1. The True Nature of Tenchūsatsu (the 12-Year Fortune Cycle)

  • Developing the idea:
    • Tenchūsatsu isn’t an ominous stretch when bad things happen — it is the “autumn” (the harvest, the report card) within a 12-year cycle made up of three years each of winter, spring, summer, and autumn.
    • The way you have lived the past nine years — sowing in winter, sprouting in spring, flourishing in summer — appears directly as the fruit you now bear.
    • It is not the time to launch new ventures or make capital investments on your own initiative. These are three years for receiving the results that come sincerely, and for accepting the invitations of others — staying receptive, scaling back, and putting things in order.
  • Draft for posting:

“Tenchūsatsu is the report card for the past nine years. There is nothing to be afraid of — it is the time to prepare yourself to receive the results honestly.”

2. How to Act When Your Fortune Is Low and You Shouldn’t Move

  • Developing the idea:
    • When a chance arrives during a period when both the readings and the timing say “better not to move,” pushing forward on your own initiative (0→1) only spins your wheels.
    • The solution is to ride the wave of someone whose fortune is rising — to become their supporter.
    • By not making yourself the lead, and instead devoting yourself to supporting others and building their stage, you borrow their good fortune and share in the results.
  • Draft for posting:
  • Conclusion: “Don’t step forward yourself — move into a supporting role for someone whose fortune is high, and ride that momentum.”

3. The Energy and Environment Around You (The Law of Fortune and Boundaries)

  • Developing the idea:
    • People who succeed don’t do it alone — they succeed as a group, one pulling up the next like potatoes on a vine.
    • When people with poor fortune gather around you, it is a sign that your own energy — your protective boundary — has weakened.
    • To rebuild your fortune, actively go to people whose fortune is high, to places that are thriving, to power spots, and go receive that higher frequency.
  • Draft for posting:
  • Conclusion: “Unlucky people being drawn to you is a sign that your own fortune is falling. Getting yourself into a group with high energy is the first priority.”

4. Integrating Economics and Morality (The Thinking of Ninomiya Sontoku and Konosuke Matsushita)

  • Developing the idea:
    • “Economics without morality is crime” — takers who chase only their own gain get weeded out by public envy and by social norms.
    • “Morality without economics is talking in your sleep” — however lofty the ideal, without action and real returns it cannot change reality.
    • When four things line up — your thinking, your words, your actions, and what you take joy in (delighting in society turning for the better rather than in showing yourself off) — real magnetism and real results are born.
  • Draft for posting:
  • Conclusion: “Only the companies and individuals whose intentions, actions, and real returns line up — the ones who build something the whole society is glad about — are permitted to expand.”

5. How You Treat the Small Things (Even a Single Yen)

  • Developing the idea:
    • Whether you pick up a one-yen coin lying on the ground isn’t about the amount — it is the dividing line between someone who treats small things carelessly and someone who doesn’t.
    • People who make light of small things cut corners in their work and their relationships too, settling for “this’ll do.”
    • That sincerity in the details — adding one extra word after a thank-you — is what draws long-term trust and good fortune.
  • Draft for posting:
  • Conclusion: “The attentiveness to treat even a single yen as precious is what ultimately draws great fortune and the trust of others.”

6. Speaking in a Way That Makes People Happy (The Quality of Communication)

  • Developing the idea:
    • The way of speaking that makes people unhappy judges them with correct arguments — “Why were you late?”, shoving a screenshot of their mistake in their face. You may be right, but you lower your own worth.
    • The way that makes people happy protects the other person’s standing instead of diminishing it — “Did something go wrong?”, “It was our mistake for giving you that impression.”
    • Choosing the kind of communication where two people lift each other up is the very essence of being someone everyone warms to.
  • Draft for posting:
  • Conclusion: “The person who doesn’t judge, and who chooses words that let both parties move forward looking up, is the one who is loved most and whose fortune rises.”

7. The 3-to-1 Rule for Invitations That Land

  • Developing the idea:
    • Communication comes in levels of difficulty, and the hardest of them all is the invitation — asking someone out, making a proposal.
    • The real reason invitations get turned down is that who you are, and the value you offer day to day, hasn’t reached the other person.
    • Only once you have built a relationship of trust by regularly giving them three or more pieces of genuinely useful information does a single invitation land.
  • Draft for posting:
  • Conclusion: “To get one invitation accepted, hand the other person three or more useful pieces of information or acts of consideration beforehand.”

8. Reviving Your Dreams in Your Fifties, and the Power of Resolve

  • Developing the idea:
    • The strength of your fifties: unlike in your twenties and thirties, you and your friends both hold real social position, connections, and resources, which makes this the decade when a dream you once gave up is easiest to actually give form to.
    • How resolve works:
      • “I’ll do it once the conditions are right” — all you notice are the reasons you can’t, and you wear yourself out leaning on effort and talent.
      • Deciding first — the same people and the same scenery start to look like allies and openings, synchronicity kicks in, and the road opens.
  • Draft for posting:
  • Conclusion: “Because you resolve first, the connections and the wisdom you need appear, and everything you have accumulated opens the road all at once.”

Don’t look in the direction you don’t want to go. Because that is exactly where you’ll end up.

Don’t move toward what you “want to do” — move toward what you can’t help but do!

That’s what Bashar said.

When this arrived…

…it had turned into this! (lol)

Everyone, I’m counting on you———

The task manager is the best!

GO!!!

The god of food. I fell in love.

Thank you so much!

The moment everyone breaks into a smile. The god of kindness comes down into the space between people.

What I wanted to talk about at the start of the month. What gets through is a drop of life itself. The deeper mind remembers.

Notes on a life. A promise made to myself. The people I’ve booked into the future.

Faces flushed with intensity, sparkling, laughter deep behind the eyes.

What opens the road is always resolve. Not talent, not effort, not motivation.

Day two of eating ma-go-wa-ya-sa-shi-i (the traditional Japanese set of whole foods)!

Listening to him talk about the magic of film, I want to learn every last bit of it!

The worldview he crops out, the time he seals in, the gaze from another dimension he looks through.

I want a 360 camera!

Last summer in Shonan, I was given the chance to paint a picture. A few months ago, we sang Aimyon at karaoke. And now, dinner — thank you!

Thank you so much! “Company” means to share bread. In Japanese we’d say eating rice from the same pot!

Thank you both so much!

Drifting Trunk Line 000, Vol. 3 — Amazon

Every Saturday at 13:13, middle schooler Dai Oyama and the bold, beautiful Shizuko Hirata board the Drifting Trunk Line 000 (“Three Zero”) and set out on a journey across time and space. Arriving in the Tokyo of the year 72873, the two of them meet the last Japanese person alive, Hikaru Yumino. Mocked relentlessly for no reason at all, and determined to avenge the family who died of it, Yumino sets a weapon that will destroy the Earth. Dai Oyama and Shizuko Hirata try to stop it, but…

She is also the real-life model for this Shizuko Hirata!

Thank you so much!

Right now, this is selling like crazy for Power-sha!
