You may not be aware of this, but today marks a new starting point for the providence. During the last forty days, Father has visited many places in the spirit world. He has met figures from providential history, and he has personally experienced God's creation of heaven and earth.

I have been speaking with Father heart to heart over the past forty days. I have been preparing. Father's thoughts have become my thoughts, and my thoughts his. Much has happened in the last forty days during which Father has been corning to Cheon Jeong Gung. Father completely approved of my determination to renew the Korean church in spirit and truth. He told me that he is very grateful.

HakJaHan-121025a_b.jpg

The Unification Church in Korea has been around for fifty years. During that time, Father led the worldwide providence. He has entrusted the Korean church to you, believing that you will do your best. However, the reality is that you (starting from those who hold the positions of responsibility) have been unable to fulfill your missions. It was set to grow, to develop, but that never happened. He was heartbroken and very sad. He lamented, wondering why so little result occurred after he had placed his trust in you. I think there have been more bloated reports than actual results. However, under my leadership, it will not continue like that. I hope you understand.

In his final days, Father emphasized to us to live at the risk of our lives, investing all our strength. How do we practice this teaching? You must be aware of the sin of not having been able to serve Father and return glory to Heaven.

HakJaHan-121025a_c.jpg

This was some time ago, but in ordinary society when the master of a wealthy household died, the son would live by the side of his grave for three years. He would serve his parents without the help of his family, eating raw food and living alone like a homeless person. Then the world would bestow on him the title "son of filial piety." As we have failed to fulfill our responsibility to serve Father, I have set up a special team of bodyguards here. I've told them to live by the side of Father's grave for three years. Seeing the standard of piety toward parents in society, how can we do less for the king of kings, the savior, the Messiah, the True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, the lord of truth, holiness and virtue? These men swore an oath to me. Two among them have doctoral degrees in theology. They are people who attended Father very closely....

What have you been thinking during the past forty days? I received many letters and your thoughts have been conveyed to me, but we must now invest our lives totally. This is what we must do. We weren't able to do this with Father. What other time would call for us to commit our lives? Many people have desired Father's love, for Father to take care of them. They have given back so little. Do you admit that? I know there are many among you who should wear sackcloth and repent. Please pledge your absolute devotion once more to Father today. Even Father is making a new beginning in providential history. In this situation, we on earth are also doing so. What does it say in the Bible? "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Please remember this: This is the time when we can return the value of Father's love to him. Your life... How long do you think you have left? Twenty years? Thirty years? When we think of God and of the world's 6.5 billion people, we have so little time. All those people are our people, our brethren, our family.

HakJaHan-121025a_d.jpg

How can we offer the world to God, when we fail at even offering this nation, Korea? When will we offer all 6.5 billion people to God? Everyone, will you live at the risk of your lives, investing all your strength? Your voices are too weak.

Please speak up.

This is the final stage. We have no more chances to repay our debts to heaven. Think about it. Because I am on earth, Father will show us even greater substantial phenomena. You will experience these through Chung Pyung. Father has promised. If you want to see Father, bring your results, come to Chung Pyung, and see Father. In the history of the providence, Father never revealed his body easily, even while he was imprisoned. He told us that in prison he protected his body. Do you think Father will just appear anywhere? No. Father will come only to me or to Chung Pyung. Do you understand? If there is anyone among you who did not know that, it has now been explained. Let's advance in an orderly manner, centering on one heart and one vision and centering on the Principle. If you are willing to make that vow, let us applaud in order to congratulate Father on his new beginning. Thank you.

Note: These notes are taken from a Peace TV video clip. They cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication of True Parent's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message. -- Rev. Katsumi Kambashi

The ceremony took place 40 days after True Father's Seonghwa Ceremony and 53 days after his Seonghwa. Rev. Seuk was the MC that day and approximately 500 Korean and Japanese leaders participated.

After Rev. Hyung Jin Moon and Mrs. Yeon Hwa Moon lit the candle, they all sang the Cheon Il Guk anthem and recited the Family Pledge. After Rev. Yeon Suk Song from Japan offered prayer, True Mother laid flowers and a cup of holy wine on True Father's grave, and made a half bow. Then, Rev. Hyung Jin Moon's couple, as the representative of all Unification families, offered the flowers and holy wine and they did a full bow to True Father's grave. Then, Kook Jin Nim offered flowers and holy wine, and then offered a full bow joined by other True Children including his wife. Then, Shin Jun Nim offered a flower, followed by other True Grandchildren, and after Shin Jun Nim offered holy wine, he, along with the other True Grandchildren, offered a full bow.

Then, wives of the five sages offered flowers, holy wine and a bow, followed by 36 couples (8 husbands) and the continental directors. Then all other participants, who represented all the Blessed families in the spirit world and on earth, offered a half bow.

Rev. Seuk said it was time for True Father to receive (흠향하다) the foods on the altar and asked all the participants to offer a silent prayer. After that, Dr. Peter Kim read Father's words from the Cheon Seong Gyeong with the title "Where are we going now?"

"What is the purpose of our life? We need to reexamine this question. Since the motive of 'my' birth is not from 'me,' it is sure that the purpose of 'my' life isn't concluded only in 'myself.' Who doesn't want to be in happy environments or luxurious atmospheres? 'I' want to be proud of 'myself,' and want to live as 'I' wish. But we cannot live our life as we wish. It is an existence called 'I' that live in such a crossroad.

The fact that the autumn arrived means winter is coming soon. In winter, only those who have life can survive. Those who don't have life within themselves cannot help but withdraw from here. That's why before winter comes, one must be injected with new life. A new life must have new love, new viewpoint of life, the world, and the universe. Otherwise, nobody can go through winter. Once one has the energy of new life that enables them to survive winter, though they would face many hardships, the more they advance, the more they can feel that spring is coming soon. Spring will come and the Unification church will take such a path.

Though we live on this earth, we know there is the spirit world. This secular world and the spirit world are not two different worlds but they are connected as one. Where are we going to live and where are we heading for? We are living our physical life now but we are heading for the eternal world.

People live as teens, in their 20's and 30's, going through years of youth and prime time of their lives. Then they finally reach their old age and are finished with their life on earth. Then where do humans go? To the spirit world, which is like the ocean. Everybody, without fail, has to take that path. Like the ocean which has all kinds of different fish in different currents, there are plenty of different families in the spirit world.

When I was in North Korea (after WWII), there was a rich family. When people were fleeing from there (during the Korean War), I saw they tied their expensive dogs to the house and said "Be safe and we hope we will be back." We Unificationists shouldn't do that. We should be able to have all animals and creatures we love as owners on earth in the Kingdom of heaven where we are supposed to go. It is amazing that the principle, clarifying all the issues on earth and the spirit world, presents us a clear vision and a unified path to go. In that path, the more we go, the more we are energized without having problems in going up to the next stage. It is because the driving force of love always responds to our daily life. We are born from love, live with love, die with love and go to the world of love going back to God who is the origin. That's why we need to have God's way of thinking.

Do you think the spirit world changes? Human minds always change but the spirit world never changes. If there is God, does He change? No He doesn't. If there is a nation that God governs, it will never change either. People there, without feeling any complaints, exist and live in sympathy with the law, where no revolution is necessary.

The spirit world is your hometown. Your original homeland is the spirit world. This physical world is the homeland of your bodies and the spirit world is the homeland of your spirit. Since we will breathe in love in the spirit world, we can freely breathe there only after we breathe in love on earth. It is the spirit world where love is like the air there. If your spirit self goes to the spirit world without having prepared to breathe in love on earth, you cannot breathe freely in the spirit world. You must practice original love on earth, and when your all cells substantiate such love, everything will go well in the spirit world. Therefore, on earth, you should be finished with adjusting yourself to the standard that you can eternally live in your homeland. You shouldn't live as you wish like those who don't know anything. Knowing the spirit world and adjusting yourself to it, you can go to God when you pass away and connect yourself to the Kingdom of Heaven. You should know it is impossible to do so otherwise."

Mr. Jeong No Yun, president of UPF Korea led three Mansei, and then all offered a half bow to True Parents, which concluded the meeting that day.

The purpose of Ocean Training Workshops

To date, we have held many ocean workshops here. What was the purpose of having ocean training workshops? Our Unification Church must now be reborn with God's spirit and truth. This is the time, while reorganizing external activities, we should maintain internal stability. Japanese women have worked so hard for the global providence, but from now on we should have results to show that "we accomplished this." I will make that happen for you. Eternally maintaining the foundation Father established is a matter of urgency. I will put everything, one by one, in order, from one to ten, and we should keep Father's teachings alive, without letting them drop to the ground.

I came from Geomun Island and this place also needs to be organized again. I consider our second generation important. In order to ensure that in the end your efforts have not been in vain, I should educate those in the second generation. What should you leave behind, you blessed members who are living in the same era as True Parents? What will it be? Will it be your honor? Your money? What should it be? If we don't leave a solid foundation for later generations, when will the world center on God? Korea and Japan must be the world's center. When you spin a top, it keeps spinning, doesn't it? That is what Japan and Korea must do.

You must be reborn through the Principle. Do you understand what I mean? I said that our church must be alive and breathing, and must be somewhere that Divine Principle lectures continue without end. Give lectures to three people at the church every day, teach the Principle, share the teachings. Eventually we need to give birth to new Blessed Families. The sooner the better. It is urgent to the hour.

I am seventy years old. Isn't that so? If I live another thirty years in good health, I will be a hundred years old. How will I look then? Think about that. You are younger, so you can have more hope, but I feel a great sense of urgency. Do you understand what I mean? (Yes)

Take ownership and do activities that are alive and "breathing." Then the spirit world will assist you 100 percent. What is the wish of those in the spirit world? What is our wish? It is the establishment of the kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven. Isn't it? Cheon II Guk. How exciting, elating and divine would it be to realize that in our lifetime? If we go through life feeling that, how could we sit calmly and placidly? We are bound to exert ourselves.

Our goal won't disappear with the passing of Foundation Day. We have to bless all of humankind and create Cheon II Guk citizens. In order to do that, what should you do? (Mother wipes away tears.) Those in the spirit world won't help people who do only what they are told to do, who only live from one day to the next without making any distinction between them. Do you understand? You must be able to feel the true meaning of risking one's life and giving one's all.

I am asking you to become people who report to Heaven every day and who move with Heaven all the time. Now, you must work hard as if twenty-four hours aren't enough hours in a day. You need to work in place of the spirit world, so think of one day as forty-eight hours. You should be reborn in God's word. Without considering any condition, you purely wanted to come and see me and wanted to listen to me with a thankful mind. You didn't think to yourself, If I make this much effort, I will get this much back, or if I do this, I will become a leader.

That type of mind-set didn't exist in the early days of the church. We have to go back to that time. We must build a movement in which true love overflows.

Coming to Geomun Island has been difficult

Hak Ja Han with members at the Manhattan Center in New York on 9.21 (November 4), where she spoke at the conclusion of her tour across the country.

"My eyes became sensitive to light, so I need to use sunglasses. I'm sorry. During the forty-day period of preparing meals (for True Father) coming here has been difficult. Since I intend to sell the helicopter, I won't have it soon. Coming here by boat is not easy. I am unsure that I will be able to come again this year. I went to bed worrying about that.

When I was offering the meal, I was told, If it is okay with you to go to Geomun Island, I will have a meal there." That means that Father's thinking is my thinking, and my thinking is Father's thinking. During the forty days, I felt I must come here and I was worried that I couldn't. Yet, Father said he wanted us to come here, so here I am.

(To Sun-hee Davis, the church leader there) How many members do you have now? "We have about seven members now." About seven. (Mother sighs.)

This is an important place, and you have to educate people here. In order to teach them quickly, fire must always be burning in the church. It shouldn't go out. To that end, all of you must gather your resolve.

You shouldn't lose sight of the honor of having lived in this era when you could attend True Father. It all depends on you. Shouldn't you become a person Father wants to recognize in the spirit world? In order to do that, what should you do? (We need to continue witnessing and teaching.) We shouldn't rest. I said we should establish a church that is alive and breathing. When life exists, movement must occur. Only something dead remains still.

Father loved this place. If you were determined to restore all the people on Geomun Island within a month and made supreme effort, don't you think Father would help you? Father, who transcends time and space, would do great work through you if he were moved by the greatness of your sincerity and effort. Haven't you been thinking like that?

The international situation is very hard to gauge. It is hard to fathom what China has in mind. You have to protect this place yourselves. You need to have Strong Korea lectures here. You should bring everyone on this island together. Don't sleep at night, stay awake; make this into a church where a fire is constantly burning. Wouldn't Father, who is going around the world, be pulled to Geomun Island because of your sincere effort? I'm saying that this shouldn't become a place Father bypasses as he goes elsewhere.

Think of the situation if I had not been here when Father went to the spirit world. What do you think? As people who have lived with True Parents and breathed the same ail; your responsibility is very great. In the eyes of your descendants, you will naturally be graded; it might be determined for example, that you were a loyal patriot; you accomplished your responsibility, you became a person whom Heaven remembers, or you are someone who just walked past. Nobody can help you in this; it's up to each of you. So will you exert your maximum effort, or not? (We will.)

We should establish the church which is alive and breathing

Note: These notes are taken from a Peace TV video clip. They cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication of True Mother's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message. -- Rev. Katsumi Kambashi

True Mother, with True Parents' helicopter, visited the west coast of Korea before selling it for the sake of the education of the 2nd generation.

True Mother's message at the Ocean Cheon Jeong Palace

"My eyes became sensitive and so I need to use sunglasses. I am sorry. During the 40-day period of 상식 (上食 / Sang Shik: meals offered to True Father), it has been difficult to come here. Since I said I would sell the helicopter, I won't have it soon, and to come here by a boat is not easy. I went to bed worrying about it, and it was Saturday night but it was actually already Sunday. (그날이 토요일, 그리고 일요일이 이렇게 연결됐어). Next day, which was Monday, when I was offering 상식(上食 / Sang Shik: meals offered to True Father), I was told (by Father) "If you are OK to go to Geomundo, I will receive 상식 (上食 / Sang Shik: meals offered to True Father) there." What it means is that Father's thinking is Mother's thinking, and Mother's thinking is Father's thinking. During the 40-day, I felt I must come here and I was worried that I couldn't do so. But Father let me come here.

To the church leader there: How many members do you have now?

Church leader: We have about seven members now.

Mother: About seven. (Mother sighed.) This is an important place, and you have to educate people here. In order to educate them in a short period, there must be always fire in the church. It shouldn't go out. For that sake, all of you make a strong determination.

You shouldn't lose your honor that you live in this era when you could attend True Father. It all depends on you, and you should become a person whom Father wants to recognize in the spirit world, shouldn't you? In order to do so, what should you do?

Church leader: 'We need to continue witnessing and educating.'

Mother: We shouldn't take a rest. I said we should establish the church which is alive and breathing. When there is life, it must move. Only something dead remains still.

This is the place that Father loved, and if you are determined to restore all the people in Geomundo within one month and make utmost efforts, you don't think Father will help you? Father, who transcends time and space, will do huge work through you when he is moved by your utmost Jeong Seong. Have you been unable to have such thoughts?

Now nobody can tell what will happen in the international situation. Nobody can tell what China is thinking now. You have to protect this place by yourself. You need to have 'Strong Korea' lecture here and you should gather people of this island. So don't sleep and stay always awake, and make the church where fire is always lit. Then Father, who is going around the world, would be tugged to Geomundo because of your Jeong Seong, wouldn't he? What I mean is that this shouldn't become a place Father just passes by.

Think of a situation where I am not here in this period while Father went to the spirit world. What do you think? Your responsibility as people who have lived and breathed together with True Parents is tremendously huge. In the eyes of your descendants, your grade will naturally be marked, for example, 'You are a patriot,' 'You accomplished your responsibility,' 'You became a person who Heaven remembers,' or 'You are the person who just passed by.' Nobody can help you on this regard. It is each of your responsibility. So will you make your utmost efforts or not?

Church leader: 'I will.'

Then Mother, sitting on Father's chair, offered 상식 (上食 / Sang Shik: meals offered to True Father) to Father, asking the church leader there what each item on the table is. Mother symbolically touched all of them and ate a little bit and said, "Father, please enjoy." Then she moved to her chair, which is the opposite to his, and ate. After the meal, she visited the kitchen, True Parents' room, Shin Jun Nim's room, and so on. Later, she flew to the Cheong Hae Garden, Yeosu.

True Mother's message at the Cheong Hae Garden

As of now, we have held many workshops here. What was the purpose of having Ocean training workshop? Now we Unification Church must be reborn with God's spirit and truth. The time is now, while downsizing external works, we should have internal stability. Japanese sisters have worked so hard for the providence in the world, but from now on we should have results to show saying "It is this." I will make that happen for you. It is an urgent matter to prepare to eternally keep the foundation Father established.

I will put everything in order from one to ten and we should make Father's words alive without dropping them on the ground. I came from Geomundo and this place also needs to be restructured. I consider the 2nd gen important. I should educate 2nd gens in order not to make your efforts end in vain. What should you leave behind? You, who, as the Blessed families, lived in the same era with True Parents. What will it be? Your honor? Your money? What will it be? You should leave a solid foundation for later generations, otherwise, the world centering on God won't come soon. Its center must be Korea and Japan. You must be reborn with the principle. Do you understand?

I said that our church must be alive and breathing, where the lecture of the principle continues unceasingly. Give lectures to three people at the church every day, and eventually we need to make new Blessed families. The sooner the better. I am 70 years old, aren't I? If I live 30 years more, I will be 100. How will I look like then? You are younger and so you can have more hope, but I have much less time. Do you understand?

Take the ownership and do activities which are alive and breathing. Then the spirit world will help you 100%. What is the wish in the spirit world? What is our wish? It is the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and heaven, that is Cheon Il Guk. How exciting, rejoicing and graceful is it to realize it during our life time? If you live really feeling it, how can you just sit calm? How are can you be OK without making any efforts? Our goal won't disappear on the Foundation Day. We have to Bless all humanity and make the people of Cheon Il Guk. In order to do so, what should you do?

(Mother wiped her tears.)

The spirit world won't help those who live just doing what they are told to do without making any difference between yesterday and today. Do you understand? You must be able to feel the true meaning of 사생결단 전력투구 (死生決斷 全力投球: Give one's all risking one's life).

Be a person who makes a report to Heaven every day and moves with Heaven all the time. Now, you must work hard as if 24 hours a day weren't enough. You need to work in place of the spirit world and so, think of one day as 28 hours. You should be reborn with the truth (말씀 The Word). Without considering any condition, you purely wanted to come and see Parents and wanted to listen to the Parents with a thankful mind. You didn't think of yourself as 'If I make this much effort, I will get this much,' or 'If I do this, I will become a leader.' In early days in the church, there wasn't such a thing. We have to go back to that time. I think we must establish the Unification Church where true love overflows.

Main Directions of the Church Based On True Mother's Speeches

Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han -- September 15, 2012

Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han -- September 15, 2012

1. from September 30, 2012 (Chuseok Assembly)

How can we go back to the early Unification Church that was alive with spirit and truth?

Can we become a church where the words of the Principle are taught without ceasing, a church crowded with young people wanting to hear God's word and receive the Blessing?

President Hyo Won Eu taught the words of the Principle 16 hours a day. We have to return to that time, when he risked his life to convey God's word despite the difficulties arising from his physical disability.

How we can create a church increasing with new members, a church filled with vitality.

I can no longer suppress my desire to create a Unification Church similar to when President Hyo Won Eu lectured with passion

I want to return to the time when President Hyo Won Eu lectured with all his soul, all his life and all his Shim Jung.

I want to recreate that era when worshiping on Sunday was not the end, where we conveyed God's word through our lives 24 hours a day, where we yearned to see shikku again, where the words of the Principle were taught without ceasing, where we brought people to the church because we were desperate to have as many people as possible hear the words of the Principle.

But the terrible thing now is that there aren't enough people to do the work. There are no young people. Everyone is in their 60s and 70s. Where did all the young people go? What were you doing all this time? (Mother sheds tears again.) I will step down as Chairman of the Board of Sun Moon Education Foundation. I will devote my full time to the work of the church. Witnessing to new members is important, but it is heartbreaking that we have not been able to offer the second and third generations to Heaven. Twenty thousand second generation have all been washed away into the secular world. Only 100 second generation are available to work now. That's all the second generation who are in public positions now. This is something truly shameful.

I will sell this helicopter and use the money to educate leaders.

We need to let people know about Father, we need to witness, we need to bring the second and third generation situation under control, the Unification Family needs to show incredible growth.

Beginning on the 25th [of the eighth month on the heavenly calendar], I had Bo Hi Pak conduct events at the Cheon Bok Gung to commemorate Father for the purpose of telling people about Father and testifying to him.

It is important to make Father known.

I am going to reduce the many projects that had been initiated until now.

We will focus our energies only on witnessing.

My two sons created a miracle at the Cheon Bok Gung.

I intend to fill it with love, Shim Jung and the holy spirit. So now the Unification Church will return to the pioneering spirit.

You (regional leaders) will lecture the Divine Principle every day and have revival meetings.

Lecture with the Shim Jung of President Eu Hyo Won when he lectured at the risk of his life.

Itinerant Workers will tour the country with the Church President.

These tours will not be only for the sake of the Word.

Listen to the situations of each church as you tour and figure out how the church can become a place where the Principle is taught without ceasing.

Go to the churches in each region and listen to the situations in the field.

You must make yourselves so busy your feet will catch fire.

2. From September 23, 2012 (on the 21st day after True Father ascended)

I promised Father that I would work to fulfill all that he had desired to do for humanity until my last day on earth.

I need to reorganize Korea's presently complicated situation, and I intend to establish the tradition of marching forward centering on the holy spirit and the truth in our Unification Church.

With the goal of nurturing our church to become a spontaneous one,

I hope you will understand that everything that is carried out in Korea from this day onward will be centered on True Mother.

Our first goal is to do our absolute best and fight at the risk of our lives to firmly establish Cheon Il Guk by Foundation Day.

I hope you will not forget that the responsibility to bring this nation and all its citizens to receive the Blessing from True Parents lies with you.

Only by working a hundred times or a thousand times harder than before can you repay the love and grace you have received from True Father.

We will now make our Unification Church a living and breathing church, as it was in the early days.

We will develop it into a spontaneous, creative and dynamic church, unrestricted by numbers or systems.

We will make it into a church centered on the Principle and on love, which will be like a nest with the warmth of a mother's embrace that will make us wish to go there and always remain there.

As in the beginning time, we will make it so that the sound of Divine Principle lectures is constantly heard in our churches.

From September 17, 2012 Assembly of Worldwide Membership

Our Future Path

According to heavenly law, True Father will now make the spirit world his base and, while freely traveling between the spirit world and the physical world, he will carry out the providence to expand Cheon Il Guk. True Father will come down to the physical world as the substantial being of the God of Night and shall preside over the providence in a state of oneness of heart, body, harmony and mind with True Mother, who shall continue to preside over the providence on earth as the substantial being of the God of Day. Through the victory of Foundation Day, he will be with you in building the original Garden of Eden on earth. There is no stopping Heaven's providence.

At this new transition point in this historic providence, I want to make clear that I shall inherit True Father's victorious foundation and stand in the forefront to lead the providence on earth.

In so doing, I would like to convey the following to everyone:

First, we must absolutely value the tradition established by True Parents as much as we value our own lives, and pass this down to our descendants, the future generations.

True Parents established

1. the tradition of love and heart,

2. the Word and principles,

3. the rules and regulations of our tradition,

4. and the tradition of the culture of heart.

The Hoon Dok Hae tradition of reading the Word, which is the crystallization of True Parents' course in the providence of restoration through indemnity, should become the central practice in each family as well as in the churches and any gathering centered on Heaven.

Please never forget True Parents' tradition, by which the order and tradition of our organization is based on a complete unanimity that forms a unified body with the True Family centered on True Parents, and the Abel figure at the center.

Second, we must complete the ideal of the blessed family with which Heaven has blessed us. The family is the cradle of true love, true life and true lineage, and the basis upon which is realized the purpose God envisaged at the time of the Creation. Based on the eight verses of the Family Pledge, you should uphold the tradition of the absolutely good lineage with absolute faith.

1. Our vision for peace evokes pure love, happy families and a peaceful world.

2. Children should be raised and nurtured with love and through the Word within a tradition of conjugal oneness through parents who attend Heaven with absolute love.

3. Through Hoon Dok Hae, you should foster the firm establishment of the Cheon Il Guk order in your families, and fulfill the ideal of the Blessing, in which the tradition of heart can take root both vertically and horizontally under the standard of noon-time settlement.

Third, you have all received the blessing of being tribal messiahs. Thus, you must work to fulfill that mission and responsibility until the time that Cheon Il Guk is completed on earth.

Tribal messiahship is the greatest of all blessings given to you by True Parents, because fallen people could not be appointed tribal messiahs were it not for the foundation of victory in the providence of restoration through indemnity.

That is why True Parents have consistently emphasized the tribal messiah mission during their lifelong governance of the providence.

The physical and spiritual completion of Cheon Il Guk on earth becomes possible when tribal messiahs fulfill their mission, passing on to each clan the Word, participation in the Blessing Ceremony and a lifestyle of living for the sake of others.

Your clans would thereby establish the sovereignty of goodness and realize a world of peace, one great human family. When a victorious foundation is established in each clan, the Abel UN will automatically be safely established on that foundation and the sovereignty of goodness will be completed.

Fourth, all of us must create a community based on the culture of heart characterized by harmony and unity, with True Parents and the True Family at the center.

Each of you, without exception, found the path of God's will because

1. you were chosen by Heaven,

2. because of the merits of your ancestors

3. and because of your own character.

You faced immeasurable persecution in order to follow True Parents until entering this realm of victory today. That makes us all a part of a single family, a community of heart centered on one Parent.

Division and conflict continue to afflict the world but the Unification Family can become brothers and sisters who can easily transcend race, national borders, and any other barrier. If you can show an exemplary life of giving and live for the sake of others, this dream will surely come true.

Especially as we are in this time of great transition in the providence, I ask that you bear this in mind and engrave in your hearts that we must become one with True Parents.

True Father, in the spirit world, is always with us. He exists without corporeal form, but he will never leave our sides even for a moment. What do you think he desires from us at this time? It is to march forward without pausing.

God's providence must continue until all people are centered on True Parents and a culture of heart overflowing with love and peace takes root, establishing a new order.

Moreover, on the basis of the victory of Foundation Day, we should further advance to offer great glory to Heaven and to True Parents and to instill great hope in the world, to continue throughout history.

I shall be faithful to True Father's life and tradition.

He set the example for us and led by example his entire life, doing his absolute best to achieve victory in the providence.

The requests I have conveyed to you today are True Father's last words as he was departing for the spirit world.

Our Unification Church originated from divine spirit and the truth

While Father was still in the hospital, I told the regional presidents that at this point, "For us there is no stopping." Now that Father has ascended, we need to remember that our Unification Church originated from divine spirit and the truth. Though years have passed, the reality is that we have not seen our church membership increase or our members mature based on our hearts of love emanating from our Shim Jeong.

In the beginning, when Father was carrying out his ministry, once members came to the church, they never wanted to leave. They wanted to stay with Father, even if it meant staying up all night. If there was anything Father wanted done, those members wanted to do it for him, voluntarily and willingly. The life of faith our members led at the time was like that. So, though ours was a small church, it was overflowing with love, and we united and overcame the most difficult of times.

Many blessed couples in the Korean church have unforgettable stories. Married women who had joined the church before their husbands did went through many difficulties when their husbands were unsupportive. Moreover, we were all in a position where we had to go out to pioneer; everyone had to go, regardless of age or sex. Women who had families had to do pioneer witnessing as well; to do that, some even left their children in orphanages.'- The early days of our church were like that.

Thus, Korean church members had to make many sacrifices in advancing the blessing providence from the 36 couples to the 430 couples. (I believe Mr. Kuboki, the former president of the Japanese church, was blessed among the 430 couples; he represented his nation.) Thanks to such early efforts, we now have conditionally blessed up to 400 million couples worldwide, as you well know.

True blessed families that are united centered on True Parents should write Unification Church history. The president of our church in those early days, Rev. Eu, gave lectures all day long, even though he suffered from physical disabilities. Even healthy people find it difficult to give lectures for an hour or two, let alone all day long. Besides, he was undernourished because we were so poor at the time.

The people found and established through that process became the thirty-six couples. This is why we treasure the thirty- six couples, because the root of our collective Shim Jeong is in them. Therefore, all of us, including members in Korea, Japan and the United States, need to return to that beginning time when we were passionate and our church constantly overflowed with true love. We must begin anew. Accordingly, we will have Divine Principle taught continuously in our churches and have workshops continuously.

Father has passed away. How long do you think I will live? Twenty years? Thirty years?

You should pull yourselves together mentally and physically, and do whatever it takes to unite and fulfill what you were unable to do for the Parents -- what you were unable to do though you only received love until now, even if it means making effort, spending sleepless nights. Even then that would not suffice. At this time, you had to see Father ascend earlier than you expected. I'm sure you are feeling deep pain over this. How much have you reflected on this?

As those of you who came to the ceremony may have seen, we sent Father off with a splendid ceremony. I still feel, though, that we could have done more. We should have sent him off on a pan-national, a global scale. As it was, what would we have done if the construction of the Peace Center in Chung Pyung had not been completed?

Therefore, from now on, we need to do our best, which means to witness. This is still a satanic world, so you need to implant the Divine Principle in people's hearts, and nurture them to grow until they are ready to receive the blessing.

I spoke of two things at the leaders' meeting. First, the revival of the church. Second, that I will provide money for scholarships to develop leaders among the first- and second-generation members of our church from all parts of the world. For this reason, though it is my heart's desire to preserve everything True Father used as mementos, I am going to sell the helicopter so that I can take part in cultivating leaders among our second generation worldwide.

This is proof that Father was concerned about the future and that he loved all the world's peoples. I am going to use the money I raise from selling it, and add some more of my own, to carry out this important task. You may also donate whatever amount you wish to this initiative, even if it is just ten dollars. I am telling you this because I want you to know that I am going to spend this money with that purpose in mind.

We have the True Parents and the truth. Do you understand? That is why our future is bright. I will revive all of our churches. Our church in Korea needs to live and breathe. Therefore, through our actions and practices, blessed families need to set an example for others, and bring our neighbors and clans to follow us. The same is true for those in Japan. The leaders -- those in charge -- and the blessed families in Japan should also lead lives of this type.

I have already mentioned to you that you should begin each day by holding Hoon Dok Hae with your families. This was because I feel the urgency of educating our children, second-generation members. Until now, you couldn't find time to spend with your children because you were carrying out church work. Henceforth, however, you should begin your day together having Hoon Dok Hae with your children. Please begin your day in this way.

We need to educate and nurture our second-generation members. No matter what position you are in, you need to think of the generations to come. Moreover, the leaders need to design the future. You need to reflect on how much a sense of urgency and vigor you have toward looking for someone who can take over your responsibility. If you haven't achieved this, you should do your best to do so from now on, risking your lives if necessary. Do you understand what I am saying? (Yes)

Before Father passed away, he made plans and told me about them as we rode here in our car, saying things like, "Mother, I wish for something to be done here. I wish for these people to be nurtured in this way. I wish for this and that to be done here." Now, I know that he had been asking me to do these things because he was preparing to depart this world. Every time he came down here, he always had something to say about what needs to be done.

You might think me greedy if I hope to live thirty more years, so within twenty years I should accomplish all that Father has left incomplete and all that he desired to achieve. The truth is, however, that I am overburdened as things stand. Our most urgent task is to establish the true order and tradition, both internally and externally. Also, as soon as possible, we need to show ourselves and the rest of the world that the Unification Church is still going strong, growing and developing, so that those in the wider world can come to us of their own free will.

It is important for you to try hard in witnessing, but we also need these people to come to us of their volition, based on our providential achievements, guided by the thought in their hearts, Oh! This is my ultimate destination!

We also need to bring them to receive the blessing. This is called for in this era, right after True Father' ascension, which is why we cannot delay any longer. I will continue on. At this time, don't you feel the need for us to witness to as many people as possible? We do.)... I know that you have tried to show True Father's glory and prestige to the world, but if you had witnessed to more people and restored the nation, they would have come even if we had told them not to. We need to effectuate that.

What is truly important is the number of people we can call our members, those who know the Divine Principle, not just the number of people that come to Sunday Service. Do you understand what I mean? (Yes)

We need to continue giving Divine Principle lectures in our churches. People need to be reborn through the teachings. When such individuals, families, tribes, peoples and nations can practice true love, that is where Cheon II Guk is. That is the kingdom of heaven on earth. When this happens, each and every individual will find peace in his or her own heart.

I had a dream in the early days, right after Father and I married. In the dream, I was holding a child's hand, carrying a package and walking along on a dangerous cliff-edge path. I couldn't see what was in front of me, but I succeeded in following this path without falling over the edge of the cliff. At the end of the path, I reached a bright light. I believe that time is now.

Let us all work hard so that on Foundation Day many people will come flocking here, like the tide coming in, whether they are eminent members of society or ordinary people. Let's make it a day on which large groups of people come flowing in like clouds.

This is why we need many capable people. This nation needs to become God's homeland and True Parents' nation as quickly as possible. I will begin by strengthening our internal structure, by developing leaders that can fully devote themselves to guiding members and managing churches.

I believe Father is also telling us, for the last time, You need to accomplish all this, and when you have done so and succeeded in your tasks, come back to me and I will embrace you.

Once again, I ask you to try to become people that True Parents and especially True Father will remember.

Message to Continental leaders and 120 Japanese Leaders

Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han -- December 25, 2011

Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han -- December 25, 2011

(1) Who has to be reborn with the Holy Spirit and Truth first? That is my own self. Everything will start from the place where mind and body are united. Unity of mind and body will start from a heart of gratitude. You have to be grateful for everything. You have to be grateful to live according to the providence, you have to be grateful that you are healthy. You have to be grateful that you are alive. A heart of gratitude is my spiritual nutrition. This is God's Love. Actually you didn't practice this.

(2) Why can't we do witnessing? I thought a lot about that. Outside people dream about Mega churches. Bad people couldn't last that well. Christianity grew and developed with only the Bible. Afterwards, it divided into many denominations. Even Christianity could grow with only the Bible though we have the Divine Principle which can solve the fundamental problems? We have to repent about this point. Our arrogant attitude that we know the truth, became an obstacle to development.

(3) Heaven will choose the one who is pure. During this 40-day period, True Father is arranging all the matters in the spirit world to make a new start. Like when we move house, we have to buy some necessary things and rearrange everything. True Father also does like that. He is making a new start in the spirit world. True Father didn't go to paradise like Jesus but he has completed, perfected and concluded everything.

(4) Jesus told us that he would come back and gave key to heaven to Peter. True Father got married and united with True Mother, this is different from Jesus. True Father works as the substantial God. Until now the spirit world was much more influenced by evil. God was in the minority and lonely. True Father liberated the lonely God.

(5) Now True Father stays together with me for 40 days, True Father went back and forth between heaven and earth, he went through all the process of creation. True Father worked for 60 yrs. To choose Korea as the fatherland but none of you could fulfill your responsibility. Especially those who were trusted by True Father couldn't fulfill their responsibility. They didn't attend True Father with a heart of gratitude. That's why you couldn't live with a heart of multiplication. You have been living with too much self-centeredness. True Father was so shocked to see this reality when he went to the spirit world. True Father came to know this reality when he went to the spirit world. True Father told me that he is grateful to me for making such a strong determination.

(6) Now we have only one chance. This opportunity will never come back again. You have to spend your time with the heart of prisoner who is waiting on death row. You have to show it by practicing 24 hrs. 48 hrs.. If you take a rest, you cannot save anybody.

(7) Up to now. Dae Mo Nim couldn't work easily. Dae Mo Nim's work is only possible when True Father works together with her. From now on, True Father will work through Chung Pyung and me. You have to feel this as a reality.

(8) Now Japan is slowing down very much. Rev. Song who is the President of the Japanese Unification Movement has to re-educate Japanese leaders. There is only one way we can go. When you go to the spirit world without fulfilling your mission, you won't be recognized by True Father and you will become the object of lamentation for your descendants and they will accuse you. If I don't spend this period as a patriot, the spirit world will curse me forever.

(9) When you go to the spirit world 20-30 years later, what kind of result will you bring? Depending on my result, the spirit world will react differently. I restructured the system of the Korean Headquarters and Korean church. I did my best to restructure the system. I will guide you directly. Through the internet system, I will check everything. I am trying to make the local churches bigger. I don't want to make Headquarters bigger. Local churches as hand and feet should be healthy.

(10) I will encourage and handle the regional directors of Korea directly. I don't need any person who tries to keep their own position. You have to be active. The Church has to breathe in order to live. As long as you are alive, you will develop definitely. Do you want to meet this golden opportunity from heaven by just sitting down and watching?

(11) We have to get many church members in order to restore one nation. Even to bring the Foundation of Substance for Foundation Day, if you know the way, you may not have any difficulty. When you form a common base with heaven, God will work through you.

(12) On the first Sunday of every month, we will hold Sunday Service with members from all over Korea at the Peace World Center. How much sincerity do you have to raise up each member? I already gave you the direction how to do that. If I have the opportunity, I would like to do this way in Japan, too. The way for Sunday Service should be same all over the world.

(13) Like the Bible in Christianity, we have to arrange True Father's speeches in one book. We will offer this at Foundation Day to True Father. We will make a very beautiful book of True Father speeches. You can take this book wherever you go. In this book, there will be True Father's prayer, guidance for church ceremonies, etc., all these contents will be put into one book.

(14) With this one book, everybody can have confidence. We will arrange True Father's speeches to make that kind of a book. We will work with one system forever. When we do this, there won't be another branch with this one book, God can work directly. Do you think by uniting with True Father, there will be no miracle?

(15) You have to take advantage of Chung Pyung. This is the only way to survive. From now on those who talk negatively about Chung Pyung, I will call them "Dude". You should not see Chung Pyung from human viewpoint. When True Father planned the Chung Pyung work for one generation, he told many things and let us hurry. In this place, we will build a museum about Father's life course. How much did you help Chung Pyung? Did you make Chung Pyung by yourself? From now on, all the activities and way of thinking have to have consistency with True Parents. Then you can have infinite development.

(16) The problem is you. You have to live a heart of appreciation toward heaven. You have to appreciate everything.

(17) I have to trust all of you again. There is no choice, I have to trust you. This is the only way for me to work. From now on, we will do the Holy Day Celebrations only 4 times a year. God's Day, True Parents Birthday and Parents' Day will be done at one time. Centering on the Day of All Things, Children's Day, we will gather to celebrate. Children's day this year, you can do in your continent and in your church. This means you have to do your best through practicing in order to bring better result.

(18) You have to practice more than giving words. You have to bring a lot of result. Now I want to hear the report that each nation has been restored in front of heaven. Unification Church should be the national religion.

(19) Now I am incorporating the "Scholarship Foundation" and " Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation".

(20) To those who graduate from university this year, we will give scholarships for Cheong Shim Graduation School to educate them. They will study for 2 years and then I will let them do field work for 3 years. Then 3 years later. They can choose the way which is fit according to their ability. I will make that school as a heavenly soldier school more famous than West Point. Up to now, Unification Church couldn't raise leaders. I felt so sorry and ashamed in front of heaven. The whole world has to participate in this.

(21) This time I will offer new Holy Wine. Before Foundation Day, you have to purify your mind and body. You have to come back here with repentance.
