「文明の創造、総篇」昭和27(1952)年

地上天国とはバイブルから出た言葉であり、仏教ではミロクの世といひ、西洋ではユートピヤなどといふが、勿論（もちろん）意味は同一であって、つまり理想世界である。之が曩（さき）にかいた如く神の目的であるから、現在迄の歴史は其（その）世界を造る過程であったので、幾変遷を経て漸（ようや）く天国の一歩手前に来たのが現在である。此（この）世界を一口にいえば、病貧争絶無の世界である。処が此（この）三大災厄の中の王座を占めてゐるのが病気であるから、病気さへ解決すれば、貧乏も争ひも自ら解消するのは、言を俟（ま）たない処である。

如上（じょじょう）の意味に於て、私は病気に就（つい）て根本原因を、凡（あら）ゆる面から徹底的に解剖し明かにするのである。而（しか）も之は医学と異って、人智によって生れた学問上の研究理論ではなく、神の啓示を土台とし、実験によって得たる真理であるから、毫末（ごうまつ）も誤りはないのである。そうして実験とは今日迄何万に上る私の弟子が、毎日何十万に上る患者の治療に当ってをり、其（その）治癒率の素晴しい事は、医学の一に対し百といっても、決して過言ではない程である。

右の如く驚くべき治病の実績が、此（この）地球上に出現したに拘（かか）はらず、全人類は治る力のない医学を無上のものと誤信し、病苦に悩み、長く生きられる生命を中途に挫折して了（しま）ふ其（その）無智悲惨なる現状は、到底黙視出来ないのである。此（この）様な末期的惨状を神として、そう長く放任して置けないのは当然である。といふ理由と来（きた）るべき理想世界の住民としての健康人を作らんが為との二つの理由によって、茲（ここ）に医学の迷盲を発表するのである。

Paradise on Earth

“Creation of Civilization”  written by Mokichi Okada in 1952

Paradise on Earth is the word derived from the Bible. It is called the world of ‘Miroku’ in Buddhism, a utopia in western countries and so on. All those meanings are, of course, the same and that is an ideal world. As I previously described, this is the purpose of God. Therefore, history until today is in the process of constructing such a world and at last, it is now to come one step closer to realising Paradise throughout many transitions. When it is expressed in a word, it is the world without disease, poverty and conflict. In those three most threatening disasters, disease occupies a throne. Therefore, needless to say, if the disease was cured, both poverty and conflict would be naturally solved.    In this sense, I thoroughly dissect and clarify the fundamental cause of disease in every single aspect. Since it is the truth based on God’s revelation and obtained from the results of experiments, it has no slightest mistake at all. Therefore, it is different from the theory of scientific research which has developed by using human knowledge in the field of medical science. Then those experiments have been conducted by more than tens of thousands of my disciples until today. They are treating more than hundreds of thousands of patients every day and their cure rate is high. It is not too much to say that the ratio of curing the disease of medical science to ours is one to a hundred.

As described above, although such astonishing results appeared here on the earth, all humans misunderstand that medical science, which has no power to cure disease, is the best. Therefore, they suffer from diseases and give up their lives on their way, though they can live longer. It is impossible to ignore such ignorant and miserable conditions. As for God, it is obvious that He can no longer leave such a terminally miserable state. In addition to this reason, he has to make people healthy so they can live in the coming ideal world. For these two reasons, I present the fallacy of medical science.
