The Way for the True Child

by Rev. Sun Myung Moon



4. The Blessing of Second Generation and the Attitude to Receive the Blessing

1) Foundation of Blessing and the Blessing of Second Generation

When Jesus was going to the place of death, the disciples were suppose to go together with him. We Unification Church members are to go the way of death. You should not run away. You should be determined to risk your life. Therefore those that oppose you are even risking their lives. There are so many people against you. The nation is against you, everyone is against you. Even your parents, your husband or wife, and your children are against you. They try so hard to go against you, that they start foaming at the mouth.

So, you must know how pitiful we have been. Your parents have set up the condition of going the way of death, to establish the foundation of the Unification Church following the Teacher. That is how your foundation, as well as your parents, has been laid, with Teacher's qualification. Do you understand?

What we have been doing is to follow the process of restoration through indemnity. To receive the Blessing, you should establish the condition for indemnity on the national level, which Jesus was not able to accomplish. So, because of this we are to go to the worldwide mission field. From 1957, the national level of mobilization began.

During mobilization, they had a condition to eat barley meals. Some even ate dog food. They went out to indemnify the mistake of Israel. The mistake of Israelite people was that they did not attend Judaism. That is why the Unification Church members left everything and set out to indemnify this. They have all gone out for mobilzsation. What do "precious children" mean? They should be offered for the sake of the nation. For the sake of the nation, mother, father, and children must be offered. Parents were even happy to leave their children in orphanages and get them back when they returned, instead of killing them as offerings. You must know that this was the kind of activities that were done by your parents. Understand? It was not to throw away their children. It was not because they didn't like you.

They went along the bloody path because there was no other way to go to Heaven. Because the established Christian Churches were not doing what they should have been doing, we, the Unification Church, replaced the Christian Churches and laid the foundation to fight for the sake of the nation, through the Blessing, even when the nation was opposing us. The Blessing was held in public, in front of the Korean population of 30 million people. If you go against the Blessing, you will be in big trouble.The Blessing is now well accepted by the public, isn't it? Japan and other countries of the world accept it. This is the kind of work the Unification Church does. In the future, when you get rich, you will be very eager to be Blessed.

Did Adam and Eve know all the theory on how to love before they loved? From now on, young school students and university students in their twenties will come in masses to receive the Blessing. Then, after 40 days and 120 days of training, they will be Blessed; then they will all become Unification Church members. Do you understand?

That is the bait. What is the attractive point of the Unification Church? Young men and women are saying, "Unification Church families have very good family lives centering on the eternal standard. Secular world families are breaking up, but when you join, there will be no more problems." Saying these kind of words, people will crowd into the Unification Church. Later, on university campuses we will give out "Application of marriage candidate". Then many will come. You can either be Blessed now or wait until that time. Should you wait? At that time, handsome men of the world, well built, blue-eyed, and with blonde hair will come. That may be the time of your Blessing. Would you be Blessed at that time? At that time of blessing, most of your partners are likely to be westerners. They would marry a small octopus like you. Really, they would marry you bad girls, who are like small octopuses. As Teacher sees your faces, you all look like empty shells.

You, and your father and mother have suffered a lot, therefore you all look the same. They have given birth to their children while being persecuted and not having enough food. When babies are born in a comfortable environment with good parenatal care, good babies are born. You were born through difficult circumstances, that is why you look like empty husks. But one thing: your origin is good. Were there enough things to eat? Teacher was hungry, so you were not able to eat a lot. You must know what we have been through.

Now that you have experienced fundraising, is not a penny precious? "Dad, please give me money." When you received the money easily, did you think, "My dad is easy to get money off"? You should know that there were many people who died. You must know that the money you are spending is like blood. Teacher is fighting so hard. I don't spend money. I do not spend for myself. You know the situation the world is in. You must work hard for your mission from now on.

Well, you want to get a handsome and well-built man. Should I pick your partner from the secular world, throw one to you, another one to you, or shall I bind each one of you tightly with rope and place you in a fenced room, for your protection. Which one would you take? (The last one) Within the fence, just by yourselves? (Yes) You little squidlings.

You have all been in America.... Well, Americans are good-looking. Sometimes I think I would like to have an American son-in-law. (I don't think they look so good) That is because you are like the boogie-man. That is because you may have a mind like the boogie-man. They are actually good-looking people. Orientals are not so good-looking, are they? All are like squidlings.

Korean people in America are going through hardship to pay indemnity because Korea did not fulfil her responsibility. I see that Koreans have been suffering the most in their marital lives. But Koreans should have gone this way anyhow, shouldn't they? According to the Principle, isn't it the right way to go? Abel must go through the hardest course. That is why I have blessed you Koreans, to represent the people of the world. Yet you suffer so much, and your husband does not give you sympathy; but I do. You have been through a lot. So, if you don't have the ability to be self-sufficient, you cannot survive. You never know when you might be kicked out, do you?

Unification Church members don't know of any other place to go, because they are fearful of the Principle. Americans, the ones who had left the church, are coming back, because they don't know where else to go. When you see a person coming back according to his own will, the others will also be stuck here, because they don't have any place to go to. What good things does the Unification Church have? It is difficult here. During war time, does anyone like the war? After the war is over, there will be a peaceful world that all can enjoy. (133-148)

Why do we Bless the second generation? If their families are under persecution from the world, we should not Bless them. But from the providential view, Unification families have been through the age of persecution, haven't we? Who made it possible? Your fathers and mothers? Who made it possible? (Father) Which father? (True Parents) Who is above True Parents? Heavenly Father! Restoration is complete when you attend three generations of parents. This means, centred on the vertical parents, who are God and True Parents, you should connect to your own parents as the horizontal parents, by attending them. There are to be three generations of parents. (144-70)

2) Providential Time and the Blessing of Second Generation

Now you have become adults. In ancient times, second generations in the course of Canaan's restoration had thirty-six enemy nations of seven generations. But you do not have thirty-six enemy nations. There are seven plus twelve families to overcome, which is less than twenty families. You are to be united with those families' youths. The foundation has now been laid, which means that their parents cannot oppose them. God has made it possible. Therefore, the restoration through indemnity has been achieved substantially. Has it been in accordance with the Principle, that Teacher has been teaching or has it not? We have been fighting in this way.

So, before Teacher Blesses church members, Teacher's family should be Blessed first. Then, the destiny of Korea and the world, will be bound to you, the second generation. Therefore, this time my third daughter, Un-Jin, was Blessed. You should be horizaontally connected to her family, to go beyond the foundation of the family level. Do you understand? Even though you have set up the realm of family blessing, you should go down to rock bottom, where Satan cannot accuse you. Do you understand? This is the last battle, the last battle.

On the tenth, it is Teacher's twenty-sixth year since the Holy Wedding. A full twenty-five years has past. It is now the twenty-sixth year. So this coming Blessing has historical significance. As we complete this Blessing, the satanic world cannot accuse our families. If we cannot have the Blessing of second generations, we will be finished, because of accusation, won't we?

Next, we will see the trend that members of IFVOC (International Federation for Victory Over Communism) and all Koreans come, saying, "Let us ask Reverend Moon to give us the Blessing." People are saying that the Unification Church marriage ceremony is wonderful. Originally, this kind of marriage ceremony should have been called 'LiberationCceremony', to be held in style.! When this one is over, we may go for an eight-thousand couple blessing.

What is this marriage ceremony? At this time of transition, the family should make a solid foundation. The second generation of Satan's world will come over the bridge which is your foundation. Do you understand? The children of Korean leaders are gradually coming over the bridge, your foundation.

The course of restoration so far has been the restoration through indemnity in Satan's world. You climb up the hill to get redemption and to build a nation. Then, you are to come down to make the foundation, to attend Abel's family. Teacher needs for you to do this. As Teacher has been laying the foundation, it is your turn to restore young men and women through village meetings, so that you can make the path through which everyone can go over the hill. This is the time to do it. Do you understand?

So, you are now at the front line. This year's motto is 'Chon-guk-chang-gun' (To build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth), isn't it? You are now building the Kingdom of Heaven. Do you understand? Who will build the Kingdom of Heaven first? You should be the first. Centred upon the Unification family of the Teacher, the second generation family must be made. By doing this, Abel-type families can be established horizontally throughout the satanic Cain world.

Up until now, people have come up centred on Teacher. Your parents have come up with you, to now stand on the same horizontal level as Teacher. So, Teacher's family is going to make the link of balance, centred on the third daughter, Un-Jin. We don't need many: twelve families will be enough. It is okay with just three families for the condition. We don't need much.

When you say, "I marry today", it does not mean, "I marry somebody." The marriage is not centred on yourself. Instead, you are making a historical revolution in the name of the Unification family. Look, you are Un Jin's elder brothers and sisters aren't you? She is younger than you.! She had no idea that she would be participating in this matching until eleven o'clock in the evening three days ago. She did not have any paricular person in mind. She received the direction to come and prepare for the Blessing at eleven o'clock that night. There was no process of approval or agreement. We do not need this kind of approval or agreement.

We do this work quickly to make things crystal clear. It is not supposed to include thoughts from a third person. Whatever the decision, it must be done by True Parents, not by any third person. This should be done centering on True Parents. So I don't take your parents advice into account at all. (144-128)

3) Qualifications for Second Generation Blessing

How old are all of you now? (Born before 1966.. You were born before 1966, then how old are you? By Korean years, you are more than 22 years old. Do you understand the significance of second generation blessed families? Do you know all about it? I feel like giving you a test.

Which blessed family children are gathered here? Are 124 couples' children included here? (Yes, 124-couples' children are here) Let's see, raise your hands those who are 124-couples' children. 430-couples' children, are they here? (There won't be anyone from 430-couples' children). (144-54)

Do you know about the foundation of faith and the foundation of substance mentioned in the Divine Principle? What is the meaning of the foundation for the Messiah? Well, who are supposed to go that course? In the Divine Principle there are details of the paths that central figures have taken. Because of that we are to indemnify all of these in our lifetime. Then you must have firm faith; but I wonder if you are all ready.

(We made up a list of all those that have attended 40-day workshops) List? The 40-day workshop that was directed by Hyo-Jin when I was in prison: was it August 13th? Did you finish on the 14th? (Yes) All second generation must go through one. After the workshop, Hyo-Jin became sick and has suffered until now.

Ideally, a conscientious man who has a good personality should do what he thinks is good before he speaks about it. If you have the personality as the subject, to put this into practice what you say should not make it possible for others to accuse you. Do you understand? People who are speakers should practice their speeches. In Satan's world, even though you may be involved with fraud, they do not know the law of indemnity. But in Heaven's world, the law of indemnity is clearly unavoidable. (144-55)

Have you been expecting to receive the blessing? OO! You've been feeling good, haven't you? Our Un-Jin was told only this morning, and she shed tears. When she was asked why she was sad, she answered that it was because she would be separated from her parents. Then she asked, "Is it true that I will be married?"

Have all of you been through a 40-day workshop? (There are some who have not; they are in the back row) You must go through a 40-day workshop. In the future, you cannot become blessing candidates without passing the Divine Principle Exam. You should go through all the courses the Unification Church presents to you. Children of blessed families, would it be better for you to have a seven-day fast or not? Would you like that? Please tell me.

OO! How old are you? (25 years old by Korean age) 25 years by Korean age,; then you are 25 years old. Are you in America? Should you of blessed families have a 7-day fast or not? You have educated the children not to answer my questions! (There are many of us who have done a 7-day fast) Please raise your hands if you have) Should the Unification Church second generation do fasting or not? While you are not supposed to be fasting and you do, it is a sin because you are not eating while your mouth wants food, isn't this right? (We'd better not fast then) What? "We'd better not"? Are these words original law or principle? If you must fast, then you should. If you don't need to fast, then you should not. What kind of ridiculous answer is that? (I will not fast) You have made your own principle, when you say, "I will not fast". I will mark that answer as a failure. Zero marks. You should answer only if you know what answer is expected. What do you think? Should you fast or not? (We should ) Not all of you think that way, do you? Will you fast or not? Do you have to go the seven-year course, or not? (We should go) Why? Jacob's course should have been trodden by the Israelite people. Moses' course should have been trodden by the Israelite nation. Jesus' course should be trodden by Christians. Then the Unification Church Teacher Moon's course should be trodden by whom? (We should go) Has Teacher been through a seven-year course or not? ( Been through) (144-87)

Xxx! Are there some who are here that haven't completed the 40-day training? You have to keep the 40-days absolutely. (Yes, we have been told that people who haven't attended the 40-day workshop are not qualified.They know already.) So, they are not here, because they know about it? I mean is there anybody here who has not qualified? (Some are here) Why are they here? If they have not completed the 40-day workshop, we should not be having this meeting. (They know they are not qualified, but united to know more about Father's Will) Look! if that is the reason, you could ask all the beggars to come over here, couldn't you? (Shall we let them out?) Let them out.

"40 days" is like indemnifying 40 years, 40 years of the wilderness period. So, you have to accomplish the 40-day training, which represents the 40 years in the wilderness. Teacher has told Hyo-Jin that he shouldn't fail to do it. If you do not do it then a disastrous thing will happen. You may not be able to have this kind of time with True Father any more. Then you will become like dogs who eat poo, who are going to be eaten up by foxes. It is possible to have this kind of meeting, because Teacher set a special condition in prison. It may be better for you to be all Blessed. The law of indemnity does not allow you to be forgiven. (Father, we'll let them out) Yes, let them out! The one's that have not been attending the 40-days workshop should not be at this meeting. (As I told you, the ones who did not come to the mobile witnessing team even though they were supposed to have come are not allowed to be in this meeting. Father has decided, please....) Those who have not attended a 40-day workshop, there is another one coming up soon. Do not stay. This is the indemnity of 40 years. Since Teacher has indemnified, it is springtime again. You will meet the Teacher of the new spring.

Ideally, you should have the nation of Korea, on the foundation of unification of South and North. But because the nation is divided, your responsibility is cut in half. As South and North are divided, the destiny of Korea is in the hands of the second generation. Therefore, without being through 40 days of training the condition to do this is not met. Do you know that our blessed families are supposed to go through a 40-days separation time period? Did you know that?

Accomplishing the number four has always been the problem. The Principle says this.! During the 40-year course with Moses, did the Israelites perish because they opposed him? When you have finished the 40-days training, you must go the way of restoration, absolutely centred on the Will. Whatever the leader says, you must follow. If not, you will perish. Let go of those who don't attend. Then life will be harder for them. The one's who haven't been to 40-days training, do not attend. So many hooligans! (Itinerary Witnessing Team members, those that have not yet participated in IWT, please do not stay)

Men, please count! (One, two, three, ...) Only 35? Who attended 40-days training in America. (Many came at that time) Who are they? (Most of them are here, but we need to see the photos to be sure....) Bring the photos, the photos from America! (144-97)

4) The Attitude for Receiving the Blessing

It is an amazing reality that you receive the first and second generation Blessing. So far there are 36 couples, 72 couples and so on. But, God did not expect too much from them. God does not look well upon your parents, whom you have been attending. 36 couples, 72 couples, all have committed sins against the Will. God and I are worried about blessing the descendants of such people. So, you must have the determination this time, to set up new tradition of the Unification family. (144-126)

Fallen man should not marry. That's why there are nuns and priests of Buddhist and Catholic faiths. Why? The first ancestors of mankind were not able to marry, so you, as descendants of thousand's of generation, can you marry? The kind of person who goes against Heaven will perish. There is a saying by Confucius, "The one that attends Heaven increases, but those who oppose Heaven decrease." Are you qualified to receive the Blessing? Are you? Are you out of Satan's realm of accusation? How are you doing now? Are you not hesitating with how to go the Way of the Will? Those that are like that, shouldn't be here, because your conscience will accuse you.

Your eyes: raise your head. Let's see your eyes. In your eyes, how many ways of seeing people do you have ? Handsome man, ugly man, plain man, do you see them in such a way? You see people in three standards, don't you? In your eyes, do you see beautiful woman, ugly woman, and plain woman? Do you see like this or not? In the time of Adam and Eve, were there handsome men or ugly women or man and woman in between? Were there, or not? (There were not) Therefore in your eyes, you should be absolute, absolute and unwavering. Handsome men, ugly men and men in between are all the same. You have distorted vision. I can see you people trumpeting to me, "handsome man, handsome man!" According to the Principle, do you approve or not approve? Please answer, do you approve it or not? (We should approve it) Handsome man, not so handsome man, or ugly man, those who view men in three standards like this can not have a true marriage. That will be a false marriage. Some of you here are closely related to Satan.

Did Adam have the right of choice? Did Eve have the right to choose out of many men, and did Adam have the right to choose out of many women? Did they or not? (No, they did not) . There was only one man for Eve to turn to, even when she was crying joyful tears. She could see only one man, Adam. Even if he had broken legs or even worse, there was only one man, Adam. She was not allowed to see two men. Also Adam, wherever he ran around, no one else was there. He could not see two women. Could Adam and Eve select who they liked? "I don't like Eve. I want another woman," could he behave like this? If he had been stubborn, he would have lived alone for a long time and then died. Humanity would have perished. This means that his race would have ended. If you marry whomever you want to, it is hell; but if you marry not according to your own will, then it is like the Kingdom of Heaven.

Now there is only the Unification world. Even the Communists are talking about it. Try to fight the Communists in the university campuses. Communists will be pushed out, not the Unification Church. Go and fight them. Now the Unified world is near. In that world you should be proud of tradition. This means to be proud of the tradition of the Principle.

You come here without lipstick on, fearing Teacher's chastisement. You look into the mirror and say, "How ugly I look! Who would like to have me!" But it will be okay as long as Teacher's mind accepts you. Teacher will choose a good groom or bad groom. If you have a bad mind, no matter how beautiful you are, through my eyes I can see you going over the hill with one eye closed. Then, how can I get a good groom for you? This Teacher is a mysterious person. Did you know that? That's why I know if a country will perish and also the world.

Well, do you want to be matched quickly or not? (Quickly) The way to have a quick matching is to have people line up in two lines, close your eyes and grab one person each! Then how can you complain? The simplest way is to leave it up to your own destiny. Shall we do it that way? I like that way too. I will pray for God's full guidance. Everybody turn around. You don't know whether the person is a man or woman? Then men should take their watches off and women should keep them on. "Wow, this is my husband , my wife." "Thank you." Then you open your eyes. Next, it is possible that when you look he could be very handsome.

The glasses of love are the glasses of harmony of Heaven and Earth. Through that pair of glasses, even an ugly man with a rough and bumpy face looks so handsome. It is a blessing to have even a pock-marked person. You have such a face for the tears of love to fill the pock holes. With that thought in mind, as you feel his face, you may feel good. The taste of first love can digest the whole universe and can do even more. (144-82)

5) Blessing, Originally Parents to Give

What is the better way to choose your partner? Do you think it is good for me to choose or for you to choose? Let us decide. If I say okay, it is all okay. Isn't that right? Do you think that you can make a better choice? Do you want me to do it in a blink of an eye? Which do you want? (I want what Teacher does) I don't have that much energy, because I had a small lunch. You've got to give me a little sympathy. Now American members as well as European members want to be blessed by Teacher. That is their first hope. Therefore, I'd like to match you second generation, too. Originally, your parents should do it for you. With the right tradition of heaven, the marriage ceremony is the ceremony to inherit tradition. Everything is to be inherited centred on love. It means that the former generation is transmitted to the next generation. Have you heard these kinds of words?" People of the old Age" and "Age gap". These kinds of words are around because it is the Last Days. You should go through the transition period. (144-92)

5. Blessed Couples' Way of Love

1) Significance of "All is my love"

Why did God create this world? It is because of love. What type of love is it? Have you heard about "all is my love"? OO! Have you heard about the words "all is my love"? You may have heard about it, but you do not know that kind love, do you? It is so mysterious and strange. It is sometimes like a circle, and sometimes long and straight, isn't it? But you, woman, can you find this kind of love by yourself? (No) There is no other way but to go with bachelors who have unkempt hair. That is the way. If you say "all is my love", what is it? If you're receiving your husband's love, yet you hear there is a master of love, what would you feel? "Gee, how small my husband is. I would like to have God's love, all of God's love." You might feel this way. By saying, "all is my love", you may want to include God's love as your own. Everything is included in the saying, "all is my love". You should know that there is husband's love, mother's love, son's love and God's love, and that only love can hold all of this inside. It is not possible to hold everything with a wrapping cloth. Do you agree? As parents love their children they want to give everything of the world to them. They want to give, and give more. So big is their love, isn't it? But in terms of money, you look Hyo-Jin, I want to give you one million dollars, no more. That's about it. But the mind of love is limitless, unlimited, isn't it? It is so big, it has boundless value. Do you understand? For this reason, those that have love, own the universe. All happiness starts from love. The one who has love is the victor in any circumstances. This is the kind of definition or conclusion we can derive from love. No matter how beautiful a life you may enjoy, if you do not have love, you cannot be a victor, so you are a loser. Well, "All is my love", let's think about it, What is your name? (I am OO) That's a good name. You are well behaved. You are a single girl, so, do you want to have "all is my love" or "half is my love"? (I want "all is my love") Of course "all is my love." Even though you have a small face, you want to have love which is "all is my love". That is the way to think. (132-242)

2) An Aspect of Love

What does it mean to love? Does it mean to touch someone back to back? There is formation-stage love, growth-stage love, and completion-stage love. What do man and woman do first? They kiss? "You should learn," God said, "how to love, from kissing ...from top to bottom." Why do all men want to kiss? What does the mouth do? It provides the food we eat, the origin of life goes through it. So it symbolises God. Also, what is the Word? It also symbolizes God. The two meanings are expressed by the mouth. Therefore, people kiss to express their love. You express your love to your children by kissing? Do you give your little baby brothers kisses when they are born, because they are so cute? That is not sin. No, not a sin. That is from Heaven. (144-94)

3) Life Path of Continuing Path of Love

The reason why man was born is to travel the world of love. He is born to travel the universe of love. Do you understand? Is it a depressing thing or a happy thing? You think about it. When I was receiving the blood lineage from my mother and father, I received it in the midst of my mother and father's love. So, we loved from the time of birth. While you were in your mother's womb, did your mother and father love, or not? They did love. For ten months time, they touched here and there. After your birth, they still loved, and when you entered elementary school, yes, they loved. How many years until university? Twenty years, twenty-two years? Six years plus three and three make twelve years, university makes sixteen years, plus two years in kindergarten, it is 18 years. In all that time, you grew up within the realm of parent's love.

Even when a father and mother love their children the most, they feel pain when they think about how they have not given them as much love as others. You don't know much about this do you? When you give birth to your children you will realize how much your parents did for you. If, in spite of how much they loved you, they worked for the church: think about how much their heart hurt. Did they sleep easily and have a comfortable time? They might have had an unstable and uncomfortable feeling. So, you should think that your parents are great people. They were uncomfortable because they loved you.

Do you mature between the age of sixteen to twenty? Is that why people marry at the age of about eighteen or twenty? After you marry, you will love your children, and when they marry, then you can love your grandchildren. Grandfather and grandmother, they love their grandchildren more than their sons and daughters. You received a lot of love from them, didn't you? You receive more love from your grandmother than your own parents, don't you? What is grandmother's hope? To be able to sooth her grandchildren. Throughout your life, you experience, childhood, youth, adulthood, marriage and then children. As you become a grandparent, you experience them again. Everything you have experienced in your life seems to reappear around you. Great-grandparents experience all these things as they see their children and grandchildren,in all directions, North, South, East and West. All descendants are intertwined with love. Then the more descendants you have the more blessing you have. What starts from love, flows out via love. Understand? Life itself is to continue the line of love. You can not deny that you are born to love.

You women, do you fear giving birth? When you ask a woman who has given birth to children, they will say that it was like dying; but after the birth you forget everything, all at once. Also, a person who is seasick, once they have reached land they feel better almost straight away. It is the same. You will have that experience. It will be hard to carry children for 10 months, but after the birth, all discomfort disappears suddenly.

I never forgot what my mother told me. It was when I was young and my sister was about to get married. There were uncles and many in-laws gathered together for the ceremony. She said that the best time she had enjoyed wass the time of rearing children after birth, even though it was with suffering. Why is it like that? When a baby is hungry, the mother's breasts swell, understand? All women are like this. As it gets bigger, you feel sick all over. Breasts are the most sensitive part. But it is hard to explain with words the joy of feeding the baby. Only the mother knows what it is like; no one else knows. When the enlarged breasts shrink, what a good feeling you have. Also when you see the baby's hands touching the breasts, mother's love springs up. So, all the emotional feelings of joy, anger, love and happiness that a mother experiences cannot be felt unless you become one yourself. That's why people say that after their eight children have left and gotten married, parents are engulfed with a terrible feeling of loneliness. It is true that they can visit each of them, if they wish to do so; but it is not easy to go many times a day because of the distance, so they always think about them. With the love they used to give, when they cannot go and visit, they pray and pray for the blessing. That is a precious mind. When this occurs, they are getting old. That's why, life starts from love and it finishes with love. This is the kind of principled and adequate way of life. That is to continue on from the physical world to the spirit world. (187-96)

4) The Way of Perfecting Women's Personality

Woman is only one half of a whole. She perfects her personality by loving a man and being able to embrace and digest all difficulties that come up. Do you understand? (Yes) Because of this, sometimes it is okay for the husbands to pound bad and evil women. They should have bruises on their bottoms and face. You women, you should not open your mouth, but stay silent. Women have no weapon except for their mouths. Your mouth is your only weapon. Next is your facial expression. Once again, your mouth is a weapon. Do you understand? That is why women perish because of what they say. You will see that even in movies, when a woman endures without speaking a word, she is able to digest all difficulties. But if she says, "Gosh, I am going out", then she packs up and goes; later of course, she cannot return. Children will think that "My father's persecution of my mother is reasonable." You should not just pack up and leave, things must be worked out. Even though you may be hit by your husband, don't pack up and leave. Instead, lie in bed and pretend to be sick. It is better to have revenge. Don't eat food for a week, but pretend that you are sick. When he comes back home, say,"Oh, you are back now?" Do it in such a natural way. Then when your husband sees that you are not eating, he will watch you for a week and then will raise the white flag of surrender; then harmony will come. What wonderful revenge. (laugh) You can get revenge in a way that is for his sake.

If you say, "Husband is bad, he is worse than me," then you are a woman of no value. Even though he is an evil husband, with little ability, have the attitude that this gentleman has come to find me, at this historical time. He has come out, holding a flag through the many struggles that men go through to find a woman like me. You should think like this. You then meet to build the kingdom of peace and the kingdom of love together, holding the flag of peace. This is the way of husband and wife. Love should remain alive. Forgetting the pledge you have made, "Oh, you damn man!" this kind of behaviour should not occur. Woman is half a circle, half a circle. Do you understand? Half a globe is what you are. The way women should go is, from the left side to the right, to complete the circle, yet not stepping over the man.

How does a woman go upward? By making the man come down, and getting a piggyback from her husband. So, when the husband goes up, she can go together with him. A wife who works for her husband is naturally lifted by the people of the village. She can even be risen up on the back of her grandfather. In that kind of a good family, because she has a big loving mind, before the three generations pass, she can give birth to a good heir, who can inherit the eldersonship of the clan. What principle is this? The principle of three generations is working to keep things revolving. Things which revolve can have dominion over the whole. As you go through three revolutions, a new world of hope is found. By doing this, you grow through spiral form and become bigger. (187-85)

Do you all have a house of love? xxx! Do you have a house of love? (I am seeking) Pardon? Woman has her house of love, man has his house of love. But the house that the woman has is not for her, the house of love is for a man. The house of love that a man has, is not for the man, it is the house of love for a woman. Do you understand? Do you know this or not? If you do not know this, it will be a disaster. Traffic accidents will happen.

Where is the house of love for woman? The woman does not have it. Do you understand? The houses of love are exchanged. Then why are they exchanged? By going through the process of exchange, this universe is connected. To connect this universe, it should go through exchange. It should be bound together. It is only possible by love. It is not possible by any other way. It is not possible by your way. Who do these eyes belong to? xxx? (They're mine) You would say that your body is also yours, but love is not yours. It is your partner's. It is exchanged. Because the possession of love is exchanged, the couples' ideal situation develops. If you enlarge the point of exchanging love, it becomes an ideal spherical form. When you read the Old Testament, are there the Holy of Holies and the Holy Place? What do they mean. The Holy Place symbolizes man, while the Holy of Holies symbolizes the house of love. Do you understand this meaning? This is the first time you have heard it isn't it? Everybody has a Holy Place and a Holy of Holies. The Holy Place is the place you can attend God. Then, what is the Holy of Holies? It is the place you can relate with God, because only God has the special dominion over love. Holy of Holies is the place you can connect with God directly. Then where is it in the man? It is in woman's sexual organ. No one can touch this place. There are not two men who can see this Holy of Holies. There is only one isn't there? The one who keeps the Holy of Holies must be the one to open it, but if it is stained, the one who touched it will die. In ancient times, if a different person touched it, he was put to death. That meant that the place was contaminated. Do you understand? That is why for women (Eve), Adam is the person who has the key. It is only that Eve was keeping the key for Adam. You must know this. Do you understand?

For you to make unity and love with God, you must love while attending God, do you understand? It is not merely the meeting of man and woman. When man and woman come together, representing the heavenly law, you should say "To accomplish the ideal of creation, we would like to attend God's love. Please come here, and let us have sons and daughters you hope to have through us." Do you understand? (132-246)

5) Husband's Responsibility and Wife's Responsibility

When you become a husband, you are to love your wife, and not show your shortcomings. As a responsible husband, you should become your wife's favorite person and someone that makes your wife proud to say, "My husband is a great person." You should be this kind of person. I wonder if Mother thinks of me in this way? The same thing is applicable to the father. It is not easy to be a father to a person from a different family. In fact, you should think like this, "My son is also from a different family. I am just rearing him; he will go and work for the world." It is a father-son relationship, but in reality, it is as if he is from a different family. Therefore, it is hard to play the role of a father. The roles of the husband and the wife are not easy.

You should want to have a large family to take care of. If you look at a first daughter-in-law of a rich family, you will see that she has adapted well into her situation. No matter what difficulties she may encounter, she can handle any situation well. You need to have a lot of experience, looking after many people. When you marry, which would you choose? A husband with whom you have to stay with parents-in-law, or one with whom you do not? (With parents-in-law) Even though you stay with them, there will not be so much difficulty because of Teacher's education. Even though the daughter-in-law may be caned by her father-in-law, the daughter will inherit everything he has when he dies. Do you understand? Even though she gets hit from her feared mother-in-law, she should overcome it without any complaint; then the mother-in-law will praise her with pleased words. Afterwards, you will receive precious things. such as jewelry from her. Do you understand? This is the way to be.

A husband who has a bad nature may hit his wife. Even though you may get hit and many tears fall to your chest, you can suddenly change your emotion and smile.... If you are this kind of a woman, then you are a happy woman. How wonderful she is! What a beautiful moment of transition from tragedy to happiness. That is the way to be. I think that a woman who has never been hit once by her husband is unhappy. Therefore, I think Mother is unhappy. (laughter) If I were not the founder of the Unification Church, I would already have given her a blow. Because I have the name as the founder of the Unification Church and True Parents, I would never hit her. Otherwise, I would train myself to do this. Why should this be? For example if fire breaks out all around you, yet your wife says, "Oh, I love you dear," and you respond by saying, "Yes, darling," then it will be a disaster. Both of you may die. Instead, in this situation you should be able to stare fiercely at your wife and kick her out of the door without saying a word. You need this kind of training. Understand? You need this kind of training.

OO also, when you meet your husband you've got to be hit by him. If he doesn't hit you, it is okay to ask him to hit you and make you upset. You can say this to him, "I have seen one of my relatives who gets hit almost everyday, yet she lives a happy life. It is so curious and mysterious. Please hit me, I want to experience that once." You need this kind of attitude. Because the husband feels so sorry after he hits his wife, only women who have been hit know the taste of a special kind of love. Husband, shedding tears of sorrow, crying out, "I am so sorry!...." How good it is to see that. It is wonderful. The husband who cries tears is more a true husband than those that pay lip service only. Do you think so? The husband that says with tears, "Sorry, I will never do such a thing again," is a true husband. By doing so, you advnace and go to higher places. As long is there is hope for tomorrow, you don't care even though you are hit. To go the way of hope quickly, you should not worry, but encourage each other, even by giving each other a kick and a push to get there. How does this sound?

When you women are going to marry, do you say, "I am going to receive love"? (To give love) No, women out in the world say, "to receive love". So, you marry to give love; but how do you give when your husband does not want it? How? If you still want to give love, he may give you a blow, right? Then, what would you do? You should keep loving him, even crying. You must try to love him, even crying and risking your life for him. If you try to love your husband even to the point of death, he will submit himself to you. That is the way to be. Do not criticize all the cases you hear; each situation is different depending on how it is explained and how you interpret it. OO, have you been hit? from OO? (No, not hit) Then I've got to hit you. (I will hit her) Which way...? (laughter) Your couple is revolutionary. Anyway, Unification Church woman are very fortunate. Maybe too fortunate.

When the husband comes back from work, she is having a nap; what shall we do about this? In the outside world, if the husband is well known, to attend him the wife hardly has any sleep. Doing her best, making her clothes look more beautiful, putting on cosmetics, waiting for her husband the whole night....She is still not sure that she can keep the marriage going. They go through so much suffering. Do you understand? There are so many prostitutes with precious jewelry and pendants, singing and dancing, waiting to give whatever they can for your husband. Even though you have a great husband, you arrogantly say, "I want to be the only one to receive his love." Do you think he can live with you for your whole life? Look at your face, and think about where a man who can live with you for a lifetime is. How can he be with someone who has such round eyes, flat face, flat nose and lips, for a lifetime....Till I get old....? How difficult will it be for him? So, you must give him your sympathy. Therefore, maybe once a month, it is okay for him to relieve stress on you, because you are suffering. You need to have room in your heart to think this way. Do you understand, you women?

6) The Way of Second Generation Blessed Couples

There is a certain way in which both of you are to go within your family. The point is not which one of you did well, or who did not do well, but the point is who loves God more. We are to follow this. Second, you are not to be habitually affected by your environment, but to develop and progress centred on love. A wife should love her husband and the husband should love his wife. By loving each other, a couple is for God and for the way of God's Will. To do his Will, you need to have a tribe, people, nation, and world. There are still things left to do: the liberation of the spirit world and the liberation of the physical world and of God's nation. Because of the fall, this has still been undone. You have to clear it. Man was thrown into the rubbish bin. Who will clear this rubbish bin? Not God, nor True Parents can do it. Because it is your own family, tribe, people, nation and world environment, which is to be connected to True Parents' blood lineage, you should clean your own environment.

In the course of the providence for restoration, who are the responsible people? You are the ones who have to stand as the representatives. You can do it on the family level and enter the realm of the blessing on the family level in God's kingdom. You can do it on the tribal level and enter the realm of the blessing in the tribal level in God's kingdom. You can do it on the level of a people and enter the realm of the blessing on the level of a people in God's kingdom. You can do it on the national level and enter the realm of the blessing on the national level in God's kingdom. You can do it on the worldwide level and enter the realm of the blessing on the worldwide level in God's kingdom.

Your position in the kingdom of heaven will be decided by centring on the content of love. In that case, you should think that for this cause you should love your husband's parents more than your husband, love your husband's brothers and sisters more than your husband, love your nation more than you love your family, love the world more than you love your nation, love heaven more than you love the world, and love God more than you love Heaven. There is no path connected without love, love is the answer.

God's love should drip into your mind and on your life. When God's love drips onto you, you have hope; but if God's love does not drip at all, you may perish. Your name will then be blotted out of the citizenship list of the nation of love. You will be eliminated because you have been disobedient to the traditional world of love. (144-131)

Once you marry, you can not follow your own will. Which direction should you go? You must go to meet the love of God. Why was man born as man, and woman born as woman? It is because of love. Why love? Why do husband and wife come together? Man and woman are divided natures of God's dual characteristics. When they come together, they will receive God's love. So, our life is to find and to receive God's love. To meet God's love, man and woman should come together in oneness. Without it you cannot meet the love of God. Why do we need to meet God's love? By meeting his love, we can stand on the same position with God. We can stand beside God. Doesn't this sound the same to you? Centred on what, do man and woman come together? It is not centred on your faces, but love. You are here for the sake of the love between husband and wife.

Why did God ask Adam and Eve to love like this? It was because God can be one with them centred on that love. If there is no horizontal line, you cannot draw a vertical line. The purpose of the love between husband and wife is to connect to the love of God.

Why do we desire God's love? Because when we receive God's love, we can go on to the same position as God. Even though you have only met for the first time, you can stand proudly together as husband and wife, centred on love. Is that right? When you are in love, two are one. You can not run away. Both have collective responsibility. When husband and wife become completely one centred on God, they go forward to the same position as God. Not only do you reach the same position as God, but all the possessions he has comes into your ownership realm. Love is amazing. It is of great value since it is able to reach the same level as God and to have ownership of everything.

What does this mean? If God loved Adam and Eve, He would give himself to them. Not only Himself, but also his love. Thereby, all the universe belonging to God, is automatically bestowed to us. We need the right of succession.

Man has the desire to be the best; with what can man accomplish it? It is only by love. Is it possible with money? By power? It is only possible by love. Only the love God set up makes it possible. We want to be the best because we have the original nature to be united with God in oneness centred on his love.

What is the best thing in the world? God is the best. If we reach that level, then what can we do there? You should make the whole universe yours, centred on God's love. Do you all have this desire? The desire and ambition cannot be accomplished with money, or with knowledge, or with power. It can be accomplished only by love. This is the essence of the Unification Church Principle and the origin of the philosophy of human life. People did not know this up until now. This content is simple.(144-133)

7) The Attitude Toward Life to Establish the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth

Will you marry? Will you marry or not? What about you men? Will you marry? (Yes) Do you think you need children? (Yes) Why? You need to know God's love, parents love, and know how to attend parents. You also need to know husband's love and know how to attend your husband, know children's love and know how to attend children. Not only to give orders to your children, but you should also how to attend your children. That means you have to know how to live for the sake of others. By doing so, you will understand God's love. This is educational material. Without having children, it is imperfection. That means you don't understand God's love, that is, how much God has loved man, his children. Without becoming a husband, you cannot know wife's love. Without becoming a wife, you cannot know husband's love. If you do not become parents, you do not know parental love. God created all of these for educational purposes. Not having children means that you can not be true parents. Is this right or not?

So, to be the best qualifier, according to the original principle, you need parents, wife and what next? You should have children for you to be accepted by the universe, being labeled, "the most worthy to feel God's love substantially." With this you can get into the Kingdom of Heaven. Without this seal of approval, it is not possible.

Please expand the love experience in your family. Do not shrink it, but expand it. For that cause, sacrifice your family for the sake of your tribe, and also for your nation. It is good to sacrifice yourself for the bigger cause. Once you have set up a good condition of greater love by sacrificing, you can be connected to everything, with the ideal realm of love. Even though you did not complete everything, you can be a qualified person to enter the heavenly nation in the spirit world. Even though you loved within a certain boundary or within a village, you can participate in the same privileges as people who loved the nation, world, and Heaven and Earth. This is because the person would certainly be able to achieve the greater love with sacrifice if there was a situation in which he was required to show his ability to do so. You should know this clearly.

You should not be arrogant or proud of being the children of blessed families. You have got to stand on a higher level than your parents. When you see men of your husband's age, you should respect them more than your husband, and think they will be loyal people to accomplish the will for your nation. Expanding more, remember that you should love all people of age similar to your grandparents' more than your own grandparents. Love the people of age similar to your parents' more than your own parents. Love the people of age similar to your husband's or wife's more than your own spouse. Love the people of age similar to your children's more than your own children.

Even if he didn't do much in the family, a man can return to the family from the level of society to be a greater person. In other words, even if the man was not capable of much in the family level, going out and working in the society made him a greater person. That is what parents want, isn't it? You must think like this. How come things become like this? Our Unification Church ideology states that the individual sacrifices for the family and lives for the sake of others all the while living with love. Then, since it states that the family lives for the tribe and so on to larger causes, you should live for the sake of others whilst keeping in mind that you are representing Cain's world. Everyone should have this kind of mind. Parents, grandparents, husbands, wives and children alike. We can then enter the place where the loyal people of the heavenly world abide without hesitation! Do you understand? Clearly? What is the Kingdom on Earth like? The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth is the place in which we do live in this manner. (133-138)
