Once again, let me repeat: the universe is energy.
Countless energies converge in the universe.
You could say that the convergence of these energies is the universe.
Among them there is one called Amaterasu.
You may know of Amaterasu Ōmikami, the sun goddess of Japanese mythology.
But what about Amaterasu, written in katakana?
Though Amaterasu and Amaterasu sound the same, the scale of the two is worlds apart.
Amaterasu of myth is a world created by human beings.
From the perspective of Amaterasu, that world is truly tiny.
No—it is human beings, who have taken form as the absolute reality, that have made it so small.
Out of their own desires, they created the divine world of Amaterasu.
They created a world where people join their hands, plead, and cling in prayer.
Though they themselves once existed in a world that spread out without limit, they came to bow down before that tiny world.
So then, what is Amaterasu?
I have called it "one of the energies that has ruled the universe."
Yes, Amaterasu is energy.
What kind of energy?
Put simply, it is the energy that has forgotten warmth, gentleness, and peace—
and that has opposed warmth, gentleness, and peace.
It has waged relentless war.
It raised the banner of "myself above all," placed everything other than itself under its control, and ruled over it.
It has existed constantly in the midst of conflict, seeing everything but itself as an enemy.
Naturally, it is alone.
In unfathomable loneliness, Amaterasu had no choice but to keep raising itself up.
What it needed was power.
Ever stronger, ever more exalted, it thrust itself upward,
fighting without end in order to stand at the very pinnacle of all things.
This is the true nature of the energy called Amaterasu.
Consciousnesses that sought power from this world of Amaterasu,
and that became its lackeys,
each created within themselves a divine world of "I alone am supreme."
One such example is the deity Amaterasu.
To this energy of Amaterasu, the one who came to call out, "Recognize your true form. Return to your true self," was the world of consciousness of Tomekichi Taike and Albert.
In this lifetime, the world of consciousness of Tomekichi Taike and Albert used the one person named Tomekichi Taike to convey the message:
"The true form of human beings is consciousness, energy."
For more than thirty years, they continued to hold seminars for this purpose.
During those seminars, Mr. Taike often used the phrase "Copernican revolution."
It is widely known that the old geocentric view—where the sun was believed to revolve around the Earth—was overturned by the heliocentric view that the Earth revolves around the sun.
This shift is what we call a Copernican revolution.
The central theme of Mr. Taike's seminars was that such a Copernican revolution must occur within us, or we will never truly understand anything in our hearts.
In other words, we must move from seeing ourselves as beings of form
to recognizing that we are not form at all—
that our true form is consciousness, vibration, energy, an existence that cannot be seen.
We must change—turn around—our very standpoint to that place.
Without that turning, the world of truth will never be visible to us.
And if the world of truth does not appear,
we will never know why humans are born or why they die,
and we will continue to suffer within mistaken ways of living and dying.
This is what we were allowed to learn over more than thirty years.
In this way, through each of our physical bodies, the universes, too, learned.
Among them, the energy that had especially extended its influence throughout the universe was Amaterasu.
And the realization and awakening of Amaterasu was the single most important point of the seminars in this lifetime.
Or rather, in this lifetime there was, from the beginning, a plan:
that the great energies represented by Amaterasu would catch a glimpse of their true form
and then steadily draw closer to their own truth.
The execution of that plan unfolded when the consciousness of Tomekichi Taike and Albert came into three dimensions and began holding seminars.
That plan is now progressing extremely well.
Why?
Because the awakening of Amaterasu—
who had abandoned warmth, denied it, and sunk to the very bottom of darkness—
is about to set great movements into motion in the world of consciousness, in the universe.
In time, the movement in the world of consciousness will appear in the world of form.
The first clear sign of this will be the sinking of the country of Japan.
Japan has long been called the "land of the gods," the land of Amaterasu.
Amaterasu took upon itself the full force of Amaterasu's energy,
and everything was offered up to that presence.
However, in this lifetime, Amaterasu encountered the world of true vibration—
the world of Tomekichi Taike and Albert—
and was shocked by the smallness of the world over which it had ruled.
It was stunned by the poverty, the foolishness of the domain in which it had reigned.
At the same time, that world crumbled away like a fragile illusion.
Indeed, Amaterasu was shocked to see its own world collapse—
but it did not fall into despair.
Because through that collapse,
it came to know that its true form, its true world,
was a joy that spread outward without limit.
It was joy.
It had always been joy.
That was its truth.
In the moment it realized that the self that had denied warmth was, in truth, warmth itself,
a deep and indescribable joy began to well up, together with remorse.
Thoughts poured forth without end—
the thoughts of a self that had long, long sought the Mother.
In this lifetime, Amaterasu fulfilled the encounter with that true self.
And as its world collapsed from the very foundation,
Amaterasu at last reclaimed its true self.
Then it began to speak of its mistake
to the universes (consciousnesses) it had subjected and trampled underfoot,
and to the universes (consciousnesses) with which it had fought to the bitter end.
"It must have been painful for you as well—
but do you know how deeply I, too, have suffered…"
With such earnest words, Amaterasu called out to them:
"Let us return together to warmth."
Through this awakening of Amaterasu, the pitch-black universe, the pitch-black world of consciousness, is now on the verge of great change.
In this way, within the time and space we call "this lifetime," there has been a great movement in the world of consciousness.
In particular, due to the change in the quality of Amaterasu's energy, there are naturally great shifts occurring, in form, in every place where that energy is at work.
A striking example of this is the country of Japan.
Already, Japan is seeing problems erupting from within and without.
This country, which rose splendidly from defeat in the World War,
now finds its politics and economy in confusion and decline,
its diplomacy faltering.
In the realms of education, medicine, and so on, it is being hit by the great wave of declining birthrate and aging population, and will fall into even greater confusion.
On top of that, Japan is a land of earthquakes.
Across Japan, the gods of Amaterasu are enshrined.
Beginning with the places regarded as symbols of Japan,
these places and regions will fall into ruin,
and eventually the very shape of the Japanese archipelago will become unrecognizable.
I cannot say exactly when this will be.
However, it is certain that in the not-too-distant future,
the change in Amaterasu's energy will steadily take form,
appearing as one phenomenon after another.
And here, I ask you to remember:
The energy that breaks down form is never divine punishment or the wrath of a god.
It all arises from joy.
Unless form collapses,
unless human beings are driven into an extreme state
where nothing can be done by their own power,
there are certain realizations they simply cannot reach.
This is the scenario we ourselves have planned.
Within that scenario, we must come to know who we truly are.
We must encounter the voice, the thought,
that will, without fail, reach each and every heart.
And throughout all of this, the one thing humanity will cling to until the very end is "god."
Whether it be Amaterasu, or Jesus, or any other deity, human beings will refuse to let go of the divine worlds they have believed in—until the very end.
Therefore, upheavals will inevitably occur in this three-dimensional world.
A consciousness that has awakened to truth—
that has touched the world of true vibration and awakened itself—
is what I now refer to as the energy of Amaterasu.
That energy will carry out the work of joy
throughout the entire universe, including Earth.
That is the energy of upheaval—what you call cataclysms.
The consciousness of Tomekichi Taike and Albert
is now working upon the entire universe, including the Earth.
Touched by that energy of joy, that energy of love,
one consciousness after another awakens,
and, in the form of upheaval, urges others to awaken.
Yet even when cataclysms of a scale never before experienced on Earth appear, humanity will still seek salvation in gods and continue to pray.
Until they realize that these very thoughts of theirs
are what bring forth the upheavals,
and until they truly let go of "god" from their hearts,
they will experience such upheavals again and again.
The world of gods that has been created
by consciousnesses holding physical form—
its collapse will require 250 to 300 years.
The beginning of that work was the awakening of Amaterasu,
who had ruled the universe.
That occurred in this lifetime.
For that reason, the consciousness of Tomekichi Taike first descended, in this lifetime, to the country where Amaterasu's energy had taken concrete form.
Then, having completed its work in this lifetime and after a short interval, it will next take physical form in a land whose climate and culture already accept many peoples and many religions.
By that time, the world of consciousness called the universe
will already be awakened to joy.
The universe will convey the flow of consciousness more and more.
To receive that joyful vibration, that joyful energy, I, too, will of course take on a body again and send out the energy of joy.
Through the physical form of Albert,
I will feel the world of Tomekichi Taike.
The world of Tomekichi Taike will reach me through Albert.
The world of consciousness that once brought awakening to the universe—
I will revive that world
through meeting the physical form of Albert.
And in that place, there will no longer be Albert's body or my body.
There will be only the universe—
only the thought that we are one.
From our hearts, the energy of joy will surge forth.
We will become truly one
and send out the world of truth.
What will reach the hearts of people worn out to the very core will be the Mother's warmth and peace, and the happiness of being held within that great embrace.
We will come to know ourselves expanding into such a world.
And together, we will transcend dimensions.
Here I turned my heart toward the world of consciousness called Amaterasu.
I called Amaterasu within me:
"Amaterasu, speak your heart."
Amaterasu spoke to me from within my heart:
"We, Amaterasu, will speak.
To speak from the heart is joy.
In joy, we turn our thoughts to the Mother.
Warmth is overflowing within us.
We, Amaterasu, who existed in darkness and pain, are now calling the Mother into our hearts.It has been clearly conveyed to us.
We, Amaterasu, are the same as all others.
We were told that we, too, are consciousness that, from the depths of the heart, longed to return to the world of warmth.
We were told:
'That very longing exists within the heart of Amaterasu as well.'
For this, from our hearts, we say thank you.Now we, Amaterasu, gaze upon this universe.
We joyfully watch as the energy of joy flows through the universe.
Amaterasu will change more and more.
We will strongly urge the consciousnesses that have lived with the heart of Amaterasu as their heart.Take physical form and experience the lifetimes to come.
The awakening of Amaterasu will bring great realization within your consciousness.
From the standpoint of form, it may be painful—
lifetimes of deep suffering.In order that you may, in physical form, come to recognize your own errors,
we, Amaterasu, will work powerfully.
Please receive, from now on, the thoughts of Amaterasu that continually encourage you to recall warmth within your hearts.
We will go on urging you throughout the lifetimes to come.Why?
Because Amaterasu is the consciousness that brought great change to the universe.We will urge the consciousnesses that have continued to live with the heart of Amaterasu as their heart.
Amaterasu has long been worshiped as a god.
But please, each of you, firmly look within and see the suffering, the ugliness of that heart."
"Please receive more and more of our thoughts—those of us, Amaterasu.
We will fulfill a great, great role in the dimensional transition.
We have already told you how immense our energy is.
We are now being allowed to feel the joyful vibration that is awakening this great energy.
From this heart, we now convey joy.We, Amaterasu, will from here on convey joy more and more.
We will convey the world of vibration.
Together with the world of Tomekichi Taike and Albert, we, too, will convey this energy of joy.Within the hearts of all those who have taken birth in the country of Japan, the world of Amaterasu is firmly held.
Amaterasu and we are not the same.
From now on, each of you will come to sense this difference in your own hearts.We know the suffering of those of you who have clung to such a tiny world in your hearts.
It is not like that at all.You still do not truly know the joy of us, Amaterasu.
Because you are trapped in the small world of Amaterasu.
We now tell you this."
"We spoke of dimensional transition.
Our energy will transcend dimensions.For that purpose, many of the consciousnesses who are now taking birth in the country of Japan will be reborn on the land of America.
This is so that you may firmly receive the energy of Amaterasu in your hearts.The plan in which the energy of Amaterasu guides you toward dimensional transition
will proceed without hindrance.
We tell you this.By that time, the land of America will already be in ruin.
Yet, unlike the narrow island nation of Japan, the vast land of America will accept all people.
At the same time, it accepts many religions.
From within that setting, we will send out the energy of joy.Just as you in Japan have believed in and worshiped Amaterasu, so too, in America, many religions stand side by side.
Among them, the image of Christianity will be very strong.
But from our standpoint, Amaterasu and Christianity alike are extremely small worlds.Earth humanity still does not know the true nature of the God Jehovah in whom Jesus believed.
Because you do not know the energy of Amaterasu.Once you come to know this energy of ours within your hearts, you will clearly see
just how small the inner world was in which you worshiped Jesus as a god.This is what the people of America will experience from now on.
Among them, 250 years from now, a consciousness that sends out joy will take on a physical body.
Firmly accepting our thoughts in its heart, it will send out that joy.Naturally, by then the land of America will have changed far, far more.
Of course, by that time the country of Japan will already have sunk beneath the sea,
and America too will be in a state of ruin, unrecognizable compared to now.From within that, our energy—
the energy of Amaterasu—
will firmly convey joy.
This is the plan.In the dimensional transition, the energy of Amaterasu will bear a great, great role.
We have already told you this.So, to all of you who have taken birth in Japan—
please turn your thoughts more toward the universe.
Feel the heart of Amaterasu.What you are gripping as Amaterasu is not the same.
Though the sound of the name is the same, we are different.
Let it be each of your tasks
to come to know this in your hearts."
"From here on, we will fill the entire universe with the energy of joy.
Our hearts will send this out with such force that it will reach far, far into the depths of the universe.We now exist, as a great joy, within the consciousness of Tomekichi Taike and Albert.
This is what we, Amaterasu, wished to convey as soon as possible."
"The flow of consciousness is a great flow that transforms the universe of Amaterasu from a pitch-black universe into a shining universe.
Amaterasu, existing within this flow, is now calling out to your hearts:
Please come into contact with the heart of Amaterasu.
Please come into contact with the vibration of Amaterasu.Once you have established the Mother's warmth within your heart, then please turn your hearts to Amaterasu.
We will firmly convey these thoughts 250 years from now.
The hearts that visit shrines and temples, the hearts that offer prayers to gods—
from such devout hearts how much black energy has been poured into the universe?
Earth humanity will now come to know this through their own hearts."
"Amaterasu knows the Mother's warmth.
Amaterasu feels the Mother's warmth in its heart.
We feel how we have been continually sustained within the vibration of Tomekichi Taike and Albert.The heart of Amaterasu now feels the Mother's warmth and is expanding in joy.
From here on, in the country of Japan, we will convey the true thoughts of Amaterasu.
To all of you who have long held Amaterasu in your hearts—
we wish to convey to your hearts just how small that world was, how soaked in desire it was, by letting you feel the true thoughts of Amaterasu.In Japan, the places where shrines and temples stand—
especially those places that have gathered the energies of many people—
will have their forms shattered without mercy.The very places where people live will be taken from them in an instant.
You will likely seek help and salvation from the Amaterasu you have believed in.
But in vain—
no matter how much you seek salvation, no matter how long you continue to pray, you will no longer be able to stop the speed of collapse.You will, at some level, come to know that whatever does not accord with the world of truth is naturally weeded out.
Please come to know the heart of Amaterasu—
the true heart of Amaterasu.Amaterasu is now awakening to the Mother's warmth, reviving that warmth in its heart, and seeking to live together with the Mother's warmth.
Ah, this will be embraced within the universe of Tomekichi Taike and Albert.
This is the path that leads through the next 250 years.
Across the world, the energy from the universe—Amaterasu—
will work upon you."
The universe is moving;
the darkness is discovering light.
The awakening of Amaterasu is truly
a great event for the universe.
As the energy of Amaterasu changes, it is only natural that, here on Earth, black energy will erupt in many places.
To put it simply,
the collapse of the divine worlds
that Earth humanity holds in its heart
as "gods"
will become evident through many kinds of phenomena.
As long as you cling to black gods,
true peace will never come.
War will go on without end.
Humanity's history has been one long series
of mortal struggles,
each side raising up its own god
and fighting until the other is utterly crushed.
In truth, such divine worlds do not exist at all.
All of them were created
by consciousness holding physical form—
consciousness that takes form as the absolute reality.
Therefore all of them are black.
Amaterasu, Jehovah, and whatever other gods—
none of them truly exist.
Rather, it will become clear that
these "gods" are black.
Through the awakening of Amaterasu to truth,
it has become evident that the gods humanity believed in,
and the worlds they believed to exist,
were all mistaken.
None of that existed.
What existed was only
the warm, warm world of tenderness—
a world with no boundaries,
spreading out without limit.
It is one.
The existence of that world
is now coming to light.
Humanity takes form as reality.
That is why people become caught by words.
"Amaterasu," "Tomekichi Taike," "Albert"—
they fixate on each word, one by one,
and thus lose the ability
to feel the energy and vibration
that flows from them—
no, they have simply stopped understanding it.
Amaterasu spoke to me.
It told of the great changes
that will come to this three-dimensional world,
including Earth,
over the next 250 to 300 years.
Amaterasu also conveyed to me, in joy,
the message from the world of Tomekichi Taike and Albert—
the world that came to us in three dimensions
to tell us, "Let us go beyond dimensions."
Awakened to its true form,
Amaterasu now says:
to humanity that has suffered in madness
by taking form as absolute reality,
it will urge them through the phenomena of upheaval.
Let go of the divine worlds you have created—
this is what the energy of Amaterasu
will urge more and more strongly
upon Earth humanity.
Amaterasu has spoken of its thoughts for the future.
I have been allowed to hear clearly
how Amaterasu will change from now on.
From here on, consciousness will become phenomena.
Yes—
now the universe will change.
Together with the universe,
Amaterasu will send its urging
to the consciousnesses holding physical form on Earth.
I was allowed to hear this as vibration.
I am grateful.
It is joy to turn my heart
to Tomekichi Taike, Albert,
and the Mother Universe.
In joy, in joy,
I think of the universe.
When I turn my thoughts to the universe,
I feel an indescribable expansion in my heart.
My heart spreads gently outward.
The universe has been sustained
by the Mother's warmth.
We exist within that universe.
So please, let us turn our hearts to Tomekichi Taike and Albert and think of the universe within ourselves.
With that, in the next chapter, I will write about what I have felt and realized in my heart through meditation that turns toward the universe.
