The Relationship Between Ourselves and Spirit People

Spiritual Phenomena and Liberation of Spirits

1. Good Spirit World and Evil Spirit World

The spirit world is divided into two: the satanic world and God's world. If we can find the way to move from the evil to the good world quickly, the earthly things will naturally fall into place. Do you understand? [Yes]

How do we walk this path?

It is possible if we possess the secret method through which we can go to the Satanic spirit world and claim the heavenly side for all Satanic individuals, families, tribes, and nations. Do you understand this?

Such a time is coming. You should know that when this time comes to the spirit world, this will be reflected on earth, and things will roll into this world with a rapid transformation. (134-15)

What is the new movement we are developing? What kind of ideology is it? If God exists, it is the ideology conforming to God's will. Then what does this ideology seek?

If God exists, there should also be spirit world. Spirit world is a storage house where all our ancestors, present human beings, and people of the future arrive at and stay.

In this spirit world, there must be good and evil worlds because the world on earth is like that, and evil people will have to go to the evil spirit world. If death is the end of existence, this is meaningless; if, however, human beings exist in some relationship with God, and the spirit world is where they gather, then this spirit world is inevitably divided into two different kinds, good and evil.

The question, then, is what the good kind and what the evil kind are. We human beings have dual purposes, individual and whole. Therefore, God must seek the ideal world of dual purpose, where good and evil spirit worlds harmonize and humans on earth harmonize, thereby bringing everything into oneness and fulfilling the individual and whole purposes.

What, then, is the problem?

What has human history been seeking so far?

What is goodness, and what is evil? Why do we have to live in such lamentation and bang against the thick wall? It is because the starting point, process, and final destiny are different. What is its content? If we analyze the content, it is elementary. (12?-83)

We cannot understand this clearly without seeing comprehensively how the spirit world develops and makes a relationship with the world on earth. The spirit world can be divided into good and evil worlds. This is a world that exists. Although the people on Earth do not realize it, this world is real.

Now, good and evil spirits are struggling with one another in the spirit world. The battle is that good spirits are trying to lead evil spirits to good places, while evil spirits are trying to prevent good spirits from going up to good places.

You should know that evil spirits are connected centering on Satan, and people on the earth today are living under their dominion. Why is it? The good spirits are standing on the good side, not because they are completely good from God's standpoint, but because they have established some condition on earth for separating from Satan.

In the progress towards the world of original ideals, an ideal realm of goodness where original human beings can go, good spirits are fighting their way towards it, and evil spirits are struggling to block the way.

The evil spirit world and the evil world on earth are in constant communication. Good spirit individuals are the ones who were opposed and persecuted in the sinful world. They are religious believers.

Spiritual Phenomena

If religions fought against one another on the final day, what would happen?

Now is a time when such a phenomenon can easily occur. The Unification Church was born to prevent this. The Unification Church is a preventive prescription against it. This is needed.

The spirit world dominates the physical world. There must be hundreds of billions of spirits in the spirit world; the Japanese population of one hundred million is no match at all; it is not even as big as a speck of dust on the tip of the toe. Billions and trillions of spirits are on the offensive to take over the physical world.

One example of this is a neurosis. Shortly, perhaps after the 1980s or the year 2000, everyone may develop some spiritual sense and communication, either with good spirits or with evil spirits.

We cannot but fight against religious wars. Such a time may come. The mission of the Unification Principle is to prevent this. A high antenna produces noise, and this is a phenomenon of neurosis.

What is too fearful is just to have all the evil spirits attacking the physical world.

The question is, what would happen in this case? No matter how many people fill the world, they would all be struck by evil spirits. So God is making the preparation, expanding the foundation, centering on good spirits. (55-30)

A Letter from the Spirit World

Does the spirit world exist or not? [It does.] No. [It does] You rascals, no! [Yes] Then have you seen it? [We have] You found out through me, right? [Yes] What if it is a lie? [It is true] (laughter) Believe, if it is true, and you want to believe it.

I am not responsible if you go to hell later. Don't say, “Alas, I am in trouble because I was deceived by him.” If it exists as I said, would you not be exclaiming with joy, “Oh, what he said is true”? [We would.] You will be pleased, with your eyes wide open and nose twisted.

These days, I heard that Dr. Sang Hun Lee's wife, Han Soo, sent him a letter from the spirit world, and that Dr. Lee also replied to her. The letter said: “How wonderful the spirit world is! I did not know that the Blessing was so precious.

It is like a dream that we are a part of the heavenly royal family. This is like a mystery. It is so nice here that I apologize for coming here first. Please forgive me.”

In other words, she went to the spirit world before her husband, and since she had followed the Unification Church, dream-like things happened to her. So this is why she was sorry because it is too good.

We are smart people. Since we know the spirit world well, we live our whole life to conform ourselves to its program, right? Since we come from the origin, we should go back to the origin. Aren't rivers created by water rising from the sea and falling back down to the earth? So we should go back to the origin.

Life continues through the movement of circulation. Without circulation, everything will dissolve back to the basic elements. Do you understand this? [Yes]

Who is God?

You should know this. God is in the position of the mind of the universe, do you see? Can you see the mind? [We can't] Can you see the mind? [We can't].

The spirit world is a place where the mind is substantial in a certain form, and it transcends time and space. There you can eat whatever you want. You don't have to worry about food, drink, or clothes. It transcends all the need for the necessities of life. Do you see? Do you need a car there?

Do you think there is a car factory there or not?

[Not] Would there be factories for food, clothes, or fabrics? [No] None of these are there. There, you can traverse millions of miles in a split second. With what power? Through the power of love, if you have a desire to see a beloved one, he or she appears before you in a second.

The speed of love is the fastest, and it passes in a straight line. This is not a worldly love but God's love. What is Godly love? It is true love.

When you are in the realm of true love, you can move at the highest speed on a straight line, so you can operate on the stage of the universe, which is under the control of your thought. This is a truth that sounds like a lie.

It is because I know such things that I did not complain even when going through the valley of sorrow all alone as a pioneer for seventy years, and that I am still determined to walk this path straight until the time of death.

So if I die this way, there is a railroad in the spirit world. The railroads on earth and in the spirit world are connected like train rails that go through a national border; they have to fit exactly, not too big or too small.

Only the Unification Church knows these things. No matter how proud Christianity is, they don't know it. In this age, which boasts of late-20th-century science and the logic of structured progress, the Unification Church is the only place where we can testify to God with a religious theory developed through a well-structured process. (210-225)

Now is not a time when Jesus is opposed. Now that the age has come when the entire Korea will praise Reverend Moon's name from the standpoint of global history, you should fulfill the mission of tribal messiah. Now, your tribes-including far distant relatives-will be restored at once.

Restoring 120 families in six months is not a problem. We are in the position of elder brothers. The whole heaven and earth will see the dawn. A grandfather will become a grandchild, and a father will become a son. It is as if, when somebody becomes a king, their grandparents and parents have to serve him. Messiah means kingship, right?

In his country, all the saints will return from the spirit world, and you can rule as kings in the name of Christ. Here is tribal kingship. Then this becomes a realm of liberation in which kingship can participate in the global domain.

Just go and see if these are empty words. Now we have a letter from Dr. Lee's wife in the spirit world, Han Sook. She said, “Oh, when I came to the spirit world… you can come here when you are Blessed.

I did not know what the royal family of heaven meant until I came here. Sang Hun, I am sorry that I came here before you.” It is this kind of place.

When such an immense and eternal world is unfolding for us in our hometown, I don't want you to be poor people who have a limited scope of operation and lose their sense of direction. I am doing this to create a clear, liberated realm in which we can travel freely to the highest heights of the great cosmos.

What do you have to leave behind for the sake of future generations?

You should leave behind good things in the country for the sake of your descendants. Then people of the country will protect them, right?

So, instead of money, power, or knowledge, leave behind patriotic accomplishments. This is the preparation. Without preparation, even I would have perished, right?

Everyone wished for my downfall, and yet I made thorough preparations against my downfall. So I cannot be ruined under any circumstances. (213-146)

Hope of Spirit People

Then what would people in the spirit world desire?

This is the problem. Food? In the spirit world, you can be supplied with all you need according to your situation.

If I want something, it comes to me immediately. Do you understand? There is nothing impossible if you have the subjective ability to digest and move it. I don't talk about this so much because when I do, people say I am out of my mind. If you want to give a party for one million people, it can be done rapidly because one million people will appear at once, and all the preparations will be finished in a minute. Isn't it wonderful?

How miserable is the world at present?

Considering the Korean situation, there are many jobless people, aren't there? This is the situation. What would move things forward and bring hope? When atoms divide, heat is produced, and in the same way, when we start the division process of love. One spark will create chain explosions, “Ba ba ba hang!” Doesn't it look quite likely? (141-278)

The question is how the other world is connected. Those in the other world hope that tomorrow is better than today, just as people in this world commonly desire that today be better than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today.

Everyone, whether Orientals or Westerners, of the past, present, or future, all desire a better tomorrow. This never changes. All the spirits are the same. They want to have a better future and a better life in the spirit world than they had on earth. Then, the question is centered on why we desire a better future. (141-269)

The 66,000-year history has been a history of searching for one Adam, and a history of re-creating Adam. This is why you should follow me. Eve cannot be created without Adam.

This is why God had to create one man, Adam. For this purpose, the flesh and blood of the countless people who have appeared in the providence for restoration should be used as material. The sorrows and hopes of the millions of spirit people have to join and unite.

When the substantial Adam figure finally appears, only then can the martyrs, who have died under severe persecution, be sure that their lives were worthwhile. Spirit people receive liberation themselves by connecting with people on earth. This is how it works. This should not be just a vague concept. The question is how we can realize it deeply. (29-271)

We should move on, regardless of what others are doing on the side, whether they are eating or resting. In front of us, thousands are continuously going forward. If you struggle and make strong efforts to go, pulling the rope relentlessly, other people will also hold the rope for you. Meanwhile, you will also feel that many people fall away from the rope. It is like a marathon competition.

There will he first place and second place. History has been flowing this way. So far, countless spirit people have been holding on to this rope for thousands of years. So if you take the first place, go to the other world and take over the puller of the rope, then both the spiritual world and the physical world will be restored (32-145)

Liberation of Spirit People

Our Unification Church must complete the missions of three eras: saving the spirit people, liberating the people living in the present sinful world. And creating freedom for those who are to come in the future.

So we are proposing liberation in three eras. This is an astounding task. What will happen if such dream-like things come to pass in reality? Your mouth will open wide, your mouth won't be able to close, and your ears will rise high, but you will have no choice but to bow your head. (28-201).

Now, what is the Unification Church trying to do?

It is trying to create peace and reconciliation. But to whom do you want to bring reconciliation? Jesus and the Holy Spirit have been engaged in this task, giving birth.

What Jesus and the Holy Spirit must do is to be birth to children. The Bible says that through birth we receive salvation. Nevertheless, Christians say that women should not give birth. Then why did God create the organ for childbirth? No. This tells us symbolically that women must give birth again as a representative of Eve.

The essential characteristics of an original mother failed to be incarnated in Eve's body and spirit, as Eve failed to establish the base for reciprocation with the original subject-partner, who was to receive and complete those characteristics; for this reason, God took them back So in the time of Jesus God sent these characteristics in the object-partner to the subject-partner.

However, they have nobody. Jesus had a physical body, but the Holy Spirit never had a body. This is why we say that the Holy Spirit is like fire, oil, or wind.

The Holy Spirit enters into human hearts, moves them, and cleanses sins. It is like a mother giving birth to a child and raising him. Just as a mother needs a father's protection for childbirth, so for rebirth on, we should have the condition that hate is reborn through the protection of Jesus.

Now, have Jesus and the Holy Spirit been able to rest so far? No. Furthermore, has Christianity been able to rest? No. Furthermore, in trying to save the fallen humans for 6,000yearss has God been able to rest? No. Then, has the Unification Church been able to rest? Has Rev. Moon been able to rest? Although I am over fifty years old, I am still running around like a startled deer.

What am I busy with? I am trying to bring reconciliation so that God can rest, Jesus and the Holy Spirit can rest, and all our ancestors can be at ease. God is an ancestor, isn't he?

All the Christian saints who have been in the world are our forefathers. All the religious leaders are the same. We must liberate them all. We must resolve their sorrow. Such a problem now remains. (75-38)

I am thinking about this all the time, as soon as I wake up, and even on the way to the bathroom. Asleep or awake, wherever I am, and whomever I meet, I am thinking about this. Do you understand this? This is why I am not indebted to you. How incapable a leader must be to live in debt! I am now fifty-eight, coming close to sixty, yet I always tell myself that I will not be beaten by young people.

Even these days, I go to the boat every day. I am doing this because I know that in America, those who have an interest in the sea will have great economic power.

I am doing this to liberate the spirits of those who died at sea. Occasionally, I go out to the sea even after hearing a storm warning. Why? Because there are many spirits of people who died in the storm. In 1975, I went to Cape Cod and met liberated spirit people. No one knows this in the world, not even the captain of the boat. My daughter and True Mother are doing the same thing now.

Then why are we doing it when we receive persecution for this? For the sake of the liberation of the spirit world. You understand, right? (93-96)

Unification of the Spirit World

This world is Satan's stage of action, and the spirit world is God's stage of action; as such, the two worlds have always been in confrontation.

Since this surely remains a sorrow in the Age of Restoration, we cannot let them continue in opposition to each other. We should establish the realm of the mind centering on God, and the realm of the body governed by God. You should know that securing the foundation of unification depends on how you develop this in your daily life. (45-213)

To unify the Unification Church, we should unify the spirit world. Do you know the spirit world? [Yes] Our Unification folks should understand the spirit world and unify it. Do you think it is easy to unify it?

Without the unification of the spirit world, there is no unification of the world on earth. You know that the fight in the world on earth is hard, right? Then, do you think the fight in the spirit world would be easier? [Harder] Considering this, our Unification members cannot speak about hardship, since I am going forward myself. (153-56)

In the search for an ideal, what makes the physical and spiritual affairs one?

For the sake of the unification of the two realms, things have to be switched around. If I hold on to my own, it will not work. I have to give everything, and then the other side will come along here, and the other side has to give everything, and this side will go along there. We are moving on to find the lost place. (I47-94)

In connecting the spiritual and physical worlds, we should first confirm and realize deeply our conviction for the world and the ideal of unification, after which we should gratefully take the suffering path to realize it worldwide.

Then the spiritual and physical worlds will automatically become one, and unification will start from there. The direction of unification will be decided there. (29-285)

Can the Unification Church unify the world on earth before unifying the spirit world?

[No] That is the Principle. For this reason, to unify the spirit world, I am driving the Unification members into a place of death mercilessly. The spirit world will have to help you.

The more miserable a place you go into, the more the spirit world will be united.

Do you see this? [Yes] When you go into a deep place, the realm of the heavenly kingdom will be open among the thirty million Korean people. Do you see this? This realm includes those who are in hell. (49-109)

Relationship Between People on Earth and Spirits

1. People on Earth and Spirits

This world is the world of devils. We must restore it. You don't know when you will die, right? Everybody dies. The heavenly kingdom on earth will not be established unless we prepare a foundation on the earth through which we can move between the physical and spirit worlds, beyond the limitation of death.

Without the heavenly kingdom on earth, there will be no heavenly kingdom in the spirit world. You should arrange things in such a way that after you go to the spirit world, you can come back to earth at will. Only then can we live in the heavenly kingdom on earth and create the heavenly kingdom in heaven.

After you go to the spirit world, you should be able to freely come back. Without establishing the heavenly kingdom on earth, you cannot freely come back, however. This is not a vain thought. It just happens this way, okay? We should work on it even until eternity.

Ancestors, when they went to the spirit world, were found guilty. Unable to find their way to the spirit world, they come to earth and pay indemnity again. But you should not follow the same steps. If the Divine Principle is true, you are all blameworthy. What would you do? (146-223)

There is a high wall blocking the path of religion and the way of the world. How can unbelievers harmonize themselves with the faithful, and how can believers find harmony among themselves in the Last Days?

Without resolving this problem, humankind will be divided into two and fail to reach a new unified world. If the divided parts reach a unified world, this is not acceptable for the absolute God.

So they cannot arrive at God's ideal world, which must be one. For this reason, the problem is not the complicated world affairs, but how I can find the self that can unify the mind and body and leap towards the goal. This problem remains. Do you understand?

Considering that the unification of religion and world must come from me, the question is what the Unification Church is trying to do today. The Unification Church is not just working for religion.

The Unification Church should achieve solidarity with the world, finding ways in which the religious foundation can cooperate with the social foundation, and also ways in which the world can seek the religious path, thereby bringing the two into oneness.

There is a big wall here, though, blocking the bringing of religion and society together. The wall stands blocking the individual, family, nation, country, world, and even the spirit world. You should know this.

So, how can we demolish this wall?

Where did the trouble start? Not from the world, but from the individual. What happened as a result of the individual going out of order?

Mind and body came apart and pursued their separate purposes. Then what is the problem here? It is how to converge different purposes into one, and then how to bring the mind and body into one.

God and Satan are at work. God is leading the providence of salvation for humankind, and Satan is working in opposition to God. God, on the side of goodness, is advancing daily towards the purpose of the ideal world, and Satan is opposing it and trying to turn it back.

At each borderline and wall, God says, “Turn to the right,” and Satan says, “Turn to the left.” This is how we are divided. On the worldwide level, the rightward pursuit resulted in the right wing, and the leftward movement the left wing.

Now we are faced with the historical age of the Last Days for the right wing and the left wing. The right and left wings represent the struggle of mind and body.

The question is how to bring this into one. Is it through the unity of world, country, tribe, and family that the individual is united? The beginning should be made by an individual. So, putting aside the world for a while, we should move towards unity within individuals. With religion and reality connected, we should discover the self that neither of them can deny.

The problem here, however, is that evil spirits are dominating the body. Evil spirits are rooted in my body, and good spirits are rooted in my mind. This way, the division of materialism and idealism comes.

As the time comes, sinners should confess their sins. Unity among people on Earth was influenced by the confrontation of good and evil spirits. Good and evil spirits are fighting on a worldwide level, although we do not feel that we are a part of it.

The Position of Spirit People in the Spirit World

Today, four billion people are living on earth, and yet in the spirit world, there are hundreds of billions of souls. So the question is how this world and the spirit world are connected. Are they connected through that which we consider valuable on earth, such as material, power structure, or knowledge?

It cannot be so. It is because the other world transcends material and knowledge. It transcends time and space so that yesterday's joy can be that of today, and today's joy can be that of tomorrow.

Hence, we can see that the other world is not moved by what we need and the value of the world of Earth. What is the center of value in the spirit world? This is important. Each of the spirit people belongs to a society of the spirit world. As on earth, the spirit world also has families, tribes, countries, and a world.

Everyone, regardless of who he is, will go to and live in the spirit world. Think about it. All kinds of people who have lived in human history are there, whether primitive or civilized.

Since human history has not been a history of peace, happiness, and the ideal, what will happen when they go to the spirit world?

This is curious. How are they to be treated? One cannot change his lifestyle so quickly in the other world. There is a saying that the habit of a three-year-old continues until he turns eighty.

Inborn personality is also difficult to change. So, are spirit people very different from the way we live?

It cannot be so. The lifestyle on Earth is transferred to the other world. After all, those living in the spirit world used to be souls of living individuals. So the spirit world is not so different from this world where we live. (141-268)

There are many kinds of histories in the spirit world. But spirit people cannot come here and work just as they wish. They are blocked from it. Unless a bridge is built through religion, only a few special people can return to Earth.

Suppose that factions are created in Judaism, and the point of connection moves here and there, creating confusion.

Spirit people are trying to come down from the spirit world, but the connecting line is not straight; when different factions of Judaism make their spiritual conditions, the line of connection moves here and there. From the spirit world, only those who are connected through a straight line can come down for returning resurrection.

One who is on earth will go to the spirit world after one century. If he wants to come down, he has to follow the same principle, and yet only a few special ones can come down.

This way, walls become more and more numerous in the spirit world, and it becomes more and more complicated. Afterward, the entire generation goes to the spirit world, and walls become bigger and bigger.

Now is a global age. Imagine how complicated it must be. Think how many times you must turn around and around to find this. So when the time comes, the walls must be brought down. In the spirit world, let us create the main road through which spirit people can come down.

Those who went this way cannot come here. Do you understand? So this is what the Unification Church will do. (102-29)

Those who went to the spirit world are all divided … In the spirit world, there is no horizontal communication, but only certain vertical communication. (218-125)

Spirit People Are More Numerous Than People on Earth

Everyone, do you know how big the spirit world is? Have you ever imagined what the population of the spirit world would be?

According to the spiritualist, there are about 3320 spirits for each living person. (laughter) If this number is all on our side, will we win or lose the fight against the world? Do those spirits fear bombs or cannons? (They do not.)

Likewise, if you do not fear bullets or atomic bombs, you will never lose. (Laughter) You will surely win. You have to transcend it. If you oppose this, I will let you go. I will jump back, and after you all go away, I will lock the door and claim ownership. (Laughter) After everyone leaves, I will lock the door. You should know that I have been fighting having such a thought.

Wandering Spirits

Those who are more pitiful than starving people are those who deny God. This is because those who are starving are still not beyond the standard and will be granted a certain level in the other world, while atheists have no standing because they deny the spirit world.

They wander around in the spirit world like clouds. They become wandering spirits. Just as clouds gather and produce rain, they get together and create an evil influence. They all go to hell and inflict pain in hell. Although I know all this clearly, I have to save them, and this is why I am doing this.

Next, those who die are a problem. Now, sixty thousand people die of hunger e in every day, and twenty million people die of hunger in one year in the world. When the parents, brothers and sisters, and children of the dying see them, their hearts are torn with pain and filled with tears.

If the so-called True Parents do not sympathize with them and prepare for their rescue, they will be accused by their contemporaries.

So with these thoughts in mind, I am trying to pave the way for solving the problem of world hunger through fish and ocean businesses. Although we have to suffer over and over, the Unification Church wants to stay closest to the problem and find the way, and for this purpose, we are making worldwide advertisements. This is why we made a TV center in Washington, D.C. We will also do fundraising for this.

Considering that people do not live longer than one hundred years, out of five billion people, fifty million go to the spirit world each year, even to hell. What can we do about this? God wants to harvest to His side what Satan has sown, but the longer it takes…

So far, during the past forty years, how many have gone to hell? Maybe a billion. This is serious. If I go to the spirit world, and they say, “When you were alive on earth, you did not do your responsibility for us, did you?” then how am I supposed to reply to them?

We should at least do it in thought. When I talk to the members at least in thought, and move on with the determination to take the responsibility for the future, they will say, “You are a wonderful person. You had concern for us.” (213-355)

Discrimination of Spirits Is Done By the Mind

Let me tell you one thing. No ordinary people in the world would know the taste of water that you drink after working with sweat with a serious heart. How is the taste? It cannot be compared with cola or honey water.

It has a different taste every time you drink it. Do you understand me? You should be able to discover such things; otherwise, you cannot develop spiritual sensitivity. If you can feel such things, your ears will become very sensitive and be able to hear what is being said from far away.

You will be able to analyze things. Even with closed eyes, you will be able to perceive who is passing by and whether he is a good or bad person. Spiritual sense will come to you.

Without understanding this, you cannot discriminate between good and evil spirits. You should know this. You know not by seeing but through the mind. The mind's eyes are at a higher level than your physical eyes. Do you understand?

Why am I telling you this? It is because you have a long way ahead. You should know this. Do not be over-confident. This is why it says in the Bible, “Blessed are those whose hearts are poor, for they will receive all.” It is the same principle; it all connects. (96-170)

Value of Life On Earth

We know that for thousands of years, countless people have been accusing Adam and Eve. Now you are becoming new ancestors. Will you be ancestors who will be accused by your descendants or ancestors of Blessing, who will be glorified?

You are standing at the crossroads of the two. Adam and Eve are accused because they failed to stand in a public position; surely, they would be free from accusation today if they had followed a sacrificial and more public path.

You should know that you are standing in such a place. You should always be thinking that you are representing three eras.

For this reason, you should know that the spirit world is in your hands and that your ancestors are at your mercy. When you follow, this happens. (Father writes on the board.) If we gather everything that is hanging here, put the two together, and lead them, they will come running.

We should do the mission of the past, present, and future. This is not just words, but reality. So everything is in your hands: the spirit world, relatives, country, and even the task of setting the right tradition for your descendants. You should always keep this in mind.

Whether you do it well or not will determine whether your ancestors and relatives will be liberated and whether your descendants can be considered as chosen people of liberation. (56-76)

God had been trying to hit the target for 6,000 years, and yet unsuccessfully; after trying for tens of thousands of years, He finally hit the target. (applause) The time of the strike was when God was most tired and exhausted. At that moment, however, would God doze off or stay powerless?

When God was so exhausted and sleepy, He perked up and shot again with a clear mind. After the shooting, would He fall with fatigue? [He will be happy.] Forgetting about keeping up His reputation, God would exclaim, “Wow,” with joy. (cheering applause)

How amazed would the spirit world be? How amazed the angelic world would be, saying, “Gee, the archangel's mistake put God in trouble, and now…” The spirit world had for tens of thousands of years been wishing for the target to be hit, and when this target was struck, wouldn't they say, “Wow”? Think about it.

If there is a wonderful place, would people all over the world try to come in or not, even if the entrance fee may be ten thousand dollars? [They would.] Suppose all kinds of people have been coming in there without being able to see the moment of the strike, and finally, a beggar comes in with begged and borrowed money and witnesses God striking the target. What would the beggar do? Would he start dancing there or not? [He would dance.]

Then, God would be excited and become proud. Wouldn't He say, “Oh, it is hit, it is hit? Is there anyone around?” When God sees this beggar then, would He say, “You, damn beggar,” or dance around with him?

So, after the day of the meeting, how would God walk? This way? (Father demonstrates and laughs.) Would he say, “Why is this Fifth Avenue so narrow?” or “Oh, the road is expansive”? Think about it. Would things happen like this or not? [They would.]

Ancestors and Ourselves

1. Ancestors Are Looking Upon Us

When you go to the spirit world, would your ancestors come to you or not? [They would.] They will say, “Wow, our descendants joined the Unification Church and met Reverend Moon.” There, the palace and royal

Family of Heaven will start. There has been no palace in heaven so far. Between the descendants who are simple-minded and do what I say and the descendants who try to be smart and evade me like eels, whom would they praise?

Would they praise those descendants who act like turtles or like rabbits?

[Those who act like turtles.] They would praise those who act like turtles. Rabbits sleep on the way, saying, “Oh, I am already here.” Rabbits urinate often. [Laughter] I don't know about turtles. I have not seen them urinate. Rabbits urinate on the way after a short while and again after a short while. Why? To mark their territories so that others cannot come in.

So we should be like turtles. Those who do what they are told to do and who move on day and night and regardless of seasons, will be welcomed everywhere. The ancestors in the other world are looking at your life. There is no place to hide. Your ancestors are all watching.

When you go to the spirit world, you can see through walls and even the entire earth. We should live in such a world eternally. We are created as God's objects of love, so as long as God is eternal, the object of love should also be eternal.

So we are eternal as God is. Without being an object of love, there is no eternal life. You should know this. Go and see whether it is so or not.

In the other world, who goes to the highest place? Those who wish it were possible to be born again tens of thousands of years, serving humanity as God does and, consoling God, go nearest to God – those who cry to use for humanity whatever good things they have. Isn't it so?

When grandparents come close to the time of death, they pass on all the good things to their children, don't they? In our lives, we should say that we will leave something precious behind for humanity, just as grandparents give over to their descendants all they have worked on. (2I3-I96)

We Should Be Better Than Our Ancestors

In this house, where your ancestors have lived and where your grandparents and you were born, if you leave behind here love that is even greater than that of your great-grandparents, it produces the luster of love for heaven.

Hundreds of millions of volts of light will shine forth. This light goes to the hometown. It goes up through the ancestors, and to the spirit world, centering on God. This heaven is the original home, with Go as the original gatherer.

Adam and Eve are God's incarnation. Adam and Eve are horizontal parents, and God is vertical; hence, people who discarded their horizontal bodies and vertically reached Heaven were to attend Adam and Eve as eternal monarchs.

Who is the king? If Adam and Eve had not fallen, they would have perfected themselves as God's incarnation and connected with love the direct and indirect dominions on earth, thereby becoming monarchs of love.

Then God would live in Adam's mind, and Adam's spirit would embody God; they would be one. They would share God's love and human love eternally and breathe it together. Thus, we should receive God's love and try to come close to the original love of the ancestors, Adam and Eve; this is the eternal spiritual path leading to the other world. (213-190)

We Should Visit Our Ancestors' Graves

Are your grandparents alive? [They are deceased.] Then, you should visit their graves and serve them as if God were buried in the grave. Korean people cry out loud in times of death. This is to repent for not having served the grandparents well when alive and to resolve the sorrow.

When you follow me and realize the great Principle of Heaven, you will understand these things. We should make the serving efforts until we are recognized by God, and our grandfather sends a message that it is now enough, okay?

At the time of harvest, you should not forget about your grandparents. You should visit and serve them earnestly in each of the four seasons. So try it. Then people will say that although you seemed to have become a monster after joining the Unification Church, you have become a royal child.

You should serve your parents better than any king serves his parents. Don't you wish that your parents were aware? Your heart desires that your parents are higher than kings. All this is allowed. You should keep the royal norms and serve your parents so that they are happier than any kings in the world; then you will qualify as royal children.

Then, your parents will praise you whenever they open their mouths. Ancestors and descendants will all praise, so the realm of unification will be realized, centering on parents.

Unification will occur centering on parents, centering on grandparents, and then for all grandchildren, children, parents, and the whole world. This becomes the foundation to thoroughly spread the seed of unification. It will be as if we were dreaming. (220-350)

Now Cain has been subjugated and the eldership restored about the three generations: grandparents, parents, and elder brother; hence, a grandchild will be attended as an ancestor at the levels of eldership, Parentship, and kingship.

As this great upheaval and 180-degree turn occurs, in which the child is attended as parent and the younger brother is attended as elder brother, hell also turns around to the heavenly direction. You should know this.

So, you should go to your hometowns and gain the 160 families. From your hometowns, bring them to speeches and have them sign the membership form.

When the eldest descendant, who is the root of the lineage, recommends it, then all other descendants should follow.

So gather all the 160 families and hold a party where you can proclaim the Unification Church. They should pledge to follow the royal children's command and inaugurate them at the ancestors' grave. You should say,

“Through the True Parents, we have become ancestors to inherit a new lineage, and a tribe of liberation and blessing. Our tribe will be eternally unchanging descendants of God.” Then, you will be eternally separated from Satan.

So, the Unification Church allows honoring ancestors. Do you understand? [Yes] Does Christianity allow this? [No] The Unification Church has to establish this tradition. This is not a secular tradition.

This brings about a royal land where we can eternally attend heavenly ancestors, clan, and tribal messiahs in the mainstream of the providence. It will be a land where we can attend the king and sing songs of peace eternally. Do you understand it? You and your tribe can go to the Kingdom of Heaven only after having lived in such a country. (220-222)

Ancestors We Can Meet

You should know what your house is like. Your house is exemplary of all the houses where people live in their lives on earth. Furthermore, it is exemplary for the spirit world. Those who have lived in such a house can naturally go to their original homeland.

There will be no conflict when meeting grandparents or anyone else. They will all say, “Hey, you came!” In that place, your ancestors of thousands of generations are all there.

Will there be ancestors in hell or not?

They are staying at different levels. Those who lived for the sake of others go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

So family harmony starts with you. If you serve and serve in the family, and if you can do this at least three times, grandparents will be able to realize their shortcomings.

How many times did Moses try to serve in Egypt?

Seven, eight, even more than twelve times, he tried to serve. When you try to serve, and yet they do not receive you, then God will guide you. He brings to fruition in other places what you have invested in one place through serving.

So those who live a serving life like God's, although they may be persecuted and opposed on earth, will live in the original land of God, just as the Israelites entered Canaan after the wilderness.

So, have you served grandmothers with white hair? God is white. Snow gathers in high mountains, right? God is clean. So the head knows this. Furthermore, did the grandmother serve her parents-in-law? She should serve her parents-in-law in such a way that when they die, they will say, “I will prepare to receive you in the other world just as you have served me.” (213-182)

The Coming of the Spiritual New Age

1. Coming of Age of Extrasensory Perception

The age of extrasensory perception is coming, and then there will be no one who cannot communicate with the spirit world. The time when people attack people is over, and spirits will be attacking the earth.

Now Satan and evil spirits are attacking, but there will be a time when good spirits will also attack. I am doing this to pave the way for that. When we think about parents' attitudes towards children, it is so wonderful to have parents who can serve children with loving hearts.

Everyone, we have come this far now. This path cannot be avoided, regardless of what kind of opposition we face. What if you have to walk the way alone? Where would you go when you are lost in the desolate spirit world? Do you have a nationality?

Where do people without nationality go?

Do you have a house? Where do you go? The world becomes most fearful. There will be Satan and good angels, yet when you are standing on Satan's side, good angels will not come.

So when you wake up after death, you will find out that there is a spirit world, but what if Satan drags you away? There will be a great commotion, people pushing others to go first. So, if you think about this, can you get any sleep? It is an inevitable course. Reverend Moon is serious about such things.

What will happen after death?

When I go to the spirit world, such and such people will come to me. I have made all the arrangements. Do you understand? I know the secrets of Confucius, Buddha, and Jesus.

Understanding the miserable heart of Jesus, I say to him, “Didn't you die because of such and such?” and he says, “Surely. How do you, Reverend Moon of the Unification Church, know it?” This is why I can be a friend of Jesus.

You or Christians may call Jesus, “Lord, Lord,” but I don't; we are friends. They call me a heretic because I say this kind of thing. But wait and see who is a heretic. You should prepare before you go, do you understand? I am doing this because I know very well that when I go to the spirit world, there will be a big commotion.

If you cannot believe this, pray and find out for yourself. This is why I am following this path, although it is hard. How about you? Where will you go? Are you ready? If you say to me at the time of death, “Alas, I ask for your favor, for I am now going to the spirit world,” then it is too late. Preparation cannot be made then, but only while you are on earth. (61-327)

We Entered A New Age Through the Declaration of the Day of the Victory of Heaven

Centering on Jesus, Jesus is formation, the twelve disciples are growth, and the seventy-two elders are completion, the three stages. If you cannot do this, you cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven. Originally, you can receive the Blessing only after doing this. Then Jesus can be married.

When your entire family joins our church, with grandparents, parents, and grandchildren competing to come along, even running on top of one another, then the three stages will be completed; namely, eighty-four people.

Once your ancestors of tens of thousands of generations… The age is coming when the spirit world can return to the earth. The organization on earth can structure the organization in the spirit world, and they become one.

Such a wonderful phenomenon happens. Imagine how overjoyed the spirit world will be. Hence, now the age of victory of religion and the spirit world has come. (96-251, Jan. 22, 78)

Now, please pray, and your command will be honored: “By Father's words, on this Day of Heavenly Victory, October 4th, your good spirits, please come and lead the evil spirits on earth to Heaven through your virtuous embrace.” Such an age is coming. Why? We live in the age of Adam, and spirits live in the realm of angels, and they have to move because, by the Principle, angels are to assist Adam. (89-113)

The spiritual and mental world is very much a realm of unification. If you say, “I miss so-and-so,” and wait for twenty-four hours, this person will come. This is realized. When you focus, he appears. This is like sending electric waves. Then, because he has the mind that works like a receiver, for no reason, he becomes curious about you and feels the desire to come.

Unification Ceremony and Spiritual Assistance

What is the significance of True Parents' birthday?

On February 1st, in the lunar calendar, I did the so-called Unification Ceremony. You or ordinary believers may not know what this ceremony is. Look. In the course of restoration, you should perfect the individual, family, tribe, and nation, and they must be connected vertically. Do you understand this?

I made accomplishments on earth at the levels of individual, family, tribe, people, and nation, but it was not yet connected to the spirit world. Nor was it connected to the families of the Unification Church.

Although the road was paved, this road must be connected with the spirit world and then to the physical world. Only then could the Unification Ceremony start.

When could the Unification Ceremony start?

Since Christianity is global and has been developing mainly through democratic countries, unification is possible only when there is a worldwide foundation; without such a foundation, the unification at one level cannot be connected to other levels.

Until now, we could only aim at the global level from the national level, but we could not determine it or fix it. Do you understand what I say? But now, through the foundation I made in America, we can make the connection. Now is the time when the nation and the world are connected. And the global level is linked to the level of the spirit world.

In the spirit world, Korean and Japanese spirits were not connected, for instance. Spirits with different nationalities were connected only to their countries, and thus we could not mobilize the whole as a unified force. Do you understand this? Until there is a resolution on Earth, the spirit world must be disordered?

Furthermore, in the spirit world, enemies would fight and create troubles, Koreans and Japanese, and Japanese and Chinese, for instance. So we were trying to reconcile them.

For this reason, we have done a Ceremony for Entire Liberation on March 1st, 1975, a ceremony to forgive and liberate the whole. This opens the way to forgive even Satan. Do you understand this?

Through this ceremony, enemies cannot treat each other as enemies but must forgive them. For me, Satan is my enemy, and after forgiving Satan, there is no more enemy, for God does not consider him the enemy, either. Now is the time when this is unified. What will happen if the physical world and the spirit world become one?

What is the Fall?

It is a separation between the physical and spiritual worlds and between God, on the one hand, and Adam and Eve, on the other. It is a breach of heart between Adam and Eve.

Hence, with the spiritual and physical worlds unified, if the supranational structure of the Unification Church develops centering on family, tribe, people, nation, and world, this can form the worldwide realm of unification. Do you understand this? [Yes]

Now it is not possible to do this in America. Korea is a tire central country; in Korea, through establishing foundations of individual, family, tribe, people, and nation, we have advanced towards the world. This is why I came to Korea in such a hurry.

So, after the Unification Ceremony, I realized that my birthday this year is historic. Do you understand? [Yes] Why historic? Those spirits had never had a chance to attend the True Parents' Birthday, nor did they qualify to celebrate it. Furthermore, all the people on earth were without the privilege to celebrate it. It was because the spiritual and physical foundations were not joined.

Now, however, with such privilege being provided spiritually and physically, the spirit world moves to restore descendants. From the Principal's standpoint, ancestors are in the archangel's position, and descendants are in Adam's position.

As the archangel assisted in the creation of Adam, spirits are united and assist in the re-creation of Adam on earth. The time of ancestral intervention is coming. You should understand the Principle. To those who hear this for the first time, it may sound like a dream.

For this reason, this day, when the True Parents come to Korea to celebrate their birthday, is a day of opening another historic epoch. In other words, countless spirits in the other world come with the privilege to participate in the creation.

So we did the ceremony in the headquarters, okay? [Yes] Through this, we move to the era in which ancestor as archangels can re-create as Adam their descendants who do not know the Unification Church yet, just as God created Adam with archangel's assistance. Thus, people all over the world can receive the privilege to celebrate the True Parents' birthday. Do you understand? [Yes]

Ceremony of One Heart and Assistance of Ancestors

I have become the head of the Moon clan, not through coercion but through their desire to attend to me. I met this organization, the Association for Finding the Family Root, for the first time.

Through this meeting, the heads of clans got together and presented me as the parent of Korea. To do such a thing, this ceremony is inevitable.

The position of True Parents is not just for Koreans but for the whole of humanity and all the ancestors. They should have gone to the spirit world as descendants of True Parents, but could not because of the Fall.

The earth is in Abel's position, and so by following Abel's example, as Abel worked to restore the eldership, the spirit world could receive liberation. Since the world on earth has restored the Eldership, the spirit world has to support us. So be strong and courageous, for the way of Heaven is before us.

So, through the Ceremony of One Heart, we determine this clearly and announce it. Do you understand?

You don't know spiritual things, right?

This way, your good ancestors can help us through the heads of the tribes. This is connected to the Earth. This world and the spirit world have had different points of view, and throughout fallen history, they have taken opposite courses. But how can this be overcome? Through true love. (190-314)

Returning Resurrection and Assistance of Spirits

1. Position of People in the Spirit World

The one who experiences in his life the heart of God, who is leading the providence with historical sorrow, will be unable to look at God without tears wherever he goes.

When he understands God's Will and struggles to become His child, and when he finds collaborators of the same heart, God will come and shed tears. Then, where does God's sorrow lie? It lies in this nation and world, and in all things, as well as in each of us.

We should eradicate this and restore God's joy. The center of our life is the self who can experience God's sorrow.

Then the question is whether I can move spirits to testify. The spirit world also requests this. Since the spirit world knows God's heart, if such a person makes such an appeal, spirit people are mobilized to help to realize the ideal of the heavenly kingdom. Why can't spirit people come down to earth? It is because the earth has become the wall of lamentation. (4-?0)

The place where you are standing is not where Adam fell. It is beyond that hill. In other words, now is the time when Adam can communicate directly and go straight towards one purpose. From this standpoint, the histories before and after the third seven-year course will be radically different.

Through the third seven-year course, evil force will go down, and good force will go up; thus, this course is the time when the spiritual and physical worlds cross. You should know this.

In the spirit world, there are good, neutral, and evil spirits. In the three-stage development, after the third seven-year course, good spirits will be able to communicate with the earth. It is inevitable.

Formation and growth stages are under satanic dominion, and thus evil spirits have led the way, and evil people have controlled the world. From no one, however, good spirits come down. So far, good and evil kept rising and falling, intermingling with each other, but now we enter the age in which good and evil are separated. (75-193)

When you go to the spirit world, you will find that some great figure in the New Testament, who was martyred, respected, and supposed to be in a lofty place, is actually in the most miserable place. Those who die with the thought that their death will bring them to the Kingdom of Heaven cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

The attitude of such people is like a madman who killed himself for the Kingdom of Heaven. But those who suffered and sacrificed, even if not martyred, to send others to the Kingdom of Heaven, turn out to be the ones in the Kingdom of Heaven. We should fix the fundamental root of faith.

Christianity caused much disaster because of wrong beliefs. Unification ideology is to remove this disaster. Even if we do not destroy it, it is destined to perish. Then, why do we have to destroy it quickly? It is because we must destroy it and rescue it before it perishes on its own and becomes deserted by God (64-110)

Among your ancestors, many went to hell. We should liberate them all. Since this is the way of Parents, you must follow it; it is your destiny to follow it to the end. The spirit world will help us through individual, familial, tribal, and national levels, thereby bringing unification. You should know this.

If we unify the world, we can unify the spirit world automatically. Evil spirits have been coming down before good spirits. This is why there is the phenomenon of neurosis among people on Earth. You don't know this, but now evil spirits are all down on earth, attacking the human world.

With the coming of the age of ideological confusion centering on democracy and Communism, evil spirits come down and cause chaos of body and spirit. When good spirits come down to earth, however, they expand and start occupying the evil spirits' areas on earth.

When good spirits occupy the earth, there is no place for evil spirits to go, and they will have to surrender. When Satan comes to the earth and surrenders, evil spirits also surrender. So in the Last Days, we should restore even Satan. (54-228)

Mobilization of the Spirit World and Spiritual Assistance

In witnessing, you should witness even when it does not go well. Again and again. It is like throwing stones in the sea. You keep doing it until the stones fill the seas and form a mountain.

What happens, then? You grow in shimjeong. Although the body does not change, shimjeong grows. You get up early in the morning and pray in tears for the village for which you are responsible. This is.

The way of shimjeong and touching the spirit world. You feel that when God looks upon this village, He cannot help shedding tears because they are all destined to hell, and you shed tears for God.

When you create a powerful resonance by shedding tears for God, he entire spirit world will be mobilized. You should be able to inspire God with your tears so that He thanks you and considers you better than Adam and Eve. Otherwise, you cannot touch the spirit world.

Only when God says in tears, “' As betrayers' descendants, how can you be so good!” will the spirit world come to your assistance? That is the point where the spirit world starts to open; anything below that standard absolutely will not work. This is the Principle. (96-262)

Everyone, do you like going to the spirit world? Between your desire to go to the spirit world and the desire of spirit people to return to earth, which should be stronger? [Spirits'] From the standpoint of the Principle, which should be stronger?

The spirit world is the archangelic world, and this world is a world of Adam, Eve, and children. Should children be more eager or servants? Are you supposed to help the spirit world, or is the spirit world supposed to help you? [Spirit world should help] They are waiting to help, but why are they still waiting?

Would they help you in building the heavenly kingdom on earth or in trying to live comfortably? [To build the heavenly kingdom] (161-227)

As I say, the spirit world must be mobilized. Otherwise, how can we create the heavenly kingdom? [We cannot] The heavenly kingdom is supposed to start from True Parents and not from fallen descendants.

As the angelic world assisted at the time of Adam, the spirit world should return to earth and assist with re-creation. Isn't this the Principle of Resurrection? It will be considered true when it is realized in reality. (162-115)

Am I driving you into suffering because I hate you or because I want to save you? You should know that it is for your sake to save you. Understand that your suffering is for your salvation, and you should be grateful.

Then the new world of heavenly shimjeong will unfold before you. This is the right order. So once you possess heartistic ties, you can fly anywhere and day and night according to heavenly commands. If you are determined to take responsibility and lead the world like a locomotive, then the spirit world will help you. If you think this way, the spirit world will surely help. (96-279)

When you undertake the responsibility for the nation, you should be able to say things such as the following: “In carrying out the individual, familial, ethnic, and national mission in the Unification Church, I will faithfully stick with the fortunes of this church. I am a branch of the Unification Church that is growing with the power of the church.

Therefore, the word of the Unification Church is my word, the personality of the Unification Church is my personality, and the shimjeong of the Unification Church is my shimjeong.”

Then, you will develop wherever you are as the Unification Church does. If you keep up the pace with the Unification Church through such a standard, good spirits and ancestors who used to move along with the national fortune will work for you.

Your physical appearance may be ugly, but the spirit world sees you as a prince. Especially, your ancestors within ten generations are anxious, for the history of restoration is realized centering on ten generations. But when an evil descendant appears, ancestors within ten generations judge him lest he ruin them.

For this reason, if someone here has good ancestors, they will be actively supported by them. When you fight and win every battle, the spirit world will rejoice. Then you will scare away evil spirit people.

Your ancestors will serve you as king. You should be able to feel such things. We should prepare our foundation with a heart that refuses to defile heavenly tradition and with dignity. You should pray about what kind of condition you will establish. Now is a blessed time. (34-20)

Spirit World and Ancestors

When I see someone's face, I can usually tell if he has good or bad ancestors. Some people have good ancestors and receive blessings, whereas others have bad ancestors and suffer all the time. Such people will only suffer when they witness in their mission places. (37-144)

When your personality has a certain shortcoming, listen to the kind of testimony that can supplement your personality. Listen to many experiences. When you hear them, do not criticize, for criticizing means deciding between the heavenly side and Satan's side. Do you understand?

Criticizing is like a cancer in your development. Once you are on Satan's side, you cannot just come to God's side, and once you are on God's side, you cannot go to Satan's side. In our lives, we cannot just go on a straight line but on a zigzag path. I inherit elements from both good and evil ancestors, and these elements influence my actions. So criticism is dangerous. This is the reason criticism is prohibited. (date unknown)

If you possess true love, you can join God's party any time. You can see thousands of ancestors and spirits because you can transcend time and space. Only those who have the heart of true love can manage and transcend all this.

The only way to inherit everything from God as God's equal is through love. If a man of true love just passes by, slightly touching me, I will be pleased. Everyone will welcome him. The other world is like this, so you should be trained here, do you understand?

Why am I teaching this? It is to create a person who can breathe in the heavenly world and follow its beats. You should be able to dance to the beat. I am eventually going to the spirit world, right? Satan cannot follow me in the spirit world. (147-?)

We should be one by receiving the true spirit from God. To achieve a complete unity, we should start with the original subject and then, through this, become able to move the body; otherwise, unity is incomplete.

For Unification members, the spirit world is a living reality because when they go astray on their own, for example, the spirit world stops them and helps them put things in order. This is a wonderful thing. A Unification member is connected to his good ancestors through mind and body; they prevent the body from going in the evil direction and push it in the good direction. (162-104)

If there were True Parents who governed everything – true family, true society, true country, and true world – how wonderful this world would be. But this is not such a world. Why has this world become like this? Because of the Fall, right?

From the standpoint of the Principle, it started with a wrong motivation and has continued thus. The simplest way, then, would be to say, “I can simply get by, and what is the need for regret?

Then I don't need to have any kind of high purpose. It has been like this so far, and I should accept the way things are and live on. How long can I live, anyway? I may live for 70 or 80 years, and that will be it for me. So what's the need for painful worries and toils?”

If your life just ended in this world, how simple it would be. If this life were all there is, then I also should have packed my bag and left. But man lives eternally. You don't have so much spiritual experience, but you can meet all the ancestors, including Adam, in the spirit world.

You, elder man, do you want to live long? [Why so long?] Do you want to live long or die quickly? [I want to die soon) Do you want to die soon? [Yes] Then if I strike you with a sword, would you say, “Oh, thank you”? (laughter) [How can we die like this?] But you need this if you want to die quickly, don't you? [But I should die according to my destiny]

Elder woman, you would run away instantly if a car drove at you on the road, right? (laughter) We have a protective instinct, which makes us act even without a thought.

Does the mind get old or not? [Mind does not get old] How about the body? [The body gets old.] Why does the body age when the mind does not? When you are treated like an old man, you are not happy. If you are not treated as the same generation, how disappointed you must be? (159-277)

When you go to the spirit world, you will meet countless saints and ancestors and talk with them. They will ask you where you came from and how you lived, just as friends share their life stories.

When your great ancestors ask you, “Hey, you, where did you come from?” would you protest them for using rough language?

Or, are they entitled to use such language because they are your great-grandfathers?

Christians bow down and pray until they hurt their forehead, just to meet Jesus. Even when Jesus appears, however, would they be happy if Jesus kept using rough language to them? (148-321)

Hope of Spirit People

When our Unification Church members have a sincere, loving heart to make Parents happy at least once in their lives, they can resonate with the other world. You all want to love me, right?

How long have I been speaking?

For almost four hours. But has anyone at least prepared any bread for my lunch? Is there anyone who tries to offer at least spiritual bread, or one who prepares bread with a thought that he will be grateful even if I throw it away to the birds without eating it?

What would spirit people think?

Would they want to bring something to me every day and see me eat something from it? Who would be more eager, you or the spirit people? Would spirit people be more eager? [Yes] That is true. You do not know, but spirit people know. They know what will happen in the future.

You don't know anything, but the other world knows clearly. So they know how they can serve me. All five senses feel a stimulating power from me. You have not been able to feel this so far, but now you will be able to feel this when you are connected with me. (207-98)

Returning Resurrection and Rebirth

1) Returning Resurrection

Just as spirits of good ancestors at the time of Jesus could rise from the form-spirit level to the life-spirit-level spirit world, your ancestors have a special privilege to return through you. Do you understand this? When you understand this and become victorious, your ancestors will help you.

This way, you should be a foundation through which your ancestors of thousands of generations can return. In the time of Jesus, the spirit world helped conditionally for the sake of life-spirit-level resurrection, but now they help unconditionally for the sake of divine-spirit-level resurrection.

So now is a time of great blessing. Do you understand it? In other words, the spirit world is helping. (14-21)

Our present church is too large. At the time of the Chung-pa Dong old headquarters church, when I kicked someone out through one door, he would enter through another door, hiding behind a chair until I went upstairs, and when I disappeared, he would come out and pray through the whole night.

We have this kind of history, rights? After this, he would come here like this to see my face before he left. It is surely crazy, right? Both you and I. Isn't this why we are famous in the world? [We are super together] No, I am not crazy, you rascals. (laughter)

If both of us are crazy, then who can take out the feces and urine? What if both of us urinate? (laughter) You are crazy, but I am not. If I were crazy like you, then the Unification Church would not have survived.

In such chaos, I have been able to steer the way.

How much did the world try to kill me and uproot the Unification Church?

It was because I was not crazy that we could steer our way through all this. I have tied a rope high up with God according to the way of heaven. Petty folks, however, try to hook it within a narrow range, in vain.

This created wars between churches and countries, bringing countries to ruin. The Unification Church victoriously overcame its war with Christian churches, political parties, democratic and Communist worlds. How? From far away.

When the rope is hanging from high up, they cannot undo it with their strength. Can they cut off the Unification Church? Whether it is philosophy, religion, or the spirit world, no one can be our match.

In America, there is a spiritualist association, and its head is Arthur Ford. He heard about Reverend Moon from Asia. Our missionaries do not visit person by person. They bring Divine Principle books to people who have spiritual communication and tell them, “Please check what kind of book this is. I will come back in a week.” When the missionaries go back in a week, people say, “Oh, master, please come.” (208-195)

We should offer sacrifices to God with a theoretical and practical foundation that is enough to subjugate the spirit world. This ceremony of sacrifice was today's pledge service (Nov. 17, 1990). Do you understand it? At Han-nam Dong house, I prayed that since the time has come, the current that has been flowing in reverse through heaven and earth now flows in the right way.

Since Heaven has restored the eldership, all the existing second sons and the second sons to be born in the future are under God's rule. So, after the restoration of the Eldership, the era of the second son comes, and heavenly law cannot allow the devil to have a performing stage. This is a logical conclusion. Do you understand this?

All the spirits have abused Abel on earth, just as the first elder son murdered and victimized the second son; however, now that we have the eldership, we can control even the spirit world.

Now they must help us to receive the Blessing. The more they oppose, the deeper they fall into a pit. Heavenly fortune is changing rapidly. Wait and see in the future. I do not like saying such things, but it is inevitable.

Those who communicated with petty spirits spoke against going to the Unification Church. But now, Buddha, Jesus, Confucius, and Muhammad must teach people to go to the Unification Church; otherwise, they would be judged by heavenly law. Why? It is because Reverend Moon's religion is the parents' religion. (208-154)

Questions and Answers about the Principle of Rebirth

(Father answers questions: March 26, 1972, Essen church, Germany)

Question: Through what foundation did the Principle of Rebirth come into being in Asia?

The theory that is prevalent in Asia is not the Principle of Rebirth but the theory of reincarnation. Reincarnation is a Buddhist doctrine. Spirit people desire that they receive privileges through people on earth.

This is the request of the spirit people. The state of human beings before the Fall was such that they could dominate the angelic world and cosmos. They fell because of the Fall, and so they must go back up to the original level. In going up, however, they cannot go all at once but through stages; through the stages, they must now restore individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, and cosmos.

Originally, human beings should go to this world (Father points to what he wrote on the board). But there is no one-step road to this world; you must pioneer each stage and proceed through the stages of individual, family, tribe, and nation.

(Father writes on the board) From this perspective, in God's providence, those who died before the Old Testament Age, which is a providential age for saving individuals, desire to enter this age and receive the privilege. Going through each stage inevitably requires indemnity. Here, indemnity must be paid, as in the case of Cain and Abel.

In other words, suppose a spirit person A has been helping through different Ages up to now to go to the next stage. However, he still cannot pass over freely, but only by establishing a condition for indemnity. It cannot be done in a day or two, and requires some Principled number, for instance, 7 years, 40 years, 70 years, or a few centuries.

Thus, since this spirit person, who has been helping, here (Father prints what he wrote on the board), cannot continue to go up before the period of indemnity is over, he goes back to the spirit world.

This spirit hopes that the first man on earth he is working with can complete the foundation, but if that one fails to complete the indemnity condition within the period and dies, the spirit person chooses another man and tries to return to him.

For instance, if the spirit person is Paul, in an attempt to go up through each stage, if the first man he returns to fails to complete the indemnity condition within the given period and dies, he returns to another man and helps him. Indemnity is necessary.

According to the Principle, indemnity is not completed in a short time. For this reason, if the second man does not fulfill the indemnity, a third man is chosen for the return resurrection. S,o eventually, Paul returns to the third man. The second man will say that he is working with Paul's assistance.

Likewise, the third man in the next age will also say that he is working with Paul's assistance and even that he is himself Paul. This way, it looks as if Paul's spirit appeared in the second man and again in the third man.

Looking at such a phenomenon, people come up with the theory of reincarnation; it is because they do not see the whole picture. This is the same in this age until the age of the world and the universe. (Father writes on the board.)

An original man comes to live under God's direct dominion, apart from Satan's rule, and yet even he lives in the fallen realm due to the Fall. To get away from it, he must pay individual indemnity, family indemnity…

Without this, he cannot come out. Spirit people appear in each age through the rule of returning resurrection, and so each stage looks like a phenomenon of reincarnation.

The same applies to you. If you have faith but die before marriage, you have to go through the stages of family, tribe, people, nation, and world. For this reason, you cannot tell how many hundreds of millions of years it might take.

It could be almost infinity. Jesus could not go beyond the limits of the nation, and so he had to come back and help at the stage of the nation; only through this can he go to the Kingdom of Heaven. He is now in Paradise, and the rule applies even to him.

When Jesus comes to someone and guides them, the person claims that he is Jesus. From this, it appears that Jesus was born again, which gives rise to the theory of reincarnation. Do you understand this? (Yes)

You should understand the spirit world clearly. Human beings, who are supposed to live in God's dominion of goodness, are living in the fallen realm, and they must come away from it. This is why such things happen. Jesus did it spiritually. Christianity has been doing it spiritually also, do you understand? Is there a question about this?

From this perspective, the Unification Principle of Resurrection conforms exactly to the spiritual facts. In other words, the Principle of Resurrection teaches you the spiritual formula.

So far, countless religious people have experienced such things but have not understood them clearly. When you hear this Principle, however, do not just learn it as a theory, but you must practice it in your life and achieve victory; otherwise, I will not teach you this.

In other words, instead of stopping at learning about Noah's family, Abraham's family, Jacob's family, Moses, John the Baptist, and Jesus, we should try to pay indemnity to all these figures and establish a victorious foundation.

I will teach you when such a foundation is established. In other words, we cannot carry out God's Will unless we turn our defeat by Satan into victory. The providential figures such as Noah, Abraham, Jacob, and Moses did not know this.

The coming Christ, however, must indemnify the failures at the levels of individual, family, tribe, people, and nation. He is the representative who knows this all and can put it into effect until the ideal world is found.

You should know that without his doing this, we cannot realize it. What will happen if you meet the Messiah and follow him? When you meet him at the time, he is perfected through the ages of individual, family, tribe, people, and nation, you will also receive the benefits of the ages of individual, family, tribe, and people, and continue up to the national level.

When someone at the individual age wants to go up to the family age through the Messiah, he has to pay an indemnity on earth, just as spirit people do. Furthermore, to go from the family age to the tribe age, he has to pay an indemnity. This means that the longer one has stayed in the Unification Church, the more indemnity he has paid; the longer he has been here, the closer he is to me.

The way up to the age of the nation is a vertical path, and the national system should be determined here. If you do not continue to go up in this process, however, you can fall away.

It is because spiritual phenomena are such that no matter how high you go up, the same phenomenon occurs because of indemnity. Indemnity blocks your way. This is why it is easy to fall away.

When you fail here, you will lose everything. Although the nation of Israel and Judaism waited for the Messiah for 2,000 years, all the foundations collapsed as Jesus died without completing his mission. (Father writes on the board.) For this reason, you should know that many people have made sacrifices in the up-and-down fluctuation.

This happens to the mainstream of God's providence, and yet it also happens to many nations around the world as side-streams. Through this, indemnity is paid throughout the world. In other words, as it goes up as the mainstream like this, other people around the world take either conforming positions or opposing positions and pay indemnity. (Father writes on the board.)

Things are organized through such indemnity. You should know that for this reason, many religions have made sacrifices in following the providential course.

How do spirit people and religious people on earth go beyond this level, which has been the highest goodness?

In other words, the question is how the national level can be transcended. This is the Messiah; the Messiah seeks after this. (Father writes on the board.) Since Messiah knows the method for indemnity, when people unite with him, their indemnity period will be short.

When a nation is established and settled with the Messiah, all the individuals will belong there. If a nation paid an indemnity, the family, tribe, people, and nation would go up to the world level. Considering this, you should think about how fast world restoration will be if one nation is found.

We can go beyond Paradise only when we establish a nation. Paradise is like a waiting room before going to the Kingdom of Heaven. If errors remain that were committed by Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Jacob as they take the courses of restoration, they must all be indemnified.

Without indemnity, horizontal development cannot happen. From this standpoint, we can see how important a nation is. If we have a nation, we do not fall away. For instance, how much are foreigners cared for by the German government?

If they do something wrong, they are kicked out. When they have no nationality, however, where can they go? When such people are killed, they still have no place to appeal.

In a satanic nation, we are people's enemies. Believers of God are their enemies, so how much do they hate and persecute us in their nation? Furthermore, even if they kick us out or kill us, we have no place to appeal our case. Thus, since the nation is important, God comes looking for a nation.

For this reason, in finding a nation, you should pay indemnity for the individual, family, tribe, people, and nation. You should follow the individual, familial, tribal, and national indemnity courses.

Otherwise, there is no road to the world. Since the nation is the center, each nation must go through the central nation. If you die without restoring a nation, you can only return to the earth to support individuals and families, unable to work with proud authority. You are not qualified as a fighter for occupying the satanic world.

Thus, you can enter only with a nation. Have you entered? Although you have entered into the Unification Church, you have not entered God's unified nation. Can you be a people without a nation? No. Do you understand this? [Yes]

Hence, all the spirit people hope to assist the people of this nation. If you are only in this nation, resurrection will occur horizontally. Since it occurs horizontally, the foundation you work for will remain with you.

But before finding this nation, however much indemnity you pay, you will lose it all if you make a mistake. You may build up from the bottom, and yet if you slip off on the way, everything will crumble down to nothing.

When this is being done on a horizontal level, however, what you have worked for will remain eternally.

In other words, during restoration, you will lose your investment through indemnity; when a nation is found, and we work horizontally, however, your efforts will remain as your accomplishment, rather than disappearing as indemnity. (54-227)
