Creating our country
I watched in my room the DVD of the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert held in Kyoto. A passage from my poem “At Asuka” greatly moved my heart as it said that people met others in order to share the spirituality for building a country. I considered this poem as a guidance for my activities for the recovery of Japan after the disaster. Today there was held the second day of the Idaki Shin counseling courses when I identified and verbalized the negative destiny inherited within each participant’s life. This was a very painful work. However when I looked at photo panels of Koguryo displayed all over the wall of our Kyoto office I became vigorous and filled with energy to create a new country. My photos taken at the first palace of king Tomei encouraged me and made me hopeful while another photo of mine sitting at the surveillance spot of clouds and sky on top of Mt. Gojo made me smile as I personally named this photo king Tomei. My staff who accompanied me to Mt. Gojo often said that in Mt. Gojo, I looked like somebody else who was an extremely happy and friendly person like a pure child. In front of me, there was another one of leaves of trees and the fortification wall of Wandu castle city that remained unexcavated and untouched since one thousand nine hundred years ago. I was embraced by a purifying air as if I were actually there right now and blown by winds. The photos of snow-covered Mt. Gojo especially attracted me as I envisioned that king Tomei was walking on top of the fortification wall and approaching us. Everything manifested the energy of people who had built a new dynasty in ancient times out of nothing as they wished to create a space for everybody to live on in happiness. As I knew very well that each person’s internal state of life was the cause of any outer circumstances, we could create a marvelous society by changing our internality. In this respect the Idaki counseling courses were designed to liberate people from burdens of past history, stop a mere repetition of the past, discover the true nature of life, and realize a country that allowed people to develop and manifest one’s inner potentials to the full. The photo panels of Koguryo and today’s piano music played by Mr. Idaki Shin at his counseling courses made me acknowledge that our Idaki activities were the source for rebuilding our country.
