Rice cultivation technology attracts the world’s attention

Q:
As societies are changing dramatically under the coronavirus pandemic, we are seeing more problems with securing food. In addition to practicing Chinkon* for the galactic universe, I think that “food code” has become a major theme in this G-code seminar. I would like to hear about that.

A:
Although little has been reported in Japan, an emergency has occurred in China due to locust damage. We believe that this summer will be a major turning point, and we are taking measures against it. This situation has made me believe that rice is the most important thing in Japan.

We have previously hosted the Environmental Symbiosis Study Group. We dedicated red rice, the oldest rice in Japan, to the 78 shrines nationwide, ranking highest among the shrines of each province. The Japanese have been deeply connected with rice and rice cultivation for a long time.

Rice cultivation began in Japan in the Jomon period, about 12,000 years ago, before the beginning of the Yayoi period. It most likely propagated from Honshu to Okinawa and Hokkaido on a gradual basis.

Rice and its cultivation are the basis of our research, and the final objective of the research is the rice hulls. Currently, our enzymatic solution, ORMUS, includes nano-carbonized rice hulls in the compound. Organic carbon and a large amount of silicon are extracted from the rice hulls. It is very nutritious and is believed to be the best method for curing disease.

In this sense, the best technology for disease treatment is to identify the DNA and species of rice. And the Japanese have that technology. Here again, the tradition and culture handed down from the Jomon culture are essential. Afterward, the traditions took on crucial significance as they were related to the rituals that the Emperor performed.

As the passage “Toyoashihara no Mizuho no Kuni” (the Land of Abundant Reed Plains and Rice Fields) is included in the Oharae, one of the Shinto prayers we recite daily, Chinkon is provided with this technology. In the future, rice will prove to be comprehensive nutrition for humans and will attract more and more attention around the world.

Here, I would like to return to the starting point and emphasize that it is important to value rituals and meals. In Japan, the god who left the seeds of rice and praised the culture of rice has been identified as Ukanomitama. It is necessary to inform everyone of the “food code”, including this background.

* Chinkon is a meditation method to return life force energy to the dan tien area under the navel and bring the mental body into a meditative state.
