4.3. The original mind is the teacher
and closest to God
What is the mind? It is your master
and teacher. Since your body resembles
your mind, it is the origin of your body.
Thus, on the horizontal level, the mind
stands in the place of your mother and
father, teachers, and masters. (222-157,
1991.11.3)
Your original mind does not need a
teacher. It is your second god. Do not try
to follow a teacher or me; instead, try to
serve your mind. What about the mind?
You wake up at daybreak, all alone, and
it is so quiet that you can hear even the
squeak of a mouse or the buzz of a fly,
and you think to yourself, “Well, I should
like such and such a thing. I should try
to do a good deed.” Your original mind
will then tell you, “Good! Good! Do it
now!” On the other hand, if you harbor
only evil thoughts in your mind, it will
chide you with words like “No! No! You
fool!” Would it not know what you are
thinking? Of course it knows. That is the
way it is. It knows only too well. (138-124,
1986.1.19)

When the original True Parent
comes, God as the vertical and human
beings as the horizontal can create a
90-degree angle for the first time. The
True Parent comes to educate us so that
we can create that 90-degree angle. If
you go to the spirit world and see that
my words are wrong, you can come to
me and cut off my head.

Let Us Become Survivors

Rev. Sun Myung Moon
June 29, 1958

What kind of grief is that lamentation? In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were supposed to connect with God’s love and His ideology. Yet through the fall, they failed to make that proper relationship with Him. The lamentation of all things is the lamentation that longs for humans to recover this situation and connect with God’s ideology and love. Consequently, a person who cannot liberate this lamentation of all things will be judged in the last days.

What kind of person will survive this judgment? The person has to know God’s and Jesus’ heart more than any other, and love them that much.

By knowing this heart of God, a person can connect with God’s ideology through that Shim Jung and thus possess the power to drive the enemy out of this universe. The reason Jesus could bless his enemies, even when he was on the cross, is that God’s heart constantly and powerfully boiled within him. This is how Jesus could stand firm even in the face of death.

Jesus referred to a bride and a bridegroom. What are the bride and bridegroom? In the 2,000 years from Jesus’ death until today, there was no bride who loved God and Jesus more than they loved any other. Many people talked about Jesus and about history arising from Jesus, but there was no one who knew Jesus’ grief at not being able to show God’s ideology of creation to humankind. It is important to talk about Jesus and the history arising from him, but it is more important to deeply experience his heart. Accordingly, in order for us to be able to represent God’s ideology and survive in the last days, we must unite our Shim Jung with Jesus’.

Jesus loved his disciples more than he loved himself. If there is a grief of Heaven, what could that be? To leave behind God’s ideology of creation in the physical world, Jesus loved his disciples more than his own body. Yet the disciples ignored the heart and circumstances of Jesus who was loving them. They thought of other things when following Jesus. They failed to receive and cope with Jesus’ love while he was alive. Thus, the fruit of his love was not produced. This is Heaven’s grief. The disciples felt Jesus’ love for the first time only after he passed away, only then did they understand the intent of Jesus’ words.

What kind of people was Jesus hoping to find? He hoped to find people who despised and abandoned themselves. Jesus was looking for those people so he could love them more than any other. Therefore, the person who can meet Jesus in the last days is a person who gropes for Heaven with a heart of love, even at the cost of despising and abandoning himself more than anyone else. The people of the world long for Jesus to come back. Yet we must not just hope for Jesus to come back but must seek him. To do this, we ourselves have to go over the hill of sadness that God experienced within human history. We must go over the hill of hardships that Jesus went over, carrying the cross. In this way, we must shorten the period of providential history and transcend time and space to deeply experience the painful heart Jesus experienced 2,000 years ago.

Who went to Jesus’ grave? It was Mary Magdalene, a person considered insignificant. It was Mary who loved Jesus most: Jesus, who was chased away from one town, cursed at in another, and ridiculed wherever he went. Jesus appeared in his resurrected body to Mary, who was so sincere. This is a symbol that shows the course that Christians of the world in the last days must follow.

What kind of life did Mary Magdalene lead? Because she loved Jesus, she forgot clothes and food, and lived only for Jesus. Her path of life transcended life and death and forgot any reputation. This is the course that the saints in the last days have to go. If there is a person on this earth today who has the same heart as Mary Magdalene, his eyes will be filled with tears, moved by the 6,000 years of God’s dispensational history. He will realize that he is infinitely indebted to God.

Moreover, he will know he cannot pay back the love he has received, even if he commits his body to the flames. He will know he has to walk the road of death. Have you ever had this kind of heart at any moment? That kind of person will know the heart of God, who has sought us from the time of the creation, throughout the past, the present and the future, abandoning everything. That person will not be able to raise his head in front of God because he knows that he is infinitely indebted to Him. The kind of person who feels this Shim Jung and gives up everything he has to follow God can survive the last days.

Therefore, a person who wants to believe in Jesus but be comfortable at the same time can be a messenger for Jesus, but can never be his friend. Moreover, even if a person believes in Jesus, if he does not know his Shim Jung, he can be Jesus’ friend but never his bride. Both God and Jesus want a bride, not a messenger or friend.
