Turning Consciousness
– Love: The Self Within –


Chapter 12:
The truth can only be pursued by those
who are truly strong



A strong person is able to examine who his/her true self is without looking away. A strong person is able to face himself/herself with an extremely strong resolution to find out who he/she truly is. By "a strong person" I do not mean, a heroic person.

On the other hand, a weak person is not someone who is a coward or a nice weakling. A weak person is someone who is unable to believe in himself/herself. A weak person is someone who does not know how cold it is to give up on oneself.

A weak person does not become depressed because he/she is a coward. A weak person chooses to go to hell because he/she is cold to himself/herself and not strong enough to keep believing in himself/herself.

Being nice is to be strict. To be strict is to have love. I believe growing love inside oneself requires being able to trust oneself with all one's heart.

I believe the study of the heart will from here on require building a strong relationship with oneself, based on absolute trust.

We were born to reflect on ourselves, and reflecting on ourselves required having a physical body. We came to have our physical body not to express ourselves but to reflect on ourselves. Once one realizes that his/her physical body exists so that he/she could reflect on himself/herself, the way in which the person spends his/her time will naturally change from that point on. The person will come to know what to prioritize in his/her remaining time.

Of course, one will still need to lead his/her life as a member of society, since he/she will still need to maintain his/her physical body. That is how the world works today. However, once one realizes why one has his/her physical body, one will come to realize that everything he/she needs has already been prepared right in front of himself/herself. He/she will come to realize that everything he/she needs in order to reflect on himself/herself has already been prepared, which realization will strike him/her with joy and satisfaction. One's heart will be satisfied and become worry-free. Once one realizes he/she already has everything he/she needs, lacking nothing at all, his/her desire to have more will gradually become weaker, while his/her satisfaction of already being provided with everything necessary will grow stronger.

As long as one believes the physical world as being the real world, he/she will only be able to notice what he/she lacks and what he/she wants. The more one comes to have, the more one will come to want. The sense of lacking something will keep growing, which will only cause one to suffer.

Once one realizes that he/she has his/her physical body for the sake of his/her true self (or consciousness), he/she (or his/her physical self) will come to understand that he/she has everything his/her true self (or consciousness) needs, both economically and otherwise, to pursue the study of the heart. Such a case where a person lacks something that they need in order to pursue this study of the heart will not occur, and in saying so, I am not only speaking not only financially but also otherwise in every possible way.

We all choose our surroundings, preparing ourselves to pursue this study of the heart. We all know what we need in order to reflect on ourselves. This is because we come to have our physical bodies for the sake of our true selves (or consciousnesses). One would be convinced that what I am saying is true if he/she reflects on himself/herself, allowing himself/herself to be part of the flow of consciousness. Ask yourself why things turn out the way they do in your surroundings. The answer to your question would then come automatically to you. You will realize that everything turned out just as you planned before you were born.

If you look at the physical world as the real world, issues in front of you may seem unresolvable; however, they are not. Once you come to this realization, you will be more encouraged than ever before. You will come to believe in your true self instead of your false self, with which decision will come happiness and encouragement.

One will come to think, "My surroundings needed to turn out the way they did for me to awaken to the truth."

If one comes to think along the preceding lines, he she will find himself/herself as being truly happy. One will, for the first time in his/her life, be experiencing a truly happy time where he/she can actually thank himself/herself. He/she will be feeling joy and happiness in the fact that he/she came to know his/her true self. Such joy and happiness will pour out from one's heart like water from a spring. Such joy and happiness will at other times burst out from the bottom of one's heart. I look forward to seeing readers become able to seriously and honestly face themselves. As I said earlier, only truly strong people are able to pursue the truth. In other words, one needs to be a truly strong person to be able to flow along with the flow of consciousness headed toward moving onto the next dimension, and the realization that love had always existed inside one's heart will help us once again become a truly strong person.
