Ep 459 - Korea - Become the Root Part 2
Korea - Become the Root 94-19-12-40 - January 27, 2022
Time flies so fast. I am preparing to go to Korea soon. I will leave for Korea on the 29th and arrive there on the 30th. I will need to have a ten day quarantine period. Then I can meet you in Korea in True Parents’ land.
Today I’d like to talk about “Korea -- become the root” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.
True Parents are not the True Parents only for Korea. They are the True Parents of humankind. We have to save the unfortunate nations. You are the people who have to help me. While True Parents are alive, you should earn the titles of filial child and loyal servant. Who will give you those titles once True Parents go to the spirit world? That is why I told you that this is your most blessed and happiest moment. Depending on whether you fulfill your responsibilities, you can become filial children, loyal servants and owners of Cheon Il Guk. Time flies. It is fleeting. you have to be able to stand proudly in front of True Parents and be eternally endorsed by them in the eternal world. Because of you and the burning heart you had when you first came into contact with God's Word in the early years of the church, this nation was blessed and that opened the way for the world's seven billion people to meet True Parents. (2014.11.20, Cheon Jeong Gung)
True Mother said the following: “While True Parents are alive, you should earn the titles of filial child and loyal servant. Who will give you those titles once True Parents go to the spirit world? That is why I told you that this is your most blessed and happiest moment. Depending on whether you fulfill your responsibilities, you can become filial children, loyal servants and owners of Cheon Il Guk.”
Then, when will we be able to earn the titles of family of filial piety, family of loyal servants, family of saints, and family of divine sons and daughters?
This content is in Family Pledge number 2. “Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to represent and become central to heaven and earth by attending the Heavenly Parent and True Parents; we pledge to perfect the dutiful family way of filial sons and daughters in our family, patriots in our nation, saints in the world, and divine sons and daughters in heaven and on earth, by centering on true love.”
How do I earn the title of “family of filial children” from True Parents? The title of “family of filial children” can be earned when the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Great Kingships, and Realm of the Royal Family are fully achieved centering on my family. The royal family is when all the blessed families complete their heavenly tribal messiahship mission and are registered in the Cheonbowon, they become the people of Cheon Il Guk and royal family of the kingdom of heaven.
This is the first condition how to become the family of filial piety.
Then, when will we be able to earn the title of loyal servants? It is a title that can be earned when a nation goes through many hardships and contributions, and makes many sacrifices and contributions in completely realizing Cheon Il Guk. It is not a title that can be earned if God’s nation is not realized.
That’s why no one has yet become heavenly patriots and royal servants. When we completely realize cheon il guk substantially -- we have one nation, one sovereignty, one people -- then True Parents will give us the title of “heavenly patriot” and “royal servants.”
Then, when will we earn the title of family of saints in the world? The title of family of saints is a title that can be earned when we have made great contributions so all humankind is restored and for the entire world to become the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. It is not a title that can be earned if you do not live for the sake of the world.
Humankind and the world are not yet restored.
Then when will we earn the title of divine sons and daughters in Heaven and on Earth? We can say that this title is given when great contributions are made in restoring both the earthly world and heavenly world (spiritual world) and substantially realizing the Kingdom of God on earth and in Heaven.
This is an important point.
The first thing we urgently need to do is to fulfill our heavenly tribal messiahship Mission and become families of filial children. Next, it is to help True Mother in making Korea into Cheon Il Guk and become loyal servants and patriots.
These are the basic things we need to do.
We must be able to accomplish all these things when True Mother is on the earth. The present time is the one and only golden age.
We are now living in the era of the golden time. It is really precious.
The messiah will not come again. True Father is already gone. True Mother is the last one. If True Mother passes away, do you think the third messiah will come again? They will never come again. They already laid the foundation. So, God’s providence of restoration is substantial. The last central figures are the True Parents of all humankind. They are our origin. This is God’s final providence. Can you imagine Mother’s age? Now her age according to Korean age, including her time of pregnancy of ten months, is already 80 years old.
If you were just born as a baby, you are living in a golden time from now on. If you are 70 years old, from 70 years old for the next 10 to 20 years with Mother, this is your golden time. I am 65 years old; from now on I am entering a golden time with Mother. This kind of golden time will never come again eternally in history. How precious we are! Let’s really support our True Mother.
How desperate she is to establish the substantial Cheon il guk through the unified Korea. The Washington Times, Tom McDevitt, Rev. Jenkins are working hard to help the Korean Peninsula providence. Let’s pray seriously.
An important event is coming to Korea in February. It is a very serious event. I think many great leaders, many current prime ministers are coming. (They?) are related to the 157 countries with diplomatic relationships (with both Koreas). Despite the Cronona(virus) situation, God’s providence cannot stop on the way.
This nation must stand tall in the world as God's homeland, and as True Parents' nation. Doing well in politics will not achieve that. Becoming a rich nation where companies make a lot of money will not cause that to happen. We must create a nation people want to visit. That is why I believe Korea should systematically develop a plan for tourism. We must do this. We should make Korea a place that the people of the world can come to, view its beauty, and meet and be educated by True Parents, who are the center of heart.
Isn't Switzerland the leading nation in the world when it comes to tourism today? The Swiss worked hard, despite their poor surroundings, to accomplish that. It was through forward-thinking people that Switzerland developed a train that went vertically up to the summit of a mountain, and installed cable cars on its most beautiful mountains. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could cultivate our surroundings, for example, the mountains you can see from Cheon Jeong Gung! While looking out at those mountains, True Father said, “Put a cable car on that mountain; make a coffee shop on that mountain.” Looking ahead, True Father showed us the way for Korea to survive in the future. (2014.06.14, Cheon Jeong Gung)
True Mother mentioned True Father. Recently I am becoming crazy because I really long for True Father more and more. Maybe you feel the same. His heart and mind, everything, centered on Mother and on the earth, I think he is really helping us -- only we cannot feel that.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Principle of Creation 13 - Life of Origin-Division-Union
I would like to mention again the life of origin-division-union. Let’s study the EDP content.
The process of God's creation begins when the dual characteristics within God form a common base through the prompting of His universal prime energy. As they engage in give and take action, they generate a force which engenders multiplication. This force projects the dual characteristics into discrete substantial object partners, each relating to God as its center.
These object partners to God then assume the position of subject partner and object partner to each other as they are prompted by the universal prime energy to form a common base and engage in give and take action. They then join together in one harmonious union to form a new object partner to God.
This whole process - in which out of God, the Origin, two entities are separately manifested and reunited in oneness - is called origin-division-union action.
Based on this content, let’s study Father’s word again.
The Logic of Origin-Division-Union and Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis
<261-165> How to explain the concept of antithesis? If there is an antithesis to origin it leads to the logic that God Himself is the subject of good and evil. That cannot be. Good is only good, there cannot be a conflicting concept. The thesis-antithesis-synthesis logic which they claim is completely Satan’s logic. Division from origin is for it to become bigger. Dividing from the opposite will make it smaller; it cannot become bigger. Fighting leads to downfall. Do you understand? It is destruction, and falling down from one’s original situation. The concept of fighting is like that.
<261-165> Therefore the Unification Church claims the origin-division-union logic. The origin divides and then unites again because it desires something bigger. Therefore the object of God’s love has to divide and become bigger for God’s love. In order to become bigger, because division and then union has to take place, God, the incorporeal subject feels happiness and impulse as the objective existence becomes bigger in front of the plus. Do you understand?
True Father clearly said that the purpose of the existence of origin-division-union is because it desires something bigger.
Desiring something bigger through origin-division-union is because it wishes for the multiplication of even greater true love.
Origin-division-unity is the subject and object becoming one centered on the origin and they reproduce another object. However, thesis-antithesis-synthesis is the logic of fighting each other and developing further. This is a theoretical contradiction. If we fight with each other, we fall down and don’t develop.
If the subject and object fighting from the origin was the principle, it leads to the contradicting logic that God Himself is also being that has both good and evil.
When the body and mind become one centered on the origin, and a husband and wife become one centered on the origin, another object can be created. However, due to the Fall, in the midst of conflict and struggle, human beings are gradually on the path to destruction.
<261-165> However when looking at you, you don’t have the body to perform origin-division-union. Your body can perform thesis-antithesis-synthesis. Union does not happen after thesis-antithesis, it can only breakup. The more you move, the more you fight, the further you will separate. In the end, you even deny God. You say there is no God. Upholding such a conflicting logic, you justified it and dreamt of world domination. If you fight, you will go down. Do you understand? 「Yes.」
On the other hand, God says harmonize, serve, live for the others. Therefore the bible says, ‘Blessed are the peacekeepers, for they shall be called the children of God.’ Do you understand?
This theory of origin-division-union is really great. Based on it we can harmonize the world and have a peaceful world.
Origin-Division-Union of Daily Life
<The Way of God’s Will Vol.13> Even the everyday life of family life consists of origin-division-union. In the morning when dividing, do it with happiness. Share, and when meeting in the evening, meet with happiness. Additionally, after coming back, talk about the day’s events with your wife and kids, consult, and fix your errors.
Our daily life is a life of origin-division-union. In the morning we have a meal together and share beautifully. Then we go to work, and some go to school. They relate to their own job and mission and then return and (have a) reunion. This is our daily life, the life of origin-division-union based on harmony, based on the multiplication of true love, based on peace. That’s why when we set up this life standard of origin-division-union, there is no conflict, no fighting, no destruction. This is the way to establish the kingdom of heaven based on origin-division-union.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: The Attribute of Blessing is Multiplication
1. The attribute of blessing is multiplication. Blessings grow the more you give them. If you do not share the blessing, it becomes smaller and smaller and becomes self-centered. We have received eternal blessings from True Parents. Therefore, we have a mission to make the blessings we receive greater. Blessings grow when we share them. Heavenly tribal messiahship is to share eternal true life, true love, and true lineage on behalf of True Parents. Isn’t it such a great blessing that we can give eternal life, love, and lineage on behalf of True Parents? God and True Parents first called me and made us the chosen people to give true life, true love, and true blood to all humankind through me. Therefore, it is a sin to regard the blessings I have received as only my own. It is a sin to not multiply the blessings I receive.
This is a key point. … One of the main attributes of the Blessing is what? Multiplication. That’s why anyone who receives the Blessing has the mission, your own personal responsibility, to multiply. If you do not multiply, your blessing becomes smaller and smaller, and finally you are self-centered. That’s why we say God is a God of love. He loves all humankind, the entire world. He loves history and the entire spiritual world, our ancestors. In order to save them, you need to have a certain process of God’s restoration. That’s why (God) needs to send the messiah. A few days ago we spoke about: Jesus came to the earth in order to give us life. No one (else) says this. (This is) not just simple life, but eternal life. True Father came to earth, and we are chosen guys by God, by True Parents and (have) received the Blessing not just for our own blessing. Heavenly Parent and True Parents want to save all humankind and human history and the spiritual world and all ancestors through me. This is the reason God gave the Blessing.
Do you know how much blessing Heavenly Father gave? He asked us to become tribal messiahs, to become (?) the messiah. “On behalf of me, instead of me (in my place?), you can give eternal life to the people, eternal love you can give to your tribe, eternal blood lineage(?) you can give to your people.” Wow! What kind of blessing (this is)!
Not only Jesus. True Parents came as the True Parents and blessed us to become the messiah. What is the mission of the messiah? He needs to multiply the blessing. How (can we) multiply the Blessing? That is our main job is to multiply the blessing. The blessing is salvation. The blessing is giving eternal life, eternal love and eternal blood lineage. What blessing … is better, is more valuable than this one? Wow!
We sometimes feel very heavy. “Oh, we have to become a heavenly tribal messiah. We need to witness to 430 couples.” We (may) feel that (this) is too big a job. “I have no money. I (would) need to spend time at this, but I need to survive.
Who gave this incredible blessing: You can give eternal life to people. Why? Because you are a messiah. That is why the position of heavenly tribal messiahship is of incredible value. That’s why True Parents are really the messiah; they multiply so many messiahs and then made them become saviors centering on their tribe, centering on their nation. That is why he (True Father) appointed national messiahs, tribal messiahs and family messiahs. Becoming a messiah means we completely inherit True Parents’ mission.
That is why any blessed couple who has received the blessing and does not multiply, I am telling you, spiritually you are in danger. You will get all kinds of accusation, persecution from the spiritual world. Why did God bless you? Not because of you. Through you he wants to save the world, save all humankind, save the entire nation. That is the job of the savior.
2. The more I multiply the blessing, the more my spiritual body grows. Blessing witnessing is about creating someone who wants to serve me as representative of True Parents. Have you ever met such an object partner? Have you met someone in your heavenly tribal messiahship area or life who longs for you? The words given to Blessed families today to become heavenly tribal messiahship are such unbearably great words. When dealing with my spiritual children, I must first make them feel like I am their older brother or sister. It is not yet a deep relationship like that with parents. In the beginning we are like a brother or a sister, and gradually you need to become the True Parents’ position to them. We need to make them feel grateful so they can say they were saved because of me while they were in the realm of death.
Witnessing is love. Do you have love? Then you don’t have any choice. Automatically, joyfully, happily you are crazy to multiply the blessing.
3. Witnessing does not happen suddenly. After making sacrifices with love for a long period of time, we can bear true fruits. For a mother to give birth to a child and raise it until they become self-reliant, it takes her unspeakable sacrifice, investment, sincere devotion, and love. To raise secular children who are not of my own lineage as my eternal spiritual children, more sacrifice, investment, sincere devotion, and love are needed than raising my own children.
Raising spiritual children is not a simple matter. You need to invest a lot of jeongseong, a lot of sacrifice, a lot of investment. Without that kind of investment and sacrifice and sincere devotion, if you want to get quick results, Father said, “You are a thief” because you just want to get it without investment.
4. You need to find someone whom heaven is preparing for. When we meet people whose spiritual level is high, they immediately recognize us. It must be the same as the Samaritan woman who came out to draw water from the Bible and when she heard the words of Jesus, threw down her water jar and went out to witness that the Messiah had come. We must see the woman as someone whose spiritual self was of a higher level than that of Jesus’ disciples.
5. When Jesus died on the cross, the thief on the right was a man who committed injustice, but the level of his spirit must have been high. The level of spirit that recognized Jesus dying on the cross and believed in him is not normal. People whose spirits are prepared like this can turn and change before “the Truth” in an instant, but generally, witnessing does not happen in an instant. You must offer jeongseong shedding blood, sweat and tears. It takes time to become spiritual children. You cannot grow your heart in a short period of time. It takes time, and it has to be the right timing. That is why you have to sow and nurture the seeds with jeongseong and devotion.
6. After 2,000 years of planting the seed that Jesus sown, the Second Coming of the Lord came to bear fruit. True Father said in his prayers that there are things that will be fulfilled in 2,000 years. Fallen human beings feel bad if their prayers are not realized immediately after praying. Also, waiting impatiently for the results to appear before your eyes is a wrong way of thinking for those on the eternal path. Therefore, we should not expect immediate results but offer endless sincere devotion. In the end, continuous devotion and investment will bear fruit.
7. Rather than the concept of witnessing, start by visiting Christian churches or your neighbors and greeting them. Make them remember my face. That is our first job, not witnessing first. Make them remember my face by visiting them often. If you offer jeongseong in this way, prepared people may appear right away, and some people may become connected after one or two years. Now that indemnity is over and we have True Parents’ victorious foundation, everyone's hearts are open. Sometimes they all come together. Now times hav really changed. God and the spirit world have the greatest interest in witnessing to save people’s spirits. If I have more interest in people's salvation than in the spirit world, the spirit world has no choice but to mobilize and help me.
I hesitate to share this. Since I came to Australia, one of the reasons why I came here (is that) True Mother asked me to take care of someone, one of the top religious leaders. His religion is Mandaean, Mandeanism. They originally came from the Middle East. He is the world president. He is really a great guy. Without listening to the Divine Principle, he attended one of our events. I think (it was) True Father’s Seonghwa Ceremony at which Wonju McDevitt read True Mother’s letter to True Father.
O my God! This guy shed incredible tears. He is spiritually open and immediately recognized who True Mother is. Then I met him and spoke to him more in detail. I brought him to a VIP seminar in Bangkok where we taught him the Divine Principle. He was so inspired. We asked Dr. Kittle and Australian leaders to take care of him, and I visited his home. I asked him to listen to more Divine Principle. He finished the Divine Principle series lectures from the beginning to the end. Then he decided to do the 40 day separation and 3-Day Ceremony.
Before that -- he had just come back from Korea -- he invited me to his house. Wow! I went there. It was a huge(?) house. He said that his people were about 20,000 in Australia and that they are very faithful people. All around the world there are 60,000 or 70,000 people. He just met Mother one time, and then he brought me to his own town. His temple is a small prayer room. He decorated it so beautifully! He always prays. Do you know what? He put True Mother’s photo, True Parents’ photo on his altar table. It was the main photo there. He was very inspired.
Recently I spoke to him about how he would educate his disciples. We spoke about how to educate his entire membership. He is sure(?) that 5,000 or 6,000 people can gather together. If there were no coronavirus we would already have done something. What I am talking about here True Mother is talking about.(?)
Sometimes they all come together. At such a time … he really respects me so much! He said that someday he wants to come to America. He wants to visit his own congregation. My hope and wish is that they all can receive the blessing. He is really a John the Baptist, a great guy. I spent time with him. An amazing time has come. How much he respects True Parents! There are many issues and things to discuss. They have their own doctrine and own thinking and own theology. There are many things to overcome. But (there are) really great signs(?). Really a different time has come.
8. It is our task to create a foundation that the spirit world can work on. The first foundation that the spirit world can work on is jeongseong and prayer. The second is to build a foothold by frequently visiting and greeting my neighbors, my tribe, and many Christian pastors around me.
In the beginning do not have the concept, “How can I witness?” Just visit and continually show your face. Pray and (offer) jeongseong continually. Show your face like (on) a Jericho walk and continuously and seriously pray. We can show our pamphlet and invite them to ACLC. The important thing is consistency. Don’t just visit them one or two times. Consistency is important. That is the second foundation. The first is jeongseong and prayer. The second is visiting and greeting continuously. The spiritual world (does not?) ignore(?) our jeongseong. Someday (there will be) the right opportunity to invite them.
Do not worry about them not accepting True Parents right away from the start. Just worry about how many tears I have shed for the people I am witnessing to, how much I care for them, how much I spared my life and invested for them, and how much I spared my life to offer jeongseong for them . Then, the heavens and the spirit world take care of the rest. If I only take my responsibility, Heaven is responsible for the results. Do not worry about the results of Heaven's responsibility. Do not become exhausted while thinking there are no results.
Keep going. Keep going. One Big Ocean(?) -- keep going. 50 State Tour, not just finish (after) one or two times -- keep going until the world falls down(?). Keep going no matter what. That is jeongseong. That is followup. Keep going no matter what.
That is why we need to be patient. We need to put a lot of jeongseong and heart. Then God will show the results. Don’t worry about the results. … That is God’s job. My job is jeongseong. Why are you worried about God’s job? Worry about your own job: investing jeongseong and visiting. Bringing the result, creating the result is God’s job. Don’t worry about God’s mission but about your own.♦
