True Mother Gives Guidance to Members in Las Vegas on Sept. 4, 2013

The following notes were taken by Dr. Michael Jenkins and are a summary translation only and should never be published as an official publication of True Mother’s words. However they do provide a good idea of the “spirit” of her message.

How many of you were able to attend the 1st Anniversary of True Father’s Seonghwa in Korea? Did you know there is a wonderful summary video of the 1st Anniversary already prepared? I’d like everyone to see it. When prominent people from around the world and Korea saw the Seonghwa program they were deeply moved and came to a much deeper understanding of True Parents and the accomplishments True Father made during his lifetime. If you share this video with new people, I think they can also be inspired and change.

I’d like to share a few thoughts with you today.

Firstly, I want to remind you how important it is to live in a way mindful of the reality of the spirit world. We should recall Father’s warning that if we on earth don’t take responsibility to liberate and bless our ancestors, as Father instructed us, they will still be trapped in the darkness and not be free. Also, we will not have the same benefit of spiritual protection because they can’t support us without the liberation and blessing.

Many difficulties that we have on earth, many spiritual attacks and physical problems, disease, accidents or other traumas or challenges such as divisions between families can be stopped and we can be protected by the intervention of our good ancestors after they have been liberated and blessed. When they are liberated and blessed then these 210 generations become the brightest light in heaven, and that light is expanding rapidly. We have many problems because we didn’t fulfill our responsibility to liberate and bless our 210 generations of our ancestors.

We are in such a blessed position. If we fulfill our responsibility, so many things will change. The physical world and spirit world can be transformed very rapidly if we understand how to fulfill our portion of responsibility.

You may have heard that last week Dr. Peter Kim and Dr. Dong Moon Joo were acquitted by the Korean Supreme Court. Commenting on this good result, one former Judge told some of our leaders, that “You must really thank God and True Mother for this victory. Due to the 1st anniversary program in memory of the Seonghwa of Father Moon the atmosphere in Korea  has changed. True Mother has brought a victory through the successful anniversary observances, and it is changing people’s understanding.”¶  

During the week of the anniversary observances, many articles were written throughout Korea about True Father’s life and accomplishments. Not one article was negative and they showed the good work of True Parents. Everything was positive and decision makers and prominent people from every corner of Korean society   were interested. Many of the top people who have been supporting and working with True Parents for a long time really deepened their understanding the of victory that True Parents achieved in bringing the family and the Korean nation and the world toward peace and closer to God.

I know that Cham Abonim, True Father, is working so powerfully in heaven so that he and True Mother could initiate this great turning point together. This inspired and uplifted the whole Korea nation and many high ranking and influential people have come to better understand the facts about our True Parents.

There have been other social changes as well. Recently one member of the Korean Parliament was found to have close ties to the North and has now been charged with plotting a revolt or rebellion in South Korea in favor of the North. He was continually promoting a very far left and even pro-communist viewpoint, influencing Korean society in a harmful way with his alarmist proclamations of impending war between North and South Korea.

One thing from this affair did become very clear – that the North has something beyond weapons; it has a strong internal education to make the people committed to North Korea. In contrast, the South has a very weak internal education to encourage patriotism. However, through the various events surrounding the Seonghwa people could learn that True Father has been working on the peaceful reunification of North and South Korea for several decades. Not only that, he continually initiated programs to support peace in every part of the world, and those programs continue and are growing. The Bering Strait Peace King Bridge and Tunnel were conceived to help foster good relations between Russia and America, and to facilitate peace between North and South Korea.

The key thing for all of us to remember is that we must fulfill our portion of responsibility as tribal messiahs. This will change the atmosphere in our communities by 180 degrees. This is the way to build a victorious foundation. In Japan 3,000 members have joined a national witnessing effort. In Korea there’s a huge campaign for witnessing. How about the United States? (Yes.) Just saying yes is not enough; we must have a substantial foundation.

In front of True Parents all humankind is one family. There are no barriers or boundaries in True Parents’ mind and heart toward any of the peoples living on earth. America’s responsibility as elder son is very important in front of all humanity, to bring them all to True Parents. But how well have we in America carried our responsibility as the elder son? We were raised by True Parents and True Parents invested in our nation as the elder son. Therefore, we must have the heart and attitude that on behalf of True Parents we have to take care of brothers and sisters all over the world. We should practice True Parents’ way with this kind of spirit. We should establish this kind of foundation. For example, recently True Mother met all the tribal messiahs who witnessed to 12 people or more in 40 days. One family member had witnessed to 80 people, another to 120 in just 40 days. Do we have that kind of spirit in America?

True Father’s Seonghwa Anniversary has brought about a transformation in Korea and is creating a new spirit throughout our worldwide community. A group of youth from Japan organized and did a very special bicycling condition. They rode for 20 days from the northernmost part of Japan to the southern tip of Japan, and then went to Korea and rode their bicycles all the way to Pusan and then up to the 38th parallel at Imjingak, enduring through a heat wave

This is a great offering in the heart and spirit of True Parents, with the ideal of bringing North and South Korea closer together as one. On arrival at the 38th parallel they proclaimed that peaceful unification between north and south will come through True Parents. Hyo Jin Nim’s son and others joined with them near the finish line and symbolically completed the course together.

I’m very sure that the spirit world is watching all of us all the time. Before I left Korea, Hyo Jin appeared to me saying, “True Mother, I am with True Father now. True Father and I are coming with you, Mother, to America to support you, so don’t be lonely!”

We all understand God’s ideal of creation, and how, because of the loss of Adam and Eve due to the Fall, Heavenly Parent has been in the loneliest position in the universe. The Fall means that the blood lineage was transformed. All humanity has been under this condition of the false blood lineage. We cannot move forward as human beings toward Heavenly Parent and True Parents without changing the blood lineage. With satanic blood lineage, we can never become one with Heavenly Parent.

We must make a certain condition to overcome this situation. Yet, fallen humanity doesn’t know how to overcome the satanic blood lineage and the fact that Satan has a claim on us. Reflect a moment about the Israelites and their history. Here were the chosen people who had produced many saints and sages throughout 4,000 years of history, but they missed the most important and critical moment that they had been prepared for. The prepared and chosen nation missed Jesus.

Now we are once again are meeting the messiah. Two thousand years ago God sent his only begotten son. If Israel had united, a nation for God would have been created that would have become the foundation to win over Rome and then go to the world. If the people could have united as one centering on Jesus, God’s nation would have been established and the foundation would have been created for the kingdom of heaven, Cheon Il Guk, to spread throughout the world.

But Rome and Israel missed their appointed hour. What is the outcome of missing their historic opportunity? Because of their disbelief they couldn’t fulfill the providential will of heaven for Israel and for Jesus. Think how much they have suffered since that time!

In the Divine Principle the most important aspect of education is the teaching of indemnity. Understanding the meaning and value of an indemnity condition is very important for us to fulfill our responsibility. Because of the Fall of Adam and Eve, we now have a world under Satan’s dominion. There are 7 billion people on earth who are in great agony and suffering. But God’s agony, suffering and struggle are the greatest of all because he is surrounded by the agony and suffering of the 7 billion children he loves so deeply.

 From Heavenly Parent’s point of view, it wasn’t until True Parents could fulfill their portion of responsibility that God could be liberated from his agony and suffering; and now through True Parents, all humanity can be liberated and blessed and the yoke of the satanic blood lineage can be overcome. Because of True Parents, God has been liberated and freed to be able to stand in his original position. He was released from the shackles of the unchanging agony of people under Satan’s dominion.

Now through the Blessing all humanity can be liberated from that satanic blood lineage and stand in the relationship of children to God. We can become blessed children through True Parents. We can make a blessed family through True Parents. Through True Parents we can make a true blessed family and we can become true blessed children ourselves. Then our ancestors are liberated and blessed through us and they become blessed families in the spirit world. Still, without fulfilling our own portion of responsibility we cannot have this kind of blessing centering on True Parents.

As I said, at the first anniversary of the Seonghwa there were so many events that educated people about True Father’s life and works. The top leaders of the world and of Korea are now changing their attitude toward True Parents. Think about what the world can be like if we completely give our lives and unite with True Parents for one year and make the proper indemnity conditions.

America could be completely changed in one year. As American families we have a great debt to True Parents and to Korea. What shall we do? We must determine to be more sincere and more caring and loving, working to fulfill our portion of responsibility. We should have the spirit to work 10 times, 100 times harder than the Korean family in witnessing. We must awaken ourselves, and by following True Parents’ way and blessing our ancestors we can make the spirit world filled with light and the power of God that can transform the entire world.

Please be aware of what I have done in this past year. First, I took the most important thing, which is True Father’s words. Did you all see the new release of the Cheon Seong Gyeong? True Mother polished and published True Father’s words. This book includes the essence of all 700 volumes of Father’s speeches. The first version of Cheon Seong Gyeong, published a decade ago, could of not course contain Father’s words over the past ten years. The newer version has them all. Also, because of the urgency to publish the original Cheong Seong Gyeong the first time, it was not well edited. When it was translated to English and many other languages, it became less and less precise. This update was translated directly from Father’s original speeches and is done with great care. I want you to know that many professors, elders and key leaders have worked diligently to prepare this new version.

Think of the last 2,000 years in which we just had the Bible. Now with True Parents, we have the path to Cheon Il Guk clear ahead of us, and the foundation that True Father has given us is his word. There are three core books in preparation that are a summary of Father’s words: the Cheon Seong Gyeong, Pyeonghwa Gyeong (Peace Messages) and a third the Champumo Gyeong, or True Parents life story

Through these three books we can become one with True Parents. Please think about the importance of Father’s words, and reflect on how much you are studying and reading and learning and practicing Father’s words. By becoming one with Father’s words we can fulfill our responsibility.

As well as worshipping God in truth, through the Word, we have also to worship him in spirit. Because of the Fall of Man, the spirit world has been in total darkness, with no light. There was light only in a small area where God was. In essence, Heavenly Parent was surrounded by darkness. That small area where God resided was pure white. We have to realize True Parents’ activity has worked to liberate our lonely Heavenly Parent.

True Parents have liberated God by opening the way to comfort his heart. You can help do your part by taking responsibility for the liberation of our ancestors. This is our portion of responsibility. Through the course of liberating and blessing our ancestors, they become absolute good spirits, filled with light. This light is shining brightly in the spirit world and is multiplying and expanding. If you follow Father’s direction to bless 210 generations, you will be protected in a special way by your ancestors.
