Adventure of the Soul ──All Answers Lie within Us

Rebirth of human beings. Rebirth of Japan. Let’s begin the adventure and challenge for that, starting from yourself.

Introduction
If you are feeling any limitations in your life just now, I want you to remember that you are a soul that is connected to the Universe. The Universe, which contains everything, not only extends infinitely outside us, it also extends infinitely within us; we ourselves are part of the Universe. Everything we need exists within us, such as inexhaustible potential, the power to freely imagine the future, the power to realize what we imagine. By going back to this initial insight, new possibilities are certain to come into view. There is no problem that cannot be solved, be it in the current sense of going nowhere, or any of the numerous problems we may be confronted with in the present of in the future, if we can harness and combine the force of the Universe that exists within each of us. It is time that we begin to believe in the force of the Universe that exists within each one of us. Iti is time that we begin to believe in the force of the Universe that is overflowing within us and take out that force. (Excerpt from Adventure of the Soul ─ Prologue)
