Excerpts from Recent Lectures and Guidance

In order for any one of these luminous achievements to actualize, an accumulated power of millions of people was necessary to form a collective power that would produce this. Your achievement followed a similar pattern of behavior like the magma that rises from a wide and deep part of the earth beneath several sedimentary layers, focusing its entire force to surge upward and to erupt from a single exit of the earth’s surface.

What was the nature of your achievement? It began with your gathering in this country during that era to form a collective force and to share the same mission of rebuilding Japan into its current state. Each one of you worked in various locations and industries dedicating yourselves to your respective positions and, as a result, you unified subject (self) with object (reality) and lifted Japan from a state of burnt ruins to that of wondrous growth.

Many neighboring Asian countries referred to this as the “Japanese miracle.” Consider the amount of power you produced. From where did this wisdom, power, skills, and spirit originate?
Is this not testament to your identity as a collective group who carried a shared aspiration from afar and a vision with a mission to revitalize Japan?

By unifying the self with reality you paved a path away from pain, confusion, stagnation and destruction to create the current state of Japan. It was you and those of an earlier generation who accomplished this. The reason that you were able to do this was because you harbored the following spirit within you:
I will not neglect, abandon, or give up.

You sought to be born into this era because there was a necessity in your soul – a wish that lay deep within your soul. This necessity of the soul was what guided you here as a group of souls to achieve the “Japanese miracle.” Let us now produce another miracle. We need to take on this challenge and produce another miracle in order to respond to the calling for a new era and for a new world.
