The Words of Dae Mo Nim (Mrs. Hyo Nam Kim -- Hoon Mo Nim) |
On June 20, the matching results for thirty-five couples matched from the ascended members of the second and third generations were announced to those of their parents and other family members who had come to the Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center for the occasion. The following day, the Blessing Ceremony was held for those couples simultaneously with the blessing for the 162-168 generations of ancestors and the blessing of some 3,300 unmarried people in the spirit world, many of whom were relatives of members who attended Chung Pyung liberation workshops. What follows is excerpted from Dae-mo nim's speech to the parents and family members before the announcement of the names of the couples.
Good morning! Actually, this is a wonderful day. The first time I went to the spirit world after I began the spiritual work at Chung Pyung, I saw members of the second generation who had passed on at a very early age, that is to say, after having taken only a breath after leaving their mothers' womb. Others had grown somewhat before they left this world. Before I went to the spirit world, I thought to myself that since they are members of the second generation after they pass on they will be growing up in a good place, but when I went to the spirit world, I saw they had remained as they were. It wrung my heart to see that.
I reported in prayer to God, "Shouldn't we help these children grow?" He responded, "Why don't you try offering sincere conditions?" Without knowing how those children should be raised or how I could raise them into absolute, good blessed children that God can truly love, I still offered a many sincere conditions.
Now that a training center has been built in the spirit world, we can liberate our ancestors, purge them of their sins and lead them to become absolute, good spirits. Next to them, there are those blessed families who received the blessing on earth before going to the spirit world. We'd first helped those blessed families and others become absolute, good spirits so that they could nurture the children in the spirit world.
As Director Choi told you earlier, the holy candles in Jeongshimwon and in my prayer room are the ones that raise those children. In appearance, they are just candles, but they represent sincere conditions -- like mothers' breast milk in the physical world and then food in the physical world -- being made for the blessed children. In that regard, the candles have stayed lit and I have continued to offer conditions. Now, no matter how they lived on earth and how they were, they have all equally grown up into their most beautiful selves as absolute, good spirits.
As I continue to do the spiritual work at Chung Pyung, I wonder to myself, "If True Parents had not made possible the spiritual work at Chung Pyung, could our children have grown up under such circumstances?" That is why it was said, "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Only when the parents on earth create a perfected environment and nurture their children can the children grow up and receive the blessing in the spirit world. The truth is that while living on earth we are unaware of the environment our children in the spirit world live in, and what they look like and where they are. That is why it is impossible to say, "We will raise our children who have passed on into the spirit world while in the physical world and have them receive the blessing." This is truly impossible.
Many second-generation children in the spirit world took only a breath or two after leaving their mothers' womb before departing earth. Raising them is not an easy process. You may think it only takes telling them, "Drink milk," "Grow up like this," because it is the spirit world, but it is not easy to nurture every aspect of these children. It is not easy to raise them to match their current age as absolute, good spirits, and even if they went to the spirit world in adolescence, it is not easy to nurture them until they are mature enough to receive the blessing.
For this engagement, the matching has already been carried out in the spirit world. I took the name list of the young men and women to the prayer room and reported in prayer, "From this moment I will begin the engagement ceremony." In a way, it might seem easy, because there were only a few, but it took some days. During those days, God observed the lives of those children up to that time and did the matching in His mind. After He had matched them in His mind, He told them, "Go and find the one you like, that is to say, the one you wish to be blessed to." He did so to respect their opinions. So they came back with the partners they wanted, and incredibly enough, perhaps maybe because it is the spirit world, they came back with the partners God had first matched them to in His mind.
The parents on earth may have felt, "Oh, I don't like that family; I wish the matching could be with that other family..." Regardless of what they thought, God and the True Children in the spirit world considered the opinions of the parties concerned as much as anything else.... I was truly thankful for that.
Tomorrow is the blessing. In the first blessing of this type, after the blessing ceremony we told everyone just to go home. However, tomorrow will be different. Actually, after the Blessing Ceremony you need to hold a reception with your clan. In that way, they can be witnessed to. No one did it after the last blessing because I had not specifically told them about it. In the True Family, Hee-jin nim and Hye-jin nim were both blessed, weren't they? And True Parents did everything for them, almost as if they were still alive. So when you go to Cheon Jeong Gung, you can see that they have their own rooms there. At that time, True Parents also prepared new suits and shirts for their son-in-law and everything else, all of which are displayed in the rooms. You don't have to go to such an extent, but I hope the in-laws will share even more love than their children who have been blessed in the physical world, and that they will get together often. So, we will prepare a luncheon for the parents tomorrow in the public hall used by True Parents on the third floor [of the training center].
I hope you feel that this blessing is truly precious and wonderful, and truly a glorious occasion for those in the second generation. It is wonderful.
I hope you will feel gratitude to our True Parents and I ask you to form families of sons and daughters who are devoted to their parents and who are patriotic. Our children haven't come in yet. I'll have them come in right now and then announce the engagements.
Sit farther apart please, so that your children can sit beside you. If you have come with your family, the family should sit together. The children will sit beside their father or beside the mother if only she has come. Leave enough space beside you, so that your children can sit there comfortably. You don't need to sit in straight lines.
Now, your blessed children are entering. Please give a round of applause even though you cannot see them. [Applause] The beloved members of our second and third generations are now seated on the right side of their mothers if they have come alone, or on the right side of their fathers if both parents have come.
Our Director Choi will announce the couples. Thank you very much. Thank you.
