Earthly Life and Spirit World (Part 1) - 026 by Rev. Sun Myung Moon [1] The Existence Of Human Beings On Earth And In The Spirit World 4) The Preciousness Of The Physical Body
1. You Have To Prepare On The Earth - 2
Even though we live in this world, we know there is the spiritual world besides the physical world. We know this world and the spiritual world are not two different worlds but should be connected as one.
Then what kind of place are we supposed to go and live? Even though we live in this world with a physical body, we are aiming toward the eternal world.
After their birth, people in this world simply pass through their teens, twenties, thirties, middle age, prime age, and old age. After they pass youth and reach their prime, they enter old age gradually. They finish their life like the sunset.
However, those who know that there is a spiritual world are aware that our life here is short but the world after death is eternal. Therefore, our life is a time to prepare for the eternal life. Isn't this world like that?
For example, there is a certain standard in school of how many credits a student has to gain in one semester and in one year. If the standard is 100 percent, you can be recognized in school according to how much you accomplished toward the goal. The less you accomplish, the further you will be from the standard of the school. We can use this standard to calculate everything.
We live in the physical world like students preparing to gain credit in school. We prepare to gain credit throughout our life, aiming for the result that we are destined to accomplish in our life process. In other words, you live daily life based on the standard of how much you accomplish of your responsibility. (140-121)
How great is God? God is absolute. If God has a desire to say, "You should do it for me," do you think God provided the providence for salvation and is tiredly waiting for the fallen world?
If I put you in God's position, how many days could you take His role? One week? (No.) Then one month? This is the problem. If you go to the spiritual world, you have to face it at once. Please, ask yourself when you wake up in the morning, wash your face, and look at yourself, "What did you do? What are you going to do?"
The answer is obvious. You don't have to make excuses. It is clear. Don't you know yourself in the mirror well? You know which level of the spiritual world you are going to mostly. Do you know what I'm talking about? (Yes.) Death is coming. When you die, you'll be pulled according to how much you lived for yourself. If you are seldom selfless, you'll be pulled in this way. Even though I taught you very clearly, some fail and some go to hell. These people can't accuse me. They can't say, "Why didn't you teach me clearly while I was on the earth?"
Therefore, do not do anything for the sake of yourself but think how to live for the sake of God, heaven and earth, your nation, your tribe, your family, and your spouse. If you live for others, you'll be pulled into the perfect world even though you try to escape and try to go backward because you think it is for the sake of yourself. How peaceful it is! How easy it is!
If you live your life centered on yourself, you have to worry about everything, saying, "Oh, I failed this and I failed that." However, if you live for the sake of others for ten, twenty years, everything will be your friend. If you live for the sake of others, your heart becomes empty, so the truth will come to you.
When you try to live with the truth, God will follow you. He belongs to me because He wants to. This is logical. Therefore, those who want to live for the sake of others can completely inherit the Completion Era. This is the conclusion.
What can we be proud of in the Unification Church? What is first? True love! What is next? True Parents! (These words are found only in the Unification Church. We can't find them in the dictionary. We have to make our own dictionary.) Then True Children! What comes next? True tribe! These are our four goals. What is the first one? (True love!) What is the second? (True Parents!) What is the third? (True Children!) What is the fourth? (True tribe!) We have to gain these.Without true love, all these are going to be destroyed. (203-101) |
