When Spirituality Is Rejected
In light of issues surrounding the former Unification Church, it is likely that more people have shown a rejection or resistance toward spirituality.
From a spiritual perspective, this may also be seen as inevitable, but it is a thought-provoking phenomenon worth reflecting upon.
It may seem slightly contradictory, but in the spiritual teachings influenced by Silver Birch, there is a message from higher-dimensional beings indicating that, at present, some religious organizations may be causing harm in terms of the soul.
This is not about claiming which side is right or wrong.
As discussed multiple times in this blog, the growth of the soul and the growth of knowledge come from each individual realization, and similarly, the growth of spiritual rank—the growth of the heart—is also based on each awareness from the heart.
When spiritual rank increases, a person’s presence strengthens in a mental sense, their creative power to fulfill the hearts of others rises, and the more heart-centered realizations they gain, the broader their perspective becomes in perceiving things spiritually. This is not a complicated matter; it is essentially about becoming spiritually mature.
Low Spiritual Rank
Having a low spiritual rank means that, in a spiritual sense, one’s presence is weak. Such individuals tend to prioritize their own desire to have their hearts fulfilled over fulfilling the hearts of others. Because they have fewer heart-centered realizations, their perspective in seeing things spiritually also tends to be narrow. This is not a complicated matter; it simply means being spiritually childlike.
When spiritual rank is low, a person’s presence is weak in a spiritual sense, stress is more likely to appear, and the energy seeking recognition can manifest as social harm such as slander, child abuse, bullying, moral harassment, “monster parents,” toxic parenting, stalking, and violent crime.
From a spiritual perspective, the growth of the soul is considered important. While this does not apply to all religions, religious organizations that share the same values are more likely to inadvertently create limitations or harm in terms of soul growth.
For example, the former Unification Church has been reported to criticize followers who try to think for themselves, emphasizing that the words from above are absolute. Moreover, questioning the organization may lead one to be viewed as an outsider.
Similar accounts can be found from former members of Soka Gakkai. For instance, Daisaku Ikeda, considered the highest figure in Soka Gakkai, is said to “see everything,” but some experiences lead one to question whether that is truly the case.
While not absolute, it seems that many followers of religious organizations practice their faith with the religion itself as a purpose rather than as a means. Because their ability to think independently is weak, even when they encounter doubts, they tend to respond with words that seem copied rather than generated from their own thought.
I myself once encountered a Christian recruitment attempt and, out of curiosity, asked various questions. The responses suggested that one would be destroyed by Satan, described in a manner almost like a young girl’s vision. It was a striking experience showing how strong people’s convictions can become, even as adults.
The growth of the soul and heart-centered realizations are absolute laws in the natural world; no other method exists. Animals also grow into adults by recognizing the lessons and guidance from their parents. Naturally, to raise a child, one must be spiritually mature.
In Japan, education tends to value only each individual piece of knowledge. There is also a societal tendency to equate higher paper test scores with higher personal value. While not true of everyone, this can make low spiritual rank more prevalent.
Because low spiritual rank comes with a narrow perspective, it is understandable that spirituality may sometimes be perceived similarly to organizations like the former Unification Church. Spirituality is a newer value system in Japan, so recent events may increase the tendency for people to reject it.
However, the values of spirituality are necessary for the natural world, and eventually, there will be people who come to recognize and embrace those values.
