     People in general do not understand the more profound aspects of energy, so I write about them here. Defined in a scientific way, energy can be described by the principle that to the degree that visible energy has form, the weaker it is, and the more invisible it is, the stronger it is. In other words, in the former type, the limitations are measured in units such as horsepower or kilograms, but with the latter, it is infinity. As with human thought, the invisible has awesome energy. As all recognize, with the energy of a great human being, even moving the world is possible.
     The above pertains only to the human being, but expanded, there is the energy of God. The energy of God can also be explained scientifically. The energy of God is what science refers to in the particle theory, and in this system, the spirit of the human being is the elementary particle and the spirit of God is the infinitesimal particle. Of course, the higher the divine status of the deity, the degree of the infinitesimal particle becomes higher, so it loses density. Thus it should be understood that even in mechanical terms, the more elementary the particle, the weaker it becomes and the more infinitesimal the particle, the stronger it becomes.
     In accordance with this principle, Shinto has the concept of the secret within the secret and of the infinitesimal mystic mystery, and these words and phrases are apt expressions. Accordingly, the divine energy that has been bestowed upon me is divine energy of the highest level, so it would be fair to call it unqualified energy. Someone who could truly manifest this energy has not yet appeared. The facts show that, although a delicate topic, even the energy of Jesus was relatively weak. The miracles of Christ were his own and he could not extend that energy to his followers. Facts show that other sacred and holy persons as well had only limited energy.
     At this point I will write a little about myself. It would be fair to say that the scale and strength of the energy that I transmit is infinite and unqualified. The energy that is now being used is only a part of the energy being manifested which is astonishing to those who have become familiar with it. Believers of course know, but even the most earnest believers only understand a small percentage of the energy. Needless to say, the time will come for the energy to be totally manifested, so even believers will be dumbfounded. Thus, there is a need to gird the loins from now. With only the energy that I am yielding now, I can form human beings who are able to cure disease, explain how to increase agricultural production, and give birth to miracles that prove the actuality of God. I am also directing the construction of earthly paradises and art museums on a large scale which are only preliminary stages that will gradually expand on a global scale to become heaven, so from now on God’s true energy will become known.
     There are more aspects that I would like to share in detail, but even what I have just stated will be impossible to believe. This subject is a divine mystery, so in response to a particular point in history and as time progresses, only small parts will be reported. To summarize, the world will become as the one described in the prayer Utterances of Virtue, Words of Praise. One matter I would particularly like to make clear is that when the time arrives, there will be enough energy to eliminate the greatest conflict of all, war between nations, so please be assured.
