I hope that everyone, all of you who have lived with me in this time, will 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 in history. Only Joshua and Caleb remained. I have called you all, proud members of the second generation, who have inherited 100 percent of True Parents' tradition, with the heart and hope that you will become central figures of this age. All of you are living public lives. Is that right? For this reason, I cannot keep you here for too long, but you need to complete a 21-day workshop. Some of you might even have to stay for 40 days. The reason CheongPyeong is an ideal site is because it is the only place where you can empty yourselves and achieve unity with Heaven. I wanted to give you the opportunity to rearm yourselves with the Principle and listen to new lectures on True Parents' course. I am giving you the chance to become spiritually brighter. 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 his dominion over himself before wishing for dominion over the universe. You have probably heard from Father himself regarding how he would pray for hours, disciplining his body after setting up this goal. This is something you, too, should experience. You need to realize this for yourselves. After accepting God's Will at the young age of 16, 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 40. He turned away from everything else and followed the one path to realize God's Will, no matter what the challenges. The 1960 Holy Wedding marked the start of True Parents' providential course. It is impossible for you to imagine the indescribable course that True Parents had to follow before proclaiming Foundation day in 2013.
Do you realize what it was like for True Father when he had no other choice but to trust us with everything and depart for the spiritual world? If you are alone, you might invest moderate efforts. However, you have children; you have descendants. I hope you can all experience what True Parents felt. You need to understand what a precious time this is. (2013.09.23, Cheon Jeong Gung) |
