The first version of this book was published in August 2007, followed by its second version in July 2011. In publishing this book, the third version, I made revisions throughout the book. With the first edition being published in 2007, and this year being 2015, eight years has passed since this book was first published.
Looking back over the past years, 30 years ago, Mr. Tomekichi Taike began holding two-night-three-day seminars under the following titles: 1) Eruranti no hikari seminar (The Seminar of the Light of Lranti), 2) UTA kai seminar (The Seminar of the UTA Gathering), 3) Ishiki no nagare benkyokai (The Study Group of the Flow of Consciousness), and 4) UTA kai (The UTA Gathering). The first seminar I attended was held in April 1993, so I have been pursuing the study of the heart with Mr. Tomekichi Taike for more than 20 years now. I have made friends with fellow practitioners across the nation. Subsequently, this year, 2015, came to be a turning point for the study of the heart. Seminars held with Mr. Tomekichi Taike at the center came to an end in December 2014, and seminars came to be held under the title "UTA no wa" (The UTA Circle). Of course, although seminars are no longer held with Mr. Tomekichi Taike at the center, our aim of learning about the truth to the world by turning our hearts in the direction in which Mr. Tomekichi Taike pointed remains the same.
This is the reason this revised version of this book came to be published.
In this book, I have said the reason we are born is to make the turn of consciousness. The most important thing in life is making the turn of consciousness. In other words, if asked. "Why we were born," I would say, "To learn of our true selves." Unless one truly comes to understand that we were indeed born to learn of our true selves, one will continue to wander about in the darkness for eternity, just as one has been in his/her past lifetimes.
As I said in "21. Conclusion," the most important point in making the turn of consciousness is to reflect on one's heart. In addition, there is another important point in making the turn of consciousness, which is meditation. By "meditation," I do not mean just any kind of meditation, but the proper kind of meditation. As one comes to be able to meditate properly, he/she will come to make progress in making the turn of consciousness. In addition, as one comes to make the turn of consciousness, the quality of his/her meditation will also be improved. In other worlds, "making the turn of consciousness" and "the proper kind of meditation" work together like the tires on a car—one opens the door to the world of truth and the other keeps opening that door wider and wider.
The last message I would like to leave readers with is as follows: I look forward to seeing you open the door to the world of truth and spin the wheels on your car so that you also can proceed comfortably along the path toward the truth.
By "proceed comfortably along the path toward the truth," I mean flowing along with the flow of consciousness and its plan of moving onto the next dimension, designed for 250 to 300 years from now.
I look forward to seeing readers respond to the message "let's move onto the next dimension" being sent by the flow of consciousness.
In closing this book, I would like to explain what I mean by meditating properly.
As one makes progress in making the turn of consciousness, one will come to find it fun to meditate. As I said earlier, spend some time on turning your heart toward the thoughts that surface toward you, breathing from your stomach a couple times, and then calling your mother in your heart.
The final step of meditation is to turn one's heart toward Tomekichi Taike, trust in him, and leave everything to him.
Of course, by "Tomekichi Taike," I mean the same Mr. Tomekichi Taike who has been holding seminars for us for the past 30 years.
However, when I say, "turn one's heart toward Tomekichi Taike," I do not mean the person "Mr. Tomekichi Taike." Rather, I mean the world of consciousness, located in the direction in which Mr. Tomekichi Taike points.
In other words, when Mr. Tomekichi Taike says, "Turn your heart toward me," he is saying to turn your heart toward your true self that exists inside yourself.
Another thing Mr. Tomekichi Taike says is that our true selves are love just like he is himself. He says that our true selves are existences that radiate an infinite amount of the energy of love. He says that we are consciousnesses, energies, and love, and he says that we are one.
Mr. Tomekichi Taike says, "The world of Tomekichi Taike is full of joy and warmth. The world of Tomekichi Taike exists in everyone's heart. Therefore, it is a truly foolish thing to try to search for something that will help you relax or heal you without knowing the world of Tomekichi Taike."
Mr. Tomekichi Taike says, "Please reflect on your heart that tends to search outside of itself when you want to feel relaxed, healed, and warmth. What kind of condition do you think a heart that searches outside itself for relaxation, healing, and warmth is in? On the other hand, why do you think people feel lonely? Why do you think people feel empty? Why do you think people feel lonely and empty, no matter how much of everything they have, what large amount of money they have, and what large number of others they are surrounded by? If one knew that he/she had warmth, joy, and peace inside himself/herself, he/she would not have needed to search outside himself/herself. However, people have always been, over many past lifetimes, searching for warmth, joy, peace, and healing outside themselves. I believe we need to accept the fact that we have forgot who our true selves were and come to believe our physical bodies as being ourselves and thereby only been interested in ourselves as existences in the physical world. As long as one continues to believe his/her physical body as being himself/herself, one will not be able to free himself/herself from feeling lonely and empty, and one must know how painful that must be. One will of course not be able to consider himself/herself as being happy as long as he/she continues to believe his/her physical body as being himself/herself. In addition, as long as one is not aware of the fact that he/she is truly happy, one would not be able to help others become happy. If one comes to understand the preceding statement, he/she will come to also understand how arrogant it is to try to help others become happy and how foolish it is to ask others to make you happy."
As one begins to make the turn of consciousness, he/she will come to understand with his/her heart what is said in the preceding quotations of Mr. Tomekichi Taike.
In addition, there is another thing that one will come to understand as he/she begins to make the turn of consciousness.
He/she will come to understand the message "Let's proceed along the path toward moving onto the next dimension together" being sent by the flow of consciousness.
The flow of consciousness says, "The time remaining for people on earth to continue receiving messages from the flow of consciousnesses has reached its final 300 years. In these 300 years, the planet of earth will undergo many natural disasters. The flow of consciousnesses will continue to send the message of 'let's move onto the next dimension together' to consciousnesses that come to have physical bodies on the planet of earth. The flow of consciousnesses will do so by triggering natural disasters. In addition, the scale and magnitude of the natural disasters about to occur are way beyond what people could possibly imagine. The flow of consciousnesses will continue to send the message of 'let's move onto the next dimension' by triggering such enormous natural disasters. The flow of consciousnesses are energies of love. The flow of consciousnesses exist as energies, and being energies of love, they will begin carrying out their work in the near future."
As I meditate, I feel thoughts describable along the preceding lines.
I believe what the flow of consciousness says in its messages is completely beyond the knowledge of people who believe the physical world as being the real world. I assume such people would not be able to believe what the flow of consciousness says. However, I can see what the flow of consciousness says happening. Messages from the flow of consciousness resonate in my heart. I can feel with my heart the fact that we will be undergoing various events and thereby be sending messages back to the flow of consciousness over the course of the next 300 years.
In addition, the flow of consciousness and I will be sending the messages "Let's proceed along the path toward the truth together" and "We will be waiting for you forever."
However, note that those who choose to understand such messages as meaning what they want them to mean will misunderstand them. This is because, if one has not made any progress in making the turn of consciousness, he/she will likely not be aware of the fact that kindness comes with strictness.
The messages "Let's proceed along the path toward moving onto the next dimension together" and "We will be waiting for you forever" conveys the joy of establishing oneself as an independent practitioner of the study of the heart. By "joy," here, I mean the joy of the world of consciousness, where the following formula will always prove to be true: 1 + 2 = 3. In the world of consciousness, such a formula as 1 + 2 ≒ 3 does not exist.
A message sent from the source of happiness comes with strictness. I hope readers properly understand the messages from the flow of consciousness.
The time we have remaining this lifetime will be one in which each and every one of us will come to be faced with the need to consider which path each of them will choose to take. We will all need to consider how we will choose to exist, live, and eventually pass away.
I look forward to seeing everyone feel with their heart the kindness and love that comes to be directed toward themselves as they take up the practice of properly meditating and reflecting on their hearts and dosing so as much as possible while they still have their physical bodies.
Those who do take up such a practice will come to feel with their heart the world of consciousness, and the more they do, the stronger they will feel the strictness of the study of the heart.
As long as one pursues the study of the heart for a selfish reason, he/she will either find the study as being too strict or unacceptable.
However, as one comes to listen to the thoughts of his/her true self and understand true joy and happiness with one's heart, he/she will come to understand that strictness is what true love and warmth is.
He/she will find that a world of consciousness does indeed exist. If one comes to understand that the world of consciousness is where he/she exists, he/she will come to understand that the present and future exists in strictness and in happiness.
The flow of consciousness will prove itself to be true over the next 300 years. I am confident that the world of consciousness is in the process of proving itself. My true self tells me that the world of consciousness is not such an insignificant existence as the voice of heaven or of god(s). All I intend to do from here on is continue practicing what the true world taught me.
As I said earlier, mistakes will be reduced to dust, starting our lifetime. The world of consciousness will begin to change greatly, starting our lifetime. In other words, events that urge their experiencers to make the turn of consciousness will happen to everyone. What choice one will make when the time comes is up to each of us. However, we must remember that making a choice comes with responsibility.
The time we have left on this planet is 300 years. I do not know whether earth will still exist after 300 years.
My true self tells me that I will no longer be reincarnating on this planet after 300 years. My true self tells me that I will be returning to my true world after 300 years.
As Mr. Tomekichi Taike said, "Consciousnesses exist for eternity and we all exist in true happiness."
I look forward to seeing readers make the turn of consciousness.
I also look forward to seeing readers come to realize that the time they have left exists so that they can come to know their true selves.
Making the turn of consciousness is undoubtedly a path to joy.
I look forward to seeing readers join the flow of consciousness in its journey of moving onto the next dimension.
