Visitantes da Bolívia conhecem o projeto Planeta Azul

O Projeto Planeta Azul da Fundação Mokiti Okada - FMO recebeu nos dias 08, 09 e 10 de março, um grupo de visitantes da Bolívia que vieram conhecer o projeto e todos os setores que abrangem a instituição FMO. A equipe visitou uma escola e um programa social, ambos participantes das atividades do Planeta Azul.

Com intuito de implantar o projeto no país, o grupo de bolivianos formado pelo professor Javier Oscar Iraola Marroquin, pela secretária Carmem Alicia Abez de Justiniano e pela administradora Paola Daniela Iraola Verduguez acompanharam todo o processo de implantação do projeto 2010 na Escola Estadual Chácara das Corujas e no Programa Gotas de Flor com Amor.

A Escola Estadual Chácara das Corujas, localizada na zona sul de São Paulo, é participante da iniciativa desde 2004. Muitas experiências vivenciadas pelas crianças já foram publicadas na revista Planeta Azul. A diretora da escola Maria Pereira Sobrinho afirma: "O Projeto ajuda na aprendizagem, pois os alunos passam a se interessar mais pela leitura e pela escrita já que se interessam muito pelos personagens", disse ela.

Durante a implantação na escola, as crianças envolvidas no projeto contaram o que estão aprendendo como os bons sentimentos que devemos ter pelo próximo, além de relatarem suas práticas altruístas com os amigos, familiares e professores. Os visitantes da Bolivia apreciaram a dedicação dos alunos em recebê-los e se emocionaram diversas vezes com as demonstrações de carinhos com apresentações musicais e homenagens às bandeiras do Brasil e da Bolívia.

A equipe também esteve no Programa Social Gotas de Flor com Amor, localizada no bairro do Brooklin, que oferece atendimento às crianças carentes a partir de 6 anos, adolescentes e famílias da região sul de São Paulo. O Planeta Azul foi implantado no ano passado e tem colaborado com o objetivo do Gotas de Flor com Amor que é de preservar o espírito de cidadania das crianças mesmo em situações de risco social, resgatando seus valores e mantendo as fora das ruas.

Nombre: Silvia Alicia Ayllón Seminario


Mi nombre es Silvia Alicia Ayllón Seminario. Tengo 25 años y dos hijos de 7 y 3 años de edad. Conozco la Iglesia Mesiánica desde que tenía 16 años por medio de mi familia.

Hace cinco meses mi madre junto con mi tía y mis primas que son miembros, me animaron a acercarme a la Iglesia pues estaba pasando por una depresión muy fuerte, la que en realidad se manifestaba desde que era niña, presentando actitudes de querer lastimarme, de hacerme daño. Llegaba al punto de tomar pastillas y en una oportunidad tomé más de 50. Otra forma de lastimarme también era pegándome a mi misma.

Esta depresión se vio originada de alguna manera por la separación de mis padres y por la nueva relación de mi madre con su pareja, que me llevaron a ver escenas de mucha violencia, maltrato e injusticia, lo que despertaba en mi deseos de golpear y pensar en el hecho de arrojarme de algún lugar o simplemente hacerme daño.

A todo esto se sumó la relación que llevaba con el padre de mis hijos. Él empezó a tomar demasiado, desaparecía de la casa, algunas veces por dos días o más. Los engaños y mutuos maltratos me hicieron tomar una postura de mucha indiferencia e irresponsabilidad ante la vida, al punto de no prestar real atención al cuidado de mis hijos. Salía, tomaba y ya había generado en mi familia la impresión de que no estaba haciendo las cosas bien. Sentía deseos de cambiar pero no encontraba una salida a todo esto. Para mí la vida no tenía mucho sentido, sólo quería estar en la cama ahogándome en mis problemas.

El primer día que vine, pensé en no hablar, por lo que escribí en unas hojas todo lo que sentía, pero en el transcurso de la entrevista fui sintiendo el deseo de querer abrir mi corazón y contar todo lo que me venía pasando, recordando escenas duras, desde mi infancia hasta la actualidad.

Fui orientada entonces a recibir mucho Johrei, tratando de ser perseverante con esta práctica para saber lo que Meishu-Sama podría hacer por mi. Además, fui orientada de la relación que tenemos con nuestros antepasados, pues todo lo que me venía sucediendo tenía mucho que ver con ellos. Recibí también una explicación sobre la Práctica del Sonen y la importancia de empezar a realizar el encaminamiento de todos aquellos antepasados que se manifestaban a través de las distintas sensaciones que surgían en mí.

Así empecé a poner en práctica todo lo que me orientaron. Recibía Johrei en la Iglesia, en casa de mi tía, participaba de los cultos mensuales de agradecimiento, oraciones de antepasados y también en las reuniones de Johrei de la zona.

Paralelamente realizaba la Práctica del Sonen de Encaminamiento. Encaminaba todas mis sensaciones, de angustia, desesperación, tristeza, agresión, violencia y depresión. Así mismo, encaminaba todo lo que veía y sentía en las personas que estaban cerca a mí.

Todas estas prácticas me fueron llevando a sentirme mejor. Poco a poco comencé a tener el fuerte deseo de que mi vida fuese más tranquila, mis ganas de salir fueron disminuyendo naturalmente, y pasé a querer estar más tiempo con mis hijos. Así, mis estados depresivos se volvieron cada vez menos frecuentes.

Después de un tiempo de realizar estas prácticas, comencé a purificar con dolores de cabeza de forma muy intensa y persistente durante dos semanas, y mis ojos empezaron a lagrimear, sintiendo además que la cabeza y los ojos me quemaban. A esto se sumó, un dolor a la altura de la boca del estómago y seguidamente un proceso de diarrea.

Por esos días, fui invitada por los jóvenes a participar de una dedicación de limpieza el sábado víspera del culto de agradecimiento y al concluirla, me di cuenta que el dolor y el malestar habían pasado por completo. Siempre escuchaba que los jóvenes tenían dedicaciones pero ese día pude comprender la importancia de ellas y de cómo ofreciendo nuestro tiempo a Dios, a través de la Luz que se genera en ese momento, Dios actúa.

Luego pude comprender que aquello fue un proceso de limpieza que mi cuerpo necesitaba pasar por tantas pastillas que había tomado.

Antes de esto, ya había experimentado algunos cambios, sin embargo siempre cargaba las pastillas, aunque no las tomaba. A partir de esa dedicación tomé la decisión de no llevarlas más.

Cuando pensaba en todo lo que me había sucedido, me sorprendía al recordar mis reacciones. Para mi todo ya no era tan duro, no era tan trágico, era como si mi visión de las cosas hubiera dado un giro de 180 grados. Entendía mis problemas como purificaciones y en varias oportunidades manifesté que sentía como si algo o alguien hubiera salido de mí, pues me sentía otra persona y las decisiones que tomaba eran más firmes. Empecé a sentir verdaderas ganas de vivir, y al pensar en las actitudes que tuve hasta ese momento y en los cambios que sucedían, pude realmente sentir como el Johrei y la Práctica del Sonen me estaba salvando.

Así mismo, fui orientada a sumar a mis prácticas la del Sonen de Altruismo. Escogí empezar con el baño de mi casa. Lo limpiaba con el sentimiento de que mi hermana, mi hermano y mi madre sean felices. Como resultado de eso, mi hermana, que tiene un carácter fuerte, empezó a estar más cercana a mi, hasta incluso más cariñosa. Mi madre también se quedaba feliz con mis gestos de amor en la casa. De esa manera pude confirmar mi deseo de querer hacer felices a las personas, por lo que nació en mí el deseo de recibir el Ohikari. Mi madre, al ver mi cambio, acompañó todo mi proceso, frecuentando la Iglesia y realizando también la Práctica del Sonen. Mi nueva postura comenzó a ser notada por mi familia y pude sentir que ya no tenían la misma impresión de mí. Y esto los está motivando a llegar a la Iglesia, al punto que ya hay quienes quieren ingresar al curso para futuros miembros.

Ahora cuando veo a otras personas con actitudes similares a las que yo tenía antes, siento el deseo de encaminarlas, o simplemente de hablarles de la Iglesia y del Johrei. Y así lo vengo haciendo, actualmente dos de esas personas están frecuentando la Iglesia.

Hace una semana tuve el permiso de recibir el Ohikari junto con mi madre, ahora mi compromiso es hacer felices a las personas, por eso debo seguir adelante pues aún siento que necesito aprender mucho más y cultivar cada vez más la práctica de mejores acciones.

Agradezco a Dios, a Meishu-Sama y a mis antepasados por el camino mostrado.

Agradezco también a quienes estuvieron cerca de mi orientándome, a mi familia, en especial a mi madre que me apoyó, a mi tía y a mis primas que me encaminaron a la fe y a todos por compartir esta experiencia conmigo.


Muchas Gracias

History

The Life of Mokichi-Okada (Meishu-Sama)



Mokichi Okada (Meishu-Sama) was born in Tokyo in 1882. The latter half of the nineteenth century was a time when the tide of Western civilization was surging through Japan, transforming it from a feudalistic country to a modern state, and bringing new ideas in philosophy, fashion, and technology.

When he was just a child, with his sights set on becoming a painter, he entered the Tokyo School of Fine Arts (now the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music). Due to frail health, however, he had to abandon his goal midway, but not before learning the maki-e technique of lacquer ware, thus familiarizing himself with traditional Japanese design. In 1907, he embarked on a jewellery venture, functioning as both designer and entrepreneur; he became successful to the point of making a name for himself in the jewellery business.

Even at this early stage of his life, Okada expressed great concern for people in need, extending financial support to those in difficulty, and repeatedly contributing generously to social welfare concerns. Further, his desire for social justice prompted him to look into the possibility of publishing a newspaper to help rectify social inequalities.
In 1919 Okada was struck by the cruel lash of misfortune in the loss of both his wife and child. During the early 1920s, as a result of the Great Kantô Earthquake and the economic crisis that it precipitated, Okada suffered enormous financial burdens, and his jewellery firm also fell upon difficulties.

Okada had originally believed in pragmatism, which is generally based upon the principles of materialism. However, faced with repeated hardships, he came to revise his principles, believing that God and the existence of the spiritual world in reality do exist, and that they constitute the true nature of the cosmos.

Having opened his eyes to the fact that this world is God's creation, his days were filled with wonder and delight at each new revelation and discovery, and at the manifestation of the divine world, until eventually he came to be blessed with direct divine guidance. Through these divine revelations, Okada learned that the divine world is in fact a manifestation of the life force of the universe--the power that also governs the patterns of nature and the regular courses of the heavenly bodies.

He was also made aware that it was his mission to alter the course of humankind — to date characterized by civilization's deviation towards materialistic values — and to create a new civilization. This new civilization would reflect harmony between the material and the spiritual, and would realize true welfare for humankind.

The change in Okada's philosophy accompanying this transformation was not simply based on intellectual theory, but on a personal experience of the existence and power of God. However, he did not abandon his strong belief--developed during his adolescent years, when he was first drawn to the pragmatic philosophy propounded by William James, among others--that philosophy must be implemented and applied in everyday life.

Okada was now secure in the knowledge that civilization was destined to undergo a great transition in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, moving toward the creation of a true civilization beneficial to all humankind. In 1935, Okada took his first step toward this goal with the founding in Tokyo of a new religion, the Japan Kannon Society (known today as Sekai Kyusei Kyo). The reason for establishing a religion as the central organ of his operations lay in his underlying view of the spiritual nature of the cosmos, upon which rested his concept of recreating civilization. He stated that the existence of the spiritual world was a necessary antecedent, and that this spiritual realm in itself was fundamentally religious in nature.

Nonetheless, because Okada's ultimate objective was to create a new civilization, his activities inevitably transcended religion, coming to encompass the full spectrum of human endeavours. Unfortunately, however, for ten years his efforts were in effect blocked by the ideological regulations imposed by Japan's military. But in 1945, with the conclusion of World War II--and the freedom of thought and movement that resulted--Okada moved his base of operations from Tokyo to Hakone and Atami, and launched his full-scale activities for recreating civilization.

The new civilization that Mokichi Okada (by this time already kindly known by his followers as Meishu-Sama meaning “Lord of Light”) strove to establish was to be rooted in the safety and health of all humankind. These were to be promoted through research and widespread implementation of Johrei, and through Nature Farming (see related pages in our website). In addition, Meishu-Sama was convinced that enhancing people's awareness and appreciation of beauty and the arts would subdue humankind's brutal and savage tendencies, and he believed that beauty and art would be very highly esteemed in the coming civilization. He therefore devoted himself to developing a doctrine that would encourage the development of a mutually cooperative and beneficial relationship among all things.

Meishu-Sama then created gardens on the Society's grounds in Hakone and Atami (the Sacred Grounds), and initiated construction of a museum to serve as an oasis of beauty. He then began to collect superior works of art from Japan and other oriental countries. In 1952, the Hakone Museum of Art was completed, with he himself taking office as its first director. Another project involved purchasing 36 hectares of land on the outskirts of Atami for establishing a Johrei clinic and an experimental Nature Farming plantation.

A point of note with regard to this period in Meishu-Sama’s lifetime was his dedication to committing his ideas to writing, publishing them in his own newspapers and journals, or compiling them into books. In this way, he strove to enlighten others.

His love of and respect for art prompted him to compose about fifty-five hundred ‘waka’ poems (regarded as one of the most fundamental cultural arts of Japan), and to complete more than seven thousand Japanese-style paintings, and nearly one million works of calligraphy.

Mokichi Okada passed away in 1955, at the age of 72, leaving the construction of the new civilization in the hands of his followers. He firmly believed that the twenty-first century would be the era in which would be born humankind's ideal of a civilized world, marked by peace, beauty, and artistic qualities. He foresaw, however, that the dawning of this new civilization would be preceded by an unavoidable period of social instability and confusion throughout the world, arising from the fall of materialism. Concrete examples of this are readily apparent today in the form of environmental destruction, declining standards in agriculture, the many problems concerning human health, and the chaotic confusion of world affairs.

Nonetheless, His ideas have become the heritage of many who are empathetic to his philosophy and activities, and his plans have been steadily brought to realization in the years since his death.

The Doctrine of Meishu-Sama

Introduction

Meishu-Sama is the Founder of Izunome Kyodan, a spiritual organisation whose purpose is the establishment of Paradise on Earth, a world free from disease, poverty and conflict. The Doctrine of Meishu-Sama encompasses all aspects of human life. Two of the most essential points of Meishu-Sama’s Teachings are:

1 – Every single human being, with no exception, has a Divine Essence, a Divine Particle bestowed by the Creator which constitutes the primary spirit. Therefore, we are all representatives of the Supreme God in this world.

2 - We, who live in the present day, are not beings that came from nowhere, with relation to nothing. In truth, we represent the synthesis of hundreds or thousands of ancestors in the end of this chain. Indeed, we are living now on this earth because our ancestors passed on the force of life from generation to generation. Our ancestors are the roots of a tree, and we, their descendants, are the branches and leaves. We receive the invisible life force and nourishment from the roots. Branches and leaves prosper when the roots are strong and well-nourished. Our ancestors’ spiritual growth and elevation is the key to our own welfare and happiness.

Furthermore, our ancestors are connected with the ancestors of all those who are alive in the planet, which means that the individual exists together not only with his/her family, friends and acquaintances, but also exists together with all people who are alive in this planet and their ancestors too.

The understanding and practice of the above Teachings are fundamental to the establishment of paradise within the individual’s own heart.

Johrei

What is Johrei?

JOHREI is the name given to the channelling of a spiritual energy or Divine Light to purify one’s spiritual body and awaken our divine nature. In Japanese, Johrei means “purification of the spirit”.

Johrei is not merely another technique to be applied for the healing of physical ailments. Its main purpose is to awaken the soul to the power of the Divine Light, which can change self-centred lives into God-centred ones. Johrei is an action which brings about spiritual fulfilment and true happiness on Earth.

The purpose of Johrei

The ultimate purpose of Johrei is to create paradise on earth. But on a smaller scale, paradise must first be created in our homes and families. For that to occur, we must create paradise in our own hearts.

The world is made up of peoples who form countries. Countries are made up of cities, towns, and villages. Cities, towns, and villages are made up of families. Families are made up of individuals. To create paradise, if the individuals who constitute the basic unit cannot be helped, there is no way to help the entire world. For example, if one takes a single family as a model of the world, when the family achieves a paradise like state and is helped, so too may the whole world be helped.

How is Johrei practiced?

A typical Johrei session lasts from 10 to 30 minutes. If needed, the session can be prolonged. The person who channels the energy is called the Johrei "channeller". The one who receives the energy is the "receiver". The distance between channeller and receiver varies from 1 to 3 feet. During a typical session, Johrei is firstly channelled to the front and then to the back of the receiver.

Who can channel Johrei?

All who have experienced results with Johrei can become Johrei channellers after going through a Foundation Course and receiving the "Ohikari" (Sacred Focal Point). Johrei can be channelled to anyone, anywhere and at any time.


In Meishu-Sama's own words:

"When the channellers give Johrei, they are not offering cures to those who are sick, and their main intention is not to cure the illness itself. They only act to transmit the Divine Light, which will purify the recipient's spiritual body and cleanse it of its spiritual clouds. Once the spiritual body is purified, illness is automatically cured as a natural consequence."


"The purpose of Johrei is not to effect physical healing. Johrei is an action which brings about spiritual fulfilment and true happiness on Earth… sickness is a form of purification and the real cause of sickness is clouds on the spiritual body, which are dispelled through that purification"
