Easter Sunday

## Translation by Rev. John Hong; Unofficial Notes by Tyler Hendricks

[Father began by explaining Cheon Il Guk in English, which was difficult to hear.] Cheon Il Guk means absolute forever. One creation of humankind. God’s providential viewpoint. Taking rest time, united—that time is the new era. We have to have new truth. Completion of restoration. Cheon Il Guk is that time.

Therefore, from now forget your past and prepare to welcome the new Cheon Il Guk. The spring of Cheon Il Guk. Perfection age will come with the spring on the earth, and that age is here. After that, harvest God’s kingdom. That is the so-called Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and spirit world. That’s how you know this is a special report from Heung Jin Nim. That’s why this year is very present.

Heung Jin Nim is the fourth child I sent to the spirit world. Centered on him and spirit world, the spirit world and physical world is reorganized and the mainstream is set up. Therefore we can cleanse any satanic environment and we can unite all races, nations and religions centered on God. On that concept we should unify the world; this is WANGO, the non-governmental organizations.

[Rev. Dong Woo Kim reads Heung Jin Nim’s report to Hoon Mo Nim, given at True God’s Day January 1, 2002 at Cheong Pyeong Lake. Father said that this should be published as a booklet for the young people throughout the world.]

Thank you for opening the Cheon Il Guk and providing it to the world. We will live in true love and heavenly fortune. We will march forward to spread your word in the physical world and spirit world. True Parents gave the speaking tour in America and made a strong foundation for the Cheon Il Guk. All the spirits separated from the Unification Church members at the Chung Pyung Lake training center are being educated, receiving the blessing and attending another 40-day workshop as blessed couples.

The Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship is your victory on behalf of God over 80 years of dedication. True Parents tore down all the walls. It relieved the han of God; His lamentation and agony since the fall. Because of your exemplary life, the entire spirit world is deeply moved and totally changed. Now humanity is also changed. Dear True Father and True Mother, we have done a lot in spirit world. We have a training center just like the one at Cheong Pyeong Lake. The liberation ceremony for ancestors and the blessing ceremony, which are going on at the Cheong Pyeong Lake training center, provide a great benefit to the ancestors. I hope that our work in the spirit world strengthens your foundation for the Cheon Il Guk on earth.

True Parents, you spent over 80 years to create the coronation ceremony for God’s kingship. In order to open the spirit world, you have gone through so much difficulty that no one in the physical world knows about. Because of that, you have won victory and that is why you could offer the Coronation Ceremony. So we want to be reminded about its significance and meaning.

When I joined the spirit world, I had much difficulty. I was still young, but True Father appointed me as the general in the spirit world. Originally, centering on True Parents alone, religious leaders in the spirit world were supposed to descend to the physical world and through their descendents testify to True Parents. But that atmosphere was not here when I arrived. They tried to understand everything based upon their own background, and did not want to understand from a new point of view. Evil spirits were dominating when I arrived. They were stuck with pain and resentment that they brought from the physical world and they lived confined by that. They have no deep heartistic connection.

True Parents, you came as the Lord of the Second Advent on the Christian foundation. Therefore you wanted to embrace and lead the Christians with Jesus into the Kingdom of God. Each religion has its own tradition and rituals and different ways, so it wasn’t easy to unite them beyond their own religious territory. In order to establish the realm of unification among the religions, in 1999.12.4 True Father called the 4 major saints and key religious leaders to Cheong Pyeong Lake with Korean and Japanese church leaders and put them through a 40-day workshop. They understood who True Parents are and what they did. After that, they went through 100 day training in spirit world and received the Blessing. Through that, the 4 saints came to understand True Parents. True Parents educated and blessed the 4 saints and their disciples. True Parents opened the door to unite the religions.

Because of that grace, the door started opening and the difficulties I faced in the beginning were resolved. I could work as general, because of True Parents. In 1995, True Parents blessed Daemo Nim, Hoongmo Nim, and others and thereby opened the door of blessing in the spirit world, and allowed us to give the blessing on that foundation I could have absolute power in the spirit world and start giving the blessing. It was possible because I could connect with the blood lineage of God and disconnect from Satan’s, and connect True Parents’ victories in the physical world to the spirit world. So I am grateful that True Parents opened the door of blessing and restoration in the spirit world.

Jesus and I gave blessings to billions of people in the spirit world. A united foundation was established, centering on True Parents. In the physical world and spirit world we have united foundations now. 1998 we could move forward. Then because of the blessing of 3.6 million, 40 million and 360 million couples, the spirit world is rapidly changing. We can liberate the spirit world. True Parents made declarations in the Pantanal and Belvedere about governing both worlds on the foundation of their victory. This disconnects from satanic blood lineage and allows us to liberate the physical world and spirit world. Blessed couples in the physical world represent perfected Adam and Eve, standing in the younger siblings position establishing the realm of liberation. On this foundation Father declared the victory of the Parents of heaven and earth. Contrary to the time that Satan forcefully dragged people into hell, blessed couples now have the right to liberate people out of hell and give education and the blessing. Blessed couples from the spirit world could attend many ceremonies given by True Parents on earth. Until now, Satan manipulated both the spirit world and physical world, but now both worlds are supposed to receive directions from True Parents. The time has changed that much.

Upon this day, you gave me such a blessing to be called the Divine Son. So I will become the frontrunner to unite the blessed couples in both worlds. The remaining mission of Jesus to create God’s kingdom on earth as in heaven will be completed now, expanding the family level blessing. Whatever I do is based on the directions and guidance of True Parents, that’s all, so all grace should go to True Parents. From the year 2000, a big change took place in the spirit world, the creation of a new nation from last August, to tear down the walls. True Parents eliminated national boundaries and implemented the practice of true love life. The chusok and earthly festivals and celebrations took place on earth, establishing many different conditions so that the new world, Cain and Abel sides from east and west, north and south, physical world and spirit world became free and autonomous. These ideas can have dominion. We can set up one direction centered on God, the way of filial piety and loyalty. I thank you for all these blessings.

True Father, you visited Chung Pyung Lake again in 2000, and at a special workshop gave me a ceremony by which I could inherit the right of giving the blessing and connecting heaven and earth, giving me that authority. Also, in the year 2000, the registration blessing was given to the blessed couples. Representatives beginning with Heung Jin Nim , Hee Jin Nim and major leaders attended the ceremony. Through True Parents, centering on God, both spirit world and physical world united and started creating the world of heavenly culture. It was the anniversary of the liberation from Hungnam Prison. Starting from me, all the leaders of the religions started working together as one family. You elected me to do this.

You are trying to save humankind and liberate Heavenly Father. The day of total liberation was declared by True Parents on the chusok, 2000. It was a big day in the spirit world, because of the grace of True Parents, by declaring this on the chusok, I can move around freely in spirit world without any restrictions. Even in spirit world, it wasn’t easy for anyone to visit other religious communities. In some cases there were big walls and obstacles, so we could not visit each other. But because of that ceremony that True Parents gave, I can freely move beyond religion and nationality and so forth. The ceremony of the total liberation was very important for us because without it we could not move around. People are stuck in their own religion and cannot easily unite with each other or visit other places. There are high walls and deep valleys, and they cannot meet. Now they can freely visit here and there. True Father knew this and paid all the indemnity conditions to tear down the walls.

In some cases, it is not really free; people cannot be totally free in moving, but at least they have a way to communicate and come and go. Also the declaration of the registration in the heavenly world and the elimination of hell and paradise were very important. Although we are not perfectly free, truly the realm of liberation came to us, transcending national boundaries and religious walls. The coronation ceremony for God’s kingship was the greatest day, the most joyful day, in human history. 12,000 people from all over the world participated in that ceremony. God and spirit world were so happy; they rejoiced. The presence of those 12,000 people means that True Parents paid all the necessary indemnity, and on that foundation, True Parents gave the right of being crowned to God. That is what it means.

I congratulate you, True Parents. You have been working all these years to help God claim his kingship of the cosmos. We cannot describe how big and great True Parents’ effort and love to God have been. I will do my best to serve and attend True Parents as much as I can. There were divisions between the mid-level spirit world and paradise. As we go down lower, the environment is covered by clouds or fog, so the light is dimmer and dimmer. As you ascend, you feel joy and deep inspiration naturally. No anxiety, pain or tears are found in the Kingdom of God. People live for the sake of others with no fighting or jealousy. It is the world of true love. No matter how well you lived on earth, if you did not receive the blessing, you cannot come here. Your life on earth has to be crystal clear. So we have to live centered on the teaching of God every moment. There are many levels in spirit world. Some people on earth think that there are only 2 parts of spirit world: the Kingdom of God and Hell. But no, there are many levels, more in the lower part than in the upper part.

On each level there are approximately the same type of people with same character, so there is no fun. In the lower world, everyone is suspicious of everyone else. Most people are in the mid level spirit world or lower. It depends on the level of life you had in the physical world. God is good and loving, and as you go down lower and lower, you will see less and less and will feel chilly and colder and colder. You encounter a lot of fighting. You can smell terrible things. A lot of people who committed suicide are there in the midst of snakes. People on earth do not understand how terrible is life in hell. If they had a chance to see it, they would never, never commit sin. We have to stay away from all the sins, from the original sin, collective sin, inherited sin and personal sin.

No one decides where they will go; one’s life quality sends you to a place in which you fit. We can color different levels of spirit world. The Kingdom of God is white, like a white clouds, no stain, bright fields. Lilacs and animals playing, brighter than crystal. It is fresh, cool and comfortable. You can feel deep emotion, freedom and happiness. You don’t need to talk to each other, but can communicate by just looking. Only harmony. Only those who have received the blessing can live there. So you should like a pure, crystal clear life, smiling with bright faces. So, blessed couples, check yourselves and see if you qualify to be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. As we go down, the color becomes darker and dimmer—like gray and brown, dark gray, to pitch black. The Kingdom of God is bright, as you go down closer to hell, it is darker and darker. The people on the different levels have different brightness, depending on your situation. As you go down, it is more uncomfortable and more homogeneous type people. They doubt each other, fight each other, make factions. Once you get rid of … you will go up to the Kingdom of God; if you don’t, then you remain closer to hell. On earth you have to separate evil spirits and develop your original nature. If you have money on earth, you think you are free, but in spirit world, no matter how much money you had, it has no meaning.

To get to heaven, you need to practice absolute faith, love and obedience.

True Father: All things come from God’s love, it all belongs to God. By absolute faith, love and obedience we can dominate it. God created you, and all things for your sake. So you have absolute faith, love and obedience to deal with a guide all things. That way you can be in the position of absolute faith, love and obedience. [Father has everyone repeat absolute faith, love and obedience in Korean and English.] Western people you know how to follow but not how to be obedient. Before creation, God used these three ideas, because everything is born of God’s love, therefore we need absolute love. God invested His love and life, with no concept, and we are objects of God. Usually, subjects want their object to be better than them. So God had that desire for us before we were created. That means, we should follow absolute faith.

Love exists on different levels, birds, insects. Love is totally to obey. Highest spirit world connects on with absolute faith, love and obedience. Only for the sake of others can live there. Why? Because God is that way; He inputs and forgets. Touch it, and you are His true object and this sets up the parents and children relationships. Okay? [Okay.] Okay means “open gate.” Absolute faith, love and obedience is very important to consider this morning. All things follow absolute faith. Without it, you cannot be in the position of ownership. That’s why couples need absolute faith, love and obedience, absolutely believe each other and love each other. Also, brothers and sisters. Elder brother is in the position of God and parents; so what is the problem? The younger should follow the way the elder brother says.

Absolute faith applies not to just a church, but to the whole universe. The universe was created by absolute love, too. Look at your two eyes; a pair. Man and woman are the pair system, each with their own sexual organ, so you cannot succeed on your own; you need to meet each other, as a pair system. Cheon Il Guk means two people totally unite, then that kind of individual, family, nation, we call Cheon Il Guk. Among nations, there are elders and youngers; they are all connected and the younger should follow the orders of the older ones. This is not just the Unification Church, but the Principle of Creation. Even the small, simple blade of grass needs to connect with this.

If you do not trust your doctor, you cannot be healed. So you need absolute faith. God forgets Himself in His investing, and so do true Adam and Eve. Then there is only peace, no disagreements, and God is one who forgets everything. God is the parent who sacrificed to give and serve for tens of millions of years. So He is the great king of kings, our Heavenly Father. If you go somewhere and proclaim yourself—God cannot even like that person’s shadow.

So I become that kind of person and have a spouse and children, and my children grow up from children to adulthood, to marriage and silver age and go to the Kingdom. God prepared the whole earth to house this lifestyle. So, absolute faith is acclaimed by Buddhism and Christianity. Then all children and grandchildren come out to welcome the father.

[Speaks on the natural world, the lower eating and cleaning up the waste or loss of the higher level creatures. This is not dominating; it is just practicing absolute faith, love and obedience. Ownership is decided by love. Whoever the love a cat most, owns the cat and is willing to put up with the necessary cleaning. To be king of cats, means that you love cats more than anyone. Even skunks come and hang around.] You don’t need to use the Bible; just Divine Principle. Only I can interpret the Bible correctly. There are a couple of hundred denominations in America.

If you graduate UTS, leaders should take out the church symbols and put in the family system. If you graduate UTS, you become a leader and to be a leader you have to go to UTS. You need education to be leaders.

God was like a prisoner in handcuffs, and I have released Him.

[Weather, climate, is the cause of the different skin colors.] Whites search for good grazing land. Orientals sit and prayer for good weather. So, whites have long legs and Orientals have short legs and large hips. They look at the wall, so their face become flat. The Unification Church is the medium to harmonize the various parts of the world. How many of you have visited at least 3 countries? 12 counties? This is the characteristic of the Unification Church. You can make friends in many countries. We are friends with Buddhists, Muslims. We can be friends with everyone, and we can even marry Muslim people. Because of the fall, divisions came about and everything is stuck. You cannot move forward. This is no longer just a white people’s world. They have already failed, also Spanish, Catholics and Protestants have failed. The purpose of religion is not settlement. They cannot settle in the name of the nation. There should be the exchange marriage, with all kinds of people living together. Then no fights and the Kingdom of Heaven comes to 180 nations.

Your organizations are not for their own sake, but to liberate God. That is why I founded them, including UTS. In that way, they can educate your children to be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. Our second generation has to follow that pattern and tradition, or they become trash that we throw away. Your children should be sent to UTS. Then, whatever your background and major is, you should go to UTS. You leaders’ children should follow that formula course.

Do you have absolute faith? Do you have the faith necessary to change gender? That is the meaning of celibacy. They give up the man’s right and woman’s right. If we give them one week to do free sex, will they stop then? But if they are educated, then within one week it will all stop—free sex and homosexuality. In my life, how many women tempted me? Many white women tempted me in the western culture. But I know the standard.

America is a chaos of free sex, mothers living with their son and having relationships. I know all of this, because I gave the blessing to everyone. I want to clean up and purify this and bring it back to God, through absolute faith, love and obedience. You should have greater faith and love than the creation. Otherwise the president becomes a murderer. I fish every day and never eat the striped bass that I catch. It is for the poor hungry people.

Before you go to Africa, learn how to fish. With a large, medium and small rods. They you can feed people and then teach them how to fish. Then you can make friends with everyone.

Today, rain has come and I want to catch the big striped bass to offer for the new month of April. Parents Day will be April 13, and some want to catch and send the biggest fish to Korea and offer it at the holy day. In the 70s, I hunted in the mountains throughout Korea.

Father announces the matching of YSB with Rev. Dr. CK. Please answer; have you decided he is your husband? [Yes.] Have you taken this lady as your wife? [Yes.] You are 82. Can you love your wife? Can you do the man’s role? Make her happy. Can you? [Yes.]

The sexual organs—the concave like a cup below, receiving from the convex above, dropping down and making a sound. Cats make sounds, all the physical world makes sounds when the love is coming down. Like drops of water. The life, love and lineage come together horizontally and mix when the love comes down. It is an exciting sound, exsssss-sss—sssiting! Stimulating! Does God have the same experience? God makes a big sound too.

What is divorce? The Chinese characters—one thousand years, uniting—something like that means marriage. Meaning of darkness, man lost woman is darkness; man meets woman becomes brightness. Looking for the true woman, day and night, this is history. The righteous person to connect to the world with a thread, tying it together, is marriage. This is a very deep meaning that we cannot divorce so we should to teach it to the young people.

On absolute faith, man and woman were created, so they need absolute faith. Once animals reproduce babies, they never divide. Sake, in Japan, means salmon, liquor, and a third meaning. Unification Church is a small group, but if we move quickly… we can be strong and powerful in our hit and pierce the goal. [Father confers with elder Koreans on the translations of various words associated with the wedding feast, clothing, dancing…] Man and woman naked, loving each other, is the original phenomena of the spirit world. The original bright love of God. Dancing at the marriage celebration without any clothes, and make a relationship with each other with no secrets. Mind and body totally disclosed. When you meet your spouse, do you wear clothes when you have sex, or naked? Even 80 years, old, you kick away your underwear. What the founder of the Unification Church, Rev. Moon, explains, people misunderstand, but God understands. God visits the couple’s relationship. Does He do so as a general of the spirit world, with a big retinue, or just naked? God is a naked general. Sweat comes. As founder of the Unification Church, I’m educating you. The animals come out to listen to the love song.

How many times do you want to marry? One time or twice? [One.] Why are you laughing? You should say one, and be serious. Did you pay tuition for my teaching? The soldier who is on the way to the battle, when the battle ends, receives the same honor as those who actually fought. When a line turns around 180 degrees, then the end of the line is first. The ones in front died, and the ones on the way are the survivors. They win because they had a ticket for the bus to the front line. The younger members step over the fallen bodies of the old members, on your way to the feast. That is how we equalize the spirit world.

On Unification Church tithing going to support Africa, serving them and ending hunger. Nothing works for world peace other than my ideas. I told a Senator from Utah that I would help him to save America, and he laughed. But you elder members have held on over the years. The indemnity law is that if God gives the direction and you follow, you can win your life.

God is the first generation, True Parents are the second generation, and blessed couples are the third generation.

[Speaking to sisters in front:] you quarrel and lose everything. We can end quarreling and bring the Kingdom of Heaven. Eyes, bosom, back—man says, I need you, and woman has to be ready. In the animal world, does the male follow the female or vice versa?

I’ve wanted to do many things that I couldn’t; that is my resentment. Do you just fritter away your time? 1965, I visited 48 states in 40 days, sleeping in the car, never in a motel, 12 hours a day driving. We divided into three teams to make $40-$60K, to pay for the event. I invested a lot to save America. The results in the most part are secret.

In Korea there are only about 20K ministers, so 144K blessing of ministers in America is significant.

[Father chooses people who have birthdays in March and July, the seventh month, to participate in fishing today, and it turns into a tournament, with prizes for the biggest fish, and another tournament is announced for April 9 (?).]

We didn’t finish Hoon Dok Hae. I trust what my children send from spirit world. We should clearly understand Heung Jin Nim’s report, then tomorrow the 120 saints of the OT and NT ages revelations should be read. We then need one language and culture centered on God. That is God’s idea. The center concept is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. That is the pillar. Absolute faith, unique faith, unchanging and eternal faith. Absolute, unchanging, eternal and unique love. God dwells in the palace. This the father’s place on which to stand. It is the center of the family, tribe and nation; the center is the family. It is the model form, the real parents’ form, real husband and wife form, real brothers and sisters and children. I don’t know how many times such reports will come. You should understand, who is Heung Jin Nim.

You should prepare a savings account of at least $10,000. Get into the hobby life, the “RV system,” which means traveling around and living in the RV.

Rev. Dong Woo Kim: Father is doing a ceremony today to conclude the first three months of this Cheon Il Guk year. That is why he chose the members to go fishing and you will participate in the ceremony.

## Father’s Remarks from Hoon Dok Hae

## True Father Reverend Sun Myung Moon

### Translation by Rev. Peter Kim
Unofficial Notes by Tyler Hendricks
Morning of 31 January 2002
Kona, Hawai’i

Hoon Dok Hae: (Continuing the recent messages from Christians in spirit world)

Oliver Cromwell (English Puritan, 17th Century)

Most people have no idea about what the meaning of Divine Principle is. They usually say it is hard to understand. Therefore even though they finish one cycle, they come a second time to understand it better, but they do not want to reveal it is their second time. I have studied it three times, cover to cover, and understand it more and realize it is a great truth.

In the first and second cycles, I had questions, but after the third time, it all became clear. I would like to be equipped with Divine Principle teaching and become the world’s best lecturer of Divine Principle. The Divine Principle teaching can tear down the walls between religions, races and nations. I will go out to the world and shout that regardless of religion, race and nation everyone should come together under Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Please accept me; all the glory is yours.

John Milton (English Puritan poet, author of “Paradise Lost,” 17th Century)

We need Divine Principle because it answers all the questions about human history, including Cain and Abel. You cannot answer them from the Bible itself; no one came up with clear answers. But because of God’s grace, Rev. Moon came up with the hidden answers. Honorable Sun Myung Moon came as the Lord of the Second Advent to fulfill the unfinished mission of Jesus Christ. Still, Christians believe in unscientific views of Jesus’ Second Advent. People should study Divine Principle seriously. Throughout human history there have been so many painful events and struggles for God and also for Rev. Moon. People have to understand that. Do you know how much misunderstanding there has been about those historical facts?

An awesome amount of hidden truth about humankind is hidden in Divine Principle; you have to seek it out.

Jonathan Edwards (American theologian, philosopher, Congregationalist pastor, 18th Century)

America is in the position to help people and love the world. God has no other choice but to love Rev. Moon, because Rev. Moon somehow revealed the heart of God to humankind. American people please understand that Rev. Moon brought the truth to you and blessing to you. You should help him and work with him. This is an issue of life or death for the American people. He is a great man.

When we look at Rev. Moon from the spirit world, he is always protected by a light from God. You may not be able to see that from the earth, but remember that he came as the True Parents of humankind, and the proof is the Divine Principle truth, which is revelation from God. We don’t know how to be saved or what will happen after we die. Think about it deeply. When I was on earth, I didn’t know what would happen after I die. I didn’t know the Kingdom of God on Earth or why humankind had to be born with original sin. I didn’t know what happened after the crucifixion. I didn’t know how to solve original sin; these issues bothered me so much on earth. But I was so moved by Divine Principle, because it provided all the answers I needed to have. People have to be reawakened. The youth problems, family and divorce problems: how can we solve them? God loves America. We have to go back to the original spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers.

American people are the elder son but they make God sad. Americans, please be alert. Remember, your forefathers built churches before their own houses. Don’t be sucked up by selfish individualism, you have to go with Godism. God still loves America; he wants to see America awake, not asleep. If America lives for herself, God will leave. America is the Garden of Eden on earth. So, whether or not you follow Rev. Moon’s teachings will determine your future. It is life and death. This is Jonathan Edwards’ petition to you.

Rev. Moon, thank you for loving American people to this point. Please forgive America for giving you so much pain.

James Hudson Taylor (American missionary to China, 19th Century)

When I studied Divine Principle, I could not think of anything to compare it to. A gospel, or truth? What is the identity of Divine Principle? No theologian has done a work such as Divine Principle. Theologians, politicians, everyone should study Divine Principle. Divine Principle introduces things that the Bible does not talk about. We know Divine Principle was revealed through Rev. Moon after he paid much indemnity in a difficult course of life. We also learned about parallel time periods through human history. Through Divine Principle, all the different questions have been answered. Divine Principle teaches about God and mankind. So many people live here together, but only a handful study Divine Principle. These are the ones who have their ears and eyes open. Most Christians still believe in the Lord of the Second Advent, but they do not know where and how to meet him.

I am not a good talker and cannot express my feelings deeply. But one thing I can tell you is that I will serve and attend True Parents.

Frederick Denison Maurice (English founder of Christian Socialism, 19th Century)

God has been walking a lonely path to find his lost children. One day during my earthly life, I was walking on the road and suddenly a bright light appeared and a voice came: “Maurice, Maurice.” The person I saw in the light was bleeding from his ears and eyes. I saw him, and then the voice said, “Maurice, imagine if the person you are looking at is God; what would you do?” I was stunned, and suddenly peace and comfort came over me. I did not understand the meaning of that dream, but now I feel so much struggle. At that time, I didn’t understand the pain and agony God was going through and I don’t know why He couldn’t tell me in the vision. I thought it was the love of God, not the pain and agony of God.

God has been waiting too long for his children to mature and recognize him as their father. Rev. Moon came into the physical world with ultimate truth. True Parents came to us to clarify the relationship between God and humankind. True Parents came to open the path. Of course, he came as the Messiah. I feel that the messiah Rev. Moon still will have to go through a lot of difficulties. I pledge I will do my best to build the Kingdom of God. I will also be the pioneer to spread the new gospel. Thank you Rev. Moon. Now I have come to know God and understand the relationship between God and mankind.

Maurice’s question: How can you introduce the relationship between spirit world and physical world?

Dr. Lee didn’t answer.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer (German pastor and theologian who conspired to assassinate Hitler during World War II, was captured and died in a concentration camp)

I never though in my wildest dreams that humanity would meet this precious day of having True Parents. The evil Lucifer destroyed the life of humanity. Lucifer tried in every possible evil way to keep humanity away from God. Communism almost took over the world. It was a strategy of Lucifer’s. Through it, historical atrocities took place. I am equipped with Unificanon Thought and Divine Principle now. Now I have the sword of truth; I will use it to destroy the evil force. I will teach them about the relationship between humankind and God. I would like to clean up Lucifer’s bastion with Divine Principle. It would have been better had Divine Principle been introduced earlier.

I have a mission and my life belongs to God. So I dedicate everything to God. But my life was given for the wrong cause and I would like to be compensated (or compensate for that-I think it means he wants credit for what he did even though he is saying it was for the wrong cause, and the credit to apply to his work from now for the Divine Principle-ed.). There is only one God. Human ancestors started on the wrong foot, helping Lucifer to build his kingdom, pretending it was the will of God and pretending that Lucifer was the king. Human history has become the history of Lucifer. Through Godism I would like to unite all the philosophies and -isms. History started in the wrong direction, so we have to restore it. That has been the history of restoration; to attempt to eliminate the history of evil.

Another point: the original sin issue. We have to explain to people about the sins and crimes of Lucifer from the beginning. I would like the make a plan to do this. Fifth: people in this world desperately need the Lord of the Second Advent. Through him they can be reborn and receive the blessing. God wants to see all the people on earth join Him.

Last, humanity needs a new leader. This is Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Just the fact that he came to the world is our blessing, but on top of that he brought the truth. Did people help him all the way, or attempt to kill him? When all of humankind is united and educated through Divine Principle, humankind has a future. We all have to return to the original garden, in which our parents are waiting for us.

Uchimura Kanjo

My pride was hurt because I had to learn from a Korean. Why did the Lord of the Second Advent have to come to Korea? All those things bothered me, because they are facts. Everyone has been waiting for the Messiah. Suppose I had been born at the time of Jesus. Would I have served and attended Jesus? I ask that of myself. I think there has to be a revolution of heart; that is the only way to unite Korea and Japan. I am a child of God. Therefore there is a heartistic relationship between God and humankind. Between brothers and sisters there can be fights, but they are related through blood, and so if they fight they can always be cured. But between peoples who are not related by blood, fights lead to creation of enemies. Only through the truth from God can they reconcile and forgive each other.

All Japanese people have to listen to Rev. Moon’s teaching; then they can be united with Koreans. I have absolute faith in the teaching that Rev. Moon is True Parents and messiah. He overcame all the obstacles and difficulties in his life. So I will become a filial son to God.

Mother Teresa, Catholic nun and relief worker, 20th Century

I thank you for providing such a precious truth to us. Because of the denial of the truth at the time of Adam and Eve, the human fall took place and the original sin has passed down all the way to us. I thought that serving the poor was the only way I could serve God, but I didn’t know the truth that can change humanity. I didn’t know the real essence of the life of faith. Eternal happiness cannot be separated from eternal life. I, Teresa, lived in the same period as the Lord of the Second Advent. I feel sorry that I could not introduce this ultimate truth from God to the poor and sick that I took care of. That is the pain in my heart.

I am grateful that I could attend this seminar and learn the truth. From now on, I would like to teach this Divine Principle truth to those poor people who need liberation, so that they can become children of God. Divine Principle made my heart feel poor and empty. All those nuns on earth should learn Divine Principle. But I am wondering how we can give this truth to the family members of nuns. I feel sorry for their life as nuns. I am Teresa, Rev. Moon, and I know that God is wanting all humankind to be united and tear down the walls. I would like to invest the life of Teresa to make it of even more noble value.

Gustavo Guttierez, South American liberation theologian, 20th Century

Rev. Moon is the filial son of all sons, because he is the one who understood the heart of God that was filled with pain and agony. All the major theologians and leaders surely have struggled a lot with the Bible. I saw many of them praying quietly, searching for answers to those questions even after coming to spirit world. Many people have the same kind of questions: they don’t know God, who God is. All these lifelong questions are answered by the Unification Church teaching, the Divine Principle. People do not understand God, even though they are born with an original nature that seeks God. This original character is not something obtained after birth, but is innate.

True Parents, I do not care if you are not the Messiah, but you came up with the truth so you are the greatest teacher of humankind, and as True Parents I will follow you, the greatest teacher.

Paul Tillich, German theologian, 20th Century

The author of Divine Principle is God, and Rev. Moon is the editor. No one knows how much suffering and struggle those earnest theologians and Christian leaders endured because of the wrong understanding of the Bible. All those parables and symbolic teachings have been clearly explained by Divine Principle. The CT era is the era in which the author and editor of the new truth will appear; the messiah and revelator is Rev. Moon. By sending Rev. Moon, God’s tormented heart is now comforted. God created the Garden of Eden and gave the blessing, but because of Adam and Eve’s mistake, human history started on the wrong foot. God’s heart filled with agony. Look at the world now. One place is abundant with wealth and material things and another lacks everything and is starving and dying. They need to unite and share everything. Divine Principle provides the foundation for a true love revolution. From Divine Principle, people will learn how to live. So we need to be humble before the Divine Principle teaching. All the Christian leaders and believers should master Divine Principle first and become the teachers. I’m sure Divine Principle can inspire everyone if they study. So you believers, Christians, please study Divine Principle. Get rid of your prejudice and concepts and study it.

Teihard de Chardin, French monk / anthropologist, 20th Century

When I came to know God, I lived my life following his will. But I didn’t know which direction was correct. I thought I followed the right way, but now I see it was wrong and am repentant. Divine Principle now is known all over the world, but my heart is aching because we did not have Divine Principle. God, as you know, the life of Christian monks is not an easy one. Please, God, save all those lonely souls in the spirit world and physical world. The right attitude is to serve and attend God. We were unfortunate not to have Divine Principle in our lifetime, so help and forgive us. Rev. Moon, has any Vatican pope studied Divine Principle? No. God is the father of humankind; why should Roman Catholicism have this problem? The pain of my heart is the same as the pain of the Catholic Church.

Thomas a Kempis, Dutch mystic, 15th Century

God is the father of mankind, the God of dual characteristics, and He loved his children even though we made a blood relationship with Satan. I learned that there is not a literal judgment of fire (James 3:16). Divine Principle teaches answers about the spirit world clearly and the relationship between the spiritual and physical body, and the original sin and the meaning of resurrection, why we need the providence of restoration, the parallels of history and when the return of the Lord of the Second Advent will take place. Who is Rev. Moon and what is he? Divine Principle is not a truth that can be found through human effort. The contents are not “may be true,” but “must be true.” We never had the chance to have such a precious truth to this point. God is the only God and father of mankind. The messiah is Rev. Moon. Before him, all humankind can become one. Let us be equipped with the truth of the CT era.

True Father: What about you, sitting in this room? Where do you think you will be located in the spirit world? The liberation of God and all those historical figures has been secured. Do you need help? Don’t become a slave of money. When we talk about up, we talk about below. Having “up” presupposes that you have “below.” It is the same thing with right and left, front and rear. By the same token, the same logical relationship applies to man and woman. Perfected Adam and Eve, who have mind and body absolutely united, should build the true family to become the manifestation of God’s love. Look at the world now; it is a world of chaos. Look at married life based on pre-nuptial contracts. The true seed should be passed down from generation to generation in your lineage.

To whom does your mouth belong? God. Are there two owners? We have to say glory to God with all our senses. The ultimate purpose is to serve and attend God. The five senses do not fight one another. We have to bear the true seed, so that we can pass it down to our generations, and not be like the fig tree with no fruit that Jesus cursed.

Hawai’i is in a strategic location, as the bridge between east and west. Normally, the most precious things are hidden, such as air and love. The most hidden thing is love. You can detect air, but love cannot be seen with the eyes. Love can be the source of power. Love for the sake of others will last forever. Wherever you go, love is welcomed. It is the center of all four directions. It takes the central position. That is the eternal truth. Power, knowledge, money may take one direction, but not all directions. That is why you can bring unity through them. That is why selfish individualism is not the tool to unite people, because it represents only one small direction.

Where can you find spirit world? In the center in which true love dwells. The true love center is where we find God. There, we have to have absolute faith, love and obedience. Do you have true love? Satan used to dominate day and night. Now we have to eliminate Satan. Orientals and westerners cannot unite without the exertion of true love power in that effort. Our task is first to know God, then to know the spirit world. Where are you heading? I assigned 72 missionaries to Hawai’i. Why? Because Hawai’i is an extension of Japan. Chaju guk sungri kwon shidae.

We have to change our lifestyle, not just being fond of what we like, but being fond of what we like and what we dislike. [P. Kim: it means to embrace our enemy.] We have to be able to create a legacy of keeping God’s tradition. We have to know, during our lifetime, in terms of the providential timetable in relation with our own life, whether it is time for breakfast, lunch, or to go to bed. Where are you heading? Do you want to walk the course that heaven and earth and will welcome, or just live for your own country? The practice of living for the sake of others can be found in the individual for the family, family for the tribe, tribe for the nation. Once you, as husband and wife, secure absolute unity of mind and body, it is natural to form a true family, because man and woman both are born for the sake of love. [Discussion of concave and convex.]

The ultimate purpose of religion is to build the true family on the level beyond nation, race and religion. It is possible only through the Blessing.

Our goal is to serve the parents of heaven and earth, and become couples of heaven and earth and build the family of heaven and earth. Where are we heading? What about westerners? They should go to the orient, and Orientals to the occident. If you want to keep receiving, you become a thief. It has to be reciprocated. A father or mother cannot claim that position without children, because children make them parents. It is the same with husband and wife; we cannot claim to be a husband without a wife, and siblings without siblings. So your value comes from your partner, and it is natural that we have to live for the sake of others.

Settlement is the foundation for a safe settlement. As baby birds grow, they learn how to fly from their parents. By the same token, we need to learn from our parents how to become autonomous. What do you want to become? A world leader who will be recognized as a filial son, patriot, saint and divine son? Do you have the true seed within you? Your conscience knows. As mind and body have their unique functions and roles, even though my children graduated from good colleges and graduate schools, I don’t care and I ask them to go to UTS.

We have to secure at least seven generations. The theologians and religious leaders are watching the theological institutes I have established, like UTS and Sun Moon University. So we have to provide a good quality of education. A tree provides at least a root, trunk, branch, leaf and seeds. Which part do you want to become? A root, trunk or seed? Nature has been created in a way such as to preserve the different species unless there is a disturbance. Some seeds fly from one place to another to multiply. Some take a year to germinate. There are all different types and levels. [To the Korean leaders:] Do you want to go to UTS or work here in Hawai’i? [We will follow your direction.]

There are twelve types of characters, like the 12 months and 12 disciples of Jesus. So we should learn how to embrace each of the 12. Do you want to start from the zero point or from the 10-degree point? We have to remember that even if we join spirit world, we will know and understand God only as much as we understand Him here on earth; not more, not less. We have to secure the zero point and, when necessary, go back there for a new start. The zero point is where you may have the chance to find God. The terrible phenomena of the contemporary world, such as the so-called sexual liberation, which consists of free sex and homosexuality, are the last signs of the secular world, nothing more. So history has to go back to the zero point again.

Mrs. —, where is your elder son? Is he going the right direction? Even the true children have to go the normal way, on the same level as others. For many years, I fasted on my birthday.

I may be a kingmaker, but I will never serve as the president of a nation. President Bush in his State of the Union address the other day called North Korea, Iran and Iraq the major terrorist nations. North Korean people are so stubborn and aggressive, they are determined to build a kingdom even with communism, and that is why they are considered dangerous as a terrorist state.

The testimonies from the people in spirit world make it impossible to deny … What is your opinion on these testimonies [to the former presidents]. [It is true and should be publicized more.] That is true. The new document should be translated into English as soon as possible and distributed throughout the world.

We know about God clearly. Who is our father? God is our father. What is the meaning of the blessing and true family? It is true Adam’s family. Who was Adam’s family head? God. Therefore God is our father. Who gave you your name, your father or God? Your physical parents gave you your name, and we have to negate it. Do people of the Cholla province and Kongsan province still fight with each other? Cholla people are more expressive; if they like it or don’t like it, they say so easily. People have characteristics based on their province. Some are good in business. The people of the northernmost province near Russia, Hamyoung, are stingy and good businessmen. They can make money, the saying goes, by selling river water. Cholla province people may want to sell the whole world. They are good as diplomats because they are talkative and expressive. Many key Unification Church leaders are from Cholla: Rev. Yu, Rev. Hwang, Dr. Yang.

Don’t try to establish your own foundation, but try to establish a foundation to teach Divine Principle, not a foundation to lead your life comfortably. I said to print the messages from the Christians in spirit world, but there was some compromise. Our leaders are chairman not because of his career but because Father is standing behind them. If you don’t work well, the blessing will leave America. The message from spirit world has to be given without alteration.

I am from Pyong-an province. One of my grandfathers graduated from a seminary and was a Confucian scholar. He was a friend of Syngman Rhee and the minister of a church. After I returned from Japan, I felt the need to learn the languages and cultures of Korea’s neighbors, China and Russia. I was on my way to Manchuria, but suddenly I turned around and worked for an electrical company for one year. I changed my mind about going to Manchuria. We all have to learn different languages, at least English, Japanese and Korean.

The machine factories in Germany-the goal was not fulfilled. Tongil heavy machinery, Il Hwa, McCol-[Father reminiscences]. I owned a house above the Blue House, and a fortune teller told President Park, Chung Hee, that it was creating bad fortune for Korea. So they sent a truck full of money to buy the house, about $5 million, and I sent the truck away and gave them the house for free. I would not get entangled with their money. Former Korean presidents may have enjoyed their position for a few years, but so what? They are all condemned now. Korea has been riddled with scandals. When they were running for office, I gave them good advice and they promised they would follow it, but once they were elected, they broke all their promises. It is typical of politicians, Japanese politicians too. Volunteers from the Unification Church, with my encouragement, turned the tide in Reagan’s first campaign for the presidency. The presidency, on the condition that the president is vertically connected to God, should be a 16-year term. Then he can be elected again, and then his wife or younger brother.

Cholla province people are disadvantaged in Korea, so you should go out of Korea. The world is big, with 180 nations. We have to learn Japanese, because you meet Japanese people everywhere in the world. Usually the Japanese are respected.

The main building at Sun Moon University cost about $45 million. We have a major in Pure Love at Sun Moon University. For that class, smoking and drinking are causes for expulsion.

If I die, you will left alone. So is the chaju guk centered on you or me? [You.] But I will be in spirit world. [Even in spirit world you will govern us.] Is it an easy lie, or true?

If I order you today to go to UTS, the president of UTS will help you get the student visa. Once you graduate from UTS, you can go for a Ph.D. I wish I could study at UTS too. But my memory is weakening.

If there were one man and two women, with no one else around, would there be peace or fighting? You all have Japanese wives, but aren’t Korean women closer in spirit to Korean men? International marriage is not easy; you must be crazy. Eventually all races will be mixed into one basket. You may call yourself a British born Korean, or a Korean born British, or whatever. Am I a fool for marrying many people inter-racially? [No, you are a genius.] In the beginning when I first initiated it, there was so much opposition from parents in Japan. Now many of those opposing parents are positive because they see wonderful grandchildren. I am the champion of arranging international marriages.

I am the father of criminals, because once I give them the blessing they call me father.

If you want to go to UTS, you can go. You decide.

[Rev. Baek Joong Ku, RD of Los Angeles, offers a testimony.] About 20 years ago, I met a mysterious man who called me on the phone. I was a church leader. He told me he knew how to get to my church. Exactly thirty minutes later he showed up at the doorstep, even though our church was not easy to find. He was in his thirties; he looked handsome and intelligent. He had clear, deep eyes. He introduced himself as a monk who was pursuing jangsoo teaching, the teaching of those who go into the mountains for enlightenment. He had ability to read people’s minds. He could figure out what someone far away is thinking about. While he was meditating in the mountains, he obtained that ability. He had that much power. But he didn’t know how he got it. He started channeling; it was not his own voice that I heard.

Some people have power to break a rock with their fist. He had stronger power than that. He could hurt people without even touching them. The reason he came to my church was because our name had the word, Holy Spirit, and he wanted to find the source of his power, so he visited many places that had the word “spirit” in its name. He wanted to find an answer to where his power came from. I started teaching him Divine Principle, about the relationship between spirit world and physical world, and returning resurrection. I explained that one of his ancestors who was enlightened was helping him. That is why he was speaking someone else’s words.

He agreed with that, and stayed for three hours and studied Divine Principle. He was grateful. His name was Hong. The next day he called again, and I told him on the phone that right now he has a good spirit, but his door is open and evil spirits might sneak in. So you had better take care of your relationship with your ancestor. When I met him, I asked him about fasting. He smiled and said that he did so many fasts, even 100-day fasts in the mountains. I asked what you eat and he said he gets nutrition from the air. In deep meditation you can see balls of energy floating in the air and you can catch them.

I asked him, how did you find my church, without directions? He said, when I spoke to you over the phone, I caught your ki (life energy) and I followed it. His teacher has that ability too, but his level was higher than his teacher. There are such holy men seeking enlightenment in the Himalayas. Through Divine Principle, that holy man found the answer about the relationship between good and evil spirits. When I hear the testimonies from Christian leaders in spirit world, I believe in the power of Divine Principle. Divine Principle is great.

[Rev. Ku offers the closing prayer.]

## Rough and Unofficial Notes from Hoon Dok Hae

### Rough and Unofficial Notes from Hoon Dok Hae
The morning of January 27, 2002 Kona, Hawai’i
Translation by Rev. Peter Kim; Notes by Tyler Hendricks
Sunday 27 January 2002
Pledge Service

True Father: Chaju Guk!

When we do Hoon Dok Hae, our mind and body should unite in attending God. This generates fragrance that attracts good spirits.

Cheon Il Guk – Cheon Il means two people becoming one, beginning from the unity of mind and body and going all the way to unity of heaven and earth. When we become one with our subject, then we connect with our ultimate subject, God – that is the meaning of the absolute realm of the autonomous ownership (chaju guk) nation. If the chaju guk becomes subject, then the victorious realm will follow automatically.

So whatever level you are on, town, state, whatever, if you are united with God, then heavenly fortune will protect you and help you accomplish what you want to do. That is what is called the victorious realm. With that privilege and determination, we begin this new era. The pre-condition for that is unity of mind and body as an individual. We should be able to see our destiny in this era. Liberation of all things, of humankind, is here. Whether we live or die, everything will become God’s glory and victory. We should have no fear, because we know we will live for eternity. In other words, we are outside the realm of death.

So I declared the chunoh chungcha: chunoh means noon, chungcha means settlement; settlement of noontime, which means our life is vertically and horizontally straight. There will be no shadow in our life. We have to become the center that will bring the liberation.

Hoon Dok Hae: We do not possess all things. Because of the fall, Satan stole all things. Therefore God and humankind were separated from each other. Because of the fall, all things no longer belonged to Adam and Eve.

True Father: Therefore we should own nothing in the secular world. There should be voluntary sacrificial living offering on the individual level and national level. People say this belongs to America, that belongs to Japan, but they all are robbers. What the secular world claims for itself is stolen. Upon the registration of blessed couples, you have to trace back your mother’s lineage and father’s lineage and provide restoration to them. As we offer sovereignty to God, the good spirits will come down to work with us.

What we possess and enjoy in the secular world are stolen goods. The Old Testament era was the era of sacrificing all things; the New Testament era saw the sacrifice of children; and the Completed Testament era called for the sacrifice of parents. Now we are in the Fourth Adam Era. Therefore we have to come out of our old concept and habits as a German, American, Japanese, or Korean. We become citizens of heaven and follow the heavenly tradition. If you are stubborn and stick with your old habits and possessions, you will be like maggots. Without having that condition set as an individual and nation, you have no ladder to climb up. If we do not make the total living offering, it is like exploitation. You sit on stolen goods and still use them even though you know they are stolen.

We know my life course, with opposition on every level. But now, in the Fourth Adam Era, on the foundation that I made, I declared the era of the victorious realm of the autonomous ownership nation (chaju guk), in which True Parents’ life, love and lineage prevail. Do not claim ownership according to your nationality. This is the reason that I called you former presidents of the seven providential nations. You have to repent for the sake of yourself and your nation. That is why I want you to go through the workshop at Chung Pyung Lake with the Ambassadors of Peace. You are like the tribal head of your nation.

Everyone has to do Tribal Messiahship, to provide restoration for his tribe, to open the door for them to receive the blessing. In Korea there are 273 different clans. They should be united and eventually receive True Parents’ blessing. This is the absolute way to build the Kingdom of God.

Don’t be proud of your wealth. Your wealth is the result of exploitation. Your ancestors! That’s why it doesn’t belong to any nation. We have to offer it to God and receive it back from him.

The oceans have been abandoned and neglected. During World War II, Japan tried to conquer America and failed. Now it is not Japan, but heavenly soldiers who should land in America. That is why Hawai’i is the bridge, the beachhead. The countries that share the Pacific, such as Korea, Taiwan, Japan, North and South America, are in trouble. There is no ownership of those nations. Even the UN lost ownership. The continents have no owners. So we have to establish a strong enough foundation here to make a successful landing, along with God.

That’s why I invited you seven presidents here, to start praying and preparing for the True Parents’ birthday celebration, and mobilize the Peace Ambassadors to do that, and join them at the workshop. By 2004, Korea should be united. As a spiritual condition, I initiated registration for Unification Church members. Once Christianity is united, Korea can easily be united by having all the Christians buy the land.

Throughout human history, we have this privilege of having True Parents only once. Again, I remind you of the autonomous ownership nation (chaju guk). The era of victory. Because of the fall of man, we lost autonomy and ownership. We lost a sense of direction. But now, because of the teaching and merit of the age, we have the luxury of being in the victorious era of the autonomous ownership nation (chaju guk).

Don’t ever think that there is no spirit world. During World War II, the allied and axis nations fought, six nations and when we add Korea, we get seven nations.

This is the absolute era of God. Yesterday I declared the era of the victorious realm of the autonomous ownership nation (chaju guk). Today is the first day of that era, the day of the liberation of all things.

Hoon Dok Hae: The transfer of ownership from Satan to God.

True Father: False parents took everything away, so we have to return it to God. In the last fifty years, I guided the use of a large flow of funds. Nothing was for my own sake; it was all for the providence. It was not wasted; no one can take away what was done. The ancestors are still standing behind what I did; nothing is lost. Because Satan has opposed me on all levels, I never gave up. This is not a children’s game. I have been fighting Satan all my life. Again, throw out your old secular world habits and ways. Soon we will see the time that you cannot see me freely. If you don’t fulfill your responsibility, newcomers will take away your privileges.

Your body should be a holy offering, but think of how stained it is. The time will come when if we doze during Hoon Dok Hae, our ancestors will wake us up with a punch. We should be able to claim ourselves as a clean mind and body so that we are qualified to be registered properly and be accepted.

Blessed couples from the 36 to the 430 Blessings will gather during my birthday and be screened and re-organized. Each individual should have his own ladder to climb up. I have shown you how to climb the ladder. The spirit world will interfere with our life for the sake of goodness. If we make a mistake, we will face the consequences immediately. For some people, therefore, it is a fearful era. So, remember the era of the victorious realm of the autonomous ownership nation, so that God can do whatever He wants with this world.

I offered forgiveness to the blessed couples through the registration blessing, so if you make a mistake again, I cannot do anything about it, but your ancestors will take care of you, one way or another. So live for the sake of God and True Parents. When Jacob was running away in the night, God showed him a ladder. In the same way, we each need a ladder. Don’t fall off of it. Whatever mission we may do or talk about, the prerequisite is the unity of mind and body. That comes first, even for climbing the ladder, first on the individual level. On the family level, your family should climb it all together. True Parents already set the ladder safely; you just have to climb it. You have to persevere until the end. You absolutely have to be united with True Parents. If you have no confidence to tag along, you have to become like a fly sitting on my jacket and go through the eight stages together. A fly on a plane from Japan will be carried to America. So absolute faith, love and obedience is needed.

I am educating youth in Korea, students on all levels of schools. At least I am setting a condition to offer this God-centered education. If they don’t take it, it is their problem. I am offering this education on an equal level, regardless of race, religion and nation. Remember when Lot’s wife turned back to gaze upon Sodom and turned into a pillar of salt. This is a time like that. We just have to look forward. There have been struggles and conflicts between races; this should cease. In the last days, … I am not a fool. I am overqualified to be a national president and I have never sought such a position.

The word ‘True Parents’ is the most precious word. God is distributing all the treasures of his museum, but we do not appreciate the value. Our body should be kept pure and clean, along with our mind. Then there is a chance to see the value. That is why, for the ceremonies of holy days, you have to wear holy robes to cover your stained body and mind. It is not the time for me even to look back, much less pull or look after you. You are on your own. That is why the autonomous nation was declared. You have to stand on your own two feet. You have to pay the debt.

If you make an offering to God, you must forget it. Even if it were dropped into the middle of the ocean, you don’t think about it. The deepest point of the Pacific Ocean is 10,000 meters deep, near the Philippines. God is the owner of the ocean and land; everything belongs to God. Even if it costs America, Japan and Korea, Father wants to secure an island nation.

Hoon Dok Hae: Through the restoration process, we can inherit ownership from God.

True Father: The autonomous nation is important; it has God’s lineage attached to it. If you stand on that foundation, Satan cannot snatch you away. You have not the foggiest idea of the victorious realm of the autonomous nation, but now as I explain it, you nod your heads. Remember the total sacrificial living offering you made, it is for educating people. Some nations spent it to buy land; they will be punished. The purpose is clear: it is for education.

Once you have your letter, you can hang onto it and close your eyes and climb up. I’ve already told you how to do it. Once you establish a father-son relationship, if you make small mistakes it is okay. Like little children make small mistakes and the parents do not punish them. But when you grow up, it is different. When I go to spirit world, the Unification movement will prevail and prosper. The spirit world is full of blessed couples who will work with you, following my direction.

Hoon Dok Hae: We climbed the ladder from the level of servant of servants and on up, eight stages. We have to offer absolute faith, love and obedience to God and True Parents. The 4.4 celebration day was declared in Punta del Este. We did these conditional days, by which I cleaned up spirit world step by step. The return of the ocean and land, the different stages of return took place. The oceans should be connected to the land, the continents. If all things receive enough love, they will naturally return to the source of that love, the owner. That is natural law.

If we utilize resources properly, the world will really prosper. But we have misused and polluted. The world will become like a zoo. The insects will have to be protected. Animals can survive by means of the food chain. If necessary, we can build a gigantic building and raise all kinds of living things, from insects to tigers and lions. In other words, a zoo.

Krill is the key food for animals and fish. We can even build a fish farm in the middle of the Sahara desert. As long as we have fertilizer and water, we can farm anywhere. It is just a matter of building the tunnel (canal). There is plenty of krill in the Antarctic. On each continent, there is a big desert, and we have to develop it for human life, as a fish farm or whatever we can do. We have to conquer the North Pole and Antarctic. If we don’t have a joint venture of all nations, and if each individual nation just pursues its own benefit, the poles will be exploited and disappear.

[Father’s prayer in the Hoon Dok Hae reading:] Since 1963, I started the ocean-centered providence. I have done this in order to establish a strong enough foundation. I know no children have cared enough about the ocean in the past. But there is the hope and vision of all humanity and True Parents. Therefore, I finally came to Kodiak and offered eight points to you. Through this condition of declaration, I want to see the land and ocean connected. I pray that heaven and earth be united, and hell and heaven be united. We should be connected to God’s lineage. Through that, we can secure the realm of liberation for eternity. I pray for the completion of blessing. I report this to you on this morning, to take everything as victory and glory for you. I report all this to you. All the blessed couples in the spirit world and on earth should work together. Centered on Jesus, the major saints should work together. All this should begin in spirit world and eventually reach down to the physical world. I pray for the eternal world filled with your glory and victory. Please remember this providential declaration this morning. We will march together in the world of the omnipotent, omniscient, almighty, ubiquitous God. Amen.

True Father: The victorious realm does not come by itself; we have to create it. If you watch the animal world, for most species, almost half of the offspring die. That is natural law. The food chain exists there. We may not be able to create new species of insects and animals, but we have to preserve them at least. Species become extinct and we should not allow that. Catching fish is not for the sake of eating. We need food, but the purpose should be greater than that. We should be the owner and master of the world.

Yesterday, they caught some fish, ono and striped marlin. Have faith in your life; realize that you live for the sake of God and humanity. All things are there for the sake of humanity. So, you enjoy your life. Even though all things recognize me, when I walk on a field, I feel the plants greeting me. We should all become like that.

Hoon Dok Hae: Return of land. June 24, 2000, Han Nam Dong, I asked, “Can you take responsibility for the reunification of Korea by 2004?” No one had a dream about the registration process, but I initiated it because you did not know what to do, and also the blessing of people in the spirit world. At Chung Pyung Lake, last time, I told the trainees that the thing God respects and adores the most is the love organ. Because that is where God can be joined with His children. No religious founder has said such a thing, because in the secular world, talk of the love organ is the lowest level talk.

Our conscience constantly reminds us what to do. It creates the equal level, balance. Through our love organ, new life can be created. It is like a melting pot in which the husband and wife’s life melt together and create a new life. That is why, if you have no children, your life ends in one generation. That is why those who avoid having children are consigning themselves to hell. Those who avoid marriage will face the same consequence because it means that they will not have children.

The return of the ocean and land are necessary. Once this return process is done, we should play the role of owner to the ocean and land. Because of this era of the victorious realm of the autonomous nation, there will be no opposition anywhere. Soon, everyone will be issued a Cheon Il Guk ID card, a plastic card that will validate you wherever you go.

Japan is an island nation, and people from an island nation cannot conquer a continent. Japan should not oppose me; if it continues to, it will face difficulties. I am still calling women missionaries out of Japan, to save as many people as possible out in the larger world.

My children may be stubborn, like me, but once they know the truth, they can turn around 180 degrees, like me. What is the significance of having True Parents? Through True Parents your lineage can be cleansed and reconnected to God. You know the parable of the prodigal son. If your son comes back hungry, you will give him your food even if you have to starve. That is the heart of parents. If the parents turn their back on the prodigal son, where can he go? You are his last hope, so you have to embrace him and give him another chance. When the prodigal’s father offered the banquet, do you think that the rest of the children, who had stayed with the father, felt good or bad? They should rejoice with the father, not feel bad.

Look at the light bulb filament … it is black, but provides bright light. The black race is more athletic and physically better built, on average. When you look at anything carefully, you will find the power of God there. Therefore you cannot deny the existence of God.

What is the purpose of man’s sexual organ? To use as a chopstick? To urinate? What determines a man or woman, the sexual organ, or the shape of the body? No matter how rich a nobleman may be, if at the time of his wedding he has no functioning love organ, he will be discarded and abandoned. Even the bride, once she realizes that her husband cannot function as a man, will keep crying and eventually end her life or abandon him. Again, the unity of mind and body is key. So my lifelong motto is to seek total self-control before seeking to serve God’s will for the universe.

If you know my direction and practice it, blessed couples will never wind up in hell.

Hoon Dok Hae: We have to take our own responsibility. Unification Church member families should have enough resources to support themselves, physically and spiritually. I offered a prayer to unite land and ocean at Chung Pyung Lake. In Uruguay I bought a national treasure and restored it. Japan and Philippines are counterparts, like Korea and Uruguay. If the people in North Korea starve, we have to provide them food. The U.S., Japan, Russia and China should help achieve the unification of Korea. Can you be responsible for the unification of Korea, horizontally and vertically? You should take responsibility for your people and nation.

The DMZ should be eliminated, with help from America, Russia, China and Japan. We have to educate them to do so. I provided a foundation for North Korea to stand. If I bought enough land in South America, North Korea’s people can come there and settle. At least pray for this, even if you cannot take responsibility for it. The children born in Korea are blessed with heavenly fortune because of God’s providence culminating here. I don’t feel pity for Korea anymore. I offered education nationwide in Korea at least three times, so I fulfilled my responsibility. If you Korean leaders do not fulfill yours, then the reunification will be postponed and I will leave Korea. I have to carry on God’s providence. The National Messiahs returned to Korea. You have to spearhead this holy mission. If you are responsible, you will do it without expecting help. I gave new assignments to many of you today. You have to stand on the front line and start digging the ground. Offer education to the people, to your tribal members. We have God-centered spiritual sovereignty now. If Protestantism and Roman Catholicism had united after World War II, the world now would be filled with blessed couples. We have to offer Hoon Dok Hae at Christian churches. If you put your neck out, you can do it.

Father’s prayer in Hoon Dok Hae: I declared the return of the ocean and land in South America and Korea. I am connecting the six continents and five oceans and returning it to this original place of the Garden of Eden. All the blessed couples in spirit world and newly blessed couples on earth should be united, and have the autonomous right as true subjects who naturally find true objects. We should inherit the absolute heart of True Parents. By doing so, we can secure God’s fatherland. The liberation of all things is the foundation for the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven. I pray that all the blessed members may have absolute unity of mind and body. Please enjoy this victory and glory, dear God. All things want to be governed and owned by you. On this day, June 24, 2000, everything has been returned to you, so please receive it, and I order all the members to march forward to build the Kingdom of God.

The return of the cosmos, heaven and earth, June, 2000

The entire universe should be offered to God through True Parents. We have to go beyond ourselves through self-negation. That is why we need the condition of making the total living offering. Not a dead offering, but a living offering. It should be cut in half, like the animals in the Old Testament, still alive, because we have to bring life into this dead world. Making the offering secures ownership. It is a symbolic offering, but it gives the right to claim ownership.

True Father: This is not my own interpretation; this is the mandatory process we have to go through.

Hoon Dok Hae: In order to make the total living offering, we have to be able to erase our own name. Everything has to be offered; total negation. By doing so, we can be reconnected to God.

True Father: We need to receive new names. What if we switched men’s and women’s names? Or switched eastern and western names? I don’t want to see even a shadow of Satan. Take your mother’s family name instead of your father’s, for example. It is unfair for women to have to take the man’s family name when they marry. What is better, mother and son, or mother and daughter? Moja means “mother and son” and also means “hat.”

Hoon Dok Hae: I have no enemy. The principle has no boundaries and no enemies. Everyone knows.

True Father: Even America as a nation should make the total living offering to God. Centering on Christianity, America should do it. America is a melting pot of races and nationalities. Once America makes the offering, it represents the world. That is why I spent over 30 years in America. Christianity cannot complain about my devotion to America; I have done enough. I clearly can claim this. The world should follow and resemble me, so we are issuing the Cheon Il Guk card, which has True Parents’ photo. When you have it, you carry True Parents around and your ancestors will stay with you, all the time, so you will live with them together. Throughout my life, I never skipped Sunday morning pledge, even out on the ocean, or in North Korea. Don’t you think my life has been worthy? [Yes.] If you are a minister, you should be able to teach people. Some of our church leaders avoid preaching on Sundays, but I always come back to the original point on Sunday and worship God, show respect to God and do kyung bae to God. You have to able to feed your bone marrow to your congregation.

Most Korean leaders in South America were chased out of the Korean movement. The leaders in the Pantanal too. By the secular world’s standard, they would be abandoned, but I embraced them and gave them another chance in South America. I embraced them just as I embraced Japan, an enemy nation.

We have to focus on educating children. If Japan opposes that, it will have no future. It is a bride nation, so women missionaries are being sent all over the world. North Korea, Russia and China are a threat to Japan. Japan justifies its invasion of other countries by claiming they are helping those nations. There is a disputed island between Korea and Japan.

Why is Rev. Yu in charge of Uruguay and Japan? It is because Uruguay is the counterpart of Korea, so he is the bridegroom of both nations. Japanese economic power will not prevail; they have to learn how to open their hearts and love their enemies. In Japan, all kinds of women tried to seduce me, even grandmothers. When spring comes, new buds should come onto the trees and bring new fruit. Japanese members, raise your hands. I have been protecting Japan from criticism and attack.

The process is the return of ocean, return of land, and then the return of heaven and earth. That is the process we go through. The seed of life remains intact even if forty years have passed. In other words, truth will remain as truth for eternity. If you are united with my heart, you will be in tears when you pray, even as a man, missing me. Blood is thicker than water, yet true love is even thicker and stronger than blood.

Hoon Dok Hae: We launched a campaign to restore 144,000 churches.

True Father: That is why we will have a 144,000 clergy blessing this April. We are talking about 288,000 individuals. This is the last days.

Hoon Dok Hae: The Bible says that at the second coming, 144,000 believers will welcome him and be the first resurrection. If we sacrifice our body, our spirit self will grow. When we walk, we always have the legs take turns. It is natural. By the same token, the Cain and Abel problem is a universal issue. Even between Adam and Eve there should be the right order. Woman should follow man. There should be a love relationship between husband and wife. Only after you love your enemy can you return to your hometown. You should give this truth to your family and relatives first. That is why I give you the Tribal Messiah providence.

Again, I have responsibility to inform the return of the ocean and land, but today I declared the return of heaven and earth. We bought much land here and there, as a condition for returning land. I have focused on the ocean many years as a condition for return of the ocean. I have shed tears in prayer as a condition to return heaven and earth. We have to become the owners of the ocean and land. Have confidence that the True Parents have done it.

True Father: I have had tens of billions of dollars, but have spent it all for the sake of the providence.

Call people sikkhu first, then by their nationality of birth, because we have the same ancestor. German sikkhu, not German person. (Sikkhu is Korean for “family member.”) Teach your children Korean. There should be one language. Animals the world over speak the same language. Cows that lived 1,000 years ago, spoke the same language. But human beings have hundreds of different languages and sounds. Mr. Inoue, can you speak Korean? [Yes.] How about English? [Yes.] Mr. Kagiyama! [conversation about his language ability] Study Korean.

Whoever graduates UTS should be a world leader, and all leaders must graduate from UTS.

Hoon Dok Hae (prayer): Unification Church leaders should bring the unification of Korea. The ideal of cosmic love is lighting the entire universe, but because of the fall of the human ancestors, history is a story of han. God, you never gave up, and started the work of restoration, but your children have not done their responsibility. Now True Parents finally appeared, who understand your heart and ideal of creation, and introduced all of this to humankind. I have come through 40 years of suffering, but now …

There was a chance after World War II for Christianity to unite with you and begin a new world through the blessing. But they lost that opportunity. Now this is a new time for humanity to connect with God. So we are welcoming a new spring, to the liberated spirit world and physical world, and securing the unification of Korea. We have a great task in front of us. I finally declared the return of ocean, land and heaven and earth. That’s why I came here to Cheju Island. We have to reach beyond Halla Mountain, Mt. Everest …

All the declarations I have made have nothing to do with Satan. I declare in this hour that the entire cosmos will be in the position on God’s side. The blessing of return is declared. By doing so, the Unification Church providence will prosper. This morning of June 29, I declare this. Please use it as a condition. I offer this declaration for the return of heaven and earth. Amen.

True Father: After this year, nations will divide and split, but the Unification Church movement will prosper. God’s kingship has been established. Conditionally, more than half of humanity is in the realm of blessing.

Many top leaders are from the Cholla province: the Continental Director of America, Rev. Yu of Japan, the top leader of Korea. Cholla has suffered historically, but the time has come for you to be resurrected. That is why God is using you as top leaders. You tend to be more liberal types. God is fair. Cholla has been put down, but in the last days, people from Cholla are used as key leaders. There is always an order, even in making an offering table. When I select leaders for here and there, I follow a certain order. I am putting some pressure on Cholla province leaders. It is the southern province, the Kwangju area.

When former President Eu wrote Divine Principle, he could not write anything on his own. He had to follow my directions on each page. I sent four missionaries to America: (Dr.) Bo Hi Pak, (Dr.) Young Oon Kim, (Mr.) Sang Ik Choi, and (Dr. David) Sang Chul Kim. Young Oon Kim was the leader among the four. When I first came to America, some told me that since I don’t speak English, I had to listen to them. But I never paid attention to that. I never forget certain things. You can be amazed by my memory. I sent Dr. Pak to _______________ when his election was taking place, to secure the reunification of Korea. He promised things, but did not keep his promises.

Hoon Dok Hae: Liberation of God

Securing the liberation of God is our final task. Because of the fall, God was put in confinement. That is why we, as children of God, should secure the state of liberation of God. Vertically we are His children. Horizontally we are brothers and sisters. But that foundation was lost by the fall. God lost his prince to his enemy, so he has been the God of han. Your king is alive, but people think you are dead, that is God’s life. God’s ideal of love was not fulfilled. We have to relieve his lament of han and feel His heart.

True Father: Once we secure the heart relationship through three generations, the entire universe will respond. In order to reach that level, we have to pay the proper indemnity on each stage. Please secure your grandchildren, so the four-position foundation is set over three generations. That is mandatory to enter the Kingdom of God. Otherwise you will be just floating. We have to understand how serious it was for God to have True Father born in this physical world, after 6,000 years of waiting. The order of restoration is first the oneness between mother and children, then the unity between father, mother and children together, and then as a family unit they start revolving around God’s heart. This is the formula that will never change. No one came up with this except for me. Don’t take it for granted.

Restoration of the realm of God’s heart. The quality of gold increases by carets, from 12K to 24K. There is white gold and several kinds of gold. Regular gold is gold color, externally, but white gold has internal color. The color white is the most central color for anything. If you spin a rainbow, you get the color white.

We have to liberate God. If you truly understand Divine Principle, as a man when you pray you will miss True Father with tears. Think of how far you are from that heartistic relationship with me. If you cast a net in the deep sea, you have to have a long enough rope and the net should be big enough and deep enough. There is an island nation called Palau, located near the deepest spot in the Pacific Ocean.

Hoon Dok Hae: The liberation of God is the precondition to liberate humankind. Christians believe that God is the God of judgment, but our view is that we have to liberate God. The entire world, all the people, should be the object of God’s love, but because of the fall we lost that status. So how can we achieve the world’s unification? Once we find a person who is an absolute object of God, we can unite with that person and achieve that goal.

Think of how painful God’s heart must be in dealing with the evil parents in the physical world, who do not care about him but are only self-centered. If all humankind comes together, they may liberate this world but they will not liberate the heart of God. Liberating God’s heart is the revolution of revolutions; that’s why I came as a revolutionary.

God has been confined until now. He is full of lamentation having lost his son. This is the culmination of restoration. Once we know Unification Thought, God will dwell in the family. Centering on your family, we should be able to sing a song of love and springtime. Because of the fall, we lost our original homeland. So we have to be able to return to that state. Eventually, we have to achieve the liberation of God. Only after the liberation of God will the liberation of True Parents take place, then the liberation of children. In order to do that, we have to secure sovereignty.

Through the restoration of our tribe, we can secure the foundation to liberate God. I have many titles: True Father, Master, Reverend. The false parents appeared as a result of the fall that was caused by ignorance, so we have to find truth so that we avoid ignorance, and find true love, so as to attend God as our true subject.

Who can liberate God? He cannot liberate himself, although he is omniscient and omnipotent. Liberating God is the foundation for liberation of humanity, but he could not do it because he was confined. The only person who can liberate God are True Parents, who can liberate human history as the Messiah. God and Satan are in conflict and so cannot do it. False parents caused the conflict. Now the True Parents finally appeared, so even Satan has to recognize them. So we have to establish a foundation strong enough to gain Satan’s voluntary surrender.

True Father: Elder son’s rights, parent’s rights, king’s rights, we lost all of them because of the fall, and we have to get them back at this time. Cain was the elder son, and now we have to reverse the order. This restoration of the elder son’s rights should take place voluntarily and naturally. When Satan took the elder son’s right, he used force and falsehood.

Satan cannot make any excuse before True Parents, but only offer voluntary surrender. That is why True Parents will secure the liberation of Satan. What about your life? We have to be able to go to the bottom of hell. Sleeping less than anyone else. Such a humble life will ignite your torch. My life has been like the life of a fool, in a secular view, like a handicapped life. But in reality, I am not handicapped. To preserve God’s providence and the Unification Church movement, I had to do many things. Your conscience knows the direction you have to go, what mistakes you made, whether you are true or false, and to what degree.

Hoon Dok Hae: Do you have true love in your mind and body? If you have conflict between mind and body, you have no true love in your heart. No one other than True Parents knew how can we liberate the eight stages.

True Father: But you know now, and if all the six billion people are willing to learn from me, it can be done overnight. Question yourself why you are here, why you are in the movement. You should be able to answer yourself. Sometimes I will test you and I may punch you. You have to ask yourself why you got punched. Suppose you got that punch in order to relieve God’s lamentation. In that case, it would be an honor. Don’t even think you are superior to anyone. Be humble. Arrogance is the eternal enemy. Even if you give up your life, if that can secure the liberation of God, you should be able to sacrifice yourself. I never resisted torture in prison, as long as I was alive, I was still thinking about God’s providence.

I may look like a fool, but no; inside I had everything planned out. I have been educating my own children to have absolute faith in me. I have been very tolerant to them so that they could realize what they were doing and come back to me. I know what is going on with each child and I have been patiently waiting for their voluntary return. Even true children are afraid of me. True Mother knows that I do not live following impulses, but strictly following the Principled course. Don’t think the course of indemnity is easy. It is a miracle that I have survived 58 years since the liberation of Korea. They labeled me a robber of their women. There were temptations and seduction, women coming naked and offering me their breasts. There were women who were young, who were daughter-like, wife-like, and mother-like. Mr. Im’s mother was an ardent follower, so when he was young he and his father opposed me. (True Father scolds Mr. Im, good-naturedly.) There have been many types of women in my life, queen-like mother-like, but I overcame them all. I always followed the rule. Mrs. Gil Ja Sa thinks True Mother is like a younger sister. Whatever is good, she (Mrs. Sa) thinks belongs to her. If she keeps up like that, she’ll be chased out. There is an order. The nose cannot replace the eyes. The ears have to be ears. I always follow the heavenly law and rule, so Satan cannot accuse me. Many people say that I will fail, but I will not fail.

Hoon Dok Hae: The Unification Church is not my asset, nor America’s asset. It should belong to God. Only then will the world have freedom. Satan surrendered, so centering on True Parents, the completion of three stages is taking place. You have to play the role of the owner of your family.

True Father: This is the time that we as blessed couples should create our own blessings of 36 spiritual children couples, 72 couples, and so forth, and send them out for pioneering, for the sake of the restoration of the fatherland. I appointed thousands of people as peace ambassadors, and I am putting them through education now. That is why they will go through this workshop seminar from Feb 14-19.

Hoon Dok Hae: As filial sons, we should be able to comfort God’s heart. So the test is still in front of us. We desire our love partner to be greater than ourselves. God has been seeking perfected Adam’s family for thousands of years. When we die and stand in front of God, think about the treatment you will receive at that time. I have been walking the course of restoration and liberation of God.

In this Fourth Adam Era, blessed couples have inherited the realm of heaven and earth as a whole. It is Adam’s responsibility to liberate God. Therefore, as a restored Adam we have responsibility to play the role of filial son on the family level, patriot, saint and divine son. Only true parents can liberate God and bring the realm of liberation on a cosmic level.

True Father: True Parents who can embrace four directions, all different types of people, are the ones who can liberate God.

Hoon Dok Hae: Even all things are lamenting, so we have to liberate them. I go to the mountains and oceans for that purpose. We have to cleanse our satanic lineage and rebuild it connected with God, and restart our life. That is our duty. With the heart of parents, we shed tears, sweat and blood for the sake of the land, and God. It is like a journey on a small boat across the Pacific Ocean, but we have God with us. Amen.

Dec 26, 2000, Belvedere: A new millennium is here. Earth, space and heaven are like formation, growth and completion. The victory of True Parents is to have nothing to do with Satan. Until this era, there have been two owners, Satan and God, but in the Fourth Adam Era there is only one owner, True Parents, absolutely united with God. In the past providential eras, we endeavored to save people as individuals and families, but in the Fourth Adam Era we have to work to save all humanity, to be the master of the nation and world, even to the cosmic level. This is the historical transition.

I was supposed to have accomplished this by the age of 40, but it was postponed to the age of 80. To establish the vertical axis, I had to bless the criminals and saints in spirit world. In this transitional time. I gave out my speech books, so you have to do Hoon Dok Hae with them. The purpose of being born as a human being is to take the object position to God. We have to grow up and mature to prepare the banquet with God. Without the fall, we could have inherited everything on the family level. But everything was lost. There was no realm of Sabbath rest for God.

The transitional period is here, not just on the individual level, but overall. When you give birth to children, you have to have faith in them. You have to practice true love life, giving and giving and forgetting. That way we create eternal, God-like value in ourselves and our family. True Parents are on top of the cosmos. We are responsible to restore the entire earth, like Canaan.

True Father: We have to be reborn to live in the Kingdom of God, in the house of Jehovah. If you want to live there, even St. Paul thought he would go to the Kingdom of God, but he found himself in the mid-level spirit world, so he had to go through a conversion experience in the spirit world. That is Dr. Lee’s message. We have to solve the problems on the group level. All the Christian leaders in the spirit world are repenting, and regretting that they cannot attend the True Parents in the flesh. They are waiting for True Parents’ entry into spirit world.

I have to clean up the bottom of hell. Mr. Yoon, are you absolutely confident you will not fall? [Yes!] What if a woman comes to you in your sleep and you fall and then wake up and it is done? Satan can trick you. There were times I put padlocks on my bedroom. Mr. Im, don’t you think your mother desired to be hugged by me when you were young? I could have had pity on her. [Rev. Im: There are different ways of showing pity.] Of course, I didn’t do anything, but if you were in my position, you could have. There were just a few followers, but they were so devoted to be able to offer everything, their wealth, their bodies. But I disciplined myself not to abuse them, physically or spiritually.

Even now we have an immense budget, but I do nothing for my own sake. If there is a celebration, we should be able to share food and everything with everyone, even if it is just a small piece of bread.

This is the second year of Cheon Il Guk, which was declared last year.

[About swimmers riding on the backs of large fish and snakes.] If I decided to drink, I would hook up my mouth to a hose from a beer factory. Smoking and drinking, I have nothing to do with and I don’t know what it is like.

Even if we do 24-hours Hoon Dok Hae, you should be so positive about it that you forget about meals and sleeping.

Blessed families are the fruits of the cosmos.

Hoon Dok Hae: In one generation, we have to build the Kingdom of God. We have to reject the secular world status, Ph.D. or whatever. Once we are connected with True Parents, we take the position of true children. In order to reach that goal, we have to negate everything secular, and reach the level of judgment of heart. Then we will go into the realm of resurrection of heart. There, we inherit everything from God and will be able to bear the perfect fruit and seed. Please, Korean couples should resemble True Parents and True Family. The completion of the providence is done.

Of course, with the help of God, it was possible. We should liberate God. Then Satan cannot accuse us. That is the way we can settle the Kingdom of God on Earth and in heaven.

## Message of Heung Jin Nim from the Spiritual World

By Fami1yfed June 30, 2018 June 30, 2018 Speeches of Rev Sun Myung Moon 2002

January 1, 2002

– This is the message of Heung Jin Nin sent through Hoon Mo Nim on January 1, 2002 on the 35th True God’s Day. It was addressed to True Parents and read to the 7000 members gathered at the God’s Day ceremony. Heung Jin Nim describes the effects in the Spiritual world of True Parents’ declarations and ceremonies. He explains how ancestors are recreated, about the Training Center and their progress in the training there. He also reported in detail how the spiritual world has changed since the Coronation of God’s Kingship. After hearing this report, True Parents’ comment was, “It is so well expressed that it should be regarded as a clear illustration of the spiritual world. This content must be published and heard by all members, who should apply it in their daily life.”

This text is a translation of this message as published in a book produced at Cheong Pyeong Training Center to commemorate the training center’s 500th 2-day workshop and 7th Anniversary.-

True Parents! I am so thankful, because through true love you have opened the Cheon Il Guk nation and the New Age in which we can live together with God and True Parents.

It was on July 8, 2000 that we performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the Original Palace, which Heaven, humanity and all creation have desired. We then went forward towards the goal you set for us, “Let us perfect the realm of Heaven and earth’s liberation as we inherit the heavenly fortune of true love.” From the end of October to the end of December 2001, the Speaking Tour of Unified Nation of Cosmic Peace in Korea, Japan, and USA led to the opening of the Cheon Il Guk. After these momentous events, I have no words to adequately thank you. I am sorry that I have not been able to report the situation in the spiritual world more often.

Most revered and esteemed True Parents! According to your guidance and blessing I have been making a foundation here in the spiritual world as you have been continuously leading the providence on the earth. I have been educating those spirits who were collected at the Cheong Pyeong Training Center and brought up here to my training center in the spiritual world. Here they are educated and cleansed of their sins. They come down to be Blessed on the earth, and afterwards they are educated in the way of true family. This is their foundation to be resurrected on the Earth as they help their descendants to accomplish the Providence according to True Parents’ direction.

The Coronation of God’s Kingship was the fruit of 80 years of True Parents’ victories. This event especially caused amazing changes in the spiritual world. On the basis of True Parents’ hard course of indemnity conditions, God’s lineage is now being restored. The Day of the Coronation of God’s Kingship was indeed a historical day. On that day God and restored spirits wept for joy, as 6000 years of God’s resentment was overcome. Truly, True Parents’ heart of filial piety moved the whole cosmos. We want to take their example into our hearts to become mature children who give joy to our True Parents.

We have done a lot of work here in the spirit world with the love and attention of True Parents. Here I will report in detail on the ancestor liberations, Registration Blessings, and the process of raising spirits to the status of Absolute Good Spirits, as well as the changes that have ensued since the Coronation of God’s Kingship.

Changes in the Spiritual World due to True Parents’ Declarations

True Parents’ greatest wish was to offer the Coronation of God’s Kingship. To accomplish this historical ceremony, True Parents shed tears and sweat and blood throughout the 80 years of their life. True Parents had to make so many conditions before they could hold it, because the barriers in the spiritual world first had to be broken down.

With each victorious foundation, True Parents made a providential declaration in order to advance towards the coming of God’s sovereignty on the earth and the spiritual world. He then had to realize on the earth the content of the declarations through rallies. I want to discuss the meaning of recent declarations and report on the resulting changes in the spiritual world.

When I first arrived here, I encountered many difficulties as I tried to follow the will of True Parents. True Parents sent me here in the position of the Commander In Chief, but the atmosphere was not good for me to work strongly. Among the spirits here, believers in different religions continued to insist on the ways, rituals and doctrines of their own religions as they knew them on earth. Those who had not been religious were likewise set in their ways. None paid any attention to things beyond their limited vision.

God’s intention is that all the religious people in the spiritual world should descend to work with their descendants and followers on earth, and be resurrected centered on True Parents by giving testimonies and bringing about the unity of religions. At that time I did not have the right environment to make this happen. It was so difficult. Especially, there were no Absolute Good Spirits. There was only an evil spiritual world, an environment where evil spirits dominated and people’s fallen natures were so strong that they took no interest in anyone but themselves. In most cases those who took an interest in others only did so because they wanted to get revenge for his or her suffering as a result of what happened to them on the earth.

Furthermore, I was hesitant to act because I did not have a close relationship with Jesus or other religious leaders. The Christian churches were placed in the Abel position because True Parents came on the foundation of the Christianity, to guide them to God’s side. My unity with Jesus was less important than unity between the Unification Church and Christian churches. True Father said that the UnificationChurch and Christian churches could unite on the earth through first establishing unity in the spiritual world. Yet it was not easy to find the central point that could transcend the realms of religion, because each religion had its own rituals and culture. Especially I had difficulty making a relationship with the saints and sages of the different religions.

In order to establish the realm of religious unity, in December 1996 True Parents called the founders of the four great religions and the 12 disciples of Jesus to attend a 40-day workshop at Cheong Pyeong.

Next they went through a 100-day workshop and explored the whole spiritual world. They learned the Divine Principle and came to understand the spiritual world overall. Especially after the Blessing our relationship improved considerably. Through the course of 100 days at the spirit world training center these religious leaders learned who the True Parents are, and this brought us into unity of heart. Finally, after the Blessing of the four great Religious Founders, the world religions are able to unite. Through this process, all the difficulties that I had in the beginning were overcome, so I could start working with confidence as the Commander In Chief of the spiritual world. This was possible only because of the love and blessing of True Parents.

True Parents held the Blessing ceremony for Dae Mo Nim, Dae Hyung Nim and Choong Mo Nim on August 25, 1995. On December 1, 1997 they proclaimed the “Declaration of the Opening of the Right to Give the Blessing in the Spiritual World,” through which Heung Jin Nim and Dae Mo Nim were given the rightful position to conduct Blessings of spirit people. Since then spirits could receive the Blessing with the absolute authority of the spiritual world.

The victory of the 400 Million Couples Blessing resulted in cutting off Satan’s lineage and connecting everyone to True Parents’ lineage. Through this, the victory of True Parents could be connected to the spiritual world.

I give thanks to our True Parents for the “Declaration of the Opening of the Right to Give the Blessing in the Spiritual World,” because through this God is now able to liberate the Heavenly world completely and go anywhere to spread His original heart of love.

On Easter Sunday, April 17, 1998 True Parents gave the “Declaration of the Opening of Elder Brother-ship, Parent-ship and Kingship.” Through this declaration, whatever had not been connected centered on the family could be connected to the victory of the 360 Million Couples Blessing. It was thus proclaimed as “cutting off Satan’s lineage on the worldwide level.”

Now the gate of the Liberated Realm of Blessing is open on the earth and in Heaven. Three nations—representing the father nation, mother nation and elder brother nation—had established an absolute unified foundation centered on True Parents representing the nation of Heaven and Earth and the center of Universe. On that foundation, Blessings of 30,000 couples, 360,000 couples and 3.6 million couples reached the worldwide level. By 1998 the Blessing had reached the cosmic level. This meant that the spirits in the spiritual world and in the physical world could receive the Blessing.

Most notably, in 1999 the declaration, “The Complete Liberation of Satan’s Lineage and Accomplishment of True Blessing on the Cosmic Level” enabled our ancestors in the spiritual world to go the way of liberation and work for the unity of the earth.

The “Liberation of the Cosmos” prayer in the Pantanal, and the “Declaration of Congratulation of Victory in East and West” brought many more changes. Through these we arrived at the time when God could free the spiritual world and physical world and establish the God’s sovereign nation of love to be governed by God. All this was based on the victorious foundation laid by the True Parents after overcoming the false lineage.

Furthermore, the Blessed Couples in the spiritual world could stand in the position of younger brothers and sisters to attend the Blessed Couples on the earth in the position of elder brothers and sisters. This created a new order between the physical world and spiritual world, which had previously been in a relationship of Cain and Abel. It set up a new realm of liberation and a new level—The Victorious Parents’ Realm. Based on this, True Parents could hold the “Ceremony of Declaration to Congratulate True Parents’ Cosmic Level Victory.” Through this a great change came about: the time when Satan could take God’s children by force ended, and the time when the ancestors of Blessed Couples can take their descendants to Kingdom of Heaven by force arrived. We thus entered the Era of the Liberated Realm of Freedom.

Nine minutes and 9 seconds after 9 o’clock on September 9, 1999, True Father being 79 years old, was the moment when the number 9 appeared 9 times. About 5000 members gathered in Su Taek Ri Training Center to hear True Parents make the “Declaration of the Ceremony for the Liberation of the Cosmic Unity of the Parents of Heaven and Earth.” The spiritual world also participated in this grand and beautiful ceremony to participate in True Parents’ victory.

Through that declaration, the age changed from the era under Satan’s dominion to the era of God’s sovereignty. Satan had built foundations on the national, tribal, familial and individual levels, but from that moment on Satan’s foundations were required to take orders from God. The cosmic True Parents restored the number 9 which had been lost, cut off the history of Satan, and declared that the final victorious era had come. At that moment Satan surrendered to God. Satan could no longer cross the boundary into the realm on God’s side. From that moment on, the sovereignty of unified love was established centered on the children in the spiritual world and on earth, vertically and horizontally, and front and back, complete in every direction. Thus the “Realm of Kingship of the Unity of Love” could be declared.

Today this unworthy one whom you elevated to the position of a saint, the family-level saint, thanks you very much. I know you raised me up to save the family by bringing together into unity the Blessed Couples on the earth and in the spiritual world. I know you wish me to save the family. It entails reconnecting what was lost at the time of Jesus on the earth and expanding the ideal of the family to Heaven. You have blessed this Cheong Pyeong Providence, which has established the position of the spiritual parents of Jesus’ time and established the position of the physical and spiritual parents who can officiate at the Blessing. I am grateful that I could assist you in this way. It is entirely the result of your victory, and you deserve all the glory.

That was the historical Nine Nines Day, when the Parents of Heaven and Earth could embrace the whole cosmos from the peak of the summit, based on “Declaration of the Ceremony for the Liberation of the Cosmic Unity of the Parents of Heaven and Earth.” After that you established Three Tens Day.

In the year 2000 much change came in the spiritual world for the building of God’s Homeland. In August True Parents made the “Declaration to Break Down National Borders and Realize True Love.”

True Parents then performed the “Chusok Ceremony for the Liberation of All Resentment” at East Garden, in the presence of True Children and 122 leaders. On that day eight people faced the four directions in pairs, and the sprinkling of Holy Wine made a condition to sanctify the cosmos. They represented the whole Unification movement and all Blessed Couples in the spiritual world. Everything can be governed, now that we are able to go freely east, west, north, south and to the center, as well as vertically to every level. I am grateful for this opening of the way by which we can go forward as filial children of God into the united kingdom of love.

After the Chusok holiday, the “Declaration of the Handing Over of the Right of Blessing” was held in the Heavenly Palace where 4000 Blessed wives had gathered for a 21-day workshop. You bequeathed the rightful position to me to give the Blessing, this unworthy person whom you nevertheless have trusted and to whom you have bequeathed all your victories.

Everything you made victorious in the heavenly world, the liberated realm of God’s ideal of creation, you have bequeathed to this unworthy one. The Blessing of the “Transition of the Three Ages Four-Position Foundation Registration Unification Blessing” could be given on this foundation.

On October 14, 2000 True Parents performed the “Ceremony on the 50th Anniversary of the Release from Heungnam Prison and Ceremony for the Liberation of the Spiritual World.” It was attended by Young Jin Nim, Hye Jin Nim, Hee Jin Nim, the four great Founders of the major religions, philosophers, saints and sages, the 4000 people participating in the fourth 21-day Registration Workshop, and I. True Parents centered on God performed the ceremony, which opened the new shimjung culture of the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth and in Heaven. Now there is a way open for even Satan, the Archangel, to enter the Kingdom of Heaven eventually. At that time you commissioned me to lead the four major religious leaders of the world, conscientious people, and all philosophers to go in the same direction, toward the straight way of Heaven.

This was truly the love of True Parents. True Parents comforted God, even amidst suffering and at the risk of their lives. In order to save all mankind, True Father went to Heungnam Prison. Now True Parents have connected the 50th anniversary of that day to the liberation of cosmos, the liberation of the physical and spiritual worlds. I am so grateful for this blessing and love.

As True Parents performed the Total Liberation Ceremony, the walls in the spiritual world collapsed and the spirits in the spirit world were able to move freely. With this, much change came in the spiritual world.

The way of the spiritual world is quite different from what is commonly thought on the earth. A spirit cannot easily travel from one place to another. If it weren’t for the declarations of True Parents and their constant love, it would be so difficult for me to work here.

The spiritual world is the world of mind. Once you are set in your mind and in your habits, it is not easy to change. Therefore it is very difficult for religious people of different backgrounds to travel to each other’s regions. In the spiritual world thought is reality itself, so differences in thinking are manifest as high walls, or as steep cliffs with wide holes or many falling stones, making it difficult to move from place to place. Therefore, it was so difficult for spirits who lived in some remote region to venture outside their accustomed place.

Knowing this situation, True Parents brought victory by going the course of indemnity to make the foundation to perform the “Total Liberation Ceremony.” Through this ceremony, countless boundaries between different regions were broken down. Of course not all the obstructions disappeared in that instant, and spirits still cannot easily go anywhere they please. At present though it is much easier to go from one place to another where the obstacles had been religious boundaries.

On December 3, 2000, forty days before the Coronation of God’s Kingship, True Parents made the “Declaration of the Elimination of Hell and Registration for the Kingdom of Heaven” in Punta del’Este, Uruguay at a gathering of 66 members. This declaration holds a very important meaning. Hell and Paradise had been the source of God’s sadness, but now they were being liberated. In the dominion of God, the law of love and heart crosses over hills and transcends national boundaries. With their release, the realm of liberation had finally arrived. The time had come for True Parents’ grace to establish God’s Kingship.

On that day, God appointed the ancestors of members to stand alongside the angels and serve as ushers and escorts. Amidst brilliant light and the fragrance of perfume, God himself came down in person to the Main Hall of the Heavenly Palace. Officiating at the ceremony, you crowned God in His original proper position. You could perform this ceremony after going through your lifelong course. You could make the proclamation based on your solemn promise. You performed this ceremony for the sake of God, so that God can come and go freely and connect people to His realm of love. Once more I congratulate you!

True Parents worked hard throughout their whole life to restore God’s dignity and bring God to His rightful position. Their lifelong victorious indemnity conditions and the content of their declarations were focused on this very purpose. God said, “Truly, True Parents’ heart of filial piety is beyond what anyone can describe.” In the spiritual world all this is well known. This unworthy one also wants to be like you, always making God happy. I will make every effort to attend True Parents and let them feel comforted.

The Situation and Changes in the Spiritual World

Dear Beloved True Parents,

I want share this for the sake of the members, that they may understand the changes taking place in the spiritual world and its situation in detail.

If you want to ascend to Heaven, first you have to go through a door between the Middle Level of the spiritual world and Paradise. As you enter you see fog, such as you see when you climb a mountain just before you reach the summit; looking down you see the fog beneath you, and as you descend the fog again gets thicker and thicker. But as you continue upward and approach the Kingdom of Heaven it gets brighter.

In the Kingdom of Heaven you will see green grass everywhere. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming in profusion, and animals are playing happily together. The air is fresh and filled with fragrances like lilac. Bright light shines throughout, more beautiful than diamond and clear as crystal. As you stand there you feel so comfortable and refreshed. A feeling of love and happiness fills you. Unlike in earthy life, in the Kingdom of Heaven these happy feelings are continual.

In the Kingdom of Heaven there is no anxiety or suffering. All the spirits have bright and peaceful expressions; they don’t need to talk as they automatically care for each other. There is no fighting, no jealousy, no hate or arrogance, and no fallen nature. Everyone is filled only with True Love. However, only people who were Blessed through the True Parents can enter this place. Even people on earth who led a good life cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless they have been Blessed.

You cannot go to this place by living in a haphazard way. In order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven you have to live a clean and beautiful life, crystal clear with no blemishes. In order to live here you must have a smile on your face and a light that shines like jewels. Blessed Couples should examine themselves every hour of their life to check whether they are truly becoming citizens of Kingdom of Heaven, by leading an earthly life of which they will not be ashamed in any way.

As you descend from the Kingdom of Heaven, you will encounter many different regions of the spiritual world. Many people on earth think that there are only two different places: Heaven and hell. But in reality there are many regions, from very evil places to very good places. Although there are many different levels, any level other than the Kingdom of Heaven is not at all comfortable because the people fight each other, insisting that they alone are correct about their opinions. Each region is filled with people who are of the same type, so it is not interesting to remain there.

For example, in the region where people who were accustomed to stealing things on earth dwell, they are ever thinking that other people will steal things from them. Amid such distrust of others fighting goes on continually.

When they come here most of the sprits are placed in various regions of hell and the middle realms. Where they are placed is decided by how they lived their lives on the earth. Therefore, if you don’t want to suffer in hell you must not live an unprincipled life, but go the way of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. God is only goodness and love. Unless we make effort to resemble God, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

If you descend further into the lower regions, you come to regions of hell where you cannot breathe. It is dark and scary, and it has a terrible smell, worse than the smell of rotten meat or fish. Deformed figures appear in front of you, biting each other, yelling and screaming at each other. Some regions are filled with burning holes, and in them are people who are forever angry at each other. The worst regions are reserved for those who were sexually corrupt or who committed suicide. It is difficult to look at the many ugly figures there slithering all about like snakes. People living on the earth don’t recognize how frightening it is in these areas. If you could see it, you would not be able to remain there even for a minute. Fortunately, all Blessed Couples have had their Original Sin forgiven and have the chance to cleanse their ancestors’ sins, collective sins, personal sins and fallen nature. Yet Blessed Couples don’t recognize how precious and valuable is the grace that they possess.

As the Divine Principle teaches us, no one forces people to go to a particular region of the spiritual world, but people find their own place by their own will according to the spiritual level they attained on the earth. If only we could make people understand this, they would know how to live in the future.

The colors of the different regions of the spiritual world differ one from another, from the Kingdom of Heaven to hell. The Kingdom of Heaven is extremely bright and white, clean like flawless white jade. But as we descend the colors become darker and darker and dirtier. Descending from the Kingdom of Heaven the color turns beige, then darker shades of purple. Descending to still lower regions the color becomes light brown, then gray, dark gray, black and pitch black. The more sins committed, the darker the color. Also, spirits who committed many sins with a certain part of their body show dirtier and darker colors on that part. After receiving the Blessing, people can get rid of their fallen nature and live in the Kingdom of Heaven. The more True Love, the closer they can get to the Kingdom of Heaven. But the more fallen nature the darker their spirit self becomes, and they go to a dark place.

It is so important after we receive the Blessing to remove evil, resentful spirits and to remove our fallen nature, because this will decide our environment after we go to the spiritual world. People may enjoy their wealth, power and good position, but the situation in the spiritual world is so different. The more money a person had on earth or the higher the position that they misused, the greater their troubles are in the spiritual world.

In the Divine Principle it reads, “Sin is a violation of heavenly law which is committed when a person forms a common base with Satan, thus setting a condition for give-and-take action with him.” Most people think of sin only as personal sin, but there is Original Sin, ancestral sin, collective sin as well as personal sin. We are burdened with sins inherited from our ancestors even though we personally did not commit them, and we are also responsible for collective sins that were committed collectively.

In one word, being a fallen person means being the result of 6000 years of fallen human history—a mixture of good and evil. People inherit good and evil character from their ancestors, but living in the world where there is more evil than good, evil is continuously repeated. When we say that there are many evil spirits in the bodies of people on the earth, it is the result of personal sins and ancestral sins passed down through the lineage. For every sin there is always a cause, because it is the result of a condition to have give-and-take action with Satan. Thus, there is story behind every sin, and someone was its cause. Maybe an ancestor of the person, while living on the earth gave much difficulty and pain to someone, and that person came to have resentment. Now this resentful spirit has come down to the descendant of that ancestor to get revenge by trying to influence him to commit sin. Such a cause might also show as sickness or pain.

All modern diseases have spiritual causes that are connected to the sins of ancestors. By looking at the sicknesses and difficulties of descendants, we can infer about the life of their ancestors. If the ancestors had stolen things from the others or misused public things or money, their descendants often suffer from stomach problems. If they had many sexual transgressions, their descendants may suffer from diseases of the sex organs, or be unable to bear children, have problems being faithful, or get divorced after marriage. Ancestors who did not see things about others correctly and hurt them will cause their descendants to have children who are born blind, mute or deaf. In other words, according to the way pain was given, the descendants suffer with the same kind of troubles. The heavier the ancestors’ sins, the more difficult it is to heal the resulting sickness; it may not even be curable.

If people on the earth do not clear up these sins through paying the required indemnity, the suffering is passed down to their children. Later, when those people come to the spiritual world and watch their children suffer they regret that they did not clear things up for them. They lament, “If only I had borne my suffering on earth, my children would not need to suffer now.”

Therefore, unless people clear up all the sins passed down from their ancestors, as well as the personal sins they committed themselves, they cannot escape from sickness and pain. The sins are so great and so many that they cause countless evil spirits to infest the bodies of people on the earth. There are multitudes of them, each the size of an ant’s egg. In reality spirits can control their size freely. These evil spirits make themselves tiny in order to infest people’s bodies in large numbers.

When you look at a spirit it may appear as it was as a human being, or as it was at the time of death. Sometimes a spirit appears as an animal or as an insect according to how he or she lived on the earth. A person who had a hot temper might have the appearance of a tiger. A person who delighted in tricking others might look like fox, and a person who was sexually promiscuous might look like a snake.

Dear most precious True Parents! My training center is located right next to the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Kingdom of Heaven is not yet open, as it will be opened only after True Parents arrive here. All of us will enter on that day. I am glad that we have this training center, because we need it in order to restore all people in the spirit world. I can never thank you enough for providing it. Now we are able to create Absolute Good Spirits. This means we have now created a realm where Satan cannot invade. As the number of Absolute Good Spirits increases, the territory of God and True Parents increases. Satan’s evil work is diminished, and the hope of establishing the Kingdom of Heaven opens up on the earth.

Looking at our progress in liberating evil spirits, some may question whether it would be easier if we would restore all the evil spirits on the earth at once. But that is not the Principle way. God cannot intervene in the choices of fallen human beings, who fell into the midway position. God cannot intervene with His power, and Satan cannot intervene either. Each person alone decides whose side he or she is on by the conditions he or she makes and who is in the rightful position to intervene. Only when a person makes a condition for God, can God intervene in that person’s life. Therefore, in order to remove evil spirits we need to make indemnity conditions by understanding our sins and the sins of our ancestors. Otherwise the separation or liberation of evil spirits is very difficult. The same principle applies in Blessing our ancestors. We need to make conditions so that our ancestors can be liberated and sent to the training center in the spiritual world, where they become the Absolute Good Spirits who will be the foundation for God to come down on earth.

As of this time, True Parents have achieved the cosmic level of victory. They have liberated the spiritual world and have broken down the boundaries between religions in the spiritual world. True Parents have created the environment to establish the Kingdom of Heaven and to break down national boundaries.

On this basis, evil spirits are being restored to become Absolute Good Spirits. Especially, all the declarations that True Parents proclaimed from 1990 up to the Coronation of God’s Kingship made the victorious foundation to restore Absolute Good Spirits and send them to the earth. This work would be impossible unless the Messiah, the eternal True Parent, does it.

In recent years the spiritual world has changed for the worse. Since 1980 evil spirits greatly increased their power to work on the earth and this made their work much more effective. The reason for this was that the central figures of the Providence did not know the identity of Satan, the root of sin, or the nature of Original Sin. Satan, therefore, had no anxieties about creating his self-centered world. However, after the True Parents came into the world the situation started changing. After revealing the root of sin and the Original Sin more clearly than God had ever revealed it before, True Parents began making conditions so that Satan would not be able to settle on the earth. As he achieved victory after victory in Providence of Restoration, Satan began to get nervous. Consequently, Satan mobilized the evil spirits in the spiritual world to work with the evil spirits in the bodies of people on the earth by stimulating their resentment and their desire to take revenge on the descendants of the people who caused them pain. In particular, Satan watched closely for opportunities to invade Blessed Couples. Whenever he found any conditions to do so, he put evil spirits into Blessed Couples’ bodies. As a result, Blessed Couples were not living centered on God.

God expected that Blessed Couples would make unity of heart with God and True Parents by living with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Satan cannot invade such Blessed Couples. But when the Blessed Couples acted in unprincipled ways they made conditions for Satan to invade them. In fact, most Blessed Couples expected that the victory of True Parents would protect them; they didn’t look deeply at themselves to check whether they had anything for which Satan could accuse them. They didn’t reflect on whether any fallen nature remained in them. Therefore, at least from now on we must work hard to purify ourselves from evil and sin and be reborn as original, true children.

Blessed Couples must know that they have many, many evil resentful spirits within them. Blessed Couples should know how to separate these evil spirits and be cleansed of sins. They must work hard to clean this up while they are on the earth. Do Blessed Couples doubt it when I say that they have many evil spirits in them? The proof is that they still commit so many evil actions and retain so much fallen nature.

From this point of view, liberating our ancestors is the way to straighten out all the complicated matters passed down through the linage and to restore the original linage. All the sins committed by ancestors are passed down to their descendants; therefore members are pushed to commit sins in spite of themselves. By clearing up the invisible world True Parents’ saving hands are reaching down to us. Their desire is that members will no longer be tempted by Satan and can live according to the original way.

As time passes by, people will see the difference in the members’ lives between those who have invested to liberate evil spirits and those who have not. The more evil spirits there are in a person, the more difficulties that person will have to face. The fewer evil spirits he or she has, the more comfortable and happy his or her life will be.

Therefore, each of us must reach the absolute standard, which is in accord with the ideal standard of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let’s overcome our fallen nature and go the way of true children, the way acceptable to God. This is most important.

Therefore, you members must not take this matter lightly and just be bystanders. You must take it seriously and by all means remove the evil spirits from your bodies. Participate with the determination to uproot all the evil and all your fallen nature. Just as evil spirits can change to become Absolute Good Spirits, so also you on the earth must heed the voice of your conscience and original mind and pursue the way of perfection, that you may resemble God.

Through the Coronation of God’s Kingship, the Transition of Three Ages Four-Position Foundation Registration Unification Blessing, the liberation of ancestors and the Blessing of ancestors, the time has now come to open and enlarge the history of goodness.

Now is the time when all the people on the earth can be cleansed of their fallen nature and be reborn into the state before the Fall. Now, when the spiritual and physical worlds are changing and developing at the same time, all must go out and witness to True Parents and teach the Divine Principle, in order that all people on the earth may go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

In order for all mankind to be Blessed and enter the Kingdom of Heaven, the numbers of Absolute Good Spirits must be increased. It is important that members take this responsibility to further the progress of the Providence of Restoration.

No evil spirit can invade an Absolute Good Spirit. Evil spirits cannot bear to look at the bright light shining from an Absolute Good Spirit. But Absolute Good Spirits can see evil spirits and are able to drag them out of earthly people’s bodies. Now, as Absolute Good Spirits are descending to the earth, evil spirits are losing their ground upon which to be active. Evil spirits have misled good people whose spiritual senses are partially open by coming to them in the disguise of a good spirit and leading them astray. To prevent members from being misled the evil spirits who are cleared from their bodies are made into Absolute Good Spirits. No one can be misled once all five spiritual senses are completely open, but this will be possible only after the evil spirits are cleared out completely and the person is united with the heart of God and True Parents. For this reason all members must work hard to become spiritually clean and unite with God and True Parents’ realm of heart. This is the way we will prevent the divisions that plague Christians, who, although they believe in the same Jesus, divided into denominations and became enemies.

In order to build one family under God with our True Parents members must clear up this potential problem so that no one will come pretending to be this or that.

True Parents are on the earth, but they are in the spiritual world as well. When you go to the Kingdom of Heaven you can see True Parents sitting beside the throne of God. This is how all the spirits could accept True Parents as the Messiah. Only the people dwelling on the earth don’t know this well because they see True Parents strictly from a humanistic standpoint.

When the participants in Heung Jin Nim’s training go and visit True Parents in the spiritual world they get to meet the smiling, loving True Parents. True Parents are eternal beings who can travel freely between the earth and Heaven. Only on the earth are people still ignorant of the value of True Parents; this makes me truly so sad. I am so happy and grateful to live with the eternal True Parents. On earth members trapped in their busy daily schedules may sometimes forget about True Parents. Here, no matter what, they cannot forget the eternal value of True Parents.

Ancestor Liberation Ceremony and the Spirit World Workshop

After you register for the ancestor liberation ceremony, Dae Mo Nim looks through the list of ancestors and mobilizes angels and Absolute Good Spirits to seek them out in the spirit world. Sometimes the spirits are found dwelling in the physical bodies of people on the earth, sometimes they are simply staying somewhere in the spirit world, and sometimes they are found wandering about the earth as ghosts. Searching for them is like looking at a distant place through a telescope. When we track down ancestors through a person’s lineage it is like checking the person’s genes.

A few years ago we would call the spirits over here to liberate their resentments. However, because the evil spirit world is becoming stronger and stronger we now must go and grab hold of them and directly bring them to Cheong Pyeong to make sure we have accurately found the right ancestors.

During the ancestor liberation ceremony the ancestors first wait to meet with their descendants on the earth. Then a shaft of light shines down on them from Heaven and they ascend to the spirit world, guided up that beam of light by angels. Then the evil spirits who were separated during the 2-day workshop and the ancestors liberated through the ceremony go together to the place in the spirit world where they will attend the training.

They approach the training center through the gate of the spirit world located between the Middle-Level Spirit World and Paradise. They enter the training center and then register for the 100-day workshop.

After my words of greeting they receive an explanation about the significance of the 100-day workshop and its schedule. In the first lectures I explain to them concretely what each of them looks like and why, and then I let them see their spirit selves. These spirits never had the chance or the interest to observe their appearance closely. They never lived in an environment where they could see themselves with their own eyes. In the workshop they are shocked to see what they look like. Some cry out when they discover how strange they look. What they see when they look at their own body is their actual life on earth. Also, they learn clearly where in the spirit world they will go for their dwelling-place.

After I let the ancestors see themselves in this way I take them on a tour of the whole spirit world, from Heaven to the bottom of hell. Next, I let them find their rightful dwelling-places as determined by their spiritual state.

As they travel downward towards the lower regions of the spirit world closer to hell, the landscape becomes rougher, with high walls and ditches. Because the surroundings are dark, the spirits have a hard time finding their rightful dwellings even though they might in fact be close by.

In fact, most of the ancestors never had a chance to reach their proper dwelling-places in the spirit world after they left the earth. Often an evil spirit captured them as soon as they died. Hence, for many of them it was their first time to actually visit their due home in the spirit world.

Next, I let them feel how painful it is to stay in their dwellings. I leave them alone there until they see that there is no way they could continue living in such a place. I wait until they repent and make a heartfelt pledge after realizing for themselves how wayward their lives on earth were. Then I call them again to the spirit world workshop.

After this process I gather them together and give them serious Divine Principle lectures. These lectures are different from those on the earth. The participants can actually see the scenes played out and know the real situations as they happened. Hence, the participants can understand more deeply than people on earth who hear the lectures.

The first lectures are “The Principle of Creation” and “The Fall of Humankind,” which I teach. I tell them, “When God was creating human beings and the natural world He worked full of hope and joy. God created the natural world so that He could enjoy watching His children rejoicing as they took loving dominion over nature. God created each creature in the Garden of Eden with His children in mind.” As I lecture on the process of creation a screen on the side of the stage shows actual scenes from God’s creation of Heaven and earth. Through watching these images the participants can understand in depth how much love God invested as He created human beings and all of nature. When I ask the participants after the presentation if they had felt God’s heart of creation, they all reply, “Yes.” When I then remark that they had no idea about God’s loving heart in their earthly life, and pronounce that their life of ignorance was itself a great sin, they all nod and begin deep prayers of repentance.

As I continue with the lecture on the Fall of Humankind moving images of the actual fall are displayed on the screen beside the stage. The participants first see how Lucifer in his excessive desire felt more and more lack of love, how Lucifer led Eve to fall, and how Eve tempted Adam. They observe the spirit world and the earth becoming darker and darker after the fall of Adam and Eve, and how the sinful world came into being.

The participants then watch how, after the fall of Adam and Eve, their descendants inherited the fallen nature of Satan and committed sins. They see that as the lineage expanded its nature grew more and more evil. They witness the evil lineage from the false parents being passed down, as the sins of their ancestors were passed down, and then see how this caused the descendants to add still more sins of their own. The participants can see the entire process: sins flowing down and they themselves inheriting the accumulated mass of sin. They confirm their own evil nature and understand that they are the substantiation of evil. Thereupon they break into tears and start cleansing their sins, making effort to remove sin from every part of their body until their spirit self shines with light.

The lecture goes on to explain how the world deviated from God and how hell came into being. As the participants learn the process by which hell was formed they reflect upon their life on earth. After they listen to the Principle of Creation and the Fall of Humankind they can recollect 80 percent of their memories of life on earth through their reflections. If the lecturer can create the right atmosphere, they can recall 100 percent. In those memories they also see how their sins and fallen natures were passed down to their own offspring. As they comprehend that they have caused their descendants to suffer with pain in the sinful world they begin to weep in bitter repentance.

After the participants wash away their sins through the lecture series, I let them go out to find the dwelling-places that would be fitting to their new spiritual state. They discover that their new homes are quite different from the ones they had occupied before. They recognize that they are getting closer to Heaven and gain new hope that they, too, can become Spirits of Absolute Goodness who can enter Heaven.

Next, they listen to a lecture titled “Good and Evil,” which is presented by President Kee Seuk Lee. This lecture clarifies the meaning of “absolute goodness” and the meaning of evil. In it the participants learn how evil became stronger with the passage of time. They learn that from the Principle perspective there was not a trace of evil in the world of God’s original creation. Evil emerged only after the fall of Adam and Eve. Therefore, evil itself cannot be absolute. Ultimately the world can only end in absolute goodness. Nevertheless, evil emerged after the fall of Adam and Eve and grew greater and greater with time as evil nature and sin were passed down to generation after generation of their descendants. They see how the power of evil became greater than the power of goodness. Then they learn how the situation changed after the True Parents were born on the earth as the Second Coming of the Messiah. True Parents have prepared a foundation of victory and a heavenly environment that can move both earth and the spirit world centered on God’s absolute goodness.

During this series of lectures the screen on side of the stage shows the world of goodness and the world of evil, as well as how sins are passed down from ancestors to descendants. When the participants see such scenes they reflect on how they passed on sin and suffering to their own descendants, and they repent. They realize that there is no way for them to enter Heaven unless they first change themselves into Spirits of Absolute Goodness. They recognize that as long as they have even a spot of sin they will never be able to stand before God. Therefore, once again they try hard to find their sins and cleanse themselves. After this I again let them go and find their proper dwellings. After seeing that they have ascended to better places they work even harder to cleanse their sins, separate evil spirits, and remove their fallen nature, so that they may become Spirits of Absolute Goodness. They begin to offer their deepest gratitude to God and True Parents for giving them such grace.

Next come the series of lectures on the Principle of Restoration taught by President Hyo Won Eu. These are lectures on the Providence of Restoration centering on Adam’s family, Noah’s family, Abraham’s family, and Moses and Jesus’ life courses. Here participants can understand deeply how the central figures of the Providence of Restoration failed to fulfill their responsibilities and thus extended the Providence. These events are again shown as actual scenes on the side screen. The participants reflect back on their own lives to see whether they committed similar mistakes and failures. This is another occasion for them to reflect and repent as they work to cleanse their sins.

As the workshop progresses and more sins are cleansed the participants gain greater hope to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, they invest more effort to participate in the workshop. The spirits offer glory and thanksgiving to True Parents for revealing to them such a tremendous truth.

Then follows a lecture on “True Parents’ Life Course,” taught by President Cheong Goo (Tiger) Park. He explains that True Parents came to earth but had to experience pain and loneliness due to the betrayal by Christianity. He describes to the participants that even after True Father was sent to the Heungnam death camp, he continually comforted God, offered thanks for the blessings that God would give him after his imprisonment, expressed his determination to move forward despite any difficulties and persecution, and asked God to forgive his persecutors. President Park goes on to explain how True Father set each condition of indemnity and exposed the facts about Satan, how he discovered the Principle, and how he searched for his disciples to build God’s nation on earth. He also goes into depth on True Father’s sermons, his Holy Wedding, and several providential events in the present Completed Testament Age. All this is displayed as images on the side screen.

Through these presentations, the participants learn to offer thanks for God’s deep grace and love in sending True Parents on the earth to build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. They also repent for being so ignorant about this aspect of God’s heart.

Further Divine Principle lectures on “Eschatology and Human History,” “Resurrection,” “Predestination,” and “Christology” are taught by those who were Divine Principle lecturers or church leaders during their earthly life. They received special training to be the lecturers in my workshop.

All participants go through these Divine Principle lectures and watch the moving images on the screen. They see and understand the actual events and situations in history. They take this opportunity to reflect on their sinfulness and wash away their sins with repentance. As they strive to reach the standard of absolute goodness they confirm how much they have changed. They go through this curriculum over and over, each time gaining more hope to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This curriculum is indeed extremely effective and good for the spirit people.

After completing a period of 100 days in the workshop at the training center in the spirit world the spirits come back down to the Cheong Pyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center to receive the Blessing. They arrive there having removed all their sins except the Original Sin. Their Original Sin is removed through the Holy Wine Ceremony at the Blessing Ceremony, and when this is done they become Spirits of Absolute Goodness. They have gone through the ancestor liberation ceremony, education in the spirit world workshop and the Blessing to become Spirits of Absolute Goodness. This means that they are restored into the lineage of God and True Parents.

Spirits of Absolute Goodness do not have even a spot of sin. Therefore, Satan and evil spirits cannot approach them; much less tempt them back to their realm under Satan’s rule. The appearance of these Absolute Good Spirits is truly bright and beautiful. Their fragrance is deep and lovely. Such spirits can attend True Parents, and when True Parents open the heavenly gates they will enter Kingdom of Heaventogether with True Parents.

After these Spirits of Absolute Goodness receive the Blessing on the earth they return to the training center in the spirit world to go through a 40-day True Family Education Workshop. This time Mr. Ho Cheol Shin gives the lectures.

The True Family Education Workshop is the time when the participating spirits learn about the great value of the Blessing they have received from True Parents and how to lead a life of attendance to God and True Parents. They are informed about their descendants on earth—what kind of life they live, their problems and sufferings. They are given the opportunity to study the situations and sins of their descendants in detail. They receive practical education on the natures of the evil spirits who infest the bodies of their descendants and what they should do to take control of these evil spirits. As they learn their descendants’ situations they become more serious, because those descendants who liberated them and gave them the chance to receive the Blessing still suffer from the influences of evil spirits. They become anxious that something terrible might happen to them.

During the True Family Education Workshop the ancestors also learn about the difficult and suffering course that True Parents went through to indemnify the sins of humanity. They learn the importance of fulfilling their responsibilities in accordance with the timing of True Parents’ providence. They also receive education about the actual responsibilities of Spirits of Absolute Goodness in connection with the missions of Tongban Kyukpa (Grassroots Breakthrough) and Tribal Messiahship, and for the safe settlement of the Cheon Il Guk. They learn how to wash away the sins of their descendants and change the world to build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

These Absolute Good Spirits then return to the earth to help their descendants break free from the dominion of evil spirits over their minds and bodies, and to make their earthly life into that of an ideal family living in accordance with heavenly fortune and the will of God. They guide their descendants to contribute to God, to the whole Unification Family, and to humanity. They also help them to establish God and True Parents’ tradition of the Four Great Realms of Heart and the Three Great Kingships centered upon the ideal of creation and the will of God. This tradition fosters true families that are based upon the eternal true love of husband and wife, and such families in turn become the foundation for building the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in Heaven.

Absolute Good Spirits work together with the angels to help Blessed Families separate from evil spirits, so that they may break free of the suffering due to the dominion of evil spirits. When they return to their descendants they realize that what they learned about their descendants’ lives at the training center was true. They become serious to help their descendants rid themselves of sin and fallen nature. They worry that their descendants might commit a serious mistake during this time when Satan and his evil spirits are doing their last evil works. Therefore, they offer their utmost effort to help their descendants.

The ancestors are very sincere about fulfilling their responsibility to cleanse their descendants’ sins, which, as they learned during the workshop in the spiritual world, were passed down from ancestors like themselves. They sincerely want to help their descendants to overcome their problems. Although they don’t have a body, they want to work with their descendants as if they were their body. They want to enable them to live according to the way of citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, and through this to build the Kingdom of Heaven.

In this New Age that is being opened through the grace and love of True Parents all Blessed Couples must unite with True Parents by living the way of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience.

Changes Since the Coronation of God’s Kingship

True Parents have demonstrated to us their heart of filial piety through offering the Coronation of God’s Kingship based upon their hard lifelong course of indemnity conditions. After Adam and Eve’s fall Satan raised so many barriers to make the world completely his own. No one could surmount them. Only True Parents made the indemnity conditions that could conquer them. Through their declarations and rallies all the barriers were released. Knowing the heart of God and knowing the misery of life in this sinful world, True Parents worked extremely hard to restore this evil world and establish the environment of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Up until now evil was stronger than goodness. Therefore, strong and evil people were more prosperous. But now, in these times after the God’s Coronation, the side of absolute good will be the wining side because the Spirits of Absolute Goodness are working on the earth. Hence, from now on, if you live centered on the standard of absolute goodness, the way of the Divine Principle, you will prosper. God Himself will work on behalf of His children who have separated themselves from their sins, and He is determined to free them from sickness and misery.

Up until now the earth spiritually looked completely dark because of the sins that covered it. But ever since the Coronation of God’s Kingship God has been free to go down to the earth. Traveling back and forth between earth and Heaven, God works in person to illuminate both worlds.

Since the fall of Adam and Eve the children created by God have suffered, unable to connect to God. Because of their sins walls have been blocking all the different levels of the spiritual world. Now, because of True Parents’ authority, and based upon their victories step by step, these walls have been broken down. As a result the original minds of people in the spiritual world and the physical world can have a base to respond to God’s heart. Their response is to repent of their personal sins and cleanse themselves of evil. Thus, the meaning of the Coronation of God’s Kingship is that now God’s light of love is reaching out to the whole cosmos.

True Parents said, “Everyone must go toward the era of heavenly blessing upon the accomplishment of God’s Coronation, the Registration Blessing, and the settlement of the unified Blessing in Heaven and earth centered on the relationship of brothers and as the family of unchanging filial children.” Therefore, now is the time of worldwide brotherhood. Going beyond national boundaries, everyone must become brothers to one another. Therefore, the Blessed Central Families must protect the nation of God, the family of God and the kingship of God. We must be resolved to settle the Cheon Il Guk nation on the earth.

All this will be accomplished. I am organizing all the saints and sages centered on the One Religion in Heaven and earth. Together they go the same direction centered on the teaching of True Parents based on the ideal of the family of God.

Since the Coronation Ceremony God can use His almighty, omnipresent, and omnipotent power. All the world’s organizations will come under the power of God. Satan’s world is surrendering before God’s omnipotent, almighty, and omnipresent power.

In the spiritual world there are no more clear demarcations of nationality or religion. No one can speak anymore of their religion or their sovereignty, as all is coming under God’s ideal. The satanic world is submitting to True Parents since only the True Parents, who are in the absolute object position to God, can have the authority of God. Those authorities or sovereignties that do not submit to God and True Parents will decline or collapse.

Now the time of indemnity is passing. The time is coming when the authority of God’s law will govern. From now on, there is no latitude to overlook your transgressions. The time is coming when you will be judged immediately. In order to become the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, you must keep a pure lineage, not violate human rights, and never steal other people’s things or take public money. Your way of life must only be to live with true love.

To become the good object partners of God and True Parents we must remove all the evil spirits from our bodies. Then we can be reborn as absolutely good people who can attend True Parents as their absolute object partners. To transform this evil world into the world of original goodness, God Himself must be able to directly manifest His almighty power. Now that the True Parents have offered the Coronation of God’s Kingship, God can reveal Himself to humanity. God has waited so long for this time. At such a time as this we must understand that God is alive and working, and live our life in such a way that God’s almighty power can move in us. We must make effort to build the happy and peaceful Cheon Il Guk nation through living with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience.

Honorable and precious True Parents, I am truly grateful to you for establishing order among the spirits and creating Absolute Good Spirits. You created the absolute good lineage. As you have allowed Cheon Il Guk national citizenship cards to be issued to the members on the earth, please allow the Blessed Couples in the spiritual world who are Absolute Good Spirits to also receive them.

Everything accomplished up until now has been done only because of the blessings given by True Parents. I was so moved when I saw how True Parents comforted God by conducting the Ceremony of the Coronation of God’s Kingship. We also want to do our best to love both the spiritual and physical worlds and show True Parents’ heart of filial piety toward God. As I become more and more deeply aware that we are the fruit of True Parents’ blood, sweat and tears, I know what attitude I should have to go this way.

I will make more effort to expand the Kingdom of Heaven to the worldwide level. After clearing up the evil spirits in the spiritual world based on the victory of the True Parents, I, with the Absolute Good Spirits in the spiritual world and on the earth will take responsibility to establish the Cheon Il Guk nation. I will build the Original Palace of the True Parents, and then I will offer the Coronation of True Parents’ Kingship and liberate the True Parents. I will work hard so they may rest comfortably after having gone through such a difficult indemnity course. I will do my best together with all the Blessed Couples in the spiritual world and on the earth to fulfill this.

Together with Young Jin, Hee Jin and Hye Jin; and Dae Mo Nim, Choon Mo Nim and Dae Hyung Nim, my direct relatives in the spiritual world; the four great religious founders, saints and sages, and all absolute Blessed Couples, we will work hard together and fulfill our responsibility.

True Parents, please trust us, rest comfortably, and take care of your health.
