Now we are in the position to see that the tide of the world is
not influenced by many people. It does not take many, many people
to shape events; rather, one or two decide the trends and the
tide. We can see very easily that the tide of history always has
been influenced by a few people who represent many. Only a few
represent the Soviet Union, America, or Asia. They are the ones
who decide the direction of history.
The Soviet Union now is witnessing the fall of communism. The
secular humanism which is the guiding philosophy of life in
America and the free nations is failing. The fall of these
previously held concepts as well as the religious thought
undergirding them lets all know that their direction holds no
guarantee of success. They have difficulty in keeping up with the
times.
The Soviet Union and China are going down. The United States
thinks it is leading but the reality of America indicates
weakness. There are many problems in the family; everywhere there
are difficulties. Nobody would have believed that America would
become like this. What leader really knows how to lead his
country in these times? Even the American president does not
know. Here Reverend Moon looms up and people begin to pay
attention, asking "who is he?"
We all know what has transpired. For years Father predicted the
future of the communist countries and how communism would fall.
Everyday in every year Father said what would happen in the
Soviet Union, and now history has come to pass as Father
predicted. Also Father juxtaposed all the problems existing in
America and warned how America would become. Father also proved
to be very accurate in predicting what America would be. So now
many people in the world are beginning to pay attention to
Father-what he says and how he leads. Look for example at the
recent ICUS. Father gathered together scholars centering on the
science conference, as well as religious leaders from around the
world. At the same time Father brought together leaders of the
world and showed them the clear way to peace in a unified world
in the future. No-one else dared do that, but Father did, and
everyone believed in Father because of what he has done in the
past.
This fostered a lot of hope for the world and the future. Without
one way, you cannot have one goal. Everyone says "We want peace.
Peace." But we have to have one way to pursue the one goal which
is peace. Father made that very clear. Now everybody saw for the
first time how peace can be achieved. Father even told them what
peace is. Father gave a very basic definition of peace, yet even
this flabbergasted people. Father showed the clear way to achieve
peace.
Now the Unification Church, centering upon Father, has literally
come to the apex, the highest plateau of the world. Father has
clearly shown where the world should go.
What everybody assembled there together needs is the pulling
power, the locomotive, the engine. Someone has to pull them in
that one direction of world peace, which Father laid out clearly,
and that one locomotive or pulling power should be none other
than you. All the Unification Church members must be that power.
Now the world already knows that we need a very powerful
direction. America and the free world have a Christian
background. With this Christian culture, based on the New
Testament and Old Testament, America is in the position to
reorganize itself based upon these newly revealed facts. America
is also in the position to help the communist countries who have
lost their ideals and help them reorganize. All of this is now
apparent. Everybody around the world knows. But the ironic thing
is that only the Unification Church members are in the dark. They
still do not know clearly that this is happening.
Using our teaching, we have solved all the difficult points in
the Bible. Therefore we are greatly empowered. The power is in
our hands. We should be able to turn people from atheism to
theism. We are armed with that degree of power. And in the future
we should be able to lead the world. We should be full of power
NOW. That's the fact.
You have the arms, the weapons, but are powerless and don't know
how to apply it. You don't even know what you have. That's the
problem. Maybe we will all be dragged out by Father, first this
way and then that. We have been so-called obedient, and have
followed Father. But we haven't had the slightest idea what all
this is leading to, what this really is. Now, as we have
witnessed, all Father's important dispensational moves have been
accomplished. As far as Father's role is concerned, everything is
complete. But we don't know the fact that Father has already done
this. We don't even know what he has done! That's our situation.
Maybe you thought you walked the horizontal way, but actually you
have been climbing up, and even now you should climb up more,
rather than walk on the horizontal plane. We should walk
vertically!
Now when you are walking horizontally, you can see fairly well
where to go. But when you climb vertically, it takes all your
might, every ounce of energy to go forward. There is no time to
look around at leisure. You have to climb at the cost of your
life.
Now are you on the same plateau as Father? Do you have no need to
climb anymore? No; we must continue to climb. We are aware of the
Eight Stages Ceremony (Pal Chung Shik), but at which stage are
you? Just like an elementary school course has a number of grades
to pass through, in which grade are you now?
Restoration by indemnity means that we are to pay the price first
and then we go one step up. Now do we really practice this way of
life? To begin with, do you believe it? You say "Yes," but
are you paying the price, indemnifying and then moving on?
Just as there are cycles, such as the time of the first coming
and time of the second coming, you have to re-indemnify and
elevate the level. We have to restore by indemnity. Does the rule
apply to us also? Very much so. Then what grade are you? At what
stage of the eight stages are you now? The individual level?
Family level? Clan level? Then are you at the perfection level of
the individual? You have to measure your own position with your
own ruler. Have your mind and body achieved unity? If your mind
and body are not achieving unity, can you still go up to heaven?
Of course this is one of the fundamental teachings we already
know, but then again, some people still do not really know it.
Can an individual whose mind and body did not yet come into
oneness have his family come into unity? According to reason we
must say "no". Have American and Japanese members come into
oneness? Have we achieved unification between American and
Japanese?
Thanks to Father, who has somehow, all alone created an overall
harmony, somehow everybody has survived, and sometimes are even
getting along very well. Think about it. It's really a
mind-chilling phenomena. If Father was not offering himself, then
you would not be connected to any center. When you are not
connected, you become independent. You then have no base to
achieve unification, not at any level. Not even at the individual
level and certainly not at the family level, much less the true
country level. That's something we have to consider.
When Father removes himself from here, can you achieve the same
results as today? Just think what it would be like if Father were
not available.
Unfortunately we cannot simply go up to heaven. "Oh Father, you
are in heaven; so am I". We cannot say that. Not everyone who
goes to the same school graduates at the same time. There are all
kinds of variety, centering on the teacher. Some really follow
what the teacher teaches and practices, making effort day and
night. Others goof off all the time. There is a spectrum
including all kinds. Not everybody graduates at the same time.
Some flunk and have to do it all over again. They may take how
many years? God knows!
What is your own assessment? What do you think about yourself? Do
you think, now Father can leave you all on your own and you will
continue to foster and protect the ideal, and you will promote
it? Will you teach it to other people and safeguard it without
Father's help? Can you do that without Father being close to you?
Can we do it by ourselves, just as Father has been doing it
himself? That means, since the seed has been planted and now it
is harvest time, can Father now harvest? Is that grain now ready
to be sown again, so it can also bear fruit? That is the
question. When you harvest grain, some seeds are healthy, and
when planted they will bear fruit. But some grains, although
having a perfect shape, have nothing inside, there is something
missing. Some grains are decaying, they are rotting. Such grains
cannot produce healthy crops. So there are all different types of
grain even in the same harvest. Do you understand the analogy?
Father is harvesting at all the different levels-individual,
family, nation and world levels. Father has established the
International Religious Federation for World Peace centering on
religious people, and he has also established the Federation for
World Peace centering on political figures. The political figures
are like the body and the religious people are like the mind,
even though in the past this proper order always has been
reversed. The people in the body position have been influencing
badly the people in the mind position. In other words, the
politicians have always been suppressing the true religious
activities. So Father has corrected that this time. Father took
the religious people and the political people and set them where
they should be, making unification within each side and then
between them. That is what Father did in Korea.
So now, what is the difference? The difference is great. The
political groups have always influenced people away from the
position of the mind, and this should not be so. Now that Father
has set everything in the right position, great changes can
occur. The religious people, who are in the mind's position, will
take initiative and take a leading role over those who are in the
body's position, that is the politicians. Who has done that
before? Who in the religious sphere has done this? Without
centering on Father, this cannot be done. Without becoming one
with Father , no-one else can do it.
These newly unified religious people will exert more influence in
their own countries over other religious people too, and then
eventually exert God-centered influence over political
activities. They have just made such a beginning. In America, for
instance, centering on the President, all the different religious
factions can come into one arena and unite. They can understand
that something may be imperative for the country, and then
respond. But until now there has been no real center. Who leads
them, and to where? There is nothing that God wants more badly
than the true center. That means, God really wants some person
and group in the spirit mind's position to have subjectivity over
the political people who are in the body's position. Heavenly
Father wants to see that very much.
It is nothing short of amazing that people representing science,
politics and religion all gathered together. You know what their
relationship has been like until now. No one of them could follow
or respect the other. They were all downright enemies. Religion
and science have been enemies to a great extent. Politics and
religion have also been enemies, and politics and true science
also have been enemies to some extent. Now these three will get
together and embrace and welcome Reverend Moon without
criticizing each other. Naturally, and most importantly, none of
them will criticize Reverend Moon. This is an amazing historical
event.
In history nothing like this has happened. But to Father, this is
not amazing at all. It is something that should be happening
everyday in your own city, in your own village, in your own
arena. Everywhere you go, you should reproduce that. What is odd
is that we have not seen this happen in the past.
The practical question is, when you go back to your own hometown
and find scientists, politicians and religious people, can you
play the role which Father has been playing all his life? Can you
harmonize them? Can you make them take you as their center?
There are a lot of trees in America and a lot in Korea. They are
not different trees, but similar. For example, the poplar tree in
America and Korea is the same. If you engraft American poplar
into a Korean or Japanese poplar, it will become even stronger.
By today's method of cloning, even an individual cell can be
cloned. Father gave the poplar as an example. But what about a
Reverend Moon tree? A Reverend Moon tree is big and strong and
nice. Did we become its branch or clone so that everywhere we go
we can be recognized as a small Reverend Moon tree? What is your
answer? "Yes, I am a small Reverend Moon tree"?
What does a Reverend Moon tree look like? How can we define a
Reverend Moon tree? First of all, he is a man God loves. That one
man that God loves so dearly does not just sit down and receive
love from God. In fact he tries to love God in ever greater
degrees. He is that kind of tree. No matter how many times he
finds himself on the verge of dying, he doesn't die. He lives
again and always tries to do even more to fulfill God's will.
What about you? If you experience a severe setback, do you just
simply die, or do you never die, because you are a Reverend Moon
tree? To achieve God's goal in this world, just as Father we must
give up our lives, our wives, give up our children and even our
nations to go after God's will. Are we ready to do this? Think
about it deeply. Don't just say "Yes Father, Yes Father".
It's
not that easy. You know that. Think deeply, and then say "Yes
Father." It's life and death. Will you still say yes when you go
through greatest torture in prison? You can only imagine how
painful it is if they use pliers to pull the nails off your
fingers. Can you still say "Yes Father" then? Then they cut
your
finger and they do all kinds of terrible things to you. That's a
very serious situation. What if you go through that? How many
times are you prepared to die for the sake of the will of God?
Even Jesus had to ask God "why are you giving me up?". What
about
you? Are you going to be better than Jesus? He then said, "Not
as
I will but as You will." He acknowledged that there was God's
will and Jesus' will and they were not necessarily the same. "I
don't want to die. I want to achieve my will for God." That was
Jesus' will. But to let him die was God's will. Jesus said,
"Don't do as I will but do as You will." Are we going to repeat
that? How many times?
All of us have lived "as I will," but now we have to die and
be
resurrected. We have to be born again. When the American
government very unjustly indicted Father, Father didn't have to
come back to this country. If Father hadn't come, that would have
been the end. America would have been happy and nobody would have
questioned Father. They could not have forced Father to come back
so they could punish him since there was no treaty between Korea
and America. So even if he had committed many crimes, there was
no way they could have forced him back. Father decided on his own
to come back. Why? He saw that it was God's will. He saw that
there was a way that America could be saved as a result of Father
going to prison. So Father said, "Gladly I will go God's way. So
he came back to America and went straight to prison. That opened
up an avenue, a way for America to repent. If Father didn't come
back and go to prison then America would have no way to repent.
But as it is Father came back and sacrificed himself, like dying
on the cross. Now there is a way open for America to repent, and
when God accepts their repentance then America will live again.
We have seen the grand rule. God sacrifices His own loving sons
and daughters, putting them to death. As a result of that He
saves a greater number of people. God has been doing that ever
since history began and He did it to Father. This is God's
formula. He does that to all his loving sons and daughters. Why?
Because of the fall. Man inadvertently received Satan's lineage,
his blood, his life, his love. Man has no choice. To be in God's
lineage, man must give up all these things. He must go through
and beyond the difficulty of giving them up. It is like dying.
You must first die before God can lift you up. That means we must
go beyond the realm of this world, of Satan's love and Satan's
life. We must go over Satan's world and be free of these three
powers-Satan's love, life and lineage. This is then the starting
point for the heavenly site, a foundation on the earth.
If someone says, "Are you going to save your life or give up the
connection to Satan?" you must be able to say, "I will give
up my
life and give up Satan's connection." You must even deny your
life. All of us want to be saved, right? But what do you mean?
You are already alive, are you not? You are breathing, walking,
speaking, you are very healthy and alive, so why do you need to
be saved? You are alive but dead. So that means that you have to
go out of the realm in which you are and move into a new realm of
God. We want to be saved in that way. In order to start love,
life and to start everything godly, no matter how difficult it
is, what we need is to live or die for it.
So the Bible says that unless you receive the Holy Ghost, the
Holy Spirit, you cannot be saved, you cannot live. When you
receive the Holy Ghost, when you receive Mother, then you will
come to a new realm. Do you follow? The Holy Ghost is what kind
of God? It is the feminine God. What about Jesus? What gender of
God is he? He is the husband God, the world God. Since Jesus died
without fulfilling all things that he was to accomplish, the
relationship became vertical between husband and wife instead of
horizontal. The husband and wife relationship should be
horizontal, but in Jesus' case Jesus went to heaven and the Holy
Spirit continued to work on earth. Satan became rampant in
between. Now in true love, these two must come into unity. So we
become as ones conceived in the Holy Spirit (in the Mother's
position), conceived a new and thus "reborn." And Jesus' male
element is also part of the process of my rebirth. We are not
born by the mother alone. The father's part should be in the
mother before I can be born. That means that the Holy Ghost,
representing the mind side, and you, on the body side, become one
and receive the father's seed. Then Jesus can come upon us and we
can receive love from the father's side before conception takes
place. That is the meaning of being born again.
Whether you are a man or a woman, the Holy Ghost will come in the
mind's position to each of you in the body position. You must
become one with the Holy Ghost, and then Jesus will come down and
inject love so the new person can be born.
That is exactly how the fall took place between Eve and the
Archangel. It is the same pattern, only this time it is God and
Jesus coming down, not the Archangel. That is the meaning of
being born again in Christianity. But that reversal is the
spiritual reversal. Now in substance we have to be born again.
That comes at the time of the Second Advent. Mind and body will
become one for the first time and will receive the inheritance
from our Father.
This has been demonstrated often, in the early days of our church
and even now. Whether we are man or woman, it doesn't matter, we
really miss Father so much, so much that we even cry-in complete
oneness.
There should be a role to be played with the passion of an
unmarried Adam-person going into the mother's womb to be born
again. It is relatively simple to explain what takes place. But
it can be very difficult to actually go through this rebirth
process. We haven't taken this serious step have we? You may hear
what Father is saying, but what is Father really saying?
Simply, we are born again spiritually through Jesus and the Holy
Ghost. That gives us a very important condition-that we are
reborn through Father's body. It is important that we have this
horizontal connection centering upon the body, with Father.
Otherwise we cannot complete the process of being born again, and
we cannot fulfill the course of restoration. We know that we have
to be restored, which means to be born again.
Those spirit men who have never been born again come down and
connect with an actual physical body to experience this
born-again process. Then they can be born again through the body.
When that happens, then the spirit man is actually born again and
his mind and body are both perfected, and salvation is now
complete. If you really love Jesus, when Jesus feels pain, you
will feel pain too because you are part of him. You have to be
that close. We are part of him because we are his children. The
same thing occurs with Father. When Father feels so much pain, we
have to feel the same pain or else we are not one with Father.
In the same way as you imagine you are a fetus in the mother's
womb, you are the result of father's sperm, so we should feel the
father's pain also because we are connected. But are we like
that? If we are not, it means we still have a distance to go
before we are restored. We must close that gap now while we have
a body. What happens if we die now? Let's say a person has this
much of a gap, this gap could continue on for hundreds of
thousands of years in the spirit world. How about a larger gap?
It would continue on longer. Now while we have a body we must
become one. Then we probably won't have to wait thousands of
years.
As much as Father taught us, it somehow has been eluding us. We
did not concretely learn all that he taught. We still tend to
think, "Somehow I will go to heaven." We have to be more exact,
correct? We have to really know what it takes. It's a science.
You can discern the person who is very exacting from one who is
not. How do you tell? Their mind and body do not fight each other
so much. Such a person whose mind and body do not fight, we say,
"he's one with Father".
When mind and body are born again through true love, the person
is free. This is not rhetorical or abstract; this is reality.
Here is a man who used to love drinking very much, but now his
mind and body became one, through true love. So he's well
connected to Father. Then all of a sudden he realizes he really
hates to drink wine. That kind of phenomenon always happens.
Cigarettes, homosexuality, all these lose their allure. For
instance, what happens if our brother or sister who joined the
Unification Church continued to have homosexual experiences on
and on. They would go directly to hell; there is no way they
would return to heaven. We must understand this clearly. Then how
can he be saved? When he becomes moved by the Holy Spirit, then
somehow he will not desire to do that anymore. Re-birth through
true love occurs. No matter how much he liked smoking, drinking
or even homosexual activities, the mind now says, "No this is no
good." Then that's it. It's the end of the dispute. He simply
doesn't like it. He hates it. You will become like that. You must
become like that.
What if you tried and tried to make that happen? Then you have to
try harder. You have to cry and cling to God to make it happen.
This is up to you. You have to pray. You have to deny your body,
even to extremes, and you have to ask God to make your mind and
body become one. Prayer is essential. Don't underestimate the
power of prayer. Pray. Ask God, ask God. Beg God. Forget other
things. All you want to do is experience Parents' love, inherit
Parents' love. That's all you should want to do. Forget
everything else. Seek Parents' love, Parents' life, Parents'
lineage.
Isn't it the Principle view that since we started at one point,
then we need to return to that point, change course and then go
on? So we need to continue to deny ourselves until we reach that
zero point again. Then new life can begin. At that zero point a
new world, new life, new being can begin. So we need spiritual
parents and physical parents. Then we need to connect these two
into one. How difficult is Father's mission-to connect and unify
those two worlds and make a victorious atmosphere in the
spiritual world. To become the owner of this physical world, most
important is Mother.
The original point is the one point of Adam's couple. We went the
fallen way but we now have to come back to that original point,
losing all of Satan's world-everything: nation, tribe, parents,
brothers and sisters, even the self. We have to lose all this and
reconnect with Father's new seed in the mother's womb, and bear a
new child. From there a new world will start. This is the fallen
people's formula course-the way to go back to the original point.
This is according to Principle. This is not just Father's idea!
When you think about it, when were you born again? Can you
remember? Otherwise you cannot claim you have new life, a new
world centering on true love.
To be reborn is not easy. It is not simple. Heaven knew and Satan
knew, but no human being knew. But now many human beings know for
the first time in history. Father pioneered to road of knowing
and applying this. As a result of that we can accomplish this
now. So the Satanic world must depart now. It must lose ground,
step by step. The Satanic world began through a mother's womb
didn't it? So the new, sinless, born-again world should begin in
a mother's womb.
So here is a new Adam. We must become one with Adam and be born
again out of this new Adam. Therefore it is an absolute rule that
we must love Father more than anybody else. That's why Jesus
said, "You must love me more than anybody else, otherwise you
will not go to heaven-you will not be worthy of me".
This is not simply to be done on a joyous or comfortable
occasion. Each must bear his own cross, paying his own indemnity
to become like Father. We wish it would happen very simply,
automatically, but it doesn't happen like that. We have to
indemnify, we have to pay our indemnity to become like Father.
So this is very much a spiritual process, isn't it? To become
completely one with Father and to love him and cry for him means
we have to cry so much because we miss him so much. That is
spiritual. Then after that we are born again, and we have to go
through the horizontal path where we have to fight against the
world, accomplishing restoration through indemnity. So we have
two wars to fight: the spiritual and the horizontal. Who among
you are working very hard towards accomplishing that goal now?
Yes, each of you. We are all supposedly very busy doing that. Of
course we cannot do it simply by ourselves. Only parents can give
us rebirth.
Father is working very hard to make this process as easy as
possible for us. He is chasing Satan far away, as far away as
possible. Therefore we all don't have to fight Satan so much,
because Father already has defeated him. Isn't this true? Isn't
that what Father has done from the individual to the country and
world level. At the country level, people do not oppose us so
much because they understand what Reverend Moon did for America.
Father has established a foundation at every level and Satan has
retreated.
So both vertically and horizontally Satan is being pushed back
and as a result of that, we now enjoy a very peaceful atmosphere.
Now we have come into the time when Father can make the
Federation for World Peace. If we have not done anything before,
but now we take it very seriously and carry it out, then we can
become completely one with Father and he can re-create us any way
he wants us to be. We should not be plus in front of Father
because Father is plus, and two plusses repel each other. So we
have to be minus. If we deny ourselves, believe in Father and
obey Father, then we become one with Father, and Father can do
many, many things through us. He will say, "You go." And even
though you know you will die if you go, don't say "Oh no, I'll
die if I go." Can we say that? If we really think we will die
there and we say, "Father, do you really want me to go?" and
he
says, "Yes!" then we still go. The chances are that you won't
die
if God is guiding us. But that's God's problem. We should be
ready to die, correct? Now all of us here are special people,
special brothers and sisters here, but what is our qualification?
Satan would like to see that each individual would have passed
the life and death border a long time ago. We should always be
ready to die.
But why does Father always nag me and chase me into a very
uncomfortable position? You are like a cup with dirty water in
it. So what do you want to do? Father would like to throw that
water away. Then Father would be free to refill you with real
water and you will be a different person. Do you understand? You
may not see yourself so clearly, thinking that water is alright
since you had that water all your life. But inside, God cannot
tolerate many of those dirty family elements. So Father wants to
first throw that out so he can re-fill you. That is a correct
analogy.
Now as you look back over your Unification Church life, maybe you
joined fifteen years ago. You suffered so much. Father knows
that. Father now says, "Let's suffer again, all over again".
You
respond, "Oh Father, should we do that all over again?" But
we
had best do that again. We want to empty ourselves once and for
all and then Father can work much more easily with us after that.
Blessed couples may say, "Oh Father, you blessed us, so I'm not
going to depart with some of these things. I'm going to hold onto
them for ever and ever.' Are you going to say that, or if the
task is big enough, you will go at any cost, forgetting your
husband, your wife, your children. They may starve, you don't
know, but if Father says "We must go," then we go. A lot of
you
went through that course. Once you have done that then we don't
have to suffer in the Satanic world again, from that point on.
Our heavenly life begins from there.
If Christianity and America had supported Father, Father would
not have had to go through all this. Father's family took all
this persecution for forty years. All you blessed couples are now
the growth stage of this process remaining. You have to follow
Father's path of the cross.
This is why Father is chasing the blessed couples away to the
couple's home. Once Jesus was crucified there was no way for us
to evade going that same course. We may not be crucified
literally, but we have to be crucified symbolically. So if Father
has gone the same course, there is no way for us to evade going
that same course as Father. We must go. Even though it may be
only a short time. When Father went through that difficult course
it was under terrible persecution, much more difficult than now.
Now there is no persecution, so it is much easier for us. But
still we must go this way. There is no way we can avoid that. If
you go now, there is always somebody who can take care of your
children. But when Father started this course this was not so.
Father had to fight every inch of the way, in every area. Now,
nobody will persecute your children when you leave them behind.
Because of what Father did in Korea recently, the Korean members
will suffer perhaps more than any other members, but the
Principle stays the same. Separate from your wife and your
children, and go. Now they are gone. What about the organization,
HSA? It doesn't matter. One individual will go and recover the
clan and then come back with the victory; that is tribal
messiahship.
What we have done on the individual level and the family level,
now we are doing on the clan level which is our perfection level.
Formation, growth and perfection, that is our formula course.
That is our organization, too. Wherever we go there is always
three tiers, three levels of relationship. Now we are working at
the clan messianic mission.
Now the time has come for each individual, by going through this
course, ultimately to go back to the original home, back to a
completely new world. There will be no persecution there. So
Father has restored himself three great rights: elder sonship,
parentship and kingship. By doing that he pushed back the Satanic
realm. He did this from the original Adam's position, the
position Jesus would have been in if he had fulfilled. That of
course is the position of the second coming, the original Adam's
position. The third Adam, the completed Adam, the Second Coming,
all these are synonymous.
Adam was the elder son wasn't he? But he lost that position
didn't he? Also, Adam was to be True Parents originally wasn't
he? He was also king, right? But he is now none of these.
On the 28th of July we all got together and heard the
pronouncement of the Royal Family of True Love. The royal family
was formed. The course that is taken from now is that of true
love. Father individually restored the individual, the family,
the clan, nation and world, and when he returns there is no
opposition. Peacefully he can return. When he returns, we all can
follow him and return too. The original Adam's course is the
vertical line. This time he is making the historical condition
based on true love. This same straight line will connect all
families, centering on true love. The individual portion is small
compared to heaven's portion. The tribal portion is bigger than
the individual, the national is bigger still, and world bigger
still. But all will have one center of true love, one main
direction. The world direction is connected with the individual
direction by the true love line. This is the love direction.
Satan cannot follow this way because we will be going in the
direction opposite to Satan's way-180 degrees different to
Satan's direction. From here, from Adam's family, a new age
starts. From Adam's family starts a new tribe and this ultimately
will connect to the world. The foundation of heaven's world is
the way opposite to Satan's. Heaven's side will gradually collect
all humankind through true love, by people understanding the true
way.
So now all the communist world and the free world welcome
Reverend Moon. They want to follow absolutely. So that means they
have to cut from everything that is not God's ideology and
concept. So if we multiply individual, family and clan
restoration then the whole world will come to exist within God's
world automatically. Adam was supposed to establish a nation.
That's what his purpose was. He was not simply meant to remain on
the family or clan level at all, but rather to establish a
country. Now we, by accomplishing clan-level restoration, will
automatically be able to make a country through the root.
Ultimately this big tree with a big trunk will be connected by
engrafting. The tribe forms the branches which is connected to
the trunk and root.
You are in the original Adam's position, given to you by Father,
and he has said "go." So you are to go back to your hometown
to
become a tribal messiah. By doing that you can resurrect your own
physical father and mother, and they too can stand in the
position of restored Adam and restored Eve. You are in the
position of Jesus' family whereas Father is the True Parents' family and through
them everyone is automatically connected to the same realm
horizontally. By doing that you will eventually get rid of the
position of fallen Adam and Eve. You will also rid yourself of
the failed Jesus position. In other words, you will establish a
successful position and be connected directly to Father's
position. By doing that the restored world will automatically
come to exist. The first, second and third Adam will horizontally
come into one, come into unity. There is now no spiritual
atmosphere that will work against this course. So we can recreate
the new Adam position, the new Jesus or second Adam position, and
completely connect them into one. The sons of the first Adam
(fallen people), and the sons of the second Adam (the Christians,
restored half way) all become one with the third Adam's
children's position.
We can make this connection through the tribal messiah
foundation.
You have your hometown. Why? Your parents take the fallen
position and we take the restored position. Jesus made a nation
and we can automatically connect with the world through the
engrafting process.
What it amounts to is that all you have to do is connect that
branch of yours into the main trunk. Then all of your clan will
come alive. As a condition Father has already pieced all these
together. So as soon as we connect ourselves then all things will
come alive. That is the strategy that works. Father's tree has
all the conditions within it. We connect with it, from the root,
by simply doing what Father is asking now. It will work. So all
parts of the world will be directly connected with our native
land, which happens to be your hometown, your native land, which
has nothing to do with the fall anymore.
Today, your hometown is still under Satan's dominion. But once
you go there and achieve this, then your hometown will be a
restored hometown. You don't have to do anything special because
of what Father has already done. So by connecting through you,
with the true root, this will be achieved.
The parents' concept consists of three parts: the fallen parents,
the second or Jesus' position parents, and the perfected parents.
We are at the perfection stage of the parents' concept now, so we
can fulfill all three parts.
The second position or middle position is always important
because it is the connecting point. As a result of that, Adam now
resurrects, and Jesus can resurrect, and your original self can
also resurrect. Do you follow? That is the sketch, the outline of
why the tribal messiah is necessary and why it works.
What is the actual meaning of the tribal messiah? First it is to
let your own physical parents stand in an unfallen position, a
restored position. The first thing you do is to put them in that
position. Some of them are in the spirit world, but still they
are under Satanic dominion, right? Jesus' disciples who are up in
the spirit world, and who are on earth, are still not exactly in
the heavenly domain. They are under Satanic dominion to some
extent. Perfected Adam is now working spiritually and physically.
He has created the victorious foundation to connect both
ways-spiritually and physically. So you too can connect with what
Father has achieved-the restored Adam position. And so all can be
connected with this. When that is realized then the full spirit
world can come down and resurrect. So we must do the tribal
messiah work so we can connect with the spirit world. We have a
lot of ancestry in the spirit world. To connect these three in
the course of formation, growth and perfection, you must carry
out tribal messiahship. By doing that, each level will be
connected to the true root. By doing this the whole resurrection
of spirit men becomes reality. This is what Father has been
looking to accomplish.
The second coming will be the perfected Adam, and the position of
Jesus and the first Adam will be in it, so your tribal messiah
work will directly connect all your ancestry to the perfected
Adam position. Jesus is a branch, Adam is a branch, there is
Father's own original branch-all these will be combined in one
concept of perfected Adam. The environment and domain of Adam was
small, Jesus' was a little larger, and so on, but each is still
connected to the mission of Adam, and Jesus. The core of each
centers on Adam's family, Jesus family and third Adam's family.
The restorational value is connected with the numbers of people
who center on each of these three. But ultimately all are
connected. The end result is that we will have the same value as
everything perfectly restored. Father wants all of us to reach
this.
One thing is for sure, even though you don't understand exactly
what Father is saying because of the problem of translation, you
must restore the fallen clan. You must be the clan messiah. You
understand that part don't you? Why? So that you can make your
own native land, your hometown, a heavenly hometown. And so you
can make your own parents not the enemies as they are now, but on
your side so you have your own foundation to stand on too. Then
your whole clan will be blessed. The hometown that they inhabit
will become a heavenly hometown. The hometown where Father was
originally born must be restored also, otherwise it cannot be
Father's hometown. The same applies to him. Just as Father must
have his own hometown, you also must your own hometown. This is
your mission-to restore it. You must feel God's heart by
returning to your hometown and working through it. Otherwise you
cannot live in heaven.
We have to restore Canaan. Because there is no persecution, no
opposition, Canaan can be directly connected through your own
hometown. The providential time makes this possible. So going
back to your hometown, all you have to do is enroll in the
Israelites' position, as belonging to one of the tribes. A
tribe's ultimate goal is to establish a nation. That is the
tribe's whole purpose.
We must understand that when the Israelites went into Canaan,
almost four thousand years ago, they were more like beggars. They
had been out in the wilderness for forty years. Compared to the
Canaanites, they were beggars. The Canaanite seven tribes were
rich, they had cattle, homesteads, pretty daughters and good
sons, everything. Now the Israelites were in the position to
digest the Canaanites. But they were digested by the Canaanites
and Jesus had to suffer so much as a consequence. We are to set a
Godly tradition. We are not to go back to Satan's tradition.
There are the seven tribes of the Canaanites, but we are in the
elder son's position. That is the difference. The Satanic world
will automatically stand in the younger brother's position. If
you use your good subjectivity, the good inner sovereignty of
yours, then they will listen to you. Now the big difference
between you and your brothers to be restored is that they are
individualistic but you are holistic. So they are about to be
digested by you. You bag is bigger than their bag.
I wrote down these directions in my memos and gave them to the
Korean and Japanese members. Now I will give them to you, and it
will be all over the world. Follow exactly what I tell you.
"The Conference Memos and Direction given
before Father left Korea the 29th of August, 1991."
- The Return to Canaan, Restoration of Canaan, and its Dispensational Meaning.
Tribal Messiahship, which we must take very seriously, would not
have been necessary if Christianity and America had received
Father 46 years ago. Within seven years, what you are about to
accomplish would have been accomplished-by 1950. It was extended,
postponed forty years. The date has been pushed back to 1992 as
the date by which this has to be accomplished, instead of 1950.
- What was the purpose of the course in the wilderness? The
purpose of the course in the wilderness was to separate from
Satan, to separate Satan's world from God's world. To separate
the two, it took Korean history 4000 years. We had to restore
4,300 years in 43 years.
- Now that we have gone through the wilderness course, we have
to return to our home town and restore our ancestry.
- Restore Elder-Sonship.
- Restore Parentship.
- Restore Kingship.
- Make three great victorious conditions: your grandfather,
your father and your brothers should serve you. You are Abel and
Cain must be subjugated.
- Original Ideal Family
-
- Heavenly Father King
- Earthly King
- Prince
That means three generations. The Heavenly King position is the
heavenly position. The King on Earth position is the Father and
Mother's position, and the prince is the children's position.
These three positions represent different levels of kingship. The
first represents the past (grandfather), the second represents
the present and the third one, the prince, represents the future.
- Husband and wife living in the True Love Palace.
- Parents and Children in True Love.
- Establishing a new tradition that is 180-degrees different
from the satanic tradition.
- Complete absorption and digestion of the Cain traditions, the
Cain realm.
- Establishing a nation: bringing everything into the heavenly
position, the environment of heaven. In there our standard has to
be very high. What standard? The standard of filial sons and
daughters has to be very high, the standard of royal citizens
toward the king has to be high, the standard of sainthood should
be high (higher than the historical standard), and the standard
of the holy man should be high. You see even the world has sons
and daughters of filial piety. But our standard for filial sons
and daughters should be higher, our standards of sainthood and
holiness has to be higher.
- Training
Organization based on the Divine Principle view:
- Neighborhood (tong-ban), precinct (li), town (myun)
- Town, county, state
- County, state, central government
- State, central government, capital congress
- Central government, congress, world
- Congress, world, cosmos
- King's Palace, God
This is the organizational plan based on the Divine Principle.
Everything is comprised of three. The eye represents God, the
nose, Adam and Eve, mouth, all things. The eyes have three
parts-white, iris, and pupil. The ear also has three parts.
Everything is created in three stages.
- The Contents of the Organization.
If you so wish you can team up as four. Working alone is
sometimes difficult. So four people can team up and form a group
and work together, and have an advantage. A tribal messiah group
can work together, and take turns. Do you know what Father means?
Instead of doing everything individually, four people get
together and you can take turns staying in this home town and
then the next -four different home towns. Also, you can form a
twelve-person group. That doesn't mean Father is saying work with
twelve people. No, work alone; but, if you find it more
advantageous, four people get together and work. If still you
cannot do that then you can form a twelve person group. That is
an alternative. If you are a really good organizer you can
organize up to a 120-person group.
- Tribal Messiahs accomplish 120 families and 360 families and
if you multiply that by two, 720 families. Those are your goals.
Once you get their agreement to be trained, you can do almost
anything to teach them.
- In the particular situation of Korea, many are from North
Korea, so obviously they cannot go to their hometown right now.
So in Korea Father allowed them to select a second hometown and
establish that, which will immediately be connected to their
original hometown when the north/south border is abolished. So
Father is recognizing them as second son, and when the first son
is restored, of course then you will have a first and second son.
That pertains more to Korea, but in America also you can do the
same thing. Even though you have your own original hometown you
can select, just like in Korea, a second hometown. That means
that when they pay enough attention to Unification Church and its
teaching and its essence, its True Parentship, then that second
town can follow just as easily as your hometown. Our main task is
to teach them Divine Principle.
- Educational training
- Itinerary workers. IWs conduct the revival meetings and
so forth. Over one hundred American members just went to the
Soviet Union and did things similar to which Father is now
describing there. We are about to do these things in our own
hometown.
- Unification comes not from the country but from the individual
and family levels. It works its way up, not works its way down:
from individual to family, clan, nation and world. Use public
meeting places and churches as the training sites, teaching
rooms. In America we have a lot of churches so we have lots of
teaching areas. In Korea you can live in churches temporarily.
Actually you can come and live there physically, but in America
it's a little different situation. That means use the Christian
churches like your brother's home. Maybe we can change the
pattern, and people can stay overnight.
- We will train and arm people with thought that is superior to
the world's level. That means, in the world they have a value
system which is pretty weak; but ours should be stronger. Our
thought and organization should be stronger than our counterparts
in the satanic world. By doing that we can win over the social
situation (of course this is very much with the Korean situation
in mind, but it applies almost equally to America). We organize
an effective team and organization and teaching, centering on
good people.
- The Mission of the Tribal Messiah: Three Great Missions
- Parent
Teacher
Owner, or master
Father often uses these concepts, but also these are basic
concepts for us to understand and use.
- Owner=Kingship position; Country level
Teacher=School Teacher position
Parents=Family
- The mission of the tribal messiah is our inevitable
mission-our destiny. Messiahship is not something we can give up
or leave half-done, it is something that we have to accomplish.
Jesus came as a Messiah and if he didn't completely succeed he
has to try again until he succeeds. So where is Jesus now? He is
in Paradise, waiting to attain heaven. So once we undertake the
tribal messiah mission we cannot quit as we wish; there is no
quitting.
- The Tradition of God and True Parents.
- To live for the sake of others
- Invest and invest again and forget the fact that you invested,
just like God and just like our Parents. Forget that you
invested, don't remember it. Get it?
- Pray for perfection and dedicate a lot of heart for the sake
of perfection.
These three points are self-explanatory. These are Father's,
Parents', God's tradition.
- Steps of Recreation.
- Creation of the Environment
What did God create first in the beginning of the world? The
environment. So we first have to create the environment because
we are the Messiah himself-the representative of God. The Messiah
represents God's creative power. So it is a formula. First we
have to create the environment.
- Subject and Object
When there is an environment, there is subject and object,
otherwise there won't be any environment. The environment always
has subject and objects. Even the mineral kingdom has plus and
minus parts and the vegetable kingdom has stamen and pistil (same
thing), and insect kingdom and man have male and female beings.
Why do they exist in subject and object form? For the purpose of
love, which is the whole purpose of God's creation, period-love!
If you want find something mystical, the very fact that
everything comes in these two beings, male and female, it's the
most fantastic, it's mystical! How anybody could do that is
mystifying. Centering on what? When you understand love, it's not
mystifying at all. Your faces are telling me, what is so
mystifying about it? But think about it-Love! Then it is a
mystery!
All of us have really suffered wanting to know what is our
purpose in life. Everyone said, what is man's purpose? No one
ever said, "What is man's purpose and what is woman's purpose?"
Father is the great discoverer of that. Father said, "Not just
man but man and woman." Why did man and woman come into
existence? Because God had love in mind, that is why mankind came
into existence. So man and woman become one centering on love.
More specifically, physically, centering on what? The sexual
organs. True? These are love's essential organs. There the
unification between man and woman becomes realized. There is
nothing obscene about it. It is not the mouth-to-mouth kiss that
is the ultimate purpose of man and woman, nor to have a strong
handshake. No one can oppose and say "I was not born for the sake
of love." No one can say that. They say, "Yes, I am."
So before man and woman came into being, the concept of love
was already there. After that concept was established then God
made man and woman; that is the reality. This is a very serious
point. It's serious enough to divide the whole philosophical
world into two opposing camps. So no one can deny, even though
you are an ardent student, that man was born for the sake of love
and woman was born for the sake of love. Why, then, do we have to
marry? We get married so that we can become one centering on
love. So becoming one is rather conceptual. Actually, becoming
one through sexual organs, that kind of oneness, that is the real
original palace of love, not only of love but of life and lineage
too. So it is the most important area, the most valuable place in
the human's life; no place is more valuable than that. The fall
was the destruction of this great palace of these three things.
What does the fall mean? It destroyed the three greatest palaces.
This should have been established centering on God, but the fall
established it centering on Satan. That is the difference.
When God created woman did He create her with just woman in mind,
independent from man or anything else, just a woman? Before God
started creating woman, He already had a clear idea what man was
like. Then he started creating woman. So, what is the purpose of
woman's life? Woman's purpose in life is never for her own sake,
as many people may think now. Woman was created for the sake of
man. The starting point is that woman was created for man. So
"me" has no place in God's creation; "woman" has
nothing to do
with woman, but woman everything to do with man, and vice versa,
"man" has nothing to do with man. So in God's wisdom He didn't
give man's most precious thing to man. In other words, God gave
it to woman: "You hold it for him." So the sexual organ that
women have, does it belong to her, or is the original owner of
that part someone else? Who? Her husband, right? And the sexual
part that her husband has, who is the real owner? The husband?
NO! That is the wife's, the woman's. So this is a very great
point here. You are holding something very valuable for someone
else. But you thought all this time that it was yours, so you
misused it in many ways. That very satanic attitude came about,
"Oh, this is mine, I can use it in any way I please." That
is a
very satanic tradition, whereas the Godly tradition is the other
way around: "That is not mine, even though it belongs to me, it
is not mine."
Why is there no peace today? Because everybody thinks that he
exists for himself. If he knew that he exists for the sake of
others he would never fight, and if man and woman, only knew that
they came into being for the sake of love they would never fight.
So whatever you have, centering on love, it is not yours, it is
simply not yours. Centering on love, I am not the master of
myself; my master is somewhere else: my husband or my wife. Isn't
that true? What a striking concept this is. There is nothing over
which either man or woman can claim, "It is mine." Nothing,
not
even my little finger. Not anything. It belongs to love.
Centering on love, everything you have belongs to your spouse.
Women came into being for the sake of who? Man. And man's love
didn't come into existence for the man. Man's love partner is
woman. Can you say "My love partner is me"? Nothing belongs
to
man. So how can you make a mistake and look at a woman other than
your wife, and go wrong with her? You cannot; even if they pay
you millions of dollars you can't. Your organ is not yours; it is
your partner's! True? If you misuse it you are like a thief. If
you have someone else's bankbook and you spend their money, you
are a thief. Taking another love owner's place and using it as if
you were his wife, that is robbery. Don't do it! The precious
part that the man has, the wife has to ask for it or you should
never expose it, because it is too precious. You are not going to
use it in any other way because it is simply not yours.
- Corresponding relationships
Find material through which you can recreate (fundraise). Restore
from the satanic world. You must add your blood, sweat and tears
to it and offer it to heaven. Through this you can go up and
inherit the elder son's position. You must win approval from
Satan.
Father, too, just like God, invests so much but then forgets; he
doesn't remember. If he remembers, Father says, he cannot
continue. So he forgets, does it again, forgets, does it again,
and it becomes bigger not on the same proportion but on a larger
proportion. A lot of Korean people and the Korean government
cannot figure Father out. Father makes so much money and puts
everything into America and what does he get? They think,
nothing. Is that so? Something is brewing, and that is, of
course, what people don't understand immediately.
If you really had a genuine friend, and that genuine friend gave
you a present of love valued at $100, you know that it cost $100.
Then toward that genuine friend and genuine present of love do
you say, next time I will give him an $80 present? Not even a bad
man would think like that. You would want to return to him $150,
because you know his true intention. Because you know his true
intention you want to pay back more, not less. Even though man
fell, man is born with a godly essence; even fallen man has that
kind of good God's quality. So we who live on earth, we don't
want to drain someone's resources and then go to spirit world. We
want to give more than we receive and when we do that and go to
spirit world then we receive that much more than we gave.
So we should have the habit to, invest-forget, invest-forget
continually investing. We live for the sake of doing that. Among
your friends, the one who always tries to do something for
others, he become popular, doesn't he? He becomes the center of
that group. That's Father's tradition, that's God's tradition.
Why do you become the center? Because God is like that. Because
you resemble God and God is the natural center, you are also
natural center. So this is a formula: the more you do for the
sake of others the more you will come to receive in the future.
So that is the tradition of our Parents, and of God.
Look at Unification Church members for example. If there was this
kind of person we would have a great list now today. "Oh I joined
Unification Church, I dedicated all my junior effort and youth,
ten years, fifteen years into the cause. What do I get? I'm so
short-changed. I am not going to do anything more." Does this
resemble God? Apparently not. If you genuinely invested yourself,
then the universe would have come around and filled you up
already, like air. If there is a vacuum, a low-pressure area,
then the high pressure will gush in and a storm will form. The
vacuum power is greater than the pushing power. Do you
understand? So if that is not happening to you then maybe you
didn't work so hard during all those years. The inexhaustible,
unlimited, power of life should come in when you invest and
invest and forget.
- Connecting with True Love
Then we come to eternal life-the life that never stops, never
ends, because it becomes greater. Our life, through true love,
will continue and prosper more and more, eternally. It is easy to
say eternal life, but where does it come from? There is nowhere
it can come from except from in here. We don't have to think like
that all the time, it is already on an unconscious level. Men,
women all go after true love. Why? Because they gain something.
That gain is eternal life. How grateful we are because it is the
spouse, our partner, who helps me to gain eternal life. Without
her, without him we cannot reach eternal life. Why should we get
married? What's wrong with celibacy? It is wrong. True love has
to be eternal. To be eternal you have to get married. Why do you
get married? You have to have a specific purpose. For the sake of
connecting to eternal life we marry. When you do that you become
to eternal subject, who is God. Then you become eternal object to
that eternal subject, God. And you become one with Him. That is
the full purpose of marrying. By marrying and having an eternal
life you occupy God, you pull God in, God cannot help but come to
you.
True love always has ownership, so God occupies us through true
love. So if you and your husband, you and your wife have true
love, God immediately comes and claims ownership. Wife and
husband each are half, combined making one, true love sphere.
Completing that centering on true love, then automatically the
Original Center comes, making a partnership on the opposite side.
Opposite side, connecting there, making that connection to
subject-object, connected centering on love make ideal couple
connected with one, centering on true love. Centering on True
Love, making unification and centering on True Love you can
inherit everything. Participation everywhere, same place. God is
mine, including God's property, everything is mine. That means
whole universe, centering on true love, unites with God and the
whole created world is my property. Do you understand? That is
ownership. You want ownership at a high level, don't you? You are
greedy. Why? Originally we had that kind of position. After the
fall it was a miserable situation. In your original mind is like
an electrical power, indicating north and south, moving that
original fork. Your original mind has that characteristic,
walking in that same direction, no matter how much your present
fallen situation resists that. Your original mind is working to
go back to that original point. That is my mind-working power. Do
you understand?
So your mind clearly understands the high level it wants to
reach. "I want all of the creation. Even the high level of God,
I
want to occupy fully." Greedy, aren't you? Same thing. Everyone
wants to become a King. Everyone wants to be a high professor.
Everyone wants to become the True Love Parents. These are the
three main subject thoughts. Who is the main subject being of
these three goals, or thoughts? God. God is the owner of all the
created world; God is the great teacher, knowledge king; God is
the True Love King. God is that kind of three owners. That is the
subject one; we become the object ones. Object means the same
level partner. So the mind that wants ownership is like God, also
high teacher and high parents. Connecting into one. We have to
have that kind of greed to lead us to that high level.
Everyone's' greed can make the completion of the original purpose
of creation of humankind. Do you understand?
After the fall we had a miserable situation-we lost
everything-but your original mind understood that kind of
direction. Why? Because Adam and Eve grew up almost sixteen
years. Their mind grew up going in the correct direction,
constantly moving forward to the terminal point. They were
ambitious. Do you understand? Humankind's ambition to obtain
these goals is an original natural characteristic. Do you follow
me, do you understand?
Father wants that, no matter how difficult the situation. Do you
know that I was creating the Washington Times during the court
case? It was on tape that the American government wanted to kill
me. They were my enemy-I understood that. But God until now, has
been forgiving and loving His enemies, investing and forgetting
that He invested in His enemies. I followed God's attitude-I
forgave everything. Do you know how much the Washington Times
spent? 830 million. How much money! Only one, The Washington
Times , spent that much money. How much money was spent for all
American activities? But Reverend Moon didn't take a loss. Why? I
gave everything, centered on true love. So it expands everyday.
So that I could affect the depth of American thinking, filling it
full of true love water. Completely full, occupying everything.
You know that Inquisition book has appeared all over America.
After people read that, they can change completely, 180 degrees.
Until now the worst guy is Reverend Moon. "Reverend go back
home." But now they understand, and say Reverend Moon don't go
back home. If you go back home America has no hope. Now this
miserable situation in America; who can save her? The American
government, economic power, knowledge power, cannot save her. She
is perishing. No hope. But, Reverend Moon leading her can
resurrect another hopeful world. Do you know what I mean? I gave
everything and then forgot, through true love. By doing so I
didn't perish. I was making that atmosphere, and then went up and
up more and more. Until now, when Reverend Moon appeared
somewhere, the media world said, "UHHHHGG!" Isn't that true!
Not taking me as a serious person. Now there is a welcoming
atmosphere all over the country. So you have to follow behind God
and True Parents. Don't take the road that leads to death, only
prosperity. That kind of attitude will only bring you prosperity;
you will not perish. Believe in Father and invest.
You have to know that recreation course and atmosphere. You have
to make that recreation atmosphere. You have to make resources,
that is fundraising work, going out and receiving persecution,
meeting Satan on the frontline. They took our original front line
power; they took the elder son's position, we were standing there
in the youngest son's position. The youngest son cannot inherit
ownership. Isn't that true? So then, we have to restore that
ownership. Ownership refers that Cain and Abel concept. What is
the Cain/Abel concept? That is subject-object. The vertical
subject-object concept is that the parents are subject, and the
children are object. The horizontal concept is husband and wife.
Front and rear concept is brotherhood. That together is what we
call Cain/Abel concept. At first Satan occupied that first son's
position, so we stood in the youngest child position. We have to
restore the original elders' position, that is mankind's original
ideal of creation position. That was lost, we have to rediscover,
go back. That is clearly the restoration purpose. You cannot deny
that. So think about the recreation course formula way: how can
we make the restored atmosphere? God first made the environment,
that sets up that subject-object concept. This concept is the
Cain and Abel concept.
So, if you count that as a chapter, Father has already
given you a whole book about what to do when returning to
Canaan-how to restore your hometown when you go back.
- The Foundation of Victory and the Foundation of Cain and Abel.
That means that unless subject and object become one the realm of
victory doesn't come to exist.
- The Children's Foundation
- The Family Foundation
Unless the family, centered on husband and wife, has good
give and take the family foundation does not exist. A victorious
family foundation becomes the Cain and Abel foundation. The
foundation of victory only comes from the foundation of Cain and
Abel. In other words, unless there is a good relationship between
Cain and Abel, perfection does not result.
So realize that wherever you happen to work, you are not working
there to receive the living expense. No. Let's say your value is
$1,000, and you invest it in something and get only $50 or $500
back. Why would you do such a foolish thing? Then why do you work
in a company? If you work in a company you must work as if you
are the eternal partner of that company. Then nobody can take you
away from it. So you work with the company. If you honestly put
your genuine effort in there you will occupy the full thing, not
in a negative way but in a positive way. You will be the center.
If somebody tries to eliminate you, no, he will be eliminated.
You don't evaluate your spouse as a condition to do something,
no, you unconditionally receive him or her. Likewise in a company
where you are working, you are part of it, you're the partner, no
one can erase you out of there. You are not working for money.
Like Father, too, he goes day and night and invests and forgets
and invests again, whether it returns or not. No one else can
come to the same ground and try to occupy that. It simply will
not work. Someone can say, "Oh, I can do as well as Reverend
Moon, maybe I can do better, so that's mine." No. It's never
possible. Because Father is subject and invested everything in
the object, no stranger can come in and intervene in that
subject-object relationship.
Dr. Weinberg is such a razorsharp critical person and he will
never easily respond to anybody's good will, even Father's. So he
said in his confession that he watched and watched Father and the
Unification Church and now he is very proud to say that there is
no discrepancy between what the Unification Church claims it is
and what it truly is. Everything that the Unification Church did
was genuine, he said. Perhaps he watched how much Father invested
in it and how much Father remembered, and maybe it passed his
criteria, his test. He observed that Father invested and invested
and has no trace of remembering it, and it moved Weinberg and he
proclaimed "This is genuine; in seventeen years I found this out
and now proclaim it." He was jubilant when he said that. Of
course, even God is moved by Father. The fact that Weinberg is
moved is really not that great. God follows Reverend Moon, how
can Weinberg fail to recognize that, and not follow?
Father likes to boast and be proud too. If Father really
expressed his pride in all the things that he has done, he could
do it so much that maybe you would all run away. Father is
treating you like Father's bosom friends, eternal friends, and
Father shares with you all the essential things. If Father knew
that you were not worthy of it, how miserable Father would be.
But Father trusts you as bosom friends and shows you these
things, knowing that one day you will live up to your standard.
This is the way Father feels. Father's grandson and
granddaughter, how loveable are they? So Father embraces them.
But can Father speak anything to them? He cannot, they are only
two or three years old. Maybe you are a little better than that?
At least you understand what Father is talking about, at least
you seem to understand. You respond! So you are better than
Father's three-year-old granddaughter and grandson. Maybe that is
why Father is doing this. So Father misses you. Father means
that. When you have to go away, Father wishes you would stay a
few minutes longer before you go. Maybe you feel that heart, so
you feel the same thing toward Father. You don't want to leave
Father immediately, you want to stay with Father even a few more
minutes. Knowing we are unworthy, we still want to do that, and
that is the give and take of love.
- The Foundation of Tribe
- The Foundation of the Nation (Adam and Eve and Jesus'
Foundation)
If Adam and Eve hadn't fallen, God's country would automatically
have come to exist. But since this didn't happen, we are about to
restore it, and we have to do these things before we can restore
it. If that foundation had been done in Jesus' time, Rome would
have been absorbed and digested for the heavenly foundation.
- The Foundation of the True Parents
- The National Foundation.
Jesus was to fulfill the national foundation-we are now restoring
Jesus' work-but Father's work is much more extensive than that.
Father first has to make a national foundation, then make a world
foundation, and then a cosmic foundation, and then he returns to
God. Then, from the children's to the parental foundation,
everything will have been accomplished. What is remaining now,
which is absolutely the last step, is the Unification Federation
for World Peace.
Unification federation means country-to-country. It means
neighboring countries being on good terms, friendly countries.
The whole world will be moving into the realm of salvation. We
won't have to do tribal messiahship or anything like that. Whole
countries will return to their original positions.
Tribal messiahship is necessary to establish the national
foundation. That is what we are doing now. The Unification
Federation will be a vertical relationship. That will be really
the end of Father's work. After that all Father has to do is
enjoy and sleep. Centering on true love we can make the
Federation for World Peace. That is the end, our terminal point.
Isn't it? Then what will we see? The satanic world completely
vanishing and only the heavenly world reigning forever and ever.
This is the end of Father's notes.
What if a lot of the Egyptian people had followed the Israelites?
Then the Israelites and the Canaanites would have established a
subject-object relationship-an ideal situation. They would have
realized a unified world right there. Subject and object
relationship is the key-making subject and object into one and
spreading that relationship all over the world. At that time they
could have made a unified world. Do you understand? No fighting
there. Egypt itself would have become the God-centered country.
Compare this to the America situation. Reverend Moon and the
Unification Church are subject to the American nation. The
American government and the established churches have a reversed
relationship. Making into one here could build up into the
accomplishment stage.
America doesn't welcome me, so I go back to Korea. I will work to
unify North and South Korea. I have been working on this for 13
years. Kim Il Sung wants to meet me. I always made conditions for
North Korea, to unify the Korean peninsula centering on Father's
work. Do you understand? Now they can take only one direction.
Now the United Nations is admitting both North and South Korea.
That means they are making the national foundation, on the same
level as the entire Free World. Taking their visa, they can
travel back and forth, no problem. Do you understand? The North
and South Koreans were separated at the time of the Korean War.
How can they stay separated? Even the American situation, the
Western world or whatever country, if they hear about parents and
children being separated, they immediately give residency to
unite them. Same thing, both sides, automatically uniting
relatives. How can anyone stop that? Making expansion of that
relation to the national level. Automatically they are combined
into one. North Korea understood that. All will be combined with
Reverend Moon into one.
Reverend Moon has a worldwide foundation, all over the free
world, and in South Korea too. Connect with Reverend Moon into
one. South Korea has the same situation. How can they be unified
with North Korea? North Korea's armament, their ideology, is
communist; how can South Korea digest it? South Korea does not
have that kind of knowledge; only Reverend Moon has it. Centering
on Reverend Moon both sides can connect and digest each other, no
problem. South Korea represents Christian world ideas, we have
Divine Principle. North Korea is connecting to the communist
regime. We have realized victory over communism, too. Both sides
Father digested; centering on Father they will move 180 degrees
different direction, no problem. They will be silent. Do you
understand? They will say, "We want to follow you." That
phenomenon will occur, based upon those conditions which Father
made. Father's direction goes back to God's way. No one knows
that direction, only Reverend Moon and the Unification Church.
That is clear.
No-one know how to make a unification federation for world peace.
In God is the power to be the king of knowledge, of sovereignty,
of prosperity, of everything. That day is not far away from us,
we can see that. It is within my vision. Do you know that? Now
can you solve these things? I gave the contents, the
explanations. Father just gave us the contents for reaching this
goal, reaching our original world. Father would not mind to share
more with you, but no more now.
So, God established the restoration of the elder sonship on the
individual level when the Israelites came into being. They were
standing on the right side and the satanic world was then pushed
to the lefthand side. Here is the very origin of rightwing and
leftwing. God has no place to settle down on this earth, He has
to move to and fro. The head is who? That is the perfected Adam.
The perfection of Adam is the perfection of a nation. It is not
an individual; Adam is not an individual, he is already a nation.
So expanding, it will become nation automatically, it's not two
different things. So centering on the Israelites God promised to
send the Messiah. Who is the Messiah? He is the head, the
perfected Adam.
So the Messiah came on this foundation. Here are the Israelites,
the Jewish religion and country, and here are all the peripheral
religions, and here is where the head, the Messiah, came. So if
Jesus, who stood in that position, had been voted in, he could
have unified the twelve tribes immediately with no problem. Then
with that, he could have made the subject-object relationship
with all the Oriental nations and with the later-to-become Muslim
nations. If the Israelites and the Christian church combined into
one at that time, immediately Moses' twelve tribes could have
come to the Islamic world-the Middle East side. Do you
understand? At that time the Jewish center, the twelve tribes
would have been in the subject position. Automatically they
wanted to meet the Messiah, unite into one immediately. The
subject's area would have enlarged. At that time the Oriental
world, the religious and cultural world of Hinduism, Buddhism and
Confucianism automatically would have been object to Jesus in the
subject and center position. Subject and object would have
combined, no problem, immediately. That then would be subject,
and with Rome as object, being immediately digested, a unified
world would have been no problem-a federation for world peace at
Jesus' time. Within his lifetime, achieving that purpose would
have occurred. Jesus on the national base of subject and object,
Jewish and original Christianity combined, then that center would
have opened. It is like the head, the nation means the head.
Mind-side is right side; body-side is left side. Standing left,
king position is head position.
But the Israelites and Jewish religion combined with Rome and cut
Jesus' neck. At that time there were the right thief and left
thief named Barabbas. Three thieves at that time! Who is the
thief who was spared at Jesus' time? Barabbas. Only Barabbas. At
that time the thief on the right, protected Jesus, thief on the
left attacked Jesus. The two fought. At that time the right thief
and left thief died at the same time. If Jesus was not killed,
automatically those thieves would have combined into one. Those
two combined with Jesus as subject, would have digested the left
thief with no problem. In his lifetime, the false world could
have been digested. At that time, Barabbas could have turned
around 180 degrees.
That means Jesus' mission would have been completed. Combining
all the Middle Eastern world, and combined with that, the Eastern
and Western world in the unification federation of world peace
centering on God's love. At that time Jesus was killed when those
two thieves died. Died means Satan connected to those positions,
making a world-level foundation. After Jesus was killed Satan
expanded his world foundation.. The resurrection of those
positions is at the Second Advent, the Last Days. The left side
and right sides have expanded, continuing to fight. The communist
world was the devil's world. That means at Jesus's death, the
realms of right and left expanded to the world level. The United
States was centering on the right, the communist world centering
on the left. Exactly the same as at Jesus' time. At this time, we
are resurrecting that world foundation. At the time of the second
advent Jesus again appears as the center, and then the free world
can combine into one and communist world combine into one and
Muslim world combine into one. That is the mission of the Second
Advent. Do you understand?
The Unification Church, centering on Reverend Moon, came to
America to connect that victorious foundation with the American
government, the presidential level. The Christian world didn't
take the subject position. Instead, the Unification Church
inherited the Christian world, combining with it into one. Father
is standing upon that combined subject-object foundation. Reagan
became the president in 1980 through me. Think about it. Five
years after the Vietnam War, a conservative, moral, rightwing
Reagan could become the President of the United States. Who made
that? Reverend Moon. During my time in Danbury jail, in 1984, I
helped Reagan too. He was my enemy. Bush, too. I chose those
great American leaders, centering on the Unification Church as
subject, with the American government as object-connected into
one. The Washington Times helped America overcome the communist
world. The Washington Times completely serving the nation,
eliminating the Soviet curse. That means that, centering on
Father, the rightwing united into one and digested the leftwing.
That is the resurrected Jesus' world foundation. Occupying those
two thieves completely, and Barabbas' position. Islam is like
Barabbas' position, that third one. God's religious side doesn't
have that kind of concept. On Satan's side, the communist world
represents the body and the Muslim world is the mind. Syria
represented the center of Soviet terrorism. How can God digest
that kind of situation? I chose the Syrian Grand Mufti, and
brought him and his followers here for forty days education,
digesting them here in America. After that they are completely
following me. Three Muslim nations fulfilled this course, which
is now finished. Reverend Moon combined with those three, turning
them around completely 180 degrees. Now occupying them, with no
accusation, no persecution. Making one direction.
The time is coming when the mind and body, which were separated
after the fall, will be united into one. Who made that? Adam, the
worst parents, separated into two parts. The True Parents are
combining the religious (mind) and political (body) worlds into
one. Everything is being turned around, and the free world,
communist world, religious world and political world cannot come
against me. The whole world is following that. Automatically this
makes a peaceful world, one terminal point.
How can all those directions be unified? The scientific world,
political world, secular world and religious world combine
centering on Father. This is everything. Why is Reverend Moon the
Second Coming of Christ? Because the communistic world, free
world and secular world, Muslim world, religious world and
political world are all being digested. That is the messianic
mission at the Second Advent. Do you understand? This is true,
you cannot deny it.
That is the terminal political point, historical point, ideal
world peace point, with everything toward one goal, making
unification. That is all there is, all is finished. I established
every areas' conditions. Not only conditions, almost reality! It
is more than seventy percent accomplished.
So, you have to clearly understand Father's mission, how he could
make that completion level. You have to know that, to understand
how to inherit Father's foundation. How can you expand your
national foundation to cover the free world? This is the
Unification Church's mission. Do you follow me? No matter how
difficult your situation, you have to push over, going on to the
hopeful future. That is it.
Now we understand what the Lord of the Second Coming is, what the
Messiah is. He is coming with Godism and Headwing Thought, Godism
is vertically connected to the spiritual world. From Godism to
Headwing Thought, he accomplished everything. So the one who
understands this much, already understands that first are
Headwing and Godism, and number three is Reverend Moon-there is
no one else that can be connected right here. And the Unification
Church. They all know what we stand for. Is it as clear to you as
it is to all the world leaders? This is the right way of
interpreting history. For the first time, Father explained it
exactly, how history is proceeding and why. Also Father is
completely right about the law of restoration by indemnity. This
is a law which Father introduced.
So, the conclusion for us, now, is that we must return to our
native land, our hometown, and create the subject-object
relationship ourselves we must establish the subject/object
relationship. You being subject establish the realm of object.
Have you ever thought before this moment that you have to
establish the subject-object relationship in creating an
environment? You first have to realize your own environment, and
you have to teach the Divine Principle with words, to recreate
people. So the Divine Principle should be your main armament for
you to educate people.
Without knowing Divine Principle, they will eternally remain
ignorant of the godly way. Now that Father entrusted you as the
subject and object in the Cain and Abel principle, he can leave
you anywhere. If Father goes to Russia and asks for a room, he
trusts that they will give him one of the best rooms in the
Kremlin palace. We are in that mission. We are Abel. Gorbachev
will say, "Yes, of course." But can Bush say "Yes"
with equal
confidence? Well, if they can't, they are the losers. The Soviets
will be the winners. Now Father is trying to evade that mishap.
He is trying even now, trying even harder, to bring Bush and
Gorbachev into the right relationship. But it is not so easy.
Now, you all have been to Russia, have you not? Please raise your
hands-many. What did you feel there? What are the possibilities
there? Which youth will be easier to educate-the Soviet youth or
the American youth? (Soviets) What an irony-they are much more
qualified here, but they are not going to be of any value.
No matter what any leader's personal opinion is, no one can take
Unification Thought out of their minds-it is already implanted.
Gorbachev thought the KGB were difficult to deal with, so please
educate them. Father is still thinking about that. And Gorbachev
said, we have no one to trust in the Western world-how
true-Gorbachov saw it right. And he asked Father to find some men
in lieu of Western people and educate them. And the CIA says,
"What are you doing?" But that is what Gorbachev wants, and
he
needs it too. He needs good, patriotic people.
So, what is your guess? Do you think Father is smart or not too
smart? (Smart!) Smarter than we? (Yes) A few dimensions ahead of
today, that is for sure. Father is several steps ahead of you,
maybe that is why you don't understand.
But, have you ever really believed in Father? You did not
understand what Father was up to. You thought he had Oriental
concepts, different from American people. And you thought that
Americans were somehow smarter than Father, even though you
wouldn't say it. But now, anyway you slice it, Father's thinking
is far more substantial than anything you ever think.
So, Father invested here, there and everywhere, and you didn't
know. Your head was spinning and you didn't know what Father was
up to. Now, when Father put together the pieces like a jigsaw
puzzle, it fits and you begin to see the picture. Now you start
nodding more approvingly. Father is a wonderful leader-we didn't
know that.
So, we thank Father and wish Father the final success, and we
should go to hometown and become tribal messiahs. Do you
understand what Father is saying? If the Israelites had not gone
into Canaan when God told them to do that through Moses, if they
had stayed in the comfort of Egypt, they would have been eternal
slaves, servants. Now, Father, as the subject of a victorious
foundation, is allowing us to be in the realm of object, and the
object will completely obey to the subject, becoming one no
matter what, and go ahead and carry out Father's direction. We
will be owners ourselves. Otherwise, we will be slaves, like the
Israelites would have been if they had remained in Egypt,
servants.
You don't have to worry about the country so much. Do it, and the
country will come to exist-God will bring us the country. And the
nation and world will follow, the cosmos will follow, no problem.
We can win over hell, too, and Satan too.
So Father accomplished it and made a special ceremony to that
effect, the first of July. What if Father, for today's
celebration of five birthdays, had that broadcast on television,
and four or five billion people could view it worldwide.
"Reverend Moon is so famous worldwide. It is his children's
birthday today." All over the world, people would want to
participate in those birthdays! Many countries are becoming like
that. One time, two times, stir up the world. We can do, no
problem. I made that television studio center-big. That company
can connect to every country's television stations, no problem.
Many companies are moving into our studio complex. Father
literally became a media center.
So, we made Father work all morning. How can we express our
appreciation? Now, Father will go to Alaska, and will continue to
study to make up all the deficits we are making now. He has to
pay extra effort to make this happen.
So, Father reduced this church hierarchy to a minimum. Father
told Mr. Kamiyama and all the old 777 couples to go back to Japan
and start anew. Only the relatively new Japanese members will
remain in America. You see, the times are changing. In Korea, for
instance, there is only one person at HSA, and everyone else went
to their hometowns. We must stay abreast-what about America,
should we do the same?
We didn't come around Father to get a job and a living expense.
We came here to be educated and to create a new country, a new
nation-and we are the soldiers of independence forces. We are not
dependent forces, but independent forces. You must inherit the
American Founding Fathers' spirit-you will be the founding
fathers, the pioneers of this country-one nation under God, and
we'll make one world under God. You are the harbingers, the
pioneers. We know the sacrifices of the Pilgrim Fathers, and
should we sacrifice more or less than they, knowing everything we
know today? Decide in your mind, make up your mind. But you are
not desperate-your door is open ahead of you-a big road, instead
of a small road. All you have to do is have absolute confidence.
The Pilgrim Fathers just believed, hoped. You can do much better
because you know-how can you not do so much better than they? You
walked the way knowing where you were going. Is that true? You
know well.
