(Cont’d. from last issue)
It is very difficult to explain the principle of Johrei understandably to people from the viewpoint of the modern cultural level. This can not be helped because the modern education is mostly based on materialism.
The founders of most existent religions worked miracles through literatures and orally. The more well known the religion becomes, the more miracles the original founder worked.
In ancient days, the cultural level of general society was so that the people were satisfied only with the miracles performed and the divine favors which were granted, and they did not attempt to seek any explanation or theorize on those miracles. Should Christ, who worked such remarkable miracles have lived longer without atoning for the sins of mankind, many more people would have been saved and his teachings spread on a wider scale during his lifetime.
It was chiefly because the power welded by Satan was much stronger that the duration of Christ’s mission work was very short. This may be undeniable. Satan was powerful because the time was yet premature by some reason in the spiritual world.
Now, however, the time has come when the greatest revolution in the spiritual world has begun, and the power of Satan is being weakened gradually. We can clearly feel this through out spiritual senses.
I have been able to know through revelation the answers to all the mysteries of the world that have puzzled mankind from the beginning of time. On the basis of such knowledge I am going to realize the Earthly Paradise, an ideal world, by distinguishing between good and evil, investigating the root of the good and the bad, rectifying all the errors in civilization, in correcting the lameness of modern civilization in which only material civilization has progressed, and thus advancing the progress of civilization both spiritually and materially. In regards the above, I shall explain part of the principle by which our followers are effecting wonderful results through daily miracles.
As stated, modern people who differ from uncivilized people or those who lived in ancient times, are apt to be sceptic about miracles though they witness such miracles in their daily lives. They are not persuaded unless such miracles are backed up by theory. The cause of the decline of existent religions is because they deny material civilization and can not give people material benefit.
I shall now explain the principle of Johrei, through which a patient suffering from a most serious illness can be placed on the road to recovery or an unendurable pain be relieved or cured in a short time, by merely shading the effected part with the palm of the hand. No matter how one looks upon it, one can not say other than it is a miracle. There are innumerable instances in which our followers of only a few months, who have had no medical education, have cured sufferers of fatal diseases who had been given up as hopeless cases by their doctors. Such things must be beyond the understanding from the materialistic viewpoint.
Modern medical science is the great achievement of eminent scholars of various countries after studies over hundreds of years. Its theoretically refined method of cure is worthwhile the deepest admiration. However, it is not an overstatement to say that it is a most astonishing matter that a layman can bring about through Johrei, the cure of diseases which trained doctors may not cure. This is a fact that can not be explained by any conventional logic. Therefore, there may be no help for it that people in general can not accept such fact by merely listening to others’ experiences, and regards them as superstitions because what the followers of World Messanity are performing is an event unprecedented in human history.
Such big words as the Realization of An Ideal World Free from Disease Poverty and Strive can not be said without positive confidence. Should one advocate such a thing without any actual ability to perform it, it is to deceive the world and commit an unpardonable sin. However, the abovementioned miracles are not miracles from our standpoint, but they are the logical results of an absolute cause and can be explained scientifically. Now let me explain it in detail as much as possible.

Divine Science of Cure

(Conclusion)
What is the essential quality of the spiritual cloud as stated in the previous chapter? It is the toxic “germs” which have been generated in the spirit of water which man possesses. These germs are so minute that they can not be seen by scientific aids. The principle of how such minute germs are generated shall be explained later in a separate article, so here let me only explain the principle of annihilating these toxic germs through the spiritual power of Johrei.
How is one able to annihilate the cloud or toxic germs in man’s spiritual body through the power of the radio-activity emitted from a human body in the administration of Johrei? The element of the radio-activity is the light-wave which is generated from the spirit of fire, the essence of light. This is the element quite contrary in quality to the toxic germs in the spirit of water. The difference of the qualities between these two elements is like that between Zen (justice, virtue) and Aku (injustice, vice). This light-wave is composed of ultra-minute particles of light and exerts a sterilizing power.
Now let me explain what the essential quality of this light-wave is. The ultra-minute particles which compose the lightwave is a radio-activity from God, and the original source of the divine favours through which our followers are working daily miracles by Johrei. I have known well that non-followers as well as followers have marveled and have been anxious to know the principle by which these miracles are brought about. However, I have hitherto been unable to clarify the principle because the time was then premature, but now that the final moment is at hand. I am obliged to reveal it.
Up to now, the salvation of mankind by the divinities has been achieved only spiritually and the favours of God upon human beings has not been so apparent, because the divine light from God was not powerful enough as it has been composed of the spirits of fire and water only and lacked the spirit of soil.
However, now is the time of the great transition in the spirit world. The end of the world or the Last Judgement advocated in the Christian Bible is at hand. This has made the absolute power of salvation necessary. This absolute power should be composed of the spirits of fire, water and soil, the Trinity power. The spirit of soil means the element of substance in general, and in this case, the human body.
Passing through a human body, the divine light acquires the Trinity power composed of the spirits of fire, water and soil. Thus, the element of light exerted from God appears as the Divine Power by passing through my body and becomes the purificatory power which it is transmitted from me to every follower and emanates from his body through Johrei.
The other reason of the absoluteness in the power of Johrei is this. The great transitional period in the spirit world started recently. In the spiritual world before that time, the amount of the spirit of water had been greater than that of the spirit of fire. However, since the above-mentioned time, the amount of the spirit of fire has been gradually increased, surpassing the amount of the spirit of water.
