THE 38TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNIFICATION CHURCH, REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

Belvedere, New York May 1st, 1992 Translator - Sang Kil Han

The name of our church is the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, but we don't have to say that whole phrase. We can just say, "Holy Spirit Association." That is us. How old is the Unification Church? How long ago was it born? Thirty-eight years ago. Starting today, we enter our thirty-ninth year. As you know, we say the day someone is born he is already one year old. There are two ways of counting age.
Originally in God's providence, the Unification Church would never have been founded. If Judaism had united with Jesus, world Christianity would not have had to come into being either. At that time, the country-not just the religion-centered upon Jesus could have begun. The country of Israel centered upon Jesus would have been born and as they grew, the Cain-type country which was the Roman Empire would have been influenced. Thus the country would not have been a Christian country but would have been Jesus' own
country and would have formed the Kingdom of Jesus, rather than forming the religion known as Christianity. You all understand that point, don't you? If that had happened, the country would have inherited the kingship and would have inherited the world. It would have grown and expanded to the point where today, it would be the country centered on the world. Many other countries would have inherited perfectly the tradition of that kingdom of Jesus. It would have become like a big tree with many different branches. Jesus' country would have been the trunk and each nation of the world would have been another branch, all connecting to one trunk and one root. The leaves of that tree would have been individual men and women.
That huge, gigantic tree would have been one nation of God. The flowers and blossoms that bloomed would have been of one root, one tree. Even if you took the smallest leaf, it would contain all the elements of the huge trunk. The root, trunk, each branch and every little leaf would all contain the same elements. It would have been full of the spirit of the kingdom. The spirit of the root, spirit of the trunk-everything would have been contained within this tiny leaf, which means each individual.
When you look at one cell, it represents the entirety of the body from which it is taken. Who came into being first? Who is born first and who is born later? Depending on the order of birth, everything would have been connected. Then, of course, we can see clearly that Christianity would not have been necessary. What about other religions? Needless to say, other religions would have no meaning or reason to exist. If Jesus had not died on the cross but had continued to live and be successful in his mission, this would have been the case. However, that did not happen and the Second Advent in which the foundation of Jesus was inherited, became necessary. That foundation began on the national level but had to expand to the world level. Thus a new mission had to be undertaken which Jesus could not complete. Now it has to start only on the world level.
If the Lord of the Second Advent was welcomed by the foundation of Christianity's 2,000 years of agonized expansion, he would have proceeded in exactly the same way as Jesus would have; embracing the whole world and achieving his mission. Then the Unification Church would not have been necessary. That would have been God's dispensation.
Within Christianity there is Christianity of the Cain-type nature and Christianity of the Abel-type nature. It is the same religion, but there are those two factions. From Catholicism, the older form of Christianity, the Abel-type movement of Protestantism branched out. Just as each person has a body and mind, especially a conscience, Catholicism has a body and also a conscience. Even Cain has a conscience. Of course, Abel has a body and mind as well. Within the Unification Church there is such a thing as Cain and Abel. The underlying fact of creation is the relationship of subject and object. This is also true in restoration. The process of two who are divided coming into unity means advancement and restoration. Everything exists within the subject and object relationship. After the fall, that relationship became one of struggle, conflict and confrontation. Because of the fall, it looked like there were always two different parts or factions in continual struggle. Actually, conflict is not the way it was meant to be. We should win over that and be united and advance the dispensation of restoration.
This is true within the individual. Each person has a mind and body which are in conflict, but the purpose is to unite them. We must understand that only when Cain and Abel have become united together can we sit peacefully. Until that time, there is always a process of Abel winning over Cain and becoming one. [Father draws a sphere with three lines cutting through it on the blackboard.] This is Cain and Abel, the vertical and the horizontal relationships, and mutual relationship. Vertical relationship, of course, is that of parent and child. Horizontal relationship is that of husband and wife. Brotherly relationship is the dotted line Father drew. As the Last Days come nearer and nearer, this is the form that everything is coming to. We have to realize this form more perfectly. This has been the direction of history after World War II. Since then, Christianity and the whole world have been moving toward the achievement of this pattern. What does that pattern represent? It represents the perfect unification between father and son, king and people, and God and all creatures, from the right hemisphere to the left hemisphere. You can dissect the whole sphere into halves; an upper one and a lower one, or a right half sphere and a left half sphere. There is also a front and rear. The relationship of brothers is that of front and rear. To form a perfect globe, these come together. Why do we have to form a globe? It is because everything should have only one center. When there is disunity, how many centers will come into being? Two, three?
There is a center with a pivot or axis around which motion will take place. We see all things operate under one principle, whether large or small. That is the subject and object relationship always in motion and with a center. There is always a center which makes up the universe. What is the center of a woman? She has a father and a mother, she has her own brothers and sisters, but what is her center? By finding that center, she can relate with everything in the universe. In other words, by connecting with the center we can occupy everything. Centering on this hemisphere [pointing to drawing], where would the center be? The center is situated an equal distance from any point. So it has to have another hemisphere, and the center would be here. It is focused from this point, from that point, and from this point. Focused to all the surface area. That is the most ideal point.
That was God's first blessing after the creation: Grow, multiply, and occupy the earth. Thus perfection should have been reproduced. Do you think that mind and body are one, or is there division between them now? If this is God, with an upper portion and a lower portion, then where is that focal point or center? The focal point is the center not only for mind and body but for everything. That is where love can dwell. Here is man and here is woman. It cannot be that their focal points are different. They have to have the same focal point. So what is woman's focal point? Of course, it is her conscience or mind, but what is the purpose of that mind? For woman, it is man. There is no purpose in a woman by herself. After being born, a female has to grow to perfection. How can a woman become perfected? Man is her perfection. A woman has to become a being who is absolutely needed by man. She has to exist in such a way that the man absolutely needs her. The reverse is also true. The man must exist in such a way that the woman absolutely needs him. Man will pull woman and woman will push man. When the two meet like so, then do they become just flattened? No, they begin to turn around and around, becoming a sphere. What is their focal point? It is that unchangeable True Love. Once you position yourself with that center, you never change. You will remain eternally with that focal point.
We should not think, "My focal point is in me." The focal point of each person is in his or her spouse. What is marriage, then? Marriage means everything is okay, centering on True Love. You can put in everything, you can pull out everything and that is okay. That is freedom. Do you understand? Only in True Love does freedom exist. True Love is the center of woman and the center of man. Now we will represent woman by the dotted hemisphere. Should she go around man or in man? Well, is woman bone or flesh, compared with man? Who represents bone, man or woman? Man represents bone, woman represents flesh. Why is that? It is because man is the root of life, so he should stay in the center. Man represents the center root, center trunk, and center bud. Man should stay in the center position.
Anything that went through here is welcomed, like a pitcher and the catcher. The pitcher throws the ball and the catcher catches it every time. You throw it and it is always caught. Woman is very resilient and soft, while man is not so soft. He is hard. When something crashes into him, it breaks. That is not the case with woman. So the man should exercise like so, otherwise it will break. Woman makes a great catcher; the king of catchers. He throws, he pitches, and from the momentum behind it he attaches to woman. Woman is catching and circling one hundred and eighty degrees. Man is touching her, after that they turn around and embrace. Do you understand?
When you really understand this you cannot have any fights in your family. Should a woman's skirt be very tight, or should it flare out? Yes, it should have flare. A woman has a colorful, flared skirt and she goes around the man. That's where a woman's beauty is. At this point, all the creatures will praise that woman, "Oh, we welcome you, our Queen!" Women always like colorful things, don't they? The sisters sitting here are very colorful but over there, the brothers are wearing either black or brown. Bone is never colorful, it is only one color. The colorful nature of woman must be protected by woman herself. The white woman should not exercise tyranny and say, "Just white is good." Every color must also be protected. We can see that women, both black and white, express a lot of compassion, not men. Because she is a woman, white women have the responsibility to protect the black man. White is a good color as a base, but if everything is white it is monotonous. You have to blend with other colors. What about flowers? Are they varied and colorful, or monotonous? Whom do they resemble? Women. Some flowers are more colorful than others, but they should not be too proud. Usually the most colorful flowers don't have much fragrance, while the less colorful ones have a sweeter fragrance. In the same way, those most fragrant flowers often don't have so much honey. When the honeybee and butterfly come around, they will look at the very colorful flower and they will be drawn there, but they won't find honey. They just fly on until they find what they are looking for. They just stop by and enjoy the color, but that flower doesn't have life and hope for the bee.
We can look at women in this light. There are some women who are exceedingly beautiful. Someone who is praised by everyone for her looks may be like that colorful flower with no honey or fragrance. It can be a beautiful flower, but it may not have life or offspring. In the Orient we have a saying, "A beautiful woman has a thin blessing." This is a general rule. Actors and actresses are usually attractive. Do we often see ugly women becoming famous actresses? No, it is almost always the beautiful woman. In the movies, she is always famous and envied, but in real life she will eventually become a beggar. How sad that is! She cannot stabilize or settle down. Is that good? Blessing just spits her out. She has no place to settle for long. Those who say, "I want to be an actress no matter what," are saying in effect, "I can only live for one day in love." One day love, but even that is not real love. It is counterfeit. Do you like real love or shadow love? You American people like shadow love, don't you? Yes or no? I think yes! That is absolutely no good!
This is a very important principle for life. If you understand that and look at America from that criteria you see America is colorful, flamboyant and fun. Everything is exciting. Look at the women, some wear beautiful hats, but there is no flavor and no fragrance to the country. There is no bubbling life. We have to see from that perspective. We should not be envious of that situation.
These points I am making may sound far away from our topic today, but they are very important. This is one of the first times I have spoken about this particular subject. It is so important in our life, we should remember it. That is why I have been speaking about it. Do you want to become bone or flesh? Of course, everybody wants to become bone because it is more important. It is the longest lasting; it has eternal characteristics in the body.
What we are trying to understand is the entity which has the longest lasting and most important quality. Is it money or knowledge? The power of True Love may not appear to be the most beautiful, but it has everything. Bone is the strongest substance, but is it stronger than True Love? If you hit True Love with a bone, which one gets broken, the bone or True Love? Of course, the bone gets broken. The more you strike, the more diminished you become. This is what Satan has been doing. Satan strikes True Love again and again, but the result is that he is the one who is being reduced. Why doesn't God stop the persecution of goodness? Persecution means hitting, right? Good people get hit and hit over and over again. In anybody's eyes, including God's, that is not right, but God is not doing anything about it. Why? It is because He knows that the one who is being hit will eventually win and all the persecution will become fertilizer. The growth of True Love needs fertilizer. Do you understand? If the whole world comes and strikes this one person over and over again, but he is not destroyed and never breaks, then he becomes the king of all kings. Everything that strikes him will eventually be defeated. You might wonder if this is true or not, but it is true. I knew this truth from the very beginning, and thus I was able to continue throughout the history of our Unification Church. No matter how hard I was hit, I did not mind. Standing in that one center of True Love, everything hit me. All things came against me. Eventually everything else will disappear; the only thing left standing is that one center which stands forever. There is no enemy left. All of them have fallen and become fertilizer for the growth of True Love. How wonderful this phenomenon is! How wonderful we are! Mansei!
So the focal point for everything is True Love. Do you have True Love? [Yes.] Do you or don't you have True Love? True Love sounds good when I talk about it, but you may not have ever truly tasted it. You may recognize the sound "True Love" but you may not recognize the taste. The sound is not reality; the taste is reality. Do you understand? Is that true? The one who tastes True Love can live like God. Do you live like God, more than I do? You say "no". Which "no" are you saying- zero, nothing? Or know? The absolute nothing place is "no." Do we need that absolute focal point? True Love has such a large area which it embraces. Everything is okay within the realm of True Love. Even though all 240 million Americans may be put into that bag of True Love, will it burst or will it accommodate them? It will welcome everyone. It stretches like rubber to make room. Even if you throw that big rubber ball a long distance, it won't break. You can throw it but not off the center; you cannot get out of the center. That's how you do it. Does America have any center? Does anyone know what it is? Is it money? Is it family? No, America doesn't have any true center. Absolutely no center point-that is America. Americans put their premium value on freedom. What kind of freedom? Freedom that doesn't have any true center.
Americans don't like to hear these kinds of criticisms. You might ask, "Why does Father speak about this point so frequently?" Has anybody ever heard me stand up here and praise America for a change, even once? That's what Father's purpose is. You Americans are so high up on a tree. You have no foundation but live way up in a tree, so somebody has to bring you down. In America, one man can move from loving one woman to another. Throughout the day he has no center point. He moves around in many different circles without any center, but I tell you, once Americans come down and stay firmly on the ground, I will start praising them. Can you believe that I might actually praise America? [Laughter.] Even though you may not like to hear the things I say about America, it's best if you can accept it.
It is not power, knowledge or material things that exist at the true center. It is love itself, True Love. If some woman gets married because the man has billions of dollars, is she a good woman or a bad one? What should she be looking for in a man? Where do you think it is most likely that True Love can be found? In the White House? Or would it be in some lowly place like a labor camp or some back alley, or in prison? Of course, you have never been in either of those extremes, but where do you believe True Love would be most likely to dwell? You know well; it is in the most miserable places, those places which are corrupt and surrounded by suffering. True Love plants itself in that place and says, "I will remain at this center forever so that I can protect this place. The True Love concept says this to you clearly. Is this right or not?
Through True Love, can you unify your five senses with the five senses of your love partner? Making that unified center represents True Love. Can you make a settlement for one through True Love? If you have True Love in your bosom would you be stronger than anything in the world, like a diamond? The diamond can reflect even the slightest bit of light in the darkness. The diamond is the hardest known substance on earth, but there is something harder and that is True Love. How is that? You can say that God is the True Love center; God who is the strongest, most powerful, above everything. He is harder and stronger and emits more light than anything, for the whole world. Knowing God is like that and since we know God is the center of True Love, then we can say that True Love is also hard and bright. It is like a lighthouse beacon shining through the night.
Everybody in all four corners of the world wants to go over that hardness and unite. Satan is pushing them much too hard so they want to come into God's side. The world is so dark that people don't know which way to go or what to make of anything. Yet man wants to get out of that darkness and find the light which is God. That's True Love. What else do we need? The focal center of everything is what? True Love. Thus we cannot say that True Love is only a conceptual thing. It is reality, just as God is a reality. [Pointing to drawing on board.] This upper hemisphere is spirit world and the lower hemisphere is the physical world. The upper one should be the same as the lower one, then they unite and become a globe. What is the center? Absolute True Love. Front and rear have the same relationship. So three different beings have three different focal centers, but they do not repel each other, saying, "Oh, I cannot accommodate that." By becoming selfless, they can come to accommodate any focal center any time. and all three can become one. The point here is that even though three different entities exist, each exists for the sake of others, not for his own self. Even though he has a center, that center exists for the sake of others. Then there is no problem. We should look for the zero point all the time. If you become a zero point, all the higher pressure will come toward you. If there is a huge high pressure system and a zero point which is like a vacuum, and that vacuum runs very fast and very far, would the high pressure follow or would it not? Which way does it go? Does the vacuum follow the high pressure or does the high pressure follow the vacuum? Yes, high pressure follows the vacuum or zero point. Why? Because that is the unifying place for nature. That is the nature of love. In there we find happiness and peace. Otherwise, there is no way. Only in the unifying place can it be possible.
So upper hemisphere and lower hemisphere, right and left, front and rear-all are perfected now. Where does God dwell then? God is the king of the zero place. That is where God wants to stay; the Zero King's place. Do you understand? To meet God of that nature, we must become even lower than zero or become so strong that we can protect the zero place like the flesh should surround the bone. Either we can protect it or we must become lower than the zero point. Can we take that kind of position? Can you do that? It is easy to answer "yes," but the reality is not so easy. Mind you, this is what all religions have been doing. This is what Buddhism has been doing; to search in your mind for the deepest areas. Also, all religions teach people to endure hardship and to do penance. That's where persecution comes in. That's what all major religions taught: to persevere these things. Without exception, all major religions have taught people to go down even into miserable situations, into that zero point.
How can we apply this? For women, you even have to forget the fact that you are women. The only thing you can remember is, "I exist for the sake of all." The same is true for a man. By doing that, what happens to a man and a woman? That is the very safest place to be. You can become anything and do everything well from that point. You become a good wife and a good mother. Everybody will come to you. Here is the proof of the theory. You have to be able to explain something theoretically or by reason before you can experience it. You can establish the reasoning, the theory of the True Love concept. How can we find the power to invest ourselves and then forget it? You can explain this by understanding the relationship of these three sets of hemispheres. Subject and object relationship exists within all creatures, not only these three. The relationship with all things goes through this central point of True Love. This line which Father is drawing now, which does not go through the center, is as clear as the others but it does not mean anything because it does not pass through the center. No matter how many other points that line connects with, if it doesn't connect with the center point of True Love, it does not have meaning.
This is the very principle where the original human being would have been; the original country, original cosmos, every level. Since we are not at that level we have to return to that point. How can you find out the center focus place of your mind and body and unite them? How can man and woman find their original focus point? That is True Love. Only True Love allows you to combine your mind and body. A True Love center connects them with one vertical pillar at one pivot point. One dot then becomes the center of the individual, the family and the tribe. they all have the same center. The nation, world and cosmos, and ultimately God himself-all have the same center, one pivot point, one pillar. Do you understand? That True Love point cannot be moved forever. Forever there is one center, not two. Until now, humankind hasn't been able to find that original True Love center point. How can we find that point?
Before this, nobody knew this truth. Only after Reverend Moon came and appeared in this world was this truth proclaimed clearly for the first time. Now you can understand everything; how to connect with the individual center point, the family center point, the tribe, nation, world, cosmos and God. All are connected to this one vertical pillar of True Love. The True Love King's vertical pillar is only one, not two, forever. Eventually the Kingdom of Heaven will come on the earth. The center point on this earth and the center point of the spiritual world will be the same, connecting in a vertical line. That dot in the lower position and that dot in the higher position connect with that pillar. All 360 degrees surrounding it stay forever, it cannot move. This is absolute tradition.
You have to follow your mind too which is man and woman's center focus point of True Love. That means this pillar is connecting everywhere. Family and relatives are the same, nation, world and cosmos, even God, are all connected and made completely one by that same pillar. That is the unified world. It is clear? Your eye will be able to look at this forever point. The settlement of True Love will be your focus point forever. Your ears, your nose, your touch; every sense will be focused on that center point. If you go out, come back to that original place, there is no different place. That place of safety, that forever place is the Blessing place. No outside power can move that center point. That means we will be connected all the time with the absolute being, who is God. Each person will be able to say, "How wonderful I am! How wonderful that so many precious things represent me. Mansei!" That is the place of happiness and hope, peace and love. All humankind yearns for that point. If you don't connect with that forever point, you will lose everything. No matter how beautiful a situation you may enjoy on this earth, it will have no meaning in the spirit world. No matter how many wonderful things we have in this world, they will not have value in the spirit world of eternity. We must connect ourselves, our children, family and relatives to this central point of True Love so that we will be connected forever. They are surrounding and praising you. Why? Because of your work, you have that kind of result.
In the past, when my English was not good at all, I never knew whether the translations were good or not, but now I feel that the translations go from one thing to another, so it's best that I speak directly to you. That's why I have been telling you for so long to learn Korean. You can learn more through Korean than through English. Now I am erasing these things which we have drawn on the board to illustrate these very important points. You should memorize that you were born in the flesh connecting to the True Love basement. The point on which you settle down is based on that original site.
What is the topic of the sermon this morning? The point is that the fall took place. The fall became our reality. The fact that mankind became fallen is more real than this country of America. That fact is more real than your own name. No matter how much truth and knowledge there may be on earth, the fact that mankind has fallen is most central. Do you treat yourself as a fallen person? Do you speak to your own body, saying, "You fallen arms, legs, hands and senses!" Do you treat yourself like that? Have you ever stopped to think that your eyes, your nose, your mouth, everything is undeserving? Have you ever thought about what they don't deserve? Everyone likes to touch soft things, but because people have fallen you shouldn't think about that at all. Have you ever really chastised your eyes, "You ugly eyes that want only to look at beautiful or attractive people. You have to take the opposite way and look at ugly people, ugly things." You should feel whenever your eyes see something beautiful, they are not worthy. Your nose, too, when it smells something wonderful should not feel worthy. Your mouth, your sense of touch, your whole body is fallen. A fallen thing cannot be beautiful until it is restored. American women may ask, "Well, from what you are saying, where do I stand?" The answer is nowhere. Once you realize that, then you can begin to stand somewhere, to have some position in the sight of God. Do you agree? You may not like it, that is true. As a fallen woman, you should feel, rather than that you have beautiful hair, that you should burn it up. Have you ever stopped to think like that? "I should burn these feet, like a beef steak, and feed them to the rats." [Laughter] Really, have you ever denied yourself to such an extreme?
We have to know that the fall is reigning over everything in the world, and we must feel how bad, how formidable that fall is. The fallen condition is occupying everything and taking the king's position. We must press it down, cast it into the dungeon of hell, everything that has to do with the fall. When you feel hungry, before you go to eat, before you sleep, before you even feel the urge for sex, always think, "The fall of man is so terrible I can never win over it by myself." Then say, "Well, if nobody ever lets me eat or sleep or enjoy life, that is all right. That is just." This is the inevitable course we must go.
Now Father gave us the overall meaning of the birth of the Unification Church, but the essence that you need to remember this morning is that the whole world has fallen; it is in a fallen condition. We must come to realize, to jolt ourselves, that whatever we are thinking, whatever we are doing, even just looking and hearing, everything is within the realm of the fall. Our direction is to go over that, not to be a part of it. Is it appropriate for a woman who is in the fallen position to be looking for the most beautiful clothing or is that very far from right? Yes, it is very far from correct. That is because that woman is extending the tradition of the fall a little bit further. Obviously, that is what she is doing. Isn't it generally true that everyone who lives a luxurious life here on earth will end up in a miserable place in spirit world? Isn't that what the Bible speaks about? Here is the dividing point [pointing to board] and if you are living just slightly above and on the comfortable side, then you go to this level of hell, just a little bit below. But if you are living way up here, on the very well-to-do level, then you would fall down into the deepest hell in spirit world. All it takes is one step. We are living like so, and if we shift our weight into here, it's heaven. Like the 38th parallel in Korea; that's the line of demarcation between goodness and badness. God's world and Satan's world are separated by a line of demarcation; Heaven and hell. By going to the zero point as a fallen person in Satan's world, you can slip across the line into God's world. The Unification Church's concept is like that. The left leg is connected to Satan's side so how can we walk straight? It is not so easy.
The answer to the question of how people can get out from under the domination of Satan is that it is not an easy way. You must go into the place of constant denial. Do you follow me? These are not just Father's words. How can you deny that? Nobody can deny that. You American women, is this true? You agree with me. Reverend Moon is a clever man, right? You may figure, "Since he is such a smart guy, I will follow Reverend Moon." I am always taking you to the safest place, the zero place. I tell you, "Go down, everyone," but you complain loudly, making lots of noises. No matter how much noise you make, I don't care. I just keep on pushing you. I will kick you if you don't follow Father's commandment. It is not a happy situation. Do you welcome this place of the zero point? Do you want to come down to that place where I am always pushing you to go?
As you know, during the Korean war a lot of communist soldiers captured in the South were put in P.O.W. camps. They themselves were not communists. They were soldiers for the communists, but they wanted God's side, as well. So the late President Rhee opened up the prisons and let them out. The American government was so angry because he did that. Father feels that is something which he was shown to do. Even though you don't even know that you are in a prison camp, and you have no idea of how to get out, Father will open up the door and shout, "Go out! Get out!" even forcing you to get out to the point where you complain. The next day after you are finally free, you will be so thankful. You will say, "I didn't even realize I was in a prison camp but you came along and led me out. Thank you so much." That is a zero point exchange, like a prisoner exchange. Satan says, "I will give you this if you give me that." The only place where this kind of exchange is possible is that absolute zero point. Do you welcome that? We should know where we are. Are we in enemy territory, north of the 38th parallel, or are we clearly south of that 38th parallel, on God's side? We do not even know sometimes. It may take only one step to cross the line either way. No matter how happy we may feel in one particular area, we may not know we are dwelling in enemy territory and therefore we cannot remain happy.
"Tarak" means fall. What is the fall? "Fall" sounds the same as the Niagara Falls. English is too complicated with too many meanings. Tarak has only one meaning. Say it. "Tarak." Not"Darak", but "Tarak." Darak means closet. So say it. Tarak, tarak, tarak. It means hitting down.
Our first ancestors were the only people at that time, and they were the ones who committed the fall. They understood the reality of the fall. They experienced the way the fall completely covered their lives, covered everything. We, too, should know the reality of the fall. It was such a powerful cover that nobody could get outside of it until now. Everybody has been struggling within the tent, the covering of the fall. Do you follow? We should implant within ourselves a sense of the fall. More than sleep, more than eating, that sense is important. Whatever urge you may have, whether it is the urge to eat something, to sleep at some time, to go to see some beautiful sights such as the Washington cherry blossoms, before any such urge, you must remember that the fall took place. Think, "I am the result of the fall. Therefore, I am acting out of that fall." All beautiful women like to dress up in beautiful clothes and high heeled shoes and go out eating and dancing. You are the fruit of fallen humanity. There is rottenness inside. God is looking for something good. The cover may be beautiful but inside is rotten. This is Satan's arrangement. Satan is shooting arrows to kill. You are Satan's target, Satan's field. We have to know that.
How can we wake ourselves up? This is most important thing. Your mind is part of God's side, while your body is your enemy. Mind and body have been fighting continuously throughout history. No one could stop that war. This is a most fearful situation. This is the Tarak concept. Before you do anything like sleeping or eating you must realize that we are the result of the fall. We are not normal. Until we realize this, the purpose of religion cannot be accomplished and there could be no way for America to survive. The individual, family, nation and world have fallen into hell. Once they've fallen down how can they go over this barrier? Once you are in hell what shall you do? How can you liberate yourself? It will take thousands and thousands of years of agony and still you cannot do it. These are fearful words for you. It is like waiting in front of a monster with an open mouth who is ready to swallow. You live in that kind of fearful world. Reverend Moon understood this kind of situation clearly. All the world came against me but I don't care. I had to take much persecution. When your situation is full of persecution compare it with that dungeon of hell. The time in this world is short compared with the eternal life of spirit world so Father took persecution his whole lifetime. Is this reality, or not? Even jail was waiting for me. The individual foundation, family foundation, nation and world must all be restored. No matter how strong you are, you cannot go over all those eight levels. No one can make liberation for you. Every time Satan tried making a fence around me I kicked it down. All American government departments including the CIA combined against me. No matter how strong the outside world is against me, I don't care. I will always tear it down. Can American people continue to persecute Reverend Moon? No. Now they respect me because I have survived the bottom place. They say, "We need Reverend Moon. Please remain here." Young people are going down and causing more destruction in this country. Who can save them? American people understand clearly that their secular power cannot save them. The younger generation cannot be saved by military power or knowledge power. Political power cannot save them. The surrounding sound is one of agony. All the surrounding countries shout, "Yankee, go home! We don't need you or your breed." The True Love breed is represented by the Unification Church. We don't need any other breed. Otherwise we cannot save the next generation. Famous American people recognize that Reverend Moon has the power to save the next generation. They cannot deny that reality.
Once we realize the reality of the fall, we realize we need a remedy. We have to heal this problem. Somebody has to write the prescription to treat the ailment. Only Reverend Moon can do this. Say it: Tarak. Write it down: tarak. We must understand it clearly. We have to break down Satan's world with our two fists. Push out Satan's world. When you shave each morning, you are shaving a fallen beard. When you are picking your nose, you are picking the fallen nose. Every motion you do, always think, "I am the result of the fall." If we don't do that, we cannot get out of it. First we must know the problem; who we are and why we do what we do. Even you women who make up your face should think, "I actually do not want to wear makeup, but I have to because I have to go along with the fallen world." You have to have a different reason for making up your face. Even though you are doing a lot of the same things as people in the outside world our direction is different. It is 180 degrees different. You say, "Oh, why is the Unification Church so complicated?"
What is the second reality of the fall which is most important? It is lineage. Father and Mother are bringing the lineage which connects you to life and love. Behind us there is lineage. Everything you have, every cell in your body, you inherited. You breathe in and out and you have blood flowing in your veins. Blood is pulling life all throughout our life. The blood which is running through you is what you received from the act of love between your mother and father. This blood lineage has increased parents' life and parents' love. Isn't that true? I myself come to represent their life and love.
Whatever we are thinking has its origin in the fall. Whether that be part of the great country of America or whatever. Without exception, it comes from the fall. How can America be truly great? The Anglo-Saxon lineage, the white race too, is a result of the fall. Does that race belong to the satanic side or God's side? Without exception, that race belongs to the satanic side. You know, England was the home for pirates. Isn't that what the people there have done historically? They took everything by power, establishing their own kingdom far from God. They forced their own ways upon the people they occupied. Isn't this the way history went? Anglo-Saxons didn't understand the law of cause and effect which the Orientals have known. The white people tried to annihilate the Chinese race in the Opium War, but now, as a result of that the white people are suffering from so much drug abuse. Cause and effect are undeniable. No matter how strongly they try to deny this, they cannot. It is stronger than they are. So there is truly nothing to be so proud of; it is all from the fall.
The blood flowing through the youth is from Satan's lineage. That big viper, Satan is always trying to speak in beautiful words. He disguises himself, hiding behind good arguments, but then he shoots his poison which immediately destroys his prey. While he is saying, "I love you," to the side he is saying, "I will destroy you." Once he hits, he destroys everything. That's what Father literally had to fight against. When Father saw something which attracted him, he immediately realized the identity of it so he did not even want to look at women or at people dressed in a unique way. He didn't. Father expected a lot of temptations. However, temptations don't come to you up front, announcing, "This is a temptation." Everything comes secretly, sneaking up on you. I have watched for these things all my life. You should too. You must defend yourself. My normal way is to always chastise those of you who are sitting at Belvedere in the front row. You are the only ones who are sitting close to me. Everybody else is far away. Once you know, then nothing matters. Once we know, then we don't need to worry about it. No matter if Father gives attention to the sisters in the front row, Mother would not complain. That's affection. We have a lot of enthusiasm in our blood, but right behind that is Satan. He is trying to usher us into his palace. The front door of Satan's palace is wide open and he is saying, "Please come on in here!" Once you are in there, he swallows you up. You are his prisoner. Is that an enjoyable place or a deadly place? You young people in the Unification Church, have you ever been encouraged to go out on dates, enjoy yourselves and have a good time? Did anybody ever encourage you to do that? Let me ask you, when young women and men like each other and they come close, holding hands, does your blood get excited or not? It is like a volcano, rushing up and through you, but that power can destroy you! Father knew that clearly. That is why I always said, "Don't take that kind of action." That is the normal situation.
Look at the animal world. They only come together to mate at certain times of the year, many of them only in the spring. The rest of the year, they don't have much to do with each other. When the time is right, they get together in order to multiply their children. Love is most precious to them. Human beings have been granted the unique privilege of expressing their love any time. Love making is the most precious power but the fall broke down everything. Now the love action became the worst power. Taking love action increases Satan's world, not God's position. The sexual organs are the worst palace, the dirty love palace, dirty life palace, dirty blood lineage palace. People of the fallen world didn't know that until now. This is the most fearful place for humankind. Originally it was the most precious place, the True Love palace, true life palace and true blood lineage palace. It was the most valuable place. God dwelt in that place so God made it a very safe place within man and woman. It was the holiest place. That most holy place was created by God as the connecting place to True Love, true life and true lineage; those three. So it is the most valuable place. God is the absolute vertical owner. The horizontal owners are husband and wife; forever. Do you understand?
Once God permitted it, Adam and Eve were intended to open up their most holy places. Do you understand? The Unification Church took that original position. Father, standing as God's representative, as True Parent, gives God's permission connecting couples that for the first time they may open that True Love place; the place of love, life, lineage palace. Otherwise, absolutely no one could open it. This world has wanted that kind of point, but they could not do that. Why? They do not recognize the contents of this explanation. From now, you can understand everything clearly so that you can follow. Ultimately you will connect with that righteous point. That is the original way.
Lineage is fuson in Korean. Our hands and fingers move and that is because we have blood. Our blood is well united with our life. Life is well united with love. Therefore, we can move our fingers and hands as a result of love. This is the action of love. We have to realize that. That's lineage. Which is more precious: blood or life or love? The first one is love. The second is life. The third is blood lineage. These three cannot be separated. Love first, life second, and blood third. Those are always connected, everywhere and every place. We can feel our own pulse. What is the pulse? It is the life power, the love power and the blood power. The fall connected that pulse with Satan's love, Satan's life and Satan's lineage. How miserable the situation for humankind is now. We need the prescription to get back to health. Nobody knows that prescription. Until Reverend Moon came on the earth, nobody knew Satan's identity. Satan was safe. Only after Father came out was Satan uncovered and his secret was exposed. Father has been the one whom Satan hates the most. Satan did a lot of incredible things. He inspired people to kidnap their own children from the Unification Church. What does that mean; kidnapping one's own children? Where were their children? Why did they go there? Satan did a lot of inconceivable things, unthinkable things. Men kidnapped women, women kidnapped men. Extreme things happened. Even children kidnapped their own parents who had joined the Unification Church. These kinds of incredible things were inspired by Satan because he wanted to prevent our work.
The communists tried to stop Reverend Moon and so did the American government. They wanted to wipe out the Unification Church. The outside world wanted to do whatever they could to destroy Reverend Moon and the Unification Church, but God did not permit it. Father offered every place they hit, making it a fertilizer and using that power for God. That power grew up and up, vertically. Now at last we are at the top peak of that power. America cannot destroy the Unification Church. Neither can the White House. George Bush cannot do it either. The world did not know that, but in the future, the world will understand Reverend Moon and say, "Please lead us, Reverend Moon. We welcome you and want to give you citizenship and a permanent visa." I don't need that kind of thing. That is Satan's armament equipment. It is clear. Father could leave this country any time. Father's visiting mission is over. He will be working only with the Asian world. Say "Goodbye Father." At that time is individualism going to invade and infiltrate the Unification Church here? My mission here is over now. Do you understand? I resurrected the Christian world. Now the people of America are waking up and taking action for this country's future. That is represented by the U.S.A. activity.
In April the goal for holding rallies in 250 big cities was accomplished. From now on, there must be 2,500 places connecting to that movement. The American people and the Christian churches are awakening. Following Reverend Moon's direction is the only hopeful way for them to move toward resurrecting a happy world. Now American people understand. They say, "We didn't know that." Once they hear the contents of Divine Principle, they will understand. They didn't know that the truth dwelt here in the Unification Church. They will seriously repent for their past actions. They treated Reverend Moon so badly, but they will understand everything from an historical viewpoint. Until now the Western world has been leading the Eastern world but now the tide is moving in a different direction. The Eastern world will lead the Western world, no matter how much Americans deny that fact. It is heavenly fate that this kind of situation will come about. The Asian world will be respected and followed.
Japan is just a small island country. They have great knowledge power. Americans say, "We don't like those small Japs." But Americans can't deny them. God protected them and heavenly blessing came to them. Heavenly fate connected the Korean peninsula and the Japanese islands. Islands represent woman's side. A peninsula is like the man's side. A peninsula looks like a man's sexual organ. The Italian peninsula looks the same. It projects into the surrounding Mediterranean Sea which is like the woman's sexual organ. They make a connection there.
By the same token, the Korean peninsula is like the man's sexual organ. Japan is like a woman's organ. Now the two combine into one. Who is making that happen? Father has proclaimed the fact that Korea and Japan will become one nation. In the surrounding area you find China and the former Soviet Union. This is a growing territory of the heavenly breed, the love race. China will say, "Welcome, welcome." The Soviets will say, "Reverend Moon and Reverend Moon's disciples, please come in anytime and anywhere within the Soviet or Chinese area." They want us there. They want the most precious gift, something more valuable than their territory. Do you understand? The Soviet government is welcoming Reverend Moon now. Young people are being connected. There is only one person who is a hero they respect and that is Reverend Moon, not Yeltsin and not Gorbachev.
The American CIA looks at this and through their analysis they will make the decision, "We did wrong." Think about that. At the valuable center, there is only one, Reverend Moon.
Genius students from famous Ivy League schools are now being chosen to go to Moscow. Students from high level American universities like Harvard are gathering in Moscow and being taught by Muscovite students. What a miserable situation this is for American youth. After hearing Reverend Moon's principle concept, they are so surprised, even the professors. "The Unification Church has this kind of strong, valuable tool? We didn't know that!" That is bad. It was being taught in their own place. Reverend Moon proclaimed this truth in every state in America. They heard but they did not follow. The people of this nation have no future. They listen to rumors that make them separate, analyze and make incorrect decisions.
It never mattered how much America's 240 million people came against me. Reverend Moon was hit again and again. Only Reverend Moon is left standing and the righteous atmosphere has become clear. What shall we do? There is only one way to go. Kneel down with your head down. Cry with water coming from your mouth and nose. Repentance is the only way. Other than that there is no way. Reverend Moon did it. That means the Western world must bow down to the Eastern world. Their historic positions will be reversed. This is God's perspective and viewpoint. No matter how much American people cry out, the morning time will come. No matter how much they want the evening time, they cannot stop it. The evening can't last forever, the morning time is coming.
Reverend Moon is saving the Western world with the brotherhood concept. He is making Cain and Abel into one. The Eastern world and the Western world are standing in the ideal subject and object position. In the center is parentship. There, real unification is being made. Do you understand? This is not concept, it is reality. Father did everything. This explains everything. No matter how much you may deny it, you must follow this way. Don't look around you, don't be distracted by sounds behind you, only follow the repentance way. That is like Jesus.
When John the Baptist talked in the wilderness, the first thing he said was, "Repentance!" He said the kingdom of heaven was near. Jesus said the same words. John resurrected people with water. After the coming of Jesus, he carried out resurrection with fire. People who didn't believe that prophecy were in a miserable situation. Those who believed in what John said made a big sound, making too much noise. Those following Reverend Moon make too much sound, spreading to all four corners of the country. There is no place people live where they do not know Reverend Moon's name and message. All American people know who Reverend Moon is, don't they? Do they think he is good or bad? Standing here, Reverend Moon makes a proclamation by God's command. "Follow me. If you go against me, you immediately go against God." For 2000 years, the Christian world has only been taking the persecuted way. After World War II, in just forty years Christianity has sunk to a miserable situation. Why? They made a secular atmosphere by going against Reverend Moon. Reverend Moon is connected with God. Father is the center of the terminal point of the providence. They wanted to destroy him, but God protected him.
The most valuable thing is the second generation. American young people are not following American Christianity. Satan's side has claimed them. American youth have taken the path of going 180 degrees opposite of the Christian way. How can they be protected? There is only one man who has the power and that is Reverend Moon. Do you understand?
How can Reverend Moon do that kind of powerful, valuable thing? Reverend Moon has that power taught by God's truth. Without this, you cannot have a true purpose, you cannot be successful anywhere or anytime.
You have to think about this. Talk every chance you get. Talk about Satan's world. It looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. There is a variety of concepts, but there is only one center. The focus point is the zero point. That is the dwelling place of the ideal True Love. All things are focused on that, nature and human beings. When we connect with that center love, Satan's side diminishes. When you focus on that center, you immediately connect with God's territory, God's side.
This should be the focus of your eyes, your ears, your hands. It is the center direction. When all your senses are focused there, immediately your sexual organs will follow. All will connect in one place with one center. The center of everything is True Love. Everything in the world, including human beings are divided into plus and minus. Their unity is the True Love way. All following True Love go in one direction. At the head is True Parents. They are leading the way and the entire universe is following behind. In that realm, everything is enjoyable not miserable. Mind and body unite and form an individual truth entity. The same value center will be found on every level; the individual value center, the family value center and world center. They will all share the same value. This is equalization of the original, ideal creation.
This is a spiritual teaching, but Father also has to teach you about physical things. Now I am going out to the ocean to fish, but at this rate, it would take me many hours to explain. At any rate, I will continue. Number three: three is hell. The stage of conclusion or perfection of the fall is hell itself. The terminal point is hell! Whether or not people want to go there, they will have to go there. They cannot escape. Those of you who can say to me, "Father, I am confident I will never go to hell," raise your hands please. Of course, you don't know enough about the fall because that fallen lineage can claim you. The lineage connected with Satan enables Satan to claim you. Satan is the king of hell. Do you understand? You are ultimately connected to hell. You cannot escape that place. It doesn't make a different whether someone has a degree from Harvard or if he is the president of the country. Without exception, where will they end up? In hell. That doesn't make you feel so good. All 240 million American people will go to hell.
To stop that from happening is, of course, the purpose of the religious movement. Have you ever stopped to think about the greatness of the Unification Church where these most ambiguous, difficult problems of history are being solved? Now even the smallest Unification Church member knows clearly and also has the system to explain the truth in language for even the greatest intellectual minds. Can you imagine that most of the library books which are of this nature have ceased to have a reason to exist? All those books which purported to contain truth but which had nothing to do with this central teaching will be cast out. They are unnecessary to anybody. All those archives and libraries full of archaic philosophies-what do we need with them? Many of the library books will cease to exist from now on. Can you imagine that? Once you understand truth and the fact that the Unification Church has that truth, then you can argue with intellectuals and you can certainly win them over, convincing them 100%. If you are not so confident now, then just wait. As time goes on, it becomes more and more clear.
You may not know why at first, but as time goes on, it becomes clear why free sex and homosexuality are wrong. Mankind is seeking stimulation which they should be getting from God's love. Fallen love is the equipment Satan is using to destroy God's ideal world. Don't touch. A man is smoking, dating women; it immediately leads to connecting their sexual organs. Drunken men and women easily engage in free sex. This is Satan's armament for destroying God's ideal world. We understand clearly that this is the enemy's weapon so you cannot touch that and cannot see that. That is how we can make God's world. Those women who are anxious to find a husband who smokes cigarettes, drinks a lot and indulges in free sex, raise your hand. Is there any woman like that? How about men? Do you want that kind of woman as your wife? Yes? No? Most American people say yes, because that is the way they themselves are going. American people follow everything Satan does. The outside world says yes, but you are saying no. You are the "inside" world. Which one will follow the other? The outside world will follow the inside world more and more in the future.
Say this: Chiok. Chiok means hell! Do you like hell? Many times American people seem to be saying yes, they like hell, but you must say strongly, "No, absolutely no!" Forever and absolutely say no to hell. You have to know that concept. With that attitude, you can make a new nation. We have to deny the direction everyone else is taking. To deny means not just in concept, but also to become restored out of it. Thus we have restoration by indemnity. What is the solution to the fall? To deny the fall. How do we deny the fall? By indemnity. The American Unification Church is the one in the world which does not know so much about indemnity, about going the way of misery. You ask, "Why must we be miserable? Why can't we enjoy ourselves while we are being restored?" I too, would like an easier way, but you cannot get out of Satan's realm by enjoying yourself. You have to overcome that realm and kick it out. Otherwise there will be no hope for heaven.
To avoid hell, we have to restore by indemnity. Is Reverend Moon a wise person or a foolish person? Why do you say I am wise? Don't I do everything backwards according to the standard of the world? How is it that a wise man can always be persecuted and opposed? They opposed all they could and now they have gotten tired of it. Even those who are still opposing Reverend Moon are following him, too. They say that Reverend Moon is growing stronger and stronger. Kim Il Sung is like that, too. He said, "Don't follow, don't go there." It is very ironic. That's true. The American White House has looked at Reverend Moon and said, "He's not so bad. He's so good! Very much good! He is too powerful in the Washington area." That feeling is good. We are making an influence. They want to stand next to Father. From now we are completely making the unified world. They are awakening to morning time. This is the dawning, the darkness has been destroyed. People have no explanation for this. All people, all creatures, even the birds are coming into the light. They follow the sun. In the darkness Satan made noise so they followed him in the past, but when the morning comes it is different. The world's morning time is coming. The sun is rising on the Unification Church foundation. Reverend Moon's name is bringing resurrection to America and all the free world. From now on, the third world will look more to Father. The only hopeful point for leaders of third world nations is Reverend Moon. They know in the past he was the guy who made the most noise. They didn't like that, but they see that where he made the noise good things have followed. The time is coming for a joyful sound to rise up from the whole world. God has been waiting for this time.
God knows that the most successful person in history is Reverend Moon. The most miserable one in history is also Reverend Moon. He had to overcome everything; going up there and coming down again to the original place. Do you understand? There I can plant the love seed in the field where no one is against me. We can sow everywhere, no problem. Nobody is against me. That time is coming up now, where our ideal world is opening up. You can look at the rising sun. Aaaah! How much wonderful is that sun. I want to kiss it! You think about it. Heaven and earth are coming into oneness centering on True Love. That kind of body, with that kind of center makes a laughing sound. That noise will be so loud throughout the universe. At that time, the outside world will say, "Why are you making so much noise in there?" They will come in and join us in dancing. That is humankind's great hope: to make God's dancing sounds all throughout the universe. True Love will occupy everything. God will dwell in every place. No one will be against Him. "Oh, my wonderful world of freedom. Please, all humankind, take happiness forever up here with me. Ha, ha, ha!" Do you want that? Are you American women sure about that? Is it the same for American men?
So should we accomplish restoration through indemnity or not? The Unification Church is the only church which knows the principle of indemnity. Do you welcome indemnity? Do you welcome being hit at every level? Until now, you haven't even started. No matter how famous you may be in America or in the Unification Church, Father doesn't care about that. Without tangam bok qui we cannot return to heaven. The American Unification Church does not understand much about this, and the second generation is no exception. Without this understanding we cannot overcome the fall. Here the biblical statement is very applicable: those who want to die will live, and those who want to live will die. How paradoxical, it seems 180 degrees different but that is truth, isn't it? Your own family is the enemy and your own country is an enemy, according to what is written in the Bible, because they oppose you.
On the 80th birthday of Kim Il Sung, he selected seven heroes of the world, and he put in the name of Reverend Moon. America wants to discredit and denounce Reverend Moon, even at this point, and the South Korean government also wants to suppress him, but Satan's side understands clearly now-they are first. The same thing happened in Jesus' time. Those on the satanic side recognized Jesus' greatness. We can remember this warning: that those who came earlier will be the last. Those who join later will become first. Say it: Tangam bok qui. Restoration by indemnity. Tangam bok qui. You understand, right? Without indemnity, we cannot go over the fall.
Why didn't Reverend Moon prevent his imprisonment in the past? Why did I have to go to prison six different times? There was no way to prevent whatever came along the straight road of God's will. If jail was on the path, then I went through it. Jesus, too, did not evade his suffering. When he was faced with Golgotha, he went. We too, must go through Golgotha but we must do it while we are alive, not dying there. Jesus died there and went to the spiritual world. At the time of the second coming we are going over Golgotha, not dying there as Jesus did. In there, there is no left wing, no right wing. Reverend Moon has unified those two. We are going the opposite way of overcoming.
Tangam bok qui. To accomplish that, we have to deny ourselves and indemnify the past. The more we deny ourselves, the more perfect our foundation becomes. This is not just what I am saying. This is the same path which I have had to go through. You are going the same way that I did. Would you like to cross over that barrier before you have a baby, or after? You know the answer well; before. The Bible warns, "Woe to those who are with child," in the last days. Isn't that why? Those who are pregnant are bound to that child. It becomes like her enemy. She has a path to go, but she has a lot of things to take care of. For those who are married, the same is true. A husband gets in her way. Of course that is a certain stage I am talking about. In general in the Unification Church we have to go by the family level. Of course, I do not mean that Blessed children are the enemies, but before restoration, before blessing, this is so true, isn't it? Tribal messiah work must also be done as a family unit. Why? It is winning the position over Jesus' failure. We can realize the Kingdom of Heaven, not by being persecuted but by being welcomed.
God sent out some 25,000 Blessed couples as tribal messiahs. This is a one-way path. You can only go out; you can never return. Live or die, you have to accomplish this. Of course, we want to accomplish by living. True Parents are forever; nothing can change that. It is their absolute position. We have to accomplish even if we face death. Jesus had to die without accomplishing everything, so God had to revive him and resurrect him spiritually, but here Reverend Moon sent out 25,000 couples to the world. Now we don't need so much from the spirit world, but we can have horizontal support. Tribal messiahship is like the time of the Second Advent, centering on the earth. It has the same meaning, centering on the earth and centering on Father. Do you understand? We horizontally connect our blood line with Father's foundation. Satan cannot influence this. Centering on Father and Father's nation, the nation center and world center all connect to that pillar. They are completely one, making 360 degrees. Otherwise there is no way. We need restoration by indemnity.
How do we overcome the evil lineage? That's the purpose of Blessed couples; the Blessed family. We all know the meaning of lineage, don't we? By being Blessed we enter into a new lineage. We never want to go back to the fall or to the bad lineage. It is impossible for the Blessed family to fall again. We see that the first human ancestors fell before they were perfected or mature. It was when they were in the growth stage that Adam and Eve fell. We have now passed beyond Adam and Eve's level where they fell. After being Blessed, should the American families go their own ways, the English families go their ways and so forth? Is that the right way for Blessed couples? Why not? White people control everything around the world, why shouldn't everybody else follow them? No, that is the foundation of Satan that already exists everywhere. That is the satanic concept. Do you understand?
Father has been working so hard at cultivating Satan's world and developing it. He had to endure so much persecution to do so. Such a great quantity! You have to know that. Father came against America and every powerful foundation within Satan's side. They pulled back afterwards. You didn't take that kind of action, so you were behind the True Parents' power. Reverend Moon did not fall down, you did not fall down. What shall we do? We should embrace indemnity. Mansei. The ultimate conclusion is clear. Now our enemies are silent, sleeping. They are in the midst of night time and darkness. We are in the middle of noontime, looking at everything, occupying every place freely. In this time of harvest, you have to harvest your personal property. How about you? Until now, no matter how much you harvested, your youth passed away for indemnity action. In this time of harvest, it includes you. You can save your family and relatives. Following you, they will ultimately belong to heaven. What a wonderful gospel this is, how valuable. It cannot compare with any other.
All American women are so bad. American woman are stupid, dull, not sharp, because of bad action. The only exceptions are the Unification women. You are different aren't you? Is that true? Can Father believe that, or not? Until now, I could not believe in you. From today, May 1st, Father wants to believe you and that you will follow this concept. Otherwise, no way of hope exists. Humankind inherited Satan's blood lineage, so every single human being, including the most famous people, ultimately goes down to hell. How can they be liberated? This is God's will. Father wanted to find some kind of truth. At last he found out everything and now he is teaching it clearly in this place; our Unification Church. You are hearing that concept clearly. You can have settlement on only one point. No matter how difficult a storm blew up around me, I didn't fall down. Father still kept the same concept. No matter that the American world and the communist world came together to oppose me, I didn't retreat. I just continue to connect. The American government tried to kick me out by bringing the indictment against me. As soon as I heard about it, I immediately flew back here. Why? Because this is Satan's king's dwelling place. Father was sent to Danbury as his mission. Without taking the middle position you cannot go back to hometown. Who took that middle position? Only me. Behind the walls of Danbury, the name of Reverend Moon was resurrected. The turning point was passed in the Western world and we welcomed the morning time. I understood this clearly. Now after seven years, all American high level people, as well as high level people throughout the free world now respect me and bow down to me. Representatives of the world are coming and saying "We were a bad nation, please forgive us." They completely repent for that now. The most miserable branch of humankind in the future will be the white race. What shall you do? Do you like to hear that? Father wants to liberate all humankind. Your purpose is to follow. You will say, "Thank you Reverend Moon." Father knew that concept of going the difficult way.
During the time of the court proceedings I initiated The Washington Times, Insight, World and I, . I started the American Freedom Coalition while I was in Danbury. All these projects were done for the sake of this country, but still they came against me. America stood on the enemy's side. Father followed God so he forgets all that others have done against him. I forgot everything for the sake of saving this nation and securing the national foundation. Without me, American people can now go forward. God wants them to go the straight way. Do you understand? So from now Father is leaving to the Asian world.
What time is a good time? In May every flower blossoms. A green color covers everything, the mountainsides and hillsides. It's a good feeling, isn't it? Until now, the Asian world has been like a desert. That's the world where Reverend Moon came from. He will bring them prosperity and make it into a green world. Economic power is growing in the Asian world too. America has been harvesting and now their warehouse is full. What is the point? They did it not for a serving purpose but for the owner's purpose. Who is the owner? Not America, but God and the Second Advent, True Parents. The owner is standing in the Asian world. All economic power and everything will follow him and automatically connect to the Asian world. No matter how much American people deny this, it is heavenly fate.
The other day, the Japanese Premiere Mizawa, said that the American people were too lazy. That stirred up everybody! The response was "We are not!" But the American people are like the grasshopper. Japan is the ant. Grasshoppers have lots of fun during the summer, drinking and dancing around while the Japanese are working very hard. In the winter time they are gathering food. They take life seriously. So what shall America do when winter time comes? "I like to feel good." In the future, America will be in the middle of the winter time. When serious times come, they cannot take the easy way to over come that situation. Father worries about the future of the American and the next generation. No one has the power to endure, but Unification Church members are different aren't they? They know about wintertime, right? In spring time they take winter time training. In summer time they take winter time training. In autumn time they take winter time training. You are learning to overcome everything, no problem. In a day, we face one million problems. During one week we take on everything but we remain alive, no problem. We can fast for seven days, no problem. You have to have confidence. No matter how bad America is, the future will be different. I will digest everything, eating everything and digesting it, no problem. It takes energy. Do you understand? We can do everything. We can even die on a cross. We have to have that thinking. In this time God will appear. Why? Satan is not there. That kind of time is coming. Satan has no power over us. This is the Principle concept. In the sight of God, this is Principle. In the sight of Satan, this is Principle. Do you understand? Satan knows clearly that he cannot bend the Principle way. The only way to go is to follow. You think about it. Would Satan take the easy way or the difficult way? Darkness cannot stay in a place of light. Satan too much wants to stay in there. It is too tedious and a shameful situation.
Chupo means blessing. We went though the Blessing ceremony for the change of lineage, as well as the Three Day Ceremony. Was that easy or difficult? In your own experience, were those ceremonies easy or difficult? Yet to make them possible, you can imagine how difficult it was. All men and all women of the world opposed this in the beginning. To repel that and to pave the road and complete this, how difficult it was. You can only imagine. But you, who did not know what it took to create, have been given this opportunity. You know how difficult it was to build the Empire State Building. How much time and effort it took, yet once it is completed, all you need is a piece of paper to show your ownership, in other words, the deed. If that ownership is transferred to another person, he then owns it. Just one piece of paper gets passed on and the ownership changes. That building becomes yours. You don't have to build it yourself. By the same token, God took great effort to create you, but then the fall took place. To get it back, all you have to do is sign and say, "He belongs to God." After the fall, you married by yourself, didn't you? Did you Unification Church members get married according to your own will? No, you married according to God and according to Parents. You have been through that change of lineage, correct? If you disdain it again, it is a very serious matter. Like many descendants of Adam and Eve blamed them, the same thing will happen to you. It is a more serious situation. Adam and Eve were not yet in the perfected position, but at this time, you are in the perfected position. You would be worse than Satan.
So we should preserve the renewed lineage of the Blessed family. If someone is trying to invade you, you would rather kill yourself than go through the fall. At least you won't go to hell that way. Even if you die, you don't go to hell. That means love comes before life. With that concept, it means that even if we have to lose our lives for the sake of love it is no problem. So we have a reason to be proud; we are not from this fallen lineage, but from God's lineage. This is not a mere ritual or some empty gesture lacking deep meaning. It is a matter of life and death. There is nothing more important than the new lineage.
Those of you who are Blessed families, raise your hands. Almost all of you. Naturally, you know what comes in this position-heaven, instead of hell. But we must understand that there is a zero point. You have to replace your thoughts. Simply forget the old, disgraceful love affairs of your past. No matter what it was, simply erase them. You can even forget that you are an American or citizen of a great nation. To make you forget, especially the old ties from past love affairs, Father will just push you out. If you take the identify of an American, you will have too many enemies, but if you reduce yourself to the zero point, no enemy will confront you.
Americans who have been against us are now turning around 180 degrees and ultimately reaching God's direction. The persecution way is not so bad. It is good. It is good because through it, we are taking our property out of Satan's world. We are doing it without working, only by being persecuted. What a wonderful concept that is. Compare Father's situation. America and the communist world all combined against me. They have continued to tear me down. That was bad, but because of that, I am now making a victorious foundation.
American people look at Father's face and say, "He is so bad!" But no matter how bad they think I am, I am always taking things away to God's side. How wonderful the way of persecution is. From there we become owners, gaining property on a high level. Satan and God both want that power. In this world there is only one man who represents humankind, that is Reverend Moon. He is the only one who recognizes this. You know well God's situation. Receiving persecution means gaining more. Behind the scenes things are moving to God's side. At last, only God, the winner, is left standing in the owner position. Do you understand?
Now the world is welcoming peace everywhere. What shall we do? I want to take on more persecution. By going down to dungeon of hell and being hit, soon everything will belong to me. That is the true way. Reverend Moon always took that way of life. At last, he is at the top of the world. Did I get to the top of the world by using guns or by fighting? No, only by True Love. In that place, naturally there is no persecution. In heaven there is no persecution. What do you think, is that true or not? Is it only a concept, or is it reality? Father is speaking about reality. You are reaching for the heavenly world. After that Satan will look back at me, all people will look at me and no one will be able to make any complaints against me. They will say, "We will follow only you, occupy only you and obey only you." How precious is this kind of man. God will call Reverend Moon closer and closer. He even wants Father to go ahead of Him. That is what you can receive when you go the way of persecution. Do you think this is concept or reality? Now we are standing on the most high and proud level. I only think about how we are going to save every individual on the earth. That is my purpose.
Father has done this in America. In the future he will take that foundation to the Asian world. The Asian world will be very proud of Reverend Moon and will follow Reverend Moon. Three billion people will praise Reverend Moon. The Asian world and Western world both will be following one way, connecting with God's ideal organization of the unified world, centering on parents. God is the vertical parents and True Parents are the horizontal parents. True Love can be found there. All humans, all creatures on heaven and earth want to dwell there. God's True Love can occupy everything. No being will have any complaint there. No matter how proud a woman is, centering on the True Love concept, she will always welcome her husband. In True Love there is no hell, no complaint or dissatisfaction, only fulfillment.
We understand that this is the time of the Last Days and we are following this concept. How wonderful we are! Mansei! For every moment during the past thirty eight years, Father has thought about how to accomplish this. While he did that, Father was persecuted very strongly. During that strong persecution Father was lifted up in all different fields. That includes the area of academics and scholars. In all positions, Father is on top of the world now, but compare thirty eight years to the long time of human history. God tried to work out the restoration for thousands of years, but it has been a mere thirty eight years since the Unification Church was established. Father has accomplished something greater than God did himself. We can see that. We have to understand that.
Do we see division or unity between religion and politics, like mind and body? How can they remain divided? The flesh side, or politics, got the better of religion every time. Religion had to be sacrificed and had to pay the indemnity all the time. Now Father combined these two. Now the political field is afraid. They have no scapegoat anymore to pass on the indemnity to. They have to pay the price. Father created a political organization for world peace and also a religious organization for world peace, and then combined the two. The center of that, of course, is True Love. Mind and body, or politics and religion. The goal is never two; two must be made into one. Nobody in history could achieve this. They didn't know how or why to do it.
Alexander Haig, the former Secretary of State, joined this organization. During the Falkland War, actually, Father criticized him because he wasn't going in God's direction. Later Father asked Haig if he remembered that time and he said yes. I asked him why he still joined this organization. He said that it was because he was indebted to Reverend Moon because of the Nixon administration, during which time he was White House secretary. In all levels, Father has accomplished; the individual level, family level, national and world levels. As a result of Father's work during these thirty eight years we now see liberation coming on every one of these levels. Essentially, God will be liberated, and mankind will be liberated.
From now on through The Washington Times and through access to a great television media channel, we could educate the entire world in forty days. It wouldn't take longer than that. The world will come to know the truth. When Father accompanies the presidents of all the nations of the world, every country will say, "Please visit us in our country," and then we will bombard them with God's love and God's truth. Ultimately they will be liberated, even overnight. Every sort of preparation has been made now. When Reverend Moon shows the example of that in Russia, the United States says, "Please come here and do the same here in America." They will plead with a long face. I know well that will happen soon. The day when the world will know Father is not far away. You understand, don't you?
Everyone thinks, "I want to jump from here to here. I don't want to take a millennium to get there." As you know, the distance from the top of one mountain to the top of an adjoining mountain cannot be bridged by jumping. You have climb down the first mountain and climb all the way up the other mountain. That is the natural way. People get inspired about going to the Kingdom of Heaven. They say, "That's so good! I want to jump into it," but that's not possible. You have to follow the restoration course. That means going through all the different levels of education, beginning with elementary school. You can't just jump from primary school to college right away. You have to go step by step, following that original formula. You cannot skip one. Do you want to reach the Kingdom of Heaven? Really? I cannot believe you! It is not a very easy way. Don't you want to take the easy path?
Go to your home town. That's the most hopeful way. No? Yes? Why? You cannot stay on the high level forever. If you one time make a mistake you cannot reach the peak point of success. Restoration is so difficult. You must try harder otherwise you can never reach there again. That is a normal concept isn't it? You are clever so you can understand this well. It is never so easy, especially the nearer you get to the top. I have explained things clearly to you, telling you to always take the indemnity way. You wonder why I am always taking the difficult way, going opposite from the easy way, but by going this way, the forever way, I become the owner occupying God. All creatures and everything become mine. This is true with love partners, husband and wife too. God is the original big plus. When He connects with His love object, both sides become of equal value. It means that sometimes God occupies me and sometimes I occupy God. The two have the same meaning. Ultimately God is in control. Standing in love, occupying God is no problem. This is the True Love concept of attributes. Inheriting, participation and dwelling together; these are the three attributes of True Love. Between absolute love and Absolute Being which one is first? Absolute love is first, so that means the Absolute Being which is God, is following behind Absolute True Love. The center is True Love, not God. This is different from a theological concept. God sometimes tells His children, "You have to follow absolute love." Absolute love can own everything. God will do something and after He does it the first time, He educates the children saying, "Okay, now I did it, now you can do it." This is the same kind of concept.
The one with absolute love can own everything. "How much do I love you?" and "How much do I own you?" have the same meaning. I can own everything including me, including God, all creatures and everything. Do you like that? After you reach that standing point how happy your situation will be then! Your mouth will want to break out laughing. Everything will be 1000% open; your eyes will be looking at everything, your hands touching everything, your nose smelling everything. You will want to participate in every action including dancing. In springtime the rain comes and everything buds and blooms, turning into a green world. That is the hopeful world.
True Love can control everything, the past, present and future, the joyful way and painful way. Every place can become heaven. Even the dungeon of hell immediately becomes heaven when True Love is there. Is that true? Father is saying this but Father cannot feel that love. It doesn't feel so good to hear that, does it?
The global center is heaven. Regardless of which direction you are facing-north, south, east, or west, up or down-you are welcome. You are happy. Here we have gathered people of every skin color and every nationality, Japanese, American and German. People from enemy countries come together on the basis of loving Father, don't they? Not because they love each other, perhaps. In America, there is so much promiscuity that people don't recognize it as wrong. What if Father saw it that way, too? Would everybody still love me? No, because that is not godly. When I look at a woman, no matter how beautiful she may be, I see her only as a daughter perhaps, or as a sister. Father sees her as anything other than his object, in the sense of husband and wife subject and object. This is a very strict rule within the Unification Church, as well. We know this very well. In East Garden, the rules are not very strict about what people do, think, and so forth, but they are absolutely unbending when it comes to relationships of love. We have strict love rules. That is what keeps order and allows everybody to feel free and comfortable.
So we must understand the rules of even the spousal relationship. Before they became a couple, the husband and wife were children and brother and sister. After the recognition of God, they became a couple. The couple relationship is the last step. It does not start that way. But this is not the way it is in the world. Do you have to feel that person is your dear brother or sister before you develop that spousal feeling? No, people come right to that level of relationship without going through the other levels, but that is not love. You experience loving your brother or sister so dearly, and becoming a part of God. Then you are ready to give to God-like children after getting married; fostering God's own families. Don't make a mistake about the nature of sexual intercourse. Of course, this is the essence of the marriage relationship and it has a clear purpose: that is to rear a good, God-like family. Without that goal, then you can say that everything is evil. Before now, we didn't have a clear idea so this idea is something new, but it is God's idea. Compare that with the thinking that reigned in America for the past 200 years. How can you compare that? This is definitely godly, and that is ungodly, unclean. That is why I have given the name, the Royal Family of Heaven in regard to Blessed couples.
Now the elements of the fall cease to exist. [Referring to diagram on board.] Now we can go directly from here to here, but this zero point still remains and we have to go through that. That means we should empty ourselves of all these things. This indemnity is not at all sorrowful, tearful or heartbreaking. Now indemnity is something we can happily anticipate. By suffering, we know some blessing is guaranteed. It is that kind of indemnity we have now, not like the indemnity in the past. Do you see that difference? If we say, Let's all go to Africa and work for three years very hard, and we are full of hope to build the brotherly nation of Africa, that means you are full of hope, even though you suffer. We call that indemnity. You know, those highbrows who never did anything but read books and never did so much as plant a tree or work hard, will be the ones who drop the books and do physical labor for three years. That's a welcome change for them, too. Father loves labor. I love any sort of hard physical work so I know intimately the world of many different laborers, including fishermen, farmers, factory workers and construction workers. But that is not everything in the world. I have also become recognized in the scholastic world and the political world. By the same token, you should appreciate physical labor. What would you like to be? Just one thing, going a one-way course, doing only one thing in this world, knowing that you can't do anything else? Maybe you can read or type, but that's all you do. Is that good? Or do you want to become as versatile as Father, doing everything?
You know, people have a lot of problems with stress and insomnia. People spend millions of dollars to get over that, but if they would go and do hard labor for even one day, they would be cured of those problems. Stress will disappear and even if someone tried to wake you up in the middle of the night, they couldn't! It is very simple. Somebody might force you to dig a tunnel for about a week and that would be enough to cure you. You wouldn't have any stress or insomnia any more and you could go back to your other work. Insomnia? No, you would sleep while you were eating! How exciting, wonderful and magnificent is the Unification Church! Have you ever stopped to think that way? Are you going to follow the exact same pattern as Father? How about everyone going to do mining, side by side with Father? Maybe everybody else would run away or die, one or the other, but Father would survive to the end. When Father goes out on a boat, everybody who goes with me is excited the first day. But then there is the second day, third day, and finally they want to find a way to escape. Father started out at 8:00 in the morning, which is unheard of. Everybody liked that. Then I shifted it to 5:00 a.m. every day. They all said, "Father, why can't we go back to 8:00?" You are always thinking like this, but Father says, "We will do our fishing starting at 5:00 and then we will go to the office at 9:00! If you start fishing at 8:00, how can you go to the office that day?" How wonderful it is-it is like having two days in one. You, too, should go out for three days and fish starting at 5:00 in the morning. Be prepared for even one week! Do you want to do it?
Father already told you to buy one boat, didn't he? Have you done that? Do you have a boat ready? There is a beautiful, small boat in the Hudson River. It is a prototype. It costs $6,000-that's all. Certainly it's not for commercial purposes. It provides you with a good, local boat. It doesn't sink. Styrofoam never sinks. You women would have a security net. Father recognized that American women are kings of their family, so I want to make them kings of their boat. Father may train a pirate-like woman captain for going out on the high seas. Then I would say, "Go occupy Japan." Maybe she will. Not by force or by gun, but she will occupy a country by love. How wonderful it is to know.
"A-men" means a number one, wonderful guy. The fact that Father did all these things in a mere thirty eight years, less than the forty years which was my goal, is truly amazing. Now Heaven and Hell become so clearly visible. How wonderful is this happening in the whole cosmos. It is the best news throughout history in the whole universe, in God's history and man's history. Have you ever seen the farmer's dance which the Little Angels do? Now Father will do that so the whole world will dance like a ribbon. Are you going to be part of that ribbon and stay there, dancing when Father dances? That's how we've got to dance, see. All Father does is this, and what you should do is that. [Dancing around the stage.] We will dance into heaven not to hell.
Think how much has changed within the last two years, a mere two years! We have two more years until the 40th anniversary of HSA. If we did that in the next two years, how much more would the world change for the good? When America is full of welcoming sounds for the Unification Church, that will be the beginning of hope for America. What is your assessment? Do you think I am speaking just sweet talk, conceptual talk, something which is not true but sounds true? Or is what I have explained here this morning totally true? Not only that, but you can do it. Which one is it? Absolutely, you can do it because your brain is washed thoroughly! It is nicely cleaned. I don't care what the people call us, we are happy! For thirty eight years, Father stood in the front, and also Father did everything. Practically, Father did everything. Now to inherit what Father has made for you, you must take the initiative during the next two years and work like Father. Pledge to me that you will do that and you will march forward together. Those who are ready to do that, raise your hands. What a great crowd! How wonderful you are! God bless us!

BLESSED FAMILIES AND TRUE TRADITION REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

Belvedere, New York  Translator - Sang Kil Han, April 26th, 1992

The topic of Father's sermon this morning is Blessed Families and True Tradition. America has it's own tradition. What can you say is the tradition of America? Democracy? What is the tradition of democracy?

Freedom. What is the tradition pertaining to freedom? Fulfilling responsibility maybe? Or the sense and concept of equality?
What is the tradition which supports equality? As we see, the tradition of America is not that clear. It is ambiguous and subtle. We see the results of that today. The tradition of democracy which calls for equality and brotherism, should be love itself. Love should be the center. We say we want equality but can man become equal with woman just like that? Or can woman be equal to man just like that; doing nothing but becoming equal? No, it doesn't work that way. Men and women are different from each other. They cannot be equal so easily, but they are working towards equality. With what can we do that? That is the question. As you said, True Love should be an important part of all, but it is not very apparent in this society. In democracy we don't see love, in equality we don't see love, in freedom we don't see love, yet we are trying to work these difficult problems out.
Man and woman think differently, not a little differently but very differently. Man wants to go up, up all the way and all the time and woman wants to come down to earth. Man wants to expand and woman wants to control what they already expanded. When you compare the bankbooks of husband and wife, the husband's bankbook is always close to zero. No matter how difficult a time she says she is having, you can still always find something in the wife's bank account because she always puts in something. That is her character; to save. Men, like unleashed horses want to go out and run and run without any limitations whereas woman want to control. Man now tries to connect to her bankbook, that is earth and real. It is like a root on earth. Can man and woman become so much the same that equality comes instantly?
What about freedom? Do you think that these two different types of personalities can enjoy freedom automatically? One wants to go this way and the other wants to go that way. Can a democracy be formed under these circumstances? No, so it is not a simple matter. But if one ingredient, love, is thrust in here, it always works. It makes unequal parts equal, it makes the not-so-free, free. Center love can make a combination anywhere. That means freedom. Love can balance anything, north and south, southwest and northeast, up and down, front and rear. It can create horizontal equalization anywhere. Love can do that, but with an individualistic ideal, love is not the real center of life. As a result of that we see horrible things such as free sex, which is truly unthinkable. That is what has become a tradition in America. It is not a desirable one, but still it is like a tradition. This is a result of complications without love. Free sex, drugs, AIDS, homosexuality, these things are America. Can you proudly say this is the tradition of America? Can someone argue this is not true and defend that argument successfully?
Why are Blessed families necessary? Blessed families, not only from America, but from Japan and anywhere else around the world are the same. They hold the same traditions as Blessed families. What is the difference between the average families out in the world and Blessed families? Their tradition itself is what differs. Blessed families of the Unification Church are founded on a new, truthful tradition. What is new? It is the kind of tradition we have never seen in history. What is true about it? It has the absolute criteria and standard so it becomes true. True means it connects to absolute value. Why is absolute value necessary? Because then it resembles God. God is the absolute Being. If we have absolute truth within ourselves then we can be connected with God.
Freedom without God involved is unthinkable. Equality is also unthinkable without God. Freedom cannot exist without parents. Godly love should be a part of these things before we can expect them to work and last. Why is it that God should be everywhere? Here is a tree. If God dwells right in the middle of the tree, the upper trunk and even the buds of the branches are connected to God. The world is like this. Can we see God with our own eyes? He is like the root of all of us. Like a trunk of a tree, throughout history the trunk of humankind was formed. The trunk has a long tradition which includes the root tradition, the branch tradition and the leaf and bud tradition. The trunk inherited the root tradition. With all of these aspects interconnected the tree will grow in a healthy way.
Even though we cannot see God, He is the root. Man and woman get married which is like the trunk. They give birth to children who also become a part of the tree which goes on and on in the same tradition of the root. Any part of the tree is a tree, no matter which part you are talking about, but which is the main part of the tree? Is it the trunk or the root? The root. If we can imagine all mankind centering on God as a tree, you can picture the tree inverted or upside down. The root, God, is up in heaven and the branches are all closer to the earth.
What part of the big tree is represented by America? Is it like the trunk or a branch? Is it like an easterly branch or a westerly branch? No American knows the answer to that. Here is the country America, which really does not know where it comes from. Americans do not know their direction, they do not know which branch they are. They don't know what course they have to go through. They don't know where the root is or even if they have a root. After knowing the root, they can find the real trunk. After knowing that they can find the center branch and bud.
Since Americans do not realize which part of the tree they belong too, they think they are all by themselves so they just go anywhere they want to go. We can see very easily that America does not have a root. Americans do not recognize the bud either. The bud is the shoot that keeps on growing so they do not recognize that growing point. We have to realize where the center bud is. It is the center of the branch, the center of the trunk. We need to know the center so we can harmonize and become a good tree.
Today, all humankind is trying to understand what position they are in. People just continue to live but they don't know where they are going. They try to expand their branches but have no clear direction. Even though a blade of grass is very small, it still knows where it's root is and it wants to become a good blade of grass. Which has more hope, this small blade of grass or a big tree that has no direction and no connection with the root? Though a tree may be huge, if it is confused it just drifts away, while this small blade of grass which is deeply rooted will last and last. Sometimes you see a big tree drifting in the current of a big river and here is one blade of grass rooted firmly in the ground; who will laugh at whom? The big tree says, "I am such a big tree, don't you see me?", but it is floating down the river becoming rotten, whereas the blade of grass is living and healthy. This is a very accurate analogy saying that though America is a big country, it is now about to drift into a big river and get lost. In the deep, dark wood of Africa, the average family is looking at America and asking, "Why has that big country become like a dead tree drifting down the river?" They wonder how that happened. They are laughing at America's situation thinking, "It doesn't pay to become a great big tree."
What do you do to a nation that feels no shame? Americans are not ashamed of themselves and don't see anything wrong with the way they live. They say, "I am all right," though they are not. One way to make them aware is to make them more miserable. By becoming more miserable they realize they are miserable. In misery they will see their situation clearly and decide to turn around. That is the correct answer.
Do you think it is extreme to say there is nothing you can copy or learn from America anymore? The thing is, if Americans understood even a small part of what is wrong with the way they live, they would jump at the sight of the Blessed families' tradition. Do American families have a tradition? They spit at their own father-the head of the family. They spit at their own mother. The father and mother no longer have value within the American family. Children no longer have value to their parents. They recognize no value in these relationships. Instead of uniting, each family member is spitting out the others. Is that a tradition? No Americans want that, but it is reality. It is more problematic and sad than anybody realizes.
You see American women acting as though their country has no problem. They dress up and proudly walk down Fifth Avenue. You really want to chastise that kind of woman. If you open her up, there would be many maggots inside. That is no exaggeration. In America, men are afraid of women and women are afraid of men. They don't want to stay together too long. They come together for a few days and then they separate again in search of another woman or man which will hurt them even more. Animals come together only once a year to give birth to legitimate offspring, but man and woman are worse than those animals. Those who say this is extreme thinking, raise your hands. [No one raises their hands.] That means you realize this is true. You feel helpless but you know it is true. Father says, at least you know this much. We have to say not only do we understand our problems but we know our problems are deadly problems. American people don't know their situation, that is the problem.
The Unification Church is different. How different? It is different all the way up from the root. The devil destroyed all things. The devil destroyed America and American families. When were they destroyed? The worst destruction is taking place today. American families today have become the worst in all history. God is on the opposite side and He wants to save American families. In Eden, God lost the family for the first time. God wants to find that family again in the last days. Satan knows that God wants the ideal family system. Satan knew this so he has focused on completely breaking down the family system. America is the world's leader in the category of family breakdown.
From God's point of view, whom would He hate the most? The one He used to love the most would be the one He hates most now. That is America. Americans go around the world and help destroy the families of other countries instead of helping them to come closer together. Americans spread AIDS all around the world. Somebody has to undertake some great work. The only way to prevent further decline is through a woman's alliance. Women and mothers must get together and defend the family. They need to defend the family from the male family member's wrong doings. [Father draws on the board.] Here is a grandmother, here is the mother and wife and here is the daughter. These are all the women members of the family. How can they unite and then properly educate the male members of the family? They need to set the right standard for men, saying, "Men should be like this, not just any way he pleases." The day of women champions is now here on earth. Women will get together and properly show what a man should be. Understanding that, men will follow women. Just as a man followed a woman into the fall, this time in returning to God, they will follow too.
Which country is the country where the queens reign? [England.] No, in England there is only one queen. In America all women are like queens, they control everything, their husbands, even their grandfathers and eldest sons. They have money power too. That is true. An American husband is like a servant. They drive for their wives, opening the car door and saying, "Please step out."
It is good they are queens, we will go along with that, but they aren't good queens and that is the problem. They are queens on the satanic side. Satanic queens are centered on individualism. By divorcing they will get money from men. They cannot even go into hell straight, they will go upside down! We have to change that person and send her into heaven straight up. She needs to change 180 degrees. Is it easy or difficult to change a man or woman 180 degrees? How difficult? It is more than a thousand times very difficult.
God too, wants to make our upside down world right side up. He wants to change us 180 degrees, but He cannot. God is looking for someone who can do that. The key player here is not God Himself, but perfected Adam. Perfected Adam should confront Satan and bring everything right side up. After the fall bad parents became the starting point for all human history. In the time of restoration True Parents appear on Earth and take a completely different direction. They will turn the world back 180 degrees toward God. Otherwise there is no hope for an ideal world. Satan is leading all people directly to the dungeon of hell. America is now standing on the edge. If they make one wrong step they will fall into hell. How can they escape and be saved from this situation? No one knows about this situation. The American government cannot help. American youth can't make a difference. No matter how powerful any man might be in a variety of ways, he cannot save America from her situation. This is America's agonizing reality. Who can save this country? If you cannot save America it means the whole world cannot be saved.
The tradition of Unification Church Blessed families is completely the other way around from the rest of the world. A model must be built. The model is True parents, True family and True children, True brotherhood and sisterhood, all centered on absolute True Love. Those who are Blessed families, please raise your hands. The Blessed families here are doctors for the sick and decaying country of America. All American families are broken down with illness, how can they save themselves? They need a doctor. In the Blessed families we see a cure to bring about the True husband and True wife, for the True father and True mother, True brother and True sister. Otherwise we cannot save the American family system.
Do the Blessed families of the Unification Church use drugs? [No!] Do they practice free sex and free dating? No, man and woman do not touch outside of the Blessing. Do we make dancing an every day affair? Do we drink alcohol? [No!] But you are American youth and American youth like that direction! [No!] Father heard that some members of ACC began drinking. It may be just for social reasons, but it is no good. Father thought he should tear their mouths apart. Father won't do it, Father will let you do it. If Father tears someone's mouth apart because he drank alcohol, it is not good for obvious reasons. But, if you did it, Father doesn't feel there would be any problem. Do you think this is a laughing matter or would you really do it? Have you ever thought, "I will be the one who knocks out everyone in my community who uses drugs or indulges in free sex"? Have you ever imagined that you would sweep them out? How can a person who never thought that way save America? Concept will never save America. Only by your living the concept can you save America.
Blessed families should be doing awesome things, but sometimes they do bad things themselves. That is no good. Most of you drank beer and wine before you joined the church, didn't you? Especially women! There is hardly anyone who never drank alcohol. Now you drink, not openly, but hiding it. Father understands that kind of beer is more delicious than the beer you drink openly. Those who say, "Yes, I stealthily drank a few beers," raise your hands and you can be forgiven. If you don't you will carry this with you to spirit world! Only a few of you raised your hands, but Father feels all of you have done this. Father has a good reason to bring this up today instead of many days ago or a month ago. Now that Father stands where he is supposed to stand, and now that we renew our determination, bygones are bygones. From today, we should not drink.
Father is saying this because a few days ago he proclaimed the revival of the True Family so it is the time to stress the Blessed family tradition. Now Father and Mother stand in equal positions and it is time for Unification Church Blessed families to fulfill the correct traditions. Let us begin now. The topic of Father's sermon last Sunday was, The Liberation of the World. The world is about to be liberated, so for a new beginning Father has to emphasize the tradition of our Blessed couples; not before now, but now.
We are 180 degrees different from satanic traditions. There is so much fighting and antagonism in outside families. No sooner do they say, "Good morning" than they start fighting. All throughout the day they fight. Do they spend more time arguing with each other or caring for each other? The originator of argument is Satan. Men and woman protect themselves by arguing and at the center of that thinking is Satan. It is Satan they are protecting. From this point of view, are American women more embraced by Satan or God? American women don't feel so good hearing this, but this is reality. You cannot deny it. The first step to correcting the problem is to realize it. The family is sick and the country is sick with a deep illness. No matter how good a drug may be, this illness cannot easily be cured. We have to be proud that we know the remedy. No matter where an individual Unification Church member may be we have to learn to be proud and confident that through us every correction will begin. Without us America can never change. How proudful it is that we are part of the good tradition, part of God Himself, part of the Parents themselves.
To come to the point where Father could give the Blessing to each one of us wasn't easy. You saw that. The whole world went against Father as if he were trying to destroy the whole world. A destroyer he is, but he is going to destroy the bad families and bring in the new, good families. We destroyed ourselves, then we gave rise to new families. Then we become the center bud of growth. Father created 25,000 Blessed couples and then dispersed them to the world to become Tribal messiahs. There is not only one messiah on Earth, but 25,000 of them! We don't need to save the world, we only need to save the tribe. If we save the tribe it will quickly expand to the world. We are not alone. There are scholars and people in high positions who understand Father's ideal and who want to go in the right direction to help us.
[Father draws on the board.] As we look at what Father drew, we recognize this is what he taught us about last Sunday. Here are the bad parents, and centering on Christianity, this kind of world has been formed. God's purpose is to establish the same thing centered on good parents and transfer the world from one type of leadership to the other. That did not happen because of the opposition of Christianity. As a result of that, the Unification Church has to indemnify 4000 years of history in forty years. This connection is easy, it is no problem, it is very horizontal.
The world has really changed. The recent rally in Korea took place in torrential rain. There were hundreds of thousands of people mobilized, mainly women. Father proclaimed the age of the True Family as if it were a matter of fact thing. Father explained to them that the True Father of mankind is Reverend Moon and that the True Mother of mankind is Hak Ja Han Moon. Nobody said anything against that and some even said, "Yes, I already know!" They've never even heard the Divine Principle! They pledged, "Yes, we will follow you." It was as simple and as easy as that. When they follow all the families they belong to will follow too. They will all move into the kingdom of heaven very easily. All the scholars and professors in each country of the world know what Father stands for. They want to help. Have you read and heard that Reverend Moon is about to take over the university at Bridgeport, Connecticut? It was in the New York Times and every other newspaper. All Father has to do is set one good example through that university, that students will never date each other until they get married. What kind of husband would you like to get? The one who dated many women or the one who never dated anybody except you? You want one with pure blood. Is that true? [Yes!] Are you sure you are Americans? Of course you are Americans, but you are different. You have been completely changed to the right way by Reverend Moon.
To uphold or support the existing, average American family is to destroy the whole world. If you follow their traditions of free sex and many other things, it will only serve to destroy the world. There is no question about it; you cannot uphold that tradition and practice and still go to the kingdom of heaven. You cannot do that. Are we going to just look at those who are perishing and leave them alone? That is not love. Those people include your parents, your family, your relatives and your nation. What kind of stand are you taking? Do you stand there and look at them or are you jumping up and rushing out to stop what they are doing? If you try to stop them they will surely attack you. They will shoot arrows at you, even bullets. Arrows are too slow!
It was never, ever an easy thing to establish Blessed families. There were so many degrees of attack from Satan's side on every level. All his arrows came to rest in God's heart. So much opposition came against God's family, not even Adam's family was able to accomplish this; it is that difficult.
Now that Father has proclaimed the arrival of Mother, man and woman both have position to stand on in God's eye. Until now there was no position for any man or woman to stand on. Until now, any marriage that took place throughout history added one more sorrow to God, but not from this point on. Why? Because they multiplied many families and it has taken a long, long time for restoration. God understood clearly how difficult their restoration was going to be. Looking at humanity there was so much agony in God's heart.
Giving God's blessing to families never happened before in all history and it will never happen again. Father is only on Earth one time. When all these things are known to the world, even the last limping people who were blessed by Father will be proud. Many presidents of many nations will come and bow down to the Blessed couples. Have you ever considered the value of being blessed? In the spirit world too; if they recognize you are one of the people blessed by True Father, all spirit world will bow down to you. We must become the models for heaven's world to begin. Do you understand? Other people wonder how they can get that kind of family. We are taking the resurrection way. It has been so difficult. If they are not blessed here, how much more difficult their way will be.
The ancestors of this Japanese man really look up to his Blessed couple, feeling proud that he is their descendent. If they do not feel that way, Satan is waiting for them on the other side.
We should never undermine our position. We should realize our position. We are here not just for ourselves as individuals. There are many hundreds of thousands of generations connected to us through our ancestry. Only through us, through you, will they and your descendants be connected. Earth is looking up and heaven is looking down to connect and become one centered on you. This is the mission of tribal messiahs. Until now you didn't pick up that concept. You have been saying, "I don't like tribal messiahship." If you take that position when you go to spirit world your ancestors will call you a liar, asking what you did with the time you were on the earth. "Where is your result? You lived at the time of True Parents!" More than Satan, you will be accused by your ancestors. "You knew the truth for how many years? Why didn't you work for us?" You will hear arguing from both worlds. How can you escape your situation? All the Earth's atmosphere and all spirit world are centered on Father. You are part of the family system circle. You understand this completely and you cannot deny it. You can never say, "I didn't know." Father has taught you everything, clearly. Don't ever complain to me. You know well. Centering on you, all your ancestors are connecting to your generation making one circle which will enter the kingdom of heaven. The title of tribal messiah is easily given but it is a very important position.
Knowing this, Father gave everything for this purpose. That means Father lived every minute of his entire life on the cross; not just a few years. Father did not live in a free atmosphere, he had to fight every inch of the way. Now we live in a free atmosphere. All we have to do is just grab onto Father, hold on and just follow. If you cannot do even that, you will go down to hell. Your ancestors don't want that. They only want to go to heaven. So let us not be overly dependent upon Father. Yes, we met Father, but much responsibility lies upon us. Everybody has their own portion of responsibility. You have to have your own contents.
When Jesus saw the fig tree which bore no fruit he cursed it and the tree died. If you have no fruit, you have to die. You say, "Now I am Blessed, so my position is firm." No, this is not true at all. If this is Father's tree and a lot of insects come in and bite the buds off, what should Father do? He will cut them off so that the whole tree can live. If he leaves it alone, the whole tree will die. Do you follow?
As Blessed families, we have a great responsibility. Spirit world looks down on us. The world is watching us and our families are watching us. The Unification Church and Father himself are also watching over us. When you pass the test of everybody, you can enjoy freedom for the first time.
In a recent PBS special they tried to find fault in Reverend Moon and make a problem for him. According to their law they couldn't find anything. Father has simply not done anything wrong.
The center, which is you is like a pillar. Centered on True Love, nothing on earth can move you. There is nothing more strong than True Love. That means only God can move this point. No one else can. Your husband, your wife, your parents, your relatives, your nation, cannot move you. Satan cannot move you either. You can say, "Standing in this point I represent all things. How proud all things are of me." They will all answer, "Yes, we are proud of you" and they will bow down with respect. You can command them automatically.
We all bow down at the sight of Father. Who taught you that? Did Father teach us to do that? Your conscience, you yourself taught you to do that. Why don't we shake hands like everybody else; it is so easy and simple. It is so elaborate and difficult to bow and to do that every time we see Father. Americans like horizontal action, but the way we greet Father is vertical. All creation wants to come around the man and woman centered on True Love. God wants to recognize that couple and that is shown by bowing down. That is the way we bow down to God. There can never be two vertical ways. There can be a million horizontal actions, but there is only one vertical way. No matter how big a tree is or how high a level it's branches may reach, they bow down to the root. They are always grateful to the root.
After you know everything, which would you prefer: the horizontal way of greeting or the vertical way? Instead of shaking hands maybe you can shake feet. Horizontally there are so many different levels, the foot is lowest. The model would be to greet vertically first, then horizontally greet each other. With a combination of vertical and horizontal a spherical motion is formed. We must understand we are not individual families, but the families that represent the whole of mankind. We have so much responsibility within every different relationship we have and we have to live accordingly. That is the model of God's family. If you have one model, mass production becomes possible. The prototype is the key.
You have to be very careful. If there is a slight deviation, the entire model becomes wrong. The man and woman who are the model of the love organization have to be exactly right. Do you love each other that way in the family? Perhaps not, because you don't know. The sexual organ is like the prototype. It has to be just right. There is an even more rigid law pertaining to when you should meet each other. It is not just according to whenever you feel like it. It is not like what everybody else is doing. Americans don't have the faintest idea of this. Even outside Oriental families start with a fetal education. When a baby is conceived and growing in the mother's womb you start educating them. Fetal education is very important.
After conception a mother will love her child the most; more than her husband or anybody else. Which do you think will become more excellent children-consecrated babies or those conceived in just any fashion? Was Jesus Blessed? Why is Jesus in paradise, not in heaven? Only those who are blessed in matrimony can go into heaven. That is the way it should be. What do Christians know about heaven? Would you like to get into heaven by yourself; on an individual basis? Or, would you like the whole family to go to heaven?
[Father draws on the board.] It is easier to look at Father's picture and understand it rather than explain it! The whole area will meet and divide through you. The center is True Love. If you establish this on earth, don't start in heaven but on earth, then you become mainstream. Then even if you extend there, you will remain as mainstream. The only power that lets you move back and forth through this zero point freely is True Love. Your mind and body's absolute combining place is the zero point. Only the road of True Love passes through that point. Your body is pushed down making a balance and that is the zero point. If the woman's mind is zero and husband's mind is zero they can combine into one. At the zero point they can be made completely into one. Don't have your husband and wife concepts, only the zero point. The meaning of that is, "I am existing for you." With that thinking you can freely pass through this point, going back, up or down. Freedom can be found there. The center point of the globe is the zero point.
On the cross Jesus said, "Please save me, but do not mind me, I will follow only Your will." That was the zero point. A Roman soldier pushed his spear into Jesus' breast. At that time Jesus said, "God forgive them. They do not know what they are doing. Please forgive them." There was no hatred there, nothing of himself. That was the zero point. Many Christians do not realize this. Those who don't reach the zero point cannot reach heaven. True Love can go up and down, any way and everywhere.
If this big, proud country of America can bow down, a big zero point will appear there. Many small countries will pass in freely and combine into one. In there you will find equalization, freedom and happiness. Whether you go up, down or turn around, it will be the same direction. A wheel is round and smooth. It needs a shaft to turn upon. When a man is says, "I am the subject and I am big," he is not at the zero point, but when that great big man maintains the zero point it is very easy for a woman to live with him.
Do you all love Father? [Yes!] Why? Because Father brought ten thousand times more blessing to you than what you wanted. We all want to become a perfect minus to Father's perfect plus and then we can all live together. We all want to go around centering on Father, getting closer day by day. When Father went to Korea all the young Japanese members went there to join him.
What is this zero point within Father that millions and billions of people want to pass through? How great this place must be that all things want to pass through it. Even God wants to dwell in this place. Automatically, the one who is the zero point king will occupy God's position. It is the deepest place. The one who stands out and says, "I am great" will never meet God.
Who is the center owner of Divine Principle? Father. Parents connect to the trunk and that is the place where the center bud is found. There is only one center root, not two. Absolute and vertical is only one; straight.
You must go the straight, zero point way to realize your greatest value. Otherwise you have no value and you will never have that forever life.
In order to understand forever life here, we must understand the Blessed couple is the one who would dwell in this position where everyone wants to come through you. That is the Blessed couple's position.
We have five senses, but we also have five good senses and five bad senses. It is not difficult to understand through history how much sin these eyes have committed. Through giving a signal, some eyes were responsible for the death of others. There are many things eyes have done. We must understand that until we liberate all the wrongdoings of the eye, we can't be truly free. How do you indemnify this sin of the eyes? Do you just close your eyes so you don't see any bad things anymore? If you have a concept that you are seeing through God's eye, not just your own eye, you want to see everything like God would see it. If this is God's eye and this is the fallen world, would God's eye look at the fallen world or not? No, that means the fallen world does not exist as far as God is concern. How lonely God must be! He has nothing to behold; nothing to look at. Now is the time that you divide your eyes into parts; the good side and bad side. You can see both now. Your right side is God's side so you see everything is good as if God Himself were looking at it. With the left eye you see as usual. The left side belongs to evil. You have two kinds of characteristics. You have a right side nostril and a left side nostril. Half of your mouth is good, speaking good things, the other side speaks evil. You have two hands and two legs. It is difficult when you walk. Will you go to God's place or Satan's place? You can immediately understand if your situation is right or wrong. You know well. You have the greatest knowledge and wisdom through the Principle. You can immediately understand yourself well. Think about your actions as you go along, are they good or bad? If you make the decision they are bad, chase out those ideas. "Go behind me Satan." Your left eye goes this way but your right eye says, "No, no, no, no, go this way." You know which one is good. Unification Church members understand clearly. You cannot deny that.
How can you overcome this conflict inside? You have to be strict with your left side. When you smell and your left nostril says, "This is so good smelling this!" your right side nostril has to say, "No, no, no." Satan's side wants to feel good, thinking anything is good, touching is good. That is the body side. God's side is the mind side. Your five senses are originally connected to Satan so everyone is connected to and likes Satan's action. You want to eat good food and play and go dancing. Twisting is the snake's dance. This is Satan's equipment and armament which leads people into hell. The good, enjoyable, sleeping place is automatically Satan's place. If you connect with that side even one time it is so difficult to come back to the right way. This strong body wants to control everything, all your five senses are completely occupied and then Satan can pull you anywhere. Your body denies your mind, takes you to the edge of hell and then drops you inside. You know this well. You know well the result of this kind of action; is it good or bad? You know. You don't say, "I didn't know that. I don't know the correct way." You cannot say that.
The body and mind have both been fighting all through history and nothing in this world can stop it. If you go the way of the body one time you can't stop that but you will continue forever. How can you stop it? From now Father is teaching you. Your brain can put a stop to it and you can control yourself. I think so! Can you do it or not? Really? You are proud American women because this morning you said "Yes!" God's ear says, "You are number one American women clearly occupying the right side. The heavenly side Queen is appearing here. How enjoyable this is!" Spirit world is thankful too and dancing around. Like ballerinas they are jumping and going up. This is heavenly dancing. They are going higher and higher reaching to God. This is God's dancing. They are praising God, "You are glorious forever." Jazz music is dirty music. At nighttime people listen to it and take wrong actions.
Centering on your home, you can give grades to the people who live within a one hundred meter diameter. You can say, "This is a ten percent home. This home belongs to the twenty percentile home." Or if someone has a bad family, they might even be a minus number. The number one dungeon of hell home is minus 100 points. You should have a discerning eye and by training yourself in this way, you can make your way around better. If you like a family which is similar to yours, pick them up and make them as a minus to your family. You can make them into a perfect family even though they may not be perfect to begin with. By doing this your family itself becomes greater. This territory is like a family field; the field of your family. It is just like a field where you plant and cultivate vegetables. All you do is give them the command and they will respond to you. If you have such a field will you be a happy person or unhappy? That field will come to belong to you when you go to the spirit world. You may have a small clan, but they will be good. If it is a big clan you will have a big and good clan. Which would you prefer; to connect to a big clan or small clan? Then we will become owner of the king clan. Even though this field is a square centered on this kind of thinking, it will become round and you will be the center of that sphere. As we know heaven is empty, so depending on what we can give back to these people, we can bring them to heaven. We have to start from True Parents and True Family. In other words, Blessed families are re-creators centered on the True Parent's family.
Everything has to go through the process of recreation. Heaven is where these families will go. In a home there are grandparents, parents and children. The children are the future king, the parents are the present king and the grandfather is the Godly king. This is why traditionally we have to absolutely obey our grandfather. There are three stages, just like with the eyes, nose and mouth. Everything exists in three stages. There are three stages in the human arm.
The grandfather is the ambassador sent by God. We have to serve him as God's ambassador. We have to create this and bring it along with us. American society has separated those three generations. The parents and grandparents have become separated and children go out the door taking any free action they want. There is no center. They have no tradition so Satan accuses God, "How can they make your traditional family in the future? They live in a corrupt situation so how can they combine into one? Ha, ha, ha, ha!" God says, "I don't care. I will do it centering on Reverend Moon!" Amen! You understand the truth of the family concept. After knowing the truth you can make liberation wherever you go. You can explain the truth clearly and establish it wherever you go, no problem.
Does your grandfather live with your family today? True Parents are in the grandparents position, the Blessed couple is in the parents children and you have many children. This is like the king's royal family. For the first time God has a royal family headed toward perfection. That family is headed to the ideal place once they go to spirit world. They will go to the most ideal high level of family, that means the heavenly royal family. Originally, Adam and Eve were to attain perfection. They would have accomplished the royal True family system. After reaching completion centering on True Love they would have established the heavenly world. Do you understand? All people passing through this world would have been heavenly people. It is clear.
You are in the position of kingship more than your own society. All families center on the parents nowadays. The grandfather's position is first, parents are second and children are third. Modern society is focused on the second position. You represent the Blessed couple, the kingship of all mankind's families. How proud you should be! Absolutely proud. With this kingship tradition your children will be princes and princesses in the future. They will automatically inherit your kingdom. The first family, Adam's family lost this completely. It is time to regain it by making the re-creation system centered on rebirth. It is very difficult to do. This is the restoration of God's job.
This is so valuable. Do you think you can exchange this for one country? No, it is more valuable than an entire country. What would equal the value of this heavenly territory you create? God and all creatures would be included in this area. Centered on this place you would inherit everything. The purpose of Blessed families is to become that kind of family. Would you like Father to move in and live in your own family? The enjoyable life is absolutely dedicated to serving parents and this is automatically connected to the heavenly kingdom tradition. If you dedicate everything to the family you will automatically be connected to heaven. How wonderful, how valuable, how enjoyable, how precious this is! You cannot exchange it for anything. You know it very well. This morning I have heard it well; American women have said they know how valuable this kind of life would be. This is very good. Good is spelled g-o-o-d. That is double God. The subject and object of this concept are found in there. That good thing exists in English.
Our aim, our terminal purpose is this precious goal. How wonderful our lifestyle is! Even if Satan pushes us down it is no problem. When we reach the zero point we will automatically spread out and create a heavenly power by which we can lift up the Earth. God says, "I need these kind of people." He puts woman in His left pocket and man in His right pocket. He walks along thinking, "My situation is too wonderful and too enjoyable." He is dancing and laughing and making loud sounds. With this kind of love between the parent and children, you can never be separated. God was separated from His children one time and since then has been walking the road of agony. This was such a difficult situation and God has known it well.
You have to make yourselves a model. After that you will become heavenly ambassadors. That is the most ideal way for humankind. God is cleaver isn't He? That is our conclusion. You always think, "I want to become high level. I want to become number one, on top. I want to be the President's wife or the world level queen." A man wants to become the world level king. That is what everybody wants. This is what everyone desires, but after the fall every opportunity was lost. So again, we have to find that place and this is the restoration process. We have to go through restoration or we can never come back to the original way.
That is all we need to know. Everything the human being needs is in this area surrounding your home. For the first time we can be completely satisfied. All of your children will look like God in your eyes and to your children you look like God Himself. You can never divide; wherever the husband goes, the wife will go automatically and wherever the parents go, the children will go automatically because they are all God. God will follow that family saying, "I like this!" It's true. You are God's living, breathing relatives; God's children. You will want to stay in that place forever. You will stand forever as this vertical pillar. In there you will find God's absolute love, ideal and life forever. Everything is an enjoyable thing. There is much variety and all of it has value. All this is in one place centered on God. Many people now have property and use it as a measure of their success but it cannot compare to this area you will have.
This is a true tradition. It is unthinkable that American daughters-in-law send their grandfathers and grandmothers off to live in the old folks home. It is like hell.
Your eyes represent God, your nose represent your parents. It is the highest feature on your face and in the middle, that means it has the center position. The mouth is in the children's position. These three also symbolize God, Adam and Eve and all things. What is the purpose of the head moving around? Does it move for the sake of the eyes, nose or mouth? For the eyes, because they represent God. On the outside of your eyes, there is white, then blue, then a black dot in the center. That is the deepest place. One eyeball represents three levels. The head moves to look at something and the body then follows. All of that action is for the sake of the eye. Everything follows the movement of the eyes.
Two nostrils representing Adam and Eve join together here. We need two nostrils. The mouth represents the material world. We have thirty two teeth which is eight times four. That is all four directions starting over and over again. It symbolizes all creatures and all things.
Our family exists in three tiers. Since the grandfather's position is open now, Father is recreating this in a king's royal family position. Since it has to have a mainstream that is what Father made from the individual to the family to all different levels. It has become the highway course. All the walls and barriers have come down and now you can travel the smooth highway Father has created. You have a car, don't you? The mind is in the driver's position. Your mind should control your body. Do you want to go fast or slow, which one? You need strong gas. How do you get it? Through prayer you receive vertical power. You can push down the gas and take off like you are flying.
Cain and Abel must be united and come into oneness. By uniting Father's children and our children too, we should form a mainstream. Growing up, many families will create a mainstream all moving in the same direction of the elder brother's position. We will connect to other families and to the nation becoming heavenly people. The royal family will be connected to all this. There are two kinds of kingdoms on the earth. The heavenly kingdom will be connected to the same tradition.
What is the offshoot from the mainstream? What would be the branch? Many types of brotherhood; the elder son will take the mainstream direction and so will the younger brother. They will follow the mainstream water making it bigger and bigger like the Hudson River. Blessed families should not only occupy the world with love but they should also create this and become the royal family. In summary, as Father pointed out, in the 100 meter diameter around your home, you will see what kinds of families are there and you will make them like your own family. After doing that you will become the royal family. The center always connects in three different ways, forming a mainstream of families. This is the path and the goal of Blessed families.
Blessed families are not just haphazard families. This is the first family which began along with Father.
"Celebration" is written like this in Chinese characters. This part means big brother. Big brother can be written only in this way. It is the only meaning this character has. This side means "show" so together it means big brother shows off. How wonderful is when you find some lost big brother. We congratulate you because you found your big brother. Now you have that tradition.
This word means "blessing." It shows the number one mouth or character which represents the entire world. Here we see four directions which represents the world. Representing the world, one person shows up. This mouth also means truth. To show the number one truth is the blessing. Oriental style writing is always made up of very revealing characters. Every word means something. You don't always understand it, but sometimes you do. Father is explaining this for the first time.
We have known about the existence of these three things; love, life and lineage. Until now we have lived day by day with no plan, but now we live with this in mind. In order to do this we have to win over the satanic world. Satan has very strong weapons which include wine and drugs. He uses them to destroy heavenly orderliness. Drugs are destruction itself. They are the palace of Satan.
In the Orient we have a saying about wine and women stimulating mischief. This refers to a person who gambles and what have you. These are the three things we need to do away with. Almost all crimes stem out of here. There is no big crime case which doesn't have something to do with wine or women. Drugs of course are just a much stronger form of wine. After using drugs you have no control over anything including women. You conscience has been acting as a brake, but soon the brake doesn't work anymore. Thousands of years of achievement can be washed away overnight because of drugs and women. We have a saying in the Orient to be aware of these things.
Do you have wine in your house? Why not? Because Satan sent millions of people to hell through using alcohol. Satan sent millions and billions of people to hell through misusing sex. The basics of the human being will be destroyed by drugs. Cigarettes come in between. First it begins with having a cigarette and then they say, "Let's go have a drink of wine." Next they use drugs. A man takes his cigarette and puts it in a woman's mouth and already they are connecting. Then they drink, sharing their wine and drugs also. What God hates most, what God does not want to see is this illicit love. Adam and Eve fell because of that. Every breakdown within society, the cause of our rotten society came about because of that power. This culture and civilization have been destroyed through sexual activities. These are Satan's strong, formidable weapons.
Sixty thousand people die every day and end up in hell in spirit world. Nobody is thinking about stopping and reversing this trend, only Reverend Moon thinks about it seriously. Do you think God will look at this and say, "You are doing the right thing," or do you think He will say, "Let them go to hell"? So, will you ever smoke? Will you ever even pretend to smoke? Those who say, "I will still smoke once in a while Father," please raise your hands. In all seriousness, if you are so hooked, Father will give you a forty day grace period. You can get over that habit within this forty days. If you want to do that most quickly, you can smoke three cigarettes at the same time. Continue that for forty days and at last you will say, "I don't like those cigarettes!" and you will throw them out. It is the same with wine. You can put a hose into your mouth! You can do this for forty days, but not more. Those who promise and pledge, "Father I will never smoke, I will never drink again," please raise your hands. Drugs too and sexual activity too. Illicit love is the worst thing you can imagine. You must have correct sexual action. Today we have a new beginning as far as these matters are concerned.
In order to teach our children, we should bow down together. Our children will then learn how to worship. You are the modern God and your children are the future God. You must educate them correctly. You have to teach them heavenly kingship. Why is this so important? By doing this, we can go to the same place Father goes in the spirit world. This is not just light talk, this is serious truth and reality. You can imagine eternity. Compare one year or even one hundred years to eternity. A hundred years is like one second in eternity. So don't lose this precious hundred years or one second. So many walls exist here in between people. You have to make preparation to tear down those barriers. That is the indemnity way. Your lifestyle is most important. Father understands clearly the future of the world so Father wanted to take persecution to go to the place of agony. Now peace and silence surround him. They hit me everywhere from every corner. All their power was spent hitting me. Did Reverend Moon immediately fall down? No, every time persecution came I was standing in the vertical place. The vertical place covered me. When outside forces hit me, they all automatically fell down. You can inherit this property from me so ultimately the individual can be lifted up and eventually the family, the tribe and as time passes, the nation and the world will also be lifted up. Last time America, the Soviet Union and China, all three powerful countries came together to try and shoot me. Now the only one that remains is Reverend Moon. America is going down. The Soviet Union has disappeared. China is in the same situation. North Korea is included here too. There is now no enemy. They want help from Reverend Moon. That pillar, the vertical center is automatically standing there and going all the way up to the top place. In the future the only one able to accomplish this is Reverend Moon. America didn't know this and the Soviets didn't know this. All humanity is looking up to me and saying, "He is going up to the top of the mountain to make it a flat place. Green spring is coming." We will meet in this springtime. This time is based on the True family system, the royal family. It is the ideal family system. Father made up everything and is teaching it clearly to you. Do you understand? What a wonderful position you are in. Don't forget that. I cannot trust or believe in American people. They promise one time very clearly but then forget their promise and it disappears. That is an American tradition. How can I trust American people? They are only thinking about themselves. That is the pragmatism of Americans. The Oriental concept is different from that.
Oriental people are now going back to their hometown. Many Oriental people have understood the truth so they are now following the concept of the religious world. There are four major religious realms in the world now: Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism and Islam. They started in the Oriental world. They want an ideal home world, home nation and home family. They are spending a long, long time to find that kind of valuable thing. Finally the fruit of that Oriental concept and expectation was born. The fruit of that valuable concept came in the form of Reverend Moon. The Western world can only be saved by Reverend Moon, otherwise there is no way. Is this real? Just think how valuable this place is. This is not a normal place to attend. Father is seventy three. He is close to spirit world. With one step he could disappear from the earth. How much the future generation will long for him. It is natural to pass away when one reaches their eighties. No matter how much someone doesn't want that to happen, it does.
You should feel unchallenged pride within yourself that you have received the Blessing. The most important thing is that we cannot stain the blood lineage. True love, True life and True blood are what come from the Blessing. Those three make a trinity and cannot be separated. Every time two connect, the third is following. Love is in there following life and lineage cannot separate. Lineage automatically connects to life and love. History cannot separate those three. This is the trinity system.
How can you make expand horizontally? With your wife or with your husband. Otherwise you cannot inherit the most valuable things from me. You absolutely need partnership. Without that you cannot inherit True love, True life or True lineage. Why do you need those three? You need the tradition of connecting to history. Those three are the most valuable traditions. The sexual organs are the connecting place. It is the place where those three things are welded. That is where the strong bond begins. It is the most valuable place. It cannot be exchanged for anything. That's why Father calls the sexual organs the love palace. It is the original dwelling place. The love palace is there, the life palace is there, the lineage palace is there. It is most precious. If you use that organ to make sin how can God forgive you? There is no way. Immediately you drop down to the dungeon of hell. It is the most valuable thing. If you break that then all the created world, center value will come down. That means God's purpose will be cut from all things. Through that God cannot make a True love partner, True life or lineage partner. God lost absolutely everything. God cannot stand that or permit it to continue so we must go the restoration course. That means recreation. God has the blueprint. Up until now, it's taken thousands and thousands of years for God to find only one man, Adam. After the completion of man, Adam had to make the complete woman, Eve. In this time, Father stands in that position. Mother is horizontally on the same level. Mother is proclaiming all over the world, "From now we have the liberation of the woman's world." This is the proclamation time; April 10th, 1992 at the Olympic stadium in Korea. From there heavenly fate is changing. Until now women have been going the indemnity way. They have been pushed down everywhere. They could not take the equal position in past history. From now the woman's side can achieve equalization. I made that.
Father is asking us deeply, to keep ourselves pure. We should never let ourselves become colored by the world. Keep yourself pure. Keep purity in your blood lineage, in your love, in all the Godly qualities that Father wants us to have.
This is very interesting. Parents arrange a meeting between a girl about to be married and her possible groom. The girl takes a first look at the groom and after she sees him, she has a better idea what she would like in a husband. She wants someone somewhat better than him. She meets the second person and decides she wants someone still slightly better than him. This goes on and she usually ends up not marrying one at all because she can't find one. It takes a long time and if she is lucky she becomes so experienced that she says, "Any one of them will be alright" because she is about to lose all. When you miss all your chances to get married, you become a woman in the street. This rather typically happens in Korea.
When Father gives you a spouse, you should think you can't get anyone better than him. Usually you're not going to be instantly happy. If anything, he will be the last kind of man you would want. What Father likes, you don't like. Usually from that zero point, great sons and daughters can be born. For about three years you are going to have all sorts of problems. Father warned all of you that it is not your happiness you are getting married for.
Once a baby is conceived, you cannot abort it. No matter how many babies you may have you can't do this. You never know what that baby is going to grow up to be, maybe even the president of the whole United States. If Father's mother believed in abortion, would such a man have been born? No, Father might not have been born.
Now there is a controversy whether abortion is right or wrong. It is very clear from God's standpoint. It is bad. Those babies represent the lineage, love and life. In that one cell that exists after conception, love, life and lineage all connect there. Those who support abortion say it is just a cell, but it represents the parents and everything else. It has equal value to the parents. To kill that certainly is wrong. The father's love and mother's love is in that would-be baby. Isn't that true? To kill that baby is the same as killing the parents.
We know how hard Father worked to establish the Blessing so it is not something of small or simple value. Now Father is bequeathing this to us so don't forget how valuable it is. Guard it with your life. If this kind of True Blessed couple emerges in each of the fifty states, America will never perish no matter how bad it becomes. You know how hard God worked nurturing Father to get to this point. God wants to protect all the victorious value which Father made. Father wants to bequeath everything to you. Why? You are the children.
Now we are given the positions of tribal messiah. We have come a long way to be given this position. It is Father who made this tradition and we are the ones who are trying very hard to inherit that and eventually become successful as Father has done. Those Blessed couples who pledge this, raise your hands. God bless us!

TRUE FAMILY RESURRECTION AND WORLD LIBERATION, REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

Belvedere, New York April 19th, 1992 Translator - Sang Kil Han

The topic of Father's speech this morning is True Family Resurrection and World Liberation. What is the definition of True family? Can anyone describe what a True family is? A True family is the family which God imagined in His ideal and then created. Namely, Adam's family as it should have been accomplished. We would have seen the revival of the individual, family, nation, unto the world level and today we would not have any war or any of the other difficulties that we face. Satan would be no more. There would be no
division of so many different countries and languages. There would not be such a division of cultures.
Who is the ancestor of America? The Anglo Saxons. But they took themselves apart and built their own country. If the fall did not take place in the ancestry of mankind, then it would have been Adam's country, Adam's civilization and Adam's world.
We are talking about revival; being born again. Today is Easter. If Adam and Eve did not fall, they would have given birth to Godly children and their number would have expanded to the world. Adam and Eve, being the True couple would have formed a True family. Because we did not have a True couple, we did not have a True child, True brothers and sisters or True Parents. True Family originates from God. From there, God's love, God's life and God's lineage would have started. The rest of the world, like the True couple would have inherited God's love, God's life and God's lineage. Satan's love, Satan's life and Satan's lineage would not have been in any part of mankind. Centering on Satan the world has been formed. What is the destiny of that world? We must return to the original world. What do we do after returning? We go the original path, the original way we should have gone in the beginning. We should return in our love, return in our life and return in our lineage as well.
Once fallen, since we cannot go directly back to God, we go through True children. That means Cain should return through Abel. Not directly, but according to the Principle of recreation, we should be created again.
God created the environment first. In the environment there is always subject and object. All relationships, all things, form subject and object relationships. Big or small, everything comes in a pair system of plus and minus. We see it in mankind, in the animal kingdom, the vegetable kingdom, even in the mineral kingdom and even in the smallest atom we have this relationship of subject and object; plus and minus; male and female. What is flowing right in the middle consistently, from the smallest up? Love. Love is flowing between plus and minus. Each different kingdom does not exist separately or unconnected. Instead one plus and minus and another plus and minus form a bigger minus to a bigger plus. Together, later, they form a bigger minus to stand in front of an even bigger plus and connect.
We can understand it easily in mankind. The family will get together and form a minus to the clan. The clan is the family's plus. But then the whole clan is a minus to the country which would be the next larger plus; mutually, reciprocally, corresponding relationship, so to speak. We too want to expand to a bigger and bigger entity. We want to form the world. As we see in the original creation, as well as in the recreation, first the environment becomes a big factor. It is a very important factor here. Secondly the subject/object relationship. And thirdly, the reciprocal relationship. That is the way God created all things.
The importance of Cain and Abel relationships starts right here. In God's recreation process, as well as in the original creation process, subject and object relationship is very important. We see plenty of examples of this in the Bible, namely good and bad seem to be in conflict and fight, but eventually goodness will raise up. That is none other than this point. If the fall did not take place, in His original creation, God would have been the subject and the rest of the world would have been the object. But it became upside down. God became the object. How sorrowful! We have to restore this. We see that the first son, who did not belong to God, always took the first position of subject. God's side, as the second son, always tried to restore the elder sonship. So there is always a struggle. After good and evil fight and establish enough condition then Satan has to separate. Satan separates from goodness. That has been the way of history.
God wants to enlarge His nuclei. Satan always ends up in destruction, getting smaller and losing. That pattern is visible everywhere; in the family, in an individual and in the big world. Today we see the confrontation between the right wing and the left wing. Now is the time of world war; not a small, but a big confrontation. In the World Wars, the one who struck first lost. They represented Satan's side. God's side was struck first, paid indemnity and then unified and won. You cannot have antagonism and hate in Godly thinking. That is not Godly; God does not have those things. If you say, "No that is not true. God has hatred and acts in hatred," then you have a view of dualism, which is not true but very difficult to explain. We know that history is moving towards recreation. We are going back to the original position. Restoring, or going back to the original position is to be recreated. As we look at restoration closely we see all these three. We say, "What about amoebas? Amoebas exist all by themselves. It is a single sex animal." Science didn't get around to that yet. It must be found; the relationship between subject and object. We think it is not clearly divided into subject and object, but it is. So the subject and object become a very important part of recreation as well as creation.
Even our two eyes, do they have two different points of focus? No. Even though we have two eyes, their focal point is the same. What is the focal point of man and woman? Love. If we do not make the right focus the value of existence diminishes. There is no value in that existence. You may ask the question, "What is recreation?" Basically, you need these three elements. First, environment should be there. Second, subject and object should be firmly established. And the third point, the reciprocal relationship should improve moving higher and higher and higher.
No matter what circumstances or what environment you go to there is always a subject and an object. The only difference is that one subject may be a good subject while another subject may be bad. That is the only difference because there is always a subject under any circumstance. When you walk in the Unification Church there are subjects and there are objects. Is the subject a good one or does he happen to be a bad subject? If you walk into a Christian church, of course you will find a subject there. Each and every one will say, "My subject is a good subject." That means a good God and a bad God, which is possible.
What are subject and object bound by? There are not bound together by money or by anything else other than love and that love is True Love. True Love means original, absolute love.
What does God live for? Does God exist so He can create a lot of money? Or does He strive to be the master of knowledge? Does He exist to show off power? Is that His pleasure in living? All of these are part of God. He doesn't have to do anything. He is the creator so He can make anything. One thing that even God cannot do at will, unless He has some other element, is create love. By yourself you can pretty much achieve the perfection of anything else, but not love. You cannot perfect love without having somebody in front of you, either your subject or object.
Ask a woman the question, "Why were you born? Why did women come into existence?" So she can enjoy a lot of wealth? No that is a degradation of the ideal of women. So she can enjoy enormous power? No, you are not very happy hearing that. What about knowledge? Which is eternal and never changes? You name it, anything that is changeable: power, wealth and money are all changeable except for True Love. Not American love. American love is not eternal or permanent. Through that subject and object relationship and reciprocal relationship it improves and becomes bigger and bigger towards the universal level.
In this recreation God starts the subject realm. It is ever expanding becoming bigger and bigger. The subject realm becomes bigger so that all the other realms gather around and become just as big. Eventually it develops so that God Himself is the subject.
Look at what Father has drawn on the board. Obviously God should have been at the top of the subject realm but now God is down here and Satan is up above God in the fallen world. In the constant effort to make this right side up and restore it, we see that what used to be on top is now on the bottom and vice versa. What is it that we see in history which does not change? From the individual to family, clan, nation to the world, we should go each step of the way being an unchangeable person. That is the development of True Love to the highest level. Only True Love can travel through and penetrate this barrier and go higher and higher. This is the realm of the fight. In other worlds, we always struggle against Satan so that we can separate from him. The world is involved in an individual level war, a family level war, clan level war, nation level war and the world level war. In the same way it is Adam's individual, Adam's family and Adam's clan and Adam's nation and world. As recreation goes through these stages, it is not just the perfection of Adam that we see. The liberation of this world is also taking place.
In front of Adam, Satan should have bowed down and availed himself to the object position. Love is the ultimate. It can gather many pluses and minuses. What can possibly be more precious than your own life? We have learned that it is love. How does it work? Only the power of love can do this, not the power of life. Even if we live or die we cannot at our will, but with love we can separate and cut off from Satan.
As we see, plus is written here and minus is written here. That means the love on this side should be stronger than the love on that side in the old world. We should weaken whatever we inherited there and on the other side we should build up a stronger love and connect our life and everything to that side.
[Father explains as he makes a diagram on the board.] So we see the perfection of Adam. The perfection of Adam is not individual perfection. The perfection of Adam means the individual perfection of Adam and Eve and perfection in Adam and Eve's clan level, perfection on the national level and perfection of Adam and Eve's world level and also perfection of Adam and Eve on the universal level. This is horizontal. What they achieve horizontally would connect to the vertical, so vertically that is how they develop. When they reach here then it will be connected. Once this is done the satanic realm will be separated. The result is the separation of Satan. When Adam achieves this then Satan will be separated, which is the whole purpose of God. This is the way it should be.
This is above and this is below. In this fashion history repeats itself. But that standard and path that Father says only love can travel will reach to the throne of the highest heaven. If you condense it, it will be a dot right here. Centering on that dot, the individual, family, clan, nation, the whole world, even the universe reaches that same high level. So what is the True family? It is this revival of Adam's family.
Throughout history the struggle or fight started with mind and body. Until now your body has been fighting your mind. This is a problem. On one side there is religion and on the other side politics. Like mind and body, they fight to separate and improve. Until now, just like our individual struggle, the body always strikes the mind. It should be the other way around, but now we see the body always gets the better of the mind. In just the same way, the political world always attacks religion. On the 27th of September 1991, Father launched the big operation of the religious realm, the Federation for World Peace and the political world avails itself as a big plus here. This is the culmination of a long effort by God to put the religious federation and the political federation in the right positions and have the religions play the role of plus and the other the role of minus for the sake of world peace. This represents the eventual development of mind and body. Religion is in the mind's position for the first time, and politics is in the body's position, where it belongs. To restore that environment, the left and right wing in the political world, and the religious world as well will conflict. So the political world and the mind world, this plus and minus are fighting. The goal is for them to eventually come up with a Godly plus.
We can look back at history and see that at the end of World War II, God prepared, centering on Father and his family, for all mankind to become one and the purpose of recreation could have been attained right there. The purpose of all religion could have been attained right there. But mankind did not know and it took another forty years to re-indemnify that failure completely. We know this through the Divine Principle.
Just like that, at the time of World War II, France, America and England, all three, would have through their struggle received . . . England was in Eve's position, America was in the Abel position and France was in the Cain position. England and France were enemies in the past. Abel was given birth by England. Today we are in the same time centering on Father.
Father mentioned the nation in Eve's position. Of course it all started from the individual level but as history progresses, it will be culminated in the nation's position. Eve's position is no longer an individual position but a nation's position. It is an autumn time position. By Eve embracing both the Cain and Abel position, they go towards the country in Adam's position. The one who harvests this is the one to come.
This was to be the result of God's working through Christianity for four thousand years and Abel, namely America, should have known it and fulfilled his responsibility. Looking back forty years ago, we see that by failing, America started going down and going through tremendous pain and misery and turmoil until today. Adam himself, Father, had to indemnify the whole failure. Not only for the failure of America, but for the failure of England and the failure of France. England, America and France should have been in the realm of object to God. The realm of subject or Father's realm should be there. That is the whole purpose God has been working for. Satan took hold of the head so God had no place else to hold on. God had to take hold of the tail. The countries in these three positions had to be recreated. Japan, America and Germany were called in those positions. Usually something which fails God, God never uses twice. We see England was replaced by Japan and America should have been replaced, maybe by Italy, but it wasn't so. America remains in the same position. Why is that? Because it is in the second Israel position and without the first Israel and second Israel, the third Israel cannot be connected. So God almost had no choice. Of course God could not use it again, but who took that country? That is what Father did because the responsibility for that rests on the son. Father who is in that position took America for the second time. It was not God who took it. Father put America into that position and nurtured this country so it could fulfill its responsibility.
Korea and Japan were enemies, Japan and America were enemies and America and Germany were enemies. Isn't this so? Christians are still there, but their foundation crumbled already. Centering on America someone in the son's position had to restore and recreate the whole thing all over again. The arena of restoration has been the Unification Church. Through the Unification Church Father restored these nations to their original positions. To Father, Korea is an enemy. It is not even a friendly country. Until now, to this moment, Korea has opposed him. Now Korea welcomed and embraced him like it should, like God expected it to. Japan too. America too and Germany is no exception. All by himself, Father alone undertook this enormous, historical work.
We know to a great extent what has happened throughout history. The very work of God through religion which took four thousand years should be re-indemnified. It could not be done in four hundred years because Father, who is the individual who must do this cannot live for four hundred years. He had to do it in forty years. It is so staggering that you cannot imagine the work that Father has done single handedly in the last forty years. The task to accomplish in this forty years was to push back all the major opposition powers and make it so that there would be no opposition to him or to each other. Father had to accomplish this in a mere forty years. He couldn't do just anything, he was required to do this complete work within forty years. At the height of opposition, in 1975, the entire world came against Reverend Moon and opposed him. That was the very year he sent out missionaries to all four corners of the world, hundreds of different nations. Head to head, one to one, Father pushed Christianity and all the secondary and third major religions back so everybody came against him. 1991 made twenty years Father has been working intensely here in America. Father came on November 18th, 1971. Father met Kim Il Sung on November 30th, 1991, exactly twenty years later, slightly ahead of schedule of a twenty one year course. Father had to embrace even Kim Il Sung who represents the entire left wing world. He is the second advent on Satan's side. After that, Father simply has no enemy. Japan was included on Father's side after the 26th of March when they invited Father to their country.
The Washington Times interview with Kim Il Sung was amazing. The fact that Kim Il Sung agreed to do it and how he responded to the Washington Times representative was unbelievable. He was all ears and very happy. North Korea threw out the Washington Times team but Father pushed them and they went back again and saw Kim Il Sung. The results have been fantastic. Within the North Korean country, the communist party worked in one way and Kim Il Sung worked in quite a different way. There was an obvious rift between the two. Everybody, even the party members wondered, "What is Reverend Moon in this world?" They never imagined anybody him and the fact that these events were actually happening. "What is the meaning of this?" is the question they were asking. Nobody was able to even get close to Kim Il Sung let alone have an interview with him. American, Japanese, even the Korean press was denied access to him. The Washington Post and the New York Times, America's biggest daily newspapers could not interview him. Nobody could succeed, but even though the party threw us out, Father stood up and Kim Il Sung welcomed them back. He said, "I didn't know." That is what his answer was. The Washington Times will have its tenth anniversary this year in May. Ten years after Father created The Washington Times, it served its purpose.
Now, like Father predicted a long time ago, no country opposes Father. Russia does not oppose Father. America has no reason to oppose Father because he is doing so much for this country. Japan too. Germany too. If they oppose Reverend Moon they lose. They will never gain from opposing Reverend Moon anymore. People in every country think Reverend Moon has such great power. They know, "Anytime we go against him we will lose everything."
We must realize this amazing fact. Today Americans knows what they did not know forty years ago. America did not know where to go, what to do, what was the purpose of God making them victorious forty years ago. Now after forty years of bloody, intense re-indemnification, America stands in exactly the same position as forty years ago. The major difference is that now they know what they are supposed to do. What an improvement! The realm of the third Israel now comes to the limelight. Do you understand? Of course Father is doing everything but what Father is focusing on now is the unification of North and South Korea. It is an amazing realization on the part of all mankind. Everybody feels, everybody shares the same idea that nobody can unify North and South Korea except Reverend Moon. That is the grass roots opinion of South Korea and even Kim Il Sung agrees. Father reconfirmed that at this time. Father said Kim Il Sung knew that without Father the reunification of Korea is not possible. America's CIA and Germany too, know this. They see Reverend Moon as the main one who can bring unification. All the intellectuals of the world today, in this great world of communication including America and Germany, know that without Reverend Moon unification is not possible.
Even in this country people are beginning to know that the second generation problem, the youth problem is the major, most important problem. No one in the first or existing generation can do anything about it. It takes some new person to do this and they know Reverend Moon is this person. In Russia, any intellectual knows, when Father goes to a communist country, they cannot influence Father but Father can influence the communist country. Everybody knows that. Kim Il Sung knows it too. He knows he himself should be influenced by Father, not the other way around. It is an amazing realization.
So we can see that instead of through the second Israelites, in 1945, at the end of World War II, what God wanted to accomplish is now being done through the third Israelites in 1991. The world knows about it too. So the enemy mark has now been erased between Korea and Japan. The same is true between Japan and America and America and Germany. They are no longer enemies. This could never happen automatically. Only through the Unification Church and the intense work of Reverend Moon has this enemy mark been erased for the first time. We must realize this came as a result of going over and pulling down the walls and boundaries of religions. In other words a revolution has taken place in religion. A revolution has also taken place between the races. There is no sense of race anymore. Somebody has even taken the wall down between satanic love and Godly love so this love is flowing for the first time freely. A revolution in love has also taken place. There are clear signs. These are all historical achievements.
We are going over the boundaries of religion, going over the hard boundaries of race, going over even the barrier of satanic love so that True, Godly love can flow, and all are going toward world peace forever. We are reaching a new dimension of high level modern society. Do you understand? You no longer see satanic connection. You see no more satanic connection in this new restored world. We have already returned to a God centered, parent centered world which is the revival of True Family. Another thing that is very visible is that the resurrection or revival of the True family can now be done in the horizontal way. When Jesus had to work through the spirit world, he had to descend vertically. It was very difficult, time consuming and took a lot of conditions. Now all is done in a horizontal way in no time at all. In the future this same purpose will be accomplished.
The third Israel has now landed firmly. The completion of Adam's family and the world level foundation has taken place. Because there is no satanic world, the third Israelites will follow the wake of Reverend Moon with no opposition. The family will tag along with him because there is no Satan to distract them. Everybody was following Father including Mother. Mother was following Father closely because Mother doesn't know how to fight. So just like a shadow she is always with Father. When this time was near, Father made Mother stand on the front line and we saw the big rallies which took place. After doing this the first, second and third times, rallying the women in Japan and Korea as well, Father was able to proclaim the liberation of entire womanhood. All around the world, women have been liberated for the first time in history. So there is no meaning for you to promote women's liberation, Father has already done it! [Laughter.] It's true!
Until now women had to stand right behind Adam and Adam was supposed to recreate Eve. But not anymore. Adam and Eve, just like in the original position can stand side by side, equal. All of this contributed towards God. God is the big plus, the absolute plus and Adam and Eve together, side by side will form the perfect minus. They will automatically combine into one. That is the completion of God's ideal of creation. This overview of what Father has done in history makes us now understand for the first time that world peace is possible. The liberation of the world is possible. Until now the world has been fettered. It is now liberated. This is a humble place, but to the universe this is a place of proclamation to the world: "World, you are now liberated!" Amen! Amen! Amen!
Now Father wants all of us to inherit this absolute faith that what we are doing is right. Father wants us to inherit this self reliance, in other words, the confidence that "I can do it." Compared to what Father had to go through for forty years, our task is nothing. It can be done.
Yesterday was Father's thirty third wedding anniversary. If Jesus had not died in his thirty third year, he would have married in that year. If he did get married then everyone, many people, would have partaken in that position. The world would have come into one at that time. Originally Easter Sunday is the 17th of April. This is to proclaim that as well as the revival of Jesus, the revival of True Family was at the same time. Today, Father proclaims here and now, the revival of the True family on the 18th of April. Eighteen is the number six multiplied by three. Do you follow? Father now proclaims the revival of the True family. The result is that anyone who gets in our way, anyone who tries to stop our way, your advance, will immediately incur damage. Not after a while, but immediately, they will lose. Until now there was leeway. They had time to work around and come back to the right position. But here the good ancestors will come down and help, so immediately an effect will start taking place. Believe in this and immediately starting from this moment on, this will take effect. Of course it takes a little time, just as a sick man becomes better. That means it takes a few days or few weeks doesn't it? He has been sick a long time but he is not going to die. He is going to live, but obviously it will take some time to restore him to complete health. In the same way, only that time is remaining. More practically, Father feels in fourteen years everything will be accomplished. That is the year of 2006. Everything will have been accomplished. Sixteen years is nothing in the long expanse of history. That means it is already done. You can say it is already done.
Of the interrelationship of all elements: mankind, God, history, there is nothing Father did not explain. Through Father's teaching to the Unification Church we know all about these important relationships. As we know it is the most important explanation of how the world should be. You have to think that we have the most strong armament in the intellectual way. We have the strongest knowledge. It is a strong weapon. It took a mere four nights and five days for all communism to crumble down. Christianity is no exception, no religion is an exception. In a mere few days they will crumble and their foundation will exist no more because they are not right. Do you follow? This is what Father has done.
So the proclamation of the revival of True family has taken place on the 18th of April, 1992. Father took this opportunity of the thirty-third anniversary of Father's wedding on the 18th of April which is the same day as Easter Sunday in the Christian religion, which is very much a part of us.
Seven years from 1945 took us to 1952. After forty years, in 1992, everything, literally everything is now accomplished. At this time the Christian world has welcomed me to making the unified world. Seven years was all it had to take for the world to welcome Father. It could have been accomplished in 1952, but from there it has taken forty years of re-indemnification. Father has now accomplished that all. This too is a cosmic spring. The month of April is spring for the whole world. This is not only for this world but for the spirit world as well. Millions of years of God's history are now experiencing the cosmic springtime. This is springtime for the Unification Church especially. Until now it has been cold winter.
So from today on we will enter into the world of joy and the time of joy. It will make a lot of difference in time. Do you follow? With this vision and understanding, do you think the world's liberation is possible? [Yes!] All the misery will be liberated. You can even own things from now own. According to how hard we work we will connect with lots of wealth. This is the harvest time. How to harvest is the question. God is the subject of the people of the heavenly nation; namely the Tribal Messiah. What does the Tribal Messiah do? Harvest a lot to bring to the Godly kingdom. After accomplishing so much Father sees he doesn't have much to do anymore. What will he do? Our role is now to support. Just like we have been paying taxes to our country wherever we may be, the third Israelites should now support and dedicate and back up, in other words pay tax too, to the kingship of the third Israel. Do you follow?
So what is the topic of Father's sermon this morning? The Revival of the True Family and World Liberation. All we have to do is re-sow the seed which Father has bequeathed to us. Father gives us the seed so all we have to do is sow it again. Then what should we do? Should we go back to our hometown or should we just stay here? Just like we see in the Bible where Mary and Joseph went to register, we too and all mankind throughout the world should register. Do you understand, this time is now beginning the original nationality. You have to re-register your address. Now we are going into that time.
Everyone now stand up. On this eighteenth day of April, 1992, I hereby proclaim the Day of True Family. Amen! The fact that the world is now in the realm of liberation is now proclaimed in the name of God and True Parents. Amen! Let us pray. [Father prays.] Let us have three Manseis!
