Spiritual Perceptions of Jesus with True Father

As we gathered for Hoon Dok Hae, at the start of the special OSDP 10 day Workshop in Korea, we heard that True Parents would be attending. We did not know then that for most of us, this would be the last time we would see our True Father.

While we waited in prayer for True Parents to arrive, I became aware of the presence of Jesus; not far away but close by. Shortly afterwards True Parents arrived and indeed walking close behind them, with his left hand on True Father’s right shoulder, was JESUS.

He is tall and slim with dark, wavy hair. His face has strong features with high cheekbones and a long nose. He wore a simple long white robe and appeared very differently from the suffering image often depicted. He did not hold on to or cling to the cross - and seems far removed from that place of suffering and sadness. Neither is he the biblical figure of 2,000 years ago, but present with us, now.

I thought of how wonderful it would be if Christians could see this deep bond between Jesus and True Father and the deep, beautiful, fragrant and intricate nature of their relationship.

To describe the love that Jesus has for True Father would take many hours and need many examples. Jesus loves True Father as much as he loves his very breath!

TRUE MOTHER Jesus’ heart towards True Mother is deep and layered with many different emotions such that it is hardly possible to describe with words.

I could feel Jesus’ deep RESPECT for the course True Mother has walked together with True Father and the immeasurable

GRATITUDE for the joy that True Mother’s victories have brought to God!

If you can imagine a deep place – like a well perhaps - into which you toss a stone- you wait to hear the sound of it reaching the bottom, but you cannot. There is only silence.

This is my perception of Jesus’ heart towards True Mother. He reaches down into his heart to find the words to describe how he feels, for all She has done, for all She has achieved, for all She has offered – and he, Jesus, cannot find any words – only beautiful, holy - silence.

JESUS Jesus’ spirit is clear, calm and strong. His mind is attuned to True Father’s mind. I could sense that he had learnt patience and accumulated wisdom. His humility springs from a place deep within his heart where he loves God beyond anything else. He has the heart of absolute, peaceful surrender to God. He carries himself with the quiet dignity of someone who would never fight for position or desire any recognition, praise or adoration. His desire is to love God, to attend True Parents, to love, to serve and then to love even more, forgetting the love that he had already given. To live and to walk in peace.

His heart is overflowing with unconditional love.

Jesus’ spirit is completely clean, without any dark areas or deception. He is an example of the kind of person Father has asked us to become, for in Jesus it is evident that he has practiced noonday living – without any shadow.

His mind is sober, serious and holds steel-like, unswerving, uncompromising will and determination. He is mentally alert and intelligent - not a fool or someone who is easily deceived, neither does he appear to like any form of lies, deceit or cheating. Jesus attends True Parents with a clear understanding of all providential matters. He is up-to-date and keeping pace with Father.

His behavior around True Father was very careful and protective. He seemed to understand the fragile nature of Father’s health. Although he remained with True Father, he could be seen constantly checking that True Mother’s every need was being met. In Jesus’ mind True Parents are one; two halves of one whole. Therefore, it would be inconceivable for him to attend True Mother with any less sincerity and devotion than that with which he attends True Father.

TRUE PARENTS

A beautiful feeling surrounded True Parents. As they sat down, a bright light appeared behind True Father’s head with rays which extended outwards and was so bright that it was impossible to look for long.

The air surrounding True Parents is saturated with true love. It is evident that without developing a heart of love, our spiritual lungs, it will be impossible for us to breathe in the spiritual world. Although we know this, I was intrigued to see the reality of this unveiled. In the place where True Parents were, there was no oxygen! In the place of air was true love.

In the spirit world True Parents are the natural centre and pivot of everything. There is no forcing, struggle or exertion for them to assume their position. There is a natural harmony – a natural agreement – a natural surrender. I recalled the bible passage where God says, “I AM THAT I AM!” and felt the same is true for True Parents. They are who they are. Their position is obvious. Whether someone wants to accept it or not, does not have any bearing or effect.

A wonderful feeling of absolute peace surrounded True Parents and pervaded the atmosphere. The feeling is that True Parents are the sum of all that is PEACE - in every dimension and on every level.

As I looked around the room during the course of the meeting, I saw a beam of light emanating from the top of each member’s head. Present within this beam were the members’ ancestors. Also present were many Blessed Couples in Holy Robes - filling the whole room. They were completely attentive, sitting as if on an invisible floor above us.

Jesus and the True Children continued to offer love and devotion to True Parents. Jesus did not leave True Father’s side for the remainder of the nine hours of Hoon Dok Hae. Where Father went, Jesus went.

However, I did not see Jesus again until the final day of the workshop.

As Reverend Yu offered the closing prayer, Jesus appeared in a white robe. He stood on the stage in front of True Parents picture facing Reverend Yu with his back to us and his head bowed as he joined with us in prayer.
