SPEAKS ON
WHERE AND HOW DO YOU
WANT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE?
June 9, 1996
Belvedere--International Training Center
Translator--Peter Kim
econd generation children, please raise your hands. Raise your
hands higher please. What kind of message would you like to hear from
Father this morning? You have attended Belvedere regularly and heard
hundreds of messages from Father. However, you never really heard
Father's message deeply before. Are you ready this morning to hear the
real message? (YES.) Instead of you listening to Father's message,
would you prefer Father to listen to your message? (Laughter.)
[Mr. Peter Kim has the audience repeat in Korean, the title of
Father's message] Where and How Do You Want to Live Your Life?
Uh-Deh-Suh Uh-Dduh-Keh Sahl-Goh-Ship-Eu-Nah? Regardless of
gender, this is one of the most important questions for all humanity.
We want to live exciting and joy-filled lives. However, it is not easy
to come up with a standardized response to how we might live such a
life. All the various races of the world are proud of their own
tradition. But it is important to understand the origin of one's
tradition, and upon what that tradition has been established,--origin,
direction and effect.
Americans might claim that their nation of America has its roots in
the Pilgrim Fathers. Based upon Christianity America has been
progressing to establish Western Christian culture throughout the
world. If you claim this, then it is necessary to understand under what
circumstances the Pilgrim Fathers left Europe and, based upon the
Christian values they brought with them, what direction they took upon
arriving in America. Actually, in setting out on their voyage to
America they risked their lives. They faced danger from the elements
during their voyage. Then upon arriving in America they faced danger
from the Native American Indians. The question arises, "did the Pilgrim
Fathers live in natural harmony with the American Indians, or did they
exert force in order to reach an agreement with them"?
In studying American history, we can only conclude that the Pilgrim
Fathers did, in fact, use force in order to secure their peaceful life
in this land. If we want to erase that history we need to take some
action. However, now it is too late, because it has become an
historical fact. The America that we dwell in is, in fact, the result
of the actions of the Pilgrim Fathers. Within the population of America
are many different races. But the Anglo-Saxons were the first to come
here from Europe. Those Pilgrim Fathers became the original American
white race. All the other Europeans which came after them became
various ethnic groups. Because of this, we now face great danger in
America of racial disunity. We all face the task of solving this
problem of racial discrimination.
We who presently live in America, must consider how we are living
our lives. We always have to remember what our ancestors have done. If
you claim to be proud of your tradition, do you imagine the people of
the world will blindly follow you? (No.) You have to be willing to face
even more difficult problems. You have to learn how to solve and digest
these problems. The American continent refers to North and South
America combined.
The Pilgrim Fathers who came to North America came because of their
faith, their religion. However, the founding fathers who came to South
America came for money and treasure. This basic difference in purpose
and direction exists. Fortunately, the Pilgrim Fathers came because
they desired to worship God freely. Because of that very reason America
has been prospering and also because of this saving factor, there has
been no major war that might have eliminated America.
We Unificationists believe in the law of cause and effect, the law
of indemnity. If we consider the lives of the American Indians in the
beginning of American history, they followed the natural law. They
harmonized with nature. They migrated, following the buffalo herds.
They relied upon nature and honored God. They were not really centered
upon their own race. Rather they worshiped nature and God. Strictly
speaking, the American Indians believed in the God within nature and
the God within heaven. The Pilgrim Fathers who came from Europe
believed in God as well. What then was the difference between these two
groups? While American Indians believed in many different gods within
nature, the Pilgrim Fathers believed in one absolute God.
While American Indians believed in God in order to protect their own
tribe and race, the Christians from Europe believed in God in order to
save the entire world. We have to wonder why God should have given
blessings to those Europeans who eliminated the Native Americans. If
those Pilgrim Fathers had not harmed the American Indians imagine how
many of them would be living today in America. The history books of
America claim that the Native Americans died from disease and sickness.
Is that not what your history books teach? (Yes.) But that is not true.
The American Indians had lived in America for hundreds of years prior
to the arrival of the first Pilgrim Fathers. Then why should they
suddenly die from various diseases? It happened because they were
massacred. You young Americans must understand these facts.
The historians claim that Columbus discovered the American
continent. In fact, Columbus was shipwrecked and he was saved by
American Indians. However, the historians don't even consider the
American Indians as human beings. Because of this mentality, force was
used in order to eliminate the Native American Indians. This same
mentality has continued throughout history. Even though America has
generally prospered, Americans have become even more narrow. They focus
on their own nation and race. America really has very little to do with
the world.
God is longing to bestow His blessing upon a nation and people who
are ready and willing to live for the entire world, not for a nation
that is narrow and insular. Even if God has to abandon the entire
nation of America in order to bless the nation that is ready and
willing to live for the world He should do so. The question is,
Where and How Should We Live Our Lives? What about all of
you? Americans feel so proud of their nation being considered a
melting pot and a super power. However, America is becoming more
selfish, and narrow-minded. Whereas a newly emerging nation might be
opening its arms wide in order to embrace the world in peace. Should we
cut off America and invest in that newly emerging nation or remain in
America and try to do something? Do you think that the entire American
people would welcome that?
If we find any movement which transcends and supersedes American
nationalism, and which tries to build peace for the entire world, such
a movement will become the mainstream of America in the future. Do you
agree? (Yes.) That is our task actually. What about other developed
nations such as Japan, Great Britain and Germany? Will they remain?
They didn't become developed overnight. All of them had to shed much
blood within their history in order to develop as they have.
The four major problems that we face in the world are: 1)
environment; 2) pollution; 3) immorality; and 4) famine. Can America
alone solve these major problems which the entire world is facing?
America might be proud of being a major super power, yet America
belongs to the world. The world doesn't belong to America. If America
is to prosper, it must exist for the sake of the entire world. If
America continues to exist for its own sake, then because of God's
providence America will find itself cut off. God will choose another
country to lead the world.
Would God prefer religious or non-religious people? (Religious
people.) But even among those religious people, which kind would God be
most interested in? Within the religious community there are two major
groups. One group believes that we are all brothers and sisters and we
are closer than physical family. The other group believes the
Anglo-Saxon race to be superior and that the entire world should follow
them. Which group would God prefer? (The first one.) Second one. (First
one.) Father realizes that you are actually hearing his message this
morning. (Laughter)
What kind of king would God like to become? (The king of love.) When
we look at a bar of gold we cannot distinguish which one is twenty-one
karat and which is nineteen karat. It requires certain tests in order
to detect which one is pure gold. Does Christianity desire money,
knowledge or power the most? (Money.) Then what comes next? (Power.)
Next? (Knowledge.) If that is the true identity of Christianity at this
time, and if God's Will has to prevail in the end, should this brand of
Christianity work for God or be eliminated? (God should find another
true religion.) Just as the accumulated snow of winter will be melted
by the coming of spring, so will this kind of Christianity fade away by
natural law. When Father observes American Christianity it looks like
muddy water. It is no longer possible to distinguish the color of this
water. Therefore, is America prospering or perishing? (Perishing.)
Internally or externally? (Internally.) You understand well.
The American media feels that while Reverend Moon and his
Unification Church are in the midst of America's melting pot, still
they don't become melted. Rather they try to melt the entire America
within their Moon pot. (Laughter) (Applause) When Father makes this
kind of statement American people do not like it. Yet still he speaks
out. In what sense are Unificationists better than American people in
general? Unificationists are clean-cut? In the streets of New York
young people have five different layers of clothing hanging out.
(Laughter) Americans love to wear really tight blue jeans. When Father
goes out fishing in Alaska and other places, Mother buys blue jeans for
Father to wear. When Father tries to put them on they are too narrow at
the ankle. Many times Father almost fell over trying to put them on. No
one considers why the companies who produce jeans cut them so narrow
and tight. Actually, the reason may be that the merchants want to save
fabric. But Americans in general are fooled and believe that it is fad.
(Laughter)
These money-making business merchants also created the fashion of
short pants and mini-skirts. This way they can charge more money for
the item and use less material. It is true. But we Unificationists are
not fooled. Therefore we don't wear such items. When God looks down
upon the American population who run after all these fads, do you
suppose that He will prefer them over Unificationists who are more
conservative in their dress code? (No.)
Immediately following the Fall, do you think that Adam and Eve only
wanted to cover their genitals or their entire body? (Whole body.)
Would God have enjoyed looking at Adam and Eve's fallen bodies? (No.)
Who enjoyed watching their fallen bodies? (Satan.)
When Adam and Eve first committed sin, do you imagine that God would
have preferred to see them completely cover their naked bodies and bow
down in an attitude of repentance, or parade themselves in brief
clothing? (That they cover themselves.) Do Unificationists like the
idea of parading on Fifth Avenue wearing only the minimal amount of
clothing? (No.) Absolutely no. Father would like you to distinguish the
sound between no and know. The first should be very short and clipped
and the second more drawn out and long. If this becomes our tradition,
then in the future it might be that people will want to know how this
distinction in pronunciation came about. Then it will be told that at
Belvedere on this day Reverend Moon decreed it so.
We need to understand how precious origin is. It goes together with
direction. The origin has to be absolutely one. We can interpret the
origin as cause and effect. Therefore, the cause, effect and direction
must be absolutely one. Did humanity originate from Adam alone, or from
both Adam and Eve? (Adam and Eve.) Were they two or one? (Two.) That
means this theory is wrong. If you claim that the human race resulted
from two different people, that means two different directions and
results. Are you saying that? (No.) Who stands in the position of
subject, man or woman? (Man.) Why should man stand in the position of
subject? (Because he contains the seed of life.) Unificationist women
don't claim that man is the subject because they like that idea, but
actually they have no choice in the matter. You really didn't believe
it until you joined the Unification Church. Women in this American
melting pot society claim that they should be subject. Who will
eventually prevail between American Unificationist women and those
American melting pot, society women?
If these American women insist on the idea of women being subject,
then eventually we can bring women from Africa and India and through
them sow the true seed. Then the American women, who insist on
maintaining their subjectivity, will certainly face some problems. What
then is your role as a woman? You are like a field waiting to be
planted. Whatever seed the farmer may sow in your field you have to
produce. As a field, do you have the luxury of telling the farmer what
kind of seed to sow in your field? You have absolutely no choice.
American women don't like such an idea. In order to respond
affirmatively to Father regarding this matter, you have had to come
through such a drastic change in your thinking. Once the farmer sows
the seed in your field, can you claim the fruit of that seed, the
harvest as your own? To whom does the crop belong? (The owner of the
seed.) Therefore, to whom do your children belong? (The husband.)
Absolutely the husband.
The American Constitution deals with child custody in a misguided
way. Therefore, we have to change that particular part of the American
Constitution. The woman's responsibility is to follow her husband. If
your husband represents the bones of your body, you are in the position
of the flesh. Therefore, the two of you have to become one. Otherwise
we will end up with two origins, two directions and two effects. When
divorce occurs between a couple, who usually wants to have the custody
of the children? (Women.) Since we understand the truth, should not
such women be considered as thieves in claiming their children. You
women don't feel in your minds that they are thieves. Then is Father
telling you a lie? (No.)
The father stands in the vertical position. Therefore if you want to
climb up the vertical ladder you have to climb up your father. Your
mother is in the horizontal position of the field. The head of your
family is your father, not your mother. He stands in the position of
the family king. How about American families? There are many, various
fathers and mothers. Everything is confused and mixed up. This shows
that they have completely disregarded this principle. If the
Constitution of this country was written in such a way that, should
divorce take place between a couple, the children should remain with
their father, then the wife wishes to divorce she should go freely
without taking anything. If this was the case, we would have far less
divorces in this country. Suppose all of the children desire to follow
their father, wouldn't the mother eventually come back because of her
love for her children? Don't you think there would be a greater chance
of recovering the family this way? No matter how fertile your field
might be, if there is no farmer to sow the seeds, then your field will
be wasted.
The well-developed breasts of women exist for the sake of their
children. Their hips also exist for their children. The face of a woman
is pretty for the sake of her husband. If you follow this line all the
way down through the center point of your body you discover a living
spring. Does that belong to you or your husband? (Husband.) That means
you don't possess anything at all. Everything of yourself belongs
either to your husband or your children. No one can argue this fact.
Certainly members of the women's liberation movement would oppose
Father's words. How can we claim equalization as women when not even in
the Olympic games is there any woman who has competed with and won over
men. Men are bigger and stronger than women. Even if a woman became a
champion wrestler, do you think she would have the chance to win over a
man champion wrestler? (No.) How can you claim equalization? Only
because of love. Centering upon love you can claim equalization. When
the concave and convex shapes become totally united into one, then
there exists equalization. But only centered upon True Love does
equalization exist. There is no equalization within the realm of love
practiced in the secular world.
We Unificationists may appear to be beggars, but where this True
Love travels, one can travel at any speed desired. We could travel to
God in the flick of a second, and even penetrate God's throne and sit
on top of God. That is the power of True Love. God will welcome and
embrace True Love anytime. Regardless of season, time or place.
Whenever Father is not in America, very few American members attend
Belvedere. However, as soon as they hear that Father is coming, even
though many of you are not qualified to be here, you all try to attend
and learn something. All of us come with the hope that Father will
speak for a short time only. But usually Father speaks for over six
hours.
If you want to give the kiss of True Love to True Parents and true
children, would you like that to be a short kiss or one that lasts for
several hours? (Longer.) With that same mentality you sit in front of
Father for many hours. Within your own families, children who truly
appreciate the heart of their father's hard work in order to support
that family, would cry together with their father. They would support
their father's work and try to help him. That is the heart of a true
family. Therefore, as True Father's message is one of True Love , if it
continues for ten thousand years, we will still be happy to receive it.
Isn't it true? (Yes.) True Love contains that kind of high level
preciousness.
In the spiritual world you won't need to eat anything or work in
order to live. Then what would you do with yourselves in the spiritual
world? Of course, if you wanted to taste a particularly delicious food
which you never experienced in the physical world, then you can do so.
However, there should be someone or something that you can look forward
to for even ten thousand years without becoming bored. There should be
someone whom you want to embrace for ten thousand years without getting
bored. That kind of object should exist there. Only the power of True
Love can create that environment and atmosphere. Nothing else.
When Father leaves America we feel as if the entire country is
empty, don't we? (YES.) Let us imagine a father and mother with six
children, eight family members. In the morning the father goes to work
and returns in the evening. If only his children are there when he
returns home and his wife is out, he may say that there is nobody at
home. Then his six children may protest to him, "Father, the six of us
are here. How can you say there is no one at home"? If these children
truly come to understand why their father feels the home is empty when
their mother is not there, then they will feel joy, the joy of knowing
how much their father loves their mother.
Also, your parents and grandparents will be so filled with happiness
if you come home and find your new wife not home and accidently say,
"No one is at home." Then your parents and grandparents will smile at
you. They feel so happy because when it comes to the husband and wife
relationship there is such oneness where the convex and concave join
into one. No one else is able to interfere in that process, not your
brothers and sisters, not your parents, and not your grandparents. In
the position of grandparents, you must help your children and
grandchildren to find their spouse so that they can fulfill their
destiny to form a oneness between concave and convex.
Since the universal law seeks that union and protects that union, if
anyone in your family, tribe or nation should oppose that process they
will eventually be destroyed. The unifying process between husband and
wife should ideally be supported by the entire universe which consists
of your own family as well. In this case, whenever a couple would be
out walking hand in hand, they would be welcomed and invited by
everyone. This kind of joyful and peaceful world would be the Kingdom
of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven.
Once absolute oneness occurs between husband and wife your value is
as great as God Himself. This is the very key which God is seeking.
There is true equality there. Don't you think that your parents and
grandchildren lived the life of total oneness between husband and wife?
(Yes.) Also your own children will seek that life. This is an eternal
process. No matter how rich and knowledgeable you may become, so long
as no total oneness exists between husband and wife in ideal terms,
there can be no peace, no happiness, no unification and no ideal.
Centering upon today's topic, where do you want to live your life?
In the bosom of your spouse or America? (Bosom of spouse.) Is that
true? (Yes.) How do you want to live your life? Do any parents or
grandparents exist that want to see the breakup of your couple? (No.)
There are no families, nations or world that desire the breakup of the
couple. Rather they desire to protect the family. Is there anyone who
opposes the ideal total oneness between husband and wife which is the
ideal form of couple? If you all support this ideal and want to become
such couples, show your hands to Father. Since you understand Father's
message, you are qualified to follow the path leading to the Kingdom of
God.
Once you grab your ideal spouse centering upon True Love, should you
ever let him or her go? (No.) Should you stick with your spouse
throughout eternity? (Yes.) Why? Because this is the way of eternal
True Love. After a couple join together in sexual intercourse they can
never separate. Together with their love partner they belong to a
limitless world of True Love. You desire then to dwell in the bosom of
your True Love partner? (Yes.) Those who claim not to agree with this
idea, are in the position of leaves that will fall to the ground and
disappear. They will never become branches of the trunk.
How then are you going to live? Since the first love given you by
God is so precious, you must grab onto it and never let it go. No
matter how much you may pursue free sex you will never experience the
degree of excitement and joy that you will experience from your
God-given first love spouse. In American society now, we cannot see
those people who cherish and value their first love. Therefore such a
nation is doomed to perish. Do we Unificationists value and cherish
first love? (YES.)
We may not possess great wealth, but when it comes to our dream and
life of faith, we are the kings and queens who dwell in the palace of
the eternal ideal world. We believe in the existence of that ideal
kingdom and constantly put our effort into being connected to that
ideal world. Is there any ideology which is superior to the teaching of
Unificationism? (No.) Why do you say no? Because Unificationism is such
that a small woman is able to liberate and perfect a man who can become
the king of the world, and even liberate and perfect God Himself. That
kind of power lies within the teaching of Unificationism. Until that
ideal is fulfilled, the Unification Church will never perish.
The American people are proud of the spirit and teaching of the
Pilgrim Fathers. But their teaching and spirit is nothing compared to
Unificationism. The way that you all laugh indicates that you have
become Moonies. Do you regret having become Unificationists, or do you
feel fortunate? (Fortunate.) [Father writes on the board] Are you able
to detect the difference between these two characters? [indicating to
the board] This character represents moon. This character represents
father. Therefore, Moonism means parentism. The Chinese characters for
father and moon both have the meaning of two people on Earth serving
God with dual characteristics. Also, the Chinese character for heaven
means two people.
The individual letters of the English language don't have any
meaning. They simply represent a sound. However, each Chinese character
has a significant meaning. The people who use and speak Oriental
languages, are able to stand high above and look down at the overall
situation. The structure of an Oriental language, such as Korean and an
Occidental language, such as English are so different. Within the
English language there is just one word to describe "shaking," for
example. However, within the Korean language there is a deeper
description of that particular motion. Because of this advantage, even
within the structure of language, Asia stands in a position closer to
God to be able to receive the Lord of the Second Advent, because Father
was trained in that particular culture.
Where should we live? In the bosom of the True Love couple. [Father
addresses a black brother in the audience] You have to return to your
wife eternally. Do you agree? What if some beautiful woman seduces you.
What will you do? Answer clearly to Father, don't mumble. (I would
refuse her.)
Father is now close to eighty years of age. However, when Father was
younger he was more handsome. So many women have tried to seduce
Father. They were all drawn to Father and fell in love with him.
Therefore, the secular world spread rumors that if you go to Reverend
Moon you will never escape from him. Do you all love True Father?
(YES.) Your response is too loud. If you truly love True Father you
have to respond quietly. (Laughter) Do you truly love True Father?
(Yes.) It is better to just signal quietly to Father that you love him
rather than shouting. When you indicate quietly to Father, then
secretly you can communicate without words. But if you shout out there
is nothing, no connection. Between a loving husband and wife it takes
just a subtle gesture to communicate deeply.
Neither Adam nor Eve were the origin. The True Love point where they
could become one was the point of origin. Once they became totally one
they could never become separated. That is the place where True Love
dwells. Then they become an ideal couple centered upon True Love.
Where is the origin of True Love? What is your answer? The place of
union of the ideal man and woman in True Love is the origin. Unless you
become connected through your sexual organs, there is no way for the
love of husband and wife to be eternally bonded. Do you understand just
how precious and valuable are the sexual organs of man and woman?
Nothing can replace their value. Only the partnership of True Love can
control that place forever. Therefore, the ideal marriage between man
and woman and their first night of sexual love is the most precious
thing in the entire universe.
There is no other place to find the universal truth and ideal. When
Father discovered that this truth and ideal dwells within our own body,
Father was so surprised. Therefore, we should dwell in the bosom of the
True Love couple. As husband and wife, without holding onto your
partner's sexual organ, how can you continue in your married life? This
is the ideal way of married couples. Do you understand? (Yes.) Do you
all have sexual organs or not? (Yes.) Is God a male or female God? What
is the difference between the original sexual organ of God, which is
the origin of True Love, and human beings' sexual organ which is the
result of God's True Love? They possess equal value.
Our sexual organ has the desire to conquer the King of kings of the
universe. The husband stands in the position of king, and God is in the
position of King of kings. This is the palace of True Love, Life and
Lineage. Without this organ we are not able to create the ideal world.
The secular world has considered the sexual organ as the worst possible
thing, because through this sexual organ the entire humanity was
destroyed. That is why God desired humanity to live a life of chastity
and follow an ascetic path through the various religions. The
grandparents, parents, husband and wife, brothers and sisters (their
couples) all hang onto the sexual organ of their spouse. That is why
there is equalization. If this balance is broken, the entire family
will be unbalanced. If the ideal sexual life of husband and wife is
broken, the entire family will be shaken.
Once you American women receive your spouse, will you cling to him
for eternity or try to change him. (Stick for eternity.) As the founder
of the Unification Church Father has revealed the importance and value
of the sexual organ, this very organ which the secular world considers
the absolute worst. That is why Father has been labeled as a heretic.
However, the truth is, the fall of man took place because of false
love-making, the misuse of the original sexual organs. Instead of the
ideal center being between Adam and Eve, they deviated and created a
false center. The dividing line between Heaven and Hell is your sexual
organ. Is this the truth? (Yes.) Absolutely yes.
If you misuse your sexual organ you are condemned to Hell. If you
use it correctly you are destined to Heaven. This is a clear dividing
line. Therefore, Unification Church teaches the process of recreation.
Because the original position was lost, we have to recreate in order to
enter the Kingdom of Heaven. No one has appreciated the value of the
human sexual organ until now. As husband and wife you become an ideal
couple and produce children who will be true children in eternity. Even
if you produce true children within your family, if one of those
children deviates and falls, they will be doomed to Hell. Blessed
couples clearly know yourselves better than anyone else. At this
moment your conscience clearly tells you whether you belong to Heaven
or Hell. Your path toward Heaven is a long way ahead of you. If your
life is zig-zagging you will never be able to go over the boundary of
Satan's realm. Consider True Father's life, constantly marching on
without eating and resting properly.
Those of you who have come here for the first time to hear Father's
speech, please remember that the dividing line between Heaven and Hell
is within the relationship with your spouse. If you follow the way of
Divine Principle you will eventually belong to Heaven. However, if you
misuse your sexual organ you will end up in Hell. Please remember this
teaching. Once you are bound together through True Love you can never
be separated as husband and wife.
When you are really tired, instead of sleeping for eight hours
alone, place your head on your wife's lap and sleep for only thirty
minutes and you will gain more recovery than eight hours of sleep all
alone. When your husband returns after a long day working invite him to
rest on your lap for thirty minutes or one hour. Then when he is
totally recovered you can gently lead him into the bathroom to have him
take a shower.
Are Blessed Unification Church couples happy or unhappy? (Happy.)
There are so many senior Korean elders who have left their wives and
family in Korea and followed True Father to America. They have spent
five, ten or twelve years without their spouses. However, they don't
worry about them. They have faith that their families will live in
Korea peacefully. Since they live separately without having to worry
about their spouse, they gain more weight and look even brighter. After
five or seven years of separation, their love grows as big as a
mountain. When these two mountains meet they make a big noise like the
thunder. How wonderful. This is our love dream. Have you actually
experienced this?
Within American society, they don't cherish this kind of dream
because they are running after free sex. If you truly live your life
close to your wife's True Love , don't you think that she would welcome
you? Husbands should offer their True Love to their wives and wives to
their husbands. If you have enough money to live your life without
working, and you chain yourself to your wife so that you can never be
separated from one another and live your entire life this way, then no
one will ever blame you. If you find yourself in this position, you can
practice every level of love-making. Go and practice every level of
love-making. You are the center of the entire universe. Even if you
spend your entire life practicing all the varieties of love-making, you
will never be able to practice them all. There are just too many.
Now we know where and how we should live our lives. Those who
clearly understand and are ready to live this kind of life, show your
hands to Father. If you truly practice this, even without believing in
Jesus, you will go straight to Heaven. Amen. (Applause) This way of
life is not centered on your family alone, but it includes the entire
world. We have to remember that my couple is the center of my family,
my clan, my tribe, my nation, my world and even the center of God
Himself. That is the kind of pride we should have. Just as God
consists of dual characteristics of plus and minus, as husband and wife
we manifest God and follow this principle. The origin, direction, and
effect must be one through unity between husband and wife. The life
that we will practice is one of investing and forgetting. Shall we do
so? (Yes.) Living for the sake of others is the quality of life we are
referring to.
Based upon this standard of life, we can divide the world into two
categories: urban life and rural life. Which one would you like to
belong to? (Rural life.) Recently Father heard that scholars from
throughout the world came up with the conclusion that human beings
generally desire to return to the state of nakedness. Why do we have
such a desire? When you make love as husband and wife you do so naked,
don't you? (Yes.) (Laughter.) If that idea appeals to you, that is
fine. But there is no need to laugh about it.
It is the custom in America to greet each other with a hug or a
kiss. When Father first came to America there were many women who tried
to greet him in this way. Even in South America, that kind of
phenomenon occurred. Father placed a boundary around him, so that
within one meter no one can come close to him. It is very difficult
actually. What kind of kissing custom is this? Does it originate from
the Fall, or is it the original kissing custom which God gave to Adam
and Eve? (After the Fall.) Therefore, Father wants to spit it out.
Do you think that God prefers the city or the country life? (Country
life.) Why? God, first of all, began by creating the environment. He
created the sun, air, water, and earth. If any of these four elements
is missing, nothing else can exist. Therefore, God is the King of
scientists. Don't you think that God was happy after He created the
earth? He must have felt that by utilizing the elements of the soil
that his love partner could be created. God created the earth out of
His love and compassion so that He could eventually create His love
partner. We, as the love partners of God, have the task of loving this
earth as much as God does.
When God created the universe do you think that He was naked or had
clothes on? (Naked.) You have to think deeply about these things. Was
He happy enough to roll in the dirt, intoxicated with happiness? He
created this earth and He loves every aspect of this creation and
wanted to absorb every element of this earth within Himself. Just as
when your husband and you truly love one another, will you only touch
each other's hands or every part of your bodies?
When little children play naked in the sand, they don't mind getting
dirt or water on their bodies. They play in the dirt happily. When God
created this planet Earth, don't you think He also rolled in the dirt
and played as well? Even if God didn't in fact do so, do you imagine
that He will be upset because Reverend Moon is lying about it? No. God
would not mind. He would be proud of it. Have you seen innocent little
children trying to eat dirt? (Yes.) It happens. If we human beings eat
this small piece of clay once a month probably it would provide perfect
health for our bodies. Some scientist in the future will be able to
study this and give a report on it. We absorb our nutrition from food.
All the various foods are products of the earth. The resource of the
nutrition of the plants is in the dirt in which they grow.
Father promised True Mother that he would speak for only two hours
this morning. Already he has exceeded that time limit. Therefore, let
us conclude now. (NO.) If Father teaches you more you will simply
forget. Let us conclude this morning's talk. Even though Father has
taken two and one-half hours this morning, he can give the conclusion
in two minutes.
Since I understand that God loves the planet Earth more than anyone
else, then as God's sons and daughters we will love the planet Earth
more than God does. If you challenge God by saying that you will love
the Earth more than He does from now on, God will not hate you. Have
you ever heard the planet Earth complaining about being loved more?
Whatever you do to the earth, either good or bad, it is always silent.
When you wash your face with water and throw it onto the ground, the
earth doesn't complain. Even when you bury dead bodies in the earth,
still the planet Earth welcomes them.
Korea has more than 7,000 years of history. Actually it goes back
further than Chinese history. A theory exists that even the creation
of the Chinese characters were created by the original ancestors of
Koreans. The Korean language itself consists of dual characteristics of
subject and object. By the same token, Chinese characters consist of
subject and object as well. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude
that Koreans created Chinese characters. Even Confucius desired to
travel to the east, where Korea is situated. Koreans were champion
archers. They didn't like killing. From Manchuria they retreated to the
Korean peninsula where they settled as farmers. They loved peace. They
never attacked other countries first. Because of the invasion of
foreign forces they had to fight. But otherwise they did not attack.
God's strategy is to be hit first and then claim everything back.
Never attacking first. The characteristics of the Korean race is
patience and they worship their ancestors just like God. They raise
their children as God. Even if Korean mothers have to skip meals, they
always support their children to provide better education. Father
predicts that more and more Korean students will enter the Ivy League
schools of America. Some of the true children have already graduated
from Harvard while others are presently studying there. Hyun Jin Nim
has been accepted by Harvard Business School. Also In Jin Nim is
studying at Harvard. There are very few students who are able to make
it to Harvard. However, within true family we may have a dozen Harvard
graduates soon. Do you think that Father is a smart man? (Yes.) I don't
like smart.
Being smart always brings some trouble. If Father hears someone
saying that it took them three years to accomplish something, Father
immediately responds that he could do it in three days. Recently we
opened an Exhibition in São Paulo for ten days. It was open to
the entire nation of Brazil to come to view this Exhibition. People
there were speechless. Even Father himself was surprised when he saw
the Exhibition. In reality, what we exhibit in São Paulo is only
one-fifth of what Father has accomplished.
Let us stop here. Otherwise it will take all day long. You will
become too excited and forget everything. Let us love the planet Earth.
Is that a good campaign? (Yes.) Have you tried it? (Yes.) In the past,
have you been loving the planet Earth? That is the question. The planet
Earth is the masterpiece of God's creation and so we must love the
Earth just as God does. There are so many various colors of clay. It is
so soft to the touch. Actually, women's cosmetics could be manufactured
from the soil. It would be very healthy. Father is considering using
pure clay to make a bath preparation. By soaking in such a preparation
you could become much healthier. In a business sense Father might
promote this idea. The soil contains all the elements of nutrition that
we absorb through our food. If we use the original source in our
bathtub we can absorb it that way also. Let us love the earth. (Yes.)
Repeat after Father. [Father has everyone repeat a Korean phrase]
Since you have proclaimed this here today, then whenever you walk in
the city streets you have to claim that the concrete and asphalt
streets and sidewalks are your enemies. You have to seek the pure soil.
Who created this asphalt culture? The so-called civilized cultures. Was
it urban or rural dwellers who destroyed the environment the most? The
cities of the world are like evil castles surrounded by walls. If
Father says that the so-called civilized city dwellers are the cause of
the destruction of the environment, is it true? (Yes.) The pollution is
mainly caused by city dwellers. Immorality and the destruction of
moral standards is also the result of urban life. Within cities every
individual cell is divided by concrete walls. No matter what happens
out in the world, city dwellers stay distant from it and pursue their
selfish desires. Therefore, cities are Satan's palaces.
The children who grow up within these cities play with plastic toys
and animals. There is no animated communication between these children
and their toys. Whereas children who grow up in the countryside
experience animated give and take with the actual creation. They learn
about the various types of creatures, all the various colors of birds
and animals. If you feed the birds regularly every morning then
hundreds of different kinds of birds will come and expect to be fed by
you. In South America Father experienced this. Within the rural life
everything is available to us, because God is the master of that world.
Who is the owner, Adam or Eve? (Adam.)
When Father was growing up he felt he had to conquer every aspect of
creation. Once Father caught a mother bird and three baby birds
together and kept them in his house. At that point Father didn't
realize that there was a father bird. All of a sudden the father bird
appeared and began to cry in a sad voice. When this father bird looked
at Father, he cried even more sadly because True Father was the
destroyer of this bird's family. Then Father released the birds, one by
one. The sad tone of the father bird's song lessened. Finally, when all
three baby birds were released this father bird seemed content. But
when the mother bird was released then the whole family of birds
greeted Father and then flew away. How did Father know that they came
and greeted him? Because they circled Father's house and then flew
away. (Ooh.) Ooh! (Laughter.)
Father is sharing one small experience with you here. Please
remember this when you are thinking of giving plastic toys to your
children. They cannot experience something like Father has shared with
you through plastic toys. During his youth in Korea Father touched
every kind of creature you can think of. If Father gets involved in
telling stories such as these there will be no end to it. But Father
will share one more experience. One day Father saw a big perch fish in
a small deep pond. Father realized that this was the biggest perch he
had seen and determined to catch it. It took Father forty days, day and
night, until he finally caught that fish.
Father has caught almost every species of fish in the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans. In South America Father was told that in one
particular area there were over 3,600 species of fish. This is now
Father's challenge to catch all of them. You have to be grateful that
Father is doing so. Because eventually Father will build fish farms for
over 360 different species of fish. Then your children will benefit
from this. By studying this, many different Ph.D.'s can be created by
your children. Therefore, would you like to see Father stop fishing in
South America or continue for the sake of our future generations?
(Continue.) Why? Father wants to know how much love God has put into
the creation of all things.
Have you considered the various thousands and thousands of shades of
colors within the creation? There is no single fish which cannot sing
in South America. That is the reality. Do you want to go there? (Yes.)
If you want to go to South America with Father, you have to do fishing
every single day for three years. Will you still say you want to come?
(Yes.) You are crazy! Do you think we should like fishing? (Yes.) We
must not kill fish for the sake of killing. That is why Father wants to
create fish farms. We have to give love to the fish. Since Father is
the one who preaches True Love, he wants to create these fish farms all
over the world. The rest of the world is destroying the environment
without a thought for the future. However, Reverend Moon is marching
forward to create a new world, new nature, new environment.
The way of restoration is the way of recreation. The original father
lost everything. Therefore True Father is recreating everything. We are
inspired when we hear the New York City Symphony perform. However, when
you go to South America and sit in the midst of the orchestra of nature
in the early morning when the sun rises, there is no comparison. All
the farmers are able to imitate the sounds of nature. Sometimes Father
becomes confused as to whether someone is actually singing or not. Then
when he looks it is a frog. (Laughter) Being in the middle of nature
your five senses are stimulated to blend and mingle with everything.
The subject and object relationship, male and female, always exists
within creation. This is an absolute formula. All created beings have a
pair system. The five organs of created beings also consist in a pair
system. Also, within our relationships there is the subject and object
relationship at work. Centering upon myself, there is my spouse, my
children and my parents. Centering upon the ideal relationship we can
build an ideal family. Father and son, husband and wife, brothers and
sisters. This is the three objective purpose. No one wants to become an
orphan. We all need our brothers and sisters, our parents, our spouse
and children. This is the model for the family.
Parents and children should become one at this point. [Father draws
a diagram indicating this on the board] Husband and wife should become
one at this point. Brothers and sisters should be united at this point.
Children grow up to the level of bride and bridegroom and then they
marry. Once we reach this level, God will come down from the invisible
world and dwell with us. God Himself consists of plus and minus, sung
sang and hyung sang. Adam and Eve are in the position of plus and
minus, sung sang and hyung sang. This center point represents plus and
minus combined at the physical level. Then God who has plus and minus
within Himself will come down vertically and join them at this point.
God can be in the position of ancestor to the children, the couples,
and the parents. God is vertically connected to all these levels of the
horizontal world. No matter what level we refer to, God is always in
the subject position.
God is the seed of your parents, tribe, nation, world and universe.
From the vertical view there are eight different levels. Once we reach
this level centered upon God [indicating to the diagram] then we can
travel back and forth in complete freedom. In Adam's family the father
figure was God. The center remains always one. No matter how many
levels there are, the axis is unchanging. The children should revolve
180 degrees around their mother in unity. The central position of
father cannot be replaced. However, the position of mother can be
replaced. The position of the mother is 360 degrees surrounding the
father. Do you understand, you American women? All of you have to climb
up the husband's ladder in order to reach God. The father is
responsible for the mother and the children. Once your family is
totally united then the nation should become responsible for the
family. Once such nations exist all throughout the world, the King of
kings should be responsible for all of these nations.
When this system in the world is naturally transferred to Heaven
then it will become the Kingdom of Heaven in Heaven. Once we experience
this life in this physical world, when we enter the spiritual world we
share God's blood and flesh. No matter how difficult it might be, don't
just follow your mother. However, in the Western world we don't see the
kind of tradition that Father is describing. In Korea such a tradition
exists. Once the family tree is set up following the elder son's
lineage, no matter how young the elder son of your family might be, all
of the uncles from the second son's lineage will have to respect this
elder son's lineage. The axis is only one.
Therefore, the mother and children all have to climb up the father's
ladder to reach a higher dimension. If the entire family becomes united
then together they will climb up the ladder of the national king. Then
they will climb up the ladder of the King of kings at the world level.
Then finally they will climb up to God. The only thing that we have to
care about is the seed of life following this vertical line. The seed
is important but the mother is like a 360 degree floating figure. The
mother represents a field waiting for the seed to be sown. Therefore
the wife has to absolutely follow the husband.
If you are abandoned by your father and mother you can turn to your
grandparents or your uncles and aunts. We need this hierarchy. This is
the structure of the elder son's lineage. American women may feel that
Father's explanation of life gives them no value whatsoever. Women are
like a receiving basket. The basket is empty. Your value will be
determined by the contents you hold within your basket. Father suggests
that you utilize your beautiful face, well developed bosom and hips and
produce as many precious children as possible. That is your value. Do
you want to have only one child? (More.) Would you exchange your
children for tons of gold? (No.) Would you like to possess only one or
two gold bars? (More.) Suppose you are in the position of the prince
with twelve different nations under your leadership. Would you like to
send your own twelve sons to rule those nations or your slaves? (Sons.)
If you have plenty of sons to send to those twelve nations then those
nations will prosper and have good relations with you. The kings of
history usually had more than one wife in order to have many princes to
rule their nations. In that sense which way should we go? Should we
have more sons or more daughters? Sons are able to produce the seed of
life.
In terms of raising children, if you have only daughters it takes
only a few toys and they will be content. Also a daughter would stay in
a room all day long if you placed her there. Whereas boys are never
content with toys. They will go out and chase after all kinds of
animals. They are trouble makers. Those wives who raise many sons will
naturally possess the right and power to control their husbands. That
is true. This is a revolutionary philosophy. Then shall we follow this
path? (Yes.) All of you might understand what Father has taught you
now, but before you reach your home you will have forgotten it.
As a mother, if you produce twelve princes and hold them in your
basket then your King will greet you every morning with a bow saying,
"My dear Queen, Good morning." That is the way you are able to conquer
even the King. When you offer some room in your basket for the King to
come in, he will immediately jump inside. That is the way that you can
mature yourself to reach the most valuable position. Even better than
your grandmother and mother, you will become the best mother and wife.
You will be able to offer your lap to all twelve of your sons, and even
your King will sleep in your lap. How happy you would feel. That is why
God created women's bodies with many cushions. He wants to see His
children embraced in this comfortable cushioned areas of woman's body.
Also God Himself wanted to be embraced by woman. That is why God
created woman, His most beautiful creation, last of all. Amen. (Amen.)
It is almost lunch time. That is why you seem to have lost your power.
When Father gives such a compliment to women then you all have to shout
out as loud as possible. (AMEN.)
We have all declared that we will love the earth from today on. Are
you all ready to love the air? (Yes.) This is the way in which you show
your appreciation to the air. [Father demonstrates by making a kissing
sound] (Laughter) Without the air you are not able to live for even
five minutes. Imagine our fate if all the air in the universe went on
strike for thirty minutes because human beings didn't show
appreciation. How powerful air is. Have you truly loved and praised the
value of air? (No.) Imagine the degree of happiness and joy God felt
when He created air. He knew this was the substance that His love
partners would need to live. If you wake up in the early morning before
sunrise in a high mountain and try to breathe as much air as you can,
then without even eating breakfast you will feel sustained.
Let us love the air. Repeat after Father. [Father has everyone
repeat after him in Korean] What shall we do in order to love air? We
have to plant trees. Unification Church members have a duty to plant
twelve trees every year. Just like having twelve children. If we plant
twelve trees a year, in ten years that is 120 trees. If we live for 100
years, before we die we will have planted 1,200 trees. If you cannot do
such a simple task then your life is not worth living. Will you do so?
(Yes.) Let us love the fresh air.
Trees produce oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. Whereas human
beings take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. When you look at the
big animals they all live in the midst of trees. We can solve the
problem of pollution through tree planting also. There is a common
principle that human beings should be able to maintain a higher quality
of life than animals, fish and other species of creation. In the world
of fish, the salmon practices the best love relationship. Therefore,
Father pays attention to salmon. Father wants to label Unification
Church couples as salmon families. Once the salmon eggs hatch, they
grow and travel to the ocean about 5,000 miles within the open ocean.
In four to six years they all return to the original place they were
hatched. They return to their home love site. It is amazing!
They return to the cold waters of Alaska, where during the months of
August, September and October there are not even insects available for
the hatched baby salmon. Therefore, the parent fish sacrifices itself
and dies there so that the newly hatched babies can feed on the
parents' own flesh. That is the life of the salmon. Human beings, as
the highest created being, should maintain a higher quality of life
than the salmon do. Even in the bird kingdom, there are certain birds
that, when the female dies, the male bird dies with her. The power of
love is that great. How about human beings? Man is the True Love
owner. We should become superior to the rest of creation. Don't you
agree? (Yes.)
By observing nature we can learn such precious lifestyle. In
Father's own life he didn't discover the truth through the Bible, but
rather through observing nature. The origin of the creation of the
universe is the male and female relationship. The entire universe is
derived from this male and female relationship. Before the male and
female concept came into being there existed the concept of love. The
sexual organ exists for the sake of love. Only by becoming one through
the sexual organs, can man and woman conquer God. The universe
originated from vertical and horizontal love. That means up, down,
front, rear, right, left, centered upon the family. This is the center
of love, the place where God desires to dwell.
This is the place where God Himself desires to dwell. Centering upon
the concept of parents, every member of the family desires to become
one. Upon this unifying point the family exists. This happy home place
is the beginning of the Kingdom of Heaven. This is not a concept. This
is reality. Do you want to live in the countryside or the city?
(Countryside.) Everything flows harmoniously in the countryside. Air
can flow as water flows. Love flows in the same way. There are no
obstacles which love cannot penetrate. Nothing can stop it. It has no
boundaries.
You all love True Father no matter what race you may belong to. If
Father calls you to go to Africa with him you will follow. Is that
true? (Yes.) Those of you who were matched by picture, show your hands
to Father. You are all crazy people. (Laughter.) In the secular world
people live with one another for six months or one year and are still
uncertain as to whether they should marry or not. But you marry just by
picture. How pure and genuine you are. It is like an innocent child who
takes anything that the mother gives without even thinking. What
beautiful children you are. You are the love race.
Through the past forty years Father has been working without
realizing fully what has been happening. Now suddenly he realizes that
the entire world is within his grasp. Father's conclusion this morning
is that city life is the cause of pollution, destruction of the
environment, and the cause of neglect and famine. The cities of the
world are Satan's hell palace. Until now, people have thought that it
was more beneficial and convenient to dwell in cities. However, the
time has come when we can secure the same comforts and benefits by
living in the countryside. There fresh air is available and clean water
flows and nature surrounds us. The wilderness welcomes us.
Compared to South Americans you are all much better off. Therefore
you are responsible to feed your African and South American brothers
and sisters.
Father believes that if America can share one-third of its national
wealth with the rest of the world, then the entire world will prosper.
If Americans don't do so, then Unificationists will be mobilized to do
it. Will you do this? (Yes.) Why? In order to restore and save your
tribe and nation of America. Will you do so? (Yes.) Those who do not
wish to participate in Father's campaign, show your hands. Those of you
who are willing to do so, show your hands. Father has put both
questions to you. Therefore, those of you who have shown your hands to
Father cannot complain in the future.
You have no excuse now because Father gave you a choice. When Father
looks at your raised hands, he sees a tumultuous and difficult path
ahead of you. Your life with your spouse might mean working hard for
eight physical years for God and humanity, with not even enough money
to buy a nice chest of drawers. However, when God looks at you He sees
you as the patriots of your country, the saints of the world, and the
holy sons and daughters of God. Therefore, that is all that you need.
If you devote your entire family for the sake of God you will become
qualified to be called holy sons and daughters.
Do all of you like True Father? (Yes.) Do you wish to resemble your
True Father? (Yes.) Then you have to know that Father is the one who
has paid the most indemnity. His life course was most difficult and he
received the most persecution. Father was imprisoned many times. He
knows well the life inside the prison. Each time that Father was
imprisoned, within a week he usually converted all of the inmates who
became like Father's disciples. While they were in the prison they all
tried to give food they received from their relatives to Father first.
When Father was in Danbury, within one year almost all of the inmates
respected Father. When each of the inmates were about to be discharged
from the prison, they would bring all of the precious things they had
accumulated and politely offer them to Father.
When it was time for Father to be released from the prison, all of
the other prisoners prepared themselves for one week to see Father off.
Finally when the day came, all two hundred inmates lined up in front of
Danbury prison to try to see Father off. However, the prison officers
were afraid of a commotion and so at early dawn they opened the back
door and quietly led Father out. Wherever Father may go he is always
surrounded by some degree of controversy. Is Father a good trouble
maker or a bad trouble maker? (Good trouble maker.) Very good. Father
is the most persecuted individual. However, he never tired of it and
has never given up. He continues to march forward no matter what.
True Father is now almost eighty years of age. This morning he has
been standing here many hours even though he just recently returned
from a long flight from South America. Father has strong spiritual
power. Again, do you want to live in the city or the countryside?
(Countryside.) If we love God and His creation and if we desire to
become God's children, we have to return to nature and offer our love
and care as much as God has poured His love and care into His creation.
If you continuously follow a fly it will lead you to all the smelly
places. That doesn't mean that every smelly place is bad. Something
good might also be hidden there.
Often lazy people like to sit in the shady places and take a nap.
Therefore, God provided all of these insects to come and wake them up.
They are all necessary. Some people question why God created poisonous
snakes. Without them, other creatures would move freely to eat frogs
and other creatures, creating a disturbance in the natural order. This
enables various species to survive. If there were no poisonous snakes
in the woods then the boys from the surrounding villages might overrun
and kill all the small creatures in the woods. Therefore, Father
concludes that even snakes are necessary for the balance of nature.
In the twenty-first century, maybe an unknown disease will erupt
within humanity for which there is no cure. Then maybe only the venom
of poisonous snakes will be able to cure that disease. For example,
Koreans eat snake meat. Traditionally, they have learned that poisonous
snakes contain certain elements which can cure various diseases and
enhance the health. Westerners don't like this idea at all. However,
dogs are also eaten in Korea. Also, Father wants you to remember that
snakes mate with one another for seventy-one hours at one time. Whereas
dogs mate for forty-five minutes at one time.
One of the reason why Korean men favor eating snake and dog meat is
to gain power when making love to their wives. All created beings can
be used for medicinal purposes. Within the creation there is always
plus and minus, beginning with a small plus and minus which will be
encompassed by a larger plus and minus. As individuals we have within
us plus and minus, but the nation of America would be in the position
of plus and we would be in the position of minus. Therefore we have to
assimilate and support this American system. By the same token, if we
go to Germany we have to mingle with the German environment. The
environment always contains the elements of plus and minus. In the
sense of reciprocal relationship there is always plus and minus.
This is the principle of the recreation of the world. Just as when
man and woman become one, they should become object to God. We become
one with the creation, then together become object to God. Father goes
to the place where there is original soil, clean sunshine, unpolluted
water and fresh air. Centering around the four nations of Argentina,
Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, Father sees a great future for the
Paraguay River. Eventually that will expand to the Amazon River. There
we have plenty of water to do agriculture and create fish farms. This
is the place where we can solve the four major problems that the world
is now facing. We have to clean the water. Through planting many trees
we can clean the air. Unpolluted vegetables and foods can be produced
from such clean, pure soil. By following the will and expectation of
God, we who live in that kind of environment will create a moral
society. There will be no problem of immorality.
Also, there are plans to establish an educational system from
elementary school all the way through to the level of universities.
High school graduates will come there to be trained how to earn money
to support themselves as well as continue their studies. Then
eventually they can pursue various degrees. They will all devote
themselves to solving the four major problems that the world is now
facing. Enough manpower has been secured throughout the world to be
able to bring any experts in various fields there. Father also plans to
establish the best research center covering four major fields. 1)
Through the study of agriculture we will develop the ideal environment
there; 2) through agriculture we will be able to produce unpolluted
soil and food; 3) we will create an ideal society which will be free
from immorality, to resemble God; and 4) we will provide enough
technology and food to rescue the people of the world who are dying of
starvation.
The countries of the Far East are able to produce a rice crop only
once a year. However, in Brazil we are able to harvest rice three times
a year. We can constantly rotate the crops and sow and harvest year
round. The sweet potatoes grow bigger than the size of a man's head.
There is no winter season and so crops just keep on growing. There is a
particular plant root that tastes like the potato. It grows so easily
and readily in that particular region. Even so there are people living
down in Brazil who are dying of starvation. They are in need of
leadership. America has a big responsibility. Finally, True Parents
have appeared to humankind and have trained people over the past twenty
years in the skills of fishing and sailing. Fishing ports should be
redeveloped once again. They should be developed in the area of sports
fishing as well as fish farms. These fishing ports should develop the
surrounding land and plant trees and also grow food.
Centered upon the Amazon and Paraguay rivers, there is plenty of
land awaiting the owners who can develop the land properly in order to
save the entire humanity. This is the reason why Father has been
focusing on South America. It is Father's desire to offer his help to
those people living in the remote countryside who have nowhere else to
turn. By establishing these research centers, model farms, and other
facilities we will be able to assist people to become more educated and
have dominion over their environment. At the same time we will be able
to help the city dwellers by bringing them to this countryside where
they will be able to enjoy their lives in a pure sense. This is why
Father has been focusing his attention upon South America in order to
build the ideal global village where we can train people to enhance the
quality of life of humankind.
Would you all like to go to the place where there is plenty of fresh
air, unpolluted water, unpolluted soil and sunshine, or would you
rather live in the inner cities with all the garbage and pollution?
(The first one.) Therefore from now on, the Unification Church second
and third generation children should live their lives in the
countryside, from kindergarten through high school level. (Applause.)
After they complete high school they may go any place to complete their
college degree. After completing college, they may go any place they
choose to live. They have to be able to travel freely the rest of their
lives.
God's purpose of creation is that the entire world should become an
ideal place that can receive anybody, anytime who can contribute to
that place and then move on. In this way we don't have to be confined
within the inner cities. The time has come when we no longer need a big
Ivy League campus building in order to be well educated. It no longer
takes New York City for us to gain the richness of cultural activities.
You simply need one computer in the remote countryside. Simply click
onto the Internet and you will be connected to the entire world.
Through this system you will be able to obtain all the cultural and
educational benefits that you need. Everything is at your fingertips.
Whatever piece of art that you want to observe or cultural
performance you wish to see, you can do so through the Internet and
enjoy as much as those sitting in the theater. Why do we have to bother
with the frustrations of commuting in the rush hour in cities like New
York. Rather we can do whatever work we desire to do anywhere in the
countryside. There are so many young people who waste their lives
within the inner cities. They get themselves involved in so many evil
things. Therefore, Father intends to create many places to hunt and
fish around these inner cities. There is already established such a
place close to Washington, DC so that young people can be attracted
away from the city to the hunting and fishing grounds in the
countryside. Once they enjoy this kind of life, then we can convince
them to leave the city completely. Then we can go to the wilderness and
climb mountains and fish in the Amazon River. This is how we can draw
young people out from the cities and send them to the farmlands.
Once Father establishes this as a formula, then even after Father
joins the spiritual world, young Unification Church leaders should take
up this mission and build an ideal world based upon Father's formula.
Amen? (Amen.) However, this course will be tough. All Unification women
must learn how to operate a boat, how to repair a boat, how to water
ski and other water sports so that you can train the young people when
they come. You all need to stand in the position of mothers to these
young people. Isn't Father's face sun tanned? (Yes.) In the tropical
regions the dark tanned face is your pride. If your face is white you
have to go away. The white race are the descendants of polar bears.
Their ancestors were Viking pirates. Wherever the white race goes there
is always bloodshed.
Where do you want to live? When you reach your fifties and sixties
and you retire, if you remain in the city you will become suffocated.
Eventually you will have to travel to the ideal village which we have
established and spend the rest of your life with nature and contribute
as much as possible. Breathe and mingle with nature.
Then end your life with nature and go and join God in the spiritual
world. That will become the course of your life. Amen? (Amen.) This is
a hobby lifestyle which God likes. You never become tired. This is the
highest lifestyle of humankind. Those who want to pursue such a
lifestyle, show your hands to Father. What beautiful fingers and hands!
(Laughter.) God bless all of you. Amen. (Amen.) (Applause.)
Let us pray.
