Mioshie

Rev. Eugene on Mioshie

What is Mioshie? Mioshie in PL is “Divine Instruction.” It tells you the reason for receiving the particular Mishirase (sickness, misfortune, injury, etc.). The Mioshie will list all the negative mentality that you had. By praying and practicing what is written on the Mioshie, your Mishirase will be cured.

To give you an example, let say that I came down with a cold. So, I request a Mioshie for my Mishirase of catching a cold. The Mioshie will come back listing all my negative mentality that I had. It could be: 1. Don’t be stubborn; 2. Don’t overly do things; and 3. Don’t complain about others. If I can follow all these, then I will never catch a cold the rest of my life.

In order for a body to be healthy, everything needs to run smoothly. A negative mentality releases chemicals in our body that starts a reaction that eventually leads to a cold, for instance. Therefore, a person who has more positive mentality will be more healthier than not.

To request Mioshie is to know your true self. We can look at other people and know what negative mentality that person has. But, it is very hard to realize your own negative mentality.

Mioshie is the key to being healthy and living a happier life.

Mioshie is Divine Instruction given to PL members to help them learn and improve through Mishirase.

Some days are better then others.

Some days require more attention to one’s personal needs..
We find ourselves dealing with emotions that are not always wanting expression. Suddenly they are in your face so there is no escape.
Life is full of accumulations of small moments. Each moment has full impact, if you are living in the moment.

Does it seem that everyone you meet or interact with just adds to your gloom. Meet your day, head to head. Make it your own. You are the author, the writer,the artist, YOU decide how you want to “play”

Could it be that events and people in your life don’t seem to be “real” Are you “out of step” or are they in a different “play”

Your life is your own, your very own work of art……. Life is Art. you get to decide if you cut corners, if you do, it is your life you will affect, you decide whether you live in shades of gray, or whether your world will be full of colour. We can’t always control events that happen in our lives, but it is our decision, how we react, and assimilate the energy around us.

It may take some doing, but with determination, quiet meditation, you can find balance in your day. One must know unhappiness/sadness to appreciate and treasure the happy moments.

I found my creativity in SL yesterday, the virtual world this month is full of haunted places to visit. By end of day the colour was back … I was relaxed.

Blessings -Today and Always MAKE TODAY YOUR DAY!

Did you know?

If you rub a potato on your snow goggles before you start your descent, do it when you get on the ski lift. rub raw potato over the goggles, and your ride down should be nice and clear.

Out of silver polish, take a few potatoes and boil them up. Remove them from the water and save them for another use. Put your silverware in the potato water, let it sit for about an hour, then remove the silverware and wash. Tarnish should be gone.

One more. Use slices of raw cold potatoes over your eyes, to make the puffiness go away.

Calorie free uses of the multi- purpose potato.

http://www.pinterest.com/pin/66639269459829037/ come on now, click on the link, let me take you to a different place…..

Lessons can be learned through awareness. If you think of the hardest thing for you to do and how much you resist it, then you are looking at your greatest lesson at that moment. don’t let resistance stop you from making changes. Observe yourself, watch how you resist, then go ahead anyway. Here are some non verbal clues, of how our actions often show our resistance… Changing the subject >> Leaving the room >> Going to the bathroom >> Being late >>> Getting sick >> Procrastinating by doing something else, doing busy work, wasting time, etc….

Then of course there are the verbal clues – “I’m waiting for the stars to say it’s OK….>>>>>>> This is not the right environment >>>>> “they ” won’t let me change >>> It’s all “their” fault.>>>> how many more can your fill in here.

Oh and let’s not forget the self concepts >>> Too old >>>>Too young >>>> Too fat>>>> Maybe its just all too much >>>> and if we are honest with ourselves, there are the delaying tactics, denial and fear. Truth is… the process begins the moment we begin to think about making a change.

TAO ..The only constant in life is change …

PL .. Have the courage to take the first step. break free, start something new… believe in yourself and take the first step…

Travel on past the line of trees…

Have a great day, set your mind free…

Good Morning everyone! =^_^= one potato, two potato, three potato, four.… Give me a hug, and I’ll want more! Now to church I’m going, I’m out the door!

It is my pleasure to introduce to you another member of PL

Perfect Liberty is an International church, therefore members who will share with us, at times will do so in both their languages. I do not change their words, or thoughts, but share them with you as they are offered. I love PL so much because as a community we share and grow with the encouragement and support of not only the ministers but fellow members. The Japanese terms are commonly used in PL, You should be able to find the words and their meanings on our website, (link on right) However I will work them in if I can do so without changing the expressions of the writer

Meet Harry (USA), Harry attended Kyososai (the celebrations I wrote about in August) this past July/August. =^_^+ in fact, you will see Harry carrying the Canadian Flag for Canada (he became an honorary Canadian to help me out! True gentleman!!)(see prev. blog)

This was a fun picture taken when we met the actors who perform in the PL children;s theater

Each Kyososai is unique and every year is distinct with the mix of different people
attending. Often for me I try to absorb as much as I can all that goes on at Holyland
during my stay there. The whole time spent there is the rensei training, not just the
official part of the program …. Listening to lectures, taking every opportunity to pray at
the himorogi, conversing, sharing testimonies with the Brazilian members, breathing the
air and working up a sweat just being outside.
But reality hits when I get back from the Holyland. I always seem to receive my
blessings thru Mishirases and intuitions that that help me realize my short comings, last
year it was a nasty bladder infection that haunted me from getting good rest and sleep.
It’s like god is giving me another chance – blessing and salvation after my prayers at the
Himorogi. This year it was a flu symptom that bothered me physically, but also the way
my wife told me what a pest I was to her. I never thought I was a pest probing and
inquiring about what she did and did not do. I always thought I gave her a lot of latitude,
but apparently not. My mishirase brought me to church and the consultation for
oyashikiri helped me realize that I needed to back off and give her more space and not to
probe unnecessarily. It was the words my minister spoke that triggered my intuition. I
have always prayed to try to understand my wife and I never could, I was being a pest
and suffocating her. All this time I could not realize that my actions were killing her
spirits. Thank you, Oshieoyasama.

Mishirase: Divine warning from God, in the form of an illness, a misfortune, an accident pain or suffering

Oyashikiri Prayer– The special prayer to receive the blessings of Oshieoya-sana’s Shikiri

Shikiri – PL’s unique way of prayer, asking God’s blessing with a sincere promise to accomplish what we have to do

Oshieoya-sama – Honorific title of the spiritual leader of PL, Rev. Takahito Miki

Thank you Harry for sharing your testimony with us.

Blessings to each and everyone of you, now and always…

Learning is a Lifelong Process

“No matter your age, there is something to be learned and there is always room for improvement. Always remember that there is wisdom to be gained from any situation.”

The day I had today, had me coming home and digging through my PL teachings, till I found the above lesson. Life doesn’t always provide me with a clear picture. I have to come home and process the feelings and emotions I picked up along my journey (running errands)

I just finished reading Louise Penny’s the Beautiful Mystery. the story line takes place in a remote part of Quebec in a monastery where two dozen cloistered monks live in peace and prayer. By suppertime today I was ready to transport myself to the serenity of the chapel or one of the cells. Where I could sit/lie down and turn the “chaos” of the world out.. .. simply take, long deep breaths in gathering in the calm, then holding the quiet before letting out the pollution
of the city.

I will visualize the chapel in the Peace Tower in the Holy Land and recall the tranquility I found there.

Closing my eyes, I allow the moment to wash over me…..
Aaahhhh my smile is starting, yes, I feel now that it will be a happy sleep. good night dear reader….

May you too be blessed with the comfort of a loving heart.

Our current ( Third ) Founder is Rev Takahito Miki

The PL 21 Precepts are the basis of the PL Teachings. They reveal the true path of life for all humankind. Beginning with PRECEPT #1 Life is Art” – It is these precepts that I write about and live in my life on a daily basis. For me PL is a way of life. Not just a philosophy or teaching. Like the TAO it transcends all earthly definition. I invite you to join me in my travels in life for we are connected by the ONE and only divine energy of Universal Oneness -God/Tao The flames spell out LIFE IS ART

shaking off negatives

http://youtu.be/DnKmA6rIhpU

This is my fantasy – that like a dog, I could just shake off all the negatives, worries and distractions with one good body shake.
Oh, it would feel soooo good.
Let everything fly out and away from me…
Then start fresh… not everything will cut loose, but everything
will displace and what settles back down can be viewed with
a new perspective.

Hey, we all have our dreams, ideas and creative hiccups. When I watch our dogs come out of the water and give themselves a good shake, it always looks like it such a feel good thing to do. I thought of doing a head stand, seeing if that would dislodge and toss some of my gray matter around, but I wasn’t successful at getting into that position, never mind staying in it long enough to enjoy the moment.

I am an artist who loves to day dream and consider possibilities. I can get very excited finding the strangest things along the roadway or down a long forgotten trail or path. I grew up at a time where it was encouraged that we give our imaginations full range. Given a pencil and paper with a box full of jumbled thread, discarded what nots and old catalogues, WOW I’d be lost in my own world for hours.

Today you go into a store and there is sticker, cut out or stamp for almost everything. How hand made or scrap cards today? Ok not the time to go into my tirade on now vs. the good “old” days. The dog shaking off the water that has bogged him/her down makes me smile. The fur/hair needs to be wrung out, simple, shake and shake again. It’s done. AND its off we go to play again.

Nature is wonderful isn’t it. Simplicity is soooo Positive.

Where’s my dog I want a cuddle.. Hugs everyone….

Even if you don’t have what you need, you will find a way.

Even if you don't have what you need, you will find a way.

If you are fixated on what you don’t have.(ie. language, or understanding of what the characters say) you will not be blessed with wisdom, or an opportunity to solve your problem(s). In PL we say, Think creatively to get past any obstacles in your way.

Every moment that you are with your problem(s) you are not with Tao. The best you can do is remember that your stress is not absolute reality. (Tao,Deng Ming-Dao)

part 1 Bathing process in Japan

Prior to entering the bathing room, one must remove one’s shoes, there is a room outside of this one, where you leave you clothes..(wicker baskets are provided) It is all very orderly.
There are maybe 5 stand up stalls for the ladies who prefer to stand, but they too are open. Only after you have showered and removed all the soap do you enter the hot bath. Unfortunately for yours truly, I only worked it out mid stay, that getting into that warm water, drops the body temperature, so the heat of the day/night is easier to deal with. Being totally private in my “habits”when the time came to bathe and cool down, these little cleaning stations looked pretty darn inviting to me. It is actually not only practical but a comfortable way to shower. Wonderful body wash and shampoo was provided.

PL teaching – No matter how challenging the situation if you take it on with enthusiasm you will be blessed with new knowledge.

Have a resounding day everyone! Bom dia! Buenos dias!

Time out – Road block

Time out - Road block

Ever found yourself standing alone trying to replay what just happened. One minute you were laughing and talking and the next your friend is off in a huff. Or you yourself have gone from good mood to one of “not so good”. Miscommunication?

Do you stew over it, waste the evening, or do you address the issue? If you don’t speak about your thoughts and actions, you will not be able to express how you truly feel.

In PL the teaching is to take ownership for our actions and words. By expressing ourselves it opens heart to heart communication/connections. We know how it feels when we feel we have been slighted, or neglected. Saying “Thank you”, or ” I’m sorry” goes a long way towards building and maintaining lasting friendships.

PL Principle #3 > I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

PL Principle #6 > I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.

PL Precept # 4 > Being annoyed limits your expression.

Strive for heart to heart connections. Everyone benefits. (PL lesson, day 15)

“As long as we insist that we are separate, individual entities apart from the rest of the universe, then we shall never realize Oneness” Deng Ming-Dao
