physicographē of heaven: physico-; physio- (Gk. φύσις ‘nature’) + graphē (Gk. -γράφος ‘writing or drawing’). The sense of this compound word intended is ‘natural literature of heaven.’ As we have the letters to describe the words to express our thoughts, there are miscellaneous phenomena (in the heaven) that are displayed by numberless visible and invisible celestial bodies. Such phenomena are compared to the letters that we use for writing. Physicographē of heaven is a science in the world of spirit which corresponds to the science of astronomy in our world.

Astronomy is religion (天文即宗教).

The method of investigation of the spiritual world, which I am leading many peoples is called the “Chinkon (鎮魂)”, and this is the holy and divine method. About seventy years ago, a divine man named “Chikanori Honda, Heikuro” lived in this country, who primarily [taught] it, and he is the restorer of this method. The “Chinkon (鎮魂)” had been carried out from ancient times in our country, but he revived and reformed, which I am now teaching. In this method, there are three ways to feel in the spiritual world, namely the “Jikan-ho (自感法)”, the “Takan-ho (他感法)” and the “Shinkan-ho (神感法)”, and the first means the self-feeling, and the second means the feeling by another person, and the third means the feeling by God. These are all the ways to get the spiritual senses or inspirations, which let men understand the spiritual world. This method should be performed before God, and by praying to Him. The executor sits against the “Chinkon stand” on which a small pebblestone is put in front of him, and he looks at this object by half opened eyes, for about thirty minutes. The “Chinkon stand” is placed about one and half meters forward from the executor. By chanting a spell he unfolds his soul to the Cosmos without any thinking. After a while, the bodily senses vanish away and the spiritual senses take place, which are very fine and delicate.
