THE WAY TO WORLD PEACE, REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

Federation for World Peace Founder's Address, Little Angels Performing Arts Center, Seoul, Korea, August 28, 1991

Today, upon the founding of The Federation for World Peace, I am very honored and pleased by the presence of such distinguished leaders of the world. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for coming and for making this ceremony most memorable.
From the beginning of human history until the present time there has never been a period when people did not long for lasting peace, nor has there ever been a person who did not wish deeply in his heart for true peace during his lifetime.
Yet, contrary to the desires of all people and in spite of our great achievements, humanity has yet to secure world peace. Quite the contrary has been the case. At no time has human life been free of war and bloodshed. Why is this so?
In contemporary history mankind has experienced two world wars. In 1914 with the assassination of an Austrian archduke at Sarajevo in Bosinia, the first world war was ignited. Eventually this war engulfed the whole of Europe. Sixteen nations were involved. In the end at least 30 million men and women were either dead or wounded. It was Europe's worst tragedy.
The inhumanity and severity of this war caused world leaders to acutely realize the need to strive for world peace at all costs, to end all wars. On the wave of this genuine desire for peace and longing for the improvement of human welfare President Woodrow Wilson of the United States spearheaded the founding of the League of Nations.
Although the League handled over forty political disputes with varying degrees of success, its inability to resolve major crises between the powers eventually determined its failure. Sadly, President Wilson could not even bring the United States to participate in the League, and his noble dream for peace failed. The world's ardent desire to put an end to war remained unfulfilled.
Less than 20 years after the ending of World War l mankind faced another cataclysmic war. At that time, World War ll engulfed not only the Atlantic Region but the Pacific Region as well. Many more millions of human beings were the victims of war, suffering injury, destruction, and death. Only after the atomic bomb was used against Japan did this most tragic world war come to an end.
Once more world leaders were alarmed and anguished. They sought to find a means to prevent the world from again becoming a living hell by war. The fruit of their efforts was the United nations which was inaugurated on April 25th, 1945 in San Francisco. The history of the United Nations has thus spanned 46 years until this time.
Yet, has the United Nations been able to alleviate the tragedy of war? Is humanity living in peace? Unfortunately the answer to these questions is no. Even after the founding of the United Nations, wars have continued to break out. There have been more than 60 wars and skirmishes since the end of World War ll, including the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. The tragic cycle of human destruction continues as before.
Why is peace so difficult to achieve? Today we are gathered together for the inauguration of The Federation for World Peace. Before we proceed, however, bearing in mind the previous record of mankind, we must think deeply and analyze accurately as to why peace is so difficult to achieve. Without knowing the causes of war, without a deep analysis of the past, we may very well repeat past history, and the noble goals and ambitions of this Federation would remain unachieved.
Ladies and gentlemen, up until this time people have longed for and anguished for peace without having a true philosophy of peace. Without this philosophy of peace, there can be no true methodology for achieving peace.
The fundamental reason that peace has constantly eluded mankind is rather simple yet profound. Human beings have lost their relationship with God. Because of that, they have lost the ability to attain true peace. Since that time, men and women have repeatedly tried to restore peace, but have met with failure after failure because they have been trying without God. This is the fundamental error mankind has been committing. This is the real reason why we have not yet achieved peace.
God is the source of true love and true peace. Yet in the world which God created, the inhabitants are pitted against each other in war and mutual killing. This is completely paradoxical.
God created man in his own image. Furthermore, God created man as a holy temple in which He, God Himself, wanted to dwell. Suppose each individual were a perfected temple of God so that each individual was living every minute of every day with the spirit of God dwelling within him. In this situation could man war against man?
In the original world of God's creation men struggling against men would be something like your right hand fighting against your left hand, or even more, your own hand pulling out your own eyes. In other words, in the ideal world of creation it would be impossible to have war among men. In this world, people would only be capable of loving each other and harmonizing together. The only challenge would be in competing in ways to glorify our Creator better and further.
No matter how large the population of this world, it should still function like one person's body. In one human body, as you know, there are many billions of cells. Although each cell has its own individuality, among them there is not contradiction. Likewise, each individual in the original world would become a temple of God, and God would dwell in the hearts of everyone. How can God, dwelling in each person, engender a contradiction among men? It would be impossible.
In such a world there would be no conflict, no misunderstanding. There would only be harmony, cooperation and mutual assistance. There would be unity among people in the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. This is truly the world of peace which man seeks. This world would reflect the nature of God, whose primary characteristic is unselfishness unselfish love, unselfish peace. In religious terms this is called the Kingdom of God on Earth. The basis of such a world is the worldview of Godism, or the headwing ideology.
If God is Almighty, He is certainly capable of realizing a world of peace and happiness for all humanity. If this type of world could not be achieved, then we would be forced to conclude that there is no God.
At the dawn of human history, when God began to realize His world, something tragic happened. Our first human ancestors lost God.
God created one man and one woman to be the beginning point of humankind. In religious terms they are called Adam and Eve. Tragically, at the outset of human history they committed sin, not allowing God to dwell in them, and they were expelled by God from His Kingdom. At that very moment, with their departure from God, man and woman failed to achieve their potential, and were unable to become temples of God. At that moment peace was lost. Instead they became the temples of Satan, whose characteristic is selfishness.
Since this occurred at the very start of human history with the very first human ancestors, all their descendants up to the present generations have grappled with the arduous task of finding God. Without the knowledge of God as our True Father and the understanding that all humankind are true brothers and sisters, men have become each other's enemies. Originally if you were to hurt someone else, it would be the same as hurting yourself, since the same God is dwelling in both. But humankind has become spiritually darkened. Under the present tragic conditions when one kills his own brother he feels no pain.
Furthermore, to make things worse, since man has become the dwelling place of Satan, he is aware only of himself and not the whole. The natural result if the manifestation of selfishness from the level of the individual to the family, society nation and world.
With this limited outlook, when someone's own interest or profit is violated, he is ready to fight. War is thus inevitable. This is the real reason for war on every level. Then what does God intend to do with this fallen world? God is living and God is Almighty. As I said, God is a God of love.
God, our Creator, has a Will. That Will is to restore this world into the world of true peace. In other words, He will restore the world of His original nature and ideal by re-creating the present world.
For this reason, there is hope for true peace in the future. God's Will is to eradicate selfishness from each individual, then transform or re-create that person into His own temple, and make all men holy.
For this reason true world peace between nations begins not at the national level, but with the perfection of the individual. Each person is perfected by becoming the temple of God. This is where world peace is germinated. Each one of you, ladies and gentlemen, is the true beginning point of world peace.
Since the Fall of Man, there has been a constant war going on within each of us. It is an inevitable consequence of the Fall of Man that there is continuous struggle and conflict going on within ourselves between mind and body, and between the desire for good and the desire for evil.
Originally mind and body were to be one.. The mind and body were to be one. The human mind represents God's mind. The human body is to be a container to accommodate the mind, or a dwelling place for the mind. Separation came between these two when the Fall of Man occurred.
The Fall of Man resulted in the body coming under the domain of Satan or selfishness. Thus tragically the human body has become the servant of Satan.
On the other hand, the human conscience is the agent of God in the individual person. One's conscience does not exist for the benefit of oneself. The conscience is planted by God for the sake of righteousness. Thus, the conscience always strives toward goodness and unselfishness. Yet the body rebels against this conscience. The body only seeks after comforts and tends to act selfishly, going after carnal desires. The conscience in turn is trying to chastise the body and direct it toward the mind. This is why there is always inevitable conflict and struggle within one's self.
This is the reason why the traditional religions of the world unanimously teach the principle of chastisement of the body through fasting, prayer, and other disciplines doing things the body does not want to do. Religion is the training ground where the desire of the body is suppressed, thus bringing the body to the will of the mind. For this reason religion has been the instrument of God to bring men back into the original ideal.
However, no one is capable of dominating his body without uniting with God within himself. The only power that enables the mind to have dominion over the body is that generated by the unity of the mind with God's truth and love. Mind is subject and body is object. God's love and truth have the power to bring them together into one harmonious person. This is what religion defines as a man of perfection or a holy man.
God-centered men and women in perfection are called men and women of goodness. These good men and women may receive God's blessing of marriage and be united into a couple of husband and wife. This will be the beginning of one ideal family of men on the face of the earth. This model family is what God wanted to have as a building block of the society, nation and world.
There is an old saying in the Orient that "once peace is dwelling in the family, everything goes right." A happy and harmonious family is a family of peace and the foundation of the heavenly kingdom.
The dynamic of the family is true love. You must love God first, then love your husband or wife and your children with truly pure and sacrificial love. This is the manifestation of true love. God created love as the supreme force in the universe. He has created nothing greater in this universe. True love is supreme.
True love, of course, originates from God. God has invested everything, every ounce of His energy, for the creation of all things and mankind. Love is the only thing that when invested fully, returns fully. When you invest true love, no attrition occurs. It will multiply and prosper. Investing 10 per cent of true love will yield or return 120 per cent. One might think that those who practice true love would become poor and miserable, yet the end result is to the contrary. By practicing true love you will acquire prosperity and eternal life.
This kind of family of true love becomes the foundation for creating a society, nation and world. That society, nation and world shall be true-love centered, and shall become ideal and peaceful. There you will find harmony instead of contradiction. You will find understanding instead of misunderstanding. You will find unity instead of division. You will find unselfishness instead of selfishness. This is the society, nation and world where sacrifices and good service become the dominant virtues. The realization of the ideal of God is the way to achieve the ideal of true peace in the world.
When the Bible says that God sought to create human beings in "His own image," this means that the invisible God wanted to manifest Himself into a visible form. In other words, men and women would have become the personifications of God.
If the first man and woman had realized the ideal of God they would have become the first visible form of God and created the first family of man. Then God-centered children and grandchildren would have formed an ideal society, nation and world. In this case the invisible God would become the vertical True Parents of man centering upon true love, and the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, would have become the horizontal True Parents of mankind centering upon that same true love. Centered upon these True Parents of man, humanity would have become one family eternally fulfilling true brotherhood.
however, the fall of Adam and Eve meant that humanity lost True Parents. That day we became orphans. Brothers turned into enemies. As a result, nations came to develop antagonistic relationships rather than friendly ones. Accusations abound on every level
In the final fulfillment of human history, therefore, God's work of restoration is the restoration of True Parents first, liberating humanity from its orphan status. Today this is the central dispensational work of God to bestow True Parents upon mankind, to create the original family of man centering on God and true love.
Ladies and gentlemen, today's creation of the Federation for World Peace must be different from that of the League of Nations and the United Nations. Most important is that we must found this organization upon the true ideal and philosophy of lasting peace as well as the ideal of True Parents. In the final analysis, peace in God and with God is the newest level of awakening. This is therefore a refreshing new beginning toward the attainment of peace. The exclusion of God from human efforts for peace is the core reason for their failure. Therefore we shall make God the center of this movement and the dynamics of this movement will be true love.
For men and women who are fervently longing for world peace, today's gathering is a historical gathering. There are many presidents and former presidents here today, as well as prominent religious leaders and leaders from every walk of life. This is truly a rare and extraordinary assembly. Furthermore, there are leaders from the East bloc and the West bloc. Until recently, those leaders were mired in the Cold War and locked in a chilling confrontation. In this auditorium however there is no East no West. Everyone is gathered together in one spirit of cooperation and reconciliation.
On November 9, 1989 the Berlin Wall finally came tumbling down. Ever since that event we have been living in a different world. The world is moving quickly toward reformation, change, mutual understanding and friendship. Everyone today feels acutely that the mood of the world is opening up to the blossoming opportunity of peace.
If you agree that the principles I have expounded are the fundamental criteria for peace, then true peace is reachable and achievable. The industrialized North must reach out to help liberate the South from pervasive impoverishment. The developed nations must reach out with a helping hand toward the developing countries and the new democracies. Each nation's attitude must be changed from a selfish one to an unselfish one. That in itself is a revolution. Nations can do this when leaders see from the position of parents. The most unselfish and sacrificial love of all is the love of parents. From that perspective, one can see that all nations are brother and sister nations. Then a fresh new vision emerges and new opportunities will open up in front of us.
It has already been announced that in September North Korea and South Korea together will become member nations of the United Nations. This is another significant positive development toward the achievement of world peace. Then the number of member nations of the UN will reach 163 countries. What should be the priority of those 163 countries in the days to come?
The time of colonialism is over, where the powerful nations exploited the weakest ones. The law of the jungle and Herbert Spencer's "survival of the fittest" do not apply in our world. The age of the superpower arms race that drove the world and humanity into fear and uncertainty has also passed; humanity ought to be liberated from the devastating threat of nuclear arms. What time is it in God's timetable? This is the time that the Holy Scriptures refer to as that of "beating our swords into plowshares."
This is the time for developing mutual trust based on a high moral standard. It is a time when all the member nations of the United Nations with a relationship of mutual respect and love should jointly declare one final war against our common enemies the scourges of hunger, ignorance, disease and crime.
This is in God's plan. From this time on, the definition of "my country" will expand. Although everyone has their home country where their family lives, in a larger sense, the world now becomes "my country" because it is where God my Father and my brothers and sisters all the people of the world live.
From this point-of-view, advanced nations should seek to share high technology with the developing nations and new democracies. To do otherwise would be a moral crime. Things which are good and beneficial must be shared among all nations. When a new discovery is made, it should benefit all nations. If something is good for humanity and the world we must fulfill it transcendent of national boundaries. For a long time, I have been fighting for equal opportunity in the use of high technology by all developing nations.
Ladies and gentlemen, your coming to this place is not an accident. Nothing happens by accident. I feel you are ordained to be here. You are chosen by God as champions of peace.
Within our lifetime we shall commemorate the year 2000. That year will be history's new turning point. A new era is unfolding. With the cooperation of God and man together the twenty-first century will be a century of peace. In order to make that happen we shall work tirelessly together for the next nine years. If we do, we shall be able to eliminate all obstacles that might hinder the attainment of peace.
The twenty-first century shall be a righteous century. In the twenty-first century wealth will not be the dominating factor. Instead the human spirit and human soul shall be dominant. The twenty-first century shall be the era of unity between God and man. It shall be the era where a new awakening will come to every man a realization that he shall benefit himself more when he genuinely lives for the sake of others. In the twenty-first century selfishness will decline. Life, honor, and glory based on unselfishness shall be triumphant. These are the characteristics of the coming twenty-first century.
The era for peace is approaching. Even the opportunity for the Kingdom of Heaven on earth is closer. The twenty-first century shall be a hopeful and glorious century. TO make this happen, the Federation for World Peace will provide the ideal and philosophy to educate the world's population. The Federation will assist spiritually, mentally, and financially in the development of needy nations. The Federation will set a high moral standard and take up a dynamic role in building a world of peace.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are the apostles of peace. A bright new hope as well as an exciting new future is awaiting us. Today we should fervently feel the desire to fulfill the great mission that is being bestowed upon us.
In order to achieve this sacred duty and the historic responsibility of building lasting peace, we should dedicate our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor with total commitment. The very first item on our agenda shall be to invite God into our individual hearts, and those of our family, society, nation and world. When God is with us, who shall be against us?
Respected friends, my beloved brothers and sisters, we are called to this sacred mission the building of world peace. Our noble march shall begin today toward that glorious future. Let us build a true world of peace together with God.

RELIGION'S MISSION FOR WORLD PEACE, REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

Founder's Address Inaugural Assembly of the  Inter-Religious Federation For World Peace, August 27, 1991

Little Angels Performing Arts Center, Seoul, Korea

Respected and eminent religious leaders from countries around the world, distinguished representatives of worldwide religious organizations, scholars of religion, and all participants who are present here. From the bottom of my heart I welcome you to this historical Inaugural Assembly of the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace. In the Founder's Address at the first Assembly of the World's Religions, which was held in New Jersey in 1985, I identified three essential tasks for religious people. First, all religious traditions should respect each other and, at the very least, work to prevent conflict or war between religions. Second, all of us, as cooperating religious communities, should serve the world. And third, in order to fulfill the mission of religion, we should contribute to the development of world peace by means of an organization in which all religious leaders would participate.
At the second Assembly of the World's Religions, which was held in San Francisco one year ago, I called for the creation of the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace. Today, with the co-operation of religious leaders such as yourselves and in the presence of representatives of religions from around the world, the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace is announcing its historical birth.
Now is the time when all the world's religions should keenly feel central responsibility for the realization of world peace and should take action for this purpose. The future happiness of humankind cannot be achieved through the pursuit of economic prosperity alone, but only by overcoming conflicts between ideologies, between cultures and between races through inter-religious understanding and spiritual harmony. Therefore, the main theme of my message at this Inaugural Assembly of the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace is The Mission of Religion in the Establishment of World Peace.

Our purpose

God's ideal of creation centers on true love and calls each of us to exist for the sake of others. The purpose of human existence is to realize an ideal family, society, nation and world through individuals who embody this ideal and whose mind and body are harmoniously united into one. However, through Satan's false love and self-centeredness, each human being became an individual with disharmony between mind and body. The family, society, nation and world, consisting of human beings characterized by such contradiction, have troubles and dissensions that are nothing but the multi-dimensional amplification of the disunity and struggle that exists within the individual.
The democratic world has become increasingly individualistic and self-centered. This is what Satan wants, and thus Satan is leading most of humankind toward damnation. In order to stop this decline, we cannot rely on left-wing or right-wing ideas alone. We need head-wing thought centered on true love, which transcends ideologies on both the left and the right, and we need Godism, the teaching that human life is to be lived in relatedness to ultimate reality centered on true love.
Since the disunity in our society and world originated with Satan's false love, creating the discord between mind and body within individuals, true peace cannot be brought about without harmonious unity within individual human beings. This unity can only result from the experience of true love. The base for realizing the peaceful world is not to be discovered merely by seeking global solutions, but rather through individuals and families. Individuals whose mind and body are harmoniously united by God's true love and who go beyond Satan's dominion, and families, formed by such men and women, these become the delivery room for world peace.
The human fall, which came about through false love, created discord between mind and body. As a result we experience disunity and struggle in vertical relationships with God, our parents, our children, our students and in horizontal relationships with our spouse, our siblings, our friends, our co-workers. Instead of being characterized by love, these relationships became distorted due to the confusion within individuals between the mind's desire to serve others and the body's desire to gratify the self. The discord can be seen in the value systems (worldviews) which guide individual and social life. The confusion between mind and body extends to the confusion between religion and science, between idealism and materialism, and between value-seeking and fact-seeking pursuits.
According to the ideal of creation, as mind and body unite within an ideal individual through God's true love, mental and bodily worlds, which are extensions of individual mind and body, also should come into a harmonious relationship, not contradiction. Religion and philosophy represent the internal world of the mind; the bodily world is represented by politics and economics. Just as mind is in the subject and leading position, while the body is in the object position to harmonize with the mind, religion and politics also should achieve harmony and unity in a subject-object relationship. Otherwise, the ideal society cannot be created.

His Messengers

What has been God's purpose in sending saints and prophets? God's desire is to educate all people about His will of true love, by showing a model in personality and lifestyle. In particular, God's will is for the mental and bodily worlds to unify in a great harmony centered on God's will of true love. This can be accomplished by educating rulers and leaders about the Heavenly Way so they will then practice it.
But, as the body often does not follow what conscience requires, many rulers have not recognized holy men and saints; have not received their teaching; and have ignored their warnings. Who can take responsibility to solve the misery and the evils in contemporary society: the confusion in values, moral corruption, drug addiction, terrorism, racial discrimination and so on? Can politicians, with political power, completely solve such problems? There is a great responsibility and burden which accompanies the decisions and choices made by politicians. This is true especially in this age when societies are more pluralistic than ever and are so internationally interdependent. I think that rulers, when making an important decision, should humbly listen to the voice coming from heaven and look for solutions through following the Heavenly Way.
We should repent that religions themselves, representing the mental world, have not fulfilled their responsibility for bringing about the peaceful world. We cannot deny the fact that religions in their current state lack the life energy necessary for leading and purifying the world, and rather are going against their original mission. Each religion should revitalize its internal purity and life energy through God's true love; reform itself in a determined way; and develop harmonious relationships with other religions according to God's will of true love.
Devotion to God and His great will of true love is the mission of each religion. As such, the prosperity of each religious organization alone cannot be the purpose of religion. God demands that we come to know His great will for saving the world and that we practice this in our lives. This is more important than studying scriptures or observing religious ceremonies. Religions, for too long, have failed to relate to the living God and to bear witness clearly to Him. The God that I know has no attachment to the content of doctrines which are put together according to human logic. Since God is the Origin and Parent of all of us, He does not discriminate between races or between religions.
Therefore, religious believers should completely follow God's will of true love to realize the ideal world of peace, and the salvation of all people. Given the contemporary reality, religious people should not lead comfortable lives. Instead they must go on the way of a living faith, centered on true love and true life energy, having conversation with the living God. This cannot be achieved in the prevailing atmosphere of religion today. Unprecedented change on a global level, through the motivating power of all religions joined in a movement of a new dimension, is demanded.
The hypocrisy of those religious people who were not sincere in their practice of God's true love has led to the proliferation of atheism. This world should be changed. Each religion should make efforts to purify itself and to become the leading actor in a new reform. All religions should leave behind the pursuit of their own benefits; take up the cause of world salvation that God hopes for; stand on the front line in the effort to eliminate poverty, disease and crime in the world; become a bright light in this dark world of the Last Days; and so teach and guide leaders in every field such as politics, economics, or social work.

Reforming the World

Respected religious leaders. Following the direction of God's providence, I have been devoting all my energy to the work of reforming the world and restoring God's ideal of true love. Through the activities of the International Religious Foundation the Assembly of the World's Religions, New ERA, the Council for the World's Religions, the Religious Youth Service, the Inter- Denominational Conferences for Clergy. and the Youth Seminar on World Religions I have tried to provide a model of inter-religious understanding and harmony, and a model of that practice of God's true love which religious people should embody. I am doing my best for the sake of the ideal of world peace.
Today I announce the publication of World Scripture, completed after five years of cooperative effort among scholars of religion and after review and endorsement by heads of the world's religions. World Scripture will become a shining light, a volume of holy scripture that puts together the universally valuable contents of the world's religions. In particular, it will become a precious textbook for educating the younger generation who are to live together as one global family. It will teach them to be able to overcome barriers between religions, between races, and between cultures. I believe that, through this text, all people will not only free themselves from religious ignorance and self-righteousness, but also realize the fact that, among religions, there are shared values and a universal foundation which are of greater significance than the differences which have historically divided religions. I thank those scholars and Editorial Board members from each religions who worked for the publication of World Scripture.
Following this Inaugural Assembly of the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace, which represents the mental world and stands in the subject position for world peace, and International Federation for World Peace, which represents the bodily world and stands in the object position, is to be inaugurated here in this place. Leaders from every corner of the world are arriving for this event. If these two organizations, harmoniously cooperating internally and externally, practice unification through true love in accordance with heavenly will, then the peaceful world will be realized. When the unification of religion and politics, representing the unification of mind and body, comes about through God's true love, the world of peace will soon follow.
Respected leaders of religions. When we sincerely reflect on this age, we come to know that now is an urgent time when not only faith, but also practice and action are demanded. The world's problems including such miserable struggles as racial wars and religious wars which have come about through the spread of atheism, hedonism, secular humanism and through the distortion of true religion, are extremely serious.
In Western societies there is a tendency to take life easy, especially now that communist atheism has lost its ground. This tendency, however, comes from a superficial assessment of the situation, founded on ignorance about the real essence of the problems that we face. As long as a new awakening movement of true love centered on God does not occur throughout the entire society, the fall of contemporary civilization whose center has been Western society is coming, and that outcome will bring more misery than we can imagine.
The world as it is now cannot be left alone. There is no time. Who can take responsibility for this generation? Military leaders? Politicians? New social engineers? We, representing the religions, should take that responsibility. I ask your active cooperation. When, through the movement of the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace, historical religious traditions harmoniously advance in practice toward world peace, then the spiritual foundation for guiding the world will be firmly laid, and the ideal of peace centered on God's true love will be completed. When all religions of the world have a unified direction, the peace of the unified world will come.
I pray that God will protect the future of the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace and all of you representing the world's religious traditions. May God bless each of you and your families. May you become the people of true love who can bring peace to the world.

APPLY WISDOM TO THE REALIZATION OF GOD'S IDEAL, REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

Eighteenth International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences Farewell Banquet Speech August 26, 1991

Your busy schedule of these past few days is now over, and now it's time to bid farewell; I want to express my deepest gratitude to our Conference Chairman, Dr. Alvin Weinberg, for his dedicated leadership in the last three conferences. He has continued to raise the level of ICUS to even greater standards of academic excellence.

I also want to thank our distinguished Vice Chairmen,Dr. Tor Ragnar Gerholm, D. Michael Higatsberger, and Dr. Se Won Yoon, as well as all Committee Chairpeople and participants. Your very intense discussions and hard work during this conference have borne great fruit.
Mrs. Moon and I have been very happy to welcome you here to our homeland of Korea, where you could experience the Korean countryside, the warmth of the Korean people, and continue to forge bonds of friendship across national and cultural boundaries in this radiant land.
Over the past twenty years, we truly have become the "ICUS family," composed of scholars seeking to make the world a more ideal place. On each opportunity that we have to be together I have tried to share with you something from my heart centered on the will of heaven. This evening, I would like to share with you something about my thinking in placing such importance on giving encouragement and support to the scholarly community.
Scholars serve humankind through their wisdom and knowledge. Scholars enrich our lives and make them more convenient through their advances in science and technology. But even more importantly, realize that they have a mission to accomplish in realizing an ideal world of happiness.
In spite of the most earnest desires and fervent efforts of scholars, and in spite of the fact that we have seen a revolutionary improvement in our external material living conditions, humankind has yet to find a way to escape from anxiety and chaos, or from crime and violence. We find today that we need to develop deep wisdom concerning life, much more than we need further quantitative increases in our share of knowledge. Going one step further, we are in a position today where we must apply our wisdom to the realization of God's Ideal of Creation.
We who have been born into a fallen world carry within ourselves an original mind, that is, a mind that seeks to live forthrightly and to serve others, and also another mind concerned only with our own selfish gain and individual peace of mind. We have all experienced how the exponents of these two minds contradict and oppose each other in our daily lives.
It is God's desire that we follow our original mind in order to fulfill His Will. If only you can control the impetuses of your selfish mind, you will have true peace of mind and you will be able to hear God speak to you with His intimate advice for you. When we come to know the living God and form a heartistic relationship with Him, we can possess the ecstatic happiness of being enveloped in the ideal of God's true love.
Unlike knowledge, which is accumulated through a series of steps involving research and study, wisdom is gained through spiritual inspiration received as a result of God's blessing. People cannot develop spiritual faculties of inspiration as long as they follow the course indicated by their selfish minds.
I believe the greatest of all wisdom is to know the heart and ideal of God. We in the ICUS family need to develop a forum for our common efforts that will transcend the dimension of conventional research and enable us to possess the wisdom of heaven. If this is accomplished, we will be able to take a central responsibility in bringing about an ideal world of peace that is the ideal of God and the common hope of all humanity. God is eagerly awaiting scholars of good conscience who will take on such a role. In view of the expectations that society places on scholars and of the mission that scholars bear in the education of our young people, it is clear that the role models that you provide will have wide-spread influence.
I am deeply touched that you and many other scholars like you are coming together to work for this noble cause, although you may not share all of my ideas. I feel that God is pleased to see you pouring out your wisdom and knowledge in service to the future of the world, and I'm sure His blessing will continue to be upon your efforts.
We have made many important contributions over the past twenty years, and I believe there is still much more that we must do. I will continue to support your efforts. The world today way present us with problems that seem beyond our capacities. As long as we root ourselves in the spirit of God's true love, that is, the spirit of living for others, our sacrificial efforts will serve as the primary force in accomplishing a world of peace.
I am happy to announce that I have invited Dr. Tor Ragnar Gerholm to become the Chairman of the next International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences, which will be held one year from today, in August 1992, here in Seoul. The 19th ICUS will be a part of the great festival of world culture, which you have heard me speak of before.
I am sure Dr. Gerholm will be calling upon your cooperation and assistance in organizing next year's conference. I know you will give him the same active cooperation that you have extended that you have extended to Dr. Weinberg and other chairmen in the past. I look forward to welcoming you, the members of the ICUS family, together with the participants in the other cultural and athletic events that will be held then.
God bless you all, your nations, your families and your work. May you have a safe journey home and a prosperous year until we meet again next year at the 19th ICUS here in Seoul. Thank you very much.

ABSOLUTE VALUES AND THE REASSESSMENT OF THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD, REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

Founder's Address Eighteenth International Conference on the Unity of the ciences August 23, 1991 Seoul, Korea

Honorable chairman, vice-chairman, committee chairmen, distinguished scholars, ladies and gentlemen.
It gives me great pleasure to greet you again in my home country of Korea. Already, ten years have passed since we held our discussions here in Seoul on "The Creation of the New World". At that time, I proposed the building of an international highway system extending from East Asia and connecting all regions of the world. Also, we began then a project to publish the results of your research in a manner that would give constructive influence to the younger generations around the world. 
Ten years ago, such plans seemed like impossible dreams. Today, however, we have established the necessary foundations for their realization, and we are beginning to see emerge the broad outlines of their completed forms. Preliminary plans have been completed for an undersea tunnel connecting Japan and Korea, and an exploratory tunnel is now under construction. For the publication of your papers and books, we now have the publishing house Paragon House and the magazine The World & I. In addition, the International Federation for World Peace and the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace are to be established here in your presence. I proposed these two organizations last year, and I believe you later received mailings with further information.
Ladies and gentlemen, the contemporary world around us is in a period of transition, and is in need of careful reassessment. In the past, the consistent emphasis on values in ICUS conference themes may have been considered prophetic in their nature. Today, however, the cry for new values can be heard from around the world, and the work of this conference has become an important means for dealing with our immediate reality. The dramatic changes occurring in the Soviet Union and in Eastern and Central Europe underscore this fact.
Following the collapse of the communist world, there are those who speak with self-assurance of the superiority of the West's existing values and institutions. We must examine, however, the societies of the free world and other non-communist countries that until recently stood in opposition to the communist bloc. Where are these societies going? Does their progress reassure us that the future happiness of the world's people is guaranteed? We can see that, even after the collapse of the communist bloc, many problems still remain in our world. To develop the necessary solutions, we need to look to the deeper origins of such problems. Our task should be a fundamental reassessment of all the institutions and life-styles of our contemporary world. Such a reassessment will enable us to identify those aspects of our world that can be considered suitable and filling by an enlightened and awakened humanity possessing a renewed consciousness.
Fundamentally, the confusion in the value systems of today's societies derives from a break in the original vertical order between God and humanity. The various institutions and values we have today lack clear direction and are inherently unstable and mutually contradictory, because they are man-made orders established horizontally, that is, without an axis connecting them to God.
The universe does not exist merely on the basis of individual material substances that are its component parts. Our world is not a mere sum total of isolated individual substances. Material substances derive their primary existence from the energy that appears through their relationships with other substances. Societies exist, prosper and develop within the context of mutual give and take relationships. Behind such relationships-that is, behind each relationship between material substances and behind each give and take relationship between individual beings-there is a pre-existing vertical order of a higher dimension that endows these individual substances with a common motivational drive and purpose. For example, human beings have been endowed with freedom in order that we may experience the highest levels of joy and love for God and for our fellow human beings. Thus, if we are to attain the purpose of our existence, we must first inherit the true love of God.
In the ideal human society, true love that always seeks "to give to others" forms the basis for all relationship. Such true love is motivated by the experience of the true love of parents. The true love of parents, which is in turn rooted in God's true love, is the means to nurture a child's character to its full completed state. A man and a woman nurtured in this way, and each possessing completed character, come together as husband and wife to form a family, where they will convey true love to their children. This is the original order of Creation. The ideal world on earth is built when one individual possessing completed character is able to expand true love in ever-widening concentric circles of family, society, nation and world.
Our world today has a different origin from the ideal world I have just described. Today, we have an expansion of the results of the Human Fall, an event in which human beings departed from the most important of the principles of God's creative act, that is, the discipline of love. Having turned against the order of God's Creation, our world today places value in man-made organizations and structures and in the order of law. These are incapable of raising up ideal individuals, families and peoples. They cannot provide a guarantee for a truly brighter tomorrow for the people of the world.
Respected scholars, you are highly educated in fields dealing with the developmental aspects of nature and human society. The natural world around us and our societies are suffering daily violence and injury. With each passing day, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat become more polluted. Despite advances of science and the increasing convenience of daily life, we find increasing cause for despair. If humanity in the twenty-first century continues to place itself outside the fundamental principles of God, who created the universe, we will no longer be able to exist as master of the planet earth. Closer human relationships, even if some may not want them, are necessary for the future of humanity.
We are entering the age of "one global family", in which we will have no choice but to live in much closer proximity to those who religions, nationalities, and skin colors are different from our own. In such a world, we will need to develop a genuine acceptance for-as opposed to simple appreciation of-the wide variety of religions, cultural traditions and life-styles around us. It will be impossible for any individual or group to selfishly choose to possess their own separate haven. Humanity must no longer despoil nature for its own selfish purposes but must utilize and develop nature in accordance with the larger purposes of the world community and future generations. What will be the underlying order of this new age and new society, and how are we to raise up the constructive members of such a global society? This question can only be answered in terms of the order of God's Creation, with the discipline of love as its central axis.
Respected scholars, perhaps the points I have raised here will help to explain why I, as one who has consistently sought to realize God's Will, have sponsored eighteen sessions of the International Conference on the Unity of Sciences over nearly twenty years. Decades ago, I foresaw the future toward which society was progressing. Despite the inability of some to appreciate my efforts, I have maintained my spiritual and material support for the conference with conviction. It is because of this ardent desire to serve the future of humanity that, beginning with the first session in 1972, ICUS has had an unconventional structure that brings together scholars in the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences in a common forum that emphasizes interdisciplinary harmony and unity. I recognize that each academic discipline has its own specific characteristics, and I understand the need of specialization in research. Research conducted in the various individual fields, however, must be brought together through mutually cooperative and complementary relationships in order to serve the purpose of good. This is also the reason I have continued to place in the theme of each ICUS conference the term "absolute values", although scientists frequently find this concept objectionable. I am grateful that you and many other scholars around the world have some to share my vision and are cooperating to organize and continue the work of this conference.
ICUS must now develop to a new level. With absolute values as our central axis, we must now begin an aggressive effort to teach and apply the results of the comprehensive research of this conference in ways that will benefit the future world. With this in mind, the ICUS structure already has served as a medium for establishing branches of the Professors World Peace Academy in ninety-five countries, so as to involve the scholars in these countries in a worldwide cultural effort. Many people have expressed great hope in such a practical movement of conscientious scholars. For intellectuals, who form the most respected group in our society, taking the lead in conveying proper values to the young people of the world is no less important a task than you work as professors in your specific fields. I believe it is important to have scholars from around the world form teams to visit various countries and give wide-ranging instruction. A program of this type has already been conducted with significant success in Japan and Korea. There is a need for a worldwide participation of scholars in a movement to give new vision to the people of our contemporary world, particularly the young people, so as to save them from the snares of drugs, hedonism, violence and war. With your ingenuity and practical experience, I know we can build a new world culture.
Finally, let me say that I am confident that many valuable discussions and conclusions will come out of this conference being held in my home country. I am proud of Korea for the fact that it has maintained a beautiful cultural tradition, including a strong tradition of families, in spite of its long history of suffering. I also believe Korea can be praised for having risen from the ashes of successive wars to rapidly achieve its current economic prosperity. I hope you will have a fruitful stay here.
I pray that God's protection and blessing will be with you and your families. Thank you very much.

ROYAL FAMILY OF TRUE LOVE, REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

July 28, 1991, Belvedere, Tarrytown, New York, Translator - Dr. Bo Hi Pak

In the last several years the situation of the world has changed most dramatically. As you know, communism has tumbled down and I had to prepare internal and providential changes in order to generate these external changes. I have been very busy to keep up with the schedule of the Providential

will and program and therefore have not been with you too many times. Do you understand and welcome me?
As you well know, the Unification Church has been in the position to receive the most persecution. From that position we are rising to the position of being most welcomed by the society and the nation. I'm sure you feel that change to the bone, don't you? We have witnessed the collapse of the left wing or communism, and watched the crumbling of the Berlin Wall. The right wing, or democracy, which is represented by the United States and the free world, should be prospering while the left wing is going down. However, that is not happening. The free world is also going down, following the path of the demise of communism. This is the real problem today.
Of the two thieves on either side of Jesus at the crucifixion, one opposed him and one offered his support, introducing the terms left wing and right wing. During the time of the Second Advent, the left wing and right wing terminology will disappear. The Messiah shall stand victoriously in the center, forming the headwing, or Godwing. The left and right will unite with the central Godwing ideology. This is the conclusion and culmination of religious history.
The world is in absolute confusion today. The democratic world is in trouble and has no solutions. The left wing is in disarray. Can the leaders of the free and communist worlds find a solution for lasting peace? No! Reverend Sun Myung Moon's actions will become the focal point for promoting peace.
The Unification Movement is a multi-colored movement with people from all backgrounds. Many governments have persecuted this movement and tried to wipe it off the face of the earth. But we have continued to prosper. Therefore, they now know they must either join or decline.
The popular opinion was, "Those Moonies are weird people. There is something wrong with them." But now world scholars and philosophers are studying Father's teaching, the Divine Principle, and have completely surrendered to it. People thought communism would conquer the world. Instead, communism collapsed. Who went to the Soviet Union first? Reverend Moon and the Unification people. We are teaching the Divine Principle to the communists.
The surprising thing is this: Reverend Moon's strength has been studied, not only by scholars, but by government agencies such as the CIA, the FBI and the KGB. They have come to the conclusion that the Unification Movement it not a cult; on the contrary, it has a value system that needs to be adopted throughout the world in the twenty-first century. The ideologies of East and West have failed and the leaders have thrown their hands up. They must turn to me to study my teaching and value system, which is centered upon God and exists absolutely for the future happiness of all mankind. This is their conclusion, not my conclusion.
Shall we talk about a bad topic or a good topic today? In order for me to speak about a good topic, I need good people to listen. Are you good or bad people? Have your actions been really good in the sight of God or are you only answering positively? Then you are actually bad people. We are at the final crossroads of good and evil, so we must evaluate ourselves.
Even today, you can make a new beginning. You may think, "I have not been so good, but here in the presence of Father, Mother, the True Family, the spirit world, and the beauty of nature, I will make a pledge to move toward the good side. From today on, I'm going to be an absolutely dedicated Unificationist."
Our title today is: "The Royal Family of True Love." Am I speaking about a conceptual idea that will happen a thousand years from now, or am I speaking about reality? (Reality!) There are many of you who have not really believed in your heart the things Father has said. There are few Unificationists who have believed in Father one hundred percent. Is there anybody who can say, "Father I have been with you one thousand percent; I never doubted any of your words"?
The fact is, whether you believed it or not, Father's words have been fulfilled to the last iota. Was God's will automatically fulfilled? Not at all, because there is always a factor of human responsibility. That is precisely what the Divine Principle is all about.
There are many Unification Church members in Korea, Japan and elsewhere in the world, but none of them had anything to do with the fulfillment of Father's prophecy. Only one person, Father himself, has fulfilled his five percent of human responsibility, leading to the fulfillment of the Providential will. Therefore, who will pioneer the new future history? Father himself.
On August 31, l989, in Kodiak, Alaska, Father declared the Pal Jong Shik, meaning Eight Stages Settlement Ceremony. Do you know its contents? You've been saying, "I'm a member of the Unification Church," but you do not know Father nor the Unification Church so well. In that ceremony, Father proclaimed that the world would quickly and drastically change.
Then, on September 1, Father declared the age of True Parentism. If True Parentism had appeared at the outset of human history, there would have been no Satan and no evil; God's will would have been long established here on the earth. Satan's world has been flourishing, but when Father declared True Parentism, Satan had to retreat.
What happened after that? That same year, the Berlin Wall, the symbol of East-West separation, came tumbling down. Only five months later, Father went to Moscow and met with President Gorbachev in the Kremlin on April 11, 1990. Through this, True Parents set the condition for the second generation of the communist world to follow a new ideology and value system. So far, 3000 Soviet college students from the best universities have come to Father's seminars to learn the Divine Principle and have become incredibly inspired.
President Gorbachev not only amended the constitution to end the communist dictatorship, but has virtually declared the end of communism. The Soviets are trying to imitate the Western economic system. But where can they gain a value system for their future? Only from Reverend Moon's Godism ideology. It is the hope of the Soviet Union. History has been made by men, often without God. This time history shall be made with a God centered-ideology!
What if the Soviet Union's dramatic acceptance of Father could happen in all the fifty states of America? What if each governor told Father, "Please come and set up the Unification Church in our state because only your ideology can save our people"? It would be a miracle. But it is already happening in the Soviet Union.
Recently members of the KGB confessed to Father saying, "We have been gathering information about you and your movement for ten years." They thought Reverend Moon was their archenemy but with recent changes they came to the conclusion that Reverend Moon is the greatest ally of the Soviet Union and the Divine Principle has the answers for the problems of the Soviet people.
While the Soviet Union is making this kind of foundation, what is the free world doing, especially America? This is a problem. Do you want to be defeated by the Soviet Union? (No!) No matter how they acted in the past, the Soviet Union has now changed their direction 180 degrees. This is reality.
In the Bible there is a saying that the last shall become the first and the first, the last. Father first came to the United States and put most of his energy into this country. In terms of God's Providence the Soviet Union is the last country. They are just now accepting the Divine Principle, but the last are becoming first. This is a realization of that prophecy.
Furthermore, established Christianity was the first, worshipping Jesus Christ and God. However, because they did not accept this last days truth coming from God, they will become the last, and atheists who accepted True Parentism and the Messiah will become the first. Those atheists will accuse Christians, asking, "You're supposed to be Christ's disciples, but what have you done? We have been atheists but we accepted the truth. We know True Parents now, we know true love now, so we are ahead of you." This kind of transition has been occurring at this time.
We are now having follow-up training for the Soviet students in seven different locations throughout the country. Over 2000 people have been attending these workshops. You applaud but your applause has no power because though one side is happy because Father has so much success, one side is ashamed thinking about the Church in the United States.
You have not been listening to Father too well and never really believed Father's message, but what about today? Can you believe the things that Father is announcing to you? (Yes!) Those who say, "Though I may have doubted in the past, I repent and from this time forward pledge to believe you with no doubt whatsoever," raise your hands! Now that I see you believe me, I have more power and fun to speak to you.
Belvedere seems to be a magic place. Everybody comes here and gets so energized and yells "Yes, yes!" to all I say. As soon as you get out of the Belvedere door, you begin to worry about your groceries, your trip to the drug store, and other things. By lunchtime, you have a thousand things to worry about. You wonder if you really saw Father and don't remember what you heard. You become your old self. In the meantime, one year is passing, ten years are passing, and your life is passing away.
Is there any school that will allow you to stay for ten years or more just because you are a slow learner? There is no room to keep you there for so long, so they will kick you out. Do you understand? Your life and your fruit is not Father's responsibility, it is not the Unification Church's responsibility. You yourself are responsible for your eternal life and your heaven. In the Bible, Jesus was passing through Jerusalem and saw a fig tree growing by the side of the road. He was in a hurry and crossed to the tree wanting to pick some fruit, but there was none. Jesus accused that tree and immediately it died. So don't die. You not only have your life, but you have to bear fruit. Ten years, twenty years of membership does not automatically bring you fruit. That is not the way that God works. You must have actual fruit.
For example, many United States citizens claim to be patriots. But it doesn't make any difference unless they have some patriotic deeds to support that statement. This is true for saints as well. No matter how many good words you are speaking for the sake of humanity, unless you bear fruit you are not going to be regarded as a saint. Words pass away, but only fruit remains as real accomplishment. Reverend Moon is the same, no exception. If I just talked empty talk, it would not bring me any glory or accomplishment. Even I am worried about how much real accomplishment or fruit I am bearing throughout the world.
Great countries like the United States, Japan, the Soviet Union, the Republic of China, Germany, England and France are all fearful of me. Is it because I am some sort of criminal? No. What they fear is that I have made achievements they cannot even imagine, and in such a short time. So, when you stand on your accomplishments the entire heaven and earth shall surrender to you. Have you heard about the book, Inquisition? It tells what actually happened during Father's trial, proclaiming the truth about how the United States government conspired to put Father into jail. Yet, while he was on trial Father created projects like the Washington Times and Insight magazine, The World and I, and so on, in order to save America. I never sought revenge. In 1975, the United States was defeated in Vietnam and plunged to the point of lowest morale in American history. Liberalism was rampant. It was only through Father's support that the right wing could regain leadership of America. History will prove these things cannot be denied.
Though I supported the Reagan administration, the biggest irony is this: The Reagan administration is the very one which allowed the government to put me into jail. Under normal circumstances I should feel vindictive. Instead I created many projects to support the conservative cause. I do these unusual things because I am not working for myself, but for God.
I also knew that the Soviet Union had a plan to conquer the United States and the free world. I could not allow this to happen because it is not God's Will, so I assembled every ounce of energy of our movement for this purpose.
Recently I spoke to the Washington Times staff: "I have invested millions of dollars in this newspaper. Many people think there must be some ulterior motive for this continuous investment even though there is never any profit. Do you know my hidden motivation? I have a divine calling from God." I clearly stated: "I created the Washington Times for the sake of the collapse of communism. That mission is accomplished so now is the time to deal with the domestic moral agenda: the decline of Christianity and the rise of secular humanism, the drug culture, the breakdown of families and juvenile delinquency. All these problems are your problems, not my problems. I could wash my hands and walk away, but I stay. The reason is you don't understand and even more you don't have a solution. So I am going to stay here and fight that battle to clean up America and save this country." They were very inspired to hear this.
Korean and Japanese people came to America only because Father wanted them to come. Were they welcomed by the United States and welcomed by the American members? Or did you say, "We don't need them. We have a Christian heritage and Korea and Japan are not even Christian countries"? No matter how proud you are you don't have the contents needed to move into the future world.
But I am different than you. I have a strong ideology. Once someone studies the Divine Principle they can turn completely around in only three days. Its power is much stronger than economic power. But you foolish people don't know what a strong armament you have.
Do you think white people are the supreme people? A very famous white American journalist recently wrote an essay claiming that Asian people have a much superior quality compared to the white race. Koreans kept their traditions intact through 5000 years and 931 invasions. Wisdom, power and courage enabled the Korean people to maintain their Korean identity. Although Asian people's skin is dark and their height is short, they have stronger human qualities within them. I know very well that within American society they are worried about Reverend Moon's epidemic: "Don't catch that one. Reverend Moon will persuade you and brainwash you" and on and on. But actually, what I am doing is trying to save this country, both white and black people. Even though you never say it, white people subconsciously look down on other races. But I want you to know, and only Reverend Moon can say something like this, you are being defeated right now by the Asian people, in every way. Asian people's good characters are becoming more and more evident in American society. So you must wake up! God sent one savior, the True Parents, out of the Korean race. This is the most logical thing.
Korean people can quickly summarize the situation of the world, which country is going up or down, what people are good, what people are evil. God gave them special training for 5000 years. Out of that race came the True Parents. The religious world knows that there is no one like Reverend Moon, who within his own lifetime has prescribed the salvation for all of humanity, and is doing everything possible for humanity's sake, giving every ounce of his energy, sweat and blood and his soul. Yet, in parts of the religious world we still hear: "Oh, Reverend Moon, don't infiltrate Christianity!" and in the political and business world as well. People are very envious of Father's success.
Everyone had thought that Father and the Unification Church could never survive through such persecution. And when I went to Danbury, many members cried at East Garden. But I never cried. I said, "Why cry? I am not looking at the front of Danbury prison, but at the other side of Danbury, at what kind of glorious and victorious history shall be made." I kept working to make that prophesy come true and after Danbury it came true, didn't it? Now my name is being resurrected. Father once said at Belvedere, "The day that Reverend Moon's name is resurrected, this world will have salvation and true lasting peace." That day has arrived, amen!
Furthermore, through uniting with me, you are also ascending into heaven, both here on earth and in your eternal life. Korea was the number one country against me. Because Korean people are smart, they know how to persecute well too. But presently the Korean people think there is only one person who can unite North and South Korea - Reverend Moon. They have said, "We have never seen a living saint since Taegun, Korea's forefather, but we have seen one in Reverend Sun Myung Moon."
Many established Christians still believe that the Lord of the Second Coming will appear on the clouds of heaven. But some feel, if he comes in person as did Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, there is no one but Rev. Moon who fits into that category. They reason, "Who else has the qualifications excepyt Rev. Moon." I subjugated the Antichrist, the communist world, which is the number one qualification of messiahship.
Three consecutive forty-day seminars have been conducted for Muslim leaders-Syrians, Yemeni, and Egyptians. Mingling with other religions is usually a high offense, but they are allowed to come by their leaders. Could those Muslims listen to Christian leaders? Could Billy Graham or the President of the United States do that? Only Father can do that!
Last year, Father spoke in ten gymnasiums throughout South Korea, as well as in the major cities of the United States, to the Korean people. I proclaimed True Parentism. They just listened with no objections, particularly the Korean Christians. In one gymnasium tens of thousands did a True Parents' mansei at the end.
How much transformation in men's lives has been brought about on the face of the earth because of one man? Until now, humanity had no hope. Now, True Parents' direction alone will provide them salvation.
Father brought more than 30,000 Korean leaders to the United States, across the Pacific, to attend a Divine Principle seminar and see Father's accomplishments. But people say, "Reverend Moon is a great liar. How could anyone bring that many people across the Pacific? Not even a government could do that."
Here is the United States many eople live on either the West Coats or the East Coast. But they can live and die without even having gone to visit the opposite coast. But I am bringing people from the other side of the world, from Korea, Japan, and the Soviet Union. People disbelieve Father because it is too incredible.
You are very powerful individuals, but you don't know it. Why? Because you met Father. Otherwise, you might live and die in one place. By joining with Father you have been around all 50 states doing MFT or evangelization work, and furthermore, many of you went to Europe, Asia and Africa. If Father asks you to assemble in Korea in one month, it is nothing for you. You are well-trained to go anywhere in order to save the world and liberate God.
You have now heard all the prophesies which Father has fulfilled; therefore, you must become a true believer. Everything I have said has been achieved and is thus easily believed. So now I must give you new words.
Today's topic is "The Royal Family of True Love." I have spoken for two hours just about history. Everyone now pledges, "Yes, I am going to follow Father's words and become a champion of this church."
Today's topic sounds easy, but none of you really think about how difficult it is to fulfill this title - become a royal family of true love.
What is the original site of the royal family? Is the royal family centered upon man or God? If the royal family is humanity, then what is God's position? God is the royal family lord, owner, and subject. What is another title for God? King, kingship! Without a king there is no royalty.
Normally, is the king a man or a woman? Will American women say, "The king is a woman"? Does the king come first or the queen come first? (King!) Where there is a king, there should also be a queen. They are meant to be equal, but if the queen doesn't follow and unite with the kingdom's law and philosophy, she is certainly not entitled to queenship. The king and queen's children constitute the royal family.
In the Unification Church we are always talking about the restoration of the elder son's right-Cain and Abel. We are also pursuing the parent's right and the king's right. Do you know who should be the king of the Unification Church? God! But since God is invisible, He bequeathed the kingship to His son, Reverend Moon.
God is the King of Kings-the problem-making King of Kings. Why is Reverend Moon so controversial? Because I am the heir of the problem-making King. But I am making problems for Satan, pushing him out wherever I go. I have created so much noise that people hear about me and without even knowing me, want to spit at me. I am like a poisonous snake to them, but to God, I am a trouble-making king for Satan's world.
I have been creating individual problems, family problems, tribal problems, national problems, world problems, spiritual and physical world problems, cosmic problems. Hell's world has united to push me out: "Don't speak out, or you will die." But I didn't care. I have been speaking out, year after year, until now I am over seventy years old, an old grandpa. God gave me the power to overcome Satan. No one can deny that any longer. Can you deny or accept that? (Accept it.)
Is Satan's world a nice place or a bad place? It is the worst place, and that is where you come from. It is a wonderful privilege to become a trouble-maker for Satan's world.
I infiltrated and overcame Satan's world, with God as my Partner. Satan has been trying to hide certain information from me, but spirit world informs me right away. That is why Satan dislikes me so much. Satan's side thought they had completely demolished us, but all of a sudden they realized I was not only alive, but getting stronger. They were shooting at my lower body, but my head was way above, protected. So my head got the victory; this is why Reverend Moon's ideology finally received the name, Headwing-it means head won!
The whole world united to shoot at one target-Reverend Moon. But who protected me? (God.) They tried to break through the invisible shield of God and heavenly fate, but it was too strong.
Father has declared the victory. As early as l979, the academic community attempted to knock my ideology down, but I won the knock-out victory over them. The only people still opposing me are those who are not informed. Suppose all the established Christians listened to a Divine Principle seminar for one week. Would they be turned around, changing their concepts and attitudes? (Yes.)
Since the liberation of Korea in l945, established Christianity has been the major obstacle for the advancement of the Unification Movement. Since l945, how many people have died and gone to spirit without knowing the Divine Principle and True Father? One billion lives ended up in hell because established Christianity blocked them. These Christians think they can go to heaven through worshipping the Lord Jesus, but when they go to spirit world, one billion innocent victims are waiting for them: "Because you opposed Reverend Moon, I could not end up in heaven."
Furthermore, Unification Church members also are going to be accused, because those in spirit world will say that you knew the True Parents, knew how to obtain salvation, but because of your lack of doing, you couldn't restore even your own tribe. Because of you, the True Parents' name has not reached every corner of the earth. Victims have been increasing every year. They will say, "You rascal-you too became an obstacle for us to go to heaven." What do you think? Will your ancestors welcome you in the spirit world, or will they be cursing you in the spiritual world? (Cursing.)
You are not here because you are eligible to become a member of the Unification Church. You are the representative of your tribe and of your ancestors. If you fail, you are responsible for the failure of your entire family clan. God chose you for this mission. It is a public mission, not an individual mission. A public mission means restoring history, from the individual foundation to the cosmic foundation, including God. Look at the miserable situation of downtown New York City? Who should save it? Should God or Father do it? No. That is your mission, why you were called by God.
You must take the repentance way. These are not Father's words, but God's words. Future generations will accuse you, "Did you do your mission?" You must repent and do your public mission.
How can you liberate these levels? You must take up the cross, and go the agonizing indemnity way, as Jesus did. This Grandpa went this way, step by step, and the next generations must each pass though the same absolute course. From now on you must take the way of repentance.
When I think about the persecution I encountered, it was God's way of protecting me: "Don't go astray, take the correct path." The correct way was liberating the individual level to the family, tribe, nation, world, and cosmic levels. Not the way of just individual salvation, as established Christians believe. What was my path centered upon? True Love. True Love is the center of that straight and narrow way, the only way to open the gates from the individual to the cosmic levels.
I expanded a rocky mountainous path into a superhighway. So, you must follow behind me, taking the true love way. Don't wander around-take the short-cut of true love!
I encountered so many walls and barriers along the way, but they have been torn down. You never understood Father's miserable situation during this course. Going to jail is no problem, compared to Satan's secret obstacles, which only Father knows about. It was worse than a head-on collision. How many times I smiled, but I was desperately fighting to break up Satan's world. Only I understood God and Satan's secret war, so I took responsibility for this mission. I stood at the center of the battlefield with every imaginable satan shooting at me, trying to destroy God's foundation. But I moved forward to liberate God throughout the free world. From now on, no more persecution appears on the horizon. I liberated everything.
When I came to America it was like a modern-day Rome. I proclaimed to Senators and Congressmen, "You are wrong!" I fought to become God's victor, restoring past history and making a foundation to restore the Christian second generation in the United States.
Now the American government and American churches must follow my teachings. There is no hope otherwise. I am being recognized for who I truly am. The Inquisition book clearly proclaims the truth. As opinion-makers read that book, they change 180 degrees: "We must repent for our treatment of Rev. Moon."
The satanic world has been targeting Father. However, Father repelled every one of those attacks and declared the victory. One man stood with all humanity against him. From that a foundation was built, through the indemnity course. Parents, brothers and sisters, and relatives kidnapped their Moonie children. That phenomena occurred only in the Unification Church. But I won back the individual foundation, the family foundation, ultimately indemnifying the world foundation.
At the family level all families came against me; at the tribe level, all the tribes of the world attacked me. After winning the tribal level we rose to the national level, and all the nations of the world gathered to destroy us. Finally, all of the spiritual world came against me.
But now, the leading nations of the world no longer have any power over me. They said, "Reverend Moon, we don't want you!" But all of the worldwide opposition caused me to be raised up even more quickly.
Even hell's gate has been opened. I connected the bottom of hell to the highway course to heaven. You don't know how many miserable tears I cried to reach even those in the depths of hell. I threw a rope down and you grabbed it. I went the liberation course way, from the individual to the heavenly world, opening all the gates. It is done.
All living things on the earth have heard about me, even babies on their mothers' backs. Why? So much noise surrounds my life. How to reach everyone on earth was a major problem for me. Even a really good person who spends his whole life serving humanity cannot reach many remote areas. But, fearful mafia figures are easily known throughout the world. So my strategy to proclaim my name even in remote areas was to make trouble and receive persecution for forty years.
People in the spiritual world will ask, "Did you live on the earth during this time?" "Yes." "Have you heard of Reverend Moon?" "Yes." "Is he good or bad?" "Bad, bad, bad." In established Christian churches, children are asked at Sunday school to write, "Reverend Moon is an evil person." They are singing, "Jesus Christ is our Lord. He is coming back on the clouds to save all sincere Christians and bring us up to heaven."
Your mission is to clean up evil! When did you understand and follow me? I was shielding you from Satan's bullets, because you didn't have enough strength. Now, your remaining mission is to clear up the darkness of the satanic atmosphere. Whose mission is that, yours or Father's mission? (Ours, Father.) You must walk on the road to liberation that I clearly taught to you.
Pal Jong Shik was an important ceremony to transfer your satanic, stained blood lineage to God's side. You were connected to Satan's love, Satan's life, and Satan's lineage-a satanic trinity. The blood lineage is connected to the parents' life, which is centered on love. Man and woman become parents centering on love. The father and mother's love have give and take, forming a sphere of love. At the center point of that love, life is conceived. Centering on the parents' love and life, the blood lineage is connected. Even though a woman divorces her husband, she and her children cannot be easily separated, because children are the fruit of love.
But all of humanity is the fruit of the fall. Even though you wanted to go the original way, it could not be found. God and Satan's direction are 180 degrees different. God's side does not allow divorce.
What does fallen humanity need? Messiahship! Only there can be found God's love, life and lineage. Through inheriting that, you can rebuild the original world, centering on God and true love. How can fallen humankind regain their former condition? Only by changing 180 degrees. What is the enemy's base? Satan's love, life, and lineage-Satan's love seed. That seed was multiplied, generation by generation, to the world. This is modern humanity's miserable situation. You cannot find true love, the true way of life, nor the true blood lineage in Satan's world. Instead, everyone says, "I don't need my spouse, I don't need my parents, I don't need to have children."
We must turn around 180 degrees! America was rampant with streaking, Hippies, the drug culture. Upon arriving here I agonized day and night, "What can I do about America's miserable situation?" It is like an overflowing trashcan! Free sex, secular humanism, just enjoying life.
How can you guide people? You must inherit absolute life and absolute love. But where can those contents be found? American young people are in mental agony, going down to hell every day. I could hear the sound of cries ringing out everywhere.
I looked toward America's future and saw only darkness. You don't how much I agonized over this situation. Someone had to bring enlightenment to this dark atmosphere. But one cannot find that kind of light in the established Christian world. The American government, American families and young people have no hope. Who can save this situation? Only Almighty God! Man's power is used up! Look around you-communism and democracy are fighting. Now Unificationists proclaim, "We will make the parents' path, resolving the fighting."
So, to help humanity's miserable situation you need Parentship, centering on God and True Parents. You need True Parents to clean up Satan's love, Satan's life, and Satan's blood lineage foundation.
What is the connecting place between man and woman? The sexual organ! That organ was originally to be God's love palace! Love, life and lineage palace are combined into one foundation - man's sexual organ. It is meant to be the holiest place. Only after the fall did it become the most dirty place. God put it in a protected part of the body, like a hidden construction. God is such a genius!
We must realize the most valuable foundation for life, love and blood lineage are all to be found in that organ-past, present and future history are all connected to it. Satan defiled the most holy place, planting his corrupted seed in the first human ancestors. That seed was bequeathed generation to generation. Springtime and summertime have already passed, and now the autumn harvest time is here.
In the Garden of Eden, teenagers corrupted the most holy place. In the harvest time, free sex flourishes throughout the world, like a weed. This concept must be totally destroyed. It belongs solely to Satan's side. The only way to banish it forever is to teach the Unification course. Through that you can win over your brothers and sisters, your parents, your relatives, your nation, your world, your cosmos, including hell. All these must be connected to the parenthood foundation. You must clean up Satan's filth. Every day God has had to look at it!
We must change this painful history, creating the future of goodness. No matter how difficult the situation, you must beat back Satan's world. Now, courageous young people must stand up one by one, covering the four corners of the earth. This is what God wants! It is the only way to save humanity's destiny. Can established Christianity or the sovereign powers do it? Only those who understand the problem can do it. But no one knew those contents, because Satan blocked them. The only one who knows is Reverend Moon and his beloved followers. You are a small number of blessed people here, compared to the power of the world. But, be like Father! Father alone challenged the American government, declaring, "You must take the repentance way otherwise you will perish." They didn't want to listen to such an insignificant person from Korea. They spat me out.
You have been called by God. Go the way of natural subjugation. I took that way through the court case here in America. I went to Satan's basement, Danbury prison, to open that too. From there I began the resurrection course. Now it appears that Reverend Moon is not the lowest scoundrel, but a man with worldwide connections. We have knowledge power, organization power, scientific and technological power. It is all for fulfilling God's mission.
I had to destroy Satan's foundation from the individual to the cosmic levels. No matter how powerful Satan was, he knew that he was unrighteously occupying the earth. I represented God, and proclaimed, "You are wrong!" Satan had to get behind God. God became the king of judges and placed his sentence on Satan, "Get out of the world! Reverend Moon is the righteous center of the world, My true love center!" Satan couldn't object because that was the Principled viewpoint. I made a foundation to the cosmic level through the natural subjugation way. No more persecution remains. I restored individual ownership, family ownership, tribal ownership, national ownership, world ownership, cosmic ownership, and God's power on earth! You have to connect to this foundation! A purer atmosphere is growing on the earth. Proclaim that God is the King!
The liberation foundation has been made on the earth. After Adam and Eve's fall, kingship, parentship, and elder brothership were completely lost. Satan occupied everything. Now God is taking ownership of His original property. Now the worldwide economic and political viewpoint are connecting. The spiritual, vertical world and the physical, horizontal world are connecting. God's cosmic ideal family world is appearing! It is like a true love soccer ball that God can kick around-such an exciting world! Every point on the sphere makes a vertical axis to the central point. Therefore, all points can equally receive God's love. There has been so much inequality throughout the world because mankind never took the vertical axis position to God.
Until now, there was never an original nation. The original ideal hometown never existed! This mistaken world must be kicked back to the original world. Proclaiming and taking action for God is the Unification Movement way. The contents of this movement are absolutely centered on love. God's ideal, God's existence, everything is connected to that central true love place, the dwelling place of true love, true life, and true blood lineage. From where did humanity start? Not from the eyes, nor the nose, nor the head, but from your holy place-your sexual organ.
But is your sexual organ truly holy? Your blood lineage is stained, so salvation is not easy. People say, "If God has absolute power, why did He leave the world in such a miserable situation for so long? Why didn't He take away sin and raise up goodness? God has no power." Man's conclusion was, "God doesn't exist, God is dead."
Satan cleverly led mankind into secular humanism and free sex. Look at the misery of the American family system. Fathers and grandfathers have sexual relationships with their daughters and granddaughters. Satan has been accusing God: "God, look at mankind. You can't save them." What could God answer? How miserable God has been since He lost His Kingship. You don't know that, but I understood it so clearly! I proclaimed to Satan, "I will go the Principled way, centering on true love, climbing past the individual peak, the family peak, tribal peak, national peak, free and communist world peak. I made a new tradition uniting the races of the world.
I have built a worldwide foundation in the religious, political, and economic realms. I reclaimed God's ownership. How did I make that foundation? God worked in mysterious ways. I prepared for the coming heavenly fate time, when all levels from individual to nation would start to welcome and follow me. It is now that welcomeing time.
Do you like a victorious man? (Yes!) The individual victor is standing in front of you. The family victor is standing ion front of you. Can you believe it? You doubted me every step of the way, so after 20 years I am way ahead of you. Now can you believe me or not? (Yes!)
Heaven and hell were divided worlds, but I opened the gate that separated them and connected them to the true love race. I made the individual bridge to God's true love and then a true love bridge to the world. I had only one armament -- absolute love.
I connected nations, cultures and races. I even blessed people from enemy countries. Korea and Japan are historical enemies, but Father blessed them in l988!
At that time, Korean and Japanese leaders pleaded with Father to not go through with that Blessing. They reported that many Japanese were upset. The Korean nation responded the same, but I didn't care! I didn't take those satanic recommendations. They were in the archangel position, recommending that I avoid controversy.
I connected the free and communist worlds. If I made one mistake, the left side would have conquered the right side, creating such misery. But I changed everything around 180 degrees. The left side is crumbling down. This is the harvest time. Father started from the individual level, going the reverse course, rebuilding God's family, tribe, nation and world. Now God's original ideal, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in the spiritual world is appearing.
So you have to go back to the original and the final point. The final point is not family, tribe, nor national level-it is the individual level.
You have to go back to the original place, your hometown! This is the Divine Principle viewpoint. Just obey. Now in Korea, members are spreading out to their hometowns-Tong pang kyok pa! Your hometown includes formation, growth and perfection levels. Centering on your family, you must fulfill those three levels, and connect them to the tribe, nation, and world levels fulfilled by Father. You have to expand God's foundation horizontally. Satan will be driven out of every corner of the earth. When you build the foundation in your hometown, it won't take long to restore the world.
Do that immediately. You have a welcoming foundation. Reverend Moon is so famous. The past persecution is now being balanced out. The American atmosphere is different starting from today. Until now your parents and relatives united against us, but they understand in the bottom of their hearts how wrong they were. When you go back at first your parents will say, "Why did you come back?" But they have been hearing about Reverend Moon's patriotism in America. They will repent in front of you. No one will speak as tears flow on every face.
Going back to your tribe is such an easy way compared to Father's indemnity course. No matter how difficult it is, you have to go through this course, otherwise you have no hope, no eternal life, no future heavenly hometown. If you fulfill this point, your hometown will be raised up to heaven. We must restore the individual and family site. Don't follow Satan! Satan's world should follow us.
I clearly understood that I needed to settle in my hometown in Korea. Satan also understood, and worked through six successive Korean regimes to try to kick me away. But the seventh time Satan will no longer have power.
Now I am proclaiming messiahship. All people on both the left and right sides who don't follow me in the future will have no hope. No satanic power can eliminate or erase what I have done. I am proclaiming the elder son-ship, parent-ship, and kingship, right? You have to know those contents clearly. Who is the elder son? It is Adam. Who are the first parents? Adam and Eve were the first, worst parents-and we are connected to them. How can the True Parents' way appear? Only through true love. The first parents ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of evil, bequeathing their evil blood lineage to all generations. Contrary to that, you must follow the true love way. But your body is connected to Satan's love, Satan's life, Satan's lineage! Is it easy to separate from Satan? It is so difficult.
The providential way of salvation is the restoration way. Restoration is recreation. When God created the world, there was only one concept. We have to go back to the zero point before creating God's side. So the Bible teaches, he who wants to live will lose his life, he who can lose his life will gain it. What is the meaning? To want to lose one's life means losing Satan's life-cut from Satan. Otherwise there is no way for God to connect to you. Historically, evil prospered and goodness suffered. These directions are being exchanged. Now, good people will go up, bad people will decline. This is the crossing junction time, the zero point time. The free world has lost its way. Communism took the worst direction and now stands at the zero point.
The free world, with its brothership system, must follow parentship, otherwise there is no hope! You came from the worst parents and fought between brothers. Now, you must make a new history, whose contents are good parents, harmonious brothers, good tribes, good nations, good world. This is the completion of God's original purpose.
When Jesus died he went to Paradise, but could not get into Heaven. You can go into Heaven only as a family, not as an individual! That is why we need the Second Coming. Is Jesus Christ coming on the clouds? Parentship was lost on the earth and must be regained on the earth.
Today you have to clearly understand that and take up your mission. Don't take the wrong way! My mission is education, and I fulfilled that. Satan hid the truth, but I revealed everything.
So, where can the original true parentship, true kingship, and true elder son-ship be found? At the center of God's palace, true Adam's perfected family foundation. Adam's body is God's dwelling place. God gives love to Adam vertically and Adam gives love horizontally. God doesn't need power, knowledge, or money. He can create those anytime. But one thing He can't make, is true love. Love implies the existence of subject and object.
The established Christian world says, "Does an Absolute God need love?" But God says, "Like you, I need true love." God needs an absolute love partner, just as man does. Man's feeling is, "I want my love partner to be greater than me." Also, we want our children to be greater than us, the parents. Where did those two desires come from, originally? From God. That means God also wants partnership and children-ship. No matter how absolute a being God is, He needs a love partner and children and He wants them to be better than God Himself. Why did God create humankind? For love partnership!!
We have to return to the original individual and family. What is that? That is the elder son-ship, parent-ship and kingship, right? Adam was meant to be God's true love partner. How incredible! Once connected in true love, there would be no separation. For the first time in history, Reverend Moon has appeared and proclaimed clearly that Adam's unified foundation is fulfilled in me! Unless you inherit that, even if the outside world becomes unified, you cannot connect to it. You have to go the reverse course, denying Satan's concepts. Can you find true love through free sex and homosexuality? If children deny their parents, how can they connect to the vertical Parents' love? How can a true love tradition be established? When parents deny their children or couples deny each other, no love tradition is established. Satan separated everyone, sending them to the bottom of hell. God had to look down on that kind of miserable situation. So no matter how difficult the situation was I found myself in, I had to persevere.
If intelligent people hear the truth for one week, they will turn around 180 degrees, no problem. Communist ideology is so strong, but in one week's time Soviet leaders turned around 180 degrees. This is reality. The Soviet satellite countries recognize my desire to help them harmonize.
You must choose the way of repentance. The only remaining obstacle is pride, too much pride. Every minute the American national debt is rising. The American lifestyle shouts out, "We are high-level, proud people leading the world." But they are spending too much money, and now, America is crumbling. You Moonies have been survivors, leading a humble lifestyle. I trained you like that. I never think of my own economic benefit, but try to solve the problems of mankind. So we have to go back to the original site-our hometown. I accomplished everything in America and became the victor, no matter how much persecution came against me. Now I have to go back to my hometown because I am over 70 years old.
I coined a new phrase - "forgetting concept age". Even though I memorize some English in the evening, the next morning I can't remember. As a young man I could study ten or twelve pages and clearly remember. I have to learn English because I have to pull young Western people back from Satan.
You are still young, so you have no excuse not to learn Korean. You should read Father's speeches in Korean. Those speeches contain a wealth of knowledge and solutions to problems from the individual to the world level. Famous scholars are now studying Korean in order to read my speeches in the original language. Translating them into English is a shameful situation. Those famous professors will ask you how many years have you been in the Unification Church: "More than twenty years." "Do you know the contents of Father's speeches in Korean?" "No." "Then you cannot claim to be disciples of Reverend Moon." This is a serious issue, so I recommend that you please learn Korean.
You are so much younger than me. How can you be defeated? You have a good brain, so learning Korean in three years should be no problem. From now on, those who don't understand Korean cannot visit me in Korea. Shall you make a promise or not? (Yes!) The Pacific Era is coming, but who will lead it? God needs someone like me, who follows Him no matter how much difficulty comes to me.
You now understand your course. The short-cut is true love. Even the highest saint needs a love partner. God knew, before He created man, that He needed a horizontal love partner. Man's mission is to harmonize horizontally. Man stands on the East Coast and woman on the West Coast. Men and women should understand their need for a love partner, and meet in the center. No matter how many material objects a woman collects, if she cannot find a man, she feels no value. In the Garden of Eden, Adam was a man of action, and Eve wondered, "How can I unite with such a trouble-maker?" But through their give and take with God, they could begin to take steps toward each other. Overcoming one problem, they could take one step, overcoming something else, another step-toward the central position.
Where is Reverend Moon standing? Exactly in the central place. When you stand in that direct vertical line, God's love will come down, uniting you into one. Man has initiating power and woman has receiving power. As you come to the center and revolve in loving actions, you make an eternal sphere of love. Even God will follow that absolute love. Eternal true love is the center, not God. The subject and object form a partnership centering on love, embracing forever. You will revolve eternally, faster and faster, like a merry-go-round.
We are reaching the historical terminal point. Your hometown is where you will find true parents, true couples, and true children. That is the only place.
Now then, return to your hometowns! There you will restore Adam's victorious position. God wanted to connect in true love with the first parents-Adam and Eve, but could not.
Your grandparents are the same forever! Do you want to be separated from them? (No.) How about your parents? (No.) How about your spouse? (No.) How about your friends? (No.) You desire a completely unified family, surrounded by God's true love, revolving in love eternally.
In Adam's family, the Grandfather is God. Adam and Eve, centering on God, are the horizontal king and queen. God and True Parents unite vertically and horizontally into one through a ninety degree angle. Humanity receives God's love through the ninety degree angle. Once the sphere of true love is created, everyone can connect directly to the center. There are no losers.
What is true love? Satan invaded true love. Illicit love will lead you to hell. Jesus said, "If you want to follow me, you have to deny your parents, friends and spouse, otherwise you are not worthy of me." The simple conclusion is that you have to overcome fallen world love in order to attain spiritual life. Once you make that foundation, Satan's love world will disappear and God's love world will appear. This is the Messiah's mission.
So read the Bible, because it will teach about denying yourself. Everyone has to go over Satan's line. Even Christians are connected to Satan's foundation. You received the worst love seed from Satan, through your sexual organ. You have to receive a new seed centering on God's love. This is the main point of your tribal messiah mission. You must inherit God's life, love and lineage. If you didn't make that connection, you cannot go back to your original hometown, the ideal world. Is it clear now?
You have to fulfill that mission. It is your homework. Can you follow me, going over the mountain peak to the eternal site? In Korea, we are occupying the family site. Korea is the original nation, centering on True Parents. True Parents' native home is in North Korea, so how can we let Kim Il Sung occupy it? He will automatically have to leave, because I made so many conditions. He is in debt. Now, North Korea is welcoming me.
So inJuly, I proclaimed that the free world, communist world, religious world, and political world are united into one. I proclaimed that the world of mind and the world of true love have sovereign power. We are going to clean up Satan's world.
In the past you did not believe me. Now, take me seriously, for God is raising me up. No matter how strongly Satan's power persecutes me, I am going up, and the other side is going down. Satan can longer push us around. No matter how difficult the situation, we must overcome the fall! Our sexual organ is supposed to be the palace of heaven and earth-the love palace, life palace, and blood lineage palace. Father won the eternal love, life and lineage tradition! This is our unification family system.
When the vertical King of Kings connects to the horizontal Parents, it is so powerful. The third Adam's family is the central family eternally! Other families must receive their tradition and create one world culture. God's grandsons and daughters, true Adam's family, will be princes and princesses-that is you, humanity! True Parents centered on God, the King of Kings, are the royal family.
After the fall, many people wanted to become king. Every woman thought, "I want to occupy earth and heaven, including God." Actually, God wants to give us the position of royalty, fulfilling those desires. But after the fall, kingship was lost. The original mind was still connected to God, like a magnet. It was hidden by Satan's power, but when the absolute plus appears, it will pull all mankind's original minds to it.
Satan's world and concepts will try to prevent you from going to God's side. You must fight Satan's fallen lifestyle everyday, training your attitude. Which way should you go? Your nation's way, your parents' way, your culture's way? Or Reverend Moon's way? (Reverend Moon's way!) I don't know if you can do it. To create the vertical love position is the most difficult way. I experienced hellish waves of negative power coming against me, but I continued to stand at the center and proclaim the truth.
You must build your individual and family foundation, and unite it with your tribe and nation. This is your mission. All national, worldwide and cosmic conditions were fulfilled by Father. You will be making the horizontal foundation on earth. The family is formation level, tribe is growth level, and nation is perfection. Through that, every country will be connected to Father.
You have to go back to your family! Otherwise you cannot build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven. Now, I have to go over the peak of North Korea, Kim Il Sung. My hometown will include the individual, family, tribe, nation, and world.
I had to fight back up from the individual level when the established Christian world didn't unite with me. I was chased out to the wilderness alone, clearing the land, making fences, expanding the Unification Church. The United States couldn't fulfill the Providential expectation, and God's foundation was lost. England in the Eve position, America in the Abel position, and France in the Cain position should have united into one and then united with True Father! History was reaching its terminal point. The foundation of world Christianity was the bride to the bridegroom. This foundation was to connect to the Asian foundation. Why? Because Jesus Christ was crucified in an Asian area.
One cannot have children in the spiritual world. Children can only be multiplied on the horizontal earth plane. So you have to have many children, centering on true love. There are many senior citizens in America! They are your parents! You cannot separate from them. Three generations will fulfill the four-position foundadtion.
Father is creating the original true family for the first time on earth, the royal, God-centered family. This is the Kingdom of Heaven! You must feel the urgency of the last days. Go out in the tradition of Jesus's twelve disciples. Connect your foundation to the original Eden family system.
Father made a victor's foundation all the way up the cosmic level. What shall True Parents do now? Bequeath it to the true children. But the children didn't understand.
You must get a ticket! You must be registered in the original book of life. It is like a birth certificate. You must also register your tribe, centering on Parentship. Where can you get that certificate? Not from the national foundation but only from the individual and family foundation. So you have to go back to your hometown! Today! You have to pass through individual and family level perfection, making the original God-centered, true love centered palace. Then you will become royal palace members. You will have no more enemies, only praise. This is our last main goal. Shall you go to that settlement place or not? (YES!!!) Raise your hands! When you complete this, we will create the royal familyship, throughout the face of the earth.
Japanese, Americans, and Koreans, you have to forget your national concept. The only true way is the Love Parents' concept. A child has only one concept-to love and obey his parents. You have to go to the original settlement, your hometown. Tribal messiahs are in the position of Jesus Christ. Until you fulfill that foundation you cannot inherit the merit of the Second Advent.
There is only one time when True Parents are alive on the earth. All of your ancestors deeply covet your position. They endured so much suffering and persecution and died hoping to see the True Parents. The Christian world wanted Jesus Christ to return. How can their suffering be liberated? When God looks at their situation, He cannot stand it. But I understood how miserable their lives were.
The good parents' mission is to liberate that situation from the individual to the world level. It was such a heavy load, but now everything is liberated. The wind is changing direction. A hopeful time is coming. You only have to win your families. You must fulfill Jesus' mission. From there, restore the first Adam's position-your parents. Until now they have been so against the Unification Church.
Then, on the foundation of tribal messiahship, you can connect to the national foundation, which Father already fulfilled. Thus, the formation, growth and perfection levels can be connected directly, vertically, to the nation, world and cosmic center. The tribe center is not the center. The cosmic center is Father, who is vertically connected to God. Your ancestors will visit your relatives and witness to them. We will expand God's foundation on the earth.
Become good problem-makers!! What kind of trouble makers? True love trouble makers!! What is true love? True love means to invest everything, and then forget you ever invested.
Let me hear your voices! Will you go to your original homeplace? Do you want to become the royal family? Welcome it with a "mansei!" If you are ready to go, raise your hands!
