Today was the final Applied Course of the year in Tokyo with Master Idaki Shin. While everything in December marks the end of this year, I felt there is no greater happiness than being able to be present in the space of Master Idaki Shin’s lectures—where life is embraced by light, healed, brought to peace, filled with love, and enriched in every way. As I had a severe headache today, I went there perplexed, thinking about the cause. Master Idaki Shin’s piano performance and his talk felt as though light was being poured into my life. As I listened to the themes of “玄” (gen) and “玄牝” (genpin), my headache gradually disappeared. Then, I began to hear the voice of life within. It gently and quietly taught me that living while damaging my life goes against the true workings of life. With tears, I reflected deeply and felt a renewed determination to cherish life and live true to life itself. I genuinely want to live naturally, in accordance with my life and my deep wishes. I sense that time has finally come when such a way of living is possible. I have long been aware that I constantly tense myself in response to the outside world, tightening my body and causing myself harm, but I had no way to change it. Today my entire body was in pain, and my headache intensified, yet I felt that I am finally reaching the moment when I can break free. Since tomorrow is the Entrepreneur Salon, I believe I am currently undergoing a process in which unresolved matters are surfacing from within so they may be released. The forms forced from outside and the frameworks and forms I imposed upon myself are beginning to break apart. I am reclaiming a soul that can soar freely throughout the great universe. I'm truly looking forward to tomorrow’s Entrepreneur Salon, and I will attend with the wish to discover guidance for the coming year. Thank you.
