“From now on, I will have you practice using your own abilities,” he added.

“Practice what?” I asked.

“Practicing mindfulness and concentration. From now on, you must use your full
potential, which is to determine for yourself what it will be like. I will gradually release
this protective barrier so that you can experiment on your own.”

“Wait, wait a moment, please! Can you give me a moment to prepare myself…?” I
quickly protested.

“Of course… you must always remember that you are currently traveling with your
mind. Therefore, what you see and what you feel, even though it may be real, cannot
harm you. But if you ever lose this mindful awareness and mistakenly think that you
are your real self, that you are truly in the state you see and feel, if it is hot enough to
melt, your mind will immediately transmit that melting heat to your physical body,” he
reiterated the principle.

“Yes, understood…” I replied, focusing my mind as he instructed.

“Ready?” he asked after seeing my excitement.

“Yes,” I replied.

He began to move his left hand, drawing it from my right side up over my head and
back down to my left side, touching my toes—the opposite direction from when he
created the protective barrier. As soon as this process was complete, my body was
tossed around like a thin cloth caught in a sudden gust of wind. Only one of my hands
still held firmly onto Phoche’s. My current sensation was that in addition to being
violently buffeted, I felt as if heavy masses were pressing down and colliding with my
body, as if I were being crushed by a giant rolling stone.

“Sir… what’s happening?” I shouted, still gripping his hand tightly.

“You must focus your mind or imagine that your body will not fall into any particular
state whatsoever, not just concerning the heat that could melt you,” he advised.

I then tried to do as Phoche instructed. The moment I consciously thought that, my
body returned to standing still in its normal state, as if nothing had happened.

“Oh… that’s a relief. Was there some kind of error?” I asked, feeling relieved after
getting through that situation.

“Because this is the junction between the molten lava mass and the Earth’s crust,
where it is flowing fiercely from left to right, there is an immense amount of friction around you here. This is because the Earth’s crust moves slower than the violently
flowing lava current. The principle of mindfulness here is not just about focusing on
one thing at a time. If you only focus on the absence of heat, but at the same time you
are facing the force and impact of the massive weight of magma, focusing on one thing
at a time becomes difficult. The correct way is to consciously know that you yourself
are completely free from any state or condition that is occurring because you are only a
mind.”

“I understand,” I said.

“This principle is about truly freeing the mind. You must practice this before you die
because this is the difference between someone who is still stuck in the situation
before them and someone who can be mentally free or possess mind power while
facing various situations. If they have no power or no awareness of their current state,
how much freedom they have, how much power they have, they will always be under
the influence of their environment or trapped in the memories they have created. Their
inability to escape the cycle of birth and death is not because the Earth’s magnetic field
is holding them back, but rather because of their own thoughts, beliefs, and
experiences stored in their subconscious mind that create that state. And the
experience itself has a cyclical process, and this type of energy code will lead their
mind to have new experiences again. If they have had both good and bad experiences,
those experiences will cycle back, or in other words, they are sinking into the stories
they themselves have created, even though they could be free right then if they knew
the meaning of mindfulness.”

“This is a power that everyone possesses, but the problem is they don’t believe they
have it and don’t even know they do,” he continued.

“Mind power?” I asked, still not quite understanding.

“In the beginning, when I created the image of a thin film as a protective barrier around
both of us, I didn’t actually create it. I merely pretended to create it so that you would
believe I had. Therefore, when I said that you already have power but you don’t believe
you do, it becomes necessary to make you believe through certain methods. If at that
time I had simply told you that you could create a protective barrier yourself, you
might not have believed you could, and therefore you wouldn’t have been able to.” He
explained.

“Is that really how it is?” I teased.

“Some people on your world who know this secret understand that most people do not
have the ability to generate mind power on their own. So, they create organizations or
various methods to make you believe, a form of mental suggestion through the creation
of symbols or the performance of certain actions. For example, you must see this type
of appearance or attire, you must be in this type of place, you must have these objects
or ceremonial equipment, you must recite these phrases, and so on. The objectives of
those who create these methods vary. Some say it is to help people, to help sentient
beings escape suffering, to escape illness, to escape bad fortune, or to escape the burdens they are facing. But no matter what the reason for doing so—whether it’s to
be a healer, a savior of beings, a virtuous saint, or whatever—which on the surface
appears good and worthy of praise for the general public, for me, this is incorrect. And
I consider those who do such things to have committed a wrong against the universe
and against God because they have caused people to lose their own power. They have
made people dependent on the power of others forever, unable to be independent and
have potential from within themselves. It’s like tying those people hand and foot and
taking them on a boat. Even though they may be seen as good, seen as compassionate,
helping to lead them away from danger, guiding them to the light, all the crew
members have no power within themselves. This is a tremendous mistake,” he
explained.

“Wow!… This is a big issue. Are you saying that monks or virtuous individuals in
religious organizations who counsel and teach people to escape suffering, or those who
perform various rituals, are the ones destroying people’s power?” I protested.

“Try to analyze it yourself from the methods and the results… as long as they do not
teach about inner power. This matter is delicate and requires good understanding. I
look at the forms or methods they use to make people believe through external images,
through established rules and regulations that dictate how to treat these individuals
when you see this type of uniform or this type of place, such as requiring respect and
reverence, especially bowing down to them in a submissive manner. Think about it
carefully. At the moment you bow down to them, whether it’s because you see their
goodness or simply because that person is in a uniform, the instant you bow, it’s as if
you have given the sacredness within you to them. You have abandoned your own
potential, your true power, which is a regrettable loss. In fact, those who understand
the ultimate truth, or the truth that we all have a spiritual origin from the same source,
have the same spiritual parents, and that we all have equal honor and dignity, would
never allow anyone to bow down to them. Because that would be them violating this
truth of the universe. They would be causing others to lose their own power, and it also
shows a lack of depth in their knowledge, especially the delusion of thinking they are
important or self-importance. This type of delusion is considered the greatest obstacle
to entering a state of egolessness or selflessness because only humans who are selfless
or who do not give importance to their ego have the right to enter the state of accessing
universal knowledge or wisdom,” he explained.
