Note: These notes are taken from a Peace TV video clip. They cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication of True Father's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message. -- Rev. Katsumi Kambashi
Mrs. McDevitt read Father's speech titled "The Path We Go" from his speech book #41.
"This time what did we do in Korea? ('Korean National Rally to Support the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind') The rally is on a national level. Without going through the national process, we can't reach a worldwide level. Without the process on a worldwide level, there can't be true love. Without true love, there can't be True Parents."
"I don't think I'm the origin of the Unification Church. The bottom line is everybody, no matter how they are famous, smart, rich, needs the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind. I have been in my path against persecution."
"The conclusion is nothing but 'Heaven, Earth, and Humankind.' You should know this."
"What is religion? For whom does it exist? For the sake of humankind? After having examined everything, my ultimate conclusion was 'the settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.' Then everything is OK. Which comes first, God or the environment for Him? After God appears, then comes the environment. The environment can't make God."
(Indicating his calligraphy hung on the wall, which was the 2011 motto) "People didn't know there is the 'Parents of Heavenly Heart.' Then 'Children in Harmony on Earth.' On earth heavenly parents appear (but) there is no children in harmony on earth (yet). Then the 'Settlement with the Best Ending.' This means the settlement is upside down. This is true. There must be parents. (Then he read the calligraphy. Please see the attachment)
"(Settlement of the True Parents) means they stand on the unified point of east, west, north and south. '천정 / Heavenly heart,' which transcends the past, present and the future, creates the cosmos of freedom where God is intoxicated with such a heart and doesn't feel shameful with no clothes on. That is the Kingdom of Heaven on earth."
"The bottom line is the settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, and this means everything has been done. There is nothing else more than that." (Then Father read his calligraphy again.)
Note:
Please read the following Father's words from the speech given in 1985, which explain the essence of Christianity and also show Father's consistency in teaching.
"The reason why the Bible is amazing among numerous religious teachings is because firstly it says God is Father of all humankind, which is the fountain of Christian thought. Secondly, in the New Testament, it says Jesus is the only-begotten Sun of God. What the only-begotten Sun means the son who can receive Heavenly Father's love for the first time in history. Then thirdly Christianity has the idea of bride and groom. Jesus is the only-begotten Son but he came as a groom and so he needs a bride. As the only-begotten Son, he needs the only-begotten Daughter. The day of the feast for the bride and the groom means the day God's love appears. But this feast of the wedding was lost at the Garden of Eden, which God has been looking for throughout the history. Therefore during the Last Days of the world, this wedding ceremony must be restored." (Friday, Oct. 4, 1985, Belvedere Training Center)
