As mentioned in the introduction, are you familiar with the term "Copernican shift"?
There is a fundamental difference between the belief that "the sun revolves around the earth" and the realization that "the earth actually revolves around the sun." This is a complete 180-degree reversal in perspective.
I have often referred to this term in my seminars to illustrate the idea that unless we experience such a shift within ourselves, we will never truly see the truth.
So, what do I mean by a Copernican shift?
It is this:
"We are not physical beings; we are consciousness. We are eternal life and energy, existing in the world of vibrations."
Though this truth can be expressed in just two lines, I am not asking you to understand it with your intellect. Instead, I ask that you grasp it with your heart.
However, this realization does not come easily. It will take a great deal of time for you to truly understand it.
Yet, one day, you will undoubtedly come to know this truth within your heart. And when you do, your way of perceiving the world, your way of thinking, and your value system will undergo a complete transformation.
You will begin to see life and death from an entirely different perspective.
And then, you will finally understand why you have taken on a physical form in this lifetime.
To realize this truth, a shift from identifying with the physical self to recognizing consciousness as our true essence is absolutely essential.
In other words, we must transition from the belief that "I am my physical body" to the realization that "I am consciousness." This transformation of the heart is crucial.
However, this shift is not easily achieved. The attachment to our physical identity is deeply ingrained.
Even those who acknowledge the existence of an unseen world still hold their fundamental perspective from the standpoint of the physical. They continue to perceive reality through the framework of the material world.
As long as this shift does not take place within them, they will never truly reach the truth—no matter how far they go.
In this lifetime, consciousness has awakened. The world of consciousness is in motion, and its flow continues smoothly, without stagnation.
This flow of consciousness will also stir something within you. In the times ahead, messages will reach you through the forms and events that unfold in your life.
You will hear the call:
"Come, let us ride this flow together. Let us walk this path together."
This message will resonate in your heart.
I hope that you will receive it with sincerity.
It is a gentle, gentle invitation.
I ask that you awaken to the version of yourself that can recognize this truth.
Every living being emits vibrations.
To feel and understand this world of vibrations with your heart—this is the path to knowing the truth.
The world of vibrations alone speaks the truth.
There is no truth outside of the world of vibrations.
Throughout human history, an immense amount of energy has accumulated within our hearts.
The energy that regards the physical as real is an energy of destruction and domination—a black energy.
No one can claim to be truly kind or righteous.
We have lost sight of what true kindness is.
We no longer know what true happiness or joy is.
Lost in a vortex of ignorance, ego, and desire, we have become unable to understand anything at all.
This is the reality of us as human beings.
Now that we have begun to approach the core of the discussion, let us take a look at your everyday life.
Day after day, through the media, you are bombarded with images and reports that vividly expose the madness of human society.
Isn't it clear how far humanity has fallen?
One after another, news stories reveal human foolishness in its rawest form.
The distortions of society are fueling a surge in heinous crimes.
Bullying, child abuse, war, and terrorism—each of these is a reflection of a world that has lost its way.
The dark, misguided thoughts of adults who do not know the truth are undoubtedly seeping into the hearts of the younger generation.
To escape from reality, many turn to alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs.
Though still young in age, their bodies are deteriorating, their hearts exhausted, their souls devoid of life.
More and more young people are falling into this state.
Amid such a social climate, the dark energy that lies dormant within human hearts is erupting even before these individuals reach adulthood.
The result is the increasing prevalence of youth-driven crimes.
Through television, magazines, and other forms of media, this trend is further amplified, escalating at an alarming rate.
Yet, adults fail to understand why this is happening.
Even as children's hearts grow more desolate and cry out in silent anguish, those who lack true understanding continue to discuss the issue within the narrow confines of their limited experiences and academic knowledge.
In the end, unable to reach a solution, time simply passes, and the problem remains unresolved.
Meanwhile, war rages everywhere.
In families, there are conflicts between husbands and wives, between parents and children, between in-laws.
In schools, there is the battle of entrance exams.
In workplaces, there is corporate warfare.
On a larger scale, nations and ethnic groups stand against each other, each claiming righteousness, each asserting their cause.
And the fighting continues until the opponent is completely crushed.
The world is plunging deeper into confusion, and this downward spiral cannot be stopped.
We humans have already fallen to this extent, yet we remain blind to our own reality.
That is why people continue to proclaim:
"I am right."
"I have done nothing wrong."
"I am a good person."
But this illusion will not last forever.
Sooner or later, humanity will walk the path of realization—the path of recognizing its own foolishness.
Each of us will give ourselves the opportunity to awaken once more.
Natural Disasters
: The Greatest Message of Love
Why is this happening?
Because we are love.
Do you understand?
Because we are love, we will awaken to ourselves.
Yes, we are awakening to true love.
That is why natural disasters occur.
And not just small ones—large-scale catastrophes will unfold.
Natural disasters are not the wrath of God.
They are expressions of joy.
They are manifestations of the energy that guides us toward awakening to the truth.
And now, the only means left for us humans to awaken is through these great natural disasters.
In other words, these disasters are the ultimate and final act of love given to us.
For ages, we, as human beings, have positioned ourselves at the pinnacle of existence, believing that we could claim ownership not only over the earth but even over the universe.
All the while, we have been releasing massive amounts of dark energy into the cosmos.
Because of this, the Earth is now in a critical state—on the brink of collapse.
Even in this dire condition, however, the Earth continues to call out to us:
"Awaken."
This is the warning the planet is sending us.
That warning takes the form of the countless natural disasters occurring across the world today, as well as the unprecedented disasters that we will face in the future.
The unprecedented natural disasters that will come upon us carry a message:
"Let go of the gods you hold in your hearts."
Until we free our hearts from the grasp of religion, we will never know true happiness.
To realize that we have always been happy from the very beginning, we must first release the gods we have clung to in our hearts.
The longing to be saved, the act of offering prayers—these misplaced beliefs must be recognized for what they are.
And so, this message will come to us in the form of unimaginable natural disasters.
However, do not misunderstand.
These messages are not sent by some external force.
We are the ones delivering them to ourselves.
We, ourselves, are sending this message:
"The gods you created outside of yourself hold no power to save you."
"What you have worshipped as divine is nothing more than an energy of domination and destruction—a force that only deepens the chaos and plunges you further into darkness."
"And yet, we have aligned ourselves with this dark power, feeding our desires and expanding our greed."
"This is the truth of what we have been."
"And even now, it continues."
"The energy that each individual, still ignorant of the truth, releases into the universe is immense."
"But now, at last, the time has come for us to recognize it."
"The time has come for us to awaken."
Just now, I mentioned the word “universe.”
However, when I speak of the universe, I do not mean what most people imagine—space stations, space travel, the solar system, or galaxies.
Rather, I am referring to the world of consciousness, the world of vibrations.
I will discuss this in more detail in Chapter 10: We Will Shift Dimensions with the Universe, but for now, let me say this:
The universe is vast, boundless, and infinitely expansive.
It is a world filled with warmth and love—a world of consciousness, a world of vibrations.
That is the true nature of the universe.
And in fact, that is the true nature of us as well.
Yet, we have turned this universe—our true world—into darkness.
By living as though the physical world is real, we have become utterly foolish beings.
Chasing after fleeting desires, protecting ourselves, seeking recognition, struggling to assert our existence—
We have spent our days driven by these impulses, and even now, we continue down the same path.
Yet, humans do not consider themselves foolish.
They proclaim with pride:
“We are the supreme beings of all creation.”
“With our intelligence and courage, we can conquer even the universe.”
But such arrogance, fueled by unchecked desire, will inevitably return to us.
This is because it is fundamentally out of alignment with the natural rhythm of the universe.
Whatever energy we release will always come back to us.
This is the law of the universe—the unchanging law of the world of consciousness.
Far from being the supreme beings of all creation, humanity is, in truth, the most corrupt and destructive force in existence.
And yet—
Even within this long history of degeneration, we are finally beginning to awaken to our mistakes.
It is we ourselves who are guiding us toward this realization.
Of course, the path ahead is steep.
We will experience the moment of realization again and again.
But this flow cannot be stopped.
It cannot be reversed.
The flow we are now entering is one in which touching the true vibrations of the universe will bring greater awareness and awakening.
No matter how much knowledge humanity accumulates, this flow remains firm and unwavering.
The more we resist it, the more our own actions will return to us.
And through this, we will come to realize our own foolishness—
We will come to see the smallness of the physical world.
The physical world is nothing but a fleeting shadow.
Yet, we have lived believing that it is real.
That belief was mistaken.
And now, we must face the consequences of that mistake.
We must come to understand that we, too, exist within the unchanging law of the universe.
Certainly, human society has long upheld its own rules and laws.
In time, societies established legal systems to protect life and property, creating structures that bind people together in order to maintain order.
However, these laws change with time and vary from country to country.
They are not absolute.
But the laws of the universe—the true laws of consciousness—do not belong to such a category.
They are eternal and unchanging.
And the truth is, we can only exist within these universal laws.
In a way, these laws are us.
Thoughts that deviate from them inevitably return as suffering.
But suffering is not something to be overcome.
It is a message—an invitation to awaken.
Through suffering, we are reminded that within us exists an abundance of warmth and love.
When we can accept suffering as joy, when we can cultivate and nurture that understanding within our hearts—
