Japanese mental state and the mental state of Islamic State

□
The teaching “Thou shall not kill” is not literally telling you “not to kill”.
It is saying that when you reach a certain state of mentality you don’t kill or steal.
It is guiding you to attain such a state. That is the true message of this teaching in light of wisdom.
If I ask in my seminar class in Japan, “Is there anybody who have killed someone?” everybody laughs, which means, “That is impossible!” Japanese state of mind is not to kill people.
This is very important. (This is just to make sure but criminals are excluded.)
□
However, it is different in Islamic State.
“Killing people is good and to be praised FOR JUSTICE.”
It was also different in Japan 70 – 80 years ago.
We called the opponents “brutal America and Britain”, and even women and children were trained to kill with bamboo spears under the name of the Great East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere or the name of the country of god.
For justice, “It is OK to kill. Killing is to be praised.”
All wars occur for justice and the human race enters into such a mental state.
You can do anything for justice. You can kill people for justice.
In Islamic State, where people seek a revolution and a war for justice, their state of mind is ok to kill people.
□
Newspapers and TV commentators do not understand this fact.
If we really want peace, we should understand that there is a cause and effect to be seen in this kind of incidents that there is a state of mentality that does not kill people, and the state of mentality that kills people.
That is the point to be made clear and to be communicated.
It is time for the human race to break free from the spell that “it is OK to do anything for justice, it is OK to kill people for justice.”
It is time to proceed and evolve as a species.
□
And here lies the big reason why Japan serves as the bridge to the new higher dimensional world, why the renaissance of the galactic civilization starts from Japan, the country of the rising sun.
If I ask in the class “Is there anybody who have killed people?”
Everybody laughs and says. “That is impossible!”
How about in other countries?
The U.S. – Yes.
Britain – Yes.
France – Yes.
Iraq – Yes.
“Is there a murderer here?”
You’d probably laugh in Japan because it’s impossible.
But if we start to export weapons, that means there will be people who raise their hands in Japan, too.
□
Let us think of the sorrow of Mr. Goto’s family and pray for the repose of Mr. Goto.
□
If we, as Japanese, want peace,
when two Japanese hostages had been taken since last year and no means had been taken to free the hostages, the fact that the Prime Minister went to Israel without considering their release diplomatically is unthinkable.
Diplomacy is to make a communication with understanding of other values, what they think and what their justice seeks.
If their values are the same as ours, there would be no need for diplomacy.
The action of the Prime Minister of Japan shows that the Japanese government lacks the understanding about the mentalities of the countries under war like Islamic State and the meaning of their justice.
I truly feel powerless to the diplomacy of Japan.
We must avoid the way to retaliation.
We, the Japanese, must follow in our hearts the path to peace for the evolution of the earth.
All Japanese must recognize the path of evolution.
□
Let me repeat:
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
If I ask in my class, “Is there anybody who have killed people?”
everybody laughs, which means, “That is impossible!”
Killing people is not in the Japanese mentality.
I would like you all to take the importance of this matter to your hearts.
===============================================
□
But it is different in Islamic State.
“Killing people is good and to be praised FOR JUSTICE.”
In Islamic State, where people seek a revolution and a war for justice,
in their mentality, it’s OK to kill people.
□
In most of the countries in the world, some people raise hands to the question.
“Is there anyone who have killed people (in war, for justice)?”
In Japan, we laugh because it is impossible.
But once Japan starts to export war weapons, there will be people who will raise their hands here, too.
I want you to recognize the danger for Japan and the earth of heading toward the ultimate immorality.
Now is a big moment.
Whether we will follow the path to the peace,
or we will take part in producing the mentality that allows killing people for our justice.
We are at a dividing point.
It’s time for us to make a choice.
How many countries are in the state of mentality that does not kill?
Is there anyone who has killed someone for Justice?
The U.S. – Yes.
Britain – Yes.
France – Yes.
Iraq – Yes.
Japan should not follow the path that allows doing anything for the justice of the country.

I heard that a discussion session with experts
“to reflect the 20th century and plan the role of Japan and the order of the world for the 21st century” will be held
as a forerunner of the talk on the 70 years after the war by the Prime Minister Abe Shinzo this summer.
I want you all to recognize that we are the country that is in the state of mentality that does not kill people.
