One day, my son came and asked me,

‘Why do I have to study at school?’

I always try to answer his questions as simply as possible, and this time, I said;

‘To make you and others happy. The more knowledge you learn in school, the more you can make you and others happy in the future.’

It may not be the perfect answer; however, my answer is hopefully simple enough for him to see that the future is something positive he hasn’t even thought of yet.

The truth is what I answered for him is exactly the reason that I keep myself eager to learn new things in life.

You won’t be able to master all bits of knowledge in the world in life anyway.

Nevertheless, it is worth spending time to expand your knowledge.

I believe that people feel excitement when they deepen their understanding about something new that they don’t know, which means that people are destined to learn throughout their journey in life.

I believe the coming spiritual-oriented world is the new age when people live in the simple principle: giving for others.

People there would not even think about dragging someone down to win the competition; on the contrary, their motivation to work for a living is always ‘to give for others’.

They would keep seeking the quality job in their profession, with the motivation to give for others.

‘How can I serve my client better?’

‘What do I need to know to support him/her enough?’

You can imagine how delightful it is when people are grateful for you.

The joy of giving is the most significant compensation for them, and monetary compensation always comes last.

In this scenario, it is total nonsense for you to compete with others, as someone that you should defeat is always you, but not others.

I am a firm believer that your growth needs to come with a well-balanced development of spirit, mind, and body, and those who can keep up the well-balanced growth will boost their transformation to be fine inhabitants of heaven.

Even now, those who keep practicing Divine Light and make the effort to expand his/her knowledge for the sake of others will attain the path to the new world in life.

The very key is always to practice ‘Divine Light’ and ‘Change your Sonen, Innermost-mind’.

Your effort to purify your soul and spirit and tune into the vibration of the Universe will realize your transformation in a spiritual wellness and lead you to a higher level.

Your spiritual journey and transformation shall begin at the moment when you determine to be the inhabitant of heaven, and you can be, not in the future but now.

Our spiritual journey will keep moving on.

There are a series of effective exercises, such as walking, interval training, squats, lunges, push-ups, abdominal crunches, or bent-over row.

You are motivated to work out, especially at the gym where others also workout in the same large room.

The music and voices that you hear there can motivate you to workout, and you will find yourself able to focus on your training.

Physical exercise can have the same effect as meditation, such as calming your mind down and focusing on one thing.

Yes, it comes with a kind of pain and suffering in the physical body, which is probably the reason why so many people quit after a short time.

However, the total health of mind and body is almost guaranteed after defeating your laziness.

Who is the enemy that tries to stop your workout? Not others, but you.

After keeping up the workout successfully, your health will improve, and healthy body will improve your ability to serve the community through your profession.

The same can be said for your spiritual training.

The purpose of spiritual training is to energize your soul and spirit with positive energy while removing the negative essence out of you.

People come to seek the light, and I have seen many people start changing their lives by practicing Divine Light.

Your focus at the spiritual center is the connection between God and you.

The continued practice of Divine Light will bring you to a new level, and your environment will start changing following the transformation of your soul and spirit.

The positive change of your soul and spirit is more significant than the aforementioned physical training, as your body and environment can be significantly affected by how you are in the spiritual realm.

Then, who can be the enemy that tries to stop your Divine Light practice? Not others, but you.

It is about the connection between God and you, and you would pay no attention to others when it comes to the Divine Light practice, just like the workout in the gym.

Those who would benefit from that physical training at the gym and Divine Light practice at the spiritual center are you and others who receive the service from you afterward.

I believe the next spiritual-oriented world’s competition would be essentially the same: it is all about how you would do, and not about how others do.

I can see much unhealthy competition in this secular world.

Honestly, I am not interested in defeating others or dragging someone down from where they are at all, which could get your back negatively someday.

However, the only enemy that I have to defeat is me.

To sharpen my knowledge and skills and be the person who can make my family and others happy, I know I have to keep competing with myself, not others.

Making myself, my family and others happy is truly the reason why people can keep going every single day.

The ultimate purpose?

It is to be part of the Divine Plan, realizing heaven on the planet altogether.

Stay tuned.

It’s normal and healthy for kids, especially boys, to compete with their peers, and I often see my two sons compete with each other.

I assume that kids are driven by the desire of status and recognition.

Soon, kids will be surrounded by competition in schools whether they like it or not, and many types of competitions in schools can continue for years. (Until college if they choose to go)

If you make a mistake in class, you will be embarrassed by the wrong answer, as if making a mistake is not allowed.

 Many kids will be turned off after a series of “defeats” and in the worst case could see themselves as losers.

I believe that Divine Light practice and spiritual knowledge are both critical, especially for the young generation.

Yes, reading, writing, and math are essential for young kids to learn.

However, learning spiritual principles and absorbing the Divine Light are more important for cultivating a pure soul and spirit.

I believe spiritual education will be much more in common in the future; however, until that time comes, it is our responsibility to teach our children the spiritual principles.

After knowing the spiritual principle and practicing Divine Light, the competitive mind is way different, and the difference comes from the motivation cultivated by education.

The education based on the spiritual principle gives you the idea of who you are and what you are supposed to achieve in life.

Going through life without spiritual nourishment is just like walking in darkness

The competitive mind without knowing the spiritual principle can lead you to negative motivation, and you may be tempted to drag someone down from where they are.

That unhealthy competition can negatively affect your soul and spirit, which you’ll have to atone for someday.

On the contrary, the competition after deeply understanding the spiritual principle is quite different. Those types of real competition will push you up to a higher level in the spiritual realm.

Then, with who you should compete, as the matured soul?

The enemy is not others, but you.

What is the motivation for those whose spiritual level is high?

Their motivation is to make others happy that they would feel after rendering the service to neighbors.

Stay tuned.

Healthy competition is a motive power to develop the material-oriented world for sure.

The Divine Plan that we talk about in the basic seminar clearly reveals humankind’s history and how we have been doing thus far.

The blue-colored age in the diagram of Divine Plan shows the age of material development. Obviously, people in those ages had no choice but to compete with each other. But in modern times, the power of competition has brought about a certain result of innovation, renovation, and further development in human progress.

If you use iPhone, everyone knows the device came after number of innovative ideas by Steve Jobs, and most of us know that he had a highly competitive personality.

It is true where Apple is today started his competitive mind. Jobs was even forced out of Apple once by CEO John Sculley back then after Sculley saw that Jobs’ strategy could even ruin the company.

Later, Steve Jobs returned to Apple, and the company keeps moving on today, after his death.

Macintosh Personal Computer

iPod

iOS Operating System

iPhone

iPad

Apple Watch …

No doubt that these innovations changed everything about how we work, shop, communicate, in the material world. (though my devices are fully equipped with Android)

This is how human history has progressed so far, and healthy competition was essential.

However, the competitive mindset can also cause the side-effect: degrading your soul and spirit level.

Remember how your soul and spirit are guided by the condition of your Sonen (the innermost mind).

Do not allow yourself to be trapped by the negative energy, such as anger, grudge, hatred, after rendering the competitive mind against others.

Those two, realizing the healthy competition and releasing the negative energy against others, are totally different stories. If you keep emitting negative energy to others, know that would be the energy that people can receive back within.

We will dig deeper into the subject of competition.

Stay tuned.

Most people expect a visible benefit in return when rendering their work to something.

There is nothing wrong with expecting the return; instead, it is essential to receive the return in the form of money, especially when it comes to living.

No one is willing to work for a company with no wage.

Volunteering in the community and earning money for a living are entirely different, and people would indeed expect a specific wage when working for a living.

‘The time and energy that I spent must be compensated.’

‘I can’t work if no compensation is granted.’

These ideas are quite natural, and it is common sense for anyone to receive compensation for their work.

However, it is also true that your work that is not compensated in the visible form will be stored in the spiritual realm.

The more a person dedicates themselves to something voluntarily without expecting compensation, the more virtue is gained in the spiritual realm.

That invisible virtue will come back to you in the positive form at the right time, as you deserve it.

Conversely, if you put something in your pocket, although you don’t deserve it–watch out!

Those visible form that you acquired will be taken from you in some way when the time comes.

Years ago, a friend of mine lost about $5,000 in his business.

It is pitiful that he lost a lot of money after rendering the service to his client.

However, he said he didn’t mind it, and it was meant to happen; I asked what he meant.

He explained how he once had a client who paid him $5,000 despite providing poor service. My friend kept the money, rather than give a discount. He knew that his poor job didn’t deserve $5,000.

The time to off-set the excess of his earning has come, and the loss of $5,000 made sense to him after all.

His story tells me that everything is equal in the spiritual realm, and things or money you didn’t earn honestly, will be taken.

In other words, you will receive what you deserve, even if you don’t receive it in the form at the moment.

The virtue that you store in heaven will never miss getting you to obtain abundant happiness.

Stay tuned.
