About this ebook
This issue features "Quest for the Self," a previously unpublished chapter from Masami Saionji's book "The Principle of Effect and Cause," in which she discusses the importance of self-inquiry, a path of seeking out the meaning and purpose of our lives, rather than sacrificing ourselves by means of our physical death. Also features "Training Called Everyday Life" by Yuka Saionji, "The Path Our Spirit Is Seeking" by Rika Saionji, and an interview with author and therapist Blake Sinclair.

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 essence of a human being is not the physical body, but the inner soul—the divine consciousness—that resides within the body.
dr_designHuman beings may appear to be separate from one another, but in truth we are firmly joined together by vast, invisible, unfathomable threads of light from the Universal God, and our lives are maintained and enlivened just in accordance with divine law.
dr_designThe lives of divine-minded people are not blown about by the circumstances that appear in front of their eyes. Instead, by using their own free will to make choices and decisions, and by accepting their responsibilities, they are building a radiant future that is beyond the ken of the human intellect.
dr_designEven if blueprints for the future have been drawn with the low dimensional consciousness that has continued up to now, divine-minded people have the remarkable power to redraw those blueprints at any times.
dr_designEach positive word that you speak, each positive effort that you make—no matter how small—brings healing to your life and spins the fibers of world peace before you are aware of it.
dr_designAct as soon as the inspiration strikes. In that moment, any time spent waiting or hesitating is a loss.
dr_designWe must never hand over our own sovereign authority to someone else.

Quest for the Self
by Masami Saionji
We are pleased to share this chapter from Masami Saionji’s book The Principle of Effect and Cause (English publication pending). This chapter was adapted from a talk given in August 2001.
One time in my life, I was swept away with a feeling of love and the desire to tightly embrace every single human being in this world, without exception. I felt this power of love—a power that transcends all—rise up within me, condense, and spread out to the ends of the universe.
Even now, this moment comes vividly back to mind. Suddenly, and to a surprising degree, the power of love flowed out from inside me and erupted. It was a mysterious power, brimming with sacred wisdom.
That was the moment when I awoke to my heavenly mission.
