We Must Have the Mind to Feel Concern About Heaven’s Honor and Dignity

Choen Seong Gyeong 899

In the progress towards God’s orig-
inal world of ideals – an ideal realm
of goodness, where original human
beings can go – good spirits are fight-
ing their way towards it, and evil spir-
its are struggling to block the way. The
evil spirit world and evil world on earth
are constantly connected. They are in
constant communication. Good spir-
its are the ones who have been opposed
and persecuted in the evil world. These
spirits are the ones who were religious
believers. (134-9, 1985.1.1)

You are not to live according to your
own wishes but according to my words,
and follow the path that I am walking.
You are to inherit the tradition of the
Unification Church. You are supposed
to do as I do. I have abandoned my fam-
ily and parents to walk this path. This
is what you also must do. You must be
obedient as you walk this path.

Hebrews 11:1-32

The person for which God wished after establishing the ideology of creation has been hoped for throughout history. Yet he has not been able to appear as a substantial being. Because God wished for the day of hope and a person who had that hope, He has been able to fight with endurance for the six- thousand-year historical course. Because His mind is strong, because He knows that the day will come when He will meet that person, Heaven has endured until now.

Jesus equipped himself with the grace of resurrection, yet after passing beyond the cross, he left this world after establishing the day of hope with his promise, “I will come again.” He was not able to boast of the day of hope at his resurrection. Since that time, longing for the day he promised to come again, Jesus has fought for two thousand years. Since Heaven walks this path, we today who are on this earth also must walk such a path. Furthermore, we must know that there is a history of toil in which Heaven has labored to establish the beings of original character created on this earth, our original selves. We must have the mind to feel concern about Heaven’s honor and dignity. We must know how to march forward singing of the historical day of hope. “I” am going to meet the Lord of resurrection who comes in glory. I must have an unwavering standard for such a self, and we must make a determination and vow that we will keep to our journey no matter what, until the day we find the answer. Otherwise, we cannot deny that our life of faith has violated our true self, rather than otherwise. Continue reading “We Must Have the Mind to Feel Concern About Heaven’s Honor and Dignity”

Don’t Care at all About Situations Relating to Persons or the Church

Mark 12

10 You surely know that the Scriptures say,

‘The stone that the builders
    tossed aside
is now the most important
    stone of all.
11 This is something
the Lord has done,
    and it is amazing to us.’”

Richard:  That stone is Jesus, and that stone is the second coming of Jesus, Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

Pslam 110

1 The Lord said to my Lord,
    “Sit at my right side,[a]
    until I make your enemies
    into a footstool for you.”

2 The Lord will let your power
    reach out from Zion,
    and you will rule
    over your enemies.

Hebrews 11:1-32

To begin centered on himself, to bring settlement centered on himself, to pass judgment centered on himself is the most effective way for a person. Therefore, rather than pursuing the relative self, you should pursue the self who has a direct connection to Heaven, the one with the mind that pursues value. The stimulus to cry out for and to fight to seek such a self should begin with “me.” Thus, it should test my mettle. Only when that self is stimulated do I and the hoped-for “I” form mutual ties with which we surmount the difficult path of faith without problems. You must know this.

This teacher you follow has limitless feeling regarding humankind today. While I feel like cursing endlessly, at the same time, I feel like singing about that self which is hopeful.

You must know how to feel such a mind each hour throughout your lifetime. Since this is a path we take to seek such a self, without caring at all about the circumstances and situations relating to persons or the church, you must feel that you cannot abandon that path; nor can you loiter. You cannot hesitate and merely watch. Any person who retreats from such a course will not be able to own the hoped-for self. We will sigh for grief from that time on. You must realize that if you keep continuing life as it has been up to now, you will fall into a state of being lamentful, desperate and self-destructive. We cannot help lamenting about being incompetent and enervated.

Seeking and impatiently waiting for such a hoped-for self is the best standard for the ideal person of faith. You must be deeply imbued with the Shim Jung wishing to meet such a self someday. Only then can you know how to look at Heaven, and you will fight to find that self.

Heaven Longs for a Person Who Practices Truth in Life

Will there be struggles in heaven?
What would we do in that eternal world
without struggles? That world does not
end after a year but goes on for eternity.
Wouldn’t it be dull then? What would
you do there? Would you live alone, or
would you have relationships with all
existing beings in the spirit world? With
what will you establish those relation-
ships? With true love. In that case, what
is the essence of that world? When you
eat, you should do so feeling love; you
should wear clothes feeling love; you
should live feeling love; and you should
travel around embodying God’s love.
That love should be God’s essential love.
Without doing so there will be no har-
mony. A person with a character resem-
bling God’s essential love will occupy a
high place in the spirit world. All exist-
ing beings in that world will live in har-
mony based on such a character. It is a
world where such people can live in har-
mony. (201-97, 1990.3.11)

Even I, the teacher of the Unifica-
tion Church, will die, but against what
background will that come to pass? I
will embrace the people and country of
Korea, and die for the sake of this world.
If the Korean people unite and lay down
their lives for the sake of the world, that
will open the path of being able to live
together with this world. That is why I
seek that path. (34-192, 1970.9.6)

Hebrews 11:1-32

What should the attitude of a person of faith be? He must have a heart that feels impatient. Because you have the connection, you must know that you cannot help being impatient. What is Heaven waiting impatiently for? Heaven longs not for a person of faith but for a person who practices the truth in life. I long to be a person who practices the truth in life rather than a person of faith. Heaven longs not for the kingdom of hope but for individuals who can live in that kingdom.

Today, we hold up a word called faith and wait eagerly. However, we must lead a life of faith beyond that. In other words, we must become members who live with Heaven, people who live with Heaven, and the church that lives with Heaven. We must lead a life of faith in which we can enjoy ourselves and sing and be able to return the glory. Heaven waits eagerly for this.

What was it that God impatiently anticipated from our numerous ancestors in the course of history, after establishing a word called “faith” in front of them? You must know that He longed not for the individuals of faith themselves, who were fighting in their respective places, but for people who could live with Him, having remained until the last days. God waited impatiently for one who could fade away for the sake of faith, who could resurrect after dying for the sake of faith, and who could escape the realm of death and sing of the joy of resurrection in the realm of life, calling God “Father” in the everlasting world. God waits eagerly for such an individual. Thinking of this, you must become the people who know how to long for the self within you for whom He eagerly waits. You must strive to seek out such a self and meet him. Continue reading “Heaven Longs for a Person Who Practices Truth in Life”

Bow Yourself Before Your Mind that Wishes to Honor Heaven

Hebrews 11:1-32

If we wish to give our fealty to Heaven, we should, first of all, be able to bow our heads before the mind within us that wishes to do so. That mind did not originate with us. It did not come about of its own accord. It came about through some kind of truth, through some kind of reason, and through the relationships established in heaven and on earth. We must consider this valuable and precious, what we have decided in our minds, what we have pledged. We should not allow that determination, that pledge and shock of heart to end on the same day. We must bring them to a conclusion with history, and we must resolve them in concert with history. The grace of Heaven is present here. Because we have such relationships, the determination we made should not disappear along with history, nor should the pledge we made.

Only when a person emerges who feels responsible for a mission like this can Heaven be relieved and give commands. This is how I see it. We say that we are deeply imbued with sorrow, but how great would the sorrow of Heaven be, when relating with a wicked person, who has a mind that forsakes the heavenly relationship several times a day? You should realize that Heaven is weighing such a person, putting him on the scales. This is a relationship we cannot help having; this is a relationship from which we can never escape. It is a relationship we cannot free ourselves from, whether we go to the heavenly kingdom or to hell. That is why we feel pain when we go to hell.

If we analyze the essence of love,
there is no need to revolutionize love.
When parents love their children, this is
part of true love. This is why the heart
with which people loved their children
from the time of the first ancestors is
the same heart with which we descen-
dants several millennia later love our
own children. Moreover, the heart with
which our descendants several millen-
nia later will love their children will also
be the same. Love is eternal. True love is
something pure that does not need to be
revolutionized. Then, what kind of love
is God’s love? If God establishes cer-
tain beings in positions with an absolute
standard, acknowledges their existence,
and loves them, then that love needs no
further drastic change. (18-11, 1967.5.14)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 249

The entire Korean peninsula of
three thousand ri – every village, valley,
mountain and field – desires to attend
the coming True Parents. Serving True
Parents is the desire of all people in his-
tory. You, as children, should estab-
lish the individual and family standard
of indemnity and become substantial
representatives of True Parents. You
should be people whom those in the vil-
lage want to serve without any regret.
Of course, the True Parents are in the
center and make a spiritual relationship
with everyone. Since there is only one
set of True Parents, however, they can-
not relate with everyone personally. That
is why the Blessed Families are the rep-
resentatives of True Parents and stand
in the position to relate with all people.
True Parents have the responsibility to
go over this nation and bear the cross on
the worldwide level. Therefore, the cross
of the people should be carried by the
Blessed Families who live locally as true
children of True Parents. All Blessed
Families must serve as the foundation
of a tribe and of a people in order for the
works of Heaven to gain victory based
on such a people. (13-288, 1964.4.12)

Hebrews 11:1-32

You should know how to establish a national standard, go beyond “me,” rise above the family and the people, and indemnify the sorrow within the realm of that ideology. Only then can you become individuals with the qualifications to comfort the Father, who has labored for six thousand years to seek and establish His ideology in the form of a nation; who has hoped for a nation that went beyond the sorrowful relationship. In such a position, you will for the first time be affirmed as sons and daughters; in such a position the relationship with Heaven will be restored for the first time; in such a position the history of joy will begin.

No matter who they are, unless a people has a sovereignty, any passerby can cajole them and laugh at them. However, from the day sovereignty is established, no one can pass by freely or cajole them as he pleases.

The Christians scattered around the world today have not become the people of the Kingdom of God. They have not become the heavenly people with the heavenly sovereignty. Unless the heavenly people have the sovereignty to take care of them, that people can then be cajoled and abandoned. You should know this. Continue reading “The Eternal Father-Son Relationship”
