A very, long cold winter has passed

Good morning. It is nice to meet you. A very, long cold winter has passed, and now it is becoming a warm spring. You may think Chung Pyung is a cold place, but last year it was colder. This year Azalea flowers and cherry blossoms will soon bloom. My mind is excited. When I look at the buds I wonder what kind of flower is inside. It is the image of heaven. This is the mind that I have. From this morning, a lot of rain may come. I thought: I have to check the sewage area, cleaning for this area. When the rainy season comes, I contact all organizations. If the drain pipe is blocked, then they need to clean it. Why am I saying all of this to you?

We are making workshops very quickly, but it is not done quickly. The things that I do in advance, before True Parents, I do with a sense of a filial daughter. Things opened previously (Palace, Youth Center, etc.) I did quietly. Also, True Father's Seong Hwa ceremony, we did well, right? The preparation we needed to attend True Parents, unimaginable things -- all things were prepared in advance, and prepared carefully. When you looked at True Father's picture, you may have thought it was a photo, but actually it was painted, from some time ago. Some people told me: "You are crazy because True Father will live to 107, etc." But, I did everything in advance. Because if True Father goes to Spirit World early, then there is no time to prepare. The picture here (on the stage) with a beautiful purple color, was prepared beforehand. Also, the clothes True Parents wear symbolize the 10 Symbols of Longevity [a popular scene from Taoism often seen on folding screens]. The clouds symbolize the holy members.

When True Father left to Spirit World, he said all was accomplished. He said: members need to attend. After Foundation Day, since True Parents finished everything, we have to attend, with the meaning of bringing things to completion. So, purple threads and other flowers, all the clothes True Mother prepared were chosen, and made by hand with sincerity. Now, even though the internet industry is "first," it cannot be faster than. We have the director of the internet industry here, but Spirit World knew in advance, and prepared. Everything is a result of something done in advance. Also, going to Sunday service, all is fixed and prepared beforehand. For you to go to Sunday service, in advance, prepare. But do you prepare in advance? Donation, clean clothes, etc. We go to church to meet Heavenly Parents, so is it enough to just go in a nice suit? A few days ago I visited the church, and some members were attending church in a jumper, etc. I repented since I did not educate them well. I always sit in the back because I have to leave quickly. But I check. Some people I see: their hair is not neat, their face is not washed, etc. To look beautiful before Heavenly Parents, we have to prepare.

Rev. Choi told you that Dae Mo Nim stayed up all night and has now come to see you. But, do I look as if I stayed up all night? I am meeting members and must look bright. When True Parents may come to visit our family, we don't know. When Dae Mo Nim/Heung Jin Nim comes to our family we don't know. I visit to see if members attend the House for Absolute Good Spirits well. Some don't clean it or attend it well. I brought a list of people who bought it, but I find that some people don't attend it well. We don't know when Dae Mo Nim/Heung Jin Nim may come to visit our family (spiritually) so we need to clean well. We have to clean every day. To meet Heavenly Parents, Dae Mo Nim/Heung Jin Nim we have to clean and keep a beautiful environment. Then, eventually, our mind, our mental attitude, and our behavior will eventually become beautiful.

For example, one couple, if the husband comes home from work and the dishes are not clean, etc. The wife, after a meal, puts the dishes in the sink, and the husband washes them. I told her: absolutely don't do that. Because the wife thought that was the husband's job. But this is not the husband's job. He is working at this and that during the day. When the husband comes home, the wife can do a massage to relieve the fatigue. If I say "why do you make your husband do the dishes? I will hurt the wife's heart, so I don't say that.

We don't know when we will go to Spirit World, but we may go due to sickness, but even if we may go suddenly, but we may go without arranging things tidy. We are concerned about many things. At the time of Seonghwa we have to prepare very well. We worry about the last will and testament we will leave for our descendants. But, we don't know when we may go to Spirit World. But, the most fearful thing is not concerning a last will and testament, but it concerns your life habit. Therefore, we absolutely need a lifestyle of Absolute Faith Love and Obedience. Let your descendants have a life of Absolute Faith Love and Obedience. If you live together, and they don't listen to parents, and don't go to church, and do not live well, then can a last will and testament change a child? Can it change them? It cannot change them so quickly. Someday we will go to Spirit World.

People who come for counseling, some of them even have cancer in their 20s and 30s. They tell me: "I may go to Spirit World soon." So, we need to arrange things and put things in order in our family. When they see things we used when we were alive, the children can say: "my parents lived so beautifully!" We need to make the environment (our environment) beautiful. I visited one family, and even in the entrance way, I could not enter easily because of the shoes. In the living room I could not even sit down, because things were not arranged in good order. I told them: "you have to educate your children to put things in order." Last week, I visited the Cheongshim church. I told them to educate the children to put their shoes well, etc. When it is raining, they come to the door, and do they get education? Children should not be at the podium because you cannot educate them well about their shoes. And you must look at their hands and maybe take them to the restroom and wash their hands. I educate the Cheongshim church members. If you wait until the time comes to do things, and not in advance, then you will always be late. If you go at 11 am, Dae Mo Nim comes at 9:30, and we have to do things in advance.

If you go to Spirit World, while on earth we have to place things well, and be prepared. Show descendants a good example. You need to have such an attitude in a life of faith. Also, regarding Husband and Wife, etc. There should be no "blocks" between you, and there should be no resentment towards each other. Evil Spirits in us have rage toward the other. If we have hard feelings towards others, then in Spirit World this can be conveyed to them in Spirit World. In our mind, we should not have any bad feelings, but only have love, and go to tribe members and family members, with no bad feelings to each other. In Japanese culture, they don't like the husband's family and don't like the words of the Husband's family members. But, if you don't educate descendants, you won't have a good tribe.

I received a letter: "even though you said go to church, I don't go to church, because I don't like the church leader." If you don't like the person, you are the one to receive damage, you are the one who won't receive blessing. If you have this kind of mind, it can develop into excessive desire, because of unfair mind and lack of love. Even though Lucifer knew the purpose of creation, he could fall with Eve, so this unfair feeling is very dangerous. If you have an unfair feeling, that can become excessive desire, and then lack of love, and you can become a negative person. You need to solve your bad feelings. You need to think: "I lack many points" so must...with one heart, mind, body, mindset.

As I developed works, I looked at the members. Those with 30 years in the church, who came to the first 40-day workshop, I looked at their grudge and their appointment. They had a grudge about being appointed a National Messiah, etc. and not some church position. In Spirit World, the longest line (?) belonged to the people making those appointments. Let your heart go and your mind be relieved during this time. But their feeling was so strong that they could not even talk with each other. Every relationship. The daughter of one family came to my home. The (parents) didn't want 2nd gen blessing, but the children liked each other, so they were blessed and the family could live well together. So, the little bad feeling in me can become resentful, and later in Spirit World, it can become a problem. So, if you have any bad feelings about church leaders, you have to let it go. Solve all the bad mind between people; let it go. If you have such bad feelings to a family member, you can let them lean on you if there is a problem. I hope you can all stand up well. For the citizens of Cheon Il Guk, as we are, we can move heavenly fortune. Such a family, such an individual life you need to have. Such an environment of love you need to make. I hope you understand all of this. I did like this before, so in Cheon Il Guk, at the Azalea Festival time, I would like to solve all resentment.

If you have resentment, caused by part of your mind, but also in part by spiritual things, I want to engraft heavenly fortune to you at the Azalea Festival time. Even the spiritual realm of ancestors becomes Absolute Good Spirits and the lineage of God. Recently such a world has come. You may buy some item, but you cannot see the Evil Spirits inside. Before you go inside, we need to use holy salt. Not many people use holy salt these days. In earlier days we used it a lot. Now, we just wish, "oh, go away!" Do you think that could sanctify things? In some cases, the holy salt even became hardened due to non-use. Some people's homes do not even have holy salt! Now, we do ancestor liberation ceremonies, but you should still use holy salt. Holy salt can help take out Evil Spirits in items we buy. Those Evil Spirits can go in your body.

Absolute Good Spirits ancestors go in and take the Evil Spirits out. But it can go back in again. After last year's Azalea Festival, people who attended, and those who did ALC, problems were solved, but if you did not attend, Absolute Good Spirits in the Spirit World, our ancestors Absolute Good Spirits, did even more than on earth. They dominate weaker spirits, etc. Though their spirit selves became Absolute Good Spirits, the bad things they did on earth are still in their memory. If you wear the same clothes you wore yesterday, it is like that with the Absolute Good Spirits in Spirit World. Bad memories are still with them. Therefore, at the Azalea Festival, do wish papers, and the fire, if seen spiritually, is a spiritual fire to memories. It is not fire, but spiritual light.

After last year's Azalea Festival, their bad memories will be totally erased. If bad memories are erased, good. During the Azalea Festival, if you did ancestor blessing, you need to come for the Azalea Festival. If you didn't come last year, you must come this year to erase bad memories. When a spirit lived on earth, spirits in the Spirit World can see the bad things. If you sort them out, the spirits cannot see the records of our Absolute Good Spirits ancestors. Absolute Good Spirits can tell Evil Spirits in us with a nice conversation: "don't you want to live in heaven? The Evil Spirits will say, let's see what life you had on earth! If the Absolute Good Spirits had a bad life, then the Evil Spirits can give accusation. Absolute Good Spirits can do well for us, if the Evil Spirits cannot accuse or see their bad part. Don't forget what I am saying! You often forget what I say after the next chanyang session! I told you: do things in advance, let your bad feelings go, and solve them, and straighten things out for your ancestors by coming to the Azalea Festival. True Parents are working very hard. True Father is meeting leaders in the Spirit World, and True Mother is meeting people here on earth. True Parents want you to do Witnessing Activity, and become precious members. I will close here. Thank you.

God bless, itn,
