Hello, I'm Kazu. On this blog I write about the true self discovery and about Yasuyuki Sato who has developed various kinds of methods to enable people to awaken to their true self (their god nature inside) , as well as experiences of people who actually discovered it from my own view.
This is the continued story of Mr.Sato's earlier days.
Mr. Sato achieved a huge business success at such a young age, but contrary to all his achievement he started to struggle deep down in his heart.
Back then, he devoted himself energetically to work and exerted his ingenuity, as he kept making robust growth. However, his employees could hardly keep up with his pace. Mr. Sato gradually found it difficult to put trust in them. He had a large doubt in his mind.
Moreover, as he developed his business, he was also haunted by worries and apprehension . He started to question himself about his purpose in life, though he plunged headlong into the next.
He inspired employees greatly on the one hand, but he was torn apart on the other. He sometimes scrabbled at his own skin to such an extent that he got bleeding all over. He felt so much stressful that his body reacted vigorously on even getting into the test kitchen in his company.
As he was seriously depressed, he was convinced that a man will die without stirring hand or foot when he completely shuts his mind. At this time he had a near death experience. Then again, he questioned himself what he really wanted, what his purpose in life was , and what fulfilled him the most over and over again for three entire days. Finally he got the answer!
It was obviously not the restaurant business, but the moment when he encouraged or inspired people. It actually satisfied him while he was both in the sales and restaurant business. In that instant, he felt his soul lift and felt shower of light was sprinkled over to him. This was the moment when Mr. Sato awakened to his True Self that stayed deep down inside. He could see the truth of everything.
It was an amazing experience itself, but he had another one. It was that he could visualize a method of the true self discovery. However, he was not sure whether people can really uncover their True Self or true nature inside with the method, he had to test it with real people.
He offered workshops to test it to people around him such as his employees and family members. To his surprise, all those people who had been in different circumstances, could discover their true love deep within and transformed themselves. He became convinced that it was the real thing.
After transferring the ownership of his company to one of his friends, he started to offer the true self discovery seminars on a full scale. In the seminar participants discovered their true self and changed their lives tremendously for the better. It was about 30 years from now.
I could learn a lot of lessons from his real life experience. I especially like the fact that he tried something new every day so that he could make a personal growth.

佐藤先生の人生 4
こんにちは。谷和代です。
このブログでは、自分の中にある「本当の自分」＝真我に出会うメソッドを開発された佐藤康行先生や真我について、また実際に真我に出会った方々の体験等を私自身の視点から書いています。
佐藤先生のこれまでの人生体験の続きです。
３０代にして誰もが驚く勢いでビジネスの成功を収めるのですが、それとは反対に佐藤先生の心はどんどん暗く落ち込んでいくのでした。
誰よりもエネルギッシュに活動し、あふれかえる発想でビジネスを展開していくにつれて、その勢いに周りがついていけず、そのうちに大切にしていた社員が信頼できなくなっていったのです。それと同時にビジネスが大きくなればなるほど不安もつきまとい、自分は一体何をが目的で頑張っているのだろうかという疑問を抱きはじめるのです。
『やるぞ、やるぞ！』っと社員を励ましながらも自分自身の心はずたずたで、時には全身を掻きむしって血だらけになるほど苦しみます。またレストランの研究室に一歩足を踏み入れただけで身体が苦しく反応するのでした。
そして精神がどん底まで落ち込んだ時に、人間は心が死ぬと身体には指一本触れなくても死んでしまうということがわかったといいます。心のドアが全て閉じ、まさに心の臨死体験をします。
そこで、三日三晩自分自身に問い続けるのでした。自分は何が一体したいのか。何が欲しいのか。何に幸せを感じるのか。生きている間に一番したいことは何なのか。それを一人でずっと考えていると、ある瞬間いきなりその答えがみえたのでした！
自分がそれまでの人生で営業時代、レストラン経営を通じて一番喜びややりがいを感じていたのはビジネスの成功ではなく、人を励まし目の前の人にやる気を起こさせているときだと気付いたのです。
その時、完全に閉じていた心のドアが開き真上に魂がすっとあがり、まるで光のシャワーを浴びたような感覚になったといいます。このとき佐藤先生自らが内なる本当の自分に目覚めた瞬間でした。全ての真理が見えるようになったといいます。
これだけでも凄い出来事なのですが、このときに同時にあるカリキュラムが頭の中に一瞬で浮かんだといいます。映像のように見えたそうです。それが真我開発講座のもととなる、本当の自分（真我）に出会うメソッドです。
そうはいっても当初は本当にこれで人々が真我で出会うことができるという確信は持てません。そこで、身近な社員や家族にその手法を試したところ、驚くほどに体験した人達が実際に変化し次々と問題を解決していくのでした。間違いなく本当にこれで真我に出会えるという確信を深めていきます。
レストランの経営権利は知人に譲渡し、何かに導かれるかのように人々の悩みを解決し人生を好転させるための真我開発講座を主催するのでした。約３０年前の出来事です。
佐藤先生の人生体験から本当に多くのことが学べます。私には特に、毎日毎日昨日までできなかったことに挑戦をして、薄皮を剥ぐように一歩一歩自分自身を成長させたという体験がとても心を打ちます。
