Ep 831 - The Providential History Of Salvation From The Viewpoint Of The Principle Part 18
The Providential History of Salvation from the Viewpoint of the Principle - February 3, 2023
Key Points
Our hobby should be to love people.
Through the Blessing True Parents bequeath God’s true love, life and lineage to all humanity to save us. They have launched the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth by establishing a true family.
Our mission as blessed families is to move heavenly fortune by embodying the Heavenly Parent and True Parents, and to perfect a family that conveys Heaven's blessing to our community.
To do this we must fulfill HTM, enter the Cheonbowon and multiply tribal messiahs to establish Cheon Il Guk.
There are four kinds of sin: the original sin of Adam and Eve which can be removed through the Messiah with the Holy Wine, Blessing, 40-Day Separation and 3-Day Ceremonies; the hereditary sin of our ancestors which can be removed through the Liberation and Blessing of 430 generations of ancestors; the collective sin committed by a group which can be removed through Heavenly Tribal Messiahship by saving 430 families; and individual sin committed by the individual which can be removed by offering sincere jeongseong and living for the sake of others.
The mind of love transcends time and space and is conveyed to others.
Mothers who offer sincere devotion and serve their family selflessly become spiritually sensitive, read their husband’s and children’s hearts well, and are able to see through them.
Although they love their mother, they realize that she has jeongseong power and spiritual dignity and can protect them if they listen to her.
Dr. Yong’s father was a doctor who prayed on a hillside every night for his patients and often healed them without medicine. He could tell them their symptoms and disease just by holding their hands and looking into their eyes.
Because he has perfected true love. True Father can see a person’s thoughts, background and ancestors, can also see into the spiritual world, and knows Satan’s strategies and movements well.
Though we are fallen, we can do the same if we offer sincere devotion to others, have interest in them, and have a mind of love.
Because most problems in the family are misunderstandings and conflicts caused by words, we should speak very carefully and often serve with few words or none like Father in Heungnam.
Even if we do not speak, if we genuinely love another person, spiritual waves of our love will automatically move to him because the mind of love transcends time and space and is conveyed to him.
Just as parents offer sincere devotion to each of their children, a pastor should do the same for each member and visit him if he doesn’t come to church.
Love is interest and sincere devotion.
We need to encourage and cherish each other.

(Response to sharing) Our heart is to love people. It does not matter if they are older or younger. Just think first of all how to build heartistic relationships. We need to think that our hobby is to love people. In the beginning we should not have a heavy mind. We should treat them as family members and become closer and closer. Finally they will open their heart and mind. Then we can go deeper.♦
Today I’d like to talk about “The Providential History of Salvation from the Viewpoint of the Principle” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 2.
<This speech was given by Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon between July 20 and October 29 on a speaking tour for Koreans residing in the United States.> Through the marriage Blessing that passes on God's original lineage, the True Parents will be able to give salvation to all humanity. People will become true persons engrafting into the true love, true life and true lineage of God. Furthermore, the Messiah will establish a true family, creating the kingdom of heaven on earth. Thus, when the Lord of the Second Advent comes in the flesh, this new lineage will be established through international marriage Blessings. On the level of the great worldwide family, the Lord indemnifies that which was lost in the family of Adam and restores the true right of the eldest son, true right of the parents, and true right of the king that Adam's family was to have realized.
He will transform this world into the kingdom of heaven on earth under the dominion of God, which will open the kingdom of heaven in the spirit world for registration. Humanity will enter into the era of kingship, both spiritually and physically, centered on God, establishing a world of freedom, peace, unity and happiness, and create the heavenly kingdom on earth and in the spirit world, which is God's ideal of creation. This is the View of the Principle of the Providential History of Salvation. I hope that in the future all of you can also receive this joyous new marriage Blessing. Thank you very much.
Through the marriage Blessing that passes on God's original lineage, the True Parents will be able to give salvation to all humanity. People will become true persons engrafting into the true love, true life and true lineage of God. Furthermore, the Messiah will establish a true family, creating the kingdom of heaven on earth.
Now, our mission as blessed families who have met True Parents, the Messiah, is to fulfill Family Pledge number 6; to become a family that moves heavenly fortune by embodying the Heavenly Parent and True Parents, and to perfect a family that conveys Heaven's blessing to our community.
To do this, we must first fulfill our mission as tribal messiahs, register in Cheonbowon, witness to others, and encourage them to fulfill the mission of the tribal messiah as well. The multiplication of tribal messiahs is the work of finding and establishing the substantial Cheon Il Guk and the work of establishing the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: The Human Fall 21: Original Sin
• First is the original sin. This sin originated with the spiritual and physical fall of our first human ancestors. It is ingrained in our lineage and is the root of all sins.
• Second is hereditary sin. This is sin which one inherits from one’s ancestors on account of their connection through lineage.
Categories of Sins and How to Uproot Them
1. Original sin (Sin of first human ancestors): Because it is the root of all sins, it must be removed through the rebirth of the Messiah. (Holy Wine Ceremony, Holy Blessing Ceremony, 40-Day Separation, 3-Day Ceremony)
Of course, these are external conditions
2. Hereditary sin (Sin of ancestors): It is the sin that is inherited from one’s ancestors through their connection from their lineage. It can be removed through the Ancestor Liberation and Blessing. (Generations 430)
True Parents speak about 43 generations.(?)
Through the Liberation Ceremony and the Blessing Ceremony, the blessed families can pay for their sins for up to 430 generations of their ancestors. Then, our ancestors will be reborn as absolute good spirits.
Other religions cannot do this kind of job. True Parents are amazing! We are not just saviors for our own tribe. We also have to be a savior for our ancestors. Father said that most of our ancestors live in hell. So what a great blessing it is! (For) anyone who receives the blessing centered on our vertical 430 generations, do we know the (real) value of the Blessing?
Some (ancestors) are in the hell of hells; some are in hell; some are in the formation stage; some are in the growth stage; some are at a very high level. Anyone who receives the Blessing, what kind of benefit do they (receive)? They jump up to the top of the growth stage. Can you image? Someone who is suffering so much in hell, but is in our line of ancestors, because of his descendants (us), when we liberate him, he is liberated from the hell of hells in just one day and reaches the top of the growth stage. He comes to realize what kind of world is there. He ise so joyful and tearful and appreciates it so much!
Father said we do not know how happy our ancestors are when we liberate them. They will eternally bow down to us. That is why we are real ancestors. Of course, physically we are centered on our tribe, but vertically we are centered on our 430 generations.
(We have inherited the sins of our ancestors?) But we can solve the problem through the ancestor liberation and Blessing ceremonies.
3. Collective sin (Sin committed by a group): This is sin for which a person is responsible as a member of a group. For example, as a consequence of sending Jesus to the cross, the Jewish people were cast into the position to undergo grievous suffering. This sin can be removed by taking the responsibility as a member of a group through the mission of tribal messiah. What a blessing this is! It can be removed by saving 430 families.
4. Individual sin (Sin that the individual commits himself): It can be removed by offering sincere devotion, such as repentance, prayer, indemnity condition, fasting, etc.
Through serving for the sake of others.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: The Mind of Love Transcends Time and Space and is Conveyed to the Other Person
The Mother of the Family Must Know How to See Through Her Husband and Children
1. In the family, when the mother offers devotion for her children while raising them, the eyes of the mother’s mind become brighter, and she can see through radiantly. Mothers who cannot see through their children becomes that way because they are self-centered in raising children. Mothers with strong self-centeredness do not know what is going on with their husbands. They do not know if their husband is in a spiritually difficult situation or not or if their husband is telling the truth or lying. But a wife who humbly serves her husband sees through her husband. That is why they immediately know if their husband is saying the truth or speaking perfunctorily. Blessed wives of the Unification Church must know how to see through their husbands. They should be able to know immediately just by looking at their children’s eyes or actions. Even if the mother does not know so well about others, she must be spiritually sensitive about her own children and know how to see through them.
True Father is like a light in the dark world. When he sees people, he sees right through them. When a senior member came back from a tour and tried to give a report to True Father, True Father was aware about the situation when the member came after the tour and Father spoke first. He would say, “So the atmosphere today was very good!” or “Looking at the members, you are really worried, right?” Then when the man replied, “I am worried about the members.” Then Father would ask back “You don’t have any worries about yourself?”
Those who give sincere devotion, which is jeongseong, become spiritually sensitive. They can read people's hearts well, and are able to see through people. That is why the one who gives sincere devotion is scary. When a mother offers sincere devotion for her children while raising them, the eyes of the mother’s mind become brighter, and she can see through her children clearly. This is the power of the mother’s jeongseong.
In the family, when a mother raises her children with sincere devotion, she will know in advance that an accident will happen to her children and instruct them to be careful. “Today you need to be careful of cars.” In this way, if mothers give sincere devotion and foresee the future of their children, their children will never be able to go the other way.
The mother always needs to show that kind of spiritual power of jeongseong to her children. “Wow! If I do not listen to my mother, something will happen. I have to be careful.” Of course, children really love their mother, but at the same time, they realize that their mother has jeongseong power and spiritual dignity.
This is because they know something will happen if they do not listen to their mother who offers sincere devotion. On top of that, the spirit world teaches all about what will happen to the husband if the wife offers sincere devotion.
Have we ever offered such sincere devotion (for) our children (or) our spouse? In fact, nothing is impossible through sincere devotion.
Just a little testimony. My father was a farmer and doctor as well. Do you know how he cured his patients? He did not have much medicine. I came to realize how he healed his patients. We had dinner very early because there was no electricity. I saw my father leave the room (after dinner) and go somewhere. Then I noticed that he went to the backside of a mountain near us. He always prayed for each of his patients. He called (out) each of their names. Sometimes 40 minutes, one hour, two hours every day without exception without missing a single day.
I totally admire (him). When I grew up, I started to realize why so many people experienced being cured by my daddy. It was not because of medicine, but because of jeongseong. I have never testified about this.
Also, when his patients came and held his hand and (looked at) his eyes, he could tell what kind of sickness they had before they talked about it. “You have this and that symptom,” and the patient would say, “Yes. How did you know?”
I realized from that (experience) before joining the Unification Church that the power of jeongseong is incredible. He could see each person’s heart, sickness and symptoms. He did not know God and True Parents. This is the power jeongseong.
Mothers who cannot see through their children are self-centered and raise their children horizontally and humanistically. They just give food and money for school fees.
A self-centered mother does not know what is happening to her husband or what her children are up to.
A wife with strong self-centeredness does not know whether her husband is in a spiritually difficult situation or whether he is telling the truth or lying. But a wife who humbly serves her husband sees through her husband.
Blessed wives of the Unification Church must be able to see through their husbands. We also need to know how to see through our children. We should be able to know right away just by looking at our children's eyes or actions.
Even if the mother does not know so well about others, she must be spiritually sensitive about her own children and know how to see through them. True Father is like a light in the dark world. When he sees people, he sees right through them.
Why is this content so important? As a blessed family and first generation how should we raise our second generation? Through the mother’s jeongseong we need to guide them. “You need to listen to me.” If they do not listen to their mother, there is some problem.
At the same time she (does not) only (need to offer) jeongseong, but at the same time she needs to really pour out her love and embrace her children. She needs to sincerely love each one of them. Then they will absolutely follow their mother and father.
True Father, Who Sees Through People
3. There was a time when one lecturer at a training center led a 21-day workshop and went to see Father and report to him. But even though True Father had never been to the training center, he explained about the workshop situation as if he had seen it. Also, one itinerant worker had toured in Hokkaido, Japan, and since Father had never visited Hokkaido, he thought that Father might not know much. So as soon as he started to report in detail, Father said to the itinerant worker “I don’t know Hokkaido?” That itinerant worker had only thought that Father did not know, but Father even read his mind. For those of you who had never lived together with True Father, you don’t believe it, do you? People who have experience with True Father have had many amazing experiences with that side of True Father. True Father is someone who sees through people. If he is interested in knowing about that person, he can see through that person's background, thoughts, and even the background of that person's ancestors. How, then, does Father know so well? Is it because he is spiritually open? Or is it because he received special powers from God? According to Father’s words, anyone who perfects true love is meant to see through everything. Although we are fallen people, if we offer sincere devotion for others, have interest in them, and have a mind of love, we are meant to see those people.

True Father is someone who sees through people. If he is interested in knowing about that person, he can see through that person's background, thoughts, and even the background of that person's ancestors. Not only that, True Father can see into the spirit world as well.
And True Father is the one who knows Satan's strategies and movements better than anyone else. How, then, does Father know so well? Is it because he is spiritually open? Because he is the messiah? The savior? Or is it because he received special powers from God?
According to Father’s words, anyone who perfects true love is meant to see through everything. Although we are fallen people, if we offer sincere devotion to others, have interest in them, and have a mind of love, we are meant to see those people.
Therefore, we must upgrade our hearts of love along with sincere devotion. We have to climb to the top of the mountain to see it in its entirety. Our level of love is the same as scaling a mountain, the (further up) we climb, the more we can see the world under it.
How can we upgrade our heart? Our love? Our filial heart to a certain level? (To the extent that) we reach a certain level, we can see according to our level. When we reach the top of the mountain, we can see the entire view (in every direction).
The issue is how we can see people’s heart? If we are at a very low level, we cannot see someone’s problems and situation.
How can we read our husband’s mind and heart? How can we read our children’s heart and mind? We need to upgrade our spiritual level. Not only spiritual level, but the level of our heart and our love reflecting our jeongseong. This is the point.
Rather Than Talking Without Thinking, Be a Mute and Serve the Other
5. You must all know that the family is the final destination. Therefore, you must protect your family, even if you become a mute. Do not talk without thinking but become a mute first. In the family, try thinking that you have to protect the family and that you must move them by becoming a mute and not talking but just by serving the entire family. In Heungnam Prison, True Father moved the prisoners and Communist leaders around him even in an environment where he could not say anything to the person next to him. True Father became a mute and served and loved the prisoners around him dearly. When they couldn’t handle the labor work and had difficulties, he always helped, cleaned first, woke up earlier than anyone else, and prayed and offered sincere devotion for each person.
We must all know that the family is the final destination. Since our family is our final destination, we must offer sincere devotion to our families, be careful of what we say to each other, and always embrace them with love.
If there are problems in our family, if we (leave) our family, how can we solve the problems? The family is the final destination. If there is a serious issue, fighting, all kinds of problems in the family, there is no way to solve them (if we leave).
Most of the problems in the family are misunderstandings and conflicts caused by words. Therefore, we must protect our family, even if we become a mute. Do not talk without thinking but become a mute first.
In the family, (we should) try thinking that we have to protect the family and that we must move them by becoming a mute and not talking but just by serving the entire family.
In Heungnam Prison, True Father moved the prisoners and Communist leaders around him even in an environment where he could not say anything to the person next to him. True Father became a mute who is actually not mute and served and loved the prisoners around him dearly.
Even without words, as long as we have a heart to love the other person, we will be able to connect heart-to-heart.
The Mind of Love Transcends Time and Space and Is Conveyed to the Other Person
6. How can we also become a mute in our family and move each family member like True Father? People are not educated by words. Even if I do not speak, if I genuinely love the other person, spiritual waves of my love for that person will automatically move to them. This is because the mind of love transcends time and space and is conveyed to the other person.
In church, if members do not come, the pastor in charge must go and look for them. They should not give up on them or brand that family as impossible. If you do not hold interest in members that do not come and go out to meet them, who would save those people? If you cannot do it alone, even if you must set up core members, you must often meet members that do not come to church. We need to know how precious it is that we received blessings from Heaven and encourage and cherish each other.
How can we move each member in the family? People are not educated by words.
Even if we do not speak, if we genuinely love the other person, spiritual waves of our love for that person will automatically move to them. This is because the mind of love transcends time and space and is conveyed to the other person.
Our love and heart (is) beyond time and space. Let’s say we really love True Father in the spiritual world. Already the wave of our heart and love reaches him. The speed of heart and love is faster than (that of) light, faster than anything else. That is why when we truly love someone though we say nothing, our mind goes to that person immediately. This is the power of love and heart. When we truly say, “I love God,” if we truly love him, it reaches heaven already. Because love is really beyond space and time, even though we may not say anything like a mute, when we have a really sincere heart and mind, it reaches that person.
After all, love is interest and sincere devotion. Just as parents should offer sincere devotion to each and every one of their children in the family, the pastor in charge of the church should offer sincere devotion to each and every one of his members.
If we have such a mindset and really care for members and really love them, how beautiful that is!
If members do not come, the pastor in charge must go and look for them. They should not give up on them or brand that family as impossible. If we do not hold interest in members who do not come and go out to meet them, who would save those people?
If the pastor cannot make home visits alone, he must keep meeting the members who do not visit the church, even if he has (to be helped by) core members. If members do not come to church, the pastor must go and meet them. He can't just wait in church.
We need to know how precious it is that we received blessings from Heaven and encourage and cherish each other.
Today we learned about the power of jeongseong.
Today I talked about “The Mind of Love Transcends Time and Space and Is Conveyed to the Other Person.”
