A way of life that manifested one’s internality

 

I recalled that it was when I was in Kyoto that I watched news that reported the start of bombing Lebanon by the Israeli army. I drove back to Tokyo in a hurry and wished to fly to Lebanon. I prayed for the safety of my friends whom I considered as my family members and inquired about them. To my relief all of my friends were fine, however the enormous amount of sacrifice tore apart my heart with pains. Then as I was motivated to do anything I could I started to create what I called mind-scape art works following a message I had received in my night dream. In Japan we had the tradition to manufacture something by weaving strings thousands of times as a token of a prayer to protect one’s cherished person who had gone to war. Therefore I wished to create an art work that manifested the beautiful light of life within each person’s internality. While I heard that part of the city of Tyre, of which I was nominated as a permanent and honorable citizen, was destroyed because of the military attack, I was greatly moved to have heard both from Prof. Ghazi and Mr. Mayor of Tyre that buildings might be destroyed by force but their spirituality would never be touched. Like this our souls were unified as one so we could vigorously live on. I kept on expressing the beauty of human internality and our solidarity at heart and created many mind-scape art works. In reality wherever I went on earth my art works made people joyful and opened their heart. These days I started to create my stage costume using the marbling technique as I wished to be surrounded with items expressing the beauty of human internality. My new marbling shirts made for men looked wonderful as I put lined stones on the patterns dyed out of marbling. A lovely aroma of the future excited my heart when I was making them. Each marbling design was unique in the world so that the unique nature of each person, indifferent to men or women, and their authentic beauty would be manifested. At the coming Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert to be held in the middle of August I would put on a costume designed by Prof, Ghazi and fabricated in Syria years ago. I added on its surface my mind-scape drawings modifying the logo design of my name in Arabic as a sign of our unity at heart with people in the Middle East countries. I sincerely wished that our concert would open up a glorious future all at once. While Mr. Idaki Shin would hold another big concert on the 15th of August in Kyoto, the memorial day of the end of the last world war, we considered that we would try to save souls of victims of war all over the world. In this respect these days I always try to correct myself and develop my potentials as this was a truly great mission to do. As I knew that the influence of the Idaki Shin concert was global, I would do everything to make our concert a great success. This was a very natural thing for a human being.
