Translator - Peter Kim
You have just watched a videotape showing the incredible national
commitment of North Korean soldiers and the North Korean people. These
people are committed to a fallen world ideology. When we turn around
180 degrees, we have to go beyond them, we have to do even better than
they. That is our responsibility and duty and the purpose of our
dispensation.
Father says there is another tape which shows various groups of
people marching on and on. Repetition is important. In order to become
an expert in any field, you have to keep repeating what you are doing.
Even in the scientific field, you have to repeat experiments again and
again. If we want to become an expert in our world, we have to do that.
The American way of education nowadays is to stay away from repetition.
Of course, we have to follow the trends of modern times and be willing
to change our attitudes and ways of doing things, but if you keep
changing and changing, where will you head for? Eventually, you have to
come back to the original point.
When you look at history, you can see that the undeveloped countries
follow in the footsteps of the advanced countries. Where will these
undeveloped countries wind up? Since they are going in a false
direction, eventually they will have to come back to their original
starting point.
Humankind began with love, which was from God. Somehow, the portrait
and color of love has been stained. Now love is a dirty word because of
the Fall of Man. This is a fallen world. This fallen world started with
false love and this fallen world will perish with false love.
Look at the reality of Kim Il Sung in North Korea. He has only 20
million people but he is now unsettling and manipulating the 250
million people of America. The North Koreans think that one North
Korean soldier can contend with 20 or 30 American soldiers. That is
their condition. This is the reality. North Korea is not an Iraq.
South Korea is preparing to cope with the North Korean military force,
but we have to go beyond that. The North Koreans do not know God. There
is one ideology in the world which is centered on God and which has
spread all over the world-not just a theology, an ideology-and that is
Unificationism.
Right now we have an international youth seminar taking place in
Russia centering on six nations. We call it two plus four-South Korea
and North Korea make two, plus the four superpowers of America, Japan,
Russia, and China. These young college students are gathered there to
find a solution to world peace. However, no one could have gathered and
given them one focal point. No nation or organization has been able to
do that, but Reverend Moon has done it. The South Korean government has
never allowed any students to be in direct contact with North Korean
students for fear of the consequences. They did not believe that
American or Chinese or Japanese power could organize both sides, but
they believe that Reverend Moon can, so the South Korean government
gave their permission for some South Korean students to attend.
Another interesting fact is that even Kim Il Sung, who strongly
believes that all of his 20 million people are ideologically equipped
with his juje ideology, is afraid of Reverend Moon's ideology. He
hesitated to send his students to Reverend Moon's conference. Kim Il
Sung knows clearly that Father is the one who eliminated the Japanese
socialist or communist movement in the '60s and '70s and early '80s. He
knows that Reverend Moon brought about the demise of communism through
Gorbachev and that Father has influenced the ideology of young Chinese
students, and that South Korean communist students are being influenced
by Unificationism. Kim Il Sung knows Father's power. However, when Kim
Il Sung looked at the general situation surrounding the Korean
peninsula, he saw that if the four major countries of that area sent
their representatives and he did not, he would look as if he lacked
courage. Although he is hesitant, he will send the students.
As you know, Korean university students up until now have been
deeply influenced by the juje ideology, and many became radicals. They
are known as "pinkish communists"-they do not know the
reality of communism, but they are sympathetic to its ideals. Now for
the first time, even though they have been the enemy of the CARP
movement in the past throughout the Korean campuses, some have joined
our CARP movement and have gone through Divine Principle workshops and
have prayed and now accept the existence of God. They were totally
struck by how history has developed, how God has been progressing human
history. Now over twenty radical, trouble-making students have come
over to our side, and they are in Moscow with our CARP members.
This particular conference in Russia was sponsored by the Ministry
of Education, Moscow University, and the foreign academy which produces
all the diplomats. The Korean embassy in Moscow was opposed to this
conference, but they found out that the entire nation was sponsoring
it, so they went along. The Korean ambassador who opposed the
conference may lose his job.
Why is Father telling you this? Father wants you to know where we
are going and where we stand right now, because the second generation
is responsible to educate these communists. We have to clean up the
mess left by communism. The free world also needs to be cleaned up of
its immorality. We have to be the ones to clean it up.
Communism has been spreading in and dominating the undeveloped,
Third World countries because communists have a world ideology based on
economic theory. It seemed logical to them; it was not merely random.
Of course, the free world has been striving to build democracy on the
worldwide level, but the free world itself is rotting and is reaching
the end of its rope. Who is going to revive it? The free world does
not know that Satan has been using our flesh, our bodies, to destroy
the entire world. The free world is falling into hell. That's why we
have all these problems of homosexuality, lesbianism, AIDS, free
sex-all the social problems.
Originally, if there hadn't been a Fall of Man, human beings could
have experienced a more fantastic and exotic world centering on pure
and true love. Instead they take marijuana and LSD, or any kind of drug
to fulfill their desire for fantasy. That's how Satan took the people
away. There seems to be no way for them to come back. Who can make them
come back? You, the second generation, must realize this fact. Even
though you live in America, don't follow America's ways, because
America is at the end of the road. If you take one more step, you will
fall over the edge. You have to turn around.
That is the general situation in America. We have to turn around 180
degrees. This is the road Unification Church members will follow. Only
after people reach the end of the road and realize that they have no
where else to go, do they look for the root, realizing that the
beginning was wrong? There is a movement spreading all over the world
called finding the root-the real root. Because we did not have the
original, genuine, real root to begin with, the direction is wrong. If
we find this real, original root, we can correct the direction.
As you watch this tape, you see many disciplined people and all
kinds of the things they are doing here in order to protect 20 million
people in North Korea, but when it comes to our responsibility, we are
not talking about 20 million people. We are talking about the five
billion people of the world. We have to do more than they are doing. We
have to take responsibility not just for our present world, but for all
the people who lived in the past and all the dozens of billions who
will live in the future. Therefore, we have to be more disciplined and
trained than the North Korean people, and also we have to give more
than those Christian martyrs and saints and heroes who sacrificed
everything throughout Christian history, in Rome and other places of
persecution. We have to be more than that. We have a mountain to climb.
Therefore, we come to the conclusion that we have to have even stronger
conviction than the North Korean soldiers and people in order to bring
the victory to God, True Parents, and our dispensation. Do you
understand? (Yes.)
When Father was young, around your age, Father had a much greater
dream than you have right now. Father realized at around your age that
the world was not the correct one. Father saw that all the people, all
the leaders in the world were corrupt and were just really selfish
people and that the world was not in the right shape. Father determined
that he would go through any kind of difficulty, go any kind of
sacrificial, suffering way in order to save this world. That has been
his determination. That is where Father's endeavors came from, his
endeavors to establish the Little Angels Performing Arts team and the
Universal Ballet team and the Kirov Ballet team. By the way, we have
inherited the name, fame, and skill of the most famous ballet team in
the world. We now have a Kirov Ballet Academy in Washington, D.C. It is
because Father realized that success in life requires repetition in
certain areas.
Even when you look at the physical world, you see repetition. Let's
look at our life in general. A 24-hour cycle is being repeated each
day, 365 days a year. As soon as this cycle stops or is interfered
with, the entire world will be destroyed. Centering on our heart, all
the blood is circulated by the veins throughout the body by repetition
of the heartbeat. When it comes to a skill like calligraphy, if you
practiced making a letter "A" one time or one thousand
times-which amount of practice would give you the greater ability to
write an "A"? Obviously, it would be the one thousand times
of practice. This is the most difficult part for Americans in
general-to be trained by repetition.
Up until now, people have not been dealing with truth, so they were
loath to repeat it, but now we are talking about the real truth. People
should not mind repeating and repeating it. What about breathing? If
you did not repeat breathing, what would happen? What about blinking?
Could you stop blinking for one day? Could you stop walking? Walking is
repetitive. We must know that. It is like a circulator. By doing this
kind of circulation, you will grow and prosper, but if you do not do
that, you will become smaller and smaller and finally disappear. If you
draw a line and keep repeating it, that means you are prospering,
progressing, but if you do not do that, you will diminish. Repetition
will lead you to development and progress. Stopping will lead you into
retreat and defeat.
By the same token, if you keep teaching the Divine Principle one
thousand times, ten thousand times, each time you teach it, you will
have a greater spirit. Remember, history is always circulating,
repeating. Suppose there is a sine curve here. Imagine it is like a
wave. The pinnacle of the wave will become even higher next time.
When you watch the kind of tape we just saw, you should have the
determination "We can be even better!" Father came to America
to fight evil. The entire 240 million people of America opposed
Father, but Reverend Moon has been like this: even though he has been
hit and knocked down, he stands up and challenges it again. This kind
of repetition has taken place in his life. Each time he gets hit, he
has experienced that certain degree of being hit, so next time, it gets
easier. He became greater and greater.
When you play soccer or volleyball or football, there is always
repetition. You can't just say, "Oh, well, I'm an expert.
Whenever I throw the basketball, the ball will go where I want
it." You have to practice millions of times. What about
mealtimes-breakfast, lunch, dinner-don't you repeat your habit and
motions of eating? What about going to the bathroom? People don't like
it, but it is a necessary, repetitious step to take in order to live.
Think about it. The most precious organ in your entire body is your
loving organ-yet that very precious loving organ is in the same place
where the dirtiest waste from all of your body comes out. Isn't it
true? Well, in order to grow plants, what do you need? Fertilizer. In
order to become good people, we need fertilizer, too. For example, when
your parents keep telling you to study more, to study harder, it seems
like dirty fertilizer, but you need that. Do you understand? The people
who will control or dominate the world at the last are the people who
have the philosophy of training through repetition.
Think about scientific, high technology nowadays. It has almost
reached the culmination point, the end. Now who is going to do the
repetition properly and materialize it? Whoever does that is the one
who will win and that kind of movement will win.
When you watch a tape like this one, those who are leaders should
think, "Well, I am too old to do that, but I have my younger
brother, my children. I will help them to become like that." But
what if Father tells you to wear your jacket front side back? Will you
do that? Well, suppose you have a concept that this is the evil world I
am facing and I do not want to face my front to the evil world.
Therefore, I have to wear my jacket backwards so that even if I turn
around, my jacket is facing down the evil world. Sometimes you need
those kinds of concepts. That is why the world of restoration is a
great world. It contains the concept of repetition.
The American people in general do not have the ability to sit down
like Koreans in the yoga style for more than one hour because they need
to walk around and stretch their legs. That is not the way of
restoration. The mind has to be set first as the center; then the body
should follow. It is a kind of circular movement. Through circular
movement, you become greater and greater and greater, but because you
do not have the center, which is your mind set, even if you turn
around, you don't grow. Your center is being moved around all the time.
But in Father's case, centering on God's will, Father's mind is always
set on the center. Whatever or whoever is there, Father is the center
and whoever tries to come against Father will eventually be destroyed
by natural principle. Each time Father makes a circular movement, he
becomes greater.
A good analogy or example is when you transplant a tree. Should you
keep transplanting a tree from one side of the lawn to another each
day? No. The tree will suffer and struggle and die. You must keep the
tree in one central place, water it and nurture it there, and then the
tree will grow and prosper.
We need a certain amount of repetition in our lives in order to
overcome and go beyond the world's level, in order to do better than
they. Young people of the second generation, do you have confidence
that you can do better than the North Korean youth? If what you are
saying is true, you have to go through difficult situations such that
you have to give up your life many times. In North Korea, if you make a
mistake, they don't threaten you. They shoot you. That's it. That is
why everyone is sticking their necks out to do their mission. No
mistakes are allowed. But in America, we do not have that concept, do
we? Once people are equipped with that kind of conviction and spirit,
even if you are being kicked out of some organization or even the
world, they will always return and repent to you.
Father is one hundred times higher than their standard, so Father is
teaching them to come up even higher. Once Father finishes teaching
them, Father will bequeath all he has to them. Therefore, throughout
history, there hasn't been anyone who went through as many severe
situations and persecutions as Father did. You young people must
understand that. Father knows all aspects of human life. But you don't
like that, do you? You don't like the difficult course. People of the
developed nations do not like this kind of dirty, hard work, so they
will go down and down and decline and in the end, the undeveloped
nations who are equipped with a better spirit will be ahead. That is
possible. Again, it is repetition. When you reach the pinnacle, where
else can you head? You have to head down to the bottom. It is like
going up and down and then going up again.
Make sure you have a proper center and then keep doing this
repetition of circular movement. Then you will grow to be bigger and
greater. But the bigger ones will get smaller and smaller. No matter
how great America may be, America is no exception to this formula. The
American people like the easy way, but the truth is not that simple.
Precise machinery is not simply assembled. Therefore, Western
civilization will be absorbed by Oriental civilization. Do you
understand?
When it comes to lecturing the Divine Principle, if Father tells you
to do so, you usually try one or two times and think you are no good
and give up. You should repeat it one thousand times. Father is telling
Reverend Pak that we have to continue our campaign of doing all kinds
of speeches and giving literature out and our Women's Federation should
do the same thing. Remember, from March 1st, Father is mobilizing
another 50,000 Japanese women leaders. These are new ones-not the ones
who already went through training at Cheju Island. This is a new batch
of highly educated women, college graduates and above. These are 50,000
new ones who were witnessed to by the ones who already went through the
training course a couple of months ago. They are the ones who brought
this new batch of women leaders. Your responsibility is to bring them
to the Korean peninsula. From then on, I will take the responsibility
to educate them.
These are people who do not understand the Divine Principle but who
have been persuaded to come to listen to Reverend Moon. What kind of
effort, spiritual power and prayer does Father need? He needs more than
the power of 50,000 people altogether. Where will Father get that
power? Father will mobilize the entire spirit world. We do not really
know that. That is why our Unification movement is still in this
handful-of-members stage. We don't know that spiritual reality. That is
why Father is now working in educating the founders or leaders of
prominent denominations of religions. It doesn't happen just like
that-you have to somehow arrange it in such a way that they will have
to follow Father's directions, feeling no other choice because of
spiritual world influence. In order to mobilize spirit world, Father
has to be out in front of the spirit world, doing more than they.
Otherwise, God is not going to give him the power.
In general, the old things belong to Satan; you have to come up with
fresh new things, fresh new people, make fresh new movements. Then
spirit world and God will come down and help you. A new movement, new
men and new women means new momentum. That is the key. That is where
God will come down and work.
Father knows the time period and the importance of this critical
time. He knows where to go and when to go. That is why Father hardly
sleeps but rather focuses on the particular time and project. Last year
when Father came up with the Proclamation of True Parents and the
Completed Testament Age, almost all the leaders, including myself
(Peter Kim), were scared of it. We were just shivering. Do you remember
that time? That was the time when the Waco fiasco with David Koresh was
going on, not far away at all. He was falsely proclaiming himself to be
the Messiah. CNN and some of the media portrayed Father as a religious
leader like him. It was a critical time, but Father's conviction was,
"Well, you are proud of the Christian culture here in America, so
now is the time when I will show the real Messiah." Father's
determination and proclamation at this time was that if there was any
Ph.D. or minister who came out against Father during this time and
challenged him about being the Messiah, Father was going to grab him by
the tie and challenge him in public. That was Father's determination.
You can't even find the words "True Parents" or "The
Completed Testament Age" in the dictionary, can you? Nobody knows
those words, so how can they challenge Father on it? There is no choice
but to humble themselves in order to learn what it means from Father.
That is the way Father and True Parents made a big sweep around the
world.
Are you testifying and giving this proclamation of True Parents and
the Completed Testament Age, you of the second generation? What do you
want to inherit from the True Parents? Wherever you go, whomever you
may meet, you have to open your mouth with the proclamation of True
Parents and the Completed Testament Age and tell them. We must be
centered on True Parents. Suppose you have to put a sign on your
forehead proclaiming this and Father asks you to go all around the
world with it? Will you do that? Father doesn't see you as having the
confidence to do that.
This is the time when we no longer need the Old Testament and the
New Testament. This is the time of the Completed Testament Age. What
are the teachings of the Completed Testament Age? We cannot find them
in the Old Testament or the New Testament, but Father has given the
contents to the 50,000 women leaders who went to Cheju Island because
Japan is the Eve country. Out of those 50,000 women leaders, Father
selected those who have college degrees and above, graduate students
and Ph.D.s. He chose 1,600 people in order to send ten people to 160
countries in the world. In the future, the United Nations must consist
of the Religious Federation for World Peace and the Women's Federation
for World Peace. They must be like the organization's two hands.
You, the second generation, should march forth. Unless you are
totally united and do your responsibility, you will lose the world.
There are many different organizations and new religions preparing to
receive the Lord of the Second Advent. Unless we rid ourselves of our
old habits which we inherited from the American way of doing things and
American society here, we will lose the opportunity to inherit Father's
tradition. Our destiny is a one-way street. There is just one main
street, so if we hesitate and delay, the people who follow behind us
will pass us and go ahead of us to follow Father, who is way ahead of
us all. We cannot stop the people who are coming behind us. They will
catch up and go ahead of us.
When Father looks at the first generation, Father sees that they
forgot the conviction they had and the determination they made and the
spiritual strength they received when they first studied the Divine
Principle. They had a tendency to go back to their old habits from
before they joined and then try to enjoy their lives. But the time has
progressed to the point that North Korea meets with Father-even Kim Il
Sung and South Korea want to meet with Father, because otherwise, they
know there is no future for them. We really do not know all that Father
is doing, do we?
The world appeared to be pretty quiet in the year of 1993, but
Father just made a sweep around the world. It is as if there is no one
in the world who didn't hear the proclamation of True Parents and the
Completed Testament Age. If there is any Unification Church member who
is hesitating to give this message out or hiding behind something,
Father will give them a good kick. Instead of taking revenge on the
satanic world, Father may take revenge on you! The people of the
satanic world don't know the truth. You know the truth, yet you do not
move.
As parents, as the first generation, we have the responsibility to
set the standard and direction for our future generations. Otherwise,
we will be punished. You didn't join the Unification Church just to
feed your family, did you? You need Reverend Moon in order to meet God.
Without God, the Unification Church doesn't exist. The same principle
applies to America. Because of God's grace and blessing, America has
progressed and developed up to this point, but the American people do
not know the truth. We are the ones who have to teach them.
Once we have our TV station fully established, we can reach the
entire country of America. Then we can educate the entire 240 million
people of America. That means in 40 days, we can give Divine Principle
lectures from page to page 30 times. Think about it. If I were to give
a Divine Principle lecture beginning to end 30 times, what kind of
changes would we witness? Have you witnessed the wave of change taking
place in the former Soviet Union? You have seen it in the newspapers.
Well, America is still in the sleeping stage, not knowing what is going
on in Reverend Moon's movement, but you cannot be sleeping. America
will not last if it keeps sleeping. You are the ones who are awake.
You have to wake the others up. Read Divine Principle one hundred or
one thousand times. Spirit world is watching you. If you stand still,
you will see the phenomena resulting from that.
When it comes to the real core of your life of faith, you have to
find your own way of religion. It is not just a blanket term
"Unification faith." Within that faith, you have to find your
own way of strengthening yourself, your own world of faith. If
Midori-san here reads the Divine Principle 1,000 times, her spiritual
level will shoot up like a rocket and she will experience many
different levels of spiritual life and she will stay up there. Her
personality will develop greatly. That is possible. This is no
ordinary power. For that reason, Father is telling you to keep reading
the Divine Principle, even memorize it. Do you understand? Then you can
utilize it in any way.
In order to solve a math problem, you need a formula. Without
memorizing the formula, how you can solve the math problem? By the same
token, we must study the Divine Principle. Whenever you open your
mouth, if your talk is centered on the Divine Principle, then every
problem will be solved because spirit world will help you. If
Midori-san is in the center here, then circular movement keeps taking
place and getting greater and greater. The spirit world is centered on
that particular spot and will naturally come there and go to that spot
as if it were an antenna. Of course, every individual will have that
center.
We have to do that kind of preparation in this physical world. Then
when we go to the spiritual world, it is as Father described, so when
we go there we can adjust ourselves easily to our past generations as
well as the present and future generations. Unless we have this antenna
centered on God and True Parents, we cannot communicate with people.
How many times have you repeated eating your meals? Just as we kept
repeating our eating, three times a day, almost 2,000 times a year,
almost 20,000 times in ten years and ten times that number in 100
years, it keeps getting bigger and bigger, growing and growing. By the
same token, if you keep studying the Divine Principle every day,
repeating and repeating, you will receive this source of life from God
and spirit world every time you do. It is like meals you eat in order
to grow. We can do better than the parade and performance we watched
today if we keep repeating. Do you have confidence? You said yes. That
means you can make repetition, right? Even if you take a wooden stick
and keep rubbing it against a hard surface, what will follow? A total
change, a totally different substance will emerge. When husband and
wife make love, you are repeating. When you have a desire to do that
one thousand, 10,000, even a billion times, you will see a fire erupt.
Then the entire spirit world will be thrown into it. When you scrub a
floor, your movements are repetitive. Repetition is not a problem. It's
that simple. Even if you are young, start thinking that way.
In your school, suppose you have 80 people in your class who are
your friends. If you have the determination that you will repeat
prayers or study 80 times, once for each person, then you will become
the greatest one in your class. You will become the leader of the
class.
Think about how many times Father has prayed. What kind of
repetition was involved in that prayer? If there is any particular
subject to pray about, Father prays and prays about it. In Korea, we
talk about when water drops one drop at a time from the rooftops. Even
if there is solid rock at the bottom, eventually you will see a dent in
the rock. Eventually, it will even make a hole. There is power there.
Do you understand?
There has been much opposition and persecution throughout Father's
life, but Father said, I will keep repeating what I have been doing on
the family, societal, national, and worldwide levels. Father was
consistent, repeating his actions. Now we have reached the end. Where
can we go? Like a circular movement that comes back to the original
spot again, like a figure 8, the world is coming back to the original
place where we started and now we can go the right way around. It began
the wrong away around.
You big-headed leaders think, "Oh, well, I joined Unification
Church 30 years ago. I am qualified as a leader and I do not have to go
through suffering any more." No. When God looks at you, you are
not even like an elementary school kid to Him. Do you have the power of
life within yourself? Are you sure that you are qualified enough that
if anyone else is grafted into you, you can give new, heavenly life to
them? That's a problem. We know that about ourselves very well.
We understand, don't we? It is like women cooking. If you just keep
doing it and doing it, putting your effort into it, then you can come
up with more delicious food. We have a Korean proverb that if you do
your best, God will help you. Heaven helps those who help themselves.
Once you keep repeating and repeating, you get bigger and greater.
Father knew this truth a long time ago; that is why through prayer,
Father established this worldwide foundation.
Do you understand the concept of repetition now? When you go to your
office every day, you do things routinely, repetitively, don't you? But
every day, do even one iota more than the day before, put a little more
effort into it every day. Then it will become new and in that way, God
will come to you.
As long as God is following you, as long as God is with you, your
nation and the world will be safe. By the same token, if we do not
repeat our efforts, we will diminish. If you do a lot in the beginning
and then in the middle of the project or task, you slow down your
efforts, then you are going down the drain. Even if you start small and
add something every day, you will become greater and greater. That is
the ideal way.
Why do things happen in this world in general? Because every object,
every subject is going around trying to find its counterpart. That is
why circular motion takes place in the world-in order to become greater
and bigger. Every plus is looking for a minus and every minus for a
plus. That is the way they grow. We all go out and somehow move around
in the same way. We go around to find a certain object, certain work
and certain things to do. Do you understand?
Have this as your habit-every day you will do one more thing than
yesterday, one more than other people. That is Father's experience.
When Father climbs up a mountain, Father sees the other people stop
because we reached the top, but Father always goes up one or two steps
higher than the other people. If other people stop early, it can be
one hundred steps or ten steps further. It is that spirit of
determination we are talking about. When spirit world looks down and
finds people with that kind of spirit and determination, spirit world
always watches over you and is with you.
What about sleeping time? Do we have to sleep ten more minutes than
other people? No, we should sleep less than other people, getting up
earlier than others. Even one minute earlier counts. That is the spirit
we need. Father is sharing his secret with us this morning. Father has
been living like that all these years. That is why the entire world is
getting closer to Father and is within his reach. One more step, one
more dollar every day, whatever. If we are dealing with a lot of
friends, every day have a determination to give one more kind,
heartistic word to make one more person feel happy. For example, if you
have candy in your pocket, give the candy to one more person each day.
For example, while you are driving along, if you see a poor beggar,
practice giving one more dollar to that beggar. If you don't have
money, give him a handkerchief. It is the spirit we are talking about,
you understand. Don't make them feel disadvantaged that they met
you-make them feel that they gained something from you. That is where
the world of Unification takes place. If that continues, repeating
every day, if everyone in the world were doing that every day, what
would you expect? The world of Unification would come about.
Even if you meet your enemy today and you feel like you want to
attack him, do not think that way. Think: "Even to my enemy, I
want to give one dollar, one more good thing." That's the spirit.
That is a great ideology.
As long as you practice this life of the spirit as Father has
described it, doing one more positive thing per day-ten or twenty or
thirty years down the road, you will see thousands of people following
you and respecting you. Try it experimentally. You will profit from it.
Set a condition today-if I do more today, I will catch a bigger fish
tomorrow. It is quite possible. That kind of phenomenon is taking

Father says that if you want to give money to someone who needs it,
don't count the money in your wallet. Just give it. If you feel the
money will be used wisely or beneficially, give it. Who is the owner?

If you have the spirit of repeating one hundred times, one thousand

That's why whatever situation Father may face, Father never feels,
"I can't do that" because Father has proved to himself that
he can do it. It is merely a matter of time and repetition. Even at the
age of 80, Father feels that if he kept repeating drawing and painting
pictures, he could become a very great artist. You know Father's
personality. If he just keeps drawing and doesn't sleep and spends more
and more effort and more time and spirit than the greatest artist in
the world, he is confident he will become greater than that artist.
That is the truth. The same principle comes in there. Give and forget,
repeat again, and forget. Forget-that is how you can repeat again. Then
you will reach to the best, the highest.
American sisters in particular, you must learn and cultivate that
spirit of repeating. Okay?
Everybody stand up. Let us bow to True Parents one more time.
