This is the second of two excerpts from the sermon given at Belvedere on October 8, 1995.

How many kinds of hell do we have? We have three kinds. What kind of area is the first, like basement type? Only the very selfish people go there, sinners, the ones who steal, and lived a shameful life. It is a very dark atmosphere there, and very moist, wet. It is tight and uncomfortable. What kind of face? Very ugly, without one eye, deformed, etc. Today we see all these types of movies with ugly people, that kind of inspiration comes from the very low realm of hell, it really exists!

Who goes to the second level of hell? Those who have killed; they have killed the image of God, the children of God. The meaning is like killing God, Jesus, that is completely against God. Sometimes we killed someone's character, not just killing physically. This realm is even darker, and with more pressure. They feel completely bound, cannot move and is filled with regret and repentance, but it is too late. It is like a constant sound of wind, like an echo of constant regret.

Who goes to the third level of hell? Those who have killed many people in the war, like Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler who were dictators on earth. The atmosphere there is like a dark lake of oil, they go in and out the lake so their faces are completely dark. If people really understood the existence of the spiritual world, they would change because they would realize that their eternal life is more important. So, we Unificationists teach the importance and the reality of spiritual world. Even Christian ministers do not believe about heaven and hell, they do not believe the existence of Satan.

The bible teaches about the kingdom of hell, in Matthew, Mark, Acts, John's revelation, Jesus himself taught that the kingdom of hell exists like a world of fire, world of burning, world of darkness, it was the bottomless pit, etc. We have to understand that the kingdom of hell exists. Can you believe it?

There is a fifth level of spiritual world where very righteous people go, from the Old Testament and the New Testament. Even if you arrive there, we call it, the formation level of spiritual world. This realm is more bright than the waiting room; they are wearing white robes and are shining. You feel completely drunk by the beauty of nature that you feel like flying and eventually do learn to fly. Physical people invented airplanes, the space shuttles, they want to reach the galaxies etc.; physical people have that imagination because it is possible in the spiritual world. God gave us that capacity. If you close your eyes, in one second you can fly and go anywhere, you can do that if you go to this level. Other levels you can fly faster. This level, the first is just a plane, second level is a jet plane, the third level is like a rocket.

If you arrive at the first level, formation, physical language it is not necessary , it is the language of heart, mind language; as soon as you see your beloved ones, you already know what they want to say. There is a very high quality banquet, better than those at the White House. Furthermore, when you see your husband or wife, they are more beautiful than before. Who is the most beautiful woman on earth? Mother, so your wife will seem more beautiful than Mother. Who is the most handsome man on earth? Father, so your husband would seem more handsome than Father. Father said all these things. Some of you sisters who like diamonds, pearls, all the things you like will be there. It is very wonderful!

Many of you will say, Oh! Rev. Pak, I would like to go there it sounds wonderful, but it is not that way. We need to go up to a higher realm, so we have to study because our understanding of Principle was very low, perhaps we didn't even read it for one year. We did not read Father's words, etc.. so we need education and training in order to go to another level. Also they are very busy; they don't just stay in that realm, they have to come down to earth to help good people. This is hard work, they have no time to enjoy this world.

The next level is the growth level of the spiritual world, it is called Paradise; this Paradise was seen by Paul 2,000 and he said that it had three levels. This is very reasonable because, who are the people who go to Paradise? Jesus, the right hand thief, his disciples, and many other faithful people, they are in different levels. So the first level of Paradise are the faithful Christians like St. Paul, St. Peter, other faithful religious people like Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther king Jr.; also there are very righteous people who dedicated their lives to the world and other famous scientists like Thomas Edison who invented the light, etc. They dedicated themselves to better human life.

In the second level of Paradise are the founders of good religions like Confucius, Mohammed, Buddha, etc.; they prepared people to receive the Messiah.

The top level of Paradise is Jesus Christ. These levels are so beautiful that you become intoxicated with love and beauty. Why Jesus could not enter the Kingdom of heaven? Because he could not establish a family during his life on earth.

What is the Kingdom of heaven? If we read our family pledge #5 is the unification between the spiritual world and the physical world. That means the Kingdom of heaven is waiting for us. It means that we accomplish the four realms of heart centered on true love on the earth and then when we die we will automatically go to the kingdom of heaven in the spiritual world. We have to perfect our character, and most important of all, we need to receive God's lineage. True Parents, True Family and blessed couples. When you are blessed you receive a glass of wine and that signifies the change of blood lineage from Satan to God's lineage. One of our brothers, Mike McDevitt, had a dream of the kingdom of heaven and he shared with me on the plane. He arrived to the spiritual world and said it was peaceful, but had a very joyful atmosphere. There is no space limitations, so we can have the biggest house we want, the biggest and the best car we want, etc. Everything you can imagine is available in the kingdom of heaven.

We have a palace for God in the kingdom of heaven. The bible says that we have 12 golden, pearl and diamond gates to the kingdom of heaven. Through these gates we can greet True Parents every day. God and True Parents live there together. Only Heung Jin Nim, great grand mother, Father's Mother, Choong Mo Nim, President Eu, Tiger Park, only Father's early and dispensational disciples are there, not even at the center, but in a waiting house. Mike McDevitt saw Heung Jin Nim's waiting house and an Angel showed him another house where True Parents will live, but not the inside. Even Heung Jin Nim's waiting area is too good, but still he comes down to the realm where he can help earthly people. Also great grandmother is there in the kingdom of heaven waiting place, still, she does not stay there because she came down to Korea, Seoul, Chung-pyung lake training center to help many people. Some of them are sick because of ancestors' problems; she is using one sister as a channel to heal people, she asked them to pray and then to go to the next door water well to drink it. Many of those people got healed so now there is a long line to meet Grand mother in that well.

People like St. Paul, St. Peter, even Heung Jin Nim, Jesus, Confucius, Buddha, etc.; their spiritual world is so busy that they cannot enjoy being there because as long as True Parents are on earth, God's goal and time table is to build the kingdom of heaven on earth first. From this year after the success of the 360,000 couples Father opened the doors of this realm of hell, the lowest realm so that they can resurrect. The entire spiritual world became one, it is like opening the shades in one room. The ones who can do that are tribal messiahs. So, what is tribal messiah? It is the tribal level of True Parents. Because Father created millions of tribal messiahs and are working hard on the worldwide level on the earth, those people who had been struggling in hell, we can save, they can be resurrected. We have that kind of authority because we are in the Complete Testament Era.

So, we have nine levels of spiritual world now. If you read Dante's Divine Comedy he said that there are nine spiritual levels. Furthermore, Buddhists believe that there are nine levels of spiritual world. Many religious founders became spiritually open and saw nine levels. Without True Parents, it we died, we would have stayed thousands of years in different realms of spiritual world, it would had been almost impossible to resurrect right away, but because of True Parents spiritual world became one.

Do you understand spiritual world now? When Father speaks about spiritual world you can add more things to this diagram and notes. In the kingdom of heaven people will wear golden robes and will have a halo. In the Buddhist and Catholic paintings we see that kind of thing, because someone saw the spiritual world.

My conclusion is that the spiritual world does exist!

Our final destiny in life is to arrive to the spiritual world!

Spiritual world is divided into of nine levels, but because of God and True Parents' victory on the earth, they will soon become one.

In order to accomplish this, we need the physical world which is still divided into many different denominations and beliefs. That's why during the 360,000 Blessing, Dr. Hendricks said to people, Oh! you are Buddhist, please come to the blessing. You are Methodist, but please come to the blessing. You are atheist, but still come to the blessing. It is because the highway is open for all kinds of people to come. It is a time of grace. Some people say, Oh!, I had to go formula course, pay so much indemnity, etc. However, someone who just went to two days workshop, or seven day and accepted True Parents they received the blessing. Why? Was it because the quality of the blessing became low? NO, It is because this is the time of grace, because of the power of victory of True Parents that these people received the blessing. They opened a highway to the kingdom of heaven. That is why we need to witness to our relatives, even send them videotapes, audio tapes, True Family and I speech, Unification News, etc. We have to be tribal messiah's to them, they will follow us to the kingdom of heaven.

The Christians in the spiritual world are very slow. Hinduism and Buddhism are ready for the blessing. There are 100 million members of Hinduism and many of them want to come to the blessing. Last time Father spoke in Anchorage and 400 guests came. There are only 10 members there, but still many people came. India and Africa are increasing rapidly, they are pushing their descendants. In 1998, Father said he will do a blessing of 3.6 million couples, but he also said that he will do it in August of 1996. So, you Americans, be prepared. We need to work continuously to prepare the heavenly banquet. Jesus said that he prepared a heavenly banquet, but the ones who are supposed to come are not coming, so we have to go and find anyone who wants to come. Many other religious people, good people are willing to receive the blessing.

Conclusion: Last October. Father said that someday he will arrive to the kingdom of heaven palace. Father is getting older, True Parents will not stay on earth forever. Do you think God is waiting in His golden seat for Father to come? No, God will go out without shoes to meet Father, crying and crying. Oh!, my dear son, welcome, welcome, how much you did hard work for the sake of the kingdom, for my sake, for the sake of history and mankind, how much you couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, how much loneliness you went through. That's the way God will do, even for us. God will say, my poor son, my poor daughter, you stay there. Which is better? Welcome, welcome my son. Saint Paul said 2,000 years ago, after his persecution and difficult life he became a martyr. He said it is not the earth, it is the crown of eternal life, I am working for day and night. We can become tribal messiahs and reach all these things on earth and automatically we will enter the kingdom of heaven. That is my conclusion. Amen!

We have the honor to unite the spiritual world and the physical world. We have to understand how honorable it is for us to be living here in New York to hear these things directly from Father and to work side by side with him. I hope we all understand now the existence of the spiritual world and do our best. Thank you very much!
