We've arrived in Bali!
A flight was cancelled due to a typhoon, so we rushed to
secure another flight and made it to Bali.
Joined the breakfast gathering!!!
Everyone, thank you so much!
Morning meditation・・・
What a wonderful time! Today, tomorrow, the day after…
Three days together — let's make it great!
Thank you for joining every single time!
Hearing you say "every time I do this work,
something transformative happens" makes me so happy!
Ahh — this is Bali. My body is responding.
My muscles are releasing tension.
Congratulations on your book YUKIE-san
Truly, a Quantum Leap

The sky seen from the room's pool soaks into you.
Every photo taken in Bali — everyone is sparkling!
A photo with Dr. Higa! So moved, here in Bali!!
We're off to experience EM bacteria culture activities!
I felt like an onion
So hot hot hot
Ayana-san asking for water
In the evening we went to Kudeta
Step outside the shop, and beyond the pool — the ocean!
A time of big laughs with the three girls!
These three rarely get together.
Kai-san got scared and made a run for it! (lol)
The sunset bleeds into time. Memories spill through the cracks.
Whenever Kiyoshi and I came here, we were always completely wasted.
I've already quit drinking, and four years have passed.
When you drink, time flies like an arrow.
Drinking alcohol means drinking time itself.
No wonder it costs so much.
When the sunset begins, miracles happen too.
Walk along the shore, and everywhere you look — doorways to another dimension…
KUDETA reveals its true nature when night falls.
Is it the instincts of the guests that do it, or
the instincts that spill out from the place itself?
Everywhere you look, there are demons.
and they begin to move・・・
The night starts to stir・・・
Can't be stopped
The "Let's Buy Smart" TV program with Minimum Pay.
See, once night falls, it starts to shift, doesn't it?!
1. Guided Meditation
I'd wanted to incorporate meditation into seminars for years,
but in Japan — partly due to certain incidents —
there was resistance to the idea of everyone sitting together.
The yoga boom made meditation more casual, and it finally became possible to introduce.
We opened the seminar with a guided meditation.
The goal: "to approach not the head (thinking) but the midbrain, which governs emotion and behavior."
2. The Structure of Reality Perception: The Vase and Faces Diagram
Just as a single image can simultaneously show "a vase" and "two faces," countless realities overlap and coexist in this world.
Only what you perceive appears as "reality."
A real estate agent sees real estate; an esthetics salon owner sees salons. What you don't perceive is the same as nonexistent.
3. The Four-Layer Structure of Reality（To Me → As Me）
| Layer | Concept | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| ① | To Me (reality happens to me) | Victim mentality. The pendulum swings at its widest. Tends to avoid challenges. |
| ② | By Me (I am in control) | Self-driven, action-oriented. Moves by goals, plans, and reverse-engineering. |
| ③ | Through Me (reflected through me) | Moves by following synchronicity. A "blessing in disguise" kind of sensibility. |
| ④ | As Me (the universe = me) | The world of oneness. Enlightenment. Separation dissolves. |
① and ② are a "separation view"; ③ and ④ are "the world of integration."
4. How to Engage with To Me・By Me People
For To Me people (other-oriented; capable but unable to act), the prescription is:
- Don't "put them on the front line" — instead ask "I need your help" (support-style encouragement)
- The By Me person takes responsibility, while creating a space where the To Me person can shine as a supporter
- Negative capability (not negating, but descending into it with them) is effective
Common mistakes By Me people make:
- Trying to "change" To Me people through positive thinking → this backfires
5. Through Me & The White Engine
- Through Me is a state of "moving not from self-axis or other-axis, but from inspiration"
- A concept very close to the White Engine (motivation rooted in doing it for others / a sense of purpose)
- Sustains longer and goes further than the Black Engine (don't want to lose / want to be recognized)
6. Using the Beautiful State (alpha brain waves)
- Thoughts are not you (the champagne bubble analogy: the bubbles aren't the essence — the liquid is)
- Feeling physical sensations brings you into alpha waves, allowing you to maintain a Beautiful State
- From that state, "blooming the flower of consciousness" draws reality toward you as synchronicity (RAS activation / rewriting the self-image)
Summary
The essential shift — "reality doesn't come from the outside; it is projected from within" — is the heart of the journey of growth from To Me → By Me → Through Me → As Me.
_______________________________
When analyzed strictly…
Viewed from a strategic partner perspective, this seminar content is an exceptionally strong theme. However, delivered as-is, the abstraction level is a little high, and depending on the audience, there's a risk of leaving people feeling "I get it, but I don't know what to do with it."
↓↓↓
The core of this seminar is the idea that "reality is not something fixed on the outside — it is projected differently depending on one's state of perception."
And as that state of perception evolves from To Me → By Me → Through Me → As Me, the way life looks, the way one moves through it, and the way one relates to others all change.
This is a very strong arc.
That said, if there's one improvement to make —
Add more concrete everyday examples
before moving into the territory of "universe / oneness / synchronicity."
Without that, it risks sounding spiritual, and becomes harder to land as something applicable to real work, relationships, and business.
↓↓↓
- The moment you decide to buy a car, you start seeing that car everywhere
- The moment you fall in love, the way you see the world changes
- Pregnant women suddenly notice other pregnant women and baby products everywhere
- When anxious, everything looks like a risk
- The same word from a boss lands completely differently depending on your state
- How you read social media shifts depending on where you are emotionally
- People's financial realities differ based on their relationship with money
- A leader sees people's talents — not their flaws
- A traveler sees a city with fresh eyes
- On a bad health day, the world feels cold
In a single phrase
This seminar is
"a seminar for changing how you see reality, before trying to change reality itself."
Or alternatively,
"a story of growth — from victim consciousness, to creator consciousness, to the power of surrender."
To make the structure as strong as possible
1. First, let them feel in their body that "reality differs from person to person"
The vase and faces diagram is excellent.
What needs to land here is:
People don't see reality — they mistake what their brain picks up for reality.
A real estate agent sees vacant properties.
A hairdresser sees haircuts.
An investor sees opportunities.
An anxious person sees risks.
Someone in love sees signs from the other person.
In other words,
opening with —
reality isn't "out there" — it's what your own perception is picking up —
makes for a powerful entry point.
2. Present To Me / By Me / Through Me / As Me as stages of growth in life
This part is critically important.
To Me
"Why does this keep happening to me?"
"The environment is the problem."
"It's that person's fault."
"The timing is wrong."
This is victim consciousness.
But it doesn't need to be rejected.
When people are hurt, To Me is where they naturally go first.
What matters is not staying there.
By Me
"I will change my reality."
"I set goals."
"I take action."
"I make plans."
"I take responsibility."
Life shifts considerably here.
However, By Me has a weakness too — the exhaustion that comes from trying to control everything yourself.
Through Me
Less "I am doing this" — more a sense that something larger is happening through me. Intuition, synchronicity, meaningful coincidence, riding the flow.
What's important here is that this is not passive wishful thinking — the flow only becomes visible to those who are already in motion.
As Me
This is the territory of enlightenment and oneness.
In a seminar setting, however, it's best not to go too deep here.
For the audience, expressions like — "What I thought was my enemy was actually part of me" "Not fighting life, but living as life itself" — tend to land most effectively.
The Clearest Framework to work with
The clearest framework to communicate with —
This summary makes it easy to apply:
| Stage | Habitual phrase | State | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| To Me | Why always me? | Victim consciousness | Receive the emotion without rejecting it |
| By Me | I'll change it | Action / responsibility | Decide on goals and steps |
| Through Me | The flow is here | Intuition / resonance | Move in response to the signs |
| As Me | It was all me | Integration / oneness | Live beyond separation |
A word of caution
The biggest risk in this content is making
To Me look like a low level.
Saying to a To Me person,
"You have a victim mentality" —
will cause them to shut down.
So the framing should be:
To Me is not a bad state — it's a natural defense response that arises when the heart has been hurt.
*And above all — To Me people are remarkably capable. Because they are so attuned to others' evaluations (other-oriented), they can be extraordinarily high performers.
And to bring a To Me person up to By Me, what's needed is not logic — it's a sense of safety.
This point is crucial.
The approach to To Me people is masterful
Not "You need to work harder!"
but "I need your help."
This is excellent.
To Me people are afraid of being the one responsible.
But they can move when it means being of use to someone.
So instead of — "You do it"
— say — "I'll take responsibility.
Just lend me your strength."
This unlocks the other person's capabilities.
As a framework for leadership, this is extremely powerful.
Seminar title ideas
For this content, something along these lines fits well:
Reality Begins Inside You — A seminar for changing how you see life, from To Me to As Me —
Or:
The 4 Levels of Consciousness That Change Reality — From victim consciousness to a life where synchronicity unfolds —
For something more distinctly Takumi-style:
Reality Wasn't Something to Find — It Was Something to Bloom
works beautifully too.
*Going so far as to suggest titles! (lol)
The landing
Ending with this makes for a beautiful finish:
Reality doesn't come at you from the outside.
Reality is what your inner state projects onto the world.
In To Me, the world looks like an enemy.
In By Me, the world becomes a field of challenge.
In Through Me, the world sends you signs.
In As Me, the boundary between the world and yourself disappears.
So the first step to changing reality is not forcing something to change — it's noticing the state of your own inner world. From there, life begins to change — quietly, but surely.
This seminar has tremendous potential as content that bridges spirituality, coaching, leadership, and personal transformation.
