Living surely in uncertain Era

Economic impact of
coronavirus
infection

In this time Article, in light of the
recent World Situation and Economic
Trends, I would like to talk about
“what kind of changes are occurring
in society now” and “what kind of Era
is coming” in the world after the
coronavirus. 
First of all, I would like you to
look at the graph below. The bottom
three Red Lines show the overall
economic trends in New York from
February to September of this year.
Typical examples are workplace
attendance, transportation, eating and
drinking, and entertainment facilities.
In each case, sales dropped sharply
in the middle of March, when
coronavirus infection peaked, and
then gradually recovered until
September. This is the so-called
L-Shaped Recovery form.

On the other hand, the Green Line 
at the top shows the Economic
Trends of Food and Medicine.
Only Food and Medicine are not so
depressed during peak of corona
infections, and have remained
relatively stable with little decline
until September.  This is because
many citizens definitely buy only
food and medicine, with or without
a corona infection, or even while
waiting at home.
(The table above shows the economic
trends only in New York, but it is
thought that the trends are almost
the same too in other states in the
United States.)

Next, the table below is a graph
showing the transition of the Dow
Jones Industrial Average during the
same period as the table above.
As you can see at a glance, the stock
price fell sharply in mid-March,
when the corona infection peaked,
and then rebounded vigorously from
that point, achieving a rapid V-Shaped
Recovery.

In detail, the Dow Jones was at around
$ 29,000 until  the end of February.
But when it comes to March, it fell
sharply under the influence of the
corona infection and it plummeted till
below $ 19,000 in mid-March when
the corona infection reached to the
peak. That’s a real $ 10,000 drop.
It is still fresh in our memory that the
Dow Jones fell to $ 1000 and $ 1500
a day during this period.
However, by the beginning of
September, it had surprisingly
recovered to the $ 29,000 level.
The same thing happened with the
Nikkei stock price in Tokyo.
In short, since March, despite the
fact that all industries were able to
make only a gradual recovery, only
the stock prices have achieved such
an amazing V-shape recovery.
This extraordinary rise was
unpredictable for many investment
fund professionals and also for almost
all companies.
What does this mean?

First of all, the reason for the rapid
recovery of stock prices is that the U.S.
government and the Fed, the central
bank of the United States, released
a large amount of money to the market
in response to the spread of the
coronavirus infection from March this
year. That triggered a surge in the Dow
Jones Industrial Average.
The Fed’s financial support measures
were to buy unlimited government bonds,
buy not only large corporations, but even
corporate bonds of low-credit companies,
and started supplying small and
medium-sized enterprises with exceptional
funding. In total, that amount has reached
$ 2.3 trillion.
The Bank of Japan also invested a large
amount of money in the stock market,
doubling the purchase of assets from 6 trillion
yen to 12 trillion yen. And there was an annual
upper limit of 80 trillion yen for government
bonds up until now, but they have changed it
to “unlimited purchases.” In the case of Japan,
the total business scale was about
108 trillion yen.
Due to these factors, stock prices in both
Japan and the United States rose sharply
in a V-shape.
The government’s financial support measures
were unlike the 2008 Lehman shock, because
of the reason of viruses, there were no
particular dissenting opinions nor objections
among parliaments, opposition parties,
companies, and the private sector of every
country including Japan and the United
States. Therefore, it went smoothly.
Because of the corona reason, no one
could argue, and every country’s fiscal
mobilization decision went smoothly.

However, despite such a total fiscal
mobilization, the spread of coronavirus
infection has not stopped, and the economic
situation is still chaotic. However, since the
beginning of September 2020, the US
economy has been recovering a little
due to the decrease in the spread of
coronavirus infection.
What is the current state of the world
since the advent of the coronavirus?
And what kind of era is the present
entering?

I would like to think about this through
BlackRock” (pictured below), which is
currently the world’s largest asset
management company in the United States.

BlackRock is an investment fund
that manages huge assets of
$ 7 trillion annually and its funding
scale is literally the largest in the
world.
This amount is a huge as which of
three times the amount of $ 2.3
trillion in financial support provided
by the US government this time
for measures against coronavirus.
In addition, Japan’s national budget
(general account total) for 2020 is
about $ 1 trillion, and that is about
seven times as much of that.

However, even that BlackRock could
not predict the sudden fluctuations
in the financial market including the
stock price due to the coronavirus,
and lost $ 1 trillion. The impact of
coronavirus infection this time
that gave on the economy as
a whole, was extremely unusual so
that it had damaged almost all
industries, including food, tourism
and transportation.
This time, many asset management
companies, including BlackRock, made
a loss at the Black circle in the figure
below. That was the time of mid-March
when the coronavirus infection spread
and all economic indicators, including
stock prices and crude oil, reached the
peak of decline.

At that time, many professional investors
and companies sold their assets from the
first half of March, due to the prediction that
the “spread of coronavirus infection will
continue for a long time and the economic
downturn will be severe.” And they went
through the process of converting them
into cash. The loss was generated because
the assets that were of high value were
released below the purchased price.
However, in reality, stock prices start to
rise sharply in a V-Shape from mid-March.

However, if so, you may think, “You should
buy again” at the place of the Red Circle
in above table, immediately after the stock
price starts to rise. However, this place is
extremely difficult to buy. The reason is
that when stock prices rise, they do not
rise in a straight line.
Definitely, it goes up while lowering several
times. At the time of this “several lowering,”
people think, “Because the spread of corona
infections will continue in the future, it will
lower further. Even with some government
mobilization, it will lower.” In other words,
it looks like Fig.2. If the stock price becomes
the form of Fig. 2 and goes down further,
even if they buy at the red circle, the loss will
increase further. Therefore, here is not an
easy place to buy. As a result, the assets
sold by many companies in the first half of
March, remained as loss.

The meaning of “sustainability”
used
in the world after the
coronavirus

The standard that BlackRock currently
sets as the most powerful investment
measure when selecting a good investee
company, is the company’s “Sustainability.”
For all investment Funds, not just
BlackRock, this “Sustainability” is currently
the most important factor when choosing
a good company to invest in. Especially
since the spread of corona infection began,
this tendency is becoming stronger.
Therefore, sustainability that means here,
is a term that has been rapidly gaining
attention in the wake of the spread of this
pandemic coronavirus infection.

This sustainability means the “sustainability
in a society where corona infection progress,”
and it has a slightly different meaning from
the “Sustainable Growth” used in traditional
Environmental issues.
For instance, if a retailer could show constant
sales without interruption, it is a sustainable
and good company. However, in the world
after the coronavirus, it is becoming much
more difficult to “show constant sales” and
“show sustainable sales” than in the
pre-coronavirus era.
The reason is, needless to say, no one knows
when a coronavirus infection will occur.
This is a “Risk factor” not found in the
pre-Corona world.
Not only that, it is also difficult to predict the
psychological state of people and citizens
when even a small amount of coronavirus
occurs. For instance, a small spread of the
infection will cause anxiety among the
citizens to spread unexpectedly, and many
citizens may stop buying products.

For instance, no matter how good the
company you are investing in right now,
if the corona infection spreads rapidly
at some point, or if a small amount of
infection spreads people’s anxiety and
the goods will not sell, the sales of the
company will drop at once. In such a state,
neither the investor nor the company
itself that is doing business can feel at
ease.
To put it shortly, it can be said that
we have entered an Era in which we
cannot feel at ease no matter how much
assets we own.”
It is often said that “(the world after Corona)
is an Era in which the speed of change is
much faster than in the past.”
If changing its expression, it also means
the “Era in which unpredictability is
rapidly increasing everywhere” including
the above various things.

Internal factors of the coronavirus

The factors that coronavirus brings such
“uncertainty” to society are not only the
social factors as mentioned above, but it
is also due to the unique characteristics
and structural factors of the coronavirus
itself as a virus.
That is, coronavirus is unlike conventional
viruses, a “cunning virus” that has the ability
to quickly adapt and respond to human
antibodies and immunity.
For instance, the course of infection of
the coronavirus in the human body,
when coronavirus suppressed by human
immunity or antibodies, they rapidly
adapts to that attack, creating corona’s
own antibodies and defense system, and
responding. They have the power to do so.
This is one of the root factors that make
it difficult to develop a powerful vaccine
among medical institutions and specialists
around the world.

From the above circumstances, I think
that in the future, in order for companies
to achieve “Sustainable corporate
management” in the world after the
coronavirus, it is necessary to have the
Law of Origin (Myō-Hō) in their
background.
The Law of Origin is the law that exists
in all phenomenon worlds and manages
the movement of all phenomena.
Therefore, if a company carries out
good corporate activities with this law
(Myō-Hō) in their background, it will be
possible for all phenomena to act as
a tailwind.
Also, the same is true for the
countermeasure against the coronavirus.
Through the Law of Origin, you are to
move all phenomena including your
physical function, and repel the
coronavirus.

In preparation for a new Era

Now I said above “we have entered
an Era in which we cannot feel at ease
no matter how much assets we own.”
But if you have the Law of Origin and
do the Act ① and Act ②’s Mercy and
Wisdom action, the situation will be
different. You can be assured. This is
because your good deeds will be
expanded and strengthened by the
power of the Law of Origin, and your
well-being and prosperity will surely
increase in any Era.
For example, suppose you now have
a son or daughter. They are already
adults, have a family and are living far
away.
For instance, even if your work is going
well, you may be worried and anxious
about them if you lose contact from
distant son (or daughter).
“Isn’t there something happened?”
Even more so, now is the time when
coronavirus infections are socially
widespread, you will be worried about
their infection and financial situation.
“Is their work going well?”
“Are my grandchildren healthy and well?”
and so on.

For instance, if you email distant family,
they may not respond to you for a while.
Then you’ll be worried.
At such times, suppose you have the
Law of Origin, perform the Mercy and
Wisdom of Act ① and Act ②, and send
mercy for the well-being of the world and
citizens. Then the effect of that good
deeds is expanded and strengthened by
the power of the Law of Origin, and works
to far away. And by that effect, you can be
confident that the well-being and safety
of your family is guaranteed.
Therefore, you can be assured.
(→ For Act ① and Act ②, refer to
the basic paper on the site)

Similarly, suppose you spent some of the
money that you’ve earned from sweating
in your work, on the “Activities to inform
the Law of Origin to people.” Then, the
value of that money will be expanded
and strengthened in the same way as
the actions of Act ① and Act ② that you
perform, and its effect will be useful for
the well-being and prosperity of the
distant family. And that becomes clear
to you. Therefore, you can be assured.(1)

(1) Now among the act I said above, the
former is “Law Donation” and the latter
is “Property Donation.” In both cases,
the effect of  its merit and reward work
to far away. (See Menu Donation)

Even if your family far away doesn’t
contact you, you can be assured as
long as you are performing the actions
like above. You will think, “When there is
no contact, when they are going well.
when there is contact, when there is
something.” There is no anxiety there.
In other words, you can be assured with
or without contact.

Why I talk about this kind of thing here
now is that Doubts, Suspicions, and
Distrusts in human relationships dose
not much occur when people are in
direct contact with each other. However,
they often happen once you are far away
and lose contact. In other words, Suspicion,
Anxiety, and Distrust often occur when
people are far apart from each other.
This is true not only between individuals,
but also between countries, national
leaders and politicians. In the case of
nations, the loss of contact and talks
with each other arises suspicions in the
minds of both leaders, which develops
into “Distrusts” and sometimes
strengthens military power to defend
their own nations.
The tragic wars of the past, such as the
two big wars of the 20th century and the
Cold War, fundamentally began through
such a process. And it caused the victims
of countless innocent people.   
This should never be repeated again.
Therefore, in order to eradicate the
“Suspicions and Distrusts” that arise
in the human mind, which are the root
causes of such wars, we elucidate where
they originate fundamentally. And here
I am talking concretely about the
fundamental solution, the “Effect and
power of the Law of Origin.”

When the power of the Law of
Origin
works in the workplace

Next, let’s talk about how the power of
the Law of Origin affects your workplace
and your company.
For instance, if you perform good acts
with the Law of Origin, you will discover
at your workplace that your co-workers’
sales are as good as you are. This is
because your company can only be run
when all employees are selling well.
In other words, because the company is
running well, your own profession is
secured, and your life can be possible.
On the other hand, “Your own sales are
good. Everyone’s sales are bad.
The business condition of the company
is not good. The economy of society is
not good.” Such a state is good for you,
but overall it’s not. Because if that
situation continues and the company
goes bankrupt, you too will lose your job.
Therefore, when you perform good acts
with the Law of Origin, you discover
that the sales of all employees, including
yours, will improve.
The Law of Origin creates such a situation
by moving all phenomena to secure your
job and to stabilize your life. As a result,
you will protect both your co-workers and
your company by performing good acts
with the Law of Origin.

Certainly, you may have
a “Rival consciousness” or “Competitive
consciousness” with your colleagues’
employees when it comes to sales
personally. Competitive consciousness is
a source of vitality for capitalism, so it can
be used in a good way.
However, if you focus on “your own life”
and “permanently securing a profession”,
the situation of “the whole thing gets
better” as mentioned above is good.
Especially as it is today, when the
coronavirus is widespread throughout
society, and the economy as a whole is
depressed, that shape is even better.
Also, the effect of performing good
acts with the Law of Origin are not
limited to improving your work
environment. That will lead the area
you live in to prosperity and safety.
Furthermore, it will lead the whole
society, the nation of America and the
international community to prosperity
and cooperation.

The difference between the value
of money and the value of the Law
of Origin

Next, I will talk about the issue of the
value of money.
Now, the various good effects and
good situations I have mentioned
above are the effects that you cannot
get with the power of money alone,
no matter how much money you
spend. This is because the Value only
for money has Variability such as
“it works here, but it doesn’t work in
the distance” and “it works in this part,
but it doesn’t work in other places.”
In other words, the value of money
fluctuates depending on the place,
field, and time of use.
Certainly, the power of money works
equally globally in the financial and
economic fields. It also has a strong
effect on human relationships.
However, if looking at it in detail and
realistically, there are such fluctuations
in the power of money.
Therefore, when the coronavirus
infection etc. spreads and the economic
fluctuations become large, “no matter
how much money you have, you cannot
be relieved by that alone.” Because it is
not possible to adjust the outbreak
of the coronavirus or time of occurrence
with the power of money.

In this respect, the power of the Law of
Origin is fundamentally different from
the power of money. The power of the
Law of Origin manages all phenomena,
so it has the powers that
“it works here and at the same time,
works in another place” and “it works
in one place and works all places.”
That is, its action goes all places.
That is the power of the Law of Origin.
For this reason, the Law of Origin can
be established as the Law of Origin.
The “Effects that work in distant
relatives” and “Good situations” as
I mentioned above arise from this
principle of the Law of Origin. This is
the essence of the Law of Origin.    
It is the only part that differs from
all other specialized Laws. So if you
use some law and “it works here but
not works elsewhere” “works near
but not works far,” it’s not the Law of
Origin, it’s another law. It is another
specialized law.

When the power of money is
connected with the Law of
Origin to exert great power

Now I’ll give you some examples.
For instance, “when humans get stuck”
is almost always when you think that
“your power or the power of the
money you earn, works only to
a limited extent.” The same can be
said not only for money, but also for
one’s ability and physical strength
(youth). In this regard, the power of
the Law of Origin, “it works in one
place and works all places,” can fill
the weakest weak-points of human
beings.

When the power of the Law of Origin
that “it works in one place and works
all places,” is connected with the
“money you earned with sweat,” the
following occurs.
For example, suppose you have a son
or daughter. They are working far away.
Occasionally, you say,
“This is pocket money,” and send them
to them. They will be happy and say
“Thank you” and send you an email.
And they will spend the money as an
expense when they work.
But the effect of the money does not
stop within that range. The money
arranges everything from the health
of sons and daughters to their
psychological state, vitality, and their
living environment.
It also prevents them from being
dyed in evil in the future or entering
the path of evil. It also prevents them
from falling into poverty.
You will be able to confirm that fact
when you later communicate with
them.

Also, those that demonstrate such
value is not just money.
For instance, suppose you find one dish
to be very delicious when you usually
eat. And you think.
If a distant son’s family (or daughter’s
family) or grandchildren ate it,
“They would be happy to find it as
delicious as I am.”
Then you make one or two meals
so that they can eat them immediately,
put them in a pack, and send those to
them as a sample. / Not only that.
You enclose dish’s ingredients and
a copy of a photo of recipes for
cooking so that they can make it
themselves.
At that time, it would be nice to
put those photos in a thin clear file
of about A4 size. In the rest of the file,
they’ll add photos of their favorite
recipes. They will keep the file in
the kitchen bookshelf for a long time.
Finally, you will put them together
and send them by “Refrigerated flight.”

They will surely be pleased with
your these sincerity. You may not
see them tasting those dishes, but
you will see the scene in your eyelids,
that your grandchildren happily to
eat them. You will also be able to
see the scenes where their parents,
that is your son or daughter, are
pleased to look the children’s
appearance.
Sending food is sending them life
and vitality.

However, when sending food,
we must take into account that
children’s tastes are different from
those of adults. For example,
Children like the cooking with eggs:
Cutlets wrapped in egg shells,
Pork Fillet cutlet sandwich, French
bread and Good quality blueberry
jam, Omelet rice with lots of chicken,
pizza, Meat sauce spaghetti with
lots of minced meat(1), and “Hot cakes”
and “Sausage egg muffins” like those
found on McDonald’s breakfast menus,
etc. (Upper image)

(1) For minced meat sauce, fry the
minced meat and finely chopped garlic
in a frying pan first. Then, its OK just
mix them with a commercially available
meat sauce base.

These are a bit expensive, but the
money you earn from sweat exerts
large power. Given the well-being and
prosperity of your beloved family in
the distance, it’s a great investment.

In this way, supporting and raising people
is “Hand work”.
When the money you earn from sweat is
connected with the Law of Origin,
its power is expanded and strengthened,
and it comes to have such a power.
By doing so, your descendants will grow
up and the safety and prosperity of the
citizens of your country will be ensured.
*
Let me give you another example.
For instance, suppose one of your parents
living far away gets sick. You hear the news.
Then you send some of the money you earn
from sweat to your mother, saying
“Use this only for treatment fee.”
This is the power of Mercy. The power of
Mercy cures the illness. It will exert large
power.

However, if one of your parents have
an incurable or the Illness that is difficult
to recover, a little more additional work is
needed. You decide in your heart that
“I will bear the suffering of my mother’s
illness on her behalf.”
And, for instance, suppose while you are
daily working, you have some hardships
or pains in your work or housework. Then,
you think that “these are the suffering of
my mother’s illness and I am now carrying
them on my back and digesting,” and treat
them.
After you have treated them, your mother’s
suffering of illness will disappear and
she will be comfortable. Even if the illness
is one that is difficult to recover,
the progression of the illness will stop and
the suffering caused by the illness will
disappear.
After a while, when you get in
touch with your mother, you will be able to
confirm that.
This is also achieved by expanding and
strengthening your Mercy heart
with the power of the Law of Origin.

In addition, people with intractable
diseases tend to become pessimistic
in thoughts, so it is also important for
the people around her to use wisdom
as much as possible to lead her into
a “hopeful way of thinking.” For example,
“You have to see your grandchildren
grow up, go to college in the future, and
become a great person” and so on.
Everyone around her should lead her
that way.
Intractable diseases that are difficult to
recover are often impossible to cure
completely. An amputated leg is the same
as it does not recover as before. However,
it is possible to stop the progression of
the disease and eliminate the suffering
caused by the disease. Moreover, even if
there was the disease, it is possible to
establish the state of realizing human
happiness. Make those things happen.

I have talked about the meaning of
Mercy before. Mercy has two meanings:
“Remove suffering and Give comfort.”
(→The Article Why does it have to be
Mercy” posted January 24, 2019)

You do that because of your mother’s
illness, so it will be an important property
that your mother will leave for you.
Since you fought the illness on behalf
of your mother, that experience is
a valuable property to your life and
will remain a long time in your life.

As mentioned above, you should never
easily think about the value of the
small daily good deeds you do, and
that of “Action of Cause and Action of
Result” (1) of your good work.
Once you have the Law of Origin, which
manages all the phenomenon world
under control, your good deeds already
have the power to greatly influence
the people around you, society, and
nations.

(1) In the process of doing one job,
the time when you are making the
cause is “Action of Cause,” and the
time when you are finishing the result
is “Action of Result.”

When the power of the Law
of Origin acts on corporate funds

Finally, I’ll talk about the power of the
Law of Origin, which also affects
the money and profits that companies
generate.
Regarding this point, I said earlier,
“In a world where coronavirus infection
is on the rise, companies need to have
the Law of Origin (Myō-Hō) in the their
background in order to achieve
sustainable management.”
If I say this in other words, It means
“Connecting the financial power of
a company with the Law of Origin and
make the power of funds work more
reliably in a wide range of fields.”

However, here too, the power of the
Law of Origin is related to the fact that
it is passive. The power of the Law of
Origin can only be exerted by the work
of your good acts of Mercy and Wisdom.
Even if there is only the law, its power will
not be exerted. The same applies when
companies are to exert the power of the
Law of Origin.
Therefore, in order for a company to
maximize the power of the Law of Origin,
it is necessary to manage as good quality
as possible and to carry out
“management that carefully considers
what can contribute to the well-being of
citizens.” Here is the place where each
manager makes an experiential
judgment of value.
However, the good money you earn from
sweat at your work, even a small amount,
will be enough to bring out the power of
the Law of Origin.
