Excerpt from Author
“Perfect synchronization inside and outside…. perfect order coming out. In order to have this you must be able to perfectly synchronize, actually become one with what you are meeting.
So, we must be able to harmonize this way with the a priori world and to manifest that harmony with our a posteriori physical phenomenal world.
Unless we can do this, we can never become the pure I AM; we will never feel complete; we will always be separate from our true self.”
-M.M. Nakazono, November 19, 1875
From The Guide to INOCHI (Life) Medicine (1985).

Excerpt from Author
“Our ancestors are all happy that we are here. We could not exist, physically or spiritually, without the roots from which we’ve sprung; we cannot ignore our physical and spiritual beginnings. Our spiritual ancestors, although not of the physical world, nevertheless materialize in the human body. All material existence was created first in a priori, from the void. This means our physical ancestors passed through the void a million years ago, just as we have today. In the absolute void, there is no time or space.
When you step back far enough into yourself, you will come to the void, having no beginning or end. It is the center of the universe and the self manifests from there to here-now.
Theoretical science recognizes the void as the “center” of the physical universe, yet it is also the source of our own being. If we can recognize who is I AM, we will see our own creation, second by second, manifesting from there to here-now.”

Excerpt from Author
“Naka-Ima is the time and space where the capacity of human life manifests. It is translated as Here-Now, but the sounds of here-now are different, giving them a somewhat different meaning.
This is the beginning point where the Kototama practicant, standing in Naka-Ima (here-now), starts the search of all phenomena. It is the time and space of a priori phenomenal universe, just manifesting as a priori human capacity.
The truth cannot be grasped by any other means. To stand on Naka-Ima seems simple, but it is not easy to do.”
