If gravitational forces, magnetic fields, or the wavelength of sunlight changed even slightly, existing lifeforms would not survive.

We are kept alive by “a certain will.”

While being alive, we have individual desires, passions, anger, and worries.

We have been reincarnating over a long period in this environment and are now living in this era.

Being alive now is not coincidental. There is a purpose.

First and foremost, we should be grateful for being alive, then pursue our individual purposes and chase our dreams.

Even if one is in unfortunate circumstances, or has a sick body or mind, if they begin to express gratitude for being alive, surely the world will look different to them.

They will realize how many people have helped them and how indebted they are.

Now, this “stage” on which people experience life is about to change.

People of ancient times continuously offered their gratitude to this “stage.”

Recently, many people think that having this “stage” is a given and that they must only achieve social success.

I dream that by offering gratitude to this moving stage, we can slow down or even stop this change.

If the number of people who recall feelings of gratitude for “ordinary things” reaches 5% of Japan’s population, this vibration will spread globally, and the change will likely cease.

“Thank you for keeping me alive” — this is the soulful phrase that resonates with the stage.

Question:
It’s written that “when starting ancestor memorial services, spirits might come to rely on you and temporarily cause physical discomfort.” Is this phenomenon limited only to the person performing the ritual? I’m concerned that family members might experience it as well. My child is quite sensitive; will they be okay?

Answer:

Various spiritual beings from other realms are beginning to increasingly invade our reality and possess humans whose wavelengths match theirs. This has already begun. Whether people start ancestor memorial services or not, issues like sudden personality changes, depression, and school refusals are expected to increase.

It’s not that starting ancestor memorial services causes physical discomfort. The reality is that spirits that have already possessed someone become more apparent with the ancestor memorial service.

However, humans are vulnerable. If unpleasant things happen after starting ancestor memorial services, people might blame the ritual, becoming anxious. It’s sad. They might stop the act of expressing gratitude to their ancestors.

The reason I conduct ancestor memorial services is simply to offer gratitude and ease any suffering ancestors. Regardless of what happens to me as a result, I willingly accept it. It’s not for personal gain.

If you’re told, “Starting ancestor memorial services might attract spirits, causing discomfort to you or your child,” and you become anxious, then it’s better not to proceed. Your concern for your child is valid.

I feel that if we don’t perform ancestor memorial services and strengthen our guardian spirits, we will go through challenging times.

Just as parents protect their children, ancestors protect their descendants.

By the way, on a different note, don’t break the incense sticks you offer. For animal memorial services, please break them in half. Use unbroken incense sticks for ancestor memorial services. If there’s a broken or shortened stick, use it as the third offering.

Again, for the first two sticks during the ancestor memorial service, don’t use broken or short ones.

By the time you offer the third stick, the first two will have burnt down, but you don’t need to be concerned about their length or height.

You don’t have to stay in front of the burning incense sticks the whole time. Later, ensure the flame has been properly extinguished.

Please dispose of the remaining incense ash periodically as it might retain heat.
