Seeing Red

I think, after all those gods and stuff, the core of Mahikari is attaching spirits, or spirit disturbance. They account for nearly everything you experience in your life. Heaven forbid that there are regular, you know, sciencey or logical reasons for anything.

Let’s start with what Mahikari says about attaching spirits in Primary Kenshu:

This phenomenon of a spirit attaching [to your body] is called the phenomena of attaching spirits. The person who is attached by a spirit will come to develop similar conditions as the spirit.

For instance, if a person is attached by a spirit who died of tuberculosis … the person will develop tuberculosis, and if a spirit died of asthma attaches to a person, within about a week or so the person will develop asthma. [pg 18]

---

From the various actual examples I have just given, no doubt you understand by now that whether it is sickness, crime or other unhappy phenomena, we can quite clearly state that 80% is caused by spirit disturbance.

No doubt you will experience this from now on. If there are a 100 people, even at a conservative estimate 80 will be receiving some sort of spirit disturbance.

In modern medicine, however, there is no spiritual research done. Without solving problems to do with attaching spiritis, such as people dying due to warnings from their ancestors, no matter how people look for happiness, it is impossible.

Here lies a basic mistake in today’s modern medicine. If mankind is really to look for happiness, it is first necessary to become awakened to spirituality and discover the way to solve spirit disturbance. So Sukuinushisama [the founder dude, Okada] often appealed to us that it is essential to awaken to the world of spirit, starting with those who have the attitude to do so, and strive to awaken all humankind to this. [pp 29–30]

So here’s how it goes down. Someone dies – happens to the best of us. Maybe they have a grudge against you (you know, from that time when you …). Maybe they have resentment against your grandfather (it’s OK, we all know he was a bit of a dick). Maybe they are in love with you (naaaaw). Maybe they’re lonely. Maybe they’re out for revenge. Maybe they’re a sneaky fox, raccoon or snake (like, the animals, for reals). Whatever, it typically comes down to your karma, or your family’s sins and impurities.

But – instead of toddling off to the astral world to do their training after death, as they should, they decide to hang around. And they do that by attaching to your spiritual body. Like a remora. Only with more spirit stuff, and less fish.

And when a spirit attaches to you, you get whatever ailment or psychological problem they have. So if they died from heart disease, you’ll get heart disease too.

So Mahikari logic says that if you solve the spirit disturbance, you’ll be healed too. Heal and counsel the spirit so it’s no longer angry or out to get you, or in love with you, or whatevs, then it will release you and go back to the astral world, where it belongs. And all the problems it was causing for you will stop. Simples.

How do you solve spirit disturbance, you ask? Good question!

Well.

What do you know. It mainly involves doing a lot of divine service (unpaid labour!) for the group. ‘Saving others’. This raises your spiritual level, and improves the situation for the attaching spirit.

And sometimes you can have spirit investigations if things are really getting out of hand. This is when one of the doshis (priests) or kanbu (senior staff) gives you Light to the soul spirit (forehead) and talks directly to the attaching spirit during the session. So you have your eyes closed, and they are chatting away to the spirit. They ask it questions like what is it, where did it come from, does it have resentment or love or anger etc towards you, and which part of the body is it attached to.

Sometimes the spirit will make you move, like rocking back and forth, or shaking your head. And they can speak. People report they can suddenly speak another language like Japanese (a popular option) even though they don’t know Japanese! Because the attaching spirit is Japanese (again, a popular option), and is speaking in its own language. I call fucking bullshit. I experienced this, many times, and one time had a Japanese warrior ‘attached to me’. Yes, I spoke Japanese to my inquisitor (who it must be said was speaking English) and all I said was the basic Japanese words I already knew like ‘Yes’ and ‘No’.

At least they are trying to understand and counsel the spirit, to help it give up emotional and physical attachment to you. They aren’t about banishing it. So that’s nice.

In Primary Kenshu they go through a list of all the different types of diseases, and what causes them. Yes! It’s mostly attaching spirits! Surprise! And the rest is caused by toxins. They love toxins. Just a reminder, all medicine is toxins.

The following is typical advice about whatever ailment you care to name:

Women’s Problems:

As for Okiyome, give Okiyome thoroughly on the back and front of the uterus. Also, such things as anteflexion of the uterus, miscarriage, stillbirth, uterine cancer and so on are mostly caused by an attaching spirit with resentment concerning a man-woman relationship. Such resentment from a man-woman relationship may, for example, be if grandfather had had a mistress but left her to die in misery. If things like that happened such spirits become resentful and attach to people. There are many cases where it is due to something that happened with the ancestors about 3-5 generations or so ago. Or it may have something to do with the husband or the wife at the present time.

In such cases, it's necessary to reflect on one's life, and if there's anything that indicates such mistakes, it’s first necessary to apologise saying, 'I won't do anything like that anymore, please forgive me', and receive Okiyome. Otherwise it won't do any good.

Whether it's something to do with the ancestors or oneself, it's important actively to save people to erase such sins. As you save others, your own impurities will be erased and you'll be saved. – Primary Kenshu, pg 117

You might notice the big focus on saving others. Big focus. That means hunting for new members. Constantly. So, to solve the problems that the cult ascribes to attaching spirits, you need to do masses of divine service, and try to get others to join. Convenient (for them).

Also. Attaching spirits can also cause traffic accidents, and interfere with your divine service! No, it’s not your bad driving or your gut telling you you’re in a cult. It’s spirits. The subject for further blog posts. Stay tuned, and til then, be kind to your attaching spirits!

Thought you’d enjoy this gem from Mahikari’s Goseigen (bible), a short extract from THE AMBIGUOUS DELUSION CALLED TRUTH BY HUMANS (SHINRI TO MŌSU AYAFUYA MEISHIN). Revelation at 5:00 A.M. on August 10, 1960 (Japanese Page 143)

Do you know the true meaning of the KOTODAMA of SHINRI (truth)? Do you know why truth (SHINRI) is written in this way (真理)? No, no. You do not even know the reason why I deliberately made it difficult to be understood. The time has come when I shall let you understand. Your truth (SHINRI) is actually the pseudo-truth (SHINNYO). The time for discernment has come. This is why Gautama and Jesus did not give a direct answer to the question concerning the truth.

The truth (SHINRI 真理 ) was originally the divine truth (SHINRI 神理 ). What is the divine truth ( 神理 )? Do thou understand? Even the discernment of each word has not been clearly made. The divine truth is the Principle of God(KAMINORI). “The Principle of God” (KAMINORI) is what God travels on (KAMINORI 神乗り ). God's Will and Force travels in and penetrates. It gives birth (UMUU) from nothingness (MU) to the Existence (U) with the divine power of MU U. It also keeps nothingness (MU U) and existence (U) connected and interlocked with each other and combines the two together. By combining the two and making them attracted to each other, it allows them to exist in reality. Such is the Law (NORI) or to travel (NOR I 乗り), in other words, the Law on which God and all should travel.

You do not even know why they made it deliberately difficult to understand. Do you?

I suspect this could be a regular feature here, cos the Mahikari teachings are solid gobbedlygook.

Here’s a delightful sample to get us started, from Happiness of New and True Hito [human], in the Mahikari Bible, Goseigen, Revelation from 12 November 1963

There is a word “extraordinary.” An extraordinary man, who looks extraordinary, is an ordinary man. Extraordinary ordinariness, which looks ordinary, is true extraordinariness. A true one, who is sent by God, has an extraordinariness, which appears ordinary, so that no one can recognize that he is overshadowed by God. If he does not recognize this himself, he is a true one. One who is extraordinary and becomes arrogant is an ordinary man. Even though god may descend upon him, he is only a messenger god. God overshadows one with extraordinary ordinariness whom no one recognizes as the one to be overshadowed by God. A truly Great God (OHOKAMI) is so great that He can descend only upon few people.

If you didn’t understand this, then you are clearly not of a very high spiritual level, which is what you need to be to comprehend the depths of the deeply deep divine meaning. So read it over and over and OVER and then OVER AGAIN.

Go on, I’ll wait …

Mahikari has an interesting attitude to – well, a *great* many things – but their thought-terminating clichés are pretty top notch. Don’t ever be angry, or else you’re poisoning yourself and wrecking your family. Always be smiling and bright. Always smiling Yōkōshi. There you go. Just have that running through your head constantly, and you’ll be just fine.

The following is from the Primary Kenshu lecturer’s textbook (pp 80–81), to be read verbatim to victims I mean new recruits:

Human beings also generate poison when angry.

That is why those who lose their temper lose out. This is why the lifespan of short-tempered people is short. It is because in such people's bodies more poison is generated than in other people. So, such a person accumulates a lot of poison in him during his lifetime.

If a person becomes impure it is necessary for God to clean his cells to let him achieve his natural lifespan, so a major cleaning will occur.

In other words, he'll get a major illness. So from now on everyone, please remember that if you get angry, you'll lose out.

If your mother gets angry at you, just think “Oh, I'm really sorry, she's generating poison because of me. I must give her Okiyome later”. But if you tune in and respond angrily, “What do you mean!” etc., you also generate poison and therefore you also must receive Misogi, so both of you lose out.

Between husband and wife, if the husband loses his temper, his wife shouldn't lose her temper as well but remain smiling. Yōkōshi no Tomo don't get angry. Just laugh all year round like “always smiling Yōkōshi”. So, in olden days people used to say “Happiness comes to a house of laughter”. Well, they said it very well, I think. Because there won't be Misogi, happiness will come.

To complete your natural lifespan you must acquire a calm, harmonious, peaceful mind.

My slightly deranged ‘it’s not a fish’ explanation of God’s cleaning/misogi harahi is over here.

Yōkōshi no Tomo = Bright / sunlight people in Mahikari speak.

Did you know you have a guardian spirit? And they have some ‘behind-the-scenes’ helper spirits too. Cos it’s a lot of work looking after you. Fuck, you’re annoying.

Your guardian spirit is of a spiritual level a little higher than you. So this means they can see into the future a bit, cos it’s like they’re on a hill, and you’re on the flat bit. Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? So many many assumptions here …

Aaaanyway … it’s important to realise that your guardian spirit is arranging things for you. They go off and chat with other guardian spirits, get them to arrange for their humans to come to your new shop, arrange for you to get into that swanky college, stuff like that. And they make their plans happen by changing what you’re thinking and deciding to do. Let’s see what Mahikari’s first initiation course (Primary Kenshu) has to say:

No doubt you've all had experiences such as “I just happened to think of ...”, “I just noticed”, “I felt like” or “My hunch was right”. All this kind of thing is due to such arrangements [by guardian spirits].

So, amongst such cases where people think of something or expect something to happen, in fact there are many cases where the people are made to think or made to do these things.

If a person thinks that it's all because his brain is superior or because of his special ability, sooner or later he will fail.

[My emphasis added.]

The big takeaway here is that sometimes your thoughts and ideas are not your own. Your guardian spirit is making you think and do things 😐

Now, there are levels for these things. Naturally. Cos it’s not quite fucked up enough to take on board that your thoughts and actions aren’t always your own. Also, don’t go thinking that you’re clever.

If your guardian spirit is of a low level, like in hell, you won’t be able to escape living in poverty all your life. They can’t see very far into the future, there’s not a lot of nice hills for future-looking for guardian spirits suffering in hell. Maybe just frozen lakes. And they don’t give a shit.

Oh they’re going to miss the train, because there’s a gaping chasm in the footpath? Meh.

But if you have a high level guardian spirit, well, then you’re set! They can see 2 or even 3 years in advance, cos they’ve got a nice high hill to look into the future from. They can make sure you meet the right girl or boy. They can make sure you back the right horse, buy the right stocks, get the best deal.

So, how can we leverage this ‘spiritual truth’. Oh I know … how about this:

Furthermore, the degree of one's activities will differ depending on how high or low the rank is of the spiritual level of the guardian spirit.

Taking the physical world, it shows up as a broad range of acquaintances of the person.

Well, it's better to have a guardian spirit of a higher spiritual class protecting you. Then what is the relationship between a person and his guardian spirit? It is according to the principle of balance all the way.

That's why ultimately it is important to elevate one's spiritual level.

Translation: Do a lot of service for Mahikari 🙄 [My emphasis added to that last line. Cos fuck them.]

Now,  if a person becomes purified step by step by practising the Righteous Path directed towards God (Seihō Kamimuki) his spiritual level will  be elevated, and accordingly, his guardian spirit will  be elevated as well.

When the rise reaches a certain level  and the person's guardian spirit hasn't enough ability, the guardian spirit will change to one who is balanced with the spiritual level of the person.

A person in such a case is called a fortunate or a happy person.

So offer a lot of Divine Service to the cult. But even if you elevate, and help out your guardian spirit, at some point the poor bugger is going to be left at whatever their ‘maximum possible level’ is, and you get to swap up.

In psychology this is called mutation.

Is it, though? 🧐

I think we need some warnings now, to bring home the point and add a bit of fear indoctrination:

In the opposite case, if a person with a nice life in the physical world and who has a good guardian spirit, for instance, does all sorts of bad things, sooner or later the red [spiritual] part will go downwards and fall. Then somehow at some time God will change his guardian spirit to one whose sōnen [innermost attitude] is rather low.

In this way the power of your guardian spirit has an extremely important relationship with you, so it is essential to purify your spiritual condition both by purifying each other with Okiyome [Light] after receiving Mahikari Omitama [holy pendant], and by reversing your sōnen progressively.

Translation: Do a lot of service for Mahikari. And be scared 😐

Then, as a result you will rise in spiritual level and we are taught that there will be a change of the guardian spirit in balance with the spiritual level to which you have become elevated.

Translation: If things in your life get worse it is very much your fault, and it is evidence that you have been very very bad. Also, your thoughts and actions aren’t your own. So … your guardian spirit is making you do shit, but also at the same time your thoughts and actions can elevate them, or bring everything down. But, your thoughts and actions are being influenced by your guardian spirit. But you can do bad things and make their level go down, through your own thoughts and actions …

Have fun with that particular logical inconsistency. Confusion is what cults depend on. Just tell members it’s incredibly high level spiritual revelations that they might understand when they are ‘elevated enough’ (ie fucking never) 😒

Mahikari members are called kamikumite (kah-mih-koo-mih-tay), which means 'hand-in-hand with God', or kumite for short (koo-mih-tay).

They are generally lovely people, but there's a barb in the tail. These folks are all about being helpful, and have been trained to look for the painful (ie vulnerable) areas of your life (are you lonely, unwell, poor, recently bereaved, recently unemployed, generally stressed and in a bad place? Wonderful.) They will target their message accordingly.

There are a few things that will identify a kumite in public. They almost always wear their special badge, called a goshinmon (goh-shin-monh). It looks like this, and is worn on the left side on the upper chest, near the shoulder:

Unless they're swimming or playing contact sports (including sexy times!), they will be wearing their omitama, the pendant that gives them God's protection and channels the 'Divine Light'. You won't be able to see it, because it's wrapped in lots of layers to keep it dry and safe, and it's pinned into a pocket in their underwear.

They wear a strong necklace chain that is long, and leads to the pocket inside their clothes (so it doesn't swing free outside of their clothes).

The most basic form of this chain is the simple ball chain. Depending on people's means, they may have fancier chains, but they will always be strong. No light delicate necklaces here. That omitama is more precious than your own life, so you'd better put it on a strong chain!

Anyone wearing a bra will usually have the omitama pocket inside their bra, either on the left (spiritual) side or centrally. Adults and kids (from age 10) who don't wear bras will always be wearing a singlet or undershirt of some sort. The omitama pocket is sewn into this garment, either in the centre of the chest, or on the left side.

Women are guided not to wear black, generally, and the usual religious exhortation about modest outfits.

So, the main visible things to look out for are the Mahikari badge, a long sturdy necklace tucked inside clothes, and people who always wear an undershirt.

Plus, they're always smiling, and nothing is bad. And they're really nice and helpful (which sucks, because they are usually genuinely lovely people on the whole, but misguided and victims who have become unwitting perpetrators).

And one of their hands is often cocked at an angle (surreptitiously giving Light whether you want it or not). If they offer to give you Light, politely decline. Or go on, be rude ...

Mahikari promotes the “true ancient history” of Japan — Japan is much much more ancient than any “so-called archaeologists” and “scholars” have determined using, you know, science. The actual earliest known Japanese pottery dates from the Jomon Period (14,000 BC to 300 BC).

However, they want to prove the Japanese are much much older, to prove they were the first humans on earth, the original race, which all others came from.

It is the original place where God created spiritual forms and spiritual images of all with the Art of Mu-u (from nothingness to the existence with power). He placed O-bito (the King race [the Japanese]) here and dispatched all five races throughout the world as branch races.” — Goseigen, “Mankind, Make your spiritual origin clear”

They especially want to be proven to be older than the Chinese. This isn't a desire just within Mahikari, either.

In 2000, amateur archaeologist, Shinichi Fujimura, admitted that he had been planting pottery fragments in really fucking old (like 600,000 years old) layers of earth for years, and then “discovering” them. Before his confession he was said to have “god's hands” because of his “uncanny” knack of finding these super ancient find (ie the stuff he'd buried), and proving that lo and behold! the Japanese were making this cool pottery 600,000 years ago, and bam bitchez, they're much older than the Chinese!

Oshienushiama (the second leader of Mahikari) gleefully reported these findings in 1996, saying they proved the ultra ancient history of Japan:

In recent years, the discoveries of the Zazaragi and Babadan sites in Miyagi Prefecture have shown that Japan's palaeolithic age began more than 100,000 years ago. These findings have forced scholars, who had argued against it, to accept the existence of such an early palaeolithic period for Japan.

Furthermore, in 1994, a surprising discovery was made at the Kamitakamori site, also in Miyagi Prefecture. Splendid stone tools from the palaeolithic period were found in strata dating back all of 600,000 years, which is 100,000 years earlier than the appearance of Peking man. — Oshienushisama, A Major Turning-Point in the History of Humankind, 5 October 1996

But if she was really so damn holy, she would have known these were a hoax. Surely Su God, who sees and knows everything (apparently), would at least have given her — His one true representative on earth — a bit of a heads-up? But no, seems she was just operating from plain old “useless human knowledge”, like the rest of us.

A lot of Mahikari's teachings focus around the process of cleaning our spiritual, astral and physical bodies of all the disgusting sins and impurities that currently pollute everything about us. It's a rather confusing topic, so I've made this ridiculously oversimplified ~~fish~~ diagram to help clarify things.

Still confused? Don't worry, Mahikari has a lot to say about Misogi Harahi. A lot.

Here's a basic definition from the Primary Kenshu (initiation course):

Concerning Misogi Harahi, true Misogi Harahi is “removing the impurities of the spirit and opening the yang spirit”. In the Divine era “spirit” used to be called “Mi”, and to remove impurities of the spirit, that is, to scrape off the impurities, was called Misogi.

Some more from Kenshu:

In other words, if you have committed sins and impurities in your previous lives, they'll return to you and you'll receive suffering phenomena in greater measure. This is called Misogi. If you haven't compensated in the astral world for the sins and impurities you committed in your previous lives through your reincarnations and transmigrations, you must compensate (aganahi) for them in the physical world. This is called “aganahi”. As it says ... “sins and impurities of ancestors spirits”, unless the ancestors erase their sins and impurities, these sins and impurities will enter their descendants. The sins and impurities of your ancestors will come into you.

In the same way you yourselves have impurities. Therefore, if you have any disease or illness, any kind of continuous suffering or turmoil, disasters that go on and on, that is, if unhappy phenomena are happening to you or your family, it means that impurities are now being shown like this because in your previous lives you yourself or your ancestors made other people suffer, or harmed or killed them. And such sins and impurities have accumulated.

Maybe some teachings from their book of holy words, where Su God is speaking directly to Okada (the founder), will help?

The earth is contaminated fully with spiritual poison, producing a foul scent in the Divine Realm. The very time is approaching when I cannot but carry out the great MISOGI-HARAHI of this earth. Do humans recognize a means to stop this chaos with their intellect and power? Unfortunately they do not. They will end up being blown away.

What about these?

Nowadays there are too many in the human world who are controlled by evil spirits. Therefore, due to my intensifying the Divine Light, the compensation phenomena will become more serious and widespread. Many souls in the three worlds of the Divine, Astral, and Physical will begin to feel uneasy, thus, “the Age of anguished resistance (AGAKI)” shall come. Consequently, in the human world, chaotic and aberrant phenomena will ceaselessly increase. Thus, NINGEN will continue to create the cause of twofold and threefold sufferings and plunge into agony. This is, indeed, the self-inflicted suffering. It cannot be avoided since the great spiritual cleansing (MISOGI) has started. They do not realize until I cleanse them. They must be forced to go through compensation (AGANAHI) with the Power of Spirit and Fire, unless they realize this by themselves and start making voluntary compensation (AGANAHI). Otherwise, they cannot complete the cleansing to develop the Positive Spirit (HARAHI); and furthermore, they cannot bring about the positive world of pure spirits (AKANAHI) forever.

Or this?

You may well think that God takes cruel action; however, it is not so. It is a manifestation of God's Great Love for eternity that the Arrangements have been set by the Law to let them end up in such a result. To begin with, these Arrangements had begun to be planned and set in motion at about the end of the creation of Heaven and Earth, that is, around the time when God began to create HITO. Therefore, it is not an arrangement that has been and will be able to be made by NINGEN who is so vain and conceited as to say, “God has been made up by NINGEN.” On the contrary, he will eventually go rampant in accumulating sins toward the Celestial World (AMATSU-TSUM1) and the Terrestrial World (KUNITSU-TSUMI) and leaving the negative karma to his descendants. Besides, he, himself, will have to go through suffering for hundreds of years in the astral world; and his bereaved family and descendants will have to suffer from worry, distress, and calamity in this world until their compensation can be completed. Thus, both of them have to go through the cleansing (MISOGI) together. It is due to God's “necessary evil” that is the goodness in MAHAYANA (in the Light of God).

Any clearer?

Anyway, here's how you compensate, according to Primary Kenshu:

Even if you say you haven't done a single bad thing ever since you were born into this world, still, if the impurities from your ancestors have not been completely erased, these impurities are transmitted to you. Therefore you need to have Misogi, that is, to scrape off the impurities of the spirit. And if you don't have aganahi, you can't become a bright spirit. Well, the point is that one's life will be completely different depending on whether one goes through aganahi willingly and actively or receives it passively.

With passive compensation the impurities committed must nevertheless be scraped off. Therefore, if a person killed someone or something like that previously, he would have to have a major accident, for example, and have his leg amputated and suffer for the rest of his life with a disabled body. Or he may have to have a horrible face injury, and by living the rest of his life with an ugly face, going through a lot of insults and shameful experiences, he continues to apologise and pay for the sins he committed. Or, he might have to suffer from, say, cancer or be paralysed from stroke and so on.

Then there follows a bunch of stories about how kumite who were destined to have serious accidents to erase their sins and impurities ended up just having minor accidents instead, because they offered divine service.

In this way, major disasters change into minor ones, and minor disasters change into no disasters at all. In other words, if a person devotes himself wholeheartedly to serving God, that is, continues compensating actively, he will erase his impurities. Even though he is receiving the same compensation, the suffering will be rather small. Well, after this kenshū I hope you'll become involved in active and willing service for God.

So there you have it, folks, the divine arrangement for changing major disasters into minor ones, and minor disasters into no disasters at all.

In case you don’t notice, I am fucking furious. F U R I O U S.

I just came across this teaching in the Primary Kenshu (what they now call the Spiritual Development Course). It’s in the section about sins and impurities common to all humankind. This is a screen shot of the actual document that the lecturer is instructed to read 'exactly like a parrot’. I’d forgotten it.

So. God created your body and it was perfect. The highest object of art. (Evolution has actually created a human body that's lucky to work, or else God's design is a bit shit and He meant that.) And if you do anything to it like sticking needles in it (injections, vaccinations, piercings, shock horror TATTOOS) it’s defiling God’s art, God’s property! That’s YOU, by the way.

Now, if you have had any surgery, that causes massive sins and impurities from wounding God’s physical body property (that’s YOU).

Needless to say, if one has a surgical operation, the sins and impurities are even greater.

NEEDLESS TO SAY?

If you needed surgery as a baby — A BABY — you accumulated great sins and impurities. If you broke your arm and needed surgery, you accumulated sins and impurities. If you needed your gall bladder removed, or cataracts removed, or a skin cancer removed, or an emergency heart operation, or a Caesarian to save your baby, or anything surgical done at all — yep, you accumulated massive sins and impurities.

How. Fucking. Dare. They.

The surgery might have been inevitable, and necessary to save your life, but you probably needed the surgery because of your family’s horrendously deep sins and impurities. But having the surgery adds the debt back on.

They also say that going through suffering, like illness (untreated by ‘so-called medical science’) is cleaning, erasing your sins and impurities.

This is the worst sort of manipulation and fear indoctrination. What an evil way to ensure your followers are certain of their deep sins and impurities and the ‘debt they owe’ your 'so-called God’.

How many of us have got through life without a single needle, without a single scalpel cut, let alone without a piercing or tattoo? Oh, practically none of us?! Well isn’t that convenient?! That's everyone in the room, then.

The first time you hear this you’re sitting in the primary course, all keen to absorb their 'special teachings', trying to accept what you’re hearing. Being told to be obedient. And you will quickly discover that you are shameful, defiling yourself without even knowing it, and have to start with an ‘attitude of apology’ otherwise God will not save you! Let’s create shame and guilt from the very start!

This makes me sick. This is the lowest of the low. Utterly. Disgusting.

Recent teachings about immunity from the Third Oshienushi (Koo Okada, the third dude on this page):

Immunity refers to the power to overcome when bacteria or viruses invade the human body. A sincere prayer and the art of True Light strengthen the immune system. Also, the heart of altruism could improve one’s immunity.

Well fuuuuck 😱 That's one way to approach the COVID pandemic, I suppose. Sincere prayers, True Light bollocks, and the heart of altruism.

At least he says “could”, not “will”.

Mahikari are known for being anti-vaccination. How many of them are vaccinated against COVID, hmmm?
