It was morning on Mt. Hiei when the sound of the wind sounded like ripples on the water. I heard a message from the sea, and as I listened to the sound of the wind, which felt as though souls were surging towards me, I felt that the time had come to create a new world together with every soul in the world unified as one. Today, two lectures by Master Idaki Shin were held at the Idaki Kyoto Office. One was “Ontology.” Although we are living in a difficult era, and also because it is an era of crisis, I understand that there is no way to survive other than by creating a new world. Therefore, by clarifying our existence, we can truly open up a new era.
In the Idaki Applied Course, while it may seem natural to consider why it is necessary to reconnect with the body, we keenly realize that modern people have forgotten their bodies. As Master Idaki Shin expresses it, they have “left the body behind,” and I feel deeply that prioritizing one’s own thoughts and acting accordingly has brought us to our limits. Because I can see the unseen world, these days I can see that eventually one will decline since it is impossible to live with the body left behind. Lately, I have been feeling more strongly than ever with my body that now is the time to regain one’s body and face and live our lives seriously. At today's lecture, I was able to nurture the mind and body I need to carry on with life, and I found joy in a way of living that allows me to move forward. Lately, I am constantly filled with the desire to let the world know more about the existence and work of Master Idaki Shin, who always expresses what is necessary at the risk of his life. As the world is facing a crisis, I desire from the bottom of my heart to convey that the path to the fundamental solution exists here.
　I intend to forge a new way forward, following the movement of my own body. Tomorrow, I will be holding “Keiko Koma: My Life Story” at Koma Gallery Café, located right beneath the Yasaka Pagoda in Kyoto. I am grateful for the invaluable opportunity to share with the world what it means to live with Idaki. I look forward to welcoming everyone. Thank you very much.
