OFUDESAKI 10-28

Interpretation:
The toritsugi person represents one who knows about the Original mind, the mind that is pure. God wants these people to convey the truth of the Original mind to others. This is a mind without covetousness, regret, self-love, greed, and arrogance.

OFUDESAKI 10-27

Interpretation:
The translation of narimono is uncertain. Most people will say that it translates into musical instruments. But it also translates into harvest, or members that are brought in by our prayer (Joyous Service). The Kagura Service will be performed by the 10 entities (including God(s), 8 instruments from the muddy ancient ocean, and the remainder of 9 from the harvest. This performance will bring upon the heavenly dew from heaven upon the Kanrodai.

OFUDESAKI 10-26

Interpretation:
I believe this is talking about January 26, 1887, when Oyasama passes away. Up to this time, God was preparing the early followers to perform the Service. I believe this is the date that the performance of the Service truly becomes effective.

OFUDESAKI 10-24

Interpretation:
God is telling us when our minds are pure, there will be no failure in any of our prayers. This is why it is important that we first direct our attention to our own minds. We must remove regret, covetousness, self-love, greed, and arrogance from our minds.

OFUDESAKI 10=23

The Original mind is the mind given to the first Parents of human beings. This is a mind without regret, covetousness, self-love, greed, and arrogance. This is a mind that God accepts when we pray.

OFUDESAKI 10-22

Nihon’s parent refers to Oyasama. Nihon refers to a location where the minds are pure. The location of the Pillar is where the first parent (Oyasama) was first created by God. God was telling the early followers that the parent of human beings was living at that time. With Oyasama’s physical demise, her soul returned to the location of the Central Pillar. It is my interpretation that God compares our mind with the pure mind of Oyasama when we pray. This is why when the location of the Origin was first initiated, Oyasama’s physical body stopped at the same location where human beings were created.The others who proceeded to walk also stopped at this location because their minds were pure.
