Byakko Magazine Issue 131

By Byakko Press

The theme of this issue is the rebirth of humanity's divine nature. In "The Sacred Terrain of the Divine Mind," Masami Saionji offers useful advice about guiding our lives in a brighter direction. If we find ourselves caught up in turbulent emotions, she suggests, it is helpful to calm our thoughts and take a deep breath, opening a space in our mind that allows us to make a different, more positive decision. "Where Does Our Sovereignty Reside?", an excerpt from a talk given by Masahisa Goi in October 1963, discusses the origin of our life power and our innate connection with the divine. Also features "The Mission to Revive Our Divinity" by Maki Saionji, "A Perspective of Learning" by Yuka Saionji, and "The Journey to the Rebirth of Human Divinity" by Rika Saionji.

Daily Reflections

by Masami Saionji

The rebirth of our innate divinity means sweeping away all the lines that we human beings have willfully drawn in the pursuit of our own self-centered aims, and re-enlivening our divine nature by connecting directly with the universal divine mind.

dr_design

The rebirth of our divinity is the irrevocable mission that each and every human being has for re-awakening our inner, divine nature. It is a road we cannot bypass.

dr_design

The rebirth of our divinity means coming to our own rescue by bringing our own divine nature back to life.

dr_design

The rebirth of human divinity means each of us awakens to our own divinity and becomes conscious of the dignity of our great, divine life.

dr_design

The rebirth of human divinity means letting our life—a ray of light from the universal divine source that is sacredness itself—shine forth.

dr_design

The rebirth of human divinity is brought about thanks to the existence of divine-minded people—people who are living with their ultimate truth and are conscious of their essential divine self.

dr_design

The rebirth of human divinity means that each and every human being awakens to their own divine nature and joins together in forging a sublime spiritual culture that humanity has never experienced before.

The Sacred Terrain of the Divine Mind

by Masami Saionji

Masami%20magazine%202.jpg Here, I would like to write once again about the essential way of living of a human being.

It is true that, for as long as we live with an earthbound consciousness, the course of our life proceeds according to the set law known as the law of cause and effect. What it means is that, if we constantly let thoughts of discontent, anger, jealousy, anxiety, fear, pain, and sadness dominate our mind, sooner or later those very same kinds of conditions will have to take shape in our life.

In other words, each of us creates our own way of living. Each of us is now creating the conditions that are likely to appear in our future. Our daily life is a series of choices and decisions, made from moment to moment. By ‘choices and decisions,’ I mean the thoughts and emotions that we entertain in our consciousness from one moment to the next.
