The Cheon Bo Education Series - Part 2: The Value of Becoming Cheon Bo Couples and Understanding the Direct Dominion
2024-07-25 · Source: tparents.org
In Part 1, I shared about the significance of Cheon Bo from True Parents’ perspective, as the condition for bequeathing their victorious foundation to us.
I also shared a little bit about Heavenly Parent’s vision for the relationship He/She want to have with each of us for eternity, on the foundation of entering the Direct Dominion.
In this second presentation, I want to look at Cheon Bo from Heavenly Parent’s perspective in the context of the entire providence of Restoration. I’d like to start with a brief clip from a 2007 Will Smith movie, “I Am Legend”. Who remembers that movie? Will Smith played the lead role of a scientist alone in a world overrun by zombies, trying to find an antidote.

Here are 3 messages from my journaling that I hope will help convey Heavenly Parent’s heart when mankind fell. By better understanding Heavenly Parent’s heart, we can more easily see through His/Her eyes and understand the Providence more clearly.
1/16/23 (1 slide) “I created the original mind of each of my children to be eternal and unchanging. But how buried were the original minds of all my children, so captured, dominated and enslaved by Satan. It is true that I have personally visited every one of my children at least three times during their lives. The vast majority of those visits were like visiting a comatose patient on life support. There is almost nothing that can be done except to pray for that patient, hold their hand, and offer tears. I always offered tears.”
7/27/22 (3 slides) The fall of Adam and Eve was a sudden tsunami. It was overwhelming beyond words. The fabric of creation unraveled. The entire purpose of creation, the reason for my creating for billions of years vanished before my eyes. Then it was gone. The complete loss of your loved ones echoes through the universe. Then it becomes so empty. Total silence. Nothing comes back. My infinite love, poured out in urgent desperation just disappeared into a black hole. Dead silence.
Yes, there are stages of grief. I went through all of them. First, during the generation between Adam and Eve’s fall and the growth of their children. And then with the murder of Abel. The MURDER. That was Satan’s official claim over the cosmos. Like the Death Star destroying an entire galaxy. After that my grief exploded beyond comprehension. I had to come to terms with the immeasurable enormity of the task facing me. I had to concentrate so strenuously to find and receive even the tiniest expression of goodness among mankind just to maintain myself and my sanity. Even just one person who could feel my heart and exhibit kindness or love became so precious.
Creation was effortless. I was inspired in love to give 200%. It was never a burden. But restoration has been torture. Each step takes so much effort. It has been indescribably draining. Like climbing a mountain with 1000 pounds of weights, or trying to run in wet cement. We are finally back to where we were, and much further. We still need to complete the ideal though. At the time of Adam and Eve, that only required that they receive the Blessing. Now we need to establish Cheon Il Guk as a real nation. We are so close. I will not take any chances this time.
“Adam and Eve became the worst animals. They had to be converted into the best animals. Through 25 million years of human history, God could not find one true man, one true Adam.” Children’s Day Speech True Father Belvedere International Training Center, Friday, October 31, 1997
How old is the human race? It is a pure guess. The biblical record can be multiplied by 10, by 100, or by 1,000. Human history could be as long as 30 million years. The Bible says there have been three periods of 2,000 years, but you can multiply that by 10, 100 or 1000. So let’s say more than 20 million years. How many generations is that? To restore the lost Adam, God has taken this long. Cutting Off Satan’s Lineage, Which Is the Origin of this Most Evil World, True Father, Morning Service (Part 1) Belvedere International Training Center, December 1, 1997
10/8/23 (3 slides) I am so grateful that you can hear me. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. I created you to be skin touch resonating with my heart and spirit from even before you were born. I’m so, so, deeply sorry that our connection was so invaded. Satan has done everything in his dark power to fully destroy that connection over millions of years since the moment of the tragic fall of my first two children.
I have dreamed and prayed and envisioned the moment when my children could awaken again and hear my voice and experience my heart. Yes, these are very dark days, but I am so excited. Much more so than even at the birth of my first children. If your child suffers a horrible tragedy and is dangling on the verge of life and death for what feels like eternity, all of your entire life energy is focused on bringing him back to life and health.
You would gladly die a billion times if only he might live. You don’t even recognize your own tears, it feels so normal. For eons, and eons, and eons. Every effort I made through all of history was invaded. I truly had to summon absolute faith and hope and obedience to the original dream in order to continue.
God warned, if you eat of the fruit, you will die. In fact, Mankind essentially became Zombies.
There was only one antidote that could heal mankind. What was that?
God’s True Love.
So then why didn’t God heal mankind for 25 million years since the fall? According to the Principle, it was because Mankind must fulfill our responsibility. But let’s go a bit deeper.
God has guarded his inner heart and rarely gave any glimpse of his true feelings to anyone until Jesus and then True Parents. Certainly, only when there was a deep bond of trust and love. In the Old Testament, one of the people God loved and trusted the most was Isaac, who, in absolute faith, had offered his life to God, and thereby saved the Providence. God gave Isaac an extraordinary blessing, by allowing Isaac to experience God’s heart in a way no other human being had.
Isaac, elderly and blind, was deceived by Jacob and experienced his blessing being stolen. Isaac asks Esau in Gen 27:33-40 “Who then was he who hunted game and brought it to me, so that I ate from all of it before you came, and blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.” When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, me as well, my father!” And (Isaac) said, “Your brother came deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.”
“Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?” And Esau said unto his father, “Hast thou but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, “Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.”
Isaac experienced God’s pain and dilemma. Once bequeathed, only man could reclaim God’s Blessings. In fact, having bequeathed his Dominion to Adam and Eve, God lost his Sovereignty when Satan claimed God’s blessings by dominating Adam and Eve.
God gave Adam and Eve 3 Blessings which required their portion of responsibility in order to manifest.
Fruitful – They were to mature and reach individual perfection by dominating the angel with their love.
Multiply – At the night of their Blessing, God intended to unite in oneness with Adam and Eve bequeathing His love as they entered the direct dominion. They were to mature and develop that love to perfect the 4 great realms of heart as they became parents and grandparents and established God’s lineage.
Dominion – Through their family and tribe and with the full support of the angelic realm, they were to develop dominion over the cosmos with love, through Parental ownership and God Centered Hearts. This was to be an eternally developing process.
Again, “If the fall of man had not taken place at the beginning of human history, there should have been only one holiday for God, parents, children, and the things of creation combined. (on their wedding day)“ Childrens Day 11/3/75 - True Father
Adam and Eve would have entered the Direct Dominion and become one with God inheriting His love when they consummated their conjugal love on their wedding night.
But now, in the Providence of Restoration, our Blessing has been conditional. We enter the Direct Dominion and inherit God’s Love only when we enter the CheonBo Won.
“Through completing the portion of responsibility, the realm of indirect dominion can be connected to the realm of direct dominion, and the Kingdom of Heaven on earth can be connected to the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven. The portion of responsibility of blessed families is first for everyone to register into CheonBoWon… The First Blessing is individual perfection, and the Second Blessing is family perfection, and the Third Blessing is really entering CheonBo Won. The CheonBo Won gradually extends to the nation and the world. That is God’s Kingdom of Heaven.” The Portion of Responsibility and the Kingdom of Heaven 1986.12.21 Belvedere - From the transcript of Dr. Yong’s Morning Devotion May 31, 2022
Satan’s 3rd Temptation - Evil Dominion Matthew 4:8-10 Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Due to the Fall, which resulted from a failure to subjugate the angel, mankind succumbed to Satan’s 3 temptations. As a result we became fallen beings, creating families of Satan’s lineage, exercising dominion through force and greed and cruelty.
Through Satan’s temptations of the first ancestors, He stole all three Blessings. 1. We became the dwelling places of Satan rather than the Temples of God 2. We multiplied Satan’s children rather than God’s children 3. We relinquished ownership and dominion of the universe to Satan
God’s Entire History of Salvation has Centered on Winning Back the 3 Blessings from Satan
Jacob’s Course became the Model Having purchased the birthright, Jacob stood in the position to be able to receive the blessing, which Isaac then gave to him transferring the right of inheritance to the younger brother (God’s side) Jacob traveled to Haran where through 21 years of indemnity he claimed his wives and great wealth from his Uncle Laban, who represented Satan.
In order to recover God’s 3 Blessings, he willingly sacrificed Satan’s 3 Blessings. 1) He determined to restore dominion over the angel or die trying. He finally secured the Angel’s defeat and blessing. 2) He freely offered up his wives and lineage. 3) He freely offered up all his wealth. On that basis, he could experience God’s Love when he embraced, Esau. And God, through Esau symbolically blessed his marriages, lineage, and wealth representing dominion when Esau returned it all to Jacob.
Jesus followed Jacob’s course: Jesus dominated Satan on the individual level and taught: 1. “Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” 2. There be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
He also taught to cut off from Satan’s 3rd Blessing. Matthew 6:24 “You cannot serve both God and money.” Matthew 19:21 “Go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.”
True Parents, through the Pledge are guiding us to reclaim the 3 Blessings. Pledges 1 – 3 represent the 3 Blessings. The 3rd Blessing is infinite, and gets expanded through Pledges 4 – 8 1. Seek our original homeland and build the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven (to become someone living for God’s will)
2.To perfect the dutiful family way of filial sons and daughters in our family, patriots in our nation, saints in the world, and divine sons and daughters in heaven and on earth (to establish a God- centered family)
3.To perfect the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Great Kingships and the Realm of the Royal Family Pledge 3 is the foundation for the Direct Dominion. Developing our hearts of love as children, spouses, parents, and grandparents, and thereby establishing the 3 Great Kingships: Grandparents, Parents, and Children.
Then on the foundation of Cheon Bo, we can enter the Royal Family, which is Direct Dominion. That is where we can inherit God’s Love, having already prepared our own foundations of love
True Parents have modeled God-Centered Dominion Through True Love True Mother, Mother of Peace “When we give and forget, true love flourishes.” True Father, Day of All Things, June 4, 1989 “There is no penny of property in my name. My bank account is zero… Money knows its purpose and power is for saving humanity, for serving God… Money prefers to be spent in that way, not in a selfish way. Money, like water, knows where to flow.”
To restore Fallen Mankind, first True Parents needed to: 1.Defeat Satan 2.Crown God as King of the Universe 3.Help God become perfected (Our object perfects us) 4.Establish a nation where God could have substantial Sovereignty (In a world where Satan’s nations have been firmly established, God can only come down to Earth on a National Foundation)
On those foundations, God can return to the position where He is free to once again bestow His Blessings and His Love upon His Children (the antidote) – and finally restore mankind from Zombie status back to our Original status Here are key milestones in this process:
1999 - Surrender of Satan
Satan Surrendered (March 21, 1999) at the Hotel Americano, in Nabileque, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. On that foundation, we were able to begin ancestral liberations and blessings, and the Cheon Bo providence opened up.
2001 – January 13 Coronation of God “Today, on the 13th day of a new millennium, as I hold the Coronation Ceremony of Kingship for Heavenly Father and Mother, may all creation of Heaven and Earth, all blessed ancestors in the spirit world and the descendants on earth become one in mind and body. As we are in the fourth Adam’s realm of the age of heart — going over the time of indemnifying historical grievances — we have entered an age in which we can open the Gate to the Kingdom of Heaven through connecting a new heaven and new earth to each other.”
2010 – 2011 – Proclamation of God’s Perfection True Parents Declared the Complete Perfection of God and True Parents June 19, 2010 in Las Vegas
True Parents wrote the Proclamation of the Final Cheon Il Guk Victory, “God and True Parents are completely one. God is complete, perfected and fulfilled. Aju! Heaven is here. Congratulations! Sun Myung Moon. Aju!” December 11 and 12. 2011 at the Ocean Cheon Jeong Gung Palace (Section 4. True Parents’ Completion of the Providence, ChambumoGyeong)
To establish God’s Sovereignty, True Parents needed to offer Heavenly Parent a Nation which included: Land, a Constitution, and People.
2014 – CIG Constitution On 1.13 by the heavenly calendar in the 2nd year of Cheon Il Guk (Feb. 12, 2014) on the 1st anniversary of Foundation Day, True Parents proclaimed the Cheon Il Guk Constitution and the management laws of the Supreme Council in front of the cosmos. On this day, members of the Supreme Council were also appointed.
2020 – Firm Establishment of Cheon Il Guk (Land) At the 100th anniversary of the birth of Rev. Sun Myung Moon on February 6, 2020 Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon declared the “firm establishment of Cheon Il Guk”
2020 – First Citizens True Mother Blessing the 1st Cheon Bo Inductees 10/10/2020
Cheon Bo Induction is the antidote that Heavenly Parent struggled 2 million years to find. Finally She could bequeath Her Love to Her Children.
6/12/24 (3 slides) Heavenly Mother’s Journal Message to me Yesterday. You are uncovering important aspects of the Providence as you prepare your presentation for tomorrow night. It is true that I was not at liberty to bequeath my love to my own children. What could possibly be worse? Only my children, who through their own free choice, made Satan the king of this world, held the authority to revoke that decision and return my sovereignty to me, and only then could I have the possibility to embrace my children into the direct
dominion where they might inherit my love, which heals all pain and raises all things to the perfect realization of my original ideal. My children needed to pay the indemnity to allow me to send True Parents, before I could be made whole. My own perfection can only come through True Parents. According to the Principle, it is our object who perfects us. That was true with Jacob and Esau, who laid the foundation for the Providence. That was true with True Parents, who raised each other up, and that is true for Cheon Bo Couples, who achieve the Direct Dominion through their tribe.
Only after I reached perfection with full sovereignty, which required having my own land, constitution, and people, was I free to finally bequeath my love and 3rd Blessing to my Cheon Bo Couples. Thank you for thinking deeply about this. You will give a fabulous presentation tomorrow and I will be there speaking through you. Eternally, Heavenly Mother
Next Month, In Part 3, I will talk about God’s plan to overcome Satan’s 3rd Temptation on a National and Global Level, and how each individual, after entering Cheon Bo, must personally overcome any residual shadows of Satan’s 3rd Temptation by going through a transformation from material attachment to living 100% for God’s love - as Jesus and True Parents have modeled.
