Section 1. To Bear The Fruit Of Human Life And The Spirit Self
1. In Order To Obtain The Fruit Of Life
One generation of our life is momentary. Right? This one generation goes up and down the equator of eternity. When this is extended, does it continue infinitely? On the other hand, if this is bent [Father expresses it in action], from here on, a new heaven and earth is scrolled. Like a scale, it goes up and down. That is the way it is.
For this reason, once Father speaks a word, it becomes a worldwide one. Father does not say that he cannot do it. Do you understand? [Yes.]
All of you are resurrected descendants of your ancestors, with their faces. You are historical resurrected beings. How long is history? It is known to be many hundreds of thousands of years old. Think of it. The course of such a labor was eventually to create one person, myself. In order to create myself, countless ancestors came and left. Likewise, the destiny of all mankind is in the hands of Rev. Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church. He is in such a position. For whom did all of the ancestors labor so hard? It was to bring forth Rev. Moon and make him successful. At the moment, the entire spirit world is being mobilized for this purpose although you would not know about it. Therefore, we are the fruits of human history.
What are we? [Fruits of human history.] Next, we are the fruits of an era and the fruits of the future. It is incredible, isn't it?
Ladies and gentlemen, would you like that such fruits have a big hole because of worms eating them? Do you like apples that have their dark seeds easily rolling out when you cut them in half or apples whose seeds are sticky? Wouldn't you like to be an apple that is very ripe? [Yes.] Well, you know the right answer.
So, when you are opened in half, do you think a very ripe seed will come out? Are you sure that your second generation will become a heavenly seed that is very ripe? When your heart is cut open, do you think that a well-ripened Unification Church will come out?
Would you let the 6,000-year fruits fall without being able to ripen? Will it be all right for you to say: "Hey, I might fall. If it blows a little stronger, I might. Father, you should leave me alone, without shaking me"? I bet that there are some people like that. On the other hand, there should be a group of people who would say: "Father, even if you hit me with an ax and shake the tree to your heart's content, I will never fall down as long as a branch is not torn out." To which group do you belong? Are you one of the people who are concerned with a blowing wind? [No.] Then, what? [We belong to a group that does not fall down even if the tree is shaken.] A group that does not fall down even if the tree is shaken? [Yes.] (146-155)
We know that the important occasions of human life are birth, marriage, and death.
In order for an individual to bear a fruit after his or her birth, he or she must have a life companion, and thereafter walk a path together until the final moment of life. The same is applied to a country. A nation also has a period to lay its foundation, and then, a period of prosperity. Next, it is followed by a time period that is like the evening.
By so doing, if an individual remains a life body (saeng myung che), the individual should inherit the fruit of life and, within his or herself should always be prepared with a content that is related to the fruit of life. if not, even if a time of bearing fruit arrives, the individual will not be able to see the fruits.
For this reason, we should overcome our environment. Furthermore, we should inherit all the conditions that can bear fruit in the future, and we should have abilities of control that can be a motivation for all contents. Only through the process of bearing fruit can we remain a fruit that is needed for the progress of a new history and/or human society.
When viewed from this perspective, humans must be able to overcome their environment. But that is not the end. They should undergo a process through which they can inherit a new life and bear a fruit out of it. Afterwards, they should be able to stand in an appropriate position and bring a result. For example, like grains that are sowed, germinated, bear fruit, and are harvested by their master and stored at the storage room, we must go through a process through which we can be harvested for a certain purpose.
Therefore, at this point, you must not forget that you are in a position that you should, within yourself, solidify the inner conditions that can inherit such hopes and wishes, and centering on those conditions, you must again be adjusted to the external environment. This should be done not in the position of a defense of yourself, but in the position of an offense.
Look at a persimmon tree in the springtime when it blooms. Those flowers are not so colorful like other flowers. Further, their color is similar to that of their leaves. For this reason, if you just glance at them, you would not notice those flowers. Even after bearing fruit, because they are covered with leaves, it is hard to notice them. Because the green leaves are so fully grown, one cannot see the fruit. But when autumn comes after the summer, their color starts to change. When they are ripe, both the inside and outside colors turn red. Then you see them hanging radiantly and proudly on the tree even after all of the leaves fall.
It is the same is with the Unification Church members. When looking at the Unification Church, if the 1970s are considered to be a period of bearing fruit, all elements like leaves should disappear. Even the persimmon fruit exposed on a bare branch can possess a value of the entire tree. Such a fruit does not need any advertisement. To anyone, it is transformed into a being of value one hundred percent, for both its inside and outside. In order to do this, how persistently did the persimmon tree have to fight throughout the entire one year? Until it could bear fruit, how much labor was required throughout the process?
Until it was perfected as a fruit out of numerous flowers that bloomed on branches, we must understand that it suffered and made more efforts than any other flower. We must understand that it overcame all kinds of environmental ordeals from which it could have fallen due to a rough environment and malnutrition, while enduring winds, rain, and tempests in the summertime.
If that tree bore only one fruit, not being able to carry many fruits, that fruit would represent the entire tree as a fruit that fought all of the external struggles from which it could fall off the tree, containing the entire inner qualities of that tree. Only such a fruit will remain alive. If there was only one fruit on that tree, that fruit will represent the entire tree. If it was a persimmon tree, due to that one fruit, it could save the authority and dignity of that tree when autumn came.
Although many flowers bloom and many fruit are born on that tree, if all of them fell, and it could not bear fruit even in the autumn, but only bare branches, how miserable that tree must be! However, even if it could not bear many fruit, if it could bear one fruit that cannot be compared with the fruit from any other trees, that tree will be proud of its fruit in front of tens of thousands of other fruits.
There are numerous religions in the modern era. Numerous denominations exist in Christianity. In a reality where we are faced with an era of bearing fruit, God is asking for a certain fruit from the Unification Church. As was previously said, although a tree could not bear many fruits, but only one fruit, and that fruit is a perfect one that cannot be bettered by any other fruit from any other tree, that tree deserves to receive the autumn, being saved by that one fruit.
From this perspective, you yourself should be able to judge whether you could receive a normal spring and summer, and bear a ripe, matured fruit in the fall.
When looking at a tree, we find branches, leaves, roots, and seeds. When we pick a fruit, it can be considered that we possessed that entire tree. Since that fruit has many seeds, one stands in a position where many trees can be planted.
The fruit of a tree should represent that tree, and whether it is 10 years old or 20 years old, when that fruit is harvested as a perfect fruit, it should be able to pass on all of the historical elements that it desires to bequeath.
During the time when that fruit is growing, the elements should never be removed. It should be left alone so that it can fully and continuously grow. From the day when its life started to the time when it is harvested by the master and stored into a storage room, the life elements should never be stopped. Whether it is windy or a tempest comes, despite all the hardships, they should not be discontinued. if not, as time goes by, the elements which can add to the fruit will dissipate, and, as a result, one will not be able to see a fruit that is fully matured. (36- 10)
Even among blessed families, there are many insincere families. I can tell the truth when looking at you carefully. When you look at chestnut burs, you can find both male ones and female ones. Their shape is similar looking, but the male size is bigger. It is the lazy one that did not work hard. Bearing fruit requires the overcoming of many tribulations.
However, male chestnuts are void of the deep qualities that come from tribulations, and, as a result, they are void of life power. Their appearance looks similar to that of the female chestnuts, but their inside is not that of a real chestnut.
Ladies and gentlemen, you know chestnuts. Their appearance looks so cold with its spiky burs. Yet, if you take out the burs, a chestnut comes out. A chestnut is covered with three layers of skin. If an outer skin is removed, another layer of skin appears. If the second one is peeled, a third layer with a tardy taste shows up. Afterwards, a real chestnut appears. That is why the taste is remarkable. (31-201)

Section 2. Judgment And Public Approval
1. Categories Of Judgment
Would God, who knows that the way of the Principle is a way that cannot be walked without loving one's enemies, let people perish in the last days? No. God is in the position of a parent towards humans. The judgment of fire that is mentioned in today's Christianity is not literally a fire judgment. (31-167)
As you are well aware that there is a protocol between teachers and students that should be observed by each party? Likewise, in the Unification Church as well, there are laws that I should observe, and you should also observe. Those who doze while I am speaking, will they be violated by the heavenly laws or not? [They will.] Those who are dozing, is that right? [Right.] Did you doze, thinking of that or not? Yes or no? Did you doze, understanding it or not? [We did, without realizing it.] That is what you should know.
Therefore, when looking at this from this perspective, if you do not pay attention to the words, you will be judged by the words. Next, we should realize substance. What are your actions for? It is to realize substance. If not, without action there will be a judgment of substance. There are three different kinds of judgment: that of words, that of substance, and that of heart. One should go through three different stages of judgment.
First, the words of the Principle will judge you. What is next? It is judgment of substance. Who will judge? Those who labored hard, doing fundraising, witnessing, and realizing substance, by observing all the laws. Those who did not do any of these, trying to take an easy way out, will be all judged by them. That is a judgment. Satan will participate in it, judging people who did not follow the words. Those who realized a substantial foundation will accuse the ones who did not. The substantial foundation laid by Father, and the substantial foundation of leaders in the Unification Church will make accusations against its members who did not fulfill.
This is the right order. First, the accusation comes from Satan; second, from family members; third, from Father; fourth, from angels; and fifth, from God. [While saying this, Father writes on the blackboard]. Do you understand me?
You need to go the following way: You can go to God after being recognized by family members in the satanic world and next, by Father. That is our destiny. That is a law. That is a direction that we need to follow. This is the direction that I previously mentioned. What do we do about this? What is judgment? They will give substantial judgment with all of these. Will lies work? [No.] If you do it unwillingly, it is like not doing it. If you do it, thinking of God and/or Father, the substance of God and/or that of Father will be in it. It is like a fully matured chestnut inside of it. If you think of God and Father like this, Father's words, God's words will be the substance of your work. Ladies and gentlemen, is that right?
By so doing, the Unification Church members should be welcomed by Father and family members. You should become such a person. When you are exposed, you should become a person like a chestnut. We should live for God and True Parents. That is your mission. Next, when you go to spirit world, your lifestyle of living for God and True Parents should be in harmony with that of your life here on earth. Do you understand what I mean? That is how harmonization is achieved.
For this reason, we should go through a process of passing a fearful test with substantial conditions. That is a law. When the test is done, the foundation of heart will automatically come into being. When you were fundraising and witnessing hard, why were you persecuted and accused for doing both of them? It was to restore, to discover heart, which you did not have. It was to restore, to discover love. It happened so that you could become a person who can love people who are doing these things against you. Unless you go through such a training course, no matter how much you try to become a heavenly person, you cannot. That is, we should find love that is beyond the love of the satanic world, of ourselves. Otherwise, we cannot go to Kingdom of Heaven by becoming a person of love. Only the ones who become a person of love can go there.
Who is the judge then? It will be God, Jesus, and Father. Do you understand? [Yes.] Therefore, you should put it into practice. That is our task, required by God as law. You must understand this.
What is true love? When we stand in the position of the parent-child relationship centered on the lineage of God and True Parents, this "X" and this "Y" will form a line. You will be able to avoid the judgment referred to by Christianity. That is why only when we are centered on the realm of True Parent's love, will everything be resolved. (190-31)
2. Be Prepared With A Passport To The Kingdom Of Heaven
Your final moment on this earthly plane is death. The day of death will come to everyone. In order to establish the ultimate ideal world, you should experience all kinds of things and pass through them.
Well, do you have a passport to the Kingdom of Heaven? Dr. Durst, do you have one? [I am in the process of preparing one.] Then how do you enter there? You do not know that you might die tomorrow. We should keep ourselves busy with preparing one. This is not a play or a joke. You should understand that only when many individuals, families, or nations come into being, can God let you be in charge of Heaven. Do you understand what I mean? That is the original ideal of creation.
What is a passport for? It is to expel Satan. Satan is allowed to enter. Ladies and gentlemen, in your daily life, does Satan play a part or not? Did you separate good from evil on the levels of an individual, a tribe, a people, a nation, the world and the universe? If so, when? You must have learned the words of the Principle, right?
Then you must have learned how to separate good from evil. With what can it be done? It should be done centered on indemnity conditions. Those who have leadership positions in headquarters should all be expelled. Do you know about a pyramid? Those who do not go out for church activities become a pyramid of the Devil.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is no exception for anyone, whether they are scholars or the presidents of nations. The path of indemnity should not be taught, but searched for by each individual. That is a path that you yourself should look for. The path of the Principle is one that you walk yourself. Do you understand this clearly? If you do not go this way, you will go to hell. You must understand that chains are hooked all over your body, such as your eyes, your nose, your thoughts, etc. I am not saying this to threaten you, but to reverse the fall.
Ladies and gentlemen, when the word "Kim" is written on a blank piece of paper, how difficult is it to erase it? [It is terrible.] Do you think the letters written down by Satan are more terrible than the ink itself or not? If you try to erase them, even if you almost reach the state of death, you should not be able to erase them. It can be done only after we are revived from death. It can be finally erased only when the piece of paper is almost worn out with holes. You should know that, although you believe that you are alive, actually you are dead. As long as such a trait is within you, Satan will claim you as his. That is why Jesus stated: "Those who are willing to die will live, and those who are trying to live will die." Do you understand what this means? [Yes.]
From God's viewpoint, only when you are better than the beginning will his memory of the fall of long ago be erased. From this perspective, could you understand how foolish, how immature, how fragile you were up until now? Where are you going to go? Are you going to go to Kingdom of Heaven or the kingdom of hell? [Kingdom of Heaven.] (129-183)
You must clearly understand what you should do from now on. Do you know that? Now, you do not know it, right? Do you think that you can live for eternity? Do you think you will die or live? Everyone dies once, right? Is it true or false? [True.] This is a serious matter. Are you sure that we all die? [Yes.]
If you die, do you know that spirit world exists? [Yes.] Do you really know it? [Yes.] Is life in the spirit world longer than life on earth or is it shorter? [Longer.] How much longer?[It is infinite.] Then, who lives there? Is it not a place where the master and the center of Heaven, God, lives? [Yes.] Who is God? Is it not vague and ambiguous? Don't you think so?
Well, if God exists and I exist, and if we think of God and ourselves being in an equal position, would you think of God first or yourself first? [God first.] Well, what about you? [God.] If it is God, do you think that we should become people whom God is pleased with or that God should become the one whom we are pleased with? [The former.] I am not talking about others. What about you? [The former.]
Well, I go to that side of the world, if that nation is a God-centered nation, where countless ancestors came and left, do you think that they will be living without order without any laws or in orderliness governed by laws? [The latter.] You must have some idea about it.
Would you think that even before the appearance of the Unification Church that the organization of the Unification Church already existed in the spirit world? (laughter). It did, right? Surely so. (laughter) But what about now since the appearance of the Unification Church?
Well, since the Unification Church came into being at the end among all the organizations in the spirit world, should it be at the end or at the top? [At the top.] If Moonies say, "at the top," would spirit world say, "no?" Your ancestors who are living in the spirit world may say that they do not like Moonies. (laughter). What do you think?
For example, suppose that there is a wealthy village, where a beggar came in. If all the leaders of the village unanimously suggest: "We have a remarkable man visiting us. Let us make that beggar our village leader." Then, would everyone agree or oppose? What do you think? [Oppose.]
Well, suppose when you go to spirit world would you like to go down to the dungeon of hell in darkness or to the throne of God with beaming light? You, think about a place with a bright light. (laughter) That is true. That is realistic. That is for sure.
However, what are you going to climb to get up there? In the spirit world, there are many saints and sages such as Jesus, Confucius, Buddha, etc. There are also many great people, but with what are you going to climb up there? You would be able to meet all of the presidents of the United States, such as George Washington, and others.
Further, you should be able to meet many martyrs who died from the persecution of the Roman Empire. How many people were sacrificed for the public purpose? Then, how can you go up there? Would the spirit world recognize you?
You need a certificate at some point in time, even in the U.S. Army If so, can you go to the highest realm of the spirit world without a certificate? In the world beyond time and space where many hundreds of billions are gathered, watching you, are you confident that you will be welcomed and praised? In the spirit world, there is no distance. They will be watching you climbing up. Then, how can you go up there? Think of it.
In order to go there, you need a certificate. Surely, you do. Without it, you cannot pass through. This is a serious matter. Dr. Durst, with what are you going to go there? Can you say that you can do it with your doctoral degree for literature? In the spirit world, it has even less value than toilet paper in the bathroom. (laughter)
Well, then, what are you going to take to get there? Go ahead and answer. [True love.] What is true love? What is it? This is a serious question. Because God knows this clearly, he has been committed to this throughout his entire life.
Well, today, why am I trying to go this way even though the entire fallen world is opposing me? It is to receive a certificate. This is not a worldly matter. Do you understand? If I sought for success in the secular world, I would have been quite successful. I have such abilities.
When you go to spirit world, you cannot take even your own wife nor your children. When you die, you are alone, not with each other. Then, how lonely it should be! You should walk alone. Such is the world where you need to go. The reason why Rev. Moon is needed in the world is because humans do not know where to go. In order to teach them the right way, in the last days, God sent someone like Rev. Moon on earth. (145-330)
3. Satan's Certificate Is Also Required
Do you receive God's love? Yes or no? God's love is a worldwide love which is priceless, and that cannot be replaced with money. Have you ever received such love? Have you ever received love that is like flesh out of all flesh and bone out of all bones?
In order to become Abel, you should first inherit God's love. Once you inherit God's love, you will inherit the world. Right? [Yes.] So, did you reach that level? Jesus did. He inherited the Heavenly Kingdom, but he did not inherit the world. Then who inherited the world? Cain did, Therefore, the world belongs to Cain. For this reason, once Abel inherits the Heavenly Kingdom, he or she should inherit a certificate issued and guaranteed by Cain who belongs to the world. In order to go to the Kingdom of Heaven, you need a certificate from Satan.
Fallen people are to resolve these two matters. Because they have not been resolved, 6,000 years of history have been repeated. However, we have now come to understand this. In the Bible it says: "As you know the truth, the truth will set you free." As we now know the answer, we should love, even biting our own teeth. To what level? To the level of Cain, who is our enemy. (34-278)
Since the human fall took place not in the presence of God as their subject, but in the presence of Satan, we should subjugate Satan. You should be able to say and claim before Satan: "Satan, as I am where I am now because of you, I will return after subjugating you." So, unless you get a certificate that you subjugated Satan, you cannot receive God's love. Jesus also brought victory in overcoming three temptations. You will not able to go to Heavenly Kingdom without a signature from Satan that you won a victory in history.
The Unification Church is the only church that teaches that one cannot go to Kingdom of Heaven without a certificate from Satan. This is fundamentally different from other Christian churches. They do not know this for sure, but say the following: "Well, Rev. Moon of the Unification Church teaches that we can go to Kingdom of Heaven only with a certificate from Satan. That is why he is satanic." Did I teach that to you? They indeed like to distort facts. Yet we should not get behind them due to their spreading wrong rumors. No matter what, we should receive Satan's signature. When Jesus overcame the three temptations from Satan, Satan admitted with tears: "You are truly and eternally different from me." Unless he admitted this, his position would have been in danger. (24-337)
Do you love Cain? Cain is Satan. He is Satan's son. The spiritual Satan and the substantial Satan are grinding their teeth, hating the Unification Church. Even though we did not ask for anything from them, remaining quiet, they still hate us. In order for you not to be hooked by them, you should subjugate Cain. In order to subjugate Cain, you should love Cain all the way to the end. Unless you become such a person, you cannot save Cain.
For this reason, in order to go to Kingdom of Heaven, you should obtain a certificate from Satan. What is Satan's certificate? In order for a convicted criminal to be released, he or she should first go through an attorney, then a prosecutor, and finally, he can be released by the judge. When viewed from this perspective, Satan is in the position of the prosecutor, God, in the position of the judge, and Jesus, in the position of the attorney. If Satan accuses a defendant with convincing evidence, saying, "This is what we should do, God cannot do anything about it.
Then, Jesus, in the position of an attorney would say: "Heavenly Father, his ancestors did such and such things. He is not from a bad lineage. Since he is accused of such and such counts, he should be given an indemnity condition that is related to his crimes, and then liberate him." That is what has been happening.
For this reason, we should get a certificate from Satan. Without getting a certificate that we loved Satan, we can never go to Kingdom of Heaven. That is what the Unification Church is doing. Normally, although we treat enemies as enemies, we should love them. That is incredible. But we must love our enemies and pray for them. We have no choice. Unless Cain and Abel are united in oneness, there will be no restoration. Then, you cannot go back to the parent. You must understand this. (48-315)
Today, where should we, Unification Church members, stand? As was just mentioned now, we should take responsibility to fill up the holes. For this reason, in the position of representing all mankind, we should be Willing, before God, to take responsibility for all of mankind, with an urgent and anxious heart. Otherwise, we cannot become a Unification Church member.
We should stand in such a position, as a representative of our family, our tribe, our nation, the world, and the whole universe. You should not speak only your own words, but even make a right decision that both God and Satan can publicly approve. In other words, you should get a certificate from Satan. When I say this, you might think: "Why should I, when I did not receive one even from God?"
Yet, Satan should publicly approve of you, stating: "You fulfilled your responsibility on earth in restoring God's love in the course of restoration of the world on the levels of an individual, a family, a tribe, a people, and a nation. Therefore, when reviewing your accomplishments, you are more than qualified to be responsible for the providence of restoration through the indemnity of love." Without being such a person, you cannot inherit the position of a son or a daughter in the world of God's love. (158-384)
Christianity today has gone through a course of history through which it has been seeking for a true olive tree, while pioneering a miserable destiny along with numerous humans throughout history. The true olive tree refers to the Son of God. Once He comes, the tree should receive extract and a branch from Him. And we should be engrafted to that branch.
When Satan sees that a part of Him was engrafted, all of the conditions that have not been resolved due to Satan will be done so instantly. You should be engrafted not only on a foundation that is like good land or a warm shelter, but also that is like a rough, stony land. Since its content is different from anything else in the Satanic world, in terms of the original nature and quality from Satan, you should receive a certificate that you can become God's son in the new era. It is not given by God. If He could, He would have done it 6,000 years ago.
In my case, I could not be released by the judge. Who then could have released me? Satan can. At the court, the prosecutor is Satan. Therefore, without getting an approval from the prosecutor, I could not be released. Therefore, without an official approval from Satan, that is, even if the judge in charge gave an unjust sentence, God cannot say: "You are my son. Let me save you!" You must absolutely get an approval from Satan.
Did you get such an approval from Satan or not? If not, you must. What does the Unification Church teach? It is a place that teaches you how to obtain an approval from Satan. However, you should not get only a spiritual approval but also a physical one. (7-124)
4. Father's Signature Is Also Required
Do you want to obtain a passport to the Kingdom of Heaven? [Yes.] But not freely. If you try to get a Ph.D. without passing a test or doing a dissertation, even if you are able to get it, it will be a counterfeit. Even in the Unification Church, there are real members and fake ones. Are more members real or fake? [Real ones.] You are not real Moonies yet. You are not totally united with me yet. Do you understand? [Yes.] You can be real ones only after going through the exact standard.
In the final world centered on good and evil, unless you become a true Moonie, you cannot remain forever. Do you understand what I mean? [Yes.] In that sense, you should reexamine yourself and reflect upon yourself. (129-186)
You need a certificate. No matter how difficult it is, you should get a certificate. You now understand this clearly, right? [Yes.]
The same is with me. I know that so well. That is why I have been going through such a fierce battle for 40 years in the outside world. I am always marching forward, although the entire world is opposing me. I chose such a path. Do you know how miserable it has been? Think about it. Under such circumstances, I laid this foundation.
This world belongs to Satan. That is the problem. It is a miserable fact. On the other hand, the spirit world is rejoicing. Thus, these two worlds are divided. Is it clear now? [Yes.]
You need a certificate, which contains Father's signature. One can go through all levels of the spirit world only with Rev. Moon's signature. As long as you have it, no one will stop you. You will be welcome at any place. Then how remarkable we are! That is what we need to be concerned about. Everyone needs to acquire one. What are you hesitant about? You should start. Father is not foolish, but smart. Do you know it? [Yes, we do.] Father is so famous. (146-347)
In the future, how are you going to climb up the spirit world? What are you going to take with you? Go ahead and answer me. Are you going to say, "Since I went to Harvard and I am a citizen of United States, I can go to the best place in the spirit world?"
What are you going to take with you? You cannot go to the high levels of the spirit world, even if you have a pure and innocent heart. Go ahead and have such a heart to see whether you can go or not. (laughter) You need to go through a procedure by which you can go to go to the Kingdom of Heaven.
In order to be registered, you need to have a license. No matter how many times you insist that you are a pure and innocent person, you cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven. You need to go through a certain formality. What is that formality? Even to come to the U.S.A., which is declining, how difficult it is, going through a certain process of getting a visa, etc.? Would it be easier or more difficult for us to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than America? [More difficult.] Ladies and gentlemen, when you came here, did you ever think of it? Have you ever thought of getting a new form and passing the tests after filling it out?
Then, you should get a signature from Dr. Durst, right here. Then, whose signature is next? [Satan] Correct, you should get a signature from Satan. (laughter). Then whose signature comes next? [Father's.] Yes, it is Father's. You cannot go to Kingdom of Heaven only with Dr. Durst's signature.
Well, whose signatures do you need? Father's signature. What about the signature of the U.S. president? [You cannot.] Whose signature do you need? [Father's.] Did all the spirits that went to spirit world know True Parents? They did not. You are the first ones who know them. It is you who came to know Them for the first time.
Are you now coming back to your senses? You are now growing your beard. (laughter) Are you thinking that since you are growing a beard, Rev. Moon will be signing? [No.] (laughter)
Anyone who has a beard is not a Moonie. You'd better get out of here. (laughter) Can you remain seated here with your beard growing? All of you should go through a right procedure. That is what you need to learn. Therefore, it should not be the Unification Church, but the Unification University. It is a nationwide and even a worldwide university. Are you paying tuition? (laughter)
All the instructions that were given by Rev. Moon on earth will also become the basis for conditions by which you can be accused. Unless you fulfill them, you cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Then, someone might say that Rev. Moon is only giving instructions without doing them himself. Yet that is not the case. Whatever instructions he gives, he has already actualized himself. He would not ask you to do these things before He put them into practice. Why? Because He needs to teach you all about it. Rev. Moon cannot hold discussions with anyone. He has no partner. He cannot discuss the providence of restoration with the president of the United States.
No matter how many times Dr. Durst comes here, I cannot discuss the matter with him. if I do, the archangel will accuse me. The archangel is the one that made humans fall. Therefore, other than God and myself, no one knows about it. Do you understand what I mean? [Yes].
Now, the Unification Church will go over the worldwide hill. Now, no one can destroy the Unification Church, nor can anyone send Rev. Moon to prison. Then, are you busy with marrying and giving birth to your children? With what should you be busy with? [To be prepared with a certificate.] You do not know when you will die. Who knows when you will be involved in an auto accident and go to spirit world. All kinds of things can take place. Thus, you never know when you will have to go to the spirit world.
Further, although you know how to live as blessed family members, if you go to the spirit world while you are enjoying your own personal life, having fun, thus neglecting to prepare yourself to go to the spirit world, can you come to Rev. Moon of the Unification Church? Blessed families did not yet reach the worldwide level because they are on the top of the growth stage, still under the dominion of Satan. Since they are on the top of the growth stage, they should go over the worldwide level. Because of that, they will be in trouble unless they go over it.
So, do you put more weight on your own couple, placing God's will behind your own couple? In the near future, if time passes a little further, and when we are settled with our own nation, the children of those of you who did not work would not be able to work like the children of those who worked hard. Even if they are blessed, I will kick them out.
Even though I made all the preparations for you to go to spirit world, but still, if you are doing nothing, how miserable the Unification Moonies should be! It is now time for me to take it easy. I did it all myself.
Is Father incapable or capable? [You are the most capable person.] My personality is such that I would not let myself be defeated by anyone. Such is Rev. Moon. He does not like to be trampled by anyone, but he lived a life of being trampled. On such a foundation, I know clearly what path you, Unification Church members, should walk. You must understand what path you should walk. You must understand what Father is trying to teach you. Right? [Yes.] What did I say about your path? You must quickly go over the nation and the world. Are you busy with marrying? Are you busy with taking care of house chores? Or are you busy with making preparations to go to spirit world? [With preparations of going to spirit world.] Is that right? [Yes].
Therefore, I am living now to be in the same tempo with spirit world. We should live with the same tempo. When you are considered to be Unification Church members, if you go to spirit world, you will be questioned at the gate with such and such conditions that have become engraved as they were taught by Father.
All the things that are taught by Father until the present time are written down as conditions. Therefore, if you cannot answer them, you cannot go to Kingdom of Heaven. Instead, you should wait in the middle level of the spirit world.
They are waiting for me to come to the spirit world, wishing for Father's prompt arrival. Yet, even if I go to the spirit world, all of you cannot enter the place where I can go. (146-337)
When you go to the spirit world, surely, you will say, "I know Rev. Moon. He was True Father." But even if you know Him, it does not work. That is what you must understand. (135-118)
5. The Role Of An Attorney In The Spirit World
Father's slogan is: "Let us kick out the Devil," the ringleader of the evil which has been violating countless humans throughout history. From the first day to the last day, let us take the position of a prosecutor ourselves, accuse Satan of all the evil deeds that he has committed in front of God, the judge of justice and righteousness. Then would the devil surrender or not? There will be no attorney available to the Devil, but to humans, there will be.
Jesus is working as an attorney in the spirit world. He would say, "This person did such and such good deeds with faith in my name. Heavenly Father, is it not true that the devil cannot take one who tried to be good, observing the public laws since that is an agreement that was made between you and the Devil?"
The devil cannot take people who were standing in a good way. That is why people are asked to believe in Jesus. But if you believe in Jesus unconditionally, do you think you can go to Kingdom of Heaven?
You wait and see. As I visited spirit world, I saw many scenes in which famous ministers were kneeling down in the hell, saying: "Rev. Moon, I did not realize this would happen to me." Is it not a story like a dream? The leader whom you are following is such person. He is a leader with such a deep understanding on the high, fifth-dimension level world. Therefore, if you are going to follow me, you should understand such content as well. (149-98)
6. Impossible To Accuse Once We Come To Have A Citizenship
We must have a nation. But do we have one or not? [We do not.] Well, you have your own country. But the country that we are going to is a different one, the Heavenly Kingdom. Therefore, for that country, unless you were given a citizenship that is approved by the nation, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Satan cannot make accusations against people who have a citizenship from any direction whether it is North, South, West, or East, nor any time era in the past, present or future. (148-287)

Section 3. Entering The Spirit World
1. Freedom Possessed By The Citizens Of The Kingdom Of Heaven
Among women, those who lament over not having been born as a beautiful woman, please raise your hand. (laughter) Someone might say that you look like a bag that holds an umbilical cord. Yet whether you look like a bag that holds an umbilical cord or a toad, if you have a rough skin, it may be even better, thinking that it is healthier looking. If you are born beautiful, you are inclined to pursue external things for sure, 100 percent. On the other hand, ugly women will pursue internal things, not external ones. This is a fact. (laughter)
The more you pursue the external, the more trapped you are by Satan, but if you pursue the internal, a beautiful woman can be born out of such a ragged playground. Which one do you prefer? [Pursuing the internal.] Then, when you pursue the internal, would you remain inactive? Those who go that direction can freely travel the world of the external, but those who pursue the external can never travel to the side of the internal. Which one would you choose? Would you become a person who can be welcomed by both worlds or only one world? [The one who can be welcomed by both worlds.]
Then, what kind of people will the Unification Church members become? It is ideal to become a person who can travel to the world of the internal and the world of the external, and thus you can freely travel to all directions of North, South, East and West. So what we are trying to do in the Unification Church is to make a person who can be a subject of the internal world and also have dominion over the external world as well.
Since the external world was invaded by evil, if you go to that world, you will end up going to hell, but if you go to the internal world, you will end up with a good spirit world, the Kingdom of Heaven. Then you can freely travel both worlds whenever you desire to do so. So would you like to be a person who is not restricted by anyone, to travel wherever you want to go, traveling both worlds, or a person who can use only one door to enter the Kingdom of Heaven or hell? [The former.] You are too greedy. (laughter) Since Rev. Moon knows it, I am trying to become a person who can be welcomed by anyone wherever I go. That is what Rev. Moon is insisting on. That is what God is insisting. Then, how wonderful will it be?
Well, can God travel freely to hell? [Yes, He can.] Does He need to go through certain procedures to go there? [He does not.] By the same token, does He need a certain procedure to visit the Heavenly Palace? Does He need to get a special ticket and a special form to fill out? [No.] Then, can He do it freely any time as He wants to? (116-177)
2. Special Gift That Can Be Carried To The Spirit World
Ladies and gentlemen, what is the present that you can take when going to God in the spirit world? There is nothing. Not money, nor the honor that was obtained through an earthly academic degree, nor loving his or her spouse, nor living a happy life. Such things cannot be a gift. Then what is it? It is our love for God and the world. That is what is left behind from your earthly life. In John 3:16, it is written: "God loved the world that. . ." Does it say that God loves the world or you as an individual? [The world.] Does it say the Unification Church or the world? [The world.] Yes, He said that He loves the world. That is why He sent His begotten son. The begotten son came to love the world.
For this reason, if you are centered on love, you will not perish, but instead you will be saved. As the Master loves the world, we should love the world as He loves the world. What about Christians today? They are divided due into many different denominations. Is it not true? They do not think of the world nor God. When we look at Christianity that is perishing, while it is loving only their own nation and denomination, we should become a person who can transcend our own nation and denomination and love the world and God. (98-329)
Even at the court, a judge cannot do anything against a murderer without convincing evidence. If the murderer protests, "When did you see me committing the crime?" you cannot do anything against him if there is no evidence. Evidence that can support his crime must be presented. However, if evidence is presented, the murderer cannot protest his prosecution. Therefore, if you do not have evidence, you should find it. In a Christian hymn, there is a verse: "There is sufficient evidence of having received a lot by believing in Jesus." Do you have any evidence? Someone is proud of much evidence when he or she goes out for a witnessing, but do you think that this is true evidence? What good is it for you to testify about it if no one remains. It has nothing to do with evidence.
Do you have a special gift that you can carry with you when going to the Kingdom of Heaven? In the spirit world, there are many loyal subjects who are lined up as martyrs. Do you think that you can open your present in front of them? Ladies and gentlemen, please think of this. Do you think that you can unfold something so mediocre and sloppy? How much did the Unification Church or you suffer? Even though you say that you love your own nation and the world, how can you love your country and the world, if you did not experience that much suffering? You should be able to say, "It is true that we suffered, but I do not take it as a suffering." We still have a long way to go. When you go to spirit world, you should be able to say, opening your gift sack, "This is the present that I prepared all my life. Please accept it with my heart." When women marry, they take many dowries, but can they go to Kingdom of Heaven with an empty hand?
As the Unification Church members, what mission did God give to you? As God's trained soldiers, as sons and daughters of God, if you marry, you should inherit the lineage of your family. In order to do this, you take care of your family's chores and independently develop yourself. Such is your holy mission. Therefore, even though you cannot do so, you should realize that Father cannot physically live with you, and further, even if God cannot always directly give you instructions, you should never forget that you are the ones who are endowed with a mission within God's realm of management.
You should regard yourself as absolute. By so doing, you should be determined to get an eternal guarantee for the fruit that resulted from absolute value, as the treasure that belongs to all mankind, future generations and the spirit world. If you do not fulfill that responsibility, you will fall into a position that will be more miserable than a beggar. Beggars can feed themselves at least by begging for food when a meal time arrives, but the ones who failed to fulfill their responsibility would not be able to eat on time.
In order to fulfill such a responsibility, had God asked you for 10 years of your life, during that 10-year time period you should do your best with all of your heart and soul. How can you shorten the 10-year restoration time-period to make it into a 7-year course of value? In order to shorten the 10-year time period planned by God into a 7-year course, my own sweat, my own blood, my own effort, and my own toil are required. Unless you can add quantity and quality to it through your extra efforts, you cannot absorb the national and worldwide foundations. Unification Church members are the ones who should live such a life, carrying that kind of responsibility.
Today, such an era has arrived on the worldwide level. The exterior or external foundation work has been completed, and we are now in the era in which the interior or internal design work is being done. Since the interior or internal design requires last minute touch-up work by the owner, I am needed. I do not need to worry about the walls, but in order to place all of the necessary conditions together, a time period on a different stage of work is required. That is why a preparation era, a practice era, a fulfillment era, exists.
For this reason, we should make an appropriate plan for each stage in our life. During the preparation period, we should make utmost effort to make the right preparations; during the practice period, we should do our best to put the preparations into practice. And during the fulfillment era, we should fulfill our responsibility with all of our heart and mind, and only then will the interior design be done right. Whoever sees the inferior design, should compliment its quality and the effort and details of it.
For this, when a preparation era has arrived, you should not be in a position where you fail to fulfill your responsibility after you were appointed to make preparations. The next period will be followed by an era where you put it into practice. When that time comes, you should work hard day and night. Next, a fulfillment era will arrive, which is the time of hope. (32-71)
3. Three Subject Thought And Registration
Let me ask you a question. When you think of your mind and body, how pitiful is your mind? Your mind is instead of God. Your mind represents your ancestors, your teachers, and the king of your nation. Nevertheless, how much was your mind despised and held in contempt? As the center of the universe, the mind is in the position of True Parents, the subject of true love. How long and much did it toil in order to save me on this earth?
Although the mind has been dragged in contempt, and we thought that it was already killed, if we come to have a bad idea of stealing something in the early morning, it comes alive and admonishes us: "Hey, you, how can you?" The mind is in the place of parents, teachers, and the master. In the world of mind, no trial is necessary. You know yourself better than anyone else. No third person or witness is necessary.
When seeing your own parents, you should repent that you are not proud of yourself, when seeing your teachers, you should repent that you are not proud of yourself. When seeing the king of the nation, you should repent that you are not proud of yourself. And when seeing God, you should again repent that you are not proud of yourself. In order to go back to the original land, we should repent. In the original land, we should attend God as the King. God is the King of the universe, the nation, the tribe, and the family. Also, God is the teacher of the universe, the nation, the tribe, and the family. God is also the master of the universe, the nation, the tribe, and the family. This is the Three Subject Idea. Since this has the essence of the love that lives for others and then forgets about it, this three subject idea represents Heaven.
If we can possess the three-subject idea, it is the most ideal. But even if we did not, if we stand in the position of true parents, teachers will stand on the right side, and master, on the left side. Whether you become true parents, teacher, or master, if you can stand on one of those positions, there will be no problem with your being registered in the Kingdom of Heaven. Are you in such a position? (209-154)
4. The Registration Of Divine Spirits
What is the fall? It is to be separated from the relationship of the word, the substance, and heart. Therefore, you should first learn the word and live it. In order to live it, we should have a parental heart. As I told you previously, only those who went through substantial actions for the solution of grievance, for the restoration through indemnity, can give blessings. It should not be only words. Then, you become a life spirit (saeng myung che).
As was told today, we have a form spirit, life spirit, and divine spirit, which correspond to the phenomena of spirit world. Then, what level are we in there? We are like a divine spirit (saeng young che), and the course of restoration is to find our own position after being registered on that level. Therefore, from now on, you should be registered.
Once you are registered, no matter how many mistakes you make or how many times you commit misdeeds, you cannot be governed by the law established in the satanic world. Is it not the case in the secular world? Can Americans be governed by Korean laws? They cannot because their nationality is different.
If you go into such a realm, only the laws there will be applied to you. Therefore, once you transcend the laws in the satanic world, no matter what, it cannot have control over you. Since the laws in the satanic world cannot be made applicable to you, earthly laws cannot affect you. For this to be done, you should make appropriate indemnity conditions applicable to it. Then you do not need to go to hell.
As Unification Church members, if there is anyone who is confident in not dying in the future, please raise your hand. Then, is everyone thinking that we should eventually go to spirit world someday? Go ahead and answer me. Everyone should die once, right? [Yes.] Once we are born, we must die. That is a formula. Then after death, where do we go? All of the Unification Church members know that we have a spirit body, right? [Yes.] Then the spirit body should grow.
In the future, the problem that you will be faced with is that when a right time arrives, everyone should write a biography. Such a time will come recording what you did since joining the Unification Church. What is it? If you worked at a company as an employee, such a record will not be helpful at all as a right condition. On the contrary, it is a shame in the church. Such time will arrive.
Ladies and gentlemen, in the future, all of you should be registered. When North and South Korea are united, you must be registered. The word "tribal messiah" is not so important compared to the content. All the content will become indemnity conditions for you to go to your own eternal path of life. When you go to the other world, what matters is how much effort you made to go such a path and even more so, how much substantial result you brought.
Ladies and gentlemen, the path to salvation cannot be obtained through the ordinary, customary life that you have been leading so far.
It can be obtained only through a course of indemnity. The providence of salvation is the providence of restoration. And the providence of restoration is the providence of recreation. For this reason, in order to be recreated, you should return to the position of zero, the original position.
In that place, there are no rituals nor habits nor your own family name such as Kim or Yi, etc. You must enter such a state of zero. When you think of the original standard of God's creation, all of the created things start from zero.
However, due to the human fall, today human society is filled with things that are against the heavenly way. We should shake them off. We should sever them. It cannot be done with words alone. Since this world is full of different habits and customs intermingled with each other, centered on Satan's love in the relationships of Satan's life and blood lineage, each person walking a different path centered on his or her own historical and cultural background, these things cannot be removed automatically.
That is why the Bible states: "Those who want to die will live, and those who want to live will die." Such a paradoxical theory can be logical. Only when you are willing to die, you shall live. For this, you must invest all of your life. By so doing, you should launder everything. In other words, everything should be restored through indemnity. Such a process is absolutely required. Otherwise, the habitual and sinful natures possessed in the fallen world will remain, and as long as they continue, you cannot establish a relationship with God. (213-97)
5. Registration Now Must Be Done
When you go to spirit world, if you had not completed a 7-day fasting for Heaven, you cannot be registered in the other world. Why? Since God has been toiling during the course of 6,000-year restoration history, you must fast, thinking of it. That is why the Unification Church has a tradition of doing a 7-day fast. It is not to give you a hard time, but to give you the chance in front of heaven to make the condition of striking your own physical body.
How should we live? The method is as follows: An individual should live for his or her family, a family for its tribe, a tribe for its people, a people for its nation, a nation for the world, the world for heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth for God and His love. This is what we should live and die for. We are different from others. We have a clear tradition to follow.
Why? If this is not done, you cannot be registered in the other world. Since the other world is organized in such a way, unless you are meeting their requirements, you cannot be registered, and you cannot find your own space. You should enter there as an original person prior to the fall. Otherwise, you cannot enter there. This is a view from the Principle. (131-153)
You must be registered in the Kingdom of Heaven. Abraham offered himself and the creation as a sacrificial offering in order to go near God. Since the creation was lost, he used it as the condition of restoration. Since humans are lost, they stand in the position of Abel, placing the creation in the position of Abel, and having Cain make a condition to God. When it is done that way, God can finally accept the offering. (15-153)
Prior to your being registered, in order to be born as an absolute human, what are we supposed to do? Without understanding this clearly, we can never reach the place before heaven where we can claim our subject position (oo che sung), an eternal place where I should belong as an absolutely perfect being, after overcoming everything. We, humans were born centered on God. The motivation of our birth is the creator. We are made by the creator, but by what attribute of that creator are we made out of? This is the question. Did the creator create us because He wanted to let us hold diamonds since He likes them? Or did He create us because us wants to inherit His power? Or because He likes knowledge? Does He want us to inherit His knowledge? What is the origin of the beginning, the start? This is the question.
Then, what is the origin of my birth? What is it? What is the most important thing? It is life, right? What is the origin of birth? It is life. Then, can life alone be the motivation of birth? The motivation of my birth is my father and mother. I was born due to the lives of my father and mother who were bonded. But it did not take only their own lives in order to inherit the characteristics of both people. Beforehand, there was a fundamental action that brought these two lives to be connected to each other. The motivation of this action is love. Do you understand? [Yes.] When we think of what is more important between life and love, from the perspective of my own birth, life is in the secondary position. Love is in the first position.
In order to be registered, where should you go? [The original land.] It is not simple to go back to the homeland. You must pass all the procedures. Whichever country you go to, there is a window where they approve your entrance, whether it is Korea or another country, whoever is seated at that window, they should be able to stamp your passport. Do you want to know about it or not? [We would like to know.] (177-306)
6. The Person Who Can Be A Chief In The Spirit World
Once you are united with God as one, you should love Cain. If you are standing in the position where you receive love of God, with all of your life, heart, and soul, as you love God, you should love your tribe, people, and nation. This is the first commandment on earth. This is not a commandment of the Heavenly Kingdom, but is a commandment of Kingdom of Heaven on earth. The commandment of Heavenly Kingdom is: "Love your Lord, God, with all of your heart, mind, and life (Matt. 22:37), but the first commandment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth is to love your country and people with all of your heart, mind, and life.
For this reason, the question is how to multiply God's love and how can we relate to God's authority and show reverence in the Heavenly Kingdom. In order to do so, we should have a vast, horizontal stage that can relate to you. Such a person will become a chief or a chief priest who can inherit God's authority for eternity in the spirit world. (34-70)
7. Unification And The Era Of Registration
In the future, centering on God's Kingdom, an era of registration will arrive. People try to be part of 12 tribes and 144,000 group of people. Do you know what the 144,00 group of people is? An era of registration is coming. Centered on the unification of North Korea and South Korea, in order to go towards the registration era, your own tribe should stand in the position of a homeland in the Heavenly Kingdom. Then your tribe can be registered at the era of Heavenly Kingdom's registration. It cannot be done as an individual.
The time for individual salvation is gone. In the future, if a president of a country swears in after joining the Unification Church, he will also belong to the dominion of the heavenly kingdom. And if he only goes through a ceremony officiated by the church, he will no longer be governed by satanic world. So, had Christianity accepted Father and attended him in 1945, the unification of Catholic Church and Protestantism could have been surely brought by no later than 1952. Since then, 43 years are gone by. Forty years were prolonged. That is until 1992. That is why we are in the position to restore this by 1992. That is why Communism fell, Kim Il Sung fell, and even Christianity. . .
Now, Christian women will first follow Rev. Moon. The deacons represent formation stage, the elders represent growth stage, and the ministers represent perfection stage. A Korean word, "mok sa," which means a minister in Chinese characters, consists of a letter "mok" that signifies "eye" and another letter "sa" which means "death." Therefore, they are suitable to go to hell. Where does Rev. Moon belong? He belongs to "myung," which means brightness. Is my name not Sun Myung Moon? "Sun" in Chinese characters also means that it is clear and bright. What is so? Truth is.
Is it not the Unification Church principle? The Unification Church Principle means clear and bright. That is the teaching of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, True Parents, True Teacher, and True Master. Centered on this three-subject idea, we are trying to restore what had been already lost, and I pray that you will enter the Kingdom of Heaven with a royal badge! Through this, the unification of the world will be possible today. (219-100)
An important question that we should always think of is how to unite my mind and body and how to unite our wife and our own family. If our body is in the position of formation stage, husband and wife are in the position of the growth stage, and the tribe is in the position of the completion stage. That is why you must make one centered on your tribe. Do you understand what I am saying?
So, from the time when you know that I can reach my hometown, for 10 years, or rather for less than 10 years, until North and South Koreas are both united. Once there is unification between North Korea and South Korea, there will be registration. As Jesus was born on the way to registration, a registration will take place.
You should be able to participate in that era so that you would not be ashamed of yourself. Then, what you would need to do is to write down all of your own personal history since you have joined the Unification Church. If this goes wrong, you will be in trouble. When you reveal everything in detail, as to your own personal history, and go over all of this, all of it should not stop you. Only when you go over all of this, after writing it down so that you are not violated by the necessary conditions, you can finally enter the era of registration. Do you understand what I mean? [Yes.] Thus, you should be prepared for this from now on. (213-206)
8. True Parents' Pictures And Registration
During the process of restoring the kingship of Israel, the Israelites died with Moses, while wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. Understanding this, whether it is a hundred people or a thousand people, everyone should be totally united in mind and body, and should walk the same path to the place where God wants, towards the same direction that True Parents are walking, making sure that there will be no difference by even one inch.
The way of the Principle is what you need to follow. You should not go your own way as you please. In order for your ancestors to help you and pray to God for you on your behalf, you should be united as one in front of the picture of the True Parents. By so doing, only when you have authority of becoming a citizen of Heavenly Kingdom, passing through the gate of parents, they will cooperate with you, bringing freedom to the Archangel, Adam and Eve on earth. Do you understand what I mean? [Yes.] You should remain alert. If you are not serious, it will not work. In the future, the entire world should be registered. (212-59)
In the future, all Unification Church members should always carry True Parents' picture with them. Now a time has come when all Korean people would desire to hang True Parents' picture. That is the way the world is supposed to be. Such people should be trained for several years.
In Heavenly Kingdom, a registration will take place. Until now, no such thing took place. No nation was founded in the Heavenly Kingdom. There was no family, nor nation. You should know this. When people went to spirit world, all of the family members in the physical world were divided into different directions. However, from now on, such will not be the case.
If there had not been a fall, father and mother and all other family members were to enter the kingdom all together. Centering on love, from grandparent to father and mother, your own couple, and your sons and daughters, by becoming one, if they again become one with loving God and possess true love, even God would absolutely obey them. (210-366)
Not so long ago, the best photographer from Moscow who took pictures of Gorbachev was given the responsibility to prepare a special report after President Roh visited Russia. But he wanted to interview me, insisting that I am the one who should open the door, not President Roh. After the interview, I asked him: "You came again after you had come not so long ago. Why?" Then, he asked me: "Do you know what privilege I have?" I asked him, "What is it?" He answered me: "It is a secret." I insisted he answer. Then he took out a picture of Rev. and Mrs. Moon from his wallet. Then he said that without keeping it in his wallet, he cannot sleep in peace. Even many American university students are carrying a picture of True Parents.
Ladies and gentlemen, what about you? Do you also carry a picture of the True Parents? [Yes.] Really? Let me see. Well, you are lying and cheating people while you are carrying that picture with you. Mother is not there in the picture. [I am always attending her in my heart.] If you are carrying a picture of Father alone, he is lonely. Mother is more precious. I respect mother. (laughter)
You should carry a picture of True Parents together. What is this? If you carry only a picture of Rev. Moon, he is like a widower. (laughter). Then, that picture will cry. Since Mother is a woman, women must dislike another woman, Mother. [We like her.] If so, why do you carry only Father's picture? You are carrying only a man's picture. Such are women. (210-353)

Section 4. The Spirit World And Ourselves
1. Our Attitude In Front Of Spirit World
To those of us who are in the pioneering age, a Korean robe is rather uncomfortable to put on. For that reason, at times you might worship God, only wearing underwear. Isn't this right? In the battlefield, it is all right, even if you are wearing a panty. When you are fighting in the battlefield, in the midst of fighting with a gun, would you care about wearing a uniform? Especially, if you are in the most fierce battle. If you might have to die, will it be necessary for you to wear many layers of clothes? What? When you are fighting, are you only wearing a panty? At least, it will keep you cool. (laughter) Will it be a crime? They might say that it violates military rules. But they cannot say no from the strategic viewpoint. (31-204)
We'd better try until death. Let us be willing to die. When we die, we should die well. Then, after death, we come back to life. But dying well is our responsibility and reviving us is God's. If God breaks His promise to revive us, God will be the one who did not execute His own word.
When I die, if God does not keep His promise to revive me, would He leave me alone, abandoned? No. He would have to pay me back some other way several hundreds times better. Such is the formula, isn't that right? I was asked to die, and I did so because He promised me that He would resurrect me. Nevertheless, if He did not keep his own word, He would have to pay me back with even a better value because of it. In such a case, for the price of my own death as an individual, I could say, "Save my own country." Or I could ask for the salvation of the world. For that purpose, God could tell me a lie and drive me to the way of death. (44-255)
When you are faced with death, you should not try to escape from it. If you are willing to transcend the death of an individual, fighting a historical death, even if you die, you will be able to be resurrected at the time of historical resurrection. For this reason, a wise person is the one who fights desperately at the risk of his or her life, when faced with death. The wise person is willing to fiercely fight back and stick out his or her neck.
If an individual is willing to go a path of indemnity at the risk of his or her own life, and a family is doing the same, that family will come to possess a palace of the world. Do you understand what I mean? (31-171)
2. Father And Us
As I am trying to make you a son or a daughter with a qualification of going to the free world without walls or barriers when you go to spirit world, how grateful you should be for it. It is possible if you live according to my words. Since there is no boundary in the spirit world, the territory of the spirit world is endless. Yet wherever you go, all the spirit people whom you come to meet would say, "When you were a leader of such and such place, I cooperated with you." They are all your friends. They become your comrades in the same era. (162-114)
If you go to the spirit world, such things will take place. Whether you like it or not, such things take place between you and me. Would it not be so? There can be many incidents where you could not resolve certain matters for this or for that reason, and thus you are accused for a certain condition, without being able to go over a borderline where Father could go. (122-19)
What is one thing that Father is concerned about? Among you, after I die, how many people will be willing to love Unification Church members, centered on the people who love God, and before Father who desired to love God so much, but who had to leave, not being able to love Him enough. How many people will be able to weep with the same heart of Father.
If all of you can do it, when I die, as you are climbing up the mountains and passing through rivers, your passion for the love of God will be able to turn upside down the origin of history, change the current of history, and magnificently expand God's territory, despite the evil environment. Then even if I become a handful of dirt in the mountains and rivers, I will praise God in joy and pray for the glory and victories of God forever. (22-108)
When you go to spirit world, even if you see me and say, "Father, didn't I see you at Chung Pa Dong church?" I will see you only with the glasses of the Principle. Do you understand? Father will see you with the glasses of the Principle with which he had been walking in his course of life. By so doing, if you are fit to that standard, you will be admitted, but if not, you will not be. (23-203)
Father is now famous. Father accomplished a lot and is now standing on the glorious foundation, but he desires to leave, after inheriting to you all of the foundation, all who were brought to me in the relationships of love. He wants to inherit what belongs to Him to you as yours. He wants to leave everything to the people who inherited the foundation that He loved all humanity, parents, and heaven with true love that resembles Him. It is an inheritance for one hundred percent.
Well, when they come to spirit world, who will they look for at once? They will look for True Parents. Then, I will bequeath all of my possessions to them as I did on the earthly plane. How amazing it is! Due to true love, since everything could be inherited from God, you must understand that with true love, True Parents want to bequeath everything to their children. It is the same for me. Centered on true love, Father was given everything, including spirit world, but He also desires to bequeath everything to His children centered on true love. Do you understand? [Yes.] Even in the spirit world, I intend to inherit such a glorious position to you one hundred percent. Eventually, you must pass through this world at once. You must be prepared for this. (147-48)
