Refinement or Misogi
Misogi is a Way of Honor. It is the epitome of self-discipline and living for the welfare of others: Total Prosperity. Misogi is refinement, cleansing, purification, and this is applicable to mind, body, and spirit, as well as place, community, and environment. It is a concept of constantly living Rightly, of Principle, and refining our lives in order to live consistently within the parameters of Natural Law. Natural Law, the foundation of all existence, all society, includes the processes or systems of Nature that function holistically to ensure the health and stability of our world, therefore, for our people. Living outside of Natural Law, within the fabricated world of Man’s principles that are focused more toward profit, self-attention, and materialism, means that we compromise the welfare of our world and severely inhibit the welfare of future generations.

Cells die, and no amount of “jump start” can ignite the body when the life force leaves permanently. Earth is a progressive organism. Science says that Earth is not really "alive," because it does not breathe, eat, eliminate, and reproduce in the same manner that we "living" beings do. Earth doesn't follow the description that we've invented for a living being, and some say it is not a living organism because

Nature Deficit Disorder. Do You Have NDD?
If we let ego determine our grounds of belief for ourselves, and we pass those beliefs onto our children, then we do them a grave disservice, and it typically stems from ignorance.
In other words, the goal of all beings right now should be about

What Happened to Religious Freedom?
Why can people of other cultures, of other religions, come here and practice their religions freely, but I am forced to contradict my own and live a life of hypocrisy in my native land?
