The Master Speaks On the Restoration and Judgment

1965-04-02 · Source: tparents.org

THE MASTER SPEAKS ON THE RESTORATION AND JUDGMENT ( These questions and answers have been transcribed from tapes made during our Leader’s sessions with members and guests at Centers throughout the United States during his trip in March & April 1965 “

In terms of laying the foundat ~on for the world res- toration the number l44,000 is given o We have seen the example of the aompass an d W6re told that it has made a sweep of about half the fuZ. l aircle That u

was some time ago o Where are we now? When the nation of Korea accepts us o f ficially, then the circle will be completed . That will be the inner circle . Then the world and universal circle will start and be completed based on that inner cir- cle . The inner circle will become the center or point for the next circle. By the blessing of the 120 couples, the condition was made to ✓ 1 restore the whole world. _.__

The judgment is here, but is there also a final judg- ment in which all men will be judged at the same time? Yes “ There is already_j-1..ldg.me.nt,_ __in __ o-q~ heart~, isn’t that so? We know this in daily life. In this way God protects us from evil and c· guides us into good. There will be a finaJ judgment besides this, When God establishes His sovereignty on earth and has direct dominion over all people and the world, He will separate good and evil “ Any- thing against God’s will will be discarded. God will get rid of things and people who are against Himp His love or His truth . He will not be tolerant of things and people who are not fully His own.

But, as our Principle teaches, God will not desert any person eternally. By some means of restriction they will be restored . He will restore them event 11 but me nwh · Ha.. wi.ll r-e,s.t:i;;:ict Lhem._aruLma~.Ehem..::. goocr;:- Satan chastises, curses and damns people by force , and turns them from good to evil. He brings about sadness and destruction and death” God will use the opposite way , He will use His force to re- strict and chastise people in order to turn evil ones to good. God’s method, although done by force, still brings joy and happiness to people.

If it will take Satan almost an eternity to be restored, and the world will be restored within our Leader’s life- timej then does that mean the physical world will be re- stored soon~ but that the spiri& world will take much longer? Yes, after all earthly people are restored, it will take a long time for the spirit world to be completely restored because there are so (_ very many spirits who must be restored through the principle of resur- rection through people on earth. It will be much faster for earthly people to be restoredo The number of sPiJ:its is very great , And -. . . — -~-- --· they must go through the resurrection in an indirect way, ·----- - - -

The most urgent matter is to restore the nationo When the nation is restored, things will be done officially between nation and nation . The work in America and other parts of the world will be done very fast “ I will be able to send ambassadors to each country to contact the top leaders of each nation . It will become easy to influence the United Nations and do something through that organization a This time is not far distanto

I met the youngest brother of the Emperor of Japan while I was there. Also many of the most influential ministers of the Japanese government , One of them is a member , and most of them have heard the Principle all the way through. It is this type of person we want to reach. I plan to send missionaries out to 12 nations . For this reason , I wish to go into Mexico and cross the border into Canada while I am hereo How many of you will be able to go to other countries? I plan to visit 12 coun- tries on this trip, and I wish missionaries to follow immediatelya After this is done, we will form international missionary teams.

Presented as religious teaching, the Principle meets with opposi- tion. But in a movie the reaction will not be so strong o It should all be done professionally. A Korean movie company wanted to do this but I refusedo It was too small a company o

If man had not fallen, how soon would he have progreaaed through the various stages of aiviZization? Modern civilization has been established in the past 400 years; since the Protestant Reformationa If man had not fallen we would have reached this point very rapidly. Look at the progress which has been made in the past 50 years. When man is not civilized, he has been instructed through intuitive revelation a Today people make artificial flowers that are so realistica If man had not fallen , he could have accomplished this through intuitive revelation much earlier a Creativeness is a gift to mana The engine in any machine plays the role like a heart in a human body. A computer is like a human b r ain. ~lLmechanical. develop- men1=:__ :k_§.__nothi:t}g__gt_<:?.!:~---!:_han the revealing and disclosing _o f th.JLS_tructure of a __human being in a .m ~terial- way “ A- communication system is like our nervo~·s-ystemo Man has ·-n:o·t invented anything “ He has just discovered --”\ what was already there within himself . He has nothing to brag about” The organization and system of the whole world are in you already, and not all has been revealed yet a There is much more to be revealed. -✓

In reading Colo Pak’s writings , he said that if there had not been a fall there would not have been a realm of Formation and Growth whi c h man would have to go through . The Kingdom of Heaven would be all o Let us take the example of a chestnut o It has thorns and it has several layers. There is the outside one v then the shell , then the husk, then the meat. It has three skins a Any fruit has several parts: outward skin, inward meat, and the core o But nuts have an outward skin, then a hard shell, then a thin peel before you get to the nut itselfo Those several skins grow together, but when the nut is not quite mature, when it is raw, the meat is not fully created o The meat of flesh is the seed of the next generation . I f _you _plant -~- s~d ~hicl:1 _is _not~at_ure_, the

tree doe.s not__ _q_ome out,, But you cannot see whether the flesh is mature or noto The flesh and its coverings all grow at oncen A baby boy has (’ all the potential to become an adult man. As the physical body grows, so does the spiritual bodyc It takes man only about 20 years to grow to perfectiono But because of the fall it has taken 6000 years, divi- ded into three stages. The three stages grow togethern

You said the seed grows after the outward skin. Then that would mean there are stages of growtho Yes, but it is a much shorter perioda Because of the fall we expanded 20 years of growth into 6000 yearso We cannot say the three stages do not exist, but they grow together so harmoniously, each stage blending into another, that it is very difficult to distinguish the difference between them”

Is there such a thing as a perfected child - that is, children of perfected parents? No, their position is that of Adam’s prior to his fall. They can also fall if parents do not raise them carefullyo They are free from original sin, but they must still growo The parentsi blessed couplesp must be particularly careful with the love affairs of their childreno Other- wise they can fall againo

What happens if they fall? ( They have to start all over again; but it will not take 6000 years. But the regulation or law about it should not yet be announced; so I cannot tell youn

Thia would not affeat all mankind, would it? No, because there are True Parents and True Childreno The work will continue with them and they can do something about it. The children who have fallen cannot affect the whole.

There is a prinaiple in nature where a rotten leaf will fall off the tree. In order for life to come back to it~ it has to be grafted baak to the tree. Would a prinaiple of this type hold with fallen chil- dren? There will be a very strict law about this. Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden. Likewise, if children are driven out of the King- domp they will never be blessed in marriage on earth. It will be a very strict lawv but it is not to be announced yet” There is a Con- fucian teaching in the Orient which says that when children become seven years old, boys and girls should not sit together” (_ Leader’s comments: What can I do with this adulterous America? With- out our movement America will decline because of this corruptiono It

is urgent that you approach your teenagers quickly before they are de- filed” Toa. ..iy is the day of fruit,, not tree or root ,. Therefore Adam”s sin is bearing fruit through his offspring “ That is why adultery is so predominant all over the world ,. The Lord of the Second Advent must judge this evil and corruption and cleanse the world f making it new “ You must work quickly or your nation will decline .

Inwardly speaking 0 in the realm of heart n f am~Ji.§§ __ ~ being__de_s_.tro_yed, nc3:!::_~.9.!l§__a.r.,e__.b_reaking d_o wn. In ancient time-s people were well united. In this day people don’t feel very nationalistic . Ties are breaking down and becoming very individualisti c “ Even couples are not uniting well and are breaking down c But outwardly the world is becoming united and is working toward onenesso This 1 s God 1 s providence, Outwardly we move toward oneness, but inwardl y we hate this individualistic way of living and the breaking apart of f a milies and nations . In this way God is destroying and breaking down the satanic world; while outwardly He is preparing and forming the one world He is to establish “ Through the ministry of the Lord of the Second Advent p god __will re-cre.a.t.e___t___l’?-.§ h e - - 9 ~ ~ . a n d _;i:-e-fo1;m. iDft_iyid”1al§..2_f _c;milies and nations again _. This outward preparation is being done now “ Soon the inward and the outward will become one; and the perfect world will be establishedc America is leading the whole world in terms of this breakdown ,,

Do you prefer to go to an old people’s home when you get old, or to live with your children in love? The Lord will bring families who will never divorce, nations which will never divide o After the inward and outward are united and become perfect, then the individual will regard the family as more important7 families will regard the tribe or nation as more significant; and the tribe or nation will regard the world as more important. In the communist bloc you can see the pattern. They. regard the nation higher than the family 0 and the family greater than the individual. They are teaching a lesson to us, but in a satanic wayo We will do it God’s way.

The democratic bloc must endeavor to bring all religious groups into one, since the communists claim there is no God . Some years ago the Lama of Tibet fled from Tibet to India . At that time America should have helped Tibet organize some international organization of religions; lending financial support o Had this been done, God could have used it to hasten His work . From now on conflict between religions will be a big headache. The democratic world should , by all means , bring unity of all religionso If ~eligious groups are in conflict the democratic world will be weakenedo Because America has not united these groups and made such an international organization , she has failed in a sense to prepare the way for the Divine Principle o If the Communists join with the Arabs, there will be great trouble o Before this occurs; Amer- ica should unite the religions, including the Mohammedans . By all means; and using the greatest amount of finances needed , this should be doneo

What part do Germany and Japan play in the dispensation? After World War II Germany and Japan were taken into the democratic free worldo By their defeat they became part of the democratic side. They were taken from the satanic side and brought to the heavenly side. Once they were taken from the satanic side, God is responsible to pro- tect them. So they are i n a more beneficial positiono That is why

MS-4 s they have been prosperingo If those two nations accept our cause, then God may send them to the front lines to fight for Himo Then they are in the most blessed position because they will be used by God ( to play important roles. Those who are taken from the satanic side, like Abraham, are in Abel 1 s position. These new nations are in Abel’s position on an international leveln Older nations must c.are for them . Older nations are in Cain’s position. So the new nations may go ahead of the older ones.

Is a third Worid War inevitabZe? It is all up to the people of the world. Gn~ did not want Cain to slay Abela It was not Cain’s fault alone. Abel was also wrong. This we found through spirit. ~bel irritated Cai:_.Q_, and was als_o r~s_eon~ibl_e. <J If the world and the leaders of the nations put our movement at the front line, a world war can be avoidedo If they do not do things in accordance with the Divine Principle and God’s providence, then a war is inevitable.

So you have a great problem in America. Although the DP came from Korea, it is needed even more in this country. Unification is not a simple thingo I had to struggle with each group in the spirit world, overcome each struggle, and become the final victor. Then I could bring it down and start the battle on earth. I talked with many founders of great religions, many masters on the spirit side regarding the purpose of their religionsn They said the purpose of all religions was to ful- fill the will of God. In order to fulfill the will of God, what is the ( center of it? It is to find a True Mano Then what is a True Man? _Tne !rue Man must know the ~~.!1, ~d l::>_y__the truth _h.e __nrnst,_ _a±J:.ai.n___…a _§__od-like ~sonali ‘l::X_o He must live the truth and must be able to suhj ugate Satan ‘(} by~th. If he does not have the personality perfectly in accor- dance with the truth, then he cannot subjugate Satan. After he achieves that personality, his heart must become one with God’s heart. With this truth and this personality, he must become the center of the spiritual and physical worldso Standing in this central position, he would be able to feel the heart of God and become one with Himo In becoming one with God, he could know the exact feeling of God, why He created the world, and the purpose of His creation. He could feel God’s desire and hope and love in creating mankind and the world. I discussed these things with the masters, but they did not have all these answerso So one after another they were subjugatedo In that way I won the victory in the spirit world, and became the Lord in the spirit world first. Then I began struggling on earth, and am now subjugating people and nations with this truth. Since the masters in the spirit world are al- ready subjugated, they are responsible for witnessing and testifying to our movement through mediumistic peoplen Otherwise they will be judged, because they know what has already been done.

But these same masters will sometimes tell you not to come to our move- ment o Why? All religions were started by some kind of revelation. They all had some missiono Each founder, in order to start his mission, has had some responsibility o On the final day when God’s will is com- pletely fulfilled, these founders are to bring a certain number of dedicated followers to God. The higher and larger the religion, the more people the founders must bring on the final day. Supposing Buddha has 10 million people to bring to God. Then Buddha is responsible for testifying to his followers what our Leader has done, and what our

truth stands for. But he might tell them not to join us now, because cJ God if he loses members he will not be able to bring the proper number to on the final day. He will not be able to fulfill his mission . So he will discourage his members from Joining with us immediatelyn What the members must do, then, is to become very revolutionary and leave that religion. In so doing, they will become higher than the founders of that religion. If a Buddhist is revolutionary and leaves the Buddhist religion to join the Divine Principle, he will become higher than Buddha. That is one reason so many people do not come to our movement, although they testify to us. And that is why our Leader says it is not good to be controlled by spirits at this time” They will hold you. When this time is past, the founders of other religions will have to leave their members alone and not restrict their coming to the Divine Principle, even though they may fail in the process.

Is this true of Christians and Jesus, too? Yeso

Sinoe I am in the military I am a little ~oncernedo Principle tells us that communism will destroy itself, but it doesn’t leave out the possibility of a world or global oonflict. In the light of the behaviour of people today, is there this ohance that we oould have auoh a conflict? If the communist world is divided within itself, and if it subjugates C itself to the free world, we can avoid a global war. In the communist world there is also Cain and Abel. Communist China is in Abel’ s __ posi- tion, Communist Russia is in Cain’s posi ti~”-Even in- the satanic wor1.d C-o nintunist China is in the -AEeT pos1.tTon.

Then the Soviet Union should subjugate itself to Com- munist China? Because it is the satanic side, it is worse. The Cain side of Commu- nism is rather approaching the Western world. There is a strong possi- bility of division among the communist countries, This is good, If the democratic world is truly united and becomes strong, they will at- tract and absorb the satellite nationso What I am doing now, the bles- sing of the land, is to achieve the subjugation of communism in the future. I am working for that goal , When the Cuban situation arose in 1962, I said that President Kennedy should be strong and strike them. Then Khruschev would leave Cuba. And they did. When Khruschev visited the United Nations and struck the desk with his shoe, I said, “Now will be the end of Khruschev and Communism , Satan is shout ing on top of the world, so his end has come.” They would decline from that time on.

In this country we have the ohoice in time of war of saying that we will fight or that we want to do God’s work only. What do you reoommend for our young men? It’s up to you. Do as your conscience commands . -~

Leader’s Question; You have studied the Principle in the course of se 1 £-restoration. How do you achieve perfect j on of your-pe-Fscnal ity? ( How can you be recognized as a victor in this progressive achi0v, ·•1(~nt 0

of God 0 s dispensation from individual to universal?

God always seeks persons better than those who have gone before. In other words, in the individual level you have to exceed the level of Adam. In the tribal dispensationf you must exceed the faith of Abra- ham and Jacobo In the national level, you must exceed c.ven the spirit of Jesus. God always seeks people better than those in the past. Jesus said, “You must exceed in righteousness thP srrihns · ··, ~~e Pharisees.” He also said, “Greater things th~n these will you <lo o “ I have opened the way for you to be better~

When you study the dispensations for Adarnws family or Noah’s family or Abraham’s family, don’t just study by letters and wordsQ You have to feel the responsibility of restoring what Noah lost, or what caused Adam to fall, or what Abraham failed in. Don’t be a spectator to the history of the restoration, but be the host and feel as if you have to do something about these failureso This is what I have been feeling. I didn’t feel that this was another’s story, another’s failure. Noah failedo What can I do to restore this, to make indemnity? What can I do about Abraham’s failure? Don’t be a third person, looking at it all from the outside. Really struggle and feel heartache for these eventso Take upon yourself the failure of the mistakeso I have shed tears and struggled to do these things by myself. You must feel the same struggle as I have gone through to open the way for you. You must feel the same things I have. Otherwise there will be no relationship ( between us in heart, and no actual relationship between you and God. You are just looking at everything from the outside as a spectator. Take the entire responsibility of history upon your shoulderso Until you come to that point it is still my Principle, not yours. When you really feel responsible and take the responsibility upon yourself, then your personality will growa When you study and think of the history of restoration and you feel no tears in it, you are not a true followero If you don’t feel like sacrificing everything and doing something about this, you are still form-spiritso But when you do, then the Principle will become real to you, this cause will be yours, and all the victorious foundation ~~11 be yours, and God will be yourso Thus you will become His child” - ~ you ‘it-’re called to take upon your- self the responsibility of all 6000 years, by yourselfp how would you have felt? 1lhen I came across Abraham, I felt as if I was offering my only son, as if I were preparing the wood to burno I prepared the altar as if I were truly involved in thiso ~ did everything, except it was all symbolical~ In that way I made condition for one after 0 another (Adam; Noah, Abrahamo •• ) o It had to be done 1.n front of Satan o Otherwise I would not have been able to go from one stage to another. So every period of restoration is my work”

My responsibility is to make indemnity for all those from Adam to the Lord of the Second Advent “ But you must take upon yourself the respon- sibility of at least one person — Ada.m or Noah or .i\braham~ You must assume the responsibility of at least one stage, or even a part of it. (_ While I am doing the whole, if you cannot do the whole 0 do part of it.

If you were told to leave your country tonight, would you do as Abraham did? Would you tell y our wif~ to act as your sister and go into Phar- oah ’ s house? Would you pass over three national borders if ordered to

do so tonight? At least you must feel as Abraham di<L If you cannot actually pack up and leave, then shed your tears antl pray with the sarae heart. Otherwise your heart will never growo

Suppose Abraham had not obeyed the order of Go<lf “Go where.: 1 .3.(:ud. 11 Then the mission would have been taken away from him at that ti~e. If. you cannot take action, then you must feel and shed tears and pray with the same he~rt. Then the call will be extended; God will wait for you , The period for dealing with you will be extendedo If you don°t have such heart or feeling, then it will be taken away.

Do not only study the Principle, but live the Principle in this way as if you are facing those problems. Otherwise what is indemnity and res-· titution? Indemnity with a small condition; a big tlebt is wiped awayo If you feel as if you are actually doing these things yourself; God will count it as if you have done it by yourself.

Have you really understood how your heart and personality can grow? When you reach this point, your spiritual self will become very recep- tive. Most women will receiveo It will be easier for you from now on because of the broadening of my influence. The members in Korea really suffered. It has been beneficial to the whole world, but in the early st,ges there was no benefit to them. They just struggled and fought on a dry groundc

There are many things that ordinary people cannot understand. If I treated you as roughly as I did the Koreans, none of you would be fol- lowing. It is no wonder it has taken 6000 years. Who, in this small world, can see that we are dealing with such a subject? We don’t be- long to the same world that most people <loo We live in an entirely different worldo Our dimension is much, much higher, and they cannot see ito

You have said that, in order to round out our personaZity, we shouZd experienae different aapeats of Zifeo There iRn’t enough time on earth to experienae aZZ different kinds of Zife. What do you suggest? Why did you go to the university if you were so busy? Why didn°t you just graduate from grade school? You must make an ~ffort. It doesn 1 t mean you have to be a secretary for three years and a college professor for another three years. By understanding people in different walks of life, you can feel the same things they do. By understanding people in different environments you enrich yourself.

What has been taking place for 2000 years of the New Testament Age can be restored by one individual who makes an effort 2000 times. We are re sponsible to pay indemnity for the past 2000 years. We can do this uy experiencing life as much as 2000 people would experience ito A week 0 s adventure may cover 500 years of experienceo The stress is on adventure, a leap. If you go at a normal pace it will take 2000 years. By suffering 1 you can leapo The more you sufferp the quicker your cours <_ will beo

University and high school graduates should go to farm villages and serve the simple people. In other words, they should bring down their high status by serving as a servant .

Suppose you have to pay indemnity for 100 yearso Is it not better to suffer gre at ly for 10 years so that you can rest for the remaining 90 ( years? Don°t postpone your sufferingo

We had hoped to preaent you u)ith a few new people when you arrived. but among Satan’s other meddling in our affairs many of the people we had b~en work- ing on fOr quite a number of montha sudde~d,y just dropped away and saatte~ed. These things will happen about three times before you really see the beginning of the worko

Leaderva Question: Don°t you think, if heaven is a happy place 1 it should be like this? B~loved mates should be together; they should not be separatedo I have suffered in order to find out all thiso Information is not enougho You have to live accordingly. So it has been hardo To you this is only a family problemo To me it is a world problemo

Suppose you lead three persons in a year. In ten years what a change there will be~ Those three persons pray and work to lead their three persons, and so it goeso If you work as hard to get your children as you do to earn your living, you will be successful”

Jesus was to lead 120 people by the time he was 40, but he died at 330 ( He left seven years unfulfilled. That is the great tribulation of seven years. That is why our group takes a seven-year course in wit- t nessingo -)C

What witt Jesusv position be after the restoration is aaaomptished? Jesus will be the first and eldest son, because he was the only one who came to this world as the Son of Godo

Do you mean God’s eldest eon~ Dr the Master’s? The meaning is the sameo

The Kingdom of Heaven etarta quiakZy in Ameriaa. Why qui ak Zy? How many people suffer and die and go to hell? If we shorten the time we can save many liveso This will bring joy to God, will lessen the suffering of human beings — so the sooner the better~

L Does eaah diapensation have a different Savior? Yes, but you believed in Jesus without knowing him actually in the flesho In this casep we enter the kingdom only as a family, not as an individualo To form a family, you have to be blessed in marriageo

The only one who has the authority to bless New Age people in marriage is our Leadero Therefore you have to have direct contact with him in ( this dispensationo That is the differenceo

What about the aosmic aalendar? That is not so important o The most important thing is how to restore the whole _worldo

What about birth control? Since God is not worried about over-population of the world, we should not worry ~bout· it either . To my observation; America can accommodate the entire three billion pOfUlation of the worldo

Will man live Zonger in the New Age? Yes. l•Jhether you live 10 years er a thousand years, it is all the same o Whether ; our life is meaningful or not is the point. One seldom feels as if ne has 1~ved as long as he haso Yes, the life-span will bE: longer because people will have good hearts and the environment will not be evil. Physically, we will be healthier; spiritually we will have less trouble. so naturally we will have a longer life span.

As the ~orld is restored, will all sickness and illness leave? Noo It will be greatly reduced. Even at that time there will be acci- dents and death if people are carelesso But they will know ahead of time by their heart. A person will feel that he shouldn 1 t take acer- tain trip, for instance . By premonition, you will know things in ad- vance so they can be prevented. If you listen and take it seriouslyp you can prevent risk. If you ignore the warnings and are careless, you will be hurto

What about iZZneasee by germs and disease? People will get old : even at that time. They will dieo To get old and to die, some bac teria may helpo Why should one be afraid to die? It is only a form of transmigration from the physical world to the spirit world. Even if Adam and Eve had not fallenp they must still fulfill their 5% res ponsibility. If you are obedient to the intuition and wisdom you receive from God you can avoid many urhappy events. If you are disoLe- dient you may get sick.

Is there a signifiaanae to fasting other than aeZf- deniaL? Yeso If we fast for another who is perhaps just coming into the move- ment, God uses this as a condition and Satan cannot attack that person

as severely a We fast not for ourselvesu but for others and for Godo It is a means of helping others spirituallyo But we are not forced ( to do thisa If you donnt want to~ you don°t need to fast 0

What does it mean when you say men and women are raised back to the status of Adn~ and Eve when they stand on Holy Ground? After we find our True Parents and are restnred to the position of True Children through the blessing of marriagee then your position is that of Adam and Eve prior to their falL Even though you are not actuallyv literally standing on the Holy Ground; still it is as though you are standing on ita Strictly speakingp this takes place after your blessinga But you receive the benefit before your r:J blessingo You are not yet in that pos i t i onp but you are in the realrna You are not in the literal position of the blessed onesQ but I regard you in the same realm with the hope that you will be blessed tooa So you must love the Holy Ground as the position of Godo The Holy Grounds are the only positions of God in this countryo

WouZd you expand upon the eZement of vitatity and the tife etement? The element of vitality is the vital life-force of the bodya When we have give and take between the spirit-mind and the flesh-mind in accordance with our conscience; which has been trained by the Divine ( Principle or the Word of God, then our spirit can grow freely from the energy or vitality producedo We may feel that we should express love or truth from God, but if we do not do it our spirit cannot growo But when we express love through service to othersp or express truth so that others can grow in accordance with this truthp then our spirit becomes vitalo Thus in a sense the vital life element consists of divine love and divine trutha The element of vitality comes from the give and take whi~h occur.s between the spirit-man and the physical- mano It is very impor1ant for us to keep our physical body in good condition, because the physical body serves as the host or soil for ou· spirit to growa Our spirit is actually growing from the vital life force in our physical bodya

When your spiritual life is very active or very bright with active give and take with God and you are full of joy and happiness inside, does it not affect your health and physical life? That is the life elementa On the other handp when there is perfect give and take within your spirit and your body; when you livr in accordance with your conscience; even payin~ sacrifice in order to obey your conscience to do good 0 you feel joy and happiness insidea Your physical life lived in accordance 1•i th your conscience gives vitality to your spirit o When you do some- thing against your conscience no one may know about itp yet you feel fear and weakness of your spiritual lifeo In other words, in that case your physical body is not giving the element of vitality to your spir- itual lifeo Your spirit-man grows easily in health and in beauty when (_ your body completely obeys it and becomes one with it through give and takeo That is the element of vitalityo There is constant give and t a ke between the spirit and physical bodyo When your sni.rit is healthy your physical health is affectedo When your physica: life is righteous a nd goodp your spirit grows and receives more strength and light and

wisdomu \ve call the power which comes from the spirit side n life c le- ment, 0 and the power which comes from the physical sidell the 0 element of vitalityo 0

My husband and I have the Divine Prinaiple to help us along our way. Certainly we were not satisfied with any ahurah that wePve gone too My aonaern now is with our ahildren. I do not have wisdom, but I have to guide my ahildren. The Divine Principle is presently being written so that teenagers can read it and understando You might teach your children from this new manuscripto Don°t try to teach it allo There are a few points in each chapter which children can understand and apply in their daily livesa Do not try to give too much at oncep but little by littleo In teaching the Principle to your childrenp their spirits will grow fas- ter than yourso Often messages will come through them to youa God uses the more innocent ones to teach youo This has often happened among our memberso The chi:dren receive far higher messages for their parents than the parents themselves doo They will teach you very defi- nitely how God is livinga When you <lo something against God 0 s willp they will immediately point it outo They will tell you what indemnity you have to payp what punishment you must receivep and so one Your children can be your guidesa Children will teach you how God is living in realityo It is said in the Bible that the little ones will prophesy This will be fulfilledo Since the Divine Principle is not the word of man, it affects and works with the children very uniquely and in a very different way from any other messageo They will be your teachers and guides and prophetsa In OJ lahomap we met an 11-year-old boy whose parents have joined our movementa This boy had already received about me and seen me clairvoyantlyo He sees and senses intuitively. He is so cleverg

[Miss Kim:] A friend of minep a full Colonel in the Korean Armyp has a son named Charlie. Charlie received so much for his parents and grand- parentso Often he would tell them something which the Leader would tell them a week later. He would point out everything his father had in his mind and heart. In front of Charliep no one could hide anythingo When evil people would visit his house, Charlie would point out that they were not gooda Once he chased away a visitor who was not a good man at alL

[Leader:] The highes t education today is to teach that God is living. This your children will doo Then they can be Principle workers when they get oldero They can be leaders of teenagerso So teach them~

In the ahapte r on Resurreation~ you say that manful- fiZls his 5% by wisdom. What about love? Does this have anything to do with our 5%? Are wisdom and love as one? Wisdom in that case means that you should use your own judgmento We should not depend upon spiritual guidance constantlyo Sometimes spirits give us the wrong messagep or even an opposite message to the truth 0

You must use your own judgmento As an illustrationf John the B,ptist should have used his own common sense and judgment to determine who

Jesus was, using as a guide Jesusij words and works rather than relying upon any message given to him from the spirit side 0 The example of ( the Apostle Paul was given in Miss Kim” s book ,. l\.lthough he had a great experienc e on the way to Damascus which he could easily have for- gotten, he didn ’ t. How many people have great and wond~rful spiri tun.l experiencesf and then just ignore or forget them? t1any of those who have been in our group and who are now inactive received enough signs and proof~ but they just ignored them “ They didn 1 t use their sense and judgmento

vlhat is Zove? Love is the power to uniteo Love is the purpose of everything and the essence of everything P the source of ·”Jower and happiness o When you love one another; you are happy and full of joy and energyo

It it important to know the differenae between Zove and wisdom. or is it important to know there is no diffe’l’enee? Yes, it is important because of Satan. Often I use the word “wisdom” as equivalent to “judgment,” or judgment by reason . Because Satan exists and constantly acts against you~ you have to have wisdom or the power of judgment or discernmento You must know what is evil and what is goodo You must constantly resist evil and separate good from evil. Love is differento It is a uniting power o Through love the ( divided spirit and body can be united. The divided heaven and earth can be unitedQ The divided God and man can be united. Love is the uniting power which is absolute and necessary o Wisdom or discernment or judgment is necessary 9 tooo

Does Zove beget wisdom~ or does wisdom beget Zove? They are two sides of the same thingo Let us put it this way: The sun is heat in itself. Because it is heat itselfr it has light. When you have loveu that love produces wisdomo When you come closer to God, you feel greater love from Himo The greater love you f8cl from God, the greater wisdom you will have o A mother may not be well edu- cated OL brightp but for her beloved children she has wisdomo She knows how to please her children” True love begets wisdom o To know truth is not just an intellectual mattero By knowing truth; you must become comparatively goodo The highest form of love is goodj the highest form of intellect is wisdom, the next is trutho So to know truth is to be- come goodo To be wise is to be loving “ Love or good is the purpose, truth or wisdom is the means to reach the purposeo To be good is the goal1 to know the truth and to acquire knowledge or wisdom are the means of being good. When you live the truth; you naturally become goodo You may be wise; knowing the difference between good and evil, but if you do not reach for the highest goal of loving God and manp what is the use of your wisdom? Your wisdom will not develop any furthero Love l is the content; wisdom is its form. meanso ~ood is the goal1 truth is its Good is higher than truth1 love is higher than wisdom. There are two aspects to wisdom: One is to know outward things; the other is to know inward thingso To know inward things is the wisdom of loveo Therefore, true wisdom is to discern what God loves and what God does

not love 0 where the love of God existso Catholic doctrinesp Unitarian teachings, Divine Principles — true wisdom is to discern which is r really God 0 s will and where God’s love existso In which teaching, in \ whomg in what action in your daily life does God 0 s love existo Par- ticularly at this time on God’s timetableQ you must know through whom and through what God is working and dwellingo

What is the imzro ,~ment in this dispensation? I thought when Jesus Chr>i :;1., aame h, aa1:r1 love uJas the fulfi17Y1,mt of the law “ Isn °t all our> trouble dual vision — good and evil . judging by appearanc es? Jesus said to never judge by appearanaes but to judge righteous judgmento If we live that way, isn’t that the opposite of this dispensation? But no one has succeeded in living that way perfectlyo If Christ ians have succeeded and are now living that way 0 there is something wrong with it. Our message deals with the root of evilp how we can dispen se with it completely and free mankind from ito
