Ofudesaki chushaku
Note for 12:67 and 68:
Because Oyasama was physically a human being, there may be a tendency to take what She says as something coming from an ordinary human mouth. However, this verse is conveying that Oyasama is the Shrine of God the Parent, and all the matters that are spoken through Oyasama’s mouth are the words of God the Parent and that Oyasama’s mind is the manifestation of God the Parent’s mind.
