We are about to welcome year 2010. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your support to our Truth of Life Center in the Southern California Missionary Area for this year and also ask for your continued support in the year 2010. May the holiday seasons bring you all happiness, prosperity, health, peace and love.
Our Founder, Masaharu Taniguchi, always encouraged us to have a dream. The year 2010 let us have a dream regardless of our ages. He wrote in his book, For Young People, as follows: “You must have a dream: whatever is of value in this world started out in the minds of people who bravely dared to dream.” He also encouraged us in this way: “Dream your dream now. No matter how poor you are now, you are already wealthy in the world of dreams. Regardless of how unfortunate you are now, you are already fortunate in the world of dreams. If you know right now that all things are created by the mind, it will be the same as if you had already left the impoverished, unhappy circumstances of the present and had been reborn in a new, wealthy, and happy world.” (from For Young People)
In this way, Heinrich developed his language skill and his business chances were broader. However, he didn’t try to learn Greek. If he had learned it, he thought he would give up his work and start to seek his long-time dream, discovering Troy. He accumulated his fortune using many opportunities during the Crimean War and American Civil War. After the Crimean War, he started to study Modern Greek and ancient Greek vigorously. In 1858, at the age of 36, he abruptly and formally retired from commerce.
Arnold Brakman described Troy and Heinrich Schliemann in this way: “For four thousand, nay, almost five thousand years, Troy had been waiting for delivery. Unearthing the phantom city, restoring her glory, this was the mission of his life, his destiny.”
The True-Image World has been waiting millions and millions of years for delivery. Unearthing the invisible world, restoring the blessings, this is the mission of our lives, our destiny. Let us dream a great dream for the year 2010 and restore the world of God in this world.
