Section 1. Our Desire Is Unification
1. Unity
Our wish is unification! What is unification? Our wish is to see the day when we can embrace the 3,000 Li peninsula of South Korea and North Korea as one country. We must bring this wish into reality. Whether we eat, sleep or are awake, coming or going, alive or dead, we must be willing to die for the realization of this dream. It is the wish of the parents, but at the same time, the wish of their children, who are related through blood lineage. (43-153)
What is the goal of the Unification Church? It is unification. Unification is the core. (90-64)
Our wish, what is our wish? Is it to close down the DMZ? [It is unification.] Unification! I am referring to the unification that can be brought by the Unification Church as a sacrificial offering. (56-283)
Well, our wish, what is the wish of our country, Korea? It is to close down the DMZ. Is that right or not? [It is right.] What is the wish of the president? It is to unite the South and the North, by removing the DMZ. And what is the wish of the Unification Church? [The unification of the cosmos, heaven and earth (chun joo)]. It is not only to unite the peninsula of Korea, but also to eliminate (communism in) Russia, the Soviet Union. Such is Rev. Moon's viewpoint. I am not doing this just to eliminate Kim Il Sung and the communists in North Korea. I am doing this to eliminate all communists throughout the world. (85-255)
"Our cherished hopes are for unity. Even our dreams are for unity. We'll give our lives for unity. Come along, unity." We sing this song. So, what is our wish? Do you know why the Unification Church is so busy?
It is because we should work for unification whether we are dead or alive, or are meeting people, or eating, etc. Accordingly, in order for you to bring unification, you should first become the best person in the world. For example, if you are compared to a gimlet, you should be the best gimlet. (20-270)
2. Song Of Unification
Our wish is unification. Right? [Yes.] That is why we have been singing the "Song of Unity" since 1967. Indeed, our wish is unification. (50-250)
I will sing a song that I am going to sing abroad. It is the "Song of Unity." To achieve unification is not simple. In order to bring unification, we need a foundation, but building the foundation is not easy. Let us sing that song together.
"Our cherished hopes are for unity. Even our dreams are for unity. We give our lives for unity. Come along unity. Unity saving the people, Unity saving this nation, Come here quickly, unity, Come along, unity."
In order to promote this task, you should sing this song as often as possible. Even when Father is not here in Korea, even if you undergo difficulties in your life, I ask you to persevere, thinking of this song. This is what this people wish for. Next, all of the church members should go to a holy ground and pray there.
Until Father returns, I ask you to pray in the church on a rainy day, and at the holy-ground on a clear day. Please pray about unification in particular. The South and the North, democracy and communism, and heaven and earth, are all separated, but you should pray to become a patriot who can unite the nation, a saint who can unite the world, and a loyal son or daughter who can unite heaven and earth. God is looking for such a person.
Loyalty and filial piety are fulfilled in a difficult situation. Unity is not achieved at a high place but at the very bottom place. It comes at the crossing point of life and death. Where did God's heart and Jesus' heart meet? It was on the cross where his life was crossing the point of death. Therefore, you should understand that this is where a new history started, and you need to pray for the unification of the South and the North. Then what should be done to bring about the unification?
First, you should love the 30 million people of South Korea. Otherwise, you cannot bring unification.
You should love the entire people of Korea, not only your own sons and daughters. You should not love only your own province where you are living, but also your nation. And you should love all other small towns and North Korea. For this, you should pray hard at the holy ground with a heart of ownership, and with a loving heart. Centered on the Unification Church, all religions should be unified. And, centered on religion, South Korea should be unified. And centered on South Korea, South Korea and North Korea should be unified. And centered on the unified Korea, Japan should be unified. And centered on Japan, the USA should be unified. And centered on America, Germany should be unified. If these four major nations are united, the world will be automatically united. (22-152)
We should accomplish the unification of the South and the North. If it cannot be done by Korean people, it should be done, even by mobilizing other peoples. With this in mind, we should become a resistance corps that fights against communists, the worldwide foes, by inheriting the spirit of the March 1st Movement that fought against Japan (during its occupation of Korea). Such a resistance corps is the Unification Church. Bearing this in mind, we should sing the Song of Unity. (45-185)
3. Unification Should Be Achieved In Father's Lifetime
In what time period are we living now? We are living in a providential age. Along with the forceful and courageous sound of your pledge, or the sound of your youthful hearts beating and the uproars of the corps that is running towards the enemy camp, thinking: "Everything depends on this," then, billions of spirits in spirit world who have been waiting for this moment will welcome you with applause. Even the spirits in hell will say: "Please be victorious. Please. I will do it, even crawling down." In a few years, such a breathtaking moment will come to this land. So even if you need to go to a battleground and you might fall down to the ground, vomiting blood, you should fight courageously, all the way to the end, for the cause of righteousness.
By so doing, if you offer your life and become a loyal subject for heaven, everything will be resolved. Thus a new history will begin right there. Since we have been preparing ourselves for this moment with such a standard, and since we have been keeping a wish in our hearts to secure this oneness, have we not been willing to be rejected by our own family, our own nation, and numerous religious denominations? For the sake of such a critical, final day that God, history, and all humanity have been awaiting, many people sacrificed so much, with a wish that they could realize a solemn and magnificent victory? As it can be connected by the stroke of my own sword, and my own words and deeds, is it not an unprecedented matter? If I can fight in the actual battleground, seeing it with my own eyes and feeling it with my senses, what life can be more fruitful than this? This, we should realize and feel. (157-352)
Do you want to run to the North over the DMZ, fighting courageously or not? If you die without stepping on the soil of Father's hometown, you will be accused in the spirit world. Would you not want to visit Father's hometown at least once? It is not a handsome looking one. But you do not want to go there for its external look, right? [Yes.] Then, Father will tell you about his personal story, how he did such and such in the olden days. He fished right here and that fish was such and such kind. He played right here, enjoying such and such games, etc. Then, they will sound so real. I bet you would like to do all of those things yourself. Would you or would you not? [We would.] When I was crossing the DMZ, I determined, "Although I am now crossing this place alone, in the future, if I need to go over again, I will come with a large crowd of people so that communists will flee to Northern Manchuria." I have not given up that determination yet. Do you understand? [Yes.] Would you like to go there? [Yes.]
Then, you should chase the Kim Il Sung regime out to Manchuria, and I should be informed that all the territory from Yalu River is safe. Thereafter, I will return to my hometown and hold a huge banquet. I will eat barbecue ribs with four hands, including shadow hands. You know that two shadow hands make four hands, right? Well, I'd like to create a fantastic feast there. My desire is to have a greater feast than Kim Il Sung's 60th birthday one. I do not mean to have such a feast for my own 60th birthday. I am saying this because we can have such a great feast to celebrate the day of liberation from communism and the founding of a new nation. Do you understand? I will be in trouble if I pass away without holding such a banquet. From this perspective, what is our wish? [It is unification.] (57-363)
In the spirit world, after laying the foundation of victory on this earth as one nation, after determining a realm of victory at the place where spirit world and earthly world are united, prior to offering a ceremony of victory, if Father is no longer on this earth, you will become pitiful people. Therefore, you should think: "Well, then, we cannot go the path of parents. Then, we who attend True Parents with the title of children, must restore this nation before we die." Only when that is done, will Jesus be liberated from his grief, and the wish of God who sent Jesus after 4,000 years of the history of restoration be realized. This, you must understand. (43-154)
4. Prayer For Unification
Father, I pray that today will be a clear day with bright morning sunshine. With you, I know the sorrow of a pioneer in walking the sad course of restoration in which I shed tears, trying to forget the pain and suffering of yesterday. Who will be responsible for this world? Father, please have compassion on this people of Korea who cannot be revived unless the South and the North are united and go through the course of struggling, and unless they climb up a wall of grief from the pain inflicted from the taking of their own flesh and blood. Forty years ago, when this nation was liberated from Japan, Christianity had been united with your son, me, in 1940, Korea could have then become the leading nation in the world. I cannot forget the historical past in which I had to suffer from sorrowful tempests and snowy winds from the North, re-indemnifying 4,000 years of history. Even at the point of stimulating my mind due to the tragedy, since I can feel the misery of Heaven, I struggled in pain and You brought the foundation of today's victories, leading and guiding the course of the world. I do not know what to do in gratitude for Your heavenly fortune.
Beloved Heavenly Father, please do not forget the Unification Church members, who, with hearts pierced with love for You, wish for the day when they could entirely offer you a realm of liberation for all humanity by lifting and carrying them to You, climbing up through the clouds of the grief of heaven. In order for us to bring that day, we are to carry out the responsibility of bringing the unification between South Korea and North Korea. In order to fulfill this destiny, we must continue to move forward. I reflect upon my 40 years of life that parallel the lost history of humanity, through which I have been taking busy steps in the entire world of six continents. (12/13/87)
When thinking of how You, Heavenly Father, have been waiting for the day when the nation that the entire creation desires will be established, I realize that we must bring unification to South Korea and North Korea. Whenever I think of this, Father, I again realize that we should not spend our life in dozing. We should remain awake, offering all of our loyal hearts and minds in order to carry out our mission given by You, Heavenly Father. In order to do this, we need to go through a course of battles. Please guide all of us to become the people who can feel this in our hearts with more depth. (50-34)
Father, who knows the situation of division between South Korea and North Korea, how pitiful are the people of South Korea and North Korea, who cannot trust anyone under these difficult circumstances! Please guide them so that they shall be able to cope with their difficult circumstances, looking at their hearts with faith in You. Please allow them to become the people who understand that the environment can be recreated as long as the center exists. I know that by having the world inherit the foundation of this victory, the liberation realm of all humankind can germinate from this point on, and a new, transitional time of history that will be praised by all future generations to come is approaching. I know that all of this is from Your grace. I earnestly pray and pray that You alone will have dominion over all of this, by allowing this day to come with Your blessing, and by walking the foundation of the grief of South Korea and North Korea. Please guide us to become a group of people of the Unification Family who can understand the immobile will of Heaven and Your circumstances in which You cannot always answer people's calling to You, and who can go their way solemnly, pushing themselves for this on their way. (11/8/87)
A nation is divided into two: South Korea and North Korea, as the crossing point of democracy and communism. The Republic of Korea entered a way of destiny, a way of tribulation, that it must inevitably go. Although it has been struggling in sorrow and loneliness, in the position of being struck first, it is now facing the victory of tomorrow. Please allow this people to be bold and strong. (31-183)
You alone know for sure the way to lead 30 million people in South Korea and how to embrace the 50 million people of both South Korea and North Korea who stand in front of You. I earnestly pray that the victorious day of founding the nation of Heaven can come as soon as possible, by holding this people in Your hand and bringing them to Your will, through erecting the right group of people, choosing the right leadership. Father, I wish and pray that the day of unification that we have been dreaming of can arrive as soon as possible. (63-318)
Father, please allow this people to see the day of victory along with the realization of Your own dream and wish, by loving, educating and guiding this peninsula that is divided into the two nations of South Korea and North Korea. Father, we know that Heaven has been working behind the scenes, for the realization of Your ideal nation, knowing that the South and the North will eventually communicate freely with each other. Please let the hearts of all leaders move Your heart during the time-period when they are working for this. By so doing, please allow countless groups of people to follow the way You want them to go which is an unavoidable way for them to go. Please guide and protect this people and nation. (61-289)
Father, please remember this pitiful people of Korea, with a history of half of 10,000 years; who have been living like orphans; who have been treated contemptuously like beggars half-clothed in hunger, but still maintaining faith in the existence of God. And whenever they were cold, with a yearning heart, they prayed, "Although our parents are dead, God, please help us." Because you know such a relationship has been continued throughout history, You looked for this Korean people, and despite countless ordeals, You still desired to bless them. However, this people betrayed you. Father, since the liberation, the Unification Church has been walking a course of numerous tribulations. It endured incredible unfairness that could not be described to anyone. Even in the place where they felt their teeth ground and muscle stretched, they came this far, thinking of God's sorrowful days. We know that we should become the kind of children whom You can be proud of for eternity. I wish and pray that You will continue to love this people and embrace them in Your bosom. Who will take the responsibility for the unification of the South and the North that are being crossed? We know that You, Heavenly Father, are the only one who can do it. Since we know that due to our inadequacy, we need to become a group of people who are willing to go the way of death on the cross, offering all of our hearts and minds, we realize that we should overcome the peril of this nation, patiently longing for Your bosom and waiting for the day of Your victory. Please let everyone understand this clearly in his or her heart. I sincerely wish and pray for this. (63-354)
5. Take Responsibility For Father's Concerns
Father, unless we fulfill the mission of the Abel country, subjugating the Cain nation, we cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven, so please protect us who are walking a path of such destiny. No other people are more pitiful than the one without their own nation. However, the era of orphans for the group of people who have already suffered during a period of tribulation is gone, for they now have come to enter the era of having Parents.
But again, even such an era has passed from them, for they have now entered an era when they need to be concerned about establishing a new nation of tomorrow, and love that nation and its people, in the relation of tribes, people and the nation. A time when the spirit of people that has been buried in Your heart can be exposed, escaping from the fallen world, is now approaching us closely. Yet, if questioned as to the number of people who can be truly patriotic sons and daughters, Father, I feel that I need to repent before You in tears. Father, please forgive me. Until now, when looking at the group of people who have been following the course of Your will on the front-line, saying that they will liberate the grief of people who shed blood along the way, I know that there are many who worry You, but not many of those are in the position of taking responsibility for Your concerns.
When understanding such a situation and reality, I realize that there again remains a way of the cross that I need to bear in the future. Since the way of the cross through which I can rest in peace for eternity still remains, on behalf of his people, your son would have to pioneer a way of battles and a way of destiny that they need to go, by taking strong steps. Since this people are divided into the South and the North, in their hearts, for they are grieving, their separated family relations along with the division of their own people. Please let us realize that we are the ones who are responsible for bringing unification to the South and the North, liberating people from that grief.
The North above the DMZ is in the position of Cain, and the South that is below the DMZ is in the position of Abel. Thus, should the people in the South first have loyal and filial hearts towards You? Since erecting the foundation of faith first is the mission of this people, we should be able to love Heaven first before loving this people. However, no one knows that this is a condition that can determine the life and death of this people. For this reason, the group of pitiful people of the Unification Church, as representatives of this nation, should stand on the front-line in loving God.
Unlike the people of the North who unwillingly surrendered themselves and follow the direction of the enemy, we should excel them by 100 times or even 1,000 times, by willingly, not forcibly, taking responsibility for this mission with a free spirit. In such a way, unless we set the standard of loving this nation and this people first, we cannot be restored to the side of Heaven. This we must clearly understand. (31-180)
Beloved Father, the miserable history of Korea and its people, and all difficulties that Korea is faced with in chaos, are reflecting all of the chaos of the world. We now understand that we are in the age of unifying the South and the North, and the East and the West that have been divided throughout history, and through the sacrificial offering of the Unification Church, by going a course of sacrifice, we are to march forward to receive the age of a new heavenly fortune. As we pledge this before you, lifting our two arms, please accept them not only as representatives of each nation but also as representative of all humanity. (168-67)
Section 2. The Realm In North Korea
1. No Freedom Of Movement In North Korea
If you go to North Korea, you will see that for a long time the people there have had no freedom of movement. Even if a person wants to go from one hamlet to another, he will never be allowed to go alone. The residents of a particular hamlet cannot come and go as they please. Even if someone says he wants to visit the hamlet of a relative, he won't be allowed. It doesn't matter even if it's his son. Even if a person wants to visit the hamlet where his son lives, he can't go without permission from the Party.
Horizontal contact is absolutely forbidden. They just want people to follow the orders given to them vertically, from above. A married man can't visit his parents-in-law. Parents can't visit the relatives of their son-in-law. They can't even go to see their own son or daughter. If it's summer, the authorities will spread the rumor that there is an epidemic, and so anyone wanting to go to another hamlet must first receive an immunization. Who is going to get immunized? If anyone does go to get a shot, the authorities won't just give him the shot and let them go. They will ask all sorts of questions about his purpose in going. Because of this questioning, the person will decide not to get the immunization and cancel his trip. No one will go through with the immunization and actually make the trip. Do you understand what I'm saying?
In North Korea, the authorities don't allow the conditions to exist in which people can say that they want to travel. They will demand to know every detail of a person's travel plan. If the person refuses to be dissuaded, then they will notify the party representative at his destination that so-and-so will be making a trip there, and the representative will have to give his permission before the person is allowed to leave. They make it so difficult to make a simple trip that most people just decide to spend their entire lives in the place of their birth, and never leave. Even the offspring of a wild boar can move from place to place in search of food. Are human beings inferior to a baby wild boar? Is a human being less than the offspring of a dog? Because people there have so little freedom of movement, it is very easy for the authorities there to catch any spies that are sent there from the South. People there have to carry about a dozen certificates.
A person who wants to go anywhere has to successfully negotiate all these obstacles and make certain that he receives official permission for his plans. Then, when he gets to his destination, he is subjected to more questioning. The authorities there will keep him under close watch the whole time he is there to see whether his conduct is consistent with the stated purpose of his trip. If he does anything that is outside the scope of his approved plan, there will be no mercy. That's the kind of society it is. Do you understand what I'm saying? Horizontal relations are not permitted there. (163-196)
2. Children Used To Undermine Family Structure
In North Korea, even children in first grade elementary school are used as spies. Children are often given awards at school. If they report something new, then the school gives them an award. The system is set up such that children will report to school authorities about statements made at home by their mothers and fathers. When the boys and girls arrive at school in the morning, they secretly report about what their mother and father said at home. Then, there is a person on the school staff who acts as a link to the party. Sometimes, a child will be given instructions. "Go ask your mother and father whether they have ever said such-and-such." That's what they do. They phrase the question in such a way that the parents can easily answer in a way that will brand them as reactionary elements. In this way, they classify the entire population, starting with the parents of school children.
Using this kind of method, the authorities determine whether each parent is supporting the party. This way, they make it so that the parents cannot trust their children. When children sense that their parents do not trust them, they begin to place more trust in their teachers at school. So, the children become thoroughly linked to the state through the schools.
Thus, a structure is built centering on the schools, with the state in the background, and then it is elevated to the level where the children refer to Kim Il Sung as their "father." At school, the children are told: "Your parents don't trust you" and then they are made to gather even more information. They create a split between parents and children, and distrust is the natural result. They can't trust each other. That's what they say. Who do the children trust more? They place more trust in their teachers. This is the way that the authorities assimilate school children into the system and make them work for the state.
Then, if a relative should visit their home, the children are required to report everything that was said. If a relative enters the home and leaves, the children absolutely must file a report. They will be severely scolded if they don't write down in that report everything that was said during the visit. That's the way it is. So, if the mother and father start a conversation with each other at home, the young children will keep going in and out of the room so that they can hear everything that is said. The older sister will hear a part of the conversation and the younger sister will hear another part. Then, they will compare notes with each other in order to make their report.
That is how the organization is structured. Centering on the reports of the students, then, people who are guilty of making statements or actions of a reactionary nature are branded as impure or deviant elements. These people will then have their rations cut. Because of this, people keep their mouths shut even when they can clearly see that something is wrong. Even though they have mouths, they cannot speak. If they say something critical and are found out, they will have their rations cut. (163-165)
Kim Man Chul led 10 members of his family in an escape from North Korea by sea in 1987, and his sons have given public speeches in which they describe the situation there. It's just the way I told you. If anything, it's even worse. It's even worse. Mr. Kim's sons said that people go to work in the morning and aren't able to return until midnight. What they say in their speeches is correct. People don't leave their children at home. What do they think of the home? They say the home is a den of reactionary elements. If you read Marx's writings on communist theory, you see that he considered the family to be an idol. He also said that the family is the origin of exploitation.
This is why they make absolutely sure that people do not develop an interest in their families. The children are embraced at school and educated in this way. Children are taught that the home is not a place where they can live with their hearts at ease.
It's not a simple matter, then, for us to step forward and say we will deal with this reality in North Korea and liberate it. (163-187)
3. Reality Of Life In North Korea And Military Preparations
In this moment, we must not forget about our compatriots who are living under North Korean communist rule. After Korea's liberation from Japan, I went to North Korea and conducted evangelical work. For this reason, I was branded a reactionary and was placed in a concentration camp, where I lived a life that was more painful that death itself. Sol I know that our compatriots in North Korea enjoy less freedom and endure more difficulties in their lives than do the prisoners in American jails. In comparison with life in North Korea, you can say that American jails are like relaxation centers. (May 1, 1988)
In North Korea, peoples' aspiration is to have enough food to fill their belly everyday. They can't just eat something anytime they feel like it, as we do here. They are constantly trying to find a way that they can, just once, eat enough to fill their belly. They're not worried about clothing. Does a hungry person worry about what he is going to wear? They're not worried about what shoes they will wear, or about what kind of house they will live in. If only they could have enough to eat, they would be completely satisfied.
The authorities create this kind of situation, and then they turn around and devote all the country's resources toward preparing a military invasion of the South. I'm sure they have paved the roads leading up to the Military Demarcation Line near the 38th parallel very well. I saw something like this when I was coming out of Hungnam Prison in the 1950s. We have a strong interest in things like that, you know. I saw then that the North Koreans had built their bridges in such a way that the road could be expanded easily. They had built two-lane bridges on roads that had just one lane, so that the road could easily be expanded to create a highway. That's how they prepared their military transportation routes. At that time, North Korea was a large producer of cement, so they built their roads with a thick layer of concrete. I was curious, so I dug down a little. I discovered that the road had been built strong enough to withstand the weight of 30-ton tanks.
I was very impressed to see this when I was coming out of North Korea in the 50s. All the bridges had been built so that tanks weighing 30 tons could pass by without damaging the road surface. The road coming out of Hungnam went along the East Sea coastline, and this made a potentially important truck route. And they had prepared from early on to make this a military transportation route. When I saw this, I realized that this road had been a part of a plan to invade the South. Even as they were creating their governmental structure, they had made these preparations in line with the Soviet Union's Far East policy and with the support and instruction of the KGB.
For this reason, all the fertilizer that was produced in Hungnam was taken to the Soviet Union. They exchanged fertilizer for weapons. For the Soviet Union, these weapons were ten or twenty years out of date. But the North Koreans exchanged for as many as they could get. Because the weapons were cheap. Then they deployed these along the 38th parallel, and used them to train their forces for an invasion of the South. You see, they had no need for advanced military hardware. So that's why they worked to heavily arm their forces at a low cost. And fertilizer was the product that they used to acquire these arms. That's why all the fertilizer that was produced in the Hungnam fertilizer factory was shipped to the Soviet Union. Several trainloads were sent off every day. There, the fertilizer was all exchanged for weapons that were then brought back and deployed along the 38th parallel. I was aware of all this back then.
They did all this already back in the 50s. I remember when I was going from Hungnam to Pyongyang, I saw that, because they didn't have asphalt, they had used concrete instead to build the bridges. And they built them so that the roads could be expanded on short notice. (163-186)
North Korea produced a lot of cement, and they used this to prepare their military roads. So, it goes without saying that they've done extensive preparations now between Pyongyang and Sineuiju on the border with China. How many years has it been now since the armistice? There's nothing that they could not have accomplished by now. They even dug those tunnels. We don't even know how many tunnels there are, do we? (163-189)
When North Korea was fighting against the United States before the armistice, we would attack them from here with aircraft. North Korea, though, didn't have any aircraft. So, how could they transport artillery shells to the front line? They couldn't just load them onto trucks and transport them down the highway in broad daylight. Trucks were useless, because they would be attacked from the air. So, they transported their supplies during the night. How did they do this at night? All the people along the transport route were organized into teams. Each team was responsible for hauling supplies from one particular point to another. This way, supplies were transported from hamlet to hamlet. Every night, as soon as the sun went down, they would start carrying shells and bullets. They each had their assigned load, a certain standard that they had to meet. When night fell, they would pick up the supplies and start moving them in the direction of the front line.
The South kept looking for the North to run short on artillery shells, but that never happened. For them, there was no difference between people in the rear and those near the front. They were all treated just like soldiers. North Korea had the concept that they would defeat the enemy not just with the power of their military but with the power of the entire country. For them, it was total war. That's the kind of strategy they have today. Just before the armistice was declared, North Korea fired off an incredible number of shells. They fired so many that at night the flames from their artillery made you think the whole world was being reduced to rubble. The Americans fired an incredible number of shells into the North. But no matter, the North continued to resist and refused to be defeated. How did they get all those shells to the front line? They didn't just automatically arrive from the point of production. They were all transported through the team system.
Under this social and political system, they are solidly united around the goal to "liberate" the South. The one problem that they face is the fact that the United States maintains a presence here in the South. We can be like this here today, because the United States has troops stationed here. If not, we would have been "liberated" a long time ago. Without the U.S. presence, the armistice would never have lasted this long. Within three years, they would have tried again, and then again, and as many times as necessary. That's the game they're playing. (163-191)
After being liberated, I came to the South in 1950, so they staged their invasion just three years after creating a government. You have to realize this. They established a government in 1948. Then, they needed less than three years to prepare their invasion of the South that began on June 25, 1950. Do you understand what that means? That means that it took them less than three years to finish the job of developing highly mobile military units. They organized their forces and then pushed the South all the way back almost to Pusan. In order to accomplish this, they trained themselves centering not only on strategic training but also centering on their deployment infrastructure.
Let's look at North Korea's military preparations. How many do they have in their active duty force? [800,000]And how many in the Worker-Farmer Red Guard Brigade? [2.5 million] And then, how many in the University Students Brigade? And after that there are the middle and high school students who form the young peoples' defense force. That is, the "Personal Guard." How many are they? [They come to millions] You have to know that they are in the millions. Groups like the Worker-Farmer Red Guard Brigade are always training in their collective farms. You must not underestimate what would happen if these people were to change into a different set of clothes and start marching toward South Korea. Never underestimate them. (January 21, 1988)
This is what I'm grateful for. The purpose for my going to prison in North Korea was so that I could learn all this. Those rascals! When I was a student, I used to have arguments over ideology with friends who had studied communist ideology. I fight now, because I know we don't stand a chance the way we are now. I know about communism in great detail. The most onerous of all the systems organized by the communist party are the ones they have in their jails. (163-197)
4. North Korean Propaganda About "Liberating The South"
The goal of the communist party in North Korea is nothing other than the "liberation" of the South. It's unification through communization. This is what communist China encouraged them to do, and the Soviet Union did the same. What would happen if the South were to be "liberated"? They would be able to control Japan. Their analysis is that if they can control Japan, then they will become the leading country in the Pacific age. If Kim Il Sung has his way, then he will propose that the Japan Communist Party and the communist parties of other Asian countries form a new united party that would not be subject to the Soviet Union. The proposal would be for the weaker countries that do not want to be subject to either China or the Soviet Union to band together within the communist bloc to form a new structure bringing together the weaker nations. The aim would be to put the breaks on the Soviet Union and to put the breaks on America. That's what they are preparing for.
In that sense, North Korea, in addition to their constant effort to strengthen their domestic foundation, has been much more active than the South in the area of international propaganda. They have established embassies throughout the world, and through these they are working to educate the leadership of each country, including cabinet ministers and department directors within each government ministry. Magazines about Kim Il Sung are being delivered to the living rooms of all these people. How many years since the country was liberated from Japan? They've been playing this game now for 39 years. In North Korea, anything can be accomplished if the order is given. (163-189)
They were calling for the "liberation" of the South even at the time they were first establishing their government. They've been calling for this now for forty years. They have not retreated even one step on this. The claims being made by the North Korean establishment today are exactly the same as when I was there. They just keep on going according to their established program. When they first began to preach their doctrine, there were many people who expressed opposition. They would shake their heads from side to side. Gradually, though, they strengthened their hold on the country, until now no one would even think of shaking their head. They are at the point now where no one can speak even one word in opposition. (163-185)
Soon, the problem of communism in the United States will be closely tied with Korea's problem. The Soviet Union believes that it can defeat the United States and be victorious throughout the world only if it removes the foundation of the United States centering on the 38th parallel. To support this, North Korea calls for the withdrawal of all U.S. forces in Korea on the one hand and conducts a peace offensive on the other. The Soviet Union, too, carries out a peaceful offensive, saying: "Let's do this" and "Let's do that." If North Korea is ultimately successful in its peaceful offensive of "Let's become one," then eventually the Soviet Union will project itself onto the Korean Peninsula. If that happens, it will just help itself to South Korea. (January 21, 1986)
5. The Communist System
The Communist bloc has been able to create a single, uniform system. There can be no pluralism. Then, unwavering support is given to this system by the powerful strength of individuals and clans, the nation and the state. We have nothing that is capable of matching this strength. We don't have the military; we don't have the state; we don't have anything. just think how strong a system we would have to build. Everyone would have to have his head cut off before we reached the point of judgment.
No matter how much they say the Communist system has changed, it is not possible for them to completely rid themselves of this system.
They say that they will pursue the kind of socialist establishment that develops naturally in each country, but they do not trust the free world. That is why they will be left with nowhere to stand. (162-155)
Systemic changes in the Communist bloc are impossible. There is no way for them to retreat, unless they suffer a total collapse. That's the way it is. This is the most difficult problem facing Communist China. They have developed their system under their current ideological structure. My idea, then, is that if we develop a content that is superior to the Communist system and then transpose that on to their structure, then we will be able to exercise influence over the whole thing. We have a good opportunity now to do that. Communist China may be in retreat now, but it would cause tremendous problems if we were to allow that country to fall apart. The issue would become very complicated. China would enter a period of confusion similar to the Warring States Period. (163-206)
China today faces the difficult problem of how to bring about change in their established structure. They have to effect changes in the structure that currently link everyone from the highest position to the very lowest, but this is going to be extremely difficult. If they set about to change their political structure, for example, it may be possible to change certain portions of it, but it will be difficult to bring about comprehensive change. There is the possibility many negative consequences may come about as a result of opposition from young people who have been indoctrinated in the current ideology and from those who played leading roles in establishing the foundation for the current structure. That is why it will be very difficult to bring about change in the Communist establishment unless there is a new ideology that can be used to graft their current establishment on to a new establishment that is superior to Communism. (163,193)
Section 3. The International Foundation For North-South Unification (Part 1)
1. Foreword
For the people of Korea, the unification of our homeland remains an ineluctable task. Unification is equally imperative for all Koreans, both North and South.
The fact that North and South became divided against each other is not solely the responsibility of the citizens of the Republic of Korea. The division came about as a result of actions by the world's great powers, in a process that made no consideration for the will of the citizens of the Republic of Korea. For this reason, the unification of North and South cannot be accomplished solely through the efforts of the citizens of the Republic of Korea. It is necessary that we open the way for the world's great powers to cooperate in this effort.
North Korea may say that it will bring about unification by liberating the South, but this form of unification cannot be sustainable for the long-term. By the same token, South Korea may say that it will liberate the North by means of its national strength, but this also will not lead to a sustainable form of unification. As far as the issue of North-South unification is concerned, a vision for a unified Korea that is durable over the long-term is possible only if the way to unification is paved within the context of a mutual understanding among the great powers. This also coincides with the vantage point of providential history.
Also, it is clear from the history of Korea that unification through the use of military force by either the North or the South would be difficult. Furthermore, it is the sense of providential history that unification will be impossible without the involvement of the great powers. Yet, the reality today is that no one in Korea has clear knowledge of this formula for unification. I am the only one. I became aware of this formula at an early stage in the process of upholding the will of God. I then began to prepare the groundwork for it, and I have even gone on to work toward the unification of the world.
My purpose for accepting God's calling and in founding a new religious group called the Unification Church also lay in North-South unification and in the unification of the world. A unified world is not just a goal of the Unification Church. It is also the fervent hope of all humanity. It is a goal and a fervent hope that is desired not only by countries that are weak and small but also those that are large and powerful. The goal of a single unified world is the common desire of all humanity throughout the world. The problem is in determining the foundation on which the unified world will be constructed.
2. Korea Cannot Accomplish Norm-South Unification Alone
In the world we live in today, every individual suffers the infringement of world history on his life. No one can avoid being under the influence of world history. Taking the Republic of Korea as an example, this country cannot exist just on its own. Without question, the Republic of Korea has entered into a world historical context in which it is directly influenced by the ideological and philosophical trends of the world. Even if the country were to try and avoid such influence, it is already in the nature of the environment in which we exist. Thus, you must realize that this is not an age in which the Republic of Korea can simply go its own course. Wherever the Republic of Korea goes, there will always be the problem of Asia. Wherever Asia tries to go, there will always be the problem of the world. Wherever the world tries to go, it won't be just this physical world.
If we are to defeat the Communist Party in Korea, we cannot simply use a unitary strategy. The Communist Party is a dictatorship centering on a systematized ideology that possesses an international organization. It would be impossible for us to defeat this ideology by means of one country acting alone. Victory will be impossible unless there can be a worldwide strategy in which the different peoples of the world are brought together to stage an offensive as a unified front.
Even if Korea somehow were to overthrow North Korea's Kim Il Sung and unify the North and South, what would it do about the Soviet Union? And how would it handle Communist China? It would be impossible. Everyone talks about Kim Il Sung, but what would happen if Kim Il Sung were to disappear? What would the Soviet Union do, and what would Communist China do? That's the more important issue. Do you understand? No matter how you look at it, then, Korea cannot survive without an international foundation, that is, a foundation of allied countries. There's no other way to survive. (78-322)
How are we to go about forming a united front that on the Korean Peninsula will bring about North-South unification, in Asia will link Japan and China, and then will drive out the Soviet Union and Communist China?
North Korea is certainly an important issue, but we must also find a way to drive out the Soviet Union and Communist China and return Asia to our Father in Heaven. Furthermore, we should begin preparing now for finding a way to return the world to our Father in Heaven. This is the huge mission that we will eventually have to fight to accomplish. (27-354)
The issue of North-South Unification cannot be resolved without involving the world. No one can do it. It doesn't matter how much they harangue. Why must we do this centering on a particular ideological system? That's the way it is from the viewpoint of the history of God's providence, as well as from the Principle of the Unification Church. (166-270)
Until now, I have accomplished all that was my responsibility. Whether in terms of the spiritual or the physical, or in terms of my responsibilities to the Korean nation, the Unification Church and to God, I have completed all my responsibility. I have completed my responsibility for Korea. If there is still one task remaining, it would be that the initial point has not been established that makes North-South unification possible, but this cannot be done by Korea alone. It is a problem for which the world must take joint responsibility. It is something that will become possible as I work from now on a worldwide level. It cannot be done without that. (79-138)
Where will North-South unification be accomplished? Even in my dreams I never think that the Republic of Korea can accomplish North-South unification just on its own. It cannot be done without working through allies around the world. (October 28, 1979)
We must bring resolution to three nations. Korea itself would not be enough. In Asia, we must connect Korea, Japan and China. In the world, we must go as far as to connect Germany, centering on the United States. Because of feelings of animosity, we have a long way to go. You must absolutely be aware, however, that we must not be content with the situation as it currently exists. (49-234)
For the Republic of Korea to be liberated -- that is, unified -- it won't be enough that only North and South Korea are involved. It will be impossible to accomplish this without involving the countries of the world, without bringing together the power of the democratic world, so we must prepare for this. In order to this, the issue is how we are going to digest Japan and the United States. You should understand that the mission of the Unification Church involves digesting these countries. (85-341)
Since South Korea cannot unify North and South Korea by itself, I have carried on my work around the world. I have influenced Japan, influenced the United States, and created a system that is capable of defending against Communism. I have created a practical, living foundation that the world can acknowledge in fact as well as in name. If this country becomes a people that cannot cooperate with me in spite of all this, then it will degenerate. (162-305)
More than Kim Il Sung himself, the issue is the foundation of Kim It Sung by which he is connected to the background plans of international Communism. In order to destroy this foundation, Korea needs to have a foundation by which it can deal with the Soviet Union and China. Without that, North-South unification will be impossible. That is the way that I see it. That is why I have been carrying on a movement to eliminate the Japan Communist Party. You may not be aware of this, but I have been carrying on a desperate struggle for 13 years. (April 26, 1981)
In view of the international situation, Korea's geopolitical position makes it indispensable to China, the Soviet Union, Japan and the United States. Everyone needs the Korean Peninsula. Each country wants to devour it. Also, God needs Korea. Will God be defeated by the others in this competition?
Satanic forces try to control by means of brute force, but that's not the case with me. I say let's feed them, give them clothing and do everything for them. Then, we can be unified. (166-258)
I will make everything public. If China itself just follows my words, then they will be able to develop rapidly through the 30 year-history of modern civilization. When China realizes this, it will have no choice. From a providential standpoint, North Korea is in the Adam position, China is in the Eve position and the Soviet Union is in the Archangel position. So, when events happen as I have described, it will signify the Archangel's loss of Eve. Eve is China, and when I bring China to our side then there will be a landing point in Asia.
Japan is the Eve country for the purpose of restoration, but Satan has control over the landing point. Thus, we can defeat Kim Il Sung without fighting by laying the foundation that I have described. (January 21,1986)
3. Develop Leadership Ability
No matter how it may try, the Republic of Korea will not be able to liberate itself. It's necessary to move America. Do you understand? It's necessary to move the free world. Striking Kim Il Sung is not something that Korea can do on its own. It can't be done without assistance from Japan and the United States.
So then, who is going to do this? This is something that the incumbent President of Korea cannot do. In that sense, I am a necessary person. The citizens of the Republic of Korea will have to rely on my help. I don't know if I have such ability or not, but up until now I have relied on heaven in order to accomplish things that were humanly impossible. So, I think that it is well within the realm of possibility that I can do this. (October 26, 1979)
We are moving beyond the level where Koreans themselves can solve the problems of Korea. Does that mean, then, that another country, one that is a major power in the world, will come forward and resolve the issues that Koreans are not able to resolve for ourselves? No, it doesn't. Why? America, which represented the democratic world and was taking responsibility for the world, is now retreating, so now there is no country to take on such a role. There may be powerful countries that would like to swallow Korea, grab Korea, at the first chance they get, but there is no country that will truly work for the benefit of Korea and help Korea. You must understand that Korea's situation today is such that this is the only conclusion that we can reach.
In that case, if this our situation, then where can we find a point of resolution? The question is how are we to become a people who are self-reliant. How are we to form a people who can unify North and South? Koreans, who are in the relatively weaker position in the balance of power, have been divided between North and South. So, the issue is how are we to unite the people so as to elevate the country's self-reliance and break out of the current situation. You should know that unless we and open a path whereby we can develop such self-reliance and influence, Korea's future will only become more tragic. (63-270)
4. Procuring A Foundation For Unification In Japan
1) The Position of Japan as the Eve Country
The problem is not North Korea's Kim Il Sung, but Communist China and Japan. Japan is in a dangerous position that is similar to that of Eve at the time that she committed the fall. That is why I did the reorganization of the regions in Japan myself. That is my strategy for establishing Japan within a certain restored realm.
If we can just get Japan, there will be no problem. Communist China is a country that is in a position similar to the Archangel. China possesses an ancient Asian civilization, and this is an archangelic civilization. After World War II, Japan received the sympathy of its former enemies, and was able to develop rapidly. It has reached the level now that it prides itself as being the second richest country in the world. If you look at the internal aspect, Japan today is in the position of a bride who is trying to make herself look as attractive as possible. (30,243)
If we say that Japan is the Eve country, then Eve is attached to Adam. When a bride becomes a member of her husband's family, she cannot take with her all the rules and customs of her birth family. As a member of her husband's family, she must inherit the family atmosphere of the new family beginning with the day of her arrival. This is the nature of the Japanese people. That is why the Japanese are the best in the world when it comes to copying others. (laughter) 'When you consider this, even if you are in Japan you should not think that you are in Japan.
Your thinking should always be for the sake of Korea. Eve must always be thinking of her husband, even when she is visiting her parents' home. Otherwise, her husband will kick her out. She would become a wife who has been thrown out. You should keep that in mind, and become one in order to accomplish the goal. (40-134)
The time will come in Asia when Japan will have no choice except to stand in a leadership position. Because Eve committed the fall, the feminine-type country of Japan must take responsibility for this. In the last days, Japan will have to take responsibility within the context of our unified front. It will have to give its full effort. The situation will be so urgent that they will have to work in the position of giving everything they have. They will have to follow quickly. (28-242)
The time is coming when the world will have to clash centering on three countries -- the Adam country, Eve country and Archangel country.
Then, where will be the center of this clash? The three men on Satan's side clash with each other centering on Jesus, but on what has Jesus been centered? His center has not been the struggle with people who are on the side of Satan. Instead, he has come to search for Eve. That's the way it has been. Do you understand? So, there is a clash of three people centering on Eve, that is, three archetypes on the side of Satan. Also, on the side of Heaven, three archetypes clash centering on one feminine country. In the context of the current world situation, this feminine country is Japan. Do you understand? It's Japan.
North Korea is also trying various tactics in order to place the Japan platform within its grasp. Communist China covets the Japanese platform. Isn't that right? Also, the Soviet Union covets the Japanese platform.
Why did the world situation have to become this way? If you took at the Principle of the Unification Church, the reason is that there must be a historical apocalyptic period in which there is a final worldwide altar that brings the world into unity with God's will. And yet . . . the Eve country, Japan is the Eve country. What happens to the Eve country? The three on the Satan's side will hang on to it. Why? It is because this is in the object position to Jesus. Thus, Eve is in the position where she has to decide between Jesus and Satan, that is, between life and death. She has to decide whose wife she is going to become.
So Jesus and the Unification Church in South Korea are now preparing to take a wife. Isn't that right? And America is also trying to support this. For a time, America was in control of Japan but now has let it go. This is so that Japan can go to its real husband. Do you understand? What is happening with Korea now? Until recently, Korea was within America's administrative realm -- that is, within America's protective realm -- but now it is in a position where it must place its trust in Japan. This means that Korea must stand in the position where the husband and wife can meet. The time has come when Korea can breakout of the Archangel's control, lay claim to its original authority, and begin to act like a husband. (60-180)
Normally, it would have been very difficult for Japan to recover from being a defeated nation in the Second World War. How, then, has Japan been able to develop so quickly during the past 20 years? It was because of the Korean War. It was a result of Japan's being linked to Korea. That is how it has now become a world-level power. If Japan, in the position of the Eve country, were to give aid to Korea -- if Japan were to aid Korea in a manner consistent with the course that Korea must take from here-then the restoration of North and South would come about in a natural way. (40-120)
Japan has been able to develop until now, because it has inherited Korea's development and been blessed. What kind of blessing did it receive? It has been blessed in an external sense, not the internal. The meaning of external blessing is that it is a material blessing. That is why Japan has been able to accomplish a rapid development over the past 20 years such as has never been seen before in history. That is how Japan has become such a strong and wealthy country.
The Unification Church needs to influence Japan. If Koreans hear me say this, they may feel good about it. Japanese people, however, may react negatively. But there's nothing that can be done about that. No matter what the Japanese may say about this, it cannot be changed. You know the "geta" that Japanese walk around in, don't you? Geta are worn by placing a strap between the big toe and the toe next to it. This signifies the division between the father and mother. (laughter) When the foot is taken out of the geta, then the two can come together. So, who is going to make them take off their geta? I am the only one who can do that.
There is a reason that Japan is the Eve country. Japanese names are generally composed of four Chinese characters, and women often have names that end in the Chinese character for child, which is pronounced 'ko' in Japanese. They don't have any names for women that end with the character for woman. Why do they use the character that signifies a male child in names for women? It's because women long to be with a man. (laughter) It's not something to laugh about. So, the Japanese use the Chinese character signifying male child in names for women. Probably about two thirds of all Japanese women have names that end with this character. That is what they long for. Also, many Japanese men have names that include the character 'to.' The names are something 'to.' Really, a lot of them. That's because men are in the position of the Archangel, and are waiting in anticipation of the bridegroom. Aren't men the Archangel type? That is fact.
The Lord who comes as the bridegroom brings blessings from Heaven. He brings blessing, but what kind of blessing is this? He brings heavenly fortune. He does not bring money. Those who are looking for a man who will bring them money will decline. You have to be hoping for man who will bring heavenly fortune. Money already exists on the Earth. Isn't that right? Money already exists, so money is not what we need. We already have money to live on, so we want a man who is well-bred and remarkable. Isn't that right? That is the position Japan is in.
For this reason, Japan must accept the Unification Church. The Unification Church represents the holy bridegroom. Young Japanese women will be enthralled with the young Korean men of the Unification Church. I recently blessed three Korean-Japanese couples for the reason that I need to connect Korea and Japan. A four-position foundation has to be formed centering on my family, so I blessed three couples with the meaning to have them stand in that place.
That is why Japan will decline unless it helps Korea. Wait and see. If Japan just hangs on to Korea and helps it, there will be nothing to worry about. It won't matter even if America decides not to help Japan. If that happens, then an economic foundation of a new level will begin to develop in a new direction. If Japan refuses to help Korea, it will only be slowly tightening the rope around its own feet. (38-120)
2) Japan is Indispensable to Korea
If Japan were to become a Communist country, Korea would be like a mouse in the sight of a poisonous snake. That is why I have been working in secret for the last ten years in order to avoid such a national crisis. I am in the position of taking responsibility so that the entire Japanese political establishment can take an anti-communist line; similar to the way it is in Korea. The Japanese government has opposed the policy taken by Korea, but from now on they will have to follow Korea. When there can be a foundation on which to restore Japan completely to the side of Heaven centering on Korea as the Adam-type country, then the whole world can change direction. (23-292)
Communist China and the Soviet Union have their eyes on Japan. What would happen to Korea if Japan were to take a leftist direction? What can a mouse do, once it is in the sights of a poisonous snake? It would also have to become a leftist country. I am helping Japan, so that it can go in a right-wing direction. In Japan, the Communist Party has made it so politicians cannot adopt an anti-communist coloring. (23-138)
Besides Kim Il Sung, Korea is surrounded by the Soviet Union and Communist China. That is why Korea needs Japan. Ten years ago, I had one of our missionaries go to Japan on a boat carrying illegal immigrants. I sent him in order to begin the process of establishing a foundation. It's a miracle that this foundation could be established in a period of one year and seven months. (27-266)
No one in the Korean government realizes this. I said then: "Just wait ten years. Right now, people may think that this kind of illegal action is not suitable for the citizen of a country that respects the rule of law. In the future, though, this action will bring freedom to Asia. I had to do this in preparation for that time. It doesn't matter if today people accuse me of being a traitor to the nation. Someday, history will give testimony to the fact that my convictions and actions are just." Based on this thinking, I acted decisively. It was a time when Unification Church members were almost starving.
If Korea ignores Japan it will decline. Korea should hang on to Japan. It should pursue policies that place the two countries in a common fate so that they will always be together. (68-161)
If Korea is to survive, it must carry Japan on its back. International power relations in Asia will be determined by which country establishes an alliance with Japan. That is why Communist China and the Soviet Union are competing with each other over Japan. They aren't even thinking about Korea now. They think that they can take care of Korea any time they want. Kim Il Sung is going back and forth between the two and playing them off against each other. (April 26, 1981)
The Republic of Korea has to hang on to Japan. Otherwise, there will be no way to survive. Korea can't go with China. It can't go with the Soviet Union. Korea has to go with Japan. On the foundation of Japan, it has to hang on to the United States. When Korea is no longer able to hang on to these two countries, it will lose its way in the world. I have already planned for this 15 years ago.
A certain man named Moon did these things even though people cursed him at the time. Even as he was being cursed, he worked to save Asia and to save the Republic of Korea. Is he, then, a traitor to the country and a traitor to the Church? When the situation with Japan is resolved, then we will be able to shut out Communism worldwide centering on the American continent, on the Senators in the government and opposition parties in the United States and on by bringing together all the forces around the United States. (85-256)
3) Victory Over Communism
There is one other area where I feet I must establish a foundation in Korea. As I've said already, when you look at Korea's geopolitical position, there is no way that Korea can survive on its own. Korea has to surpass Japan so that it can lead Japan. That is, it has to have the ability to influence Japan. Otherwise, Korea will have no way to survive in its current location where it is wedged in between many powerful countries.
What should Korea do next? It has to surpass the United States and develop the ability to lead America. Then, it should direct the United States and strengthen the bond between the two countries. In my view, there is no other way for Korea to survive in this world.
Yet, what is the situation of our country today? All you have to do is took at the economy. What would happen if our relations with United States or Japan were to be broken? Korea is extremely sensitive to whatever happens in these two countries, and to what statements are made there regarding Korea. How long can we go on like this? We can't go like this forever.
When I toured 40 countries around the world in 1965, I reevaluated the situation of the Communist establishment. I made a firsthand assessment of the cruelty of Communism and how it was expanding around the world. I felt, then, that there was not much time left to act. I decided that first it would be necessary to begin activities for victory over communism. To this end, I sent 47 Korean VOC people to Japan on New Years Day, 1967 in an effort to establish the IFVOC. Certain ignorant people in Korea opposed this move. In particular, people in the government office directly responsible for these matters determined that if the Unification Church were allowed to expand into Japan and to establish a foundation there, it would only do things to cause embarrassment for Korea. They then did everything they could to oppose me. So, I had to found the IFVOC in March 1968, using an alternative route.
When I founded the IFVOC in Japan, I emphasized the need for carrying out victory over communism activity in Japan. No one, however, expressed support for this. They said: "Rev. Moon is in Korea, and doesn't understand the situation in Japan. That is why he is trying to conduct victory over communism activity. He doesn't realize how evil the Communist Party is, or how vicious they are in their struggle." Everyone expressed skepticism toward VOC activity in Japan.
So, I had to convince them by referring to all the historical background. I told them what kind of fate would befall Japan if they did not carry out this activity. Finally, it was possible to establish the IFVOC, and I used the time prior to April 1, 1968 for the purpose of arming them with VOC ideology to the extent that they could give lectures on this material. Next, I sent them out on to the streets. I sent them to the places where the Communist Party carries on its activities and its propaganda, so that they could fight. I sent people to Chosun University, which is connected to Chochongryun, the organization of Korean residents in Japan who follow North Korea. I said to one particularly brave woman VOC activist, "You should give VOC lectures in front of Chosun University every day for the next three and a half years." (November 1, 1980)
When I was in Gapsa right after being released from prison, I said to myself. "Japan will be the issue in the future. For the moment, Japan lies in ruins, but it will again become a problem. Therefore, we must not look on Japan as our enemy." If you look at history, the Japanese have invaded Korea on more than sixty separate occasions, but Koreans always attempted to move the hearts of the Japanese by demonstrating a superior morality. I said, then: "From the beginning, the Japanese have learned all their culture and technology from Korea, and then used that to oppose us. Some of that nature still remains in them. The best way for us to deal with this is to treat them well with love and to help them when they have been defeated. We should establish the tradition of having forgone the opportunity for revenge against them and having given them love instead."
In the sense that the Republic of Korea is a country that respects the rule of law, I broke the law of the time. I realized, however, that in 10 or 20 years there would come a time when the government of Korea would be forced to rely on the power of this organization. That has come true today. Mindan, the association of Korean residents in Japan connected to South Korea, is deeply divided and is ineffective. The association of Korean youth in Japan has been completely sold out to the Chochongryun, and has become ineffectual. The situation is terrible, so they come and say: "Please, can we have some help from the Japan IFVOC."
I gave advice that the lecturers that we took to Japan should be placed on the stage during the August 15 Liberation Day festivities as a test. I told them: "If you don't do that, you are certain to be defeated by the North." Sure enough. Within seven years, everything started to go terribly wrong. They came to where I was touring Japan, and said: "Please, please, you've got to help us." Finally, the Embassy staff and the Mindan came to a common conclusion that they would inherit the pattern established by IFVOC in order to bring order to the confused situation. So, Lecturer Choi Yong-suk became Dr. Choi, and gave daily reports at the intelligence agency. The results were very good, so they had him take a tour around the world, and made a big fuss over him.
Until now, the Chochongryun had a better education system, and it appeared that they would devour the Mindan. Now, though, the Mindan will devour the Chochongryun centering on Unification Thought. Now, the IFVOC has established an ideological system that is able to demonstrate clearly to philosophers around the world that the world is headed in an undesirable direction. Now, we are working with scholars all over Japan. In a short while now, all the scholars in Korea will have to adopt a much more humble attitude. They cannot underestimate me.
As you know already, mission work in Japan began in 1958, during the administration of the Liberal Party, which opposed normalization of relations with Japan. As the citizen of a country that respects the rule of law, I knew that it was against the law to send someone on a secret voyage to Japan. Yet, because I could foresee that this was a matter of life and death for Korea, I had to send the missionary by any means available.
On the first two attempts, the missionary was caught during the trip and sent back to Korea. On the third attempt, he was arrested and placed in Japan's Omura Detention Center. He was able to make a dramatic escape from the facility and begin his missionary work.
An important issue in the evangelical work in Japan was to find a way so that Japan would not condemn the faith and ideas of the Unification Church because of a perceived contradiction with the core of Japanese culture. At the same time, the Unification Church had to maintain its integrity and educate Japanese society in such a way that the Unification Church faith could take root in Japan. I saw this as being the only way in which Korea could survive. As an illegal immigrant, the missionary had a great deal of trouble to find a way that he could establish contact with Japanese government authorities and to find a way to link Korea, Japan and the United States.
In the international situation of the time, it was still impossible to imagine the possibility of a Soviet invasion of Japan or Soviet-Chinese border clashes. I realized, though, that China and Russia have clashed repeated through history. If the two countries were to clash along the Great Wall, then China would mobilize its population for a human sea tactic. The Soviet Union, then, would use India as a base in order to reach the Indian Ocean. For this reason, I had President Kuboki of the Japanese IFVOC gather together those pro-South Korean people within the Liberal Democratic Party who agreed with the position that defending Korea was the same as defending Japan. Now, we have increased our influence so that we can influence those who are the power behind the scenes. (November 17, 1980)
4) Communists' Strategy for Japan
The Soviet Union regards Japan as the final base for conquering Asia. This is the basic strategy for world communization, and the strategy of China is basically similar. They have been planning the strategy for the Far East based on the wider world strategy, and they will continue with this in the future.
Then what is the situation of Kim Il Sung, caught between China and the Soviet Union? He also has a high purpose and a dream he considers absolutely necessary: to stop being a puppet of China and the Soviet Union and be respected as their equal and a superpower of Asia. He sees, however, that the first step towards this goal is to establish a Communist regime in Japan. This was my personal opinion, but as we investigated the background of the Jo Chong Ryun (Korean-Japanese Communists), this intention was clearly revealed. Because of such a scheme, enormous funds have been flowing in from North Korea to Jo Chong Ryun. With support from China and the Soviet Union, North Korea has been expanding Communist activities in Japan through Jo Chong Ryun and the Japanese Communist Party. Our investigation found that they directed Jo Chong Ryun to engage in violence and destruction. This is very dangerous. The danger is not due to the violence but to the possibility that if the Japanese Communist Party takes over the hegemony, Jo Chong Ryun can come forward as the main actor because it has been playing a main role in the Communist operations and also their master, Kim Il Sung is supported by China and the Soviet Union, which are stronger than Japan.
Of course, such a situation is now gone. At that time, however, I could not sit still because I knew the intentions of North Korea. So I confronted Jo Chong Ryun with more aggressive VOC activities, bringing Jo Chong Ryun students and other Korean-Japanese students to America for VOC education. Then what will happen to Kim Il Sung's dream, who is eager to expand Communism in Japan? The foremost purpose of Communists is to overthrow Capitalism and communize the whole world. This is not only the ultimate goal of the Soviet Union and China, but also of Kim Il Sung. They eventually want to topple even America. (80.11. 1)
5) The Foundation for Unification in Japan
Although you may not know this, Japan is a country that is targeted by world communists for a communist revolution. Japan has a very mixed culture, with many different religions including Christianity. Since Japanese culture is composite in nature, when she is communized, she has no cultural foundation through which to connect to the world. So Communists can conquer Japan faster than any Western countries. In this dire situation of Communist threat, therefore, we started an ideological struggle through universities and media. We also proposed an open debate, but Communists know that they cannot match us in arguments. (65-335)
As you know, the Communists in Japan recognize that unless they overthrow the International Federation for VOC, Communist revolution is impossible in Japan. They are confessing that they are surpassed by us in activity and speed as well as in theory. In the area of philosophy, confused philosophical systems have been dominating the world, but now we are influencing the world with a clear God-centered philosophy. Our church really has vast resources of treasure. I want to point out, however, that even we ourselves do not know this. If we have a clear idea about this and fight on with a dominant philosophy in order to attain the world leadership, God will surely lead us to victory. (79-81)
These days, Japanese Communists are at a higher level in theory than Chinese or Soviet Communists. When I said that we should gather about five hundred young people and start a VOC campaign against such high-level Communists, you must have had all kinds of thoughts, even calling me insane. Without the VOC activities, however, Unification Church would not have been able to preserve its dignity. (25-328)
Every Saturday, we held seminars for politicians in Japan with different titles such as "Future of the World Centering on the Pacific" or "Military Situations." True, the prime minister has his own political advisers, and yet, their advice cannot be compared to forecasts and recommendations made by dozens of top experts in a variety of fields. In this way, we tried to guide and turn around the Japanese Government's policies. After five years, this meeting drew serious attention from prime ministers and advisers, many of whom tried to attain materials from it. In Japan, I emphasized unity to Unification Church members and Japanese people and held many seminars with the theme that Japan and Korea have a common fate. This way, I opened a way to bring in a new view of Asia and renewed the atmosphere of Japanese politics. (80.11. 1)
If Japan seeks to promote the interest of Asia rather than just its own, it will be able to avoid being labeled as an enemy and survive. Can you believe that I am thinking about ways for their survival, when they are my enemies? It is because this is a way of rescuing Korea at the same time. Although Japan is an enemy of Korea, if we can organize a Japanese volunteer army to protect Korea, then it becomes possible to organize volunteer armies of liberation all over the world. With such a consideration, I dispatched teams of German, Japanese, and American missionaries to almost every country. These three are citizens of economic superpowers, and yet they have been enemies for thirty five years. Although they have been enemies, they must become one in their mission places. If they can unite, this unity of enemies is enough to unite neighboring countries. In this way, the foundation of unification has been established along with missionary foundations. Now the remaining question is who will be the standard-bearer of world unification. (80.11.1)
It was through my own strength that I drove away Communists from Japanese politics and universities. It must be ten years ago. (166-117)
Section 3. The International Foundation For North-South Unification (Part 2)
5. The Foundation For Unification In The USA
1) America's Mission
America should consider which is more dangerous, retreating from Asia or from Europe. Europe is father away, and it has no base that is related to America. But Asia is connected to America through Alaska. This is a good foundation from which to stimulate Korea to take revenge for the thirty six years of Japanese colonial persecution. If America removes her troops from Korea, and Korea becomes communized, however, Japan will easily be communized, and then the whole Pacific Rim will be communized within five years. Alaska is not the border; something more serious will happen. From this point of view, America should understand what God wants to do with Asia and the world and educate and unify the American people. This is my claim. (91-70)
Now, America is generally acknowledged as the leader of the democratic world. If this nation collapses, it will be a global disaster. America is the only country that can protect the world against communism. (72, 25)
If America is pushed back by Communists in Asia, heaven and earth will also be pushed back. (33-12)
America is an archangel country. So America should help if Korea is to gain independence. Although the Communist world opposes it, America should help Korea and find a way to become one with her. Otherwise, unification cannot be hoped for. Independence cannot be gained in isolation. Then who should do this? These countries are now being divided and set apart from one another. They are being absorbed into the hands of Communists. This is why now is the time of crisis. (54-201)
Will America, the leader of world democracy, perish or prosper? It will perish, considering all of her present situations. It will be handed over to Communists and Satan. Thus, the more difficult it becomes, the more they should consult with God and unite under God; then, they will not perish. instead, they will be restored. (71-244)
What is our task in America? Although we have to abandon the American nation and American church, we should fight again in order to rebuild it as a God-centered country. It is my view that if this happens, America can dominate the world. If God has chosen and established America, would He want her to be a great country for its own sake or a country to save the world by turning it upside down? (a country to save the world) Do American people have such an idea? (81-5 1)
2) The Unification Church has Been Working to Save America
I did not go to America in order to develop the Unification Church and brag about it as its leader; I went with a great mission to show the historical direction for the world. So I could not share this with anyone. I have been fighting alone, keeping it only to myself As I see that now global problems are coming to the fore, I feel that God's work transcends human understanding. (70-37)
At the Yankee Stadium rally, I declared that I came to America as a doctor because she had become sick, and as a fire fighter because she had been caught on a fire. Who can say such a thing? Can an American president say it? What American young man can say it? This is an historic event. At the Washington rally, I proudly proclaimed that I came in order to save the decadent American young people and turn them around as the youth of the future. Can any American professor say such a thing? (91-64)
I warned America that she will go down in no time. I attacked them bluntly in broad daylight, those who consider themselves citizens of a developed country. I said, "America will perish. I am shouting lest it should happen. I will uproot all the systems that are connected to Communists." (62-129)
America is regarded as the prototype for democracy. Thinking that when religion is dismantled here, the whole country will fall into their hands, Communists are making step-by-step preparations to bring it about. When I know such things, I cannot but do this work in America. (92-131)
I am teaching American people that they should have an ideal that transcends the nation and that they should change from a country that lives for its own sake to a country that serves the world. This year, I am fighting again in order to switch on the transformation process. (85-62)
You may not know this. There is a promise I made with God when I came to America. I pledged that by the third year of the third seven-year course (1977), I would take the responsibility to find a life path for America and that I would do this work as long as I lived. For the short three years, I have been doing things that are almost impossible in America. You should know that it was not my accomplishment, but God is the one who supported it and made it possible. Therefore, it is a miracle that we are witnessing impossible things being made possible in front of our eyes. You should know that we have a victorious result that surpasses any victories in the past. (87-94)
I used shock therapy in order to save the dying country of America. I said, "America is now being consumed by fire, and I came here as a fire fighter to rescue her." I also said, "America is now dying out of sickness, and I came here as a doctor to heat her." This remark irritated American pride. I knew how the people would respond, but I also knew that the country could not be saved without shock therapy. So I had to be willing to go into prison. I went to prison for saying the right thing. (88.1.1)
How did I guide the nation of America? From above, I guided the presidents, and from below, I guided the young people. This is my view: when the president and the young people start having ideas of serving God, then America will be saved. (79-186)
Everyone who visits America tries to gain debts, but I came here to give debts. But they still treat me badly. They treat me even worse than a beggar, not to mention like a president or government minister. They just spit at me and ridicule me, calling me "Moonie." Even beggars are not treated so badly, right? For this reason, when they turn around, they will submit themselves one hundred percent. Does it seem likely or not? (It does) We are going forward for this day. (92-103)
Throughout the Communist and the free world, there is only one person who really serves America. Only Rev. Moon is here, urging people to work to save America. I am doing this with all the money and people in my control. I love America. For what? I am doing it for America and the world, and yet white people are accusing me of trying to swallow America. (79.5.1)
I am thinking, "America, don't perish and just wait for another ten years. For when I am here in America, you will be saved eventually in my hands." That time will come. If those who know this fail to fulfill their responsibility, they will be accused. So when I plead to God, "I will take the responsibility, so please help me," the God cannot but help me. He helps. This is why I can stir up this commotion. (87- 195)
We must save America because she is the center of the democratic world, and through saving her we can save the democratic world. Although America and the American churches oppose Rev. Moon, we must save America, the American churches, and even Communists, just as Jesus said, "God, please do not forsake them." We should be willing to take up the cross like Jesus. You should know that the Unification Church is trying to inherit the tradition of Jesus and to work accordingly. (87-136)
3) The Foundation For Unification
I went to America because I knew the ultimate purpose of the Communists, who advocate the overthrow of Capitalism. America had to be awakened from ignorance about communism in order for Korea, Asia, religion, and the free world to remain alive in the future. As soon as I arrived in America, God wanted to gather up support at once from the American people. As a religious leader, I could not use violence, and yet I had to work quickly, and urging the American people to decide between yes and no within a short time. I asked Japanese and Germans, historical enemies of America, to work with a conviction that if they worked to save rather than destroy America, this would remain as a great lesson in the cultural history of mankind.
American young people, spoiled by liberal pragmatism, are reluctant to do anything that does not benefit them directly. I tried to awaken them, however, by creating inspiring examples of sacrificial work through dedicated Japanese and German youths. It took three years before the American young people were moved by the young people sacrificing for God. (80-11-17)
Communist movements are spreading through American universities, and Kim Il Sung is accelerating his operations in America. His dream is to overthrow America. Among the immigrants in America, there is none who are as diligent and intelligent as Koreans. So they have much influence in the areas of politics, academia, and so on. In space research, which is the cutting edge of science, more than ten Korean scientists are involved, for instance. There are many Koreans who have influence in many areas. Hence, if the Koreans in America can be united, we will become a nation of enormous power, and through this our country will emerge as a world leader. Understanding such a potential in the Korean-American community, Kim Il Sung is trying to embrace the Korean Americans with all kinds of secret operations and propaganda. I have been promoting VOC activities in America on a large scale in order to counteract this. (80.1.1)
The first thing I did in America was to establish a seminary to serve as the center of bringing together the academic world. What matters most in guiding the world of thought is theology and philosophy. Hence, for the five years after 1975, I made connections with 380 theologians including European scholars, and invited ten to twenty of them every week to hold continuous seminars with our students. They came first in order to check out our church. They engaged in discussions with our students; they could not win over the students, however, although they mobilized all their skills and knowledge. Our theological students would read the works of the professors in discussion and go into discussions in different sections; after three rounds of discussions, the students would completely win over the professors.
This year, we brought together famous theologians through conferences in Hawaii, Mexico, and Africa, and on October 4th, we made an organization with 180 scholars, 35 universities, and 18 trustees. Now we have completed the basic work for the sake of helping the American world of thought.
The second thing I did in America was to bring unity in the field of law. I brought famous lawyers together. The third is media organization. Already the third Divine Principle workshop is over, and we are laying the ground work for a media organization through establishing a wire service called "Free Press International." (80.11-17)
6. The Foundation For South And North Unification Through China
1) The Position of the People's Republic of China
Since the Adam country, Eve country, and Archangel country have developed from the individual because of the fall, God's providence of restoration brings them back as countries. In order to find such countries, the Satanic world has been divided into two. This is why Father Kim Il Sung has emerged in North Korea. If Kim is Satanic Adam, China is Eve. For this reason, China will be the most problematic in the Communist bloc. The most problematic country in Asia is neither the Soviet Union, nor Kim Il Sung, but China. The Soviet Union is just the formation. This way, those three nations are the Satanic Adam, Eve, and Archangel countries. (68-35)
In trampling down the Communists today, the battle between the South and North will determine the outcome of America's struggle with Communists around the Pacific. America does not compete with the Soviet Union directly, but Korea will decide the outcome. America's true border does not lie by Mexico but in Korea. There should be a showdown at the border. Now Kim Il Sung and the Soviet Union are united. My strategies are unfolding in such a situation. Korea is the Adam country, Japan, the Eve country, America, the Archangel country, and Germany, the Cain-type Adam country.
As the Abel and Cain countries come into Asia as one, according to the principle of restoration through indemnity, conquering China will mean Satan's loss of the Eve country and thus the end of the Satanic side. In other words, when China is turned around for us, Communism can be easily handled. I will take care of North Korea. For this fierce battle, I made conditions for thirty years, forgetting everything and receiving persecution. When one of our leaders accomplished the automobile production plan in China and reported to me, I said, "A result of thirty years' suffering has arrived." It is not one year but thirty years.
Otherwise, there is no way that South and North can survive amid the superpowers. With God's concern and protection, Rev. Moon was born as a Korean and built a foundation through which America, Japan, and China can be joined to crush the Soviet Union; through this, the way will open for Korea to survive. (86.1.21)
China needs help from God, America, and the Free World (86. 8.20)
2) Ways to Renew China
In China, signs that she will not stay imprisoned by Communist ideology are appearing in many areas. Especially, in non-political fields such as economics, culture, and sports, she is pursuing open and pragmatic policies. I believe that soon Korea will expand its non-political exchanges with China. The question is what kind of attitude North Korea will assume when Korea-China relationship develops. Now China cannot be regarded as a part of the Communist bloc headed by the Soviet Union. China is turning around towards a socialist political system and a capitalist economic system. In the fields of culture and arts, I expect that she will resurrect the traditional Oriental culture and expand exchanges with the world.
The change of Chinese position will have great implications for the South-North relationship. Now, it is the Kim regime that sees a crisis. They are struggling with the question of power succession and unresolved problem of economic revival, and are being isolated even in the Communist bloc. Chased into the comer by the changing international politics, they may even attempt a military action against the South, but if we are prepared, the South-North relationship can find an easy resolution. (86.10.21)
I have been making preparations for ten or twenty years for the future foundation. Knowing that China would return to the side of the Free World, I have been praying and preparing since thirty years ago. (86.10.21)
7. The Soviet Union Today And Us
1) The Strategy of the Soviet Union
Today, we are under a constant threat of invasion by North Korea or the Soviet Union. As you know, the harbor of Vladivostok freezes up in the winter, and they need the Korean Peninsular, whose harbors do not freeze in the winter. Furthermore, if Korea falls to Soviet hands, Japan will naturally come within Soviet influence. In an effort to conquer Asia, the Soviet Union is trying to take over the Korean Peninsular first.
Do you know why the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan? In order to keep China in check. Ten or fifteen years from now China will grow substantially in power, and it will become difficult for the Soviet Union to contain China. The neighboring countries of the Soviet Union are turning against her, and if China comes forward with an anti-Soviet motto, a federation can be formed at once against the Soviet Union. Behind the Iran-Iraq war, there is also the Soviet conspiracy to expand its domain of influence. Also, you should know that the securing of military bases in the Indian Ocean and moves in Japan and North East Asia are all part of their world communization strategy. Ladies and gentlemen, what will happen to Korea when Japan falls under the Soviet influence? What will Kim Il Sung do? This is a serious issue. (80.11.1)
After the Korean independence, as I saw the Soviet Union developing under the leadership of Stalin in the fifties, I was determined to weaken this country. Although I did not have my own foundation, God struck them down. God struck America and the Soviet Union. Thus, thirty years after the foundation of HSA-UWC, I declared the collapse of the Soviet Union. On the other hand, the downfall of the Free World was declared when I arrived in America. There is no one who can handle the Soviet Union. No matter how confidently the Soviet Union says that their Communist theory will conquer the world and the proletariat will vanquish the bourgeois regimes, it is nothing but a vain dream, a pointless act, and an empty word. It will fail and disappear. If you look closely, the highest leaders of the Soviet Communist Party are not themselves Communists, which shows that the time of Communism is over. This is why Gorbachev is coming forward with a open policy towards the West. (163-154)
Now is the problem. What kind of time is now? Not only Korea, but Japan, China, the Soviet Union, and America have problems. Those countries who emerged as world leaders are lamenting, "Oh, it is big trouble to be standing in front of the world, although we thought that when we advanced to this position, everything would be ideal. Now this gives us headaches. We must retreat!" Now is the end. The Soviet Union has been pursuing a utopia, providing economic and political assistants to many parts of the world, but now problems have grown out of hand for them. So they are in retreat, reducing aid to Cuba and the Third World. Furthermore, there is an irrepressible storm of ideological breakdown in the Soviet Union. America is going through the same turmoil.
Soviet leaders are not true Communists. The time of Communism is already over. The theories proclaimed by Marx and Lenin have lost their credibility. Their impracticality have been clearly demonstrated by reality and scientific data. The world is already aware of it. (168-84)
The Soviet Communists have conquered all the countries they targeted except for Korea, owing to the activities of the Unification Church and VOC Federation. So it is a matter of course that they consider us the prime enemy. Japanese Communists started monitoring the Unification Church after they were expelled by VOC Federation and CARP. They lost their foundations in the US as well. Although they tried to kick out Unification Church through Frazer, they ended up losing their own foundations. We clashed against Communists in Europe as well, and they were also expelled in Germany. (88. 1.1)
2) The Collapse of the Soviet Communism
When we consider the Korean academia, they have a great hope in their relationship with the Unification Church. When I say "great hope," no one will take it as an empty propaganda, right? When I asked Dr. Kaplan, a famous political scientist at the University of Chicago, to declare the collapse of the Soviet Union, he called our leaders three times and pleaded with them, "In declaring their downfall, let us not shoot them directly but do it in a more roundabout way." He did not want to make a direct announcement. Furthermore, a few famous Soviet specialists from Harvard and other well-known universities pulled back.
Kaplan also visited me in prison and made a desperate plea. But I dismissed him and told them, "Who do you think I am? If you declare this, the Soviet Union will fall, so declare it." Now, they recognize that I have sharp political senses. I told them that what they find out from scholarly researches and discussions is not everything, and they see now that my opinion has been correct. Now the Soviet Union will be changed. (168-39)
I declared the collapse of the Soviet Union in Geneva. With this declaration, heavenly fortune came. When you speak up, you should do it the loudest in all history so that it even wakes God up from sleep to come and listen; only then, can heavenly fortune come. (laugh) We should make noise. The collapse of the Soviet Union! I asked great scholars of the world to proclaim this. I did it in Danbury. Instead of thinking of how to get out of the prison, why was I worrying about a collapse of Soviet Communism? This is a crazy thing to do. But I do not only look at a plane but at all three dimensions. You don't have such a world, do you? You don't know the spiritual world, do you? In understanding the spiritual world, all the religious leaders must learn from me. (168-34)
3) Moscow is Where We "Must Go"
Now the problem is not Korea but how to handle Communists, who will liberate Moscow? Will it be liberated while we just sit and talk? There are dozens of Unification Church members who were imprisoned after engaging in underground mission activities. Knowing this, how can I live a comfortable life? (86.3.9)
We must save the world. We work not only for the Free World but we must also go to Moscow and save the Communists. (86.3.9)
You should know this. What are we going to do through America? We are not out to dominate the world through America. Rather, this is the final strategy to go to Moscow. We must liberate Moscow. Only then will God and True Parents be liberated. After this, there will be no persecution. Then, there will come an age of complete world peace. We will progress towards the kingdom of heaven, which is shining with God's love and eternal peace and where there are no dark clouds. May you go to the world of peace through eternal love. (161-194)
What should Rev. Moon do? When America is saved, and there comes a position of glory, I still cannot ride upon America and say, "It's all done." If we stop here without looking for a way to move up to the world level, everything will be shattered away. Through a victorious foundation in America, we should save the world. As soon as we stop at America and forget about the world, we will be taking a separate path from God's providence. As soon as the Washington rally was over, I declared the Moscow rally and started making the preparation. Since then, we have been preparing ourselves to defeat Communism and achieve victory in Moscow. Then what is the aim of Rev. Moon? Where should we go after the Soviet Union? We go up to God's bosom and to the place of God's purpose. After Moscow, we should unite the world and heaven and earth. (161-96)
After winning at the Washington rally, where can we win next? There will nothing left to fight against, then? (laugh) (Moscow) That's right. You say "Moscow, Moscow," but I say "Must Go." Moscow is a place where we must go. (Cheers) Although you may not know this, Communists know this, and they hate me. Considering this, we cannot win unless young supporters of Rev. Moon are stronger than my active opponents; we won't be able to go to Moscow. You must be stronger than they are. (79-305)
Disciples of Jesus went to Rome even when it meant death for them. How about you? What will you do if they threaten to hang you? Will you be better or worse than the disciples of Jesus? (Better) Will you go to Moscow? (Yes) I said that you must go to Moscow. (laughter) It is not a laughing matter. It is not a laughing matter. (81-116)
Now, There is no more place for me to do a rally. I have filled the big squares with crowds in Japan and Korea. In America, center of the world, I filled squares of the eight biggest cities and filled Yankee Stadium. So if we fill Washington DC, there is nothing more to do except for things to do in the spiritual world. (Moscow) Moscow is your responsibility. (88-125)
Now, as a volunteer army of righteousness and commanding generals, I plead with you not to bring down the dignity of God and mankind. The problem for us is not just Yankee Stadium or Washington. Going beyond this, we should go to Moscow and bring it to God's bosom. I hope that you make daily determination to advance to this final frontline. (81-45)
I said before that Moscow is "must go," right? Who should support this? (sisters) So far, sisters have not had a name in history. (81-36)
When I gather tens of thousands of sisters from many countries and say "Attention," they should say, "Yes," "Salute," then "Yes," "Go back, then "Yes," and "March to Moscow," then everyone should march. Is this done by force or voluntarily? You should think about this. (81-37)
4) Our Plan for the Moscow Rally
God is working with the principle of being hit and then taking over afterwards. Whenever I went to prison, our Church went up by one stage. When I came out from Danbury, American people as well as religion welcomed me. Is this a going up or going down? We have been going up all the time. If I come out of a Moscow prison, then perhaps we will rise up directly to heaven. The Moscow rally will be accomplished very soon. I established the Summit Club. I plan to bring about fifty former heads of states to meet Gorbachev. Soviet leaders will have to welcome the Summit Club. I will be there as one of the chairmen. When I met Gorbachev, I will persuade him. Do you think I will be persuaded or he will be persuaded?
There has been no word "retreat" in my life. So far, I have been pushing forward against all the storms of the world. I have fought with 240 million Americans, and finally won. The plaintiff was the USA and the defendant Rev. Moon. Now, as far as American culture remains in history, they will have to kneel down to Rev. Moon. (88. 1.1)
My prayer is already made into a formula. I don't pray much. When I just close my eyes and pray, heaven already comes. So I just keep running for God's Will. I run more than pray, and act more than think. So far, I have been paving the way to go to the Summit Conference. If we bring about fifty former heads of states, and I go as their chairman, they will have to accept us. Can they reject us? We can make an academy, connecting professors from satellite countries such as Poland. We can connect world-renowned artists. I connected famous ballerinas and established the Universal Ballet. If we keep connecting people, all the Soviet people will be influenced by me.
Now is the time to restore the Communist bloc. Since I declared a Moscow rally, I organized the science conferences as a preparation to go there. After establishing an association of small nations and an association of former heads of states, I will visit Moscow with fifty heads of states as the chairman. Then Breznev will have to accept us. Then we can bring a mobilization team of a few thousand and do a rally there. We will do it with the presence of the Soviet police.
So I am preparing for such a thing. Let's see if it works or not. Because I talk about these things, many people in our country say that we go beyond national interests to talk about international issues. They say that even ten years ago they thought that it was a dream but now it is right. (86.1.1)
There may come a period of political confusion before Korea sees unification. Especially, I see that this period will substantially emerge after the Seoul Olympics. just as darkness precedes the bright morning, the political situation will become chaotic. World politics will be entangled and unraveled centering on Korea. By the end of the Olympics, relationship with the East European Communist bloc will be established and through this Communist influence will also come along. Then, the atmosphere for South and North unification will mature, and unification through a South and North general election will be discussed. Since there is tension and hard feelings between the ruling party and opposition parties, however, they cannot actively respond together to the rapidly changing international situation. This may result in Korea's loss of leadership in the unification process. Then, the people will be greatly confused.
Section 4. Unification For South And North Korea Through Elections
1. The Time For A General Election In South And North Korea Will Come
What kind of issues does Korea have to deal with from now on? The Presidential election and elections for senators both can be issues to deal with but they are not important issues. There is a more important issue. In this UN's general conference they selected the Korean issue as its subject and discussed the general election with South and North Korea under their surveillance. Until now North Korea has refused that. However, when they have assurance that they will accomplish their plan and goal after reinforcing underground organizations in South Korea, I am sure that they will say, "Let's have the election." Then, how can we deal with this? What the Unification Church has to worry about is how to deal with this. For that reason, it is more critical to promote a national movement to prepare for the general election with South and North Korea that the coming Presidential election. (16-68)
I believe that Kim Il Sun will assert the general election with a peace offensive ahead after this 1988 Olympics. (Jan. 21, 1986)
Look. The time for the general election with South and North Korea will come soon. It is wanted by China, by Japan, by the US and by Soviet Russia. (165-188)
The political regime of North Korea retreated to the corner of the Communist bloc by the Olympic participation of the USSR, China and the satellite countries. It is exactly God's providence. In Kim Il Sung's generation, they have never retreated this much. The political situation is even more difficult than the time of the defeat in the June 25 incident of Korea. Being kicked out by the USSR, by China and by the satellite countries and being pushed into the comer by the world media, they are in such a miserable position. Therefore, they might commit provoking acts since they are in bad shape.
They might try recklessly to communize South Korea before the Olympic are over. My present strategy is to disconnect them even from Communist parties. Therefore, we must know that a dangerous time is coming up to us now. If Kim Il Sung doesn't commit any provoking acts and he thinks it will be difficult to accomplish, he will suggest the general election.
How will Kim Il Sung feel when China, the USSR and the satellite countries visit Korea for the Olympics and the election goes well in South Korea? He will urge the Communist countries to open their boundaries and visit each other, and say, "Let's have the general election," under the USSR's support and China's protection. The US and Japan will support them more than anyone, because they will be able to sell their products for double if it happens.
When the time of God's providence comes completely, North Korean Communists have no way but to be absorbed. You have to know that we will confront such a critical situation immediately. We have to hurry to prepare for the time. If we don't prepare, South Korea can be destroyed. I knew the time would come and I have been preparing for 10 years for that. You must now these facts clearly. (Jan. 2, 1988)
In light of international political moves, how should South Korea unite South and North Korea? I see that it will be done by a general election. China wants it, the US wants it, Japan wants it and even the USSR wants it. For them to be able to come to the 1988 Olympics, they don't want any unnecessary incidents. We have to be serious about preparing for that. Do you understand? "Yes." We should be able to do that since we know the time, shouldn't we? (165-130)
When we consider Kim Il Sung's nature, he will think, "Forget it. Neither China not the USSR is reliable. We should make a surprise attack to South Korea and conquer it." If he can't make an attack, he will urge the general election. If he suggest the general election, the USSR will like the idea, China will like it, and the US and Japan will like it, too. There is no way to avoid the flow. Therefore, what is important this year is to create the unification of South and North Korea. (Jan. 3, 1988)
Now, people in front of Kim Il Sung are ready to turn around to get out of there over the 38th Parallel. People in the South are tired of watching political parties fight and they want to turn around to get out of there. Where can they go? They should go to North Korea. People in the North put their backs toward the South and are trying to walk backwards, and people in the South are trying to walk backwards to go to the North. If both of them start the unification movement together on the 38th parallel instead of fighting, when they meet there? Things are moving toward that direction.
When we consider all of them, it is very likely that Kim Il Sung will urge a general election. What can we do then? If South Korea says, "let's have it in 3 months," they will say, "it's fine," in the beginning. But later, they will try to control the situation, suggesting to have it in 2 months, 1 month and 20 days. The compromising term will be 40 days. It will be less than 2 months. They will say that we should have the general election in 40 days. Then, 20 million in North Korea will all be Kim Il Sung's number one batters. How about the people in South? We will see many fellows who are in the gray area. At that time, we will be needed. We will be needed at that time. (166-125)
2. Stance Of The Surrounding Countries
The USSR is trying hard to change the nature of their structure now as that Gorbachev is approaching far Asian countries with friendly gestures. Gorbachev will propagate that his country is a friendly country at the Seoul Olympics and try to show peaceful gestures especially to the US. Gorbachev will suggest that the US let them have a general election for the unification of Korea. When the US receives such a suggestion, they will agree with it. Because the US knows that students, the office and the separated families in Korea want the plan fervently, they can't refuse to agree with it though they may feet uneasy about it.
Here, the problem is that the US military's withdrawal has to take place first. People in Korea are in favor of the US's withdrawal nowadays. It is because the US treats Korea as a subordinate country and even interfere the internal affairs.
Along with Gorbachev's suggestion for the general election with South and North Korea, because of the anti-America movement, the US military will have to withdraw. It is obvious that the Korean government will be in chaos when they receive a suggestion for the general election. The Democrat and the Republican are two parties in the US and the Democrat is asserting the withdrawal. They will think that the USSR's suggestion is the good opportunity to make the withdrawal from Korea in honor so that they will withdraw.
If the candidate from the Democrats becomes President this time, it will be obvious. If the Democrat makes President, even without the USSR's suggestion, they will withdraw the military, maybe not completely but definitely part of it. After the Second World War, the US helped many countries as a part of the policy to support foreign countries for 40 years. The problem is that it will be recorded as the diplomatic failure of the US if the military withdraws because of the anti-American movement, and the influence of the US in the international society will be minimized for that. Therefore, there is no doubt that they will withdraw the military. Also, they will be optimistic about the result for the general election because the population in South Korea is twice as much as in North Korea.
When the USSR suggests the South and North unification plan through the general election and the US agrees with it, North Korea won't have any choice but to accept it. They are not powerful enough to refuse the USSR and they don't want to be isolated in the world. (May 1, 1988)
When we consider the political stances of South and North Korea, the US, Japan and China, no one wants to fight for that. They don't want to fight. For that reason, it is clear that these 3 countries will be combined to coach Korea to establish their government peacefully. We never know when it will happen. The US wants it to happen soon, Japan wants it to happen soon and China wants it to happen soon. North Korea used to have the forums for discussion but they closed them out. The time will come when they have no choice but to resume the forums by the pressure of the international climate. (163-323)
Circumstances surrounding Korea are heading for unification. Except for the political relationships, in the fields of sports, culture and economy, the wall of the ideology has crumbled. Many Korean corporations are busy launching their businesses in China and the USSR and the Eastern Europe bloc has started their full scale interchanges. Some business entities have already finalized the trade contracts.
History is changing rapidly. The time when Kim Il Sung was actively involved with the political movement centering on the communist countries is over. Today's world history is heading for a peaceful era. However, true peace will finally return only after the liberation. (Jan. 7, 1988)
3. We Who Are Responsible For The Nation
What will South Korea do if North Korea asserts unification through a general election? South Korea has presented peaceful unification as their plan. Peaceful unification means to have a general election. Now, South Korea has no preparation for the general election. The people have not received enough ideology and education and their organization hasn't been completed.
Now is the time when all administrators including the President and leaders in various fields should go through a drastic awakening. Korean leaders should give up their easy life to pursue the unification for their motherland, with new determined attitude, and they should build countermeasures for the long run. They must complete the 1988 Olympics successfully and proceed centering on the upcoming unification movement.
Though the US is the strongest economical nation in the world, they are having a tough battle with communists. Communists have established quite a large base in Japan, too. Communists are communizing the world regardless of any economical power. Though it's true that economically weak countries have more of a tendency to get involved with communist propaganda, economical power alone can never overcome communism. South Korea can't avoid its destiny to confront such vicious communists. We might be able to pioneer our lives but our destiny can't be change by our pioneering. Your being born as so-and-so's son is an unchangeable destiny. In the same way, a nation has to go through its destiny. The people of the nation should be responsible for the destiny of the nation. (Jan. 1, 1988)
Kim Il Sung will urge the unification for South and North through a general election when he thinks that he has completed his education of 20 million in North Korea. After this year's Seoul Olympics, the unification of Korea will be the center of worldwide attention.
People from over 160 countries will visit Korea during the Olympics. As athletes from a majority of communist countries visit Korea, they will realize that they have been deceived by Kim Il Sung. They will see the overall development of South Korea including the politics, economics, culture and sports and their concept toward South Korea will change as they compare with North Korea.
The whole world will know that South Koreans are culture-centered race who pursue peace and prosperity, and their suspicions about Korea will disappear. All of the countries in the international society will be willing to have relationships with South Korea. It will mean North Korea's isolation and they will be in the position to be alienated by the countries of the world. Kim Il Sung knows this more than anybody, so he has started a scheme to stop the Olympics in South Korea. However, the Olympics won't be held anywhere else this year even if South Korea has the misfortune to not hold the Olympic there.
4. The Strategy Of North Korea For The General Election
So, they have been trained with the same numbers of administrative districts. It means that they have been preparing for the general election. (163-184)
In order to have a general election, we must spend at least 3 months to prepare but Kim Il Sung will urge us to have it within 40 days. He will urge us to have a general election for South and North within 40 days. Even if we suggest to have it in 3 months, he will say that he would like to have it in 2 months. If we agree with it, then, he will tell us to have it in 40 days. He will try to shorten the time. The reason is because they have completed their preparation. They have made a district structure in South Korea and dispatched their personnel. They will send the political propaganda team to the counties and they will make contact with the underground leaders to start their strategic propaganda with all of the underground members. (165-190)
If a general election is to take place, people in North Korea will push to have it quickly. They have completed organizing their structure. When they are mobilized for a general election, they will mobilize the entire nation, so that they can start the propaganda as soon as they arrive at South Korea. They will try to finish everything as soon as possible. (163-323)
What father worries about is the unification of South and North. The unification is the unification through a general election. Kim Il Sung will confront us centering on the Koryo federal system. He is planning to do so. Because Kim Il Sung knows that his objective foundation is growing, he will insist on that way. He even knows that there are some remnants of the Nam-Ro party. There are some leaders who can became powerful in South Korea and they think that they can do such things when they arrive in South Korea. That's way they are planning to make an invasion upon South Korea.
They will make a complete organization and bring a political operation team to dispatch them as succeeded leaders. Can the current government do that? Can the current parties do that? We must prepare for that situation. If the authority can't deal with it, we will be the foundation to protect the country. Do you understand? "Yes." It is the foundation to remain alive. You should know this very clearly. (167-81)
5. One Candidate For The General Election
South Korea must work on the liberation for North Korea after they develop the industries, promote the economy and stabilize the political situation. The 6th Republic should set a clear goal to build its political measure. When the fight against North Korea and the general election become a reality, it will be a problem that over ten parties are busy fighting each other. North Korea is united centering on the Kim Il Sung party. If 4 parties fight to be the ruling party in South Korea, it will only make Kim Il Sung happy. (April 7, 1988)
In South Korea, they should make the Korean Unification Party, rather than the conventional ruling party and opposing parties, for the general election to make all 40 million people into one. I am not making this up. If South Korea has 3 or 4 parties right before the general election, what will happen? We must know the it will only make Kim Il Sun happy.
I am telling you that when Kim Il Sun urges the general election, all the parties, including the ruling party and the opposing parties, should be united in South Korea. (Jan. 7, 1988)
Having the national election ahead, all parties should be united for the general election with South and North. Even if there is only one party for South Korea at the time of the general election, the result will be very open. Therefore, what will happen if there are 4 parties to fight against Kim Il Sung's communists? A new party for the future should emerge in South Korea and everybody should be united centering on that party.
The general election is coming closer to us and it will be hard to overcome the communists with existing political parties and leaders. Even if a united government is established, how can they fight against senators from the communist party? They can only fight against the communist party if they know about it. Isn't it obvious that they will loose the battle since they know nothing about the communist party? When we think about these matters, we see very serious problems. When the president is elected for a united Korea, North Korea will provide all kinds of support, including money for one candidate, and South Korea might have many candidates. If there is only one candidate from North Korea, how can we stop him?
North Korea will send hundreds of thousands of excellent lobbyists for the election. First, they will try to infiltrate through their relatives and friends. Secondly, they will try to bribe people with money and bribe government officials. Finally, they will blackmail or threaten people and even assassinate leaders or start terrorist acts. North Korean communists will come up with an armed revolt as their last card. They have many other plans for the election. What could be the countermeasures for South Korea? We have to educate people and make an organization with considering those matters. (Jan. 1, 1988)
If the general election with South and North comes up, Kim Il Sun will be the exclusive candidate since he is the dictator. It is definite. Twenty million will vote for him. What will happen with South Korea? Well, when the united government is established, everybody will try to make himself a president and they will do anything for that. (165-189)
What did I say is the subjective ideal? The subjective ideal is centering on love. What are the contents of love? God. What's next? "True Parents." It's True Parents. (164-95)
Our subjective ideology is different from the subjective ideology of Kim Il Sung. It's not the subjective ideology of communists. As we hold the subjective ideology of love centering on God, our goal is to be qualified in the authority and conduct of our responsibilities to all of the creation and the Creator. (164-104)
Today, a revolutionary government has emerged and is emphasizing the subjective ideology. It is a good term. Subjective ideology. What shall the person who becomes a subject do? We should know that a person can be a subject under the guarantee that he will be responsible for all matters. Not just anyone can be a subject and a leader. Not just anyone will be the president of the company. The president must be responsible for all the matters, good or bad, in the company. Then the person can be a good president. (83-321)
Don't compromise with the USSR or China. You must compromise with God in the subjective position. It will become the subjective ideology. Even if you compromise with Korea, it's history won't be able to lead mankind. By knowing that it can't receive God's providential course, you must unite with God's laws. In a subjective ideology, principals of God, saints, loyal merits and filial sons are bound together.
When this nation is educated and armed centering on such an ideology, this nation will be a great subjective nation in the world spiritually and physically. (Oct. 4, 1978)
What do we need? People and families that have been centering on their own people and families. Where can they find the way of saints and the direction to lead saints and to make the will and the purpose one? When it is determined, it will be the greatest subjective ideology in the world. Today, subjective ideology is discussed in Korea, but we are in the age of the world. When we look at all of the cultural realms, the subjective ideology of Korea shouldn't be the one centering on the history of Korea.
If the history of a people can represent the central position in world history, it may be accepted as the subjective ideology. But we cannot discuss the subjective ideology without any connection to the main ideology of the entire world history. A subjective ideology can't be establish until it provides an historical background which is common to all races and goes along with God's Will. (84-187)
What is the subjective ideology? It can unite the world and it is the ideology of peace. We can conclude that it was God's strategy to have made religions flourish to keep the ideology in this nation. Therefore, we must unite religions, unite internal standards and unite external standards. It should be done for peace. For peace! The purpose of politics is to create peace. (Sept. 1, 1987)
6. The Reason For The Separation Of The South And North
Right after the liberation of Korea, the Korean political world was in confusion among the powers of America, China and the USSR, and while Dr. Lee established the political regime, the assassination problem occurred. In the Christian world, Christians worshipping God, Jae-Kun Church that was imprisoned, and other spiritual groups etc. were causing confusion. It happened because they didn't know God's Will.
For 40 years since then, everything has perished. The nation was separated into South and North Korea. It's been 42 years. 43 years is the limit. I tell you that 43 years is the limit. If we can't bring the heavenly fortune in unification during this period, we will perish. Why was Korea separated? Because it didn't have a unification ideology. There was no subjective ideology, that's why. (166-153)
There was no nation in Korea at that time. There was no nation. Korea without a nation had to show the way to reach the world by connecting to the US and uniting with the established churches. However, there was no Christian leader who could show that to the people. Why was it so? In light of God's general providence, 3 years before 1948 was a confusing period. It was a confusing period without an ideology for the leaders.
Dr. Lee, who had been the independence movement activist in America, returned to Korea, Master Kim Koo, who had gone to China, returned to Korea, and all of the patriots in the USSR returned to Korea, and all of those who had various backgrounds trying to establish their own foundation. They fought each other. But there was no subjective ideology. Korea didn't have a principle with which it could integrate ideological views such as America's and the USSR's, or Communism and Democracy. There was no ideology for the leaders. Because of these confusing circumstances, North Korea went its way and South Korea went its own way, too. (164-129)
Korea had three parts. One was for the USSR, the other was for China and the rest was for the US. Those three groups were fighting each other. At that time, there was no subjective ideology. There was no subjective ideology to show Korea to reach the world. Each party was fighting for its own good and each church was fighting for its own good, and it continued for over 3 years. Then North Korea came to establish its government and South Korea established its government and centering on August, 15, having no choice but to be separated into two. (165-292)
7. We Must Establish A Supra-Racial Subject Ideology
Forty years ago, with the fanfare of independence, all kinds of patriots in foreign countries, people who were called patriots, started to return to their mother nations. The main groups were from the USSR, China and America. Those three groups caused a great problem. Even the Nam-Ro party centering on Kim Il Sung was combined, although the main group that established the government abolished the Nam-Ro party. That kind of fighting took place.
However, there wasn't any subjective ideologies for Korean people then. There was not a subjective racial ideology to show Korea that it has to go a certain way, or that it has to be influential to Asian nations. For the old and the young, there wasn't any emphasis to show the way. Like at that time, things are going in a similar direction. Trust in the Government, confusion centering on the US and the USSR with assassinations and shooting, all this is occurring now.
Where shall we go? We can't follow the US. Neither can we follow the USSR. We can't follow China or Japan. When we look at the position of Korea, the surrounding nations are all powerful nations. But currently we can't simply depend on a powerful nation. America and Japan conflict in the trade imbalance. And China and Japan are the invaders that took over our country 40 years ago. More than that, the USSR is a communist country. Centering on the relationship between Korea and the US, can we always trust the US? Look. The US is calling us the second Japan and control the trade. They will kick us out if it's for their own good. As to the nature of our country, there is no nation to relate to our country. Can we be connected with communists, with China, with Japan or with the US? (166-119)
Today, one thing that Korea, in terms of a subjective ideology, should know is where it can find the subjective ideology that transcends races. That is what I am planning to discuss with the President.
If we can find the origin of a subjective ideology here with no regard to race, it will be ideal. But if we can't find it here, what will happen? If Korea can show its historical view as a main line ideology of world cultural history, Korea will be able to be independent with a subjective ideology. But if Korea can't show it, our historical view will be over and it can't go on to the new world dimension.
The strategy against communists is the same way. Communism is a world ideology. World ideology. Because communism is a world ideology, we can't prevent nor digest it with a nationalistic concept. Without showing an ideological structure which can prevent world communism based on a world and a supra-national ideology, we can't destroy communism. (85-118)
You should know that we are entering the world competition age. As Korea is trying to find the way to win the economical competition, the Unification Church must go on to the world competition stage to establish a new subjective ideology that forms a cultural realm centering on the Unification Ideology. We have to know that such a mission is waiting for us in the world. (Oct. 4, 1978)
One thing we have to finalize is how to control and smash communism, and it is the destiny Korea has to confront. We have to educate the youth centering on it and arm them with ideology. It is good to have a commercial relationship or whatever to unite South and North. Everyone there is red. For that reason, we have to arm the second generation of South Korea with the ideology of love completely before we can confront them. Rev. Moon asserts that if South Korea can establish a subjective ideology according to the Heavenly laws, involving ideologies of filial piety, loyalty and devotion, South Korea will never perish. (Oct. 4, 1978)
The nation has built a structural standard. It is necessary to unite centering on the subjective ideology in a relative position. Such a unification form has been automatically established internally and externally. (81-285)
Section 5. Unification Of South And North With True Love
1. The Reason Why We Must Love Our Enemies
What is Satan targeting now? It is targeting God precisely. God must be the existence that keeps the ideal standard forever. God will accept the fact if you ask that. If Satan asks, "God, did you position the Archangel with temporary love or eternal love?" how will God answer the question?
God will answer that he positioned him with eternal love. If He acts with temporary love, God becomes a temporary existence. If He can't hold the standard of eternal love, someday He will loose his authority to enforce it. Therefore, no matter how Satan opposes Him, God only has to build the standard to love him. Satan will say to God, "Even though I fell and have become a bad existence, you and good people can't use the same method. I like to fight but you shouldn't like it; even if you are hit, you must persevere."
God is non-resistant. Why is that so? God has to love under any circumstances until Heaven on Earth, God's fervent desire, is established. No matter how enraged and lost Satan can be, God can't punish him. God has to set a standard that, no matter where Satan is, He loves him, and unless Satan says, "Oh, truly God is God. I can be happy," God can't have a complete victory. It is a problem. Because of this problem, God is tied up by Satan. If God goes such a way to overcome Satan with love, then we, God's children, should go that way, too.
If God treats Satan as his enemy and foe, and has a mind for revenge, God can never take the place of the winner. For that reason, God has proceeded with the strategy of "love your enemy." The conclusion of Jesus' teaching was "love your enemy." (Apr. 3, 1983)
It is a great deed that God's only son, Jesus, prayed for Satan while his enemy was trying to kill him. If Jesus had resentment against his enemy for being killed, the history would have been reversed. Because he overcame his death with love, Satan had to surrender to him.
It is the way to remain as God's son forever. Satan approves it and gives his signature for it. If you ask Satan, "Satan, am I truly a son of God?," he should answer "Yes, that is correct." You will say, "people living like me expand the relative realm of God, isn't that so?," to Satan and Satan should answer, "yes, since it's the Principle, it should be so." You have to act that way.
In this way, the providence has developed centering on the realm of Christian culture, depending on this criteria. You have to keep going for the movement of love even if you are on the way to sacrifice, in the position of a martyr or in the position to shed your blood. Romans who persecuted Christians severely were overcome by the love of Christians that loved the enemy. Christianity has became a world religion that way. (Apr. 3, 1983)
2. The Starting Point For Heaven Is The Enemy Nation
Until now, Christians have considered only individual enemies. But that isn't right. The Unification Church must love the enemy nation and the enemy world. That is the starting point for Heaven in the enemy nation. Because the starting point for Heaven is in the center of the enemy nation, if you don't build the tradition there to start with, Heaven on Earth will never be realized. If such a tradition is established, any ideology that surpasses it or principle that takes it over will not be seen in the future.
Building a world level foundation in the four largest enemy nations, building the foundation of tradition, we will start Heaven on that foundation. When it has happened, Heaven on Earth starts there. (Apr. 3 1983)
God's Will isn't to love individual enemies. In the highest dimension, we must love the enemy of the nation. For example, the Japanese and I, a Korean, can be considered enemies because I was in the underground anti-Japanese movement under the Japanese rule. But I saved the people secretly who had imprisoned me and gave me a hard time. At that time, Japan and Korea were enemies, Japan and America were enemies and America and Germany were enemies. I practiced the Heavenly law of love by bringing Japanese and German people to America to save a dying nation. I have emphasized to Germans and Japanese to love America, which had been their enemy, more than their motherland, otherwise a new ideology couldn't be raised to lead the world that God desired. That way I have established the tradition. Do you think it was easy?
Unless we establish a tradition to love enemy nations more than the motherland, we can't realize Heaven on Earth. It's the only possible way to establish such an historical tradition within the love of God. For that reason, I who know the law of God poured out my efforts establishing The Washington Times and a radio station to save America while America persecuted me and imprisoned me. Now I have gathered strategists from all over the world to put China in order. I will do anything with my organizations and people that God desires. Even if you have abilities, you will be taken over unless you have certain results. We are working hard to accumulate the result. The fact is well-known and the movement is emerging as a generally accepted new movement. Without practicing it, we can't realize the world of the love of God which overcomes nations. (March. 14, 1986)
You have to remember this. In my position, Japan is my enemy. It is my national enemy, and my individual enemy. But after they lost the war, I loved the Japanese. I even saved a Japanese policeman who was chased. Do you know why the Japanese young people are pledging their lives for Father? Because of the law of cause and effect, they have to repay me, because I have planted love in the world according to the heart of God's Will transcending nations and because I planted a heartistic foundation that leads people to the way of living by loving national enemies.
Those Japanese policemen who arrested and tortured me for underground independent activities could have been executed if I accused them. But instead of my doing so, I helped them escape. Today, Japanese people are sinners in front of me. They are following Heavenly order unconsciously. England is in the realm of Christian culture. If God selects England over Japan, what will happen? Nevertheless, the Unification Church was started centering on the worst enemy nation. (April 3, 1983)
Father has resentment even to the Japanese emperor, however, I cannot get revenge by barging into the palace and stabbing him. It doesn't make him pay everything back. He's already a loser. God never hits the perished. God gives mercy to those who accept their own sin and repent. Because we have God, if we take revenge on the loser our descendants will perish. For that reason, we pray for them and we give them guidance. We have to do the same to the communists. (25-333)
America is Rev. Moon's enemy. In order to save the enemy country, I am working for this country even though my own country has so many problems, including my parents. In order to save the satanic world, I have given everything; family, relatives and my nation. Currently the Korean situation is much more difficult than America's, then why don't I go back to Korea? Because I have to save the enemy nation more than anything. I will go back to my country after saving this nation. It is the Principle. It is the traditional view. You must know that. Because it is not a satanic view but a heavenly view. If you live according to that and create such circumstances, Satan cannot invade it or control it. (161-249)
The established churches fought against us, didn't they? They became our enemies. But from now on, we must not fight our enemy. We have to unite with the enemy. What do we do after uniting with them? We have to save Korea according to God's will. After uniting with them, the two of us have to take over North Korea. If it had happened right after the liberation, if the established churches had united with the Unification Church. At that time there was no government. Things could be solved in an instant. However, it didn't happen and the circumstances got more complicated. For that reason we have gone through enormous sacrifices to overcome our enemies without attacking individual enemies, family enemies, racial enemies, or national enemies. (65-221)
If we go to North Korea, you will see all communists are armed with their ideology. So, we have to arm ourselves with the ideology of love. The North Korean culture is still in the ice age. That civilization came from the USSR. We have to be in the realm of the warm climate civilization to be able to melt them down. Unless we can do it, both of us will perish. We have to arm ourselves completely with our ideology.
The ideology shouldn't be only for individual good, but for saving the whole world. It shouldn't be self-centered. Communists are always centered on a few leaders. They don't accept anyone but Kim Il Sung. They don't accept anyone but Mao. If they see the enemy, they will chop their head off.
We are different from that. Our ideology is to unite with the relative circumstances and set the higher dimensional standard. It means to serve the higher parents by uniting Cain and Abel. (63-53)
South Korea will not overcome North Korea violently. We must have a strong foundation of our ideology. We have to love our nation more than they love their nation. And we have to love God more than they love Communism. We have to be superior in character so that we can overcome them naturally. Otherwise we cannot absorb North Korea.
In other words, we have to be the people who can overcome the North Korean People armed with their ideology by a higher characteristic standard in real life. Unless we create the circumstances where we can influence them, we cannot restore a Cain nation. If we can't restore a Cain nation, we cannot establish a restored nation which leads to the Heavenly nation. (46-123)
Even though Korea is separated, we have to liberate North Korea without fighting them. We have to overcome Kim Il Sung naturally. (Nov. 19, 1981)
3. Measures To Unite North And South Korea
Now we are hoping for the unification of the South and the North. What can be the measure to unite them? Unless you show the higher purpose of the Unification Church, the unification will not be realized. If North Koreans go to the South, and South Koreans go to the North, emphasizing their own way, it won't be realized. If anyone loses, the unification will not be realized. It's only possible if both of them gain a benefit. Isn't that reasonable? When a man and woman get married, they don't unite to have a loss. Therefore we have to find a way to gain a benefit for both of them. (61-73)
Now Korea is separated into South and North. They are going in different directions, one is South and one is North. They have different purposes. When we consider the unification it is a serious problem. Who can fulfill this subjective mission? If South Korea volunteers for that, North Korea will oppose, and if North Korea volunteers for that South Korea will oppose. If each of them are stubborn about their own claim, they will never unite.
It is a problem how we handle this. It is essential to have someone in North Korea who loves North Korea more than anyone. He should love North Korea more than North Koreans love North Korea. There is not any other way to solve the problem. If there are patriots in South Korea, and in North Korea going in the same direction, a measure for unification can be made. Do you think there is any other way? No matter how you think about it, you will not find any other way.
Then what will happen to this nation? This nation is divided by the 38th parallel and the Unification Church members are on it. What shall we do? That is a problem. It is a problem to find a solution. We have to work harder than North Koreans and harder that South Koreans. How can we present our supranational patriotism which was established by such hard work? That is the solution to save Korea. We have to think that way. It is the same as uniting the evil world and the world of goodness.
In this light, Jesus was great. It's not good if one loses by fighting. Jesus said that the only way to live for God and the Israelites is by dying. That was the reason for the cross. Because he loved mankind more than anyone, and he loved God more than anyone, history took a turn into a new direction. That is the start of the Christian culture, it is an historical truth. (61-125)
God is the only way to survive. In front of God's will. . . It is Jesus' teaching that you should sacrifice for the Will of God. It is the traditional way, there is no other way to survive. There is no other measure for unification. There is no other way to unite the South and North unless you become the people who can die for it. There is no other way for the unification. (61-136)
4. You Should Have The Heart That You Truly Desire To Live Together
When we think about how humans should live or how we should decide the direction of our lives, the outline should be the way of filial sons, the way of loyal people, the way of saints, and the way of holy people. It means the heart which desires to be together and to live together forever. It is the life filled with the heart that desires to live together regardless of the person's position. That is the conclusion. (Oct. 11, 1986)
When you say you'd like to live with a person, what makes you say that? It is not power. Power cannot win over history. Power is a temporary thing. Knowledge, the world of knowledge makes development, doesn't it? When you are in the academic world, do you feel like living with academics forever? It is clear that what we want forever is not knowledge or money.
In this light, what is the element which transcends time and position? It is love. Therefore, the filial son means he's the person who loves his parents. Also patriots are people who love their nation. Saints are the people who love mankind. Holy people are the people who love God. If you have a patriot's heart, which wants to live in the nation forever and feels pain when the nation is in pain, it is not a temporary thing. It is important to have such a true heartistic foundation. (Oct. 11,1987)
The people who have love and make a connection of heart are allowed to be in the realm of unification. Even if a woman is ignorant when she marries a professor yet makes the connection of love, she becomes the wife of a professor in an instant. So if you make a connection of heart, you are allowed to be in the realm of unification because God has such an existence. If you have an element to be united with Him, God will give you the permission to be there, automatically. (Oct. 11,1986)
Where can we start unification? Where and what can we start the unification of the South and North with? With fists or power? If we overcome the opposite side by force, another fight will occur when the opposite side's power gets bigger. Therefore we cannot unite that way. Even though we live in South Korea, we should have the heart that we want to live with North Koreans and be united with North Koreans to open the way of unification. North Korea has a hard time because, Kim Il Sung's dictatorship created a closed society. If you know the history more and more, we understand the misery of the people underground. Our enemy is Communism, not the people. If South Koreans sympathize with North Koreans and cry for them, saying that they are thinking about the difficulties of North Korea and they prepare for the liberation of North Korea, the day will come soon when South Koreans enter North Korea. (Oct. 11, 1986)
You started a local folk school not so long ago, didn't you? The professors of universities, how much do they think about the homeland? We have to think about how to live with our homeland. If you don't want to live with your parents and live in your homeland, you cannot be a patriot. If such people said that they loved their nation, it's a lie. If you live in your homeland, you will live with the world. If you live with the world, you will live with God. Therefore, if you don't love your homeland and the local society, you cannot love your nation.
Well, do politicians love our nation? They don't know what's going on with the nation and they're busy fighting over the presidency between the DJP and the New Democrat Party. Let them try. if they don't have the heart to live with the people sincerely, they will all be taken away. No matter how capable they are they will be gone like bubbles. If the leader doesn't love the people, he will be judged by the people and the history in the future. (Oct. 11, 1986)
We cannot unite the separated South and North without effort. In the fight of patriots, it is necessary to have determination and practice to overcome difficult circumstances. Truly wanting to live with and die with. . . We would like to live with our ancestors and other spirits, too. . . We have to start unification right here by your being such professors and students.
When the South and North are united, the democratic world and the communist world will be united. You have to be able to see the future of the world and the nation as the representatives of mankind, Asians, your school, and your disciples. And you have to pledge that you will be involved in the movement in order to live with them together. It relates to the duty of saints and you will be like saints. Because I know that if you practice a holy person's acts you'll become the successor of God, I'm telling you this. (Oct. 11, 1986)
5. The Unification Of The South And North By True Love
The Unification Church should kick out Kim Il Sung. Because communists deny God and have killed people mercilessly, we recognize them as the enemy Satan and work on the mission to crush them. South Koreans also should be on the front line according to God's will. Why do they have to do that? If Korea is united, the world will be united automatically. Do you think that unification can be realized by military force? It is impossible. If it were possible, I would create any kind of device, but it can't be done by military force (I am speaking about this). (March 14,1986)
Human society has been deteriorating since the Fall of Man. All philosophers pursue their own good. We should clean them away. Is it possible to clear out a philosophy which has been rotted by military force, economic power, or knowledge? No it's not. Only true love can do the job. This love means the love from God. If you have a connection of love with God you will possess the subjectivity, independence and right to inherit. In the world of dynamics the output is smaller than the input. But in the world of love, the output is larger than the input. It is our limitless. . .
What is true love? It is a love you give without limit, but you forget about it. You don't remember about giving it. Also, no matter how much you give, it will never run out. When the 90 year old parents of a 70 year old son say, "Be careful with the car" it is still natural. No matter how many times the parents repeat the phrase, the son will never tire of it. Even such parental love of the fallen world is so great, that there is no way that we could bored by the love of God in the original world. When we expand the subjective realm of God and realize that the glory of love is forever we can rationalize the ethics of spiritual world centering on human love. Who knows such a truth?
When I was laying down in the prison bed in America, God visited me and told me that I should solve the problem of Nicaragua since I was the only one he could trust. How come I am the only whom God seeks? In America, which is the representative of the leading nations, there are 240 million people, including countless educated people. How pitiful God is, that He cannot relate with them, but only me. It is fortunate that at least God knows how to find love. For that reason, if I didn't work on South America it would have already been devastated. (March 14,1986)
In our time, what we want is the Unification of the South and North. God wants to establish the foundation in our family and our church. Where can God rest? Through the unification of North and South Korea. How can we do this? How can we wash out the dirt? What can we wash it with to make God say it's clean. It's simple. You should create circumstances and offerings with the love which surpasses the love for your parents, for your spouse, or for your children. The ideal unification, ideal integration of culture and the unification of physical world and spiritual world will be realized. And the liberation of hell and heaven can be realized. You cannot open it without love. You need the key of love. (Nov. 8, 1987)
The unification resulting from my mind and body's love can always relate to the unification of family love. The couple who creates harmony with love can reach not only their family but their nation. If the couple becomes one with love who can destroy them? Harmonious family, harmonious nation, harmonious government, harmonious world, harmonious heaven and earth and harmonious love, if they can be one with God, I think that is the Utopia of Love. There would not be any separation there. Where God knows. . .
As all kinds of plants absorb sunlight for their lives, our love is our source of living for human beings. Our eternal hope and desire is to build heaven on earth and heaven in heaven where we can live with love forever. Is there any value of life and the subject or object of love with authority.
How much can we see the value of life, or the subject or object of love, that can emerge as the subject of this world?
All of you professors who participated today, please don't forget, and I hope that you can be the people whose body and mind are united to love your wives, families, race, nation and world.
If you become such people, the unification of South and North will be done. Do you think that commercial trade can realize unification? No way. Even the communist ideology has no power against God's love and is absorbed and evaporated because of it. We just didn't know it. Only if we have the heart to love, then there will be no problem for unification. Not only that, also the problems of East and West, and South and North will be completely resolved by God's love.
Centering on God's love, when the peaceful, limitless border is created which can connect races, families and individuals by absorbing the world ideal and the national ideal, a Utopia will be built on earth for certain. (March 14, 1896)
You must confront communists and fight against them. I can't fight them as a parent. Also you can't fight them with violence. You should fight with love. Communists try to kill the democratic world, but we must create a world by saving the democratic world and the communist world. (April 15,1980)
Korea is separated into two isn't it? We have to integrate them. We have to integrate the South and North. With what? Not with violence. If God can integrate them with love, it will be the deepest point of the final destination. Where? The 38th parallel.
If Kim Il Sung says, "I have to go for it," and the USSR says, "I have to go for it," and China says, "I have to go for it' and the ruling party and the opposing parties all say, "we have to go for it," when the 38th parallel is connected, everything will be done. Then, will everything perish, or be prosperous? Everything will be over and a new start will take place. (164-58)
Section 6. Our Mission For The Unification Of South And North
1. Responsibilities Of Political Leaders For Unification
In any given time, people who can decide the destiny of a nation are few. When a nation is in crisis, the way to resolve the problem is many times started by one person. The nation can survive, not by the collaborated decision of many people, but by one specific person's opinion. However, if the nation doesn't follow this one person's opinion, this nation may be left behind in history. We know this through established history.
In this light, to see this nation, where is the nation of Korea going? It's a big problem. If God does exist, will he forsake Korea? If he did forsake Korea, there will be nothing to discuss, but if He hasn't forsaken it, there is a Will of God for this country. We have to think about everything in this light. The world is watching Korea. (63-272)
What should the President do for the nation? He shouldn't ignore the opinion of other parties even though he became President by the endorsement of only one party. He should be able to apply the opinions of all the parties for the sake of the government. Also, he should gain support from all of the parties to deal with the unification of South and North. That is the President's mission and responsibility.
What should be the focus of policy for the next President? I think that he should focus on unification, the people's very hope. We shouldn't forget that North Korea has been focused to communize South Korea for over 40 years. Kim Il Sung. Has been creating an enormous organization centered on world-wide communism. He has provided education for them and has prepared arms to wait for a chance. In comparison to this, there have been no leaders trying to prepare for the unification of the South and North. From now on, we have to unite all people for the unification and focus national power for unification. For this, we have to create a way for all parties to participate. We have to create a criteria that can unite the people of this nation. For the government to unite the nation, there will be many obstacles. (Jan. 1, 1988)
In Korean history, the person who realizes the re-unification will be recorded as the greatest person in history and his name will remain for thousands of generations. It will be the greatest work for a President to realize the re-unification. Also, we have support him to accomplish this work in our lifetime. The President who can liberate North Korea will be a great President and he will be able to survive with his people.
The reason to support the government in spite of any persecution from the people is for the liberation of North Korea and the unification of South Korea. No matter who the President is, no matter what the ruling party is, we will support them to accomplish this work. (May 1, 1988)
If a person becomes President, instead of seeking a higher position, he should seek his people. He should live for his people. (61-235)
The president of South Korea should have the attitude to sacrifice for the sake of the liberation of North Korea. Otherwise, this nation will not receive a blessing from Heaven.
When the unification of South and North becomes very real, they will confront a serious ideological conflict. We have to prepare for that time. All of the people should be armed completely with an ideology. Also, a leader who can lead the unification should emerge in South Korea. This person should be able to prepare to receive Heavenly fortune. Also, Japan and America should have many people who can inherit the Heavenly fortune.
Father has been preparing for the world. If you can't prepare for your nation, you will be despised forever. (Oct. 21, 1986)
2. The Attitude People Should Take
Everybody loves their own hometown. But you shouldn't damage you nation because of it. You especially shouldn't be involved with arguments between local areas. You should give up your feelings to separate the nation according to areas, such as Chun-Ra Do or Kyung-San Do. You should be able to sacrifice your area for the development of the nation to support the unification of South and North. The government should be able to give up prejudices and have a policy for a balanced development.
You may not be able to solve local conflicts, but you can ease the bad feelings. You have to go back to your own hometown, show the reality of communism by your love and sacrifice and create a unification movement to unite the people. We shouldn't let the left wing power utilize local conflicts to separate the nation. We shouldn't give communists a chance for infiltration. (Jan. 7 1988)
When you go back to your hometown, you should reverse all of the relationships. Because it is difficult presently to unite people who are separated according to an area, we should reverse everything in basic order to unite them. Because of the previous presidential election, the conflicts among local areas got worse and the problem is now serious. Kyun-Gi Do, Chun-Ra Do and Choong-Chun Do are all separated and we can't overcome North Korea in the general election unless we cure this problem.
Today, the angelic world and the spiritual world can come down to Earth to support you and they can get rid of the obstacles in your way, so trust them and unite the divided people. For people who oppose you, they will only retreat if you mobilize the spirits of your ancestors.
If South Korea is united, it will win over North Korea in the general election. When South Korea is united, we will send the people who were kicked out by Kim Il Sung's communists and those whose families were executed by those communists to North Korea. (Jan. 1, 1988)
The nation should sacrifice in order to protect its sovereignty. Since North Korea is targeting South Korea, South Korea must protect its sovereignty even if it has to sacrifice the entire nation. It is the normal thing to do.
When a united Korea goes on to the world, it should become a nation that can represent the traditional ideology to sacrifice the nation for the sake of the world. If Korea can do so, even if it looses the physical nation and sovereignty, this national ideology will remain to lead the world on, even to the 30th century. You should know that. (56-273)
When we look at South Korea today, we can assess the future development of this nation by how much interest the mountain farmers have for their leader. People should have interests in either their leader or the policy. It is the decisive point for whether this nation will be prosperous or perish. (42-111)
Well, Korea is separated into South and North. You shouldn't think, "So what. It's fine with me. Let's not think about it." South Korean people should have the attitude to invest more effort than the North Korean people. (71-94)
Our nations should unite, regardless of their position. Grandparents and young people are all included. We should have one common purpose.
North Korea has almost double the population and a stronger military force. They are digging tunnels and living on barley meals. Do we even eat barley? What do we fear when we have much better conditions? (78-81)
Korea, today, is going through labor pains in shifting to a democratic stance. Free democracy is the political structure with which Korea will be developed. For that purpose, the ruling and opposing parties should be united through understanding and dialogue. Furthermore, they have to prepare the way for Korea to be a part of world history. If Korea can overcome today's situation, it will have a hopeful future. For that reason, all religious groups and people should not be onlookers, but should take a subjective position and encourage people and put forth their efforts to establish a democratic structure. (Oct. 21, 1986)
3. We Should Go The Way Of Love Following Heavenly Fortune
We have to follow Heavenly fortune. If Korea gives up Asia's fortune, it will be disqualified from pursuing individual and national fortune. Korea should be the one to support the Asian fortune following Heavenly fortune. Unless Korea follows Heavenly fortune, it won't be protected by it and Korea will perish. Then the is conclusion that no matter how much you may know about the way, you can't go without learning from Rev. Moon. Today is the same. Do you understand? "Yes."
There is no other way for Korea to go on to the world. You can't save the North Korean people with your fists. There have been many ideas for unification. At the time of President Lee, he tried to do it with military force. President Chang advocated peace for unification but he had to struggle more for the industrial reconstruction since it was urgent. President Park tried to do it by making both sides equal positions. Currently there are the South North Coordinating Committees for the governments to interchange, but each has a different structure. Each has a different ideological concept. South Korea's unification ideology is immature. Can South Korea take over those who are in the individual structure and the communist ideological structure? No it can't. It is their developmental discussion to expand their lives with a conflicting concept. There is no way to deal with North Korea through ignoring such an ideological background.
For that reason, South Korea should hold on to the government which can take care of North Korea with a love that surpass the love for one's own brother. Now Chun-Ra Do and Kyung-San Do are fighting each other to take over the country, but can they realize re-unification with that kind of attitude? No way. They will all perish. They will perish. My words are irritating. But I am saying the right thing even if they don't want to hear it.
South Korea must follow the Heavenly laws of love to go on to the world. If an individual lives that way, he or she will go on to the world. If the family lives that way, the family will go on to the world, too. When we go on that way, centering on the love of God, who is the center of the universe, we can belong to God, we can receive God's guidance and management and we can receive the protection for certain. That way, we can belong to God completely. (168-230)
4. We Have A Sense Of Subject
Think about this. Are flesh or bones more essential for the human body? Obviously bones are more essential. However, no matter how good looking the person is, can we like the person's bone alone? Think about a person without flesh. I believe he will be difficult like that. When flesh is added on to the bones, the person becomes handsome and human-like. In this light, there are many essential things that don't play the central role and are not treated rightfully, and don 't appear as important as they are. That is a fact.
In history, no matter how much persecution the nation receives, if a nation can remain with an ideology that doesn't change for thou. sands of years, it will eventually lead history. The reason that the realm of Christian culture has been formed is because Christians have been unchanging. Because history couldn't overcome ideologies, blood and flesh were added to it and established the realm of Christian culture. (18-235)
Today, looking at history, it is obvious that we are in the last days. What will happen to Korea in the future? What will happen to the nation? Nobody knows about it. What will happen to the democratic world? Nobody knows about it. What will happen to the communist world? Nobody knows about it.
In this light, the world is in the dark, isn't it? In this dark world, no matter how much people are confused, we have to became leaders with a subjective ideology to crush the darkness and embrace this dark world and show the new circumstances. (49-99)
As we are going towards the final crossing point of the world that is so overwhelming critical, it is the most important issue for religious people in Korea how to keep the subjective ideology even in chaos. It is also an issue for Koreans overseas. Korea itself has to solve the problem. It can't choose everything. It must recognize the subject and the object, God as the subject and humans as the object, and know where to stand and what to do. We are marching into the overwhelming crossing point and now is the moment. (65-152)
Today, we are living in a confused society. Also the world situation is in confusion. We are surrounded by the environment. If we became the people who are absorbed by circumstances and pulled away, we will be losers for sure. No matter how confused and complicated an environment we are in, we must have a standard to overcome the circumstances and bravely break through them. We must be able to resolve the circumstances. Unless we become the substance with such a standard, we will not find value in our lives and we won't be able to contribute for God's Will in the future. (25-80)
5. The Way For Patriots To Overcome Crisis Of A Nation
When a nation with 30 million people confronts a crisis, not all 30 million people can save the nation. Even if there are billions of people, not all of them can save their nation. It will be one person who can set a standard and save the nation. A nation can be saved by the influence of one person. He will appreciate the historical accomplishment of goodness in the nation more than anybody. Also he is a patriot who is responsible for all the problems of the nation presently and has a clear vision for the future of the nation.
The assertions of this person becomes the beginning point to pioneer the way to save the nation. Thus, not by all people, but by one person who represents the nation, the nation can be in a new fortune. On the contrary, we can also miss the new fortune. We must know that.
If we don't have such a standard to go over the steep hills of hardships, we can't to set a foundation for the new era in the history. (26-256)
We have to offer ourselves for the public mission. We should travel all over the nation and look at the mountains and the roads, saying, "please accept me." We are different from visitors or people who worried about this nation in the past. In the past, there were people who worried about Korea and shed tears under 40 years of Japanese rule but we are a different breed. (58-160)
We must go on centering on the goal to restore Korea to God. As Jesus fought to save the nation risking his life, we have to fight to save Korea with our lives. The Unification Church has its own method and strategy. Our method is to take over by shedding tears, blood and sweat and to take over by being persecuted. As a result of this, we could avoid the sorrowful position of losers. Because you have experienced these kinds of results, you should keep this strategy constantly. We must realize that we have so many responsibilities and even if we multiply our bodies, it will not be enough to accomplish our responsibilities.
I have shed tears for Korea more than any patriot. I shed tears out of deep feelings. I don't need to claim it because God already knows it.
In the religious world, Christians prayed as martyrs, in the position to disappear like dewdrops. I have experienced this position, too. It's easy to die. It is much harder to go the way of death without dying and to accomplish destiny. (26-21)
The world is not be the place for the solution. Korea is the one. The time will come when Korea will welcome us with no opposition. When North Korea opens to talk with us of equal rights, we have to be in the superior position. We have to be able to feed and embrace them with love in order to melt them down. We still have to do that. For that reason, we have to train ourselves to love our North Korean enemies. (43-280)
6. Let's Go Over The 39th Parallel For The Unification Of South And North
Centering on Kim Il Sung, North Korea has prepared in every aspect including arming its people and fortifying its land. We have to prepare more than they. Day and night, we have to keep fighting them in order to achieve our goal. Anyway, you need to go to North Korea at least once in your lifetime. Do you know what I mean? You can make connections with families and brothers. That is the start and the goal. We have to achieve our goal in the land we lost. You have to remember that I have had you sing "Tong-Il" since 1965 to prepare for such a time.
Now, you must go to the North. When you hear that communists are invading South Korea, you must fight risking your lives. That is what I think. Since I started this way, I have known communists so well. I know the organization well. For that reason, I have worked for the VOC movement at the risk of my life.
Even though Father is in such a serious position, the Unification Church members are still sleeping. We are defectors who have lost the land, aren't we? We are part of the family. No matter how much hardship you go through, or how much persecution you receive, if you can keep the right attitude and the authority of Heaven and say, "this is the foundation of liberation for your resentment," to welcome them, you will be able to be a person who can have his own hometown and homeland. South Korea alone isn't Korea. If it's divided in half, it isn't Korea. You must know that. (45-141).
7. You Should Pass Over Love, Truth And Resource
The most difficult thing in the unification is for us to overcome everything so that we will be the subject. In that light we must sacrifice for the nation. There have been many difficult courses in the past but now we have to present resources that even communist will approve. When workers, farmer and communists who try to manage workers and farmers say, "the Unification Church loved workers and farmers more than us' and everybody agrees to that, we will overcome communists. You should know this. (61-263)
If three years are not enough, we should invest 10 years. If ten years are not enough, we should invest 20 years. If our youth is not enough, we should offer our middle ages. We will offer our whole lives to build the foundation for the unification. Am I right? No matter what age we will be, we should go on! It is the way of unification. The unification ideology starts there. We have to present a movement that overcomes communists. It is the Unification ideology to create a brave group that can overcome any kind of difficulties.
Even if the work is started centering on Rev. Moon, there is still possibility that we will be defeated. But if we go through the process with God as our motivation, we will never perish. It's Rev. Moon's conviction that even if the Rev. Moon of the Unification Church is perished, his will can be achieved. We never thought that the nation would be separated. Did you know that? We also didn't know that the unification fortune would come to us like this. It is important to find the solution that is hidden from us. (61-37)
8. Our Attitude For The Unification Of South And North
We have to build a highway on which people can be peaceful and happy. For that reason, we have to build a highway with which people can drive hundreds of miles. Even if our descendants may not know our names or appreciate the effort, it's our mission to build the highway. We must prepare a straight highway. It will be a hard work to do it in this small mountainous land. You may say, "Well the Unification Church's teaching is good and it's true, but it's a hard work to follow it. You are a coward! Some of you may be VIPs but Rev. Moon has no mercy once you come to the Unification Church and hear the truth.
We have to stand with the authority of Heaven. We, His children, have to accomplish the work that God alone can't do and make Him proud of us for that. In order to raise the authority of God, we can't be stuck with own authority. We have to raise the authority by controlling ourselves. We have to take care of all kind of problems. If there is a thorny path, we have to get rid of it and if there are holes, we have to fill them up. If there is a rocky field, we have to clean it and make a road for everyone. Day and night, regardless of what other people may say, we have to build the way. Even if we receive any compliment on the way, we can't to be satisfied and rest there. Even if some people accuse you, you are not in the position to fight against them. Because we have to hurry to accomplish right way, we will not have any time to waste.
It isn't my regret that my feet haven't covered this peninsula. It is my regret that my teaching hasn't reached 30 million people. For that reason, the Unification Church is working with its best effort to find the way like a sinner bearing a heavy load on his shoulder. Did you know this? (20-136)
Even though 30 million people sleep at night, God never rests, so that the fortune for 30 million people is created at night. History isn't created in the daytime. It happens at night. For that reason you should make effort while other take rest and have good times. We have to be busy.
Even though I want visit each house in each area of this nation hundreds and thousands of times, I am limited. That's why I told you to visit them on behalf of me. do you understand? We have to turn the cross around. If we don't go through number three, formation, growth and completion, we can't claim the accomplishment of our responsibilities for this nation.
What kind time is it now? It is the time for Israelites to leave Egypt to seek the land of Canaan. For that reason, we must put all of our efforts to notify Israelites in Egypt to leave their house at the certain time on the certain day. If you don't notify with knowing it, you will receive eternal punishment. Do you understand? Since we are getting into the age, regardless of their responses, we have to accomplish our responsibilities in front of the 30 million people. (61-222)
What is God's Will for Korea? In the Korean race, it has the ancestor's merits and God's blessing because it went through a miserable course. Because we can't pass this blessing over other nations, I would like to let you work harder, in the position that you respect and love your ancestors, than the other mobilization teams. Am I a bad teacher? Am I a bad teacher or a good teacher? I have worked in order for you to be in the center position. (61-224)
Today, we, the Unification race who desires the unification and the realization of God's Will, know that God is the subject. We know where the subject is heading for. We also know the developing steps to sacrifice family for tribe, tribe for race, and race for nation.
What should we offer here? We have to offer ourselves. We have to offer ourselves not mind and body separately, but we have to unite our mind and body to offer it at once. (61-261)
What shall we do from now on? For the unification, South Korean people has to go on more bizarre way than communists. If they have such determination, South Korea will be able to unite North Korea. However, if North Koreans can bear all kinds of limitations that South Korean can't bear, what will happen to South Korea? Will it be absorbed or not? Will it win or loose? Will the group which can bear the extreme standard win, or will the group which wants to avoid it win?
This is important. It is critical as a fighter in the final round in the history. If you can become a brave fighter, how much you can bear and overcome and how much hope you can hold with risking your life at the decisive point of the fight. If you can hold the hope to win the fight at the moment of death, you can absorb communists.
Communism embraces materialism. Do you understand? Communism is the ideology of materialism. For them, there will be nothing after death. But in the Unification ideology, we will fight and overcame even after our death.
If I tell you to do something, you will say, "not again." All of the leaders of the Unification Church should feel more responsibility. You should go on! I know many members want to excuse themselves... If there are many people who say, "I waited for the unification. I waited for the day, the evening and the night," and long for the unification ten times more than North Korea. (61-35)
