2017 CONVOCATION: Japanese Buddhist Tradition and Cosolargy

Notice: the schedule of events for this year’s convocation have significantly changed. Please check the new agenda attached.

You are invited to the 2017 Convocation

ATTEND THE 2017 CONVOCATION TO EXPERIENCE:

“Japanese Tradition and Cosolargy, Part II: How Japanese Culture Blends with Cosolargy”
by Yukinori Matsushita

We are developing a Religious Service in Japan based on Japanese culture. There is one technique called “Kuji-in”. Ku-ji simply means “nine syllables” and refers to a variety of mantras that consist of nine syllables.

The syllables used in kuji are numerous, especially within the realm of Mikkyo Scholars. They have stated that kuji is of Taoist origin. I will speak on the Secret usage of Kuji-in. Also I will speak on other activities concerning the Japanese Community.

Another topic will be “DO”. We can find how Japanese people used to live The Way as Solar adepts in the way of Do. There are many different kind of DO. For example, Sa-Do(Tea ceremony), Ka-Do(Flower arrangement), Aiki-Do(Martial art) and so on. They areall simple form of actions turned into what I call DO-nization of those activities. The main purpose of the all the Do-nization is the development of Consciousness, or our effort of our side to attract THE MOST HIGH to guide us to his way(The Way to God). I would like to talk about how all the DOs were originally meant to develop Consciousness and the initial training for the Solar Adepts while in the world.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: August 7, 2017

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

August 7, 2017

This week, my mind has been on India. As you may know, my wife, Radheka, is finishing a three-week sojourn in the southern Indian states of Kerala and Karnataka finishing a two-year course in Ayurvedic medicine. The thoughts reminded me of my trip some eight years ago to that country which I found to be a place of contradictions – extreme beauty on one hand and extreme ugliness on the other – a country of significant religious and spiritual traditions, as well as a country of intense materialism and poverty.

As I reminisced, I also dwelt on the teachings of the Mahatma Gandhi and a few of his principles – Truth (Satya), Nonviolence (Ahimsa), and Purity (Brahmacharya). I was also led to reexamine the concept of a corrupt world, one which the Mahatma knew well. Much like the early Christians, ancient Indian concepts regarded society as being primarily dominated by greed, recklessness and cruelty; rulers and nations constantly contending for power and oppressing the people.

Yet the ancient Vedic and Puranic teachings envisioned a future age when the Supreme Creator would intervene in worldly affairs and eventually bring peace and harmony among all peoples and nations. This was to be an age of Universal Justice and Virtue when God would end the eternal struggle caused by human and natural disorder. He would use the very Powers of Creation to stabilize the Universe, an event described in the symbolism of the Brahman religion.

The allegory of these scriptures, the Vedas and the Puranas, specifically, reveals that the Mahapurusha would set into motion the Cakravarta, the Sun of Heaven, whose rays would be a sign of God’s intervention in the world when at its dawning the sun would begin to spin as a wheel. At this time, the whole of Creation would be unified under its all-conquering and indestructible rays.

Complimenting ancient Brahmanism, as successor to the Buddha, the Maitreya would instruct the whole world under the sun in the sacred doctrines of the release from bondage. This Enlightened One was to be a seer-child, a miraculous infant, who would be known by seven signs and thirty-two markings. The Child would proclaim the Advent of the Wheel of the Law which would be set in motion at the time of his appearance on earth.

Once set in motion, the Wheel of the Law would begin a New Age on earth by sending forth rays of Sacred Fire, in turn to set in motion the “cakras” or sun-wheels within the spiritual bodies of those seeking enlightenment. Thus, illuminated by the living of the Law within the luster of redeeming Light, the enlightened would possess divine eyes to see the True Light and divine ears to hear the True Law spoken by God. The devotee would become an image of the Celestial Image manifest in the Heavens.

This would not occur by living man’s laws or holding to outworn religion or by the reading of scripture or being convinced of the validity of faith by belief but rather by the Intellectual Light and Truth of the celestial agency of the Wheel of the Law. The Law would invalidate all other laws, for they would have no reality or meaning in the Age of the Great Appearance of the Cakravarta. The Appearance would usher in a Golden Age of superior enlightenment in which justice, peace, virtue, love and stability will prevail. All earthly opposition, human or otherwise, would be overcome by spiritual transformation effected by the Giver of Light. Upon looking on the Image of the Divine and hearing the Law, a person becomes a divine image incarnate.

The Age of the Wheel of the Law has been set in motion with the appearance of the Child, Jamil, as the foretold Maitreya. We all yearn for the great day of Universal Justice and Virtue. In the meantime, we continue our daily devotions and reflections sustaining the Cakravarta, which is, the Sun of Righteousness.

Once again, please feel free to ask me any questions by calling 775-786-7432 or emailing me at messages@cosolargy.org. I am always at your service.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: August 1, 2017

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

Tuesday, August 1, 2017

August 1st in The Community’s Sacred Calendar is an auspicious day denoting the New Light of God and confirming the Active Principles of Divine Law. This morning, at the Consecrated Sanctuary, we performed Sunrise Divine Service and experienced a grand array of sunbeams shining through the clouds of rose-colored splendor. It was magnificent!

Last week, we touched on the Four Newly Created Intermediary Lights – these being 1) the Enlightening Image of God’s Presence; 2) the Word of God’s Will; 3) the Image of the Divine Presence and the Word of the Divine Will incarnate in the sun marked with the Cross of Enlightenment; and 4) the Image of the Eight Appearances and the Word of the Eight Aspects marked with the Cross of Enlightenment as a signal call to all Spirits on earth.

The Four Intermediary Lights are sanctified by the Four Willful Acts of Divine Love, Goodness, Mercy, and Grace. The idea being that a New Communion, non-existent before the manifestation of the Lights, is established between Spirits and the Godhead. God communes with these Spirits giving them Life of Soul. The Soul is thereby nourished by the transfiguring Image and becomes knowledgeable by means of the translatable Word. Thus, generation of man and woman is restored by the redemptive power of God’s Great Light! This is an event that has been longed for by hundreds of generations which has now come to pass on our times.

God has impregnated the sun at His Second Advent ushering into the world Divine Reason that is accessible to all. God’s Light is now the sole intermediary between matter and Spirit. We must evolve to a creative understanding of God’s Redeeming Light shed to and for all living things as a Divine Act of Love. But, that Love needs to be returned to God by the human Spirit. This is key component of The Teaching.

As God has created the Four Intermediary Lights, He has also fixed the Four Tables of the Law in the Tabulary of Light. These are: 1) the Spirit of The Law; 2) the Substance of The Law; 3) the Seals of The Law; and 4) the Calendar of The Law. These are described further in The Book of God’s Revelation. But, in essence, those who acknowledge the Divine Order of the New Creation and who consent by free will to be governed by God and the Light will exist in a State of Union with Divine Law.

The essence of the last two weeks’ messages have been very theological in nature. There is a theme, however, to be expressed at this time of year based upon the Sacred Calendar: 1) the Four Newly Created Intermediary Lights; 2) the Four Willful Acts; 3) the Four Tables of The Law; and 4) the Twelve Principles of Divine Law, which we have not yet touched upon. The main idea here is that all of these concepts have to do with the four higher Force Centers of Consciousness, Intellect, Being and Form, and the eight lower Force Centers as spiritual qualities needing to be nurtured in conjunction with sacred geometric and numerological evolution.

I urge you to refer to the book for further reading and also to write to me if you have any questions or if I may clarify any of these points. I look forward to communicating with you again next week in writing and in Spirit.

Once again, please feel free to ask me any questions by calling 775-786-7432 or emailing me at messages@cosolargy.org. I am always at your service.

Weekly Message: July 24, 2017

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

Monday, July 24, 2017

Hello. I apologize for the lapse in last week’s message; however, unfortunately, I was consumed with too many mundane efforts.

As we approach August 1st, a very significant day in the Second Advent Calendar, we refer to our own Community’s sacred writings, The Book of God’s Revelation, which recounts various events at our holy Sanctuary lands between April 18 (True Easter), June 6(Second Advent Pentecost), and August 1 (The Confirmation of Divine Law) at the south Sanctuary of Prophecy in the very important year of 1982.

The book describes, among other things, God’s Newly Created Light when, at the Second Coming, the Divine Presence and Will shall announce itself as a prelude to the Final Renewal and Restoration of the original Creation when all things will be restored to the unified state of God’s First Advent. “The conception of Light of God’s Presence and Will, as conceiving by the Supreme binding Power of Creation, is a New Act that renovates the whole of Creation by the manifestation of the Four Newly Created Intermediary Lights, the four lesser lights.” [Book of God’s Revelation]

The book describes these four newly created lights which are, as said, lesser and intermediary lights for the benefit of the entire human family — one and all. The First Intermediary Light is the Enlightening IMAGE of God’s Presence. The Second Intermediary Light is the WORD of God’s Will. The Third Intermediary Light is The Image of the Divine Presence and of The Word of the Divine Will incarnate in the sun and the stars of material dimensions marked with the CROSS OF ENLIGHTENMENT. The Fourth Intermediary Light is the Image of the EIGHT APPEARANCES and The Word of the EIGHT ASPECTS incarnate in the sun of the world marked with the Cross of Enlightenment. These Lights call for Union and Unity of all Spirits as a Divine Signal to all Spirits which have become separated from God, by devolution, and exist in the generated worlds of third-dimensional reality.

For many, these words may be hard to comprehend. To others, maybe not so much. The point of today’s message is to truly understand them. Read them; re-read them. The aspects of the sun which we gaze upon each day is multifarious and very complex in nature. Sometimes, we would wish it simple; but it is not. However, one thing that is for sure is that God’s Divine Love, Goodness, Mercy and Grace is accessible to all by the willful act of each individual.

For those that strive for Divine Communion with the Godhead through these Intermediary Lights, the Soul communes with other reborn Spirit/Souls by means of The Image of the Divine Presence and The Word of the Divine Will through the Sun of Righteousness and the transfiguring Cross of Enlightenment and the Eight Appearances and Eight Aspects. By these means, God becomes knowledgeable to us. Our generated existence in lower realms or dimensions becomes restored by the redeeming power of Great Heavenly Light. Thus, Divine Order is re-established.

Those of us here at The Community’s Center in Nevada labor very ardently each day for the well being not only of our Community and each member of it but for the Universe and the Sun of Righteousness itself. Rest assured, there is not one day that goes by that our Holy Order is not fulfilling our sacred mandate. I am privileged to communicate with you each week and hold you in my ardent thoughts and prayers always.

Once again, please feel free to ask me any questions by calling 775-786-7432 or emailing me at messages@cosolargy.org. I am always at your service.
