REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON
SPEAKS ON
LEADERS' MEETING
June 12, 1991
East Garden, Irvington. New York
Translator - Col. Sang Kil Han
Sit down, please. Have you lived well until now since Father saw you
last? That is the Korean style of greeting: Have you been well?
Father asked the campus ministers to come. Have they all come?
Please raise your hands, campus ministers. Out of 32, 28 are present.
That is good attendance. Campus ministers, please stand up.
What is your average age? 30? 35? 40? Those who are over 30 years of
age, please raise your hands.
Have you ever stopped to think really seriously about how important
the campus minister's goal is? Those who are state leaders, raise your
hands. Those who are both state leaders and campus ministers, playing
those two roles, please raise your hands. Eleven.
What do you think? Is it an easy ore difficult role to play-that of
a campus minister of the Unification Church? Difficult, but possible?
That means you can do it. For those who do not work very hard, it is
difficult. For those who work very hard, it is easy. It is that
simple.
It is the same for any undertaking, not just the important
undertakings we do. Anything even a very casual thing-has to be done
with a life or death determination or else we cannot succeed at it.
Since our responsibility here in America is so important, we might as
well become that serious about it.
For those who are dedicated, this is simply exciting, challenging.
Those of you who were with Father when Father first came here to
America and traveled around for the first time and who are now campus
ministers, raise your hands.
When Father talked to us at that time and told us that we had to
save America, nobody had any real idea of what Father meant. People
thought, "Why save America? America is doing well-America is
strong and well. What do you mean by 'saving?"' But today, looking
back, what Father said actually came to pass.
If we had really done the activity that Father had told us to do at
that time, imagine where we would be today. We did what we did-a small
amount. Still we worked very hard, in every state. We went around
everywhere and made a heavenly problem. This served as a foundation
towards the present time.
If we had done it per state, just concentrated in one state all
together, instead of working in all 50 states, how effective would we
have been! Instead, we spread around and didn't concentrate our power,
so today, we have lost effectiveness. Nevertheless, that served as the
foundation to influence the coming to power of the Reagan and Bush
administrations.
How should we achieve a reciprocal relationship with them? We must
realize that we need a stronger, bigger foundation to directly
influence them. We have been timely. We have been going along and
ascending just as their political power has. Father made that pattern
of activity back then. That system, that organization-is it still
active or is it just forgotten now?
Once we spread out, we should keep to that. Once we retreat, to go
back to that level again will be much more difficult. Once we gain
ground, we had better hold onto it. Retreating is really impossible.
We should not do it. Do you follow what Father is pointing out? Father
knew at the time and Father is still aware of what kind of result would
have come. Why then haven't we retreated on our extensive foundation?
Everyone is in a position to be pursued for not doing his
responsibility properly. Even though our number was small to begin
with, Father told us we should have expanded. Not many people do the
work. Specific people, actually, are the ones who do the work. Numbers
are not the problem. How many American cities have a population of more
than 20,000? A thousand cities or towns? More than a thousand? Twelve
hundred people will cover all of America. If, at the crux of it, you
have a good organization, you can exert a good influence over all of
America.
Father sees very clearly at present that with your capability today,
if you have two thousand people under you who can go around and make
the kind of excitement Father made all over America, influencing
America is a very realistic, practical matter. If you sit behind a
desk, that is not really being a leader. Father doesn't really believe
in you owning a desk. Throw away the desk. You should be on the road,
talking, talking, and talking until your mouth is swollen, planting,
planting, and planting, like a farmer. When you do that, then the
organization is formed. Then you can take up a chair and a desk.
Father told you to have revival meetings. Why haven't you? Did
Father say just to do it one time and forget it the rest of the time?
Father meant for it to be ongoing. Father told you to give lectures
eight hours a day, not less than that. We didn't come here to play. Did
Father say just to do it once? No, Father told us to do it repeatedly.
We have to eat three meals a day. In the same way, we have to talk
continuously in spiritual work. If you stop acting, that means you are
stalemated and death will result. If you continue on actively, then
there is everlasting life and prosperity. Growing, continuously
growing, is the way to everlasting life. Once you stop growing, you
die.
Before the age of forty, Father went to prison numerous times. If
you sit still, do you go to prison? Why did the disciples in the early
Christian church get stoned and persecuted-people like St. Stephen and
the other martyrs? It happened because they were active and they never
stopped.
The tradition that we are trying to make and follow is not the true
Unification tradition if you just sit behind a desk and give directions
to others. Father never taught you to do that. Do you follow?
Almost 3,000 Russian leadership types came here and have been
educated. In five different locations in the Soviet Union, Father
re-educated them in refresher courses during the summertime. After
that, they can be thrust into leadership here in America. What if you
campus ministers will be outdone by Russians? What if the Russians come
here and teach the Divine Principle to American youth? Their English is
very fluent. Father already knows that. How shameful that would be for
you.
We need a reformation, a revolution in ourselves. Otherwise, there
is no way, no hope. Father can call off all of us if we don't proceed.
How to be born again. The power of knowledge and manpower, working
power-that is what should move America, not economic power. You should
be the prototype, the model. If you are in charge of a state, you are
the model of everything. Make a big noise. Make heavenly trouble!
If you just sit and don't move so fast, it is no use. Father is
asking Dr. Seuk: Chase them out! Make them move! Of course, by
American standards, you are doing much better than others, but there is
no such thing as better. If we keep going at the pace we are going,
Father estimates it will take us a thousand years. How long do you
estimate it? How long will it take? How many years? Time and tide wait
for no man. Providential time is like that, too. It will not wait for
anyone.
The world is getting to be one and what is the hope of the American
churches? The American churches are in a miserable situation. The
youthful energy is not there. Everyone is ready to go to the cemetery.
No one has any hope in the existing churches. The only hopeful power in
America is the Unification Church-your activity. That is the only
hopeful way. We need a complete turn-around. We have the type of
powerful armament that can bring this about. Our theory, our contents,
are a world concept for highly intellectual people. Once they listen to
the Divine Principle, it will be no problem at all. This is not a
concept. This is reality.
The Soviet students' level of understanding is very high. Why? It is
because of the world concept of communist ideology. American youth
don't have a concept of an ideal world. Once those kind of highlevel
people are trained for two or three days, they can completely turn
around. This is the reality. Why can't you do that? Every day there are
thousands of students around-if we can just speak to them one time on
the school grounds, they will be interested. Open your mouths! We do
not need the kind of leader who cannot speak out. You should have all
kinds of excitement inside and a strong spirit.
You can meet students every day at your university. There are
thousands of them all in one place. You should be able to present them
with two or three titles or topics. "Which title do you want to
hear? I will talk on all three. I can teach, no problem." We have
those kinds of contents. You know that. You have that kind of powerful
speech available to you. Why do you keep your mouth shut? Why?
In the sixteen years since Father came to America, if he had kept
his mouth shut, what kind of result would have come to this country? I
pointed out clearly that America had to repent, otherwise this country
would perish. They didn't want to hear that. "What kind of man are
you to come here making noise? We don't like that. You are Korean-one
Korean man came and stirred up the country. We don't want to hear
it." That is the kind of attitude they took.
Now look at the American family system, the state of the churches,
the state of your hometown. Look at their situation, how miserable they
are. This is the reality. The kind of people who are taking action are
the real hometown-love people. Otherwise, there is no hope. It is your
country, your brothers. Who can prevent this kind of situation? Only
the activity of the Unification Church members' activity, working
everywhere. Do you understand? (Yes, Father.)
I closed my eyes, I closed my ears to everything but the mission for
almost eighteen years. Unless you take that kind of attitude, you
cannot save America. Father's mission was always to develop the
movement in America, never retreating. Now the Soviets are making
preparations to make great results. Tens, thousands, will be coming in
the immediate future.
I have influence in the media world-the Novosti Information Agency-
and through them, I can move all the media world there. Do you
understand? Izvestia is now publishing a new translation of the Divine Principle
book. It will spread all over the Soviet nation, all at once.
From now on, freedom will be coming there. The Roman Catholic Church,
the Protestant Church and the Russian Orthodox Church are starting over
again. The people understand that their past background is over, that
their time has passed. They clearly understand that. They don't have
hope. Out of all the churches the most high-level doctrine is that of
the Unification Church. They understood that clearly. From the
historical perspective, that is true. There are world-connecting
contents in the Divine Principle. It is the number one, high-level
vision.
The Soviet media people said to me, "Please, Reverend Moon,
come talk to us." Taking that kind of position, they came to me.
They have more power than The New York Times. The New York Times has a
circulation of 2-3 million. Pravda is a public newspaper. All their
subsidiaries print the same news at the same time, like propaganda.
They have many agencies. Once something is written there, it will
immediately cover all the Soviet Union; the universities, high schools,
and primary schools, too. Every family will be connected, every remote
village. That kind of phenomena is now becoming a reality. It is not
like the free world, the American system, where there are hundreds of
thousands of different papers all going in different directions. How
can they unite? That is a complicated, difficult situation. How can the
correct viewpoint come across? But you are the true owners. Not just
anyone can take on that mission. Only certain kinds of people can
accept it. What hopeful guys you are. Don't you think so?
Father came to America. In 1975, Father founded the seminary - UTS.
At that time, Father sent out missionaries to 137 nations. The American
leaders were sent to the seminary for academic studies. Father took
that kind of action to make a powerful foundation. After that, almost
a thousand people went through the seminary. We needed powerful
leadership at the time of Madison Square Garden and Washington
Monument, but I sent the leadership to the seminary. How miserable I
was in having to do that, you do not know. How much I agonized over
that, you don't know. It was not so easy. It was difficult, difficult,
difficult. But, centering on Father, by taking action, a victorious
foundation was made. No one can deny that result.
You know well Reverend Moon's situation. America was all in
darkness. I couldn't find even one candle there. It was a dark
situation. How can we break out of this dark situation? Reverend Moon
had the Madison Square Garden and the Washington Monument rallies.
Those kinds of rallies broke up the darkness.
This is the reality of the past and our activities then. Without
that, our foundation now could not be here. It is the result of working
sixteen years and more, day and night without rest, working hard, hard,
hard and making that result, accumulating that mountain.
You have to have motivation, motivation, motivation. The university
campus minister must embrace and revive American youth. How shall we do
it? That is your mission. Shed tears for young people. American has
many powers-economic, political, intellectual, military. But those
powerful foundations cannot save America now. Now American youth are
going under. You know that. How can you deny it?
Father knows the healing system for this problem. No matter how
strong and powerful America is, nothing will help except Father's
healing way. We need strong leadership. Our strong armament is
the Divine Principle. That's true, isn't it? The Soviet people and the
Soviet leaders completely turn around in a matter of days when they
hear the Divine Principle. They go 180 degrees in the opposite
direction. This is the reality. The CIA has visited us with the
purpose of investigating us, but after they received that training
theory, they, too, completely turned around. You should know what kind
of powerful armament we have.
Soviet youth are standing in front of American youth. Soviet leaders
are standing in front of American leaders. Time is running out.
American people complain in that kind of secondary position, but this
is the normal way, the way of those who have gratitude. This is the
reality and the conclusion. Look around.
The Soviets are now igniting the fire. How about the American
situation? You don't have that power, you don't have that motivating
power. Until now, Father invested much money and manpower-all his
power-in one country, America. Neither God nor Reverend Moon nor you
wanted the kind of miserable, hopeless situation that is happening
now.
The only hope is for members to resolve, "From now on, I am
taking the way of persecution, the way of sacrifice." Otherwise,
there is no hope, no way. This is Father's direction. Do you
understand? There is no other way.
You have to know that. America's survival depends on it. How can we
bring result, how can we put America's Christian background and culture
to work? That is one problem. The other is how can we resolve the
family situation in America?
Those are our two major concerns: to resurrect the Christian spirit
and also to resurrect the family, each individual family in America.
Who can have that kind of two-way influence? If we don't do it, no one
can. Then there is no hope for this country. Other churches cannot do
it, only the Unification Church. Do you understand? We have a way.
Then bringing result and survival is no problem. We can automatically
make that kind of foundation. No matter how difficult it is, we can
connect any church in the Christian world. We have to break through
that situation. We must take the attitude of only saving this America.
Otherwise, there is no way.
This is like a cape, like Cape God. We went as far as we could in
one direction and now we are turning. Once we turn around, we come
back. This is this year. The world is completely corrupted. The
Unification Church is in a difficult situation now, but Reverend Moon
is our living center. From the center, survival will spread and then
others will follow that trend. This is the pinnacle, the most difficult
time: June, the number six. Wait and see.
After July and August, it will get better. The economy will get
better. Without our taking action, there will be no hope in this
country.
How can we make a reformation? A revolution? A new revolution and
resurrection for America and the Christian cultural world? What kind of
contents can make that kind of history? No other denomination has it,
only the Unification Church. Do you understand? Influence them; move
around. Only with that kind of phenomena is America's future hopeful.
Otherwise, there is no way. You know that. lt is clear. In this
situation, will you continue on your way? Then you cannot bring hope to
the United States' situation.
How many degrees do you have to go in a different way? One
hundred-eighty degrees, not 90 degrees. It is not so easy changing your
well-educated American cultural background and tradition completely,
completely tearing it down, and making a new one, 180 degrees
different. You have to think seriously about this. You have to think
about how to go back to God's way.
What did you do until now? Only by changing your actions can you
save America in the future. Do you understand? We have to take a new
viewpoint, God's perspective.
What if Father were not here? What is this country going to be? What
are you going to do about this country? It is hopeless.
Father is not so deeply interested in The Washington Times . Father
can withdraw at any time. All he has to do is to say,
"Closed." Then Father does not have to spend tens of millions
of dollars every month. Father can divert that money into Russia or
anywhere else. Father is investing millions of dollars per month into
the media. Do you know what millions of dollars can do in a country
like Russia?
In the last nine years, the Church poured eight hundred million
dollars in cold cash into The Washington Times. 800 million. You have
no idea how much money that is. If you deposited that money into a
bank, the interest alone, at 10% a year, would be eight million dollars
per month. At 12%, it would be even more. That is one hundred million
dollars a year. This is just the money that the Church has invested in
the American media. With ail the other money put together, Father has
invested two billion dollars in the providence in America. This is a
fact. How can we be the enemy of America spending that kind of money on
this country, shedding tears for this country? Of course, two billion
includes money spent all around the world, including Europe, but in
America, our
Church spent more money than anywhere else. If we had kept on
buying buildings, what kind of investment property would we possess
today? If we invested all that money in real estate, today our
property, would be worth trillions of dollars. Father knew how
precious, how painfully-gotten this money was, but Father knew that he
had to safeguard the free world, the whole world against the invasion
of communism, so Father fought against communism, fought against
iniquity. Now we are getting results. We had to spend that money that
way. It is not because Father did not know the investment value of that
money.
It is hard to believe but true that in 1975, the liberal movement
was rampant. In a mere five years, how in the world has that miserable
America, who retreated from Vietnam, losing the war against a nobody
like North Vietnam, brought the Republicans back again and maintained
their dignity and brought the country around to the extreme right, as
represented by Reagan? It was a puzzle. It is a fact, so no one
questions it now, but who played the key role? Father did. If Father
didn't actually do something to turn the tide around, it would not have
been done. Only those who know, know, but we do. Reagan did not know
how he became the president. He succumbed to the pressure and sent
Father to prison.
If Father was an ordinary man with an ordinary sense of justice, he
would have sworn that he would retaliate. Did Father do that? How could
Father go on strongly supporting America in this impossible situation?
It is because Father knew how God worked hard in America for 200 years.
Father knew how America was chosen for 2,000 years. So, Father, walking
in God's steps, following God's tradition, the rightway of the filial
son, spent millions of dollars just for that project alone, to turn the
tide and save America. You don't know. What has America got against
Father doing that? Even now, Father is thinking a lot of things that
Americans should be thinking about, but they are not. Father knows
somebody has to think about it, so that is what Father is doing now.
Father feels he has fulfilled his role, more than enough. The fact
that he turned this country away from dangerous liberalism into the
right direction means now they are pretty stable. They might not need
Father as much as they needed him ten years ago. So Father's role is
done, Father feels. Literally.
Look at Russia, how Father rendered help to Russia, who had no sense
of direction. They did not know which way to go. Father brought them
over and educated them. They began to see and they are teaching
themselves. So from now on, we cannot expect leadership from either
Bush or Gorbachev. They do not know where they are going. They do not
know what is in store next year or the year after, let alone ten years
from now. Evil planned to move in such a direction as the Gulf War,
having Israel and the Arab nations turn against each other as enemies.
Father saw the danger of it. One wrong move, and the Jewish nation,
Christians and America, would have developed a rift and would have been
separated, not united. Religion would have come into it and chaos would
have resulted. The war would have lingered on tens of years. Millions
of lives would have been sacrificed. If evil had had its way, its ideal
scenario would have been to bring all the religions into it and start a
religious war, a racial war, and America would have really been in a
very difficult mess. Father controlled this, in a good sense.
How many Jewish people are there in the Soviet Union? All the black
countries are Moslem and there are Moslems in the Soviet Union, too. If
they went to war, it would have been very difficult. Thanks to Father's
keen and serious awareness, Father worked through that direction and
helped the first, second, and third Israels to unite. Now they will
have a victory parade, yet they do not know where the real, literal
victory came from, let alone saying, "Thank you, Reverend Moon. We
fought the war, but you guided us in the right direction." As in
the Vietnam War, there were anti-war demonstrations-in one stroke, they
were all blown away. Father supported the war and saved America from
repeating the mistakes they had made in the Vietnam War and we held
support demonstrations.
You see what is behind this activity. America hasn't lost anything
by having Father around. What did Father do that was so bad for
America? Just name one thing. They are ignorant, they do not know. That
is the problem. Ignorance is the greatest enemy.
In a spiritual sense, it is a formidable, very fearful thing that
white people tried to opiumize the yellow race in China. Now they are
reaping the result of that. What they have sown, now they are
harvesting. Now white young people are the prey of drugs. Father is
trying desperately to save that, too. Historians cannot come up with a
conclusion. They will say, "Where is the proof?" But Father
knows where this result comes from. That is the cause.
America could be enslaved in the future if there are not serious and
responsible people in this country who love it enough to give their
lives for it. An Oriental country could come in and simply take over.
If you don't take heed and take it seriously, that means that
automatically, it will happen. Koreans don't know what is going to
happen to Korea. Americans don't know what America is going to be.
Father knows where each country can go. Did you know that America would
be like this? Father told you years ago.
Fifty-five years ago, when America was at the highest pinnacle of
success, could they ever have imagined America the way it is today? Now
they are so miserable, they are more miserable than they think, seen
from the outside, by other people. How could this happen? And how could
it not be prevented? It is an act of God, you see. It is not because
of the American people's deeds-it was the trend of the world, the trend
of history and Father told the ways to prevent it. If we don't prevent
it, it is going to happen.
Look at America and the Indians. Millions of them were simply
killed. Some of them say they got plague, but no, they simply were
killed and the result of that is still to come. The result is for white
people to be massacred themselves now. What is Father trying to do? To
teach this to Americans and to teach them the ways to prevent this.
God, knowing this, is trying to forewarn America, through Reverend
Moon, to wakeup and prevent this. Father knows where God's heart is, so
Father is taking the same course as God Himself.
Those American members here who did not hear Father say,
"Lecture at least eight hours a day," raise your hands. That
means you all heard. Those who did hear, raise your hands now. Did you
or did you not do that? Even simple laborers work eight hours a day
before they can make a living. What are we? If we don't do that and yet
try to live, we are like a thief. That would be an appropriate name for
it, or a parasite. Father scolded the regional directors for not having
enforced this.
If there is no audience, speak, nevertheless, at the top of the
mountain. If you are arrested for it and spend the night in jail, so
what? Where in the Constitution dc they have the right to stop
religious activity? What you are trying to do is very much in pursuit
of religious activity. You are trying to teach God's words and will. We
can fight against the authorities if they try to throw us in jail.
Those who say, "Yes, Father, I listened to you and I lecture at
least eight hours a day," raise your hands. What is this? Are you
determined to make the Unification Church perish or would you like to
help it prosper, along with God? Which side are you on? Are you on
God's side or the other side? Are you to prosper God's will or are you
to stop and imperil God's will? Of course, you can say anything. It is
easy to give the right answer, but can you save yourself and others by
mere words?
We need to give our sweat and blood. Father already told us and
showed us the example of hard work. How would Father feel, looking at
this situation? Would Father feel misery and deep anger-or do you think
Father would be happy? What do you think? How would you feel if you
were in Father's position? Father has done his role. Father is 70 years
of age. All this time, Father never had a peaceful rest. When a person
gets to be 70 years of age, it is human nature to want to go back to
his hometown. Father, too, wants to go back to his hometown. Father has
been talking about going back to his hometown for three years and
Father said that his time here in America is really, truly limited.
Out of those 98 business organizations Father founded here in
America, to those who have not supported themselves or paid for
themselves, including The Washington Times, Father will simply say,
"No," and close the door and never think about it again.
Still, Father has a little hope for each and every one. Imagine
Washington without The Washington Today's Administration has asked
Father to please continue to put out the paper. In order to do that,
in order for us to continue, we've got to sell out everything to raise
the money. Such a task. Not one millionaire in America will assist us
for one month or one year-but Father has done it for ten years,
spending millions of dollars every month, steadfastly for ten years.
That is fact.
And you always wondered, "Oh, Father, if you help them so much,
why do you help us so little?" Father said, "No, you are to
suffer." Father chose us for the suffering field. As Father did,
you must do, too. That is what Father has always told us. Korea said,
"If you have such astronomical amounts of money, why don't you
help Korea? Then Korea would turn around very quickly -- don't you see
that? Are you not Korean?"
Imagine. Father must be crazy, Father says. He is being
misunderstood and blamed by all the Korean people for spending money
meaninglessly in a foreign country and not helping Korea. Father spent
all the resources that he built up all throughout his life, two billion
plus dollars and every bit of it was given to foreign countries,
including America, most of it to
America. Now Father is hoping to bequeath this to everyone sitting
here and have no regret about it, make no claim on it, and just return
all by himself to Korea, still praying hard that America will take over
where Father left off. Father must be crazy, Father feels. Father
worked all this time to make this country live again, to save this
country of America. That is why God took this country seriously.
This is not a "good" talk Father is giving. It is the
truth. Now, should Father continue on pushing this America to nowhere,
or should Father withdraw from America? What is your guess? What is
your suggestion?
This Panda project in China and the millions of dollars Father has
to spend every month in America- Father can't do both now, apparently,
so which should Father continue helping? Should Father continue Panda,
which is very costly, or should Father continue The Washington Times
and all the works Father has been doing here in America-to no end?
This is an affluent country. This is a rich country. No country is
richer than America. Did you know that Chinese parents have killed 60
million newborn daughters? They can have only one baby by law and they
want a son. So what happens when a girl is born? They kill her. And
nobody has to know. Then they try again. If they try again and a boy
comes, then they have their one boy. That is all they are allowed to
have one child per family. In China, that is the law. How sad this is.
Father's money would be enough to save millions of lives if Father took
the money he spends here and spent it over there. Father can feed two
million starving people, no problem, with that kind of money.
How can we establish our dignity-our position? All the members here
are like Americans to Father. You tell Father what hope Father can have
working through you-through encouraging you, through supporting you and
spending money on projects like The Washington Times. What can Father
expect from you? What hope do you have? Americans will say,
"Father, I don't want you even to speak like that. I want you to
be nice, gentle, loving, and just praise us, even though we are not
worthy. We will feel much better." You will say that. Father knows
that. What kind of foolish thinking is that?
This is serious. As a grown-up, Father has to speak to you like
this. It is a serious time for you. It is serious both for Father and
for you too. You have to follow Father's recommended way. That is the
only way to live. There is no other way. No other church, established
or not, has the way. You have to make some kind of decision. We need
to ignite a fire, a fuse. All Father has to say to Mr. Kamiyama is,
''Let's pack up." At one command, all the Japanese will disappear
from this country. That's what you wanted to begin with, isn't it?
Would you be in a position to say, "Thank you, Father," when
all the Japanese go back?
Father can be very decisive when it comes to the point. Make no
mistake about that. Father can decide. What do you think? Should all
the Japanese members go back and let the American members run the
operation? Should the Japanese go back to their hometowns and you
become successful all by yourself? That means, success or no success,
we just disband the Unification Church and go back. Three years later,
Father can come back and start a brand new movement in America. Father
can achieve hundreds of thousands of times better results in a single
year than we have gotten in the ten or twenty years we've been working
in America in the manner we have. It is likely, don't you think?
Nowadays there is no reason to reject Reverend Moon any more. People
are more enlightened. That means our old enemies are changing. How can
this happen? But it is happening, isn't it?
Father cannot say that we are righteous members who carry on the
tradition of heaven and can go straight to heaven. Father can never
approve of that and say that the existing members can now go to heaven
directly with him. No. This is why we need to change; to revolutionize.
We need to become a brand new member. Go back to the time when you
first started. Don't be an enemy to the church or to Father.
So what is your opinion? Should we just pickup and redo it or what?
We do need members, but a tree that doesn't have so many branches or
leaves-where does such a tree go? It dies. That is what is happening to
the Unification Church now. How many branches and how many leaves do we
have on the branches now? We are not even thinking about making them
either. That's really hard to think about, hard to imagine.
Maybe one way is for all of us to disperse to Africa and be
missionaries there. We can really start the African AFC. Do you
understand what Father is talking about now? What is your guess on
Father's position-after what Father did for America, what Father had to
go through here in America? Do you or don't you think that Father is
really getting sick and tired? Father, like God, is getting very weary
about this. What is your guess?
Will Father say, "I will continue to be stimulated, no matter
what. I will make a perfect man out of you" ? Even God, looking
down on us and being fair, after giving us all kinds of chances and we
still don't do it, how must He feel? Father not only has the capability
but also Father has the result, the record of bringing in ten times,
hundreds of times more members than he has now. If Father wants to do
it, he can do it. Or, he can simply change the country, perhaps to
Africa. Do you believe that? Shall he do the same thing in Africa as he
has in America? White people, black people, yellow people-they are all
equal in God's eyes. Black people are not as arrogant as white people
are. They are very pure inside. Do you really feel the humanity in
black people? Most white people don't know it, but they are equal.
Is there anyone who is willing, if it is God's will and his destiny,
to go to an African country and serve that country and live more humbly
than they do, under them rather than above them? Is there any white
person like that? All white people would say, "No, I have to be on
top."
We have to understand in what a lowly way Father has been treated,
mistreated. Father himself feels it. Father has a hot temper, but
Father really suppresses and suppresses his temper. It is hard to
believe that Father underwent such ridiculous treatment and still did
so much for the sake of America, spending billions of dollars. He
didn't just spend money either.
What should Father do? Should Father just completely forget about
this or should Father direct this one focus once more and this time we
will not just try to do it but really do it? (Yes.)
How many times have you said that before? How many times will you
repeat that kind of answer? God doesn't need that kind of answer over
and over again. Just one time. Reverend Moon is commanded by God to
make result just one time and that's it. Do you understand? You have to
be thinking about this.
For 4,000 years, God went the indemnity way, making that victorious
foundation and expanding it all over the world for the Christian
cultural background. From that one time, when they denied the second
Adam, all the foundation of 4,000 years was immediately cast down,
finished. The Christian world must look at that. During the 2,000 years
of the Christian world, there was such serious persecution. Yet
Christianity rose and rose. Who was that foundation for? It was for the
time of the Second Advent. That was the purpose of Christian history.
Christians didn't believe it and spit that idea out. During 40 years,
Christians lost the results of 2,000 years of effort; now look at the
results. No one can deny the phenomenon of the decline of Christianity.
This is the reality. That is not the Christian world God and Jesus
intended.
This is action and result. As it happens, while one place is going
down, another is rising. During the time of the Western world's
dominance, its purpose being the reception of the Second Advent, the
Eastern world was going down lower, lower, and lower. One place goes
down while one place rises. This is the universal way. The same
phenomena is occurring in the relationship between the Christian
churches and the Unification Church. No matter how much they persecute
the center of the Unification Church, that one guy Reverend Moon, they
are going down and the Unification Church is rising. Why? God protects
Reverend Moon. He rose up, going to the family level, the tribal level,
the national level, to America, the center of the free world. We are
reaching the communist world, which connects 36 countries together.
Once America is combined with the Christian church, the communist world
is combined, and many religious denominations are combined, then all
humankind will be combined into one.
After World War II, the world was really under America's
sovereignty. At that time, that victorious, united world could have
been made, a united world sphere. How much greater, how much more
blessed America would have been. As a providential people, it would
have been protected, its downfall prevented. But they lost everything
and America has been declining ever since. God's always raises up the
other side, so God raised up the Unification Church.
Now both the democratic and communist nations should combine into
one, following Reverend Moon. This is like climbing to the very top
peak of a mountain, but Father is standing on that kind of a high peak.
The world cannot deny it. The American people don't know that. Only the
new future world will show it. Now many people follow behind me and
understand me. Why? During 40 years, Reverend Moon has spoken true
contents, pointed out what was going to happen. After that, how can
anyone deny Reverend Moon? This is the modern situation. Do you
understand? No matter how much the American people are against me, it
cannot continue forever. The kind of person who opposes me is
diminishing. That opposite power is going down.
The book Inquisition tells very clearly of Reverend Moon's
activity and how the American Justice Department went against him. They
thought they would finish me, wipe me away, but they didn't know God's
protection for me. You did not see what happened behind the walls of
Danbury. Reverend Moon's power influenced that atmosphere, swallowing,
swallowing, swallowing all the bad until we find ourselves in today's
situation. You think about that.
In April of 1990, I visited Moscow and after that, how much the
world situation has changed-just during that one year. Look at the
American situation and the world and Soviet situations. How much has
changed, how much has turned around, toward us? We are educating
highly-educated and intelligent people from the Soviet Union, the
highest-level students, who all speak English. 3,000 youth came here
and received Divine Principle education, took the training course. Can
you believe it? Along with them came high-level educational and
governmental people, who studied Reverend Moon's Divine Principle. .
Think about what Reverend Moon accomplished in just one year. How
surprising it was. We could not dream of the kind of phenomena that are
taking place now in the modern situation. This is reality. They turn
around completely to the other side. How much of a difficult situation
it was to turn them around the other way, you cannot understand. Who
can make that kind of phenomena and result like Reverend Moon?
Recently, members of the KGB came. After receiving this training,
they were very surprised. They did not know there was such a concept in
the free world as this theory. Especially, they wanted to meet me, but
they met Dr. Bo Hi Pak. The KGB, army leaders and generals all came. I
don't have any weapons to bring about that kind of activity. Do you
think it was easy or difficult to bring about those kinds of results?
How difficult it was for me.
In the Soviet Union, in the past, we had to do underground
missionary work. Now they are inviting me to their country.
Father recently appointed the one who used to be the editor of the
New York Tribune to The Washington Times. The Washington Times has
power. Do you understand? The Bush administration came to understand
and reads The Washington Times.
Father told us to learn Korean by 1990 and that all the official
meetings would be done in Korean. Trying to use English is not easy for
Father. You should really learn Korean.
The Washington Times will really sharpen its weapons to save America
and the world. Father went to Washington and met all these headstrong
people like Ron Godwin, Don Sills, Bob Grant and Congressman Icord and
told them that now it is their responsibility to revive and resurrect
American Christianity. Father told them, "Through The Washington
Times, I fought against communism successfully. So I must go on to my
world mission." Father's work is saving the world. It is America's
mission to save American Christianity. Father cannot do America's
mission for them. They understood and Father formed a revival team and
they are going to seriously go for big-city revivals. In July, they
will do such major American cities as New York, Washington, and Los
Angeles. They are going to have an all-out revival meeting embracing
all Christian ministers, because they too are Christian ministers. We
need to support them and prepare their base.
Now the plan is underway that we will go together with the big name
ministries, as a joint revival team. The media are very misguided in
this country and now since they know what they have done, they cannot
go against Reverend Moon anymore. After reading this book, Inquisition ,
people know what happened and they know that there is a very serious
teaching of Reverend Moon. Now they are demanding to know what it is
why did all the Christian churches go against it? Now we will really
make a big sound or noise. We will meet other Christian churches
through the revival meetings and the media will help teach what
Reverend Moon is teaching because people want to know. Do you follow?
This is happening now. Now is a timely opportunity for university
campus ministers, along with the media's direction. This is the time
Father needs you. Father is even prepared to stand right at the
forefront. Father never works in a conceptual, wishy-washy way. Father
is very direct.
We have to bring NCC in and all the other organized, powerful groups
for reviving the Christian churches in this country. The media world
will take part by reporting correctly.
Outwardly, externally, we will continue to promote this revival
meeting and inside the campus, you will stir the campus up. This time
we will mobilize all the parents who kidnapped their children and
opposed us, as well as those who welcomed us. We will gather everybody
to participate. Alumni and universities and relatives who have opposed
our members and our movement-at this time, we have to have a showdown,
once and for all. Is Reverend Moon a good guy or a bad guy? For what?
For saving America? For helping America take proper action until now?
Is this result bad or not? People will be sorry for having taken the
position that Reverend Moon is bad. Once all the campus chaplains are
connected and united, the world is no problem. In university chapels,
all denominations are all mixed up. If we can make that kind of true
attitude, then the outside world will immediately connect. The campus
world can generate that kind of power. Every university has the main
established churches present. Many of them have high-level children,
the ministers' and deacons' children, attending them.
We are making a revival centering on those people. We are teaching
the Divine Principle. We understand the times more and the situation.
Once we have made that kind of foundation on the campuses, we can
influence society, proclaim to all the Protestant churches that we are
working for the survival of American Christianity and the Christian
cultural foundation. The main purpose of campus ministry is to ignite
that fire.
Work hard, take that kind of action. This is the reality and that
kind of successful result is really possible. Can you do it or not?
(Yes!) We have that kind of powerful teaching. Give it your fire, your
spirit, your best, and the situation will be very hopeful. Satan's
power cannot eliminate what Father's words can do. Understand? Can you
do it or not? (Yes!)
This will take place in all 50 states. The fact that Soviets from a
Marxist-Leninist background are now studying the Divine Principle and
accepting it- Father's foundation made that possible. This is
possible, too. This is a hopeful way. The important thing is to take
action.
All the time, Father has been taking the most serious way. You have
to make a decision. The only way is to take action. The last point is
to take action. For God, take action. If you take action, God will take
care of your situation for you and you need not worry. According to
heaven, that is the way. You will get the prize. Go on that kind of
adventure, take that kind of risk. Do you understand? (Yes.) Dr. Seuk,
push them out. Accept persecution, don't let it make you lose that
spirit. Don't retreat from the front line. Be on fire.
When we make that foundation, how wonderful it will be; how we can
turn America around. No matter how much they come against me, Reverend
Moon has that kind of confidence, because I am on the righteous side.
Don't you think Father is tearful? In Korean, we call that pisada,
the one who goes through so much suffering and misfortune and is not
rewarded, is continuously miserable. Sometimes he may be like your own
father who worked so hard to raise eight children in the countryside.
Don't you feel pity for Father? Father is saying Father cannot believe
in Americans, he cannot trust them, because they think and act
according to their own convenience, not according to the absolute
standard. They like to interpret things expediently.
The strangest thing is-it may not be strange to you at all-but after
being together some ten, twenty years, suffering together-when they
leave, they don't even say good-bye. You happen to be on the same train
or the same plane and they don't even say hello to you. This is
unthinkable in the Oriental or the Korean mind. No matter how big an
enemy you are, after being together ten years, you must say,
"Good-bye. This is the reason I am leaving you." They say
that and when that doesn't happen, then you really feel bad. Why do you
think Father is tearful? Because Father never hated anyone. Father
never thinks of that person in such an enemy way but that person thinks
about Father in such a way and when you have to be treated in such a
way by some people like that, we say it is pitiful.
Father is stressing another point-that Cain and Abel must be one.
Sometimes people take a different way, but it is an historical thing
that is happening. Unless Cain and Abel really come into unity of
heart, Father has no position, the Parents cannot stand in their
position. Father is taking campus ministry very seriously. These
younger people are the hope of America; not so much the older people in
America. Still, it is our young people who are the hope.
Christian churches are actually in agreement with us that we should
help them to revive the Christian churches. They have nothing to oppose
and that is what we want to do, to revive the Christian churches.
Campus ministry will help. This is a Korean example, but in Korea,
because of the slump of Christian churches in Korea, the ministers' own
children, their own sons and daughters, have become atheists and
communists. Father is determined to take them back to the church
side.
Would you like Father to read out the instructions, or do you have
it in your minds already? Please write down the following:
Instructions on the Day of All Things.
The Past:
- To own material is for the purpose of or for the sake of saving
people. In other words, Father is referring to the Old Testament era.
- To restore men is to find the Parents.
- The reason True Parents are suffering on earth now is so that
they can establish God here on earth.
In other words, one is referring to the Old Testament days, the fact
that we use physical material is to find the lost children. Number two
is to have found the people for the sake of receiving Parents and that
is what happened in the New Testament days.
This is the dispensational view of the past and the present.
The Present:
- What we need the most is restoring elder sonship.
- To restore True Parentship, to represent True Parents.
- To restore Kingship.
To God, we are the princes and princesses. If we hadn't fallen, we
would have been the princes and princesses of God. Please remember
that. This is the way it is. It is true.
The Future:
- The unification between mind and body. In the future, parents
will give birth to children whose minds and bodies have been united.
- The unification of families.
- The unification of the nation.
- The unification of the world.
Then next, the unification of the universe, means that the spirit
world and physical world must come into unity. Unless we found or find
a country, mind and body unification cannot come to happen.
Now it is a completely different caption.
- The revival of Christianity: the re-resurrection of Christianity.
Actually, revival is going back to what it used to be. Once it used to
be high, now they revive it back to that standard. That standard does
not apply to what Father says, but what Father means here is to
re-resurrect. Christianity is dead; now we want to re-resurrect it.
That means if you resurrect, you come into the Jesus position, like a
revival. Re-resurrect.
A revival meeting is a resurrection meeting or party.
- University campuses and campus ministers become one, connecting
churches, CARP, and outside youth organizations like the YWCA and YMCA
and other Christian groups together. The other groups are standing in
the Cain position; the Unification Church is standing in the Abel
position. As Cain and Abel unite and become one, then the Parents
position can come. Otherwise, parents' activity cannot come about.
This is the Principle viewpoint. You have to know that. The
resurrection providence, or way, is the re-creation way. Re-creation
means that the atmosphere after that is such that in the center is the
subject/object position, automatically, the plus/minus being. That
vertical concept is the vertical Cain and Abel. The horizontal Cain and
Abel are husband and wife.
- Joining together between students and parents. Now they are sort
of antagonistic towards each other, but we have to restore that. If
parents join in CARP activity, then it will be automatically extended
to the revival meeting, the re-resurrection.
- The second generation of existing Christian churches and
resurrection.
- By doing number four, five now becomes possible. Five is the
re-establishment of the moral family. Father is connecting that with
communism, which operated according to the dialectic. We reunify it.
- Joining together with YMCA and YWCA.
- The existing church will take up the role of the saving country,
saving mission. What Father means in this is that the church, by
resurrecting itself, will come to be aware that their actual mission is
to save the country, so saving the church doesn't remain saving the
church. They automatically extend to saving the country. The church
activities should be extending to summit activities.
Now we begin a new caption.
- Famous universities of top countries, American and Russian, for
example, will make brotherhood or sisterhood ties. Centering on the
3,000 Russian members, we will invite American students.
- American students will organize a Moscow students' group for the
purpose of training. If we have a big revival meeting or a resurrection
meeting anytime, we can bring Abel Russian students back and they can
help us with it. American students will be trained in Moscow and the
world.
- Selection of world-class leaders.
- Movement for American/Russian alliance. This will be a world
alliance, going beyond the boundaries of thought. Communism,
democracy-we don't want to recognize them. We will just go beyond that.
Next, the leadership of Russia and students ought to be connected, so
connect to Russian leaders.
Next, to connect with what used to be the communist realm, and make
alliances. In other words, all the formerly communist countries, 36 of
them, will all get together and become one.
Title: the Federation of World Peace and Call of Duties
- The realization of an alliance of all Russian religions and
arming with thought.
- Izvestia will join together with other newspapers.
There will be a nationwide arming with Divine Principle.
- To immediately increase the number of missionaries to Russia. The
change of the Soviet system and the establishment of important
personnel, leader type personnel.
- A big organization for a world peace alliance is needed.
- Bringing together the important religious leaders and the
important political leaders for world peace. Unless these two become
one, world peace can never be realized. Neither political nor religious
organizations can do it alone, only by them joining together will you
have hope for eternal peace. The preparation for the big August meeting
and joining of the world level. In other words, by holding this big
August meeting, world unity will be made.
-
- The professors' world
- The religious leaders
- Political leaders
An American-Russian alliance for the purpose of rearming
America's Christianity and for the establishment of the moral family.
The Russian/ American alliance has those two purposes.
Inquisition and our Age: that means that now the world will come to
know how America has persecuted religion, against the Constitution.
They have left so clear a trace. We will make an issue out of that and
let it help rearm Christianity.
The book Inquisition should quickly be translated into the native
language in all mission countries. Each missionary should plan this.
Responsibility as a savior. Father means the Tribal Messiah, and
his teaching to other people to enlighten them.
Utilizing this transition time. Now is a transition time, so we
should never miss the chance.
Make a bold acclamation and the tradition of victory. You never
can fail. Invincible should be the word. We should establish an
invincible tradition.
To grasp the opportunity for worldwide public relations. To let
our thought be known worldwide, we must grasp our opportunities and
advertise to the world.
The Tribal Messiah era. We must establish value, marching forward
in full scale.
The mobilization of -day witnessing on a worldwide scale. This
time we really should wipe out the opposing force.
You should take a good memo of the Inquisition book. You
will find it very, very useful. It is so very clear how the government
planned the persecution.
The last. To bring the Unification Church into being the largest
religious group in the whole of history.
Wishing you Godspeed. Amen.
Father wishes that you will take this memoranda for direction. Now
you have a sense of direction, so read this carefully and follow that
direction. That's what Father wishes. If America is Cain, America has
no way to be saved. Our Unification Church position is Abel. With the
result of their combining into one, then we can save the Parents'
position. This is the Principle viewpoint.
Christianity, the established churches, must be combined into one
with us. We clearly went over the conflict with the government, so the
nation and our church became one in God's eyes, so together let us save
American Christianity.
When we have accomplished this, then the foundation of Father's
activity will become really strong; that means, of course, that the
Christian churches will accept Father. That means everything-the whole
problem will be solved. The Washington Times should understand this
clearly and help by going together in the same direction. That is what
newspapers are for.
CARP, campus ministry, and our church should really get together.
There is no reason not to. With that understanding, Father wishes that
you will do your very best and become a victor.
As a representative of campus ministry, can someone give the closing
prayer?
