This is the forty-third anniversary of the founding of HSA-UWC. The title of Father's message this morning is, The Great Transitional Period toward the Original World. The oriental way of writing is always vertical, whereas the Western way is horizontal. Vertical writing begins at the right side of the page and moves vertically toward the left. The horizontal style of writing is from left to right and moving down the page. The general way of doing things in various parts of the world is different. There is always significance for the development of a particular cultural trend. In this regard, looking at the Oriental world we see it became the bastion of the vertical culture, whereas the Western world became the bastion of the horizontal culture.
In the horizontal world, when a spherical phenomenon occurs it turns 360 degrees. In other words, Western culture always turns step by step and makes 360 degrees. However, even if this Western culture turns 360 degrees, as long as there is a central axis, this culture can be stabilized. Unfortunately, Western culture is without this axis, which is why it is always floating. What is the difference between the President of the United States and yourself? (We have a center.) Then who is that center? (God and True Parents.) Centering on America, who is the center? (True Parents.) When it comes to your nation, the president of the country should be the center. Don't you agree? Who is the center of the family? American women may say that mothers are. However, the father is the central position.
Who is the center of yourself? (Mind.) Are we referring to two different minds, or one single mind? Are we talking about absolutely one father or two fathers? (One father.) Are we referring to one president of your nation or two presidents? (One president.) In the practice of democracy, we hold a presidential election every four years. It is like changing colors from red to green to blue. There is no real connection in terms of philosophy and leadership. Therefore, the Western world is not really prospering but going down. When we refer to democracy, what do we mean, philosophically speaking? Is democracy centered upon God or humanity? (Humanity.) That is the wrong central point. It has to be centered upon God and from that center express equal opportunity for all.
The center has to be immovable and unchanging eternally. Can we say that democracy can govern the entire world? (No.) Why no? (Because there is no vertical center.) The vertical center must be one. Shall we say that the contents of the vertical center is the power of the economy? With the power of economy, we cannot create equalization. Centered upon one main trunk of a tree there may be many small roots and branches. Can one small branch claim to be the central root which the entire tree must follow just because it belongs to the central trunk? (No.)
The entire tree has to follow the direction of the central root, central trunk and central bud, not the mediocre branches and leaves. There are many buds on the different branches but they cannot claim to be the central bud. Are they all equal in terms of the order of the tree? (No.) There should always be order. Only by recognizing this order can each aspect of the tree be established. Without understanding, the order there can be no position of identity. In the future, we can conclude that the world will consist of only one race, not many different races, because the world of freedom and unification must be centered upon one root, one trunk and one bud.
This is the place of eternal settlement. This is the universal formula of existence. Who is the center of this woman here? Her mind. Where does this mind belong? It belongs to the original vertical axis. The original vertical settlement is always one, never two. Humanity's original central root is only one. Is this true? (Yes.) What kind of world shall we expect in the future? A world of peace? (Yes.) When the ideal world of peace comes about shall there be two different ideologies or only one? (One.) What then can be the central ideology of the ideal world? The power of economy? (No.) Through economic power, we cannot achieve equalization. Which would you rather have, a one-dollar bill or a one hundred dollar bill? (One hundred dollar bill.) [Laughter] If everyone goes after that one hundred dollar bill, your fingers would be cut off. [Laughter]
How about the power of knowledge? We may feel that money is on the ground whereas knowledge is above us. What is the source of money? Gold, silver and precious metals are all in the ground. Knowledge is always above the ground. Do you agree? (Yes.) Who created knowledge? (God.) It existed with the creation of this universe. The entire universe was created following a certain order. That in itself became knowledge. The existence of the planet Earth became the source of knowledge in various fields. We gradually began to obtain it. What can connect the power of money and knowledge? Without connecting these two elements, we are in trouble.
No matter how much monetary power the United States may exercise, as long as there is no connection with universal knowledge, America will meet its demise. Within your head are all the information centers. It is the intelligence headquarters. [Laughter] Through these various information centers, you begin to collect knowledge from various sources. Then from that point, you deal with reality. Can the power of economy control this? (No.) How about political power? (No.) The power of politics and economy can never dominate the power of knowledge.
We should be able to say that our thought power controls the power of economy and politics. Why did you come here this morning and sit before Father? Your mind directed you toward this place by reasoning that this was a certain day in the calendar of our church and that by coming you would receive clear direction for your life. Is this true? (Yes.) Has America really embraced the Unification Church until this point? (No.) Has America tried every possible means to destroy the Unification Church? (Yes.) However, the Unification Church has still prospered. [Applause] There is no time for that. There are many people who give their applause easily, but they also can turn around and betray easily as well. Therefore, if you want to give applause this morning, do so in your minds because Father needs more time.
After all, of this persecution and opposition that the world applied to destroy the Unification Church and Reverend Moon, we now find that Father has prevailed over the leadership of this world. Therefore, the Unification Church members in the entire world are enjoying this. However, the secular world does not enjoy this fact in general. If God really enjoys Father's success, surely Satan hates it. If we combined the power of God and the power of the Unification Church members and compete against the power of Satan and the secular world, which would be greater in terms of power? (God's side.)
The more power God's side accumulates, the smaller and weaker will Satan's power become. Reverend Moon, as one individual, continues to move up and so the power of God's influence increases. In just forty-three years since the establishment of HSA-UWC, the entire world has been turned around. Are there some people in the world who have never heard of Father's name? (No.) One way or another everyone has heard the name of Reverend Moon. But when you ask them the name of the president of their country, they may not know, because for one term, it is one man and then it changes. But the name of Reverend Moon never changes.
When people first became aware of Reverend Moon, they heard only negative stories connected with his name. They may have thought that he died by now. Then they begin to hear all these positive accounts of Reverend Moon's activities and many couples have received the marriage Blessing by Reverend Moon.
Then they begin to wonder again. One way or another the name of True Father is linked with controversy. There are eight different levels of controversy and development existing surrounding Father's name.
At the time of the announcement of the 30,000 couple Blessing, some people in the world wondered why Father should want to conduct such a Blessing. It was thought that many of these 30,000 couples were low level people with no value in terms of restoring the world. This was the negative thought that some people in the world had at the time of that Blessing. But within three years, Father announced the Blessing of 360,000 couples and they were even more shocked. They just couldn't comprehend it. They were wondering what Reverend Moon was planning through giving Blessing to 360,000 couples.
Many in America might feel themselves to be living a far more comfortable and peaceful life compared to Unificationists who seem to be living in terrible circumstances and making too much noise. This is not a normal problem but a complicated problem in the minds of many people. Who won the battle, the CIA or Reverend Moon? (Reverend Moon.) Father understands that the CIA may have the means of recording Father's message this morning. When they hear this warning from Father, would they feel it was true or false? (True.) Then as long as in the back of their minds they feel so, they begin to become brainwashed. [Laughter]
When you first joined the Unification Church, did you imagine yourselves to be better than Father or that Father was greater than you? You all came with different purposes. Some of you came to find out what the Unification Church was up to. (No.) When you entered the door of the Unification Church, which part of your body came in first, your head or your legs? Some did come with a bad motivation, but as they studied the truth then the head position decreased and the legs moved forward. [Father demonstrates] [Laughter] You didn't want to get involved but your mind moved your body forward.
This morning you had to awaken before 4 a.m. and travel here and arrive before 6 a.m. to hear Father's message. Did you come with pleasure or reluctantly? (With pleasure.) Who is lying? Is your answer a lie or is Father's action a lie? You became Unification Church members and at the same time trouble-makers. That is true. Think about how many times your life has been roller-coasting up and down. How often have you been in this situation? (Many times.) Therefore, you are bad people. However, when you compare your life now to when you first joined the movement, you have changed. You may still experience struggle to move in the right direction, but you are moving forward. [Father demonstrates] [Laughter]
Why are you all laughing? (Because it is true.) But do you see the difference in the quality of your lives? (Yes.) What is different? (Mind.) Your body is like the cousin of a beggar. In general, the appearance of the Unification Church is not so attractive. You don't wear such fancy clothing but internally you have become much greater. We all have one unique determination. That is, even if the entire American people oppose us, we will still walk forward. Even if the entire world opposes our direction, we will still follow True Parents. (Amen.) Even if God tries to stop us we will still follow True Parents. Isn't this true? (Yes.) Even if God tries to stop us, if we believe that what True Parents are teaching us is the truth, we will continue to follow them. This is our determination isn't it? (yes. Yes. Yes.)
You all look quite different tome: Your hair, skin and eyes are all different in color to mine. How to combine these differences into one is the problem. How can you, the citizens of the most powerful nation in the world, claim that you will follow behind Reverend Moon who came from a poor and not so well respected country in the Orient? Korea itself is a very difficult and complicated nation. Because Father is molding you top-class young American citizens into his image then there is opposition from America.
All the five races of the world come to America. But if those five races of people are willing to follow Reverend Moon, what is going to happen? Those of you who truly feel in your heart of hearts that you are nothing other than an American citizen please stand up and leave. This very Americanism itself has been trying to destroy Reverend Moon and the Unification Church. We all feel that we prefer the democratic way of doing things. We all like our privacy and individualistic concepts. As long as you harbor such feelings it hinders the work of God.
What is the title of True Father's message this morning? The Forty-Third Foundation Day: The Great Transitional Period toward the Original World. The entire universe is now turning toward that original world. No matter how much America may try to oppose and prevent this transition, there is no way to stop it. Those who were present in Washington, DC for Father's message on April 16 raise your hands. In a way, you are in a position of representing some organization or state and so you could be present. However, ordinary members were not able to attend. There were so many scholars and politicians familiar with Father's work who were turned away because there were not enough seats. Therefore, very few Unificationists were able to come.
As you have now read Father's message, you see that Father revealed the secrets of the universe as well as the life of Jesus and many different aspects of the Divine Principle to the entire world. The beginnings of the human race have not been entirely clear until this time. Also the purpose was not clear. However, through this message Father clarified the process, purpose and direction of human history. Without exception, those dignitaries who came to hear Father's message were so inspired. If they were not inspired they must have been deaf.
Since the beginning of the universe, this April 16 message will be proclaimed as Reverend Moon's Declaration to the World and Cosmos. [Applause] Now the entire world will recognize that as long as they choose to head in the right direction they will have to follow in Reverend Moon's footsteps. That is the only way the world will go in the right direction. The world has been witnessing this forty years of Reverend Moon's public life. A life where he has been able to go over every possible obstacle and opposition. Yet he is still on the right track and prospering. Therefore, the entire world has to conclude that from here on the only hope for the entire world is Reverend Moon.
Father has dared to challenge the world to oppose him if they wish. When Father visits South America he only meets heads of state there if he feels it is necessary. He never meets them only based upon their request alone. During his time in Africa, many of the various countries' presidents extended invitations to Father. But Father didn't always accept those invitations. Are you a greater human being than the heads of state of Africa? (Yes.) You reply affirmatively, but from the standpoint of recognition of the world we are at zero point.
Father wants us to understand the power of thought. The ideology of True Love is where all power lies. What power? (True Love power.) Do you like True Love? (Yes.) But True Love means only sacrifice. Therefore, if Father continually hits your head until it disappears you still have to say yes. Then from that point of zero you will ascend to Heaven. Then you will become the prince and princess of God's Kingdom. How wonderful that will be. Would you like to be that kind of children of God? (Yes.) Forever? (Yes.) No problem? (No problem.) This has to be an eternal answer, not a temporary one. Suppose your love partner will be taken from you because of this answer, will you still respond in the same way? (No problem.)
What if your response will cause the loss of your nation? (No problem.) Why do you say so? Because once we reach the perfection of True Love, that place will be worth a million times more than anything you might lose through responding this way. That is why you continue to say so eternally. Do you follow Father? (Yes.)
During the forty-three years since the establishment of HSA-UWC, Reverend Moon has overcome many different hills and obstacles and has now completed his course. During Easter week, Time, News week and US News and World Report all ran cover stories that dealt with the life of Jesus. They posed controversial questions regarding Jesus' birth and life. However, they had no clear conclusive answer to any of those questions. They should listen to Reverend Moon and realize that he is the one who has given the answer to all of these important questions: All three of these major magazines have all, one way or another, opposed and persecuted Father during the last twenty years. Then they come up with these controversial questions surrounding Jesus' life and are all up in the air without any conclusive answer. Then on April 16 Father addressed the leadership of this country in Washington, DC. and gave the true answer to all of their questions. Therefore, should they be grateful to Reverend Moon or should they continue to oppose him? (Be grateful.)
Do you think that Jesus should come on the clouds or be born as a physical man? (Man.) You answer this way because you are Unificationists. However, what about ordinary Christians, what would be their response? Then whose answer is correct, your answer or the answer of the Pope, Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell and other prominent Christians? (Our answer.) Who is going to give credit to your answer? Where did you obtain your answer, from Jesus or from God? (True Father.) If God and Jesus had been in the position to provide the correct answer to humanity they would have done so a long time ago. If God could have done so the Fall would never have happened.
God has been in the position of the owner of the orchard. There is a chestnut tree bearing fruit which looks to be ready. However, the inside of the chestnut is not even half way ripe. As the owner of the orchard would you try to pick and eat that chestnut? (No.) That has been the position God has found himself in all of these years. That is why he could not interfere in the Fall. God only picks the ripe fruit. Human history began with the Fall which passed on false love, false life and false lineage. Therefore even God Himself could not directly control that, just as the owner of the orchard cannot make the unripe chestnut become ripe. He has to wait until the fruit ripens on its own.
The world's youth are all going down the drain through immoral lifestyles. No political, economic, cultural or religious power is able to prevent this. This is what is called the Last Days. Just as Adam and Eve fell during their youth, we see this misuse of sexuality occurring today among the youth. Who then can correct this problem? Only True Parents, who come with the truth centered upon True Love, True Life and True Lineage. When we have this armament we will clearly be able to distinguish right and wrong. Even teaching logically people still refuse to accept. Therefore, we need to come up with an x-ray system to be able to see through. Does Reverend Moon have x-ray power? (Yes.)
Through the lenses of x-ray power Father is able to see from the individual level to family all the way to the universal level. Father doesn't like the adjective form but rather the noun form. Instead of saying he is a victorious man, he prefers to say he is a Victor. As Victor I am standing as the absolute True Love partner. God, subject and myself, object. Partner means sharing the same value centering upon True Love power. Is this true? (Yes.) Therefore, how wonderful are couples centering upon the True Love ideal.
You sometimes laugh like a woman because you enjoy Father's actions on the stage. In other words, you are totally attracted to Father's bodily gestures and feel one with Father. This is good. [Laughter] Already we have been here one hour and twenty minutes and Father hasn't even scratched the surface yet. [Laughter] We are talking about the forty-third anniversary today which means the number seven. Number four represents the four corners and number three represents formation, growth and perfection which together form the number seven. The Unification Church is finally going over the hill at the worldwide level. We have passed over the fortieth year and are now in the forty-third year.
In 430 years the Israelites finally conquered Canaan. It is equivalent to that kind of period. Also, this year we celebrated the thirty-sixth True Parents' Day. The number thirty-six represents 360 degrees which is perfection. It also represents 360 days, which is one full year according to the lunar calendar. In the lunar calendar, each year we have five years left over. In every fourth year we have an extra month. Because of the gravity of the moon we see the tides change, and following that same natural order, women menstruate once in a month. The moon itself doesn't create any light. In that sense it represents woman. On the other hand, the sun stands in the position of man. From this principle we can conclude that women are in the position to follow their husbands. Even if a woman may not have a career or qualifications, as long as she becomes one with her husband, she will stand in an equal position to him. How? Through the power of True Love.
The light shining from women is, in fact, the reflecting light from their husbands. Sun Myung Moon is Father's name. The middle name Myung, is formed by two Chinese characters. This one [pointing to board] means moon and this means sun. Plus and minus, sun and moon together, shining. Also, in the natural world the phenomena of thunder and lighting is equivalent to the marriage partnership. Electric plus and minus.
The middle character of Father's name stands for shining light. The name Sun has two Chinese characters combined, the left one stands for fish. That is why Father enjoys fishing and being on the ocean. [Laughter] The second character on the right side stands for sheep or lamb. What comes to your mind when you hear lamb? It is a sacrificial animal. An offering. When we combine these two Chinese characters together it forms the meaning of beautiful brilliant morning sunlight. Every Christian welcomes that. Everything and everyone welcomes the light of the morning sun. The name Moon in Chinese characters stands for truth. This is the script of Chinese characters that looks like father. In the Unification Church it means Father Moon. Can you see the difference between these characters inside of the circle [pointing to the board]. This stands for father and this stands for moon. Father Moon stands for plus and the literal moon stands for minus. There is a subject and object relationship.
Those who understand Chinese characters are surprised when they read Father's name. It is such a beautifully unique name. Our five senses are controlled from the central part of our brain. Father's name combines Heaven and Earth, the entire world of nature and the world of thought, and sets the direction for humanity -- from the individual level, family, tribe, nation, world and cosmos onto the spiritual realm bringing all levels toward God. There has been tremendous opposition but now there is no more opposition. The great transitional period means we are going to the original point.
[Father draws on the board) This is the point where the Fall took place and the elder sonship was lost. This is where Satan began to rule the world from the individual level, expanding up to the worldwide level. This Cain world was supposed to be in the position of object, but played the role of subject. On the other hand, the Abel world was supposed to be in the position of Abel but became Cain. This is how the elder sonship was lost.
Adam was supposed to become the first parent of humankind and the first king of his family. The family level son, family level parent, and family level king should have expanded to the national level elder son, parent and king. That was Adam's original position. But he lost everything at the family level. Therefore, Jesus came on the national level in order to restore all of these positions back again. However, due to the crucifixion of Jesus the right and left hand side thieves could not be united.
Because of Jesus' crucifixion which took place at the national level, he was unable to fulfill his mission. Now, in the age of the Lord of the Second Advent, we are dealing with the worldwide level. At the level of world we are forming the individual family and moving through each stage to accomplish at the worldwide level. This is now that time. Do you follow? (Yes.) This Abel position needs to be reversed. In other words, Abel should be positioned on the right hand side and Cain should move to the left hand side. This plus line [indicating to the board] was supposed to be minus but took the plus position. At the time of reversal it should come into the minus position and the minus should come into the position of plus. This is the course of human history.
[Father writes an explanation on the board] Between God and the original world there is always this gap. God has been unable to play any role in this world because of this gap. There has been no level at which God was able to work in this world. Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel were all taken by Satan. God, therefore, came down even below Abel. This is how the order was reversed. There has been no individual in human history who has been able to reverse this order at any level. The entire human history has been controlled by Satan up until this time.
This foundation was lost originally by Adam at the family level. Jesus came at the national level to restore everything at that level. However, Jesus was crucified. The role of the Messiah is to bring the elder son's right, parentship and kingship to humanity. This is the essence of the original world. Unless we fulfill this essence God has no place to stand. The world presently enjoys only the satanic elder sonship, parentship and kingship. Therefore we have to separate Satan. One of the major characteristics of the satanic world is separation, whereas the characteristics of God is unifying and combining.
Why is it that Satan likes to separate everything? Because his essence is self-serving. He denies the time in history. This is what is happening in this world today. Individualism and privacy are the weapons of Satan. How could Christianity advocate privacy and individualism? Because Christianity has based itself on pragmatism. Christians claim to want to deal with reality rather than concept, that which is visible rather than that which is invisible. They claim that whatever they are able to verify belongs to them. This is Satan's concept.
Is America becoming Hell on Earth or the Kingdom of God on Earth? (Hell on Earth.) Do you American women feel badly about this? (Yes.) How bad? (Very bad.) There are so many youth contracting AIDS. This means no hope. Yankee go home is the cry around the world. In general, American influence to the rest of the world is no longer welcomed, because the American youth who go out to the world pass on satanic influence to the rest of the world. Influence such as AIDS. We have to reach enlightenment.
God and the original world have been separated due to the fallen history. How then can we reverse this fallen world back to the original world so that God and the original world can become one again? Centering upon Jesus there was the right and left hand thief. The right and left wing ideologies stem from Jesus' cross. Remember the left hand thief mocked Jesus, but the right hand thief showed his admiration and respect to Jesus even on the cross. Of the two, who entered Paradise? (The right hand thief.) It wasn't Jesus' disciples or the chief priests who entered into Paradise with Jesus, but rather it was the thief on the right hand side of Jesus on the cross who entered Paradise first.
For 2000 years Christianity has been teaching that whoever follows Jesus will enter into the Kingdom of God and whoever does not follow will not enter into the Kingdom of God. Therefore, in the Last Days the teachings of Christianity will reach to every corner of the world. [Father draws a diagram on the board] Here we have the country of Israel and the religion of Judaism. A Cain and Abel relationship existed between the two. When it comes to the strategy between Satan and God, God's side is always attacked first and then claims everything back. Whereas the satanic side always strikes first and then loses everything. Why is this so? Suppose there was a very righteous young man in a small village who initially was misunderstood by others in the village and they all opposed him. However, within three years everyone came to realize all the good he did for their village. Then they would all support and welcome him. Since God is the source of all wisdom, this is the strategy He gave to the heavenly side. Through the path of service and sacrifice victory will come.
The Christian world is in the position of Cain to Reverend Moon in the position of Abel; younger brother. They have opposed Father so much, but gradually the tide is turning. Is this true? (Yes.) Satan's side hits God's side first, but eventually God's side can claim everything back. The persecution of the world came against this one man, Reverend Moon. Reverend Moon's direction is the unique, unchanging and eternal way. Do you understand? (Yes.) Father has built a foundation like a high mountain. Now everyone is attracted to the high peak of this mountain that Father has constructed. The young generation now are attracted to this mountain peak. Forty years ago one generation opposed me, but now the next generation welcomes me.
Throughout the world, everything is under the dominion of Satan. How can we take this back to God's side? Who is about to make this action? True Parents' lineage. This means international mass marriage ceremonies. In the beginning, the blood lineage became connected with Satan. Through this the ownership of property came under Satan's dominion. At the time of the True Parents, God's lineage and God's ownership are established again. When we refer to one family this means four generations within that family. Great grandparents down to great grandchildren, making four generations. Four different levels but the stages are three: formation, growth, and perfection. From this point this family expands to the level of the tribe. Centering upon your own immediate family tree there are other cousins, at least that will make up seven. That becomes the seed of the tribe. This is where the concept of tribal messiah stems from. We can, of course, extend this to 160 families through in-laws.
Through this means we have to restore the blood lineage and ownership as well as the realm of heart. This is the one category. This original world and God have been separated by the Fall. How can we eradicate this satanic world and make God and the original world one again? By reversing this satanic world 180 degrees. Abel should stand in the position of plus and Cain in the position of minus. The reverse positions should occur which would reverse the position of Cain and Abel. This is the reversing course. In order to do so we need to live by the principle of total negation at the individual level, expanded to the tribe, nation and world levels. That is the only way we will be able to reverse this course, because this is the satanic world that we have to deny from the individual level through to the world level.
This is how we can go over the hill and begin again from the individual level in the original world. We not only have to deny ourselves at the individual level, but we have to carry out this negation process all the way to the world level. Then we return to the individual point and begin again. Unless, we practice this life in this physical world and complete this process, when we join the spiritual world it will take billions of years in order to complete this course. Anyone who has confidence that they don't need to pass into the spiritual world someday please show your hands. We all have to prepare ourselves to be able to live in the eternal world of spirit.
In Family Pledge No. 5 it states: "Our family, centered on True Love, pledges to strive daily for greater development toward the unity between the spiritual world (subject) and the physical world (object)." It should be progressively marching on every day. Father has taught you everything. You are, in no position to complain to Father and Mother in the spiritual world, because Father has taught you everything in this world. From now on it is your responsibility to fulfill your mission and bring the result. This is not Father's responsibility. Do you understand? (Yes.) You are in the position of minus and Father is in the position of plus in this partnership. This is your mission now. It is not Father's mission. Is this clear? (Yes.)
From your individual level you have to negate and deny everything all the way to the world level in this satanic world. Then you have to return to the original point and start again from the individual level in the world of ideal. Because of the crucifixion of Jesus he left behind this left and right wing, represented by the thief on the right and the thief on the left. In the time of the Lord of the Second Advent we have to make this right wing and left wing united. When looking at the world history, ever since the time of Jesus' crucifixion, atheism which stemmed from the left hand side thief, has claimed to dominate this world. However, in the end, the world of religion, represented by the right hand thief, is now controlling the world. Atheism used to proclaim God was dead and tried to eliminate the world of religion. But now it has met its demise.
Humanistic atheism tried to dominate the world and even Christianity became influenced by it. At the time of the Lord of the Second Advent the dead Jesus will be revived on the worldwide scale. In order to do so, based upon the unity between Cain and Abel, eventually the mother (Eve) will be united with the Cain and Abel children. Christianity can be interpreted as the mother religion which is divided into Catholicism and Protestantism. However, we have to unite these two. At the time of Jesus the country Israel in the position of Cain, and Judaism in the position of Abel, had to be united. If they had done so there would not have been the split of ideology in the last 2000 years.
After World War II the three allied countries represented this form of Eve, Cain and Abel. They were supposed to be united centered upon Christianity. On the Satanic side there were Japan, Germany and Italy, the axis countries. Christianity is the religion of spiritual salvation. Therefore, the axis countries represented the spiritual side. Christianity had no sovereignty and so at the beginning wherever it went it was badly persecuted. The Christian history, travelled from the Italian peninsula to the island country of Great Britain and then to the continent of America. Then it moved to the Asian region. However, if Jesus had not died, Christianity would have prospered in the region of Asia. Centering upon Jesus, in the position of subject (plus), so many other religions in the Asian region would have become united with Jesus and prospered.
At that time, the ideal world that all the religions were seeking could have been established. However, due to the failure Jesus was crucified by the Roman Empire. Then this cultural sphere moved in the opposite direction toward the West rather than toward the East. This opposite path has been one of bloodshed. The Italian peninsula didn't fulfill the mission and so Christianity moved to the island nation of England and eventually to the American continent. This trend continued to move toward Asia because of the need to restore Jesus' body.
During World War II these axis nations became the roadblock However, they were defeated. Because of the victory of the allied nations then the allied nations and axis nations became one on the surface. Finally, the unification of the world could have taken place at that time. The counterpart of England is Japan, which are both island nations. During World War II Germany's counterpart was America. One of Hitler's priorities was to eliminate Christians and Jews. That is why that kind of worldwide massacre of Jews and Christians took place. However, Hitler was eventually defeated and the allied and axis nations became one.
The separation of Jesus' spirit and body, because of his crucifixion, now became one entity again. America is centered upon the bride religion of Christianity. Great Britain was in the position of mother to unite these Cain-type and Abel-type worlds together. It was like a family on the worldwide level. In the Garden of Eden both Adam and God were chased out. The spiritual and physical parent were both chased out. On the family level we lost both parents, but now at the time of World War II, at the world level they were restored back again. That is why we refer to the Christian culture as the mother culture. Directly after World War II Christianity, in the position of mother, was supposed to embrace both the eastern and western cultures and offer this unified world to the Lord of the Second Advent. If that had taken place, within seven years following World War II, the entire world would have been restored. The Kingdom of God on Earth would have virtually been built.
The Lord of the Second Advent comes as the True Parent. Stemming from True Parents, eventually true children and true family would have been established and expanded to the world. Now, through multiplying Blessed couples, True Parents are establishing these true families throughout the world. The value of Blessed couples is greater than the first Adam, second Adam and third Adam combined. You could not exchange the value of your Blessed couple with all three Adams. Even if you were offered the entire nation and world, you could never exchange your Blessed couple status.
We Blessed couples have received the privilege and Blessing from True Parents to be able to restore the satanic sovereignty and eventually offer heavenly sovereignty to the world King who comes as the Lord of the Second Advent. This is the responsibility of Blessed couples. On the worldwide scale, the allied countries were in the position of plus and the axis countries in the position of minus. Once these two had united and received the Lord of the Second Advent, based upon that foundation the world could have been united.
However, due to the failure of Christianity, the Lord of the Second Advent was chased out to the wilderness. Once again, the Messiah lost everything. What a tragedy that took place following World War II. In the Garden of Eden only one family was lost. At the time of Jesus the national level foundation was lost. But once Christianity failed to accept the Lord of the Second Advent immediately after World War II, we lost five billion people and six thousand years of human history. Due to this tragedy everything was lost and Father was chased out to the wilderness. Father had to begin all over again in order to indemnify six thousand years of history. From the individual level of persecution all the way up to the world level.
Everything that was lost had to be restored again. True Parents, Reverend Sun Myung Moon are the Lord of the Second Advent. Based upon the victorious foundation of the allied countries at the end of World War II, is it reasonable to conclude that these countries should testify to the world and offer absolute obedience to Reverend Moon? Could those allied countries proclaim to the world that Reverend Moon came as the Elder Son of the entire humanity and the True Parent and True King? It should have happened but it did not; therefore, God's providence of restoration was destroyed.
In the Last Days, centering upon True Parents, there will be one worldwide representative True Son, True Parent and True King. This is the duplication of the original family of Adam at the worldwide scale. There are billions of men in this world but there is no Elder Son. No Son of God. We all stand in the position of Satan's body and we have to exchange this. We have become the six-thousand year old wild olive tree. We need to be cut off and engrafted into the true olive tree. Just one tree. Without going through the process of engrafting we cannot return to the original world. When it comes to the engrafting process, it really doesn't matter what position you may hold in this satanic world, because we all hold the same value. We hold the same value because this is the path of True Love.
In the Last Days we will witness on the worldwide scale, one mother, one Cain and one Abel representative. This Abel figure desires to become one elder son, one parent and one king. In order to reach that goal this relationship has to be reversed. In other words, Abel should stand in the plus position and Cain should stand in the minus position. Because of the historical reasons, Cain has to obey Abel no matter what direction comes from Abel. No satanic concept should be allowed there whatsoever.
Does America belong to the satanic culture? (Yes.) Even if you claim American cultural power throughout the world God will spit at it because it has nothing to do with this True Love world. We are referring to restoring elder sonship. As the children of God are we determined to claim that we have inherited the elder sonship from God? (Yes.) Everything comes down to True Love. It becomes the dividing line. Where does the True Love have to be connected? Where can this True Love stem from? That dividing line is your sexual organ.
The Fall can be interpreted as the misuse of the sexual organ. That is the beginning point of the Fall. What then is the right use of the sexual organ? The action is the same, but we are referring to direction and purpose. If the misuse of love has brought about false love, false life and false lineage the only way to restore this is by humanity engrafting onto True Parents and receiving from them True Love, True Life and True Lineage. This is the only way that we can be restored.
How about American women? When you use your reproduction organ are you doing so based upon your own desire, your family's desire, your husband's desire, your nation's desire or what level is it? Who is the owner of your love? (Husband.) Because without having the concept of a couple there can be no conjugal love. No matter how beautiful you might be as a woman, as long as you live alone there is no stimulation of love in existence. No matter how beautiful you might be, don't be too proud of yourself. Everyone absolutely needs a True Love partner.
Likewise in the world of men, you also need your wife, otherwise you will never know conjugal love. Before we seek our absolute object, we have to learn what absolute love is. We desire absolute love and also an absolute partner. But we are not aware what absolute love is. When Adam and Eve first made love with one another, in the course of that action did they hold the concept of True Love, True Life and True Lineage? (No.) If they had waited until their perfection, and then centered upon God had begun their married life, they could have realized True Love, True Life and True Lineage. However, because of their immature fallen act they were unable to truly comprehend.
What can save the world? Not the Messiah but rather your original, true sexual organ. In this fallen world the sexual organ is false. Can we expect the birth of true children from such a place? Can we expect true family, true love, true life and true lineage from this worst sexual organ? (No.) Absolutely not. You need to understand this clearly. The action of free sex means that in every direction the sexual organs are open toward anyone.
Without the function of the sexual organ you cannot even utter the words, true love. True love stems from that place. God created one man and one woman in the beginning. The distinction between man and woman are their sexual organs. The shape is different. One is convex and one is concave so they fit into oneness. Once these two fit together perfectly should it be as tight as can be, or loose. This is a very serious issue that Father is speaking about so don't laugh. Who knew about this truth? Did American youth know about it? (No.) Because once you misuse your sexual organ and you don't fit correctly, you lose the entire universe.
Is there even one single American woman who is qualified to enter into the Kingdom of God at this time? Miserable country. No hope. You have to understand this. Woman brought about the fall. Shameful! All creation is against you because of the misuse of love. You there with the bald. head, do you understand what Father is saying? (Yes.) Have you truly thought about the preciousness and value of your sexual organ. Even if there are millions of male sexual organs, without at least one female sexual organ there is no reproduction and no hope. It is that precious. Do you women understand?
Without your sexual organ functioning can you find True Love? (No.) Those who believe they can find True Love without their sexual organ raise your hands. True Love is the dividing line. The sexual organ direction should be, reversed 180 degrees. In other words, you can restore yourselves from Hell to Heaven. (Amen.) Are you American women saying amen as well? (Amen.) Are you saying woman or amen? (Amen.) Sounds so similar.
This True Love dividing line is the hammer which can destroy the entire satanic world and which can determine your success or failure. This is the key. Therefore, should we tolerate dating among us? (No.) Don't the parents in the secular world expect their children to begin dating at a certain age? (Yes.) Then, are they satanic parents or heavenly parents? (Satanic.) It is usually through the activities of smoking, drinking, party-going, taking drugs and dating that individuals fall into the free sex world. Isn't this true? (Yes.) Then should we be sober or can we get drunk? (Sober.) Can we use drugs? (No.)
All men desire to present themselves as handsome. That is why Father instructed the sisters not to grow their finger nails and not to make up their faces. When you grow your finger nails long and paint your faces you look like foxes who have been hunting chicken, with blood still on the mouth and trying to pretend not to have killed the chicken. [Laughter] Don't laugh. Father has observed the trend among modern women to make their faces up with a pale-as-death looking color. In the English language we use the term "fox" or "snake" to describe someone who is sneaky.
In this fallen reality, the wrong use of the male and female sexual organs can be likened to a snake. The woman's sexual organ is like the poisonous mouth of a snake and the man's is like the poisonous head of a snake. In the Garden of Eden, Eve opened that kind of mouth. Do you understand? It is a most fearful place. In that very place the AIDS virus is waiting. Evil people are described as poisonous snakes because they have forked tongues. Eve had two different minds in order to seduce Adam. We can safely say that women have two tongues at least. They can have up to ten tongues. You have a tendency to cheat on your husbands.
Between men and women, who tends to lie the most? Both of them lie, but husbands usually use their lying in their outside work relationships. On the other hand, women tend to lie at home. In this sense, women are more evil. This is true. Looking at the secular human history, up until World Wars I and II, there was no actual liberation of woman or equality for women. However, in modern history American women have taken the position of the queen in their families, only because America, centered upon Christianity, is in the position of the bride to receive the bridegroom, Lord of the Second Advent. That was the privileged position you held.
However, American women have come to misuse this position and have made themselves queens in their homes and used their husbands as servants. You have to understand this. Have you ever heard of the phenomena of streaking in America? (Yes.) What is it? (Running naked.) Men and women both practiced this. In the Last Days they took off their clothes and became hippies. This phenomena was a misuse of God's original ideal.
Because of these kinds of trends in modem history and the propagation of free sex, now there is a tendency growing that young people feel they don't need to have children. Because they are involved in so many ugly practices they cannot see the value of children. Their original mind has the desire to have their own children, but because of so much corrupt practice in their lives they are unable to activate the desire of their original minds. What is the dividing line between good and evil? The human sexual organ.
As the founder of the Unification Church, Father never imagined himself having to tell you about this truth of the sexual organ. However, he ends up by giving this truth to you. You laugh, but this is not a laughing matter. Father has no other choice. Because without this organ, no blood lineage and no human history will exist. That organ is the starting point of the ideal world, ideal nation, ideal home, ideal man and woman. Is this true? (Yes.)
With what do our five senses wish to become united? Our sexual organ. Is this right? (Yes.) When there is the sound of True Love the five senses immediately cling to that sound. Once you find your True Love partner, even if you are blind and your nose is stuffed up, still you will be wide awake to receive and enjoy your True Love. Will you forget hunger in the presence of your True Love? (Yes.) That is true. Once you are truly in love with your ideal spouse, no matter who offers what to you, you just go with your love. Would you choose money or your True Love? (True Love.) What about ten doctorate degrees or your True Love? (True Love.) How about the entire world or your True Love? (True Love.) What then is True Love? Where is the True Love house, True Lineage house? (The sexual organ.) Is this true? (Yes.)
Once the sexual organs between men and women become totally united then that is where we find peace, freedom, happiness and eternal love. Is. that true? (Yes.) If one woman carries $1000 in her purse, which would she protect the most, the $1000 or her sexual organ? (Sexual organ.) If you have $1000 you always close it tightly inside of your bag so that no one can touch it. However, when you meet a handsome, ideal looking man, will you keep your sexual organ tightly intact or will you give some part of your mind to that person? Which one? (Totally stay away.) You are laughing but this is a serious issue Father is sharing with you. This is the very cause which destroyed humanity. Also it is the determining point as to whether you will become a victor or a failure. Everything depends upon this.
Americans generally appreciate straightforward talk rather than ambiguous talk Therefore, on this May 1 Foundation Day, Father's talk gives everything in real color. Vivid color. Since this is the forty-third anniversary day of HSA-UWC have you found anything which you can keep as most precious? (Yes.) When you go home and are alone with your spouse, please follow Father's advice.
Some people cherish their spouse's handkerchief and keep it with them throughout their entire life. But this is not comparable with having a part of your spouse's sexual organ with you for eternity. As long as you carry some part of your spouse's sexual organ with you then whenever you meet a good looking man or woman these symbols from your spouse will warn you. You will hear a voice admonishing you. Since you have heard this vivid explanation from True Father, those of you who feel you do not need such a thing, raise your hands.
All the time that Father was explaining this particular situation you were all laughing. However, now you all look more serious about it. Those of you here who feel they will make sure to carry such a momentum of their spouse with them always, show your hands to Father. What about you there, don't you want to do so? [addressing a member of the audience] [Laughter] Again, those who are willing to do this, raise your hands. It is not by force, but voluntary.
This is a very serious subject. Since Father has given this direction to you here at Belvedere this will go out to the entire world. If the entire world population would follow this spirit and discipline, then the entire world would turn toward God. (Amen.) [Applause] Once we have the true determination to follow what Father has taught us this morning, we cannot turn back to the satanic world, not even one single degree. This means we must totally stay out of the satanic realm. We must not turn back even one degree, because in order to adjust this one degree of deviation would take millions of years when we go to the spiritual world. This means there is no power to erase this one deviated degree. This one deviated degree will lead to a life of pain eternally. Do you want your spouse to be united with you and focused upon you one hundred percent or only ninety percent? (One hundred percent.) Why? Because this united True Love is like a thread that will hold the entire ancestral tree of the wife and husband together. There should not be two threads, but only one.
The beginning of human history to the end can be connected through this one True Love thread. If I begin to run, then millions of people within history would be pulled by me. That kind of conviction should be there. Therefore, let's adjust our five senses with our spouse's five senses now and forever, figuratively speaking that is. Once you are accustomed to the smell of your spouse that is the only smell for you. With your True Love nose you should be able to smell your parents, your husband, your children and whoever belongs to your family realm of True Love. You should feel good through their smell. Not through other people's smell. Do you kiss your spouse? (Yes.) There are four different types of kissing -- with the lips, with the teeth, with the tongue and throat. While you are kissing your spouse your tongue might reach to your husband's throat and choke him to death. If he gets a strong thump on the back just before he dies and flies to the wall and falls down, still he will claim to be happy. [Laughter]
Today is the forty-third birthday of the Unification Church, but Father doesn't know what it is he is talking about here? (Laughter) The breasts of a woman belong first to her husband. Also her sexual organ should be occupied only by her husband. Second, your children follow your husband to use them. Do you know why women have to endure pain in order to give birth to children? You have to stretch your entire internal organs right up to the bone in order to create enough space for the baby to come through. Do you love your husband or your children most? (Children.) Why children more? Who stretches your sexual organ to the maximum? (Children.) What about your womb, who occupies your womb? (Children.) By doing so you will never forget the memory of having your child.
Those with many children have a tendency to stay away from their husbands. Both your husband and your children utilize your sexual organ. However, your children maximize it more than your husband does. In the family it is usually the mother who sacrifices the most for the sake of the children. Those mothers who raise more children become more rounded. Those mothers who live with their husbands long and raise many children will become like the earth, very rounded and harmonious. The earth doesn't complain to you. That is the way you mothers become the queens of love in your families. If, within your community, you appear to be the one who raises many children without difficulty and serve your husband well, you will be respected and recognized as a well-rounded wife and mother. Through this your entire family will be uplifted.
In order to create that kind of family it takes more than just the wife's effort. Of course the husband needs to give his cooperation as well as the children. Your entire community will want to duplicate the same quality of the family as your own. But the major role should be played by the mother of the family. Women are in the position to adjust the planet Earth and become its owner. Women represent a flat space, it is the space everyone wants to come and rest upon. How about you? Mothers should become the owners of the Earth. You should embrace all the creatures of the Earth.
As you raise your children you should also extend your love and care to other children. Do you understand? (Yes.) At the time of the Fall, humanity lost Adam, his Bride and the Archangel. Therefore in the Last Days, the Adam figure, the Bride figure and Archangel should be united into one. Then the Archangel position should be replaced by the restored Archangel. The entire female population should be considered as one single female bride. The entire women of the world are in the position of Eve. That is the position of Bride to receive the Bridegroom.
All women should be in the position of branches of True Mother in terms of role playing. Then go back to your family and restore your children, Cain and Abel, united into one centered upon you, then return to the bridegroom. True Mother is in the position of the first wife and all the rest of the women are in the position of concubines to the bridegroom. That is the process of restoration through indemnity. The original wife has to go through the second wife in order to
be restored. The course to the Kingdom of God is through one woman. Not two women together, but one woman who gave birth to the elder son. In the Last Days everything will be in the reverse order.
In the secular world we will witness a great deal of divorce taking place. Those who become the concubine or second wife to some man, are the ones with more experience of men. Through their experience, the first wife also will learn about the world of men. In this secular world there are men who are "gigolos" and take advantage of women. Father wants you to understand the reality of this fallen world. To where then shall we turn? To the world prior to the Fall.
In the world they refer to modern technology and the computer industry, but Father refers to these as the life of hobbies. Do you like that? (Yes.) When Father refers to hobby, he is not referring to the secular idea of hobby. Father is referring to the things that you do with genuine motivation and gain true joy from doing. We don't have a proper word for this activity, therefore we are referring to it as hobby.
Once this reversing of order is complete we will be at the beginning of the ideal world. This is the point where God and the ideal world was divided. Once we restore this back again, then God and the ideal world can join with us. From the worldwide level where Father won the victory, coming down to the national level which will be accomplished by our tribal messiahs, then down to the original family level. This then becomes the ideal world. God follows True Father all the way down through your completion of tribal messiahship and comes back to this original point again. [Referring to the diagram on the board) However, God cannot come down directly, because we have to restore the failure of Jesus. The Lord of the Second Advent restores Adam's failure, the failure of Jesus' time and returns to this original point.
This is the way that we are able to restore the worldwide scale Elder Sonship, together with God. This is how we can begin to build the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven. The family was lost in the Garden of Eden. This is the transitional turning point. From the family level this Kingdom of God on Earth will begin to be built and expanded horizontally to the worldwide level. Even our Blessed couples have not had the opportunity to live together with God and True Parents in the same family. We absolutely need to accomplish this. Do you want to have this experience? (Yes.)
When True Father comes to visit your home who is the master or owner of your family? (True Father.) What about your property? (True Father.) True God. It should all belong to God. The concept of God we all held until this point was one where we thought that God should come down and save us. But in the original sense, God doesn't need to save us. Rather God is the One who can dwell with us. Everything should be restored through the completion stage and bequeathed to our children. This is the place where God can dwell together with us. [Father addresses one sister in the audience] This bracelet on your arm, to whom does it belong? Every single possession of ours should begin from God. All of our belongings, money, property and so forth, should originally be returned to God. From God all things should return to the restored Adam and Eve. Then through the connection of True Love we are entitled to receive everything back again.
Once we reach the point where we can dwell with God we will begin again from the individual, family, society, nation and world to build the ideal world. In whatever community we may live, we should hoist our Unification Church flag high so that we may welcome everyone. This flag will indicate that this is the family of True Father. True Parents will be welcomed as well as true family members and whoever may come. Wherever we see the Unification Church flag hoisted, you should be able to stay in that family for a week or so without feeling any resistance, because you belong to that family. Therefore, you can work with them and help them. If that family wants you to remain with them longer, then you may do so.
Centering upon True Love, dwelling with God and True Parents, working for the sake of the entire world is the same wherever you may go. What is True Father doing now? Father is originally in the position of the Elder Brother and Elder Son to the entire humankind. He is also in the position of King of Kings, the Lord of the Second Advent as the Messiah and True Parent. However, in reality Father is in the lowest place possible as the Eldest Son and Messiah in secular terms.
When Father goes to South America and visits the farm, he walks around there barefoot just like a farmer. Because Father sees the rest of the farmers in South America walking around barefoot, so Father has to follow that tradition. For example when you see a tiger, does it wear shoes? How about the bear? Try it with bare feet and you will find it is more convenient and you have more freedom. However, here we have snow, rain and cold to contend with which makes it more difficult. But in South America it is easier. Father also had to deal with mosquitos and was bitten so badly. As Father was dealing with this military regimen of mosquitos, Father told them to
have a competition to see which of them could suck more blood from the Messiah. That is why Father feels he is the one who attracts mosquitos the most.
Likewise, when Father goes fishing, Father feels that the biggest fish will come to his hook That is strange but true actually. God works in mysterious ways. Do you understand Father? (Yes.) Once we reach this point [indicating to the diagram] wherever Father may go, whatever Father may do, there should be no boundaries. No legal, national, or racial boundaries so that Father can work freely to restore the entire world. Those who will welcome True Father if he comes to visit your family, please raise your hands. When would you like Father to visit your family? (Now.) Suppose Father would visit your home at midnight. This would be long after dinner and way before breakfast. What would you do? Even if it is midnight would you immediately prepare dinner and be ready to serve Father or would you make him wait another six hours until breakfast time? Since the Messiah comes like a thief in the night, in order to meet that criteria you have to prepare Father's meal every single meal time and wait for him. Can you do so? (Yes.)
As you know, Father has been educating up to 3,600 Christian ministers in South America. The last one was the fifth Divine Principle workshop which took place in Montevideo, Uruguay from April 22-24. However, since Father had to deliver an important message in Washington, D.C. on April 16 he had to be in the United States during April. Therefore, Father gave direction to the missionary in Uruguay to deliver Father's message to over 800 Christian ministers. The staff members who were administrating and managing this conference were praying so hard that in New York Father began to feel their desire to have him there for the opening session of the conference. Therefore, Father immediately turned around and flew to Uruguay and gave the message to the ministers there. Then he turned around within a few hours and returned to the United States. Father spent literally about thirty hours in the plane, back and forth, just to deliver his message because of the staff members' prayer. Do you understand? (Yes.) (Applause)
While Father was travelling in Korea, one family was praying so intensely to be able to receive True Father to their family. This caused Father's car to turn the corner and arrive at their house. Father ended up visiting them. Not because Father wanted to go, but because he was pulled there by the power of their prayer. The most fearful armament is your genuine prayer. Prayer is so powerful that even donkeys will give you direction and the entire creation will tell you what to do.
In terms of maintaining prayer conditions, who is usually more faithful, Western people or Eastern people? (Eastern people.) Koreans or Japanese? (Koreans.) Japanese women or American women? (Japanese women.) In your opinion which is more powerful, the prayer of American members to keep Father in America, or the members in foreign countries who are praying to receive True Father? (Foreign members' prayer.) If you truly enter into a sincere and genuine prayerful spirit, then on this day of May 1, these grounds at Belvedere should be covered by American members. However, Father doesn't see so many in attendance. When Father sees this reality, do you think he will be more drawn to America or feel inclined to stay away?
When Father was giving his world speaking tour last year in the African countries thousands upon thousands of black brothers and sisters gathered. They were so desperate to receive even one more message from Father. There faces were so inspiring and attractive to True Father that he cannot forget it. But when Father comes to speak to you American members he feels more like kicking your butts. In such circumstances would you rather remain in America or go to Africa? (Africa.) Those who are willing to go to Africa, raise your hands. You are strange people. You are not Americans. You are a different breed.
Parents usually feel more concerned for those of their children who are in unfortunate circumstances. When buying clothes for their children they would automatically buy first for their more unfortunate children. Which side is more affluent, North or South America? (North America.) Then Father can say that he wants to take all of the investment and result that he has harvested in North America and bring it to South America. Do you welcome that? (Yes.) If Father gives up on North America what would you do? If Father leaves America what would you do? This land of America would be very sad. In the midst of persecution, ever since coming to America, Father has observed the nature and shed many tears here. We cannot forget the friend who shared tears together with us. Nor the friend who was there when we were in pain and sorrow. Do you understand? (Yes.)
In order to discover the truth which Father has shared with us he did so by observing nature. Human beings are changeable and they opposed Father. Do you understand? In observing the world of humankind, we see that they are all involved in conflict, cheating and destroying one another. However, in the world of creation, everything is jointly cooperating one with another in order to have each species prosper. Then why is it that the highest created being is in such a bad way? What is the cause? That is the way Father continued to question. If this is the reality, how can we interpret this reality? Therefore, there must be something wrong with humanity who are like broken machines which God cannot operate. What then is the cause of this breakage? Religion claims it was the Fall of Man.
In observing this world there is sunlight, earth, water and air. What do these elements exist for? They exist in order to maintain and protect the life of all beings. This planet consists of the world of minerals, plants, animals and human beings. Without light, air, soil and water none of these beings can exist. In the case of a tree, how can water travel up to the leaves? Through a capillary reaction the water travels up through the leaves. When we reflect upon these sources of our life and how they are interrelated, there must be an original cause. These are the questions that Father asked in order to find the truth he has given to us.
In the mineral kingdom we see plus and minus and subject and object relationships. The same principle applies to the plant kingdom. Based upon those principles the plant kingdom evolves and continues to exist. The plants alone cannot usually reproduce themselves; they require the assistance of insects, and the wind for their multiplication. Not because of their own desire, but this is the way they are created to be. As the flowers are blooming do they mix themselves with other species of flowers and create something strange? (No.) The species maintain their own identity throughout thousands of generations. There is a strict principle in operation within the world of nature.
Nobody can deny this interrelationship between various species. Within the animal kingdom even the tiniest life form has a male and female element. Scientists have recently discovered this even with minute bacteria. Do you suppose they have some organs which corresponds in some way to the human five senses? (No. Yes.) I don't know. You think about that. Nothing in creation claims not to need the world of partnership. Everything in creation is ruled by the power of love. An eternal concept runs throughout the whole of creation. Just imagine, this almost invisible bacteria has five senses similar to a human being. Isn't it amazing? Such bacteria might be more sensitive than American women. By this Father means the fallen world of humankind, not the original humankind. It is a reasonable conclusion. What do you think?
All of creation exists in plus and minus, subject and object reciprocal relationship which they operate within. Therefore, God loves to create things within a plus and minus relationship. This is God's principle of creation. What is the origin of the universe? Subject and object, or male and female concept which resembles the Original Cause. This is a real question and real answer. Everything exists in a pair system. Two eyes, two nostrils, two lips, two ears, two hands, and so forth.
In the Orient it is customary to use a square piece of fabric to wrap things and carry them. When we wrap something in the material this in itself is plus and minus. However, when we open it up, then inside there might be thousands of different pluses and minuses. This piece of fabric and the object it wraps around represents man and woman. With this scarf we can wrap the entire world. When we wrap the entire world in this scarf there can be thousands of different levels of love inside there. No matter how many varieties of levels there might be, once they are wrapped in this True Love scarf, all of them will feel happy to be included.
Once they know that this is the True Love scarf, do you think these various individual levels of love will want to escape or want to move closer and closer to the center? (Center.) Again, this is the True Love point. [Father draws on the board to illustrate] The entire world will come toward that center where the man of True Love dwells. In other words, not only the human race, but the entire universe can be wrapped in this True Love scarf. Then all existing beings will be drawn to this man of True Love and be used by him. What then is the destination of all existing beings? True Love is their destination.
All existing beings are headed toward the original point where they can discover True Love. This is the place where your sexual organ is. All of creation desires to become a part of the original human beings of True Love. They long to become a part of every aspect of the man and woman of True Love. The central place of such True Love beings is their sexual organs. God's love connects to that sacred place. Darwin was completely wrong in his assumption that the strong destroys the weak, because there is no concept of love relationship within his theory. Because, for the sake of your loving spouse you are willing to sacrifice your life, are you not? (Yes.) This is the principle of True Love.
Within a home of ten or twelve family members, if that family has a small pet dog, that dog will always be drawn to the member of that family who loves it the most. At the New Hope Farm in South America, Father told them to bring all kinds of birds and animals there and have them live on the farm so that we can tame them and feed them just like the original Garden of Eden. Father is considering using a bell to signal the animals to come to feed. Maybe if it rings twice the parrots will come. If it rings three times emu will come. Twenty times maybe sparrows will come. Father wants to experiment to see if these birds will eventually be able to distinguish when it is their turn to feed.
Suppose over one hundred different birds can distinguish a various number of bell rings and come to feed. That would become sensational news. Millions of tourists would be attracted to come to witness this phenomena. The same principle can be applied to the world of fish. Father experimented at East Garden where we have colorful carp fish in the pond. In the beginning they did not recognize Father's directions to them, but as Father continued to give the signal of stamping on the ground at feeding time, then eventually they began to swim toward one spot where Father would always feed them. In this same spirit, if Father has a loud enough bell so that the entire world can hear, then when Father rings the bell, all five races of young people of the world would gather together in order to receive Father's Blessing. [Applause]
In the spirit of True Love everything is possible. Father always talks to the fish when he goes fishing. He tells them that he is there to catch them for the sake of the people who are dying of starvation in the world who are God's children. Father asks them not to feel sad if he catches them. Then when Father fishes, he always releases the first fish caught as a condition. This is like an offering. In other words Father already offers his love to the fish and they will be willing to sacrifice their lives for a greater cause. When Father goes fishing for striped bass there may be as many as fourteen people in Father's boat. But Father will catch two-thirds of the fish caught by the members of that boat. Others on the boat wonder why the fish seem to always bite for Father.
Where there is more love, then more. things will be attracted. Even this small towel here, does it want to be touched by the person with more love or by someone who doesn't care about the towel? (By the person with more love.) Is this interesting? (Yes.) We all have to understand that the cause of this universe is True Love. Who is the center of love? God. What does God want? He wants to have the male and female, plus and minus relationship within His creation expressed horizontally. Man represents the sun and woman represents the moon. Man represents the east and woman represents the west. Through their unity they create the place of equalization so that they both have equal value.
In the beginning God had the concept of male and female and began to create. Everything in creation exists in the pair system. Even the cells of the body exist in the pair system. Every aspect of our body exists in the pair system. The manifestation of God's love is within the aspects of plus and minus, in particular man and woman. Through our unity as man and woman, we are the manifestation of God's. As husband and wife come into oneness the vertical love comes down and is united again. Do you understand? (Yes.) What is the purpose of marriage? As a bride and bridegroom individually they are only half of a human being. But through marriage they become a complete human being centering upon True Love.
Through marriage, concave and convex come into complete unity. This is an absolute eternal fit. The couples love is the place of eternal settlement. They can never separate from one another. This is the universal principle. Once you become totally one as husband and wife, next you conquer God and invite Him into your lives and become united once again. Where does that unity take place? Through the sexual organs. What is the culminating point between God's love and human beings love? If there are two points then God's True Love and human beings True Love can be separated. This is not ideal. Whether we like it not, we have to find one common culminating point where God's True Love and human beings True Love meet. Do you agree? (Yes) The concept of love automatically implies reciprocal relationship. Therefore unless we find this one common culminating point we cannot have God's love and human beings love united into one.
God created everything without the involvement of human beings. However, when it comes to the love relationship God cannot operate alone. God needs human beings, His partner and object of love. God has the eternal life, love and lineage.
Even though God possesses eternal love, life and lineage within Him, all alone he cannot stimulate them to function. He needs His object of love. As a human being we possess love, life and lineage, yet alone one cannot stimulate them. Have you seen your life, love and lineage? Have you touched them? By yourself you cannot do so. This handsome boy Ted here cannot feel life, love and lineage by himself. Yet, as soon as his lovely spouse appears these elements can be stimulated within him. Then he begins to feel love, life and lineage.
The meeting between husband and wife initially takes place at shallow levels through looking at one another and kissing. Then eventually it goes deeper and deeper and higher and higher. That is the way that husband and wife become one. Once you become totally one then you forget your identity and whether you are man or woman, husband or wife. You simply become one and only love exists there. Are you intoxicated by one another or by love? (Love.) Love's military site is the family. The site of the ideal family includes grandparents, parents, husband and wife, children, brothers and sisters and grandchildren. This is the ideal home of love.
Regardless of sex, men and women all have an immense desire to make love. How often do you want to make love? It is natural that men and women, regardless of sex, have the passion to continuously make love. However, we have a restraining order upon us. We are the kings and queens of sexual desire. Since human beings are the highest created beings, then they should become kings of love-making. There is total freedom between husband and wife, even if it takes all day long for forty days. If you do so do you imagine that God would judge you, or would He enjoy watching you?
When you join the spiritual world there may be a competition of who continued love-making for the longest time in the physical world. Wouldn't you like to be the champion there? If you really engage in such long periods of love-making you will never divorce from each other. Your wife will always stick with you. In that world there is no such sword as 'divorce'. Do you understand Father? (Yes.) If your wife constantly follows you wherever you go and wants you to make love, can you ever divorce from her? Do you wives like to see your husbands off in the morning with a kiss or do you just stay back and say goodbye? What is even greater than giving a kiss? [Laughter] In reality, if your husband leaves for work every morning after receiving love-making from you, won't he be happy?
Between husband and wife, who takes the most naps? (Wife.) You take a nap during the day and once your husband returns home from work, instead of greeting him warmly you tell him to go and take a shower. Do you think your husband would like that kind of attitude from you? Having stayed home and rested yourself all day, after dinner you think about making-love again. Who thinks about it more, husband or wife? Please be candid with Father. Usually the husband is tired after coming home from work and only feels like resting. They don't even feel like taking a shower. Therefore if the husband is reminded to take a shower as soon as he arrives home, he just hates it.
You should set a schedule together as husband and wife of how often during a week you will have lovemaking together. Then there will never be conflict between you. Have you thought about it? From now on you have Father's permission to study about love making. It is not a sin between husband and wife. You have that freedom. Once you become the masters of every possible way of love making, then when you join the Kingdom of God in Heaven and you deal with all the various species of animals and birds, once you give them the signal they will all follow you. This is true. There is nothing at all to be ashamed of. Father feels perfectly natural in giving this kind of colorful explanation. It is perfectly natural.
You must remember that God created man and woman as concave and convex in order for them to become totally one. A perfect one. Not two. Forever one! You need to understand this concept. You husbands who have had a suspicion about your wives at some time regarding the man and woman relationship, please show your hands to Father. How about you women? Do you feel in the position that even if your husband holds another woman's arm and walks together, you would never be suspicious of his behavior? Do you stand in that position now? Is it easy? In order for you to become such an ideal wife, you should be able to bring the woman who is your enemy
and offer her to your husband with complete trust in your heart towards your husband. By doing so you will experience the heart of God.
Because of the Fall God lost Eve, who was supposed to be in the position of His daughter and His wife, to the enemy. Remember that. Yet God embraces the satanic world through True Love. Do you understand? Whether we like it or not, we are all destined to take this path. This is how we reach to eternal life. Once we join the spiritual world we have no choice. In other words, if we have committed sins in this physical world, we have to cleanse ourselves before joining the spiritual world. We are the ones who are living in this transitional time period toward the ideal world. Do you understand Father? (Yes.)
At the time of creation of this world God enjoyed His creation. You could say that it was like God's hobby. You American sisters may be unware of this fact, but in the Orient girls who are preparing themselves for marriage spend night after night weaving their future husband's socks, sweaters and even underwear, in order to offer these handwoven garments to her husband when she marries him. These girls gain much joy and excitement from their labor of love. These future brides-to-be often take out these items of clothing and gain joy from looking at them. They will carefully consider every aspect of the clothing, wondering if it might be a little too narrow and if they should expand it a little. They take such joy and care in preparing these clothes for their future husband. Do you understand this feeling?
Have you ever thought of cutting off your beautiful blond colored hair, and using it to weave your husband's socks? Then the top of your head will become your husband's foot cover. Is there anyone here who has ever done this? Have you ever considered that Father may have had the experience of receiving socks made with the hair of a woman which was woven with much prayer? (Yes.) If there is any woman who puts her heartfelt prayerful effort into weaving socks for Father to wear out of her own hair, such a woman will become the champion in that particular area in the Kingdom of Love.
If you want to become skilled in any particular thing it usually takes thousands of times of repetition over and over. Then you somehow obtain the ability to do that task without even thinking. It becomes part of you. Through living with your spouse year after year, you naturally become skilled at love-making with one another. If a couple make love in their twenties and live until they are in their eighties, will their degree of love-making be the same? (No.) In the satanic world if they continue from their twenties into their eighties they will decline. However, in the ideal world they are supposed to increase in the degree of their skill and their joy.
In the world of True Love, as you grow older, you become like poets and philosophers. By observing one strand of hair you can create poetry and even write a book about it. Through looking at one strand of hair of your spouse you are able to trace back a long history. Through this one strand of hair you will be .able to see thousands of years of tears and joy. Your spouse's ancestral history can be seen there. The conclusion is simple: you exist only for the sake of True Love. If you ask that strand of hair if it exists only for True Love it will tell you absolutely yes. Your life experience should not be shallow. It should be deep, wide and high. Do you understand? (Yes.) The love of your twenties and thirties is being practiced for your old age and eternity. These are the characteristics of the world of True Love. Unless we understand and experience the world of true love we can never imagine how God felt prior to the creation and after the creation. The world of True Love is the key to this understanding. If you focus on the purpose and the ideal of God's creation, including God's heart while composing your poetry, that will become the masterpiece of all the art work in the world.
There may be millions of books in the libraries of the world, yet there is no book that has the contents of True Love. Then while holding just one poem that contains the essence of True Love you can laugh at those millions of books. All those famous well-respected scholars and writers are so proud of themselves, but they don't understand the world of True Love. Yet you have written a poem which contains the essence of the world of True Love. There is no comparison between them and you. You can claim to be the owner of the living library. Your work contains the world of creation and the essence of God's heart.
You can claim to understand all four seasons and that the source of all life, multiplication and reproduction can all be found there. On your wife's dresser there are many bottles of creams and lotions, all of which were originally extracted from nature. Isn't that true? (Yes.) Even for that fact alone you should be able to bow down to nature. If you are truly able to appreciate the value of God's creation in one blade of grass, then the entire universe will follow, honor and respect you. The only way we can find God's creation with joy is through studying, observing and dealing with nature. The creation is the means through which we can reach God. If you can truly offer your heart of love to the creation then that is where you will be able to reach to God's heart.
One of the ways that Father reaches God's heart is by going to the river and ocean where he can solely deal with nature. When preparing our bait for fishing, if we put all of our prayer and sincerity into that action then the fish will recognize that. Don't you think the fish will smell the bait before they take it? Comparing a dog and a human being, which one has the most sensitive sense of smell? (Dog.) Make the same comparison between a dog and a fly and tell me which one is more sensitive? You haven't thought about it. That means your sense is pretty dull.
Whatever attracts flies is usually something rotten. Then they come and actually expedite the rotting process enabling that substance to return into the earth more expeditiously. Therefore flies facilitate that process. Do you think that we human beings are playing less of a mediating role between the various kinds of nature? If you truly feel the heart of creation then you will always be welcomed by that world. In such a world, if your body were to be attacked by various germs, such germs would be eliminated. Nothing could harm you. As long as you consume food with love and appreciation it will always help your body. You should have the heart of feeling that not even God -- could enjoy that food as much as you do. Just as nothing can cause God to become sick, we should feel that as long as we consume food with joy and excitement then nothing can make us sick either. Love is able to control everything.
Therefore, let us learn lessons from the creation. Approximately eighty percent of the Divine Principle which Father has introduced to us was discovered through the creation. Father truly loves nature. When Father observed dung beetles forming small balls out of cows excretions and pushing them along, Father was so intrigued. Dung beetles are such tiny insects, yet they form balls so much larger than themselves out of the cows' waste. Then they move these balls of dung with their hips. Father was so intrigued that he picked up that tiny dung beetle, working so hard for hours and hours, and Father was wondering if it was a female bug or a male bug. [Laughter]
Then Father placed a female dung beetle in front of the male dung beetle as it was pushing this ball along. Suddenly the male beetle realized there was a female beetle in front of him and he stopped working and they seemed to communicate with one another. [Laughter] Father was even more curious, wondering what they were talking about. [Laughter] This is Father's character -- once he becomes interested in something he wants to know every aspect of that subject. Even when he sees birds in flight, if there is a bird he has never seen before he won't rest until he catches that bird and studies it in detail. In Korea they say that the birds sing in the morning time because they are hungry. But when they sing in the evening it is in order to attract their mate. Therefore, Father observed birds closely both morning and evening, to see if the sound they made was different.
In terms of creation, Father's interest expanded to everything. In the village where Father grew up there were many trees, but there was not one which Father did not climb up. Father was an expert in tree climbing. Through doing so in his young age he learned how strongly bonded the male and female animals are. Also the strength of parental feeling of animals toward their young. Father would complain because the sun did not rise fast enough so that he could hear the birds singing. Then in the evening he would complain to the sun and admonish it to remain one more hour because he had more work to do. Because of this training at a young age, even now Father feels that before sunrise and before sunset we have more work to accomplish. Father would also wonder what task exists which no one could accomplish. That would be what he would want to do. What was it that God was unable to accomplish? Then Father would want to accomplish it.
In Father's mind God was and is Almighty and He has everything. But alone He cannot create love. Father discovered that. That is the reason for God creating the universe and humankind. From this Father concluded that when God created this world as His object, that He was desirous of His creation becoming much greater than Himself. Just as when the birds nest in a certain place and their young are hatching, if anything approaches the parent birds go crazy. They make such a big noise and threaten you. From this Father learned about God.
Father studied magpies in-depth. He would climb up trees and study the building of their nests. Magpies usually weave strong branches at the bottom and then inside they line it with mud. Then they create holes, following the direction of the wind so that the wind will be able to blow through without destroying the nest itself. Then they lay their eggs. The eggs of the magpies are small and whitish-blue in color. When Father would climb up the tree in order to study the nest the male and female magpie would threaten Father with all manner of noise. But Father would climb up two or three times a day and finally they gave up. They seemed to go along with Father's observation of their nest. [Laughter]
Once they became friendly with Father, there were times when Father would not climb up to observe their nest, especially on rainy days. When the weather was fine again he would climb up to see the nest and the magpies would sit there and welcome him by chirping. Once you become friends with nature then you are able to deal with any level of the creation. As Father continued to have these experiences with the creation, he automatically came to wonder how to make friends with Satan and eventually restore him back to God. Also Father would wonder how he could make friends with Almighty God who doesn't need any money or power whatsoever. How to bring about reconciliation between God and Satan? Father would contemplate these things. If God is love, then how can He achieve His love? Who is God's partner? Father concluded that only human beings could be God's love partner.
Because of the Fall, humanity has become God's enemy. How can we build the bridge of love and reconciliation once again? If you love a piece of art more than the artist does, it would be natural for the artist to give it you, because you value his creation more than he does. By the same token, Father would think that if I love God's creation more than He does then I will become connected to God and He will visit me. Then God will reveal to me the truth of why and how He created this world. The creation is that precious.
If Father thinks about the buildings on Fifth Avenue, he feels at least thirty percent of what is taking place inside of those buildings is cheating and lying. This is true. Do you agree? (Yes.) Those merchants usually boost up prices claiming only to obtain ten percent profit when they know in reality they gain about thirty percent. These merchants who are in competition to one another are always wishing for the others to go out of business. This is the prevailing attitude. Some people go to the extreme of disreputable behavior in order to get rid of the competition. These urban cities are the center of Satan. Father wishes to create a community which can fight against this rotten satanic urban life.
Father realizes that within nature life is genuine and sincere and reveals the truth of life. Whereas the life within urban areas is so rotten. This is the dividing line between the Kingdom of God and Hell. In observing the world of animals, birds and plants there is always a natural order and harmony of existence. However, within urban city life there is always conflict, destruction and evil desires therein. This is a big difference between the two. How we manage to evacuate people out from urban life in the future will become key to solving the problem of environmental pollution. This means being able to evacuate people out from urban cities into the countryside and having them enjoy the natural life of farming and dealing with the creation.
We truly need to be able to convince people that by remaining in urban cities they are headed toward hell. But if they go and live in the countryside and deal with the land, then they are moving toward the Kingdom of God. This is why Father has undertaken a project to address this issue. How far do you imagine that the Unification Church will be expanded? How far will we spread? (Worldwide.) In how many years? Should the entire five billion people of the world join the Unification Church and study the Divine Principle before going to the spiritual world or not? (Yes.) Then if that happens, in the future what will happen to Belvedere? In fifty years from now Father will be in the spiritual world. By then this world will be totally restored and they must pass through the Divine Principle teaching. Then they will all want to come to Belvedere and stand on this podium where Father used to train us. There will be millions of people who will want to see the place and put their feet where Father stepped.
Father established a great newspaper in Washington, D.C. and he has the freedom to sit in the top executive office with luxurious furnishings. Yet Father cares nothing for this, but rather he goes to South America where there is little comfort and many mosquitoes to bother him. The place where Father stays is a holy place, no matter how uncomfortable the external situation is. We all should grow up surrounded by nature. Once we pass away from this physical world, we all, without exception, return to nature again. By observing nature, there are limitless things that we can learn. For example, the things that are found in the northern hemisphere cannot be found in the southern hemisphere. There are many differences from one place to another.
Everything that exists within creation is well-established and in order. Our Unification Church leaders who have been working as ministers are all in a poor situation. Where will you go from now on? You will join the cemetery soon? That is the process of returning to nature. We are born in the nature and we return to the nature. We are destined to have been born from the nature and we live with nature and enjoy our life there. Then we finally return to the nature at the end of our physical lives and return to God again who originally provided the nature.
Father wants to establish kindergarten, elementary, middle and high schools. Father desires children to learn about nature in detail. This is how Father wants them to grow up. If as small children they grow up with nature which never lies or cheats, that is how they will grow closer to creation and closer to God. They will become friends with God. We can best educate children by; having them observe nature how things germinate, grow, bear fruit and then harvest that fruit. Through this they can learn the pattern of growth for human beings as well. Based upon this learning process, Father wants to establish a new tradition, new society, and new heavenly cities. A place where children can grow and prosper safely centered upon God and True Love. [Applause]
This is the place where the world of true happiness dwells. Where people can live in harmony and joy with nature and eventually be elevated into the spiritual realm. A place where they will continue that joyous life. In order to accomplish this goal Father is establishing many small airports and landing strips throughout the world. International airports are far too crowded with many restrictions. But if we have our own small landing strips throughout the world we will be able to travel freely. Father also wants to build ships and boats as well as other vehicles which can be used to transport tourists who come for this hobby industry.
The majority of Blessed couples are international and interracial. Therefore, it is not easy to visit your inlaws because they are thousands of miles apart. In the future there may be airplanes that will carry only those internationally Blessed couples to visit their relatives in various hometowns throughout the world. This is the ideal world? [Applause] When we have enough money you will take it with you and distribute it to your relatives and in-laws. Everything will become your enjoyment. Father has used the word "hobby" to describe these activities, but Father doesn't really like the sound of that word. There is a word in Korean that Father would like you to use. Please repeat after me, jemmi which means hobby with excitement and joy. If we use the Chinese characters with the same sound it means foreigners who live in the United States. Father doesn't want to refer to fallen America, but to resurrected America. Also, using different Chinese characters, but the same pronunciation, this word can mean tasteful.
Father wants you to pronounce it again please. (jemmi.) Every time that you pronounce this word and hear that sound you are experiencing the concept of the enjoyable world that it refers to. How wonderful jemmi is. Do you like that? (Yes.) The hobby culture deals with every aspect of human life: the time of creation; the course of restoration and after the completion. This hobby culture will be there for the excitement, joy and happiness which human beings can experience in life. Do you imagine that only Americans have the privilege of enjoying a life of affluence and joy? (No.) What about people in Africa? Since you are concerned about Africans, why don't rich families here in America bring the poorer families from Africa and give them food and shelter for one month. Do you suppose that American families would accept that proposal? If they refuse then Reverend Moon will do it.
Father will charter big planes in order to bring poor starving Africans to America and give them the opportunity to experience wonderful food in high class restaurants and in rich families' homes. Then return them to Africa again. Even as a hobby the Unification Church will do this. Do you understand? (Yes.) Do you like this way of life? (Yes.) In order for Father to accomplish such a project he needs a lot of money. Are you going to donate money for such projects? (Yes.) What if Father were to launch a campaign to collect the expensive jewelry from American ladies in big cities? Certainly some ladies would participate in such a campaign. Then would they be the blessed ones? (Yes.) Of course they would.
Once again please repeat after Father, jemmi. (jemmi.) Therefore, we will now refer to the hobby industry as the jemmi hobby and jenuni life. Also jemmi fighting and jemmi studying. This concept means to work hard. Do you prefer to use other people's service or do you want to serve others? (Serve others.) If in your small community there are three, Unification Church Blessed couples who have dedicated themselves through hard work so that the rest of the villagers don't have to work, do you suppose these villagers would respect and follow such couples or hate them? Naturally they would follow such couples everywhere. Will you live such exemplary lives from now on? (Yes.) Then make sure that you do it. From Father's message this morning you can conclude that so long as we practice True Love nothing is impossible to accomplish.
All who have received Father's Blessing, please raise your hands. When you received the Blessing did you have the desire to become the champion of all Blessed couples, or did you desire to become like many other secular couples? (Champions.) In order to win the marathon, marathon runners need to practice running that course hundreds of times. The more they practice, the more chance they have to become champions. If as Blessed couples you completely abandon all the secular concepts you learned in the world, and center yourselves on True Love and Father's teachings, then with consistent practice you have the opportunity to become champion Blessed Couples.
Have you ever thought about running 1000 miles in one breath in order to give the greatest hug in the world to your wife? Have you ever held such love for your wife? If you ran such a distance on one breath and then embraced your beloved wife, you would be so happy that you die on the spot. What kind of award does such a man deserve? He deserves the award of the king of champions. Have you counted how many thousands of times you have held your wife's hand? You need to remember such things. Do you keep a record of how often you touch your wife's body from head to toe? Even if you forget to eat your meals, you should never forget to provide enough love to your spouse. (Amen.) [Laughter] You say amen, but you don't actually do as much as Father is describing here. Probably you do so once in a month. [Laughter] If you don't do as Father has described, you are not qualified to be Blessed Couples.
One time Father watched a young couple down in Florida kissing each other in a public place for fortyfive minutes. Father counted. [Laughter] After waiting thirty minutes, Father finally had to run to the bathroom. He hurried to the bathroom and when he returned they were still kissing. [Laughter] Because of that particular experience, Father can now use it as an analogy or teaching tool. Among these American women here, if you had to kiss for three hours maybe none of you would remain here. Have you ever thought about how long a woman can embrace a man? Would the husband or wife last longer? (Wife.) Why wife? Father believes that the husband would last longest. Because within a tight embrace a woman's breast area becomes constricted and uncomfortable. Do you understand? (Yes.) [Laughter]
Through listening to Father's explanation this morning, do you think that there is anything which Father hasn't thought about? [Laughter] It is true. In order to discover the truth, Father has investigated every possible aspect of life. If Father would walk out into the grounds here at Belvedere now, he would be able to distinguish which plants would be good for human health and which are not. Even if Father is left alone in the deep mountainside, he is able to survive. Also, if Father were to be dropped in the middle of the Sahara Desert, within three months Father will have an establishment there. No problem. Don't you think that Father has that kind of potential? (Yes.)
You women who are unmarried virgins here, would you like Father to choose you a husband or would you like to choose on your own? (Father's choice.) Therefore, give your husbands to Father for seven years in order to be trained to become just like Father. Are you willing to give your husbands to Father for seven years of training? (Yes.) Then raise both hands. [Applause] Then if you husbands would really like to see your wives become like True Mother, loving, caring and a woman of good virtue then give your wives to Father and Mother for seven years and they will ensure that your wives become like True Mother. Do you like that idea? (Yes.) [Applause] If you agree to that, then raise both hands.
Remember that today is the forty-third anniversary of the establishment of HSA-UWC, and the topic is The Transitional Era Toward the Ideal World. Therefore, if you have given your promise on this day and you don't fulfill that promise, it will become a condition that you will have to indemnify. What if Father decides to bring you all to Africa, would you welcome that? (Yes.) Some of you have your eyes closed when you responded 'yes'. Father desires to hear a true 'yes' from you. (Yes.) Don't you think that Heavenly Father made True Father pledge himself at so many levels and so many different times? Father always pledged himself to his maximum capacity. Then suddenly he realizes that he is almost eighty years old.
Our number 1 motto is absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Everything created by God was done so based upon this foundation of absolute faith, love and obedience. Not below this, but upon the foundation of this. Do you understand? (Yes.) Adam and Eve were created upon this foundation and should have been in this very spirit of absolute faith, love and obedience. This was the dividing line of Heaven and Hell. If Adam and Eve had followed God in this spirit then they would have belonged to Heaven. This was the first commandment from God. This commandment is the dividing line between Heaven and Hell. Do you understand Father? (Yes)
Father has revealed many new aspects to you all today. Once you make any mistake with your sexual organ you destroy your future in Heaven. You will destroy your life and lose your eternal partner and your ideal world. There is no way around it. Through a husband and wife's love relationship new life will emerge. Through the combining of husband and wife's sexual organs, new lineage will occur. Do you understand? (Yes.) It is a place that will melt everything and recreate everything. Without going through this there is no concept of the heavenly kingdom and even God would depart from you.
The path of True Love is very fearful and also very precious. Nothing can compare with its value. God's absolute original value and power is connected there. This is the law of love that we must observe absolutely. By understanding this truth which Father has revealed to us today, we can understand this topic of The Transitional Era Toward the Original World and apply ourselves toward that goal. From this day on don't even dare to pay attention to anything else. Don't ever lose your true position as husband and wife. Never deviate. If it were at all possible we should be able to place a padlock on one another's sexual organs in order to protect them.
Since Father has revealed the truth to this degree regarding this area of life, then soon Father will create a law concerning this aspect of our lives. There are blessed couples who have deviated and made grave mistakes. But from now on there will be no more toleration for such behavior. We have now reached the place to the entrance of the Kingdom of God. From now on we have to apply the rule which Father has taught us this morning. Do you clearly understand? (Yes.) What day are we celebrating? The forty-third year of the establishment of HSA-UWC. This forty years of life to Father are equivalent to the forty years of wilderness course of the Israelites and 4300 years of human history. Do you understand? (Yes.) This is the time of going over the hill.
We now have to maintain the standard of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience in order to go over that hill. Without making this preparation we cannot go over. Is this clear? (Yes, Father.) Father was thinking of giving just a short talk this morning because after this speech there is a leaders' meeting scheduled. But now it is getting too late. These leaders are the ones who just returned from forty-seven days of training in Korea. [Applause] In particular, the leadership of the Unification Church have not done their mission properly. While Father was accomplishing his mission on the worldwide level, and finally could usher in this precious time period of the era of kingship, our leaders were unable to accomplish their missions. Therefore, Father is now having all the leadership, and eventually all Blessed couples, pass through this 40-day internal workshop in order to make you responsible for the secular world kingdoms and restore them back to God.
During his life, Jesus was supposed to restore the national foundation centered upon his family. Because of the crucifixion this failed to happen. Therefore, centered upon Blessed couples, within three generations, grandparents, parents and children, should be responsible for each nation in place of Jesus. Through restoring the nations of the world to God, is the way that you can establish the heavenly royal family tradition in your mission countries. Because right now there is no royal family in Heaven. Father has to establish and create this both in the physical and spiritual world. However, within this physical world we do not have a heavenly sovereignty. This was originally supposed to have taken place in the Garden of Eden. Adam never came into his heavenly authority because of the Fall. You have to recreate this value again within your family system.
Let us pray.
