Becoming one with God

About Me I was born in a small village in the South Italy. When I was 7 years old my father passed on to the spiritual world. Because of my family's financial situation, after primary school, I had to attend a catholic boarding school where I completed my study and after this I studied one year of Theology in Rome. My desire for a better world pushed me to look around for universal values. Learning about the Divine Principle of Father Moon brought me much hope. Around Oct. 1974 I had my first experience with God. He convinced me to join to the Unification Movement. It was on 1.1.1975. On November 1982 I was matched and blessed in matrimony with Theresa. We have a daughter and live in Switzerland. On the 40th Anniversary of my dedication to God, 1.1.2015, I received the first message from God directed to me and to all FFWPU members. The main content of these messages is that God wants to personally meet each one of us and help us to become one in love with Him as Jesus, Rev. Moon and others during the history did. I hope you too have the courage to try. You will have an unforgettable experience. Please try!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teacher closest to you is none other than your original mind. Your mind is more precious than your closest friend. It is more precious than even your mother and father. You need to consult your original mind. That is where God dwells. You need to reach the state where you can hear the voice of that mind.â&#x20AC;? (Sun Myung Moon 1984.07.10)

My True Mission (01.01.2015)

In the last few days, at the end of this year 2014, I had many internal conflicts about my mission. Therefore, this morning I invited Heavenly Father to come to me, wanting to discuss with him what I should do in this new year 2015. He came to me in an atmosphere of peace. I was just enjoying his love and he started to speak to me: “You have many problems. You are going to brothers and sisters seeking advice and solutions, but who made you? Who knows your problems better than I do? Why don't you come directly to me? I don’t only know the answer but also the remedy. I know you are very busy during the day, but try to find at least half an hour, make a little space in a corner of your heart, ask me to come (I cannot come if you don't want), put away all your worries and tell me sincerely about your situation. Can you trust me? After that, please don't go away, wait for my answer. Send away all your thoughts and make room in your mind for what I want to tell you. Also, be ready to hear things that are unusual for some people. It is not necessary to tell others about our talk. Follow your intuition. It can remain a secret between us. I like to have some secrets with my beloved children. I see you are very busy looking for guidance in the Holy Scriptures. This is good, but you are forgetting that I gave those words to the prophets and great teachers of the past. I taught them all the wise words that they passed on, but many followers of the world Religions believe more in their religious teachers than in me. Sometimes they even worship them. Actually, I was longing to speak directly with you and on the foundation, that, Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han, the True Parents made, this time has come. I called you to learn the Divine Principle, to teach the Principles, but also to live them in your daily life, not just to make a library of the past and present Holy Scriptures and to forget about their purpose. I was very happy when you were teaching about the Growth Period. This is essential for me. Many years ago, you met True Parents, you received the Blessing at the top of the Growth Stage where Adam and Eve fell, and walked together with True Parents for more than 30 years in the Completion Stage. The True Parents fulfilled their mission and my son Sun Myung Moon, came to meet me in the Spiritual World. Now I'm waiting patiently for you to find the courage to enter the Stage of Maturity. This means you’ll be in my direct dominion. Very few people had such courage until now. I hope you can do it as soon as possible. I'm waiting for you or maybe are you waiting for somebody to tell you when you are perfect and to give you permission to come to me? Don't worry if you have some problems, I have more problems than you. Please don't wait anymore. We can grow together and build my kingdom together, or even improve our kingdom, because we are one family.

Becoming one with God

Please don't wait anymore. I lived long enough almost alone, with just a few people. Now is the time to realize my Kingdom here on hearth. Don't forget, the kingdom begins in our hearts, and nobody can destroy it, except if you are making the mistake of leaving me. Your Father God

Three Stages of Growth (03.01.2015)

According to the Divine Principle, you should go through the three stages of formation, growth and completion, which for human beings signify childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Every human being must go this path. How many of you are really doing it? Everybody is growing physically because they have no choice. The laws of physics and nature force you to grow and you have no control over it, but what about your spirit? Are you growing spiritually too? This is the true problem of human beings. You are growing physically but not spiritually. You grow up, marry and have children. You pretend to act like adults, but your actions are sometimes very stupid, because you are going against your human nature. Many times you act like small children who are fighting and using small toys to hurt each other, but in reality, you are carelessly using dangerous weapons to wage senseless wars. You are spending all your energy on destroying each other instead of concentrating on improving the environment. I created you to enjoy life, to enjoy nature and to have fun. You haven't grown enough until now. This is our important mission for the future. If we want to live in a better world and a better society in which our children can live a happy life, all of humanity must grow together as a big family. Spiritually this family is composed of children and teenagers. Who will educate them? They need parents and teachers. Do you want to become True Parents, as well as teachers to my children? By children I don't only mean Family Federation members. I mean the 7 billion children who don't know me. Teach them about True Parents, but don't forget that I'm the one True Parent who created this beautiful universe just for my children. You have to bring them back to the Garden of Eden. I educated you through the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers. You are able to explain the Old, New and Completed Testament very well to people. Can you also speak to them about my feelings? You need to step up to a higher level. Do you really want to become a role model and a true teacher of Cheon Il Guk? I will tell you the secret to achieve this: it is to come closer to me. Discuss with me, experience my love and feelings, enjoy and feel the beauty of being in the Heavenly Kingdom. Then you can understand the true meaning of the Principle. When you reach that point you can share with others not only the written words but also the inherent meaning of the Divine Principle. When you are in my realm of love, this love will spread automatically into your surroundings. 7

Becoming one with God

You will see. If you live in me and we become one, people and nature around you will be able to feel my love through you as well. This is the way of a true teacher. I need such teachers to build a world of love, unity and harmony. God

My First Encounter with God (06.01.2015)

Heavenly Father, it is so beautiful to experience your presence. Your love is calming and peaceful. I’m just enjoying it. Is this experience not the essence of your Kingdom? A kingdom which Jesus already promised us 2000 years ago? What is the difference between that Kingdom and Cheon Il Guk? Doesn’t your love remain always the same? Do you remember when, in Turin, after listening to the Divine Principle, I was so excited about this new ideology? At the same time, I was also frustrated to see how my future brothers and sisters of the Unification Movement were applying this great ideology to daily life. They were so young. How could I agree to being part of this movement? Now, for the first time, I feel I need to repent for my attitude at that time. I'm sorry. I didn't know you and hadn’t experienced your love yet. I wasn’t even completely sure of your existence. I did not know what to do. Therefore I wanted to look for something different. It was around October in 1974. I told the members of this small group that it would be difficult for me to keep coming to the center. That evening I said goodbye to them with the deep conviction that I would never return there. During the next few days I struggled internally about whether my decision was the right one. I had very strong doubts. Finally, one morning, after coming back home from work, I lay down in my bed. I saw the symbol of the Unification Movement and on the spur of the moment I demanded: “If you really exist, God, show yourself! “Do you remember? I can never forget what happened next. You came to me as a cloud of love. I felt myself enveloped not only spiritually but physically in that cloud. We became almost one body, at least that was my perception. I didn't know how to react. I was so happy that I just started telling you jokes. I don't know how long we stayed together in this way. I remember very clearly when you started to leave me again. Your energy of love was leaving me and I tried to stop you by saying “Please don't go”, but you left anyway. During the next few days I was in a spiritual state that made me feel as if I was flying rather than walking. Why am I telling you things that you know better than me already? Maybe I like to remember our first encounter, because this event changed the path of my life. From that time on I kept saying to myself. I don't need to believe in God because I know already that God exists, just the way I know that my relatives and friends exist. Do I need faith to believe in my brothers’ existence? Their existence is a fact to me, a reality. Having met you is a reality too. Isn’t that true, Heavenly Father?

God is the Truth and the Love (09.01.2015)

Dear children, I'm your God and your Truth. The world is merely an expression of the truth and therefore of myself. Your understanding is only one interpretation of the truth, influenced by your mentality, character, culture and way of thinking. Every teacher reflects the time and place he lives in and he is given guidance by me, to bring humankind one step forward. This can be seen when learning about different religions. The fundamental teaching and values of all religions, which are the essence of each faith are the same. The differences can mainly be found in religious and cultural traditions. The importance of such traditions lies, in upholding morals. Religious traditions have become part of the different countries’ cultures, which influence people’s daily lives. In this sense, religious tradition has become a factor in structuring and stabilizing people’s lives. For these reasons I like traditions. At the same time, it worries me when people confuse traditions with the truth. While truth is the essence, traditions constitute the external form of religions. A misconception of the role of traditions can cause them to become stumbling block in the way of human development towards the understanding of the truth. Practicing religious rituals purely as a routine can defeat their purpose as a means of communication with me. My essence is not only truth but also love. Truth and love are both expressions of my being. Love is the one expression which can make a better world. While truth, in its expression of me and the way people understand it, can change according to different times and people, love always remains the same. During the history, it was not the Christian leaders who brought great changes. Instead it was the forgiveness and love practices by the followers of Christianity. It was Jesus’ message of forgiveness and love for his enemies, even when he was on the cross, that changed the world, when people tried to follow his example. This was the crucial point which started a new dispensation, the New Testament. The Christian religion developed because of the love the early Christians were practicing. This was the reason why the Roman Empire declined, while Christianity rose. This Christian providence was propelled forward until today. It became the source of human rights, of freedom and dignity, thanks to the saints and wise people who loved humanity unconditionally. My dear children, this formula hasn't changed and will never change. My Kingdom will not be realized merely through truth and systems. As we can see daily, the different interpretations of the truth cause more and more division. I want one single family, a global family. Only forgiveness and reconciliation can bring all my children together and create a world of peace.

How God Communicates with Us (11.01.2015)

Dear son, I see you struggling to translate into words what you are experiencing with me. In the past, you were searching and asking people how I could communicate with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden since language didn't exist. Now you know, at least partially. We were communicating through contents and images. Their spiritual eyes were open. I could speak to their mind and they could perceive my thoughts exactly. Our communication was very clear. The separation from me was a separation of their heart from my heart, their mind became more filled with fallen thoughts every day. Our communication became more difficult day by day and finally, with time, it was completely cut off. Their descendants became ignorant of me, of my existence and they tried to develop the human language. This was good. Ideally, it would have been good to have a single language, to keep the brotherhood and to have the consciousness of belonging to the same family. They spread out little by little all over the planet and as a consequence, many languages developed. This long separation between my children brought on the loss of, first, their original parent and, later, their brotherhood. Different languages, traditions, cultures, kingdoms and races were the result. They started to see each other not as brothers, but as rivals. Egoism was born on the individual level, then grew on the family, society and Kingdom level. Violence and war became the means to solve conflicts. For me, it was very difficult to see my children living and suffering in this way. I always kept trying to find a person who could understand my heart. Such people were considered to be crazy. They were isolated, tortured or eliminated. My goal was to send a new Adam. It took a long time of preparation. I guided history to have a large empire, a common language and a culture (Hellenism) which could help my children to understand my messages. Jesus did his best to let my children know about me. He announced officially to the Jews of that time that I am their original Father, that I love them and I was longing to communicate again with them, not only through the Bible, but heart to heart. This teaching was against their traditional interpretation of the Holy Books. Their fallen nature did the rest and my beloved son ended up on the cross. Can you imagine my disappointment? His sacrifice laid the foundation for him to come back at a better time and to complete his work. Now is your time. You received the message. Try to apply it in your daily life. Remember: the purpose of the True Parents is not to found a new religion, but to open the way to the original communication, just like it was with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. I want to communicate directly with each one of you. My words are words of truth and love. I will speak to your conscience and if you follow it, you will find peace and fortune. You will 11

respect and love your wife and children. You will respect and love your brothers and sisters. You will respect and love every created being and they will respond with gratitude. In this way, my dreams in creating the universe can finally come true in Cheon Il Guk.

Jesus’ Mission (13.01.2015)

Dear Children When Jesus came 2000 ago, he was talking so much of Me, of my Kingdom and our relationship. I had so much hope. Although Jesus had to go to the cross, he declared very clearly that I needed to speak directly with each one of you, but even the best saint had difficulty to approach me in the way that Jesus was living. Jesus said unequivocally “Be perfect as your heavenly Father perfect is”. How could the Christian people reach this level if they didn't try to communicate directly with me? Some Christians tried to imitate Jesus and became wonderful people carrying on Jesus spirit, but they put Jesus on the altar and almost forgot about me. This was a big misunderstanding. In our time, I sent the True Parents, They, talked directly with me, learned from Me the Divine Principle, and I was so happy that I convinced many of you through experiences and revelations, to follow True Parents, to help them in establishing the Cheon Il Guk. Thank you for sacrificing all your life for me and for the benefit for your children and for all mankind. Day by day I'm becoming anxious again. I'm noticing that when you meet together you are talking so much about your activities, about your strategies how to win the heart of people, how to make many members and a strong family, how to make “One family under God”. But “Who is God?” God is me. You are talking about me. You want to help me to build my kingdom. Sincerely, who asked me how I want my Kingdom? Why does almost nobody ask my opinion? Why don't you involve me in your discussion? Sorry, perhaps I'm expecting too much from you. You were used to making long prayer conditions repeating many times the same requests. I can give you what you are asking for. You are like children who repeat the same thing over and over to their parents until they get what they want. This is a level for children. I would prefer that you talk with me as if you are talking with your spouse or your children confidentially. Some members are already doing it. In the beginning, it was difficult, but little by little we can talk almost all day long, or at least they have the joy of my presence as long as circumstances permit. During our talk I can make you a sharer of my future plans, sometimes even of my concerns, for example how to educate those who have a more difficult life and react in the most unpredictable way. You'll see, we'll be a real family. Thank you for listening patiently to my worries. Sometimes I repeat my wishes in the hope that these will gradually take hold in your hearts. If you grow I can tell you deeper things. Try to talk to me, you will not be disappointed by what awaits you.

Crisis are a Chance for a New Beginning (15.01.2015)

Dear Salvatore I'm sorry to see you going through some mistakes and crises. I cannot see in this moment other ways for you to realize your limitations. Even if I'm sending messages through you, that doesn't mean that you are better than the others. You can see well what others can do better, but it is difficult to see and solve problems created by your fallen nature. Don't be discouraged. Crisis are not negative. They are a chance for a new beginning. I also made my mistakes because I was not able to predict the degradation of my future children, I mean the humans. This had big consequences in human history and in my own history. You know it already because Rev. Moon analysed the history of restoration. If you need to, you can study more about it. Now we have to go back to your crisis. Your life in the Unification Movement has been made of beautiful periods, full of satisfaction working for the good of mankind, and times when you had to think about yourself and make progress in your spiritual life. Simply put, you had to learn to put into practice what you have taught to others. For your leader, this difficult time was lost time, because you did not bring results and numbers, but for me this was the most important period in which you had time to look inside yourself, analysing your situation, finding ways to change some parts of your fallen nature and make progress. There are many people who speak much better than you, but not many people are ready to improve themselves. Still they are doing something good. You have spent the last three years suffering and asking me constantly what to do to change your situation and get out of the crisis, but I wanted to see how sincere you were, persevering and ready for a new mission. You are no longer young, the future of your time is limited and I hurry to make you grow. You can grow when you see your limits and your weaknesses. This is not so good for you and for me too, but as I said, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see another way which is faster. As you see, I can still talk to you in these situations and see you smiling again. Please do not forget what I told you. Please love all those who are close to you as I love them, and try to see my likeness in them. Do not watch their small flaws. They have time to improve and I know better than you how to show them the best way suited to them. Go ahead because we are only at the beginning of this new mission that I have prepared for you or better for both of us, because we will work together and I believe that what I have in mind must succeed. Go ahead.

Dedication of Heart (20.01.2015)

Dear Son What is the difference between you and the True Parents? Outwardly there is no difference. They were conceived and born like all of you. They eat, drink, sleep like all of you. You have been a few months near them. You have been able to observe them very well in their daily lives. You went to make shopping with them and together with your colleagues of the IIPC. What was different in their lives from the lives of many of you? What have you noticed in a particular way? The difference between them and you are the level of heart that they have achieved thanks to the continuous relationship with Me. This is what they have different. They always received you with a smile. They have treated you like princes and princesses. You sang your best songs for them. They offered you the most delicious food and shared with you the most intimate moments. In New York, you were worried that the money for your daily needs was not enough. Have you ever missed something? I do not let myself be outdone in generosity. Whenever you needed something, they gave you plenty of money. Is that not true? Did you ever feel that they criticized other people? Never. At that time, there were various difficult situations. He never criticized. Indeed, he never wanted to get into this argument. And every time members made some mistake, he took responsibility as if it was the Father himself who made the mistakes. This is true love. The love that he learned from me. You have followed the True Parents. What have you learned? You are doing many Korean bows according to the custom, but do you really respect them? You honoured them with words and gestures, but what have you learned from them? Why did I send them? The main purpose is to show you the way, to join in my bloodline and achieve the same level of heart and dedication that they have practiced in their life. Will you achieve this? I tell you, if you show the same dedication as they did, you can do greater things than them, because the door is open. Stop complaining and speaking of others, even of those who seem to be criminals. Is your merit that you were born and educated in privileged nations? This is only the result of the sacrifices of your ancestors. Do you think I blessed these nations financially to become selfish and think that everything belongs to them? Instead of sharing with those less fortunate, you prefer to throw away so much food and let your neighbours starve. All living beings are my children created by me. You are brothers and sisters. There is no distinction of colour, race or nation. Often you have religious bias. Why do you call yourselves Unificationist, if you do not live the message of Christ? You are looking with horror at what is happening in the Middle East. Have you forgotten the religious wars which your ancestors made in my name until a few years ago? You know the message of Jesus. You have met Sun Myung Moon in person. I want you to be messengers of peace. Not a selfish peace, but altruistic. Not messengers of a religion, but my messengers. You must talk about me. Tell everyone that they are my children. I'm looking 15

Becoming one with God

forward to meeting them. Let them open their hearts. My Kingdom begins inside their soul. Every time you do good to one who does not deserve it, I feel it was done for me. Tell them all these things and do the same. If you do the opposite of what you tell others to do, our dreams of a better world will remain only dreams and unfortunately, I will have to look for others who will replace you. Often you talk about love, but there is no love without justice. You talk about a universal family. How can you achieve it, if you do not overcome the resentments towards your neighbour? Please be brave, go ahead. I am and will always be with you. To take care of 7 billion people, it is not a joke. I need you and your perseverance.

God is the True King (25.01.2015)

The day True Parents crowned me, it was January 13th 2001. It was a big day for me. Nobody understood why Rev. Moon was doing it. Who can have the courage to offer me a crown? So many people, and you among them, thought He was crazy. I told him to do it. When Lucifer seduced and took away my young children, he took away everything I offered them. The whole Universe became the property of Lucifer. I, the creator remained alone suffering for such a loss. I was always looking for some chance to win back my children and with them all creation. It was a long way full of conditions in order to get back what was originally mine and gave as a present to my beloved children. The 13th of January 2001 is and will remain one of the most important days. True Parents through their achievement, came to my side where Satan could not come, and initiated a new Kingdom, the Cheon Il Guk Kingdom. All the kingdoms of the past, even the closest to me, were influenced by Satan. The Kings pretended to govern in my name, but actually their methods were satanic. They oppressed my children and persecuted them, again in my name. Even the churches followed such a way and killed my best and loyal believers, again in my name. All the governments and parties and associations are still influenced by their fallen nature. The new millennium is bringing change. Many of my children are growing. Many are becoming conscious of their responsibility in all fields. I have much hope. The realization of my kingdom is on track. Nobody has the power to destroy it. The more you grow spiritually; the better will be my Kingdom. Because of fallen nature we must be careful. As I said we are starting anew. All the cultures are the result of religion mixed with fallen nature. The base of my Kingdom is unconditional love and my culture is not any traditional culture. My culture is the culture of heart. The more you become one with me, the more you will grow in the true way. With me you can learn true love. My kingdom will reflect your maturity. The better you become, the better my kingdom will be. I hope this point will become clear: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My kingdom is the result of maturity and unconditional loveâ&#x20AC;?. Your God

The Polical World is Corrupt (26.01.2015)

Dear Children The political world is corrupt. Many politicians pretend to represent the people who elected them, but in reality, they are representing their own interests and the interests of the lobbies from which they receive extra money. They are not anymore free to decide and to make good laws for my people. How can I work with them? Many of them donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a minimum of human dignity. They sell themselves and the common good to those who exploit my children and create injustices, betraying the people who have placed their hopes in them. I want a change. A big change. I educated you for so many years through the Principle and True Parents. You are my hope. I want to entrust to you the destiny of my kingdom. A kingdom of justice, righteousness and equality. Far away from the corruption which is permeating this society, reflecting the style of Satan. You have to become the alternative to this world ruled by Satan, but some of you put aside my teachings, and took as models the politicians of this world. Some of you are talking so much about peace in your meetings, but within you, you are dreaming of how to solve the conflicts by war. You are preaching love, but inside you, there is hatred against your less fortunate brothers and you treat them as your enemies. You should be the foundation of my Kingdom on Earth, but some of you misunderstood my messages of peace. Instead of influencing other people, you are following their fallen way to solve problems, the way that brought so many tragedies upon this planet. I do not want to lose you. Come to me. Talk with me. Become one with me as you are teaching others in the first blessing. Only if you learn true love from me, can you also learn true peace, my peace. If you have problems accepting this message, come to me. I can explain to you what I want. I can share with you my love and such experiences will remain unforgettable all your life. If you have questions, I can answer you directly without mediators. Clean your mind, chase away all your preconceptions, ask me the most difficult questions, and if you are humble and patient you will have the answers that you need. I want that my children understand my desires clearly. The love of the world is only surrogate love, but it is a preparation to experience my love. I'm longing for you and I will wait for you. Your Father God

God is the only God (28.01.2015)

Beloved! Many of you are wondering why Jesus said, "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father, because we are one." Many have interpreted that He was God. In a way, he is also God as are all of you, and as are the True Parents. All of you are in my image. I have begotten you, so you have my characteristics. You are my children and it is normal to inherit the appearance of their parents. The great religious leaders became one with me in love. So, my dreams have become their dreams, my suffering has become their suffering, my concerns are their concerns and my disappointments have become their disappointments. The quality of our union is different. I entrusted them with a different mission. There has been a long preparation for the central figures who have worked for me in the history. I am very grateful to them for the hard work they did. All mankind should be grateful to them. Please, do not put them in my place. They are the pioneers of a new era, pioneers of my Kingdom here on Earth. They have taught you how to live. They have become the way, the truth and the life. All these things they learned from me, but they are not the only ones to express my truth. I never dreamed that in my Kingdom are citizens of two or more classes. To me you are all equal. You have the same value. There are not the best and the worst. I cannot stand to be told that I am not fair to my children. It is you who copied the mentality and the fallen system and you want to introduce it in my Kingdom. I can communicate with all of you and this time will come. I said that my good pioneers have created the foundation for my Kingdom and have opened the door to enter, but they are not the ones who decide who enters and who stays out. I want you all in and not just the privileged ones who know the principles. The blessing is not just for the elite, it is for everyone. I want all of them to be connected to my bloodline. Do not make it difficult for those who need more time to figure things out. Many people in the world are ready. Often those who have the responsibility to organize make things so complicated, that I myself can hardly understand them. I have difficulty communicating with very smart people, or they think they are smart, because their minds are full of themselves and their thoughts. They don't leave me even a little bit of room to tell them something. They do not find the time to talk with me, asking me if I agree with what they do. There are some who ask, but they are so busy, day and night with their activities, that they run away without giving me time to reply. I appreciate their efforts. Thanks a lot! In my future government I want honest, sincere, simple people, people who are going to listen and communicate my Will to others and not their complicated strategies. 19

I think I have said enough for today. If you can understand at least half of what I have said, it will already be a great success. I will return to this problem later. Your Parent and King of the Cheon Il Guk.

The Language of Heart (30.01.2015)

My dear son, I mean you, Salvatore. I want to console you. When you look back on the years when you were doing a mission, many times you felt frustrated about your small results and even now you think you failed in your mission. I didn't send you to the former Soviet Union because I needed a teacher for the people there. They were coming by themselves because they were hungry for my Truth. I had so many qualified and clever members who knew how to teach the Principle. I needed you there for other reasons. I needed somebody who didn't have special skills, who had very little to be proud of. Your English was so poor that the Russian teachers refused to have a meeting with you, because of your limitations in the language. You had a special mission. Your mission was to convey my love in a very simple way. You must remember how many people, who could not speak English, asked you to take a trip with them to show you the beauty of their country. How could you understand each other? This was the language of heart. This is my language. There is no misunderstanding in this language. There are no arguments. When you went to visit the Korean brother near St. Petersburg, who was trying to make a Korean community there, you promised to support him. This created a big misunderstanding with your leaders. Please don't have any resentment. They had their reasons. You lost your local mission, but you didn't lose My trust. Therefore, I stopped you from leaving Russia. I needed you there. So many people during the workshops liked to speak with you, even though you could communicate so little with them. Now you are here. Forget about all the past. Don't think too much about your future. Do what I suggest to you every day. You see that I come to you almost every day and sometimes even many times during the day. Yesterday we were in contact almost all day long. We discussed many issues. I taught you many things. You don't always need to write everything I tell you. Don't have any illusions. Not everybody can understand and agree with what you are writing. You are not the best writer and My deep thoughts are not easy to translate into words. You are not bound by dogmatic teachings. You are somehow free to say what I tell you and one day, if you should be alone, I will be always with you. Don't be afraid. Please continue the way you are doing. I will take care of you as I did until now. Don't leave me. Your True Parent God

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be Strongâ&#x20AC;? (02.02.2015)

Dear Son, I'm very happy about yesterday. You made the first step. You could overcome your hesitation. In your life you were always afraid of disturbing others. Humility and shyness are two different things. As long you are representing yourself, I can accept that. But you are speaking in my name. You must represent my dignity. I'm your God. You have to talk with my authority. Please, take all the time you need to communicate my Will and my desires to the community of ZĂźrich and to all other people who are ready to listen to my words. Share without fear what I'm telling you. If they don't believe, don't worry. This is their problem. I want a revolution of heart. The world is full of clever people, but they are using their skills to promote themselves, their ideas. I need children who can unite their mind with mine, and communicate to others what I really want. Be strong. Do what I tell you. The message that you read yesterday to the community, already reached the original nature of some members. We just have to continue. Be strong. You are not alone. I already have some messengers who are working very hard. I need many of you. 7 billion children are a lot. My love is like a fire. I need to put fire in many places, so that if in some places the fire goes out or someone turns it off by force, I will always have some in reserve. One day it will be so big that the entire cosmos will burn with love. Then all my children will be cleansed from their sins. Many diseases will disappear. Justice will reign on Earth. The poor and the rich will share their bread. I, the king of the universe, can finally walk on this planet, talking with my beloved children, rejoice together with them and take care of the entire universe. What do you think of my plans? Talk to the others of these plans. Give them hope. They must not give up a few meters before the finish line. Do you understand how valuable it is that you're doing? Go forward with confidence. Your Father and your God

True Citizens of Cheon Il Guk (07.02.2015)

Dear Children It is very sad what is happening in the Korean Movement. We are close to the Anniversary of the Substantial Foundation Day and of the important Day of my Coronation as King of Kings of this Universe. Is this the present that some of my Children are giving me? Is this the result of so much work and suffering of the True Parents, and work and dedication of so many members in preparing this Anniversary? What did you learn from the dedication of my son Sun Myung Moon? How can you build my Kingdom? Stop criticizing the governments. You should help them to change their attitude, their heart, their motivation and transform their governments into governments which Satan cannot influence anymore. I want that all the governments in the world can change and become part of the Cheon Il Guk. How do we want to do it? I mean my Kingdom? Are you good and loyal citizens? Are you paying your taxes? How are you using public money? I mean the money that belongs to the nation. I don't want your traditional standard in my kingdom. I have nothing to do with such a way of applying my Principle. I don't want a Korean Cheon Il Guk, I want a Cheon Il Guk for all the world. I want a Cheon Il Guk where you realize the Three Blessings. Where you can become one with me and start to think as I think. Start to love as I love. Start to act as I act. Not using my Principle for your own sake, for your own private interest. My citizens have to be honest, sincere and reflect my image. You are trying to celebrate the Foundation Day Anniversary with big ceremonies. This is good. This also can help, but my main desire is to speak directly with each one of you, communicate with you heart to heart, and for you to have the unforgettable experience of meeting me face to face. This is the true beginning of my Kingdom. Only if you become one with me in love, can this expand all over the world. This can burn all fallen nature like fire, eliminate the corruption with which Satan dominates and governs his Kingdom. My Kingdom is a Kingdom of sincerity, purity, forgiveness, justice, love and harmony. These are my expectations for the coming Foundation Day. This day, should be a new beginning for all of you. Look deeply inside yourselves, find your weak points and determine to change yourselves. In this way, you can make Foundation Day the most victorious day of your lives and the basis to reach the goals of 2020. Your Father and King of the Cheon Il Guk.

Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lineage is the Spiritual Lineage (10.02.2015)

Dear Son Hyung Jin The way you are going now is not the best way to solve problems. You are frustrated and I am too. It is true that some Korean leaders did and still are making many mistakes. Do you think that the people you trust are without fallen nature? Dear son, you also didn't help me. Where were you when your mother needed you? Perhaps, with your help, the situation would not have come to this point. Ask your conscience if you have difficulty to listen to my words. I want to make clear something very important to me. There is big fighting in your family about who has the right to be the chief of the Cheon Il Guk. I cannot understand it. This has no meaning. All the Unificationists are working for the Kingdom of God. I'm your God. This is my Kingdom. I'm the King of Kings. I never said that this Kingdom is the private possession of the Moon Family. You can only be my representative if I want it. And the qualification to be my representative is not the physical, but the spiritual blood lineage. I'm grateful to your parents. They did a good job. Thanks to them we can have the beginning of a substantial Kingdom. You can become my representative when you become one with me, when you love the 7 billion of my children as I love them. I entrusted so much to you, but you started to support the manufacture of weapons. Is that the love of a True Parent? My representatives must be the Parents of all Mankind. They must love the most difficult ones. I want everybody in my Kingdom. As long as one of my children is out of my Kingdom, I cannot be happy. You must respect your parents. How can you guide the realm of the CIG that is based on true love, when you are not even able to live the 10 Commandments? (5th Honour your Father and your Mother). There is still a way to repair it, and perhaps to become my representative. Stop complaining. Be humble. Go to your mother and work with her to solve as best as possible the actual difficult situation. 24

Becoming one with God

I'm trying to contact some of the Korean Leaders personally in order to stop their fallen traditions. You will see. If we can work together, we will be victorious and I can give my great Blessing upon all my children. You will become my partner in this difficult mission. This is your chance. Don't miss it! With love Your Father and King of Cheon Il Guk

The Language of God (17.02.2015)

Dear beloved Children I love each one of you so much. I'm communicating already with you every day. Sometimes you are not conscious of it. Where do all your good inspirations come from? How many times do you say something and you don't know why you said it? This is the basis of communication. You have learned the physical language in order to express yourselves and communicate with your surroundings. This is very important for the development of the human being. All living beings have their own way to express themselves. They understand each other very well. I cannot express myself in your language, because I'm a spiritual being. I don't need your alphabet. I have a faster way to express myself. This is the spiritual way. As I said in other conversations with you, you are spiritually like children. The more you grow spiritually, the more I can communicate with you. I have to adapt myself to your level. Please grow spiritually. Come to my school. My best students are not those who have the best education. My school is for everybody. The best are the people who want and have a great desire to know me, the people who are humble. They are the people whose hearts are looking for righteousness, the people who are honest. They are the ones who are looking for a better society, the ones who are looking for my Kingdom. Scientists are people who have good knowledge but also have so much desire to learn, that I cannot resist giving them some of my creative thoughts. They didn't make discoveries because of their logic, but of their intuitions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too bad that they misused what came from me and used it for their own purposes following their fallen nature. Coming back to the spiritual language I cannot speak to everybody in the same manner. I gave humankind all kind of good scriptures to guide and educate them, to help them grow and learn the spiritual language. The final purpose of the Holy Scriptures is not to make a museum where my knowledge can be eaten by some mice, but to prepare my children to enter my school and learn my language. Then I can share with them all my secrets: how I created this beautiful universe, how to cure diseases in natural ways, where to look for clean energy and how to use it. How can you restore this planet and make it as you and I are dreaming of. Sorry I was dreaming again. We must get back to the three Blessings. Do you remember the first blessing? Become one with God. Who is God? God is me. If you can really become in my image and live in my love, you will certainly succeed in the second and third blessing and all the gender problems will be solved consequently. Your Father God

King of Kings (19.02.2015)

I'm so happy today. Thank you everybody who are here. This day is very important for me. True Parents offered me this day. I became owner at least of this day. They crowned me as King of kings. I could start the Cheon Il Guk that now became the substantial Cheon Il Guk. This world that was been taken by Lucifer, is gradually coming back to me. There is still a lot of influence from the satanic world and your fallen nature, but I promise you that this will return to the Heavenly Kingdom that I dreamed of when I was creating this planet. With the coming of True Parents, the dream of a beautiful world can become a reality. You are my partners. Without you I cannot accomplish this. Purify yourself. Take away all your negative thoughts. Love your neighbours and your enemies as I love them. I will share with you my joy, my worries and my future dreams. I would love if this community would become a model Community. I trust you. Enjoy this day. Your Heavenly Parent

Dream (21.02.2015)

I was somewhere. There were many members around and I was with True Parents family. True Father was also there. Then I went to do activities that I also don't remember. Somebody came to me saying that True Father was looking for me. I was surprised to hear that, dressed myself with my best suit and went to meet Father. I entered a big room, so long that I could not see the end of it. On my right, it was empty and used only for walking. On my left side, True Father was sitting on a red sofa on a red carpet with some people. Next True Father were several banquet tables. Many people were sitting around the tables, all young people between twenty and thirty years. Even I was young. True Father, however, was around 40 years. He had a crown on his head. When I entered, those who were close to the Father, moved away and some of them wondered, "Who is Salvatore?". I felt embarrassed, but I bowed down to the ground where there was the red carpet, and then Father helped me to get up, sat me down next to him, just to his right and began to talk to me and it lasted for a long time. I awoke. I do not remember a word of what he said.

Appreciate all Religions (23.02.2015)

Dear son, You have to bring my message to your brothers of the Family Federation for World peace and Unification. All of you have good motivation and teach many people the Divine Principle. Yes, do it! Why do you have so little result? So few people joined the Unification Family in Europe in past years. You have wrong concepts. You think that joining this Family depends on your ability to teach the Divine Principle. This is wrong. It depends on how much you love them, on how much you are ready to listen to them: to their stories, to their tragedies, to their effort to be good people. They are looking for true parents, true brothers and sisters, true friends. They are looking for people who appreciate them for what they are doing for the society. Finally they are looking for true love. My children! You are my channels of love. Don't be so proud just because you know Divine Principle. This is not your merit. I moved your heart and I want to move the heart of many of my children that are still so far away from me. Appreciate other religions. The dispensation developed thanks to the sacrifice of so many other religious people. They made the foundation for the coming of True Parents. Many don't appreciate enough what Mother Mary did. How many of you could do better than her? If you were in the same situation as Mary, how would you, as Unification women, cope with being misunderstood, criticized or seen as disloyal to your husbands? Would you not be grateful to your husband for saving your life and the life of your child? How many people could find their Christian faith again without Mother Mary and the saints? Thanks to their faith, my providence could progress and finally lay the foundation for True Parents. I hope you can understand that confrontation with other ideologies doesn't bring unity and peace in this world. Love and comprehension is the base to win the heart of the people and make my Cheon Il Guk the place where everyone is respected and treated as my child. Your Father.

Era of the Fourth Adam (18.05.2015)

I'm watching with anxiety how the messages that I gave for the FFWPU are progressing. I see with great joy that many of you are accepting my messages with an open heart. I see already much progress in the Community of ZĂźrich. I have much hope. Continue in this way and you and the FFWPU can have a real revival. Don't worry about all the negativity that is spreading in the midst of you. This world belongs to Satan and I can start my world only with people of great faith. People who can go beyond the faith of the Israeli people. People who can go beyond the faith of the Christian people. People who can separate completely from Satan. People who are really true citizens of Cheon Il Guk. I like to test you to see how much can I trust you. You have much admiration for True Parents, but it is better to live as they lived. To be persevering as True Father persevered. To overcome all your daily suffering as he overcame without complaining and instead he consoled me. How did he become perfect? How did he become one with me? How could I teach him all the secrets contained in the Principle? His deep desire and his determination to solve the main problems of humanity moved my heart and through his connection with me, he could know my secrets. Who among you could bear so many problems from their own family? Now is the Substantial Cheon Il Guk. You are the pioneer. You are paving the way for the future generations. Now I want to remind you about this time, not only you, but every one of the FFWPU. How much do you believe in the Principle? When I say the Principle, I mean specially the three Blessings. I hear you teaching the three Blessings every day in all kinds of seminars, workshops, UPF Conferences, etc. but who of you teachers believe that you can really fulfil the first Blessing? Who of you think that it is possible to come into my direct dominion? Who of you believe that you can become one with me? Who of you believe that I can speak directly with you as I did with Jesus and Rev. Moon? Why do some members wonder if they can hear my voice, as Rev. Moon and Jesus did? Do you think that when I speak with you I will repeat exactly what My Son Rev Moon has written? You are already doing Hoon Dok Hae every day. You are in the age of the fourth Adam. You are already in the age of the substantial Cheon IL Guk. I want you to remember what is in the Divine Principle Introduction. I had to reveal myself according to the level of the Dispensation. With Abraham â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I carried out the Dispensation through Offering of Sacrifices 30

Becoming one with God

With Moses – it was through the Law With Jesus – it was through the Gospel With True Parents – it was through New Expression of the Truth - the Divine Principle With the Fourth Adam? Every one of you has to become the fourth Adam who has received the Blessing and become a True Man and Woman as Jesus and True Parents did. If you don't believe that you can fulfill the first Blessing and that you can become the fourth Adam, the Cheon Il Guk can remain only the dream of Jesus, the dream of the True Parents and the dream of so many people of the past, who put all their hopes in the returning Lord and my dream when I created Adam and Eve. I have much to say about this new era…the Era of the fourth Adam. It is up to you. Change your concepts. Be humble and let me work also through each one of you. God

Second Generation (02.07.2016)

Dear Unificationists. You worry very much about the future of your children. You worry very much why they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend your religious meetings. You educated them for many years and now you are disappointed because they don't attend your services. They are born without original sin like Adam and Eve. As Adam and Eve, they need education. It is not enough to be born pure. They must grow spiritually, going beyond the fall, becoming one with me and finally finding a spouse. This is the responsibility of every human being born without original sin. There is no exception. They need a model. We are the model. Our life is the model. We must change together with them. Nobody can replace us. Only together can we become one ideal family. Such a family is the base of the Cheon Il Guk. You second generation, where are you? Why are you hiding yourselves like Adam and Eve? Why are you not coming to Me? You often criticise the first generation. Are you perhaps better? Show what you can do. You are still young. You have so much potential. You can reach what your parents couldn't. Please come to Me. Together we can make a better world; the world that you are looking for. This is our time. Don't miss this chance. You first generation must change. You, who after so many years of education still cannot forgive your brothers and sisters for small mistakes. You, who after so many years are still fighting with your partner. How can you pretend that your children follow you, if after so many years you didn't become true citizens of the substantial Cheon Il Guk? Some Unification leaders cannot even accept their members, because they think in a different way. I, your God, am the standard of the Cheon Il Guk, not you. You still need religion. Only in the true Cheon Il Guk there is no need for religion because you will already be with Me. You will not need to pray every day, because we will be one and we will discuss with each other how we can solve together the main problems of this planet. Religion is only the way to bring you back and prepare the people to receive the Blessing. Don't give up. Jump into my arms. My arms are open. Please do it. I'm waiting for you. Your Father God

Free Will and Responsibility (15.11.2016)

Beloved Children I love so much you. The time has come to speak openly with you. Many times, in the past I said: “The Truth shall make you free”. Who of you feels that you are free? You know the Universal Principle, but you are not yet free. Why? Because you are not yet one with me. Only if you are one with me, you can completely understand my view point. Only through me can you overcome the first fallen nature. Do you remember which is it? “Leaving my view point”. Only if you become one with me, can you clearly know my view point, because my mind and your mind will become one. My feeling and your feeling will become one. My heart and your heart will become one. And you can see as I see. When Adam and Eve thought that their eyes could be open, in reality they closed their eyes to me, to the Truth. And they became spiritually blind. After the Fall, I tried to help them: to take responsibility for their actions, but they didn’t understand my heart. “Adam! why did you eat of the fruit? Eve gave it to me”. "Eve! Why did you eat the fruit? Lucifer gave it to me”. "Lucifer, did you give the fruit to my children? Yes, I did”. Adam delegated his responsibility to Eve and Eve to Lucifer. Lucifer took responsibility for the Fall and he became the owner. Therefore, Lucifer became the owner and the king of this world. Dear Children. I’m waiting for you. You know what to do. Do not continue to delegate your responsibility to others. Take your life in your own hands. Become True Parents. Become the Fourth Adam. Take responsibility for the world as did my sons Jesus and Sun Myung Moon. They were not Supermen. They reached the position of True Parents by striving inch by inch and day by day. The Blessing does not save you. The Blessing opens the way to become saved. You must be victorious in your salvation day by day. And then you can become the saviour of your tribe, the saviour of your nation and the saviour of this World. And then this world will become one. One in peace. One in love and finally…. One Family with me.

Love Your Neighbor (05.12.2016)

Dear Children, I’m becoming more worried day by day about your fighting against each other because of different ideologies. I didn’t create you to fight. I created you to love. To love each other as I love you. Every day I see churches still competing and fighting to demonstrate who is the best and the only one who has true Truth. Why are your minds still so closed? Who told you that you are the best? I never did. I’m the only Truth. I never changed because I’m eternal, absolute and unchanging. There is no new Truth. The Truth is eternal, unchanging and absolute. The expression of the Truth is changing according to the culture and understanding of the people with whom I try to communicate. For a long time, I always tried to reveal myself to you, but I found very few people ready to open their minds: to start to see things from my viewpoint. I didn’t mean that only the Messiahs and prophets had to understand me. There should be no exception. They did and are doing their best to tell you my truth, but I don’t like to have only a few people who can understand me. I want everybody, because you all are my children. Everybody is born to become like me, in my image. Everybody must fulfil the purpose of their life. I’m ready to help you to become my temple. The problem is you, yourselves, because you still don’t believe it. You are blocking your own growth. Remember what Jesus said: “Where 2 or 3 are together in my name, I’m there”. You are like a magnet. The stronger your magnet of love is, the stronger I’m attracted to you. The more people gather together in my name, the more I’m attracted to you. The power of love is stronger than me. My true essence is love and I cannot resist such a power of love emanating from you. I cannot do something different. Can you only imagine when all religions unite and there will be no more struggles with each other? That is my Kingdom. That is my dwelling place. There I can finally rest and enjoy my Sabbath. When you are fighting in the name of your religion or traditions and you have resentment or even antipathy toward somebody whom you don’t like, I run away. I cannot bear such an attitude. Many of you are so aggressive against others thinking you’re defending my truth. You are just defending your insecurity and your frustration. You think you are my representative, but you are representing only your pride. You think you can decide who is good or not, but you are on a false path, even though you were given the mission to guide the community. Please change your concepts, otherwise you will be the last one in the Heavenly Kingdom and the people you thought are wrong will judge you in front of me and your conscience. I want to finish this with the desire that you already know: Come into my arms. The more you are, the more I will be happy. See you. Your loving Father.

Becoming one with God

Conclusion When I met the Divine Principle, and understood that my purpose of life was to become the image of God through realizing the three Blessings: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be fruitful, multiply and have dominionâ&#x20AC;?, I was full enthusiasm and I was expecting to fulfil it during few years. However little by little, going through different situations and some difficult moments, I somehow lost the large vision and the way became the ultimate goal. I forgot that I joined the FFWPU in order become one with God. The temple of God. The image of God. In such a situation, I sometimes asked myself what was the meaning of working for this organization. I started to doubt about many things. At the same time, I wanted to demonstrate to God that when I promise something, I would try to fulfil such a promise to the end. Because I was concerned particularly about peace, I thought about dedicating the last years of my life to bring peace. Where to start? This was important for me. I asked God to let me know what to do. I was really desperate waiting for his answer. He answered telling me that my first mission is to become a person in His own image. To become His temple. To become one with him. To become like Jesus. To become like the True Parents. To start to forgive and love my enemies as God loves them. That He is not looking at which religion or political party the people belong to, but at their heart. We are all His children and He loves each one of us in a special way. And in the end God asked me to tell that there are no special people. Everybody is special because each one of us is a beloved child. Now is the time for God to communicate directly and personally with each one of us without a mediator. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss this occasion and you will have the most incredible and unforgettable experience like I had and still have.

Glossary The Blessing Holy Matrimony, God giving the blessing of marriage to his sons and daughters and forgiving/ removing their original sin. Cheon Il Guk Korean expression for “nation of cosmic peace and unity”. It’s the nation of God’s love, the kingdom of heaven on earth. Divine Principle Also called the “Principle”. Theological teaching of the founder of the Unification Movement, Sun Myung Moon. It is based on revelations received by the Founder Sun Myung Moon and was systematized and written down by early disciples. The root of this teaching is Christianity. It has new insights about the nature of God, the purpose of life, man’s departure from God, the mission of the Messiah, about human history and God’s struggle to restore mankind, etc. Era of the Fourth Adam The conclusion of the age of restoration, when God and Adam can take rest. The time when God’s purpose of creation comes to fruition. Father Moon proclaimed this age in 1999, stating that it is time for blessed couples to represent True Parents. Hoon Dok Hae Daily reading of holy scripture, literally gathering for reading and learning words. Perfection Stage According to the Principle there are three stages of growth. After the third stage, comes the Perfection stage in which people spiritually enter the “direct dominion of God” in which they are one with God and able to feel and communicate directly with Him. FFWPU (Family Federation for World Peace and Unification) An organization founded by Sun Myung Moon. Having originally founded the Unification Church, Sun Myung Moon officially abolished this organization in 1996 and founded the Family Federation. Father Moon never intended to found a new religion. The Family Federation is the main legal body of the Unification Movement since then and is mainly dealing with issues that strengthen the traditional family, a very important building block towards establishing an ideal nation and an ideal world. Spiritual World The world our spirit self lives in. According to Sun Myung Moon, the spiritual world is just as real as the physical, visible world. It is like our spirit, beyond time and space. The spiritual world is the place our spirit goes to live after departure from the physical world. Sun Myung Moon Born in Korea, in 1920. When he was 15 years old, on Easter Sunday, Jesus appeared to him and asked him to fulfil the mission he could not complete during his lifetime. Rev. Moon then started his spiritual quest for the truth and the purpose of 36

life. In 1960 he received the Blessing with Hak Ja Han, thus becoming the True Parents of mankind. Despite much opposition and despite having to serve 6 prison terms, Father Moon triumphed over all difficulties and created the vast Unification Movement, having global impact that influences the course of human history in the direction of eventually creating the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven. Three Stages of Growth Growing period every being goes through before reaching perfection. Formation ⇒ Growth ⇒ Completion. (e.g. apple seed, growing tree, maturing tree bearing fruit). People go through these stages physically and spiritually. Child ⇒ Adolescent ⇒ Adult. Three Blessings God’s purpose of creation and man’s purpose of life are fulfilled through the three Blessings: To be fruitful (individual perfection), multiply (family perfection) and have dominion (love all things as God loves them). True Parents The first human parents, Adam and Eve, failed to become the True Parents of mankind and multiplied the fallen lineage instead. Jesus became the spiritual True Parent, giving spiritual rebirth through the Holy Spirit to believers. In order for salvation to become complete and manifest itself physically on Earth, we need to be reborn physically and spiritually through True Parents. UPF (Universal Peace Federation) International and interreligious network of individuals and organizations, dedicated to achieving world peace. NGO with special consultative status to the United Nations, dedicated to interfaith peacebuilding, peace education, and the strengthening of marriage and family. Unification Church Established by Father Moon in 1954 as the “Holy Spirit Association for the Unification World Christianity” and named in short the Unification Church. Father Moon’s original mission was not to create a new religion but to unite world Christianity.
