(NOTE: These Transcripts are taken from the video of the Day of Victory of Love celebration ceremonies in Korea by Airenae Culvy. They cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication of True Father's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message.

A Korean Leader Announces (people are sitting on the floor, huge room with big pillars coming out on left and right sides, screens are in the back of the room on the sides): So, we started from the midnight prayer and yesterday's Events. Now we are here this morning. Thank you for coming and participating in all these Events. Let me tell you about today. We are going to start at 8:00 a.m. We are going to start The Day of Victory of Love. When that is finished, we are going to go to the Cheon Bok Parade, which will start at the Quam Qua Gate, Yunjon?. True Parents may actually be there during that time. After the Cheon Bok Parade is finished, there will be a cutting of the tape for the art exibition; and, that will be the Cheon Bok Ceremony. There will probably be a lot of cars; so, we'll need to gather by 12 o'clock at the Quam Qua Gate; and we'll start at 2 o'clock with the parade. Once the parade is over, please move quickly. At the Quam Qua Gate, there is a third exit at the 5th subway line; and, it's possible to park your car there. The price is 3,000 won per hour to park your car there. So, you may choose to park your car there; or, you may choose to take a subway get to the parade. (Tossa says he's not going to translate this part with the directions because it doesn't seem to be needed for English people) Now we are going to sing Blessing of Glory, the first and fourth verses in Korean for our True Parents.

For your information, I want to tell you about the Cheon Bok Parade. Today's schedule is tomorrow at 10 am at the Main Hall of the Cheon Bok, there will be the world CARP Assembly. At 9 am there is going to be a presentation on a strong Korea by the Tongil Group Chairman. At 9 o'clock, there will be a debate between Aetheism and Theism, and then the next day, on the fourth day ... on the fifth day there will be choir performances from teams from all over the world. On the sixth day (of the first month of the Heavenly Calendar) there will be a multi-cultural festival at 10 o'clock at the Cheon Bok Gung? and then there will be a Cheong Pyeong musical performance; so, members can attend there. On the seventh day of the first month there will be a time where we offer blood, we can donate blood and some other events. So, this is The Day of The Victory of Love. Let us quietly prepare for today's Events.

(Everyone is sitting quietly... some preparations are going on on the stage, people moving)

Rev. Seuk : Good Morning. Ohio Goziemas. May God's abundant Blessing be upon you and your family this New Year. Let us now prepare solemnly for the 29th Day of Victory of Love. I'm going to make a short explanation for you about the change of the Seung Hwa to the Seong Hwa Ceremony. Yesterday, last year on 10/13 by the Heavenly Calendar, Dr. David S. E. Kim was given a Seong Hwa Ceremony in America. True Parents prayed for three hours for a title for Dr. Kim saying 'Celebrating a representative of a great man of filiel piety and loyalty, a founding of God's Homeland has entered the Garden. And then the next day a Hanna Do?, Father gave us the order instead of holding a Seung Hwa Ceremony to hold a Seong Hwa Ceremony for Dr. David Kim. And Father said also, for the Won Jeon. Ceremony change the Chinese Character for 'wol' to the Chinese Character used in Divine Principle, which is Wol i Han Bok, so Woli Han ban? to use that different character. So this new title of Seong Hwa Ceremony was announced by True Parents. True Parents gave the message about the Substantial Body of God. So, now let's give a round of applause and gratitude to our True Parents for this New Blessing, this new type of Hope.

The Day of Victory of Love was first possible through the sacrifice of Heung Jin Nim, January 2, 1984. It was proclaimed in America at Belvedere. And in 1987 the fourth Day of Victory of Love was held on January 2nd; and, it has been held and it's been held on that date ever since. So, all the other True Children and True Grandchildren Who Have Passed Away also Celebrated on this Day in addition to Heung Jin Nim. So, today we are going to Celebrate, Heung Jin Nim, Hyo Jin Nim, Young Jin Nim, Shin Hye Nim, Hye Jin Nim and Hee Jin Nim at this time. So Heung Jin Nim's Seung Hwa , after the ICUS Conference in Chicago was completed, Father was on His way to East Garden; and, Father gave a Special Direction, a Special Order.

So, on December, 1983, the Victory of Communism Events were held in 8 cities in Korea. The last Event was when He was in Kwanju in Korea. Heung Jin Nim was in America at the time. Heung Jin NIm had gotten special permission from Mother to fix the motor cycle, which was in UTS. He had gotten permission to go to UTS; so, He had taken two 2nd generation with Him. On His way back He got into the accident. It was December; so, the ground was frozen and this truck was coming very fast and it was slipping. It was about to have a head-on collision. If Heung Jin NIm had turned the steering wheel to the left, He would have probably survived the accident. However, He wanted to protect Jin Bok and Jin Gil, the two 2nd generation who were with him. So, Heung Jin Nim deliberately turned the steering wheel to the right and Jin Bok and Jin Gil did not get hurt at all; but Heung Jin Nim was very hurt through that and was seriously, critically injured through that accident.

Heung Jin Nim entered a coma at that time and was entered into the San Francisco, St. Francis Hospital. I was there at the time. So, it was a time when I was able to meet True Parents at that hospital. So, after I met True Parents Who had completed their tour in Korea, Father came to America. Father thanked Heung Jin Nim for sacrificing HImself on Father's behalf; and, He made a determination to send Heung Jin Nim to the spirit world and held a Unification Ceremony at the hospital. The Unification Ceremony was a time where Father was setting a condition of becoming One With God instead of in all ways being so sad about Heung Jin Nim's dying. Also, Mother, Instead of being so sad about Heung Jin Nim's death, She set a condition of becoming One with Father and set a standard of Love of God and Father (((and a Highest Level Connection was made with Heung Jin Nim Spiritually))) Also, brothers and sisters of Heung Jin Nim, instead of being so sad about Heung Jin Nim's death, They were coming to have greater Love for True Parents. Also, the Blessed Families made a dedication of, instead of being so sad about Heung Jin Nim's death, they had a time of becoming One With True Parents. That was a time when all the religions of the world to become One with The Unification Church on that occasion as well.

So, that is, as Father was talking about, how to have victory over death through Love. So this is talking about Father's Absolute Love toward God and True Mother's Absolute Love toward Father overcoming Heung Jin Nim's death. So, Heung Jin Nim's Absolute True Love toward True Parents and Heung Jin Nim's True Love toward His friends brought Victory over death at that time. So, it was through this Day of Victory of Love that it was possible, through the Unification Ceremony, for the Seung Hwa Ceremony to appear, which is the Seong Hwa Ceremony. So, Seong Hwa Ceremony is a time of new joy when people can be Graced by God; and, it is a time where our life on earth has just moved on to the spirit world.

So, Heung Jin Nim's Devotion and Love for True Parents did not end at this point. Heung Jin Nim was appointed as the Commanding Chief of the spirit world by Father, and during the eighteen-year period until 1987, the greatest Devotion was given. So, before this Foundation was given through Heung Jin Nim on the earth and when this Foundation was given to Heung Jin Nim to do His work in the spirit world. So, in this way The Day of Victory of Love was Proclaimed and the Seong Hwa Grace has been given to us by True Parents. So, let's give a big round of applause for gratitude to our True Parents.

Next, we will talk about Hyo Jin Nim's Seung Hwa. On March 17, 2008, everyone, we were all working hard on the election in Korea, we heard the news that Hyo Jin Nim had passed away. While we were all concerned with the attitude of sinners, True Parents Said that Hyo Jin Nim did something great and at that time I Sacrificed My Eldest Son for the sake of God's Homeland. Hyo Jin should go on my behalf as God took the spirit world on my behalf. So, at this time Father is talking about the liberation of His Homeland, and talking about the Seung Hwa of Hyo Jin Nim from God's View. From a human view, this is not something we would expect a Parent to say about His Child's death. In this way, Father is Completey Absorbed in fulfilling God's Providence.

Father gave a title of the Lord of Filiel Piety and Loyalty Who Will Open Up The Garden of the Deepest Heaven. So, Father Gave that & that title is a Blessing to Hyo Jin Nim to fulfill that role when He goes to spirit world. So, when True Parents go to the spirit world, They will open a world of the Kingdom of Heaven. That means that Heaven can be opened through Hyo Jin Nim's Seung Hwa, His death. When Hyo Jin Nim's Seung Hwa Ceremony was completed, True Parents went to Hawaii and then to the western United States and stayed there for about ten days and offered Devotion to God for about ten days. During ten days, True Father did not sleep or eat; and, Father was experiencing the life of the bottom of hell. Father was suppressing His Sadness for Hyo Jin Nim's death; and, He was offering the greatest Devotion and Love in order for Hyo Jin Nim to find His place in the spirit world.

So, at the time, 22 testimonies of people who had been attending Father at the time said that it was very difficult for them to look at how much suffering Father was putting Himself through. Through a Special Ceremony on April 3rd, Hyo Jin Nim's Life on the earth was put into order completely by Father; and, Father Proclaimed that Father had set the Foundation for Hyo Jin Nim to fulfill the Role that is sought after by His Title.

So Heung Jin Nim and Hyo Jin Nim & other True Children are really working hard in the spirit world. We need to understand Their work and really pray for Them. There needs to be a proper common base on the earth for Them to work through us to do their work in the spirit world. The completion of Cheon Il Guk is impossible without the help of the spirit world. So, True Parents told us to liberate and Bless ten generations of our ancestors up until Foundation Day. All Blessed Families are supposed to complete that mission. So, Hyo Jin Nim, Heung Jin Nim and other True Children in the spirit world should not have to worry about what is happening on the earth.
