Joungkung - Being born lower class I was afraid of offending Confucius's dignity

2001-10-14 · Source: tparents.org

“I would go even to hell if my mentor leads us.”

I was born among lower class people. So I was careful and fearful while I was trying to cultivate myself for fear of troubling Confucius’s dignity. Meanwhile, Confucius said that we have to accept the greatest new truth, so I joined with humble heart according to his serious request. But I am determined now and forever that I will follow him wherever it takes me.

The Unification Principle saves humankind from destruction. It will surely save you. It is guiding the way that everyone should go. Whoever you are, try to listen to it. The words on banners here and there are stopping my steps and heart. As the lecture on the main subject started, many questions came out here and there but they were not considered. I experienced a strange feeling during the lectures.

While the lecturers were speaking fervently, I felt as if I were looking down from the air, falling in raptures of joy. So I couldn’t listen to a good deal of the lectures since I was in a state of selfabsorption. I wanted to immerse myself in the mysterious raptures more than listen to the lectures. But all of a sudden, I felt as if I were falling down from the sky back into my original feeling. What is the meaning of that? It

is neither a martial art nor a magical power.

It was as if there is some kind of equipment that makes such a strange thing happen. I also had a new experience with the sincere lecturers. They came very close to me and went back to lecturing. Then I blocked my ears, for their lectures sounded like thunder and lightning. “Reverend Moon is True Parents. He is a savior to save humankind. Sincerely serve him as you do your mentor, Confucius. The emancipation and the way of humankind will come true right here.”

I felt that my eardrums were being punctured, so I covered my ears to protect them. I realized that Reverend Moon is a mentor greater than Confucius. Do we have to serve and attend him as we do our mentor? I couldn’t understand what’s what. I really wanted to listen to the lectures in the proper way. I couldn’t tell whether my body was in the air or what. I felt as if I were wrapped in something.

I felt suffocated and really wanted to go out. When I tried to stand up, something from the chair was pulling me. So I touched the chair. Nothing was there. Suddenly someone was observing me at the back. I looked back with a strange feeling but my mentor, Confucius, signaled me to be patient a little while longer.

So I waited for the time until the lecture finished. I looked around to check if the other attendees were doing the same things, but everyone was sincerely listening to the lectures. I don’t know exactly what happened to me today but I have only one desire, and that is to discuss about what I experienced today with Confucius, to satisfy my curiosity.

Where did such a mysterious thing come from? My mentor guided me here, so I will just accompany him. Why would I abandon the way if it were natural law to go? I don’t know anything but I will just follow my mentor even if it is as miserable as hell.
