5:38 Even if you do not know any magical rites and sorcery, it will do to look ahead to the prosperous path in the future that is possible because My true teachings exist at Jiba.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 78

三八、法や術などは何も知らなくても、ぢばのある所には親神の真実の教があるから、それによって栄えて行く将来の道を楽しむがよい。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 35:53

Those of Nihon–who are in accordance with God the Parent’s teachings–may have been unaware of anything until now, yet they are full of promise and should look forward to what lies ahead. The Scripture indicates that a transformation is in store, whereby the traditional magical rites and arts will give way to the path of single-hearted salvation.
