Before
we set out for the three-day retreat held in a high-class hotel,
our contact person cautioned us not to dress too casually and to
pay attention to our appearance. I remembered how splendidly Master
was dressed at the retreat in Korea while in contrast all the disciples
were dressed very casually. Feeling fortunate to have the opportunity
to attend this retreat, I prepared several velvet dresses for the
occasion.
What
I love most is when Master Mother is formally dressed in beautiful
clothes and glittering jewelry. And it makes it easy for me to see
Her beautiful face from a distance when She wears make-up. But this
time, Master wore a red outfit on the first day, and for the rest
of the time, dressed casually in white. I felt a little upset. I
never imagined, however, that Her garments would undergo many diverse
transformations as my eyes lay focused on Her during the lecture
sessions on the last day. Most of the outfits were of classic European
royal style. Sometimes Master was a handsome young man, sometimes
a lovely child, and sometimes a middle-aged lady in Victorian-style
dress with beautiful hair ornaments. Sometimes She looked as if
She were from ancient Egypt. And there were many styles that I couldn't
identify. I don't know whether it was my imagination or illusion.
But it was fine by me even if they were illusionary visions, because
after the transformations, Master looked so beautiful that it was
beyond description. With a loving expression and noble air, She
filled me with joy. I was so thankful to Her in my heart. She does
not ignore even a small thought on my mind. I didn't pray for it,
but Master let me enjoy it. Thank You, Master, for Your divine love.
At
the end of the Concert, when the young disciples came on stage dressed
in costumes of different countries, I suddenly realized the meaning
behind Master's earlier fashion show for me. It was exactly in tune
with the theme of the night - One World of Peace. Master is silently
blessing the whole world as She leads humankind, regardless of country
and race, into the next century and the Golden Age.
