Mrs. Byung Wooh Kim - Philippine Leader's Meeting (4/1/98)

National Leaders' Meeting
Manila, Philippines
April 01, 1998

This time is fruitful for your coming here. Actually, I always worry about your financial situations that’s why in the past, even though I wanted have many times leaders meeting with all of you, I didn’t call you, I couldn’t call you. Because it’s road situation, road situation unlike peninsula or continental countries, this is one also one of difficulties for me to guide you often. As today you discussed many hours for the practical matter with the VP, I think I better not to talk about this practical matter. Just something I want to share with you, what I recognized something through my experiences, this is very sisterly, sisterly or motherly advice for you, I strongly feel time to time something we must change we have to recognize is how to become public people or always wishes to do something more public. Our original mind always pushes us to do that but the reality always we are struggling with something our own some small or some situations like those who have families or children unlike before when you are single and as full times you did really whatever you want to do, you could try your best, but if you have children and started family always time to time you struggle, even if not started but you always think about the future of your family and this always if you are as long as you are human being and we are in conflict between evil and goodness, we’ll always carry it. So with this reality, for me as Continental Director, who always have to visit many countries, there are always the National Messiahs as this is the era of National Messiahs who focus on their mission for the nation and I can see the conflicts between big and small couples how we adjust it. What is the reality we practice? Despite our Father has been teaching us years, years how to sacrifice for bigger purpose the reality we are facing, the moment when we face with this reality, not easy to practice it. Not easy to overcome the selfishness. This very clearly I can see everywhere now. Somehow I was thinking maybe this is also same time, the period for Heavenly Father to train me. With seeing this reality in conflict, how to overcome this selfishness also all of us will face this kind of conflict throughout our life, and how to overcome it? This is my point I want to clarify. How to overcome it? If we strongly recognize this one, will be easier to overcome that, when the reality come to each of you which is difficult to overcome and easy bring you to manage your life more selfish way even if you can see because of your off sense, even public matter will be damaged, would be damaged, still you don’t just care and you just close and then your eyes become bigger to see your small individual reality. And then the guilty, the judgement with guilty way up here, if it repeat two times, second time, third time, fourth time, become insensitive even feeling from conscience it become insensitive, and then the insensitivity change people even standard of conscience finally become confusion and messy, again we will go back to where we came from as one who have fallen nature with long history of fallen habit. So Father warning us time to time to be careful not to be caught with this old habit again all throughout our daily life. How to overcome this? You don’t have to think that leader like me will not have any struggling, the difficulties, this situation is generally all of our problems as long as we have fallen nature still we carry that old habits from Satan’s blood lineage. Our hometown, we came from there, always struggle time to time, but it depends on how much we practice to remove this one. In some degree can be different but generally all the same. And many of good leaders when I look at in Korea, the Church leaders, one by one they had to become just the one who live for family. I don’t think it is because just the reality problem. If we change our life pattern or habit concept, some certain spiritual power can be given by God to overcome the reality. And Father showed this example very clearly, how Father could overcome Satan from individual level. We know Father’s course how much Satan evil power try to bring the reality for Father cannot go beyond individual level. The extreme difficult moment will come, this the moment once we determine to die, even if I die I will not give up to manage my life for the original purpose. Have to sacrifice for others, bigger purpose more public. Maybe that is the moment God could can down to pass that obstacles and then again the second stage, again we have to pass, and this Father mentioned is eight stages. Some of Unification leaders, even individual level already they give up. Before entering family level, even within individual stage, we just give up. What public purpose had something to do with me even if I’m going to die. But let’s keep in our minds this is our destiny. The Principle is in our mind. We have to across this great river, we have to across this is our destiny we must cross. Whenever I see these National leaders, despite they come to know more bigger purpose which is Asia providence, nation existed for the bigger purpose is continent in our church organization. But if these nations always don’t think about bigger purpose, higher purpose, Asia providence, only think about their own nation, it is more difficult. This individually working, to reach whole goal is more difficult. They know this one, they know but still difficult to come out from that selfishness within their mission and then it made me think about what is nature of human being. How to overcome this selfishness? I think I can say when the moment, the last moment we have, with that the selfish concept, the selfish still an attitude. With that standard, can they remain? This kind of some . . like I will tell you one example for you to understand what I’m talking about. Rev. Kwak, I suggested some strategy how to start India providence where no membership even National, Korean National leader even gave up and went back home with saying to CD " I truly have no idea for India, please take care India". And then he got accident in Korea and six months he injured for six months he has to stay at home, his leg. Anyway, the circumstances pushed us, we got angry, upset, with the Korean National Messiah if there are members, they want to hold, if there are no members they give up and ask us to do it. Rev. Kim don’t want to fight anymore with that situation and then he gave up, but me difficult to give up. Maybe I studied about my nature, my attitude and their nature,

their attitude, I studied. Maybe this is the little fruit, result of thinking about this point. I’ve been thinking about this one , and try to find the way how I can come out from this selfish concept, how to overcome this one and then enter bigger, another dimension. Not from the individual, the circumstances even difficult to overcome individual level, but already overcame. And then family level then try to overcome and then that’s almost extreme situation difficult to come out from that concept of selfishness within the level and then tribal level, national level. Where I’m standing now? I’m thinking, I’m studying, Rev. Kim is so upset with those attitude and then he gave up for India, I’m still trying this one, one thing is good maybe because it is I tried not to be caught by this evil power for me not to really overcome and enter another level from the selfishness, it’s maybe the result of this effort still I’m challenging. From this kind of its bit encouragement for myself still to work like this. So I request my strategy how to start this India providence to Rev. Kwak and around India, there are several countries, because of political situations, the leaders, Japanese missionaries cannot enter. Let me organize, mobilize them for India, then Rev. fully support they are already on the CD’s controlling, it’s up to you, no, the reality is different, please send fax to all the countries its eight nations. Pakistan is Muslim country, they have nothing to do over there, very strong Muslim country, and most of National Messiah didn’t enter, and Japanese missionaries just hanging around two to three out of ten. Afghanistan now very strong civil war, they cannot enter for Japanese missionaries, National messiahs and Bhutan, Baldev. . . Brunei, all around eight countries, Bangladesh they don’t work and eight countries, so Rev. Kwak send this one. And I began to mobilize them, here and there, those Japanese missionaries who are still in Japan, I fly to Japan to meet them and organize some system there to look for them. And one by one coming out, and I encouraged them. Afghanistan Japanese missionaries very strong, I found strongest team in Asia, but they cannot enter, and stayed part of India. And Korean National Messiah there who is one of 1800 couple. He also doesn’t know how to take care Japanese missionaries, I will tell just one of those countries, Afghanistan case,

they stayed in India, they don’t know what to do, so I arranged this from WMD with Rev. Kwak’s order. this eight countries should work for India and then began to operate them. Them Afghanistan come and meet him, I strongly ( told ?)...... this missionaries, I need car, to work for India, you should provide one car for me, with Japanese missionaries to India, you will be responsible to solve this mobile, vehicle. Here in India very big countries and continent, without car we will waste a lot of time, I have not enough time to waste like that, so will you buy or not? If you don’t buy, I don’t start it, and they promised they will buy. And then the money come,

from Afghanistan, $ 10,000.00 suddenly come out, and then Korean National Messiah see it, and then greedy mind come out, desire. It’s in India $ 10,000.00 is very powerful very big money.

and then he want to take the money, he doesn’t want to give it to India, he doesn’t know how to use manpower but when the moment some money come out and then his mind busy here how to use the money for his mission Afghanistan where cannot enter even. And then I went to Japan to put some money for PR work. mobilization and so need some budget, I was busy here and there arranged like that. And also second time last time third time, this time fourth time I visit finally everything were set up and then they now start working including PR work, witnessing, mobilization now began to work everything set up. When I look at this each National Messiah many things come out to check myself and then it developed into look the reality within you, How nearly can give some lesson and strength to all of you not to be controlled that selfishness, not to sell your human character with selfishness. Because of $ 10,000.00 he forgot he has to keep some certain standard of human character. For me it doesn’t matter, $10,000.00 give or come, if car can work if no car we will be slow. For him very serious $10,000.00 even $ 100.00 for him not easy to make it so suddenly $ 10,000.00 came not of course suddenly, it took one month. He didn’t believe Japanese will make the money I told you are under mobilization. I give you less responsibility then Father who is going to mobilize you is minimum $ 12,000.00 for Japanese for this crisis.

So two countries together $ 20,000.00 to buy the car. This one country $ 10,000.00 so can share 10 meaning person just $ 1,000.00 have to do it If you don’t do that I will mobilize you to go back to Japan. Rather you support True Parents. So they hurry to make it and then $ 20, 000 .00 came out. Money is everywhere like magic, how to use magic the money to come out is the more public mind and if public mind linked with the providence which is very hurry something can be solved. Father has ( mind ? ) like that. Please, look this reality, something seriously, this is not other peoples story this my fallen nature has potential always to be like that. National Messiahs means already some certain spiritual foundation was made because they are seniors compared to all of you. And then at least they have to stand National level who overcome national level selfishness. And have to challenge to sacrifice for higher, bigger purpose which is continental based. But the reality don’t want to be absorbed by Continental providence. And then what’s that? Now I don’t want to really be pressed by that situation, I don’t want to get any stress, I just naturally accept this is our reality. There is a potential in . . . , but

I just have to try to be if possible higher dimension, if possible one step more higher even if I will be controlled by selfishness if possible not within individual level and that I wish can overcome already even at least I can offer my family for nation, its a national level. If we train ourselves like this, time to time check where I am, and then we can develop step by step into that level and then all of you even though the reality serious with your family in the future, many children, still I believe you will be there still you will attend God’s providence, still you will stand. Some of your seniors here in the Philippines already gone, right, already gone . . . Someone even before having a child already gone, Someone after having one child gone . . . Someone after two babies gone, someone until two babies still ( rise / survive ?), but before having third child . . . give up So which level you will stand and then in which stages you will give up and then with controlling with evil power like storm wave the selfish concept Well, can say because of reality but how to overcome the reality. Father showed us very clearly, we have to determine to die. That’s why this day I point to you the real essence, What is the essence of love. Love we cannot just practice in some period, love is sacrifice for the bigger purpose. This one we must reach the worldwide level. Absolutely reach, sacrifice for the world. When we stand there automatically we will link to Heavenly Father’s heart in that level. So, through daily life you always have to think I’m working for True Parent, actually not for TPs only, to restore myself, my original mind always wish. My religious background, I came from Buddhism, my mother gave me very big influence from Buddhism. My mother always taught me to sacrifice others ( for others ) even she said, in the future if the situation really pushes you to do some business because your husband some problem, If really have problem, financially you have problem then just you do food business like restaurant, even if you make money through that business you will make hungry people full. You will give food to make people full, for hungry, then you can go to paradise. Buddhism mentioned Paradise, it’s Heavenly Kingdom. That every detail my mother always taught me live for others. And I was . . . childhood Korea is miserable ,if everything was destroyed by the war after taken by Japanese all the properties again Korean war happened, very very poor.

One day my mother bought some gift, it’s for my friend on her birthday which I wish to have, but she didn’t buy it for me and then she bought it for her which I like and then she found maybe she really like it because same age her daughter likes. And then she just gave it to her, she didn't buy it for me. When I saw it I thought maybe my mother is not my real mother. She maybe took me from street, otherwise how she treats me this much? Whatever I like she buys something and then give for others. She doesn’t allow me to have it, If you like something you better give it to others. I was grown up like that ( raised up ). And then when I met the Principle for me not very difficult to practice, live for others, sacrifice for others, give something for others, give, give, exciting. I just prayed to Heavenly Father give me enough something to give for others. It’s not very difficult to practice, I was very grateful. After I met the Principle, for my mother trained me like that. So essence of love, is sacrifice. It should start from the family, within the family. Everyday Hoon Dok Hoi we read Father’s speech, this all essential points books, so many books hundreds of books to change our selfishness into sacrificing for others naturally. It’s not within the family, it’s the starting point we train. Within family easier because family each other love, To sacrifice

to sacrifice someone whom we love easier, than for the people outside who have nothing to do with me. It’s easier but the reality in the families even brother and sisters fighting each other, difficult to be trained so we call satanic family first family, What about here leaders who already have family maybe couple each other also always there is Cain and Abel. One is always Cain one is Abel. Some couples husband more Abel more Cains in other words Cain means more selfish Abel more public. Someone wife always Abel type and then husband always Cain. Sometime this Cain is going to kill Abel. Why you go this training course in the Center, you don’t have to think always I work for True Parents, I work for heavenly Father, for fundamentally its for my eternal life to go back to original place where I came from before the fall. My original self, Original sons and daughters of heavenly Father. Maybe not only because my mother I read many books I can’t count even maybe thousands of books I read I was always sick, all I can do is lie down and then read books. So many things I was thinking what is man? And the books gave me many influences also. And it helped me a lot to practice the Principle more easily.

Fundamentally, we have to really restore myself even to the worldwide level, when nation asked me to sacrifice, willingly want to sacrifice my family, the more, when the world calling my country to sacrifice and then within myself there are no Nationalism at all. I am Filipino, I am a Korean, why my country should sacrifice, it’s sacrifice means almost no existence, sacrifice mean I have to deny myself, deny my country for the world. It’s not easy because of fallen nature always years years habit here. And then in Nepal I nominate one member to be National leader there, He was trained by Father in Brazil Jardin farm for two years. Mostly he did some bait for True Father for fishing, ,it’s very difficult job. Whoever can graduate 40 days course to put the bait for Father’s fishing we can consider them to become strong leaders, not easy, we very afraid to be called we are not type. . . And this Nepalese brother he was called and then he did this course when Father came to know that he is Hindu, still it’s Brahman Hindu has cast system, Brahman therefore many they divide into four different classes of people. Brahman is the priest tribe, he came from this Brahman tribe most highest tribe. and then Father began to check him. Father said you must eat beef, Yes Father I will. In front of me. Father asked leader to bring beef and then he testified me in Nepal, inside he killed his soul. Very difficult to change and he said now even I can kill cow.

It’s not easy to overcome National level of selfishness, so Father wanted to change him, you eat beef, he never imagined Father would order it right in front of Father. Then we have to pass this ourselves, all of us. When the moment, in order to save the world, we have to betray our nation, like we have to kill cow. Not easy that’s why you have to go training course, different stages step by step, course by course finally have to reach this worldwide we are changing the concept. And then we can overcome when the program within the family. You see if we train practically Principle like that, if we practice practically substantially through daily life, sacrifice for others , why couple have complete . . . ? Principle is working so hard here but daily life we live separately and then continue to carry the old concept habit, within selfishness, let’s think it seriously, Those who are in conflict between couple, even couldn’t overcome that individual level of selfishness, in other words can say you have any objections? But most of you have carried that problem, what shall we do with this reality. So let’s think the essence of love which we have to really practice. If we really practice it, sacrifice for others, each other, why we fight, because of this conflict, despite the problem, campaign we are the group to establish ideal families, ideal society, ideal world. Saint Paul encouraged me always. Let’s be honest, it’s not your fault, my fault, all of your fault only, it’s our ancestors fault. We inherited this blood itself inside, very difficult, always fighting between original mind and evil mind, this selfish mind always pull us back and then our original mind always push you for what? to overcome next level stage. Sacrifice, essence of love is sacrifice. How to make the public mind to grow up for the bigger dimension, higher level, how to grow up? We have to be serious, seriously we have to arrange daily our life of faith. We have to practice, I should be ready to sacrifice for brothers, sisters, whatever if brothers or sisters need my help most of all just put something I have to do for myself and then help. This small level we have to practice and have to be natural and then we can go the next level and the again can practice. How to keep more public mind ? To sacrifice for bigger purpose, and then I can close something my inconvenience something damage for individual as long as I can manage as long as I can survive and then I have to still challenge for the bigger, through daily life we have to practice. We have to encourage one another to overcome selfishness. Even though our reality within couple within family tells a lie to us we don’t have to be controlled by that. The reality of my family, difficult for us to go forward to continue. If we try to grow up more public mind which our original purpose of life, why God gave us life will be easier to overcome and then even one stage more challenge to be there to reach there the bigger level. At least we have to spend nationwide with family together. When the moment we have family and children, we have to give up it mean before starting family our training course maybe not enough, we didn’t really try to grow up inside our public mind to overcome the family level. Just in illusion I walk for somebody else like I walk for True Parents, no it’s my fundamental life my eternal life to reach the original hometown where we have to be. So we’ll be serious before starting family. And then no matter how many children we have with the children together, we have to stand to sacrifice for nation. The nation is calling the family from emergency, but I don’t mind I don’t care I have to protect my family, not like that. We will turn even offer my children, put the children in the orphanage then I will be soldiers for nation. Something like that at least, so Father trained us and support us to stand at least that even family level. But mostly now this is time Father is calling the family for nation, Fatherland. What about reality all of them hundred percent they are mobilized? I don’t know what’s meaning anyway, actually I really love those leaders who really are doing well and then something doing for the whole purpose and providence. We met each other because of providence because of mission, I love those whoever doing the mission well very much, without mission we have no meaning we met each other. Father loved mission more than us. If we do well the mission, Father’s strong love will come to us. If we fail the mission, Father don’t even want to see us, because of God we met each other. So how to grow up, how to make the public mind grow up for the more bigger level to overcome the selfishness, this is today my main point, so within that level if you are single, individual level, try not to be dominated by the family level of selfishness

when you start the family. When you do have family try not to ( be ) dominate the nationwide selfishness . You have to step by step have to develop like that. The reality despite Father has been teaching us to overcome that remove individual selfishness remove that family level selfishness, remove nationwide national selfishness but the reality still very far. Within different nationalities if we are gathering together live together fight so hard. And I came from advance country already have some concept and then easily ignore . . . the one you’re going to dominate.

Something like that. Try your best to catch what my message mean. My message is, we don’t have to be killed by that evil selfishness, the selfishness , storm wave of selfishness, it makes sense ? The selfishness just like storm wave its going to attack us each time and its going to kill us not to enter next stage. I’m watching now Jimmy and Shirley, how long they will go? worry about child their education, and then members don’t allow to use public money for baby for family there is no clear standard on how to deal with this matter? That generation one by one disappear. And now it is challenging nationwide the family how long they can go I’m watching, you don’t have to be controlled by this selfishness, storm wave of selfishness which is national, you have to enter there, You have to determine you will not give up to enter next level. Something like that. Many kinds of crazy things appearing before us and then try to give up pushing . . . this is evil power, really evil power. So once again all of you how to, Just like a tree of public mind, in myself, how to take care it to grow up, to be bigger blooming and make fruit and finally stand . When we call Heavenly Father, sometime I feel I really can love myself, very seldom sometime when I call Heavenly Father, and Heavenly Father smile and embrace me, you know, where is Heavenly Father, I asked True Father directly last time in Uruguay, Father, I’m wondering Father, how the safe ( shape ) of Heavenly Father which is in your mind, I’m very curious to know whenever Father you pray and call Heavenly Father each tears, its . . What is the shape of Heavenly Father in your mind? Please forgive me if I’m wrong this kind of question. And Father began to explain about Sung sang Hyung sang that logically which already we have in the Principle book, similarly like that, Around twenty minutes, I told Father, I’m not the person who’s supposed to be intellectually, Father I don’t understand it, I understand here but I cannot feel still. I was desperate to know about this. How is Heavenly Fathers shape in your mind you call Heavenly Father, What do you think? Father answered again when I explain about my dream, I prayed about that, and then one day Father appeared in dream, in one meter behind, its face same as Father like twin but older than Father, Always with Father. Fathers moving can see but another Father just one meter distance never different moving like that (?) with a smile. It’s really grandfather wherever grandson doing is very (buried/varied) with loving eyes, totally just love, twi time I had same dream. When I pray, Heavenly Father, I’m really wondering I want to know how you look like . And hen the dream just two times appear after that no more throughout thirty years, no more appear. When I explain this to Father, Father said exactly like that, In my mind when I pray Heavenly Father, exactly like that Father said, What’s mean? Father call Heavenly Father means Father appear right? Do you understand what it mean?

Father in Father’s mind Father Heavenly Father when Father call with tears Father appears. So, here is my point. Bible mention, everywhere there is Heavenly Father, There is Heavenly Father everywhere . If I become, If I reach perfection, I also part oof Heavenly Father right. So when we deeply pray and call God and myself should appear, Understand? This is substantial being of Heavenly Father. I am the part of Heavenly Father , so we have to manage our life which standard I can love myself same as I love Heavenly Father. What about here, you can love yourself as you love Heavenly Father? No . . . you will hate yourself right? So what shall we do with this reality, Jun, when you pray and call Heavenly Father, your self appear in you? when you call God who appears in you? That’s why even we don’t have yet spiritual safe of humanity, No spiritual safe yet is made.

Spiritualist if open and see our spirit is just like ghost. Our goal of life of faith, we should reach ourselves as God.

If we manage our life really that, when we call Heavenly Father, our self image should appear, not only True Parents because God dwells everywhere. I am substantial being of Heavenly Father. So no image mean. . . I am giving you lesson which I got from Heavenly Father directly. Where is Heavenly Father, who is my God, we have to reach even my image appear as my God. So, what is the way? we should become Holy person. We don’t have to be a shameful to my conscience. So how to become like that? Sacrifice for spouse, whatever spouse likes, as long as this spouse loves vertically connected vertically with Heavenly Father and True Parents. Have to practice it. Can you do it? So when you can, your God can come to you/ When your God can come to you, in other words when we call Heavenly Father, even spouse should appear. I prayed many times but Rev. Kim never appeared. So this is my internal guidance. After Father gave answer, exactly me too when I prayed with tears. that image appear its Father appear. I was so surprised, how Father cry cry cry with Fathers, Father himself, Cry cry When Father call Heavenly Father with tears, hour hours, lamenting, and then Father cry to himself. And I brought this matter and still I couldn't digest it and brought this matter to Won Pil Kim, our eldest brother, And then he smiled and then put more fresh/flesh answer... Our goal to become perfect . . individual perfection is our goal, What about if we reach perfection, we will be substantial being of Heavenly Father, And when we pray we are the also image of Heavenly Father and that is the stage we can think somehow I reach some stage of my individual perfection, I have to love myself just like we love Heavenly Father and then maybe we can have confidence Oh I manage my life of faith correctly. Do you agree? It’s very important that’s why we carefully have to manage our life of faith. I love myself, so far, I ignored myself. I denied myself, it’s different meaning. I deny myself to respect myself, it makes sense, I deny myself to respect myself and put myself the position of Heavenly Father. If we manage maybe our spiritual life and daily life like that, maybe I believe many of you will remain.

Intermission

Try to challenge within yourself not to be dominated by evil selfish mind. There is something different compared to members who are outside, full-time between you there are differences. Sometime Father told us, even though you look like so foolish everybody, so shabby, but once you began to open your mouths, can subjugate the world. This are Unification members. When we are called and gathered in front of Father, everybody looked like foolish so fool and then shabby. I told you several times we are grateful to Heavenly Father that God protected us to work in the frontline the mission which always we talk those. . . Principle. And then everyday every hour whenever we talk about Principle some realization come and we are protected by that mission and God’s words which everyday repeat , while we teach others all the environment spiritual protection come to us. It’s very very precious mission.

The CARP Metro Manila team, especially the two of the CARP leaders, quickly grow up internally. and then with the strong spiritual strength, the public mind, just determine I will die if I am controlled by some selfish circumstances, I have to be controlled by some selfish desire, better I die. As young man if you determine, God will protect you, overcome every stages you can enter finally, until the final course. You just determine I will die, I will die rather than controlled by selfish desire, better. You do ? You have to train all our members under you

to really become strong and stable. With that standard of determinations, to send them to America, As Father told me, make Filipino America, every corner of America filled with Filipino. And then we can send those members there, and then Philippine will be great country.

Centering on the FSNWP organization you should be the very people who have to develop support develop this organization, finally until you can have those really influential 33 people who directly can guide you

willing to guide you. Do your best. I will wait to hear very good proposal, and then he will have meeting with all the HQ staffs more of staffs meeting will remain he will organize. Let us pray . . .
