There are many people who have taken their own lives because of online slander.
On the website of the Matsue District Legal Affairs Bureau, I read an interesting article titled “Words and Life” by Chieko Tamaoka, a third-year student at Misato Town Yamato Junior High School, which won an award in the “National Human Rights Essay Contest for Junior High School Students” in Japan.
Because the internet allows anonymous communication, irresponsible comments tend to spread.
Ms. Tamaoka pointed this out and said, “…I hope that everyone will take responsibility for what they say and continue to have a feeling of compassion. I hope that the verbal weapon of slander will soon disappear from this world.”
Recently, I too have seen some slanderous comments about Shinkiko.
A person who knew nothing about Shinkiko was responding to a person who was asking a question about Shinkiko. The person made a conclusion that “it sounds like a spiritual sales method,” and ended with an irresponsible statement, “I would stop it if I were you” without considering the reaction of the viewers.
The term “spiritual sales” has recently become popular in the world, and many people are probably very sensitive to it.
For those who don’t know, it may be difficult to understand how Shinkiko’s Ki comes out of a machine.
In the beginning, I myself was not the least bit interested in this Shinkiko which my father was practicing, as it had nothing to do with me.
But then, because of my own health problems, I started doing this Ki and realized that it was a good thing, so I joined SAS 30 years ago.
There are many therapies in the world that have no scientific proof, including acupuncture and moxibustion. Even if some of them are recognized by their long history, Shinkiko’s history of a maximum of 37 years can make it “dubious”.
Reassuringly, however, there is an academic article published by Dr. Nishimoto, who has experienced Shinkiko himself, concluding that “Hi-Genki is not a placebo effect,” and the SAS website has an excerpt in the section entitled “Double-blind Study Report”.
Furthermore, there have been many testimonials from people who have experienced the effect on physical pain, stress, improved relationships, inheritance problems, and other money problems, and I myself have been encouraged by these voices.
I believe that anything I say to people who don’t understand can only be misunderstood, so I tell them, “Please try it first.”
And for those who understand Ki, I try to explain carefully that “Human Ki is a spiritual thing”.
For your reference, I have posted the reviews of the experiences that we have received in this newsletter, categorized by symptoms.
