Excerpts from Recent Lectures and Guidance

Now everyone, don’t we have the notion in the back of our minds that “well, that’s my life” or “no matter how much I try, this is as good as it gets.”

This may be the case when we are thinking about our future as we just spin that second cycle (the cycle of developing the world), which is the cycle responding to reality. This is because our future is created according to the way we have lived our lives until now, in other words according to its force of inertia.

However, when we begin activating the first cycle, (cycle of exploring our internal realm) which eventually links to the 2nd cycle, the 3rd cycle emerges. Then, just as it happened in Mr. Okaniwa’s life (the presenter of the Practice Report at the lecture), wouldn’t that enable us to see the future, or find the way to a solution, that is beyond our imagination?

I believe that the possibilities in our lives are so much greater than what we think. I am convinced of this, as I have accompanied the lives of more than ten thousand people, and witnessed the changes in each of them. It shows us that there is potential within us that is far more vast.
