INTERNATIONAL LEADERS MEETING
Soo Taek Ri, Kuri City, Korea
February 15, 2000
Simultaneous translation by Rev. Jin Seung Eu and Mr. Andy Lausberg;
unofficial notes by Tyler Hendricks
A new age starts today. As of my 80th birthday, indemnity in
restoration is over and the millennium kingdom ... Those who can
participate in the first resurrection are those who can enter the
millennial kingdom. We should live with a new spirit. Your life habits
and standards cannot be used any more. The new words [i.e. Father's
words] are something you can use to fight against Satan. These words
are a record of victory. You should become an embodiment of these words
and along with them you should go together with your country and world,
become one with them and follow the straight path centered on God. The
right path is one direction, centered on God in the realm of heart.
The realms of heart encompass the entirety of the new age. The second
[advent?] has come and the realms of heart have been established in the
eight stages. Everything is included in these realms of heart. True Adam
and Eve are the fruit of these realms of heart. When they become one,
the realms of heart start, and they expand centered on the tribe, nation
and world. The tribal realm of heart goes into the national realm of
heart. So you should become the representatives of the realms of heart
on each level. You should establish the model of heart on each level.
Because of the fall, all these realms separated. We should make them
one, from the individual to the family, tribe, country and world. They
should be connected centered on the root. The family of Adam and Eve
who have overcome Satan's word has emerged on the world stage. The way
of the filial son, patriot and saint are connected in order to make a
unified realm of heart.
Now is the transitional age. Being a blessed family means that
one represents the unfallen Adam and Eve whom God has been trying
to restore for thousands of years. You will inherit the victorious
foundation by having absolute faith, love and obedience. You cannot
practice satanic habits anymore. This is a turning point centered on
True Parents liberating heaven and earth and completing the ideal of
the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. You have been elevated to that stage,
without any merit of your own. Adam and Eve have no merit of their own,
but when they become perfect they are object partners of God's love. So
by cutting off everything you inherit everything on all eight stages,
starting with the individual. You are connected to that for free.
On the levels of individual, family and tribe you are like central
people; you are the seed of each age. Although you are different as
individuals you all recognize True Parents' standard of value. I have
to speak rapidly, because there is not enough time. Record my words
and see if they are right or wrong. The blessed families are the fruit
of the cosmic providence of blessing. Now is the age of the kingdom,
in which we can fulfill all our responsibilities. In the past we talked
of American professors and scholars; this is not necessary now. All we
need are the True Parents, the parents of heaven and earth.
I have a foundation in every field in the heavenly world. I want to
bequeath all this to you. Don't even think about your satanic past and
connections. Just unite with True Parents, become the embodiment of the
world, go over the realm of judgement and reach resurrection. The hoon
dok hae gatherings are important, liberating people from the individual
to every level. All the people of the world can enter into the Kingdom
of Heaven this way. Because we have found these values, let us keep
absolute faith, love and obedience and go into the Kingdom of Heaven on
Earth. Then we can connect with the absolute life, love and lineage and
can freely move.
In order to do this, we declare the Federation of the Cosmic True
Parents. In the Old Testament Age and New Testament Age, humankind had
two masters. The parents were under persecution and in the satanic
ages they could not settle themselves. We established the realm of
liberation of heaven and earth, and so our families can settle in the
Kingdom of Heaven.
The Old Testament Age and New Testament Age were striving to restore
one family. Can you say, "I will be responsible to perfect all these
realms up to the cosmic level"? That family is one whose value is millions
of times that of an ordinary family. We should perfect the original values
of the family millions of times in our own family. This is really amazing.
Everything will be included in the realm of liberation. In the Bible it
says that the last will be the first. The last page will be the first
page in the book, Adam and Eve. We should be the masters of our family,
have pride, and be filial children to God and lead the age of the great
turning point, the age of the great turning point. [Father said it twice.]
Jesus wanted to hold the wedding supper of the lamb. He had no
country. He died because Cain and Abel could not become one. If
Catholicism and Protestantism become one, it will save Jesus from
death. Left and right cannot fight but must become one to save
Jesus. Left, right, south and north; all should become one, centered on
the realms of heart. The Arab and communist worlds represent the satanic
realm. In the Holy Communion we eat and drink the flesh and blood of
Jesus, and the blood and flesh become one with us symbolically.
If Jesus had not died, Israel and the Arabs would have become one
and created a unified world over which Jesus would have been the king
of kings. But his flesh and spirit separated because of the failure. Now
the True Parents are alive and are trying to unite Cain and Abel while
they are alive.
We should find the mother on the levels of individual and family. This
is the Holy Spirit. The [spiritual] Holy Spirit and the substantial
Holy Spirit should become one as the mother. This should give rise to
the individual, family and tribe and bring a great transformation in
the lineage. So you should have absolute faith in me and mother.
Three generations should be blessed and form a four position
foundation. Do you understand? You don't have your parents in your
hometown. You don't have your tribe or your country there. They are
somewhere else, some other place. We lost the nation and the family and
became isolated, all alone. We became so sorrowful as to commit suicide,
but we cannot kill ourselves. Thus we have to start from the bottom
of hell and raise ourselves up. Then we go over finally to the direct
dominion of God.
We are now standing on top of the world. We should create absolute
value on the foundation of inheriting True Parents' victory, so this
is the great turning point. The Federation of Cosmic True Parents means
that the True Parents are at the top of the cosmos. They can go directly
to God. It took thousands of years to restore to this point, but now we
can go up directly on the vertical path. Satan cannot accuse now. From
the center we go up on a vertical line. Kwak Chung Hwan, Hwang Sun Jo,
Yang Chang Shik, do you understand? Everyone should follow the contents
spoken at this 80th birthday. You should understand how the 300 volumes
of my speeches flow as a whole.
I should move all the leaders. I have many memories of working hard
with you, memories of working in the past age of indemnity. Now we just
have to read my words. They contain all the saints' patriotism and hard
work and put you in the center of that love. If you serve a good teacher,
then you will be a good teacher; if you serve a good master, you will be a
good master. All humanity has been elevated to the position to be able to
go into God's heart all at once. Let us celebrate singing songs together.
Koreans, raise your hands. Korea includes Japan and America. This
is the homeland, the vertical [environment]. You can supervise
everything. "New Koreans" that means everyone, raise your hands. Those
who speak only English are like captives or hostages. You have to speak
English because you learned it, but they should learn Korean. Those
who do not know or speak Korean, raise your hands, high. Do you raise
your hands low because you are ashamed? Sankuk is a Korean curse. Is it
good or bad? It is a curse. It means something like bad children and bad
parents. Wake up! I don't have a teacher. Who is my teacher? I am my own
teacher. God has not been my teacher. He has not been able to teach me. I
taught myself and I made myself True Parents and a master. If God could
have done it by Himself, He would have long ago, but it didn't happen.
From today, I change all your names. Will you be a Moon? Do you want
your family name to be Moon, or Han, or Cha? What do you want your family
name to be? Moon means "sacrificial altar," according to the Chinese
characters. It has a level top and legs. It means unification of heaven
and earth. At the altar you shed your blood. The Chinese character
for father looks like a drunken person, tilted to one side. So if he
goes to the altar it will be a problem. Then they become one and start
unification. Say, "family Moon." If you say Moon-ssi, you mean "seed of
the moon" [a play on words]. Pak-ssi means Pak family and also "seed of
Pak." Do you want to be a Moon? Where do you want to attach it? At the
front or at the back, as Americans do? Americans have the family name
at the end, and Easterners have it at the head. Americans have it at the
end, signifying that they are following. It should not be Sun Myung Moon,
but Moon Sun Myung.
The East will go to the top and the West to the bottom. [Father
explains the different hand motions for going and coming.] They compliment
each other. In the West you creep, the western greeting is as if to
an animal; the East respects the ancestors' vertical connection. The
western way is to know only the spouse and family. This ruins the order
of God. Ethical corruption came from America. It is all upside down. Do
you want to hold the moon in the left or right hand? [The right.] So
westerners [Father speaks to one sister], what is your name? [Moon.] No,
no, no, your old name. [Kristina.]
There is something on the top of Buddha's head, and on the top of
a pyramid. It is the fruit. Your family name should be on your forehead
or on top of your head. Do you want to be a Moon from now on? Is there
a difference between the satanic moon and heavenly moon? Reverend Moon
is a strong sound, with a harsh breath. You put it on top of your head
and everything likes it. You can go over anything, all the indemnity and
whatever. Those here are all leaders, right? Did newly blessed people come
here? You leaders are not so handsome, but you are still leaders. What
kind of leaders are you? Can you lead as my representatives? The tree
has a bud, leaves and trunk and leads to a seed. You become a seed
representing me.
There are many levels of leaders. Those who think you are Unification
Church leaders, raise your hands. Those who think they are NOT Unification
Church leaders, stand up. (Just a few.) You are like spies. Only leaders
are supposed to be here. Now, those who are determined to become leaders
of the Unification Church, raise your hands and say, mansei. Mansei is
more precious than hallelujah. Mansei represents liberation. If you do
not want to die, teach them Korean. [To the Japanese:] You need to know
the language of the parents and elder son. Then you will know all three
languages and you can handle everything.
Everyone needs the father's language and that of the mother
nation. Then it is no problem to connect the three nations. If you can
speak Korean, you should at least be able to understand English and
Japanese, so you can work together. Rev. Yang, did you bring it? It
took 90 minutes to read these the last time; that is too much time. So
read the two speeches. One is The
Cosmos is My Hometown and Fatherland and the other is Everybody Wants True Love.
[Dr. Yang started preparing to read the speeches.]
We did not know who the master of love is. Marriage is a woman making a
man the master of love and a man making a woman the master of love. This
is husband and wife. They didn't know this simple truth. You can unify
heaven and earth with this simple truth. So I will be speaking in the
stadiums throughout the country, from the last week of this month, and
I want to make a big banquet and bring all the sisters from throughout
the country and give them big awards. There are no women who do not like
me. I will bring them to the women's kingdom around the country. We want
to unify heaven and earth and women are the ones to go in first.
Dr. Yang, just read the two speeches. Cosmos means the house of love. A
house contains everything we need. This is the house in which God can
rest and dwell and handle everything in the world with the authority of
True Parents. It is my house and my wife's house. The wife's true love
house is the husband and the husband's true love house is the wife,
and the children's true love house is the parents and the parents'
true love house is the children.
[Dr. Yang reads almost all of North
South Unification and World Unification Will Be Accomplished by True
Love, the speech Father gave on February 10 at True Parents'
Birthday Celebration, Olympic Gymnastic Stadium.]
Father: Please read the entirety of these speeches
by yourselves, because they are very important, having been
delivered on the victorious foundation. You can use these words
to accomplish an explosion of heart. The next speech we will read
is The Cosmos is My Hometown and
Fatherland
[Dr. Yang explains about the February 2 event at which Father delivered
this speech. We gave awards to leaders from all over America. 120
congressmen were there, and there was a lot of media coverage. These
words also were read on February 10 at the Lotte Hotel, at the opening
banquet of WCSF 2000. Then Dr. Yang read almost all of the speech.]
Father: By oneself, one cannot perfect the internal
path. Setting on that standard of unification, we accomplish
perfection. Rev. Kwak, please report about the last few days.
Rev. Kwak: For almost ten years we have been holding the WCSF,
an event that summarizes and brings together all the accomplishment of
True Parents' worldwide providence. And also it is to build the culture
of true love and true families. And it serves to bring True Parents
to the attention of the world. In conjunction with True Father's 80th
birthday and True Mother's 57th birthday, we held the 4th WCSF, which
was a real blessing. I will talk about two major fruits of this birthday
celebration and WCSF.
First, as the fruit of the WCSF and the 80th birthday, by grace, we
have established two organizations at the center of the providence. True
Father has been talking about making these during hoon dok hae, but to
make it concrete he directed that we establish them at the time of the
400 million couple blessing. So, on February 13 at the banquet, True
Father announced the two organizations being established. The first is
"The Family House of the Federation for Peace and Unification." [Ed. Note:
The translation of the title of this organization was never clear to me;
it was never formally, carefully announced, at least at that meeting.] It
doesn't have cosmos, whereas in Korean there is cosmos. It is the party
of the house. It is to educate all humanity who has entered this great
age of transformation. Humankind's destiny is to receive this education,
and so this is the mission that this House undertakes.
The second organization is "The Cosmic True Parents Federation." This
federation literally means that the center of the new age of
transformation is the True Parents. All authority, knowledge and habits
have lost their meaning before True Parents. Through True Parents,
they will receive new meaning. For this history, the federation will
be the center of all organizations. Father internally, in the spirit
world, made the condition to establish this. But because he had to
declare it historically, he gathered leaders of all fields and declared
it to them when they were all together, amid their celebration and
congratulations. That's why Father chose this occasion to announce these
new organizations.
Now we are in a new age. These organizations will play the central
role leading us to carry out our responsibilities in the new age. The
organizations we had so far belonged to the age of indemnity. They
were subject to Satan's accusation. These two new ones, on the other
hand, belong to the new age. The new age is that in which we can serve
True Parents along with humanity and all things in harmony and with
substance. We can take care of and manage everything relating to the
progress of history and God's providence, centering on True Parents. I
expect Father will clarify the relationship between the two organizations
over the coming days. The Federation will have members. It is a basic
organization with us as members, and through this organization in the
family we try to develop our character to resemble that of True Parents
and serve and attend True Parents. So the House of Unification has the
function of education, providing education to all the people and to
us. It is the education of how to be True Parents as the true master of
true love, the true parents of true love, and the true teacher of true
love. True Parents, who are such people, spread education according
to this ideal. So we established this with famous people from around
the world. The declaration was read, then all the people signed it.
The center of the declaration or resolution was something to this effect:
First is True Parents' vision for world peace and its importance,
centering on True Parents and true love. This presupposes that they
realize the importance of Father's teaching about True Parents. Second,
True Parents are the only ones in human history who have realized the true
ideal of God. We believe that they are the ones who have substantiated
and realized God's ideal. Third, we recognize the need and support
education centered on the values of holiness and sacredness of the
family and marriage and all these ideals. We pledge to become small
True Parents and spread this education to the society and world. This
was an amazing declaration that they signed. So, let's welcome all of
this with a round of applause to return glory to God and True Parents.
Next, through the birthday and WCSF, you all realize that we have
broken down the wall and experienced the inspiration. From the opening
banquet, we did not have enough seats, because there were so many guests
from overseas. Many people from Korea could not participate; I'm sorry
about that. You can see the video in the future.
Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo offered the opening prayer. This has great
symbolic meaning. So far, the papacy has not had the right attitude toward
True Parents, but now their representative offered this prayer. This
amazed the reporters and other Catholics from other countries. Archbishop
Milingo is from the Vatican City, so they were amazed and realized that
this is not a small event. He offered a benediction at the last blessing
and his attitude now has developed tremendously. The National Messiah
of Italy, Rev. Song, set many conditions to bring him. So he has come
close to True Parents. From the depth of his heart he respects True
Parents' words, so he is taking this bold step to pray for the dinner
despite opposition. Insects came uninvited to make trouble for him. The
reporters asked strange questions, but he overcame all the challenges
and gave the prayer confidently.
On the 11th, True Parents invited 44 guests for lunch, including
Archbishop Milingo, former Prime Minister Edward Heath, and former
President Kenneth Kaunda. They were all eating and Father was talking
to them, slapping them on their backs. Heath said that after thinking
hard, Rev. Moon speaks of the invisible world, not just the visible. So,
he concluded, Father speaks of worlds we cannot reach. These are good
words. Cardinal Milingo asked who should get married, and Father told
him that even the Pope should get married.
Father: Even God gets married, so who is the Pope?
Rev. Kwak: At 12, Emmanuel Milingo decided to be a priest and
trained himself. It was difficult to overcome temptations, but he did it
and lived a life of self-control since 12. Hence it is unimaginable for
him to think of living with a woman. There are rivers to cross before he
can do that. But he is close to Father, so he was eager to discuss world
affairs with True Father and he was happy to be close to Father. Because
he appears with confidence publicly, all the other representatives and
reporters were convinced that the Unification Church has overcome many
hills and obstacles. Now the so-called orthodox people are working
closely with Rev. Moon, and this signifies to them great progress for
our church.
Also a current head of state participated, not just by showing up
and speaking, but by listening to Father's words for 30 minutes. It is
very historic, whether you know it or not. Close to 700 VIPs were amazed.
Foreign correspondents interviewed me and I told them that a foreign head
of state was coming but they did not believe me. But they found out later
that he came and were amazed. Prime Minister Heath has attended a few
times in the past. His degree of respect for True Father in his speeches
has increased a lot. He served for 50 years in the British parliament
and became Prime Minister in 1971. During his political career world
wars broke out. He confronted Hitler. He is a historical person and
senior politician who is now returning glory to True Parents. This is
significant. It is heavenly fortune associated with the great age of
transformation. So how blessed we are and how confidently we can move,
having witnessed these great blessings.
The core of the WCSF is the blessing. How holy it is! We should never
forget the hard work and investment Father has made in this event. He
blessed the four great saints and 33 patriots and opened the gate
of blessing to the spirit world. Woo chun mun means something like
heavenly gate. This is the woo chun mun event, which means that the
spirit world is mobilized to reach us and live together with us here on
earth. Leaders of the religious denominations came forward and greeted
the participants. Four of them were allowed to speak. It is rare that
the head of denomination goes to the meeting of another religion and
gives a speech, so this is a special event in the world of religion.
Despite all these blessings, if we had not been able to fill the
stadium, the occasion would not have been so happy. Some of the staff
said that just visiting Korea and witnessing the blessing has a totally
different feeling. They wonder if we can bring so many people in any
other country. Let us applaud the chairman of the organizing committee,
Hwang Sun Jo. Last year we were just thankful for mobilization at all. But
comparing this year with that, the quality was higher this year. They did
not leave until the end, and this amazed the VIP guests. Also, the weather
turned bad just after the event was over. The VIPs wondered how True
Father picked the best day, and Father said the day fits my schedule. So
I came to realize that True Father controls the weather. [Applause.] A
foreign guest said it was amazing. The Continental Directors and Regional
Directors brought blessing candidates here, but the absolute majority
was mobilized in Korea.
Father: Rev. Kwak worked very hard, so let's give him a
big hand.
Rev. Kwak: During the event I felt that this is impossible
anywhere other than Korea. Japan is hoping to do this next year.
Father: Why should I go there? My feet do not move to Japan. No
matter how hard they pray, if God doesn't approve, it won't happen. This
is not by my own decision. Find the center then it will spread. The spirit
world also has to approve it. Your seriousness has to be greater than
mine is. Then as water flows down or air fills a vacuum, the blessing
will come to you.
Rev. Kwak: Because we've done this event before on this scale,
we don't realize how amazing it is. But listening to the foreign VIPs,
they were amazed that so many people came in the depth of winter. They
could not close their mouths. Two government ministers from Uganda said
this is something they will never forget. So if anyone speaks against
Rev. Moon's movement, they will never let them alone.
Father: How much sorrow do I have? Now is a new age, and
the great sunshine will follow us. Those who do not fulfill their
responsibility will lose their blessing. So it is a fearful time. The
heavenly fortune comes from above, not below. If you cannot attune
yourself to this, you will lose your blessing. When Adam and Eve fell,
they immediately were executed. Things that stand against the law
will be processed away. Now is the age of the second generation. The
first generation serves as a back-up wall, as the ancestors. The
second generation will go over the hill and serve as the center. So
it is time for you to use your direct children. I don't know when the
personnel change will take place. The children will have to go to the
world stage. You don't need a theological seminary as long as you can do
hoon dok hae well. So you should realize the value of hoon dok hae. Eat,
sleep and work through the grace of hoon dok hae. Don't just sit down and
pray, but focus with God's blessing. Wait and see. You can experience
this place. In the future I will try not to give so many directions,
because they are subject to accusations. You serve as a wall.
Try to make a four-position foundation of three generations:
grandparents, parents and children, representing the past, present and
future, the spirit world and physical world. Then the children receive the
love of two worlds, the spirit world and physical world. Love comes down
in a vertical line through the four-position foundation. When they grow
up they take a horizontal direction. The upper and lower lines follow
the order and turn around the central pillar through centripetal force
and embrace the whole. You become the king of the family and then you
expand to higher levels. The three perfect levels, those of the family,
nation and heaven, should be accomplished in one generation. It takes
root in the family.
What does it mean to pray? It means you connect to the center of
the universe.
Rev. Kwak: We were able to celebrate True Parents' birthday at
the palace, early on February 10. Then we moved to the Olympic Gymnastic
Stadium, then to Sejong Cultural Hall, then to the banquet at the Lotte
Hotel in the evening. We prepared a celebration at Sejong instead of
the Little Angels School because it is more public and represents the
nation. You must have felt something deep in your heart when you were
there. So we also felt deeply and determined our responsibilities and
our future path.
The birthday speech at the stadium had many shortcomings before the
heavenly standard, but by human standards it was elegant, serious and
well organized. The international president of the FFWPUI, Pres. Hwang
Sun Jo, presented the plaque to True Parents, and there was a great
exhibition at the Little Angels School. Everything went forward in a very
orderly manner. We, as well as the foreign VIPs, were very moved. At first
they were asking why we were celebrating a birthday in the midst of an
international conference. I explained as best I could, but there was a
little bit of difficulty for some people. But they could not deny True
Parents' life and accomplishments. People wanted to get a transcript of
my presentation on Father's life, and so we made 500 copies. Dan Quayle
asked for a copy.
Mr. Quayle was inspired by Father's life. He was sitting by me and
talking with me. He changed significantly over his four days here. He
gave wonderful greetings. If you announce that a former Vice-President of
the United States is here, that is pretty impressive. He seemed to have
a very good background. He deeply studied True Father's speech about
living for the sake of enemies. He is studying Father's life. He was
deeply moved at the banquet and with its theme of true love. Everyone,
including Dan Quayle, is inspired to hear Father. On the 11th, at the
opening convocation, Mr. Quayle gave a very good address. He had to leave
on the 11th but he begged me for the opportunity to greet True Parents
with a farewell. He said he couldn't just leave without doing that. I
told him that Father was not in the hotel. He became very sincere,
not just him, but many others.
The president of Korea should have come, but at least he offered
a congratulatory message. Also, the Japanese Prime Minister sent a
message of congratulations. We should be grateful. This glorifying of
True Parents is not just limited to our members, but is being done by
VIPs outside our movement. It is good to think about our future direction.
Also the birthday performance, with the traditional theme, was very
significant. I had to focus on President Wahid at the banquet on the 9th.
Regretfully, our banquet schedule overlapped with an invitation he
received to dine with President Kim at the Blue House. He didn't just
come directly to Korea, but he came here as part of his tour of several
nations. He came from India and the next day he left for Thailand. But
thankfully he kept his promise and adjusted his schedule in accordance
with our celebration schedule, even having to change his plan. He has
the widest scope among all Muslim leaders. In Indonesia, the Chinese
control the economy, but 90% of the people are Muslim. Mr. Wahid is
the head of a religious coalition. He came to Father's banquet and
gave a greeting. The reporters were amazed at his humble greeting. His
first words were apologies for being late. He said his heart was there
already. He said he totally follows the ideology of true parents, true
families and true love. He said that the problem of youth immorality
is serious in his country and that he wants to work with Reverend Moon
to solve it. This is the age in which such is possible and we are so
grateful. In relation to this birthday celebration, True Father returned
to Hannam Dong that night, and called me at 3:30 a.m. I went to see him
and Father said he was to offer a special prayer at 4 a.m. All [blessed?]
families should be organized and resurrected in order to be connected with
the spirit world, so True Father has to recognize this and pray for it.
Think of it! You would want to rest on your birthday, but even on
that day, True Father was calling me at 3:30 a.m. I don't know when he
slept or woke up as he prepared all these things. As of the birthday,
the new age will come, so he is the master of this new age. We are not
able to harmonize with this because we are not prepared; so Father wants
to established the conditions by which we can go together. To do this,
how much hard work Father had to do, even on his birthday. Because we have
True Parents, we are in the position to have entered Canaan already. This
is despite the dust we need to shake off, the obstacles and limitations
for which we should repent. We will try to raise ourselves up to be
one with True Parents' movement.
The exhibition about True Father's life at Little Angels School was
good. The foreign VIPs were amazed. They wondered how can one person do
so much? And it focused just on Father's religious activity. We should
be so grateful for the banquet celebrating the publication of the 304
volumes of speeches and all the publications worldwide, and the other
events. A congressional leader and his wife from Austria gave bouquets
to True Parents. He came thinking that he had to keep his distance from
True Father, but he realized that Father is a true representative of
Christianity when he heard about true family values. He decided that he
will cooperate with True Father and that his government should support
this activity.
There was an expert on North Korea working with a defense institute. In
the stadium he heard Father speak of forgiveness of the enemy and
true love. That night he could not sleep, because he realized that he
had treated North Korea as an enemy and that Father had such a different
attitude. There was a representative from Mali, whose father, the leader
of 3 million Muslims, had met True Father. The father died in a traffic
accident, so the son came. They are a noble family in the Arab world. He
was very moved by the event. As he was leaving, he said that he will
set in motion governmental preparation to serve True Parents. A similar
decision came from the president of the largest broadcasting company in
Nigeria, who said he will publicize everything through the media in his
country. Mike Marshall, our media staff, was asking him to send whatever
he broadcasts to us to look at. The Nigerian said, of course we have to
broadcast it; this is such a great event. He rebuked the Korean and world
media for not reporting about the blessing, telling them they are wrong
not to report it. For example, a Korean company reported that Dan Quayle
was in Korea but not that he came for Father's event. The Nigerian wanted
to go protest at the newspaper. There were many other such stories. On
this foundation, we are excited to work even harder tomorrow.
Father: Do you want to eat lunch or finish up? Are you
bored? I'm bored, myself. I'm the most bored, so I want to take a
break. I forgot whether or not I ate lunch. True Mother is waiting,
and not even 1% of what happened has been reported so far. There is
incredible content. I'm going to Cheju Island tonight, where it is
warm. I am going to look at the sea. I've been on boats for 25 years,
so I can't live without being on the sea now and then. If you want to
report, you can come there. I will pay for your flight, but if it is
not a good report, you have to repay the cost ten times over.
We are working not in a small village, but with the highest level,
the world level village. Those with heavenly fortune can work with people
in the upper village. So you should pray with devotion. When you pray
to spirit world, what is the most serious problem? It is to make the
president of your country into your disciple. Use members of the upper
and lower houses as the stage of your activity. Based on the foundation
of God's hard work, become the leader or king in your locale.
The fight between God and Satan cannot be stopped by either of
them. God hopes that we go on the top, live there, go to the bathroom
there and eat there and enjoy ourselves. The internal circulation is the
most fearful and most important. God also wants to have the circulation
of love. We want to live with God; we should make a foundation for
that. Where do you fight to take over the top? The secret to take
over the top is to have a network of communication that can embrace
the people. If the people are determined to serve our purpose and work
with us, the country will return to God. To embrace the upper village,
we have to be able to handle the lower village. So what are you going
to do? You can order the people of the upper village to come here and
go there. The opposition and ruling parties will have to listen to the
message of true love. That way, God can work in all the countries. This
is the world foundation of restoration. So, before the first world war
was the age of the head, then after World War II the age of the belly,
and now it is the age of the hands and feet, the age of workers.
Do our Unification members know the purpose of God? What kind of
unification is this? It begins with the unification of mind and body. You
only think of the top but don't understand the ultimate bottom. A tree
needs a strong root at the bottom, or it will be blown away by the wind
or eaten by worms. Unification begins with mind and body and husband
and wife. Then come the children and the family. Without the unification
of the family, I have no realm of rest, even if my mind and body are
united. The mind and body should be able to rest in the united family. So
when the people become one and the family members live for and protect
each other's environment and provide a comfortable resting-place, this
is the place of rest. The parents and children protect each other. Then
they go to the national level on the basis of the unification of mind
and body and family.
How many children do I have? I had 13 children in twenty years. At
that rate, how many would I have in thousands of years? I have the power
to go over many countries. The house should be a place of rest, in which
the whole tribe can serve as a wall to protect the family. The tribe
will do so because the tribe needs the family. The tribe is indebted to
the family and wants the family to stay with them and become the center
of their life, so this creates no conflict. Such a tribe leads to the
formation of the nation. They have the power to create the place where
the country can rest, by giving and forgetting. Then if the country does
the same, they will create the realm of rest.
The core of all this is the filial child, patriot and saint. When you
have this core, the filial son grows into a patriot, and the patriot
grows into a saint for the world, and their path is connected as a
straight path. Then a representative family that does this will move
the whole world on the same path. Then when this encompasses the world,
it becomes the resting-place of God, and this is the cosmos. So our motto
this year is the cosmic expansion of true love brings the completion of
the heavenly kingdom of God in the new millennium. In this age, all our
hard work will bring fruit. By becoming a dutiful son, able to serve the
king of heaven and earth, and becoming a patriot in heaven and prince and
princess in the heavenly world, you can receive heaven's inheritance. You
are a perfect object partner to a perfect subject partner. If you have
this relationship of love, you have the right of equality, participation
and inheritance. The starting point is the mind-body unity, and then it
moves to the couple, then to the country. Without a country, the family
has no place to go.
We are born to complete the ideal of God, so that God can say that He
cannot live without us. We bring heaven and earth together and establish
the houses where God can dwell in peace. This is the providence of
restoration and purpose of the Second Coming. So we should receive
the inheritance from God. In order to receive the inheritance we pay
indemnity.
Whose village is the upper village? It is God's village and by
inheritance it becomes our village. The individual invests for the family,
the family for the nation, the nation for the world and they all become
one with God. Then God invests for the individual. This will wash away
all the sorrow from the age of the individual. The sorrows we experienced
as dutiful sons will be washed away. God will appear as a pillar of
fire and cloud, and we will burn together with God as His perfect object
partner and have the right to eternal victory. Mansei means we live for
10,000 ages. We don't need to say amen, because I am the embodiment of
mansei. The mind says mansei to the body, and it is fulfilled as it is
spoken. Then you dance. Do you want to dance today? [Applause.] I am
too hungry to dance.
If I say, "Where are you going?", you answer "I'm going to the big
home." God is in the upper home and you are in the lower. They are
connected by an axis, a pillar, and both are spinning on the axis. We
live at home in the homeland. Do you want to live with God? Those who
want to live together with me, raise you hands. There is a condition
you must meet to do so. Do you want to bring your packages with you? Or
will you come with nothing but a burning heart? The kernel of true love
alone should remain.
I am a lonely man, looking for that house. God has suffered, but I
am serving God until He unifies the world. Then God will give everything
to me. He wants to give it all, but had to wait until I came up. That is
the purpose of restoration. We cannot go up to the higher level unless we
first invest into the higher level. Serving the higher level is the only
way. So our church should invest for our country, for the unification
of north and south.
Do you pray in True Parents name or God's name or your own name? You
became a fruit. Is it quite close, or far away? The king of the village
of the great house is my father, and in my family are the princes
and princesses of the lower house. The king teaches the children in
order to give and receive love. It is the love that gives and gives
and forgets. It leads to infinite progress. When you breathe, the air
of the spirit world will follow you. Heaven and earth come in and out
by your breathing. [To one sister:] Are you married, or a maiden? When
you are in love, don't you lose your breath? Even though you are ugly,
you like it when I talk about love. Those who like love, raise your
hands. Everything has taste. Apples, pears, strawberries and people,
too, have different tastes. People taste other people. There are all
kinds of tastes of love. People with a wrinkled face have a taste as
well. Are the children of people with long faces born with faces long
or round? Differences are created by taste. Do rabbits and tigers have
the same taste of love? No; they are different. God loves human beings
because we have different tastes of love. All people do the same thing,
loving and having children, but do so with many different tastes.
God created us to have the original taste of love, but that taste
changed. Will God come back? What we have now is the taste of death. You
cannot mistreat your spouse. Would God come into your family if you
did? Will God go into the parents' bedroom? God visits and then does
not want to leave, so He sits at the center and everything spins around
Him. If He does, there will be no fall anymore. What is that artificial
flavor? MSG. I was the champion in talking fast when in school, in both
Korean and Japanese. I learned Japanese fifty years ago, but still all
Japanese understand me. [Father speaks about the sound of Japanese
words compared with Korean.]
You have to liberate everything. You have to change over or go over the
turning point, the separation point between heaven and hell. We liberate
all of heaven and earth. Japanese families, 300 million families, all
made mistakes on the individual and family levels. The Eve nation of Japan
had the sun goddess as their originator. True love has been implanted in
every part of the cosmos. The restoration of the cosmos has to begin with
your family, with every family. Why do you have this one here? [Father
is pointing to one person's ring, I think.] Why is it necessary? Because
the blood lineage was incorrect. It could not been connected with a
perfect couple. The Japanese lineage cannot get into heaven; it was
incorrect. Are you a Japanese woman? Where do you come from? That's no
good; you're a new Korean woman. [Applause.] It's not a lie; I'm telling
you the truth. You have to become a Korean. The problem is that because
you're Japanese, you're connected with the Japanese lineage. You have to
have a new lineage. The key to entering heaven is the true lineage. With
the love of God we can accomplish the same end. God will be surprised
if you come along and declare that you have the true lineage.
If we are talking of lineage, there are all kinds of them. God's love
and God's life need to be connected with God's lineage. It is through
God's lineage that you inherit these things and they are passed on to
your descendents. You have to cut off the fallen lineage. What is the
Japanese word for purity? Joonket, right? It's not an easy thing to change
the lineage, to bring it around 180 degrees. It takes a lot of indemnity
and investment. You have to be connected with the lineage of true love.
Everything in this world is the result of the fallen lineage and is
turned around by the True Parents. Only True Parents fulfilled their
responsibility and so became the masters of life, love and lineage. It's
simple. What's the problem? It is a matter of your lineage, your family's
lineage. We have to make a lineage that lasts forever.
We were created to live for each other. That's the original standard of
creation. Whose responsibility is it, the man's or the woman's? It's the
woman's. The word, ohna, in Japanese, sounds like owner. Okasama. Ohna.
[Father is playing with Japanese words.] The form of this word causes
others to pay attention to you.
What's the original problem? Why is there difficulty? There is
difficulty because of the problem of lineage. What is lineage? Love and
life are vertical and they unite together and that generates lineage. This
is a serious issue. In every part of the world, east or west, it is the
same problem. All of the people in the spirit world have received the
blessing. You all received the blessing from me, didn't you? You did
so in order to achieve individual perfection and family perfection. Now
it's reached a worldwide level, and you have to pass it on to others.
I have already declared the age of the 4th Adam. Your lineage should
connect 100% to God, by the establishment of an eternal standard. All you
leaders think that what I'm doing is correct, don't you? Rev. Kwak does,
don't you? Do you just follow along? 70% is formation and growth. Do
you think you've been in the Unification Church a long time so you're
pretty good? You've got to go over 73%. To make Satan collapse you have
to go over the 73% point; then Satan will run away.
All these people came [to the WCSF?] and they are working on the
national level, but I'm working on the world level. It's a serious
problem. Do you know what President Park [Sang Kwon] is doing? All
these people became Unification Church leaders, received the blessing
and made their family but don't pray. You're not praying. You get up on
Sunday morning; nobody knows the relationship between the spirit world
and physical world. Mrs. Kang Hyun Shil, you know what I'm talking
about right?
I've become chubby around the waist. That time will come. I
really don't like the sort of thing where people are not fulfilling
their responsibility. I'll kick you out of here if you give a funny
report. [Father brings up Rev. and Mrs. Chong Young Yoo, National
Messiahs to Malaysia, and makes them kiss; Mrs. Yoo quickly kisses
Rev. Yoo.] Give them some applause. The blessing is pretty good, isn't
it? In front of God, you've got to unite. You've got to make a greeting
before heaven. Everything I tell you is correct. You've got to unite three
generations, left-right, up-down, back-front. Do you have confidence to
do that, Mrs. Kang?
So the problem is lineage. The lineage flows eternally from Adam. The
blood of the fallen ancestors is in each of you and still lives in
you. For that reason, you have to completely give absolute obedience
and love and faith before me. I'm not just doing this because I like
it; you have to follow with absolute obedience and inherit the true
lineage. Through absolute faith, love and obedience I give you the
blessing and connect you with the true lineage. Couples should not
fight. You, who are having arguments, raise your hands. C'mon, own
up! It's true. Do you understand? Through this recent (world culture and
sports) festival, we are going into the seventh level. Day or night,
eternally, we will be inheriting God's true lineage. I am taking out
all the false trees; they will be uprooted and you have to be connected
with the true tree. I've invested all my effort and jungsung. So,
remain connected and after three years, fruit will come. You've got to
go through the number three.
You have to go over the age of the grandfather, father and son, and
after being engrafted, three years later, you can bear fruit. Even if
the nation opposes, the lineage needs to be established. The holy wine
is used to bring resurrection to all things. Through the holy wine
ceremony the spirit world comes and wants people to take and drink
the holy wine. There has to be just two in the process of restoring
the original lineage. Through the great festival we've made two new
organizations. One is the Cosmic True Parents Federation. It signifies
those who accept and embrace God and True Parents, and connect with the
original lineage. The God of restoration is not the true God. God has
to be resurrected and restored.
We will connect with all things, all parts of the cosmos, fishes,
plants, minerals, all will be connected to the True Parents and become one
with them. Therefore it is called the Cosmic True Parents Federation. We
made National Messiahs but they haven't been accomplishing what they
needed to do. The True Parents are the vertical parents and we need
to digest the political parties and forces in each of our various
nations. Women all need to be an extension of True Mother and form the
nucleus that can unite the democratic and communist worlds. You have to
keep going until the day all of these things are done. The completion
of all things, small and great, is in True Parents. The entire cosmos
is encompassed in this title.
The next is the cosmic peace. Peace means flatness, smoothness
of purpose. Until now there was not even a floor. It was uneven and
unbalanced. The great nations were so proud. This is the cosmic house
for peace and unification. The realms of the true father, true owner
and true king are connected in there, with absolute faith, love and
obedience. In front of this there is no distinction between political
parties. The unification of the family and tribe is connected with
this. The last word is "house" of True Parents and of God. I was the
one to accomplish the perfection of all different areas. If you do,
it will rise to the national level and come to serve the world. This is
a necessary organization. It is formed of the Abel families of the world.
Become a plus who can absorb the minuses, and move to the top. Destiny
will rise up, not drop down. Plus and minus are connected. In the same
way, the presidents of nations need to connect with True Parents and then
heaven can come down. All the nations of the world need to connect with
me and then we can create a true world. Therefore we need an absolute
foundation. To do so, become a true minus. You know what I'm talking
about, right? Cain and Abel were enemies, weren't they? We need to work
with those who can stand as the mothers of the nation. We need to work
with this mindset. Raise your sons as representatives of the nation
in the image of God. Our daughters can become the brides of God. Did
you raise such families? Then, our motherland represents the world. And
the mother is responsible to establish her sons and daughters as people
who can represent the nation and who can stand up before the community
as examples.
[Father approaches individual members:] Are you a director? Where
are your sons and daughters? Who is your son? Where did he go this
morning? What does he do? What about your husband? He's a doctor? A Ph.D.?
Let's repeat: Cosmic True Parents Federation. God and True Parents are
the absolute plus for the unification of the entire world; therefore we
must have absolute faith, love and obedience. God needs to maintain the
original standard of the creation; He cannot do whatever He wants. I ask
you to pledge to pray for me. What kind of result did you get? Did you
make it? You work hard to accomplish these things. Where is the head
of the Japanese church? You have to lead the westerners. What about you
westerners? If I call for the westerners, the Japanese and Koreans just
sit there. You probably think that I am going to pick you up. Even if I
chew you out, you think to yourself that you are really blessed. Complete
the cosmic realm united with True Parents and this must form a complete
foundation to move all things. We have to liberate God.
How did Jesus pray? We don't need to pray to connect to True Parents
and God. Why do they need to pray? You can become one with me, who is
the only one who can liberate God. Why do they need to pray? It's kind
of a game. Who made it this way, God or me? God made it this way. At
the Yankee Stadium rally the weather was against us, but we still boldly
went ahead and did the rally. How reckless that was.
We have to open the realm of the fourth Adam. We have to qualify
to pass through all the levels; this is why we need the Cosmic True
Parents Federation. We should fill in the levels, then the family can be
connected with the returning Lord. The cosmic level of peace and vertical
unification will be established in the family. This is a house where we
can complete all these things. We grow up as one. By unification we bring
an end to the sorrows of Jesus and we must accomplish this through all the
difficulties. Spirit world will not leave anything that is going against
it alone. Now is the time to pray to bring the enemies to judgment.
When you go back, create a house of unification in your countries to
unify heaven and earth. Bring together children and circle around the
world, 360 degrees, centered on God's love. Connect the realms of the
filial son, patriot and saint to the center. When they all go together
they form a sphere. Now is the time for this to happen, when you are 40,
43, 45 and up to 50. It is time that you can bless those around you. You
can do whatever it takes to bring them to the blessing. You should
offer your children and your spouse. Women should mobilize. Where is
Zin Moon Kim? You were appointed as an IW. Lee Sang Jim, Yoo [Father
names some appointed as IWs]. Sa Gil Ja, you should use them from the
mother position. Put them to work; I give you the special authority to
do that. You three receive education from her, like Noah's three sons,
to restore elder sonship.
I gave the mission of John the Baptist to the late President Eu Hyo
Won. He is her husband, and he thinks he wrote the Divine Principle
himself, but it's not true. So you prepare. Sisters should be the
leaders in doing hoon dok hae. The three political parties of Korea
should become one. [Father is talking to various individuals.] Centering
on these two organizations, don't think about other things. Representing
the center, work with 1,000% focus on hoon dok hae. The country or city
that practices hoon dok hae will live. Wait and see if it is true. The
wind is blowing this way in America. Are you confident? Rev. Kwak, pick
twelve people. One sister is enough, but pick twelve to go together. Call
her elder sister. Sa Gil Ja, how old are you? They are younger than
she is. So, listen to your elder sister and absolutely accept what she
says. If your elder sister is doing well, the younger brothers will
do well. Also Kim Zin Moon is the elder brother. If they don't listen,
tell me.
Kwak Chung Hwan, you despised women, especially your wife, right? If
your wife dies, will you give her a nice funeral or let your children
take care of it? Would you marry again? You can never remarry. Cosmic
True Parents Federation. The right is heaven, left is the world. I
am on the right; the elder brother is on the left. Right and left are
together victoriously and parents can shout mansei. If I tell you to die
a thousand deaths, you will not regret it. Is it possible or not? Whom
should I ask? Do you receive something by following me? I eat all the
goodies and you get the leftovers. Will you take it? [Yes.] Why don't
you look in my eyes when you say yes?
Those who are younger than 40, you cannot pick a fight with those
who do not listen to you. Instead, buy them some liquor and become
their friend. When you return, mobilize all the women. When they go
to North Korea, to America, then if Korean woman can be like this,
north-south unification will come quickly. Did you hear I'm going to
do rallies? Who spread that rumor? I am going to rent all the stadiums
in South Korea, and if they don't rent to us, I'll call for women's
demonstrations. Elderly people, orphans and congressmen all will be
invited, along with the governors, police, heads of institutions, and
so forth. You have to attend as husband and wife. Who will receive the
prize, the man or the woman? The reward will go to the woman.
We will also distribute hoon dok hae books. Do you want your wife
to participate? Who are the award givers? True Mother and I. The whole
country will be united. But I have no money. World leaders should make a
special donation for this. Those who want to give a donation for this,
raise your hands. If you give, you give, if you don't, you don't, but
you promised you would. I don't force you, but I'm trying to give you
blessings through this and we need give and take.
I gave you instructions on God's Day and I don't want to give you more
burdens. Go to the Pantanal with these four people and give them a tour.
I'll pick more to fulfill twelve. Rev. Kwak, pick twelve. Visit embassies.
I've been opposed so far, but I can work with them. Presidents will
rejoice about this. Is it possible? I can hire people who work for me;
if National Messiahs don't do it, I will hire people to do it. How can
I trust you, based on the past? I have a long list of instructions,
but I won't give it to you.
The Cosmic True Parents Federation. Everything hangs on the
True Parents. The world doesn't know this, because of Cain and
Abel fighting. We should bring order to this. We should expel satanic
influences that have been destroying us so far and create the Kingdom of
Heaven with God. It should be fulfilled. Your eyes are quite bright, so
I'll continue another three hours. Yes or no? Those who said yes, stand
up. Those who say no, sit down. Those who are sitting down, why are you
sitting down? Now we will close the meeting with the song of unification.
[After leading Tongil, Father called Rev. Kwak to lead mansei, then
wrote on the board: "Cosmic True Parents Federation" and "House of the
Family of Peaceful Unification." Rev. Kwak led four manseis.]
Work well with the instructions I gave you and I will see you later.
