1 Samuel 7
15 Samuel was a leaderd] in Israel all his life. 16 Every year he would go around to the towns of Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah where he served as judge for the people. 17 Then he would go back to his home in Ramah and do the same thing there. He also had an altar built for the Lord at Ramah.
Psalm 119
81 I long for you to rescue me!
Your word is my only hope.
82 I am worn out from waiting
for you to keep your word.
When will you have mercy?
83 My life is wasting away
like a dried-up wineskin,a]
but I have not forgotten
your teachings.
84 I am your servant!
How long must I suffer?
When will you punish
those troublemakers?
85 Those proud people reject
your teachings,
and they dig pits
for me to fall in.
86 Your laws can be trusted!
Protect me from cruel liars.
87 They have almost killed me,
but I have been faithful
to your teachings.
88 Show that you love me
and let me live,
so that I may obey all
of your commands.
The Path In Search of the Original Homeland Rev. Sun Myung Moon July 5, 1959
Since we call Jesus the Savior, what kind of a central figure was he? He was not intoxicated by human circumstances. He was a man who was intoxicated with God’s Shim Jung of love, with the historical Shim Jung, the Shim Jung of the period and the Shim Jung of the future. He was totally engrossed in it. He was completely taken up with it. Heedless of whether he was chased or cornered or killed, he said, “Father, please do according to Your will.” There should be men like this. Yet looked at in the usual way or from a rational point of view, Jesus was a crazy man, a lunatic.
Whom is man seeking, longing for and wishing to meet? It is a leader who introduces to him the world of the heart, the world of happiness, peace and freedom. Such things are necessary. If there is a leader who can show the direction to those of us who are going the path of life with Shim Jung today, he will be a true leader. The person who goes the path of life with such a Shim Jung should exist on the earth.
Earth and Heaven, our ideology and reality, are in opposition. The mind and body are always fighting, having become each other’s object of struggle. That is because of the Fall. We cannot deny this.
Because of that, if a man has sought the worldwide ideal world, he will not be able to settle down in the world that has been formed on the earth. He cannot experience a comfortable life while coming through the course of history. Look at any of the great names; they all are in the same boat.
Seen in this light, Jesus, who is in spirit world, is also a pitiful man who clings to the earth and prays, “Father, please forgive humankind.” Why is Jesus a supplicating figure, not a figure of sheer glory? Because of his untimely death, he could not complete the path of life he had to go through on the earth. Thus, he is destined to come back again. That is why he is in paradise.
Although Jesus was intoxicated with God’s will, he could not experience that intoxication with humanity. That is his lamentation.
What is different about the day of his return? The difference lies in the fact that humanity, centered on the will, can be intoxicated in their hearts while relating to Heaven. Jesus is seeking this. This is the situation Jesus is in, and you should know that.
One may praise oneself: “I have studied a lot and I know a lot! This is enough for me to get by anywhere I go. I can be called a teacher and establish the authority of an instructor.” But such a one should not brag. By contrast, there may be people among you who concede, “I haven’t learned much, and I am ignorant and awful.” But all of us are the same in the course of life. There is no such a thing as one being great while the other is foolish.
Why is that? All men are the same in that they move based on Shim Jung. The mind of a president who loves his or her child is the same as the mind of a mere laborer who loves his or her child. You must know that the more humble a man is, the stronger his loving mind toward his wife and children. He feels strongly in his mind that he himself is insufficient. He feels sorry in his mind for not being able to fulfill the duty of a parent and a husband toward his children and wife. But the man who thinks he is great would say, “I do all I can…”
Which is more lofty in heart? Men on the lower end are more lofty. So don’t brag about yourselves.
You should be intoxicated by such connections and by the Shim Jung of the original nature, saying, “Thank you.” Jesus told us to go that way. He also told us to pray ceaselessly. Why did he tell us to pray ceaselessly? He said so in fear of our diverging from the right way. For the one who can go the path of the will with confidence, heedless of day and night, prayer is not necessary.
Why did Jesus go up to the Garden of Gethsemane and pray? Why did he go to the Mount of Olives and appeal to Heaven with his lonely Shim Jung? If he had been able to share joy with humanity, moving together with them centered on Shim Jung, would he have had to go to the Garden of Gethsemane and appeal to Heaven? He did so, didn’t he?
The true leader should be able to digest all difficulties and still give love, joy, and hope to others. He must be able to transcend all the difficulties he is facing and still give life to others.
That is what our True Father did. He embodied the ‘new ideology’, becoming the Substantial Self of God, having transcended this fallen world, and lead humanity into God’s Kingdom.
That was Foundation Day, which Father referred to as D-Day, where we crossed the top of the Completion Stage, and entered God’s Direct Dominion through the perfection level Wedding Ceremony, the perfection level Blessing.
We need to let that settle in and realise what we have accomplished, what God and True Father have accomplished, and what humanity can now accomplish.
This is what we should be guiding people to understand and to do that we need to teach the Principle, explain who Father is, leading up to and culminating in Foundation Day.
Father gave us his teachings, the ‘Eight Great Sacred Texts’ and his autobiography. All we have to do is testify, and the absolute good spirit world will be with us.
There is no critique of Father’s words, no alternative, including the bible, because the bible can never make complete sense without the Principle.
The Principle is in the ‘internal masculine subject position’ to all other truths in the ‘external feminine object position’. They must all unite with their ‘Bridegroom’.
All other faiths must unite with the Lord of the Second Advent. However for that to happen, we must practise ‘Shim Jung’.
Father went through his ‘Eight Step’ course based on Shim Jung, there was no other way he could have done it. We must to.
The truth can give us confidence, but by knowing God’s Heart, we can demonstrate Shim Jung like our True Father.
Then we can liberate humanity from the fallen world, the fallen culture Satan devised.
