Tenrikyo /God Wants Us to Understand the Soul/Heart
God descended from heaven to teach us about the soul. Illnesses, pains and sufferings may be placed upon our bodies as God’s guidance to help us understand the heart/soul.
We can accept these inconveniences as God’s will or as coincidence; or we can ponder over these sufferings and begin to understand the soul and how it affects us. When we understand the soul, we can understand the origins of joy and suffering in this world.
The soul is an individualized ethereal positive energy source from God that enters our bodies at birth, and leaves our bodies at death. During our earthly stay, it collects our evil thoughts as negative energies; and it gradually releases the negative energies back to us as sufferings. We reap what we sow.
For many people, the purification of the mind will be a long process, dependent on the amount of negative energy they have accumulated around their soul, which is also equivalent to the amount of evil thoughts in their mind. These sufferings that the negative energies manifest will test their resolve of not taking action on their evil thoughts. There is a saying that from a knot, a bud will sprout if we understand the soul.
But suppose we do not understand what the soul does? If we act on our evil thoughts when the soul distributes its negative energy, the mind will continue to produce more negative thoughts. This increases the negative energy surrounding the pure soul, causing the soul to bring upon more suffering upon ourselves. From a knot, knots will continue to sprout if we do not understand the soul. Do not ignore the manifestations of the soul.
