Accomplish Something in the Leisure Industry

When you pass the age of sixty, you should retire from public life, return to the farm village in your hometown, cultivate the earth and prepare to go to the spirit world.

    Until now, it has been hard for me to find a family and hard to find a church. It has been hard to set the direction for Christianity, hard to bring the free world and communist world back from their paths to ruin. Now, through me, the right of the eldest son has been restored. Again, the right of the eldest son has been restored. Had Adam not fallen at the outset, Adam himself would have possessed the right of the eldest son. Also, Adam would have become the authentic True Parent. Adam himself would have become the king among kings.
    What did human beings lose through the Fall? They lost the right of the eldest son. They lost the right of the eldest son to inherit the great foundation and assets of heaven and earth. They lost it because of the devil. We have been ignorant of this. Moreover, although we were to become eternal blood relatives who can attend the Parent, the Creator of heaven and earth, focusing on God’s love, life and lineage, Adam lost the right to become the True Parent. Also, had the Fall not occurred, there would be one culture, the culture of Adam and the tribe of Adam. This would have established one right of kingship.
    The democratic world is like a guiding staff. It is an ideology of brotherhood. Since there are many brothers, in order to appoint a representative to receive the inheritance, they must get together and choose the one who sacrifices more, serves more, and can better uphold the tradition. That is the democratic style. Democracy is a global ideology, but above it stands the ideology of parents. The age of the parent is coming in the future. Do you choose your parents through an election? Could you choose the returning Lord through an election? Could you choose God through an election? You could not. Democracy has the basis to create an atmosphere of distrust. Why? People do all kinds of things for their own personal gain. They do all sorts of things, such as using money and utilizing networks to slander others and plot against them. (211-343, 1991.1.1)

    On the way, your couple will face many difficulties and situations of extreme deprivation. Nevertheless, these are not matters for you to worry about; the greatest challenge for you will be how to become a husband and wife who can overcome all these hardships and march forward transcending the nation and on to the global level.

Heaven Is a Place of Gathering for Those Who Took God’s Will Seriously

If there were two paths, one that goes to heaven and another to hell, on which path would there be more people?

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1944

Judaism had a nation in the chosen people of Israel. Yet, only spiritual salvation was attained through the death of Jesus’ body. Christianity needs to understand why this is so. Jesus was killed because he did not have a nation. The Kingdom of Heaven should have been established in Asia, but instead Christianity was swayed towards humanism, the Hellenistic system of thought, to a sun god. It came back to Rome and then returned to the Pacific Ocean. Now, the age of the Pacific cultural sphere has come. History does not happen randomly. This must all be revealed. Only then can everyone who has ever lived, and all our ancestors in the spirit world, be liberated. True Parents have now appeared, teaching all these things in order to bring about liberation. (283-206, 1997.4.12)

There are no boundaries in the mind. When we think about God, even He does not have any boundaries in His mind. Consequently, God can go anywhere. If He wants to go to heaven, He can go there. If God wants to go to hell, He can go there. He can go anywhere. That means there are no borders in the mind of God. (124-184, 1983.2.15)

3.5. Sins committed in the flesh should be indemnified on earth

    If there were two paths, one that goes to heaven and another to hell, on which path would there be more people? There would be more people going to hell. What must God’s heart be like seeing this? How bitter He must feel! How appalled God is to see His sons and daughters, who were supposed to come to heaven, all going to hell. They were to have become the people of a vast nation living together with God in love and with no relation to hell. Think about how it would be if your children had to go to the place of death. All of you will ultimately come to know these things when you pass on to the spirit world.

Human Beings Should Know How Valuable Their Physical Lifetime Is

The conclusion is that the period of their life on earth is the only time when they can liberate God, revive this universe, and unite all heaven and earth.

I am shocked and sickened by the wanton murder of Charlie Kirk. I pray for Erika and the family. Hundreds, thousands, perhaps millions of good-hearted people who want to help youth and young adults will now rise up to help save this country, and they will remember the great work that Charlie has been doing.
We must not let the work to save America stop, but must take it to the next level of goodness and efficacy.

    Do you think Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden had friends? If Adam had a friend, it was only Eve. Next, there was just God. God did not want them to be friends with the archangel, who was a servant. Yet they were ruined because they befriended the wrong person. So parents should be the best of all teachers, the best of all friends, and manifest the best of all forms of love. Love begins from God. That being so, conjugal love ultimately stems from parents. So if parents say, “Hey, you like each other not because of yourselves but because of the virtues of your parents,” their children should reply, “It would have been disastrous had our parents not raised us this way and found such partners for us.”
    Hence, marriages based on personal choice fail to meet that standard. By whom should children be educated in love? By their parents. They should see their father and mother love each other with great fun cooing like pigeons and learn from it. They should say, “Wow, when I see my father and mother together like that, I feel lonely when I am alone. I also need a partner whom I can love cooing like my parents.” Their parents should also teach them to be like this. Then the children will come to repeat what their parents have been doing, the world will become a world of goodness and human history will become a history of goodness. The Unification Church seeks to accomplish this. (57-121, 1972.5.29)

How Important Is Life on this Earth?

What is important is that you use the short time you have in your physical life to prepare for the spirit world.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1218

You must stand in a position more earnest than life. That is why even when you are hungry, you should still pray. Even while fasting, you must invest yourself. You must invest God’s love and the power of your life into all the nations. As you do so, God will never answer your questions, and He will pretend that He does not see what you are doing. God cannot interfere. He will not interfere until your investment is complete. What is the human portion of responsibility? It means attaining completion on your own, doesn’t it? Similarly, when you go forward with prayer, God does not interfere. It is really strange, but God sometimes even opposes you. (180-195, 1988.8.22)

    If there were a place where we could go and call on God in times of desperation and have Him forget all that has happened during the past millennium and come forward so that we could form a relationship with Him, such a place would be so valuable to us that we would not exchange it for anything in the world.
    God sent the True Parents so that humankind, which is not qualified to be in His company or to form a bond with Him, can do so in relaxed surroundings. How then are we to give thanks for this grace by which the bond of the True Parents has been given to us unconditionally? How much did you thank God? In response to the grace by which you are now able to receive salvation, how much have you thought about how you have been given the opportunity to be jubilant and take a vow of victory? How much have you realized that you are making a new start with unlimited hope and eternal values? This is the question Continue reading “How Important Is Life on this Earth?”

There Is No Forgiveness In the Spirit World

When you come to know how life after death is closely related with the life in this world, you will be more careful about how you live.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1479

1 Corinthians 3:16 states, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” This means that we are His temple. When you have attained a mystical state, and offered Him a prayer, asking, “Heavenly Father, where are You?” you will be rewarded with a wonderful answer. He will say, “I am here! What is all the fuss about? Didn’t you get anything to eat for breakfast? Why are you making so much noise in the middle of the night?” When you ask, “Where are you?” He will answer, “Where else would I be? I am in the innermost depth of your heart! I am inside your heart!” Where is heaven said to be? It is in your heart. (224-214, 1991.11.24)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1500

Ideal love is realized in the family. However, God could not have true sons and daughters. As there were no true brothers and sisters or husband and wife, He could not become their Parent. Therefore, it is God’s will to fulfill all these things. Only at such a place would love dwell. People would abandon everything they have in the world to find their way to the place where such a love could be found. (19-314, 1968.3.17)

    There is no forgiveness in the spirit world. Lies will not work. You have all seen videotapes. If you laughed, that laughter appears just as it was. An ordinary video cannot go beyond the limitations of time and space, but the spiritual video transcends time and space. Continue reading “There Is No Forgiveness In the Spirit World”
