If I were asked what one will come to understand if he/she makes the turn of consciousness, I would say, "True joy and happiness."
In the process of making the turn of consciousness, one will come to know that he/she is full of darkness. However, as one makes progress in making the turn of consciousness, he/she will find himself/herself cherishing his/her side that is full of darkness.
If one reflects on his/her heart that says, "I am right and perfect. The person who is wrong is not me but him and her and the whole world," he/she will come to realize that he/she is a chunk of energy that has the potential of cutting the entire world into pieces. I am not sure whether "cutting the entire world into pieces" was the appropriate expression, but that is how dark such our energies are.
Ask yourself whether the statement "I am right and perfect" fits the description of your energy with which you lead your daily life. Please reflect on your heart. Are you sure you are right and perfect? The world from this point on will be making a turn in the direction in which we all will need to find our own answers to the preceding question and change the basis of our lives.
The world will begin to see so many changes take place that people will naturally come to reflect on themselves and on their future. I believe that is the life we should be leading to begin with. Being urged to reflect on ourselves by changes taking place across the world may not be enough for us to realize where we made our fundamental mistake. However, we will at least have the opportunity to realize how foolish we have been. I believe people will come to change when they come to feel all things flowing in a direction beyond their understanding.
I gradually came to understand with my heart who I truly am. In addition, because I have become able to appreciate life as it is, although I know I still have many things to learn as a person, I do feel that I have grown as a person.
I have now come to think that I want to do what is right for my mother. By that, I do not mean what the general public considers as taking good care of one's mother. I have come to feel that I want to be my true self when I am with my mother, which feeling I suppose is what motivates me to think I want to do what is right for my mother.
My mother gave me my physical body. My mother gave me life. I know my mother could be foolish; in fact, I know she is, as I am too.
However, there is the undeniable truth that she gave me life.
I believe that leading my life with the awareness of what it means to be given life will help me continue to grow as a person.
I am happy that my true self has arranged my circumstances in a way that will allow me to even further make the turn of consciousness by reflecting on my heart while living together with my mother, which will lead to deepening the joy of learning about the world that I had always wanted to know about.
I believe that my true self is arranging my circumstances in a way that will help me continue to make the turn of consciousness.
Our goal is to make the turn of consciousness. All phenomena are arranged in a way that will help all consciousnesses realize that they exist within love.
