<p>The topic of Father&#8217;s sermon this morning is, <em>The Realm of Heavenly Liberation.</em> Every individual on earth dreams of becoming happy and wants to lead a happy life with a happy family. People search for a place in which they can find happiness. That place must have something pertaining to all aspects of happiness. The conditions for happiness within the individual, family, nation as well as on the cosmic level must exist there. Let&#8217;s examine and find the conditions necessary to become happy.</p>
<p>We would like the huge cosmos to embrace the world within it. We want the world to embrace many nations. The country should embrace many different clans and races. Within the clan we want to see many prosperous families. In the family we would like to have as many members as possible starting from the grandfather down to grandchildren. &#8220;I&#8221; am one of those individuals who is constantly seeking happiness. The happiness I would like to have is happiness in all standards and every direction. We don&#8217;t want to have just one criterion for happiness, we want happiness in every possible respect. That individual is then likely to be thinking about the whole world. He is placing himself in a position of being greater than the world, greater than the clan and the nation. Such is the human being that has been created! Now we know what all mankind is seeking, but we don&#8217;t see it anywhere around us. It is apparently something that man has lost.</p>
<p>We are not daydreaming. It is not the concept of happiness we are seeking, but the reality of happiness. Centering on myself I can pull the country and the country is pulled to me. If I push the country, the country is pushed away from me. We all want to be able to exercise our will in such a way.</p>
<p>Immediately we think that money can help us do that. Money is so important. But apparently even when people have a lot of money, they have the tendency to build walls and isolate themselves. Certainly then money is not the way to bring happiness to an individual.</p>
<p>The next thing we consider is knowledge. You may think a Harvard education will help you. But we see that knowledge also is helpless in achieving lasting happiness. If you take knowledge seriously, it becomes very narrow and specialized. Narrow knowledge can never encompass a world view. Knowledgeable people don&#8217;t usually have a large view. If one scholar knows even one more word of vocabulary than another he claims he is better. So happiness doesn&#8217;t seem to be found in knowledge either.</p>
<p>How about power? Everybody likes power. Can power produce happiness? If you have power do you want to distribute it and share it with others? No, you want to keep it to yourself. All these things we have listed don&#8217;t seem useful in attaining happiness. At best they may help, but none seems to be an important factor in finding happiness.</p>
<p>All sorts of walls exist in the world today. Starting with national boundaries and the walls of secularism, what could possibly go through those walls or bring them down? Money? To some extent yes, but very little. There is only one hope in the fallen world to penetrate these walls and do away with them. That is love. Isn&#8217;t that true? If we become a part of love in either the position of object or subject, and become involved in the give and take of love, there is no place we cannot go. Of course we have to consider that there is good love and bad love. There is also mediocre love, which is neither good nor bad, but neutral. Which layer of love do we live in today? Yes, we have to confess that we are living more in the realm of bad love. How would you define these three realms of love? What is the standard by which we decide either good, bad or neutral love? It&#8217;s not complicated. It is all determined by the kind of man and woman involved.</p>
<p>According to the man and woman and their relationship we can determine what realm of love they are in. People will say, &#8220;She is a good woman&#8221; or &#8220;She is a so-so woman&#8221; or &#8220;She is a bad woman.&#8221; And the same thing is true among men. With these three types of men and three types of women, there are six combinations that you can put together, not more. Only one of them is the best liked. The good relationship between a good man and a good woman is what the world wants to see. In America the population is 240 million, half of them are men and half are women. Is America a good country or bad country? You don&#8217;t know? [Bad.] Are there more good men or good women in this country? Which percentage is higher? What is your guess? This is serious. We need a good analysis. In order to do so, you have to list everything and give it a lot of thought and evaluation.</p>
<p>Someone said America is bad. Is this because there are more bad women or bad men in this country? Let&#8217;s be serious and honest about it. The divorce rate in this country is said to be more than fifty five percent. Can the cause of divorce be more often traced to man or woman? Answer clearly. [Both.] That is not acceptable, it is either man or woman. Some thoughtful woman here said, &#8220;women.&#8221; So, individually speaking are there more bad men or bad women in this country? So, in order for that bad country to become good, should men follow women or should women follow men? Woman has to follow man. This is the conclusion. [A sister shouts, &#8220;Women have to follow God.&#8221;] That&#8217;s not even part of the question! In this country men follow women. Do all men follow all women? No, because of all women, only about ten percent are beautiful! Their eyes are crazy and upside down. Men seek to follow what they think are beautiful women.</p>
<p>People try to make themselves more beautiful by using cosmetics. Do women do that more or do men do that more? The use of makeup is almost the total monopoly of women. If you think about it seriously should we leave makeup alone or should we revolutionize cosmetics? Individual women may not like the way they look, but after they use elaborate makeup, they come to like themselves and walk proudly down Fifth Avenue. Not to be critical, but honestly, would you women like to wear dark, dingy clothing? Would men like to see women dressed that way? Or does everyone want women to wear nice, bright, attractive clothes? We like to see women wearing colorful and attractive dresses. Women want everybody to pay attention to them. Alright, let&#8217;s say a women tries hard and gets lots of attention from men. Then what? Would she show them something good or something bad? That&#8217;s the next question. What do you women think? After becoming beautiful and gaining lots of attention, then what? [Good things.] Yes? It&#8217;s clear enough that when you become beautiful, you gain the attention of men and they will follow you. Now, would you determine to make those men who follow you into great patriotic men who can do service to their country, even to bring them to the level of saint? Or, would you make him pay for you and provide you with many things, to buy you drinks and live a lowly life? Which way would you choose? [The first one.] American women think on such a high level? It sounds strange to me. After you are well dressed where do you want to go? Maybe the theater and then a dancing hall. You enjoy yourself and feel high, then what would you like to do? Maybe you&#8217;d like lots of drinks after that. We&#8217;re talking about the average woman in any country.</p>
<p>We think about the fallen world all the time. Is the fallen world closer to sainthood or closer to the secular life Father described?</p>
<p>Let us be reminded, everyone is seeking happiness. They do what they do in search of happiness. We know painfully well they cannot find happiness there. On the other hand, we have a group of people who are agonizing and suffering almost to the extent of misery. But there we can find true love, lofty ideals and all the positive things. Now we can reach a conclusion based on common sense. It is generally very true that in the secular life of physical enjoyment, almost no enduring love can be found. The general rule and conclusion is that you have more chance of finding love among those who lead a suffering life than among well-to-do people. That is exactly what Jesus pointed out when he said it is more difficult for a rich man to go to the kingdom of heaven than it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. The chance is so small.</p>
<p>Who is the most patriotic person in a country? Is it a person who has everything at his disposal and can do whatever he desires? Is this well-to-do person the one who has love or is it more likely the one who lives in a miserable condition but is ready to give whatever he has for the sake of the nation? Which one has more chance of finding happiness? The sacrificial person. Nobody envies him, but he himself is in a better position.</p>
<p>Of course there are two kinds of humble people. One is forced to live this kind of life simply because he is poor. That may be a different story. But the man who could lead a first rate, rich life but gives it up to live in a more humble fashion is the one who has the chance of finding love and happiness. You know the rules of the Principle very clearly. By the same token, a citizen in the greatest and most affluent country of America, who gives everything up and chooses to go to Africa and suffer with the people there, helping them to improve and raise them up above misery and sickness, is a great man. If Americans chose to trade for that way of life, they would be respected all over the world and they would find happiness. They would find the love and respect of other people. Does this sound far fetched or reasonable? This is reality.</p>
<p>You cannot accomplish that with money. In other words you cannot use money to go down to a low position. Only love, and true love at that, can make you do that. If you talk about true love, people will demand to know where they can find it. You can explain that when this happens, there is a good chance true love dwells there. God is the king of all goodness. Everything that is good is connected to God. But if God said, &#8220;I am good and you must all serve under me&#8221;, can He remain good? Therefore God too, would like to give all the good things up and come down to live with those in difficulty. When everybody knows this and follows God down, would we want God to stay down forever or would we say to God, &#8220;We will replace you here. We will take your place here so why don&#8217;t you go up a step higher above me.&#8221; We would like to push God up and elevate him. In order for us to recognize and glorify something good, we have to lift God up. Nobody cheers something which is going down. So before we can cheer we want to bring God up. We have to do that so we can glorify Him. Isn&#8217;t that true?</p>
<p>We talked about happiness. From this perspective we have to truly understand what is the happy way of life. Then if we choose to live in this fashion, we don&#8217;t want to attract love or anything at all, but people will come in spite of that and recognize you and love you. Then you are where God wants you to be. Through logic and reason, we see clearly that in this huge and complicated world every imaginable wall exists. You cannot even travel a short distance without being blocked by some kind of wall. Only through true love you can go anywhere you choose-a good place or a bad place. You can go anywhere with true love.</p>
<p>Which travels ahead of an individual, true love or true life? Which one will pull which? [True love will pull true life.] Are you sure? What you have just said is; in order to follow true love you have to give up your life. Very interesting. Is it true or not? There is absolute power in that understanding. Now we are aware of the truthful statement in the Bible. Jesus always tried to teach men, &#8220;If you want to live, you must die.&#8221; Another paradoxical thing he said is, your own family is your enemy. No one could ever understand this. Your family pulls you back and says, &#8220;Be comfortable.&#8221; That will prevent you from going to heaven. Today&#8217;s world challenges us greatly. Christians say, &#8220;Believe and you will go to heaven.&#8221; We know this is not true. How can we just believe and go to heaven? We have to believe and do before we can go to heaven.</p>
<p>The world is full of true love like it is filled with air. The space of the world is filled with air isn&#8217;t it? Now don&#8217;t you experience within your small family and between brothers and sisters, that you cannot make another person do your will, right? An elder brother especially will never listen to his younger sister. Even in a small family there are walls. How can we bring them down and penetrate them? Pushing them down is one way, but can you successfully do that? Can you force your way in? Or because you are so smart can you sweet talk others and bring down the walls? It might work at first, but once they find out they&#8217;ve been deceived they&#8217;ll come and pay you back with biting! That is human nature.</p>
<p>But love is different. Love is the only way you can penetrate the walls. Only true love can do it. The conclusion is simple. Father has a secret to share here. Let&#8217;s say within a family there is an older brother who is really a tyrant because he is the heir. He is an impossible person, like a bear who won&#8217;t budge. Nothing will make him move. But his little sister can penetrate him with true love. She will make a small hole in his wall, but he won&#8217;t mind. In fact he will ask for more. That bear-like man won&#8217;t mind this in true love. So the hole becomes bigger until she can run a thread through it. Then she breaks through another hole, and this time runs a thicker thread through it. Later she can use a rope, and eventually this little sister will be able to get her brother to be any way she likes him to be. The love of a small woman can have that kind of strong power. Is it clear?</p>
<p>These thick walls are penetrable by love. We often talk about the messiah. But who and what is he? He thinks about breaking through these walls and nothing else. In a way, he is a specialist who is always thinking, awake or asleep, about how to penetrate different walls. He doesn&#8217;t want to just penetrate the wall, he wants to build a road and pave it so that many can come in with no problem. He is a highway builder. Messiahship is accomplished by the one who does this at the cost of his own pain and sacrifice. He endures pain and works hard knowing that this road will benefit more than just his family. Millions and billions of people will benefit from this highway. Without it they could not go anywhere. The messiah knows this better than any other person. He does not proclaim himself, but other people looking at his work and realizing the benefit it brings, will make him the center of his home, his clan, nation, and the whole world.</p>
<p>Everyone will fight to make him the king of kings. They will look at him forever not only as their king, but their True Parent, also true teacher and true owner.</p>
<p>Who is the true teacher? He is the one who teaches everything he knows that is absolutely necessary for everyone. Without knowledge he knows that people cannot amount to anything, so he teaches them again and again. If there is nothing more to teach he will even research something new so he can have more to teach. That is a true teacher. Do you understand?</p>
<p>He is a true owner at the same time. What does that mean? He not only owns this position himself, but he wants to give this true ownership to everyone forever and ever. He wants to make all men owners, so that they don&#8217;t have to belong to anyone else. For example, America is a great country. If someone was the true owner of America he wouldn&#8217;t stop there. He would create an even bigger country outside. This true owner would be twice as rich then, but he wouldn&#8217;t want to keep it. He wants to give it to everyone. He creates and gives, over and over. He doesn&#8217;t take and give. Let us assume there is such an owner, a man of heart. God has a big gift box that He is dying to give away. He is trying to find someone worthy of receiving it. Is any American qualified to receive the big blessings of God? We aren&#8217;t that way now, but even the fact we are thinking that we need to become that qualified person will make God happy. God then has hope at least. He is waiting for the day He can give this big box to the true owner.</p>
<p>Father&#8217;s topic this morning is the realm of Heavenly liberation. What kind of place is heaven? Here in this world, we need our eyes. Is heaven a place where we no longer need them? We need our eyes in heaven too. Our eyes are dying to see the sights and scenes of true love in heaven. In heaven will men&#8217;s eyes by intoxicated by looking at another man? What will men&#8217;s eyes want to look at? What will women&#8217;s eyes want to look at? [Someone answers, &#8220;A true man will want to look at a true woman.&#8221;] What do you mean by true man? The hairiest man?</p>
<p>A true man is the one who has given up his life 100 times for others. The one who has given up his life more than 100 times is a more true man. You become more true in that fashion. Which kind of true man do you want to be? Do you want to give up your life just ten times, or 100 times or a million times? If there was such a person in the spirit world and your eyes could see him, what kind of relationship would you have with him? How can you envelope him? One way you can relate to that true man even though you may not be as great as him, is to become like a child to him. Trust yourself to him. How can you refuse a small innocent child who is completely trusting you and feels most peaceful in your bosom? Isn&#8217;t that one way of being a part of that true man? Any mother would give all her five senses and all her attention to that baby. She would devote everything to that child. What about God? Is God too great to be involved in that? God too, just like a devoted mother would pay all His attention to that baby. We prize concepts and good talk but would you trade that baby&#8217;s reality for millions and billions of concepts and words? No, this reality is greater. This entity of true love can never be traded. No one would want to trade him for millions of words or concepts or acts of love.</p>
<p>Is it easy or difficult to go to heaven? [Difficult.] How difficult? Let us think about one simple criteria. In the fallen world we always struggle to survive and go to heaven. Who has more chance of going to heaven? The one who fights the battle and survives or the one who fights and loses in this world. The one who wins over the battle in this evil world is the one who has the chance of going to heaven. If your loving wife says, &#8220;Oh, there are too many walls and they are too high to go over, why don&#8217;t we just give it up now?&#8221;, can that couple go to heaven? The husband should say, &#8220;Satan, get behind me.&#8221; The wife will not retreat peacefully either. She will jump, scratch and bite. If that is your wife will you fight against her or will you just give up fighting? Wait until she gets tired. Run her down and then carry her over into heaven. Father would like to see one example of this among the thousands of Unification Church members in America. If anyone has seen that person, please let Father know. Children will fight against you too. What can the parents do? They must put up with them and persevere. The country will throw a tantrum too, demanding that you aren&#8217;t being reasonable.</p>
<p>They will do everything, perhaps even putting you into jail. What can you do? All we have to do is persevere. Maybe you barely manage to gain the recognition of your country. Then the world will come against you, saying, &#8220;We don&#8217;t need a saint from another country. We will produce saints of our own country.&#8221; They want to protect themselves and push you out so what can you do? You are only a small man and not powerful yet. Can you hope to fight against them equally and still hope to go to heaven? No, you cannot go to heaven fighting. You simply have to persevere and do more.</p>
<p>We know now that God is the king of perseverance and He apparently still has a longer way to go and persevere. Therefore we must simply do the same; persevere and try harder, until God doesn&#8217;t have to persevere anymore.</p>
<p>Satan has been building walls throughout history. He will stop true man&#8217;s approach to his goal. But the true man should not fight against him. He should persevere and even love Satan more and after all this is done, even Satan will be able understand the power and happiness of love. Then Satan will bow down to the true man saying, &#8220;Your way is better than mine. Let me surrender to that idea and learn that new way of life from you.&#8221; This is the day when the solution to this complex world will begin. Once that happens the problems will be solved in no time.</p>
<p>How many people are willing to keep the same stance as God and that true man? Forget how many, is there even one person who has mentioned that stance here in the human world? Did anyone even teach this? What kind of person is Reverend Moon, the leader of the Unification Church? He is the only person who knows God&#8217;s tradition of sacrifice. He is the only person who knows who God is and what God has been doing all throughout history. Following this tradition faithfully, he has penetrated all the walls of the individual level, the family level, even to the highest level of Satan himself.</p>
<p>Now Father met Kim Il Sung. Father has now realized exactly what he envisioned. Only through true love could Father penetrate the thickest, biggest wall of communism and Kim Il Sung; the worst impenetrable wall the world has known. Father understood that the course he has been following was exactly right. He completely got what he expected out of Kim Il Sung.</p>
<p>Even Father was challenged in that situation. In 1976 or &#8217;78, Kim Il Sung employed twenty six assassins to kill Father. Kikamura was one of them. His trial is still pending in the United States courts. Not just one or two people were sent after Father, but over twenty and this is addition to the KGB which was at its strongest at that time.</p>
<p>How could Father go over that? He didn&#8217;t try to destroy them, but tried to love them and digest them and penetrate that thick wall so he could reach behind the Iron Curtain with brotherly love. It was not easy. It was relatively easy for Reverend Moon to love his own wife, children and disciples, but to love the archenemy of God and himself was not easy. How to accomplish that was his own challenge. Now Father could be so comforted in knowing that his understanding and actions were right and that his efforts were not in vain.</p>
<p>Father&#8217;s meeting with Gorbachev seemed to be a very simple encounter, but this isn&#8217;t so. It took all the energy Father had to survive and reach that point. After Gorbachev was penetrated by true love, he gave in and discussed many things with Reverend Moon. Look at how much the world changed in such a short time of one year. That is the Principle of &#8220;plus power.&#8221; If there is a strong positive, a strong negative will come out of nowhere into existence right away. Even Kim Il Sung, the strong minus, has an original mind, deeply hidden and guarded. But when this strong positive force like the core of God appears, he will be switched. The contents will be communicated and this giant plus and minus will mingle into one.</p>
<p>It is just like when a parent is dying and wants to communicate his will. No child, not even a bad one can resist that. By the same token this tremendous power of the true love of God was always directed to Kim Il Sung. When Kim Il Sung heard Reverend Moon speak, he could not resist. He opened his mind and received a flood of thought. Reverend Moon spoke to him on that level, saying &#8220;Don&#8217;t forget what I say.&#8221; In spite of himself, Kim will do things and think things. He didn&#8217;t plan for it to happen that way. Some call that a miracle but we would rather say a new creation is taking place.</p>
<p>As human beings, all of us have to stand in Father&#8217;s position and meet our challenge as individuals born here on earth. Have we ever loved another human being so deeply? Have you loved your wife the way a true husband would love her? Have you loved your husband the way a true wife would? As a parent, have we loved our children so truly? Have we ever loved our parents so truly? These are the points we have to challenge ourselves on today. We need to go exactly the same way as God and Father did. The ones who can reach the realm of heavenly liberation will be a true brother, a true child, a true couple and true parents also. He will be a true ancestor. These are all categorized as the true generation. For the true generation, all the walls that we find in the world will not exist in the realm of heavenly liberation. All the walls will be gone, therefore all can go into heaven. No matter how many people are living now, or how many lived in the past and are now in spirit world, by participating in the same love, they all have the ability to eventually go to this realm. In the same way children have the ability to go where their parents go.</p>
<p>If your finger has the touch of true love it doesn&#8217;t matter where you push through. It may be painful, but if it is a finger of true love you don&#8217;t mind. Actually that pain is a pleasure. A true love finger can travel anywhere and no one will mind.</p>
<p>The model of all the achievements here is simple enough: God gave us family. The regret and sorrow of God is that until this moment he could not find a text with which he could teach his loving children. He simply did not have a textbook. Why? Because everything is fallen, there is no prototype for such a textbook.</p>
<p>We must understand and go along with God&#8217;s historical desire and deep wish to teach right things to His true children. God&#8217;s other regret and deep sorrow has been that He could not find love between brothers. When we say brothers, sisters are included. Saying brothers and sisters doesn&#8217;t just mean between two people, there could be as many as thirteen or fourteen brothers and sisters. There was no textbook for God to teach them how they should live their lives. They remained ignorant. Another of God&#8217;s deep regrets is that He could not make a textbook by which He could teach the true husband and wife relationship. Husband and wife could not learn anything because there was no textbook and God couldn&#8217;t make it because there was no example. Today it doesn&#8217;t exist either. Nor could God teach true parents proper conduct towards their children. That textbook is not there. These four textbooks are lacking.</p>
<p>As soon as these four textbooks are complete and everybody learns their secrets, then Satan will be completely expelled from the face of this earth. Then we will see the kingdom of heaven come on this earth. We won&#8217;t have to wait to go to spirit world to see it. At that time no messiah, nor even religion will be necessary because people will already have fulfilled the goal of the messiah and religion. That is a world where everyone is intoxicated just as if they drank a lot of wine. They would be drunk with love. They wouldn&#8217;t want any more. Everybody would be full. That world is full of happiness and no want.</p>
<p>How then will God go about compiling those textbooks? For that purpose God picked one person who represents all manhood. He then picked out one woman to represent all womanhood. Centering on this couple, all perfection will take place when these four textbooks have been completed.</p>
<p>Here we focused on true love, that a man representing all mankind will live in true love. That true love will be the same among children and brothers and sisters and life. All these four loves are there. After that textbook is complete, is it easy or difficult to learn? After the book is written it is easy. Thanks to Father we already know the reason for our existence. We already know that woman exists for the sake of man and man exists for the sake of woman and that parents exist for the sake of children and children exist for the sake of their parents. Every individual lives for the sake of another, going beyond his own life to love others.</p>
<p>Why is it that a man needs a woman and a woman needs a man, absolutely and with no exception? If a couple gets along fine alone, why is it that they need to have children? Why is it that the more children they have, the better? Why not just one child? Because if there are more subjects and objects of love, there is so much more you learn. The larger the family the better.</p>
<p>Look at it this way. Why does man need woman? Because he needs a textbook to learn from. Man learns from woman. This was why God brought man and woman into existence. Why do we need brothers and sisters? So that we can learn to love the parents. Without loving each other, they cannot properly learn to love the parents. In this way every individual component is created for the sake of others. Amen!</p>
<p>If a brother loves so much that his whole purpose of existence is for his family members, and he lives that way more and more, even though it hurts him and he is not paid back for his efforts, he must then forget the hurt and begin again and again. His brothers are there to love him and he is there to love his brothers. God also looks down at him. All three elements of love are directed toward that individual. This is a holy position where he is the essence of God&#8217;s love.</p>
<p>Why should a family live for the sake of the nation? Why don&#8217;t we just forget about the country? It is because a country is not just one family. There are hundreds, and thousands, even millions of families like your own. That makes a nation a million times more precious than one family. It is the law of recreation, that the smaller entity should be absorbed by the larger entity. God created it that way. When you come to think like this, go into the subway and look around. You see so many people who aren&#8217;t just individuals, but heads of their families. Each one has a precious family as you do. You come to revere them and be sympathetic to their problems of managing a family. It may even strike you as awesome how so many people realize a family and reach to God. Think about those among them who will become prominent statesmen and maybe one day a president who can bring this country into prosperity and peace. Another may become a great doctor who one day when you need him can provide the cure for your problems. Then you can come to respect them. You will feel that all those people are there for your sake, able to provide for you as much as you can give to them. When you feel this respect towards them, it will be followed by love. Then you will feel thankfulness for everything.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it true that if you think like this in a crowd, then God looks down at you and will say, &#8220;He or she thinks like me.&#8221; He cannot miss that. After that, God will get right behind that person and protect him. When he is going into danger God will preserve him from the danger. This is reality. God truly does that.</p>
<p>Doing as much as Father has done for this country, how can he suppress his anger and disappointment? America is traditionally a country where they treat guests well. But Father is the guest of all guests. There has never been any more valuable guest to come to America throughout history. But he received nothing but persecution here. How does Father overcome that? Father says these people must want to see the character of God beyond any dispute or doubt or compromise in their imagination. They all want to see the perfect personality and character of God in Father, so Father keeps on persevering, thinking, &#8220;Thank you. You are trying to help me become more perfect. So I will try better and harder.&#8221; This is the way Father has lived in America. Jesus didn&#8217;t feel anger at those who pierced him with the spear. He simply felt sorry for them. Jesus felt more pitiful than angry towards the mob.</p>
[Referring to drawing on board.] All the steps here line up in a vertical arrangement. This family system is a unit. The national level is an expansion of the same situation. It expands to the world level with the same contents and same situation. That will expand to the cosmos and then the greatest expansion place which is heaven. Do you understand? The concept and contents is the same. That is living for the sake of others.</p>
<p>Father&#8217;s conclusion: there is no one living entity which exists for its own sake. Not one. Isn&#8217;t it true that man and woman are even physically built for each other? Did God create man first and then see what was happening? Or did God have the concept of love very clear before He started to create human beings? Man&#8217;s reality is to live for the sake of others. That is God&#8217;s concept. Man must live for others. First comes concept and that is to love others. Second is reality and that is the opposite sex and partnership. Man first has to think about love and then he has to think about woman. But this love is for the sake of others. If he thinks about himself, he is Satan. If he thinks about everyone except himself, he is God-like.</p>
<p>Father lived for the sake of Kim Il Sung too. It is not because Kim Il Sung drew Father but Father drew Kim Il Sung. Father confirmed this to us today. America also may go against Father, but there will be one day when the whole country will kneel down before Reverend Moon once they know what he has been doing for America. The question will be who won? You know the answer. As of today, is America winning or is Reverend Moon winning? In terms of true love Reverend Moon won. He won in terms of God&#8217;s formula.</p>
<p>Reverend Moon carried on that same way of life in Danbury prison. It also worked there. For some reason all the prison inmates were drawn to Reverend Moon. They didn&#8217;t know why, but they felt drawn to him. There always seemed to be more people in the room where Father was. No one told them to do that, but they naturally did. When they finished their terms and were about to leave, they would always come to report to Father. They would cry just like they were leaving their own family. Reverend Moon was only a yellow guy, but these white men would come to him with respect. How about you? Do you love me or not? How much? Even though we would have to give up America, we would rather follow Father. So the nationality boundary, the race boundary, the tradition and cultural boundaries are no problem. We can solve all of them with unification. Let&#8217;s do it! That&#8217;s all!</p>
<p>Now we see the possibility of heaven being liberated. Heaven is bound and gagged now, but this is the way we can liberate it. Then all things are restored as God intended. The liberation of women will also take place. This is where the four textbooks will be fulfilled. With that, God will be able to travel anywhere He wants. He will be able to direct all mankind into any direction He wants. There will be no more sorrow, no more burden and no more tasks to do. God will finally rest. This is the realm of the liberation of heaven. This is where God can rest in peace for the first time. We must realize that we are living for that day. We are living according to the textbook on how to become true children, how to become true brothers and sisters to each other, how to become a true husband or wife and how to become true parents. When we live like this we are surely and steadily going to this area of liberated heaven where even hell can be converted into heaven. We must understand that ahead of us, True Parents are treading surely into that direction. That is all they are doing.</p>
<p>In True Parent&#8217;s family, these four textbooks are already well under way. The textbook to learn what true children should be is first. Secondly, the textbook which teaches what true brothers and sisters should be. Third, the textbook which teaches what true couples, or true husband and wife should be and lastly what the true parents should be. Those four textbooks are already healthily well underway. That is what the true family is developing. Amen!</p>
[Father addressed each of his sons by name] All brothers, you have to memorize Father&#8217;s speech this morning. Do you understand? [Then his daughters] You have to make that standard of a true family system. Do you understand? You have to make that kind of tradition. Its not so easy. Don&#8217;t forget Father&#8217;s speech this morning. Say it in a loud voice. Yes!</p>
