Why the Sazuke does not work

これは、今日投稿されたサズケの効果に関する投稿に提出した返信である。
いい指摘をしたね。 私の言うことはすべておふでさきから来ている。ですから、もし私が何か間違ったことを言っていると思われるのであれば、おふでさきのどこに間違いがあるのか教えてください。 まず、おたすけ、いき ておどりについてですが、私は、おたすけは、神様の 魂の教えを最初に広めた人たちだけを対象としてい ると思っています。 このような人々は、与えられた導きを癒し、さらに魂の教えについての指示を与えられるために、私たちのところにやって来るのです。 Oyasama が最初に病人を癒したのではありません。 教祖は、最初に病気を治されたのではなく、教 えを聞いてから来られたのであり、仮に、さづけ で病気を治そうとした場合、治ったとしても、教 えではなく、病気のことだけを考えて、薬や医者が治 したと言うでしょう。  だから、おさづけは、教えを広めた人たちだけのものなのです。
あなたは種について話している。種とは、私たちが教えを広めようとする人々の kokoro (mind)に置かなければならない魂の神の情報です。 その種が芽を出しても、よふぼくにはなりません。おふでさきの中で、神様は収穫について語られています。作物の収穫のことではない。神様は、私たちの礼拝所に来てくれる人々の収穫について語っているのです。 人々にとって、その教えを納得させることは難しいかもしれません。だからこそ、神は私たちに ユウキ・ツトメ(肥料/koe)を与えてくださったのです。 遊木つとめは、神に自分のkokoro (mind)を掃除してもらう祈りではない。神様がおふでさきで教えてくださっているように、私たちは自分でその方法を知っていなければなりません この礼拝は、私たちが魂の教えを広めた人々に納得してもらえるよう、神にお願いするためのものです。 神様はどのようにされるのでしょうか?神様は、その人の kokoro (mind) の中にある否定的な思いによって、導きとして病気を置いてくださるのです。彼らが行動するのはその思いであり、それが彼らの魂から現れる運命を作り出すのである。もし彼らが否定的な考えを取り除かなければ、神は彼らの未来を示しているのだ。もし彼らが与えられた導きを理解するならば、さづけによって癒されるために私たちの礼拝所にやってくるでしょう。 こうして神の魂の教えが世界に広まっていくのだ。

まとめとして
1. 魂(ムネ)を理解することで、自分の kokoro (mind)を清める。
2. 魂の教えを他者に広める。魂(ムネ)を理解するための導きとして、神が病を置かれることがあると伝える。
3. 3. 魂の教えを広めた人々を納得させるために、神に Youki-tsutome (koe)を行う。
4. 神が病気を置いた人々が礼拝所に来た時に、さづけを行い、さらに教えを伝える。
This is a reply I submitted to a post that was posted today concerning the sazuke’s effectiveness.
You made some good points.  Everything that I say comes from the Ofudesaki. So if you think I am saying something wrong, please show me in the Ofudesaki where I am incorrect.  First let me talk about the sazuke or the iki teodori,  I believe the sazuke is intended for only the people we have initially spread God’s teachings of the soul.  These people come to our places to be healed of the guidance given, and further given instructions on the teachings of the soul.  Oyasama did not initially heal the sick, they came to her after hearing of the teachings.  If we were to go out to attempt cure every person  who has an illness with the sazuke,  even if they were cured, they would probably say that medicine or doctors cured them, as they were only concerned about their illness and not the teachings.   This is why the sazuke is meant for only the people we have spread the teachings to.
You talk about the seed. The seed is God’s information of the soul that we must place in the mind of people we attempt to spread the teaching.  The seed may not sprout to become a yoboku. In the Ofudesaki, God talks about a harvest. God is not talking about a harvest of crops. God is talking about a harvest of people who will come to our places of worship.  For people, the teachings may be difficult to convince. This is why God has given us the Youki-tsutome (fertilizer).  The Youki-tsutome is not a prayer asking God to sweep our own minds. We should know how to do that ourselves as God has given us the instructions in the Ofudesaki.  This service is to ask God to help convince the people we have spread the teachings of the soul.  How does God do this? God will place illness as guidance depending on the negative thoughts in their minds. It is these thoughts that they will act upon, which will create their fates that will appear from their souls. God is showing them their future if they do not remove their negative thoughts. If they understand the guidance given, they will come to our places of worship to be healed by the sazuke.  This is how  God’s teachings of the soul is spread to the world.
In summary
1. Purify your own mind by understanding the soul (mune).
2. Spread the teachings of the soul to others. Tell them God may place illness as guidance to help one understand the soul.
3. Perform the Youki-tsutome  asking God to convince the people you have spread the teachings of the soul.
4. Perform the sazuke to these people who God has placed illness when they come to your places of worship, and tell them further of the teachings.

Does it Matter to God

What is the purpose of religion? It is to spread the truth that will bring happiness and health to the world. This is the truth given from God to Oyasama, and written in the Ofudesaki.  God does not want to be praised, or acknowledged. God only wants God’s children to live the Joyous life.  Are all ceremonies. and rituals bringing happiness to God?  Does it matter to God what religion is able to spread God’s truth. Does it matter how much we pray and supplicate to God, if we cannot understand God’s truth.

 
What is the truth that will bring peace and happiness to the world? It is the truth of the soul that will do this.  In the first verse of the most sacred scripture, God tells us we do not understand our own soul. Throughout the Ofudesaki, God tells us we can purify our own minds if we understand what comes from our own soul. It is our fates that come from our own souls. The concept of karma and reincarnation is not new, but the concept of our own soul giving out suffering or joy is new. Most people would believe that because of God, karma appears.
 
If the world understand that is it our own soul that bring upon joy and suffering, the world will have happiness and health.  This is the truth we must understand first, and then spread it to the world.  But you may ask, how do we spread the truth of the soul.  People are reluctant to change their way of thinking when addressed about new concepts like the soul. This is why God has given us the youki-tsutome. This is a prayer asking God to help us convince the people we have spread the teachings of the soul.  When God accepts our prayer, God will place illness as guidance to these people. Note that in our spreading of God’s truth, we must tell these people that God may place illness to convince them of the soul. 
 
Why is God placing illness?  God is showing them the negative thoughts in their minds by the illness given. It is these thoughts we act upon that creates our fates. God is just showing people their future by the guidance given. This is what their own soul does, when they act upon their negative thoughts.  When these people understand the guidance given from God, they will come to our places of worship to heal their illness, and given further the teachings of the Ofudesaki.   This is how we spread the teachings of the soul.
 
In summary, it is the truth of the soul that will bring health and happiness to the world. We must read and understand the Ofudesaki, especially the first verse. 
 
 
 
宗教の目的は何か?世界に幸福と健康をもたらす真理を広めることである。これが神からOyasamaに与えられた真理であり、おふでさきに書かれていることである。 神はほめられたいのでも、認められたいのでもない。神はただ、神の子らが陽気ぐらしをすること を望んでおられるのです。 すべての儀式や儀礼は神に幸福をもたらすのでしょうか。 神の真理を広めることができる宗教が神にとって重要なのだろうか。神の真理を理解することができなければ、神にいくら祈り、懇願しても意味がないのだろうか。
世界に平和と幸福をもたらす真理とは何か。それは魂の真理である。 最も神聖な聖典の最初の節で、神は私たちが自分自身の魂を理解していないと教えている。おふでさき』全体を通して、神は、もし私たちが自分の魂から来るものを理解するならば、私たち自身の kokoro (mind)を浄化することができると教えている。私たちの運命は、私たち自身の魂から来るものなのです。カルマや輪廻転生の概念は新しいものではないが、自分の魂が苦しみや喜びを与えるという概念は新しい。ほとんどの人は、神のおかげでカルマが現れると信じている。
喜びや苦しみをもたらすのは私たち自身の魂であることを世界が理解すれば、世界は幸福と健康を手に入れることができる。 これが私たちがまず理解しなければならない真理であり、それを世界に広めなければならない。 しかし、魂の真理をどうやって広めるのかと聞かれるかもしれない。 魂のような新しい概念について語られると、人は自分の考え方を変えたがらないものだ。だからこそ、神は私たちに youki-tsutome を与えてくださったのです。これは、私たちが魂の教えを広めた人々に納得してもらえるよう、神にお願いする祈りです。 神様が私たちの祈りを受け入れてくだされば、神様はその人たちの導き手として病気を置いてくださるのです。私たちが神の真理を広めるとき、神が魂を納得させるために病気を置くかもしれないことを、これらの人々に伝えなければならないことに注意してください。
なぜ神は病を置かれるのでしょうか? 神は与えられた病気によって、彼らのkokoro (mind) の中にある否定的な考えを示しているのだ。私たちの運命を創り出すのは、私たちが行動するこれらの思いなのだ。神は、与えられた導きによって、人々に自分の未来を見せているだけなのだ。否定的な考えに基づいて行動するとき、これは彼ら自身の魂がすることなのだ。 このような人々が、神から与えられた導きを理解したとき、病気を治すために、またおふでさきの教えをさらに伝えるために、私たちの礼拝所にやってくるのです。  こうして魂の教えを広めていくのです。
まとめると、この世に健康と幸福をもたらすのは魂の真理である。私たちはおふでさきを読み、理解しなければなりません。

God to place illness on your body

The question many of us in our religion is, how do we spread God’s teaching to the world. 

 
First we must question what we want to teach to the world. What is God’s truth?
 
The 2nd question is how to spread God’s truth.
 
Fortunately God has given us the answers to both of these questions in the Ofudesaki
 
What does God want us to understand and teach to the world? God tells us in the first verse of the Ofudesaki. We do not understand our own souls! If we understand the soul, we will understand why there is suffering and joy in the world. Please read my other post to understand the soul, and what it does. We must teach people about their own soul.
 
How to we spread the truth of the soul. If I told you that I will pray to have God place illness on your body. What would you think? You would think I was evil, and a monster to even think about doing this.  But this is actually what we are doing when we perform the Youki-tsutome. We are asking God to place illness, depending on the negative thoughts in the mind, to convince people what their own souls do. It is these negative thoughts that we act upon, that creates our fates that our own souls collect and eventually manifest back to us as suffering.  God is showing us our future by these illnesses if we do not remove our negative thoughts.  I believe it will take conviction for us to tell people that God will place illness on their bodies. But this is what we must do to spread God’s teachings of the soul.
 
To the poeple I believe are kara, who refuse to believe in the soul, I should  pray with the Youki-tsutome that God will place guidance on your bodies. But because I have not completely purified my own mind, my prayers will not be accepted by God. But for those who have purified their minds by understanding their own souls, spread the teachings of the soul, and perform the Youki-tsutome, God promises that God will bring these people to your places of worship to heal them of their illness and further inform them of the soul to attain health and happiness.  Again we must tell people God will place illness on their bodies. This will take much courage and conviction. But God promises that these blessing of guidance will occur to spread the teaching of the soul. 
 
 
まず、私たちは世に何を教えたいのかを問わねばならない。神の真理とは何か?
第二の問いは、神の真理をどのように広めるかということだ。
幸いなことに、神はおふでさきの中で、これら二つの質問に対する答えを私たちに与えておられる。
神は私たちに何を理解し、世に教えることを望んでおられるのでしょうか?神様はおふでさきの最初の節で私たちに教えています。私たちは自分の魂を理解していない!魂を理解すれば、なぜこの世に苦しみと喜びがあるのかがわかる。魂について、そして魂が何をするのかを理解するには、私の別の記事を読んでください。私たちは自分の魂について人々に教えなければなりません。
魂の真理を広めるにはどうすればいいのか。もし私があなたに、神があなたの体に病気を置くように祈ると言ったら。あなたはどう思うだろうか?私が邪悪で、こんなことをしようと考えるなんて怪物だと思うでしょう。 しかし、Youki-tsutome を行うとき、私たちが行っているのは実はこれなのです。私たちは、心の中にある否定的な思いによって、自分の魂がすることを人々に納得させるために、神様に病気を置くようにお願いしているのです。私たちが行動するこれらの否定的な思いこそが、私たち自身の魂が集め、最終的に苦しみとして私たちに戻って現れる運命を作り出すのです。 もし私たちが否定的な考えを取り除かなければ、神はこれらの病気によって私たちの未来を示しているのだ。 神が私たちの体に病気を負わせることを人々に伝えるには、確信が必要だと思う。しかし、これが神の魂の教えを広めるために私たちがしなければならないことなのです。
魂を信じようとしない kara と思われる人々に、私は Youki-tsutomeと共に、神があなた方の肉体に導きを置いてくださるよう祈らなければならない。しかし、私は自分の心を完全に浄化していないので、私の祈りは神に受け入れられないだろう。しかし、自分の魂を理解することによって心を清め、魂の教えを広め、幽気通滅を行った人には、神がその人たちをあなたの礼拝所に連れてきて、病気を癒し、さらに健康と幸福を得るために魂のことを知らせてくれると約束されている。 ここでもまた、神が彼らの体に病気をつけることを伝えなければならない。これには勇気と確信が必要だ。しかし神は、魂の教えを広めるために、このような導きの祝福が起こると約束しておられる。
A pergunta que muitos de nós fazemos em nossa religião é: como divulgamos os ensinamentos de Deus para o mundo?
Primeiro, devemos nos perguntar o que queremos ensinar ao mundo. Qual é a verdade de Deus?
A segunda pergunta é como divulgar a verdade de Deus.
Felizmente, Deus nos deu as respostas para essas duas perguntas no Ofudesaki
O que Deus quer que entendamos e ensinemos ao mundo? Deus nos diz no primeiro versículo do Ofudesaki. Nós não entendemos nossas próprias almas! Se entendermos a alma, entenderemos por que há sofrimento e alegria no mundo. Por favor, leia minha outra postagem para entender a alma e o que ela faz. Devemos ensinar as pessoas sobre sua própria alma.
Como divulgar a verdade sobre a alma? Se eu lhe dissesse que vou orar para que Deus coloque uma doença em seu corpo, o que você acharia? O que você pensaria? Você pensaria que eu sou mau e um monstro por pensar em fazer isso.  Mas, na verdade, é isso que estamos fazendo quando realizamos o Youki-tsutome. Estamos pedindo a Deus que coloque a doença, dependendo dos pensamentos negativos na mente, para convencer as pessoas do que suas próprias almas fazem. São esses pensamentos negativos que agimos, que criam nossos destinos que nossas próprias almas coletam e, por fim, manifestam de volta para nós como sofrimento.  Deus está nos mostrando nosso futuro por meio dessas doenças se não removermos nossos pensamentos negativos.  Acredito que será preciso convicção para dizermos às pessoas que Deus colocará doenças em seus corpos. Mas é isso que devemos fazer para divulgar os ensinamentos de Deus sobre a alma.
Para as pessoas que acredito serem kara, que se recusam a acreditar na alma, eu deveria orar com o Youki-tsutome para que Deus coloque orientação em seus corpos. Mas como não purifiquei completamente minha mente, minhas orações não serão aceitas por Deus. Mas para aqueles que purificaram suas mentes por meio da compreensão de suas próprias almas, espalharam os ensinamentos da alma e realizaram o Youki-tsutome, Deus promete que trará essas pessoas aos seus locais de adoração para curá-las de suas doenças e informá-las ainda mais sobre a alma para alcançar a saúde e a felicidade.  Novamente, devemos dizer às pessoas que Deus colocará doenças em seus corpos. Isso exigirá muita coragem e convicção. Mas Deus promete que essas bênçãos de orientação ocorrerão para divulgar os ensinamentos da alma.

We must understand the Soul

How important is the Youki-tsutome? In the Ofudesaki, God tells us this is the Service to save the world. Why has God given us this Service to perform?  Because, it is difficult for human beings to understand concepts or teachings that are unfamiliar to them. With this Service, we are asking God to convince the people we have spread God’s teachings to. What are the teachings that will save the world? In the first verse of the Ofudesaki, God tells us we do not understand the “Mune”. What is the mune?  The mune appears to be our own souls. We do not understand the soul, and what it does.  This is what we must understand and spread to the world. With the acceptance of our prayer, God will convince these people we have spread the teaching of the soul.

 
First let me explain what our own soul does. God in the Ofudesaki tells us to ponder what comes from our souls (mune no uchi yori).  It is our own fates that come from our souls.  The soul collects our demerits created by our actions on our negative thoughts, stores them, and eventually manifest them as suffering when the right opportunity presents itself.  The right opportunity to manifest our fates may not appear until the next lifetime. We reap what we have sowed because the soul monitors our behavior.  There is justice because of our own soul. It is not God that causes suffering or joy in the world, it is our own souls that do this.  This is what we must tell people.
 
Does death of the physical body give us a new start, or a clean slate to start over? Is a newborn baby innocent? Our memories are erased when we die, but it is the soul that collects our fates and their associated thoughts, and takes them to our next destination. Death does not cancel our way of thinking and their associated fates.  This is why suffering and joy appear in this world, and why each of us have different amounts of negative thoughts in our minds.
 
Let’s get back to the Youki-tsutome, the prayer to save the world.  With the acceptance of our prayer, God will place illness on the people we have spread the teachings of the soul. The type of illness will be dependent on what type and amount of negative thoughts are in the person’s mind. It is these negative thoughts that we will act upon, and will create the negative fates that come from our own soul . God by these illness is showing them their  future of suffering if they do not remove their negative thoughts.   Some of the people may understand God’s guidance, and will come to our places of worship to be healed by the sazuke, and will be informed of the teachings further.  These are the people that will be convinced of God’s teachings.  This special prayer is the way we spread the teaching of the soul to the world!!!!  God tells us in the Ofudesaki.
 
But why does our religious leaders spend their energies teaching us Services like the Yorozuyo and the 12 dances not mentioned in the Ofudesaki? Why is the majority of our monthly consumed by this Service? Why do they tell us that the Youki-tsutome is a service to ask God to sweep our own negative thoughts?  We do not know what we are praying for.
 
Let me discuss the Yorozuyo and 12 dances created by Oyasama. These dances are an excellent summary of the Ofudesaki. I believe Oyasama created these dances to help the early followers understand God’s teachings. But unfortunately, Church leaders have incorporated this service to perform as a requirement for salvation.  There are church leaders even telling their congregation that they must wear Japanese attire, and perform the dances without any mistakes, for God to give blessings. 
 
Finally, let’s get back to the Youki-tsutome, the Service to save the world. Church leaders are telling us that this Service is asking God to help us sweep our negative thoughts.  But they are wrong.  God has already given us the teaching of the soul to sweep our own minds of negative thoughts.  By understanding the soul, we should be able to sweep our negative thoughts by ourselves.  Remember this Service is not called the Joyous Service (yoki-tsutome). It is call the You-ki-tsutome. Let me explain. Yo(u)) are God’s blessinggs of guidance, and ki are people who we have spread the teachings of the soul. By accepting our prayer, God places yo(u)) on these people (ki) to convince them of the soul.  This is why the prayer is called you-ki-tsutome. This is the prayer that will save the world. 
 
In conclusion, we must read and follow the instructions in the Ofudesaki, if we are to save the world. The teachings are simple, but the human mind always finds ways to make things difficult, like what occurs in most religions, and is now happening in ours. 
 
陽気づとめ」の重要性は?おふでさきの中で、神様はこのおつとめが世 界を救うおつとめであると教えておられます。なぜ神様は私たちにこのおつとめをお与えになったのでしょうか。 なぜなら、人間にとって馴染みのない概念や教えを理解することは難しいからです。この奉仕によって、私たちは神の教えを広めた人々に納得してもらえるよう、神にお願いしているのです。世界を救う教えとは?おふでさきの最初の節で、神様は私たちが「むね」を理解していないことを教えておられます。ムネとは何か。 ムネとは、私たち自身の魂のようです。私たちは魂というものを理解していない。 このことを私たちは理解し、世界に広めなければならない。私たちの祈りが受け入れられることで、神は私たちが魂の教えを広めたことをこれらの人々に納得させるだろう。
まず、自分の魂が何をするのかを説明しよう。おふでさきの神様は、私たちの魂から生まれるもの(むねのうちより)について考えなさいとおっしゃいます。 私たちの魂から生まれるのは、私たち自身の運命です。 魂は、私たちの否定的な思いに基づく行動によって生じた私たちのデメリットを集め、蓄積し、やがて適切な機会が訪れたときに苦しみとして顕在化させる。 私たちの運命を顕在化させる適切な機会は、次の生涯まで現れないかもしれない。私たちが蒔いた種を刈り取るのは、魂が私たちの行動を監視しているからだ。 正義があるのは、私たち自身の魂のおかげなのだ。世界に苦しみや喜びをもたらすのは神ではなく、私たち自身の魂なのです。 このことを人々に伝えなければならない。
肉体の死は、私たちに新たなスタートを与えるのか、あるいはやり直すための白紙に戻すのか?生まれたばかりの赤ちゃんに罪はないのか?私たちの記憶は死ぬと消去されるが、私たちの運命とそれに関連する思考を集め、次の目的地へと運ぶのは魂である。死が私たちの考え方やそれに関連する運命を取り消すことはない。 これが、この世に苦しみと喜びが現れる理由であり、私たち一人ひとりの心の中にあるネガティブな思考の量が異なる理由なのだ。
世界を救うための祈りである「遊気止観」に戻ろう。 私たちの祈りが受け入れられると、神は魂の教えを広めた人々に病を与える。病気の種類は、その人の kokoro (mind)の中にある否定的な思いの種類と量によります。私たちが行動するのは、これらの否定的な思いであり、私たち自身の魂から来る否定的な運命を生み出すのだ。このような病気によって神は、もし彼らが否定的な思考を取り除かなければ、苦しみに見舞われる未来を示しているのだ。  中には、神の導きを理解し、さづけによって癒されるために礼拝所を訪れ、さらに教えを知らされる人もいるだろう。 そのような人々が神の教えに納得するのです。 この特別な祈りが、魂の教えを世界に広める方法なのです!!! と、神はおふでさきで教えている。
しかし、なぜ私たちの宗教指導者たちは、おふでさきに書かれていない「よろづよ」や「12の踊り」のような奉仕を私たちに教えることにエネルギーを費やすのでしょうか?なぜ月の大半をこのおつとめに費やすのか。なぜ、「陽気づとめ」は神様に自分のマイナス思考を一掃してもらうためのおつとめだと言うのでしょうか。 何を祈っているのかわからない。
Oyasama が創作した「よろづよ」と12の舞について説明しよう。これらの踊りは、おふでさきの優れた要約です。Oyasama は、初期の信者たちが神の教えを理解するのを助けるために、これらの踊りを創ったのだと思います。しかし残念なことに、教会の指導者たちは、このおつとめをおたすけの条件として取り入れています。 和服を着て、間違いのない踊りを披露しなければ、神のご加護は得られないとまで言う教会指導者がいるのです。
最後に、「世界を救うおつとめ」の話に戻ろう。教会の指導者たちは、このおつとめは私たちの否定的な考えを一掃してくれるよう神にお願いするものだと言っている。 しかし、それは間違っている。 神はすでに、私たち自身のkokoro(minds) の否定的な思いを一掃するために、魂の教えを与えてくださっている。 魂を理解することで、私たちは自分で否定的な考えを一掃できるようになるはずです。 このおつとめは、(yoki) のおつとめ (よきつとめ)とは呼ばれないことを忘れないでください。 それは「You-ki-tsutome」である。説明しよう。ヨウ(u))とは神の導きの加護であり、キとは魂の教えを広めた人々である。私たちの祈りを受け入れることで、神はこれらの人々(キ)に魂を納得させるためにヨウ(ウ))を置く。 この祈りが you-ki-tsutomeと呼ばれる所以である。これが世界を救う祈りである。
結論として、世界を救うためには、おふでさきの教えを読み、それに従わなければならない。教えはシンプルだが、人間のkokoro (mind)は常に物事を難しくする方法を見つける。
Qual é a importância do Youki-tsutome? No Ofudesaki, Deus nos diz que esse é o Serviço para salvar o mundo. Por que Deus nos deu esse Serviço para realizarmos?  Porque é difícil para os seres humanos entenderem conceitos ou ensinamentos que não lhes são familiares. Com esse Serviço, estamos pedindo a Deus que convença as pessoas a quem divulgamos os ensinamentos de Deus. Quais são os ensinamentos que salvarão o mundo? No primeiro versículo do Ofudesaki, Deus nos diz que não entendemos o “Mune”. O que é o mune?  O mune parece ser a nossa própria alma. Não entendemos a alma (soul) e o que ela faz.  É isso que devemos entender e divulgar para o mundo. Com a aceitação de nossa oração, Deus convencerá essas pessoas de que divulgamos o ensinamento da alma(soul).
Primeiro, deixe-me explicar o que a nossa própria alma faz. No Ofudesaki, Deus nos diz para refletirmos sobre o que vem de nossas almas (mune no uchi yori).  São os nossos próprios destinos que vêm de nossas almas(soul).  A alma(soul) coleta nossos deméritos criados por nossas ações em nossos pensamentos negativos, armazena-os e, por fim, manifesta-os como sofrimento quando a oportunidade certa se apresenta.  A oportunidade certa para manifestar nossos destinos pode não aparecer até a próxima vida. Colhemos o que plantamos porque a alma monitora nosso comportamento.  Existe justiça por causa de nossa própria alma(soul). Não é Deus que causa sofrimento ou alegria no mundo, é a nossa própria alma que faz isso.  É isso que devemos dizer às pessoas.
A morte do corpo físico nos dá um novo começo, ou uma lousa limpa para recomeçar? Um bebê recém-nascido é inocente? Nossas memórias são apagadas quando morremos, mas é a alma (Soul) que coleta nossos destinos e seus pensamentos associados e os leva para o próximo destino. A morte não cancela nossa maneira de pensar e seus destinos associados.  É por isso que o sofrimento e a alegria aparecem neste mundo e que cada um de nós tem quantidades diferentes de pensamentos negativos em nossa mente.
Vamos voltar ao Youki-tsutome, a oração para salvar o mundo.  Com a aceitação de nossa oração, Deus colocará doenças nas pessoas que espalharam os ensinamentos da alma (soul). O tipo de doença dependerá do tipo e da quantidade de pensamentos negativos que estiverem na mente da pessoa. É sobre esses pensamentos negativos que agiremos e criaremos os destinos negativos que vêm de nossa própria alma(soul). Deus, por meio dessa doença, está lhes mostrando o futuro de sofrimento que terão se não removerem seus pensamentos negativos.   Algumas das pessoas podem entender a orientação de Deus e virão aos nossos locais de adoração para serem curadas pelo sazuke e serão informadas sobre os ensinamentos adicionais.  Essas são as pessoas que serão convencidas dos ensinamentos de Deus.  Essa oração especial é a maneira pela qual divulgamos os ensinamentos da alma(soul) para o mundo!!!!  Deus nos diz no Ofudesaki.
Mas por que nossos líderes religiosos gastam suas energias nos ensinando serviços como o Yorozuyo e as 12 danças não mencionadas no Ofudesaki? Por que a maior parte de nosso mês é consumida por esse serviço? Por que eles nos dizem que o Youki-tsutome é um serviço para pedir a Deus que varra nossos próprios pensamentos negativos?  Não sabemos pelo que estamos orando.
Vou falar sobre o Yorozuyo e as 12 danças criadas por Oyasama. Essas danças são um excelente resumo do Ofudesaki. Acredito que Oyasamacriou essas danças para ajudar os primeiros seguidores a entender os ensinamentos de Deus. Mas, infelizmente, os líderes da Igreja incorporaram esse serviço como um requisito para a salvação.  Há líderes de igrejas que até dizem à sua congregação que eles devem usar trajes japoneses e executar as danças sem nenhum erro para que Deus os abençoe.
Por fim, vamos voltar ao Youki-tsutome, o Serviço para salvar o mundo. Os líderes da Igreja estão nos dizendo que esse Serviço é para pedir a Deus que nos ajude a varrer nossos pensamentos negativos.  Mas eles estão errados.  Deus já nos deu o ensinamento da alma para varrermos os pensamentos negativos de nossa própria mente.  Ao compreender a alma(soul), devemos ser capazes de varrer nossos pensamentos negativos por nós mesmos.  Lembre-se de que esse Serviço não é chamado de Serviço Alegre (yoki-tsutome). Ele é chamado de You-ki-tsutome. Deixe-me explicar. Yo(u)) são as bênçãos de orientação de Deus, e ki são as pessoas que difundimos os ensinamentos da alma. Ao aceitar nossa oração, Deus coloca yo(u)) sobre essas pessoas (ki) para convencê-las da alma(soul).  É por isso que a oração é chamada de you-ki-tsutome. Essa é a oração que salvará o mundo.
Em conclusão, devemos ler e seguir as instruções do Ofudesaki se quisermos salvar o mundo. Os ensinamentos são simples, mas a mente humana sempre encontra maneiras de dificultar as coisas, como ocorre na maioria das religiões, e agora está acontecendo na nossa.

OFUDESAKI 17-44

Interpretation:
The appointed time is when Oyasama passes away, to return to the Original place of human creation, where the temporary Kanrodai is located. This is when our prayer, Youki-tsutome will become effective, in saving the world.

その時とは Oyasama がこの世を去り、仮のカンロダイ(Kanroudai) がいる人類創造の原初の場所に戻る時である。 この時こそ、私たちの祈りである「陽気づとめ」が世界を救うために効力を発揮する時である。

A hora marcada é quando Oyasama falece, para retornar ao local original da criação humana, onde se encontra o Kanrodai temporário. É nesse momento que a nossa oração, Youki-tsutome, se tornará eficaz para salvar o mundo.
