      Byakko is a Japanese word meaning ‘white light.’ It is the clear and free-flowing light emitting from the deepest and highest condition of a human being. This publication is for people who wish to call forth this pure light in their daily lives, letting it create a bright future for humanity and the planet Earth.

      Daily Reflections

      by Masami Saionji

      The key to forging a bright future is to change all our thought-habits into steadfast, unconditionally bright ones.

      dr_design

      Originally, our life is meant to shine brightly, but our feelings of stagnation, entrapment, and helplessness turn it into something dark. The cause lies in our feelings of dependence and disbelief and our desire to give up.

      dr_design

      If only we hold an unshakable belief, our hopes and dreams will absolutely turn into realities.

      dr_design

      The majority of people are still living in misery, hypnotized into thinking that more money will bring them happiness.

      dr_design

      Unwelcome incidents are signs of good things to come. They are stepping stones to happiness.

      dr_design

      By talking about our grand dreams, we give birth to bright hopes, and give ourselves the ability to change our reality.

      dr_design

      In joy, in happiness, in gratitude, there is no judgment.

      One Drop of Universal Life

      by Masami Saionji

      Recalling Our Oneness with the Divine

      Masami%20magazine%202.jpg A drop of water from the ocean that evaporates into the atmosphere completely forgets that it was once the ocean itself. Having taken the form of water vapor, and then turning to clouds, snow, or ice, it has separated from the ocean and falls under the illusion that it is living in its own unique world. It can no longer feel the slightest sense of unity with the ocean. However, when this drop of water falls into the ocean once again, it remembers that its true essence is one and the same with that of the ocean.

      In the same way, we human beings are, in essence, the universe itself. However, after we came to this world, we completely forgot that we are each a ray of universal divine light that is connected with the universal divine source. Our oneness with the divine runs through our being, and all of us have inherited the divine qualities of unlimited love, wisdom, life, intuition, infinite ability, joy, and the infinite power of accomplishment. All these qualities are registered in our original DNA.

      We intuitively perceive this truth in the depths of our infinite soul, but at the physical level it is not well understood at all. The common assumptions, fixed ideas, and preconceptions we have built up over a long period of time have kept us from being able to sense it and manifest it, and as a result, our lives have been fraught with worry, fear, and distress.

      Nevertheless, a growing number of people around the world no longer perceive any fundamental difference between themselves and the universal divine mind. In other words, they have awakened to an inner sense of oneness with the divine. Through methods such as prayer, INs, harmonious breathing, and kotodama (the creative vibrations of divine words), they are able to freely commune with and receive infinite light and energy from the universal source.

      These divinely conscious people are capable of controlling and utilizing this light
