Wonderment and Awe: the Way of the Kami

Magic and awe-inspiration: God's Way As you watch director Miyazaki Hayao's wonderful animation (animation), you will soon discover that he pours a rich worldview into his rich and meticulous world. Habits and myths. His film depicts a combination of interesting spirituality, especially from Shinto tradition. Shinto is a way of life, not religion - a mystic and animal belief that everything has a spirit, encouraging natural worship, folk beliefs, ancient gods, and rituals.

God refers in particular to the power of the phenomenon inspiring to make the magic and awe of the audience (sacred), and prove the sacredness of this phenomenon. It is similar to the mysterious giant described by Rudolph Otto and a huge mysticist, the latter is known as "afraid and fascinating mystery". God exists in everything, but specific objects and places are specified for interfaces between humans and gods: the shrine, the shrine, the shrine and the camadana. Some natural places are considered to have an unusually sacred spirit and are subjects of worship. They are often mountains, trees, rare rocks, rivers, waterfalls and other natural objects. In most cases, they are in or near the site of the shrine. Yasukuni Shrine is a building that enshrines God. It is a sacred space apart from the "ordinary" world. Kamidana is a family shrine that will take the place of a shrine every day.

In Shinto, it is widely believed that "people are children of God". First of all, it means that people are blessed with God, so its nature is sacred. Secondly, this means that God can realize everyday life, so people's personality and life deserve respect. Individuals must respect the basic human rights (regardless of race, nationality, or other differences) of each person and his own human rights. Shinto did not discover the concept of original sin. Instead, humans are considered to have mainly sacred character. However, in reality, this sacred character is hardly revealed to humans. Purification is thought to symbolically remove dust and impurities that cover your heart.

In Shinto, people believe that the essence of life is sacred as God has begun human life. But since you can not independently recognize the sacred nature of God's creation, you must use magicolo or purification to see the nature of God. This purification is given only by God. Shinto believers are taught to observe the four affirmations of Shinto in order to please God and obtain Magokoro. The first one is to stick to tradition and family. Families are seen as the main mechanism of traditional preservation. For example, in marriage and birth, the tradition may be protected and it may be conveyed to future generations. The second one is definitely to love nature. Because the gods live on them, natural things are worshiped as sacred. Therefore, contact with nature means contact with God. The third one is definitely to keep your body clean.
