３．The things Orbs bring

The things Orbs bring are different for people each. We,as the member of this project,are sure that the time when we talk about Orbs each other and share the Orb's experience or the value of Orbs becomes a reciprocal treasure.

For example,this project members consider that shooting Orbs is applicable to enhance an attention for not overlooking even small things and an interest to surroundings.

We have hepothesized with our multiple imagination about why the phenomenon occurs and have enjoyed our experiences of shooting Orbs for ourselves over ten years ago. These doings are done for not only shooting Orbs but also gradually broadening our horizons, our angles and our viewpoints for surroundings, our society and age.

・The process,"Art"; to broaden the intellect and to cultivate the mind.
It is not only to think of oneself but also to learn communications with others and to connect with respective information. It is risen above having a narrow and limited our own territory,and it is also risen above broadening our intellect and cultivating our mind in difference from other people with thoughts by surroundings and intelligences from societies,the world,the universe and the era.
Not to be alone, and not to make us alone. We are sure that contacting Orbs bring the relation as mentioned above. Then a primary hypothesis by assuming in person were getting cultivating through information by surroundings.
They are called "Art"and a process to elevate a certain matter and a certain behavior.

Above all things, it is to take an existent belief and to accept any hypothesises and imagination once. On the other hand, it is to search whether there is a better notion than any other hypothesises or not, seriously and repeatedly.
Luckily,in a current advanced information society,if we want, we are able to plunge into the sea of the world intellect that is multiple and exciting from the entrance of worldwide information retrieval"Internet" or various and worldwide books. The wisdom which comes from the world we used to be needed to travel and used to get some information is the archive of wisdom of human beings and we are favored with the circumstance of networks in any time and place,left and right to get the wisdom if we want currently.

The intellectual curiosity-it is like a child who wonders anything and says "What?" or "Why?"-may be called "the scientific heart". We are aware of blessing from the lucky era to fill with our intellect and our mindset.
On the other hand,any profuse information are thread and thrum in current years. The time has come to notice the quality of each information and to be needed to have a keen eye for valuable information to choose and concentrate with an admonishment.
In the learning attitude by ourselves, there is a strong possibility to change over from "known" that we assumed we already know to "unknown" that we have never known. When such things happen, the world we spend our daily lives changes widely. It means the world is proved that the existence accompanied with an active movement vividly against a circumstance which doesn't move at all because it's rigid.
We hope to learn the workings of human-beings from the past, to touch the sea of traditional information,to learn exactly what the traditional for our future is,to understand correctly, to stiring our strong and active power presently and to evolute the active network to a traditional herritage.

・The free dialogue at night,"Moon Society"
This project members have held meetings,called "Moon Society" at beautiful moonlit night in the last half a year for producing this website.
We have talked about concerning Orbs with multiple viewpoints, have felt each other and have investigated an optimization of our activities by our meetings. They were extremely interesting.
First,both people who didn't know Orbs and people who has already known Orbs were included in the members,and finally, the members are organized naturally with a variety people including who have experienced shooting Orbs and who has never done that. The area of our member's regular work are very wide such as IT consultant,professional at advertising agency, human resource development consulant, designer, anchor, crosscultural communicator, trainer, scientist and so forth. Then we have dialogued with each other with various and professional knowledge, and have found our project's bearings.

It is interesting to have been the following our growth steps in the process of thinking repeatedly and dialogizing about Orb.

At "Moon Society", timely reference books are introduced to the members as often as we have meetings, and Moon Society became a room that we talk as open-minded and free, and to be talked about the change each experience value with each time. Reference books are introduced at the following site.

・The things what our thoughts and dialogues inspired us
One member murmured inadvertently.
"I presently noticed one thing some time ago after I got to talk about Orbs with our members.
In these days, my chances of getting many offers and invitations to do something together from every person I met the first time incresed on business and in my private life. I'm wondering about it because I had no chance in past days. It's a happy occasion."

Apparently, his tone with these words and facial expression are full of more easygoing reception than the beginning of talking about Orbs, have an affinity between psychic distances facing each other and shows that it gives us riveting fascination and enterable space. We are glad the grace like that the best.

And another member touched "the sense of wonder" by Rachel L. Carson and stated the attractive thought.
"What is the value of preserving and strengthening this sense of awe and wonder, this recognition of something beyound the boundaries of huma existence? (omission) I am sure there is something much deeper, something lasting and significant. Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries og the earth are never alone or weary of life. Whatever the vexaions or concerns of their personal lives, their thoughts can find paths that lead to inner contentment and to renewed excitement in living. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."
He quoted, and he said, "If we understand other person by 'the Model of Heart' which is cultivated by own emotion experience inside or if we couldn't have learned about 'how I feel' from a child, that 'the Model of Heart' becomes insufficient. I think that social circumstances which anyone can't understand other persons is created in consequence."

When we think what the cause of that situation like we couldn't have learned is, we started thinking about the root cause in the society (society cannot wait --- society doesn't have time to go through feeling) which "efficiency" and "rationality" are attached importance to. Nowadays it seems that being attached importance to and evaluating "efficiency" that visible, extremely fast, large amount, tough and heavyweight thing is superior still prevail.

It will be really significant to think what the real "efficiency" for people living happily together now is.

In that regard Orbs will be definitely at the opposite end of the scale from above "efficiency" and "rationality". To be required remembering steadily the eyes trying to see invisible thing and "I" feeling what I feel them will not suit "rationality" at all judging from contemporary sociality.
However, a society full of "rationality" is stuffy and the past history teaches being in danger of even if energy to live, if own existence is expose to "rationality" and is illogical. To make breathable comfortable "space" to come back. We feel that Orbs have a power which brings in thing like that some contribution.

Though the word of "spiritual" is popular in present day, this word origin has the meaning of just "breathing". The member who is the original proposer of this project thinks a great deal of the following words from Carl Sagan that is a scientist and an original author of the movie 'Contact'.

Are our emotions in the presence of great art or music or literature, or of acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both. (omission) The cumulative worldwide buildup of knowledge over time converts science into something only a little short of a transnational, transgenerational metamind. (omission)
"Spirit" comes from the Latin word "to breathe." What we breathe is air, which is certainly matter, however thin.
Despite usage to the contrary, there is no necessary implication in the word "spiritual" that we are talking of anything other than matter (including the matter of which the brain is made), or anything outside the realm of science. Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spiritually.

We don't know when the day that 'what Orbs are' is found out by scientific demonstration comes.
However, we are sure it's really important that there is a new discovery with an impression in the process getting integrated insight by knowledge of all-around type.

・From Image to hommage
The main members constructing this website pay attention the keyword of "from Image to hommage" over thought like that.

We intrepidly converted the website like this into tangible forms from the thoughts that 'an imagination to the unknown' which THE ORBS-JAPAN.COM PROJECT cultivates becomes a target of hommage as a reciprocal mutual benefit and can cascade the things handed down to the future presently.

We aspire to that THE ORBS-JAPAN.COM PROJECT finally becomes not the thing vanishing instantaneously in present day but the sustainable thing weaving something should be passed to the next generation when the curiosity derived from Orbs as a symbol invokes the sense of wonder and becomes a target of each and every mental hommage. And we anticipate that own original Orb's charade which can be transmitted to the world might be born in the cultural gene of 'aesthetic of changes' and 'eye to sky' like Japanese elements inherited in an unbroken line from past in the future.

Orbs include not only the meaning of "balls" but also the meaning of "orbits".
We hope to conduct the orbit of thought about Orbs rightly.
We have learned to weave "Art of Orbs" with caution including all things of "what?", "why?" and "what happens?" through that existence in the talking process of viewing and thinking Orb's existence repeatedly, enhancing imagination and creative ability with each other, and dialogizing.
The members of this project aspire to hope to confirm the thing Orbs bringing in like that steadily over any border line and opening the door.

Please do let me hear your thinking.
