Medicines Create Misfortune
In my writings and talks, I have discussed medicines from many aspects, but I feel I have not written in as much detail as I could about the relationship between medicine and misfortune.
It should be thoroughly understood that our state of fortune or misfortune has its cause in the spiritual world, so first, a short explanation of how the spiritual world is organized. It is composed of one hundred and eighty levels, divided into top, middle, and lower levels of sixty sections each. The lower level is, of course, hell; the middle, the intermediate plane; and the upper, paradise. Each of the sixty sections is further subdivided into twenty levels, each with upper, middle, and lower levels.
In referring to hell alone, for example, suffering gradually increases as we descend into the lower regions. The lowest region of hell is a world of serious disease, starvation, and conflict in extreme degrees. Shinto and Buddhism both have names for this world and Dante called it purgatory. But these extreme conditions lessen each level upward, and what we regard as the normal conditions of society can be experienced for the first time in the intermediate levels. Here we find an intermediate amount of suffering and an intermediate amount of joy, as the name implies. Continuing upward, breaking out of the intermediate levels, is paradise, or what is referred to in Buddhism as the land of eternal bliss. Here, there is no disease or poverty, food is abundant, and all is at peace, truly a world enveloped in happiness.
As you can see from this explanation, most people belong somewhere in the intermediate levels, but these levels are not places where we can relax our guard. What we think and do determines whether we can rise upward or whether we fall downward. Because the spirits of most people fall downward, conditions in the physical world follow, and their physical world becomes a hell for them.
This is only a brief explanation of the connection between the physical and the spiritual worlds, but as I always stress, the law of all spiritual laws is the law of the spirit preceding the physical, and this law applies to all without exception. Thus, the amount of fortune or misfortune a person experiences is determined by the position of that person’s spirit in the spiritual world.
This is truth and as long as it is kept in mind and acted upon accordingly, becoming a happy, fulfilled person is not difficult. No matter how much you may desire happiness or others may yearn for your happiness, unless your spirit belongs to the upper levels of paradise, happiness will only be temporary and your condition will always drop back to the corresponding position your spirit occupies in the spiritual world. In line with this principle, conversely, no matter how unhappy you are, if, with the proper attitude, you try to do good by practicing virtue and by helping other people, your spirit will rise in the spiritual world according to the law of spiritual affinity, and thus you will become happy.
The fundamental reason a spirit’s level drops in the spiritual world is that clouds on the spirit accumulate and the spirit becomes heavier. Therefore, as the amount of clouds decrease, the spirit becomes lighter and its position rises. Happiness increases proportionately. The happiness of human beings is subject to the amount of clouds on their spirit. Just knowing this fact will allow you to join the ranks of the fulfilled, happy ones. This is an eternal, ironclad rule of the spiritual world.
So, what are clouds? Since ancient times various religions have preached about clouds using the words “sins” and “impurities,” and because everyone is familiar with these concepts, there is no need to discuss them here, but what is understood of sin and impurities is only the surface. Deep below the surface is the basis for the great consequence that are sins and impurities. The source of clouds on the spirit are the medicines that have been so widely extolled and used by humanity since antiquity. People may be shocked by this statement, but it has been learned through divine revelation, so it is of vital importance.
The poisons contained in the medicines introduced into the body pollute the blood. As the blood, the physical manifestation of spirit, becomes polluted, the spiritual body becomes clouded according to the law of the oneness of body and spirit. There is nothing more frightening than medicines. Medicines cloud the spirit, making it heavier and dragging it downward in the spiritual world, finally pulling it into hell. Thus, by the law of spiritual affinity, the number of people who commit heinous acts increases, and our world becomes a place of suffering, besieged by sickness, poverty, and conflict. The first, fundamental step in making this a world of peace and happiness is to eliminate from society medicines, the root of human misfortune.

In the nature of things, a human being has, without exception, both inborn and acquired poisonous substance. The inborn poison is, needless to say, the inheritance from the parents and the acquired one is the poisonous substances in medicine which people have taken in their bodies since after their births. Everyone will be surprised to know this. For the basic assumption is that medicines are what will cure sickness and aid health, so they believe that if only very effective medicines are produced, every sickness will be cured; this is the focus of medical treatment. Above all, the U.S.; people in this country put the most emphasis on medicine and are making a massive effort to discover and develop new drugs, as you know. Hence, if medicine had the power to heal illnesses, existing illnesses should have been decreasing gradually, but the fact is contrariwise that illnesses are increasing even more; why is this happening? Nothing is more irrational than this occurrence. Basically, there is no such thing as a medicine on the earth, so what people think of as medicines are all poisons with no exception and they are effective exactly because they are poisons. What I mean is that so called medicine appears to cure illness because of its toxicity which suppresses the symptoms of illness, but actually the illness is not cured at all.
Then, why are medicines poisons? Because, it is foods that what human beings are supposed to eat and the Creator provided for them to live on at the same time as creating humankind. And of the foods, some are for human beings to eat and others are not; this distinction is self-evident. That is to say, the foods which we humans should eat are made to have a taste and humans are given the sense of taste, so if only we enjoy eating foods we want to eat, we can get enough nutrition; considering just this one thing, you should understand how thoroughly the Creator has done. Seen in this light, we do not eat for living but live with eating, just like acts of reproduction, that is, men and women have sex not to bear children, but they happen to be blessed with children making love for another purpose; this is a great mystery.
As remarked above, the internal function of human body is made to be unable to process a foreign substance completely except the stuff which is prescribed as food, and so, since the medicine is a foreign material to the human body, when taken into the body, only the nutritional element of medicine is assimilated but the rest of it remains in the body. This is the toxic element in medicine, and in addition, the trouble is that this toxic element accumulates at the local parts of the body and as time goes by, it solidifies. The parts it accumulates are limited to where the nerves are concentrated and highly active. The parts where the nerve activity is very high are situated, of course, in the upper half of the body, especially from the neck up: mainly the brains, and the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc., so the toxic substances gather together aiming at these parts and they solidify around the neck for a moment. Any person will have, without exception, the solidification somewhere at the neck or in the shoulder. This is a so-called stiffness, and when it has developed to some degree, the process of natural elimination, that is, the purification occurs. In that case, the solidified toxic elements are dissolved by the action of high fever, liquefied and transformed into cough, phlegm, nasal mucus, sweat, diarrhea, hot urine, etc. to be eliminated. We call this a cold.
Consequently, a so-called common cold is the process for eliminating the toxic elements, so if you are patient enough during this process though it is a little painful, and leave it to nature, then the toxic elements are eliminated well, the interior of the body are purified and restored to health; this is excellent. Since the common cold is very simple physiological activity and effect by God's providence, we ought to be most thankful for the process, but the people who did not know the truth interpreted the pain of purification as a bad symptom and invented medical treatment to stop it, which you should understand is a total mistake. And this process of purification is all the more likely to occur because the body is vital, so the most effective way to stop the process is to weaken the bodily vital activity. Upon this, people came to use the poison called medicine. From ancient days, digging out of roots of herbs and barks of trees, minerals, animal internal organs, etc., boiling, powdering, or extracting, they made medicines in various forms: liquid medicine, pills, ointment, medicine for injection, etc., and applied them to stopping the process of purification. However, if the toxicity is too strong, it will be life-threatening, so they make this toxic character very weak and have it taken bit by bit. For this purpose, they fixed a dose of medicine to take, say three times a day, therefore, an effective medicine means the poison whose toxicity is made stronger so far as not to show toxic symptoms. Thus, by using the toxic elements in medicine, they have hardened the poison which otherwise would be dissolved and discharged, and consequently, people today have retained so much poison and contract diseases very easily and this is why they are unduly strict about preventive hygiene and fearful of the common cold. And further, they feel happy to hear that their life span has been extended to be a little over sixty, but this is also a great mistake. For it would not difficult for a human being to live to be more than a hundred years old if only he or she did not have disease, but in fact almost all people die at an age under one hundred; this is a death from unnatural causes of disease, therefore, without disease, people would die of natural causes, consequently, they naturally would live long. Thus, medical treatment is not the method for curing disease but the way to alleviate pains temporarily, for which purpose an absolute minimum of activity, a wet compress, an ointment, an ice application, an electrotherapy, a phototherapy, etc., all these treatments are none other than the means to solidify poisons. Among them, moxa cautery and thermotherapy are a little different; these are methods of treatment which, by applying temporal heat stimuli to some spots, lead toxic element to the spots, and as a result, the patients have relief, but after some time passes, their original conditions return with nothing improved. There is also another method called radium therapy which destroys cancer by radium rays; if this method destroyed cancer only, it would be very good, but actually it destroys the tissue in the body, so on balance, the demerits are greater than the merits.
As observed above, every single medical treatment up to now has been thoroughly the method of solidification, but there is absolutely no other method of remedy at all than dissolving toxic substance and discharging it. This is evident from that medical doctors do not say "cure" but "make solid." On top of that, the most effective of all the solidifying method is medicine and the medicine makes source of the disease, so it is quite natural that the more often one has medical treatment, the more easily one suffers complications and become worse. As a result, one is led up to life-threatening condition in the end. Concerning this, the following are very suggestive. We often hear from doctors that a patient who is very eager to be cured of a disease and uses a precious medicine is most likely to become worse, whereas a patient who is indifferent to the course is most likely to get well. And we also often hear that the more careful about hygiene a person is, the poorer health he or she has and the more careless, the healthier; doctors' families and nurses working at the hospital have a tendency to be ill. Interestingly enough, a person of unusual health, a golden ager says, "I have never depended on the help of a doctor or medicine because I have never become ill," but from our standpoint, the person is healthy precisely because he or she has never see a doctor or take medicine and because healthy, no need of a doctor or medicine; this logic should be deeply appreciated.

Home Gardening and Non-Fertilizer Cultivation
mokiti okada http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html
Cultivation without fertilizers, the method of agriculture we advocate, is also good news for those who have vegetable gardens at home, and I would like to discuss this kind of agriculture here. Vegetable gardens generally do not involve production of the cereals, such as rice and wheat, and most gardens are used for cultivating vegetables. Human excrement as well as garbage, fish scraps, wood ash, and the manure of horses and chickens, are applied, but the most commonly used fertilizer in Japanese home gardens is human excrement.
In these cases, however, those who fertilize with human excrement are not experienced farmers, but typical householders not accustomed to handling such material, so the experience can be quite distressing. Applying it is disagreeable, and the smell lingers for quite a long time, filling the rooms of the house, extinguishing even enjoyment of dinner time, the unpleasantness being more than the average person can bear. Since human excrement is supposed to be effective, people have no course but to use it, but I would like to discuss several examples that aptly show how the use of human excrement for agriculture is harmful.
Inexperienced cultivators often complain about tomatoes and varieties of bean plants whose flowers drop prematurely and about low yields. They also complain of low output or of no output at all with potatoes, of leaf blight and of broken stalks. Insect damage is also cause for much concern, but the cause of all these problems stems from the use of human excrement, and this fact has remained unknown until now. Low productivity, as well, was thought to result from the insufficient use of fertilizers, so even more fertilizers were applied, which led to reverse effects. The poor quality of plants has conspicuously continued to worsen until now. This vicious cycle was inevitable because agricultural specialists taught that artificial fertilizers were effective, and this unsatisfactory situation occurred because the specialists themselves had fallen for the superstitious belief in the efficacy of fertilizers. Specialists attributed poor results to errors in usage of types, amount, and the timing of fertilizer use or to the acidity of the soil. All these explanations are quite off the mark and only muddle the basic principles of agriculture. The fallacy is so astonishing!
One of the most beneficial aspects of Non-Fertilizer Cultivation is that neither human excrement nor any other kind of fertilizer is necessary. We are only concerned that the compost be satisfactory, and the results are wonderful. Here is just a short list of advantages.
1. Unpleasant fertilizers, including human excrement, are not needed.
2. Therefore, there are no diseases caused by parasitic insects, and produce is clean.
3. No premature loss of flowers or breakage of stems, and plants are easy to cultivate because they are strong.
4. It is economical because there is no expense or need for disinfecting measures since there is no damage from insects.
5. Because the amount of produce increases, a smaller area for cultivation suffices.
6. The delicious taste of non-fertilized vegetables is extraordinary, and they are naturally high in nutritive value.
I could go on, but more to the point, only those who have experienced using Non-Fertilizer Cultivation can know from the results of the method how much more pleasant life becomes. The sooner Non-Fertilizer Cultivation is implemented, the better. When starting Non-Fertilizer Cultivation, however, one point that must be kept in mind is that because seeds and the soil have been permeated with toxins, it will take some period of time for the agricultural toxins to be eliminated, and conspicuously good results will not be seen for that period. Depending on the type of vegetable, however, some varieties will show good results from the first year, and others will take two or three years. It is when all the agricultural toxins have been eliminated from the soil and seeds that marvelous results will be obtained. The saviour mokiti okada http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html
