■Biography
Originally from Shizuoka Prefecture, I live in Tokyo. I work in IT and often do yoga and meditation in my free time.
I have loved computers since elementary school and taught myself programming. In the 1990s, I spent my time playing with the MSX, the early days of computers, until high school. In high school, I created and played two full-assembler shooting games on the MSX, but my studies were poor. I feel like this was the time I had the most fun with computers. I had dreams. Those who only work in IT and are unfamiliar with the early days of computers in the 1990s may not understand, but I think I had dreams and enjoyed using computers back then. I entered a university in Tokyo with an IT department, but found the IT classes uninteresting and dropped out. During my university years, I ran a popular computer networking host club (what we would now call a salon). While working part-time, I received stock options from the president of a web development company, which was rare at the time. However, the dot-com bubble burst and the company never went public, so the stock options remained as scraps of paper in a closet. After graduating from university, I got a job at an IT development company, but I found the computer part of the job uninteresting and struggled in an industry that was mentally draining. Still, I was reasonably good at IT, so I just went about my day job. However, I wasn't particularly interested in work, so I devoted myself to environmental activism, which was popular at the time, for about five years. I used my IT skills as a volunteer to build a web trading system and point balance system for an organization I was involved with at the time. Although it was a local currency that was a pioneer in virtual currencies, it was a grass coin, so I remained untouched by the virtual currency boom. During this time, I was more devoted to environmental activism than my main job. Later, when the organization's activities stalled, friction arose among its members, leading to discord and eventually withdrawal from environmental activism. After that, my days were filled with work, but I eventually ended up being posted to Bangalore, India for nearly two years. As I wrote in my article, I found myself embroiled in a series of impossible situations and the conspiracies of people using the Indian branch to advance their careers. So, upon returning from India, I applied for early retirement and quit. I was exhausted from my assignment in India, so rather than continue living a life that was mentally exhausting and killing me, I decided to live a healthier life and traveled around the world for about a year and a half. During my time in South America, I bought a small motorcycle and rode from Colombia to Ushuaia, the southernmost point, and enjoyed life to the fullest. After returning to Japan, I considered returning to work, but decided to start a business in the IT field, something I had always wanted but hadn't been able to do, so I started a solo company. Including my side hustle, I continued running an online English conversation service for about 10 years, and played around with AI stock price analysis, but the company went dormant after a few years because there was no growth potential. I then got a job at a web-based company, where I worked on system design, server development, and management, leading a fairly normal working life. In my personal life, I practice yoga and meditation. (As of June 2023)
■Spiritual History
When I was in elementary school, my entire body was enveloped in light, and I experienced a so-called astral projection. I met my guardian spirit and my higher self, transcended time and space, looked into the past, learned the purpose of this life, explored the future, and redesigned my life by looking at it from a bird's-eye view, including parallel worlds. Based on the knowledge I gained during this experience, I rose from rock bottom to the surface as planned, striving to realize my divine consciousness. What I learned during the astral projection was only a glimpse of enlightenment, and it took many years to realize enlightenment in my daily life.
As a child, I frequently saw strange, moving lights resembling UFOs in the sky at night, countless times (hundreds, perhaps even more than a thousand). The parent of a classmate from elementary and junior high school was translating the work of a Swiss UFO contactee (Billy Meier), and I learned the basics of spirituality by listening to his boasting and by being forced to borrow his books. Some of my classmates were receiving telepathic guidance from aliens, and I occasionally eavesdropped on them (in my mind) and saw these beings in my mind. While I was convinced of their existence, even as a child I thought they were surprisingly normal people.
When I was young, the Aum Shinrikyo incident occurred, and spirituality was looked down upon. However, as planned, I lived a spiritually challenging life in my youth. By entering the zone while working, I was able to balance my work and spiritual training, and by my mid-30s, I had largely resolved the negative emotions I had accumulated in my youth. Around the age of 40, I traveled the world for about a year and a half, realizing how wonderful the world is. After that, I returned to yoga and meditation and began my spiritual training again for the first time. There, I faced my inner self even more. The knowledge I had read as a child finally began to make sense to me. Around that time, I realized I was still a beginner in spiritual matters and finally rediscovered my place in the world. I overcame many of my own limitations (and am still working on them). It begins with a brief silence, and goes through several stages of deepening silence.
After a certain amount of silence and the intensification of my aura, I suddenly become emotionally unstable and tears flow. I experience a state known as Zen sickness or shaman sickness for over six months, and overcome this period of instability. I then begin to live each day with the intention of pushing myself further beyond my limits.
I have been practicing spirituality for over 30 years and yoga for over 5 years. My field of study might be considered spiritual, but it is basically based on my experiences with astral projection, so the term "spiritual" is only used for explanation. It is actually a story about my own essence, unrelated to spirituality. Recently, it has been spiritual, but not long ago it was New Age, witches in the Middle Ages, warlords in Japan, and even fairies and angels long before that. Even though the way I describe it has changed, my essence remains the same, and my essence transcends time and space.

■What is spiritual?
This definition seems to vary from person to person.
Here, I consider the classic model of spirituality to have the following structure. (English)
The commonly used term "spiritual" encompasses the occult in general, the law of attraction, religion, and even cults. Essentially, I think we're lumping together all sorts of things that aren't well-understood and calling them spiritual. Rather, the destination of spirituality is clear if we apply it to the classical model.
And understanding the phenomenal world requires a variety of spiritual concepts, including auras, chakras, guardian spirits, channeling, multiple dimensions, parallel worlds, reincarnation, and samsara. However, the fundamental goal of spirituality is to achieve moksha (freedom), or liberation, as described above. This does not mean separation from this world; world peace is also absolutely necessary to achieve this, since the world is made up of collective consciousness. It's not about just one person becoming free; paving the way for everyone to achieve moksha (freedom) means world peace.
Early-stage spirituality is a mixed bag, with many scams, so you need to be careful. In fact, more than half are suspicious, and while the organizers often have no ill intentions, there are a certain number of people who are aware of this and yet make money from spirituality through marketing. Some people will talk about things like aliens and other things they think they understand but don't, claiming to be channelers, and then lure you into expensive seminars. If you don't know much, you'll be hyped and scammed until your wallet is empty. At this stage, you're often happier just working hard at your regular job, rather than talking about spirituality. At this early stage, you need to instill self-control and calmness (inner purification) before knowledge. Yet, many spiritualists focus on realizing their desires and attracting reality, promoting curiosity, encouraging novelty, and encouraging desire and craving. There's no salvation there. To truly engage in spirituality, you must first establish yourself; you need the qualities. If you acquire knowledge without the qualities, your knowledge and actions will only further bind you, as the ancient adage goes: "I give liberation to yogis and bondage to fools." In fact, the reality is that many people don't even reach that level. It merely serves to further and fulfill desires. Even if true knowledge is attained, it is foolish to proclaim to an unawakened person, "You are everything (Brahman)." Even if it were true, that knowledge would bind that person. Because knowledge is readily available these days, many people mistakenly believe they know and are unable to discover their true essence. This is because they are not ready (even if they don't think so). Upon learning, their ego responds with self-protection, claiming, "I already know." This is a common problem among spiritual novices. While correct knowledge liberates those who are ready, it hampers the foolish. Much of the spirituality available in the world makes people, including themselves, unhappy by revealing things they shouldn't yet know. If that's the case, perhaps spirituality would be better off not existing. I feel that most popular spirituality isn't very beneficial to people. If that's the case, then the first thing to do is to exercise self-control and purification, not resort to the common spiritual law of attraction. Even if those around me say this, it won't reach the vast majority of people who have been given money and knowledge. I think that's the current spiritual situation. We're surrounded by ego-driven self-defense mechanisms, as if we already know everything.
This site will also delve into the vortex of these questionable spiritual practices, cults, and worldly desires.
In my early twenties, I became passionate about volunteering for about five years, volunteering for international NGOs, volunteering for local currencies, and participating in study groups on weekday evenings and weekends. However, as anyone who has worked in NGO/NPO activities will know, I fell victim to the unique interpersonal relationships and volunteer fatigue, and stopped participating. After that, I no longer wanted to be involved with NPOs or volunteer work, and that's where I am today.
Things I'm not good at
Hysterical women and jealous men → I've had trouble with these things for decades, but recently I've finally started to get used to them.
