Misunderstandings Among Those Who Think "Spiritual Inspiration" Is a Lie
There may still be many people who wonder if "spiritual inspiration" (Reikan) is simply a lie. Even in this day and age, with the internet so widespread and spiritual content more accessible than ever, there is a growing number of people who are becoming relatively more open-minded toward the concept.
However, from a practical standpoint, it may be inevitable that some still view it as a fabrication. This is largely because spiritual matters are not taught in schools; instead, modern education tends to place a heavy emphasis on scientific and rational disciplines. From a scientific perspective, "spiritual inspiration" is invisible and cannot be proven empirically, which is likely a major reason why many people harbor negative or skeptical feelings toward it.
Those who believe it is a "lie" often seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what it actually is. Many imagine it as some kind of supernatural "+α" power or a special ability one acquires—an image likely fueled by the influence of manga and fiction.
When looked at more closely, "spiritual inspiration" is essentially the "ability to feel the heart (or soul)." It is not about logical understanding through the intellect, but rather the capacity to sense the emotions and intentions of others. The Japanese spiritual counselor Hiroyuki Ehara has stated that everyone possesses this "inspiration" to some degree, as most people have experienced sensing what another person is feeling.
Fortune-tellers with strong "inspiration" frequently use the word "feel." Instead of confirming things visually, they perceive through the heart the thoughts and impressions that are transmitted to them, and then translate those feelings into understanding. Since such emotional development is largely absent from scientific and logic-based education, it remains a concept that is difficult to grasp for those who rely solely on rationalistic thinking.
Is "Spiritual Inspiration" a Lie? Even Skeptics May Experience the World Like a Psychic
Even among those who believe "spiritual inspiration" (Reikan) is a lie, there are moments in daily life where their own spiritual sensitivity heightens—perhaps not to the same extent as a professional, but enough to sense something beyond the physical.
This often occurs when watching movies or dramas and engaging with intense emotions. For example, consider the difference between a fight scene in a movie and a real-life argument. In a film, you might feel the raw anger resonating within your own heart. In contrast, when witnessing a real-life quarrel, many people simply recognize it as an event taking place without actually "feeling" the anger themselves.
When watching a movie or drama, people tend to focus deeply and enter a light state of trance. In this state, many individuals experience a natural heightening of their "spiritual inspiration."
If you have ever been to a movie theater, you may have noticed that after the film ends, you become slightly more sensitive to the emotions of the people around you, sometimes even feeling a fleeting sense of oneness with the crowd.
Those who possess strong "spiritual inspiration" are simply more adept at entering this "movie-watching" state of mind during their everyday lives. Their way of switching between the internal world and the reality in front of them is just slightly different from that of the average person.
Misunderstandings Among Those Who Think "Spiritual Inspiration" Is a Lie
People who believe "spiritual inspiration" (Reikan) is a lie often operate under the assumption that everyone else perceives the world exactly as they do.
As mentioned previously, this mindset is largely a byproduct of a strong emphasis on science-oriented education. When you have been taught that sharing the same knowledge and holding the same values is the "correct" way of thinking, it is only natural to view the world through that lens. In conventional society, there has long been a tendency to dismiss spiritual matters. From a rigid, "black and white" scientific perspective, many convince themselves that denying its existence is the only rational conclusion.
However, even skeptics can likely understand that men and women often perceive the world differently from a psychological standpoint—for instance, the tendency for men to want to observe or "consciousness-direct," while women often lean toward being "consciousness-received." Recognizing these fundamental differences in perspective should make one realize that there are people who experience reality through an entirely different sensory filter.
From my perspective, those who are convinced that "spiritual inspiration" is a lie are like birds living inside a narrow coop. Their field of vision is restricted, and they may end up finishing their lives believing that their limited view is the only truth.
By seeking advice from someone with high spiritual sensitivity, you may finally discover the truth about these abilities. I recommend experiencing a "spiritual reading" (Reishi) at least once. It has the potential to open up a completely new worldview and transform the way you have perceived your life up until now.
