Great Construction

An Example of the Superstition of Medical Science


     The deep-rooted belief in medical science today needs no explanation here, but the account below is one example. There are many individuals like this person, but in this case, the account is so vivid that I include it. In society are countless instances of superstition in reasoning, and it is probably the superstition about medical science that has spread most widely and forcefully throughout humanity. That such a terrifying superstition has not been discovered until now could very well be called the enigma of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, World Messianity has already uncovered this superstition. We not only show the logic, the reasoning, behind this superstition, but we also present the actual results of the correct method of healing, so make no mistake that the time will come when the entire world comes to terms with this superstition. Still, even though we ourselves may be free from anxiety about our health, it still deeply pains us every time we see a victim of medical science.

Healed of Serious Condition After Miscarriage,
Saved from Danger After Repeat Deliveries
    Hisae Era, 43
    Koho Church, Fukuoka Prefecture


     Respectfully I express my gratitude for the help I have received. I am truly sorry that I have not been able to repay in any way the vast and limitless blessings I have been showered with and the divine compassion that I have received since joining the church.
     Looking back, the miscarriage I experienced in August 1949 was the occasion for me to learn about this blessed path and be saved. After the miscarriage, my health did not improve at all, a huge lump formed in my lower abdomen, and like the beating of my heart, the solidified lump also beat severely, I was agitated overall and experienced incomparable unpleasantness. On top of that, I suffered from heavy-headedness which was probably due to anemia. My complexion was very pale and because these conditions were accompanied by dizziness, I found it difficult to stand up, so I was kept in bed in the hospital. After looking me over, the doctor said not to overdo because of the anemia due to the miscarriage, and for about three months, I faithfully followed the doctor’s instructions including receiving injections and taking medicines, but none of the treatments had any effect whatsoever, rather my condition worsened further. Because I had continued to stay in bed, my physical strength also weakened, I did not have one bright day, and the anguish continued.
     When I had lost all hope for the future, falling to the bottom of absolute despair, I heard about this precious path from a close relative and right away a minister from the branch church was asked to come to the hospital to channel Johrei to me. As I received Johrei, I felt my head which had been so heavy, become lighter, and the beating in my lower abdomen quieted. I experienced a pleasant feeling I had not felt before. I still cannot forget how the dark clouds seemed to go away and how pleasant and happy at the time I felt from just that one Johrei I received.
     I declared that I would depend only on God and I truly felt I wanted to be saved. Hoping to receive a huge blessing, the next day, I got out of bed and went to pray at the church, riding in a handcart that was pulled along for me. Thanks to God, after five days, I was able to walk on my own to church and the lump in my lower abdomen became softer, dissolving almost completely. As if wiped away by a paper towel, the grave illness I contracted after the miscarriage turned visibly in a pleasant direction day by day, and in the short period of only two weeks I recovered completely. Thank you very much.
     Regrettably, although I received this tremendous blessing, I became very busy with farming and household tasks and for a long time did not go to the branch to worship, for which I deeply apologize..
     The time flew like an arrow and on July 29, 1951, on the occasion of the delivery of my seventh son, I received a blessing and he was born without any complications. Thank you very much. The twenty-eighth day after giving birth, I received the purification of diarrhea and seemed to lose all my energy. After that, on the thirty-fifth day, after I had washed clothes, in the evening I suddenly felt chills. I also had a fever and perspired, and again I was put into bed in the hospital ward. I felt I was enveloped in dark clouds, probably because in my shallow faith, I had continued on as before without expressing any appreciation. I, who had forgotten God and strayed from the truth, had come under the care of a doctor again, for which I am very ashamed. This time as well, the diagnosis was anemia after childbirth, and injections of grape sugar and the ingestion of other such medicines were continued. Of course, all these had no effect and I only got worse. As I lay in my bed in the hospital and received a variety of treatments, my condition worsened, and it came to the point where even the doctor gave up on me. I cried out in anguish. All I could think about was death and nothing else, but on the other hand, my attachment to life, to living, was difficult to sever, and I determined to follow the lifeline of salvation once more. I immediately went to the branch to pray and prostrating myself before the altar, I apologized for the disrespect I had shown so far and pledged from the bottom of my heart not to repeat the mistake again.
     Again God compassionately gave me permission to live. I have many clouds, but this time I was truly able to understand the terror of medicinal toxins. When I think about the past, I shudder in horror. I, who had been saved by the path, had turned my back on truth and had committed the sin of depending on mistaken medical science, was forgiven not once but twice, having my life extended. From the bottom of my heart I do apologize and at the same time express my deep appreciation.
     The joy of having been bestowed life is ever greater and I am able to live each day pleasantly, blessed with health, so happy am I. I am full of the desire to try to spread word of this precious path to the suffering people of the world. Please forgive the lateness of this report.
     Meishu-sama, thank you very much. To you I express my profound gratitude.
