Chaju Guk! Dear Brothers and Sisters, Blessed Central Families of the Unification Community,
* Recently, Abonim has started using "Chaju Guk" -autonomous nation- as a new greeting.
I would like to share with you something I recently found. Something about the Spirit World and the reason why I believe Abonim has been speaking so much about it lately.
Before, just a few months ago, I could not understand why Abonim was speaking so much about the Spirit World, especially since God's Coronation Day...
In Cheong Pyeong Lake Hoon Mo Nim told us that if we do not work properly together with our ancestors, when we go back home, we were going to be in serious trouble.
Well, I think we tasted the fulfillment of this warning on September 11, didn't we?
Abonim did say that September 11 happened "because", since the Coronation Day, we, Blessed Central families, have not fulfilled our responsibility. Sometimes we might think that we have worked hard because we invested ourselves in some campaign, the best we knew how ... investing our time, money, prayers, and skills, but because the result didn't come as we would have like it to come, or as Abonim told us it would if we give 100% of our effort, we find some excuses for ourselves by saying that we were paying indemnity.
Does this sound familiar?
In reality, result has not been coming because we are missing the central point of it all: what Abonim has been telling us again, again and again. Abonim puts it in many different kind of words, in many forms, but now I am finding out that what he is speaking about is always the same one central point.
This sounds so many things to do, doesn't it?
But you know, my dear brothers and sisters, I understand now that this is all the same one unique thing. It all comes back to the same.
And it is not that complicated. It is, in fact, quite simple actually. Very simple!.
The place where we repent so sincerely and so much that we shed tears ... many, many, many tears for all the sins we know: our own personal sins, our family sins, our national sins, historical sins, America's sins ....
When we can repent that much with so many tears that they become "endless" -- because we feel that we can never cry enough -- we are finding all the other areas of victory at the same time: our mind and body are completely united into one.
We find the tearful wretched Heart of God ( the zero point ).
We find Abonim's heart and we begin to "understand" him.... Why? Because that is the way he has been living all his life...
Furthermore, when we are shedding tears of repentance for Heaven and Earth, our Spirit World brothers and sisters are attracted .
They come to us and shed tears with us.
What use to be a concept (the Spirit World ) becomes a reality!
We actually feel, sense, and sometimes even "see" our SpW brothers and sisters.
We find out that they are normal people like us and they want to cry together with us ..... and suddenly they are guiding us much more than before .... all kind of events start popping up in our life that we obviously recognize as coming from our SpW B&S.
Not once in a while, but every day, every single day, day in and out.
Also, in tears of love for others, we "meet" Abonim!
Not only we find him in the depth of our heart, but he also comes to us in amazing, surprising, unexpected, unforgettable ways (not dreams ).
In tears, we find our spouse's "true" heart, and our children's.
The beginning of new hope for our Blessed Central Families, to finally make it right after so many years where we have been wondering if the ideal of marriage will remain only a dream.... no! the droplets of love melt barriers between husband and wife, parents and children. This has been my experience these last 6 months. Ask Masahide, my husband! He might not be able to pinpoint what has happened but he is sure appreciative of the results...
This place of tears is where we feel "True Life", and "True Love".
It is the place of "absoluteness", where we find "absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience" in endless tears of repentance for Heaven and Earth!
If I were to compare my life "before" and "after" becoming able to shed, each and every day, tears of repentance and tears of love for God and others, I would say it is the difference between death ... and life.
I was dead and I am becoming alive!
I was blind and I am beginning to see ...
I was confused and I am starting to understand ...
Before, I was looking for something .... that I could not find ...
Before, I was trying to wash my dirty clothes, my dirty dishes ..... without water.
Before, I was trying to cultivate my garden ..... without water Tears! This Holy Water coming out of our eyes, running down our cheeks are washing our sins, all these sins we are struggling with in our daily lives, sticking to us stronger than glue, living in our blood, suffocating us at times .... these bad spirits leave us when "we" "stick" to repentance .... why? because low spirits do not like repentance, true real repentance in tears ... thus they leave us.... and when we continue to repent each and every day in tears.... these unwanted spirits cannot come back .... does this sound like bringing Cheong Pyeong Lake into our daily life?
I am not saying it is easy to melt in endless tears of love for God and others; no, it is not easy, but there is no other way.
Abonim says that if there was another way, he would have found it.
It is difficult .... but how worthy! And how tasty!
How wonderful it is to find true life and true love.
To find others, any others as my very own brothers and sisters.
To start shedding tears when we read the newspaper, because that man going to jail is "my" own brother .... and I am starting to cry .... is this not normal?
Abonim said: "if you do not shed tears when your own brother is going to jail, what kind of person are you?"
Why is it so important to invite our Spirit World Brothers and Sisters to work together with us, in unity?
Because if we don't "The world will become a pile of rubble, like an unattended grave, ... if we do not pray for it to be saved even at the expense of our own life." June 21, 2002
Well, my dear and precious Brothers and Sisters of the Unification Community, I wanted to share this with you.
I hope you didn't find it too boring ....
I hope ....
Choong Mo ( this is my new new name I was getting too comfortable with Yong Ho Moon which I switched to six months ago. I needed another change of name, to shake my comfortable and apathetic spirit world :-)
It is also a way to see who my true friends are! :-) just kidding!
