Ep 544 - Top Gun Training For Young Leaders Part 5
Top Gun Training for Young Leaders 179-24-14-40-544 - April 22, 2022
Yesterday we had an incredible meeting with True Mother. She came to the closing ceremony of our CIG Assembly. It was very beautiful. She gave some important directions to us, especially to America and also to me as well. I can share more about it next time.
Today I’d like to talk about “Top Gun training for young leaders” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.
What are your dreams? Of course there is the providential dream centered on True Parents. We all know that. But, for you, if you dream of receiving something from True Mother, what is it? You might dream of meeting me. In order to achieve that, you need to make results that other members will recognize. Each of you can accomplish your dreams if you expand your environment and influence. True Parents have arrived, fulfilling the hope for which the seven billion people of this world have, without knowing it, waited for during the past 6,000 years. Nowadays, many problems of race, religion and politics are arising around the world. No country can solve these problems, no matter how much money or power it has. In this current reality we are far from having a world of harmony. However, what will it be like if the seven billion people of the world come to know True Parents through you?
I have explained to you that you will be united through this 21-day training, despite big gaps in your ages and work experiences. Where people embrace True Parents' ideology, they can communicate with each other and unite. If such a time comes, the world will unite automatically. That is the kingdom of heaven on earth. If we create the kingdom of heaven on earth while True Parents are alive, won't the kingdom of heaven in the spirit world be that much richer? That is why you must resolve not to change the determinations you have made during this workshop. You must march strongly and proudly until you have created the kingdom of heaven on earth, a united world. Wouldn't it be nice if that happened? All the different races and religions are unaware of it, but in truth they have all been yearning for True Parents.
Throughout its 6,000 years of history, human beings have been like orphans; they have been in the wilderness. Now that people have found their lost parents, they cannot help but be happy. You need to be aware that in the Old Testament era, during Moses' time, Joshua and Caleb, who finally entered Canaan, were of the second generation. There are members from the first, second and third generations, but you must all unite. You can become one because True Parents are here. You can naturally become one when you have a heart to take care of others that allows you to share each other's hard work and sincere devotion, and when you practice putting true love into action. In that light, you young people are the Top Guns. (2015.08.02, Cheon Jeong Gung)
True Mother said that in order to achieve God and True Parents’ dream, you need to make results that other members will recognize. She said each of you can accomplish your dreams if you expand your environment and influence. Centering around our daily lives, the achievements of subjugating Cain through the exemplary lives and practices of our blessed families should increase day by day. This is creating the environment. This is the way to expand the foundation of God's kingdom of heaven.
Yesterday, at the closing ceremony of the leaders of Cheon Il Guk, True Mother allowed (us to establish a) Cheon Bo-won branch for the United States, and told me to focus on one church and build a model church in front of many people rather than taking a tour of the 50 states in the United States. So, when I return to the United States, I (will) try to do everything I can to achieve substantial results that can be recognized by all our family members and world, centering on one model church. What I decided to do after hearing True Mother's words was to create a showing individual, a showing family, a showing church, and a showing country.
I will discuss with our local leadership in America, and I will find one church where I would like to focus with you together. I would like to build a really model church, not just for America but for the world. Everyone, we need to show such an exemplary church and show it to the world!
True Mother said, “Where True Parents ideology is incorporated, communication is possible, and people unite. When such an era comes, a united world will come automatically. That is heaven on earth. Therefore, you must teach the Principle to those around you. Anyone who learns True Parents’ ideology will communicate heartistically. Gradually, a substantial Cheon Il Guk can be realized.”
True Mother said, “If we create the kingdom of heaven on earth while True Parents are alive, will not the kingdom of heaven in the spirit world be that much richer?” Heaven is not a place that already exists; it is something to be made.
Joshua and Caleb, and the second generation of the Old Testament era united into one, and captured Jericho, Canaan. Once a tradition has been established, the fact that it is a tradition is scary. From now on, in our Unification movement, the first, second and third generations must unite. Because True Parents exist, we can become one.
Blessed children and 1st generation naturally become one when the hard work and devotion of the first generation can be shared with them, and the heart to practice true love for the sake of others is manifested in action. When you bring this kind of environment and results of love, you become a top gun.
I love the name “Top Gun.” It is not just centered on second generation and third generation blessed children. Each of us must carry on the spirit of the top gun, right? We need to follow our True Mother’s direction. Everyone without exception, let’s become a top gun.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Principle of Creation 32 - Original Value and Our Lifestyle - Types of Value and Intellect, Emotion and Will
Section Four: Original Value
Let’s study EDP first.
Determination and Standard of Original Value,
Determination of Original Value
● The original value of an entity is determined through the mutual relationship between the purpose of the entity according to God’s ideal of creation and people’s original desire to treasure it and bring out its true worth.
1. The original value of an entity is determined according to God’s ideal of creation and God’s will.
2. The original value of an entity is determined when the subject and object have very clear purpose of existence for each other.
3. The original value of an entity is determined through people’s original desire to treasure it and bring its true worth.
● Hence an entity finds its true value when it participates as an object partner in a God-centered four position foundation by relating with a person through give-and-take action and by their union becoming the third object partner to God.
In order to have the original value of creation, the God-centered four position foundation must be established. Unless God is the center of the four position foundation, the original value of creation cannot be revealed.
And finally, it must become God’s third object partner.
In conclusion, the original value of God's creation is to be revealed where the four position foundation centered on God is established.
Where there is a four position foundation centered on God, it already reveals itself as God’s original value. This is very important.
Therefore, the original value of creation will be revealed when my individual mind and body become one to form the God-centered four-position foundation, and when my family and our couple achieve the God-centered four-position foundation, the original value of creation will be revealed.
Therefore, whenever I do something centered on God, it already shows as God’s original value. Do you understand what I mean? That is why God’s original value is always revealed through centering on the four position foundation. Who is the center of the four position foundation? God is the center. When we create and establish the four position foundation, that is already God’s original value. Whatever I do centered on God, that involves God’s absolute value. That is why establishing the four position foundation centered on my daily life is very important.
● Since the center of this four position foundation is God, it is God who sets the standard for its value. Since God is absolute, the original value of an object partner determined in relation to this standard must also be absolute.
Since God is the standard of our values, what I see, hear, and feel has absolute value when done with God. Therefore, my five senses must become God's five senses.
If you treat yourself as God’s, you will have absolute value.
Establishing a New Value Perspective
(Teaching material for Unification Thought)
1. A new value perspective must be able to unite the value perspectives of all religions and thought systems.
2. The unification of value perspectives is possible with a correct understanding of the attributes of the absolute, one and only God and His purpose of creation.
3. In other words, all acts of goodness are steps in actualizing the values of truth, goodness and beauty. The basis of value is absolute love, in other words God’s love.
A new value perspective cannot come from the fallen human brain. It must come from God.
In order to establish a new value perspective, we need to know God and His attributes.
The unification value perspective is the heart value perspective and the love value perspective. It is also an eternal, unchanging, absolute, and unique value perspective.
4. God created human beings as His object partners of love, and the universe as the environment in which human beings could live because of the impulse of His heart, and the universe was created in resemblance to God. The absolute value perspective can be established when these propositions are logically verified.
5. Absolute values are the values of truth, goodness, and beauty based on God’s absolute love (true love), that is, absolute truth, absolute goodness, and absolute beauty. Thus, this new value perspective is established on the basis of God’s absolute love.
Therefore, when God's motive and purpose of creation, such as how humans and all things were created, can be clearly and logically proven, the absolute value perspective is established.
6. The unification of the value perspectives means the unification of the various standards for the judgment of value (especially the value of goodness), making it clear that all virtues are simply diverse expressions of absolute value. Once the views of value are unified, we will come to see that all religion and thought systems emerged for the same purpose.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: To Move Cain is to Move God
1. One of the most difficult things in our church today is the life of attendance. Once you return to God, you must completely deny yourself and lead a life of attendance to Heavenly Parent, True Parents, and your Abel. Then on that basis, many good spirits from the spirit world will cooperate. To become a victorious person, I have to become a person on earth whom Cain can attend. People who are caught in the condition of unbelief while living their life of faith usually obey when it seems like they will benefit. After making a decision and starting out, they can’t endure until the end, and resist when they get to a place where Heaven can truly live together with them. Such people are also unable to create harmony, and since God cannot be with them, they have nothing to do with the victory of the heavenly world.
The answer is simple if you want to always create harmony and become one with each other in human relationships. What is the answer? It's just that they serve each other. But many people don't practice it.
One of the most difficult things in our church today is the life of service and attendance. When the life of self-denial begins, the first action we take comes from the heart of service.
Therefore, we must lead a good life of service and attendance to Heavenly Parent, True Parents, and my Abel. When an environment is made where Cain and Abel become one, many good spirits from the spirit world will cooperate.
Where there is complete unity between Cain and Abel, Abel truly moves Cain’s heart and moves Cain. Then Cain naturally surrenders to Abel.
When you create that kind of environment, I am telling you, the Holy Spirit will come down and cooperate with you.
This is the formula of our life of faith.
To become a victorious person, I have to become a person on earth whom Cain can serve and attend.
What we should not forget in our lives is that moving Cain moves God.
The ultimate goal of our life of faith is not just that Cain and Abel do not conflict with each other and just give and receive well. Abel's mission is to move Cain. Jacob touched and moved the heart of Esau, Joseph moved the hearts of the 11 brothers, Jesus moved (the heart of) the robber on the right, and True Father moved the heart of Kim Il-sung.
What is our mission? Our mission is for parents to move children, for children to move parents, for the husband to move his wife, for the wife to move her husband, for Cain to move Abel, and for Abel to move Cain.
Love is moving others. Love is touching others. No touching, no moving, just good give and take -- that is not true love. Where there is true love, there is always touching and moving someone. Do you understand what I mean. Love is touching. Love is moving.
Since I realized this point, Wow! My life of faith really completely changed. (It is) not just good give and take: “How are you?” “Good morning” “I love you.” (It is) not just lip service.
These words really impacted me. Love is moving and touching someone’s heart.
What is the mission of humans? To touch and move God’s heart. What is Abel’s mission? To touch and move Cain’s heart. What is Cain’s mission? To touch and move Abel’s heart. How much did you have this kind of experience? How much did you touch someone’s heart? As a husband, how much do you touch your wife’s heart? As a wife, how much do you touch your husband’s heart? As parents, how much do you touch your children’s heart? As children, how much do you move and touch your parents heart?
Our mission is what? Loving. What is loving? That is moving and touching someone’s heart.
Our spirit body grows the fastest when we are touched and when we move someone.
Why was Jesus so great? When he was crucified on the cross, he really moved the right-hand thief’s heart. “Jesus! Jesus! You are my lord!” (The right-hand thief) completely surrendered. Even Satan completely surrendered. Even God completely surrendered. He had no choice. He had to resurrect Jesus again.
When I touch someone’s heart, this is the fastest way (that) my spirit body can grow very quickly.
2. Human beings are responsible for making God victorious. If the people on earth do not lead a victorious life, God cannot be set free from a place of injustice. Also, you must know that there is no way to remove your original sin. The repentance of the returning prodigal son may have washed away his sins, but it is difficult to heal the wounds in the parent’s heart. It cannot be possible without a period of a steady life of attendance without grudges and complaints. That's why it's so important to lead an unchanging life.
The way to liberate God is not just through prayer and jeongseong. Our life of faith itself should always be a life of victory and to move those around you.
You need to really start. How can I move the closest person? You cannot touch and move the closest person? Where can you do that? Who is the closest person? Who is your neighbor? Your neighbor is your wife, your husband, your children, your brothers and sisters in the family, your parents, your work colleagues. Where should we practice? When I go to the witnessing place? No. You need to practice with the closest person. You need to begin from there.
Human beings are responsible for making God victorious. If the people on earth do not lead a victorious life, God cannot be set free from a place of injustice.
3. We know God's circumstances and heart through the Principle. How can we heal the heart of God that has been wounded by the Fall? It can be healed as the children on earth do not lose their motivation of faith and continue to lead a victorious life while creating harmony with others. Therefore, we think we must go to a position where God can be with us.
Because everything went wrong starting from the relationships with God and other people, the way to relieve God's sorrowful heart is first, we must consider our relationship with God as (our) life. Faith in and attending God should be our first commandment.
What is our first commandment? My first commandment is attending and serving God. This should be my top priority. Serving and loving God should be my lifeline. This is the most important commandment.
Second, our human commandment is to move those around us starting with Cain. It is to achieve harmony in the relationship between Cain and Abel.
You must never forget what your mission is. My mission is not to hurt God and Cain. Not just good give and take. Not just fulfilling my portion of responsibility. What is my mission? This is today’s title. To move Cain is to move God. To move the closest person is to move God’s heart. Wow! If you know and practice this, how beautiful it will be. My job is what? Creating that kind of heart: How can I move God’s heart, how can I move our brothers and sisters’ heart. How can I move Cain’s heart. Let’s start. How can I move my 3 spiritual children? Through the restoration of 3 spiritual children when you touch their heart and mind, they will absolutely follow and obey you and practice what you show them.
Our main mission is to move someone’s heart. But not just someone’s (heart), God’s heart, True Parents’ heart.♦
