The White House

Your Excellency,

　I have alerted you, Mr. President, again and again to the danger of the misuses of the electric waves that are the top scientific and technological development. I, one of the victims of the misuses, have to take steps to resolve this problem. I set up a meeting for the victims of the misuses of the electric waves on January 25th, 1998. We had organized twelve victims. Although only four victims attended the first meeting, we had very useful discussions. We decided to meet once every month.

　Although I have set up this meeting, strangely enough, I have not been able to rid myself of the ill feeling. The fact of the matter is that, although I am a victim, I have not been able to summon the energy to tackle the misuses. This is because I may be under mind-control by the misuse of the electric waves, but I am convinced there are different reasons. I feel compelled to clarify my present bad feeling and why I have not been able to rid myself of it. I think this clarification is very important before tackling this problem, otherwise I might be dragged into an undesirable direction.

　Why does the problem of the misuses of the electric waves not inspire me with the will to pursue it? Undoubtedly one reason is that I have not been able to find any impressive matter in the misuses though I attach importance to impressions. It is a matter of course because these are misuses. I am not ignorant about the possibility of the useful use of the electric waves from my experiences, yet I am not impressed. I usually think of art in a very wide sense. For example, all deeds of human beings are a kind of art, all deeds of human beings should be directed toward the exact meaning of artificial art. And I think those deeds observe ethics. My task until now has been to pursue the ethics that human beings must observe. I gladly engage in this kind of effort. However, the misuses of the electric waves are the total opposite of my ideal of ethical deeds. They are, of course, also the complete opposite of the Makoto-spirit observed in Japan. Why do I have to struggle to pursue the causes of abnormal unethical deeds? This is the reason I cannot get the ill feeling off my mind.

　The human deeds I have pursued as art are the kind of deeds that give people peace of mind. This peace of mind frees people from bonds and gives them a feeling of emancipation. It incorporates the ethics that all human beings should live by. It exists in the legacy of our ancestors who asked themselves: ﾒHow should human beings exist?ﾓ It seems that the misuses of the electric waves, which are the same as the misuses of the top science and technology, have challenged me who ask ﾒHow should human beings exist?ﾓ I would like you, Mr. President, to know the fundamental difference between the way our ancestors pursued human science and that of present scientists. Our ancestors' way is to ask ﾒHow should human beings exist?ﾓ under natural circumstances. And the way of present scientists is to try to understand the functions of homo-sapiens using men as guinea pigs by scientific and technological productions. The latter mistaken human science has come about as a result of the integration of the question ﾒWhy does homo-sapiens exist?ﾓ and the way of thought that attaches importance to human reason. As I think that the former Japanese type of human science is right, I would not want to be taken advantage of to develop the latter even if I have been a victim. I am not sure how valuable my knowledge is, but whatever it may be, I would not want my brain to be used to pursue the latter type of human science. This is one of the reasons that I have not been able to rid myself of the ill feeling.

　The other reason is that I see the abnormal intentions in the misuses. They must be the result of an integration of abnormal intentions and top science and technology. These abnormal misuses of top scientific and technological productions represent the extreme of the latter type of human science. These abnormal intentions which are the origin of the abnormal misuses may have guided human history until now. These misuses are so abnormal and powerful that they make me think this way. Although all deeds are the same, each human deed expresses distinctive features. The misuses of the electric waves are no exception. I, who have experienced the misuses more than anyone else, have to think as described above. Tackling this problem is the same as tackling the abnormal intentions and the ringleaders that have seized the world. This fight must not be only my fight but that of every normal human. This must not be an object to pursue. If people misunderstand the problem to be pursued, they will only be drawn in by the miserable abnormal intentions of the misusers. One reason, that I have not been able to rid myself of the ill feeling, must be that I cannot fight against this problem openly but can pursue it only privately and unwillingly through cooperation with other victims.

　What is the opposite of the abnormal intentions? It must be the spirit. I think the problem is that old Greek philosophy justified the big change from rationality based on the spirit to rationality based on human reason. It has become very difficult to deny the experiment of the old Greek city-states. I feel there is a contradiction between the thought of Socrates who attached importance to the divine revelation ﾒUnderstand yourself!ﾓ and the democracy of old Greece. There is also contradiction between the poems of Homer and the democratic procedure. I believe there is a misunderstanding about the divine revelation. Democracy must be accompanied with high spirit. In the teaching of the Japanese, Sontoku Ninomiya, the relation between Makoto spirit and Suijo is a good example. Everything based on high spirit is done rightly. This is the same not only in Japan but all over the world. In this way, a majority decision is a right decision. However, what we can learn from history is that democracy has been misused as a justification to dispose of the spirit. Democracy that is not based on high spirit gives people a justification to dispose of the spirit and spur to lose it. Does the spirit belong only to religion in Western countries? I do not think that the segregation of religion and politics in Western thought explains the real segregation. I think that we should stop trying to understand the segregation in the light of history. Now everyone by himself can think about the segregation based on humanity. It has become possible by asking ﾒHow should human beings exist?ﾓ It is impossible by asking ﾒWhy do human beings exist?ﾓ Fortunately, the Japanese have continuously and unconsciously existed only by the Makoto-spirit. The justification for Japanese has been the Makoto-spirit alone. It is natural to arrive at the question ﾒHow should human beings exist?ﾓ as a result of pursuing the spirit.

　It is not the case in Japanese society to focus on the mind as Japanese attach importance to the spirit. Therefore, there is no need in Japan to develop science that investigates the mind, such as psychology. I would like you to pay attention to this difference because this is a very important point in politics. Politics based on the spirit and politics based on the mind show very different aspects. It seems to me that Western political methods have failed to imprint the spirit on democratic procedure. And the Western tendency to think of the segregation of religion and politics is based on the history of the West. These are the reasons that people tend to be inclined toward the mind. The Second World War could be understood as a war that decided the change from spirit to mind. It may be wrong to assume that spirituality was the prerogative of Japan, because Germany was also a very spiritual country and Japan's ally. As it was, the Second World War resulted in a victory for the mind.

　The victory of the mind and the rapid development of science and technology are an important relation that should not be overlooked. It is a big problem that top science and technology are being used based on the unstable mind. Science and technology, which bring about the estrangement of humanity, are being used based on the unstable mind. Evidence of their extreme is the misuses of the electric waves that I have suffered. It is the misuses that resulted in an integration of the evil mind and top science and technology.

　One should not be blind to the change from the spirit to the mind for the Japanese who have lived by and originated the Makoto-spirit. However, Japanese history has been such that importance was not attached to what it should have been attached to. But there must be evil intentions to do so. The successful change to the mind by evil intention was integrated with science and technology, and developed further into mind-control. This also explains the diabolical misuses of the electric waves in human history.

　All of this leads me to think that the Vice, that has designed human history and has occupied the top of the human hierarchy, has monopolized the use of the electric waves and has misused them. There have been trends that have eliminated the spirit from democratic procedure since the age of ancient Greece and have made people yield the misunderstanding concerning the segregation of religion and politics. The Vice that has made up the above designs may have, at last, seized the world. The outcome will be the complete opposite of my ideals. Although I should be encouraged to fight against the Vice knowing those realities, I cannot go straight into the fight because all methods which I need to fight have been seized by the Vice to stop my fight from escalating. The present structure of world domination drives me into this position. This is also one reason that I have not been able to rid myself of ill feelings.

　I have continuously studied by myself to pursue the ideal way as to ﾒHow should human beings exist?ﾓ Although I am not sure that my ideal is perfect, I am quite confident about it. This ideal should be the mainstream in the human way of life. Surprisingly, there have been productions which have made me think my way was merely a branch under mind-control due to misuse of the electric waves. This clarifies that the misusers dislike to place into the center what must be the mainstream. From this may be inferred that this is the root of the misusers of the electric waves that have secretly supported the branch to become the mainstream. The fact that I have not been able to rid myself of the ill feeling has made it clear to me that the fight against the misuses of the electric waves is the most important fight in human history. As this problem is of such fundamental importance, I feel it to be worthwhile to inform you about this. It may be human history that what must be the mainstream has become a branch, and what must be a branch has become the mainstream. This is the time to guide human history to the correct path, and the present is a good time to do so. What we need are politics that place into the mainstream what must be in the mainstream. Now the ill feeling that I have not been able to rid myself of is gone. There is no question that we can do more than merely pursue the misuses of the electric waves. I will also direct my future efforts in this direction. I request you to deliberate further on this matter.

Very truly yours,

TERUKATSU ISHIBASHI
