On the second day of the Sevenday Workshop for Foreign Missionaries in Korea, February 4-10, Father asked the workshop participants to come to Hannamdong to receive his guidance on February 5, 1990. During this visit, Father gave a sermon entitled True Abel, and afterwards “matched” West/East European sister countries.
I originally declared I would not use an interpreter after 1990. Should I have to break my promise? How many of you are studying Korean? Korean is the parent language, and you must use it to be with the Parents.
I invited you to Hannam-dong mainly because I knew you were wondering where I live in Korea. If you come here and see me where I stay, it can help you when you return to your nation and want to pray for me. This area is the most famous place in Seoul, and this house is probably the biggest house in Seoul. It is owned by the Unification Foundation, not by me.
The center of restorational history is God and the object of restorational history is Satan. We have to restore Satan. As a missionary, you may think of yourself as Abel simply because I appointed you. If you as a missionary are in the position of Abel, then the rest of the people are in the position of Cain. However, many religious people incorrectly think they are always right and others are wrong and therefore should follow them as Abel; but that is not the right way. First Abel has to take care of others and only then can he expect them to follow.
Even our missionaries in the field may have a wrong concept. One of the major reasons that our foreign missions have not improved or really developed is because of this wrong concept and attitude thinking that your people have to follow and respect you. Restoration history is recreation. This means that Abel has to give everything to Cain. When you give yourself totally for the sake of Cain, then they will be moved and inspired by heart to naturally follow you, respect you, and lead other people to you. Unless you have a true Cain, you are not a true Abel. A true Cain is one who voluntarily comes forward and treats you as an elder brother, not by force, but by his choice. Then your true Abel position is secure.
NATURAL SUBJUGATION OF CAIN
In yourself, your mind is in the position of Abel and your body is in the position of Cain. The body is mistreating and distorting your mind, directing you the wrong way, but the mind endures patiently, suffering for your body. Eventually, when you reach a certain stage your mind will be able to control your body to some extent. Think about how difficult it is to unite these two within you, mind and body, Abel and Cain; further, how difficult is it to unite different personalities. It is almost impossible to make Cain voluntarily surrender to Abel. You are standing as God’s representative as Abel. However, Cain is directing all sorts of Cain nature and characteristics against you. Satan is waiting in ambush. How can you make oneness?
Only when you make Cain surrender and stand on your left side, can you secure your position as Abel. As a missionary have you accomplished this foundation to declare yourself as an Abel? This is the problem! You cannot help God expand our activities. Think about your situation. How many souls have you killed? American, German, and Japanese were sent out and you fought each other, each wanting to be Abel. Isn’t this true?
Restoration doesn’t come without indemnity. But who pays indemnity, Abel or Cain? Abel! Did you do it? If not then heaven cannot help you and you cannot prosper. Understand this point very clearly. First become Abel on the individual level, and next, the blessed family must become the Abel for the Cain family. God is always working in this way.
Think about how far you have to go. You are now tribal messiahs, but unless you establish a strong foundation as Abel, as I have explained, how can spirit world and God meet you? We must love and think about God more than Adam and Eve loved God. Without this foundation, the spiritual world will not be able to work with you and help you. This is the formula course; it is not random.
INVEST EVERYTHING
Through living and practicing the eight different levels of the vertical course, I have proven it. Without the vertical standard first you cannot establish the horizontal. Because of the fall the vertical true love line was cut off. What normal people think is love is not true love. We lost vertical true love.
What makes a man’s heart and woman’s heart unite? True love. God dwells within when your mind and body become totally united. This is the same for the family, tribe and the nation. The horizontal and vertical line become one and then the universe will be turning as God desires.
At the Summit and AULA Conferences I am the founder, but I invest everything and do not ask for credit. The participants then naturally want to respond to me. In the position of Abel I have been giving to America, Russia and China. In turn they will feel indebted to me. I never go out and say, “I am Abel, so you must serve me.” There is no such phrase in the history of restoration. God doesn’t want that.
You must repent for the damage you have done to your own missionary countries. While I have been making the worldwide dispensation, centering on America, for 15 years, you have been working: in your own country, but you have not been doing very much because you got started in the wrong way. Therefore, this time when you return to your mission try to meet the head of each level in your country, like the president, governor, and so on, and then teach them about God and True Parents. You know what is coming in the future because of the Principle. In your mission country, you have to raise a leader from that particular country. Do not try to make yourself leader.
As you have seen in history and now, ordinary Christian missionaries may sometimes have nice dwellings and use the local people as servants. That is why many countries in Africa try to kick out and even kill the missionaries. Our way is to live with the local people and serve and raise them. If, due to some situation, you have been kicked out, your followers should be so connected to your heart that they feel like following you even to your death. As a white man you should go there and work even harder than the native people. Do you think anyone would try to kill you then? All your followers will provide you with what you need.
The fallen world lost true love. Once you connect people with the true love vine, no one can escape from you. The true mind of many people is seeking the way of true love. Everywhere the problem is lack of true love. Once you touch the original true love, you cannot go any other way or forget, ever. True love now has come through True Parents and everyone must turn that way. True Parents make the vertical love line. When you build a building, the first thing you do is put down an iron pillar into the earth. The missionaries must be those iron pillars. Who can help both the communist and free worlds? Right and left have lost power and both hands are paralyzed. The only place for hope is the Unification Church.
TRUE LOVE INDEMNITY
The problem for you is how to connect to the original root, trunk, and branch and experience true love. Everyone will want to follow us because they need true love. How about you? I am the true love owner, the blueprint for true love. Satan is the enemy of love. Do not maintain the habits of fallen love. You need true love too yes? It is a very difficult way. The original mind is the true love seed. True love fertilizer is needed for growing everything.
Cain and Abel can connect only through the original mind and vertical true love; this is the sacrificial way of indemnity. So only by paying indemnity with a heart of true love can we solve the problem between Cain and Abel. Unless you pour out more true love than Satan pours out his love, Satan’s influence and advantage will always be there. In the satanic world, people give a little bit and want a quick return. But in the heavenly way, you give everything you have and never talk about it until you come full circle, and then may receive recognition.
Now we know how to clean up and purify our situations as Abels. The sacrificial indemnity way is the true love way. Do you have true love? How can you find out? The way of true love is the enduring way and is not for yourself. Satan’s love is for oneself, not for others.
Now you must go a new way. The Oriental character is to take the enduring way. No matter how difficult the situation, the mind and thought don’t change.
Have this victorious attitude and then victory will come.
