Living Like the Blue Sky

By Masahisa Goi

During the 1960s, Japanese philosopher Masahisa Goi gave hundreds of informal talks to small groups of people, on topics ranging from personal matters to broader issues like peace on earth, spiritual development, the structure of the universe, and life after death.

This book highlights five talks that focus on living life with a big heart, a calm mind, and a free spirit—in other words, living naturally. In his gentle way, Goi Sensei gives us the key to this way of living, so that everyone can live like the clear blue sky.

Masahisa Goi

Born in Tokyo, Japan, on November 22, 1916, Masahisa Goi was a poet, philosopher, writer, and singer. Though he aimed at a career in music, he found himself spontaneously drawn to the realms of philosophy and spiritual guidance. At the age of 33 he attained oneness with his divine self. From that time on, he endeavored to reach out to people by holding informal talks, where anyone was invited to participate and ask questions. He enjoyed this direct contact with people, and provided many with spiritual guidance toward the attainment of inner peace.Mr. Goi authored more than 60 books and volumes of poetry, including God and Man (his first and most fundamental work), One Who Unites Heaven and Earth (an autobiography of his early life), The Spirit of Lao Tsu, Essays on the Bible, How to Develop Your Spirituality, and Catch the Light, to name a few. Translations of many of his works are in progress.Based on the universal prayer May Peace Prevail on Earth which he advocated, Masahisa Goi founded a worldwide movement of world peace through prayer, transcending religious, ethnic, and political boundaries. Before departing from this world in 1980, he named Mrs. Masami Saionji, his adopted daughter, as his successor and leader of the world peace prayer movement that he initiated.
