Respect Yourself
Masami Saionji

Turning your thoughts into Respecting Yourself becomes an opportunity to elevate to a High-Dimensional Consciousness
When your consciousness gradually begins to awaken to truth and you want to heighten your life to a high-dimensional level, a truth deeply related to your true nature will intuitively suddenly begin to appear within you. A sublime light that always protects and guides you unites with your Guardian Spirits and Guardian Deities. The magnificence and the sublimity of this combination cannot be expressed through words. In order to become one with our Guardian Spirits and Guardian Deities, we have to purify ourselves unlimitedly by devoting ourselves wholeheartedly to prayer, to forming the IN and to writing Mandalas. And we must shift from unconsciousness to consciousness.

It often happens that what people speak, think and do is merely a repetition of their same past negative habits and because of this they ultimately deal negatively with the various matters they face. In this case, even knowing the truth, one’s destiny will not improve. The most important thing for human beings is to cultivate a sense of respect for themselves. Because if you do not respect yourself and consider yourself as important, everything you do in your life will be inert and will be carried out in a mechanical manner.

At the moment a person’s mind begins to respect him or herself, an opportunity occurs for him or her to rise to a high-dimensional consciousness. At that time, the words you speak, the thoughts you emit, and the actions you take will be received seriously, and you will be able to take responsibility for everything you do. This will change one’s unconscious behavior into conscious behavior and humanity’s lives will change widely.

The Thoughts People Emit determines How They Are Treated in their Surroundings
No one should believe they could be manipulated like a slave that must obey others, or that they are inferior, or unable to assert their own will. The more they indulge in those beliefs, the more their original dignity declines and becomes lost. Regardless of their environment or any other conditions, all human beings are completely equal before God, and no one should be discriminated against. If this should occur, it is solely due to one’s thoughts of accepting one’s self as inferior and incapable.

This occurs because those who surrounded you when you emitted these unconscious negative thoughts received these vibrations and treated you accordingly. Many might believe that it is normal for poor, uneducated people to be treated like slaves. This is not true. Regardless of the situation people find themselves, if the essential mentality of self-respect is engraved into their soul, not one single person will treat them unequally. Everything depends on our inner consciousness. Could it be that discrimination and contempt interfere in the basic level of respect for life even if one does not have a superior education or an accumulation of material possessions, science and benefits? As long as self-respect solemnly exists in one’s soul, people will naturally respect everyone, regardless of nations and places.

On the other hand, even those born in wonderfully civilized nations with superior education and possessing material benefits will be discriminated against, despised, and treated like slaves. This indicates further proof of what occurs to those who do not have pride within and consider themselves inferior. When all is said and done, a superior education, material possessions, or the difference of culture, race and religion is by no means the cause of discrimination.

Regardless of religion, race, government, or country, if people respect their own life, have pride in their religion, race, culture, history, treat their body tenderly, love their personally and hold dear their words thoughts and actions, bright vibrations will be emitted around them and they will only receive love, respect and benevolence. These people will become brilliant leaders who will rescue many people from their sufferings, surrounding race and religion. They will rescue them from poverty, famine, and from being refugees. People born in difficult conditions will learn to respect themselves through their life, and in so doing they will be delivered from all sufferings and restrictions. It is their own thoughts that make them suffer. It is their own thoughts that restrict them. It is their own thoughts that despise, reprimand and oppress them. Each individual human being should be fully aware that others are by no means the cause of their sufferings and restrictions.

The Prayer and IN Guide People Toward a High-Dimensional Consciousness Rising Above Solving Problems
The ultimate learning about human life is the ultimate truth of “Ware Soku Kami Nari” I am a divine being. The essence of “Ware Soku Kami Nari” lies in esteeming one’s dignity, holding dear one’s life, loving and forgiving oneself, and being grateful to oneself. However, even knowing the ultimate truth of ”Ware Soku Kami Nari” is meaningless if we do not express this through our words, thoughts and actions. There is a tremendous difference between knowing the truth and understanding it with the soul that transforms it into actions. Do become the kind of people who express the ultimate truth in your daily life little by little and become people who respect and love yourself.

These small daily actions will ultimately transforms you into a person of bright thinking. It is no exaggeration to say that one cannot become an absolute person of bright thinking without these small actions. Even saying so, it is it is extremely difficult to put this into practice. But it is our mission to transform these into actions. Even using your precious time to write Mandalas a hundred times or ten thousand times, even forming the IN of Ware Soku Kami Nari and of Jinrui Soku Kami Nari a hundred thousand times, even practicing the fading away method along with the prayer for world peace many times every day, if thoughts of love, benevolence, forgiveness and gratitude do not arise regardless of your circumstances, you cannot yet be called an expert. On the other hand, no matter how difficult and harsh one’s actual situation may be and no matter how seldom one prays and forms the IN, those who are overflowing with thoughts of love, benevolence, and gratitude for themselves and others are called experts.

In essence, the prayers, IN’s and Mandalas are not means to evade the adverse circumstances people incur. They are the means to confront suffering, adverse circumstances and hardships and guide them toward a genuine eternal solution. Undoubtedly, to pray and to form the IN in order to extinguish the karma from past lives is much preferred than not to do so. However, ultimately the prayer and IN are not meant to solve problems, but rather to guide us to attain “Ware Soku Kami Nari” itself as well as to respect, love and be grateful to our self and brilliantly shine.

As proof of this, I ask you to make the declaration of Ware Soku Kami Nari and Jinrui Soku Kami Nari. If you consider the prayer and the IN only as a means to solve problems, you will be unable to reach a higher dimensional consciousness because you are still focused on those situations. Of course, people will advance in the direction that leads them toward solving problems. However, ultimately they are the essence of guiding our self to the accomplishment of our mission, rising above those problems, and causing us to leap to a high-dimensional consciousness.

All phenomena that appears before us are vanishing images of karma from previous lives, and we should therefore never be afraid of whatever may appear. Simply thank you Guardian Spirits and Guardian Deities, and entrust all your wishes to prayer. You should not pray only for the accomplishment of your wishes, but for the happiness of all humanity as well as world peace. At the risk of his own life, Masahisa Goi has taken a large amount of the karma incurred in our past lives, and he has urged us to pray the prayer for world peace at all times.

If we do not change, we will not acquire the strong desire to work for the salvation of humanity which was Masahisa Goi’s original goal. If we remain on the consciousness level of praying to solve our problems, this will be because we are unable to rise to a higher level. This is why Masahisa Goi has returned to heaven shouldering the karmic thoughts of humanity and brought down the ultimate truth of Ware Soku Kami Nari from the divine world, through him we have been able to reach a level of higher-dimensional consciousness.

Everyone Can Attain A High Dimensional Consciousness
Everyone has the capability to raise his or her understanding to a high dimensional consciousness (Ware Soku Kami Nari). Our level changes through awareness or lack of awareness of this reality. Naturally, we will come to understand how important it is to live consciously aware of whatever we are doing which will steadily develop our infinite capability. We will really become able to understand the sublime truth Masahisa Goi and many saints and sages have taught. Little by little, we will be able to experience what he and the many saints and sages have experienced.

In order to arouse our hidden inner capability, it is extremely important to recall the ultimate truth (Ware Soku Kami Nari) that has existed since the time humanity was born. People who earnestly put into practice this ultimate truth will steadily brighten and elevate themselves, and finally they will elevate above all vanishing phenomena. And in this life, still having a physical body, no misfortune, suffering, calamity or illness will arise and they will leap toward a brilliant life. People are presently entrenched in the benefits of culture and civilization, and they live pampered by an abundance of material things that makes it difficult to search for the truth on their own. In former times, there were many saints and sages and thanks to those who come in touch with such a sublime way of living went to the extremes of truth. However, in these modern times, few truly yearn for sacred things in their life, and instead have lost their thoughts of respect adoration and praise, and that is really regrettable. In contrast, those who do brighten and elevate themselves however will heighten their soul to a higher level and become formidable people.

Judging Others Will Diminish Our Sublime Points
At the present time, instead of praising and respecting others, many people reproach the weak points and mistakes of others and judge and criticize them. Acting in such way, they will diminish their own sublime points of their own doing. Why is it that people do not come in contact with others with a mind of respect, love and gratitude? Why don’t they gently praise the strong points of others? Why do they criticize and judge the faults, failures and differences in others capabilities?

It is because people always want to be regarded with respect. But they cannot discover the sublime sacred things within themselves, and therefore cannot recognize the strong points and sacred essence of others. Therefore, they bring up and criticize the faults and weak points of others. By criticizing and judging others, they bring relief to their own mind. This type of person diminishes their own virtues and sublime points every time they criticize another. Everyone should earnestly pay attention to this reality.

Whatever the reason, each time you judge and criticize others, your own sublime points are wrenched from you through your own words, thoughts and actions and your own level will be looked down upon. Conversely, even if the other person clearly has failed and exhibits weak points, if you discover the strong points of that person and send them thoughts of love and respect, your own sacred sublime parts will be elevated. The more divine human beings (Shinjin) live attuned to this law of truth, the more their own sacred sublime points become more and more elevated causing them to appear like brightly shining saints.

This is why it is so important to refrain from critical judgment at all times. It is important to look at our strong points and regard all faults as vanishing phenomena. Since everyone harbors weak points and faults, it is foolish to focus on them. It is necessary that all humanity explore the truth!

Express Your Self the Way You Are and Your Life Will Change
All people can only steer their life into the right direction by reforming themselves. Everyone should know very well that in no way could another person change his/her life. If you want to change your life and steer it in the right direction, you must first make efforts to change your mind. You have to be aware of the fact that you are the only one who guides your life toward suffering because you cannot love yourself, cannot forgive yourself and cannot respect yourself. Lacking a strong self-confidence, you worry about what others think of you. You do not want others to know that you are a small vessel and that is a bad habit. This bad habit causes you to hide your inner self and desire others to believe you can do things you actually cannot do. The more you behave in this manner, the more you will suffer. People should be more honest and straightforward about the way they actually are because there is no need to exaggerate yourself. Allow yourself to live the way you are in a natural way and whatever situation you are in.

Nothing is more trying and painful than to deceive yourself. When you do not honestly perceive yourself, it simply proves you have no self-confidence and harbors an inferiority complex. Explore the truth. Those who do not respect themselves cannot take responsibility for what they do. Those who are awakened to truth do not overestimate themselves, they can honestly express themselves the way they are.

World Peace Cannot Materialize as Long as People Continue to Judge Each Other
If everyone respected each other and all things, the earth would naturally be full of harmony and world peace would materialize. To attain that goal, do not at all judge or criticize yourself. Cast everything into the prayer for world peace and consider all else as vanishing phenomena. People who can realize this perfectly will not blame, criticize or judge others. .

To begin with I would like you to take another look at your family. Aren’t you blaming, criticizing, and passing judgment on your husband, your wife, your parents, and your in-laws? No matter how ardently you work for the world, if you harbor malcontent concerning your family and those around you, the time will certainly arrive when you will lose everything. If you display thoughts of judgment and criticism towards others through your words and attitude, even if you pray, form the IN and write Mandalas every day, you will lose your great works of accumulated charitable acts to that extent.

No one has the right to blame, criticize or pass judgment on others. Even God does not do this. Having said this, why do human beings pass judgment on each other? Could it be that humans are allowed to do things even God does not do? This cannot be true. Because mankind has not risen above the low-dimensional world, people continue to attack and pass judgment upon others through newspapers, radio, television, family and society. In fact, it often occurs that those who perform these acts are regarded as highly intellectual. How would it be possible for the world to be delivered from war, conflict and agony if this continues?

Let’s Discover Excellent Character in All Things
Now indeed everyone must discipline themselves and guide themselves toward a place where they can learn the truth. Regardless of what occurs, peace will materialize on earth for the first time when people forgive and love themselves. To begin with, Shinjin must vow themselves never to criticize or pass judgment on others. Then, they will change everything into forgiveness, love, and benevolence, and they will show this to the world. People of an ordinary level will have difficulty doing this, and those who exaggerate their intellectual level will not be able to do this at all. Neither can those who look down upon others, nor those who possess materialistic wealth and discriminate against others, nor those with an inferiority complex. Shinjin are the ones who can do this. Over and again, transform your prayers into action, please! If we transform the ultimate truth into actions step by step this will serve a proof of truth to humanity.

Shinjin and Shinjin-to- be have the task of awakening people to truth. Recognize your mission in this life, please! The essence of Shinjin is to discover the superior points in all things, to direct their attention to those points only, to concentrate their consciousness on those points only. They should understand very well that all they need to do is refrain from all blame, criticism and judgment. Through steadily practicing this and through a sense of accomplishment that you have been able to practice it, for the first time, you will be able to look at yourself with awe. Through this practice and daily bright thinking, the thoughts of arrogance, impossibility and contempt that had deeply taken root in your consciousness will be gradually erased.

If all humanity filled the world with words, thoughts and actions of respect, praise and gratitude, the world would soon enjoy peace.
