The three orderly stages of the growing period

The three orderly stages of the growing period

Father moves heavenly fortune by knowing the providential time.

Why does the Principle say Adam and Eve fell at the completion level of the growing stage? This is not something Father just made up. Just one clue can be found in the bible. It is the three sacrificial offerings of Abraham. Abraham’s three offerings represented all things in the cosmos.

God told Abraham, “Offer me two doves and two sheep. However, offer me only one cow.” Why did He do this? It was because Adam and Eve grew in a horizontal relationship during the formation and growth period, but they did not have the same horizontal relationship in the completion stage. This is why God told Abraham to offer only one cow, which symbolized the completion stage.

So the conclusion here is that Adam and Eve fell while they were in the completion level of the growth stage, and it was possible for Satan to invade up to this level. However, Satan could not invade the completion stage.

We can also know this by observing the way father advanced the providence in realty. On August 20, 1986, Father said, “Communism has been declining since 1960, and 70 was its last year, Satan cannot go beyond number 7.” He spoke again at a time when Communism had expanded its influence over the globe, saying “Communism will only go down, it will end.”

Each of the three stages of the Growing Period, Formation, Growth and Perfection, represent 33 percent of the whole. The portion up to the completion level of the Growth stage, where Adam and Eve fell, would be 66,7 percent, which is approximately 70 percent. That is why Father said Communism would began to decline 70 years after the Bolshevik revolution.

Communism ended just as Father predicted. Signs of its demise slowly begin to appear 60 years after the Bolshevik revolution. By the time 70 years had passed, it was clearly in decline. Even top figures of Communism, like Michael Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung bowed their heads to Father. It was because the time had come. That is why Father said, “I am a human just like anyone else, but I can do things you cannot.”

Judging from this, Father know the correct time in the providence. That is why he can predict what kind of time will come and what king of age will dawn. Nobody knows when this time will come.

What does it mean to move heavenly fortune? 

In other words, he moves the spirit world according to his will. Who made the Cheong Pyeong miracle happen? It was Father. Heung Jin Nim and Dae Mo Nim were able to move the ancestors and the whole spirit world upon the victorious foundation prepared by Father in the physical world. Father moves heavenly fortune in this way. In other words, he moves the spirit world.

Father once told us that moving the spirit world can be compared to trying to control a storm. When faced with a storm, human beings cannot stop it. Father moves heavenly fortune by moving the spirit world, and no leader in the world can defeat Father, because they are facing a storm.

You probably gave Holy Wine to many people. What do the people of the world think about this? Most of them will say, “What are they doing?” Still Father make us do things that people outside our church do not understand. It is because such actions can move the spirit world and bring heavenly fortune. Helping people drink the Holy Wine become a condition.

We also do not know everything. So what is absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience? Even though we do not understand, if we follow Father’s direction, we will be a part of Father’s work and we will be following Father when he moves heavenly fortune.

Growth and perfection of the spirit self

Our spirit self grows in three stages. Each stages of the growth of the spirit self has a name. The names are form spirit, life spirit and divine spirit. Here divine spirit means luminescent spirit.

Before we receive the Holy Blessing, while we were still attending university, Father would come to our campus. Father told us then, “if you marry a man in this world, you will give birth to a child whose spirit self is half human and half animal. He told us that half-human and half animal actually exist in the spirit world.

Before a human spirit takes form, it is at the level of an animal. Ok Soon Shin, a lady now in the spirit world whose spiritual eyes were open, told us that humans may walk on two feet with their physical body, but the spirit selves of those who have not gone through resurrection walk on all fours like animals. She told us that since we have accepted the word and have been resurrected, our spirit selves have taken on proper form.

Then, when we enter the formation stage, our spirit selves take from. Our spirit self develops in exact resemblance to our physical body. So our physical body is like the frame for our spirit body.

Father told us that when he goes to the spirit world, he will become a bright divine spirit emanating light. We will also shine brightly in the spirit world. The intensity of our light will depend on how much we lived our life sincerely while loving God, humankind and nature. Those who lived such a sincere life will have a bright spirit self.

Spirit world is filled with countless spirit selves who have separated from their physical body, and Father says he will notice the brightest spirit selves first.

Father once told us that when such a bright person leaves the physical world and enters the spirit world, Father will go welcome his child even before his child find Father. It will be as if the person’s father is embracing him, and saying, “my beloved son! Daughter! I was not able to be close to you when we were in the physical world, but you have lived your life very sincerely while loving God, people and all things. Know let us live together forever.

That is why God is fair. Even if we were not able to attend Father closely in the physical world, we can live with him when we go to the spirit world. This will be the great inspiration to all those who never had a chance to attend Father closely in the physical world.

The perfection of the spirit self is the perfection of the personality, character and love.

At the second verse of the Family Pledge we can find the expression “ saints in the world, and divine sons and daughters in heaven and earth..” I asked Father what a saint was. Father told me that there are three kinds of people: ordinary people, evil people, and saints.

Evil people do bad things to people, even those who do good things for them. Ordinary people are just normal. They will be good to you if you are good to them and bad to you if you are bad to them. Saints will only do good for others, regardless of whether others do good or evil toward them. I asked, “Father, then how a saint is different from the divine sons and daughters?” Father answered, “You can become a saint by obeying the laws of the earth, but divine sons and daughters must also obey the laws of the spirit world.”

Father said, “How have I lived my life? In one sentence, I have walked the path of loving my enemies, living for their sake and loving them.” In other words, growth of the spirit self means the perfection of love and the perfection of character. Therefore, to fulfill the duties of divine sons and daughters means that you must practice something of a higher dimension than saints must.

The 16th century Korean patriot Adm, Yi Sun Shin, sacrificed his life for our country. And is a hero in the eyes of the Korean people. He could not go to the best place in spirit world, however. This is because he hated Japanese people when he died. Adm, Yi wanted to kill more Japanese soldiers, even as he lay dying... that is why he could not go to the best place in the spirit world. Also, when he was shot, he yelled, “you Japanese bastard”. Since he was unable to love Japanese people on the earth before he died, he could become a hero but not a divine son. We must not hate anyone.
