Here’s a new serve for you, from the first revelation in their bible, Goseigen: The Teaching of How to Perceive God (Kami o omou oshie), revelation at 5:00 am on 27 February 1959 (coincidentally Okada’s birthday). Japanese pages 25–30
Your True Self (SHINGA) is the Divided Soul from God (WARE), the wonderful being which has been originally endowed with both “God-Hood” and “Buddha-Hood.” Your True Self is connected with God's everlasting Great Life Force, and is bathed and living in it. Your souls are in commune with God's Love and the world of Wondrous Wisdom and are receiving His limitless Love, Goodness and Beauty as Heavenly Glory. They are allowed to live and receive His limitless joy on this earth. They are the I (WARE) which contains the True God and the True Buddha eternally vivid, alive and truly existent. You have been polluting, contaminating and clouding your souls throughout the long period of reincarnation and have not yet attained the mind of apology. You have not been aware of the true gratitude and the mind of requital and you have not truly attained the mind to avoid contamination. How regrettable.
God, being the great Love, contains both Great Mercy and Great Strictness as I have revealed to Thee. Therefore, He shows mercy to all, while He solemnly establishes “The Rule of Arrangement in Heaven and on Earth which is God's Principle.” He keeps and lets men keep “The Law” which all creatures and man must “follow” eternally. This is the true nature of God. Therefore, God is Love and at the same time, He is the truth. God regards His children, in other words human beings, as His representatives on earth. Upon the evil deeds violating the Heavenly Law, selfish exploitation of God and betrayal towards Him, He frowns and makes them realize and wishes to correct them. Finally, He cries, feels sorrow and sometimes gets angry. Moreover, in order to let you maintain the eternal life and attain God-Hood, He continues to give those who have contaminated and sinned, the deep cleansing of MISOGI, compensation and purification until they become aware of it. For the same reason, the Warning and Admonishing Phenomena are given to nations.
There is more to add. It can be overlooked that, as if you knew the truth, you have named by yourselves “Heaven's Rule of the Arrangement” as Heavenly Principle, Heavenly Rule, Heavenly Path, Divine Will, Divine Law and so on. However, you should never fail to understand the following: That is, you may gain the realization of eternal life and make the resolution in your mind to live in it by knowing the Law of the Great Arrangement on earth for the life of all creatures since the beginning of Heaven and Earth. In other words, you may become awakened to God's Truth and the Righteous Spiritual Path for you, Human (HITO) to attain God-Hood or the completion of the original goal as His children. With all of the above realizations and awakening, yon have only reached half-way towards the completion of manhood. In the eyes of God, it is only the attitude of loving and elevating yourself and it falls into the category of self-centered and selfish love. You should ponder this level. Why did SU-NO-KAMI create the human at the time of the beginning of Heaven and Earth and what did He want to achieve through the Divine Plan?
This all boils down to:
- Inflation: You are divine, but …
- Deflation: You are polluted, disgusting, sinful and unworthy.
- Dependency: Only God (and by extension, Mahikari) can purify you.
This combination is extremely effective at creating long‑term compliance. Clever fuckers.
