My Journey into the Daylight Age

There are many types

Of cancer.  But a nickname

For it, would be the

Meat eaters’ disease.  Of course,

It is not the only cause.

     When you listen to the introduction to Meishu-sama’s chapter on Cancer in his book, “Saving America” you may come up with a different way of looking at this condition.  I will post a recording of it here.  After you listen to it . . . I will share what I personally got from it. 

     First of all, I love meat.  I was raised with beef as the cornerstone of my family’s diet.  I stopped eating beef for two weeks over 40 years ago while I was visiting my relatives in Japan.  When I returned to the airbase in Tokyo, I actually could not stand the smell of beef being cooked.  I thought that was very strange.  The indifference did not last long.  After a while, I got used to it and once again it was a staple of my diet.  ^_^

     The reason I mentioned this is because, if I had read this book back then . . . I would have at least become a Pescatarian.  Any way . . . presently . . . I am a pescatarian.  Not necessarily because of my reading this book.  (It did help me decide) I need multiple reasons for doing things.  Well, my wife’s health was the other reason.  Since I cook most of the meals . . . I have been pretty much a vegetarian the past month.  I ordered a vegetable dish this past Sunday from a Chinese Restaurant with shrimp when I was dining alone. (That felt strange by the way) And once in a while, I enjoy eating an egg and natto on hot rice.  My long-range plans, of course, is to include fish in our diet and officially join the ranks of the pescatarians.  2023 update: Yes I am a pescatarian but I have once again put back into my diet all foods that resonate with me. But I continue to be primarily a grain (rice), fish, fruits and vegetable lover. And on very special occasions I enjoy beef, pork and chicken.

     Once again Meishu-sama writes about a cure for this condition without the use of Johrei.   I will also include the anecdotal support for a case cured with the assistance of Johrei for those of you who are interested in this method of treatment. 

December 2023 update: A thought came to me that resonates with my soul. I have moved Johrei as a critical step in all healing. Meishu-sama did mention in many of his Teachings the belief that Johrei goes way beyond the healing of the physical body . . .

Page out of our Daily Inspiration:  

ILLNESS (67)
The teachings that guide people to true health
Are paths of salvation ordained by God.
Do not fear illness or hardships.
Accept them as God’s blessings –
A way of purifying us
Of our accumulated spiritual clouds.
Even though illness is healed through prayers,
We still hold medical science
In high esteem. (Nidai-sama)

The primary purpose of Johrei is not to effect physical
healing. Johrei is an action that brings about spiritual
fulfillment and true happiness on Earth. I say this because,
sickness is a form of purification and the real cause of
sickness is clouds on the spiritual body, which are dispelled
through that purification. Johrei is a way by which all the
negative experiences of a person can be eliminated.

In this sense, poverty and conflict are also
manifestations of purification. However, the most serious of
all purifications is illness, because it involves one’s very life.
Therefore, when the problem of disease is solved, other
miseries such as poverty and conflict are automatically
solved, too.

Since the solution of these miseries is essential for the
attainment of true happiness, it needs to be clearly
understood that the cause of all miseries is clouds on the
spiritual body, and that the simplest and surest way to dispel
clouds and attain true happiness is Johrei. Therefore, Johrei
is not merely something to be used for the healing of
physical illness.

Based on this particular poem from Meishu-sama and Nidai-sama I have a developed a way of looking at Johrei. It is a very important part of the solution to all situations. The misery could be an illness. It could be conflict. Or it could also be a financial crisis. But since illness is the topic at hand . . .

Let’s consider what Nidai-sama mentioned in the above poem. Even though illness is healed through prayers,

                             We still hold medical science

                             In high esteem.

This partnership is critical. Before Johrei, there existed a partnership between prayer, surgery, chemo therapy, radiation therapy and good nutrition/exercise. We even included such things as image therapy, meditation, accupuncture and accupressure. The list goes on and on. The point I am trying to make is the realization that other approaches should be used especially in the case of life threatening illness. And in my humble opinion . . . no matter what approach you choose the invisible power of prayer and/or Johrei should be highly recommended.
