Faith Is Justice
Faith Is Justice
First of all, what is religion? To that question, I must respond that it is certainly not about preaching complicated religious theories and philosophies. It is really about creating upright human beings. Religion is, indeed, nothing else. However easy it seems in words, its implementation in reality is a far more difficult task. As Confucius wrote, “It is easier said than done.” Now, let me explain the reason for such difficulty.
​
The fact is that every human being, or at least most of them, assume that in order to earn money or become successful, doing the right things is not enough. They believe that dark forces must be part of the path to success. Moreover, even concerning pleasure and leisure, they consider that bad things are more fun than good things. That thinking has been with us for so many thousands of years, that we have come to think that it makes common sense. And for a long time, laws, ethics and education have been laboriously trying to reform that belief, but, unfortunately, with little success. Given that, it is important to say that there is no practice, other than religion, to achieve that goal. However, the difference in power of the different religions must be taken into account. That is because, a religion with insufficient power cannot possibly defeat evil. The same is true for disbelievers who cannot help themselves from misbehaving. In any religion, believers who are determined to carry out justice until the very end are exceedingly rare.
​
From all off the above, I must conclude that a religion with the power to defeat evil shall appear. Only then, will a better society and a happy peaceful world be born. That is meant by the statement which we advocate – Truth Is Justice.

True Health And Apparent Health
True Health And Apparent Health
I assert that all human beings in the world today, or at least most of the people of culture, are sick. The only distinction is whether the disease has declared itself or not. In other words, people known as sick today are the one whose disease has already emerged (the declared sick), whereas people who are known as healthy are the ones whose disease is hidden (the undeclared sick).
It is unnecessary to explain about the declared sick, so I will only elaborate here about the undeclared ones. As I previously said, the undeclared sick are toxin carriers whose purification process has not operated yet on the hardened toxins. True health consists of possessing a toxin-free physical body where no purification process is necessary. The problem with the undeclared sick is that because they maintain their health and manage their everyday life without problems, they are unaware of the toxins they maintain. Also, medical examinations declare them as healthy because the held toxins are difficult to be found by current medical procedures. And that is what I call the Apparent Health.
Also, the medical profession frequently states that sickness and life span have nothing to do with each other, but this statement is so absurd that it is hard to believe. Indeed, nothing is more inseparably related than sickness and life span. This is simply an excuse to mask their inability to cure disease. Nowadays, they talk about preventive medicine and present it as something different and apart from curative medicine, which is also totally illogical. Again, they are certainly obliged to say so in order to mask their inability to cure disease.

The Error of Medical Science
The Error of Medical Science
When we speak about health, we should certainly first grasp the substance of sickness itself. However, the interpretation of sickness by today’s medicine has fallen into an alarming error. Proof is, no matter how much progress medical science has made, it has yet to even identify the cause of the common cold. Starting from this fact, I am going to explain sickness in detail. Originally, the cause of illness is a physiological action of nature, whose principle is common to all matters. For example, all things necessarily accumulate impurities both physically and spiritually, and in order to promote purification, a natural action occurs in direct proportion. Indeed, this is a principle of nature that operates without even a slight deviation. On a larger scale, a storm occurs because of the impurities accumulated on Earth, and those impurities are blown off by the power of the wind and are washed out by rainwater while the sunlight dries the land. On a small scale, when dust accumulates in the house, we dust it off with a duster, sweep it with a broom and throw it in the trash can – and all of the garbage is dumped into a waste treatment center to be burned. This is the way things go and the same process can be observed for the human body.
For whatever reason, the human body also accumulates impurities, both spiritually and physically, and for that, a natural purification process occurs. This is sickness, and it is evidenced by the fact that as the purification process starts, fever develops. In fact, the accumulated toxins harden as time goes by, so that fever is needed to liquefy the mass. Thanks to the fever, the mass of toxins dissolve and become liquid, which liquid is released from the body through phlegm, running nose, sweat, urine or diarrhea. And as this purification process involves pain, that pain has been designated as sickness. Therefore, thanks to that process, the internal part of the body gets purified and health will improve. Indeed, sickness is a natural physiological action aimed to improve health, and there is nothing finer than that. We could say that it is totally the biggest blessing given by God.
Because people did not get that meaning at all until today, current medicine exists from having interpreted sickness the opposite way. Not only can we imagine how much of an error medical science has fallen into, but we can only be surprised by the fact that medical science has not, for a long time, even slightly noticed its mistake. And when we think of the several millions of precious lives that have been sacrificed because of that mistake until today, we are all the more saddened about it. Since medicine started from such error, the more it progresses, the more deeply it will continue to veer the wrong way and will certainly be more and more isolated from the right path. Above all, the discrepancy between the mistaken theory of sickness and the reality of sickness is huge. And against such reality, the misinformed believe that in order to eliminate sickness, medical science has to progress even more. For that, they make efforts to study even harder, which actually is a big problem. Oh, what a tragedy! When I look at this situation, I think to myself: if this error is not to be corrected, then what will become of humanity’s future? It is something truly difficult to foresee.

Truth And Untruth
Truth And Untruth
People have been talking about truth since ancient times, but it seems that nobody talked about untruth, that is to say, fallacy. However, on examining any practical problem, we have to acknowledge the difference between truth and fallacy. As a matter of fact, the result is closely related to that distinction. And I think, very often, that people mistake fallacy for truth – but they just do not realize it.
Fallacy and truth exist in all of religions, philosophies, sciences, arts and methods of education. Regarding all matters, fallacy collapses after several years, several dozens of years, or several hundreds of years, but truth is eternal and remains unchanged. At the time something new is discovered, people believe it is the ultimate truth – but very often, this will collapse too once a newer theory or discovery appears. In the same manner, who could guarantee that great religions will not disappear after hundreds of thousands of years? Of course, there are cases where all of a religion does not perish and only the fallacious aspects of it disappear, whereas the truthful parts remain. And even though nothing remains from it, as it had played a role in the development of culture until that time, nobody would blame it. Finally, the fact that fallacies close to the truth last longer than those far from the truth is a principle of causality.
The truth is that although intellects and heralds of a given time have the responsibility to distinguish truth from fallacy, there are very few people with such brilliant insight. Nevertheless, it can happen that a fallacy will last for a very long time. Absolutism and feudalism are examples of fallacies that have been mistaken for truths. Mussolini’s fascism, Hitler’s Nazism and Tojo’s Hakko-Ichiu (universal brotherhood) were very short lived but strangely enough, nobody noticed they were fallacies at the time. That way, they made people perceive their ideologies as the truth when they were not, and they treated human lives without concern. And the many people who ended up sacrificed because of these sorts of illusions are still clearly engraved in our memories.
Moreover, we cannot overlook the abundance of truth and untruth in religion. Countless minor religions rose and fell; some were even glorious in the beginning but almost entirely were forgotten, and some disappeared without leaving a trace. This was, of course, because they were all fallacious religions. Therefore, as long as religion has the value of truth, even though it suffers strong opposition for a time, one day it will certainly rise and become a great religion. One could agree with that statement by looking at the current great religions.

God's Art
As we are living in the present, we should know in what kind of era we live. That being said, what I am trying to say is that, thanks to the invention of the radio and television, we are now able to get in an instant, any information on any event happening around the world. Indeed, our material culture has progressed to that extent in no time. Then what on earth could this fact mean? This is an extremely crucial point, and if one is not aware of it, then one is not qualified to speak about modern culture.
For the past couple of years, words such as the “World Nation” and the “World Government” have been advocated in the United States. This certainly hints at the birth of a utopia in a near future, which ought to be a big matter. When this will happen, a president of the world will certainly be elected. And any nation will be able to present a candidate among its people. Following the birth of this new world, great changes should, of course, be made in many fields, among which the revolution of human thought should be the foundation. The many doctrines will be swept away and thoughts will be unified.
For a better understanding, let me illustrate this point. Imagine that a great artist paints a big picture called “the world.” In that case, he expresses the supreme beauty with each line and color; it is God’s art without imperfection. One can easily imagine that the preparation involved to paint a worldwide picture required several thousands of years. And what is most important is the first line, that is to say the border on which was spent many months and years. Once this line is done, then the colors come next. To color the picture, the painter needs red, blue, yellow, white, purple and many other diversified ranges of colors. Suppose that those colors are nations and countries. This is very hypothetical so please read the following with that in mind. Countries fulfill their role according to their proper color. The worldwide masterpiece can be created thanks to this skillful line and those diversified colors, and that is the very art of the almighty God. Until now, however, humanity considered one’s peculiar color as supreme and tried to paint the world masterpiece only with its own color. Needless to say, that nations could not succeed this way. Of course, their failure is due in part because they did not wait for the right moment. Japan’s and Germany’s defeat clearly demonstrates this fact. According to this principle, each doctrine and each thought are only one type of color made by a person and it is impossible for it to paint over the outside of the line. Rather, it will provoke a friction with other countries aiming to do the same, and this becomes the cause of conflicts. This behavior may succeed for a while but it could not last for long. It becomes a hindrance to the world masterpiece painted by God, which is based on His love for humanity. See, since ancient times, many war heroes have been revered, but in the end they all have been punished for having obstructed God’s art. Therefore, the upcoming powerful nation should not paint other countries with its own color but should make other countries’ proper color shine more vividly and more beautifully. That kind of policy meet’s God’s will and the ideal world will be born.
From all the above, we have to think about religion. Even for religion, each cult and each fraction has tried to color the other – until now. This way of behaving not only conflicts with the progress of the time, but it also differs with the implementation of God’s plan. Therefore, we should realize God’s profound will hiding behind the progress of culture, and in order to create the new ideal world, let’s bring together all of the religions in a body and stride forward hand-in-hand.
