Sonen [innermost attitude]
Vibrations of a human ‘hidden heart’
Reversing sonen.
Humans can fool one another. No man can fool the Unseen. Only the Unseen can see the ‘hidden of the hidden’. It is one’s ‘hidden mind or heart’.
We have been told that reversing sonen is the most difficult part of one’s practice of faith going towards God. Not many will find reversing sonen to be easier when compared with raising the hand to give Divine Light.
Reversing sonen is hard but most important is to start from the beginning step by step after primary kenshu, or the earlier the better, rather than 10 years later or not at all.

THE KEY IN REVERSING SONEN
Matching vibrations between God and Man
Since you understand the relationship of the Divine. Astral and physical realms, I think you can understand that “reversing sonen” is extremely important.
As regards sonen, that is, the sonen of God, it is generally referred to as “Divine will”.
Expression such as the ‘will of God’ and the ‘will of Hotoke’ have been used also. Jesus referred to “Father in Heaven” and the ‘will of the Father’. He prayed that ‘the will of God be done on earth’.
There are many complex matters concerning the Divine realm, so the ‘will of God’ and ‘will of Hotoke’ cannot be described in a few words.
However, what is most important about the ‘will of God’ is that there is a so-called plan of the Creator God of Heaven and earth.
If things DO NOT MATCH with the arrangements of the plan of God, then no matter how many people may insist, ‘I am good’ according to a philosophical point of view, that will not reach the realm of God.
That is why it is important for people to strive to understand the plan of God and work at matching with it. If religious leaders do not understand this, they will guide mankind in completely the wrong direction. They have a grave responsibility.
So, if people are not matched with the will of God, their vibrations will not tune in. If the vibrations are not tuned in, the prayers WILL NOT REACH GOD, no matter how much people may pray.
Even if there is only one-unit difference in the spiritual level, you cannot communicate with each other, not even by as much as a wink.
This can be understood easily if one knows the principle of the workings of radio and television. Unless the frequencies match, there will be no communication at all. None at all. One would hear only noise. It is the same kind of relationship.
In the realm of spirit, there are no radioactive waves emanating from the physical body; everything depends on spiritual vibrations.
This is why differences between frequencies are very sensitively and easily detected.
One of the characteristics of the realm of spirit is that no communication will be possible if there is a slight difference [in frequencies].
Therefore, when it comes to matching vibrations between God and the realm of man, it is necessary to capture the precious sonen of God correctly.
If this is not done, problems will occur resulting in serious mistakes on a scale involving the whole of mankind.
This is another reason why people with extremely strong power of going-towards –God have been made to play the role of holy masters since ancient times.
Now, as regards ‘sonen’, basically it is the person’s ‘hidden heart’.
The vibrations of the mind/heart which do not appear on the surface, which are hidden, are called ‘sonen’.
God is very developed to capture these vibrations rather than any other ones. This is why people who are going towards God say, “God can see the hidden of the hidden.”
God captures the vibrations of one’s hidden mind or heart.
‘Kototama’ is like this.
Kototama refers to word functions that are hidden. They have very strong power.
In your prayers and Norigoto as well, Kototama is extremely important.
DISPLAY THE REAL ESSENCE OF A PRAGMATIC RELIGION
In short, the will of God definitely exists.
In the past, even though you might have been involved with various religions, your prayers do not seem to reach God.
The prayers of Buddhist monks and priests themselves have not reached God for several thousand years.
The teachings of Shakamuni Buddha, Jesus and Moses, were given to match ultimately with the plan of God.
This has become impossible in the fields of modern religion.
I feel that this is one of the major, common causes resulting in mismatching the frequencies between God and man.
As regards achieving the will of God on earth, the key is that God has His own planning chart.
In other words, there is His plan. People have been doing things that do not match with God’s plan, so no matter how much they pray, “God, please protect me” it will not be possible.
God calls this a ‘misguided request’.
This is why the more we asked God for some thing the more it resulted in a ‘back-to-front request’.
In ‘the will of God’, there is the plan of God and the ‘character of the Creator God of Heaven and earth’.
Within God’s character, what I humbly understand as a never-changing aspect is one function of His precious sonen, namely, ‘great love’ and what God calls “This is the true practice, magyo, of God”, that is, to practise [great love] with true sincerity, makoto, in other words, His character of ‘love and true sincerity”.
It may be rather impolite to say this, but God is just such a ‘practitioner of love’ and a ‘practitioner of Ma’.
I consider it an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SECRET concerning the occurrence of miracles, for people to change their sonen to try to attune their frequencies [to God] by following the ABOVE TWO POINTS.
I am transmitting this SECRET to you.
Since the establishment of Mahikari, I have been trying to come closer to God according to the above view-points.
If this is not done, prayers will not reach [God].
If things go off this track, MIRACLES WILL NOT OCCUR.
I have had many experiences where GOD SUDDENLY STOPPED MIRACLES.
That is why I have been serving God with these convictions.
These are the points related to ‘REVERSING SONEN’.
To grasp this basic principle in accordance with the correct going-towards-God faith, is going to be an important task for people in order for them to change to humans, hito [‘spirit dwells’] whose prayers will reach God.
A necessary point that comes out here is that people must display power to restore themselves to children of God by practising the correct laws, going-towards-God faith.
In this way, we must all learn about ‘REVERSING SONEN’ FROM THE BEGINNING.
In other word, ‘going-towards-God’ is not some lukewarm, easy thing.
And precisely because it is not indulgent or wishy-washy, what God gives you in return will be greater accordingly.
God will arrange things in such a way that what has to be given will be clearly given.
I hope you will go forward confidently to give salvation throughout the world with this conviction in mind.
No matter what, we are a ‘practising-troop’ religion.
I eagerly hope that you will fulfill the true essence of living religion, with the spirit of ‘firstly practise: secondly, practise”, understanding that the true nature [of Mahikari] is that it is different from any religious organisations that trifle with religious philosophies.

1990 年 4 月 MAAJ 第 7 頁
逆轉SONEN的關鍵
神與人之間的振動匹配
既然你了解神聖的關係。星界和肉界，我想你都能明白，「逆轉子念」是極為重要的。
至於sonen，即神的兒子，一般被稱為「神意」。
也使用了諸如“上帝的意志”和“霍托克的意志”之類的表達方式。耶穌提到「天父」和「天父的旨意」。他祈求「願上帝的旨意行在地上」。
神域的事情非常複雜，『神意』和『霍托克意志』都不是三言兩語能夠說清楚的。
但『天意』最重要的是，有所謂天地造物主的計劃。
如果不符合神的計劃的安排，那麼無論有多少人從哲學的角度堅持“我很好”，都達不到神的境界。
這就是為什麼人們努力理解上帝的計劃並努力配合它是很重要的。如果宗教領袖不明白這一點，他們就會把人類引向完全錯誤的方向。他們肩負著重大責任。
所以，如果人們不符合上帝的旨意，他們的振動就不會調準。
即使精神層次只有一個單位的差距，你們之間也無法溝通，連眨眼的時間都無法溝通。
如果了解廣播電視的工作原理，這一點就很容易理解。除非頻率匹配，否則根本無法進行通訊。一個都沒有。人們只會聽到噪音。這是同一種關係。
在精神領域，沒有肉身發出的放射性波；一切取決於精神振動。
這就是為什麼頻率之間的差異非常敏感且容易檢測到的原因。
靈界的特點之一就是稍有差異就無法溝通。
因此，當神與人界之間的振動匹配時，必須正確捕捉神的寶貝兒子。
如果不這樣做，就會出現問題，導致涉及全人類的嚴重錯誤。
這也是為什麼自古以來就讓具有極強通神的能力的人扮演聖主的角色。
現在說的“兒子”，基本上就是這個人的“隱藏的心”。
頭腦/心靈的振動沒有出現在表面上，而是隱藏的，被稱為“sonen”。
上帝非常善於捕捉這些振動，而不是任何其他振動。這就是為什麼走向神的人說：「神能看見隱藏中的隱藏」。
上帝捕捉到一個人隱藏的思想或心靈的振動。
《琴玉》就是這樣的。
Kototama 指的是隱藏的單字功能。他們擁有非常強大的力量。
在你們和法人的禱告中，琴玉是極為重要的。
展現務實宗教的真正本質
總之，神的旨意是絕對存在的。
過去，即使你信奉各種宗教，你的禱告似乎也達不到神那裡。
佛教僧侶和僧侶自己的祈禱幾千年來都沒有到達上帝那裡。
釋迦牟尼佛、耶穌和摩西的教義最終是為了與上帝的計劃相符。
這在現代宗教領域已成為不可能的事。
我覺得這是造成神與人頻率不符的主要原因之一。
神在地上要實現神的旨意，關鍵在於神有自己的計畫圖。
換句話說，有他的計劃。人一直在做一些不符合神的計劃的事情，所以無論他們如何禱告「神啊，請保護我」都是不可能的。
上帝稱這是「誤導的請求」。
這就是為什麼我們越向上帝祈求某件事，就越會導致「從後到前的請求」。
「天意」裡有神的計劃，有「天地造物主神的品格」。
在上帝的品格中，我謙卑地理解為永不改變的一面是他寶貴的兒子的一個功能，即“大愛”，以及上帝所說的“這是上帝真正的實踐”，即實踐【大愛】真摯誠，換句話說，他的性格是「愛和真誠」。
這麼說也許有些不禮貌，但神就是這樣一個「愛的實踐者」、「馬的實踐者」。
我認為這是關於奇蹟發生的一個極其重要的秘密，人們要改變他們的兒子，試圖透過遵循以上兩點來調整他們的頻率（與上帝）。
我正在將這個秘密傳遞給你。
自從Mahikari成立以來，我一直按照上述觀點努力接近上帝。
如果不這樣做，祈禱將無法到達[上帝]。
如果事情偏離了這個軌道，奇蹟就不會發生。
我有過很多次上帝突然停止奇蹟的經驗。
這就是為什麼我一直懷著這些信念來事奉上帝。
這些是與“REVERSING SONEN”相關的要點。
按照正確的“走向上帝”的信仰來掌握這一基本原則，對於人們來說是一項重要的任務，以便他們轉變為人類，“靈魂居住”，其祈禱將到達上帝。
這裡有一個必要的觀點是，人們必須透過實踐正確的律法、走向上帝的信仰來展現力量，使自己恢復上帝的兒女的身份。
這樣，我們就必須從一開始就了解「逆轉兒子」。
換句話說，「走向上帝」並不是一件不冷不熱、容易的事。
正因為不放縱，不軟弱，所以神給你的回報也會相對地更大。
神會以這樣的方式安排事情，使必須給予的東西會被清楚地給予。
我希望你們懷著這樣的信念，滿懷信心地向前邁進，為全世界提供拯救。
無論如何，我們都是『修行派』宗教。
我熱切希望你們能以「先修行，後修行」的精神，實現活宗教的真諦，明白Mahikari的本質是它不同於任何輕視宗教哲學的宗教組織。

The fundamental practice is to give and receive Divine Light and step by step purify the Spirit, Mind and Body in that order, putting Spirit First.
We cannot take the Divine Light practice for granted. It is the basic of all the practices for Kumite.
Some may take longer than others to awaken to the preciousness of the Divine Light and that spirits truly exist.
Now is the time for 和 Wa [Harmony], which is reflected as a mirror image from the Divine Spiritual Realm, which has attained Wa. [Page 18 of April 2018 SMIJ: We are being informed that in the realm of divine spirits the divine plan has already entered an age of great harmony…. [Wa, 大和諧, great harmony]. It is the Will of Su God.
Our Sonen [innermost attitude] in the physical realm of human beings should be now focused on Wa although it might be difficult for some to forgive others, bear no grudges, have no resentment, no hated, dissatisfaction or complaints.
Some will take longer than others to put all these down, unconditionally, and it has to start with the first step by each and everyone of us, and for us to continue step by step for Wa to be truly achieved.
Let us do our best, me too.

Some asked why kumite have cancer? Why there is no miracle? Why the Divine Light is not effective? Good questions.
[please see full text below]:
quote:
I consider it an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SECRET concerning the occurrence of miracles, for people to change their sonen to try to attune their frequencies [to God] by following the TWO POINTS.
The two points are:
Sukuinushisama said: I humbly understand as a never-changing aspect of God is one function of His precious sonen, namely,
‘GREAT LOVE’
and what God calls
“This is the true practice, MAGYO, of God”,
that is, to practise
[GREAT LOVE] with true sincerity, MAKOTO,
in other words, His character of ‘LOVE AND TRUE SINCERITY”.
God is a ‘PRACTITIONER OF LOVE’ and a ‘PRACTITIONER OF MA’.

On Miracles…..quote:
If things go off this track, MIRACLES WILL NOT OCCUR.
Sukuinushisama said: I have had many experiences where GOD SUDDENLY STOPPED MIRACLES.
That is why I have been serving God with these convictions [reference is to the TWO POINTS above].
These are the important points that are related to ‘REVERSING SONEN.’
.
========
.
From the above two points, reversing sonen to tune in to Su God’s sonen is very important.
Let us say 100 kumite receive Divine Light at the same time, will the Divine Light that is received by all be in the same intensity of penetration and purification, or could it be that it will be based on the ‘sonen change or reversing sonen’of each person, the receiver? Sonen change of each person and the level of sonen change of the person are important.
If all the 100 kumite have different levels of reversing their sonen, would it be possible for all to receive the Divine Light with the same level of penetration and purification?
Would there be any differentiation in level, or no differentiation at all but all are equal and receiving spiritual salvation at the same level even though the sonen levels are different in each person?
Quote: : “I have had many experiences where God suddenly stopped MIRACLES”.
Could it be that Divine Light and the occurrence of MIRACLES would not come to all equally to all because of the different level of sonen reversal by each person?
The Change of sonen or reversing sonen and the level of sonen change could be the most important underlying cause and effect to bring about a receiver’s purification, salvation and MIRACLE depending on the spiritual situation of each person.
Some probably would be disappointed when Divine Light did not work for them as they had expected or that they failed to have MIRACLE of spiritual salvation and spiritual purification.
Did the Divine Light fail them? Or, did their reversing of sonen and their level of sonen change have fallen short, NOT TUNING IN TO GOD’S SONEN?
Only God will know the ‘hidden of the hidden’ in the hearts of humans.
Do we want to make more efforts on reversing sonen and bring up the level in our sonen change or just rely on receiving and giving Divine Light believing that it would be sufficient in bringing spiritual salvation, spiritual purification and receiving MIRACLE?
It will be to each his or her own. Let us choose wisely which path to take.
.
========
.
MYSTERIOUS MIRACLE DOES HAPPEN
There is a possibity mysterious miracle might happen as it is not possible for us to know the sonen change, the level of sonen change, or reversal of sonen of each person and/or the spiritual level of each person.
As we have been told: misogi is misogi, salvation is salvation.
When mysterious miracle does happen, let us offer gratitude and make efforts to elevate our spiritual level by reversing sonen and raise the level of our sonen change even more to tune in to Su God’s sonen.
In addition, let us make increased efforts, not to slacken by raising our hand to radiate Divine Light with our precious Omitama, save and be saved, be of use to Su God’s Divine Plan, and continue with repaying our debts of Gratitude to Su God, our Parent God, our ancestors and related souls.
We cannot be humble enough to Su God and/or when we pray for others.
.
==========
.
Also not to overlook:
The Divine Light penetrates deep to purify and melt toxins, erases spiritual impurities or even solves spiritual disturbances riding and depending on one’s sonen change and the level of one’s sonen change.
The sonen change is equally important and not just the practise of the Divine Light for one to elevate spiritually higher and higher. One should not slacken or make it become a ritualistic practice due to lack of sonen change.
What is sonen change?

Spreading the Divine Principles to all around the world…
Should one spread the DP far and wide or to keep it from others?
Who will qualify to spread the DP to others?
Please read the July 2007 SMIJ:
Page 14: “…kamikumite to unite with God’s earthly representatives to proclaim the divine principles throughout the world.”
Page 16: “Let us proclaim the divine principles to all who are willing to hear, and….”
Page 17: “…proclaim the truth contained in the divine principles and to share the Light of God with others.”
Please read the May 2018 SMIJ:
Page 17: ..promote the practice of the divine principles.”
Page 17: …transmit True Light and the divine principles to those who seek them.”
Page 19: “By enthusiastically spreading the divine principles, we will….”
Page 19: “…rise to become pioneers in spreading the divine principles.”
How should one spread/share the divine principles with others?
1] share the divine principles, but try not to share it like giving a mini primary kenshu;
2] remember that the Divine books, various Divine publications, the 3-level of Kenshu textbooks, the Holy Words, the Prayer Book, the Divine Plan, etc. are available in the public domain all over the world now. It is not possible to retrieve them.
Probably some spiritual leaders in the major religions have the books, and are studying them. Many of them already know the divine principles by now as some might have the books long ago.

–
Sonen change [innermost attitude] is so very important.
I spoke with Doshi after the study class at the Gesshisai Tuning-in this morning on the topic: Sonen change.
I said: giving Divine Light by a 10-year old [even by a blind person] or by an adult is much easier than sonen change.
I said Su God [Lord God] is waiting for all yokoshi, practitioners of the Divine Light, one by one to have sonen change that matches with the Will of Su God, and God’s Sonen.
Sonen change or reversing sonen is tough for many.
The study class cited the case of the kumite who took 10 years to know what to have in achieving sonen change when her family went into severe cleansing. 10 years is a long time to wake up. I hope more and more kumite will not take that long.
We have been told to start from the beginning, step by step to have sonen change.
So long as yokoshi do not work on and make efforts and progress spiritually more and more on sonen change, giving Divine Light by itself will not be enough, and will not be truly effective without riding on better and improved sonen change day by day, step by step, and advancing higher and higher spiritually. It will be like going in circles but not elevating, or moving forward.
But to some, sonen change is indeed hard, and giving Divine Light is much easier. But without sonen change giving Divine Light alone will not do. It will not stop spirit disturbance, illnesses, and cleansing of self or family members.
The fundamental is sonen change as giving Divine Light is so much easier, as all kumite can give Divine Light easily, much easier than sonen change. The kumite with sonen change elevation will be better off than the others who struggle in making sonen change or the reversal of their sonen [innermost attitude] to become positive.
I told Doshi that I have asked myself this topic of sonen change for the past one month, and I said I could relate to the study class on sonen change and was very grateful for it.

Sonen change and our Kotodama [power of words]..
Have our Kotodama improve and before purer compared with five years ago?
Will our Kotodama be purer than five years from now?
This is our own barometer on Sonen Change practices….
====
On 7th Nov 2016, FB reminded me of what I wrote on 7 Nov 2010:
In pursuit of maintaining a pure Innermost Attitude and using bright and cheerful kotodama, power of words, can we change for the better?
I have been asked whether I am humble than before. It was a very direct and personal question on my character. I replied even though I don’t usually do so but I made it an exception.
I am a better person now than before I became a Kumite.
I am a better person than before I took my primary kenshu, a person compared to who I was say 5 years ago, and now who I am, and I am determined to improve even further 5 years from now.
If I don’t improve further, I shall give up being a Yokoshi immediately as it will be a waste of my time and purpose to remain as one.
I have not failed myself so far beyond hope of recovery, and I don’t intend to fail being a better Yokoshi 5 years from now.
My Kotodama and my innermost attitudes are my own barometer to self check.
What I do in this FB will be for all to see in the days and years to come. The past to me is history.
I do not intend to go backward, to go back into a life of darkness, the days when I hated others, and others hated me. It was a life of total madness before I became a Yokoshi. What a waste of my precious time as a human in the past.
I shall continue to offer prayers of apologies to the Creator for all my past madness living a life no better than a beast with no conscience as a human should, unable to put spirit first and unable to look at all things from a spiritual perspective.
I hope all Yokoshi make steady progress in pursuit of the Divine Light and happiness by tuning solidly to the Will of Su God, change and improve their innermost attitude and kotodama day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year.
I shall do my best too.
I pray many will have purer innermost attitude and bright kotodama compared with now and 5 years later in 2015. This is how I intend to make steady progress year by year.
It is a journey that will continue and not end in our pursuit of happiness and it is in our hands to make it happen, either to give happiness back to others or selfishly take from others all the time, and kicking others down along the way.
Many do and many will continue to do so in this world in pursuit of materialism. I don’t wish to as that was my old self.
I shall do my best on improving my kotadama and innermost attitude step by step, inch by inch as a Yokoshi should, and I hope many Kumite will do the same, going forward and not sliding backward. Please do including myself.
I was told that in humility practice one should try not to be the polishing stone as the stone will wear out and get smaller. Be the person to be polished by stones of others. One who is polished by others will get brighter not smaller.
I have learned from this many years back and have been doing my best not to be the polishing stone but to give more Divine Light rather than be a polisher [physical] that could wear myself out.
Giving Divine Light will energise myself and not like a polishing stone that will reduce in size.
Practising humility with gratitude will never short change us. We do not lose, we definitely gain as this is in the Divine Plan of the Creator God.
It is in the prayers of the Creator God, the Lord God, Su, for the love of all mankind.
I do not intend to turn my back on the Creator and I hope many Yokoshi will not turn their backs on Him.
Many have in the past, and I pray for their return.
Many will.
I hope many will choose wisely including me what we intend to be 5 years from now.
It is free choice.

What is Truth? Truth was originally the divine truth. What is the divine truth?
[Humans have to understand this for them able to discern things.]
The divine truth means the principles of God.
The principles of God means to ride on the will of God. It is one of God’s principles that the riding on, the reflecting of, and the transferring of God’s will and power make all existence come into being from the realm of nothingness to the realm of existence [the functions from nothingness to existence].
It is the law that maintains the connection between the realm of nothingness and that of existence by allowing the two realms to exist close to each other in the conditions of interdependence. This is the law that gods as well as all living creatures must follow and ride on.
God makes the things He has created and given a form to go through the cycles of gathering and spreading, separating and uniting. flourishing and withering, prospering and fading, and transmigration and reincarnation.
This law is the unchangeable God-ordained desire for the purpose of fulfilling His divine plan.
There is no path in heaven [not referring to the sky], though humans call it a path and the way of heaven.
There is spiritual wisdom There is no path other than that of spiritual wisdom.
What exists in heaven is only the law set by spiritual wisdom on which all creatures should ride. There is nothing but true wisdom, which leads all creatures to ripening and fruition. The spiritual wisdom of the heavenly law on which all creatures must ride definitely exists.
This arrangement is the eternal and imperishable way, or God-ordained law, or the law of prosperity. This is God’s law.
It is the original law that allows humans and all creatures to breathe, live, and become useful. This is God’s prayer. It is not a manmade law.
No matter how much manmade science may seem to advance, the end of the materialistic world shall come unless gods and all creatures ride on His will in a sincerely accepting manner.
The degenerate age and the age of decadence will come. The age of deadlock will come. Various divine souls and gods will also perish. The time will come when even the gods and divine souls cannot be forgiven if they do not change their ways. Humans should pray so that they can be in harmony with His law. Only then will they finally understand the true faith of directing oneself toward God.
The path of brainless humans is merely a path of selfish human knowledge or that of shallow intelligence. The arrangement has been been set so that it can never become the path of spiritual wisdom.
