THE TRUTHS OF HEAVEN
God wants us to understand the soul.
Looking all over the world and through all ages, I find no one who
understands the heart (soul/spirit). (Ofudesaki 1-1)
Why does God want us to understand the soul? It is because our souls determine our future. We suffer or have joy depending on what surrounds our eternal soul.
Many of us believe that our physical bodies distinguish us from others; but it is the soul that temporarily resides in our borrowed bodies that distinguishes each individual from another. Our physical bodies return to the earth when we die, while the soul lives forever. It is the physical body that the soul uses to either advance or regress as an individual.
The soul is an amalgam of positive energies; by itself it brings upon joy to us because of these positive energies (see figure 1-1). We are taught that there is “Good” in everyone because of our original pure soul from God.
Among all mankind, there is no one who is evil.
It is only a bit of dust stuck on. 1-53
But our souls have accumulated negative energies around them (Ofudesaki 1-53). This is why we suffer (see figure 1-2). Where do these negative energies that surround the soul come from, and how do we remove them? Let us further explore the soul/heart.
The soul is an individualized ethereal positive energy source from God that enters our borrowed bodies at conception or shortly after; and it leaves our lifeless bodies at death to return to Heaven (see figure 1-3).
During our earthly stays, the soul helps remove the negative energies that are produced by our evil actions; and stores them as negative energies (see figure 1-4). The soul eventually releases the negative energies and redirects it back to us (see figure 1-5). What do these negative energies manifest into?
