From ancient times, God has governed humanity, manifesting through royal lineages and similar structures, ostensibly ruling over the people. God and ordinary humans have fundamentally different souls, and in the afterlife, God communicates with other deities, discussing the future of nations.
Recently, while nations have evolved, and humans sometimes govern, these instances are often mere charades. When humans govern, it often leads to war, exploitation of other nations through economic means, or the pursuit of desires through various forms of competition. Human desires revolve around "eating, sleeping, and playing," and national policies tend to cater to these desires.
In the past, there was a time when God or their representatives governed nations. This wasn't about religious empires like the Holy Roman Empire, but rather a period when royal families were descendants of God's soul, tasked with realizing God's intentions through national governance.
While current human politics are driven by desires like "eating, sleeping, and playing," the politics of the past were fundamentally rooted in "adequate sustenance, adequate rest, adequate leisure, and spiritual growth."
Even in modern democracies, spiritual growth is often neglected, with economic growth, freedom, and military power being the primary concerns. Without spiritual growth, politics offers no true salvation, becoming merely a means to satisfy desires. In the era when kings ruled, spiritual growth was paramount, followed by the fulfillment of basic needs.
This is not merely a religious perspective, but a more fundamental principle, encompassing morality and spirituality. It resonates with elements of Shintoism, as God's intention is to foster spiritual growth, which was the foundation of nations in the past. However, it's not strictly a religious concept.
True religion, in its purest form, is a sublime consciousness, often misunderstood. In that sense, kingdoms aimed to embody this true religion, although it differs from the religions of today.
Democracy is a charade, a system designed to encourage humanity to pursue its desires. The more decisions are made through majority rule, the more superficial politics become.
Here, "God" refers not to a dictator, but to individuals who can communicate with God's will, and such individuals should be involved in politics.
While the separation of church and state is often touted as a fundamental principle of modern politics, it has historically been deeply intertwined with the divine. The separation of church and state is often used as a pretext by those who seek to manipulate humanity by encouraging base desires and suppressing spirituality. Those who truly understand recognize this deception, although they may not explicitly voice it.
The separation of church and state, while now used as a justification for pursuing desires, was likely originally intended to exclude the influence of secular religions. Even in that context, the true meaning of religion and politics remained closely connected. At least during the time when royal families governed, the true God and politics were intrinsically linked. As time progressed, secular religions, focused on power struggles, increasingly interfered with politics, leading to the advocacy of the separation of church and state to mitigate these negative influences. It was not originally intended as a justification for pursuing desires, but rather a different context was used for self-justification.
The scarcity of individuals advocating for a politics based on God's will is due to the prevalence of democratic systems. The masses prefer a system that caters to their desires, making the idea of a "god" who demands more than that inconvenient. Politicians who speak of God are often criticized and ostracized, with the separation of church and state serving as a convenient excuse. The separation of church and state and the democratic system complement each other in facilitating the pursuit of desires.
However, both democracy and the separation of church and state are charades. Perhaps people are beginning to realize this.
This distinction between the "flow of God" and the "human challenge to God" represents a fundamental difference. The flow of God seeks to elevate humanity, while the human challenge to God is driven by the desire to satisfy its own desires. Currently, the latter prevails.
Politicians are often driven by a lust for power because the system concentrates power. This power manifests as money, which is generated through taxes, special accounts, and the Bank of Japan's printing presses. While taxes may decrease in the future, reducing the power of Japanese politicians, special accounts allow for unlimited spending beyond the scope of taxes, and the Bank of Japan can create money independently of taxes. This money flows into the stock market and other areas, creating an era of excess.
These kinds of stories are well-known, and people often complain about or criticize this system. However, if someone is truly connected to the divine, they would first understand the current situation and then try to make the most of the system to achieve their own goals. For example, if one has the consciousness of God, it would be easy to bet on the stock market and extract money endlessly. And then, that money can be circulated in the world. Without relying on politicians. There are countless such ideas.
For example, one idea is to create money and distribute it, or to start one business after another to enrich people. If everyone has enough money, there is no need to curry favor with politicians, and politicians cannot enjoy manipulating power. The ideal world is one where politicians are ignored. If the consciousness of God is truly activated, such a thing is easy.
Another approach is that if people start helping those around them who are in trouble, politics will weaken. However, that probably won't happen for a while.
Perhaps, God is interested in seeing what happens when humans are allowed to pursue their desires. So, they are just observing without intervening. That's what I feel.
The current politics are not based on God, but on desires. Originally, this should be left to humans themselves. Desires and politics should ideally be unrelated.
In the past, politics was conducted through discussions between kings and nobles, and the common people were hardly involved. Even so, it worked well. Listening to the opinions of the people is meaningful in terms of understanding their satisfaction and problems, but it doesn't mean they can be entrusted with policies.
It has always been the case that politics helps people who are in trouble. However, it is not right for politics to promote the pursuit of desires. The role of politics was to stabilize people at a level of "not poor, but not rich" and to adjust in a direction that does not expand people's desires.
Politics used to be something that happened in the upper echelons, but now anyone can become a politician through elections, and ordinary people become politicians for their own power or wealth. If politicians pursue their desires, their policies will be designed to satisfy those desires.
Politics and the media are becoming more like shows, and politics is centered on desires.
In the current world, there are still people who are truly engaged in politics, but there are many more people who are just saying things that sound good as a show.
In this regard, God seems to be wondering what to do. They are considering whether to use the mechanisms created by humans to control the situation, or whether to create a new system that is even higher than the current politics.
Regarding the latter, such a system already exists in the realm of God, or the afterlife. There are plans to further develop the form to bring it to the earthly realm.
I don't have a particular mission in this life, so I'm basically just watching from a distance. The politics are really just a farce.
