Sow Seeds in People

“When I give sermons, I speak for five or six hours at a time. I do not do that because I like to.

“The gist of a sermon is simple and does not even require a fifteen minute talk. I speak that long because I try to make it easy for different types of people, for those who have come to hear, to understand the gist by explaining to them using many examples, and to have them participate within that sphere.

“The purpose is to sow as many seeds as possible in the spring season. If I sow many seeds, many plants will grow.”


Where must you sow the seeds, then? It must be an unspoiled place. Where is that?

The time of adolescents.

Once you sow seeds in the young people, this fruit will last a lifetime and will never be uprooted.

When is the time people are most sensitive?

In elementary school.

In the time of middle and high school, our senses become duller.  At the time of university, it is like passing a village, like an activity.

The most difficult time is during elementary school.

Next is during middle and high school. As time goes by, their senses dull. We must sow the seeds of life accordingly.

You can accumulate eternal assets for the future through teaching children at Sunday school children songs and tell them stories or such things.

Testify to God’s word every time you meet elderly people.  

Members are not doing these things well. You can witness better when you to take the bus or subway than driving your car and talk to ten people, ask them question and get to know them.

You can arrange to see them and introduce the Principle, the Completed Testament to them.  There is enough material for you to witness as much as you want.

When you commute on the same route everyday for twelve months a year, you get to recognize and know people by their faces and tap into an interactive network.  Why do you waste time when this path is cleared?


More important than eating is harvesting the citizens of heaven. 





This is our main occupation while on earth is to witness God’s word.

Among all of the works you do in your lifetime, this is more important than a job, making money or power.

Money becomes useless in the next world, things and knowledge are also unnecessary.

In the spirit world, your mind knows ahead of time everything within a week without being taught.




What is needed there is love-centered harmonizing power, love-centered influential power. 






Therefore, those who do not have love-centered influential will not be able to harmonize with the original world that move by the influence of love.

They will be repelled when they arrive to spirit world and end up in hell.

“You say you have lived and worked for the Unification Church ever since you joined it, but you should consider in what position you have worked. Always ask yourselves in which direction you are headed and in which position you are located.

“If you do that prayerfully, God will be with you. You will know it the moment you close your eyes -- even without praying.

“As you go somewhere to give a talk, the right word  just flow out of your mouth. If you come across conscientious people, you are drawn to enter their houses.”



Everything seeks relationship. 





Even flowers have the power of attraction to create relationships.

A magnet in essence is eternally unchanging.

Even if you see someone for the first time, it does not mean that you cannot relate to that person.

If you go to such a place, you feel joyful and are inspired to speak.

What will you say to God who has been working to restore us with great pains to this day find Adam?

Since the beginning of time, God has been looking for a perfect son.

“You all know the Principle. This is the weapon that can save countless people. Until now, God could not teach humankind and consequently had to guide the work of redemption amid ignorance.”

God’s words in the Principle is an enlightened path that can assemble a following of hundreds and thousands of Adams.  We must connect them to eternal life.

The topic of eternal life is a serious matter.

When you are with your contacts, have the heart that wants to convey the Principle to them all night without getting tired.  Go all out and inspire them at your first meeting.



You should not be doing anything other than finding sons and daughters whom you can take with you to heaven. 




If you had hundreds of millions of dollars and lived richly, that will all pass away in the next world.

Invest all your materials, knowledge and your very lives all at one time to create heavenly citizens.

How much you invest will be proportional to the amount of your input your input.
It is shameful for you members to proudly fancy yourselves.

How many lives have you saved from your own efforts?

The degree to which you will be praised eternally before heaven for your achievements depends on how many heavenly citizens you harvested.

There had no been a way to harvest them until now.

They could not do it because they did not know, but with the Principle  you have an A-frame carrier on your back.

You can bring in an explosive harvest once you start spreading God's words passionately.

However, because you are wasting time even with that kind of real internal power, God wants to strike you with a thunderbolt.

It matters not whether it is midnight or dawn, whether night or day. When Heaven is ready to receive you, you cannot say to Him, "Oh, I just want to sleep!" In that position, you just run straight through.
We must provide education concerning the issue of eternal life.

“From now on, assume that responsibility. I cannot curse those who oppose the Unification Church. God wants them to connect with me and commit themselves, but if they drop out that is our church's responsibility and I must assume responsibility for that.

“This world came to oppose us: because of Satan, but it is our responsibility to overcome those adverse circumstances quickly. If we do not, our situation will be all the more miserable from the resultant damage it will sustain.”

It is the same as nursing a baby. If you give birth to a baby, you have to nurse it. That is why people come looking for you.

Therefore, when they do, never treat them coldly.

Leave a Tomb of Love Behind

What to leave behind before going to the spirit world

Leave a tomb of love behind

When we think of eternity, we don’t think of just a few decades or centuries, but we think in terms of millennia, tens of millennia or eons.


When people die, they are no different from animals. 



Even atheists think that they should make a name for themselves before they die.

Yet, what is the use in leaving a name?

Even if you did so, historically speaking, something that was considered good during a period of prosperity can later be viewed as bad during a period of decline

Even a great American patriot can be honored with a monument, but when America perishes it will disappear.

God’s purpose is to leave His prosperity to populate the earth.

When we leave children of the Living God behind on the earth and stand before God in the spirit world, we stand in His position.

This is the meaning behind the Genesis verse, "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.”

What is it you need to do with your life?

You need to leave a tomb of love behind.

You may feel bitter sorrow if you live in a place like a tomb, but you will feel no sadness if you leave a tomb of love behind in your lifetime.

Our life becomes successful for eternity if we live in this way and die.  Then God will bring His sons and daughters to welcome you in the spirit world.

If you do not have a ring on your finger, then God will put a diamond ring of the Kingdom of Heaven on your hand.

If you do not have fine clothes, God will dress you with the finest royal apparel fit for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Witnessing determines property rights in Heaven

What you own in spirit world is determined by how many citizens you bring to the Kingdom of Heaven.

They will be your assets, your eternal assets.

It is the time where millions of people can be witnessed to in a day through the Internet.  We have such potential.

How many people are wandering around like lunatics wondering whether they will live or die.






The bigger your heart of love is when you enter the spirit world, the more people will line up to be with you. 





A person who lived with such love while on the earth will be respected in the spirit world.

Myriads of people will flock around this person and want to live with him.  He will become exceedingly wealthy in this world.

What kind of person becomes wealthy in the next world?

The person that lives for the sake of love while on earth will be wealthy in the next world.



Witnessing is the way to collect blessings of love. 





We become owners that recover the property of heaven that has been stolen by thieves from the satanic world.

We approach these people with the heart of loving their mother and father more than they do and bring them back to God and blessings related to love.

If you live in this way, even if you are poorly treated, you will not perish.

Thousands if not millions of saints and all of the things of creation will follow you and you will therefore become wealthy naturally.



You enter the spirit world without money. 





As people of faith, we should take care of Satan’s children with the heart of the Father.

If each member was to witness 120 people and bring them to the Kingdom of Heaven through engrafting them to the Messiah’s pure lineage, a condition to save them will be established.

In order to go through the twelve pearly gates in the spirit world, you must, while on earth, recover the citizens of heaven from Satan.

To recover God’s lost, you must do so through shedding tears of blood and sweat with the heart of true love for the creation.  Invest your heart more than your forefathers and mothers, wives, sons and daughters of the satanic world have done.

If you are unable to do this before crossing over to the next world, you cannot claim any heavenly citizens as your own.

In proportion to the number of citizens you add to heaven, you leave a condition to place you in a position of glory and a close proximity to God

You do not take money, glory or position to the next world, but the name lof the Unification Church.



What you should do from now on is make many sons and daughters as possible for God to love.

During this time of recovering God’s children from the satanic world whom God can directly love, your deeds will be linked to your ancestor and help liberate them from the bonds of hell.

This is the greatest gift you can obtain through this path of restoration.

Even if you obtain the high position of a regional director, if you do not have any spiritual sons and daughters, you will go to the spirit world with an empty can in your hand, because you won't have even one person attached to you.



Heaven is an infinite world requiring bridges linking up with the heart of love. 





Thus, the more the people you witnessed to spread over the world, the more extensively you will be able to get around in the spirit world.

Everyone will want to link up with you.

The relationships that you are able to resolve in heaven because of having resolved them on earth will create a vast base of activity when you go to the spirit world.

It will all be yours.

Therefore, your activity can spread out to the entire spirit world based upon this standard of living.

If you do not have this base, you will be pushed into a corner and your activities will be restricted.  There is no time to be idle and rest in this process of bringing God’s children back to His bosom.

We must therefore recover heaven's citizens. They become your assets there.

We must quickly digest all of evil humanity and the world. If we do this, all the spirits in the next world will undergo returning resurrection.

If the satanic lineage reverses to God’s foundation, then the archangel who brought destruction and dominated Adam will listen and follow him.

The original ideal was for Lucifer to follow and have absolute obedience to God’s children and enter the realm of Adam’s love together with God’s love and naturally enter heaven with Adam.

This is the principle.

Since humanity was unable to fulfill this while on earth, a mess was caused which needs to be cleaned up.



We are to open the way for restoration through indemnity, reversing bad history. 




Therefore, you must realize the tremendous value of witnessing.

The important question is how many people you can register into the realm of eternal life.

We must bear fruit.

On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus went up to a fig tree to see if it had any fruit. When he found it to be without fruit, he cursed it, and it withered and died.

This is how it is for those who do not bear fruit for God.

What is the use in keeping up appearances for others, you should create familes that will become your harvest.

You need to bring 120 people, even hundreds.

Without being able to do that, it does not make sense for you to love your own sons and daughters.

Why 120?

The number 120 represents the nations of the world at the time of Jesus. The 430 families are equivalent to all the surnames in one nation. The 430 families represent 4,300 years of Korean history.

“Through them, I opened the gate for the citizens represented by these surnames to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Although I have opened it, it does not mean they have actually entered.”

This is not empty talk; it is logical. Do not kill time.

Only when you give birth to sons and daughters and raise them up during your younger years can you leave to your descendants a foundation to be proud of.

Only when your children become great people can you stand proud before history. Without such actual results, you might be accepted at the family or village level, but not at the national level.

To have such a foundation, you need actual results that can be passed on as a tradition to your children.

For this reason, everyone desires to leave something behind for the nation, world, and heaven and earth.

This applies to you, too.

Have a clear understanding that your main purpose in life is to have ownership.

Therefore your thinking on the way toward God’s will is never to give up, even if you do not like walking this path.

“Why would I take on that responsibility even if it means I have to go to prison and suffer there alone to save people from suffering in such circumstances.

“People in suffering circumstances will follow if it can benefit them. By following, they are harvested.

“When I go to the spirit world, because all I have done will be welcomed as something public, I will go to the highest position of the heavenly kingdom.”



If citizens are well educated, the nation prospers. 




The same principle applies to you.
How well can your reason with people, straighten out their wrong attitudes and leave behind your ideals that are centered on the realm of life of the heavenly kingdom.

If we accomplish this, then the world will be restored quickly.

This is why you should devote your life to raise such people.

Living Just for Self is Evil

How should we spend the rest of our lives?

We should follow this road of tribulation from now on indemnifying the sinful past.

The important issue when you manage your life is whether you live your life individualistically or for the public.

For whom do you eat, wear or buy and sell things in your daily life?  For just yourself or for God’s Will?

The issue is whether you live your life publicly or privately.



Pledge to go the public way. 




Anyone placed with the responsibility to indemnify or reverse history’s past mistakes must advance to the stage which everyone desires to go.

Therefore, throughout your daily life we must transcend the feelings that are very selfish and private and embody public feelings. This is the important issue which all people of faith must be concerned with.

What is sin?

Sin comes into existence when private matters exist.  Ruin appears within the sphere of private matters.  Evil act in the same way.



When we pursue private matters, they manifest as evil





There is a limit to private matters.

When it is in excess, then sin, evil and ruin result.

Then where is eternal good come, eternal prosperity and eternal fortune?

What position must we be in where we can prevent sin, evil and ruin?  The position where we are protected from such matters is when we pursue public matters.

When you work, work from a public standpoint.

When you speak, be able to digest any situation by using public words.

Then, through this way, live your life connected with matters which are public.

Such people who live a public life cannot go to hell even if they try.


Experience love

Do you live your lives only thinking that you are the only one?  Are you just limited to just yourself?

It is easy to think in this way, but if all the elements our parents and creation were removed, then we would disappear.

Then what is this being we call ‘self’?

We are in a position to represent our mother and father.

We inherit our mother and father’s blood and flesh through the period in the womb and they provide for us.

The terms Mother Earth and Mother Nature come into being because the earth is our mother who provides us with elements at different levels.

We breath through an umbilical cord while in our mother’s womb.  This hose links us to our mother’s body.

The moment of our first cry we are connected to this second world of air.

Our nostrils are the absolute supply line.

We will die if both or our nostrils are blocked.  Have you ever thought of this?
It is made with a dual structure.

When a baby comes out from the womb to connect to the world of air, the umbilical cord, the amniotic sac and the placenta that it depended on for its life in the womb are destroyed and die.

What appears at that same moment of death? The baby comes out into the universe, to Mother Earth, and comes to live by the supply of elements through its mouth.

After coming out of the womb, what must our body do? While we are breathing through the umbilical cord in the womb, we are also preparing the nostrils as the airway. Then, when we emerge from the womb, we switch the use of the organ and begin to breathe.

Just as this natural process of human development in the womb, we must love, inhaling the love while on earth from our mother and father.



We must undergo all processes of life by the supply of the air of love. 




Once we are born in a family, we go up and down the cycles of life along a sine curve.

We grow, we age and then we die and dissolve returning to the stage of being a baby.

What happens when we die?

We leave the second ‘womb’ and connect to the third breathing organ of love.

We leave parental love and fraternal love and enter the world of love that is harmonious with God of the great cosmos.


The spirit world is filled with the air of love.



We must prepare now so we can breathe in the air of love in the next world

We are only immortal when we become people who feel spiritual love and breathe the air of love.

When we kick away the womb of Mother Earth, we breathe with the respiratory organs of love.

We can gain eternal life only when we inherit the third love.

After we are connected with love, then we return to God and are linked to the respiratory organ of love.

Those who do not give love while on the earth have not developed their love organ and will be unable to breathe in the other world - this is hell.




Since the seed was initiated by the Original Being, it must bear fruit and return to Him.






We are on a traveler’s journey through this course of life.

Even though our life here is just a passing moment, we should experience love.

The Fall meant that we could not receive our Parent’s love.

We must form a family that is centered on true parental love, true fraternal love, true conjugal love and true filial love.

We also establish many families in the north, south, east and west. Then these families should form true families that are linked to the other families, tribe, people, nation and world. When this world is bound by love, this is called the Kingdom of Heaven, world peace will be established.

Be Like God and His Heart

We are modeled after God’s heart and heavenly character

Even the healthiest and richest person has to one day discard their physical body and move on to the spirit world.

Therefore, since death is inevitable, we must all prepare and be ready for it.  We should endure the hardships on earth in order to form a good character that will live in the eternal world.

While in the womb, we need good prenatal care in order to be born healthy.  In the same way, our life on earth is like the womb.

As we grow, we risk our lives to overcome obstacles that hinder us from becoming like God’s form, heart and character.


Do not sin



An electrical pole stands upright just as the mind is straight.  This is why people walk upright - to make your mind completely vertical.

The body forms a horizontal line. The perpendicular force and the force of rotation must be balanced. Accordingly, you must find yourself.

When you say that you are yourself, God should agree with you.  Then your relatives, your clan, and the nation must also agree that what you say is right.

The one who is accused by them is the problem.

In the future, continents will not be as segregated by borders as it is now, but divided between frigid zones and temperate zones.

The time will come when Heaven on Earth will become a reality. Those who want to continue to sin will be sent to the North Pole just like patients with contagious diseases are quarantined.


Live and die for the world

“I did not work hard for the sake of the Asian situation or the Korean people. Think about how to fulfill your responsibilities in the global field and be willing to die for this cause.”

Reverend Sun Myung Moon

We must live and die for the sake of the world and go beyond the individual and family level and stand on the global level.

What position should we leave the earth?  We should die while embracing our loving spouse, family, tribe and nation.

How will the founder of the Unification Church die?

“I will die for the sake of the world, while embracing its people and the Republic of Korea also. If the Korean people unite and die for the sake of the world, there will be a path for them to be able to live with the world. That is why I go forward seeking that path.”

Work hard

“If you need money, make it. If you need people, work hard without eating and sleeping to raise them on this path.

“Never ask anyone for help. Do not rely on the church headquarters for help; you should help them instead. Work more than three times harder than ordinary people.

“That is why, if I were to live for 70 years, my life content would actually be equivalent to 210 years. Likewise, don't think of living for I00 years; instead, think of working three times harder than others.

“If you were to live that way for 70 years, it would be worth 210 years. Think this way: if you worked ten times harder, you would live 700 years; if you worked twenty times harder, you would live 1400 years.

“You should work twenty-four hours a day throughout your entire life. Only when you live that way can you bear fruit and increase your ownership of love in the spirit world.

“Your fortune of love will grow. Your ownership will grow and your sphere of activities will expand.”
Work for the public good

All the laws of heaven promote public righteousness.


Private matters belong to Satan, and public matters belong to God. 


Go the way of public righteousness.
If everyone opposes you while you stand this course and you are not disturbed by the opposition and go the way of hardship with vitality, you will become a person whom heaven will welcome.
You can observe this principle yourself.  If you see a shopkeeper who is greedy, you will notice that the customers will not buy things from him.


No one likes a greedy person.


Everyone naturally knows how to manage one’s life when it comes to public and private matters.

If you do not make it to heaven, you cannot make the excuse that you did not know how to properly manage your life.

Why?

We already know the distinction between matter that are public and private without being taught.

Let’s say you had a delicious snack that was equally split between you and your sister.  You already ate your share, but your sister keeps her share.

You wake up late at night hungry and you secretly eat your sister’s cake which she had her heart set on to eat maybe with breakfast.

Just before you eat it, or while you are thinking about eating it, your own conscience will cry out, “You devil!”

You should be able to feel your conscience protest before you do an evil act.

Why? Because your conscience pursues public matters. If you follow private desires you will perish.

A mind that follows the laws of heaven is a mind that defends and protects a person from falling into destruction.

God originally had such a mind, human beings came to have the same mind from the start.

This law is not made by man.

Can you reason with your mind that you want to do an unlawful deed because that is the way you think or the way you are?  Would the mind surrender and follow your way?

We may not know directly where the conscience receives its instructions from, but we know it is not from us.

Our mind chooses public over private matters.

When people struggle at they come to the crossroads between good and evil, and public and private matters, they finally fall into a self-centered private life.

Those who fall into a selfish lifestyle will eventually perish no matter how successful they become.

Therefore, they should repent for their past, private lives and push themselves back into a public way of life.

People waver between going the way of a private life to a more other-centered lifestyle.

But after the Fall, people are more inclined to live a private life where they only concern with themselves and distance themselves from the public good.

This is how you have lived your life of faith until today, so therefore, you should repent for living a private life-style.

We all want good fortune and to live forever.

But in order to do so you must become public people.

Become people who don’t just love your children only as your own, but become people who love their children as an offering for the sake of the people in the world who are suffering.




When holding your babies to your breasts and nursing them, think of yourselves and your babies as representatives of the entire human race on earth.




Nurse your babies with such a heart.

Instead of just caring for your own children’s wellbeing, cherish other people’s children as if they were your children with a loving heart.

Babies who are raised by such mothers will certainly become great people.

Such a result may not come to the surface right away, but after the first and second generation of
descendants, great figures who can rule the world will be born in that family.

This is the formula.

Which lifestyle do you prefer to  live to indemnify the past: private or public?

Both have a purpose.

But those who stand up at the risk of their lives to devote themselves for the public good will become great people.

A new history will be created by a group of people like this.

We Need Love Before We Die

What you need on earth is love.

We call a child who does not have parental love an orphan. Why?

Because love enables us to be connected to the spirit world and our heavenly Parent who resides in that world.

Therefore, those unmarried people who live alone are pitiful.  Marriage allows one to experience all levels of love and love that can only be shared between a husband and wife.

Death means to inherit love after the physical body is destroyed.

The body thus engages in the second type of respiration.

Love is invisible, so the internal self grow through parental and love of the spouse.

The embryo must be nourished and grow properly while in the womb.  In the same manner, the baby must
grow well on earth.

In the larval stage, a dragonfly cannot imagine it would soon fly around preying on bugs.  They begin life in this universe thinking it is their stage.



There are many insects that go through three stages of life. 





Insects have wings in general. They go through their life living in the water, on land and in the air.

Humans who are the lords of creation do not have wings.  Therefore, we receive a set of wings of a higher dimension.


Death is the blessed gateway to our second birth.


What is the meaning of death?

The time of living on earth is living in air which parallels to the time of swimming in our mother’s womb.

Death itself is not unique, but only our rebirth into the third life. That moment of transition is what we call death.

Things to do before we die: Crossing the last border

We will all die once in our lifetime.

There is no value in a life lived doing well most of the way and then collapsing before crossing the finish line.

We must pass over the line even if we have to brave the fiercest storm.

We must pass over even if we have to brave the fiercest storm. There is no value in doing well most of the way and then collapsing before crossing the finish line.

You all are such a motley crew, but it is good that you joined. Even if we run with our mind totally focused, we cannot be confident we will make it all the way.


Don't get all flustered and give up in the middle.

We win victory only as we dash across the finish line, the last border.

No matter what opposition or persecution we get from behind, we should not stop and  continue on this path.

We should not concern ourselves with the opposition.  The person who works hard on this destined road taking one step at a time will eventually cross the final border.

We all must go this way.

We are modeled after God’s heart and heavenly character

Even the healthiest and richest person has to one day discard their physical body and move on to the spirit world.

Therefore, since death is inevitable, we must all prepare and be ready for it.  We should endure the hardships on earth in order to form a good character that will live in the eternal world.

While in the womb, we need good prenatal care in order to be born healthy.  In the same way, our life on earth is like the womb.  As we grow, we risk our lives to overcome obstacles that hinder us from becoming like God’s form, heart and character.

Death Brings Value to Life

The word ‘death’ brings an understanding of the meaning of life.


Do we truly know the value of life?


Those who seek life do not live and those who live trying to fathom the value of life while they cling to God while the crossroads of life and death are in view truly know the value.


Many people commit suicide in this fallen world through sleeping pills and other methods.


Who do you think commits suicide more, men or women?


Men are able to approach a problem from different perspectives while women think there is only one way out of a situation.


Men are able to avoid death through looking at viable alternative. Therefore the suicide rate is lower.
 
Death is a process to link three worlds


It is natural that we want to resemble God. Also God wants us as His sons and daughters to resemble Him.


As people of faith, we work everyday to make this possible through the process of restoring ourselves to our original unfallen selves.


We must be reborn into a body that resembles God.


God and humankind past and present both are eagerly waiting the day where humanity can be reborn.


That day is the day of our death.

Since this is the case, people should welcome or fear the day of death.

They should welcome.


In the original world, God intended the day of death to be the day that we return to the world of God’s true love.


It is the day that we discard the physical world and leave the realm of limited love to the world of God’s infinite love.
 
 

Death leads to birth in God's love, but in this world.





Instead, people have come to fear this day.


Our death was to be the moment we welcome the joy of leaving the limited love in a limited body and enter the world of God.


Therefore, the moment of death is the moment of your second birth.


Knowing this fact about the purpose of death, would God be joyful or tearful of the birth of your death?

“You might wonder why I talk about such things. You cannot establish a relationship with God without liberating yourself from the fear of death.”
 
We go through three stages: formation, growth and completion stage.
We go from the realm of water in our mother’s womb, then to the realm of planet earth and finally, the aerial realm of earth.


In other words, people go through three periods: the period of water in the womb, the period of being born and living a hundred years on this earth, and then the period of flying in the aerial world.


We are born from the depths of water, grow in the womb where we need to draw in and expel water and live through a cord that is connected to its stomach that nourishes us.


The navel is a second mouth when we are in the womb, so we should not be disdainful of our navel.


If you pat your navel and say, "Belly button, you took pains for me in the past." If you pat your navel many times, you'll improve your health if you do that a lot.


Even when you sleep in a cold room, if you cover your navel, you won't get diarrhea.


The breathing organ then moves up from the navel. It continues to go up.


We must cut off the umbilical cord that is attached to the navel and enter the world of air.


Our spirit self is attached to our physical self or body just like the embryo is in the womb and feeds off our mother’s physical body.

When our body gets older, our spirit self discards the physical body and enters the spirit world.


The embryo is born on earth and becomes the object of love of its mother and father, likewise, our spirit self must be reborn as a person who can relate to the eternal God our spiritual Father.


This is in accordance with fundamental principles and laws.


People are born on earth where they share love with their physical mother and father. 

Likewise, we enter spirit world to share love with God, our Parent, whom we connect to with the spirit world, the world of flying.

 

Those who breathe in love on the earth are not dead but alive.
   

We breathe in our mother’s womb through a pipe-like device.

We rise to a higher dimension of air after we are born.


We develop love; we receive elements of love.


We should not live just to eat, drink, work and sleep for this is a life of dying.


It would be living to just fill a water bag. This is the path of death. All of that is a secondary existence.

Therefore, we must form a new character of love during this period.

The Kind of Hope, Goes Beyond Death

The meaning of the Korean word toraganda

We know that the spirit world exists.

Since we were born from the spirit world, then we must return there.

The word toraganda, which means to die, is interesting.

We do not return to a cemetery, but to the place of our origin.  We do not depart from the cemetery

We return across the vast expanses of history and beyond its origin.

When we return as a human being does not mean we are born and return as a Korean or an American.

If one dies as a Korean, they do not return on that path as one.  We return to the original world that brought our ancestors forth.

What does that mean?

We all return to the place of our Creator.

We originate from the Creator, that is where we return.

The universe works in a circular motion: the snow that covers the mountain melts and flows down  into the valley and into the oceans and rivers.  Then it evaporates and returns to the mountains as rain to complete the cycle.


Everything circulates. 



Where do we return?

We all have a desire to return to a higher and better place.  No one wants to get smaller.

The laws of nature dictate that the everything diminishes through action.

If something rolls, it does not roll for eternity.  It begins to roll rapidly and then it decelerates and finally stops.

The place to which we must go

Even though we live in this world, it is not the only world that exists.

The spirit world indeed exists.

God did not intend for this world and the spirit world be separate but to be integrated.
Where do we are we to go and live?

Of course, while we live physically on the earth we are all destined to go to the eternal world.

Ordinarily, people are born, pass their youth, reach their prime, enter old age and enter their second life like the setting sun.

Those you know about the eternity of spirit world, know that this lifetime is just a fleeting moment compared to where we go after we pass.

Our life here is only meant to prepare us to welcome the world of eternity.


The day we pass on is a precious day

If the world Adam and Eve had followed God’s direction, a unified world would have been formed.

Adam’s birth, his wedding day and the day he returned to the earth would have been commemorated dates where the world would celebrate.

The world would have been a unified brotherhood of one people if man followed God.

We would now be a people that lived in one world.

All of the customs throughout the history of humankind and  the cultures would have been inherited eternally from the Garden of Eden.

On the other hand, we inherited the wrongful seed the first man and womn planted.


The spiritual connection of life and death

No matter how much we try to avoid it, we will all enter death when our time comes.

Everyone enters spirit world in different states.  Some die at a ripe old age while others die at a young age.

Those who die untimely deaths, may die due to punishments to indemnify their ancestors, their own sins or the sins of their society, people and the world.

“If three prominent young people in a village die, good fortune will come to that village. If three promising youths of a clan die, good fortune will come to that clan. In other words, indemnity must be paid. It applies everywhere. The principle or causality operates everywhere.”


If God placed a person in a central position that had the same value of that of a total of a thousand people, if those thousand people followed him as he walked the path of death, they, too will enter the same blessed realm as he.



The reason people try to discover the thoughts of patriots and sages and follow them is to enter the same realm of their blessing.






Last year several members went to spirit world.

This year, several more will go there. Why do we speak about this?

Once we reach a certain stage and go up toward other stages, we cannot avoid to pay indemnity along this path of restoration.

There are people on earth that live with hope and some who live without hope.

There are two kinds of hope: humanistic and God-centered hope.

From the day we are born, we grow up thinking that our mother’s bosom is the best thing there is.  Once we leave our mother’s bosom, we come to have friends and believe they are the best thing around.

No matter how much we come to love our friends, we depart from them.

As we grow older, we find that neither our loving parents, spouse, or children can completely satisfy our hopes.

People have hope, but eventually when they are unfulfilled those hopes vanish.  We have hope four our family, country or even for our world.

But these hopes may fade as we age.

There are not many who live on earth that have a firm conviction that have hope to be proud of.  The hope that they were unable to live apart from at one time, they now do not believe that it is worth losing their lives over.

After living here on earth, we are all destined to fight and go beyond death like Jesus did.

People may have certain types of hope, but in the end, when they pass away, they will abandon these hopes.

They will wander about to seek a new hope

When people look from their own situation, they think they are hopeful, but they are unable to have hope that goes beyond death.

If people do not have such hope, they cannot pass the summit of death.

They disappear from earth without having hope.

Are we going to be people who understand this pattern of life, or will we seek hope that can last and laugh at the face of death?


All things of this world will pass away. 




Our nation, world, families will pass away.

Ideologies and philosophies will pass away as well.  What will then remain.

It is the hope where we can fight and win over death.  If we do not have such a determination, then we are failures in our life.

On the other hand, there is a group that from birth knew to reject the secular world’s desires and their humanistic thinking.  They live embracing a heavenly hope, an eternal hope.

Heaven has made limitless efforts in order for the fallen humanity on earth to live with a kind of hope that goes over the peak of death with a new hope and live regarding the eternal world.

People who live a life of faith should not embrace fallen, humanistic hope.  They should live dreaming of the eternal world of hope that conquers death.

The Path We All Must Take

The body is far from eternal life

The earth breathes and moves just as our bodies do.

Your cells breathe as well.

Would you rather live eternally on earth, or would you rather live eternally in a place where you are a full entity of love?

In our physical body, we cannot see God when He wants to reveal Himself.  This is why our spirit self is needed.




God is in the center of the spirit.






As God's counterparts, He wants to bequeath to us everything from the eternal realm.


How the majority of people live

We are all headed toward a destination whether we know it or not.

The nation, the world and even heaven and earth are headed there as well.  This is an undeniable fact.  You are driven by this destiny.

Where are you headed after this life ends?

Religions arose to deal with this issue.

Where are our minds and hearts trying to go?  Also, our wishes and hopes.  Where are they trying to go?

Even though humanity has not truly resolved these issues, we are still destined to go in any case.

On the day that this body is buried in the ground, will our mind, our heart and hopes be buried together along with the body?

We should look at this with solutions and a purposeful perspective.

Every saint and sage and founders of religions stopped on their normal paths of life to ask the questions of their minds and their hearts.

They wondered where they were headed and they struggled to resolve these issues.

Even though numerous saints gave their life to answer these questions, there still has not been anybody who could confidently claim that their body, their heart and mind went to such an ideal place.

Religious and conscientious people all desire for the end of this fallen world which originated from private desires.

Over a millennia, religions have awaited a public world -  a single, unified world of peace without borders or conflicts.

How should religious people live?

They should shorten the path to restore historical mistakes and link this path to the world and cosmos.

A family that lives walking this path is far more interesting.  This is a liberated family that becomes a true family.

“Walking the streets of Myungdong in Seoul, one sees young couples being affectionate. For whom are they doing that? They say they do that to enjoy their youth, which they have but once.

“That's fine, but who is the owner of enjoyment? This is a serious question. How long can you enjoy life? You do so from your twenties, but it will not last after you pass your sixties, seventies, and eighties.

“Yet the way of the Unification Church is different. For what purpose do we eat? For the sake of the world and to abolish this evil world. We see in order to clean up this evil world -- not to become a part of the evil side but to defeat it. How we hear, think, walk and act is different from the secular world.”




God created us as precious beings whom He cherishes eternally.





God derives joy from us as His object partners.  Since God is eternal, we must also be eternal beings.

Many people live centered on such thinking that they will live until they are eighty and think that when they die that is it.  Throughout history, the question of immortality has been pondered and people wonder if they can live for eternity on earth and never die.

Then they ask, what is the meaning of life?

They wonder what is the point in just being born and pass away.  They just conclude that life is just suffering and that we just come and go like the grass of the fields.

The more people held on to this ideal, the more they thought and asked themselves, "What's the meaning of life? Why are people born and then go away like travelers?" and

Death is inevitable

One day we will go to the spirit world.

Even if people visit Korea at Gimpo Airport, it does not mean they traveled in Korea.  Where do we go afterward?

We go to a county.  From there a township, then a village.  From there we must go to a neighborhood.  This is not an easy task.

If we cannot determine a dwelling place, then there is no value in having a successful social life.

“If God orders me to come, even tomorrow night, no matter how great I may be today, I have no choice but to go.

“However loudly I might protest, I would have to go. I will go while protesting loudly, but only after speaking the right words. I must present the way that the nation and the world must go. It will be my death if I fail to do so.”

God is the owner of life

“Who is the origin of life? Not I.”

The origin and purpose of life must transcend me.  Actually, our life did not originate from our parents, society or a nation, but from God.

Only when you link your origin to the cause, the purpose of life, and deny your fallen self, then you make a leap and transcend.

You must link your life to the transcendent motive; it does not begin with yourself.

It began with the absolute God.

If you link yourself in this way, then when you die, you will be within the transcendent process because of God's Will.

People do not live for a millennia or for centuries.  They die within a century or so.

Among the numerous ancestors who have died throughout history, if any of them live with a public mindedness that met the standards of the universe, they would have left a legacy that lasted a millennum.

Instead, our ancestors lived selfishly and perished.  They brought everything to ruin.

This kind of selfish lifestyle causes problems.

The bigger problem is how can we replace the way of looking at everything from an ego system with one that serves a higher purpose.

The question is how do we shift from emphasizing self-centeredness to benefiting the greater good.

We must reverse the way of living individualistic lives.

This requires action.

If you only had one pair of clothing, you would fight for your life to keep others from taking it off of your body.

If you had a change of clothing for every season, when it is spring and you see people dressed in winter clothes, you show them your spring clothing and tell them they wear winter clothes and take them off.  If it is summer and people wear spring clothing tell them to change according to the weather.

But those people do not see the need to change.  They were unaware that something of greater value existed.

The same goes for those who are living in a lifestyle centered only on their own self-interest.  Until someone shows them the truth, they may not see the value of living a life for others.

On the earth we have parents, teachers and relatives. We have ways to establish such relationships on the earth, but not in the spirit world.

Everyone practices God-centered public-spiritedness.

The position one holds is differentiated.  Those above cannot descend below, and those below do not easily ascend.

It was God's original idea that we would not pass on to the spirit world until we achieved perfection on earth.

Adam and Eve to were to perfect their love to God before the blessing of marriage, live, and die in perfect oneness with Him therefore, naturally going to Heaven after living on Heaven on Earth.

It is an absolute that we will each die.

This life course is short compared to eternity.

Even if a person lived a life span of eighty years, it is equivalent to less than eight hours in spirit world time.

When we look at our time here on earth, it is even less than that amount of time in eternity.

This means the power of true love is great.  The speed of true love is so great that is beyond our understanding.

Our Spirit Body Resides in Spirit World

Spirit is the essence of life

Wherever a nucleus exists, there is a related being that revolves around it.

On the same token, humans are meant to revolve around God.

God naturally pursues restoring our minds, like an electron, because we relate to God’s which is like a nucleus.



When we seek the word of truth, we can feel God's life pulsating.





The harmony of God’s love is within in His Word.

Once we seek God’s love and life through the path of truth, we then become people of value.  The truth is eternal and unchanging.

We find the truth once we begin to distinguish the difference between good and evil in the fallen world.
We must be selfless and self evaluation.

The Bible also teaches us that those who exalt themselves will be humbled and that those who humble themselves will be exalted (Matthew 23:12; Luke 14:11; 18:14).

In essence, we are spiritual beings.

We may not realize the depth of how much living for the sake others until we go to the

If God, a selfless being, created us in His image, why do we persist so much in living selfishly?

It is because all of humanity inherited the sinful blood of the angel who fell away from God.  Satan contravened the heavenly law.

We have a spiritual body which needs to be nourished by spiritual food.

To be able to stand and survive on God’s side, you need to train yourself to like the taste of spiritual food more than physical food.  God’s words tastes as sweet as honey.

A life based on spiritual power, far exceeds that of a life centered on physical might.

The meaning of lord of all creation

Who is the lord of all creation, and what does the term mean?

People may say that human beings are lord of all creations, but fundamentally, God is.

Since we know that the spirit exist within each of us and we are the leaders among the spirits, finally, we are lords over all creation that is directly connected to God.



Human beings cannot become the lords of all creation on their own. 




How can a created being become a lord over the creation?

As created beings, we are a reciprocal and resultant beings.

“The lords of all creation I am referring to are those occupying the central position in the spirit world. I am talking about the originally intended relationship of oneness between God and humankind.”

Those lords of all creation are in the position to communicate with God.
Even though we are called the lords of creation, not all of fallen humanity is qualified to be one.



Those who live selfish individual lives are not eligible to join the club of the lords of creation.





Those who live their lives seeking the greater good are eligible to go to heaven.

God seeks to fulfill what He wishes through such people.  Heaven will become theirs.

Therefore, people should live eternally.  Yet, in this evil world, people do not see the difference between the death of an ant and that of a human being.

How can such people be true lords over the creation?



Our mind does not age; it is immutable and carries the highest authority.




Everything else undergoes change.

Even pure gold weathers away.

So, how can be we determined to be the lords of creation?

It would not be through money, knowledge, or power, but rather, God’s sublime love.


Inner person and outer person

What is our original destiny as humans?

We are meant to enjoy perfected love and take these values of praise and respect within the realm of God’s absolute love.



Humanity emerged amidst the complete union and harmony of the destinies of heaven and earth. 




Hence, we have an invisible mind and a visible body which corresponds to spirit world.

If we were aligned to this original destiny, would our minds and body be in conflict or would they be in unity?

They would be in total unity.

Your inner self and your outer person are also in conflict with each other. Do you feel a constant struggle when you want to do good things?

This is why God has been working hard to restore us to our original selves.

When will this conflict end?

It will not happen automatically, but will take much effort and faith.

Many believe that God created human beings with this conflict within ourselves.  If we were ordered in this way, then God would not be a god with a single purpose but a god with two separate purposes.

He would not be a God of peace, but a chaotic god.

Every law in the universe pursues a certain purpose, but they do not counter cross or conflict with other laws.

Therefore, we can see that we were not created in a conflicted way either.

Let us seek our original good mind and push aside our fallen bodies that want to go in the wrong direction.

Which do you think is more important: our physical self or our spiritual self?

The flesh has a shelf life of about a hundred years, but our spirit is eternal.

Our spirit is more important.  The body disintegrates into nothingness sooner or later while the spirit has the power to transcend both time and space.

We should understand this original purpose God has for us and fulfill this responsibility.

No matter how well you live in this physical reality, our bodies will perish in the final analysis.  This is how we are made.

Then which are more important: spiritual standards or physical standards?

We are not equipped to live based on physical standards.  We have become like this because after the Fall we have becomes self centered.




The flesh exists for the spirit and vice versa. 






Do not get stuck in the rut of a secular lifestyle.

We should become people who combine our spirit and flesh in a position to save the flesh from its low position of sinful activity.

The purpose of life on earth is mind-body perfection


Why does God have a Will?

It is so humanity can become perfected spiritually and physically.


Individually, our spirit represents the past and our body the present. 





Both of these worlds were invaded.

We are in the position to conquer the present satanic world and the past satanic world spiritually.  When you are able to uphold the standard of the mind subjugating the matter, your future will be blessed.

We should know that the physical world is the subject, not the spirit world.  This is the place where we achieve perfection.

Life on earth is very precious.

After humanity followed the wrong path, the spirit world has wrongly dominated this world.

When there is perfection in the physical world, this encompasses the perfection in both the spiritual and physical worlds.  This is what the Bible means when it states that whatever is bound on earth is bound in heaven.

Restoration from our fallen self is only through the physical body.

Why Do We Exist?

Have you ever wondered why the Almighty God would create humans?

The first reason is so God can stand in the position of a parent.  In order for God to be the parent of human beings that have form, He also must have a form.  Otherwise, He cannot be the center.

Secondly, reproduction cannot take place in the spirit world.

Thirdly, we were to be God’s partner in love for eternity.  Not only Adam and Eve were to be God’s partners, but their children were also to be perfect partners as their parents.

We were produced to be His partners in perfected love.

This is equality.

“I recapitulate, first, God needed a form or shape, namely that of a parent. He acquired that form in order to manifest Himself spiritually as Adam's father. Second, God needed a production center for the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven."

In this way, we can see that husbands and wives are factories.

Then which would be better: mass production or small-scale production?  Of course mass production.

In this way, the Kingdom of Heaven would be filled to capacity.

This is why women were created to be able to bear many children.

Human beings are the interface between the spiritual and physical worlds

Everything began its existence with God at the center.

Through His creation of human beings, He wanted to stand in oneness with humankind and all things in equilibrium.

This was God’s will.  The thought that God created us to stand in equality to Him is controversial compared to the thought God sitting on His throne enjoying being worshipped and feared.

If humanity is created in God’s image, this also assumes we were created to perfect the qualities of God within us.

Humankind stands between God and the created world.


Body and mind, and spirit self

Just like the give-and-take action between the mind and the body, objects revolve around a subject which itself rotates.  All beings exist according to this principle.

What is the center of a person's body? It is the mind.

The body is meant to revolve around the mind’s commands.  If the mind directs the body to go fast, it must do so and likewise the opposite.

The body is not suppose to move on its own fruition.




Above our mind is our spirit and above our spirit is God.



We perfect ourselves when we become completely one with God.

Despite that we are limited in our physical bodies, we represent all of history and all of the destinies of the future.  Therefore we posses cosmic value.

We must heed our mind in order to seek our destinies.  This is heavenly law.

God strikes those who do not obey what their good mind or conscience dictates.

After the Fall, throughout history God has guided humanity to conform to the conscience so we do not get ensnared by the evils of materialism that profess God does not exist.

Our conscience does not correspond to heavenly law one hundred percent because it has inmeasurable barriers that obstruct it from doing so.




The gateway to heaven has many entrances into a labyrinth of challenges..





These barriers are called judgment in Christian terms.

No matter how hard one may try, it is hard to hold onto the center.  We live where the current trend of thought is one of fear, insecurity and chaos.

We should not be subjected by material things.  God created us with a physical body and a spirit self intending that our spirit would be the center - not the physical body.


Complete motion and resonance

All of you possess a spirit that we in the Unification Church call the spirit self and a physical self. The spirit self, though invisible to our eyes, does exist.

Our spirit which lives in the spirit world, and our external self which lives on earth should resonate in oneness centering on love.

Resonance means vibrating at the same frequency.

Sound waves coincide and intertwine in resonance and they oscillate around the core.  The same is with our spirit self and our physical self.

Each harmonize with each other and center around God’s love.  Our spiritual cells and our physical cells engage in perfect motion together.

Therefore, when our spiritual eyes and our physical eyes are in perfect motion together, we will be able to see everything in heaven and on earth.

The microphone will resonate hundred percent when the capacity is good.

The spirit and physical body will become one through the force of love, heaven and earth.  God and everything else must resonate sympathetically.



The human mind-body dichotomy applies to men and women alike. 




When we think that both a man and woman have a spirit and physical self, then together they represent four entities.

When separated, they are four people.

How can these four entities become one? Why would God create people in this way?

God did not create people to be at war. Originally, human’s were to center on God’s love as their motive.  Therefore, men and women would have automatically achieve perfect union.

We does the spirit self and physical self become one?

This is the conflict we face today.

Even when you strike a prong, the prong next to it vibrates at the same frequency.

Likewise, when God’s love acts upon our mind, our body is supposed to automatically respond in like manner.  Instead, we realize that our body opposes our good mind.

Only God’s love can bring the mind and body into full perfect resonance.

We have five physical senses and five spiritual senses as well.  They long to reach a certain destination and it is not by God’s might or wisdom.

Each of our senses focus on His love as a benchmark for everything.

We Choose Heaven or Hell

Religious people who tell those who drink that they are going to hell have no peace of mind.

“I am weary of them. When I see them saying, ‘That goes against the Bible, Matthew chapter so-and-so. You're going to hell,’ really, those rascals. If killing someone could save a nation, then don't you think they would pass a law to free the person who had killed for the sake of saving the (whole) nation?”



You decide whether you go to heaven or hell.




“I do not decide. God does not decide. You are the one who decides. If you complain, it is hell. If you go with a grateful heart to places where you would have complained, it is heaven.”

God did not make hell out of jealousy or envy. Since false people appeared, God made hell as a warehouse in which to manage them.

For example, if you bought a cabbage to make coleslaw, but while making it you discovered the outer leaves had been eaten by worms, you would dump it into a rubbish bin.

This is the concept behind the creation of hell.

Since humanity committed the crime of the Fall, therefore, to remove sin from existence, someone who is qualified must emerge to reverse this problem.

Before the Second Coming, all people who were born on earth were destined to go to hell because there was no true condition for God to save them.

The highest level was paradise which was a waiting room for the creation of heaven.

Humanity has been born of a fallen lineage.  There has not been a moment when all of humankind has bowed down and attended God with all of its heart.

Adam and Eve grew according to the ideal of creation before they fell.

But they never attended God from a relationship of the heart.  How do we know this?  Because if Adam and

Eve truly could feel God’s heart and pain, they would have never crossed the boundaries of love which ultimately separated them from their Parent.

What is hell?





Hell is a place that has no relation to God or His love, life or lineage.




No matter how well you do while on the earth, the situation after the Fall is such that you cannot establish a relationship with Heaven or the realm of the Fall.

This is a bitter tragedy we find on earth.

It is a fact that human beings who were created by God fell from a good position where they can not relate to Him.

We were to lovingly attend Him, but He was left deserted by His children who followed His servant.  No one believed in Him or knew Him.




The bitter grief of heaven and earth is that no one attended and related with God in heart.






You have to hate your fallen, imperfect self.

You should hate your body.  Your enemy’s sinful blood pumps through your very veins.  You should understand that you cannot cut this line with a knife or burn it away.

You have become a waste factory that just consumes things of the creation and cannot receive God’s complete protection.

What determines the division between heaven and hell?

Just knowing or preaching the Bible is not enough.  It is decided through acting upon the original heart.

The boundary line between heaven and hell is determined by the heart.

When you cannot conform to the ideal of love, a reaction comes against you.

No one tells you to go to hell or sends you there.  This is why the Bible states “Love your enemy!” Genuine love gives its influence on the enemy.

If one sends love to his enemy once, twice, thrice and four times, the enemy disappears or is absorbed by this love for sure.  It is because love has such a great power that Jesus said to love the enemy.

How do you think God feels when He sees His children suffering in hell?  Would He sit joyfully on the throne happy with just a few praising His glorious name?

He is desperate trying to give them eternal life.

This is the only way that His responsibility as a parent will be fulfilled.

If after the Fall God eliminated every false thing then He could not stand in the position of a parent.

This is why God even has to eventually liberate hell no matter how hard the situation.

When a rebellious child sees his parents desperately trying to save him he will recognize how much they are doing for him and shout this out thousands of times for his sins.

A son will repent till his bones melt and his flesh falls away.  The parents’ heart is such as this.



Not even Satan can accuse God for His love in trying to save humanity.


No rule prevents forgiveness for a person who repents based on the love of his parents.

From this kind of heart, hell must also be liberated.  This is the way of a true devoted child.  Therefore, members believe that we must liberate even hell.

Why?

Because God has such a parental heart for His children, for us who have suffered from the Fall.

Once one is caught in hell, it is a place one can never escape.

Despite the fact that we feel that our mother, father and relatives are going to hell, you do not really feel the desperation to save them.  You think that it will somehow work out.

However, let’s think seriously about our beloved family members going to hell.

Human nature is such that if your parents were to go to prison, you would cry.  You would do all sorts of things to get them released.

Then, if you knew that your own sons and daughter, parents, and relatives, brothers and sisters were going to an eternal prison, would you just think casually about their fate?
