The idea that bones have souls cannot be said to be wrong.
This is because Shinto believes that everything has a soul and that everything is a god. The "eight million gods" is a concept that has been passed down in Japan since ancient times. It is believed that gods reside in all phenomena, the sun, the moon, the wind, and everything in the world, from toilets to everything else. Furthermore, in more primitive folk beliefs, there is also a god known as "tsukumogami." "Tsukumogami" refers to the idea that spirits reside in tools used for a long time. Considering that these spirits are "tools used for a long time," they are thought to be the product of human thoughts. Since human thoughts reside in matter, it is not at all strange to think that bones, which have been at the center of the body for a long time, also contain the thoughts of the person's life.

Quantum physics is the cutting-edge study of vibrations, and it has revealed that the smallest units of matter are not molecules or atoms, but even smaller "elementary particles." Elementary particles vibrate weakly but constantly. These vibrations are called "waves," and it is now believed that all matter and phenomena in the world are created by these waves. While spirituality and physics may seem polar opposites, we are entering an era in which even mysterious spiritual phenomena can be explained by cutting-edge physics.

In quantum physics, researchers break down matter into smaller and smaller particles, gradually reaching a level too fine for the human eye to see. Therefore, machines are used to measure the size of the matter, and at the very end, a mysterious moment occurs. The thoughts of the machine measurer influence the data. If the measurer thinks, "There's probably no more," no waveform will appear on the machine. However, if they think, "There must be more," a waveform will appear on the machine. In other words, if you think it's there, it's there; if you think it's not there, it's not there. It's not the matter itself, but the consciousness of a third party that is projected onto it.

So, if you believe that the deceased's remains contain a soul, then a soul actually exists; if you believe that there isn't, then no soul exists. If you believe there is an afterlife, then there is one, and if you believe there isn't, then there isn't one. As someone who believes that there is only one truth and one correct answer, I even feel irritated when there is no one answer, but perhaps this is the result of brainwashing in the name of education, or proof of my foolishness existing in the third dimension.

"Forest scattering" is a natural burial where the remains are returned to nature. It is similar to "tree burial," which involves burial at the base of a tree, but is slightly different. While "tree burial" involves digging a hole in the ground and burying the remains in an urn, "forest scattering" involves grinding the remains into a fine powder beforehand and scattering them in the mountains. The remains are not buried underground, but rather scattered over the ground like the "Grandpa Who Made Flowers Bloom." In the wild, grass grows and bare ground is rarely found, so the white remains are not left in one place. The powdered remains gradually return to the soil as they are exposed to wind and rain. Furthermore, while in a typical "tree burial," the remains are exhumed and interred after a certain number of years, in the case of "forest scattering," the remains cannot be manually retrieved, so they rest there forever. Japan has a long tradition of "mountain worship," which views the entire mountain as a sacred object. ・・・

"Ocean scattering" is a funeral method that has become popular not only in Japan but around the world. Scattering ashes into rivers is not permitted in Japan, so this method seems to be gaining popularity. It is particularly popular as a way to say goodbye to a deceased loved one, and services such as chartering a motorboat or cruiser to scatter ashes offshore are popular. However, the drawbacks of this method include the fact that the ocean is easily affected by weather, which can suddenly result in a cancellation on the scheduled date, and the relatively high cost of chartering a boat. Our company, SANKOTSUYAMA, offers an "Ocean Scattering Plan," which uses our small boat, eliminating the additional cost of chartering a boat. All costs are included in the price. Furthermore, "ocean scattering" does not necessarily require the services of a specialized scattering company. Individuals are not prohibited from scattering powdered ashes into the sea. However, scattering ashes is prohibited near fishing ・・・
