日本人として初めて宇宙に行き、
ジャーナリストでは
初めて宇宙空間から宇宙を報道したとして知られている
秋山 豊寛さんと、
昨日、お会いしたドラゴンユウコです
現在は、京都造形芸術大学芸術学部の教授をされています。
現在も旧ソ連認定の宇宙飛行士の資格は有効であるため
ソビエト連邦第3級宇宙飛行士という肩書ももっていらしゃいます。
72歳なのだそうですが、まだ60代前半に見えました。
宇宙から帰還後はTBSの報道総局次長などを歴任されたほか、
『筑紫哲也NEWS23』で
筑紫哲也さん休暇期間中の
キャスター代理を務めたりされましたが、
宇宙に行ったことで、
価値観ががらりと変わり、
TBSを退社されたと言われています。
秋山さんは
JAXA所属の宇宙飛行士さんのような組織の職員としての制限がないので、
宇宙に行った経験、視点から
自由に物事を発言できる
私たちにとって、
とても大切な人ですと
ドラゴンユウコは伝えたのでした。
秋山さんは、京都にあと2年滞在予定で次の移住場所を考え中だそうです。
三重県へとお誘いしたドラゴンユウコでしたが、
若狭湾の原発が停止だと、三重県も候補地みたいでした。
福島で被災されたので原発から離れた安全なところにしたいそうです。
「long rangeで考えなきゃね」
と、おっしゃってました
慎重に考え行動する、でもってとても忍耐強い人に見えました。
その一方、相手をとてもオープンにしてしまう秋山さんはすごいなと思いました。
相手の心を開いてしまう不思議な人です
チョプラ博士の21日間メディテーション、第19日目です

第19日 英知の光を放つ
「知識の始まりには楽しみがある」
ジョージ・ドーシー(アメリカの民族誌学者)
私たちは
人生の経験から
多くを学んだ人の英知には
とても価値があると思っています。
今日は、そういった種の英知ではなく、
スピリチュアル的な価値ある英知、
瞑想から得られる英知があることを学びます。
このスピリチュアル的英知は、
これまでの21日間瞑想で高めてきたものです。
あなたの気づきが深まるにつれて、
英知と喜びを発見していきます。
そして、あなたは、
集合意識の視点から
すべての人々と
本質的につながっているのだと認識するのです。
この段階の気づきは、
古来の賢者たちが重んじていたことであり、
洞察力や幸せにあふれ、
すべてへ愛を放つ、
喜びに満ちた英知に目覚めたマインドの状態です。
今日の瞑想では、
あなたの存在から英知の光を自然に放つようサポートしていきます。
Day 19 – Radiating Wisdom
“Play is the beginning of knowledge.” ― George Dorsey
“We value the wisdom of those who have learned well from their life experiences. Today we will learn that there is another kind of wisdom valued by the spiritual traditions of the world, and that is the wisdom gained from meditation. This spiritual wisdom is what we are cultivating during our 21-Day Meditation Experience. As we delve deeper into our awareness, we uncover greater knowledge and joy. We see our essential connection with everyone else from the vantage point of unity consciousness.
This is the level of awareness that the ancient seers prized, the joyful wisdom of the awakened mind that emanates insight, happiness, and love to all. Our meditation today will support this natural radiation of wisdom from our being.”
Today’s Centering Thought
“My being is wise and knowing.”
Sanskrit Mantra
“Vedohum – I am pure knowledge” (Deepak pronounces Vaydoh-hum)
Oprah
“Welcome to day 19, Radiating Wisdom. What makes a person wise? Socrates said, ‘Wisdom begins in wonder’. Don’t you love that quote! I think that’s a perfect paradigm shift. Wisdom is more than what you know or the sum of your life experiences, both rich and difficult. Wisdom is what you feel and I believe the wisest people are always seeking, going deeper and higher. That, Deepak teaches us, is how you radiate wisdom. It isn’t something you attain, it is divinely present within you. Connect with that presence and trust it and you’ll tap into the joyful intelligence of the soul. When you can go with that, letting it flow from within everything in life becomes easier and you are happier. Today, Deepak guides us to a wisdom that honors the wholeness of all, the ever-renewing happy wisdom of the soul. So let’s clear our thoughts and open up to a new perspective of wisdom.”
Deepak
“It will surprise you when you discover how wise you are. Wisdom is usually associated with living a long life or being a professor. People consider themselves wise when they’ve endured so many ups and downs, gone through so many crises that they know how hard life can be. But this isn’t true wisdom because it’s tied to the past. True wisdom shows you how fresh and fascinating life is. To be wise is to be innocent, open, receptive, but also knowing.
The great English poet, William Blake, called this special state organized innocence which is different from being an innocent babe in the woods. Instead, he was pointing to a rare state where you know about the world and how hard life can be. Yet, from the ashes springs a living flame. You want to embrace the wholeness of life because in wisdom, you know that life’s essence is in eternal bliss and infinitely expanding consciousness. You are wise because you have started to walk the path of wisdom by recovering your true self and reconnecting with your soul. There is no wiser decision that anyone can make. The wisdom of great learning is something I admire but what I admire the most is the wisdom to see beyond appearances and to seek union with spirit.
When you radiate the happiness of your true self, you are radiating the wisdom of the seeker who is on the spiritual path. Dante wrote, ‘Wisdom is the ultimate perfection of our soul in which consists our ultimate happiness’. Today’s meditation is dedicated to making this come true for you.
As we prepare to meditate together, let’s take a moment to consider our centering thought. My Being is wise and knowing. My Being is wise and knowing.
Now, let’s prepare for our meditation. Make yourself comfortable and close your eyes. Begin to be aware of your breath and just breathe, slowly and deeply. With each breath, allow yourself to become more deeply relaxed. Now gently introduce the mantra, Vedohum. This mantra reveals the infinite wisdom of life within your own consciousness. Repeat it silently to yourself, Vedohum. Vedohum. Vedohum. With each repetition, feel your body, mind and spirit open and receive just a little more. Whenever you find yourself distracted by thoughts, noises or physical sensations, simply return your attention to silently repeating the mantra. Vedohum. Vedohum. Vedohum. Continue with your meditation. Vedohum. Vedohum. Vedohum. Just mentally. Vedohum. Vedohum. Vedohum.
Release the mantra. Continue to sit restfully, inhaling and exhaling slowly. When you feel ready, open your eyes.
As you continue with your day, contemplate the centering thought, My Being is wise and knowing. My Being is wise and knowing. My Being is wise and knowing.
Namaste”
Journal Questions:
1. “Today’s meditation showed us that we all have a profound and innate wisdom. How have you experienced this in your life? Write about a time that you spontaneously said the right thing at the right time to someone. What did that communication feel like for you?”
2. “Write a short letter to yourself as a 13-year-old self from your present wise adult self. Based upon our experience and wisdom in this present moment, reassure your teenage self that all worries and concerns will be outgrown and things will turn out okay.”
3. “Now write another letter to present-day you from your spiritually wise self, addressing your current worries about finances and relationships. Take it to heart that again, everything will work out and be okay.”
4. “Reflect further on today’s experience.”
