Spiritual Debts and Yukon
---All of our members owe a lot of spiritual debts to God, not only those they have created in this lifetime but those which have been passed on to them through many generation. These are what Johrei Fellowship calls spiritual clouds. All our suffering, including sickness, is the act of paying off these debts, bit by bit.
A passage found in the writings of the founder of the Omoto Church states, "You all have many layers of clouds so do your best to pay off your debts as soon as possible." Our debts can be paid most quickly and easily through service and donation for God's Cause. That is why it is good to give as much money as possible so long as you do not strain yourself and you give from your heart. Not only does giving decrease your suffering; it increases your spiritual credits.
I have not often spoken of this up to now, but the money given to God is increased many times over and it is returned to you in good time. It is really marvelous, and you will know how true this is through your own experience.
You will never become penniless and suffer by making donations for the furthering of the Divine Light Program. ---If your God were that thoughtless you would have to stop having faith in Him !
