Finish The Work

David Barnes — I want to take a moment, following Steve's welcome and the greeting of one another that we just shared, to say personally speaking what a great joy it is to welcome everybody today; and particularly for those of us in the West to be welcoming those of you in the East, and share in the sense of significance of this opportunity for blending that is occurring at this time, today, and in this particular cycle that we're in. I don't think we can underestimate the significance of the ninety minutes that we'll share together; or of this period of sharing in a very significant cycle in the experience of humanity on the planet. It is my joy to welcome particularly Yujin, to speak with us tonight. And I want to read something from the Book of Ezekiel which I think has relevance to this moment. This is a vision that Ezekiel was having, and this is what it says:
“Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. And it was according to the appearance of the vision... And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house… This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.”
The Law of the House—the House of Communion, the House of Belonging that we have the opportunity to share together, being in the vibrational Temple of Light—the House of Communion, which is the House of the LORD. And here we have Yujin in the East, with all of you friends, and me speaking from the West with all of us as friends, geographically exemplifying a solid foundation stretched upon the earth, across this geographical distance. And the glory of the LORD, we see, is that apex point that connects above, and gives meaning to our gathering East and West, with the line stretched upon the earth and the apex in the heaven that we know and love. So we have a very real, living symbol of the opportunity to allow the outpouring of the glory and the meaning that has drawn us together with a promise of fulfillment, sweet spiritual intimacy; and the provision of guidance for all those in the world whose hearts are open to the radiation that pours forth from this gathering which is oriented in the Lord of Hosts. And so Yujin, from your point and place in the House of Communion we welcome you. Our hearts and our ears are open to hear what you would bring. Over to you, my friend.
Yujin Pak — Thank you David, for that beautiful introduction. It's so good to be with all of you. I guess there are 15 of us from Korea. It's wonderful to have this bridge. This happened one once already, when Jae Hyoung and Duk Hee spoke a while back. [templeoflightservices.blogspot.com/2022/08/in-motherland-mystery-of-god-is.html] This is our second time, and it's my wish that at some point in the future that we might do this with Korean and English together, so that in fact we can actually share and fuse together more deeply. But for now just English, and a number of our Korean friends understand English; some of them don't, but they keenly wanted to be a part of this time. They really wanted to meet you.
By the way, they have heard lots about you, and have such respect for you and love for you; and are aware of the years and decades of spiritual expression that you have offered into the world; and they have deep respect for you for that, and feel you as their elders, perhaps largely unknown to you, so far at least. But here we/they are! They're part of a group of about 24 of us that meet every two weeks, that have done a number of classes, that have passionately been moving with the Word, and have increasingly risen to offer leadership. About ten of them are faculty for our seminars here in Korea. So, wonderful to be together in this way.
I've been following the Temple of Light services closely over the past two years and feel what's been powerfully building, and I want to add my part to that in this time. I so appreciated the service shared last month by Suzanne; and by Terry, Carol, and Milly the month before. [templeoflightservices.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-sweet-influences-of-pleiades-terry.html] This last service I felt such spirit, passion, mirth that was spoken of, and the electric current of spirit throughout the time. Similarly, I was thrilled to be with Terry, Carol and Milly—so thrilled. I so appreciate what is building, and I want to offer my part into it.
I want to begin by reading the words of Martin that Suzanne read in her presentation: “When the sons and daughters of God are incarnate and in expression… the world is transmuted and returned to the hand of God. God assumes responsibility and control directly in that world, because of his sons and daughters incarnate and in expression. This is, indeed, glory to God in the highest.” [templeoflightservices.blogspot.com/2022/12/hearts-of-worship-christmas-day-service.html]
Sons and daughters of God, present in expression—glory to God in the highest. This is something of what I felt in that service last month; and perhaps what we are touching in this way is just the beginning of the more to come that one of our numbers commented in the comment time during last month's service, just the beginning of the more to come.
I went to read also the words that Robert Merriman spoke in that comment time, the words of Revelation 15: “And I saw, as it were, a sea of glass mingled with fire, and they that have gotten victory over the beast… and they stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.” Here's perhaps a clear vision expressed of the more that may emerge in these—would we not say, “important and culminating times.” Sons and daughters of God, present and in expression together, standing upon the sea of glass, mingled with fire. What fire? Mingled with the fire of our passion for the LORD, and having the harps of God. What harps? The harps, the message, the radiation that transmutes the world. And who are these sons and daughters of God, present and in expression? Is it not clear that it is us, the truth of us, the reality of us—the reality of us fully burned in the fire of God’s love.
And as my beloved wife Marsha said in that comment period last month, does a little bit of white hair matter? Does that matter to a son of God for daughter of God? And what was the age of Moses when he went through his transmutation on top of the mountain? Ahh, eighty, eighty! Well, we are in good company. Besides, the Hebrew medical care system probably was not as good as ours. We are well set.
So, we are well set to carry on an important work. Our Master said: I have finished the work thou gavest me. I have glorified Thee in the earth. I have finished the work Thou gavest me. I have glorified the in the earth. I suppose that automatically brings the question to us, “Have we finished the work that the LORD has given us?
Have we finished the work? Have we glorified Him fully, sufficiently in the earth? Hmm. Well, perhaps there's something yet, something more for us to fully complete, finish. Wouldn't we be honest to say that's true? Something more yet to finish, complete. That something more is what I want to explore together today.
The words, “Finish the work” have been ringing in the quietness of my heart for a while, like a quiet whisper growing, “Finish the work.” Several weeks ago, while I was lying down quietly I had an experience that was important, that I want to share. And I want to share it because this experience, although it initially felt like a message to me, it became clear it was not to me alone. As I was laying down quietly, I was suddenly flooded with the sound of that whisper inside of me, growing steadily: “Finish the work. Finish the work.” With the words came the vivid presence of Martin. The image of his face flooded my consciousness; and the whisper grew. And as it grew it was as though he was speaking directly and increasingly more intensely, straight into my heart and mind. And as I lay there the throbbing waves of this message flooded me, and it went on for a while. And as this message—which felt like a star transmission, a fiery transmission—as this message continued, it was clear to me that this message was not to me personally, particularly, but a message to the Host Body of Angels incarnate, and in whatever degree of expression on earth. Not just the angels or emissaries who knew Martin in form, but all angels that have come forth to whatever degree on earth: “Finish the work. It's time—finish the work.”
It was clear also that this message was not just from Martin. As the message intensified, I felt behind the presence of Martin, the presence of Uranda, the presence of our Master, joining in transmitting a fused message: Finish the work. And beyond them I felt more presences, like the sound of many, many waters, all our true ancestors, pioneers, prophets. All those individuals, that gave their lives so that humanity might have a chance. Pioneers and prophets of many countries, many nations; but also our close ancestors. I felt Bill Bahan, and how he would say the message, “Finish the work.” I felt Grace, her smile, her passion. I felt Roger, and many more—pioneers of all ages, that totally gave their lives, that humanity might have a chance, and might have a chance now in this day. And I felt all their prayers combined, all their passion combined, fused as one prayer, speaking the words, “Finish, complete, the work which we began. Finish the work. All is aligned, all is set. All is set—what remains is to finish the work.
I suppose in part in my consciousness, my mind gave up a question: How? How finish the work? All of us might have this question arise. The answer that came back was simple. “Decide to finish the work—decide to do it, then the way will be shown.” What would it mean to finish our work? Martin gave a very clear, simple, direct answer to that long ago, in eight words: Hear me! Respect me. Love me. And if you have heard, respected, and loved me: BE ME. Is this not the only way we finish the work? BE ME. Be pure Being. Don't be a part-time angel. Be full-time Being. Be pure Being. Be the presence, the authority of the Lord that needs to be present in these times, especially in these times. Be the inviter, as I was the inviter. That job is yours now. Be the inviter.
Out of the whirlwind of spirit extend the invitation to humanity: “Come! Be with me, be with us. Be one with me.” But don't just enjoy being with me, with us. Rise into the truth of who you are, and then doing so, you be the inviter. Finish the work of transmutation, personally. If there's that which is left personally, finish that work of transmutation, so that all shame, all hesitancy, may be dissolved, so that there may be a superconductive vessel available through which the LORD may act and express. But also be Me together, collectively.
Stand and express together as pure beings—144,000 Lords, pure beings in expression. Oh, that sounds like a lot. How about we start with 24, or whatever numbers. Pure beings, standing in the fire of the LORD. Jesus never succeeded in bringing his disciples to the state. And in a way Uranda didn't either. Martin did partially. If that was partial then, well, what chance is there of us now? I say a lot. We didn't waste these past 30-some years. We went through our tribulations. We have grown. We have grown. And what Martin was inviting, I suggest, more than ever before we are ready to accept his invitation: Be me. Be pure being.
I've pondered the meaning of the absence of Uranda and Martin these past few decades. You probably have too. In this most crucial time, how is it possible that, one might think, they're absent without leave, so to speak—AWOL. They're not here in form. What's the meaning of this? What if the meaning of that is that their presence is meant to fire up through every cell of their collective body; through every cell of our physical body. The meaning might be that we are meant to be the expanded Martin-Uranda, the expanded ME, the expanded LORD—that we are meant to fully take up the mantle of leadership they left behind. And maybe there's something a little more of that left to do, to fully take up the mantle of leadership.
Are we shy? A little hesitant? I look at your faces, and I don't see too much of that. If there is some shyness left, hesitancy left, well, as Bill Bahan might say, “Who is shy? The one I Am is not shy at all.” The one we are is not shy hesitant at all. Be me. Represent the authority of the KING, the invitation of the KING, directly, unhesitatingly, on earth. However, don't go on tangents of arrogant self-inflation. Be me, and coordinate in being pure being together. Doing so together has safety built in. No longer live as just an ordinary human self. Live as a transparent vessel, vehicle, channel, for the direct expression of the Lord. This is the, Be me. We don't need mimic, Martin. We can be our delightedly different, powerful expressions of being, of the Lord. Martin was a little boring in that respect, very British. We don't need to copy that. But be being.
Truly, isn't it time now? Isn't it now time for the apex, the climax of our lives, to burn whatever is left of shyness, hesitation, arrogance, fear, shame. And together be the authority of the Lord, the expression of the Lord. And as I say, it's not just to the emissaries who knew Martin. It is to all those that are awakening, that have partially awakened. Don't just partially awaken. Come forth full. Finish the work of all the ages.
So, I return in a few months to America, to join Marsha. Part of the reason for this return is because of what is clearly stirring all over, of the coming forth of being. There is something more for us to do together. I have provided what I needed to provide for fifteen years here in Korea, and that cycle is partly finished. Because of a larger call that I sense is present throughout the world: Finish the work, come together, be pure being, accept the mantle of responsibility, and do it together.
Just as we close this time, I want to mention the group here in Korea. Passionate response. Leadership. They have heard the Word. They have heard the invitation. They have accepted the invitation. They have accepted increasingly being the inviter. That's why, with some of them that don't under English, they didn't care. They just wanted to be together in the presence of other inviters. Let's make our LORD happy. Let's finish the work together.

Steve Ventola — Part of finishing the work is loving each other, isn't it? And to make sure there's a clear field with each of us; and appreciation for what we provide into the world—to love one another, to let the work be done.
Pamela Gray — Yujin, thank you for your passion, not just passionate words, but the whole being of passion—body, mind, heart, and spirit. Isn't that what is going to get the momentum needed to finish the work that we've all signed up for—passion. I was thinking, as you were speaking about the whispering, about what occurred in the middle of the night here in California. We've had mighty winds, and they happened all through the night. I was awakened many times with the thrashing, all kinds of drama happening. I was thinking of the small voice that starts as a whisper in consciousness and yet it increasingly becomes a mighty whirlwind. It is this whirlwind that we're responsible for, because we stand at the center of the whirlwind. All kinds of things are swirling around, and yet it is the passion of knowing who we are, and standing right in the calm that gets the job done. I am so thrilled to join with everyone; and especially our Korean friends, with your wonderful heart of passion that I felt as each one of you signed in.
Christina Pivarnik — Yujin, thank you so much. I could not be more thrilled and delighted to stand with you to finish the work. I too, think of that often. We are called upon to be magnificent people, in some pretty crazy situations that we find ourselves in. I find that thrilling—to stand strong, to bless all the people that surround me, to love them with a full spirit. Let us all rise up. I praise the Lord with you, with everyone on this call. I am so thrilled to connect with you in that part of the world, and with all those that are gathered. With my deepest appreciation and joy, I love to be here and finish the work with all of you.
Tony Palombo — Yujin, kamsamnida! Thank you. It was so wonderful to be with you and all. Your passion is as compelling as your presence, very radiant, and I send my love to you and join my being with yours. We're one, aren't we? So good to be with you all, my good friends in Korea. Kamsamnida!
Robert Merriman — So wonderful Yujin! Such a critical message at this juncture for humanity on the planet, to be spoken as you spoke it—I speak it with you. There are so many who are not with us on the line who can hear this message now, in their hearts, realizing, as we awaken and awaken others, that there is no thing that can happen in a human life, nothing that can come within the range of my expression that cannot be used to magnify the Lord. I am the superconductor. We each may say this, and we each may be it in every tiny moment. As this is done the light is on and somebody is home, and the whole world wakes up. How wonderful to be with you in this, not just now, but ongoing. Looking forward to your return to North America.
Gary Courtland-Miles — Absolutely. Thank you Yujin. I respect you. I love you. I feel love radiating. I so appreciate what you've done in Korea. It’s a template for what can happen here in North America. You've had such wonderful heart response there, and I think you've worked it all through. And now to come here. I want you to know that I'm with you, we're all with you, and we want to let love continue to instruct us in the Way. We want to let it bring forth something new, something fresh, something that hasn't happened in all this time from way back. This is going to be the adventure. It is now, but I suspect there's more coming. Bless you.
Anne Blaney — Yujin, thank you for what you've opened up here. I want to go back to what you were describing about the various cycles that have happened for the LORD on earth. I'm reading the Bible, and taking quite the journey: seeing what the Master came to do, which was to invite people to understand that the Kingdom is truly at hand, that everlasting life is actually a reality. He wasn't just talking about after you die. He was talking about something that is available for the human, the angel in form on earth, something fabulous. Now, as you were saying, it didn't work out in the way that He wanted, but He finished the work that He was able to do to a certain point. But then He continued the work through His own being as an individual, and He opened total victory that is actually available for every human being. But He did that within himself. And then, moving along, Uranda came—the Comforter, who did a magnificent job of opening up and understanding of the instruction that is present in the Bible, what the Master had left for us, and he expanded it. But not only that, he began to do what the Master could not do, which was to build a Body. The Master had to use His own body. But the point is that the whole body was to be transmuted and experience the Kingdom of heaven at hand. We now see the care that Uranda offered, the instruction that he left us, the detail, the spiritual psychiatry. It's utterly amazing what he left for the Body to be able to grow.
As you said, not a whole lot was developed, manifested, you might say, but so much was laid down in the pneumaplasmic realms and left for us. And then we have Martin. So I want to reiterate that there has been so much prepared for this generation. I do understand that sometimes you get the message down the line a little bit, after the fact. But the Master did say that the first would be like last, and the last would be first. So I think we best use the opportunity that has been given to us, and recognize that the greater works are truly greater—they do relate to transmutation. It is a magnificent invitation. I really appreciate you giving us that panorama—how we are here now at this point together, and what we are being invited to proceed with.
Larry Krantz — Let me follow up with that Yujin. I’ll try not to be shy. I think some of the significance of what we're sharing today, this morning and tonight, is the line being drawn between East and West, as was mentioned at the beginning. What you brought to focus—and I'm sure those with you in the East are of a different vibratory nature than would be natural to people in the West. Clearly there is a fiery heart expressed through what you brought to focus tonight, and it emphasizes to me how we complement each other; how the different vibratory essences all fit together to make a whole. Looking at the different faces and places represented by this group tonight, I'm reminded that the sound of many waters is the sound of many voices. We each have a unique responsibility to bring to focus what only we can bring to focus what is natural to our expression—just as Martin's expression was very different than Uranda's expression. But they complemented each other; they fit together to do the job that needed to be done then. So, it's wonderful to get a glimpse in miniature of the emerging Body, and the responsibility that we each have individually, but also share collectively, as our expression complements one another to create the whole tapestry. Wonderful to share that with everyone.
Laura Fisher — Yujin, I very much appreciate the lineage that you have brought forth—the vibration of the Great Ones that we knew before. Roger de Winton used to call them the “Great Ones”. This matter of being great is on the table now. For those of us that knew our lineage as we did, there is a sensing of the collective spirit—that is the only way to be great. We must be great to get the job done, to finish the work. If you think of yourself as great as a human, forget it. That's not what we're talking about here. Something has been brought forth and given to us, and that is the gift we have to embody and to express, so that all of us can come together within that. There's plenty of room for everybody, for the whole world, and that is the movement forward. I am so grateful for this evening/morning.
Luanne Somers — Yujin, you've inspired me once again tonight. I've been contemplating a lifeboat this past few days—for example, when the Titanic was sinking there was a lifeboat. I'm picturing the lifeboat: that collective. When Laura sneezes I feel it. Because we're in love, this is one love that surround holds us. It's buoyant. It's in motion, and it is life. There is a service I read recently by Martin, and he was adamant: it’s Love, Truth and Life—be accurate! Because people were saying “Love, Truth, and Light.” So he is this “superconductor vessel”—and as Anne Blaney said, it is a vessel of everlasting life. So I went from a little dingy raft in the ocean tonight to a “superconductor vessel.” Thank you Yujin—you've brought that for us, and we are all in it together with you.
David Barnes — I'd like to say a word—but also we have time, so if anyone from Korea would like to speak, let's use all the time we have together. I am thinking about this matter of finishing the work—there are a few facets to that. This is a big project, the restoration of humanity, and it takes many generations. We've talked about the pioneers who are no longer here, and a new generation of pioneers are here. Some of us, before too long, won't be incarnate anymore, and there will be a new generation to carry on the work, who will take things to a point of very particular climax and culmination. We envision that, but we don't know specifically how that will occur, or who will be on earth at that time, or the date of that completion.
I did a little research today and I discovered that at the time when the Master determined that He would come into incarnation on earth, at that very same time Gautama Buddha was incarnate. Now the Master wasn't incarnate yet, but the decision had been made in the Inner Planes that he would incarnate. At that time of decision, the prophet Daniel was incarnate. Ezekiel was incarnate. Lao Tsu was incarnate. Pythagoras was incarnate. Confucius was incarnate. All these pioneers were alive at that time, around 500 BC, when it was determined that the Master would incarnate as Jesus. When He came, we know that there were at least 12 disciples who incarnated at that time, and there were a number of the women disciples who incarnated. There were the 120 who incarnated. We might imagine that there was a whole wave of spiritual pioneers who incarnated in various locations around the world—what we now call North and South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and in the Middle East.
Well, exactly the same kind of thing occurred when Uranda and Martin were born in 1907 and 1909, and eventually woke up to their Commission. There was a flood of incarnations of those who were to participate in the great pioneering project—to generate the pneumaplasm necessary to carry on this great work of restoration. Most of those ones are not incarnate anymore, but we are; and around the world there are others, akin to us, who have come on earth to participate in this project.
One of the things that was revealed through the Master's time, and it was brought very specifically by Uranda, relates to the presence of the Twelve segments of humanity and the Twelve Tribes, with all this brought together under the leadership and focalization of the Priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek—the Priesthood Body drawn out of the Twelve Tribes. So out of the Twelve Tribes of humanity in the world now, there are those who have come to play their part just like we have, and all of this relates to the finishing of the work.
For me, I see that the finishing of the work really relates to making sure that the One I am has control over this body Temple. That is a great finishing—that is one of the great finishings—that the Lord incarnate in this body Temple has control over this Temple, over this mind, over this heart, over this body, this flesh, this response—and then there's another level of work that begins. But all over the world this process is going on through many, just like we're just describing it tonight, as it relates to us. I feel a very close kinship with all those who are part of the Twelve Tribes of humanity around the world, and vibrationally our message is shared with them: Come close, draw close, it's safe. This is the House of Communion. This is the House of Belonging. This is the Temple of the Living God. And we are here together to finish the work through all the generations that are required until it is done. Thank you Yujin, for bringing so much of this in essence to us, and we know that we have so much more to share in the days to come, wherever we are geographically speaking.
Yujin Pak — Thank you, David. As we continue this conversation, at this point I want to interject just a little bit, then continue. This matter of taking full control, having full control of our capacities. I think particularly about the energy patterns of shame and fear that still so prevail in humanity, and in that it is rather universal we have these feeling patterns, energies come up in our own hearts and minds; and as we feel that the patterns of fear and shame. all we have to do is not identify with them, but inversely use them as a channel for radiation, because they represent the experience of just about everyone. So I want to address that briefly. But I want to go on to this image about the sons and daughters of God incarnate, present in expression, standing upon the sea of glass mingled with fire, having harps of God. And to me, those sons and daughters of God are us, and the harps that we have are conveying the message in this moment to the world, to all the angels partly awakened: Finish the work. We together extend this message. As this harp is played—even in this moment I feel the message going out as we together extend the invitation: Finish the work. The angels who are partially awake throughout the world are feeling the message: It's time. Whatever is left of the purification, transmutation in me, it's time to finish that, and to be fully in place, to then extend the message to the rest: Finish the work. And to me this is how the Body awakens, as they hear the message, because we extend the message: Finish the work.
Duk Hee Kang — Thank you Yujin, for your great service today. In terms of your great work in Korea, I deeply appreciate two aspects of your work. For one, the Korean heart has had many trauma, and you introduced the Time Travel program that let us be greatly healed. And another one is that you and Marsha systematically taught us the Emissary teachings. So, relatively young people were taught by you and Marsha! Now they are at the threshold of your conscious level, but I believe they will go over that threshold to “Be You”. I deeply appreciate you and Marsha, who introduced heart soothing programs; and also, you introduced, not just at the conscious level, Uranda’s and Martin’s words. You taught us systematically. Your work is not a finished work—your work will continue in Western society. It is ongoing, continuously. Thank you.
Oonhwa — It’s not easy for me to speak, but I want to speak anyway. Yes, I felt the energy; it was amazing. I listened vibrantly, and today I know, as I listened to your service today, I felt the invitation viscerally. My heart beats very fast. We meet frequently; the last two weeks we met every day. But I feel something different in your eyes seeing you on Zoom today. Finish the work. Be me. Be the inviter to humanity. Yes. I will do that. Thank you for your intense invitation Yujin.
Norae Jiyoung — Thank you Yujin. And thank you everyone. I can feel your hearts even through Zoom. Thank you for your heart-beating message, and I can feel your fiery heart! Yujin, you have ignited our hearts, like a fire. Today I can feel a Phoenix energy! You said, “Finish the work and be the inviter”, and at the same time this means, let’s bring a new creation chapter. Let’s do what’s ours to do in the now. It’s not optional—this is our work, because we have one heart. But this heart has a lineage. All of you are our lineage. I don’t know all your names. But through Yujin’s service I can feel your heart. That’s why Yujin says, “Be me.” You are me. Be the inviter, and we make a new Creation Chapter together. Thank you deeply. My heart is beating so, and this is just the start. I look forward to making a new creation, day by day, from this day on. This invitation for us is so beautiful, and at the same time it is very meaningful. Thank you.
Sunwha Choi — A good part of aging, in my experience, is just the little things, like fear or doubt, or any small cycles, called feelings or concepts—they just recede, just move out. They don’t matter too much to me at my age. It's wonderful to get old and be free from those small things. and invite someone into heaven. I am fully ready to invite them. The first thing that I have to do is to clean myself, to make and prepare the heaven in me first, so that anybody can come and share the atmosphere of heaven with me, and with others. At this age, things are very relaxed and easy to move with, whatever comes and whatever goes. It’s very easy to stand still and be me; it’s much easier. How wonderful to get old! I didn't have this kind of feeling before when I was young. I was hoping, but at this age you can stand still and just see. in a focused way. and be generous and inviting, and give with heart and patience to young ones, and all. It is so good to be with you, and to invite, and finish the work together. Thank you.
SunHee — To be a channel to receive this message—the vibration of the message touched my heart. That message called to me from God. So, yes, yes, yes! Be pure being. Be Me. Be the inviter. I would like to say, Yujin, that you’ve finished the work in Korea—so I appreciate everything, and I send you to the world. I bless you. Thank you so much.
Christine Jonas — I just have to say I feel like I have a secret—which is all of you! Yujin, I've always appreciated, from the two or three times I've met you, your beautiful spirit, and it's certainly come across—in the words of everyone who's spoken from Korea. That Asian spirit is to me a gentle reminder that we can all stand still in the face of it all. I don't know all of the work that you did there, but it's sure glaring here tonight. I love it and I love the secret that we have to spread. Thank you so much.
Okkyung Pak — I don't know if everybody knows that I am Yujin’s big sister. I really met Yujin about 10 years ago—of course we were born from the same parents, but we migrated to North America and I left home very early. I was exploring the world, learning different languages and new cultures, meeting new people. I guess I was looking for a master, but I never met one. Ironically, when I went to Jeju—who is this man that I discovered; who is this? and what is this? And that was when I retired from my work and I went to visit my mother—and that's where I met Yujin. Before I met him I never thought about spirituality. I never knew this theory of life and the universe. I was so busy discovering the world within my earth suit. Meeting Yujin, I started taking seminars and learning about a new sphere, a new space. When I heard Yujin’s service I thought, that makes sense. I'm still not quite used to the language: finish the work, be the inviter. Of course, I never thought of it in this way. But finish the work? I always asked myself, “What am I going to do with my life? What is the meaning of life?” In fact, what you are saying is we finish the work together. But I never connected to that direction. I was rather late to be guided to that direction. I appreciate and I am grateful that at this late age of my life, I’m brought to meet you, and I am discovering this new sphere, new space. I don't know if I'm Korean or Canadian—I am in between. But it's just wonderful to be with you all. Thank you so much.
Gary Courtland-Miles — I want to come in again, and I want to thank everyone from Korea. You speak English way better than we do over here, because it is so direct. You get right to the point, and you just express so beautifully. I just want to thank you.
Pulbit — We came into this world to be the inviter. I'm so delighted that we're connected in this way, and sharing in the knowledge of that. There's nothing that can stop us. There are no barriers, truly. We do this together Thank you.
Youngseo Choi — I'm not so sure I can express what I want to express in English, what I will try. Thank you Yujin, for your true and powerful service with its message and invitation. You said, “Decide to finish the work, then the way will show.” Yes. I would like to answer, “I do finish the work with you; with all of you.” Yujin, I really appreciate your role among us. You not only invite us, but also the union of all of us. I feel like we are the Phoenix, with two wings and fire. We can do this as a whole different Being. It is time for that. Thank you so much for your service—and all the comments make me very happy. Thank you. Thank you.
Youngran — First of all, thank you for your invitation. After a strong week your service was like a whisper to invite us, a very small whisper to invite us. But your service here is more clear and strong; and I can hear what you are saying, to finish your, our work. And then your whispering voice, I can hear not from my ear, but from my heart. So thank you for your invitation. And actually, essentially, as a Korean, it's not easy to let Yujin and Marsha go to the West again. But from this service I can feel there's no doubt. We really welcome this, and bless you and Marsha’s big picture. Because, through this service I can see this process more clearly, in a larger vision. I feel so honoured to see us as a Phoenix—today we are born again as a Body of a Phoenix. Thank you for inviting us and bringing me as a witness. That's it for now, thank you. Thank you all.
Yujin Pak— I'll finish with a final comment. I'm so glad for the degree of deep exchange of heart and spirit and love that we shared in this time, especially East and West, standing together upon the sea of glass mingled with the fire of our passion, playing the harps of God, inviting all angels on earth to join, to finish the work; sons and daughters of God, present in expression now as never before. Thank you. Over to you, Steve.

Steve Ventola — Thank you. My heart is taken. My sensing is we've lit up at least half the world, and that influence is extending. It's something in our hearts to let that influence continue to extend. And I appreciate the gentle nature of the Korean heart—but more than the gentleness, the strength, the spine, the turgor of that spirit, uniting with our Western nature, to allow for something of change to occur. So, as we continue along these lines, we bless each other, and we bless the world.
Our next Temple of Light service will be with Marsha Bogolin on February 19th. And Robert Kauffman has some music to conclude our time.
