In Open Your Mind, the story delves into the extraterrestrial origins of life, as six deities transition from outer space to water (Sho-ho), air (Hyakkin), and finally land (Ku-nu). These entities, each embodying a different element of the godai philosophy – Earth, Water, Fire, Wind (known as kaze in the Hyakkin chant), Sky, and Consciousness (termed 'Awakening' in the film's title) – play a significant role in the narrative.
