This is Kohanbito as Lake Man.
In the previous article#3, in order to let you live your life without regret, I recommended you to face yourself alone first and then I also recommended you to set your goal in the rest of your life. And I said that it will enrich your life. And I also mentioned that goal you set should be reviewed and amended often to make them appropriate to your ability.
And also I revealed my 7 objects in the article #3. And there I also said that the most important object among my 7 objects is “Object (1): Always try to have and keep the right mental attitude and live with them intentionally.”
This time, I would like to explain you the reason why I think “Object (1): Always try to have and keep the right mental attitude and live with them intentionally” is the most important object to me.
(1) Why “Object (1): Always try to have and keep the right mental attitude and live with them intentionally” is the most important object?
Actually, if I put it simple, even if you try hard to achieve some specific objects in your life, sometime, suddenly your death comes and then you will leave this world. Such a tragedy could happen to anyone anytime. And if you have to leave this world without accomplishment of such specific goals, then there will be some sense of dissatisfaction remains, and it may bother your sprit to go back to the spiritual world smooth. If your spirit is keep hanging around your house and hanging around your family or this world and if your spirit keeps blaming that you did not want to die without accomplishment of your dream, then your spirit may look like what we call “Ghost”. That is not healthy condition. It is not good for your family and it is not good for yourself if you keep hanging around and blaming in this world. You should go straight to the heaven (or hell) instead.
So, from that point of view, I think it is better for you to set your goal to be more like how to manage your thought or your mind or your mental attitude in your daily life rather than achieving specific goals. By that, you may be able to avoid to become unhappy ghost who is always complaining and hanging around in the world.
The most important thing in the object setting process is to let you satisfy with your life, so, from that point of view, setting your goal as how to manage your mental attitude in your daily life is more suitable rather than achieving specific goal.
Even though I say your goal should be more about management of your mental attitude rather than achieving specific goals, but I may say, it is OK to let you have specific smaller goals as second priority. And if you could achieve such smaller goals in the process, then that is simply wonderful thing, and you should be pleased with it. That is fine you should enjoy achieving such smaller goals but I would say, the first priority in your goal setting should be more about management of mental attitude rather than specific ones.
Like Ryouma Sakamoto who was the hero of Meiji revolution who said that “I was born to achieve important things”, I know there are some special guys who were sent from HQ of heavenly world above as a missionary of god, and I know we have been calling them “Angels” We know that.
Those guys are supposed to achieve their specific missions to change the direction of this world, so that their missions have to be achieved without failures because it is the order from God. Failure for them are not accepted by HQ of heaven. For those guys, specific mission means everything and requirement but for ordinary people like me, trying to be a good man by controlling your mind in the ordinary life, and if we try our best in that way, then, I think we should consider those lives “good enough”.
(2) It depends on how you see the world (1) – Spiritual way of thinking, world tree (life tree of God)-
Even I say “how to manage your mental attitude in your daily life is important”, you may wonder why I can clearly say such a way of living is important. Why? It is simply I am one of many people who believes that mankind are infinite existence as spirits and we were born in this world many times through reincarnation program in order to brush up our minds in order to become much higher and closer existence to God by gaining deeper understanding about yourself and about mankind and about this world throughout many life experiences in reincarnation. From that point of view, we can say that paying attention to what you think in your dairy life means everything for us. We can say gaining the ability to control you mind itself is the purpose to life in this world. That is why I can conclude that “Object (1): Always try to have and keep the right mental attitude and live with them intentionally” is the most important object among others.
In this world, you gain experience, and brush up your minds, and strengthen your spirits, and when you face your death, you throw out your physical bodies and you just bring such brushed up spirits (or soul) only back to the spiritual world. Your brushed up spirits are only things that you can carry over throughout many life experiences throughout the reincarnation. That is why we can say that “Object (1): Always try to have and keep the right mental attitude and live with them intentionally” is the most important object among others.
By the way, there are “common truth” that I can find out in many different teaching or many different thoughts or religions which I have learned through many books that I read. And according to that, common truth we found are, “we are born in this world many times in order to gain experiences and to learn more about yourself and more about this world to get closer to higher being, God. And then we die and we go back to spiritual world which matches to your state of mind. So, you may go back to the spiritual world called “hell” or you may go back to the spiritual world called “heaven” or you may go back to grey area somewhere in between those two worlds. You may go back to the world based on your tendency of your mind and you will go to where you see many of similar type of spirits like you. And there, you will face yourself by seeing someone like you and you will learn what was wrong with you by seeing similar kind of people and you will feel like to change yourself. Then you can graduate such a world (hell) and you can go back to where you originally belongs to (heaven). After you finish correcting your spirit and after you finish clearing up your mind, then you will finish reset of your karmas and you can again come back to this world based on your spiritual growth plan again.
And here in this world again, you can strengthen your weaker parts, and you can align your twisted part in this world, and you can get very balanced round heart which is close to original shape of soul when your soul were originally given by God. And there are actually much higher being exists in this world besides us. There are not many but we sometimes witness special existences called “angels”. They come to this world in order to change the direction of the world or save people’s spirits. Especially many of them come to this world in the time of change of civilization or change of era. They come to this earth with mission and as soon as they finish their missions, they come back to heaven.
That is the truth of this world. And that truth is common truth that I can see among many different kinds of thoughts or religions or teachings.
Furthermore, from common truth I learned, if we see the life tree of God (world tree), then we human beings must be like leaves of that life tree of the ultimate God. Or we may be cells of huge body of God. We are all part of God and we were all children of God. We can say we are not God himself but we are a part of him, we are children of God for sure. And mankind is all connected and we are all brothers and sisters.
+ And that must be the reason why all of us has pride. (It is natural that you have pride if you are a part of God),
+ And that might be the reason why all of our lives are precious (It is natural to think that our lives are precious if our lives are parts of God),
+ And that is why human lights are precious (of course it is precious because it is not just human light but it is also the light of children of God,
+ And that is why we cannot kill someone (of course you cannot kill part of God, you cannot kill children of God),
+ And that is why suicide is not allowed (of course you cannot kill yourself because you are part of God, you are children of God, if you kill yourself, it is same as killing God, you cannot do that),
+ And that is why you cannot lie and hurt and insult others (because they are all parts of God, they are children of God, that is why you cannot lie or hurt or insult others, if you do those, then it is same as you are telling lie to God and it is same as you are hurting God and it is same as you are insulting God, you cannot do that),
So, from such a point of view, if you look at people around you, what you are supposed to see there is, there are a lots of people who has divine inside and they are all children of God, and each of them has different personalities and they are all unique and precious, and they are all blessed existence. That is the truth of this world. And that is what we are supposed see in this world. But but, however, majority of us do not see the world in such a way, and majority of us do not know such a simple fact, and so that they keep doing something oppose to his divinity, and keep creating bad karmas. It is very sad and disappointing fact. Therefore, I wish many of us soon recognize this fact that they are all children of God and parts of God, and I hope that they live their lives more politely with respects to their lives.
So I think we better see the people around us in that way. No, we “must” see the people in that way. It is the requirement.
So, I pray strongly many people to find out the fact that they are all parts of God and they are all children of God soon and I hope they live in the way they are supposed to. I live with such a strong wish in everyday life.
(3) How you see the world (2) –future can be changed by your thought-
But even I say so, for those who do not believe in God or those who do not believe in human as spiritual existence, what I have said means probably nothing to them. They may think that after they die, that is it, nothing left, no spirit left but just become nothing and void. Therefore, they may think they should enjoy as much as they can while they are alive. For such people, how to live with certain mental attitude based on the idea (we humans are all children of God and we reincarnate many many times to gain more experiences and brush up our minds and get closer to God by gaining understanding about yourself, humans, this world and God through such many life experiences in reincarnation.) may mean nothing.
For those people do not believe in God or those who do not believe in human as spiritual existence may just seek for just fun and live with less pain and live longer may be all they wish because death means the end of everything for them.
And among them, since they do not scare of God, some of they may become like beasts or scum of human who feel joy in threatening others or trapping others or giving pains to others. For me, those are almost like devils. The worst status of human beings.
So, as we see it, the “thought” you have can change the way you see the world and it will change the way of your living and it will change your definition of this world. And this world, we, mankind is made of people who has different “thoughts” and different philosophies with different way of seeing this world. The future of our planet is depending upon what kind of thoughts majority of mankind will have. So“Thought” is very important thing for us.
For materialists or atheists, there is no God or no Spirits who always watch us
from other dimensions, so that they do not have idea of invisible existences are
watching and checking their mind status so what they say and what they think are
often different. Because they think no one can find out their lies. So they have no
hesitation in telling you untruth. And they can do any bad things if no one is
watching it because they do not believe in invisible existences watching what they are doing. And for those people, their death mean the end of everything. They do not believe in after life, they do not believe in Karma so that they do not think that they need to carry all the things they have done through reincarnation forever. They think they can “reset” their lives by their death, so that they think all the bad things they did disappears with their deaths. So they can do anything without hesitation, even they can commit suicide for the same reason. Even they hurt someone, they think it does not matter for them because they think all the bad things can be deleted when they die and since they think they will become nothing after their death, they think they do not need to suffer for keep blamed by others after their death. What they care is only how to avoid fear of pain in body and spirit, and how to gain the pleasures in body and in spirit. So, they tend to obey to the power that may hurt them in body or in spirit even it is the bad power. So it is not just good or bad but it is matter of fear. No policy and no philosophy behind it. And where they become to be in the position to hurt someone with power they do it the same to the much weaker existences. So there is a chain of harassment never ends. It is close to nature but in case of nature, animals act with their instinct but we human do the harassment more intentionally. Animals can be better than human in that sense. It is not beautiful way of life and I think we can live in better way. They also care about what other people say about them, because it psychologically hurts. So, in order to avoid it, they try to be nice in front but their thinking is actually different. But again since they do not believe in invisible existence watching their mind or since they do not believe in Karma, they can become hypocrites easily.
And those people tend to seek for enjoyment mainly for their bodies. It is OK to enjoy foods or music or sports or any activities as leisure but that should not be the main goal for your life, right? It is a matter of balance and it is a matter of which subject is main and which subject is sub in your life. When seeking enjoyment for their bodies become their main goal in their lives, such idea tends to make those people antisocial existence. They will become like beasts. Especially people who seek for sexual pleasure tends to make their lives in wrong direction and such idea tends to lead them into tragedy. Because they tends to be possessed by the desire and they tend to put important mental attitudes (care to family or children or weak existence who need your help) aside. Joy wins over humanity. That is not a good condition. We got to be careful to handle such desire. And there are some people who were failed to be almost like devils who enjoys entrapping people in bad conditions, those looks like almost none human being. They are sad existence.
So, if the world is full of materialists or atheists, since they do not believe in God or Spirits who always watch our mind and our actions, they will not hesitate to lie to you or hurt you and your kids, they will only care about how to avoid fear to pain and they put priority in chasing enjoyment rather than caring people around you with humanity. Such a world is close to hell. It is close to our reality but it is not wonderful world.
On the other hand, if the majority of people who live in this world believe in
God and believing that invisible spirits are watching their minds and their actions and so that they should behave right in mind and in actions and they cannot tell lie and they cannot do bad things even no one is watching it. That is wonderful isn’t it?
If the majority of people who live in this world believe in Karma and reincarnation, then people’s actions and thoughts becomes more careful with care to others, and they can satisfy with their current life because they can believe that this life is result of their past lives and if they live good in this life, their lives in future could be wonderful so that they should live good and be nice to others and create good Karma in this life.
That is wonderful isn’t it?
If the majority of people who live in this world believe in this world is created by God so that they should keep this world better and clean place with care, and if those people believe in all the man were a part of God and all children of God and we are all brothers and sisters in spirit, so that we should respect and care and love each other, and if we live that way, then that is wonderful isn’t it?
If you compare above two (the world of atheist & the world of God believer), which world is safer place for your children to live?
I think if the world is full of people who believe in God and who believes that invisible spirits are watching their mind and their actions and believing in Karma and reincarnation, then the world becomes much safer and brighter and trustworthy place to live.
Anyway, what kind of “thought” mankind have can change this world. Thought is such a powerful and an important aspect for us for sure.
(4) How you see the world (3) –Karma -
Again, I live my daily life with a thought which is believing in God and believing that we are all children of God and in the process of reincarnation, we brush up our minds and gaining experience and trying to get closer to God. That is how I see the world. And I also believe that whatever we acted or thought were all recorded as Karma, and we need to carry the results throughout the reincarnation. And Karma means cause and effect. We receive reaction to what we have done, so that if you do nice to others, in future, we will receive those good things from others. If you hurt someone, you will be hurt in future. That is Karma. So we better do good things as much as you can if you wish your good future. Effect in Karma can be appeared in next or next next life or even more later future, so it is hard to know what you are facing is the result of which Karma from which life but if you face very lucky thing, then it may be result of something you did something kind and good to others in your past lives, and if something unlucky thing happens then it might be the result of your bad attitude in the past lives. It is really hard for us to know which incident is result of which Karma in which lives but the important point here is, we better do good and kind things to others. And you should know that doing good thing now is equals to you are creating your lives in futures reincarnation brighter and better for sure.
And it is simply wonderful thing if many people start to believe in Karma and if they start to try to be cautious about what they do or what they say to others and try to be good person. So we should recommend more people to believe in Karma and we all try to be kind and nice each other. Then this would will become much nicer place to live.
(5) the contents of object(1) and (7)
In the article #3, I explained what my 7 objects are.
In there, I explained “Object (1): Always try to have and keep the right mental attitude and live with them intentionally.” is most important objects among 7.
But I did not reveal the contents of it in detail. So, since I do not have to reveal my real name here, even it is bit embarrassing, I decided to explain it in detail below.
Based on the view of the world I see as I explained above, I am requiring to myself to do below things.
（A) We human beings are children of God, so that we are supposed to respect each other, and care each other, and we should not despise each other, or hurt each other, but on the other hand, most of people do not realize the fact and many of them live daily life without paying attention to such a fact, and from self- instinct of self‐preservation, they tend to attach people around them to put them in the much safer place, but all those negative actions are wrong from the spiritual point of view. And all those negative actions are creating bad Karma for them without any conscious. We those who are already aware of this fact should try to stop those people to keep creating bad Karma as much as we can, and we should try to tell and teach them that they are not supposed to do such wrong things because all of us are children of God so that we should respect and care and love each other and it is creating good Karma so that it is good for your future. I am requesting myself to keep such a mental attitude all the time.
（B) Regarding job, I have been trying to match the profit of my company and the profit of society, I mean I am hoping and paying attention what my company sells benefits society and my company contributes to the society. And also I am trying hard to be knowledgeable about my job and try to be in the position to make the appropriate right decisions in job. And paying attention to all workers to be happy through the jobs and all of them achieve appropriate self-realization and realize win & win situation between the workers and the organization. And I try to focus and work hard bright, that is the mental attitude that I request myself in my job.
（C) Finally, I request myself to meditate shortly to be one with God and live with the God and Pray and ask guardian angels to protect me from any evils and appreciating them to let me learn many things through my life and asking them to assist me to do above two things right. That is the 3rd mental attitude I request myself.
I ask myself to have above three things in my mind all the time and live with them.
And it is almost same as above (C) but,
among my 7 objects, “object (7): And praying to the higher beings such as gods and Buddha and ask them for help to do all those above things right and live with their supports and live together with holy spirits throughout my life.” is one of my object to achieve in my daily life.
It is about Pray. I pray to guardian angels and above Gods to support me to achieve all those 7 objects in my life and I appreciate to them and having an image to live together with them.
And also I pray some words of prayers which were given by a famous and the great religious leader in Japan as well. I pray those words of prayers every day.
By praying them, I have been receiving power and protect. I am appreciating it very much.
That was the contents of my object (1) and (7).
I hope this story become good reference for you.
