Ep 472 - Asia - Mongolia
Asia - Mongolia 107-32-12-40 - February 9, 2022
(Response to sharing) I think our American movement starts from Morning Devotion. Whatever we do if we start with Morning Devotion and jeongseong, everything goes on very well. One of my wishes now when I do Morning Devotion … live in America may be 250(?) people (attend), Including Region 5 maybe 350 or so. Mother emphasizes the number 430. I want to create a beautiful atmosphere so at least 430 members can join Morning Devotion live. Including couples we may have around 350 (people now). I think we can set up a beautiful Morning Devotion.
In my 46 years of experience in the church, whenever I offer Morning Devotion, many things go very well. Especially incredible financial blessings come. The spirit of witnessing increases, and new members come. Always money fortune and the fortune of increasing membership and everything go very well. Of course, we are concerned about the entire political situation in America, but we start from Morning Devotion. When (we) create that kind of continental level of jeongseong and heart, gradually Heavenly Father can guide us about how to resurrect and revive America. I am so grateful to each of our American brothers and sisters who join and participate in this beautiful Morning Devotion. Thank you to each one of you.♦
Our main event, the World Summit, is coming very soon. Our American team, Tom Walsh, Tom McDevitt, Rev. and Mrs. Jenkins and John Jackson and Franco (Famularo) are really united and preparing very well. I am very proud of the American team. They are really helping the Korean Peninsula providence. I love the names Tom Walsh, Tom McDevitt. There are many Toms. Maybe I should change my name to Tom Yong! Or Tom Jenkins? Or Tom Jackson? I really love and am proud of UPF staff members.
Today I’d like to talk about “Asia - Mongolia” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.
I heard that Mongolian women are strong, that there are excellent women who surpass men in various aspects. You should not allow any of your relatives anywhere in this nation to remain ignorant of True Parents. The time has come to show that women are more brilliant than men. Therefore, Mongolian women should work even harder, not only to take the lead in restoring this country, but also to find all means by which it's people can be grafted to God as quickly as possible. Men too should get themselves moving. It is said that men are heaven and women are the earth. Would it do for heaven to be under the earth? You need to invest yourselves with the resolve to restore this nation. If you take part in mother-child cooperation together with True Parents, you will definitely succeed. It is now time to achieve results. There is only one way to make your dream come true. You can find that way if you seek it through the foundation laid worldwide by True Father. Depending on how keen you are to live for the sake of the providence and this country, your efforts will bear fruit that much more quickly. (2006.06.17, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia)
You probably know that even in the secular world, when you set a goal, you need to make effort 10 times or even 100 times more than others in order to achieve it. You should set the goal of informing everyone around you of these teachings and make an effort to succeed in doing so. In particular, you need to do your best to bless everyone in your clan. Keep in mind that how quickly this country will develop depends on how well you carry out your work. If Kyrgyzstan could rise up through the Word, there would not be a greater blessing than that. In the past, Kyrgyzstan lived without a name because it was oppressed by the Soviet Union, but if you want to make sure that such a thing never happens again, you need to let the entire nation know of True Parents. The rally held on June 18, 2006, cannot be said to be satisfactory, but through it, we have sown our seeds. You need to do your utmost to make sure that these seeds bear rich fruit as soon as possible. Nothing could be more worthwhile than that. There is no time. Therefore, you need to present exceptional results to True Parents as quickly as possible. (2006.06.18, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan)
When it comes to Mongolia, True Parents founded the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace (MPFWP) and tried to tie humanity together as brothers and sisters through the commonality of the Mongolian spot. Let's study True Father's words on this.
Founding the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace
<Chambumo Gyeong, P. 914> On September 23, 2004, True Parents founded the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace (MPFWP) in Seoul. This organization is a global federation for peace that brings together people with Mongolian ancestry, who make up 70 percent of the world’s population.
In their founding declaration, True Parents stated, “Human history has now ushered in the era of great transition, when the barriers of religion, ideology and so forth will be abolished. We are founding the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace in order to take the lead in realizing a world of peace through reconciliation and cooperation, interdependence, mutual prosperity, and recovery of the original standard, based on the values of true love and true family.”
They went on to encourage people with Mongolian ancestry to come together in solidarity, fulfill the mission of pioneers, and bring all people of the world to be saved and blessed in marriage. Having something in common brings people together and unites them.
Therefore, True Parents intend to connect humanity as brothers and sisters through this attribute of Mongolian ancestry that so many people share. In particular, True Parents said that these people are central figures who need to inherit and preserve God ’s lineage of goodness in its pure form. They called on the Mongolian Peoples ’ Federation for World Peace to fulfill its mission as the firstborn son.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Principle of Creation 16 - The Life of 4 Position Foundation (Final)
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.
1. The four position foundation is the root of the numbers four and three.
2. The four position foundation is realized by God, husband and wife, and children as they complete the three stages of origin-division-union action; hence, it is the root of the principle of three stages.
3. As each of the four positions takes on three object partners in fulfilling the three object purpose, in total there are twelve object partners; hence, the four position foundation is the root of the number twelve.
4. The four position foundation is the fundamental foundation of goodness and the realization of God's purpose of creation.
In order to establish the four great realms of heart and the three great kingships in one family centering on the four position foundation, at least 12 people must live together. Heaven protects the family when grandparents (say(?) 2), parents, at least 3 children -- some of them may have started family already -- and 5 grandchildren minimum live together.
The total number would be 12. This experience is very beautiful.
At this time I went to Australia, my home. Now including me, 12 family members are living in my house. There is not enough room and space. Even though it is a little crowded, this is really a happy (situation). Of course, if there are more than 12 people in a family, then the children need to become independent from the stable children’s family and reproduce by establishing the four position foundation centered on their families.
We need to create that kind of environment, show the model in our family and then gradually the first child’s family and then the second child’s family can go to another area to create another family four position foundation. That is the way to practice the Divine Principle. Also, Father says that the four position foundation is the fundamental foundation of goodness and the realization of God’s purpose of creation.
Perfect goodness is the establishment of the four position foundation centered on God. Failure to establish the four position foundation is not a perfect goodness.
I am really inspired by Father’s explanation. You have to be a good person, a true person. That is really vague. What does goodness mean? Father shared clearly what perfect goodness means. Perfect goodness is not just practicing your own character. You may be doing very well and helping others and giving something. You may have a good morality and good character. It is not like that. … Father is saying that perfect goodness is the establishment of the four position foundation centered on God. The failure to establish the four position foundation is not perfect goodness.
Then, why is it a sin to fail to establish the four position foundation? This is because, in the first place, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven if we have not established the four position foundation, which is the ideal structure of true love. The second reason is that it(?we?) doesn’t become the object of God's joy and filial piety, but rather become the object of God’s worry and concern.
Therefore, failure to establish the four position foundation will result in disobedience to God and one's parents, so it is a sin.
If you cannot establish the four position foundation, that is not perfect goodness. It will make God worry so much. Father said that is a sin.
Evil is not just sinning. Evil is the failure to establish the four position foundation which is God’s purpose of creation.
Of course, there are some indemnity cases. For example, Jesus.
Jesus did his best on a personal level.
He established the four position foundation on a personal level: Centering on God, mind and body and he reached individual perfection. That is the individual level, but the structure of the kingdom of heaven is not based on an individual level, but on a family level.
So, even though Jesus did his best personally, but by failing to establish the four position foundation on a family level, Jesus Himself left God with an eternal bitter heart. How heartbroken must God be when He sees Jesus like that!
Jesus came as God's only begotten son. What were his wishes before he died? What was one of his strongest bitter feelings? He came as the only begotten son, but he could not establish a family. He was the one who (was to) carry on God’s pure, direct blood lineage, but he could not multiply that blood lineage. Jesus did not have even one descendant because he died. He could not marry.
Because of his sacrifice -- this condition of indemnity -- he was really miserable. He is living in the spiritual world not just one day, two days, 100 days, 1000 days, not one million days. Forever. When Heavenly Father looked at his only begotten son Jesus, how painful his heart is. How much Jesus’ mother Mary regrets (what she did). How much her heart is aching. She (may) say, “I did not properly arrange for Jesus’ marriage.”
Father shared that Jesus, before dying and going to the cross, asked his mother three times to arrange his engagement and marriage. Three times! Mary could not arrange that, So Jesus had no choice but to leave home and start from the bottom. How important it is to start the four position foundation! To Jesus and God, it is their great pain that Jesus, as the only begotten Son of God, left without leaving a lineage of God.
All of your children, family members, no matter what, we need to educate them properly. Let them establish the four position foundation. How important it is, not just for them. If they cannot establish the four position foundation, it becomes God’s agony. God will feel a more sorrowful heart. That is a sin, to make God worry. That is unfilial piety. Now we know how important the four position foundation is.
5. lt is the fundamental foundation for the life of all beings, providing all the forces necessary for their existence and enabling God to abide in them.
6. Therefore, the four position foundation is God's eternal purpose of creation.
If we establish the four position foundation centered on God, it becomes perfect goodness and becomes the root of happiness and the forces (?of existence and multiplication?). By stabilizing the four position foundation, it becomes the basis of the power that God can directly operate and eventually exist.
If a couple is married and has no children, there is no power. Even if you have children, you lose power without parents. Even if parents and children exist, if there is no God at the center, the power will be lost. When a couple lives together and one of them dies, they lose their strength. Each of the four positions which are fulfilling the four position foundation is the most essential position and number.
Father discovered the four position foundation. It is really incredible.
The Four Position Foundation Is The Root Of The Number Four
Adam and Eve, the first human ancestors, should have become the perfected entity of the number four by completing the four position foundation. However, due to their Fall, they were invaded by Satan. Thus, the central figures who were called in the course of the history of the providence of restoration to restore this through indemnity, had to complete an indemnity period of restoring the number four.
That is why in the Bible the 40-day flood judgment centering on Noah’s ark, Moses’ 40-day fast, the 40-day spying period of Canaan, Jesus’ 40-day fast and 40-day resurrection, and other incidents were all indemnity periods for restoring the number.
All things in creation must go through a three-staged growth period and fulfill the three object purposes in order to attain unity and form a four position foundation centering on God.
In the natural world, many things appear in threes. It contains three kingdoms: mineral, plant and animal. Matter exists in three states: gas, liquid and solid. Most plants are composed of three parts: roots, branches or stems, and leaves. Animals consist of head, body and limbs.
Each of the four positions in the four position foundation goes through the three ordered stages of the growing period to perfects the numerical growing period for the number twelve, thus fulfilling the twelve object purpose. Furthermore, each of the four positions in the four position foundation takes on three object partners in fulfilling the three object purpose. In total there are twelve object partners; hence, it is the root of the number twelve.
Consequently, Adam’s growing period was also a period for perfecting the number twelve. However, due to the Fall, this was invaded by Satan. Thus, the central figures who were restoring this through indemnity in the historical course of the providence of restoration had to complete an indemnity period of restoring the number twelve. Without restoring through indemnity the “foundation of faith,” the “foundation of substance” for restoring the perfected entity of the number twelve could not be formed.
For example, the period for Noah to build the ark was 120 years, the providence of restoration of Canaan centering on Moses was 120 years, the period from when Abraham was called until Jacob laid the indemnity condition for restoring the rights of the elder son from Esau was 120 years. Furthermore, the 120-year era of the Unified Kingdom in the Old Testament Age, the 120-year era of the Christian kingdom in the New Testament Age, and other periods for restoring this period through indemnity were all indemnity periods for restoring the number twelve.
The four position foundation is realized by God, husband and wife, and children; they complete the three stages of origin-division-union action. Hence, the four position foundation is the root of the principle of three stages. The four position foundation, which is God's purpose of creation, was to be completed through a three-stage process: the origin in God, the marriage of Adam and Eve, and the multiplication of children.
In order to establish the four position foundation and carry on circular movement, a being must first perform the three-stage origin-division-union action and fulfill the three object purpose, with each position engaged in interaction with the other three. Accordingly, everything reaches perfection by passing through three ordered stages of growth: the formation stage, the growth stage and the completion stage.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: The Right Awareness of Satan
I approach this in a different way. Please listen carefully. The right awareness of Satan is really important. Many people misunderstand the meaning of Satan. If you understand this content, you can practice it more practically in your daily life.
1. We will learn about the existence of Satan, the archangel. Satan, without a doubt, exists and he is the culprit who caused Adam and Eve to fall. However, it is important to be aware of his existence in our sphere of life centered on myself. Depending on how my standpoint is, Satan may or may not emerge. If I go on the Principled path, Satan cannot emerge. If I go on the Principled path, ultimately, I will resemble God and become God. However, becoming Satan means that I am going on an unprincipled path. If I go on an unprincipled path, Satan will emerge. If my object partner, who I am supposed to principally dominate, instead dominates me, I become Satan. Adam and Eve should have had dominion over the archangel, but it was reversed and they were dragged by Satan and they became Satan.
If I go on the Principled path, Satan cannot emerge. If I go on an unprincipled path, Satan will immediately emerge. Depending on what my standpoint is, Satan may or may not emerge.
Who creates Satan? As you can see, I myself create Satan. Therefore, I can be either God or Satan. So, don't blame anyone. It is important not to think that Satan exists separately, but to be aware that Satan is within me or you. Satan does not simply drop from the sky, from somewhere, from the spiritual world.
When I am completely one with God, Satan does not exist. If I live by the principles, Satan cannot exist in me. However, if there is no oneness with God, if there is no oneness (between) parent and child, and if there is no oneness between husband and wife, then I create Satan.
Who creates Satan? I am the one who creates Satan. Of course, Satan definitely exists and disturbs us. But if we think this way continuously and do not discover Satan in ourselves, how can we raise our spirit?
2. When you are dominated by the entity that you are supposed to have dominion over, you become Satan. When people earn money, they are supposed to have dominion over money, but if they actually become dominated by money, then they become Satan. It is principled for the mind to dominate the body, but if the body dominates the mind, the subject and object is reversed and I myself become Satan. When I become dominated before the entity that I should have dominion over, I lose the rights and authority granted to me. This is a result that we bring upon ourselves. Therefore, if I cannot grow properly in the principled process of growth, another world will emerge because of me. This is the world of Satan.
What is Satan? The position of master and servant changes. The owner becomes the servant, and the servant becomes the owner. This is the fall. Adam and Eve should have ruled over the angel, but the angel took over Adam and Eve.
If I have to control money, but on the contrary, money has taken control of me, that is Satan.
When a servant takes control of his master, it brings chaos. Eventually, Cain becomes in control of Abel, and Satan arises.
If we understand in this way, I think it can help you in your life of faith very much.
What we think about Satan is very vague. (We see him as) separate (from us). That is the problem.
3. As one doctor said: all diseases merge because of wrong eating. All diseases are caused by eating. Therefore, if you eat right according to your body, you will not have a disease. This is the same with God’s principle of creation. Why does Satan emerge? He emerges because you did something wrong. If you yourself go on a principled path, there would be no reason for Satan to emerge. It is so with God’s creation. Similarly, why does Satan emerge? You must see it as him emerging because of me. Of course, Satan exists, but if I go on a Principled path, Satan cannot form a common base with me. In the course of growing, if the subject cannot be subject-like and is dominated by the object partner and the subject and object partner positions are reversed, that is the Fall.
All Satan comes from my own fault. Satan cannot arise when I become one with God's will and grow in principle.
Instead of thinking that Satan existed from the beginning, we must think that I can create Satan or not.
If we do not complain under any circumstances, we live gratefully and joyfully, and we live for the sake of others, then Satan cannot exist anymore.
The problem is being self-centered. If you focus on yourself, you become Satan. However, if we deny ourselves, we become one with God and become one with Abel, then Satan cannot arise, cannot emerge.
If I do not deny myself and decide and act according to my own will without Abel, without God, without the Principle, then Satan will surely come into existence.
If I do not deny myself, I will definitely become Satan. Satan is not elsewhere. That’s why sometimes I can become Satan; sometimes I can become God’s representative. Humans are always in the midway position. Sometimes we connect to God; sometimes we connect to Satan. Don’t just blame the angel Lucifer.
4. Adam and Eve had to dominate the archangel from the standpoint of their master, but rather, they were dominated before the servant, which is the Fall. All of our lives are like that. They accumulate money and are dominated by money, and they are slaves to money. They gain authority and are dominated by that authority, and they are enslaved before that authority. They are all enslaved by corruptible powers and corrupt idols. Such was the beginning of the Garden of Eden. That is why we must think that Satan does not exist at all in our life of faith. If I do my best, I have to think that there is no Satan. It should all be seen as a problem caused by our immaturity. It is to see that there is no creature among creation that can harm us.
We must be guided by our hearts. However, if I receive the control of the environment and the flesh, not my heart, I become Satan. Our spirit and heart are supposed to control our physical body, but when our physical body becomes subject and controls our spirit continuously and we become horizontal, finally we become Satan. The subject and object should be very clear.
It's not that Satan comes out of nowhere and attacks me; the problem is that I create Satan myself.
What if you are in a conflict with someone and you think the other person is Satan? What would be the result if I thought that the spiritual Satan is always present and attacks me even though I am following the path of principle? In the end, it results in putting my faults elsewhere.
If we try to blame the archangel and try to blame someone without recognizing our own Satan, if we blame and complain, if we have that kind of attitude, our spirit cannot grow.
If I make a mistake, I have to take responsibility for it, but if I think it happened because of the spiritual Satan or the other person, I would be imputing my mistake to others. If you think like this, your spiritual body will not grow forever.
5. We say that there are demons, and we tell them to beware of demons, but that only exists in people with relativity, but true people do not have demons. Those who live centered on themselves are more likely to become Satan themselves. Because everything is immature, the purpose of it becomes ambiguous and the responsibility of discerning good and evil becomes ambiguous. If you become vague like this, there is a high possibility that you will become Satan. If you become Satan, you are subject to the kind of power that can turn you into Satan. In this way, God cannot interfere with the fact that he became Satan because of his own fault. As we have learned and know, God is a principled being, so He cannot interfere with unprincipled beings. ( The end)
Again, don't forget that those who always focus on themselves will always be Satan. What kind of person does Satan refer to as Satan? A person who is self-centered is called Satan.
If I become Satan, God cannot interfere with me. But if I deny myself and go in the direction of goodness, God can interfere(?intervene?engage?) with me. … God can only interfere with the principle and the good.
If I am in the middle position between good and evil, I need to know that God cannot do anything until man separates good and evil on his own.
Who is responsible for separating good and evil? That is my portion of responsibility. As long as I clearly separate from evil and go to God’s side, Satan cannot find any reciprocal base to attack me. This is my portion of responsibility. Separation of good and evil (is) my portion of responsibility. God cannot do anything.
Today's sermon is entitled The Right Awareness of Satan. Today, we know for sure when and how Satan arises at this time. Today’s guidance is very important. Do not blame anyone else. I am the one who can become Satan, (who) can judge and blame. If you go the principled way, Satan cannot do anything.
Of course, Satan did invade True Parents’ course and Jesus’ course. What is the end of True Parents’ course? We know that even though Satan persecuted him and (he suffered) misunderstandings, all kinds things(?people?) insulted him, Father completely won victory. That is why he declared that the era of indemnity is over.
Of course, Satan exists and disturbs us. We know that. But we need to get away from that concept. We need to think (about) who Satan is, who creates Satan. I am the one who creates Satan. I need to always reflect on myself.♦
