If the members of the Unification Church not live selfishly but live for the sake of the whole, then all the good spirits will protect you. So, wherever you go your heart is at peace... They will all come to protect you. When you go to the spirit world, since the good spirit world is the place where those who have lived for the sake of others go, people who have lived selfishly will have the hardest time. People who have entered the altruistic world can march forward by having a relationship with the whole world because they have lived with an altruistic heart, but those who have lived selfishly will have to turn back. They will have to turn back because they are driven out ceaselessly. Therefore, these people will gather in different groups of similar types to go down to hell. So, right now, this kind of good spirits have descended to help you, and certainly your ancestors are all helping you. (164-308) What is the most important aspect of our heavenly lifestyle oriented toward the providence? It is a lifestyle that can win sympathy from Heaven. A lifestyle that can obtain sympathy. For a district leader today, there is a standard that Heaven measures you by. Suppose that God observed you with the standard in regards to ten things, but there were five which did not meet the standard. Then, the condition of opposition will be at work to the degree of five and members will fall away as a result. Not only would they fall away, but also, your environment will strike you. If a district leader falls down due to his failure to complete his responsibility in this manner, then he will not have a chance to revive. However, if you penetrate into that environment and before the standard of God you fulfill up to twelve or fifteen, then the ten that Heaven claims will be yours and you will stand in the position of having completed the responsibility while the remaining five will be bestowed on earth. After it is planted, because you were the one who planted it, it remains as the foundation that you can manage and which can represent the role of life with the fortune of this era, so that it will become the basis on which Heaven can work here. As long as this foundation remains, because there is a condition for it to be used as the stage and the foundation for the spirit world to help and defeat Satan, the people who serve Heaven will always be in the position to receive the sympathy of Heaven. If they stand in the position where God can sympathize, then it is the fundamental principle of heaven and earth that they automatically win the sympathy of all the people who are living for Heaven. (153-281) What you have to understand is that, when you make the determination and act for the sake of Heaven in the state that your faith is at its peak, then the good spirits will come down from the spirit world to help you. However, if your heart of faith weakens, then those spirits who have been helping you will leave you one by one. When they depart, how sorrowful will they be, and after that, when will they come back to earth and cooperate? If they leave you once, it is difficult for them to come back to you again. For this reason, you have to understand that you need to act in such a way as to increase the number of spirits around you first. This is the way that your work will make progress in leaps and bounds. The heavenly fortune will be bestowed onto you. The heavenly fate will... Do you understand what I am saying? [Yes] (161-273) The spirit world, fully mobilized, will come and help. You have to understand this. However, you must establish a condition for this through working harder than the spirit world. Adam had to put more effort in than the angel. It is the same thing. When the spirit world helps, is it trying to be indebted to you, or are you trying to be indebted to it? In the spirit world, they want to be indebted to you. However, how can you, who are in the position to give benefits and become the master, be worse than the spirits who are trying to be indebted to you? How can you be masters like that? Do you understand what this means? So, when the spirits of an area help, more than anyone who has lived in that region you have to have the absolute conviction that you will not retreat even one step when it comes to the question of being loyal to God. (102-98) Everyone, you cannot make it without the help of the spirit world. In order for the spirit world to help you, you have to be sincere. All of you have to be earnest and sincere. As the child of God, in the pure position of having transcended all the content of the fallen lineage, by taking after the heart of God, you have to seek the position of the child with a mind like God's, whom God cannot but always think about. Can you come to know this? You will come to understand if you know the Principle. (75-180) If water is higher than I am, it will always want to come toward me. So, if I achieve the state of vacuum, the high pressure zone will naturally approach me. This is the Principle. So, wherever I go I will connect to the place with the low pressure zone. What will take place is that good spirits will rush toward it and good phenomena will occur. In other words, new movement will unfold. This is the reason that every place I go there is always a problem. Even if I don't do anything, a fight will begin. A big fuss will be made, people arguing outside whether it is good or bad. How noisy is it nowadays also? Recently, people have begun to testify that Rev. Moon is a good person. Isn't this true? 9131-33) As soon as we go past the eighties... I have amazing plans but I cannot tell you right now. Keeping this in mind, I hope that you can persevere, holding a great pride in having joined the Unification Church, and no matter what kind of stone walls you are to meet against, with the firm determination to penetrate through them, go out and do your mission. Moreover, spirit world will provide ample assistance. You have to have the confidence that you will succeed in the work that you are involved in, and you must set out after having received the guarantee from the spirit world. Having done so, you must continue in your activities. Do you understand what I am saying? [Yes] In order to do this, you have to have a purer and better heart than anyone else, and while praying and adjusting yourself to the rhythm of Heaven you must proceed forward. In this way, you have to have the training in your life which will teach you to walk the path of indemnity with gratitude. I believe that you cannot make progress without doing these things. (88-261) Then the question is why the spirit world cannot help you. It is because you are not abiding by this Principle that it cannot help you. If it helped you, the end result would be helping Satan. (97-176) The spirit world cannot be moved that easily. You have to understand that without your embodying the Principle, it will not move. (102-47) If there is a village whose whole population can be won over to the Unification Church, then centering on that village, in order to fulfill your responsibility towards the town, county and the province, you have to transcend your own village. You have to understand that if God has put in a lot of efforts to prepare this foundation, then you cannot be successful with the county and the province without putting more effort than that. When we look at it centering on the Unification Church, to what degree is God helping the Unification Church from behind? At this time, how much is God helping the Unification Church? Centering on the degree of that help, we have to be prepared to toil to an even greater extent. (30-19) What kind of people does God help? They say that God helps those who help themselves. All you need to do is to do well independently. This is the absolute condition. You can never stop or retreat voluntarily. This is the formula. Those who want to deny it, try your way and see what happens. Try thousands, or ten thousands of years and see if you can succeed. If it was possible in that way, I would have been the first one to take advantage of it. (172-164) What do you want to be in charge of? Have you ever thought about what you want to do and how much you want to do it? You have to have the attitude that it is absolutely you who would do it, that you yourself have to do it. You should never want to rely on others' support. You have to have the mentality that you will have an impact on others and not just receive the influence of others. This is the only way that God will help you. This is also true for Heaven. Heaven helps those who can have impact and not those who just receive the influence of others. (132-10) You have learned it in the Principle. When you become the perfect plus, then a perfect minus will emerge. When I was in prison I did not open my mouth, but I still managed to do a lot of witnessing. Even under the situation where it would have been absolutely disastrous for me to be discovered before the swords and guns of the Communists, the spiritual world helped me. You have to understand that despite that, God who had been helping me is more than ready to help you, but that because you have not become the center of that kind of conviction God cannot help you. (69-288) You have to decide everything on your own. So, you have to have your own set of secret formulas. It seems that it is not enough to just follow such basic principles when you face severe opposition, but it will work. You have to push back whomever are the opposition force, and make them experience and feel to their bones that your achievements are in accordance with the Will of God. In order to do that, you have to be able to make judgments centering on the internal questions, and God has to help you. In order to receive God's support, you must pray a lot and exert yourself to the utmost. (46-297) This is because even if God were to help, it is only when He helps from the position better than Satan that his dignity, honor and authority can properly be demonstrated. He cannot help from the position below Satan. (49-243) The original nature of man moves only in one direction. If man moves only according to his original nature, then God will help; and because where one manifests goodness the moral laws will accompany, everything will turn out well automatically. (14-15) From now on, in your every act and word you have to reflect the heart of God. You must be intent on bringing resolution to the sorrow and resentment of the angelic world as well as getting historical satisfaction for your ancestors. In this way, we have to save this world where evil permeates everywhere. Since this is also the wish of the saints, we have to bear the responsibility of realizing that wish. You who are in such a position must not allow God, spirit world, and countless saints to remain in the way they are now, isolated from each other. In hoping that their wishes come true, if the spirit world were to be mobilized to help a person with no hierarchical relationship with them, it would suffer a great damage. Even God cannot be responsible for that kind of person. Moreover, God cannot help that kind of person. For this reason, if you wish for the support of the spirit world and God, and if in your position of serving the cause of God's providence you wish for His protection, then you must not forget that you have to become one in heart with God and good spirits.
