Age of Aquarius: Model 20,000 years ago is Jōmon, no hierarchy
Japan's oldest Jōmon lifestyle and values are perfect for the age of Aquarius.
The modern era has just entered the age of Aquarius from the age of Pisces. This shift makes drastic changes on the world from hierarchy dominant to individual voluntary networking. Jōmon lifestyle is exactly like that, i.e., no hierarchy, no ownership and no battle.
Japanese culture can be traced back to the Jōmon period. The oldest Jōmon pottery is 16,500 years ago. Therefore, Jōmon period is quite old.
Jōmon period lasted for nearly 20,000 years in a peaceful and equal society.
The Jōmon people did not have the concept of land ownership or savings.
There are various theories about when the age of Aquarius starts, but in any case, the former age, the age of Pisces accounts for most of the history textbooks we know. And Jōmon is older than the age of Pisces.
Transformation of Values: From Pisces to Aquarius
Aquarius is symbolized by "the person who carries the water." He is responsible for the fair distribution of wealth and opportunities. In other words, it is a society in which free thinking is allowed while assuming one's role in the whole. The Age of Pisces can be characterized by the evolution of religion, politics, and war based on material restrictions. In contrast, the Age of Aquarius is an era of evolving beyond material limitations. Information spreads beyond the boundaries of religion and politics and spreads to the world in an instant.
In the 2000 years, during the age of Pisces, humanity has been devastated by war. Yuval Noah Harari's online history lecture “A Breif History of Humankind” is the best way to look back on human history during the Pisces era.
The entire lecture is composed of Lesson 01 to Lesson 17 as following video:
The keywords in the age of Pisces
carp in the imperial palace in Tokyo
The keywords in the age of Pisces are
"separation,"
"control," and
"material."
Pisces is a symbol that two fish traveling in the opposite direction are tied with a string. In other words, in the age of Pisces, is the separation of opposing pairs. Those are:
mind and body,
spirit and substance,
masculine and femininity, etc.
They are seemingly opposites which are not fused, but separated.
In addition, the age of Pisces is an era of class society divided into the governing side and the dominated side. Due to the hierarchical structure of the organizational structure, power and financial power, limited people gathered power.
The fundamental values of separation and control during the age of Pisces made "religion" segregated, hostile, and strengthened domination.
In Pisces society, femininity and masculinity are separated. That is, men belong to the company and work for the company, and women contribute for the family.
Thus, 2000 years in the past, the age of Pisces, can be said as a history of battle and is now moving into the age of Aquarius to be free from battles.
The transition does not switch from one day to another. Human beings gradually transform society and humanity based on collective unconsciousness.
What is like the new age of Aquarius
The keywords in the age of Aquarius are "love", "integration", "harmony", "change", and "equal".
Aquarius symbolize a boy with a water bottle as Ganymēdēs. He is a beautiful boy in Greek mythology and the only human being to enter the world of God.
Therefore if you will be a water bottle carrier, i.e., a wealth distributer, you may be closer to God.
By the way, it is Uranus, the guardian of Aquarius. The keywords that Uranus gives are:
Revolution
Invention
Originality
Creativity
Freedom
In the age of Aquarius, materiality and spirit are fused to create new values that are free and liberated.
The energy to release the rule and integrate the things that had been separated until now will be strengthened more and more. Furthermore, the idea of sharing rather than ownership is standardized.
We can expect the development of cutting-edge technologies that are environmentally friendly.
The age of Aquarius is also the era of community, in which each person exerts their talents, harmonizes, and works to improve the world.
And the value is that if the whole community works well, anyone's credit will do. Rather than the upper ones controlling the lower ones, everyone will be equal and the whole society will change to values that respect each other.
Aquarius Lifestyle learn from the Jōmon period
Values in the Aquarius era are similar to those in the Jōmon period. Surprisingly, the Jōmon period lasted nearly 20,000 years.
They had no concept of land ownership, struggle, wealth, or class.
The recent excavation of the Jomon archaeological site has revealed that the Jomon people had a high degree of culture, rather than the primitive people that have been considered so far.
Even if he did not cultivate rice, he had a stable life of managing and utilizing natural resources such as chestnut forests.
We have the technology to make high-quality earthenware with an original design, and that earthenware belongs to the oldest category in the world.
Sophisticated items such as elaborate earrings and lacquered combs.
More than 20,000 clay figurines whose meanings and uses are still mysterious.
A large number of stones were carefully arranged to form a stone circle, where ceremonies were performed in line with the celestial bodies.
Jōmon people familiar with the movement of the sun and had already learned the concept of time.
Life in the Jōmon period was peaceful with no fighting. That age continued for nearly 20,000 years. This is amazingly long!!
Suffering caused by the ancient conversion: From the Jōmon period to the Yayoi period
When the transition from the Jōmon period to the Yayoi period took place, Japanese culture and social systems changed significantly. On top of that transformation, the current Japanese society continues.
In the Jōmon period, people had equal relationships based on hunting and gathering. In hunting and gathering, they basically got what they needed at that time.
Therefore, they did not accumulate their own assets. On the other hand, in the Yayoi period, people had an agricultural life based on orderly collective actions and plans. In an agricultural society, storing rice caused a gap between rich and poor, and caused competition for land.
After entering to Yayoi period, the entire society became hierarchical, rationalization was promoted, wealth was concentrated on some people.
Also, the planet Earth and all living beings that are its inhabitants are being hurt. In other words, now is the high time for reform.
That is the age of Aquarius.
Conclusion
We have just entered the age of Aquarius, the age of "freedom," "equality," and "transformation" from the 2000 long-standing "separation," "control," and "material" advantages of Pisces.
Breaking down the hierarchy and wealth sharing will be a major business theme.
In the transformation, the "water carrier" of the age of Aquarius, Ganymēdēs, who distributes water (water metaphor), will be our targeted role who enters the world of God.
To know the values of the age of Aquarius rests in Jōmon culture. In other words, we must learn a new way of life from the days of the distorted ancient Utopia.
In times of rapid change, it is good to
have a principle and a motto.
I recommend to have a principle of life, “plain living and high thinking.”
This principle is almighty.
Whatever happens in the real world, it
has shown me what action to take.
There is a nice Japanese idiomatic phrase
that combines "plain living" and "high thinking".
"yu u zu u mu ge"
This is also my favorite motto.
In this phrase,
"yu u zu u" means "being flexible."
On the other hand, “mu ge” means “unobstructed.”
"Yu u zu u mu ge" has various
interpretations as follows:
Great flexibility and no obstruction
exist at all on the behavior.
Mutually communicate heterogeneity
without any obstacles.
Things go smoothly without any obstacles.
Don't stick to one way of thinking, see things freely and deal with them
better.
Either way, it teaches us that
flexibility matters.
I am convinced that there is real freedom beyond reason. To do so,
Therefore, I want to value the flexible sensibility that makes it possible.
"Serendipity" suggests that
sensitivity is more important than reason
The force of seizing the chance of
good luck is known as "serendipity."
Serendipity is essentially the same as
"yu u zu u mu ge".
Many scientists and artists prefer this phrase though, "serendipity" is also beneficial to the general public.
The origin of "serendipity is "The Three Princes of Serendip,'' an old
Persian fairy tale dating back over a thousand
years.
The point is that if we use our
sensibilities every day, there will be unexpected new discoveries other than
those predicted, and they will become important in the future.
If many people
exercise their “serendipity” and generate unexpected ideas and discoveries, it may be possible
to create a happier society than expected.
Practice of Plain Living and High
Thinking
The practice of “Plain Living and High
Thinking” is to stop habitual reactions.
Make sure you
don't get involved in messy relationships. This practice is also effective in
helping the four families live together.
Changes in lifestyles due to coronasWe live in urban areas and our living space is more compact than in rural areas, so it is difficult to secure a private space. Finally my two children started a
quarrel.
I tried not to get involved in this messy relationship.
In front of their serious quarrel, I took
a deep breath and intuitively understood what I was supposed to do. I didn't
stop the quarrel directly.
Following my intuition, I began to throw away
unnecessary things. Then, I cleaned up and started to create a space.
In the
process, I found foods near their expiration date and used them to cook.
I
realized that the living space was being purified. I worked 100% positively for
absolute harmony, even near the battle.
Conclusion
“Plain living and high thinking” is a useful principle in a chaotic and rapidly changing world. The
practice of this principle requires both flexibility and not losing sight of
yourself. In particular, to keep your mind peaceful even if conflicts occur
around you. Let's flexibly follow the path of absolute harmony without being
bound by reason. There is nothing else.
In the doctrine of the Tendai sect, a school of Buddhism, "ichi nen san zen". It means that the three thousand realms are contained in one mind.
It is regarded as the ultimate principle of the Tendai sect among others.
In my interpretation, it means that people's thoughts include all possibilities. In other words, your future will change depending on which timeline you steer.
So if you vaguely live without thinking, that's a big problem. It is very effective to draw a vision for the future that is as clear as possible.
As for me, when I was in high school, I drew an image of my future home. It's a clean, modern living, and I live with my husband and two children. Twenty years later, I realized that was a reality.
Life is not linear. Multiple future time lines spread in front of you in parallel. What future do you choose? Be aware of your future choices. You choose the future.
Imagination and Creation for Ideal Future: Better Paradigm Shift
We should reconsider the "image of a uniform future" that has been imagined as an extension of modernization and science and technology development, as an image of the "future" with multiple possibilities. In other words, by aiming for a better paradigm shift, we can choose a time line that leads to a brighter society and proceed.
Paradigm shift is more important than it is now. So it's the worst to be vaguely tossed. This means that each person is responsible for the future of society.
The future of the individual is closely related to the future of society.
Therefore, for the sake of your happy future, many people would like to choose a timeline that will lead to a desirable global environment and social system.
Now we are in a wonderful paradigm shift like a miracle
Some people realize that a wonderful paradigm shift like a miracle is happening now.
Mankind has been repeating wars, but I also feel that the current society is shifting to utopia.
New possibilities are emerging for creating a sustainable and happy society. Otherwise, humankind will be extinct.
I feel that a wonderful future another story already exists potentially. It is a society in which Basic Income that eliminates economic disparities, free energy that creates inexhaustible wealth, ecological industries are commonplace and flying cars.
The idea that each person has another reality, apart from this reality, creates a new era by imagining.
I realize that the times that were so heavy until now are already past.
Conclusion
The doctrine of Buddhism teaches us that the three thousand realms are contained in one mind. In other words, the most important thing is to set the direction of your feeling vector to the brighter one. Then, a miraculous future will become a reality. That is true even in society.
Shinto says that if
you follow Cosmic Will, you will get what you need, when you need it, and when
you need it, through connections with society and people.
In order to access
Cosmic Will, daily meditation is effective.
Cosmic Will is a dynamic absolute
harmony in that what you need comes while you don't store what you don't need.
Cosmic Will, a dynamic absolute harmony,
appears in front of us as synchronicity. Synchronicity is simply defined as
"meaningful coincidence." Synchronicity, although not yet
scientifically proven, is something that many people experience. For example:
Contact from someone who wants to meet,
The other person suggests what you
wanted to do,
See repdigit continuously Meet unexpected people
Synchronicity: Tips for keeping the subconscious with Cosmic Will
Synchronicity is also the key to keep the
subconscious with Cosmic Will. So it's a real signal from yourself.
When your subconscious mind
is with Cosmic Will, a miracle-like event happens to you. It looks like a
coincidence, but it is an inevitable event.
We can find out about our wonderful
state of subconsciousness by encountering a series of favorable
synchronicities.
Make synchronicity your side for
prosperity
It would be great if we could take advantage of synchronicity and
upgrade to a happier life.
In fact, synchronicity hides the message of trying
to make life better. So, if you put synchronicity on your side, the universe
will support you every day like a mysterious miracle.
A coincidence means a
spiritual sign. It's an amazing sequence of synchronicities, a reflection of
your own spiritual world.
Depending on your subconsciousness, freedom,
abundance and joy will come to you. So be proactive and bring Cosmos to your
side and enjoy a joyful life.
Cosmos is hoping that people with Cosmic Will
will prosper.
Tips for Synchronicity
In order to prosper in a series of
miracles called synchronicity, in addition to meditation, you need a
well-balanced state in every sense.
I haven't fully accomplished all of the
above, but I've done much better than before. This made life much easier for me
than before. And, more often, in my daily life, I am more thankful and
inspiring.
In other words, it can be said that my flow of time is in the
torrent of prosperity, the "Cosmic Zone."
Originally, we can accept
this "Cosmic Zone" as the "Base Position". That is very
natural in nature.
Summary
Shinto says that if you follow Cosmic
Will through social and human connections, you will get what you need, when you
need it, and when you need it.
Cosmic Will appears in front of us as synchronicity.
Cosmos hopes that people with Cosmic Will will prosper.
In order to prosper in
a series of miracles called synchronicity, in addition to meditation, a well-balanced
state in every sense is required.
But that is not enough now. What we have to keep in mind is also how to shorten the screen time. Because we cannot live without screen time now. But it has negative impact on both mind and body.
When I was little, my parents advised me to stay five meters away from the TV screen. However, now the PC screen is only about 30 cm away from my face. As for the iPhone and iPad, I am touching the screen, and the screen and I are in close contact. What does that mean!
Radio waves that stiffen a relaxing sense that harmonizes with nature
While walking through the forest, I could enjoy the wonder of nature.
However, now that I always have a mobile phone in my hand, which locks in my true freedom of mind.
It is like the iron sand is forced to form by magnets. In other words, without a magnet, mind tunes to the beautiful vibrations of nature.
Negative impact of screen time on mind and body
You should be aware of minimizing screen time. Otherwise, you'll waste your life.
Let me introduce my recent mistakes. Last weekend, I spent 12 hours surfing the internet. However, my primitive body is not accustomed to the rays from electronic devices. Therefore, the next morning, I felt a physical sickness as well as self-loathing.
Shrine mirrors suggest God we encounter deep in our inner consciousness
There are no god statues at shinto shrines. Instead, there is a round mirror in a shrine.
So in that mirror you see your own face, not the deity.
Once at a shrine, I saw my face in the mirror and experienced the wonders of this world. And I was impressed by the idea of the ancients.
What they wanted to pass on to posterity is, in the end, God will appear when we deepen our inner consciousness.
And we will find that the God who appeared is ourselves. Thus, in Shinto, people approach God.
Fortunate life depends on where you focus your attention
Fortunate life depends on where you turn your "consciousness". Then, the situation in the world changes according to the direction of consciousness.
Don't confuse "consciousness" with "thinking." Being conscious is not the same as the will to forcefully change the surroundings. This is because "consciousness" and "thinking" are two different things. It is the consciousness, not the will to forcefully change the surroundings that can change the surroundings into a desirable world.
So if you can control your "consciousness," you can transform your surroundings as you wish. That is, your soul goes where you are aware, and the world around you changes accordingly.
Therefore, controlling "consciousness" is the essence of happiness.
So the first step is to be aware of what you are aware of. Once you can control your "consciousness," your life becomes more comfortable.
Tips to control "Awareness"
If you can control what you are aware of, you can make your life more comfortable. So how can we do that? Here are some tips for controlling what you're aware of:
Focus on a fascinating future
Focus on your breathing (especially exhaling)
Write your thoughts in a notebook and check your thoughts
Why don't you try to do the things you can while arranging the above?
The secret to entrust to the subconscious
The ultimate ideal way of life is to leave it to the subconscious.
The subconscious here is not the consciousness of others, but our own deep consciousness, which is God.
Subconsciousness works on everything we are aware of. For example, if you wake up in the morning and feel the gratitude of having a new day, it will be a wonderful day.
On the contrary, if you feel uncomfortable from the morning, something unpleasant happens. Using the subconscious is not simple.
The reason for changing reality is that negative reactions often occur. First, accept as it is. Then, through the dialogue with the subconscious, you will find comfort from them.
When in good harmony with the subconscious mind, unnatural powers and thoughts disappear, eventually leading you to the desired stage of life.
Do not let the ego rule your mind
To control the subconscious, it is important not to let the ego control the mind.
The ego is a strong concentration of consciousness.
Since it is an unnatural force, a reaction occurs. Reactions, even temporary desired outcomes, ultimately result in illness, incompatibility, conflict, and so on.
So we have to distinguish between ego and harmonious peace.
Harmonious peace is based on a natural sense. On the other hand, the ego is a selfish force that is separated from harmony.
We must not let the ego destroy ourselves.
To keep your mind from being controlled by the ego, you should occasionally relax your brain and body.
Summary
Shrine mirrors eventually suggest that God appears when we deepen our inner consciousness. And controlling consciousness is the sign of happiness.
First, accept as it is.
And through dialogue with the subconscious you will find harmonious peace in the world around you.
When in good harmony with the subconscious mind, unnatural powers and thoughts disappear, eventually leading you to the desired stage of life.
The important thing is to keep a soft subconscious mind, not unnatural concentration.
The most important thing to live is how much you can accumulate virtue in this life. A good way to live is a trick. If you don't know this rule, it will be a big problem later. However, usually people don't notice the cause and effect.
Virtue does not mean taking a high social position or acquiring a huge fortune. In other words, virtue is accumulated by daily attitudes and has nothing to do with the results achieved.
And the amount of virtue you accumulate will determine how lucky you are in the next life. But we tend to value results. Too much concerning the result reduces the amount of virtue.
In fact, it's easy to accumulate virtue by optimizing your daily living attitude.
Premortal virtue and luck in this world
We are born into this world, taking over the virtues of the previous life.
If the amount of virtue in the previous life was small, the fortune of this life becomes bad. Therefore, some people are lucky and some are unlucky since they were born.
The law of nature is equal. It doesn't favor anyone.
So don't overestimate good luck just because you're lucky in this world.
If you are living a terrible life, you will quickly run out of your fortunes saved in your previous life.

How to Improve your Destiny by Eating
Any fate can be changed with a proper diet for three years. Nanboku Mizuno (1760–1834), a Japanese master of physiognomy, proved that.
Nanboku Mizuno was born in a poor family. He sinned and entered prison. However, he improved his tragic fate by eating and chewing well.
Despite his lowly status, he established a high degree of credibility and advised many high-ranking aristocrats and lords, including the Emperor.
