Members from the Seoul metropolitan area who participated in Hoon Dok Hae

With the start of the month of October, Hoon Dok Hae was held in the 3rd floor Hoon Dok room at Cheon Jeong Gung Palace with the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Mankind, attended by about 200 members from the Seoul metropolitan area.

True Mother arrived at the Hoon Dok room at 6:00 am, and after the members offered a bow of respect, Mrs. Wonju McDevitt read from Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book on True Parents, chapter 4, page 213, True Parents and True Children, section 1, The Path of True Parents.

True Mother addressing the members

After the reading was finished, True Mother directed Rev. Yuk-hyun Cho, Regional Director of Gangnam Church, to present a testimony about Gangnam region's exemplary work. Rev. Cho said that the region's success was due to first focusing on unity of heart, and attending the older members in the region. He continued by saying that, in alignment with Vision 2020, they had been holding small and large group worship, which gave two strong wings to support a systematic witness program.

After the testimony, True Mother spoke to the 200 top members gathered from the Seoul Metropolitan area.

True Mother talked about the Pilgrims who risked their lives to make the difficult journey to America in search of religious freedom. When they arrived in America, the first thing they did was build a church where they could worship God, and the second thing they did was build a school where they could educate their descendants. Only after these were finished did they begin to build their houses. She entreated the members to likewise plant seeds for their descendants and for the future.

True Mother continued, saying that later, America, which should have heard True Parents' words, united with them and fulfilled the role of witnessing to True Parents, became morally sick, so starting from 1975 True Father trained young world missionaries at East Garden to help America. At that time, True Father referred to these young leaders whom he was training to guide America as 'Top Guns'. They worked a like spiritual special forces unit, and now they are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's. Unfortunately, the base of 2nd generation members who can take over their work is still weak. With Vision 2020, it is time to step up our efforts in the providence. Therefore, True Mother has started a special workshop at Chung Pyung for a new generation of Top Guns, educating them to inherit True Parents' vision and tradition. Then we will have a force of 1st and 2nd generation Top Guns, and together they can accomplish Vision 2020.

True Mother also told the members, "You must live the kind of life that you can proudly report to Heaven every day. You must keep a tradition of starting the day with Hoon Dok Hae, and then spend your time in a life of sharing. You must make sure everyone in your neighborhood knows about True Parents. Every day, you must carry the determination that you will accomplish this, starting with your own family."

Do Not Be Like the Ten Forgotten Ones

I have called you all here in order to honor Father's will. I hope that all of those in this era, all of you who have lived with me in this era, become historic figures. Let us look at Joshua and Caleb. Were they the only ones that went out exploring? Twelve people had been assigned that task. What happened to the other ten? They were not remembered through history. Only Joshua and Caleb remained. I have called you all, proud members of the second-generation realm who have inherited one hundred percent of True Parents' tradition, with the heart and hope that you become central figures of this age.

All of you are conducting public lives. Is that right? For this reason, I cannot keep you here for too long. That is why the workshop has been set for twenty-one days. Some of you might have to do even forty days. The reason Chung Pyung is an ideal site is because it is the only place that you can empty yourselves and achieve unity with Heaven. I wanted to give you the opportunity to rearm yourselves with the Principle, listen to new lectures on True Parents' course and become spiritually brighter, by yourselves.

As Father embraced God's will, youthful passion was an aspect about which he was careful. That is why he set up the goal to perfect dominion over himself before wishing for dominion over the universe. You have probably heard from Father himself regarding how he would pray for hours, denying his body after setting up this goal. Right? This applies to you, too. I am not going to hit your bodies, but I hope that you realize that yourselves. I am asking you to train yourselves and to reach body–mind unity.

After accepting God's will at the young age of seventeen, Father's course as he pioneered the way was an indescribable one, filled with blood, sweat and tears, a course in which his life was always at risk. He could not comfortably rest for even a day or a moment and could not eat properly until he turned forty. He threw away everything and followed the one path to realize God's will even under such circumstances.

The 1960 Holy Wedding marked the start of True Parents' providential course. Can you imagine that one moment when True Father, who knew everything, had to end the entire indescribable course True Parents had followed without yet having proclaimed Foundation Day in 2013? Do you realize that he had no other choice but to trust us with everything and go to the spiritual world? If you were alone, you might invest moderate efforts. However, you have children; you have descendants. I hope you can all experience what True Parents felt.

It is faster to solve issues that arise with your children when you take charge of the problem yourself. However, it takes time if you try to find a solution through someone else. You must understand how precious this very moment, this very time, is.

I also like Joshua and Caleb. They were both descendants of noble families. They were loyal to Heaven for over eighty years. Caleb, from his perspective, lacked nothing. Yet, he united with Joshua. Instead of bragging about himself, he elevated Joshua first. This restored the Cain–Abel relationship and formed the foundation that enabled the Messiah to come to earth amidst the Israelites.

I have been thinking a lot about our leaders these days, and I feel that a culture by which leaders can love and brag about each other hasn't been established. We must be able to love and take care of each other more than any other external groups, because we are True Parents' children. We must be completely different. However, we are weak in this respect. I pondered on the cause.

I want to create new environments through you from now on. Do not seek only to get higher positions, but try to live for each other's sakes, nurture each other and be proud of each other. If you can do that, everyone can grow. On the other hand, no development awaits an individual or a group that is self or group-centered and thinks of itself as being well-off and the best. You must understand this. As you followed the Unification Church, some people have had to leave for particular reasons, but even those people that had to leave the church all say they love Parents. However, some people say that they left the church because of a particular member. This is a point you must correct. You are children who should resemble the parents. Yet, if you leave for self-centered reasons and live for yourselves, you will shrink and become smaller. On the other hand, if you live for the sake of others, you grow and develop. Which would you chose? You must ensure that no one suffers pain because of you. As people who save lives, you must not kill any lives. I am talking about people now. You should embrace all siblings, members -- all people; ensure that no one leaves the Unification Church because of you.

You must do everything you can to set this people, this nation, in front of Heaven and restore the world. Right? The center must stand firm. If you can accomplish that, how proud an accomplishment would that be? However, this cannot be realized with only one person. It can be achieved only if you join hands and accomplish twice, three times, four times, ten times or one hundred times more that you have.

You should never forget how important the age we are living in is and who enabled you to live such a life. True Parents enabled you to have such a life.

In 1975, True Father chose missionaries from the United States, Germany and Japan and dispatched them across the world. The global mission history itself is reaching its fortieth year already. Global missions... The Japanese mission is almost fifty-five years old. Only a few have remained until now, but it is also true that they are making great contributions. True Father, centered on the United States, created then what we can call today an elite troop. He gave it a special name, educated the members of the group and gave them responsibilities, but they did not fulfill all their responsibilities. Have you ever heard of the term "top gun?" Will you become the top guns of the new providential era? [Applause]

Become Historical People

CIG Y1 HC 8.19
Cheon Jeong Gung, Chung Pyung, Korea

The reason I gathered you here is by True Father’s will. I hope you can become historical people who have lived in the same era and have lived at the same time with me. Look at Joshua and Caleb. Were they the only ones who went for spying? There were 12 of them. But what happened to the other 10 people? They disappeared. Only Joshua and Caleb remained in history. I have called you with hope that you can all become central figures in the 2nd generation era, who can inherit 100 percent of the traditions of True Parents.

All of you hold public missions, right? Therefore, I cannot keep you here too long. That’s why you need to participate in the 21-day workshop and some of you will have to participate for the 40 days. I wanted to give you an opportunity where you can re-arm with Divine Principle, listen to True Parents’ course newly and you, yourselves, can become spiritually brighter.

What True Father was most careful with, as he was holding God’s will in his heart, was to control his vigorous blood of youth. That is why his goal was to subjugate himself before wanting to subjugate the cosmos. You must have heard he had set this goal and prayed 10 something hours and he paid indemnity physically, right? It is the same for you. I won’t strike you but you yourselves have to realize this point. You have to realize God’s will and heart.

At the age of 17, the True Father went the way of a pioneer as he was holding God’s will in his heart. It was an unspeakable path of blood, sweat, and tears, where he had put his life at risk. Then, until he turned 40, he never rested comfortably even one moment and never ate properly as he should have, and he gave up on everything only for the sake of fulfilling the will and goal he had set.

Since True Parents’ providence started after the Holy wedding in 1960, True Parents’ path was something we can’t even describe in words. Can you imagine the moment, though he knew everything, when he had to put an end to it all before the Foundation day in 2013? Have you thought he had to leave to the spirit world while trusting only you? If it is only you, maybe you could take an easy way but you have children. You have your descendants. I hope you can feel what kind of heart True Parents had.

Regarding raising children, if there is any problem, you can resolve it soon if you do it yourself. But wouldn’t it take time if you have to ask someone to resolve it? You have to know how precious this time and this moment is.

I like Joshua and Caleb. They are from the well-known families. They were loyal to Heaven until they were over 80 years of age. Especially Caleb, who had everything in his position. But he became one with Joshua. He had supported Joshua without showing off. It was the place where the Cain and Able issue was restored. Because they laid such foundation, the Messiah could come through the Israelites.

I have thought many things as I am watching the leaders these days. I don’t think there is such a culture where you love one another and be proud of each other. The heart to love one another and take care of each other should be stronger than any other organizations in the world. It is because you are children of True Parents.

From now on, I want to create a good environment through you. You can all grow together as a whole if you take care of, support, and be proud of each other instead of wanting to become high in position. Any kind of organization or person can’t develop if they think only they are the best and there are no other people who are better than them. You have to know this. Those who have left or dropped out from the church with their personal reasons after having followed Unification Church still love True Parents unchangingly. But they have left because of so and so and this and that. This is something you have to change yourself. You are the children who should resemble parents but if you go centering on yourself, you will shrink. If you lead a life helping others, you will prosper. Which way of life would you choose?

There shouldn’t be anyone who is in pain because of you. You are the ones who should save other peoples’ lives. You shouldn’t be killing others. We are talking about people. There shouldn’t be anyone who leaves the church because of you: you have to embrace everyone with love.

We have to restore the world by putting this tribe and this country in front of God any way we can, don’t we? We have to have the center. How glorious would it be if you could do that? One person alone can’t do it. It can be done only when everyone can help each other and make it double, three times, four times, ten times and 100 times more. You should never forget, because of who it is that you can live in this important era. It is because of True Parents.

True Father has sent out missionaries from America, Germany and Japan in 1975. It has been almost 40 years since he had sent them. It has been 55 years in Japan, I heard. It is true not so many have remained, but they are taking a great portion of responsibility. At that time, True Father gave to those people who were like the elite troops, centering on America, educated and gave responsibilities but they haven’t fulfilled them. Have you heard of Top Gun? Will you become the top gun of this new historical providential era?

Vision 2020 Second-Generation Missionary Training in Korea

Translator: Lymhwa Kim

True Mother gave words of encouragement to Top Gun 21 day trainees at the Peace Palace in Gapyeong, Korea.

A 21-day training for young Unificationists called to assist in missionary work related to the Vision 2020 project recently was inaugurated in Korea according to a report on the Tongil website. Dubbed as the church’s “Top Guns,” the 36 second-generation youth heard words of encouragement from True Mother at the ceremony September 23, 2003 at the Peace Palace, in Chung Pyung, Korea.

True Mother explained “how hard it was for Moses to lead the Israelites” and “the reason why out of 12 tribal representatives Moses charged to investigate the region of Canaan in ancient times, only Caleb and Joshua become historical people due to their absolute faith.” She encouraged second- generation leaders to have as much faith as Caleb and Joshua.

The 36 Second generation leaders listened to True Mother’s words carefully.

She also observed that “True Father was never able to rest properly in his age from 17 to 40 since he started working on God’s will. She urged the gathering to think about the fact that Father lived his life like this and not to forget Father’s heart.”

Especially for this ceremony, True Mother used the word, “Top Gun,” which True Father used in 1980s when he was training missionaries at East Garden in United States. She expressed her wish that the Top Guns would inherit Father’s vision and tradition of training set in the early days and that they would become successful leaders who accomplish Vision 2020.

Mr. Gyeong Deuk Yu, president of the Youth Federation for World Peace, who participated in training, said “When I listened to True Mother’s speech I was able to enjoy the benefits of True Mother’s grace. Also, I was able to make new determination. I hope through this 21- day training my fellow second generation will work towards Vision 2020 with one heart and mind.”

The 21- days training will be held until October 13, 2013 at the Chung Pyung Training Center.

Preparing for the Second Anniversary of True Father's Seunghwa

I know you have all worked hard until now. Thank you. However, we have a special mission. We are fortunate, out of all the people, to have lived with True Father and to be able to live as blessed families attending True Parents. In relation to the future, no greater blessing exists. Our Heavenly Parent has certainly given us a large blessing. Isn’t that right? [Yes!]

We received an unprecedented blessing. In light of that, how should we live? We learn many different things through history. We made different decisions about how to conduct our lives based on True Father’s deeds and the many teachings he gave to us.

Please think for a moment about how God started the Creation with the formation of heaven and earth and concluded it hopefully with the conception of Adam and Eve. He expressed his happiness and then rested. Adam and Eve were God’s hope for the future. They were supposed to grow well and become God’s body. You know that In the end, they were supposed to become humanity’s True Parents. What happened?

Adam and Eve were meant to treat absolute faith, love and obedience as the most precious aspects of life, as should we, but they failed to act in that manner. That is why they ended up forming the fallen world. As a result, God ended up living in loneliness instead of living in his almightiness. The Bible mentions that human history is six thousand years old. How many people do you think lived in this fallen world before going to the spiritual world throughout those six thousand years? The spiritual world, where God dwells, is a painful place. In a word… How did Father describe God? He described God as a lonely God, a resentful God. Fortunately, True Parents could liberate and completely free God by fulfilling their responsibilities. God obtained freedom through True Parents. However, there is one more point you need to consider. People who live in the satanic world end up not knowing God or understanding the providence. Are spirits white or black? Until now, the spiritual world was completely in the dark. However, the Unification Church and the spiritual intervention in Chung Pyung have enabled the spiritual world, which was in the dark, to come into the light.

I would like you to consider this: Do you think the spiritual world, which is in the dark, would brighten at once now that Father has gone to the spiritual world? You must make an environment for Father. Do you understand?

I can say that the period until the first anniversary of Father’s ascension was one through which True Father made the necessary preparation to conduct activities freely in all aspects of the entire spiritual world. Through the spiritual intervention at Chung Pyung and Dae Mo Nim’s intervention, they have been able to brighten the spiritual world, which was in the dark, by liberating ancestors. Is that correct? [Yes]

True Father has gone. What should we do to help Father more freely and widely intervene on earth with a thousand-fold greater effect of God-like phenomena? You must liberate all of your ancestors. As for those who have been witnessed to… Today, we have specifically brought to life 1,200 new spiritual children. You must educate them and help them liberate all their ancestors. Only by doing that will the dark spiritual world become brighter. Do you understand? [Applause]

Just as Dr. Yang reported, once the first anniversary of Father’s ascension was completed, secular society took our side in cases that had brought us great anxiety, ones that secular society had not been able to understand. When you advance in unity with True Parents, the entire spiritual world will be with you. This is what our Heavenly Parent and True Parents were hoping for.

It is also your present responsibility and mission to create an environment. Do you understand? [Yes] We must be able to expand the environment by tens or hundreds of times by the second anniversary, next year. By doing that, those in the spiritual world can give us greater support. Let us all become dedicated and loyal children that can fulfill our responsibilities at all costs by 2020.

In all the areas I look into, you have certainly received many blessings. However, when dwelling on ways to thank and repay Heaven for the precious things we have received, sleep would not easily come to us. Think about this. It was the Bible that led Christianity throughout its two-thousand-year history. Once the Bible was translated into English, it was used to witness to the world. However, it took a long time to translate the Bible. It has been said that a perfect translation of the Bible emerged in the sixteenth century under King James. A long time passed before it happened; all the people, that came and went before this translation, ended up going to the spiritual world in the dark, not knowing anything about God’s providence. When we consider this, how blessed are we in comparison. Everything has been given to us. The Cheon Il Guk Scriptures that were published this time are eternal. If we can love, believe and practice the scriptures, we can achieve with our own hands the kingdom of heaven on earth, the ideal world of freedom, peace, unity, and joy that Heaven has hoped for and we have hoped for. In other words, each one of us can establish a tribe and nation. What greater blessing is there than this?

That is why Heaven specially raised the Korean people. Finally, this country has become the chosen nation through True Parents. Responsibility follows us as the chosen nation and we should fulfill it. Chairman Cheol-seung Lee said something quite interesting during his memorial address. He said that if servants do something great, the master also receives good treatment as a result. Who is the servant? In this environment? I do not know how it sounds to you, but the servants are those in the Cain-realm of this nation. Briefly, they must be aware of and attend True Parents. For that to occur, those that have already come to know of True Parents must introduce those in the Cain-realm of this nation to True Parents and educate them.

Did Korea fulfill her responsibility during the first anniversary of Father’s ascension? She did not? By the second anniversary, each of you has the responsibility to help the servants do well and receive the deserved treatment through you.

That path is one on which you must witness harder than ever. Will you all become proud Unification Church blessed family members that can show glory in front of our Heavenly Parent and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind? Can you become such blessed family members? [We can.]

As we prepare for the second anniversary, full of hope, I would like to ask you again to please do your utmost.

Hak Ja Han Honors Exemplary Families in Korea

August 31, 2013
Translated by Lymhwa Kim from Tongilgyo.org

Mr. Ou Gi Kim and Mrs. Ki Soon Kim, the top witnessing couple, presented flowers to True Mother.

“Awards for the Victory of Vision 2020” were held at the Cheon Jeong Gung in Gapyeong, Korea on August 31, 2013. Approximately 1,300 came to the event.

Dr. Chang Shik Yang served as emcee of the event. The event included the reports about the one year Seonghwa anniversary, True Mother’s speech and awards for families which did outstanding outreach, etc.

True Mother gave spiritual guidance, urging those present to build a new environment according to the vision of the Founders.

The event started at 6:00 a.m. Mr. Ou Gi Kim and Mrs. Ki Soon Kim (a 1,800-blessed couple who have brought 111 people to sign membership) presented flowers to True Mother.

After that, the 124 couple’s club, the association of Korean-Japanese 30,000 blessed couples, Mr. Jeong Won Lee, a member of the board for the Youth Federation for World Peace and representatives of all blessed families presented gifts to True Mother.

The awardees posed with True Mother.

Mr. Jong Su Kim, the senior pastor of Gangwon Parish, gave the report prayer. “Now we are together with True Mother. The people gathered here today had brought at least 10 people to sign membership following True Mother’s call for a witnessing campaign. This is a place where proud Unificationists are gathered. We will brag about True Parents. Please don’t be concerned. We are not here to brag about ourselves. We are gathered here to determine to love True Parents more and more and to build True Parents’ nation even if we are naked or wearing poor clothes. So please be happy!”

After the report prayer Hoon Dok Hae followed. They read the new Cheon Seong Gyeong, book 2 chapter 4, “True Parents, True Children and Father’s prayer.”

Afterwards, Dr. Chang Shik Yang reported the events held to commemorate True Father’s one year Seonghwa anniversary.

True Mother emphasized the role and responsibilities of blessed families. She told the gathering: “Those who received blessings from True Parents have a special mission. I wish for you to become filial sons, daughters and loyalists who make Heavenly Parent’s and True Parents’ wishes come true.” Also, she mentioned that the deeper meaning of commemorating Father is “Fulfilling Heavenly Parent’s desire through making a foundation to build new environment.”

The awards for the exemplary families followed.

The Word Must Breathe within Us All

Hak Ja Han
August 24, 2013

Photo date and location unknown

Please be seated. You have worked hard until now. I will also sit and speak more comfortably. As you saw in the video, these teachings are our root. If we were to compare ourselves to the structure of our physical bodies, these teachings are our backbones. If something goes wrong with the backbone, all organs become twisted, and then you become sick. In other words, it is very important. Do you understand? We can live with Father because these teachings appeared. After Father’s ascension, I first spoke about returning to the faith we had in our church’s early days, which were filled with the Holy Spirit and the truth.

When the Holy Spirit and the truth become one, the word begins to live and breathe. Do you understand? Hence, these teachings are the word of life for you. Should you be thirsty when you have the word of life? No. These teachings must live and breathe within you for your health and future generations.

However, they should not be limited to you alone. I said that we must create the environment. If the dominion of goodness grows, the shadow of darkness will naturally disintegrate and disappear. Whether we accomplish this within our generation will depend on how we expand this dominion. No one knows for sure how many more years he or she has before passing into the spiritual world. I am also in my seventies. How many more years do you think I will live? Not many people can confidently say they will live in good health for a hundred years. It may be possible for those who invest special effort, but as one approaches a hundred years of age, naturally all organs lose firmness. Do you understand? They slacken. Many fail to keep this in mind.

Thus, it is necessary for you to become determined now and act upon that. You are the one that has to make the environment in the areas you have been given responsibility over. That is why it is crucial.

You fully understand this. Don’t you? When Father conducted the global providence, he loved Japan more than any other country. Can you all personally feel that? [Yes] True Father came as a man; however, just as Rev. Young-hwi Kim explained earlier, the providence cannot work with man alone. Regarding the global providence, man-centered countries alone cannot conduct them. Do you understand what I am trying to say? This also applies to the cultural history of humanity. Where did the cultural history of humanity start? Did it start from the Italian Peninsula? Where did the providence move from the peninsula? From a peninsula, where did it move to? It went to an island. It must now come back to a peninsula. Isn’t that right?

When the time comes to bring a culmination within human history… Through whom did Japan receive blessings? Japan, from the perspective of the providence and cultural history, must accomplish its Eve mission. Don’t mothers in today’s world do that? A father goes out to earn money while the mother uses the money earned to manage the household. Right? The mother raises the family, educates the children. Right? A woman’s scale of activities is larger than that of a man. Isn’t it? A mother also reestablishes a family; for example, it is a daughter-in-law’s mission to make the family rich. According to a Korean saying, a poor family can become wealthy if a good daughter-in-law enters the family. That is because the environment created by the daughter-in-law in that family is big.

Big in size also requires consumption of the same amount. Consumption, effort, dedication, sacrifice, living for others… When it comes to practicing the most important parts of Father’s teachings, we always avoid responsibility. Many people think this way. However, that is an erroneous thought. Some people have heard my testimony. When I first met Father, I understood the providential history and the providence of restoration through indemnity. I had not studied the Divine Principle, but I just understood it….

Father absolutely needed my support in order to be victorious and in order to complete and conclude his mission as the returning Lord. However, I never placed responsibility on other people; I always paid all indemnity myself, completed all of my responsibilities. I will work on developing God’s ideal, bringing victory, and defeating Satan as long as I live. Everyone! You have just heard this! Isn’t Mother great? You could all become blessed families because I devoted and sacrificed my body and mind. [Aju]

All of you here today, especially Japanese members, must look up to Mother. You must love Mother more than you love anyone else. If you do so, you will receive double blessings. If you do so, you will meet Father. Do you understand? [Yes] I hope that you do your best to restore Japan as a nation centering on these teachings, on the Cheon Il Guk Scriptures. You invested a lot of hard work to make this scripture box [Cheon Seong Gyeong], especially, Mr. Seok-byeong Kim who was in charge of the execution of the scripture box.

I had to meet the people directly that were building the box in the factory. I coached them on every single detail. As you all know, summer this year has been sweltering. The humidity made it even more difficult. The lacquer is natural, not made with chemicals. Applying it once would be insufficient. It was applied and then dried, applied and then dried, applied and then dried. This had to be repeated seven or eight times for this color to emerge. Those in charge have worked hard. Making this box in such a short time would have been impossible had those in charge not had sincere respect for the True Parents and had they not had this ideology…

This scripture box is also like a precious stone. Since the scripture box must contain True Father’s gem-like teachings, they were made with a great deal of dedication and are every bit as good as a precious stone. You are the first people to receive these scripture boxes. Don’t you feel grateful? I understand that this event must come to a close and then after taking post-event photographs, many of you have to go to the airport. Right? That means I should not hold you here for much longer. Let me just sing you a song.

I am carrying the tremendous responsibility to restore God’s homeland by 2020. Will you help me? I will then sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Please stand up. Let us sing together. [True Mother sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic and Omaya Nunaya.]

I said yesterday that we have become one from this moment on, right? From this moment on, the True Family, all of you, and I have become one. Yes.
