ABOUT THE AUTHOR
MASTER RYUHO OKAWA started receiving spiritual messages from Heaven in 1981. Holy beings appeared before him with impassioned messages of urgency, entreating him to deliver Gods words to Earth. Within the same year, Master Okawas deepest subconscious awakened and revealed his calling to become a spiritual leader who is inspiring the world with the power of Gods Truths. Through these conversations with divine beings and through profound spiritual contemplation, Master Okawa developed the philosophy that would become the core of his teachings. His communications with Heaven deepened his understanding of Gods designs and intentionshow He created our souls, this world, the other world, and the Laws that are the very fabric of the universe.
In 1986, Master Okawa founded Happy Science, a nondenominational universal religion, to share Gods Truths and to help humankind overcome religious and cultural conflicts and usher in an era of peace on Earth. As part of the Happy Science movement, Master Okawa founded a political party, the Happiness Realization Party, as well as a private middle and high school, Happy Science Academy.
