Today, you have heard Me on any and every matter.
At any moment, things will change.
Whatever may happen, bear no grudge.
It is all what you have done to yourselves.
To Moonsun, all of you equally are children of Mine.
Though love for you fills My thoughts,
There can be no help for what each of you has done
self-centeredly, I can only look on caringly.
Though today you know nothing at all,
look forward to the morrow. A great broad path will open.
When this path comes to be seen,
there will be no one able to stand against Me.
Whatever intent Moonsun may have,
there is perhaps no one who knows this mind.
When it begins to be seen, the innermost heart
of you everywhere will be purified of its own accord.

Reflections on the Great Broad Path - Direct Awakening - The Main Road:
When, for whatever reason, true sincerity manifests in a human mind we say that that mind has manifested the causality of origin and has returned to its original pristine condition. That moment of true sincerity and return may come once in a lifetime, it may come and go, or it may come and settle as the truth of a lifetime. It may be experienced as the wonder of wonders or it may by viewed as something weak and not worth bothering with. This seems to me to be a rather hit or miss situation. It also seems to me that this describes the human condition prior to October 26, 1838.
October 26, 1838 is the date that is attributed to the awakening of Miki Nakayama as the Shrine of Moonsun. From that moment on human beings have been put in a position where they, if they wish, can make the conscious decision to quickly return to their origin and in so doing know and understand as much as is ever possible for a human mind to know about the truth of any and everything.
This way or path of quickly returning the mind to its original pristine condition is called the Main or Broad Path. It is the quick, straight way to direct awakening. The elements of the path are very simple and it is promised or claimed that by quickly following the step by step instructions one can realize tested proof of what is proposed or promised. This very quick and direct path has proven to be not for everybody though it is always offered to everybody and is always available to anyone who wishes to test it.
So let's gather the tools or instruments needed for the test and get right to it:
First and foremost is the sincere desire to make an honest effort to do this.
If you have determined that you are ready then let's gather the rest of the tools or instruments needed for the the test and proof.
With your eyes open:
Be aware of whatever it is that you call your mind.
Be aware of the voice of your mind. The instrument that you use to talk to yourself. Say something to yourself to be sure that you have it.
Be aware of your ability to form mental pictures. Make a mental picture just to be sure that you have the capability correctly identified. Remember to keep your eyes open.
Ok, Continuing with your eyes open:
Say something imaginary to yourself.
Now make an imaginary picture.
Now say something real and true to yourself.
Now make a picture of something that is real and true.
Note that the instrument for making imaginary voices and images is the same as the instrument for thinking and making real and true voices and images.
Ok, Continuing with your eyes open:
Look at some object in the room and imagine something about it.
First with the voice of your mind.
Then make a picture of it in your mind.
Note, though we take it for granted, this ability to imagine is a marvel of nature and as far as we know we human beings have the most powerful version of it at our disposal.
So now let's pause for a moment and take stock of what we have discovered in gathering our tools. The instrument that we use to think real and true things is the same instrument that we use to imagine things. If this isn't clear then go back through the steps again. That being the case it is quite easy and even probable that we will get "real" things confused with "imagined" things. Our mental voice and mental imagery are then not reliable tools for this quick test for certain proof. They are a contamination of the test and not a tool for its rapid successful conclusion.
We mostly walk around in a self-centered dream. Did you know that? Just seeing that for yourself is enough to inject a healthy dose of freedom into your life.
That then only leaves us with one tool, sincerity and one challenge, the removal of any and all contamination so that our test for proof can proceed. Indeed the completion is very close at hand, as the tested proof is what remains in the mind that has had all of the contamination settled out or removed.
Here then is where the quickly comes in. If one takes the point of view that one will examine the entire contents of their imagination to determine what is true and what is purely imaginary that will take a very long time. The quick alternative is to make a clean cut with the verbal and mental images ( the self-centered imagination by stopping its movement. Don't worry you won't become a zombie. It is only necessary to stop the motion of the imagination just long enough to realize and understand the point of view that remains when the imagination is stopped. It is in fact the point of view that we had when we were three years old. Before we started accumulating self-images as our identity.
How then is the contamination to be quickly removed?
