3. OUR SYSTEM AND TRADITION

1) Headquarters and Us

If you are a person at the foot of a mountain and you want to understand the person who is at the summit, you must have absolute trust in him. Where there is negative criticism there is no progress to a higher level. Father provides all the tools and the environment, paving the way for you to attain success. But you cannot follow holding on to your own ideas. Your struggle will increase, and it is almost impossible to achieve what you want to achieve.

Headquarters and the church center are the only central points. If a direction comes from headquarters, we have to follow it. It has a connection to the spiritual world. You may not know about that relationship. In the spiritual world your ancestors know about headquarters' directions. If their descendants take the subject position, thereby releasing their ancestors' resentment, it means they have taken responsibility for both worlds.

This time, when you follow headquarters' direction, there will be personal inconveniences. At times you will feel repulsion in your heart. It will consume you if you follow that feeling. If your obedient heart is stronger, you will make progress.

When Father gives direction to Unification Church members, they want to obey without question. But when a national leader gives direction, then members say, "I don't know about that." Father says that these are words without substance. Who appointed the national leader? Because Father appoints the national leader you ought to obey the national leader, which is the principled way. The person who is a leader of more than 1,000 people has the approval of the spiritual world, passing its examination.

Centering on the national leader I want you to unite and support each other. Don't be concerned about what Father is doing. Be responsible for Korea. Support and unite with each other. I wish for lots of good news to go your way. However I know in order for a lot of good news to happen, it takes suffering, hard work and tears. Please, don't forget about this.

Even if it is very difficult, don't focus on your own individual viewpoint. You have to support the greater organization through order and tradition. That is the way it works in an orderly society. If some members say, "I'm an old member and I'll do as I want," that is not right.

Internally you need faith and externally you need a good foundation, which should be our church system.

Through our system, things gathered in the satanic world can return to the satanic world through the heavenly country. Thus, if you send a donation to headquarters, because headquarters is a symbol of Heaven it will be used for the satanic world. Use the money for the bigger purpose. Money multiplies. You are donating to headquarters, headquarters helps the nation, the nation helps the world, the world helps heaven. That is the correct order.
