No 228 of Living Life Series 1
(1) Lord Bo Tien had in 1984 descended to remind that a temple or spiritual organisation leader must be ever the more steady and steadfast to continue to undertake the divine order (leng / the Holy Spirit) to implement God's Mission to save souls. This is more so as there are bound to be members within its ranks who are not clear and steady. That members may be in such state is understandable as they are after all human beings.
(2) He then gave illustration of a long dragon with a pearl held in its mouth and has descended to the deep forest. It has to reach the human world to pass the pearl to the world through every spiritual organisation.
(3) The Lord then said that, in effect, the dragon head with pearl has no problem reaching the destination (the spiritual organisation) after travelling through the deep forest, and such dragon has a very long, long body with many legs.
(4) In the heavenly sense, however, the 'Leng' (Chinese word) or Holy Spirit can be compared to a dragon with God at the head of the dragon, and the heavenly saints, God's representatives, deities, buddhas and prophets are the many legs of the dragon. Lord Bo Tien like any heavenly saint or prophet is but one leg of the dragon. The tail has yet to arrive. This tail represents the second coming of a buddha or messiah at the end of the present world cycle or era. Then there will be completeness of the dragon - the Holy Spirit.
(Lord Bo Tien's 1984 Anniversary Message refers "This is a very good dragon which has many legs, and the lord saint Lord Bo Tien is one of the legs to support the dragon. Up to date, the legs have arrived but not the tail")
(5) But in the earthly or human realm, the dragon had arrived but being a very long, long dragon, members of any of the various spiritual organisations would regrettably usually fail to recognise the body as that of the dragon they are waiting for, and they would step on it bringing hurt and pain to the dragon. Members of every spiritual organisation must welcome the dragon, and take up dragon positions to help carry out the dragon dance – the Mission of Heaven on Earth (God's Mission to save souls through their respective sect or religion).
(6) In the human realm, the members of a spiritual organisation must take up dragon positions. The organisation leader must carry the dragon head to lead the dragon dance in the human realm.
(7) But members who carry the legs of the dragon sometimes tend not to move in unison with the leader and thus cannot dance to the music and direction by heaven. When such disharmony and failure to give due respect happens, there will be no dragon dance, but chaos more so if the dragon body is long. The legs cannot be telling the head where to go.
(8) It is the dragon head which will lead the dance. Sometimes, a change of the person to be the dragon head is the issue and not the members. But often heaven has say to decide who can be the leader to hold the dragon head as past lives do play a part.
(9) The dragon will have to dance to music of heaven. Any temple or spiritual organisation must take the direction from Heaven for its part of The Mission. Heaven through a prophet or saint will conduct the music for the Mission.
(10) The religious or mission council or board members of spiritual organisation will hold the pearl ball in front of the dragon, and ensure that the dragon head is effective, comes to life, i.e. could spit fire from its mouth, and throw the pearl ball in and out of its mouth. The council or board has to give life and realism to the dance, i.e. to the part of Mission undertaken by the spiritual organisation.
(11) The Mission to save souls is on for all spiritual groups, and members of every group must do the dragon dance, the mission, by following the lead of the dragon head i.e. the group leader. The dance must be in accordance with the music from Heaven. The spiritual group leader carrying the dragon head must lead the dance, and the bearers of the many legs must dance in unison. The religious or mission council being bearers of the pearl and being dragon fire facilitators must play and dance in harmony and be one with the dragon head. This is the direction and message of God through all heavenly saints. Lord Bo Tien is a messenger of Heaven.
(12) The Mission of any spiritual organisation or group is like the dragon dance.
(13) Let the organisation leader e.g. pastor or priest lead the dance. He has been tasked to lead the Mission in his organisation and he has to ensure that the organisation dances with the music (carry out its part in the Mission) or face the music (stand in judgement by Divinity). It is not wise to undermine him and there is no time to waste. Worse still, there will be chaos if everyone tries to move in his or her own way, if everyone wants to be heard, as much time, energy and resources will be wasted.
(14) The dragon will be sick if the head cannot move the legs, if the dragon cannot dance in unison with the musical directions from Heaven. Then, members of that organisation must pray that Heaven bless them with dragon doctors / healers. Let them then pray that Heaven does not lose confidence and decide to choose a totally new crew in that organisation. This will happen if dragon healers fail in their job and are taken away to other realms. Time is nevertheless limited though providence has been patient and understanding (for their lack of clarity of perception and spiritual steadfastness of purpose, for their human weakness, vis-à-vis short fall in mutual respect for the leader and for one another). Many a time, members have their individual views but please let the head decide for he is the one to lead the dance though at times there is need to have a new head or leader.
