anyone have experience with kotodama?

[SomeBloke]

I tried to research this on the net once - very little info available.
But, you could try searching for 'kototama' as well, and maybe 'omoto kyo'

However there is site here I just found:
http://www.kototamabooks.com/

And I had this old quote on my PC.


Mototsumitama (literally translated as the Great Basic Metaphysical
Substance of being) of the one spirit, four souls, three elements, and
eight powers, make up the Great God. The Great God is the living infinite
mother who has spread spiritual and physical prosperity throughout space.
Space was once empty, with no Heaven and no Earth. Suddenly a pinhole
opened up in this empty space. This pinhole was the very origin of
existence. From this hole, Ki of the Great God, which was finer than steam,
smoke or mist, gradually came forth to form a circle which surrounded the
pinhole and gave birth to the Kotodama of Suu. This birth was not only the
birth of the physical world, but of the spiritual world as well.
The universe then began its natural respiration taking a deep breath of
expansion, and as it expanded sound flowed from it. This original sound was
the kotodama Suu. Suu then continued expanding in four directions and
formed a pulsating circle. When Suu has developed it turns into U. The
constant work of Suu produced the kotodama U.
The kotodama U, which is the origin of spirit as well as substance,
divides into two and works as opposing forces which function
independently. Each of these two functions has its own Mitama (spirit). One
of these forces flows up and generates the kotodama A, while the other
function falls to Earth and creates the kotodama O. With A going up and O
going down an opposing force is created, and held together by Ki, an
attraction is formed.
Takamagahara ( high planes of heaven ) represents the universe. It teaches
us what the law and order of the universe should be and how the gods reside
within it. Everyone s family represents Takamagahara and each individual
has Takamagahara within him\herself. All the elements of this universe
constantly breathe and flux and live every moment of our lives. In other
words, Takamagahara is the great celestial globe which has successfully
accomplished its formation and wishes. It is the very origin of creation of
heaven and earth. To come to understand the wishes of Takamagahara and
pursue the tasks of the gods to satisfy their will is Aikido.
Clarify the Ki of space, the Ki of the self-curdling island (Onogorojima),
the KI of the universe, and all the ways which mitama come into your body.
Make all the breathings of the universe match your own. Use these lines as
the law, and make them accomplish the mission of the universal heaven. The
basic principle to pursue in each direction is called Aikido.
Aikido should be the doctrine endowed by god to clarify the workings of the
universe. The past, the present, and the future are the routes which the
universe should follow. This includes the human body, as it has the
universe within it. Purify the universe and harmonize it with the three
worlds of the manifest, the spiritual, and that of the gods. Following this
continually is Aikido.
The core of the universal dynamism consists of 75 sounds. Each one of these
sounds obeys three rules: triangle(Iku-musubi), circle(Taru-musubi), and
square(Tamatsume-musubi).
The kotodama, A, O, U, E, I, manifesting the mind of the Founding god( Kuni
no Katachi no Kami), interacting with the neutral god (Toyokumo no Kami),
the functions of the Five gods came into being.
When the eight powers interact with each other, the light, pure ones went
up to the heavens, and the heavier, impure ones fell to the Earth. Each
time the heavens and the Earth interacted, some functions fell to Earth,
expanding it. This was done by the god of Tamatsume-musubi. With the three
elements, Iku-musubi, Taru-musubi, and Tamatsume-musubi, influencing the
process, the universe grew and continues to grow today. Aiki is this
interaction and use of kotodama. It is the one spirit, four souls, three
elements, and the eight powers.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, one hundred, one
thousand, one million, and the great Mitama of all These words represent
the one spirit, four souls, three elements, and the eight powers.

hi! i know many of you have experience in reiki, but im wondering if anyone's experienced with kotodama. i recently got interested in it but there's little of it on the net and no teachers in my area []
so far i know 4 mantras but i only use one regularly to help prep myself before i try to project because i find it calms my mind and puts me at peace with things.

anyways, im just curious if anyone that's in this forum practices and could teach me a little bit about it or help me out a bit[]
