[Mr. Peter Kim calls upon the audience to welcome True Parents back home with applause.]

When it comes to the meaning of the history of restoration, the entire history of mankind has to be reversed beginning from Adam’s family. The fallen human history began with Adam’s family. Therefore, the culmination of the history of restoration comes through acquiring, firstly, the elder son’s birthright; secondly, the restoration of True Parentship; and thirdly, the restoration of kingship. These three must be restored in order to conclude the history of restoration. This restoration has to be done firstly at the horizontal level. Because these three things were all lost at the horizontal level with Adam’s family. The perfected Adam was supposed to stand in the position of the elder son of the entire mankind in front of God. At the same time, Adam was supposed to stand in the position of the True Parent of humankind. Eventually he would have stood in the position of the true king. These were the three major goals that Adam’s family was supposed to have achieved.

Even though this foundation was lost at the time of Adam on the family level, when Jesus came he actually came as the second son. In terms of the satanic world point of view he was not in the position of the elder son. However, the history of restoration is the history of reversing. If we reverse the entire history, then Jesus could be in the position of the elder son. Through this process Jesus could have restored the elder son’s birthright, True Parentship and kingship at the national level. However, due to the crucifixion of Jesus, that national level restoration failed. Because of that failure, Father is accomplishing this worldwide restoration based upon those three major steps.

Because of Adam’s failure, then the children of Adam and Eve fought and the conclusion was tragic. That particular tragedy expanded to the national level at the time of Jesus. The failure in Jesus’ time was at the national level and so it became further expanded to the point where the Lord of the Second Advent came. Now, the Lord of the Second Advent, as True Parents has to culminate this history which is now at the worldwide level of Cain and Abel confrontation. If Jesus had accomplished his mission at the national level, he would have still had the further mission to digest and embrace the Roman empire. In the same way, even if Father accomplishes his mission in this particular time period at the worldwide level, there is still a further step to go. That is the cosmic level where the entire spiritual world and physical world have to be embraced by Father. This can be interpreted as the Kingdom of God on earth as well as in heaven. We should have this concept very clearly within us.

Once again Father would like to emphasize that at the time of Jesus, even if he had accomplished his mission at the national level, there would have still been the mission and responsibility of Jesus’ followers and the Jewish people. This was that they be truly united in an embrace with one another and Jesus in order to restore and embrace the Roman empire which stood in the position of the world. Jesus was to stand in the position of the true subject of elder sonship, and the true subject of True Parentship, and the true subject of true kingship. Then the people of Israel were supposed to be in the position of true object of the elder sonship, true object of True Parentship, and true object of true kingship. By doing so they should have been totally united. If that truly had happened, who could have been the center of all those subject and object relationships at three different levels? True Mother at the time of Jesus. Because at the time of the Fall, Eve lost everything. At the time of the restoration course everything is in reverse. Eve can restore everything. That was supposed to become the foundation of the culture of Christianity.

However, because of the crucifixion, this very foundation was lost. But because of the resurrection of Jesus, in the spiritual realm these foundations have been established for the past 2000 years. The culmination of this expansion was illustrated clearly at the time of World War II through the allied countries of America, England and France, and the axis countries of Japan, Germany and Italy. This demonstrated clearly the separation between Cain and Abel spiritually. However, since the end of World War II when the allied countries won the victory, the substantial foundation was set to receive the Lord of the Second Advent. Based upon the Christian foundation, True Father appeared and they were supposed to unite with him totally so that the world could be restored.

In fact, this particular window of opportunity presented at the time of the allied countries’ victory at the end of World War II, was the first time in the entire human history that the original Eve’s position, elder sonship, True Parentship and kingship could have been restored. Had this occurred during the seven years following World War II then the entire Korean peninsula would have been united without any need for division between north and south. Of course centered upon the Moon tribe the entire Korean peninsula could have united. The center of this would have been Father’s immediate family as the seed of this entire unification. But then centering upon True Father and True Mother the True Family would have been established and the true Moon clan would have been established and North and South Korea would have been united. Had this occurred, then the unification of the world would have been easy. The entire history of humankind would have culminated there.

As we know, Christianity and the countries centered upon Christianity, America, England and France, opposed Father. That is why this dream was shattered. Then Father was chased out into the wilderness, Father’s family was torn apart, the nation of Korea was divided into two, and figures such as Kim Il Sung appeared as the symbol of Satan. Nothing was salvaged. Therefore Father had to work on making Kim Il Sung surrender naturally as well as the former Soviet Union centered upon Gorbachev. At the same time Father was working upon this country of America. Because Father had to restore this four thousand years of human history within the last forty years. Therefore Father began from the wilderness as a single person who was chased out. Everything was torn apart and taken away. Yet Father began rebuilding the foundation one step at a time up until this point. We can see all kinds of breakdowns occurring in the world; individual breakdown, family breakdown, value system breakdown. All manner of chaos has been happening in the world. This actually helped people to recognize that Father’s ideology has to be the core and the force to unite all these broken down families and units of the world.

Due to the Fall we lost the family. In the last forty years we have seen millions of families broken down. Through the blessing Father has created new families with new heavenly traditions and sent them out to their own tribes in order to restore them. It is like reversing the modern current. Communistic countries opposed this, Kim Il Sung opposed, America opposed. But Father has been constantly pushing them backward and has been successful. In Korea the CARP movement has always been attacked by radical communistic students. However, an interesting phenomenon is occurring since the Declaration of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age. These radical student groups are now working with our CARP movement and supporting us. In their analysis, in the past they heavily relied upon Kim Il Sung for the reunification of Korea. But since his death they see that there is no-one else other than Father to rely upon to accomplish this. Therefore they have now come to support our work in Korea.

Satan has worked hard to destroy all of the structures of the world. But now, even the satanic world itself has to recognize the victory of Father, from the individual level, tribal level and national level. Structurally, Father is now organizing and launching the attack from the family level, the tribal level and the national level. It must be recognized that to a certain extent, Father’s ideology is now being accepted within the world. Everywhere in the world the family problem is the most important key, but nobody gives any solution to this except True Father. Within the family unit we find man, woman, elder son, younger son, elder daughter, younger daughter. Everything is included there. Man is the representative of the man’s world and woman is the representative of the woman’s world. The same is true of sons and daughters. Within this unit of the family we find true couple, true son and daughter, true brotherhood, true daughterhood. Everything is included there. Blessed families have to have that kind of concept. They represent everything historically. We must understand the historical value of a Blessed couple. We must have absolute conviction and faith that no matter what level of opposition may come to us we can still march forward and accomplish our mission. Blessed couples should stand on the foundation of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience.

At the time of the creation, God had that absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience within Him. God does not have any other concepts in His mind. From this concept comes the ideal of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. As Blessed couples we have to be able to go over these three absolute bases of faith, love and obedience. Do you clearly understand? We must have this clearly in our minds. Who then has to be ultimately responsible to restore this elder son’s birthright, True Parentship, and kingship? Eve. Why? Because the Fall of man took place within Adam’s family beginning with Eve. Eve is the one who chased out the future perfection of Adam, the future perfection of father, and the future perfection of king at the family level. Eve chased out these three possibilities. Father wants us to have a clear understanding of this reality.

Father would like to ask you, do you think the restoration of America will come about more easily and quickly or do you think that the restoration of Japan will come about more easily and quickly? Actually we need to restore the United Nations first because each nation belongs to the satanic realm. That satanic grip is very tight and will not be released easily. If we deal with the United Nations which is a worldwide organization, then the grip is more loose. Therefore it is easier to work with the United Nations because it is worldwide in concept. The satanic domination of the world is still occurring at the national level. If we go beyond the national level and deal with the United Nations, Satan cannot do so much. If the people of the entire world could have the understanding, belief and concept of living their lives for the sake of the entire world, then the unification of the world could be achieved easily. That very concept will build the Kingdom of God right here on earth which will lead to the Kingdom of God in heaven, centering upon True Love. Do you all understand that? This is the formula course. Without going through this formula course we cannot arrive at the solution.

When we look at the worldwide situation today, most problems are being caused by women. Satan is dancing around and pleased by what the women in the world are up to. They are causing all kinds of family breakdowns, going after free sex, enjoying their physical lives. Satan is enjoying all of these things and proclaiming that the entire world is almost within his grasp. This is totally opposite to the teachings and goals of the Unification Church. Unification Church members have this center core of faith from the individual level to the worldwide level. Therefore, when we recite the Family Pledge number two it states: Centering upon True Love we representatives of God and True Parents will become the sons and daughters of filial piety at the family level and patriots at the national level, saints at the worldwide level and holy sons and daughters at the cosmic level.

When we look at the world at large, we cannot find any concept of sons of filial piety, patriots, saints and holy sons and daughters. Because they all believe in everything centered upon their physical desire. They don’t even think about anything else. In the world people even commit incest and do not care. This is how much the heavenly order has been broken down. There is absolutely no order within the satanic world right now. Therefore we have to restore it. You women, do you understand? Please answer Father. (Yes Father.) In God’s mind there is no such concept as individualism. That is the seed sown by the Devil from the beginng. Do you understand Father? (Yes Father.) We must have a clear understanding of this. This is not random talk by Father, rather this is the fundamental formula of mankind. What did Eve do at the time of the Fall? She caused the division of the mind and body of human beings, division and separation of husband and wife, division amongst the children. Eventually the very act of Eve’s fall created the separation between heaven and earth which developed into the history of war.

God was not able to interfere with human history and do away with all of this evil power. However, God’s representatives always offered to be hit and due to that indemnity condition God was able to take another step forward. For the sake of children throughout history, parents had to sacrifice their own lives in order for restoration to take place. The heavenly side has always been attacked first and through that condition restoration has been able to advance. By this method God has been exhibiting and showing to the children of Satan how parental heart has been working throughout history. By being sacrificed the people of the world, standing in the position of the children, realized what kind of sacrifice Parents offered. Through that heart the history of restoration has been possible. Through this realization, these children on Satan’s side eventually began distancing themselves from Satan and moving towards God.

The history of restoration is that of being struck first and claiming back what originally belonged to you. Therefore, Father concluded that unless the mothers of American children here are willing to sacrifice your lives for the sake of these American children there is no hope to restore this nation of America. You should be willing to sacrifice even your life, shedding your blood. But when Father looks at American women in general, there are not so many who are able to do that. However, there are many who are totally against that kind of teaching and practice of life. God’s providential viewpoint is 180 degrees different to that of all American women. How difficult is this to accomplish? Which way do you consider easier; pulling out your eyes or establishing True Mothership in America?

Even if we have to lose all five senses, it will still be easier than restoring American mothers. Because of these five senses, thousands of years of human history have been stained. How can we clean this up? Do you have the confidence to make this clean? No matter how difficult our situation is we have to go beyond this point and understand God and True Parent’s anguish. Satan has tried to destroy True Parents’ elder lineage.

The human history is one of conflict between mind and body. Who was the cause of this? Eve. Therefore the restoration of the Cain and Abel relationship can be interpreted as the history of restoring true man and true woman. The Cain and Abel unit is the key to restoring true man and true woman. Because of the separation of mind and body in the Garden of Eden, the mind developed into the culture centered upon religion and the body developed into the satanic culture. The mind is on God’s side and the body is on Satan’s side. We have to reunite them again. We are now at the worldwide level and centering upon the world of religion and politics, we need to bring them into total unity with one another. That is why Father has established the Religious Federation for World Peace, the Federation for World Peace, and the Women’s Federation for World Peace. When it comes to the relationship between the Religious Federation for World Peace and the United Nations, they are like Abel and Cain. Who has to accomplish this task? Women have to accomplish it. That is why Father founded the Women’s Federation for World Peace for this purpose. Without the appearance of True Mother we cannot even think about uniting Cain and Abel.

Christianity opposed Father and was unable to fulfill its goal at the end of World War II. Now Mother should appear and unite Abel and Cain represented by America and the United Nations. America is in the position of Abel and the United Nations is in the position of Cain. Centering upon the Holy Spirit, Cain and Abel must now become substantially united. At the spiritual level, the Abel countries of America, England and France, and the Cain countries of Japan, Germany and Italy have to be united at the physical level. Jesus lost his body on the cross and so we have to restore Jesus’ body through bringing about this physical unity of Cain and Abel. At the time of Jesus, there was failure at the national level. Now, at the time of the Lord of the Second Advent, at the worldwide level this has to be accomplished through True Parents at this particular time. The Abel countries of America, England and France must be united and stand in the position to be united with True Parents’ family. Centering upon True Parents, True Children will be in the Abel position and the free nations will be in the Cain position. Originally, Jesus was supposed to fulfill his mission by the age of forty but he failed. At the age of forty Father was supposed to be able to accomplish his entire goal; the unification of the entire world at the end of World War II.

Between the ages of thirty three and forty, Jesus was supposed to fulfill his mission. In the case of Father, from 1945 to 1952 was the seven year time period when Father could have accomplished his mission. But due to the failure of Christianity, this time period was postponed another forty years until 1992. Then finally True Mother emerged as a physical substantial True Mother to the entire world and proclaimed True Parents and the Completed Testament Age as a living Holy Mother. Prior to this declaration Mother was supposed to declare the liberation of the women of the world which she did on April 10, 1992. Without achieving the liberation of the women of the world they could not come up to True Mother’s place. Therefore, Mother liberated all of these women and Mother stepped up to the True Mother position. Centering upon True Mother all women are connected as one body, centering upon Father, one man. Do you understand? All of womanhood can be connected with True Mother as one body and Satan cannot touch that.

Throughout history, women, beginning with Eve, were the cause of the murder of man, God’s representative. In Adam’s family, because of Eve, Adam was killed eventually. At the time of Jesus, because there was no substantial Eve, Jesus was killed at the national level. At the time of the Lord of the Second Advent, Father was chased out into the wilderness, symbolizing being killed by Christianity, the bride religion. The women of the world must now be totally united with True Mother and become one body centered upon True Father, one man. Women must realize that they are the ones who have killed ideal man three times throughout history. That makes women in the position of unforgivable sinners. That is how you should think. You should think that not one single cell of your body is worthy of dealing with God directly.

All women must be truly grateful and thankful to God to think that in spite of so much blood having been shed, and all kinds of difficulties caused throughout history by us, yet because of the heart and love of God and True Parents we are finally being forgiven. What else can we do except offer our gratitude to God? This is the point you have to start with. You women must prepare yourselves not to deal with the satanic world at all; not even through your looking, smelling, hearing, feeling or anything. You should cut off everything from the Satanic world and turn yourself towards God and become attuned to God. The only secret for you to be able to accomplish this is to have absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. That is the only way that you will be able to cleanse yourselves and attune yourselves to God.

The Lord of the Second Advent cannot simply appear out of the blue and proclaim himself. But due to this kind of formula course throughout history, now the Lord of the Second Advent finally appears in this world. If you accept this as a reality then you also must accept that you must go through the formula course which was given by True Parents. Why did Father create the Religious Federation for World Peace and the Federation for World Peace? Because Father could not trust the function of the United Nations any more. Because it is connected with Satan’s side. Father feels that the time has come when we have to go beyond the United Nations level and unify everything. Who has to play the major role to do this? Because Eve, the mother figure separated human history originally, then women have to be at the vanguard of this work. Even though Cain and Abel exist through the organizations of the Religious Federation for World Peace and the United Nations, we still need an organization to stand in the position of the mother. Therefore Father created the Women’s Federation for World Peace. Finally, for the first time in human history, the time has come when women in the world can play a major role in restoring this entire world, as long as they are totally united and become one with True Mother. Through True Mother women can play the major role in Mother’s place at the horizontal level.

Just as True Mother herself is practicing this, the women in the world must obey True Father who is in the position of the true bridegroom. The Fall of man came about due to the disobedience of Eve. In order to restore that you must give your absolute obedience, absolute faith and abolute love to True Father. Because Eve failed to take this standpoint, everything was lost. Do you have a clear understanding now? (Yes.) If you truly understand Father’s message today, then suppose Father tells sisters to go to Africa. Then they should be ready to answer willingly, without hesitation, that they will go. You should be able to do this if you have absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. On the earth Father’s position represents God’s position.

Our goal is to restore our family, our nation and the world. This is our goal. We have to understand how extraordinary a mission it is. For the first time in human history one true man declares to the world: centering upon me, as true man, I want to motivate all of the women in the world in order to restore this world. American women particularly need to clearly understand this. American culture is the bride culture of Christianity; Eve’s position. However, they lost everything. But now the bridegroom is teaching everything to you. You must understand this and follow with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Don’t forget this. When it comes to doing your public mission, you have to drop everything and strictly follow God’s command. Even if you gained everything else but lost God, then you have lost everything. We have to find God again and then everything else will fall into place.

The goal of establishing the Women’s Federation for World Peace is to restore all the women of the world through True Mother. Women find themselves in all kinds of situations throughout the world, yet through declaring the liberation of the women of the world, True Mother can now finally unite them. Looking at the women of the world from Father’s point of view, spiritually True Mother is like the original bride of the bridegroom. Whereas the rest of the women in the world are in the position of concubines. It is like a Cain and Abel relationship with True Mother standing in the position of Abel, and the rest of the women of the world in the position of Cain. Spiritually we can interpret it in this way. However, physically speaking, once you become totally one with True Mother we don’t need the concept of concubine anymore. Because now you meet the perfected Adam who has restored the elder sonship. Therefore you no longer need to deal with the concept of Archangel which means you no longer need to be in the position of concubine.

The restored Adam has now appeared and so you no longer need the Archangelic type of husband. In the fallen world we can see from existing situations between the legal wife and the concubine or mistress, that often the concubine actually loves the man more. By the same token, you who stand spiritually in the position of concubine, should love True Father even more than True Mother loves Father. Your physical husbands are in the position of archangel-type husbands. True Father is in the position of true husband. Therefore, you have to love God through Father more than you love your physical husband. Without you doing this there is no way for restoration to take place. Now because of this kind of relationship the Unification Church is facing a tremendous amount of trouble and opposition.

Father has begun to give the blessing at the family level and even going beyond the family level. Do you understand? Because Eve originally separated mind and body in humankind, at the culmination of human history finally True Mother has appeared and declared the liberation of women. Through this, the entire body of women in the world can be united with True Mother and through this united with True Father becoming totally one. This is the time. You are in the same position as True Mother now because you are engrafted. You are not the fallen mother who is going downwards, but rather in the restored mother’s position who is going upwards. In order to head upward, your mind and body should be totally united and become one with True Parents. Practically at what level? At the United Nations level. Do you understand?

Today the United Nations has only one function and that is dealing with the sovereignties of over 160 nations of the world. However, what they are lacking is religious activity and women’s activity. That is why the Women’s Federation for World Peace and the Religious Federation for World Peace are going to work with the United Nations. Then eventually this external United Nations will stand in the position of Cain and then a more internal level will be established centered upon the Youth Federation for World Peace and the Family Federation for World Peace which will represent Abel. Once we have these two Cain and Abel United Nations totally united the entire world will begin turning to become the completely restored and perfected world. At that point we will take a break. (Laughter.)

Centering upon the family we will have the Youth Federation and the Family Federation. We will have the second generation in front of us; the external and internal aspects of the United Nations as Cain and Abel centered upon True Mother. Representing the family level, the Youth Federation for World Peace and the Family Federation for World Peace will also be in the Cain and Abel positions centered upon True Mother. These will work together. Family levels can be divided into eight different stages, from the individual level to the cosmic level. The stages may be different but the formula course is the same; applicable to every different level. When you have that kind of qualification, that kind of conviction then you can claim that you are ready to follow True Father as a bride. This is the formula course.

On a larger scale, North America and South America are in the position of Cain and Abel. One is centered upon Protestantism and the other is centered upon Catholicism. North America, which is centered upon Protestantism and South America which is centered upon Catholicism, should become totally one as Cain and Abel. This would create a larger scale Abel position towards the rest of the world in the position of Cain. At the time of Jesus the thief on the right and the thief on the left were divided. Thus the entire world has been divided into left and right and there has been no solution to this dilemma until True Parents appeared. It is only centered upon True Parents that they can be united again. This is all just an expansion of the disunity that occurred within Adam’s family at the time of the Fall.

The United States also has its Cain and Abel represented by the political world base and the religious world base. They should become united into one centered upon Eve, represented by Japanese women and American women’s sisterhood. This has taken place based upon Japanese women’s relationship with Korean women. Adam and Eve nations combined into one and then expanded to include the Archangel nations. All men are connected there. All men will like that. That means that women are connected from Adam’s nation, Eve’s nation and Archangel’s nation centered upon the Christian world which means the bride culture background. All women are connected with this America which represents the Christian world, Abel’s position. This is equivalent to restoring the lost Mother’s position. Do you understand? All the American women have to do that kind of restoration. They must reach out to the Protestant world, unite with the Catholic world and bring them to the parents. They must become one, and they have to begin by uniting with South America.

That is why, since Father began his providence centered upon South America, Father has been launching this new campaign. Centering upon the Women’s Federation for World Peace, high level representatives of each nation should become the heads of the Women’s Federation for World Peace in each nation. To adopt them is our campaign. Once we have achieved that goal, all these men, no matter what position they may hold within a nation, will all become connected to the women. This is the historical course because we are now reaching the end of the history of restoration. Now husbands, who are in the position of archangel, must come through Eve, the mother figure. That is why the women of the world, the mothers must be united with True Mother and be on Father’s side and restore your children and bring your husband along to be restored.

Are you willing to become the front line champions on the worldwide level, you poor ladies? What is the meaning of restoring the kingship? If there is a king figure it automatically means there has to be a queen figure. If you are in the position of queen you can command all of the men in the world. Once we become successful with this goal of uniting North and South America, then all the African kings of fifty one nations will immediately join with us. Then all the heads of the Women’s Federation for World Peace in each nation will work with the United Nations. Just imagine what we will be able to do with that kind of unity and power. They can work with the young people, with the students. It is not an easy task, but it has to be done.

At the end of World War II, Christianity, centered upon this America, chased Father out into the wilderness. Because of that failure all American women were doomed to go to Hell. However, because of God’s grace you have been liberated and given a second chance. Right now the United Nations has an enormous debt of almost 3 billion dollars. But suppose the Youth Federation for World Peace, the Women’s Federation for World Peace and the Religious Federation for World Peace jointly come up with the funds to pay off this debt. Do you think that the United Nations would welcome that? (Yes.) If we can collect say forty cents from the entire population of the world we can pay off this debt. If we do that don’t you think that Father will gain the support of the world?

This is the first time in human history when we have the possibility to turn the entire world around. Therefore, if in your family your husband is not working hard, you wives should kick him out of the house and have him work for God. Vice versa, if your wife is not working hard, you husbands should kick her out of the house and have her work with True Parents. The same principle can be applied in terms of the parents and children relationship; they should chase each other out to do the public work. If we do that do you think that your family will perish or prosper? But we haven’t practiced this principle. From now on, are you determined to accomplish this? This is your last chance. We need action by going out and meeting the people.

One of the major problems that the world is facing today is that of the environment. Since Father came to South America he began planting trees throughout the entire continent. The second biggest problem is that of pollution. Many pure and young people begin to flock into urban areas from the countryside and then become criminals. They become the cause of social evils and crimes. Therefore, we have to send them back to the countryside and have them work in the rural areas in order to develop. Because those youth coming from the countryside without skills and little education, end up with all manner of juvenile problems. That is why we have to send them back to where they belong. In order to achieve that goal, we have to cultivate and develop the countryside where we can plant trees, do fish farming and employ more modern methods of farming. This way the countryside can attract these young people back home.

We can interpret the Fall as Adam and Eve’s failure to love the land, failure to love animals, failure to love each other and failure to love God. Where can we restore and accomplish the original ideal of creation? In the countryside, not in the urban cities. In order to do this we have to learn again how to love the land and animals. In order to do this we first have to acquire a ranch. We have to raise all kinds of animals, even lions and tigers. (Laughter.) When we have a surplus of animals we can bring hunters there and create equilibrium again. Through having an experience of loving this entire creation, we can learn the heart of God. How excited and happy God’s heart felt just after the creation. We even have to raise rats and mice and release them. Even poisonous snakes as well. If you truly raise even poisonous snakes with your love then they would never bite you.

Father discovered something amazing recently in South America and that was eagles and a small chick playing together without harm. Father saw eight large eagles and one small chicken there with them, but they did not harm it. Father wondered what was happening. But Father was told that there was plenty of food for them and so they had no need to kill it. There are delicious bananas and papayas and all manner of fruits there. The rivers are filled with all manner of fish and so the eagles don’t care to kill chicken for food.

If we bring all the troubled youth from the inner-city areas and have them live there, do you think that they would still fight each other? Once you fulfill your roles as mothers then Father will run out of work because you will do all the work. There will be nothing for Father to do anymore. Father plans to build an ideal Garden of Eden in South America with all kinds of flowers, trees and animals, and all kinds of performing arts. Through this all the youth of the world can be drawn there. Are you interested in this plan? (Yes.) Would you like to show your interest while you are sitting and laughing, or while you are running, or while you are working really hard? Which way are you going to show your interest? (Through working.)

If we compare Japanese and Americans we can see that the Japanese are like ants who are constantly working, even though they may move slowly, taking small steps. Whereas Americans can be compared to grasshoppers, taking the easy way. You may have a good time during summer but when winter comes the grasshopper will suffer. But Reverend Moon is working even harder than those Japanese ants. The Reverend Moon ant is constantly growing. When he was a small ant, people opposed him and were constantly trying to eat him up. But now he is so big that nobody can oppose him anymore. Even though America is a big country, she could not eat Father because he became as big as a mountain.

Father is going to solve this human pollution problem through educating and urging these young people from the countryside, who have become corrupted in the inner-cities, to go back to their home towns again. As long as the people of America care about their own country more than they care about the world, this people pollution will remain. It will even go on another 200 years without being resolved. We have to go beyond national boundaries in terms of love and care. Father is the only one, for the first time in human history, who has been devoting his entire life to restoring and loving this entire world going beyond national boundaries. Women now have to play this role in the world. If you are willing to do that then Father is going to teach you how to do that. Do you have confidence? (Yes.)

The third problem we face is that of famine. Every year we are losing over 15-20 million innocent lives because of the problem of famine. On the other hand American people waste a tremendous amount of food but nobody cares about this point. Father has been working on this problem day and night all these years. Since the world population is approximately 5 billion, if every 200 people unit took responsibility for one starving person, this famine problem could be solved. Who is going to do this? Unificationists are the ones to do it. That is why Father has been preparing this Oceanic Enterprise. As long as there is land and water, there is no need for people to die of hunger. As long as there is water the fish don’t die. As long as there is food and land the animals don’t starve. Therefore why should man, who is the highest being in creation, have to die of starvation? Mankind has not been taught properly. Please do not misunderstand Father. Father may go to South America and do some fishing here and there but that is not his goal. Father is concerned with saving all these innocent lives that we are losing every year. Fishing after the age of seventy is something Father does here and there, but this is not his primary goal.

There are certain species of fish, such as shrimp and squid that only live for one year. God created them in such a way that they can be food for mankind. Billions of fish die naturally every year. While we are losing innocent human lives what is so bad about catching and eating fish. We have to use fish as much as we can to save human lives. That is why Father is planning to create farms where we can raise abundant numbers of fish and animals so that we can save all these innocent lives. Besides these three major problems there is the problem of education. Tremendous efforts are being made by Reverend Moon to educate this world. Incredible financial sacrifice is being made in order to establish the World University Association through the University of Bridgeport so that people can be educated properly and thus be able to educate the people of the world. Eventually we will establish a United Nations University.

All of the so-called Ivy League Colleges were supposed to work together in order to educate the leaders of the world. However, they were so busy fighting and competing with one another that they did not produce any world level leaders. That is why Father is creating the United Nations University so that we can mobilize those good Universities and Colleges in order to educate and train world level leaders. Through this all of humanity can be educated. We are also considering correspondence courses as a means of educating. Even for the sake of human health, plans are being developed to combine oriental medicine and western medicine in order to produce a more unified medicine for the sake of humanity’s health. Father wants to add spiritual medicine as well. We are not only talking about it, but we are actually doing it. The next six years from now until the year 2000 are critical. It is a time period when we must come up with the solution to the world’s problems. Otherwise the entire world will perish.

In conclusion, do you think that we have to do all of these projects or not? (Yes.) Actually Father initiated this task fifteen years ago centered upon Uruguay. He began laying the foundation and connected it to Argentina and Brazil and Paraguay. Until the demise of communism and the Soviet Union, Paraguay was the base of the KGB operation for the entire South American continent. That is why Father could not touch it, but as soon as that period was over he initiated these projects centered upon Paraguay. That is why Father visited Paraguay and initiated so much there. What Father did in the country of Paraguay is so extraordinary and dramatic that persons in the position of reporting Father’s activities in South America should be much more excited.

In the country of Uruguay, the formal education ends at college level. The government provides the funds for everyone to go to college there. The country of Uruguay is located between Argentina and Brazil. If Father were to remain in Uruguay for one full year then maybe the entire country could be turned around.

Father has been preparing all of you women so you can become heads of state, and representatives of each country to the United Nations. Now what do you think the next level will be that we will challenge? We will start building a super highway connecting the whole of South America which will ultimately link to the North American continent. Suppose a super highway is built that links all of those thirty two nations in the South American continent so that all kinds of trade can occur freely. The unity of these nations can become even stronger than those super power nations.

Then all the surplus food from Canada and America should be transported down to the border line between Mexico and the United States and stored there. Then when we need them, we can distribute them to the countries where they are needed via the super highway. Because in reality the United States has too much surplus that they are unable to store properly. Then they simply dump this out at sea. That is the reality.

Do you think that Father is bringing enormous benefit to this world or harming it? (Benefit.) But Father had to go through all kinds of misery in order to achieve this goal. In the world people have chased after the most expensive food in fancy restaurants while Father has tried to save time and money by eating hamburgers. That is the kind of life that Father has been living. Do you follow? In order to save these 20 million lives who are dying of starvation every year, Father officially announced this super highway idea fifteen years ago at the Science Conference in Seoul, Korea. Therefore, we have to build this super highway eventually in the African continent as well in order to save those people.

South America has plenty of electrical power available for us to be able to build electrical trains. Whereas a continent like Africa, has so little electrical power available. Therefore we can build a super highway utilizing the oceans and rivers in order to transport things. Suppose Father tells every American woman to be responsible to build one kilometer of super highway. Will you do that? Even if it costs you your house and property will you do so?

Are you willing to make a commitment today, that you will absolutely follow Father’s direction and accomplish your mission? (YES!) Raise your hands. If you truly do what you pledge today, you will rest where Father will rest. You may be buried in the same garden or the same valley. If Father asks you to sell one-fifth of your entire assets are you willing to do so? If you have to sell your property and donate half of the proceeds you can do so and move into an apartment. If you do so America will be saved. At the time of Jesus there is a story that one particular person was supposed to sell his property and donate the money for the sake of God, but instead he hid some of his assets and was then struck by lightning and died. Father has spent every penny for the public purpose. When it comes to Father’s own life he is very stingy. We have to know that. Once we truly understand this, then you cannot lift up your head in front of Father and argue about anything.

Father has spent so many hours shedding his sweat in order to explain to you today what Father has been doing in South America. What Father said today is like a providential declaration. Even if we don’t take what Father said today seriously and keep up with it, the history will prove that what Father said was right and it was said centered upon God. History will prove this fact.

REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

April 23, 1995
Belvedere — International Training Center
Translator – Peter Kim

Can one of you interpret this? Repeat after me: Chigeum butauneun supni sajuck tae seungni shidae. UTS Korean students: chigeum butauneun means from now on. [It’s time for great victory?] Pretty close, yes. Supni sajuck tae seungni shidae means “The Age of Great Victory in the History of God’s Providence.” This is the vertical relationship [pointing to the blackboard]: from God, Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel. Over here are Satan, Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel.

We need the Age of Great Victory in the History of God’s Providence because of the human fall. Now at the end of human history we have to restore the origin of history. Once we go back to the original point of history, what do we have? What does the history of God’s providence mean? It is the history of restoration and also the history of indemnity. By paying indemnity we restore history.

Because we lost everything in Adam’s family, we have to restore everything back from Adam’s family. That is the reversal way. Therefore, in the end God and Adam’s family will remain. Of course, this family includes Cain and Abel. No matter how long the course of human history, since we have to reverse history in order to restore it, we have no choice but to base restoration on the family unit. Our focus is not the national level or worldwide level, but the family. The family has to be restored first.

America is a superpower and is now the leading country of the world; there are many other powerful countries in the world, but there has been no God-centered Adam and Eve and no God-centered nation. The true America and the true religion have not existed. God and Adam’s family is the original starting point. That is the absolute starting point which was lost at the fall. The reversal course of restoration is based on God’s providential history. From God’s point of view, what does it mean to restore human history? First, it means restoring elder sonship, parenthood, and kingship. Those three categories must be restored. Throughout restoration history there have always been obstacles. Those obstacles were these very three categories: elder sonship, parenthood, and kingship. Therefore, God’s history of restoration has been focusing on getting rid of these obstacles. The course of history from God’s point of view is 180 degrees opposite from Satan’s point of view. We must go all the way down to the zero point in order to restore everything. Since this entire world has belonged to Satan ever since the human fall, we cannot make compromises with it if we want to restore this world. We have to deny it, we have to reject it.

In Buddhism and Christianity, people commonly leave their homes in order to pursue the religious way of life and achieve their spiritual goals, because they have to stay away from this evil world. Leaving home means denying and rejecting your family, your belongings and everything, and going out to the wilderness to start from scratch, even if it means doing it as a beggar. That is your life. You have to reject and deny everything in the satanic world; nothing that belongs to the satanic world should have anything to do with you. You have to completely cut it off.

If any religion had had such a strict discipline, urging people to cut off from the satanic world and be alone with God, then human history would have been different. Human history has declined, along with the Christian viewpoint and the religious world. There is no hope in those realms. Thus, religious people leave home in order to achieve their spiritual goals.

A second common religious practice is denying married life. Religious people have committed themselves to celibacy and staying single. The biggest headache for God has been the formation of the family in the wrong way, centered on Satan. Fallen people married wrong, with the wrong motivation and to the wrong people. These two have been the most difficult headaches for God. What is the usual beginning point of married life? Usually it begins from teenage years. In the Bible it says that people will reap what they sow. Therefore, at the end of the world, at the harvest time, we see a lot of chaos in marriage and family life, just like at the beginning. Because of the human fall there has been no family unity; parents divorce and families break up. Because Satan opposes God’s will, he pushes people in a direction totally opposite from God’s original ideal. Therefore, you will see a lot of destruction of marriages and all kinds of disorders, including free sex among teenagers, homosexuality, and all kinds of immoral behavior.

Instead of people keeping celibate and leaving home to pursue religious goals, all of these things will happen. At the end of the world, if we could keep all the families intact as heavenly families, we can build the Kingdom of God. But because of the human fall, we will see otherwise. Family destruction and chaos will take place. Instead of people staying celibate, teenagers will become involved in all kinds of problems. Free sex, homosexuality and all these kinds of problems are signs of the expanding satanic hell in this world. The modern world is an expansion of Satan’s hell.

The third sign of Satan’s world is the focus on privacy and individualism. As a result of the human fall, people are self-centered. The concern for privacy and extreme individualism in America means that America is still protecting the fence which Satan put around his realm to protect it. However, we have to destroy this fence and get out of this hell. Because of the human fall, we lost everything. From the cosmos to the individual, and from individual to the cosmos, all levels were lost because of the human fall. Satan put a fence around you and gave you the term individualism, confining you within that terminology. If you are focused on individualism, it means you have lost everything; those who are concerned about privacy are defending themselves from the surrounding world. They are totally separate from God’s position and are living in a hell on earth, with no center for their lives. Having no individual center, no family, no nation, no world, no cosmos and no ideal, people have lost everything.

Certainly now is the time for harvest; thus, as the Bible says, people will reap what they have sown. We are reaching the end of human history, so we have to gather in the harvest. If the grapes are not real grapes, we have to burn them. We are harvesting the separation between Adam’s mind and body, the family which Adam lost, the marriage which Adam and Eve betrayed, and the brotherhood which Cain and Abel lost. That origin and that seed has now expanded and multiplied into a worldwide base at the time of harvest. With no center and no connection with God’s ideal, people have lost everything.

This is the time when we have to even deny ourselves. We have to deny humankind, the human race. Therefore, unless we see a religion that teaches people to deny themselves and even deny the entire world in order to return back to God, mankind has no hope for salvation. The responsibility and mission of religion is to have people totally deny this satanic world and restore this entire world back to God. That is the mission of religion. Because of the human fall, mind and body have been separated. Religions have represented the human mind, and the national sovereignties all over the world have represented the human body. The body is on Satan’s side, while the mind is on God’s side. However, because of the human fall, the body has had the sovereignty and has dominated the mind throughout history. That has been the problem. In our lifetime, every flesh body controls the mind. This is the reality of the modern world. The mind should be at the head, but instead the body exercises governing authority. The fact that every government has acted against religion has the same meaning as the body controlling the mind. Unless we make ultimate unification, we cannot reach God’s side.

We need this understanding as a prerequisite to understanding the history of restoration. When we talk about the history of God’s providence, we are talking about the entire history from the Old Testament to the New Testament and even the Completed Testament. Had people remained centered on God rather than falling, they would have started with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. These three criteria would have been the beginning point of human history, had there been no fall.

However, in the democratic world, people do not use terms such as absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. They don’t use the term absolute even for their religion. In the democratic world, there are always two political parties, the ruling party and the opposition party. However, if human history had begun with this absolute faith, love and obedience, there would not have been two parties but just one single God-centered party. Democracy is the ideology of brotherhood. The human mind and body separated because of the fall, creating two separate parties. That is the origin of these two parties. Brotherhood is the spirit of democracy. The brotherhood ideology means the relationship between Cain and Abel, which on the worldwide level is democracy. Of course, when we look at America in isolation, we can see a Cain/Abel relationship between the political parties. In the worldwide situation, there is a Cain/Abel relationship between the theistic world and atheistic communism; thus the free world and communism began fighting. Which of the two brothers attacks first? The elder son attacks first and he represents Cain. Therefore, the elder son is the problem.

In restoration there is a reversal process. The younger brother restores the elder sonship, the birthright of the elder brother. That is the meaning of restoration. It’s not an easy task. You have to conquer completely in order to restore the elder son’s birthright. Because Satan divided the brothers, Cain and Abel, we must restore the birthright of the elder brother in order to establish the foundation to receive the messiah, the True Parents. That is the prerequisite. Otherwise we can’t even think of receiving the messiah, who is our Parents.

What does the demise of communism mean? It means the surrender of the satanic-side elder son to the younger son, the Christian world, which is in the position of Abel. That is the significance of the demise of communism. Satan’s tactic is always to use force. His side uses weapons and physical force, whatever it takes to conquer. What about God? By offering love and care, God always seeks a natural and voluntary surrender. You can see evidence of this during the world wars, when communism fought against the free world, and eventually communism surrendered. However, throughout history the satanic side has always attacked first. They attack first, but eventually they lose. Therefore, I declare that Satan’s tactic is to hit first and then lose. On the contrary, God’s strategy is to be hit first but in the end win the battle. You must clearly understand God’s strategy and Satan’s strategy.

The course of history was hidden for forty years. Of course, God’s victory means victory for the Unification Church. Up to this point, America has been opposing me crazily. In addition, all the communist countries, beginning with the former Soviet Union and North Korea, have been opposing and persecuting me. In the end, who won the battle? [Father!] Just because you are Unificationists, you say I won. But don’t give that answer just because you are Unificationists. It is also a factual record that historically nobody else could have done the kind of work I have done to bring about the demise of communism. Moreover, we are offering the solution to save America, which is perishing day by day.

We can’t deny that the most fearful enemy for the democratic free world as well as the communist world has been Rev. Moon. I am the most fearful and hated figure. The free world absolutely hates me. This is not a concept; this is reality. Faced by that kind of opposition and persecution, how could I manage to fight against all these evil powers? I did so because I clearly understood the purpose of the history of God’s restoration and all these explanations I gave you this morning. Without that power, I couldn’t have done it. Is it true? [Yes!] How about you? [Yes.]

Where do the concepts of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience come from? They come from God, because at the time of creation God gave absolutely of Himself, investing and forgetting, investing and forgetting. That spirit was there. Also, God had absolute faith in His creation. Furthermore, He was absolutely one with the creation, which was His way of showing the standard of absolute love in this created world. These three concepts-absolute faith, love and obedience-come from God. These form the complete base for the creation. When you hear me talk about absolute faith, love and obedience, you understand, “Oh, that was the Sao Paulo Declaration that Father gave in Brazil.”

You have to be absolutely obedient, love True Parents absolutely, and have absolute faith in True Parents. This actually begins on the individual level. We have to practice with ourselves first. We have to have absolute faith in ourselves, absolute love and absolute obedience. This is the formula course. Because God is like this, we who are the objects of God must follow in His footsteps.

What is the meaning of the fall? Because of the fall, we lost all these three qualities. Because we lost these three qualities at the time of the fall, we lost our pure, divine lineage, we lost our divine possessions, and we lost the realm of heart, which could have been completed within seven generations. Thus we lost the fifth stage, sixth stage, and seventh stage. Before we reached the eighth stage this happened, so we lost all those numbers. The concept of tribal messiah starts from individual, family and tribe. Because of the human fall all those were lost in the beginning.

In the satanic world, people cling to their possessions: their assets, money and wealth. Also, they consider their own satanic lineage to be very important. Furthermore, they interpret the realm of heart in their own horizontal way. The satanic world tries not to lose its lineage and its right of possession. Seeing that God intervenes and tries to convert the satanic lineage to a different lineage, Satan desperately puts up a strong opposition. Males in the satanic world have stained the virtue of many females, playing with love.

Women have made sacrifices as they have sought for a true man, or a true husband. However, no true man or true husband appeared in human history. When I say true man I don’t mean Truman, the former president of the United States. I mean the real husband God wishes for. Christianity speaks of the symbolism of a bride seeking the bridegroom.

Many religions contain the concept of a returning lord. That lord is the messiah for whom people are waiting. Because of the fall in Adam’s family, Satan took the position of God and took Adam and Eve away from God. Therefore, God has had no one. God was expelled. God lost even the throne to Satan and has been confined in His own place. God has lost the dignity of the creator of all things. The ideal of love has been completely infringed upon, and the blood lineage has been stained. Therefore, all that was lost has to be restored.

The American people mainly belong to the Anglo-Saxon race and lineage. The countries of South America started as Latin countries, with the Catholic heritage. They are not of the Anglo-Saxon lineage but of Latin lineage. They have been fighting. Because of the mix-up that took place in the beginning of history, because of the human fall, there are struggles even between North America and South America. Therefore, we have to solve the problem from the root. Because of the human fall, we lost faith, love and obedience and then lineage, possessions and the true realm of heart. That’s why we must have the messiah.

In a way, America is dominating and subjugating the entire world. Does America belong to God? [No!] America is not God’s property. All nations do not belong to God. It is the same for every country. Again, because of the human fall, we lost true lineage, true possessions and the true realm of heart. Because of that, Satan has been dominating this entire world.

At one point the communist world even claimed that there is no God; they said God was dead. Actually, God has been in that kind of position because He has been unable to do anything. Both the communist world and the free world are dominated by Satan. This is a hellish world. World-famous theologians said that God was dead, starting a dead-God theology. The atheistic world denies that God exists. Of course, the communist countries do not even believe God exists. However, in this free world, the theologians should have strong faith in God, but they also denied the existence of God by saying that God was dead. That means Satan took both sides, the atheistic side and the free-world side as well. Then how can we liberate God? Is there no way to liberate God? That is why God sends the messiah.

When you look at a fruit tree, then you will find the answer. When the autumn season comes, all the leaves fall off, but that doesn’t mean that the entire tree is dead. Furthermore, while the leaves are falling you will find fruit which contains the seed of that particular tree. The messiah is like the fruit. The entire tree seems dead; it looks bare and naked, yet the seed of the tree, the spirit of the tree comes in the form of fruit. That is the messiah, who comes to save the entire world.

We can interpret the human fall using the analogy of the changing seasons. Because of the fall, God could not see the springtime, the season when flowers bloom and all the signs of life come out. Because of the fall God lost the spring. Furthermore, human civilization started from the tropical region and progressed to the temperate and eventually the cold, wintry civilization. Ultimately, of course, it returns to the original point, which is a tropical civilization where we see all the signs of life. In other words, God has to restore the spring season in which all life begins again. This free world and its culture and civilization represents the temperate climate and the autumn culture or autumn civilization, while the tropical countries represent the summer civilization. The communist world represents winter civilization. God never met the true spring season, when blossoming flowers and their fragrance spread the kind of love which connects to springtime. God lost that. Now is the time to chase away the winter civilization and even the summer civilization; we have to restore the spring civilization.

Korea belongs to this region of temperate civilization, but people from countries with temperate climates such as Korea, where there are four distinct seasons, can adjust to any culture or atmosphere, whether it is tropical, temperate, or even wintry Siberia weather. Wherever they go, they can adjust and survive. Even though it doesn’t show on the surface, the seed should have the attributes of tropical weather, temperate weather and wintry weather. Whatever the weather or culture may be, the seed should contain all those potentials because it is a microcosm of the entire plant; it must contain every attribute of a particular plant or tree.

Korea may be a small country, but Koreans are not afraid of being on the borderline with gigantic countries such as China or Russia. They are not afraid of Japan or America either. No matter what gigantic country they may face, they don’t care. In order to survive, the Koreans cross the border as freely as they want, searching for food and whatever they need. They are not afraid or scared.

The modern world considers Korea to be a problematic place. That’s true. You check it out. Korea is a problem for the Soviet Union, China, Japan and America. Korea is a problem everywhere, even in underdeveloped countries and in Africa. In other words, Koreans are that versatile. Because of that quality, Koreans are the only ones who can surpass the Jewish people.

Moreover, Koreans started chewing up even the Mafia. No matter how strong the Mafia may be in America, they have to protect me. That is God’s strategy.

The smartest fellow is God. He uses Satan’s world all the time and swallows it up. I am educating you about Korea this morning.

Another characteristic of Koreans in general is that even if they have no house to live in or no automobile to drive, when they appear in public they wear their most expensive suit or whatever expensive thing they have so that they can appear to be somebody very important. When they go to a restaurant, they find the most expensive Chinese restaurant. And if they have a little bit more money, they will buy the most expensive, stylish car such as a Lincoln Continental or Mercedes Benz. If you follow a Korean who drives a Mercedes Benz and wears a $1,000 suit to his home, you will find that he lives in a tent.

From now on, a person’s shelter will be a tent, not this kind of solid house. That will happen more and more. With only a van or mobile home equipped with all kinds of high-tech things, like TV sets and computers, you can manage everything. You may wonder how to educate your children if you have to go around like a gypsy. But that will not be a problem either, because video tapes will be developed in such a way that children can be educated through watching all sorts of video tapes. In the future we won’t need schools. People don’t want to study. [Amen!] Thus, you will be liberated from studying.

You may enjoy this kind of talk, yet you have to remember that when it comes to the history of restoration, we are talking about restoring the birthright of the elder son, restoring parenthood and restoring kingship. As I said earlier, although America may be influencing the world in the strongest way, subjugating the world in many ways, what position does America have now: that of the elder son or the younger son? [Younger son.] You have to know your situation clearly. American people have to know clearly what position they are in. Americans don’t like to be the younger brother. They only like to be elder. It’s true. However, God’s providential viewpoint can’t permit them to occupy the elder son’s position. Okay or not okay? Okay or nokay? This is a new term: nokay, meaning not okay. If America held the position of elder son, it would fall into hell unless it could bring the younger son to the position of the elder son. No one can deny that. You have to recognize that.

Then what can you do as Americans? You have to give up all of your possessions, your wealth and your money, and give it to the poor people in Africa so they can enjoy life. America should treat them like an elder brother and stand behind them giving them love and support; otherwise, America has no hope of being saved. America should treat people in those poor countries like their own elder brothers, their parents and their king. We have to restore those three stages by showing our love toward the poor countries. This is the only way we can go to heaven. This is the Principle viewpoint. No one can deny that.

Which way shall we take: this way or that way? Most Americans like to go the opposite way, and that is bad. They must change. God wants a new history. God wants to record that the world has obtained happiness, freedom, hope, peace and unification. Otherwise there is no way. If we stand there, Satan’s world cannot touch us. We need to start a new page. From whom? [Father.] The messiah and True Father, the True King. The messiah means the true elder, true father and true king.

That would have started with the first family in Eden. If Adam and Eve had achieved completion, they could have taken the position of the elder son, parents and king. There would have been no opposition, no Satan. Starting then their authority could have controlled history forever. This is God’s original ideal of creation. This time period is called the age of great victory in the history of God’s providence because this is the time for restoring everything. Again, if Adam and Eve had practiced absolute faith, love and obedience in the beginning, they would have become totally one with God.

God was in the position of subject and Adam was the object. The subject position always gives and invests for eternity. Giving for eternity means forming eternal value. If you stop after investing 100, you will harvest only the value of 100. But if you give eternally and constantly, your value will be limitless. In Adam’s family, Adam was in the position of subject and Eve was in the position of object. Through give and take they should have become one. By doing so, God, Adam and Eve would have become one.

In the first family, Eve was in the position of mother, or subject, and her children, Cain and Abel, were in the position of object. Of course, Cain and Abel should have become one with their parents first and then eventually extended their relationship to God and become one with Him. That is how the scope expands and the range gets bigger. If the original human family had been formed with this kind of unity and oneness with God, nobody, not even Satan, could have interfered in their relationship. Even between Cain and Abel, Cain was originally in the position of plus and Abel was in the position of minus. They should have become one with their mother and eventually expanded to their father’s realm and ultimately to God.

From God’s point of view, connections take place vertically, with Adam first, next Eve, and then Cain and Abel all becoming one. If this kind of relationship had been established in the beginning without the human fall, Adam’s family would have been like a fort which no power could destroy or intercept. Once Adam becomes totally one with God, Eve becomes totally one with Adam on that foundation; that means Eve doesn’t have to deal with God directly. As long as she deals with Adam, who is completely one with God, she doesn’t have to go all the way out to reach God and check everything with God. By the same token, once Eve and Adam and God are completely one, Cain and Abel don’t have to go all the way to Adam and to God, because as long as they are totally one with Eve they are totally one with God. They have total freedom in terms of their relationships. We can apply the same principle to the relationship between Cain and Abel. Once they become totally one with their mother and among themselves, Abel doesn’t have to go far to reach his mother or father and God. As long as he is totally one with Cain, he is one with God.

When we have these kinds of relationships, plus and minus, subject and object, we can enjoy total freedom, absolute freedom. Such freedom doesn’t come by yourself but within the subject/object relationship. Communists insist that they are the only ones who have freedom. They deny the object. That’s why they disappeared. As long as we have perfect harmony and unity between plus and minus, subject and object, no matter where you go or what you do, nobody can interfere with your work or your relationships. Even God cannot do that.

When we look around us, we see the mineral world, the plant kingdom, and the animal kingdom. Even in the mineral world, as you know, the plus/minus relationship exists. There are plus and minus particles, creating a circular movement. Nobody can destroy that movement or stop it. The particles exist for eternity in such a relationship. That is called freedom. Happiness, peace and love result from such circular movement. We can see the same phenomena in the plant kingdom and animal kingdom: plus and minus, plus and minus. The same principle applies to human beings. Once you and your spouse become totally one centered on God, nobody, not even the universe, can destroy your unity or stop your relationship. Even God cannot interfere. Can you find any single couple in America who is totally united centered on God? An ideal couple? [True Parents.]

This is the formula. This formula existed from the beginning of creation. The same formula applies in the history of restoration. Without completing this formula, there is no way to complete restoration. That means as long as we practice absolute faith, love and obedience and as long as there is absolute unity between subject and object, we are always ready for a higher level and nobody can interfere with our relationships.

In contrast to the theory of evolution, each species is distinct and absolute. Nobody can manipulate them. Therefore, the theory of evolution is not right. There is no time to go into the details. Just remember that the history of restoration follows the same principle which existed from the very beginning. Whenever there is unity between subject and object, that unity will be protected by the cosmos. However, if there is disunity between subject and object, even the universe will get rid of it.

In reference to absolute subject and absolute object, who or what is the absolute subject? [God.] God, because God never changes. God exists for eternity. Precious metals, such as gold or diamonds, are unchanging for eternity; people treasure gold and diamonds because they are unchanging. In human terms, those whose faith in God never wavers are the ones who will be saved, while those who change their minds will head for someplace else. What about the American people? Do Americans change all the time or are they steady? [Changing!] American people can be considered the most easily changeable people, whereas the oriental people are considered to be the opposite, unchangeable. If you keep changing, like American people, you will end up on the evil side. You will be taken by Satan. Extreme privacy and secular individualism are dangerous trends in America. If you keep pursuing those kinds of goals, then eventually you will lose your life. You may have to trade your life for something. Heavenly force protects this original, unchanging formula; however, if we keep changing there is no way to be protected, and we will be abandoned. Whatever has no partner will disappear. This is the principle formula.

Do you need your absolute partner? [Yes!] God created women with a concave form and men with a convex form, so they will fit together to make a perfect unity. That is how God created man and woman. Once the union is made, it is unchangeable. That is God’s formula. But look at the situation in America, where marriages are breaking up. American people are heading to the dungeon of hell. Can you deny that? My teaching is right and should be accepted by everyone. Despite that, the world has tried every possible way to persecute me. I have become the most fearful figure in America and in the world. You Americans, do you have something to be proud of? Americans are on the brink of falling down to the dungeon of hell. Who can change that? Only Rev. Moon and the Unification Church. Nobody else can. Who can save the world and liberate it from free sex, homosexuality, drug abuse, lesbianism and frenzied dancing? [Father.] Only God. All of these are on the opposite side of God. Only God can break this pattern and change things. Who can save the people of the world? Not America. Unification members, representing the people of the world, can lift up the world.

Centering on the Anglo-Saxon race, Christianity and the American government, this Protestant-based country will assume the position of Abel and start working with South America, which is in the position of Cain, centered on Catholicism. Catholicism is in the position of elder brother, whereas Protestantism is in the position of younger brother. How can they be unified? Satan divided these two brothers. Therefore, now we have to bring the unity between these two. Once this unity between South America and North America, centered on Protestantism and Catholicism, is realized, they will take the plus position. Because God is working through these two continents, the eastern hemisphere will be in the position of minus, or object. God’s providence will continue that way. The minus represents the elder brother’s position, Cain’s position. The two positions fight.

We already have a strong enough foundation in the Orient, centered on Korean Christianity, Japan and China, that those Christian leaders can say, “Let’s liberate Rev. Moon from the persecution in America.” That’s the consensus. Since American leaders and the Christian world have been opposing me, the Asian people will rise up to protect me. One side opposes the other, but when they unite, God’s providence advances. With the probable exception of the Anglo-Saxon people, the Asians and Hispanics who are living in America are praying for the success of the Washington Times. Once anybody understands this formula course, they will have to admit it. This is the course, the history of restoration progress.

Well, I covered the entire world spectrum, so let’s get down to our individual level. The fundamental question we always ask is whether there is unity between our mind and body. What do you think? Are your mind and body separated or unified? Give a clear answer. [Separated.] Completely separated? If they are separated in a zig-zag manner, does that mean their destiny is a zig-zag heaven? Heaven cannot be like that. No matter how beautiful the zig-zag way may be, it belongs to Satan and the kingdom of hell. It will be torn like trash paper. Because our mind and body are not totally united, we became a trash can. We don’t need that kind of trash can.

The most fearful problem is the separation of body and mind. World War I, II and III may be over now, but the battle between our mind and body is still going on. The most fearful warfare is within ourselves. Throughout the entire human history, there hasn’t been anybody-including Mohammed or Jesus Christ-who had total unity between mind and body. Only the Lord of the Second Advent, the True Parent, has total unity between mind and body.

Because unity was lost through the false parent, only the True Parent can restore it. We must understand that since we are fallen children, fallen people belonging to the fallen world, we need True Parents absolutely on every level, from the individual level to our children, our spouse, our parents and our tribe. The entire world, including all creation, needs True Parents; even God needs True Parents, because the ideal of God’s creation culminating in humankind was to create True Parents. True Parents is the subject of all these different stages.

Every being in existence and every species should be the object of True Parents. Once you become totally one with anybody through love, you feel you belong to each other; therefore, if you become totally one with True Parents through True Love, that means you are engrafted to this lineage and have the right of possession.

Think about your eyesight. Whom did your eyes see first, True Parents or fallen parents? [Fallen parents.] What about the other organs? Because of the fall, did our spiritual and physical organs first enjoy happiness or sorrow? [Sorrow.] Sorrowful smell, sorrowful hearing, sorrowful taste, sorrowful speaking, sorrowful feeling-that was the beginning. Your five senses didn’t see anything relating to True Parents. What about your sexual organ? Did you inherit this from True Parents or fallen parents? [Fallen parents.] Fallen. Human beings around the world have experienced such an inheritance and connection with the fallen blood lineage. How can one deny it? Only True Parents can fix it. Why? True Parents appear only once in history, to clearly explain its course, direction and result. Only one time in history will True Parents appear, creating a clear starting point, establishing a clear direction, and producing clear results.

True Parents understand the significance of individual value, family value, national value, worldwide value and the value of God’s creation. No matter how weighty the contents may be, True Parents understand everything. We understand feeling and seeing; we clearly understand the five senses. Now is the time for a reasonable theory. Fallen concepts can be corrected, no problem. When I accomplish world unification, false concepts will be erased.

In Europe, the most troublesome headache is now the problem between Great Britain and Germany. The division between Catholicism and Protestantism started in Germany. German unification must be based on the unity between the cultures of the east and the west as well as the unity between Catholicism and Protestantism. East and West Germany developed two separate cultures, which need to come into unity. In a way, East Germany surrendered to West Germany, which is in the position of the free world. Unification among the European countries should develop following the same principle that applies to Germany.

If we achieve unification between North America and South America, we can apply this principle to the European continent and achieve the unification of all of Europe. After achieving unity between Protestantism and Catholicism in the Americas, we have to go to the origin of Christianity, which is Roman Catholicism. Once we restore that, then world unification will be achieved.

Digging further down we come to Judaism and even Islam. We have to embrace them and restore them too. We can go even deeper and restore Jacob’s family, Abraham’s family, Noah’s family, and eventually Adam’s family. Once we restore the original Cain/Abel relationship, the history of restoration will be complete.

Therefore, the key is the unification of North America and South America. This will determine whether we will be successful in bringing unity among the European countries and with the Vatican. From there, we can go back the reverse way through human history to the time of Jesus Christ, Moses, Jacob, Noah and ultimately to Adam’s family. In other words, the critical point is unity between North America and South America. This will be expanded to the worldwide level, embracing Europe, Judaism, and Adam’s family. From Adam’s time, the entire world has been separated into plus and minus across the entire spectrum, from the individual level to the cosmic level.

Restoration follows the reversal way. The history of restoration takes place in such a way. Unification will begin from the individual level and return to it again after achieving all levels of unification up to the cosmic level. This age of great victory means not just a partial victory or a temporary unification but one final, grand victory in the history of God’s providence.

Again, once unity between North America and South America is achieved, the battle between Protestantism and Catholicism in the European continent will be finished. Because the confrontation between Protestantism and Catholicism in the European continent was duplicated in Asia as well, the Asian continent has to be included in this process. That’s why I came from Asia. Restoration goes through the reversal way, from the east to the west.

Once restoration is completed, where do you think I should stand, in the east or in the west? [In the east. At the center.] Well, strictly speaking, as a human being, I am Asian, right? Therefore, you can’t say I should stand in the middle. In the original family, do you think Adam and Eve were westerners or orientals? [Orientals.] Why? If we look at the ratios between the Asian and white and black races, the Asian race numbers about 3.2 billion people, the white race numbers about 800 million, the black race numbers about 600 million, and the rest belong to other races. What does that indicate? The Asians have the biggest slice of the pie. That means the history of the Asian race is probably the longest, right? The fewer the members of a race, the shorter their history and the greater probability that they were chased around.

The ancient civilizations emerged not in the very hot tropical areas or the cold wintry areas, but in temperate climates, with four distinctive seasons. Because people didn’t like a gypsy type of life, they settled in warm regions. That was the beginning of civilization, centered of course on an agricultural and hunting culture. Whereas the Asians settled around rivers where the soil is fertile and the weather is warm, the white race initially chased after animals and did a lot of criminal work. When they were chased out because of their criminal activities, they escaped up north and stayed in the cold region, becoming white, resembling polar bears. The black race, on the other hand, went after a lazy and comfortable life where they could sit in the shade and enjoy the easy life. They settled in tropical regions because they didn’t want to do farming work and cultivation. Nobody else who studied human history has come up with such an explanation.

Wherever you follow the history of the white race, there is always bloodshed. Even in Western movies, when a horse is injured they usually shoot the horse to end its life. The white race is based on a hunting culture. The sight of blood helps people get rid of stress. They enjoy bloodshed. The white race must realize that they have caused a lot of bloodshed throughout history, dragging along Christianity in the process. They are descendants of pirates. White people are a pirate race. England is the site of pirates. That is history. Usually hunters of wild game don’t stay in one place, not even their house. They move like gypsies, following animals, and wherever they go they kill animals. Because of their mobility and their gypsy-like lifestyle, wherever they go they find a new woman. Also, among those hunters there is a common practice: a less successful hunter may kill a more successful hunter, confiscate all his belongings, and claim them as his own. Furthermore, because of their gypsy-like lifestyle, they find a new woman everywhere they go, and they do all kinds of crazy things. That’s why we see all these crazy phenomena now at the end of world history.

I came from Asia to clean up this mess and change this gypsy-like hunting lifestyle. The people of the white race should learn from me about the true attitude of life which comes from the Orient. Therefore, the entire world, including America, must follow the footsteps of the oriental countries. Those black people whose ancestors sought an easy lifestyle must adopt a new lifestyle, which is hard work. You know Aesop’s fable of the ant and the grasshopper. Easy-going people such as Blacks and Hispanics represent the grasshopper.

The white race likes to fight. Did the concept of bouts between knights originate from the Oriental culture, the western culture, or the black culture? Throughout their history, if two men both loved a particular woman they would fight and whoever won took the woman. That has happened throughout the history of the western world. How can you deny that?

In the western culture there is a common understanding that if somebody conquers you, you have to surrender to him. The loser doesn’t have anything to say. But the white people did not know how to obtain the surrender of people’s minds and spirits. White people did not know about that kind of spiritual power. Oriental people have that kind of spiritual power. Therefore, world leaders such as Buddha, Mohammed, Jesus and Rev. Moon have appeared in the orient. Every one of them came from the East. They were not Westerners.

People in the Western world are followers in the minus position. The western world completely lost spiritual world power. I come from the opposite side. What shall you do? Will you deny me or follow me? [Follow!] You have been denying wrong habits, but how can you erase wrong attitudes? On your own, you don’t have the power to erase all that. You must know your real situation and you must repent. You have to learn to be humble. Be humble and vertical! Until now you have only been horizontal. You have never had the vertical, central axis. Therefore, in America, mind and body, husband and wife, break apart. That is the historical reality. How can you deny that? No way. You have to recognize and acknowledge it. That is my teaching.

What does it mean to achieve this kind of absolute unity between God and Adam, Adam and Eve, and Eve and Cain and Abel? How do we achieve absolute faith, love and obedience? Because of the human fall we lost all of that; the human family fell centered on Satan. It was the same Adam, but he was no longer on God’s side. Satan’s side formed another family. The fallen Adam confronted Satan, saying, “You, Satan, if you hadn’t caused me to fall I would have become the prince of the Kingdom of God in heaven. But because of the fall and because of you, now I became the prince of hell, the satanic realm.” When Adam calls Satan a bad guy, the fight begins. That’s why there is no unity between Satan and Adam. Even though Adam fell together with Eve, Adam confronts Eve and says, “Eve, you reversed the work of dominion. We could have achieved the ideal family, but you caused the fall. Why did you do it?” Adam blames Eve while Eve blames Adam. Because they are fighting in such a way, there is no unity. By the same token, Cain complains to his mother, Eve, saying, “If you hadn’t fallen and bequeathed the fallen lineage to me, I would have become the prince of the heavenly kingdom. But because of your fallen lineage I belong to the satanic world.” Then Eve, the mother, says, “I didn’t ask you to come into this world. You were born.” Thus the fighting goes on. Each one tries to give his burden and responsibility to somebody else.

People ordinarily tend to blame somebody else for their mistakes. If there is any way to make excuses, we try to excuse ourselves and put the blame on somebody else. Isn’t it true? That’s Satan’s way. It’s the opposite way from God’s way. All levels of existence were taken from God’s side and transferred to the satanic side. That means that God’s original formula was erased. Thus, now we have to rebuild everything and re-create the God-centered formula.

Satan loves to occupy the top position. Since Satan still occupies the head part, God came all the way down to the bottom or tail part and started there from scratch. God started this history of restoration through Abel, who is in the lowest position in this state of affairs. Satan has many nations and tribes and cultures; whatever belongs to this world is Satan’s. In contrast, God doesn’t have anything. For several thousands of years of human history, God has had nothing. Now that I have come to the world after 6,000 years of human history, Satan’s line of history and God’s line of history are crossing and changing positions. How great a time period we are living in! At the same time, it is also fearful. This is both a great and fearful time. Unless you make unification between your mind and body, you cannot go back to the original formula world. This is the Principle viewpoint.

Your body is the left side while your mind side is the right side. Right wing and left wing began in Adam’s family. Abel represented the right side while Cain represented the left side. History began from there, and each went a separate way. Satan achieved the national-level foundation, and the nation of Israel represented Cain while Judaism represented Abel horizontally. Without a unified foundation the mother could not appear. The mother means the bride. The messiah comes as the bridegroom. On such a foundation Mother could not appear. Preparation should have been made to receive the messiah. When he comes, preparations must be complete; this required unity between Cain and Abel, represented by Israel and Judaism. If that unity had occurred on the national level, it could have withstood the opposition from Rome, regardless of how great the opposition might have been. On that foundation a safe settlement would have taken place. Then Jesus would have automatically become the King of Kings. All the nations of the world could have combined as one nation under God, forming one world under God. One nation under God automatically connects to one world under God. That means a unified and peaceful world centering on Jesus. A Second Advent would not have been needed.

Since unity did not happen, everything was lost, causing Jesus to die on the cross. The discord between the two sides was portrayed by the right-hand thief and the left-hand thief, with Jesus’ cross placed between them. This discord which originated from the family-level rift between Cain and Abel continued through the time of the First Advent, which took place on the national level, to the time of the Second Advent, which took place on the worldwide level.

England is an island and thus is in Eve’s position. An island seeks the mainland, so England practiced piracy throughout the six continents and five oceans. As a result, it was once said the sun never set on the British Empire. What made it possible? Eve’s power.

Jesus’ death on the cross allowed Satan to take the Christian world, resulting in 400 years of persecution against Christians. On that foundation, the Christian culture developed and was represented by the Eve country, England. However, the English people roamed the world and cheated people. England invaded the oriental world and cheated nations out all kinds of art pieces. Every museum in London displays the accumulation of stolen works of art.

England as mother gave birth to America, which is the real son in Abel’s position. Along with France, which is in Cain’s position, they formed the right side of Jesus. That right side fought against the left side of Jesus, the satanic side, during World War II. The satanic side oppressed Christianity and had an anti-democratic ideology.

Japan is an island like England, and Japan inherited the Eve culture from England. Japan occupied Korea and ruled it for forty years. Japan wielded her power throughout China, Russia and other Asian countries such as the Philippines. Japan even fought against America and lost.

The victory of the Allied countries who were on God’s side during World War II laid the foundation for the culture of the religious world to expand. That culture represented the bride culture. Thus the time was right to welcome the Messiah, the Lord of the Second Advent.

Those three victorious countries did not recognize the Messiah. They expected the Messiah to come from heaven on the clouds. That kind of expectation put all humanity on Satan’s side. Because those three Allied countries ignored the Messiah, he didn’t have a nation. He had no tribe, nothing. The Messiah ended up in the lowest position. At that time Korea was not a fully independent country. It was in a politically unsettled situation, under the influence of China, Russia, Japan and America.

For forty years after WWII America, representing the archangel position, helped develop many countries. However, Korea is the only country that bore fruit successfully. At the time of the Second Advent, America was in the position of the bride nation. If she had united with the returning bridegroom, that would have been the starting point for building the Kingdom of Heaven on earth without difficulty. The heavenly kingdom would have been built during the following seven years, from 1945 to 1952.

Jesus represented the restoration of Adam’s worldwide base. Since that kind of mission was coming, many people in the position of Elijah or Jesus came to the archangel countries. That is the meaning behind the false messiahs and false prophets, such as the leader of the group at Waco. When this false period passes, the true messiah comes and proclaims himself.

Do you think that the English, Americans and French could have easily accepted me as the Lord of the Second Advent right after World War II? Being a refugee from North Korea, I was in a position like a beggar; I was a young man with no possessions and no home. Christians all over the world were still waiting for the Lord of the Second Advent to come down from heaven. In the midst of that came a young man from a concentration camp in the north and declared to the world that the Lord of the Second Advent comes as a man in the flesh, not from heaven. He also proclaimed that the Old Testament and the New Testament would be completed through him. He announced that all the people in the world needed to be reborn through him. Do you think the people could easily believe him? [No.]

During the last forty years since the end of World War II, I had to maintain the position of the absolute God and the absolute parental center for mankind. I kept that position for all these years. As you know, I emphasized over and over that if Christianity, centered on America and the other Allied countries, had united with me as the Lord of the Second Advent right after World War II, the entire world would have been restored within seven years. The Kingdom of God on earth would have been built within those seven years. But because of their failure, I lost everything. I lost the unification of Korea, and I lost my first wife and family. Having lost everything, I was chased out into the wilderness and had to climb back up from the bottom to this stage.

Because of the failure right after World War II, this satanic world has emerged. An evil emperor ruled for the last forty years in North Korea; he opposed me and even tried to get rid of the true messiah. However, seventy days after I declared the ceremony of Pal-chung (eight stages) and Parenthood, the Berlin Wall collapsed. Seventy days after we celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Unification Church in Korea, Kim Il Sung passed away. Now that the forty-year hill was crossed, the false parent had to go. That’s why Kim Il Sung disappeared. Also, with the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, communism symbolically collapsed.

Nobody knows where the world is now headed. Those American leaders who have been reading the Washington Times editorials have come to the conclusion that only through reading it can one learn the true direction in which the world is headed. Now those leaders are turning around and starting to recognize it and show it respect.

The Washington Times has gained top awards among the newspapers in the world. More than 40,000 scholars from all over the world subscribe to the World & I magazine. Furthermore, by utilizing Nostalgia, the cable TV channel, we are now reaching almost every family in America. Eventually the network will be expanded to connect all six continents.

The time has changed. We no longer have to go out to the street corner seeking to win people one by one. No, we can sit in a nice office in front of a computer and use high technology to educate all 5 billion people at one time. I have said, “If they give me forty days to educate the people in the world, I can change the entire world.” In Washington, DC, as well as at the Manhattan Center studio in New York, we have all the high-tech equipment we need to deal with the entire world. Hollywood thought they had the most advanced equipment, but now they realize that the Manhattan Center and other companies connected to our movement have even better ones. American members built it, didn’t you? [Yes.]

Let’s face the reality. If I go to Washington, DC, and settle there, various big shots, prominent former heads-of-state and all kinds of dignitaries will come to pay me a visit. That kind of foundation has been established, yet I quietly exited the North American continent and went to less inhabited parts of South America; it is like the boondocks out there.

Why do I escape to a place which has almost nothing? Because I want to save Christianity. The American government can’t do that. The issue is the struggle between Protestantism and Catholicism. The government powers cannot resolve that. I am the only one who can combine these two forces of Christianity. Do you believe it? The Divine Principle clearly shows the completion of the Old and New Testaments and points the way to the Completed Testament.

There is no one in the entire world who is strong enough to oppose the power of truth. Countries such as America, Germany and Japan are all knocked out. When you watch the ocean, the tide comes in and the tide goes out. A new tide is now coming in. The Unification tide is moving in, and the water level will rise. Satan’s love place is close to the completion place, while God’s love is the perfection or completion level. Satan’s love base is a national base, while God’s love goes beyond the national base to the worldwide base. The worldwide base automatically overcomes the national base, no problem. That means that national bases will ultimately disappear.

We need a country strong enough to do God’s mission. We have to build one country. Do you think we have enough power and knowledge and ability to build such a country? [YES!] If America and our members are truly united, we can carry out God’s command.

We need a representative of Abel’s position in the world. Abel’s position is the son’s position, and the son must absolutely follow the parents. All children should follow the parents’ position. America is Cain’s position, but if the American people follow True Parents’ direction, they can gain the position of Abel. Then if I ask the American Protestants, in the position of Abel, to follow me, sell their houses and lands, and go to South America, what will you American people do? [Sell out.] If you really mean your yes answer, then a mass movement will take place. It will be like a hurricane. This is how we will march to build one world under God. Our goal is no longer one nation under God. [Yes!] So do you welcome that? [Yes!]

First, you have to sell your own personal property, and then we will start on the public property. Because the history of restoration is a reversal course, Cain and Abel have to be united first and resolve everything between them before reaching the parental level. Thus you have to resolve your own matters first.

There are many young, enthusiastic brothers and sisters in America, as well as in the CIS and Russia. Do you think those young Russian members will be the front runners, or will the American young members hold the front line? [We will!] But as I see the situation, for every thousand American youth there are a thousand different directions and ideas. In contrast, if we have a thousand young Russian members they will follow one direction, since they have been trained under communism. They have been trained in the three categories which I taught this morning: absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, although in a different way, of course. What about the American youth? American young people are still swimming in the midst of individualism. All ten fingers and all ten toes act in a different way. Is it easy or difficult to take a unified direction? [Difficult.] We must be serious about it.

Even though we stand this way, with this side being the right side and the other the left side, when I said, “Let’s go back to our hometown,” you turned around 180 degrees; what was the left side became the right side and what was the right side became the left side. Positions can be switched. Some of the countries from the former Soviet Union are saying, “Rev. Moon, if you come to our country, we will mobilize the entire nation and mobilize 360,000 couples for the upcoming August wedding. Also, we will adopt Unificationism as our national religion.” Why don’t I go there? Because if I go there and abandon this free world, I would be abandoning the 2,000-year foundation of Christianity. I know how much God has been suffering and paying indemnity to come to this point, and I simply cannot abandon that foundation.

Do you live like a grasshopper, just playing and eating and enjoying your life? [No!] Yes! On the other hand, the Japanese represent ants, who do not know anything but work. For their morning greeting, they say, “arigato.” That means there are ten ants there. When Japanese people come to New York City they work until midnight, 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. At 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. they are already turning on the lights to start working again. The American people say, “Get out of here. We need more sleep.” That’s why I sent a lot of Japanese members all over the world. For example, Japanese brothers and sisters have been demonstrating a truly exemplary life here in America, filled with hard work, dedication and obedience. However, some American members laugh at them and consider them stupid for not knowing how to enjoy life. What would you do if I say that everybody in the world should follow the example of the Japanese brothers and sisters who are working hard and dedicating even their lives to save those people? Anybody who doesn’t want to accept this proposal will be chased out from this globe. Does that mean that American people will be chased out first? Don’t be too proud of yourselves. If the day passes by, night will come to America. Look around you. That kind of situation is clear. If it continues, there is no hope in America. It is not a laughing matter. Be serious. I spent twenty years of my life, the golden time period, in America. I don’t want it to be wasted; I want to bring the harvest.

In restoration, Abel becomes the elder brother and Cain becomes the younger brother. In the secular sense, is it possible for the elder brother to become the younger brother and the younger brother to become the elder brother? No such model exists. As we learn from the story of Jacob and Esau, Jacob restored the elder son’s birthright. Satan always subjugates and dominates from the higher level; the bigger plus dominates the smaller minus. However, in the history of restoration, God created the foundation from scratch and keeps forming a bigger plus, in order to rise step by step. As a result of the struggle between Cain and Abel, Abel was murdered by Cain. Because of that mistake, thousands and thousands of years of human history have repeated the struggle between Cain and Abel until the point that communists almost took over the control of the United Nations. Beginning right after World War II, the seven years from 1945 to 1952 was the period during which Christians around the world should have worked together and become united centering on the Lord of the Second Advent in order to build the Kingdom of God on earth. At the time of Jesus’ crucifixion, the right-side and left-side thieves didn’t have parental figures so they were killed, too. Therefore, now the world needs a parental figure who comes as the Lord of the Second Advent.

Even after the failure of worldwide Christianity after World War II, I have been working for the last forty years to set the foundation to save the world again and embrace the free world and the communist world, as Cain and Abel, centering on Mother. Counting from 1945 to 1960, fourteen years passed. Because Israel failed, national-level restoration had to be achieved centering on Korea. This fourteen-year period represents the completion of the Old Testament era. The twenty-year period from 1960 to 1980 represents the completion of the New Testament era. During this period we had to restore at least conditionally the national foundation on the worldwide level.

Since the declaration of God’s Day in 1968 until 1988, the year of the Seoul Olympics, twenty years passed. If we add seven years, it brings us to 1995. This very year, 1995, is a critical year in God’s dispensation. During this year we have to bring total unity between mind and body. For this reason, our body side, the economic side of the Unification Church, is suffering now.

Also, 1995 is an extension of 1994. Between 1994 and 2000 is an interval of six or seven years which is the most critical period in human history. Right after World War II, I needed only seven years to achieve restoration by 1952. That same time period has returned. Within this seven-year period until the year 2000, we must establish the Kingdom of God on earth, the world of peace and freedom and happiness centering on True Parents. That is our mission.

We must learn a lesson from the history of Israel. Even after they entered the walled city of Jericho, the people of Israel suffered because they didn’t have a strong ideology or a spiritual foundation strong enough for building their nation in Jericho. That is why they are still suffering and going through all kinds of difficulties even today. In light of this, Unification Church members today must not repeat the same mistake. We should have a strong enough foundation spiritually as well as physically to build our nation, centering on True Parents. Just as the first generation of Israelites died in the wilderness and the second generation was able to enter the city of Jericho, the first generation of the Unification Church may suffer in a similar way. Therefore, the critical question is how to build unity between the first generation and the second generation. We also have to embrace the people who oppose the Unification Church, because we have to build the ideal world.

The shortcut to achieving this goal is through the blessing. Therefore, this year I am going to bless 360,000 couples from all over the world, even via satellite. Among those couples there will be many already-married couples and people from many different religions and races, representing the first generation. On account of their failure they should have been abandoned in the wilderness and eaten by vultures, but because of True Love I am giving them a way to be saved through this coming blessing. The second generation, in the role of Abel, are in the position to save the first-generation people. Therefore, you parents, as the first generation, must have absolute faith, love and obedience in regards to your children, for they are like your central figure.

With my appearance, the birthright of the elder son was restored for the first time in history. The entire world opposed me, yet I achieved this. The younger brother became the elder brother, restoring the birthright. Abel, the younger brother, is taking the original position of the elder brother and Cain, the elder brother, is taking the original position of the younger brother. That is how their brotherhood relationship is being restored. Then the false relationships of Satan’s side will be erased. It’s like the top coming down and becoming the bottom and bottom going up and becoming the top. There should be absolute spiritual unity.

If we apply this to the situation of America, Americans should go to Africa and serve Africans; then Africa will become America. No matter what avenue Americans use to keep their prosperity, America is doomed to perish unless it follows this formula. These are not my words; it is the Principle viewpoint. Wait and see how history develops. You will be eyewitnesses.

You realize that America is now going down the drain, don’t you? By mobilizing only one-sixth of America’s 240 million people, we could save all the 240 million Catholics in South America. It’s not a difficult task. That is how we can build one world under God. One nation under God has been an American motto, centered on Christianity. But God wants one world under God, not just one nation. Then what is my motto: one world under God or one nation under God? [One world!] Do you welcome that or not? Really? [Yes!]

Thus we have restored the elder son’s birthright. Up until 1992 there was no existence of Mother in the spiritual sense, because Mother always had to follow right behind me. Mother was like my shadow for thirty-two years, since the Holy Wedding in 1960. Just as Jesus Christ could not marry before his death at the age of thirty-three, Mother had to follow in my footsteps without making any sound. Therefore, 1992 became like the year of marriage for Mother, through making a declaration to the world, like Jesus Christ at the age of thirty-three. That’s why since 1992 Mother has come to the front and made a declaration to the entire world through the Women’s Federation for World Peace. Because she did this, all the 3 billion women in the world have become one body, united with Mother who is in Eve’s position. All the women in the world are considered to be one single Eve’s body, centered on True Mother. Every woman in the world is like a branch of True Mother, Eve. In other words, the supreme Eve appeared in the world. This supreme Eve now belongs not to the satanic side but to the heavenly side. Now the children of Eve-Cain and Abel-will branch out.

What about men? Men are in the position of archangel. That’s why at the end of the world there will be countless divorce cases. At the time of the fall, Eve dealt with two male figures, the archangel and Adam. That’s why at the end of the world, many of the same phenomena are taking place in America. Before being married, people sign a marriage contract. In other words, they don’t take the object position but remain in the archangel position as a spouse.

Before free sex and similar phenomena took place, you recall the streaking fad-naked people running around. When they got naked and saw no distinction between man and woman, they said, “We are all friends.” That developed into the practice of free sex. As friends, there is no distinction between the different sexes, so they could see no difference between man and woman, woman and man, woman and woman, or man and man kissing and sleeping together. “What’s so bad about it?” they asked. That’s their attitude. They called themselves friends while sleeping together as man and woman. Do you call that friendship? Just because they join concave and convex shapes together, is it a true relationship? That’s the way of Satan, because Satan denies the right of possession.

American women in general became queens of their family. Isn’t it true? You see that every day. When the husband and wife go for a drive, as they reach their destination the husband immediately jumps out of the car and opens the door for his wife, even though the husband was driving. He is acting like a servant. All the men in the world are in the position of archangel. Originally they were supposed to be in the position of Adam, but they turned into the archangel. So where is perfected Adam? Not in this world.

Because they chased the original Adam out, Adam went back to God. At the end of the world, this perfected Adam must come again. That is the messiah, according to Jewish and Christian beliefs. However, those who believe in Judaism and the Old Testament or in Christianity and the New Testament do not have the slightest idea that the messiah would come as a perfected Adam. Think about it logically: if we lost Adam we have to find him. Otherwise, God loses face as the Creator. God cannot just go ahead and destroy Satan and confiscate his possessions. God has to somehow apply His strategy so that Satan will naturally and voluntarily surrender and give everything back to God. That’s the way God saves face. If there is the concept of Adam in God, there would be dual creatorship. We already admit that there is no concept of enemy. That’s why even at the cross, Jesus Christ prayed to forgive the Roman soldiers. He wanted to completely empty his heart from any concept of enemy, because he didn’t want to see dualism even after he passed away.

The same principle applies to my life. Think about the relationship between America and myself. America has been persecuting me, opposing me, and doing all kinds of tricks; finally it put me in prison. America was in the position of archangel, yet this archangel position tried to kill the one who came as the prince of God. Why is America in the position of archangel? If America, centered on world Christianity, had been totally united with the Lord of the Second Advent right after World War II and fulfilled her mission, she would have been in the position of Eve. However, because of the failure at that time, America fell into the position of archangel. When America hits me, it means that the archangel is hitting Adam. America opposed me, so it became the archangel country. The Eve country is different from the archangel country. America and Japan were enemies fifty years ago. Japan became the Eve nation. The high-level nation that Satan had been occupying fell into ashes and ruins after World War II; it was in a miserable situation. The Lord of the Second Advent was in a miserable situation. England had been a high-level representative of Eve on the worldwide level. This time the Eve nation was chosen when it was at a low level, and during forty years it developed to a high level because I chose it as an Eve nation.

Japan and Germany and America, those three countries, have financial power. I chose young people from those three countries to go out to 120 nations as missionaries. At the time I commanded those three people to make unity, to become one. One representative of Japan, Germany and America went to each mission country. If those three ambassadors made unity in their mission country, there was no problem. If those three fought, it caused a big problem.

Now we have completed the restoration of elder sonship. It wasn’t easy, but we did it. Next people need to find the mother and be united with her. Once unity between Cain and Abel is achieved, they become a larger-size minus-an object to the subject, who is Mother. They need to become one again with the mother. That is how Cain and Abel will be restored, accomplishing restoration up to the mother’s level. After the restoration of elder sonship, the next level is the restoration of parenthood. Once we achieve this goal, people can be restored to the mother’s level through the unity between Cain and Abel. Once people are cut off from the satanic side, they can naturally connect on the level of mother/child unity. They will be connected to Adam’s level and form another level of unity. That is how parenthood will be restored.

This physical world is a horizontal world, but kingship involves developing the vertical concept of a God-given king. Finally, we will reach the level of God, the ultimate stage, and build total, absolute unity with Him. We are talking about absolute unity, not separation. On this level, there is unity in the center, from top to bottom, and in all directions. That’s the final stage, the restoration of kingship. The literal translation of the phrase is: “restoration of the realm of the king’s right.”

Throughout human history there have been many different religions. Religious movements have come and gone; some still exist. The purpose of all of these religions is to restore these relationships and ultimately to secure these three major rights. In my situation, the entire human race opposed me and persecuted me. I started as one single person, reaching out to the entire human race. But now restoration, which is the reversal process, is taking place.

The elder sonship has been restored on the worldwide level. I am restoring nations in the positions of the left-side thief and right-side thief at the time of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion. America and the communist world are like brothers in the process of restoration. In my position, Mother went out and gave this proclamation to the world through her forty-nation speaking tour. In the process, Mother embraced the children’s position, Cain and Abel, united with them, and brought them back to the father.

This was and still is the mother’s responsibility. America failed to accept the Lord of the Second Advent right after World War II. Now Mother had to embrace this country again. She spoke on Capitol Hill, because America was in the position of bride. America had lost the bride’s mission, but now Mother came as the True Bride and completed this bride’s mission. She spoke in fifty states and was welcomed. She spoke at Capitol Hill, went to the United Nations, and finally embraced the entire world. America is in the position of Abel, and the entire free world is in the position of Cain on God’s side. Thus, by giving the declaration at the United Nations, Mother embraced the entire free world. The bride’s mission which had been lost was restored. Even after Mother accomplished her mission by embracing America through speaking on Capitol Hill, and by embracing the world through speaking at the United Nations, she had to move on to the horizontal level, embracing countries such as Japan and Germany. However, Satan doesn’t want to give up everything at one time. That’s why countries such as Germany and Japan are resisting. That’s why there are some difficulties occurring in Germany and Japan. It is Mother’s mission to go back there, embrace them, and resolve the situation. Once America, the United Nations, and Japan are united, then Adam’s country, Korea, will be turned around, too.

Because of the human fall, we lost everything. I have been restoring this during the last forty years vertically, and now it is happening horizontally. America and the free world are uniting with Mother. Now we need a worldwide base. Mother made the foundation of embracing the children. America and the free world are influencing Japan. Even in your dreams you could not have imagined that Mother could address audiences at the U.S. Capitol and the Japanese Diet. The Diet is in the position of Abel, while the nation of Japan is in the position of Cain. That’s why Mother went there and embraced both. She did the same in America. Therefore, centering on America, we can embrace the entire world through the United Nations.

True Mother has now symbolically restored and completed the mission of the bride right after World War II. The Allied countries of Great Britain, America and France are now replaced in God’s providence by Japan, Germany and America. Right after World War II, America offered help to rebuild Japan and Germany; as a result these became the three central nations.

America took the position of the archangel on the side of heaven. America had to take this role because without America, there is no connection between Protestantism and Catholicism. In God’s dispensation, the formation stage cannot be directly connected to the completion stage; the growth stage is necessary. The Old Testament era and the New Testament era represent the formation stage and the growth stage. The perfection stage can stand upon the foundation of the formation and growth stages. That’s why I had no choice but to select America.

Once God chooses someone to do a certain mission and they fail, God can never go back to that person and choose again. However, the son can choose a person or nation a second time for a mission of restoration. That is an expression of love. I am in the son’s position, and the course of restoration is headed by the son. Through the son, parents can be restored. Parents means the original point. In other words, since I chose America for the providence of restoration, I am responsible to see the result. That’s why even though I had to experience incarceration, my conviction is that I have to restore this country, even if I lose my life in the process. I have to see it through to the end.

If you take a close look, religions in America are going down the drain. They are perishing day by day. In God’s providence, Roman Catholicism was originally supposed to fulfill its mission and restore all humankind back to God. However, because of the corruption and failure of Catholicism, Protestantism emerged. Protestantism, centered on America and the western free world, tried to restore the world, but it failed too. Therefore, my strategy now is to combine these two forces, Protestantism and Catholicism, and use them as two united pillars to restore the entire world. This is the reason for the current project of combining the South and North American continents to work in South America.

God chose Christianity as the leader of all religions for the sake of restoring the entire humanity, yet the reality is that Catholicism and Protestantism are still fighting. How can God rely on these two fighting forces to achieve the goal? That’s why they need me. As it says in John 3:16, God loved the world so much that He sent His begotten son, Jesus Christ. That means God sent Jesus Christ to save America for the sake of restoring the entire world. This did not happen because God particularly loved America; it was not because God wanted to save just this country. God doesn’t have a nation concept; He only has a world concept. Has any other religion claimed that it will save the entire world? [No!] Does any other religion have the capability? What about the Unification Church? [Yes!] The goal sounds so big. Satan’s side doesn’t like that kind of sound. They call it a crazy sound.

Now you understand the formula. The history of restoration should begin from the individual and gradually develop to the tribal level, national level and worldwide level, but the most important level is now the national level. That is why God has been preparing the country of Korea for almost 5,000 years.

In the meantime a lot of good traditions and customs have been developed among the Korean people. For example, according to Korean tradition, whoever is in the position of elder son is owed respect even by his uncles and senior relatives, because of the importance of the lineage. Also, according to Korean tradition, absolute filial piety is considered the best virtue, followed by absolute fidelity. For hundreds of years such an extreme custom was practiced that after her husband died, the widow would not eat fine food or wear fancy clothes for three years; she wore only white rags. Also, after the father died, the eldest son would not go any place for three years; he would eat and sleep right in front of his father’s tomb and wear only rags. He went through a three-year condition of prayer and mourning. That much filial piety was practiced. Another virtue was loyalty to the nation or patriotism. After a king died, the entire nation went through a period of extreme mourning.

Now I understand that such traditions have been practiced for thousands of years, because at the end of the world God wanted to establish the absolute family unit, the absolute husband/wife relationship, and the absolute elder sonship, and parenthood, and kingship.

However, American people would not understand that concept, because you are in the position of archangel. You may go around 360 degrees, but you don’t know where the center is. Do you have anything to be proud of? Satan’s side brings destruction. You take pride in everything connected to Satan’s side. You are proud of your American citizenship, etc. Now America is completely controlled by Satan’s side. Look at the environment. There is free sex. Does God want that? It is the most hated thing. The homosexual lifestyle breaks down the ideal pair system. Through the drug culture, people seek to regain the lost connection with the spiritual world; however, they can never regain that original connection by drugs. Such fallen systems are clear evidence of the connection with Satan. The Western world planted the seeds of evil. For instance, the English people promoted drug use in China, planting the seeds that resulted in a harvest of drug use by young people all over the world. There has been a breakdown of authority in America. That cannot be permitted on God’s side. People need to make the deepest repentance. How can we escape such an atmosphere? God’s formula requires taking the opposite direction. Only through repentance can this historical sin be erased.

At the time of Sodom and Gomorrah, if there had been ten righteous people, those cities would have been saved. Because of me, America still has hope. As my followers, you are that hope. Has anyone else come to America to point out all its evildoings and even curse it? Do you think I am the smartest man in the world, or the most foolish one? [Smartest!] The foolish place is America. Therefore, you must be alert and repent.

Until the Holy Wedding of True Parents in 1960 was the time to indemnify the Old Testament era, restoring the original Eve back to God’s side. Because Jesus Christ couldn’t get married, I had to make restoration through indemnity in order to receive Mother. The failures of the Israelites of the time of Jesus and the failures of the Old Testament period were restored by 1960, through having this Holy Wedding of True Parents. After True Parents’ Holy Wedding of 1960, the following seven years were a time of worldwide persecution. Therefore, Mother and I had to go through a seven-year period as True Parents. Upon the completion of this seven-year period in 1968 I declared God’s Day. During that period, I established Parents’ Day, Children’s Day, Day of All Things and, finally, God’s Day.

Upon that foundation I could expand to the worldwide level. Therefore, I started preparing to work on the worldwide level by coming to America. I couldn’t come out of Korea right after the declaration of God’s Day because Korea was in such a difficult situation. Kim Il Sung was waiting for any opportunity to invade South Korea. Therefore, for three years I had to set spiritual conditions in order to stop Kim Il Sung from invading South Korea, through blessing 777 couples, who symbolize the worldwide level, and doing various things to secure the country of Korea.

Originally, I received an American visa in 1960, but I didn’t come. By then America was in moral decline, so it was not easy. That’s why I set my own condition in Korea.

By 1971, I established an even greater condition than Kim Il Sung in North Korea by forming our patriotic movement in South Korea through the nationwide Victory Over Communism campaign. Thus South Korea was secured.

On December 18, 1971, I came to America to launch this worldwide providence. For twenty years, until the end of 1991, I completed all conditions on every level. Yet the Unification Church members were not ready to deal with top national-level leaders. That was the problem. You remember the campaigns I launched in Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, finally culminating at the Washington Monument Rally. In order to do that, I sent the One World Crusade to visit all fifty states, sweeping the entire country spiritually. Spiritually, the entire nation of America actually welcomed me then.

In 1975, I went back to Korea and held the Yoido Rally. Through that rally I made a good relationship with South Korea, and together we launched an attack against the persecution and opposition coming from America and the rest of the world. This was fourteen years after True Parents’ Holy Wedding, counting from 1960 to the end of 1974. In 1975, I launched an attack against the opposition. Since this was the top of the growth period, Mother and I could horizontally launch an attack against the opposition from the entire world, centering on the national level, because the nation of Korea assisted and supported me.

The Roman Empire, Judaism and the nation of Israel joined in opposition to Jesus Christ and finally crucified him. In order to restore that, I had to somehow gain the support of the government, which was in the position of the Roman Empire. The Unification Church and the nation of Korea were in the position of Judaism and the nation of Israel, respectively. America was in the position of the Roman Empire and started opposing me. Thus the country of Korea and the Unification Church got together and started challenging America’s opposition, pushing Cain to surrender. Upon that kind of victorious spiritual foundation I could challenge America, because I needed the worldwide foundation.

On the worldwide level, American Christianity had to be faced. That’s why I brought the foundation I established in Korea and started challenging America. That is how I have been working for the last twenty years in this country, seeking to restore the Cain/Abel relationship in this country and on the worldwide level.

With the victorious foundation of True Parents, why can’t we move the world now? Because the first generation Blessed couples didn’t do their mission well. My mission as the messiah is to establish Blessed couples and work through these Blessed couples to restore the entire world. Yet, the Blessed couples have not been fully ready. If the Blessed couples had done their mission well, the incarceration in Danbury wouldn’t have taken place. Just as Jesus Christ helped his disciples for forty days after the resurrection, for forty years after coming out of Danbury prison, I am going to do my absolute best to help you to restore this world and also indemnify the forty-year period since World War II.

Based on True Mother’s victorious foundation of embracing America and Japan and the entire world, True Parents will march into Korea to bring about the reunification of Korea, restoring the fatherland. North Korea didn’t even need Kim Il Sung anymore. That’s why Kim Il Sung disappeared. The dialogue between the South Korean students and the North Korean students is taking place in order to enhance the reunification between North and South. Through Mother’s forty-campus speaking tour in Korea right after she returned to Korea, the radical student groups who used to oppose our CARP activities in Korea have turned around. They had caused CARP to be chased out of many campuses. During Mother’s speaking tour, however, these radical student groups turned around, started helping the CARP movement, and have become friendly with CARP. They are working along with CARP now.

Once we accomplish the reunification of North and South Korea, the next stage is the reunification of the entire world, which is easier because it is the battle between atheism and theism. Atheism will be eliminated. The separation between the western culture and the eastern culture will be neutralized. Based on the different religions, there are many different cultures all over the world, but gradually these kinds of differences will be narrowed and unification will take place. That’s why I am even right now working on the reunification of North and South Korea and the reunification of the countries in the Middle East. Eventually I want to combine all these different religions. That’s why I established the Religious Federation for World Peace and the Federation for World Peace. These two organizations represent unifying the mind and body, centering on parents.

Children are born from their parents. When mind and body unite, the process of restoration is complete. Thus the religious realm and the political realm worldwide, representing mind and body, will be united through my efforts. That is the task right now. In the meantime, I have been working with scholars through the PWPA, with journalists through the World Media Conference, with former heads of state through the Summit Council, and with young people through the Youth Federation for World Peace. We had CARP, but I have now organized World CARP. My goal is to combine all these different groups. The young people who opposed me on the campuses will be restored through paying indemnity. That is how God can forgive them; otherwise, we cannot build the Kingdom of God on earth. The kingdom can be built only through forgiveness.

Unificationism is the ideology which can save the world. Now, no matter what ideology you confront or what part of the world you visit, nobody can come forward to confront us and oppose us. Because we have overcome all the opposition and persecution up to this point, there is no room left for people to oppose us any more. From the individual level to the worldwide level, there will be no more opposition to our actions and movement, because people have opposed us to the maximum extent. Now they will ask for forgiveness. I had to go through all kinds of opposition and persecution in order to establish the Federation for World Peace, the Religious Federation for World Peace, and World CARP. I have been opposed all these years. Without exception, all the organizations and institutions I have established have received opposition. But now they are surrendering out of exhaustion. The outside people who opposed us are exhausted, but do you think I am exhausted too? [No!] I am enthusiastic. Anti-exhaustion! Wherever you go, if you open your arms as far as you can and sweep them around, nobody will stop you. By any chance, if there is anybody who opposes you, they will be condemned as a stupid person. If anybody opposes you, you can challenge them by saying, “Do you have organizations such as the Federation for World Peace, CARP, Summit Council, all these prominent international organizations dedicated to saving the world?” Once they realize their value, they will bow down to you and shrink down.

The title of this morning’s sermon is: “The Age of Great Victory in the History of God’s Providence.” Now spring has come. Are you going to take a nap in your room? [No!] The tedious summer is over, the harvest has been gathered, and winter time has disappeared. Now we welcome the spring time. The tedious age has passed. Now we can enjoy freedom and happiness, eternal peace and hope. God will stay with us forever. Centering on God, we can do anything. We can go any place, any time. You understand clearly by using your brain; you should have enough knowledge to be able to grasp everything. I have confidence and guts. How about you? [Yes, Father.]

In front of God, we must demonstrate our absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. As His son, I am standing upon the foundation with absolute faith. Religions have used these three concepts to develop separate spheres, separate cultures and backgrounds, and separate traditions. God wanted to connect the individual base, family base, national base and worldwide base with absolute love. Our mission is based on the three concepts of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. My whole lifetime, I have lived by those three concepts.

Everything can be understood based on God’s original position. Although Satan broke down the standard of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, indemnity has been paid to lay the victorious foundation and now you can inherit True Parents’ realm of victory. The only important concepts are absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. How absolute is your faith?

Whenever mind and body are fighting, whenever our standard of love is different from God’s standard, then Satan automatically invades that place. Unless husband and wife achieve absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, they cannot connect with God’s ideal world. The ideal world means the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in the spiritual world. Will your children be able to connect with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience? Unless mind and body are one, unless husband and wife are one, and unless parents and children are one, Satan can invade. This is the conclusion of the total viewpoint of the Principle. If you have absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, you will gain the victory.

The individual viewpoint, the family viewpoint, the national viewpoint, the worldwide viewpoint, the cosmic viewpoint, and the viewpoint of God’s love are all connected based on these three concepts. The original starting point of the universe was based on these three concepts. The victorious foundation depends on the restoration of these three concepts. We must understand cause and effect; otherwise, we cannot connect to that Kingdom of Heaven upon the earth and the spiritual Kingdom of Heaven, which is God’s love world. You have to live according to absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. This is the formula for our life. God’s eternal world starts from here.

This miserable world is like a jail. These three concepts, absolute faith, love and obedience, are the dividing line between heaven and hell. If all the American families totally unite with the spirit of these three criteria, do you think there would be divorce? [No.] Do you think the grandchildren would try to stay away from their grandparents? [No.] Do you think they would stay away from their parents? [No.] Do you think there would be a homosexual lifestyle? [No.] Some brutal mothers have killed their infant babies; do you think that kind of tragedy would take place? [No.] All immorality will be cleansed and only the heavenly ideal will prevail.

The time for entering the Completed Testament Age is based on these three major concepts. Because of the human fall, we lost Adam on the family level, tribal level, national level, worldwide level and cosmic level. Therefore, through these three major concepts, we can now restore Adam’s whole family, from the individual to the cosmic levels. The left side of these three concepts is hell, while the right side is heaven. That means if we persevere with this spirit, we belong to heaven.

Now do you understand the will of God? [Yes.] What is it? The completion of the four-position foundation through three generations: the grandparents’ level, the parents’ level, and our level. Do you need grandparents in America? [Yes.] What about Americans in general, do they feel they need grandparents? [No.] They send them to the senior citizens’ home. God stands in the first generation, Adam in the second generation, and their children in the third generation. We lost all three generations because of the fall. God longed to love grandchildren, but He didn’t have a chance. Grandchildren should receive love from both the grandparents and their parents. Adam and Eve received only the love from God. They should have experienced love through the vertical parental relationship and the horizontal parental relationship, but they couldn’t do that because of the fall. When the horizontal parents combine into one and become complete, their unity and love expands to the horizontal world. This is the formula, the seed. Once this seed is planted, it can expand to the horizontal world.

American grandparents are sad that they can’t love their grandchildren and receive joy and love from them. We need three generations in order to accomplish the three levels of love: the parents’ level, grandparents’ and children’s level. Because this is a circular movement, everyone is the same distance from the center. Only after grandparents love their grandchildren can they be equal in terms of the horizontal love relationship. This three-generational love must be practiced at home. God’s love, parental love, and children’s love must be put into practice.

We can call this three kingdoms of love. The grandparents represent the past, the Kingdom of God in the spirit world. Parents represent the kingship of this present physical world. Children, who are the grandchildren of the grandparents, represent the future world. If there are twelve children, they represent the entire world. God gave birth to only Adam and Eve, but as God’s children Adam and Eve had the privilege of producing twelve or even twenty children. In that sense they are in an even better situation than God. So do you think you should have as many children as you can, or just a small number? [Many!] There are twelve different directions, and once you have twelve children and succeed in loving each of the twelve, you have set the condition of mastery over love. If you raise your twelve children successfully, you will resemble God that much more, because your mind makes a circular movement through offering your love to your twelve children. That means you gain all kinds of experiences.

Jesus Christ had twelve disciples. Moses led twelve tribes. In the Unification Church, the first thirty-six Blessed couples included twelve Adam’s-type couples, twelve Noah’s-type couples, and twelve Jacob’s-type couples. Once twelve nations in the world become one, then the entire world will naturally be united. That’s the meaning of the number twelve.

Have you served your grandparents at home? You should consider your grandparents to be God’s emissaries to your family. God sends us ambassadors of heaven, and they are our grandparents. Beyond even the parental level is the kingship of the worldwide family. In the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, each generation will receive more love than the previous one. Each generation will seek to build on the national base and expand the world of God’s dominion.

What are we as husband and wife? We are in the position of king and queen. You all want to become kings and queens, don’t you? [Yes.] King and queen represent the center. This is only possible in the world of True Love.

To begin with, I want to create the circumstances that would allow anybody to travel freely anywhere within North and South America without a visa. Let’s say there are 160 different nations in the world. On the vertical level, these nations will be restored horizontally through indemnity. When these 160 nations join together as brothers and sisters centering on parents, the Kingdom of God will begin, from the individual and family levels all the way to the worldwide level. The developed countries and the underdeveloped countries will be on the same line horizontally.

In your family, if one of your brothers is sick or somehow crippled, you have to pay more attention to him and give him more love, isn’t it true? Mother is going to create such a model here and apply it to all the different nations. The United Nations was supposed to do this role, but it failed, so I am going to create a new one.

The entire human history was contaminated because of the false love from Satan’s lineage. Even if the entire Empire State Building were given to me, as soon as I saw a trace of Satan’s false love there, I would spit at it and not even touch it.

We are making a new start. After the fall, God didn’t want to see or sense any sin. Therefore, the holy son, holy daughter and all the holy family must make a tent where God can dwell with them. Then brotherly expansion will be no problem. Once that tent is made, to restore one nation within seven years will be no problem. This proclamation shows the formula for all human beings. The prototype has been established, and everyone can learn it, follow it, and expand upon it. The same system can be constructed everywhere, and then God will automatically dwell everywhere. That will be the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

Think about how precious and how great it is that with these sinful hands and sinful eyes and sinful body you can start building the holy community, the holy nation and the holy palace to receive the Lord of the Second Advent and to have God dwell with you. Don’t you think this is the greatest task we can have? [Yes!] Once we create the ideal community or nation where God can dwell with us and we can dwell with God, we will become the children of God. Do you like that idea? [Yes!] In order to do that, we have to restore our right to the heavenly blood lineage, our right to restore possessions to God’s side, and the realm of heart. Upon that foundation, we will practice absolute faith, love and obedience. That will be the stage in which we enter the Kingdom of God.

Don’t let people misunderstand me and say that I came to use people like slaves all over the world. No. Because of these three criteria, I had to go through all kinds of difficult situations during the past forty years. Those three concepts belong to the absolute God. When you stand in that kind of position, you automatically connect to God, the absolute being. You need to connect to the center, vertically and horizontally. No matter what force may hit you, God will protect this vertical being. We must persevere no matter what difficulty or problem may confront us. This is a one-way route; there is no going back.

With absolute love, absolute faith and absolute obedience, I am able to go everywhere. Being imprisoned six times was no problem. With these three concepts, we can tear down Satan’s strong places. With these three concepts, we can connect the religious world to the worldwide foundation.

After World War II people should have welcomed the Second Advent. The Second Advent is based upon absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. True Parents come to restore everything in the past. Ultimately, the world will welcome us and people will be able to experience joy, freedom, happiness, and the fulfillment of all their dreams. That will be the atmosphere of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

Well, True Parents are leaving America. You are the ones who have to build the Kingdom of God right here in America. Are you going to do that? [YES!] You don’t need Parents? So you don’t need True Parents, you don’t need your own parents, and you don’t even need God, because you know everything. As long as you take my teaching seriously and practice this throughout your whole life, if it doesn’t come true you can accuse me when you join the spirit world, saying, “Father, you swindler! You cheated us on earth.” I will just laugh at you, because I have absolute confidence that as long as you practice these three criteria properly, you will end up in the Kingdom of God in heaven. If you end up some place else and protest to me, I will immediately know that it happened because you made a mistake along the way.

This is the final point of my speech this morning: if you ask your hands, your eyes, your ears, and your most important organ, the sexual organ, whether you really practice my three major teachings, they will all have to say in unison: YES. Those who are confident that you can practice this teaching, raise your hands. That means that there are this many candidates who can enter the Kingdom of God. Hallelujah! Amen! Hallelujah! Amen! Now, focus your energy here, because this may be your last chance to see me in America. Mobilize all your energy now. If you want to see me, come to South America. God bless you!

Father desires to unite North and South America. South America is based upon the Latin culture, while North America is based upon Anglo-Saxon culture. It is like a Cain and Abel struggle. Therefore Father desires to have them united. In order to do this, internally Father wants to have things organized in such a way that they will combine and function as one continent. Catholicism is in the position of Cain and Protestantism in the position of Abel. When they combine into one, they will be able to lead the whole world and revive Christianity. Christianity’s concern should be how to save the world, not simply the nation. From God’s viewpoint we need one world under God. The Protestant world is in Abel’s position, while the Catholic world is in Cain’s position. Until these two Christian worlds are united, the world cannot find unity. Christianity as it stands today, divided into Cain and Abel, cannot save this world. Only when they combine into one will they be able to save this world. Who is able to bring them into one? This is our mission. True Parents’ mission. No matter what difficulty we may face, we must understand this clearly.

The disciples of Jesus were always struggling and fighting with one another. Jacob’s household was also divided with fighting among the brothers. There was also the division of Israel into north and south with the ten tribes in the north and two tribes in the south, representing the left and right wing. This kind of fighting went on among Jesus’ disciples as well. Now North and South Americas combining into one will equal twelve nations. When these twelve unite into one, there will be no problem. Twelve nations united into one represents the world center. Do you understand? Therefore, no matter what, it is our mission to unite north and south.

Have you heard the recent news from South America concerning Father’s last visit there? [No.] Father is directing Reverend Kwak to share the messages called “Sao Paulo Proclamation” given by True Father on True Parents’ Day, “New Hope Farms Proclamation”, and Father’s future plan for South America as well as for the world. The proclamation was “Blessed Family Proclamation” and that means new era.

[Reverend Kwak now gives a report as directed by Father.]

Already you have received a public letter from the World Mission Department concerning Father’s Sao Paulo Proclamation, as well as the New Hope Farm Proclamation. This time I met with many leaders, but they did not quite understand. Furthermore, even many attended Father’s speeches in South America, still their understanding was not enough. Using this opportunity, I will introduce once again to all leaders Father’s main content of the proclamations. Also I would like to more fully explain the significant meaning of this proclamation.

First, the Sao Paulo Declaration:

Through sacrifice and True Love, following the way of restoration by indemnity, True Parents have brought the victory step by step from the individual level to the cosmic level horizontally, and from the servant of servant level to the level of God vertically. On the 36th True Parents’ Day Father made the Sao Paulo Declaration which proclaimed the beginning of the second forty-year course, a period in which all Unification Church members worldwide, must inherit True Parents’ foundation of victory and fulfill their portion of responsibility. Centering upon True Parents’ words given over the past forty years, especially those given at the new year, such as the mottoes, Father emphasized that the second forty-year course is the period when we must follow one step behind True Parents and accomplish what they have accomplished. During this period we have to establish True Parents’ tradition as an absolute. Father spoke as follows:

On the way of God’s will there can be no “self”. We must reach the level of “zero” existence. There must be no arrogance or individualism. True Parents’ life of tradition has been one of loving the earth, loving all things, loving all mankind and loving God, single-mindedly for the realization of God’s will. This has been the path of pouring out True Love. We must inherit this life of tradition from True Parents. To do this, we should love the earth, the creation, mankind and God, and accomplish the mission of tribal messiah.

The official Second Forty-Year Course begins from March 31, 1995, on this 36th True Parents’ Day. This is the period of our portion of responsibility which should be fulfilled on the level of Blessed families, centering on the second generation Blessed families. Being those who have inherited the victorious vertical and horizontal foundation of True Parents, our responsibility does not extend to the restoration of the cosmos, but Blessed families who have fulfilled the mission of tribal messiah must join together as one for the restoration of a nation. It may not necessarily take forty years to fulfill this. It could be accomplished within seven or even four years according to how well we fulfill our faith and portion of responsibility.

At this point in time, True Parents are initiating the establishment of a model ideal town and nation in South America. This has very great providential significance. The providence in South America is thus bringing and extending the victory and blessing of the Abel sphere, which was established by God, into the Cain sphere. Through this providence, the foundation of North America (Protestantism) in the position of Abel, is shifting and being joined to the foundation in South America (Catholicism). Next, the victory of this united Abel sphere must be connected to the Jewish sphere and they must become one. Then, the victory of this united and expanded sphere of Abel must be connected to the sphere of Islam and thus further expanded in unity. Finally, the victory and blessing of this greatly expanded Abel sphere must be connected to the spheres of other religions. This is the future direction of the providence.

Centering on North America, the worldwide Unification Church should make special effort to support South America. Just as we inherited the realm of victory from True Parents, we have to expand it and invest our utmost effort so that the Cain sphere can receive God’s blessing.”

Father makes now an important addition. As we just read, our responsibility is not necessarily forty years, even seven or four years could be sufficient. Father also mentioned that even four months could be sufficient, it all depends upon us. If a president of a nation were to join and follow True Parents direction, then to bring that nation would not be difficult. Firstly, Father explained that it would be possible to fulfill in such a short period of time because Satan’s fundamental persecution is already over for us, because we all stand upon Father’s worldwide victorious foundation. Father’s name has to be liberated and this will lead to the way free of persecution. Secondly, Father must restore and lay indemnity conditions for the worldwide and cosmic level. Though Father’s foundation exists in over 160 nations still he is one center having to sacrifice toward 160 nations. However, for us we have responsibility for one single nation, one single people, because Father’s victorious foundation is already beyond the national level. However, Satan cannot go beyond the national base. Only God can go over the national level, so now Father is going over the national level, connecting this victorious condition to the cosmic world. Do you understand?

Satan is unable to follow at the worldwide base. Only the good archangel base can influence the earth, whereas the bad archangel base will be chased out. Do you understand? [Yes, Father.] Outside society has their individual center, family center, national center and world center, complicated at every level. Now the family has crumbled and no power on earth can bring about unity for that kind of family, nation or anything. That is Satan’s complicated kingdom in the fallen world. Satan has created these complications in the world, and they are breaking down; it is that kind of situation. However, on the opposite side, God’s place, centering upon True Father, has everything: the individual center, family center, tribal center, national center, world center, cosmic center and God’s center of True Love. One pillar connecting and combining those eight levels, centering upon True Love combined into one vertical pillar. Once this pillar is set up with a vertical axis, no one can move it. No matter what may come against this pillar, Satan or even the American nation, it is strong enough to repel; it is that strong. Is this clear? [Yes.] You can control the spiritual world when you are in perfected Adam’s position, Adam’s family. You can control the spiritual world and everything. The spiritual world is in the archangel position. [Reverend Kwak continues to read the Sao Paolo Declaration.]

This is the history of restoration from the individual to the world level [indicating on the board]. There are two different ways to view it, both vertically and horizontally. Vertically speaking, at the individual level you progress through each level, family, tribe, society all the way through the cosmic level. Because this is the history of restoration, it will come down to the individual level again, eight different stages as shown here [indicating to the board]. At the same time it indemnified 4000 years of history since the time of Jacob. During World War II, the right side represented the free world centering upon Great Britain, America and France. While on the left hand side, representing the Satanic power, was Japan, Germany and Italy. [Father draws on the board indicating the diagram.] These Axis countries, in the position of Cain, attacked the Abel nations, the Allied countries. This took place at the worldwide level. At that point if worldwide Christianity had been united with Father no more vertical structure would have been necessary. Horizontally they would have been able to develop the different stages, individual level, family level, society level, all the way to the worldwide level without persecution.

Therefore, if right after World War II worldwide Christianity had been united with Father, even this horizontal eight different stages [indicating the diagram on the board] would have been completed and the entire world would have become one centering upon the Lord of the Second Advent. Allied countries were in the position of the spiritual side, and the Axis countries in the position of the physical side. The Allied countries were based upon Christianity and so we can place them in a more spiritual position. The Second World War was to clean up the battle between the spiritual and physical realms. Therefore, it was a great opportunity for the world to come into oneness without any persecution. Centering upon this individual family [indicating to the board], all the different stages of progression would have been accomplished up to the worldwide level. This represents the messiah’s family, [indicating to the board] the messiah’s tribe which is the extension of the family; the next level is an extension of this level and so on, the last being the worldwide stage. Looking at the worldwide stage accomplishment from the vertical viewpoint, it includes all the other smaller stages. This could have been accomplished during the seven years between 1945 and 1952. Do you understand? [Yes.]

Because World War II was supposed to have cleaned up the battle between the physical and spiritual side, had world Christianity become united with the Lord of the Second Advent, this entire world would have become one. There would have been no boundaries at the individual, family and national levels. No national boundaries would have existed. This would have been the culmination of 4000 years of historical restoration. Through all manner of various religions God had worked up to that point. Great Britain stood in the position of Eve, America stood in the position of Abel and France was in the position of Cain. These three had to become united, like the unity between mind and body. This originates from Adam’s family. Within Adam’s family there was Eve, and Cain and Abel. This formula was at the worldwide level during World War II. This one window of opportunity came right at the end of World War II for the bride culture of Christianity to unite the entire world and build the Kingdom of God on earth. If the bride, world Christianity, had embraced the bridegroom, the world would have become one.

The beginning of human history started with marriages centered upon Satan. This began on the family level, but multiplied and extended to the worldwide level. At the end of World War II, the entire fallen history could have been reversed. At the time of the reversal, beginning from True Parents’ marriage, the entire world would have been restored through marriage. This is called the Blessing, because the mistake of the fall was made by marrying. Do you understand? Therefore, we have to go the reversal course to reach completion, going back to the original point. This progression took place through utilizing all manner of religions throughout the history. At the top of this level [indicating to the diagram], once we eliminate Satan this entire spectrum can be spread out at the horizontal level. Then there is no boundary whatsoever. This original level is here again. It begins again with the family [Father draws on the board] and spreads out. At the end of World War II, the Allied countries won the victory. However, for whom was the victory won? Not for the sake of America, not for the sake of Great Britain, not for the sake of France.

What is the meaning of the fall? The vertical relationship and horizontal relationship between God and Parents was cut off and eliminated. Therefore, the meaning of the victory of World War II was not for the sake of the countries. At the time of Adam’s family, there was failure and the Cain and Abel relationship was destroyed. At the end of the World War II, that relationship was restored at the worldwide level for the sake of God, in order to build the Kingdom of God on earth. That was the meaning. After the fall the family base was lost. On every level, there was bad Eve and bad Cain and Abel, the tribe’s bad Eve and bad Cain and Abel, and bad world Satan’s side Eve and Cain and Abel. God’s side is the opposite way. Who attacks first? Satan. Why?

How to again unify the mind and body? Mind and body were separated at the individual base in Adam and Eve, and expanded to the world level, including everything on the eight levels from the individual on up, culminating after World War II. Expanded to the world base after World War II, Japan, Germany and Italy represented Satan’s side, the body side. England, America and France represented God’s side and the spiritual side. God’s side represents the mind and Satan’s side represents the body. At the fall, the flesh side attacked the mind side. In the Garden of Eden, the body attacked the mind through the fall. The same happened on the world level, when the body side, represented by Japan, Germany and Italy, the world Satan’s side, attacked the mind side, represented by England, America and France. At that time, 100 percent victory brought them back to that original point. Do you follow? Is it clear?

Without the fall, centering upon Adam’s family, these eight stages could have been developed naturally and built the ideal world. Even though externally it was developed at the different stages, all of them belonged to Satan. That is why at the end of World War II, on the worldwide level it could have been reversed and restored. This is the point Father is trying to make here. World War II was equivalent to the war of Armageddon mentioned in the Bible, the war to eliminate Satan’s power for eternity. Through the fall, mankind lost elder sonship, parentship and kingship. Therefore, those Allied countries, after the victory of World War II, were supposed to become totally one and restore the elder sonship position at the worldwide level. This means restoring the elder son’s birthright and True Parents’ position, and finally kingship on the earth. They were supposed to establish those three positions lost through the fall, but Adam’s family lost the subject and object. Eve did not take the position of absolute faith in God, which means establishing God and humankind in the absolute relationship of Father and son. This would have led to brotherhood, centering on love. Love is the power to create one body, absolutely, out of the mind and body, not two. Absolute, centered love is a one body concept. Eve did not make oneness with God. Therefore, the absolute love concept was lost. They received the warning directly from God that they should not eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They were supposed to obey absolutely. If they had, there would have been no fall.

If Adam and Eve had obeyed God absolutely, based upon their absolute faith and offered absolute love, then God would become the essence of their absoluteness. Eventually, God’s love would have flown to mankind. Following this, the absolute society and world would have been established. In other words, God would have given the essence of their absoluteness back to human beings. However, Cain murdered Abel. In order to restore that relationship we need at least three criteria: absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. This is the only way that we would be able to restore this. These three concepts are most important, because without them we cannot perfect the concept of elder sonship and we cannot connect with True Father. Do you understand? [Yes, Father.] Without these three concepts, you cannot obtain kingship. In the Last Days, all of humankind has to follow these three concepts of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Satan understands this end time very well and he has created the individual hell and extended it to the world. Satan planted the free sex concept. Now it is on the world level, giving us the hardest time. Teenager’s have this problem on a worldwide level. Homosexuality denies the opposite side; it is the position of the archangel. The lesbian concept also denies the opposite side. Those who follow those concepts will completely perish, all over the world. Do you understand? [Yes, Father.] DO YOU UNDERSTAND? [Yes, Father.]

Satan’s atmosphere of hell is surrounding the earth. You have to break out from it. It is Satan’s hell of individualism, Satan’s kingship spirit. In God’s world, everything is connected to everything else; there is no concept of private. The earth is connected to the plant world, and the plant world to the animal world, the animal world to the human world, the human world connects to God. Everything is connected. Satan knows that God wants to make a unified world. Satan figured out how to break it completely. Satan has made a complicated pattern in this world, a world of hell. Do you understand? If Reverend Moon did not come, you could not understand. How can you make the foundation for Parents otherwise? You would just be making the foundation to perish from this world. Satan’s completion is death. This is God’s viewpoint of the providence. Is this clear? [Yes.] America is full of individualism. To whom does America belong? Hell! They proclaim that we don’t need grandparents, we don’t need parents, we don’t need men and women, we don’t need brothers. This attitude has completely broken down the family system. Unificationists on the opposite side need to proclaim that we absolutely do need grandparents, parents, couples and children. We need the vertical and the horizontal. Do you understand? [Yes.] You have to understand this.

Right after World War II, it would have taken only seven years to build the Kingdom of God on earth centering upon the messiah, who was in the position of the True Parents of mankind. However, this entire world, based upon Christianity, chased the messiah out into the wilderness. Even though he was chased out into the wilderness, vertically he was still absolutely connected to God. However, the messiah lost all the objects of the physical world. Therefore, to indemnify this 4000 years of human history which God had prepared he needed to lay the condition in the last forty years to indemnify this. Satan had known God’s and the messiah’s plan, so he concentrated all of his efforts to destroy the foundation within America that the messiah needed. This is the only explanation as to why, after America achieved the position of the leading nation of the world, it has become almost destroyed internally now. America was the base of Christianity that the messiah needed to work with. This is the foundation that Satan has worked to destroy. This is why America is in the situation it is today.

Communism joined Christianity somehow. Satan took the communist world and influenced the Christian world against God. Thus Satan controlled both the Christian and communist worlds. Both combined to make a unified foundation against Reverend Moon. That is why Father had to destroy communism. Without separating communism from Christianity, there was no hope for Father to work with Christianity. [Father writes on the board.] The messiah replaced these original Christian providential countries of England, America and France. Now they have been replaced by Japan, America and Germany. After World War II, countries such as Japan and Germany were defeated and reduced almost to ashes. However, the messiah chose them to replace the original Allied countries. Therefore, they have prospered and received all of the benefits from the Western culture. Because we have to restore these original Allied countries, Father sent out missionaries from Japan, America and Germany as missionaries to the world. By doing so it was a kind of offensive against communism and Christianity from God’s side.

The Carter Administration took the direction some years ago that Reverend Moon’s strategy to spread his ideology throughout the world should be stopped. Just as Jesus was opposed and crucified through the joint effort of Judaism and the Roman Empire, when Father was launching this worldwide campaign Christianity, in the position of Judaism at the time of Jesus Christ, and communism, in the position of the Roman Empire, joined together to oppose Father. It was a duplication of what occurred at the time of Jesus. That is why Father has to walk the road of the cross in the twentieth century. The only difference is that Satan didn’t have any way to eliminate the messiah this time, because this is not the tribal or national level. The twentieth century is the worldwide level. Now the Lord of the Second Advent is working at the worldwide level and so Satan could not eliminate him. However, opposition was still there. [Applause.] Father had to begin from scratch. He worked his way from the individual level all the way to the worldwide level.

During the last forty years Father has won the victory on each level from the individual all the way to the worldwide level. Father has now set up this worldwide level Cain and Abel continents of South America and North America. Through uniting these into Cain and Abel continents Father will establish a worldwide foundation. During the last twenty years, the Unification Church, centering upon Father, was in the position of Abel and American Christianity in the position of Cain. Christianity has opposed the Unification Church all along, but the result is that the Unification Church has been going up and Christianity has been going down. Now finally we have reached the point where American Christianity must work with the Unification Church. They need help from Reverend Moon and the Unification Church otherwise they will disappear. Looking at the relationship between American Christianity and the American government, then Christianity is in the position of Abel and the American government is in the position of Cain.

On the national level Cain and Abel must be united. Therefore, the Unification Church has been working to help America bring about this unity between Cain and Abel. The goal of the Unification Church is worldwide level Cain and Abel unity. The Unification Church has set the proper condition to claim the victory won in America on the worldwide level, between Cain and Abel-Christianity and the Unification Church-and now we are trying to combine North and South America at the worldwide level. The Japanese women who came to this country created unity with the archangel country women representatives. The time has now come for all the women in America to declare that they do not want free sex, homosexuality and lesbian practices. Due to all of these immoral practices, we cannot find ideal spouses. Rather, we want to look toward the Oriental countries of Japan and Korea to find our ideal partners.

Weak woman needs that unchangeable, eternal partner. Oriental men are small, but they have strong power. Western women want that Oriental man. Do you understand? Therefore, those American playboys won’t have any place to go. They will have to divorce their spouses and live alone because they won’t be able to find an ideal partner here. It is a world of hell here. The worst kind of world. Is this clear? [Yes, Father.] You American men do you really enjoy your privacy and your individualism? [No.] We have to solve this problem of individualism. No military power or power of knowledge can solve these problems. Against the power of hell you need a high spiritual leader who can save you from going down. Only God and Unificationism centering upon True Parents can do it; otherwise, there is no way. You have to understand this clearly. Did you fulfill your missions or enjoy your lives in your own way?

During this forty-year period, all Blessed couples were supposed to accomplish their missions and be united absolutely with True Parents, but they failed. Father alone has been working through all of these different stages. That is why Father does not go down this way [indicating the board], but the other way around. At this point Father came down and, in terms of restoration, Father now has to work with the second generation. Therefore, the second generation faces the same situation of having to be totally united with True Parents and restore all the stages. That is what is referred to as the second forty-year period. Do you understand? [Yes.] Because we lost that foundation, Father declared the home church campaign and all other necessary projects but we failed. Everybody, without exception, has to go through this process again. It is the only way to restore everything. We have to begin from this bottom point again. The tools that we need are absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. The same principle applies to Father himself. From the individual, family, society levels all the way to the worldwide level, Father himself applied this formula of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience and accomplished this much.

If Father fails to practice this criteria, Satan will kick him. That is why, for Father, there is no complaint. Always he applies the principle of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. Even in prison, even on his death bed he will not waiver. Looking at the history of various religions, we can see that they all practice, one way or another, this principle of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. In so doing they produced many martyrs. Theirs was a history of suffering and agony. God is the Subject. What kind of Subject? The center of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. Therefore, if God is in the position of Subject, we who are in the position of object have to inherit and practice these three principles. Without doing so, we cannot inherit God’s eternal characteristics and God’s blessing. At the time of the creation of Adam and Eve, God created them on the base of absolute faith, love and obedience because God himself was sacrificial. He invested everything in that spirit of absoluteness. Therefore, to be restored, we absolutely have to go through these eight different stages and practice absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. This is the key.

If the twelve disciples of Jesus had been able to demonstrate absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, Jesus would have never been crucified. Therefore, we Blessed couples of the Unification Church are supposed to be above the position of Jesus Christ’s level. Therefore, we are supposed to be able to practice this absolute faith, love and obedience and then be absolutely united with True Parents. In reality we have been living freely on our own. We failed in restoring our Cain at the family, society, national and worldwide levels. Therefore, Father is now giving us a precious opportunity on a worldwide level that North American Protestant-based Christianity is now offering everything to restore South America, which is in the position of Cain at the worldwide level.

Just as we have witnessed Father, the founder of the Unification Church, investing every ounce of his energy so that he is in big debt because he invested for the sake of North America, standing in Abel’s position saving America in Cain’s position. All American people received Father’s spirit. We have to save Cain, South America; then there will be no problems. This is high atmosphere. This is low atmosphere. Nature brings the high down. Americans are high, saying they don’t need South America, calling it low level, and saying you dislike that. “Hmmm, we are high level; those South Americans are so bad.” Now you must go the opposite way. American people, if you have land and a house then sell it out. Why? For the sake of saving your elder brother, South America. Without saving this elder brother, you cannot return to True Family and True Parents. You cannot find the True Family. You cannot find the true Kingdom of Heaven on earth. This is a reasonable conclusion. No matter how smart you are, you cannot deny this. Is this really clear for you? [Yes, Father.] I cannot believe you.

This eight different stages is like a ladder that is broken; we have to reconnect and rebuild it. It is going to be easier than the course which Father took for forty years. It may take us only four years, because of Father’s victory. We only need to accomplish the tribal messiah’s role successfully and then we can follow Father’s footsteps and it will be achieved nationally. Again, from the wilderness Father returned to this point [indicating to the board] and restored these eight different stages. Now only these eight different stages of the ladder are broken and left for us to repair. We must rebuild it, the ideology of founding nation, which is the Unification spirit and ideology. The problem is we don’t have the nation. We need to restore the nation before we can restore the world. This is the transitional time from the national to the worldwide level. Do you understand? Father had no choice but to go to the lowest point once Christianity failed. The first time Father came to America he began at the national level dealing with the President and Secretary of State, but somehow they failed. This reversal has to take place once again. When the Catholic Christians in South America become united, then the world can be united.

Unless you follow Father’s footsteps, there is no way to reveal these eight different steps of the ladder. Father is going to rebuild it, we simply have to support and help him. How can we support and help him? Through our absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. This democratic free world is decayed and finished, due to all kinds of individualism and privacy. Do you understand? [Yes.] Elder son’s position, True Parents’ position, and true kingship were all lost at the time of Adam. How can the brothers be unified, centering upon the mother? That creates an expansion. How else can they make such a wide place? This is the viewpoint of the purpose of God’s history. No one else knew this secret, except Father. True Parents understand everything. True Children everywhere can hear something one time and immediately understand that concept. Once you clearly understand you can take action. [Yes, Father.] Now the modern world understands theoretically, but when it is clearly understood there will be no problem. We understand clearly, so we can recreate this without any difficulty. Can’t we? [Yes, Father.] Really? [Yes, Father.] I cannot believe you. [We can do it, Father.] How did we lose all of this absolute faith, love and obedience? Adam and Eve did not take it seriously. Now is the time that we have to take it absolutely by offering our absolute faith, love and obedience. That is why this second forty-year period is needed. Reverend Kwak should now continue in his explanation to you.

[Reverend Kwak begins to explain once again.]

The 36th True Parents’ Day was celebrated at the Brazilian headquarters church, which was dedicated by Father two years ago. The building itself is very big and beautifully restored. After the celebration of True Parents’ Day, True Parents moved to the New Hope Farm with the international leaders. There Father proclaimed the New Hope Farm Declaration which I will now read to you.

True Parents made the New Hope Farm Declaration at 5 a.m. on April 3, 1995, in front of representative leaders of 160 nations gathered at the New Hope Farm in Brazil. This is one of the specific projects geared to the practical application of the Sao Paulo Declaration. It details the establishment of the model for an ideal society and ideal nation. Following is the essential content of what was proclaimed:

“Today’s world is confronting a human crisis of sexual immorality, breakdown of families, and surging individualism. In addition, environmental pollution threatens the very existence of human life on our earth.

All mankind needs, now more than at any time before, a movement of people living together in mutual cooperation and True Love, and a movement to protect the environment; that is, to love and preserve nature. Most importantly, this movement should be led by religious people.

From the early days, True Parents have taught us that “Unless a person loves nature, which was created for mankind, he cannot say that he loves mankind. And unless he loves all people, who are created to be the true children of God, he cannot say that he loves God.” It is natural that whoever loves God must love human beings, who were created to be God’s children. Furthermore, how can a person say that he loves mankind and God unless he loves nature which was created for mankind?

In an ideal society or nation, the people, transcending national and racial barriers, will cooperate with each other to live harmoniously and in happiness. They will be conscious of being God’s sons and daughters and one extended family which can meet as brothers and sisters centered upon True Parents. This is the place where all the Blessed families who have restored their blood lineage, the realm of ownership and their hearts under True Parents’ language and culture, will accomplish the world of freedom, peace and unity. All people will co-exist in co-prosperity and common cause in this culture of God’s heart. Therefore, this world will have nothing to do with corruption or injustice, or with war or crime. Mankind will eliminate the causes of pollution in the global environment, and love and protect nature as a true owner.

In this ideal model world, all of life’s activities and labors will be expressed in the practice of joyful service for the sake of others based on a heart of love. Therefore, there will be equality in standard of living. For education, all the modern facilities of civilization will be utilized. On the foundation of Blessed families, education of heart and norm will take priority over academic education, physical education and technological education. Accordingly, this will be education for the purpose of raising up people of goodness who will follow the heavenly way.

The realization of ideals in this way is impossible without True Parents’ thought, namely, the ideology of True Love for the sake of others. Adam lost faith through the fall, and all people are destined to pass through the way of restoration for which they need absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. God’s providence has been working through religion to accomplish this. The absolute faith of providential figures such as Noah is therefore precious.

True Parents became the embodiment of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, gaining victory in the severe battle they faced not only on earth but also in the spirit world. True Parents are bequeathing their victorious foundation to us. We must imitate this tradition of True Parents in practice and resemble True Parents in the way they love the world, all things, mankind and God, so that we can establish the model of an ideal nation.

The New Hope Farm is a place for practicing precisely these things. It is where we invest and invest our love again, loving the earth, the water and nature. Many people of the world will come together as brothers and sisters here and practice the building of God’s nation. By showing all people what we accomplish here we can educate them in how to establish a community of love transcending skin color, culture and nation. We can also show the standard of how to love and care for the creation. At the same time, we can awaken everyone to the fact that the global environment needs to be controlled internationally under this ideology. Here on this farm we can show mankind a model of how to rid the world of war, hunger and crime, and how to live in happiness and peace.

The 160 mission countries of the world will support this project with materials and manpower, and also with prayer. Youth from around the world will receive training and gain practical experience here. Then, they will return to their home countries and become the front line leaders in building ideal nations. At first this project will be supported at the continental level. As a first step, five people from each of forty nations will be sent. From May 1 of this year, the first two from each nation will go to participate in this historic movement.”

This is the main content of the New Hope Farm Declaration. [Reverend Kwak reads the statement in Korean, then hears from True Father.] Father would like to add one important thing here, the Family Pledge content. This basic idea and practice of Father is always based upon the Family Pledge. Centering upon both of these proclamations, I would like to share with you a little more of the significance of these two important proclamations. First, our worldwide membership, including leaders, are a little confused in some cases. Already the Completed Testament era has begun. From now on what is their dispensational progress and direction? Some have questions regarding the future of the Unification community. However, the Sao Paulo Declaration makes our future direction and purpose very clear.

Beginning March 31, 1995, the second forty-year course began. If we understand well and digest the significance and meaning of the second forty-year course, then automatically our responsibility and goal becomes very clear. As you know, we are one stage behind True Parents. We should follow True Parents’ tradition and lay conditions as to how we can inherit True Parents’ tradition. From now on, all Unificationists need to educate themselves well and follow the main content of Father’s forty-year course. In Korea I have almost completed one book of Father’s words centering upon this past forty years, most especially centering upon the new year speeches. Since 1960, Father has been educating us through the yearly mottoes given each God’s Day. After Father directed me to collect Father’s past mottoes, I was so amazed at their content. All that Father has taught us year by year is not simply yearly mottoes; rather, all of these mottoes are linked to the whole mainstream of the dispensation. Furthermore, the entire forty yearly mottoes and new year speeches are so systematic and contain the complete content of what Father has reached. Centering upon these speeches we intend to make a book after translating the main points of these speeches. Centering upon this book, we should educate our followers. Without fully digesting and understanding Father’s forty-year course, we cannot begin our second forty-year course. From now on, we have to educate our members with this content.

The subject of the second forty-year course is ourselves; the second generation era. The unit is no longer the individual, but rather a Blessed family unit. The second forty-year course has to always be viewed from the perspective of the family unit, with the second generation being the subject figure. Most importantly, it is the era of our portion of responsibility, not Heavenly Father or True Parents’, but we ourselves. We are already standing upon Father’s worldwide victorious foundation. Because of this foundation, we no longer meet persecution and hostility. We have already received amazing benefit and grace. Our goal is how to restore our own nation. Before restoring the nation, the subjects are the tribal messiahs who have fulfilled their own responsibility. After fulfilling their own responsibility, many tribal messiahs can join together and the next stage is the restoration of their own nation. Because of this Father emphasized tribal messiahship for so many years. All Blessed couples, centering upon the Family Pledge, need to take this as our living standard, then, after fulfilling tribal messiahship, restore the country together.

During this course, we should educate our followers. Many members feel that because this is the Completed Testament era, we should not expect to receive any more persecution or negativity. Members need to be educated using the analogy of the borderline between one day and another day-the midnight hour. Once midnight is reached the new day begins, but immediately following midnight darkness still exists. In 1993, the Completed Testament era began, but this is equivalent to the midnight hour in God’s entire history. Dawn will definitely break, a new sun will rise. Still darkness prevails for a period of time. Fundamentally it is now impossible for Satan himself to attack True Parents directly, but Satan’s regime is still surrounding and attacking many areas. The reality of this world is still under Satan’s regime, but the important thing to remember is that midnight has past and dawn is coming. Furthermore, Satan’s power to attack True Parents and the Unification community is fundamentally lost. If we follow Father’s direction with absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, we will be able to shorten the time of the coming of the dawn. Father has already told us that it could be possible within four months, if one national leader or prime minister were to become fully Father’s son or daughter. The restoration of a nation would be easy. From the Sao Paulo Declaration, we should clearly know in which direction the Unification community is going and follow the guidelines of this declaration.

Secondly, the New Hope Farm Declaration: We national leaders stayed for six days at New Hope Farm with True Parents. Always our meeting began at 5 a.m., we listened to Father’s guidance and after breakfast we would go out fishing or farming until it would be dark. We would then return home. After dinner, we would meet and Father would continuously teach until midnight. This is Father and Mother’s lifestyle at the New Hope Farm. Please think about Father and Mother’s age. Already in this country Father obtained an amazing victorious condition. Representatives of the Abel foundation of this country follow and support Father. Cain figure representatives also closely understand and support Father. Now the Washington Times’ foundation has become amazingly important within this country. Externally Father has won such a wonderful victorious foundation already. Upon this kind of external victorious foundation, it would be normal to imagine that Father and Mother would remain in this country. After all, Father has many plans and has worked 360 degrees centered upon this country. Here there is a convenient environment, but Father chooses to go the way that is 180 degrees opposite to normal people’s common sense and heads for the pioneering path in South America. In South America, the surrounding foundation is almost zero compared with this country. By himself he initiated the farm and stood on the front-line facing a difficult lifestyle. Many things are inconvenient and uncomfortable in that area.

The two goals are externally protecting the environment, and internally protecting people, beyond nationality, culture and race to create an ideal society. Only True Parents can conduct such a thing. This is not simply an idea, it is a reality. It has already begun. We need to educate world leaders with Father’s goals and ideals. They should be aware of what Father is now doing. Until now, the most important issue for True Father was how he built the mainstream path to the worldwide and cosmic level. Father has already completed that victorious condition. Now he practically, vertically, is making an example for people. In this sense, all worldwide Unification members should understand the New Hope Farm ideal. Every member should participate. From each nation, five participants will go. The worldwide membership should go, train, return to their own country and build the ideal world centering upon their own country. This New Hope Farm is like a historical start, so please remember this. Centering upon this model, Father will build the heavenly kingdom on the earth.

Last, I want you to know that I observed Father’s lifestyle on that farm. You should realize Father’s present age. From now on, all worldwide Unification members and leaders have to follow Father’s lifestyle. Anytime, any place, you have to imagine the heart of True Parents standing on the front line. From now on, we have no excuse. Heartistically, we have to re-educate ourselves, as well as the membership. The whole world membership needs to focus on Father’s South American project. Where Father and Mother stay is our own base of heart. We need to become one with Father’s tradition and lifestyle. We dedicate our lives one hundred percent to follow True Parents’ lifestyle. You will do this, won’t you? [Yes.] After receiving this proclamation content, please don’t keep it for yourselves alone. You need to share it with your membership, educate them and distribute it throughout the entire organization. We should know what True Parents are now thinking and the main dispensation progress. Please be sure to distribute this content to the entire membership and educate them. Thank you very much.

[Applause.] [Father and Reverend Kwak speak back and forth in Korean; Reverend Kwak begins to speak again.]

I missed one declaration: The Family Declaration. Father explained to the international leaders the significance of the upcoming 360,000 Couples’ Blessing. The number 36 is representative of the entire history of mankind and whole existence. When Father blessed 36 couples, it signified three groups of twelve couples. One group was representative of past history, one group was representative of present time and one group was representative of future history. This means that we refer to the first group as Adam’s family couples, the second group as Noah’s family couples, and the third group as Jacob’s family couples. God’s dispensational progress, centered upon Adam’s family, resulted in failure. However, within Noah’s family was a condition of sacrifice, because of Noah’s amazing foundation of faith. Due to Ham’s mistake, the outcome was failure. Centering upon Jacob’s family, God succeeded in building the foundation of faith and substance. This was the first case in history. Adam’s family is representative of the past and failure, Noah’s family is representative of the sacrificial present existence, and Jacob’s family is representative of the successful future. It is related to the whole of mankind. Someone who is already elevated to the spiritual world without Heavenly Father and True Parent’s blessing falls into the category of failure, based on the past. On the earth, many people are sacrificed because of immorality and Satan’s dominion over the earth. Noah’s family representative is equivalent to present, existing mankind. The future, coming newborn generation is under True Parents’ dominion. These are the successful future generations of Blessed children to be born. This is represented by Jacob’s family.

The number 36 is such an important number, representing the entire history of mankind. For the upcoming blessing, Father decided on 360,000 couples, because the number 36 in Father’s mind represents history and the whole of mankind. Through this blessing, Father wants to embrace and offer blessing under the minimum conditions. As you know, the blessing is most precious. The condition to receive the blessing is most important, especially if you are aware of the conditions surrounding the early blessings. Married couples’ blessing condition was usually very difficult, with separation periods of more than seven years. Some couples were separated for more than fourteen years before the blessing, very difficult conditions. However, True Parents’ heart wishes to embrace, if possible, entire mankind and the whole history and restore it in one moment. This kind of grace does not suddenly come about. It comes about due to True Parents’ amazing worldwide victorious condition. Therefore, Satan is never arguing directly to True Parents. Based upon this victorious foundation, Father desires to give the blessing under minimum conditions.

The minimum conditions are: to recognize True Parents, to recognize that all fallen men need to restore their blood lineage, own things (ownership) and restore their heart. These conditions need to be restored by fallen mankind. First, from fallen lineage to heavenly lineage; second, restore ownership from Satan’s ownership to True Parents’ ownership; then our hearts have to be restored under God and True Parents. All blessing candidates should understand these three points. After the blessing, we never divorce or fall. Anyone who can understand and embrace these three conditions can become candidates for the blessing. How easy compared to very early times. Therefore, Father’s heart is waiting to embrace all people one day. In Father’s mind, 360,000 couples is certainly not enough. Why not 3.6 million couples or more? In this sense, all Unification leadership has to understand Father’s heart and do our best until the blessing. Father directed me to emphasize to the worldwide leadership the need to guide the people through hard work and fulfill our responsibility.

Furthermore, Father taught us that after the blessing each continent has its own responsibility. Each continent is responsible for a certain number of candidates for the blessing. All worldwide leadership should clearly understand and educate the membership. We have to reach our goal, especially since Father has proclaimed the 360,000 Couples’ Blessing to the worldwide leadership already. Since this has been proclaimed by Father, as Unificationists we have to accomplish this blessing number. Many countries have gained amazing results already through the spiritual world’s help. Through the blessing, Father wants to share this grace to each religious community. According to Father’s direction, we approached each religious leader requesting them to have their members participate in True Parents’ blessing ceremony. This coming blessing is a very unique, historical event. There will be Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim and many other religious traditions represented.

[Father now begins to speak again.]

In the past, there has been fighting between Protestants and Catholics, and due to this they have come down. However, if they unite together under Father, they will both go up and save the world. Once these two combine into one, there will be no problem saving the world. For this great cause in God’s providence, we will march to South America bringing the entire people of North America along with us. Are you going to do this or not? [YES.] Do you want to go there alone? [No.] As a tribal messiah bring 160 families along with you. If you do so, North and South America will be united instantly. Those who are determined enough to tighten their belts all the way, march and follow behind Father, raise your hands. [Father says, “Wow!”] You really raised both of your hands and I saw it clearly. Don’t hesitate and escape. [APPLAUSE.] Father says we have no time to spare, so we will skip lunch.

This is the written direction, Father has covered most of it. [Father begins to read.]

April 17, 1995, directions at the world leaders’ conference with True Father. Today is Easter Sunday, according to the Unification Church. This is a day of resurrection. How wonderful is this day.

1. God’s ideal of creation and the “safe settlement of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age.” This means the completion of God’s ideal of creation from the family level all the way to the cosmic level. Do you understand? Based upon your family, you have safe settlement. That was the original, God’s, ideal of creation beginning at the family level.

a) The original family lost the foundation of loving the earth, loving the creation, loving man and loving God. As Subject, God did everything, loved the earth, all created things, mankind and God. Man as an object did not fulfill these things. That was the fall. As a family, we should love the earth. Until this point, we didn’t have this kind of concept. Without earth and soil, how can we produce all the things of creation? We have to love the earth and all things. This will be the foundation of loving man. Upon that foundation, we can learn how to love God. This is the base. To love the earth and all things, man and God, where do you think you will have to go? The New Hope Farm. At the New Hope Farm, there are countless kinds of birds, insects and fish. In the early morning, just before dawn, if Father sits quietly, he can hear all kinds of birds singing. It was nature’s song to Father’s ears.

In the autumn, people will sometimes refer to the orchestra of insects, but Father felt he heard the orchestra of birds in South America. Father also found that various kinds of fish create their own orchestra also. There is no fish that cannot sing; no matter how ugly it may look, it still can sing. [Laughter.] Father wondered if the nature of the South American people took after the creation. The fish rest themselves in the shade singing and waste their entire lives. [Laughter.] It is true. We should not resemble the South Americans in terms of their living attitude. As children of God, we have to be different then that. Even when we hear all kinds of singing from nature, instead of taking it for our own advantage we have to understand it as God’s song. All these insects, birds and even fish are singing to praise God. Man took this incorrectly and abused it. Instead of singing and living to praise God, mankind has been stealing everything from Him. They have been cheating and lying. This has to stop.

We must unite the Protestant land of North America, with the Catholic land of South America and prepare the foundation strong enough to praise God and liberate God.

b) Centering upon True Parents, we must unite Cain and Abel. This is how we will establish the land where we can experience the safe settlement of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age, which is the ideal world.

c) We will expand education-focusing upon agriculture, forestry, oceanic studies and technology. By doing so, we can connect the safe settlement of True Parents and Completed Testament Age at the worldwide level. This is the type of education of which we are speaking.

d) We must complete a new nation centered upon God.

2. Traditional spirit comes from the unity between God and man.

We need: a) Absolute faith

b) Absolute love. Through absolute love, subject and object must become one.

c) Absolute obedience from the

individual level to the cosmic level and for eternity.

No matter what you may be, from the moment of birth until you join the spiritual world, all have to follow this formula. By doing so, absolute eternal life will dwell within me. That is how God’s joy and happiness will dwell with me also, from birth to death eternally.

3. Centering upon goodness, eliminating evil and receiving the time of liberation. When Father refers to “goodness,” he is referring to absolute goodness, eliminating Satan and meeting the age of liberation.

a) Transformation of lineage. Without transferring our lineage, there is no way to eliminate Satan from us. Transformation from the false lineage to the true lineage, centering upon True Parents. The fall occurred because of false parents, so now we have to be restored through True Parents. Transformation of ownership needs to take place. Whatever we may possess now does not belong to us, they are all stolen possessions. We have to offer all back to the original owner. At the time of Adam and Eve, they stole these things before their actual marriage. Ideally, we are supposed to return whatever we have back to God before our blessing.

If, right after World War II, those Allied countries had been united with Father, the Lord of the Second Advent, and begun to launch the Kingdom of God on earth, Father could have changed the constitution of the world and returned all possessions back to God.

We must realize that we are eating stolen food and living on stolen goods. Though you may not have stolen yourself, as long as you are using the stolen goods, you are still responsible. You know who is the owner of the stolen goods you are using and yet you don’t return them. Do you understand? [Yes, Father.]

b) Restoration of the realm of heart. Father has been teaching us this for a long time. The individual is the formation stage, husband and wife are the growth level, and the tribal level is the perfection level. In terms of the realm of heart this is one category. When you look at your face, you see three different stages; eyes, nose and mouth. Without having these three stages connected together, there is no place to go.

c) Registration and the fatherland. This means registering in the Kingdom of God. You have to be registered as a citizen of the Kingdom of God, because we don’t have the restored heavenly nation yet. Without having your birth record here in America, you cannot be issued with a passport as an American citizen. So it is, as far as registering in the Kingdom of God. The mission of the tribal messiahs is that you have to restore your Cain 360 families and have them register as heavenly citizens. By doing so, we can build the nation from that point on. The goal is to restore the nation, the fatherland.

d) The Kingdom of God on earth and Kingdom of God in heaven. When we build the nation, based upon one single race we will absorb all other races and build the fatherland. It will become the worldwide level.

e) Unity between mind and body and the unification of religions. There will be no more religions needed, only the True Love of the True Parents. The purpose of creating religions was to suppress bodily desires, so that the body could follow the mind. Your body is like a military base. We have to destroy it and have it obey the mind. Because of Satan’s influence, our bodily desire always tries to subjugate the mind. From now on, not through believing in and practicing certain religious doctrines will you enter the Kingdom of God, but rather through practicing the True Love from True Parents you will be qualified to enter the Kingdom of God. Those who say that through believing in Jesus Christ alone we’ll be able to enter the Kingdom of God are mistaken. There has to be God’s love and the lineage has to be restored back to God. Unless we can usher in the age of the unification of religions, we cannot even think of building the Kingdom of God.

The different stages of the struggle have developed as tribal conflicts, national conflicts and the final stage is religious struggle and racial conflict. We have to go beyond these levels. Do you understand? Through love and peace, we must build the age of unity between God and mankind, the liberation of God and man. Once we are truly centered upon True Love we don’t need national boundaries, racial boundaries, etc. There will only be peace and love remaining. That is where we can find true freedom and happiness.

I wish for you to complete the age of God’s glory in eternity. Amen. [Amen.] We must succeed in the South American project. Do you understand clearly? [Yes.] Father now feels that even if he were to go away from you, since you understand clearly, you should be able to accomplish this mission. Do you think that Father has to remain here in America with you or should he go to South America and supervise everything there? [South America.] If Father doesn’t want to go there, you should chase him out of America and send him to South America. The only reason Father has remained here in America until now is because we have been stubborn enough not to give up our possessions and North America is not ready to restore South America. Once America is ready; that is, Unificationists in America are fully equipped and ready, spiritually and physically to work with Father, there is no need for Father to remain in America. If we do that, then North and South America will become one with no boundary. Do you understand? [Yes.]

Even if you may feel a little bit skeptical about all that Father has explained, you just follow Father and see what will happen. Even more so, you have to push Father to go with this project to stand in the front line. Do you understand? [Yes.] American people in Cain position and Unificationists in Abel position need to combine into one. From a conditional viewpoint, this will all make completion. That is all. Do you understand clearly? [Yes.] Those who make pledge again, even though you may feel hungry, you have to shout like a person who is not hungry. Stand up. Shout out loud, “Let’s go to South America!” [LET’S GO TO SOUTH AMERICA!] MANSEI! [MANSEI!] MANSEI! [MANSEI! MANSEI!] GOD BLESS YOU. [GOD BLESS YOU, FATHER. APPLAUSE.]

REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

April 11, 1995
East Garden
Translator — Sang Kil Han

[Report given here by Mr. Yoon]

The important point of Father’s recent visit to Brazil concerned a speech Father gave on March 30, 1995 at Sao Paulo’s Headquarters. There Father made the Sao Paulo Proclamation in which he said, that upon the inheritance of True Parents victorious realm the second forty year period is now beginning with the True Children as the center. This began from the 36th True Parents Day. This historical new era has begun and from now on we should absolutely obey True Parents. We should return to being a pure white blank sheet of paper and follow True Parents absolutely. If we truly try our best in this endeavor then the forty year period can be shortened. It all depends upon how we try. Blessed couples with families have the responsibility to educate their children and live up to the content of Family Pledge. Blessed parents should inherit True Parents heavenly tradition in order to educate their children.

North America represents Protestantism, whereas South America represents Catholicism. These two should become united into one. North America should support South America because the new second forty year providence has begun in South America. All providential activities will center upon South America. Based upon the unity between Protestantism and Catholicism represented by North and South America, this unity should extend to Europe. Protestantism representing Abel and Catholicism representing Cain they should become united. This unified Christianity should also unite with Judaism and that unity also extend to the unity between Christianity and Muslims. The unified Western hemisphere religions should also unite with the Eastern hemisphere religions. This kind of religious unification will become the base and foundation for world unity.

Another important speech which Father gave at New Hope Farm on April 3, 1995 was entitled, The New Hope Farm Proclamation. In this Father spoke of the restoration of lineage and rightful position, and that we should have absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience and absolutely cut off Satan from ourselves. We can then actualize all that Father spoke of in the Sao Paulo Proclamation. Korea as the providential country and Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay, these four countries that Father is now focusing on are on the opposite side of the earth to one another. From Korea to South America a kind of spiritual axis is being created. In a sense Father is trying to create, centering upon the four nations in South America, the restored ideal model nation.

During this speech Father spoke about Noah’s course. During the course of 120 years Noah had to build the ark on the top of the mountain. We probably may have difficulty in understanding the personal difficulties and persecution he had to undergo at the time. To spend 120 years building an ark on the top of a mountain would surely indicate that he was crazy. He could have received all kinds of persecution directly from his immediate family. When Heavenly Father ordered Noah to undertake this task, and observed all the persecution Noah received on account of this, what kind of heart would Heavenly Father have at that time? We should understand this situation and from this lesson do our best in this forty year new providence in South America. We should most definitely create a more even distribution of wealth, not only within our membership, but worldwide. There needs to be a more equal and fare standard of living for all. There is presently too great of difference in the distribution of wealth, especially in South America. There is no middle class represented in South America. There are the wealthy and the very poor.

As tribal messiah candidates we should be able to solve the hunger problem of the world. Father has so often told us that there are over twenty million people dying of starvation each year. This new providence of Father’s can be compared to the second exodus. We should be able to participate and fulfill our responsibility and create an ideal model nation in South America. Father also spoke about creating and writing the constitution of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Blessed families should live by the strictest standard which Father has taught us. Only the families who strictly observe True Parents tradition have the right to participate in the seven holy days that we have. Father emphasized this. Father also said that those who observe the tradition of Family Pledge every Sunday morning without failure, and those who have kept purity within their families and maintained an exemplary standard throughout three generations, are the ones who can participate in the holy day celebrations. Father also instructed the Korean missionaries in South America to teach Korean to the members and Father’s tradition.

We had a very good time there in spite of a very crowded and inconvenient situation. However, everybody felt within a few days that they could overcome the difficult feelings of living in a primitive situation and could feel a great deal of blessing and inspiration. From 5 a.m. until 12 midnight, sometimes later, Father really shared with us and guided us and then we had farm work and fishing and then late at night there would be further guidance. Through this intense schedule, everybody who was there really felt much inspiration and blessing in spite of the hot weather and inconvenience. I am sure that all of you will have the possibility to go there some day. It is a very nice place even though it is a little hot and there are mosquitoes that bother one. There is very good fishing down there. I have felt very grateful to True Parents that I was able to accompany them there and to serve them. It was a real privilege to be with Father closely and to serve him. I wish for each of you that experience. Father’s spirit is always intense. He doesn’t relax. Sometimes I would wonder why Father cannot relax. I would think to myself, this is only fishing he can take it easy. But he never does so. This really shows Father’s spirit of desiring to accomplish the most. He never wastes a moment. This is what he is trying to show to us. He is always persistent and tries harder than anyone else to catch fish. That alone served as a great lesson for me. Father’s example of spirit to pursue the goal that you set. No matter what it takes to accomplish this goal. This is what Father is trying to teach us through the fishing activities.

One fish has many many eggs and each egg can become one fish. In the course of nature many of them are in fact eaten by other fish, but if controlled the source of food could be unlimited. This is what Father has said to us many times. We can create fish powder. Whatever Father does, even in pursuits that could be relaxing, he is always thinking about mankind and the world restoration. I am sure that everyone who participated in the New Hope Farm activities felt the same thing. For this we are truly grateful to True Parents and the lessons learned. I hope that everyone of you will soon have the opportunity to go there and experience these things first hand for yourselves.

Thank you very much. [Applause.] [HERE FATHER BEGINS TO SPEAK]

Dispensational history, as we all know, is the history of uniting Cain and Abel through the mother. In one word, humankind did not have a father. The fate of the Fall meant that mankind did not have a True Father to begin its history. Instead it had Satan as its center. Since we did not have Father, consequently we did not have real mother. Therefore we do not have True Mother, nor legitimate children. Looking back at human history it was as if God had lost the entire head part and therefore had to grasp hold of the tail of human history and try to restore everything backwards to the point of restoration of Parents.

Historical restoration went backwards and so Cain was the older brother and Abel the younger brother. However, in God’s eyes the younger brother is in the position of the elder brother, as he is closer to God. For example, a daughter would become mother, and whoever might be mother would become a daughter. This is how God has been working out the restoration. We can explain the history of humankind in one word, one sentence: the struggle between Cain and Abel. Ever since the human history began with the Fall this path has been repeated until the coming of the messiah.

If you look back at human history you will observe that Satan had an individual, family, a country and his own world. Most importantly he possessed many nations, whereas God had nothing. Satan has been wielding his power to interfere with God’s plan to introduce His own individual, God’s own family, and God’s own nation. Satan has consistently interfered with and sabotaged God’s work. We can observe human history up until now in this way. Therefore no one is entitled to marry because it is illegitimate. Therefore, on God’s side no individual was able to have a family. Therefore the family was non-existent as far as God was concerned.

When Jesus came as the messiah 2,000 years ago he won over the national level, Satan’s national level was won over by Jesus. Standing upon that base Jesus was supposed to begin his family for the first time in human history. Until that time, no man had ever had any family in God’s sight. The purpose of this is so that it will later link with the existing fallen families, nations and bring them to God through salvation. Without Jesus accomplishing this there was no condition for God to reach out to fallen families and nations of the world. At that time the world should have cooperated with Jesus and prepared to receive Mother. Judaism in the position of Abel and the nation of Israel in the position of Cain, should have worked in unity to receive Mother. At the time of Jesus we can see that the woman named Anna was preparing to receive Mother. No one knew clearly at that time what was going on. Now we can only say what should have been 2,000 years ago when Jesus came. Jesus struggled and struggled and no one ever dreamed of the dispensation. However, very simply, Judaism and Israel in the position of Cain and Abel should have joined together in order to support Jesus to receive Mother.

The positions of Cain and Abel were represented horizontally through Judaism and Israel, and in a vertical way through Zechariah’s family and Joseph’s family. Therefore the unity of Judaism and Israel and Zechariah’s family and Joseph’s family would have supported Jesus. For a king to reign he needs a queen. True Mother coming in the position of the queen would have enabled Jesus, as True Father, to reign. Once this clear axis was established then no nation would ever have come against God’s new foundation. In other words, this family and nation centered upon Jesus, which Father has just described to us, would have been so well founded from Heaven to earth that no power could have damaged it. It would have meant that the Satanic nations no longer had a center.

Jesus was not understood by any of the horizontal elements of religion and nation, neither did he have the vertical understanding of his own kin. Not one member of either Zechariah’s family or Joseph’s family understood him. Jesus found himself all alone with absolutely no support or foundation. What is the key point of the failure of Jesus’s mission? It was that Jesus was not able to form and keep the foundation of Parents. He was to be in the position of True Father but he was unable to realize this. Therefore, since he had no family he was without the kingship of a nation.

Therefore, instead of having the center of a good family, good parents and good nation, they fell back to bad family, bad kingship and Satan’s world. At Jesus’ time there was the possibility of restoring the good Parentship, good family, good eldership and good kingship. None of this was established at that time. The kingship should have occurred first and without it the real family would never have been able to stand. This eldership refers to elder brother. Jesus stood in the position of elder brother to all mankind existing up until his advent. Jesus was expected by God to restore eldership and Parentship and then kingship over the nation. Then the restored world which God intended would have come into being.

When Jesus was crucified he lost all of these elements. That means that God lost everything. Had Jesus received the support of the religion and nation, then he would have elevated himself to the position of parent. Then the nation would have been formed and all the existing fallen world would have connected with this foundation. In other words they would have been restored back to God. If this core would have been established, it would not have mattered how strong the fallen surrounding foundation was, it would have merely been a matter of time. The strong thrust of God’s power would have restored all the nations of the world and brought them under God’s dominion. The spiritual world would have poured down in support of the realization of this foundation at that time.

It is the same pattern as the good archangel helping and assisting mankind in the Garden of Eden. The good spirits are in the position of the good archangel. What we sadly realize is that everything was lost 2,000 years ago because of opposition of the satanic world. After Jesus was crucified it took him forty days to reorganize what had been lost and scattered. He gathered his disciples after forty days, and began a new spiritual movement centering upon the Mother spirit, or Holy Spirit in the upper room. Jesus had to begin a new spiritual foundation here on earth which was to have taken place in the physical form originally. However, due to the crucifixion it took place only in the spiritual form. This is how Christianity was born.

Originally Jesus was to have created this foundation with a physical body together with a physical Mother. But as he lost everything, he had to create a spiritual foundation with his spiritual body and the Holy Spirit as the spiritual mother. He tried to reindemnify everything that he failed to do physically in this spiritual manner. Therefore, without being born again through Jesus and the Holy Spirit we cannot be saved. Spiritually it is an extremely difficult task to bring forth Mother because this can only come about through the extreme upper spiritual world and extreme lower earth working together. This is not an easy task to accomplish. Jesus had to bring this about but, as we know, it was a very slow process to establish the foundation of Christianity.

We see the efficiency of Jesus’ workings. In order to believe in Jesus at that time, you must have had an absolutely strong faith and love towards Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Without that no power could come through an individual to make a difference. How difficult it is. Therefore all the early Christians had to demonstrate strong faith, strong love and strong obedience and upon that base were able to connect to Jesus. Without that there was no way to connect to Jesus. Why does it have to be this way? Because this is what was lost. God lost mankind’s absolute obedience, absolute love and absolute faith in Him. Adam and Eve lost all of these elements and Jesus had to restore them in order for mankind to be reborn through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Today all the Christians who are trying to reconnect to Jesus have to demonstrate absolutely strong faith and love and absolute obedience towards God and Jesus. They have to cry out and act like insane people then only with that power are you able to reconnect with Jesus. The connection with Jesus was that difficult. John the Baptist was in the Cain position to Jesus in the position of Abel. Had he firmly connected himself to Jesus then automatically all other followers would have automatically have been connected to Jesus. That is all that John the Baptist had to do. He was representing the Cain world.

We have understood why we need rebirth through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, but we truly need physical rebirth. Two thousand years have elapsed since the time of Jesus and the providence goes on. Now, in this age this spiritual foundation of Christianity has been deployed horizontally through the forming of the nations of America, England and France. These nations represent the spiritual foundation of the workings of Christianity. Jesus together with the Holy Spirit would have occupied the true realm of this world. In order to legitimize by condition Jesus’ realm, there appeared in opposition the satanic nations of Japan, Germany and Italy working directly against the allied power in World War II. These three allied nations in the war of Armageddon, attained victory and therefore they were ready to receive Father as the Second Coming. As soon as their victory was realized they were supposed to place their strong faith in the one whom history had been awaiting, namely the messiah. They should have demonstrated absolute faith, love and obedience towards the Lord of the Second Coming at that time.

Adam and Eve were supposed to have demonstrated absolute faith, love and obedience to God but they did not. Because they failed in this the Fall occurred and the misery of human history was a consequence. God tried to restore this failure during Jesus’ time. He tried again at the end of World War II and now again during these last days. Absolute faith, love and obedience have to be restored by mankind at this time in history. Do you understand? (Yes.) During Jesus’ time they were trying to restore these elements on the national base. Now we are standing on the world wide base. In this age there is no room for nationalistic sentiments. Absolute obedience, love and faith are what are needed now. There is no separation between human beings. God does not recognize race and nationality amongst His children. It is a total salvation which God intends. A salvation that will not exclude even one human being; everyone will be saved. In order to accomplish this the nation must demonstrate non-discriminatory love towards all nations of the world. This is what we should do now. By doing so and demonstrating absolute obedience to True Parents, God intends to bring about total salvation of the world. This is the broad picture of God’s intention.

God’s intention of having Adam and Eve demonstrate absolute faith, love and obedience was to establish the ideal formula for the Kingdom of Heaven. Until now nobody has established the perfect family base, national base and world base. At the time of Jesus the national base was to connect to this perfection base and create the world base of the Kingdom of Heaven. Until now Adam’s family base has been lost, and Jesus’ family base has been lost. That means the Kingdom of Heaven is vacant. This is not God’s intention. This time is the completion of the third Adam at the world wide base. Satan’s world comes against this world base of God. This occurred at the time of World War II. Japan represented the Eve nation on Satan’s side. England represented the Eve nation on God’s side. Both were island nations. Germany represented Abel on Satan’s side. This was the most fearful position. Italy represented the Archangel nation on Satan’s side. The archangel’s position is always changeable. These three nations on the satanic side combined as a force against God’s side.

After the victory of the allied nations, centered on God, this victorious world base was to connect to the messiah. These nations had to demonstrate absolute faith, love and obedience. These elements were lost at the time of Adam at the family level. At the time of Jesus they were lost at the national level. At the time of the Lord of the Second Coming they were to restore these two and connect to the world wide base. Then horizontally upon that foundation the victorious family, nation and world could have come about. Then automatically the Kingdom of Heaven would have come upon the earth. Do you follow me?

However, the reality was that the allied countries did not follow the Lord of the Second Advent. Father did not own anything at that time and to the eyes of America, England and France, Father, born in Korea, appeared to be a very shabby person. Could they bow down to Father and declare him the sole victorious person in the whole of history? Could they recognize Father at that time? They could not even imagine him to be the Father of all mankind, including America, France and England. Back in 1945 God expected them to accept Father in the position of Parent. Father appeared to be a shabby individual externally, but his quality was totally different. He was the winner of the historical victory. He was the one who has completely restored elder sonship; he was the one who restored all the failures of the nation and was himself the king of the restoration. He was an accomplished individual at that time. The allied nations who won the Second World War had the purpose to revere him, but they did not.

The Christian world was looking towards heaven for the messiah to come, just as the Israelites 2,000 years ago were waiting for Elijah to come from the clouds. But in actual fact John the Baptist came in a physical body representing Elijah. He had to come with a physical body because this is how the creation was made. However, John the Baptist denied that he was Elijah. Therefore the people of that time could not accept Jesus as the messiah because they did not see Elijah. Likewise, in 1945, they expected the messiah to come on the clouds and they could not accept Father as a man.

World War II was a very critical war and it was won by God’s side. The satanic domain was shattered into pieces. All they needed to do was to reconnect with the heavenly person of the messiah and be firmly connected back to God and the whole world would have come into natural restoration. This is the secret for mankind today to know. Failure to recognize this is truly the arch crime of mankind. How can we miss this point that inheritance is passing in one direction. This was God’s intent. How unrighteous can we be not to go along with God’s intention. It’s a bad situation that Father faces together with God. You have to learn Korean in order to hear directly from Father. Father realizes that the translation consistently misses the most important points. We understand generally what Father is saying, but not specifically.

England was the mother country that gave birth to America which is in the position of son. France was in the archangel position. America stands upon the foundation of the victory of World War II. America also won the war of independence from England and established the idea of the nation of America. The victorious nations were England, America and France. They had been attacked by the satanic nations of Japan, Germany and Italy. At the time of the allied nations victory, the world independently belonged to God no longer to Satan. Upon that foundation the messiah was to connect with these nations and so restore what was lost in Adam’s family and at Jesus’ time on the national level. Now all could be restored at the world wide level. Then the perfection of the family base, national base and world base could have occurred. Then God could have connected the entire world and the Kingdom of Heaven could have appeared on the earth at that time. This was the perfection level.

In 1945 all that England, America and France had to do was to understand this and have the attitude in their mind towards this direction. Believing in what Father said, loving him and obeying him. Upon this basis of absolute faith, love and obedience then the world would have been restored at that time. God’s ideal would have been accomplished in approximately seven years and Father could have proclaimed a cosmic constitution. However, history witnessed the world chasing him out into the wilderness. Had things gone as God desired, everything would have come into the right direction. Everything was prepared to receive True Parents on the world wide level. The establishment of the Unification Church would never have been necessary. Between 1945 and 1952 the whole world history would have been consummated. Because it failed to come about, Father has had to do so many things that would not have been necessary had the allied nations followed him. Christianity was in the position of the bride religion but they chased their bridegroom out.

At the time of the Fall only one Adam was chased out of the Garden of Eden. In 1945, Christianity, through disobeying True Father, caused the whole of Christianity to be chased out of the Garden of Eden. The bride chased the bridegroom out then who came and occupied that bride? Satan occupied that bride. Today we see proof of this through the sexual confusion and promiscuity that rages. This is Satan’s way of degradation of the Christian world.

North and South America will come into natural unification. Father hopes and wishes that this day will come very quickly and that America will realize its wrong doing. Realize, and ask for forgiveness. Father is wishing for the day when North and South America unifies and North and South Korea unifies. In the next six years we should complete all these before we return to Korea. Before Father does that he will go to Africa and create an environment where Africans can live. That is Father’s schedule. Be prepared and think seriously for the great movement of races. We won’t stay here forevermore. Now is the time for mass exodus, mass movement from one place to another to build the Kingdom of Heaven. We have to truly liberate all satanic affiliation and create a true people centered upon God and True Parents. Do you understand? This is not only for the sake of South America but for Africa also. Africa as a poor country has been exploited and misused. Father, with True Love, wants to embrace them. Father has spoken of the forty years of reindemnification and now Father is about to establish the New Hope Farm where he wishes to establish a completely new tradition of love of all things, love of mankind and love of God.

Ever since the failure of Adam’s family God has been longing for the ideal family. Today we hear the concept of the global village, but we must work for the world family. We must be more advanced than Satan’s world. Let us build the family which God lost through Adam and Eve’s failure. The Family Pledge has been itemized into seven parts by Father. All of the seeds of the restoration of human history are listed there one by one. As you can see the consistent theme throughout is centered upon True Love. The core family is like the bone and the world around us is like the flesh. Both connected with one man to come to perfection. Do you understand? The world family, like a world village, is our object world. The world village as pursued by the world at large has no absolute concept. Satan’s world does not have the concept of absolute love, absolute faith and absolute obedience. Only God has this kind of concept. Is this clear? (Yes.) Really? (Yes.)

Father trusts that you understand now clearly regarding this point. Sometimes Father is amazed even at himself. How is he able to be so consistent throughout this forty years? May 1 of last year, Father bequeathed this forty years to the second generation. It can be shortened of course. On May 1 of this year Father declared that this would begin. With shedding our sweat, blood and tears we need to invest to provide food for humanity; then no religion will be necessary any longer. We will become religion-free. We will have accomplished the object of religion through our absolute faith, abolute love and absolute obedience. That is, in and of itself, the only religion you will ever need. You need to make sure that your mind is subject over your body. Until the present time the body has always worked against the spirit of mankind. This was also reflected by the political world persecuting the religious world throughout history. Now, centering upon your vertical mind, God’s absolute pillar, we live lives of absolute love, absolute faith and absolute obedience. And our bodies must follow this. Without this we can never connect with God’s world. Is this clear? (Yes.)

[Father asks one congregant:] How do you feel having listened to Father? (He answers: “I think that it is an exciting goal. However, I think that it will take a lot more than the people in this room. Although I am personally excited about Father’s goal.”) Excitement doesn’t belong to you. You have to give it to the other side, then unify. You have to create “my concept.” Not take the opposite view. Do you understand? Not “Father’s concept.” Not “Unification Church concept.” Rather “My concept.” Otherwise we cannot go through the human way. Do you understand? No explanation or excuse at this time. We simply have to accomplish it. We have to be ready to take the lowly way, the farmer’s way, laborer’s way, factory worker’s way, not the easy way. We have heard it said that for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven is as difficult as a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Father feels, here is a Unification Church leader comfortable in a chair, how can I make him go through the transition of giving up everything and doing farming. If someone is on top, someone has to help him go down. Otherwise, the only way he can go down is to stumble down and he doesn’t want you to do that, because you will die.

Father doesn’t want you to die; he wants you to live. But do you imagine that he asks you to take this difficult path because he hates you so much? On the contrary. This year’s motto is to inherit Father’s foundation. Without accomplishing this we cannot inherit Father’s foundation. You may not particularly care to toil as a farmer and laborer, but still if you do this at least you will understand True Father’s tradition and sympathize with him. At least that will help you go to Heaven. Father is looking for that kind of individual in a nation, one who can receive that love concept. Those people who do heavy work will live in the Kingdom of Heaven. When Father leaves North America and goes to South America, should Father concentrate on helping North America or South America? (South America.) Should there be two roots or one root? (One root.) However, you want to have two roots. In your hearts you are pulling Father to help North America as well as South America. However, Father is leaving and that means he must concentrate upon South America. Father worked so hard to support the Washington Times. In Father’s absence, should you North American members give up the Washington Times or should we support it? (Support it.) Father is not asking for your opinion, rather he is asking who amongst you is determined to support the Washington Times. Would you support it or would you not? Those who are ready to do so, not just as an opinion, but who is determined to support it, please raise your hands. Only one person didn’t raise his hand and that was Father. (Laughter.)

As long as Parents are living this life the children must automatically follow. It is time now for us to reflect upon our lives until this point and be ready to embark upon a brand new era together with Father.

[Father calls upon Col. Han to pray.]

REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

March 5, 1995
Belvedere – International Training Center
Translator — Il Hyon Kim

Father writes the title on the board: Chamjaah Wansung Gwa Kajung Anchak – Perfection of the True Self and Safe Settlement of the Family.

Did many Unification Theological Seminary students come here? [ Yes.] How many? [Many raise their hands.] Mr. Pak, the continental director, do you not gather anymore these days? You have to hold service gatherings in an earnest manner. As the last days gets nearer you must gather more often and with more devotion to worship service. Jim, the president, do you pay enough attention to Sunday Service? [Pardon me, Father.]

Listen carefully. You know very well that I have been working hard over the past months to bind together in sisterhood relationships the Japanese women and Korean women, and the American women and Japanese women. The things I do are quite different from the events that religious workers in general perform. You must know the fact that I go forth in step with the providential program.

Continual Growth Through Eight Stages

What is the providential program? Do you know? Until now, no one has known the providential program. You must know the fact that what the Unification Church is doing is not just something temporary that will pass away. Rather, we are establishing a standard by which history can be measured for eternity.

We all have to go through the eight stages of perfection: individual perfection, family perfection, tribal perfection, racial perfection, national perfection, worldwide perfection, cosmic perfection and Godly perfection. Since we all have to make such progress, we must not get comfortably fixed, adhering to old customs. This may be likened to a tree. A tree must grow.

Living things do not stand still for a moment. When you first joined the Unification Church, you were touched by the Word and shocked by the new revelation, and thus you renewed your mind and changed the direction of your life. Now it is twenty years later, and there has to be a difference accomplished over that span of time, but I question about how big a change you have brought about.

You may have rejoiced individually when you joined, and looked to your own resurrection. But you must know as a fact that you are to achieve the resurrection of eight stages going through family, tribe, race, nation, world, cosmos and God, down and up. Therefore, inside your heart there must be the self-perfected individual, family, nation, world, heaven and earth, and God.

That being the case, can God enter your hearts and stay there? As long as your families, the husband, wife, and children cannot enter there, God cannot enter your hearts and stay there. Think about it. Can God, who guides and governs the world, who created the entire universe, and who is eternal and able to pull the whole universe, enter into you? That is the question.

Established habits, manners and customs of these Americans have absolutely nothing to do with God’s dispensation. Traditions centered on any nation and all the foundations based upon familiar old ways of thinking that Koreans, Japanese and any people of the world have today have absolutely nothing to do with God’s dispensation.

You may come to Sunday Service here, not skipping any Sunday, as a habit, thinking that next year will be the same as this year. But it is not so. To a growing tree, this year is different from last year, and next year will be different from this year. There has to be a difference between last year and this year. Living things must grow.

Is this line going up or down? (Pointing at the bottom of a diagonal.) This is hell. You must know very well that you can have a connection with me only when you reach Heaven. Only when you enter into the realm of perfection, the realm of direct dominion, that is Heaven, can you establish a connection. Unless you penetrate into the realm of perfection, all your endeavors will be of no avail. The one who risks his life to reach there will live, as the Bible says.

All of you here, are you confident in your chances of living? Who is confident? Raise your hand. There is no one. The thing that becomes an issue when you go over the hill of death is your proof, that is, what kind of a being are you as you pass over.

That being the case, what are you going to do, if you get stopped and cannot go over forever? Just knowing me will not help you at all. This is the formula. Even if you are a king, or even if you are the man who created that formula, if you do not practice it, then you will fail.

Judgment by the Word

When you go to the spirit world, you will see all that I have said to you like a clear glass. You must know that. What I say to you here at Belvedere is not the same Word everytime. What I promulgate here is for the sake of Heaven and earth. If you reject the Word here on earth, then the spirit world will remember having seen all of your actions, and you will be judged against that when you go to the spirit world. Everybody, including the leaders here, will be subjected to that judgment.

Jim, you have been the president for the past six years. How much progress have you achieved for the sake of America and for the sake of American members, and how many new members have you gathered throughout the United States? America is a huge country. How do you develop throughout this huge country, except through members? How many new members do you increase per day, per month, and per year? That is the question.

You don’t care whether America meets with destruction or not. Even though whatever I say for the good of America is also for the sake of the whole world, you are just letting America go to the dogs, sitting around. You must realize the fact. I will not be here forever. I am seventy-six years old by Korean counting. I have already worked here for more than twenty years.

You have listened to me for over twenty years, as representatives of the world. Therefore, despite the fact that you must try to make the Word take root as something which can benefit the world, and that America must become the country that can move the world, you have actually incurred a debt.

You only wish to live in comfort. This is not the Kingdom of Heaven but hell. If you seek to live in comfort here, you must know that you will fall into a deeper hell. So now, which way are you headed? For the Kingdom of Heaven or hell? This is not playing games. You are in a different school. You are enrolled in an everlasting program. I am moving forward, adding one step at a time everyday, and that is my life.

If you don’t have momentum, you go down. That means death. You don’t need an explanation for that, you know it very well already. Then, since I have sown the Word here for a few decades, where am I going to harvest fruits of that Word?

Jesus and the Fig Tree

You must know that the more diligently you work the quicker you will restore America, instead of seeing it meet with destruction. I have worked hard for the sake of America because it represents the world as the awakening power. But you only represent yourselves, you do not work to represent the world. Then this country will not escape from its fall.

If this is all who gather when I am here at Belvedere, then how many gather when I am not around? Do you expect the spirit world to protect and love America when it is like this? Do you think the spirit world will leave those people who gathered here alone without calling them to account? They will have to be punished. It will be the opposite of your expectations. You will face a curse. You know that as Jesus was on his way back to Jerusalem, he was hungry, and seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it. But he found nothing on it except leaves, and Jesus cursed it not to bear fruit again. Immediately the tree withered.

What is the fruit? The Unification Church does not exist for the good of your own selves. It exists for the sake of the whole world, and you must get that into your heads, you lowly brood!

You utter things like, “Oh, we have to liberate God”, and so forth. You liberate God? What do you think I am doing? Everything I do is for the purpose of liberating God. What does “being fallen” mean?

We all talk about Godism and Headwing Thought in our church. What is Godism? Since eui of chu eui (Chinese for “ism”) stands for a sheep placed above the “I,” and the sheep symbolizes the sacrificial offering, eui means “sacrificing myself”. Chu of chu eui indicates the top of the king, which means God. So, is it easy to reach the position of a king? Can you reach there with ease? To reach there you must go over numerous stages, the eight stages of individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, cosmos, and God. You cannot reach there by aggrandizing yourselves.

America has become the kingdom of individualism, and its people are individualists. You must realize that America has become the kingdom of Satan. Think of it. Privacy? What the hell do you mean by asking for privacy for fallen junkies?

Privacy means that Satan wants to protect himself. By asking for privacy, Satan wants to safeguard the satanic world. America belongs to the satanic realm, not God’s realm. Satan wants to prolong the history of the satanic world. But it is over, it is all over for him. Do you understand that?

What is Godism? It means the way to go forth having God at the center and tuning into Him. It is not the case that God is tuning into you. You must tune into Him. Why is that? Because you are fallen. You have lost your hometown. Being fallen is like having lost one’s hometown.

The Four Points of Godism

Without having unification between mind and body and between families, you cannot reach the level of a united race, nation, and world. Also, you cannot run the whole distance of liberation of the universe by sitting around only listening to the Word, even if for ten thousand years. You need action.

Speaking of Godism; it is first absolute love-ism; second, it is absolute eternal life-ism; third, it is absolute lineage-ism; and fourth, it is absolute conscience-ism. When we say Godism, we mean these four points. Godism is what God originally wished to pursue, to realize. Only after the age of “ism” is passed will the safe settlement take place.

What is the meaning of “ism”? It means “direction”. When we say things like nationalism, Communism, atheism, and theism, we are referring to direction. For the perfection of the true self, we must attain all the above.

Next, Headwing Thought. What does it mean? It simply means “true parentism”. The term came about after the fall. In the original world we do not need this terminology. What is true parentism? It includes individual true parentism, family true parentism, tribal true parentism, racial parentism, national parentism, worldwide parentism, cosmic parentism, and Godly parentism, the whole eight stages.

Only after going through all those stages will the safe settlement take place. All these terminologies are not just passing words. They all are linked with and presently affecting you.

Because God could not materialize all these, that is, God could not attain absolute love-ism, absolute eternal life-ism, absolute lineage-ism, and absolute conscience-ism due to man’s fall, God wants to go back through true parentism to achieve His ideal.

For the safe settlement of the family you need the perfection of the true self and the perfection of the family. But you have not reached there yet. The family settles safely on the basis of individual perfection. Have your families reached such a position? If not, all of you will end up in hell. I cannot pay indemnity for you. Do you want a Ph.D.? Then you have to go through the Ph.D. course and earn it. You have to obtain the graduation certificate yourselves. That is not Father’s mission. It is your mission.

Father’s job is to show you how to reach the perfection level. Throughout all my life I have worked to go over all the different levels, and finally I declared True Parents and the Safe Settlement of the Completed Testament Age. All the steps I have taken have been upward, not downward.

What about your families? Are they going upward or downward? Or have you stopped somewhere in-between? You stopped somewhere! Below this level belongs to all creation.

Now, do you care for your country? Your tribe? All humanity? No! You only care for yourselves. You must admit that. Is it clear?

The Door of True Parents

Our desire is learn how to go up to the level of safe settlement. Only when we reach there can we liberate God from His burden. Otherwise, it is impossible. This is the problem awaiting solution by fallen humanity.

What is Godism? Godism is inclusive of absolute love-ism, absolute eternal life-ism, absolute conscience-ism, and absolute lineage-ism. This means not leaving behind a trace of the fallen lineage for tens of thousands of years. How the hell could you ever have gotten into free sex acts, you fornicators!

How many Adam’s and Eve’s did God create? One Adam and one Eve, one absolute man and one absolute woman. Had they united with God they would have produced an ideal absolute family. But because they did not, they could not produce an ideal family. There were not True Parents after the fall, and that is why the struggle between Cain and Abel, the confusion, took place. That is why we need True Parents, absolutely.

What is the purpose of True Parents? Their purpose is to introduce and to restore absolute love-ism, absolute eternal life-ism, absolute lineage-ism, and absolute conscience-ism. To go into the Kingdom of Heaven you must go through the door of True Parents. So, have you become True Parents? Have you attained absolute love-ism? Humankind lost True Love. You aren’t even aware that you lost True Love. Have you obtained eternal life? Without absolute love you cannot have eternal life.

God created man as His love partner. To love, you need a object. When there is a reciprocating relationship through absolute love between the subject and the object there will be absolute eternal life. Now you don’t have eternal life. Do you have eternal life? Your mind and body fight against each other, don’t they? You have only theoretical knowledge of these things, and do nothing in practice.

People might have some kind of concept about what one does when one goes through the university, the graduate school, and Ph.D. course, but if one doesn’t have the contents, that is, the one, two, one hundred or even hundreds of actual written results of the work one does, what is the use of imagining about it?

So now, do you understand the meaning of Godism? [Yes.] Repeat after me. Choldae Sahrang chu eui, Choldae Saengmyong chu eui, Choldae Hyoltong chu eui, and Choldae Yangshim chu eui. The conscience of fallen people is zig zag, while originally it is supposed to be straight. Once you come into the Unification Church your conscience must be straight. I have taught you what and how the individual, the family and so on, all should be. The whole escalating eight stages; individual, family, tribe, race, nation, world, cosmos, and God, have to be connected.

What is the difference between “ism” and “thought”? “Ism” indicates the direction, and “thought” indicates the method, the means. Thought explains how and what the individual, the family and so on are to do. All nations have their own respective national thought, like American national thought, Japanese national thought and so on. By the same token, Unification Thought and the Headwing Thought are the thought that explains how to unite centered on True Parents. What are “True Parents”? You all must become True Parents. That being the case, do you want to become a tribal messiah or a racial messiah or a national messiah? To be the national messiah you become the president of that country.

“Safe Settlement” is awe inspiring

You take whatever you achieve here on earth with you to the Kingdom of Heaven. There are many individual True Parents, and the best of them will go up to the level of the tribal True Parents throughout the world. Which level do you expect to reach when you go to the spirit world? Unless you have become a true parent and true family you cannot go into the Kingdom of Heaven. Absolutely not.

The family is the basic unit required to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. That is, when the Heavenly kingdom is organized, families become the basic units that fit the formula. A formulated configuration takes place, which can serve as a bridge between families and other units.

Therefore, unless you, the members of the Unification Church, realize the perfection of your family, you cannot go into the Kingdom of Heaven. That is the path that the True Parents walk, which is true parentism.

So, I ask you, Jim. Have you established yourself on the basis of true parentism? Has your family been united having you at the center? Have you and your family been of one accord with Godism? Since you are the representative of America, you must shed tears and blood by having become the sacrifice for all American families. A sacrificial offering does not have its own idea. You should discard notions such as, “Since I am an American . . .”, “Since I am a man …” and, “Since I am so and so . . .” If you think about your own family before you think about the world, you will fall into the meshes of punishment. If a sacrifice has its own ideas, it will get its head crushed. As the national leader, you must always think about the national cause. I always think about Heaven and earth first, before I even give a thought to my family, my sons and daughters, and my country. I never did the other way around. Only after we save the world, and only after we destroy the satanic world, can we think about our own families.

Terms such as “Safe Settlement”, “True Parents”, and “Completed Testament Age”, all have awe inspiring meaning. It is even fearsome when you think about their meaning. Think about it! “Safe Settlement of True Parents and the Completed Testament!” It was impossible even to imagine that it could happen. But it is reality. It means that the family won the fight in the satanic world. It means that the war has been won on the levels of tribe, nation, world, Heaven and earth, that the promises have been fulfilled and the age of the Completed Testament has safely settled. Satan no longer can make connections with me, saying that I am still a descendant of the fallen man.

Three Levels of Heart

What is the Fall? It is the reversal of Adam’s having dominion over the archangel. Do you ever think about how difficult it is to subjugate all the satans in spirit world and on the earth and advance forward? And what is more, to be safely settled after that? That means, if you unite with me completely, having faith, you will then be able to do whatever I do wherever you go. It is not just empty talk. You wait and see. The satanic world will constantly meet with destruction.

The secular world has lost all relative centers and directions for the family, the tribe, the peoples, the nation, and the world to take. But the Unification Church is equipping itself with everything. It is a reversal of positions. The Unification Church was under the control of Satan, but now the situation is opposite.

The safe settlement of the Completed Testament means the coming of a big plus family centered on the True Parents’ family, into which five billion people, the population of the world, are to enter as small minus families. Once they become completely united they will move up to the same place.

When that happens, you meet the condition whereby you can declare, “I have converted from Satan’s lineage to God’s lineage”, “I have converted from Satan’s ownership to God’s ownership,” and, “I have converted from Satan’s realm of heart to God’s realm of heart.”

What is the realm of heart? There are three levels of heart: individual, family, and tribal. Those three different levels of heart are in a single category. They cannot be separated. That’s why we use the term, “tribal messiah.” Using tribal messiahship as a stepping stone, you can move up to the national level, worldwide level and so on. You cannot do it any other way. Therefore, we can call tribal messiahship the formula for the basic foundation.

Because all these, mentioned above, have been safely settled, you have this year’s motto, “Let Us Inherit True Parents’ Realm of Victory.” This did not happen for a mere song. It was possible only because I could put in order all matters, such as those just mentioned, and I was able to accomplish True Parents’ realm of victory. Therefore, as the direct lineal children of the True Parents, who have met the three conditions-one, conversion of lineage to that of True Parents; two, conversion of ownership to that of True Parents; and three, conversion of the realm of heart to that of True Parents-you can inherit what the True Parents have accomplished.

To be able to do that, you need to have both absolute faith and absolute unity. Why? Adam and Eve in Eden did not have absolute faith, and thus did not unite heartistically with God. Because of that, they lost everything. What man has lost on the level of the family has to be restored through making conditions of indemnity on the family level. If you blessed families just do as you please, you all will end up in hell.

True Parents’ family is the subject and all the rest humanity of the world are the object. The subject and the object must become united. That is the original ideal of creation. Through this, all will be restored. Now, do you understand the meaning of this year’s motto? [Yes.]

That is why you received the Family Pledge this year. In order to inherit the realm of True Parents’ victory, you need the Family Pledge. You need absolute love, absolute life, absolute lineage, absolute conscience, absolute faith, and absolute unity. That is the reason each part of the Family Pledge begins with the phrase, “centering on True Love”. To practice True Love you need to have union between mind and body, between husband and wife, and between you and your children. Have you achieved that?

Creating the Safe Settlement

The first step is to unite mind and body, the second is to unite husband and wife, and the third is to unite with children. There was a fight between mind and body within each spouse of the fallen couple, and a fight between themselves. Then Cain killed Abel. How can you expect a union when you mind and body fight against each other? You need mind and body union, conjugal union and children’s union in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This is a formula.

Eden lost the family. The restoration course is the course of recreation. To recreate you must create the union between your mind and body. Most problems arise from the conflict between mind and body. Therefore, if that conflict is solved, all problems will be solved. The kind of a man who is full of internal conflict cannot appear in Heaven. The messiah cannot engraft himself on that kind of man, because that engrafting is done to create and expand a new kind of a tree.

Therefore, unless you have achieved union between your mind and body, you cannot recite the Family Pledge. If the couple fight against each other and you fight with your children, then you cannot recite the Pledge either. The family is that important. Eden lost the family. Therefore, only such a family, which has attained union between mind and body, between husband and wife, and among children, will be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven automatically.

I proclaimed “True Parents and the Completed Testament Age” throughout forty nations, including America, Japan, and Korea, and at the United Nations. So now, when people hear “True Parents and the Completed Testament Age,” they recognize that as talking about Reverend Moon’s couple. Safe settlement takes place only because the proclamation has been made. If it had not been made there would not be safe settlement.

The whole world could not overcome the True Parents. The United States, its Capitol Hill, the United Nations, forty nations, and the university campuses as well, all could not expel the True Parents. Even Kim Il Sung, North Korea, and President Gorbachev welcomed and established the ties of blood brotherhood with me. And now they are following me. That is why the world could not expel me.

Look! Christian culture and the sphere of Europe, Islamic culture and the sphere of the Middle East, Confucian culture, and the Indian culture-the spheres of the four great religions, the spheres of four great cultures, and all those who are in conflict-all welcomed and embraced True Parents. That was how I attacked, and the opposition has been weak. That was how the Safe Settlement of the True Parents and the Completed Testament Age came into being.

The Safe Settlement of the True Parents means that you become united with the True Parents and God, and the Safe Settlement of the Completed Testament Age means that all of this fallen world moves into the age of promises fulfilled. Now, even upon hearing me speak about the upcoming 360,000 Couples Blessing, no one opposes it and the whole world seems eager to receive the Blessing.

The Foundation to Liberate God

Now the family system of the secular world has been broken down. It has no foundation and no system whatsoever. But the Unification Church has all the foundations: the individual foundation, family foundation, tribal foundation, racial foundation, national foundation, worldwide foundation, cosmic foundation, and God’s foundation, including the foundation to liberate God from His suffering and the foundation to make a new world of freedom. The world of freedom represents the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

So, the generations coming after will freely inherit all of this. That is why the term, “inheritance” is being used. All these things have to be put in order.

What is the topic today? Perfection of the true self and the safe settlement of the family. Perfection of the true self is attained through Godism, which embraces absolute love-ism, absolute life-ism, absolute lineage-ism, and absolute conscience-ism. The safe settlement of the family is attained through true parentism. The meaning of being settled safely here on earth is that the True Parents have already established the subjective family, to which all of humanity are to be respondents. With absolute faith and absolute unity in heart you are to be in union with True Parents, which is the requirement to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Isn’t that logical? [Yes.]

Can you achieve the safe settlement of your family? [Yes.] You have to lead a life of a tribal messiah. I am responsible for and deal with one hundred and sixty nations, in which Blessed couples are being spread out. As tribal messiahs you must establish your own one hundred and sixty family foundation and link it to my world-level foundation. In other words, you have to have your foundation onto which the True Parents can engraft their victorious foundation. That is the process by which the True Parents hand their victory over to you. In the relationship between True Parents and true children, the children can inherit everything that the parents have.

Because of the Fall of man, God stays out of the world, the fallen realm. Only when the one hundred and sixty nations of the world serve and worship God will He be able to return to this world. By making the connection between your one hundred and sixty families and the one hundred and sixty nations of the world you can inherit this foundation, that is, you can invite God into your own tribes, families, and individual selves. When that happens, God can finally have dominion over all creation. That was the original ideal of creation.

Admission into the Kingdom of Heaven

Then, what do you think? Do you absolutely need one hundred and sixty families? [Yes.] Why is that? It is in order to inherit all that the True Parents and God have victoriously accomplished. So now you understand the importance of tribal messiahship. Without it you cannot follow me. That means you cannot enter Kingdom of Heaven. That also means that you cannot liberate yourselves from the satanic world. Regardless of all difficulties involved, you must go over and accomplish tribal messiahship.

Only when you fulfill tribal messiahship of one hundred and sixty families, are you qualified to register for admission into the Kingdom of Heaven. Even in this world you need a passport and visas to get into other countries, don’t you? You need, absolutely, the passport, visa and registration to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Do you need them? [Yes.]

Once you obtain that passport, you can travel east, west, north, and south, for a thousand years or even for ten thousand years, you can go anywhere, anytime, freely. If you don’t have it, no matter how many sons and daughters and descendants you procreate, you will still remain as people without a nation. Can you imagine how great a curse your descendants would receive?

This scenario comes from my visualization through the system of restoration, which is based upon the theory of recreation through conditions of indemnity. This is reality. You must strengthen your tribal messiahship. If you don’t attain the completion of the foundation, no matter what else you do, the spirit world cannot assist you. Your ancestors cannot get down to the earth and help you. But by having the foundation spread wide horizontally, with many family sites throughout the world, the spirit world can connect to the world.

Without the passport and visa you cannot get through the twelve pearl gates. But if you do have the passport you can pass through any gate, get into Heaven, go back down to the earth, and go into individual homes without any problem, being totally free to travel anywhere in the created world. That indicates how important it is that you accomplish the foundation of one hundred and sixty family tribal messiahship. Without the foundation, you don’t have a nation. Do you know about the Vietnamese boat people? You will become like that.

But in the future it will become easier to secure that number of families. There will be a worldwide education campaign using mass media, including television and radio. When that happens, you will lose in the competition. Reverend Moon’s name will be resurrected in the memory of the secular world, rising above the levels of family, tribe, nation, and world, reaching the whole of humanity across the globe. Then the whole of humanity will say they have understood the teachings of Reverend Moon. That will take a mere week’s campaign using mass media. They will then outpace you.

Just Understanding is Not Enough

The outside Christian world will look at you and say, “What in the world have the Unification members been doing? Reverend Moon has been teaching about tribal messiahship for the past five years, but what has happened? Maybe Reverend Moon has been working with the wrong kind of people, foolish people.” They will outpace you easily. Since they are all over, in villages, towns and cities, they will not have difficulty reaching families horizontally. Now all the nations belong to the Christian world. That means that you will be standing at the tail of the whole race in a few years. By not fulfilling your responsibility, you won’t remain at the head section but will fall to the tail section. There are seven different upward stages from the tail section, where you will be, to the head section, which can be compared to the distance from hell to the Kingdom of Heaven. It is up to you; it is your responsibility to determine where you want to be! Understand?

Just understanding will not connect you. You need to take action and produce results. There’s no other way around it. It is not God’s mission, not True Parents’ mission, but your mission. God and True Parents taught you everything very clearly. You don’t have any excuse. You are Unification Church students. How are you going to pass the exam?

Today I have given you complete and detailed explanation. You attain the perfection of your true self through absolute love-ism, absolute life-ism, absolute lineage-ism, and absolute conscience-ism. Through the safe settlement of family and True Parents, which compensates for what was lost in the fall of the first family, we can connect the one hundred and sixty families coming through tribal messiahship by following True Parents, and thus take possession of the one hundred and sixty nations. This will enable you to travel back and forth anywhere freely, including to the Heavenly Kingdom, the entire spirit world and earth. The inheritance is inevitable, and it is a fate rather than a mere destiny.

The Kingdom of Heaven in heaven and on earth will belong to you only after you are able to register for entrance. After registration, you can call it “my country,” “my nation,” and “my kingdom.” How? The King of that kingdom is our True Parent and true God, and by uniting with them you can become true children. The true children can inherit the parent’s property, and it is based on the Principle.

Do you need tribal messiahship? [Yes.] No! [Yes.] Take freedom! [No.] You don’t have to sit here. You go back to your own neighborhood and, by going through the course of forty years of indemnificatory suffering, receiving persecution as a true parent to restore God’s four thousand year history, you work at it. I am sure you can resurrect one hundred and sixty families within a year.

Why don’t you take a rest from today on, and forget about tribal messiahship! [No.] Do you mean, “K – N – O – W?” [Laughter.] Do you need it? [Absolutely.]

If the Emperor of Japan happens to learn the Divine Principle and decides to receive the Blessing, then the whole Japanese population, one hundred and twenty million people, would be ready to receive the Blessing from True Parents within a week. All at one time! That means a whole nation registering. Once that happens, many hundred levels of tribal messiahs will be created, each tribal messiah having one hundred and sixty families. “Level” here means ancestors. Many thousands of levels of ancestors will appear. The four thousand years will create an infinite number of different levels.

If the Emperor unites with True Parents and becomes the second generation ancestor, and the rest of the people enter under the third generation and below, then many thousand of years of difference in terms of generations will be created. How miserable the bottom generation people must feel, since all were once at the same level, the same place! But by being able to connect and register first, you can become your neighbor’s ancestor from thousands of generations back. That is the supreme importance of tribal messiahship!

Saving Your Ancestors

Since I have told you everything, it is up to you. From now on, I will go up to a mountain and set up a tent and live in it. I will sleep there for forty years. [Laughter.] I mean it. Will you take a rest too, because I do? [No.] Since God toiled to stop people from drinking the beer and liquor Satan created, I might connect myself through a hose to the beer and liquor plant Satan set up and sleep for ten years, constantly taking in the liquid and relieving myself, just to dissolve God’s bitter resentment. I can do that, but you can’t, because you come under the condition of not having fulfilled tribal messiahship. Once you have done it, you can follow me. [Laughter and applause.]

While you are enjoying the moment sitting together, with laughter, there will be several thousands of years of generations created. Depending on the date of registration, the ancestral order will be determined, and the later generations will have to bow to the ancestors from the earlier generations.

Although the fall brought about varieties of language, culture, and many other things throughout the world, through the Blessing and registration, a mass migration, as when people gather into a nation, will take place for the first time. Since Caucasian people are to take the lead, they have this arrogance, being proud of themselves and taking a zig zag course, while African people with a humble and head-bowing attitude take a straight direction. When Caucasian people go to Africa, zig-zagging will slow you down and cause you to stay behind the people going straight. Isn’t that true? [Yes.]

A mass migration will take place. On the satanic side, Stalin forcefully sent Koreans under guard to a desert in the middle of Asia, dumping them and leaving them for dead. Satan apocalyptically showed the world an example of what mass migration is like, using Korean people. Mass migration! A mass migration will definitely take place, but in the heavenly way this time.

The interesting thing is how, like enemies becoming relatives when their children get married, the people you used to laugh at will become your ancestors.

I try to save America, the country that played the enemy to me, for the sake of the world. You should play the same game. Any one who does not wish to save his ancestors will have to go to hell.

Godism represents absolute True Love-ism, absolute True Life-ism, absolute True Lineage-ism, and absolute True Conscience-ism. Headwing thought means true parentism, that is, you should become True Parents and fulfill tribal messiahship. The tribal messiah must restore the family messiahs. When the nation gets established in the future, the national messiah will restore tribal messiahs and family messiahs.

I am the center of one hundred and sixty nations. Since the messiahship is centered on the family, the family messiah, the tribal messiah, and the national messiah will make up one category. They are like formation, growth, and perfection stages of the growth period. Through this process all nations will be restored, and this will make up the world. There could be a dozen tribal messiahs. But if all Christians from the old days are restored, a hundred or even several hundred could establish tribal messiahship, meaning that there will not be enough people left for you to restore.

The satanic world will be completely conquered, and there will be no place for Satan to stand. The True Parents are the center of all one hundred and sixty nations and the king of the nations that will make up the Kingdom of Heaven. He is the king of kings. So now you clearly understand about perfection of the true self and the safe settlement of the family.

Unification of Catholic and Protestant

The declaration of the True Parents was made in 1992, the Safe Settlement of the True Parents and the Completed Testament Age in 1993, and the right of possession of the realm of True Parents’ victory this year. This will complete the preparation.

From now, we go to South America. When we make South America and North America unite, the whole world will become unified. South America is mostly Catholic and represents Cain’s position, while North America is mainly Protestant and represents Abel’s position. Cain and Abel are still fighting now. But they must unite with each other centered on God and True Parents. They cannot achieve this unification themselves. God and True Parents can and will do it. This will bring the contents of the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Completed Testament onto a linear, horizontal grounding. Thus, by setting up the God-centered vertical axis, this unification of two continents, north and south, will lead to the unification of the world.

Even though Europe still remains the battleground for the Catholics, which is the Old Testament, Cain position, and the Protestants, which is the New Testament, Abel position, through True Parents’ teaching, it can come to its unification as in the case of North and South America. This will complete the unification of the whole world. So, for this preparation Father has to go down to South America, which is eagerly waiting for him. This is the providential viewpoint.

Since I have fulfilled perfection of the true self and the safe settlement of the family and am letting you inherit it all, you will no longer have difficulty achieving the Kingdom of Heaven in your family. Adam and Eve lost their family in Eden. You must restore the family. Do you need “perfection of the true self and the safe settlement of the family”? [Yes.] Then you must get ready to pack up and move. You may have to migrate to build God’s nation, into which all humanity can enter. To build this kind of Godly nation is the hope and the objective of this fallen world.

Who would like to work to achieve this? Raise your hands. I always see you raising both of your hands. Raising hands, even if both, will not bring victory. You need action. Results! Okay. Go ahead and pray.

REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

February 7, 1995
Washington, DC
Translator — Hideo Oyamada

r. Oyamada is the representative of the Eve nation. The Adam and Eve nations need to make unity. Therefore, he will be my interpreter. [Father laughs.]

This is my seventy-fifth birthday and Mother’s fifty-second birthday. That is why I invited all the overseas missionaries to America. The fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II marks a period of change. A new era and a new dimension is beginning. From the providential point of view, we don’t have a heavenly nation. We don’t have a heavenly fatherland. The great desire of all human beings is for our original parents and our original fatherland. That is the original human desire ever since our birth. Because of the fall we lost our original human ancestor and our original fatherland. Christianity has tried to find the original ancestor and original fatherland. Human history after the fall records the search for this original ancestor and original fatherland.

[Father writes on the blackboard and Mr. Oyamada reads the words he wrote:] God, Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel; Satan, Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel. If the human ancestors had not fallen, Heavenly Father’s orders would go directly to Adam, and Adam’s orders would go to Eve. Then Eve as the mother would give orders to Cain, the oldest son, and finally they would reach the youngest son. This was the original heavenly order. However, the fall completely disturbed this heavenly order, and all family members fought each other. Because of the fighting and lack of unity, Heavenly Father could not dwell there. The original heavenly world was lost, and everything was completely nullified.

In place of Heavenly Father, Satan has controlled the whole world. In place of Adam, there was fallen Adam. In place of Eve, there was fallen Eve. In place of Cain, there was fallen Cain. You should clearly understand that, because of the fall, we lost the original concept of order. History has been the story of salvation, restoration and re-creation. The providence of salvation is the providence of restoration and re-creation.

The Formula for Restoring Everything

here is a heavenly formula for restoring everything, which goes back to the original process by which God created the world. First, Heavenly Father created the environment, including the sun, air, water and soil. Without these four elements human life and indeed all living things would die. Within the environment there are always subject/object relationships. This subject / object relationship is the formula. If you carefully analyze the mineral kingdom and plant kingdom, you can find plus and minus in a reciprocal relationship. There are male and female animals. Human beings exist as men and women. The whole environment consists of plus and minus, subject and object.

Without subject and object, there can be no action or motion. The universe originated through some force or power. What was this energy, and where did it come from? Take, for example, the husband/wife relationship: where does its energy come from? Which comes first, energy or action? A boy looks at a girl and then action starts. Action comes before force or energy. Reciprocal action does not come from a single existence; there need to be dual characteristics. When there is a reciprocal relationship between subject and object, the foundation for energy is created.

Then how do subject and object become united? The motivation is True Love. Love is the motivation, and action is the result. A reciprocal relationship starts when one invests one’s self. God’s work of creation started with investment. God invested Himself and then forgot it, over and over continuously. Heavenly Father stands in the subject position and gives love to us in the object position. When we receive this love and investment from Heavenly Father and return energy to Him, that is the start of a reciprocal relationship. On that foundation, a bigger plus, a higher-dimension plus is created. That is why God created our original mind and gave us the desire to move from the individual level to ever-higher dimensions, including the family level, clan level, tribal level, worldwide level and universal level, until we finally become the object of God.

What is the motivation of God’s creation? To create the object of love. Heavenly Father kept investing more and more, in order to have a bigger object. Heavenly Father has the same type of feelings as a human being. If you are lonely, what kind of partner do you seek? An object of love. As an absolute subject, God eternally invests and forgets, invests and forgets. As objects in front of Heavenly Father, we should also invest and forget, invest and forget. In this way we can become the objects of God.

To invest and forget means to sacrificially serve another person; that is the origin of the universe. As the subject of love, Heavenly Father needs a love object. That is why He started creating the universe. As horizontal objects of love, we need to create the foundation upon which Heavenly Father can settle on this earth. The foundation of Heavenly Father’s settlement is the family. This is the most fundamental unit of Heavenly Father’s creation.

Everything will be organized and mobilized through the family unit. Through the family, Heavenly Father wants to dance and sing with us, enjoying a relationship with us. The core of the family is man and woman, husband and wife. Husband and wife should each be united in mind and body. On that foundation, the husband becomes the plus and the wife becomes the minus. Within the couple, plus and minus should be united. Through this unity, the husband and wife become a higher-level plus, resulting in the creation of children. The husband and wife become parents, giving birth to children, who grow up and become parents in turn. These three generations compose the family.

God’s formula is based on reciprocal relationships. When you look at your face you see two eyes, which function in a reciprocal relationship. You don’t have just one nostril; you have two nostrils, functioning in a reciprocal relationship. Everything exists for the sake of the object. What is the force that enables mind and body, husband and wife, parents and children to unite? True Love. Where does True Love come from? If you look for a marriage partner, do you want a spouse who is better than you or worse than you? Where does such a motivation come from? Heavenly Father also looks for a partner of love. That is an eternal, original, absolute desire: the desire for a superior object of love. We want to experience love on ever-higher levels. Through True Love, we can connect to the whole universe. The standard for all these levels of love is the family. Even the president of the United States connects with people centered on the family. If Adam had not fallen, he would have connected to the whole universe centering on the family. He would have been an unchanging subject, representing the whole universe like a king.

The president of the United States represents the whole nation. Adam and Eve would have been the king and queen of their family and eventually the king and queen of the the tribe and nation. Heavenly Father is in the subject position, and human beings are automatically in the object position. There are kings and queens on different levels, but however large the level, they should completely fit into the formula, which is True Love.

Investing and Forgetting

rue Love starts with total investment and forgetting. To invest and forget means to serve others and think in a sacrificial way. The person who constantly serves other people and thinks in a sacrificial way always becomes the central figure. Do you follow? This is a most important teaching. Why is Heavenly Father the eternal subject? From the beginning of creation, He has been eternally investing and forgetting, investing and forgetting, in a sacrificial way.

If there are ten members in a family, the one who is most sacrificial, sacrificing himself ten times more than the other family members, is the central figure. To serve others and sacrifice one’s self for others is our moral standard and our teaching. Because Heavenly Father is that kind of eternal subject, as His objects we should automatically have the same attitude and follow the same principle. One family member sacrifices for the others and serves them, and then that family sacrifices itself for the clan and serves the hundreds of families in the clan.

In the creation, Heavenly Father started with the mineral world, investing Himself and forgetting, until the higher level of the plant kingdom emerged. In the plant kingdom as well as the mineral kingdom, everything consists of plus and minus. Everything followed the formula.

Children are educated in kindergarten and then elementary school according to this formula of plus and minus. After they finish elementary school, they go to junior high school and high school; at every stage they meet the concept of plus and minus. When they go to the university and pursue a doctoral course, they learn plus and minus. On that foundation every level, including the national level and worldwide level, follows the same formula of development through the reciprocal relationship between plus and minus.

If you go witnessing in your state or nation, you should be the subject of that environment. You begin in the object role and serve people, until finally you gain the subject role.

If you look at the course I have been pursuing until today, I connect with the academic realm, the political realm and the media realm, always making connections on the highest levels, by following this formula. I begin from the position of object and serve the people in that realm. Finally I gain the subject position. That is the absolute formula, the iron-clad law. I served the famous professors and scholars, and eventually they learned that the Rev. Moon is superior to them. If you follow this formula, you will be the central figures. In the academic, political and media realms, I have been continuously investing and forgetting. Even Nobel laureate academics who thought they were at the center of knowledge are as nothing in front of me.

Individualism is a big problem. People always want to receive without investing. However, first you have to invest and then you can receive. Do you understand? You know clearly the universal formula. When you enter the elementary school, you have to unite with your teacher. Then you can go the next higher level, which is the junior high school. The same thing is true with high school and university. You should unite with the subject and then move up to a higher level.

By following the formula of investing and forgetting, you can develop from the individual level all the way to Heavenly Father. How much money has our movement invested up until today? No record has been kept of how much was invested. I forgot everything. I just invest and forget.

However, all these processes can be completely integrated within the family. All the family members should be connected, each of them existing for the sake of others. What is the motivation of all the actions in the universe? Although there are many different dimensions, they all follow the formula of True Love.

What kind of people were the saints and sages? For example, Jesus Christ taught that we should love our enemy. That means to forget the wrongs and forgive the enemy. When was the decision made to publish the Washington Times? While the court case was in progress. I was considered the enemy of the country. They brought a court case and put me in jail. However, I invested and forgot. That automatically made me the central person. This is an application of the universal formula.

Sacrificing for the Whole

ook at my hand. The hand by itself has no meaning. What is the meaning of my eye, nose, ears and legs? They exist for me. They have no value apart from the whole. Even the nose exists for the whole. The five or six organs are for the sake of their object. What about my lips? They exist for myself. What are my ears for? They exist for myself. All the organs of my body exist for the sake of myself. Thus we should know clearly that in all the world nothing exists for its own sake but for the sake of the higher level.

What is the starting point of the material world? What is the motivation of its existence? All material things desire to connect to human beings. What is the motivation for existence of a molecule or atom? To reach the higher plant realm as soon as possible, to be absorbed by some subject in a higher realm.

The individual sacrifices for the sake of the family. All beings seek the higher purpose. Each being seeks to unite with a higher realm, representing God. We need to step to higher realms in order to eventually reach Heavenly Father; we go from the family to clan, clan to nation, nation to the world, and the world to Heavenly Father. This is the traditional, historical formula which all things must follow.

In relation to the animal world, human beings occupy the position of God; human beings represent God to the animal world. Human beings are in the top position of creation. All creatures want to follow human beings. What is the motivation of the mineral realm? To become part of the plant realm. When you look at this as a vertical and horizontal process, if the horizontal realm puts pressure on the vertical aspect it pushes the vertical aspect higher, and if the vertical aspect pushes down on the horizontal aspect it becomes wider. What does this teach us? If we sacrifice our flesh, our mind will become higher. If our mind becomes higher, our flesh cannot complain. We find here the principle that the horizontal aspect should sacrifice for the vertical aspect; that is why we sacrifice our flesh for the sake of our mind, which is our vertical aspect.

Plants sacrifice themselves because they know that by sacrificing they become part of a higher level. The whole plant world would sacrifice itself for a small worm; a worm will sacrifice itself for a rabbit, and a rabbit will sacrifice itself for a tiger, because the tiger is on a higher level. Finally, the whole animal world will sacrifice itself for the sake of human beings.

Although our body of flesh does not want to sacrifice itself, it should sacrifice for the sake of the mind. This is why all religions teach us to sacrifice our body of flesh for the sake of our mind. However, our body never wants to sacrifice itself; therefore, we have to push our flesh in order to enable our mind to rise to a higher level. By itself, if our mind tries to approach Heavenly Father it would take a thousand years; but if we sacrifice our body completely we can reach Heavenly Father within a second. We should know that the traditional, universal formula for development is to sacrifice oneself, invest and forget. Because this formula was lost, people have not been able to develop.

The Dwelling Place of Love, Life and Lineage

What do all things want to approach? The place of love, the place where love is exchanged: our sexual organs. All things want to connect with love, life, blood lineage and conscience, which are all linked in the place where man and woman unite: the sexual organs. This is the dwelling place of love, life, blood lineage and conscience. Every purpose dwells there. The movement of the universe is based on this formula.

As human beings, we should follow Heavenly Father’s way. As human beings, we should connect to the deepest part of Heavenly Father. All human beings approach the original place of love as children, as brother and sister, as husband and wife, and as parents. People in all four stages of human life approach this original place of love. This is the place of sexual intercourse. This is the formula for this world’s existence.

As human beings, we should go towards God. The animal world goes towards human beings and, through them, towards God. The motivation of the animal world is to reach the realm of God’s love through human beings. This is the formula. If we nullify this formula, everything that exists in this world will be destroyed. This is the fundamental concept of our being.

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution was completely incorrect. He talked about the survival of the fittest and the weak ones being sacrificed for the stronger ones. People are confused because they don’t know what is subject and what is object. They don’t know the formula governing the subject/object relationship. They don’t know which is first, concept or substance. The concept, or love, is first, followed by the substance, man and woman. There is concave and convex. On the foundation of unity between concave and convex, love and life are established. Through the reciprocal relationship, plus and minus unite and form a unity on a higher dimension. This is the formula of development.

Take our eyes, for example. Which was first, concept or substance? Before the eye developed, did it know that the sun existed? It didn’t know, but the purpose of the eye is to look for the sun. Did the nose know there was air before it existed? No. It didn’t know. What is the motivation for the eyebrow? It is just like a screen. Did the eye know that things would be flying everywhere and thus it would need an eyebrow? The substantial eye did not know, but the concept knew. You may think there is no meaning to the eyebrow, but before the eyebrow existed there was a vast background of knowledge that gave rise to the substance. Do you know why the eyelid blinks? Did it know there would be dust in the air? Did tear ducts develop because the eye knew there would be dust in the air? The eye didn’t know these things. Do you think the eye would be more beautiful and more convenient without an eyebrow? However, without the eyebrow how would the salty sweat be kept out of the eye? Why do we have lines in our forehead? They are sweat lines. Thus we know that concept existed before substance.

Did the man’s sexual organ know before birth that it would go into a woman’s sexual organ? [Laughter.] No. The concept was first. What is the meaning of nose hairs? [Father laughs.] For a woman to have nose hairs is a very terrible thing. The concept is first and substance is second. Do you follow? Concept is first and substance is second.

Between the amoebas and human beings are thousands and thousands of relationships. Human beings come on that foundation. Without the connection of the love relationship, no new baby can come to exist. Every step of development, from the lower levels to the higher levels, always took place through the love relationship. Without that we could not reach higher levels. Thus evolutionary theory is false; it is the way of thinking of a thief. Concept is the priority.

Can you see love? We cannot see or touch love. How do we know this? Without an object of love, we cannot know that love exists. We have love, life, blood lineage and even conscience, but because we are so completely one with them we cannot feel them. How many times do you blink your eye? Can you calculate the number? Why don’t you know? Each square centimeter is affected by air pressure, but we don’t feel that pressure. If you put your hand on your breast, what kind of sound do you feel? Your heartbeat. How many times does your heart beat each day? It makes a big sound, but we don’t realize it because we cannot feel it. Why? Do you put a big mask in front of your nose when you go to the bathroom? Because we are completely united with it, we do not sense the smell.

The Zero Point

hy did God create us so completely united with aspects of ourselves that we cannot even feel them? If you have a love object, you can suddenly feel love, life, blood lineage and even conscience. An object of love creates a big stimulation; it is a powerful stimulus, like an electrical shock. If we invest only thirty percent and neglect the remaining seventy percent, we cannot receive anything from the subject of love. However, if we invest a hundred percent and more, then we can feel the shock of love, through the subject of love. A hundred percent shock, all open! Unless we live a hundred percent for the sake of others, we cannot feel the love-shock.

If our mind and body are fighting against each other, how can we move? We cannot approach the zero point in such a condition. The zero point is where subject and object, plus and minus connect. Thus you should unite your mind and body first, and then unite with your spouse. American people especially need to understand that individualism cannot produce unification. You have to warn American people to change and go to the opposite side. Can you do it?

This is the formula we need to learn from the sun, air, water and soil. They sacrifice themselves for the others. These four elements sacrifice themselves and serve others. For instance, if there is a small opening, water will go through it. In the body, the blood penetrates the smallest openings. In a tree, the fluids rise to the top branches. Air itself follows the same formula. It invests and forgets; it gives in a sacrificial way. Even the sun works so hard, but does it take a rest? For a hundred million years it has been giving light, without stopping. The sun represents God’s position. It is the life element without which no being can sustain its existence.

Is love more similar to water or to air? Both air and water flow. Does high-pressure air flow toward an area of low pressure, or does the low-pressure air flow to the high-pressure area? High-pressure air flows to the low-pressure area. Just like the sun, just like high-pressure air, Heavenly Father invests and forgets, coming down to the low area. Suppose water is heading down to a dirty place: will it protest going to a low place? Water and air freely flow everywhere and occupy every place. This willingness to flow is the formula of love.

Suppose a Japanese cloud said, “I hate American clouds. I do not want to be matched to an American cloud.” Would that happen? Suppose a Japanese ocean said, “I don’t want to circulate in an American area.” Or suppose water in an American ocean protested against circulating 4,000 miles to Japan. Does that happen? Does water discriminate between developed and underdeveloped countries? Are there national borders dividing the currents? How do human beings compare to the currents of water? They create borders and discriminate against each other.

Do American sparrows and Korean sparrows chirp differently? [Father says, “Da, da, da, da.”] Why do Korean men and American men use different languages? They cause damage. Who caused this? They hate each other and fight. Parents and children fight. Even the rice — or bread, for the Western world — doesn’t want to hear such sounds. God does not dwell where there is fighting. If your mind and body are fighting, God does not dwell with you. Universal law does not permit it. We should clearly understand this concept.

Restoring the Family

he formula of re-creation involves reversing the positions of Cain and Abel. Because of the fall, the original blueprint was lost. Restoration means coming back to the original point, the original family unit, the original family formula of parents and children. Because God lost the family, He has been seeking the family. God comes down to the lowest part, seeking the lowest Abel in the satanic world. Satan occupies the head place in the satanic world. God has been coming down to hell. How miserable God’s situation is! From the providential perspective, how amazing indemnity is!

Until today, Cain and Abel have been fighting. Abel is the right wing, and Cain is the left wing. They have been fighting. Where did this fighting start? In Adam’s family. Adam and Eve were the parents; Cain and Abel were elder brother and younger brother. Because of the fall, Adam and Eve were not true parents; therefore, the elder son and younger son began to fight. If parents are centered on True Love, the elder and younger brothers will embrace. However, without parents there is no embracing power; the children fight with each other.

Thus the family level was lost. To restore this, a higher-level, national foundation was needed. Judaism developed in the Abel position and the nation of Israel was in the Cain position. They should be united as Cain and Abel. When Adam and Eve are completely united, centering on Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father can dwell there. When the mother and elder son are united, universal power operates. This is the formula of re-creation. Do you follow? When there is unity between subject and object, universal power dwells there and heavenly fortune guides them.

Why do we feel pain when we have a disease? Pain exists because of the lack of unity between subject and object. When there is no unity between husband and wife, heavenly power is chased out. Therefore, they feel pain.

Thousands and thousands of electrical bolts are operating in the universe. In electrical terms, if plus and plus are always fighting, how can they unite? If thousands and thousands of electrical bolts come down, what will happen? Will electricity gradually start to flow when there is only plus? When plus and plus unite, and minus and minus unite, then plus and minus will begin to cooperate, creating some kind of reaction.

Protecting the Subject/Object Relationship

efore marriage, sisters live together and brothers live together. Before marriage, sisters are friends with sisters and brothers are friends with brothers. They meet every day, talk together, and sleep in the same place together. However, after marriage they focus on their spouse. Once the subject is decided, no other subjects are allowed. The heavenly formula guards the unity between plus and minus. Before a reciprocal relationship is made with an object, it is permissible to connect with others. However, once the reciprocal relationship is established, no other subject or object is permitted. You tell them to find their own spouse. Universal power protects the partnership; it is a helping force. When husband and wife are united, other influences are kicked out. If you see some handsome man, are you interested in him or not? [No! Everyone laughs.] This is the formula for settlement. Is it temporary or eternal? Do you want temporary love or eternal love? [Eternal love!]

We know that Heavenly Father always invests and forgets and that He protects the subject/object relationships. This is an eternal partnership. True Love means eternally to invest and forget. On that foundation, the world of eternal peace, happiness and love can be established. On the foundation of our own unity we can connect with our environment. When the horizontal base is established, the vertical dimension operates, creating a place where the children can settle. Subject and object, plus and minus need to be united. When the central point of unity is established, horizontal expansion to the four corners of the earth is possible. This is the formula for the environment of reciprocal relationship between subject and object.

Because of the fall, the elder son became the younger son, and the younger son became the elder son. Restoration means to take the reverse course and return to the original position. God could connect only to the younger son, while everything in the higher position was connected to Satan. Everyone in the family and on the national levels persecutes those in the lowest position, who are in the Abel position. Because of this persecution, those in the lower position automatically rise higher and higher. Thus the younger brother becomes the elder brother.

Why does God’s providence of restoration take such an incredibly long time? Because the elder son always persecutes and tries to assassinate the younger son. Finally, he is conscience-stricken; then he apologizes and gives everything to the younger brother.

Resolving Conflicts

n the national level, Jesus Christ came. He was crucified between the right-hand thief and the left-hand thief. Because of Jesus, they fought each other; Judaism and Israel fought each other. However, this did not fit into the formula course.

The fighting in Adam’s time was on the family level, while the fighting in Jesus’ time was on the national level, and the fighting at the time of the Lord of the Second Advent is on the worldwide level. Right wing and left wing are represented by the democratic world and the communist world. True Father is the third Adam, embracing the right wing, the democratic world, and the left wing, the communist world. How can they be unified? At Jesus’ time they failed to unite. True Parents have to digest both communism and the democratic world. At Adam’s time there was a family-level failure, while in Jesus’ time there was a national-level failure. Both of these failures should be indemnified now on a worldwide level by Father. As the True Parent and the third Adam, I will completely digest them and embrace them, without fighting.

The worldwide-level communist leader, Gorbachev, and the national-level communist leader, Kim Il Sung, should be digested by True Parents. Because True Parents unified the plus, or democratic, world and the minus, or communist world, that means that what was originally lost on the family will return on the national level. Because of that, I declared “True Parents and the Completed Testament Age.” Why have Cain and Abel, or left wing and right wing, emerged in history? People don’t know. Neither the communist world nor the democratic world knows what direction they should take.

We should know our historical mission. I am using the Eve nation, Japan, to embrace the archangel nation, America. That is the process I am using now. Fallen Eve separated from Adam’s world. How can Eve, the mother’s position, unite the archangelic and Adamic world? If women work for the unification of the world, it will be no problem for men to unite. The women’s age is coming. American women are like queens, and American men are like servants. The man stops the car, gets out, and opens the door for the woman exactly like a servant. Such a standard of action cannot continue forever. Only until the year 2000. Only another six years.

When the real king and real queen appear, people will follow them. People will have to follow the real king. The year 2000 will mark the beginning of that age.

You have to come to the zero point. You have to cancel the attitudes of this world and reach the zero point. You have to connect with the true subject, True Parents, and heavenly love; then you and your partner can create the realm of a unified couple.

The course of restoration is seeking this original ideal. Until today, the history of restoration has focused on restoring the positions of Cain and Abel. Cain tries to kill Abel three times, but then Cain is conscience-stricken. Feeling sorry, he will give the elder sonship to the younger brother, Abel. Because of this process, the history of restoration takes a long time. Because they could not bear Heavenly Father’s direct blood lineage, they sacrificed their blood lineage.

God has no concept of enemy. God’s way is always the loving way, not the hating way. Finally, even Satan will obey me and naturally surrender to me. This is the original idea of creation. In order to unify the right-hand side, I came to America and worked to unify with every realm, including the Congress and the United Nations. By unifying the right wing and the left wing, I laid the foundation to restore everything and safely settle True Parents and the Completed Testament age. Thousands of years ago Heavenly Father lost the original position. Through the indemnity course, Cain becomes the younger brother and Abel becomes the elder brother, regaining and restoring the original position.

The crossing point is the point of complete negation, a zero. The whole satanic world must be nullified. That is why religions have always taught people to leave their home town. Traditional religions could not teach people to return to their home town. For the first time in thousands of years of human history, the hometown providence is possible. Unification Church members have not understood how important the hometown providence is.

Adam and Eve were chased out of the Garden of Eden. In the process of restoration, we will come back to the original position of Adam and Eve. Because of false parents and false marriages, the process must be reversed. Because of false parents, people have been destined to go to hell. But with True Parents, the process is reversed and we can go to heaven. This is the final goal sought by all religions; even Heavenly Father has been seeking this original standard. Thus, the central concept is a family. On this foundation, people can unite and their positions can be reversed; for example, the children’s position becomes a minus and the mother’s position becomes a bigger plus. We must follow the reverse course back to the original position.

The mother’s position is the bride religion; this has been the role of Christianity in history. Christianity becomes a minus and seeks the new bridegroom, the messiah. Thus the mother and children, centering on the bride, return to the original Adam. Then we can kick out Satan. The messiah comes down from heaven. The heavenly bridegroom should seek the bride and children. When mother and children unite, they are in the minus position in relationship to the bridegroom, who is the bigger plus. This is the formula of development. Then the restoration is finished.

Through the unity between Cain and Abel, the birthright of the elder son is restored. On this foundation parents are restored, and if Heavenly Father dwells there, the kingship or heavenly sovereignty is restored. Finally the fighting between brothers and sisters is solved.

What Father Taught the Japanese Women

hy has American democracy been declining? Free sex, homosexuality and AIDS have spread all over the country. People must desperately follow me; otherwise there is no hope. Why am I doing things this way? The archangel caused Eve to fall, so Eve should restore the archangel to the original position. When high-level men meet the Japanese women, they melt. The fallen archangel melted Eve, but now Eve is melting the archangelic world.

Until today no one knew the secret of the heavenly formula course. Because of that, no one can deny me. This is the process of restoration, but I have been giving women more insight. I have been teaching Japanese women the nature of women’s role in God’s providence. You should know the content of what I have been teaching the Japanese women.

Centering on Heavenly Father, there have been two kinds of women after the fall: the original or legal wife, and the mistress. From the two kinds of wives, two kinds of children have emerged. Originally, there should have been only one type of children and one type of wife. One is the elder sister and the other is the younger sister, and their positions coincide with Cain’s position and Abel’s position.

How could fallen Eve be restored at the time of Jacob? Jacob suffered for seven years in order to marry Rachel. Why has the history of restoration been so complicated? The things that happened to Eve should have been restored in the case of Jacob and Rachel. However, Jacob’s family went through the same course. Why did Laban send Leah, the elder sister, to Jacob’s tent on his wedding night? In order to restore the original position, Jacob had to love the enemy, the elder sister. In Jacob’s family, the elder sister, Leah, should have taken the position of younger sister and the younger sister, Rachel, should have taken the position of elder sister. That is how restoration would have been accomplished. However, Leah and the servant girls claimed the heavenly lineage for their side. These three women bore ten children for Satan’s side. The original, heavenly wife, Rachel, was completely denied. Leah and the concubines had ten children, while Rachel had only two. Originally, Cain’s wife and children were supposed to follow Abel’s wife and children. Abel’s plus and minus (his wife and children) were supposed to be united on the foundation of Cain’s plus and minus (his wife and children). That was the formula of restoration. However, everything was reversed.

Along these lines, the kingdom was divided into the northern part, Israel, and the southern part, Judah. The dynasties fought against each other. All twelve sons and tribes of Israel should have united to welcome the messiah. Otherwise there was no foundation to receive the messiah. Plus and minus should be united centering on the messiah.

Before the Lord came, Elijah was chosen by Heavenly Father to help the northern and southern kingdoms unite. Finally, on Mount Carmel, there was a showdown between the 850 false prophets and Elijah in order to determine who was the true God. All morning the other prophets prayed, but nothing happened. Finally, Elijah placed water on the altar, and Heavenly Father worked. However, the people could not accept Elijah as a heavenly prophet, and they tried to assassinate him. Finally, he escaped and prayed, “Heavenly Father, please take my life.” Heavenly Father said, “Don’t worry. I have been preparing things. Seven thousand people did not worship the false gods.” If they united with Elijah, the messiah would have been welcomed. Because of the failure at Elijah’s time, however, the restored Elijah had to return before Jesus could appear. Because Elijah ascended into heaven, the people expected Elijah to come down from heaven.

That was the time of John the Baptist. Among the tribes of Israel, if there were 7,000 prepared people who could welcome Jesus, the heavenly providence would have been completely fulfilled. If John the Baptist and 7,000 followers had united with Jesus, Jesus Christ could have restored all the people of Israel centering on the family of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. However, everything failed.

Who was the father of Jesus Christ? [Zechariah.] Zechariah. This followed the same formula of legal wife and mistress. The mistress was Mary, and the legal wife was Elizabeth. The relationship between Elizabeth and Mary was just like that between Leah and Rachel. Zechariah’s family should have restored Jacob’s family; they had exactly the same course. Elizabeth should have restored Leah’s position and then introduced Mary to Zechariah. The result of the relationship between Zechariah and Mary was the birth of Jesus Christ. With Mary and Jesus united as plus and minus, and Elizabeth and John the Baptist united as plus and minus, a greater plus and minus would have been created by the unity between the two wives and two sons. If this process of unity had taken place, all of history would have been completely restored. Everything would have been solved if Jesus Christ had been safely married.

Why could Jesus Christ not get married even by the age of thirty-three? Jesus Christ is the true Adam, isn’t he? As the completed Adam, he was connected to the True Love of God. If one such man and woman are united in marriage, they would have the position of royalty on the national level. If this marriage had been completed, everything would have been accomplished.

Why couldn’t Jesus get married even by the age of thirty-three? Restoration is accomplished through indemnity. The fall involved a relationship between the archangel, Eve and Adam, culminating in Cain and Abel. Lucifer’s betrayal involved taking away Adam’s sister, Eve. Jesus’ position was Adam’s position, and John the Baptist’s position was the archangelic position. All these historical events led up to John the Baptist’s younger sister being in the position to become Jesus’ wife. With Jesus destined to be in the elder son’s position, John the Baptist’s younger sister would have become Jesus’ wife and all of history would have been restored.

When Jesus Christ was seventeen years old, he told Mary whom he should marry. Jesus Christ spoke strongly about the necessity for this marriage, no matter what sacrifices might need to be made, but Mary could not accept it. Mary went through such a severe course after her relationship with Zechariah. She experienced much persecution from the environment. If this sexual relationship had been publicized, people would have stoned her to death. If Joseph had not declared that her baby was his son, Jesus and Mary would have been stoned to death. Joseph was the savior of Mary and Jesus Christ. If Mary had confessed who her child’s father was, there would have been a problem. Thus Jesus and John the Baptist’s sister had the same father, but different mothers. They were half-brother/sister. John the Baptist knew very well that Jesus Christ was an illegitimate child. When John the Baptist received the revelation that Jesus was God’s beloved son, he could not accept that an illegitimate person was the messiah. Under these circumstances, for Jesus to marry John the Baptist’s younger sister was unacceptable. Although they had different mothers, they were both children of Zechariah. How could people accept such an incestuous relationship?

The Need for a True Center

hy have there been so many miserable incestuous relationships in America? The Lord of the Second Advent clarifies all these situations. The Lord of the Second Advent chases out such situations; they have no center; they lead to hell. The free world has no center. The Christian world has no center. I am turning them back toward heaven.

Because they chased out the central figure, they have been declining for the past forty years. People have engaged in free sex. Sexual relationships between man and man and between woman and woman follow the archangelic way of life, not the heavenly way of life. At the end of World War II Great Britain, America and France were in Abel’s position, and Japan, Germany and Italy were in Cain’s position. If I had been united at that time with Sung Jin Nim’s mother, who was in the bride position, the heavenly providence would have been completed forty years ago. The central family, central tribe and central nation would have been united around Korea as the core of parental unification. Centering on Eve’s position, all nations could have surrounded that country, making the atmosphere of unification.

However, the same thing happened as in the Garden of Eden, and I was chased out. The Christian world did not welcome the second advent, so I was chased out into the wilderness. The family was lost, and only Adam remained. The satanic realm chased God out.

How can the Lord of the Second Advent make the family, tribe, nation and world a second time, culminating in the year 2000. At that time I will be eighty years old, the same age as Moses.

Centering on North America in the plus position, the Unification Church is plus and Christianity is minus. On the foundation of this reciprocal relationship the South American countries, which are primarily Catholic, are Cain and North America is Abel. The two continents have been fighting, as hostile, enemy nations. The Protestant and Catholic civilizations should be united.

The archangel should unite with Eve, creating a sisterhood centering on Christianity that can unite with True Parents. Centering on Father, Cain and Abel can return to their original position, and America will take the plus position. In the reversal process, enemy countries become brother countries.

North America should go down to South America and unite with them. The united North and South America will become a big plus and Europe, centering on Germany, will automatically be in the position of a big minus to them. Martin Luther tried to unify Protestants and Catholics. When Protestants and Catholics are united in America, they will automatically be united in Europe.

The united Americas and Europe will become a still bigger plus, and Asia will automatically be in a minus position to them. Then everything is finished. There will be a new United Nations. In Asia, north and south, Cain and Abel will all be completely united centering on True Parents. This is the path of restoration. Through this course we will restore Roman Catholicism and the Roman Empire. Finally, even Adam’s course will be completely restored through this process.

Eve’s Mission

ecause of Eve’s fall, the family was lost. On the worldwide level, the family will be restored, centering on Eve. That is why I have been advancing the worldwide providence centering on the restoration of women. Therefore, the Japanese women came here to establish sisterhood bonds with women from America, their former enemy nation. Korea and Japan have been enemy nations, but through the sisterhood bonds everything can be solved. Therefore, should we stop now or should we continue stronger and stronger? [Continue.]

I know everything that we need. We cannot deny that we are following the same historical formula. Who should be responsible for this? Each of us. Abel should take the responsibility. We should be responsible for that. You should be responsible from your head down to your foot.

Are you united with Japanese women? If you don’t speak Japanese and the women don’t speak English, what should you do? Will the archangel follow Eve or Eve follow the archangel? You should speak Japanese.

The woman’s responsibility is the mother’s responsibility. Women have a difficult mission. Western civilization has been in the plus position, and the Oriental world has been in the minus position. How can those positions be exchanged? Only by me.

Now you understand the role of women on the front line. Centering on the mother, Cain and Abel can unite with the true Adam. When the mother embraces Cain and Abel, a worldwide brotherhood and sisterhood is created. This is the women’s mission.

What is the individual role of women? Because Eve fell, the elder son, Adam, was chased out and Heavenly Father was chased out. Because of the fall, Eve lost the elder son and the father. According to the Old Testament teachings, the law of restitution is eye for eye and tooth for tooth. Because of satanic Eve’s actions, God uses heavenly Eve to restore everything.

Rebecca’s Mission

irst, Rebecca helped betray the elder son and helped her younger son restore the elder sonship. The second son had to gain the birthright, or the elder sonship. Centering on Rebecca, Jacob, the second son, was restored as the elder son. What kind of mother would let her younger son take ownership of everything that belonged to the elder son? For the second son, Jacob, to get the blessing, Isaac and Esau were betrayed. This is the process of restoration. Thousands and thousands of years ago Heavenly Father started the history of restoration.

Twenty-one years after fighting with Esau, Jacob headed back to his home town beyond the Jabbok River. Jacob was sleeping in the desert near the Jabbok River when suddenly the archangel came and asked, “Why are you sleeping here? Wake up!” They began to fight. They fought all night. When it was morning the angel begged to be released. “Unless you bless me I will not let you go,” Jacob replied. The archangel said that Jacob had won the victory not only over men but over God, and he gave him the name Israel.

Jacob was in Adam’s position. His victory meant that Adam dominated the archangel and restored the Garden of Eden. The invisible archangel was completely subjugated by Jacob; then the substantial archangel, Esau, could be automatically subjugated. Thus Jacob got the birthright and could go back to the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

Tamar’s Mission

acob got the victory over the invisible archangel and the substantial archangel, but still the fallen world had started from Eve’s womb. The period of life up until forty years of age remained to be restored. In place of Rebecca, Tamar became the central figure. Tamar betrayed her husband and father-in-law. Because Tamar knew how precious the blood lineage was, she risked her life to preserve this blood lineage. Tamar’s husband had died without fathering a child. In the Israelite tradition, if a husband died without fathering a boy, his younger brother should take the widow as a wife. But the second son avoided his role. Tamar waited for the third son, but he was still young. Women have a special time period in which they can have a baby. Although it was difficult, she decided to approach her father-in-law, Judah. Thus Tamar dressed as a prostitute.

Could you do that? [No answer.] These are not my words. This is the historical background. The satanic root must be removed.

In Rebecca’s case, her two children fought within the womb. She prayed to God to understand why there was such a struggle. God told her that two nations were fighting within her womb; the bigger nation would become weak and the smaller one would become strong.

Tamar also prayed to God and got the same answer: the stronger would become weak and the weaker would become strong. The midwife put a red ribbon on the hand of the baby whose hand came out first. That was Zerah. Then he pulled his hand in. Therefore, within the mother’s womb, the blood lineage was changed, and the second son became the elder son.

Do you understand? This was the first time in human history that the elder son and younger son changed positions within the womb. This was an ultra-victory course, an internal victory. On the foundation of Tamar, Heavenly Father was able to have direct dominion freely.

The chosen nation started from this point. It was an astonishing thing that chosen people could emerge on earth. This was the historic start of God’s ability to freely control, beginning from the environment of the womb. The historic victorious foundation started from this point. From this eternal change of blood lineage came the Israelite nation. On this foundation the messiah could come.

It took 2,000 years for the messiah to come. Because the satanic world had already developed to the national level, the heavenly side should also reach the national level. The Cain-type foundation in the satanic world had reached the national level, but God’s side didn’t have that national base. It took 2,000 years to reach that level. For 2,000 years the Israelite people went through difficulties: they were enslaved, they were captured by other nations. They had to cleanse the stained blood lineage.

Mary’s Mission

hen Mary came in order to restore the position of Abel on a national level. On the national level, Mary betrayed the elder son and husband when she betrayed Joseph and the father of Joseph. Joseph’s parents were dreaming beautiful dreams about the children that their son’s future wife would bear, but she completely destroyed this dream by becoming pregnant before marriage. They heard that Mary had become pregnant. Joseph was in Adam’s position. Eve had betrayed Adam and went to hell. Now Adam had to save Eve (Mary) and restore her.

If Joseph had said the baby was not his, Mary and Jesus would have had to die. He saved Mary and Jesus. That was a tremendous, amazing thing. From the family level to the national and worldwide levels, all historic conditions were indemnified at this time. Why did such a thing happen? Because Eve was tempted by the archangel, she had to restore the archangel. Otherwise, there was no way for him to return to his original position. Originally, Mary should have restored the national-level mission, but she failed.

The Failure of Christianity

fter World War II, Great Britain was in the mother’s role, in the position of Eve; America was in Abel’s position and France in Cain’s position. England represented the Christian civilization as well as the Holy Spirit position; it was the center of the spiritual civilization of Christianity. Forty days after Jesus’ resurrection, the Holy Spirit descended to earth in order to restore the physical world. Because the Christian civilization did not accept the Lord of the Second Advent after World War II, the time for restoration came around again forty years later.

On Cain’s side were Japan, Germany and Italy. Originally, the Lord of the Second Advent was to bring a spiritual civilization to Japan, Germany and Italy, representing the material civilization. These two should have united, as plus and minus, and accepted the Lord of the Second Advent. The unified foundation of spiritual civilization and physical civilization would become the minus position in relation to Heavenly Father and True Parents, as the big plus. If they had united, a peaceful, unified world would have developed.

However, Christianity did not accept me. The peaceful, unified world was lost. Heavenly Father and I were chased out into the wilderness after World War II. Every foundation was lost. Just as in the Garden of Eden, the heavenly Adam and Heavenly Father were chased out. Korea was divided into north and south; Kim Il Sung ruled North Korea as the false parent, while True Parents were in South Korea. The two nations fought each other, and the north attacked the south.

Creating a National-Level Foundation

eventy days after the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Unification Church, Kim Il Sung died. Seventy days after I declared Godism and heavenly thought, Gorbachev and the Soviet empire declined. Now Kim Il Sung is gone, and Gorbachev is my younger brother. This means that kingship can be restored. Without me, it is impossible to unify North and South Korea. I have been working for forty years to restore the situation that existed at the end of World War II. I have been working through Japan, America and Germany to indemnify those lost years. Now we can make a new heavenly model nation. Within the Korean peninsula, as I become the plus and the Korean people become the minus, the fatherland can be unified; North and South Korea will be united. On the worldwide level, North America is in the plus position and South America is in the minus position; if they unite centering on me, a worldwide nation will emerge. Because of this we desperately need to cooperate centering on South America.

Among Japan, America and Germany, America is in the Abel position and Germany is in the Cain position in relationship to the new bride nation. Centering on True Mother, America and Germany are uniting and moving toward Japan. Taking the reversal course, Cain and Abel must unite through the mother, Japan. Centering on the U.S. Congress and the whole United Nations, unity can be achieved. This becomes the horizontal foundation which can be raised up vertically. The archangel caused Eve to fall; in the reversal course, Eve should restore the archan gel.

Because Mother doesn’t have the national-level foundation, I am sending out 1,600 Japanese women. When Mother came to Japan for her speaking tour, she spoke to the Japanese Diet (Congress). The American Congress and Japanese Diet could connect as Cain and Abel to the mother and, through her, return to the father. Because of that foundation, she could connect to the Korean Congress. On this foundation, the second-generation people in both north and south can be united, and the unification of the Korean peninsula will be completed. Within the Korean peninsula, four factions have been fighting: the pro-Japanese, pro-Chinese, pro-Russian and pro-American. The second generation is completely different; when they completely unite with True Parents, the peninsula can be unified. When Mother spoke on forty university campuses, the leftist student groups completely united with CARP, enabling CARP to restore the elder sonship centering on Mother. Now all the leftist students in Korea are connected to CARP. South Korean students, in the plus position, and North Korean students, in the minus position, are unifying to hold the Asian rally that I am promoting.

Mother’s role centers on the Women’s Federation for World Peace. When CARP is completely united with her, there will be no more fighting with communists. Now is the time for the unification of the Korean peninsula. The vertical foundation of 160 should be connected horizontally to 160 nations. Within the satanic realm there is fighting, but I am working to horizontally unify 160 nations. How can we help underdeveloped countries? We need to unify the horizontal world, restore the history of fighting, pay indemnity and connect to True Parents. Shall we do it?

In South America, Uruguay is in the plus position and Paraguay is in the minus position. On this foundation Brazil and Argentina can also completely unite as plus and minus. When these two pluses and minuses unite, all of South America can unite, creating a godly national base. That is a special site for God’s providence. How can we make a new country? I don’t want America, Brazil or the European realm. I don’t want some high-level satanic country. Instead, I want to build up the lowest country. The time for highly-developed countries with grand buildings has passed. Pride and arrogance destroy everything. I was in the lowest position, but I always make bigger and bigger plans. I am just in a servant position. We must go over the satanic world.

You need to know that the formula for restoration starts with the family. Re-creation follows the same formula.

[After a break for lunch, Father resumed speaking, listing the following directions and commenting on them:]

I will give direction to you. On February 2, 1995 at the national leaders conference following True Parents’ Birthday, the following directions were given:

I. New start of true ancestor and true nation

A. Resolve the resentment of the fallen family.

B. Indemnify the Blessed family.

C. Go toward the perfected family.

In this world there are three kinds of families: fallen families, Blessed families and perfected families. Blessed families have not yet reached the completion level. Because of that I gave the Family Pledge and the Family Federation for Unification and World Peace.

1. Establish new ancestor and new country. We should be the

new first ancestors.

2. Inherit True Parents’ tradition.

3. Unify mind and body, unify husband and wife, and unify parents and children.

The family is the original unit. On that foundation we unify the family, the nation and the world. The family is the fundamental unit.

4. Centering on the Family Pledge, we can complete the family.

5. Establish elder sonship, parenthood and kingship.

6. Establish a new heaven and earth and a new model nation.

7. Establish a new culture, the unified culture of the new country.

II. True Parents’ victorious realm and the unification of the United Nations.

A. Federation for World Peace

B. Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace

C. Women’s Federation for World Peace

D. World CARP

E. Youth Federation for World Peace

I am working to unify the divided UN. Centering on True Mother, mind and body should be united. The Federation for World Peace is the extension of the body, and the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace is the extension of the mind. Because of the human fall, mind and body have been divided. How can they be united on the worldwide level? True Mother and True Parents are in the plus position in relation to the worldwide mind (IRFWP) and the worldwide body (FWP), which together stand in the minus position to True Parents.

True Mother is represented on the individual level, the family level, the national level, the worldwide level, the cosmic level and the level of Heavenly Father. These six stages center on True Mother. All mothers are extensions of True Mother. Horizontally, high school students are plus, or Abel, and college students are minus, or Cain. Because the younger children are closer to True Mother, they have the plus position. All eight stages of plus and minus should unite centering on Mother; eight levels of children should be completely united in the minus position to True Mother. [Father writes on the blackboard:] The Youth Federation for World Peace is in the Cain position, while high school and college students are in the Abel position; they should form vertical and horizontal unity centering on True Mother. The big plus position is religion, represented by the IRFWP, and finally the FWP.

All five organizations will integrate into a new UN. Until today the United Nations has represented only the political realm. Why do True Parents need to focus on unifying the United Nations? Because of the fall, Eve’s mind and body were separated, and there was a division between older children and younger children. Thus in the worldwide providence, everything will be restored centering on True Mother. Through True Mother’s complete unity with True Father, and Father’s complete unity with Heavenly Father, everything that was lost in the Garden of Eden will be restored. Through the United Nations, we can connect to the whole world and unite the whole world. The world is the extension of the family. Students, centering on True Mother, will form a big plus in relationship to the big minus formed by the IRFWP and FWP. Centering on True Mother, mind and body must be completely united, and on that foundation True Mother goes to unite with True Father; then all children, young and old, will all be completely unified, resulting in the unification of the whole world. That is the mission of the Blessed family.

Why am I planning a new model nation? That will be the model nation which the whole world will follow. Because the family fell in the Garden of Eden, we will restore everything through the family. The True Family will connect to the eight stages that were lost. Through this we can restore every stage of the historical foundation.

Until today the United Nations has only represented the body; it does not represent the mind, the mothers, the students, or the youth. Centering on Mother is equivalent to WFWP. Cain and Abel on all eight levels need to connect to Mother. Centering on True Mother, all mothers should connect to high school and college students. They are Abel, and other youth are Cain. Through mothers they connect to True Mother and then to True Father and Heavenly Father. In this way, we can unite the world.

Because of Eve’s fall, mind and body were separated, children were separated, and everything was separated. To restore everything centering on the family, especially the mother, everything needs to turn around 180 degrees and come back to the original point.

The standard or model nation needs to be created. In my plan Paraguay and Uruguay will unite vertically, while Brazil and Argentina will unite horizontally as left and right. Centering on these four nations, the model nation will be created. Centering on these four nations, it will be easy to expand to the thirty-two nations of South America. Then North America as plus and South America as minus can easily be united. Until today the North American Protestant civilization and the Latin American Catholic civilization have been fighting each other. However, they need to stop fighting, reconcile with each other, and form one large America. Until today European Protestants and Catholics have been fighting. Although they have the common base of Christianity, it is very difficult to unite Catholicism and Protestantism. I am making a foundation and centering on South and North America, which can become the formula for the unification of all Europe.

God’s original plan was for the Roman Empire, centering on Christianity, to guide the world. But the Roman Empire centered on itself and used Christianity. That was a big problem. They should have sacrificed themselves centering on the Christian civilization and dedicated themselves to living for the world, but that didn’t work at that time. All the Israelite people, centering on Judaism, should have sacrificed themselves for the sake of the world; that was God’s plan. But the Israelite people could not do that. They have the same role as Abel. Abel is the center of the family, but Abel should sacrifice himself for the family and the family should sacrifice itself for the world.

We should prepare for a big transition. Because of that I established a sisterhood relationship between America and Japan. Later there will be a Men’s Federation for World Peace, which will establish brotherhood relationships. The World CARP and YFWP will do the same.

III. Big Transition Period

A. Transition period of blood lineage.

Because a woman fell, the blood lineage will be reversed centering on women and True Mother.

B. Transition period of ownership.

God wanted to give the ownership to Adam and Eve but they lost it. Centering on Eve everything must be regained and brought back to the father’s side. That is the big transition period of ownership.

C. Transition period of heartistic realm.

In the heartistic realm, three stages are especially important: the individual, family and tribe. To restore these three stages of the heartistic realm, we should do tribal messiah work and restore 160 families.

D. Registration in the heavenly kingdom on earth.

Once we have restored the ownership, blood lineage and heartistic realm, we have the foundation to register as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

E. Transfer of the fatherland of the unified world. That is our new model nation.

F. The Kingdom of Heaven on earth and the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven.

On the foundation of the unified Kingdom of Heaven on earth and Kingdom of Heaven in heaven, we can transfer to God’s side. After we make the foundation on earth and the foundation in heaven, we can transfer. This is the only way we can register in the new Kingdom of Heaven. The completion of ideal love is the turning point of perfection and liberation. Perfection of the ideal brings complete liberation through True Love. [Mr. Oyamada and Father had difficulty trying to translate this concept. Mr. Oyamada said, “You should learn Korean.”]

Even Heavenly Father and True Parents have not been able to unite one hundred percent centering on God’s ideal, because of the fallen world. The fallen world must be completely nullified in order for us to transfer to God’s side. On that foundation, Heavenly Father and True Parents will become completely united.

G. On the foundation of the perfection of the ideal of love,

Heavenly Father and True Parents can transfer to the heavenly side.

That’s a big title. It means the construction of a new system and a new order. What does this mean? Human beings and all creation must be united. Human beings are in the plus position, and all things are in the minus position. Their relationship should be like that of a unified mind and body. Our mind represents heaven and our body represents all things. In restoration history, mind and body have been divided; the mind has been on one side and the body on the other. However, from now on, everything should be united, like mind and body, and be restored back to God. People should unite mind and body, and their activities, such as witnessing and fundraising, should harmonize. Our care for material things is represented by fundraising and our care for spiritual things is represented by witnessing. In heaven we will strengthen both our mind and our body.

Then the whole world will become just like one nation or one family, centering on True Parents and Heavenly Father. Within the nation there are men and women. Both men and women belong to the spiritual world and the physical world. The mind is connected to the spiritual world and the body is connected to the physical world. Both men and women need to develop mind/body unity. Do you follow this?

The nation is automatically the extension of the family. Because of that, we desperately need the family and the nation. Because of that, we should invest sacrificially for the nation and for the world. All families and all nations should work to establish a new model nation. This is our direction. The individual lives for the family, the family lives for the nation, and the nation lives for the world. We should invest and forget, always sacrificing ourselves for the higher dimension. What kind of people can be central figures? Those who invest more and forget more. From now on, we will keep records of the amount of money people dedicate each month to create this new nation. That will be our heavenly tradition, showing our filial piety to ten generations of ancestors, investing and forgetting as we sacrifice for the heavenly kingdom on earth. This is the kind of system we should construct.

[Father called the next point number three, but on the tape there was no mention of a preceding number one or number two.]

3. Centering on the family, we need professional education.

First we made some physical or material foundation. From now on, we witness to restore people from the satanic world to the heavenly nation. That is the 1-1-1 formula: one person per member per month. If we restore one person per member per month for seven years, that makes eighty-four people. The eighty-four people include the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ and the seventy-two elders. That is the foundation to connect the tribal level to the worldwide level. We should pay indemnity for the failure of Jesus’ course; that is the meaning of the 1-1-1 formula. We absolutely need to fulfill our mission of tribal messiah. I asked Rev. Kwak to make a form that can be distributed worldwide; we should develop materials and make certificates. How much we contributed or dedicated to the heavenly world will set the tradition for the next six generations.

4. United Nations.

We should establish a new system that transcends national borders. Within the heavenly kingdom white, yellow and black people should live with no racial discrimination. No discrimination should be allowed in the heavenly civilization.

5. We should prepare leaders who can educate the whole society in each nation.

Social educators and instructors are needed. Centering on the church, we will educate leaders to serve the people of each nation.

What is the position of the Unification Church in relationship to the Family Federation for Unification and World Peace? In the formula of restoration, one side is plus and the other side is minus. The Family Federation is plus and in the subject position, while the Unification Church is in the minus position. So the Unification Church just follows the Family Federation. The roles of subject and object had not been established in the past, but this should be clear from now on.

Twice a month, on the first and fifteenth days, each family should have a pledge service and hold a family meeting. As members of the Family Federation, you have a firm responsibility to educate people. Don’t give your own speech. Read the Divine Principle book and the books of Father’s words. Teach your relatives what True Parents have done. That is the formula course. We have many materials. Show the videotapes of the ceremonies; show the videotapes of what True Parents have done.

Each Blessed family should have the books of my sermons and all current materials. The Family Federation should prepare them and make them available. I instructed Rev. Kwak to collect all information and make reports on what is going on. We should not cease our efforts. We should continue to work hard. We should make living materials, not dead ones.

Until today, we have not had systematic training. True Parents have showed the tradition and set the standard. You can succeed horizontally by doing what True Parents have done. You have the truth that True Parents have given you — not your own. Deliver this truth to the world. Not to do so is a very big crime, a big sin.

As tribal messiahs you should be responsible for all the families and relatives. Later you will be national-level messiahs. As a messiah you must take care of everything that is happening in your nation and be responsible for it. We will organize people as family messiahs, tribal-level messiahs, national-level messiahs and worldwide-level messiah. As messiahs you should always compare yourselves to Father, the worldwide messiah, and the hard work he has been doing until now. As a family messiah, are you working harder than me? The worldwide messiah works so hard! In your limited area, you have to work harder than me. True parents are needed on the family base, tribal base, and national base. To be a messiah means to be a parent, investing and forgetting from the parent’s position. As children of True Parents you should think of what True Parents are doing. With that determination in a short period of time, you can go beyond the level of a family messiah and become tribal and national level messiahs, approaching even the level of worldwide messiah. As the sons and daughters of True Parents, you should rise to the level of national messiahs. That is my original plan.

Centering on your family there should be twelve families. On that foundation of twelve families you need seventy-two families for the tribal level. Twelve represents Jacob’s course, seventy-two represents Moses’ course, 120 represents Jesus’ course, and 160 represents the course of the Lord of the Second Advent. True Parents are working on a worldwide level to restore 160 nations; you should follow Jesus’ course.

I gave In Jin Nim the title of Chuk sa jang, meaning the “blessing-control chief.” As a family-level messiah you absolutely must restore twelve families. The requirement for tribal level Chuk sajang is seventy-two Blessed couples, and the requirement for the national level is 120 Blessed couples. The requirement for the worldwide level is 160 Blessed couples. Centering on 120 families you can connect to 120 nations. With 72 Blessed couples you can connect to 72 nations. Do you understand? Through this we can save all the satanic nations. Your mission is to send twelve Blessed couples as overseas missionaries.

[Father writes on the blackboard.] This is plus and minus. When plus and minus are united, universal power and heavenly fortune will support us. This is the formula of re-creation. Centering on Korea, I reach out to the whole world, following the plus/ minus formula of re-creation.

From now on the standard should be set by the seminary graduates. Therefore, the most excellent members should be sent to the seminary. Centering on the ideal family, we will extend to the world. This is the way we will follow.

For this new period, we should make a new system and create a new order. We should keep statistics on the number of hours you invest in fundraising and the number of hours you spend witnessing. Then we can analyze the statistics and set the standard. Your good ancestors will check everything every seven years. On that foundation we will set a standard. The first twenty-one year course was finished and a new twenty-one year course has begun. The first twenty-one year course was from 1960 until 1981. In 1982 the next twenty-one year course started. The third twenty-one year course is to make a new model nation. The purpose of the worldwide course is to make a new model nation. We should be responsible to invest in the establishment of a new model nation. Bring a bulldozer or some heavy machinery and dedicate it for making a new model nation. Members of 160 nations will work to establish that nation.

The Japanese women are working. Next the women of the archangelic world will work hard. Eve nation women and archangel nation women join together to separate from the fallen world and connect to heaven. How hard will American women work? The women of the archangelic world should set a new archangelic tradition. This is something that the women, not the men, need to do. The women representatives of the Eve nation and the archangelic nation women must work hard and set a new tradition. Do you understand? Really, these are not my words. This is the viewpoint of the principle of restoration. You should proudly do hard work, bending your backs to do hard work. Will you follow Father’s way? [Women answer: Yes!]

I am sending brother missionaries from Korea to forty nations and ten Japanese sisters to each of the 160 nations. True Mother spoke at forty universities in Korea, and on that foundation Koreans were sent out to forty countries; each of those countries represents four nations. Forty times four is 160. Each country should expand its membership to 4,000; then they will establish sisterhood bonds. That is the future plan. True Mother set the heavenly standard. Mother sacrificed and made a foundation; within one year each nation should expand to 4,000 members. Within each group of four nations, there should be 16,000 members who can establish sisterhood bonds; this will eliminate so much hostility. On that foundation I prepared 160,000 sisterhood pairs. These forty nations, each representing four nations (160 nations altogether) will hold sisterhood ceremonies.

During the Korean War young people from sixteen nations were mobilized. The number sixteen is a multiple of four. The number four is the total satanic number. The Cold War started from the Korean peninsula. People from 160 nations attended the 1988 Olympic Games in Korea. On the foundation of the Olympic Games, North and South Korea were admitted as members of the United Nations: North Korea was the 160th member and South Korea the 161st member. To indemnify the number 160, I sent sisters to 160 nations and instructed each nation to grow to 4,000 members.

Now brotherhood ceremonies between Korean and Japanese men have been held, with 16,000 participants. All of this is to indemnity the satanic number four and restore it to God’s side. Because of the human fall we lost the four-position foundation. From Adam’s fall until the time of Noah was 1,600 years. Those of you who attended this ceremony should return to your own country and raise up 4,000 people to participate in this sisterhood ceremony. Every country leader should focus on how to get 4,000 women to participate in a sisterhood ceremony. If you make such a condition, the blessing of the connection between America and Japan will go to your descendants. Then all the surrounding countries can participate in the same partnership foundation. If you fulfill this, heavenly fortune will always protect you.

Our coming big wedding is based on the number thirty-six, which is four times nine. Nine is also a satanic number. Nine plus one is ten, and the number ten means reaching heaven.

National representatives, please raise your hands. Each state should have some kind of sisterhood ceremony. If one state has a thousand participants, that will be a powerful foundation when elections are being held. Shall we do this? American side, how would you like? [Do!] The Japanese side has no problem; they always make complete preparations. Can you continue the sisterhood activity on a large scale, involving more Christian women leaders? Do you understand? [Yes.] This is the only hope for the survival of the Christian world. When women register, men will follow automatically. Men are no problem in America, because every woman is the owner of the home. Is that true? [Yes, I guess so.] Not guess. It is really so. [Laughter.] Women are the key to reaching the men’s realm and making it strong. If you can make women strong, the men are no problem. Women are like the needle and men are like the thread. This is true. I understand clearly.

So we should continue. Please, when you return to your home state, find 4,000 women to participate in sisterhood ceremonies; these people will be the new hope of the nation. If you do not do this by the next election, they will die. You should have this kind of strong foundation in every state. These sisterhood relationships will give you added power. Many senators and congressmen are interested in this activity. They think it is beautiful to have queenly power in their state. At election time, you can connect male leaders with these women. To gather a thousand women in one place will be no problem.

Is this a hopeful world or a hopeless world? [Hopeful!] Do you think so? I have that kind of power all over the world. The Parents’ Day proclamation was signed within seventy-four days. It normally takes fourteen years to get such a proclamation passed.

There are no enemies, no obstacles in front of us. Use the subject/object pattern to advance. Cain will follow us then.

God’s springtime love is visiting the earth. The seeds of spring have the power to grow and produce flowers. Butterfly and birds will visit the flowers. All that is necessary is one springtime seed. So shall we decide to do this? Those who decide not to do so, raise your hand. [Laughter.] Someone was sleeping in the back and didn’t hear me, so I will repeat: raise your hand. [Laughter.] [Father speaks in Japanese:] Japanese members, do you understand? Any problem? Mr. Kamiyama, do you understand? Yes! I am planning to send famous American leaders to Japan. [Father asks various Japanese leaders and they respond.]

By now you have received enough from True Parents. You are representing True Parents. As kings and queens in place of True Parents, you should do your national mission. How do you feel? How many members will you gain?

I may invite the best of you on a world tour. I may pick the top fundraisers and witnessers and make them examples for the whole world. I may give an outstanding person a position in a worldwide business. If people are evaluated according to their achievements, no one can complain. Such a time has come. In elementary school and high school students are evaluated and on that foundation are recommended for a higher level. Not only good things and bad things will be checked, but everything will be checked and evaluated. Therefore, all the national leaders should prepare such a kind of system.

Now I am preparing new leaders, centering on UTS and Bridgeport. I want to train at least 4,000 centering on Bridgeport, Barrytown and Sun Moon University; then I can choose people and send them to the whole world.

Until today I just paid indemnity and didn’t check anything. From now on, everything will depend on your fulffllment or achievement. Now the time has come for me to check everything. I am preparing a standardized form to check. I will examine the computer records of our worldwide movement, and if there is good achievement, True Parents may visit these countries. We will send some students to be the future leaders. Church activity and student activity will be recorded every month and every year. Centering on the World Mission Department, a recording system will start. Centering on the Chuk sa jang, everything will be prepared.

All leaders should be seminary graduates; otherwise you are not professional church leaders. Even I graduated from seminary in Korea. I am also planning to establish a graduate-level seminary at Bridgeport University.

Is this sparking the imagination in your brain? Do you have a clear concept?

[Father speaks in Japanese.]

Everybody stand up, please. The main leaders have to make preparations to drive bulldozers and heavy machinery. Do you understand? Woman leaders, too.

[Everybody bows to True Parents and joins in cheers of mansei.]

REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

TRUE ANCESTOR
AND TRUE NATION

February 5, 1995
World Mission Center, New York
Translator — Peter Kim

Congratulations! to all of you because this is the 50th year since the end of World War II. This is a turning point in human history. Because of Father’s victory, a new history is beginning. Father gives congratulations to all of you.

Today is True Parents’ Birthday celebration. This is such a special birthday. If we expand the meaning or significance of the birthday of True Parents, this is the celebration day for the entire True Family. Father would like to call In Jin Nim’s couple to the stage and celebrate another special occasion with all of you.

Until this point in history, there have been and are millions of Christian ministers and pastors all over the world. Within our movement, we have many ministers who work in a capacity as pastors and reverends, but Father never officially ordained anyone. Because of the victorious foundation True Parents have won, now the True Family can stand upon this victory. Since Father’s second daughter, In Jin Nim, recently graduated from Harvard Divinity School, Father would like to officially ordain In Jin Nim as the first official reverend of Unification Church. (Applause.)

This is a triple celebration. First, it is True Parent’s Birthday; second, Father is ordaining In Jin Nim as the first Unification minister; and, third, Jin Sung Nim, In Jin Nim’s husband received his Ph.D. yesterday. He received a scholarship from Columbia University after graduating from Harvard University. He studied at Columbia University and went back and forth between Harvard and Columbia. He received the scholarship to finish his Ph.D. Therefore, today we will celebrate In Jin Nim becoming the official pastor of Unification Church and Jin Sung Nim’s receiving his Ph.D. Let’s invite both of them to the stage. (Applause.) There is also one more significance here, Jin Sung Nim is the first among the True Family members to obtain a Ph.D. (Applause.) Let’s welcome them!

(Father is writing on the chalk board.) Let’s use this one (pointing to a Chinese character) as a pronoun because chuk stands for a celebration, and sajang is like a priest or judge in the old Judaism tradition who did all the worshipping and sacrifice and rituals. Chuksajang is also like a priest of the Catholic Church or a reverend or minister of a Protestant church, but Father added one more task to this minister and that is to celebrate blessings. There will be different levels of chuksajang in the future. The hierarchy will follow in such a way: family level, tribal level, national level and worldwide level. We should say “Chuksajang!” right now. (All respond, “Chuksajang!”) Father will officially pray to ordain In Jin Nim as “Chuksajang.” (Father prays in Korean. Mother gives her own ring to In Jin Nim to commemorate this moment. (Applause.)

Today’s topic is “cham chosang qua cham choguk,” “True Ancestor and True Nation.” Because of the Fall of man, humankind never had true ancestors and true people. At the same time God had no true position as “God.” God initially wanted to see a true family, a true tribe, a true nation and a true world established, but because of the Fall of man He never had it. That’s why we, as human beings, have a responsibility to find our true ancestors and a true family, in order to find a true nation. Because of the Fall of man, the world has been dominated by Satan. No matter what people have received, peace, happiness, harmony or whatever, it didn’t have anything to do with God; everything has been false.

When we look at the world, all is confused and lost, chaotic. Through the history of restoration, God has been restoring the false world to a true world, true family, true nation, true world, where true peace, true happiness and true harmony can be established. Right now, it is on the verge of perishing. There is no center in the world; on the individual level, the family level, the society level, the national level and the worldwide level, there is no center. This is why people are lost and confused; they don’t know which direction they are going. We must understand this kind of phenomenon in light of God’s providence. The world has been under satanic domination. This world must end one way or another before we receive the true Messiah who comes as True Parents for all mankind. True Parents and the new civilization will begin from the individual level, going to the national level, the worldwide level and the cosmic level. This is an inevitable phenomenon. Centering on True Parents, the new world develops and emerges in exactly the opposite way that it developed under Satan. Satan finally fails and loses everything. Everything is turned over to God’s side. This is the crossing point, the turning point. That’s why Father gave this year’s motto, “Let’s Inherit True Parents’ Realm of Victory.” In other words, this victory is not just True Parents’, but God’s victory as well. God and True Parents want to share this victory with all mankind, who are in the position of children of True Parents. All of this is based on the law of indemnity. Due to the Fall of man, Adam and Eve did not have absolute faith and an absolute vertical relationship with God. Therefore, this is the time that we have to establish absolute faith in God and establish an absolute vertical relationship as children of God centered on True Parents and True Love. In this way, the dominion of God is restored.

Now we have this privilege, because True Parents are totally united with God. Father has established an absolute line of faith centered on God and established an absolute father and son relationship centered on God. We only have to follow True Parents’ footsteps and we will receive the same blessing, enjoy the same privilege. Do you understand? Like Father centering on God absolutely, you must center on True Parents absolutely. You must combine absolute faith and absolute love for True Parents. This connection makes one body. (Father explains in English.) God is turning, True Parents are turning and man is turning, becoming one body going from Satan’s side to God’s side. Do you understand?

Let’s talk about the true ancestor. A man cannot forget his hometown. Why? Because that is where our ancestors’ lineage still remains. From generation to generation, our ancestors lived there and their memories are still there. The meaning of the nation or state is the protector of the hometown. That’s why we cannot forget or deny our hometown or nation because, centered on love, it is our foundation. We can live in our hometown and our nation will protect and secure us. We must remember our hometown and cherish the meaning of our nation.

People did not know that all hometowns and nations throughout history were all under satanic domination. There has never been any true hometown or true nation under God until this point because of the Fall of man.

There are 240 million people living in America alone. We have our hometowns and we have our nation, America. No one can deny that our hometown in this country, America, was not made or initiated by God. It is still under satanic domination. It does not belong to God. We must understand this point clearly! Once we clearly understand this that our hometown and our nation still belong to Satan, then we can understand the meaning of the true hometown and the true nation.

America is the leading country of the free world and the entire world; but let’s look at this situation honestly. Is America really qualified to be a true nation, which can lead the world according to God’s will?

This country, America, is a melting pot. There are numerous problems here, racial problems, discrimination problems and all kinds of social problems. How did all these problems occur? Who caused them? The simple answer is man and woman! Why? Because they were not true man and woman. Today, there are about 2,000 people, here in the audience; however, at the same time Father sees about 2,000 different characters and different ways of thinking.

Man and woman were originally created by God, who is absolutely omniscient and omnipotent. Men should have a certain standard or formula to live by and take after God. Vice versa, woman should also have that. If man and woman lived this certain standard, then they would be called “true man” and “true woman.” The fundamental problem is that man and woman are not totally united and, therefore, do not live with God’s standard.

What is the meaning of man and woman? One is concave and one is convex. So why are they shaped differently, concave and convex, not flat? (Father drawing on the chalk board.) This is the love organ given by God. In philosophy, there is a problem deciding which comes first, matter or spirit. The entire universe exists for the sake of love and because of love. When we look at the mineral world, the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom and mankind, all are divided into two, positive and negatIve. The animal kingdom is divided into two, male and female. The mineral kingdom is divided into positive and negative, i.e. electricity. Why do they exist in dual characteristics? Because they have to make a circular motion. Once there is a circular motion, what comes next? Action! Action initiates energy and produces energy. In order to have this kind of circular motion, one single man or woman can’t do that. There has to be a subject and object relationship, a reciprocal relationship. Without a subject and object relationship, there will be no circular movement in the entire universe from mineral kingdom to man.

How did this universe start to emerge? By giving or by taking, by investing or receiving? What was it? What was the starting point? (Giving!) After giving, should we remember that we gave, or just give back and keep giving? Eventually, what happens? When we give and forget, this proves that we are giving for the sake of love. If you remember that you gave, then this is not the practice of True Love. You have to forget and then give again. That is one formula. Another formula is that every existing being wants to see its love partner better than itself. Ten times or one hundred times, which one? One hundred or unlimited times? lnfinite, better. The love partners for a woman are her husband and her children. What about for man? Man’s love partners are his wife and his children. This makes a harmonious relationship. Man wants woman, woman wants man, children, mothers and fathers are all interrelated. Where can we find unification in men and women? If you are proud of yourself as a man there is no unification and vice versa, for woman. If you a just being proud of being a woman, a pretty woman, there is no unification. Where can we find unification? We have to learn from God. God created the universe by offering Himself first and giving infinitely. Just as God invested Himself infinitely, so when man gives infinitely of himself for the sake of his love partner, and vice versa woman gives of herself for her love partner, then they can find unification.

The next question is, what is the meaning of true man and true woman? True man and true woman are the ones who resemble Father in giving and forgetting and giving and forgetting. Giving for the sake of others or for the sake of your partner and living that kind of life for the sake of your love partner are so called true man and true woman. Why? This is the formula for True Love. Do you understand?

Rev. Moon recognizes Dr. Richard Rubenstein’s couple over there. Have you become a true husband and a true wife, a true man and a true woman? In your marriage life, you should never calculate your money saying, this much for my husband and this much for me. (Laughing.) You should not have two savings accounts or checking accounts. Everything should be one. (Applause.) Do you agree? Yes, they do. (Applause.)

All existing beings in this world, from the mineral kingdom to the world of man and woman, everything exists in subject and object relationship for the sake of love. The different levels of existence have different levels of love, making motion and action. The minus or object is making a circular motion, but it does not want to remain as a minus, it is longing to become a plus or subject. Their purpose is to increase and to add more. By performing circular movement, they want to become bigger and add more for the sake of love. That is the way they can develop and progress. On the other hand, when you move or take action there is a waste of energy. What is the power pushing this kind of circular movement upward, forward and making things bigger? True Love, the power of True Love.

For example, Father is giving love to me, but I shouldn’t be content and satisfied just to receive it. As I receive His love, I should add my own idiosyncracies, my own characteristic elements and return it to Father. Father will receive my love as new and exciting and He will be made fresh. Father will then go up one more level, even higher. He will give love from an even higher level to me and I will respond the same. This process of giving love will occur over and over. This is the way to reciprocate love. At the same time, we will develop and we will become an even larger reservoir for True Love. (Father is drawing a diagram.) Wow! bigger and bigger! This can go on forever.

In our position, no matter how high or how low, we are always seeking an even higher place. Let’s compare this with our life. We begin as a infant, then we progress through kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school and college. We can get our Ph.D. and we also become parents. As we build our career, eventually, what do we want to become? We want to become like God.

Is God masculine or feminine? (Both.) God has both dual characteristics, but how does He appear, as a masculine God or a feminine God? Masculine is in the subject position and the giving place. Feminine is the object and the receiving place. Do you understand? That is why God is portrayed as masculine, the absolute Subject.

Since everything started from God, everything should return to God. There are Christian ministers here and they may be shocked by this statement. What does that mean, that we must return to God? When you are alone for a certain period of time, do you feel lonely or do you feel very excited? (Lonely!) How lonely? Sometimes you feel like dying, because you don’t have anyone to talk to and nothing to do. Suppose a woman has to live her entire life by herseff, without anyone. Will it be a sad or happy life? (Sad life.) Will you shed a lot of tears or will you smile all the time? (Shed a lot of tears.) Suppose you are in that situation: You don’t have anyone to live with, but you have your husband’s handkerchief, a small piece of handkerchief. Do you think you will kiss it? That little piece of handkerchief becomes your object. You are not just a subject alone, but you now have an object. Suppose you are holding one side of the handkerchief and your love partner is holding the other side, gradually, both are getting closer as each takes more of the handkerchief to their side. By the time both hands meet together, you kiss each other. You can keep the handkerchief with you forever to remember your partner. Whenever you miss your love partner, you can always kiss the handkerchief and remember. You can live in that memory and you can dance in that memory. You may look abnormal, but who cares. Father is trying to teach you the value of an object. No matter how small it may be, no matter how insignificant it may be, the object is important. When you get married, you truly want your spouse to be better than yourself, even a hundred times better. Where does this kind of thinking come from? Another fascination you have is to be able to trace your ancestors. Where does this way of thinking come from? God! Yes, God will give you the same answer. If you ask God, “Do you really want to see Your object a hundred times better than You, even a billion times better than You?” God will even get angry and punch you and say “Sure, why do you ask such a silly question! That goes without saying.” God is the first and only Cause. Mankind is the result of the creation, not the cause. If the result is such a way, the cause must also be such a way. Does God need His love partner or not? (Yes!) Father is saying “No!” (Yes!) No matter how big you may be, no matter how famous or prominent you may be, you will become humble in front of truth. Do you understand? Because of this kind of truth, even Dr. Rubenstein needs his wife, absolutely, and Mrs. Rubenstein vice versa needs her husband, absolutely! (Laughter.)

All existing beings in this world, it doesn’t matter whether they are man or animals, exist for the sake of love. If we look at a tree, there is the central bud, the central trunk and the central root. There can be many different small roots and different branches, but let’s talk about the central trunk. There are many leaves as well, and they all come together to make a tree. In other words, it doesn’t matter which branch or leaf it belongs to, eventually, the sap has to go through the central trunk and the central root in order to maintain the life of this particular leaf. No matter how beautiful this particular leaf may be or no matter how strong this branch may look, they all resemble the central trunk and they all have to get nourishment and everything from the central root; they all belong to the central trunk. They can’t become the central trunk or root themselves; they are the object of the central trunk or the central root. If we put numbers for each part of the tree, the central root would be one, the central trunk two and the central bud three. Take one branch of the tree, still the central root is one, the branch is two and the leaves represent three. If they all belong to the central trunk and central root, they all have the same subject. That’s why even though they bear fruit on different parts of the tree, the fruit they bear has the same value, as long as they have the same subject. The fruit they share receives the same nourishment, the same water and the same sweetness that the central trunk and center tree absorb and distribute. The fruit becomes the same kind of fruit.

Let’s compare this to human history, the tree of human history. There is a central root, a central trunk and a central bud common to all mankind. Therefore in God’s eyes, no matter how powerful Americans may be or how rich they may be they still belong to the central root and central trunk. They (Americans) are not the central trunk themselves, they are only the branches of the tree of mankind. There are many different branches and many fruits from the different branches, but they all have the same value because of the same identical trunk. Therefore, when the owner of the orchard comes and sees his trees bearing fruit, do you think he will say, (for example, let’s use apples), “you apples don’t belong to me, you don’t have any value because you are not from the central bud.” No! as long as the fruits are on the same tree they have the same value, right? On the other hand, when the owner of the orchard sees an apple on a lower branch that’s bigger, more beautiful and more delicious than the other ones, even those closer to the center bud, he wants to store it in the best storage place and give it the best care. When we apply this to our lives, no matter how minimal or insignificant your family may be, if your family produces good children, the best quality children, then God will choose these children and store them in His most precious place. That’s the way your family will be held precious. Do you understand? Do you want that? Your family is the key, the family is the most important place! Why did God create the universe? God wanted a love partner. God wanted to have a real partner. Who then is in the position as the love partner to God? A monkey? No! Monkeys laugh by showing their teeth. A man who is supposed to be in the position of love partner to God should jump up and down vertically, not horizontally by showing his teeth. God is up there, so we have to jump up and down. (Laughter.) Don’t you want to grab something higher or do you want to push yourself down further? Higher! We want to go higher all the time, all our life. What is the significance of being a man? We shouldn’t act like animals; instead, we should be proud of being God’s love partner. Have you seen God? Have you touched God? How can you make a partnership with God, if you can’t see or touch God? This is a problem. Therefore, we must know God. Dr. Rubenstein, again, (Laughter.) do you know God? If not, it means you are not totally qualified to be a love partner of God. Once you make a love relationship with anyone, you always have the right of possession. When a love relationship occurs sexually between two people, the couple is unified and ownership takes place. Suppose there is a royal family with many beautiful children. One day a gangster kidnaps one of the children. The gangster and the child become husband and wife. No matter how proud that royal family may be of their child, that gangster claims ownership of that child and no one can deny it. They have to let their child go and live with the gangster because of that unification through the love relationship; ownership takes place. Do you want to give ownership to someone for eternity or only temporarily? Which way do you want it? (Forever!) Forever! Forever. Only through a True Love relationship can ownership take place for eternity.

Free sex practice is Satan’s way of blocking the road to the Kingdom of God on earth. This action doesn’t last. It is a false action. Do you like free sex? (No!) Why? The secular world is making this action all over the world. Since we know the formula of True Love, we don’t like free sex and we want to eliminate that action, absolutely! Since the world is rampant with free sex, do you want to watch it happening and ignore it? Or do you want to take action against it? (Take action!) Take action! Is that right? Will you die working to stop it! Who will? Raise your hands! God doesn’t want to see free sex! This world has become God’s enemy! He hates it!!

Where is your love partner? Where is your subject, your object? What about these women? Why were you born? You were born for love! If the purpose of life is love, how can you get the love for which you were born? You can get it through man. Without man, you, women, cannot find True Love. Never, never, never!! This is the absolute truth! You must only follow this way!

Love must have a subject and a object. The subject, or plus, is represented by the convex shape and the object, or minus, is represented by the concave shape. In this way God created man and woman, plus and minus, to achieve love. Because of love, you are shaped as either convex or concave. Isn’t it true? (Yes!)

To find absolute love, you must find absolute man and absolute woman first. Absolute man alone cannot find absolute love. He needs woman.

American women say that woman is plus, not man. No matter what American women say, they are the minus, the lower part. Why should a man be in the subject position? Why? American women, do you feel bad? When we look at the life of American people, generally the wives are the queens, the masters of the house. (Laughter. Father was imitating a woman going out and a man following.) He opens the door for the woman and says, “please go in.” The man is not just being courteous; he is acting like a servant. Why does this happen in America? Because this is the Last Days. The nation of America is in the position of bride. In order for the bride to receive the Lord of the Second Advent who is coming as the bridegroom, this country should act like a bride. The bride is the queen and bridegroom is the King of Kings. That is why, in America, women are destined to be served as queens; the wife goes before the man. This country represents the bride waiting to receive the bridegroom. Without receiving the bridegroom as the King of Kings, you have no future. In the Last Days, one social problem is that many housewives and mothers will become prostitutes. Prostitutes are in the bottom of hell, the dungeons of hell, because of free sex. Other social problems that occur in the Last Days are alcoholic problems, drug problems and homosexual problems. What is the meaning of “homosexual”? It is man and man or woman and woman sexual union; they deny the opposite sex as a sexual partner. That is truly the end of it, even insects don’t do that. That is the dirtiest thing you can imagine in this world. Once a person is in a homosexual relationship, they are crazy. They don’t know what reality is.

The history of mankind started with false love. This false world now has to end through all kinds of false love in order for the new world to dawn. The world started with false love and all these false lies have been lived; now these false loves and false lies must end. We have to bring a hurricane or storm and wash them away. A heavenly flood should come and wash them away; an earthquake should come, bury them and burn them.

Father is telling you that all these dffferent levels of the world were created because of love. What is the meaning of marriage? Man and woman, each, represent only half of the human race. No matter how famous you may be, no matter how knowledgeable you may be, you are incomplete and do not have a right to go into the Kingdom of Heaven. What can make you total or full? You need love. Through whom? Through your partner. When you become whole, not half, one with your spouse, do you want to become one temporarily or for eternity? (Eternity!) Why? Once anything is totally complete or perfect, it will always be welcome; people will always want to receive it. When you become whole, the entire universe will want to welcome you and will not reject you. When something is perfected, it will be protected by the whole universe and nothing can destroy it. Every thing and every place will be happy. Do you understand? Once again, what does concave (minus) represent? Man or woman? (Woman!) What does convex (plus) represent? Man! Where should convex and concave become one? Should concave come to convex or should convex go to concave or in the middle? The central point, where the vertical line from God passes, is where the convex and concave should meet. That is the eternal point. Man and woman must become one centered on God. When man and woman become totally one, perfectly, like a machine there should be no space, which would make a squeaking sound. Once man and woman become totally one, perfectly united, God Himself, cannot separate them. God will be attracted to them and He could not leave them. Man and woman, totally one, become an object of God. The two of you, together, will become minus to God and God (True Love) will become plus and another unification is made. Once this kind of physical relationship takes place, you will never be separated. You will be in a constant circular movement, in and out, in and out; vertically going up and down, up and down throughout eternity. That is the relationship you will have. Have you tried to swing? You go out and back. If this love couple takes this action and movement, up and down, the entire universe will watch in amazement. They will stare at you like this. (Father demonstrates.) How wonderful that couple is! Is that enjoyable or miserable? (Enjoyable!) God wants to see this forever and ever!

To summarize, man and woman become one and they form another object of True Love. This True Love becomes plus and the love couple become minus. Totally united, they become the body of God! Body of God!! The spirit of God is in the position of plus, like the mind and body relationship. This is like the axis of the universe. Do you understand? Once again, you must understand why women are born. They are born to find love through their True Love partner! Absolutely! They were not born for themselves. Therefore, a women started existing for the sake of a man and vice versa, a man exists for the sake of a woman.

When we say right, we presuppose left. When we say right, we know there is left; otherwise, right, does not make any sense. The same is true of front and rear; by the same token, when we say woman, there is man and man there is woman. Please understand women, you were not born because of you, yourself. The principle of existence is for the sake of others, i.e. man for the sake of woman. (Father is drawing on the board.) Can you distinguish which one is man and which one is woman, or boy or girl? Man has big shoulders and woman has big hips. Which one is up and which one is down, man or woman? On the upper body, man has big shoulders and this symbolizes strength and power. On the lower body, woman has bigger hips and this symbolizes the power to produce children. For example, a seat on a bus can seat three women with big hips. Their hips fill the seat, but the upper part is loose. When the bus turns, all go to one side. (Father demonstrates and the audience laughs.) If there were two women on each side and a man withbig shoulders in the middle, then the seat would be balanced. This is putting it in anatomical terms to demonstrate that our destiny is such a way and that we are meant to be together. Therefore, you women need a man beside you. (Father is drawing the four position foundation on the board.) The shape of a man and a woman together form a perfect square, a balanced shape. The four position foundation also forms a perfect square. Parents, husband and wife, and children form three levels. In the middle where they meet, they kiss first. This is the formation stage, the growth stage and the perfection stage. That is the proper way man’s and woman’s relationships develop. In that way they cannot be separated. Everything in this uruverse exists in the relationship of dual characteristics, plus and minus. Why do we have two eyes, instead of one?

Suppose we have one eye in the middle of our forehead or on the tip of our finger, then we could see whatever we want. God had to follow the principle of creation, subject and object relationship, that is why God created two eyes. Our nose has two holes, instead of one, and we have two ears; all are balanced. Our body is balanced with two arms and two legs. This is the way we are balanced and when we are balanced, we can be perfected. If we were one-sided, either this way or that, we would decline. When we become totally united, we will be totally free. Let’s again use our organs to explain freedom. Suppose one of our eyes is harmed and we cannot see, do we feel happy? No. Take other examples, our nose, our ears and our arms. If one side of our nose is clogged, we feel miserable; if we can only hear out of one ear, we feel uncomfortable; and if we lose one arm, the other arm will be lonely. We cannot feel free and neither can we feel peace or happiness or unification. Without balance, every creature is depressed and cannot feel satisfied. Do you understand?

When you are sick, why do you feel pain? If you ask your medical doctor, he will say you have pain because you are sick. Sickness occurs when one part of your body or mind is unbalanced. Your mind and body must be united at all times. The universal force is putting pressure on the unbalanced being and chasing or pushing it out. The law of universe is to protect the united subject and object totally. If there is no balance or unity, the universal law will not allow the existence to be sustained. The pushing power of the universe gives you pain, so you will seek balance. For example, when you lose your spouse, you feel pain in your heart. The universal power is pushing you and making you feel that you are unbalanced. To be balanced, man and woman must be together, not alone, and they must be totally united or they will be cast out by all of the universe. This is our destiny. Since we are ignorant of this truth, we live our lives randomly, wherever the wind blows.

There is another example, gravity. One kilometer of the pressure of gravity is very powerful, but because we can balance ourselves, we do not feel the pull of gravity. The moment we lose our balance something unpleasant happens, i.e. bleeding, falling or whatever. As long as we are totally one, we do not feel gravity. In the relationship between man and woman, for example, once we are totally balanced and united, there aren’t any strange feelings whatsoever. Here is another example. When you were growing up, did you ever pick your nose and taste it? Was it salty or was it tasteless? (Salty.) If you say salty, that means you tried it. (Laughter.) Frankly speaking, when you picked your nose and tasted it, you did not feel dirty, did you? However, as a child, if someone else picked his nose and tried to put it in your mouth, you would fight. Why? Because even as a child without having any explanation, your whole being is totally united. This wax is out of you, so you do not feel dirty.

Father has a piece of chalk. As he brings it closer and closer to his eyes, even touching his eyes, can he see it? No, because it becomes one with him. Even the eyes do not exist for the sake of themselves. Eyes are here to see objects. Human organs do not exist for the sake of themselves, but to do service for the man or woman, this is a partnership. Isn’t this true?

Women usually keep things clean and are more sensitive. If you see somebody’s waste 10 yards away, you will hold your nose and walk away. When you go to the toilet in the morning, do you put a mask on? Have you ever seen anyone go to the toilet with a mask on because of the smell? This is because once you are totally one with something or someone, you do not feel dirty or strange or different.

Between husband and wife, you Blessed couples, when you kiss each other does your spouse’s saliva taste sweet or bitter? Be honest with Father. In reality, the saliva is not sweet. It is because of the power of love. Love power is the power which can make the dead person want to live and the living person want to die. In other words, if you love your husband and he says something detrimental to you, you may want to die because of that one particular word. On the other hand, if a husband says loving words to his dying wife, then those words can make his wife want to live. This is the power of love. Do you understand? Love power can do anything.

Are we all born for the sake of love? Is this true? (Yes!) That is why we have to get married, to become whole. Only through marriage can we become one and complete, and thus become an object of True Love. Centering on True Love, we can become the object of God and we can occupy God. Ownership with God takes place when we become totally one through True Love. That is why we can occupy God, belong to God and become God’s property. This unification will bring about a peaceful and happy world. Without this unification, there is no way. No way means that there can be no God. Do you understand? Making a balance and centering on God, happiness and freedom can occur; there is no other way.

You, men, must hold onto your woman for eternity and never let her go. Eventually, you have to go to God and occupy God, but without your woman you cannot do that. You women have to say happily, ‘even if you choke my neck, if that’s the only way you can occupy God, then go ahead and do it quickly.” Do you understand? You women must obey, unite and work with your husband to achieve the goal. Since man is now in the objective position to God, no matter what it may take, you must make unity with your wife. All the woman has to do then is hang on like a clamp, as tight as you can, to your man all the way to God. It will take absolute faith, centering on the law of unification. Do you want this? (Yes!) Do we absolutely need married life, yes or no? Yes! Man has to do his absolute best to occupy woman and woman vice versa has to do her absolute best. Together they will become an absolute object to True Love and, with True Love, they will create total unity. They will be an object of God, like the body of God. God is in the position of mind and we are in the position of body, centered on True Love, as husband and wife. This is the way we will build the Kingdom of God here on earth, as well as in heaven. The entire cosmos started from God and we have to return to God. If God is the subject and we are the object, we have to resemble God. Yet we are all finite beings, so we need a bridge to reach God; that is conscience.

Do you want Father to end his speech or speak more? This is Father’s birthday celebration so we should give our congratulations, instead of making him work hard. Are you in the position of filial sons and daughters or patriots or saints or what? What are you? Whenever you run out of any answer, you want to stop talking. That is fallen nature, because you want to hide yourself, like putting on a mask.

Suppose a man and woman, husband and wife, become totally united. What kind of method do they use to build such a unity? The starting point from which God created love and the starting point from which He created mankind is it the same or a different starting point? If there were two different starting points of love, the direction would be different and they would be separated. So the starting point must be the same. Where is it? Regardless of your sex, what is the most precious and valuable organ within yourself. The sexual organ is the love organ which God created with the most concentration. Only the sexual organ connects to love, life and consciousness. This is God’s place that connects love, life, blood lineage and consciousness; otherwise He cannot connect those four things and make unity. There is only one point where unification occurs.

Why is Father revealing this truth to such a famous theologian as Dr. Rubenstein? Dr. Rubenstein may not understand or believe this truth in this way. If he doesn’t, he should stop and think. Dr. Rubenstein, what do you think, do you agree with Rev. Moon? Dr. Rubenstein said, “We fought hard, but we believe Rev. Moon is right.”

Have you seen love? If so, raise your hand. Father did, why not you? You have not seen love itself, but you have seen the love phenomenon. The phenomenon is not love itself, the phenomenon is only a phenomenon. It is like a shadow of love. Have you touched love? You may feel love, but you cannot touch or see love. At the same time, if you are alone all the time, eventually, you cannot even feel love. Love is generated through the reciprocal relationship with your love partner. What do you think God cherishes most? Does He want knowledge, power or money? He only wants love. What kind of love? True Love. What is True Love? The definition of True Love is sacrificing your life three times. First, you sacrifice your life for the sake of a particular love and you are resurrected. You sacrifice your life again and you are resurrected again. Three times you give your life for the sake of love. That quality of love is True Love. You must sacrifice your life three times because of three different stages: formation stage, growth stage and perfection stage.

The love experienced by husband and wife after marriage, before having children, is the formation stage of love. Love matures when they begin producing their own children. Through their children they experience the growth stage of love. When their own children grow up and begin having children, they become grandparents. They then feel another level of love, this is the perfection stage of love. Love cannot be perfected without the experience of raising your own children and the experience of enjoying and raising your own grandchildren. The four position foundation can only be established through these three different levels of love. The family is the seed of love. The way to harvest the love seed is through your grandchildren and your parents and your grandparents. These three generations allow the fruit of love in the family to become ripe and the seed of love to become ready for harvest. The relationships between each person in the family is so important. The children, the brothers and sisters, must be able to love each other beyond even their own life, sacrificing their desires. That same level of love should be practiced between parents and children, between parents and their own parents, between grandparents and the children, and between husband and wife, all being interrelated. This is the formula of how to harvest the family seed. Grandparents must go through their own children in a partnership. This love relationship should be carried further from the grandchildren through the in-laws and eventually going back to God where the grandparents are. Once love reaches your level you have to add your own love and pass it on, following a circular movement. You cannot separate from the love once the circular motion takes place. Husband and wife, grandparents and children, and parents and children are all looking for the highest quality of love. Each is trying to give the most. when you embrace someone, do you want a small embrace or a big embrace, like you would embrace the entire universe in your bosom? (Father demonstrates with Mr. Kim.) This formula includes all mankind. Your family is the training ground where this model, the paradigm of the entire universe, the Kingdom of God on earth, is created. Once you are trained in your family to practice such high quality love, you can go to a foreign country where, among many unfamiliar things, you do not even speak the same language. When you see older people like your grandparents, you are already trained to practice the same level of love you show your grandparents; the same is true for all the ages of people you meet. If you practice that high level of love toward all those people, the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven will surely come. This is the formula.

Let’s apply this principle to Rev. Moon’s life. When he came to America, did he practice such a love towards America? Yes! Think about the time America really opposed Rev. Moon, did not understand him and sent him to Danbury Prison. Did he hate America or did he give more love to America? More love. If Americans truly understand the love Rev. Moon has for America, unite and follow Rev. Moon, then this place will become the Kingdom of God on earth, built through his guidance.

Why do we have to offer even a higher quality of love to others, than to our own family members? If you have ten family members, that means you have ten people very similar to your character and they know you. Among these ten family members, if you force them to surrender to you, there will be a big conflict. This is not the way to win their support. If we look at the way God, in the beginning of the creation, showed us how to humble ourselves and invest ourselves for the sake of the creation, we will know how to win our family’s hearts. We will be able to become the central person among those ten people. We will then be able to totally unify all ten members.

We can raise this family’s level of love even higher by totally living for the sake of the ten family members. By becoming an example of this sacrificial love, the ten family members will be able to develop a higher level of love as well. This is the law of progression. On that level, another round of sacrificial life can be exhibited and practiced, thereby reaching an even higher level of love. As an individual, you have to be able to open yourself and give of yourself ten times to ten different people. Finally, all ten members will become yours. That is the way you win them and unify them. Your family, the ten of you, should practice the same principle of loving in front of your tribe. Your tribe consists of many different families. You should not sacrifice your tribe for the sake of your family. Instead, your family should sacrifice for the entire tribe. If you sacrifice your own family for the sake of all the families in your tribe, these families will be elevated to a higher level. In the same way you sacrifice your tribe for the nation, you sacrifice your nation for the entire world, you sacrifice the world for the cosmos and you sacrifice the entire cosmos for God. What about God? God will belong to me and He will come to the individual level. That means God is mine! The full circle of love was all for such a wonderful purpose! This is the Unification principle. From the individual level, all the way around to God and God comes back to the individual level. Do you understand?

What do the communists say relating to ownership? Yours is mine and mine is yours, that is the satanic concept. The Unification view says, not yours is mine and mine is yours, but mine is for the sake of family, my family is for the sake of my tribe, my tribe is for the sake of my nation, my nation is for the sake of my world, my world is for the cosmos and the cosmos for the sake of God. Eventually, God comes around for my sake. God is mine and God’s property is my property. Rev. Moon has been investing everything, including himself, for the sake of the world and God, in order to give this ownership to mankind. Rev. Moon won such a victory during the last 40 years of persecution and opposition by exactly resembling God. God’s example during the last six thousand years, was that He invested Himself and forgot, invested and forgot. Rev. Moon has the same attitude, the same understanding and the same practice all these years. Therefore just like God is, eventually, the victor, Rev. Moon also wins the victory; then Rev. Moon shares these victories with God. That is how Rev. Moon achieved the victory. Do you understand? The purpose of history and the direction of history is for this. Without this principle, this formula of history, there is no unification or happiness possible. We would be doomed. Can you pledge that you will really live up to that kind of expectation? Frankly, when you look inside yourself, you may have love for your wife and children, but do you really find love for the sake of your nation, your world and for God? We must practice this because God’s fundamental goal is saving this entire world and God Himself. How can we liberate God? God is not liberated yet! God’s ideal of love is not achieved yet in this world. Logically you cannot deny that. Dr. Rubenstein, do you accept Rev. Moon’s explanation? (Dr. Rubenstein’s response, “I must never lie to Rev. Moon.”) Father wants to know yes or no. What about you, the audience, yes or no! (Yes!)

When it comes to your public mission, though you are supporting your family, sending your children to school and feeding your family, you cannot neglect your mission. Your nation will be doomed to perish and even God’s providence will fail, if you do not have the right attitude. You will not be able to make this a purposeful world. God has sacrificed everything to save this world. Everyone must absolutely follow God, the Subject, in this partnership. There is no other way and no other concept that will work. You must follow one time, absolutely, with obedience making one heart of unification, thus making one body, that is all. This is the purpose of the formula. You have to absolutely follow, otherwise, there is no hope; there will not be a peaceful world nor a world of happiness. Will you do it? Will you take this action? Raise both hands. Thank you.

Well, we have a problem. Previously, you answered that you cannot touch love, you cannot see love, you cannot even see your conscience and you cannot see your life, then how can you feel them? You are totally one with yourself; that is why we cannot see or feel love. In order to stimulate the life, love, lineage and conscience, you need your love partner. Without utilizing your love partners power, you cannot feel your love, your life, your lineage and your conscience. Do you have love? Yes or no? Yes! Do you have your life? Yes! What about your lineage? Yes! What about your conscience? Yes! But you cannot say you know that you see or you feel it. Well, you alone may not be able to feel how much love you have; however, when your love partner appears and stimulates your love, your heart starts beating faster. You experience many different shades and angles of love. Suddenly your love starts showing or making you feel it and aware of it. Isn’t this true? Yes! When you meet your partner, you feel thunder and lightening and you are so excited. Lightning and thunder heralds the marriage of nature. That is true! Like rain coming down, there are tears and all kind of water in the union of a man and a woman. Do you understand?

There is another important concept of love. Suppose a husband and wife become totally one and the wife reserves 30 percent of her heart from her husband. She will only be able to receive 70 percent of her husband’s love, even though he may have given 100 percent of his love to her. Therefore, in order to receive 100 percent of each other’s love, you must go down to the zero point. In other words, you should not feel any reservation whatsoever, then you can feel 100 percent love from your spouse. It is like a subject and object relationship, 100 percent stimulation. Once you become totally one, there is no problem. This is a universal secret. Once you become totally one as husband and wife, you should not feel any reservation; you are just one, like you cannot see your finger. Therefore, when you start walking into the wedding room, you must be in the position of zero, nothing of yourself remains. When these two zeroes come close together, they spark each other and there is lightning and thunder. When the wedding comes, the entire world and universe will embrace you. God will look upon you at that blessing and see you as one complete being. How wonderful you are in making love! Until now there was no true ancestor, true family, true tribe, true nation or true world. That is why even many religions, i.e. Buddhism, Christianity and all the major religions, usually encouraged faithful people to live ascetic lives and keep a life of chastity throughout history. In the Unification Church, Father is sending everyone to their hometown to be tribal messiahs. This is truly the time of glory and victory and hope for humanity. In the Unification Church, what do we teach? The Fall of man produced the false ancestor, false family, false nation and false world. Now we have to restore this entire fallen world and everything through receiving and believing in True Parents, reaching True God and eventually making ourselves into true selves. That is the goal of the Unification Church. By doing so, we claim that we will build the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven centered upon True Parents. Isn’t this our goal? That is our goal, but we first must understand the starting point. The tradition is centered on True Love, True Parents and God. This is the starting point. From what point does True Love from God and man meet and start? The sexual organ, true sexual organ. We do not know our conscience, the function and detail, but where is the root of our conscience? The root of love, the root of life, the root of lineage and the root of conscience are from God. Where can we find God? God is within the deepest part of yourself. You cannot find God, because God is one with you. Once your partner, who has God within himself or herself, becomes one with you, then the God within yourself will be stimulated; you will feel and become aware of His existence.

Originally that was the way Adam and Eve should have become totally one; they would not have felt any difference whatsoever. God, Adam and Eve were supposed to become totally one and inseparable. The Fall of man stopped that and the original place of God was occupied by Satan. Satan infiltrated and took over the position. Now we have to say that the true ancestor and true nation must be derived from the love organ of a true man and a true woman. Once husband and wife become totally united centered on True Love, your love organ becomes the palace of True Love, the original palace of your life. The central life palace, the central lineage palace and the central consciousness palace all connect to the couple’s love place. This precious place will begin the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. There is no other way. Adam and Eve were created as the body of God. Logically you cannot deny this. Adam and Eve’s love organs were to be the central original palace of love, life and lineage. Now ours is the palace of love, life, lineage and even the conscience. This connects us to the central root and central branch. Protect your love palace, life palace, lineage palace and conscience palace. Satan is trying his absolute best to destroy your palace of love, life, lineage and conscience. Because of the failure of Adam and Eve, mankind has not known that the four great realms of heart were destroyed. That is why, husband and wife now totally become one and go back to their hometown. This is the highest goal of fallen mankind, to find our original hometown where we can build the Kingdom of True Love, True Life, True Lineage and even True Conscience. Mankind did not know until this point and that is the place where we will start building the Kingdom of God on earth. That is the completion of the history of salvation.

We must know that we are without our true nation. We must return to our hometown and restore our hometown as a true hometown. We should eventually develop our hometown and expand it to our true nation. That is our mission! Our goal as members of the Unification Church is to return to our hometown and become the first ancestor of our true hometown and the first founding father of our true nation. This must be our conviction today! You must understand that God has been shedding His tears, even blood and sweat all these seven thousand years of history to reach this goal and to accomplish this goal. We must liberate True Parents and, at the same time, liberate God. This has been the True Parents’ goal too. How? By finding and establishing our true hometown and true nation. That is the only way! Do you understand?

This is the 50th year since the end of World War II and that is why, upon the victorious foundation of True Parents, now Father gave us this year’s motto “Let’s inherit True Parent’s realm of victory.” Centered on the vertical True Parents, God, and horizontal True Parents, our True Parents, we must live up to the expectation of God and True Parents. This is our eminent task. We must strive to achieve that goal and be totally united with True Parents. To achieve this goal we have to invest and sacrifice everything we have, including our life, just as God and True Parents have done. Those who make the determination and the pledge to do your absolute best to live up to the expectations of God and True Parents with conviction, raise both of your hinds! This is your gift to True Parent’s on their birthday, today. Stand up and raise your hands! God bless you! Amen!
