One Bullet, One Target, One Vision 2020
The following summary is a translation of True Mother’s speech on Sept. 6, 2013 of the Heavenly calendar (October 10, 2013 solar) at the special luncheon for the center leaders held in the Peace Palace (Cheon Jeong Gung) in Gapyeong, Korea, originally published on Tongilgyo.org. About 120 people participated in this event including second-generation Top Gun trainees.
Everyone, are you living each day as if you were living a thousand years and a living a thousand years as if you were living a day?
The reason I gathered you here is because we made a promise in front of Heaven. So, do you understand the meaning of the words I said “living a thousand years as if it were a day”? We need to work toward that day which our Joengseong and efforts can make glorious, happy and proud. This way is the chief responsibility of people on earth. It is time to fulfill your responsibility.
Now we have less than six years until the day we promised [to complete Vision 2020]. But it won’t happen the way we are acting now. We need to show actual results. We need to harvest the fruits. That way, our descendants can live at ease. As I said earlier, in order to move forward with spirit and truth you need to explain who True Parents are clearly. Everyone should know about True Parents. This is the hope of all humankind and Heaven. Only that way, can we sort out this complicated, current generation.
After World War II, Heaven wanted the world to become sibling nations centered on the United States. So, the victorious United States helped to rebuild the defeated nation Japan. It has been possible for Japan to prosper today as a result of True Parents. The only way forward is to unite as one centered on True Parents in order to save humanity and all nations. Korea especially has a mission to fulfill its responsibilities in front of the Providence. Only we know this path. So we need to let other people know, too. But how and what do we need to do in order to do this?
The 40 Top-Gun people came here, right? Did you study hard? Did you read all the Cheon Seong Gyeong? What did you feel when you studied the Cheon Seong Gyeong? The purpose for educating second-generation Top Guns is to unite mind and body by subduing the body. When you unite your mind and body, we can become one on the same goal whether you have higher position or lower position. We need to become one bullet to hit the target, the Vision 2020. This means we need to bring victory. Later on when you work on something, you need to move together horizontally, more so than vertically. That way, you can stand centered and unified. Originally, if we had grown up in the God’s creation it would have been easy to unite mind and body, but due to the Fall it is tough. Second generation, by exercising your ability, you must complete the providence for which the first generation had suffered hardships. You should not be a watcher and bystander. The people who are surviving should run towards that one goal.
