Note: (These notes are taken from a simultaneous translation. Simultaneous translation is done in summary form and depends greatly on the translator's ability to communicate the essence of the message. These cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication on Rev. Moon's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message.)
You must understand that my teaching on the spirit world is not a fantasy. The spirit world is a mysterious and fascinating world. Everything is interconnected, like the nervous system. It is such a vast world, and everything is connected to God's heart. The spirit world is a huge system of giving and receiving. There is endless opportunity to give and receive. You can give, give and give, and you can receive, receive and receive.
You cannot assume that you can easily go to heaven. If you think that you are going to heaven for your own sake, you cannot go there. The most important thing is to love God with all our heart, mind and soul. The second commandment is to love our neighbor as ourselves. Many Christians believe that they will go to heaven just by believing in Jesus. However, to fulfill this you must be an object partner to Jesus and live in harmony with the commandments of God.
Do you think that Rev. Moon is smart? Those who thought I was foolish have faded away, but my words remain. Now they are being understood more clearly, and people are recognizing their truth. The Cheong Seong Gyeong is the Heavenly Scripture.
There is a big gap between all of you and me, and I am trying to close that gap. Absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience are most important. With the attitude to invest, invest and invest, we can realize absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. We need to experience things in our hearts. Heartistic experiences are the most important things.
Today is June 20, so I wanted to finish Hoon Dok Hae at 6:20. The number 20 is 2 times 10.
Think about America and pray sincerely for this nation, linking God, True Parents, America and yourself. Believe in True Parents, and from this day can come great blessing and the full liberation of heaven and earth. Be fully attuned to God's providence.
Now all the Japanese women in our movement between the ages of 57 and 63 should be asked to travel throughout the world in order to contact leaders and educate them.
