Inherit the Heart of Heaven

True Mother’s speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 21 Day Vision 2020 Top Gun Training

CIG Y1 HC 8.19 (September 23, 2013) Cheon Jeong Gung

The reason I gathered you here is by True Father’s will. I hope you can become historical people who have lived in the same era and have lived at the same time with me. Look at Joshua and Caleb. Were they the only ones who went for spying? There were 12 of them. But what happened to the other 10 people? They disappeared. Only Joshua and Caleb remained in history. I have called you with hope that you can all become central figures in the 2nd generation era, who can inherit 100 percent of the traditions of True Parents.

True Mother gave words of encouragement to Top Gun 21 day traininees at the Peace Palace in Gapyeong, Korea.

All of you hold public missions, right? Therefore, I cannot keep you here too long. That’s why you need to participate in the 21day workshop and some of you will have to participate for the 40 days. I wanted to give you an opportunity where you can re-arm with Divine Principle, listen to True Parents’ course newly and you, yourselves, can become spiritually brighter.

What True Father was most careful with, as he was holding God’s will in his heart, was to control his vigorous blood of youth. That is why his goal was to subjugate him self before wanting to subjugate the cosmos. You must have heard he had set this goal and prayed 10 something hours and he paid indemnity physically, right? It is the same for you. I won’t strike you but you yourselves have to realize this point. You have to realize God’s will and heart.

At the age of 17, the True Father went the way of a pioneer as he was holding God’s will in his heart. It was an unspeakable path of blood, sweat, and tears, where he had put his life at risk. Then, until he turned 40, he never rested comfortably even one moment and never ate properly as he should have, and he gave up on everything only for the sake of fulfilling the will and goal he had set.

Since True Parents’ providence started after the Holy wedding in 1960, True Parents’ path was something we can’t even describe in words. Can you imagine the moment, though he knew everything, when he had to put an end to it all before the Foundation day in 2013? Have you thought he had to leave to the spirit world while trusting only you? If it is only you, maybe you could take an easy way but you have children. You have your descendants. I hope you can feel what kind of heart True Parents had.

Regarding raising children, if there is any problem, you can resolve it soon if you do it yourself.  But wouldn’t it take time if you have to ask someone to resolve it? You have to know how precious this time and this moment is.

I like Joshua and Caleb. They are from the well-known families. They were loyal to Heaven until they were over 80 years of age. Especially Caleb, who had everything in his position. But he became one with Joshua. He had supported Joshua without showing off. It was the place where the Cain and Able issue was restored. Because they laid such foundation, the Messiah could come through the Israelites.

I have thought many things as I am watching the leaders these days. I don’t think there is such a culture where you love one another and be proud of each other. The heart to love one another and take care of each other should be stronger than any other organizations in the world. It is because you are children of True Parents.

From now on, I want to create a good environment through you. You can all grow together as a whole if you take care of, support, and be proud of each other instead of wanting to become high in position. Any kind of organization or person can’t develop if they think only they are the best and there are no other people who are better than them. You have to know this. Those who have left or dropped out from the church with their personal reasons after having followed Unification Church still love True Parents unchangingly. But they have left because of so and so and this and that. This is something you have to change yourself. You are the children who should resemble parents but if you go centering on yourself, you will shrink. If you lead a life helping others, you will prosper. Which way of life would you choose?

There shouldn’t be anyone who is in pain because of you. You are the ones who should save other peoples’ lives. You shouldn’t be killing others. We are talking about people. There shouldn’t be anyone who leaves the church because of you: you have to embrace everyone with love.

We have to restore the world by putting this tribe and this country in front of God any way we can, don’t we? We have to have the center. How glorious would it be if you could do that? One person alone can’t do it. It can be done only when everyone can help each other and make it double, three times, four times, ten times and 100 times more. You should never forget, because of who it is that you can live in this important era. It is because of True Parents.

True Father has sent out missionaries from America, Germany and Japan in 1975. It has been almost 40 years since he had sent them. It has been 55 years in Japan, I heard. It is true not so many have remained, but they are taking a great portion of responsibility. At that time, True Father gave to those people who were like the elite troops, centering on America, educated and gave responsibilities but they haven’t fulfilled them. Have you heard of Top Gun? Will you become the top gun of this new historical providential era?
