  Characteristics of Those with Low Spiritual Sensitivity: Why is it the Modern Norm? Defining "Low Sensitivity" Through the Lens of the Heart When we speak of someone with "low" or "weak" spiritual sensitivity (reikan), we are essentially describing a state where the ability to feel the heart and soul is less active. In today's world, this is actually the most common state of being. According to general AI perspectives, those with low sensitivity are often characterized as realists, scientifically minded, or mentally stable individuals who haven't had "unusual" experiences. However, from a deeper spiritual and psychological standpoint, this isn't just about "talent"—it's a reflection of how our brains are trained by society. 1. The Mass Production of "Left-Brain" Dominance The primary reason many people have low spiritual sensitivity lies in our modern educational and social structures. The Grading System: F...

  High Spiritual Sensitivity and Possession: Understanding the Energy Connection Why are Sensitive People Prone to Possession? The idea that high spiritual sensitivity (reikan) makes one susceptible to "possession" (hyoi) is a well-known concept in spiritual circles. However, simply saying "they attract spirits" is a bit abstract. To understand this properly, we need to look at it through the lens of emotional energy and the interconnectedness of the "heart." 1. The Light in the Blizzard: A Spiritual Perspective Spiritual practitioners often use the metaphor of a flame to explain this phenomenon. To a wandering or malevolent spirit, a person with high spiritual sensitivity appears like a bright light in a dark, cold world. The World of Wandering Spirits: Imagine being lost in a freezing blizzard, desperate for warmth and connection. From the perspective of a spirit without a physical body, the "heart energy" of a living person looks like a sanct...

  How to Become a Professional Fortune Teller: Tarot vs. Eastern Astrology Choosing Your Path: Market Trends and Psychological Insights When people consider becoming a professional fortune teller (Uranaishi), they often debate between specializing in Western Tarot or Eastern Astrology (such as Four Pillars of Destiny or I Ching). There is no single "correct" choice, but understanding the business landscape and the psychological needs of clients is essential for success. 1. Tarot: High Popularity and High Competition Tarot is incredibly popular, especially among female clients, because of its visual beauty and the "mystical" atmosphere it creates. The Rivalry Factor: Because many women aspire to be Tarot readers, the market is saturated. To succeed, you need more than just knowledge; you need charisma and a unique "it" factor to stand out from the crowd. The Pricing Challenge: Unless you have a strong reputation for accuracy or a magnetic personality, it ...

  Beware of Spiritual Fraud: What is True Spirituality? Navigating the Thin Line Between Faith and Exploitation To those unfamiliar with "spirituality," almost any discussion involving spiritual sensitivity (reikan) that involves money might look like a "spiritual scam" (reikan shoho). Strictly speaking, if we define it as any exchange of money for spiritual services, then every shrine, temple, and church could technically fall under that label. However, there is a fundamental difference between true spiritual growth and predatory commercialism. Understanding this difference requires us to look at the psychology of both the provider and the seeker. 1. The Psychology of the "Scam" In Japanese society, where the education system prioritizes logical left-brain thinking over emotional right-brain intuition, it is natural for people to view spirituality with suspicion. But there is a deeper resonance at play when someone is actually defrauded. The Law of Attrac...

  Why Developing Spiritual Sensitivity Can Be Dangerous: The Reality of "Pointless Training" Misconceptions About Developing "Reikan" Many people hold deep-seated misconceptions about what it means to develop or "train" their spiritual sensitivity (reikan). While some view it as a supernatural or special power, this perspective often stems from a lack of understanding regarding the fundamental nature of the human heart and mind. To understand why certain training can be dangerous, we must first return to the basic definition: Spiritual sensitivity is the inherent ability to feel the "heart" or "soul." It is a bridge between the hearts of people, high-dimensional beings, and even spirits. It is a faculty we all possess, regardless of whether we acknowledge it. 1. The Balance of the Brain: Logic vs. Sensitivity As often discussed in this blog, human perception is governed by the balance between the left and right brain. The Left Brain: ...

  Dogs with Spiritual Sensitivity: Do They Exist? Characteristics and Behaviors Can Dogs Have Spiritual Sensitivity? The Heart-to-Heart Connection When discussing "reikan" (spiritual sensitivity) in dogs, it is essential to first understand that animals often possess instincts and sensitivities that far exceed those of humans. While humans often use logic and reason to suppress their primal instincts, dogs live primarily through their senses and intuition. Spiritual sensitivity is defined as the ability to feel the "heart" or "soul"—whether that belongs to a human, a spirit, or another living creature. In this sense, many dogs are naturally highly sensitive to the spiritual world. 1. The Right-Brain Connection and Interspecies Communication The connection between humans and animals can be explained through the functions of the brain and the collective subconscious. Logical vs. Intuitive: The human left brain handles logic and language, while the right bra...
