Ryuho Okawa:
"Throughout history, humanity has sought the answers to life's greatest questions: What is the nature of love? How does the mind shape reality? What is the purpose of the soul’s journey? What laws govern the universe? And how can we manifest a better world through higher consciousness?
In this series of profound conversations, I have invited some of the greatest spiritual leaders, philosophers, and thinkers of all time to discuss these eternal truths. Each of them, in their own way, has shaped the course of history, elevating human consciousness through wisdom, compassion, and enlightenment.
From Jesus Christ’s message of unconditional love to Buddha’s path to liberation, from Gandhi’s nonviolent truth to Nelson Mandela’s vision of unity, these voices have resonated across time and space, guiding humanity toward a higher destiny. We will also hear from modern minds like Ken Wilber and Wayne Dyer, who integrate spirituality with psychology and science, and ancient masters like Laozi and Zarathustra, who taught us the cosmic principles of balance and justice.
These imaginary conversations are not just philosophical discussions—they are blueprints for personal and collective transformation. As you engage with these dialogues, I invite you to reflect deeply, open your heart, and apply these teachings to your daily life.
The time for awakening is now. The universe is calling us to rise above fear and division and step into a higher state of being. Let us embark on this journey together, as seekers of truth and bearers of light."

The Nature of Love and Compassion as the Foundation of Spiritual Growth

Participants:
- Nick Sasaki (Moderator) – Entrepreneur, thought leader, and spiritual seeker
- Ryuho Okawa – Founder of Happy Science, teacher of love and spiritual truth
- Rev. Sun Myung Moon – Advocate of true love and living for the sake of others
- Mother Teresa – Devoted her life to serving the poor with love
- Dalai Lama – Spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, teaching compassion and inner peace
- Jesus Christ – Embodiment of divine love and salvation
Opening by Nick Sasaki:
"Love is the most powerful force in the universe, yet it is often misunderstood. Some see love as an emotion, others as a duty, and still others as a fleeting moment. But true love—divine love—transforms individuals, communities, and even nations. Today, we are honored to hear from some of the greatest spiritual leaders in history about what love truly is, how we can embody it in our lives, and how love is the key to spiritual enlightenment.
Let’s begin with Ryuho Okawa. What is the nature of love, and why is it so central to human existence?"
Ryuho Okawa:
"Love is the foundation of all existence. It is the energy that sustains the universe, the force that connects us to one another and to the divine. Many people think of love as something to receive, but love is truly about giving. The highest form of love expects nothing in return.
There are different stages of love: first, love that is dependent on others; second, love that is about mutual exchange; and finally, the highest form of love—divine love—which flows unconditionally.
In this world, people often suffer because they seek love from others without first cultivating love within themselves. If you want to be loved, you must first give love. Love is an infinite source, and the more you give, the more it flows through you. But it must be given freely, without attachment.
Love means praying for the happiness of all beings, even those who have harmed you. It means seeing the divine light in every person and serving them as an expression of that love. Love is not a passive feeling—it is an action, a commitment, and a way of life."
Nick Sasaki:
"That is a profound insight, Okawa-san. Love is something that must be cultivated and given, not just received.
Rev. Moon, you have spoken about the idea of true love and how it can unite humanity. How does your vision of true love align with what we have just heard?"
Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
"True love is to live for the sake of others. The world today is filled with self-centered love—people love only when it benefits them, when it makes them feel good. But parental love, the love of God, is different. Parents love their children without expecting anything in return. This is the model of divine love.
If we extend that heart of a parent—not just to our families but to all humanity—then we begin to build a world of peace.
Love is not just an emotion; it is a responsibility. It is action, sacrifice, and dedication. If we love only those who love us, what merit is there in that? True love means embracing even those who oppose you. This is why forgiveness is essential—love cannot grow where resentment exists.
If you want to change the world, start by changing yourself. Love those around you. If every family practiced true love, there would be no war, no division, no hatred. The family is the school of love, and when love spreads from there, it creates harmony in the world."
Nick Sasaki:
"You emphasize love as an action, not just a feeling. That is something many struggle with—how to practice love in daily life, especially in difficult circumstances.
Mother Teresa, you devoted your life to loving the poorest of the poor. How did you see love in action?"
Mother Teresa:
"Love is not about words—it is about action. Love is found in the smallest things, in a smile, in listening, in a touch.
Many people think they need to do something grand to express love, but that is not true. Love is in the small things done with great love.
I have seen the greatest suffering, the deepest loneliness. But what people hunger for most is not food—it is love. The greatest poverty is the poverty of love. When people feel unloved, they suffer more than from any physical pain.
To love is to give, to serve, to be present. If you cannot feed a hundred people, then feed just one. If you cannot heal the whole world, then heal the heart of one person.
Love is practical. It is washing the wounds of the sick, it is holding the hand of the dying, it is being there for those who have no one. Love does not wait—it acts."
Nick Sasaki:
"That is such a powerful reminder that love is not always grand—it is in the everyday moments.
Dalai Lama, you teach about compassion as the highest form of love. How does compassion differ from other forms of love?"
Dalai Lama:
"Compassion is love that is free from attachment. When we love only those who are close to us, that is a limited love. True compassion extends beyond family, beyond friends—it reaches all sentient beings.
Many people confuse love with attachment. They think, ‘I love this person, so they must stay with me,’ or ‘I love this person, so they must act as I want.’ This is not true love; it is possessiveness.
Compassion means wanting others to be happy, even if it does not benefit you personally. It is the understanding that all beings suffer and the wish to ease that suffering.
A person who practices true compassion does not say, ‘I will love you if you love me.’ They say, ‘I will love you because I see the divine in you, because your happiness is my happiness.’
This is why even our enemies deserve compassion. If someone harms you, it is because they are suffering inside. If we respond with anger, we only create more suffering. But if we respond with compassion, we begin the process of healing."
Nick Sasaki:
"That is a profound teaching. It takes great strength to love even when faced with opposition.
Jesus, your life was the ultimate example of sacrificial love. What is your message on love for us today?"
Jesus Christ:
"Love is the greatest commandment. Love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself.
But I also tell you: Love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you. If you love only those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the worst of men love their friends. But to love those who harm you—that is divine love.
True love forgives. True love does not keep a record of wrongs. When I was on the cross, I did not curse those who crucified me—I prayed, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’
Love is not weak; love is the strongest force in existence. Love conquers hate, love heals wounds, love brings light into darkness.
If you wish to know God, then love as God loves—without condition, without limit, without fear."
Nick Sasaki:
"This conversation has been filled with wisdom. Before we conclude, I ask each of you: What is one final message about love?"
- Ryuho Okawa: "Love is infinite. The more you give, the more it flows through you."
- Rev. Sun Myung Moon: "Love is responsibility—live for others, and you will find true peace."
- Mother Teresa: "Do small things with great love."
- Dalai Lama: "Love is the path to true happiness."
- Jesus Christ: "Love is the way, the truth, and the life."
Closing by Nick Sasaki:
"Thank you all. Love is not just a feeling—it is action, sacrifice, and the key to spiritual transformation. May we all walk this path of love together."
The Power of Mind and Self-Reflection in Shaping Reality

Participants:
- Nick Sasaki (Moderator) – Entrepreneur, thought leader, and spiritual seeker
- Ryuho Okawa – Founder of Happy Science, teacher of spiritual enlightenment
- Eckhart Tolle – Advocate of present-moment awareness and mindfulness
- Joe Dispenza – Expert on neuroscience, quantum physics, and the power of thought
- Carl Jung – Pioneer of analytical psychology and the collective unconscious
- Deepak Chopra – Mind-body healing expert, exploring the intersection of science and spirituality
Opening by Nick Sasaki:
"The human mind is one of the most powerful forces in existence, shaping not only our individual lives but also the world around us. Science, psychology, and spirituality all point to one fundamental truth: our thoughts create reality. But many people struggle with negativity, fear, and limiting beliefs. Today, we will explore how we can master the mind, break free from suffering, and elevate consciousness.
I’d like to start with Ryuho Okawa. Okawa-san, how do you see the role of the mind in shaping reality?"
Ryuho Okawa:
"The mind is the bridge between the physical and the spiritual worlds. Every thought carries energy, and that energy shapes your reality. If you fill your mind with light, you create a life of happiness, success, and fulfillment. If you let darkness into your mind—fear, anger, doubt—you will create suffering.
The greatest secret of life is that your external circumstances are a reflection of your inner world. This is why self-reflection is so important. Many people blame the world for their problems, but the truth is, change must start within. If you want a better life, first purify your mind.
Spiritual awakening begins when you realize that you are not just a body; you are a being of light, a soul that can transcend any obstacle. Meditation, prayer, and positive thinking are not just practices—they are tools to reshape your destiny. The universe responds to the energy of your mind, so choose your thoughts wisely."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s a powerful perspective—our thoughts don’t just exist in our heads; they shape our entire experience.
Eckhart Tolle, you emphasize present-moment awareness. How does being present affect the mind’s ability to shape reality?"
Eckhart Tolle:
"Most people live trapped in their minds—either reliving the past or anxiously anticipating the future. But the only reality is now. When you become fully present, you free yourself from the illusions of time and the suffering caused by your own thoughts.
The mind, when uncontrolled, is like a wild animal—it creates chaos. But when you learn to observe your thoughts without attachment, you gain mastery over them. You realize that you are not your thoughts; you are the awareness behind them.
True power comes from stillness. In stillness, you tap into the infinite intelligence of the universe. In stillness, creativity flows, healing happens, and fear dissolves. If you want to transform your life, start by simply being present in this moment, fully aware."
Nick Sasaki:
"That makes sense—when we are too caught up in thoughts, we lose sight of reality itself.
Joe Dispenza, you study the neuroscience behind how thoughts shape our physical world. What does science tell us about the power of the mind?"
Joe Dispenza:
"Science has proven that the mind is not just a passive observer—it is a creator. Every thought you think sends electrical signals in the brain, and repeated thoughts create neural pathways that shape your habits, emotions, and even your physical health.
Your body does not know the difference between a thought and reality. If you constantly think about stress, your body releases stress hormones as if you are in danger. But if you intentionally think about joy, gratitude, and success, your body will respond by creating biochemical conditions for happiness and healing.
This is why visualization works. If you repeatedly imagine yourself achieving a goal, your brain starts wiring itself for that reality. You don’t just change your mind—you change your biology. By focusing on what you want instead of what you fear, you rewire your brain to attract the life you desire."
Nick Sasaki:
"So, our thoughts literally program our brains and bodies. That’s fascinating!
Carl Jung, your work on the unconscious mind suggests that much of our reality is shaped by hidden patterns. How does the unconscious mind influence our daily lives?"
Carl Jung:
"The unconscious mind is far more powerful than most people realize. It contains all of your repressed thoughts, emotions, and past experiences—both personal and collective. If you do not explore and integrate these hidden aspects of yourself, they control you from the shadows.
Many people live according to unconscious scripts—they repeat the same mistakes, attract the same types of relationships, and struggle with the same fears. They believe they are making conscious choices, but in reality, they are being guided by forces they do not understand.
The key to transformation is self-reflection. You must become aware of your inner world. Ask yourself: What are my deepest fears? What beliefs have I inherited from my family and society? What patterns keep repeating in my life? When you bring these hidden truths into the light, you gain the power to change them.
Your mind is like an iceberg—what is visible is only a fraction of what truly exists. Enlightenment comes when you explore the depths of your being and integrate all aspects of yourself."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s profound—so much of what controls us is beneath the surface.
Deepak Chopra, you bring both scientific and spiritual perspectives together. How do you see the mind’s role in shaping reality?"
Deepak Chopra:
"Reality is not as fixed as people believe. Modern physics has shown that the universe is made of energy and information, and consciousness plays a role in shaping that energy.
Your mind is like a tuning fork—it vibrates at a certain frequency, and that frequency attracts similar experiences. If your mind is full of fear, you will experience a fearful world. If your mind is full of love, you will experience a loving world.
The most important thing to understand is that you are not just your mind—you are the awareness that exists beyond thought. Meditation, mindfulness, and self-reflection help you connect with that higher awareness, where all possibilities exist.
You are not a victim of reality—you are a co-creator of it. Choose your thoughts carefully, because they are planting the seeds of your future."
Nick Sasaki:
"This has been an incredible discussion. Before we close, I’d like each of you to share one final thought on how people can harness the power of their minds for a better life."
- Ryuho Okawa: "Your thoughts shape your destiny. Master your mind, and you master your life."
- Eckhart Tolle: "Be present. In stillness, all answers come."
- Joe Dispenza: "Rewire your brain by focusing on what you want, not what you fear."
- Carl Jung: "Know yourself. The key to freedom lies in understanding the unconscious mind."
- Deepak Chopra: "You are pure awareness. When you realize this, you unlock infinite potential."
Closing by Nick Sasaki:
"Thank you all. The mind is a powerful tool—it can either enslave us or set us free. Through self-awareness, discipline, and intentional thinking, we can shape not only our own lives but the world around us. Let us all strive to cultivate thoughts of love, peace, and possibility.
The Eternal Journey of the Soul and the Purpose of Life

Participants:
- Nick Sasaki (Moderator) – Entrepreneur, thought leader, and spiritual seeker
- Ryuho Okawa – Founder of Happy Science, teacher of spiritual enlightenment
- Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) – Teacher of enlightenment and liberation from suffering
- Paramahansa Yogananda – Introduced Eastern spirituality and reincarnation to the West
- Ken Wilber – Philosopher integrating science, spirituality, and consciousness evolution
- Dogen Zenji – Founder of Soto Zen Buddhism, emphasizing self-reflection and practice
Opening by Nick Sasaki:
"Life is full of mysteries, but perhaps the greatest question of all is: What happens after we die? Is the soul eternal? And if so, what is the purpose of our existence? Many people seek answers to these questions, and today, we have some of the greatest spiritual minds to help us explore them.
Let’s begin with Ryuho Okawa. Okawa-san, what is your understanding of the soul’s journey?"
Ryuho Okawa:
"The soul is eternal. It does not begin with birth, nor does it end with death. The physical body is only a temporary vessel—the true self is the spiritual being that exists beyond time and space.
Life on Earth is a school for the soul. Each lifetime is an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to elevate our consciousness. Some people live many lifetimes before reaching enlightenment, while others awaken quickly. But in every case, our experiences shape the evolution of our soul.
Reincarnation is not random; it follows the law of spiritual cause and effect. The thoughts, actions, and choices we make in one life create the conditions for our next. This is why it is important to live virtuously—to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and self-awareness.
If we understand that life is a journey of the soul, we will no longer fear death. Instead, we will focus on our spiritual growth and our contributions to humanity. The soul’s journey is endless, and our purpose is to keep moving toward the light."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s a fascinating perspective—life as a school for the soul, where we continue learning across lifetimes.
Buddha, you taught about the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. What did you discover about the soul’s journey?"
Buddha:
"Life is suffering, and suffering is caused by attachment. People become attached to their identities, their desires, their emotions—but all of these things are impermanent. When the body dies, the soul does not disappear; it carries its karma into the next existence.
But the ultimate goal is not to continue being reborn—it is to break free from the cycle of birth and death, known as samsara. This is achieved through enlightenment, which comes when one realizes that the self is an illusion. There is no separate, individual ‘I’—only the infinite nature of existence.
To escape suffering, one must practice wisdom, ethical living, and deep meditation. When the mind is fully purified, one reaches Nirvana—a state beyond suffering, beyond birth and death. At this stage, the soul merges with the ultimate reality, free from all illusions."
Nick Sasaki:
"So, in your view, the soul's ultimate goal is liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
Paramahansa Yogananda, you spoke about reincarnation in your teachings. How does your understanding compare?"
Paramahansa Yogananda:
"The soul is an immortal spark of God, temporarily inhabiting a human body. It reincarnates again and again, refining itself until it reaches divine realization. But liberation does not mean extinction—it means union with the infinite.
Each life we live is like a chapter in a great book. Some people remember their past lives, and they carry over skills, wisdom, and even unfinished karma. But the ultimate goal is to remember who we truly are—not just as humans, but as divine beings.
Through meditation, we can transcend the illusion of the material world and experience our true nature. The more we attune ourselves to God-consciousness, the less we are bound by earthly limitations. Eventually, the fully awakened soul merges back with the Divine, experiencing eternal bliss and freedom."
Nick Sasaki:
"It seems that whether we call it Nirvana or union with the Divine, there is a common theme of transcendence.
Ken Wilber, you explore the evolution of consciousness. How do you see the soul’s journey in the context of human development?"
Ken Wilber:
"Consciousness is evolving, both individually and collectively. The journey of the soul is not just about personal enlightenment—it is about the expansion of awareness across the universe.
Every person moves through stages of consciousness. At lower levels, people see the world in black and white, driven by ego and survival instincts. But as they grow, they develop greater empathy, wisdom, and spiritual awareness. The highest level of consciousness is non-duality—where one realizes that all things are connected, and there is no separation between the self and the universe.
Many traditions speak of reincarnation, but we must also consider that souls are part of a vast evolutionary process. Our individual awakening contributes to the awakening of the whole. The more people who reach enlightenment, the more we shift the collective consciousness of humanity."
Nick Sasaki:
"So, the soul is not only evolving personally but also contributing to a greater, universal evolution.
Dogen Zenji, as a Zen Buddhist master, how do you view the soul and its journey?"
Dogen Zenji:
"Many people ask about the soul, but I tell them: Do not seek it elsewhere—look within. The soul is not something that exists far away or in the future; it is here, in this very moment.
Life and death are part of the same stream. There is no need to fear death, for it is simply a transition. When one is fully present, fully engaged in the practice of meditation and mindfulness, there is no past, no future—only now.
The mistake people make is searching for enlightenment as if it is somewhere else. But enlightenment is not a destination—it is how you walk the path. Every moment you live with awareness, you are already free. The soul does not need to travel anywhere; it only needs to wake up."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s a profound perspective—the journey is not outside of us, but within.
Before we close, let’s go around and share one final insight on the eternal nature of the soul and the purpose of life."
- Ryuho Okawa: "The soul is on an infinite journey of learning and enlightenment. Live each life with wisdom and love, and you will continue to grow."
- Buddha: "Suffering comes from attachment. Free yourself from illusions, and you will find true peace."
- Paramahansa Yogananda: "Meditate, seek God, and remember that your soul is divine. This is the key to liberation."
- Ken Wilber: "Your awakening contributes to the awakening of the universe. Seek higher consciousness, and you uplift all beings."
- Dogen Zenji: "Do not look for the soul in the future—experience it now, in every breath, in every moment."
Closing by Nick Sasaki:
"This has been an enlightening discussion. Whether we call it the soul, consciousness, or divine energy, it is clear that life is not just about material existence—it is about growth, awakening, and our connection to something greater.
Let us all walk this path with mindfulness, seeking wisdom, and living each moment as a step toward enlightenment."
The Laws of the Universe and the Path to Enlightenment

Participants:
- Nick Sasaki (Moderator) – Entrepreneur, thought leader, and spiritual seeker
- Ryuho Okawa – Founder of Happy Science, teacher of spiritual enlightenment
- Laozi (Lao Tzu) – Founder of Taoism, emphasizing harmony with the Tao
- Thich Nhat Hanh – Zen Buddhist master, known for mindfulness and interbeing
- Wayne Dyer – Spiritual teacher who taught the power of intention and higher consciousness
- Zarathustra – Ancient Persian prophet who introduced the concept of divine justice and cosmic duality
Opening by Nick Sasaki:
"The universe is governed by invisible laws—whether we call them karma, the Tao, or the law of attraction, these principles shape our lives and our spiritual journey. Yet, many people live unaware of these laws, feeling lost, disconnected, or trapped by their circumstances.
Today, we are joined by some of the greatest minds to explore these universal truths and how we can align with them for a life of peace, wisdom, and enlightenment.
Okawa-san, let’s start with you. What are the most fundamental laws of the universe?"
Ryuho Okawa:
"The universe operates under spiritual laws, and the most important of these is the Law of Cause and Effect. Every thought, word, and action generates an energy that returns to us. If you plant seeds of kindness, love, and wisdom, you will receive blessings. If you plant seeds of hatred, greed, and deception, suffering will follow.
Another fundamental law is the Law of Attraction—what you focus on expands. Your mind is like a magnet, drawing experiences that match your inner state. If you cultivate positive thoughts, you attract positive outcomes. If you dwell in negativity, you create more obstacles.
Finally, the Law of Spiritual Evolution states that our purpose is to grow, to refine our souls, and to move closer to enlightenment. The challenges we face in life are not punishments but lessons designed to elevate our consciousness. By understanding and aligning with these laws, we create a life of harmony and progress."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s a powerful perspective—our thoughts and actions shape our destiny.
Laozi, you taught about the Tao, the Way of the Universe. How does your teaching align with these spiritual laws?"
Laozi:
"The Tao is the natural order of all things. It flows effortlessly, like water moving through a riverbed. The greatest mistake people make is trying to control life, forcing things to happen instead of allowing them to unfold naturally.
One of the highest laws is Wu Wei—the principle of effortless action. This does not mean inaction, but rather working with the flow of life instead of against it. If you align with the Tao, life becomes smooth. If you resist, you create suffering.
The Tao teaches us that all things are connected. Just as a tree does not struggle to grow, but simply follows the seasons, we too must trust the rhythm of the universe. The enlightened one does not cling to desires or fears—he moves with life, not against it."
Nick Sasaki:
"That reminds me of the idea of surrender—not in a passive sense, but in trusting the wisdom of the universe.
Thich Nhat Hanh, you emphasize mindfulness and interbeing. How do these relate to the universal laws?"
Thich Nhat Hanh:
"Mindfulness is the key to understanding universal laws. Many people suffer because they are not aware—they react to life instead of living with intention.
The law of Interbeing teaches that nothing exists independently. Your happiness is not separate from the happiness of others. Your suffering is not separate from the suffering of the world. When we live with awareness, we begin to see how every action we take creates ripples throughout the universe.
The law of Impermanence reminds us that nothing stays the same—joy and sorrow, success and failure, life and death—all things change. If you cling to what is temporary, you will suffer. But if you embrace impermanence, you will find peace in every moment."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s such a deep truth—most suffering comes from resisting change instead of accepting it.
Wayne Dyer, you spoke about the power of intention. How do our thoughts and intentions shape reality?"
Wayne Dyer:
"The universe does not respond to what you want—it responds to what you are. If you want love, be love. If you want abundance, cultivate an abundance mindset.
The Law of Intention states that what you focus on expands. Your thoughts are not just ideas; they are energy fields that shape your experiences. If you constantly think, ‘I am unlucky,’ you will create circumstances that prove you right. But if you affirm, ‘I am blessed, I am capable, I am loved,’ you shift your energy to attract positive outcomes.
Another powerful law is Alignment—you must act in accordance with your highest self. It is not enough to wish for success; you must live as if you already embody it. The moment you align your thoughts, words, and actions, the universe moves to support you."
Nick Sasaki:
"So, our beliefs and actions must match our intentions—otherwise, we create resistance.
Zarathustra, you introduced the idea of divine justice. How does the universe ensure balance and fairness?"
Zarathustra:
"The universe operates on the law of Asha, the divine truth that ensures justice prevails. Every thought, word, and action carries a moral weight, and nothing escapes the eye of the Divine.
The battle between good and evil is not just an external one—it is within us. Those who choose truth, righteousness, and service will ascend spiritually, while those who choose deception and selfishness will experience spiritual decline.
The law of Divine Reciprocity states that whatever you send into the world will return to you. If you harm others, you harm yourself. If you uplift others, you uplift yourself. The universe keeps perfect balance. There is no escape from justice, but there is always a path to redemption."
Nick Sasaki:
"It’s reassuring to know that the universe operates with justice, even if it is not always immediately visible.
Now, let’s bring all of this together—if someone wanted to align with these laws, what practical steps can they take in their daily lives?"
- Ryuho Okawa: "Practice self-reflection. Purify your mind, cultivate virtue, and take full responsibility for your life."
- Laozi: "Let go of control. Trust the Tao, and let life flow naturally."
- Thich Nhat Hanh: "Be mindful. Live each moment with awareness, kindness, and gratitude."
- Wayne Dyer: "Choose your thoughts wisely. Focus on abundance, joy, and purpose, and the universe will respond."
- Zarathustra: "Live truthfully. Align with goodness, and divine justice will always guide your path."
Closing by Nick Sasaki:
"This discussion has revealed that the universe is not random—it operates with wisdom, balance, and purpose. Whether through karma, the Tao, mindfulness, intention, or divine justice, we each have the power to align with these laws and create a life of peace, joy, and enlightenment.
Let us all walk with awareness, choosing love over fear, truth over deception, and harmony over resistance."
Manifesting a Better World Through Higher Consciousness

Participants:
- Nick Sasaki (Moderator) – Entrepreneur, thought leader, and spiritual seeker
- Ryuho Okawa – Founder of Happy Science, teacher of spiritual enlightenment
- Nelson Mandela – Advocate for peace, unity, and forgiveness in the face of oppression
- Mahatma Gandhi – Leader of nonviolent resistance, emphasizing truth and moral strength
- Jesus Christ – Embodiment of divine love and sacrifice for humanity’s salvation
- Saito Hitori – Japanese entrepreneur and spiritual teacher promoting happiness and prosperity
Opening by Nick Sasaki:
"Throughout history, humanity has faced division, suffering, and conflict. Yet, visionaries and spiritual leaders have always pointed to a higher way—a world built on love, unity, and enlightenment.
Today, we will explore how we can raise consciousness, break free from negativity, and manifest a better world. We are honored to be joined by some of the greatest leaders of peace, wisdom, and transformation.
Let’s begin with Ryuho Okawa. Okawa-san, how can humanity manifest a higher reality?"
Ryuho Okawa:
"Humanity’s reality is shaped by collective consciousness. If people fill their minds with fear, hatred, and division, the world reflects those energies. But if we elevate our consciousness—choosing love, wisdom, and service—humanity will evolve into a higher state of existence.
The key to manifesting a better world lies in enlightened leadership. Leaders must cultivate spiritual wisdom, not just political or economic power. They must guide others with love, fairness, and vision.
Another essential principle is personal responsibility. Many people wait for the world to change, but true transformation starts within. Each person must take responsibility for their thoughts, actions, and influence. By living with integrity, we inspire those around us to do the same.
Finally, we must embrace spiritual unity. Beyond race, religion, and nationality, we are all divine beings on the same journey. The more we recognize this, the more we will create a world of peace and harmony."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s a profound way to start—realizing that the world is simply a reflection of our collective consciousness.
Nelson Mandela, you turned oppression into an opportunity for unity. What was the key to transforming society through higher consciousness?"
Nelson Mandela:
"Forgiveness is the highest form of strength. When I was in prison for 27 years, I had every reason to hate. But I realized that hatred would not free me—it would only imprison me further.
To change the world, you must see beyond the past and focus on what is possible. People often ask how I forgave those who oppressed me. My answer is simple: You do not build peace through revenge. You build peace through reconciliation.
A better world is possible only when we stop seeing enemies and start seeing brothers and sisters. We must teach our children not just history, but also the power of unity and compassion. Only then can we create a future that is free from the chains of the past."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s so powerful—peace begins when we let go of resentment.
Gandhi, you led a revolution without violence. How does nonviolence lead to higher consciousness?"
Mahatma Gandhi:
"Nonviolence, or Ahimsa, is not just the absence of violence—it is a force of truth and love. It requires great discipline and inner strength.
The world suffers because people believe that power comes from control, from domination. But real power comes from truth and moral courage. When we refuse to meet hate with hate, we break the cycle of suffering.
Higher consciousness begins when we see every human being as sacred. My greatest teaching is simple: Be the change you wish to see in the world. Do not wait for leaders or governments to create a better world—start within yourself. If you live truthfully, others will follow."
Nick Sasaki:
"That reminds me that true change begins at the level of the individual.
Jesus, your life was the ultimate example of divine love. How does love transform the world?"
Jesus Christ:
"Love is the greatest commandment. Love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself. But I also tell you this: Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.
The world is filled with suffering because people choose fear over love, selfishness over service. But love has the power to heal all wounds.
When I walked among the people, I did not seek power, nor did I ask for anything in return. I gave freely, healed freely, forgave freely. This is the path of the highest consciousness—the path of selfless love.
To manifest a better world, you must see God in everyone. When you look into the eyes of a stranger, a beggar, even an enemy, see the divine spark within them. Only then can you truly love without condition. And where there is love, there is God."
Nick Sasaki:
"That is such a deep truth—when we love unconditionally, we create heaven on Earth.
Saito Hitori, you teach about happiness and prosperity. How does personal happiness contribute to creating a better world?"
Saito Hitori:
"A happy world is made up of happy people. But most people block their own happiness—they worry, complain, and live in fear.
Happiness is a choice. Every day, you can wake up and say, ‘I’m lucky today!’ And when you do, you create a lucky, joyful reality. Your words shape your energy, and your energy attracts your future.
People think money and success are separate from spirituality, but that’s not true. Money is just energy. If you use it with love—to help others, to spread joy—it becomes a tool for good. But if you use it selfishly, it creates suffering.
If you want to change the world, start by making yourself happy. Smile. Speak words of kindness. Treat others with respect. A world full of happy, kind people will naturally become a world of peace and abundance."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s an uplifting message—true transformation starts with individual happiness.
Now, let’s bring everything together. Each of you has spoken about different aspects of creating a better world—love, forgiveness, truth, peace, happiness. If someone wanted to start making a difference today, what is the first step they should take?"
- Ryuho Okawa: "Raise your consciousness. The world changes when individuals awaken to their divine potential."
- Nelson Mandela: "Forgive. Release the past, and open your heart to unity."
- Mahatma Gandhi: "Live the truth. Be the example of the world you want to see."
- Jesus Christ: "Love without condition. Love is the path to salvation."
- Saito Hitori: "Be happy today! When you shine, you make the world brighter."
Closing by Nick Sasaki:
"This discussion has been filled with wisdom. Each of you has shown that a better world is not just a dream—it is something we create through our daily thoughts, actions, and choices.
Let us all strive to live with higher consciousness, to forgive, to love, to spread happiness, and to be the light that transforms humanity.
Thank you all for sharing your insights. May we all walk this path together."
