Great Construction

The Judgment of God Is Civilized

     During the recent incident, I spent forty-seven days in confinement, was examined and interrogated almost every day. I am in blank amazement from the first-time shock at seeing how much time and trouble was taken for just one interrogation.
     To begin, forty-eight armed police officers were mobilized for the arrest of Kyūhei Kon and myself, and locations in four places were searched over several hours. At a detention center I was formally put under arrest by several police officers and taken into custody.
     During the forty-seven days I naturally received meals three times a day, always had guards by my side, and wherever allowed to go, was always accompanied by someone. Interrogations were held almost every day. I would be questioned by seven or eight persons, and drawing up the transcription of one session would take a day’s worth of work. I was frequently sent to the prosecutor’s office. The bother along with the misuse of government monies and the consumption of time was tremendous.
     I do believe that if I were given this amount of personnel, labor, and time, I would probably be able to easily create one hundred excellent citizens.
     Now, at this important time when the new nation-state is being reconstructed, my case is truly immoral and wasteful. Furthermore, I am not afraid to declare that, at the very least, I believe in God, that I am trying to accomplish at least a little good in society, and that what I do does not harm society. I am indeed filled with odd feelings of doubt about the necessity to create such an amount of manipulation and waste to punish someone like me. Moreover, my persecution is going on while there are still at large thoroughly evil people who use the law to make victim and cause the suffering of a large portion of the population of Japan.
     The threat from acts such as homicide, theft, and burglary has not been completely removed from postwar Japanese society. Why are not the large amount of personnel and time expended on me be used to resolve these issues?
     Rather than make suffer people like us who do not cause mischief in society, is it not the primary mission of the police to remove these social threats was what I declared to the officials around me on several occasions.
     According to what I have been taught by God, judgment in the spiritual world is truly impartial. When a spirit crosses the River Styx, it is judged impartially in accordance with its amount of sin, so not one instance of mistrial or bother occurs. If this procedure were observed in the material world, think of how much trouble and expense would be eliminated! Such a vision could only be thought to be a dream.
     But God has magnificently manifested that dream. That realization is the appearance of powerful divine light. The fact that until now evil was not discovered unless a thorough investigation was undertaken meant that the crime was in proportion to the darkness. It is very difficult to get a hold of the evil that individuals possess due to the dark aspects, and the sign of that darkness is the only clue to the crime. From this point, however, as the divine light makes its appearance the brightness probably will expose clearly to all evil no matter how well hidden. Any concealment or destruction of evidence will become ineffective before fire. Each case of ill-gotten gains will be judged without the need of any sort of bother or trouble. This is truly civilized judgment.
     I keenly feel the need for an invention to materialize the divine light!
