Shijima is a Reason, a powerful inner philosophy that encompasses a set of natural laws, based on stillness and oneness, influenced by Buddhism and the concept of Nirvana. It is a world of perfect harmony, where there is no 'self' whatsoever, and no passion to cause dissent, conflict and destruction.
Individuality is
eradicated, and replaced with a collective inner peace where everyone is equal to a god, all working together as cogs in the giant, stable machine that is the Universe. This Reason is most closely
associated with the Law alignment of previous Shin Megami Tensei games.
