Yesterday’s Yoyogi workshop started with a chat on the theme of “The Wonder of Life”. I’ve been thinking that our concept of life as understood by the values of modern rationalism and the reality of life are quite different. Our understanding of heredity, evolution, and ecology is partial and superficial. My understanding is that the …
Yesterday, I had one counseling session, a group workshop in Osaka, and preparations for tomorrow’s workshop session in Yoyogi… It seemed like I didn’t have any paper work to do, but there was a lot to do.The workshop in Osaka was not so well attended, probably because it was Christmas night, and there were six …
Today was Women’s Workshop. Even though it was called Women’s workshop, there were five women and three men. Topics that are difficult to talk about honestly between husband and wife, can be shared freely with others, even those of the opposite sex. It’s rare to hear the true feelings of the opposite sex, but in …

In both the Men’s workshop last night and the Women’s workshop the day before yesterday, we chatted on the theme of “Media Domination and the Deep State”. Both the Corona mess and the U.S. presidential election are realities that the media is creating a fictional scenario to control people’s consciousness. The tools for this are …
Yesterday, I took a night bus from Tokyo to Kyoto in the early morning, dropped by the JAFAREC office, and then went home to make lunch for my son. After that, I went back to JAFAREC to do couples counseling, and then rode my bike to Ten-Sho-An in a little over an hour. The other …
On Saturday after last Friday’s Gourmet Night, I cleaned up, had counseling sessions, cooked dinner for the shelter residents, and then took the night bus. Sunday was a full day of sessions at Yoyogi from morning till night. In the mini-lecture, I explained about the corruption of the media in the US presidential election and …
Last night was the Gourmet Night, with many people who hadn’t been here for a long time, and their grown up children. We had a full house of more than 20 people including adults and children.
