     At present, I am writing about the reality of the world of 5-6-7 (Mi-ro-ku) which we advocate, and this explanation will eventually be published, but here I would like to write about the course leading up to the construction of the world of 5-6-7 (Mi-ro-ku). To be sure, the world of 5-6-7 (Mi-ro-ku) is the heaven prophesized by Christ and the world of Maitreya, prophesized by Shakyamuni. Moreover, the ideal world that is this world of 5-6-7 (Mi-ro-ku) is now approaching the moment when it will come into existence.
     According to my spiritual sense, the foundation for the world of 5-6-7 (Mi-ro-ku) has already been constructed in the spiritual world, and as there is no room for doubt that in the near future it will actually appear on this earth, are we not fortunate to have been born in this period. Indeed, we cannot contain our joy.
     In this regard, what must be understood is that, for example, suppose we are going to construct a large, gorgeous building. The old house that hitherto has been on the site must be destroyed. Of course, from the old materials, what can be used for the new building can be salvaged, cleaned, renovated, repaired, and of course be used again. Now as we proceed with the construction of the world of 5-6-7 (Mi-ro-ku), the same phenomena will probably occur. Thus, in all events that hereafter occur, there may be instances that from the human perspective do not stand to reason or that seem to have no value, or which are destructive, but it should be understood that these are part of a great cleansing of all dirt and impurities. As everything is the embodiment of divine will, however, it is totally impossible to evaluate them with the mere human eye. Human beings should be humble and adapt to all changes.
     As we wait for the arrival of the time of which we have learned through spiritual sense, we should enjoy life and always be careful not to distort almighty divine will, and with a correct view of the divine, keep within ourselves a sense of peace, free from anxiety which has been bestowed upon those of deep faith as a privilege as they face from now on abnormal conditions and destructive actions hitherto not in humanity’s experience. Such a cryptic way of expression is used because the profound and hidden intention of God is not permitted to be discussed specifically at this time.
     In other words, prior to the actualization of a world of Maitreya, it is only natural that a mental attitude must be formed and developed that will be able to deal with a process until now never experienced.
