In the universe, for everything to exist, there must be power, or energy, or force. In order to have power or energy, there must be action. Without action, there is no energy generated.
In order to do an action, there must be an object. Without an object, no action can take place. Without having an object, no action can be possible, and action can never occur. If you talk without having any object which listens, then you are quite abnormal. Even God, if He talks, laughs and does things without having an object, then He is quite abnormal. Also, no actions occur without being preceded by purpose. In order to have action, purpose must precede. Many of you walk early in the morning to come here, and when you do that, you have a purpose in your mind. If you knew that you were going to lose something, then the action would never really materialize, you would never move for any further action. Action is always done between two elements, subject and object, by having a reciprocal relationship between the two. And there is a preceding purpose, a common purpose of the two.
Every day, in the streets here, there are multitudes of people walking and passing by, and none of those people are there without any purpose or are there to lose something. Between two people, this principle works in the same way; if they feel that they are not gaining anything, then two people never give and take and talk in conversation. Initially, they may start some give and take action, but they discover that they are not gaining anything, and the conversation will decrease and end. The marriage between man and woman works on the same principle.
If they felt that they would lose by the marriage, they would not go through with it. To unite between subject and object, there must be a guarantee of the convergence of common purpose; in other words, there must be a guarantee of common purpose of good or benefit; and also that good or benefit must be a fasting one, not just temporary. If things decrease through give and take action, instead of increasing, then this whole universe cannot exist, and cannot be created to begin with. There was always a greater purpose when there was give and take action; therefore, through give and take action, things increase. Then through additional, further give and take action, things increase further, and thus productivity occurs. In a chemical laboratory at school, there were and there are many chemical elements, and no matter how you thought certain elements to unite, they do not unless they establish give and take action. You cannot force them to give and take. Because they know that they lose by uniting between them, they do not. Therefore, they cannot form a subject and object relationship. Elements always unite when they have a preceding, lasting purpose, an unchanging purpose.
Atoms, even one single atom, has an electron and a neutron, the electron going around the neutron in a give and take relationship. When they have a complete relationship, in other words, a perfected give and take, then there is a complete, eternal purpose there, and the action lasts eternally.
Perfected plus (+) and perfected minus (-) are preceded by the perfected purpose. Therefore, give and take action is eternal.
If you recognize this theory, then the theory of evolution becomes meaningless. The Communist theory of dialectic materialism also becomes meaningless. To make evolution occur, two things are absolutely necessary. One: the purpose must precede, must come first. Second: greater energy must be added to it, so as to push it into higher creation. No action occurs all by itself, and no action occurs without having a relationship between subject and object. Since primitive elements, the very primitive creation, cannot have its own purpose, it cannot imagine its higher being.
Also it cannot regenerate, it has no power to generate the energy to achieve its higher purpose. If there is give and take relationship between subject and object, it is up to a certain goal, a certain purpose; in other words, it started from its goal and purpose. Then the give and take action only thrusts it to reach that goal and cannot move any further without having any further action.
Do you have the characteristic to like everything? No, you do not. You have certain, specific characteristics. Certain things fit into your character and your talents. Then, you want to do these things more and further develop them. You like them so much that you keep doing them.
Dialectic Materialism, which opposes two elements by fighting between them and creating a new creation, is utterly not true; it is a false theory. Between two conflicting elements fighting each other, do you think you can expect that a new, higher, greater production is feasible? It may fit, owing to the history of fallen man -- the history of war -- that the stronger always takes the weaker by force. But even in war, the person who waged the war is expecting a greater purpose to be profited by that war. There is no one who wages a war to be destroyed.
Instead war divided the world into pieces to be destroyed. War occurs because the war-maker is in a plus position, subject position, while his opponent is also in an opposed plus position, and between the two pluses, give and take cannot occur; one must be minus; therefore, by force it destroys its opponent. This is war. If there are two subjects, then between the two subjects, there is always a conflict; a war occurs. If there are two subjects and one object, then two subjects are always fighting for that one object. Therefore, in the principle of the universe, one subject always takes one object, not two. There are so many males and females, but in the universal principle, there is always one perfected subject and object that are to be united. In the inner world, population is divided into two great camps: male and female, but the balance in numbers between male and female is always level so that history can go on without great imbalance. Sometimes, the female population is more than the male population. Sometimes, the male population becomes greater.
Yet in the overall picture, the balance is kept. Being a female, have you ever worried about what to do if there is no male? We automatically are not concerned with such things.
Being a female, were you born for you yourself or for others? For one subject. Therefore, you are born for man.
We have to change the total concept of life. Love is not yours. You are for others, in other words, you are for your subject or your object. Otherwise, love, this precious thing in life, never materializes. Is love yours? Without an object, love cannot maintain itself. If somebody claims that love is his, then he is a thief of love. The definition of thief is someone that gets other ownership, other people, and things that belong to other people, taking them by force and using them as his own. But if he consults with others before he takes any property, he is no longer a thief.
When all things were created, they were created for object or a subject; therefore, there must be a purpose between the subject and object. Do you think this logic is convincing to you?
Everything has a subject and object relationship, and a reciprocal relationship. Every function in the human body cannot occur without having give and take action between two elements, without a reciprocal relationship. For example, a cell cannot increase itself and maintain its life unless it has a subject and object and a give and take relationship. All heavenly bodies are in motion, and they are in motion to search out their object, and maintain the proper give and take action between subject and object. In man, the mind is in a position of subject, and body is in a position of object. Perfected man is supposed to be united between mind and body, so that they have perfect give and take.
Then man becomes a perfected man; however, because of the fall of man, the physical body was infiltrated, taken by Satan, and became another plus, therefore, two pluses repel each other instead of uniting. In a relationship between subject and object, when they are on an equal level, they would not have give and take, but, as soon as the subject becomes superior and a minus is formed, then immediately, give and take action occurs. However, in this universe, this plus and minus is always united into one, and plus and plus repel each other, but this principle does not work with Satan. Satan, being a subject, repels even minus which is an object because this cosmos is created by God, and God is the absolute Subject, so that all elements as object must have give and take with God. But Satan was not a rational being, and formed another subject in this cosmos. In God's world, in God's creation, through give and take action, there is more productivity, and more benefit for God, in a higher level, so that each higher value can be achieved. But, on the other hand, if you have more give and take with Satan, then the value decreases further down to the limits of hell. So, the man who does evil does not do it willingly. He is somewhat forced to do the evil thing. Man, because he has ancestors who had an illicit love relationship with Satan, is always fooled by Satan.
But our mind is for the other direction. Because there is God, God through religion, teaches man to deny his physical body, to chastise his body. One method is to deny the physical body and the second method is to reinforce the mind by giving tremendous strength to the mind, to make the human mind much stronger and in balance with the physical body. In other words, in the theory of electricity, if you insert a substance of isolation, then the current cannot flow and give and take cannot occur; therefore, God blocks this evil force, and only allows good give and take action which is give and take of the mind. Christ is coming in the role of this substance that makes the current flow freely, so that the cutoff give and take action can be restored.
If there is the greatest man in this universe, you want to relate with him somehow. As a friend, you are not satisfied; as a relative, you feel a little better, but you want a further closer relationship, ultimately the father-son relationship; if you want to become a son, you will be really happy. Is that true? Why? Because once you become a son of the highest, then everything that belongs to the father is automatically inherited by his son.
If there is a highest, God, don't you want to occupy Him? Don't you want to possess him? Then, since there is only one God, then everyone wants that God, and there must be then great fighting among your selves. Each cell, and the multitude of cells in your body, do they fight each other? No, they do not fight. With life as a main subject, every cell has a vertical relationship with that subject, in a position of object, and give and take action takes place beautifully. While they are doing this, cooperative relationships among other cells exists. When you have a perfect give and take action vertically, subject and object, then automatically, horizontal give and take relationship between subject and object is also perfected there. In other words, a vertical give and take action always brings horizontal give and take action.
Because of this principle, the entire universe is forming circular movement, so everything is circular and round. The earth, and moon, everything is round and of a circular shape. The finger also has a circular shape. The principle of sports is to adjust, to perfect the circular motion into beautiful harmony. When you are exercising, you are utilizing this principle in harmony. By exercising, by the motion of exercise you are thrusting out, pushing out the energy to the extreme end of your physical body, all the way to the end. From here, to the finger to the heart -- give and take action should always be equal. Let the blood circulate very smoothly; this exercise makes the blood circulation fine. In order to wage our principle battle, with college students and intellectual people, it is very good for you to know all these things.
Therefore, Master's method of human health is to utilize this principle of circular motion, and really, in order to maintain health, you do not have to have any drastic sports or drastic exercises. By merely utilizing some method, you can maintain good health, and Master is doing it. You give a stimulation to your skin and stimulation to all the parts of your body and your limbs. Sometimes you take a cold bath and that also gives stimulation. All this makes circulation movement perfect. I do have certain secrets, out of this principle, so that I just do short exercises and revitalize my energy. For other people, it takes ten hours to recover their complete energy, but for me, it may only take three hours to do it. When you are very hungry, and losing your energy, then there is a certain exercise in your stomach area that makes the circulation instantly better. Then you feel completely better. You put all human energy, body energy concentrated on the stomach, then suddenly release it.
Then, all the blood assembles in this part of the body, just like any area, when a vacuum is formed, then air comes in. If there is someone who is studying physical education in college, if you study the theory well, you will become a PhD. I am sure, this principle, circular motion, fits into all the scientific world; today, it is the formula of mathematics. So much for this demonstration.
Now, let us go back to man in relationship to God, who is the highest, and we said we want to possess Him. How would you like to be as God, as Father? When we become a son, and Father, God, has beautiful things, then, do you want to have them? When God is a Father, and you are His son, then the relationship is a vertical one. Father -- son relationship is a vertical one, and we do not like it too much. The son wants to be in father's position. He seems to be very high, so that the son wants to go up there, to be in this position. Then, will Father get really angry, when son wants to be in his position?
No, Father rejoices. Father is more than happy. God as Father is giving the blessing of His own position to His son, to be on an equal level. If there is such a God, would you love Him? Of course, when you are in love, you want to see and frequently meet the other, but real love is not that way. If something is really lovable, really good, then there is always a chance for it to be taken away by somebody else.
Then, where do God and man meet and love each other? Everybody dreams of this happiness of having this value most, of having God as his own. So you want to love God in a place where you can see, but nobody else can see. You want to bring God to that secret place, that hiding place. You do not want to leave God far away up in heaven. You want to bring Him very close. Also, you want to become one with God, one with the loved one, where the place is so deep, so remote, that only you can reach. Where is such a place, where is such a hiding, secret place? Every one of you has one -- that is your mind. Once you bring God to your heart, in your mind, then your body cannot be separated from Him. You are always with Him.
Even among men, between man and woman, when they are in love, the first, very virgin love, then, they just want to give the whole thing. They want to give everything, including life for their love. Then how much more between God and man, which is the highest of all. Just nothing can exceed being one with Him. No value can exceed this love. Then, is our mind that big to contain God? Yes, your mind is big enough to contain God. Is mind visible? Can you see your mind? That means, when you say no, there is no mind? Please raise your hands, those who think that you do not have a mind. Then, when God comes into your mind, can you deny Him, can you say: there is no God? When a child is born, the first thing that a child recognizes is his parents. By the same token, when man is first born on earth, the first thing that man should know is God, and bring Him into his mind.
Even man, in his boyhood, when he goes out to play and comes back home, and he cannot find his mother, he is suddenly so lonesome and cries out, shouting out for mother and father and looking for them. How much more our search for God. If man did not fall, how much more this intimate relationship between God and man would be beautiful and perfect and wonderful. If God would be in visible form, like our bodies, then this poses a great problem. Man today is fighting for a piece of ground and giving his life, between Russia and America, the free world and Communist. If there would be a visible God, I am sure they would be fighting each other to death to have that God on their side. Do you think that the Frenchmen do not want to have God in France? Once you have God here in France, then all the universe and cosmos would become France. I am sure, once you see a visible God, that you would go first, that you would never be behind anybody in the world to go after Him because you are the descendants of Napoleon. So God knew that all problems would occur once He was visible, so He decided to be invisible. So, since God is invisible, He has an invisible object, and that object is our mind. Isn't it logical?
Between invisible God as subject and invisible object, our conscience, there is a constant give and take action that is taking place in each one of you. Between the Creator and creation, His product, there was a common purpose; therefore, the purpose of God and the purpose of man cannot contradict each other. It must be one common goal. So, all men are going after God to occupy Him by love, with love, to become His son, to become one with Him.
Through binding by love, this relationship can go on eternally. Love -- you can use the maximum, most beautiful adjective, and still you have not described love enough. With an eternal life, eternal love, an absolute love, an unchanging love -- you need love, one love, and still, you have not described love enough. The reason we can use such an adjective in the description of love is because it has been made possible for us to reach that state.
Once you become one with God, then everything is fulfilled, since God is the eternal unchanging God, the unique and absolute God. This is why the Bible says that you love your Lord God with all your mind, all your soul and all your heart, and this is the first and greatest commandment. Once you meet such a God and possess Him in this beautiful relationship, once you have tasted love, can you be separated in your heart again? Even love, in heart, in human relationships between men and women, is so extreme, even in this fallen world. So, how much stronger would the perfect loving relationship between God and man be in the unstained, unfallen world. Is there anyone who does not want that? If there is someone who does not want these things, then perfect, complete unification is not possible. However, since everybody wants this state, complete unification is possible with this principle alone, this principle of having God as our Parent and becoming His son, and staying with Him, in other words, being one with Him in love. This theory, this principle alone can make the world one.
We become one with God. Now, then we would see that there is an additional quality, an additional good in God. And then, we would still want to possess that too. When we become one with God, then we see God, and we see that He has the power of creation, the power to create the entire universe. Now we, sons, are one with Him. God created all things of creation, and men; created men. We also want to have that power of creation, and God knows it, and God wants to give it to us. Within God, there is the dual essentiality, plus (+) and minus (-); plus essentiality of God manifested into man, which is plus, and minus going into the minus being, which is woman. Then, this subject, man and object, woman, unite as one. That is called a perfect position of minus which is object to God, God being the subject.
By having this relationship of give and take between God as subject, uniting man and woman as object, the power of creation, God's power, flows into this base which is Adam and Eve. And that would not occur unless man and woman unite in complete, perfected love. Then, when we inherit the power of creation, we have the power to multiply our children; the children are in form of creation. When you have your own children, you feel very great. You feel great accomplishment. God gave us the further joy of creation and when God tasted the joy of creation, when He created Adam and Eve, He wanted everyone, all men, to taste the same joy by multiplying children.
Once we have that value in our possession, then, do you have anything further that you want? Do you have any reason to be dissatisfied? We may think sometimes that man's desire is limitless, however, this is not so. Man's desire and ambition have a limit once we occupy God and God's love. Then all desire is all fulfilled.
What is the destination of our human desire? With God, do you need a temporal or an eternal, everlasting love? So, as I said before, our ultimate destination is to meet God and possess His love. Then, if that is our goal, unless you have tremendous urge and desire to reach that goal, how could we get there? So, God is invisible in nature, therefore, the invisible object within our body, which is our mind, constantly has give and take with God and strives towards that goal to unity. Is our mind working that way? How about 10,000 years ago with the people living in that age? Did they have the same desire or not? Do you think then that our eternal posterity, our generations will have the same desire or not? Who can revolutionize this mind? No personal system, no power of science can break this human desire.
Communists think they can do this. They are out of their minds. They are crazy people. Once they give freedom to these people i:tnd give them the truth, then all of them will go away. So it is the natural nature of man to give and take with God, and they are trying to stop it. Therefore, their agony is greater.
What is that pain they feel? Pain is the warning that they are in the direction of destruction, because, if one true give and take action is cut off, then destruction results. Pain is a warning for that.
When you are ill or in sickness, why do you feel pain? The principle of the cosmos is having subject (+) and object (-) with give and take action between them; eternal existence is there. However, in a certain element, once the minus element disappears, then plus also disappears. Therefore, the principle cannot allow this thing to happen. So, this universal principle rejects any infiltrator from the outside, and this rejecting action appears as a phenomenon of pain. When you get treatment from a doctor or from a hospital, it is to restore the object minus position into a normal condition, then, with the give and take action, relationship between subject and object restored, the pain goes away.
When you become one with a greater subject, a higher subject, you feel tremendous joy. When you are united with a lower subject, then something is lacking, you do not feel good. Why do I feel that? Why do you feel that? Once you are attracted to a higher subject, you are closer to God. Since our human desire, ultimate desire, is to reach God, therefore, with even one step' closer to God, you feel joy. So, once you step closer to God, then you have a better give and take relationship with God, so you must feel joy. When you have give and take with a lower subject, in a lower relationship, then you go away from God, so you feel no happiness. You do not feel good. Everything started with God as the original point, with God as center, plus and minus, and all would have been formed around Him. We did not know where joy came from, where sadness came from, but now, we know already that when we get closer to God, we feel joy. Then, do you need God? This is more than a religious standpoint. Without subject, can your conscience, your mind act?
Also, will the mind go on in give and take action when there is a losing effect, when it loses something? So, there must be a beneficial purpose that gives mutual benefit to both subject and object. That is why our mind is working this way. Our mind is great, therefore, mind has great action. Given a plus and a minus magnet, the magnet forms a give and take relationship in plus (+) and minus (-), which is going on, continually, everlastingly. Once we become one in a perfected fashion, is there any power that can separate God and man?
So, we covered the two principles: action cannot occur unless there is a subject and an object, in a mutual, reciprocal relationship. Also subject and object cannot have give and take action unless there is a preceding, inevitable, beneficial purpose. So, then creation is minus give and take action with the subject. There must be a subject. We cannot deny the existence of a Subject through the action of conscience. When we know that conscience is working, there must be a subject to work with it.
So this is self-explanatory that there is a God, and that there is the mutual, beneficial purpose for God and man, in other words, both God and man are benefited by this goal, this purpose.
So, in logic, can you draw the conclusion that there is a God, or that there is no God? God exists. If you recognize that there is mind, then you cannot deny God.
God is like a railroad. So, God is our ultimate destination, our final terminal, and our mind is the railroad to reach that goal. Now, the locomotive wants to run on that rail to that goal. But something here is pulling back and makes it run back from that goal. Once it is cut off from all hampering effects, then it can run automatically to that goal. That hampering effect is our physical body which belongs to the law of sin, which is Satan.
Satan is pulling through our body. So, in order for us to fulfill our goal and our desire, God has to instruct us to chastise our physical body and strengthen out mind, so that we can have more energy to go to that goal. Our body is tied to the physical world, so we must cut off the tie between our body and physical world, with the physical world and our body. Also, God is teaching that you should do your best in heart and soul and mind in loving God. So, with these two facts together, we cannot deny the existence of God. And if religion does not teach these things, then this is not a fulfilling religion for God.
The Unification Church is a religious movement. In the past, religious life was so difficult and harsh. The more you cut off and chastise your body, there was more temptation. But once in the Unification Church, it becomes much easier. Even if there are lots of difficulties, suffering and hardship, since we know the truth so clearly, we have more power to thrust ourselves to the goal. Even though you undergo hardship, this hardship will benefit you so much for the ultimate goal. By going through your hardship, you are not going to lose anything.
This is one example here. Your [Reiner Vincenz] leader came from Germany. It used to be that the two countries, Germany and France, were enemies, but now, you are loving each other. This is one good example. Do you go this road because you are forced to do it, or are you willing to do it? If this is true, there are no problems. You are on your way to your goal. I studied science. I do not believe, I do not act on anything that is not logical. Now, you know that God exists.
When you go out and witness the principle, many people will say to you: "Show me God, then I will believe." Then you will say: "Are you sure, once that you see God, that you will believe?" Then you say: "I will show you God." In the past, among my friends, many were Communists. Once they started to discuss their logic, then they were completely flabbergasted and flustered. They were fighting, at first, then they were subdued. And I became a most formidable man for all the Communist world. It is true. I went through testing periods in Korea, and I was completely successful. There is a fast way to witness about God to Communists. You point them in the eye, and then you say: "Can you see, this finger?" He will answer: "I can see it". Then you ask him: "Where did your eye come from?" "My eyes were given by my parents, my parents' eyes given by my grandparents, my grandparents' eyes from my grandgrandparents, and going on up." "And when the first eyes were made, where were they made?" "On the earth, right here, on the earth." "The eyes were created to see sunlight that comes from the sun and the solar system and heavenly bodies.
Do you think that the eyes know that once an eye was made, there would be a sun to see? The eye itself did not know. And the eye never even conceived that eyes must be formed in this way to see the sun. Did the eye know all the environmental places, everything that it would face? The eye itself did not know, but there must be someone who did know everything so as to create eyes in that fashion.
Eyes blink, and they blink in order to maintain moisture in the eyes. If all the moisture evaporates, then eyes will be in trouble. That's why they blink. Do you think that this eye, eyelash and upper muscle knew that there would certainly be moisture to protect it, or that the radiant sun heat would evaporate the moisture? This eye muscle did not know such phenomenon, but someone must have foreknown that the environment was there. Also, the eye has a certain system that provides moisture; water is constantly supplied. Someone foreknew that all these things were necessary.
The eye itself did not know that this circumstance happened. This time, look at eyelashes. Eyelashes are there to protect against dust from the air. And did they know that? Eyelashes did not know, but someone must have foreknown. When the female was born, did she know there was a male when she was born? The female child did not know, when she was born, yet someone planned it such. Here is the eyebrow. Why is it here? When men have sweat, sweat should not drip down into the eyes. In order to prevent it, there are eyebrows. Did eyebrows know that such a mission could be…
Missing part of speech
…this. Ask the God-denying Communists these questions, step by step, and they have to know it is this way. Then, finally, you ask them: "Do you agree that there must be someone who had a foreknowledge of all these things?" The information this human body has as a mysterious palace, cannot even be expressed by all the volumes of books in the world. And this is not the product of accident. Should it happen at random? Suppose there is a PhD, and he is planning his precise schedule for one year, 365 days. It is very difficult, even for a doctor, to create such a complete, perfected schedule for one year. They are not in a position to say this and that, and they are not in a position to evaluate, even analyze all the great information that is hidden in the human body. Even man with his knowledge of science, cannot create the human body, the living man. Then how much more impossible it is that these materials evolve themselves into the human body.
Communists claim that consciousness is a product of material, but this is a crazy idea. That means that all these materials just evolved that way. So there are many crazy people with open eyes. You may choose any name you desire, but this; Master planner who had a foreknowledge of all these things is God. Man did not create knowledge, but he searches for the truth and human knowledge. What do you think? Did man create knowledge or does he search after knowledge? Therefore, matter cannot come first. The men who control all this material are now searching for further knowledge. So how then can this material be superior to that knowledge? Our body is led by the mind; the mind wills first, and wants to go first, then the body follows.
Then do you think that the body goes first, and the mind follows the body? Does the mind lead or does the body lead?' Communists say that the body leads. So we have to eradicate this. We must be able to win over Communism by logical theory. We have not yet reached the world-wide foundation upon which we can use the mass-media, to publicize all these things, but in the near future, this foundation will be established.
The Communists in Japan, and particularly left-wing college groups, ask their people not to meet with Unification Church members. But they have meetings among their leaders, in which Communist theory is discussed, and confronted with the Divine Principle, the Unification Church theory. Then they know that Communist theory is without roots, and crumbles. That's why they would rather avoid a confrontation with us. Nothing can defeat the power of logic. So you came to the most precious place, to have this truth as your own.
In this universe, there is a phenomenon of contradiction, and Communism says that this is reaction, in other words, that this is an opposing power. Also in the universe, there is a power of union. There is a repelling action. But that phenomenon must be there, it is a necessity. I will explain this in a simple way.
The opposing action is not always bad. This must be a necessity the plus (+) and minus (-) unite; and plus (+) and plus (+) repel each other. Now, in the atmosphere, particularly in a cloud on a stormy day, there is a lot of electrical current up in the air, and plus (+) electricity and minus (-) electricity sometimes clash with each other, and create thunder and lightning. Is there all of a sudden a great big mass of plus created and a great big mass of minus created together at the same time? It is not that way. The important thing in the principle of electricity is how the pluses unite more pluses so that they become a greater mass of pluses; how minuses together with other minuses become a greater mass of minuses; this is the problem. It the same pluses repel each other, how can they unite? This is one subject I wanted to write a thesis about in school.
According to the principle of repelling, the same plus (+) plus (+) repel, and the same minus (-) minus (-) repel, and they cannot become one. This plus only repels another plus when he has found his minus and has formed a reciprocal relationship of give and take then it repels. As long as there is no minus, no object there, the plus will be united. So, these pluses all by themselves, only pluses alone, just keep uniting, going like a snowball, becoming bigger. On the other hand, minuses are getting bigger and bigger and finally, there is a mass of pluses and a mass of minuses, and they become united into one through give and take action, in a united form. So there is the step, and minus always follows plus one step behind. They keep uniting, but still, it is not quite balanced. That is why pluses are adding up more pluses, minuses are adding up more minuses in a great big mass. But once plus and minus become attracted into one, then they become an eternal entity.
If another plus approaches, a repelling action then occurs. So then why is repelling action necessary? Once they become an eternal, everlasting entity, like plus and minus united in one, if another plus approaches, this plus must be repelled. If plus is added to another plus, then minus will be eliminated. It would disappear and would be destroyed. That is why this plus must be repelled. However, if instead of plus, a minus approaches, then it will form a union. When plus and minus approach together, plus and minus unite, so they become bigger. The universe has a tendency to protect its eternal entity. Therefore, if another plus approaches that entity, because of that plus, that entity can be destroyed. In order to prevent that destruction, they have to repel this plus. The repelling action, or expelling action is the action of protection. Because of this principle of repelling action, the plus and minus become more one, in order to sustain the entity. This is not a bad effect at all, because when plus repels another plus, in fact, it is saying: "Go away and take your own minus, like me, like us here, and become an eternal being!" So, the universe cannot form unless there is a uniting action and a repelling action. When you turn something around, there are two powers working in different directions.
One is pulling outwards, and one is pulling towards the inside to the core, to the center. The jet-plane takes advantage of this repelling action, this pushing force.
If it is not completely clear yet, then let us take another example, using man and woman. Two single men become friends; they can unite, and single women also can unite among themselves.
Once the man and single woman are married in one union, then, if another man approaches, they repel him. In fact, when they repel, they are saying: "Go away and, like us, take your object, and become like us, an eternal being." So, because of this repelling action this husband and wife become more one. They are more united, closer and inseparable. So we must understand that in this cosmos there is a principle of union and a principle of repelling. From the standpoint of this principle, you observe all the phenomena of the world and the universe; then you are convinced that everything without exception operates under this principle. So, once God and man unite as plus and minus into one, is there any power that can approach and infiltrate and de troy? So from Principle, we can readily understand that all the heavenly bodies in their respective circular motion, will not clash with each other and destroy each other. Do not think that one day a star might approach the earth and clash with the earth. Don't worry about it! Because once this relationship between subject and object is formed, and something approaches that unity, it will repel it.
This is a repelling principle. In that case, this circular motion may change into a rectangular motion, but they never really destroy each other. There is some variation of the circular motion, changing into different forms, so that we have longer days in the year, and longer nights and so forth. However, there is no possibility that heavenly bodies clash with each other, and destroy each other. In other words, all the plus (+) plus (+) will be able to be united, that should have been united a long time ago. There is nothing left in plus (+) plus (+). Do you understand the principle of union and the principle of repelling?
The period from 1977 to 1978 is a most critical period for the world. We are preparing ourselves for that crisis. At this time, the Master's third world tour, he could engage in many public speeches. This is also one preparation for that crisis; and also the creation of mobile teams in all the world is also another preparation. It is my faith and my belief that I may sacrifice France, but save the world. Once the world is saved, then France is of course saved. So it is from that principle, that members in the Unification Church in France may give their lives in America. And if these things are necessary for the world strategy, it is more valuable to work in America. Suppose it takes you 10 years to restore France. However it takes only 5 years to restore America; then you would rather go to America to help their restoration, and in the overall scheme, it is much quicker. If I send you to America to work over there, would you complain? Would you be willing to go, or would you rather be forced to go?
England promised our Master to send 100 members to America next year. Now, how many can you promise in France? Germany is going to send more than 300 members. How many would you want to respond for? Would you like to be defeated by Germany and by England? Then, how many? Tell me a number! I must have a promise. Before I leave, I would like to have a concrete plan. America has 60% of the world's wealth. Then do you think we should restore America first or France First?
We must restore America first. America is mobilizing more than 400 mobile team members next year, and 2000 mobile team members in three years. I am the Commander in Chief and I want to have a France mobile team participating. How many?
70. That's less than England. If you increase your members to 600, then you can send 160 to America, and there are still 350 left in France. Do you think, if God wants to do it, He is able to do it? If you cry out, day in and day out, and are always working, day in and day out, do you think it will not be accomplished?
Do you think God is busy or not? God wants to accomplish the whole thing overnight. But there are not enough people who are truly committed. That's why it is delaying and dragging. Let us decide a number first. I am not going to force you, I am not going to decide for you, you decide. If you decide 101, then England will say we'll do 102; then you say we'll go 103; then England would call and send 104. So, in order that this situation cannot happen, there must be a large gap, so that they don't even dare to try. I will teach you how to witness, so you decide a number by majority vote, How many? Would you like to leave it to your leader? Then you (Reiner [Vincenz]) answer the Master how many France will promise? Reiner: "I would say 100, too." Do you all agree? Then, what would you do if England would do one more, so as to make it 101? Are you going to follow them?
Now, I will teach you how to witness. Each member will buy 20 or 30 Divine Principle books and you will give it to each one of the prospective readers every month; in other words, you distribute the 20 to 30 books to 20 to 30 prospective readers; then, if you have 20 books in your possession, then you have 240 people reading the Divine Principle during the year. Out of the 250 readers of the Divine Principle, you select the very best 10%, which is approximately 20 people, and contact them, teach them, and you'll get really busy. And when you take 5%, it's 10 people (less than 5%). Then, if these 10 people among 240 are deeply interested by reading the Principle, then you go and tell them: "Well, if you like the Principle so much, then there must be so many people around you, your relatives and your friends, who want to hear the same message. Why don't you gather those people, then I will come and teach them and talk with them." Then when each man assembles 10 persons, then it will become 100. Then, 5% of them will become 5, and altogether, 15. You can advertise. Then out of these students of the Divine Principle, you can give them a test on Divine Principle; if they get more than 60 points, then you can tell them; "You are a good candidate to go to America to work."
If you have parents here, and elder brothers, those who are influential members of the family, then invite them home, so that they can see the activities with their own eyes. Then when you introduce your relatives, your mother, you father and your elder brother and so forth, they undoubtedly would say: "how wonderful! You are proud parents to have such a wonderful son or younger brother." Then your parents would be very happy. Also, once your parents or your elder brother are convinced and impressed by your own activity, and approve of it, when they have a big occasion at their home, like a birthday party or any other gathering with all the relatives, you can suggest to talk to them of the Principle. Then your parents really need organizing for the meeting of relatives, however, the parents cannot preside the meeting, because it is their own son's affair. So let the uncle come in and let him preside the meeting. So, actually, the unity between you, your parents and a third part, your uncle is formed. Then, among your relatives, there must be more than 10 people, the distant relatives, etc. Once this mood, this action is formed, then everybody will like to come.
In your center, you can prepare one room only for parents who become friends. They will not just go away after receiving such a tremendous treatment. They will do something in return. So you simply cannot say that you cannot bring in new members, at least one a month. So, can you witness and bring the new members into the family, 12 during the year? So, we are about 50 members here, then it will easily become 400 or 500 during the year. So, now, use the book, it is the book method we call it with the book method, you go ahead, initiate. During the month, among 20 or 30 who are reading the Divine Principle books, there must be one person who is attracted to it more closely. Then things will happen. If a person really likes the book, then you can sell it to him. Initially, of course, you loan it to them, for a week, for two weeks, or one month, but after one month, you gather all these books and give them to new people. If people are reading the book in two weeks, then, during the month, you can count 40 people through the book.
You must be very sincere to them, do you heart-felt service to them, and they will be impressed by your attitude of service, so they will give their attention to the book, and read it and be interested in it. Then, you have a good chance to bring that person in. Those who graduated from school can utilize their alumni to study.
You buy 20 books, then let the people read them in two weeks, then, during the year, you are contacting literally 480 people. Can you do it? Newspaper boys, in one morning, usually deliver 300 papers from door to door without any trouble. So 40 people during the month should be well within the reach of the goal. People will feel grateful to you because you are giving them the book to read. Shall we do it? Then do you still feel that it is very difficult to bring in one new member during the month? Then do it! Then, when you do it and reach that goal, next time when I come here, I might organize my first meeting as I did in other places. Now you promised me. Those who promised me raise their hands. Next year, when I come, you will need a much bigger house.
