Today my topic will be, "Those Who Want To Change VS. Those Who Want To Keep Things The Way They Are." Today I want to focus this message on several examples.

Most of you are blessed members. I gather that most of you have children. It is difficult raising children because there are so many things that come into their lives. You as a parent must understand what is right and wrong for your children, because they do not have the ability or the understanding to separate right from wrong. You must separate what is right from what is wrong in your children's lives. That is the responsibility of a parent. It is as simple as that.

Fulfilling that responsibility is not an easy task. Although your children are young, they have minds of their own and it is very difficult to control their lives. Picture yourself taking something your child likes away from him because you feel it will be detrimental to him. Even though your child wants it you have the duty to take it away. You have an obligation to take what is not appropriate away from that child. Is that responsibility easy to fulfill? Those of you who have done that know how difficult it is. It is difficult emotionally and mentally and many times it's difficult physically to sort out the situation so that child can see from your point of view.

Picture yourself trying to take something away from a 300 pound gorilla. You can take something away easily from a child, for example a very harmful, sugar coated candy, easily because you are much stronger than your child. Without even giving an explanation, you can physically take it away. However, when you're dealing with a 300 pound gorilla, which is much stronger than you, obviously the task will be much greater and more difficult. Why am saying this? Simply because my topic today is those who want who want to change things versus those who want to keep things the way they are.

Our responsibility as the Unification Church is to change this world based on Principle. We understand the value of the Principle; we understand why it is important and we understand that what the world has to offer is not correct in terms of God's Providence and Will. It doesn't come near what God expects from mankind. We want to change this world, but it is going to be very difficult without us having the proper strategy, goals and means to make change. It is not as simple as taking candy or a harmful toy away from a child. Compared to taking a toy from a child, taking something from a gorilla is difficult. However, even taking something from a gorilla does not compare to the difficulty of our responsibility to change this world.

One of our staff members at the Manhattan Center brought to me an article. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, American teenagers view television an average of 10,500 hours between seventh grade and twelfth grade. That amount of time is equivalent to a child's' attendance in an academic institution from kindergarten to the end of high school. So, they're actually watching television more than twice the amount of time they're going to school. It averages to five hours every day. You don't have vacation from television. There are no Saturdays or Sundays or weekends. It is consistent viewing day after day. An entire chunk of the child's lifetime, over 10,500 hours, is spent watching television.

And why do they watch? It's not just mere entertainment. For children, the television is a source of information and the source of their livelihood. They gain ideas about how life is and how they should dress, how they should find friends and what kind of friends they should find. They learn what kind of friends are cool and acceptable and what kind are not. They are literally being educated more substantially by the television than by the educational system.

I stand here and look at you, and I consider how you educate your children. You might educate your children when they're young, but what happens to your children when they go out into society and start to mingle with others? They have to go to school. Do we have schools in our church? Do we have our own universities in America? Do we have the educational facilities that we need for our children in the American church? No. It's a very serious point. Your children are growing up. How are you going to educate these kids? Without having the means to educate your children properly, how are you going to set the right standard and explain the bad standard as a parent? How are you going to separate right from wrong without the proper means to educate your children? You need some means to have a certain effect in your child's life.

When you look at your body, what is the most important thing? Of course the major organs, your arteries and veins are all important. However, your nervous system is very important. It is the system which relays messages and information, which is vital to your health. When you don't have full control over this media, it is going to be very difficult to send a clear message, not just to one single cell or single individual, but to the entire body of an organism. You must have a proper alignment and proper order and based upon that you must have a proper system to communicate. You must have a proper medium through which to share information with one another. That is essential.

Some people are saying, "Let's stick to the old ways of filling up lecture halls." That's the old way, the traditional way. Let's play with numbers for a second. We have to educate five billion people. Are you going to physically get five billion people into a physical place? If that is your idea, fine. Let's see how realistic that is. In order to take people off the streets and collect them in one place and physically give lecture on a one to one basis, you would need to gather a thousand people every day for fourteen thousand years.

Let's raise the number. If you gathered one million people every day, it would still take fourteen years to educate all five billion people on earth. Let's exclude children-it would still take over a decade to physically educate five billion people. If you want to do that, go ahead.

I decided to speak about this after I heard some things several weeks ago, but I didn't come last week because I was busy. I remember one time I came here and spoke to you about special effects, particularly dealing with Terminator 2. Before I mentioned it I specifically said that, the content of the movie is stupid and childish, however, look at the nuclear holocaust scene. I have seen many documentaries about nuclear testing, but what I saw in that one particular scene, which only lasted a split second, when this bomb exploded in a metropolitan area and flattened out whole buildings, looked so realistic. I said this because it is our responsibility is to show the people of this world today what they can expect tomorrow. Father is telling them, "Hey, listen to this principle and take it to your heart". Why? Because tomorrow will be a better tomorrow.

I was just making a statement and somebody said "Oh, this childish reverend." This lack of understanding and disunity is a disease in our church. You still haven't separated from your stupid arrogance and self made pride. Why do I take my time to come and speak to you? Some of you appreciate it and write me letters. The only reason I come here is because I want to do something to help Father and I feel the Unification Church has to be a little more in control of the times. We're the prophets. We must be on top of, we must have dominion over, the present time, space and environment. That is why I am telling you, look at the Christians. We sooner or later have to face them and confront them based on the truth of how things should be in the ideal world. That is our responsibility and it is right ahead of us. All these television ministers are going full force trying to gain control over the cultural media and information media. Many of you, many of the first generation leaders, especially the Korean leaders and some Japanese too, are not up to date. It's different from your time.

When I was growing up in the sixties in Korea, we had television only in the wealthy, privileged houses. I didn't grow up with a full understanding of the impact of telecommunications. Not to mention what the elders might have thought about it based upon when they grew up. The only way to converse or communicate with each other in the past was through literature and through writing. That is a different format. Today is a completely different era. We are con-Ling closer to a time where Father can literally have control over the environment of this world. just because you haven't really experienced the effect of telecommunications fully first hand, and the power and influence it has, does not give you the right to just brush it aside. It is your duty to understand how the world is working and how the world is changing. It is your obligation to have complete, full comprehension about the changing attitude in the circumstance in the world to support and serve Father. That is your responsibility, not to just hold on to the old ways.

Even when we write literature, the main focus is to spread the message. Spreading the word is the essence when we write. When kids listen to music four or five hours every day, what happens? Do they just listen to physical phenomena? No way! Many of you don't like it because I use foul language. I'm very up-front. You sit there nodding and yawning. We don't need arrogant people like that. You just wait and see. If you are such a know-it-all, where is your substantial result? Without having anything, without bringing any substantial results to change the world, you sit there idle and conceited.

It is very important for us because the media is changing people. Why do you think so many companies are spending millions of dollars to use media for a greater market share? Do you think they're stupid? No, they do it because it works. It influences people. Why do they plaster sexual images one after another? Ninety five percent of all the images shown on MTV have to do with explicit sex. It is sexual exploitation. Look at all the commercials which sell sneakers, clothes, even cars to your children. They're using naked bodies. They're using all this illicit imagery to excite young people. Thoughtless people, people who are bound to their regular routines, they are helpless in a sense, because physically they are limited. They have literally reached the end of physically maintaining their sanity. They really do not have greater energy to go probing deeper into how things are working. So they just follow the regular routines. These people are the victims. Yes, there are a handful of people who are aware of this exploitation and are sane. But they are not effective. Why? They do not have the right means. They really do not understand how the entertainment medium works. They are very naive in terms of understanding how things work. They are very naive in terms of creating in an appropriate manner so that it will appeal to the masses. They might have some content but they lack the ability to externally package it.

Why is telecommunications so important and so effective in the reaching children? Because they are growing. Ideally, as children mature through the growth period, they are to observe the ideal things. Through observation you learn. Satan completely has dominion over this medium which presents, in a very appealing way to the children, how he says things are. When you and I as Unificationists have no control whatsoever to effect these means, then who ultimately does have control? Satan does, the outside world does. They have absolute control over these external media imagery. While they are growing up, children are constantly being bombarded by satanic imagery. No wonder American children are going down the tubes. No wonder America is becoming more and more decadent.

But as I said earlier, in the end of the world, this is an ideal phase. What is the ideal phase? People becoming more autonomous and independent. You can see it all over the world. It is happening in more and more countries. Even communism is clearly dead. More and more nations are changing their policy and political structure and constitution and adopting democratic ways. Why is this so important? Because in the last days, the Messiah will come with truth and reveal it, and every individual must be involved in their own perfection process. They must adopt the truth and become one with the truth by their own free will. Based on their own effort they must transform and restore themselves. You can't do it by any other means. In order to be restored, every individual must be perfected. In respect to restoration, this is the way it should be. That is why the world is changing in that way. I have said that many times. I have stood here many times. I know specifically I said this twice.

So we have to be ready to introduce Father's message properly. Some people will say, "Well, if we can educate a thousand people, maybe we can rely on this notion." This notion being the "relay method": if a thousand people get educated they can go out and educate another thousand. That is a chain reaction theory. Do you know the problem of that theory? You lose consistency. When it comes to telling Father's view, you can't rely on so many people. Even if I educate 100 people here in this room, everybody has their own understanding of what I say. They will formulate what they were told with their own examples and when you are dealing with nuances it is very difficult to be specific and precise. The chain reaction theory does not work well. It isn't effective. Everyone has their own understanding of principle, which is not good. You sit there and you expect Father to tell you this and tell you that. If Father says one thing, you cheer, if he says something else you get negative. You jeer and cheer based on your own liking. That is the reality I see every time I come and hear Father speak. I have no obligation to tell you these things. You should be telling me these things. You already should have prepared all these things on your own. I'm telling you how it is. This is not boasting. You might think it is. Why? Because you are projecting the way you actually think.

So having the means to convey clearly and precisely what Father intends when he teaches Principle is very important. Having dominion over that is a very important process. Let's take another example. We have a problem with a union. There are so many unions in America. Of course we realize communism has no place in this world anymore, but in America there are avid supporters of unions. Of course now the trends are changing. Why? Because unions are screwing up everything. On television, one union official said that the reason the factories are failing is not because of the unions, but because of the competition of non-union companies. When you unionize all the companies and corporations of the world, you will negate that particular problem. That was his solution. Unionize the whole economic system! I guess that is what they believe. That is their solution to their failure.

But what is proper and what is ideal is based on what God has created. What is the most important component of your body? Your brain. Much of the work processing food, separating it and digesting the nutrient intake by which your body carries on, is done in your stomach. But without the brain can your body survive? What unionization promotes is the union becoming a central point in the corporate structure and everything else becoming a subsidiary to it. That is exactly the fall of man. I'm not saying that corporate America, especially executives and managers, are in the position of God. But in respect to how physical things are formulated, an ideal entity must follow the model of the ideal body which God created. That form must be followed.

The people of a union really have little to do with formulating the base for a particular corporation. They might be the actual doers, those who carry out the formula the executives have planned. Who actually finalizes the perfection of God's creation? Man. Man does the work. God does all the work but the actual finalizing perfection of creation is done by man. You must represent the ideal principle relationship in any body in order to create an ideal organism. You must follow the ideal example. That is why a union never works, but is counterproductive. The objective figure becomes subject and the subjective figure becomes object. Union people demand ridiculous amounts of money. As you start a business and your company gets bigger and bigger, at one point you start worrying because sooner or later you have to worry about your employees unionizing. That's why all of corporate America separates their companies. They don't want to make a conglomeration of factories which allows thousands and thousands of people to get together and create a union. Because if they do, the company has to close or give in to their demands. That is why American companies are failing. Do unions think about the company? No. They think about their wages. They want more money.

Everything has to be apportioned properly according to the individual's output for the well being of society, for the well being of the whole. Everything can't be counted on an individual basis, but ideally on a lineage basis. That's why in the principle there is such a thing as bequeathing. In God's ideal world there is such a thing as inheritance. Nobody has the right to take that away. All these political and economic structures is not based on God's formulation and that is why the world is screwed up.

Why do I have to resort to these stupid examples? You should know these things. Let's take another example. How are you going to deal with mans desire to be intoxicated? Do you have any solutions? I have a very unique staff. just the other day one of them brought me an article. It was from the New York Times. A study had been done by a research group at Harvard University. They took 50,000 medically associated personnel, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, veterinarians, nurses, everybody who had something to do with the medical profession within the age group of 45 to 70. I guess the research lasted for five years. Based on this research, people who consumed alcohol, up to thirty grams a day, had a twenty five percent less chance of having a heart attack. I don't have a great deal of wisdom about medical details, but according to their conclusion, alcohol enhances elements in the bloodstream. There is HDL, high density lipoproteins and LDL, low density lipoproteins, in your blood. Lipoproteins are found in every blood cells. Lipids are one of the elements of lipoprotein. It's a fatty substance essential to living organisms. However, if you have too much of it, it clogs your blood. What alcohol does is dissolves lipids. It kind of cleans up your arteries. The alcohol actually loosens your blocked arteries so it enhances good cholesterol and decreases bad cholesterol. That was their conclusion.

So based on this kind of scientific data, how are you going to go out and say, "Since we are a religious group and we don't believe in self-indulgence or pleasure seeking, you will from now on, abstain. We will pronounce a prohibition of any type of intoxicating agents." It's clearly stated in the Principle in the general introduction that we have to bring the spiritual world and the physical world together, the religious world and this world together. This is our responsibility. How are we going to do it? Are we going to follow the bandwagon of other religious groups that say let's prohibit everything? What is ideal? In my opinion, just as you received principle on your own, nobody forced you, it is important for us to state what is true. Scientific data is necessary. We have to have a scientific team researching every happening that will somehow affect the human living condition. We have to go that route and say to people, this is fact, this is the truth. Of course we will continuously research how we can serve you better so you can go out and live a very functional and productive life in terms of serving God.

I'm not advocating being drunk or being intoxicated, I am advocating responsibility. We have to inform people and every individual has to make their own responsible decision. We have to be the vanguard, we have to start to say that as a religious community. The reason that Father worries so much when it comes to these intoxicating agents is because when you get drunk under normal circumstances, because you are so influenced by this world, you will fornicate. Today, getting drunk equals fornication. But no, no, no, that's not the way it should be. Getting drunk, being intoxicated, equals productivity. Think about getting drunk. I can write better music because I am using the right side of the brain. I'm not justifying anything. This is a serious problem. You cannot prohibit this. You have an obligation to listen to Father. When Father says no, you can't. Although Father will sooner or later lift that temporary ban on alcohol, you must lay the condition of obedience. Do you understand? Until you become responsible you cannot touch when Father says don't touch. Until you fulfill your tribal messiah responsibility and have substantial tribes offered to True Parents and God, you cannot touch. It's not because it's bad. Of course Father trusts you; however, you need a condition to separate from Satan. The condition of indemnity has to be on every level. Don't think I'm just justifying anything, you little nincompoops. You think I'm more stupid than you? Don't think like that.

When I was in Japan last year, please listen I'm not boasting, I only say this after one year has passed but when I went to Japan, Matsuzaki and some of the Japanese leaders went with me. I witnessed the kind of influence the cultural media has on people. The witnessed it. They saw ten thousand young Japanese members, college students, literally singing with me They knew all my lyrics. They were singing with m and the result was that last year they doubled their previous highest record of witnessing results in the history of Japanese CARP. Did you testify, Matsuzaki? I never said anything. Just because I don't say things, don't think I'm stupid. I don't like to say anything until I do it, maybe that's the difference between me and you.

I gave them my guitar after I performed, and their band was truly inspired. They've really been going out and learning new tricks and creating new songs. They just finished a tour of Red China. They took that format of music and gathered thousands of people; a captive audience. They gave Otsuka-san, the president of Japanese CARP, a natural occasion to testify on behalf of Father about Father's works. People were very receptive. It was a great opportunity to reach thousands of people at once. Now he is a believer. just because I don't say things the way you like to hear them, does not mean I am not speaking the truth. Maybe you have to give a little more effort in trying to understand what I am trying to convey to you. You ungrateful people. That kind of attitude made Father suffer so long. Of course you can blame that kind of attitude on the historical deception of leaders, but come on, you are the believers. If you are believing in Father, why do you still hold on to the old ways? That is wrong. I have every right to be angry about that. I am angry at your arrogance and your self made pride. I'm angry that you are still holding on to your fallen nature. No matter what I do, I will never deceive Father again. I will never betray Father because I realize, in the things I am telling you, the importance of my responsibility. It is important for my future to take care of the second generation. Getting a degree only gives me convenience, but what I have to be the leader of the second generation. I have to have these things now if I am going to run with the Christians and compete with them and the rest of the world. That is the only reason.

I just talked about unions, and having a proper order, a proper principled relationship. Take this concept. Just because your parents were bad parents should we just throwaway the concept of parentalism? Just because you haven't perfected it, does it give you the right to just throw away the Principle? It gives you more incentive and more reason to make it right. Just because you are hurt, for whatever reason, do you have to throw away the Principle? That is wrong. What kind of rationality and logic is that? With that kind of logic can you restore this world and create an ideal? Give me a break! The Principle tells us what Father has revealed. Father has revealed the fallen nature. The actual committing of the fall was a sexual act and what we have to restore is the lineage. I understand that when we go to lectures and workshops, the lectures stress one particular thing. This is not my day to criticize everybody, but I have to say what I have to say. You can't just stress fornication as the complete basis, or general reason behind the fall. You have to stress all the fallen natures; not being like God, deviating from position, false subjugation and spreading the evils of fornication. All of those. You know why? There is a simple reason. I have witnessed over the years, those holy, holy people who pray everyday, who live a celibate life, they go and they denounce Father. They say, "I am the messiah." They say, "Father is wrong on this. I heard it when I prayed." That's falling. That's just as potent as you going and fornicating. Of course when you fornicate it is physical; you create some physical things. However, the action I mentioned is equally detrimental and devastating. That is why I do not believe in advocating only fornication as the cause of the fall. You have to stress all the fallen natures. They are equally important.

That is what I saw. Many people who prayed from twelve o'clock to four o'clock everyday, who did cold showers everyday, became disobedient to Father. Why is that? Because our church has not stressed proper order and position. This is deviating from the true position. That's why I always talk about that. I know that's important, I don't want to hurt Father. You can't think, "I don't fornicate Father, so I'm pure." When you do not manifest proper Principle relationship in your life, you are just as much a sinner as a fornicator. That's how I see it. Take that.

It has everything to do with changing the world and changing even those who want to hold on to their own ways. We really have to unite centering on a clear understanding of Principle. We have to now go out and become masters of all these things that affect our lives and the lives of those around us. That is our responsibility. I think the things that I have said are relevant to my topic today. We have to change the ways of those who want to hold on to their ways.

When you come straight out with the confronting value system of the Principle, they are going to be defensive. You have to have a strategy because we must inevitably confront them. But how are we going to do that? We have to be wise. The beauty of today is wisdom just not belong to a few select individuals. The beauty of mass communication is that it brings wisdom to the hands of the masses. So you have to use this trend and bring changes within individuals because more and more the trend will change toward democracy, autonomy, individual autonomy. That is good, we want that. That is why we have to present it correctly, precisely and consistently; what Father wants to see in the ideal world to the people of today and tomorrow. That's our responsibility. I don't give a hoot what you say to me, I'm absolutely dedicated to this.

Our video studio will be finished this year. I just want you to be proud of the fact that Manhattan Center will have the largest studio on the east coast. Right now I am building an eighty four channel audio studio. It is the largest studio on east coast. I am not getting a single penny from Father. I am doing everything on my own with our staff and we're almost there. Those of you who saw the Paul Simon concert in Central Park, it was broadcast nationwide through our studio bus. All the industry, I hate to do this, but I guess I have to tell you these things, is looking at us as the new kids on the block, and because of the attitude of our employees and staff, they have a different attitude toward Father. Its these kinds of things that I am worried about. That is going to happen in the movie industry too, once I start putting our people into that loose environment called Hollywood, just as our engineers with sufficient means go out to engineering society and are accepted. You must have substantial value to be accepted in this world. In a way it's an ideal. But it has to be converted to an ideal way of respecting one for substantial result and effort; the foundation of substance. It's very important. So what you have substantially accomplished is very important, even in the ideal world. But this will be determined differently than how it is determined now in today's society. Now the determining factor is s elf- gratification and self elevation. But it should be different. Accomplishment affects not just you and I, but everybody.

You want to compare results? Let's do it. We'll see who beats who. I'll challenge you.

Once I have the video studio you can use it. If the project is good, you can use my facilities because I'll use it for the purpose of serving Father. Right now, realistically, for us to use the Washington studio for in-house work is impractical and unrealistic. They are in tremendous debt. All of the studio has to be dedicated to commercial purposes to cover the costs of paying off the debt plus operation. But we are a different story. We can go without anything. All the staff members are blessed Unificationists. They will go twenty four hours without anything. They have total dedication. That is the difference. That is what I am proud of. I want you to be proud too. Make something that we can all take pride in and let's change America. America is different, it is a very indulgent society. Let's be keen to the reality and bring realistic change to America. The Soviet Union and China are no problem, they are like unspoiled children. America is the spoiled child. We need more drastic and extreme measures to change America. Just because you belong to the economic community don't hate what I am doing because it is low in terms of the degree in society. You have to liberate hell in order to build the kingdom of heaven, don't forget that. I don't care about status credentials, I just do what I have to do to make change in America and the world.

Bring good ideas to me. I plan on continuously expanding this medium. With Father's blessing I will bring victory. So let's do it together. I want more people having substantial offerings so that we can make a difference. I want people to give me substantial offerings that I can use. In order for us to create a fifteen second, three dimensional animation, it takes a professional with the highest technical equipment, which he has mastered, five hours. Let's say I want to create a lecture series in animation. I need hundreds of hours to create it for children and for you. We only have a handful of people, less than two dozen staff members. Not to mention we have all the facilities in Washington.

Allot your time wisely. Do your mission and if you have spare time go and learn some skills. Take time to go and do something. I'm taking my time to come and speak to you. Do you know how much I have to put myself through mentally to come and speak to you? I've got a lot of things on my mind because I'm involved in very detailed things. I'm up to here with loans and debts, but I'm not going to run to Father. It's killing me. Is that it, is that my responsibility? No, it's not. Forget that. Make time and learn more skills that can have a proper influence on the future of our second generation and your children. Please think about that. Be a thinking, loving parent. Father is teaching you to inherit that. Don't just love your children.

I have received videos from some of you that you made on your own. I want to see more of them. We can really update your quality once we have the studio. I know some of you are out there who have good intentions and interest and who understand the importance of what I'm doing. We can work together in the future. I want more of you to get involved.

With that, thank you! I am finished!

Restoration Through Indemnity

Hyo Jin Moon
August 18,1991
Belvedere, New York

Good morning. I have chosen "Restoration Through Indemnity" as my topic today. Before I go into it, I just want to share a little about what Father is doing. I had an opportunity to spend about a week with Father in Alaska. I returned several days ago.

Father is now with the executive editors of The Washington Times. He asked the staff and representatives of The Washington Times to come and join him. Prior to their coming, Father had newly elected Japanese leaders with him. By now most of you should know that Japan has been divided into almost eighty regions. Father has called thirty six of those regional directors to Kodiak, Alaska. While I was with Father, he spoke to them constantly from early in the morning until late at night. Father spoke about many great and inspirational things, especially about what we need to do for the future. He talked about the role of the Japanese people in the course of the dispensation.

So Father has been busy. The reason I am telling you this is that Father is still on the front line, still concerned about the welfare of every individual. The reason that I have chosen this topic today, is that once again I want to stress that we have to understand our responsibility and the role we must play in God's providence. There was obviously disunity at the time of the Fall. The union between man and God was lost. What caused the loss of union between God and man? You can state it in many ways. One prime explanation would be, it was due to the lack of faith; the lack of understanding. Adam did not completely understand his role. He did riot completely comprehend the nature of his responsibility in the task of perfecting the creation. He could not see the inherent quality of the principle of creation realized. He did not truly comprehend what kind of role he had to play in order for God to realize His ideal world. So, one reason is lack of understanding.

Another is, due to faithlessness, man lost the bond. Another way you can say it, is that man lost faith in the relationship between himself and God. Why do you drift away from your loved one? Because you lose faith in the relationship. You felt you had love, that there was something there; some kind of attraction. Prior to your losing faith, you felt you had something to keep you together; something you could hold onto. But you drift away, because you lose that feeling, you lose that faith. Adam, for whatever reason, drifted away from the close relationship which existed between God and man.

Of course you can blame the fall on many causes. You can blame it on temptation. That was the motive. However, the bond was broken due to lack of faith. When you look at Adam's position, he represented God in a substantial manner. He was to become a true object of God to reciprocate with God on the level of God-likeness. That was the most important thing. Adam was supposed to be a God-like object to Heavenly Father. It was important for him to realize the importance of his responsibility and know what God was asking him to do. Adam was in the position to become God-like; to truly inherit and become the object who could reciprocate with God. So he needed the ability to respond appropriately and have give and take with everything that God possessed. He needed the ability to handle a tremendous amount of responsibility and tremendous amount of understanding.

If you look at the course of restoration, you're looking at the process of historical restoration beginning from Adam's family to Noah's family to Abraham's family, to Jesus and ultimately to the second coming. These are the time periods in history where significant figures are stressed a great deal in the church. And there is good reason. You understand the course of restoration through recreation. Because of the failure of Adam and Eve, we must recreate the position in which God can attempt once again to realize His ideal kingdom. In order to realize His ideal kingdom, He must have an ideal family. He must have a sole representative who can symbolize one living God. That is an important thing and it took ten generations from Adam and Eve to the time of Noah, to prepare for the time to start again and recreate the garden of Eden.

It took ten generations because to restore the kingdom of heaven on earth you must restore three worldly stages of human development. That is formation, growth and perfection within the womb; formation, growth and perfection in the physical world; and formation, growth and perfection in the spiritual world. Why must you restore these stages? In order for you to realize the kingdom of heaven in spirit world, you must realize the kingdom of heaven on earth. That is the most important thing. Although you might have perfected yourself physically, you might have reunited with God, it does not give you the right to enter the kingdom until you have made the substantial condition in which you can restore the kingdom of heaven on earth.

Restoration through indemnity means you must substantially undo what you have substantially done. That is the basis of the principle of restoration through indemnity. The condition has to be substantially manifested. What I am telling you is the condition in which you are to restore the kingdom has to be substantially manifested. Restoration through indemnity tells us you must substantially undo what you have substantially done. That is the law of nature. In order for you to neutralize a certain force moving in one direction, you must have an equal amount of force to stop it. If you want to deflect an object, which lets say, is heading to your left, to make it go right, whatever barrier you construct to impede that object must have a greater momentum than that of the object travelling toward the left. Once you have a greater force or source of momentum, then you can deflect to the right, the object which is travelling to the left.

That is why throughout history, when you look at the course of indemnity, there is a great deal of suffering. It's obvious. Why? First of all, you need at least, an equal amount of force to stop the momentum toward deviation; the fall. At the same time, you must have a greater force available to deflect it back toward the original ideal path of perfection. That is an obvious example. You must have these things.

When you look at these representative families in God's dispensation, there is one interesting phenomena occurring. It took ten generations from Adam to Noah. Within Noah's family there was disunity between the father, Noah and the son, Ham. Based on his disobedience, Ham became the rallying point in which he brought his brothers to deceive, to abandon, to reject and disunite with his father. Before I go on let me just say, from Noah, it took ten generations for God to take another chosen person, Abraham. But, from Abraham to Jesus, there is a two thousand year period. It's not just ten generations, it's two thousand years. Why? According to the Bible, from Adam to Abraham it was two thousand years and from Abraham to Jesus was two thousand years. Why, all of a sudden is there this substantial jump? From

Adam to Noah there was ten generation and from Noah to Abraham there was ten generations, but from Abraham to Jesus, there were two thousand years. Why is that? Simple. In the time of Noah the failure was due to the object. When the object fails, indemnity is equal. But in the time of Abraham, Abraham himself was the one who broke the faith, the commandment, who broke God's expectation. Abraham broke the will of God. So when the subject breaks the will of God, the indemnity becomes greater.

When you look at the time from Jesus to the second coming, it is the same two thousand years. Why is it equal. Why? Jesus did not fail. His disciples failed. The objects of Jesus Christ failed. Of course you can say he did not fulfill his mission of becoming a True Parent. It's true, he did not, but that is different. He failed because he did not have the opportunity. He understood the importance of becoming True Parents. He always talked about himself as a bridegroom. He longed for the day to receive a bride, but he was crucified. All of his disciples abandoned him and betrayed him. Because of their faithless ... when you talk about the course of restoration, you are trying to restore the faith.

In Noah's family, Noah represented God and his sons, who were children -- the object, represented Adam and Eve. The children who were representing Adam and Eve failed to fulfill their responsibility of absolutely uniting with Father Noah who was representing God. Due to their faithlessness, sin was committed. That condition became something which Satan could take over. Even Satan cannot just claim everything, he must have a condition just as God needs condition to intervene through you. In order for you to receive divine intervention, you must lay a substantial condition saying that I am absolutely united with you. Based on the foundation of faith, you must bring results with the foundation of substance.

That was the fault. When objects fail this is what happens, indemnity is equal, but when subjects fail, greater indemnity becomes necessary. Do you understand what I am saying?

When Abraham failed to split all the offerings as God asked him to do, it created the possibility for his life to be tested. Because of this failure due to faithlessness, Abraham had to give a greater sacrifice. He failed to live up to the expectation or will of God. When he failed that condition to prepare for the next stage of receiving the messiah, greater indemnity had to be paid.

However, through that chosen family, God gave one more condition. That was, if Abraham followed through with a greater condition of offering, he could still be accepted. There cannot be disunity between key figures, the people who were to represent God in the course of restoration of indemnity, otherwise the condition is given to Satan. Absolute unity is mandatory. From that point of view, Abraham failed. However, God offered him another chance to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ through passing a greater indemnity. For your understanding I'm jumping to the conclusion, but because Abraham failed, his children the Israelites, had to suffer a great deal for two thousand years. What we see as an insignificant mistake, of not cutting the dove, caused a great deal of suffering to the children of Abraham up to the point of receiving the Christ.

When you look at Christianity the same thing happens again. Because the disciples of Jesus failed to absolutely unite, they themselves had to historically pay a great deal of indemnity. Christian history, for two thousand years, was filled with one form of suffering after another. For the sins you committed you must substantially lay the condition to substantially restore what you have un-ideally manifested. That is the basis of restoration through indemnity. That is basic principle that you must realize in order to understand the importance of your self.

In the time of Abraham, the offering of creation might have been the case. However, in the time of Jesus, Jesus was the word and believing in the word itself was enough. Jesus' offering to God was his offering. Just as Abraham failed in his offering of creation, symbolically God prepared for the time of Jesus the messiah, by making Abraham offer his own child. By why, at the moment Abraham was to kill Isaac, did God withdraw His command? The reason or motive behind the withdrawal of His telling Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son, was because Abraham was absolutely committed, absolutely determined to do it. He had faith so God made the decision. Although he did not have faith while he was making the creation offering, this time he repented for his sin and had absolute faith. When he made that absolute condition, God withdrew. God stopped him from shedding blood.

When you have faith, you are relieved of shedding blood. Why did Jesus shed blood? Because he lost his object. He absolutely had no object. To the moment of his death nobody was united with Jesus, all of his disciples betrayed Jesus Christ. He had absolutely no substantial. objective position in this physical world. That gave Satan the condition to claim his life. In order for the messiah to claim his position, he must have an ideal object. Otherwise, he is not worthy to represent God. The situation came to a point where Jesus was powerless. He couldn't do anything. He had absolutely no condition to stop Satan from claiming his own physical body. That is why he died. Why do we say that through his crucifixion, mankind has attained spiritual salvation? Because Jesus united with God. He asked, "God, why has Thou forsaken me?" However, he forgave his enemy and those people who were killing Min. He truly understood the heart of God. Why do I say that? God wants to restore mankind. just as Jesus forgave his ultimate enemy, God wants to restore the enemy which has brought him the greatest suffering. Why? Because man is absolutely necessary. Man is the essential component in realizing the fulfillment of God's kingdom of heaven on earth.

Father is now mobilizing us to start a revival. Father has put Christians in the forefront. What Father is doing is a necessary and principled way of restoration.

If, for instance, Cain and Abel, both made an offering to God and God received Abel's offering, the important thing is for Cain to realize through his own accord, the significance behind God receiving Abel's offering. That is his responsibility. Of course Abel could have led him and helped to make a natural circumstance so that Cain could come to a more comfortable realization, making it easier for him to digest what seemed like a biased situation. However, the ultimate responsibility lay with Cain in realizing the significance of this condition that God set forth.

It is important when you look at the Unification Church as Abel and you look at Christianity as representing Cain, you see that although God has received our offering and has not received the offerings of Christianity, ultimately the responsibility lies in Cain's camp. They have to interpret this phenomena of God receiving Abel's offering. Every individual must complete their responsibility in order to be perfected, period. There is no exclusion or exception to that rule. It is Cain's responsibility to understand the significance of what is happening.

Father is saying that since he has now completely dismantled this great evil which existed in the world, the empire of Satan -- communism, now is the time that we must resurrect the founding spirit of America. We must go back to a God centered way of living. We must make Christianity understand and help them be responsible through their own volition. That is why Father has picked these Christian people. It's not because they are becoming subject over you, don't look at it in the scheme of subject and object. We are in the course of restoration and we must restore Christianity. That means we must motivate them, just as God motivated Adam. God gave Adam a certain commandment, however, He did not manipulate Adam to perfect himself. No, that portion of Adam's responsibility was crucial. There has to be a condition within the Christian community of fulfilling their own responsibility. It is our duty to motivate Christian people so that they can ultimately realize who Father is and support Father's work.

As fallen men, you must fulfill your responsibility of laying the condition of indemnity in order to be purified. By the same token, in order for Christianity to be restored as a body, they themselves have to lay the condition of indemnity. Just as you must realize your own condition of indemnity, so must the Christians. It is the same principle. That is why Father is saying you must encourage Christian people, then work together. Let them fix Christianity. We could do it, but principally speaking, this is the right way and that is why we are pushing the Christians. It has taken time to gain the power to influence them. We have befriended some significant and respectable Christian people over the years. It took time to build that kind of relationship. We must motivate them from now on so that they can restore their own body, the body of Christianity which they represent. We have to help them do it.

We are a by-product of Christianity too, however we must stand. Everything has to be seen in the relationship of Cain and Abel, that is very important. In order to choose correctly, Christianity has to be ready. Christianity has to become the ideal Cain which can unite with the ideal Abel once the offering is made. So we haven't yet arrived at the union between ideal Cain and the ideal Abel, but still we must support the Christian community to become ideal Cain. That is your responsibility.

Father has done everything. The time of Jesus Christ was the era of the Word, but now you have the Lineage. Lineage is the key and the condition for which you can substantially be restored. You receive spiritual salvation through believing, uniting and having faith to the word of Jesus, but in the completed testament era, it is the lineage that is important. If you keep the Lineage, you will be restored. That is the substantial condition to truly restore your spiritual self as well as physical self. It is only through lineage that you can realize absolute, substantial union with God.

Father has done everything. Father lost his Christian foundation. Many prophets received revelations in the early days, but because they interpreted them through their individual self, Father lost that foundation. That is why Father erected the Unification Church. I don't want to blame anyone, but you really haven't lived up to Father's expectation. You admit that, right? Father knew when he lost his objects, a greater sacrifice had to be paid. For losing Christianity, you have to pay greater sacrifice and Father even prepared for the time when you failed, that his children who are his direct objects, will, be sacrificed. Father's children absolutely determined to serve him. More and more you are becoming of age. You are realizing your own shortcomings and failures and you want to do more. Father prepared everything, that is why he had so many children.

To a certain degree it seems very inhuman and cruel to even scheme about preparing these things. However the law of restoration through indemnity is absolute. In order to nullify what you have substantially done, you must substantially undo it. Otherwise you cannot substantially realize the absolute kingdom of love. It seems cruel but that is how it is. That is reality. If you want to blame someone for the cruelty, don't blame God, blame it on your failures and the failures of man. God absolutely wants to substantiate the world of love, so don't blame it on God. That is the important point that most people miss. They blame everything on God.

Once I finish my video studio, I am going to ask all the finest lecturers of our church, from all different fields, to come and do a lecture series of Divine Principle. Based on all the topics, it will be concise and will reflect many different characters and personalities. Well package it in a very nice video and I am going to give it to you. Of course you'll pay. You don't believe in give and take? [Laughter.] I realize not everyone can be as eloquent as the next person. If you give enough time to someone he will eventually become eloquent, but we don't have that luxury of time on our hands. So once we have these things I know it is going to help you do your witnessing. The reason that I am trying to get into cultural media, is based on the same principle of letting Christianity become responsible for themselves; having someone who is from that realm and is connected to us and going back to that realm that he is from, and delivering the message. They can bring about restoration from within. That is the basic idea. I want restoration to come from within the targeted media. That might sound very war-like, but once we target certain media or a certain level of society, we must make it so that the restoration can settle within that medium. That is the basic idea. That is my notion behind getting involved in these cultural things. To a large extent the people who love these mediums have a greater devotion than most religious people. It is their religion. To many young kids, their devotion to rock and roll is a religion. So you have to get into it. That is the basic idea that we have.

Once we have a very respectable, presentable person representing Father in each realm, I know restoration can come from within that realm. That is the idea behind it. I am absolutely confident in the ability of God. Once I make my condition such that He can intervene through me, I know things will change because God is more powerful than Satan. That is the whole concept behind my work. That is why I want you to get more excited and get more involved. Become worthy so we can work together. Do you understand? I want your personality to speak Father's words. The more the better. There are so many different characters out there. Once we own a majority share of those cable companies that Father has acquired, which will happen soon, then we can make very good programs to convey to people and communicate to the outside world, the true intention of Father.

We can reveal the truth. The reason that we have been so misunderstood in the past is because of our failure to go out and properly expose who Father is. It is our failure of not completely, fully revealing his true identity. You can't blame Father for it because it is your responsibility. You are the object, you are the offering. The offering has to be absolutely united. Absolute unity is you fulfilling your responsibility. Have you done that? I am sorry to say it, but you haven't come close to Father's expectations. That is reality and you must accept it even though it is harsh. Who wants to be rejected or called a failure, but that is why I say you must have a true identity. If you are a man, you must become a true man. A woman must become a true woman. If you fall down once, stand up again and try again. If I get beaten by someone, I can't sleep until I can beat them up. I think, "I'm going to get you; if not today then tomorrow. If not tomorrow, the day after." Beating Satan is truly loving him because beating Satan will liberate him from his own selfishness. Amen! It doesn't matter how you word it. Do you' understand what I am trying to say?

It is our understanding that is important. Let's use some of our God-given emotion. Get angry sometimes, but bring constructive results. Use your anger wisely and constructively. You can't just love everything. How can you love what Satan is doing to you? How can you love what Americans are doing to Father? I don't love what Americans are doing to Father, I want to crush them. Crushing them would truly be setting their souls free. There are many ways to crush people. [Laughter.] Don't just lock yourself into one image. Don't confine yourself to a restricted imagination. Use the immense capacity which your imagination holds. Use everything to make Father happy and bring significant offerings, results, to Father.

It is important that we have faith. When we lose faith we lose the condition to restore our own selves. That is one important thing. And you must have clear understanding of the Principle. Without that you cannot restore the world because that is our responsibility. I feel that even in a practical sense, from a realistic standpoint, once we have these videos, we can make uniform understanding just as Satan is controlling the mentality of humanity through the cultural medium. Only a few people control the media. They absolutely believe in hedonistic ideals, all the Satanic self-indulging ideals. A few people are controlling the mentality of the masses. In the same but opposite manner, once we have these media to offer to Father, Father can control. You don't like that word control, but if you look at it through the eyes of love, you want to be controlled, don't you? When you truly love your woman, you want to be controlled by that woman, don't you? Because you don't understand the nature of love, you deny it, but inherently you long for control. So we can control things and Father can have absolute say so. Everyone can understand this.

In that sense, even looking from a practical perspective, it is ideal. We must have it. Please, let's join our hands together. You have to realize your responsibility is now to resurrect Christianity in America. Please understand. You have to help in every way to support Father's newly given mission.

That's my speech, thank you.

The Blessing Means Eternal Life

Hyo Jin Moon
August 4, 1991
Belvedere, New York

Good morning. The topic I would like to speak on this morning is "The Blessing Means Eternal Life." Yesterday Father left for Alaska to be with the Japanese leaders. As you know this is a very important time. Father is totally focused on the unification of Korea and it is very important that the Eve nation do her part completely supporting and servicing the needs of the Adam nation. Father knows more and better than anybody here, even Japanese members themselves, about the endeavors to support Father the Japanese church has taken on over the years, as well as be responsible for their historic situation. Father just wants to encourage them a little further until the day Korea can be unified.

I often hear people say the ultimate manifestation of duality is the conceptual existence of nothing and something. It is important to understand that idea is conceptually wrong. Based on the principle of reciprocity, the elements of duality must have the ability to act and react. To cause some substantial manifestation based on the law of reciprocity, they have to be able to enter into give and take. The better way to look at the notion of duality is to look at it in terms of tangibility and intangibility or eternal and temporal. Those are more correct ways to view the concept.

It is evident that even the concept of intangibility is relative. Why? Obviously I cannot see an atom, but under a microscope I can see it. You can't see sound waves. You can feel them, but you can't actually see them until you look through an oscilloscope. Through it you can view the sound wave. You can actually see the existence of the wave form of sound. You need proper apparatus or tools to look for the particular answers you are seeking. There has to be a specific tool for a specific task, some kind of apparatus that will bring about a clear, precise and truthful answer.

Everything in the creation exists in duality. When you look at the basis for the existence of duality you see it exists for a specific purpose. Duality exists for the sake of attaining a harmonious form Duality exists for the harmonious reason -- to give life. Through harmonious interaction, life can be born. The ultimate duality can be found in the, presence of man. The ultimate existence of tangibility and intangibility exists within man and man's spirituality. Man is a spiritual being. From the realm of intangibility, God wanted to create tangibility. Through the presence of man's tangible form, through his own effort, man must find within himself the intangibility of God. Just as God, having an intangible form, is searching for the tangible body, man in the opposite manner, having the tangible body must seek and find intangibility. He must find the likeness of God within himself. That is the ultimate goal of man. So the ultimate purpose of creation is truly manifested in the presence of God and the presence of man.

Psychologists say the reason men seek God is because of their insecurity. Well, it's true. Once man finds God, he is secure. Therefore, it is something that was meant to be. Man was meant to seek God because without God, man will not be secure. That is right. Without finding God, man cannot perfect himself. He cannot become a whole person. If you're not a whole being, of course you are insecure.

Any time you put yourself in a situation where you know you will fall short, you are insecure. That is obvious. Man is meant to be insecure without God. That is why man seeks God. That is the very reason that we need God in our lives; to be a perfected being.

Viewing all these ideas, no matter how you cut it, it is important that we have God in our lives. Without God, we cannot be whole. Evolutionists say that things evolved based on the needs of adapting to the environment. Man has evolved to the degree to where we can take control of and completely understand the environment. If the earth gave birth to man, the ultimate reason is that the earth might have a need. I think that in the very beginning earth needed somebody who could oversee and take care of it. Earth needed a caretaker; an ultimate caretaker who can understand, truly nurture and satisfy all the needs that she [the earth] had. Only man, out of all the creatures of the creation, has that ability to truly understand what nature is trying to tell us. Man was made to be the caretaker of this planet earth. Man was to be the representation of the origin of creation, which is the Creator.

The reason I chose this topic today, was because last Sunday Father talked about the importance of tribal messiahship; that you have to become a royal family. The only way you can receive what Father is trying to give you is to understand the true value in the Blessing. Jesus talked about blessing. Look at Matthew 19:4 and onward, he talks about the importance of marriage. He says that in the beginning God created man and woman. He created man and woman in such a way that they will leave their parents and become one. He says let no man put asunder what God has combined and brought together; let no man separate what God has put together. Only through marriage can you truly create life.

Jesus spoke about the importance of marriage, but the Bible goes on to mention that when the disciples said, "I guess it is ideal to be married". Jesus said "No, not for everybody. Not everybody can receive marriage, only those to whom it is given." So the anointment of marriage, the combining or manifestation of the ideal marriage should be within the presence and with the consent of God. God has to be present within that moment of the consummation of marriage. Through that action you create life and when you are creating life, God has to be present in order for that creation to be an ideal creation.

Marriage is a very important thing. Jesus goes on talking about eunuchs. Some are born eunuchs, some are made eunuchs by man, some are eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom. "Let those who are worthy receive the blessing of marriage." Jesus also talks about himself as a bridegroom many times. Look at Mark, chapter two, I think it is verse nineteen. Jesus tells the bridegroom story. He was asked about fasting. The Pharisees asked him, "Why don't your disciples fast when the disciples of John the Baptist and the Pharisees fast?" Jesus said to those who asked, "Can wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is in their presence? No, wedding guests cannot fast when the bridegroom is with them, but there will come a day when the bridegroom will be taken away and on that day they will fast."

The essence of Principle, the conclusion of what Father is teaching us, is that the only way you can truly resolve the sin of mankind is through the Blessing. You have to receive the blood of the messiah, just as symbolically in the last days Jesus, at the last supper, gave his body, the bread, and his blood (the wine), to his disciples. His whole ministry was centered upon establishing a foundation so that he could become the ultimate bridegroom, looking and waiting for the ultimate bride. His responsibility was to restore the tainted lineage of mankind through the Blessing.

I have talked several times about how we can substantially restore the fallen lineage of mankind. That is through being blessed to the direct descendants of True Parents. Ten generations from now, Fathers direct descendents will number in the millions. Everybody will have the opportunity to restart after the tenth generation. This whole planet earth will be recreated and given back to Heavenly Father. Within my wife's lineage, the blood of my father is flowing down to my children. That is a substantial condition set on her lineage and that kind of condition is necessary. You know the necessity of the condition of indemnity and that condition of indemnity has to be substantial. It cannot just be conceptual or faithful.

That is why it is necessary for you to be blessed. Through the Blessing you can truly restore your lineage. The responsibility of Unification Church members is to bring together the secular world and the religious world; the world of physical existence and the world of spirituality. Who can set forth a right way; the way in which these two extremely different worlds can harmonize and become one?

The basis of religion is the denial of physical things, but that is only to prepare people to be pure to a certain degree so when the time comes to receive the messiah, they can do so without the influences of the outside world. That is the only reason that all religions have promoted the ideas of depriving oneself of carnal and sensual desire. How can you connect to the messiah when he comes, if you are indulging and wallowing in the sensuality of this fallen world? You can't. That's why the idea of sacrifice has been promoted and endorsed. That is why all religions have walked the course of depriving oneself of the desire to seek physical joy. But, in order for us to build the kingdom of heaven, the place where you can eternally reciprocate with God and receive the eternal joy, you must find joy within this physical world.

Otherwise, how can we truly represent what is to come? We must make a world here on this earth, that we want to find when we die. How do you find It? Who will be the one who says, "This is okay and this is not okay. This is allowed, but this is not allowed"? Who is actually going to say that?

The concept of celibacy stems from the passage I referred to earlier about eunuchs. Some people made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Based on that statement, the idea of celibacy came about. Priests built monasteries and cloisters all over the world. If that is the ideal, how would we keep our ideal potential? How would our ideal world remain everlasting? There is a reason for all these things and that is what Father is saying. The most important thing that you have lost, that mankind has missed out on, is the Blessing. When you understand the importance of the Blessing, when you read through all these very perplexing, nuance-filled scriptures, you can understand why Jesus said this here and that there. The Bible isn't well organized, he didn't organize it himself, other people did.

When you understand the concept that Father is teaching us, you can clearly understand what Jesus was trying to imply. If you look at the general introduction of the Principle book itself, the most important thing that we must do is bring the religious world and the secular world together; the world which seeks eternal joy and the world which seeks physical joy; the scientific world and the spiritual world. That is our responsibility. If Father told you to go out of this room and go to bars, get loaded and go to the streets where prostitutes walk and dwell among them, are you strong enough, do you love Father enough to overcome the kind of temptation that you might or might not expect there? Could you keep your purity and integrity? Could you truly do that? Living in that environment for the sake of changing the people is a good reason for living there. But do you know Father enough to overcome the temptation of touching a woman, of looking at a beautiful woman, or being intoxicated where your ability to make a sensible decision becomes weaker and weaker? Under that circumstance can you hold on to Father? Are you strong enough to not abandon Father regardless of the circumstances? Can you do that? [Yes.]

Father told me many times, that the second generation must unite the first generation and the second generation. In the chapter that I last mentioned in Mark, chapter two, Jesus goes on to describe the idea of old and new. He asks, "Can you sew an unshrunken patch to an old garment?" If you do, it will cause greater damage, because when that new material is washed it will shrink and because the old fabric is weak, it will make a bigger tear. He goes on talking about putting new wine into an old wine sack. What is he implying? Obviously he is saying, a new wineskin has to be made and a new garment has to be sewn. The "unshrunken" patch means "unprepared." Although it is new, it is unprepared to be sewn. Jesus spoke this parable when the Pharisees accused him of dwelling with the sinners. He said, "I'm not here for the righteous, I'm here for the sinners." He dwelt with the sinners for what sake? So he could ultimately create a new world and new society. He was dwelling with the sinners so he could prepare them to become the ideal citizens of the new society within the new world. He clearly had a goal, but do you clearly have that kind of goal? If you don't have a clear goal when you go and wallow in the outside world, you will be pulled into it.

Sooner or later we have to clean out all this mess. We have to create an ideal society where we can find eternal spiritual enlightenment and, at the same time, physical joy. We will create that ideal society such that we can all celebrate and be intoxicated. Not celebrate your longings and desire for physical pleasure, but truly celebrate the beauty that God created.

Don't you want those kind of days to come? Don't you really want to celebrate with Father? [Yes.] The only way we can see that day is for us to quickly control our environment. I long for that day more than anybody else. I am very physical. Many times Jesus talked about the ideal world to his disciples, but many of the Pharisees, people who had knowledge and held power couldn't truly understand Jesus. They were set in their own ways and filled with themselves. They were arrogant and self-contented. They could naturally see what Jesus was trying to say, while the followers of Jesus were not able to speak the word and propagate the message in the proper way. They couldn't proclaim Jesus' presence in a way that others could understand. That is why ultimately Jesus had to die.

If I long for that day, it means that I have to make this world a place where there is no one who will take Father up to the Mount of Calvary and put him on the cross, ever again. We have to make God's intention clearly known. While we are here we have to teach why the presence of the messiah is necessary and how we can restore the fall. First of all we have to make the non-believers into believers. But even those who believe in God, we have to make them understand how we are going to eradicate the sin of man; how we are going to cleanse the lineage which has been tainted and purify them so they can be worthy of citizenship within the kingdom of heaven. How are we going to do that?

I long for that day more than anyone else. I want to be with Father, I want to celebrate life. I know I am absolutely united with him and that is the most important thing. Once you are absolutely united with the Father, you have dominion over the creation. I know what I will do. I will not take the things from the creation which would inevitably make me fall. I will not do that. I will not manipulate my power so that I would eventually deviate or separate myself from God. My power of dominion of creation is not a tool for my aberration. I know who I am and I know what I need to do. I know what I can do and what I cannot do. I will subjugate anything, "objegate" everything, and I will celebrate and glorify God and celebrate with my Father. That is what I want.

In order for us to do that, we have to change the environment. How are you going to do that? People say they don't want to believe in God. Why? Because if you believe in God, what the hell are you going to do? You can't do this and you can't do that. They wonder what they can do. That is literally the reason that many people chose secularism. That is the sole basis of their reason. If you believe in religion you are restricted and forbidden in everything. Americans tried their best to put an end to their love affair with alcohol in the early stages of the twentieth century. It failed. Prohibition lasted for twelve years or something like that. Did it succeed? You can't force somebody to stop seeking joy and happiness. There has to be balance and who will reveal this? The messiah.

Father is telling you this is okay or it is not. If you understand the basic principle of creation; the truth about your presence here and how we can be united through lineage, which is eternal life, then you truly can have possession or dominion over the creation. That is what he is saying.

Sometimes I wish for a neutralizing agent. I am filled with stress and I want to forget about everything. I want to get drunk. Of course, if I get drunk every day it will affect my work. Certainly drinking has no place in my life. If I am drunk everyday I can't fulfill. my responsibility. Being drunk has no place in the kingdom of heaven. The physical body sometimes needs to be stirred up and put into a neutral state so it can start all over again, because this world is a temporal world and this body is a temporal thing. Look at the earth around you. Things blossom then they wither and die. After dying, they become fertilizer which will make future growth stronger. If you can control everything around you to that degree, everything has a place in the kingdom of heaven on earth. How would you like that? Don't you want that? I do.

But, if you get drunk, you get weak. Because there are so many temptations around you and beautiful women around you, touching and stimulating you physically, you will be tempted. Everything has a certain limitation and that limitation is, "Is it going to affect me and keep me from fulfilling my responsibility? Am I going to be a responsible person, not just to myself, but to others as well?" That is the criterion which we will use to draw the boundary lines. Do you understand? It is an important criteria. Once we can manage the rest there is no reason why it shouldn't be allowed.

So for that sake, we have to change the environment. I want that day where I can truly celebrate with Father, out in the open. I want Father too, to be able to celebrate in front of you, in front of the rest of the world. When we hold a celebration day we will surely celebrate spiritually as well as physically. Of course being with Father we feel joy, but let's go, let the body feel happy too. Do you understand what I am saying? Let's be completely enraptured in it, let's be completely drenched in the day of celebration -- spiritually as well as physically. What is wrong with that? I want to make that day come as soon as I can. The only way I can do that is to change this environment. We need to make people understand the true intention of God and see that the secular regime that exists now comes to accept God. That is our responsibility.

The reason that I chose the topic, The Blessing is Eternal Life, is that only through the Blessing can you truly be restored. Your new wine sack is the body of blessing. A single individual alone cannot be perfect. Man and woman must come together and unite. Based on this communion you can truly inherit God's love. In the same manner, if you are to embody True Parents you must come together under the Blessing. Through the Blessing you will create life which will ultimately become a sowing ground for the ideal lineage to come. Your children are the sowing ground for our ideal world because only through the Blessing come blessed children and only through blessed children can you unite with Father's true lineage substantially. That condition is necessary to liberate yourself.

You know the law of indemnity. To liberate yourself from the fallen lineage, you need that condition. That condition has to be substantial and that is why the Blessing is so important. So if you break the Blessing you lose the opportunity to substantially indemnify the fallen lineage that you represent. The Holy Wine ceremony is only a symbolic engrafting process, it's not a substantial thing. Father always says the substantial grafting process has to be celebrated later on. Understand? The Blessing is so important in every aspect of our belief.

Our belief is the representation of God's belief and it should be accepted by the rest of humanity. It is our responsibility to make that happen. Father did his part in revealing the truth, telling us how we can restore ourselves. Because man, through responsibility, attains his or her perfection, he must, through the knowledge of truth he has acquired from True Parents, apply that knowledge within his life to restore himself. Father cannot do that for you. Without responsibility man cannot attain his perfection because everyone, in order to receive God's love must prove themselves worthy to God. They must create themselves to be God-like. Therefore they must fulfil their responsibility. Father can't do it. He can push you, he can tell you what you need to do, but he can't do it for you. If that was unfair, then if one person made a substantial condition of unity with God, based on that, God should have restored all of humanity. But, that is not the case. He sends the messiah who reflects the will of God to teach fallen man so that they will become responsible and do the will of God. That is the role of messiah; to make men and women responsible so that they can become like the messiah. Jesus said, "You can't go to the kingdom of heaven without going through me." What does that mean? He said it many times. He said, "Be perfect as you Father in heaven is perfect." What does that mean? If everybody, all the sinners, are the children of God, does that mean God is a sinner? Is God Himself the almighty sinner? Do you understand what I am trying to say?

If we are to become the children of God, we are to become like the messiah. You cannot enter the kingdom of heaven without going through him. He is the way, the truth, the life. Jesus said all those things. He is everything. Like I mentioned earlier, not every man can receive the marriage. The marriage will be given to those who are ready to receive. The anointment of God which is consummated in love in the presence of God is very important. That is why the presence of True Parents is important. Because you represent a fallen lineage, being Blessed by True Parents is very important. Restoration must happen on a substantial level. If symbolic restoration was good enough, this world would be an ideal world Based onus, who understand what Father is teaching we go out and change the world. That is why I encourage you to get more involved.

This coming October, PBS is going to broadcast a negative report about us. I know it is going to stir up controversy. The media has been solely responsible for creating all the bigotry and hatred toward us. Can't you understand the power of media? That is why we have to subjugate it. Why do you let Satan swing his almighty sword and smite all of us down? Why just sit there and let it be? Do you think that is the way it should be? No! We should go and arm our selves and fight back; defend the truth for the sake of revealing it and keeping the truth alive. That is why we should fight back. Not because we hate these guys, but for the sake of revealing the truth. We should go and fight with the same tool that Satan used to make our lives so miserable and Father's life so miserable. That is why I want you to become great speakers. Soon we will be able to broadcast our own television programs.

At Manhattan Center I am creating a full video production facility. I am going to make a lot of things because I know in the future video will take the place of manuals. Videos will be a visual manual. That is the thing of the future. You don't need to read. When you read there is so much guesswork. No matter how you try to use correct language and phrasing to describe certain things, it cannot beat looking and seeing. That is scientific method -- observation. If you want to know how to cook kimchee well, I'll make a video! Step by step, from the beginning to the end, it will show how to make a proper kimchee or do a proper Sunday service, or hold a proper eight day ceremony. A video can show proper form in a step by step fashion. You can't beat that. The day to day applications of this kind of instruction are endless.

We have to let people see what we are all about, not just let our enemy describe his notions about us to people who do not know and who are curious. What kind of nonsense is that? Are people who are curious gaining true knowledge about us from our enemy? No way! We have to tell it ourselves.

We have to shrink the patch which will be sewn onto the new garment. Do you understand? That means we have to prepare it so that everything can fit into this ideal society. Preparation is why we need all these things. We have to prepare these secular people who only know about stimulating something between their legs.

Within the truth, there is nothing wrong with that. If you truly love your wife, if you truly love your husband, what you do between you is acceptable. There are many saints and sages and many people of God, who died, keeping their celibacy to their graves. You know the importance of the physical world, so how do they know about the experience of marriage? You know that once they go to spirit world they can't marry without Father. They don't know marriage. The only way you can know is through the bonding process of this physical world. But they don't know anything. That's why even spirit world needs to be educated. In my eyes, if you truly love your wife and if you truly love your husband, whatever you do based on love, is okay. Do you understand? You need to have the physical, substantial experience. They don't know about the ideal possibility. They see all these un-ideal things around them, un-ideal marriages, un-ideal couples dwelling in un-ideal relationships and think this is reality. So how will they learn about the ideal marriage relationship? How will they know about an ideal conjugal relationship? There are some things you can't do. Even under this worldly law, bigamy is a crime. But what you do between a truly loving wife and husband is acceptable to God. You can ask Father.

We're going to change this lost world. We need the right tool. We're expanding very quickly and I need a lot of people, but I need people who have clear values, a solid faith and understanding of Principle. Your efforts will boil down to our final product and I don't want it to be contaminated. I'm not boasting, but the reason that we, are moving so quickly at the Manhattan Center, is because of unity. Everybody really pitches in. Most of our guys don't receive a salary, sometimes for months, they don't get anything. They have a lot of kids, but they give complete dedication. If I say we go twenty four hours, they go twenty four hours.

Pretty soon you will hear two more albums. My seventh album is almost finished and the other is a collection of Father's favorite songs that my sister, In Jin and I sing. I'm about half way through with my eighth album, so I am close to 100 songs now. And a lot of video products are going to come through our place at the Manhattan Center. We'll make it happen, but I want you to be there. Unless you participate, you can't truly claim the Blessing. Do you understand? You've got to be part of it.

Sometimes you say to yourself, "I'm not worthy." You were worthy enough to be chosen as a blessing candidate and you were blessed. So though you may feel you are not worthy, make your blessing worthy. From formation, everything goes through the growth stage into perfection. If you have received the blessing, but yet you feel unworthy, at least dearly understand what you can become and make effort to grow so you can ultimately become worthy and be the true ancestor of your lineage. What's wrong with that? Get more involved. If you feel you lack certain qualities, and you feel you want to get involved in this and that then start. It's not too late. I'm just now getting into this visual area. I don't know anything, but I know I'm going to make myself worthy to take claim of this medium. It's up to you. We can do anything. It is your commitment that is in question here. Don't blame Father. Make yourself worthy to truly receive blessing. I really wish that I can work with the faces I am familiar with rather than unfamiliar, "competent" people. I want you, the first generation, to go and connect with the rest of the world. That is the ideal way.

Your responsibility cannot be passed on, you must complete it This is the completed testament era, so how can you pass down the responsibility? When Father says the first and second generations, must enter into the land of Canaan, what do you think that means? You both must become responsible, that is what it means. You're not saying, "I can pass down my responsibility to my children." How can you say that as a parent? "I'm going to make my children work more." That would be unbelievable, a totally selfish concept. That kind of stupidity has to be put aside. We've entertained that idea for too long. So we have to do away with it and see the value of the Blessing. Absolutely unite with Father. Change the environment so the day will come when we can truly celebrate with Father and we can let our spirit and body be intoxicated by God and His presence. What's wrong with that? Don't you want that day? I do. So let's go. But we have to walk there. No one is going to fly us there. No one is going to carry us there. We have to go with our own two feet. So let's march onward for the day we can celebrate the Blessing that we have received from Father. Thank you very much.

We Must Go Into The World To Preach

Hyo Jin Moon
July 14, 1991
Belvedere. New York

Good morning. Today my topic will be, "We Must Go Into the World to Preach." Ever since his release from Danbury prison, Father has stressed the importance of Tribal Messiahship. At the same time, the Christian community believes, and in a way, the Christian perception of ministry, can be best summed up in a general statement found at the end of the book of Matthew which says we must go out into the world and preach. This is our obligation. Christians feel the same obligation to go out to the world and spread the word of Jesus Christ. We are going out into the world and they are going out into the world. Everybody is going out into the world and preaching their message.

I'm sure most of you have gone through several forty day workshops, I know all of you went through a 120 day workshop. In our study of the Principle we sometimes address the failings of Jesus Christ, not out of any arrogance or pride in avoiding such things ourselves. Rather to understand clearly the ultimate reason he had to be sacrificed. There were certain things that he should have avoided. Father has stressed this many times. Jesus himself spoke of many things, especially the work of doing miracles. He said in Matthew, chapter six, "Men doing alms, do it secretly. When doing a deed of mercy, do it secretly." When he addressed the Scribes and Pharisees who asked, "Hey, where are the signs that say you are the messiah?", he told them, "There will be no sign for this abominable generation." But in many cases you know miracle stories. He performed miracles although he was saying there were no signs. Certainly a miracle is a sign of the power the messiah possesses, but he did it secretly and he told the person he performed the miracle for to keep his mouth shut.

What I'm trying to get to is this; in order to become a True Parent we must restore the Garden of Eden. Through the Word man must be made perfect. Man must realize the importance of the Word to mankind. I have said many times over and over, why man was put in a vulnerable position where he was left with uncertainty. Obviously, in this situation, if he does not comply with the commandment which God gave him, he has the potential to die spiritually and lose his connection with God. Being separated from God, he loses the possibility of acquiring an eternal union with Heavenly Father, receiving His eternal love and ultimately manifesting it himself. All that possibility will be lost.

Why was man left in that position? Because it is important that man, through receiving the Word and using reason, unite with Heavenly Father. In other words we have to realize the importance of the Word by our own accord, by ourselves. We are to be the object to God the creator. Without us having and manifesting that position, we cannot become an object to God. We ourselves must create the rhyme, the reason and the rationality necessary to ultimately unite and merge with God. That is the important thing.

That is why it sometimes feels and seems like we were just left in a whirl, thrown into some kind of obscurity. Certainly there was an uncertain moment and based on that, man fell. But the reason it is like that, is because we must become God-like and so first become an object to God the Creator. That is the reason we have the responsibility to erect certain things within our minds and hearts to ultimately unite with True Parents and Heavenly Father.

When Jesus was performing these miracles in secret, did those people whom he told not to tell others keep that promise? No, they told others. So Jesus had to perform the things he could not perform to the skeptics, to the non-believers. Yes, he performed miracles for the believers, but the non-believers, how do you account for them? How do you restore them? Restoring them should be through the Word, not through power. Restoration means restoring it, not restoring God's status or divinity. Of course, when man's physical flesh is restored, divinity will be resurrected through the presence of man. However, man, especially the non-believers were to be restored through the Word.

Because of his performance of miracles, Jesus was put in the position where he had to prove himself, which he couldn't do. He had to give the kind of proof that he couldn't show to the non-believers. Of course when he was crucified, everybody realized the kind of mistake they had made, but then it was too late; he was dead.

I know Father has that power. Living in this world, growing up in this terrible world, I became a cynic. I am a very cynical and skeptical person, but I cannot lie to my father and he knows that. No matter what I do, he knows. He went out of his way to avoid that kind of power. The Korean elders, those who followed him from the beginning, know that Father did not go out of his way to do miracles. Spiritual phenomena happened left and right, everywhere. Many of you followed Father without really perceiving the true and pure inherent meaning of the Principle. Why? Because of that impressive phenomena.

All that aside, I want to go back to addressing my topic today. We must go out to the world and preach. You must know who you are. I was just reading this book that someone gave me. It's a little information book. According to this book, women are more moral, more ethical and more responsible than men. I thought about it, wondering, is that true? To a certain degree, it seems like it. Men like to take chances. We have the kind of pioneering spirit where we like to take challenges. We're not bound by certain pressure or thoughts about things going wrong. We like to take risks at times. But, in a way, lying in a bad sense is a form of risk taking. So, as a man, if you like to take chances, living in this world filled with lies, the atmosphere is filled with liars and thieves and heathen, all that, you can certainly be misled and be influenced by the surroundings. Without knowing the truth you just follow your instinct.

The reason that I am telling you this is that, there is a proper form that as a man or as a woman you must follow. Although we have duality within, you must manifest a quality, a man as a man and a woman as a woman. Why does this duality exist? For example, even receiving pain or your brain's releasing endorphin based on a type of pain you are experiencing, happens because you have these kind of receptors that receive a chemical which the brain releases. In other words, the receptor has the ability to read information. I have certain information about a woman. Why? Because when I see a true woman, I must have certain information, I must have a certain ability within myself to receive that woman. The same thing goes for a woman. Based on this same principle, you as a woman must have certain information of what an ideal man is. Otherwise, how are you going to come together? The perfection of humanity can only come through the union of man and woman, but they have to truly manifest their true qualities. Man should be absolute in a sense that he will persevere. The values that he holds dear cannot be swayed or compromised in any way.

Sometimes women are more adaptable. Women in general are more compassionate. In this world filled with crap, how can you be compassionate? In a world filled with evil, can you be compassionate toward the deeds of evil? No way. We cannot be compassionate toward the deeds of evil. Evil ideas are destroying mankind and bringing decadence, can you be compassionate to that? Can you embrace that? No way. Women like to organize things better. In a way, it's alright. When a woman becomes a judge she is more strict than a man. She really follows law and order. When I come home I like to throw things on the floor. My wife can't bear to see that. I think it hurts her, it even has some kind of physical effect on her! When I just throw my clothes on the floor she has to pick them up otherwise she can't sleep!

Once we grasp real value, a true man should never, ever compromise it. We'll break through whatever the barrier or challenge that lies ahead even if it is a conflicting one, we'll plough through. We won't avoid it. If it means we have to clash sometimes, we will do it for the sake of setting something straight.

I know Father speaks harshly sometimes. He speaks harshly to me sometimes, but I know that he is doing it out of love. This world is full of harshness and struggle. He is telling me, "Hey son, you have to be ready for the junk that lies out there. I know you love me and we are bonded by love and you will never break it. I know you will come to a decision that you will love me no matter what. When I'm being harsh to you and acting in an unpleasant manner, I know you will take it in good stride. I know you will understand what I'm trying to prepare you for. You have to go out to this world and restore it. Preparing you for that, I cannot just idly cradle you with a pleasant feeling." Many of you have your own messed up, selfish, subjective images of how Father, your subject, should be. If this was an ideal world, do you think Father would want you to suffer? Of course not. But we are living in a world which needs to be restored.

Everywhere I go in dealing with reality in the outside world, there is conflict and one complication after another. Do you know what it is like trying to deal in a world where everybody hates your guts for being who you are? You have to rise above that and see where it is truly coming from. You can see that only when you've put yourself in a true object's position. Otherwise you can't understand. Many times I would come home after being slapped around by my teachers because they hated me since I was Father's son. Many days you would see my face puffed up like this. It happened almost every week. I don't care what happened in the past. You should never let what happened in the past deter you from fulfilling your own responsibility. I don't know where you get this arrogance and this completely bad attitude. I hear many people say, "You have to understand me. You have to treat me nicely, you can't treat me this way because I had a terrible childhood." I'm sick of seeing this. I think this church is filled with spiritual rejects. All the rejects who were deprived of certain love came here. That's why Father is suffering more. Don't tell me how much you suffered. How would you like it if everybody in the world hit you? Did you have that kind of childhood? You have to rise above it. I rise above all the junk I experienced. I want to be responsible for all the crap that I did. I'll make it right. I know my life will not be easy because of certain things, but I have to bear it. Whether I like it or not I have no choice because I have to be responsible for what I did. I'll make it right.

As a man you have to have a clear understanding of who you are. If you are to be a subject, I'm talking about the individual level here, you must set yourself straight as a man whom your wife can love and honor and protect at the same time, mentally. You go out and mow the lawn, you flatten the mountains, you bridge the rivers. Meanwhile, because your woman respects your absolute conviction, she will hold your family intact. Our church members have to become more active in terms of fulfilling their responsibility as a man and woman. Know who you are. In the church as a whole we have to truly know who we are. We represent True Parents and Heavenly Father. When Father talks about going down to the servant of servants position and rising up all the way to becoming a Tribal Messiah, we have to understand what kind of attitude we must have as a church. You are the spiritual subject. You must not lose your spiritual subjectivity even when you are going down to the servant of servants position.

Let me put it this way. Let's say you are a newlywed. Certainly as a newlywed you have to sort out many things. You really do not understand one another. There are so many things that need to be worked out, so many edges that need to be rounded off. However, at the moment of conception what kind of attitude must you have? Obviously I think about the ideal child. You certainly don't want to create Satan's child. You think about the idealness of a child. However, after the child is conceived and after the gestation period when it comes out into this world, does this baby automatically become an ideal form that you imagined in your mind? No. What about building a relationship as husband and wife? Do you think that somehow, automatically, as the years go by, all the edges will be rounded off, without you really trying to unite? No. This fallen world is a falsely subjective world, so even if you are a man and you have a bitchy woman who is very subjective, to make her your true, loving, objective wife, you've got to sacrifice a lot. You've got to pamper her, kowtow to her sometimes, sometimes literally becoming her object and her servant. When Father is putting himself in a servant of servants position, do you think he is saying to himself, "I am now object to Satan so I'll do whatever he says"? No way. He has clearly in his mind, "The relationship that I am conceiving at this moment will become an ideal relationship. It will go through the servant of servants' position, then will become concubine's son's position, adopted son's position, true son's position, and ultimately I will become a true parent." Do you understand my analogy? That is the kind of attitude you should have when dealing with outside people. You must think "I am spiritual subject and you are satan, but I am going to love you, pamper you and win your heart because I'm going to make you a child of God." Do you think Father would have come this far if he thought differently?

Does this make sense to you? If we're united in this understanding, obviously we have to go out and cleanse this world. Let me make another analogy. I said this to blessed children and I'm going to say it to you. I don't want to say it to you, but for the sake of me being here, I'll say it. It is a simple analogy. In order to sustain your life and to have a healthy, physical body, you need healthy nutrients and a proper diet. There are certain things that you can consume and other things which you can't consume. Even if you have the free will or the prerogative to pick up a poisonous mushroom and stick it in your mouth, once it is ingested you will die or get sick. Food is like that. In order to sustain a healthy life, there is a proper form of nutrition. Regardless of who you are, no matter what kind of traits you have or even if you are a genius, that principle is universal to all humanity. That is universal law. In order to sustain physical life you must maintain a proper diet. Likewise, in order for you to have a healthy spiritual life you must ingest healthy ideas. There are some ideas which you should not entertain. If you do they will surely bring your spiritual existence to a demise.

Nevertheless, when you look at this world today, you see it is filled with pollution. There are many environmental terrorists out there who are going around and saying we have to be more environmentally conscious and active in terms of cleaning up the mess we've created. Why is it so urgent now? That process has been going on for centuries. Why be concerned about it now? Because it is affecting our food source and air. It is affecting our sustenance. It's affecting our livelihood and making us ill. We're losing our healthy body. That is why we are trying to do a rush job in cleaning it up. Even if we are consuming healthy nutrients, those nutrients have been grown in a polluted, contaminated environment. Therefore, even in the good stuff there are toxins. So even the good food, protein, vitamins or all these things that are supposed to be good for you, still have toxins in them because they have been affected by the dirty environment. In the same manner, many good ideas are poisoned by this screwed up environment. We know there has to be order, with one center to create harmony and unity, but this kind of principle becomes so polluted within this environment that even the good ideas become polluted. There are many examples where subjects have truly pillaged and really raped their objects. Homosexuals these days say, "I am homosexual, but I have a monogamous relationship. Treat me right, I am a law abiding citizen. I do my charity. Respect me." Monogamy is good, but not homosexual monogamy. Do you know what I am trying to get to? It's a simple analogy, but that is how it is. That's how I see it. I might be seeing the world too simply, but that's how I see it.

In order for us to truly unite as one body, we need a clear understanding as to who we are and a dear understanding as a whole when we are dealing with the outside world. We have to clearly know our responsibility and that responsibility is to clean up the wrong ideas of the world, the toxic, sick ideas that are lingering out there. Why? Our consciousness is erected on purpose and the emotion supporting the purpose. Because there are so many ideas which promote different purposes, all our direction is lost and chaos results. We dearly have to make the people of the world see the truth that Father is teaching. How do you do that? How the hell do you make people see what is to happen? How do you take the ideal and manifest it into reality? How do you take the future and manifest it in the present? Many people have tried it with many writings. They dreamt about it and they wrote about it. They phrased the ideal world in their own words. However, do you think it is enough for the people of today to be persuaded by words alone? No. What medium do you know of which can bring the future into the present and make people see and hear? [Film] You're damn right.

Pat Robertson has a television show and he is on it every day. On June 27th if I remember correctly, he talked about Father. He blasted Father and all the things he said were just a bunch of bullshit. Everything was false and wrong information. He did not get his facts straight. But before he was talking about Father, he was defending one of his writings. He writes a lot of books and articles. He said in respect to a certain article that he had written, "Yes, I admit I have written it ho-hum." That is what he said. And he goes on a few minutes later, so fervently saying many things about Father. "How can somebody who was kicked out of a church receive revelation?" and "How can you say this little yellow Oriental man is God?" He was saying these kinds of things. Father received revelations first and then he went out to minister. Yes, Father was kicked out of many churches because all those people who had received revelation to receive Father ended up rejecting him. But Father received revelation and he toiled a lot because he knew the magnitude of his responsibility. Once he set his goal, he went forward and he tried to connect with many spiritual leaders and the leaders of certain Christian sects who were to lay the foundation of John the Baptist, that is, with those who were in the object position. This was to ultimately restore Korea and prepare Korea for restoring the world.

These kind of people still stand there and tell so many lies. They speak falsely in front of millions of people. This false information is given without us having any control, it is going right into their houses. How do you expect to combat this reality? Jesus said to his disciples, "You are like a sheep being sent out amidst the wolves. Therefore you must be wise as serpents and pure as a dove."' Do you think a person like Pat Robertson, who is standing on television saying, "We must restore Hollywood, we have to take over the entertainment capitol of America" is stupid? He knows what's happening even with his second generation.

I'm not trying to promote my endeavors, but we have to wake up to the time. God prepares a time, but we have to be wise enough to realize what is needed and be effective in doing His work. Ultimately, time will move on to the point where we restore this sinful world. How are you going to portray the ideal and educate people about it? Even if I had the power to have complete dominion over all cultural media, it would still take decades to educate humanity by receiving True Parents" words. I know that, but what are you doing?

I will say this to you and I will live up to my word. I will make the biggest nightclub in the world and I will make the best liquor factory in the world. You just wait and see. Of course Father said that he will make a "Moon World" bigger than Disney World. We have to be spiritually intoxicated, but even when dealing with physical intoxication, if you have the absolute control over yourself, if it won't deter your work and you don't become object to it, you have true dominion over the creation. You can achieve that when you know who you are. When you are a true subject to the creation, you have that right. Because they have not attained true subjectivity, many people become object to satanic ideas as well as satanic materials. They become object to physical things. Until you fulfill the responsibility Father gave you of Tribal Messiah, you do not have the right to have dominion over the creation. That can only come when you fulfil your responsibility. Many of you are still too spiritually weak to deal with reality when you are physically intoxicated because this reality is filled with temptation. Your body is weak. If a beautiful woman comes to you when you are drunk, your legs will go weak, your heart will start palpitating and your mind will just go like that. Many of you are still in that state. So how could Father stand here and say, "Go ahead and drink." Of course there are certain things you should never put in your mouth. There are limits.

You truly have to respect the body and what you have received. Just as you take care of your spirit, you have to take care of your body. We have so much to do. Sometimes I can be pretty harsh on my crew and sometimes I do stupid things, but still we're united. I'm not boasting, but the reason that we can do so much is because we truly try to unite. I know they love me. It's not just respect, I know they love me. That is why we try to unite. I try my best to do my work and make this place grow as much as I can, as quickly as I can. I am stretching every day and they know that. I take absolutely nothing from them. That is why they understand me. That is why they overcome whatever obstacles lie ahead. We're united based on love. That is how I see it and that is what I want to credit our certain progress to. I want to dedicate it to the unity based on love. What I say is nothing much. I try to live my words as best as I can. I try my best to cope with reality and ultimately overcome it. That is the kind of attitude we must have in order for us to go out to the world and preach and represent Father.

From you, must come all sorts of people who can make a difference in this world. I'm the product of the Little Angels school, I'm the product of the performing arts school. Why do you think Father built performing arts schools? Why do you think Father is now building all these cultural media such as the television studio, the news media, the literary and academic facilities and musical facilities? It is because we truly have to take control over and have dominion over our environment. That is why Father has been preparing and I am a product of it, just as many of your children are.

Do I always need to spell it out to you? We need to be a little more professional. We have to be proficient. We need to be more efficient. Even in the correspondence you do in your own regional churches, raise and enhance your standard. Even in terms of graphics and external appearance, have full control over the physical things. Have the ability to do the things that you wish to do. Don't let Satan dictate to you, you should dictate to Satan what is good, proper and beautiful. We will show people we truly have possession over what is beautiful, good, and what is right. We have to show them. If they can't believe our words then they can look at our deeds. Tell them, "Learn from my deeds, believe in my deeds." You have to show this world that we possess the possibility of creating the ideal world.

If you want certain technical advice, come to us. We're still learning but we'll be happy to oblige you with certain information. Based on our experience, we'll even tell you what kind of equipment is good. We do everything. Technology is so great, it has endless possibilities. So let's use it. We've got to fight Satan at his own game, using the same weapons. We have to try to improve our weapon at the same time. So we need a host of people to do the creative and innovative things. At the same time we will be doing it and changing the world. That's the kind of people that we need. You have to wake up and get off your butt. Be more creative and innovative. Create something knowing who you are, that you are spiritual subject to the outside world. You truly have to understand who you are in relation to True Parents. Only God has the power to anoint the messiah. Just because I may possess certain qualities better than Father, it does not give me the right to become a True Parent. Only God has the power to anoint the messiah and the power comes from the messiah to you the power to become a true man, a Tribal Messiah.

You have to understand how things flow. That is the reality. Your responsibility is a very serious one. We have to change this world, I know we can change this world. I can taste it.

I know I can make better movies. I just saw Terminator 2 and that was pretty impressive. Did you see it? Go see it. Go see a movie today, go see Terminator. I've seen many nuclear holocaust movies. Every time I saw them they made me laugh because they were so fake and unreal. Even a serious topic like that would become comic because of the unrealistic images that I saw. But in Terminator it was pretty realistic and pretty graphic. In one scene when the woman sees the vision of nuclear war, everybody in the theater, there was hundreds of people there, was dead silent. It looked pretty real. Out of all of the movies I've seen depicting nuclear holocaust, this one looked real. One beer drinking, Harley Davidson motorcycle guy who was wearing a black leather jacket, a big fat and hairy monstrous person, who smelled like anything, was sitting in front of me. He was shaking his head and making comments like, "Oh man!" He was really shocked. I'm sure he is the type of person that when he sees a rotten movie like Godzilla Vs. whoever, he would just walk out of the movie laughing. But he was really inspired by the realism of it all.

I know we can make all the ideal things that Father talked about into real images and make people believe just as Terminator made me believe in the possibility of nuclear disaster. That's what we have to raise ourselves to because that is the only tool that we have. We need more than words, I guarantee you that. We have to stimulate the physical senses more than just reading and imagining. It has to be a little more graphic than that. People need more proof. You can't really show proof of the future, but the next best thing is that we see it at the movies. We'll create movies they can see at home; homemade dramas that can change and move people, even make them cry and think We have to make people think. In order to do that today we need to have dominion over all this technology. At the same time we need to have a clear understanding of who we are and know dearly what Father means when he talks about certain things with respect to the Principle he teaches us. We have to have a clear understanding and that understanding has to be united, it cannot be separate. Until now, that understanding was left up to the individual to interpret, but no more. We have to make it into a universal thing, just as eating food, regardless of who you are, is universal. There are certain nutrients you need to consume. The ideals of God are just as necessary. There are certain specific things that regardless of who you are, you need to consume in order to have a healthy spiritual body with no exception whatsoever. You have special qualities. It is your prerogative to invest your idiosyncrasies for the sake of the ideal world. You have that right and freedom. Freedom has bounds, it exists within the Principle. There is no such thing as unbounded Principle or unbounded freedom. You have to accept that because there is no exclusion to this rule.

I know this and I promise you we'll make this world a better place. I'm going to make your life happy too. We'll make more music, more beautiful, ideal images. We'll make this environment ideally enriched, I guarantee you. We have a whole flock of second generation children that are growing up with so much to offer to you and to the world. We just have to pursue our goals and be a little more persistent in taking individual responsibility. Don't depend on others to tell you what you need to do. Just go do it. Nobody has to tell me that I have to come and speak to you. When I have certain things to say I come and speak, whether you like it or not! When I'm done with certain specific things I will totally dedicate my life in ministry, but I want to have control. I want to let the grime from my own hand touch all the things I am to be responsible for. Nobody is going to do that for me. I have a lot to say and I will be a better speaker, I certainly will not recede. I will move on and make better of myself. That's where I am at, what about you?

Life is difficult, I know that, but don't dwell on that. Take it as a challenge. Take it as a toughening process, take it as a training session, that is how I see it. Sometimes in martial arts you need to be smacked a little bit to be tougher, so you can face a tough opponent. When Father is strong and sometimes uses abusive language, take it in good stride. Take it as love. Out there people are certainly more abusive and their abuses are not coming from good intentions, but from hate. When you go outside into reality, you see it is more harsh so you have to be more wise like the serpent and have the ability to assess it properly. Please keep that in mind and I know this church will grow. Nobody will have to tell us what to do, we will do it ourselves. That is what we need. Right? [Yes!]

I know we can change this world. So let's do it On that note, let's pray.

Sunday Service (Realize the Ideals of Love)

Hyo Jin Moon
June 23, 1991
Belvedere, New York

Good morning everybody. Today, what I would like to share with you is my view of the nature of an Abel person, what defines Abel. Father has invested, as you know, not just in terms of spiritual investment, but physically and substantially he invested all of his life in America. You all know, because you have been Unification Church members for quite a long time, and many of you have been here from the beginning of Father's ministry here in America. Father said in many of his speeches that the most important thing is realizing or understanding the heart of God. We understand certain things, we understand the particular abilities that God has given us. Through those idiosyncrasies we have a certain ability to give input into things that we are commissioned to do. In that sense, we have certain abilities which are a determining factor in many different cases.

But, what is Abel? Many times Father says knowledge alone, or power alone, or authority alone, all these things in themselves cannot truly represent God's intention or God's will. And certainly those things are not enough to substantiate the course of restoration and the dispensation of God.

What is important? What is the true ability of man? Where does that lie? Father has invested specifically in building the seminary at Barrytown. The purpose of Father's having that seminary is to what? Just to make people theologians, is that it? Once we have these people who have degrees, who have certain abilities in terms of interpreting, in terms of knowledge and understanding about theological theories or whatever, does it end there? What is the meaning behind Father investing so much of his time acquiring and building that kind of facility and cycling many of you through that particular institution? What is he trying to obtain? What is the meaning of Father's investment?

Many of you have graduated from seminary. And many of you are proud that you have greater understanding now. But what are you going to do with that understanding? What is your purpose behind acquiring this greater understanding? The bottom line is that, through this we must go out and preach the word. The bottom line is that whatever we have that has been bequeathed from Father, the meaning behind this bequeathing is that through this process, we can go out and restore the world. We want to change these people who do not understand the will of God and make them understand. Propagate the word of God. He did not send you there to get titles so that you can have prestige. The bottom line is how much you can do with the things that have been given to you by Father in witnessing; going out to the world, reaching out and touching other people. Touching other people who have no idea whatsoever about what we are. They don't know what is going on. They don't know what the motivation was behind Father investing all his life, behind Father suffering and bearing the suffering course.

You know about this Inquisition book. Little by little things are coming out in the open. The reality, the truth, is coming out into the open. All the time while Father was here being persecuted unjustly, what was his motivation, what was his intention during all those troubled and suffering times? What are we to do when we receive these things from Father and this kind of investment where Father literally spent all of his time trying to motivate us, trying to incite us into doing the work that needs to be done in order to restore this world? Father certainly did not send all those people, Father did not invest in these people to go out and get Ph.D.s so that they could go out and praise themselves! That was not the intention. His intention was that you, by Father's investing in you, can go out with the investment that you have received and give ten times, maybe a hundred times or more in return to change this world, make this world understand the will of God.

That is why he invested. And that's what we need to do. We must find within ourselves, what are we able, what are we capable of doing in terms of bringing more and more people, letting people outside understand the intention of God and the true intention of our Parents. That is the bottom line here. If we can achieve this goal solely by the means of cycling people through the seminary, so be it! Let us all go to seminary and let us all get whatever degree we need. If that is the only way to change these people, let's by all means do so. But that is not the reality. Reality is much different than that. The bottom line is that the reason Father invests so much in so many things is because all those things are important. But you must understand that these abilities that you have are not there for yourself. You have received life, you have literally received life, and a spiritual life from Father. Based on this you must return back. Based on the life that you have received, you must give your life in return. So the abilities that you possess must create some kind of benefit. That might not sound so romantic, however it must have some kind of input into the whole picture of the dispensation. That is the bottom line.

What is Abel? Let's see it as the ability that is needed, the thing that is needed in a given time frame. In a way, the Abel person, the description of an Abel person is based on what is needed. I guess to a certain degree it's relative to a certain time frame and based on that specific time frame, Abel is what is needed to bring certain resolution to whatever is needed. Do you understand what I am trying to say? At a given moment, what do we need? What do I need? If I have a business and if I have financial problems, or problems organizing the business, the Abel person in my own eyes, is that person who can manage and organize my financial situation. Obviously, to me that person is Abel. Whatever the case is, given a certain time frame, what is needed to bring resolution to what I need, you can see that person as Abel. Abel is a person having certain ability, certain value to me.

If that is the case, then Father also needs Abel people surrounding him to do the kind of work necessary. And what is that kind of work that he needs to do? It's simple. Father needs people who can represent him, who can go out to the world and tell people, "Hey, this is what God needs. This is the purpose of life. This is the meaning of life." He needs people who can go out and truly become a testament to the existence of God and can truly represent Father every step of the way. Father needs somebody who can go out and change young people who are struggling with many teenage problems. Father needs people who can bring clarity into confusion.

When you look at American society you see it is filled with confusion. There are so many obstacles out there; just growing up is a tremendous challenge. You go to school and you've got so many problems. Why? Because there are so many different values, and based on this barrage of confusing values (values just lingering on everywhere we go), kids are all perplexed. It is very difficult to keep a steady course. Everywhere you go there are influences which somehow make you deviate from the course that you are trying to pursue. There is so much peer pressure, problems with drugs and problems with sex. There are so many there is no point in even counting these things. However, the reality is that any child growing up is faced with these obstacles every step of his or her way to maturity. And in many cases unfortunately, they never mature.

So what is needed? Who is going to go to these troubled children while they are growing up? You know the importance of the period of growth. While they are maturing, who is going to go to these kids and say, "Hey, I know you are confused, but listen to me. If there is a God existing and you want to know about God, if you want to know the meaning of life. . . There are many other people out there who are more than willing, more than happy to give their own opinions, but listen to me, this is Reverend Moon's opinion, this is Reverend Moon's view of life and of God." Who is going to ultimately influence them and change their lives? Are you just going to wait until all these kids, miraculously, automatically, somehow just change?

If you really think that will happen, by all means, go ahead, just sit and wait. Let's all sit back and wait. Not just for the teenagers and children of the second generation, but even for the first generation; how are you going to get proper insights about who Father is to the public? How are you going to do that? That's why we have to mobilize what we have available to us. Being stubborn is fine, it's great. Why? Because you have to be stubborn to a certain degree to block off and fight the temptation that is always around you. You must be stubborn to be victorious in confronting Satan. However, you can't be stubborn when it comes to what is needed.

What we need is a truly different approach to witnessing, a different approach to getting the word out into American society.

As I have more and more people coming to the Manhattan Center, I've been steadily sending these people to workshop. In one particular incident, one of the band members of Ancestors went to a two day workshop at Camp Sunrise. Before he went we gave him one day lecture and I thought it would be a good experience for him to have experience with other newcomers to our church. So I sent him there. While he was in workshop, you know the workshop schedule is very tight; it's one thing after another just constantly. I guess there was an old member who also went to this workshop to, I guess to refresh his memory or rejuvenate his spiritual standing, and obviously he had a certain interest in music. He was excited that the band member came. During this person's day, the long-time member, who was forty odd years old, dogged him around everywhere he went. He would bring his guitar and sing to him. This new guy, the band member, tried very hard just to be friendly. He did, he stayed friendly to the end. I'm sure it was a very difficult thing for him. He is really inspired by Father's work, but after he came back, he was really inspired by the Principle, but he was kind of confused because he thought to himself, "Look at this guy, he is forty-five years old and still coming to workshop." He kind of looked at himself and thought, "Hey, is this me when I'm forty-five?" At that moment he struggled.

I know this older brother had good intentions to try to be friendly with him. In his mind he was trying to make him comfortable by showing him we Moonies love music, but the band member already knows that. I guess he just wanted to reinforce the idea just to be friendly and to get acquainted. That's fine. But you have to understand that presentation is very important when we are dealing with these people, especially in America, where so many things are available and people have seen an excess of what is great. There is such an excess of everything, it's not like in a third world country where people are literally starving and the greatest thing to them at that moment is food. Its not like that here in America. America is filled with excess. So we have to be very careful with presentation. In Russia, it is a different story. Russia is now coming out of communism, it is coming out of misery, and they're just dying to change. They're eager to change because they know what they want to become. They want to become just like America. They want to achieve American standards. They want to achieve that kind of physical development. Do you understand what I am saying? They want to have physical well-being and have a certain environment where there is great wealth and great well-being. That is what they want to achieve. They want to become affluent just like America. They want to be successful like America. In many people's eyes, especially in other parts of the world, America is a symbol of achievement and they are looking at America to become just like here. They want to have this kind of excess too.

Even when I was going to high school, kids could buy their own car just by mowing lawns all summer long. All the kids would say, '"What are you going to do this summer?" "I'm going to work. I'm going to just mow the lawn all summer long because I need a car." Where the hell in the world can you mow a lawn for a few months and get a car? It might sound funny to you, but you grew up in that kind of environment. Do you understand what I am saying? That is the kind of environment you grew up in and you try to take certain, I mean if you don't understand this American reality, it's very difficult to get to an individual's heart and really touch these people. You have to understand where our consciousness comes from. Obviously, in order for us to be aware of something there have to be certain needs. However, it's not just the need that makes a certain impression upon our consciousness. It's not just the need. You have to be emotionally involved. Based on the need, the need itself has to be emotionally accepted and realized. The value of need has to be emotional. That's when certain things come into our consciousness. That's when the awareness starts taking on certain meaning in our lives. Many of you have had spiritual experiences. Many of you have cried tears; I don't know if you cried the tears that Father cried, but you have tasted the tears that Father has shed for the suffering of God. You know you need change in your life. You know that there has to be change in this world and you have felt it.

But many of you do not understand the Principle as much as Father expects of you, many of you even have the wrong understanding about Principle. We have all different understandings. Many of you look at God based on your own desire of how He should be. You search for your god, not God and who He is. That is your problem. You know there is a need to change this world and that need is emotional.

Homosexuals, the kind of lifestyle that they lead is very emotional to them. If somebody tries to take that away from them they will fight until they are dead. What am I trying to say? They need that kind of life. They need to be stimulated anally. Through this sickening love making ritual, they have grown into an emotional state where they have to embrace these things. To them it is something that they desperately need because that is where their value is. The whole thing, the meaning of life is to have pleasure at every end of the body. That is their need, that is their absolute desire, that is their goal in life. Nothing else matters to them. That is the greatest thing they can ever attain. Based on that need they will give and take.

I bond with my guitar. I have an emotional experience with my guitar because I give and take with it every day. It is hard for me to let it go because I've changed its strings, I've cleaned it. It doesn't talk to me, well it talks to me in a sense, but I've bonded with this stupid piece of wood and it's emotional. When I depart from it, I know it's going to be painful. I know. I gave one of my guitars to the band Sunrise Ocean when I was in Japan last year when I played for them and did a little speaking tour. I gave them my guitar after I performed. That was very heartbreaking to depart from my guitar, but maybe they needed it more than I. It's a good kind of symbolic gesture that they were inspired by, so I gave it to them. That is the only reason. But even with the stupid piece of wood, I get attached. You reciprocate with anything for a while, whether it is for a good intention or bad intention, whether it is for a good purpose or a bad purpose, you will reach a certain, I can't say perfection, but you will reach a certain moment, you will reach a certain plateau, let's put it that way.

I'm vulgar sometimes. But you like it that way, don't you?

Instilling the need for a change in American people's minds and their hearts is a very challenging task because you must incite their emotions. Do you understand what I am saying? In the early days when our movement was beginning, we were in a poor country. Every year Father had a regional directors meeting and every time that meeting came about, afterwards, Father normally took all the leaders to eat bulgogi. Once a year. And I lived for that day. When I was a child, I lived for that day. Why? Because I don't like kimchee. I only like meat, but I didn't have any. It was just soy sauce and eggs sometimes, other times thin strips of beef drenched in soy sauce for the purpose of preserving it for a long time. So I lived for that day. To me, it was like going to America, the land of beef. All these cowboys running with hundreds of thousands of cows. To me, in my mind, that image translated into tons of beef. People say this land is literally just lined with milk and honey and steak everywhere and it's true. Steak and eggs are only a dollar in Las Vegas, right? Where else can you get that kind of meal in this world other than in America? It is very difficult to find.

To me, coming to America was personally a very spiritual moment. As a child, my body literally longed for that day. Every cell of my body longed for that day. But when it came it was a different story. However, just the thought of Father coming to America, and Father having all these things like Belvedere -- to me, Father looked great. Truly in my child-like eyes, I don't know how long ago, he looked like he could make himself into whatever he wanted to be and I'd believe it. Because that is where my hope was. My hope was to eat a lot of beef as a child. That was my favorite food, but I never really had the opportunity to experience the kind of moments you can have with the things that you really desire. And I was waiting for that moment to happen. Father looked great to me at that moment. I was going to America.

In the same way, people were inspired by Father's words. Where there is hopelessness all over, in prison, many people flocked to Father's words. He gave them the word of freedom and liberation. Why did these people flock to him? Because there is absolutely no hope in prison. There is hopelessness everywhere you look. With the kind of torture, the kind of hard, forced labor that everybody had to face, and the kind of meals that they received every day... they had no hope, absolutely zilch! But Father would speak about restoring mankind and the vision of God. He would talk about God's heart in a place where there is hopelessness. It is like a child who was eagerly waiting for that juicy steak. It is the same feeling.

Mr. Pak, that man who followed Father in prison, right after he came out, he tagged along for a while and then he split. Obviously Father's words had one meaning in prison, but those same words had a different meaning to Mr. Pak when he came out into the reality. That happened because his desire changed. In prison his absolute desire was to survive, that's it. "Surviving is my absolute desire, absolute need, absolute necessity." That is how he thought at that moment, but when he came out, outside the prison after he was liberated, his needs started to change. "Screw this Bible business, I'm surviving. I need to get on to the next step in life. What is my need?" His needs started to change and that is why he left. Many of you stuck by and I praise you, you kept the right priority of certain needs. Although you did not have a clear understanding, I guess you felt it sacred enough to hold on to your needs until now. I praise you that much. People have many needs and based on these needs, they change. That's the whole problem. I guess this Pak guy, when he split, was more emotionally drawn to something other than Father's words, maybe sex or something. Maybe he had some opportunity to become reacquainted with his old comrade-in-arms who had a high ranking position and maybe he became politically ambitious. I don't know what reason he had but he left because his needs changed. Obviously Father's words did not have the same kind of influencing impact on his needs. I'm not trying to drive it into you; it's the reality.

Why do some people pursue money or fame or power? Why do they do that? "I need money so I can buy things. I need to be driven around in a chauffeured limousine. I need to be flown around in my own private 747. 1 need to be dragged behind my 250 foot yacht while I water ski behind that sucker. I don't want to water ski behind a little dinghy. I've gotta water ski and I need to do it behind a 350 foot yacht! I need to plaster my house with gold fixtures. I need a diamond studded tombstone. That's what I need."

"I need power. Why? Because I want to be great. I don't want no one to tell me what to do. I'm going to tell everybody what to do. That's why I want the power. That's why I need it."

"I need all these women. Why? Because I need to be titillated. I need to be sensitized by my sexual organs. That's the meaning of my life. Whatever makes me happy I'll do it, and it just happens to be having sex with loose women."

You know very well that half of the marriages in America end in divorce. There are a lot of marital problems here. The three important things that Father teaches are parental love, conjugal love and filial love. If you don't obtain a family you can never attain any of these three. You can never understand the meaning behind these three things, the three stages of love that you must understand in order to become God's ideal object. Their marriages break apart. What's the most prevalent cause? One spouse is going out and having sex with other people; playing around. There are some cases of abuse and stuff like that, but mostly it is because they are not faithful to their marriage. They're not faithful to their commitment.

We are God-like beings so we have God-like desires and God's desire is to obtain true love. In order to attain true love you must have a true object who has within himself the same value, the same vision, the same goal, the same intent, the same desire and the same needs. That's what we have to become in order to become God's object of love. And that desire is absolute.

When you look at the rest of humanity as your brothers and sisters, but amidst this sea of people, when the time comes you will pick one person. From the sea of God's children, a mate is chosen for you and based on the union of these two entities, your individual perfection can be reached. Your perfection as a human being. Let me put it this way, your individual perfection can be transmitted to a degree where you are prepared to receive the Blessing; however, perfection as a human being can only come when you are united with a partner in marriage. That is the only way. That bond has to be absolute in order to attain eternal love. That union must be absolute. If that does not happen, the union between God and man can be severed at any time. The relationship is erratic and not an eternal one.

Of course we can act like a seal or a dog and have sex with everything in sight. If I am strong, healthy and beautiful, I can have a whole harem of women around me. However, because we are God-like beings, that's not the plan. If that happens, if we do that, the conflict will never cease. Do you understand what I am saying? If you go out and take my wife at will, at your own discretion, do you think I'm going to sit and watch you have sex with my wife? I'll get you and that woman too. Do you understand what I'm saying? And many people do that. They don't just entertain that idea, but they go out and buy a gun and shoot the person who did that to them. Just for that practical sense, monogamy is absolutely needed. For the purpose of attaining and substantiating eternal love, there can only be one spouse. Right? Because the relationship between God and man is eternal. You can never sever it at will. That is the, most important thing.

You understand what I'm drifting to, right? In order for you to be secure, in order for you have stability, what must you have? For example, in a society, what must you have? Certain uniform codes? Is that all? What's the meaning of having law? The obvious reason is so we can predict our own behavior. Once we can predict, we have stability. Unpredictability causes chaos, confusion, uncertainty and obscurity. Predictability brings us stability. However, within a society, where everything can be predicted, does it have excitement? How does excitement come? From unpredictable things, right? Just picture yourself riding a roller coaster for the first time. A great big sucker is just standing there, monolithic, huge, humongous! You've ridden roller coasters before but just by looking at this sucker you know it is incomparable to anything you have ridden in the past. It's huge. You're are anticipating it. Your heart is beating. You are in line, getting closer and closer to the point where you're going to ride on this sucker. You get on it and your heart beats quicker and quicker. You are climbing up this humongous mountain-like hill. You're on top of it. You're filled with anticipation because you don't know what is going to happen. Of course you know it is going to fall, but you don't know how that is going to affect you. How will it excite you, how will each turn affect you? All those thoughts rush through your mind and all these unknowns excite you.

Having said that, we need these kind of exciting things that are unpredictable things. Where can we get unpredictable things in life which are acceptable, which are allowed? There are two things; sports and art.

In sports the concept is pretty limited however. Of course you know to make a goal you have to kick the ball in and out, but the play, how you kick it in, how this guy manipulates the ball, how he catches the ball or whatever, you can't predict that. That's why it excites us. You can never predict how each play is going to take place. You know it's going to happen, you're going to dunk in the ball. Also, when you're chasing a woman, when you have sex with her, you know it will feel good, but how is it going to happen? How is that moment going to happen? That unpredictability is exciting. Do you understand what I am saying? That uncertainty is what excites you. That's why many people can never get out of their single lifestyle. Why? Because they love that unpredictability, they love that chase. You can have sex with anyone -- an ugly bitch, a fat bitch, skinny or whatever, it's the same thing. But the chase is what excites you.

But in art, the reason it has greater impact is because it carries ideas. It's not just physical play or a physical thing. It carries concepts, it carries ideas, it carries greater symbolism than sports do. Think about it. How are you going to let the people of this world, at this moment, visualize what can happen in the ideal world? How are you going to bring that unforeseen reality into foreseeable reality? You tell me a better means to do that. How are you going to do that? With just words? Well, obviously to American society, words aren't enough. Why? Because you are sensitized to the maximum. It literally has to stimulate all your senses, all your cursory senses, all your perceptive senses; how you perceive things and the way these perceived things affect you. You have to utilize the way in which these things happen to you. You need more than people from other places in the world. Why? Because you are filled with excess. Think about it. How are you going to convey, how are you going to influence, how the hell are you going to persuade American people that Father's way of living will benefit them and change their lives for the better? How are you ever going to let that possibility be seen in front of their eyes? Of course, through our experience, our examples as well, but that is not enough. It must provoke emotions. Do you understand what I am saying? We have to rake in, we have to utilize all the things in creation that is possible, to incite our emotions.

I'm not saying that the old ways are wrong and we have to completely change our way. But even nature changes it's form, even the mountains crumble, even the sea boundaries change. However, the content doesn't change. This creation still belongs to God no matter what form it takes. It doesn't matter how you look, you're just as much a child of God as he is. You have to understand we're not changing the spirit or content inside. Time changes, you change physically, we're just talking about a physical format here. How we witness to people and how we conduct our workshop; we have to critically evaluate these things. The kind of workshop format we have now is not suitable. We have to change our body. The body has to mature with time. I'm not saying the time itself is ideal, but we have to be physically mature enough to deal with the reality of the changing times. The content is not changing, it still belongs to Father. That is what I'm trying to do with the Manhattan Center. I want to go out and preach; propagate Father's words. To win the people is the bottom line, isn't it? Why do you think Father has invested in some members and allowed them to get these Ph.D. degrees? With that investment Father expects them to go and witness to more people. That's what we have to do. We have to reevaluate ourselves.

I am my own critic. Have you heard my latest album? I am almost finished with another one. I'm going to finish it by the end of this month. I'm going to continue until I have 120 songs. I'm almost there. I'm up to ninety, thirty more and I'm set. Then I'll do something else. I don't want to be a musician for the rest of my life. I don't care what I do, I really don't because I don't value any one thing, I value everything. That is what Father taught me, and that is what I think is one of the most important things that Father is trying to teach me. We must understand the value of all the goodness that God has bestowed upon each one of you. Goodness. That's what I want. I look at everybody, I know there are some bad points, some deficiencies, but I try to see and pickup what is good in you. That is the case inside the church, though some people might argue that it is not; however, when you go out into the world, that isn't the reality. Do you understand what I am saying? That's why we have to be great, we have to be excellent. We have to do our best to be the best at whatever we are given. That is our responsibility. Fulfilling responsibility has everything to do with your profession. You have the freedom of choice and you have volition. The reason you have these things is because you must mature.

Think about it, of all the possibilities that exist out there, God has chosen the predictable, God has chosen the ideal of love. Because He has chosen this ideal love to be eternal, that ideal is predictable. Based on this if everybody shares this idea, then we can have a stable, secure world. When He balances, we have to let duality exist within. However, the important thing of this existing duality is having established this ideal subject and object foundation. The predictable ideals of love are subject over all the unpredictable possibilities. All the unpredictable object possibilities support to make the fullness, to make life full in the subject predictable way of living. My life, the Principle life and life in the church are all very predictable. We have formula course and we have specific traditions. However, our life becomes exciting, becomes full with all these arts. When we entertain ourselves or listen to music it excites us. I especially love music that is unpredictable because it excites me. Predictable music is okay sometimes, when I am in a certain mood it can be good but most of the time I like unpredictable things. I am very physical, but I need to be stimulated -- not just physically. I listen to music and literally get physically stimulated, but at the same time intellectually too. Just following along with the music I try to pick out and when unpredictable things happen its great! So within the bounds of predictability you have to let the unpredictability dwell within it. But it is the object to the predictable subject of Principle life.

Obviously, from the beginning God said do not take the fruit of good and evil, if you do you shall surely die. What is that supposed to mean? You can die or you can not die. That unpredictable circumstance, how are we going to perfect ourselves? You figure it out. Why do you think we need an order, why do you think we need a figure of respect? Because without having a subjective figure there is no harmony. Because there needs to be a centralness, a grounding. You must have certain ground on which unity can be attained. Otherwise it is all separate. That's why it is important for a family to be intact. That is why it is important for a child to have a respectable father. Having that respectable figure in our lives is important. When nothing else is sacred that is when we ourselves become not sacred. We have to have a certain sacredness in our lives. Do you understand what I am saying?

By the language that I choose to use at this certain moment, you don't see a dignity in it, I know that. I'm tying to make you understand so I don't have to say these things to you. I'm trying to excite you guys. Come on let's get up and do something. I like challenges, I'll stick my neck out, so what? Images can be changed. You might see me with a certain image at this moment, but that image can change for the better. I will certainly not try to change it for the worse. But the bottom line is that I want you to get up and do something about it. Because you can't expect and can't attain perfection by someone doing it for you. You've got to perfect yourself. Father gives us his experience about having relationship with God. That is what he is trying to teach us. But the experience with God in our lives has to be acquired by our own efforts. It can never be given to you, you have to make it happen. I'm sorry to use that old cliche, but you've got to earn it, you've got to make it happen within yourself. You can never be given an experience about God by someone else other than yourself. That is why Father and I stress individual responsibility so much. You can't be given, you have to get it on your own. Things can be shown, but the actual walking and experiencing the path that you are taking must come by your own effort. If you expect you can just sit down, lay back and have someone teach you about God, go screw yourself because you will never get it. You'll never find it. That expectation will never meet God's expectation. "The reason that I believe in God is that He will cure my sickness. The reason that I believe in God is that He will make something happen in my life."' But that is not God's expectation. You will never realize God's expectation unless you experience God within yourself, by yourself. Do you understand what I am trying to say?

I go through a psychological battle every time I come here. I could use the time more wisely, but I see it in this way -- if I come here and share with you the best I can in that moment, it will affect you. With that in mind I come. I have a lot of things to do, I literally do. I have so many plans that demand work By myself with our skeleton crew, I just invested close to a million dollars worth of material and new equipment into Manhattan Center. I have to pay for it. I'm not going to run to Father saying, "Hey Father, give me a million dollars." I'm not going to say that. I've got to make that money some how. I'm branching out. We have three studios now. We're making a fourth studio and it's going to be really big, bigger than whatever I have now. I'm going to get a complete video editing suite. I want everything under my own roof. Nobody is going to tell me what to do; I'm going to do it myself. I don't want to go to Father to ask him for money. I want to give him money. "Hey Father, here is several million dollars, I know you can put it to good use." I want to do that -- even give Father a billion dollars. That's what we want to do, so we're trying to make it work.

Father is planning a lot of things. We have to let people in the future know Father's vision and Father's intention. We have to make his vision "seeable" and touchable. So, I know what I am doing is absolutely necessary. We've got to utilize these things and this is a way to get the word out to all the people of the world, not just an exclusive few but to everybody. Time is precious. This is a great thing to conserve time. Practically speaking, what better form or method do you know of for getting the word out to people? That is our mission and our goal in life; to get the word out, to help the people of the world change. I just can't believe that we haven't done anything about it. We don't need direction from Father. Let's raise it up on our own and make it big. That means that you have to have a certain talent. You have to know what it is and you have to give effort. Every time I play I try to do it better than what I did before. That is torture. I literally have to come up with a new song and record it every three days. That's how it works, that's how we do it. From nothing I did the third album in fourteen days. But I want to do more. That is not my end. I always forget whether it is for good or bad. Things I have done in the past, let it stay there, I go on. I try to do more. That should be the attitude of all of us; to never take comfort in what we did, but in what we can do and what we must do. That is what is needed here! Before you can smell the roses you have to clean your house. Make your children rejoice in God's name and True Parents name. Affect your surroundings. That should be your attitude. What else do I need to say. Go out into society. We've got to go out and get the word out! That is the bottom line; everybody should find a way.

It's frustrating as hell. It's tortuous, but somebody has to do it. Many times you just sit there and pass judgement without even knowing. What kind of false, unjust person is that? You don't know what goes through my mind. It is easy to judge. You don't know what goes on inside Father's mind. You don't know his responsibility. Even this justice system here gets to hear both sides of the story. What makes you so great that you are above everything, that you know everything without touching or knowing it? You don't even have enough basis or facts to assess and evaluate. Instead you just pass judgement. How would you like it if God were like that? Father is trying to teach you to become God-like. Do you think God is like that? I don't want that kind of God. God is more fair than that. He is true and just.

How much did you love Father? How much did you shed tears for Father? While you are suffering and shedding tears for your own sake, how much did you shed tears for Father's suffering? That's what he felt and experienced in order to understand God's heart. When you were starving or in pain, how much did you feel Father's pains? When you were lonely, how much did you feel Father's loneliness or someone else's for that matter? When you were down, when you were struggling, how much did you think about Father's struggles and suffering? Not much! Not enough! You've got no validity to judge others, especially Father. Is that just, fair and true?

Go out, you've got to find a better way to spread the word. Before Father dies I want to bring America and the world to Father. I'm getting a lot of offers, evidently the New York City Symphony and Ancestors concert at Carnegie Hall caused a commotion and certain excitement. However, I want to reach the whole world. A big distribution company in Japan wants to sign us, but I said, "No, not now. We'll hold on for that second." I want to break in America. If I break here I can write my own ticket anywhere else. So I want to hold off on anywhere else. That's why I need a good product, that's why we're trying to work on a better album for this current market.

Go out and do something about it. When somebody tells you, you just sit there. God, I hate that. That is what I despise the most. Do it on your own. Make yourself better before you start criticizing others. Make yourself worthy of the Blessing. Because you have the blessing, you have the potential to be worthy. However, you must make yourself worthy of the Blessing. Becoming a tribal messiah too, do you think that is an easy task? You must have it. Father is a symbol of how we should pattern ourselves. You need an example of the ideal. That is why Father is the True Parents to all the tribes. Father is the Messiah to the tribal messiahs. We need the model, but you are the physical people who will restore your own lineage. Through your physical presence, all your ancestry can be restored. Why? Without the foundation of substance there is no intervention. You can't receive anything. You have nothing to do with God. That is where you come along. You are that foundation of substance in restoring your lineage. For the restoration of your lineage, your are that foundation. That is the meaning behind tribal messiah. That is why you can't say that Father is my father. No, it isn't like that in that sense. Father is the father figure; that means subject figure. The word "father" itself is more warm, emotional, close and friendly than just "subject" or "king". Other titles are impersonal, however you can't just think of it like, "He is my father so he will take care of me." Your role is tribal messiah. That means within yourself and within your life, you must follow the course of Father and establish, as he has done, that kind of standard and way of living for the sake of God, in your own family and lineage. Ultimately you have to restore your lineage. You literally have to become the ancestor of your lineage. That is how a new beginning comes. The ways of old passes and the new age begins. This is the beginning of time and through you your ancestry will be restored. That kind of thing is necessary.

I'll tell you this, but you don't like it because you have more responsibility coming to you. If you can't handle it, you don't deserve those blessings. Someone else, who is perhaps waiting for a new marriage and who can represent your lineage, that person will take your position in restoring the lineages of the world. All this diversity, all these multiple things, must have a common base. That is why we need Father. That is the only way we can attain unity. Everybody here who represents the Blessing represents that figure who represents each tribe, all these different lineages, all different races.

The thirty six couples are the eldest. Seventy two is next. One hundred twenty four next and on down. That's how it is. This is a subject for another day though.

Do you understand what I am trying to say? Did I depress you? So lees be responsible and take action with our own hands. We've got to make it happen in our own lives. Do you understand? We have to make it happen. I try my best to convey certain things to you. I don't know how well I did. However, if you gained something from it, if my words meant something to you, if this will help you a little bit, by all means take it and use it freely. Talk to others. Share with others. Make it yours. I don't give a hoot if you say they are your own words. Let's go, let's not just dwell in the past lifestyle that we have dwelt in. Lees move on, let's be better. Let's better ourselves, okay? Father deserves much more than what we are offering now. Every time I get depressed because everything we fall short in makes Father depressed. Father is like a piggy bank, everyone runs to him when they are short of money. That's the kind of attitude that persists. I'm sick and tired of seeing that garbage. We should not even be running toward him for his spiritual advice every chance we get. But never mind that, literally Father has become a piggy bank. That disgusts me. Because of these kinds of actions I hate you all; I do. You take pride in all the things that you've done, not thinking about what all has gone into your accomplishments. Even those accomplishments aren't so worthwhile. That's no good. You've got to stand up. Do you understand?

Does everybody understand? Let's try to bring victory. Exciting things are going to happen. Let's make our lives different by our own hands. Please. Let's follow in Father's footsteps. Let's not beg anymore. Let's not ask for comfort; let's not even think of Father as a point of solace, as a person of comfort. Let's try to give him comfort. Let us be a comforting place where he can rest and where he can completely relax. Let's provide that kind of environment when he can completely be himself without even having one thought of worry in his mind that well take certain things in wrong stride or that we don't understand certain things. Lees get rid of all those and let us truly become children that Father can take comfort from. What's wrong with that? I think that's great and beautiful.

I think that is the most romantic idea there is. I'm a sucker for romanticism. I'm a very romantic person. Let's be like that. Let's give Father comfort. Through our work. Does anybody have disagreement with that? Am I missing the point? I think that is what filial piety is. In order for us to realize the ideals of love, we must realize parental love, conjugal love and filial love. As a son or daughter, we must love our parents. What is loving? Giving worries, giving grievances; things that will bring them gloom and despair in his heart? Is that love? I don't think so. Do your best. Father trusts that you can do these things. You can bring love, not just to your own family but to the rest of creation and ultimately to God's heart. That is what he takes comfort in. That is when you become a filial son. I believe that with my whole heart. Although it is difficult I will pursue it, whatever it takes. I will make myself worthy, I will do whatever it is that I set out to do. I will do it! Even if it means I have to torture myself, I will do it. With that in mind, lets all do it. With that in mind, let's all pray.

Inheriting God's Heart And True Parents' Heart

Hyo Jin Moon
April 28, 1991
Belvedere, New York

Inheriting Gods heart and True Parent's heart is the way we can liberate ourselves from Satan's bondage. When you look at the cause of the Fall of man you can see that man was in a passive position to be influenced by Satan's temptation. Passively being the object of Satanic influence caused the Fall of man. Ideally, God should have been the one in the position to influence man to act according to His ideal will. However, the Fall occurred because of Satan interfering in the affairs and the action of man. Man is the primary reason the Fall happened.

Understanding that notion, the first thing we have to do in order to restore ourselves in the course of restoration, to rid ourselves of this fallen satanic lineage, is to completely reverse that position under which man has put himself. So by having a subject to influence mankind in a way opposite to the Fall, man can be reinstated to his original place. There has to be someone in a position to influence mankind. That must be realized first. In the course of restoration you must have a figure who can influence fallen man to ultimately change the course of history, thus change themselves also. Having that central figure is very important in the restoration course. Why? Because due to a satanic presence and influence, man chose, through his own volition, the course of Satan. However, having to rid ourselves of this fallen lineage we first must find some being other than Satan to influence us, to help us pull away from the course of fallen man's history, attitude, perspective and way of living. We must have somebody other than Satan to change and redirect us, to give us a new bearing in our way of life, and change our way of living.

When you look at the Principle, the important thing is overcoming the conflict of Cain and Abel. It raises the importance of subject and object relationship. What I am trying to stress before I go any further is that in order for us to separate from our fallen nature, we must have a subject. We must have an ideal subject and object relationship. In every aspect of our lives, having that ideal subject figure is the way that we can separate ourselves and physically lay the condition of indemnity. That is very important. We have to lay the necessary condition to rid ourselves of our fallen nature.

How do you go about doing that? Because the Fall itself was physical, we must have some physical manifestation to rid ourselves of this fallen human presence. We need that ideal subject and object relationship within our lives which can be the condition of indemnity ultimately to substantiate ourselves in our own individual restoration.

Normally we don't have that kind of perspective. Most times that subject and object relationship is a burden to us. We must separate ourselves from that old way of thinking. Satan wants us to be exclusive. He doesn't like the idea of inclusion. Obviously he did not want to be a part of God's whole idea or plan of creation. Knowing God's plan he thought of his position as worthless compared to other positions. He had an individual preference to God's plan of creation in this specific area. He did not realize, did not grasp, did not inherit the whole ideal. He had a preference for just a certain aspect of it. Based on that he drew himself larger and larger. He excluded himself from God's ideal plan. This whole notion of exclusion from the ideal plan is the key factor in separating mankind from Heavenly Father. Satan always tries to hold onto that key aspect and, in a way, it is his utmost abused weapon. He utilizes this weapon in every aspect of our lives.

Going back, to rid ourselves of this fallen nature, we must first start with an ideal circumstance. We must erect an ideal circumstance in which we can separate ourselves from Satan and create an ideal relationship with Heavenly Father. To reach that goal we must start by creating that ideal relationship of subject and object within our lives. It is that important. We have to separate substantially from the satanic way of life and satanic influence -- Satan's lineage.

The key lies in having that ideal relationship. Ask yourself, "Do I truly value that kind of relationship?" If you don't, you still have a long way to go. I'm telling you, that is the first step. It is the beginning of your ultimate liberation. Your liberation lies in accepting the ideal. principled relationship of subject and object. So when Father gives an assignment, everyone is object to that. Everybody is object to the subject. No one is excluded. Even God is an object to love. In order to become an ideal being we have to realize the value of subjectivity as well as objectivity. God also realized that. Even though He is the subject of all humanity and all the creation, the ultimate subject, He still realizes the value of being an object to love. Although He is the absolute subject, He also wants to become the absolute object. Within Himself them is the existence of an ideal duality of subject and object.

In order to attain God's true ideal of love, you must possess that quality of ideal subjectivity as well as objectivity within yourself. That is the first step from which you can ultimately realize the ideals of God. Everybody has certain positions. Within the church there is a certain order and that is very important. How else can we attain unity? Knowing the value of this ideal subject/object relationship that we all have to possess (that ideal quality of possessing subjectivity and objectivity) we practice in our lives and try to unite with our central figures, the people within the group to which you belong. You try to unite based on that understanding.

Many times difficulty comes because you assess that relationship physically. We rely too much on external perception, our physical senses. Because we rely so much on that, we overwhelmingly emphasize it and our lives literally are dictated by our physical senses. We bring conflict onto ourselves. Try to gain the perspective by which you can overcome what you feet externally, and allow your spirit, with the Principle standard, unite with the spirit which ultimately wants unity of the whole. Let's try to follow that and do away with our external perceptions. Based on that kind of effort we will realize eventually an environment where even with our physical senses we won't be influenced. We won't be led into conflict. Because through our efforts everything else will be erected in a proper way. Things will be manifested according to the ideal plan of God.

Because we are in a course of restoration we have to recreate the ideal. Perspective literally lies within one's self. The vision of the ideal environment, the ideal world, has not yet been manifested but it dwells within our own consciousness and spirit. It exists within the inner body of humanity. In a way that is a difficulty that we am facing. Although we're living in a physical world being influenced by physical things all through the day, all through our lives, we're trying to bring out something that lies within. At the same time I cannot really see and touch the reality of the future. That is the difficulty we are facing. You can't avoid accepting that idea when you accept the notion of the restoration of mankind. We have to create a new world. Do you think we can create that out of the old world? No. It lies within the ideals of mankind. This world is manifestation of the evil of man not the ideals of God and mankind. It is the other side. So we must seek within and avoid what has already been manifested. Seek within to find the ideals of God because they have not been manifested. Look within yourself.

Do you understand what I am saying or do you think this is just wishful thinking? I can compare myself in the very beginning and now. You don't feel so intimidated by my presence anymore. [Laughter.] In the past you felt a little uncomfortable, a little strange because sometimes I'm too forceful. In a way, I'm grateful that everyone is trying to rethink and understand my words rather than just look at what I present to you externally. You are trying more to understand the essence and meaning behind the words that I speak. I really appreciate that. I'm grateful that you are trying to do that. That is the first step on the path by which we can understand Father's heart.

To completely digest Father's words you really have to invest yourself 100 percent. You literally have to do away with your physical body, your external senses. They have been formed in un-ideal surroundings. Many of the things that you rely heavily upon, assessing, comparing, and evaluating, lie in a domain with which you really shouldn't tamper. In a way you are left in a dilemma. You need a certain standard by which to evaluate, yet many things that you have acquired through your life are not really worthy of that task. I understand the difficulty.

Inheriting God's heart is truly the way we can liberate ourselves from Satanic bondage. When you look at your selves the most important aspect of man is our ability to create. That really separates us from the rest of the creation. I feel that ability is really essential in this course of uniting with and ultimately attaining Father's heart. It is important that we have imagination for instance. Let's take Father's life for example. Father has gone through many difficult courses. Most of you know something, but no details, about Father being in prison. Father suffered a great deal, physical torture and a great deal of physical and mental suffering. But the way he overcame all those things was in a way, very simple. He relied on his imagination. When he was at Hungnam the food ration was meager. Meager isn't the word. He had to work ten hours a day. Men worked in a ten man team and their daily quota was to fill 1600 sacks of nitrogen fertilizer. No matter what, they had to finish that quota in order to receive food. But that food ration was just half the size of your fist, a mixture of cereals like millet and barley. It was very meager food. With that food ration Father had to work that strenuous routine day in and day out. He lived like that for two years and eight months. Every day he had to fulfill that quota. Of course if he didn't fulfill it he didn't get anything to eat.

There are so many things that I am trying to include in a video project that I am doing. I'm trying to explain some things in a little more detail so you will at least know what kind of things that Father had to overcome. You need a good point of assessment. You need some kind of ideal by which to evaluate yourself. You need a good example.

So this is what Father had to deal with. In the beginning Father realized his responsibility. He had to go through the course of indemnity because of the failure of man. So he had to put himself in the frame of mind that, "I have to face this course of the cross. I will face unimaginable suffering, so I will accept this suffering and whatever more I may have to bear. I will try to bring the suffering onto myself to prepare for the task to come because I must put myself in a frame of mind where I can ultimately overcome any kind of satanic obstacles."

So when he received his small food ration, in the beginning, he cut even that ration in half and he gave it to the others. He thought, "I must put myself through this kind of rigor. I must try to overcome the utmost difficulty regardless of the circumstances. I will even try to bring greater suffering onto myself. So many people have died for the sake of God but failed. If I am to fulfill this ideal will of God, then I must test myself to the ultimate limit. I must stretch myself."

Based on that idea, Father cut his ration in half and started giving to others. He imagined that what he was eating was much greater than those who died of starvation. After he lived through a certain period of indemnity giving away half his food, after seven days, he started consuming his own food. But when he started doing that, he imagined that he was receiving twice as much as before. He did all these things through his imagination. He tried to overcome that difficulty through his imagination. He felt that he was receiving much more than what it was in reality.

When he was carrying that person on his back he tried to compare himself to . . . it's bothersome sometimes to think of some of the people who were with Father in the beginning. Anyway . . . many of you have seen those pictures of Father carrying Mr. Pak. He was carrying that person across the seabed a distance of about six kilometers. I'll try to tell you later the circumstances surrounding it. I'll try to explain it in the video. He had literally to carry this person even though his own physical condition, just coming out of prison, was not good. All through his time in prison he utilized his imagination, thinking.. "I must overcome no matter how difficult it is." He gave himself inspiration. He relied on his imagination to see that his work was incomparable to the kind of suffering God was facing. He really tried to think about God's heart and tried to visualize the suffering of God. Based on the visuals that he created with his imagination about God, he overcame all those difficulties, even when he was carrying Mr. Pak. Of course it was physically difficult; he had just come out of Hungnam prison, living under those circumstances for almost three years. Obviously, he was not in shape physically to carry anybody for that long distance, let alone across a slippery, muddy seabed. Try to put yourself in that situation. But he thought to himself, "I'm not carrying a man, I'm not feeling this physical pain." While he was carrying this person he tried to think about God's heart. He imagined, 'This load is nothing compared to what I must bear in order to complete the mission of restoring humanity. This is nothing compared to what I must face later on." Based on that idea, relying on his pure imagination, Father drew a pure rationale to help him persevere through all kinds of hardship.

Ultimately they reached their destination, but couldn't find any boat to travel down to South Korea and he had to walk back carrying this man again. He had to travel the same course again. It's just unbelievable that anybody in that situation, indebted to a person in that way, would ever forget their gratitude. But this person, he rejected Father later on. I guess he couldn't bear the persecution that he was receiving from all around him. He couldn't take it so he left. That's the course of Father. In a way that is the essence of his life. Over and over. People who were to assist and support Father rejected him because of their own individual lack of understanding.

Through these difficult times Father relied on his imagination. He believed in the ideal world. He believed that what he imagined would one day come true.

We have to do the same, because telling oneself that "I will take the responsibility" is a very important thing when you understand it personally. Why? Even when Adam fell, you could blame Satan's temptations or satanic influence, but even when he fell and was cast from the Garden of Eden, he shed tears but not for the sake of God, only for himself and the loss of his own position. He blamed Eve and Eve blamed Adam, they blamed each other. They didn't want to take responsibility for their own actions, so, they blamed each other and they shed selfish tears. That is another aspect of fallen nature. Man used creativity -- his imagination -- because he imagined Satan's temptation to be greater than God's commandment. Based on that stupidity, what did Adam do? He started blaming Eve for his own selfishness and fallen mistake. He didn't take responsibility for the sin he committed himself. That was one cause of the fall, and we have to restore it. That means we have to go the opposite way. Use your imagination to unite with Father and God and be responsible. Don't blame other people. I don't want to blame anyone for what I've done, I blame myself. I'll take all the flack. If the second generation goes wild because of me, I'll take responsibility for it. It would be my fault. I'll say it straight. That's the example Father is trying to teach us.

In order for you to be true children of Heavenly Father you must inherit Father's "All" and that is it. "Father I will use my own ability in a manner that will ultimately unite with you. At the same time I will be a responsible person. I will not neglect my responsibility or blame others." Do you understand what I'm saying? That's the kind of thing that Father is trying to teach us. Anything other than that I believe is unnecessary.

Now we have this idea to seek unity at one's own convenience. That is the American way of seeking unity. That is wrong. That is not the way. If you really want to change the American way of living, if you really care for America, you really have to live for the sake of others. When you shed tears don't shed tears, for your own pitiful self. Start shedding tears for others and ultimately try to shed tears for True Parents and for Heavenly Father, for all they have done for you. In the future we will create an environment when just by breathing and living we will be inspired by Father's works. That time will come, however it is not yet here. We have to rely upon our ability to create the ideal within ourselves. We have to rely on that for now.

Father mentioned after coming out of Danbury that we have to unite with the second generation, that it was time for the second generation's course, for them to take an active role in the course of restoration. In every situation, in all circumstances, Heavenly Father must have an Abel figure to intervene in mans affairs. There has to be that presence. We are in Abel's position in terms of looking at all Christianity and the religious world. You know the end of Father's forty year indemnity period is coming. The time is coming for the second generation to work. The reason Father is stressing these things is that now the Abel position within the church is being transferred towards the second generation. That is why it is most important. Speaking from a worldly point of view, the first generation has acquired greater experience and understanding of the world. However, God does not rely on that fact alone. He must choose an Abel figure. In every stage there has to be a union between Cain and Abel, restoring the ideal subject and object positions. It is important for the Unification Church to unite, so there has to be an Abel figure. There has to be an Abel body within the church itself. That is why Father is saying, "You first generation must unite with your children." We as a body, as a church, must go out and influence society, the nation and ultimately the world. if we are to do that we must first become a solid, united Cain and Abel body. And who will take the position of Abel within the church to realize that ideal body? Abel is the second generation's position. The first generation is in the Cain position. That is another thing that is important: realizing the value of that subject and object relationship. Because the false choosing of a subject and object relationship caused the fall, we must redeem and make reparations for that circumstance within our lives, within our own living situation. So with whom will we unite as a body of the church? We must unite with the second generation.

There is another important task that lies ahead of us. I stress that we must take charge. When you read Father's speeches you'll see Father stresses many times that we must ultimately restore the environment. For example in volume 32, page 94, he stresses the reason that we can't really separate ourselves from our fallen nature is because the satanic environmental pull is greater than our own will. At the same time our desire to unite with God is less than our desire to fulfill our own needs. That is no good. Our will is not strong enough to live up to the expectation of our spiritual self. It is not strong enough to unite. The pull of the physical environment is so great that we can't break away from it. This is blocking us from truly being able to develop as ideal people. Restoring the environment is an important thing that we cannot neglect.

When you understand this, you'll see we need people who can give us living guidance, the kind of guidance that can affect our lives. There are many ways in which you can approach this. Everything, all the possibilities have to be touched and ultimately attained to gain the proper guidance for mankind. This is a key to restoring the world in the future. We must have it now, within our grasp. For certain reasons we are cutting funds on some of the projects. Father wanted them to become autonomous in terms of their finances. Father did not cut them off completely, but he has reduced their budget. So we have to start taking charge of all the things that Father has made. We have to have Abel people who can take care of all these things. Just one Abel man alone cannot run these things. We need bodies for physical influence. If you want to influence a society or nation you must create a body worthy of creating a certain trend of influence. That is very important. Your responsibility does not just lie in doing the things you are normally assigned. You should expand and try to do more., You need to understand more about Father's life because obviously you're not doing it on your own. So somebody comes along and makes a video and gives it to you. You can lay back in your reclining chair and look at Father's suffering course. Somebody has to take responsibility. Don't just say to yourself, "Somebody else will take that responsibility. It's got nothing to do with me." With that kind of attitude do you think we can restore the world?

How is it physically possible to unite the mass of humanity centering on True Parents? How will it be physically possible without you all acting in accord with True Parents, with the same commitment, same conviction, giving the same kind of effort, sacrificing in the same manner. Without all these things how do you expect to connect the rest of humanity to the True Parents? There is no way. Sitting in your home, doing your own thing, trying to overcome your own difficulty is not adequate to reach even the minimum standard. We really have to do more. We really have to understand the importance of gaining influence over the environment which surrounds us. Step by step we have to educate people. And people like you have to wake up and start taking responsibility more and more. Start doing things on your own. "Let me fill those shoes, let me be the writer or whatever." Our existence is that there am so many things to do and no time.

Time is my enemy here. I have so many things to do but I can only do so much within this time. When I'm sitting down organizing things for this project or that, it is very difficult. We really have to be more creative. Being creative itself is in a way the greatest challenge. When you're creating, even when you're organizing something tangible, something you can see and touch it is difficult, but try to arrange something that does not exist and try to bring about a certain arrangement amidst reality. It's very difficult. When you're creating songs, they're not tangible. You can't touch them. They're there, but it's unreal. You have to find it and somehow organize it. Juxtapose it in your head and based on that realization you have to try to realize it physically. You want to actually implement it in the end. That is very difficult but we have to do that from now on. More and more we have to be creative. We really have to rely on our creativity in changing the world. That is the key. Just as Father has envisioned the ideal world in difficult surroundings, we must do that also. Our duty is to properly propagate Father's words and vision. Through our substantial body let the rest of the world visualize the ideal world of Father. That is our responsibility, so we have to be creative. Of course the concept lies in the ideals of God themselves, however it's not being manifested yet.

Drama is very important. We have to dramatize what is ideal. Movies, television programs, documentaries, whatever, we must utilize all these things so that people of this fallen world who have no idea of God's will can see for themselves the possibility of the ideal world. All your creativity is very, very welcome in the future. So think about that when you look at, I'm probably just heading off course now, but when you look at the universe, scientists say that the universe is a big sphere and that it is growing. It's constantly growing. The universe has a boundary yet the boundary itself is growing. Wow! When you think about that there is the concept of love. Within love them is a boundary. Why? True love itself is a particular thing. It is individualized so to speak. This body is constantly growing. What is fueling this constant growth? Procreation. The ability to propagate, that is fueling this humanity. The wealth of true love. Do you understand what I'm saying? Just like the physical universe itself, within that boundary, within the spectrum of true love, there stand True Parents. We will eternally grow. We'll have this eternal possibility. The eternal concept of love lies within that boundary. That's the creation, the physical world. In a way that's cheap philosophy, but it makes sense doesn't it?

How then can you invest in this ever growing boundary of love? You have to use your true creativity or imagination. To let it expand to greater and greater fields centering on True Parents. Let people of the world see that. That is our duty and obligation. Knowing what people like, should we avoid it? No. We have to try to utilize everything that we have within our means to further Father's work in a very limited time. How long do you think Father will stay in this physical world? Of course I'm digging down into that kind of low music world or entertainment area. It's very low society, the lowest level, but somebody's got to own it. I wish everybody could really see the need to do that, to get in there and try to fix it. Make everything down there clear, clean it up. Because of all the stink, it's rising, it's coming up from below. Stink rises. Somebody has to go in there and get rid of all the stink. I didn't mean to crack at my own thing, but do you understand what I'm saying? We really have to try to do that.

Knowing Father's testimony, I know that Father really is creative. He is the most creative person that I know. I don't think I could put myself into that frame of mind under the circumstances in which he lived. I don't know, because I never was in that kind of situation. Maybe I could, but not; I don't know. But Father really utilized his ability, his imagination, his creative ability. Within those situations he could overcome the suffering and unite with Heavenly Father. Of course the desire was there to unite with Heavenly Father. That is what he tried to do and this is why he used his creativity. To give himself fuel and inspiration to overcome his physical situation. This allowed him to persevere through the hardship. But obviously that need and desire was there. Based on that desire he utilized these things to overcome the difficulty. That's what we got to do. We lack creativity. You're such numbskulls. You guys are lame in terms of creativity. You've got to be more creative. Father's now giving us the freedom to be more creative. Do you understand? In the past you could blame it on the course of restoration or paying indemnity, but not in the future. You have no more excuses. You've got to be more creative. We need creative people. Everybody go out from now, go ahead and take over everything. I want to create everything. I want to make an entertainment capitol bigger than Hollywood here in New York in the future. I'm really excited but at the same time I'm physically tired. But I want to let my excitement over whelm me. There are so many things I have to do, but I really try not to think about. I try not to waste my energy blaming this and that or complaining. That's just a waste of energy; you all know that. So cut off even the slightest possibility of wasting energy, okay? Set it straight and persevere even that little amount that you could spend on complaining for something more constructive than just complaining.

What I'm saying to you right now is degrading right? It should be. It should be degrading. So I will not ever say that again. I really wish that times like this we could come here and just read Father's words out loud and just go and do our own responsibility. Not for somebody else to come and tell you what to do, but just read Father's words and go out and do our own responsibility. I really hope that day will come. Some days I wish that in the future we won't even have to gather like this every week. We will be able to take care of ourselves and do what is necessary. When the time comes to gather, we will with no problem, however not to just become routine, but to really understand the essence of our gathering. Once we realize it, we won't need these kind of training wheel sessions, teaching us how to act properly. Father has said that in the ideal world you don't need to pray. Why would you need to pray? In the environment and everything else you would be united with Father and united with Heavenly Father. Going the course of restoration of course we have to pray, we have to rely on spiritual guidance because we're still mending the reality. We're setting the reality straight. We're making a lot of adjustments now. We're re-creating. That is why we have to rely on our spiritual guidance. However, once the ideal world is manifested, what do you need? Why would you need prayer? The environment itself is the ideal. Everything around you will be an ideal influence or force.

That's it! I'm finished. From now on I should make the service maybe just fifteen minutes or so. Maybe thirty minutes, how's that? Everybody would like that, I know! There will come day when we can broadcast our services to our homes and it won't make us lazy at the same time. When that day comes, you don't have to come here. So if you don't come here, I'll understand that you're not lazy. So have a nice week. By the way, Father is returning today [from South America]. The Russian delegates are coming, that is why he is coming back. And after meeting he will return. Everybody have a good week. Be more creative in your life, okay? Thank you.

The Key To Restoring The World Lies Within Us

Hyo Jin Moon
April 21, 1991
Belvedere, New York

Today my topic will be "The Key to Restoring the World Lies Within Us." We all understand Adam and Eve as the symbol of mankind, as the primary ancestors, the primary beings of mankind. Adam and Eve symbolize the ideal of man and ultimately the ancestry of mankind. In order for each individual to be perfected, they must resemble and emulate the model of Adam and Eve. The true model must be set and must be present in order for an ideal world to be manifested.

Realizing the ideal of creation, the ideal world lies in mankind receiving the true Adam who has conceived Heavenly Father's spirit as well as body. In other words, our purpose in life lies in becoming like the true Adam and Eve. just because Adam and Eve are in our midst does not give us the automatic right to become like them. We must make effort to become like Adam and Eve in order for the ideal world to be realized.

Knowing that, when you look at creation and think about the circumstances of the Garden of Eden in the beginning, it is interesting to realize one point which secular people, especially atheists who do not even believe in God, accuse God as not fulfilling and being inadequate. That point is: uncertainty, the obscurity and uncertainty which was there in the beginning. Obviously, when Adam and Eve were in the position to conceive of and become the physical representation of God, they were in a position of uncertainty. They could either fall or not fall.

They were in that position from the very beginning. Once you understand the will of God, however, that very uncertainty is essential for the perfection of mankind to become like God. It is the absolutely necessary element through which mankind can become like God. In order for man to become Godlike, the presence of uncertainty is an absolutely necessary element in the equation of fulfilling the perfection of creation.

Why is that? It is because man is the object to God who ultimately has to be in the position to reciprocate with God the ideals of love. In other words, in order for God to have an object who can reciprocate with him, with all that He desires and all that He wills, the object must also possess the quality of God. Simply put, the object must be Godlike.

Within that came the ideals of love, the ideals of true love. So also within man must come the ideals of love. Under the condition of uncertainty existed all different kinds of possibilities. God is omnipotent. Under this circumstance of many possibilities, God chose the ideals of love. Based on that tremendous uncertainty, man must, through the ability to choose, based on volition, free will, make the choice which will unite with God's also choosing to create the ideal world of love. That is a very important element in perfecting mankind.

Many people up to now have used this as the source of criticism. "Why," they ask, "If God is almighty and all powerful, why is He so helpless?" It is not that God is helpless, but uncertainty itself is the absolutely necessary element in realizing God's purpose of creation. That is the key.

That key itself was distorted by Satan. As long as that is not realized, he can do whatever he wills to mankind because that is the key in perfecting ourselves. That is the key. Uncertainty was the part of creation which God meant mankind to have. Why? Because we ourselves must become Godlike through our own free will, based on the ability to choose. We must be able to choose out of the different possibilities. Temptation is one of the possibilities, however it is not the ideal possibility. It will not bring the outcome which will enable us to create the ideal world.

The only way we can create the ideal world is to unite with the ideals of God. In the absence of God, the ideal will never manifest itself. The ideal world of eternal peace and joy, happiness and harmony will never manifest itself with the absence of God. We must have God present. That is the absolutely necessary element. Man has failed to understand this.

Think about it. Adam was uncertain, thinking, "Why did God tell me not to take the fruit of good and evil?" He was uncertain about the possibility. However, there was some other person, some other entity giving him a notion other than God's direction, telling him, "Hey, if you take this, it will make you something else. You won't die, but you will become Godlike. So, forget His ideas. You follow me." Well, that was another concept, another notion present which was available and in a way "revealed" to mankind.

However, based on his free will, mankind could have made a decision to choose God's way. Although he was uncertain, through his own reasoning, he could have chosen absolutely by himself to unite with God. He could have himself given the answer to unite with God. That would have been the condition for mankind to unite with God. He himself, within himself, could have derived the answer which would ultimately have united him with God.

Now that is the key. That is absolutely necessary. That is why God was in a way powerless. In order to substantiate the world of love, there has to be a substantial being who can represent all that He has, all that He possesses. That person, that substantial being who is to represent God, must have within himself the abilities which God possesses. Within God came the ideals of love, so must the ideals of love be found inside mans heart, man's own self.

Within man's existence must come the ideals of God. That is the absolutely most important thing to know. Obscurity, uncertainty is an absolutely necessary part of creation. That is why it is so important. Understanding this is the key which is going to cut off all the garbage which lies out there and mocks God for being powerless. That is the key understanding which we must realize.

Understanding the whole creation concept will truly liberate us. Ultimately, we have to become Adam-like. Every individual must find within himself or herself the ideals of God. Why must I unite with Father? Why must I unite with True Parents? Why do I have to go through this kind of suffering course? Why is there such a hardship in every path that we take? What is the reason behind it?

You must find the answer within yourself. Why do I, Hyo Jin, have to unite with my Father? He never tells me why I should unite with him. I tell myself and try to give myself all the reasons why I should persevere onward and overcome all the difficulties. Why do I have to follow my Father? Why?

Because I love Father. If that is not good enough, then, I am a man. I must do something constructive with my life. I must do something. I cannot just live and die.

Even animals leave something behind, skin or meat, something that will benefit others. I'm much more than the animals. I'm mankind. What must I do? I want to leave something behind that will ultimately benefit mankind. What other reason do you need to unite with Father? You should give the reason to yourself. I love Father. I'm his son. I came from him. He's my origin. No matter how great I am, without his presence, without his love, without Father's love, parents love being consummated, I would never be here.

Knowing my origin is another reason for me to unite. Whatever the reason might be that will make you unite, you should give it to yourself The reason our church has not excelled is because we depended so much on others to inspire us. That is the wrong idea. That is the wrong concept. Soon or later, man must become responsible.

It is understandable that when you are a child the parents should rear you, take care of you and provide certain basic things. I understand that. In the same token, being in the position of a spiritual child, I can understand parents rearing you, giving you the necessary things for you to grow, develop and mature within the spiritual body. I can understand, but there comes a time when you have to take responsibility onto yourself.

You also must become Adam-like. In order for you to become perfected, you have to take the model of Adam and Eve and be of it. That is the key. We have denied ourselves up to now the freedom to be truly liberated. We denied it. We didn't want to grow up. We didn't want to take the responsibility onto ourselves.

You like independence. That means you have to take the responsibility into your hands, based on what is right. You must have the right concept. Based on a concept, things get manifested. For that reason, you must have the right concept. Based on what is right, you must manifest. You must act based on what is right.

Ultimately, every individual must go that course. Although we have this great understanding and great truth, we haven't propagated because we have failed to realize this key point, the importance of responsibility. That was the key. That was the key to liberating and perfecting Adam and Eve. Individuality. That is being involved in this creation process, becoming Godlike without His assistance.

That is the key. Understanding what is true and uniting with parents. You must find reason within yourself to unite. You must be responsible for yourself, for your own deeds, for your own being. You are an individual being. You are a unique and individual being. However, the way in which all this diversity, all of you, can ever have the possibility to unite comes only through the concept of True Parents. That is why we need True Parents. All these Godlike beings, how could they ever unite? How can we ever unite? We must have parents.

There might be some trouble within the family, among the brothers and sisters, but if there are solid and stable parents, the family will stay together. You must have that body in which all the different things can be harmonized. Everywhere you look, especially in the arts, the central theme is very important, a certain structural body which will unite all the different elements harmoniously.

In a way, the theme to represent humanity is True Parents. That is the body which encapsulates all the various, individual, distinctive elements, causing them to unite and be harmonious, creating a certain body of its own. That's a very important understanding that we all must share.

Knowing that, when you look at yourself, think about human history. There was always the importance of object figures. The relationship between subject and object has been stressed throughout history because restoration has been recreating what had been lost. It must be found. If the ideal union of man and woman was lost and there was a non-ideal world of man uniting with Satan, there has to be a substantial yearning or desire within to recreate ourselves, completely from scratch. That is also very important.

Many times Father talks about starting from the servant of servant's position ultimately climbing all the way up to the true son's position. What does that mean? Simply put, the servant of servant's position is the fallen position, the man who has fallen. Why? Angels are the servants of mankind. Because of the fall, you became the servant of servants, the object position. The fallen position itself is the servant of servant's position. From that position onward you must raise yourself all the way back to the true son's position.

When you first join the church what do you need to do? You must go through a seven year course of recreating the creation. Through fundraising you must restore the physical creation and you must have three spiritual children, restoring the position of the angels. In other words, you must recreate the original creation environment. After you join, ideally speaking, after you pass the seven year period, you are given the privilege to be blessed.

However, even after you are blessed, to fulfill the recreation ideal, and Father stressed this up to the 1800 couples, you should have up to seven years of separation. Why? First you must recreate the creation. Based on that seven years, you are blessed. You are given the right to be part of God's realm. Within that realm, within seven years, you must recreate yourself, recreate an ideal being. Than, after seven years of recreation of yourself, you can start recreating the family by starting the family at the end of the second seven year period.

The second trimester is totally dedicated to restoring yourself. The final trimester is dedicated to restoring the family. At least twenty-one years of condition to indemnify the family is necessary for you to become the true tribal messiah. That is why, up to now, all these Blessings represented certain symbolic positions which are necessary to unite all the different people, all the different tribes of the world. Every Blessing symbolized a stage leading up to the global foundation which is necessary for Heavenly Father and True Parents to ultimately unite the people of the world.

All these Blessings are absolutely necessary. The people who are involved in this recreation and restoration process must realize the importance of all these necessary conditions. Why do we stress these physical conditions so much? Because we need these kind of conditions. First, to separate from Satan, but that is not the end of it. You must sacrifice your physical body. You must have that physical sacrifice, the suffering of the body must be present in the course of restoration. You must lay that kind of condition in order to receive God.

This is based on the fall of man. God is a suffering God. You must inherit God. Absolutely. You also must be responsible for your historical failures. You have to be responsible. We are all connected. Based on the ideals of isolation and individuality, one will not take historical responsibility. However, you must understand that in order for us to create an ideal world of one global family, you must be responsible for the whole. You must be responsible for humanity.

I stressed in the beginning that you must become Adam-like. In other words, become Godlike. God is the representation of humanity. God represents everything in the creation. Starting from your individual self, you must erect yourself, magnify yourself, mature yourself in a manner such that you will ultimately encompass humanity, the universe, even God. That is your task.

This does not just end with your doing certain things and routine chores. That is not the end of your responsibility. Your responsibility ultimately lies in caring for humanity. You have to actually do something for the sake of humanity, for realizing the will of God.

Think about it. Starting from yourself, as an individual, realizing who you are takes time and dedication. It takes effort. That individual matures and gets married and has a family. Having a family and creating unity within that family also takes time. You have to go step and step, up and up. You have to ultimately put yourself in the position of responsibility that will make the difference on the world level.

How are you going to raise yourself to do that when you are always dwelling in the individual realm, always concerned for your individual well being? How are you ever going to reach that point when you will take responsibility for humanity? Only then are you a true representation of Adam. The perfection of man lies within becoming Adam-like, Eve-like. You must become True Parents yourself.

If your concern is still shallow, still dwindling and wallowing in your own individual hardships you have a long way to go! You cannot blame others for your own irresponsibility. You know that. We all know that. Everyone ultimately must fulfill these conditions. To become a true tribal messiah, at least 21 years of condition is necessary.

Some early blessed couples have failed. Many left the church. That is why we have reserves like you. It is not a joke. There are certain kinds of conditions, principled conditions, numerical conditions which are necessary to restore the world. Blessed couples are a symbolic base for each stage. The 124 couples represent the 120 nations of the world, Abel nations. The 430 couples represent restoration of Father's nation, of Israel [Korea]. After 430 years of captivity under the Egyptians, the Israelites were liberated by Moses. All these conditions are necessary. 777 is the number of liberation. It is representing three levels of perfection.

Having the primary nation, the Adam-like nation is important. Why? You must have Adam within the midst of humanity as the ideal model of God so that others can become like Adam, thus becoming like God. In the same way, you must have the Adam-like nation as a model for each of the nations of this world as an individual body. That is absolutely necessary. That is why all these conditions were set. Having a condition, a substantial foundation to offer to Heavenly Father, is necessary. Why? Because without that, God cannot intervene. God is, in a way, powerless. That is why all these things are necessary.

That is why we have you. After 2,000 couples, you felt that Father was becoming lenient. It is not that. It is that certain conditions were set. Father is giving you an opportunity, but these positions are necessary in restoring the world. Without that foundation of substance, you cannot separate from Satan. There is no way you can separate from Satan without it.

Uncertainty itself is part of the whole equation. We have to be responsible for ourselves in perfecting ourselves. We have to understand what God is desiring and what Father is expecting us to become and we have to become it. You must be responsible. All of this may be compact, but you don't need wordiness. Having said all this, what can we do to restore America?

I want to share with you what I believe. I want to give you my opinion. I want you to be involved and join with me in indulging in my own opinion. What is the most difficult problem we face in America? You know that we need membership. We need manpower. How can we increase membership in America? What's the biggest, most formidable enemy, the most formidable barrier which blocks us from fulfilling this goal?

Individualism! That is the Goliath that we are facing. Everybody is literally being raptured and tantalized by this Goliath. They are powerless when it comes to facing this Goliath. That is the most formidable thing that we are facing, individuality, individualism.

However, I see this, in a way, as our advantage. I don't see this individuality as a barrier impeding our progress. I see this as an opportunity. It is important that when we look at world affairs we note that the concept of democracy is now being propagated globally. It's affecting global affairs. The basis of democracy is individualism, giving freedom and liberty to each individual.

Each person has a certain authority and dominion over their own destiny. Based on self reliance, each one is in control of their own destiny. Fine. Great. I see this as a great hope. Why? As individualism persists and permeates every culture and region in the world, it will eventually neutralize all the traditional, ethnic, historical influences. It is a neutralizing agent.

Going back to the topic of the individual becoming responsible for himself in order to be ultimately perfected, then every man must have control over himself in order to be restored. The reason it has been so difficult in the past has been the traditional environments. Those environments influenced the individual not to take other courses other than what had been prescribed and allowed.

Environment. Tradition. This has been the great factor which has deterred mankind from separating from the satanic way of living. In the Middle East, up to just recently no other religion could even go there. If you were caught doing missionary work, you were put right away into prison. If you were caught somehow mocking or criticizing the king, the monarchy, you would be executed.

Under that circumstance, how can anyone expect mankind to change, when individuals must bring change within themselves in order for true restoration of humanity? In order to realize the true restoration of humanity, individuals must change. Millions of individuals must bring about change within themselves.

When the environment is forbidding you to change, how can you ever hope to change? You need to substantially change through this physical body, however physically you are being forbidden to do so, you are being suppressed. That is why individualism and democracy are spreading out on the global level at this time. It is a crucial happening. It must happen like this. This is a sign of the end of the world. This means that every individual of the world is literally taking control over the destiny of their lives. Every individual is now becoming the controller of their own destiny. This is the key. This is where we come in. This is where we come in with the word of God.

Having said that, the challenge is how to feed God's words to the people who are so strongly individualized. That is the key. That is why we must tap into what mankind naturally desires. Physically, spiritually, man desires happiness. The only way you can obtain spiritual happiness, eternal happiness is to unite with God. However, you can obtain physical happiness, temporary and very short lived happiness, by reciprocating with physical things. This is important. Because man desires happiness, having some kind of physical offering which will excite them and bring them happiness is the key to opening their hearts. That is why the cultural medium is so important. I'm not justifying anything. This is the truth. This is fact. This is reality. Satan realizes this. Based on giving what man desires, providing happiness to man, he is feeding his own ideals. That is where we are losing. We don't understand that. We have not realized the strategy of Satan, utilizing these things.

Music, graphic arts, literature, all these things bring us joy because different elements are harmonizing with one another. The whole concept of harmony brings us joy. Living with and reciprocating with those elements, man feels joy. Whether one perfects himself in the art of speaking, writing, making music or whatever, we must utilize those things which bring happiness to mankind in spreading the Word. That is the message. Why? Because words will change man. Based on words man was to act and substantiate, through his own reasoning manifest the ideals of God which were revealed in the Word.

Words. We must take this in the manner which fits the developmental phase of humanity. I have mentioned this before. In the formation stage man is physically oriented. Joy is derived from reciprocating with physical things. In the interim period [growth], it is more intellectual. It is like the whole creation itself. First the physical world was manifested, then individuals were erected on it. Ultimately that individual, being perfected centering on the will of God, understanding the ideals of God would unite with Heavenly Father.

In that sense, when you break down the developmental stages, the first stage is literally physical. You are enriched by physical things, by physical give and take. In the second stage you are more excited, more stimulated by intellectual things. You are more involved in doing intellectual things. It brings you greater fulfillment than just doing physical things. Using your mind, reasoning and utilizing your intellectuality brings you greater joy.

In the final stage, before you pass into the spiritual world, man gets more involved in internal aspects. Spiritual and internal things bring greater joy to mankind than the physical or intellectual things. As you get closer and closer to your death, people get involved with things that will satisfy them internally and spiritually.

Knowing this, in order to have dominion over the future we must focus on the formation and the growth stage. That is where Adam fell, on the growth stage. How do you expect the right growth period without formulating the right formation stage? You cannot expect that. You must focus on the formation stage as well as the growth stage.

When you go beyond a certain age, in your 20s and 30s, up to your 40s and 50s, you like complicated things. You like to get involved intellectually, but also man is an emotional being and in order to influence mankind, things have to be emotionally charged. It must have emotional quality. That is why communism could become so popular because it was based on these factual things, even if, it was all half-baked facts. These half-baked facts were based on emotionally charged data, emotionally charged facts. That is why it had an effect. That is why it so excited and stirred up man.

Anything, in order to truly influence you, has to be somehow emotionally packaged. If you are hearing it with words, how the words are formulated or how they are arranged with music, has to be done in a way that will provoke emotion. Otherwise, it will never change anyone, it will never let you influence another person. You must tap emotionally into that individual in order to influence that person.

If our objective is to influence the world by the ways of God, then we must tap into man's emotions. If you don't have the tools to stir up man's emotions, you are lost. Your endeavors will be futile, useless. American culture has really deteriorated, especially the young generation. Why? Because the pop culture literally thrives on the emotionality of man. I'm very disturbed about this reality. The only way we can truly have effect upon these things is to eventually have dominion over the emotional media. Father is now giving us the freedom to do it. In the past, because of the indemnity course, Father could not focus on these things.

Every step of the way, the subject and object union must be realized. When you look at it, these John the Baptist figures are necessary because when the messiah comes, he must unite the world. Based on unity of the family, on the foundation of substance at the family level realized by Abraham's family through Jacob, it took 2,000 years to prepare a tribal foundation -- John the Baptist's foundation. To purify and prepare the John the Baptist foundation took that long. Based on that foundation a tribe representing a "body of being," something pure could be formed.

Purity is another key, the separation from evil, separation from Satan. Considering humanity as a whole, the purest [representation of] humanity is the tribe. Not looking at individuals, but as a group of people, the purest level of humanity is the tribe. Purest meaning the integrity of the body, having certain integrity, certain characteristics. Having certain characteristics, as a body of humanity, the tribe is the basic form.

Based on that prepared foundation of tribe, Jesus came to unite with that central tribal body. Then he would unite all the other tribes of which the nation consisted. Then he would go to unite the nations of the world, making united nations, centered on Jesus. All these things, uniting the world had to happen within his lifetime. That is why all the preparation was necessary. Jesus came as the King of kings. The Bible said true things. Jesus came as the King of kings, but he would be rejected by the world. What is that?

In one sense the Bible tells us that he will be the King of kings and in the other sense the Bible tells us that he will be rejected by the world. If that position of John the Baptist failed to unite with Jesus, he would be rejected by the world. In other words, he would have to start from servant of servant's position and go back on up, taking the blunt end of all the suffering and overcoming it. He would have to restore the position that had already been prepared for him.

If John the Baptist would have united with Jesus, what would have happened? Obviously, Jesus would have become the King of kings. That is how it goes. Father also lost that John the Baptist position. They all failed. His history is filled with John the Baptist figures. There were so many religious groups prepared to receive Father, but they ultimately failed because of their individual interpretation of the revelation.

Selfishness got involved and perforated the revelation. You have to negate yourself. That is the key. Why? Because love is sacrifice. In order to obtain love you must have duality. There must be subject and object, just as the Word itself was the initial action of God in formulating the creation. That was the initial action. Based on that Word, if Adam would have united, that would have caused reaction. Cause and reaction, cause and reaction will give momentum to bring life to God's ideal world.

All that was lost. In becoming an individual being, Adam-like, you must understand the position of subjectivity as well as objectivity. Why? Because God is also like that. Although He is the almighty God, He is the object to love. He will not deviate from true love. That is why He suffers. Why would you suffer if you had the power to control all the situations in your life? Would you want to suffer? No, Even God, because he is object to love, is helpless. That understanding is the key.

Having subjectivity and objectivity perfected within yourself is the key to ultimately becoming an ideal person. I stress these positions for good reason. All these conditions are necessary in order for Father to be doing what he is doing now, to make all these foundations. All these conditions have to be restored, because ultimately he has to restore the world.

At every stage the foundation of substance has to be present. That is why Father had to start from the beginning. All that spiritual foundation was lost. When it is lost, you have to do it over, because inevitably God will perfect His ideal world. He has that absolute right. That is His prerogative. He has chosen the ideals of love and He is the almighty God, and He will perfect it. What makes it difficult is that man is also a key figure.

If man is not united with God, the realization of the perfection of creation will be delayed. However, it will happen! It just depends on man's yearning to perfect that ideal world, the ideals of God. It literally depends on our effort. God did His part and He has only given us a little bit to prove ourselves worthy to become Godlike. It is a little condition, but necessary.

He created everything, but you need one condition to create yourself based on the will of God, the ideals of God. Then, you can have everything. That is the condition. Many people reject the concept of restoring the world based on heavenly kingship, monarchism. This makes mankind unite, to become one. It makes us create a body. You can do anything efficiently, without any hassle. In democracy it is very difficult to unite. In the ideal world, there will be monarchism, but that monarchism will be based upon love and sacrifice. The king will not be thriving, indulging himself through manipulation at the expense of the people. He himself will invest for the sake of the people. Because of his presence and that body of monarchism, everybody will be united and everything will be invested for the sake of that body. Historically, even Satan tried to create his own ideal monarchy, united kingdoms. However, it was all based on selfishness. It is the selfishness which we must cut away.

Now, recapping what I said, there are certain conditions you must lay down in order for you to complete your mission of becoming a tribal messiah. Not everyone is given the position of tribal messiah, however you must take that responsibility onto yourself. Although you are not truly there at that position, you must have the understanding that "I will become the tribal messiah of my own tribe, starting from my own family. I will realize unity within myself, based on my spirit. I will unite with True Parents and I will unite the family centering on my Blessing, and I will unite my own families based on my family. I will set an example to the other members of my clan through my family."

You must have that kind of understanding. That is proliferation. That is how we multiply. That is the idea upon which we must focus. It is important that each person understand their individual responsibility. It must propagate. Just as True Parents are trying to unite the world, you must at least try to follow their footsteps by practicing Father's course, the model which Father has set, within your own life. That is the beginning.

There will come a time when all these foundations are ready to spread the word. The reason that Father is now giving you the freedom to go out and do whatever you want is to spread the Word. Of course it is within the context of the Principle, but he is giving us the freedom to choose certain tools by ourselves, based on what we are good at doing based on our own judgement.

He is giving us the freedom to go and choose the tool to propagate the message. Why? Because as Father told us, "I have completed the condition of indemnity. I have walked the course of the cross. I have laid forty years of pure indemnity condition and I have erected all the conditions that were lost. Now, I am giving you the right, based on the indemnity paid by me. I am giving you the freedom to take whatever you see fit in spreading the word. Do it. By all means, do it."

He is giving us that freedom. He restricted us in the past because we were still walking the course of indemnity and we had to suffer. Now, because of the indemnity that has been paid, we can go the course, the right course, the natural course in propagating the message. Now, we can control our environment. Father has paid the indemnity and we can expand our message into the environment. How can we do this? We have to work through all the cultural media.

Another problem in America is too much information. People are fed up hearing things, so the effect of the media is decreasing gradually. The effectiveness of media is limited to certain factions of society. It is not broad; it is not encompassing. It has an effect, but not over everybody, especially not over youth. Media alone has no power over kids, to the generation now growing up. We must have cultural media, arts and entertainment. Music is important because it literally carries words. Why is it so effective with young people? Because it is physical joy. Music itself is a physical phenomena. It is a harmonious physical phenomena and it gives us joy.

On top of that, we are literally giving a message. In a way, we are sugarcoating the medicine. Up to now, Satan has sugarcoated poison and has poisoned young kids. Now we have to take the same concept. He does it first because he is trying to create his own ideal world. All the dictators in the past have understood the art of propaganda. They understood how to affect mankind through emotionally charged things.

We have to utilize these things with true love and wisdom. If we don't use them, we will miss the boat. I'm not saying that music alone will do it. Certainly not! Music, literature, media, documentaries, drama, everything, all the arts, whatever. All these things have to be combined and create a cultural medium which can make an ideal environment.

That is my responsibility. I believe that this is my responsibility. I believe that all the foundations which Father has erected I must preserve and secure, and ultimately make grow, make prosper, based on Father's ideals. That means that I have to be in control of the environment. That is why these things are very, very important. If we don't have it, we can't do it. Somebody has to do it.

We are now trying to go public. On May 15th, our group, Ancestors, will be playing in Carnegie Hall. It is our major debut in public. It is our attempt to go out into the public domain. We can't just go out without having certain preparation. We have to be ready. In this particular instance, if you are using music as a tool to getting the message through, then you have to understand what the enemy is doing in respect to this particular strategy. You have to understand all the strategies that are utilized within this particular medium.

That is why preparing, knowing how to produce a good sound, having good players, competent players that can take on the responsibility of that body is essential. The band itself is a particular, unique body. That unique body must also be perfected. You cannot just go out based on some concept and expect to do it. No. You must have the perfected body. The body has to at least be able to carry out certain functions.

Of course, our purpose is to perfect ourselves in anything that we are involved with. We will perfect it, but you have to start somewhere. With this preparation we can attempt and we can initiate. I feel that now is the time to initiate. We have to go on. This is just the beginning in restoring this Satanic environment. This is the beginning, but we have to start. Well, now it is starting.

I feel excited. Of course, I am thinking about all the things that might happen going out in public. We will take a lot of flack from the Satanic world, however, we will overcome it. The truth will come through. The reason they denied and rejected Father and persecute us is because they do not know what we are all about. No one is giving out true information. Okay. We are now going to give the true information.

Give and take is very important. Having that physical body is very important, especially in the creation. Having that body which can unite with humanity is a very important thing because that itself is the beginning of change. There has to be union within the physical body. Change comes when things are physically united. In the same way, we have to link up physically with the outside people, encounter them.

That's why Joe looks the way he does. I want him to look as he does, just to initiate the bonding process. Then, afterwards, we will cut his hair off in front of everybody on national TV. We will tell them, "Hey, beauty does not lie on the cover." If they like Joe's music just because of they way he looks, what is that worth? If he looks different, that doesn't make his music different. It is what is inside that makes the person.

Just to make that kind of stupid symbolic point, we would do that. The thing is that we have to bond physically. There has to be bonding first in order for change to come. That is an important thing. Father is now giving us that freedom. Until now, because of the indemnity period, things had to be sacrificed. We couldn't go the natural way; we had to sacrifice. Now, because of the condition of indemnity, we can go the natural way.

What do you think? What are you going to do? Are you going to sit there and muddle, just wallow in your own self made misery? You have to help us, help me. You have to go and change something. Become a good speaker, a good writer, a good artist. I don't care what. Fuel is necessary, food is necessary. To become a good scientist or a good organizer of a business or whatever is important. However, the most important thing is spreading the Word. You think about it.

In your business, utilize your talent. You should excel in it and become respected by all your peers and use that as a means to deliver the Word! Whatever you do, find the way to deliver the word. You must perfect your body. Try to be best at everything, more than what we are given. We all have special talents, but more than what we are given, because we are left with the task of restoring humanity.

We are still left with the task of unification centering on True Parents. We have to expand ourselves, take up the greater burden, greater responsibility, greater hardship. Don't see it as a burden. It will only bring you glory, but don't do it for the sake of glory! You don't have to ask for what is due to you; it will come to you. Father has set the standard. You look at Father's standard and try to emulate that.

Do your best. Capture Father's essence. To understand Father, you have to sacrifice. You have to understand the meaning of sacrifice. Do your best. Sacrifice. Ideally speaking, do you think I should do all these things, erecting everything again from the beginning up? No. However, I'm not complaining because this is necessary. I don't blame you for it. I could. However, I feel it is much wiser for me not to.

If someone has to do it and I have chosen to do it, why should I complain? Why should I bicker? If I'm going to do it anyway, why should I put myself into that kind of self-made misery? Is it wise? No, it is not wise. You are in control of yourself, your own destiny. Why do you choose to do that? Why do you choose to bring misery to yourself? I don't understand that. I don't see the logic in it. It's foolish. I don't want to be a fool.

Father certainly did not teach me to become a foolish person. He is the wisest person that I know of throughout all of history. He certainly walked the course no matter how difficult it was, with gratitude. That is wisdom. Somebody had to restore humanity. Father was given that mission and he took it with a wise heart and a wise mind. He went even further. He transcended just "wisdom" into true loving, truly caring for humanity and concerned for God.

That is my next target. I might be wise now in relating to reality, but I truly have to have concern and love in everything that I do. The words that I am speaking here in front of you, I am doing it because someone has to do it. Sooner or later I will come here and speak to you and I will love to do it. Sooner or later. Honestly, I don't love it now. I'm doing it because I have to do it, and it's difficult because I have so many things that I have to be doing!

It's my problem, not your problem. I'm doing it because someone has to do it, but I will love it. I will love whatever I have to do. That is my ultimate goal. That is why I try to be as humble as I can. I'm pretty humble actually. I just speak loud. just because I speak loud does not mean I'm not humble. Because I criticize you does not mean I'm not humble. I'm just concerned. I'm concerned for Father and for our work. That is my way of being concerned. You understand that, right? [Yes.]

I try to be humble because if I'm in the position of a leader, I must keep humility. That's very important. If I stick myself above the rest, then only "my presence is the greatest." I'm not the only creation of God. If I'm to love Heavenly Father, I must love not just myself, but everything else, I have to realize the beauty in all the objects that I have connection with.

That is why I try to keep my humility and see the value, the "Abelness," in all the people with whom I associate. That's the model I keep for myself. That's the only way I can become a good leader. That's the only way I can truly possess all the creation. Is the whole creation me? No. A part of creation can be seen in you. Everybody shares in God's creation.

That's the concept that I try to develop within myself and mature in myself. I believe that it is right. I will try to do my best. Am I wrong? [No]. If I am, set me right, set me straight. That is why we have to work together. This opportunity is great. Father is giving us the freedom. I want you to become ready when the time comes for us to start broadcasting things through our own television network, our television station.

Bonding is important. Blond hair, blue eyed, brown hair, green eyed, purple eyed people, whatever, can appear and share the words of Father with the American public and the world for that matter. You can share your experiences, your wisdom, all these things. The time is coming, but we need to be prepared. We have to prepare ourselves for that time.

Go and master the art of speaking or writing or whatever. Excel in it. Do well. Try to become the best. Not for yourself, but for the sake of God. For the sake of God, for the sake of Father, I want to become the best. I don't give a hoot about all the glory. For me, it's not exciting as some of the other things that I enjoy. Authority is something I don't enjoy so much as other things. This is not my enjoyment, but I'm doing it for the sake of Father.

I truly love being outdoors and mingling with creation, chasing after a deer or something. Some people say, "Oh, that's the ultimate concept of controlling." I think, "Okay, okay, okay." That's not where I'm at. I just want to go and get it, and eat it. I just want to give that deer the opportunity to be a part of me. I feel great about that. That's how I see it and I truly enjoy it. Everything wants to become higher and higher. Then, I'm giving them that opportunity. I love animals.

The point is that I just want to do my best and bring joy and glory to Father. I know that I have my work cut out for me I have to work harder and harder. In the future there is so much that we have to do. I'm going to have the mind that is necessary to deal with that.

I'm going to accept the difficulties. I'm going to accept the concept of suffering. I will take Father's course as a model course and I will try to use Heavenly Father's course as a point of assessment of what is right or wrong in my life. I will cut through all the Satanic temptations and all his barriers which will lie ahead of me. I know it's inevitable because he will struggle to the end.

However, I will be victorious. As long as God has people who are willing to walk like Father there is no place here on earth for Satan. I know that and I absolutely believe that. That is the essence of the Principle. I will be the foundation of substance to God. I will be the foundation of substance of love. I will love my Father more than anybody. That's the kind of spirit I will indulge and grow in.

All the other thoughts aside, I will try my best. I just expect for you to do at least as much as I am. I won't ask for anything more. I will try my best to do more for Father. Let's all do it with that kind of understanding, that kind of love and dedication for Father and True Parents.

I know that I may have missed out on something, but I will catch it later. I will see you again. Thank you for coming. God bless you.

God's Will And Us

Hyo Jin Moon
January 13,1991
Belvedere, Tarrytown, NY

Good morning, everybody. Did you have a good God's Day celebration?

What I want to talk about today is "God's Will and Us." This is based on an excerpt from Father's speeches, Volume 32. I'm sure that all of you understand that when we talk about man's nature in general, we can see that man is inclined to think about himself -- almost without exception. No matter what the circumstance or occasion, when a specific issue arises, whatever the issue that one is dealing with, you confront that issue based on what you feel and what you think is necessary. So if this applies to the individual, it also applies on the family level, tribal level, society level, national level and ultimately, to the world level, except it is magnified.

There are many people in the world today and for the most part they are focused on themselves. Not many think about the society or the nation. Mainly they're focused on trying to further or better themselves in their family situation or in a very private setting, not in a public setting. However, there are people who will try to assert themselves by taking up social issues that somehow will better the national standing or that will alter the course of the world. All these efforts are motivated based upon what the individual feels and what he believes about certain things. So all these things stem from an individual's perspective.

So we realize that we think based on ourselves. How do we normally think when we are based on ourselves? Do we think based on what is right or do we think based upon what is wrong? Obviously, normally, people tend to think based upon what is right and, based upon what is right, you want to become center of that righteousness or that environment of what is right. So, if everyone is pursuing what is right in a given environment and is aspiring to do the same thing, then we should all be united. However, that's not the case or the reality. Look at the reality. Although we aspire to be righteous and try to become the focal point of that righteousness, we never make a clear division in reality. So based on that assumption, I want to address the topic of God's will and us.

What is God's will and us? Obviously the world is changing; all around us things are changing, nature is changing, circumstances are changing and our life is constantly changing and in motion. Based upon this changing environment, what are we to do? What is the purpose of living? What is God's will? Within this changing environment what is the ultimate goal that God wants to attain? We too change. Our physical body changes, our motto changes, our goal changes and certainly our perspective changes according to the need for one to pursue the goal. We're faced with all these changing environments all the time. What are we aspiring to, deep in our hearts? What are we searching for and what do we want inside? What does a couple want? What do a man and a woman want if they love their children, what do they want? As parents when they look at a child, what do they want? They want that relationship to last forever.

When I look at my children I want my children to love me as I love them and I want that loving atmosphere, that loving relationship to not end but go on forever and last forever. That's what I want. I want unchanging things in this changing environment. Deep in our hearts we want certain things too and we want to love certain things and have certain things and exchange certain things in this environment of love. However, that environment we do not wish to change -- we want that environment to exist forever.

If that is our desire, what do you think God's desire is? God also wants that kind of unchanging environment of love. That's what God wants. How do you go about attaining this unchanging environment in this changing world? When you look at history or even in nature there have been so many aspects of creation that we have never known because they have completely perished. Although they existed in the past they are completely extinct now. The only thing that transcended the tribulations of time has been man. We are unique because we are the only creatures that can have control over our destiny. We can certainly manipulate and have control over the environment. We are in a completely different position from all the other creatures that God created, so why do we persist when so many other creatures of God have perished? To attain love, that's why. This is the same yearning of God. God must have an object because He alone cannot attain love; He must have some kind of entity that can receive His love and at the same time return it. Certainly the person who wants to be the object of God must hold that possibility and potential if God's love is eternal, unbounded, and if love is what it's supposed to be. Based on his love, the objects who are to return and to reciprocate with God must possess that quality because if God is like that then so must be the object of God, who is absolutely necessary in realizing this love that God desires so badly.

So when we look at this situation, based upon this understanding, we have to look at ourselves. You should know better than anyone about your own self. You have to ask yourself where do I stand? Where is my position in terms of my relationship with God? Because you have to understand in order to reciprocate with God you must have God's intention and you must be in a position of God -- like God. You have to become a God-like person in order to reciprocate with God. So I'm asking you a question: are we in the position to receive love and to give love back to God? Are we God-like figures? Just to make a small comparison -- compare ourselves to what God has persevered with throughout history and compare yourself with the kind of perseverance that you have endured throughout your course in the church -- your course of aspiring towards ultimate truth and to live the life of faith. Compare yourself. Where do I stand? I don't have to be the judge. You be the judge of your own doing; nobody has to tell you anything. You can look at yourself.

Every Sunday you come here to hear certain words but ultimately you take these words and what you do with them is up to you. Can I force you to do certain things? No. Responsibility; you understand the importance of responsibility; when it comes to understanding the Principle, responsibility is the essence. Indemnity and responsibility have an absolute correlation but before we even address the issue of indemnity we talk about certain responsibilities that have been given to you by Father. Where do you stand? Can you compare yourself to God? Can you compare yourself to True Parents? The fall occurred because Adam and Eve could not put themselves in the position to understand and to receive God completely. They had abandoned God, in other words, in exchange for their "noble ideas," their wish, their will -- that's the fall -- God was completely abandoned. Now, if that is the fall and if we abandon God in our lives and if we cannot even put ourselves in the position to compare ourselves to God, can we truly say that we can give and take with God through His love? I'm talking about His love, not your love. The only way that you can reciprocate with God is with His love -- God's love, nothing else.

God's love has certain standards. Without meeting certain standards do you think it's possible to give and take with God and His love? If that is true there is no such thing as restoration and there is no such thing as the fall. What is the fall? God creates mankind and mankind does whatever it wishes and that is supposed to please God. Whatever he does, it will please God! Even if it meant doing very fallen things -- God should be pleased just by looking at their actions and just by having them around. Certainly you cannot exist with what is right and what is wrong. Good cannot co-exist with evil.

Talk about what God desires: harmony. I say harmony in general but what is this harmony and how do you go about attaining this harmony? What is the basis of the harmony when you look at your parents and when you look at your life? If I look at my life, I'm a living person and I understand all the joys and all the things that follow my lively hood. But when I look at myself -- then I have to consider my source. Ultimately I have to say that I exist because there was love between my parents. Without love between my parents I could never be here. So ultimately I have to say to myself, whether I like it or not, the origin of my existence lies within my parents. So if I'm to become and if I'm to understand what is eternal and what true love is and what the origin of my life stems from, I ultimately have to say it stems from God. So even yearning to achieve my ultimate desire, I have to say that it stems from God -- if I can find what my ultimate desire is. Many times our desire is changing, however, there is something deep inside that sooner or later everyone runs into, that you wish you could have done.

Everyone wants to achieve certain things. There are many people in the world who have achieved a great deal and they have acquired many things and many treasures and have degrees and have certain positions of which everyone is envious. But even those people come to consider at some point what they could have done to keep themselves everlasting and keep their name everlasting in a lofty place. So at that point they start to do many charitable things and start to give and suddenly they become so generous -- they start giving and giving. As they are accumulating all these things, they don't think about this, but once all these things are theirs they think about becoming very generous and charitable. All these great philanthropists advertise their good deeds. They do these things because they feel certain things and they want their names and they want the lofty things that they have acquired to linger on a little longer. Anyway, people can obviously see through all this garbage. They want to be eternal, in a sense, so they desperately try to do certain things to keep themselves in that eternal mode.

Why is it that only when you do certain things can you keep yourself in an eternal mode? It's because all the things stem from God and eternity also stems from God. To exist eternally you must have a certain kind of thought. In order to exist forever you must put yourself in a certain eternal form and eternal mode. You plant yourself in that eternal place. Men desperately try to acquire these things by somehow fabricating themselves. But they are not worthy, and they just mock that eternal form. You can see it through all this. Why? Because their heart is not in it. You have to put yourself in that place absolutely. When you donate a thousand dollars or twenty dollars to someone, do you want to care for that person or do you just do it out of your guilty conscience? You can ask any of these outside people. Do you think any of them do it out of true concern? Well, some might, but mostly out of a guilty conscience they do it. It's fake and they're certainly not close to the true heart of God. Do you think God is faking that He's caring about mankind? As an omnipresent God do you think He needs to fake? Is God faking this suffering over the restoration of mankind?

When it comes to restoration you have to understand the importance of indemnity. Even if you are one percent, deviant from being absolutely united with God you must pay indemnity to that degree. Do you know that? Union is absolute and mankind must absolutely unite with God. Do you understand what I am saying? The responsibility of Adam and Eve was to become absolutely one with God and to represent Heavenly Father here in this world. If you are to represent God then you must represent God every inch and every ounce without that it is not a representation. Why? It is because the ideal world exists within the domain of God. So there cannot be even a tiny amount of impurity within that domain of God. It has to be absolutely within that boundary. When you talk about even one percent of deviance from God -- you must pay the price and you must pay indemnity to lay the conditions to separate from Satan's ultimate claim. You must have no room whatsoever for satanic claim Do you understand what I'm saying? Any deviance falls under the category of satanic domain. So even if you have a minute amount of deviance then you are under satanic domain. If you are in that position, in order for you to completely purify yourself and be under God's domain you must lay a condition to purify, sanctify, and separate and sever that portion which belongs to the satanic domain. That is the reason for the absolute necessity of indemnity.

So look at yourself and at the way that you live. You should know. Do I live according to what has been prescribed? You know people do not like prescriptions, certainly in America, the land of the free. Do you think there is true freedom here? Do you think that this is a true society? Living without bounds? Freedom without bounds is a preamble to anarchy. Do you understand what I'm saying? You cannot have a society without certain bounds. There is no way that you can attain harmony within all this diversity without having form. You must have form. God's ideal nation has a certain form just as you have a certain form. You are the microcosm of the ideal world, so within your body and within your structure there are so many cells that are just like you. However, they are organized and structured in such a way that you have form and you can function as a being. Without this structure you cannot function as a human being.

If you want to attain the ideal world, the ideal must have a certain form. That is why law is necessary and that's why we have standards and direction. If that is not the case why would we need it? You could have whatever you wanted; you could go and rape or kill; you wouldn't have to work, you could just steal. What's wrong with that? "I want joy. I'll just lie down and have joy." Today this is American society and the problem is that the rest of the world is following. Why? because the standard of living is rising, and when we feel comfortable with our living situation, what do we look for? Something to make us happy. When you are having a difficult time and when everybody is having a difficult time then you can find happiness in menial things. Even the expression in the face of a child makes you happy but when you've got everything, you need more stimulation; you need more physical stimulation. Why? Because you are dull physically? No, it is because you are so over whelmed by this physicalness of things and physical richness that you need more and more to satisfy yourself. It's like a drug; the more a drug is consumed, the more it's needed to get the high. But when you do not have these things, even the small things make you happy.

So, how do you wake up a nation like America? Think about it. How do you wake up a nation like America? Father is inspiring so many different institutions; the television center, for example. Do you know why? As more and more people become wealthy, they have a higher social status and they want art. They love art and they would sell their souls for it. Also they need culture, so in order to just stimulate these people, you must be cultured and things have to be presented in a way even to communicate with them about things. Ultimately these people are completely focused and concentrated on the physical aspect of things and art provides joy -- physical joy. It's a physical phenomenon; you get joy from looking at these things. Why? Because, as I've said many times, art is the essence of ideal relationships. Do you understand what I'm saying? Harmonious relationship. That is the basis of art; whether it's movement or harmonization of colors or sounds -- whatever -- art is that. So, when men look at it even from the bottom of their guts they feel joy-physically they feel joy. Why? Because it is the manifestation of harmony within various things. So, because people are just completely focused on the physicalness of things they need physical things to be sensitized.

However, that's not the case in terms of our situation. This is because we understand that the importance of becoming like God is to have our spirit and mind together based on the center which is the spirit. Spiritual union between God and man is the basis on which we can obtain all these other joys. The spiritual joy of union with God must come first in order for us to claim even the physical joy of things through art and all these things which are physical. You should know where you stand. You should ask yourself: where do I stand in relation to Heavenly Father. Am I absolutely united? Is there absolutely no room for Satan's claim? Am I in that position? Certainly, you be the judge. Only then can you have a claim to all the other things. Even before that, you have to talk about the importance of what is needed in the course of restoration and why we need a condition of indemnity and what we are trying to fulfill.

What God has lost is the position -- the idealness of man. Without the ideal man God cannot realize His goal of creating the ideal world here upon this earth. The fall was caused by the deviant heart, so you must lay the condition to reverse that historical failure. As an individual, to receive God, you must restore that position: the historically failed position. This position must be restored or redeemed to its rightful position. That is why the condition of indemnity is necessary.

So when you talk about the condition of indemnity, what are we ultimately addressing as a Unification Church member, as a blessed member? Do you think the condition of indemnity is the complete fulfillment? It is only the beginning. What is your ultimate goal and responsibility? What has Father given you? The mission and role of Tribal Messiahship. Why is that important? Because it is physical restoration and your individual physical restoration must come through your own effort. Spiritually the foundation can be made to restore you completely in potential. However, even the blessing itself is a spiritual grafting process; you are being grafted spiritually to Father, you are not substantially being grafted into Father's lineage. Where is that? When you are laying certain indemnity conditions, what you are doing is laying the spiritual condition to restore yourself to the position where you can connect to Heavenly Father. You are only making the condition to make the path with God. Based on that foundation or bond with Heavenly Father you must lay certain substantial conditions afterwards and make some foundation of substance to ultimately receive Heavenly Father. Without a foundation of substance God has no business with you; God cannot mingle with you and mediate through you and intervene in your affairs. Without these things you cannot receive Heavenly Father. Your condition of indemnity is only the beginning. Until you lay a certain foundation of substance, how do you make a condition? Can you do it with a deviant heart? Or do you need to make yourself completely within the bounds of God? There has to be absolute union -- completely pure union with Heavenly Father. The relationship has to be pure. So when you are not in that position, it's up to you to make the condition which is necessary and which is an indemnity condition to purify that tainted portion of yourself. No one else can do it for you.

If the races are to become one based on True Parents, what must be done? There has to be a substantial connection to True Parents. Based on lineage there has to be a connection to Father. Father has said to the members that your complete salvation can only take place once you receive Father's lineage physically. Only through that. Not until you receive Father's lineage physically can you attain the position of complete restoration not until then. So how do you go about receiving Father's lineage completely and substantially? It comes through the blessing. Who gets to become part of Father's family? There is no criterion or restriction according to race -- ultimately everybody has to come. If we are to purify the lineage, through that foundation of purification laid by God's lineage on this earth to establish the ideal kingdom, no race should be excluded. There has to be some point in time when those people who represent such and such lineage must be engrafted into Father's lineage. How do you go about doing that? Through the blessing. That is why marriage is so sacred and that is why only through marriage and multiplication can we be fruitful. This is literally combining and becoming one, two people becoming one. Your children are the product of a mixture of two entities -- two different bodies and forms. That is how the ideal world is realized. Through the union between God and man, a certain product comes to be established. By the same token, within marriage that's how it happens; two different things come together based on marriage and they consummate their marriage and what do they get? They get children. That is the combination of two different entities and the product of union.

So in order for God to sanctify and purify all His lineage and make them one, it can only happen through the blessing. Have you physically received that blessing? No. Who can receive those blessings? Only people who have certain standards. It might be easier if I didn't say it like this, but actually I shouldn't be the one who is saying this in the first place. You are not the second generation. Every time I come here I have to complain. Why? Because you're not doing your job. Certainly there is a lot of blame to go around even with the people who raised me; many times I am in a position to raise them. While Father completely abandons everything, what are you doing? Are you accomplishing your portion of responsibility?

There is a book coming out soon called Inquisition and that is going to change a lot of things in America, because this is a tremendous research work about Father's court case based on facts. There is a footnote on almost every page. It is a thick book on Father's trial and the conspiracy which was going on in an effort to destroy Father in America. The person putting this work together has won the Peabody award and the Pulitzer prize. He is an investigative reporter and is a very respected person. He won the Pulitzer prize by finding all the corruption which exists in the Catholic church. He wanted to probe into the Unification Church and find out more about Father and what the controversy was all about. As he got into it, he completely changed. All these things you will know later on. But what I'm saying is, what are you doing? Why do we need positions like John the Baptist?

Can the Messiah just come and do His will? The foundation has to be prepared by the John the Baptist figure. This figure should be with True Parents and, ultimately, should be attending the ideal world of God. What did you do? Why does someone else, outside the church, have to come to do these things?

And you think you're doing great? I laugh at you. You think you can love with God's love? How do you receive God's love? Just by faking and coping with yourself and overcoming your suffering? not to mention suffering of the world, and suffering of God ultimately. You think you can receive God's love just by overcoming your difficulties. You are ultimately responsible for the lineage -- your lineage. The only way you can physically change and restore the lineage of the world is through blessing and you are representing the lineages. There has to be some source which Father can take as a pure complete package and complete representation of such and such lineage, and through blessing Father can graft that person, and through that person and the blessing that lineage can ultimately be substantially satisfied. That substantial condition is absolutely necessary in restoring anything, and when we're talking about the ideal world we're talking about lineage. There has to be foundation of substance on the level of lineage.

Not many people take it so seriously. Is it easy? No, it is difficult. Why did I have to make the documentary? You should have done that a long time ago. Why do I need to do it now? Why do I need to do that? Why do I need to make music? Who is going to take care of the cultural medium, because that is absolutely necessary -- that is the only way you can change the attitude that America is wallowing in. That is the only breaking point. Only through this can you at least get through the door. I don't want to do this. These are the lowest things. Father talks about indemnity. In order to substantially indemnify things you have to start from the lowest place. Where is the lowest place in this society? Nobody wants that. You're so prestigious you want the higher, loftier title. That's not where it's at.

Every time I go to Korea the kids are throwing away their books and running off to dance clubs. The reason is because their life is getting easier. They want joy and more joy. Within this joyous environment can they find God? No. No wonder that within the period of growth they are messed up, because that environment is completely controlled by Satan. What are you doing? That is common sense. Livelihood is going to get better as technology is shared by everyone, so how are you going to cope with that? How are you going to cope with man's basic need to search and seek for joy? You've got to utilize that point.

I don't know where you are coming from -- I really don't. Have you been supporting me? You just take it for granted. If you die where do you think you will be -- stealing from me? You are in the position to help as best you can. There are those who take apart the things that I give and try to make their own. I like that. That's the idea. Do that. Spend more time doing things that True Parents have something to do with. Take it and make it yours. Take the ideas from me and make them yours. When I look at Japanese people I really admire them. They really know to do that. Spend time with what is Father's, especially when it comes to His children. The reason that I wanted 120 songs is that I wanted at least that much for posterity. They can take it and they can try to make it better. Fine, spend time with what is Father's. While you're doing it you'll become closer. That's the idea. It's very simple, but it's working in every aspect of our livelihood. Why do we have factories making water and food and medicine? When you drink McCol you think about Father -- this is ours. That's the whole idea. Everything that we're involved with has to do with Father. That's the whole idea. That's when the restoration will take place.

This is why it is not an appropriate thing for me to talk about. Some people see it as boasting! I know that certain things go through your mind, but somebody has to say these things. I can understand, because your whole life you have been living in that kind of circumstance; every relationship has been hypocritical. It's difficult enough as it is, but you can't make the lives and circumstances of the second generation more difficult. Do you understand what rm. saying? That is not your responsibility. It's the opposite of your responsibility. I know it's difficult to go beyond our habitual livelihood, but you have to overcome it; no one can do it for you. What is my habitual livelihood? What do I still cling on to within my surroundings which ultimately hinders me from getting closer to Father? You have to ask that question to your own self and maybe if you have guts enough, maybe you can address it -- maybe -- if you really love Father the way you say you love Father.

I go and you don't see me for a week -- we don't see each other -- how do you connect when we're parted by this space and time? That's why we need prayer and that's why we need to connect heartistically. Don't rely solely on your eyes because it's not an ideal environment so you don't have an ideal assessment point. Given the circumstance, what you really need to focus on is spiritual standing. The time has come and you have to make that sacrifice; without sacrifice you cannot receive what you receive because you are ultimately going to become the representative of your lineage in relation to True Parents -- you're the ancestor -- you are in the ultimate messianic position representing your lineage -- you are the central figure! I mean, these are big things, but that's how it is -- you have to understand that, and you have to take it as seriously as Father has.

In a way you are very special people, because without any physical glitter or glamour you came, based on your intellect. You received Father and the Principle based on what was presented through words. Many of you have been motivated through spirit world but many of you, by your own accomplishments, have received Principle. So in a way you are a special group. How many people of that intellectual caliber exist in today's world? Not many. The general public thrives on physical stimulation, physical excitement, and is physically induced to change to certain ways. So in a way I give you that much credit, because with these ideal words you have been inspired. How many people can be inspired by just words alone, as you were? You think about that. That's the big problem. That is the big problem that we face when it comes to changing American society. How many people with words alone about the ideal world and the idealness of things, and about attaining the ideal world can truly find joy in today's American society? Think about it. That is why Father is preparing all these medium. OK? I'm not going say it every time because it sounds almost like a commercial you're looking at me like I'm doing a commercial! Anyway, what's wrong with that? Knuckleheads like you need things to be repeated.

All that aside, our responsibility is to ultimately connect to the lineage, Father's lineage. So in order to do that you have to be absolutely one with True Parents. OK? Take your mission seriously. Do your best. Try to extend yourself a little further. Every time you do that, it's difficult. The more you try to become public, the more and more tests and tribulations will come from Satan. That's obvious. So, if you don't like difficult challenges and overcoming hardship well you cannot become a true representative of God. All of you Americans have to take responsibility for America.

We're at a very crucial time. Father has been pouring out his heart, just on and on about the unification of Korea. Why is this necessary? Because Korea represents the third Israel. However, it is the second nation of God historically, in the course of restoration, which has always been the problem. Abel's position has always been the problem. Adam's family, Noah's family with Ham, Abraham's family with Isaac -- all these second people and second children, second position has always been the position in trouble. Why? Because it represents God in the course of restoration.

Only through Abel's position can God ultimately win the unity of Cain and attain the ideal subject position. God must have that foundation of substance. Without that position God cannot claim the physical world and cannot fulfill his ideal goal. So when you look at it, the second Israel might be represented by Christianity, because they have been striving to attain God's nation symbolically. It has never been substantiated in the physical domain, only in the spiritual domain. Is America God's nation? No. Does democracy belong to God? No. You co-exist with atheists and everyone; everything is allowed. It's a spiritual DMZ. Our ultimate goal is to attain the ideal world and the ideal nation. God's nation! Not like America. The second position is Abel's position, in terms of historical nations, because everything stems from the individual all the way on up to the national, and has to be in the substantial position to represent God. Always through the foundation of substance you can receive God's intervention. Only through that can God intervene in the affairs of man -- right? So, even on the national level, there has to be that condition. Korea stands in that position, in Abel's position historically speaking. That's why the unification of Korea is absolutely necessary because (I talked about it many times) God's nation is absolutely necessary just as an individual is absolutely necessary to consummate an ideal family. In order to consummate an ideal world amid the body of nations, there has to be an ideal nation representing Adam and one representing Eve.

That's why I talked about the reconciliation with Japanese people. Japanese people have done enough, but many people including Adam -- nation people take it for granted. Of course, what the Japanese have done historically is horrific; however, we know your responsibility. It's true -- how can you have a family without Eve? There are certain things that I don't want to say in front of you but I give credit where it's due. How do you think the American church is run? By you? No. You blame it on Japanese special environment. That's a cop out; you're trying to find an excuse. You've got to take responsibility for yourself but Japanese are doing their best to follow Fathers' course -- much better than you. So based on that I'm praising them. What is wrong with that? I have no guilt when I say it. Why would I need to flatter Japanese people? There is no need. I'm just giving the credit where it's due. At times like this when I'm talking about the unification of Korea, you have to try to unite more with the Adam and Eve nations -- together -- more unity. It's a very crucial time and we have to unite more seriously, from our heart. Since you are representing the archangel nation you have to support this task-that is your ideal role.

You're missing out on many things -- there are so many things that you are not doing. You have to be responsible for the American church ultimately. We've talked about the historical failure and the position of Japan. I can understand why they were put in a position like that. They had to take the responsibility for committing that kind of horrific crime and, based on that condition, change. They could change because they laid a condition of transformation, laid the condition to restore on a national level. So the 120th anniversary of the initiation of Japanese intrusion into Korean affairs will come in 1996. Father has been saying that between 1992 and the year 2000 we can think about the unification of Korea because 1992 is seven years after Danbury and 1996 is the 120th anniversary of Japanese domination. It was an open-door policy whereby the Korean government was forced to open their doors to Japan and that was the beginning of the Japanese ultimately trying to conquer the Korean national consciousness. So, in order to be Israel, you have to represent the period of the United Kingdom -- 120 years. Based on that, all the conditions to restore the nation have been laid. Based on the realization of that condition, if unity can be attained, God has all the conditions necessary to do His will. You should know that. Even if I do not come here -- you do not want to see me anyway because I always yell at you. I'm busy. Today I should be somewhere else. I'm dying these days -- I am like a creativity machine. I wish more of you could come and join the group (laughs). I choose to do it and I believe in it wholeheartedly, so if I don't do it I'm a failure. So I try to do my best.

So whatever makes you do certain things that are not prescribed -- cut it off, if it be your friends or certain items that make you deviate. Father has many friends, but he had to do away with all of them. Many times Heavenly Father took away his best friends, because when he was spending time with them, he was forgetting about God -- that's what happens. So anything that makes you forget about God, even though this is a very broad and strong statement -- cut it off. I know it's difficult and you know it's difficult but that's the only way that we can cope with this environment in order to ultimately overcome it. We cannot succumb to this environment. So anything that makes your feet heavy or drags your heart, cut it off, no matter what it takes. Can you do that? Please do that.

I hope I explained certain things that made sense to you today. Since we've got some wonderful speakers here and from now on you won't see me so often -- I'll try to come as much as I can OK? [Yes, applause.] I'm a human being, too. I'm pretty quick tempered. I'm sorry, but really you have to think about your responsibility and what is happening now. The true children are trying desperately, not just myself -- you have to think about that a little more seriously, because it's a serious thing when you think about your position and what you should have done. It's a very serious thing. You can't just take it lightly -- do you understand what I'm saying? It can become a death to you, so you can't really take that lightly. I'm letting you know that I'm sorry, but somebody has to let you know these things.

It is God's will to have the position of John the Baptist -- it had to be fulfilled, The Unification Church itself would not have been necessary if all the chosen people had received the guidance prepared by spirit world to receive Father. This non-member researched and gathered data about our church. I looked at it and I read it. It's substantial

enough to give you an overview of our church history. Now when I look at that, I ask myself what is this? So anybody who's thinking any other way: you really have to be ashamed of yourself -- an outside person who had nothing to do with you and has not received blessing knows more about Father's history than you, because you make the excuse that you "didn't receive funding." If you find certain reasons to excuse your position, then that is the lowest person in any man's book, certainly in God's eyes. So I willingly would not like to talk about these things, but to make you sometimes hurt, I've got to do that sometimes to be effective. I hate talking like this, I really do. I guess I need to do it more, as I speak in front of the public; that's a shame, but I guess I have to bear it. When it comes out, read the book and learn. It hurts, doesn't it? It hurts me. It should hurt you, too. We're talking about Father here. At times like that I really resent people of the past surrounding me at that kind of time, but I know I can't even think like that -- but that hurts. Anyway, whatever, Father is willing to forgive.

So take responsibility, take the blessing seriously and ultimately prepare yourself to receive Father's lineage, OK? You hate me, don't you? I make you hurt. So what -- someone has to poke you. A lot of people are doing that -- I just want to be part of the crowd.

Thank you have a nice week.
