Earthly Life and Spirit World (Part 2) - 112 Chapter 2. The Messiah And The Spiritual World Section 4. Father And Spirit World (Part 1)
3) The Spiritual World Is Already Centered On Father - 2
Every one of you who has ever met me in your dream, raise your hands. Everybody should meet me there. Oh, it's good! (laughter) There is no other organization like this in the world. Why has the Unification Church been able to accomplish worldwide growth centering on Father?
No matter where our missionaries go, they can know things by feelings. I have told you a little about this, haven't I? I speak in many places every day and it causes me some confusion. (laughter) If I repeat to you the same story and you feel embarrassed, it's such bad manners.
There are many brothers and sisters who make their moves by receiving such orders from revelations. The communist world says that there is no God and they oppose the existence of God. Regardless of the country, the communist party tries to eradicate all religions. Under such circumstances, God has to prepare.
For example, God has told a similar thing to one woman in a communist country and one man in another communist country. For several years, God told the woman, "The man you will meet in the future is so and so. The place and the time to meet him is so and so." When she followed the direction to go to the place, she met him. She was told that she would meet him five years later in some place and the two of them met each other.
There are many such fairly-tale-like stories. If people have such experiences, no one will say that there is no God. If you experience deep emotions along with experiencing such facts, the feelings stay forever, transcending physical life. Do you understand? [Yes.]
The experience of having passed through your life while loving God and longing for True Parents will leave an impression that will be kept forever. It is the center of our lives. Then, at the border of the spiritual world, walls and partitions will instantly disappear. We can go there directly.
Do you know that God exists, do you believe it? [We believe it.] Does believing come first, or knowing come first? [Believing comes first.] Which is better? [Knowing is better.]
You should know. Believing is far from the facts and knowing is identical to facts. Well, talking about the religious life, do you actualize religion in your life? Your realm of realization should be expressed in your religious life. How proud we can be to live in connection with the substantial realm that is actually expressed, not internalized! We should be thankful. There is such a state.
Raise your hand if you think that the spiritual world doesn't exist. (laughter) There is no mistaking that the spiritual world exists. God exists for sure. It is so powerful when your entire feeling is controlled by the realization that God exists, no matter who denies it.
That is the heart that belongs to the world of God. No matter how much hardship that person goes through on earth, the person with that heart belongs to the nation of God. That person is His child. Everyone, ask yourself if you are in such a state that you would never change your heart, no matter how difficult things may be. What do you think? Are you in that state or are you not in that state? [We are in that state.] You should reach there. It is a hard task.
When you climb over Satan's ramparts and enter the Substantial World, everything will be proven. If you cannot accomplish it, it will be like going across the bridge of a castle but not entering the castle. Unless you enter inside, you won't know anything. No matter how many times you look at it, it won't do. Entering into it surpasses millions of dreams. (224-108)
