Building a new country

Usually I have difficulty sleeping well in a hotel room, but I slept fast in Kyoto as if I were in my bed room. I recalled how I rejoiced, going to my Mind-scape exhibition in May as if it were my routine work, which was the beginning of the series of events that followed and ended last night with the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert. This was also my last concert in Japan this year. I realized the reason why I felt happy from the beginning in Kyoto. I had anticipated several events would happen and now I wanted to thank greatly from the bottom of my heart everything that led them to end with big success. From the day before yesterday I have been nervous, as there was an extraordinary tension like in a battle field. I examined my behavior and spoke little to be ready for something big to happen. I cleaned my hotel room so that I would never bother anybody even though I might not ever return . As I wanted to do everything I cared before leaving my hotel room, I made a phone call to the chief monk of Koguryo temple whom I had met by chance at the temple. His voice on the phone asked me who I was and I replied I was the descendant of Koguryo’s royal family. Then he asked me what ceremony I had that day, and I said that all the souls of Koguryo kings and people were going to be resurrected. I was happy to be able to tell him directly. And he came all the way to see my performance, though he was in a remote place. Ever since I saw a large screen video of Omnokwang river and Jian city on the 17th August, the atmosphere of Koguryo’s land and pleasant winds were perpetuated in my heart. And also I could hear king Jakou telling me that every Koguryo person who took refuge in Japan swore to return to his or her home land. I could pay a visit to Koguryo’s original place but I have not yet achieved the deepest wish of my ancestors, that was to realize a peaceful society. I was fully awakened to my mission and all Koguryo’s souls were revived to work all together. This is like building a new country. Everything I express at the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert was reality though people living in a modern society did not easily understand. The world far beyond Heaven was manifested and I could live my life true to it. At today’s concert Mr. Idaki Shin started by playing the Japanese drums and called on divine powers. I looked within my heart and I saw an arrow of heavenly light. I started to narrate my poems. I felt the presence of divine light until the end of the concert. I sweated a lot and found the resurrection of everybody, king Jakou, king Choju, troops of Koguryo, lovely princess in sorrow, Ryuka, king Kotai and king Tomei. I marveled at how perfectly Mr. Idaki Shin could express their essential energy. I could even hear the tread of horses when I was reading a poem on king Kotai’s troop. I felt as if the world of ancient Koguryo as a whole was revived. I myself was deeply moved. When history all over the world would be expressed likewise, everybody on earth would awaken to the truth.
