Cover of the Japanese edition of Jamil: Child of Light
The Cosolargy Institute in Japan (CIJ) recently completed several new translations of Community books.
CIJ began offering the 24-month program Academy Symposium to the first group of Japanese students on February 2, 2010. The first group of Japanese student finished the 2 year program “Academy Symposium” in 2012. A while later, the Japanese Community prepared to publish Japanese editions of several books related to Cosolargy.
Since 2012 was the 50-year cycle after the appearance of the Sun of Righteousness in1962, the Community in Japan thought it was a very good time to begin publishing these books for the public in the year celebrating the 50-year cycle. They started publishing the following year, in 2013.
Because the Institute of Cosolargy Japan is prohibited from any business transaction, in order to protect our teachings Cosolargy Japan consigns, publish, and distributs all Japanese edition books through E-Ma. Sound Corporation, which is the sound therapy company of Bishop Yukinori Matsushita.
The first book published by the Japanese Community was Project X: The Search for the Secrets of Immortality. The publication of this book was followed by a second book, Jamil: Child of Light, and a third book, Prophecy of the End Times. All these books represented the physical body, the psychic body, and the Light (Spiritual) body in various ways.
The Community if Japan picked publication dates for these books that were connected with the author, Gene Savoy Sr. For example, May 11 was his birthday and August 8th was the first time he spoke about Cosolargy in public to the people in United States of America, and the anniversaries of these dates were used as dates of publication.
Marie Momoi, a professional translator, is also a Japanese student of Cosolargy, and it is she who translated two of the books recently published in Japan, Project X: The Search for the Secrets of Immortality and the The Lost Gospel of Jesus.
Bishop Yukinori Matsushita, translation supervisor, made some valuable comments in the foreword to the new Japanese edition of the The Lost Gospel of Jesus. A translation appears below:
Japan is making big social changes as the Tokyo Olympics approach in 2020. It might be God’s blessing that we are able to publish this book in this time. The story of Jesus is not quite familiar in Japan. Here Christian churches are looked upon as places where people can study in English or hold a Christmas Service or study a little bit in Japanese about the Bible. But we can find stories about Kobo-Daishi or Prince Shook that are similar to the story of Jesus. Kobo-Daishi preached about “Sokushinbutsu,” which can be interpreted to mean, “the possibility of creating a Buddha body while alive.” Jesus also said, “Unless a man be born again of fire and water, he will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” So we can find commonality between both stories.
Originally the teaching of Jesus Christ was a teaching of Light — walking in Light, living in Light, or living The Way to enter the Worlds of Light. But these teachings were given orally and do not exist in written form because these teachings are paradoses, prohibited to be told outside the school and never to be printed. This book, The Lost Gospel of Jesus, provides an explanation of the paradosis teaching. There is a book called The Child of Light written about how this teaching came into the this world at this time. I recommend reading The Child of Light if you are interested.
The translation of the present book, Lost Gospel of Jesus, was very difficult because there is not much information about Jesus in Japan. But translator Marie Momoi researched very carefully and found much information through her efforts. I am very grateful for her hard work and determination. The original edition of The Lost Gospel of Jesus: Hidden Teaching of Christ was written by Gene Savoy Sr. in 1978. This book gave great inspiration to people to seek the teachings of Light in English-speaking counties. I hope this Japanese edition of the book conveys the true teaching of Jesus to Christian seekers in Japan looking for truth in this modern age.
