Sun Myung Moon Speaks to Unification Theological Seminary Students - 1975

FA’l’rlER SPEAKS ·ro NEW SEMINA RIANS AT BARRY’rOWN, 197.5, Sept.15.

(Translated by David S.C.Kim)

Fa~her picked you all himself through your photographs. So, to see if he did a good j?b or not, Father is looking at you. Actually he should have picked you all when he saw you - in other words, through physical selection,not photo selection. F•ather originally thought about what a seminarian should be like a firm and strong willed. semi.na~~l If some are physically weak they should exercise regularly to get a strong bodyt $ome- times through football and horse-riding and other types df ath~letics. If your physical body is strong, then you’ll have a good spiritual body too. The main category of selection is first of all, intellectual, ., good brain. Though two years of graduate work are required, ~ Father believes - becaus~ of your intelligence - you don• t need to take that long!. Those who have fundraising experience in our church, raise your hands. Everybody. Also, those who have witnessing exper- ience ••• raise your hand. Father likes that kind of person ••• who has had experience in both areas. It is a dreadful, awful, wonderful thing for you to come here as a seminarian, while your brothers and sisters are raising funds for you at the moment - since you are representatiYe of them. Father believes that because of your brightness and smartness - as Unification elite - you will finish your course even before the summer vacation(. So, Father wants you to utilize your time during vacation for another things in order to get practical exper- ience and on-the-job-training during vacations, Father wants you to be responsible for one state of the United States. If you owe something to somebody, it’s a shameful thing - you’ve got to return something,·isn•t that so? So, even as you study, as a good seminarian, you hav~ to be .::.:ic.. ~·pe::.::a,.:;. To be independant you need to return something owed to your bro~hers and sisters in the Unification Church, So you must be broadminded enough to earn the money youraelf, since Father is feeding you and educating you and training you. You should earn that money during vacations and return it to the Seminary for expenses. This will be the new tradition • .As senior seminarians, the first ones - if you do this as· the first seminarians of Unification Theological Seminary, then our comprehensive University will follow th’I! same t r ·adi- tion you set up. You are fort unate to be enrolled at this time. Father plans to expand this program to bring our intelligent brothers and sisters of Unification Church from all over the world. If

we have 10,000 or 20,000 regular students in our Sun Myung Moon University - which will be realized very soon - it means that in every term we should have 2,000 enrollees and this will affect universities and colleges throughout the world , ‘rhey will want to get in here, SMM University! So we may launch the project through which we can earn money for a scholarship fund throughout the world. Your earned money will make this possible, For instance, in a few years, grad- uates from our University will go - maybe to India, one nation. Then these people - our fifty graduates - may infl- uence the Indian government or the Indian social circle. Later, this kind of fundraising will be competetive and will bring better results on the world-wide level. This way a connection will be made. Not just with one nation, but all nations will be helped, and the economic systems will be influenced by our endeavor. This will be our University League, Some kind of federation of the University can be established on the world-wide level, Who will be the leaders of this world university federation? Father feels you are the ones! You are the first seminarians, scholars, you’ll automatically go there - you’ll be the leaders. This is the tradition. We need the tradition. I want you to be the practical leader, practfcal scholar, · A long time ago, Father said Christianity would fall away because of the lack of a financial foundation. Father knew that the present-day Christians cannot last at their qwn jobs unless their financial situation was guaranteed. Father is the first one - as a religious p~rson - concerned about money, about economics. To build that kind of a Kingdom, body and mind should be gotten together, if one conflicts with ihe other then you are in trouble. Spirit and finance - material - must come together, then we can have a complete o~e. The leader in question should have both sides. If onebr the . other is lacking you are not perfect, you are not a totaI leader, So you’ll gain much knowledge, and you should know how to ’ apply it in a practical setting. You should learn how to live~ based on your economic foundation - independantly. Also, a religious person should be responsible to lead the nation’s government and officials and the politicians too. So, as a good leader, you should know what’s going on in the world and have a proper observation of worl.d affairs, so as to be able to give valuable comment and direction. If you plunge into the financial area (in a practical setting), you can gain this knowledge, and you don’t necessarily have to be a high ranking economist or financial expert,

l1ot only in the economic area,,,you must know so~ething of politics too, So you must lead, guide senators and conl ress- rnen - in this country and throughout the world. Mith this in mind, contemplating the kind of people needed, he chose you. Father’s plan is to find good, capable, and qualified state representatives and state leaders. So you will be participating in that program, to stimulate that program. And if you are able - when sent there (even if only temporarily, to gain working experience) - as a religious leader, knowing how to make money, knowing politics, you automatically become the spiritual governor right then and theret As a young leader, you should be able to influence not only the state but the world as well on all levels, intellectually, academically, politically, economically, and so on. So when you get there, or, if someone settles down in a particular state, we have a world-wide system and can participate with regard to inform- ation, international affairs, etc. There . are a variety of purposes - you being here. We need to influence this nation of America first. You have to study hard, academically. But don’t forget the practicality of your learning - what you should learn •••• For two years you must qualify yourself. We will irain you to be a qualified state level leader capable of influencing governors, senators, congressmen, and scholars in that state. You know that Father established, a long time ago, Public Relations teams in Capitol Hill and the United Nations ••• these teams are working very hard. Why did he do this? In the future, your work will be connected to the practical field. This is why Father is prepar- lng now. fhe time will come when we will be united toward one goal. So Father will build a strong foundation out of you and the other teams, on the national-as well as on the international levels. If,ordinarily, you aspire to become senatorial or congressional candidates, you may spend twenty years getting hO a)O’place. When you come with Father, it takes only a short period. If Father sends five Unification Church elite members and hard workers, and five hundred others go there, Father ~an pick one guy and one girl - to be elected - right there! ~y that time he will be more than a multimillionaire. Don’t worry about the money ••• the problem is whether you are qualified ur not. You don’t know this, but Father is already preparing - in fact almost begun - the international bank. Isn’t that wonderful? It isn’t announced yet, but it’s on the way: If we have our vwn bank, we buy the Empire State Building! Some rumors have ~pread that in the future the Unification Church will have the l2Jrd floor of the Empire State Building. It isn’t a rumor any- ~ore - it’s coming into realization now! So, Father feels that .this. bank will . have fif~y s.tate br~qh banks , In every s.tat.e we have our own bank, Extending into the international levei, lt would be very easy then - at one word from Father - to have “4fl international network (through interconnection) of various

pro grams 1nd pr o je c t s. Keepin g all this in mind , y our t houghts should be clear. Ke ep in th e f aith, t he Unif ication Faith, During the two ye ars Fathe r feels y ou shou ld have a variety of programs, b esides y our s t udies. Father may give you training on ships or i n boa t ing or on the ocean , You may be called in for this sometim e, He is going to buy a boat in every state, Of course, if ther e i s no ocean or rive r there, we cannot do that, So your v a c ation s wi ll be utilized f or the total purpose with regard to wh a t Fathe r is setting up right now •. Do you understand clearly? He wants you t o be a leader of versatilityi talent in many areas . Whe n you study , don ‘t think about yourself, Don’t stress what “I am , Become Unificat ion man. If you are just “I 11 11 ,

u111 , I then yo u cannot learn. If you are small minded, narrow 11 11

minded, then you should chang e and think like Father Moon - then you can learn many thi ng s. No narrow mindedness. Fathe r trained himself even i n the lowest echelons of the laboring class . When he went into the rural area, he was able to survive ther e as well , Even when he participates in atheletics, the top atheletes cannot compete with him, Why? Because he speaks the language of th e p eople at their level, Father has a higher , diplomatic level of interaction and he fulfills all of his purpose there . If he sets up the purpose, he will do it! Without first influencing th e state level leaders how can you hope to influence leaders on the world-wide level? Father has met all these distinguished congressmen and senators already, two year s ago, When he met them, he evaluated them, as to how long they could continue . When a national crisis comes, will they run away? Ar e they qualified? Even if a world-wide crisis comes and affects the pe ople, Fatner felt there was no qual- ification in th e American nation to meet that and do something about it. Fa~her felt non e of them is really ready, This is why Father called you - for this heavenly mission. So, you should be the leaders who can influence American high level politics. Those of the overseas fami ly, European and Japanese brothers and sisters, other than Americans, raise your hands. How many? 10 Japanese brothers. Fath er plans to send those of the overseas families abroad - thes e s eminarians will be assigned in the future to thei r own countries, as well as in the . capacity of world-wide itinerary workers. All of them will work now for the American fami l y doing American work, after which they will return to other countries , and once there, will make an inter- national connection with your work in America. All American seminarians should be resp onsible for one overseas family,

for th eir education. You must make t he mo n ey and provi de support in the form of scholar sh ip. Why sh ould American family, as members, do this? Thi s i s to make a good s piri- tual and physi cal connection between America and the part- icular country they are from . Th en th ose who gradua t e fr om the seminary and the university wi ll owe soraething to you r nation when they go back to th eir own countries. Thus th ey will be able to work for your na t ion too. This is why th e American family should adopt thi s system. This means that later, even though we do n ot have enough money to run the big universit y, our alumni will go all over the world and the money will come to s upport the mother-univer- sity they attended, through alumni associations. This wi ll set up a very good spiritual fo undation for America. Four years of support in this manne r for an overseases family - to come here and go back with an education - would be a good example and tradition .. for Ameri cans to se~• to bring the whole world into one. When you devel op this met h od, you can expand the scholarships into greater and greater numbees, and draw more and more people . This woul d include even outsjide members and they too can come to this nation. Then all the brightest people, select geniuses, all wil l come to our University. Upon their return, they’ll automatic ally bec ome the leaders through- out the world. After four years of hard work i n th i s country, Father feels that only Americans are abl e to fulfill this kind of thi ng - no other country is ready . So Father has already set the goal, one member to earn ~1 2,000 a month ! This is revolution- ary, financially and economi cally, right? Revolutionary! This is not just talking , i t’s being realized r ight no w. One person made ~10,000! You have to make a s~rong condition - you are representatives, a rep resenta t ive of 200 million Americans. Also, another thing, you have to have ·a good influence on ~he trainees - the 100-day trainees and the 40 -day trainaes who are adjacent to you. Sometime s when you have a c hance to, be a good older brother or sist er to them. You must be a good model. Why? There are 450 pe ople. Out of the 450, you are the only ones in the seminary and as such, to have a special privilege. You are not paying anything, so don’t discourage your 100-day trainee brothers and sisters - they might misun- derstand. You are taking my po sition. You must be very humb l e and nice, a good big brother an d sister.

FSAB 75/9/15 Page 6

Also, you will find five - one of them , Dr. Kim, is of our family, so four - new professors . Yo u will meet them. Father picked these people . Why did Father pu t them here? You ha ve to learn something from them , th e kn ow ledge they have acquired over twenty and thirty years t hr ough research and scientific method •• ,,that ’ s why I brought t he m f o r you, Because t hey have an influence on many areas, including the Council of Ch urches and other established churches . I n Ca t holicism and ot her reli- gions, they are very high ran.ki ng prof essors. Soon 24, 120 prof- essors will be corning - we are a l re a dy screening them for this, David Kim is screening now 1 als o our Dean, okay? Chief adminis- trator too1 we are all screening n ow. We are not staying with just four professors . If they com e out with a conn ection with our Unification movement and Rev, Moon then they will say some- thing to the world , Then late r, all t he big and well-know prof- essors, bright people , men and women throughout the United States and the world, will come to the prof e ssors and say, “We want to get in, we want to get in!” Yo u are all l ucky people. Maybe even our professors will be left behi nd through competetion. They know we are recruiting more professors. Renowned scholars, great theologians, Bible scholars . al l wi ll desire to be enrolled, to be hired. Father will giv e a littl e more money all the time they stay here. The International One World Cru sade will take them all over the world so that they may have ac ademic research symp·o- siums and seminars for all kind s of knowledge-hungry people, and in this way they may like to distinguish themselves. It seems as if this seminary is a small in stitution, but when you look at it this way, from the viewp oi nt of Father’s plan, there is an international forum right here,,.we are creating internat ional relationships - this is the battlefield right here! Also, Nobel Prize winners will be associated with our hearts, with Father, We’ll invite all t hese professors, maybe there . will be trouble in the neighbo rhood with hotels, etc. Then Father might give them boats, or enc ourage them to go fishing or some- thing like that, you know; in that case you’ll be assigned as assistants, helpers, young men and women, and they’ll be deligh- ted to have this. All the No bel Prize winners will come! Most of them are close to the end of their lives, they’re getting old,and looking at you they may think, “Yes, that’s wonderful, maybe this person would make a good son-in-law, or daughter-in- law, •• something like that. So the c h ances are good, who knows.,,? 11

World renowned Nobel laureate s from all over will come to Barrytown1 and when I look at you people Father selected very nice, very clear but very handsome, beauti f ul faces. You two stand up, both of you, in f ront. You take better care of your health and eat more, mor e mea~; and good exercise, okay? What’s the problem? Stomach problem or what? Kidney problem? Too much hard work fundraising? Tel l h im ••• ! Why are you so

skinny? Father can’t understana, you can see why, right? Japanese sister is originally oorn small, so that’s why they are pretty healthy that way. I’ve learned from ~V that taller persons are better than shorter ..• okay? Father wants you to be a little taller. So you have to develop your physical fittness. So Karate - we’ve got to have a dean to develop extra-curricul- ar activities. So practise Karate, Chungo-sol or Right Way martial arts, invented by our group. Father has already suppor- ted this way - we have a school Ln Japan - so this kind of thing will be taught. This way you’ll have a strong body, good strength! Then when Father looks at it, he’s a strong Father too! He wants you to be a strong man and woman, physically. To be a pioneer, you have to have both, okay? Sometimes you wll push yourself. In this case you need to maintain your physical body well. He wants you to build your body. The problem is how well are you -50 seminarians, Unification seminarians - going to set up the traditional honor. We’d like to have a football team so that sometimes we can compete with any surrounding college or university in this area. Though at first you may be out- numbered or beaten, we’ve got to be strong. So please start with great hope, will you? Instead of nice dreams, be broadminded, and with a new start right here in this school, start with this concept from the beginning! This is the first endeavor in Father’s life to set up an educ- ational institution, the first p~oject. To have selected you from the field for the seminary, at a time like this, is really \ damaging our work in the United States, sort of blood-shedding, so, instead of gaining, this is a consuming battle. Father has dared to begin this - eventually it had to come - so even under the circumstances, he has selected you to begin. Many critics may question this decision, as to why Father picked out in this crucial time of the Unification movement in America. Why do it? You owe so much to our movement in America! Keeping this in mind, alon 6 with your mission and future direction, you have to stick to it, you have to fulfill it! This is Father’s desire for you, to direct yourself in this way and set up the Heavenly Tradition in the Seminary. That’s why he wants to tell you this.

From this school life you should build all things in a Heavenly way. It may cause some problems whan you raise some deep question and your professors may not answdr it - that’s a factor you must keep in mind. So you must respect them highly, but offer them the chance to come to you to learn from the movement. Very soon you and your professors will bc~ome good friends. They are not our members, keep that in mind! ~hey’re not our members yet - maybe half-half! So be careful. ~ou should treat them as yaur teachers. In the Oriental way, tdachers are like half-parents,

75/9/15 Page 8

so you must respect them thou 6 h you may have arguments. In American schools you are very uncourteous and in some schools, very, very rude to the teachers .•• we’re not going to do this. Respect your teacher. Now, the Council ofChurches, including many established churches of Christianity are looking - what in the world is going on, what kind of relationship exists between the Unification seminarians and the professors1 they are all watching, waiting to see what kind of results come from this! You’ve got to have a good relationship. Raise them, respect them, even if they do not become our members. David Kim personally is not going to convert them, no! Even though they are here, it’s enough for now that you go out and talk about Rev. Moon1 so don’t try to convert them. In this way, not only 10, or 15, but hundreds of scholars, theologians, and established churches will be influenced by your professors’ one statement, one remark. That’s what we’re looking for, do you understand? Similarly, if there is some kind of unseen barrier between us and the established churches, and somehow this barrier collapses, then all the young people from these churches will come, your brothers and sisters right there! Then there will be no problem with Communism, and it won’t be difficult to influence the entire world. The Kingdom of God on earth will begin right there •• You will be on· the outside - exterior . - and you can encourage them and influence them too. So do not attack them in a rude way. Respect them very deeply, let them fall in love with you! This is my word. You have to realize that the professors are not widely known, excepting perhaps in their own fields - so they all have their own special areas, okay. They put it together and we can have an international symposium! A Christian Revival meeting - maybe David Kim will go there too, along-with you. Father is looking lo at cltat, that kind of future. Look for what happens, right here~ Keep in mind all these things. Be nice to your professors - I already instructed Therese to have our tradition. Just as you respect our elders, you must be nice to our professors. Let the~ know you are a different breed of people, Rev. Moon’s child~en are different. Let them say this. You have to show them. Then they will evaluate, and even 10 or 15 people by comparison (from their own church) would not be able to compete with one of the 1,100n’ s children. Let them talk about that. We won• t say anything - let them make the propaganda! If the profeseors are wonderful persons centering on God’s will, it’s a wonderful and best edu- cation by any standards in the world, though they (professors) are different from our wonderful seminarians. So let us build this Unification Theological Seminary into the best and most powerful institution in the world!

FSAB 75/9/15 Page 9

If things are going well according to our schedule, suddenly, the State University might be influenced by us. Very easily then we can move you, and our young people can influence the State government right there! The state has evaluated all the information we have offered and has found nothing wrong. Only this slander from the devil - time will solve that problem . The State feels Rev. Moon’s institution is more than the best, there’s absolutely nothing wrong. They are amazed how such a miraculous thing could be done in such a short period of time! So you will be -temporarily- representatives to the fifty states, going there to install some kind of monument, repre- senting the State. Beautiful seminarians, men and women - he wants you to be that. Will you do that?
