Hope

I have waited till the 4th of January to send direct mail about the coming two days’ special concert. Many people came to help send it. During the New Year holidays I kept on making art works as I did not feel like taking a rest. And today I held a video screening of our Messages from Mother Earth concert held last month in Aomori at Cafe Akira which soon became over-crowded. I felt as if I were on stage and my inner feeling responded vividly to the guitar played by Mr. Idaki Shin that thoroughly refreshed and purified me like clear streams of water in Aomori. Just by listening to a song for my poem entitled Bouka “ dreaming flower” I shed tears. The first line of the poem echoed to my heart for a home country. I sensed that numerous souls joined us and were deeply touched by his music. I felt grateful to have a space like Café Akira that provided us with the precious and unique experience of understanding more of the meaning of our concert in Aomori. 
When I returned home, a new photo panel of Lebanese cedar trees had been delivered. I was amazed at it and hailed my voice as it invited holy winds to my room. The other photo panel that I called father of Koguryo looked more appealing and meaningful than it did yesterday. I am happy to be surrounded by a wonderful atmosphere owing to Mr. Idaki Shin’s photo panels. They are precious treasures for my life as they always impressed me greatly and made me vigorous. 
At the Idaki counseling courses held today, we talked about each participant’s way of spending money. Mr. Idaki Shin said that one had to put the highest priority in things that would contribute to one’s living on. I acknowledged immediately that our concert s and the counseling courses provided a very good example of how one should spend money in the first place. At the Idaki Shin concerts, one can always renew one’s state of life. One realizes that one’s internality makes a big leap to a higher state. Because the outer situations are the result of the internal conditions of a person, when internality is renewed, one is always capable of doing more and new things that one has never thought to do. I have experienced many times how dramatically everything started to move positively the day after his concert. Therefore we do not have to take useless pains. We have to put priority on participating in his concert in order to experience a new state of life that allows us to cope with new things and achieve much more than before. Because our life is one and only, I am extremely grateful to the Idaki activities that teach me many important things and make me endlessly develop my inner potential. I sincerely wish that as many people as possible will come to know about us and come to take the Idaki counseling courses and/or participate in our concerts. After the concert held in Armenia, what I called the world three stages before the Big Bang manifested itself on earth, so our concert would become more influential than ever. As you see in the recent letter from Mr. Nehme Badawi, I was extremely happy to know that his incurable pains from his mother’s assassinated death were nursed at one of our concerts in Lebanon. The beautiful stream of the music by Mr. Idaki Shin wiped away his tear drops for the first time in his life. His story encouraged me greatly and was  indeed a big hope for realizing global peace.
