참父母經 - 036. 탕감길을 간 가족들

참아버님께서 하늘로부터 소명을 받게 된 전후로 가족들과 주변 사람들은 혹독한 탕감을 치러야 했다. 16세 무렵까지 온갖 시련이 몰아쳤다. 사탄의 마지막 참소조건까지 청산지어 완전한 하늘 편 승리의 기점을 확정짓기 위하여 섭리상 불가피한 희생이 뒤따랐다. 3대에 걸쳐 형제들이 객사하거나 행방불명되었다. 더군다나 참아버님의 6남7녀 중 각별히 애정 깊었던 다섯 남매가 연달아 요절하였다. 하늘은 참아버님께서 세상에 마음을 두고 의지할 만한 인연과 관심을 갖는 외적 환경들을 모조리 끊어 버렸다. 이 세상 어느 곳에서도 마음 편히 지낼 수 없는 긴장된 나날을 일생 동안 거쳐 오신 것이다.

1 통일교회의 뜻을 이어받기 위해서는 누구나 탕감노정을 거쳐 가야 합니다. 내가 열여섯 살 때 이 길을 출발하게 되었는데, 그때에는 열세 형제 가운데 여덟만 남고 다섯이 죽었습니다. 또 개가 죽고 소가 죽고 말이 죽었습니다. 도깨비놀음이 발동했다는 것입니다. 이런 도깨비장난 같은 일을 여러분은 모를 것입니다. 수수께기 같은 일들이 참 많았습니다. 우리 가정을 중심삼고 완전히 파탄시키기 위한 악마의 궤계(詭計)가 있었다는 것입니다. 이것이 현실적인 내용입니다. 만국을 대표해서 승리의 패권을 잡기 위해서는 그 싸움터에서 혈족 끝을 중심삼고도 사탄이 참소할 수 없는 내용을 제시해야 되고, 본인 자신의 역사성에 있어서도 세계 만민, 세계 인류 앞에 대표할 수 있는 조건을 제시해야 됩니다. 통일교회도 마찬가지입니다. 통일국을 창건하는 데도 마찬가지라는 것입니다.

2 영적인 현상은 보이지 않는 세계에서 일어나는 것이 아니라 실제로 보이는 곳에서 여러 가지로 나타납니다. 사탄은 모든 수단을 사용해서 아버님의 일가를 망칠 계획을 했습니다. 그 와중에 형님과 누나가 미쳐서 아주 큰일이 났었습니다. 젊었을 때 그러한 영적인 배경과 영적 세계의 문제가 있었던 것입니다. 미친 줄 알았던 형이 가만히 보니 뭔가 이야기를 하는 것입니다. 이야기할 때에 형님이 혼잣말처럼 하는데, 그 내용이 엄청난 것이었습니다. 그리고 말하는 방법이 때에 따라서 달랐습니다. 하루 종일 몇 명의 영인들이 와서 계속 이야기를 하는 것입니다. 그것을 아버님은 바로 알 수 있었습니다.

3 나 자신에게 제일 가까웠던 친구들, 하늘에서 축복해 줄 수 있는 입장에 있는 친구들은 다 데려갔습니다. 세상에서 믿고 의지할 수 있는 것은 다 잘라 버린 것입니다. 그들 중에는 평안북도 사람도 있었고 황해도 사람도 있었습니다. 누구보다 제일 가까웠던 친구들을 다 데려가 버린 것입니다. 또 내가 제일 사랑하던 손아래 여동생을 데려가 버렸습니다. 우리 집에는 딸이 많았지만 이모 집에는 딸이 없었기 때문에 이모의 간청에 의해 그 동생이 이모 집에 가서 살았습니다. 그래서 나는 언제나 그 동생을 위해 많은 기도를 했습니다. 그 동생은 오빠에 대해 절대적이었습니다. 그래서 오빠로서 동생에게 좋은 일이 있으면 어떠한 일이라도 다 해주어야 겠다고 생각했는데 그 기대까지도 다 잘라 버렸습니다. 여동생뿐만 아니라 사랑하는 남동생도 데려갔습니다. 이런 것을 볼 때 탕감에는 용서가 없다는 것입니다. 그런 과정을 거치지 않으면 안 되었던 것입니다.

4 나를 사랑하던 친구들은 전부 영계에서 데려갔습니다. 왜 그들은 영계에서 데려갔는가 하는 것을 지금 생각해 보면, 그들과 사정을 나눌까봐 그랬다는 것입니다. 하나님의 모든 뜻을 책임지고 나가는 내가 그들과 사적인 정을 나눌 우려가 있기 때문이었다는 것입니다. 하나님은 내가 세상에서 관심을 갖는 사람은 모두 데려가 버렸습니다. 이런 것을 잘 알기 때문에 다른 길로 가려야 갈 수가 없다는 것입니다. 내가 못나서 이러는 것이 아닙니다. 생각을 얼마나 많이 했겠습니까?

真の父母経 - 035. 蕩減の道を行った家族

真のお父様が天から召命を受けられたことを前後して、家族と周囲の人々は厳しい蕩減を払わなければならなかった。十六歳（数え）になる頃までに、あらゆる試練が押し寄せた。サタンの讒訴条件を清算し、完全な天の側の勝利の基点を確定するため、摂理上、不可避な犠牲が伴ったのである。三代にわたって兄弟たちが客死し、行方不明になった。さらに、真のお父様を含む六男七女の兄弟のうち、格別に愛情をかけた五人の弟妹が相次いで夭折した。天は、真のお父様が世の中で心を寄せ、頼れる関係や、関心をもつ外的環境を、ことごとく切ってしまった。この世のどこにおいても心安らかに過ごせない緊張した日々を、一生の間、経てこられたのである。
 
１ 統一教会のみ旨を引き継ぐためには、誰もが蕩減路程を経ていかなければなりません。私は十六歳（数え）の時、この道を出発することになりましたが、その時には、十三人の兄弟のうち八人だけを残して五人が死にました。また、犬が死に、牛が死に、馬が死にました。奇怪なことが起きたのです。このような理解し難い出来事を、皆さんは知らないでしょう。謎のような出来事が本当に多かったのです。私の家庭を中心として、完全に破綻させるための悪魔の計略があったというのです。これは現実的な内容です。
 
万国を代表して勝利の覇権をつかむためには、末端の血族においても、その戦場でサタンが讒訴できない内容を提示しなければならず、本人自身の歴史性においても、世界万民、世界人類を代表して歴史的勝利圏を誇り得る条件を提示しなければなりません。統一教会も同じです。統一国を創建するにも同じなのです。
 
２ 霊的な現象は、見えない世界で起こるのではなく、実際に見える所で様々に現れるのです。サタンはあらゆる手段を使って、お父様の一家を滅ぼすことを計画しました。その渦中で、兄と姉が精神的におかしくなり、大変なことになりました。若い頃、そのような霊的背景と霊的世界の問題があったのです。
 
気が狂ったと思った兄が、よく見ると何か話をしているのです。兄が話すときは独り言のように語るのですが、その内容が途方もないものでした。また、言い方が時によって違いました。何人かの霊が来て、一日中話をするのです。そのことがお父様には、すぐ分かりました。
 
３ 私自身にとって最も親しかった友達、天が祝福してくれる立場にいる友達は、すべて連れていかれました。この世で信じ、頼れるものは、一つ残らず断ち切られてしまいました。その中には、平安北道の人もいて、黄海道（ファンヘド）の人もいました。誰よりも親しかった友達が、全員連れていかれたのです。
 
また、私が最も愛した妹が連れていかれました。私の家庭には娘が多かったのですが、母方の叔母の家には娘がいなかったので、叔母さんが懇願し、この妹は叔母の家に行って暮らしていました。それで、私はいつも、その妹のために祈りました。その妹は、兄に対して絶対的でした。ですから、妹にとって良いことであれば、兄としてどんなことでもしてあげたいと思っていたのですが、その期待までもすべて断ち切られてしまいました。妹だけでなく、愛する弟も連れ去られてしまいました。このようなことを見ると、蕩減には許しがないのです。そのような過程を経なければなりませんでした。
 
４ 私のことを愛してくれた友達は、すべて霊界に連れていかれました。なぜ彼らを霊界に連れていったのかを、今考えてみると、私が彼らと私情を交わすかもしれないので、そうしたというのです。神様のすべてのみ旨に責任をもって歩んでいく私が、彼らと私情を交わす恐れがあるからです。神様は、私がこの世で関心をもつ人は、すべて連れていってしまいました。
 
このようなことをよく知っているので、他の道に行こうにも行けないのです。私が愚かなのでこのようなことをしているのではありません。どれほど多くのことを考えたでしょうか。

Chambumo Gyeong - 036. Family indemnity

Before True Father was called by God, his family and relatives had to pay severe indemnity. Until he reached the age of 16, his family was assaulted by all kinds of trials and tribulations. For the sake of the providence sacrifices were their inevitable lot. They made the final sacrificial condition to clear away Satan's accusation in order to secure the complete foundational point for the victory on heaven’s side. For three generations there were children who died away from home, their whereabouts unknown. Notably, out of True Father’s 12 siblings, the five brothers and sisters for whom he cared the most died at very young ages. In this way heaven completely severed him from relationships that he could depend on, and from the people he most loved. This was so he would no longer be attached to worldly things. After his call as well, True Father had to live every day of his life without any relationships with people in whom he could find shelter, or to whom he would pay special attention. This is how he lived, wherever he was in the world.
 
1 The Unification Church is walking the path for the Will. In order to inherit this Will, all members must go through a course of indemnification. I began this course when I was 16 years old. By that time, five of my parents' 13 children had died and only eight remained alive. Not only did people die, but also much livestock—dogs, cows and horses. Evil spirits stirred themselves. You may not be familiar with such things. Truly, many strange phenomena occurred that were difficult to understand. They were undoubtedly the cunning schemes of the devil to destroy my family. However I am telling you they really happened.

Before I rise up triumphantly representing all nations of the world, I need to set up a condition that Satan cannot accuse. In the course of my battle against Satan, he attacked my family. That was the price we had to pay. Likewise, I also need to present a condition upon which I can stand proudly before history, by claiming the right of victory over Satan as the representative of all peoples and nations of the world. The same condition applies to Unification Church members; the same condition is required to found a unified nation. (214-215, 1991/02/02)
 
2 Spiritual phenomena do not happen only in the invisible world. They manifest in various forms and ways in the visible world as well. Satan plotted and mobilized every means to bring my family to ruin. One thing he did was drive my older brother and older sister insane, and this caused much havoc. When I was young I witnessed such spiritual phenomena and problems that arose from the spirit world acting behind the scenes. One day I saw that my older brother, whom I thought had gone mad, was talking. He seemed to be murmuring to himself, but when I listened to him carefully, I recognized that the substance of his words was formidable. Also, the way he spoke changed depending on the situation. Apparently, a number of spirits would come and talk with him all day long. I could see immediately that this was happening. (227-116, 1992/02/11)
 
3 All of my friends who were closest and dearest to me, the ones who most deserved heaven's blessing, were taken away. Anyone whom I could trust and count on was completely cut off from my life. Some of them were from North Pyeongan Province and some were from Hwanghae Province. They were my best friends, but they were all taken away. Then my younger sister, the closest in age to me and whom I adored the most, was taken away. My parents had many daughters, while my aunt's family did not have any. At the sincere request of my aunt, my sister was sent to my aunt's home and lived there. So I always prayed a lot for her. She absolutely obeyed me, her immediate older brother. I thought I would do anything to make her happy, but even that desire was cruelly crushed. Not only my little sister but also my beloved little brother were taken away. We can learn from this that there is no mercy in the course of indemnity. Still, I had to go through this course. (029-210, 1970/02/)
 
4 My closest friends were all taken by the spirit world. Come to think of it now, the reason the spirit world took all of them away was to prevent me from sharing my situation with them and developing personal relationships with them. Had I done so, it would have hindered my carrying out the Will of God. Thus, God took away all the people whom I cared about in the world. Knowing this very well, I could not take any other path. I am not doing what I am doing because I am a fool. Wouldn't I have thought about this over and over? (022-124, 1969/02/02)
