Sunday, December 8, 2019 Joyville, Jeju Island, South Korea
About two thirds of this Sunday morning service from Joyville on Jeju Island, South Korea was spoken in Korean by our friend Jae Hyoung Lee, and he spoke about one third of the words in English, which I was able to transcribe. In order to get a feel for the fine spirit that is moving through Jae Hyoung and the assembled angels, it is worth watching and listening to the edited YouTube video which is attached at the bottom of the page, including the responses in Korean which provide an opportunity to move in radiation beyond the seeming language barriers. Thank you to Jae Hyoung and thank you to all angels in Korea. db
Jae Hyoung Lee — I’d like to share some parts
of Martin’s service from August 15, 1982. The reason why I shared these stories was that I would
like to introduce several viewpoints for us. The first one
is: What is the situation on this planet earth and what is our responsibility?
Another one is two different stories in Buddhism: One (Shinsoo’s point) is that
we are the ones who need to pursue the awakening, dusting off and cleaning our self continually—and the other
one (HaeNeung’s point) is that we are already the awakened One. The reason why I’d
like to introduce this Martin service, Being the Fire, is to know how Martin saw himself, and
what message he wanted to deliver to us on how we see our identity. Martin said:
“I am the fire; that is my character. I am the fire that burns eternally. I am
the light that glows eternally in consequence. I am the cloud of glory, which
gives evidence of the light that glows and the fire that burns. Therefore in
that experience the former things of pain and sorrow and crying are no longer
present. Death is no longer present. Death is simply the absence of life. In
truth, life is never absent.”
It is quite a different story!
“I know, in your experience as
human beings, thus far you have known pain, sorrow, trouble, discomfort, and
you have been aware of what is called death. What is it, then, that suffers
these things? It certainly isn't you, the angel of life.”
Who is it that suffer these things,
pain, sorrow, trouble, discomfort? It certainly is not you, you are the angel
of life.
We need to see ourselves from a
very different perspective. We are not the one who is trying to find somewhere,
something, the real us, somewhere else. In Buddhism they say that awakening
happens all at once—but Shinsoo’s point is different from it; you need to
pursue the goal. We are not the one who gradually know something. if we try to
know something of ourselves gradually, there is no end. When we awaken, then
all the cells of our body start to change. Of course it needs time to change
all the cells.
Once you change the direction of
your response, then your perspective, your value system, your
attention—everything changes! If you change once then you cannot go back to the
past. I experienced some things in the past, long ago, when I met this Emissary
for the first time. There were lots of subjects that I was interested in at
that time, and I read lots of books, many different kinds of books. At that
time I dropped by the bookstores every month and tried to find new books that
interested me. After meeting the Emissaries, at that time, I found myself. I
couldn’t read any other books—one or two pages only. I was a very curious,
intelligent person but I found that my appetite in that direction completely
disappeared. At that time I was interested in many subjects; international politics,
and the theology of Christianity—and also I was interested in Japan, so I
collected all the books translated into Korean about Japan: history, politics
and economics. I read more that 30 books about Japan, because I thought we
needed to know Japan to overcome her as Korean. But such kind of interest
disappeared completely. And it passed, more than thirty years after that, up to
now, and the direction of my attention has not changed.
I am the fire. I am the fire that
burns eternally. The only interest for me is to awaken the people to the fact
that they themselves are the fire eternally burning. All the spiritual
teachers, the one thing they wanted to deliver us, the one truth, is that. The great
Buddhist teacher I mentioned (HaeNeung) and his prominent successors wanted to
deliver us that. And also in Christianity—Jesus tried to teach us, awaken us. It
can not be experienced by learning only.
What is the characteristic of the one who is in that place? It is one’s orientation to heaven. Another characteristic
is response to the right things, response to the best things I know, response
to what is higher than myself, response to the highest in me—trust in heaven,
and to know that there is nothing to fight with. And to understand, and
acknowledge that I of myself am not enough and complete; and know that I need
to have a line of agreement with other angels, to create together. There is no
other mission than to awaken the others to the truth that they are the fire
themselves, an angel of heaven, and so create a line of agreement together, to
act, to have the means of the Creator on the earth to create. There is nothing
else to do except being the channel for the Creator.
When I relate to the others, I
only see the angel in that person. Of course I know that there are many other
identities in the person, but if that angel does not come out to greet me I
wait until the angel comes. The reason why this is possible is because I know
that I am the fire, and I am the angel. The only way to relate to each other is
as the angel and as the fire.
Two weeks ago Yujin Pak talked about
the processes of growing through Maslow’s design, his hierarchy of needs. Of
course, we know that we need to pass through the kind of processes that Yujin
mentioned, but eventually we should know that the true identity of ourselves is
the angel, characterized by the burning fire of love—that is each of us, and
that is the only way of relationship between each of us. That only is
important, and that only is what we need to remember all the time. We need to
know that our true identity is the angel and the true identity of any others is
the angel too. We should not forget that!
Of course there are lots of
problems in the human world and in the planet earth, but the only answer for
that is to come back to the original truth of our identity—that is the angel of
God, the angel of love. There are no other ways to change the situation. There
are many political ways, economic ways, or social ways, or other ways, but
these are only transitional.
When we come back to the right
position of ourselves, there comes new direction, new wisdom flowing through
us, and a new way of living will open to us. Currently we don’t know, but when
we come back to the right place of our true identity together, then that new
door will open for us. I will close my words here.
Duk Hee Kang — It is time for responding, so those on Skype line please respond first.
David Barnes — This is David speaking, from Salmon Arm, in British Columbia, Canada, and I want to speak about the line of agreement that is present between us here and you where you are—this is angelic agreement that we share on this line. We could call it an arc of agreement—a great arc of light and fire that connects you where you are and me where I am, and that connects all angels together along these arcs of fire, which are love, which is oneness. And so today you have brought us a very beautiful and important message from On High, and my heart sings in gladness with yours for what it is that we know and share together angel-to-angel. And we continue this angelic agreement, doing in this creative work together. Thank you Jae Hyoung.
Many commentson the Skype teleconference line, and from those present in the room.

Jae Hyoung Lee — Kamsahamnida. Thank you to all who are connected with us. In fact we are connected with the One who knows everything from the past, present and future—we are already connected with that Source. As we are controlled by what we perceive through our five senses it seems that we are disconnected from that Source; but in fact each of us is already connected with that. To know, to connect with that Source, all together, we need to be in one accord in one place first. When we are together as a body of angels, then we can be connected with the Source, so that wisdom and a new direction will be unfolding before us, to bring ourself to the Mission—at first, to awaken to the truth of myself, and then to set up a line of agreement, to make a body in agreement so that the Source can be revealed through that body. I think I have said what I would really like to speak today. Thank you and good bye.
