4) Help of Ancestors

You should always think, "I am the child of God." Because "I" am such a subject, then all the objects that I deal with will have status and value equal to the child of God, the subject. Therefore, even a patch of grass that I relate to will be blessed. So, even toward the town that you are going to visit you should have the attitude, "Oh, today to this village, a man for whom it longs will come..." You have to continually have the attitude, "Those whom I deal with, and those to whom I speak sincerely and freely with will be blessed...."

If you can become such a person, then when the village persecutes you, spirit people in the spirit world will help you and become one with you as comrades. Even if a town opposes you, they in the spirit world will try to help you. However, when they help you in the spirit world, they are doing it for a purpose which they have in their minds. (66-259)

The good ancestors among your ancestors may have provided service for the works of God centering on Christianity at one time or another; but if you serve the cause of the Unification Church horizontally now, then all your ancestors will be resurrected. Why is this so?

All ancestors are the children of Adam. Although God's providence had been centered on Judaism and reached us through Christianity, now, because it has unfolded horizontally on the earth, just as have the people who have believed in Christianity for thousands of years, those who believe the Unification Church will have laid the foundation for the good ancestors to be linked to and work on the earth. (90-320)

The spirit world will also help. This is the time when people's ancestors have no choice but be mobilized. Because the spirit world has to be supportive about things that I have prayed about, their ancestors will help them. For this reason, when they go back after receiving the education, they will want to come back to the workshop site again. Up to now, many people have come and gone. Even today there were people who came for a visit. (134-42)

Just as the major religious persons in all cultural spheres come down to the earth and support their believers to help the progress of the world, your tribes, who stand in the position of tribal ancestors, can inherit the merit of the works done by your good ancestors and saints of the four major religions while they were on the earth. In other words, you face the era when they can stand in the position of archangels through the returning resurrection to assist Adam.

Now is the time when your ancestors will help. In the past, evil ancestors used their descendants for their own benefit. However, from now on it is the time when good ancestors can come down and work. For this reason, you really have to bear the cross. There must emerge those who are willing to bear the cross of the tribal level, and pay indemnity on behalf of the people, bear the cross for the nation and the world, and pay indemnity for the nation and the world. Because the hope of the nation and the people lies in the era of the world-level ideology, spirit people have not been able to stand in high positions but remain at the very bottom. However, if, in this time of the realm of worldwide merit you bear the cross and fight, then because of you all of them can be immediately resurrected. Then, on the horizontal position, you will have laid the foundation to save generations of your ancestors. This is the only way that your kin will be liberated. Do you understand what I am saying? [Yes]

You have to bear the cross. You have to take responsibility for the indemnity on levels of the individual, family, tribe, people, world, and cosmos. Representing this nation and land, you have to march forward as the soldier of liberation. You have to bear the cross, and being hit by arrows you have to overcome the difficulties. If you stand in a difficult position and endure the beating for the public cause, then you will later be rewarded to the same degree. You have to offer the prayer, "Even if I am not to be rewarded, please forgive all the wrongdoing of our ancestors. Our ancestors hesitated and wavered, and while going this way they at times walked the opposite direction and committed all sorts of bad things, so please forgive them for having done so. Even though they hesitated, please open a way for them to qualify for returning resurrection as the ancestors of direct lineage who can play an important role in the providence for God." This is your responsibility. You have to bear the cross of sacrifice for this.

First, you have to liberate your ancestors. You have to understand this. Then, you have to liberate your kinsmen. I assigned you to your hometown in order to do this. Being dispatched to the hometown is taking place for the first time in the six thousand biblical years. In the history of restoration wherein Cain had to be given the salvation, there was no theoretical grounds for the salvation of hometown. You are supposed to return to it and save it after loving Cain first. Isn't this so? Because I have returned after having paid indemnity for the Cain on the world level, you are bestowed with the blessing. (172-254)

When you become the person who can work on behalf of God after having inherited His Will and ordered the ancestors in spirit world, "Please adjust your orientation with the direction that I am pointing at," what is the direction that all of those spirits want? When you say, "We are to march toward the destination of the ideal world of love," would the spirit world say, "No?" What they will say is "Amen." (173-112)
