REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON
Arrival at East Garden
December 7, 2000 East Garden, New York
Ed. Note: The following speech was
given on the occasion of True Parents' return from South America.
Interpretation was given by Rev. Peter Kim and Dr. Chang Shik Yang. Unofficial
notes by Tyler Hendricks. The program began with Dr. Yang's report about the
tour of Brazil and Uruguay True Parents just completed. Five minutes into the
report, True Father began this speech. I will be sending notes from the South
America tour separately, which will provide some helpful background to this
speech. A full report of the South America tour will appear in UNews.
On
January 13, 2001, there will take place the "Coronation Ceremony of the Royal
Parents of Heaven and Earth." In the Garden of Eden, the archangel, Eve and
Adam united and lost their position. This means God even lost His position. We
need the Messiah in order to restore God's position. That is why the True
Parents came, and based on the True Parents' foundation Heavenly Father can be
the real king of all creation.
Forty Days Time Period
Because
the fallen ancestors with the archangel left their position, by the principle
of indemnity, as second Messiah True Parents have come and have restored that
position based on Satan's surrender. All archangels under Satan's evil realm
should be cleaned. To make Heavenly Father the real king, True Parents restored
the false parents who pulled down the kingship of God. True Parents have to
restore it. If there exists hell and even paradise, they cannot proclaim that
God is King. Therefore, on December 3, Sunday morning, Father proclaimed the
tearing down of even hell and paradise "in heaven." Even paradise is not
perfect. Only the Kingdom of Heaven is perfect and should exist, based upon the
king of heaven. So Father proclaimed the second time on December 3 [the first
proclamation was on December 1 at the Hotel Americano]. Based on these two
proclamations, True Parents can make Heavenly Father the real king.
Therefore, all brothers and
sisters should pray hard to prepare for this event. We should even have the
determination to do a 40-day fast; we should have that degree of determination.
With that, prepare for January 13 ceremony with True Parents. When Heavenly
Father becomes king, later True Parents and all humankind will be liberated
substantially. From now, the age of indemnity is over. Heavenly Father will
control and manage everything by Principle. His authority and almighty power
will prevail. Judgement will be immediate, not delayed. It is a great turning point,
so this is why major providential countries are having confusion over their
leadership: Korea, Japan, Philippines and the United States. It is connected
with this kingship declaration. We have to understand. From now on, the age of
salvation is over. Everything is done. The almighty God will control directly
with His authority, so judgement will come immediately.
For a
while I will be focused on the island nations, with the headquarters set in
Hawaii. It is to create peace. I am working to make a balance between the third
world and first world nations, based on nearly 60 island nations, and to
connect them with South America. These countries of South America opposed me,
but because of my investment they will change. Eventually this will connect to
and be part of the UN foundation. To prepare for this, I directed Rev. Kwak to
finish the IIFWP inauguration in 191 nations this year, eventually to build a
foundation for the renewal of the UN. So we have to understand the time very
well. We have understand this providential time. God is working 24-hours a day.
Because the false parents lost everything, True Parents have to restore
everything. Based on that restoration foundation, True Parents will make
Heavenly Father the king, restoring His original position.
Once we
are blessed [on the national level?], we are connected with Heavenly Father's
blood lineage, so Satan cannot touch that blessed couple. So the blessing is
important. Our blessed ancestors cannot stay in heaven; they have to come down
and help us. Before our ancestors were blessed, they were evil and guided us
the wrong way. Once blessed, they become good ancestors and they come down to
earth to support us and work together to establish the kingdom. So in this 40
days we have to pay indemnity for everything, to clean everything and prepare
for this ceremony. We have a very important responsibility. Once we are
blessed, we have Adam's original position. Once we have it, we have to keep a
high standard as a son.
Whether
they believe or not, we have to announce this and guide all humankind there.
From now, we have to build the heavenly nation based on this principle. Once
the nation is built, everything is controlled by heavenly rule based on this
authority. I will summarize the special providence that we accomplished in
South America over the last eight days. At the time of departure from Punta del
Este, where we stayed several days, I called brothers and sisters to the door.
In fifteen minutes, I summarized this providence and their responsibility.
The Total Living Offering
When God
created Adam and Eve, they were supposed to wait until receiving the blessing
from God. Then everything would have belonged to God and to Adam and Eve. The
position of Adam and Eve and God would have been equal, one. But everything was
lost and 6,000 years of restoration through indemnity has been carried out.
Now, because of the grace of True Parents, going through the eight stages, the
restoration of humanity is being completed and God can be crowned. We can hold the
coronation for God through True Parents, in whom God has His substantial body.
This is a miracle. Now is the time period in which blessed couples who have
come through the national level of blessing are in the position to inherit True
Parents' heavenly lineage. Therefore Satan cannot invade us as long as we
follow True Parents' teaching, which is the standard of absolute faith, love
and obedience. To qualify to stand in that position, we have to fulfill the
Total Living Offering.
If Adam
and Eve had received the blessing of marriage, they could have possessed
everything in the universe. But they lost everything, centered on false love.
Therefore in the last days, centering on True Parents we receive the blessing
centering on true love. Then we can claim possession of the entire universe. So
we have to set the condition, the Total Living Offering. Be careful not to try
to control anything on your own without this foundation, or you will destroy
it. Illicit claim by an individual will destroy the family level; an illicit
family claim will destroy the national level, and so on. To receive this final
stage of blessing from heaven and True Parents, we have to give everything back
to God.
We can
draw the conclusion simply by studying the original creation. We have to restore
and secure true love, the heavenly lineage, first, then we can attain material
possessions. Lineage first, then concentrate with true love as the center. When
that is established, we can inherit everything and connect it to the true love
center. This is the original point of view. So I am concerned about people
living in the affluent countries, [who may long for the fleshpots of Egypt]
like at the time of the Exodus.
Human
history started in pitch darkness, as at midnight. It has been restored step by
step and True Parents came at the last stage. On January 13, when I hold this
coronation for God, that will be the turning point and culmination of human
history. We can look deep into our heart and see how hypocritical and
disgusting we have been in our life of faith, even after following True
Parents. So we have to repent thoroughly, plus give up all our possessions. If
we hide or hold onto something, we are destroying our family and national level
foundations. It is just as at the time of Exodus, when people had to leave
everything behind. Some people surely must have had lingering feelings over the
house they left behind. If we linger, we will be punished by our ancestors who
have received the blessing in spirit world. They watch over us and may give us
"a disease that is a medicine." They will give us a incentive to do what we
have to do. If we don't do it, .... They know what course we have to take,
clearly. Before, it was satanic evil spirits bothering us and they took lives
to hell. Now it is not satanic spirits, but our ancestors who are on the good
side. If we are not doing well they will do something on heaven's side. If you
don't believe, just wait and see how it develops.
Centrality of Lineage
America,
the Christian-based democratic nation, is in this transition period. In the
secular world, with the North Korea-South Korea situation, in Japan, Taiwan,
Philippines, Indonesia and the USA, we see the same symptoms. They have reached
the end of the rope. When the hurricane comes, everything is shaken. If it
comes from the east, everything without exception is blown to the west. Now the
heavenly providence is doing that. We will see the symptoms. When the hurricane
comes, if there are things to be cleaned up, they will be cleaned up. It is the
same in our life of faith. There is a clean-up when the heavenly mandate comes.
Whatever does not have a strong root is swept away. How can you get that strong
central root? The central root, central trunk, and central bud is the kingship
of God. That is had through absolute faith, love and obedience. I want to see
you have this root, trunk and bud, vertically connected. God connects with this
central root, trunk and bud. The fruit is humankind, the perfection of Adam's
family.
Without
the blood lineage, you cannot make that connection of three generations. We
need absolute life, love and lineage. Love and lineage relate in terms of one
time period, one generation, and lineage relates to past-present-future, to all
generations. Lineage is the passing of love through time. Without children, you
cannot make the family system. Family means parents, the conjugal love couple,
and children. Children connect through the blood lineage. Life is passed on by
means of love. The connection is not through life or love, but through blood
lineage. The Anglo-Saxon race cannot exist except through blood lineage. That's
why sexual purity is emphasized, to protect the lineage. There is a Buddhist
monk here; I'm sure he knows this.
Through
the providence, humanity can be restored in one day. How can people connect
with the mainstream atmosphere? Tock shin
sang won: it means "keep the concave and convex separated so you don't get
stained anymore." Separated means don't multiply your race. How complicated it
became from God's viewpoint. No other person can touch, even if he has absolute
power and knowledge. Such a person is Satan. This is a problem complicating
God's plan. Tock shin sang won, that
is the spirit we have to carry on. Tock
shin sang won was the major religious teaching through the period of
restoration through indemnity, but we now teach to create as many children as
possible through the blessing.
The Joy of True Love
So the major religions
emphasizing a life of abstinence will disappear because their time is over. True
Parents have created the formula family. Everyone can see how wonderful the
true family system is. Parents, couples and children all want that kind of
family. They want to know how to inherit it. You have the same value. How to
follow and apply the parents' formula is your problem, not my problem. From now
on, how can you make a family of that value? All people want to gather in that
place.
Those who
possess the concave palace, raise your hands. Why do you possess it? For what?
Are the sexual organs the kissing armament? There are steps you have to take in
order to produce children. Start with kissing and go deeper and deeper. The
sexual organ is the real ideal owner of love. That is the only organ that makes
man and woman one. It is not by kissing with mouth or hugging; only with the
sexual organ. True love, life and lineage connect there. The fruit is produced
there. That very organ committed the first crime in human history, so it turned
the universe upside down. Only when you follow my teachings strictly can you
rectify it.
The Lord
of the Second Advent who came as True Parents are the only ones who can give
the most modern, technical operation that will keep you alive without bleeding
or bones removed. Your original shape can be kept, but it is a big operation so
that you can have the right kind of convex or concave organ. So that organ is
more fearful than a bomb. It is like a mine buried in your body. Once the pin
is removed, it will explode and influence your generations for ten thousand
generations.
Do you
like the concept of free sex? If there is anyone who likes free sex and wants
to promote it, why don't you undress and stand here? If you don't like it, you
shouldn't even think about it. What if your physical father were to order you
to undress? What if your king did, or your uncle or grandparents? Would you do
it? [No.] There are millions of men, but there is only one man for whom you can
take off your clothes. What about standing in front of your husband? Do you take off your clothes smiling,
or with a frown? Can you imagine lesbians and homosexuals-do you think they are
smiling when they take off their clothes? All their smiles are false.
There is
only one-your husband. Day and night, you can enjoy it. When you go into bed
with your husband, do you still have some clothes on, over your chest and hips?
Mrs. Sugiyama? [She said, naked.] What about with other men? There are some
people creating new trends, practicing the trend of wife-swapping. Even judges
and lawyers and intellectuals are doing that. By practicing this exchange of
spouses, you will wonder to whom the baby belongs. So the woman will suffer
anxiety and then when the child is born, throw it into the trash, because that
baby may be the seed of your enemy.
Everything You Always Wanted To Know ...
Dr. Lee
shared his testimony about his transition to the spirit world after being apart
from his wife for 8 years [she had died 8 years earlier]. They rejoined in
spirit world and restarted their marriage life. They greeted God first and then
started their life there. Do you think what he wrote is true or made up? Can
you make love in front of your parents? When you marry, did your physical
parents given you instructions about how to make love? What about at the time
of Adam and Eve? Do you think God gave them instructions about how to make love
with each other? Suppose there is a grandchild of God born, then as its father,
Adam learned this tradition from God, so he should teach his child the same
thing. It becomes a tradition.
As parents,
don't you think they should instruct their children to take off their clothes
to make love as husband and wife? If they don't know how to take off their
clothes, don't you think the parents are obligated to teach them to take off
their clothes? Then won't they teach them the next step, and the next steps
beyond that? Do you think that such teaching is sin? If that kind of
instruction had been there, would the fall have taken place?
It is a
not a laughing matter. If God had taught these steps to Adam and Eve, Adam and
Eve would naturally have given the same teachings to their children. When you
see animals, are they wearing clothes? Animals give birth to their babies.
Don't the young ones watch their parents making love, and learn? Have you
watched your parents doing that? When you watch animals make love, do you
imagine your parents making love like that? Do you imagine that your mother's
and father's shapes are like that? Whether you know how to or not, when people
marry they take it for granted that they are marrying, making love and having
children just like their parents and relatives. That tradition is in this
world.
The
person with whom you can talk about your love life is the closest to you.
Suppose there were a love-making competition among 1,000 couples. Who would be
the champion, a black, white or yellow couple? [Black.] Why? [I don't know, but
Father once said so. Laughter.] Does love-making take place usually in the dark
or daylight? [In the dark.] That is why dark-skinned people have more stamina.
There is a trend among the white wives who realize they are not strong enough
in the bedroom and their husbands are wandering around. So they seek a black
man to make love with, because they are strong. As women, do you prefer a
stronger or weaker type? [Stronger type.] It's true. In the secular world, we
read reports of widowers without a wife for ten years, suddenly falling in love
with another's wife. They have so much energy then because they have waited for
ten years, and the housewife will leave her husband to live with him. Aged
women go after young, strong men. As a woman, do you understand that?
Suppose,
in one particular room, three couples of three generations live and sleep and
make love every night, and you all watch each other making love-will any of
those couples commit adultery? In that kind of free, natural, original
environment, if the daughter-in-law asks her mother-in-law about whether the
way she [the mother-in-law] made love the night before was more exciting, do
you think that is good? That way, there will be no struggle between
mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Because you practice that love-making life
together in the same room, the mother-in-law will feel closer to her than to
her own daughter, who is living in another family's house. Lineage goes through
the son, not the daughter. So the daughter who marries moves in with her
husband.
Judgement Through Love
In the
secular world, there is always struggle between mothers-in-law and
daughters-in-law. But if the mother remembers that she needs her
daughter-in-law in order to transmit the lineage of her son, she will
appreciate the daughter-in-law. Doesn't she want her lineage passed on? To do
so, the son needs a wife. In that regard, if we truly could build that original
environment of the love-making world, there would be no chance of deviating.
Suppose
your husband were one of the True Children, and you were called before True
Parents and told to make love. Would you be excited? You would be most proud,
to receive the heavenly lineage that way. There is no chance the satanic
lineage would invade there. Therefore, as True Parents, if we want to see your
couple or your child's couple creating the lineage there, making love, is that
evil or good? Once you realize that only through my son and daughter-in-law
will my lineage be carried on, you will see how precious your daughter-in-law
is. Your lineage is carried on not through your daughter, but through your
daughter-in-law.
If there
is a family of three generations living together in the same house and learning
how to make love from their parents generation after generation, would they be
happy or miserable? [Happy.] Then go and practice it. Suppose we sit here and
call one hundred couples every night for this purpose. You would be willing to
participate in that, right? If that takes place here, then God and all your
ancestors will be mobilized to watch. Then will you be serious enough to make
true lovemaking and not false lovemaking? In that situation, God and spirit world
will know clearly what kind of life you have been living, and they will see
everything from your past. Knowing that, can you still lay down here and make
love?
There are
six billion people in the world, and let's say that 2 billion couples make love
every night. Does God recognize any of them as true love making couples? When
God watches all these couples, are God's five organs excited, or does He close
His eyes and run away? Originally, all the millions of couples were supposed to
make love with joy and happiness in the eyes of God, not having their own
individual agenda and fallen thinking about their own pleasure and joy. If a
couple exists with that individualism, then the concave organ should be sealed
with concrete.
Dying in True Love
In spirit
world, there can be a competition and exhibition of one million couples
lovemaking. Do you want to see that competition? If you say no, you are bound
to go to hell. That is the world of true love, where everything is centered on
true love, singing, dancing, lovemaking with no embarrassment, like the birds
singing and making love. If birds can do it, why can't human beings?
Imagine
that your couple is the champion couple. When you make love, all six billion
people of the world are watching you on television. With that kind of
excitement and pride, go ahead and make love. Go ahead and show your lovemaking
skill to the six billion people. Between husband and wife, when husband likes a
woman's love organ and the wife likes her husband's, is that good or bad?
[Good.] It is good, because without that love organ, you will be in tears. Monk
Bang, do you like your wife? What part of her do you like? [I already told
you.] I forgot. Through that love relationship, you were born, you grew, you
lived your life and will die. That's why on your deathbed, you should have your
loving wife and children there. As a wife, the first person you want to call to
your deathbed should be your husband, then your children. With that foundation,
wish your other relatives good bye. If you don't have that preparation at your
deathbed, your death is poor and miserable.
We were
born through love and live for the sake of love and go to spirit world for the
sake of love and the universe, centering on love. When we die, especially
women, what do we want to hold on to? We go to spirit world alone. What do you
want to hang on to? You may leave your husband behind, and your husband's love
organ may not function any more physically, but you should feel you are
carrying your husband's love organ with you. Then stand before God and show Him
that you are carrying this most precious gift. Will God curse you? We have to
understand the concept of life in the spirit world. It is a matter of time and
space. If we go beyond time and space, we are born for the sake of love, live
and die for the sake of love, and we carry love when we die. In this fourth
Adam era, there will be no comfort blessing. You have to live with your husband
even in spirit world.
Therefore,
when you wife is on her deathbed, as a husband you should be able to wash her
body with the feeling of the fist time you made love, especially touching her
love organ, kissing it, and then send her away. At the final moment, when your
spouse is saying goodbye to the physical world, no one else should be around,
and each should hold the other's love organ, and then say the final farewell.
Then call in the children and relatives. Isn't that the best way to bid
farewell to your spouse? If you agree, then do it. You have never heard of this
practice in the secular world, but that is what I recommend.
Suddenly
I gave you this instruction. It is a special day. That is the Kingdom of
Heaven, with no boundaries or obstacles. It is the world of liberation, of
freedom. We need this world, don't we? When Adam and Eve make love is the time
God enters the world. God makes love with them. When you make love, if you feel
the true lovemaking process is there, then please realize that True Parents and
God are there making love with you together. In that case, you should regard
your husband as possessing the seed of your ancestors, vertically, and
horizontally as the seed of True Parents. He has that value. There will be no
division in that world of lovemaking.
We have
to repent for the false lovemaking we have done and for our life of little
faith. God has been filled with han.
He finally has reached the point through True Parents where there is the
foundation to claim all humanity as His children. So God will remain as the
eternal True Parents of mankind, and that day is coming. Such a moment is
coming. So we have to go through True Parents to welcome that day and moment.
Everyone shares these same feelings. Even those born in one thousand years will
feel the same about this.
The Korean Root of Chinese Culture
To this
point, there have been thousands of history books written on the left side, but
from now we will start writing history on the right side, centering on God and
True Parents. So it will be written not from left to right, but from top to
bottom. So you may not be able to write it in English. It should be written in
Chinese. If you study Chinese characters deeply, you see that they can combine
tens of thousands of meanings together.
Westerners
think on only one level at a time, in a very simple way. But the Chinese, who
have had the Chinese characters, think many thoughts at the same time. That is
culture. The language represents the culture. Think about China, with 1.3
billion people. Each individual has thousands of thoughts, so think of how complicated
it is. In America, people just go on a one-way street, even in diplomacy. Even
the Panama Canal was quietly taken over by the Chinese. During Clinton's time,
the Chinese manipulated American diplomacy. But above these Chinese characters
and philosophy, is God. God wants to unify the Chinese.
The
Chinese characters stem from the ancestors of Korean people, the people from
the east (of China). One good example is that when we write heaven in Chinese,
there are two people involved. That is tantamount to a revelation. In Buddhism,
they teach "chabi": compassion. In
the Chinese character for chabi, cha means the mind of darkness, together
with another mind of darkness; together they represent nothingness. The
character for beauty and goodness has the character for "man," which symbolizes
sacrifice. This teaches that to create goodness and beauty, you have to
sacrifice. That philosophy is embedded in the language. The people who created
this have these virtues.
Through
the "tongi" race come the modern Korean
people, the "people of the east." In the Olympics, the Koreans do well in
archery. They won the women's archery gold medal this year. Archery requires
concentration. This ancestral tribe lived in China but hated fighting, so they
escaped the battlefield and settled on the Korean peninsula. Confucius himself
is from this tribe. When Dr. Lee met Confucius, he was wearing the yangban hat and Korean socks. He was not
Chinese. In Confucius's lifetime, he always wanted to come to the Diamond
Mountain. It is obvious that Confucius was from the Tongi tribe.
Purification Period
If you do
not follow my footsteps from now, you will become miserable. Even though the
communists are lost, they won't follow the American way. They have no choice
but to follow me soon. The Chinese and Russian elite will follow, no matter how
much America opposes. I completed the providence centering on the American
continent, so I am moving toward Asia via the Pacific islands. Asia-Europe is
the rightwing, the Americas are the leftwing, and the Pacific Ocean is the
mother's womb. Centering on it, new life should emerge. Working with the UN,
taking the security of the island nations ...
The
tallest mountain is Mt. Everest, but the deepest ocean, near the Philippines,
is deeper than Mt. Everest is high. Therefore the Himalayas might have come out
of the ocean near the Philippines. During World War 2, the Japanese attacked
Pearl Harbor. Japan did not want to take over the US, but only wanted to take
over Hawaii in order to protect their island empire. But the US wanted to
expand Christianity through those islands, so they counter-attacked. America
did not want to fight Japan, but did so in order to protect Christianity. That
phenomena is shown through the Philippines and Indonesia becoming the
protective line of the free world. Then the Korean War broke out because of the
misunderstanding that the line of protection did not include Korea.
The
center and subject of the globe should be in Asia, not America. Even with the
power of American Christianity, it is impossible to convert all the other
religions. Asia produced the four major saints, but none of them converted
everyone to be children of God. They died and thousands of years have passed.
Now, I have emerged out of Asia and in my lifetime I have united all these
religions and am about to offer the crown to God, to become the cosmic king of
humanity. Unless we completely change the lineage from the false satanic
lineage to the heavenly lineage, it will be impossible even for True Parents to
do it, but the lineage has been changed, so we can do it.
Buddhism
and Hinduism have no idea about this. Jesus brought the pure, heavenly lineage
to the world. Through this lineage the providence has been possible. On January
13 the coronation will be held because of the victorious foundation of True
Parents. But each one of us should think we are qualified to offer this crown
to God. So during this 40 days we should cleanse ourselves through repentance
and offer everything to God. True Parents offered everything to secure this
heavenly lineage. Do your best to cleanse yourself through repentance and offer
everything you have to God. In that way we can stand behind True Parents, not
making their shadow longer but within their boundary, so we can go into the
realm of blessing with True Parents.
End of the Providence
So keep
the family law. God and True Parents will be in the position of king, so we
offer everything to them first and then receive whatever they give us. On the
condition of offering everything, with True Parents we will receive all things.
Through this process, by the year 2010, everything will be completed; there
will be no more providence. By then I will be 90. The number 9 is the point you
go over the hill. The next number is 10, so if you go over 9, you belong to 10.
That is the way I will complete my purification and restoration of the entire
cosmos.
Now we
absolutely should utilize the mass media. We should work through our media
organizations and World Media Association and World University Federation for
this purpose of world peace and the internal and external education of each
nation. Then eventually they will join the religious federation. Historically,
religion and politics have been antagonistic, but we have to harmonize them.
What is the next stage? The financial world-we have to start working on banking
and finance. After going through the six stages, with True Parents representing
the number 7, we will start building the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. There is
no other way for humanity to prosper. America may want to see the UN dissolve,
but there is no chance now, because I have started uniting the island nations
and have sent my fleet to Antarctica to bring food for hungry countries. So
these countries will be on my side and will not let America close the UN.
Following the satanic
world's tradition, people have flocked into urban areas, but the time has come
for people to rethink this and disburse to the countryside. Certain survival
will come only by decentralizing the cities across the countryside, wars first
cause the cities to be destroyed, but if people are spread out they cannot all
be destroyed. I am providing a blueprint for the future of humanity. To this
day, human civilization has been based on Christian culture. But this Christian
based civilization tends to flock people into cities. If this continues, the
pollution of physical world and morality will drive humanity to extinction. So
the only sure way to survive is to go back to the state of original nature. It
will not be easy to convince people to do so. That's where religion has to
teach people to understand God and the value of nature. Then they will
voluntarily decentralize.
Back to Nature
We have
technology to convert deserts into fertile farmlands. So the planet will be
evenly occupied by people who believe in God and the value of nature. That is
the only way to survive. The next three hundred years are the most critical for
human survival. That's where the Unification Church teaching comes in. We can
teach why we have to go back to nature, loving mountains, water and so forth.
Urban environments are the grave of sin and crime, even of AIDS. They are like
the cancer of humanity. We have to decentralize. People flock into the cities to eat more, learn more and take
advantage of the culture. But that era is over, because of email and internet.
You have the same privileges in the boondocks. You can even view the Broadway
musicals. So why bother coming into the grave of sin and crime? Soon no schools
will come into the cities. In nature, why do you need boundaries? There you can
enjoy God and the natural world.
Humankind
possesses enough nuclear bombs to destroy the world 100 times over. These bombs
could kill us all with no chance of survival. If they start, they will start in
the urban areas, where people are concentrated. So I secured the vast open land
in South America. I feel it is big enough to feed one or two hundred million
people. How many Unification Church members are there? 200 million? Even if you
don't like it, you know the value of my words.
I am studying how to have
space Olympics and ocean Olympics. If you make big enough tunnels in the
mountains, you can overcome the seasons. If you dig into the ground more than 3
or 4 feet, you can control the temperature. We can dig holes and tunnels in the
Rocky Mountains and Andes and create a paradise. We can even build schools
underground and under the water, too.
Humanity
is sick and tired of the way things are going. If you build a fish farm of 1/4
acre, you can feed more than 10 people. That kind of fortune is waiting out
there. So, do you want to stay in the cities, or go back to nature? Those
ancestors who lived in nature are in a good place in spirit world, because
their mind was well-developed. What do you need most in nature? Water. Without
water, nothing will survive. All the food we consume requires water. Whoever
controls water will control the future world.
It is a
wise person who will control the Antarctic and North Pole. Thousands of years
old ice and fresh air is still there. Someday people will pay $10,000 for a
glass of water from the poles. So if you have ownership over it, you will be
rich. The depth of the ice cap is 800 meters. Suppose a deer is buried for
thousands of years in that ice. Its meat will be fresh, and we can cook it, and
one piece of meat will cost $1,000, paying even for the memory of eating a
piece of meat that old. There are many frozen fish and animals there. Suppose
you build a restaurant on this ice cap and drill hundreds of holes to find the
frozen meat, and sell it for thousands of dollars a dish. Don't you want to do
this? You haven't even thought about it, have you? I test the effects of aging
on meat.
[Father
expounds on the greater importance of water over land-from the constitution of
our body, its necessity for life, the fact that we are born in the watery
environment.] The time is coming that we will be able to eat only liquid food.
Wherever you go, then , you will need potable water. Instead of cooking rice or
fish, you will live on krill powder mixed with water. If the Unification Church
members promote this lifestyle, living with one backpack full of krill powder,
the world may follow us. I have such daydreams. Will you still follow me? Will
you follow if I tell you to pack up and climb to the top of Mt. Everest? [Yes.]
But before we go one mile, you will complain you are hungry. Your stomach's
demand will increase. You will give up.
Across the Universe
When I
toured the Hawaiian Islands, I climbed to the top of a 10,000 foot mountain. I
felt my nervous system and blood system affected. My breathing became harder
and I had a feeling from my legs, feet and back. Suppose we had climbed to
20,000 feet; the symptoms would be more severe due to lack of oxygen. Even of
those who are healthy, some die climbing such mountains. Think of how strange
it is that we cannot even climb to 20,000 feet, and yet want to travel the
whole universe. The size of the cosmos is 2.2 billion light years across,
something like that. With this physical body, how can we travel it? Don't you
want to check out this vast universe, not just this tiny earth with its petty
squabbles? God is the owner and master of the entire universe. Don't you want
to belong to Him and travel with Him? Without having an airplane, how can you
follow God?
In your
thinking, does it take time to cross America? Are there obstacles? [No.] What
comes first, your mind or true love? With true love, you can go anywhere; there
are no boundaries. With true love, everything is possible, even conquering the
universe. Don't you want to do that? What if, for white people, the cost is
your face turning black? Would you still want to do it? [Yes.] But no matter
how you try, you cannot become black right away. You may have to die tens of
millions of times first. If it takes this much effort, wouldn't you have to bow
to a black person when you see him, if that color change is the goal of your
eternal life? Do you think the black race emerged out of nowhere, or worked
really hard to remain the black race? If it is true that the white race emerged
from polar bears, and traveled hundreds of millions of years to travel to the
tropics and turn black, don't you have to pay respect to the hard work and
effort those ancestors made?
Think
about the difficult course the black race went through in order to be
established. Don't you think it is a miracle? The whites with blue eyes say
they belong to the polar bear race and are proud of their eye color and skin
color. But you lived in snow so you always had to look for water, so your eyes
came to be blue. It is nothing to be proud of. You just hunted and killed and
exploited others. You should have just stayed with the polar bears and not come
into the rest of the world. But you invented the gun, and invaded everywhere.
Who made the gun first, whites or yellow? Killing everything they see. They
would kill the owner of a farm so that they could kill the animals. Throughout
human history, which race shed the most blood? [The white race.] You answered
quickly, so that's good. The white race committed the most crimes. So why are
they the most blessed now? Because of Christianity. Christianity is
humanitarian. Christian missionaries came through a difficult course. Millions
died in the jungles, the tropical regions, with the goal of building the
Kingdom of Heaven.
At the
time of the Vietnam war, who won? Vietnam. How did their fire-power compare
with that of the US? The Americans had hundreds of times more. When America was
defeated, they abandoned everything and ran. What if there were a war between
China and America? Which side would win? In the view of China, Vietnam is just
a moustache hair, so Chinese laughed when America ran from Vietnam. They laugh
at American scholars. They work as spies and think they can surpass America in
twenty years. But they fear me the most. Don't you fear me? Are you afraid of
me? [No.]
My Promise to Christianity
In South
America, especially the Pantanal, there are huge rats. The different lineages
look alike, but they kill each other, even though they all look the same. What
if there were a war between whites and blacks, worldwide. The whites would win,
but then there would be another war of the whites among themselves. They have
different sub-races. Would they have peace? If God made us that way, the human
race would be extinct someday. But God is parental, so He teaches us to love
our enemy.
America
is my most vicious enemy, but I came here to revive America. I spent my golden
thirty years here. If I had spent my time for the four billion people of the
world (when I came there were 4 billion), there would be a different outcome.
If I left America, how many would be shedding tears? What if those billions of
people in the spirit world argued that I spent my most precious thirty years in
America but not many shed tears when I left, and if I had spent those years in
Africa or Asia to save them, then millions would be crying for me. What should
I say? Should I say they are right? [No.] I would say, because America is my
most vicious enemy, I came here to revive the enemy nation. So my life has been
teaching the children of my most vicious enemies to be my followers. Was that
right or wrong? [Right.]
As an
American who got new life from me, is your life worth the value of those 4
billion people? But the Lord of the Second Advent who came as the True Parents
of humankind made a promise to Christianity, not to the secular people. My life
has been devoted to restoring Christianity, so that Christianity as a whole,
the entire nation, would do the work to save the human race. How many
presidents do you have in America, one or two? If two insist on being
president, isn't there a problem? In Florida, there is so much confusion,
between machine and hand counting. What was the original way? The original way
was to use the machine. So everyone should abide by that promise [i.e. the
implicit promise to abide by the given rules and use the machine instead of
hand-counting].
I made a
promise to Christianity and Christians don't keep their side of the promise,
but I keep mine and keep educating them. So, was it right for me to come to
America, and hang on to this small number of Christian people here to restore
humankind? Or should I have gone out to the four billion? [Right.] Why? I am
still hoping and praying that even if the 6 billion people oppose me, there
will be enough Christian people who came to understand God's will to protect me
and save the world. There are many different religions, but even if all of
humankind disappears, God will preserve His ideal through Christianity, because
Christianity is the central religion. That is why I work through Christianity.
America
may not have 4 billion people here, but it still represents all of the
Christianity that suffered and struggled for 2,000 years. That history of Christianity
hinges upon American Christianity. That is why I am still here. There are many
types of Christians: those who were born Christian and those who were
converted. What kind of Christian is best? If you study Christian history,
there were many martyrs and prisoners, but if you look at other religions, such
sacrifice is rare. What if there were a difficult fortress we had to take over,
and God were watching. Would ardent traditional Christians go first, or
Unification Church members? [Unification Church members.] Are you sure? Are you
confident in that? [Yes.] How many times would you attack it? If you have to do
so until you die, hundreds and hundreds of times, would you do it? [Yes.] No
white woman answered yes, only yellow.
The Foundation of Christianity
In
general, if we compare Christians and non-Christians, Christians are a little
bit better. Those who have believed in the Unification Church for more than ten
years, raise your hands. What if the time comes when I abandon the Unification
Church teachings and church and go to my hometown? What would you do? Would you
rather go with me and die, or remain behind and make even bigger issues than I
did and change the world? [The latter.] So then, my teachings provide the
foundation for you to do such a work? [Yes.] How would you do it? [No answer.]
Think about me, who was born as a farm boy in a corner of Korea and came out
even to affect the UN. Even if I go away, you should have enough conviction and
confidence to carry on and fulfill what I wanted to do.
Do you
know God's wish? It is the unification of heaven and earth. Has it been done?
[No.] If it is not done yet, if I go away, who will do it? When Jesus passed
away, who carried on his mission? [His followers.] Christians have been trying,
but haven't fulfilled God's will yet. When can we do it? There are so many
Christian martyrs. What do you feel. Are my teachings, directions and
foundations going to be done, or not? [They will be.] How? Who will finish it?
Will I do it in my lifetime, or will you finish after me? [Father already did
it and we will continue.] But I am still empty-handed. We have to remember that
before I think about you, God will see to it. Even if I leave nothing behind,
my words remain with the projects. So if someone follows the words, the things
will be done. Inside the words are the power to help you. Connect as one with
the words and anyone will be lifted up. No problem for them to expand and help
God and be successful in the future. My words will lift up. Through HDH tradition,
without having True Parents with you for the last two years, have you been
developing yourselves and lifted up further, or not? [Yes.] How much?
Through
HDH, didn't you learn about the reality of the spirit world? By comparing my
teachings with Dr. Lee's testimony and Augustine's testimony, we see they are
talking about the same thing that I had already taught. So we see my teachings
are right, and therefore God exists. They are reality. So make a determination
on that powerful center. That is why I don't worry about the time after I leave
the physical world.
You are My Witnesses
Even
though Jesus died on the cross, his words remained behind and his disciples
carried on with the words. That is why the Christian foundation is here. So
even after I leave this world, I see more great works will be done by my
followers. Have you seen God? What did Jesus say? If you see me, you see God.
So what do you see? You have to know that you have seen the living God. God is
living. So you have watched how I have been living. Have you witnessed me
living my life for the sake of enjoying myself? Have you heard me speak about a
vacation or pleasure-seeking? No; instead, I say even if you die, march
forward. Are you just listening, or have you seen and tasted everything? You
have seen and heard; you have witnessed it.
So
therefore, the conclusion, out of watching my life all these years, what will
be the result? Will the world, when they understand, welcome me or oppose?
[Welcome.] I don't want to leave anything I touch incomplete. Like UB, I will
see it through. Harvard, Yale-wait and see. The Universal Ballet Company (UBC),
the two soccer teams, the Little Angels-you've witnessed this success and
victory in the world of art. The entire European continent used to cheer their
own ballet companies, but now they are cheering the UBC. In other words, they
were cheering for themselves, but through the UBC recent success, they
surrendered to me.
Europeans
realize that even in ballet, their extreme individualism cannot reach my level.
They thought that ballet was a western art, because western women have long
legs. But they changed their attitude because of the UBC success. They say the
best ballet is from Seoul, from Reverend Moon. When you western women hear
this, do you feel bad? Do you think it is good news? You should not feel good;
if you do, you are oriental women now. In the future, westerners may have to
adjust their noses to become lower, for a universal standard to come.
Westerners and Easterners should merge with each other, because we are brothers
and sisters.
Am I a
crazy person, or the most sound? We have to distinguish between faces in the
spirit world and in the physical world. If you have a dark face in the physical
world, your face is white in the spirit world. So, who should follow whom?
[Westerners should follow easterners.] Perfection should take place here, not
in the spirit world. The clouds appear gray or white, but when rain comes, they
are dark. Rain comes from dark clouds. Dark clouds means there are many layers
of clouds. So, should you like white or dark clouds? White clouds do not bring
rain, but dark clouds do. So what race is the majority? Oriental. Who likes
rain more, hunters or farmers? Farmers. China represents a farming nation. They
are like accumulated dark clouds. When they understand Divine Principle, ...
Their goal is to secure more land. When I buy vast land, Chinese follow and try
to copy me. God wants to secure land as well. He created land first, and on
that, water comes and they build harmony. Man is soil and woman is water; they
should create harmony. Water is deep; the earth is high. Convex and concave.
They should come together, to make oneness.
Equality Comes Only by True Love
In order
to unite the five races, what does it take? Love. The true love way is eternal.
What is most precious? True Love. What kind of politics exist in this world?
Politics of money, power and knowledge. However the most precious is the power
of love. That is God's power. The only politics that will remain in the future
is True Love politics. Money, power and knowledge can change but love will
never change. Politics today is based on economic power. That can change. In
the secular world the power of money, power and knowledge is not unchanging.
Therefore politics based on this will not be unchanging.
Even in
the ideal world, the political system should not change. The economic system
should not change. The management system and educational system should not
change. Everything should be shared. Educate others. The only thing everyone
should be proud of is the family of love, centering on conjugal love. Whether
that family can represent heaven and earth is the key. Even without power, if
God's original creation love is in that family, people should be proud. In the
ideal world, nothing will change. But in the secular world, everything is
changeable. America is run by what? Power and knowledge? Money? Military power?
Do they have love?
If your
wife and children boast of their physical power, can there be unity in the
family? What if the husband is a prominent Ph.D. and the wife is an elementary
school level, can there be harmony? If they fight over money? There is no
concept of equalization in the world of money, power or knowledge. People do
not want to share these things, so they will never stand equal and there will
be no peace. Only because of true love, whether you are rich, poor, wise or
uneducated, strong or weak-these are not of concern, but only true love will be
the binding force of your family. What you need for your family to bind
together is true love. With true love you can create harmony and unity all the
time. Only that will last for eternity.
It
doesn't matter if you have no money, power or knowledge-that family life remain
for eternity. I don't feel happy or unhappy depending on money. If there's no
money, I don't care; I can survive even as a beggar. I can become a scholar; I
can build equalization everywhere by true love. Because of money, knowledge and
power, people divide and fight. Equalization comes through love. Even in the
past, our ancestors created happy or sad families by love, not power or money.
Everyone has this original nature seeking this family of peace.
In the
world of money, is there any standard of peace? In the world of knowledge, is
there a standard of peace? Or the world of power? There is always competition,
winners and losers. But in the world of love, even though the physical strength
is different between man and woman, through love, they are equal. In sumo
wrestling, the man will usually win. But through love, you can be equal. You
can win, lose, anything; it doesn't matter. That doesn't happen with knowledge.
Only love gives you the privilege of going above or below.
Your Legacy
So again,
we have to know the value of an ideal family in which you can build peace,
happiness and harmony. That is the model to build the ideal kingdom in this
world. So how can we continue the family of harmony and peace? By living for
others, for the greater purpose, investing and forgetting. By doing so, you
will ascend to higher levels and take your position there, ultimately becoming
the center person. This is the formula; one pattern for every area, no problem.
We should become princes and princesses of love, wherever we go.
Man is
born for woman and woman for man. Centering on knowledge? Power? Money? No way.
Those things cannot be at the center, ever. Love is at the center, for
settlement. I always determine to go through that forever, even passing into
the spirit world, forever. The king is God, my Father, reaching that same
place, waiting, waiting now. God is waiting for me in spirit world to come
together on the high mountain peak. So, life for the sake of others is the only
key; there is no other. The dividing line between shrinking and expanding is
true love. Life for others is expanding. You keep going up through the center
post, with God sitting on the top. As long as you keep doing that, you will go
through every level and reach God's throne.
In this
world, what you have to leave behind as your legacy is the order of life for
the sake of others. If we are devoted to our possessions, money, power or
knowledge, these things pull us to the bottom of hell. God does not need these
material things. What God wants to see is the true owner of these things. When
He finds that true owner, He will give everything to this true owner. The
entire world will be given us by True Parents if we practice this life.
What if
you ladies have to give away all your clothes except for what you are wearing;
will you do that? Even if you are poor, you have five or six sets of clothes. Go to Africa. There are many women
there who have only one blouse. They have no coat or dress. That is common.
They have no shoes. Some have only a bra and panties. Since they wear only
those things, their skin is so dark. What if you go there to witness for three
months? Would you do it? Would you wear good clothes, or become one of them?
That is the way; you should be more humble than they are, and give everything you
like to them. You will win them by the power of love, the love that creates a
sacrificial mind.
What about you heavy-built
women? Will you do it too? Instead of eating three meals a day, you can eat
only one and advertise that others can come to eat the other two. Then you will
become slim in six months; it doesn't take any special diet method. Diet sounds
like "die art"-the skill of dying. Some claim that if you go on a certain
method of dieting, you will get sick. Many women go to the hospital because
they got sick from a diet. Genetically, some people are born to be heavy, some
slim. You don't have to change your shape. I used to weigh about 230 pounds,
over 100 kilo. But now I weigh less than 100 kilo. Even if I skip meals, I
carry this weight. Mrs. Sugiyama and Mrs. Ward, sitting there, look like two
bears. If you poke a bear's skin, you can't find their bones. Their flesh flaps
when they move. It's nothing to be proud of. If you walk around the city with a
heavy build, people think you have money and so that is why you ate a lot.
That's nothing to be proud of.
[Sorry; I
had to leave! But Father's speech did not go much beyond this point.]
