The goal is to enlighten those unfamiliar with Japanese through a daily practice of self-refinement.Pick yourself firstHere, personal discovery unlocks the keys to systematically internalizing Japanese.

i kyō「意嚮」translates directly as “facing the mind.” It refers to the direction of one’s will, inclination of mind, or where the heart is oriented—in essence, the mental or emotional direction to which a person is naturally inclined.

For those who seek to define and measure to understand i kyō「意嚮」can be thought of as the mysterious Seity—the phantasmagorical life force woven into the fabric of all reality, the resident spirit within every solitary human being.

Indeed, i kyō「意嚮」and the notion of self-realization it embodies, exists within a distinctly Japanese framework—conceptually a different world from the hard-core, dogmatic, materialistic, industrialized Western theme.Sir Isaac and his drinking buddy John LockeLoss of selfhood and self-reflection comes from missed opportunities to communicate with Seity.

One opens the heart to endless possibilities when venerating and emulating the core principles of the neo-clan’s tutelary deity.

Seity is a force of nature that cannot be denied, and one should always seek what she has to say about the direction of this precious life—an epoch in a moment of time.

One of the greatest joys of being a lifelong language learner is discovering concepts available only in the new language of the curious, free-range avatar.

In particular, the esoteric notions woven into ancient languages that have evolved over millennia hold extraordinary concepts that are not conceptually available to monolingual primates stuck in a monotone zone, where their extra-special senses have been fully depleted.Mono lingual mammalsThe subject of today’s daily natto is the very notion of what it means to meta-recognize the two distinct personalities inside one—the master and the slave.

The core theme of sublimation is the transformation of base instincts in metacognitive mammalian beings.

When looking at this important concept through the lens of Japanese thought, you will never regret exploring the nooks and crannies of your own mind, identifying inner demons, and dusting away the mold that lingers—polluting the soul more and more each day.

Regardless, the extraordinary life of this important historical women played pivotal roles in shaping Japan—politically, yes, but even more so through their contributions to the aesthetic heart of the Japanese creative mind.

Here we laud and honor Ms. Irie Takako—the forgotten cinema daughter of Japan.Irei TakakoSo, who exactly is Irie Takako?

Ms. Irie Takako was originally born Hideko Higashibōjō, graduating from Bunka Gakuin before debuting as an actress at Nikkatsu in 1927 at the tender age of just 16.

There, she became a major star, embodying a will of steel.

At age twenty-one, she founded her own production company, Irie Productions, in 1932.

Her founding of Irie Productions cemented her role as both a star and a businesswoman in Japanese cinema.Irie Takako The Most Beautiful 1944Her imaginative journey to fulfill the wishes of her powerful Seity has now drawn the attention of the neo-clan tutelary deity.

In one of Kenji Mizoguchi’s silent film masterpieces, The Water Magician, Irie’s company produced the film, with Irie in the starring role—solidifying her superposition as one of the most important figures in Japanese cinema.

She worked with another Japanese cinema legend in one of her later memorable roles—starring in Akira Kurosawa’s Sanjuro, playing Mutsuta’s wife, who warns Sanjuro (Toshirō Mifune) that “the best sword stays in its scabbard.”Akira Kurosawa’s Sanjuro, playing Mutsuta’s wifeIndeed, this seminal line embodies the essence of shibui, describing Ms. Takako Irie to a tee.

Talking Stick

“When you hold the talking stick, you carry the weight of your ancestors’ voices. Speak with care and purpose.”

The tutelary deity of the Kizuna Jinja came to Japan in 1968, bringing a talking stick as a unique gift from our neo-clan to the Japanese, thereby establishing our presence in Japan decades ago.Japan trip 1968Like Japanese culture, societies rooted in ancestor veneration, such as the Secwépemc Nation, place ancestors at their core.

Although raised with traditional Christian values, Kizuna Jinja’s tutelary deity felt a stronger connection to the Secwépemc people and Japan, drawn by the pull of ancestral guidance.societies rooted in ancestor venerationWhen he explained the talking stick’s significance to the Nissan president Katsuji Kawamata, the spiritual connection was immediately recognized.

This moment marked the strengthening of the relationship between our neo-clan and Japan, sealed by the ancestral gift of the talking stick.

The Japanese, known for their stoicism and non-verbal communication, embraced the talking stick’s story, as it reflects values of respect and order in group discussions.

The talking stick is a ceremonial tool used by Indigenous cultures, including the Secwépemc Nation, where our neo-clan originated.ネオ氏族の入門-entrance to the neo-clanThis protocol fosters respectful and orderly dialogue in council circles, community meetings, and spiritual gatherings.

The talking stick is a decorated wooden object, often carved, painted, and adorned with feathers, beads, leather, or animal symbols that hold cultural significance.

In a council or discussion circle, the talking stick is passed from person to person, allowing only the holder to speak.

This ensures that every voice is heard without interruption, promoting deep listening and mutual respect.Identity with SeityIn our modern world, filled with noise and distraction, the talking stick remains a powerful tool for building close-knit communities.

Surely, less hot air and pointless banter crowding out precious moments of our ephemeral existence is the key to serenity—the essence of a meaningful existence.

A key feature of the talking stick is its role in the council circle, where decisions are made by consensus, and every voice, regardless of age or status, is valued.The talking stick is a decorated wooden objectThe council circle’s emphasis on equality contrasts with the traditional Japanese mindset, where hierarchical structures, rooted in millennia of cultural evolution, prioritize elders’ guidance.

Japanese society continues to evolve, with its youth finding their voice and emerging as the nation’s future leaders.

It is hoped they will draw on ancestral wisdom to guide their decisions and uphold Japan’s reputation as a high-trust society.

Like Secwépemc culture, Japanese culture is rich in symbolism, connecting people to their ancestors and shaping the future of a modern traditional Japan—let the ancestral spirit of the tutelary deities guide us with intent and purpose for this is Seity’s plan.Gift from the ancestorsEach element of the talking stick carries symbolic meaning:

Wood Type: Often cedar, a sacred tree among Pacific Northwest nations.

Feathers: Represent truth and freedom of speech.

Carvings: Depict spirit animals, ancestors, or clan crests—reflecting the speaker’s lineage or totem.

Beads & Colors: Represent the Four Directions, life stages, or spiritual themes.Secwépemc-style talking stickThe talking stick’s primary purpose is to promote equitable communication, often aiding in peacemaking and conflict resolution.

It also encourages active, respectful listening, which is valuable in modern contexts like education and healing, particularly in therapy and trauma recovery.

Always remember the talking stick’s lesson, whether holding the talking stick or not.

“When you hold the talking stick, you carry the weight of your ancestors’ voices. Speak with care and purpose.”

If you are able to understand and internalize some of the ancient protocols of the Japanese, you are well on your way to understanding why the Japanese remain enigmatic to those who do not grasp the fundamental properties woven into the DNA of the indigenous Japanese.

Free-range avatars are autodidacts, expressing the freedom to choose their mentors and oracles, seeking material for further investigation that leads to the seminal works of pioneers.

Here is a historical seminal figure, Boye Lafayette De Mente and his delightful legacy—a gift for those exploring the nooks and crannies of the far corners and deep recesses of the traditional Japanese mind.Boye Lafayette De MenteHistorically, the Japanese were instantiated into strict hierarchical compartmentalization.

Thus, their language and conceptual framework reflecting a rigid ancient methodology within an unyielding hierarchical structure in nearly all aspects in the life of the Japanese.

In fact, Form, Order, Process lies at the heart of the Japanese Way—Kata is its name.

Kata means “form” in its original sense, but it encompasses far more than physical shape.

Kata is a prescribed way of doing something, passed down through generations, a pattern to follow carefully, step by step.

Kata consists of three distinct elements, internalized and recognized as the path to becoming a free-range avatar.FOP Team with UmeroForm ( / Kata)
This is the template or fixed pattern, like dance choreography or a scripted play, it shows you how to do something precisely with persuasion for this is the Japanese way. One can observe the Japanese bowing at a specific angle depending on the situation—such as when meeting the Emperor and Empress—or in what may seem to the Western mind a mundane task, such as folding a letter a specific way.

Order ( / Jun)
This is the sequence or timing, ensuring each step is performed in the correct order every step of the way. For those who have experienced the profound pleasure of attending a tea ceremony, it is not merely about making tea. Greet the guest, clean the utensils, and prepare the tea—all in a precise order, following the strictly defined rules rooted in the tea ceremony history.

Process (過程 / Katei)
This is the flow where everything comes together—the experience of performing it smoothly and with intention. Over time, as one repeats the form in the correct order, the significance of Form, Order, Process becomes clear—life within this three-part procedural flow becomes natural, meaningful, and profoundly beautiful.

The key to Japan’s holistic prosperity lies in their ability to adapt pre-existing material from other cultures and mold it into something uniquely Japanese.a quantum field representing 万物 life in all thingsIn Japanese culture, improvising or adding personal style prematurely is a grave faux pas, as it contradicts the Japanese Way.

The protocol begins with copying, strictly adhering to the proper order.

Only after deep practice can one earn the ability to adapt or innovate.

The Japanese have a meaningful protocol, shugyō (修行), a vital concept that guides one toward mastery.

Shugyō translates to “training,” “discipline,” or “self-cultivation” in English, but its meaning is far deeper.驀地に未来へIt refers to rigorous, intentional practice—physical, mental, or spiritual—aimed at personal transformation, mastery, or transcendence.

Rooted in Japanese culture, shugyō spans religious, martial, artistic, and modern contexts, emphasizing discipline, perseverance, and the pursuit of a higher state of being.

Combining Form, Order, Process with the deep practice of shugyō leads to a unique freedom, one that comes only to those on the path to mastery, wherever their heart’s desire lies within the exquisite tapestry of a sublime and meaningful life.

Sober Second Thought

Sober Second Thought

The Japanese have an important adage—kuchi wa wazuwai no moto 口は災いの元Disasters originate in the mouth.

Once words are spoken—not unlike an LLM token—they linger in the ether and kokoro (heart) forevermore.

The emotions they evoke become a magical cloak—a mask worn in the heat of the exchange—affecting how others feel amid the fray of the day’s wordplay.

A salient notion, rooted in ancient wisdom, is encapsulated in the Japanese concept to keep at the forefront of one’s mind—kotodama言霊spirit of the word.Kotodama-言霊The power vested in the spoken word lies not in a verbal barrage—laden with emotion, sharp tone, and piercing timbre—but in how its spirit fosters connection, lest bonds be broken and the light continues to dim.

An uncontrolled mouth is an inexhaustible source of unmitigated disasters—ranging from marital strife and social dissonance to broken friendships and wounds inflicted upon loved ones in the material fray of the day.Mouth of Disaster In such moments, the “sober second thought” becomes the innate go-to protocol—wouldn’t ya know.

When reflecting on sober second thought, invoke the han men kyō shi反面教師—protocol to hone in on and viscerally observe the predictable results of the loose-lips Ego-Tube scene.

In particular, pay close attention to the narcissist tribe.Ugly narcissist putting on make up and staring into a mirrorThese are typically hopeless wetware system clones—those who couldn’t give a single phack, not one, about others’ feelings or mental well-being.
