Notes on Rev Ahn's 40 Day Workshop

--> In order for someone to get on the airplane, they absolutely need a passport and airplane ticket.

; A passport is issued by the government. A person can gain a passport through the fulfillment of certain conditions: (they must make an application and pay the appropriate fee). The airplane is not issued by the government, but can only be gained through the payment of money which is each person's responsibility.

--> This passport can issued by the True Parents for the first time in human history.

; Jesus, Buddha, Confucius and Muhammad can enter the kingdom of heaven by receiving the True Parents Blessing.

--> For the first time in history, True Parents made the model course to establish the foundation of faith through separating from satan, and the foundation of substance through subjugating satan.

; All mankind must establish their own foundation of faith and substance, by following True Parents' model course.

Explanation

1) The sweet persimmon seed is planted in the ground. The, the sprout which appears is not the sweet persimmon, but rather the bitter persimmon which grows to bear bitter persimmon fruit. This is a natural phenomena.

2) Therefore, the bitter persimmon's trunk or branch must be cut off, and at the place where the trunk or branch is cut off, the sweet persimmon's bud or branch must be engrafted.

--> Then, the bud or branch of the sweet persimmon tree which is engrafted onto the bitter persimmon tree comes to grow and bear sweet persimmon fruit.

1) The Tree of Life represents True Parents. The Tree of Sin represents fallen mankind.

2) The trunk or branch of the Tree of Sin must be cut off by "I myself" cutting off the trunk or branch of "my" Tree of Sin.

--> The cutting of the trunk or branch of my Tree of Sin means establishing the foundation of faith through separating from satan.

3) The Tree of Sin should receive the bud or branch of the Tree of Life.

--> And this bud or branch should be engrafted at the severed place of the Tree of Sin.

; Receiving the bud or branch of the Tree of Life means receiving the Blessing from the True Parents.

; Being engrafted means establishing the foundation of substance through subjugating satan.

1) The Holy Wine ceremony. (Mat 25:1-13) ; (Rev 21:9)

2) The Blessing ceremony.

3) The 3-day ceremony.

Explanation:

(1) Eliminating original sin means changing from satan's lineage to God's lineage.

(2) Changing from satan's lineage to God's lineage means receiving the bud and engrafting the bud.

(3) Receiving the bud means receiving the flesh and blood of True Parents.

--> The ceremony of receiving the bud which is the flesh and blood of the True Parents means the Holy Wine ceremony and the Blessing ceremony.

(4) The ceremony of engrafting the bud is realized through the 3-day ceremony.

--> Mother and son cooperation. (Gen 27:43) ; (Exo 2:2-8) ; (Mat 2-13***)

; Mother means the messiah's wife who represents all women. Son means all men who represent the archangel.

; After the completion of the 3-day ceremony, the husband and wife positions are restored.

(1) Until today, the salvation offered by all major religions has been realized through individual salvation.

1) The salvation offered by Judaism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Islam enables the individual to achieve salvation of the formation stage level.

2) The salvation offered by Christianity enables the individual to achieve salvation of the growth stage level.

1) In order for mankind to become the children of God, mankind should resemble God's 2 kinds of dual characteristics.

--> God's essential characteristics consist of design and form (internal character and external form).

; God's attributes consist of positivity and negativity.

2) Mankind can resemble God's essential characteristics (God's personality) by establishing the foundation of faith and substance through separating from satan and subjugating satan.

--> Resembling God's personality means resembling the True Parents, who are the perfected messiah's personality. (Jno 14:9)

; The Blessed couple that resemble God's (True Parents') personality becomes God's Blessed couple.

; The Blessed couple that do not resemble God's (True Parents') personality becomes satan's "blessed couple."

1) Without True Parents' axis, my Blessed family would be destroyed through daily life.

; Without True Parents' axis, my Blessed family becomes satan's family. 2) What is True Parents' axis in daily life? These contents are explained through notice a) b) and c). (later)

--> Through receiving the True Parents' Blessing, the Blessed couple becomes the eternal ancestor for their Blessed descendants and their original fallen ancestors.

Spiritual children

(1) Abraham and Jesus. (Jno 8:57,58)

--> Abraham, who is the fallen ancestor became the descendant of Jesus, who is Abraham's blood lineage descendant.

--> The greatest revolution in human history.

; Heaven and earth is destroyed and a new heaven and new earth is established.

Notice The levels or kinds of last days:

(1) Individual last days

--> The individual last days is the time when someone joins the Unification Church through receiving Divine Principle and True Parents, which removes him from the realm of satan's dominion to the realm of God's dominion.

(2) Family last days

1) The family last days is the time (Blessing day) when the Unification members receive the Blessing from True Parents.

; Through receiving the Blessing (the 3 stages of the salvation ceremony), the Blessed couple receives the passport to the kingdom of heaven which is issued by the True Parents.

2) Through receiving the Holy Wine ceremony which includes True Parents' flesh and blood, the Blessed couple can eliminate original sin.

; They can change from the blood lineage of satan to the blood lineage of God.

; They can receive the bud from the Tree of Life.

3) The bud from the Tree of Life can be engrafted at the place where the trunk or branch of the Tree of Sin was severed by the accomplishment of the 3-day ceremony.

--> Then, this bud can sprout to become a shoot and can grow to reach perfection. Finally, this tree can bear the fruit of the Tree of Life, not the fruit of the Tree of Sin. This is done by establishing the foundation of substance which is subjugating satan.

; The trunk or branch of the Tree of Sin must be (cut off) severed by "I, myself" establishing the foundation of faith.

4) The Blessed couple should gain 3 kinds of children: Spiritual children (3 spiritual children). Blessed children. Ancestor children.

--> Without having spiritual children, the Blessed couple cannot have Blessed children or ancestor children.

; Without having spiritual children, the Blessed child cannot become the fruit of the Tree of Life.

--> Society last days is the time when the Unification Church society becomes the younger brother to the national sovereignty which is the elder brother in order to restore the elder brother's birthright.

--> There are many organizations through which to accomplish this:

--> Unification Church ; Inter-religion ; Inter-denominational (ministers) ; professors and students (ICUS, PWPA, CARP) ; media ; cultural ; business ; others.

--> The national last days is the time when the Unification society gains the national level sovereignty through the voting method (the restoration of the elder brother's birthright on the national level).

(e) What is the ideal spouse in the Blessed family?

(1) Father's famous declaration through his speech at Belvedere: "I was born in order to serve Mother." Father's life is in exact accordance with the word that he speaks.

1) Father's mission as the returning messiah must be to realize God's purpose of creation by becoming the True Parents and the king of kings through restoring all of mankind from the realm of satan's dominion to the realm of God's dominion.

--> Even though Father is the wonderful, famous messiah and the king of kings, Father declared, "I was born in order to serve Mother."

2) Father truly wants to teach mankind what true love is through this declaration.

--> True Love is realized through loving others, not "myself," and by loving the enemy. (Rom 13:9) ; (Gal 5:14) (Jas 2:8) ; (Luk 10:27)

3) The husband was born in order to serve his wife and the wife is born in order to serve her husband.

; Those who commit sexual fornication or adultery with another person will go to hell.

Notice

--> In the Blessed family: (a scenario of what happens to husbands and wives)

(1) At the beginning of the Blessed couple's life, the bride and groom are like lambs to each other.

(2) At the time when one or to two babies are born, the wife changes from a lamb and becomes like a cat, (the husband becomes like a grumpy bear).

(3) After 20 years together the wife changes from a cat and becomes a tiger, (the husband becomes an angry bear).

; The wife should remain like a lamb throughout her whole life. Her husband should also remain like a lamb throughout his whole life.

(2) How should I serve and treat my spouse?

--> I should serve and treat my spouse centering on the human personality which is a respectful attitude.

1) Those who only consider their spouse by physical or external appearance will fail in their Blessed life.

--> This person is only concerned with using his spouse's sexual tools. This is not true love.

--> Those who consider their spouse according to their spouse's mind and personality will succeed in their Blessed life.

; This person is not concerned with using his spouse's sexual tools. This is true love.

2) I should love my spouse because of the love I have for my children.

--> It is a natural phenomena for anyone to love their children. When there are times of difficulty between husband and wife (dislike, hate or resentment), I should consider and think of my spouse as the father or mother of my beloved child.

3) Because the Blessed couple received the Blessing from True Parents, this couple should consider and think of each other as the real son or daughter of True Parents.

--> Through these methods, I can keep my Blessed couple eternally.

(3) Two kinds of contradictory thoughts and attitudes about one's spouse.

1) Satanic thought and attitude centered on selfish thought and desire.

--> I am always thinking that I am a 100% nice person. I do not consider, criticize or reflect on myself in a negative way.

; The satanic attitude is revealed in a person who thinks that his small problem is more important than anyone else's suffering.

--> Those who think that they are always a 100% nice person, think that their spouse is only a 50% nice person.

; This person automatically has complaint and dissatisfaction about his spouse and always looks for another nicer person to relate to (and commit the sin of adultery with).

--> This person does not appreciate the Blessing and cannot appreciate the True Parents, and finally turns against True Parents and God.

2) Godly thought and attitude centered on living for others.

--> I am all the time thinking that I am only a 50% nice person. This person considers and reflects upon their weak points, short-comings and sinful actions which they have committed in their life.

--> This person confesses and repents, and wants to pay indemnity to restore the 4 kinds of sin committed by his ancestors and himself.

3) Those who reflect on their weak points and short comings consider and think that their spouse is much better than themselves.

--> This person never has complaint or dissatisfaction and eternally appreciates True Parents and God. This person makes and eternally keeps a happy Blessed family.

Notice a

First I absolutely will serve and attend God and True Parents centering on the Divine Principle.

--> True Parents are the eternal axis of my Blessed family. This I Pledge.

Second I will eternally keep my True Parents Blessed family. --> I will absolutely never commit the sin of adultery. This I Pledge

Third I will absolutely maintain my public mission life centering on True Parents' providence. --> I will love and give all things to my enemy. This I Pledge

Fourth I will pass on this tradition to my descendants. --> I will save my good and evil ancestors and descendants. This I Pledge

Notice (b) What is the True Parents' axis in my daily life?

First:

(1) Morning and night, I will bow down to True Parents with my spouse and children. I will offer prayers of repentance and appreciation, shedding tears.

(2) I will decide in my mind to love True Parents more than my spouse or children.

(3) I will destroy self-centered evil thought and desire.

(4) I will study the Divine Principle truth, which is God's view of life, everyday.

Second: (1) I will destroy my evil sexual desire everyday and willingly pay indemnity for my sexual sins (and all other sins) in my daily life. (2) I will keep the 5 commandments about evil sexual desire. Do not eat, Do not look, Do not touch, Do not think, Do not even dream. (3) I will willingly confess my sexual sins, my sins of murder, my sins of robbery and my sins of rebellion.

Third:

(1) I will willingly attend and keep my public mission and witness through loving my enemies.

; Keeping the public mission means that I am within Noah's ark. (Within the realm of God's providence).

(2) I will willingly obey, love and serve Abel's direction through loving my enemy and without complaint or resentment.

(3) I will willingly follow the model course for Abel, established by Jacob, Joseph, Jesus and Father's course.

Fourth:

(1) As a full-time member:

--> I will offer all things to God through full-time fundraising. (MFT, Church Center, CARP)

; Good periods to offer time for fundraising: (Mother's day, Christmas season, Easter day, Valentine's day, Thanksgiving day).

; The full-time fundraising member offers 7/10 of his result to God. (3/10 of his result is used to support his personal needs).

(2) As a department, office, business member:

--> I will offer 50% of my wages to God and use 50% of my wages to support my family. (Some departments offer family stipends rather than salaries).

--> As a Blessed member who works outside the church, I will attend Sunday service and offer 30% (10% minimum) of my wages to the church.

(3) If I do not offer at least 10% - 30% of my wages to God, then I commit the sin of robbery.

--> If I live outside the church center and do not attend Sunday service, then I commit the sin of rebellion.

; For couples who live outside the church center, at least one spouse should dedicate himself to the public mission.

(4) I will not commit the sin of robbery, cheating or embezzling public money as a member, bookkeeper or leader. I will not make false receipts or make false balance sheets.

--> Public funds are truly God's money.

; The misuse of public money is more evil than the open (honest) crime of robbery on the street with a gun.

Notice (d) Satan's method:

--> No one can see in the midst of a dense fog. Visibility in any direction is very limited and it is impossible to see anything distant.

; Fallen mankind exists surrounded by satan's spiritual fog. Through the spiritual fog, mankind cannot see the truth or the existence of God.

; The forms of satan's fog are as follows:

(1) I will not smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol or use any kinds of drugs.

(2) I will not engage in any kind of gambling.

(3) I will not accept and expose myself to any kind of negative and evil media (television programs, movies, magazines and music).

(4) I will not commit any acts of masturbation, homosexuality or fornication with another man or woman. I will not expose myself to any kind of pornography (movies, magazines, etc.). through evil ancestors satanic guidance.

(5) Within the Blessed couple's relationship: I will not --> Commit acts of oral or anal sex. Practice animal style of sex. Use any kinds of artificial stimulation. Use any kind of contraceptives.

--> Engage in lovemaking with the attitude of self- gratification, but only with the attitude of creating a heavenly Blessed child.

(6) Two kinds of rules for spouses to follow in their relationship of husband and wife:

1) God's law of love.

--> Blessed couples should follow God's law of love, which means "not to eat."

--> "Not to eat" means that the Blessed couple only loves each other and does not love another man or woman.

2) Natural law.

--> Without following natural law, the biological person cannot live or exist.

; Within the Blessed couple, one spouse is usually physically weaker than the other. Therefore, through excessive sexual activity, the weaker spouse loses life energy, which decreases the strength of the physical body's immune system. The result for the weaker spouse is sickness and a shortening of the life span.

--> Blessed couples should ask, "Should I use my own holy temple, holy body, which is God's temple to do God's providence or to waste in excessive sexual activity?"
