Book Review: Fushigina Kiroku Volume 3
In this book, readers can learn about God, karma, and the law of order, which is one of the laws of God. The author provides detailed explanations with many factual stories.

What is Karma?
Everyone has karma, which is the outcome of one’s thoughts and actions. Karma has the power to influence a person’s fate. When a person has good thoughts and actions that benefit the world or others, that person develops karma, which influences the person’s fate positively. When a person’s thoughts and actions have negative effects on the world or other people, that person generates karma, which affect the person’s fate negatively. In general, people with more positive karma are more likely to enjoy good fortune. Examples include receiving assistance, meeting helpful individuals, and finding necessary resources. Contributing to the world and helping people will boost one’s good karma.
The author emphasizes the significance of acknowledging one’s own karma. The book shows many kinds of karma, including an unnatural death, a sexual problem, a mental difficulty, and so on. Recognizing our karma allows us to improve our thoughts and actions.
Karma Analysis
Numerous methods are offered to figure out one’s personal karma. The initial classifications are characterized by five races, or five various skin colors created by God, such as black, white, red, blue, and yellow. The nine-star horoscope and twelve zodiac signs are then used as sub-categories to create different karma groupings.
The author highlights that family members have similar karma. Thus, family is the best place to start looking for the nature of our karma. By looking at my family history, I can see that I have family extinction karma since my uncle, my grandparents’ first son, is missing. I also verified that my family members have the same or similar karma by dividing them into nine-star horoscopes and twelve zodiac signs.
Law of God
Another main topic in this book is the law of God. It is a natural law similar to the laws of physics such as the law of motion. The laws of physics represent physical movement. The law of God represents both physical and spiritual movement. As we cannot resist the law of physics, we cannot resist the law of God. Physics is a difficult area of study. However, the study of the law of God is more difficult since it includes both physical and spiritual realms. Since the spiritual aspects are invisible, they are hard to study. However, the factual stories written by the author are helpful to understand the difficult material.
The author includes the law of order in this volume 3 since it is a fundamental and essential concept. The law of order teaches about who are the key individuals in the family, society, and so on. Knowledge helps us to act appropriately and respectfully. The law is one of the factors that influence our fate. Wrong actions harm one’s fate. For example, children need to respect their parents in general. If not, the family will become corrupt.
Courtesy and Purification
An opportunity is introduced for people who study the law of Gods to receive the training of learning to offer courtesy to Gods and purification in the shrine. After a person attends some lectures, priests then give approval to receive the training. In the training, we practice the law of order. Learning proper courtesy and purification changes our karma in a good way.
