Source of vigor and energy
It was a sunny day and a lovely sun beam echoed to my cheerful heart as if I were already in April. As soon as I got out of my home with a light cloth, I realized that it was still chilly so I went back in haste to pick up a coat and drove to Komae to attend a monthly lecture by Mr. Idaki Shin. My staff filmed my video message after the lecture and without consciousness, I said again mistakenly that it was April. As to the lecture, he had started by playing the piano, and by listening to it, many new and practical ideas came into my mind. Then he talked about how he had investigated the original function of language in human life. He said that he tried his best to assimilate himself to the very first person who had uttered human words as rich verbal expressions must have proceeded to a written language and that person must have realized that verbalization of some words resonated marvelously with his inner organs and made better his physical condition. Human language was born out of the core of life. Words, thoughts and actions had never contradicted each other as they were an integral part of life. Also he explained to us that in our modern world, one considered that one’s own talent and potential needed to be guided or oriented by someone else or an educational institution. So many participants to his concert or to his counseling courses thought that he was the person who did it. However, what he did was to communicate with their most vigorous and pure energy of life, and spontaneously each person’s inner potential manifested itself. He said how easily one would be captured by a subject and slave relationship if the subjectivity of one person belonged to the other. As long as there was somebody who guided another person, that person was not free at all. This story made me correct my own expressions about the meaning of his concert as ones that I used were influenced by the frame of a educational system. I acknowledged also that his counseling courses had liberated me from negative influences derived from past history, so when I faced the miserable situation of the world, I acknowledged the deepest wishes born out of love, and became more vigorous, and competent to carry on activities that could give a fundamental solution. Meanwhile, if I had not taken his counseling courses, I would have been motivated to do something reacting to sadness and grievances, therefore, my motive should have always been perpetuated by negative things and I remained a slave to them. This mechanism was the reason why I felt like sacrificing myself when I was about to do something good against the misery of the world. Now I realized that a person who would change the world and solve the accumulating problems had to live a vigorous and healthy life. Mr. Idaki Shin has never controlled other people. In this respect Idaki activities for peace were completely different from any other existing ones. The Idaki space was the source of vigor and energy to carry on our mission to change the world and we would keep on succeeding in our actual society.
