Do big things while they are minuscule. (Ch.63)
This is the same as the previous sentence: "Plan complicated things while they are easy". (☞See Tao by Matsumoto video blog 63-6 Complicated?)
Please do not be fooled by the words "big / minuscule" and "complicated /easy".
It is about Bumo misho izen 父母未生以前.
You can accomplish any dream no matter how big it seems.
Don't doubt it.
If you doubt it, you will create resistance and your dream will not come true.
Reduce your resistance to materialize your dream.
How can you reduce it?
Use Reverse Thinking.
Instead of craving something, why don't you say:
"I don't have any dreams to materialize"?
Your hologram has no defects.
Don't try to add anything to the world, which is already perfect.

They are friends that console the hearts and souls of tired Japanese workers, students, and children, who more desperately than ever want to leave this reality for a virtual one.
