I believe in spirits. I mean, I experienced something I cannot explain without believing in spirit.
I was surrounded by spirits one time. I was just fillfied and connected for something greater just a second yet eternally. Herhapes, I keep studying spirituality because I cannot forget about the experience.

Spirits exist. It's as obvious as oxygen. It is "be." The energy of the spirits exists at the beginning of the universe or even before that. We named them in the ways we could understand, and maybe it became religions or nature deities in time.
I call them "Kami." I am not sure if that's a good name for them, but it makes the most sense to me; more than gods, buddha, or greater. It's my personal preference.
The "Kami" energy is so varied. Soft and gentle ones, sharp and honest ones, or super powerful and mean ones... It is as varied as the insects or birds or human personalities. I mean that's really natural because the world is fractal. The tangible world is one of the manifestations of the unseen world. It is really fun to experience them and know their personalities. (spiritualities?) I'd love to know this vast spiritual world as much as I can until the last moment. :)

When I fall in love with one particular Kami, I send a love letter, gifts, and sing songs. I want them to see me. I love you, I love you, I LOVE YOU!!! Please look at me! Please love me! It is like a love relationship. They have the choice too, and the only thing I can do is keep letting them know of my love!
Many times I gave up because I felt I am not enough. Sometimes the relationship ended. It's heartbreaking, but each time I learn how I can be better, and how I can relate with them for the long term. And one day, I would love to meet the one I love/be loved from bottom of my heart and spend my lifetime together. In other words, I would love to remember the one who I am with for many many lifetimes. It is really like a love relationship.

Our sensitivities are different, so how we sense Kami is also different person by person. And it is natural to have preferences too, like our relationships.
Some people see Kami in nature; mountains, trees, or the plants. Some people see Kami in angels or star beings. Or for some people, their partners are their Kami. Maybe some people connect with multiple Kamis. I believe spirits live in every single phenomenon like the Animizm view, and I honor individual connections to the spirits. *
Who is your Kami?
What is your Kami?
It's personal.
May we all connect with Kami who we can say I LOVE YOU! from bottom of our hearts!! With love,
Kyoko
