Born Again

There is nothing like the innocent life of a new born child.

Alas, in most cases, this innocence ends abruptly as the indoctrination process begins in-earnest.

For many unlucky boys raised in the Occidental tradition, the indoctrination start with a blade and the male genitalia in what is known as the unkindest cut of them all; circumcision.

This vile edict from long dead self-appointed and regally anointed “people of god” is still carried out in the name of piety in some regions of our troubled world; female genital mutilation.

Cleave Off The Foreskin-The Unkindest Cut Of Them All - Land Of The Rising SonAll claiming to be in direct communication with monotheistic gods must be looked upon with deep suspicion and as suffering from megsalomania, delusion of grandeur, and rotten to their putrid core with deep-seated mental illness.

Moreover, fantastic fables of god and miracle are simply designed by Mammon to be in the service of the chosen “people of god” at the dear expense of the flock, or otherwise know in Christianity as “sheep.”

Let us all now reflect upon the fate of the majority of sheep……

Amen.

Flock Of Sheep - Land Of The Rising Son

Clearly, the original message of Jesus, from whence a beacon to the downtrodden once shone has now taken on a much more menacing and sinister meaning.

Here, the fraud is evident for all to see as the naked greed motivating these “people of god” is clearly rooted in the material sludge of this mortal world.

In case one did not know, the fleecers fleece the fleeced to the tune of 10% of their gross income; this is what is known as tithing.

Even much more heart-wrenchingly so, the gullible masses accept that they must wait for a reward in the afterlife, in what is refer to as “heaven.”

Joel Osteen-Charlatan And Fraudster From Heaven - Land Of The Rising Son

As is with all evolution, so it is with Christianity.

The modern Christians understand mandating the surrender of one’s own sovereignty can be clearly dismissed as dead mythology.

Here is something important to understand about “heaven” and now needs to be prudently examined for veracity.

According to Christian doctrine, unless one had received Jesus as their personal saviour, and to have been washed by the blood of the lamb (Jesus), one can not enter the kingdom of “heaven.”

The Rapture and the Second-coming-of-Jesus-Christ_Heaven-Opened-up-Delusion or Fact - Land Of The Rising Son

This is exclusionary in the extreme, and contra-humanistic.

If this Christian tenet is taken at face value, the Japanese are heading straight to hell, according to this particular Christian dogma.

Joyfully so, the message of love and harmony is still prevalent in certain circles of Christianity today.

Here is something that is universally applicable to ponder, no religion necessary:

Do not judge a book by its cover.

古事記と日本書紀

The Japanese do not judge others, it is not necessary, for we live in the tate shakai social structure of Japan.

Indeed, the Japanese citizens’ place in this complex society is most likely to be predetermined and accepted as the natural course of one own life.

Remember, Japan was an isolated island nation in the middle of the Pacific Ocean until only recently (Commodore Perry and Japan [1853-1854]).

Commodore Perry Black Ship - Land Of The Rising Son

The resilience of the Japanese can not be underestimated, and the Japanese Spirit prevailed even when gravely threatened by the Jesuits during the sakoku period from 1603 to 1867.

As pointed out in Koizumi Yakumo seminal work; Japan, an Attempt at Interpretation, in the chapter entitled, Jesuit Peril, one can see the Japanese flatly rejecting any notion of a disconnection from one’s own ancestry in the service of a false god in a far away land.

What Yakumo saw, and saliently described during the birth of industrial Japan, was that the Japanese are not “religious,” but in fact, adhere to the Way of Ancestor Worship.

香取神宮 - Land Of The Rising Son

Moreover, the Japanese place the highest value on form, order, and process…one could almost say, religiously.

The Japanese are welcoming to all, they only ask for recognition of just a few commonsensical protocols while visiting the sacred land of Japan.

Civilization Three

The chasm between “East” and “West” has never been as volatile since the enslavement of the Chinese nation with a massive opioid addiction pandemic early in the 20th century.

Western civilization evolved from the Greeks and Romans, and when considering Eastern civilization, China comes to mind as the representative of the East, as this is the birth place of Confucius.

Ma Yuan Confucius Interpretation - Land Of The Rising Son

Keep in mind, the moral tenets of the Asia nations are based first and foremost upon Ancestor Worship, infused with the peaceful teachings of the Buddha, and communal specific rituals passed down from generation to generation.

Let us now refresh our memories as to why this historical inflection point has now set up a showdown between these two civilizations.

There were two armed conflicts in China in the mid-19th century between the forces of Western countries and the Qing dynasty (644 to 1911-12).

These two wars are referred to as the “Opium Wars.”

The first Opium War was fought between China and Britain (1839–42).

La_bataille_de_Palikiao - Land Of The Rising Son

The second Opium War, also known as the Arrow War, was the Anglo-French War in China fought by Brits and French against the Chinese (1856–60).

These conflicts marked the start of the era of unequal treaties with the Chinese.

However, this malice and disgraceful behaviour toward Asians was not something unfamiliar to the Occxie overlords, and this sneaky technique is still used in many forms even until this very day.

On a colonial note, this is where the Brits came into possession of Hong Kong via the Treaty of Nanjing.

The Treaty of Nanjing - Imperialism In China - Land Of The Rising Son

The onslaught of these rabid and greedy merchants of death via their vile ploy to enslave Eastern Civilization using massive opioid drug addition, resulted in the Chinese continuing to resist this repugnant Occxie protocol, leading to the second Opium War.

These destructive Opium Wars arose from China’s attempts to suppress the opium trade, which was destroying the Ancient Eastern civilization.

Primarily it was the British traders that had been illegally exporting opium mainly from India to China since the 18th century, and that trade dramatically increased starting around 1820.

Moreover, the resulting widespread opioid addiction caused the severe decay of the social, moral, and economic fabric of Chinese society, which must be noted clearly, is founded upon the key humanistic principle of filial piety and ancestor worship.

Asian Values- Filial Piety - Land Of The Rising Son

Indeed, filial piety is the core tenet binding all Asian societies and their communities, and the fundamental principle of ancestor worship leave both the Japanese and Eastern civilizations on a very different spectrum conceptually than those with the myopic Occxie eyes.

The third pillar of civilization, civility, can be observed as an innate character of the Japanese.

Fundamentally, the ancient Japanese and Asian civilizations will continue to persist as they have for millennia.

Alas, civilizations built upon the false doctrine that separates the family, community, and humans from each other and their humanity, are destine to crumble under the weight of their dogma and fallacy.

Here, any rabid tribe now unhinged from reality will be forced to peer into the sacred mirror of one’s own soul, and face the emotions and the hunger pangs of life’s decisions.

However, one should not despair, for hope springs eternal.

Anyone can look to the third pillar of civilization, which is civility, an innate characteristic of the Japanese.

和室でのお辞儀の種類 齊木由香-和美人へのみち - Land Of The Rising Son

Indeed, the Japanese civilization has evolved its civility on these isolated Pacific islands for over 2 millennium.

One another colonial note, the Japanese barely dodged a fatal cultural bullet after wisely rejecting the Jesuit dogma out of Rome.

The Japanese then built their unique civilization over the next 200 years, free from Western influence.

Then, true to their innate Occxie nature, the Americans showed up at Japan’s door, and do what they do best, point a gun and demand “trade.”

History shows starting with the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese successfully integrated alien concepts, and forge them into something anew, and often, superior.

Japanese Imperial Family Meiji 1880

So it is with the advancement of the Japanese civilization today.

Vastly older than others, and more deeply cultured with timeless wisdom, there is also a capacity to be humble by the Shackles of the Past.

Lest we all need to be reminded, Japan is the only nation in history, thus so far, to have ever experienced the devastation of a nuclear holocaust first hand, twice.

Nuclear Holocaust Japan 1945 - Land Of The Rising Son

Here again, humanity stands at the brink of nuclear annihilation.

If once again the nation of Japan should suffer the fiery breath of nuclear weapons, it will not only be the end of Civilization T, but elimination of all human civilizations, once and for all.

In order to understand the pillar in which the Japanese civilization rests upon soundly, one must carefully examine the Japanese constitution written by Prince Shotoku in the 7th century.

JAPAN 5000 YEN P93a 1957 SHOTOKU-TAISHI RARE - Land Of The Rising Son

The concept of dōtoku 道徳 is the universal guiding principles and the spirit of dōtoku 道徳 is enshrined in Prince Shotoku Taishi’s constitution.

dōtoku 道徳 is the general rule for all people to judge themselves as to what is right and wrong, and to act appropriately and properly within one’s own place in society.

Unlike law, dōtoku 道徳 is not externally enforceable, but works as an internal principle for each individual to guide one along the Way.

Class Fee Of Life

Class Fee Of Life

The class fee of life shows up in many ways, with the key recognizing it when it comes.

There have been many teachers, some harsh, others gentle, like the whispering voice of a Muse gently nudging one along the way.

The Japanese have a delightful 4-character compound in what could arguably be the perfect description for the class fee of life:

han men kyō shi – examples of how not to behave

Speaking from experience, a certain lesson was presented over and over.

After ignoring the gentle whispers, was then bludgeoned by a raging tragedy of one’s own making.

This lead to the end of a decades-long marriage, a failed business, loss of self-esteem, and doubts about one’s place in this complex world.

I will not be broken - Land Of The Rising Son

Luckily enough, one own father set an example of resilience and fortitude in times of crises, self inflicted or otherwise.

He was sued by a major oil company (Chevron) when he was in his mid-sixties (sold a gas station and Datsun dealership in the mid 70s, and was sued in the 2000s due to contamination of the site with Chevron leaded gas).

He lost almost everything (Margaret stayed), including his house, but what he did not lose was his humanity, nor his fine sense of humour.

Using the power of the internet, one noticed a minor acquaintance from a distant past.

Observing this feed served as a reminder of what it looks like when an individual has made no meaningful progress in life.

The post consisted of a bottle of whisky, along with a big jug of Coke (beware of sodium benzoate), with the caption, “who’s getting wasted?”

whisky-and-coke-every day - Land Of The Rising Son

Frankly, anyone in their 5th decade of life proclaiming their desire to get “wasted” indicates a profound lack of awareness of the almighty han men kyo shi.

One would have to wonder if not brutal hangovers, or very unpleasant behaviour often accompanying “getting wasted” is not some form of the class fee of life, and to ignore it, is to do so at one’s own peril.

Think of the class fee of life in the following way:

A needle on vinyl in the symphony of life.

It skips back while play the same old tired phrase, over and over and over, again and again and again, until a light comes on (or does not [see ↑ above]).

Then, and only then, one’s very own glorious symphony will continue until the magnificent Swan Song, the grand finally at the end of one’s own journey through this primordial sludge of what is now called earth.

Analogue vs Digital

Analogue vs Digital

“Hey hey mama said the way you move it’s gonna make you sweat it’s going to make your groove.”

These immortal words were first heard in 1977 at the age of 13.

Nothing can replace the memory of an eccentric older cousin passing through our small rural town in British Columbia, stopping by to take his little cousin to a record store to buy Led Zeppelin IV.

led zeppelin IV original cover -Land Of The RIsing Son
Arriving home after the purchase and not knowing what to expect, the plastic was stripped off and the fresh shinny vinyl was taken from its protective sheath and delicately put onto the thirty-three and one third revolutions per minute turntable.
Fenton RP105 2 Speed Retro Vinyl LP Record Player -Land Of The RIsing SonHere one’s life took a significantly profound change when hearing the opening line to the now immortal lyrics of Black Dog (see above), and the warmth of the needle on vinyl and the booming of the speakers.

Not the most profound poetry to be certain, but honestly what do lyrics really matter after being exposed to John Paul Jones Black Dog bass line and his virtuoso musicianship.

Let us ponder the difference between the above described music discovery experience, and one of the digital generation unearthing Led Zeppelin for the very first time.

First, one could honestly say discovering and buying music has never been more convenient, yet it is void of a meaningful experience, an associated fond memory and even more so, to understand the true value of music and those who create it.

Cranky Old Bastards Poster - Land Of The Rising Son

Alas, the shopping experience for music now merely involves the click of a button, where your download is then made instant available for one’s listening pleasure, probably just a few times as the digital generation flitters from one flavour of the day to the next.

Moreover, there is no sensory experience such as the touch and smell of a new record, nor the warmth of the needle on vinyl.

The transition of the telephone has also made a significant impact on most people’s lives, although a double edged sword to say the least.

smart phone zombies- Land of The Rising Son

Here in the Land Of The Rising Son, one’s own beloved mother-in-law finally made the transition just recently from a late 90’s model flip phone, to a “smart” phone where she uses her new phone, a computer in her pocket, for exactly what she has always used a phone for, and that is to talk to her friends on the phone.

Cellular Telephone Technological Developments - Land Of The RIsing Son

Now in the word as it turns, all are face the true reality of analogue vs digital.

Cash or digital money.

Just like the vinyl records of yore, the future of paper money is now obscure.

Could what we have all understood to be money up until now be replaced with digital money on the phone?

The next burning question is:

What happens when the electrify fails?

power outage - Land Of The Rising Son

This is where the reality of the Japanese, who unlike many places on the planet have not sold their soul to the gods of the digital ether, but still use cash as they have done, well, since the beginning of cash.

Even to this very day, many grocery stores in one’s neck of the woods do not accept anything other than cash.

Are the Japanese in possession of some mysterious secret compelling them to diligently save paper notes for the inevitable tough times which comes with living on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

For the Japanese also have a metaphor for their own personal bank full of cash, tansu chokin, and one can observe the fastidious Japanese with pile upon pile of brown-backs (¥10,000 note), stashed away in the nooks and crannies of their own home.

1万円札 - Land Of The Rising Son

Perhaps they also have a cache of precious metals as well, most likely 99.999% pure bars.

Indeed, the Japanese look upon The Land Of The Rising Son as the country of disasters, wazai no kuni, but along with this gloomy outlook, there is a pithy saying expressing a pragmatism concerning the true nature of life:

wazawai tenjite fuku to nasu
turning disaster into fortune

Perhaps the burning pangs of hunger still serve as a visceral reminder of the hard times and sacrifice the Japanese endured as they set about rebuilding Japan after the war.

One can be certain this trove of cold hard moola and precious metal will never be turn into bits or bytes
which can then be evaporated with a fickle-fingered flick of the switch.

No, the Japanese will keep this precious cash firmly gripped in their clenched fist while declaring:

You can only take our cash from our cold dead hands.

Brigadier General Bonner Fellers

After the cataclysmic destruction of the Japanese by the American military, Brigadier General Bonner Fellers was a US Army officer who served as a director of psychological warfare, and was a calm voice of reason in the aftermath of this catastrophic war. 

Perhaps Bonner Fellers was one of the very few American who understood the importance of the Emperor to the Japanese people, and what it would have meant to execute Emperor Hirohito as a war criminal.

After the nuclear holocaust at the end of World War II, Bonner Fellers played a major role in the occupation of Japan, as he was tasked as the liaison between the American GHQ (General Headquarters) and Imperial Household. 

Nuclear Holocaust Japan 1945 - Land Of The Rising Son

Soon after the occupation began, Fellers wrote several influential memoranda concerning why it would be advantageous for the occupation, reconstruction of Japan, and long-term US interests to keep the Emperor on the throne, if only symbolically.

This is why exonerating the Emperor after World War II was one of the most important decisions in modern history, and thanks in most part to Bonner Fellers.

Brigadier General Bonner Fellers - Land Of The Rising Son

Up until the end of World War II, Japanese mythology considered the Emperor to be an incarnation of god, like all ancient belief systems.

To have executed the Japanese Emperor in the gallows of Sugamo prison would have been akin to Jesus Christ being crucified in front of the Christian nation on live TV, or pronouncing the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the spiritual leader of over 1.25 billion of our Muslim brother and sisters, a charlatan and fraud. 

Gallows of Sugamon Prison – Land Of The Rising Son

Let us now reflect on the passion and commitment of the Japanese, not only during wartime, but as a peaceful nation with deep seated constitution and an innate nation affinity as to what it means to be Japanese. 

What would have happened to Japan if indeed some of America’s very own war criminals, who, let’s not forget perpetrated some of the gravest unpunished war atrocities ever, would have gotten their way and executed the Emperor?

The Trial of Henry Kissinger – Land Of The Rising Son

The Americans would have been embroiled in a guerrilla war until the very last Japanese person laid down their life defending the dignity and honour of the Japanese nation and their freshly martyred deity Emperor Showa.

Certainly there would be no Toyota, Sony, or Nintendo, nor would modern Japan with its advanced civilization and ancient culture coexist as it does today.

ポケモン – Land Of The Rising Son

Like so many that come to understand and respect the Japanese people for their culture and unique way of life, Bonner Feller also understood the true nature of the Japanese when he befriended Aya Shimada in 1932, a Japanese exchange student in America before the outbreak of World War II.

Moreover, this level-headed soldier character was formulated by the Quakers, to which he was an adherent.

Interesting enough, the Quaker philosophy seems to have resonated deeply with the Japanese as Tsuda Umeko, the founder of Tsuda College became a Quaker during her time in the United States from 1871 to 1889.

津田梅子卒業 - Land Of The Rising Son

Bonner Feller was also instrumental in the selection of American Quaker educator Elizabeth Vining as the tutor to Crown Prince Akihito.

Crown Prince Akihito Elizabeth Gray Vining - Land Of The Rising Son

One could surmise the Crown Prince was tremendously influenced, not by a message of salivation through Christ, but true to Quaker form, by Ms. Vining reconstituting Crown Prince Akihito with fundamental principles common to all residing inside the peaceful kingdom of humanity.

Emperor Emeritus Akihito Emperres with Emeritus Michiko and Emperor Naruhito - Land Of The Rising Son

Further to this intriguing story, the Brigadier General was also intimately familiar with the writings of Koizumi Yakumo (Patrick Hearn), and became good friends with Lafcadio Hearn‘s descendants in Japan, the Koizumi family.

Just as this author was entreated by the powerful observation of Old Japan by Koizumi Yakumo, Bonner Feller also was surely moved by the eloquent way Yakumo described the Japan society and culture throughout his seminal body of work.

The final work of Koizumi Yakumo, Japan, An Attempt At Interpretation was posthumously published  in 1904, and can be considered among the most important illustration of the Japanese and our society, and undoubtedly this work had an extraordinary influence on Bonner Feller.

Japan An Attempt At Interpretation Early Edition– Land Of The Rising Son

Perhaps we can even say that it was the writings of Koizumi Yakumo that saved Japan after the war via his influence on Bonner Feller, and his role in preserving the ancient monarchy and culture of the Japanese.

Two Americans Who Loved Japan - Land Of The Rising Son

In 1971, Emperor Hirohito conferred the Second Order of the Sacred Treasure on Fellers in recognition of his long-standing contribution to promoting friendship between Japan and the United States.

For a deeper look into Fellers’s role in exonerating Emperor Hirohito one must be certain to watch the 2012 film Emperor, starring Tommy Lee Jones as MacArthur, and Matthew Fox as Brigadier General Bonner Fellers.

One’s own heartstrings are sure to be tugged when viewing this film, and here one will be lead into a deeper understanding of human relationships based upon love and mutual respect regardless of race, religion, creed, or colour.

Sensei

Sensei

Ideograms for “teacher” in Japanese are:

先生

Contained within these characters is something quite conceptually different from the English word “teacher.”

The first ideogram is 先 (sen – せん), means “before” and 生 (sei – 生), meaning life. 

Your sensei is not merely a teacher, but also a mentor for life, fortifying disciples with knowledge and wisdom to forge a unique path in the world. 

Here one can internalize the concept of sensei, by erasing the Occidental notion of what it means to be a teacher.

Occidental notion of what it means to be a teacher - Land Of The Rising Son

Honestly, when first arriving in Japan and starting the journey as language instructor, being called sensei left one slightly uncomfortable never having been formally educated as a teacher/sensei.

One soon came to realize the magnitude of the work and commitment necessary to be worthy of the esteemed title sensei.

Here in Japan, sensei can also be applied to the following:

Doctor
Lawyer
Tax Accountant
Politician
Martial Artist

Martial Art Master Bruce Lee - Land Of The Rising Son
However, here one must always take extra precautions as described by the quirky Japanese expression—mayu ni tsuba wo tsukeru—wipe saliva onto one’s eyebrow—keep one’s wits about them.

Really, here in Japan anyone wanting to call themselves sensei is welcome to do so.

However, as mentioned above, here is where one must be very wary of the unvetted and self-appointed sensei.

One can observe these shams, scams, and Ponzi scheme artists permeating the jungles of our precious communities while draining life from our society.

For an example, a self proclaimed marketing “guru” spamming the world with false hopes and dreams, while fleecing the gullible and naive.  

Con Artists Charles Ponzi - Land Of The Rising Son

Mal Matriculation Event: Nefariuos ones describe themselves as “guru,” as the word “charlatan” is too long for them to spell (°_°)*

Also keep in mind, sensei can be used in a highly derogatory and condescending manner, depending on the situation, tone, and various other protocols in play within the unwritten rules of the Japanese society.

One must be consciously aware as to the actual credibility of anyone calling themselves sensei.

Grind the curiosity out of the youth and enslave them - Land Of The Rising Son

Just because someone is awarded the title of sensei, does not mean they are also magically embodied with the essence of what it actually means to be a sensei.

Most teachers one encountered while being “educated” by the Industrial Education Complex were mundane and void of any sense of purpose, hope, or vision.

Indeed most of these people were simply government employees doing a prescribed job with no ability to prepare pupils for life in the real world.

In institutes of higher learning, most of the professors are dedicate to a particular domain of study and commit their lives to the advancement of the chosen subject.

Now more than ever, the motive and intention of any teacher must be regularly scrutinized carefully.

The worst thing that could ever happen to a fresh bright-eyed and bushy-tailed student thirsting for knowledge and guidance is to be indoctrinated into a system disconnect from the truth and reality of the subject hand at matter.

Dogma Yes or No? Land Of The Rising Son

Any sensei worth their salt will have invited intellectual curiosity, civil discourse, and objective investigation into the classroom.

Moreover, a true sensei will welcome any and all challenges their their mastery and discipline, with the ulterior motivation of having one’s own disciples surpass them and become a sensei in their own right.

This is described in a Japanese Proverb—oni no nyōbō kijin ga naru—wife of a devil grows worse than her mateor—apprentice outstriping the master.

It is only then can the authentic sensei feel a deep sense of personal satisfaction, for their own destiny has now been fulfilled after enlightening the next generation of those destine to lead the world into new paradigms of our evolving civilization.
