“En” Force (Connection, Money, and Link)
The Japanese term “En” has several meanings, including “connection,” “money,” and “link.” Exactly as the term implies, “En” force is related to those elements. One of the most noticeable phenomena is that the meaning of a word implies God’s law. The “En” force affects family, friendships, business relationships, marriage, financial luck, opportunities to earn money, skin, blood circulation, a day (night to morning), a life (spiritual world, birth, and death), space (solar system), atoms, and more. Furthermore, the author highlights the significance of connecting with God.
Strengthen Connection with God
According to the author, we can be reborn as humans in the next life if we have a connection with God as humans. The connection with God is significant. The author mentions that a connection with God can be weakened, strengthened, or vanished. He teaches how to strengthen their connection with God. To strengthen the connection, he recommends engaging in God-related activities such as visiting a place where God or gods are worshipped, learning God’s law, and participating in a worship practice. The author is the chief priest of a Shinto shrine and has provided the opportunity to help people in a Shinto shrine. The other God-related activity that strengthens the connection is offering money to God daily, even if it is only a small amount to organizations that help the world and people somehow. He teaches readers to pray and make offerings with terms such as “Please use this offer for the world and for people.” The author notes that offering money to a bad organization means you will help the wrong actions. So it is important to research and decide the appropriate organization for which to send the money.
Karma and Family
One of the other connections can be family. Some people live in difficult situations because of their parents or spouses. People wonder why I was born to these parents or got married with my spouse. The answer is that family is created by a karmic link.
The author teaches how to classify people based on their karma. The classification proves that family members and marital partners have similar karma, which is created by their thoughts and actions. Each environment we live in is the outcome of our past thoughts and actions. So, to change the environment, we first need to understand and change our own negative karma.
How to Receive Positive En
The book teaches that negative En has a big impact on our lives. For example, a lack of positive En may block marriage or lead to a financial crisis. To change our negative karma and receive good karma related to En, the author writes about positive thoughts and actions related to En, which include understanding and respecting other people, continuing to do good actions like volunteering, and practicing God-related activities.
Summary
This book explains how En functions both physically and spiritually. The author created this book using examples, images, and facts so that readers can understand the principles that affect humans and the universe even if they cannot see them. This book assists readers to gain an in-depth knowledge of this divine principle.
