Ep 504 - The Cheon Il Guk Constitution and the Five Branches of the Cheon Il Guk Administration Part 2
The CIG Constitution and the Five Branches of the CIG Administration 139-24-13-40 - March 13, 2022
Today I’d like to talk again about “The Cheon Il Guk Constitution and the Five Branches of the Cheon Il Guk Administration” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.
From the 4th year of Cheon Il Guk, three additional branches will be added to the Cheon Il Guk administration: Cheon Jeong Won, Cheon Gong Won and Cheon Jae Won will be added to the Cheon Il Guk Constitution. Each of them will be established as an independently governed branch. I proclaim this in the name of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind before Heavenly Parent and the cosmos. (2016.02.20, CheongShim Peace World Center)
This time, I announced three administrative branches for Cheon Il Guk. We will strengthen the Cheon Eui Won. With the launching of the Cheon Eui Won, I give all of the regional presidents and special emissaries the authority of Cheon Eui Won vice-chairmen. I will explain what these people need to do. Simply put, the Cheon Eui Won is like the elders in a church congregation. It is the center of the church.
The Cheon Jeong Won office is very important. It needs to secure a stable position while I am alive. This means that the international headquarters is also important. There should be no gap between the headquarters and me. We must be united. Things need to be instantly passed among Korea, Japan, America, and through all the other continental regions. They must be able to move as one body. In that sense, those regional presidents and special emissaries appointed as Cheon Eui Won vice-presidents should take good care of long-time members. You need to open the way so that they can fulfill their responsibilities as blessed members. No matter the country, the elder members of a church are its center. They should correctly understand the Will and offer their lives appropriately in front of Heaven. You should open the way for them. The Cheon Eui Won has a chairman, but he cannot do this by himself. How can one person manage our members across six continents and five oceans? He needs people who will work and cooperate with him. We need to educate our church elders well so that they can grow and not feel neglected. (2016.02.21, Cheon Jeong Gung)
The mission of the Cheon Eui Won is to manage the members. That is why this time I appointed the continental leaders as the vice chairmen of the Cheon Eui Won. Korea must act centering on the FFWPU president. You who are in the position of elders have the mission to manage the families who are sprouting up and guide them to go in the right direction. (2016.02.24, Cheon Jeong Gung)
True Mother told us (about) “The Cheon Il Guk Constitution and the Five Branches of the Cheon Il Guk Administration”
Today, we will have time to study True Father's words about heavenly laws related to Mother’s content.
You Should Always Think of Heaven ’s Law
<Chambumo Gyeong, P. 1502> God ’s Will proceeds by His laws in accordance with His providence. We are supposed to be under the governance of those laws; we are not to do things randomly. Heaven’s law applies to everyone universally. Since this law is applicable to the world as a whole, everyone is governed by this law. That is why, regardless of how much opposition I receive, I am working to expand the foundation of heaven’s law.
Suppose you stop working to expand the foundation of heaven’s law but nonetheless you say, “I love God.” That will never work. After promising True Parents that you are committed to expanding heaven’s law, how can you think, “It does not matter whether I do it or not; let me take it easy”? Having such an attitude will never work with God.
The greater the scope of God’s Will for you, the higher the law that will be applied to you. You should always think of heaven’s law. You are called by heaven’s command. If, in spite of this, you think in terms of gaining honor, saving face or protecting your dignity, it will come to nothing. You have to live only for heaven’s command.
People do not complain about returning to God. When they return to Him, they praise Him and agree with His guidance, saying, “Yes, You are right.” This is principled and in keeping with the ideal. Are you now returning to God? If God were to have a wish, what do you think it would be? It would be, “Just return to the original state, to the original principles.” For this reason, you need to live up to the original principles.
Today True Mother talked about the heavenly constitution and True Father spoke about heavenly law.
If we establish and restore substantial Cheon il guk, everything will need to be handled by heavenly law centered on the heavenly constitution.
True Father said, “There is definitely a heavenly law in God's will. And all people are to be governed by that heavenly law.”
This heavenly law is commonly applied to all peoples without exception.
Because this heavenly law sees and applies to the world as one, (the world) is governed by that law.
The greater the meaning, the greater the law. Therefore, you should always think about the heavenly law.
The Heavenly Law is a heavenly command that everyone should follow. That is why we must always live according to the heavenly law.
If we restore one nation and it becomes substantially God’s Cheon Il Guk, everything will be handled by the heavenly constitution and heavenly law. Everybody will need to follow (it) because it is law. That is why if we restore one nation, one sovereignty and one people, how powerful (that will be)! Everybody with no choice has to follow the heavenly law.
Without restoring one sovereignty, one people and one nation, how can we establish God’s constitution. That is why the nation is very important. Let’s say Korea becomes God’s substantial Cheon il guk. Maybe 70% or 80% agree with True Parents’ word and try to follow and try to unite with True Parents. However, once we create heavenly law as the national law, if you do not follow, then you need to go to jail.
That is why the law is very powerful. Everything will be handled by law centering on the heavenly constitution. That is why this is very powerful. Once we establish God’s nation, everything will be handled by heavenly law. It will not matter if you like it or not. Yes, maybe you need to enter the kingdom of heaven by force, even if you don’t want to, because everything is handled by heavenly law!
I am longing for when we can see God’s substantial Cheon il guk.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Principles of Creation 25 - The Perfection of the Individual is the Completion of Mind-Body Unity
Let’s go back to EDP content first.
God's First Blessing: Individual Perfection
• The key to God's first blessing is the perfection of individual character.
• An individual's mind and body are discrete projections and object partners of God's dual characteristics. In order for an individual to perfect his character, he must form a four position foundation within himself whereby his mind and body become one through give and take action with God as their center.
• Such individuals become the temples of God (1 Cor. 3:16), achieve complete oneness with Him (John 14:20), and acquire a divine nature. They experience the Heart of God as if it were their own. Hence, they understand His Will and live fully attuned to it.
• When a person abides in the state of individual perfection, he lives as the substantial object partner to his mind. Because the center of his mind is God, he also lives as the substantial object partner to God.
• Both the mind and God feel joy as they experience their internal nature and external form through the stimulation which their object partners give them.
• Accordingly, when a person realizes God's first blessing, he becomes God's good object partner to inspire Him with joy. Sharing all the feelings of God as his own, he would never commit any sinful acts that would cause God grief. This means he would never fall.
Based on this content today I would like to introduce Father’s very beautiful and powerful word. Let’s study.
Before Seeking Dominion Over the Universe, Ffirst Have Dominion Over Your Own Self
<203-296> What is the motto that I designated? People desire to have dominion over the universe. That is why I said “before seeking dominion over the universe, first have dominion over your own self.” There are two ways to get to the world of the Way. If you look at the past of Catholicism, you will see that nuns practiced asceticism as a way of training. The mind and body are in a struggle. There are only two ways to dominate this. One is by striking the body. You have to strike away the things your body enjoys. You must overcome the four types of desires—the desire for sex, food, material and sleep.
In having dominion over yourself, the elements that become the greatest obstacles are the 4 great desires. True Father mentioned 4 types of desires in today’s passage, but in some words, he talked about the 3 types of desires.
I would like to speak again about how we can overcome the four types of desires. Already in the introduction I shared about this, but I would like to remind you again. This content is very powerful. Father said, “Before seeking dominion over the universe, first have dominion over your own self.” Without overcoming the four types of desires, it is really impossible to control your physical body. You cannot become the owner of all things.
Controlling the 4 Great Desires
1. Desire for material gain: Excessive want of materials
> Do you love God more than material gain?
Do you really love God more than money?
> Are you free from Desire for material gain?
Wow! Is your number one money? Or is your number one God?
Many people cannot give up money, give up material things. They put materials and money first. God is secondary; (they) even forget God. If you do this, you cannot control your material desires. This is very important to understand (in order) to overcome this desire for material gain.
2. Desire for food: Excessive eating and drinking
For me this is really challenging. Every meal. Is this challenging for you? At every meal I am really challenged because the desire for food is so strong! I don’t want to become … such a fat guy. I tell Naokimi, “You cannot become a … (fat?) guy. You need to do proper exercise.” I am always talking to him (about this).
> Do you transcend food and love God more?
> Are you free from Desire for food
There are four kinds of desires, right? Material desire, food desire, sexual desire and sleep desire. For me among the four desires, the most difficult one is to control the desire for food. This is not a simple matter. Our desire for food is so strong! Food is so stimulating, more than anything else. You can be patient for sex. Money is a secondary matter that you can wait for. But we always need to eat, right? This is a serious matter!
3. Desire for sex: Unable to control sexual desires
This is a really terrible thing. Of course, if we love centering on true love centering on God, that is fine. However, fallen man’s physical sexual desire is very strong. Some (people) cannot control (themselves) and commit sexual sin all the time.
> Am I able to prevail by investing in God’s Will beyond sexual desire?
> Are you free from Desire for sex?
Have you really graduated from sexual desires or not? What do you think?
4. Desire for sleep: Desire to keep on sleeping
> Can you transcend sleep for God’s Will?
> Are you free from Desire for sleep?
For me the No 1 desire for material gain and the number 3 desire for sex and the number 4 desire for sleep are manageable, but I'm really challenged by the desire for food. Really, really challenged!
What are the Consequences Of Failing to Control the 4 Great Desires?
1. I am forever a slave to Satan.
If you cannot control the 4 desires, you are forever a slave to Satan.
2. I cannot become the owner of all things.
If you overcome these 4 desires, Satan and God (recognize) that you have the qualification to become the owner of all things. If I cannot control these four external physical desires, I cannot become the owner of all things.
3. My spirit cannot surpass the top of the growth stage.
Those who have already passed the top of the growth stage have already overcome the four great desires. You have already entered the completion stage.
If you cannot control the four desires:
4. I cannot enter the realm of God’s Heart, which is the completion stage.
Someone who has entered the completion stage already controls the four great desires.
5. It is proof that I am still under the dominion of the archangel.
If I cannot control the four great desires, I am still under the dominion of the archangel.
How do we Control the 4 Great Desires?
1. It is absolutely impossible with human effort alone.
No matter how much you try, it is impossible to overcome it.
2. Because the desires of the flesh are stronger than the power of man’s conscience, fallen man must borrow power from God.
Without God’s heart and love, without borrowing from God, it is impossible
3. We must overcome it by the power of the Word.
Today and yesterday I continuously said that:
Since the Word is God's love, if we always live possessing the Word, we will have the power to overcome the flesh.
God’s word is so powerful, giving incredible energy! If you believe in God’s word, you can make miracles. You can control your physical body. It is so powerful because God’s word is God’s love.
4. We must overcome it with the power of devotion and prayer and jeongseong.
Yesterday and today we have continuously talked about this.
Devotion and prayer are channels through which we can receive power from God.
(They are a) direct channel. You can get power directly from Heavenly Parent. That is why the Bible says that you need to be joyful and pray constantly. Without prayer Satan invades immediately. Fallen man is that weak. Without prayer and without receiving God’s word, then horizontally Satan invades me: Chapter Two thinking, this and that, everything centering on my own faith(?). It is really terrible. This is the reality of fallen man.
5. We must overcome it with the power of the Holy Spirit. I must completely deny myself before God and submit myself completely.
> “HeavenlyGod, it is impossible for me to do it in my own strength, so I completely surrender before you. You rule me.”
I cannot overcome with my own standard power. Without you it is impossible. I completely deny myself.”
Last time I said, “You need to kill yourself.” Naokimi said, “Do not use these kinds of words, Dr. Yong.”
I need very strong self-denial. If I deny myself, then God’s power comes to me.
How do we conquer the four great desires?
6. We must experience God’s heart. If you know God’s heart, you cannot fall. Experiencing God’s heart does not happen instantly. That is why you must train yourself to live for the sake of others. The more we live for the sake of others, the more we reach the level of the world of God's heart.

I researched Father’s 620 volumes. I got all the top secrets and shared them with you. This word doesn’t come from me at all. I summarize what Father is talking about here and there and I connected (them all).
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Revival of Autonomy and Shimjeong (2)
1. When I am taking a test at school, I have to receive the test questions and sympathize with the teacher who gives the test. I must think that they put something precious out in the form of a test question. In order to make it my own, I must think that they put something this precious out as a test question. Then, you should feel really grateful to the person who gave out the test questions. If you handle the smallest things as precious, you feel reassured and happy. But if you ignore it, you will suffer a loss. A feeling of sadness enters. If you do not voluntarily do the task entrusted to you, you will not feel grateful. You should live a life of gratitude, just like how you feel after eating delicious food. Just as you feel good after eating good food, you should feel good after taking on a responsibility. If you don't take responsibility like that, you will daydream. Your heart will be opened and temptation will come.
2. Since a person who does not take responsibility well cannot do so joyfully, there is a lack of sincerity. Then temptation invades. If you are bored and just sit down with an empty mind, unexpected things, such as a phone call from someone or a friend says “let’s go somewhere,” and you become dominated by the environment. We must be different from people of the secular world. We must always be immersed in the truth. After hearing the Word, you must be moved by the Word and live in tears. And you must always arouse the heart centered on the Word. If I lead this kind of life, if I want to be the one that touches others, not be influenced by the environment. You must always have a voluntary heart and live with the purpose of reviving your life through the Word. You have to try to recreate yourself essentially.
3. If you say that the knowledge you have accumulated so far cannot revive your heart, it is a condition of death. So, when a person with knowledge cannot follow his character, he is like an intelligent criminal if he lags behind in character. You cannot find happiness intellectually. Knowledge based on the heart is the only way to find happiness. True Parents did not find the principle by studying. Even when entering school, they entered to know the world of those people with tears. You did not enter school because of knowledge. True Father knew everything because he lived with his heart deeply moved. When we are given a certain goal and take responsibility, we must put a point in our hearts. If the knowledge you have learned through your studies becomes your heart and tears, it will come into you and become your life.
Where do we get a flat tire in our life of faith? A flat tire comes from a very small hold in the wheel. It is the same with faith. Because we ignore and handle very small things carelessly, we lose strength and get tired along the way. If we treat even the smallest of things as precious and invest all my heart into it, my heart becomes strong and joyful.
Secondly, where else does our life of faith get a flat tire? It is when we disregard insignificant people (someone small like a little boy). If we think of anyone as God and serve and respect them well, my heart will never be damaged.
Third, where does our life of faith get a flat tire? When I do not think of myself as God’s person. If you do not think of yourself as belonging to Heaven, you treat yourself badly. You get angry and feel bad easily about it. You must regard yourself as sons and daughters of heaven.
Fourth, it is because I do not treat each item of all things or material items that I handle as Heaven’s. If I treat all creation and material items as Heaven’s, my heart is sanctified. You can have a heartistic exchange with all things.
Fifth, where does our life of faith get a flat tire? Because you do not value the word. If you value the Word as life, you can make your life of faith very happy and grateful.
Sixth, where does our life of faith get a flat tire? Because we do not put our lives on the heart, but on knowledge. And because we put it on wealth and power.
Knowledge, wealth, and power cannot resurrect a person’s spirit. Fallen man is always external and excited by the results. When the results are good, I feel good, when the results are bad, I feel bad... A true person should always remain unchanged. You should not judge people rashly or judge yourself based on the results.
If you do these 6 things wrong, you will be insincere about your responsibilities. And my mind will daydream. Then the temptation will come horizontally.
Immediately.
We learned every day how to really handle my physical body. How do we overcome difficult situations. What is wrong with me in my life of faith? From where (does it come?)?
Just now I talked about centering on six points. Please remind yourself of this content and check your life of faith. Then surely you can get strength and power to be victorious in your life of faith.♦
