The Influence of Love
Today I talked over coffee at a patisserie with Ai, the younger daughter of Mr. Idaki Shin. When we came back home after seeing off Emi at Narita airport, we could not resist weeping. I remember how sad I was at the death of my mother. I could not even breathe properly. I knew it was useless trying to hide my emotion, so I accepted fully how sad I was. Then we continued talking to each other. While Emi set forth to the future, we were encouraged to go forward towards the same destination. Ai told me that she and Emi had a long conversation after my lecture event the other day, and talked about what was the most important principle in their lives. I believe that the era of love has come, however, people around are still envious, judge from appearances, compare with their own lives and tolerate those who are living a truly happy life. Everybody knows that an envious mind only does harm and is useless, however sadly enough I often come across people damaged by an act conducted out of envy. Until quite recently I was also captured by a bad idea and was controlled by outer forces that were oppressing my nature, and my right arm was damaged and aching constantly. The pains in my right hand started two years ago when I drew a big textile work trying to express what I envisioned at an holy site in Syria. The perpetual pains bothered my activities very much until we realized an intensive series of events last month, the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert on the 12th of May, Messages of Mother Earth event held on my birthday, two Idaki Shin concerts and an exposition of my artworks in Kyoto. We managed to conduct all of them with great success, and wiped away negative influences of controlling power in our society. I realized that the dimension of the world has changed to a new one. I became able to speak straight forward in my lecture event and could tell about many subjects that I dared not speak of in public before. Since the Messages of Mother Earth concert in Suginami, the last event held in May, I started to shed tears quite often. Actually I am writing this letter with tearful eyes. I believe the time has come when we are allowed freely to express love. I am grateful to Ai because she made me aware of the direction to follow. The human society that sacrificed the lives of people will be over, and we will create a new society by way of true love that allows people to shine brilliantly from their internality and live happy lives. We will keep on moving dynamically. We decided to hold an extra concert in Kyoto on the 4th August as the one on the 10th July was sold out. Today I am happy to report to you that our website in Spanish will be available. We are also preparing our website in Arabic, Persian and French. A person I met in my exposition in Kyoto encouraged me, saying that there are surely people waiting for information on our activities as far as we will keep on delivering messages. I am totally of the same opinion. We can not express love too much. Now is the time for all of us to manifest our deepest wishes and to realize global peace.
