It is literally true. The future is created by the choices people make. It is safe to say that determinism does not exist. Then, why does it seem like determinism exists when it shouldn't? It is because consciousness is covered by ignorance. It seems like determinism exists when it shouldn't. And through marketing, the illusion of determinism is shown, or people are made to believe that it can be changed. This is a state of relinquishing free will, and then they are charged a large sum of money.
Do not be led by low-level spirits, or be swayed by inferior people, and do not give up your free will. Marketing often promotes "become this" or "become that." However, you can become anything by your own will. Just as learning requires a teacher, do not follow a teacher who is trying to manipulate you. That person may not even be a teacher.
In spirituality, it is common to hear about "attracting reality," "jumping timelines," or "working on the subconscious." All of these are just stories about creating the future through choices. How you interpret them is up to each individual (even if they are wrong). However, in reality, the future is created by choices made through free will. That is literally the power of human free will. Animals and objects do not have free will, but humans do. Therefore, if you do not use your free will, it is the same as an animal. Humans can use their free will.
This is a truth that could cause the entire spiritual business to collapse. Almost all spiritual seminars focus on creating reality, timelines, or working on the subconscious to change reality. Rather than for learning, they cling to spirituality in order to create a better reality. However, such things are not inherently necessary.
This may be understood by understanding the concept of timelines. A timeline is a complete redoing of the space-time in which consciousness exists, so in the current reality, anything is possible through human free will. That is all there is to it.
Here, free will refers to higher consciousness. Some people may not have their higher consciousness manifested, in which case it is called the subconscious, but in reality, it is just a normal consciousness that is hidden, and it can be brought to the conscious level through meditation, etc. By using that consciousness, you can use your free will to create reality. This does not require expensive seminars, nor does it require buying some expensive Buddha statues or gemstones, and it is something that is possible only through will, and has nothing to do with money.
If people recognize this fact, the number of expensive spiritual seminars will decrease significantly. There are many people who use sensational phrases that create an illusion that attending a seminar leads to growth, attracting customers and conducting marketing, and they are accumulating bad karma.
Therefore, people who use their free will and make choices in the normal world are the right people. Conversely, people who live passively without exercising their will are spiritually inferior. In other words, if you seriously believe in people who advertise a "easy life" in expensive seminars and spend your hard-earned money, you will only become inferior people who do not think or choose freely. On the other hand, people who do not rely on such seminars and use their free will will grow.
If people who promote spirituality lure naive spiritual beginners by advertising an "easy life" and selling expensive seminars, and if the organizers who profit from these expensive seminars look down on others, manipulate others as a marketing tactic, and extort money, it is obvious that they will not grow spiritually but will degenerate and accumulate bad karma.
When the timeline resets as a collective consciousness, it carries over the previous experience. In fact, it also carries over memories, but in this world where many people don't even remember what happened yesterday, they either don't remember the events of the previous timeline, or they think, "I somehow feel like it will happen." And they repeat the same actions without much questioning. People's habits and behaviors don't change that easily, so even if the timeline is reset, they tend to return to the same behaviors. However, even so, in each timeline, it is possible to exercise free will and make different choices.
Even if you inherit the memories of the previous timeline, if the results were not very good, you can choose different options. This can also manifest as a premonition, but it is actually a past memory.
On the other hand, there is also a reality as a future template, but in most cases, people recognize the future template rather than the past memory. And they say, "I feel like it will happen" based on the past memory. If you actually take action, it may happen, and if the result is not good, you can choose a different option. It's not a matter of prophecies coming true or not. Simply, it's a matter of repeating good choices. That is exercising free will.
Therefore, if you can act with the attitude of observing things with your own eyes and thinking properly with your own head, without worrying about spirituality, then you are a spiritual person, even if you don't call yourself one. It is about observing and thinking properly according to each person, regardless of intelligence. And that is exercising free will.
If you can do that, you might not even need to call it spirituality.
People's free will is protected, and their choices are respected. Any action taken with free will is permissible, regardless of the consequences. And the consequences will come accordingly. You must accept the results of your choices. So, who can you blame for the current environment? This is also related to collective consciousness, so it is not always the responsibility of one person. It may be the choice of the group soul, which is the original group from which you are separated as a spirit. Therefore, you do not necessarily need to blame yourself for the current environment, as there are other consciousnesses at work to some extent. With that in mind, when you are born as a spirit, you accept a certain destiny, and you are living in the environment you chose.
In that environment, you exercise your free will. That is, in a sense, an "obligation." Choosing and exercising free will can be considered an obligation. A comfortable and ordinary life, or a life where you do nothing, can also be seen as an act of suppressing free will. However, most people make choices every day, and even if there are people who seek comfort, it is unlikely that they will actually be in a completely comfortable situation for a long time. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about it.
People always make choices and exercise their free will. This is something that basically everyone does.
On the other hand, people who pretend to be good and promote a comfortable life, trying to lure others with the idea of a "better life" and extorting large sums of money from them, are accumulating bad karma by depriving others of their free will.
Such cults or expensive seminars that claim to be spiritual may appear to be good people, but the situation is often unclear. However, people already have free will, and spiritual growth is possible without relying on such things. Expensive seminars often promote the idea that "you absolutely cannot achieve spiritual growth without this," but there are many people who have been deceived by such advertising and have not gained much. Or, they may sell "mystical experiences that seem amazing but are actually not spiritual growth," and in reality, people are not growing at all. This is because it involves stopping thinking. It creates dependence, and eventually, people stop making choices. By following someone or an organization, they stop exercising their free will.
It is more beneficial for spiritual growth to continue exercising free will. In most expensive seminars, this is rarely achieved. Ultimately, it must be done by oneself. Even if you mention this in an expensive seminar, you will likely be told something like, "You must actually take action to change." If that's the case, why pay a large sum of money for such an expensive seminar and stop thinking? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?
It is because people relinquish their free will to others that they are easily swayed by expensive seminars. If you have free will, there is no need to pay a large sum of money for self-improvement seminars and give yourself away.
Spiritual surrender is something that is done to God, not to organizations or individuals, such as expensive seminars. Some organizations claim to be affiliated with God, but the relationship with God is personal, and money is not required. If you understand this, you will not easily be lured into attending expensive seminars and losing money.
Some people may point out this by using irrelevant contexts such as "living selfishly is not good." However, consciousness is connected to higher levels, and it is also a collective consciousness. Therefore, it is基本 to be aware of the people around you and be considerate. "Selfishness" is something that people who are not connected to higher dimensions say. Living according to one's own will means living with a higher-dimensional consciousness. Since higher dimensions are connected to the surroundings, there is no "selfishness" in that connection. Attending expensive seminars will not connect you to higher dimensions; at best, you will be connected to strange, lower-level spirits and manipulated. There is almost no higher-dimensional God in such places.
- If your consciousness is at a lower level → The challenge is to connect to a higher level. Lower-level intentions are ego, so free will is suppressed.
- If your consciousness is at a higher level → Exercise free will. This (depending on the degree) is a collective consciousness.
In either case, self-improvement seminars and cults are not helpful. At best, you will be told something like, "You must do it yourself," and the responsibility will be shifted to you. It seems that the organizers of expensive seminars almost never take responsibility for the results. If your consciousness is at a lower level, the challenge is to connect to a higher level, and self-improvement seminars and cults are almost never helpful. They advertise as if they are teaching answers and methods, but in the end, they say, "You must do it yourself," and leave you to it. As a result, the organizers of self-improvement seminars and cults almost never take responsibility. They are just that kind of expensive seminars and self-improvement seminars.
For beginners in spirituality, or for those who don't even understand the basics, there are seminars that are marketed with exaggerated claims of high effectiveness, attracting people to expensive seminars and self-improvement programs. In reality, these are things that individuals need to do themselves, so the advertising is often excessive.
Ultimately, if it's something you have to do yourself, there's no need for an expensive seminar. What's needed is a "place" where you can practice and train. This is because expensive seminars are often difficult to attend regularly. Expensive seminars and self-improvement programs generally teach "techniques" in a short period and then leave it up to the individual to practice. Such seminars and cults are often ineffective. Unless you can attend something continuously at a reasonable price, spiritual growth is often difficult.
Spiritual growth takes time. Therefore, what's important is the "place," and while it's an overstatement to say that "techniques" are secondary, even the most effective techniques require a certain amount of time. As the saying goes, "be careful of being obsessed with techniques." Sometimes, in spiritual practices, things like Shakti Pat and initiation are performed, which are said to impart energy, creating the illusion of instant growth. However, this is simply stimulating the aura, and it's often not very helpful. Sometimes, there may be a temporary effect, and some people may awaken, but in most cases, they quickly return to their previous state. This is not related to true spiritual growth because the aura that is given in this way lacks the individual's own understanding of spiritual growth, leading them to lose their sense of self.
Therefore, providing a "place" for continuous growth without relying on others to give you an aura is essential for true spiritual growth. Spiritual growth takes time, but this is something that is rarely achieved through expensive seminars and self-improvement programs. I'm not saying that all of them are fake. The reason I don't say "all" is because to say so would require encompassing everything, and it's impossible to list all the cases. Therefore, an objective denial is impossible. However, in most cases, I personally feel that expensive seminars are not very helpful and are not essential.
There are methods for imparting aura, such as Shakti Pat, initiation, and healing. However, simply receiving it without the recipient being prepared can result in it being just a temporary experience. On the other hand, feeling energy with understanding has its own significance. However, for beginners, it may not be that meaningful. While it might be a good experience to receive it temporarily, it doesn't necessarily lead to immediate spiritual growth. Paying a high price of 500,000 yen for such things is not worthwhile.
Being deceived by cults in one's youth may be a result of immaturity, and some people may need some learning. Whether or not they do, they will learn various things through that experience. If one has the wisdom to avoid being deceived, that is sufficient. Even if one is deceived, they can connect it to their own learning.
