Hello, I'm Kazu. Have you ever thought about ”who you really are”? You might sometimes wonder what you actually want to do in life, even though you strive hard for your better life.
Your True Self, the most wonderful self knows all the answers.
"The true self" here doesn't mean your true feeling or real intention that is often compared with stated reasons, but the authentic self that is united as one with life of everything in the whole universe including all the natural elements.
Therefore, of course it is common for all humanity. It is the most wonderful self that lies deep down within you.
Ever since I discovered my true self through a seminar developed by Yasuyuki Sato, I have experienced so many changes in life, and I myself got a qualification to offer the true self discovery seminar.
As I present workshops both in Japanese and English, I have witnessed many wonderful experiences of people from different countries who actually met their true nature.
Today I'll write about a foreign student who joined the workshop that I offered in Yotsya, Tokyo yesterday.
She came to Japan from Romania about 7 months ago, and now she studies psychology at Japanese university.
She was a mature woman for her age, but she also displayed a very charming smile.
The reason why she decided to come to Japan was to find something new about herself in this country that is quite different from her own.
She came to Japan with a lot of dreams and hopes. However, once she actually started to live in Tokyo, she was disappointed to face such hard realities as unfamiliar surroundings and Japanese unique culture, especially "hone to tatemae" that is "real intention and stated reasons".
On top of that, she was injured and she felt uneasy about her life in Japan.
She said that her mother had rather spoiled her by giving in to her demands before she came to Japan, so it was good for her to become independent here in this country.
However, she lost more and more confidence living alone in this country, and she even started to question her own worth.
As she really wanted to change her life, she decided to join the workshop yesterday.
At first she hesitated to do the exercise a little and found it difficult, as she hadn't got used to such a workshop.
But she tried her best, and at one point, she suddenly started to write so fast like auto writing.
All of a sudden she said, "It's awesome! Now I don't care much about negative things, but I can see more bright side of life" with her eyes wide open. She surely looked different. And she kept doing the exercise furthermore.
Finally she uttered amazing words!
"It is surprising! I have devalued myself and lived as if I only had some change in my pocket. But now I feel that I found huge amount of buried treasure inside myself. I've never felt like this"
I was the one who was stunned by her words, because it was exactly the same as what Mr. Sato always says to us!
He says, "Your true self is just like a treasure warehouse in you. Imagine that you live your life as if you only have some change and suddenly you find a warehouse in your backyard. Then you open it and see vast amounts of treasure that never last inside. The more you use it the more you'll have it..."
She was also surprised to know it and said, "I'm very glad to have such a convenient tool that I can use every day. I'm looking forward to my new future." She left the room with a big smile.
Yesterday I was again touched by the greatness of the True Self that all the people have within.

ルーマニア人の体験
自分っていったいなんだろう〜？毎日いろんな人に会ったり、頑張って仕事をしたりしているけれど、自分はいったい本当は何をしたいんだろう〜？って考えたことないですか？
自分の中にある最高に素晴らしい自分「本当の自分」はそんな答えを全部知っています！
ここでいう「本当の自分」とは、人間のいわゆる本音と立前の本音の感情ではありません。人間心ではなく、自然や動植物、宇宙にあるすべてのとひとつの生命、愛そのものの大調和した自分のことです。
ですから、もちろん全人類に共通のものです。どの人の奥にも眠っている最高のこころです。
私は佐藤康行先生のYSメソッドで、真我＝本当の自分に出会い、それまで眠っていた素晴らしい自分自身に気が付き、それと同時に起こるさまざまな現実での変化を体験し、人間のもつ可能性に驚かずにはいられませんでした。
昨日、四谷でのワークショップに参加してくれたルーマニア人留学生の体験を書きます。
日本の大学で心理学を専攻している彼女は来日してちょうど７ヶ月目でした。チャーミングな見た目ですが、前向きでとてもしっかりした女性です。
彼女が日本を選んだ理由は、日本が自分の国と真逆のイメージだったらしく、日本に来ると新しい自分を発見できると思ったからなのです。
いろんな夢をもって日本にやってきましたが、実際に暮らしてみると慣れない環境、日本独特の文化、日本人特有の「本音と建前」、そのうえケガなどのトラブルにも見舞われ不安を感じていたといいます。
ルーマニアで暮らしていたときは、とてもお母さんに甘えていて、何でも思い通りにしてもらっていたのが、日本に来て知らないうちに自立できていたのは良かったといっていました。
しかし、日本で暮らす中でだんだん自分に自信がもてなくなり、自分の価値にも疑問を感じるようになっていたようです。
そんな彼女は自分を変えたくて真我のワークショップに参加しました。
しばらくは慣れないワークにちょっと抵抗を感じていたようで、なかなか上手く書けないと言っていました。
それでも何度も何度も書いていると、ある瞬間からまるで自動書記のように、ものすごいスピードで書き始めたのです！
何時間でも書けそうだといいながら本人もとても驚いていました。
ワークをさらに進めていくと急に目をまん丸にして「これはスゴい！」といい、変化が見え始めました。
「嫌だったマイナスの事が気にならなくなり、心がどんどん明るい方に向いていく！」と明らかに表情が変わった様子でした。
更にさらにすすめていくと、ついに驚きのことばを発したのです！
「本当にビックリです。私は今まで自分にはあまり価値がなく、まるでほんの少しの小銭しか持っていないような気持ちでいました。
それが、今ワークをやって自分の中にビックリするほどの宝ものが埋もれていたと気が付きました！自分の中にこんなにたくさんの宝があったなんて。こんな感覚は初めてです！」
彼女の感想をきいて驚いたのは私のほうでした。なぜなら、彼女が最後に言った感想は、まさにいつも佐藤先生が言っていることと全く同じだったからです！
真我は自分の中の黄金の蔵で、これまでチャリンチャリンの小銭しか持っていないと思って生きていても、裏庭をのぞいてみたら蔵があり、それを開けてみると山ほどの財宝が眠っていた。さらに、その財宝は使えば使うほど増えていく、、という話です。
彼女にもその話をすると驚いたようすで本当に喜んでいました。
「こんな便利な道具を教えてもらえて本当に嬉しいです！毎日つづけてみます。楽しみです。」と明るい笑顔で帰っていきました。
昨日もまた感動とともに真我の確信が深まった一日でした。
