It takes an integrated mind and become a perfect object partner to God cay say the same. They feel that they hold onto the world so tight that they might melt in their fist.
Miracles happen automatically in this state.
We must cultivate the field of our heart in line with the door of our heart.
We must discover God, our subject as we steer the direction of our heart. If we want to start to connect to God, we must focus our mind.
When we illuminate our minds, we will be able to follow the right direction. For instance, when you pray, you may be facing east, but once you enter a mystic state, your orientation changes. the mind has a door.
There are times when it is easy to pray and other times we do not feel like praying.
Even though we make absolutions and devotions, it is still difficult to pray.
Our attitude toward prayer varies depending on the location and direction of the room because North, South, East and West exist based on a central point.
There are places in the mountains one can pray well. There are also places where satans gather. These are the shady spots. The sunny spots and spiritually formed in this way.
When we get revelations, dreams and visions from spirit world, we must apply them to our lives and not ignore them.
Such phenomena further develop the relationship between God and humankind.
To reach a certain state, you must make an effort to open the doors to your heart.
Once you have cultivated your heart, then you must apply this to the relational world.
The meaning of "Opening the Gate of Heaven"
Even though Adam and Eve erred in the Garden of Eden, God took full responsibility.
The Messiah’s responsibility is to inherit the responsibility from God to open the gate of heaven.
Through the Fall bringing sin on the earth, the gates to heaven were closed on every level. Therefore, the Messiah must open the gateway for the race, nations and the world through true families.
“God's strategy is to prepare small things for the sake of recovering bigger things. From the individual through the family, tribe, people, nation, world, and cosmos and even to the afterlife, they have been blocked by heaven and hell.”
Reverend Sun Myung Moon
If Adam and Eve had followed God’s word and become true parents, then the world would have become one based on the foundation of their good family. Cain and Abel would have been true brothers and Cain would not have murdered Abel.
After the Fall, false parents emerged and blocked hell.
Thus, True Parents must come to reverse the first parent’s act and break down this historic wall of bitter grief.
Humankind are living in hell on earth, the spirits suffer in hell in the spirit world.
The gate of hell on earth and in the spirit world must be opened to liberate humankind. First, the pathway must be connected from the individual level to the nation and world on earth, then the connection leads from earth to the spirit world.
Since we have a internal struggle with our godly mind and our fallen body or flesh, we should make the mind and body unite into one.
Centered on this oneness, there will not be any barriers to block your path as you pass from the family level to the tribal level and transcend the race, nation and world to the spirit world.
Everything must be broken down.
It is impossible to enter heaven without opening the gates of hell on earth and spirit world.
Only those who overcome hell can go to heaven.
You can only enter heaven, not through prayer, but through God’s love. This is done through opening the gates of hell while on earth by centering on God’s love.
Jesus was given the authority as the prince of heaven and God’s only begotten son because he could love the satanic world and also the spirit world.
Spirit world is entirely blocked by walls. These barriers must be taken down through having a higher standard that comes from God’s heart.
Just as the physical communist wall in Russia came tumbling down, all the walls from the high throne of heaven downward must be broken down.
Starting with the walls built from our ancestor’s sins ten thousand years ago and those who passed a few years ago must be broken down.
Otherwise, the gates of heaven cannot be opened.
The origin of the "Opening of the Gates of Heaven"
“I greatly appreciate Mother. She had many very deep experiences of the heart during my time in Danbury. Being a mere child when she met me, she has had to lead a life that was to reach the line parallel to mine. Having lived that way, her standard has gradually risen.
“Before, she probably did not experience the deep valleys of the heart. After being separated from me because of Danbury, she was able to realize the precious value of the True Father and understood how lonely it could be for a woman without her husband.
“As a result, on February 1, we conducted a ceremony to open the gates of heaven and hell. Now they cannot be closed. Through the True Parents standing at opposite poles, a solution can emerge from the place where the two poles connect.”
With God's heart, you have to act so that the force of love can be connected.
Are you going to be leaders that need saving or are you going to stand on the vertical line of history?
Everyone must go this way in accordance to the principle law of restoring our fallen selves through atonement because we are born in sin.
Are you going to become audacious leaders who will have to stand before God in need of salvation or are you going to go along this vertical line?
The path to the heavenly palace is where man and woman meet as one and follow the path.
As the True Parents have been established on the earth centered on God to reverse the fallen acts of the first parents, Reverend Moon speaks further about the process of opening the pathway of heaven and hell.
“All my life I have loved the enemy -- on the stages of the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, and world, and all the way to the cosmos. Why did I enter Danbury prison?
“It was because of the walls that had blocked the spiritual and physical worlds. In order to resolve what was disrupted due to the fallen parents had to pave a way in the spirit world and in hell.”
Whoever makes effort on this foundation can rise up to the heavenly world.
Also, if there are good spirits among your relatives in the spirit world, they will come to you, educate you and even take you with them to the heavenly world.
Also, the good spirits in the other world can educate the evil spirits in hell. While the good ancestors play the role of the Savior, a way has been opened allowing them to develop and ascend to the heavenly world.
Gradually, through this process, God plans to liberate all His children even the lowest in hell.
True Parents and the gates of Heaven
Our mission is different from past religious organization who only seek individual salvation.
We seek the God’s original idea without any trace of sin or the Fall.
In this ideal world, people perfect their heart, marry centered on God’s love and give birth to godly children and automatically go to heaven upon death.
What kind of heaven is it where the father and children go to hell and the mother goes to heaven?
Heaven is a Kingdom which everyone enters: parents, children, tribes, races and nations.
God does not open the closed gates to heaven by Himself, or He would have done this right after the Fall. Instead, He kicked humanity out of the Garden which represented Heaven on Earth.
Humanity created sin, therefore, humans must receive punishment. All of the thousands of years of Fallen history must be recovered.
If humanity followed God’s word absolutely, then we would enter heaven through connecting to God’s love and unfallen Adam and Eve or True Parents’ love.
Instead, the road to heaven has been deferred throughout history where nobody attain that bond.
The highest level in spirit world one can go is paradise. Majority of humanity entered hell. First ones to enter heaven will be the True Parents.
“If I were to say that heaven is empty, people would think I am demented, yet even Jesus could not enter heaven(he entered paradise). One cannot go there alone, (but as a family).
“Our original ancestors should have grown through adolescence, established the ideal of love centered on God, become parents and bequeathed the seeds of true love. Then, the first place they entered would have been heaven.
“As yet, there have been no parents centered on God's love who were able to bequeath the seeds of true love and thus no foundation of leaving behind such descendants. Heaven, thus, is empty.”
If we want to go to heaven, we must pass through and conquer hell.
Those who conquer all the levels of hell while on earth go to heaven.
God chooses one representative man and one representative woman from the billions of men and women in the world to reverse the act of the first man and woman.
They will be the fruit of the love of humanity.
“You should be resolved to loving that entity which is the fruit of the love of two billion people more than the father and mother who gave birth to you. Then you become someone who can love the four billion people more than your father and mother.
“At that point, you will have nothing to do with Satan because you will be totally one with the realm of God's love. You will then be in the position of loving humanity in oneness with God.”
These representatives will be called the True Father and True Mother.
When you have the heart to love all of humankind, then the gates of hell in spirit world and on earth will be open creating a highway to heaven.
But, you will have to pay for the gasoline to get there.
Angels were supposed to lead the way to heaven, but they rebelled against God.
When you follow this path while loving True Parents and loving humankind more, there will be no roadblocks or no alleys.
We are going along the mainstream of heart, which directly connects to the highway.
Therefore, we can go directly from earth to heaven.
We are entering the era of the realm of heart that loves the parents that have fought against the satanic world.
If you make mistakes in front of the True Parents, you must go this way again.
“Throughout my life, as a parent, I have taken responsibility to prepare the way for my children to go. If you stand in the place where you love humanity with the same heart as you love the True Parents, you will become one with the True Parents and stand in the same line horizontally with True Parents.
“If you do this, Satan cannot influence you, because the realm of fallen heart will be below you. You can connect to heaven directly. To commence this work, I declared the Day of the Opening of the Gate of Heaven.”
Our attitude to the "Opening of the Gate of Heaven"
The straight highway to heaven was prepared and passed on to you.
You inherited the power of heaven. You must then plant God’s love within your mind and body and come one with True Parents’ ideal and then Satan cannot separate you from God.
“Together with me(as the Messiah), you who represent the world have been restoring Cain's sons and daughters. If you too have the heart to love the world more than the True Parents, nothing evil can block your way to God's Kingdom, whether on earth or in heaven.”
Beginning from the level on earth, you go beyond the world and the spirit world and go directly to heaven, or if you cannot go this straight heavenly way, you will go through many high mountains and blocks.
“Knowing this, I dedicated my life up to now to prepare the way. Since I gave you the privilege today to attend the Day of the Opening of the Gate of Heaven, please become the victors who can pass through safely and attain that realm of heart without fail.”
The path to heaven through fulfilling one's portion of responsibility.
You must know where you are on this path? Satan and God divide you between them based on how you have fulfilled your responsibility.
Those who take care of their responsibility while on earth belong to God; those who do not, Satan will claim them as his.
When you get to the gates of heaven, the gatekeeper will ask you whether you did your portion of responsibility.
When you go this path, you can’t worry about money or the trivial things of the secular world. You must long for God’s love and do your responsibility.
No one in the fallen world could enter heaven until the Second Coming where the Messiah opens the way; humanity could only reach paradise.
He has to restore the time of Adam and Eve.
Heaven and hell are our options
We should not complain on this journey of our life of faith.
What is there to which to complain?
We should joyfully go on this road of restoring God’s world even when we are shedding tears.
You are to go laughing while shedding tears.
If you are not able to do so, the Messiah and God cannot help you. You choose whether you go to heaven or hell, God or Satan does not ultimately send you to either one.
The decision is yours.
Complaint is hell, going with gratitude even when there is something to complain about is heaven.
Heaven was never intended to be taught, it is the automatic destination of people of true conscience.
The buds, grass and trees face the sun when it rises. How much more are the people of the Lord’s creation able know to go in the right direction?
