Having resolved to move forward anew from today, I declared to everyone that I would move freely. Yet a pain that surfaced in my lower back which took me by surprise made it difficult for me to move. However, I understand that the lower back is the very core of movement. It was telling me that the patterns of my movement until now have become constraints to initiating new movement. Even so, I decided to go out today, and to express my deepest wish to convey “IDAKI.” As fortunately I hold video lectures on the KEIKO KOMA Channel, I headed to a recording. To express a life lived the “IDAKI” way is, above all, itself a profound joy in life. I feel that not only those who listen to the KEIKO KOMA Channel, but even souls are listening. And as life transmits and receives, I have come to understand through experience that what is expressed spreads into space and is conveyed onward. Knowing that expression is the most effective way to transform the surrounding situation, I engage in these video lectures with deep gratitude for the opportunity.
Although I often suffer from being burdened by the energies that stir within space, this has been my constitution since childhood, and I continually reflect on how to resolve what I have absorbed. Whenever I become aware of various things occurring in the world, I realize that the source of suffering I have absorbed is created by human beings. As the inner state of human beings shapes the environment, when people live in conditions that place a burden on life, the surrounding space itself becomes imbued with such energy. I have come to understand more clearly that this is what I am sensing. Therefore, if I can change situations through my own expression, then the many occurrences unfolding outside may also be changed. I feel deeply grateful for this possibility. I intend to devote myself to expressing energies I absorb and to generating expressions that transform them. Recently I have felt that I can do it, which makes me happy. I have always felt that there is something I can do while being in Japan, and I am truly grateful to be able to live in this way. Today as well, I spent the day praying that conflicts may come to an end as soon as possible. Thank you.
