One Reaps What One Has Sowed

Somethings to Ponder
The Original pure mind is the mind without, regret, covetousness, self-love, greed, and arrogance.God tells us this knowledge is like a beautiful painting. We say how great these teachings are, but unless we put these teachings to work, it is not enough. But how do we remove these dusts from our minds?
God tells us attaining a pure mind is like digging a large root. We usually cannot do this immediately. We many times do not realize we have these evil thoughts in our minds. One indication that we have these thoughts in our minds is when negative emotions arise from our minds. For example, the emotion of anger arises when we have a combinations of dusts, especially the dust of arrogance. In the Osashizu, God tells us if we have anger, we do not know the teachings. It is the teachings that anger and worry should not arise.
So now we have anger, what do we do purify our minds?  God tells us to calm our own minds and ponder these 5 dusts in our own minds when obstacles or fate appears in our lives. God then tells us not to act on the emotion, like anger, or temptations that were created. This is the way we purify our minds. By this process, our own hearts/souls monitors our behaviors. We reap what we have sowed because of our own hearts/souls. We can either purify our minds or add additional dusts to our minds, depending on our actions we take. I have attached a step to step diagram to purify one’s mind.

DOES PRAYER WORK

Posted on May 24, 2023 by heaventruth
Somethings to Ponder
How effective is our sazuke? From a personal experience, of people performing it, I find that it is not effective. But I hear stories of how it has healed people from serious illness. In the past, the salvation of people who doctors have given up on, have increased the religion’s membership. Some may ask, why is the sazuke not effective today?
In the Ofudesaki, the iki or breath is said to have healed people. This salvation service is not available today. I believe that the sazuke is a substitute for this now. The following is from the Ofudesaki:
Hereafter, however serious an illness there may be,
the breath and the hand dance, all will be saved  12-50
Does this mean that we must perform two special services for a person to be saved? The teodori is the Joyous Service we perform everyday, asking God to save others we have spread God’s truth to. The iki or sazuke is a prayer administered directly to to sick person asking God to heal someone. What Service do we perform first?
The daily Service or teodori, we are asking God to sweep the minds of people we have already spread the truth to. These are the truth of the Original mind, heart/soul, and the working of God.  These workings are illness as guidance to help the people understand what their hearts do to purify their minds. These people by understanding the teachings will come to our places or worship to be healed by the sazuke, and will further be informed of the teachings.
Does this mean that the people that we have not spread the teachings will not be healed by performing the sazuke?  We need to first convey God’s teaching first, before we perform the sazuke. This is paramount that they understand the teachings of the Original pure mind and their own heart/soul. With their understanding, we can perform the sazuke if they request.
The healing of the body is not the primary goal of the sazuke. It is the eventual purification of their minds that is most important. With the attainment of the Original pure mind, only joy will come from their own hearts/souls. This is the the message we need to spread to the world. With our special sevices of the teodori and the sazuke, we have the instruments to save the world.
The Question therefore should be, why does the prayer not work?
YOU ARE NOT PERFORMING THE JOYOUS SERVICE DAILY.
YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE TEACHING OF THE ORIGINAL PURE MIND AND THE HEART.
YOU MAY NOT HAVE A PURE MIND YOURSELF.
YOU HAVE NOT INFORMED THE PERSON OF GOD’S TRUTH FIRST.
THE PERSON DOES NOT UNDERSTAND GOD’S TEACHINGS
Remember the sole purpose of our Services is to facilitate the sweeping of evil thoughts from others, so that their own hearts bring joy in their lives.

Interpretation:
When our hearts/souls are pure, only positive fates will come from our heart/souls. How does this happen? We must purify our minds to attain the Original pure mind (shinjitsu).

You Reap What You Have Sowed

Posted on May 22, 2023 by heaventruth

Somethings to Ponder

Most people believe that it is God that punishes or rewards us. But in the Ofudesaki, God tells us that God has only been observing us since God created human beings. If this is so, why is there suffering and joy in this world? Could there be something in our own bodies that are monitoring our own behaviors, either punishing us or rewarding us for our own behaviors? In the Ofudesaki, the phrase ponder what comes from the heart/soul is often used.

The heart’s interior, what comes from it, all ponder 2-15
Become settled with God by what comes from the heart’s interior 3-47
The heart’s pondering, this is foremost. 12-132

God is telling us that our own heart/souls collect our demerits from our evil actions. God tells us that our hearts like sand in the purification of sewage, collects the waste (demerits) created by our evil actions.

The heart/soul and the mouth are the sand and filter 3-11

Then the heart stores the demerits, and releases them as negative fate when the right opportunities arises to manifest them. These opportunites to manifest may not occur until the next life time. We reap what we have sowed will always apply because of our heart/soul.

The function of their own hearts/souls is what we must teach the world. The world’s thinking is that there are no consequences for their behaviors. Yes, they acknowledge that their evil behavior affects other people, but they do not realize what fates for themselves that they have created, and awaits for them to manifest. They only see the present, especially when it comes to their instant gratifications, and their selfish desires. When suffering to themselves eventually occur, they are at loss to why it occurs, especially when the time lapse of the cause and effect is prolonged.

It appears that it is the soul/heart that we need to understand, and spread to the world, so that they can purify their our own minds, so that only positive fate or joy will come from their hearts/souls. This is why God tells us in the first verse that the world does not understand the heart/soul.

All generations of the world, everyone I am looking at.
Because the heart’s/soul’s understanding person is nonexistent. 1-1

When one understand the heart, one can understand why suffering and joy exist in the world. But we can also purify our minds by pondering what comes from our hearts/souls. When our minds are pure, only positive fates will come from our hearts/souls.
