The word disaster is composed of dis and aster (from medieval Latin dis-astro), and refers to something bad that occurs away from a good star.
The word is said to have originated from the ancient astrological belief that an unlucky arrangement of celestial bodies brings disaster or misfortune, and refers to a situation or calamity that is beyond human control or wisdom, caused by supernatural forces or external events.
Even in modern times, a disaster is an event, whether its causes or factors are natural or man-made, that exerts enormous and destructive forces on humans, society, or social life, resulting in damage such as loss of life and property, and destroying the social balance that had been established up to that point.
Disasters are classified into the following types:
1. Natural disasters
Meteorological or geological disasters such as heavy rain, heavy snow, storms, lightning, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, and landslides. There are also artificial disasters disguised as natural disasters.
2. Man-made disasters
Man-made disasters such as urban pollution, industrial accidents, traffic accidents, and management accidents. These include air pollution, water pollution, noise, vibration, filth/odor, land subsidence, fire, occupational diseases, work accidents, disasters caused by traffic conditions, and disasters caused by neglect of management.
3. Special disasters
Chemical, explosive, biological weapons, radioactive materials, nuclear, etc. Disasters caused by war, terrorism, accidents, and leaks of hazardous materials.
* NBC disasters – Nuclear, Biological, Chemical
* CBRNE disasters – NBC plus Radiological and Explosive.
The essential aspect of disaster phenomena lies in the relationship between the phenomenon and humans. Therefore, the type and nature of disasters vary depending on the time, region, and technological level of the time. Also, the way disasters are perceived differs greatly between societies that have been hit by disasters repeatedly in the past or have experienced major damage and societies that have not.
Disasters may not be something we encounter frequently in our daily lives, but they occur suddenly and unexpectedly, so when they do occur, people are faced with a variety of unexpected situations and are said to feel complex emotions they have never experienced before. Moreover, disasters have a significant psychological impact, affecting not only the psychological state of individuals but also that of society as a whole.
According to psychologist John Leach, reactions to such emergencies can be divided into three categories, known as the 10/80/10 rule of survival. In fact, it is said that how the parts of the brain that control fear and emotions function can make a difference in how we make decisions and act when an unexpected disaster occurs.
1. Self-resolve: Stay calm and act rationally immediately – 10%
2. Brain freeze: Become shocked, scared, stunned, confused, stop thinking, assume safety, freeze up – 80%
3. Other-dependent: Panic, become hysterical, unable to cope with the situation at hand, pander to others – 10%
Therefore, while luck or misfortune may of course be a major factor in determining whether one lives or dies in an extreme disaster, it is said that appropriate and optimal judgment, action, and effort often lead to survival.
Conversely, when faced with a sudden disaster, people are unable to keep up with the rapid changes and developments in unprecedented events and fall into the following situation, which results in the mind, body and actions becoming frozen and frozen:
* The brain’s cognitive information processing process becomes confused and self-control is lost.
* As the brain is spinning its wheels, thinking loses its productive adaptability and comes to a halt.
* The brain’s information processing function becomes disorganized and diffuse, causing it to lose focus.
Furthermore, it is said that people can fall into psychological tendencies such as normalcy bias, confirmation bias, and majority synching bias, which can lead to their minds being controlled by the curse of prejudice, preconceptions, and assumptions that are induced by these.
a. Normalcy bias:
Failing to recognize the abnormality of a situation, and thinking that they will be fine.
b. Confirmation bias:
Looking for evidence that supports a belief and ignoring evidence that contradicts it.
c. Majority synching bias:
Gaining a sense of security and relief by conforming to the majority.
While some people may be born with a sixth sense that allows them to predict disasters, it is not easy for ordinary people to detect disasters before they occur and take precautions in advance. Therefore, based on past disaster cases and experiences, it is important not only to make preparations and stock up on supplies based on a survival manual, but also to be mentally prepared.
Kamo no Chomei (鴨長明, 1155-1216) experienced many disasters and calamities in his life, and he recorded his experiences of these calamities in his Hōjōki (方丈記, c. 1212), which he wrote when he was 58 years old.
Hōjōki is known as a work that expresses a view of impermanence. The view of impermanence depicted in the Hōjōki is that everything in this world is constantly changing, and nothing remains the same forever, and it also includes the transience of existing things and events, as well as the emptiness of things that are not permanent.
It’s unfortunate that I can’t express the refined sense of rhythm and resonance, but let me translate the opening of Hōjōki.
—–
Yuku kawa no nagare wa taezushite, shikamo motono mizuni arazu. Yodomini ukabu utakata wa, katsu kie katsu musubite, hisashiku todomaritaru tameshinashi. Yononakaniaru hito to sumika to, mata kakunogotoshi.
(trans)
The flow of a river never ceases, but the water is never the same. The bubbles that float on the surface of stagnant water disappear and form again, never remaining the same for long. The same is true of the people and their homes in this world.

Behind the concept of impermanence lies the idea of the Latter Days (in Buddhism), which says that after Shakyamuni’s death, his teachings will gradually be forgotten, and Buddhism will decline and fall into decadence, leading to the end of the world.
In Japan, it is believed that 1052 will be the year when the Latter Days will begin, and concerns about possible disasters and calamities brought about a view of pessimism and impermanence. This was a time of chaos, with the rise of the samurai class (武家）leading to the oppression of the aristocracy and its decline, and commoner society also caught up in the turmoil caused by the armed forces. The Taira clan (平氏) held hegemony for a time, but after their defeat in the Genpei War (1180-1185), the Minamoto clan (源氏) established the Kamakura Shogunate (1185-1333). It was a time when everyone felt a sense of impermanence in a situation where social stability, security, and values were constantly changing.
Meanwhile, it was around this time that folk belief in the Pure Land began to take hold, and people prayed for rebirth in paradise and sought salvation from Amitabha.
Kamo no Chomei lived in these turbulent times, but he suffered a series of misfortunes, including the sudden death of his father when he was 18, followed by the death of his mother, and losing an inheritance battle.
However, Chomei found meaning in life in music and waka poetry, and gradually his talent for waka poetry was recognized. At the age of 47, Chomei was recognized by Emperor Gotoba (後鳥羽天皇, 1180-1239) and selected as a member of the Wakadokoro (Poetry Office), and was also recommended as his father’s successor (shrine priest), but this did not come to fruition due to interference from relatives.
Chomei then became a monk and began living a simple life in Hōjōan (方丈庵), which led to the writing of the Hōjōki.
The era in which Chomei lived was a time of turmoil caused by armed forces, but it was also hit by many disasters such as earthquakes, and the Hōjōki describes these disasters in detail.
Below is a summary of the five disasters that Chomei experienced during the eight years between the ages of 23 and 31, and their details.
1. The Raging Conflagration of Angen (安元の大火, 1177)
The fire started due to carelessness at an inn in the southeast of the capital, and quickly spread to the northwest of the capital, reducing many of the capital’s major institutions, the residences of nobles, and ordinary houses to ashes overnight.
2. The Jisho Tornado (治承の辻風, 1180)
A tornado broke out in the capital, and the wind quickly engulfed everything around it. Furniture, cypress bark, and roofing boards flew through the air like winter leaves, and after the tornado passed, houses that had been crushed flat or had only beams and pillars were left behind.
3. The Capital Moved to Fukuhara (福原遷都, 1180)
The capital was suddenly moved to Fukuhara, and all the ministers and nobles moved there. The buildings of Heian-kyo were dismantled one by one and put on rafts to be carried down the Yodo River to the new capital, but Fukuhara was a narrow area unsuitable for development, and although the old capital had fallen into ruin, construction of the new capital did not progress, and the capital was eventually moved back to Heian-kyo that winter.
4. The Yowa Famine (養和の飢饉, 1181-1182)
This two-year famine caused many deaths. Drought, strong winds, and floods caused crops to fail, and the Imperial Court tried various religious services to no avail, prices soared, and epidemics spread.
5. The Great Genryaku Earthquake (元暦の地震, 1185)
A major earthquake struck the capital, causing mountains to collapse and burying rivers, tsunamis surging inland and flooding the town with seawater, the ground cracking and gushing water, and rocks breaking and rolling down into the valleys. Aftershocks continued for three months.
In Japan, the things that have long been considered scary are earthquakes, thunder, fires, and stubborn old man, and it seems that Chomei also felt tremendous fear during the massive earthquake that he experienced.
Chomei wrote the following about the terror of the earthquake:
—–
All the temple halls and towers around the capital were destroyed, and not a single one was intact. Some were crushed and crumbled, while others collapsed. Dust and ashes flew up, and it looked as if smoke was rising.
The earth rumbled, and the sound of houses collapsing was as terrifying as thunder. Those who remained inside their homes were nearly crushed, and if they tried to escape outside, the ground would crack and block their escape route.
Humans have no wings, so they cannot fly in the sky. If they were dragons, they could escape by riding on clouds, though. Of all the terrifying things, the most terrifying is none other than earthquakes.
—–
The impermanence that Chomei expressed does not refer to the emptiness of the inevitable cycle of prosperity and decline, such as karma or the inevitable fall of all that prospers, but rather to the sad repetition of irreversibility, where things will never follow the same path twice.
In the latter half of the Hojoki, Chomei also wrote the following:
—–
Those of low status must be humble before those in power, and the poor may feel ashamed before the wealthy.
If one lives in a crowded area, one is at risk of fire, and if one lives in a remote area, transportation is inconvenient and one has to worry about theft.
As one advances in life, one’s heart becomes more greedy, and if one remains single, one is despised. If one has wealth, one becomes anxious, and if one is poor, one becomes resentful.
Dependence on someone leads to loss of self and being controlled by that person. Caring for someone means being tied down by love. Following common sense can be restrictive, but if you don’t you’re considered crazy.
In the end, there is no place in this world where one can feel at peace. No matter what job one does or how one lives, one cannot live in peace in this society for even a moment.
—–
As Chomei pondered what he should do and where he should live in order to find eternal peace and satisfaction in his heart and to live a settled life, he seems to have come to the realization that, ultimately, he was still attached to the secular world. This seems to have led him to move to Hōjōan, a small and cramped hermitage in the mountains, far from the hustle and bustle of the secular world, where there was not enough space to store any unnecessary belongings.
From then on, Chomei lived his life appreciating the changing seasons, sensing with all five senses the unfixed environments of spring, summer, autumn, winter, mornings and evenings, with his rich sensibility and literary culture, and he passed away at the age of 62, four years after completing the writing of the Hōjōki.
Chomei was forced to leave aristocratic society and never returned, but rather than fearing change, he accepted it as a natural part of life, accepted impermanence not as a subjective or objective thing or event but as an inevitable fact, and followed the destiny that had been bestowed upon him rather than becoming consumed by sadness or transience.
Recognizing impermanence and that everything is a passing moment and nothing is permanent may help us to live more consciously in the present moment, freeing us from attachment to the past and expectations and fears about the future.
To add a little more, one of the reasons why impermanence has been naturally accepted in Japan is that nature, gods, and humans have been seen as inseparable, rather than separate, relationships.
In other words, the natural environment, such as climate, weather, and geology, is not seen as a simple objective phenomenon, but humans coexist and live together as part of nature in a universal order, so nature and humans are not in conflict, but are allowed to exist as humans in nature and humans as nature. And while suffering from disasters and calamities has been perceived as fate or punishment, this is because the sense of resignation and transience associated with them is based on the idea of impermanence.
Incidentally, this is not the same as the structure based on the Western religious view of nature, in which God comes first as an absolute being, humans are placed below him as they control nature, and nature is placed at the lowest level, to be overcome and utilized.
In Japan, the sense of helplessness, resignation, transience, and adaptive attitude of humans in the face of overwhelming natural forces are all combined, and a social ethics has been formed based on a sense of impermanence. For this reason, even in the areas that were devastated immediately after the Great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake (1995) and the Aftermath of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami (2011), there were no riots or looting, and far from panicking, the victims acted more calmly and helped each other than usual, which drew praise from around the world.
Let’s get back to the topic of disasters.
At the disaster site, various situations are encountered and various emotions intersect.
Intense fear and anxiety can cause hysterics, confusion, and panic, and the brain’s functions become distracted, making it impossible to calmly observe one’s surroundings or accurately control one’s own actions. Furthermore, the anxiety, fear and stress caused by disaster situations, living in evacuation facilities and insecure situations place a psychological burden on individuals and societies.
In such situations, it is said that the following psychological damage, factors that can lead to stress disorders, and physical and mental symptoms can occur.
1. Causes
* Personal loss (family, home, etc.)
* Medical treatment for injured people
* Being surrounded by horrific scenes
* Unusual and unfamiliar life
* Anxiety about safety and security
2. Mental symptoms
* Blaming oneself or blaming others
* Fearful flashbacks and nightmares
* Feelings of helplessness, loneliness, alienation
* Emotional instability, sadness, depression
* Lack of concentration, memory problems
3. Physical symptoms
* Loss of appetite
* Headache, chest pain
* Stomach pain, nausea
* Dependence on alcohol and drugs
Some victims may develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), in which fear and anxiety cannot be completely wiped away even after some time has passed since the disaster, painful memories may suddenly return, or tension may continue.
Recently, rather than natural occurrences, psychological operations have been frequently carried out using new technologies such as DEW, HAAP, satellites, and biological weapons to intentionally create artificial disasters and calamities such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, heavy rains, fires, volcanic eruptions, explosions, massacres, and virus outbreaks in order to incite anxiety, fear, and depression, leading to negative social conditions.
This should clearly be seen as part of mind control, allowing the rulers to induce exhausted commoners and commoner society into a state that makes them easier to manipulate for their own purposes.
Furthermore, with advances in psychological research and technological capabilities, the mind control used by the rulers (satanic cults) on commoners and commoner society has become far more sophisticated, effective, and dangerous than in the days of Hitler or Chairman Mao, and using not only the latest technology to induce a state of thought suspension or mental paralysis, but also other highly effective tactics such as deception and fabrication, manipulation through jargon and rhetoric, and indoctrination through appeal to fear.
This is because the masses is not moved by the facts themselves, but by mental images that influence their thinking and their hearts. For example, even if an event is presented only in broad strokes and without any explanation of its origin, words such as “a great victory,” “a great miracle,” “a great crime,” “unprecedented,” or “a great hope” without any additional details create a mental landscape that is sufficient to motivate acts that terrify or fascinate the masses. In other words, it is also the mysterious and legendary aspects of an event that stimulate the masses’ imagination.
Incidentally, some people may recall that during the fabricated virus turmoil, reports based on psychological manipulation that made it seem as if the entire earth was covered in the lethal Covid virus and that infection was inevitable were spread by the MSM and SNS under the control of the rulers, suddenly plunging the entire society into anxiety and fear.
In any case, the overwhelming disasters and calamities currently being experienced by the commoners are likely part of predictive programming to induce absolute submission to the rulers or to have them prostrate and accept the transition to the New World Order. This is because to achieve mind control, it is first necessary to induce psychological confusion by creating uncertainty, instability, and anxiety in reality.
With that in mind, and referring to psychologist Steven Hassan’s book Combatting Cult Mind Control (1990), one gets the impression that overwhelming disasters and calamities are similar or identical to the mechanism of mind control that destructive cults allegedly carry out in three stages. In fact, numerous journalists have exposed evidence that covert operations involving virus and vaccines are being carried out by enforcement forces sent by cults under the control of the rulers.
To sum it up briefly:
1. Unfreezing
In order to confuse the view of reality and disarm the defense instinct, the framework of thought by which the individual understands the situation around them is shaken up and destroyed.
The techniques include:
* Physiological confusion – depriving sleep, restricting content and time, e.g., diet, etc..
* Hypnotic trance – conveying contradictory information in a seemingly harmonious form to cause confusion.
* Overloading the senses – disrupting balance and making the individual more susceptible to suggestion.
* Double binding – giving the person the illusion that they are making the choice themselves, while actually forcing them to do what the control person wants.
* Weakening normal intellectual defense capabilities.
2. Transformation
Filling the void created by the collapse of the old personality by imposing a new personality (a new set of actions, thoughts, and emotions).
Techniques include:
* Formal (boring) teaching using repetition, monotony, and rhythm.
* Giving the material to create a new personality gradually, bit by bit, at a rate that the person can absorb.
* Inducing a hypnotic state or making the person feel guilty.
* Using the person’s ability to adapt to a new environment, modifying their behavior while controlling the environment.
3. Refreezing
Once the personality has been broken down and a new belief system has been instilled, a new purpose in life and new activities are given to solidify the new personality.
Techniques include:
* Degrading the former self – Distorting memories and leading the person to minimize the good things of the past and maximize the sins, failures, emotional wounds, and feelings of guilt.
* Fitting the person into new information and a new mold.
Whether the rulers’ agenda is based on depopulation or on implementing a New World Order that involves resetting the financial system, by mentally and physically exhausting commoner society through disasters and calamities, their resistance will be weakened and a sense of submission will be fostered.
Incidentally, if we assume the realization of the Global Currency Reset (GCR), this will require the establishment of a strict surveillance system directly connected to the Quantum Financial System (QFS) that is integrated, censored and controlled by the Stellar blockchain. For the time being, it seems that the Global Economic Security and Reformation Act (GESARA) and the National Economic Security and Restoration Act (NESARA) will be implemented using Q phones. The QFS will unify fragmented financial systems, improving transparency, speed, security and reliability, and may ultimately free common people from financial slavery and lead to freedom.
It is difficult to say whether this will be good or bad for commoners and common society, but in the future, it may lead to a shift to direct management of cities and individuals with built-in digital capabilities, leading to the development of smart cities and the mandatory implantation of digital chips in the body. It seems that predictive programming for this purpose has already begun through disasters, calamities, spin reporting, and so on.
The relationship between nature, gods, and humans is not separate but inseparable, and nature is also the foundation of all life.
The Japanese view of nature, disasters, life, and social ethics have been formed based on a notion of impermanence. Nature is constantly changing, and at times it brings blessings and at other times disaster, but people have shared the blessings and patiently endured the disasters, accepting and adapting to nature without resisting it.
In other words, faced with the fury and threats of nature that cannot be denied by human power, they have sensed the presence of unavoidable forces along with a sense of impermanence. And instead of letting unreasonable or sudden death due to disasters or calamities lead to a state of resentment and anger, they strive to appease the raging gods, control their grief, and adopt a calm and collected attitude.
This is because the ethics and codes of conduct that formed the basis of the samurai government had permeated the general public over the course of 700 years, and self-cultivation itself was not limited to improving one’s own inner self, but was elevated to a spirituality of living for society and others. In addition to the loyalty, bravery, sacrifice, faith, courtesy, honor, frugality, and love that Bushido preaches, honor means a pure heart that knows shame, and was one of the first virtues and morals to be cultivated in the education of the younger generation.
On the other hand, it is true that recent disasters and calamities are used by the rulers to induce a favorable social environment for the continuation of their agenda by pushing the commoners into a corner, amplifying sadness, anger, anxiety, fear, and spreading negative and depressive emotions.
Improving spirituality and consciousness, living in harmony with nature, accepting the impermanence of change in nature, life and society, and instilling in society the ability to act calmly and appropriately in times of disaster should serve as a deterrent to the malicious schemes and tactics of the rulers.
Sincerely grateful for your financial support.
