There Are Things That Cannot Grow Through Time Performance

When reading a person's personality through spiritual reading, I sometimes see a large tree.

A tree is a symbol of growth.

Rather than wanting to enjoy a relaxed daily life, they feel comfortable in days spent growing toward a goal. You could say they are a person with that kind of nature.

Seeing a large tree seems to be relatively common when I am reading the personalities of professional athletes or business executives.

Furthermore, depending on 'what kind of tree is seen,' their individual personalities also seem to come into view.

・A tree that stretches its large branches left and right as if to expand its defensive range.
・A tree that aims high and grows straight upward.
・A tree with many rugged burls, perhaps from experiencing many troubles and conflicts.
・A tree with large branches that bends flexibly, as if it were made of rubber...

When reading a certain university professor...

When I read a certain university professor, I saw an interesting vision.

I could see a magnificent large tree for them as well.

When I suddenly thought of their younger days and asked, 'How did you grow?', the tree peeled back its own bark to show me the inside.

Many layers of bark were folded over each other to form a thick trunk.
By adding rings, I grow myself a little bit larger, one layer at a time.
I am also watching over my own family, little by little, as the years accumulate.
That was the vision I saw.

Furthermore, I could see the wrinkles around their eyes layering over each other like elephant skin.
Their gaze was directed slightly upward, and a deep sense of respect for their family was conveyed.

On the website of that professor's laboratory, the following was written:

'Academic research is an intellectual adventure where one discovers their own points of argument while pondering, and pushes forward toward the best hypothesis. To do this, one must gradually cultivate and nurture problem-finding abilities as if water were soaking into the ground, prepare evidence that everyone can accept, construct a persuasive argument, and form a theory that is not self-centered. Let us acquire this stance and mindset together.'

If you are obsessed with time performance or cost performance, neither you nor others will grow.

It is said that young people today seek cost performance and time performance.

Perhaps it is the result of us, their parents' generation, having continued to seek those things without realizing it.

However, neither one's own growth nor love for others can be created instantly.

Just like letting water soak into the soil, it is only by continuously accumulating over a long period of time that you finally grow one size larger, and then another.

By repeating that, before you know it, you become a presence so large it overflows from your hands.

It may not be a coincidence that in spiritual readings, the symbol of growth appears in the form of a tree.
