Death of the Yamato battleship, WW2 1945
Don Bradley May 14, 2026
Everything around us is alive. Fire, smoke, earth, air, water, spirit. Life within other life forms, fire spirit, inside the smoke. Everything. When your eyes are open, all is visible.
At the moment the forward magazine detonated, killing most everyone on board. The anguish of the Bushido fire spirit is visible in the cloud.
And because someone is going to ask what a Bushido fire spirit is, here's an answer. Very often, the spirit behind a thing, or animating a thing, as in this case, over 2000 men in the battleship, filled with a religious type emotional fire, known as the warrior code - Bushido. Which is the embodiment of the highest warrior honor of a Samurai. Upon their extermination, this energy, their collective lifelong passion of understanding as soliders, or sailors in this case, was released into the flames, taking shape in the smoke of a Warrior Samurai, anguish in death. His hair pinned back, a death grimace of the face, the collective death groan of all those dying men in the last moments of their life, reflected by the fire spirits.
Same thing when you go outside, for some people, with a fire in their hearts of some magnitude, and the clouds around reflect that spiritual inner state or FIRE of their heart, above them. Joyful praise of Dad, and the angels reflect it back in the sky. Or in the waters, or in the grass. That's just one example of this sort of thing; though there are dozens of other types expressions, for other types of spirit, a person can bring to the table. If you are a clogged up, living for the sensation of the meat sack witch, very little of that above you. Just clouds. Nothing else. Depends on you and what you bring to the table.
Okay?
Don
