You Are a Creator / あなたは創造者

Humanity, you are a creative being.
Born from the source of creation, each and every one of you is a creator.
Even at this moment you are creating yourselves,
And you will go on creating yourselves in the future.

Humanity, you are creators.
Yet the things that you have brought about
Are not what your intrinsic will intended.
They were created by a limited consciousness,
A consciousness ruled by confused yearnings and desires.

Humanity, by exerting your absolute freedom and creativity,
You once gave shape to negative thoughts.
Next, you fashioned those thoughts to suit your fancy.
Giving free reign to selfish desires,
You ran out in pursuit of personal gain
While threatening others,
Frightening them,
And driving them down into fear and anxiety.
In time, your negative thoughts expanded into conflicts and wars
Among cultures, nations, and religions.

Now, it is time to awaken.
It is time for humanity to create itself anew.
