▪️How to Participate
Please read the purpose of this gathering outlined below and radiate the light of awakening by joining in prayer from your respective locations.
You may pray at any time between 8:00 PM and 9:45 PM (Japan Standard Time) on August 19—the day of the ceremony—but the most powerful period is around 8:45 PM to 9:00 PM, when the "Meditation of Light" takes place; we therefore recommend aligning your prayer with this time if possible.
While the form of your prayer is entirely up to you, we suggest visualizing the "Meditation of Light" described at the bottom to further enhance the power of resonance.
▪️Purpose of the Gathering
This gathering originated when the number "819" kept appearing to a teenage female member of the Konohana Family. She encountered "819" in various everyday contexts—such as on clocks, license plates, and receipts—and eventually discovered a deep connection between this code and the wisdom of the Maya, a civilization rooted in the significance of numbers. We consulted Venerable Grandmother Nah Kin, the High Priestess of the Solar Mayan Tradition in Mexico—with whom we have long maintained a relationship—and through channeling, she deciphered the meaning. She revealed that this number sequence is incredibly powerful, signifying a shift in both human consciousness and the era itself. In summary: 8 represents a "field of resonance," 1 represents "spirit," and 9 represents the "expansion of consciousness." The sequence heralded the arrival of an era where, as people create a field of conscious resonance, a pillar of cosmic spirit descends; by aligning their inner light with this pillar and directing it toward the heavens, collective consciousness expands, guiding the Earth into a new dimension.
This interpretation also resonated with an experience "Jiji" had prior to the founding of the Konohana Family. While meditating, Jiji saw seven sages—including Jesus and Buddha—appear before him, yet the eighth position remained vacant. When he asked why that spot was empty, the reply was, "You are the one who should stand there." This signified that the eighth sage's position was not meant for any single specific individual, but rather for all of awakened humanity to occupy.
▪️About the Meditation of Light
The following is the guided narration for the "Meditation of Light." If you are meditating as a group, please form a circle. If you are meditating alone, a circle is not necessary. By meditating while following the imagery below, the light rising from various parts of the Earth will resonate and grow more powerful.
-------------------
Now, a massive pillar of light descends from the heaven into the center of the circle we are creating.
Within each of us, too, resides an inner light.
As each of us awakens, we release that inner light toward the great central pillar.
As the light of each person's awakening joins the central pillar, the pillar grows even larger and shines more brilliantly.
That pillar of awakening light rises powerfully toward the heavens.
It ascends higher and higher, far up into the sky.
Now, the pillar of light has reached beyond the atmosphere.
In the same way, pillars of light emitted by awakened people rise from all corners of the Earth, spreading out high above the planet like blossoms opening all at once.
That light expands in all directions, merging with the light of other pillars and enveloping the entire planet.
Souls that had met tragic ends and wandered the Earth, unable to ascend, are now embraced and healed by that light, returning to their true spiritual home.
The light of awakening also embraces those souls living on Earth who have not yet awakened.
The ascension of souls and the awakening of people merge into a vast vortex of light, circling the globe.
The Earth regains its original radiance and releases that light of awakening out into the cosmos.
O souls, remember who you truly are.
Illuminate the world with that light of awakening, and create a heaven on Earth based on a new relationship between the planet and humanity.
-------------------
At a time when conflict persists across the globe, we invite you to join us in restoring the Earth to its true radiance through the awakening of each and every one of us. Let us together become a tailwind that will usher in a new era on Earth!
