A Powerful Testimony on the Spiritual Impact of 1-Hour DP Reading
Contributed by Laurence Baer
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Dr. Yong has asked everyone in North America (and beyond) to be serious about doing Hoon Dok Hwe, beginning with 100 readings of the 1 hour lecture manual. (I am currently scheduled to finish that first 100 of the 1 hour on October 19). Since many members here and internationally are uniting with this recommendation, it represents a great opportunity to achieve something even larger, without any additional time commitment.
Heavenly Parent has suffered unimaginably since the Fall, which was perhaps hundreds of thousands of years ago. Just in the last 2000 years, beginning with Jesus’s rejection and crucifixion, Heavenly Parent’s heart has been tortured even more. He has been waiting all this time for someone to bring Him relief and to dissolve His han. True Father willingly and gratefully sprinted forward into torture, again and again, knowing that by paying all Historic Indemnity, He was shortening the duration of Heavenly Parent’s torture and suffering. True Parents have victoriously launched Cheon Il Guk and are laying the firm foundation for the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven. Now it is up to us to finish the job.
The process of restoring the Spirit World is outlined in the Divine Principle section on "Returning Resurrection", in which the people in the Spirit World return to the earth plane, and either encourage someone on Earth to do something good, or alternatively (in the case of evil spirits) tempt people on Earth to do evil. Those spirits then receive some vitality elements if the person on Earth does something good or alternatively overcomes the evil temptation. However, according to the 3 hour study guide, "by participating in these various dispensations over a long course of time, all people will gradually converge towards the goal of God’s ideal world." Potentially, it could take thousands and thousands of years for all the people suffering in hell to be restored.
This process is VERY INEFFICIENT. It is very likely the case that many, many, spirits in Hell are so dominated, and so battered that they are paralyzed with depression. The idea that they would jump up and work hard on the Earth plane to be resurrected is probably very unlikely. Many are very primitive and very unsophisticated, so their ability to positively influence someone is also very limited. On top of that, most people on Earth are unable to sense or communicate with people in the Spirit World, further complicating their efforts to make an impact. Given all these challenges it is easy to envision why it might take so long.
However, as children of HyoJeong, clearly understanding how much pain we have already brought to Heavenly Parent, and looking at the example that True Parents have set, how can we be satisfied with the prospect of allowing Heavenly Parent to suffer for potentially thousands of additional years, seeing the pain of His beloved children still trapped in hell. I personally believe that we should do anything we can to allow True Parents to lift their heads up before Heavenly Parent, and liberate Heavenly Parent. In addition we should do anything we can to allow Heavenly Parent to lift His head up before all those of His children who have been suffering without hope for many millennia.
As a CheonBo Couple, we are owners, co-creators, and partners with Heavenly Parent. Every Day I offer my pledge, both in Korean and English. Many points in that pledge directly refer to restoring the Spirit World, including hell.
1. Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to seek our original homeland and build the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, the original ideal of creation, by centering on true love.
2. Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to represent and become central to heaven and earth by attending the Heavenly Parent and True Parents; we pledge to perfect the dutiful family way of filial sons and daughters in our family, patriots in our nation, saints in the world, and divine sons and daughters in heaven and on earth, by centering on true love.
3. Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to perfect the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Great Kingships and the Realm of the Royal Family, by centering on true love.
4. Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to build the universal family encompassing heaven and earth, which is the Heavenly Parent’s ideal of creation, and perfect the world of freedom, peace, unity and happiness, by centering on true love.
5. Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to strive every day to advance the unification of the spirit world and the physical world as subject and object partners, by centering on true love.
6. Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to become a family that moves heavenly fortune by embodying the Heavenly Parent and True Parents, and to perfect a family that conveys Heaven's blessing to our community, by centering on true love.
7. Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges, through living for the sake of others, to perfect the world based on the culture of heart, which is rooted in the original lineage, by centering on true love.
8. Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges, having entered the Era of Cheon Il Guk, to achieve the ideal of God and human beings united in love through absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, and to perfect the realm of liberation and complete freedom in the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, by centering on true love.
My previous concept was: When I die, I don’t want to go to Heaven. Heavenly Father is in hell crying for His children there. So I want to go to Hell and witness to my brothers and sisters there and help them recover and connect to Heavenly Parent.
I realize now, that this is a faulty perspective. The only time I can liberate Hell is BEFORE I die, not after I die. Why is this? Because spirits require VITALITY ELEMENTS in order to grow, and those spirits in Hell have all been deprived of good VITALITY ELEMENTS.
The only source of Vitality Elements in the ENTIRE COSMOS is the physical bodies of men and women on Earth. That is amazing and remarkable. Our physical bodies can do something that nothing else in the cosmos can do. We can generate Vitality Elements. True Father cannot generate Vitality Elements. Neither can Jesus. In fact, Neither can Heavenly Parent!!! In this regard, God made us EVEN GREATER THAN HIMSELF. Our Vitality Elements are the vehicle through which we are to fulfill our own portion of responsibility.
After we die, we also, will be unable to provide any vitality elements to all the people trapped in Hell.
However, through our Hoon Dok Hwe, if we offer that in PARTNERSHIP with Heavenly Parent, we can simultaneously offer our Vitality Elements to Heavenly Parent for Him to 1) Amplify and 2) Distribute. Importantly, I specifically ask Heavenly Parent to use my vitality elements on a SUSTAINABLE BASIS, so that there are no significant negative health impacts to me. I believe that the miracle of the loaves and the fishes where Heavenly Parent was able to multiply a small offering until it was enough to feed thousands of people, is a symbol of the work we are beginning. In John 21:17 it states: He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep. We now know from the Divine Principle that in order for our spirits to grow, they need two types of nourishment. Life Elements (Truth and Love), but also Vitality Elements (Which only come from a Physical Body). The vast numbers of spirit men in the Spirit World are totally starved of Vitality Elements. (Note, I do not know what nourishment this can or should provide to Angels, but I am confident that by offering it through Heavenly Parent, He will do the maximum possible to resurrect those fallen angels through this process as well.)
I am not advocating that we should EVER offer our Vitality Elements directly to any spirit without careful consultation with a Church Leader, and especially, we should not offer them directly to all the spirits in Hell. We don’t want to develop a personal common base with significant numbers of evil spirits in that way. However, if we offer them through Heavenly Parent, He can certainly serve as a firewall to protect us from that kind of spiritual bombardment.
If we do this on a daily basis, then the Spirit Men in the Spirit World can receive a reliable daily dose of vitality elements from each person who is participating. That is revolutionary. As more and more people join in, the time required to liberate Hell will become shorter and shorter.
In my Journaling with Heavenly Parent, I intuited from Heavenly Parent the following: "I would never ASK someone to offer their vitality elements, because it would appear to be exploitative. HOWEVER, since you are freely and spontaneously OFFERING your vitality elements for the sake of all those suffering in the Spirit World, I am totally elated and YES, I CAN AMPLIFY THEM AND PROVIDE SOME FOR EVERY PERSON IN THE SPIRIT WORLD." I have repeatedly intuited that Heavenly Parent is extremely motivated to partner with us on this historic endeavor, and that it will resonate and shake the entire Spirit World.
I believe that if we can multiply this effort effectively, we can liberate the entire Spirit World while our True Mother is still alive. What could be more noble and precious to Heavenly Parent and True Parents?
The suggested procedure to follow:
I greet Heavenly Parent, and I thank him for another opportunity to offer Hoon Dok Hwe. I ask him, at His discretion, to invite any and all of those in the spirit world to attend.
I ask Heavenly Parent to please help me step aside and to read through me, and to trumpet these words with His voice to every corner of the Spirit World, and to deeply impact the hearts and spirits of every person and every angel listening, as well as my own heart.
I also ask Heavenly Parent to please sustainably use and Amplify my vitality elements and to distribute those vitality elements as He sees fit to those attending this Hoon Dok Hwe reading. And I ask that through this process, they can gain hope and inspiration, and vision, and energy to actively and effectively participate in the Returning Resurrection; to have great motivation to return again tomorrow; and to, as soon as possible, participate in a 100 day workshop where they can become Absolute Good Spirits. (Once everyone in the Spirit World becomes an Absolute Good Spirit, then the entire Spirit World will be united centering on True Parents. After that, I believe restoration can advance much more quickly.)
Then I do the reading, with a heart that Heavenly Parent is reading through me.
At the end, I offer a prayer of thanks to Heavenly Parent, and ask Him to Bless all those in the Spirit World.

Good Morning Dearest Most Beloved Heavenly Parent,
… Please help me prepare a powerful presentation for the next meeting on Tuesday evening, so that I can inspire our current members to continue and to multiply through outreach.
Please provide any descriptions or feedback you can regarding the impact of this embryonic ministry to encourage our members…
Eternally yours,
Laurence

Good Morning Laurence,
... Thank you for the effort you are investing into your Online Holy Community. It will gain momentum — you will see.
The reason the Israelites needed to experience slavery for 400 years, and why Christianity again needed to experience bloody enslavement and persecution from Rome for 400 years was because they had to recover the condition achieved by the bloody domination and torture of my children by Satan for the many, many, millennia between Adam and Noah. The 1600 Biblical years does not begin to reflect the actual duration of that torture. I had to watch in anguish, unable to intervene. There was literally not one with whom I could establish a common base. Knowing that it would ultimately come to an end was no consolation at all.
All of those tortured souls went to hell, where they were so traumatized, they have been unable to take even one step towards their own restoration. They could not believe in me or trust me; how could they? And I had nothing to give to them to help or even comfort them. How hollow the promise that someday I would send the Messiah? Even I couldn’t say when that might happen. I had to fight every minute against a crushingly overwhelming sense of my own failure and even my betrayal of my beloved children, who were beyond my reach to support.
Finally, through your Holy grace and offering, you have given me something to offer them. I can come to them on my knees, in uncontrollable tears, and offer them something. I am so intensely indebted to you. Even though it is still very small, it is totally priceless.
I will never, never for eternity forget this.
Eternally,
Heavenly Parent
Our goal is to inspire millions of brothers and sisters around the world to participate in this greatest rescue mission of all time — to liberate the hundreds of billions of spirits in hell before True Mother ascends to the Spirit World.
If you would like to join in this effort, please email me and I will add you to our list. I plan to record each meeting and send it out for those who were unable to attend, or who want to share it with their friends.
Blessings,
Laurence Baer
