There’s a sea lion in the ocean right in front of our hotel — and wow, it's loud! 😂
I went to see this!
Shohei Ohtani!!
The energy in the stadium completely changes the moment he appears!
Super exciting!
Is “International Journalist” Really a Job?
This was my first time learning about Tsutsumi-san.
So fascinating.
Why do people think the way they do?
It all comes down to the values, information, and assumptions they hold at the foundation.
And her perspective is captivating.
↓↓↓
🧭【Stage 1】Firsthand Experience of 9/11 and the Discomfort that Followed
Journalist Tsutsumi was in the building next to the Twin Towers during 9/11. While fleeing down the stairs, she directly experienced the terror of information being cut off.
People, steel, and glass were raining from the sky. Panic and fear overwhelmed the scene.
This led to doubts: “Was it really just the planes that caused the collapse?” “Why did Building 7 fall in such a strange way?”
- Firefighters developed rare cancers — nose cancer, among others. Something didn’t add up.
🛰【Stage 2】9/11 as the catalyst for a Surveillance Society
- There was a rapid increase in surveillance cameras (approximately 3,000), justifying the unauthorized collection of personal information.
The internet (originally a military tool) and services like Google offered convenience — in exchange for our freedoms.
- A surveillance society was born.
The Patriot Act, self-censorship by the media — all progressed rapidly.
Then came the anthrax attacks — a direct strike on journalism.
- There are no coincidences.
🎭【Stage 3】Media Staging and Spin Control
When major bills (e.g., the Monsanto Protection Act) are passed, celebrity scandals or hot-button LGBT topics conveniently dominate headlines.
- It’s all spin — distraction.Media is crafted, edited, packaged as entertainment.
- Scandals don’t “just happen”; their timing is managed, timed to occur at specific moments and are used as tools for manipulating public opinion.
- Television can’t be trusted.
- Even the footage of the Trump shooting — it was deleted right away?
- We’re being shown what they want us to see.
- It’s about controlling how people perceive the world.
- Guiding them before they even realize it. We only see what’s been curated for us.
- Natural farming is Japan’s only real future.
- Peer pressure, when redirected, can be a force for good.
- Awakening requires a perspective rooted in altruism.
- In the soil, microbes — good, bad, and opportunistic — must coexist in balance.
- Even with immigration, we must let each person live their own gift.
- True diversity requires clarity in its definition. Is that definition being twisted?
🧠【Stage 4】Fear and the Hijacking of Our Attention
Fear dulls human judgment. We begin to live on autopilot, reacting to whatever happens.
- Surrendering — “Use me for a higher good” — is the path to harmony.
- Defensiveness leads to impurity.
Social media, breaking news, and alerts steal our attention to look outward.
When emotions (religion, race, human rights) are politicized, they drive division.
This leads to binary thinking — conflict arises, and our attention is hijacked.- "Fear not" — the most repeated phrase in the Bible.
- New spaces — like empty land — are fertile ground for new creation.
- Now, technology can even read our emotions via brainwaves.
🧬【Stage 5】The Misuse of "Diversity" and the Loss of True Empathy
Diversity should be beautiful. But today, it’s become a tool to silence differing opinions.
The contradiction: “Be quiet — in the name of diversity.”We’re losing freedom of expression.
True diversity is each person shining in their own light — and inspiring others by doing so.
🧘【Stage 6】How to Heal: Feel it All, Surrender, Awaken
Unprocessed emotions — anger, guilt, etc. — hold us back.
Like children, we must fully feel our emotions so they can pass instantly.
If we suppress them, they smolder and reappear in other forms.
This is catharsis.We keep replaying the same dramas.The key to awakening is shifting our attention inward — not on outer chaos, but our own feelings.
God helps those who immerse themselves in something wholeheartedly.
- Just remembering is enough — we haven’t forgotten, just buried it.
🌱【Stage 7】Clues for the Future: Soil, Shared Meals, Books, Local Governance
Organic farming and local food certification programs are spreading (e.g., in Matsukawa Town or Iwaizumi, Iwate).
Acts that deepen empathy: sharing meals, reading books.
Like soil microbes, everything in life depends on balance.
Even traditional village peer pressure, if channeled well, can become a positive force.
🪞【Stage 8】The Key to Re-Harmonizing Humanity
「The message: “We already know. We just need to remember.”
- From “me! me! me!” to the opposite — shared meals and empathy.
Surrendering is aligning with nature, the universe, and the divine.
Ultimately, we’re all moving toward harmony.Each person awakens in their own time.
To coexist with technology, we must intentionally direct our attention and make conscious choices.
- The more we put our inner world into words, the more deeply we feel it.
- Knowing others reveals yourself.
🪞 [Stage 8] The Key to Re-Harmonizing Humanity
The message: “We already know. We just need to remember.”
From “me! me! me!” to the opposite — shared meals and empathy.
Surrendering is aligning with nature, the universe, and the divine.
Ultimately, we’re all moving toward harmony.
Each person awakens in their own time.

Knowing others reveals yourself.
🎯In Summary: 3 Key Concepts
Use your attention with intention
Surrender to reconnect with natural harmony
Fully feel your emotions to release the past and return to yourself
There are no coincidences in what happens.
It’s all orchestrated — produced, edited, made to entertain.
We must learn to teach others how to see.
Fear not.
We only see what we are shown.
“Use me for a greater good.”
To fully feel an emotion is to digest it instantly.
God helps those who devote their full attention to something.
—That state of total immersion.
All we need is to remember.=We have forgotten but it's not gone.
The more we put things into words, the more richly we feel ourselves.
And in truly knowing another, we come to know ourselves.

Thank you Mr. Hiramoto!
This Morning’s Talk at the Orange County Ethics Corporation Association
I had the honor of speaking at the Orange County chapter of the Ethics Corporation Association this morning!
↓↓↓
Below is a clear, step-by-step summary of Takumi Yamazaki’s lecture, “The Motivation Switch: Skyrocket Your Life.”
🔵 Chapter 1: Introduction and Life Journey
Background:
Born in 1965 in Mie Prefecture, now 60 years old.
Started his first business at 20; established Attack Co., Ltd. at 22 (now in its 38th year).
Authored over 62 books, translated across Asia and the U.S.
Also an artist, T-shirt and sunglasses designer, actor, film director, and restaurateur.
Has coached over 700 students aiming to reach 10,000.
Seven-Pocket Thinking:
Diversify income into seven streams to balance stability and challenge.
Life design focuses on experience.
🔵 Chapter 2: The Concept of the Life Map
Visualizing Life Roles:
Multiple roles such as “individual,” “father,” “husband,” “colleague.”
Record dreams, challenges, and weekly tasks for each role.
Accurate Current State Awareness:
Understanding current position and destination is key to life’s GPS working.
Example: Self-assessing your “river” state in six levels—are you swimming upstream? Clinging to the shore?
🔵 Chapter 3: Methods to Realize Desires
Write 100 Dreams:
Visualize latent desires by listing them out.
After running out of ideas, true heartfelt dreams emerge.
Types of Dreams: Red vs. Blue:
Red: Passion and challenge (e.g., becoming an actor).
Blue: Quiet happiness (e.g., chatting peacefully in a park).
For Those Unsure of Their Desires:
Write a “stop-doing list” and invert it to find dream seeds.
Dislikes and discomforts hint at social issues—opportunities for solution marketing.
🔵 Chapter 4: 10X Goals (10X Thinking)
Doubling vs. Tenfold Growth:
Doubling is an extension of the present, often exhausting.
Tenfold requires bold leaps, negating the present, and opening new perspectives and information sources.
The Power of “It Can’t Be Done!”:
Growth begins by positively denying your current self.
Living Guided by Inspiration:
Set goals beyond current reality.
Trust the path inspired intuition shows you.
🔵 Chapter 5: The Arrival of the AI Era and Future Design
Exponential AI Evolution:
Performance doubles every 3.3 months (16x yearly, 1 million times in 5 years).
In the AGI era, the gap between humans and AI will be like humans to goldfish.
Changes in Work and Values:
Society with 5-day workweeks.
Wealth shifts from money to experiences, meaning, and empathy.
Human value is defined by “unique ability” — what only you can do.
Rethinking Future Plans:
Moving from planning based on the past to imagining and designing the future.
🔵 Chapter 6: Era of Transformation and Next-Gen Leadership
New Leader Image:
“Leave results, not your name.”
Act for harmony and peace, not personal gain.
Key to Self-Transformation: Observing Sensations:
Feelings govern emotions and actions, not thoughts.
Cultivate the power to observe subtle sensations without being controlled by them.
Align subconscious (sensations) with conscious (thoughts).
🔵 Chapter 7: From Thought to Action
Weekly Life Map Check:
Clarify “dreams,” “challenges,” and “weekly tasks” by role.
Have a 30-minute accountability check with a partner (can be friends).
Focus on “Desire” Rather Than “Goals”:
Goals are milestones, desires are the compass.
Ask yourself:
What are my desires?
What did I do yesterday?
Was it truly effective?
What should I do today?
Final Thought: Dreams Are Maps to the Future:
Yesterday’s dream is the past’s.
Start dreaming new dreams today.
Through dreaming, we create the future.
