I believe two great frontiers remain for humanity:
Immortality and Enlightenment .

Advances in regenerative medicine may one day conquer death itself. But true health is not merely the absence of illness; it is a holistic creation. It requires us to design our entire way of life, looking beyond diet and exercise to reimagine how we live, work, and exist. True well-being is born from this complete reconstruction of our lives.

In the coming era, the rise of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), autonomous transportation, and robotics will render most of human labor obsolete. When the necessity of work disappears, what will we do? I believe our primary pursuit will become philosophy.

We will be faced with the most fundamental questions: Who am I? What is the true meaning of life? In an age where the structure of work has vanished and our purpose has become ambiguous, the need for a deep dialogue with the self will be more essential than ever.

This is our purpose. Through soul-stirring experiences, we deliver an awakening to your authentic self. We envision a world where every soul can live their truth.

For all who seek,
Find your truth

I have spent time with indigenous peoples, living a life of self-sufficiency. I learned that self-sufficiency is not a life of leisure, but one of constant work from dawn until dusk. It is a life made possible only through the mutual support of the entire community. We help each other, are sustained by the Earth, and supported by our companions. And for this, there were rituals.

Social anthropologists say that human communities cannot truly exist beyond 150 people. This is because 150 is the maximum number of individuals with whom we can invest the time necessary to build truly familial relationships. For those 150 people to become a family, they must share a common gratitude for the very fact of being alive. This is the purpose of ritual. It is through ritual that humans have evolved to cooperate. When an animal’s life is taken for food, a ritual of gratitude is performed: “Your life enters into mine, and is thus cycled into new life.” This sense of gratitude is a form of reverence—for each other, for the Earth itself, and for the entire environment that surrounds us.

To live better through gratitude is to exist within this cycle. Here, connected to our community and the web of life, we can discover our mission. When you have a mission, you do not fear, you do not worry. You can live not for yourself, but for others. To be able to live for others—this is to be in the midst of a great paradigm shift. With gratitude, our inner world can be freely transformed.

In the future, as AI evolves and robotics become commonplace, most of what we currently call ‘work’ will likely disappear. At that time, what will people live for? How will we use our time? In a society where survival is no longer tied to work, in a world where purpose has become ambiguous, humanity will embark on a journey to find happiness. And they will find that this happiness does not exist in the outer world; it is, always and forever, found only within. The task, then, is to explore this inner landscape. It is to ask: Who am I? Where did I come from? Why do I exist, and where am I going?

There are no single answers to these questions. But one thing I can say with certainty is this: if we can find our mission, the world will become a peaceful place. This may seem like a simple, fundamental truth, but in a modern society that has often forgotten its purpose, we have lost sight of it. How can world peace be born from this understanding?

It is this path that I wish to illuminate.
