I want all of you, especially the senior blessed couples, to understand clearly the reality of life in the spirit world. First, make sure you conduct Hoon Dok Hae in the family, especially between husband and wife.
Doing Hoon Dok Hae with children is vital as well, but I stress the importance of husband and wife doing Hoon Dok Hae every day. As a couple, through Hoon Dok Hae you can recognize the sins you have committed compared with the standard, and together you can set up a goal for the level of Spirit World into which you would pass on that day.
Between husband and wife, there should be no secret, and you should know based on the truth where you will go. If you judge yourselves to be bound for the mid-range spirit world, then you can set a goal to build up toward a higher level of the spirit world.
To achieve that, we have to accept this message from Sang Hun Lee because he did not make it up, but it is based upon his real experience in the spirit world. In that regard, on the next True Children's Day, we have called all the senior blessed couples from the 36 to the 430, and Father may rearrange the order of senior couples, on that day, or later when sovereignty is established. Father will fill in the vacancies created by betrayals and mistakes.
Then juniors will be presented and Father will pick some of them to fill in the blanks in, say, the 72 couples. This will take place shortly. We don't know exactly when, but in any case, he has called all the senior couples to this holy day. So, take Hoon Dok Hae very seriously, especially regarding life in the spirit world.
I also strongly urge you to make sure that your life is aligned with the contents of Dr. Lee's messages and Father's Hoon Dok Hae books. By studying this, we will know the providential declarations I have made through setting prayer conditions.
Recently, I have proclaimed many special providential days and so forth, and you have to know the meaning and significance of these. By knowing these things, we will be able to move forward because they are like planks in the building of a bridge.
These proclamations are planks or concrete slabs connecting, on which you have to step over one by one to cross the river. And you have to understand why I made these proclamations because as we begin the fourth Adam's era, to enter the Kingdom of God we have to be certain our life is pure and clean before God.
I strongly emphasize the importance of daily Hoon Dok Hae. To do it is our choice, but you must understand that the Hoon Dok Hae material shows you how to take the courses of indemnity.
I have set all the indemnity conditions necessary to continue the history of restoration, and Hoon Dok Hae is the record of this victory enabling the history to continue. So for you to carry it on, you have to study this history.
Then you can continue to drive on this superhighway with God. The goal is to live with God forever, and the condition to do that is to be one with True Parents in the physical world.

As a blessed couple, you love to produce your children and grandchildren. But these children will become much brighter and wiser than their parents. So, unless you set up a heavenly example in your family life, your children will not follow you because they have a sense more keen than yours about the quality of your life of attendance. You cannot fool them.
To convince them, you have to thoroughly enjoy doing Hoon Dok Hae, more than secular people enjoy dancing, drinking, having parties, and so forth. That is the attitude we should have, and if we do, we will secure our relationship with our children. Four years ago, I spoke about the hobby life and hobby world.
What is the standard or paradigm of hobby life?
It is the reality of the spirit world. Our focus should be the Spirit World, the kind of life expected there. Based on that, cultivate your life in the Physical World to match your future life in the spirit world.
By experiencing and practicing this in the Physical World, we will have the same joy and happiness in the spirit world. So cultivate your hobby life. Eventually, your eternal hobby life will be in the Spirit World.
Once we know the goal of the hobby life, we can develop our plan for the Physical World, and thus we will pay more attention to the areas of practicing hobby life properly in the Physical World.
Therefore, from now on, if anyone in the movement is doing an excellent job in his hobby life, witnessing, or fundraising, if you are interested in what he is doing, you should go there and join him and gain his experience. Then you will be in the same realm as he is in the spirit world.
If we set up any insect or animal in the physical world as our standard or source of lessons, which would you choose? Probably the ant. The ant continues to work until it dies. It never relaxes and enjoys its life. Among the insects, the best on the earth is the ant. Among those that fly, would be the honeybee, working hard.
Thousands of bees team up to serve and attend the queen bee and follow her for many miles. There is such a contrast between the world of the ant and that of the honeybee. The bee represents the Spirit World and the ant symbolizes the Physical World.
The ant crawls on the ground and takes care of the rotten, decayed things, cleaning up. The bee flies around and harvests the sweet things. If there are any dead birds or worms, once one ant discovers it, immediately thousands of ants gather there and take care of it.
There are stages. If we want to go to the top, we have to start at the first stage, that of the ant, and then we will reach the top, the world of the honeybee. We should overcome the world of death, Satan's world.
Only when we overcome this world of death, the satanic world, and use it as the fertilizer to help the flowers bloom, can we become honey bees to collect honey from the flowers, which is our potential life in the Spirit World.
So, do Hoon Dok Hae. We have to long and miss it as a hobby, more than we desire three meals a day. Once we study the Hoon Dok Hae books thoroughly, we will understand our responsibilities, even our official donations, such as the indemnity fund and family fund.
The Hoon Dok Hae books explain these things. Up to now, we neglected or even just forgotten our obligations. If we do not fulfill them, we cannot even pray.
In whose name are we praying these days?
The name of ourselves as blessed couples. But without fulfilling our responsibilities, we cannot open our mouths and say empty words in prayer. Before your relatives and family members come to know what you have failed to fulfill, you'd better fulfill it.
In the secular world, the government punishes those who do not pay their taxes. So before that point, you'd better pay. Even in the secular world in which laws can be changed, these restrictions apply to those who do not meet their responsibilities.
But in eternal life, there is no way to change the conditions of responsibility, so we have to take this very seriously. If the National Messiahs can't translate the 12 volumes of Hoon Dok Hae and educate the people for whom they are responsible, they will be disqualified.
Since you know this, do you still think we need me to come into public gatherings to give you more teachings? I have taught you everything. I have a responsibility to look after my family, just as you look after your family.
Because of this, the True Family has been affected a lot. Just make sure of one thing: do Hoon Dok Hae more than True Mother and I do.
To prove that the Hoon Dok Hae material is the only truth humanity requires, even to prove it to you, I brought all these international and interreligious leaders to Washington, DC, to go through the Hoon Dok seminars.
We saw that they obeyed and aligned with the Hoon Dok Hae teachings. Since the non-Unification Church members are taking Hoon Dok Hae so seriously, you have no excuse. You have to read it and practice it every day.
It is the superhighway going to the Kingdom of God. For children, there should be no freedom in the method of education. The American educational system has to change.
There should be no selfish individualism in it. This is the restoration of the authority of the elder son, parent, and king to bequeath the tradition and wisdom of God. That power should be exercised on every level. Parents are responsible for controlling their children. This is the king's power in the family.
So please, learn by heart what I have taught you this morning. I will leave for Korea soon because next week will be the last True Children's Day celebration of this millennium. So I am preparing internally to take care of this celebration.
This morning, the fourth IIFWP Hoon Dok Hae conference is over. Rev. Kwak, gave a report about it. Imagine, if we had this much of a foundation fifty years ago, what kind of world would we be living in today?
This means it was our failure and mistake that this time did not come early enough, not until I am approaching 80. So in repentance, we should bring the leaders of our communities to Hoon Dok meetings. This is the heavenly level of education.
