Is a 'Self-Axis' Not Enough? The 'Super-Self-Axis' Way of Living Needed for the Coming Era

A New Way of Living Called the 'Super-Self-Axis'

Hello, this is Kato, a Qigong practitioner.

Up until now, I have been active under the theme of 'establishing a self-axis.'
However, I have recently felt the need to update this further.


The Limitations of the Term 'Self-Axis'

While there is no clear definition for the term 'self-axis,' it is generally used to mean

'living in accordance with one's own values and the center of one's mind and body, without being swayed by others or external factors.'

In a society overflowing with information like today's, this seems like a very positive way of thinking.
However, there are actually some problems with it.

But there are actually problems with it as well.

  • It may end up affirming an 'ego' created by the influence of others.

  • It may lack the flexibility to respond to a rapidly changing reality.

  • It ignores the fact that humans are open systems.

  • There is a danger of losing balance with the world by using one's 'own beliefs' as a shield.

For example, a 'politician who stays in power by lying even when they are not supported by the people' is, I think, a perfect example of a 'self-axis' in a bad sense.
I believe this is a prime example of a 'self-axis' in the negative sense.


'Just Going with the Flow' is Also Dangerous

So, conversely, does that mean we should 'just live by going with the flow'?
That is also not quite right.

This is because without your own goals, values, or definition of happiness,
life becomes like drifting at sea.

Without a destination or a compass, where you end up depends on luck.
The chances of finding happiness this way are likely low.


That is where the 'Super-Self-Axis' comes in.

What I am proposing is an extension of the standard self-axis.
To distinguish it, I intentionally call it the **'Super-Self-Axis.'**

The 'self' referred to here is an existence that goes beyond the physical body and psychological ego.
It is a self captured on a much larger scale thatconnects with cosmic order and the source of life.

In other words,

  • the foundation of life

  • the self as a phenomenon

  • future goals

Having a single axis that runs through all of these.
I believe that is what is needed in the coming era.


Traditional training and modern Qigong

The "Super-Personal Axis" is a term I coined, but
in fact, historically, it is a state that many religious figures and practitioners have aimed for.

One of the methodologies for this is preciselyQigong.

However, the modern Qigong I have studied (following the lineage of Dr. Tomabechi) has
the idea that "there is no absolute truth = emptiness" at its core.

In other words,

  • "It's okay if you follow God"

  • "It's correct if you follow the path"

It is not about stopping your thinking like that, but
the process of constantly thinking and verifyingitself is what we value.


The joy of the Super-Personal Axis

Of course, this is not an easy path.
But I think this:

There is no path more enjoyable than this.

The moment common sense is overturned, the brain is activated and it feels incredibly good.
Because you keep thinking, you can demonstrate functions that are useful to society.

And, the process of pursuinghappiness and abundance on a scale that transcends time and spaceitself becomes the axis, so
the mind can always remain calm.


Towards future dissemination

That is why I will now update my activity concept to the "Super-Personal Axis".

We are preparing several very exciting projects for the end of the year, so
I will be sharing information about them frequently from now on.

Please look forward to it!
