    About this ebook

    Humanity is on the verge of a turning point—a moment of dawning when the ultimate truth will roar like thunder upon all humanity. This reverberation of ultimate truth will surely shake humanity’s sleeping souls, wakening us from our sleep. This is what our souls have been eagerly waiting for, through long cycles of existence starting before we were born in this world. The instant these vibrations reach our ears, people will receive a strong shock; their bodies will tremble, their souls will overflow with delight, they will awaken to truth, and will instantly experience a transformation in their lives. – Masami Saionji

      Living in the 21st Century - Masami Saionji

      The Creative Power of Words

      Address to the World Conference on Culture of Peace and Sustainability: Citizenship and Global Governance (a global e-conference based in Brazil), August 2010

      brush-stroke

      Greetings from Japan! I am Masami Saionji, and I am so grateful and so happy to have this opportunity to speak with you today.

      What can each individual do to create peace on earth? How can each individual take action?

      Do you know that you possess the most powerful tool on earth for creating the future? Do you know that, with this tool, you can create war or peace, health or illness, richness or poverty, happiness or misery?

      You are using this tool every day without even realizing how much power you are wielding. Perhaps, by now, you know what power I am talking about!

      What is this power that will drive the world into either light or darkness? Yes, you are right. It is the power of words!

      Since ancient times, Japanese people have believed in the creative power of words.

      Words are alive.

      Words have the power to create.

      Words attract people.

      Words motivate people.

      Words contain miraculous powers.

      Words have the power to influence.

      Words are infectious.

      Words also have sharp edges.

      Words can bring either good fortune or bad.

      Every person on earth, without exception, is able to choose words and use words at will.

      Words can enliven and words can also kill. Words can give hope, or plunge us into despair. People use words to build peace and they use words to make war.

      The words we choose and the words we speak have the power to create a world beyond our imagination.

      Words are life.

      Words are energy.

      Words are power.

      Words are truth.

      We believe in the power of words. Words can create walls between cultures, religions, and nations. And words can also build bridges.

      The lives of an individual, a family, a community, a country, the world, and our planet are led to good or evil by the power of the words that we choose and speak.

      The words we speak are responsible for everything that happens in this world. We must therefore be responsible for the words we speak.

      You may have at one time or another seen the words May peace prevail on Earth on stickers or Peace Poles. These words are widely recognized in countries the world over, with many world leaders supporting our world peace movement.

      The words May peace prevail on Earth include ourselves and those we love, and also those we hate: criminals, and even terrorists. They include all living things on earth—animals, plants, minerals, water, air, and the earth itself.

      These words are an expression of infinite love. They are light, energy, power, and wisdom. Through these words, our message of love flows through the world. All we have to do is to keep speaking these words so that each one of us can find happiness.
