Korean Thinkers
83. Zai-Bong Kim
(1890-1944, led the foundation of Chosen Communist Path and was appointed as the first secretary in 1925.)
I swear firmly that I will not bring shame on my mother county.
All people are envious that Korea is the country to which True Parents and the Messiah came. But I was so ashamed that I couldn't raise my head in front of them. But now I am going to give up all things and start a new life. I tried to live a life more valuable than that of the average people, but I have come to know that the direction of my life was wrong from the start. I always thought I could solve any problem on my own, without God's help. I looked upon the people who pray for God's help and believe in the afterlife as unrealistic and full of illusions.
However I found a new recognition of God and life through the Unification Principle education. It was very wonderful. We Koreans cannot but to be surprised and really proud that God sent the Messiah of humankind to Korea, and that he proclaimed Unification Principle to guide the world and to realize the peaceful world. I never thought that I would stand in this sorrowful and disgraceful position.
Reverend Moon! You are the patriot of Korea. And I truly thank God for sending you to Korea as the Parents of humankind in this world. From now on I firmly swear that I will not bring shame again upon the motherland to which the Messiah came. I will wait upon God as my Parent and follow True Parents direction. Please forgive me of my wrongdoing on the Earth! I offer prayers for peace, health and long life!
84. Mam Woon Back
(1894-1979, professor in the business administration department in Yeun Hee College; he wrote Chosen Social Economic History, and crossed over into North Korea in 1948, where he served as director of the North Korea Science Academy, president of Marx-Leninism radio and correspondence college, and chairman of the democratic front for the unification of Korea.)
I will start a new life centered-on-Godism.
Reverend Moon, please forgive me of my ignorance on the Earth. Now I will thoroughly educate the spirits in this Heavenly world that God is the Parents of humankind, about the reality of the invisible substantial world and the law of redemption for sinners. I sincerely listened to Unification Thought. I can imagine the bloody struggle and suffering Reverend Moon passed through to receive God's revelation.
Reverend Moon, though I face many difficulties I will teach the Communists what is wrong with Communism on the basis of Unification Thought. I overlooked the value of the spiritual life because I had an excessive passion for an abundant economic life for Koreans. As a result, I didn't look for God, and never thought of the afterlife. Now the leaders of socialist system in the North Korea absolutely need a reformation of consciousness centering on a new ideology. Whenever I think of Reverend Moon's hard work confronting modern people to solve world problems although he is already over 80, I always feel sorry, anxious and heartbroken. I am really regretful that I should realize this truth here at this late hour.
Reverend Moon, True Parents! You have spared no pains to save humankind. Thank you very much for your suffering for me, for Korea, and for the world. Now I thoroughly and openly repent of my past imprudent deeds. I am determined to start a new life centering on Godism. Heavenly Father! Please forgive me!
*P.S.: He cried a lot because he was so sorrowful and repentant over his wrong life on the Earth.
