Good morning.
What’s important to us is outreach, right?
Am I reaching you?
I you could make a simple slogan; I guess we could say "If it’s un-relatable it’s un-reachable.
When we think about reaching out to people, we have to have some sort of way in which we can relate to them. When you focus on the relativity issue, relatable issue, you have to do it with people’s expectations. You have to address expectations so you can relate because everybody has expectations.
It can vary, but there is basic stuff that we all know is right and that we all know is wrong. So there is a concept of right and wrong that we generally understand and accept. And based on that understanding which is pretty much the thing that governs our lives, our deeds, we have an expectation to be a higher self, to be a better person, to be a more successful person.
Before you go out and try to start doing some kind of outreach activity, you have to kind of answer that before you try because you’ll learn it the hard way. One way or another you’ll learn the life lesson, but you will learn it the hard way. So it’s better to know your self prior to actually trying something, which is normal if you’re trying to help people, to reach out to people. You have to answer the question: "What is my expectation?"
How do I define right and wrong on issues, and based on that what am I doing to try to be active in my life. What is my pursuit? How does it affect; how does it connect to the ultimate goal of actually reaching out to people so that I feel good about myself in the eyes of God because I believe in God. So what is my expectation? What do I want out of myself and the life that is ahead of me?
These days the health movement is out there right? They want to get healthier; they want to put a lot of good stuff into their body and get stronger and healthier to they can live longer. More and more people are recognizing that you have to put a lot of good stuff in your body so you can have a healthier life. If you don’t manage that properly, if you’re not vigilant about it, obviously you will suffer the consequences. There are always consequences, cause and effect, right? Especially for children this is very important, in the maturation, the growth period it is very important for them to have a proper healthy diet. It’s very important that you see in the world that so many people, not just children, but even adults, are dying of hunger. And all sorts of tragic injuries are out there. That’s real.
Let’s try to take one step at a time. It breaks your heart. You want to reach out and just help everybody and change all that (snaps finger) at the snap of a finger. That’s unrealistic. So we have to think about how we can better take care of ourselves so that ultimately we can do a lot of good things, because you have to be strong right?
So good nutrition is important for children and also for old people. You can take risks during a certain period of your life when you are a young adult. You can sometimes take in toxins and experiment because of the curiosity factor and because the world is the way it is and you have so many images out there that provoke your curiosity. Some people will dabble in it: most people will dabble in it, especially living in the, quote free unquote society.
Everybody wants to live longer. As you get older and older that becomes very important. So as much as it is important for your body to put a lot of good stuff in there, so it is for your mind and so it is for your heart. You know we’re not just here living with the body. The way we think is very important too, and it’s influenced by the stuff that we put into our heads. That’s the basic point of reference that you use to determine things.
It’s like when you expose yourself to certain unhealthy food situations, the same thing. You will have many side effects of putting a lot of garbage into your head. I think it’s more important that we have some kind of environment in which we can expose ourselves to goodness, and the good things that people can do and say to one another, mostly good deeds. Actions speak louder than words.
If you can capture that kind of stuff and expose people to it, let the people in general see that there’s that kind of stuff out there and we choose to live that way, to be exposed only to the right things that can make us healthy, we will become healthier.
When we become healthier, as a greater unit, the ability that we can project, that we can manifest in helping others, reaching and out and helping others to change for the better can also become more powerful.
How do you achieve that? That’s why I believe that systematically we have to work on that question and bring a solution. And there are models out there. Television is nothing other than a living news paper. There are columns, pages on politics, society, religion, culture, life style, entertainment, it’s just there. Pretty much that’s the way we’re living in the modern world. That’s how we consume all the information that is out there. TV is the main medium for exposure. From that medium everything gets radiated out. And based on the information, the things that are being radiated outward, they can form your thoughts. That is reality, and it works! It’s very effective.
In the future we’ll get… it’s not that difficult because more and more systems are getting cheaper, even HD (High Definition TV) stuff. If it becomes internet viable we can create a broadcasting company. It’s not a star away. It’s literally doable. All you need is a production crew and the capability to maintain and manage it in terms of livelihood. That’s all it takes. Having a big station like the old days is a kind of symbolism of the past. You really don’t need it, but you can have it because you do need some kind of centralized symbolism. It does cater to human needs to have some kind of attachment to something, like having your own house or something. Making your presence known, it’s important in relationship to other people. Other people aren’t going to change that quickly so in terms of politics it’s necessary I guess, or, to put it nicely, diplomacy.
Sure, it’s doable. If you want that we can have that. That’s not a problem. We’re working on it to make it happen so that it can independently achieve that. It’s better in terms of offering. Take less from Father and give more.
It’s doable. An annual budget of $10.000, 000 can do it no problem. It depends on where you set up shop. The cost varies. The Fatherland, geographically, it is a promising place. It’s only two hours from Japan, two hours from China and not so far from Russia because you can unite that north and south divided situation. It’s not a different country; it’s just a division.
We have you here. Father spent one third of His life here investing so He can unite all the archangel nations. We have more work to do in terms of the other two, but regionally it’s (Korea) right there. So it (multimedia operation) can be done when we can create that kind of model.
How often have you felt lonely? What is the cure-all for loneliness?
Love!!!
(Laughing) Love stuff, right?
There are many ways to show that kind of stuff. You can literally showcase. You don’t need a great person to show that. You can even see it in starving children. To showcase that kind of loving humanity regardless of where you come from, what region, what kind of situation, regardless of age, If we are constantly exposed to those kinds of things, how can we be evil? How can you raise your children evil?
It’s out there! I just need the crew to go out and get it so we can show it to you. Then it can be done. Then we can start the change. We can reach out to people. People will be reachable. Some people are just stubborn; they don’t want to change. They force them selves away from change. There are some knuckleheads that live that way.
The polar ice cap is melting, so people can melt. (Laughter) Maybe there is more water to drink. Billions of people are drinking everyday. Billions of gallons are being consumed right? We need more water.
It can be done. We can do that. We can change people. We can reach… The more you have those (good multimedia content) the better that you can reach out to people because you have something to make that connection.
As you get older, you’re going to get interested in that kind of stuff because you know you will die, absolutely; and you want to know as much as you can about what love is if you didn’t know what that is. And some people are willing to give it (information) to you, show it to you and move you. Because love will move mountains, right? And they will change.
It will take time, but you will change; you have no choice. God will win, right?
That’s doable. It’s Absolutely Doable. That’s how people change. I know this. That’s how I change. If I can change, people can change. So we just have to make that happen.
That’s it. It’s That Simple!
And it’s doable. We’re working on it.
You’ll be the first ones to know.
You’ll be the first ones to see...that stuff.
Because it’s for all, right?
Not for me alone, right?
OK
Take care.
