Everyone’s Place July

We are ・looking from the universe. It’s really so. This might be a good method to reset myself when I am not clear or thinking too much! I like “Universe”, but I have desk work and spend much time sitting down. 

I closed my eyes and gradually it became darker and darker then pitch black space. Then my mind was completely empty! Then I opened my eyes, suddenly I saw what came into my sight. Then I started to remember things that I have forgotten. This may be our habits~. If I repeat this over again, I may gradually have more space without thinking! It’s simple but we can do this anytime anywhere. I am going to try it as it sounds interesting.

Ikuko, I had a similar experience, so I understand very well and your story was interesting.

A friend took a photograph of me from behind. When he sent me the photo later, I could not realize it was me.

I thought why did someone send me a photograph of me from behind? But when I stared blankly at the photo, “Seriously? It could be me!”

At that time, I remember my tension drained away from my shoulders.

Oh, I thought I knew myself, but actually I didn’t know myself.

I don’t know half of myself to speak of extremes.

I showed the photograph to a friend and she said “It’s really you.”.

I unconsciously asked her why? But she said “It’s literally you.” 

“Oh-huh!”

When I experienced various things, I have been blaming someone else or on circumstances because it was too hard to take it as my problems. And my being prideful could not accept the fact either. 

However, there is no end to having experience. 

When hard experience continues, and 3rd time ah? “Is it my own problem?” Then I reluctantly start to accept it. 

Everything is in each encounter within myself. Whether it is hard or pleasant. Therefore, we learn everything through our experience.

Sadness

How shall I say, natural sadness and sadness coming from getting hurt by my being prideful. I have been mixing these up.

I have read a book saying there are other planets in the universe that are similar to Earth. I’ve been thinking it is possible.

When I read, “You don’t like this life and die?” I laughed because it sounded like Bob. I think that the family is eventually the ones that help with anything regardless.

Sometimes I feel I had enough, but after all the family is precious.

I am constantly reading your blog and looking at your art. Thank you.

I am enjoying the time of immersing and drawing myself into your energetic art. I repeatedly read your blog, your content reaches directly to my heart. It gives me a chance to look at myself. Thank you.

In your content, there was a phrase “in our society we also need to follow a pre-arranged life”. I exactly was doing it. I married in my 20s, gave birth to two children, and now I am in my 30s. I was made to realize that the reason for me to decide on my marriage was not “unconditional love”, but “conditional love”. It was convenient for me to marry my husband, and I thought If I marry him I can live my life such and such. It did not come from my pure heart. But after I give birth to my children, they brought me and informed me what “unconditional love” is.

I read your story of visiting outer space! It is very interesting! I would like to ask more about it.

I do not think I’ve been to outer space yet in this life. That world is one that I can only imagine. However, I feel that my soul remembers. As I mentioned in my story, I like when I am flying (by airplane, of course😅) over the sky and clouds. How do I say, being closer to the sun and stars, and watching the beautiful sun rise and great the nature of Earth from above, based on how small I am - but I feel like I am connected to the universe. This is the place makes me feel neutral and peaceful. So I feel a lack of energy when I am not flying😆.

I am dominated by money too.(😆)

Monthly payment

Shopping

It’s true

Because we cannot see what’s there in the root

So we cannot even realize that we are dominated 

I wonder what “culture” really means

Lots of tricks of learning

On the other hand, I remember such

When I was at junior high school or high school, I thought rich people are great people. I saw people flatter the rich.

There were not only these people. When I was little, I thought this person who did not have much money was wonderful 

To judge people by money

Is it their real intention?

I wish we can interact with each other based on greater and more profound sense of individual essence, not based on money, status, glory, educational back ground or heritage.

This was the beginning of my trip of my soul.

Your story of money made me remember this

Then how am I living my life now?

Such linkage is interesting.

Ikuko,

I somehow have been looking at your website every day.  I feel so much from your blog. Thank you for posting.

Among all, especially “Humility “was a hit with me.

The truth is that I have many different prideful feelings and brag about them. Also I tend to hide them with a sense of inferiority and act with an air of false humility. Although I know what to do, non the less, I act this way.

I look up to people who are harmonized and they are better. When I read your blogs, you are looking at the fact as it is, but you are not looking up nor looking down on people, you don’t think they are great people.

It was an eye-opening. 

Ah, I have been distorting a part of universe, and I feel sorry. As you mentioned, I decided to be brave to say what I think like the person you mentioned in your blog.

When I was travelling as a backpacker to different parts of the world, I saw many children who were barefoot, sleeping on the streets. I saw many homeless people too. On the other hand, I saw many fashionable people who seemed rich. 

I wondered what to do when I saw homeless people. I thought giving them money will be just a temporary solution that would not be a basic solution to solve the problem.

I was surprised to see the situation of the world and at the same time I have learned how fortunate I am that I was brought up in Japan.

I would also like to use money with my heart. Not paying reluctantly or just because I felt like it. I would like to see if this is really necessary to purchase and I would like to pay money with appreciation. And consciousness and action that must be taken every day!

Good morning~.

Your “Story of Money” was interesting. We are dominated by money without knowing it, aren't we? I am getting closer to learning the truth of  money, but your message moved my heart. Thank you!

No words are necessary

Thank you Mika for taking time to answer my questions, I know you are very busy. After reading your answers I thought I can live because of people doing different work in the world. As you mentioned that we are protected by “wall, ceiling and floor”, I replaced them with different jobs. Because there are different jobs, we can survive. It will be a problem if there are only architects in the world. The difference is “Thank you” isn’t it? However, although we have different jobs, our underlying learning and practicing them, in this aspect, we are no different. You are an architect and I am house wife doing art. We have completely different jobs. But because we are continuously learning and acting based on our underlying themes, we can talk to each other so smoothly from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you so much!
