The 3rd World Peace Tour, following on the victorious stops in Korea, Japan, the United States and Canada, shifted to Europe beginning with Austria. The Schengen ban against the entry of Rev. and Mrs. Moon does not apply to their family members, who flew in from Canada and New York, led by Hyun Jin Moon. After an overnight "red eye" flight from JFK International Airport in New York, they landed midmorning in Vienna, only to disperse immediately to cities throughout the nation. In Vienna, Dr. and Mrs. Yong Cheol Song, Dr. and Mrs. Joong Hyun Pak, Rev. Peter Zohrer, and Mr. Peter Haider welcomed and took good care of the delegation.

Concurrent peace tour events included the following cities and their main speaker:

Graz, Ji Yae Park
Linz, In Sup Pak
Wels, Shin Il Moon
Krems, Shin Sook Moon
Steyr, Shin Bok Hong
Innsbruck, Jin Man Kwak
Klagenfurt, Hirotaka Otsuka
Salzburg, Shiori Kunitoki

At three other locations in Vienna were Yeon Sun Yu, Jin Hwa Yoshida, and Young Jun Kim, bringing the total to twelve.

Mr. Haider was emcee for the main event. Native American musician and spiritual leader J. Reuben Silverbird gave welcoming remarks, lamenting the prejudicial barrier that was keeping Rev. and Mrs. Moon from entering Austria. He spoke of his joy that Hyun Jin Moon, the Founder's son, had come to Vienna. Entertainment was provided by The Vienna Peace Choir, comprised of second generation members associated with the UPF. Dr. Thomas Walsh led the Holy Wine ceremony and read the Chairman’s Address. Rev. and Mrs. Pak officiated at the Blessing.

Prior to giving the Founder's address, Hyun Jin had an opportunity to walk through the old city of Vienna, seeing palaces and gardens, monuments to Hapsburg Emperors and musical "emperors" like Mozart and Strauss. As he entered the stage, he began by telling the audience how much he liked Vienna, noting the 250th anniversary celebrating the genius and talent of Mozart. "God’s dream--and the Founder's dream--was a symphony of true love," he said, and that was what this message expresses. He spoke passionately and the audience was enthusiastic, warm-hearted and very receptive to the message.

That same evening reports came that city leaders were very inspired by events in each of their cities.

Hyun Jin Moon

August 7, at morning devotions, Hyun Jin shared with the people gathered that previously he hadn’t realized that Austrians create so much beautiful music.

The most beautiful music is a symphony bringing people from all races, nationalities and religions together in true love. This is the greatest music of all.

What was the dream that God had? It was the realization of the ideal family, from the time of Adam and Eve. God’s original ideal of history was to expand His family of true love. To expand the realm of cosmic peace. To build God’s kingdom, an original homeland, which would be a palace for the true family.

What do we mean by lineage? Lineage is the transfer from one generation to the next. This is seen in the "Four-Position Foundation." But for so many years the focus was on building the foundation to allow the age of the coming of the ideal world of love and peace. Beginning with 36 couples, they did not know this ideal; they were going through the restoration era. With the Coronation Ceremony of God, we start a new history that centers on the ideal family of God. Adam and Eve did not get kicked out, literally, but as their heart deviated from God, they naturally became distant. The parent/child relationship is essential in the universe, but it is based on true love and heart. False love -- self-centered love -- was the essence of the Fall of Man, and this created distance, which was reaped in the next generation through Cain and Abel.

Now is a time when the original ideal of God’s family must be realized. In three generations we have past, present and the future united, centered on God and true love.

Yesterday’s event was the spreading of God’s word and blessing through three generations, thus the realization of God’s dream can be realized in this age. Blessed central families will develop this pattern, so that in the future, we no longer will say "I am Austrian… German… French… American… Korean…" but we'll stand as citizens of God's ideal world of true love. The best form of marriage is inter-cultural exchange marriage… blending of the races. After two or three generations there is no distinction: one family under God. Yesterday was a truly historical and providential event. Now is the time for you to take ownership of the dream of God -- it has to be your dream. Inheritance is not an inheritance of property, position or power; it is to inherit the dream that God has.

To close, Hyun Jin sang a song that is appropriate to this tour, with Dr. Walsh and Young Jun as his backup singers.

In Vienna, when he was not leading the main event, HJN was continually, from morning to night, speaking to, guiding, and inspiring the leaders and members.

Hyun Jin Moon at Hoon Dok Hae on September 7

Before I go I want to say a few words. We don’t have much time this morning. I didn’t realize the Austrians create so much beautiful music. The most beautiful music of all is a symphony of true love, bringing together all people from all races, nationalities, religions, in true love. This is the greatest music of all.

What was the dream that God had? It was for the realization of the ideal family. From the time of Adam and Eve, God wanted to create the ideal family. The ideal that God wanted to substantiate through that family was not realized. The history we have now is not the history God wanted. The history of Israel even was not God’s ideal, but a result of the Fall. God’s original ideal of history was to expand his family of true love. To expand the realm of cosmic peace. To build God’s kingdom. The ideal of God’s kingdom was an original homeland, this was to be a palace of the true family.

The tree of life and the tree of knowledge were in the garden. The Tree of Knowledge can be either good or evil, depending on the quality of love. God’s essence is true love. God created humanity because of his own absolute faith, love and obedience toward his ideal of creation. It Adam and Eve had reciprocated that love, they would have risen to the level of individual perfection … a level of perfection was a beginning point for God to dwell with them and build on that foundation. On the foundation of their perfection, God would bless them in marriage and they would multiply and have dominion.

What do we mean by lineage? Transfer from one generation to the next. This is seen in the Four Position Foundation. But for so many, beginning with 36 couples, we did not know this ideal so well. The focus was on building the foundation to allow the age of Cheon Il Guk. We came through the restoration era. With the Coronation Ceremony of God, we start a new history. This history centers on the ideal family of God.

Adam and Eve did not get kicked out, but as their heart deviated from God, they naturally became distant. The parent child relationship is to essential in all the universe, but is based on true love and heart. The essence of the Fall was rooted in false love, self-centered love, and this created distance. Satan, who was the helper of God, initiated this taint in Adam and Eve.

Therefore in the next generation of Adam and Eve, we sea the fruit, reaping what was sown, and we see Cain kill Abel.

This is a time when the original ideal of God’s family must be realized. As we look at 3 generations of God’s family, we see this coming to be. In three generations we have past, present and the future united. As these three are centered on God and true love.

Yesterday’s event was the spreading of God’s word and blessing through 3 generations. This is historical, providential. Thus the realization of God’s dream can be realized in this age.

Each of you central Blessed families must also follow this model. As Austrian Blessed Central Families you develop this pattern. In the future we will no longer think I am Austrian, German, French, American, or Korea … but as citizens of Cheon Il Guk. Amen? No man?

I see 2nd generation here. The best form of marriage or Blessing is inter-cultural exchange marriage, blending of the races. Within one two or three generations there is no distinction, one family under God.

Each Blessed family should seek a daughter-in-law or son-in-law from every continent. Carry on the tradition.

Yesterday was a truly historical and providential event. Now is the time for you to take ownership of the dream of God. That has to be your dream. Inheritance is not an inheritance of property, position or power, is to inherit the dream that God had. As Blessed Central Families, extended family members of True Family, you must carry on God’s dream, True Parents' dream.

To close, I want to sing a song that is appropriate to this tour. It’s entitled, "If I Can Dream, Tom, Young Jun these are my backup singers … come on up.?

59. Become the Owners of the Dream

January 30, 2020

Hyun Jin Moon
September 4, 2006
Washington, DC
Personal notes taken by Angelika Selle

After the Hoon Dok Hae Readings

This is a time of dramatic change. Soon a Palace of Peace will be erected in Switzerland. How can we live to become God's partner? Through living for the sake of others, through the spirit of public service, giving joyfully, voluntarily and sacrificially.

This is the time to digest and win the Cain realm with love. God will no longer tolerate separation and division. There is no perfection in ignorance. It is time to attend God.

Was yesterday was a tremendous victory? (Yes) Why? God will remember that event for all eternity. What was the dream God had? An ideal family of His lineage. Adam and Eve falling away from God is figuratively to be understood. Their love centered on Satan. God's essence is true love, and it was that innate quality that initiated creation, it was the impulse to create true love.

The Fall was the Fall because God's children should have inherited this love of God. The worst part of the Fall was that Adam and Eve lost the connection to God's essence and heart. Once they would have reached absolute vertical love, perfected love, with Him, they could have been the absolute love partner with God. But instead they inherited self-centered love. That self-centered love prevented them from inheriting God's love. Love is the most powerful force, and Satan used their love.

What is the difference between true love and false love? What is true love? True love focuses on uplifting the whole, not one individual. God's nature (character) is true love. Good and evil are determined by whether the motivation is selfish or unselfish. The Original Sin affected everyone. Thus, most importantly, Adam and Eve separated from God in heart and nature (character) - they became strangers to God and strangers to each other. The spirit of that kind of love was then expressed and passed on to their children. They were planting seeds of conflict among brothers throughout history. The structure of the family was not centered on God but on Satan.

God, through his plan of restoration, had to reverse it. His parental love is the impulse behind this history of restoration. The prodigal son story in the Bible is a story of hope. Concerning our movement, there is a need to live a certain way in the age of Cheon Il Guk - according to the original intention. That's why we need CHANGE.

What is the role of Adam? To fulfill the dream of God. The role of the Second Adam could not be fulfilled. Why? Because Jesus could not make God's dream of a family a reality with 3 generations living as one. That is what we call the Palace. Three generations represent the past, present and future - that is, all of humanity. When 3 generations of God's lineage work as one, God can settle on the Earth and the Tree of Life can spread to the world, and all can be engrafted as His extended family. That is the core meaning of this age.

At this time, 3 generations of the True Family are proclaiming this simple message, but a message with profound roots! The spirit world is rejoicing at this time, because it is the AGE OF LIBERATION, when the chains of fallen history are being broken on the Earth and in the spirit world.

It is the time to intimately knowing and being a member of His family. The age of damnation is lifted away and the age of HOPE FOR ALL, the time of liberation and hope for humanity has come.

On August 20, 1985 my Father was released from Danbury prison and on October 14, 1950 he was liberated from Heung Nam Prison in North Korea. He had to go there because of Christianity not accepting him. The 40-city tour is occurring during this time period to symbolically release Father from Danbury and from Hung Nam.

Now the dream of God is being substantiated.

What does it mean to be a blessed central family at this time?

First we need to shed all baggage and liberate yourself. Be like children again. Jesus said in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, you need to become like children.

Imagine if there was a Muslim and a Jewish boy playing in a sandbox, would they kill each other? No they probably would play together. Only later if they learn all about the fallen history, and what injustices their parents and people have done to each other they change. When seeds of hatred are planted in their hearts, they begin to see each other as enemies. Truly the history began from the fall.

Now we need to become like a child again and plant and nourish the original seed in you, which is True Love, not bitterness, but love and living for the sake of others. Jesus' ministry was one of True Love. In his Sermon on the Mount he must have ticked off many of the Jewish leaders, who believed in an eye for an eye. God was preparing the Israelites not for themselves, but for the coming of His son. Jesus came in order to plant True Love.

All blessed children are born without original sin, but who teaches them? Since True Parents invested in us through practicing witnessing and fundraising, learning to live for others on the frontline, we now need to in calculate living for others as well. How does one do that?

I accompanied True Mother for half of the world tour. It is a grueling experience.(HJN explains the schedule going from city to city and because of time zone differences getting almost no sleep) There is no way but to feel constantly fatigued. Now the entire family is helping. You know what it means when we all have to drop everything just to do this tour? I hope that the second generation as they get blessed will inherit that mantle of spreading the word. Our True Parents are creating a model.

What is the meaning of the blessing? Just to keep purity. It is more than that! It means the inheritance of truth as the Able and the root of True Love. It means being loyal to fulfill the expectations of God, becoming the inheritors to True Father (?) we need to inherit God's dream and have a mission focus. This is the time when not only God's dream is being realized on earth, but also our movement should be rejuvenated with a new sense of mission extending the Blessing as filial sons and daughters of God.

Again we all need to shed our past and become a teenager in spirit. Remember the spirit when you dedicated your life to God and True Parents, now we need to rededicated ourselves not as followers but as an OWNER OF GOD'S DREAM. We need to find our original self.

I am and educator of young people not only in age but young people in heart. What form of spirit do you want to take into the spirit world? Old and depressed or full of hope, vigor, inspiration and determination, absolutely committed.

Become like a youthful, vibrant, hopeful teenager. This is a time of your life to mold your spirit, it begins in your heart, not in your mind! It beings in your HEART! That is where the impulse of love lies. There are some children who are old in spirit.

Satan is working tirelessly to bring this world and the people down. Based on this message we will make young people become truly young people, leaders who have hope and inspiration. When that happens, then the second generation will secure the future. Let us educate the next generation to become the owner of this vision

As parents even, become the owner of junior STF! Education should start in Kindergarten, then the children will not go in the wrong direction. Then they can join the youth federation. Your whole life could be a mission-focused life to build God's dream, even if it means to make a tremendous sacrifice. It is easy to say "yes" to sacrifice, but are you willing to become a missionary let's say in the 3rd world country, where there are no 7/11. Living in a hut and ministering to people with lots of boils and disease. But it is beautiful to invest a chunk of your youth this way.

When you think what is truly precious over time it is living and sacrificing for the sake of others. Especially our Japanese members have sacrificed and given so much over the years. But right now, in Japan, many are in tears of joy, because 3 members of the True Family were blessed with Japanese spouses. [Pointing out the tremendous blessing that comes from genuine sacrifice] In your short time on earth, build up your eternal heart. It is a great blessing to sacrifice.

I became known as a brainwasher myself, but in reality this has nothing to do with brain washing, but rather "heart-washing". It is because you felt the heart of God is why you do things. That makes your connection to god and True Parents.

Thus rejoice in the culture of heart.

Be in a constant mode of witnessing. This movement at this time has tremendous hope. This is a new age! Become the owners of it!

At the breakfast table

There was a very relaxed atmosphere in the room when Hyun Jin Nim came in and we all began to eat after a prayer by Rev. Francis. Hyun Jin Nim then asked Rev. Francis to introduce each person at the table. After that he asked what is happening within the DC church. Rev. Francis explained our local churches situations and how we are too big as a community for the Col. Rd church and that we have 4 area churches. Hyun Jin Nim then began to comment. He said that in too large of an organization/church people can't feel connected. Fathers vision is all BCF establish Hoon Dok Family Churches. This way each member and family can be ministered to directly by each other.

In your HDFC you can read this speech and give life to your neighbors. How about doing your own speaking tour after ours is finished, for example in the Christian Churches. Get the ministers to read it and to teach the DP. I always believe that after we educate Christian churches they will teach the young people in this nation and the nation will change. It is the time of new beginnings. It is the time for churches and their congregations to go beyond denomination and work together and spread the vision.

ACLC should not just reach out to Christians but to people of all faiths, to let them see that because of our common cause (God) we are all brothers and sisters) Doctrines will always separate them, but our vision will liberate even religion.

Everyone is searching for the/an ideal. THIS IS A NEW TIME! This is the time we need to "get on message and stay on message!" (Getting the message / vision out) our message is that all religions have a common origin, god. And all religions emphasize the same things to live for the sake of others. Peace can only come when there are ideal families centered on God who is the root for the palace of peace. The future is sovereignty governed by the Divine law, Not God will be the judge, but each individual is judged by his or her own conscience. Who can argue with that?

When we spread this simple message, then the doors open up and the light shines. It will bring about the unity of Christianity and all world religions.

The main problem or lack in all religions is that they have lost (don't know about) the vertical axis: God's original idea.

All of our blessed central families need to take ownership of that vision, make it yours, and spread it to the world. Shed all baggage and spread this message.

2006 is the year of RE-Creation of a new history. 2007 should be the year of the Sabbath, when God rests. Father's mind set right now is that he would like to finish the providence within this year. That's his heart. In 2008 is his 88th birthday. Three numbers eight are in line, which signifies a new beginning. I hope that within these two years our movement will take ownership, then the 2008 Blessing will rock the fundamentals of the world

By then our children and grandchildren would take over. We need to teach the through example. Therefore it is good to become like a teenager again. Naturally our original mind wants to go where there is youth, inspiration and energy. All get attracted to that kind of spirit.

Do you know who is the #1 teenager in spirit? True Father himself! He is 86 years old but in his spirit he is like a young teenager, always excited and hopeful. I have never seen anyone like that! Even God is attracted to him. God is the eternal optimist about human salvation

A spiritual God-centered person therefore embodies the characteristics of God and carries that optimism that God has. Centering on True Life, love and lineage salvation of humankind will naturally come.

Father one time told me, don't be afraid of obstacles. Because the higher you go, the harder you fall down. Father fell badly many times himself. He said to me: "Every time God promised me a great blessing, he would send me to prison. The reason for that is that he needed to accomplish a victory in the most difficult situation no one could accuse him. That has been God's strategy in order to move the history of restoration. There cannot be any room for accusation. During those difficult times Father was comforted by the immense love of God in solace.

Do you know that our movement was the reason God's providence could move forward? We have gone through so much! Now it is time to go higher, but those who want to be lifted up higher need to cut off [from Satan's ways] There is deep meaning in the word indemnity,

At this point I asked Hyun Jin Nim: "What is the meaning of indemnity for this time and age?" He replied. Everyone still has to fulfill their 5% responsibility on the individual level, family level and tribal level. That's what Tribal Messiah means, taking ownership [also of indemnity] We need to educate others through our example.

There must be an experiential component of education as well as teaching content. The most important institution is the family. When something goes wrong and children have hurtful experiences of heart, the family can heal their heart.

How do you understand god? Nothing in the providence of restoration is rational. Theologians try to reason and explain things, but they cannot. Only through the realm of heart not theology can we understand God.

Also in order to understand about True Father can we just observe him? No way? Only through a relationship of heart can we comprehend him better.

Don't be afraid of challenge. We need challenge to increase our determination and break through any given situation. Challenge is not bad it is good! Think about Michael Jordan who is a rather short person for playing basket ball. But that didn't discourage him from practicing and from working hard, and he became a world champion.

The same is true for Bill Gates. He dropped out of Harvard University and his father was very upset, but that didn't stop him from fiddling around with computers it was his passion. So now he is a billionaire the richest dropout in America through his passion his computers.

When I applied for Harvard University, I had to fill out a questionnaire. One of the first questions in there was: What was the failure you learned from the most?

All great people experience failure at one point or another and overcome it. There is tremendous hope for all of us at this time! Let us take ownership of the DREAM!

58. Hyun Jin Nim's Speech at Chungseong Wanglim Palace

Chung Pyung, Korea

Hyun JIn Nim giving a speech in the main hall of Chungseong Wanglim Palace, Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center, June 8, 2006.

June 8, 2006 we were again blessed with another speech from the True Children, from 10:13 a.m. Hyun Jin Nim spoke to the members in the main hall of Chungseong Wanglim Palace (Heavenly Palace), Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center, for around 2 hours as 'Cheon Il Guk Citizens' Education'.

After the opening prayer from Rev. Yeong-seok Song, vice president of FFWPU Korea, Hyun Jin Nim and his family entered the stage of the main hall. They were greeted on to the stage by loud cheering and applause by the members whom filled up the main hall. Through out the speech, Hyun Jin Nim smiled and laughed with the members. Although there was laughter in between his speech he also gave strong messages to the members.

Which is the most important chapter in the Divine Principle? I always get an answer that Chapter 2 is the most important. However, I think differently. I believe that Chapter 1 is the important chapter that we must know off our heart. Chapter 2 is about the Human Fall, which was a triggered by Satan. Chapter 1 is about the reason why God created human. Cheon Il Guk is the Era of God's culture. We must know what God wants. We must know his dreams and his wish. We have to be centered on God not on Satan, that's why I feel that Chapter 1's content is really important.

Then what is God's wish and dream? He wishes to establish True Family, centering on True Love, True Life, and True Lineage. Only through the establishment of a True Family can you feel God's love."

In between his speech Hyun Jin Nim was asked strongly by the members to sing a song. He then kindly sang two songs. First he sang a song, which is, sung frequently by American members. Hyun Jin Nim explained that whenever the members in America face great problems they sing this song to bring their spirits up. The title is If I Can Dream.

Then he continued with a Korean song. He explained that whenever he visited Chung Pyung since he was a toddler people was singing this song. Therefore, whenever he comes back this song always comes to his mind. The song was Nim-gwa Hamkke (Together with my lover). With the Korean song, Hyun Jin Nim instructed the members to stand up and sing the song with him.

Then he continued with his speech.

We must center on True Love. At the moment we are centering on Satan's love, which is False Love. False Love is a self-centered love. We must live for the sake of others, this is True Love. This is God's culture and this is the culture of Cheon Il Guk.

When you want to know about another person you need to connect through heart. Where is the school that teaches you this? It's in the family. True Parents has repeatedly emphasized the importance of a family. That's why we must create a True Family to become filial sons and daughters of Heavenly Father and establish God's wishes and dreams.

Hyun Jin Nim gave a really powerful speech that touched and reminded all the members' hearts. After the speech by Hyun Jin Nim there were 4 cheers of Eok-manse by Rev. Byeong-u Kim, Asia Continental Director.

Hyun Jin Nim said: "Congratulations on a great victory yesterday. How much victory was it? The future is what you make it, if you really inherit and own the message from yesterday. We can be the authors of that future. It depends on how you invest. I like to speak to younger people because they dream more, since they have more time remaining in their lives. Therefore the dreams they have are related to a longer remaining life span. My father is the youngest person I know and has the greatest dream. What is the greatest dream? It is the dream that God had from the beginning of time. Will you take on God's dream?" Then he sang a song.
