World CARP Conference in Boulder, Colorado: Challenge Yourselves

}in Hun Nim speaks to the participants of the World CARP seminar

Happy True God’s Day, everyone. It is a beautiful morning. The sun is shining. It is a wonderful day. I think it reflects Heavenly Father’s love and desire to give us inspiration and hope for this corning year. I think 1995 will be not only a challenging year, but a great, hopeful and exciting year for our World Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP). On the basis of the experiences you had over the last three or four months, you are now veterans. You are working on campuses and dealing with so many thousands of different people.

Father’s expectations and Heavenly Father’s expectations are very, very high. Don’t you feel that way? I am sure many of you could not go to sleep last night, thinking about many different things. The outside world celebrates New Year’s Day. People make personal resolutions. Maybe they want to undo a lot of sinful things they have done and change their lives for the better, but people have generally a very limited understanding of what they want to accomplish.

The celebration of True God’s Day is very significant. We dedicate our existence, our lineage, our lives and our love for our origin: our vertical True Parents, our Heavenly Father. How beautiful is this tradition! Why didn’t other religious traditions think about this? God is the Origin of our being, the Origin of the whole universe. The cosmos originated from God’s love.

It makes logical sense to dedicate everything, beginning the first second of each year, to Heavenly Father.

Father is always thinking of Heavenly Father, True Parents, True Children, royal families. In the original Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were supposed to become perfected True Parents, centering on love; but they failed. They could not create the ideal family, ideal community, ideal society and all the things Heavenly Father planned. Therefore, it is very important for Unification Church members and all humankind to dedicate everything to Heavenly Father.

Why are we here?

Why are we here? You have been asking that question from the moment you joined the Special Task Force (STF).You have been wondering about all these separate groups of people coming together. Our origin is Heavenly Father and True Parents, who represent the horizontal God. They are asking us to go out on the campuses of America. Maybe soon we can go throughout the world and do these things.

A couple of people I know very well have been calling me to ask, “Can I go back to my school? This is the toughest time in my whole life.” They cry on the phone, begging to be allowed to go back.

I have been watching you, listening to your testimonies and observing the transformations that are taking place in you. I see your higher spirits, your greater enthusiasm, your increased abilities and your greater self-confidence that comes from knowing who you are. Let me ask you, have you gained more or lost more by joining the Special Task Force, going to campuses, and sharing and teaching the precious content of the Principle?

You have been talking with people, not only about the Principle, but also about the spiritual world, Godism, true love - all the things that Father has touched on throughout his life.

Inherit from True Parents

This year’s motto, “Let Us Inherit the Realm of True Parents’ Victory,” is a relevant topic for the second generation. True Parents have accomplished it all. They want to pass on their living legacy from generation to generation. They want the heavenly tradition to be carried on for tens of millions of years. Through whom? The younger generation.

The Principle is eternal truth. It will not change. The things Father had to deal with are different from what people will have to deal with thousands of years from now, but the core essence and the fundamental questions, which Father dealt with, will not change.

You go to campuses every day, sometimes getting ridiculed and persecuted. Listen to the testimonies of the heartbreaking things the old.er people here had to go through. Don’t you feel there is something in them that you want to emulate? That is why you are here.

They do not have fancy cars. Fancy houses? Do not even ask! They have difficult times meeting monthly payments, worrying about salaries. They have families to take care of. They have nothing to show for their efforts externally. If you spend time with them, you discover how precious they are. Don’t you want to be like them twenty years from now? Even if you have no possessions, no fine clothes, no time to go skiing, don’t you want to be like them? I do not think they are perfect yet, but they are trying. Where else can you find such people? They gave up all their wealth and credentials. At a moment’s notice they are willing to go to Africa or Russia. They are dedicated for the bigger cause. Your original mind wants to be that kind of person.

Father is always talking about conscience. I heard testimonies of new members or second generation members who sometimes feel like giving up. You cannot fulfill your deepest desires with what is out there. Your conscience will not be satisfied. Your original mind pushes you to find something of great

value. You could pay people to teach you, give you hard times, put you through difficulties, and send you through a suffering course.

You want to do that because such a course will help you grow. You will understand Heavenly Father and True Parents by going through what they have gone through. That is the quickest way!

You meet people, teach them, and try to give them rebirth experiences. That is tough to do unless you can offer an unconditional, sacrificial gift. Every day we repent: “I have so many shortcomings. If only I were more articulate, more loving, more inspirational and more deeply connected to True Parents’ heart!

If only I could shed tears like Heavenly Father did for 6,000 biblical years I If only I could understand His heart, maybe 1 could do so much more.” Every day is an internal challenge as we seek to transform our lives.

How are you going to save people?

I grew up in our church. I think I attended over thirty different workshops, even so we struggle. As we grow, it becomes increasingly difficult. Your late teens and early twenties are the ideal time. I am really inspired by the second generation. When I was their age, I was not like that. If I had the same kinds of opportunities to go on the front line, challenge myself and discover myself in such a way, I am sure I would have grown to become a much better person.

Do not focus on your external circumstances. Do not cry over your miserable circumstances. There are many people more miserable than you. People on campuses are drugged out, drinking alcohol and smoking, engaging in free sex and homosexuality. People are crying every day. How are you going to save them?

Look at Heavenly Father and True Parents. How were True Parents able to survive so many years, sacrificing so much, living a superhuman lifestyle, sleeping two hours a day? Father always talks about children being better than their parents. This is the parent’s desire. A few days ago we were telling him, “Father, there is no way we can be like you! You are the only set of parents. No one can become like you. You are the greatest!”

Father’s connection with Jesus

If you count from age sixteen, when Father received the revelation from Jesus, this year is the sixtieth anniversary of Father’s mission. For sixty years, Father has made an uncompromising, absolute sacrifice for this mission. Think of what kind of person you were at age sixteen.

Several times Jesus, in tears, begged Father to take responsibility for this mission, but Father refused. Jesus told him all kinds of stories about the suffering heart of God. Jesus told him of the mistreatment and

persecution he endured as the Messiah, rejected by the whole world. Jesus shed bloody tears. Because of that, Father could not say no. Father’s motivation was love for Jesus and Heavenly Father. He was asked to take up the burden of saving humankind.

The first volumes of Father’s speeches are all about Jesus: his love, his understanding and his effort. Father was penetrating the depth of Jesus’ heart. The insights in Father’s sermons put famous pastors to shame. Father would spend fifteen to twenty hours a day in tears, pounding rocks, trying to understand Jesus’ heart.

In Hungnam prison, when Father was about to be executed, he comforted Heavenly Father’s heart: “Do not worry about it, Father. Four thousand years of foundation, You lost it all. I will take care of it.” Was he talking like an egomaniac? He is willing to take responsibility for everything he utters. His promise to Jesus was not empty. Most of you are between sixteen and thirty, older than Father when he made his promise to Jesus and younger than he was during his imprisonment at Hung am. Father is asking you to inherit the tradition and accept the responsibility.

How do we face difficulties?

How do you overcome difficulties? By intellectualizing them? Finding excuses? Trying to justify yourselves? You have to go beyond that. Do you wonder how Father and Mother have the energy to maintain their unchanging dedication? Do you want to be like them?

I ask that question every day. I want to be like them, but I know myself very well. In many ways I am a fake. We are all fakes. We try, but we are very limited people. We understand only ourselves: our outlook on life, our concepts, our relationships to the community and society. We do not have the background in our lineage to be able to look from Heavenly Father’s viewpoint. We are like blind men touching different parts of the elephant.

Father himself is still learning, too. In a way he is like a sixteen-year-old youth, trying to learn, trying to give more, and trying to touch more people.

You face difficulties. Every day you struggle. Do not tell me that is not the case, because I Un Jin Nim serenades the participants of the World know. It is productive, constructive struggling, CARP seminar on True God’s Day I hope. We are struggling to become better persons. Challenge yourselves. Put yourselves in more difficult situations. Be the best in everything you undertake.

My understanding of Father is that he is the kind of person who can become anyone to anyone. He can stimulate and raise up each person to become the ideal person, whether they are fishermen, farmers, scientists, businesspersons or military persons.

You may think Father goes out fishing for fun. Many leaders would prefer to sit through a long meeting than to go fishing with Father. To fish with Father is torture! Ten, fifteen or twenty hours a day on rough seas in a 27-foot boat. When commercial boats stay behind because of bad weather, Father goes out. I participated in Ocean Challenge for about a month. You wake up at 4:00 a.m. and go out fishing, no matter what the weather.

Father leads a V-formation of twenty or thirty boats on the one hour trip to the fishing grounds. I remember throwing up every day. I thought I was physically a tough person, but not when I am facing ten-foot waves. One day I even saw Father vomit. Don’t tell him I told you this!

Father thoroughly investigated every aspect of fishing. When he first tried fishing, people ridiculed him, saying, “The head of the Unification Church goes out there every single day and does not even catch a single tuna. What a crazy lunatic! What is he trying to prove?” After many fruitless weeks, when other people were catching one tuna per week, he began catching two or three tuna a day.

People respect Father’s reputation

Father is in the process of negotiating with the Paraguayan government for one million acres of prime land. He regrets not asking for three million acres. The government is seriously considering this request because of Father’s worldwide reputation.

An outside agency has investigated and concluded that Father invested and lost more than $1.4 billion dollars on the Washington Times. What a crazy business! Yet the Republicans won a landslide victory in last November’s congressional elections.

You may wonder why Father does not spend one percent of the $1.4 billion on us. I would make sure I would spend it wisely!

If he had done that, this room would be filled with thousands and thousands of people. Christians buy people with promises of success and happiness. People are deluded into thinking that their sins can be forgiven and they will have prosperous afterlives, even when their lives are corrupt. Father refuses to do that. Through sacrifice, he will make you ideal people.

Look what Father did for his worst enemy, Kim II Sung, who bowed down to Father. Just before he passed away, Kim n Sung told his son, “The only person to whom you should listen and trust is my former arch-enemy, Reverend Moon.”

Even an evil person testified to the greatness of Father’s unconditional sacrifice. He bowed down to Father and said, “You are my Savior.” What a great testimony!

There are so many thousands of thoughts running through my mind about Father’s accomplishments. “I have finished my Messianic mission,” he has proclaimed. He has fulfilled Heavenly Father’s desire. Do you feel it out there?

America is deteriorating. There are hopeless, confused people, addicted to alcohol, drugs and free sex. Is the Messianic ideal fulfilled? What makes Father so confident that he has accomplished his mission?

True Parents’ unconditional love

Most important is the vertical tradition of True Parents, which cannot be destroyed. True Parents set the absolute, unshakable tradition of true love. The most difficult thing to indemnify in our daily lives is our relationships with other people. To maintain a friendship is a struggle. It is so difficult to love and share a sincere heart with another person. How much more difficult it was for Father to go through all eight stages of restoration and indemnify all these relationships!

Sometimes I feel that Father looks at blessed children and feels hopeless. Maybe Satan uses us to try to discourage Father and Mother, too. All the tactics and schemes Satan could muster and learn he poured out on Father. Read the poem Father wrote while in high school about the people who persecuted him.

People like you and I keep a checklist of all the wrongs done to us and plan how to get even. Such attitudes lead to confrontation, abuse, exploitation and war.

True Parents have been able to touch millions and millions of people with the absolute standard of unconditional love. Even if someone spits at them, they love him. Strictly analyzing it, we are children of Satan and are therefore enemies, but True Parents are giving more love to us than to their own children.

To conquer the whole world is probably a cinch compared to restoring one person. How do we accomplish mind-body unity? How do we reach individual perfection? Father says it is much more difficult to have mind-body unity than to conquer the whole world. Before you can contemplate conquering the world, you have to conquer yourself. How difficult it is to eat less, sleep less and overcome sexual problems! If you cannot do it at a young age, it becomes worse and worse.

The standard of true love is to invest and forget it. That is the only way Father could survive untold suffering. He could love America, Russia, China and all the people he met who have betrayed him. That is why he and Mother are our True Parents. They are the True Parents of love.

Every day of my life with True Family is a testimony to that. True Children’s course is just as difficult as Father’s course. When Father and Mother are at East Garden or in Korea, they cannot spend time looking at their own children and saying nice things to them, because their minds and energies are totally occupied with leaders’ meetings and plans for saving the country and the world. Father is immersed in his mission, even when he is physically with True Children. True Children have just as great a capacity for loving and understanding as True Parents do. They are very sensitive people. When their own parents

treat them like that, it is not easy.

When I was growing up, we were living in circumstances maybe as difficult as what some of you Russians went through. It was very, very tough. In the Unification Church, we have kids first - as many as possible - and worry about taking care of them later. I remember skipping meals and having no socks to wear in the cold winters. I had much resentment. Most of the time my parents were away, but at least I had the luxury of imagining that if they were with me, they would hug me and take care of me. I was sure they would express their love and concern.

When True Children are with True Parents, even inches away, True Parents cannot afford to look at them and smile at them. In a way, the practice of true love is ruthless. To be honest with you, many times that is how I felt. I thought that true love should be a lovey-dovey kind of thing, but Father set the tradition of absolute, total sacrifice for the mission. I still cannot fully comprehend it. Sometimes I cannot accept it. “Father, smile at us when you talk to us,” I want to say.

Father is a very principled person. He said, “I will abandon my family a hundred times over if they become a burden.” You heard how he turned away Ius mother at Hungnam prison, telling her: “If you are going to be a burden to God’s providence, go away.” He can be that tough even to his own children. Pray about this.

Participants join together in song

Be true to yourself

What is the most sincere way you can dedicate yourself? To be true to yourself is more important than going through superficial acts. Do you do something grudgingly just because everyone else does it? Do not just be a follower. Ask questions: “How did it happen? How did Father do this? What does the future hold for us?” Ask. Ask. Ask. Ask questions. The more you study Principle and understand True Parents, the more questions you should have. Ask yourselves what you need to learn more about to save people. Be more constructive. Reach out to more people. Create a bigger foundation to fulfill your mission. Ask how you can be a greater help to God’s providence. That is the young people’s prerogative.

The first generation is great. Without asking questions, the first generation was willing to go out, with only a moment’s notice, when they received an order. With absolute trust in Father and Mother they faced the challenges. Ask them questions and learn from them.

Just recently Father met with the second generation. They pursue academic credentials, business, power, money and knowledge. Those are important, and they will help you do great things. Much more important is the internal attitude. Can you inherit True Parents’ sacrificial tradition to save all people?

Ask yourselves what you are doing here. Are you gaining or losing? Are you going in the right direction? Is it worthwhile to dedicate your lives for this cause? No one can give you that answer. You have had

three days of fun, excitement and skiing. It is good, You work hard and play hard, too. The important thing is to challenge ourselves to become bigger, wider and deeper persons.

Ask questions. If you cannot find answers in the Unification community, create your own community. Father is talking about the dawn of the era of conscience. In the Completed Testament Age, we must follow our conscience. We do not need the Bible. We do not need religion. Religious traditions, such as celibacy, were necessary in the historical setting. To fulfill the ideal of creation, we need to form ideal families. Can celibate individuals form perfect families?

Father is telling us to listen to our conscience. Father says Teacher is our conscience. When Adam and Eve fell, who knew about it first? Their conscience told them that what they had done was a terrible, terrible sin. They were the first ones to cover themselves.

True Parents and True Family have the ideal form, the ideal tradition and the ideal example. By emulating their lifestyle, you automatically enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The Family Pledge reveals how we can form an ideal community in our family. We grow as children, as brother and sister, as husband and wife, and as parents. With all the education we can receive in an ideal family, we can reach out to any person in the world.

America still has a long way to go to reach that kind of understanding. All the answers for which American young people are desperately looking are revealed in the life course of True Family, especially True Parents. They dealt with all these problems and became victorious. True Parents have become champions in all the zillions of levels of love. They have perfected love in the family, society, nation, world and cosmos.

What you have to do is simply study, follow, practice and experience this in your daily lives. It is very simple.

Dr. James A. Baughman leads a song at the World CARP seminar

I am going to give you hell

I keep telling myself to be nice to you. You have been through a difficult three months. I had brief encounters with the Mobile Fundraising Team (MFT), and I have tremendous respect for those members. I am going to give you hell. My own experience tells me that the more difficulties I give you, the better people you will become. The more challenges I provide for you, the better people you will become.

You have been through boot camp. Now you have a little higher rank. To reach the level of general, you have a long, long way to go. To be a general you have to fight more wars, endure battle scars, and overcome death-defying situations. I do not consider myself a general, but at least I am trying to take care of you guys as an older brother. It is my mission and responsibility to give you a hard time!

Father has given CARP the mission of taking care of the second generation. Honestly, the second

generation has many problems. What you have been taught all your life about Divine Principle is not the same as what people experience in the outside world. Many times you are able to compromise what you believe, because most of the time it is still a concept and concepts can easily be compromised.

People will try to make you compromise. Your challenge is to intelligently maintain your dignity and love for Parents while at the same time winning people. When people challenge you, you can respond with pride and dignity: “Who the hell are you to call me an evil person because I am a Unificationist?

Tell me about your life.” You can say with confidence: “Maybe my life was messed up before I joined this movement, but I changed my life. Who are you to tell me I am doing something wrong?”

Antonio Betancourt speaks to the participants of the World CARP seminar

Father keeps testing me

You are all trying to become true children, sons and daughters of True Parents, right? In that position, you should be willing to receive everything from True Parents: their glorious foundation, their heartaches, their sadness and their misery. Your attitude should be: “Let me unburden You, Heavenly Father.” Even now, Father is testing me many times. “Are you willing to be a sacrifice?” he asks me. “Are you willing to die for other people? Are you willing to inherit that tradition?”

Do not be content with small accomplishments. Father is always talking about conquering ourselves and achieving mindbody unity. To transform one individual is more precious than conquering billions of people by force or buying off people.

Christians pray to God: “Make me happy. Make me prosperous. Make me successful. You are Almighty God; take care of me.” The Pilgrims and the early Russian Orthodox Christians lived for their country and for God. Can you find such Christians at this time in America?

The Christian world is recognizing Father. We have educated thousands and thousands of ministers in America. Jerry Falwell and people of conscience in America are beginning to recognize the contributions and sacrifices Father has made for America. For the first time in forty years, Abel-minded people like Jerry Falwell are testifying to Father, and evil people like Kim Il Sung and Kim Tong Il are bowing down to him.

We are on the verge of something great. Tomorrow we will talk about some of the hardships we are planning for you. To report to Father is a real struggle. Once I mustered all kinds of confidence and said, “Father, by such a time I will accomplish this much!” Immediately Father said, “Why are you so small- minded? Are you going to be content with such a small accomplishment? I am so disappointed with you.”

(Laughter.) I am a pretty optimistic person myself, but I do not meet even one-tenth of Father’s expectation.

It is most fearful that what Father is asking of us right now is possible. People are desperately looking for a group like us. They are looking for people who have something genuine to offer that can transform their lives.

Take care of other people

This is such a beautiful place. When I stand on the peak of the mountain, I wish I never had to go down. As young people, we can be totally in tune with nature. Be champions. Learn to inspire people. Share this precious content and give people hope. They are dying, right in front of you.

You may have many personal problems, but let me tell you: the quickest way to take care of your own problems is to take care of other people. When things get tough, the tough people get going! There are all kinds of troubles and temptations, but I totally immerse myself in my work and mission. Every day we have to challenge ourselves like this.

The breakdown of love relationships and the breakdown of families are manifestations of the fall. True Parents and True Family have a proven track record. They have established the absolute tradition. Have confidence.

When I meet first generation people, I tell them, “You guys are missing out. You dedicated decades of your lives. At the end of your life marathon, when you are about to enter Canaan, the Kingdom of Heaven, you protest that things are tough, that you have a house and children to take care of. You are giving up!

What a foolish thing to do!” You who have just joined are stepping in and getting close to Father. You are stealing their foundation. Still, you have to respect the first generation. Without hesitation they sacrificed everything for future generations. You are the fruit of their dedication. If things do not change in your lifetime, at least your children will benefit from your work.

Father is now talking, not only about how he began his ministry, but how to end his ministry. Just as he began his ministry on the battleground between the worldwide forces of God and Satan, that is how he wants to die. It is very painful for True Children to listen to those things. We want True Parents to rest. We want them to enjoy what they have accomplished.

Father is always talking about the past generations, present generations, and millions of generations into the future, centered on true love. The tide is turning from the satanic side to the heavenly side. The Russian brothers and sisters here are a testimony to True Parents’ efforts.

You in the second generation should work just as hard as people in the first generation. Someone testified that it is boring on campus, because there are no radicals. There are only Christians pleading with Jesus to save them. At least the radicals created some excitement.

You are 18, 19,20 and 21-years old. These are precious years for developing internal attitudes, standards and practices. Persevere through the challenges. Overcome the difficulties. Set your tradition. Create heavenly habits that will last your lifetime. When Father was in Hungnam prison, he formed heavenly habits. Father says that even if he wants to sleep more than two hours, he cannot.

I think of True Parents as being in the highest orbit. I do not know how many pounds of rocket fuel are required to launch a satellite into orbit around the earth. Spiritually, you have to confront life-defying situations every day of your lives to reach orbit. If you do not do it now, you may never do it. Each year that passes, an exponentially greater effort will be required to reach orbit. Once you reach orbit, everything becomes so easy. Now things come to Father automatically.

It requires intense suffering, prayer, fasting, fundraising, and witnessing to separate ourselves from our fallen nature. Imagine yourselves as total manifestations of true love, automatically being able to practice true love under persecution. Let’s reach that level.

As an older brother, the most important advice I can give you is to challenge yourselves more and more. When you face personal difficulties, think of True Parents’ suffering. Before you think about your miserable circumstances, think about the people around you.

Starting with your friends, build lasting relationships. How precious such camaraderie is! People say that blood is thicker than water. True love is thicker than blood. That is how salvation is possible. That is how we can be part of True Family.

Claim what is yours

The whole world is waiting for you. If you do not shape up and accomplish Father’s expectations, Christians will surpass you! They are trained thieves, asking Cod to keep giving them things, no matter what! When things tum around, they will go after you. Keep your position. Claim what is yours. My physical father died for it. Let’s go for it.

The whole world is our stage. Let’s compete to see who can come up with the most challenging programs. Do you accept this heavenly competition? What do the Asian Christians have? Nothing. At least the communists had a worldwide concept, while these Christians just say, “Jesus, save me.”

Such people will wither away. The Russian students will come to America and take away your blessings. Let’s have a heavenly competition between the Russian and the American members and see who comes out on top. All of you are special.

At Moscow State University, I did many days of fasting, I was so afraid of facing the Russian students. Their life experiences are like those of Koreans during the 1940s and 1950s. Living through poverty and hopelessness, they were fed lies and propaganda. They challenge True Children and True Family, wanting to see what we are made of so they can surpass us. Father will welcome anyone who can be better than True Children.

To go to Africa with the Peace Corps and build nice houses for people is a piece of cake compared to the challenges you face. To restore a person’s heart and attitude is tough, tough, tough. I cannot do it for myself. You cannot do it for yourselves.

How can you do it for others? Try. It does not hurt to try. We are all trying. We are trying for something good, noble and God-centered. If you want to return to school or go back to your country, go back and be more comfortable. It will not be easy from now on. Should you be content with bringing a few thousand guests? The moment you are satisfied with yourselves, you die spiritually.

We have an open-door policy, whether you come in or go out is up to you. We do not hold onto you. Yon have to be willing to go through a difficult course. This is not a lovey-dovey place. ln the early days in Korea, people were sent out pioneering with a one-way train ticket, after attending only a one-month workshop.

Team leaders should take care of the members, nurture them, and make sure they understand everything. Remember the television ads for Eveready batteries that never stop running. Crazy Unificationists are still running around after twenty years. Ask your team leaders about their experiences on MFT, for example. Professors who hated CARP are testifying: “You guys are doing something that no one else is doing. Maybe I need to re-evaluate you. Where are the radicals? Yon are the only survivors. I praise you. Keep going.’’ Thieves are entering and taking away the foundation Father built for you in the second generation. Go out and claim everything as representatives of God and True Parents. insist that people come and Listen to you because you have the answers. You do have the answers, right?

Do you think it is easy for Father, being the Messiah? Many times I hide from him. I do not want to go near him, because if you go near him you have to sympathize with his difficulties. I try to hide any chance I get. It is tough! He is like the eye of the hurricane. All of God’s providence is turning around True Parents. When you are in the eye of the hurricane, if you make one mistake. pouf!

Father has so much optimism that he seems to be getting younger and younger! He wants to claim sixty years of work for Heavenly Father. Can you inherit Father’s foundation? You have to be absolute minuses to True Parents. Father could easily lay claim to everything he gained, but he offers it all to Heavenly Father. As the second generation, we need to offer everything we can accomplish to True Parents.

When you make presentations on campus and accomplish various things, always ask yourselves for what purpose you are doing this. You have to know the Principle. Do many things to reach out to people and help them understand True Parents.

How many of you signed up for the lecture contest? Many times Father emphasizes to Tn.ie Children: “If you want to truly represent Parents and Heavenly Father, you have to be well versed and articulate in presenting Principle ideals.’’ The Principle itself is the skeleton upon which Father has built. The 200 plus volumes of his sermons are testimonies of how he has lived the Principle. If you have just a vague understanding of the Principle, you will not find the dear path. Many of the leaders in our church have read the Principle at least 100 times. The more you read it, the deeper your insight. Pray about it. Understand it Every day Father wakes up at 4:00 and listens to his own speeches. He listens to past speeches for one hour or two hours.

Sometimes he himself is amazed: “Did I say that? Amazing!” The predictions he has made are amazing. The core has not changed. His speeches are the testimony about how he practiced the Principle throughout his life.

If the environment on campuses is boring, we will make ourselves miserable and create our own Hungnam prison. Be exciting, charismatic figures who can inspire and transform people. Can you do that?
