Book Review: Solon, a Messenger of Wonder and Mystery
The author explains mysterious occurrences from a spiritual perspective. There are various mysteries that the physical sciences cannot completely explain. And, in the book’s preface, the author states that the universe is full of wonders and mysteries, as are humans. This introduction, as well as the title of the book “a messenger of wonder and mystery”, indicates that the author intends to teach the reader about mystery.
Soul and Emotion of Tree
One of mysteries is a soul. According to scientific research, plants can sense their environment. The author mentions that plants, like people and animals, have souls from a spiritual science standpoint. Furthermore, he notes that an old tree has been generating oxygen for many years, which benefits others in the world. It represents that the tree has positive karma and immaterial positive assets, which develop as a consequence of helping others. It signifies that the tree’s positive karma has increased because of helping others. The author explains the consequences of hurting such a tree that embodies positive karma. As a result, tree cutting affects not only the physical tree but also its soul having positive karma and immaterial assets. The author covers how it has a big impact on our life.
In fact, there are several large trees in the world that have been tried to be cut down, and the people involved in cutting them down have had accidents or died and have left the place as it was because they think they have been cursed by the tree.
If we are unaware of the presence of the tree’s soul, we may hurt a tree unintentionally. It will still have a negative consequence. This book will teach us about the effects of cutting and what we should do if we need to cut a tree down as well.
Medium
Another mystery is regarding mediums. There is a real-life story of a Japanese medium, Chonan Toshie. She prayed to God to give her water to heal ill people, and many people recovered by drinking the miraculous water. She was even placed on trial for suspected fraud, but the court freed her when she revealed the miraculous water in court. As the miracle was able to be verified even in court, a place of careful evaluation, we can conclude that there are mysterious things in this world that cannot be explained just by physical science.
