Right after the workshop, whenever I prayed, light with bright golden color would spiritually arise from above and around to come into my body to sustain me as a new member. Around that time, my physical father got mad at me for joining the Unification Church, because he had expected me to become a man with a high rank in society after graduating from the University of Tokyo. He came to the Church headquarters in order to take me back home.
As a well-educated person, he had a heated debate with a couple of Church leaders, constantly blaming the Church and scolding me in front of the leaders for about three hours. But, my commitment to God and True Parents was unbent. So, my father gave up and left there with a curse word.
My heart ached very much, because I could not make my beloved father happy, when working to make Heavenly Father happy. With my heart aching thus, I desperately walked to the Headquarters holy ground to pray. No sooner did I say "Heavenly Father" than an invisible yet spiritually tangible fireball with the diameter of about one and a half feet came into my body directly from above, dramatically shaking my whole body with the overwhelming wave of God's love. I think it was literally the Holy Spirit. I felt that the suffering God of love was telling me how happy he was about my small victory over a difficulty. Tears of gratitude came down from my eyes like the Niagara Falls, while my body was trembling. But, those tears were also tears of determination because I was also telling God about my unbreakable pledge and determination to work in order to liberate God and True Parents from their agony and suffering.
