The Words of True Parents from 2003 |
Hoon Dok Hae - Foundation Day for the Nation of the Unified World Sun Myung Moon
October 3, 2003
Hammerstein Ballroom
Manhattan Center
New York
Pledge. True Parents entered with True Family. True Father and Mother stood in the center and offered a short prayer before heaven and earth declaring that all Blessed Central Families are now representatives of God.
True Parents offered Kyung Beh to Heavenly Father. Then True Family offered Kyung Beh. Then representatives of all providential nations, continents, religions and spirit world and physical world.
The first Foundation Day was in 1988.
Hoon Dok Hae: (Rev. Kwak read True Parents speech from Father's words concerning the Foundation Day for the Nation of the Unified World.)
Parents of heaven and earth have emerged. We must stand correctly before heaven and earth. The time will come when you will no longer be able to do as you please. You will not be able to come to me any time you like, but will be only able to come when permitted. The Family pledge is essential. Now in terms of heaven and earth there is so much I have to do. We should have absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. We must have that kind of unity in God's will. We should go to the spirit world with that kind of center and understanding. When you are given a command you should go forward without hesitation. Even the world in that kind of position should do family pledge for the nation, world and cosmos. All these should be recorded and should not be done casually. We must establish a new world and a new nation based on absolute faith love and obedience. We should be very prudent in all that we are doing.
We must begin where husband and wife are united and siblings are united, and we have a unique foundation of love and be centered on our ultimate subject - God. Centering on True Love, we should have one mind, one body and one heart. Whether one thousand years or ten thousand years - this should not change.
One mind, one body and one thought, that is the kind of mind we should establish. You must have True Love - you must know clearly.
(Then Rev. Kwak offered a special paper of calligraphy on September 3, 2003. This was the special message from Heung Jin Nim.)
Father:
This revelation from Heung Jin Nim must be published. So far you have been living a casual life. You must change from now. Now is the time of God's Kingship. Heung Jin Nim's Hoon Dok was given concerning Father's victory in the spirit world.
Every time a proclamation was made calligraphy was given for absolute victory. Spirit world is totally working behind our True Parents. After God's Kingship.
Message from Heung Jin Nim September 3, 2003
I am offering this to the Parent of Heaven and Earth.
Beloved Parents of Heaven and Earth,
I am truly grateful to you for opening the era of Cheon Il Guk where we can live in joy and happiness, and for proclaiming the 4th Israel. We have now received an era of Heavenly kingship, authority and fortune, when God can directly work and lead us with the Parents of Heaven and Earth. Especially, the "Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, Opening the Gate to the Cheon Il Guk" is not only the joy of spirit world and physical world but also that of the Parents of Heaven and Earth as Their victory and liberation.
The Parents of Heaven and Earth, by following the way of Heaven, broke down the barriers created by the fall and restored the original relationships [with Heaven and earth]. For this, They were not able to rest even one day, making a knot for each moment of the dispensation so that humankind can be led to the path of peace and happiness. Whenever there was a providential proclamation, They emphasized the role of the spirit world. Even when They proclaimed the embarkation of the 4th Israel, They granted me a calligraphy: "Absolute victory of Heung Jin Moon, the Commander-in-Chief in Heaven" This was to encourage me who is still not good enough. Your son is deeply grateful for this.
So far, the spirit world continued to progress, based on the victorious foundation of our Parents of Heaven and Earth. And I would like to offer you a report, focusing on the activities of the spirit world and the founders of the 5 major religions.
The Activities of the Spirit World According to the Providential Development
First, I would like to express my gratitude to the Parents of Heaven and Earth who have been holding events and making proclamations in order to open a path to salvation for all humankind.
After entering the year of 2002, the Parents of Heaven and Earth proclaimed the era of the "Realm of Victory for an Independent Nation" and blessed us by saying that the spirit world and the physical world should be united as one and cooperate with each other centered on the settlement of Cheon Il Guk. And through the "Proclamation Ceremony of Total Unification of the Spirit World and Physical World," They opened a way for our ancestors who became the spirits of absolute goodness to build the Cheon Il Guk, God's Nation.
Further, the Parents of Heaven and Earth proclaimed the "Living-Realm Settlement of Unity and Peace for the Parents of Heaven and Earth" and thus again blessed us so that we can build the original realm of life in which the ancestors of spirit world and the Blessed families on earth can live together in the attendance of the Parents of Heaven and Earth. The Parents of Heaven and Earth strengthened the sovereignty of goodness and power through the Coronation of God's Kingship, the Ceremony of Dissolving 6000-year Grievances, and the Proclamation of the Living-Realm Settlement of Unity and Peace for the Parents of Heaven and Earth. Through this, we entered an age when absolute good is more powerful than evil. We are now in the age when to see that good will prosper more and more, and evil will decline more and more.
Since the "Proclamation of the Living-Realm Settlement of Unity and Peace for the Parents of Heaven and Earth," God no longer appears as the light to the Blessed family members, but personally appears and speaks to them. In such a gracious time like this, when we are called, we should be able to answer Him, "Yes," with confidence. We should be able to do so only when we are in the position of "absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Only then, could we live in joy and happiness as desired by the Heavenly Parent and the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
As the result of the proclamation of the "Era of Peace, Unity and Balance," God now restored the Blessed families and entered the realm of life in which to have a direct dominion over them. Now, spirit world and physical world, centering on the equal standard, can be grateful for the attendance of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, and thus, the ancestors who have become the spirits of absolute goodness could return to their descendants and cooperate with them more than ever before.
Especially, February 6th, 2003, which was 3rd year of the Cheon Il Guk, was 60th birthday of our True Mother as well as the birthday of our True Father. Through the occasion, there were the "Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, Opening the Gate to the Cheon Il Guk" and the "Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families for the Peace and Unity of the Heavenly Parent and the Parents of Heaven and Earth."
The Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony of the Parents of Heaven and Earth for the Opening of the Cheon Il Guk was a ceremony of notifying the original marriage through which they were secured as the Ancestors of goodness. In this sense, it was a brand new day ever since opening a new era, securing on earth the Cheon Il Guk centered on God's Kingship. Through this, finally, the Heavenly Parent and the Parents of Heaven and Earth Their marriage official, and we, the Blessed families could be registered, filing birth certificates through the benediction of the Parents of Heaven and Earth. We all are grateful for this. Accordingly, all of the Blessed families would have to make even more efforts so that they could grow as the children of God and the Parents of Heaven and Earth. It was, indeed, a moving ceremony of great change through which God's Kingship could launch as the substantial Kingship through the Parents of Heaven and Earth. And it was a significant event through which God, the Heavenly Parent and the Parents of Heaven and Earth, totally being united as one, could be crowned as the King of the Blessed families.
The Holy Marriage Ceremony and the Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families laid the foundation for the embarkation of a new cultural world for the Kingdom of Heaven.
On such a foundation, 8 club teams, representing each continent, participated in the 2003 Sun Moon Peace Cup which turned out to be a great success. That Peace Cup event promoted the harmony and unity of humankind, and became a great festival to establish God's authority and His nation in the era of the Cheon Il Guk.
In the original world, art, culture, sports, etc. are to be mediators to build an ideal environment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, as the expressions corresponding to the environment of the Kingdom of Heaven in the spirit world. Peace Cup Tournament was, through sports, to let human beings see and feel with their own mind and body dynamic harmony and the world of unity that could be shown in the beautiful environment of the Kingdom of Heaven. It was also to connect the world of unity and harmony in the Kingdom of Heaven to the physical world, in order to create a ground of the unity and harmony of humankind. Thus, this event became a great turning point to demonstrate the original value of sports.
In the Summit Meeting for World Peace which was held in August, our Father emphasized the importance of changing the character, mind, heart of human beings, and especially the ideology of human beings in order to bring eternal peace in the true world. For harmony and peace, all nations and religious bodies should repent their wrongdoings in the past, and resolve themselves anew for world peace. For this, spirit world will work hard.
Further, in order for the world to launch a new history of peace and be resolved to extinguish the sufferings from wars, diseases, and poverty, our Father established an inter-religious committee at the United Nations.
In order to be in line with the providence of the Parents of Heaven and Earth from the Summit Meeting to the Seoul Declaration for world peace, spirit world is also resolved to march forward for the building of God's Nation and world peace through harmony and peace in the spirit world. For this, it is striving to bring unity and harmony among religions, through spirits of absolute goodness who are now being educated.
Activities of the representatives of the 5 major religions in the spirit world
Currently in the spirit world, representatives of the 5 major religions, who had been already Blessed are actively working with the spirits of absolute goodness, visiting and persuading the spirits of the same religion, but who are not Blessed yet. It is to have them be engrafted to the Parents of Heaven and Earth. The representative of each religion explains the Principle to them, focusing on the same teachings of their own religion. In the meantime, they continued educating on the Principle, how to remove the original sin and how to inherit true love from the Parents of Heaven and Earth. During the education, they are taught that the Creator is only one God, and therefore, in order to create the world of the original creation centering on God, everyone must be engrafted to the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
However, it is not easy for the representatives of the 5 major religions to witness to spirits and educate them. This is as if earthly people with barriers should first break down their own barriers and be open in order to have a heart to heart communication. Likewise, even spirits, although invisible to our own physical eyes, also have barriers towards other religions.
Nevertheless, the work of the Parents of Heaven and Earth who broke down many barriers and liberated the spirit world are actually breaking down the barriers of hearts. Thus, compared to before, it is easier to work in the spirit world. Even on earth, when we witness to people, it is not sufficient to talk to an individual only once or twice. We should continue investing ourselves and paying attention to that person. That is how that individual could open his or her heart, breaking down barriers, and eventually even committing oneself to the life of faith. Likewise, in the spirit world as well, having spirit selves open their hearts requires tremendous endeavor, which is more difficult than witnessing to earthly persons. That is why the Parents of Heaven and Earth made proclamations of breaking down barriers in the spirit world on the number of occasions, including the one in the United Nations. Especially, on a Korean traditional thanksgiving day, Choosuk in 2000, the Parents of Heaven and Earth led the "Ceremony of Dissolving Total Grievances" and the "Ceremony of Liberating the Spirit World" through which the barriers in the spirit world were broken down, and spirit selves could travel to visit one other. This enabled us to witness to other spirit selves. In the future as well, if you continue making proclamations to break down the barriers in the middle realm of the spirit world, we should be able to expediting the process of witnessing to spirit persons.
In addition, in order for the representatives of the 5 major religions to make a greater impact to religious believers both in the spirit world and on earth, it is imperative for the ambassadors for peace and religious believers who participated in the Blessing to be educated on a regular basis on the topic of the spirit world. At the same time, inter-religious activities for dialogues and harmony among religions should continue as well.
No matter how hard the representatives of the 5 major religions strive to working through earthly people, earthly people often do not recognize it. It is because their 5 spiritual senses are closed. Further, since they have too many evil spirits in their bodies, even if those religious representatives are trying to let them see and feel their efforts to relate to them, it is not easy for earthly people to see it. So, in order to open their spiritual senses, education should continue, along with the Cheong Pyung providence.
The representatives of the 5 major religions are diligently working so that each religion can be united with the Parents of Heaven and Earth. They deeply respect the Parents of Heaven and Earth who are so loving to all humankind, transcending religions. They are also grateful for their profound grace and great love, solving the problems that they themselves cannot, such as removing the original sin and/or establishing the four position foundation, etc.
Your son is well aware that you Blessed 120 billions of spirits among many hundreds of billions of them, not to mention earthly people. It is to have them live a life of one mind, one body and one heart, by restoring the fallen lineage stained by Satan from the fall of Adam and Eve to the lineage of God that is good. You also cleansed with your own sweat and tear their defiled bodies with fallen nature.
Many families have liberated and Blessed their ancestors up to 70 generations, making them the spirits of absolute goodness. Thus, they are now able to exercise great power collectively like the 70 disciples of Jesus during his lifetime. Unless ancestors are liberated and Blessed, the Blessed families cannot stand straight, and unless they make their own ancestors the spirit of absolute goodness, they cannot build families who can attend the Heavenly Parent and the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
The Blessed families on earth should know that their good ancestors in the spirit world are always cooperating with them. So, you should discuss with your ancestors and report to them so that they can continue cooperating with you. You, along with the Parents of Heaven and Earth, should also do your very best in order to expand the territory and sovereignty of the Cheon Il Guk. You should deeply realize how great the power of the spirits of absolute goodness is, and participate in ancestral liberations and their Blessing sooner than others. You should also attend the workshops provided by Chung Pyung Training Center as soon as possible and cleanse numerous sins and crimes committed by your own ancestors in the past, and strive to separate your fallen nature and evil spirits within you.
The importance of Tong-Bahn Kyuk-pa activities
Through the Chung Pyung providence opened by the Parents of Heaven and Earth, the number of spirits that became the spirits of absolute goodness through the Blessing is 120 billion. And the world is now changing as the world of goodness. In the past, there were no spirits of absolute goodness. Since there was no one who could open a door to that way through proclamations, evil grew more and more.
However, we are now living in an era of hope when our dreams are coming true. We can now reap if working hard. The harder we work, the more we can harvest. We are living in such a time. I know that the Blessed families have been toiling for God's Will, but hereafter, if you are certain of the time that we are living in, and focus on witnessing, along with the spirits of absolute goodness with one mind, one body, and one heart, you will experience something amazing. With an infinite love for humankind, the Parents of Heaven and Earth laid the foundation through which the Blessed families both in the spirit world and on earth can work.
On such an amazing time when the Parents of Heaven and Earth proclaimed the embarkation of the 4th Israel, which is the wish and hope of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Israels, the Blessed families, as the owners of the Cheon Il Guk, should dash forward for Tong-Bahn kyukpa. The 4th Israel nation should be actively involved on earth with Tong Bahn kyukpa and witness with the help of the spirit world in order to fulfill the responsibilities that were not accomplished by the first, second and third Israel.
Through the proclamation of the fourth Israel, you must do Tong- Bhan kyukpa activities in order for the spirit world and the earth to be united with one mind, one body and one heart to create the fourth Israel, and fully fulfill its responsibility. For this, you should have a consciousness that you are an owner, feeling the urgency, and being resolved to bring victories with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience.
You should deeply understand that the Parents of Heaven and Earth have been striving to remove the world of diseases, suffering, pain and unhappiness, and build the world of love, order, peace and freedom. The Blessed families should have a sense of responsibility for the providence of restoration. So when watching the people in suffering from ordeals such as diseases, pain, agony, etc., you should feel responsible to save them, experiencing those feelings as your own. Tong-Bahn kyukpa can be achieved only when you feel others' suffering as your own, and urgency to resolve those problems as your own.
Tong-Bhan kyuk pa can take place only when you feel a sense of responsibility for the Tong and Bahn where you belong to. There is nothing more precious than restoring the blood lineage, by witnessing to your neighbors. From now on, if the Blessed families are serious about witnessing for Tong-Bahn kyukpa, spirit world will work hard for you. For example, suppose that there are religious believers from Christianity, Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism. Then, representatives from those religions and the ancestors who became the spirits of absolute goodness will strongly support you.
The Blessed families should be tithing not only in money but also in activities. So, you should be involved with delivering the messages of the Principle at least three hours a day in your mission area, study the Word through a HDH, and educate people on true love. God desires that you would educate, witness, and Bless laymen so that you can build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven, experiencing peace, joy and happiness overflowing in your heart. That is to build a true family. Only when a family stands straight in order, the Kingdom of Heaven can be established on that foundation.
Our life should be exemplary. The spirit world will, then, cooperate and we should be able to build the Kingdom of Heaven through the HD family church movement. This is how we can build the 4th Israel Nation.
In line with such a providential flow, I would like to, once again, express my gratitude to the Parents of Heaven and Earth for opening the Cheon Joo Chung Pyung Training Center and the Chung Shim Hospital. You can now save human beings mourning from spiritual and physical diseases from the fall and lead them to joy and happiness by being healed both spiritually and physically.
90 percent of human diseases are based on spiritual ones. The work of the spirits of evil and grievances dwelling within the physical bodies of human beings gets more powerful as time goes by, and eventually causes spiritual and physical diseases, which eventually lead them to death. During the dedication ceremony of the Cheong Shim Hospital, the Parents of Heaven and Earth rejoiced, saying: "Finally, human beings can now be saved from sufferings and diseases."
As was spoken by the Parents of Heaven and Earth, we will push ourselves to help all humanity live in joy and happiness centered on the Cheon Joo Chung Phyung Training Center and the Chung Shim Hospital, separating evil spirits through the work of the spirits of absolute goodness and angels, and treating human beings in sufferings and diseases by medical angels and nurses. The Blessed families must not forget that only when they can stand in the position of receiving the heavenly fortune, by living with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, and thus always must live a life of filial piety to the Parents of Heaven and Earth. They should understand that they themselves have keys to all problems, and therefore should work diligently.
Beloved Parents of Heaven and Earth!
Lately, the spirit world now entered an age when to immediately respond to the words and declarations of the Parents of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, the Blessed families should clearly understand that we are now living in an incredible time when God's providence is being clearly exposed simultaneously both on earth and in the spirit world. Hence, you should do your very best to testify about the Parents of Heaven and Earth to all humankind and live while attending them.
This son and other siblings are always wondering how to fulfill our duties and responsibilities and make God and the Parents of Heaven and Earth happy as your sons and daughters. We shall make more efforts to always bring you joy and happiness. At the same time, we shall be totally committed to supporting you so that you can realize whatever you desire while you are on earth.
I wish and hope that the Blessed families could fulfill their responsibilities as tribal messiahs, encouraging and leading the spirits of absolute goodness and angels. I know that that is possible only through a life of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience that was set as a tradition and lived by our Parents of Heaven and Earth.
After the "Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families for the Peace and Unity of the Heavenly Parent and the Parents of Heaven and Earth," the Parents of Heaven and Earth used the seal of the Cheon Il Guk and bequeathed everything to us. So, I will make even more efforts to fully inherit the name, words, results of the Parents of Heaven and Earth and bring unity among the Blessed families on earth and in heaven centering on the spirits of absolute goodness so that all can be liberated and perfected. Therefore, I will encourage the entire world, especially the three providential nations, Korea, Japan and America for their Hoondok family church activities in line with a new providence centered on the Family Party. It is to establish absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal sovereignty to the Cheon Il Guk in the internal position and the 4th Israel in the external position.
Your humble son and siblings, representatives of the 5 major religions, saints and sages, Blessed families as the spirits of absolute goodness, and angelic world in the spirit world will gather all that we have and do our best and hasten to attend the Parents of Heaven and Earth in comfort, by completing the Heavenly Palace, the original holy ground in Cheony Pyung, as soon as possible.
The Parents of Heaven and Earth, please trust us, and from now on, receive only glory and honor. May you live a long, long life in good health.
Sincerely from Heung Jin Moon on September 3, 2003
Father Speaks:
We must have our mind and body united as one. In the position of the Owner a change can occur when the husband and wife are one. The husband is the owner but when the husband is not there the wife becomes the owner. On earth we struggle to eat and yet in the spirit world you don't have to eat. Everything must be based on give and take.
Who is the most sensitive to smell between white, black and yellow people? White people had to become sensitive to smell to look for a prey. When you go to the north pole many animals are white. Many things blend in. White people become like the polar bear race. White people's nose is very long and narrow. Black people's noses are very wide. God created them. White peoples eyes are very sunken, and they can see mountains far away with that feature. Each person is unique and we should be grateful for who we are and how God created us. We shouldn't try to change it, and we should embrace and be loving and respectful of one another. To talk about this I had to reflect upon human beings for a long time. To come to the level that I am on I had to think about these things deeply. Why did Black people emerge. Their skin changed due to the heat and environment. White people shouldn't be proud of themselves. We all have to be humble.
There are 5 races gathered here, because you are sitting with a person of a different color next to you, you shouldn't mind. Who created guns? Black people? No. Yellow people? No. It was the white people because they were focused on being hunters.
Orientals farmed and fished. Therefore their characteristics were based more on the land and the characteristic of patience. Gyo Cha Chul Hon (Exchange marriage) is the only way to bring harmony and equalization over time. You should have great concern for how to work with Korean people. Many nations tried to conquer and overcome Korea but one by one they had do spit it out. Therefore if you can't work well with Korean's you will decline. They are very quick, smart and capable. They have potential to be great diplomats as well. 30 years ago the population of Koreans in America was 130,000 not its almost 3 million. Koreans are very good at doing many things at the same time, Americans can only do one or two things at a time. When you look at Korean dance it is very special. Westerners did not think much of it until recently, however now the Koreans are excelling in the classical arts. This has caused many to see that Koreans can do well in the classical arts.
Today is the Foundation Day. So we must know about the way of heaven. Going in and going out. We must know the way to go beyond barriers.
Hye Jin went 8th day Hee Jin went Heung Jin Nim Young Jin Nim all went to the spirit world. Satan was able to take them away. They were really good children. Through the sacrifice of these children we could establish the first, second and third Israel. These children were offered as a sacrifice. I blessed them now in the spirit world. When you think of my children. All were offered in indemnity conditions. Through them I could go over 8 stages. Heung Jin Nim is the commander and chief in the spirit world but what are they to me. All these historical figures in the Bible died outside their home. Rather than being connected to Satan's blood lineage we must be taken back to God's blood lineage. Look at True Father, I am capable in every field. I am number one in endurance. We need that kind of people all of the world. We must open the way of heavenly families to build God's nation. Therefore this sacrifice is valuable. Foundation Day means opening heaven. Also opening the spirit world and the physical world. God should be a substantial parent to the physical world and the spiritual world. Through his blood lineage we should go back to God. All the preparations have been made and now we must restore the first, second and third Israel. That foundation was laid by me and you should take responsibility for the rest. Where two will become one together. They must come together as one. This is the day to open heaven. All those who at the top, Kings and Queens should be educated and together we should become a teacher, owner and King. Everyone must come together as one. We must unify everything centered on God. We must unify all. The subject and object in blood together in the same blood lineage. We must be cleansed of Satan's blood lineage. There has been no one who could do something like this. You have to fulfill your responsibility. God could not even suggest to marry the saints with the murderers. I had to figure this out on my own and then through this create the condition that would save everyone. Three generations must all be united, no matter how difficult. This is a very logical conclusion. 16 becomes 4 x 4. We don't have to wait until 2012. We can march forward now.
