Restore True Relationships

When you come into contact with people, do not treat them offhandedly. Always wonder if they can teach you something. Always be hungry in heart. Have a seeking heart that expects to receive something from those people.



Reverend Sun Myung Moon



After all, what is 'self'?

In every relationship which you encounter, you are either a subject or an object partner. This means that you are in a fixed position as a subject or object partner. Whenever a being appears who will either become your subject or object partner, you will know what position they take immediately.



If you have people to whom you are to witness, you will easily know what kind of person they are. Your mind will go to them out of joy, by way of thought waves.
Every mind has its own wavelength.



A butcher carries a smell of meat. Just as your body carries its own smell your mind has its own unique smell. A form of sensing the smell of the mind will take place. Your mind emits invisible electronic waves in order to look for its own object.

Therefore, believers must think that everything they encounter is in a reciprocal relationship with them. Why is this type of mindset necessary? Because we have lost all kinds of true relationships, the original, by the Fall.

We lost the true, pure relationship with nature, with original human beings, and God because of the Fall.



Through restoration, we can reconnect to the world of severed relationships by always determining to get yourself connected. Pioneering those relationships happens only when you take this action. With this attitude, you will never succeed in pioneering in a relationship.

We all must have the heart that is seeking something.

After you pray in the morning, you should be able to sense that something good is going to happen this day.



Do not just think that something good will automatically happen on its own course, but that you actively start looking for whatever it is.



This is the type of attitude we should have when leading a life of faith.



During the half-awake state, feelings, experiences and placing them into action brings life to you. If your spiritual level goes higher, then what will happen?



You will receive directions and revelations that will guide you, but you have to discern revelations. Directions are given directly to you by someone, but revelations are different which can lead to problems.

You must always interpret revelations.

Some revelations come verbally and other visually.



For example, you could have a vision a couple of deer drinking water from the spring. Then glance at a mountain in the distance on a nice spring day.



This vision symbolizes boundless hope and happiness. All of these phenomena are not accidental and will take place.



Heaven does this to help you to cultivate the field of your mind. Why? The field of your mind is not flat like a piece of glass. Your mind is uneven. It has the form of a flat surface, but the shape itself is uneven. So, when heavenly rays hits the uneven plane of your mind, it will be reflected towards a direction that is opposite to the incoming rays just like the reflection of light.



Therefore, visions are all different. God works in such a way to enlighten each part of your mind. After you reach the stage of revelations, then you enter the stage where you have such experiences found in the Book of Revelation.



In this stage, the spirit world and you have various experiences all day long. Here, you get to connect to a far-off world. You will feel God in your daily life in this state. Unless you have a faith that is based on such experiences, then you are not able to apply the resultant realm of God's great Will to the field or sphere of your daily life. In other words, unless you have spiritual experiences, you will not be able to bring the Word as part of your life.



Therefore, believers who do not have such experiences cannot be trusted.



Faith that is base don such experiences is important. For this reason, you must make an effort to enlighten yourselves.



When our members pray, spiritual phenomena take place. These spiritual phenomena do exist. Spiritual forces enter our bodies like electric power. You would not have to ask if you have had such experiences, you will know because you will experience a force stronger than your normal awareness entering your body, as if you were in contact with a high pressure.



When you experience supernatural and superhuman emotions, your body will certainly reject them because your body carries fallen nature. Our body rejects the divine nature from God.






Yet, if there is some kind of godly force flows into fallen humankind, then fallen people cannot be purified in a natural way because the body will reject it. When this power flows in us, it does not come at once, but enters in an alternating plus and minus manner like how sound waves are transmitted with alternating amplifications and attenuations.






This power sometimes comes strong and sometimes weak, but it still cultivates us. When it enters your body, you will have vibrations, lose your consciousness, and the phenomenon where spiritual forces act strongly take place.



What happens next after you have such an experience?



Your physical body and your physical fallen nature will become purified. Through this, you will naturally come to accept these works one-hundred percent. When this happens, you will be able to enter a higher state than the spiritual phenomena without such phenomena.



Then you will receive what heaven teaches and not feel overwhelmed at all. You must go through this course to reach that level of purification. Also, the phases of receiving revelations and directions.



At such a level of experience, your mind will automatically give you directions. You will be struck dumb when you try to talk to someone. Or, you will scold someone in spite of yourself. Such incomprehensible experiences will come to you from time to time. Therefore, you need to be in control of them. If such experiences are mishandled, people may treat you like a crazy person.



It is absolutely necessary to go through such a course of experiencing these things through the trials of life by feeling and experiencing that which entered your mind. Through this, you will become stronger.






In this state, you will not be affected by anyone's comments.



Realizing and experiencing such spiritual phenomena is important in a life of faith.
