Mitsuhiro TODA’s Post

Connecting A and B, which are not related.  I like that way of doing things. In yesterday's post, I wrote about my plan to create a spiritual community salon inspired by Jenny Ross' raw food/ living food restaurant "118 Degree", shoot a film there, and then open it as such for real. Let me describe this in more detail. Here's how it happened. Since May 2011, I have attended three times "Peace of Mind Workshop" organized by Hiroshi Ohuchi, Japanese translator of "A Course In Miracles," and his wife, Janet. The three workshops were held in Osaka, Tokyo, and at a hotel near Lake Yamanaka, near Mt. The Tokyo workshop featured Ronna Herman, an internationally known channeler of Archangel Michael. During these three workshops, I noticed that many of the participants had crystal bowls, a musical instrument. Someone explained to me that by placing the crystal bowl on the ground and ringing it, the vibrational frequency of the earth would be raised, aiding in ascension. I don't know the truth of this, but as a teenager who played drums, I was interested because I like percussion instruments, whatever they are. Incidentally, as a teenager I was not playing new age/spiritual music, at the time I started with the Sex Pistols and eventually played Metallica. By the way, these crystal bowls were not sold in music stores. I think it was only available through online shopping at that time. At least there were no dealers in the Kansai area where I live. I wish there were. I thought so, but I thought that such a business would probably not be profitable in the Kansai area, let alone in the Tokyo area. On the other hand, I liked the book "The Art of Raw Living Food," a book of raw food recipes created by Jenny Ross and Doreen Virtue, and wondered why there was no "118 Degree" in Japan. However, I also thought that such a restaurant would not be profitable in the Kansai area, let alone in the Tokyo area. It was around 2011. But what if you added the two together? It might become a business. So, I began to think that it would be nice to have a raw food/ living food restaurant with a space for selling crystal bowls. I recently wrote about how I started writing a screenplay for a movie in June 2012. The idea was to try to feature this restaurant in that script. In doing so, I decided to turn the entire second floor into a rental space with tatami mats. The characters could hold yoga classes, belly dance classes, and of course, crystal bowl concerts here. I also added a storyline setting in which the back of the building is an organic farm. The location is in Kobe. It is the metropolis where Andrés Iniesta was until recently. After thinking this far, it is natural to think that it would be a shame to leave it as a stage in a movie, and that it would benefit many people if it were opened as such a salon after the filming of the movie was over.
