Until now in the Unification Church, you have been making My Pledge every Sunday and the first of each month. For the forty years following 1951, Christianity, as the bride nation, had the mission to complete the preparation for the Kingdom of Heaven to come of a new bridegroom and a new God, connecting directly to the Kingdom of Heaven. However, since this failed the Unification Church has emerged and re-indemnified this foundation. This means that Christianity failed to establish the individual level, family, clan and national horizontal base. Vertically, however, it has been established. The establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth had failed, but now, for the first time after three attempts since the founding of the Unification Church, it has been established. Not the family, clan or national base, but rather the world base has been established and hell has been chased out.

The Parent has established an individual, family, clan and national base on behalf of the fallen world. The Second Advent is different in that everything is on the basis of the worldwide level. The Lord of the Second Advent was to re-indemnify from the individual all the way up to the world base, receiving all the persecution because perfected Adam had not yet emerged. This course was inevitable, because True Parents were not perfected as True Parents. Therefore, this course of persecution and re-indemnification has been necessary. Do you follow? If you could understand True Father’s words directly it would be much clearer for you than receiving his words through translation.

The restoration was to have been completed within the family, Adam’s family. However, since this did not happen and humanity expanded horizontally to world level, re-indemnification was to be made at the world level. Therefore, persecution had to be tolerated through the individual, family, clan, national and world levels. The Lord of the Second Advent had to receive persecution at each of these levels before reaching perfection. Once this had been completed, even Satan had to return to his original position of archangel. Even hell has to be liberated. This has been the whole purpose of religion. Once this happens there is no need for religions to continue. Now we do not need any religion. Religion was necessary in order to restore fallen people. Once this has been completed then religion will no longer continue as institutions, rather it will become a way of daily life centering upon God.

This year’s motto is The Settlement of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age. What does that mean? This means that so many nations and families in this world have been floating around with no central place of settlement. Without a center no settlement can begin. Now is the time for families around the world to find the center, become one with it and settle down with God. You do not just settle down by yourself and without Principle. That center is the center of the whole world. Instead of this having been established from the very beginning, the Lord of the Second Advent had to come back to that center in the reverse way, beginning at the individual level, family, clan, national and now up to the world level. Once it becomes established at that level, then at that center all families will settle down around. The satanic world would no longer have the place that it once had and would naturally decline. Now the family begins and exists around that center which is God.

America and Japan or other advanced nations are not the center by themselves. This world of chaos, misfortune, tragedy and sadness now is gradually coming to an end. From this point on human beings no longer have to go through this kind of misery. On the other hand, the Unification Church was the most difficult and dark place to dwell within, both physically and mentally. But that too is coming to an end, the sun is beginning to rise and the dawn is coming. The Unification Church will also begin to experience the end of all sorrow and the beginning of happiness.

We know very simply and clearly what was God’s purpose of creation-the family; nothing other than the family that has established the four position foundation. The four position foundation consists of three generations which, when deployed, becomes four positions; God, father, mother and child. We know what the original four position foundation was, centering upon God and Adam’s couple and family. We have recited the Pledge centered upon this family. We have recited this Pledge every morning because we are connected to God in building this new world, whereas the rest of the world is still not connected. Therefore, it is our responsibility to connect all families through us. The Unification Church has been achieving this through mass weddings, going beyond the boundary of religion, creed, race or whatever. We have established the new families through mass weddings.

The Kingdom of Heaven centered upon God cannot come under America, rather America must come under the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. It is not one nation under God but rather one world under God. Do you follow so far? Therefore, we must make things upside down and rearrange them. The fall took place in Adam’s family and the result of this fall is the separation of mind and body, parents and children, and husband and wife. These are the results of the fall which took place in Adam’s family. Since this family was lost at the beginning of the human history we must regain it. The separation that occurred as a result of the fall have affected the clan and national levels because clans and nations all have their own boundaries. It is up to the Lord who is to come to break down all the walls that have come into being as a result of the fall. True Parents must accomplish this because Adam and Eve failed to do it in their family. Do you follow? When we recite the Family Pledge it means that we have gone over that boundary and are now on God’s side, this is what we are pledging. When you are reciting the Pledge it means that mind and body now has come into unity and is no longer separated. That individual whose mind and body has come into unity now stands to be united with their spouse.

We need to have a clear understanding of True Love. True Love now brings back unity whereas false love separates at all different levels. True Love will cause unity to come into being. This is what True Love does. By bringing about unification for the first time we can come to have an ideal family. When you speak of True Love, immediately you have to think of the power of True Love that brings an individual into unity and the family into unity, all three generations being brought together by True Love. Whenever you are asked to define the meaning of True Love you should immediately be able to describe what the power of True Love can accomplish. Do we have any examples of such united families here on the face of the earth? Is there any one family? Even the strongest knit family does not come up to this qualification. Automatically, it means we have hell on earth. Hell is none other than being separated from God and from each other. Hell is the place where you are unable to recognize your own parents, spouse and children even if you are living together. We are witnessing this phenomena all over the world. People no longer have a sense of their own identity, cannot find their own family and wander around aimlessly. In the same way a country such as America has been drifting into individualism, but individualism cannot find its own identity and relations. This is hell. America is passing through Satan’s ideal, instead of God’s ideal.

The solution to this situation is that we have to turn around 180 degrees and go into a godly direction. Nobody has that idea in this country or any country in the world, for that matter. No one can come to this clear solution unless they understand Divine Principle. Everyone knows that something is wrong and that they are sick, but they do not know the cause and origin of their sickness. Therefore, they are unable to cure it. Do you follow? When we are asked to define True Love immediately we have to think that True Love is that power that will bring the entities back into unification.

Even though we fell we still have a mind and body, but they have been separated and at war with one another. Men and women marry, but still there is a big wall; they fight one another like enemies. Parents and children are in the same situation. Vertically, parents and children fight; horizontally, husband and wife fight; front and rear, brothers and sisters fight each other. All directions are in conflict with each other. Where conflict exists, God cannot dwell. God comes and lives with us whenever we have unity. Therefore, before we can expect God to dwell within us we have to achieve unity between mind and body, then God will be able to visit us. The same applies to the family. When the family is united, God can come and live with that family.

You have heard Father’s teaching on the subject of True Love so many times now. If someone asks you to define True Love for them you cannot hesitate to answer. Immediately you have to respond that True Love is the power that brings my mind and body into unity, husband and wife into unity, parents and children into unity, that is True Love. That is the main spirit of God’s restorational dispensation, bringing these separate entities into unity. That is the main core of God’s work: unification. Even we, as fallen individuals, fallen families, are God’s individuals and God’s own family, but He could not live with us because unity was not there. When each is separated one from the other God cannot live with us. Do you understand? Again Father wants to emphasize, True Love is something that can bring my mind and body back into unity, the husband and wife, and parents and children back into unity. That is True Love.

When these three levels become united this will become a true family which is the building block of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, centering upon God and True Parents. Centering upon God and True Parents we can accomplish the true family, true nation and the true world. Where does the Kingdom of Heaven on earth begin from? From myself, my spouse, and my children. There is no other way to accomplish this. The concept of what True Love is must be very clear for you. What is True Love? My mind and body will become united. How can you make this unity? By cutting off the satanic lineage and being grafted back into God’s lineage, then the mind and body become one. There is the root of the fall and this has to be uprooted. This has been the work of the religious world, no matter what religion they go through. Always striking the body so that the mind and body can become one. Once the body is subdued then it has no problem in following the mind. This is what the religious life has been all about. Our conscience knows that when this is established we can go to heaven. Our mind and body knows this. Do you understand the concept of True Love now?

My Pledge consists of seven different pledges. You can only accomplish each of these pledges after your individual mind and body comes back into unity and the family comes back into unity, otherwise you cannot successfully recite that Pledge. You may pledge but you cannot accomplish that. When we first saw and recited the Pledge we did so without really understanding deeply. However, now we have come to understand deeply that the whole base is my family. Those who can say confidently to Father that my mind and body is united and no longer separated please raise your hands. We must first be able to say that and then recite this Pledge. When we begin to pray, do so on the basis of understanding the deep meaning of this pledge. Then pray whatever you wish to God. The person whose mind and body has not even come into unity yet cannot even begin praying to God. We are not qualified to do so because our conscience does not allow us to call our God, our Father. Now we are different from the rest of the world because we know where the fall began and therefore we are able to remedy it. Do you follow? (Yes.) Those who can confidently say that in your family the husband and wife are completely united raise your hands, please. That means that even though we are not qualified we are reciting the Pledge and we are praying to God. Is that not so? How can you complain that the world is bad and, therefore, you are having difficulties. It is not because the world is bad that you are having difficulty; you are having difficulty because of your family situation.

Unless we recite this Pledge we cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Most of the Christian population believe that by believing in Jesus they will be able to get into Kingdom of Heaven. Getting into the Kingdom of Heaven is not so simple or easy. Today we clearly understand what happened to Christianity, they have been hoping to get into the Kingdom of Heaven on earth but instead they have ended up in hell on earth. We see the problems everywhere, don’t we? Are people closer to heaven or hell? If there is a boundary line between these two worlds, are they on the other side of the boundary or on this side of the boundary of God. It becomes very obvious so each one can answer clearly. Believing in Jesus does not guarantee your entry into the Kingdom of Heaven. Each individual knows what is their position today.

The Family Pledge came to be necessary because of this situation. All seven pledges are centering upon True Love and now we understand why. Unless the individual and the family are united, we cannot speak about True Love. How about God? Does His mind and body fight like ours? (No.) No. How about us? (Yes.) Is no and yes the same? No, they are not the same. Not only not the same, but completely opposite of one another. Do you think that it is easy or difficult to change positions from the place where you answer yes to the place where you answer no to this question? It is difficult; if you don’t know about it, you will never achieve. The world will in fact become upside down when we accomplish this Pledge. Therefore, it is difficult to accomplish because you are in fact changing the whole world and that content with this Pledge. Therefore, how can it be easy? Should we do this or not? (We should.) Father’s entire lifetime work has been to build a good highway, not just a highway but a paved highway with bridges and tunnels, so all you have to do is run as fast as you can. Before Father established this highway, nobody could go so fast. Did we help Father build this highway or did we oppose him? We cannot claim that we helped. Father is creating this highway for the very person who is opposing Father. Even after Father explained clearly what was the past and what is happening today people still look at the sky and do not focus at all on what Father is talking about. Father is talking about me, you and everyone.

Father did not work all these years for his own sake. He has worked so hard in order to try to save all of us. What Father has been teaching us is the key of how to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. When the key does not fit the lock you cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. First, you must open the door and the key that you need is Father’s explanation and teaching which has been bequeathed to us. If you try by other means it does not work. You may try keys made out of gold, silver and diamonds but they will not work. The key that you inherited from Father might seem insignificant, only made of metal, but you try it and in one turn click it opens. Nobody can understand that this is happening except ourselves. Only foolish people, namely Moonies, understand the value of this key. Isn’t that true? (Yes.) That is why you came very early in the morning in the rain, because of the power of the understanding of the value of that key.

We must understand how blessed we are. This is the gospel of all gospels. The very fact that we are allowed and can recite My Pledge is truly the gospel of all gospels. It is the subject for our family. My family with True Love, centering on the naked land where I am born, pledge that I will build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven. This is pledge number one. In order to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven means we realize the ideal of God’s creation. We have recited this from God’s position. The second pledge states: Our family, centering on True Love… And when you say the words, “centering upon True Love” immediately you must think, by bringing my mind and body, my spouse, my children together into one. This concept must be automatically there in our minds when we say the words, “centering upon True Love.” When we go to the spiritual world, whether we have carried this out or not will be the criteria of our judgment. If we do not establish this, we will be without excuse in the spiritual world. The Pledge is that important and that formidable. Once you have accomplished it, that is heaven. However, if you do not accomplish it, you are judged.

If Father fails to achieve this, then it is not only Father’s responsibility but also Mother and children are then responsible together. By the same token, it was only Adam and Eve who fell, their children had nothing to do with it, but the children suffered. Dedicating, serving and living for the sake of others are all contained in the word moshinda .

God is our vertical parents and True Parents are our horizontal parents from which I am born. That means without serving and dedicating to God and True Parents we have no beginning. When we dedicate and serve True Parents then each family represents the whole cosmos before the fall. It means to become representative families before the entire cosmos, to become the central families-from the individual level throughout the eight steps and becoming the very center of the family. By achieving this then we pledge again to become filial sons and daughters within the family, a patriot at the national level, a saint at the world level and a holy son centering upon the whole cosmos. This is the content of pledge number two in which we pledge, centering upon True Love, serving and dedicating to God and True Parents I will make my family a representative family of the whole world and the center family of the whole world, thereby becoming filial sons and daughters. This means at the national level I will educate all the people of my nation who are patriots of that nation. That is pledge number two.

Pledge number three states that we, centering upon True Love, will accomplish the four heartistic realms and three kingships and the realm of royal family; we pledge to perfect that level. That royal family was the one Adam and Eve were supposed to have established. Now, after the fall we restore that position. The number three pledge means that we will be where Adam and Eve were supposed to be. Our Blessed couples are in the original position. Before a woman can expect to be loved by a man and before a man can expect to be loved by a woman we must first qualify. That qualification is to stand in this position. When we enter into the action of love we can only do that standing upon this foundation of the four heartistic realms and three kingships. Without True Love the four heartistic realms and three kingships cannot exist. In here you can really feel that women are absolutely necessary for all men, not just necessary, but absolutely necessary. Likewise men are absolutely necessary for women. Being absolutely necessary is equivalent to being very valuable.

This is one goal that all of our Blessed couples must strive towards every day by reciting this every minute of the day. Do you follow? Until now we have worked hard trying to understand the concept and making that concept connected to myself. But from this Pledge we can see that it is no longer just a concept, but rather a matter of living that concept every day. This is why Father has always stressed the importance of the family based upon True Love. This is an absolute must. We can begin everything centering upon True Love and my family. Unfortunately we can only say that we will try very hard to pledge rather than saying absolutely, I pledge. It is that difficult and that serious. When you say, “I pledge,” it means literally that you pledge. Once you pledge you must accomplish that.

When we listen to Father reading out the content of this Pledge, each of us must compare ourselves to this standard and must understand where we are standing in relation to this. When we accomplish this, then we can enter into heaven. If we do not accomplish it, then we must wait. The Pledge goes on to say, my family will achieve the one entire cosmic family. Now you have pledged into unity, centering upon God. It means there are not two families anymore, but one family. There may be hundreds but they are still one family centering upon God. Is this not true? The Pledge goes on to say, to form an entire cosmic family. We are therefore all part of the cosmic family. This is a natural phenomena which is God Himself.

When there is a low pressure, there is a high pressure. Does the high pressure tell the low pressure to get away? High pressure will automatically feel the low pressure without asking or expecting. This is the natural law. In the same way, some water is high and some low but they never stay separate, do they? The same surface makes them even all the time. Does this occur in today’s fallen world? One nation is very rich and one is very poor, does this disparity flow like water and air bringing equity? Who then is going against the law of nature? Advanced nations are. If they go against God’s law, they will ultimately be destroyed. One way that God is punishing and warning these advanced nations is through AIDS and drug problems. Homosexuality and free sex are unlawful in God’s sight. God hates these things and does not even want to think about it. But Satan loves such things. Father will encourage even American people to fast occasionally and with the excess food help the starving people in the poor nations. That kind of leveling off needs to be done. Just as the natural world the human world has to come into balance and harmony under the natural law.

The Pledge goes on by forming this cosmic family, I will work towards making a world of peace, happiness and freedom. It does not mean my happiness or my peace alone but rather the peace, happiness and freedom of everybody. Obviously it is very difficult for us to achieve this literally, physically, but the spiritual world has no boundaries and through our deep prayer of desire we can wish these things for all people of the world. When we see suffering we can shed tears for them in prayer. Through doing this we will be able to help the world and to escape judgment. This is what Father has been actually doing through the Unification Church. It has been twenty years since Father first began land and ocean transportation for the distribution of food. It is not because food does not exist within the world but rather it is the unfair distribution of food. Some have a lot and some do not have enough. The Unification Church will exist in every corner of the world and in each corner of the world, as the center of the universe, they will work towards this goal. That is Father’s desire and plan to facilitate the distribution of food to all parts of the world. Do you follow the meaning of Pledge number three?

The whole world is my family. It is not the false reality that we see today where my family is this one unit and everybody else is separate. In the spiritual world we will not live according to national boundaries. If you belong to one society, that society will comprise all nationalities. This is a reality in the spiritual world. From this time on whoever can make a goal for every direction and achieve it, you are the center of that society. That means we must always think this way while we are living on earth and work towards that goal, then once we reach the spiritual world we become the center of that world. Once again Father emphasizes, all of this will only begin to become possible when our mind and body becomes one.

In the world you see people become relentless in the pursuit of making money. In the spiritual world such a person’s conscience will really crush him. Here on earth the money itself will come against him. No matter how much knowledge and respect we gain here on the earth, unless we live for the sake of the whole that very knowledge will blame us in the spiritual world. That man with such precious knowledge is supposed to work for the sake of the entire world, instead of working just for himself. In this case the world will be his judge in the spiritual world. Each individual family must be able to achieve what Father is teaching us here before we will be able to fit in to the spiritual world. The whole is the key, not the individual family. No matter how precious an individual family might be, unless all families of the world become like this it has no meaning. The Pledge then goes on to say we pledge to establish a world of peace and happiness and freedom.

Pledge number five. Our family, centering upon True Love, acknowledge the heavenly world is the subject world. But the reality is that people living here on earth do not even think about the heavenly world being subject. Are there more people here on earth or in spiritual world? (Spiritual world.) We only think about this earthly world, but in fact there are far more people in the spiritual world. That means you are missing the body and holding onto the tail. As a result of the fall, human beings long ago forgot that the subject world in heaven exists. Beginning today, whenever we recite the Pledge we are aware of this subject world. Mind is plus and body is minus and not the other way around, even though the body is something we see. Our earthly world is only a small fragment of the complete picture. The mind is the representative of the spiritual world, it is in the plus position. Just as the body rebelled against the mind and treated it very badly, we have completely ignored our subject world in the same way. Therefore, we have reason enough to repent of that.

This world of subject and object must become one. We pledge to expedite the progressive development. Do you understand? We pledge to promote progressive development. If we move slowly we will stop, therefore we must have a thrust. Once we stop and no longer advance, we are automatically in hell. We are reaching towards this goal of heaven; once we slow down or stop, we go down. Having a comfortable and easy life has no place here. Life is short, and during this short span of life we must work towards progressive development. The cosmos goes around the center. It is easy for the center to go around one circle, but when you are on the edge it is necessary to travel a long distance to complete one cycle. Just as on an automobile wheel, the center of the wheel is the shaft and that revolves very easily but what about the surface of the wheel? It has to go very fast. In the same way we must synchronize the center and the surface. Father’s life, in the past and today, is always on the move. He never wants to slow down but always wants to move faster and faster. This is the pledge that Father is explaining to us.

You can only connect to the world that you are thinking of. If you are not thinking of something, you are not connecting to it. If you pledge, My family, centering upon True Love, pledge to accelerate the progressive development of bringing the heavenly world, which is subject, and the world we are living in, which is object, into oneness. Not only are we conscious of the world that we are living in but we should be thinking all the time of the heavenly world which is the subject world, and how to bring them into harmony and unification. We pledge to become representatives of God’s family and True Parents’ family. The Pledge goes on, My family, centering upon True Love, will become a representative family of God and True Parents’ family and become an influential family. That means, like Father’s own family, exert influence of the heavenly fortune. This might seem very conceptual, but it is in fact very concrete and very realistic in Oriental concepts. Father’s life and his family life is not Father’s and his family’s alone. Rather they have a visible influence over how the heavenly influence will move in the future. We are going to do that too. Through this we are connecting all the blessings to each family. This is the content of Pledge number six. By doing this we are not expecting blessing for my family alone, but rather as much as I expect the blessing to come to my family I will ensure that each family which I represent, all the families of the world, will connect to the same blessings of God and True Parents. We have millions of families on the earth and when we are reciting this Pledge it means we will become a representative family whose function is to connect the blessing to all the rest of the families to be restored on earth horizontally. Do you follow this Pledge number six? (Yes.)

Pledge number seven: my family, centering upon True Love, will maintain the original lineage. Now in the Unification Church this original lineage is of the utmost importance. Because of this change of lineage the fall took place. Unification Church Blessed families can never make any mistake and distort this lineage. No fall must occur anymore. Then the Pledge goes on, to accomplish the heartistic cultural world. This is a very basic explanation but you understand the meaning. God’s mind in heaven and God’s mind on earth is the same and Parents’ heart is the same.

Father’s brand new true civilization is beginning now, the civilization of love. Fallen civilization is existing now in the world, but heavenly civilization has nothing to do with that. We are creating a heartistic civilization. Unless we have this heartistic attitude, we will not be able to elevate ourselves from an individual to the higher levels of family, clan, nation, world and cosmos. Only this heartistic civilization can bring us into one consistent direction, starting from the individual all the way to the huge cosmos. On the other hand, we see the civilization that has existed until now has been full of trials and errors and has taken a very zig-zag path. Father’s new world civilization envisions a straightforward consistent direction. Only True Love can accomplish this. Therefore, to perfect a heartistic civilization means that True Love is on the move. Unless our mind and body becomes united, our family cannot come to exist. We talk about the heartistic civilization, but where does it begin? The family.

Father just recited the seventh pledge. It has everything from the restoration to the perfection of the ideal world. All the goals and steps are explained there. We recite this every day in order to achieve that goal. Imagine, Father values Korea most of all and yet he is announcing this most important Pledge not in Korea, but here in America. How much blessing and value we cannot yet understand because our spirits are not that high and bright now. When we come to think of our original value, all our ancestors in the spiritual world will shout out mansei because their offspring are all here receiving this gospel for the first time in history. You may be thinking that you have received enough, that today is Mother’s Day and you have to go fundraising and make money and grumble in your hearts. But once you truly understand what Father is bringing to you then such people should feel so badly for even thinking that way. This is so precious.

We must truly regard it as our pride and our blessing to have attended this morning here and received Father’s words which never have been spoken in the past nor will be in the future. This is only time in history and you were present. You must always realize that you are an individual representing the whole universe and your family is representing history. Therefore, our Pledge must be followed by our working towards this goal. Father commends all of us to become the individuals who are representing everyone. Even reciting the Pledge, you are not pledging alone, but rather you are representing everyone and representing history. Those who understand the meaning and blessing clearly and pledge to Father that you will become that kind of individual and that kind of family, please raise your hands.

## TRUE FATHER’S FORTY YEARS OF LIFE ALONE

Translator – Sang Kil Han

The topic of Father’s sermon this morning is: Cham Ah-Bo-Nim Saengae Holo Sashimnyon Saengae — True Father’s Forty Years of Life Alone. Do you understand? Today is the last Sunday of April; next Sunday will be May 1, which happens to be the fortieth anniversary of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. We are preparing to have a grand celebration on this fortieth anniversary. We will have worldwide activities including the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace; those who attended the Summit Council for World Peace will come and celebrate with us. We are reminded at this time, that from Jacob to the end of World War II, this foundation was prepared for the coming of True Father. However, this foundation was lost and, in order to establish the unified world, Father had to establish HSA and re-indemnify these lost 4000 years of foundation.

The 4000 years which culminated at the end of World War II were the foundation for the unification of the world. However, God’s hope and plan for England, France and America to unify with Father and his foundation did not take place. If this unification had taken place then the unification of the world would have taken place within seven years. However, as this did not occur Father had to walk a lonely course for forty years in order to indemnify this failure. If Father did not do this and re-indemnify within this forty-year period, then a great calamity in God’s dispensation would have taken place. Many things happened during these forty years. Even though forty years is a relatively short time, what occurred within this time period as a result of the failure of God’s dispensational will was numerous. Everything that happened within the past 4000 years we have seen repeated during this time period of forty years.

Now people realize that the world must come into unification and it is about to unite. How this will take place is something which eludes people. What we do see clearly at this time is that human history is not made and lived by humankind at all. It is not only man who leads and lives human history, but there is also Satan and God. Satan is always treading in front and God and humankind following. Just as Cain and Abel began history so mankind are perpetually following their pattern. The religious and non-religious realms always seem to alternate within history. The religious world represents Abel’s domain and the non-religious world represents Cain’s domain. Each country and religion had a relatively clear purpose when they began and flourished. But at this time in history the nations of the world do not know where to turn. Neither do religions realize what is the goal of their particular religion.

The reason the world is ignorant of its fate is because they do not know the origin of human beings and human history. The non-religious world does not know where it is headed because it does not know where it began. Even the religious world is ignorant as to the origin of life and religion. This is where the confusion stems from. Adam and Eve fell without anyone realizing. Abel did not know what had happened and what his life represented, neither did Cain. On the other hand God knew this sad reality but there was no way for God to tell man the truth. Why cannot He tell? We know the answer through Divine Principle. If He can tell now he could have told us when the fall was taking place. It took a long history, whereas theoretically it could have happened within a relatively short time, but due to the responsibility of individuals not being fulfilled it has been prolonged and prolonged.

Without telling mankind directly, Heavenly Father raised Adam and sent him to the fallen mankind and let him tell and teach mankind the truth. In the sight of God this has been the purpose of all religion, including Christianity. This happening then is the coming of the Messiah. The concept of the Second Advent not only exists within Christianity but also within Buddhism. All Buddhists believe that in the Last Days the advent of the Buddha is imminent. Confucianism and all other major religions believe in the concept of the Second Advent, the advent of the Messiah. We could give many definitions of the Messiah, but definitely one is that the Messiah comes with the explanation, or the teaching, of the purpose of human history. He tells us clearly who Adam was and what happened to Adam, who Cain and Abel were and where mankind is headed. He leads humankind into the ultimate direction ordained by God for us.

On God’s side there is only one person. The role of history has been that they evolved from a servant of servants’ religion, then elevated to servants position, then step-son, adopted son and sons’ religions and parents’ religion. Religion is not all the same. There are different types of religion connected to each of these stages of progress. Then there is the Eve religion which leads people at that stage. Has it been men or women who have played the crucial role within religion? Women have been predominately central in religious activities. The population of the fallen world is divided between men and women. However, within the sphere of religion more than seventy percent of that sphere is women and only thirty percent are men. We see that women have been central in religion. Why is this so? The Lord who is to come has to work through the world of women in order to reach the successful culmination of religion. Women are representatives of Eve whereas men are representatives of the archangel. God and True Adam remain in the same position.

God lost both women and children as a result of the fall. Since the fall took place God has no women on His side whom He can call His own nor does He have children. There are women and children but they do not belong to God. In the Last Days all women within the religious realm must join together. There are two categories of women, one side being Cain and one side being Abel. First, we should bring the women on the Abel side and have them embrace the women on the Cain side. In order to bring them together, we must first bring together the children of Cain and Abel, just as the fall took place within the family, causing Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel to separate. Adam and Eve being in the parents’ position and Cain and Abel in the children’s position. This division took place at the family level. Since restoration goes in reverse, now the same family must be brought together at the world level. This is what the left and right wing represent. The left representing communism and the right, the free world.

At this time in history we see the left and right wing, but this all began thousands of years ago at the time of the fall within Adam’s own family. Cain was on the left wing side and Abel was on the right wing side. At Jesus’ time this was to be indemnified at the national level. Israelites were on the Cain side and Judaism was on the Abel side. Cain and Abel have to come together before it can be elevated up to the parents’ position. At that national level 2000 years ago there was both the religious world and the non-religious world, each representing Abel and Cain at that time. When these two realms come together it means that this Cain and Abel have come together at the children’s level. Cain and Abel united with the parents automatically bring about unification at this level. The father comes from heaven whereas mother and children are restored on the earth. In the Last Days when the Lord comes again the left wing and right wing will come together and unite once and for all. Centering upon the culmination of Mother’s role, Father ascends and they join together. Mother’s role is none other than Christianity, and Christianity is the bride religion. Do you follow? The Christian cultural world is representative of the bride. Everyone is awaiting the coming of the bridegroom, which is the Second Advent. Father is in this position.

America embraces the rest of the world like Abel embraces Cain then becomes one with Mother. After this the Second Advent will appear. This is the same formula that we see being re-indemnified on a world level. After World War II the world was united because the realm of Abel-America, France and England-joined together, and Japan, Germany and Italy on the Cain side were also united. The conclusion of World War II, the victory of the Abel world over the Cain world, achieved that unity. The Cain and Abel side, united together with the mother, were now in a perfect position to meet Father who is about to descend from heaven. That pattern after World War II is so clear. Do you follow? (Yes)

In the Last Days, women and children together will be visited by God. Just as the fall occurred within the family and the mother and children were lost, so in the Last Days at the world level, the same pattern will be followed. All children, Cain and Abel, must unite with Mother and be restored to this lost foundation. Christians as a bride religion is to wait for the bridegroom to come. If Christians had accepted the bridegroom then restoration would have happened, and this world would belong to God for the first time, not to Satan. They fell in Adam’s family and God tried to restore it at that time, but it failed. God had to wait for thousands of years, until the time of Jesus, when it was no longer family level but national level. At the national level Jesus was to unite the religious and non-religious realms, Cain and Abel, but he failed to do this and had to be crucified. In the Last Days the right and left wings become very apparent. The Lord of the Second Advent faces the same problems as Jesus, and he has to bring the left and right wings together. Mother’s role, which is Christianity, was supposed to do that but since they failed, Father has to re-indemnify this. It is the same way this time as it was in Jesus’ time.

Since the unification of the world or the unification of Cain and Abel did not happen at the world level, it became symbolized by North and South Korea: North Korea representing the entire Cain world, and South Korea representing the entire Abel world. Kim Il Sung appears as the second advent on Satan’s side; everybody calls him father in North Korea. South Korea, in the Abel position, has True Father, Sun Myung Moon. If unification had taken place here [Father indicates on the blackboard], then Korea would not have been divided. We see clearly the dispensation moving this way. If America loses hold of Korea it will be catastrophic. It is unthinkable. This is what Kim Il Sung is doing, he is playing tug-of-war with America. The archangel must become one with Adam but since it is not taking place then Satan shakes him, going lower and lower, causing lots of problems and confusion. This is why during his forty-year lifetime, Father had to, with his own hands, bring communism into the Abel world. Father stands in the position to protect the free world and destroy the left wing world. That is exactly what Father has done. He has achieved this through right teaching, and teaching the Christian religion again through the theory which is now Divine Principle.

We must have a clear idea of history, because we learned so much in the past. The world does not know God led history and mankind followed this history. We need to know this clearly. This is the precise time where everything that was lost here [Father indicates on the board] has been found again; this has to be brought back to Korea. It seems like yesterday, but already two years ago the role of Mother was to bring the world and the United Nations-like the assembly of the world. Since the bride religion failed to play this role, True Mother has successfully fulfilled this role. She then brings this victory to Korea to be joined with Father. In the reverse way, it goes to Japan which is in the mother position and then to Korea which is in the father position. Mother returns to Korea and restores the children. The children are none other than the college students. When the second generation of North and South Korea become one it would be the same as these two countries being brought together. These two countries will eventually come together just by working with the second generation. True Mother worked through forty universities for this purpose. This will be a perfect indemnity condition; when Mother does this it will be an exact replay of the world situation after World War II. Cain and Abel will be embraced by True Parents. When this happens then what form the country exists in won’t matter anymore. The condition will have been set.

The world outside does not know these details clearly. However, they do know that no human being can bring about the unification of North and South Korea. They realize no politician, no man of power or qualification can do this except Rev. Moon. This is a commonly accepted idea. Not only do South Korean people have this understanding but Kim Il Sung himself also knows this. Without the help of Father, unification can never be achieved. Therefore, his mind moves towards that direction. This is why Father proclaimed True Parents and the Completed Testament era; now God must live with these restored people. By going to these forty nations True Mother is engrafting into them the foundation of victory. This is the complete and exact re-indemnification of bringing the world together with Mother; just as after World War II Christianity, which is the mother religion, should have achieved this victory on the world level. The free world representing Cain’s position and America representing Abel’s position as children united with the mother and connecting with the True Father. Through this, God’s ideal could have begun right there. Do you understand Father?

Through forty years alone Father took on the task of re-indemnification of this failure, because no one else understood what Father was thinking and doing. The Second Advent must be fulfilled, through understanding and making this work because God cannot tell mankind directly, only through Adam. Many things are not told to Adam but Adam has to find out by himself, make sure it is correct, and then with God’s approval descend upon the world in order to save the people completely. Do you have a clear and concise idea of human history now? (Yes) This is the history which no scholar taught or even dreamed of, but this is the unmistakable reality. This is the record and accomplishment of Father’s entire lifetime work. This is not only one generation’s work but this is 6000 years of work indemnified in one generation.

The world we are about to create is one harmonious, heavenly world. Today the world religions are confronting tremendous confusion. They do not know where to turn. However, it is not complicated at all. At the fall man’s mind and body became separated. This mind represents the religious world while the body represents the non-religious world. No wonder these two are continuing to fight each other, the same way that man’s mind and body still continue to struggle. This all came about because of the fall. The solution is to return to the place prior to the fall. Once you know this you can begin to do it, but until now no human being knew this. How can it be so clearly and cleanly solved? Because of the appearance of the True Father who will then teach these things that were never taught before. Because this is now occurring this clarity and brevity can take place.

Now is the time of the perfection of Adam and, together with the world, he comes into the direct dominion realm. All throughout history God was only able to view mankind from a distance but now is the time when God can dwell again with man based upon True Father’s center. God can truly dwell in the midst of ourselves at this time. Do you understand? In order to bring us to this point you can begin to imagine what True Father’s forty-year course has been like. Incredible suffering has to be endured in order to re-indemnify 6000 years of human history.

As Father has already explained, all that had to happen was for America, together with France and England, at the end of World War to support Rev. Moon. Had that happened then in a mere seven years world peace, world unification and the purpose of religions would have been accomplished. That was what God intended to happen. Satan did a good job destroying everything in America, the United Kingdom and France. Satan has made a tremendous mess so that when True Father now comes and tries to teach them it takes a lot of work to repair this. Satan made the countries so miserable by extending hell so successfully here in America.

Adam fell when he was a teenager and in today’s world we see all manner of fallen behavior taking place amongst teenagers. Free sex and homosexuality have no place in God’s world. However, we see these things rampant here in this society. Satan is making claim before God that because Adam and Eve fell then in this harvest time what was originally sown has to be harvested. There is no word that God can say to successfully ward of this attack by Satan. Rather, Heavenly Father has to remain silent and look on in misery. This is today’s teenagers’ problem all over the world. Heavenly Father’s desire is to save them, yet there is nothing that He can do. The problem we face today in America, as the center of the free world, no religion, no politician, no scholar, no great man can ever begin to repair and solve. Only Rev. Moon stands qualified to accomplish this work. Do you believe that or do you know that? (We know it.) What does that mean? It means that you have to become a doctor. There is no other doctor except you. Father cannot go everywhere and repair the situation. We have to become doctors and go out and heal this world. This is exactly our role at this time in history. We have the mission of Jesus of teaching them and saving them. All women for the sake of the 3300 college campuses must do just as Mother did, becoming one with Mother in that way. You must all become a mother and play the role of mother at the family, tribal and national levels.

All families have to be restored because that is the place where the fall originated. In the family we must set things straight. Now it is upside down but we have to bring it right side up. The nation cannot do this, America cannot do this. Only the individual families can do this. This is exactly the task that we have been instructed to engage in: the restoration of families. Father has appointed each of us as tribal messiahs, we have been given this blessing. Are things clear for you now? (Yes.) This was exactly what was to have taken place after World War II. Father was going to establish the tribal messiahs at that time. Had everything been victorious at that time seven years tribal messiah work would have been very easily completed at that time, not the confusion that we now have after forty years. Satan destroyed the whole foundation. After World War II Christian spirit was at its highest. Imagine so many thousands of Christians at that time working in a victorious way, how easy it would have been. Not like it is today. We would have enacted a constitutional law of tribal messiah in order to save people, which could have facilitated the work even more.

After forty long years of history going around once more to another identical time period, now Father is doing exactly that which he should have done forty years ago. The year that the Second World War ended was 1945; it was a great victory in the sight of God. [Father is writing on the blackboard.] Seven years following 1945 would have arrived at the year 1952. By 1952 the whole task would have been completed, but forty years of re-indemnity time had to occur which brought us to 1992. Then another extended seven years after 1992, beginning 1993 to the year 2000. That is the year of Father’s eightieth birthday. The unification of the world will have been completed by that time. This is Father’s plan. This is not Father’s individual planning of things, but history works towards that goal. Therefore, Father has to meet the right timing.

Christians are still struggling because their theology is incorrect. They believe that Christ will come from the clouds. In Jesus’ time also, the Jewish people were awaiting the coming of Elijah in a chariot of fire from the clouds before the coming of the Messiah. However, such phenomena did not take place but Jesus still came. Likewise, at the end of the New Testament era it is exactly the same. What failed in the Old Testament Age must be re-indemnified in the New Testament Age. When this does not happen then it gets extended to the Completed Testament era. Now we must do it. [Father is writing on the blackboard] The blockage to the Old Testament Age accepting the Messiah was based upon the expectation of Elijah appearing in a chariot from the clouds. At the end of the New Testament era, they are also waiting for Jesus to come literally on the clouds. This is absurd, but this is what is causing them to falter. What failed in past ages must be restored in the present age. This is the meaning of indemnity.

At the end of the Old Testament Age Elijah did come. Who was Elijah? John the Baptist. How can John the Baptist be Elijah? Because he came in the role of Elijah. The people were unable to distinguish that fact. At this time also Jesus is to come again and, indeed, he does. However, not Jesus in person but the Lord of the Second Advent will come. Sun Myung Moon comes with the same mission as Jesus in the same way that John the Baptist came with the same mission as Elijah. There is no way around it we have to repeat and win over that condition before we can be successful. The people of Jesus’ time ended up killing him. By the same token when Jesus comes again, in the form of Sun Myung Moon, they will try to kill him too. Indeed they did try. Ironically the ones who opposed Father the most were the Christians. Just as the early Christians met with the most opposition from the chosen people themselves, so in this time the Christians have tried to eliminate Father for various reasons.

The very people who are supposed to benefit from him try to oppose him and to kill him, but he desperately tries to save them. Do you follow? During this forty years Father had to take many complicated steps. He needed a scholarly perfection of the theology in order to teach top people in society. Only a fraction of the people are able to understand that. But that fraction did understand and formed many different international organizations to bring about unification. Incredible work has to be done during this forty years before any foundation is built. Father formed the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace, the Federation for World Peace, the Women’s Federation for World Peace and the Youth Federation for World Peace. These are the organizations formed by Father to accomplish the work.

[Father is drawing on the board] Under True Mother is the Women’s Federation for World Peace. The mind is represented by the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace and the body is represented by the Federation for World Peace. One representing the religious world and one the political world. Mother and children, women and youth all must become one. The key to world peace is to bring mind and body into unity and also man and woman into unity, which is another form of mind and body. The core of the American problem lies in the family and the center of the family is mother. If the mother plays her role correctly then that is the way to restore the family. For the sake of world peace, individual mind and body must come into unity; then within the family, husband and wife come into unity; then parents and children come into unity. These three elements must be unified. This represents Adam’s extended family [indicating to the blackboard]. After the fall mind and body, men and women, and parents and children all separated. World peace comes only through this formula. This is the crux of the formula. Centering upon these concepts we can come up with a Religious United Nations and a Political United Nations and a Women’s United Nations. All three elements must become one. Women’s Federation is in Mother’s position, Political Federation is in Cain position, and Religious Federation is in Abel’s position. That is exactly what Father is doing now. The Lord of the Second Advent, True Father, becoming one with this unity [indicating on the blackboard]; then that is the complete restoration.

All that God lost in Adam’s family is now being restored at the world level because history has progressed. This is what Father announced and proclaimed at the Summit Council for World Peace in Korea recently. He proclaimed these three types of United Nations. We already have a United Nations but it is very clear to everybody, that these 182 countries all assert their own position and protect their own interests. They are not working for the interest of the world. Everybody is aware that world peace cannot be accomplished this way. Seventy-five per- cent of today’s world are in the religious realm and half the world population is made up of women. Women have lots of money too. (Laughter.) This is no accident, this is the way it is supposed to be. Now is the time of restoration, so all the money is in women’s’ pockets, because they must use that for the sake of restoring and saving the world. Eve fell and inherited Satan’s ideas but in this time women must reverse that process. Even this is an over-simplified explanation, but you should now have a clear idea what the world has become.

America must listen to Rev. Moon otherwise it will not have a correct direction to go in. That can only mean that it will decline and the world will decline with it. The world does not know where to go; if it continues to go this way and that, it too will perish. It has to go in the right direction. The True Parents are eternally one. There cannot be two sets of Parents. There is only one set of True Parents. That entity, that name True Parents, all individuals, all families, all nations, religion and the world need them in order to be saved. There is no one who can do without True Parents. Because of the fall God cannot teach us directly. Therefore, we need someone who we can go through, and that someone is True Parents. True Parents have to teach us everything in a comprehensible way so that we are able to follow. This is exactly what is happening. The individuals, families, clans, nations and world who follow True Parents are destined straight to Heaven; security, peace and happiness all will be theirs. All need to follow True Parents in order to find eternal peace, happiness and heaven.

Until now the typical religious thinking was at the individual level at best. It is not the individual who is so important but rather the nation and world. Always the larger aspect is the point of God’s concern. If the nation listens and goes to Heaven then the individual will automatically go to Heaven. Is that not so? (Yes!) If the president of the nation has the wisdom to understand this and enacts a law to follow this path, then in no time at all the country would be saved. Do you follow? It is going to happen quickly. Now is the time of light, not dark. We begin to see so clearly what has been happening in human history then it is easier to follow. This will happen very quickly. The purpose of religion was to save the family and the nation, not so much the individual. Tribal messiah mission is to save the families. Families need True Parents. Do you understand? (Yes!) The family is the starting point, not the nation and world. From here [Father indicates on the board] the true world emerges. The starting point is the family. Therefore, Father sent you out as tribal messiahs to save the family base. After the family base is secured then to save the nation and world will be no problem. Do you understand?

This tribal messiah is the formula that really works. This is really a great advancement in our method of working. What the tribe consists of is a relatively small number of individual families. When restoration takes place within these families; individual mind and body becoming one, the family becoming one and uniting with True Parents, then that is exactly where world peace begins. Otherwise it is all too conceptual. But tribal messiah work you can do. All we need to do is to expand the successful pattern of tribal messiah work. This is where Heaven on earth literally begins, not conceptually but literally. Do you understand? It is the building block for the Kingdom of Heaven. That is where the palace of life, love and lineage begins. What does Heaven on earth mean? Peace, happiness, unification, and the ideal world: all these things begin from the family, not from the nation and world. The seed of happiness, peace and unification is within the family. There our mind and body, man and woman, and Cain and Abel children must all become one. Just as division occurred as the result of Adam and Eve’s fall, now it is being restored.

It is much easier to accomplish something when we understand it clearly. The unification of mind and body, husband and wife and children makes an ideal model of an ideal family. [Father indicates to a diagram on the board.] Father’s role is to make Heaven on earth at the world level, whereas our task is to build Heaven on earth at the family level. How this is accomplished is, as Father has already explained, unification between mind and body, unity between husband and wife, and unity amongst the children. Do you follow? That is the starting point. Everything that humankind desires, peace, happiness and all goodness begins from the accomplishment of this. Do you think there is even one family amongst our families here in America that can satisfy this criteria? If you say no, then it means that no one belongs to Heaven. Where do they belong? Hell. It doesn’t matter what position you may hold or how much money you may have, all that matters is that you become one with Parents and God. This is what is all important. Once we achieve this we become an individual family who represents the cosmos. Last Sunday Father made such a strong impact, didn’t he? He told us that we must become a representative of our family, our nation and God. We are the central person. Likewise, this model would become the central family [indicating to the board diagram].

When Adam was born he was already king of the future nation. Adam and Eve were in the position of family king, tribal king, national king, world king and heavenly king also. If Father is in the position of True Parents, then what are we? We are also true parents. The whole world is one big tree. Who is that big tree? All of us. It isn’t just Father and we are nothing. Father is a big tree, but he is the trunk and root and we are all branches. Today we have a clone which means from this one perfect cell you can make hundreds and millions of perfect cells. That is called cloning. By the same token, once we are perfected, this will spread around the world as a good seed. That is what is to happen. No matter how small your seed may be it is always the same as the parents’ seed.

In the Last Days we see confusion everywhere. There is confusion in the spiritual world also. When Father had to swim out of this confusion Satan always tried to block Father’s way, making it nigh impossible. God does not stop it but He cannot help either. God can only watch and wait. In order to make order out of the world, one must first make order in the spiritual world. Father proclaimed this truth on the earth but he is actually directing it to the spiritual world. The spiritual world will oppose him because at first they don’t understand and, second, they are not good yet. Therefore they oppose him and even God opposes him. Why does God oppose him? Man betrayed God, did he not? Therefore God has to betray man one time before He can accept him. The same confusion reigns in the spiritual world as on earth. Confucius and others all came out and called Rev. Moon heretical. Every religious leader called him a heretic. Then there was a great debate with God presiding and each presents pros and cons as to why his theology is correct and why it is not. For forty days you must go through that. We can only imagine. But God knows that without having a clear blueprint nothing can be achieved.

Confucius would argue what are the proper aspects of character. Confucius had some idea of God, but he never knew that God was like an individual with personality and character. Confucius taught people about heaven so when Father challenged him, with just a few words he was knocked down. Father challenged Jesus by asking, “Why did you not tell that the Second Advent would come as a different person rather than yourself?” He could not answer. Why did he leave it in such a vague way that he would come from the clouds? It is making the Last Days very difficult. Once he went to the spiritual world he realized what mistakes he had made on the earth. There is a great debate going on, like a democracy. Here is God. They debate each other and they denounce Father; but Father challenged them to answer certain things. They could not answer. Even God said, “Rev. Moon is right.” (Applause.) You need God’s recognition, God’s seal of approval, before you can introduce order here on earth first you must introduce order to the spiritual world.

Actually, within the Unification Church there are a lot of odds and ends. We are not regular ones. (Laughter.) Spirits have criticized Father saying, “You are in the John the Baptist position and I am the real Messiah.” You cannot become the Messiah just because you want to. It is because that “Messiah” has placed order within the spiritual world and on earth that he is recognized as the Messiah, not because he claims to be. The confused spiritual world and the confused world now comes back into order as a result of Father’s work. [Father is drawing on the board.] Look at the spiritual world and the religious world, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, even Confucianism, you name it, have all built a great wall. They protect themselves by their walls, but they don’t care about the others. This is the reality of today’s religious world and it is the reality in the spiritual world. Just as Jesus kicked all the earthenware, Father breaks all the religious barriers and brings them into unity, into one direction. Not two directions, only one. On the earth today, strictly speaking, we have as many directions as we have population, but we must bring them all into one direction.

People have opposed and persecuted Father, but in spite of themselves they find they are moving in the same direction as Rev. Moon. Everybody has come to the realization that the word “peace” is a very hollow word. Peace remains further away than ever. Now people are beginning to realize that Father is the one who is closest to peace, that he is peace. Even non-religious people pay a lot of attention to Father now. Father is not a religious leader in a narrow sense, he has to make an impact on morality, politics and industry, before he can be a true religious leader. Every aspect of life needs the Messiah. Now this being the way that it should be, what is your concept towards Father? Do we understand Father is such an important person in this wide scope or do you not understand Father at all? Do we really understand Father? (Yes. We need you.) If you know, but you do not do as he teaches then what is that? If you obtained a doctorate degree from Harvard and then just stayed home, it would be better if you had not obtained the degree in the first place. If you have a doctorate and do nothing, it is worse than if you did not have one and did nothing.

Communists were revolutionary, they wanted to make a better world even though they were in the wrong direction. Now they try all over again but in the right direction under Father’s guidance. Whereas the free world knew God and had everything but did nothing, so now the communist world is taking their fruit. First Father must put the spiritual world in order before he can do the same on the earth. Father meets with all the top leaders in the various fields and they see a lot of hope in Father. They challenge their own way to Father and they are always mesmerized and bow down to Father’s higher level of understanding. They wonder how he learned so much. This is why Father must make his appearance and help the people understand, so that they come to respect him. Mikhail Gorbachev was invited to the recent Summit Council for World Peace and he had a lot of good ideas; everybody respected him because of that. However, Father challenged him and said to him, “Mr. Gorbachev, you must do this.” He could not say a word because it was correct. He just listened and nodded. Should Father follow Gorbachev or should Gorbachev follow Father? (Gorbachev should follow Father.) Naturally. Rev. Moon’s name is becoming resurrected to a higher level. Some people still regard Father as some kind of fanatic. But we can see that after we have put order in the spiritual world we are now bringing order here on earth. Is it visible to you also? (Yes!) A few more steps and you will be there.

You are all intelligent and smart people otherwise you wouldn’t be here. (Laughter.) I don’t think you are dumb. That is for sure! (Laughter. Father laughs.) You all see the blueprint for world peace. The world is in your hands. Don’t you feel that? You feel it and are confident in that too, are you not? (Yes!) No one can be better than you. Doesn’t it also mean that even if Father didn’t help and work in your place you can still do it? You feel confident that you are able to do it. It is that kind of a time, not only for us but for most average people out in the world. Unless they are completely dumb, there is no one who is going to oppose Rev. Moon anymore. They opposed him when they did not know. Therefore, if we are smart enough to know how about Father, Father can feel a million more times confident than we about the world? (True.) This is where the True Parents and the Completed Testament era has been announced. Eternally there is only one set of True Parents. All the spiritual world and all mankind should follow True Parents. That is the way to the Kingdom of Heaven.

What does the Completed Testament Age mean? The Completed Testament Age is the perfection of the ideal of creation. This should have a tremendous impact upon you-the perfection of the ideal creation of God. That means the world will become perfected. Until now, during this forty-year course, no one truly sympathized with Father and went along with him no matter what. Very few people did that. Until now everybody has opposed him, but once the right time comes and Father has established all of these conditions and stands above them, then they all will have to follow Father. This is exactly what happened in Korea. Every former head of state stood up and applauded to Father and Mother when this was proclaimed. Father’s true mission is to bring everybody into unity and make the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, but more importantly Father must establish a perfect family. Restore the mother and children and have the mother and children become completely one with Father. The completion of this one original family is Father’s main task. This has been the culmination of Father’s forty years of tremendously hard work. Father’s goal and God’s goal is the same. He established this family by going through all manner of persecution and difficulties, but by winning over every step of the way he has brought his family into perfection. This simply means to restore one woman and the lost children. Even though she is one woman, she is a woman who represents all women both here on earth and in the spiritual world too.

[Father is drawing on the board.] Individual level, family, clan levels and so forth. Likewise children are not simply children, but they are children who represent the whole world. They come here [indicating to the diagram] and become one among them. Even though the size of the family is small it truly represents the entire cosmos. At the end of World War II had Mother been found everything would have been easy. Within seven years all would have been accomplished. Now Father has deployed this foundation on the worldwide level, horizontally not vertically, then brings it up again to find Mother. The world of women is not steadfast, they are swaying to and fro. Before the fall this happened and it is the repeated now. One time standing closer to God’s side, then coming back to Satan’s side and then back to God’s side, like this. We must help them to stand on the central point and become steadfast and constant.

Ultimately there is nothing that this one woman, who is truly qualified to represent the whole world, did not go through. She has been through the most difficult horizontal experiences and won victoriously. The world does not know this clearly because they are still in the dark. This is because the perfected Adam did not reign yet. Even though they are still in darkness, they have the instinct to understand. The woman Father was looking for was the one who claimed to be the spouse of God. Father had to find such a woman. She stood on the top of the cosmos right next to God, but even in that position she still swayed. Do you understand what that means? One time God teaches her but then Satan has his chance to try and teach her. It is up to her to decide which to follow. Father is able to help her and teach her what is taking place around her. When Father teaches her in the right way, she asks God. But then even God has to oppose her one time. If she asks Heavenly Father, “Is this man a heretic?” God will respond, “As much as he is a heretic on earth, he is a heretic in the spirit world.” At other times God will say, “He is absolute. He is representing me.” God responds in two different ways. Just as John the Baptist criticized and opposed Jesus, but at the same time he testified that Jesus was the one to come. In the same way Father needs somebody to testify to him in two contradictory ways. Father needs one woman who does that. Various endorsements and testimonies as to who Father is went through many different steps. That is something Father had to go through in order to come to where he now is.

During Father’s forty-year course there was a time when Father served a woman as if she were God Himself. You may not know the details, but Father started from the servant of servants’ position and continued serving until he came next to God Himself. Because the woman is being served she elevates, then at a certain point she recognizes and testifies as to who Father is. At that time Father must reverse the role, and come right side up. From that point on Father has dominion over her. Only through winning over that period could Father be in a position ready to select Mother based upon that foundation. While Father is doing this, inevitably there were many women who were very closely communicating with the spiritual world. Their ages ranged from teenagers to eighty years old. Many high level spiritual women came and challenged Father in many different ways. Everyone of them claimed that Father was her bridegroom. Father had to be very wise while helping them understand what was happening.

Father could then expand this victorious foundation in a horizontal way and restore everybody to their rightful position. Until that time Satan was above God, all mankind and Father too, but through going through the different levels of servant and winning over Satan could Father go the right side up. During this time Father had to make horizontal restoration for equality, then Father gained dominion over the position of fallen women. Women, represent the satanic world until that time, had dominion. But then this changed and Father claimed dominion. Through the woman who claimed to be God’s own wife, Father had to reverse the position or role. A great tragedy occurred. Because she was so intense in following God’s way and believing in Father she could automatically be protected by Heaven. But once she had a doubt in Father she could no longer handle it and became overwhelmed and went down to hell. She went insane. It is that kind of intense world-no hesitation-it has to be the correct answer right away.

The meaning of all this is that God already gave the blessing and after World War II, mankind centered upon Christianity had a mission to fulfill. But since they failed the mission and God had already given them the blessing, now through Father God has to collect all the blessing back to Him so that it can be given to the right person this time. This is what Father had to do. Father began with elderly women, serving them unconditionally; they finally testified that Father was the Messiah. Father had to harvest all that blessing back so that he could be ready to give it to the horizontal world. Father had the right at that time to select a bride and give the qualification to whoever he wanted. He had the right at that time. After regaining the blessing back, not only vertically but also horizontally, Father gave this blessing back to Mother.

In 1960, Father chose the bride and the Marriage of the Lamb took place. Father then elevated to the national level and his work was done at that level. The human ancestors fell in this stage [indicating on the board], not in this stage. This stage is equal to the time of 1960, another seven years to reach the perfection stage. Since this is included within the satanic domain all kinds of opposition have to be met. Father and Mother met actual opposition, but from God’s standpoint True Children should no longer have had any more suffering from this point on. Since Christianity did not fulfill its mission and lost their foundation, Father had to re-indemnify this. During this course even Father’s children must go through incredible suffering which we are unable to observe from the outside. Nevertheless they had to go through much suffering in order to reach this perfecting point. 1992 was the culmination of Mother’s work. This is why the liberation of women has been proclaimed for the first time in history. This liberation should have come about automatically after 1945, because God and humankind won the victory and women were to be liberated at that time. It did not occur because Father was not accepted. Father had to begin all over again in order to create the same foundation and, for the first time in history, he proclaimed the liberation of women in 1992.

The liberation of women means that now is the time for women to become united. Prior to this they could not, even if they wanted to, because they had no foundation. What should have been realized in 1945 and the seven years following did not happen. Through Father’s work of re-indemnification, the successful pattern has been established and this is now the women’s era. 1992 was the beginning of the women’s time, prior to this history was dominated by men. After Mother has been established, now Father moves to bring back the second generation. The children are the second generation. Father has termed the children as the second generation because at the time of Moses the first generation was lost in the wilderness. It was the second generation who entered into Canaan and now we are in a similar time. Without them knowing it, mankind has been going through the wilderness course in this past forty years. Now the ones who will enter into Canaan are the second generation because the first generation all fell down.

“Second generation” has two meanings, first as Blessed couples you give birth to children who are in the second generation position. Those born after 1945 are also considered the second generation. Now they are about fifty years of age. That is about President Clinton’s age; he was born at the end of that time, but he still is part of the second generation. Father views everyone born after 1945 in the realm of the second generation. Blessed couples are naturally considered second generation in an Abel position, whereas the second generation of the world are in Cain’s position. Even Father’s children are now actively working on college campuses to restore the second generation. We also, centering upon women and the Blessed couples’ children, must go forth to play the motherly role now. The college campuses must be the center where we reclaim the second generation back to God’s bosom. Mother and Abel must come together in order to save Cain. This is the meaning of the college campus speaking tour, to enlighten them and bring them towards God.

The Israelites entered Canaan and were supposed to exert influence over them, instead they became influenced by the existing people. Instead of firmly establishing God’s tradition among the people of Canaan, they became absorbed by them. It was the role of the mothers to teach their children the right tradition and together to establish that tradition in Canaan. However, they failed to do this. We have to make sure that we do not repeat their mistake. We have to exert complete influence over them and not become influenced by them no matter how brilliant they may appear to be. Mother and children must represent God and establish our kingdom which is the opposite way of the way of this society and world. Don’t ever take a neutral position in regard to homosexuality and such behavior. Such behavior is completely against God. It is completely wrong. Mother is Father’s responsibility and the children are Mother’s responsibility. We must become a part of Mother and completely play Mother’s role. Mother completed 266 rallies around the world, including college campuses, and we must do the same here. You have to do even more because we are more in number. This is not a concept, but a reality.

Father fought this forty years realistically, here on earth in real life. In the same way we have to live a real life following the same pattern as Father. Do you follow? (Yes!) We must restore God’s world.

Father handed the baton to Mother and Mother is doing exactly what Father has been doing in the past. We don’t need to be bothered if the established religions come against us. We simply need to concentrate on the second generation, who are as important as all the established religions. Who has the specific mission to save the second generation? It is none other than Mother. Mother is responsible for bringing in the second generation. Those who were born after 1945, around the age of 50 and less, occupy about two-thirds of the world population. They are in the majority. Half of them are women, and women must play this role of reclaiming the children. Centering upon your sons and daughters, unifying them between Cain and Abel, you united together with them bring the second generation of the world back to God. Then the Kingdom of Heaven will come about. If you embrace the age span that Father includes within the second generation; that is the world. It means the world will have come into your domain and influence, which is God’s domain. Our Blessed women have to save those in the Cain position born after World War II, centering upon their children in the Abel position and unify them. On that foundation you will stand in Mother’s position and enter into Heaven. This is the formula. Do you understand clearly? (Yes!) No matter what difficulty you face, you have to overcome it. This is your mission. Do you clearly understand? (Yes!) Without creating this foundation you cannot get into Heaven, you cannot follow Father. Is this clear? (Yes, Father!)

Father’s ultimate goal was to find Mother. But now what we need to do is to restore the situation after World War II, in 1945. Restore the second generation and together with our family become united into one. Once we accomplish this we don’t need to do this [indicating to the board diagram]. This is a far more difficult work to do. Relatively speaking, this is far easier and Father already made a foundation for you. The older people who married each other: their husbands are not in the position of husband at all, they are in the position of the archangel. You observe carefully, that is an archangel relationship. You must work closely with them and bring the wives and children back to God by having them become one with you, then Father will give them blessing. Then that man will be able to stand in the position of husband for the first time in a legitimate way with God’s blessing.

All women in the world must align themselves with True Father because they represent a part of Mother. Father is the general of the women. (Laughter.) We are familiar with the term “heavenly soldier” aren’t we? (Yes!) In a period of war the military is the most efficient way. It takes a general to bring victory, not just a civil leader. An army must obey the command of the general. In the military if you don’t obey you receive severe punishment. We must establish discipline and order. Do you women understand? (Yes!) You American women especially, can you welcome me? (Yes, Father.) How do you express your welcome towards Father? If you listen to Father well, then you are welcoming him. If you welcome Father as a general, then you are welcoming him. Once the general gives an order, everyone has to obey absolutely. Is that right? (Yes!) You have to know the answer to this better than me, otherwise you will fall away again. Father doesn’t want that. Nobody wants that. Women answered affirmatively to Father, but does that include American women? (YES!) (Father laughs.) American women or not, we have to do this.

Father has taught us this morning how to successfully work to restore men, children and the entire family. Father’s work was far more difficult, but now Father is giving us the blessing and we can now do this. Father never taught this content so clearly before. Why? The time has to be right. Until this time even Father’s children did not understand clearly what they were going through. They would ask me, “Father, are you my father or are you the father of the Unification Church members?” True Children had that kind of struggle when they were small. True Children see the horizontal phenomena, but do not necessarily understand the deep-rooted agony of God and Father’s forty-year course. They do not understand the dispensation as clearly as we who are already taught. Do you understand? Can you safely say that Father worked for the sake of us and not for the sake of his children?

There are twenty million people dying from hunger. Because of the loss of understanding of the originality of mankind we do not feel pain, as though they are my own brother or sister. Only Father has the heart to address their problem. On June 13, 1990, Father began the dispensation of the ocean. Therefore, June 13 must be celebrated by Ocean Church. During this time, Father has studied how fish products can be caught, manufactured, sold and distributed. Man can live when he has earth and water. That is his minimum. The European colonists in Africa never taught the native people how to become self-sufficient through agriculture. They have a rich and fertile soil, but nobody knows how to cultivate even simple plants. This is why Father has the farm in Texas, which represents the center of the entire farming area of the world. Where there is soil you can grow food, and where there is water you can stock the fish and farm them. We are surrounded by ocean and water; if it is managed correctly the food problem for the future generations will be guaranteed. Women can learn how to fish, raise cattle and farm as well. We don’t have to sit and watch our brothers and sisters dying of hunger. Whose burden is this? The burden falls upon those who realize earlier than others. Do you agree? If you know, then it is your burden, especially American women. You are in the central position of the free world. Father told American women long ago that they must buy boats and gain experience in fishing.

Through the mass media the people of the world can be taught what we are teaching individually now. You have to teach fishing, hunting and farming, then the media will teach them the Divine Principle. Buddhism strictly forbids killing and Father agrees that human beings were not supposed to kill living things. Love them, but not kill them. However, the situation is now different. Today man is dying, God’s children are dying; so it is not a problem for a fish to give its life for the sake of God’s children. Do you agree with that rationale? We see many children dying of starvation and malnutrition; how painful it must be for the mothers of those dying children. Therefore, we must save them. If you develop a transportation system, the food can be transported from one place to another. This is a practical solution to preventing starvation. We can build lots of boats in Korea and distribute them as they are needed. We have to build the highways so that food can be transported to remote areas. If we do this correctly Father feels very confident that in a short period of time billions of people will feel supportive of the Unification Church. They don’t have to understand the deeper truth as we do. Do you want to do that? (Yes!) Father encourages and commands you to familiarize yourselves with the boating life and go to fish as fishermen do, hunting also. If one woman begins that way of working, the women surrounding her will follow her actions. This is the women’s mission, mothers mission. This is why Father established the women’s organization all over the world. We can connect with everywhere.

Father organized Ocean Church years ago but everybody has deserted it. Only Father remains in Ocean Church. However, Father began it so, therefore, it is going to flourish. As soon as Father returned from Texas he hit the water, so to speak. He went straight to the Hudson River and began striped bass fishing. Father went and caught his quota. Father catches fish for this reason, so he cannot really enjoy eating food. Father may eat fish that somebody else caught on another occasion, but not the ones Father caught. He just cannot eat them. Father’s goal is very clear: striped bass will become the sacrifice to save many millions of God’s children. On June 13, the fourth anniversary of Father’s fishing dispensation you should celebrate. Father will transfer it to us and then begin a new hunting program. Do you think that we should do this in the vast land of Africa or not? (Yes!) Father has been criticized all the time for hunting and fishing as a religious leader. However, now that we understand clearly should Father have listened to them and stopped hunting and fishing or was he right to continue? (Right.) Father is the king of fishermen.

Father now successfully ended forty years of his life and looking back Father feels he gave everything he could. Father could feel content and happy. However, Father feels that probably the rest of his life will be somehow an extension of that forty-year course. Even though Father has completed this forty years and tells us to do it, still he never stops. Instead until eighty years of age, Father will continue on without thinking about how much he has already done. Father’s goal will be that he will never be outdone by young people. What an irony that Father, at the age of eighty, works like a young man while a younger man lives like an old man. If they don’t change quickly, they deserve to perish. We deserve to perish and no mistake.

Father wants to make the point that even though he didn’t always see the results of the forty years’ work that he has done, in looking back today all the results of that work is appearing abundantly. This is a testimony to us to follow Father’s example. You only have one life to live and it passes very quickly. Father wishes to bequeath his way of life completely to us. This is the time when working hard on earth will create what you have in the spiritual world. Only in this world, in your lifetime by living this lifestyle will you be able to create that foundation. Do you understand? (Yes!) One person on earth can be so important. Father works so hard because he knows this reality. This foundation is Father’s property which will connect to him in the spiritual world. Do you understand? (Yes!)

We have to reflect at this time and place on how many public tears did we shed for the sake of Parents and the world. We may have had a hard time during our lives, but at best it was a private suffering. This is not what Father means. How much public agony have we felt, how deeply have we felt that the world might perish if I did not accomplish my part? This is what we need to reflect upon and compare it with True Parents’ life, Father’s life. Then we will determine to change our life exactly into Father’s pattern. Whatever we make here will be waiting for us as our property in the eternal world to come. Forty years ago Father set a goal and plan as to what those forty years of Father’s life was to be. Without that plan and goal Father could not have lived his life, likewise we have to do the same. All the satanic world came against him and never left him in peace. That means we too have to have an individual plan in our lives: when I am seventy, I’ll accomplish this; when I’m eighty, I’ll accomplish this, etc. We must make a clear plan and adhere to it.

When you enter college you know the curriculum you will be working by and at the end of four years that you will graduate; then you want to do something. Therefore, you have a plan. No matter what you do or how hard you work, unless you follow your destined way you will meet opposition. Your meeting with opposition is not necessarily a bad thing at all, rather it stimulates you. It makes you check that you are going in the right way. Looking back Father is amazed, because each time Father reached a most difficult point that stimulated him to think more seriously than before and it was always a turning point for good. Father always thought of the dispensation first. If we really determine a goal for ourselves, work in that area of responsibility, pray and work like crazy, without your knowing God always helps. You have to be so serious as to think that until you achieve your goal you will not sleep or eat, then you will surely succeed. Do you think that Father’s forty-year course has been a straight line or up and down? (Straight.) Life consists of highs and lows, but the direction is always the same. We must strive to always do better and better. Looking back it seems like a dream because Father was so focused to accomplish, and only on looking back it is apparent what staggering things have been accomplished. The proclamation of the True Parents and the Completed Testament era and the establishment and settlement of True Parents and their family, these are tremendous accomplishments. Looking back Father cannot really remember when he did all that. Without tears Father knows that he could never have done that. Only God knows what a painfully miserable, pitiful life Father went through, both physically and spiritually. Only God knows. Father knows that God also shed a lot of tears for the sake of Father. Looking at Father suffer, God also suffered. Father knows that. It is like a dream and if someone hears this for the first time they may wonder what it is he is talking about, but we do understand.

Father’s children, namely us, must resemble Father. Why should we do that? In order to be able to go to the same place where our Parents go. How regrettable it would be if Father taught us so clearly and we don’t carry it out so faithfully. We will be to blame. Father does not want that. If we didn’t know we might have an excuse; but once we know and do not do it, it will serve as suffering to us. Father knows that our life is lonesome and difficult, yet Father knows this is the best way of life here on earth. Therefore, Father has no regret in encouraging all of us to go the original way. Father wishes this to be a turning point for us all to determine more strongly than ever to follow Father’s way of life and succeed like him, that we may rejoice together eternally in spiritual world. Those who determine this raise your hands. Father is planning to leave on the 27th of this month, there are 160 Japanese women who are to be trained and 500,000 Japanese men are on Father’s agenda. Like Father, we too shall work hard and take responsibility for America. Always think that you are younger than Father. Remember that whenever you get tired. God bless you. (Applause.)

## THE SETTLEMENT OF TRUE LOVE BEGINS FROM THE TOP CENTRAL POSITION

By Fami1yfed June 27, 2018 June 27, 2018 Speeches of Rev Sun Myung Moon 1994

## REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

### April 17, 1994
Belvedere, International Training Center
Translator – Sang Kil Han

As you may see, the topic of Father’s sermon this morning is unusually long: Cham Sarang Eui Ahnchak Eun Choaego Eui Dae Pyo Ja, Joong Shim Ja Jariaeso — The Settlement of True Love Begins from the Top Representative’s Position and the Top Central Position. Do you understand what this means? Before Father begins his sermon today he would like to mention that there are just three more universities that True Children will speak at in order to cover all of the major universities in the U.S. This is a critical time of transition to see who will lead all of the youth of the world, the second generation. This is a very crucial question. Through the Bible we are reminded that all of the first generation faltered in the wilderness after the forty years of wandering, but the second generation were the ones who went forward into Cannan. At that time the second generation were to have envisioned a new nation and undertaken the building of that new nation. Now is the time in history when the Unification Church must re-indemnify that. Envisioning the new nation means the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. This enormously important work rests on Mother’s shoulders. It means that all mothers should have educated youngsters in preparation for this end.

American families are in great crisis and the responsibility for healing this lies with the mothers of the families of this nation. In spite of the difficulties, if the mothers were alert and had gone straight forward embracing their children, then we would not have had to face the present crisis in this country. Uniting mother and children is so important, and now is the transition time. At the time of the Fall mother and children did not unify in this way, rather they followed Satan’s way and fell into Hell. This needs to be restored today. The expansion that has taken place since the Fall has not been a good expansion, rather Hell on earth is being expanded day by day. The mother of the original family did not fulfill her responsibility. Therefore, now is the time for mothers, as the center of the family, to embrace children and lead them into the right direction. Therefore Father established the Women’s Federation for World Peace for this purpose. The mothers are taking responsibility at this time and the purpose of the Federation is to embrace the children and follow the path of God and True Parents.

Father proclaimed the settlement of True Family which means the same as how to nurture the second generation and how to lead them to the right direction. Here in America representing Parents, we are to embrace the second generation. This country, together with True Children, has begun the crusade of covering 3,000 universities and addressing the students. We now stand in the historical position, centering upon the mothers of the Blessed couples together with their children, joining with True Parents’ family to address the whole second generation of this nation. [Father draws on the board] True Parents family and Blessed families together with the children, representing plus and minus, uniting together to fulfill our mission. This is the mission God is calling us to do at this time. We have to complete it no matter how difficult it might be. Now we have begun to establish, and are undertaking the establishment of the Youth Federation of World Peace together with the alumni and students of the universities. Those two positions represent Cain and Abel and when they come together and unite then the Parents can settle upon them. Then God can reside there and we can do anything. This is the formula which God and Parents have been preparing so hard for, and we are right in the midst of it now.

Reverend Pak and Dr. Baughman have been called to organize the events to cover 3,000 universities. Korea has already made and is undertaking the schedule of covering 220 universities and Japan is undertaking 1600. As Father has told us many times, if the Adam, Eve and Archangel countries conform to Parents’ wishes then all other countries of the world will follow their example. America is cozily settled and to separate from the children is difficult. Once you become greatly involved in it and not able to take care of your families so much, you appear almost like beggars. That is how the chosen nation looked when they were on the verge of entering Cannan. This is exactly what happened in the days of the Israelites when they were about to enter into Cannan, they wanted to get married with the more affluent levels of pagan society and surrounding countries and then they simply lost their direction. The most important point was that they failed to educate the young children at that time. They were about to enter Cannan and amidst all the other difficulties they failed to see that the difficulty was temporary, and that in order to determine their eternal life, they needed to educate their children with tears. That is what had to be done at the time of the Israelites. The Unification Church is passing now through this stage of time forearmed and aware of the time that we are living in. It is such a strikingly similar parallel of history that we find ourselves in today.

All the second generation who have graduated from universities, together with their own mothers will participate in this crucial activity. Those who are sixteen years and above are ready to think in such a manner and to take on that kind of mission. Sixteen or seventeen is the same age that Adam and Eve were when they fell. Do you understand? What is the motto of this year? (The Safe Settlement of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age.) Not just settling, but settling safely and comfortably. This means that Parents literally settle down, not wandering about in search of settlement. Now is the time to settle. The Israelites did not have a nation at that time, and today Korea is divided between North and South. However, once they become united then the country will come into being. As we all know, North Korea with the worst kind of Father and South Korea with True Father are confronting now. Only True Father can bring about unity between them. Everyone in Korea now knows that only Reverend Moon can unify North and South Korea. The Korean people commonly think this way. America may have a difficult time in understanding where to begin in order to bring about the unification of North and South. However, they begin to have a lead to understanding Father’s connection with both countries now. South Korea has tried and tried to bring about unification, but they are silently giving up.

Think how difficult it is to translate, Father has to always supplement for us otherwise the meaning will be incomplete. Why have so many different languages and customs emerged throughout history? Since Satan knows that God is to unify the whole world and bring it all into the Kingdom of Heaven, then Satan has been dividing people and creating wars and enmity. If there are five billion population in this world then all five billion do not understand the correct direction. Only one direction is correct and yet they do not know that. There is only one direction through which we all must go and yet all five billion are all going off in slightly different directions. There is no one accepted, understood way that everybody can comfortably follow. Everything is divided, including Christendom; and all other religions as well are divided and fighting each other. Whenever there is division and fighting God cannot reside. Satan can always claim that position. History has been one of war and fighting. The reason we have wars on a global level is because at the individual level the mind and body are fighting. We are the beginning point of all war. When our mind and body will become united then the world will be united. When will this take place? As men of religion we must always come to this point: it is myself and not somebody else who is at fault. The mind is connected to God and the body is connected to Satan. There is a crossing point of life and death and that demarcation line is right within each one of us.

What we have to do is to have our mind pull our body into the domain of the mind. How to break that boundary within me is the question. With this premise Father always fought, at the individual level taking a certain direction, and the family, the nation all going towards one direction. Father has been fighting and preparing in this way and this is the history of the Unification Church. Family connecting with the tribe, the tribe with nation, and the nation with the world and even to God in a consistent direction. No one has this idea except the Unification Church members. Unification Church stands on one line, the individual, family, clan, nation and world also stand on that same line; God is also on that same line. Since this has been accomplished we will have free travel back and forth between God and the individual. God will have the same freedom of travel just as between parents and children. What should an individual do? An Individual should connect to the family. In order to do that what do we have to do? We have to invest and sacrifice for the higher purpose of the family. If five members of the family all want to go in different directions then I, as an individual, must sacrifice for the sake of all other members of the family. We have to sacrifice and invest. The smaller number should sacrifice for the sake of the whole and this concept is so important and yet so foreign to us. We cannot sacrifice many families for the sake of one family. Rather an individual family should sacrifice for a greater number of families. This principle applies all the way up the scale, even at the world level. No matter how many nations there are in the world, God is One and we have to center upon God. Each country should sacrifice for the sake of other countries to obtain this goal.

God also invests for the sake of True Love as a partner. All have sacrificed for the sake of God and it then becomes God’s turn to sacrifice for the sake of all others who have sacrificed for Him. This is exactly what God is doing. This plus and minus will make give and take action. Do you follow? What is True Love to do? True Love, and only True Love can make peace within the conflicting self. Mind and body are fighting constantly even though they try not to, but only True Love can make the peace within us. So far mankind has had love within themselves, but it has not been True Love and therefore was not strong enough to make peace within ourselves. With the help of True Love however, we can make peace within ourselves. Since the Fall took place with false love, consequently it will take True Love to restore mankind and unite them again. True Love is that force which can make unity between mind and body. With True Love husband and wife come into perfect union; the same applies to parents and children. Without True Love the unification between parents and children cannot come about. Do you understand?

As you see we already have the grand solution to the peace of the world. The original starting point for world peace is myself and my family. However, today we observe a nation with a mistaken idea. We see how nations think that they can maintain peace and unification through military power or political power. However, these are quite inadequate to bring about world peace. There is no True Love within the reliance on military and political power and we cannot hope for peace in such circumstances. In order for the safe settlement of True Love to come about we must have a representative and central person. Who is that highest central figure? (True Father.) On the side of the mind, which we cannot see, is God and He is the highest representative and highest central figure. God is True Parents and He has a body which is in the object position and God is in the mind’s position. These must become one. [Father draws on the blackboard to demonstrate.] Here we have to achieve unity between mind and body and as a unified being, unite together with True Parents and God. True Parents and True Love [Father draws on the board]. This is mind side and this is body side, subject and object. Do you follow?

The result of the Fall brought about the worst parents and the worst love. The world is now residing in the atmosphere of the worst kind of love so that God cannot exist in this world, Satan always takes all sovereignty. The world needs True God, True Parents, True Love. True God has always been sacrificing again and again but at the time of harvest we will bring all to the warehouse of God. As mankind fell so did the archangelic world and the material world together with humankind. The whole world came into the realm of Satan leaving God all by Himself. It means most specifically that God lost all women, and all children. The fallen world is like a toilet. (Laughter.) That is true. (Laughter.)

What is the qualification of this representative and central figure? It is the Adam who did not fall, the Adam and Eve that did not fall. Adam whose mind and body have been united through True Love, and the Eve whose mind and body has been united through True Love. The salvation promise that God has always been giving to mankind has always been centered upon this. Such individuals would be the bride and bridegroom who were to come. Christianity’s position and role is that of a bride who is awaiting the advent of the Messiah. That Messiah is in this position [indicating on the board] of bridegroom. The hope for the bride (Christianity) is to eradicate her fallen nature and sin and become the perfect bride to be wed by the groom (the Messiah to come). Satan made the separation between the two and now God should come and cause them to be united. Once they become united then Satan will no longer have a place to occupy. That is why unification is important, that is why the Unification Church is important. Once unification occurs at all levels then Satan will be chased away forever. Do you follow? (Yes.)

This is plus and minus [indicating on the board] and they are to become one. The representative stands in the position of God and the plus and minus realms. He stands here and then he settles down in True Love. Beginning with the individual it is connected to the family, clan, nation and world and all will go into the same direction. Adam and Eve are in the top position. Even though he stands here [indicating to the board] he is still the center of the world. He is the center of the individual, the family, the tribe, the nation. Do you follow this? (Yes.) He is the top representative but at the same time the center of all. Top and center of the whole universe and cosmos. Mind and body become one and men and women become one and between men and women who is plus and who is minus? Who is in subject position and who is in object position? Man is in subject position. Even for American women this truth stands. How can we say this is so? Because there is always subject and object. Why? We think of God and man existing separately and independently. But God has no meaning without man and man has no meaning without God. However, God and man are not the same, one is subject and one is object. Like God, man is in plus position because man represents the vertical position. The upper and lower spheres connect through a vertical line which is man. Do you understand? (Yes.) God will connect mind and body through the vertical line. God is in the upper sphere and man is in the lower sphere and God connects them through the vertical line. That means it is not woman’s role to become vertical here. [Father draws on the board.] Just as man stands in a minus position to God, likewise the wife stands in the object position to subject. Women go around the subject or central position of man. Why? Because the woman does not carry the seed within her. Man stands in the visible God’s position and only man carries the seed for a child within him. Is that true? (Yes.) The vertical line alone does not afford God room and space. God needs room and woman affords Him that room as man and woman interact together and woman goes around man. God needs space and room for the multiplication of children in many different directions.

Women do not possess anything which they can call their own. A woman’s breasts and hips do not belong to herself, her face belongs to her husband and also her sexual organ belongs to husband. The empty space is as valuable as that which fills it. Within that space woman can give birth to God’s children, not only five or ten but even more. God will even be amazed at that value of a woman, but it is still an empty place. If she gives birth to a bad man, that is a bad child; if she gives birth to a good man that is God’s child. This is why the fruit of knowledge of good and evil is referred to in the Bible. Originally woman gave birth to a bad seed and this became the problem. You cannot deny what has happened in history. When a woman looks at a beggar, so long as he is a man, you should feel his value and bow down. Why? Because he has the seed of life which you do not. This is true. This is not what Father is saying to us in order to make us laugh, this is God’s stolen creation. What woman has exists for the sake of everybody except herself.

Now we know who the top representative is. Let us imagine if mankind had never fallen. Then would my ancestors and myself have been the sons and daughters of God or not? (Yes.) Yes, that is a happy yes. The result of the Fall brought misery to us because we don’t have the clear idea of myself as the representative and center of all things. This is the result of the Fall. All women, in spite of all the complications, want to be the highest and most beautiful queen in the whole world don’t you? Don’t you? (Laughter.) Don’t laugh answer truthfully to me. (Yes!) YES, emphatically yes. By the same token, all men also want to be the king of the whole world don’t you? (Yes.) That means that men and women together can be kings and queens? That is the question. You are blessed in marriage, so do you feel that you became kings and queens? (Yes.) I mean literally, that all of the kingdom will come and bow down before you because you are getting married. What is wrong in our world today is that it has not become the kind of world that recognizes you as kings and queens because of your marriage. Who endorses you as king and queen? The people within the kingdom and also the ancestor of the king. Who is the ancestor of king? God Himself is the ancestor of the king. The descendants become the next generation of the king and the immediate next generation of king and queen would have been Adam and Eve.

The original position was like this, very simple. Do you understand? (Yes.) Every child which Adam and Eve would have given birth to, and for future generations, would have been kings and queens. The kingship would have been inherited down to thousands of generations. The eight stages are here [drawing on the board] starting at the individual level to the world and God’s level. All eight levels are here and millions and billions of people are down here. No matter how many people there may be, still they are united with the king and queen because that kingship and queenship is connected horizontally to all children, to all brothers and sisters. Do you follow? Those who are born first are elder brother kings and the younger are younger brother kings. Both are kings. Plus and minus but they are one. God can travel freely within such a kingdom. Do you understand? Everyone is equal; no matter where you would go, there would be a kingship. All men and women would be born with the quality of conscience of understanding that all men and all women are to focus their position on top. No matter how enormous, centering upon one God all are brothers and sisters.

Every single one of us, no matter what position we are, wants to be kings and queens because originally we were supposed to be. No matter how many people may live in the kingdom, still he is the brother or sister, the son or the daughter of the main king. This means that he has inherited everything from the king himself. The same applies to women as queen. In that position one should be confident that “I am a son or daughter of God Himself and the king himself.” Each one claims that everyone belongs to him. What makes him or her so confident that everything belongs to them? It is True Love. After restoration we can see that we are newly restored Adam and Eve. I can say that I represent God, king, all things and the whole universe. I am the representative of all that. Connected through True Love we are able to stand in that position. We want to love the utmost don’t we? Who is number one? Completed Adam and completed God. We should feel confident and proclaim that I am perfected Adam who did not fall and I am perfected Eve who did not fall. Through what can we claim to be perfected? Centering upon True Love you are able to connect to everything. With what? (TRUE LOVE.) True Love can make mind and body united without problem, husband and wife, parents and children and all the brotherhood can be united without problem with True Love. God created this formula way and you have to use the formula way. This is the principled viewpoint. We should invest as God has invested. Clear? (Yes.)

Always you need to have this clear idea that you are the representative. Top representative position and center position is my position. Man’s position is only one and woman’s position is only one not two. Man’s space and woman’s space connects with and represents everything connecting with True Love. Ultimately God will come down vertically here at this point [indicating on the board] and connecting into one with the same value. Do you understand? Same value. We should be always conscious of the fact that we represent all of the historical beings in history and all beings on earth. By doing so we stand in this perfected Adam and Eve’s position. We should always have this strong consciousness and we all want to, don’t we? (Yes.) We all want to stand in the original position. Why did God give me that desire within me? Because God’s original creation was this. [Father draws on the board.] In the spiritual world it would be connected in such a manner. In going to the spiritual world we will add this vertical motion, if we had the horizontal motion here on earth we will be able to make a motion in all different directions and make a gigantic globe.

You may be certain of the fact that even though my eyes may be small, still my eyes are the ancestors of all the eyes of the world. My eyes are representative of all creatures’ eyes. My face represents the whole universe. However, the fallen world does not have this kind of concept, but the new world is beginning. Until now everything was at an individual concept, but now Father is teaching that we can do everything. Eternally expanding. When you were blessed in marriage, you may have thought that of the 240 million population here in America, as a man I am one of 120 million. Then as woman you may have thought you are one of 120 million. But this is so wrong. Then what is right? There may be 120 million men but you represent every single one of them. We should think like that because that is God’s original way of thinking. You should invite Heavenly Father to please come down to our marriage place because we represent them all. Then God will be so happy to do so. You are a couple representing America whom God has been waiting for so long. How about you Jim? [addressing Dr. Baughman.] (I’m working on it Father.) You have to all clearly understand the position you are standing in now. Public position people will go up and up all the time whereas individual position people will go down and down all the time.

When a person stands in a central position then he is the center of the whole world, at all the different eight stages beginning from individual to cosmic levels. The entire world population will look at you as the center. Your couple’s lifestyle must be worthy of this position and if you follow this formula way you can get into Heaven and stand in the king and queen position. God’s property belongs to me, God’s absolute love belongs to me, everything belongs to me as the center of the cosmos. [Father indicates on the board.] This is the central position and the top position. All central representative’s have the responsibility for all. In the place of God we, as the central representatives, take responsibility for everyone. This is the representative’s responsibility. We have inherited the position of becoming kings and queens but we have also inherited God’s responsibility over all the subjects. The central person must take responsibility. Secondly, the central representative must protect all that comes under him. Thirdly, the central representatives responsibility is to ensure the growth to perfection of those under him or her. In place of Adam and Eve, as perfected Adam and Eve, we will take on the responsibility of all mankind; take on the responsibility of protecting them all from falling away and make sure that they grow to perfection. This is the pledge we must make as the central person.

If each and every one of us is standing in this original position, willing and determining to put everything we have into that goal, then the whole world cannot help but become the Kingdom of Heaven. As God has been historically investing into us, if we inherit that tradition and do the same then the whole world will rise higher and higher and never perish. The only way to prosperity is to invest and invest and forget that we gave. Do you understand? (Yes.) This is most important in order to create God’s prosperous world. You have to know clearly this point. Do you understand? (YES!) (Laughter.) Very sharp sound like a canon firing. (Father laughs. Laughter.) Amen. We have to say that we will be like Father and even better than Father, standing in front of him and not behind him. When we do that like crazy then we will become like God Himself. Father took all of the responsibility of protecting us, he even went to jail in order to protect us, but I don’t have to do that. We are able to proclaim and shout out as much as we like because we don’t face the danger Father faced. We are free of persecution now. We have to march on as a victor. This is the spirit we need to have now. When we all do that then we will take the work away from Father and he will have nothing more to do but to settle down. Father is a grandfather now, you are all young guys; how can you compare yourself to Father?

We should understand that the settlement of True Love can only begin from this position of central representative and central person. Today in your family you should challenge your husband and your wife and even your children, if they have truly become a representative person to the whole world, representing God, our Parents and taking responsibility for all things. We should challenge the members of our family then the whole thing can become perfected. Now Father’s position is to encourage us to rise up to Father’s and God’s position. You may feel you have done enough, but that kind of thinking has no place in us. We have to climb up to God’s position. Father has nothing better to say to us than to tell us to come to God’s position. This is the top position, there is no one who is higher than God. When you are determined to go to that position, and only too happy because it is the purpose of our life, then God will visit us here. Through True Love we must accomplish this. We have not accomplished this in the past because we did not have True Love. But now with True Love we must accomplish this point. You can proclaim to the whole world and all things that they cannot see God because He is invisible, but here I am; you can see me and I am the visible God. You can be assured that when God needs something which is visible, touchable, material He cannot create Himself, I can create it for Him. Only through me God can have whatever He wants to have. We have to have that kind of confidence in ourselves. We can say that God cannot create His sons and daughters by Himself, but I can reproduce sons and daughters and dedicate them to God. God, you are the vertical being so you only gave birth to one couple, Adam and Eve, but I on the other hand can create dozens of children and I am better than you. God will be happy and tell you mansei! Can you imagine? We have to have that kind of responsible position.

Isn’t it true that God created us better than He? We also have that kind of Godly quality of wanting our husband or wife and children to be better than we are. Even the worst wife wants her husband to be better than herself. Isn’t it true? (Yes.) God wants to follow us rather than we follow Him, because He gave birth to only one couple and you can feel confident to give birth to a dozen couples. We are better creators. Not in the pattern of the fallen world but the original world. We are the originators, the first ones to be born. Therefore we should never think as an individual, this is the result of the Fall. This is something we have to truly go beyond because we are not individuals, we are representatives of all. When you take on that responsibility and you are happy because your life has that value, can you even imagine divorcing? Divorce destroys your wife, your children and the country. This is actually taking place. Adam and Eve got married individually, they did not get married as representatives of the universe. This is what the Fall was and this is what we have inherited. Therefore, restoring means going back to God’s position and representing all mankind and protecting them in God’s place. Can a president’s wife, Kennedy’s wife, marry other people? Of course she can as an individual, which is fallen. But we have no place as an individual, fallen or not fallen. Now this morning we should resolve ourselves to be the banner bearers for the first time in history, the true representative of all mankind on behalf of God. Let that flag hoist as high as possible and be visible to all four corners of the world. Do you understand? (Yes.) Have you lived in that kind of a fashion until now? Did you hoist the Unification flag high and let it be seen by people? Have you done that? Do we have our Parents’ picture in our household to make sure who our center is? (Yes.) Did we hoist our flag in our household? That is the symbol that this house represents the entire universe, it is the house of the universe. Satan cannot live there where that flag is flapping in the wind.

Is Father an insane person or not? (NO.) Without following True Parents there is no way for people to find freedom, hope, liberty, peace and happiness. Until we inherit the Completed Testament Age and True Parents’ position we will not find these things. How to inherit this is our mission. Until now we lived in all manner of ways, but there is only one way of living and that is with God. We should not live by listening to our husband or wife, but we have to listen carefully to the calls of today. You have five senses with which to perceive. From now will you follow this kind of way or not? (Yes!) Raise your hands if you want to follow that kind of way. Thank you. (Applause.)

Let us pray

## Peace and the 21st Century The Fundamental Principle of True Peace

By Fami1yfed June 27, 2018 June 27, 2018 Speeches of Rev Sun Myung Moon 1994

## Reverend Sun Myung Moon
President, Federation for World Peace

## Founder’s Address
March 27, 1994
at the Second Federation for World Peace Conference

### My dear President Mikhail Gorbachev, distinguished Co-Chairmen, honored heads of state and government, respected ladies and gentlemen:

To all of you I express my deep gratitude that you have been able to come here in such large numbers to take part in the Second World Peace Conference. As we enter the age of internationalization and globalization of the 21st century, we are confronted with the urgent task of overcoming a large number of difficult obstacles to world peace. I have an absolute conviction about our global problems, and it presents a solution that addresses the fundamental root of all these problems. I have dedicated my entire life to the pursuit of the Will of Heaven based on this persuasion. Please allow me to share with you a few elements of my conviction. Our world today has become evil, filled with conflict, confusion and hatred. This is true of individuals, families, societies and countries. The root cause of so much wickedness is a conflict between the mind and body of individual human beings, a conflict that started at the beginning of human history and has dragged on throughout the ages. As embodiments of discord, such individuals naturally produce families fraught with conflict, which compose countries torn by strife and a world divided by struggle. What is the result? An evil world of hell. For Heaven, it is the most abominable of all possible worlds.

The origin of this ongoing conflict lies in the relationship between two individuals, man and woman, who are themselves torn by conflict within. Therefore, the solution to our complex global difficulties lies in creating unity between mind and body and in harmonizing the relationship between man and woman. If we accomplish these two goals, we will have found the solution to the problems of the entire world. Why have mind and body come into conflict with each other? Why have man and woman not been able to establish harmony and unity? The reason is that something in our history went wrong. It is my firm conviction that the original fall took place at the dawn of human history. It was then that the mind and body of individual people became divided, and strife emerged between man and woman. The human world became evil, centered upon Satan.

### The Solution to the World’s Problems

The first step in solving the world’s problems, then, is to find God. The second, expel the evil Satan from this world. The third would be to establish men and women who have accomplished the unity of mind and body God expelled fallen Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. They had become husband and wife centering on Satan instead of God, and because they bore children while in that state, all the ancestors of humankind came to inherit the lineage of Satan. Their blood lineage was corrupted. Through adultery, the archangel who became Satan stole the intended bride of Heaven. It is a principle of Heaven that whenever a relationship of love is established (whether false love or true love), ownership becomes established from that point. According to this principle, the human ancestors came under the ownership of Satan. Originally, the mind and body were to become one, centering on God’s true love. As it turned out, however, before God’s true love had a chance to be perfected within the human mind, the mind became bound by false love from Satan. That enabled Satan to take root in the body. Originally the mind was to exert a positive polarity over the body, but due to the Fall the body formed another positive pole, repelling the original mind and finally coming to dominate it. For that reason, God has been working to project the power of true love into the human mind in order to bring about the absolute subjugation of the body now engulfed in false love. Only when unified through true love can mind and body return to the state where God dwells within them.

The fallen ancestors became false ancestors. This is what created the need for religion and for a Messiah. The tasks of religion and the purpose of the coming of the Messiah are to break down the hell of false love, false life and false lineage, which have given rise to false individuals, false families, false societies, false states and a false world. Religion and the Messiah must guide us back to the original world of true love, true life and true lineage. It is the world of the true parents centering on God. God, too, feels loneliness when He is alone. He created the heavens and the earth centering on a relational ideal, and his reason was to find true love. Look at the created world. You will see that it is structured in pairs: The mineral world, the plant world and the animal world are all arranged in subject-object relationships as a way of providing ideal models for true love between human beings. True love is the reason why women are born for the sake of men, and men for the sake of women. Solutions to global problems become possible only when our minds and bodies-and when men and women-come to live for the very purpose of becoming one centering upon true love. True love can be found only in a situation where a person exists for the sake of his or her relational complement. Satan’s love is centered on the self, whereas God’s love is centered on others. These two kinds of love are diametrically opposite. For our fallen bodies to be free from the world of Satan, we need to know absolutely that we have achieved the position of a second, visible God, that the invisible God is our ideal subject of true love and we are in the position of His absolute objects. Our minds and bodies must be united by means of the invisible God and by means of true love, and we must honor and respect our heart and conscience just as we honor and respect God Himself.

### Three-Subject Thought

We can recover our “original selves” only when we submit absolutely to the commands of our conscience. God is the Parent of parents, the Teacher of teachers, and the Master of masters. This forms the basis for the “Three-Subject Thought” encompassing heaven and earth. It is only through the conscience that these three can form an absolute unity and to fulfill the Three-Subject Thought. Thus, the conscience is more important to us than our parents who gave us birth, more important than any teacher, and more important than the king of any country. Only when elevated to such a position can the conscience become an object of God’s love. The conscience needs no education about right and wrong. We must give it absolute honor and obedience, just as we would honor and obey God.

There is nothing I do that my conscience does not know about; it sees everything. The conscience objects whenever the body schemes to do something wrong. Yet, because the power of fallen love was stronger than the power of the conscience at the time of the fall, the body is able to drag the mind around wherever it chooses. This kind of problem would not exist if the human conscience had achieved perfection and had formed a relationship of true love with God in the Garden of Eden.

Adam’s family in the Garden of Eden was to be a family of true love, in accordance with God’s ideal. God created them so they would give visible expression to every kind of invisible existence. God and man were in a subject-object relationship centering on true love. He created the two ancestral human beings, Adam and Eve, with the expectation that they would become the substantial perfection of the invisible children, invisible brother and sister, invisible husband and wife, and invisible parents that exists within God’s heart. God wanted the true love of children to be perfected in substantial form; he wanted to see His objects of true love perfected as actual brothers and sisters in a family, as actual husband and wife, and then as actual parents.

True love in a father-son relationship is vertical; in a husband-wife relationship it is horizontal; in a brother-sister relationship it is on the front-and-back axis. God wanted such a spherical ideal of true love.

Unification, then, is accomplished at one central point, where there is a convergence of the upper and lower hemispheres on the vertical axis, the right and left hemispheres on the horizontal axis, and the front and back hemispheres on the third axis. This point becomes the focus of centripetal force. The Four Great Realms of the Heart–that is, the realms of love of the child, brother-sister, husband-and-wife, and parents–reach their perfection when human beings who are centered on God are married and enter their first relationships of love. This is the central place where all perfection bears fruit.

Marriage thus represents the synthesis of the virtues of heaven, earth, and humankind and the perfection of all things vertical and horizontal, left and right, and front and back. Accordingly, Adam and Eve as husband and wife, as God’s most beloved substantial objects, were meant to be the second ancestors. From that position they would stand as the second creators and would inherit all of God’s feelings. They would feel the joy of God in the positions of children, brother and sister, husband and wife, and parents. Their joy as the second creators would be in the experience of bearing children, by which they could experience the position of the First Creator.

From this perspective, God was the first Creator; Adam and Eve were to be the second creators; and the children of Adam and Eve were to be the third creators. The first, second, and third creators-that is, God, Adam and Eve, and the children of Adam and Eve would have established a formal pattern, a pattern that would have been the fundamental principle that all humanity would have to follow.

From the perspective of Adam and Eve, there would be connection between upper and lower (the parent-child relationship), left and right (the husband-wife relationship), and front and back (the brother-sister relationship). It would have led them to the perfection of their family. It would have been the unified foundation of God, Adam and Eve, and their children. As people approached God, they would accomplish the unification of mind and body and the unification of man and woman, and they would form a stable foundation where peace, freedom, happiness, and hope would converge to form the basis of fundamental peace.

### The Family is the Base of True Love

Through Adam and Eve’s having children, God would have enabled Adam and Eve, who were the second creators and who were visible and substantial, to take part in the creation of the third creators.

Through this process, the family becomes the foundation on which the Four Great Realms of Heart can be experienced generation after generation. The family is the base where each form of true love can be brought to perfection. In this way, the family achieves the unity of God and man through love, and it serves as the starting point toward the perfection that enables us to establish true ownership in heaven and earth. This is another way of saying that the family is the origin from which we come to have children, brothers and sisters, husband or wife, and parents.

Only in such families can we find men and women who have accomplished mind-body unity. Only in such families can we find husbands and wives who have achieved the ideal unity between man and woman. Such families are the starting point for ideal parents. Here, too, we can see the creation of a model, centering upon true love, for the perfection of children, brothers and sisters, husband and wife, and parents.

It was God’s ideal of creation that this model be expanded not just to the level of country and world but to the entire cosmos. Thus, it is possible for a country to become a family-patterned unit that is larger than the family; the world can become a family-patterned unit that is larger than a country; and the cosmos can become a family-patterned unit larger than the world.

Accordingly; the models for children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, and parents-which represent the Four Great Realms of Heart-can be found in the family, in the nation, in the world and in the cosmos. Since a country contains many families and is larger than a family, families should exist for the sake of the country. Since the world contains many countries, countries should exist for the sake of other countries in the world. In similar fashion, the world must exist for the sake of the larger cosmos. Finally, the cosmos must exist for the sake of God, who is the greatest and most central existence.

Thus, when the standard of the perfected Four Great Realms of Heart within the family is projected onto higher and higher levels, the ideal of unity becomes a reality. On that basis, we can enter a cosmos of peace, happiness, and freedom. This is why we need, and need vitally, the unity of mind and body and family harmony centering on man and woman.

### God Is Also Growing

God, too, you see, has been growing. He created Adam and Eve as the substantiation of the inner son and daughter, brother and sister, husband and wife, and father and mother, who are all within His invisible heart. With Adam and Eve, God becomes a growing child, a brother and a sister, a husband and a wife, and finally a parent. By experiencing His second self, God establishes children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, and parents. He unites them in true love, and that brings to Him boundless joy

As well as to God, humans are designed to give joy to other humans. We are all in the position of someone else’s child, sibling, spouse, or parent. All human beings are members of families centering on the Four Great Realms of Heart, which make the family an underpinning to experience the ideal realm of heart. We all have a longing to form families, and the reason is that only those persons embodying the Four Great Realms of Heart can become ideal human beings, capable of making heartistic oneness with anyone in the Kingdom of Heaven, on earth or in the spiritual realm.

This explains the consummate human desire to achieve mind-body unity and husband-wife unity. Unless we achieve this all-important mind-body unity, we are unqualified in all other aspects and can develop no unity in the family either. We will fall away from our families, from our nation, from the world, from the universe, and from God Himself. Only through an utmost effort to accomplish mind-body unity and family unity can we achieve perfection.

We need to know that we ourselves are God’s representatives. We are in the position of a second God. All people, need to be working together to restore the family to a position of goodness and happiness.

We must become aware that the position of husband and wife is the union between a son of God and a daughter of God, the union of a brother and a sister within God’s family, and the union of a father and a mother. From the perspective of the Four Great Realms of Heart, the position of husband and wife is the absolute goal of human life, through which we can actually achieve the perfection of our individual selves.

The husband, therefore, stands in the position that enables the wife to receive an ideal son of God, to receive an older brother of heaven, to receive a husband of heaven, and to receive a father of heaven. The corresponding case is true of the wife in relation to her husband. Such husbands and wives bear children in a manner analogous to God’s creative act. They feel joy through experiencing their own growth in a substantial manner, through their children.

### Achieving a World of Peace

God’s love is absolute. Accordingly, it is a principle of heaven that the relationship of husband and wife cannot be broken. Fallen human society has lost sight of this principle and must be restored so that we may return to the original homeland. When such a restoration is accomplished, the Federation for World Peace will have fulfilled its purpose. At that point, the family-level heaven will become a country-level heaven; the country-level heaven will become a world-level heaven; and the world-level heaven will become the Kingdom of Heaven in the spirit world. This will be the point at which, at last, we will have achieved a world of peace.

The position at which a husband and wife marry and love each other with true love is the heavenly palace, which is the origin of the love, life, and lineage of God and humankind. It is the starting point for the ideal of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in the spirit world. When children who are the fruit of such true love achieve perfect unity as husbands and wives, they form families living in attendance to God. They constitute the base upon which peace and all ideals can be established. Then men and women, each representing one side, will perfect

Centering on true love, God perfects humankind as an existence of unlimited value. When that is done, God, too, will see the perfection of true love, the fulfillment of the family ideal, the fulfillment of His own ideal for the creation, and the cradle of eternal, ideal love. From the perspective of Adam and Eve’s family God is the first ancestor; Adam and Eve, the second ancestors; and their children, the third ancestors. A royalty centering on God. Adam and Eve’s family forms a royalty centering on God. God is in the position of grandparents; Adam and Eve, in the position of parents; and Adam and Eve’s offspring, in the position of children. In this manner, the original pattern of three generations within the family comes to be established. According to this original pattern, the grandparents are in the position of king and queen of the spirit world, representing God and the Kingdom of Heaven in the spirit world. They should be honored and respected just as we would respect God.

The parents are in the central position of king and queen of the family, representing the Kingdom of Heaven in the present world. They should be honored and respected just as we would the king and queen of the present world. The children are in the position of princes and princesses within the family. They should be loved as the ones standing to inherit the future Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in the spirit world. In this way, the members of Adam and Eve’s family were to form a royalty centering on God and were to live peacefully on earth until they moved into the heavenly, eternal world. Only in that heavenly world can human desire, freedom, aspiration, peace, and happiness attain complete fulfillment. This is the purpose which humankind must fulfill.

### A Philosophy and Conviction of Peace

As respected representatives from countries around the world, each of you has devoted an important period in your life to tireless efforts for the sake of your individual country and the world as a whole. As a result of your sacrificial efforts, humankind today enjoys conditions much improved over what existed in the past. Still, the ideal world of freedom and peace, which is the fervent desire of all the people of the world, has not yet been achieved. Even at this hour, countless people in many places around the world are dying from hunger and pain as a result of conflicts and struggles among peoples, races, and religions.

I have responded as a religious leader to God’s calling. I have lived my life for the purpose of saving humankind from war and sin, and of establishing a world of peace. Out of this calling, I have acquired a conviction and daily philosophy regarding peace, which is the Headwing Philosophy. In my address to you today, I have expressed a few elements of that conviction. The perspective of Godism and Headwing Philosophy is that world peace will be achieved neither by means of political ideologies oriented toward power nor by any argument based on physical force. Peace will only be accomplished when all men and women share in God’s love and truth and put these into practice-starting with the individual and expanding to the family, to the society, to the country, and to the world, thus forming one global, extended family.

From this perspective, the founding purpose of the Federation for World Peace is to promote education and practices related to true peace as a means to realize peace in various societies, nations, and the world. May all of us here perfect the family-level heaven and go on to play major roles in the accomplishment of world peace.

I pray that God’s blessing be upon each and every one of you.

## ADDRESS TO THE BLESSED CHILDREN

Translator – Peter Kim

[At the beginning True Father and True Mother were speaking with one another over the telephone and Peter Kim translated this to the blessed children:]

“You study hard and be united with Shin Won Nim and grow well, True Father says.”

Mother’s question to you is, who are you and what are you? Blessed children? What do blessed children look like? You must be different from the children in the world. You are different, right? (YES.) What is the difference? Does your appearance differ from theirs, or is it that your mind and heart are different? (HEART.) Your root is different. It is Shin Won Nim’s birthday today but from the age of Shin Won Nim up to the twelfth graders, all have been invited here today by True Mother. Do you know the reason? You must be the hope not only for the Unification Church but for the entire humankind. You must become the children whom God is able to trust and love the most. Therefore, you must love True Parents more than anyone else. All of your actions and thinking must stem from the same motive as that of True Parents.

Some of you older brothers and sisters are around the age of twenty years. Do you remember at what age Adam and Eve fell? (Fourteen.) In their teenage years. Once your age is over twenty you are considered an adult man or woman. Your age right now is the most precious and important age in your entire life. To be truly united with God and True Parents is the best thing for you at this age in your life. However, if you are not united with God and True Parents, Satan will invade your life. How many years has it been since True Parents declared the motto “True Parents and the Completed Testament Age”? (One.) What year did they proclaim that? 1993; so that means we are in the second year. You may not fully understand how precious and extraordinary this proclamation is. Mother wants you to understand why God couldn’t interfere, even though He knew that Adam and Eve might fall. Do you know? (Yes.) You understand the purpose of God’s creation, don’t you? You are in the very important position of having to fulfill the purpose of God’s creation. You are the only ones who are in the position to walk along with God and True Parents together in order to fulfill the purpose of God’s creation. That is the importance of your position right now. No matter what you may do or where you may go, your senses must always be focused towards True Parents and True Parents’ family. As long as you do that, all the foundations and victories that True Parents win will be bequeathed to you.

You may not fully understand right now, but True Parents’ life up until this point has been so difficult. As you grow, you will be able to understand these things more. The fact that True Parents declared “True Parents and the Completed Testament Age” means that True Parents have already set the victorious foundation of the completion of the Old and New Testament Ages. They have gone beyond those levels. Ever since True Parents declared “True Parents and the Completed Testament Age” the time is different. Beginning in 1993, many different phenomena have been taking place in major dispensational countries such as Korea, Japan and America. It is unlike anything that has occurred in the past.

You know that True Mother had a worldwide speaking tour under the banner of the Women’s Federation for World Peace last year. Mother traveled to forty different nations. When Mother went to Africa, she discovered that there were some missionaries and members who have been waiting for twenty years to meet True Parents in person. When Mother faced that reality on the continent of Africa, and saw all those bright young members with glowing eyes, Mother’s heart was touched. Without speaking, Mother could spiritually feel their hearts and they were able to communicate. That is what is known as the world of heart. While in Africa, True Mother felt that if all the blood, sweat and tears that True Parents have spent in this country of America in the last twenty years had been invested-or even one-tenth of that effort-in the continent of Africa, what result do you think we would expect by now? Much greater than we are harvesting in this country now, or less? (Greater.) That is what Mother felt also. Therefore, Mother truly felt sorry to all those African brothers and sisters. At the same time, Mother felt that all of our American brothers and sisters are greatly indebted to our members all over the world.

Do you understand that through God’s providential history, those who have been chosen by God must be willing to sacrifice themselves and even their nation for the sake of humanity? (Yes.) True Parents are the ones who have shown this kind of exemplary way throughout their entire lives. Because of this absolute standard that True Parents have set, and all the victories that they have won, Satan does not have anything to do with what True Parents are doing and saying at this point. Some of you are still young and growing, but once you become blessed and have children, you will understand what Mother is saying. When it comes to the meaning of love, love is experienced through raising your children. Love moves down from parents to children. Love travels downwards, but that does not mean that the parents do not love the first child. Your first child in your family received the full love of his or her parents when they were the only one. Then when the younger child comes, the parents give more love to the younger child, but that does not mean that the older child should feel bad. The older child must join the parents in giving love to the younger brother or sister. That is the way that love works.

We have learned from True Parents that we must live our lives for the sake of others. However, when it comes to the practice of this altruistic lifestyle, we often forget its application to our immediate family members. Suppose your elder sister is loving her younger brothers and sisters just as her parents are doing. Then they will follow their elder sister just as they follow their parents. Your parents did not have an easy life; they have been receiving a lot of persecution over the years. Also, they have been taught by the True Parents all these years, but we cannot say that they have been successful in completely resembling True Parents’ lifestyle. If your parents had truly followed in True Parents’ footsteps, exactly as True Parents had expected them to do, then the situation in America and this world would be different by now. For example, there is one drop of water on a steep mountain and it joins with many drops of water and collects to form a small pond and eventually a stream and river. Where do they all flow? To the ocean. Mother is making this analogy: the first generation, your parents, were like individual drops of water on a steep mountain. If they had truly resembled True Parents from the beginning, each of them, as a perfect couple and family collecting together would have formed a stream, river and eventually an ocean to save all humankind. A drop of water or a small stream may not be too strong, but once all of this water joins together it can form a large ocean, and nothing can stop the power of an ocean. Each one of you have that power within yourself.

Our destiny is set already. Do you feel that? (Yes.) If Mother were to explain the long history, even from the time of World War II, it would take too long, so she will skip over it with the assumption that you already understand. Its conclusion is that once you are totally united with True Parents, your life is wide open. You won’t have to deal with any outside persecution, because you will be standing upon the victorious foundation which True Parents have laid. When True Father left for Korea, he gave instructions to the True Family, including True Mother. From Hyo Jin Nim down to Kwon Jin Nim, all are participating in the proclamation of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age to 100 major universities in this country. As your parents and your elder brothers and sisters may understand, in looking at the history of America we see that in the 1960s young people were seeking love and ideals on their own. However, they did not find either but ended up with drugs, alcohol and free sex. During the years that have followed, there have been serious-minded young people who have begun, especially in recent times, to think more sincerely about life. All those young people of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s tried every possible thing they could think of until there was nothing else left for them to try. Then the 1990s came and True Parents declared the women’s era and even the United Nations declared the Year of Women. The world was following the lead of True Parents and at the same time the young people of the world, particularly young females, began to follow this more reasonable direction.

After the worldwide speaking tour that True Mother gave, she came to the conclusion that our time has now come. What is our destiny at this point? First of all, mothers and children must unite together and then restore the father in each family. Eventually each family must be united with True Father and True Parents. That is the way the entire five billion people of the world will have hope to be restored. All throughout the country, in the major universities, True Mother and True Children are giving this proclamation at each campus. Even today one of the True Children is speaking at the University of Illinois. True Mother was on the road up until yesterday, covering all the venues assigned to her. As of yesterday Mother completed nine major universities and tomorrow she will speak at Yale University. This proclamation, in this particular time period, is giving hope and light to those young people all over the campuses in this country who do not know what to do and where to go. It is our mission to go out and reach them, every single person on the campuses. They are the ones who are still longing for parental love, True Love. They are the ones who are waiting and searching. We have to give them this proclamation, so that there is absolutely nobody in this country who says they did not hear about it. Your elder brothers and sisters, the True Children, are going around the country giving this proclamation, which is a very difficult job. The first step for you is to be absolutely united with them and give them all the support, love and prayer that you have. You must also go ahead and create the right kind of atmosphere so that you will be able to teach your friends.

Spring is just around the corner. What is the meaning of spring? Particularly the spring of 1994 is special. This spring is special, because as soon as you see the seed you will see the results there, ready to harvest. This is the time, a different time. If you try you will realize that you can experience this different time period. Blessed children are the true seeds at this time, but if you become a weak and stale seed which cannot germinate and produce fruit right away, then from God’s point of view you may be replaced by healthier and stronger seeds from outside, who will sprout the results. In order to maintain your seed intact, healthy and strong you must be able to cut off all the bacteria that might damage your seed. Do you understand? It is true that your parents didn’t fulfill their responsibilities in terms of being united with True Parents fully and expediting the providence of God. However, you must be different. Throughout history always the second stage has been important. The second generation must be stronger than the first generation. Only then will the third generation become perfect and will we have hope for the future. Do you follow True Mother? (Yes.) Therefore, you must be able to create your position or your place which is closest to the True Parents. You are the ones who have to create that. Only if you secure that position within yourselves will you be instructed and led in spirit by True Parents directly.

Before the Fall of man, don’t you think that Adam and Eve communicated with God directly? Did they or didn’t they? (They did.) They had a channel open to God, and you are in the same position. Nobody else will be able to help you or set you there. You by yourselves have to create that internally and externally so you can directly communicate with God and True Parents. If you truly wish to demonstrate the difference between the Unification Church second generation and the world at large, the elder brothers and sisters among you must be able to offer your heartistic care and love to your younger brothers and sisters. This will enable them to learn from you and practice the same love and care for their juniors. This is the way we will be able to attain total unity among our second generation, and that will make the difference between the Unification Church second generation and the people of the world. If you practice this principle, then whenever True Mother comes to America, she may invite you and guide you directly as she is doing today.

Mother feels sorry that this room is not big enough to set up tables and chairs for each one of you; instead, we had to sit and have a buffet breakfast. Are you still happy? (Yes.) In the future there are much greater and more joyful things awaiting us. Mother’s conclusion is that you are truly lucky boys and girls. (Applause.) You can never imagine how much True Parents love you. True Parents always want to see in person the shape and faces of you children growing beautifully as you are now. Therefore, we must pray together so that our True Father and True Mother will live with us for another 100 years, so that they can watch us growing beautifully. Will you do that? (Yes.) Would you like Mother to sing for you? (Yes.-Applause.)

Although we don’t want to believe it, it is a fact that True Mother is now the grandmother of many grandchildren. Therefore, she may not remember all of the lyrics, but still you want to hear? (Yes.) Today is Shin Won Nim’s birthday, and the song Mother would like to sing for you is often sung by True Father. It is a children’s song. This song is about a particular flower, usually blooming on the mountainsides of Korea, and it is commonly called grandmother flower. Even before the flower is blooming, the stem is always bent like an old grandmother’s back. The lyrics of the song say, “Even when you are young, you are still bent, grandmother, when you are old, still your back is bent, grandma flower.”

This spring of 1994 is special. How special? As soon as we sow our seeds, we can expect the results. In order to give more blessing from True Parents to you in this special spring season, True Mother is giving you a special gift. Only Blessed children and teachers, not parents, stand up. Please come to True Mother one by one and as you receive the special gift from True Mother give your father’s name. The special gift from True Mother is the symbol that you will never forget today, the day that you came to East Garden by True Mother’s invitation on Shin Won Nim’s birthday and Hyun Jin Nim’s wedding anniversary and received this special blessing from True Mother. Do you understand? (Yes.) Please begin to approach True Mother and give your father’s name. You must use both hands in order to receive from True Mother.

## THE FOCAL POINT OF SETTLEMENT WHICH GOD DESIRES

By Fami1yfed June 27, 2018 June 27, 2018 Speeches of Rev Sun Myung Moon 1994

## REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

### March 6, 1994
Belvedere, International Training Center
Translator – Sang Kil Han

The topic of Father’s sermon this morning is Ha Neul Yi Baraneun Ahn-Chak Eui Chochum, “The Focal Point of Settlement Which God Desires.” Can you make out the meaning of this? As you all know, this year’s motto is “Safe Settlement.” We can even call it “Safe and Cozy Settlement.” To illustrate this, we can cite the example of a tree. The seed of a tree falls or drops on the ground and then settles down. Roots slowly begin to take shape and it begins to grow. We have many different kinds of trees-pines, evergreens, etc. Do you believe that all the different kinds of trees came from one seed or from two seeds? Perhaps it was from one seed. All the varieties within a species come originally from one seed. This seed will eventually grow into a big tree and the tree will produce yet another seed, and then the cycle will be repeated.

When God starts a particular species, where would He like to have it settle down? He would like to have it settle down in optimum conditions-where there are the best soil, nutrients, climate, etc. The Creator must have chosen the best seed in the whole world to put in the best available soil. If God gave birth to a man who was to be the ancestor or seed of humankind, God certainly would have liked to have planted the man in the best soil, the best world imaginable. He would have put man in the optimum place. We can see that if man is the best of God’s creation, then he represents the entire creation, all the other things, and to love him means to love everything else as well. The best seed of all of God’s creation is nothing other than humankind.

When we say humankind, of course, there are two kinds: men and women. Between men and women, who will become the focal point? To God, who is the focal point? Plus or minus? Take a seed, for example. It is composed of plus and minus elements all in one set. That small seed explains fully the origin or basis of the entire universe. Then what is the plus? The plus is that part which is connected directly to the vertical. What is minus? That is the one which is connected horizontally. It is actually rather silly to argue which is the more important, because with the vertical line alone, there is no horizontal deployment. Subject alone or object alone means nothing. There is meaning only when subject and object join together, when they are clasped like hands. Those persons who comprise the left hand may regard the clasp as the center of his being and those who comprise the right hand will regard it in the same way. This will determine the focal point. However, when it comes to which one happens to be plus and which one happens to be minus, if you have two hands clasped, the plus represents the right hand and the minus the left.

In the Western world, this is not clear or distinct. How are you supposed to sleep? With your upside up or your upside down? Stomach up or back up? There is always inside and outside and the other sides, but that which is more important, the focal point, is always the inside. The way we greet people in the Orient is from up to down, bowing like so. That represents the vertical. Western people extend their hands horizontally.

Once plus and minus join and movement takes place, then the center becomes very important. If you move centered on a horizontal axis, it becomes a catastrophe. It just does not work. When we are in motion, we should be connected to the vertical axis and then go around horizontally, revolving around that vertical axis. The beginning and development of a desirable, wonderful culture for human history should be the same. It should have an axis, a focus. Focusing on that center, horizontal movement should become bigger and bigger and bigger.

In this world today there are many, many different nations. All desire their own country to be the center or horizontal axis and expect the whole world to revolve around them. America wishes the whole world would turn centering on it as the axis. Korea feels the same way. No matter how small a country may be, they do not think of themselves as small. Rather, they think of themselves as the center of the world. You, too, have this in common, whether you are a man or a woman, very handsome or beautiful or not so much so, which is usually the case. (Laughter.) All of you desire the whole world and all people to center upon him or herself.

Turning around expands you, makes you bigger. In order to become bigger, you must turn around and be in motion. Inhaling, exhaling, you name it-everything may appear to be still, but it is not still. All things are moving. Even in still water, there is a wave or motion of some sort. They are in motion in order to connect vertical and horizontal motion. This is what all motion is symbolic of.

Which is more important-more precious-the vertical or horizontal focus? It is always more precious to stand rightly focused on the vertical. Then everything else can follow, but only after we are properly focused. When we look at our faces, we can see many horizontal lines. Of course, the eyebrows are very important; so are the eyes. But which is more important-the eyes or the nose? (Laughter.) You may say, “Well, I do not get it. The eyes are far more important than anything else.” But of the two, the nose is more precious. Why? Because that is the organ which connects to life. Without breathing, can you exist for even one minute? The eyes are very important, but even if you closed your eyes for one year, it would not affect or imperil life itself. Without breathing, after five minutes at most, that’s it! (Laughter.)

Father has observed that when women put on makeup, they pat color everywhere else, but no one seems to make up the nose to emphasize it! (Laughter.) The vertical is so precious and God made it so precious that we do not have to care about it much. The woman already knows that it is vertical and it is already taken care of, so she builds her cosmetics around her nose.

The nose is a vertical organ among human beings and men have an additional vertical organ. What is that? It is man’s sexual organ. Why is it so precious? Because it is connected to history. Generation after generation are connected by that vertical organ. It stands in a vertical line from way up in heaven to down below. Isn’t this true? Can even American women recognize this? Without this teaching, you get confused. Now you know why man is more important. Vertical and horizontal are equal only when they join together. If you fail in that, you are not equal. Of course, Father knows many things that American women do not know. For instance, the vertical alone is not so stable. It has to join with the horizontal before it can be stable. Look at a tree, for example. If a tree stood by the trunk alone, it would be very unstable. A small wind would knock it down. But the roots and the branches are horizontal, and they all balance to support it. When this focal point happens to be high, it represents the enormous area of the horizontal.

The ideal of creation is exactly that-all things have this plus and minus element. That is how God created it. God represents the plus and minus throughout the entire creation. God Himself has plus and minus elements within Him. He wants to be in motion. If there is no movement, eternity is not possible. Always and for certain, without fail, everything that exists in the universe is always on the move. Isn’t that true? Nothing sits still. Even the solar system is not still. It moves around, and while it moves around, things revolve centering on a vertical point. The solar system is far beyond our imaginations. There are hundreds of billions of solar systems within the universe. Can you describe how big that is? We are talking about the universe from the human point of view. Look at bacteria, small microbes. From their standpoint, human beings are like a huge cosmos! Isn’t that true? To travel from one cell to another might feel like it takes a thousand years, if the microbe lasts so long. But everything has something in common. Everything has these same elements, down to the tiniest seed, and this is deployed everywhere. There are no exceptions.

If you examine it carefully, you see that an embryo has this. Right there, standing on both plus and minus, is an embryo. (Father draws a diagram.) Of course, it is like so, not in a flat dimension, but on a tilted dimension. That automatically represents four different directions, not two. If the seeds are like so, then when this part right here comes out, it is facing a 90 degree angle. That means a different direction. Why is that? It is in order to maintain life’s balance. The four directions are north, south, east, and west.

This represents the entire composition of the universe, all created beings. We, too, are composed of plus and minus elements, male and female. A man and woman coming together will resemble this for the first time. This represents the conscience and the body. The conscience and body, plus and minus, should be thus. With this view of being equipped with these dual elements, then for the first time, you are able to reproduce. By her mind and body completely becoming one and resembling God, then this woman is ready to receive the male. Then from their powerful union, reproduction occurs.

We can see why now, at this time in history, the West with all its brilliant establishment must go forward to the so-called Pacific civilization. Why? Because the Asian culture is vertical. What is the rule? Should the vertical line move towards the horizontal one, or should the horizontal line move towards where the vertical is and join it there harmoniously? Thus men living in America do not like American women. Their tendency is to go far to the East and find Oriental women. Conversely, Oriental men want to travel far and find Western women. The right hand and the left hand, the man and woman, clasp and then they start dancing, revolving.

Have you been to Disney World where there is a small world display? (Laughter.) When you dance, do you want to dance like that small world or do you want to dance so that the whole world is involved? (Whole world. Father laughs.) Not just one race answered that way, but all people. No matter where you come from, it is the same.

With this view in mind, Father encourages international marriages. It is not just a whim-it is certainly not just Father’s whim. You must make a big movement. You should not marry locally, but rather go from the South Pole to the North Pole, from the Far East to the Far West. This is best explained by migratory birds and animals. If even the birds of the world know this and human beings don’t, then human beings are not a species which will excel! The salmon travels thousands of miles in salt water, then comes back to the fresh water and spawns. Why? It is in order to maintain the species, to better the species, if possible. The swallow always comes to the cold, northern countries in the summertime. They could save themselves the trouble of traveling all the way up, yet they come and then they go back. They could find everything in the South, yet they come to the North. Why? It is to maintain and better their species. If they feed on an insect in a hot climate, that insect expands only a little bit. The one in the cold climate expands more. Trees in the cold climate have many, many rings; whereas in the South, in the hot climate, the trees may grow faster but they do not have so many year rings. They do not last as long as the trees in the North. Without being taught, all nature knows and operates according to these principles.

When it comes to mankind, it is not recommended for a man to marry locally. If so, your offspring cannot be guaranteed to be of an excellent breed. This is the science of eugenics. Men should find their mates from far, far away. Those of you who are married to someone from another nation, raise your hands. Does that mean you have done well without knowing it? (Yes! Laughter.)

If you are accustomed to eating only what you get from a hot climate, you will have a loose bowel if you come to a cold climate and begin to eat their native foods. You might get a stomach ache. If you come from North to South, or go South from the North, at first you may have indigestion. Likewise, if you marry internationally, at first you may also have a lot of indigestion! You don’t get along so well in the beginning. That is not bad-it is quite normal. Once you get over it, though, then there is absolutely no problem. No matter what you eat, you have no more stomach ache and the healthier you become! And the offspring coming out of that wedlock will fit in with a man or woman from any locality, any region. That means you are collecting and gathering very good seeds. With this perspective, you can safely say that the offspring of the Unification Church will eventually influence and encompass the world in a godly way because their seeds are better than others. Do you follow? (Yes.)

Do you know about the crane? The crane migrates a far distance and goes without food for a long time. They are very long-lived. They travel far in order to improve the offspring. Some species of crane travel from Asia to the Himalayas in order to give birth to excellent offspring. In order to influence the whole world in a godly way, we must really travel and do the work. This is not a small country, yet we have to travel it from end to end. Father knows that statistically we have relatively few numbers of Unification Church members in comparison to the rest of the world. Yet we have all traveled so much. This would be the record-breaking group of travelers in the whole world and in history! (Laughter.) Is that true? Father is sure that most Unification Church members have been in all 50 states at one point or another and you come from all over the world. Some man in Texas might never have traveled beyond a radius of one hundred miles in his whole life-never been to the next city! (Laughter.) Even some animals travel more than that, crossing international borders.

If Father continues on like this, we could go on all day and still not have enough time. But Father is busy and there is not enough time. At least we know now that everything is divided into two parts; nothing is alone. Your mind and body must become united; one.

What is the topic of Father’s sermon this morning? Does anyone remember? (Laughter.) “The Focal Point of Settlement Which God Desires.” God has made so much movement, exceptionally so. Do you think God wants to have some rest? After you have worked so hard, for a day or a week or a year, don’t you want to rest? Don’t you think God wants to rest? (Yes.) Where can He rest? In this huge, immense area, where is the most comfortable place for Him to rest? Right at the center. This is the axis; then there is the top, which is a very fine point on the axis, and below here it is dark. When God sits right here, He can spin around so fast He does not feel it. He can sit comfortably. When He sits here, then He can see everything. If man wants to rest, then we can reason so must God. This shaft or axis will turn around in a fraction of a second. One revolution, or going around one time, between this one and this one makes a huge difference, doesn’t it? (Father draws on the diagram.) This travels so much distance, whereas this one does not. Since all things want to become comfortable, everything that exists is focused on this focal point. We all want to be comfortable, don’t we? A wheel has to travel so much, but the shaft of the wheel does not travel at all. We can safely conclude that God sits and exists in such a place.

A very important point here is that no matter how big and wonderful a wheel is, unless this central point is fixed, unless it is really steadily settled, the wheel will just fly off. The faster it goes, the faster it will fly off. So the focal point of settlement becomes very important. We have to constantly look for it.

The Unification Church is immense. What is the focal point? (True Parents.) We always have a central focus. Do we always want to go close to the center focus or far away from it? (Close.) Why? Because you want to settle down, too. If you feel, “Oh, I do not care about this. I simply couldn’t care less,” that should not be in this lay-out. You will see the plus on this side, the minus on this side. It is all composed of plus and minus elements. When Father is here, everybody wants to come here, but that is not desirable. They should not neglect this other area over here. They come and then they must go back, but then they must come back to the center again. The ones who are very passionate to be here should not say, “Oh, I do not want to go over there,” and those who are not so passionate to come shouldn’t say, “Oh, I want to stay where I am.” That is not good. Then you become stagnant and that which becomes stagnant dies. It comes to a state of paralysis where it cannot feel anything anymore.

You are here and you are very happy, but you must go over there, too. While you are on your way, before you even get there, you want to go back again. No sooner do you get here than you come back because you miss it so much. You can focus upon that point and come back and forth to it as you wish. That focal point is so important to all of us.

Should the focus move around and change positions or should it stay where it is forever? It should stay forever. In history, kings and queens built their palaces strongly, out of brick and concrete, in order to last thousands of years. Our focus point also must be built very strongly. Should the focus be shadowy or should it be brilliant? It should be brilliant.

Now you know what the focal point is. Who wants to be this focal point of settlement? All of you. “I want to be that point and reside in that point.” But then there are qualifications. A focal man and focal woman should have a certain prescribed quality. God has made it that way. There is such a thing as holding records in the Olympics, for instance. Not everyone is the same. The ones who have the best record are the ones who can become the focus point. Even seconds count. In one second, one can stay on or go off focus and affect one’s record. The best record is the focus point.

Do you want to be the local focus or the world focus? Do you want to be a focus for a lifetime or a focus for the length of history? You know all the right answers! (Father and members laugh.) We all want the focus, which is eternal and which is the highest. Who wants that? “I” want it. Each one of us wants it. Isn’t that true? There are no exceptions. Some may not answer, but they still want it. If his spouse is the focus, then he is constantly ready to go there, even though he moves around. He may go around attending his business, but he will always go back and he will continue doing that until the next time.

This focal point of settlement which God desires-what is it? It is none other than “me.” Is there any such person who does not want to become this focal point of safe, cozy settlement? Everyone wants to be that. Then even though this is big and huge and immense, there is no place you are not connected. You are connected to every part and every place and every element of plus and minus and all areas. It may be vague, but we cannot deny that such a description is true. We all want it. A man wants to be a king and not just a small, local king, but a king who would command the whole world. Likewise, women wish to be queens. How can you actually become one? When you say, “I am the focus point,” what are your qualifications for it? God’s expectation of such queens is that they have connections with all women. There are mountainsides which are so uncomfortable, no one wants to go there. If you go there and make connections, then you are the type of queen, the type of focal point God desires. We all want to be the center focus point, but centering on what? What is so important about that focus point?

How can I go around the world is such a short time when we have so many things to do and so many restrictions? When can I do all that? Even if you spend one minute per person, there are five billion persons in the world. No matter how long you live, one lifetime is not enough. It is not possible according to time. You cannot do it by spending a lot of money, nor can you do it by knowledge, nor by might, nor power. With what are you going to cover all that ground? Only with True Love. But have you seen it? Where is True Love? Where is the naked place of that True Love? Where does that naked place of True Love come from? Does it come from within yourself or from God? (God.)

Have you seen True Love? Have you experienced True Love? Have you exerted True Love? We all talk about God, but has anyone of us ever seen God? How can we know God? If you move so fast that even God has trouble catching up with you, God will say, “Slow down a little bit.” Then you know there is God! (Laughter.) Do you understand? (Yes.) Your mind is involved, too. If you are working so hard your mind says, “Slow down a little!” and God is really trying to catch up with you and still cannot, then God will say, “Slow down a little, will you?” Then you know, “Oh, there is God.” If one is ready to die, if he really plunges into death and jumps right into the fire, then if someone pulls him out, he knows that is God. When you are ready to go through the barrier of death for righteousness, God will intervene: “No, you are not to die. You are to live.” Then you know God. We must all experience that in our lifetime. The famous quote from the Bible is that those who are willing to die will live. All the five billion person population of the world will drop out, but one will keep going so fast and God will stop him. That is a whole new world, compared to which the world we are living in is as nothing. That is the borderline.

In the immense universe, like thin air, would there be a world which is dark or not? What is your guess? So long as there are stars and the stars are emanating light, there is some light. Even if you go higher and higher, still it is not dark because there are so many stars and some stars are very bright. There is no really dark place. There is always some light. There is one place which is more light and more bright than any other place. There is such a place. Satan prefers the darker place. He does not like the light because he sees himself. Our consciences are always seeking a lighter and lighter place, always seeking the light. We must try hard lest our bodies create a shadow. We want the light.

(Father refers to the diagram.) Where do you want to be? (In the center.) Do you want to ascend right to the center or do you want to go horizontally here and then go to the center? (Right to the center.) Well, that is what everyone desires because they all want efficiency. They want to go without any toil. But then, this world is so thin, only one line. Thus the right answer here is that we must connect as broadly as possible with the horizontal world before we go to the center.

When we see God, God is huge, immense. He encompasses the whole universe. Does God love an individual or does God love the whole universe? Does God love a country or the whole world? (The whole world.) Does He love a race or does He love a country? Does He love a family or love a race? Does he love a family or an individual? (A family.) We all know that God’s love is always higher, broader, encompassing more.

Have you ever felt “I represent the whole world, heaven and earth”? Have you ever thought that you were representing the whole of heaven and earth? How many times a year do you feel like that? It is quite a serious question. Which should we think about more seriously-a nation or heaven and earth? Should an individual think more seriously about himself or should he think about the whole country? This is one of the basic teachings of the Unification Church. We are taught by Father that the individual should yield for the sake of the family. The family comes first; then the individual. He must sacrifice and invest. Investing means that when we sacrifice, we do not even mind it. The race sacrifices for the country, the nation for the world, the world for the universe, the universe for the cosmos, and the cosmos for God.

To live for the sake of myself as an individual-is that to love God? (No.) We can serve God, then come down from the larger one to the smaller and smaller one in order to really substantially love the smaller one. God goes around here on the shaft or axis. God occupies this place. Even though He is all alone in the whole being of His immense creation, He knows and feels He is the center of the whole universe. He must become, and we must become, the center of the whole world.

Starting from the whole universe, the whole cosmos and world, we must become the center of the nation, the race, the family, and the clan. We must even become the center of the individual. God created Adam and Eve with that in mind. We must understand that is the ideal of creation. God was to be the focal point of Adam and Eve, and they were to have a family and clan and then it would extend into the nation and further to the whole world and universe. All creation would be connected through them. God created Adam and Eve for this.

Here are Adam and Eve and that is the focus. In this sense, Adam and Eve are a microcosm, a small cosmos, representing the whole universe and all the elements in it. All the elements are here. Isn’t that true? Isn’t Adam’s and Eve’s focus the whole creation? (Yes.) Within you are the eight steps. Maybe no one knows it as well as Father does because we are too small, but if you enlarge yourself, you will find these eight steps. You, like Father, are in that position. We all have these same elements, even though we are smaller than the universe. We all want to represent God, too, don’t we? That means everyone wants to be a king or queen and rightfully so. We are meant to be so.

Do you see? Sitting, standing, walking, we must always feel this. We represent all eight steps of the universe. We represent God. “I represent the universe, I represent the world, the nation, the clan, the race, and the family.” If the fall hadn’t taken place, we would have had a relationship with God like the body with the mind. How close are the body and the mind? They are so close. This world and I would have been like a plus and a minus, like the mind and the body. So we all have the desire to occupy that area. We want to own and have control over that territory, don’t we? Our mind is so high and lofty, even reaching to God. Horizontally, you want to expand your territory, your influence and ownership, and vertically, you want to reach the highest circle or the highest point. Why? That is because we have this focus point. My body should come here and then go out and then come here again. We must do that. Our mind and body should make that movement, that motion.

How can we do that? To traverse the universe would take thousands of years, even if we went at the speed of light. How can we physically do that? The way to do that is none other than our families. When we say “settlement,” there is the settlement of an individual, a family, a nation, and also the settlement of the whole universe. If the fall had not taken place, it would not have been so complicated. All you would have to do is to settle in your family and everything else would be automatic. You wouldn’t even have to think about it; it would already have been done. Horizontally, you would be able to go at any time to the other end. You could go anywhere and everywhere so long as another human being lives there.

But here we must take heed. We must be very careful. If we prize the individual more and take the individual more seriously than the family, destruction will follow. If we take the family more seriously than we do the nation, etc.-that is out of the order of the universe. If you think the family is more important than the nation, destruction is coming. We must be most careful. Otherwise, God cannot move freely. Do you follow? (Yes.)

The spirit world is our native land. That native land is beyond time and space. You can go anywhere instantly, even millions and billions of miles. You surpass time. You can travel millions and billions of miles in a fraction of a second. In comparison to the whole universe, your family is like one small cell of a body. How many trillions of cells does your body have? The cosmos is the same. If you are not accustomed to living this way on earth, even if we go to a fantastic place in the spirit world, we cannot travel freely. We are always blocked. We need a family here, but to train ourselves to adapt to that world to which we are about to go forever, we must realize that small family doesn’t matter much. “The whole deployment of the cosmos is my family.” Then you are free to go anywhere and you are welcome anywhere. Do you understand?

Thus it becomes so important that the individual lives for the sake of the family, the family lives for the sake of the clan, the clan lives for the sake of the race, the race for the nation, the nation for the world, and the world for the sake of the cosmos. If we are accustomed to that way of life, once we go to the spirit world in eternal life, to our own native land, then there is absolutely no problem going anywhere and coming back, easily and safely. That is why Father is stressing this point. Do you follow? (Yes.)

Once we reach that eternal realm of the spirit world, we can measure it by unit and our family is that unit. One meter, one centimeter, one kilometer, etc. There is such a thing as units there, and this is a unit. The family is a millimeter. You can travel this one millimeter anywhere in the spirit world if you fit to that. If we are accustomed to living in this way and are well-trained in sacrificing for the larger whole, then once we go to the spirit world, we can go in and out of God’s mind and body and come back as many times and as fast as we can. No obstacle will block us.

At that time, no matter which part of God you go to, God will welcome you. “Oh, you are back again! Oh, you are gone again! Oh, you are back again!” So we are going to liberate this family, this clan, this nation and the whole universe and even liberate God from injustice.

Father has said over and over again to us that the family is the training ground through which we can adapt to that immense world and country or native land of spirit world. We will have a free pass there if we have the right orientation. Here we think, “Oh, my family, my family,” but once we reach there, we must be able to love the children of the village, even sacrificing our own children for them. We must not just hug our own children and not care about the rest of the children of that village. That is what God desires. That is God’s love. He sacrifices those closest to Him. He sacrifices His closest son and closest daughter. This is God’s ideal. This is where many of our Unification Church members are in a dilemma. “I must save my own family before I pay attention to my nation. I have no room to think about my nation; just my family.” Yet we know Father is talking about serving the world. No matter how many times Father says it, it goes in one ear and out the other. “I don’t care about the world! My family and I have a lot of serious problems-how can we save this world?” Should you think like that? No.

We all want to stand on God’s side. If we want to stand on His side for certain and be accepted by God, then we should be ready to give up even our loving husband. At the risk of his life, we should care more about our nation and the world. Where is your mind? Is your mind on your family or is your mind focused on saving this nation? What about the world and what about God? We must move and we must work. Before we feel hunger, we must work. From the very early times when Father literally had no money to buy a bowl of rice until the present, Father has not worried much about how to support his family. Yet Father’s sons and daughters never went hungry. They hardly even get sick! This is no exaggeration. Death and misfortune come and try to work on Father’s family and they eventually have to say, “Oh, I made a mistake in coming here,” and leave a blessing behind instead.

This man may always be unhappy because the world does not support and help him even though he is doing such wonderful and important work, but this man does not understand Father’s secret. If he knew, he would not think that way. There is nothing to worry about. The only thing to worry about is, “Am I living for the sake of God? Am I truly living for the sake of the world?” God made this universe. We see the universe; it is very real. How can He leave us starving? If we leave everything and do not even worry about it, but go to where we should be, then God is free to do anything to help and comfort us. In the satanic world, we might get help or we might not, but if we are ahead of the five billion person population of the world in doing God’s work, then God is free to do anything for us. Do you understand? Within Satan’s realm, God cannot intervene, but once you go over Satan’s territory and realm, God is free to support you.

Living with God, loving God, being in partnership with Him-what else do you need? All of a sudden you may feel that your path, your partnership with God is being blocked by your family, your children, your clan is holding you back. Your nation, too, is blocking you from becoming a partner with God because Americans always think about America. They cannot very well go over the country of America to the world. They think it is too much, but you must jump beyond that. You must give it up and go. If you can do it here, you can do it here. It is always close; it is not far. Then you can reach here and expand upward rapidly.

It is God’s ideal right here, the plus position, and making it happen and doing it is the minus and they meet right here. Because of the fall, these walls between the individual and the family, the family and the nation, the nation and the world, the world and cosmos are very much there. Once we knock these down, we can go back and forth with God as our partner.

Father has knocked down these walls. The focus of settlement which God desires is True Parents, Adam and Eve. This is the meaning of the focus point of settlement. After all these things have been explained and done, then God can find this settlement point and every element can find this settlement and resting point. Once this is done, it can deploy very quickly to the whole world. Do you follow? (Yes.)

The Completed Testament Era is when God intervenes and does the work together with man. It is faster, it is very possible at all times. To be Blessed means True Parents are the trunk and we are the branches. We are grafted onto and become part of the original branch which came out of the trunk. The central root, the central trunk resembles God’s original body. Adam and Eve were to fulfill that kind of position, but they lost it all, so the world does not have that kind of root. That is why the world is as it is today. How can we restore that? We must do it through indemnity. Indemnity means that those in the Abel position take a sacrificial position; then they are going up to higher and higher levels. This is the Unification Church’s hope and righteous cause.

Satan made many wars. Father made it up this ladder of sacrifice through every war, through the individual, family, society, nation, and world wars. It was at a high cost. You have to ride on the back of the Parents. You must connect to the True Parents. Therefore, this is the very focal point where the whole thing is connected, where the blossoms and flowers of God’s ideal will begin to bloom. Amen.

This blonde-haired daughter can be wed to a black brother and still they will be healthy and give birth to a lot of healthy offspring, and they will live happily ever after in the spirit world. We must learn that if we are white, we must love blacks more than we love whites, and vice versa. Do you understand? (Yes.)

When Father came to America. Father never thought, “Oh, this is a foreign country.” Father thought, “This is my country. I will plant the seeds of true love here in this country. I am the ancestor of this country.” From the first day, Father thought like that. He never thought, “I am going to bring something back with me from America or learn something here.” From the first day, rather than take anything from this country, Father thought to give to it. We all know and Father knows that there is no visitor who comes to America with this determination to give. Everyone wants to take from it, like a beggar. The owner is not a beggar. He owns it, so why should he take? He wants to invest, to give, to revive and reconnect it.

In the beginning, of course, that was too much for people to comprehend, but today there are people who do understand what Reverend Moon meant to do in this country. In each and every area, they know that Reverend Moon helped them. So Father must leave this country, after having done all these things, and arrive back in the East. His name will go out to the world faster that way. Now the people are becoming aware, “Oh, we need Reverend Moon. He is a genuine, bona fide leader. He is a beneficiary.” Then Father must leave. If he lingers on, it is not so good. If Father stays, it will slow down. If he leaves, it multiply much faster. This is why yesterday in the leaders’ meeting, Father said he might not be here again so often or stay too long. Father has a foundation everywhere. He can certainly come back to America, but Father does not feel he wants to linger here because it is a better country. No. Father has done enough in America. He has fulfilled his portion of responsibility towards America. Father came to America in order to serve it, forsaking his own native country and village, forsaking Asia itself because he took America’s fate more seriously than that of his own kinfolk. Now they have come to understand this, so it is time for him to return and take care of his own people. Therefore, Father proclaimed Tribal Messiahship.

We all know the importance of the unification of North and South Korea and nothing short of Father doing it himself will bring this about. Father was the catalyst for this conference between delegations from the North and the South. Father made the arrangements. In the unending war of discord in the Middle East, Father must be the key to solve it. Father knows the root of the problem and the solution; therefore, no one but Father can do it.

Now that we have grown up so much, yesterday all the leaders pledged that they will carry on what Father has left to us in Father’s absence. Father instructed them yesterday that those who have never been through 40-day training should do it by all means. That will really give a person a good start. Once he has that, he can do just as Father has done-go around the whole country witnessing to the people day and night. Then America will revive.

(Father speaks in English.) Mother must unite Cain and Abel. This is the ultimate course of restoration, so Mother will do a campus lecture tour. Colleges are in the Cain position and high schools are in the Abel position. Mother will do a tour of another hundred universities. This is Mother’s mission-to unite the children.

On the other hand, Father will go back. Father has done everything here, so Father will return to the Orient and recreate the Eve country. Eve was created from Adam by God. Father is the Adam, so he must go recreate the Eve. North and South Korea are divided now. Why is that? It happened right after World War II. At that time, Eve was in the bride’s position. A bride needs a bridegroom. At that time in history, Korea was for the first time an independent country. With that kind of foundation, the Christian churches represented the bride. They were waiting and waiting for the Messiah to come, but because of their arrogant pride, they rejected him when he came. Through them, the world could have been united centering on Christianity. There was the bridegroom and the bride. The family could have come. The world was ready. God prepared all that after World War II, but the Christian churches representing the bride’s position chased out the true bridegroom, just as in the first family, Eve chased out the real Adam. The worldwide level bride chased out the worldwide level bridegroom and Father had to go into the wilderness. In preparation for the Lord of the Second Advent, an independent culture was prepared in order to give him to the world. But they chased the bridegroom out, and Satan occupied the Christian background and culture. He took over the whole world, claiming ownership, and the Lord of the Second Advent was chased into the wilderness. There were no children, no tribe, no nation, no world.

Think about God’s position then. He was all alone in the wilderness. This was God’s position, following Reverend Moon out alone into the wilderness. Satan always put up obstacles before me, trying to tear me down, for to him I am the most fearsome guy. The whole individual base, the family base, the national base, and the world base were completely taken away in the rejection of the one Reverend Moon. How miserable God’s position was at that time. This was God’s situation. From there, we started climbing up. It took fifty years. Rev. Moon is a smart guy. He had to infiltrate Satan’s world, using his clever brain. He had to live out those steps, one by one. For 40 years, Father cultivated everywhere in the world. No matter what Satan’s power, he cannot erase, cannot change Reverend Moon’s power. Satan used military and cultural power-Satan used every kind of power to attack me. But step by step, Father fought back up all those steps.

No matter how much power America has, it cannot affect me. It does not matter how they attack me. History cannot erase that mistake of the world of the white race against me. Yet Father won. Father won over the American world. (Applause.) No matter how Satan’s world came against me, it wound up being occupied by me. Satan proudly had all that knowledge and power arrayed against me, but now they are saying, “Reverend Moon, please don’t go back! Stay and help us!”

Who can make the two separate cultures and worlds of the East and West come together if not Reverend Moon? We must make one world and one hope. That is our responsibility. Is that true? (Yes.)

When Father did not understand English very well, he thought Colonel Han was doing pretty well, but now that Father understands English, he knows that is not the case. Colonel Han chops important branches off, leaves things out, puts things upside down-so Father undertook the task himself! (Applause.)

(Colonel Han resumes translating). Wherever we may be, at whatever moment, we should take hold of Father. This is an analogy. Father went through this course as a pioneer. We must follow this same course, this same pattern, not pioneering anymore but following him to the national base. Father is not even talking about the cosmic base, just the national base. If we cannot even do so much as that, we’d better die early. From here, there is no persecution, whereas before, this was all persecution. 24 hours a day, like Father did, we must go without sleep and without food, devoting all our time to teaching, to doing seminars and teaching the people in your home town. Then your family will come alive and so will America. Then America will never perish. Without that, we all know what the fate of America will be.

Christians thought they could try to save America. Now they have come to realize that they have tried everything and that there is nothing more left for them to try. Now they will not oppose us so much. We will teach them, too.

Now we can harvest from the tree. From the small branch we create, we can harvest the same fruit and the same blossom as the main tree. Do you follow? It is the same seed, not a different seed, of what Father has done. You, too, can accomplish all that you desire by connecting and becoming one with the True Parents and standing on this same point of settlement and sharing all the foundation which Father created. Our mind and body will become united when we stand in the firm position of living for the sake of and loving the world. Your family will be in a position to love the world. Just as God Himself sacrificed His own son, the one closest to Him, in an effort to save the whole world, we too, like God and our True Parents, should sacrifice what is near and dear to us in an effort to save the nation and the world. Then we will be able to settle on the focal point.

Those who are determined to do this, those who say, “Yes, Father, I will become one with your family, one with you, and stand on the focal point of settlement. I will be the one to be like you,” raise your hands.

Today at 11:00 a.m. Father flies back to Korea, and he does not know when he will return. While Father is gone, Father expects you to do your best to fulfill this mission. God bless you. (Applause.)

## THE TIME OF LIBERATION IN THE PROVIDENCE AND OUR SAFE SETTLEMENT

Translator – Peter Kim

Are there any volunteers to translate the title Father has written here, Sum Wee Jauk Hae Bong She Dae Wha Woo Lee Wee Aun Chang? It isn’t an easy one. Some of the Japanese leaders might be able to read it. It says, The Time of Liberation in the Providence and Our Safe Settlement. Are you actually able to grasp the meaning of it?

When we speak about the providential history, it is inclusive of the beginning of human history until today. The providence also includes the Fall of Man and the history of restoration; like a transition. Therefore, we have to receive liberation which means restoring ourselves to the correct position of right side up. When you are imprisoned you truly understand the meaning of liberation, but without that kind of experience, it is difficult to fully understand the meaning of liberation. Long term inmates of a prison become more serious the closer the time of their release comes. Especially the three months prior to their release becomes a very critical time for them. Within themselves they begin to reconnect with the world outside. Because it signifies a brand new start for them they become so serious that they often cannot sleep for making new plans in their minds.

The definition of prison is to be confined within a certain boundary. This becomes the entire world of the prisoners. When the time comes for their release it means to go beyond the boundary and this is not always an easy thing for long term prisoners. By the same token, due to the Fall of Man, all humanity has been confined within the prison of the entire planet Earth. Therefore the most critical question for fallen people is how to be liberated from this fallen world, from the individual to the cosmic level. We have individual boundary fences, family level fences, tribal, national, world, universe and cosmos level fences. At every level we find the prison fence. However, in general, people are unaware of this reality. How can we go beyond these fences?

Due to the Fall of Man we are having to deal with all these different levels of fences and whose responsibility is it? Man’s. By the same token, when we commit a crime in this world, even though we are part of a family it is not they who are responsible in terms of paying indemnity. It is you who have to pay. By the same token man is the one who fell and so it is man who is responsible. As an individual you are a national of a particular country, but if you commit a crime it is you who have to pay for that crime, your country cannot.

Our ultimate course of life as fallen men and women is following this road and going beyond the boundaries at each level of our confinement. Fallen men do not understand this course and they are often oblivious to the fact that they fell. Adam and Eve were the ones who actually knew that they fell, but since then nobody really understood the Fall of Man. After Adam and Eve, everybody was born within the prison walls and throughout history these prison fences have been expanded from the individual to cosmic levels. At each level it is a war and who is responsible for creating this kind of battle? If you become a prisoner you will experience the fight that exists within any kind of prison. Within a prison, it is usually the one who has served the longest term who is the boss and they are usually the most serious criminal. They act like a king in the prison and new prisoners have to pay respect to him and so in that sense, there is no freedom there. Whatever you have to do in the prison, you have to obtain the permission of the kingpin or you will be punished. If you don’t follow the boss’s way of doing things then your life will be threatened. It is like a Mafia organization.

Generally people do not realize that they are in this central point surrounded by all levels of prison fences. America may be the most powerful country in the world and yet America still falls into this category also. If we go beyond all these different levels of fences, then where can we go? That is the original world in which we don’t find any fences. However, in the fallen world there are fallen individuals, fallen families, fallen tribes, fallen people, fallen nations; we have to feel that. Therefore, if we just continue living in this fallen world surrounded by all these fallen people then eventually even after we leave this world we will end up in fallen spiritual world-so-called hell.

This is eternal hell where all the different levels of hell are combined. If we fall into this hell, how can we get out of it? We have this reverse way to go at all different levels. Those who live in this hell have all the burdens of their ancestors, family, nation and world in the past who made such mistakes and are being carried by those in hell. If you try to get out of this hell then all the people who came there in the past with all their burdens will grab hold of you and won’t let you go. Hell is the place where all the self-centered people are gathered. If anybody tries to do something they become besieged by all these self-centered individuals, so you are not free. In that place everybody tries to step on you and go above you. However, God’s way is allowing others to go ahead of you by always yielding and becoming more humble. That is the difference.

Have you truly thought about the situation we find ourselves in, surrounded by all these different levels of hell confined within this hellish society? Looking at the world do you see it as doomed to perish or prosper? (Perish.) Then what should you do? Do you really feel that this entire world, including you and your family, is perishing and will be destroyed soon? Do you really feel that? This is not a conceptual matter but a very serious reality. Of course this side is physical hell and this, the spiritual hell, but we are talking about this physical world hell. How can we transform this physical world into the Kingdom of God on earth? We have to go through these eight different stages.

We are saying that the entire world has become a hell, so do you think that we should be able to enter the Kingdom of God altogether or as individuals? (Together.) Is there any single individual throughout history who entered the Kingdom alone? Of course we lost the Kingdom of God at the individual level so we should not follow this entire world which is a fallen world. The trend of this world leads to the door of hell. Where is the heavenly gate? We have to turn around 180 degrees in order to find the heavenly gate. Once you turn around 180 degrees, then the entire world including your family, tribe and nation will oppose you and try to prevent you from progressing. How can we overcome this opposition and obstacle? This has been our task, the inevitable course that we have to deal with. In order to succeed in our mission of turning around 180 degrees and marching forward, we have to deny ourselves, our families, our tribes, our nations and the world. We are now going in the reverse direction and so we deny the world first, then the nation, tribe, family and self. This is the reverse course. Once you overcome the world level then the national level is waiting to oppose you and so on. Do you really feel that?

As Unification Church members we are always referring to the indemnity course, tribal messiahship, etc. However, do you really feel that? Father explains their necessity here clearly, but do you feel that immediate task is right in front of your eyes? You have to pick up whatever tools you may need to accomplish it. Father is not just talking but this is the reality and truth which he is giving to you. There is no choice, we have to go through this course and go beyond each level. When we truly understand this problem, then our external concerns of making a living, and where to live become inconsequential. This entire world is a fallen world and is for us a world scale prison. Please understand this. We have to receive the day of liberation.

People are talking about obtaining freedom, peace and happiness, but what do they mean? They are already admitting that we are living in the fallen world and we are fallen people who need freedom, peace and happiness. Because they do not know where they can obtain freedom, peace and happiness, they imagine these can be found within their own national boundary. However, everybody has to go beyond their national level. Within the worldwide fence level there is no real freedom, peace or happiness. We have to transcend this level. If the Fall of Man is a reality, then what Father is teaching us here is a fact and reality also. Please understand, from the individual level to the world level, eight different levels of prison boundaries have been expanded. We have to turn around from this level and go back the reverse way down to the individual level.

[Father draws on the blackboard.] In the reverse way we have to create a new world on eight different levels again. In order to reach this original point again, as an individual, you have to overcome these eight different levels and then the entire heavenly eight different levels will spread out in front of you. The dispensational time of liberation includes this, as a whole being and not just as an individual. It is 180 degrees in a different direction. In that way the historical dispensational time of liberation will occur.

When will this wrong-side-up world become right-side-up? If this wrong-side-up world is in this position then you have to push one side so that it turns over 180 degrees. Push like this, just as when you turn over a heavy object. Have you done it? When did you do it? Did you reverse it on the individual level? Then the family level lies before you. Even if you complete this at an individual level, you still have your family level, including yourself, your tribal level, society level, national and world levels to complete. As you continue this work then you may probably complete the individual and tribal levels, but just as with Christianity, at a community level they don’t want to do that because they want to keep things as they have been doing them on the national level.

For example, America doesn’t want to change completely from the wrong-side-up to the right-side-up. This has been the problem. This entire nation of America has to be made right-side-up again and this means totally turning it around. Think about the confusion and difficulties this would create for them. So, they resist it. If this entire nation of America became right-side-up, does that mean the rich people become richer and poor people more poor? (No.) Upside down means turned inside out. That is why, for example, in the communist world, it was promoted that all the farmers and laborers should be the first class people.

As we change this world completely around and then as people become totally changed, they should move from their particular place to a newer place. People don’t realize this. In other words, we have to make an exodus from this nation of America as Americans to someplace new to become new people. However, Americans don’t think that way. That new world is this world-heaven. Do you understand? In order to enter this new world the way we have been going, we will have such a long trail; a family trail, tribal trail, etc. but this is not the right way. You have to make yourself very clear as an individual at this point to be qualified to enter this world.

Centering upon Adam and Eve, the Fall occurred at the family level. From that family level the world has expanded and so the entire world has to come through that family gate once again. Do you want to remain in this world or leave this world and enter this fresh new world? (Fresh new world.)

At the time of the Exodus the Israelites followed Moses. In the beginning they were so happy to go to a new world, but they did not realize the wilderness was waiting for them. That is why they all perished in the wilderness. By the same token, those Unification leaders and members who have been following just like the Israelites followed Moses and did not understand the life in the wilderness, will just disappear one by one and leave and die. Just as Moses was leading the Israelite people to the new nation of Canaan, Father has been leading all of you to the new Kingdom of God. Therefore we must drop all our relationships and memories from the past and follow in Father’s footsteps. However, people have a tendency to stick with their old habits and memories and try to go back to their old lifestyle. This has been a problem. As you reach this level as an individual and family, you have to go through another eight stages of the world and return and bring the rest of the people with you. You should be the spearhead in terms of entering that world. Therefore you have a long trail, you have a family trail, tribe trail, society and national trail and they are not connected to this world [the original world] because they came from this world [indicating the fallen world]. Therefore you are the one who has to connect all these different levels in the new world. While you are going through this process at this level you should not face any opposition. No matter which direction you may go there should not be any opposition. That is why we call it the unified world.

No matter how big this world may be, it will become like one big family in terms of the structure and organization. The concept behind the new world will be like one family; a family level family, tribal level family, national level family and world level family. It is just a matter of size, but the entire world is one family.

In this fallen world there is no level of family which God can work through. That is why God has been working throughout history in order to restore a family. Because God lost Adam’s family then God began to work in Abel’s family and so on, all throughout history. Do you understand? Ever since the Fall of Man there has not been one single family through which God could work. That is why God has been waiting for that single original family and that family is the family of the Messiah. The Abel side family appears and then the rest of the world represents Cain side families. This Abel side family, even though a single family, will prosper and destroy the Cain side families step by step. All the Cain side families from individual to world levels, will try their best to destroy this Abel side family of the Messiah. The Abel side will suffer, just as the Israelites have suffered throughout history because they were the chosen people.

Until the national sovereignty is secured, which means when the Messiah becomes the king, the Messiah cannot truly be called Messiah. Abel as an individual, should win the victory and then that individual victorious foundation will remain. On that basis he will move on to the family level fight against Satan and claim victory moving throughout all the eight different levels. Whoever is selected by God, whether individual, family or nation, will always have to deal with this kind of opposition from the Cain side. Just as Christianity has been dealing with worldwide opposition, by the same token the Unification Church, ever since its birth has been dealing with this world level opposition. Even in this fallen world there may have been an individual who was strong enough to win a victory here and family level here, but they were not on the same straight line. This line has to be straight, but sometimes the line has been a zigzag and then they don’t connect. This has been the problem.

During the Old Testament Era there was the servant of servant level victory, adopted son level victory and this has to be connected in a straight line. At the time of the New Testament, it was like that also. The Messiah’s role is to connect all those victories on a straight line so that God can work through them. At the end of the Old Testament Era, Jesus Christ came as the Messiah to straighten the connection. In this time Father came and connected everything in a straight line. As Father is the Messiah of this world, he has to include this entire Old Testament Era and New Testament Era and place all these victorious foundations on a straight line. Presently they are all scattered around, circulating like the four seasons that come and go. They are all in different locations presently. As you know, True Parents made the proclamation of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age last year. That by itself is an astonishing fact and unimaginable reality.

True Parents could make that proclamation after they had gone through these eight different stages and come this reverse way and won the victory as True Family. Because of the victorious foundation won by True Parents as a family, God, who was waiting outside of all these fences, can now dwell and work with True Parents directly on all these different levels in this world.

These past forty years Satan has been persecuting and opposing Father, trying to prevent him from reaching this level as an individual, and to keep True Parents and the True Family base from extending to all the eight different levels. Even though there has been persecution on all those eight different levels, Father won the victory on each level. Please understand, True Father went over all the eight different levels and reached the victory here at the eighth level where he received God and came back to the original point. Because of the Fall of Man, God couldn’t interfere in this sphere of hell, but had to remain outside of the boundary. Father came all the way out and received God and then came back to the starting point. All these eight satanic levels gave way and lost to Father. Since he received God and went back to the original point, no satanic world is able to stop him. Centering upon True Parents’ family now we will enjoy all eight different levels of the Kingdom of Heaven. Satan has no business with this. Just as it says in the Divine Principle lecture of the Last Days, this is the crossing point. Father won all the victories, received God and came back to this original point so that we can live with God together and prosper. This crossing point is the time of the proclamation of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age. It doesn’t have anything to do with Satan whatsoever. Therefore, the more aggressively we move to do God’s work, the more severely the satanic world will be damaged and go down.

Do you Americans want to work with your own nation or do you want to go out to and work for the world? (World.) Then you want to abandon your country of America? (No.) If your answer is no, then you have to go out and win a world level victory and come back to your country just as Father has done. Just as Father dropped everything in the past and went out you, too, must do the same. Abandoning means you are gaining. [Father refers to the blackboard diagram.] This is the fallen world of hell and this is the heavenly world. We need to liberate this hell and make heaven on earth. Is this clear? (Yes.) This liberation dispensation Father is mentioning is again, the crossing point where the left side will become the right side and right side will become left side, a 180 degree turn. The downside will become upside and the upside will become downside. In this family level, centering upon True Parents’ family, the tribe, nation and world will emerge and above that line is the Kingdom of God on earth; below it is hell. After the Kingdom of God on earth is established, the Kingdom of God in heaven will automatically become connected. Then the world of the Fall doesn’t exist anymore. Only when we have this world can we say that total liberation takes place. Then we won’t be able to see all the eight different levels of fences anymore.

Perfection must occur in this physical world on a horizontal level. Father’s family is here after True Parents won the victory, then centering upon this central point, on a horizontal level, all these eight different levels must be passed through in order to reach to perfection. Then five billion families will be on the same line. However, because True Family is the central family the entire five billion people of the world must have True Family in their own family as their center. Do you understand? Centering upon True Parents, your entire tribe should be unified. Without having True Parents as the center you cannot have a true tribe, true nation and true world. That is the way the world will expand. The vertical center is True Parents and True Family, but on a horizontal level all these five billion families are on the same line.

Liberation takes place in such a way that if your tribe becomes totally one with True Family then your tribal level liberation takes place. When True Parents and you as tribal messiah become totally one, your entire tribe will naturally become a true tribe. When twelve different tribes become united then that becomes a people-like the Israelite people at Moses’ time. When you have restored these twelve tribes together and God works through that and makes you a king, then you become a people. In America if you have twelve different big tribes together and become totally one, then you can even claim national sovereignty and become a national Messiah. With that kind of king or president totally centered upon God and totally one with True Parents, the entire nation will belong to God and True Parents, don’t you agree? (Yes.) By the same token, suppose all the representatives of the United Nations, which represents the whole world, become totally one with True Parents overnight. Conditionally, that means the entire world is connected to True Parents. Through what? Receiving Blessing from True Parents.

The Fall of Man eventually comes down to the fact that their marriage was a false marriage. As God and True Parents bestow the correct marriage upon them, the entire world will belong to God and True Parents. Because True Parents already won all the different levels of victory here on this level, horizontally, then Satan cannot interfere with whatever True Parents may do from now on. Suppose Father were to utilize one major television station in Washington DC and gave this victorious trumpet blowing for forty hours, the entire world will be turned around. On each level, as you see, there will be a change because True Parents already won all the necessary levels of victory. Father is able now to expand it and embrace all the different levels of the entire world and globe. In that field Satan cannot interfere because this is True Parents’ dominion.

At such a time when True Parents can do as explained here to the world, we are already beyond this time of liberation and are actually at the time of settlement of our own selves. In this liberation place there is no Satan, no hell. Do you understand? True Parents have already made a victorious foundation over the cosmic world. Once again, please remember, for all these reasons, centering upon True Father, we have to make it upside down and right-side-up. This is our task. With one blow on a worldwide scale America would just turn around. We need a clear concept of this for now we have received the time of liberation in the history of God’s providence. It is like taking a world tour where you begin in America and travel north around the world and return to your original starting point. This is exactly how True Father did it providentially. Suppose the entire five billion people of the earth want to take this world tour together at the same time? This world would probably be in turmoil. So one representative, True Father, already did it spiritually and physically by setting the victorious foundation all over the world. So now we have to just stick with Father and make sure to stand right behind him and follow his footsteps all the way. The entire five billion people of the world will become united with Father. The body should follow the mind everywhere. Do you really understand how significant and important True Parents are for our lives now?

From the beginning of Adam’s family to the entire world level, now there is access here. True Parents have created the access pillar. On an individual, family, or national level the speed is the same. While you are circulating there it sometimes goes up and sometimes down. You are totally free and without barriers. Amen. (Amen!) True Father now occupies a central position in the universe, not just this world, but the cosmos also. Do you understand that we are now on the same horizontal level with True Father, True Parents? You can see by looking at the chalk marks on the board how many times Father emphasized it. Even at the horizontal level, all these eight stages are connected centering upon True Parents. We can separate these into Old Testament Era, New Testament Era and Completed Testament Era. Because the eight different levels are like mountains we need these different time periods such as the Old Testament, New Testament and Completed Testament. However, we are now on the same horizontal level so it isn’t necessary to have these different time periods because it jumps like this with one blow.

The Completed Testament Age does not have any obstacles or stages to go through. It is the time to build the ideal family, ideal nation and ideal world which will become the world of peace. Historically speaking the eight different vertical stages are represented by the three different horizontal stages of Old Testament, New Testament and Completed Testament. When we look at history vertically, there are three different stages up until the Completed Testament Age which is represented by 6,000 years of history. However, within forty years of Father’s life, this entire 6,000 years has been indemnified. The Old Testament Era was the time of the first ancestors, the New Testament Era was the time of the second ancestor and the Completed Testament Age is the time for the third ancestor of humanity. Father has been victorious on all these different levels vertically and has expanded this victorious foundation horizontally. Satan has no claim over this.

This history which took 6,000 years vertically until the Completed Testament Age, had to be indemnified within forty years. This has been Father’s course. It is like the completion of the first Adam, second Adam and third Adam. The third Adam is able to restore the first and second Adam. Looking at history from a restorational point of view, the first Adam is the elder brother, the second Adam who is Jesus, is the second elder brother and Father is the youngest, the third Adam. It is like three sons from God’s point of view. However, this third Adam, the Lord of the Second Advent, came and liberated the two elder brothers, Adam and Jesus Christ. When Jesus came he was supposed to restore the first Adam, but he failed to do this. That is why the third Adam, Father, as the Lord of the Second Advent came and restored these two elder brothers. Do you understand? Even if Father brings Adam and Jesus Christ, God will put True Father on top of them and Satan cannot say anything because nothing but victory will remain there. Satan cannot interfere or say anything. Do you understand? Again, Father stays in his position then Jesus and Adam are next and Satan cannot say anything. Do you understand?

All throughout these 6,000 years, people at different levels had different desires and longings, but now Father expands this onto a horizontal level of Old Testament, New Testament and Completed Testament. Because of Father’s victorious foundation, Satan cannot interfere so you are totally free to act. Looking at this situation horizontally there are different levels or stages, but because of True Parents’ victory, those tribes and people belonging to all three eras are united. The people from the Old Testament Era which means the first Adam period and the second Adam period which is Jesus’ time and includes all the different denominations of Christianity, and the Completed Testament Age which is the third Adam period, are totally centered upon True Parents now and horizontally speaking, they are all one. The fundamental relationship is the father/son relationship centered upon True Parents, so it is irrelevant whether you belong to the first Adam period tribe or the second Adam period tribe. The basic relationship with True Parents will be the father/son relationship and through True Parents Blessing, everyone can be restored and be totally free. According to this principle, in terms of father/son relationship, thousands of different generations can be created here on the horizontal level. Within one week this entire humanity of five billion people can be restored through this father and son relationship.

Though the fallen world is below this horizontal level right now, once it is completely turned 180 degrees, this world will become the Kingdom of God on earth. Is that true? The time of liberation in God’s providence is taking place on this one straight horizontal line. Do you understand? (Yes.) Satan knew that this time was coming, that is why Satan created all the immorality problems that we are facing today in America. Therefore, there is only one way to restore this country. Because Satan created the misery we now face, we have to leave Satan and follow True Parents. That is the only way. You were born as children of the first ancestor, second ancestor and third ancestor because Father restored all of them. You should understand this clearly and have the conviction that you have within you the completion of Adam, the completion of Jesus Christ and the completion of True Father. Do you understand?

Blessed couples raise your hands. “Blessed couple” means that you represent True Parents. It means you are like a new tree, True Parents’ tree. Therefore, please understand that the proclamation of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age is this significant and precious. That is why the entire spiritual and physical world have become one at this point. The spiritual world represents the archangel’s world and the earth represents Adam’s world which is in Abel’s position. Now these two are combining into one and we are creating the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth and in the spiritual world. By having the physical and spiritual world united, just like Cain and Abel being united, True Parents are now able to do their work and the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven can be created. This is equivalent to the time before the original fallen situation occurred. Is this clear? (Yes.)

Then within you, what do you have and whom are you representing? (True Parents.) You must remember Father’s conclusion and that is that you are a representative of the perfection of the first Adam, the perfection of the second Adam, Jesus Christ, and the completion of the third Adam, True Father. Within yourself you represent that much. Do you understand? Father brings these three different levels of the first, second and third Adam and engrafts them into you. You have to have the concept that you are becoming the new baby generation. No matter how much difficulty you may encounter, you should never lose sight of the fact that you are the center of the universe. You have to have that kind of concept. Do you have confidence? (Yes.) Only from that kind of confidence and that kind of practice will you find your peace, freedom and real happiness. That is the way we will accomplish the safe settlement of our individual level, our tribal level, our national level and world level.

The grand conclusion from God’s providential point of view is that in Adam’s family centering on Eve, Cain and Abel should have been united and embraced by Eve. However, this did not happen. At the time of Jesus Christ, the nation of Israel was in the position of Cain and Judaism was in the position of Abel. Centering upon the mother, Mary, this Cain and Abel were supposed to be united and embraced so that they could receive the Messiah. However, this failed also. That is why the dispensation was delayed to the worldwide level where Eve was represented by the nation of England. America was born from this Eve nation, isn’t that true? The Anglo-Saxon tribe and France were enemies, exactly the Cain, Abel and mother positions. That foundation was historically awaiting the coming of the bridegroom upon the earth, not spiritually. Do you understand? The Christian world has the notion that Jesus will descend from the clouds. Right after World War II, do you think that it was easy for the nations of Great Britain, America and France to bow down in front of Father and acknowledge him as the Lord of the Second Advent? It was virtually impossible just like at Jesus’ time and that is why Father went through the forty year course in which he won all the victories by himself. It was a re-indemnification.

True Mother is in the position of having the responsibility to unite and embrace the major countries of America, Japan, Germany and Korea. America represents Christianity and the free world. Right after World War II was the only time that the entire free world, centered upon Christianity, was totally united. Returning to the point of the second Messiah we just have to turn and right after World War II it was supposed to have happened that way, but it failed and so Father had to walk the forty year course.

In place of Great Britain, Japan is now the Eve nation. Father actually selected enemy countries such as America which was in the enemy position to Germany and Japan. From Father’s point of view Japan was his enemy country and America, providentially speaking, failed. By the same token, Germany was in the same situation. It was the most evil nation during World War II. It was fearful. During World War II Germany was responsible for eliminating thousands of Christians and millions of Jews. After World War II, all these countries failed and so now True Mother came and is restructuring this system of Cain and Abel and Adam and Eve nations relationships. America is in the Abel position and Germany is in Cain’s position. America represents Christianity which means it is in the bride’s position. After World War II, centering upon the Christian cultural background, the entire free world, particularly the providential nations of England, America and France, should have bowed down in front of Father and received him as the Lord of the Second Advent. However they failed, and Father had to walk the forty year course of re-indemnification. Then Father and Mother came to America and installed True Mother as the world level True Mother, having her speak at the United Nations and Capitol Hill, Cain and Abel. True Parents then connected this with Mother’s speaking tour of Japan. As you know Japan was opposing our Church so much, but that opposition was knocked down and Mother won the victory there.

Last year there was so much opposition to Mother going to Japan to speak publicly, but at the Tokyo Dome Mother addressed 50,000 women leaders. She also spoke at the Diet and throughout Japan. This year True Mother is planning to speak to 100,000 women leaders at a few places in Japan. Religiously speaking, there are many different unknown religions in Japan. The population of Japan is about 120 million and half of that represents approximately 60 thousand Japanese women who are influenced to some degree by all these different mixed religious ideas. Father wants to educate them through True Mother with God-centered Christianity which is Godism, and change their views and religious beliefs. After True Parents turned Japan around, particularly using this women power, True Parents then went to Korea. The United Nations and Capitol Hill as Cain and Abel were combined and then connected with the Mother’s position which is Japan. Japan’s color is a complicated color, not the unified color of Christianity. Eve’s country should have only one color, that is the Christian culture color. However, Japan, representing Eve’s position has a different color. How can we make Japan the same color as the Christian cultural world? You women have to be responsible for changing the color and turning Eve’s position around. Man represents the archangel position and has no power, no partner, no property. Do you understand? Man does not have authority. Women have to follow the right way now. Do you understand? Father has the bridegroom’s power, everything is connected to one and moving in a different direction. All men follow behind without opposition. This is the Divine Principle perspective. Do you understand clearly? (Yes.)

In order to bring about the re-unification of Korea we need young people, particularly those college students from North Korea and South Korea, to be totally united. They represent Cain and Abel. Cain is represented by North Korean youth and Abel is represented by South Korean youth and centering upon True Parents these two Cain and Abel countries must combine into one to make the original unification foundation. We need these young people not only to bring about the unification of Korea, but to establish the unified world at the world level. This is why Father brought the youth representatives from different countries and held the Youth Conference in Moscow. According to Father’s time clock everything is progressing well. Both South and North Korea have really tried to put the students from both countries together in order for them to have dialogue and build some kind of relationship. However, they have not been successful in all these years, only through Father, at this time. It has begun through the Moscow conference and at the same time Father already established the Women’s Federation for World Peace and the International Youth Federation for World Peace. The Mother position and Cain and Abel children are represented there. So the world will follow as Father planned based upon that peninsula unification base. Do you understand? (Yes.) It will become equivalent to the situation after World War II. Once Kim Il Sung and True Parents become totally united then the world will be united.

Once North and South Korea become totally united centering upon Kim Il Sung uniting with True Parents, and the world becomes unified, it will be equivalent to the time of 1945 to 1952 when the entire world should have become like that. It is like the seven days of God’s creation and we need this seven years. The world failed, so Father re-indemnified all the conditions within the last forty years. Starting from 1993 we need a seven year time period in order to complete this. By the year 2000, when Father will have reached the age of eighty years, this entire world must become totally united and must be under Father’s sovereignty and the world wide level unification will take place. During this seven year time period Father needs women. After World War II the bride was unsuccessful so in this seven year period it is the mission of women to inherit this seven years and make a completion. This is why Father has established the Women’s Federation for World Peace. It will serve as the worldwide women’s base. Do you understand? Based upon that, you can connect with the bridegroom. This is Eve’s mission until the year 2000.

Satan knew Father’s plan of forty years and so he dominated this nation of America, implanting all kinds of immorality and social problems within this country. Who can save America from this miserable situation? The American government and military power cannot do that. Only centered upon Reverend Moon can this be done; otherwise there is no way for this country to be saved. The only one who understands God’s viewpoint is Reverend Moon. If you don’t follow Father then this country is doomed to perish. The conclusion is simple, make sure that your mind and body are totally united, unite your family and control your sexual desires totally according to God’s law. Once you open your sexual place to free sex then all evil will infiltrate. Think about the actual reality out in the world where father-in-law and daughter-in-law live together and grandfather and granddaughter live together in relationships of incest. This is worse than animals. Satan made that kind of incest relationship. How can it be reversed and restored? How can this miserable situation be corrected and brought back to the original point? “No matter how famous the Second Advent is, he cannot do that! Ha, ha ha!” Satan is laughing like that. But God is a living God with great power forever. Do you understand? (Yes.) God’s hand cannot touch that kind of fallen relationship. All those problems should be resolved, chased out. Do you follow? (Yes.) Centering upon True Parents we must return to our hometown. There is no Japan, no America, no Germany in God’s eyes. Wait and see. America is so proud of its power and Japan is so proud of its economic power, but because of free sex and immorality those countries will perish. Who can save them? Only we can liberate them and make a safe settlement. The amount of liberation that you are able to bring to the people in this world will determine the level of your safe settlement. Since Father knew all these secrets and plans and the work that he had to do, if he had stayed in Korea safely and comfortably, what kind of world do you think we would experience today? There would be no change in this world whatsoever. What about you? The world out there is big, it isn’t just one country. Are you going to just sit still and hide some place? (No.) That is why Father has sent you out as a family messiah and tribal messiah and eventually, you have to become a national messiah. Horizontally they lie on the same line. “Messiah” means True Parentship and this cannot be invaded by Satanic power. Is this clear? Satan cannot infiltrate that world. We have less than seven years now, so go out and grab those congressmen, governors, senators and leaders of this country and work with them. If it is necessary you have to step on them because we have that kind of strong armament of truth. We are that powerful. Do you understand? (Yes.)

Now it is our world and if there is anyone who is opposing you then go and pay a visit to that person and challenge them. Ask them clearly why they are opposing us? Have they studied our teaching? Have they met Reverend Moon personally? Do they personally know Unificationists? If they have not, then we have to challenge their opposition because they have no foundation whatsoever. Rumors spread by newspapers were originally made up by communists, who wield the worst kind of satanic power. You American leaders, don’t lose this golden opportunity because time passes away quickly. Father came to America at the age of fifty four and he began turning this country as an individual. Have you truly helped Father?

Americans complained about an Asian man coming here and teaching Americans, but look at the state of this country, it is perishing. Where is their ideal family, where is their ideal nation and world? There is no true brotherhood, no true couples, no true Parentship. The ideal family love is descending with the Second Advent and chasing out the American way. At last they can understand the truth and turn around the opposite way at the time of the Second Advent. Otherwise, there will only be perishment for America and no power in this country can save it. This is the truth!

A few days ago, Father gave direction to Reverend Joong Hyun Pak to make a video tape of Father’s speeches that were given when Father first came to America in 1974 and spread this truth again to the entire world, in particular this country of America. In those speeches given in 1974, Father clearly gave a proclamation and warning to the world. We have to re-educate and re-alert them by giving these speeches because we now have enough external power and foundation to influence people. Many of the leaders, intellectuals, and politicians of this country who used to oppose Father recently changed their attitude by stating that they believe America truly needs Reverend Moon and begged him not to leave from America. However, in reality, it is we who have to do that work. Centering upon the Washington Times, all Christianity in this country is now united together with the conservative power. They are begging Reverend Moon to remain in the center of the Christian and Conservative Movement to save this nation of America. Have you heard of Nostalgia cable television station? Now we have complete ownership of it. During the process of our purchasing this company, Pat Robertson, Billy Graham and other prominent Christian leaders were strongly opposed to the idea of Reverend Moon owning this cable TV station. However, God was on Father’s side so they were unsuccessful in their opposition.

When you look at the situation objectively, do you think God is on Father’s side or on your side? (Father’s side.) What about you? Then what are you? (We are on Father’s side.) Then that means you have separated from Satan’s side. Are you totally one with True Father? (Yes.) How many percent, 100 percent or 1000 percent? (100,000 percent.) You always say that. If it is only eighty percent then it means you have twenty percent of Satan there and God will kick you out. Abel’s side is never eighty percent, but completely 100 percent and connecting from generation to generation eternally. That is the original creation viewpoint. You cannot deny this. Because you know the truth which we have learned from True Father, how much liberation we generate and create in God’s providence will determine the amount of safe settlement for ourselves. That is Father’s message to you this morning. Everybody is equal here. Those who invest more effort and bring more results will be rewarded more. If you don’t work then others will come and take your blessing away.

There is one huge Christian denomination working closely together with Father in order to save this country. Something is going on that you don’t yet know about. They have understood clearly that the Christian world cannot have hope in the future and cannot digest and control the world as they desire. They have understood that the only solution lies with Reverend Moon. Do you understand? Once they move in and fully begin working with Father, you will lose everything and they will take over your work. We shall see the truth of “the first shall be last and the last shall be first.” Father gave you the tribal messiahship right in advance, enabling you to go out and bring in your entire tribe, at least 160 tribal members, and register on the heavenly roster. However, if you fail to do this, sooner or later these Christian ministers will come with big numbers, entire congregations, thousands of people will join at the same time. What shall you do at that time? God’s purpose is the salvation of the entire world.

It is fair that the amount of liberation that you bring will determine the degree of safe settlement of yourself. Looking at Father’s life we can see that the communist world and entire free world have been opposing Father, but now the time has changed. These major communist countries are now under Father’s influence and the world is welcoming Father. Who made this time change? Did America make this kind of change in the world atmosphere? No, it did not. God did not make that kind of change. It came centering upon Reverend Moon and the completion of Adam’s position. After the Fall, Adam and Eve started from the lowest position, that means the beginning of hell. How can we eliminate this world? We have to clean it up and re-indemnify the mistakes centering on True Parentship. This was the original point. True Parents are the completion of Adam’s mission, the establishment of the formula True Family. Do you understand? (Yes.) From that basis you must expand to the world level. True Parents have appeared on the earth and by re-indemnification have brought the world back to begin again. They will clean up Satan’s world based on this center. The world’s people will follow that. That is the formula way. Those who unite, will automatically have the value of completion as well. Is that true?

Father had to work under opposition, but we have no opposition to work under anymore. If there is anybody opposing you just grab him and challenge him. It doesn’t matter who he might be. Ask him if he is able to solve the problems of today’s youth and today’s families. If he cannot, then you can tell him he should step down from his public position. We should have guts now. Without it we cannot save this country. It is not the time for us to crawl underneath and peek out at the world, rather we have to be bold and strong. Father is brave and bold and Mother is, too, as she proclaimed, “I am the True Mother.” You heard, you saw how True Parents are taking the revolutionary position, the victors position. You, too, must have that kind of guts and attitude and take action just like True Parents. Do you understand? (Yes.)

Will you do that? (YES!) Now Father is erasing this morning’s topic from the board so do you clearly understand? (Yes.) You now know how we can secure our safe settlement? (Yes.) Father accomplished all this during heavy persecution, but we don’t have to face such persecution. Even at the time of the liberation of Korea from Japan in 1945, everybody ran out to the street and cheered but Father could not do that. Because Father knew that the actual liberation of Korea had not come at that point. Now the time has come when we should openly do Mansei. Will you do that? (Yes!) Father will trust you. Please join me in prayer.

## TRUE PARENTS AND THE CREATION OF THE IDEAL FAMILY

### February 15, 1994
World Mission Center
Translator – Dr. Bo Hi Pak

Do people in general truly know the will of God? What is the definition of the will of God? In trying to deal with this question, many professors and theologians have come up with all kinds of answers. It appears to be a very easy question, but in actuality, it is a very difficult question to answer. We Unification Church members must know very clearly what the will of God is. The will of God is to fulfill the ideal of creation.

What, then, is the ideal of creation? It is the completion of the four position foundation, which means the establishment of the ideal family. In order for the ideal family to come into being, True Parents must first be established. Without such a center, there is no such thing as an ideal family.

What would be our evaluation of the reality in which we live? Is it a good society or a bad one? There are so many people living on the face of the earth, so many nations exist, but the common conclusion we come to is that the world in which we live is not a perfectly good one. Why is that? There is no true peace in this world; rather, it is a world of fighting and struggle. God cannot dwell where disharmony and struggle exist. Goodness cannot be accomplished in such an atmosphere.

Who is the winner in this struggling world? Satan is the winner. The work of Satan is to make men and women into enemies. Because of the Fall of Man, this world has become a world of disharmony and struggle. Originally, Adam and Eve were supposed to live in peace, but Satan came between them and divided them.

The Bible tells us that the cause of the Fall of Man was the act of eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. What is the root of sin? It is whatever the fruit of good and evil might be. In order to cure a disease, you must discover the root cause of the illness. After the fallen act, Adam and Eve hid the lower parts of their bodies. It is human nature to cover the part of one’s body which has transgressed. The Bible tells us that prior to the Fall, Adam and Eve were naked and unashamed, but after the Fall, they felt shame and hid their lower bodies. Through this it is very apparent that the sin committed by the first ancestors of humankind had something to do with the lower part of the body. It had something to do with illicit love, not good, wholesome love. A humanity born out of illicit love should be referred to an illicit humanity. Unfortunately, we have had to realize that we are not the fruits of True Love.

Father sees many great ministers sitting here in the front. He would like to ask them, “Were Adam and Eve chased out of the Garden of Eden or did they voluntarily walk out?” They were chased out by God and after this, they bore their children. There were only two people in the Garden of Eden and when they left the Garden of Eden, they bore illicit children. From that point on, humanity proliferated.

Do you suppose they had a baby one year later, two years later, three years later or twenty years later? Common sense dictates that they had their first child within five years. They became husband and wife, but do you think that God officiated at their marriage? (No.) If you were God, what would you think about such fallen children?

Who is Satan? He is the seducer of God’s children, and once Adam and Eve became servants of Satan, God certainly could not bless them and claim them as His children. Therefore, we can logically conclude that humanity, from Adam and Eve on, were married under the auspices of the satanic sovereignty. This is the most fundamental question every minister must consider. If you have not yet considered this question, you are not yet a serious minister. You are not only not serious-you are a bad minister! (Laughter.) Without getting down to the root of the disease, how is it possible to heal that disease? To think we can do so goes against scientific principles.

Do you think God has ever made an exception in the case of any couple and given them the blessing? Absolutely not. God’s ideal of creation is to create an ideal family. In order to have an ideal family, there has to be a marriage. When should God plan such a marriage to occur? God has been concentrating on one basic foundation in order to create the ideal family. That is the installation of the True Parents. That is the beginning point of the work of God. In order to have True Parents, first of all, there must be a true man and a true woman.

Here we have two men, both of whom are very reputable ministers. Please answer this question. Without being completely perfected men and women, do you think it is possible to become True Parents? Are you true men? (Laughter.) Let me ask all of you gentlemen ministers here. Are you true men or not? No, you are not. Each one of you knows that your mind and body are fighting and are not in harmony. You cannot deny this reality. When fighting and struggles are going on, there is no room for God to come and dwell in peace.

If we have a struggle between our mind and our body, we must ask ourselves why we have become like this. If struggle and fighting were originally meant to be, then there is no God. God also has a mind and a body, even though they are invisible. Do you suppose that God’s mind and body are fighting? No way! How about all of you? This is the most fundamental, basic problem, and yet so far in history no one has stepped forward with the solution. The struggle within our minds and bodies came from the false parenthood of Adam and Eve reaching all the way down to each one of you. Until you completely cut off from the false parenthood and return to the True Parents, this problem cannot be resolved. Do you imagine that you can walk into the Kingdom of Heaven while fighting and struggling? No, you cannot.

The world is evil because it is a world of struggle. Here in the United States, there are all kinds of levels of society. Can we find any oneness or unity, wherein people are completely helping each other? Can we honestly say that we are experiencing no differences between the races? As ministers, can we say deep in our hearts that we have not felt this struggle? During all the time this situation of struggle has been going on and has not been dealt with, can we say we have been good ministers? No matter how proudly we consider ourselves good men, if this situation has not been solved, it is clear that we are not good.

Many of you ministers might be thinking that you came to the wrong place today! (Laughter.) You were thinking you came here to celebrate Reverend Moon’s birthday, but all you are getting is a big thump from him. (Applause.) I am just trying to be absolutely honest with you this morning. After all, we must be frank with each other and ourselves because we have come to the edge of the world with no place to go. We have to turn ourselves around and look for our roots. (Applause.) We must look for our real roots, not from some theological viewpoint, but the real root of the true man and true woman. I am not referring to Mr. Harry Truman, but rather to a true man. (Laughter.) A true man has his mind and body completely united, without contradiction within. When your mind and body become united without any contradiction, then God can find a dwelling place in you.

We have two eyes, but they do not operate as two eyes; rather, they operate as one. We have one vision, not two. We have two nostrils in our noses, but are they fighting each other as to who will breathe first? (Laughter.) Are your two ears hearing two different stories or only one story? They are working in harmony with each other for one purpose. The world is not wrong. It isn’t the world that has trouble; it is men and women who are wrong. Men and women are the problem. Once the problems of men and women are resolved, the problems of the world will be resolved.

The world has a population of five billion, but it consists of men and women. One man represents the 2.5 billion men of the world, and one woman represents the 2.5 billion women of the world. You are the representatives of all women and men. Individually, you represent the whole of the female race and each individual man represents the whole of the male race. You are the champions. Ten years ago you were a champion and ten years from now you will still be a champion. Our first human ancestors, Adam and Eve, were the representatives of the whole of posterity.

The problem in this world today is that we have not been able to find true men and true women. Once they come into being, the problems of the world will be resolved. Don’t look outside yourself for the problem because the problem is within you, your mind and body fighting within you. Without uniting your mind and body, how can you tell somebody else that they must have peace within their heart? It’s impossible.

Peace works on a horizontal base. If there is a tilt of any kind, there will always be instability. Today we hear cries for freedom, but freedom operates on a horizontally unified base. Only upon completely level horizontal ground is there freedom, hope, relationship and peace. Your freedom can only come into being when your mind and body are at a very peaceful level. Happiness can be found there. Peace, happiness and hope reside above that line, above that flat horizontal base. When the mind and body are struggling within you, then you have no level ground within yourself. You are unstable, so you cannot find your peace and happiness. Men and women both have a mind and a body. If these two minds and two bodies are struggling with one another for their own selfish reasons, where can peace be found? It is impossible.

We hear that America is a problem today, New York is a problem, society at large is a problem. We are missing the point, because we are the problem! (Applause.) Adam and Eve’s mistake has been spread all throughout humanity until today. They suffered in the Garden of Eden, and we are suffering today. After the fallen act was committed, do you suppose that Adam and Eve experienced complete harmony and unity between their minds and bodies-and experienced happiness and hope in their lives? Their consciences kept on fighting back against their bodies, and even though the body tries to overcome the conscience, it will not work. If the ministers here today had been really pinpointing the fundamental truth which Reverend Moon is trying to propagate here in America and had gotten down to the root, then this country would have been changed a long time ago. People try to negate the evils of society by claiming they have nothing to do with it. However, the problems of the world are your problems. They surround you because they originated from your heart.

St. Paul lamented that while his mind tried to follow the way of goodness, his body dwelt in sin. He asked how he could be delivered from this body of death. This vividly illustrates the struggle between the mind and the body. I am not speaking of some theory or concept; this is the reality right now between our mind and body. We have to know the root cause of it. Where did this disease originate from? We are trying to change our course, and our mind is willing to go in that right direction, but our body pulls us back.

Between the mind and body, one is always allied with goodness. Your mind, your conscience, is your ally, whereas your body is your fearsome enemy. We have to conquer this body, even by force. Would you like to be able to correct yourself within a month or would you like to take ten years? Would you like to have a quick fix or a slow fix? (Quick fix.) Everybody wants the faster remedy, but that means you have to take drastic action. All of our senses can be classified as good or bad, so if you wanted to rectify all of your sick organs, then maybe you would have to have shots in all of them. That’s drastic. That’s true. Truth is hard to take and the giant minister becomes smaller and smaller in the face of it.

The problems of the world are not the difficulty. The problem lies within each individual. If each man and woman becomes a true man and true woman centered upon True Love, then the problems of the world can be resolved. The mind and the body can be united centered upon True Love.

How should we go about this? Because of the Fall of Man, the human body has become the dwelling place of Satan and we didn’t know that. The blood that flows through you is of the satanic blood lineage. The Fall of Adam and Eve occurred during their teen years and today is the harvest time of those bad fruits. We find so many teenagers behaving immorally. As you sow, so shall you reap. We have to get down to re-seeding, because all the good American homes are now in trouble because of their children. Parents have become helpless to save their own children from the miserable direction they are headed in. We have to expel Satan from our lives. Is Reverend Moon wrong? (No.) Then we have to begin cleaning up the house from today on. (Applause.)

World peace is on everyone’s mind today. How can the United States find peace with Russia? In North Korea, Kim Il Sung is trying to make a nuclear weapon, and the United States is very upset about this. Where shall we begin to solve these problems? When there is a problem between husband and wife, do you have a very nice day after that? It doesn’t matter what a person’s rank is. The President of the United States has the exact same human problems. When the mind and body are struggling within his heart, he cannot find peace.

So many young people are suicidal today because they have not found any hope, they have not discovered how to overcome the struggle between the mind and body. People are discussing this huge topic of world peace in general, but before we begin to discuss such an enormous topic, first and foremost we have to deal with ourselves. No one can ever enter the Kingdom of Heaven until he or she becomes peaceful within themselves by uniting their mind and body. (Applause.) On the contrary, when there is perfect harmony between the mind and body, then God dwells within that person and they become God’s prince or princess. Once you are united within yourself centered upon God, you then become God’s children and part of God’s royal family.

You want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but have you united your mind and body? This is the problem. Adam and Eve were created as God’s son and daughter. They were truly the prince and princess of God. If Adam and Eve were created that way, then what about us? Once we become a true son or daughter of God, we are His princes and princesses. Men and women are supposed to fulfill the cry of their consciences. If Reverend Moon is truly showing you how to become a son or daughter and a prince or princess of God, would you follow Reverend Moon?

In a way, Christianity is anti-world. Instead of helping the world today, Christianity is bringing the world down. God once had great hope for Christianity, and after World War II, He gave the world into the hands of Christianity. It was God’s hope that Christianity would create the Kingdom of Heaven on earth right after World War II, but instead what do we see today? Many churches today have become like cemeteries. In the face of today’s insurmountable social crime, the churches have become helpless.

One thing is for sure: those who are truly following Reverend Moon have nothing to do with AIDS, drugs, free sex or pre-marital sex. These are the kind of people I am creating. When the Christian church becomes so helpless, they need to be re-educated or revolutionized.

When we are trying to revolutionize the churches, we cannot think in terms of color. God does not see color. What color is love? It is a rainbow color because the human race is the color of love. If Reverend Moon were a white man, would he have been persecuted in the way that he has? No. If Reverend Moon had been without persecution, he could have done the most incredible job in America. However, the racial barrier became an obstacle. Americans have opposed him so much, but now there is nothing more to oppose because there is no solution other than Reverend Moon’s solution. (Applause.)

Today’s topic is True Parents and the Creation of the Ideal Family. Because of the Fall of Man, the Old Testament came into being. Without the Fall, there would have been no such thing as an Old Testament era. The Old Testament became a necessary process of healing because of the Fall of Man. When Jesus Christ came proclaiming a new truth, the New Testament era began. God did not end it all with the New Testament. This is very important for the ministers here today to understand. God is not merely making promises throughout the Old and New Testaments. He will fulfill it all some day, so there must be a Completed Testament.

When you look in the dictionary can you find the words “Completed Testament”? Can you find the words “True Parents”? (No.) Reverend Moon went around the country proclaiming True Parents and the Completed Testament Age. If someone wanted to oppose him, they could not find a basis. The dictionary gives no definition of these terms, so if you wish to oppose Reverend Moon, you have to come to him and learn what they mean. Then you may oppose him if you want to.

The amazing thing is that when you are living in a one-eyed society and you have two eyes, you are really a monster simply because you can see. Today we are living in an almost totally one-eyed society. Adam and Eve had not only physical eyesight but also spiritual eyesight. They could see both physically and spiritually. This was God’s gift to man, but because of the Fall, this gift has been lost. We only see with one eye, our physical eyes. The greatest problem today is that we are so ignorant of the spiritual world. You don’t see what Reverend Moon can see, you don’t understand what Reverend Moon understands. Even though it may be difficult for you to hear, the truth of the matter is that Reverend Moon has two eyes and you all have one. Therefore, when I am talking about another world, you believe me to be heretical. When you come here to Reverend Moon he tries to make you into two-eyed men and women. Do you like that? (Applause.) Two eyes are very important. Then you are able to live harmoniously here and at the same time know the truth about the spiritual world. You can experience the Kingdom of God on earth and the Kingdom of God in heaven and then you have no fear.

Do you think Reverend Moon is telling you the truth? Ever since Reverend Moon came to America, he appears to have said some incredibly fantastic things, but everything has come out on target. His predictions were correct. He declared that this country would decline, and it has been declining. Unificationists, scornfully called “Moonies,” know the truth. At least they are trying to imitate me. They may not have completely two-eyed vision, but at least they have one and a half eyes. (Laughter.) You ministers here might feel disturbed by what I am saying, but nevertheless I hope you enjoy it because you need this kind of speech. Being a minister, you wanted to be served but did not want to serve. We want to make sacrificially serving ministers of you all. That is good for you.

You have to teach why God created man, not just tell them to read the Bible. The faithful were reading the Old Testament during the Old Testament period, but when Jesus came, they crucified him. Reading the Bible is not a solution for an individual’s life; how to read it is important. There has to be a scientific, logical explanation because now is not the time for blind faith. You have to have a logical, scientific explanation of the truth and that alone will be able to penetrate this twentieth century world. Blind faith, reading the Bible and going to church regularly will not work anymore. These are only matches, which can create a little fire here and there, but you cannot change the universe and explode the entire cosmos unless you have power like a spiritual atomic bomb. That kind of power alone will be able to transform the universe.

What is conscience and who am I? A son of God? We may say it, but did we truly realize the position of the children of God? In order to become sons and daughters of God, you need to have the same lineage that is flowing from God; the same life, love and lineage. Do you have God’s life, love and lineage? No, you have fallen life, fallen love and fallen lineage. You inherited your father’s life, love and lineage and it connects you to your father. If we are a son of God, then we have to relate to the life of God, the love of God, and the lineage of God.

When God is in agony, do you feel the same suffering within you? When He is happy, do you feel that joy within you? If not, how can we claim to be His children? You want to become sons and daughters of God, don’t you? The only thing which prevents us is the loss of True Life, True Love, and the True Lineage of God. This is because of the Fall of Man, which caused all humanity to inherit illicit life, illicit love and illicit lineage centered upon Satan. This makes us Satan’s children, and we have to cleanly cut off from those things and graft into True Life, True Love and True Lineage.

In the Garden of Eden God did not need or want religion. Why should He? Religion has become a necessity only because of the Fall of Man. Religion is necessary to help us rectify the wrong. The mind is on the side of God and the body is on the side of Satan and religious discipline works to bring the body back into obedience to the mind.

Religious discipline is very harsh towards the body, requiring it to do early morning prayers and fasting. The body doesn’t like this discipline, but the mind is urging it all the time towards the side of God. This is the way religion has been trying to subjugate the body to the will of the mind. Why? The mind is supposed to be the plus or subject and the body is supposed to be the minus and object, but due to the Fall, the body has become another plus. Therefore, we have to find a way to subjugate this second plus and turn it into a minus.

Satan’s love is running through the body, and God’s love is running through the mind. Even Satan knows that the conscience is on the side of God. The conscience is always quietly warning you not to take the wrong action, but the body rebels against the conscience. This is how everybody is living today. Conscience is plus and on the side of God, whereas the body is supposed to be the minus.

Human growth passes through the formation, growth and perfection levels. At the growth level, Adam and Eve’s temptation came to them in the form of illicit love and this illicit love coursing through their bodies created another plus. Even though the love they felt was illicit, it was stronger than the power of conscience. However, if they had reached the perfection level, the conscience would have united with the ultimate love: lawful, God-centered love. That love would have been invincible. Nothing would have been able to alter the quality of that God-centered love. Love is most powerful, even illicit love, and so during the growth period, illicit love won over the power of conscience. That is how the Fall came about.

When a beautiful woman is sitting beside us, the conscience warns us not to touch her, but the body wants to touch and kiss her. The power of love has been demonstrated to be more powerful than the power of conscience. This kind of danger exists only temporarily. It is not a permanent state of affairs, because once men and women grow to perfection and are united with God’s True Love, no power under the sun can break that. It would be impossible for men and women to be unfaithful to one another once they reach the complete dominion of God’s love, because the body would not have that freedom. The mind would be completely in control. If your discipline is such that your conscience wins over the dictates of your body, including the temptation of illicit love, then you shall win a ticket to heaven. You may not realize this today, but you will know one day. We will all end up in the spiritual world some day. Once you reach that world, you will realize that what Reverend Moon told you on February 15, 1994, was absolutely correct. That is why I have no fear of talking to you this way.

You heard the word “True Parents” today. Were there True Parents in the past? (No.) In future times will there be a new appearance of the True Parents? (No.) How about now? (Yes.) Amazing! There is only one set of True Parents forever. There is only one time in history when the True Parents are here to bring all these goodies to you. Everybody needs True Parents. Your name is listed in the book of wanting to be a member of the True Parents’ family. Would that make you miserable or happy? (Happy.)

The disciples of Jesus Christ were headed by Simon Peter. They were fishermen of Galilee, carpenters and even prostitutes. Do you think God wanted his only begotten son to be surrounded by prostitutes and fishermen, or did He want him to be surrounded by men like John the Baptist and Zechariah? He wanted him surrounded by the very best, by men like John the Baptist. How have you ministers been interpreting Jesus’ words: “Of men born of women none was greater than John, but in the Kingdom of Heaven the least is greater than he”? Even the least who followed Jesus was greater than John in the Kingdom of Heaven. John the Baptist testified to Jesus as the son of God at the Jordan River and then he betrayed him. Why was he less than the least important in the Kingdom of Heaven? Because he failed, he chased after the wrong thing. Even the least knew that Jesus was the Messiah, the son of God. John the Baptist was supposedly the greatest man of faith and yet he was the one who betrayed God. The Kingdom of Heaven is occupied by those who make effort. Read Matthew 11. John the Baptist got himself beheaded through involving himself in a love scandal of King Herod. John the Baptist was not supposed to be involved in such an insignificant matter. He had greater things to do. When he failed to do his original mission, he died miserably.

Our congregation here today consists mainly of young people. They are not ministers or graduates of theological seminaries. Do you think God wanted to have these people filling this auditorium or men like you? God wanted men like you, leaders of society, listening to Reverend Moon and propagating his teaching and changing the world. Most ministers are speaking against me. By teaching you this message, will Reverend Moon be entitled to a higher heaven or a lower heaven than the ministers out there who oppose him?

The Fall of Man took place because the power of love is so great that even illicit love can overcome the power of conscience during the period of growth. True Love is the power that can unite your mind and body and make you a dwelling place of God. What is True Love? (God’s love.) It is God’s love, but what kind of love is that? If you know that, then you know True Love. Do you want to have a love partner who is superior to you or inferior to you? (Better.) We all want somebody better. What about you. Do you want your wife to be better than you? (Yes.) How much better-just a little bit? (A thousand times better.) Infinite times! Where does that mind come from? God thinks that way.

We come to the ultimate question then. Did God want to have His lover better than Himself or not? (Yes.) Let the famous people answer. (Laughter.) What about God? Did He want to have His own children be better than Himself or not? (Yes.) Do you think that God also needs love, or do you think that He is so powerful that He doesn’t need love? (He needs love.) Who is the partner of love for God? That is why God created men and women: to be His love partners. The purpose of creation from all things to human beings is to create a partner of love for God.

Are monkeys God’s supreme love partners? (No.) Darwin’s theory of evolution states that man arose from monkeys. Don’t listen to that. From the amoeba to the monkey, all the way up to human beings, there are millions of cycles of new creations leading to more advanced creatures. All of creation is going through the route of love, one gate after another, creating a higher and more sophisticated creation. Do you think that it would happen that an insect would evolve into a bird and a bird into a higher animal? This theory completely excludes spirit and centers upon the physical alone. Internally speaking, more creative energy comes each time, through each love gate, through each love process. The law of the universe is such that the good and better thing cannot occur automatically. It needs creative energy put into it. Darwin’s evolution theory does not recognize two things: one is that every stage of creation is the product of the love of God, and the other is that God centered upon the pair system from the lowest amoeba all the way to humankind.

Even within the mineral kingdom, we see plus ions and minus ions and similar relationships, all the way up through every level of creation. Everything is plus or minus, male or female. Do you think the amoeba came first or did the creative pair system concept? The concept came first. Do you imagine that a man living with a monkey could bring forth an Einstein even if they were married for one hundred years? That doesn’t happen. This is why communism, based upon the theory of evolution, would not work. Communism declined simply because it was not true. It was propagated based upon lies and God would not allow it to prosper. Only truth shall prevail. (Applause.)

I am speaking from a basic, fundamental philosophical and religious viewpoint. Each of you wish for a partner who is better than you in every way. By the same token, God is looking to create something and someone greater than Himself. If the energy of God is one hundred percent, do you suppose He would expend only ninety percent in creation or would He give the full one hundred percent? How about one hundred percent a thousand times over? In His investment of a one hundred percent a thousand times over, He would invest and forget the previous giving and give again and again. God has given like that and forgotten about it. I would like you to know that this entire universe was created in this process. God not only gave one hundred percent of His energy, He repeated this more than 10,000 times.

Satan has been destroying God’s creation, but God is giving another one hundred percent and forgetting over and over again. Satan cannot do this because Satan’s basic nature is one of selfishness. Out of all this, one important principle emerges, which is that True Love emerges when you are trying to give yourself unto your life. Do you love your wife with that kind of love-are you a true husband? Can you give your life in order to save your wife? (Yes.) Then another life for your wife? (Yes.) How about three times more? (Yes.) That is wonderful, more than God. This sounds very good, but, then, words are easy.

A true husband and true wife are ready to give their love and their lives not one time but three times over. God is doing exactly the same thing. He wants to give life to the world. That is why He created Adam and Eve, but because of the Fall of Man, that did not succeed. God gave Jesus Christ to humankind to become its True Parent, but he was crucified. Therefore, a third Adam is needed. We can see how God has given His life again and again until the completion of the salvation of mankind. The Bible tells us that those who try to preserve their life will lose it, and those who give their life for the sake of others will find it. Unless you give your life, no new life will come about. There is no greater love than to lay down your life for the sake of your friend. All these are expressions of True Love. We have to go beyond the satanic realm. The standard of the love of God is above that.

Why is it that members of your own family become your own enemy? They don’t perceive you as wise to be following Jesus’ teachings. When Reverend Moon began his ministry, his entire family opposed him because they envisioned a much greater life for him in a secular sense. The whole nation of Korea came against me, the whole world came against me, but nothing can stop me. Reverend Moon is indeed qualified to be a True Parent. Amen. (Applause.)

False parents can only be liberated by the appearance of the True Parents. You can only be liberated by receiving new love, a new life and a new lineage. The entire satanic world has been trying to block the appearance of the True Parents. I was opposed by both the communist and democratic worlds. Primarily, Christianity opposed me. As Reverend Moon kept speaking the truth, even you ministers came to realize that a new prophet must appear for the salvation of the world. (Applause.)

I have nothing to do with the White House, but I cannot stand by and see this country’s leadership become so weak that it surrenders under communism. The United States is a Christian nation and ultimately a revival is coming, because God loves America and especially Christianity. Christianity cannot be destroyed. Christianity must be revived. Reverend Moon initiated the Washington Times. Why? It seems crazy, but now so many ministers praise and support Reverend Moon because the Washington Times cuts through the immorality in this country. This makes all the expenditure worthwhile.

I want to see a good man flourish and become the leader of this nation. President Clinton has much to repent for; leaders in Congress have a lot to repent for; and through our paper we want to let them know. Have you joined together with me in this crusade? (Amen.)

You are very good at saying amen, but the time has come for us to seriously get down to work. We must take our lives seriously. Your meeting with Reverend Moon is not coincidental. It is a historical event and your sons and grandchildren will know about it and through them you will be either praised or cursed. Reverend Moon’s sermons have been compiled in 250 volumes, but all of them include the kind of message you are hearing today. Nobody is taking this seriously. This problem is serious and Reverend Moon’s teachings will never die. He will go on, and you shall be reckoned with. Reverend Moon’s teachings will prevail one way or another, either now or later. It is better now than later.

We really have a rainbow congregation here, all colors of hair, eyes and skin. Out of these people, a multitude comprising a God-centered race shall arise. You are a different race. You may have many more people in your congregations than are here, but you will not find men and women like these in your congregations. When God is looking down and evaluating the situation, where do you think He will go and dwell? I want you to know that God created man as the supreme creation, as a partner of God Himself. God planted within each one of you a conscience, which is the agent of God. The conscience knows the will of God and is trying to drive you to occupy the most precious thing in God’s own bosom, His love. Human beings are the most ambitious creatures! You will not be satisfied even by gaining the whole world until you dwell within the bosom of God. Then you will become completely intoxicated in His love. There alone can the human being be satisfied. (Applause.) This is the purpose of human life.

Even though all human beings are fallen, there is hope because each one has a conscience, the agent of God, implanted within them. The problem is how to strengthen our conscience. First of all, we must know the tragedy of the Fall of Man as well and as deeply as God does. It was so tragic because the result has been that each one of us has been the battleground of Satan and God fighting within us. Often we have sided with Satan. That battle has been going on from the time of the creation until now. It is still going on today. Our blood came from the satanic lineage. All throughout the years there have been so many crimes, so many people have been killed, so many immoral acts have been committed. You have to feel so much hatred towards the satanic blood that you have the urge to break open your veins and drain it out. You have been an instrument of Satan, and your body has gone 180 degrees against the way of the conscience.

The habitual fallen life is very dreadful. Habit is a very difficult thing to break. Our five senses have certain habits that cause us to want to hear a certain kind of music, to see certain things, to smell certain things. We are habitually seasoned and we have to get out from it. This is very difficult, but we must do it. You cannot get out from it until you plant a new tradition, new way of life. You must find new things to enjoy and become busy with new things.

We want to eliminate the agony of the Fall by liberating our consciences from the domination of our physical bodies. If your body is hungry, then you make it fast. If it is sleepy, you make it open its eyes. We have to go in the opposite direction. If you want to wear a beautiful suit, instead give it to the needy and wear rags. In every regard, try to go against the orders of your body. The battle between the mind and body is a severe battle, a committed battle. Do you suppose that sitting in a living room in a comfortable armchair will win this battle between your mind and body? It will not.

Reverend Moon himself is a living standard. He has been in and out of jail six times, often under the most incredible torment. They virtually killed me many times. Bleeding and beaten, they threw me out into the snow to freeze to death. Yet I never gave up, not once. (Applause.)

God exists for the sake of others, not for Himself. This is a most important attribute of God. Not only is this the source of True Love, it is the source of the true creation of God. Because God lives for the sake of His creation, God was motivated to create something wonderful, better than Himself. God lived for the sake of humanity. The Fall of Man brought about self-centered love. In opposition to God’s way of life, which is to live for the sake of others, Satan’s way is to live for the sake of one’s self. This is the battle between God and Satan. The spiritual world operates on this principle, and without this kind of training in the physical world, you will not be able to maneuver in the spiritual world. When you live for the sake of others, wherever you go, you are in harmony with and are welcomed by others because you are existing for their sake.

When Reverend Moon came to America, he came to give himself for the sake of this nation. It used to be that the nation opposed Reverend Moon and wanted him to go home. They put him in jail and wanted to deport him, but ever since Danbury, the situation has changed. Even the United States government feels that America needs Reverend Moon now. (Applause.) When you live for the sake of others, then you become a central person of your society. Why were the great patriots of America loved and respected? Because they lived for the sake of the country and its people, not for themselves. Therefore, they are respected and honored in history.

Who is Reverend Moon? He is not living just for the sake of one nation. He goes beyond America, beyond Korea, beyond black and white, and wants to give his entire life for the will of God, for the sake of humanity. I want to give God’s love to humanity. This has brought incredible persecution to me, but as far as Reverend Moon is concerned, I receive a warm welcome wherever I go. God always brings incredible success and has all throughout my life. My life’s goal has been to live as God lives and to imitate the love of God. I really don’t care if all of humanity comes against me as long as God loves me. As long as God is on my side, I fear nothing.

When I went to Danbury, everybody imagined that I was finished, but I had hope. I saw beyond Danbury. I know that God loves me and that wherever I go, God is there ahead of me, preparing the way so that miraculous things can happen. I forget my adversaries, I forget the American people’s persecution of me. I just love them and keep giving 100 percent of myself and my resources again and again. God always promises my way to be prosperous and He always opens up the way for new challenges and new successes. The central person always takes up the responsibility and never negates it. Anyone who is truly responsible for the sake of this nation and world has to be a man of God.

I am the one who takes up the responsibility, I am the one to go to jail, not my people. Whenever anything happens, the buck stops here. I always thank God, no matter what. First, I take up the responsibility and, secondly, I bring harmony. God’s promise of prosperity and protection have always been with me. I always push those who are following me, but I want them to be prosperous. Through the Danbury ordeal, we ministers became very good friends. We fought together. Danbury brought about a miracle in my ministry in the United States. If those ministers continue to work with me and become evangelists to 120 different countries, we could do so much. Mrs. Moon preached a most incredible truth in forty different countries alone, non-stop. (Applause.) If one lady can do forty countries by herself, what about men like you? You can do 120 different countries without any difficulty. Do it.

When God is living within you and you feel God totally, then first of all, you have responsibility. I am paying the salaries of thousands of people around the world, but I never received one penny of a salary for myself, because I am the originator, so I have nothing. I am one dot, the eye of the hurricane. I want to be responsible for America and give the blessing to America. If you are living for the sake of America, how can you be destroyed? I am living proof that by following the principles of God, you shall not perish. (Applause.)

Would you like to be loved or to love others? Satan likes the ideology of individualism very much because he is the king of individualism. America has grown more and more individualistic over the years; this is not a good sign. The fact that America has become more and more individualistic shows in the national policy of concern for the nation before concern for the world. There are those who don’t even think on the national level, only on the family and individual levels. By living this way, this nation will not prosper. Satan either has to become your servant or you shall become his victim. There is no partnership.

Have you been living for the sake of your congregation or do they live for you? Do you pastor the church for material gain or do you want to pastor where you are able to engender life in the poor and suffering congregation? (Poor church.) That sounds very good.

Man is created for the sake of woman and if men existed without women, humanity would be extinguished in less than 100 years. Man thought that he was created for his own sake. Women are not created for themselves, but for the sake of men. God created men and women in such a way that they harmonize sexually. Man goes into woman and woman goes into man. Man is not the owner of his sexual organ. It belongs to his wife. You have to know clearly that the man’s sexual organ does not belong to the man. This is the simple truth and no power can change this truth. The woman’s sexual organ is owned by her husband. The two of you exchange ownership and then there is only one owner forever. This was how God created Adam and Eve. The problem has come through the idea that you have ownership over your sexual organ and you have the right to use it however your body dictates.

Now it is almost noon. Shall we continue or shall we stop? (Continue.) What rascals you are. This is my birthday and you are trying to work me to death. Let us draw the conclusion. Before True Parents come into being, a true couple must exist. Before there can be a true couple, there should be true brotherhood and sisterhood. Before true brotherhood, there should be true childhood. The purpose of human relationships is to be a child of good parents, attain good brotherhood, then good “coupledom”, and then go on up to good parenthood.

All these things can be accomplished between men and women. That was the whole purpose of Adam and Eve, the first ancestors. Where did all these relationships come from? They came from our ancestors and, ultimately, God. God longs for the establishment of all these relationships. Tragically, God did not have His own children. He has not seen the establishment of all these relationships because all was contaminated by the satanic element. God has not owned or experienced any of these relationships, but His heart has been longing for them and you and I have the same desire as God. God is our parent and we are His children. As our parent is, so are we.

Our desire as human beings is to fulfill this longing within our own families: to be good children, to be good brothers and sisters, a good husband or wife, and to be good parents. You are the model for others to become like yourselves. Through their children, parents are reminded of their own childhoods. As husband and wife, you really enjoy your children. The wife can know more about her husband through their children and vice versa. This generates so much joy between husband and wife. Through your children, you live a second life. When they go to school and find a boyfriend or girlfriend, you are reminded how you both were in your youth. You know you must properly guide them, but you live another life through your children, too. You feel that as you have such a wonderful wife and loving children, you want your children to find a wonderful spouse and enjoy their own children, too. It is the desire of human beings to have their children prosper throughout the world and fill the earth.

God is also going through this period of childhood, brotherhood, “couplehood” and parenthood. God wished to have this experience through creating human beings. Just because God is invisible, it does not mean that He is non-existent. When God looked at Adam and Eve, His own image, he could feel joy, as we feel joy as parents. Once Adam and Eve were perfected and God was dwelling totally in them, they would have had children who would grow and through Adam and Eve, God could enjoy the entire love experience again.

Why did God bother to create? He created in order to fulfill love. Why does God need substantial men and women? When you pull your finger towards your eyes and it gets closer and closer, once it comes close to your face are you able to see your finger well? (No.) Why? Once you become one with it, you don’t see it anymore. Have you seen or touched your mind? How do you know that you have one? You know it through your feelings. Have you seen or touched love itself? (No.) Then how do you know that love exists? It is through your feelings. Have you seen and touched God? (No.) Then how can you know that God exists? You know it through your feelings. No one can deny this consciousness.

When you totally become one, you don’t see it. This is important. Your sensation can come when your object is apart from you, but when your object totally becomes one with you, then you no longer see it or feel it. This is why God needs a substantial creation, apart from Him, a separate entity, so that He can have an exact reflection and sensation. Do you follow? (Yes.) If you become totally one within yourself, then you don’t feel it. The reason you become totally one within yourself is so that when your substantial object appears, you are able to have a 100 percent reaction in joy, happiness and love.

Do you count your heart beats? It is like a drum beat. How many times do you feel that drum beat? You don’t even realize your heart is beating until you have some reason to go to the doctor. You blink your eyes thousands of times a day, but do you feel that each time? Why? Because it is totally a part of you. Are you able to draw your face at any time of the day, knowing exactly how you look without looking at your picture? Why? Because it is yours, you are one with it. Even though you have love within you, you don’t feel it because you are one with it. You have a conscience, you have God within you, but you don’t feel God until such time as you have a substantial partner. The sensation of love doesn’t come when you are alone but when you are in the presence of your partner. It is the same for God. He also needs the stimulation of love through His object. God has power, love, wisdom and all that He needs, but until He has a substantial partner with whom He can have give and take, He doesn’t feel joy, love or happiness. It is for this reason that God created man.

(Father draws on the blackboard.) This is an invisible area. God is in the center and within God exists every aspect of human life: the child, the brothers and sisters, the couple and parents. However, He does not feel all this because in order for Him to feel these things, they must be reflected in a physical creation. God created Adam and Eve in the image of Himself, His own physical being. God wanted to imprint His invisible image into human life starting with Adam and Eve, allowing them first to be children, then brother and sister, then to experience being a couple, and then parents. Each of these phases correspond to God. When He was a child, it was represented here, when God was a boy and girl it was represented here, when God was a couple, it was represented here, and parenthood was represented here. In other words, it was a reflection.

All these different kinds of love-the love a child experiences, brotherly love, conjugal love, parental love-are they consummated at one time or at separate times? Are they consummated in four places or in one place? The consummation point is right here in the center. Each individual is in the man or woman’s position, but they join together in the center and this is the point of fulfillment. This is the real manifestation of God in the creation. This is the cause and this is the effect. At this point, the invisible becomes visible. The dwelling of God is with men at this point. This is the point where marriage takes place between men and women, where they become husband and wife. This point is the moment of fulfillment of the entire creation. When you become married, plus and minus become totally one. This unity should be the sharing of first love. The first night when husband and wife join together in total unity through complete physical and spiritual love, when the sexual organs join in total harmony-that is the point where the whole purpose of creation is fulfilled. That is why we cannot take this lightly.

The first realm of love is as a child. The love of the parents is manifested into the children. It is the completion of brotherhood. Then there is the love of couples and then the love of parents. That is the point at which God wanted to feel the sensation of absolute joy in the fulfillment of the creation. All of human life is moving toward a culminating point. God did not want anything to go wrong before you reach this point as pure, genuine children of God. God gave men and women sexual organs so they could join together, which is the most incredible blessing. Through their coming together, God wants to feel joy in the True Love palace. This is the beginning point of true happiness. That is the way men and women must begin their lives together. The sexual organs were the palace of love, the palace of life, and the palace of lineage before the Fall.

We inherit our blood lineage through the sexual act. That is not only the consummation point for men and women, it is also the point of consummation for God. This is the completion or perfection of the invisible world. The entire invisible image of God is completed upon this point. When Adam and Eve would have come to this point, it would have been the marriage of the Lamb, not only for Adam and Eve, but for God as well. God would also have married that same day, with the same joy, the same fulfillment.

(Father draws on the blackboard.) God is coming down here and Adam and Eve are going up towards the center and God is dwelling within Adam and Eve. When they fulfill their True Love, it is the place where God also fulfills His True Love. When Adam and Eve become the parents of humanity, then God becomes the Parent, too. Adam and Eve become the horizontal parents of humanity, whereas God is the vertical Parent of humanity.

Has God experienced this kind of wedding day? Unfortunately not. Who is God? He is the vertical Parent. Perfected Adam and Eve, not fallen Adam and Eve, should become the horizontal parents of humankind. My conscience represents the vertical parent, God, and True Parents represent the horizontal parents. You must receive the blood lineage from the True Parents and on that day you shall be known as true sons and daughters of God. That is the point. Your conscience is your vertical parents and your body is the horizontal parents. Centered upon True Love, they represent the real you eternally.

“I am a child of God, I am the image of God and True Parents.” Once we become like that, our mind and body will not fight, men and women will not fight. The spiritual world and the physical world, creator and created, all become one at that point. This is where the joy of creation comes into being. This is the beginning of happiness and hope and we must restore this, we must attain this. This is the life which God envisioned for every man and woman here on earth and when you finish this kind of earthly life, you will go to the Kingdom of Heaven in the eternal world. Amen. (Applause.)

Human beings are the supreme creation. They were created for two worlds, the physical and the spiritual worlds. There is supposed to be no barrier between these two worlds for us; we are supposed to communicate back and forth. Therefore, human beings are not only the central figures here on earth but also in the spiritual world. We have been created in the image of God, living as God here on earth and thereafter in the Kingdom of Heaven in the spiritual world. There would be no more death. You are the princes and princesses of this physical world and of the spiritual world. The two worlds are identical, so you can fit into either one. You have complete harmony and complete freedom wherever you go.

All this has to be done here on earth, for once you leave this earthly plane, there is no more chance to perfect yourself. Life here on earth is so precious. Everything that you bind here shall be bound in heaven, whatever you loose here shall be loosed in the spiritual realm as well. We have a golden opportunity here on earth. The Kingdom of Heaven in heaven shall be the dwelling place of the princes and princesses of God who have completely inherited True Life, True Love, and True Lineage from God and True Parents. (Applause.) Amen. The ultimate conclusion is that this is accomplished by the Messiah. The Second Coming of the Messiah shall be anointed as the True Parents. They shall begin the True Family here on earth and the new reorganization of humankind shall begin. This is the day which we are celebrating and this is the meaning of the topic given at the beginning of this day’s sermon. Amen. (Applause.)

The simple conclusion and practical advice for the ministers is that since you were married under false parents, you must be married again under True Parents. (Applause.) The new human registration in heaven has begun. That is what the Bible refers to as the Book of Life. Until you reach this point, you have no time to sleep. You must be wide awake. Amen. (Applause.) God bless you.

## WHO WAS I?

Translator – Peter Kim

The title of Father’s speech this morning is Na Noon Nu Goo Aet Noon Ga.

Then who were you? Most of you will respond, “I was an American.” Japanese may respond that they were Japanese. Also, you may regard yourself in relationship to your school or university. What about now? Now you will say, “I am a Unification Church member.” Is that the end of it? What is the purpose of your being a Unification Church member? At every step of our lives-when we go to high school or university, as an American citizen, as a Unification Church member-we have a purpose. What is the purpose of our going to school, of being an American citizen or of being a Unification Church member?

What is when we say “I,” it generally includes both man and woman. As a man, I should be able to connect to the past, present and future; so where can I stand in order to be able to connect all these different time periods? Each period is different, the past is not the present and the present is not the future. There are all different kinds of time periods and yet there is only one distinct conclusion. That is that man and woman exist there, no matter what time period we are talking about. Man needs woman and woman needs man.

Then once again we ask the question, why, for what reason, were man and woman born? Were they born to remain as young children, to study, to become American citizens? The ultimate purpose of man is to become the husband of a woman and for a woman, it is to become the wife of a man. Regardless of the time period, this eternal universal formula of man for woman and woman for man remains.

Regardless of how good a time you had in the past, if your present situation is miserable, then you are a miserable person. No matter how rosy your future may appear, if you don’t have your spouse then your future can be interpreted as miserable. Why do we need each other? Because man and woman want to become husband and wife and produce children, a son like the husband and a daughter like the wife. Furthermore, whether you like it or not you go after happiness by loving your son and daughter as much as you love your husband and wife. That is where your happiness can be found. Therefore, our universal desire is to raise our children and see them become like ourselves, as husband and wife, throughout eternity. This is how the human race has been developing and this is what we wish to see in the future also. The desire to see one’s tribe and lineage continued is within everybody: my tribe, my people, my nation. When we refer to “my people” and “my lineage,” it should not be limited only to the past and present time, but should continue for eternity.

We all have a limitation in terms of our physical life here on earth, so it would be impossible to watch over our lineage for eternity. This means that we have to be connected to someplace other than this earthly life. Once we join the spiritual world there is no limit of time or space whatsoever. No matter how many thousands of years we may stay there, we still can enjoy the future with our coming generations. What will be the most joyful experience in the spiritual world? The ideal that we are dreaming of experiencing in the spiritual world will be filled with ideal children, like our own daughters and sons whom we can live together with for eternity. That is our ideal dream.

Everybody wants to be the center of their own lineage, their own tribe and their own people. Do you agree? Regardless of whether they lived in the past, the present or the future, they all want to begin centering from themselves: my parents, my spouse, my children, my ancestors. When we say “I,” it includes both men and women, but there are so many men and women! Because we all desire to become the best, I want to know where is the place where I can stand as a representative of man and woman? What qualifies an individual to become the representative of an entire race? In order to have that kind of qualification you must be able to feel you are qualified to represent the entire group-not centering upon self-but representing the entire humanity. That kind of conviction and confidence should be with you. When that kind of qualified man and woman become one, then that is the ideal couple. Why do we refer to them as “ideal couple”? In the beginning, when God created Adam and Eve, He wanted them to become an ideal man and woman who would represent the entire world. Why are Unification Church members so precious in this world? Because we are the ones who have the qualification to say, “I, as a man, represent the entire 2.5 billion men in this world” and, “I, as a woman, represent the entire 2.5 billion women in the world.” When the man and woman who are able to represent all men and women of the world become one, they become the ideal couple who can represent the entire human race. That is the way the entire human race can be united. It’s the beginning point where people can become one.

You should think that “I” represents all my organs, my entire body. That is the value of “I”. As you move your arm and finger, your eye should not resist; rather, the eye should follow the same direction. By the same token, if your leg moves, the eye coordinates with it. Whatever part of your body moves, your eyes must coordinate together. It is up to your mind. If your mind moves in a certain direction, your body must follow that direction because the mind is the center. Your nose is also in the center, so when you move forward your nose is in front of every other organ of your body. (Laughter.) It is like the representative. Your other organs may protest that they don’t want to see the nose in front. Then you would have to walk sideways so that your ear can be ahead! (Laughter.) Actually, when it comes to reality, it doesn’t matter which organ we are talking about, they are all representatives of your entire being. By the same token, should Reverend Moon, the founder of the Unification Church, just favor the white race or the black race? No. He should love every race equally because he is their representative.

If there are many different black countries and the presidents are all fighting one another, Father still has to love and consolidate them and somehow build unity amongst them. If there is somebody who will remain the representative of the entire human race until the last, he will be the winner. As there are so many men and women, we may wonder what is the qualification needed in order to represent the entire human race? Will diamonds and money do it? If money and diamonds are the qualification then people will fight.

How about knowledge? Knowledge alone cannot qualify one for that position. If knowledge is the key, then the person with the most knowledge will be so arrogant that he will demand everybody else listen to him. In the scholastic world if one scholar knows even one formula that nobody else knows he boasts unbearably much about his discovery. Other scholars will suffer a lot if that happens. Don’t you agree? When the other scholars suffer under his arrogance, they will get together and spit on him. However, even if one particular scholar has the most knowledge, if he is humble enough then others will join together and raise him up. If anybody is arrogant he will be punched down to be made humble, but if somebody is humble then everybody will raise him up. What does that mean? People in general have a desire to be equal. What is the substance which can equalize all the different people in all the different fields of life? Love. Look at little babies; they don’t really have anything to offer, yet when you look at them you just feel love. You want to put your cheek against theirs and kiss them, right? Even little puppies come and lick babies’ cheeks. You have seen this, haven’t you? (Laughter.) Therefore, love is the substance that can equalize no matter how high or how low.

Let us suppose there is a family whose grandfather was the president of a big country for a long time and was very famous throughout the world. His entire family is very simple and in some ways without formal education and yet there is no conflict there as in the political world because they are a family. Even though they are all at different levels, what is the substance that unifies them and creates peace and harmony in the family? Let’s say you have a big sack which contains your family. In it we find yellow, black, white, educated people and uneducated people. Everybody can be contained there and become one family unit. What about God? When you join the spiritual world do you think that you will travel alone or will you need the family environment? (We need it.) Forever? (Yes.)

We are referring to love, but there are many different kinds of love. What kind of love are we referring to? (True Love.) Then what is True Love? Where can you find True Love? If you grab a man or hold a woman, can you gain True Love? Let’s face the reality, is the world out there good or evil? (Evil.) Why do you say so? Answer Father, why do you say so? Because it is lacking True Love; it cannot be found out there. Suppose True Love is above water level and the entire world out there is below water level, then how can you find True Love? That is why the Bible tells us, “Those who seek their lives will lose it and those who are willing to give their life will gain life.” It is kind of paradoxical isn’t it? Does anybody like that kind of statement? Does Reverend Moon like that kind of statement? No, Father doesn’t like it. Why do we need that way of life then? Because we are all sick people and in order to recover we have to go the reverse way. As we are really sick we may die at any moment; therefore, in order to sustain our life, we have to follow the doctor’s direction no matter how difficult that may be. We have to regain our health that means we have to overcome the suffering and sickness.

God created this world and He still exists, so why is this world evil? The world is like a machine that is temporarily broken. If God had created this broken world and broken man, it means He cannot restore this world back since He created it broken. But Heavenly Father did not create this broken world. It means that man and this world lost God and separation took place. Therefore, we are separated from God and if Satan exists it means that we automatically belong to Satan if we don’t belong to God. God wants to lead this entire world into a good direction but Satan, as God’s enemy, will try to lead this entire world in the opposite way where destruction and despair reside. When we observe this world, particularly the rampant free sex, homosexuality, lesbianism, and AIDS here in America, we see that with all these kinds of problems it is like a living hell. Suppose we have to save this world. How should we go about it? We have to turn it around 180 degrees from where it is and head in a different direction, the original direction. The conclusion is simple; since the things we see in this world are what Satan wants most, then what God likes most is totally opposite of this. That means no homosexuality, no free sex, no lesbianism, no AIDS and then there would be no problems. Simple conclusion, simple direction.

Can you find any religious movement in this world, except the Unification Church, which is promoting this kind of ideal? The Unification Church is the only one. Do we have anything to do with AIDS? (No.) What about free sex? (No.) What about homosexuality? (No.) You cannot find this kind of deviated behavior in the animal kingdom or even in the world of insects. Only fallen mankind is dominated by this evil. Once you know then it is very simple, isn’t it?

How evil is this world right now? You cannot even describe it. What is the fundamental cause of all the evil that we see in this world? Again, the fundamental conclusion comes down to man and woman. Once we find the solution for one man and one woman coming out of this mess, then the entire world will have hope. Don’t you agree? (Yes!) No matter what problem we speak about, the fundamental point is that one man and one woman didn’t know where to stand-they didn’t find the right position where they could stand. As a representative of all women, this woman should believe that as long as she can be totally united with this one man, and build peace and harmony with him, that she can have that kind of family and that kind of world. With what? Not with money or knowledge, but by love. What kind of love? Godly love, that you give and forget without expecting anything in return. It is human nature that if somebody sacrifices his or her life three times, or gives you a precious gift three times that you will feel you want to pay back at least once. That kind of mind exists within you. We should have at least that. Jesus also said that we should forgive our enemies seven times seventy. That means for eternity.

Suppose I am such an evil person and Father keeps forgiving me over and over until I finally repented and became a new person. All those people and events that I was related to while I was doing evil will be saved also. The reason is they are all hooked to me. Suppose I knew all these evil people in the world, and one day I became a truly Godly person because of Father’s forgiveness. Then I can go around the world again and give my testimony to those people and by doing so teach them and make them new people. I can truly testify that I was the prince of Hell but because of Reverend Moon’s forgiveness I finally became the prince of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Then others will want to become like me and follow me. That is why Jesus and John the Baptist all proclaimed that the people needed repentance. They didn’t mean only evil people, but everybody, without exception. What is it that we need to repent for? The thing that Satan likes most is the thing that God likes the least; therefore, we should repent in order to rid ourselves of the thinking and the habits which Satan likes most. That means we didn’t love God and we need to repent. We have to repent and redetermine that from now on we will kick Satan away and that we will love God. What does God need? Does He need money, power and knowledge? God has these things. What then does He need? An object of love, a True Love partner. That is the ideal of creation. Do you understand? We have to repent for loving Satan rather than God. We must have a new determination through our repentance that more than we love our spouse, children, family and friends, we have to love God. We didn’t love God with True Love.

True Love is such that you are willing to even sacrifice your life for God and True Parents. Then even if you are born again, you must be willing to risk your life again for their sake. That is the kind of love we are talking about. Suppose you lose your physical life and you join the spiritual world; even in the spiritual world you will seek for your wife because of love. Here is a husband who will wait for eternity until he finds his wife. That kind of love, we can say, is True Love. What would you do with True Love? True Love connects every aspect of life, everything in this universe. As a couple, as long as you have True Love and are united, then the entire universe is with you. Once you are totally united as husband and wife with True Love, including God, then the entire universe will give you applause.

In the orient we have a common understanding from Confucianist teachings that if you have a true ideal in this world but are unable to fulfill it here on earth, you will still be longing for that ideal in the spiritual world. In the Western world do you have that kind of philosophy or understanding? Your original mind doesn’t want one-day love. Is True Mother a happy woman and is True Father a happy man? (Yes!) Ask True Mother. This happiness does not depend on whether it is morning or night or if you are high or low. Whatever situation you may face, True Love remains the same. True Love can fill up everything just like water and air. True Love has such amazing power that as soon as you look at your husband you will see the wide bright world beyond him, like a 100 mile-per-hour speed boat in the wide open ocean. By the same token, when a husband looks at his wife, he should be able to see that kind of world through her. Suppose this ideal husband and wife are driving this 100 mile- per-hour speed boat out in the ocean. The boat jumps and flies because of the speed and the waves. How wonderful it will be for them! Even if you become like a gypsy, so long as you have True Love, this is the happiness of all happiness. No matter what you may do, you will still be happy. Nothing will make you unhappy. Therefore, it is a universal law that women alone cannot get into this kind of experience, nor can men alone achieve it. It needs man and woman together and only then can this kind of happiness be experienced.

Those who have spouses, raise your hands. Have you as a wife, experienced looking at your husband for many days and whether he is sleeping, walking, eating or whatever, your eyes don’t feel tired? Without sleeping of course you have to watch him. (Laughter.) Have you done it? Think about it, if you have that kind of happiness and desire from your heart and you do that, then how happy you will be. You will touch even one strand of your wife or husband’s hair and you will still feel happy. Just by holding one strand of hair you will smile for one month. (Laughter.) By looking at your husband’s photograph, you will bow down for eternity and feel happy for eternity. What a fortunate and happy wife you will be if you can do that!

Your nose will say that in eternity it wants to remain the nose of the husband who loved his wife and felt joy and happiness. That is the way of smelling happiness. That is the way of doing love talk until you have talked so much that your lips become thinner. (Laughter.) If you praise and love your husband that much, is that a sin? (No.) Suppose you grab your spouse and keep on kissing your spouse for 100 years without eating or sleeping and because of that you eventually die together and go to the spiritual world together. Because of that, will you go to hell or what? A love throne would be waiting for you! That is a possible conclusion.

Do you love your spouse to the extent that the five major organs of your body go crazy? You should feel that once you begin talking with your spouse about love, that nothing can stop you. If there was a way to attach your wife to your hip so that no matter where you went or what you did, she would be welded to you, would you do that or not? If you are a husband that is equipped with True Love, you would love that idea, but if you refuse it then it means you are not filled with True Love.

We have 240 million people here in America. Is there anybody except Father who is talking about this? (No.) Who is actually crazy, American people or Father? American people are crazy as Satan’s sons and daughters. Now you understand what True Love is so once you grab it, don’t let it go. Once you are welded to True Love and somebody comes along and cuts you off then you go around and get welded on the other side. Any place that there is space you should be welded again. You husbands and wives, when you sleep together in the same bed do you sleep with your bodies touching or separated? Which way do you usually sleep? Father says we need training to sleep in a sleeping bag-but this is a new invention-a sleeping bag which has two openings, one for two heads. This one bag will contain two bodies and at the end four feet will stick out. That kind of sleeping bag is needed. That means that even in the middle of the night if you have to go to the bathroom, you have to walk together. (Laughter.) You would be lucky, because it doesn’t matter if you do number one or number two your spouse will watch you and protect you. (Laughter.)

Do you like the smell of your husband’s semen? Answer to Father. Does it smell good or bad? You may not like the smell of your wife’s stool, but do you smell your own? Why don’t you smell your own but you smell your wife’s? Because you are not totally one. You don’t smell your own because it is part of you. Do you feel your heart beating all the time? But actually it is beating all the time. Why don’t we feel that all the time? Because it is part of you, it is not separated. Have you seen your conscience? (No.) Have you touched it? (No.) Then how do you know that you have one? Because you feel it. Have you seen love? (No.) Have you touched it? (No.) Then how do you know that love exists? Because you feel it. Have you seen God? (No.) Have you touched God? (No.) How do you know that He exists? By feeling God. Oneness is the key. We shouldn’t be able to feel anything that is a part of us operating separately. When we feel some part of us operating separately, then something is wrong within oneself. Your being, consisting of millions of cells, is totally one, without any separation whatsoever and as an entire being, you are dealing with this universe. There should be no separate feeling. We shouldn’t be able to feel any separation among our body parts. What kind of factory exists about one foot below our mouth? That is where all waste matter is expelled from our body, and although it is so close in proximity to our smelling organ we don’t sense that at all. However, within our daily lives when we are even twenty feet away from somebody and smell their waste, we run away. It is like an object that is within your vision. Once this object gets closer and closer to your eye are you able to see it? No. Why not? Once it becomes so close to you and becomes one with you, then you should know what it is and accept it as it is.

Women look at themselves in the mirror at least ten times a day, don’t you? More than ten times. Every two hours you go to the restroom. You always touch up your makeup or your hair and look at yourself. You look at yourself in the mirror more than man does. So if Father asked you to draw yourself, would you be able to do that easily? (No.) Why not? Because you are totally one with yourself. If you are able to feel the difference, then you are in trouble because it means an outside force has intervened. Do you understand? (Yes.) What about drawing your wife’s face really well, can you do that? If you can, it means you are not totally one with your wife. Of course you are able to draw the shape of your wife’s face, but you are the one who should know the different expressions of your wife’s face. When she is sad, you should be able to describe your wife’s face as a comforting face. When she is happy, you should be able to see a different expression, many different expressions depending upon the emotional changes. That is why you cannot exactly draw your wife’s face. Do you understand that logic? Have you felt that? Think about how happy you would be. That is why if you are married to the person for whom you felt first love, and first love is the most important one, then no matter how ugly your wife may be, she is beautiful. Your wife may be shaped like a pumpkin and yet you feel so happy to touch her, feeling, “Ah, she is so round.” Or you may feel that she is so flexible, that if you punch her it bounces back, or she is so big that you cannot even touch your hands around her. (Laughter.)

What is the title of this morning’s sermon? Who Was I? It is reasonable to conclude that once we find a prototype of an ideal man and an ideal woman then we can duplicate this prototype man and woman in order to make this world into an ideal world. Between husband and wife, have you had any fights? Have you? (Yes.) Those who didn’t have the experience of having a fight between husband and wife, raise your hands. Then you all admit that you have been fighting with each other, so are you qualified to go to the Kingdom of Heaven or Hell? Those who fight will go down to Hell. What if there is an occasion when you must fight? The moment that you feel like fighting then you have to think to yourself that the king of Hell is right in front of you, ready to take you. Then you have to shut down all of your organs and become a dummy. Then get into meditation and picture a scene of love and enjoy yourself. (Laughter.) Suppose your wife still comes around and punches you and each time she punches you, your body turns a little bit more. Finally you turn a complete circle three times, still with a smiling face. Then her punch will become her kiss. Experiment. (Laughter.) You may ask Father if he has done it and Father will tell you that he can do that. In public, Mother must have at least several points which she never understands about Father. Do you understand that? (Yes.) That is the occasion when Father would go to a different realm.

Your enemy is often within yourself-what you see, what you say, what you hear. Do you understand? [Father writes on the blackboard.] This Chinese character that Father has written usually consists of many different reasonable facts. For example, this letter only on this side means holiness or holy man. This character represents eye, this, mouth and this represents your ear. In other words, what you see, what you say and what you hear and the person who can control these three is a holy man. That is what this character means, Father says. As a king you may hear all types of reports, sometimes very confidential ones, but if you say everything that you hear then your entire country will go down the drain. You have to be able to control the information. Therefore, become holy men and holy women. Do you want to become holy men and holy women? That means to become king or queen of what you see, what you hear and what you say.

Usually women have a tendency to say everything that they hear. When you shake a beer bottle and open the cap, what happens? It shoots out, right? And that is the way women usually act. At that moment you have to treat your organs as your enemies and shut down everything so they don’t function. This is a special warning to women. When you hear something, then run away from that if it is not necessary for you to hear. If there is anything extraordinary taking place outside usually women run out first to find out what it is. That is true! When you feel that way you have to command your legs, “Don’t move me.” Your eyes look at things and analyze and evaluate immediately, but God gave you that merit in order to raise your children properly. You really need sensible eyes, ears and mouth in order to raise children. When you deal with your husband don’t utilize them all, but do just the opposite.

If you know these kinds of details then you will be able to use them to help you. What is the conclusion? The entire world problem can be solved when we solve the problem of man and woman. Your family is the battlefield of the world war right there. Unless the world war in your family is ended, then the world’s problems will not become extinct. Where there is a battle raging God cannot dwell, only Satan can dwell there. God can dwell only in a peaceful place so build peace within your family. Then hope, happiness and freedom will be yours. This is a simple truth. Mankind’s history has been one of continuous fighting until now. How to stop this is the biggest problem for humankind. Only Reverend Moon is providing the answer to this dilemma. How to make a peaceful world is the most important thing. This is your work for your whole life. Until now, mankind has not solved this problem. There are only two struggles within the world: the fight within yourself (the fight between mind and body), and the struggle between man and woman. Once we resolve these two problems, the struggle between our mind and body and the man and woman struggle, then all the problems in this world can automatically be solved. Do you understand? Those who claim not to have any struggle within themselves, raise your hands. That means that you are all doomed to go to hell. Originally, man was not created this way. So if we have conflict within ourselves it means we cannot go to the original Kingdom of God in Heaven, but that we will stay in the middle someplace.

We have all learned about the restoration of brotherhood, parenthood, kingship and royal familyship, haven’t we? Did we learn it, or did we only hear it but have nothing to do with it? Once we hear the truth we have to become the embodiment of the truth. That is the key and that is the problem. Therefore, where is our enemy? It isn’t the world which is opposing you or the enemy who is piercing you with a knife. The battlefield is right within you. Your body is the very enemy, but this body expands to the nation and so the entire nation is the enemy nation, the entire world is the Satanic world. Do you understand? Your body is the essence of Hell. What is your body? (Hell.) If we say that to somebody else they will sue you and you will go to jail. Therefore nobody will do that to you so you have to do it to yourself. That is why we need religion. The religious way is the way of subjugating the body in order that it may follow the conscience. Conscience should have sovereignty.

We have a couple of feet of snow outside with no place to park so some of you may conclude that if you come to Belvedere on such a morning that your body will suffer a lot because of sitting down for many hours listening to Father and that you prefer to sleep more. Father’s response is, “Go ahead and sleep more and see what happens.” Why do you think that Father is giving such a difficult talk for us to understand instead of giving us an easy talk? Father knows the reality and if Father does this, our body will become a giant and dominate our conscience. That is the way religious life is. Religious leaders up until this point didn’t know where the problem lay. If we study Christianity we see the monks and nuns of the 16th and 17th centuries placed great hardship on their bodies by leading an ascetic life. Now we know what to do and how to do it and what the problem is. They didn’t know. We have to push down our body’s desire all the time. In society we see that people want to follow whatever others are doing that looks like more fun for them, but that is because they don’t fully understand that their body is their enemy.

We have to make it our habit to push down our body’s desires. Without doing so we cannot restore the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. How can we restore the original authority of our conscience? That is the key. We must understand how fearful the Fall is. It is more fearful than AIDS. If you have AIDS it may end in your generation; however the Fall will be inherited generation after generation, so it is more fearful. You have to feel that. Suppose you have AIDS, can you eat and sleep really comfortably? You have to understand that you have a most fearful disease within your blood. You are destined to go to Hell. Suppose there is a way to get out of this fearful situation. Then you should be able to sacrifice everything, including yourself, to achieve that. Because of the Fall, our blood lineage has been stained. Your blood lineage is connected to Satan’s blood, your body is Satan’s body. Your original mind is accusing the body all the time. Body power is presently stronger than conscience power and this is a problem. Only through True Love’s connecting power can we find a way out. The original human ancestors fell down from that place and could not reach the original love connecting point. The world of the mind is always warning you that you have to reach the highest love place. Your conscience understands everything.

[Father writes on the board.] This Chinese character stands for the Fall. This is the first time that Father has written Chinese characters so big, but the reason for him doing so is that the problem is big. Once we get rid of the Fall then automatically, naturally, your mind and body will become united. Are your mind and body totally united? Do you still need to practice in order to overcome your bodily desire? Do you need to fight or not? How about you, Jim? (Yes, Father.) Are you now taking action or thinking? (Fighting.) Is it easy or difficult? (Very difficult.) It has been very difficult throughout history. Throughout history there has been fighting between mankind’s mind and body. When can we find the truth? When you are unhealthy you cannot find the truth. Until now, nobody has been able to stop this war. From now on with the guidance of Reverend Moon we are beginning to stop the war. This is the main mission of the Unification Church.

Has America been an enemy country to Father or not? Once it was. Father is trying his absolute best to save this enemy country. But Father doesn’t see anybody like himself among you. You have to fight against your body if your body is trying to dominate your conscience. You need that kind of determination. Even if you have to lose your life, you should feel so strongly that you don’t want to be subjugated by bodily desires. You must feel the conviction to finish this fight. We have to win this war in our lifetime. The only way to gain the victor’s position is on the earth in your lifetime. How important this time is! Do you understand how serious this is? We must understand this.

All these struggles came into being because of love. Adam and Eve made a love relationship with Satan when they were at the top of the growth stage which resulted in the Fall. In the process of restoration, Satan will always attack and oppose you at each stage of growth, but you have to overcome at each stage. All was lost at the top of the growth stage so until we reach that level again this constant battle against Satan will go on. We have to secure our life by winning the victory at each stage until we go beyond that level at the top of the growth stage. Then we will be able to enter the realm of the original world which has nothing to do with the Fall of Man.

[Father draws on the blackboard.] Here is the family level, tribal level, national level and world level. At the world level, Satan can no longer interfere. Satan knows that once God combines all these nations and enters into the world level that he cannot interfere. That is why Satan has divided the world into as many nations as he possibly could. All these nations have their own boundaries and fight all the time. Even America has a boundary between Mexico and the United States. There are boundaries between men and women, parents and children and all struggles and conflicts that exist. Even between East and West there is conflict and America always regards herself as the superpower, sitting on the top of the world. But we need a world that has circular movement just like the circulatory system of the human body. The harmonious action of give and take is where growth occurs.

The Western world considers their civilization the best and regards the Eastern civilization as secondary, but they should not think that way. In reality America is struggling behind Japan, isn’t it? The American people’s thinking and way of life is more individualistic and self-centered like grains of sand on the beach, whereas Japan at least has a family-oriented society. When you make rice cakes, you combine a lot of flour and yeast together and cause them to cling together. When a national emergency comes about, the Japanese people, no matter what kind of position they may hold in society, will all pitch in and help even in humble manual work to help the whole. That kind of spirit exists there. Do you understand? To save your nation you would even sell your house and go to labor hard every day without complaint for the sake of the nation.

How about Unification Church members, are only Japanese people living that lifestyle here? No, here we are all races and colors and we all do the same. Our countries have been enemy nations, but we all live with the spirit of living for the sake of the nation and world. Do we have the possibility of becoming universal men and women? That is why Father has made interracial and international marriages. Actually, the nations of America and Japan cannot make these kind of arrangements between people. However, the Unification Church can do as it wishes. Suppose half of the American population have this interracial, international marriage arranged by Reverend Moon, then this country would belong to God wouldn’t it? (Yes.) Therefore, is your responsibility severe or easy? Yes, very severe. No matter what, we will do it over and over, giving and forgetting until we take up the victor’s position.

Satan can only reach up to the national level. When it comes to the world level, only God is able to subjugate it. Once we go beyond the national level then Satan has nothing more to do with our lives. Look at the reality of the world, the gigantic nation of America is being manipulated by Kim Il Sung. President Clinton doesn’t know what to do and the Washington Times is giving him such a strong blow that it may knock him down. Who is doing it? Who opposed President Carter? This man standing here on the stage. (Laughter.) Clinton is exactly like the brother of Jimmy Carter. How can we protect the nation and world from their political action? America doesn’t have that power. We are the ones who must know in what direction the world should go.

Don’t you think it was excellent that Father came up with the declaration of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age last year? (Applause.) Let’s remember that the entire leadership in our American Church all, one way or another, opposed Father’s idea. Father was the only one who was strong enough to push this proclamation. Do you know why? Because of the fiasco in Waco, Texas. David Koresh was considered as a false Messiah and the media began portraying Father as one also. That is why Father’s determination was, “Well if you think that, you will indeed see the real one.” All of America was watching and waiting for Father to fail and go down the drain, but Father’s response to that was, “You just wait and see how I prosper.” Father had the determination while he and Mother were giving the speeches around the nation that if anyone, out of any audience any place, were to stand up and oppose Father then Father would go down and grab him and ask, “Do you know what True Parents and the Completed Testament Age means?” That is what Father planned to do. No dictionary has those words, only Reverend Moon’s dictionary. They only have some understanding of the Old and New Testaments but Father is proclaiming the Completed Testament Age which nobody knows anything about. Did Father wipe out the entire American opposition or was it only a mediocre victory? (Wiped out.)

Father gave a direction to members that within three weeks they had to prepare the Capitol Hill speech. It made everybody numb. Usually it takes two to three years in order to prepare and many of our leaders were hesitant. However, did we do it or not? (YES!) What about another three weeks for the United Nations speech, were you all happy to do that? (Yes.) Everybody understands that to stand before an audience in the United Nations and deliver a speech is not so easily arranged. But Father does not concern himself with how easy or difficult it is to achieve such things. Do you understand? The more difficult way is more interesting, more challenging. In Japan people also doubted our ability to bring success because the media had beaten down our church to such a miserable situation. Father knew that well, but with God’s power Father lifted up our community in Japan again. This is the reality; Japanese leaders must think about that. They were saying that Father couldn’t take action in the Japanese nation freely, but Father broke every barrier.

Then in Korea, Mother spoke in the universities which had previously been occupied by radical students who chased out CARP completely from their campuses, and was received with an open door. Previously they had been occupying the king’s position, dominating the universities and chasing CARP out, but now we see a complete reversal of this and restoration of elder position. Do you understand? Now we continue with the Moscow Rally. We will reach North Korean “A” students, South Korean “A” students, Japanese “A” students, Chinese, Soviet and American, too. I’ve made that kind of foundation. It is most powerful. North Korean students and South Korean students are Cain and Abel. If South Korea connects with True Parents, then North Korea will be no problem. If they come against me they will begin to fall down. This is the Divine Principle perspective. Do you understand clearly?

Suppose that one day Father brings approximately 30,000 Russian students to do pioneering work here in America. Those Russian students speak very good English. Are you able to speak Russian? If you can’t then you are the losers. While western students are enjoying free sex and drugs and losing their spirits, Russian students are studying hard and master even foreign languages. We sent some Ivy League students to Moscow where they were taught by Russian students, for which they should have felt ashamed. However, they didn’t feel any shame, so they will eventually lose. If we do lose we have to be able to kneel down and surrender.

Because of the false love that was initiated by false parents then this false world emerged, the so-called Hell. We have to be able to go beyond the level of Hell and then we will be able to taste Heaven. Those who seek life in this Hell will fall again and die whereas those who are willing to lose their lives for the sake of God will enter into Heaven. They have to overcome all opposition from the individual, family, tribe, national and world levels. This is the life that Father has been living up until now and he has won the victory at each level so that even the Communist world became Father’s friend. Father is going to hold another peace conference in Korea centered upon the Federation for World Peace and Summit Council. Then, even Communist friends such as Gorbachev will come as well as many other heads of state from formerly communist countries. Also, the heads of state of other countries centered upon America, will participate. (Applause.) That particular peace conference will take place in Seoul from March 27th to 29th of this year. Father is hoping and planning that when those heads of state come that Father will send them directly to North Korea to see Kim Il Sung. South Korea may oppose that idea but they will get a punch from these heads of state. We need that kind of power, don’t you think? Who is able to create that kind of powerful foundation all over the world? (Father.) Father always has that kind of power. That kind of fighting is the true man’s way.

The problem we are now facing is the struggle between our conscience and body. The false parents started this fallen world and so we need True Parents. We must go beyond Satan’s boundary. The satanic world doesn’t have anything to do with True Parents and the Completed Testament Age. Once we have the support of nations we will eliminate all the satanic elements completely. Do you understand? (Yes.) Think seriously about this, how difficult it has been for Reverend Moon as one single person to change this entire western world. Now the time has come for America to follow Reverend Moon; there is no other choice. It is a reality that the entire Christianity is following behind the Washington Times’ lead to save this nation. The Christian cultural world have declared their newspaper to be the Washington Times, not the Washington Post. (Laughter.)

In the last twelve years Father has spent 1.2 billion dollars for the Washington Times. Have you even donated one penny for the Washington Times? No. That is why we have a problem. There are many billionaires in this country as this is the richest country in the world. Did they come up with even one million dollars to save this country through the Washington Times? They did not, so that is why they now honor Father. Even now, those people who have come to know about Father’s work criticize Unification Church members because they see that we knew the truth but that we have kept our mouths closed instead of going and informing them earlier. Now it is too late. Many of these leaders think that Reverend Moon should not have to stand on the front line himself and proclaim himself as the True Parents and this age as the Completed Testament Age. Instead, you American members should have done this on his behalf. They understand this. Don’t you agree that should have been the way it was done? Suppose America had received Father’s message honestly like this twenty years ago, what kind of nation would we have today? American people are clever people, not foolish. If they hear this Divine Principle content once, they understand it one hundred percent better than you. The problem is that Unification Church members kept their mouths shut. You think about that. If we remain the way that we are we will become like slaves. Many of you just seek after safe jobs within companies in order to make money but instead you should be able to bring the Presidents of those companies and convert them into Unification Church members. Do you follow? Wake up now; otherwise, like Jesus said, “The first will be last and the last will be first.”

Do you need True Parents? We should eliminate this satanic world because True Parents don’t have anything to do with this satanic world. Once you enter into the heavenly True Parents’ realm then your conscience will be open to True Love and you will receive the power of Parents. It is time for you to open the gate of your conscience in four different directions. Do you understand? Did you open the gates of your conscience or not? Your conscience is desiring to embrace the entire world, the entire human race, but you want to embrace only the white race. You have to testify to True Parents in reality not conceptually. You have to be able to prove yourselves and that is where we will be able to inherit the lineage of True Parents. The life, love and lineage is like a trinity which cannot be separated.

Our body is filled with satanic blood lineage. That is why our body is always trying to dominate our mind or conscience. When we received the Blessing we went through a special ceremony of transforming the blood lineage didn’t we? Was this just a children’s game? That was the moment that we denied and eliminated this satanic life, lineage and love and became engrafted into the heavenly lineage. Therefore, we must never want to go back to the old satanic world but just progress on in the heavenly world. Father knew that the time would come when we should all win this battle and go back to our hometown. That is why Father gave us the direction to become tribal messiah to our families. Father came up with the proclamation that Father’s couple is the True Parents and the Completed Testament Age has dawned starting a new history.

Why do we need True Parents? Because our conscience is still not the full image of God, so True Parents are the ones who will be a constant power and energy source for our conscience for it to function properly. If you want to become true children, you have to stand above your body and lead your body, not be led by your body. In the early days of our church many sisters had the experience of going perhaps to the super market or some such place, but instead found themselves in the church. Such phenomena occurred because the mind was leading the body.

Your body always thinks about free sex and bodily desires. We have all these bodily desires, don’t we? It is because we have inherited all the rotten fruits of our ancestors for generations. We are all the result of illicit love, so how can this be cleaned up? This is an historical problem. We are a result of all the illicit love that occurred ever since the creation of mankind. Unification Theological students please raise your hands. I see many of you are present here. You can understand this clearly. If you commit this kind of illicit love again you should determine to be able to cut off your hands, legs or whatever you need to cut off. Just the misuse of love caused such tragedy to the entire human race.

That is why Father has done his best to find any bridge, any way, to give you salvation. These women, you are like robbers. When Father chose True Mother there were so many different people who tried to criticize, condemn and judge Mother in order to take her position. Many women came to Mother and told her to get out from the room, that it was theirs, that they were the spouse of True Father. Even if Father held their hands or kissed them they would claim to have slept with him and that they were his wife. They would have said so. They came up with all kinds of allegations and accusations to destroy the Unification Church. But Father knew this principle. That is why he could survive until now and win all the victories.

This teaching Father offers you is not a simple teaching given at random. Father has already experimented in the spiritual world. He analyzed it and came up with this conclusion and then he gave us this teaching. We have to understand this. The substantiation of our conscience must materialize. Where is God? God is the root of love, root of conscience, root of mind, root of everything. God is the root of every part of my life. He dwells in the deepest place in the root of love, the deepest and most secret place, the deepest and most secret place of your lineage and from that very place everything stems, life, love and lineage. Your conscience is like the house of God. Even if you include God, your conscience still has room. Do you agree? God will be happy to be that way. The number one place is where God dwells.

We all want to become champions, don’t we? If you are competing in the Olympic Games do you want to become the champion or would you be content with second or third place? The Olympic Games are held every four years. Sometimes the fastest record might be two hours and ten minutes, at the next Olympics it is perhaps two hours and five minutes, at the next Olympics perhaps two hours and twenty minutes but still the champion is the champion. They are horizontally on the same line as champions.

Are you champions of the marriage wedding? Once you are a champion it doesn’t matter what nationality you are. Once you hold the champion position you are all at an equal level. When we marry we have to think that we are dealing with 2.5 billion champions, which means women or men. There are so many millions of men in this country and yet your partner was the only one out of them all. An absolute man has absolute love. An absolute woman has absolute love. There are not two women for one man, absolutely only one and vice versa. That is the meaning of marriage: a representative of the entire population of men becomes a representative of the entire heaven and earth. We should have this kind of pride as a champion when we go out into the world. We should not be side-tracked by the environment we find in the world around us. A champion has sovereign power. The Unification Church consists of all the champions of marriage like Olympic Game champions.

At the last matching Father selected your spouse. Out of 3,000 to 4,000 champions, he hand-picked one for you. This is not a children’s game but a very serious matter. However, our eyes are stained with human waste and that is the reason we cannot see what Father has chosen for us. We should be able to produce good and brilliant children. Do you realize how much you need True Parents? You need them even more than your love. Why? Because True Parents are responsible to restore the past, present and future, even the spiritual world. That is why True Parents always dwell with God. God only dwelled with Adam and Eve within the boundary of the Garden of Eden; however, now God is working with True Parents beyond the national level, on the worldwide level. Satan already fell away from the national level; the completed stage is where True Parents are working. You also should have the confidence that you have nothing to do with Satan. Do you understand? Did Father say that we have something to do with Satan still? No. We only have relationship with God and True Parents. Therefore, we must understand that our conscience always stands on God’s side and the time has now come when almighty conscience is now dominating the entire body and the entire world.

At the top of the growth stage we fell away from True Love but now we are going up. We are in the victor’s position so Satan cannot interfere. Because of the Fall of Man, fallen mankind fell with false love and false conscience. But because of Father’s grace we now are starting in the heavenly realm, the completed state; so with our power of conscience we will begin to fly from now on. At the time of the Fall the power of false love was stronger than our conscience, but because of True Parents’ grace at this time, the power of conscience is stronger than false love. That is why we are able to dominate this bodily desire. Since we have found God again then Satan is separated from us. Because we lost God, Satan was invited into our lives. In order to chase out Satan we must invite God into our lives. This is true. Because we are in the heavenly completed realm, so long as we are centered on the power of conscience there is no problem in dominating our bodily desire. Do you understand? You have to have that kind of confidence otherwise you cannot win over the power of your body. Mind power is created by connecting with True Parents’ power, giving you domination over your body. You have to have the confidence that this time is different from past times. It is time to chase Satan out from our lives. When Satan is gone, we invite Almighty God into our lives.

The subject now is God in the plus position, then man in the minus position. In between these two, True Love brings them into oneness, just as God’s mind and body are one. Our conscience is our second God. Our number one God is Heavenly Father Himself, and your conscience is your second God. Do you understand? What is your mind? (Second God.) It is connecting you to the life, love and lineage of God. My conscience is my second God; that strong power can dominate my body’s desires. We must have that kind of confidence and conviction. Who was I? I was supposed to be the love partner of God. Even God Himself, without having a love partner, could not fulfill Himself. We have to have the confidence in ourselves that, “I am the one who can complete God. As a second God I should assist God in making Himself complete.” Man is plus and woman is minus but who helps man to complete himself? Woman, centering upon True Love. No matter what kind of famous subject position he holds, he cannot complete himself without his love partner. Do you understand? That is why we have this special privilege and right to live with God, because we are the ones who are to help God to perfect Himself. The most precious thing to God is True Love and man is to occupy True Love. It is humankind’s original responsibility. How wonderful man is!

Until now, we have had the understanding that as human beings no matter how great our desire, we could not fulfill it. However, originally our desire and hope should have been fulfilled. Do you follow? Imagine, because of me, God can be perfected and God’s love can be perfected. How wonderful this is! Once you have a love relationship with God then the concept of position follows. By the same token, when man and woman first enter into a love relationship each of them claims possession over the other. Through love the right of position comes into being. Once you become totally one with God through love then God becomes yours and you are God’s son and vice versa because the two become totally one. God is like the mind and man is like the body. It is important to realize that your conscience is your second God, but without dealing with God Himself. Your conscience is absolute God for you.

It is like the relationship between the branches of government. There is Capitol Hill, the Presidential office and Chief Justice, etc. Then it goes down to the state level, county and village level. But as long as there is total unity between subject and object of all the constituents and all the necessary people at this level, then you don’t need to bother so much about the organization above that. By the same token, as long as you have mind and body unity at the individual level, your God is your conscience. God and man are a plus and minus but at the individual level, as long as there is total mind and body unity within that individual, then that individual’s conscience should be acting as his or her God. Without being led or instructed by God Himself you have your own God within you. Do you understand? Centering upon you, your absolute God is your conscience. Your inner God should be reflected outwardly through your body. Worship your conscience as your absolute God, then your bodily desire is not a problem at all. Father would then ask you who, between God and conscience, knows what you do first? Who shall know first, your conscience within you or God? (God.) Why? It is like a relationship between man and woman, if man knows what woman is doing before her conscience knows what she is doing, then woman will become man’s attribute or part.

Everyone’s mind is different, possessing individual characteristics. As each one’s mind is different then each one’s conscience should know first. God governs every person’s conscience. Looking back at our original history, when God first appeared to Adam and Eve after the Fall, what kind of question did He put to them? Did He condemn them because they fell or did He ask them if they had fallen? Why did God ask man? Because God knew that their conscience must have known that they fell first. The owner was their conscience mind, not God. Therefore God had to ask first. That clearly indicates that the conscience of each one should know whatever happens within that individual self even before God. Is there anything within your life that your conscience doesn’t know about? Absolutely not. Conscience absolutely knows. Therefore your conscience doesn’t need any education. Have you heard anybody else teaching this kind of content? As long as you follow the way of conscience then naturally, automatically, you will be led to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Now you understand that conscience is everything and is leading the mind to the most high level. Why? Because the mind doesn’t understand everything. Conscience understands everything and it is leading you towards the higher purpose during your whole lifetime. The problem for mankind is our flesh body which needs to be cleaned up and subjugated by our conscience and led automatically to the Kingdom of Heaven. Your conscience doesn’t need education, which means it doesn’t need a teacher. It means you don’t need Reverend Moon. (Yes!) No, because once you make that completion of your conscience then you don’t need anything, your conscience is your teacher.

Now we are making the conclusion that God existed before Parents, and before any teacher. He existed before everything. How precious conscience is for us and how we can protect its precious value forever: this is the mission of my whole lifetime. We can say that the philosophy of relationship you have to have is that kind of concept. I stand in a minus position and I follow a plus position forever and then combine into one and make another big plus or minus. Then you reach God’s True Love at last. Once you are there you have completed your ambition. Your self is full up, your five senses are full up, your mind and body are full up. Then you are in the heavenly world where many are waiting to welcome you to the enjoyable surroundings. How much happiness you will enjoy at that time, how much joy God will feel to embrace you at last! He will say, “You came here my son, my daughter, making one family forever and ever.” That is our peaceful, ideal home. How wonderful it is! Do you want to have that kind of world? (Yes!) You want to be like me? (Yes!) How can you do that? You are in the children’s position and Father is in the parents’ position. Parents make their children like them. Do you understand? They have the same content, same position, same level, which is forever valuable. Do you agree?

What is conscience? (Our second God.) What does your second God tell you? It keeps on teaching and telling you that we need to clean up this mess. The thousands of years of stained blood lineage will be cut off and cleaned. You should obey. From now on you have to connect your generation to the next generation and on and on. Do you understand? (Pointing to one sister.) Her face is that of an analyzing kind of woman. (Laughter.)

We understand now, so who was I? I was born as the partner of God. Without His partner, God cannot perfect Himself and man or woman alone cannot become such a partner for God. It requires couples and then God comes in between. God is the root of Adam’s life, love and blood lineage, so when Adam and Eve would have been ready to marry, God would have come and become the root of both of them and joined them together. Do you understand? By the marriage of Adam and Eve, these two portions of God would be placed together and become a perfect partner of God. Eventually God would be perfected though their help. That was the significance of Adam and Eve’s blessing.

God is vertical. (Father draws on the board.) This is God and this is children. The children grow up as brothers and sisters, growing through the different stages. It is like elementary school, high school and college. These brothers and sisters will be connected centering upon their parents at each level. It is as though the invisible God is revealed through these physical children. Vertically, God is still existing here as the center, yet horizontally they reveal God here. This portion here is the visible world and this top portion is the invisible world. One is in the subject position and one is in the object position, like plus and minus. This represents the marriage between man and woman, when the invisible world and the visible world are centered here in the middle. Man and woman, representing plus and minus, merge together at that central point and marry there. This invisible God is revealed through different stages: the children’s stage, growth stage, couple’s stage, and parents’ stage. Eventually, this invisible being God and the visibly revealed God will come together. Through this marriage the perfection of brotherhood is possible.

It takes place from four different angles, vertically and horizontally. Even spiritual children will play a role here and become totally combined and circular movement will take place. It is the point of the perfection of children, perfection of brotherhood and perfection of couples. The perfection of husband and wife love is the completion of all types of love. Therefore, your wife is a daughter of God and your husband is a son of God. At the same time, your wife is your younger sister. Your wife is like the invisible sung sang within God and you are like the visible sung sang of God. Once the two of you become one in the center then you become parents, and God is there as a Parent. Centered upon True Love you become the second parents next to God. Just as God created His children we begin to create our children as parents. As a man we can take the place of God, as a perfected object of God, only when we produce our children and raise them as brothers and sisters, then on to the position where they marry and become a couple who themselves produce children. That is the time we should feel the same type of joy and happiness that God felt when He created human beings.

Our conscience is our vertical self and our body is our horizontal self. Do you understand? The invisible God reveals Himself through our body as a visible God and this expands to the family level. Who was I? The conclusion is that I was the one who was supposed to inherit all this from God, that is who I was. The world is an extension of myself. When you look at the world you will see many different levels of people. Some are your children’s age, your brothers’ and sisters’ age, wife’s age, mother’s age and even grandparents’ age. The base for all these different levels of people is the family; it just needs to expand and it becomes the world.

Centering upon your ideal family in this way, you can consider the entire world as an object and you revolve together as subject and object. Those people living in this kind of world will automatically enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. This world is a training ground. Do you understand? It is the training ground for Heavenly Kingdom citizens. This vertical line has only one dot with no space. That is why in the spiritual world no reproduction takes place. Only here in our horizontal, physical world can reproduction occur. This world is like a manufacturing plant because we have 360 different angles and therefore we have area and space where we produce. Each family is an individual factory where we produce heavenly citizens which means that the household is the factory for man in this world. Once the direction is set right for the families then we don’t even have to educate our children. They will just naturally follow because everybody, even children, have their own God. No teaching is necessary. Because of the Fall of Man nobody understood this and that is why we needed education. Father’s conclusion this morning to the question “Who was I?” is “My ideal family is the training ground where we can train ourselves to become heavenly citizens and embrace this entire world and lead it together to the Kingdom of Heaven.” Amen. (Amen.) Do you clearly understand? Once you clearly know the truth then the truth itself will liberate you. You don’t need prayer life. Make sure that you worship your conscience. No matter what orders and directions come from your conscience, just obey. It doesn’t matter what time of day or night, it doesn’t depend upon external conditions, just totally obey your conscience. Then automatically you will become a heavenly citizen. Amen. (Amen.) Even this snowy Sunday morning while you were sleeping, your conscience kept urging you to go to Belvedere to hear Father and you followed. Even if it is a heavy rain day with stormy weather, if your conscience tells you to go then you go. If your conscience tells you to go to the battlefield then you should wake up and go. By following your conscience you will never lose. Do you understand?

When Father first came to America it was at the prompting of his conscience that kept urging him to come here. Even though he knew there could be opposition, his conscience kept urging him to come. Therefore Father did come to America and clearly faced many different types of opposition, yet he is still here. Did Father lose or win? (Win.) Now America is following behind Father’s step and if Father has to go then America will have to go together with him. Do you feel good? (Yes!) (Applause.) Please receive God’s blessing and grace; that is why Father has given you this morning’s sermon.

## REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

### February 12, 1994
East Garden
Translator – Peter Kim

You have just watched a videotape showing the incredible national commitment of North Korean soldiers and the North Korean people. These people are committed to a fallen world ideology. When we turn around 180 degrees, we have to go beyond them, we have to do even better than they. That is our responsibility and duty and the purpose of our dispensation.

Father says there is another tape which shows various groups of people marching on and on. Repetition is important. In order to become an expert in any field, you have to keep repeating what you are doing. Even in the scientific field, you have to repeat experiments again and again. If we want to become an expert in our world, we have to do that. The American way of education nowadays is to stay away from repetition. Of course, we have to follow the trends of modern times and be willing to change our attitudes and ways of doing things, but if you keep changing and changing, where will you head for? Eventually, you have to come back to the original point.

When you look at history, you can see that the undeveloped countries follow in the footsteps of the advanced countries. Where will these undeveloped countries wind up? Since they are going in a false direction, eventually they will have to come back to their original starting point.

Humankind began with love, which was from God. Somehow, the portrait and color of love has been stained. Now love is a dirty word because of the Fall of Man. This is a fallen world. This fallen world started with false love and this fallen world will perish with false love.

Look at the reality of Kim Il Sung in North Korea. He has only 20 million people but he is now unsettling and manipulating the 250 million people of America. The North Koreans think that one North Korean soldier can contend with 20 or 30 American soldiers. That is their condition. This is the reality. North Korea is not an Iraq. South Korea is preparing to cope with the North Korean military force, but we have to go beyond that. The North Koreans do not know God. There is one ideology in the world which is centered on God and which has spread all over the world-not just a theology, an ideology-and that is Unificationism.

Right now we have an international youth seminar taking place in Russia centering on six nations. We call it two plus four-South Korea and North Korea make two, plus the four superpowers of America, Japan, Russia, and China. These young college students are gathered there to find a solution to world peace. However, no one could have gathered and given them one focal point. No nation or organization has been able to do that, but Reverend Moon has done it. The South Korean government has never allowed any students to be in direct contact with North Korean students for fear of the consequences. They did not believe that American or Chinese or Japanese power could organize both sides, but they believe that Reverend Moon can, so the South Korean government gave their permission for some South Korean students to attend.

Another interesting fact is that even Kim Il Sung, who strongly believes that all of his 20 million people are ideologically equipped with his juje ideology, is afraid of Reverend Moon’s ideology. He hesitated to send his students to Reverend Moon’s conference. Kim Il Sung knows clearly that Father is the one who eliminated the Japanese socialist or communist movement in the ’60s and ’70s and early ’80s. He knows that Reverend Moon brought about the demise of communism through Gorbachev and that Father has influenced the ideology of young Chinese students, and that South Korean communist students are being influenced by Unificationism. Kim Il Sung knows Father’s power. However, when Kim Il Sung looked at the general situation surrounding the Korean peninsula, he saw that if the four major countries of that area sent their representatives and he did not, he would look as if he lacked courage. Although he is hesitant, he will send the students.

As you know, Korean university students up until now have been deeply influenced by the juje ideology, and many became radicals. They are known as “pinkish communists”-they do not know the reality of communism, but they are sympathetic to its ideals. Now for the first time, even though they have been the enemy of the CARP movement in the past throughout the Korean campuses, some have joined our CARP movement and have gone through Divine Principle workshops and have prayed and now accept the existence of God. They were totally struck by how history has developed, how God has been progressing human history. Now over twenty radical, trouble-making students have come over to our side, and they are in Moscow with our CARP members.

This particular conference in Russia was sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Moscow University, and the foreign academy which produces all the diplomats. The Korean embassy in Moscow was opposed to this conference, but they found out that the entire nation was sponsoring it, so they went along. The Korean ambassador who opposed the conference may lose his job.

Why is Father telling you this? Father wants you to know where we are going and where we stand right now, because the second generation is responsible to educate these communists. We have to clean up the mess left by communism. The free world also needs to be cleaned up of its immorality. We have to be the ones to clean it up.

Communism has been spreading in and dominating the undeveloped, Third World countries because communists have a world ideology based on economic theory. It seemed logical to them; it was not merely random. Of course, the free world has been striving to build democracy on the worldwide level, but the free world itself is rotting and is reaching the end of its rope. Who is going to revive it? The free world does not know that Satan has been using our flesh, our bodies, to destroy the entire world. The free world is falling into hell. That’s why we have all these problems of homosexuality, lesbianism, AIDS, free sex-all the social problems.

Originally, if there hadn’t been a Fall of Man, human beings could have experienced a more fantastic and exotic world centering on pure and true love. Instead they take marijuana and LSD, or any kind of drug to fulfill their desire for fantasy. That’s how Satan took the people away. There seems to be no way for them to come back. Who can make them come back? You, the second generation, must realize this fact. Even though you live in America, don’t follow America’s ways, because America is at the end of the road. If you take one more step, you will fall over the edge. You have to turn around.

That is the general situation in America. We have to turn around 180 degrees. This is the road Unification Church members will follow. Only after people reach the end of the road and realize that they have no where else to go, do they look for the root, realizing that the beginning was wrong? There is a movement spreading all over the world called finding the root-the real root. Because we did not have the original, genuine, real root to begin with, the direction is wrong. If we find this real, original root, we can correct the direction.

As you watch this tape, you see many disciplined people and all kinds of the things they are doing here in order to protect 20 million people in North Korea, but when it comes to our responsibility, we are not talking about 20 million people. We are talking about the five billion people of the world. We have to do more than they are doing. We have to take responsibility not just for our present world, but for all the people who lived in the past and all the dozens of billions who will live in the future. Therefore, we have to be more disciplined and trained than the North Korean people, and also we have to give more than those Christian martyrs and saints and heroes who sacrificed everything throughout Christian history, in Rome and other places of persecution. We have to be more than that. We have a mountain to climb. Therefore, we come to the conclusion that we have to have even stronger conviction than the North Korean soldiers and people in order to bring the victory to God, True Parents, and our dispensation. Do you understand? (Yes.)

When Father was young, around your age, Father had a much greater dream than you have right now. Father realized at around your age that the world was not the correct one. Father saw that all the people, all the leaders in the world were corrupt and were just really selfish people and that the world was not in the right shape. Father determined that he would go through any kind of difficulty, go any kind of sacrificial, suffering way in order to save this world. That has been his determination. That is where Father’s endeavors came from, his endeavors to establish the Little Angels Performing Arts team and the Universal Ballet team and the Kirov Ballet team. By the way, we have inherited the name, fame, and skill of the most famous ballet team in the world. We now have a Kirov Ballet Academy in Washington, D.C. It is because Father realized that success in life requires repetition in certain areas.

Even when you look at the physical world, you see repetition. Let’s look at our life in general. A 24-hour cycle is being repeated each day, 365 days a year. As soon as this cycle stops or is interfered with, the entire world will be destroyed. Centering on our heart, all the blood is circulated by the veins throughout the body by repetition of the heartbeat. When it comes to a skill like calligraphy, if you practiced making a letter “A” one time or one thousand times-which amount of practice would give you the greater ability to write an “A”? Obviously, it would be the one thousand times of practice. This is the most difficult part for Americans in general-to be trained by repetition.

Up until now, people have not been dealing with truth, so they were loath to repeat it, but now we are talking about the real truth. People should not mind repeating and repeating it. What about breathing? If you did not repeat breathing, what would happen? What about blinking? Could you stop blinking for one day? Could you stop walking? Walking is repetitive. We must know that. It is like a circulator. By doing this kind of circulation, you will grow and prosper, but if you do not do that, you will become smaller and smaller and finally disappear. If you draw a line and keep repeating it, that means you are prospering, progressing, but if you do not do that, you will diminish. Repetition will lead you to development and progress. Stopping will lead you into retreat and defeat.

By the same token, if you keep teaching the Divine Principle one thousand times, ten thousand times, each time you teach it, you will have a greater spirit. Remember, history is always circulating, repeating. Suppose there is a sine curve here. Imagine it is like a wave. The pinnacle of the wave will become even higher next time.

When you watch the kind of tape we just saw, you should have the determination “We can be even better!” Father came to America to fight evil. The entire 240 million people of America opposed Father, but Reverend Moon has been like this: even though he has been hit and knocked down, he stands up and challenges it again. This kind of repetition has taken place in his life. Each time he gets hit, he has experienced that certain degree of being hit, so next time, it gets easier. He became greater and greater.

When you play soccer or volleyball or football, there is always repetition. You can’t just say, “Oh, well, I’m an expert. Whenever I throw the basketball, the ball will go where I want it.” You have to practice millions of times. What about mealtimes-breakfast, lunch, dinner-don’t you repeat your habit and motions of eating? What about going to the bathroom? People don’t like it, but it is a necessary, repetitious step to take in order to live.

Think about it. The most precious organ in your entire body is your loving organ-yet that very precious loving organ is in the same place where the dirtiest waste from all of your body comes out. Isn’t it true? Well, in order to grow plants, what do you need? Fertilizer. In order to become good people, we need fertilizer, too. For example, when your parents keep telling you to study more, to study harder, it seems like dirty fertilizer, but you need that. Do you understand? The people who will control or dominate the world at the last are the people who have the philosophy of training through repetition.

Think about scientific, high technology nowadays. It has almost reached the culmination point, the end. Now who is going to do the repetition properly and materialize it? Whoever does that is the one who will win and that kind of movement will win.

When you watch a tape like this one, those who are leaders should think, “Well, I am too old to do that, but I have my younger brother, my children. I will help them to become like that.” But what if Father tells you to wear your jacket front side back? Will you do that? Well, suppose you have a concept that this is the evil world I am facing and I do not want to face my front to the evil world. Therefore, I have to wear my jacket backwards so that even if I turn around, my jacket is facing down the evil world. Sometimes you need those kinds of concepts. That is why the world of restoration is a great world. It contains the concept of repetition.

The American people in general do not have the ability to sit down like Koreans in the yoga style for more than one hour because they need to walk around and stretch their legs. That is not the way of restoration. The mind has to be set first as the center; then the body should follow. It is a kind of circular movement. Through circular movement, you become greater and greater and greater, but because you do not have the center, which is your mind set, even if you turn around, you don’t grow. Your center is being moved around all the time. But in Father’s case, centering on God’s will, Father’s mind is always set on the center. Whatever or whoever is there, Father is the center and whoever tries to come against Father will eventually be destroyed by natural principle. Each time Father makes a circular movement, he becomes greater.

A good analogy or example is when you transplant a tree. Should you keep transplanting a tree from one side of the lawn to another each day? No. The tree will suffer and struggle and die. You must keep the tree in one central place, water it and nurture it there, and then the tree will grow and prosper.

We need a certain amount of repetition in our lives in order to overcome and go beyond the world’s level, in order to do better than they. Young people of the second generation, do you have confidence that you can do better than the North Korean youth? If what you are saying is true, you have to go through difficult situations such that you have to give up your life many times. In North Korea, if you make a mistake, they don’t threaten you. They shoot you. That’s it. That is why everyone is sticking their necks out to do their mission. No mistakes are allowed. But in America, we do not have that concept, do we? Once people are equipped with that kind of conviction and spirit, even if you are being kicked out of some organization or even the world, they will always return and repent to you.

Father is one hundred times higher than their standard, so Father is teaching them to come up even higher. Once Father finishes teaching them, Father will bequeath all he has to them. Therefore, throughout history, there hasn’t been anyone who went through as many severe situations and persecutions as Father did. You young people must understand that. Father knows all aspects of human life. But you don’t like that, do you? You don’t like the difficult course. People of the developed nations do not like this kind of dirty, hard work, so they will go down and down and decline and in the end, the undeveloped nations who are equipped with a better spirit will be ahead. That is possible. Again, it is repetition. When you reach the pinnacle, where else can you head? You have to head down to the bottom. It is like going up and down and then going up again.

Make sure you have a proper center and then keep doing this repetition of circular movement. Then you will grow to be bigger and greater. But the bigger ones will get smaller and smaller. No matter how great America may be, America is no exception to this formula. The American people like the easy way, but the truth is not that simple. Precise machinery is not simply assembled. Therefore, Western civilization will be absorbed by Oriental civilization. Do you understand?

When it comes to lecturing the Divine Principle, if Father tells you to do so, you usually try one or two times and think you are no good and give up. You should repeat it one thousand times. Father is telling Reverend Pak that we have to continue our campaign of doing all kinds of speeches and giving literature out and our Women’s Federation should do the same thing. Remember, from March 1st, Father is mobilizing another 50,000 Japanese women leaders. These are new ones-not the ones who already went through training at Cheju Island. This is a new batch of highly educated women, college graduates and above. These are 50,000 new ones who were witnessed to by the ones who already went through the training course a couple of months ago. They are the ones who brought this new batch of women leaders. Your responsibility is to bring them to the Korean peninsula. From then on, I will take the responsibility to educate them.

These are people who do not understand the Divine Principle but who have been persuaded to come to listen to Reverend Moon. What kind of effort, spiritual power and prayer does Father need? He needs more than the power of 50,000 people altogether. Where will Father get that power? Father will mobilize the entire spirit world. We do not really know that. That is why our Unification movement is still in this handful-of-members stage. We don’t know that spiritual reality. That is why Father is now working in educating the founders or leaders of prominent denominations of religions. It doesn’t happen just like that-you have to somehow arrange it in such a way that they will have to follow Father’s directions, feeling no other choice because of spiritual world influence. In order to mobilize spirit world, Father has to be out in front of the spirit world, doing more than they. Otherwise, God is not going to give him the power.

In general, the old things belong to Satan; you have to come up with fresh new things, fresh new people, make fresh new movements. Then spirit world and God will come down and help you. A new movement, new men and new women means new momentum. That is the key. That is where God will come down and work.

Father knows the time period and the importance of this critical time. He knows where to go and when to go. That is why Father hardly sleeps but rather focuses on the particular time and project. Last year when Father came up with the Proclamation of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age, almost all the leaders, including myself (Peter Kim), were scared of it. We were just shivering. Do you remember that time? That was the time when the Waco fiasco with David Koresh was going on, not far away at all. He was falsely proclaiming himself to be the Messiah. CNN and some of the media portrayed Father as a religious leader like him. It was a critical time, but Father’s conviction was, “Well, you are proud of the Christian culture here in America, so now is the time when I will show the real Messiah.” Father’s determination and proclamation at this time was that if there was any Ph.D. or minister who came out against Father during this time and challenged him about being the Messiah, Father was going to grab him by the tie and challenge him in public. That was Father’s determination.

You can’t even find the words “True Parents” or “The Completed Testament Age” in the dictionary, can you? Nobody knows those words, so how can they challenge Father on it? There is no choice but to humble themselves in order to learn what it means from Father. That is the way Father and True Parents made a big sweep around the world.

Are you testifying and giving this proclamation of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age, you of the second generation? What do you want to inherit from the True Parents? Wherever you go, whomever you may meet, you have to open your mouth with the proclamation of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age and tell them. We must be centered on True Parents. Suppose you have to put a sign on your forehead proclaiming this and Father asks you to go all around the world with it? Will you do that? Father doesn’t see you as having the confidence to do that.

This is the time when we no longer need the Old Testament and the New Testament. This is the time of the Completed Testament Age. What are the teachings of the Completed Testament Age? We cannot find them in the Old Testament or the New Testament, but Father has given the contents to the 50,000 women leaders who went to Cheju Island because Japan is the Eve country. Out of those 50,000 women leaders, Father selected those who have college degrees and above, graduate students and Ph.D.s. He chose 1,600 people in order to send ten people to 160 countries in the world. In the future, the United Nations must consist of the Religious Federation for World Peace and the Women’s Federation for World Peace. They must be like the organization’s two hands.

You, the second generation, should march forth. Unless you are totally united and do your responsibility, you will lose the world. There are many different organizations and new religions preparing to receive the Lord of the Second Advent. Unless we rid ourselves of our old habits which we inherited from the American way of doing things and American society here, we will lose the opportunity to inherit Father’s tradition. Our destiny is a one-way street. There is just one main street, so if we hesitate and delay, the people who follow behind us will pass us and go ahead of us to follow Father, who is way ahead of us all. We cannot stop the people who are coming behind us. They will catch up and go ahead of us.

When Father looks at the first generation, Father sees that they forgot the conviction they had and the determination they made and the spiritual strength they received when they first studied the Divine Principle. They had a tendency to go back to their old habits from before they joined and then try to enjoy their lives. But the time has progressed to the point that North Korea meets with Father-even Kim Il Sung and South Korea want to meet with Father, because otherwise, they know there is no future for them. We really do not know all that Father is doing, do we?

The world appeared to be pretty quiet in the year of 1993, but Father just made a sweep around the world. It is as if there is no one in the world who didn’t hear the proclamation of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age. If there is any Unification Church member who is hesitating to give this message out or hiding behind something, Father will give them a good kick. Instead of taking revenge on the satanic world, Father may take revenge on you! The people of the satanic world don’t know the truth. You know the truth, yet you do not move.

As parents, as the first generation, we have the responsibility to set the standard and direction for our future generations. Otherwise, we will be punished. You didn’t join the Unification Church just to feed your family, did you? You need Reverend Moon in order to meet God. Without God, the Unification Church doesn’t exist. The same principle applies to America. Because of God’s grace and blessing, America has progressed and developed up to this point, but the American people do not know the truth. We are the ones who have to teach them.

Once we have our TV station fully established, we can reach the entire country of America. Then we can educate the entire 240 million people of America. That means in 40 days, we can give Divine Principle lectures from page to page 30 times. Think about it. If I were to give a Divine Principle lecture beginning to end 30 times, what kind of changes would we witness? Have you witnessed the wave of change taking place in the former Soviet Union? You have seen it in the newspapers. Well, America is still in the sleeping stage, not knowing what is going on in Reverend Moon’s movement, but you cannot be sleeping. America will not last if it keeps sleeping. You are the ones who are awake. You have to wake the others up. Read Divine Principle one hundred or one thousand times. Spirit world is watching you. If you stand still, you will see the phenomena resulting from that.

When it comes to the real core of your life of faith, you have to find your own way of religion. It is not just a blanket term “Unification faith.” Within that faith, you have to find your own way of strengthening yourself, your own world of faith. If Midori-san here reads the Divine Principle 1,000 times, her spiritual level will shoot up like a rocket and she will experience many different levels of spiritual life and she will stay up there. Her personality will develop greatly. That is possible. This is no ordinary power. For that reason, Father is telling you to keep reading the Divine Principle, even memorize it. Do you understand? Then you can utilize it in any way.

In order to solve a math problem, you need a formula. Without memorizing the formula, how you can solve the math problem? By the same token, we must study the Divine Principle. Whenever you open your mouth, if your talk is centered on the Divine Principle, then every problem will be solved because spirit world will help you. If Midori-san is in the center here, then circular movement keeps taking place and getting greater and greater. The spirit world is centered on that particular spot and will naturally come there and go to that spot as if it were an antenna. Of course, every individual will have that center.

We have to do that kind of preparation in this physical world. Then when we go to the spiritual world, it is as Father described, so when we go there we can adjust ourselves easily to our past generations as well as the present and future generations. Unless we have this antenna centered on God and True Parents, we cannot communicate with people.

How many times have you repeated eating your meals? Just as we kept repeating our eating, three times a day, almost 2,000 times a year, almost 20,000 times in ten years and ten times that number in 100 years, it keeps getting bigger and bigger, growing and growing. By the same token, if you keep studying the Divine Principle every day, repeating and repeating, you will receive this source of life from God and spirit world every time you do. It is like meals you eat in order to grow. We can do better than the parade and performance we watched today if we keep repeating. Do you have confidence? You said yes. That means you can make repetition, right? Even if you take a wooden stick and keep rubbing it against a hard surface, what will follow? A total change, a totally different substance will emerge. When husband and wife make love, you are repeating. When you have a desire to do that one thousand, 10,000, even a billion times, you will see a fire erupt. Then the entire spirit world will be thrown into it. When you scrub a floor, your movements are repetitive. Repetition is not a problem. It’s that simple. Even if you are young, start thinking that way.

In your school, suppose you have 80 people in your class who are your friends. If you have the determination that you will repeat prayers or study 80 times, once for each person, then you will become the greatest one in your class. You will become the leader of the class.

Think about how many times Father has prayed. What kind of repetition was involved in that prayer? If there is any particular subject to pray about, Father prays and prays about it. In Korea, we talk about when water drops one drop at a time from the rooftops. Even if there is solid rock at the bottom, eventually you will see a dent in the rock. Eventually, it will even make a hole. There is power there. Do you understand?

There has been much opposition and persecution throughout Father’s life, but Father said, I will keep repeating what I have been doing on the family, societal, national, and worldwide levels. Father was consistent, repeating his actions. Now we have reached the end. Where can we go? Like a circular movement that comes back to the original spot again, like a figure 8, the world is coming back to the original place where we started and now we can go the right way around. It began the wrong away around.

You big-headed leaders think, “Oh, well, I joined Unification Church 30 years ago. I am qualified as a leader and I do not have to go through suffering any more.” No. When God looks at you, you are not even like an elementary school kid to Him. Do you have the power of life within yourself? Are you sure that you are qualified enough that if anyone else is grafted into you, you can give new, heavenly life to them? That’s a problem. We know that about ourselves very well.

We understand, don’t we? It is like women cooking. If you just keep doing it and doing it, putting your effort into it, then you can come up with more delicious food. We have a Korean proverb that if you do your best, God will help you. Heaven helps those who help themselves. Once you keep repeating and repeating, you get bigger and greater. Father knew this truth a long time ago; that is why through prayer, Father established this worldwide foundation.

Do you understand the concept of repetition now? When you go to your office every day, you do things routinely, repetitively, don’t you? But every day, do even one iota more than the day before, put a little more effort into it every day. Then it will become new and in that way, God will come to you.

As long as God is following you, as long as God is with you, your nation and the world will be safe. By the same token, if we do not repeat our efforts, we will diminish. If you do a lot in the beginning and then in the middle of the project or task, you slow down your efforts, then you are going down the drain. Even if you start small and add something every day, you will become greater and greater. That is the ideal way.

Why do things happen in this world in general? Because every object, every subject is going around trying to find its counterpart. That is why circular motion takes place in the world-in order to become greater and bigger. Every plus is looking for a minus and every minus for a plus. That is the way they grow. We all go out and somehow move around in the same way. We go around to find a certain object, certain work and certain things to do. Do you understand?

Have this as your habit-every day you will do one more thing than yesterday, one more than other people. That is Father’s experience. When Father climbs up a mountain, Father sees the other people stop because we reached the top, but Father always goes up one or two steps higher than the other people. If other people stop early, it can be one hundred steps or ten steps further. It is that spirit of determination we are talking about. When spirit world looks down and finds people with that kind of spirit and determination, spirit world always watches over you and is with you.

What about sleeping time? Do we have to sleep ten more minutes than other people? No, we should sleep less than other people, getting up earlier than others. Even one minute earlier counts. That is the spirit we need. Father is sharing his secret with us this morning. Father has been living like that all these years. That is why the entire world is getting closer to Father and is within his reach. One more step, one more dollar every day, whatever. If we are dealing with a lot of friends, every day have a determination to give one more kind, heartistic word to make one more person feel happy. For example, if you have candy in your pocket, give the candy to one more person each day.

For example, while you are driving along, if you see a poor beggar, practice giving one more dollar to that beggar. If you don’t have money, give him a handkerchief. It is the spirit we are talking about, you understand. Don’t make them feel disadvantaged that they met you-make them feel that they gained something from you. That is where the world of Unification takes place. If that continues, repeating every day, if everyone in the world were doing that every day, what would you expect? The world of Unification would come about.

Even if you meet your enemy today and you feel like you want to attack him, do not think that way. Think: “Even to my enemy, I want to give one dollar, one more good thing.” That’s the spirit. That is a great ideology.

As long as you practice this life of the spirit as Father has described it, doing one more positive thing per day-ten or twenty or thirty years down the road, you will see thousands of people following you and respecting you. Try it experimentally. You will profit from it. Set a condition today-if I do more today, I will catch a bigger fish tomorrow. It is quite possible. That kind of phenomenon is taking place all around us. It is all interrelated. That is why sometimes Father says that if you want to give money to someone who needs it, don’t count the money in your wallet. Just give it. If you feel the money will be used wisely or beneficially, give it. Who is the owner? God. God is always looking for a fresh, new start, for new momentum. He will use such gestures. Do you understand? If that takes place, God comes right there. Keep repeating.

After you watched that videotape, were you really inspired or were you surprised or shocked? Even if you were shocked, it is no problem. If you have the spirit of repeating one hundred times, one thousand times, you can become greater than they. It is true.

That’s why whatever situation Father may face, Father never feels, “I can’t do that” because Father has proved to himself that he can do it. It is merely a matter of time and repetition. Even at the age of 80, Father feels that if he kept repeating drawing and painting pictures, he could become a very great artist. You know Father’s personality. If he just keeps drawing and doesn’t sleep and spends more and more effort and more time and spirit than the greatest artist in the world, he is confident he will become greater than that artist. That is the truth. The same principle comes in there. Give and forget, repeat again, and forget. Forget-that is how you can repeat again. Then you will reach to the best, the highest.

American sisters in particular, you must learn and cultivate that spirit of repeating. Okay?

Everybody stand up. Let us bow to True Parents one more time.
