You Have to Be More Altruistic

What does that mean? The one who is most altruistic will become the leader.

    Beloved Heavenly Father! Today is July 1, 1991. We understand that the year 1991 is the very last crucial moment in the dispensational transition period. From the very first day of this year until the end of June, we have persevered through many complications and difficulties, and are now finally entering the month of July. Now that the first half of 1991 has passed, we understand that the second half of this year is the time in your providential history when we can reach the summit of new hope to enter the world of freedom and peace in Your kingdom.

    I was planning to have the 30,000 Couples visit the Songdo Beach Resort in North Korea, taking with them tents, each for ten people. It was a time when everything could be out in the open. The North Korean government even said, “We will do whatever you want.” I also notified the present South Korean government of this plan. Who prevented me from carrying it out? It was our government in the South. Still I did not perish. The bright morning sun dawns on the path that follows the heavenly way, but once you leave that path, you will be enveloped in total darkness. You will be plunged into complete and eternal darkness.

Summary:

Unificationists choose to live through spiritual hardship rather than material comfort because selfless sacrifice is the only way to melt God’s heart. To truly win people over and move their hearts, you must care for them like a loving parent, always putting their needs before your own; over time, this genuine care will make them completely open their doors and lives to you. True leaders, like God and parents, earn their central position by thinking of others first and stepping in to do what their partners need. When you constantly care for someone in this way, love naturally expands from individuals to the entire universe and spirit world. While people often think that being altruistic means losing out, living for others is actually a powerful universal principle that naturally draws people to you and makes you a central, precious person connected to the highest ideals.

Those who have completed restoration through indemnity, raise your hands. You no-goods! You fickle scoundrels! You ought to be beaten with a club; you have to be cursed! You should by struck by lightning! If you haven’t done it, even I cannot help you. I taught you everything clearly. The spirit world is transformed according to what I say. If you go there without doing that, you’ll be trapped. No matter how much husband and wife say they have loved their children, when they go to the spirit world that will all stop.
    Just as paradise has emerged in the spirit world, for the families in the Unification Church there will be a paradise where they stay before entering the Kingdom of Heaven. You won’t even be able to love there. How can you love each other? You won’t be able to love your own child, no matter how much you may want to. What will you do? Even though wives may tell their husbands, “You used to love me, so why do you act differently after coming here?” husbands won’t be able to love them. You won’t be able to love. In the position you are in, you are not supposed to love. (148-168, 1986.10.8)

    Today is November 5 in the second year of Cheon Il Guk, the forty-third True Children’s Day. We have brought together God’s Day, Children’s Day and the Day of All Things to announce the era of equalization for peace and unity centered on Cheon Il Guk which was not achieved in the family in the Garden of Eden. This era can bring to a conclusion the perfection of the family of Eden centered on humanity that expands to the heavenly world.
    After the completion of the Holy Burning Ceremony for the Peace, Unity and Liberation of Heaven and Earth, we are now in an age when God can freely and easily visit each family and live together with them in joy. I fervently pray that You bless us so that we can be in the same sphere of life. The hopes of the heavenly world can be found on earth and the hopes of the earthly world can be found in heaven. May the hopes of heaven and earth become one, forming a standard where the two are in balance. May the liberated path of loyalty and filial piety remain, and may the ancestors centered on heaven remain on earth.
    Today I have announced the arrival of Era of Equalization for Peace and Unity in Cheon Il Guk. We have now entered an age when we can build and officially create the initial stage of the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, let the anguish of the spirit world be dissolved and let the ancestors come down to earth to assist their descendants. Let the heads of denominations cooperate within this world through their followers. May they be free to take action in completely resolving and fully unblocking any unrighteous thing that had given concern to Heaven.

Re-Creation Can Only Come About When You Invest Yourself

For this reason, it is a reasonable conclusion to say that sacrifice is inevitable.

    Would you skip breakfast tomorrow morning because you had breakfast this morning? You will keep crying out, “Oh, food!” until your life ends. Likewise, you have to eat God’s words every day in the spirit world. That is why you have to train yourself on earth. Your hunger for knowledge, even after going to the spirit world, will push you to ask, “What words will God speak to us? What do they mean?”

    Why are you unable to be loyal to the point of getting gnarled hands in carrying out my orders? Why are you not able to make such a historical condition that will cause those who see you and hear your testimony to get all choked up, and burst into tears, even though what I am asking you to do is quite simple and easy?
    I am asking you why you have not practiced filial piety before your parents on behalf of your family, and not practiced loyalty to your nation, and why you have not fulfilled all your responsibilities to Heaven, in spite of having been given the absolute chance to go forth with the authority of historical victory, and unconditionally inherit all the great accomplishments of Heaven. Only when you have accomplished that, will there be no one to block you when you go from the earth through your nation to Heaven.
    Satan has blocked the level of the family. However perfect a person may have become on the individual level, it is of no use if he is unfilial to his parents. This is how it is: no matter how filial a person may have been in his family, his piety is of no use if he is disloyal to his country; and no matter how loyal a person is to his country, if he is disloyal to humankind, then he will be unable to go to Heaven.

You have to understand that the tribal messiah is in the vanguard and guides his tribe to their historical hometown within his lifetime.

    From now, you must show love through your family and attack the satanic world. You must bring your family together and attack this rotten satanic world. You must kick out the animalistic rotten families of the free world. You must crush them all. If you do that, they will not cry out as they are perishing, “Oh no, I’m perishing.” Instead, they will be happy even while they perish. They will say, “Oh, how nice, how wonderful!” That kind of time has come. That is why I told you to create a Home Church movement that can move the family, the tribe, and the people all at once. If we can finish this, if we can clean this up, we can influence the world. If we can fulfill this, then the time will come when I am able to establish heaven. (99-187, 1978.9.1

    People in the world who were born before the True Mother came into existence were born in vain. That is why they needed to be engrafted to Jesus, pass through the body of Jesus, and be reborn through the Holy Spirit. This is possible because Jesus formed a spousal relationship of true love. Since they were born as the fruit of false love, they must be reborn through true love. This is one reason why a lot of emphasis is put on love in Christianity. (17-192, 1966.12.18)

Summary:

In Blessed Families, the husband and wife act as the physical representatives of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, which gives them the collective responsibility to march forward and urgently save their people. True Father sends these thousands of families out as “tribal messiahs” to serve as leaders—much like Moses during the Exodus—who can guide their extended families and clans.  In this way tribal messiahs can have a hometown. Fulfilling this mission is necessary because it allows you to spiritually save and restore your parents, perfect your own family, and create a strong tribal network that acts as a protective shield against worldly hardships. By taking ownership as a savior and spiritual leader for your specific family clan, you help break down global barriers and accomplish the ultimate goal of building a heavenly nation free from suffering and judgment.

    God created humankind for the sake of love. Why were human beings created? They were created because of love. The reason human beings are different from other forms of creation is that they were created as God’s sons and daughters. They were created as object partners who can receive love directly from Him. Such is the privilege of humankind. (132-245, 1984.6.20)

    Thus, a spirit self that has experienced love here on earth would surely go to just that kind of world automatically, as if pulled by a magnet. The level of the spirit world you go to depends on how much you have experienced and felt those things. (112-17, 1981.3.15)

Tradition and Daily Etiquette of Blessed Families

Summary:
Blessed families have been given the historically wonderful mission to act as “tribal messiahs” by building a strong spiritual foundation for their own relatives and families. You are called to organize and guide at least twelve, or ideally thirty-six, couples within your own family line, serving as the elders and ancestors who establish holy traditions for your entire tribe. It is much faster and more effective to teach and share your faith with your own parents, brothers, and sisters than with strangers, and this is a glorious responsibility you must fulfill in your lifetime. If you love your family, you cannot idly watch them go to an eternal spiritual jail; instead, you must work with a sense of urgency to save your relatives and relatives’ families, knowing that failing this responsibility will bring spiritual accountability to your home.

Section 2. The Exemplary Family Life of Faith

2.3. Blessed families are the elders of the tribe

    Just as I instructed at the time of the 1968 Blessing of 430 couples, you also should become tribal messiahs. You must fulfill this mission. For instance, the 36 couples from the Kim tribe should be organized centered on members of the Kim family who have already received the Blessing, just as the 36 Couples are organized in the church around me. If it is too difficult to establish 36 couples, you should at least become the ancestors of 12 couples. Then you should become the ancestors of your tribe and organize your tribe into twelve branch tribes. When you accomplish this, your entire tribe will be included in those twelve branch tribes, thus becoming a tribe of your direct lineage.
