Around 11:00 AM, I arrived at Ise Jingu’s another shrine, Izawa-no-miya.

It was incredibly serene, with only us as visitors.

I feel that this is the true Ise Jingu.

From there, the Pacific Ocean stretches out directly ahead.

From the Middle East and Europe’s perspective, this might be the edge of the eastern continent, the place where the sun rises.

The antiquity of Izawa-no-miya’s history feels even older than Ise Jingu’s Naiku.

Though the approach is about 20 meters long, walking it makes you feel the passage of timeless ages, making it seem much longer.

Approaching the main hall, bowing twice, clapping twice, and joining hands, I had a spiritual vision of a vermilion sun disc.

Its size was about two times larger than the one I saw at Naiku.

This is the manifestation of the highest divine aspect of Amaterasu Omikami.

Just as I thought, “Ah, I could see it again,” vertical and horizontal lines appeared within the sun disc, forming a cross-like pattern similar to the Shimazu family’s cross emblem.

This was the first time I experienced this.

The significance of this was that in the higher realms of the divine world, I felt that “everything is completed.”

This reflection will sequentially transpose into multiple dimensions and eventually manifest in our reality.

At Izawa-no-miya, the maternal goddess of motherhood still exists in the world today.

I believe Japan, which has maintained this state for thousands of years, is a truly special country.

The anthropomorphic form of this maternal goddess is that of a mermaid.

I am grateful to have been born in this country.
