Ep 402 - Special Thanksgiving Dinner, Hosted by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind
Special Thanksgiving Dinner Hosted by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and humankind #37
Today is already December 1. Wow! Time is so fast.
Today, I’d like to introduce TM’s recent speech from a few days ago about “Special Thanksgiving Dinner Hosted by the True Parents” in November 25, 2021.
Special Thanksgiving Dinner Hosted by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind - November 25, 2021 (10.21 by the heavenly calendar) at 6:00 pm - Cheon Jeong Gung 2nd Floor Ballroom
Heavenly Parent Who Wished to Establish, on Earth, his Dream for the Creation of Heaven and Earth
Perhaps some of you are wondering about my attire. I opened my closet, aware that I was going to meet you all after such a long time. This jacket is old. I've been wearing this outfit since we lived in America. It glitters even when I'm sitting still, and when I move about, it sparkles even more brightly.
I am telling you this because I wanted to show all of you so you could get a real sense of it. Earlier, President Hwang [Hwang Sun-jo, President of Sun Moon University] talked about “creating the environment.” Of course, it is Heavenly Parent who wished to establish, on earth, His dream for the creation of heaven and earth.
True Parents Have Opened a New Era, a New History, Cheon Il Guk
The 60-year history of our Unification Church was a course through the wilderness. We could not establish ourselves, nor could we achieve firm settlement. Through True Parents, however, a new nation began on Foundation Day: Cheon Il Guk. And the people who should be at the center of the nation called Cheon Il Guk are Heavenly Parent, of course, True Parents, and the true children that are you, the blessed families.
True Parents have opened a new era, a new history, Cheon Il Guk—something fallen people never dreamed of in 6,000 years. And you have received the blessing of qualifying as the people of Cheon Il Guk, which means what? To be Cheonbo families, right?
Three elements are necessary to achieve the substantial Cheon Il Guk. There must be sovereignty, people, and land (country).
On January 13, 2013, True Parents found and established the substantial Cheon Il Guk under the conditions of the sovereignty centered on True Parents, the people of Cheon Il Guk centered on the Cheonbo Blessed family, and the land centered on the Holy Land in Cheongpyeong. This is not conditional Kingdom of heaven. It is a real Kingdom of heaven. Now, only one substantial expansion at the national level, worldwide level remains.
The Victorious Cheonbo Family Is “the Eternal Flower of Cheonbo That Never Withers.”
Yes. What did I say last time? Didn’t I say that the victorious Cheonbo family is “the eternal flower of Cheonbo that never withers”? In the era of the Asia-Pacific civilization, these flowers ride the strong current of Cheonbo, and countless Cheonbo flowers are blooming in the regions and nations of the world!
In order to create such an environment, there must be a central axis, mustn’t there? This nation that gave birth to True Parents must wake up. It must rise up. It must become a country that can serve Heavenly Parent.
True Mother said that the victorious Cheonbo family is “the eternal flower of Cheonbo that never withers.”
The Cheonbo family will become the citizen of the eternal kingdom of heaven. The Cheonbo Family is a guarantee check recognized by True Parents.
My dear brothers and sisters, True Parents emphasize the importance of the Cheonbo Family once again today. All our blessed families must achieve this goal without missing a single one. And peace ambassadors and Christian pastors who are related to us should all strive to become a family of Cheonbo. And those who have become Cheonbo families must make sure that 43 families out of the 430 families they have blessed can become members, real members.
You Must Boldly Inform People About True Parents
As Director Ahn Ho-yeol [Director of Public Relations for our movement in Korea, who testified about his work to have the THINK TANK 2022 Forums broadcast on Korean television] said earlier, shouldn't we be able to express what needs to be expressed? We must inform people about how to create the environment, should we not? We must show them, right? Now is the time when you must boldly inform people about True Parents!
Especially during this 9th year of Cheon Il Guk and the new seven-year course, you mustn't think and act as you did in the past. Although you may not realize it, Heaven’s providence on earth….I am approaching the age of eighty, which is not a young age. Yet Heavenly Parent dreams of living on earth with true parents as they embrace their children in their arms. True Mother, the only begotten Daughter, is creating the environment in which that can be realized.
True Mother tells us to proudly proclaim and make known True Parents.
The time has come for us to strongly and boldly declare and inform all people that True Mother is the only begotten daughter of all mankind.
The truth of history has already been revealed. True Mother reveals and proclaims it herself, but if we as children do not proclaim it, who will proclaim it?
Jesus boldly proclaimed, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” He himself proclaimed this.
Why are You Hesitating?
In 2023, I will dedicate the Cheon Il Sanctum [Temple] in Cheon Won Gung to our Heavenly Parent. By this I mean to say to you who are taking responsibility and carrying out your work at this time when Heaven is working with us in such a way: what are you hesitating over? Why are you hesitating? I am saying you must be bold.
You should know that when you move forward in unity with True Parents, with True Mother, the only begotten Daughter, miracles that you do not expect will take place ten-fold and a hundred-fold.
After the people of Israel entered Canaan, it was a constant wish to build the temple of God, and it came true during the reign of King Solomon.
Just as the people of Israel needed a temple to serve God after they entered Canaan and settled in Canaan, True Mother proclaimed Cheon Il Guk, and one of the following tasks is to dedicate the Cheon Il Temple by 2023.
This Cheonil Temple is the first such palace to be dedicated to heaven after the declaration of Cheon Il Guk. This dedication will be a historic event.
Next, restore the Republic of Korea and offer Cheon Il Guk. This is the course we will follow in the future.
Also True Mother said you should know that when you move forward in unity with the only begotten Daughter, miracles that you do not expect will take place ten-fold and a hundred-fold.
Now There Is No Path Other than to Move Forward Actively
I am saying, please don't sit quietly. Even if you do sit still, you are still in the position of having received the Blessing, which distinguishes you from the secular world. All the more, if you act, how very brightly you will shine!
Now, you are in a new era, wearing new clothes and receiving indescribable cosmic power from our Heavenly Parent. No one has been able to experience anything comparable. So what should you do?
Now there is no path other than to move forward actively. You have to step up to meet the goal. Do you understand? You will do that, won’t you? So I believe in you and I love you very, very much. Please be strong.
True Mother is earnestly and desperately urging us:
First, don't sit quietly, but move. As long as you move in True Mother's name, a brilliant light will shine wherever you go. Blessings are transferred to all people. So we have to get up and go out. And you have to go out into the world. “Get up and get out!” “God is preparing everything for you.”
Second, True Mother says: Now is the era of Cheon Il Guk. So go out in new clothes in a new age. If True Parents give you unimaginable power, what can you do to hesitate any longer? Trust True Parents and go. Then the miracle will happen. Miracles happen to those who believe in miracles. Miracles never happen to those who do not believe in miracles.
Third, True Mother says: Now there is only one way to move forward. Step towards the goal and climb up. Would you guys do that? I love you very much. Please be strong. The peak of the summit is now in front of us. The finish line is just in front of us. An incredible time has come.
Living Divine Principle: Principle of Creation 4 - God’s character - Absolute Sex
This is very substantial content from the Divine Principle: how to prevent free sex. We need to know the Principle of Creation very clearly. This absolute sex, how can I explain it to you? It is the most important content. Let’s study about this.
• The subject and harmonious union of original internal nature and original external form.
• The harmonious union of original masculinity and original femininity.
• The subject partner having qualities of internal nature and masculinity towards the universe.
This is the conclusion of the content of the dual characteristics: who God is. Listen carefully.
“Who are the men and women created by God? Man is the object of the substance of God's sperm, and woman is the object of the substance of God's egg.”
1. We should not just regard God as a transcendental being.
2. God is a being who is directly related to my blood lineage, not just a vague being anymore. “God is a powerful, omniscient, omnipotent, transcendent God. I cannot reach him.” This is the concept of Christianity. God is not like that. God directly relates to my blood lineage.
3. God is my true parent. Humans are originally a direct lineage of God, and come from God's absolute sex which is God’s love organ. Is there an expression that is closer than this to further describe my relationship with God?
Divine Principle is amazing! We came from where? Some say from the sky, some say from the clouds, from an amoeba, from energy … My goodness! What are they talking about? I came from my parents. It is very clear. I came from my father and mother. My hometown is my father and mother’s love organs. It is very clear. Human beings came from our own physical father and mother’s sexual organs. Originally, where did human beings come from? Very clear. We speak of sungsang and hyungsang. What is the substantial sungsang and hyungsang, yang and yin? We came from where?
4. This is the core of the Original Divine Principle.
♦ God's Yang (sperm) and Yin (egg) are each God's absolute Sex.
• I need to be born through God’s absolute sex.
• God’s absolute sex is the origin of my life, lineage, and love. It is my birthplace.
I came from God’s absolute sex. That is why we call God’s love organ God’s absolute sex. God’s absolute sex is the origin of my life, origin of my lineage and origin of my love. It is my birthplace. Human being’s birthplace is where? The sky? An amoeba? Energy? Somewhere else? What are you talking about? No religious leader, no saints, no great man is teaching about this in such detail directly.
♦ The Messiah is the being who was born through directly receiving God's sperm (the seed of a baby). The Messiah is a unique being who has inherited God's absolute sex directly.
He has nothing to do with fallen lineage.
♦ God's absolute sex is not an ethics concept. God's absolute sex is God's organ of love.
Someone translated “absolute sex” into “absolute ethics.” No! What are you talking about? The translator did not understand the meaning of “absolute sex.” It is not an ethics concept, a moral concept. We are speaking specifically of the love organ. God’s absolute sex is God’s organ of love. We need to understand clearly the concept of absolute sex. Otherwise, how can we prevent free sex?
♦ The Fall means a change in human DNA. Fallen DNA is different. Through the Fall, people's genetic code changed from God's to Satan's. Therefore, in order to change the genetic code, people must be Blessed by True Parents and change their blood lineage.
♦ The difference between the blessed first generation and the second generation has a different origin. The origin of the first generation came from the DNA of the Fall, and the second generation came directly from the DNA of God.
This is the difference. I am first generation. My background is from the fallen lineage. But through receiving the blessing, I have had the experience of rebirth and my blood lineage has been completely transformed from Satan’s blood lineage to God’s blood lineage. My three children did not come from a fallen background, from fallen DNA. They came from God’s blood lineage directly. They are the ones who carry God’s DNA. The fall means the DNA is different. We came from Satan’s DNA, Satan’s genetic code. How powerful the Blessing is!
♦ The Blessing is a ceremony to be born into God's direct lineage through True Parents.
♦ Therefore, after inheriting God's absolute sex by receiving the Blessing, fallen people must maintain absolute fidelity between husband and wife.
• In God's Creation, absolute sex is the core. The Fall is to lose absolute sex, and restoration is to restore absolute sex.
• Absolute sex is everything. That is because everything starts from here. True love, true life, and true lineage start from here.
Father said, “I could not write about absolute sex in the Principle from the beginning. If I had written about the concept of absolute sex. Human beings come from where? From God’s absolute sex.” If Father had written this in the beginning, he said he would have already killed people. That is why Father waited and waited and waited for the right time. Then Father said the purpose of establishing the Family Federation for World Peace was to proclaim, to educate people in the principle of absolute sex. The principle of creation is amazingly powerful!
Based on this content, let’s read Father’s word.
Traditions Respecting Absolute Sex
<285-66>The Korean people have high respect for sexual fidelity. From a moral point of view, at any rate, they do not act indecently. Furthermore, members of the royal family cannot visit the houses of courtesans. They must not be unfaithful to their marriage. From that point of view, it is correct to call Korea the Asian country of high nobility and courtesy. They have a respect for sexual fidelity. Especially the women.
Even though the Korean people were invaded 932 times, because of the protection of heaven, the women were able to protect their purity. Because they maintained a place of high dimension of true character, following natural law and the essence of true nature, they were able to keep that tradition. Even if we look only at the period of Japanese rule, even while under oppression for 40 years, the women were violated by all possible kinds of acts, but none of the women willingly married a Japanese.
I will speak about absolute sex for the next few days. Those who keep absolute purity before the blessing and absolute sexual fidelity after the blessing are better than Adam and Eve. How can we educate our second generation, our younger generation, our children very well about the importance of absolute sex? Our blood lineage comes from God’s love organ. How holy I am because I came from God’s love organ! That is why the original value of human beings is so precious. I don’t know how to describe it. Why did True Father ask us to become holy men and holy women and become God’s holy temple? Because God’s love organ is the holy of holies. I came from the place of the holy of holies. That is why externally I need to keep purity. When I keep purity, I come to have incredible dignity.
We are thinking sexually, spiritually distant(?), looking at pornography, then we are so polluted spiritually. Then my physical body is directly influenced, and my physical body is no longer holy. That is why as long as you keep your absolute sexual purity together with your internal dignity, you are very, very holy. Without keeping sexual pourity, how can you say you are holy?
We need to become holy men and holy women; a holy man and a holy woman come together and become a holy couple. Descendants of Satan always violalted and polluted our sexual organs. That is why we need to know the original value of our sexual organ: we came from God’s holy sexual organ.
There were some women who were, as kitchen maids or nurse maids, forced by the circumstances to marry, but there were none who married voluntarily. It was the same with regard to the Chinese. In the Unification Church, we do not abandon the traditions of the Asian country of high morals and courtesy. We are expanding on them. What are your traditions? You respect the tradition of absolute sex. You respect marital fidelity.
The ideologies of women being obedient to their husbands, and a woman having only one husband are internal traditions that are essential parts of heavenly law. If we look from that point of view, because the Korean people are in the position to receive the heavenly providence, this people has gone a path of much suffering.
A long time ago the Korean people had a strong tradition, even though they did not know the Divine Principle, of keeping absolute purity. It was a really, really strong tradition. I am so sad these days that it is a different story, a different environment, different situation. Maybe (now) the Korean people are worse than any other country. The birth rate in Korea has been declining more than any other country. As a Unificationist we could not fulfill our responsibility for the Korean People. We did not educate (people) in this principle of absolute sex. We cannot blame them. We are the ones who did not fulfill our responsibility to educate people. We already knew the Divine Principle. Oh my goodness!
Today’s Youth Ministry: Jacob’s Course - Leah and Rachel’s Providence of Restoration Centered on Jacob
1. In restoring the family, Jacob’s family had children from his two wives, Leah and Rachel and their maidservants. Why did Jacob have to have four women? Jacob did not take Leah and Rachel on his own accord. Later, he also had children through the servants of Leah and Rachel. All of this was not a decision that Jacob made centered on himself, but it can only be seen that Heaven was working behind him.
2. Jacob was a person who prayed especially before Heaven, and he was a person whom God promised to be with on the path he took. In order to live a life with God, he had to completely deny himself and have faith to live for the Will.
3. Jacob labored for 7 years to get Rachel, but when a new situation arose, in which he had to take up Leah as well, he obeyed the Will. Each time Jacob did this, he must have consulted with God about the matter instead of doing it in his own way.
Centering on God’s point of view, Jacob needed to have 12 children providentially. He definitely needed 12 children. Of course, Jacob did not clearly understand the meaning of the 12 children, but he needed to produce 12 children (nonetheless).
4. This is because, looking at Jacob's past life, Jacob always lived in consultation with his mother, and since he was in Bethel, he lived with God. If Jacob left God's intention at some point, Jacob's course would inevitably change midway. However, looking at Jacob's course, it can be easily inferred that he must have dealt with each case after discussing it before God and receiving the answer from Him.
5. Considering God's providence, there are many events that are beyond human understanding. Whether it was the case of Noah’s nakedness, the case when Abraham gave his wife to the king of the Gentiles twice, the case when God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son that he received when he was 100-years-old, or the case of four wives in Jacob’s course.
There are mysterious stories here and there.
6. There are many events that we humans cannot understand in God's providence of restoring the lineage through fallen human beings. However, we must not make a historical mistake by judging or criticizing these events in a human-centered way. Do not simply focus on one event and criticize the entire central figure.
7. You must always see and judge from Heaven’s perspective and think about the kind of path they walked since the early days, what kind of interaction they had with God, and if they denied themselves. Therefore, the path of faith is the path that must be followed by completely denying yourself and denying oneself again. Therefore, do not judge the course of True Parents easily with human eyes.
Father’s women issue, how many wives did he have, this and that, all kinds of issues. Was True Mother’s mission complete or not? Even some children criticize True Mother.
You need to see God’s process from the beginning until now. This is very important. Don’t judge simply the courses of all our central figures. In order to change the blood lineage, when you look at Jesus’ lineage, we cannot understand why the father-in-law and daughter-in-law had a relationship, Tamar’s story. How can we understand that? There is a reason: in order to change the human blood lineage. That is why the messiah is very, very precious. He has received his lineage directly and has nothing to do with the fallen blood lineage.
Through Jacob’s course we learn that we should not simply judge any central figure, not judge easily the course of True Parents with our own fallen human eyes. Can you imagine? When Father had his first child, Song-jin Nim, his mother had just delivered a baby and there was no rice at home, no food. He went out looking for rice. On his way (to get rice) God gave him an order, “You need to go to North Korea.” Can you understand this? His wife had just delivered a baby; now God asked him to go to North Korea. We cannot understand this. However, True Father absolutely followed God’s order, God’s commandment like Jacob. Wow!
We can learn so many things through our central figures. That is why we need to understand our central figures in God’s providence. Then we can understand clearly our True Parents’ life course.♦
