‍Looking back, I can say that God had prepared me for at least about fifteen years to meet the Principle with experiences during and after the war, which didn't make any sense to me at that time, but later looked to me as steps in this process of preparing me for the Principle. Right from the beginning, after meeting thePrinciple, I had a lot of spiritual experiences, which means dreams, etc., andI saw Father in spirit before I saw a picture of him.

When I accepted the Divine Principle in January 1962, I knew I had found the door to a living relationship with the living God. All of a sudden, God became a reality to me — not just in abstract terms. I had not known how much God had been searching for His lost children — and for me — for thousands of years. I had not known how much God had given to man and how miserable He had been treated by man in return.

When I heard that, I said to God, “You have done so much for us now let me do something for You. You sit down, rest and don’t worry anymore. I will do Your work from now on.” At that time, I took responsibility not just for my personalpast but for history as well. I had always wanted to build a better future, but up to that point, I had never known how to do that. Now I started building abetter world, motivated by my love for God. I had many spiritual experienceswith God and True Father. At first, I used to write them down, but later theybecame so much a part of my daily life that I stopped recording them. At times,I met True Father in the spirit five times a week.
