1. Ancestors are Looking Upon Us When you go to the spirit world, would your ancestors come to you or not? [They would.] They will say, "Wow, our descendants joined Unification Church and met Reverend Moon." There, the palace and royal family of Heaven will start. There has been no palace in heaven so far. Between the descendants who simple-mindedly do what I say and the descendants who try to be smart and evade me like eels, whom would they praise? Would they praise those descendants who act like turtles or like rabbits? [Those who act like turtles.] They will praise those who act like turtles. Rabbits sleep on the way, saying, "Oh, I am already here." Rabbits urinate often. (laughter) I don't know about turtles. I have not seen them urinate. Rabbits urinate on the way after a short while and again after a short while. Why? In order to mark their own territories so that others cannot come in. So we should be like turtles. Those who do what they are told to do and who move on day and night and regardless of seasons will be welcomed everywhere. The ancestors in the other world are looking at your life. There is no place to hide. Your ancestors are all watching. When you go to the spirit world, you can see through walls and even the entire earth. We should live in such a world eternally. We are created as God's objects of love, so as long as God is eternal, the object of love should also be eternal. So we are eternal as God is. Without being an object of love, there is no eternal life. You should know this clearly. Go and see if it is so or not. In the other world, who goes to the highest place? Those who wish it were possible to be born again tens of thousand of years, serving humanity as God does and consoling God, go nearest to God- those who try to use for humanity whatever good things they have. Isn't it so? When grandparents come close to the time of death, they pass on all the good things to their children, don't they? In our life, we should say that we will leave something precious behind for humanity, just as grandparents give over to their descendants all they have worked on. (213-196)
