Yo Han Lee's teachings on the proper Cain - Able relationship

Wanted to write something before I went to bed about Mr. Yo Han Lee. Never met him personally but he wrote three very slim paper books titled ‘Faith and Life’ which I carried around for years everywhere when I was on MFT. He wrote in a very succinct style which helped me use the Divine Principle to internalize it as a part of my like.

What brought him to mind was reading a member’s recent post which began with an assumption that he was on the Abel side and lecturing about compromise with the Cain side. This view, which seems to run through many members posts, seems so very different from Mr. Lee’s perspective.

Personally, I think when a person / religion / group assumes that they are Abel and defines the other side as Cain (whom God rejected) their contribution is unlikely to add to anything other than discord and resentment.

Mr. Lee worried that when a person or group see themselves as closer to God then others it opens the windows and doors to welcome a host of spiritual attacks to puff up the ego and sever that very fragile connection to Gods viewpoint.

He cautioned center leaders not to see themselves as a representative of Father or even as the Abel figure but suggested they might see themselves as occupying Lucifer’s position with the center members in the position of young Adam and Eve.

The goal was for center figures to develop an attitude where the path to God was through service, raising members and restoring past failures.

He helped me to see all these amazingly archetypes in the Principle as aspects reflecting my inner struggle and history as patterns which I must go through and achieve reconciliation. Only by having experiences with both can we help people and find a view which goes beyond the limitations of personal perspective.

It was this perspective which inspired me to join 45 or so years ago.

Well very late time for sleep and hoping it makes sense in the morning. Sorry for what I’m sure are abundant misspellings.
