Daily Reflections

by Masami Saionji

Words and actions based on unconditional love, with no trace of selfishness, are the very embodiments of the universal divine mind.

Words and actions based on unconditional love, with no trace of selfishness, are the very embodiments of the universal divine mind.

If you calm your thoughts and devote your mind completely to prayer, what seemed to be the most grave and frightening problems will turn into something insignificant.

From now on, it will be important for us not to be controlled by bad habits like our blind belief in precedents or in the notion of limitation, always trying to justify ourselves and always playing it safe. Instead, we must live flexibly, believing in the infinite possibilities and drawing them forth.

Even the most trivial experience will later become an important ingredient of our ‘self,’ and it will also become part of humanity and the universe.

God exists all around us, and also resides within us. Each and every human being is fully embraced by God, and holds the full power of God’s presence.

by Masami Saionji

We are pleased to share this chapter from Masami Saionji’s book The Principle of Effect and Cause (English publication pending)

Masami%20magazine%202.jpg Everything we need to carry out our entire lifetime is already woven into our genes. Artistic talent, wisdom, good health, prosperity, good fortune, and many other amazing qualities and faculties are clearly programmed into each and every cell of our bodies. As we live in this world, understanding this truth is the most important and most valuable thing each of us can do.

From the moment of our birth, everything we desire, hope for, and aspire to is already part of us. It is by drawing forth our innate wisdom, health, talent, ability, and all our wonderful qualities during the course of our life and demonstrating them in this world that we are able to lead a dynamic, fulfilling life. These resources cannot be found by searching outside ourselves, nor can anyone give them to us. They cannot be received from God or from heaven, either. They already exist within us, clearly inscribed in our genes.

The extent to which we are able to draw out these innate qualities during our life will determine the course of our future. Success or failure, prosperity or decline, health or illness, happiness or unhappiness—all of these phenomena are brought about through our own doing, and we cannot curse or
