Earthly Life and Spirit World (Part 1) - 029 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
3. Habit Is Important
The most important thing now is that we should destroy satanic habits to establish a new heavenly order. (213:19)
I know you like kimchi and kochijan (bean paste with hot pepper.) don't you? (Yes.) Do Western people like kimchi and kochijan? At a glance, they run away. (Laughter.) We are still having leadership seminars in the United States. About 230 people participated in it this time.
They ate kimchi in the hotel. The Western people complained, saying, "Oh! What kind of smell is this? This is the worst smell!" and they ran away. On the contrary, Korean people say, "Oh! It is more delicious than honey." (Laughter.)
How do you destroy a habit? Is it easy? Is it hard? (Hard.) What does it mean? Until now, you have had selfish habits, thinking that you should be superior in the satanic world. Those habits have become condensed. Are such condensed habits stronger or weaker than a habit of eating kimchi and kochijan? (Stronger.)
It is historical. Since the day Satan started his way, a traditional habit like a rotten root has been established. How do we pull it out? Don't be so loud. Don't say so loudly that you learned the Principle from Rev. Moon. Even though you try to dig a hole to bury even the root, it is taller than you. It is too long to pull out from even the top of the tree. Then can you say out loud that you pulled it out, sitting there. It is a serious problem. Do you have confidence to go to heaven? To go to heaven, you have to have a traditional habit centered on God. (213-20)
God is standing at your right side trying to protect you, and Satan is on the left side. He is the evil parent. Do you understand? If Heaven stands in the front, Satan has to go to the back. However, since satanic world stands in the front, God is in the back. God is controlling the right side and Satan is standing in front, controlling the left.
Then, where are they going? Instead of going to heaven, they are going in the opposite direction. They are going to be Epicureans pursuing physical pleasures. However, our way is the opposite.
We go the 180-degree opposite way, to a suffering course and an even more suffering course. The way will be divided in two. Thus, you have to let your mind lead your body to establish good habits within three or five years. (214-228) |
