I have said this many times, but when you reach a certain spiritual level, you may start to be contacted by Japanese deities when you visit shrines, for example.

And when that happens, there is a high probability that the person will become confident and sometimes arrogant, thinking, "I have become connected with the Japanese deities. I have grown that much."

And when people around them point out their changed behavior out of concern, they often become arrogant and say things like, "Hmph. I have been recognized by the Japanese deities. What can someone who is not blessed by the Japanese deities say? Just listen to what I say." They become unwilling to listen.

Then, they are often told to perform rituals in various places in Japan to increase the influence of these Japanese deities. These deities gain power from the thoughts of the people, so they aim for places where they are not only present but also where the power of other deities is weak, even if it is on the territory of other deities. They use various reasons, such as "to protect the Earth" or "to revitalize Japan," to have people perform rituals and open up energy channels for their own purposes. The energy code is not for the Earth or Japan, but rather for connecting with that deity, and it strengthens the power of that deity.

Even though they are called Japanese deities, they are not enlightened, and they are quite rough, as you might imagine. They are quite human-like. Some are more virtuous and outstanding than ordinary people, and you can imagine them as being like the respectable people who were often seen in Japan during the Showa era, who have become deities.

Each deity has its own place where it usually resides, and generally maintains its energy there. However, sometimes they try to increase the number of energy channels. At such times, they find people who have reached a certain level of spiritual development, but are still quite flawed, and try to manipulate them for their own purposes.

In reality, it is quite difficult to discern the true intentions of these kinds of deities. Even though they are not enlightened, they are still Japanese deities, so they have wisdom and are much better at it than humans. They don't lie, but they tell big stories and use them to manipulate others for their own purposes. They say things like "for the sake of the Earth" or "for the sake of Japan," but these big stories also include their own purposes. They use these big stories to get others to move for their own sake. People often believe that they are working for the sake of the Earth or Japan, but in reality, they are only performing rituals and increasing energy for that deity.

Such gods do not lie, so it is certainly for the benefit of the Earth and Japan. However, fundamentally, this is about increasing the god's own energy.

A wise person might ask, "What is the meaning of this ritual?" and investigate it thoroughly. However, if they only listen and do not act, the god may leave. There are plenty of replacements. Incompetent individuals are discarded by the gods. When their ego grows and they become troublesome, the gods will leave.

In most cases, even if they initially hear the voice of a god, they eventually create an image of the god within themselves and begin to create their own voice. Then, the voice of the god will no longer reach them, but they will begin to create convenient doctrines, as cults often do.

In any case, even if they truly hear something, the kind of god it is is a rough Japanese god, so even that is not the ultimate goal.

Creating an image of a god with one's own ego is a very low-level thing that cults do, but even if one truly hears the voice of a Japanese god, it is only at that level.

In yoga, it is written that "as one progresses in practice, one is invited by the gods. However, one must reject all of these in order to reach the highest level."

Especially Japanese gods are rough, so if one becomes satisfied thinking, "I have already reached a level where I can interact with the gods," they will stagnate at that level.

Although I do not have much contact with Japanese gods, if they do contact you, it is better to be careful. Basically, you should look at the vibration. Is it a high-dimensional, high vibration? Even if they are called gods, rough Japanese gods are not much different from ordinary, respectable people.

On the other hand, true higher beings shine. The way they shine is completely different from ordinary beings.

The strength of energy and whether it is a higher being are separate matters. There are cases where the energy is strong at a low level, and cases where the energy is strong at a high level. It is important to distinguish between them.

Basically, just like interacting with people, no matter how much they claim to be gods, if the vibrations do not match, it is better not to interact with them.

...However, there is a concept of being out of one's league, and even if it is a misunderstanding, if a person who would have lived a meaningless life without the help of a god can help others even a little, there is some meaning to their existence. Few people aim for more than that. Being used by a god may be a good experience.
