3) The Fruit Born by the Achievements of Our Ancestors

You must realize that even though you don't know it, behind you there is a foundation of the achievements of your ancestors who came and went, and among the many tribes your ancestors achieved more, their achievement accumulating over and over again, and you are the people born as the fruit of it. Because the people who are gathered and called this way are the people harvested as the fruit of the achievements of their ancestors, and are the tribe which God has gathered into one among so many tribes, the fortune of the nation gets ruled by how the people with such backgrounds move.

Today the fact that you are related to the Unification Church is not centered on just a couple of years or couple of months of your life. This place is a historic place and a place of hope. It is the place with a historic relationship which could in reality be the starting point your life. Then, if throughout your life you didn't see the history, and you weren't related to it, how could you have this historic relationship of connecting to the Unification Church? That is due to the level, whether it be large or small, to which you made an effort to match the direction of your mind to the same direction as your ancestors' and to match it with the direction of the flow of the age. That is to say, according to how much you tried to become close to it you could connect that much more closely to the Unification Church

When seen from that viewpoint, today the situation you are involved in is not made by some individual named Mr. Kim. It is made through historical relationships. Today your being is wrong and is randomly put together, but among the historical relationships, many of your ancestors were loyal to the purpose of history and thereby made a foundation of merits on which you could unite with that purpose. It is due to the relationship of those merits that you were chosen today. (21-105)
