How to create miracles

Saito Hitori spoke about "How to Achieve Miracles." As it was a thought-provoking topic, I decided to present it in the "One Point Lesson" of the Qigong School.

Hitori-san begins by defining a miracle. “A miracle is something that rarely occurs. If it happens frequently, it’s not a miracle. If it never happens, it’s not a miracle either.” That’s right. Miracles are rare, but they can happen. Like miracles, things that rarely occur are dismissed as exceptions or coincidences. Words like miracle, exception, and coincidence are used to describe phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense or general rules. However, even if there is no explanation, there must be a clear cause or condition for something to occur. There’s no smoke without fire. It’s common for cancer cells to disappear naturally.

Next, Hitori-san presents the "toughness of weeds" as an example of a miracle. "Weeds sprout, breaking through the asphalt. Weeds are resilient. They push firmly against the asphalt with infinitesimally weak force, using all the time they have, the maximum time they have. And then a miracle occurs." I see, that's right, using "infinitesimally weak force" for the "maximum time they have." Weeds don't have the strength to lift the asphalt instantly, and even we can't do it with our bare hands. The vitality and reproductive power of the weed cells must be working silently and constantly. That's the main cause (factor). Of course, other favorable conditions must have existed as well. The asphalt was exposed to the intense summer sun, it was soft, and the seeds fell in a good place where rainwater could seep in. This miracle wouldn't have happened if the seeds had been under the concrete.

Hitotsu-san continues: “Weed seeds don’t have the strength to break through the asphalt in one go. But the weed doesn’t believe it’s impossible.” I see, that’s interesting. “The weed doesn’t believe it’s impossible.” Doesn’t that mean that “its innate life force works and keeps working selflessly”? Do we have the tenacity of a weed that doesn’t give up even in the face of difficulties and trials, and that keeps advancing selflessly and slowly against the asphalt?

Humans are rational beings, so we don't believe in miracles and we give up easily. It's difficult to work hard without thinking. We are arrogant, we seek rationality, and we avoid unnecessary effort. How wonderful it would be if, even in difficult situations, we could act with altruism, tenacity, and strength, like weeds, believing in the power of our own lives.

I have been practicing healing methods as a therapist for 26 years, since 1997, and I learned a great deal from Hitotsu-san's book, "How to Create Miracles." It's about emptying the mind and using as much time as possible with an infinitesimally weak force. The key is having faith in the power of life. Master therapist Noguchi Haruya once said, "Those who provide treatment do not see the patient's misfortune, sadness, or illness. They simply see the healthy life force." Isn't this the teaching that a therapist's basic mindset is to believe in and trust the power of life, rather than focusing on the current difficult and painful situation?

Using an "infinitely weak force" for the "longest possible time" means continuously flowing the subtle frequency energy of Qigong in the form of a wave attack. Even if it's only for five or ten minutes, the treatment can be administered five or ten times a day. It's an unconscious action, without giving up. You persevere until you succeed, and you do. I believe that's the world we live in. Looking back, I believe that my continued ability to provide distance therapy to my parents at home, which helped them recover from their illnesses and maintain their health, was a result of this unconsciousness.

Don't overthink it... Believe in the infinite power of life force, attack without thinking in waves, and heal yourself and others!
