She was practically impoverished and des- perate because she couldnt find a buyer for some valuable land she had inherited, and she needed the money to pay her son's hospital bills. "As | talked to the woman, | could sense a brooding, bloodied soldier dressed in an old fashioned uniform standing right behind her shoulder. When | closed my eyes | could still see the soldier but not the woman." This used to be a beautiful place. I remember riding through the bamboo grove on horseback about two hundred years ago. According to Dr. Motoyama, he meditated and prayed during the week following his encounter with the woman. He had another vision of an open field at the foot of a mountain. In the middle of the field he could see a tomb. Subsequently, when describ- ing the scene to the woman she Said she was sure it was the prop- erty near Oayama Mountain which she wanted to sell. The tomb was that of a soldier killed in battle back in the 16th century. "lrealized," said Dr. Motoyama, “that the soldier was angry at the impending disturbance of his tomb, 42 which represented his honorable death in the Bushido tradition. Consequently, he was harassing the woman. "During deep meditation | asked the soldier to leave the woman in peace. | explained that modern Japan is not militaristic, as it was when he was alive. We no fonger lived by the code of the Samurai, and his honor was no longer at stake.” Dr. Motoyama said that within ten days the woman's son was well enough to be released from the hospital, and soon after that she sold the property for a large sum.

"We all posess this extrasen- sory system beyond our mind and body,” he explains. "It can accept psychic energy from outside itself and convert it to physiological energy. "When this outside energy from God, or the Universe, or even someone's special psychic powers is transmitted, there is a bodily change. | am proving this through encephalograms, cardiograms and other medical tests which we are recording daily for study. FALL. 1991 "My patented machine, manu- facturedby San-Ei DenkiKK, meas- ures each chakra point and indi- cates, to an almost infinitesimal degree, the optimum spot for the acupuncture needle. It also helps me do detailed diagnosis and prog- nosis." Sayonara Suddenly Dr. Motoyama re- members that patients are waiting. One has anuicer, another is totally deaf. “I pray that | can cure them both in time," he remarks. Bowing a sayonara, he stops to mention that his shrine fulfilled a prophecy. It is built on a former bamboo grove near the Kanda Gawa river, which flows from east towest. Onaclearday youcansee Mt. Fuji. “Long ago ina vision, God told me one day | would have such a shrine on a river flowing from east to west. When the head of our believers found this property just after the end of World War Il, it was another miracle. Tne Kanda Gawa is probably the only riverin allof the Kanto Plains area that does not flow from north to south." Dr. Motoyama looks mournfully out the window at the urban sprawl beyond the shrine compound. “This used to be a beautiful place. | re- member riding through the bam- boo grove on horseback about two hundred years ago."
