Great Revolution in the Spirit World

In 2009, True Parents proclaimed the era of the Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World

Ecumenical Initiatives - True Parents Legacy
Human beings live in deep ignorance of matters regarding spiritual reality because our connection of heart with God was severed due to the Fall of our first ancestors.

Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World 

In 2009, True Parents proclaimed the era of the Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World. After thus opening the era of unity between the spiritual world and the physical world, we can eternally and freely communicate between the spiritual world and the physical world while attending the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind.

The True Parents have said that the age is approaching in which the spirit world and the earthly world will come under the dominion of God and True Parents and interact directly. 

1. What is the Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World? It unites the earthly world with the spirit world; it binds the two worlds together. Now, by completely attaching the two worlds that were severed from God, in a way that cannot be severed, we unite them into one. I chose to call this the “Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World” in attendance of God. 

We have this expression because the time has come when a lineage and a nation of peace cannot be divided. The Korean people, who have advocated Godism, never plundered even one other nation. Other than Korea, no country has attended God and maintained a tradition of peace from the beginning of its history.

This is why the owners of peace, the True Parents, emerged there. In addition, they own lineage because no one but True Parents can unite lineages centered on God. If they become the owners, through which lineage and peace become one, they will accomplish the glorious restoration of the homeland.

The earth itself becomes the land of the hometown, where the hometown and homeland of God and the children who belong to the homeland of God can be proud. (2009/12/22)

2. If there had been an owner of peace until now, God would have been that Owner. Other than Korea, no country has known and served only that God. Since the beginning of history, the Korean people have never invaded another country. They have never fought against or violated another country.

They have advocated peace. God is the Owner of true peace. Because the Korean people have been serving, the final landing place of civilization is our Father's house, where God rules, and that is where we have to gather.

Because we need to gather at God's feet, we use the expression, “the earth connected to the spirit world.” Accordingly, this world is connected to the spirit world. It is an association, not a federation. (2010/01/05) 

3. Because we need to know God, I have taught about the connection between the earth and the spirit world. 

The Chinese character for “connect,” yeon, is formed by putting together the character for “thread” with the character for “ear.” It is not the ordinary character yeon, meaning “join,” but the character meaning “connect” that can truly bind. Stitching the spirit world and the physical world together as with thread and uniting them is what is meant by the name of this organization. 

The Unification Church came into being by connecting the earthly world with the spirit world in front of God. The Unification Church is the entity that can prepare for that and can achieve that circumstance. 

After that, there is “shin ae in,” “love between God and human beings.” Until now, the spirit world and the physical world have been fighting, but since I have established a system to unite them, the Spirit of God is emerging.

The position of God is emerging, and the owner of true love is emerging. That is why I say, “love between God and human beings.” Human beings who can manage the true love of God are emerging. After “love between God and human beings” comes true love. (2009/12/01)

4. The spirit world is endless, an invisible, infinite world of space. God wants to accompany us and live in such a world. God does not have a body. If I give the command, all the people, just as they are, who have died throughout thousands of years, will be able to enter the realm of the Blessing as sons or daughters. For that reason, they are all returning to Earth. Accordingly, I have created the Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World. (2009/10/10)

5. God has to return to being the absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal Owner. Since the Korean people emerged to prepare that place externally, the Unification Church brought the religious realm together and then created the Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World. 

Next, the families who have received the Blessing, after uniting the spirit world and the physical world as root and trunk, are engrafting religions, based on Korean tradition.

Because the king of kings of the kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven becomes one with the Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World, a foundation on which God will be completely free from any limitations in the spiritual world and the physical world will develop.

The textbooks and teaching materials have been completed; based on that firm structure, you must go beyond your limitations. 

Since the world of peace is the territory of God's hometown and homeland, once it alone remains, it will remain for all generations as the supreme place of victory. That territory is the hometown and homeland of all nations.

God's hometown and homeland is where heaven and earth have become one, and God, human beings, and the archangels have become one. Everything will be completed when we offer and dedicate the way of the family in that place, and invest our loyalty and filial piety there. (2010/01/19)

6. The Korean people have been attending God until now for the sake of attending the King of Peace. 

True Parents indemnified all providential history since the Fall. Because the lineage of Cain and Abel became changed, the True Parents had to rectify that.

From the summit of heaven to the ends of the earth, True Parents must perfect, complete, and accomplish their responsibility together with God, who perfects, completes, and accomplishes His responsibility. 

Since God is the King of Peace, what must True Parents do to become the King and Queen of Peace? On behalf of Abel's sacrifice and victory over the Cain world, while Cain attends the foremost Abel, True Parents have to connect these brothers with God and with themselves.

Now there is no Cain. True Parents have thoroughly washed away the history associated with Cain, who spilled the blood of his younger brother and who must attend his younger brother, who now is in the position of the older brother before the Fall. As the representative of the True Parents and the True God, Cain, the elder brother, has to attend to the younger brother. 

Accordingly, we must establish the Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World in front of the victorious True Parents and God's victorious supremacy, centered on the peace that does not exist outside a person of inner unity.

After bringing victory by placing God at the center and uniting with Cain, Abel attends God and his True Parents, who had been expelled completely from the earth. Suddenly, the age has changed. Now the older brother can attend from the position of the younger brother. (2010/02/07) 

A spiritual revolution centered on True Parents 

While True Parents perfected, completed, and accomplished the providence on earth, they also linked the providence continuously to the spirit world. True Parents finished work that had to be done first on earth.

The perfection of the earthly and heavenly worlds was possible only with True Parents in the central position. They said that after they go to the spirit world, they have to lead a great revolution for the sake of setting the spirit world in order. 

7. As you know, life is short. Before you go, you have to clarify the type of work you will have to do for the sake of this earthly world and understand that you are preparing a newly pioneered land where people can dwell in the heavenly nation.

You should prepare to create a great revolution before going to the spirit world. You must do this with enthusiasm greater than I have had while working for God's Will. Furthermore, you have to generate a revolution to substantiate the world in its original form, in a world that has continued for thousands of years. Neither God nor the angels could carry out that revolution. 

Saints and sages have come and gone. They experienced the restrictions of prison life, so how could they transform that environment into the kingdom of heaven in heaven, a world that is like a lighthouse in the blessed land of peace? There, revolutionary expectations, greater and more complex than those of the world, are waiting. (563-047, 2007/05/08) 

8. People who met me 50 years ago have not been able to bring as much change as I have over those 50 years. If children in our second and third generations seize hold of my teachings and come to understand the reality of the spirit world, they will be ecstatic.

Now, even if I shake the dust from my hands and depart this world, the foundation is such that you cannot ask for me to come again. When Korea and the United States turn around, my work is finished. Thus, after going to the spirit world, I must begin another revolution there. 

I have the responsibility to establish the ideal tradition from the position of the first ancestor, the unfallen Adam, a position equivalent to the central Messiah for all nations. Adam could not establish that.

He was unable to attend God and as a filial son, patriot, saint, and divine son created a family that would have acted as a bridge. I have to go forward to complete the revolution related to the earthly world. When I leave imperfection behind and go to that yonder nation, that imperfection cannot follow and enter with me. 

Furthermore, because the assignment to create a new revolution remains, I have to hasten on the path I need to take. (574-181, 2007/09/03) 

9. Including my beloved Heung-jin, I have sent four of my children to the spirit world. Now, will they look forward to my going to the spirit world? Will they look forward to coming to earth?

Will I look forward to their coming to earth? If I teach that I will attend God after ascending, will they say that it is good? Do you think they will look forward to something? 

Since they have the role of the children, they cannot fulfill the role of their parents. They are observing the earth, hoping for accomplishments and assisting. Because they could not attend our Heavenly Parent in the heavenly world due to the problems on earth, if I do not establish the path that the children who unite with me can follow, God's liberation and that of the Lord at the Second Advent will not be accomplished in the heavenly world. 

Therefore, for your sake, I must go to the spirit world quickly. When I go to the spirit world because I understand these issues, I will start a revolution. Satan cannot demand any kind of condition for the families who enter the spirit world after completing restoration through indemnity.

Therefore, they can bring about a total revolution under my command. I can take people who are in hell to the kingdom of heaven. (503-124, 2005/08/03) 

10. In the spirit world, everyone is hoping I will come quickly and make things right. They are waiting. 

You believe that I would appreciate it if I could live a long time on earth, but in the spirit world, they do not think like that. Now my work on earth is finished. I understand the spirit world well.

Like it or not, the earth is an instrument through which we pass. When I go to the spirit world, I will lead a total mobilization. 

Now that I have put the earth in good order, I am putting heaven in good order. Because I have put the earth in order, even if I die now, it will not be a problem.

In heaven, they have completed 100 percent of the preparations, so they can welcome me. They are waiting. The perfection of earth and the perfection of heaven are possible based on me. The things I speak of sound like a dream, but they are real. (247-265, 1993/05/09) 

11. What will I do after I go to the spirit world? Having reached the position in which I accomplished what was unaccomplished before the Fall, when I go to the spirit world I must again lead a revolution and bring about a unified world in heaven and on earth, which means a new heaven and a new earth. For that to occur, you should certainly unite while you are on earth, and then you need to unite with True Parents. 

Only then will the father-son relationship, which was divided by centering on two, become completely one. Father and son were divided even in the heavenly world, but through this unity, Satan would disappear completely.

After reaching the ideal position, the unified, original, innate form of creation, they will patch things up. A scar will remain, but after they come together, they can make a new start. (573-035, 2007/08/20) 

12. I do not know when I will go. As for me, I am marking out 80 percent of the path I will take, which indicates how to live. Even though I have not taught 20 percent because I still must pioneer some things to straighten out the path of providence, there is nothing to worry about. 

When I go to the spirit world, I will uncover all the complicated matters, find long-forgotten people, and reeducate them. If I fail in this, they will regard me as an enemy in the spirit world.

They will broadcast propaganda saying that I am a false parent, a True Parent. Yet if they have been forgotten, I will make it so that one day they will be remembered for their greater value. I will not forget my moral obligations. I can forget what others owe me, but I will repay hundreds, even thousands of times, my moral obligations. (408-243, 2003/06/09) 

13. A person who does not know about the spirit world is in a pitiful state, utterly pitiful. Knowing that I cannot scold individuals of this type. How will they go ahead and navigate along their path, through layers upon layers of obstructions?

When I go to the spirit world, I will create a great revolution there. I will cut a way through the obstructions, and if a path is blocked, I will set out on that path or even bore a tunnel. People in the spirit world are hoping I will come. When I eventually arrive there, thousands of years of history will be washed away. 

Those who did not know my teachings will be forgiven, but those who knew my teachings but pretended not to know them will have to take responsibility for what they have done.

To the degree of the depth and breadth of their knowledge of Heaven's lofty and precious perspective, those who pretended not to know my teachings will have a harder time making up for their mistakes. (591-326, 2008/06/02)

14. You do not know anything about the spirit world, the place you will go to after your life on earth. 

When I go to that world, I will create a revolution. You cannot keep up with me here on earth, but what I have done here is small compared to what I will do in the spirit world.

A revolution awaits, in which I will have to run, passing over numerous stages, hundreds of stages. For this, I will send to earth people who had gone to the spirit world but who have to pass again through the earthly world. (594-088, 2008/06/24) 

15. When I eventually go to the spirit world, I will not leave that world as it is. A great revolution will spread. When the revolution spreads, what will the people in the spirit world do? You must stand in the vanguard and stir up that kind of wind. You do not understand how great the problems are. 

In the spirit world, they are choosing enthusiastic Unification Church believers. Those who are standing in the vanguard are competing for the leading positions. There has to be competition.

When we look providentially, we see that we are in an environment in which we can go beyond the national standard; we have entered an age in which we can manage more than 70 percent as we wish. Therefore, we are giving the Blessing to our relatives. (386-291, 2002/07/18) 

The Meaning and Purpose of Religion
If God truly exists, and He does, then a true religion must teach what kind of being God is, what His love is like, and so on.
The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification and the Women’s Era - True Parents Legacy
True Parents declared the era of the Family Federation for World Peace (FFWP) on May 1, 1994, exactly 40 years after the founding of HSA-UWC, on the foundation of True Parents’ Holy Wedding and the condition of having completely indemnified the 33 years of Jesus’ life.
