Realization of Success: The philosophy of opening your destiny through a positive mind.

Why is it that no matter how hard we try, we cannot change? Why is it that even when we achieve success, we feel unfulfilled? The answer does not lie outside of us.This book is a practical philosophy of life that reinterprets the philosophy of "Sekkyoku Seishin" (積極精神, the active positive spirit)—rooted in the Indian tradition of yoga philosophy—through the lens of Japan's unique spiritual culture: Budo (martial arts), Zen, Chado (the Way of Tea), Bushido (the Way of the Samurai), and Kotodama (the spirit of words)."Maintain the attitude of the mind as positive, under any circumstances whatsoever."This single point is examined thoroughly from both theory and practice, across three parts and more than 150,000 characters.■ Structure of This Book[Part One: The Chapter of Power] Reveals the essence of the six powers that build a life: physical strength, courage of the gut, judgment, decisive action, vital energy, and capability. Through Japanese Budo and Zen concepts such as "Fudo-shin" (不動心, the immovable mind), "Heijo-shin kore do" (平常心是道, ordinary mind is the Way), and "Shu-Ha-Ri" (守破離, the three stages of mastery), the true meaning of Sekkyoku Seishin is examined anew.[Part Two: The Chapter of Courage] Provides a detailed exploration of the "Method for Reforming Conceptual Elements" (観念要素の更改法) for rewriting the subconscious mind, and the "Kumbhaka Method" (クンバハカ法) for cultivating a body and mind unshaken by any shock. While illuminating the profound alignment with Japanese Budo concepts of "Tanden" (丹田, the body's vital center), "Zanshin" (残心, sustained awareness), and "Heijo-shin" (平常心, ordinary mind), the book practically demonstrates how to cultivate the composure to remain "calm and composed even in critical moments."[Part Three: The Chapter of Belief] Explains the mechanism by which belief becomes reality—the "concretization of belief." Through the spirit of "Kokorozashi" (志, the aspiration) embodied by Ryoma Sakamoto and Shoin Yoshida, the concept of "Hanare" (離れ, the release) in Kyudo (Japanese archery), the worldview of "Engi" (縁起, dependent origination), and the way of living through Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, the book presents the philosophy and practice for "reclaiming the sovereign authority over one's own life."
