Ep 513 - The Movement for the Unification for North and South Korea Part 4
The Movement for the Unification of North and South Korea 148-33-13-40 - March 22, 2022
Today I’d like to talk about “The Movement for the Unification of North and South Korea” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.
In order to create an environment that can influence this nation, I announced that I will actively support and push ahead the Citizens' Federation for the Unification of Korea and the International Federation for Victory Over Communism. In earlier days, these organizations conducted a lot of anti-communism lectures at universities, middle schools and high schools. They also conducted rallies between students from North Korea and South Korea. The present generation, however, does not know how the Korean War broke out. Hence, we cannot stand still.
Father left, giving his blessings on this nation. As such, can we allow ourselves not to fully establish God's homeland? Those who live in this era cannot avoid responsibility. Your parents and those of you who grew up under Father's direct teachings, education, and guidance, cannot escape from this. The unification of the two Koreas is an urgent issue. Neither the right wing nor the left wing will suffice. We must arm ourselves with Godism and embrace the North with true love. If there is an organization that will practice and put this into action, that will be the Unification Church alone. (2012.12.14, Cheon Jeong Gung)
Father proposed a way to make peace in the Middle East some ten years ago or so. Even when we consider the problem between South Korea and North Korea, we realize that we have ushered in a time when we must make decisions and take action. Today, we see racial conflicts, religious conflicts, political conflicts ideological conflicts arising everywhere in the world. To make it worse, we are also experiencing natural disasters everywhere. We are living in an era of anxiety, terror and conflict where hope cannot be found anywhere. However, it is also clear that you are all standing on the providential front line. We must bring about one world of unity and peace that attends God as the True Parent. However, Adam and Eve failed to become one with God during their growth process. That is why the Bible says that they committed the Fall. The world we live in today is a fallen world and its owner is Satan. God was meant to be the owner but could not maintain that position, which is why the Divine Principle says that the True Parents must come. Religious conflicts occurring in the Middle East are not being resolved. They cannot be resolved if the people involved do not receive True Parents. (2013.05.24, Cheon Jeong Gung)
True Mother said, “The unification of the two Koreas is an urgent issue. Neither the right wing nor the left wing will suffice. We must arm ourselves with Godism and embrace the North with true love.”
Today, we will look at Unification Thought from True Father's words.
<Cheon Seong Gyeong, P. 1063> What is the “head-wing” ideology that we talk about in the Unification Church? The left and right wings fight if there is no head, don’t they? A combined ideology can appear if we join the head-wing, left-wing and right-wing ideologies. What would be the subject partner of such a combined ideology?
Think about it all you want, but the head contains the root of the nervous system. The subject partner cannot appear except in the head. Then what, or who, is this root of all roots? This is something you do not know. The root of all roots is God. Head-wing thought comes from God. That is why the original mind, which takes the highest position within us, finds satisfaction in it.
The head-wing ideology is a root ideology that comes from God, not the left or right wings. In other words, the head-wing ideology is Godism.
The world today is a battle between left-wing and right-wing ideologies. In order to end this battle, the central ideology, the head-wing ideology, must emerge.
However, this head-wing ideology is based on God's true love. Therefore, left-wing ideology and right-wing ideology always fight and conflict with each other because they are like siblings. Therefore, the head-wing ideology centered on true love, which is the ideology of parents, must appear to be able to stop this sibling’s fight.
<Cheon Seong Gyeong, P. 1063> We need a world-level way of thinking. We have nationalistic thoughts and ideas and, until now, communism has maintained racial limitations and national borders. We have overcome all that; we are supra-religious and supranational.
We have gone beyond national-level thought to world-level thought and then to cosmic-level thought. What I am talking about goes beyond this world; it is about a nation and religion that transcend this world’s borders. The world needs such a way of thinking, so an ideology with God at the center had to appear. This is why Godism and head-wing thought have emerged.
This head-wing ideology centered on God is supra-religious, supranational, and goes beyond the world. The head-wing ideology is cosmic ideology. So far, all ideas and philosophies have not gone beyond nationalism.
Therefore, in the last days, this head-wing ideology must come out and embrace and unite everything with true love centered on God.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Principle of Creation 26 - Family Perfection is the Completion of the 4 Great Realms of Heart
Let’s study EDP content first.
• In order to fulfill God's second blessing, individually-perfected Adam and Eve, by joining in loving oneness as husband and wife and raising children, should have constructed a God-centered four position foundation in their family.
• A family or society that has formed the four position foundation in line with God's ideal is patterned after the image of a perfect individual. It thus becomes the substantial object partner to the individual who lives in oneness with God, and consequently, it also becomes the substantial object partner to God.
• The individual feels joy, and likewise God feels joy, when each perceives in this family or community the manifestation of his own internal nature and external form.
• Thus, when God's second blessing is fulfilled, this family or community also becomes a good object partner giving joy to God.
The Completion of the 2nd Blessing is the Completion of the 4 Great Realms of Heart
Recently I have talked about the second Blessing which is the Completion of the 4 Great Realms of Heart, and every day I explain (it) based on Dr. Sang Hun Lee’s arrangement.
“This text is the preaching about the 4 great realms of heart and 3 great kingships given by the writer of the Unification Thought, Director Lee Sang Hun, on January 17th, 1993, at dawn in the rally of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity at the direction of True Father.”
He already received a clear confirmation from Father. When Father first talked about the four great realms of heart and the three great kingships, he asked Dr. Sang Hun Lee to arrange it properly and give a sermon to our Korean headquarters. I was present. I was very inspired to hear his clear arrangement based on the view of Unification Thought. Everyday I am sharing this principle with you. Let’s study (it) again today.
(8) Worldwide Realm of Heart as an Expansion of the 4 Great Realms of Heart
1. The basic form of the 4 great realms of heart is a family 4 great realms of heart
a. The 4 great loves are a family love, thus the 4 great shimjeongs are also family shimjeongs. Children’s realm of heart are the realm of heart of children in a family, sibling’s realm of heart are the realm of heart of siblings in a family, couple’s realm of heart are the realm of heart of a couple in a family, and parent’s realm of heart are the realm of heart of parents in a family. Therefore the basic form of the 4 great realms of heart is the family 4 great realms of heart.
The world is the realm of the expansion of the family. Therefore, the worldwide realm of heart is also the expansion of the love and realm of heart of the family.
Therefore, when the family is alive, the country is alive, and when the country is alive, the world is alive. Therefore, the movement to save the family is a movement to save the country and the world.
Everything is based on the structure of the family.
b. According to the principle, the human society in the original world of creation is establishing a great society of one family through attending the True Parents of all mankind as the highest summit.
c. The original form is humankind establishing one great family centered on True Parents. In other words, in the ideal world of creation human society is an expansion of the family as a great society of one family, where each family is considered to be a small society as a minimized version of the big society.
Since human society is a great society of one family, True Parents came to this earth to establish one big family society under one God.
Because humankind is all one family and all are brothers and sisters who transcend races, nations, religions, and ideologies, there can be no fights or wars.
Therefore, in order to unite the world, all humankind must know the existence of God and that God is our parent among parents as True Mother says.
Next, we must recognize that we are all brothers and sisters under God and that we are one big family. The only way to create a world of peace is to truly know this philosophy, principle, and thought.
That is why in order to unite any religion, any nations, any thought, we need to know very clearly who God is. You need to accept God’s existence. You need to understand that God is the parent of all human beings.
As long as we know clearly the concept of God and we know that God is the parent of all humankind, then we are brothers and sisters. All kinds of war and problems … come from (the fact that) we do not know God and we do not know that he is the parent of all humankind. Mother always says if we understand clearly God’s identity and the relationship between God and human beings, any problem can be solved.
2. Worldwide 4 great realms of heart as an expansion of the family 4 great realms of heart
a. Therefore the child’s realm of heart in a family can expand to a child’s realm of heart in the world, and the sibling’s realm of heart, couple’s realm of heart, and parent’s realm of heart can all expand from the family to the world. Consequently, the great society of one family of humankind can become a worldwide 4 great realms of heart.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Three Kinds of Crosses (Series 7) - God's and True Parents’ Wishes and Our Tasks
This is the final series.
1) True Parents are carrying the cross for God. This is because God has not yet achieved complete liberation. Then what is God’s cross? God has been bearing the cross for fallen humankind since the fall of Adam to the present day. Even in the secular world, after the son leaves home, the father waits with worry and anxiety every day. As long as his child has not returned, the parent’s heart cannot be relieved of the painful heart that gave birth to and cherished and cared for the child. As long as the child does not return, the sorrow and bitter heart of the parents cannot be resolved.
The cross of God carries the cross of all human beings who live on earth and all the spirits who have come and gone so far.
However, since no human being has been able to reach completion on earth, their crosses remain as God's cross and burden.
Therefore, the more human beings multiply, the more they fail to fulfill their responsibility and the more they go to the spirit world, the more the cross of God, the parent, increases.
Although the fall was the fault of humans themselves, God must bear all the responsibility as the parent and bear their crosses.
God carries the cross for each and every spirit. The path of God’s cross does not end until a spirit reaches completion through the growth process of repentance and resurrection.
The way that God is liberated from His cross is the way that every spirit is saved. Therefore, the liberation of hell is the liberation of God. As long as hell exists, God's cross will continue to the end.
Therefore, God's concept of salvation is total salvation in which every single person is saved.
God mobilizes all of his energy, heart, and love for this total salvation. Since the fall of man, God has been doing total mobilization, including with good spirits.
Also, God invests all that He has into the salvation of humankind. Because He invests everything into it, He doesn't have any energy left over. So, the providence of God is the providence of total investment in which He invests everything.
God is the parent of parents. And He has the love of loves. He treats each human being with a love that is 10 times or 100 times greater than that of a parent's love.
That is why I always speak about total salvation, secondly, total mobilization and thirdly, total investment. That is the cross God has carried. He (has this) concept: he doesn’t want to miss even one single (person) because he is a parent.
For example, if everybody were already saved and had entered the kingdom of heaven, but if still one person remained in hell, God would still be there (in hell).
Many people are scared to enter hell because there is so much judgment and fire judgment and all kinds of terrible things. What is the situation of hell? It is the situation of Heavenly God. It is a painful, horrible thing that is actually reality centered on God.
That is why without liberating hell, we cannot liberate God’s heart. That is why Father says we should willingly go to hell in order to liberate God’s heart. Many people are scared saying, “Wow! It is so horrible and terrible; I don't want to go there.” But we need to know that anyone (who) has a painful heart, a sorrowful, difficult situation, that is the same as God’s heart. God’s heart is (actually) worse than that.
How painful was it when Jesus died on the cross? Then, the pain of God, the parent of Jesus, would have been 10 times or 100 times more painful than that.
Have you ever thought of God's suffering when Jesus was suffering? Everyone may have thought of the suffering of Jesus, but how many people have thought of the suffering of God looking at him?
God’s pain is proportional to how great His love is, and is unimaginably great. Thinking of God who suffers like this, has anyone taken up His cross and set out to relieve His burden of suffering?
Only True Parents have known the pain and heart of God and have lived a life of bearing the cross on behalf of Heavenly Parent.
Now, all of us must bear the cross of Hyojeong for God and True Parents. This is our responsibility in the era of Cheon Il Guk.
2) As long as God has lost Adam and Eve and cannot save them and their descendants, how will God’s Han (bitter heart) be resolved? Who are the True Parents who came to this earth? True Parents are the people who relieve God’s Han (bitter heart). Then, what is the position of us who are called before True Parents? It is the position of children who must grant True Parents' wishes. We are currently on the 2nd 7-year course of Cheon Il Guk. True Father has already gone to the spirit world and is not on this earth. Now is the time to build a substantial Cheon Il Guk with True Mother. Our ultimate goal is to establish a Heavenly Unified Korea on this earth and the kingdom of God, Cheon Il Guk.
3) Just as our blessed families stack bricks one by one to build a house, each family must take on a part of their assigned field and devote themselves like bricks to the building of Cheon Il Guk. All of our blessed families must be able to enter into God's direct dominion. If we unite with God's protection, mercy, and love, and with True Mother, we can truly build a family centered on God and build Cheon Il Guk. This is our task. Each of you should really reflect. Are we really reborn as God's true children? Do we really belong to God? Are we heartistically living with True Parents?
4) From this point of view, first of all, each member should take responsibility for their family and find a way to devote themselves more for the Will. True Parents want our blessed families to become families where God can be together. Second, in order to form a family that can enter into God's direct dominion, everyone must fulfill their Heavenly Tribal Messiah responsibilities and be registered in CheonBoWon. Third, we must make proud achievements and eventually live together with the True Family. True Parents’ Han (bitter heart) is bound to True Children. Cain's children must solve this. To do that, we need results that no one can deny. Anyone will surrender to someone who has found and established a country. God, True Parents, and the spirit world are helpless in the face of achievements.
First of all, the cross of the formation stage is to take responsibility for one's own cross without giving it to anyone. As Jesus said, I take responsibility for my own cross. To do that, you must completely deny yourself.
Without denying yourself, you cannot remove your personal sin. That is why you need to be responsible for your own cross. Do not give it to anyone. That is the formation stage. “I need to be determined to be responsible for my own cross. I don’t want to give it to Heavenly Father, my spouse, my children or give it to my ancestors. I need to be responsible for my own cross.”
If I take responsibility for my own cross, my own individual sins will be cleared.
The next step is to bear the cross at the growth stage. This is the cross you bear for others. It is a cross you bear for the other person. It is a cross you bear for Cain. It is a cross you bear for your people and the country.
The cross to bear in the last stage, the completion stage, is the cross of Hyojeong to bear for the liberation and freedom of True Parents and God.
In order to bear the cross of Hyojeong, we must first take responsibility for and complete Heavenly Tribal Messiahship to save our people. In order to register into CheonBoWon, we must not have the mindset of (simply) fulfilling the mission of the tribal messiah.
The way to fulfill the Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission is to have a mindset to help find and establish one nation.
We need to have a very clear concept. “True Father said that I have to fulfill heavenly tribal messiahship and finally I can enter the Cheon Bo Won.” That is not the main purpose. Sometimes we can be self-centered for our own (sake). But True Parents have said very clearly why you need to fulfill heavenly tribal messiahship, and why you need to register in (the) Cheon Bo Won. The main reason is very clear: in order to find one nation, to establish one nation. All blessed families fulfilling heavenly tribal messiahship is the way to establish substantially one nation, one sovereignty, one people -- which is the nation of cheon il guk.
Now is the time to show others. Up to now, we have received unimaginable benefits from True Parents, (more) than we have from any other central figure or believers from the past, right?
More than any other people in the Old Testament era, more than any saints in the New Testament era, and more than any other believers who followed Jesus, we have received immeasurable, incredible words and guidance from True Parents directly.
No one in the old testament era and new testament era has received such guidance and direction, right? We have received so much clear guidance from True Parents. We already know God and True Parents. We already know God’s providence. We already have all the textbooks, (such as) Cheon Syeong Gyeong, Pyeong Hwa Gyeong and True Parents’ autobiographies. We have received so many things. We have received so much guidance directly from True Parents. How can we compare (this time to) the old testament era and the new testament era? We have received so much guidance from our True Parents.
These days, God and True Parents are giving very specific directions through Morning Devotion. We cannot receive guidance (that is) more specific.
“We do not receive enough guidance. I have not received guidance from my Abel.” We cannot accuse any more (in this way).
If the people of Israel in Moses' day and the disciples in Jesus' day had received instruction every morning as we do every (morning with) Morning Devotion, would anyone have given up on the way?
Therefore, in the present age, if you do not put into practice what you know and learn, the spirit world will not move and will not help you. Now, all that remains is to show it by putting it into practice.
We already have learned so many things. Now the only thing that remains is how to put it into practice.
Everyone must fulfill the Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission and go (on) to the stage of finding and establishing one nation, one sovereignty, one people. That is cheon il guk. (The) Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission is to find and establish one nation.
Dear brothers and sisters! We learned (during) the last 6 or 7 days about the 3 crosses, right? We studied the three crosses over 7 times. So, what kind of cross will you carry? Would you like to carry the left cross? Would you like to take up your right cross? Will you carry the cross of God like Jesus and True Parents? When I take up the cross for God, all humankind, nation, tribe, my family, and my personal problems will be resolved.
That is why True Parents encouraged us to bear a greater cross than (that of) our own individual problems, our own family and tribal problems, even our national and worldwide problems. (These problems) can be solved. Our main job is what? How can I grow and bear God’s cross? So far no one has borne God’s sorrowful, heavy cross. No one knows how sorrowful his heart is. No children appear to bear his cross in his place. Only True Parents came to the earth and came to realize the reality of God. His reality is what? Such a sorrowful, bitter heart. That is why True Father said it is not enough to bear your own cross and that of others, but you need to bear God’s cross, his sorrowful cross. Then truly you can become God’s filial sons and daughters. We need to bear the cross of Hyojeong.♦
