Foci of Maturity — Giving All

Foci  of  Maturity





Giving  All

As all of you are probably conscious of, the world is increasingly, step-by-step, entering cycles of greater pressure. Also, as individuals some of you, plus many more, are feeling intensified pressure. Likely, you also know that the coronavirus situation is escalating rapidly around the world, breaking records in many places, daily. An example of this is in France: a one-month complete lockdown was announced to begin today. Consequently, yesterday there were countless cars trying to leave Paris, creating 700 kilometers of gridlock. The United States also broke some records. Yesterday it recorded the highest number of new Covid cases for one day: 100,000. Korea recorded 100 cases.

Most of you may be aware, also, that Tuesday is Election Day in the United States, and there is tremendous pressure building because of it. This Presidential election in the United States is probably an election with the greatest tension in U.S. history. A poll in the United States indicated that just under fifty per cent of people were feeling “very angry” or “enraged,” for different reasons. The extent of depression and symptoms of mental illness and sleeplessness has grown tremendously as well. In the midst of all this, the United States also broke a different record: the highest annual sale of guns in its history, particularly the highest was for handguns. Regardless of which way this election goes, the United States will experience a tremendous turmoil.


At the individual level among the people who are close to us, I am aware of quite a number of people who are experiencing a situation of maximum pressure. At the same time various individuals are experiencing a breakthrough to clarity and maturity. So, I want to touch on what is needed from us, as well as many more, to guide what is a time of the greatest pressure towards a time of breakthrough and growth. Such circumstances of greatest pressure can bring breakthrough and growth on the one hand, but without the right ingredients it can sometimes just bring breakdown and destructiveness.


Breakdowns and destructiveness can also lead, in the long run, to rebirth and breakthrough, so we do need to have that in mind, too. In the Kakao social media room for the Art of Living School, there were several writings that came up in this past week that were about new breakthroughs—through our time travel process for several people, and also the experience of accepting the circumstance of greatest pressure as an opportunity for victory.


So, what is the central ingredient that allows maximum pressure to lead to breakthrough rather than mere breakdown? In circumstances of mounting pressure, the presence of an awake, conscious center and an orientation point of maturity will have a decisive effect on which way things will tend to go. A great deal hangs on the presence and availability of representatives of true maturity and a true point of orientation.


The point of orientation of true maturity is also a representation of Highest Love present in form through human beings. As maturity is present and as the representation of Highest Love is present, there is a balanced perspective, wisdom and an enfolding presence as people go through substantial transformation.


So, who are such individuals, such representatives of Highest Love and maturity? We could say that they are angels transparently expressing through human form. And then the question arises, how did such individuals of highest maturity and representation of Highest Love become that way? Such individuals have become that way―true representatives of Highest Love―through having given themselves wholly and with all to Highest Love.


I want to go into a little bit of what it means to give one’s all to something. When we think of those who have given their all, sometimes mothers come to mind. Also, giving one’s all to something sometimes correlates with sacrifice in people’s consciousness. We may think that in giving one’s all, in sacrificing oneself, one becomes empty and poor. Sometimes mothers who give their all to their children experience, at some point, that they feel rather empty, and that their children don’t always, or deeply, appreciate them.





When we give our all—not necessarily to people, including family and children, etc—but to Highest Love, it’s quite different. When we give our all to Highest Love, we are filled with that love. That is why it’s different. It is not a sacrifice but a fulfillment. When we give our all to Highest Love, we are filled with that love, and in the process of being filled with that love we, step-by-step, become that love. And we experience, gradually, that we in fact are that love. But until we give our all for Highest Love, we don’t get to know that we in fact were already that love in the first place. We discover it when we have done it.


Giving one’s all is also, in fact, giving over or away something not so precious. In fact, it’s actually giving away, or giving over, one’s self-centered, small self, and when we are truly honest about it, it’s actually giving over or away the pain of our small self. Such a great loss! Through giving away one’s self-centered self, we discover and enter into one’s whole, holy Self.


The giving of one’s all in the true direction, instead of sacrifice, is fulfillment and achievement. It’s the achievement of one’s True Self. It’s arriving at the angel that we are. Through releasing one’s self, we become Highest Love, and Highest Love, we discover, is who we are. It flows through our human capacities unimpeded because there is no longer present the small me wanting this or that.


What humanity needs most in this experience of greatest pressure—pressure that continues to mount—are precisely such individuals who are no longer caught up in self. By having surrendered the little self these individuals are present, aware of the larger rhythm of things—including the human rhythm and the heavenly rhythm of things—and particularly can represent the direction of that heavenly rhythm in the midst of all the pressures that mount.


This is the presence of God in action on earth through human form, specifically as God’ angels acting transparently through human form. Without such individuals there is no true direction or wisdom in the midst of mounting pressure. The presence of such individuals will play a decisive role in whether world pressures lead to rebirth or to painful destruction that is prolonged.


Some time ago in giving thought to angels and warriors, I wrote something that I want to share with you. The heart and mind of the True Warrior at its deepest is its aligning in the Light―we could say, in the Lord. Also, thinking about angels or Beings of Light, they share the same heart as a True Warrior: aligning in the Light, in the Lord. These words represent, perhaps, the vow of the Warrior Angel. This writing is not fully finished, but I wanted to share something of the essence of it.


The vow made to our Lord, I bring to flower with my all.

Glory-filled is the path restoring the Light. Death too, I fear not.

Serving the Lord in the way of victory, I give this one body, one heart, 

for beloved humanity I give.

If this heart of today were to stop, again I shall rise and be victorious.

This oath to our Lord, with one heart and mind I fulfill.

For the return of the Light, I give all that I am.

For my Lord and beloved humanity, I give all.


This is the vow of all the angels working, loving, being, expressing on earth—those who, through their love of humanity, have given their all, and through that have become Love itself. Because these individuals are present throughout different places in humanity, there is a point of orientation and a vibrational, immovable core in the heart of humanity.


Until each of us gives our all for Highest Love in this way and are consummated in that love, we have only been preparing, preparing to become ourselves, preparing to be our full, mature selves.





Recently Jae Hyoung Lee spoke in a service that a grace period of preparation time is over. In this time of highest and increasing pressure, those who can come to the release of self and into fullest Self, to maturity, are being summoned. It’s time, even if in our personal lives there is yet this pain, that suffering, this immaturity, or that barrier, we give our all—not because we don’t have such limitations, but in spite of them, and we give them over.


For the return of the Light, for my Lord and beloved humanity, I give my all.


This giving of all, and thus maturity, is not something special. This is what man and woman were always meant to be: Beings who in giving all to Love become Love itself, Light itself. Such is True Humanity.


Throughout history, because such individuals of surrendered maturity were present, humanity has been able to come to this point of opportunity of transformation today. Giving one’s all for Highest Love, instead of being a sacrifice, is the fullest achievement of who we are. It is becoming the Love that we are, becoming the Lord in expression through human form that we are.


If some of us have held back something in giving all to Highest Love, why don’t we complete that process, fully giving our all? Half-giving is in truth, a painful state. Neither beast nor angel. Let us give and become the Love that we are which, in this time of the highest pressure on earth, is the decisive force for the transformation of humanity.

What a blessed day this! Yujin speaks of our present moment in the clearest, everyday language -- as if to say 'Here we are, Lord'. I am deeply proud to offer up my warrior soul in heart and mind -- notwithstanding shortcomings of the body. Thank you. Robert

I want to share my experience with Yujin's service which carries a distinct life that is proliferating, growing and continuing to go forth into the open heart of mankind. For example, yesterday I used it as a focus for radiation into the world pattern. It was most useful, most powerful. It fills and creates sacred space. This is atomic power going forth. 
I want to acknowledge the significance of spiritual expression that specifically speaks with love for the Lord's home here on earth. We, men and women, live and share his being on earth. Such expression is a call that goes out on a current of love and is a voice that nourishes weariness and fills a great hunger. Great gratitude returns to that One, who has spoken through Yujin, in the one spirit of many hearts and minds, centered in the truth of love.
