Gratitude to life

When I woke up in the morning, mountains around Kyoto were shining brilliantly though it was cloudy. Their holy countenances touched my heart directly and I felt that all nature, trees and Mother Earth were blessing today’s Idaki Shin concert. I also envisioned at the river side of Kamogawa the presence of my father who had passed away many years ago. The concert turned out to commemorate another turning point in my life.
In part one of the concert I felt strong pains in my heart and realized a gathering of many souls that had been considered throughout human history as dangerous spirits obsessed with what happened in the past. Mr. Idaki Shin had led them to a vast cosmic space and my pains started to go away. I closely followed this process and finally the deepest door in my mind was opened for the first time and to my great wonder there I have encountered a holy soul that was unified with divine beings. In part two, indeed I realized the presence of Japanese gods and goddess who had always been with me at the core of my life under any circumstances. I was embraced by extremely gentle breezes that connected my life with a vast universal space. Out of deepest gratitude to the holy mechanism of life I thanked my heart many times while I listened to the sound of the piano. Towards the end of the concert, I felt the manifestation of my true self that has been hidden in the depth of my heart. Then I acknowledged that there were still many things that I had considered as right but in reality were oppressing my life. I could see a new path that showed me a state of consciousness unified with the flow of life. I rejoiced as I realized the arrival of a truly new era of humankind. Mr. Idaki Shin allowed us to become awakened to the nature of life so as to change the entire world. About a year ago I improvised a poem about how people living in our modern society mistook the proper function of human consciousness and were living strange lives up side down. I recalled this was a message by Sarutahiko shrine in Kyoto. Last year together with Mr. Idaki Shin, we made several events out of my poetic readings and on the occasion of one of them, he said that a slightest light of hope was seen for the first time in Kyoto.
So now every step taken in Kyoto bore fruit at today’s concert in close collaboration with numerous souls buried deep under the ground. We realized the beginning of a truly new world true to the nature of human life.
