It is unreal that a week has passed since our meeting. A lot has happened since then. The first very obvious change was the lightness I felt in my spirit. Thank you for empowering me and helping clear my spirit.

As we were leaving, someone remarked that it felt like we had been somewhere beyond ordinary life and were now returning to the real world. Disorienting, yet oddly clear in mind. We do not know how we will share what we experienced with our families and friends, but we know it needs to happen. What we learned, felt, and experienced that weekend must be protected and acted upon.

We were so grateful. We were so bright. And with each wave of emotions, we stayed grounded and continued to receive what was being shared with us.

Dr. Chang is a filial daughter of True Parents [Holy Mother Han and Reverend Moon]. She was a moving, living example of a Blessed Child — in words, in heart, and in spirit; and to me, an educator, a respectable and compassionate older sister with a big heart.

I think the reason why we could navigate the content so well was because it was something we have all been waiting for. Our spirit knew something was off, and we were getting by in life by the grace of God and True Mother's [Holy Mother Han's] presence on Earth. I was so proud of everyone in that room. Amidst all the turmoil our movement has gone through, we have prevailed this far. I felt so, so fortunate.

We cried, we got sad, we were shocked, and we were educated. After the weekend, I felt my spirit become much lighter — an experience I can only compare to how Christians feel after hearing the Good News. There is hope for the world. The world is going to be okay.
