Life

The way from Okayama to Fukuoka rained cats and dogs that made me experience the arrival of a new era where humankind was unified with life in nature. I recalled that when I had visited Ethiopia for the first time, a ferocious storm forced us to surrender to the rain. Like today, I had realized that human beings could do nothing but follow the dynamism of nature. As I closed my eyes the artificially built social system that was designed to control people by dividing human activities into narrow sections. Originally human life was a part of nature and was connected to the universe. When I had encountered Mr. Idaki Shin about thirty years ago I was supposed to die because of an illness within two months and he made me realize for the first time in my life that I had been in the wrong as I took it for granted that I could never identify the cause of my illness by myself or discover a way to recovery. To my great surprise, he said that a human being was originally capable of understanding what was happening within one’s own life, acknowledging the cause of the problem and realizing how one should live to cope with it. I decided to tune myself to what he said and after having listened to his music that expressed my state of life, finally I came to realize that the demand of my life could be expressed in words as if the core of my life were directly talking about the natural work of life. Then I realized that everybody’s life was interconnected to each other’s and as long as we would always remain true to the true demand of life and keep on expressing it in our life one could manifest one’s own potentials to the full and live a brilliantly shining life without oppressing other people’s life. We did not need to observe our ability or endure a negative situation for fear of offending another person. We could live in harmony with everybody else and live a vigorous life in this way. I realized the principles of human life. Now that the situation of the world was demanding that every people on earth should live in harmony with nature, otherwise we could not open up our future. Like this, the ferocious storm on the way to Fukuoka was very meaningful for my life. Our new era was an authentic era of life.
