What can we learn from going beyond the concept of time? - Hafurimeku on April 27th

Lecturer: Kenji Nanasawa, Representative Director of General Incorporated Association Shirakawa Gakkan
Editor: Parole Editorial Section, Yasushi Ohno, supervisor

Q.
The first G-code seminar was held last Saturday and Sunday, so I’d like to present you with my impressions of it. This time, the lectures could not be carried out face-to-face due to the coronavirus. However, because they were held online and connected the participants throughout the country and Hafuriden, a structure in Kofu City used for Shinto rituals, we were able to effectively communicate, and frequently received questions from the participants. There were many reviews saying that they understood the necessity of activating Aramitama, the rough soul of the five souls. I felt encouraged because many of them told us that they were willing to do something for other people in the current social situation.

A.
The G-code seminar had to be held in a different way than usual. We needed to adapt to the situation.

Great changes have already begun, and their signs are appearing just before our eyes. In this seminar, we presented the five layers of “Truth, Wisdom, Virtue, Joy, and Beauty” in order to clearly show what direction society will be heading in the future and what kind of society we should aim for.

These five layers are expressions combining “Truth, Virtue, and Beauty” in Western philosophy and “Truth, Wisdom, and Joy” in Indian Veda philosophy. To express this in one phrase, it is “the look and emotions of pleasure in knowing the truth.”

As I have conveyed many times, we are entering a full-fledged information society now, so “how to manage time” will become a very important theme. It does not, of course, simply mean how to use time or how efficient it should be used. Emphasis is placed on “How we can go beyond time without being bound by its concepts”.

In order to transcend time, each person needs to be able to practice Chinkon and Genrei(*) at the level of the galaxy by expanding his or her consciousness to that scale, specifically, the sphere where Zokasanshin, or the three gods of creation were born. This involves feeling “the absolute present moment”. If each person can enter this state of consciousness, he or she can be freed from the concept of time and achieve absolute freedom.

This time, the lectures were held by connecting Electronic Shrine and the participants online. It was very successful because I was able to discover things that are usually out of reach.

For example, I found it important for us, in the coming years, to learn how to practice Genrei and Chinkon simultaneously with other people, rather than being able to practice them individually. Furthermore, it was also proven that information circulates like the movement of a Mobius strip between the sender and the receiver of the information, which enabled deep learning on both sides by providing the questions and the answers without a time lag.

Whether the coronavirus occurred artificially or spontaneously has been discussed in various media. However, the discussion itself is irrelevant. This is because, as I mentioned earlier, it is now more important to learn from the viruses than pursue its cause. In other words, if we can learn meaningful lessons from this situation, that is enough. We must not forget that we are now in the midst of a profound transformation in human consciousness, and that we are being tested on our response.

Once learned, society will certainly move to the next stage. The signs of the post-coronavirus society are already visible. I believe it will not be long before the current disaster ends.

In any case, it is a very good thing that the G-code seminar could be held under such circumstances. I am convinced that this seminar was a declaration for the creation of a new era, as we are dynamically shifting from the time of knowledge to the time of the information revolution.

* Chinkon is a meditation method to return life force energy to the dan tien area under the navel and bring the mental body into a meditative state. Genrei represents the spirit of words.
