LET US INHERIT THE REALM OF VICTORY OF OUR TRUE PARENTS REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

April 15, 1991 Grand Ballroom, World Mission Center, New York Translator - Dr. Bo Hi Pak Is today Parents' Day or True Parents' Day? (True Parents' Day). Father has written a title for the message this morning; everyone can read it can't you? Long title: Let Us Inherit the Realm of Victory of our True Parents, Parents' Day. That is the title for this morning's message. The present time, we have more than five billion people living on the face of the earth. But they are totally confused from the very beginning: they do not know how their history has been initiated, why we have been in this chaotic situation today, and what we are heading for in the future-all that confusion today, and five billion people are living under that confusion. The beginning was unclear, therefore the process is also unclear, therefore, certainly, the end is unclear. Under those unclear situations, all that has been flourishing is confusion. If the beginning was absolutely clear, then there could be no up or down, there could be no way to have confusion. Because the destiny is very clear and the end goal is absolutely clear. However, our history has not been so; history has been solid confusion and proceeding in confusion. Therefore, many people think certain things are good, certain things are evil; but the standard of good and evil always changes. For that reason, there is greater confusion and So in history there are two major parties or two elements: good and evil. The good part and evil part are always engaged in battle and confrontation. And at certain times, this has developed into bloodshed-up and down, creating confusion-continuing even today. In history there have been so many kingdoms, so many empires have come and gone. Those empires and kingdoms do not measure their destiny when they're going up or when they are going down; when they're going to be flourishing or when they are going to be demolished. No one knew. The rulers of the world throughout history, they want to stay in power, they want to stay good or continue their goodness; however, without them knowing it, for unknown logical reasons, they have to perish, have to be killed. They're kingdom has to be demolished. All this has been the real picture in history. So then centering upon men there is good and evil. Who is going to determine the rule of good and evil? Or what is the principle that is running good and evil cycles? If there is absolute good sovereignty for example, absolute, eternal good power, then that power would control and diminish evil and make good flourish, and good would continue to flourish. However, that has not been the case throughout history. Therefore, no one could recognize an absolute good solution, good principle or good ruler of the universe. The rulers of different kingdoms and empires had to make up their own sets of rules, sets of principles determining good and evil. Therefore, one set is different from another set; and another set is different from still another set. So everyone is operating under different criteria of good and evil. Therefore, every country has its own set of good and evil rules, and every country has a certain way of punishing evil. And every country has prisons, a system of judgment, and even capital punishment. Each country, in order to maintain sovereignty, had to enforce their own standard of good and evil. Therefore the standard of good and evil has been fluctuating up and down, according to the thinking and standards of each kingdom's ruler and sovereignty. Therefore all of humanity is destined to choose one way or the other. They desire to take a good road upon which they feel they can flourish, but they may go another way and follow the evil road. By following that way they will eventually perish. That has been the real panorama of history. However, the amazing thing is this: each individual has been endowed by our Creator, the Almighty God, with special equipment with a special function: that is the conscience. The conscience of every individual is telling them that even though the ruler is setting good and evil standards, they cannot follow that standard; that is not my good and evil standard. Your conscience won't allow that. Furthermore, the conscience has the power of judgment; the conscience can tell what level of evil or what level of goodness. Even looking at similar countries, the conscience will see which country is the more evil country and which is the relatively good country. The conscience has the power of judgment. Then conscience, furthermore, not only evaluates and judges, but conscience is also moving itself toward the best goodness it can find. What about the purpose of education? Is the purpose of education to educate the body or the conscience? What is the purpose of education in your opinion? (To educate the conscience). Your answer is absolutely wrong-you've been sleeping and not listening to Father. Father just said that conscience automatically has the power to judge between good and evil, and to follow the good. Whereas the body is absolutely a mess, therefore what needs to be educated is the body. The body has to be guided, educated and led into the right direction. So you can see a good man that you contact one time, second time, third time-your mind will know whether that person is good or evil, or how good and how bad-you can tell. The mind and body, the conscience and body, always fight with each other. That person has a lot of contradiction within himself or herself. But conscientious people have much more harmony between conscience and body-there is harmony and cooperation. According to this principle, the spirit world has to deal with the unchanging quality of conscience. Because the body is changing all the time, the spirit world cannot center on the body. Therefore, the spirit world is working with the conscience which is eternally unchanging. Because our conscience resembles the spirit world which is unchanging; spirit world and conscience do not change. The body can not receive spirit world; the body cannot communicate with the spirit world. The conscience, or mind, by mind basically Father is saying conscience is completely horizontal when spirit world comes down vertically to meet it. Spirit world vibrates together with the conscience, you can harmonize and receive a message from the spirit world. The conscience is always one, with one standard, following the one principle-unchanging. But the five human senses we have, for example the eyes, mouth, nose, ears, etc.-obey the body; therefore, they change with ten different kinds of variations, ten different ways they react The unreliable five senses open up and evil has a great field day flying in and out of that loop hole. There are a lot of loop holes which enable evil to come inside of you. The eyes can see so many different shades, so many different images. Even one image, by the perception of the body, can be perceived in so many different ways. The body is following that vision and acting upon it; that body is going down and down...taking the evil road. The body wants to eat good things, the body wants to run, the body wants to wear beautiful clothing, the body wants to rest. When it goes to the banquet room and there is a special table with special cuisine, the body always says, "That belongs to you; go there, sit down, eat." The body orders you immediately; then the mind says, "What are you talking about? Silence. That's for a special VIP, there's protocol; you don't belong there." The mind is rejecting the idea. Mind is trying to find its own place and harmonize; equally thinking where it's particu You cannot touch, cannot see, cannot even know whether mind is dwelling within you, but you know such a thing is there. But do you know where that mind comes from; what is its origin or root? What about the mind as a visible being or an invisible being? What about the root of the original mind-visible or invisible? (Invisible.) Absolutely invisible. The root of the mind has absolutely clear goals, clear direction, clear purpose-no problem there. So therefore, your mind is always working toward better goodness, the better side, the better way all the time. What do you think? Do you want to become sons and daughters of filial piety or do you want to become loyal subjects? Or do you want to be a rebellious son? Or a patriot? "I want to become a patriot." Between a patriot and a saint, what is your choice? (Saint.) You chose that because patriotism is limited to one country; on the other hand, a saint is universal, eternal and everlasting. So there is direction and purpose. So mind direction and purpose the mind's purpose, goal and direction would not be changed for ten thousand, even millions of years-that is the root of the mind. That is the root of the conscience. The man who follows the direction of conscience, that man is known to have noble character. For that reason, the root of that conscience must be the holiest of all characters. The man of noble character would be respected and admired. By the same token, the root of that noble character is the eternal center of goodness. There is the original root of conscience and your conscience and their purpose and direction are parallel. So you have to know one thing, then you have to know the other. So you have to know what is the goal and purpose very clearly, then you know absolutely everything and there is no confusion. What do you think? That the ultimate goal is the Constitution of the United States? (No) Civil Rights' laws? (No) The conscience's ultimate goal and direction: is it knowledge? (No) "I'm a graduate of Harvard and have so much knowledge in my head. Boy! This is it-I have ultimate goal and ultimate goodness; I have everything...knowledge is my god." But knowledge is already changeable. Even medical science today: someone says, "Vitamin B is very good for the body," and another scientist will come out with "Vitamin B is worst thing for the human body." A certain person will say, "This particular treatment is best for cancer;" the other person will say "That will kill man." Which one is the truth? Knowledge is changeable and moving forward. There is incredible confusion in academic society as well; there is no absolute truth that is guiding the academic world. Not at all. What is next? Money! You like money, don't you? Money; the word "money or mani" in Korean means "large quantity". So "mani money" means "lots of money". You have 1 billion dollars in your pocket; then your pocket says, "Oh what a wonderful feeling I have; I have a billion dollars in my pocket." But the pocket would like to rest and go swimming. Then the pocket would say, "Oh, someone will come and take it away; I have to watch it." What do you think? Is the pocket going to be restless or happy and peaceful? (Restless!) Father one time gave a check for 100 million won to one Korean minister, telling him, "You keep it until the next time you see me in such and such a place." So Father was told by the minister, "Father I have never had in my hand, a 100 million won check in my life-I have never even seen a check for that amount of money." So Father said, "Okay, I'll show it to you." Then Father gave 100 million won check to him. He was completely flabbergasted. Then he was even more flabbergasted when Father told him, "You keep it for one week and then bring it back." So that person was absolutely jubilant and took it home; then miserable." That's money-money plays a lot of tricks. What about political power? In order to maintain power, you cannot just act normally or be a good man. You've got to be absolutely savvy and cruel in order to maintain that power. Saddam Hussein is a good example. Because when you have sovereignty position and power, there is always someone else aiming at you, trying to topple that power. Therefore, there are gangsters and organized crime and the coup d'etat, the military and all kinds of saboteurs, and even other political parties, all of whom are just trying to character assassinate you. They try to turn you into a vegetable so that they can take power. That's the real world. Therefore, political power has nothing to do with eternal happiness. So there is God. Let's say that God is almighty. If almighty God is thinking eternal lasting peace and happiness, He must have devised something other than those items. He must be thinking much more deeply about something that will not endanger or threaten human tranquility and life. What is the most precious thing in human history? Conscience is the most precious, because conscience is the origin of life. Centered upon conscience we can talk about love; and a new element of love comes in. Throughout history, conscience is also connected to the lineage. Conscience is such a precious treasure for human lives. The conscience is invisible. You have life don't you? (Yes!) Is it your life? Or whose life is it? (God's) Universal life or your own private life, what do you think? (Universal). Your mind and body, especially your conscience, belongs to the universe; because it is coming from within the root in the universe-it is sharing the root. You ask your conscience, "What kind of ancestor would you like to have? Would you like to have your own father and grandfather, or country or nation and tribe-that kind of ancestor would you like to have? Or would like to have a universal ancestor?" Your conscience would respond, "Universal, absolutely. Why don't I belong to the universe and a universal being?" When you become famous, you want to become number one. Everyone competes with number one. In sports for example, you compete with number one. In life, you want to compete with number one to become number one. That is human nature. But in your body, there are billions of cells, and every cell is number one. When you exercise, that particular cell that is number one for exercise starts to move and becomes number one. Every cell has certain characteristics; in that given characteristic each cell is trying to be number one. Conscience is most important, number one. Then what? What is number two then? I don't know; I'm asking you. I want to hear your answer. What is number two? Number two is love. Conscience is number one, love is number two. The next most important element is love; but love and conscience are virtually one, because conscience exists in love and love exists in conscience. They are working together in one harmony, trying to be number one. Do you know how much love you need? Can you see love? Let me see your love. No one can see the love reality. Love action is a phenomenon. The essence of love cannot be seen; only love can be identified through the phenomenon. It appears through certain loving action. Through action, love can be manifested. Do you think love is traveling on the surface, or is love traveling the deepest possible depths? Which one? (Deepest possible depths.) Sometimes you have to have something high, don't you? Love is like a shaft, a center or axis. When the wheel turns, everything turns around the axis. By the same token, everything in the universe turns around love. Even though the human conscience is of noble character, at the same time different men and women have different types of conscience and cannot unite them. For that reason, the Almighty created a catalyst, to enable them to become one-that is the element of love. Love brings them together like glue. So therefore conscience's ultimate direction and ultimate goal has to be love. Conscience is driving man toward love as their ultimate goal. The love Father is speaking about is the most powerful and at the same time the most inspiring. For that reason it can step over, create a bridge all over the area. No gap can be created by love; love fills everything, every hole. Therefore, by stepping on that love staircase you can go all the way up to the highest possible realm, that is greater than any emperor or king, greater than any power. Love creates incredible virtues; toward the parents, love creates filial piety. Among the brothers, love creates brotherhood. Then love also creates patriotism; love also creates the next level, sainthood. Nothing else can bridge all of these things into one harmonious line except love. Love is unique and is the only thing that has the power to bridge from the level of pious son all the way to the saint. We came to the conclusion therefore that the root of conscience is Almighty God and that conscience's goal is love. Love will create all kinds of harmony, all kinds of beauty, all kinds of goodness, all kinds of happiness. Love is so flexible that it can turn and bring the front and rear into one, left and right into one, up and down into one, it's almost like Disneyland. There is so much turning, riding, going in all kinds of directions with everybody riding in and enjoying the many different kinds of rides. Conscience and love are like that. A roller coaster goes up to the top of the hill and then starts to go down, with everybody screaming and screaming together. Then is there anyone who will say, "Why do you scream? Stop! Don't yell, silence." No; even old Grandpa and Grandma will scream also at the same time-they laugh and smile with everyone-the feeling is one, harmonious. In that kind of situation, old grandma hold young grandson, or even a strange young man, or hold onto someone else's wife-they are just absolutely so flexible. On a roller coaster everyone is united-it doesn't matter who that person is, in that particular place you kiss and nobody will blame you. (laughter) White one kiss black one, black one kiss white one, white one kiss yellow one, yellow kiss red one-it doesn't make any difference-go ahead. Everything good! In order to give the greatest gift of all, the Almighty has created love. Love is the ultimate gift from the root of conscience. Therefore in order to make love work, God in Heaven created men and women, plus and minus-in order to have love blossom. Centering love, connecting as one. In there connecting into one, unifying divisions, harmonizing everything. If you take out love, then everything would be miserable. So we cannot deny the greatest gift of all the Creator endowed upon human beings is love. So does the direction and goal have to be a crooked line or up and down or a straight line toward the goal? What do you think? (Straight line) Is it confusion or not? (No!) Straight line and short cut way. Shortest cut distance, something that travels shortest distance is only love; not even electricity-shortest cut distance love travels. The fastest speed of all is true love. The fastest of all; true love the shortest distance and the fastest way. Love always hits you at 90 degrees: your eyes, your mouth, because 90 degree impact is strongest-most powerful. Perfect 90 degrees match in any direction. As you can see, in this perfect 90 degree four direction in this kind of formation there is no loss or no waste; because it fits perfectly everywhere-perfectly fitting, therefore no losses. So you know that anyone who has a 75 degree nose, or anyone who has a 35 degree nose; how about ears? Sound comes in a straight line into your ears. So when you have even chalk between your two palms, moving in this formation, but then all of the sudden both hands forget there is a chalk, because they see that perfect harmony is created. So power comes this way, and stops right here. Then here it becomes zero With love, normally it doesn't matter what day it is; love is universal and today is one of the universal days. So love is the ultimate gift from the root of conscience which is the Creator. The conscience root is true and works in that same fashion, by the same principle. So therefore, whatever the root of conscience pursues, the goal and direction is one in the same, not two. So therefore, in order to have love manifest more perfectly, there shall be subject and object, there shall be plus and minus, there shall be men and women-that's how the creation has been made. Is the Love root subject, or is conscience root subject? Your conscience is in the object position. Subject/object makes the circle of life. That is the ideal purpose, isn't it? (Yes) How can you connect with it? With the love circle. The concept we are talking about cannot be denied by anyone. When Father hears the translation, he realizes there are so many important parts missing, and I realize it. Father doesn't feel good. So Father prefers more and more to speak English. Suppose American people love steak. You order steak but someone sprinkles flour on top of it or sand on it. Can you enjoy that steak? (No!) Today, that's exactly how Father feels. So today Father is eating a very bad steak. Within ten generations Father's family lineage will be connected to the whole of humanity. Every race, country and nationality will in one way or another become a relative to our True Parents' family. Would you like that to happen or not? (Yes!) You applaud and you are very ecstatic about it, but Father has a different worry. Father wants to tighten up his belt, but Mother didn't create another hole. This is a very good sign for Mother because it means Father is losing weight. So the most important thing for human beings are conscience and love. Anybody opposed? (No) Everybody agree? (Yes) The unchangeable conscience enjoys and unites together with an unchangeable quality of love. The answer is yes or no? (Yes) Yes? You're making your voice too loud; so all visiting bust out-how about that? I like that; how about you? You don't like that. I like that, but you don't like that. Cannot make it equalization-do you like that (Yes!) No, no Father said "cannot make equalization" and you answer that you answer "yes". Father said, "is that a yes?" and you said, "yes". I heard clearly; I talk clearly. That kind of word I hear; the sound is "nooooo"; (but you said) not "no" but "yesss". Is that the correct answer? (No) It was a bad answer. That answer was different from me. My conscience is looking forward to being united with unchangeable love. The originally unchangeable mind wants to take unchangeable love-that is the formula way. How about American love? This is a serious question. How about American love? (It's changeable) How many degrees changeable? (180 degrees) Not 180, 260 degrees. (Father laughs). 260 degrees has center, but American love has no center-making it so that it can go around and strike every place-hit and break down the family, nation, and society. This is the American love system. Does every American conscience want true love? No. This is the problem. The American love world needs reformation, revolution and action. Don't you think so? (Yes) This is the problem. How can we import that kind of true love? How much does that true love cost? Can 100 million dollars buy that kind of true love? (No) Can giving all the land in America be a fair exchange for that kind of love? (No!) This is the American people's homework. Who solved this situation of confusion, making it righteous and correct? So all that Father has described so far, the perverted uncentered love, just whimsical and floating love-commonly known as the perversion of love; that is prevailing. True conscience never wants that; the root of conscience never wants that; true love never want that; the Creator never wants that. Therefore, what is needed in the world today is a revolution; revolutionize and bring it back to the original state. For that reason God has a providential plan to bring the coming of the Messiah. By doing so, the solution can be given to mankind. Yes or no? (Yes) You know, we are all in double layers. One is mind, which is God's side, and the other is body, which is Satan's side. Two layers of man. So actually, without Satan your mind and body would be Godlike and mind and body would become plus and minus united into one. However, because of Satan this second part become another plus. So a double plus has been formed. Therefore, ultimately in the end when the Messiah comes, the seed of original plus and minus, original unity of mind and body, will be germinated. And starting from here, growing into larger quality and larger quantity, and eventually occupying entire territory in true vertical and true horizontal line. That is the mission of the Messiah. So basically the coming of the Messiah is to bring men and women into the original state where there was no Fall of Man. That is the original state, and to bring them back to that original state is the purpose. The worst situation that happened was that Satan occupied the body of men and Satan multiplied his own children and that became humanity. Mankind is stained in their lineage. Satanic lineage has been flourishing. This has been the problem. So there is the plus and there is a minus, plus and minus. Satan is always in the plus position on earth, so we knock Satan's plus down and in front of it create a major plus which is the Messiah, which is God, the Creator. And we create ourselves as the minuses. So in this situation, Father is trying to look for this kind of man. So that within the one seed there is two parts, plus part and minus part, subject part, object part in one seed. This is love cover. Man is supposed to be love's universal representative. So love covered them up, so inside that cover there is a plus and minus. So when the plus and minus is totally united within the cover of love, then if another plus would try to invade the original plus would repel it. Universal power would repel the illicit plus. Another minus, because once this invasion becomes successful, this order has been broken. If another minus successfully invades, this order and system has been broken. That is the reason the cover of love is protecting that particular seed. The universe is our best policeman, because the universe always protects the righteous thing. Therefore, when the plus and minus become harmonious and united, with the universe protecting it, illicit love attempts from another minus will be expelled. By the same token when there is a storm, in the clash of a thunderstorm you hear the thunder and lightning. That means multi-billion volts of plus and minus are clashing in the sky. How can they create themselves into such a gigantic plus and gigantic minus? As long as there is no explosion, the pluses always unite themselves, minuses always unite themselves becoming giant plus and giant minus until the time comes when they clash-that we call a thunderstorm. This is the most beautiful principle that Father has discovered: as long as there is no object formed, the subject always increase itself-uniting plus and plus and plus. Minus also increases itself by adding minus, minus and minus. When you see the physics books in school, you see the statement that plus always repels plus electricity, minus always repels minus electricity, that is iron rule. But Father has discovered that is not always true. They do not repel, they would rather unite, until they find each other an object and subject, at which time they repel. But until then, they unite with each other. So it is a universal law that when there is a plus and minus united, nobody wants a third party to invade-not in the plant kingdom, the insect kingdom or anywhere. No one will invite an invasion from a third party. That's a universal rule. Is that true? (Yes) So with a human being, before you get married or know the opposite sex, then the boys all get together with other boys and become big bundles of boys of joy-they will create a boy party. Girls will gather and create a girl party. That's fine and natural. But one of the boys one day gets married. Then one of the remaining boys said to the others, "Boys, lets play!" But the bridegroom will say to them, "Get out of here! Get behind me Satan!" They don't want that anymore-no invasion. So it's the same thing with the women. A women has a very handsome husband, but some of her friends are much prettier than herself. Then she will push them out and shut the door. Why? Now that couple can harmonize into one, the position which the universe can protect, because universal law comes into action. This is the universal law of existence. So men you have two eyes, don't you? You have two ears? But you're not hearing two different words-they are harmonized and equalized. As long as the two eyes, two nostrils, and two ears are harmonized, they only receive the one image. This is harmony. Therefore in Buddhism they always bring the two terms together; that shows the left and right are perfectly harmonized and come under the protection of the universal law. The fate of the universe will protect the unified weight of subject and object. There is universal fate love. Up/down, left to right, front/rear, all those make a harmonized, unified place forever. Nothing can be invaded there. No matter if Satan exists someplace, and wants to infiltrate there, he cannot do that. Another important law of the universe is that the perfect plus or perfect subject, automatically forms the perfect minus. The perfect plus creates a perfect minus. This is what they call "evolution theory". Father is not talking about Darwin's evolution theory; this is the Divine Principle's evolution theory. Plus and minus unite, then become either a greater plus to attract a greater minus, then united together create either a greater minus or a greater plus, then united into an even greater minus or greater plus. This is the way progress is made. For instance, man is plus/minus. The plus place is the mind; the minus place is the body. United they make a complete, small entity of man. In each man a big plus is automatically appearing. Do you understand? This is also Father's principle for the dispensation. Father always positions himself as the perfect plus, perfect subject. He moves forward as a perfect subject and perfect plus and anybody who's hit become minus or they shatter. So Father will grow in strength because this absolute plus, absolute subject-if another plus should hit either they become shattered into pieces, destroyed, or they become minus, united into one and become Father's party. Then Father's party will grow. So what happened to Father? The United States of America, the giant country and one of the superpowers of the world, hit Reverend Moon. Reverend Moon, as absolute subject and plus, said, " Come on, you hit me." What happened? Even though legally what they say is something else, but universal law says the United States was shattered. Or conscientious people rise up, unite with Reverend Moon, and become an incredible force of the universe, spreading all over the world. America has persecuted Father, and what happened? The worst of all satanic nations, the Soviet Union, welcomed Father, and the Soviet heads of state and sovereignty welcomed him into the Kremlin and gave him the most royal reception and red carpet treatment. When the US was hitting Father as the big plus, the US was shattered. And the Soviet Union welcomed Father as a big minus, and it become harmonious. Darwin's theory of evolution looks alright on the surface; but it does not expound the very root, the very bottom, very fundamental cause of the mistake. So you men and women marry. Given the Blessing by True Parents, you become husband and wife and become a heavenly plus. All kinds of outside minor pluses are hitting you; but when you are outstanding and strong and take the position of the absolute plus, then all these pluses will either be shattered or join you. You become giant plus, then you can challenge the national level and the worldwide level. That is exactly Father's way of life. Father initiated his battle as an individual; then proceeded onto the family level, the tribe level, clan level, national level, then worldwide level. Father has been on the worldwide level for so long; and now Father is fighting the universal level. The United States of America was defeated; however, good, conscientious Americans rose up. So even in the Persian Gulf War, Father made certain recommendations to George Bush, and he was making the same recommendations to Gorbachev. The recommendation was a serious one: it is a good idea, an incredibly strategic idea, so the staff brought it up to the level of the President. He read it and said, "Boy this is incredible; but I just got the telegram this morning and Gorbachev told me the same thing." Little did he know, it came from the same source. This is how Father shortened the war in the Persian Gulf. Yesterday, Sunday, the second Sunday in the month of April, the most incredible thing happened: George Bush declared April 5th, 6th and 7th as national days of prayer for thanksgiving for the great victory in the Persian Gulf with the lots of sacrifices of the good men and women of not only the United States but the allied nations. His declaration was made with beautiful penmanship, into almost a Declaration of Independence-well-written and quoting a tremendous amount of words from the Bible-particularly the Psalms. Then thanking God, Heavenly Father, "God, You gave this miraculous victory". Even the Commander-in-Chief Schwartzkoff stated that this Desert Storm war was won miraculously. So, "I, George Bush, President of the United States, declare to all members of this nation to celebrate this victory by giving thanks to God, by displaying proudly the United States' flag and each congregation meeting in their own places. Furthermore, on April 7th at 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon, all the bells of the country will ring in thanksgiving to God." George Bush made that special proclamation. He signed two original copies, framed beautifully; then George Bush said, "That one original goes to the Archives, giving copies to all the press, to the states, to all the necessary people; but another original one, he asked his staff to send to Reverend Moon. I would like to add that Father wrote two letters to President Bush before the Persian Gulf War and during the war itself. In the first letter that Father wrote he said, "George Bush, President of the United States, you cannot win this battle without the help of God Almighty." George Bush stated the very words that Father had written to him in his own proclamation-quoted verbatim what Father had said in that letter. I was amazed. Father said, "Don't promote it too much." Human history started in tragedy, because Adam and Eve did not enter into Heaven. Before they were ready to be blessed, when they were teenagers, they fell. After that, the fallen generations have been flourishing, not God's generations or lineage. That has been the tragedy; that has been the origin of mischievousness of our world. Satan uses two tactics to prolong his reign, Satan's kingdom. First of all, Satan destroyed all the evidence. He cut it up so that everything appears to originate with the body. The body is Satan's site, Satan's weapon in the cover up. And also he created the most incredible perversion of sex-the misuse of sex. These two weapons Satan utilizes. However, conscience is God's weapon Satan knows that so Satan is always trying to have the power of the body obscure the power of the conscience. That is the effort of Satan. This is why so much immorality is flourishing in this country, because the conscience has been diminished by Satan's tactics. Therefore, the rich people tend towards Satan's world. Satan blesses the worst guys. Satan is trying to make people in the world make a lot of money; Satan always trying to make it so that the body-centered people make a lot of money. In order to make money, you have to kill your conscience. With a good conscience, you cannot be a rich person very well. Money has become a satanic weapon and has created an incredibly immoral culture. There are many artificial intoxicants: tobacco is one, alcohol is another, worse is all the different kinds of drugs. Then there is prostitution, free sex, all kinds of homosexuality and lesbianism. These are all the satanic weapons obscuring the work of the conscience. By doing so, Satan's rule can be prolonged. So God is warning the world through the mouth of Father, that you must find the way of life where your conscience is happy and satisfied. You must live that life! That is God's warning! Following the laws of body, you would not find any way to go to Heaven. By way of conscience, yes! Unification Church members therefore have been chosen as God's champions; God's air force, God's navy, God's infantry-so that we go into all the satanic covered area-even including the houses of prostitution and all those places. We are going to show that the conscience must come alive. You must become always absolute plus no matter what; and either clash with and shatter the evil plus or convert them into minus, so that Satan will be defeated. That is Father's strategy. God sent Father to this big country-to show this country their wrong doings. America must change or it will perish in the not-so-distant future. The majority of the white people in this country do not want to be told to change and be involved in making "heaven on earth." "We are happy already," they say and they all take a leader's position. Great country people feel, "Hey, what are you saying about me? My feeling is not so good; we're going to kick you out." They create an atmosphere of persecution from all four directions against the Unification Church. Only one Reverend Moon is standing up; young people shoot arrows, bullets, machine guns, shooting me. But they cannot destroy me. Why? Because I take the absolute plus position; that is my continuous way. Minus automatically follows, becoming God! My True Parents! You can now understand clearly Satan's aim: "How can I obtain the mind?" With what? With the body; Satan uses the body. He tells you to go out: "Reverend Moon is working much too hard" he will say, "The daytime is so clear, the sky is clear, air is clear, sea is clear; it's springtime, why do you stay in this dark place? Do you like this kind of situation? Your position is much too difficult, how can you stand that kind of situation? You are wrong, wrong, wrong." Your habit is your body: "I like that; good food-I like that. Good clothes-I like that; good place-I want to stay good bed where sleeping is good." Your habit sounds and tastes very good. One more time you want that sweet way, sweet feeling. With stimulating things: drugs, alcohol, beautiful woman/ handsome guy. Do you like that? A beautiful woman or handsome guy stands there saying, "I waited for a long time, now you appear. Thank you. Welcome." Following that way you will fall down into hell. This ownership could be restored. True Parents are the true mind owner, true love owner-you have to know that. True Parents characteristics are the concepts of true love kingship. How can we restore this? That is True Parents' main mission. Do you understand clearly? The world of conscience has been made victim every time; not victor, but victim. Originally, God had never made the word "victim," only victorious words. Because of the other side, we lost this most precious situation. How can we solve this problem? The main point is kingship of mind. Do you understand? Yes! And kingship of what? True Love. Those two immediately make that different relationship 180 degrees from Satan's world. No problem! Satan's world must follow that, and we raise the standard after that, lowering it down clearly into Hell's different waters. They immediately turn around 180 degree, towards Heaven. True God, True Parents, True Love, True Life, True Lineage-no matter how strong, Satan's power cannot continue there. Those are the original heart's love purpose, not Satan's purpose. Forever it connects with God's purpose; it's eternal direction is God's direction. God is subject, humankind is object centering on true love, connecting with one true love forever. With this viewpoint we can make our conclusion. Humankind can live forever centering on true love, the ideal of God's creation . Do you understand? This is the viewpoint of Principle. Now will you follow me and understand everything? Yes or no? (Yes!) So you absolutely need True Parents. By following that path all the time you can restore absolute ownership. We have to take absolute true love kingship. The original connecting point of divine and human love is the sexual organs. That organ is the king's palace of love; that is the most valuable place. Man and woman connect there, and from there connect children and life. It is the king's life palace, isn't it? And there connect the kingship lineage. Those three foundations connect at that one point. Of all humankind, in all the created world, this is life's most valuable thing. This is the most high level valuable place. Not just anyone can open that place, only the absolute owner, the one absolute subject. From there, absolute love appears. Through those two organs comes absolute soul-baring. It connects automatically to the creation of the absolute ideal. This is not restoration, not the way of salvation. But we need that messiah, we need a way of salvation. Why? Because of the fall. Otherwise we don't need a saviour or messiah, True Parents. Originally we had everything: God's ideal mind, God's body, God's love. This true love and value was lost after the fall. Your original mind understood that true love and value. So you can take back the original human dignity of personality. Then Satan will be blocked. For humankind what is the most deep, important point? The mind. The second is love. Looking from that particular viewpoint, all over the world, you cannot find anyone harmonized in mind and love. We understand that clearly. However we can attain that purpose easily. Why? We know the truth. Until now, we didn't know the truth clearly. Satan loved that complicated situation in which our side was saying "good, good, good" about the exciting, stimulating atmosphere. Satan makes that fallen surface on this earth-Satan's armament which fell down from heaven. Look at the color of this world, this hell of yours. God looks down on such a miserable situation, absorbing it for a long, long time before restoring it at one time. God waited tediously for that point in time. No one knew that until Reverend Moon came into this world and dug up everything clearly. The satanic world was surprised, amazed. No one had known their side's secret. God absolutely judged Satan. Satan accused: "Why can God keep the beautiful creation foundation? I cannot permit that kind of duality. Wipe it out! If God doesn't take the restoration way, I'll take the creation for myself." The principled viewpoint is this: no matter how strong is God's power, Satan cannot deny my way-I will proclaim it, I will do it step by step, reclaiming the individual foundation, family foundation, Father's holy blessing after that, and after that the family pulling over the representatives of Satan's family. "You are wrong; you have belonged to Satan's side. Make yourself independent; after that follow me. Otherwise you will perish". I make my point clearly; but they ask, "Well, what did you say? We are very happy. Throughout history inherited this way of life, and in the future we will go the same way. What are you talking about, making a more complicated situation? We don't like that! Go behind us!" Father didn't accept that. Father took the consequences every time centering on God's law of conscience. I opened doors and left them open behind me. The route you have to follow is my way-the way I took has become the universal textbook. If you can understand the contents of this textbook, you will be grateful forever. You cannot separate from those contents. If you take one taste it is much too sweet, it's like honey. You cannot turn back. You want more and more; it is that kind of situation. So when you taste that kind of real taste, no matter how your parents, your relatives, your country goes against you, you will never change. Kidnapped by parents? Has that kind of activity ever been done before in history? No! Never have parents in the past taken their children by kidnapping-the first time it occurred was in the Unification Church. This was Satan's last weapon. Satan is using that last weapon to destroy all unification centering on Reverend Moon. So you need me? Yes! Why? (True Love.) Why? Reverend Moon is standing in the True Parents' position. No matter that he is an older guy looking bad, he has the most precious thing: touching him we connect to true love, true life and true lineage . Otherwise, there is no way. So you have to get those three things; you have to take back those three most valuable things to humankind. You have to connect with Father. You want to meet Father all the time, isn't that true? When I leave this country, America is a vacant place. Father comes back, then America is full. Love power is making that kind of mysterious event. So I like that, you like it too: true love forever. In there we will take that happiness; in there hope, in there peace, in there freedom. Lacking that love place, how much freedom is there? No one wants to stay there at all. Centering on love, we can have freedom. The American concept of freedom is wrong. So today is Parents' Day, and Father wrote "The True Parents' Realm of Victory". The realm of victory started out from the small individual realm, to the family realm, tribe realm, national realm, and international and worldwide realm and now Father is covering the entire universe. Virtually Father is now working to liberate all of the communist world. That has been started and very, very much is being accomplished. You are like a student and you have to get a good mark. You have to receive a diploma from the True Parents. Becoming True Children of the True Parents-that diploma far surpasses a diploma from Harvard University which is like a peanut, like nothing. Satan would like to bargain. Satan, knowing he is defeated by the power of True Parents, is bargaining with God saying, "Well I'll give up everything-all the universe, all mankind, all material wealth, including Satan myself-I'll give up everything. God could you give me Reverend Moon?" And God will say, "No! Get behind me Satan!" Exactly can someone come to you and say, "I'll give you all of New York City if you give me your son, your daughter." Can you do it? No! Someone will say, "I'll give the entire world, the entire wealth of the United States of America to you; can I have your wife?" Can you do it? No! Can I have your husband? Can you do it? No! So can you embrace with the United States: the mountains, the dirty Hudson River and say, "This is my lover." Can you say that? No! However when a little child comes to you, "Daddy, Mommy" particularly when you've been away and the child comes to you to make a reunion, then the tears are trickling down the cheek, your heart is melted, completely melted-no prize, no money can be attached to that kind of feeling. This is the priceless feeling of love. It is the love being, love vibration, love light. In love the entire universe will vibrate together. The universe will dance according to that love vibration. This is the month of April, so when you go to Central Park or anywhere, there are beautiful flowers in bloom, there is an incredible rainy day, some day-the rain comes and virtually destroys the flowers. Can you go out to Central Park and embrace the flowers and say, "Oh what can I do to save you from the destruction of the rain? I'm so sad." You're crying together with the flowers. When you love God's creation, those beautiful flowers, God's heart will be moved. God will say, "You are truly my son; you are truly my daughter" God's Heart will be moved because you loved His creation. If you really inspire God's Heart, what happens? God is looking down, "My son and my daughter are so sorrowful because of this rain destroying the flowers". All of a sudden, God will say, "Rain go away; clouds go away. Come the rainbow." And the rainbow will appear in the sky. As soon as the rain has ended, the flower will be smiling at you and saying, "Thank you, God's son; thank you True Parents' children." Father is giving this analogy because if you love nature or God's creation that much, how much will that person love their own children, their own spouse? The flowers are stationary. To look at the flowers, you have to go to the park. But little children follow you; your spouse is with you; you can go together, smile together, embrace together. This is what the family is all about centering on true love. So how can you compare that with the love of creation, such as the love of flowers? So if you really want to know the world of love, you have to really understand the world of the True Parents' love. This is where the original root is located. So when I wear the glasses of conscience looking at the United States of America, I absolutely have no shame. In a way America sinned me in front of me; they abused me. They not only sinned in front of me, because of me they are all sinners and furthermore they came to say "I'm going to judge you. I'm going to bring the verdict upon you." That's what the United States did to Reverend Moon. Danbury will not be erased; it's going to remain in the United States history-to the end. This realm of victory of True Parents, Father would like to bequeath to you, give it to you as your inheritance. So Father's victory goes from here all the way to the world and universe. You here, inherit the realm of victory of the True Parents. You come to your own tribe and become a tribal messiah. That is exactly what we are about. As a tribal messiah, you become the ancestor of your own tribe. This is the position. Your descendants, the future generations of your clan, will look upon you as the Abraham of your family. So Father knows the preciousness of messiahship; for that reason nothing stood in his way. No suffering mattered, no torment was too great, no persecution was too much, and he came this far. Because Father suffered so much, there's so much incredible credit that comes to Father. So many medals all over his body. You will not see-but there is a spiritual medal everywhere on Father's body because each victory represents one medal. So I received all those medals; this is a pure medal that signifies that God recognized the value. I don't want to spend it; I don't want to do anything about it; I don't want to turn it over to you; I don't want to turn it over to you without price. This comes to you free-this is what Father is trying to do. You may not believe my words today; but when you go to spiritual world, exactly what Father is saying today you will know. But if you come to realize it only after you arrive in spirit world, it will be too late. Then what can you do? Can you look upon Father? You cannot squarely face Father. You are so shameful, you have to bow your head. Since Father knows the rule of the spirit world absolutely-for that reason, Father has been treated almost like an outcast his entire life. But Father is enduring and persevering because Father foresaw the end result. Does Bush know the spirit world and how to govern the world with the principle? Does Gorbachev know about that? Not at all; neither do. But if they listen to Reverend Moon then they will come to know the rules of the universe. Why should they believe Reverend Moon? How can they take Reverend Moon's word seriously? How do they know? They might think that Reverend Moon is a swindler. How can they believe Reverend Moon? If they look at Reverend Moon's life, then they will know. Reverend Moon is the absolute plus walking under the most incredible adverse conditions day after day, victoriously. He literally became a worldwide leader, changing the shape of the world today. From now on there's not going to be persecution. Reverend Moon survived this far under those kind of adverse conditions; no one can torment Reverend Moon anymore. That's what they know; that's the way Reverend Moon is true. They will know. So all mankind will see Reverend Moon as victor as Father said; and furthermore, there's a hope that they follow Father. Generally speaking, Unificationists have a reputation as dedicated, sacrificial, and conscientious. And they go after not the carnal desires of the body; they are especially clean in morality, especially sexual morality-they are clean people, they are pure like snow. That's Unificationists. Most recently, Father heard that there was an oriental herb doctor-oriental medicine, not western medicine-who has been practicing in San Francisco. He treated lots of women; they heard there was a place like the New Yorker. There are about 1000 men and women living in one house. Everyone, in true San Francisco mentality, thought, "There's going to be an incredible inferno; incredible immorality must be being conducted in that house." So they sent secret investigators, trying to find what the New Yorker life is all about. When they come, they saw men and women living humbly in the New Yorker. Some are married, some unmarried, some men, some women-investigating, they have not found even one case of sexual immorality. One thousand people living in one house, they expected virtually an inferno every night, virtually an incredible mad house every night. But instead there was peace; there was a rule, there was a principle; and most important of all, there was a moral standard in that house. So that person was not only completely flabbergasted, but knocked out and joined the Unification Church. It is reality. Now look at this; now there are a people who live that purely on the face of the earth. A new breed has been created, with consciences like angels. You know their sexual life is as white as snow. So that kind of new breed has come upon the face of the earth. It is not just a dream; it could be only a dream in the minds of millions of people. But for us it is a reality. Give the thanksgiving that God has given us this life, this way of life through our encounter with the True Parents. We have this most beautiful way of life. This is the worst threat to Satan; but, at the same time, the greatest joy and greatest blessing for God and His hope. You must realize you cannot diminish this great treasure and tradition that Father has built through you. Because two sets of parents: one is God's parents, one is True Parents. Two sets of parents in order to build such a standard-they have been tortured, they have shed blood, they have been persecuted and shamed. They have received the most incredible incrimination. With that cost, this priceless treasure has been won. This is really the secret treasure of the universe. From this we can demolish hell-hell on earth and hell in the spirit world. Furthermore, most important of all, we can build the kingdom of Heaven on the earth and in Heaven. That is Hallelujah, Amen! (Applause) I want you to understand this precious True Parents' realm of victory. Father has won with his life of blood and sweat and finally obtained victory. And Father and Mother want to turn it over to you without any price; inherit it to you so that it becomes yours. So you can succeed Father's tradition. So that you will become a tribal messiah. You may not be 100% at first. This is the true messiah; tribal messiahs refer to the branches of that tree. You belong to the main tree. As long as you belong to the main tree, you are a Tree of Life and can multiply life. So you are going to restore the elder son's position; you are going to restore the True Parents' position; you are going to restore the kingship position. So this main trunk is the True Parents; the flower will blossom in this main trunk and flowers will also blossom in these branches and the two flowers are identical. They are not two different flowers, but the same flower. Also they bear fruit, and the seeds are identical. Another incredible vertical element plus horizontal element is happening because of that; that is, Father always preaches that the spirit world is coming down and assist you. That is the reality; that is happening. But not only that, when you inherit True Parents' realm of victory not only the Unification spirit world, but that of all the different religions and denominations on the face of the earth. They are affected by their own spirit world, they have to come to assist you. Old Testament era, New Testament era, Completed Testament era-every era's different denominations-all the spirit world is coming down. At the same time, their correlating denominations on earth will come to the True Parents. The Old Testament and New Testament are the main trunk, right? There are a great number of saints there. When they are coming down to assist Father's ministry, as well as your ministry, by the same token they are affecting their own denomination and horizontally those people come to assist you. Therefore, you are going to see the most incredible miracle in your lifetime within your own village, within your own town, within your own community. Just test it out yourself; just kick and create a problem-initiate something. Then you will see a most strange power come to act upon you. So far we have been persecuted, so we have been living with a mentality of a persecuted minority. So when someone comes or when you go somewhere and start speaking to someone-your heart starts pounding. "What can I do if something happens? What can I do if some satanic action occurs?" On the contrary, Father said, it will be the opposite. You are the tower of strength, the absolute plus. When you talk to people, their heart is pounding: "What a mighty power that woman has! What mighty words are spoken by that man!" Their heart is going to be pounding. Because we have the most powerful weapons: Divine Principle, True Love and True Parents! Amen! (applause). We are celebrating the thirty-second Parents' Day today. So the thirty-third Parents' Day will be next year, in 1992. The thirty-second anniversary means thirty-one years; the thirty-third anniversary means thirty-two years; and then thirty-fourth anniversary means thirty-three years. The next two years are going to be very significant. This is the life span of Jesus. The entire world power is up against Reverend Moon's lonely power, but that lone power is much greater and heavier. Father is the heavyweight champion; the other side is a white belt karate. It's so heavy, it not only tilts the balance but turns it around. That's true. Did you ever imagine that Father would go to the Soviet Union is his lifetime? Father knew and Father predicted it. Do you trust and believe Father's word? (YES! )Or do you just consider Father's words: "I will take into consideration what Father said today." Are you going to consider or trust and believe? (Trust and believe!) There is a honey jar; you are eating honey that is so sweet. Do you want to just enjoy your own honey, all by yourself, or take the bottle with you to your hometown so that everyone will share the same honey? (YES!) So there you are. They will want to have more honey. Okay, come over, come over. Then what would you do? Not just honey, but you would give them eternal life. We have honey factory: the honey maker is Reverend Moon! So amazing thing is that the universal raw material is in abundance, with no end. Father can make jar, after jar, after jar. If you have no more supply, just come to Father and ask for honey. (Applause) So the conclusion is this: "Yes, that is the only truth. Father we have no choice except to obey and follow you; we will live and die for you." Those who do, will you raise your hands? Now shake your hands, like an earthquake. We are uniting the entire world. (Applause).

THE SEED AND ROOT OF TRUE LOVE IS THE BLESSED FAMILY REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

April 14, 1991 Belvedere International Training Center Translator - Sang Kil Han The topic of Father's sermon this morning is The Seed and the Root of True Love is the Blessed Family. It is blessed family, not blessed couple. The meaning of couple and family is different. Do you understand the meaning of the title? We can see that the seed and root of true love exist only within the family; they do not exist separately or anywhere else. The unification of all levels, country, society, and even the world, starts from the unification of an individual family. Of what is a family composed? Man and woman. Therefore man and woman represent all creation, mankind and creatures included. Man and woman also represent the plant kingdom where there are male and female elements and even the mineral kingdom where positive and negative elements are also found.  God represents both male characteristics and female characteristics. Take one couple as an example. They fully represent all things including humankind, found within the universe. When you pull the line of that couple, all things are attached to it. They are the root and they are connected with each other. When man and woman are treated separately, a man will say, "I am I" and a woman also would say, "I am I." They both think they are top, the number one. Isn't that true? That is the way each one of us feel individually; "I'm the top and without me, nothing exists." If man is in the top position and woman is in the top position1 how can there be unity and harmony and equalization? How can those three things be accomplished? The very concept of harmonizing, equalizing and unifying, implies two or more things coming together. If you are talking in relation to things remaining separate, harmony, equality and unity have no meaning. When two things are separate, existing individually with no center, then there there is no hope for eternity that they will ever come into unification. They will remain separate. One might ask, "Why do I need unification? It is too complicated. As fine as I am, why would I need equalization? Why do I have to harmonize when I have the right to live any way I want?" But looking hack at Adam and Eve's time, what did they have, what did they look for? They wanted to find laughter. Centered on what? What was it through which they could laugh? Let's say one exists by himself. How does that person know what he looks like? Does he caress his own eyes, intoxicated by their beauty? Does he spend time thinking that their function is fantastic? What about his nose and mouth? Can you be fascinated by your own face that way? What if there are two men and they look at each other and one caresses the other's eyes saying, "How beautiful these eyes are, how nice this nose is." You would feel terrible seeing that! Does it looks nice to see a man touching another man? Out on Fifth Avenue, watching so many thousands of people waIking by, Father often wonders, "How could I or how could anyone ever put them all into order?" If there was a computer to give people all the necessary commands about what to do, like "Now you do this and now do that", soon, no matter how big that computer was, it would burn out! Then all of a sudden Father remembers, there is man and there is woman and they take care of each other without the other having to say anything. How wonderful! So among the hundreds of thousands of people there, a man will pull a woman aside and say, "Let's go this way, let's go do that" or the woman may say, "No. Let's do that." And then they settle down somehow. But if there were only men, with no women, they could never settle down. It is a great problem if there are men but no women or the other way around. There is no way you can put that kind of situation into order. In a family, the man goes out to work and comes back in the evening, pulled by the power of love. The wife too goes out shopping and always comes back pulled by love. The children, sons and daughters go to school or go anywhere and they always return, pulled by the power of love. The family is the place where couples, parents and children all dwell in love. Isn't that true? The small grandsons and granddaughters of Father, they too want to crowd around. When everyone is gathered together they are very happy and excited. If they are told to play in a certain place they say, "No". They will refuse to do that and instead go to their grandfather and grandmother and just hang around them. What makes them do that? Of course, it is love. What about the aged people, like a grandfather and grandmother who say, "I am too tired to play with the grandchildren." Would they do that? No, they are even more excited and happy. This is the flower of love. It is the fruit of love so that family is full of all the warmth of love. Looking at that even the cells of an individual's body love it and want to be immersed in it and be intoxicated by it. Isn't that true? Isn't that what the family is all about? So even though you may have joy and laughter, you don't do so centering on yourself. Centering on someone else you can have those things. Many people work hard for a certain purpose, as an example let's use those who have finally made lots of money. Where does a person go with that money? What can you do with this piece of paper that says you are a millionaire? Can you get joy by yourself just looking at it? That would be insane. Rather, the man with this certificate goes right back to the family, taking the news to the ones he loves most. He confides to his most beloved one, his wife. Then together the couple goes to the grandfather and grandmother, their own father and mother and then all four go together to share their pride with their children. Isn't that true? All want to share together. If their joy is even more overwhelming than that, where do they go? They go to visit the president of that province, and even more than that, if they have more excitement they go as far as the president of the country and even to the world and to God. So if you want to be happy, would you rather be happy with everybody involved or do you just want to be calmly happy by yourself? You want everybody to be in that happiness. When you laugh then do you laugh just centering on yourself, or is it better to laugh to your heart's content centered on everybody in the room? Which would you choose? To be happy on behalf of everyone. When you laugh you cannot laugh forever, just for the length of one breath. As soon as your breath runs out you have to stop laughing. But when you run out of breath, you need somebody to push that air back to you! This is the way you laugh, sometimes you have to examine that. Maybe it never dawned on you before. We always laugh down and then laugh up. We go up and down, "Ha, ha ha". You have to have all four directions though, not only up and down! Laugh in all directions, even circulating too! If you want to dance, would you want to dance with a loved one or some stranger whom you really don't care about, like a beggar in your neighborhood? Where can you find loved ones? In the family where parents, wife, husband and children all dwell in love. Happy is the person who just by their presence, by walking into a room, brings happiness to others. Even with a room full of old people, you could walk in and just by looking at you, they would laugh with you. Even children would feel this way, laughing with a big smile from ear to ear. As soon as you walk into the room they feel very happy to see you. What is a heavenly family? A heavenly family is where you can walk in any time of the day, any season of the year, and they will welcome you and provide you with all the laughter there is all throughout your life. Like the title says, that kind of family is where there is a seed and the root of true love. When you are about to enter into that kind of a family, you know you must prepare yourself thinking, "I must make the atmosphere even more joyful. I should never undermine the atmosphere of the family when I walk-in." Prepare yourself. Even though you may be tired, pretend you really aren't so that you can add more to that family rather than take away from it. How about the grouchy person who would just walk in and say, "I am the center of this family. Where are my sons and daughters? Where is my wife who is supposed to greet me and provide me happiness?" He walks in and just demands, "Where is everybody? I am the center, everybody should please me." Is it possible to do that? Is he welcomed by anyone? No, no one will welcome him. What if he walks in and instead says, "I am born to exist for the sake of my grandfather and grandmother, my father and mother and my own sons and daughters and wife." And what if a wife thinks this same way? Those kind of people would walk into the house with their head down, trying to harmonize and be of service to everybody. When they walk in with their head down obviously very depressed, the grandparents will say, "What happened to you? Did something happen outside?" And he says, "No, actually I meant to buy some gift for you, but on the way I forgot, so I feel so terrible." The grandmother would pay back that kind of attitude many times more than if she had actually received a present. She will want to do even more for him than if he had brought her a gift. The same goes for the wife and children. The wife would try to please her husband and the children, even though their father forgot to bring the gift, would try to please him also. They would still feel they wanted to give something in return. The grandparents, the wife, the children would all bow down to this man. They would lower their heads lower and lower. In the Orient we say "lower your head", which means to feel grateful. His family would say to him, "I feel better than if I had received something. Your love expressed by your feeling like this, is actually better than some material token. I don't need anything because now I know that you have that feeling towards me, so I am just as happy." Then literally, they begin dancing with joy to confirm that love. Is this your typical American family? [No.] But do we know what a typical family should be? [Yes.] Should be or must be? Must be. You know very well. We know very well but why can't we do this? Until now there was no theory in which we could have confidence. Theory is still as close as we come. We can describe an idea or concept and say it will work. We can draw the final conclusion that this is the way each person wants to live, for the sake of others and not for his own sake or asking others to live for him. Not only now but in the past and future we know this will continue to be true. This is a well justified conclusion. No one can say, "No, you are wrong." Do you agree? Answer clearly. [Yes!] So now we already know the prototype, we know the basic unit of heaven is the family. The only requirement after that is the extension of the scale. In other words, the country is nothing but an extension of such a family. And the world is nothing but an extension of that country. The whole world and cosmos is the biggest extension of that family. Nothing is different. When God told Father, "Go to America now and save them," he decided to come whether he was welcomed or not. He did what he was supposed to do. Can America exist eternally while opposing this view? No, America must bow down to him and until that day Father simply has to carry out his work. This is what has been done. Even though a record of persecution exists and the history of Danbury exists, in one day when all Americans burn this up and are elevated to a higher place, they will welcome Reverend Moon. All those things of the past will go out of existence. Unfilial sons and daughters oppose their loving parents who are doing tremendous things for their sake. Because such children don't understand, they do everything their parents don't like, making trouble in all kinds of ways. Sometimes these unfilial sons and daughters repent. All of a sudden it dawns on them that they are wrong so they repent and bow down to the parents. Only in love is this kind of abrupt change possible. By living for the sake of others this phenomenon becomes possible. How did it happen? That is simply the way the power of the universe moves. It is universal fate. The power of the universe will move in the same direction as this kind of love. When an opposing kind of love exists, then the power of the universe will repel it and try to chase it out. When the universe finds true love, it wants to embrace it. God created the universe to operate in this way. Universal fate will protect the place where there are unifying, harmonizing and equalizing elements centering on true love. You have a plus mind and plus body. How can you equalize, unify and harmonize these two? If you can create a unified position, immediately you will be protected by universal power. No one knows this. This is a law that works forever. How can you make unity on this earth? By centering on true love. All the cells of a body are directed toward one goal, the core of that body. That is what makes unification possible. That individual will unite and come into harmony and equality, centered on an even higher purpose in love. Then all the things of the universe will gather around him. Universal fate will surround and protect him with a true love atmosphere. That person doesn't have to do anything more. His fame is there; his money is there. Therefore don't try to chase money. Money has to chase you. That is Father's way! Actually, until now Father has created no business which has been profitable. Looking back, Father thinks he should have perished a long time ago, but somehow his work continues to become bigger and bigger. Up front you lose money but in back there is more and more support coming to that business. The fate of the universe, universal power is adding to it. Every power of the universe wants to tag along behind Father. So when Father moves thus, all things move along with him. So even though Father seems to be losing he wants to invest even more. That is the only way he knows how to live. What is the difference between Father's way and ours? Father knows the fate of the heavenly power whereas we don't. Those who don't know take for themselves, even deceiving the church to bring money to themselves rather than trying to give it to other people. They come to a point saying, "Everything is fine, I'm not opposing it, but I must have money from you before I can be happy." This is the traditional American attitude. It is very dangerous. Because of their past history America has declined slowly, but when a certain point is reached this country will plummet down, straight down like going over a cliff. That attitude is a sure way of making a country decline. "Me-ism" is really the death of America. Who is a wise person and who is a foolish person? What is the difference between the two? One way we can distinguish the two is that the foolish person sees only right in front of him. Today, this moment, is all he sees. A wise man sees a hundred years, even a thousand years ahead. Obviously there are two very different ways of thinking, America's way and Reverend Moon's way. Which way is wise and which is foolish? Since you are American you are probably thinking, "I am wise, I must be on the side of the wise country." The foolish person is now trying to follow the wise person, but he does not follow closely. He wants to follow a few steps behind, treading in the same footprints so he doesn't have to pioneer a new step. There is no way universal power will come to this person's side. If he continues like this, later he will become a charge of the public or he will die. He will become a beggar or he will die. He will become a slave or simply die and fade away. In retrospect we see this is the way history has advanced, always repeating this same pattern. What Father has been teaching is not how to become a great servant or great master but how to be good sons and daughters. This is the principle of the Unification Church; how to become great sons and daughters. How revolutionary, how reforming this is. This is like a revolution allowing grammar school kids to go through a college course. [Father corrects Col. Han's translation saying, "Ph.D. course, not college course."] The interpreter's version is different from mine. The last time Father said something about the different levels I left out the sons and daughters level and other things. It is difficult. We must be able to understand Father's original words. Why does universal power move in the way Father described? It is like water and soil moving to the seed and the root. When the seed and the root of true love appear then every aspect of the energy of the universal power goes there. Sunshine, water, air, all want to go there trying to foster that seed to grow big enough to fill the universe. That's how the seeds are. So the seed represents love: love of the trunk, love of the branch, leaves and flower. Everything is represented in the seed. All seeds are composed of two elements. Male and female elements, left and right in a circular fashion. [Father draws a picture on the board.] The seed may be small, but everything is in it. All it needs is nutrition and care and then all we have to do is wait for it to develop. Do you follow? This small seed represents the entire universe. It is right that it does and it is no exaggeration, because the seed represents man and woman, male and female elements. Plus and minus of all creation are found here. The two became one and represent God. Here is an Oriental man and a Western woman and they have to become one husk. It's not Western thought, neither is it Eastern thought to do that. There is only one way they can come into contact face to face. What actually does that? Within the husk of love everything, every body unifies. Now ask yourself a question -- in your own family, is there unmistakably the seed of true love? Your answer has to be either yes or no. If you have that, it means your family has a grandfather and grandmother whom you can eternally cherish. You will never deny that love. You know for the rest of your life and even longer you will live for their sake. True Parents planted that seed making it a true center root growing up to make a center trunk. From the center trunk there will grow many branches. It is a straight line, extending in beauty. Growing up, that will automatically blossom into a flower. The flower has the same purpose: to become a seed. There are many branches. The seed is the center of the thought or idea of the tree. From its perspective, the trunk and all branches are equal. That is the ideal tree. Now we know the concept. We must know this tradition and purpose of the branch itself. First, we have to recognize where the center root is. My grandfather and grandmother are the true center of this tradition. My father and mother, my parents are the next part, the next connection to the center. And me and my spouse will become the next center and on and on. The center is straight and exactly vertical. We should immediately be aware of that in a family. We have a center root, center branch and center bud. All these things are connected. Which would you rather be, a center root or center bud? Yes, we want to be a center root, don't we? Everyone's desire is the same. The center can only become the center through the vertical. [Father draws picture on the board.] This vertical line is like a shaft. Like a shaft, it needs a receptacle on both ends on which it can revolve. The receptacle on the bottom is the family, something which receives the vertical shaft. And the receptacle above is God. It is the palace of God's kingdom. It is connected to True Parent's family. This vertical core always retains the same value. It is not smaller if the surroundings are smaller. It does not change and become larger. No, this value always stays the same, through small and large as well. We can see cell reproduction. For example, if you take one cell from your body, that one cell can exactly represent your entire body. A cell from this muscle here carries a pattern for the eyes. Not only the cell from the eye has the eyes pattern in it, but a cell from the arm has it as well. Then doesn't it stand to reason that the cell which is connected to true love has a position equal to true love? True love is the seed and the fruit as well. It is the reason and the result. It exists from the beginning to the end. Why were women born? Did they say, "Well I chose not to become a man, so I became a woman"? Is that a good explanation? That doesn't stand to reason. If so, if that was how you became women, you should do away with the function of women, and take away that sexual organ which is valuable only for the sake of men. Does that organ exist for the sake of a woman herself, or for the sake of man, or for children? It exists for everybody's sake except for hers, right? That means she is not born a woman just because she didn't choose to be a man. Concept always exists before the actual being does. The fact that women came to exist shows that God had man already in mind beforehand. Can we ever assert that women came to exist for their own sake only? That is an emphatic no. They came into being for the sake of man and children. Women have something which a man loves most and children love most also. What is it that a woman has that a man loves the most? Is it her pretty face? It is where the man can rest peacefully the rest of his life; the palace of love kingdom. Only women have it, not men. And also for children, their kingdom is mother. The kingdom of mother is only for children. Should we feed that prince with the mother's own milk or cow's milk? [Mother's milk.] How about American women? American women don't like that. It is because they don't know true love or the reason they are born. We know true love only exists when we try to love other people, when we invest not trying to draw things to ourselves. We know that filial sons and daughters and the patriots and saints all have one thing in common. They live only to give and never to receive. So filial sons are the ones who give for the sake of all the other members of the family. The one who gives the most becomes the center of the family. So all the saints of history, Jesus, Buddha, Confucius and the like traveled around the world and all people of every generation want to worship them. Why? Because they are the ones who gave the most. They invested total love into their effort so everyone is indebted to them. People want to pay it back and that is why they cluster around the saints, even in the spirit world. They are trying to pay them back. So American women are born for what purpose? For their men and children. American women say, "Wrong, wrong! Reverend Moon's teaching is wrong!" They will make demonstrations saying Reverend Moon is wrong. They make too much noise! They always stir up the whole countryside. But later they will calm down and they will become peaceful! forever. They will have no voice then, so only Reverend Moon will be making a loud noise and stirring up the country. Father is the one who is speaking the most and in the biggest voice now. Everybody else has calmed down. When Father first came to America he had Danbury in his mind. At that time he was already thinking that he had to be prepared to go to a place like that or even worse in order to save this country. Going through the hell of Danbury, Father came to the position where he is to be welcomed. It couldn't happen before and Father knew that. This power of living for the sake of other people has the power of the atomic bomb. It is not just a small power. It is huge and it lasts forever. It radiates expanding power forever. If one thing is touched by that it automatically melts down. Immediately it disappears. The only reality that remains is that of true love. So Reverend Moon, whom no one understood, has always lived for the same purpose of true love. His own household and family in the remote place of Korea opposed him. Korea itself opposed him. Asia, the whole world and even the spiritual world all opposed Reverend Moon for what he has done. But Father never fell down in any part of his work, neither in his family nor in any part of the whole universe. We know the Soviet Union opposed Father throughout their history of Communism. Father really worked hard to help them gain their freedom. America too opposed Father for so many years. Now both countries find themselves being helped by Reverend Moon. Without Reverend Moon's help, whether it be spiritual or material, they simply would not be able to continue. There is some element Father has that makes these things possible. Once we know what it is, we really should go all out to propagate it. If we are beaten first, then everything comes our way and we will recover. That is the classic strategy of God. First be beaten, then recover. How can Father win such difficult situations on every level? What is the secret? There is only one simple point. Live for the sake of others centering on true love. Period. It's simple. When Father came to America, he did not come for his own sake. Father came here for the sake of America and the sake of the world. Father knew the victory would be his. And it was his even before he won the victory. Not only in Father's own generation, but this conclusion was already established thousands of years ago when the creation was first begun. He knew and the universe knew Father would be a victor. Universal fate is following behind me. Who would dare strike Father in doing that? No one. For by doing that, that person would have to pay compensation ten times or one hundred times more than the wrong they did to Father. The Principle is so clear that Father knew all these things before he even started. Do we know clearly? So the fact is that woman is never born for her own sake, but for the sake of everyone else. After finding a truly loving husband who truly loves her, then a woman can say, "God, now I perfected my self." Not before. You cannot go to Harvard and win a Ph.D. and become a world famous scholar and tell God you have become a perfect person. No, no. Only after occupying the perfect love of her husband towards her can she say, "Now I am perfect." In all mankind, Father doesn't care how big the numbers are, or whether they are alive or in the spiritual world, has any one woman become perfect without knowing this principle? [No.] That means there was never a woman who has been perfect. By the same token, what about men? Same thing. Heaven is where the perfect man and perfect woman go to dwell together in love. Since there has been no such a person it means that heaven is empty. There is nobody living in heaven. That is why the savior comes to this earth. The savior comes not to save this decaying, putrid body of the fallen generation. No, that is not the purpose he came for. He comes here to restore and protect the true love. Why did Jesus have to resurrect and come again? He saw that he could take the Holy Spirit along with him to foster Christianity and to prepare for the next stage to come. This is how he came. He came as a bride to the groom. Women represent the earth and men represent heaven. But when he comes again, he represents the groom. It stands very much to reason that the messiah comes after World War II, at the time the world was unified through the foundation of Christianity. Then he came in search of one perfect woman. And AMERICA is the place which God prepared the most, where He gave all the blessing and where all the Abels of the world have assembled together. The messiah must come to America. After the messiah comes here, he teaches the conceptual system of the new world. The whole world must follow America's wake in search of true love. Father teaches all levels of knowledge to reach that. Father teaches how to make the family, the tribe, the nation and how they can all connect on the world level and attain God. Only Father can teach how to go through every level and finally make the unified world. From there heaven on earth begins. What we see in our church is international marriage. The blessed family is what we call international marriage. Isn't that true? That's the contents isn't it? The question is, have our families fulfilled that purpose of giving blessing? We have been taught by Father, for the first time in history, that the family we see in America should be different, not a little, but 180 degrees different from the way they are now. There are no two gates to go through, only one gate. We have to find the one historical gate, the one that exists not just for this year or this generation alone. A patriot is one who truly loves his country and works unselfishly for its benefit. A filial son or daughter is the one who truly loves his parents and the rest of the family. The saints or holy men and these others all have the same elements though to a different degree. They strive to meet God as a victor. No one else had that idea, it was not there. First we need to have the idea before we can achieve that goal. Satan will try to stop people every step of the way. He will try to convince us that whoever is the strongest will win and that love is something we should forget about. He says, "Forget about other people. Look at history, who prospered by living for others? Only those who worked for themselves were prosperous and successful." Then the dumb ones will agree with him. What we're looking for is the T. family, the T. children, T. tribe, T. nation, T. world and T. universe, the T. of everything, all of it true. Even God has to become a true God. In a way the God that has been working up until now is not the true God. He is a temporary God. He has not been able to enjoy anything, He has been only sad. This is not true God's position. No religious leader has ever understood this. No one knew this. Only through our knowing clearly and fully this basic truth can we understand why Father is always saying the final goal is to liberate God. We are the only ones who can understand this idea of liberating God. Until now God has not seen a true anything. He is waiting and waiting for this to appear. God has spent such a tedious time, waiting all through a long history following behind humankind. This has been God's position. He has not been in the center. Why? Satan has been occupying the center. The front line has been Satan's position. But now the top is going down, the bottom is coming up and everything is moving in reverse. After that things will move into their original position. From there a true God can exist. You are working to liberate God. If I extend my hand to touch something, God wants it to be a heavenly thing. This world has not yet reached that kind of purpose or situation. How can we do that? We need a re-creation education system, otherwise the original world cannot reappear. Do you understand? That is the clear viewpoint of the Divine Principle. It is God's clear perspective and clear purpose. This sister sitting here is the type who, when her husband tries to love her for her best benefit, she refuses and says, "Leave me alone." It's alright when you are growing up. While you are growing up that is perfectly justified. You have to preserve yourself. But once you grow up then you have to change totally. You have to change 180 degrees. Now you have to become more bold and search for man's love. What is your guess? What Father told us this morning, just even that much, if you trace the root of anybody who lives now or exists now in the spirit world, do you think you would find anyone who is an exception to the way Father has described we should live? [No.] You say "no", but it means 'know.' You know now. We can make a 'know' world into a 'new' world. You came into the Unification Church and now you know everything. It's clear. There is no dark place now. This is a confident lifestyle. People outside the Unification Church are making an overly complicated sound everywhere. You can teach them God's purpose and ideal of creation. After that they can live with confidence their whole life, going in a straight line, centered on love. Our love line should be short and straight, the shortest line. The most straight line is the shortest. Once you know this, is there any enticement or seduction to men or to women among Unification Blessed couples? It is impossible. Even if somebody tries to tempt you, if you know this truth, you would rather die than follow them. Do you really want to have that kind of true husband, not like the average, ordinary kind of American husband we find? And also, you men, do you want to find that kind of wife who will never change? The topic of today's sermon is the blessed couple which has the seed and the root. Even one seed of a tree represents the whole universe, let alone the blessed families of the Unification Church who also have the seed and root of all families around the world, historically. My seed is my father and mother, and the seed of my father is his mother and father and so on back through history to the original seed. Of course this comes from the duality of God, God's masculinity and femininity within Himself. Connected to this vertical line, all God's family is represented. From there appears that line of tradition, the same form, same prototype, same standard. What is it? True love, the historical true love tradition. Until now it never appeared on the earth. Someone somewhere has to bring about that kind of reality, otherwise there is no hope and no happiness. Now we know. My grandfather is the seed of my own parents. Man becomes a tree with branches and many leaves. There is only one center in the trunk, absolutely and forever only one. True love's vertical line is one, forever. It is unchangeable. It is impossible to change this root which is the parent's root. Bamboo is a good example. It grows in sections. It has significance, for it is the one tree that grows straight and in a short time. Every year it becomes hard and soft again, then hard, expanding, that is how it grows. So our family has a seed, doesn't it? Our family has a root too, the root is the grandfather and grandmother. Sons and daughters must be married before they can have a seed. So should we or shouldn't we get married? Until now homosexuals and lesbians had nothing to go by, they thought they could follow any lifestyle. But after hearing this truth, they would not only be amazed, but they would have a heart attack! They would realize that they have to change. Even so, they would not be able to walk straight because their shock would be so great and their separation would become so painful. But even if they have to crawl, they should, to follow Reverend Moon's teaching back to their original state. There is no other way for them to have eternal life. How much money should we be willing to pay for this knowledge that will bring us liberation and ultimately will bring the liberation of God? Literally the entire land mass of America is not enough. If someone had that entire ownership, could he exchange that for what Father teaches us? If someone signed over the ownership of the entire nation of America, would Americans complain? Don't you think that would be a good deal for them? [Yes.] Maybe the Moonies think this is a good deal, but other Americans may think it is a phony deal. Now Americans are experiencing the rest of the world complaining, "Yankee go home. You spread AIDS disease and plant bad seeds all over the world." So "Yankee go home" has become a just and righteous saying. "Reverend Moon go home" is what they shout in America, but they need his help. This country is hell, a land without hope. Father is making it a hopeful place, turning it around 180 degrees. Now happiness can appear and blessings can come, connecting it to heaven. Everything has started here. Satan has occupied this land of freedom, taking everything, and now people live in fear. Satan is against Reverend Moon and has tried everything to chase him out. When Father went to Danbury all Satan's world shouted, "Mansei!" But Reverend Moon didn't die. Father made a reversal in Danbury. The complete opposite phenomena has now come to exist. Father truly loved the enemy, didn't he? To begin with, Father inspired the founding of The Washington Times, ACC, ICC, and many important organizations while he was in Danbury. The enemy put him into jail and then he invested utmost love, spending hundreds of millions of dollars putting everything he owns into that investment. Without those organizations Americans cannot find the way. This is where we are now. We know the reality behind history, not only of this century, but of the entire providence. Even though nobody knows what is being generated in America and why America is about to prosper in the future, you know why. We know what Reverend Moon did. No matter how strong the opposition may be, when we know this we should stand up in defense of Father, in defense of heaven and in defense of everything which represents true love. Then nothing can stop our advance. [Father draws on the board, commenting on his drawing, "You want to see a perfect circle don't you. If it's a little off you don't want to see it. Now, it's perfect."] Why is the family the center of all things? This is like a compass. If you measure the distance in each of these four sections, each is the same distance. The stable place is where the lines intersect in the center. This becomes the center of the entire environment. The upper arc and lower arc must join, this is what the family is. The right side arc and left side arc join and the result is the perfect sphere. That position is where everything can be connected. This point is the present, in back of it is the past, and facing forward there is the future. The father and mother represent the model, grandparents the past and children the future. All three are connected into one. The same relationships exist in each direction. In each direction of east, north, west and south everything is included in that great sphere. We see the number seven and twelve represented here. The center or core represents all four directions and also the past, present and future; that is the number seven. The three objective purpose of the Divine Principle, which is then further divided into twelve, comes from this very point. The western world is the same model as the East. All men in the future, their racial problems, their border problems, are all solved by Principle. The family is the nucleus which includes the grandparents who represent all the past. So all the past, including spirit world, is in my family. The foundation is the family. In the eastern world and western world, family has the same meaning. In the South, the black man's world, family has the same meaning. Anything and everything which tries to stop this advance is Satan, is the enemy. Racial discrimination is the real enemy of mankind because it stops people from going to heaven. This is what evil has been doing. It doesn't tell you why but keeps you from going in the right direction. Evil has been stopping the movement of history. The original idea of God and family is this: the grandfather represents God and parents represent the family. Do you understand? Your grandpa represents all that is coming from God. Your parents represent this present world, like a prince and princess of the whole world. The one gathering place, the place which is the center, is the family. How proud you should be knowing this concept! In the future everyone will welcome this family of true value. Do you like that? Do you understand clearly the historic background of the family? This is God's ideal family system. This is why we have to respect our family. God is represented by the grandpa, so all people should gather in front of Grandpa and bow down to him. Parents should tell the children, "You have to inherit my tradition." The core place is the parents, surrounding them is the grandparents. In the future you have to make children like me. The universe will move to protect that grandpa and his family all over the world. The children have to inherit the teaching so they can transmit the same purpose from one generation to the next. Now you can understand a blessed couple's purpose. You have to follow the one vertical way. It is recognized everywhere as the right way. No one can deny it. You will be welcomed everywhere: past, present, future, heaven, earth and everywhere. The family is the place which possesses this precious point. Do you understand clearly? God automatically visits that family because grandparents are there, parents are there and children are there. Every king wants to meet that kind of family. All people want to meet that family. All humankind wants to reach that point. That is the savior's concept. That is Jesus Christ's and the second advent's connection to one purpose. One man, one purpose, one family. God wants to appoint one ideal family system. Otherwise God cannot create an ideal world. After the Blessing, how much pride do you feel for this concept? Compare this point to your family system. They are all wrong. From now you clear up the satanic world's atmosphere. From now you have to choose this way, this is the type of family you should strive to create. Those who say, "Father this is still not clear to me," raise your hand. If you live thinking, 'I want to do that way, my nose needs that kind of family, hearing, talking, living, that kind of family for my whole lifetime," then where will you go when you die, to hell or to heaven? You create heaven by living the ideal for the sake of others. Father gave us a perfect concept. Look at the rest of the world. We see there are three different types of people. One is old people, those who stand in the grandparent's position. The second is people your mother's and father's age, who represent the whole world. Third is small children who represent the future. The family in which we are accustomed to treating these three levels the right way, loving them the right way, is a perfect textbook. Simply extend that to the rest of mankind with whom you come into contact. When you perfectly live like this and go to spirit world, you will surpass any generations before, any amount of families who lived before you, because they all work on the same principle. There we see equality. We find harmony for which everyone is craving. And also there is unification. In taking action, there is freedom. Freedom means that everyone is welcome. All things are welcome whether from the past, present or future; that is the real meaning of freedom. Americans don't know that concept. Do you understand? Any citizen in the world who shouts out for freedom here cannot accomplish that without first establishing that kind of family. That is where freedom begins. The most dignified grandfather, who represents God literally, will even allow his grandson or granddaughter to climb on his head, which is the symbol of his king position. But he lowers his head so they can climb up more easily. If a grandson says, "Yes I am going to occupy my grandfather and grandmother and put them under my influence. I will challenge him", no things will support him. Today we see all these old people out in the street, in the resorts, wherever, just staring out into space. They have nothing to hope for, they just die miserably like this. This is today's situation. After knowing what Father has taught this morning, is their being separated from their grandchildren and being alone the result of freedom? Is that how they want to live for the rest of their lives? Should they have to phone their sons and daughters before they visit their home? Wouldn't that be the same as expecting a baby to make a reservation to drink her mother's milk? It's exactly the same. If this is a reality, somebody must have worked hard to bring it about and feel very happy that it exists. That is Satan. On every level he made those barriers. Americans still want to be proud of themselves, but God and universal power cannot endorse the pride that is based on Satan. Because of that since World War II America has been headed down in a steady decline. Not just a decline but tumbling down. American people say, "Don't touch us Reverend Moon." But Father has been applying the brake on this falling down country in order to save it. We can never deny the fact that this truth will not just survive, but it is about to explode and thrive. That means it must be right. Otherwise this way could not survive and thrive while the rest of the world is going down. So with this utmost confidence we know our future is bright and hopeful and the only way the outside world can go is down in decline, even faster. Is this the right conclusion or wrong? It is right in every way. If we fail to see this reality while we're alive on the earth, our eyes and nose and mouth will blame us and say, "How did you do so wrong that my eyes could not see that one day of glory on earth?" The only way they can justify themselves is that the eyes will blame the ears and say, "It is because you failed to listen correctly." And the ears will say, "No, no. I listened right, but you saw it in a different way." All the members of your individual body will fight and that is hell. Are we going to go to hell or heaven? We have the potential to live in heaven already, but one thing we must do is liberate this heaven from Satan. Satan occupies every level, individual, family, tribe, nation, world, including cultural background in every variety. We have to create a straight line. Liberate the individual level, after that tear down the wall and liberate the family level. Then liberate the tribal level, nation level, world level, spirit world. How can we tear down these walls? By making this highway course. Do you understand "highway?" Every time you're driving down the highway think about that. Every time you look at the Hudson River, it is big like a highway. It is a mainstream filled with much water. America has good highways, but in the world of the American mind there are many barriers. So those who understand the meaning of the family, the fact that we have the root and the seed, and the fact that this is the most precious purpose in God's creating us, and when we truly uphold this standard and bring our families to this actual pattern, those who can say "Father, I will make. . . " [Father interrupts translation.] You should be able to say, "Our family is like a seed." We are sowing that kind of new seed, so that in the future a good fruit will be harvested. You have that kind of seed don't you? You have to take out the old seed and replant the new one. You go back to your hometown and sow everywhere and next springtime you can see the green fields full in all four corners. How wonderful are they! Think, 'I will plant real seeds and through that extend my realm. I want to exactly follow Father's teaching." [Yes!] Those who pledge that in this moment raise both hands! God bless you!
