【The Limits of Darwinism】

🌟The Far-Reaching Impact of Darwin's Theory of Evolution

When Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, it sent shockwaves through the intellectual world. Many believed that the long-standing mystery of human origins had finally been solved. Darwin’s theory went far beyond the boundaries of biology, profoundly shaping religion, philosophy, and political thought. Some even compared its impact to the scientific revolution brought about by the heliocentric model in the 18th century.

Today, Darwin’s theory—further reinforced by developments in genetics—is widely accepted as scientific orthodoxy. Yet, some fundamental questions remain unanswered: Why do fully formed species appear without evident transitional forms? Where are the so-called "missing links" in the evolutionary chain?

Although still a hypothesis, Darwinism began to shape social and political ideologies. Karl Marx famously praised the theory, believing it validated his materialist worldview. The idea of “survival of the fittest” also fueled concepts of racial superiority and discriminatory practices, eventually influencing N**i ideology and the eugenics movement. In such a framework, human beings are reduced to mere physical entities—devoid of spiritual essence or intrinsic value.

Master Ryuho Okawa writes:

“Darwin’s materialistic theory of evolution made Marx ecstatic. It provided the ideological foundation for communism and socialism, which eventually spread across the globe. Nietzsche proclaimed, ‘God is dead,’ and in His absence, elevated the concept of the ‘superman’—a notion that ultimately paved the way for Hi**er.

Now, 150 years later, it is time to expose the root cause of the spiritual decay in modern education. This cancer lies deep within the legacy of Darwinism.” — The Truth About Evolution After 150 Years

Through such analogies, Master Okawa underscores the implausibility of complex biological systems arising without intention or design—challenging the foundations of materialistic evolution.

🌟Darwin’s Fundamental Error: The Legitimization of Materialism

Darwin’s greatest mistake was granting scientific legitimacy to materialism. By portraying human beings as accidental byproducts of evolution from simple life forms like amoebas, he distorted the true nature of humanity. In doing so, he reduced the human experience to a random sequence of physical developments, devoid of spiritual significance.

Richard Dawkins and the Rise of DNA-Based Materialism

In recent decades, biologist Richard Dawkins has advanced this materialistic perspective with works such as The Selfish Gene, in which he argues that the essence of human life—and even the soul—is reducible to DNA. His views have not only reinforced materialism within scientific circles but have also fueled the rise of modern atheism, further distancing science from any notion of spiritual or metaphysical truth.

Master Okawa, however, offers a compelling counterargument:

“Regardless of whether you know about DNA or not, you cannot explain how a mechanism where humans bear babies, who then grow into adults, had long been established.”
— The Laws of Justice, p. 83–84

“So much of evolutionary theory boils down to explanations like, ‘It all just happened by chance.’”

In another stark illustration,Master Okawawrites:

“Saying that amoebas became human is like saying you sprinkled iron sand on the ground, left it there, and before you knew it, it turned into a computer. It’s quite ridiculous.”
— The Truth About Earth, the Universe,the spiritual world P.21

🌟The Forgotten Evolutionist – Alfred Russel Wallace

Few people know that Charles Darwin was not the sole originator of the theory of evolution. A young naturalist named Alfred Russel Wallace independently arrived at a similar conclusion—possibly even before Darwin made his ideas public.

When Darwin read Wallace’s manuscript, he was reportedly stunned. Here was a clear articulation of a theory he had spent years developing. At the urging of mutual colleagues, both men presented their theories jointly. Yet over time, Darwin’s name eclipsed Wallace’s in the public consciousness.

One key reason for this erasure lies in Wallace’s spiritual beliefs. Unlike Darwin, Wallace was a committed spiritualist, a position that clashed with the increasingly materialistic outlook of the scientific establishment. His openness to the spiritual dimension led many in the scientific community to dismiss his work—pushing him into relative obscurity.

Master Okawa writes:

“Few people know that the theory of evolution had two parents: Darwin and Wallace. Had evolution been known through Wallace—who believed in both spiritualism and science—we might never have had the Soviet Union or modern-day China.” — The Truth About Evolution After 150 Years

In this statement, Master Okawa highlights how the path of modern history might have diverged had Wallace’s spiritually-inclined interpretation of evolution gained prominence over Darwin’s materialistic view. The dominance of Darwinism, stripped of spiritual context, laid the ideological groundwork for atheistic regimes and the suppression of religious and moral values in society.

The Forgotten Evolutionist – Alfred Russel Wallace

🌟Toward a New Science That Embraces Faith

Today, an alternative to Darwinism is gaining attention: Intelligent Design (ID) theory. Grounded in mathematics and probability, ID argues that life could not have emerged from inanimate matter by mere chance. Instead, some form of higher intelligence must have been at work.

Master Okawa affirms this idea:

“Every living thing exists with a clear purpose. You can see traces of design in all of creation.”

“If there was a blueprint, then someone must have drawn it. Who created the design that allows humans to live and function as we do? Certainly not dust blown by the wind.”

He goes on to challenge the plausibility of materialist explanations:

“The idea that proteins randomly formed in the primordial sea and evolved into humans is simply too much of a leap. The early Earth was a blazing, volcanic world—not a place where life could spontaneously arise.”

Even if bacteria had arrived on a meteorite from outer space, he argues, it is implausible to believe such primitive organisms could, through chance alone, evolve into complex beings like modern humans.

Thus, even if we acknowledge that some degree of evolution may have occurred, it must have happened under the guidance of purpose and intelligence. There must be a designer—a spiritual source behind it all.

🌟 Darwin’s Doubt and the End of Materialism

Darwin himself had studied theology in his youth. But after the tragic death of his 10-year-old daughter Anne, he turned toward agnosticism. This deep spiritual loss planted the seed of doubt that eventually grew into a theory that would shape generations.

According to spiritual testimony, Darwin is now said to reside in the “Abysmal Hell” in the spirit world—a realm of reflection, meant to prevent others from being misled by his materialistic ideas.

Master Okawa explains:

“Darwin was not necessarily a bad man, but within his ideas lay dangerous seeds. What they later produced—the denial of God—was no accident. He bears responsibility for that.”

He adds:

“In order for Darwin to be saved, someone must appear to overturn his theory. If he has merit, a soul friend will rise to do exactly that.”— The Truth About Earth, the Universe,the spiritual world P.79

✨Spiritual Turning Point for Civilization

Following the 9/11 tragedy, Richard Dawkins published The God Delusion, blaming religion for much of humanity’s suffering. But has atheism fared any better? In its wake, haven’t we seen dictators who trample human rights in the name of reason and ideology?

In contrast, Master Okawa looked upon the same tragedy and came to a different conclusion:

“That’s why we need a new religion—one that reveals the true will of Heaven.”

He writes:

“The conflict we saw was rooted in outdated religions—Christianity and Islam—whose doctrines were born in different eras. In today’s interconnected world, their contradictions have become flashpoints of hatred. What we need now is innovation in the religious world—a spiritual renaissance.”— The Laws of Justice, p. 55

“A future society must pursue scientific and technological progress based on belief in the spirit world and the reincarnation of the soul.”—The Laws of Prosperity (English translation is coming in the near future)

✨Are you here by chance? Or were you created with a divine purpose?

As the cracks in Darwinism become increasingly evident, humanity now stands at a profound spiritual crossroads. The time has come to move beyond materialism and usher in a new era—a civilization where faith and science walk hand in hand, illuminating the true nature of life, the soul, and the universe

Thomas Edison's Spirit Phone

Thomas Edison is globally known for his groundbreaking inventions such as the electric light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion picture camera. However, one of the most intriguing and lesser-known episodes of his life involves his pursuit of a device designed to communicate with the spirit world, often referred to as the "Spirit Phone."

https://okawabooks.com/products/laws-of-eternity

What was the ”Spirit Phone”?

In his later years, Edison developed a deep interest in the afterlife and the possibility of communicating with the deceased. This led him to conceptualize a device that could bridge the gap between the living and the deceased. Edison believed that with the correct scientific approach, it might be possible to prove the existence of spirits and even listen to their voices.

Edison's Motivation and Concept

Edison's interest in a spiritual communication device was partly fueled by the Spiritualism Movement of the early 20th century. During that period, many scientists and inventors were captivated by the idea of the supernatural and sought to investigate it using scientific methods. Edison, known for communicating with Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who founded the Theosophical Society, believed as an innovator that "If there are spirits, there must be a way to measure and detect them."

Edison's Approach

To create his spiritual communication device, Edison theorized that spirits might possess some form of energy detectable by a highly sensitive machine. He envisioned an apparatus that could pick up these subtle energies which enables us communication with the other side. Although Edison reportedly conducted several experiments, the specifics of his work and any concrete results remain shrouded in mystery.

Spiritual Message of Thomas Edison

Edison passed away in 1931, but the five million pages of notes he left behind contain forward-thinking ideas, such as an automatic translation machine that transcends language differences, a spirit communication device to converse with the deceased, and teleportation technology to move matter. Where did such timeless ideas originate?

In 1985, Master Ryuho Okawa recorded a spiritual message from Thomas Edison. In this message, Edison’s spirit revealed that he resides in the eighth dimension, under the scientific silver light (one of Seven Colors of Heaven) led by the ninth-dimensional spirit, Newton. Edition stated that he exists to allow humanity to accumulate new experiences through the advancement of science.

This message from Thomas Edison's spirit is summarized in the movie The Laws of Eternity.

A scene from The Laws of Eternity Movie: Thomas Edison is speaking to Ryuta.

"I believe science is essentially a force that promotes and develops civilization, allowing humans to gain diverse and new experiences. Through the joy we get from these new experiences, we find spiritual progress. I feel that's the purpose of humans being born on Earth. However, when we forget the real essence of science and pursue only convenience, that's when we start getting into trouble.

I am now going to tell you why I asked for your help. I wanted to warn you that science is facing a real danger today. The danger arises from the trend of believing only in the material world and completely ignoring the spiritual world. The truth is, progress in science can only be achieved by recognizing what we call the spirit world.

For instance, by discovering the system for traveling through the spirit world and different dimensions, the human dream of freely traveling through the universe may finally become a reality. Interaction and trade with extraterrestrial beings might become possible, and even the energy problem can be solved by investigating spiritual energy, which will provide abundant, clean, and safe energy for the world. This is precisely the science of the spirit world.

Just as all religions that denied science eventually became obsolete, there is no future for a science that denies the Spirit World.

We scientists must have the courage to face the world and prove to everyone the truth—that this world here on Earth is far from being all there is, just as Galileo and Copernicus did. "

Master Okawa stated in The Essence of Buddha,

"At present, the field of physics seems not to have made much progress in understanding elementary particles and the structure of the universe. But beyond the boundaries of today's understanding, the mystical wonders of the Spirit World await modern physics. A breakthrough in physics will require the unraveling of the secrets of the mechanism and structure of the Spirit World." P. 134

Exploration of a Spirit World as discussed in The Laws of Eternity could indeed be considered the new frontier for humanity.

Reflective Meditation for Modern Individuals

To cultivate insight, returning to one's original self as a "child of God" is the path. Master Okawa provides various methods for achieving this, such as the detailed sequence from reflection to meditation outlined in "The Challenge of the Mind" for busy modern individuals.

Starting with relaxation and regulated breathing in a quiet environment, individuals flatten the waves of their minds stirred up by the three-dimensional world. Reflecting on one's thoughts and actions, tears may flow involuntarily, representing a deep emotional experience stemming from the soul. This emotional release purifies the heart.

"Shedding tears is not a function of the brain, nor is it a function of the eyes; it is a result of the strong emotions coming up from the soul. The reason you are so moved is that you have caught a glimpse of your true self. You should first attune your mind and body to relaxing, then go into reflection and examine your past. By the time you shed tears, your heart is purer."

Continuing the practice gradually leads into meditation, where the mind becomes more detached from the three-dimensional world, tapping into the subconscious treasure trove. This journey involves returning to the original self, stepping into the world of meditation.

"As you reflect on yourself and enter a meditative state, your mind will become more distinctly separate from this three-dimensional world and you will gradually tap into the treasure house of the subconscious. Your real self is now stepping into the Real World, the world you originally came from. This is the world of meditation."

Insights for Successful Negotiation that Techniques Cannot Reach

Numerous books have been published on the essential negotiation skills for business success.

Techniques such as adopting a listening attitude(Learn To Be An Active Listener), timing in initiating conversations, probing questions to unearth latent needs, and presenting flexible options are presented as ways to enhance negotiation skills. While the abundance of knowledge is also crucial in addition to these techniques, ultimately, negotiation reveals one's human "comprehensive power."

In particular, the ability to seize the essence of matters and understand the counterpart's emotions deeply, known as "insight," is a human strength that AI cannot replace.

What was the phrase that profoundly impacted a young in India?

Our team had the opportunity to set up a stall at the Delhi Book Fair last month.

There, we were handing out cards printed with excerpts from 'The Law of the Sun.' During the event, a young Indian man came back to our stall and shared his experience with us, saying,

'As I was just passing by, I happened to receive one of your quote cards. After reading the excerpt, I was profoundly moved. It was then I noticed that it was from 'The Law of the Sun,' as the name was mentioned right here. That’s why I’ve come back to buy the same book.'

Indeed, I recall the first time I encountered those words myself, how they struck me, leaving an indelible mark, and how my fundamental worries seemed to vanish in an instant.

The fact that a young Indian man felt the same profound impact confirms the significant influence this book has across the globe.

You might be wondering what exactly was the phrase from 'The Law of the Sun' that had such a profound effect on him.

We invite you to visit our website to explore more and perhaps discover that life-changing phrase for yourself.
