Good morning, everyone. I am sure you are all waiting to know about True Father's present situation.
Every day I meet True Father and True Mother and always in my mind I feel sorry to them. I always have to say to True Father that I am sorry. To True Parents I say that you are all doing so good. I tell True Father and True Mother that members are all making Jung Sung. True Father's situation is always becoming better, not worse. True Father has received such excellent emergency treatment, every day he is becoming better.
True Parents appreciate the Jung Sung. True Mother, the leaders, go to see True Father, and True Father looks at True Mother, and True Father is holding True Mother's hand. We all have to do better and make more devotions. Such a mind I determined to have. Yesterday I met True Parents. True Father was sleeping. Also, True Father lifted his hand so we could hold his hand. I hope all of you make more devotions. I worry about all of you when the (news) articles come out. If we know True Father is becoming better, what if members don't make enough Jung Sung? Please continue to make sincere devotions for True Father's speedy recovery. True Mother speaks of the importance of Foundation Day.
We need many devotions and conditions to prepare well. We think that on Foundation Day everything will be accomplished, so there is no more responsibility. All can be done as it is on earth. But God and True Parents; since True Parents came to earth, True Parents have done everything. What about our one heart, one mindset, and one body? There will be a holy wedding. True Parents will give us the blessing again. The blessing of love. They love us so they granted this to us. But, towards God and True Parents we need to have one heart, one mindset, one body so that God can dwell in us and we in God. Those things we could not do, but we have to do. We need to educate ourselves. We know Divine Principle well, but only intellectually. When a pastor gives a sermon, we understand it intellectually, and we judge the pastor's sermon. This is arrogance. The reason the pastor gives some speech, he needs to give education.
I hear during counseling, members can receive grace from the sermon, sometimes they can't. The words of the Principle are the same. They are given to you, but our attitude is so important. The important thing is practice. Practice living life with the Principle. Understand the Principle, and remove anger, jealousy, etc. Reduce little by little. By Foundation Day. God must be in us by Foundation Day, and we in God. But, if there is no change in us, can God be in us? Can we be in God? We have to do our best. Ask: can God dwell in me? If True Parents come today, can they dwell in me? We have to think about our life of faith. If there is no preparation, and we wonder why didn't God give blessing? We do this a lot. When I do counseling, I hear this. Members tell me: I did 21-day fasting and all-night prayer. Why no blessing? If with such small conditions it could be done, it would already have been done. But, because of Satan and evil, it takes more. We must pray with sincerity and devotion.
Become one heart, one mindset, one body, heartistically. Based on one heart, one mindset, one body, we should not have fallen nature. We need to be changed from yesterday, and become better and better. God will give blessing, we have to have a lifestyle of attending God and True Parents. Clean the wrong things up if we have to; otherwise it is not right. Change yourself beautifully, so you can receive more heavenly fortune. Make your family beautiful. God can take a rest and stay with our family, and stay and settle. We need to be this way. Such members we have to become. If my family is not like that, it is not good. So, before Foundation Day, witness to your family. Even if you receive blessing, if not one heart, one mindset, one body, if don't go to church, etc. then we have to change this through witnessing activities.
We have to have Husband-Wife well, Parents-children well, etc. Attend church, do Hoon Dok Hae, attend True Parents in the family, such determination is needed. If we drink, smoke, etc. and keep fallen nature, then no matter about the blessing on Foundation Day, we cannot meet it. When I council members, I tell them "you have to do such-and- such a thing during this time period." But then the person keeps their old lifestyle during this time period, they don't practice what I told them, and then they come back and say: you said "this," but I don't feel blessing, there is no change. They didn't do what I told them to do.
We have to make a true family before Foundation Day. If we become true, then we can receive blessing. If we settle there, then God and True Parents can come and give blessing. Even if you have heavenly fortune, you have to give to the family, to relatives, etc. Make such a family. Make your tribe beautiful, etc. and your neighborhood. Such a life and responsibility we have. If you just work for Foundation Day, this is not right. True Parents have proclaimed God's kingship, etc. while they are on earth. When you go to Spirit World, True Parents are also existing there. They are spiritually/physically eternal; that is what True Parents are. To live with them eternally, we must change. If we don't change, then there is no meaning. Inside us there is fallen nature. This must be removed. If angry, upset, jealous, hateful, etc. what nature is this? It is from Satan, not from God. Will God or Satan come when you are upset?
When you are upset, does God or Satan come? We have to understand. Foundation Day is the day when God and True Parents become one totally [original eternal trinity]. The Holy Wedding is coming. All of us need to change ourselves and accomplish our responsibility. Become one. Stand in the position of children to meet Foundation Day. We didn't do it. For this Foundation Day externally, we do same things as True Parents, but internally it is different. Compared with other people, we are the best, that is what we think. We have individual sin, collective sin, ancestral sin, and fallen nature. We have to take this off. Blessing is not possible otherwise. The door [the "door" is closed prior to Foundation Day; the "door" will be opened on Foundation Day] will opened on Foundation Day. This door has been locked. It will be opened on Foundation Day. When the door is open, we will go there with True Parents, and blessing can come.
There will be a holy wedding. As the door is opened, all of us need to go together and stay together. We have to make ourselves better. No one can go...otherwise. At Chung Pyung, take out your fallen nature. If you practice this way, God will dwell inside you. This is where God, True Parents, and Absolute Good Spirits will be living. If we go over [go through the door] we can do well. If the door is not opened, if True Parents don't unlock it, there can be no blessing. Spirit world and physical world become one; Absolute Good Spirits together with us. Over there, they are supposed to live together with us. The place where God and True Parents are; can I live there? Ask yourself that question. Such a world, the door to which we can open.
We can live there according to the Principle of Creation. This is what Foundation Day means. We need to work hard to make a completed character. After 100 days in Spirit World, Evil Spirits cleanse their sins and fallen nature. We have to have such a mind and body. We must accomplish Foundation Day. To live inside there, we need to live a life for the sake of others. No anger, but true love. We can live together with True Parents. Some members ask me: "why doesn't God give us blessing? We did 210 generations. Why is there no blessing?" God and True Parents and Absolute Good Spirits come to give blessing, but if you are not ready to receive? Absolute Good Spirits try to protect us, and give us blessing. But, if blessing is given in a certain direction, but we are going in a different direction, what then? God told me: "to make Absolute Good Spirits, you need sincerity, devotion, based on truth, diligence, etc. Have the mind of loving people.
Don't ask for anything in return. Do it out of love. If you live like that I will be with you. Keep sincerity, devotion, etc. Live by these virtues." At this point, do witnessing activities. We have to become such members. Since True Parents are sick, there is a lot of news in the media. The whole world knows; reporters are staying there. We need to let them know the will and spirit of True Parents. If we don't convey this, we will shed tears later. Some older members have good understanding of Divine Principle, are good lecturers, but they did not practice. Later (in Spirit World), they told me: please tell blessed families about our situation. Later you will be shameful.
When I see True Parents every day, I feel so shameful to True Parents. My mind: if I made any mistake, please forgive me. We have to say to True Parents in prayer: if I made any mistake, please forgive me. This Providence of Restoration is "mine." We must carry a sense of responsibility. Become a complete human being. Do Witnessing Activity. Please become such members. Be together with True Parents. You need to attend the holy wedding. Need wedding dress and nice suit, etc. All of us, God has been working continuously. We need to do Witnessing Activity. For True Parents to recover quickly, we need to do work, not just do Jung Sung. Then, we can meet Foundation Day well. Please become such members.
Every week I take out Evil Spirits which cause fallen nature. At Autumn Special Great Works, Evil Spirits causing fallen nature will be removed. Today, again, lots of anger is inside us. If someone you don't like, and show anger. In chanyang session, Evil Spirits making anger will be removed. So please work hard. Absolute Good Spirits will be imputed into you. Hit the head, hit the back evenly, hit your leg, waist, abdomen, the bottom of your foot also. Have a repentant mind. Do for other people with love. Please work hard in chanyang session. The 2-day workshop. I will meet with True Parents tomorrow and tell them that you are working hard. Please work hard and make more devotions. Please do Witnessing Activity. To your family, tribe, neighbors. Please become such precious members. I so much appreciate your coming here. Please be healthy, and fulfill your responsibility as a filial son/daughter of God and True Parents. I will close here. Thank you very much.
God bless, itn, David Carlson
