Key Points
Like the white-necked crane preparing to fly over the Himalayas, those who sacrifice today to prepare well for tomorrow will grow, generate opportunities. lay a foundation for the future, prepare for any circumstances, enter higher and higher phases, receive heaven’s guarantee, acquire wisdom and heavenly fortune, and ultimately bring victory.
Don’t move forward recklessly based on vague dreams or anyone’s horizontal teaching; consult Abel first.
Spiritualists tend to be self-centered, arrogant and boastful, to have money and Adam-and-Eve problems, to have only partial knowledge of the spiritual world, and to seek to expand their self-centered foundation. They pretend to believe in True Parents, but eventually deny them. They are encumbered by a heavy indemnity burden for their spiritual works and ultimately have a bad ending.
True Parents’ Blessing eradicates original sin and liquidates satanic lineage. It allows us to inherit Heavenly Parent's lineage and to establish a parent-child relationship with Him. Until the Blessing, Satan's lineage still runs in our blood.
True Parents are the way, the truth and the life, plus the love and the lineage.
The Blessing is conditional. Our job is to receive it and to perfect it through a life of absolute faith, absolute harmony, and absolute obedience centered on the Word.
Always reporting to and discussing with Abel or your spouse or both should become a habit.
Always arm yourself with True Parents' words, inherit True Parents' thoughts and heart, and make True Parents’ lifestyle your own.
You should live asking yourself what would True Parents think or do in any situation.
If we have a heartistic relationship with Abel or our spouse, then reporting becomes very natural.
True Father lived his life centered on Heavenly Parent's heart. He always thought from Heavenly Parent's point of view and asked what He would do in a situation like this. That is why Father survived Heungnam Prison.

Someone is joining from Africa! Thank you!
Today is already November 30. Wow! Time flies so fast!
Today I’d like to talk about “Opening, Inheriting and Fulfilling the Era of the Victory, Liberation and Completion of the True Parents” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 2.
<This speech was given at the Assembly for Inheritance and Accomplishment in the Age of Liberation Opened by the Victory of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind held on March 4, 2012 at the Daejeon Convention Center in Daejeon, Korea> Once the era of the substantial Cheon Il Guk begins, we will establish the Association Connecting the Spiritual and Physical Worlds, the central axial position that governs all creation. To put it another way, the spiritual and physical worlds will connect and substantially unite and the providence will proceed according to heavenly law and the heavenly way. Elections conducted in a purely secular fashion will disappear from the face of the earth. All people will become one family through cross-cultural and inter-racial marriages, and we will live in tranquility and prosperity, enjoying true love, peace and happiness. This day is now right before our eyes.
All of you need to engrave True Parents' teachings onto your bones and practice them in your lives. We have no choice. All that is left for us to do is to inherit, succeed and accomplish the blessing of the opening of the gates to the era of the victorious liberation and perfection of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. If we do not prepare now, we will surely be left behind. We need to learn from the courage and fortitude of the white-necked cranes that in preparation for winter fly across the Himalayas, which are more than seven thousand meters high. I believe that, based on the public laws and principles of the universe, our WFWP members need to form sound families in accordance with the heavenly way and rightly endow their communities and nations with a special sense of mission.
From now on, in order to enter the era of Cheon Il Guk in earnest, all that remains is to thoroughly inherit, succeed and accomplish the blessing of True Parents. If we do not prepare now, we will surely be left behind.
Preparation is very important. Those who prepare very well finally win.
Let's find out how the white-necked crane prepares for winter to fly across the Himalayas, which are more than seven thousand meters high. This gives us many lessons as we must build the Cheon Il Guk era substantially.
I researched this. Let’s study together.
How does the White-Necked Crane fly across the Himalayas?
The most dramatic scene among the migratory birds who fly to survive the winter is the white-necked crane crossing the Himalayas. 'Planet earth', produced by the BBC in 2008, shows the migrating of the white-necked crane twice a year across the Himalayas. On the screen, a desperate but tearfully beautiful spectacle unfolds over the Himalayan Mountains, which are said to be able to overcome only by the wind. The white-necked crane, whose main habitat is Mongolian grasslands, flies to India in winter. At this time, it crosses the Himalayan Mountains at an altitude of 8,000 meters.
The Himalayan Mountains are the highest mountain range on earth and show extreme weather beyond imagination. There, heavy snowfall, strong winds, and turbulent currents created by vapor from the Indian Ocean rage there relentlessly. Due to the high altitude, the air pressure is low, and oxygen is scarce, so animals cannot perform normal activities. Nevertheless, the cranes easily cross the Himalayas. How do the white-necked cranes fly across the Himalayas? They change strategies to overcome the worst weather conditions. First, they change their body type by changing what they eat. In order to fly higher and farther, they abandon their herbivorous habits and choose proteins from fruits and insects. Protein is high in octane and reduces the size of the digestive tract. They can breathe more because their digestive system is smaller.
Second, migratory birds make thorough preparations. This is because cranes that lacked exercise or were negligent in nutrient reserves fall behind while moving. Third, they use the weather. They can fly with the least energy because it thoroughly uses the wind from the upper layer. Fourth, it maintains a V formation while flying. This is to preserve energy and not get lost while flying. Recently, it is said that there is a change in the white-necked crane’s migration period. Migratory birds make desperate efforts to survive in the safest way in the era of climate change. In this way, the white-necked crane prepares thoroughly to respond to all climate changes. We, who are to establish the era of Cheon Il Guk, must thoroughly prepare for the changes in the world and go forward with the determination to establish a substantial Cheon Il Guk under any circumstances.
I really appreciate True Father and True Mother talking about these birds’ stories.
What results will those who fail to prepare bring? Those who are unprepared will perish, Father said. Those who are unprepared will pave(?) the way (pass away?). Those who fail to prepare will become servants and slide(?) toward death.
Now we are very serious about how to find one nation, one sovereignty, one people centered on our True Parents’ wish.
True Father asked:
What Results will Those who Prepare Bring?
1. Opportunity is bound to come to those who prepare.
2. Those who prepare will gain the final victory.
3. Those who prepare will develop into a new and higher phase.
4. Today’s success will serve as a foundation for tomorrow.
The time of preparation is 70%, 80% or even 90%. The time of practice is not so long. Very short. That is why preparation is very important. How much do you prepare? Before delivering Morning Devotion, I think and meditate and prepare a lot. Preparation is a kind of jeongseong. Without preparation you cannot win, cannot get any opportunity. When you prepare thoroughly, then opportunity comes to you all the time. Finally you can gain the final victory. Those who prepare well always develop and increase and can have a bright future.
5. Those who prepare sacrifice today rather than enjoy today.
Wow! I love these words.
6. If you prepare centered on the world, you will remain on the world level.
What kind of level are you preparing? Just family, or tribal level or national level? In order to restore the nation of the United States, how much all our brothers and sisters prepared for the sake of this nation!
7. Those who are prepared will receive Heaven’s guarantee and acquire wisdom.
8. Heavenly fortune is bound to come to those who prepare.
Heavenly fortune does not just drop from the sky. To whom does it come? To those who prepare very well. Preparation is jeongseong, and jeongseong is preparation.
Now Mother is very serious about how to restore the nation of Korea. That is why she is always doing jeongseong and prayer. We need to really support Mother.
We need to see... how to restore the elder son nation, the United States. We need to see far (into the) future and to prepare thoroughly.
Today we learned a lot from that bird (the crane).
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: The Human Fall 10 - The Motivation and Process of the Fall
The motivation of the human fall lay within the angel. Therefore, before we can know the motivation and process of the fall, we must first learn about the angel.
• Angels were created by God prior to any other creation.
• God created angels to be His retainers (Heb. 1:14), "servants," (Rev. 22:9) and "ministering spirits,” (Heb. 1:14) who would assist Him in creating and sustaining the universe.
• Because God created us human beings as His children and gave us dominion over all creation, we are meant to rule over the angels as well.
Let study Father’s word.
The Angelic World and Phenomena such as the Spiritual Fall
<3-212> You must not thoughtlessly follow any vague teaching. In other words, you should never follow without a firm direction guided by clear truth. Even when you are taught some clear truth, do not just believe it literally but discuss it with someone in Abel position. You must clearly understand that phenomena such as the spiritual fall in the angelic world will happen if you secretly consult with others and confuse things. Then what kind of person do you have to become? You should become a person whose heart can resemble God’s heart who has been working hard for the birth of Jesus. And you must have a heart which resembles the hearts of saints who worked hard on the earth before Jesus came and who are working hard now in the spiritual world.
Father worried about spiritual phenomena. If you receive a wrong direction and without proper guidance, that is very dangerous. That is why Father said:
Don't move recklessly on what your dreams vaguely teach you.
Sometimes your dreams are unclear, and you have a misunderstanding about your dream. This is a big problem. You always need to check thoroughly.
Even if someone taught you, don't just believe it.
Be sure to consult your Abel-figure whom you can trust. If you give and receive horizontally, Satan will definitely work.
Problems of Spiritualists
1. Spiritualists only partially know about the spirit world.
2. Most spiritualists pretend to believe in True Parents, but eventually deny them.
That is a common problem of spiritual groups.
3. Most spiritualists turn out to be self-centered in the end.
4. Spiritualist always boast about themselves and are always arrogant.
5. They always encounter problems with money.
6. They always have Adam and Eve problems.
7. They cannot transcend their own lineage.
Just within their own family, their own relatives, their own father, mother, brothers and sisters, they cannot transcend more than their own lineage.
8. They are always trying to expand on their self-centered foundation.
9. In the end, any spiritualist will pay indemnity equal to the amount of spiritual work they conducted.
10. Conducting any spiritual power must pay a price, so you should not like external phenomena that occur from spiritual works.
11. Any spiritual group has a bad ending.
This is from my 48 years of experience in our movement. Outside religious groups (also have) spiritual phenomena.
If you relate to spiritual groups, I am telling you, it is not so good. Now is the era of Cheon Il Guk. There is no need to be influenced by any spiritual group or spiritual phenomena.
We are the owners of Cheon Il Guk. Anyone who receives the Blessing has a much higher spiritual standard than any ancestors. The level of the Blessing already surpasses the top of the growth stage. If you do not know the value of the Blessing and your spirit goes down, then you can relate to such spiritual phenomena. Then you cannot get out.
You need to know the meaning and level of the Blessing. Your level surpasses the top of the growth stage. Any ancestors, sages and saints are lower than us.
You need to be proud of the Blessing. We are direct children of God; we have received the direct blood lineage from True Parents. We need to know ourself. Why are you influenced by spiritual world and spiritual phenomena? Why are you divided? This is really terrible. You need to know that.
Our substantial central figures are our True Father and True Mother. We need to establish Cheon Il Guk not in heaven but on the earth. We need to know this very clearly.
Father worries about (members who say), “I heard a voice from the angelic world.” Do not be influenced by that. That is why you need to thoroughly study the Divine Principle and relate to Abel whom you can trust. This is important in order to prevent not such good spiritual phenomena.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Apply True Parents' Lifestyle as My Own
What We Must Do at the Stage of Individual Perfection
1. We inherited the blood of Satan through the Fall of Adam and Eve. Therefore, through True Parents who come as the Lord of the Second Advent in the Last Days, we want to eliminate Satan's lineage and inherit Heavenly Parent's lineage. This is our marriage blessing. So, the Blessing becomes a ceremony that clears away original sin. As long as we have original sin, we cannot have a parent-child relationship with Heavenly Parent. Who is a sinner? They are people who do not have a parent-child relationship with Heavenly Parent because of their different lineages. Therefore, we must receive the blessing, grow further, become filial children of Heavenly Parent and completely rid ourselves of our fallen nature. There must be no self-centered fallen nature. You must not become centered around Satan. In order to do so, you must lead a life of faith that involves absolute faith, absolute harmony, and absolute obedience to Abel, the main figure established by Heavenly Parent. You must live without even 1% of your thoughts centered on yourself. This is what must be done in the stage of individual perfection.
We must know that the Blessing we receive is not just a ceremony that eradicates original sin and satanic lineage. The most important thing is to liquidate satanic lineage and inherit Heavenly Parent's lineage and establish a parent-child relationship with Him.
Until we received the Blessing, even if we called Heavenly Parent our Father, we could not establish a parent-child relationship through lineage. This is because Satan's lineage still runs in our blood.
The Messiah, as the True Parent, plays a critical role in establishing the relationship between Heavenly Parent and human beings. That is why the Bible says that the Messiah is the way, the truth and the life.
Only through the Messiah can man find his way, only through his word can we connect with Heavenly Parent, and only through them can we gain life. True Parents said that words of love and lineage should be added to this.
Who is a sinner? They are people who do not have a parent-child relationship with Heavenly Parent because of their different lineages.
Father said if you have not received the Blessing, you are still a sinner. You cannot get out from the Satanic blood lineage.
Those who are not blessed are still under the bondage of sin.
How can we completely remove the sin externally? We need to change our blood lineage from Satanic blood lineage to God’s blood lineage. Those who have received the Blessing are God’s direct children, his direct blood lineage. Therefore, in order to get out from (being a) sinner, you need to receive the Blessing. Then internally you need to grow and remove your fallen nature. Day by day your spirit becomes better and grows.
You need to do two things, externally and internally: externally you need to receive the Blessing and internally you need to grow up, become filial sons and daughters and establish an ideal family.
However, blessed families' paths do not end with just receiving the Blessing. We must know that the Blessing is conditional. It is the responsibility of each human being to receive it and to perfect it.
Therefore, after receiving the Blessing, you must not still have a Satan-centered self. We must lead a life of faith with absolute faith, absolute harmony, and absolute obedience to Abel, the main figure established by Heavenly Parent.
The Purpose of Doing Hoondok
2. You need to create a reciprocal relationship with your Abel-figure, who is in the subject position, and do a lot of training to deny yourself. If you create a reciprocal relationship with that Abel-figure, you will not be able to thoughtlessly assert your stubbornness, your opinions or your thoughts. And always arm yourself with True Parents' words, inherit True Parents' thoughts and heart in your heart, and make True Parents’ lifestyle your own. The purpose of Hoondok is to deny ourselves 100% and live the words of True Parents. So, in the life of faith, we must clarify our identity by asking who we are. This vertical relationship of 'I am Heavenly Parent's child' must be regarded as the absolute most important thing. Next, if you have a relationship with Heavenly Parent, you must live your way of thinking and living by the Word. We must not live by our own thoughts or our own situation. We have done enough of that until now.
You need to create a reciprocal relationship with your Abel figure, who is in the subject position, and do a lot of training to deny yourself. Wherever you go, who do you live reporting to? Who is your Abel-figure? People who do not have a heartistic Abel-figure can never grow.
You need to have an Abel figure. This is really important. Without an Able figure if you decide everything by yourself without discussing it, it becomes a habit centered on your self-centered thought. That is a problem. Without a heartistic Abel figure, you do not know how to deny yourself. Even though you may be correct and go the way of the Principle, you always need to have give-and-take action with your heartistic Abel figure. (If you) decide everything according to “my thinking, my opinion, my own habits, my own plan,” then you will never grow up. You need to have give-and-take with your heartistic Able figure.
If self-centered judgement and decision become a habit, that person's self-centered habit can never be changed. Therefore, the life of always reporting and discussing with the Abel-figure should become a habit.
Especially in the relationship between a husband and wife, a husband’s Abel is his wife, and her Able is her husband. They need to treat each other as an Able figure. Even though you may be very principled, you still need to ask, still need to discuss and get confirmation, and you need to deny. If you do not deny (yourself), it will bring serious problems in the relationship between husband and wife. Even though you know your wife’s heart and sometimes you can guess, but sometimes you can make a mistake. That is why you need to always have give-and-take and discuss. Even though yesterday was like this, today could be different. Ask again.
Why do we need to discuss, report and have give-and-take? There is only one reason. It is not just for reporting (sake) or as a condition. What is the main reason? To have a heartistic relationship, heartistic unity. Without give-and-take, without reporting and discussing, we cannot build a heartistic relationship.
Many people only follow externally – “Oh our church says ‘Horenzo! Horenzo!’” in Japanese which means “Discussing and reporting and counseling.” It is not just in an external way. Adam and Eve did not report to God. That meant there was already a heartistic distance.
If you create a reciprocal relationship with that Abel-figure, you will not be able to thoughtlessly assert your stubbornness, your opinions or your thoughts. Even between husband and wife, reporting and discussing with each other should become a good habit.
And always arm yourself with True Parents' words, inherit True Parents' thoughts and heart in your heart, and make True Parents’ lifestyle your own. You should live asking yourself what would True Parents think? What would True Parents do? In any situation.
Yesterday I was very happy... Joshua called and asked if he could come join me for breakfast. I was so happy. I thought he wanted to discuss something with me, but he just wanted to see me and have a meal together. He brought some cookies. I was so moved.
“I need to ask (you about) something, to discuss something. I need to meet my Abel.” That is just external. (But if you want to meet because) “I miss him; I love him. I long for him,” if we have a heartistic relationship, then reporting becomes very natural.
“Because of something I need to ask, because you are my central figure I need to discuss...” This kind of relationship does not go deeper. We need to have a heartistic relationship. (Horizontal?) relationships can go last. “Because of something, I have to see my Abel.” This kind of relationship cannot last.
And this vertical relationship of “I am Heavenly Parent's child” must be regarded as the absolute most important thing. Next, if you have a relationship with Heavenly Parent, you must live your way of thinking and living by the Word. We must not live by our own thoughts.
Apply True Parent's Lifestyle as My Own
3. Today, everyone in the world lives according to their own thoughts and circumstances, so they have no idea of Heavenly Parent's circumstances and heart. That is why most people live with self-centered thoughts centered around the secular environment. Even in prison, Father lived a life as the Son of Heavenly Parent and the Lord of the Second Advent. True Father lived his life in prison centered on the heart of Heavenly Parent. So, the words that True Father taught us are to apply his life in prison to our own lives. Even though we do not have the walls or bars of a prison around us, as long as we are confined to our fallen nature, it is like living in a prison. We should lead the world rather than imitate the world.
Why can't we feel Heavenly Parent's circumstance and heart even if we try to know them? It is because our way of thinking and lifestyle are centered around ourself. Such people cannot experience the heart of Heavenly Parents at all.
Today, everyone in the world lives according to their own thoughts and circumstances, so they have no idea of Heavenly Parent's circumstances and heart. That is why most people live with self-centered thoughts centered around the secular environment.
Even in prison, True Father lived his life centered on Heavenly Parent's heart. He always thought from Heavenly Parent's point of view and (asked) what He would do in a situation like this. That is why Father survived Heungnam Prison, a prison among prisons.
For me, I have meetings scheduled. Sometimes I need to join a Zoom (meeting). I have to meet people. Before I meet people and when I wake up early in the morning, I check my daily schedule: I need to meet this guy, I need to join that meeting. I always pray before having a meeting. “Heavenly Father, you need to intervene in my meeting. You need to be there. I don’t want to just have a horizontal meeting. Wherever I go, you need to accompany me. In this situation, what do you think?” True Father is in the spiritual world. “I am now having this problem. If you were here, how would you answer this?”
We always need to think this way whether you are meeting people or having a meal with them. Whatever we do, how can we learn True Parents’ lifestyle? Later on it becomes a good habit, right? It becomes very natural. Wherever you go, you can invite God all the time. How can we deny that God exists if we have that kind of lifestyle.
Today we learned (about) “how to apply True Parents’ lifestyle as my own.”
