You have to begin making an earnest effort to educate yourself about the unity of the mind and body. You have to listen to the voice of your heart, the sound of your mind. The more you suffer, the closer you can hear that sound. In this way, you have to feel that you have become a resonating unity. After that when you see your hand, you can see light radiating out of your hand. You will undergo such three-dimensional mysterious experiences. Do you understand? It will become like that for sure. For this reason, you are not to complain. Jesus did not complain even as he was bearing the cross. It is the same thing. There are also the same iron-clad rules that apply to your life today. The stronger such a mind is and the more assertive such action is, the more your mind and body will become one resonating unity, a resonating unity. When this process unfolds, what happens is that you will realize that at night you have slept embracing someone, but as you look closely, you will find that the person is none other than yourself. You will find your spirit self sleeping embracing you. You will come to realize that it is your spirit self. Do you understand what this means? [Yes] This is how man is. You have to have such experiences. In order to experience this, you must go through a process of sacrifice. What impressed me during my life in the prison was the difficult course of suffering I went through. I found that the more I had such experiences, the more my mind became spiritually sensitive. Although I was doing physical labor that a normal person could not endure, even though the body was doing the labor the mind was not. When you do such things, your spiritual experiences will take big steps forward. When you experience them through this, your body will not know exhaustion. You have to experience this no matter what. Do you understand? Without such experience, you cannot become a resonating being after you go to the spirit world. You have to make an effort to have this kind of experiences. Then, the times that you experience me spiritually and meet me in the half-awake half-asleep state will increase. The more you do so, the more your spiritual vision will widen. Then you will be able to know just while sitting down what I am doing. Moreover, although you are in your house, you will enter the realm where you can live with and attend your parents. You will see it, you will see that they really come and live with you. When that happens, then the door to the spirit world will open automatically. That is how it is. This is a practical problem, a practical problem. It is not some nonsense, but a substantial problem. Only when you do this, will the whole spirit world help you as you do your mission. Because they help you freely, all the things that you do will expand horizontally. (102-48) Religion tells people to throw away things and give up control over them. Do you understand? [Yes] By denying in this manner, what is the one thing that is being sought after? By denying, you are not trying to destroy yourself, but are trying to resurrect yourself; this is the thought, the thought calling for resurrection. Do you understand what this means? [Yes] So you have to have conviction about yourself, a conviction that surpasses the universe. "I represent God and the universe from the position of goodness, and under any circumstance I will remain unchanged." Do you understand what this means? [Yes] Then, the phenomena that take place next is the attack from the spirit world. There will come spiritual attacks. There will be physical and spiritual tests. Do you know this? Have you ever gone through such spiritual or physical tests while you were in the Unification Church? [Yes] How does a man come to be recognized that he has won victory as a man? Is he to win by fighting with a man? [No] It is woman who is supposed to carry on the test. You have to mercilessly defeat this test by a woman. No matter how beautiful a woman appears to tempt you, you have to remain unwavering. (95-88) What it means by "experiencing the spirit world" is that you are being connected to the higher-dimensional world. Moreover, when this takes place, you of today can have a relationship and conversations with saints and sages who lived thousands of years ago, and you can even confer with them. In other words, within this time frame of substantial life of today you can have this experience and feel it with your senses. (4-225) We are talking about the heart of God. When we consider the question of where the heart of God is, if you listen to the voice during your prayer, it will say, "You should listen closely to the words of the Teacher. You should never make him sad. You have to make him happy"; this is the only thing that matters. This is what it will teach you. Moreover, when someone could not sleep because he missed me, the spirit world was opened up to him. This is the fastest way. The spirit world will be opened up. You will see what I am doing in America. This kind of thing will occur. This shows that on the horizontal stage you have created the realm in which you can experience me, who has been the subject of faith, as the practical and substantial subject. You have to understand that this is a great revolution in the religious world. Accordingly, you must have such concrete experiences. (76-152)
