Eschatology
Strive first to become God’s perfect object partner
Father
said that we all must have spiritual experiences.
I
had many dreams when I first joined the church. Spirit world taught me whether
the things I was thinking were good or bad. Father said that this was help from
my ancestors.
I
had quite amazing experiences, too. I have come to have a more developed
spiritual senses. Also, Father and Mother are always within my consciousness.
It could just be that I have spent some much time with Father and Mother but
they are always in my consciousness. When I am doing simple tasks like eating,
I always have silent conversation with Father and Mother. As a result, my
spiritual sense became sensitive and Father and Mother taught me everything in
a very detailed manner.
I
worked as the regional director for Texas when I was living in America. Then, I
was called by Mother suddenly to attend her for eleven months after Father went
to Danbury. The thing is that I have a somewhat good brain but I am at the same
time a bit slow-witted. One could say that I am tactless. I have a tendency to
analyze things when someone tells me a fact. So I have always been smarter than
average people in learning about like geometry but I am slow in everyday
politic, so to speak.
One day,
a group of members was seated in circle with Mother. Mother was speaking about
something when she teased me, saying, Jil Ja still doesn’t laugh” since I
wasn’t getting the meaning of the conversation that was taking place at the
time. I was hurt inside but I still couldn’t’ understand the real meaning of
what was being said. Then Mother told me, “You should pray to God for wisdom.”
That was the extent to which I was slow-witted.
I
was actually praying a lot already. Mother prayed in her room, and we gathered
at the holy ground at East Garden where True Parents used to pray. We offered a
prayer vigil from midnight to two in the morning until Father was out of the
prison. We were intellectuals who joined the church in its early days after
listening to the Principle unlike the spiritual-sensitive people who joined the
church through prayers.
But
I still prayed very hard because Mother told me to. At first, I would pray
“please give me wisdom” and would get no answer. Some when I prayed, I first
offered a prayer for the greater purpose, praying for the safe release of
Father from prison, and then prayed for my own wish, “Heavenly Father! Mother
said that I am unwise and slow-witted; please allow me to have wisdom.”
After
some prayer, I felt as if God was telling me, “That’s some foolish prayer.” But
I still held onto it like a stubborn child for few months, nagging God for the
same things.
Then
I felt in my heart that God was telling me, “you keep saying the same thing.
This is getting old. You are annoying.” I became sure that God would give me an
answer someday. So I kept on praying, “Heavenly Father! Mother says I’m
slow-witted, please give me wisdom.” I prayed like a true fool. Then one day I
received an answer.
The
temperature was so low in New York that we shivered uncontrollably even after
putting on many layers of clothing. It felt as if the wind was trying to
penetrate into our bodies and we were cold from head to toe.
It
was an incredible cold day but I did not feel cold at all when I received the
spirit of God. It was as warm as springtime. I heard God’s voice while a mist
embraced me warmly in silence.
God
told me, “The wisdom you have sought from me with your prayer does not come
from you but it comes from me to you in its entirety when you become my perfect
object partner. What is mine will be yours, and what is yours will be mine.” In
other words, God told me that receiving wisdom is not the important thing but
becoming the perfect object partner to God is. I received such a grace-filled
and realistic revelation from God.
The Heavenly mother that we must know
We
must know that there is only Heavenly Father but Heavenly Mother as well. There
is an old lady named Wol Gwang Lee in Daegu. She was very open spiritually so
much so that she asks questions to God and God answers all of them. She was the
first one to discover the Heavenly Mother, and she had a special ability of
healing people since when she was in a Christian church. She used her special
spiritual ability to heal others but she refrained from doing it after joining
our church and listening to the Principle.
However,
sick people kept coming to her, asking to be healed. So she was sometimes
forced to heal people, but she would pay indemnity if she healed people.. so
she was so sick of it that one day she promised a pastor to participate in a
healing prayer service but then broke the promise and didn’t go.
Then
God became angry and left her. After God left her, she said that she felt as if
she was thrown into a pitch-black void, unable to know whether she was failing
or rising, unable to tell which was front and back. She became extremely
surprised and called out to God, “Heavenly Father! Heavenly Father! From the
top of her lungs. But her plea fell on deaf ears.
Then
she suddenly realized, “Right! There’s also Heavenly Mother!” so she started
calling from the top of her lungs, “Heavenly Mother” Heavenly Mother!” Heavenly
father would normally answer her call with a manly voice, “Oh yes, my beloved
daughter” but this time God spoke in a woman voice, “Oh, yes, my beloved
daughter” but this time God spoke in a woman’s soft voice. “What’s wrong?” So
this lady told God, “Heavenly Mother! Please save me. What should I do now that
Heavenly Father has abandoned me?” She begged her desperately.
Heavenly
Mother then said, “Then wait, I’ll go ask Father.” After much time, Heavenly
Mother came back and scorned her. “Why didn’t you keep your promise? Heavenly
Father is extremely angry at you because your mind changes more than a dozen
times a day.” Then the lady begged for forgiveness, saying “Heavenly Mother!
Please forgive me just this once, I will never do it again.” Then she left
after saying, “Ok I’ll go ask him again and come right back.” Then she, came
back and said, “Heavenly Father said there was no way for Him to forgive you
but He will forgive you just this once because of Heavenly Mother,”
Heavenly
Mother was surprised. For so long, humanity has always been asking only for
Heavenly Father even though there was Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Mother asked
Mrs. Lee. “How did you find me?” and said “Thank you” to her. However, when she
listened carefully to the voice of Heavenly Mother, it was the voice of True
Mother.
In
other words, I felt the God who was more well-balanced and I called out for
Heavenly Mother together with Heavenly Father. Even Heavenly Mother said, “How
did you know I existed? Thank you.” Please know that there is Heavenly Mother
who is so kind and warm.
