After God departed, the Founder Seiichi's mother faithfully visited Myojin shrine every evening at midnight for forty years, even when it was raining, windy, or snowing. When the Founder Seiichi was 5 or 6 years old, he would sometimes wake up at midnight and would go to Myojin shrine with his mother. His mother told Seiichi, "I come here to pray to God so that you will be a great man."
