Ep 471 - Asia Part 3
Asia 106-31-12-40 - February 8, 2022 - 1800 Couples 47th Anniversary
Today I had a beautiful meeting with many leaders. And then I met Peter Kim, Father’s main assistant before. He is recovering his health. (I also saw) the former continental leader of North America, Dr. Yang. Also, Dr. Jong Chang Choi(?). We had a meal together and shared many beautiful things. Also, yesterday I met Rev. John Jackson after he completed his seven days of quarantine and came to Cheong Pyeong. We had a beautiful lunch.
Then True Mother invited the major leaders to have a very nice suit to wear to the main event. Thank you, True Mother. I will wear it well on behalf of the North American continent. Very nice clothes, right?
Today I’d like to talk again about “Asia” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1. …
There is hope in Cambodia because there are so many young people. You need to study hard in college, of course, but the most important thing is keeping yourselves pure. Purity comes first. You need to set an example by practicing a life of living for the sake of others in your school, religious community or society. More than anything else, you need to let everyone in this day and age know about the Word, and open the way for them to approach True Parents and receive the marriage Blessing. True Father speaks to us every day, but he also reads his speech with as much solemnity as if he were attending the rally himself. He reads the speech at least twice a day when he wakes up in the morning.
The history of mission work in Cambodia is rather short, but I feel refreshed through you. If each one of you can carry out the work of saving 10, no, 100 people, and thus put down your roots and grow branches, this nation will be restored in no time.
There are people here from Thailand as well, and I have heard that Thailand and Cambodia use similar alphabets. You are all brothers and sisters under one God and True Parents. Wherever you may be, if you do your best, Heaven will rejoice. Young people in particular should think of getting married interculturally. That is the fastest way of creating one united world. (2006.06.05, Phnom Penh, Cambodia)
Victory Celebration for the Hopeful March Forward Rally in Cambodia, 11/21/2019, Koh Pich Theater, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
At the time I was there with all Asian leaders and brothers and sisters centered on the Asian summit in Cambodia.
From now on, you must work hard so the roots can go deep. I declared the Asia-Pacific Union in Phnom Penh. It shouldn't just end with that declaration, right? The roots should grow in Cambodia so that the neighboring countries become one and take root to bring about the realization of unification on the Korean Peninsula. I hope that you all will do your best.
God saw that this nation endured the most pain, and He is embracing this nation once again. Fulfill all your responsibilities and carry out efforts so that, thanks to you, Heavenly Cambodia can establish itself as a nation of Cheon Il Guk. There was also the case of Nepal earlier, but we cannot yet say that Nepal is Cheon Il Guk Nepal. Therefore, Heavenly Cambodia, in the lead as Cheon Il Guk Cambodia, will have to put down roots. In order to become the front-runner that does its best in the era of the Asia-Pacific civilization, from now on you must convey much education in every field.
People of Asia, your performance so touched me. Through your performance today, I felt that we will be victorious by 2020. Therefore, I pray that all the nations of Asia can fulfill their responsibilities by 2020 by uniting with President Yong Chung-sik [the FFWPU regional chair for Asia]. From now on, national restoration and world restoration will happen if you all do your part and accomplish your Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission, no problems will arise in achieving national restoration. I declared that I would do a world tour from now and that all civilizations would move toward the Asia-Pacific culture. Through the Asia-Pacific Union, I hope that Asia can do everything in its power to fulfill its responsibilities for the sake of unification on the Korean Peninsula. Please support them so that they can fulfill their responsibilities.
The 2019 Heavenly Asia-Pacific Summit Cambodia was held centered on the current Prime Minister Hun Sen and the government. (It) was the best conference on the Asian continent level in the history of our church.
When True Mother came to Cambodia from Africa, she was so happy. I think we prepared that Asia Pacific Summit so well. We were working fully with the government. The entire government was mobilized for this(?) event. Also, we mobilized the membership from Heavenly tribal messiahship areas. About 300,000 people had been blessed and (had) gone through the 43 day condition. I think Cambodia is one of the greatest providential(?) countries. Based on that foundation, when Mother spoke the government supported us, and local governments supported us, and we were doing the mission of heavenly tribal messiahship very well. I think Mother could feel something over there; she was so happy.
At this event, True Mother declared for the first time the Asia-Pacific Union in Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia. True Mother said that various countries in Asia (should) unite as one with the Asia-Pacific Union Declaration in Phnom Penh and do their best to bring about the realization of unification on the Korean Peninsula.
We suggested to Mother at that time, centered on the government of the nation of Cambodia… We need to have a good relationship with all the (governments with?) diplomatic relations with North Korea. Mother thought about that, and now it has become clearer.(?)
Hun Sen, the current Prime Minister of Cambodia, who hosted this historic Asia Summit, was impressed by True Mother and attended the 2020 World Summit and received a lot of love from True Mother. At that time I took care of Prime Minister Hun Sen directly. Mother’s expression of appreciation of Prime Minister Hun Sen was a very beautiful event.
Hun Sen, (the) current Prime Minister of Cambodia, will also attend this year's World Summit 2022, and he will come very soon. He will be the main guy to organize (the summit) and deliver the keynote address during the World Summit here. I think he will make a great contribution to the providence of unification on the Korean Peninsula. Let’s pray for him.
True Mother emphasized that Asia do everything in its power to fulfill its responsibilities for the sake of unification on the Korean Peninsula through the Asia-Pacific Union.
Recently Mother has continuously spoken about the era of the Asia-Pacific Union.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Principle of Creation 16 - The Life of 4 Position Foundation
When the origin, the subject partner and the object partner projected from the origin, and their union all fulfill the three object purpose, the four position foundation is established.
Based on this EDP content let’s study True Father’s word:
The Four-Position-Foundation Is a Form That Can Capture the Four Directions of the Universe Into That of Top, Bottom, Left and Right
<104-339> What is the title of today’s speech? [What I have] What do you have? It is the four-position-foundation. What do you have? You have the ideal of the four-position-foundation. Without this, the heavens and earth will be destroyed. The universe will collapse. I am moving forward in order to establish this foundation. For this purpose, I need a wife and children. The four-position-foundation is the single form that can capture the four directions (north, south, east and west) of the universe into that of top, bottom, left, and right.
Vertically, we need to attend God, True Parents, and physical parents.
Horizontally, we need to attend our spouses, Abel and my brothers and sisters.
Downwards, serving the children and juniors is the way to establish the four-position foundation.
In order to establish the ideal of the four-position foundation, we need an attitude of attending and serving, rather than the concept of controlling.
The Origin of Love
<106-57> You must have the firm resolution with your life to defend and protect the love in the realm of the four-position-foundation from infiltration. The most dreaded event is having this foundation of love destroyed. The four-position-foundation is the origin of love. It forms a single core and is enlarged to become the world.
Even if heaven and earth collapse, we need to protect the four position foundation. We need to protect the parents, couples, siblings and children.
Breaking the four position foundation is to fail to keep purity and fall, and for a couple to divorce due to conflict.
The biggest cause of breaking the ideal of the Four Position Foundation is lewdness, fornication. No matter what happens, in order to protect the four position foundation, we need to protect it from this lewdness.
This is Satan’s main point: to attack each human being through fornication.
It is Satan who breaks this four position foundation. The Four Position Foundation is the origin of love and the foundation of eternal happiness, so it must be protected no matter what happens.
You Must Achieve the Ideal of the Four-Position-Foundation If You Wish to Return to the Original Hometown
<147-231> What is most priceless to human beings, what we absolutely must know is our root. We must clearly know God, one’s parents, one’s husband, one’s children, and one’s siblings. After that everything is done once you clearly know the nation in which your siblings can live in the future. That is the first point.
Father’s word is simple but also important and the fundamental point.
The most important thing to establish the ideal of the four position foundation is to know God clearly.
Father said, we must clearly know God first. Without knowing God, you cannot form the four position foundation. In order to create the four position foundation, the most important thing is to clearly know God, our origin.
God is my eternal and vertical hometown. We need to know that God is the subject of absolute sex that is the hometown of my true life, true love, and true lineage.
Second, we need to know how precious our parents are. Our physical parents are visible Gods. Our physical parents are the eternal and horizontal hometown of my true life, true love, and true lineage. Our parents are the invisible (visible?) God who appear with human flesh.
Third, we need to know how precious our spouse is. Our couple has the position that represents God, our parents, our brothers and sisters, and our children. Also, the couple are representatives of heaven and earth. And the couple is a place to represent the dual characteristics of God. Only through my spouse true life, true love, and true lineage can be reproduced. The place where my couple becomes one is the place where God's direct dominion and indirect dominion can meet. The couple enters the kingdom of heaven for the first time through the sexual organs of becoming one.
Adam and Eve grew to the top of the growth stage as an individual course. Adam grew up as a tree of life. Eve grew up as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and (they) reached the top of the growth stage. Adam and Eve (were to) meet each other centering on God. Before God (can) bless (them), they need to go through the individual course. We call that God’s indirect dominion.
How can we enter God’s direct dominion? What is the difference between indirect dominion and direct dominion? In the indirect dominion we must absolutely keep God’s commandment: “Do not eat,” right? “If you eat it, you will certainly die.” That is the most important commandment under God’s indirect dominion.
Then what is God’s direct dominion? God’s direct dominion means “Please eat. I will bless you. You need to have a beautiful relationship between husband and wife.” This is different. How can we connect from the indirect dominion to God’s direct dominion? How? When man and woman become one and have a sexual relationship, man’s love organ enters the woman’s sexual organ. That is the door to enter God’s direct dominion.
That is why without First Night, without making a relationship between husband and wife, you cannot enter God’s Direct Dominion. This is through the husband and wife’s relationship. How beautiful! Who makes you enter the kingdom of heaven? Your spouse. Not your father. Not your mother. Not your brothers and sisters. Not yourself. Not others.
That is why the First Night is so important. In the First Night you enter God’s Direct Dominion from God's indirect dominion. Many do not know about this.
What is the difference between God’s direct dominion and indirect dominion? In the indirect dominion you cannot eat, you cannot have a relationship, you keep absolute purity. In God’s direct dominion you need to enter. Where? Through your spouse’s love organ. That is why the First Night is actually one of the most beautiful days. God is waiting for the first night. It would have been the time for Adam and Eve to enter God’s direct dominion. How exciting?
When the second generation receives the blessing, (their) father and mother call both of them. Before they have a relationship, as their parents you need to bless them and you need to celebrate before the First Night. Parents need to give a benediction. “Welcome! Tonight you can enter God’s direct dominion.”
The husband and wife relationship is that important. The couple enters the kingdom of heaven by becoming one through their love organs.
Fourth, we need to know absolutely our brothers and sisters. My brothers and sisters are representatives of all mankind. The expansion of the love of brothers and sisters is the love of the nation and the love of mankind.
Through loving your sister, your brother, your older brother, younger brother, older sister, younger sister -- through those kinds of relationship you can experience how to love all humankind. The relationship between brothers and sisters is really important. You can practice how to love the nation, how to love the world.
Fifth, we need to know the position of our children clearly. Through my children, the three object purpose and the four position foundation are completed. Through my children, the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Great Kingships are completed.
When can we complete the four position foundation and the three objects purpose? Through what? Through grandchildren.
So, Father said very clearly we need to know God, parents, husband and wife, children and siblings. This is simple but powerful content.
Recently, people talk about having masters and doctorate degrees after graduating from professional schools and universities but what are these degrees? Can you exchange it for your mother, wife or siblings? Can you exchange it for your parents? What do you call people who have something of utmost value and yet live without knowing its value? They are called ignorant people and good-for-nothings.
Who is the admirable and good husband and good wife? A true couple is the wife who has a husband, and the husband who has a wife that values the other absolutely as a representative of God and Parents. People should value God absolutely, value their parents absolutely, and value the children born from a couple that value each other absolutely. This is the four-position-foundation ideal as explained in the Unification Church. I am saying that this has not been fulfilled.
The most important 4 truths of the universe are how to become true parents, a true couple, true siblings, and true children. The ideal of heaven is to become true parents, true couples, true siblings, and true children.
Then, where is the place where these four truths are realized? That place is the family.
How many times do you put your education, fame, power, and money first and then destroy your family?
We need to always put our four position foundation, the structure of God’s kingdom of heaven, (first). Father says the most important thing in the world is True Parents, True Couple, True siblings, and True Children. That is everything. Our purpose of life is finally through children growing up, becoming a couple and finally becoming true parents. When you reach true parents, you have already completed. Going from children, siblings, couple and true parents, true parents is the completion. You have already achieved the goal, right?
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Good and Evil as Seen by Purpose
1. People who live with a clear vision and goal in life are very clear even when they dream. Those who are not that way and live without a purpose in life are not clear, so even if they dream, that dream becomes a silly dream. Good and evil are determined by what purpose you live with. Everything has a purpose. Where is purposeless love, where is purposeless life, and where is purposeless existence? Those who have a purpose always look at the purpose even if they are happy or sad. People who live for the purpose are not dominated by the environment. You get frustrated when you live without a purpose, but if you have a purpose, you will not be frustrated. When the purpose you have is certain in your heart, you gain the power of hope. Even if you suffer, you are proud of that hardship. However, those who have no purpose are good at making excuses and blaming others.
Today I am continuing from yesterday to talk about good and evil from the point of view of purpose. Yesterday I talked about the importance of vision, right?
A dream that was not clear when I was sleeping shows that my life and goals in life are ambiguous. My dreams when I fall asleep reflect my usual state of mind and consciousness.
If your dreams are unclear, “I cannot remember,” confused, this shows your standard exactly. Recently, what was your problem? What was your situation? What was the usual state of your mind and your consciousness? You can know what your situation is very clearly.
I need to have a clear vision and goals for my life. When your goals are clear, your life is full of energy and power.
2. A person who lives with a vision and goal in their life is full of confidence no matter where they go and what ordeal comes. They don't care even though they may look like a beggar externally. Wherever they go, they are confident and dignified. Why is that? This is because they have a clear purpose related to heaven and a clear purpose of living for others. If we are convinced with a purpose, it's like we've already arrived at the destination. This is because the firm belief to achieve one's vision and purpose in the future is contained in real life.
Therefore, once we have set a vision and goal, we must declare and act with conviction as if it has already been achieved.
This firm belief is very important.
A clear vision instills a certain belief, and a certain belief puts it into practice.
A person with a vision and dream with belief will surely have the power to overcome reality.
Even though you have vision, why don’t you have power? Because you do not have firm belief. How strong is your desire and, at the same time, how much do you believe you can achieve the goal? You need to have a firm belief and absolute faith. Then surely power will come.
3. When Jesus died on the cross, he said, "It is finished." What Jesus meant here is that he is convinced that his belief in what will happen in the future has already been fulfilled. Jesus established a tradition of life that even though we live in reality, we live with the conviction that the vision and goal have already been achieved. Today, do we live with a clear vision and belief about Cheon Il Guk? Do you live with a definite belief that Cheon Il Guk has already been realized? If you are faithful to reality with the confidence that your will and vision will definitely come true, that is a really valuable life. Such a person can overcome any ordeal and any temptation. Therefore, we should not be ambiguous people without a goal in real life, but become diligent people because of the goal.
Jesus said, “It is finished,” “I am done” and died. This proclamation of Jesus is the absolute assurance of spiritual salvation for mankind. “It is finished;” Jesus had confidence.
Even though he died on the cross, he had absolute confidence and absolute assurance of the spiritual salvation of humankind.
The spirit world cooperates only when we have absolute conviction that we can achieve this, not just dreaming. Visions and beliefs without certainty, without firm faith are dead visions and beliefs.
The reason that a vision is set but not realized is because the first vision is not clear. Second, there is no absolute belief that the vision can be achieved. When you set up a vision, you need to be full of conviction and full of assurance and full of firm faith.
Third, it is because they did not pay the price to achieve the vision.
Everyone can set up the goal and (have a) dream. The problem is (that) you do not pay the price, do not (invest) your effort. Then you will not realize your dream. That is why, number one, set up clear dreams in detail. Secondly, you need firm faith, absolute assurance -- “Surely this vision came from God. As long as this vision came from God, I will surely achieve that goal.” Thirdly, set up the goal and have firm faith, then day and night invest your effort and jeongseong. Pay the price; then you can realize your dream.
That's why the Bible calls it faith, hope, and love. Do you understand why (you need?) to invest faith and hope and love? When you have faith, you absolutely believe without doubting God. When you absolutely believe in something, that you can create something from nothing, you can have hope. You say, “I have faith,” but how can we know if we have faith or not? How can we know that you believe in God or not? Absolutely, you have hope. No doubt. If I truly believe in God, “He is my daddy; he is my father,” “I’m a child of God,” you have such absolute faith and hope. Faith and hope are the same thing actually.
If you believe without doubt, you will have hope. When there is hope, I put all of my things into the place where there is hope, and that hope is expressed as the fruit of my love.
Finally the result of love emerges. The bible clearly speaks of faith and hope and love, how to bear the fruit of true love.
4. In order for us to establish a parent-child relationship with God, we must have confidence and faith in treating ourselves as God’s. The Bible, in Matthew 10:32-33, says, “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.” This verse is centered on purpose. If a person thoroughly believes in God’s purpose of creating mankind as His children and believes that God is their parent, God will acknowledge that person as His child.
Many people misinterpret this content.
Faith is treating me as my Father's. I treat myself as God’s belonging. That is faith. If I acknowledge God as my Father, God also acknowledges me as his child.
“Heavenly Father, I truly believe in you. You are my parent.”
Then God acknowledges you, “You are my son, my daughter.”
But if I do not acknowledge God as my Father, as my parent, God cannot acknowledge me as Satan's child(?) as His child.
If you do not believe in God as your father, (then) you are related to Satan. As long as you relate to Satan, you are dominated by him. Then how can Heavenly Father recognize that “You are my son”? Your condition of believing in God as “My father,” (allows God) to acknowledge you as “My own child.” Faith is treating me (God?) as my Heavenly Parent.
Self-denial is not thinking of oneself as one's own, but treating me as a son or daughter of God. Without faith to treat me as God's, I will always act as Satan's father (son?).
If I do not see God as my own parent, then who becomes my Father? Satan becomes my father.
This bible verse is very powerful and (has) a very important meaning.
5. People who are always dominated by instinctive love in their body's environment are ashamed because the results occurred without a goal. What I'm ashamed of is that it hurt my heart and caused damage. But if I was praised by people around me, it means that the benefit of love was there. Then, how can I become a person who is praised? If you deny yourself and live and act through the central figure, you will be praised. Because I completely deny myself, there is not even 1% of myself (my assertion). If this happens, you will have a life 100% for the central figure, so you will eventually receive praise because you make your subject happy. In this way, behavior centered on myself is always embarrassing, weak, and makes me unable to raise my face.
6. Eve suffered a loss of love because she acted centered on herself. When anxiety and pain come to my mind, it is a sign from the heart that I have already changed direction in my relationship with Heaven and my central figure. Anxiety comes like this when the mind leaves its original position. After the Fall, the fact that Eve wanted to return to her heart before the Fall is something we can know from our experiences of anxiety and pain.
What comes to my heart, anxiety, and pain is that I have already left God's position. When you owe(?feel?) something, that is a sign you have already left God’s position.(?)
Therefore, the relationship between God and me spiritually, and the relationship with our physical parents… And you need to make sure your relationship with Abel is clear.
That’s why the vertical line is the lifeline. What kind of vertical line do you have? If your vertical line is with Satan, then you go to the evil side. If your vertical line connects to God, then you go to the good side.
The conclusion of today's Word can be either good or bad depending on who you are centered on and what purpose and vision you are centered on. Therefore, we must live with a vision and goal centered on God absolutely. Visions and goals that have nothing to do with God eventually lead to evil and (we?) perish.
Whatever we do, if my vision and goal are not connected to God, then finally I disappear and perish. Since Adam and Eve’s fall was already more than 6,000 years (ago), how many of them (humankind?) can enter the kingdom of heaven? How many understand God's will? Any nation, any individual, any family, any group, any religious group who has no vision, does not connect to God’s vision, finally, will go to the evil side and perish.
That is why we (need to) set up a very clear vision and a clear goal centered on God. The more we do something centering on God’s vision, our way will always prosper. God will protect us. As long as we have God’s vision, we can overcome any ordeal and trial and problem. As long as I maintain God’s vertical vision, he is the one who will protect me. As long as I relate to God’s vertical vision, I am sure that our future is very bright. Surely our dream and vision will come true.♦
