Publisher's Synopsis
Ryuho Okawa, known as Master Okawa, is an icon in Japan, with more than 12 million followers and Happy Science Centers in 80 countries. As the founder of what is both a religious and spiritual movement, he is also a best-selling author with an astonishing 600 books to his credit. His bestsellers include: The Laws of the Sun, The Laws of Happiness, The Essence of Buddha, and Invincible Thinking. Many of these books are based on speeches Okawa gave before arenas of up to 50,000 people, while others are taken from conversations he has had- both in private and in public-with a veritable "Who's Who" of Higher Spirits, a diverse group that includes Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, Shakespeare, Edison, Newton, Confucius, Socrates and Picasso, among many others. Today, Happy Science has opened Centers in New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, Tampa. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hawaii, and Toronto. Corresponding with Happy Science's fairly recent entry into North America, Master Okawa has now released The Next Great Awakening: A Spiritual Renaissance. The Next Great Awakening begins with a recounting of Okawa's personal awakening. He explains why the "Real World" is not what we see with our limited senses, and shares "The Truth" about alien visitations in this New Space Age. One chapter also consists of verbatim conversations with four Higher Spirits: Enlil, Athena, Confucius and Rient Arl Croud in which they offer sage observations and predictions. In this new book Master Okawa described the New Space Age and one that will ultimately see an influx of alien visitors, an end to war, and the beginning of Utopia on Earth. Okawa convincingly explains why Earth, of all the planets in the Universe, is destined to become the "Planet of Love," and why we must wholeheartedly welcome extraterrestrial beings. Extraterrestrials have in fact long lived among us, Master Okawa reports, with many more preparing to visit. Those here now, and those yet to come will publicly declare themselves once we are able to stop all wars and other forms of violence against each other and against the Earth itself, he writes. Explaining Happy Science, Okawa describes it as a non-denominational religious movement that warmly welcomes all races and creeds. Backing up his claim are the testimonials of followers from around the world, who report that their belief in and commitment to the teachings of Master Okawa allows them to "experience miracles every day."
