Excerpts from Recent Lectures and Guidance

On several recent occasions, I have talked about the 20th century; a century of development which we have lived through, as an “Era of expansion.”

However, at the same time, the 20th century had another side to it. What do you think it was? It was the “Era of hollowing-out.” Cycle II, Development of the World, solved the problems of the world one after another and changed this earth that we live in into an affluent place. The freeway is one example, and it led to the creation of one thing after another.

Precisely, the power of Cycle II has expanded. However, what happened to our Cycle I (Exploration of the Inner Realm)? Cycle II has expanded and we rely on it. However, what about the trust in the inner realm of human beings? Haven’t we lost trust in our inner realm?

That power has been lost and our inner realms have become hollowed out which has led us to believe that human beings are empty inside and there is no value inside us. We have lost trust in the inner part of ourselves.

However, now is the time that we must reactivate the power of our souls within us, the power of our hearts once again. We need to reactivate them and nurture Cycle I to deepen and develop ourselves. 

To activate Cycle I, we need to regain the power of our souls. Then, what does it mean to regain the power of our souls?

How does our soul currently exhibit that power? And even if that power of the soul cannot be seen now, what kind of potentialities do each of you carry inside of you? We must be able to grasp this.

Now, everyone, how can we perceive this power of our soul? This can be found in the Mission Network that we just learned about, and where the power of the soul is manifested.
