New York, N.Y. I stayed home for another week. Now I have a lot of reading time and I am spending at least four hours a day meditating as if I was at the meditation dojo. I also go for walks in the park, moving in the sun. My life is luxurious, thanks to the Corona bacteria. But something new is happening around the world, like a world war against the human race.
What does this mean? If you think about it, I can only think of it as act of the Universe (or God). Humanity has been inventing and discovering for centuries, for the sake of our selfish happiness and so-called ‘progress.’ But has this made us happy? Have we found happiness? Unhappiness does not go away. Illness does not decrease. Sadly, different diseases continue to emerge, one after another.
Our food has somehow improved and we have created new varieties. Today, ironically, we are trying to return to the original, saying ‘organic’ is better. Was humanity on overkill because our intention was wrong in God’s eyes? Up to the present, our development has progressed solely from human greed. We have ignored all other sentient beings God created on this planet.
Perhaps the Universe is thinking: “I will create viruses unknown to humanity. I will try to stop humanity right now and hope they will wake up. Stop their daily life. I only gave humans the ability to think, not other living creatures. The rest of sentient beings on this planet only received “’instinct.’”
“For centuries, humanity has misunderstood this special ability, thought. They have used thought greedily, only for the sake and betterment of themselves. With this special ability, one must realize the consequences to others. If our act only serves humanity, how does it better the Universe? The Universe provided us with this high ability and trusted humanity could handle it.”
The Universe created intelligence in humans to be able to recognize the nature of the others’ ability: the unconscious ability “for the betterment of others.” Sadly, humanity has totally ignored or misunderstood and failed this real meaning of our special ability.
This is so important. In the past, great philosophers and religious leaders have tried to teach us, but ordinary humans never understood. We kept greedily progressing for the convenience of humankind, for the sake of themselves. Humanity seems focused only on “How to make our lives more convenient,” or “How to enrich ourselves by sacrificing the rest of living creatures on our planet.” This egoistic idea of humans is taking its toll on the destruction of our planet and daily life. This totally conceited idea that humans are “above all, superior” is causing this.
The Universe is trying to adjust this now. “Humans must wake up!” But this is not easy. The Corona virus can be conquered, I believe. But there is so much more for us to learn now than simply defeating the coronavirus. This earth-plant is being broken!
In actuality, conquering the Coronavirus is not difficult if we follow these ways:
Boost your own nature-given immunity, which we do not take proper care of.- Depend as little as possible on pills prescribed by MD’s.
- Live as naturally as you can, relying on Nature; do NOT fear, think this is also caused by nature.
- Move your body as much as you can, as we are creatures of movements.
- Eat what you need, as much as you can, organically (from nature). Chew thoroughly, using your saliva.
- Stick with a predominantly vegetarian Diet. Drink clean water more than usual, stimulating your body’s
- Give deep thanks for the remarkable ability that nature has bestowed upon your body.
- Keep your body temperature rather high. 36.5 Celsius (97.7 Fahrenheit).
- Get as much natural sunlight as much as you can; vitamin D from the sun has much immunity.
- Take a bath, not a shower. Keep your extremities and inner body warm.
- Give thanks; be appreciative and give thanks to everybody and everything around you. Gratitude.
- Think about what you can do for others; all sentient beings, not only for other humans.
- No matter how small your action might be, please do it and get feeling of satisfactions from it.
I notice the report of COVID-19 infection in Japan is rather low compared to other countries. I attribute this to the traditional cleanliness of our Japanese people. Wherever one goes in Japan, we see no litter or garbage. We take care of our own garbage with Compassion for others. Amazingly, it is the cleanest country in the world.
Coronavirus perhaps will not spare even this extremely populated country either. Maybe our mental attitude I talked about earlier will have to change… Deep gratitude for the Planet, God, and Nature.
