Sun Myung Moon Speaks to Unification Theological Seminary Students - 1980
~fXt:_C~ a.~t <.bvp-J, ·~h._ ~’j · FATHER SPEAKS - BARRYT™N SEMINARY
(Col. Han - Interpreter) Hay 23, 1980
Why are Oriental people different than Western people? Do you think that American or Western people will ever accept and understand Father? In the Orient, for instance, if a man tells three jokes in one day then he is considered to be mad or insane. (laughter). But here you are considered very popular and normal if you tell jokes. In the Orient also it is extremely dishonorable to eat while you are walking - not even a beggar would do that; here it is quite counnon. In the Orient love is rarely expressed in public. But in America you see in public people holding hands and kissing (smack, smack) and hugging (even if they don’t like each other!). And in the Orient people sleep on their backs and only the animals sleep on their stomachs · (or curled up) like Americans do.
Father has just named a few examples to show you the difference between the East and the West, So can these two be brought together? Look at Unification Church members, there you can find much love and respect for Father. But your own physical parents are hiring deprogrammers to try to take you back, and all kinds of things like this are taking place. You must have relatives, friends and teachers in your life that you have loved very much, yet you deny all of them to stay with one person (Father). And as the years go on you actually feel a deeper attachment and love; what causes this?
Well, people on the outside try to figure this out - but all the usual explanations do not fit - so they just say it must be “brainwashing.” Father knows that the American people try to understand but they just cannot. Here is an Oriental man from Korea(a nation that is often practically unkown) and so many American young, white people are coming to him(?), They say it must be hypnotism; and when they ask you if it is brainwashing, you answer, “It’s wonderful!” (laugh). Why is it that Americans when you ask them if they like something or how they are, they always say, ‘twonderful ! “? But the American people are trying to observe the Unification Church and figure out why all the young people are so attracted - you can see people vith binoculars, from cars, from planes, looking and looking; always trying to discover some “secrets” which would give them the answers.
When we say in the Unification Church the word “wonderful” we mean ideals and hope. But outside when they always say “wonderful” it is not so good - only good to the individual, selfish wonderful. So we see two different wonderfuls; which way do you think is the most liked by God? Our “wonderful” in the UC means pursuing God’s purpose in the world today and finding true love.
Do you think there is as great a difference between this world and ~he ·- spiritual world as uhere is between the East and the West? For instance, could you make friends instantly with your great, great grandfather in the spiritual world? It may at first seem impossible since he may have lived on earth many hundreds of years ago; there may be _many walls and barriersi: - but do we want that? Of course not, we would like tP live in this world and cause all the walls and barriers to tumble down - all the walls between black, white, yellow people and between all religions, etc. If they had an election in the spiritual world, if there was a man who had crossed all the barriers of race, religion, and color doff’t you tlµ.nk that everyone would vote for him? Well, here on earth we must prepare ourselves for that kind of life. We have many kinds of religions, as well as the Unification Church; do you think any religion here is like that, free of all barriers?
If we could start a UC in the spiritual world in 30 or 40 years do you think all the people in the spiritual world would want to come and live with the UC? (Yes!) Then Father would say, “Wonderful!” People in the spiritual world would say, “Wonderful!” Even God vi.11 say, “Wonderful!” Then the word would express the time you had here in this world and you will never forget that word. So tonight you can enjoy this wonderful evening and the stars and the moon (the man in the moon is my brother).
Even though people persecute us and don’t understand us, still you know you are living a wonderful way of life: When you sleep, snore, breathe, e~or even fundraiae, you do everything wonderfully. You know our UC way of love - often an engagement of 3 years - for 3 years you can’t kiss or hold hands, but isn’t that wonderful? {Yes!) When you go to the spiritual world will you be telling them you were doing what people in the outside world were doing? In the outside world they work hard but they put the money in their own pockets, but in the UC when you work hard and fundraise you give the money to God. We do all these .things so we can get a passing grade in the spiritual world. Since we are trying so hard to pass and get that qualification the world is persecuting us. It’s because we are different than them. Father has been “fighting” almost all his life; but Father has a clear conscience and he does not feel depressed. But if someone else would have received the same persecution as Father he would have been terribly de- pressed and spiritually disfigured.
Father does so many things that other people simply do not understand. Like tomorrow, we are going to go out in the Hudson River and catch hundreds of carp. So people have to criticize and say that a religious leader should not be going fishing. Most people in this country “turn their noses up” at carp - they say that it is a dirty and lowly fish. Father always tells the story of an old UC member that kept a handkerchief for 23 years - that handkerchief became old and worn, like an old rag - yet it had so much value to that member because it once belonged to Father. So if you, a special person . that is working so hard for God, eats just one carp {one fish) then wouldn’t that fish be special and wouldn’t it be glad to have been caught and eaten by you? Why do you sacrifice for God? By your sacrifice you add to God. We are always hoping we can become part of God, the “blood” of God. Then even more isn’t the carp happy to be sacrificed for you?
If people are starving to death in the country of Cambodia, for instance, and we feed the carp to them, do you think that God would complain if you and Father spends so . much time fishing? Even if we took all the carp out of the river, down to the . last one? {No!) Who started the order of nature then, the survival Qf the fittest - where the larger fish eatR the smaller fish? Do you think it was the largest, pig, bad fish that started it? No, it was God who made the laws of nature, so God must be a natural hunter. When your parents give you up - or you sacrifice yourself to the UC and Rev. Moon, then don’t you become small Rev. Moons? {laughter - Yes!) Then can’t you see when we sacrifice ourselves for others then we increase our value; the same is with the fish or the carp. i - . - What about you Seminarians· - maybe Father can call you “rascals?” . Why didn’t so many of you come down to fish when Father put out the nets? Is fi~hing beneath you - beneath your intellectual position? Didn’t you know that Jesus was a fisherman? And most of his disciples? In order to become good ministers and well-rounded leaders you need to know how to do many things. You women, for- in- stance, what kind of husbands would you like to have, only men who sit and are
intellectual? Or do you want husbands who are the kind of men that can start businesses, can fish, build boats, and do many things? (The second kind). If Father was like a Catholic priest, just saying Mass and then going home - would the UC have survived today? (No!) Because Father was willing to do everything the UC survived. If you Seminarians become the kind of minister that is just gentle and carries a Bible and lets his congregation support him with donations, then you will never build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. No - you must be “pushed” and “kicked” by Father - so I want to teach you how to fish so you can learn to feed many people
I think that the sisters are too weak and little to go fishing don’t you? I I) ( No.. t Well, o.k. then when you sisters try to catch a carp you must go into the mud and dig after it and go after it with all your might, then you scoop it up into your bosom and carry it into the sack! (laughter). It is the same as when you will be witnessing on campuses, you must meet someone and then go after them with all your heart and might - then you become a heavenly “CARP.” Jesus said that you must become “fishers of men! The practical-minded Seminarians wonder why Father doesn’t just cast out a line from a reel and pole and fly-fish and sit down on the bank for 4 or S hours? If you really want to be great· men you must put everything you have into fulfilling your goal - such a person is a great man. This is the quality of the persons that will save the world. All of you will be witness- ing; even if no one will respond, you still cannot change your goal; you must keep on witnessing until you have victory - don’t forget that.
Father is so persecuted - you too won’t be welcomed wherever you go. So you must know and understand that from now on you must not become the kind of ministers and leaders that just give sermons and live from the donations of the people -never! Someday you will have a whole congregation or your Home Church people to feed - you must know how to do everything, make nets, set them out, get in the mud, pick up the fish with your hands, and endure long hours in the sun. Never dream that other people will support you. Father has been known to buy things for some of the older blessed couples, so you might say, “Oh, Father will you also buy me a house?” No - you as Seminarians will never live off donations and support from someone else! So don’t say, ‘’We must study for exams or ~e can’t get our hands in the mud.” If you don’t learn to fish, you will starve!
Someday people from all walks of life will need Father - sometime everyone will be in the same circumstances and Father will open up a way. Most people if they see a fight on the street will walk on by, but if Father sees a big man fight- ing or persecuting a, little man, Father will interfere and fight for the small man! All of you are taking the defense art.or Karate (Won Wha Do) aren’t you? If any of you are ignoring taking the classes in Won Wha Do then I give authority to the ones that are to strike that one in the back. Why is it necessary to take the defense art? --If you are out on campus or up against violence in your church are you just going to pray to God? If your people can say, “Our minister will save our lives!” ·well, that’s good. Shouldn’t ministers master the de _fense arts? _What if a cow, or a lion, or a bear should attack you? Can you just stand there an~ pray? No - you shouldoe able to defend yourself - God is concerned about you but He would want you to use your own muscles.
If the Communists attack you what will you do? So is it good or bad to be the kir{d of person that can catch carp? (good!) Then learn to do it with all your strength and all your might! Did you know that the carp really taste good if
people are willing to try them and they are cooked right? Sometime you may have someone who will want to join the Church only to eat carp! So Father has started a fishing industry. is that good or bad? (Good!) If there is anyone in this country or t~is Church that has ever known real starvation then they would say that is good, You hear of people starving all over the world. even in Africa or India, But did you know that fish and animals are always available - even snakes are good to catch and eat! So people need to be educated about how to catch and find the abundance of nature. Father is so anxious to make the kind of people out of you that would never starve and could teach others the same! Even it’s good to know the kind of mushrooms and certain plants that are fit to eat. There is no guarantee that you will never get into the kind of situation where you will need to know how to get food for people and yourself. If you go to Africa there are always big hippos and alligators; you must figure out how to catch almost anything - it’s better than starving.
The point is that you just don’t know these things without training. So you need a leader to teach you. So who among you Seminarians is now ready to repent? Who of you might have thought before that carp are no good? If a guest should come along and you catch a carp and you barbeque it for him over a fire, right on the spot. he will really be impressed! If you asked a carp where he would rather be, in the Hudson River or in the UTS pond, what would he reply? (Here!) When the carp jump they make the pond very beautiful, is that bad? Also a carp will live a very long time - if someone comes here 10 years from now he may catch the very carp that you put in the pond - isn’t that of value?
;----._ There will come a time in the future that people will be living near the seashore more than ever and they will prize fish (protein) more than anything. So think how much we will benefit the world by making the fishing industry sucessful! Maybe someday all ministers will be having fishing expeditions. Maybe Father will have all Seminarians go out on Tuna Boats for one year - would you like that? We might even get aircraft carriers out of the auctions and use them for starting a whole fishing industry right on a boat~ you could catch and process the fish right on the spot - that would be a way to feed the whole world! Father might send out all Seminarians to fish for 5 years in the oceans; you might love it and you wouldn’t want to come home! We could have a “Seminary Underwater Fishing Division”! Is that a good idea? (Yes!) We need to find ways to start a practical religion on the earth - that is the way to really bring people to Cod - not just praying and read- ing a Bible. The people of the world and you must understand one important thing: the way we will do things will be so we can survive and prosper! Are people just born to be able to do these things? No - you have to really try to completely dedicate yourself ta accomplishing those kinds of things. Wherever Father goes don’t you think he will be able to bring many people and much prosperity? (the word money - mani - ~n Korean means much). How about you? Whether Father is in a labor camp or in a singing group he can make friends almost instantly; how is it humanly possible for one man from Korea to win over so many people all alone? In order for you to take care of your many members someday you have to be able to know about and experience ~any things; and Father will chase you out to leArn many things.
You expect Father to know and do many things, don’t you? Then you must not be “dignified ministers” but you must be like Father and know and do many things~ You have to be a whole lot different than just “conventional ministers”; you must take interest in everything that Father does, mend. make nets and catch ~ny . fish. Most -women would never think of going out in a river, in the mud. and
and catching carp with their bare hands, but you sisters respect and love Father so I know that you “’111 go straight into that water and mud and catch those fish! You need to know all these things so that you can teach your ovn members. Soon Father will assign 10 boats here so you must learn how to steer, set up nets, be able to run everything. When you have your mm Centers sometime then you must buy your ovn fishing boat. All this that I am saying is not a dream; we will be doing all these things in just a couple of years. Our purpose is to participate in as many activities as possible so you can be helpful to the people of the world. This is the way we will be able to go to the “ideal” spiritual world.
If everyone is studying Rev. Moon, then after he is gone to the spiritual world who will they want to study next? You! So tonight that Father is here under this tree speaking to you, this will be a memorable time that you will remember for many years to come. All of you are the witness of what is being said and what will take place tomorrow. So when later all the scholars and writers will want to find out about Rev. Moon then you must help them. You must not only remember all about what Father has told you but you must do it and practice it! You can not only tell the scholars about your personal experiences and relate what Father is saying, but you can show them how you nave brought victory with these things also. You would feel terrible if you didn’t pay much attention here tonight and then after Father is in the spiritual world someone asks you to share what you heard and did here. You must be the ones to be inspirational to everyone about what Father is saying here tonight! All of you Seminarians will have 2 years experience at the UTS and tomorrow’s historical fishing expedition to share with people - you will be ashamed if you have not participated or paid much attention to Father tonight. You have the burden of history right on your very shoulders. Things like Father’s walking cane and fishing sneakers will be valuable in museums some day. It’s true what I am saying - all scholars and historians will later come to you to learn all about Father.
For instance, if you have a fishing pole that you have used to go fishing with Father, you can preserve it in varnish or lacquer and then someday you could take it with you fundraising and tell people all about the history of that fishing rod; even the pants or shoes that you wore when you went fishing with Father will someday be precious. Then to your posterity you could tell many interesting stories, you will have many, many memories that will be personal museums of your life. You have to have some “material” that you can use to remember UTS later; do you all understand? (Yes).
Let’s compare· this situation with that of Jesus 2000 years ago. Jesus spent only 3 years on the earth in his ministry. With Father it has already been much more, and which is more powerful the Bible or the Divine Principle? In the future even Kings will want to visit BarrytQ~ - really, it will be that famous! So now how do you feelr Do you want to get in the mud and catch carp now? (Yes!)
Carp are very s;art fish~ if there is one hole that they can get through, then almost all of them -will get away: Now wo have 7000 feet of net, but a carp can swim against a waterfall; they are also very fast. They are not liked nor respected here in this country, but in the Orient, they are considered a spiritual -fi&h and a delicacy. •They come in and go out with the tide; they won’t come into the sha,llow water. So we all have to work together; picking up a carp is easy, it’s laying and settine up the nets that is hard. You have to swim with long nets on your shoulcfers. When the tide goes out if you run then you won’t sink in the mud so easy. So we have to unite and organize into teams; we give each ot~er signals; we don’t want any hccidents ·so we have to do everything well. Before the tide ·comes in you drop and set the nets - then when the water goes out you have to catch the
fish within the nets. So we have to work hard - there are 3 bridges in the, river where we will be fishing. All the stakes need to be put in to set the nets. We use communication to work - we use walkie-talkies; After the water recedes from the nets. then we take them off the stakes and put’them in a deeper place. After the fish are in the nets then we don’t have much t1me so we have to respond quickly to the instructions.
Within one hour after the tide goes out w~ have to catch all the fish. The psychology of most people is that they always want to catch the biggest ones. but all the carp will grow in the pond. Even if you yourse.lf don’t catch a carp• ask to carry someone else’s back to the pond. But remember to treat them gently - if their scales come off they will die. If you put your finger in the mouth of a “”1.ggling carp it will become like a baby. Don’t worry they will live an hour after they have left the water. They like to hide in the mud. so to catch them you have to rake the mud with your hands and feet and dig them out.
So now. do you have a pretty good idea of how you can catch some carp tomorrow? (Yes!) O.K. you have to treat those precious carp good, treat them just as well as you would your own fiancee! (laughter). See you in the morning, good night.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon
Speech to UTS Graduates
Gloucester, Mass. October 1, 1980
Reported by Dr. Seuk Unofficial Notes Edited by Jim Fleming For Seminary Use Only
Father mentioned his seriousness in establishing the Seminary. Before deciding to establish the Seminary, he visited Barrytown 17 times. Before the rallies at Yankee Stadium and Washington Monu- ment there had been very serious persecution by the government, the Congress, the FBI, CIA and IRS. All of the mass media and the whole nation was really trying to destroy our movement. Father was serious but had only a handful of core members. Then, on May 1, 1975, Father sent 120. core members to foreign missions and selected 58 students to go to UTS just before the Yankee Stadium rally. This was like chopping the neck, face and arms of our 111ovement. In 1976 Father selected 60 more people for the Seminary right before the Washington Monument rally. Our -movement was a bleeding sacrifice. This was like chopping the trunk off of the body. Father was very serious.
·i-\ E_ake ( father has very great expectations for UTS. each student of UTS a person like me.” He said, “I wi0 Each student will be responsible for the nation and world — even if I lose in this country. This is Father’s determination. Father said there is no tradition in this country. The tradition is yet to be established.
(1} Tradition (2} Education (3} Accomplishment
In the American movement, there is no tradition. Do you have the same conviction and determination as Father? Do you know Father? Do you know what Father will do in the future? If you cannot s a y ~ ’ then we have no tradition.
What is our goal? Is it to build churches in New York or in Washington, D.C.? NO. Our purpose is to build the Kingdom of Heaven. Is this easy or difficult? How difficult? Extremely. It is the most difficult task. We should receive the most difficult education and training as champions for God.
What is Father’s standard for us? Not the Individual, Family, Society, Nation or World level standard, but the Universal level. Father wants to train us not to violate the universal ind-emnity condition. What i •s· the unive·r sai. indemn·ity condition? It is to liberate God. Only after liberating God will Satan be placed under restraint. We should overcome all
of Satan’s trials and tempt~tions until we li.ber~te God. We should never violate heavenly law, As Jesus said: . If you are willing to die you will live. If you want to live you will die. Be determined to give all for the sake of God and the world. Be determined to die but be alive. This is Father’s detennination.
How different Father’s thinking about God’s Will is from our own thinking! White persons should go to a black country to build the Kingdom of Heaven. Yellow people should go to a hostile country to work. Father will send seminarians to a hostile country like Africa or the USSR to build the Kingdom of Heaven. _ Father himself came and faced the hostility of America to build the Kingdom of Heaven. This is Father’s determination.
How many UTS graduates have that determination? There is one simple criteria to see if we are flunking or not. This is God’s criteria: If you are given some task to accomplish in this nation of America and you feel that the task is difficult, you flunk! In Third World nations there is no food. They don’t plan to fast, there is simply no food! There is also political oppression in other countries. Members work in CommW1ist countries at the risk of their lives. Even when crossing the border they think, “Father, goodbye, I may see you in the spirit world.”
Father never felt that his mission in Korea or America was difficult. If you feel this way, then you flunk! Father wants you to go to your mission, survive and then come back. Don’t be Satan’s victim. Father will welcome you back, heal your wounds and dress you in the finest silk. Heavenly Father will give you abundant blessings. Even though Heavenly Father pushes him mercilessly to suffer, Father is always full of energy and enthusiasm. Heavenly Father will pour oil on his wounds and dress him wit:,h silk clothing.
Suffering means God wants to give us the blessing. Father wants t _o make us happy, not miserable. With no accomplishments in this world, we will be very miserable in the spirit world. Father drives us to give us abundant blessing. We -must go forward without complaints or criticisms.
There are many signs of Heavenly Father’s love for Rev. Moon. In Africa, one spiritual leader has 10,000 members. He prayed to God _to give him a name. God said, “Sun MyW1g Moon seems to be a good name.” He asked what would be a good name for the organization? God replied, “Unification Church would be good.” Then he met Lady Dr. Kim! Then they found out the truth and they laughed and cried and studied the Divine Principle together. This all occurred in ZAIRE. Many non-members who are spiritually open pray for Father: Buddhist monks and spiritual doctors. or-- ·· Father is concerned about American· members.· · Japanese. Korean people accept Father’s commandment 100%. Many wonderful spiritual phenomena are occurring in Japan (eg. the high price
of marble vases). Regretfully, Father can never give direction to the American movement without receiving criticism and analysis, Those who study are especially critical of Futher’s direction. · They try to compare Father to other great scholars. Father wishes he could give commands to UTS graduates without any heavy feeling or problems of criticism. How can we criticize him when we don’t know what he will do in the future? -God has given his champions incredible tests of faith throughout history (eg. Noah’s Ark or Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac}.
If we become absolutely one with Father, we can accomplish great results. UTS graduates should be ready to receive any commandment from Father. Be ready even to go to the place of death. Win the victory over Satan and come back for blessing. Father will dress our wounds and dress us in fine silk clothes. Father is serious about UTS students: “I will make persons like Rev. Moon who are responsible for the nation and for God.” Father sacrificed -members through fundraising for the sake of the Seminary. Be strong champions for God and True Parents th.rough the most difficult training.
FATHER VISITS UNITICATION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, Barryto-,m, New York October 10, 1980
- How do you like school? Is it easy or bard? (Challenging). You a.re the !1.rst that Father is sending to complete education.
Everyone before you in the U.S., Korea and Japan had to build the church.
Why is Father sending you to school? Is it just a whim? You must know
Before there was so much disappointment and despair — everything
is settled down -now, as compared to before. But instead of saying,
“Thank you — you are saying ‘\lhy am I here~- you remember those old days when you were dating”.
So Father knows everything — what it is like to be in school.
Father tells David Kim not to let you sleep,to be very strict on you.
Do you think Grandpa Kim is too old? (No: — you should see him play tennis:) Is he too strict on you? (No!) Well, he says you say he’s
too strict — shall I tell him to be more strict? “ Ik> you think God is easy going and loving or ts he str’ict? (Strict.) A teacher who is liked all the time is not a good teacher. U be is
11lted, yet he is strict - he is a good teacher. If a teacher only gives all good marks and no homework — is he a good teacher? But it be is . strict . and still talks after the bell rings and gives you much home-
work? , But (No!) - I have learned the oppo_site from you. Ib you want me
to be like that teacher? You say you like :Father, but do yOJ. r~ally like Ft:l ther’l (:__Yes!) · But 1.f you real.ly find out what kind of person Father · really 1s, will you still ,
11.ke Father (Yes!)
Acro’Ss the river 1n Kingston they are say1fl8 UTS is a tearful
school and there 1a brain\18.sbing going on. (laughter). ~
Why did Father really bring you here to this Seminary? (To study). ’ You have been waiting to see Father, but Father likes that kind of student that is so busy thl\t he bas no time to see Father.
I! there are some academic classes going on now and you have
“cut” class to come and listen to Father, then Father does not welcome that so much. (several students got up and left).
When you join the Unification Church your friends and family may or may not see a change· in you. But after you come to UTS you may like
to give commands, respected by everyone, instead of serving. If this happens in your 2 years here then Father’s expectation of YoU will very much be betrayed. But if a.f’ter you graduate, you are willing to do any hard work on command, strongly goal-orlented, tqen I -want you to be like that. You
. must realize bow much strictness you have to go through in order to be
like that. Look at Yale and Harvard, they are getting less and less
strict. When you grad~te from here then you need to lead the Harvard
and Yale students. Actual.ly those students are smarter than you (in
grades), but bow do you lead them? By getting smar~ter than them?
( No). By learning the tradition ot Father which is strictness. I - To you going without a meal once a day or week (fasting), _J;bat should be a. natural thing. If you \ilere only given .9ne mea; a. day
you should be quite prepared to a~cept that and continue working~ Our school should deserve a vacation but when the norma.l vacation ,
’ ti.me comes.you should say okay, I will go fund.raising tor the sake ot this country. Why” are you waiting tor an Oriental, Rev. Moon, who even bas
cheap clothes on? Everyone vlll say )’9u a.re doi08 the ‘Wl’Ong th~.
The trouble 1s with those people who oppose Father and Unification Church,
they a.re not thinking or the actual welfare of their own sons and
daughters, but they are only concerned about their own welfare — keep-
ing their own children around themselves.
But Father is . serving as a bridge to the new future world. King- dom of Heaven on Earth. Maybe tbl\t is why you are waiting for Father.
So you can use him tor that way or bridge to get to that new world,
But if you are only doi08 this for your own sake, you are on the
decllni08 side. But you are actually preparing yourself tor the future,
studying so you can build your future and help the world.
So you have to make sure ot the strictness all the way in paving
the path. Never, never can you emphasize too much strictness, • The higher level the world rlll be the more ‘strict it will ‘be.
Things don’t come about by accident — the person that thinks that & rose is beautif”ul. and gives out a beaut1.1’ul. scent just by accident
then that 1s the wrong vay to think. The r9se has actually passed
through a rig~d growth process !ran nature to be so beautU’ul.
The same with you. Only after you have passed through the rigid
trials and paths or .lite do you come to the -point where you can be
f’ree and easy.
What about the student who not only goes the strict and rigid way
him.sell, but g_ives outslde himsel.t to help others go that way — that ,
.. student is doing right, isln•t he? ’ In missing morning service, tor instance, 1.f both students are
present loo:,L — bow can you compare the two? I t one student misses
only once or from class goes to the bathroom just once, that one
bas to take second place to the one who is 1~.
Even 1.f President 1C1..m has to punch or bit a student to make him obey, and that student smiles, then there is the student that it Mr.
K 1m just looks bad at him or says a strict word then he complains. Which should you be like? (The first). If the water is so cold when you go c=arp fishing, still you
should be willing to jw:::p in. When Father stayed up all night in
the rain at trrS some students stayed up (only a few), and all the others
disappeared. Father did not know where (laughter). When Father is in the
spiritual world, those vbo stayed up all night long with Father will be the Chairman to stand up and speak about Father. What Father did,
and what were bis intentions. Those who did not stay up with Father
will compla.in”Oh Father, if y-ou had only told ~e to do that clearly
I would have obeyed!” But what they did not understand, is that Fat 11er did not say anything or tell the ones who stuck by him either, they just te1t or knew to help.
In the comp1eted world, the traces ot sanitary napkins, ot a
- woman’s menses will never be visible in restrooms. There will be so much clean1iness·and strictness. You will never see U.C. sisters - in on+Y bikinis with n.2.vels and thighs hanging_ out. That is why Father did not send sisters to the Seminary at . first. The neighbors
, -would complaiq th.at Rev. Moon is too strict, because sisters -would not be -wearing shorts and bathing suits in summer.
One brotl:rer -went into the Unisex ba.rberstiop and asked tor a
“M oonie cut”. The hair s tylls t said, “You said it, ok”. And she
gave him a. very short cut (laughter). • So you a.re getting famous,
you mu.st think about yotll” hair styles.
Someday people rlll beg and want to be married or blessed ‘’Moonie” style. There will be carriers (ships) by the oceans and airplanes celebrating the ceremony — everyone -will want to see those weddings so bad..l.y.
The future is sure to come, individual, family, country and world — so we must pay more attention to the future. It is more
important for you to becane the head of’ your family — of’ the America of’ the future, not ot today. It you visualize yoursel.t’ as future
Americf)s, then you have to go through many strict trials and tests. You see toda.y’sdisco dancing and f’ree sex — you have already passed
through that. Today’s America everybody hates, they just can’t do a.ny-
thin8 a.bout it. But it doesn’t attract us — nothing we a.re drawn to, thl.s will pass away and no trace will remain. But we will dis- cipline and prepare ourselves tor the tuture. So how nice it is to become a man of’ the future. No matter how -many persecute Rev. Moon today, they will come, change, and sac-
rifice themselves tomorrow. Father knows the people in the America. of theifuture· will definitP.ly do .that. A11 the people that oppose UC and Rev. Moon and bis thought
- v1.ll be wiped out. But the tuture they will be suprised Our
Ocean Churches, etc. they “1ll see and hear about.
So e.1.l you tbembers must in the next 3 yea.rs, discipline
yourselves and do a1wa:y with all temptations or even th008hts against
the Principle. It sane ot yru find 1 t extremely dif ficu.lt, so much the better.
You no longer have to pay any attention to those things that
are fashionable or senseless. Then how importa.n’t it is to look
for the future American family •.
Today’s families are all working for and going in the direction
or corruption and hell — but you will be good people yes? ( Yes.)
So during your school days will you complain or will you be
happy if David Kim is more ·strict, even if he asks you to fast?
( Yes). Maybe if Mr. Kim fas ts along with you? (laughter) •
I! all of you tasted for example for 30 days, what would
happen? All the media would rush to see somebody before all dies. ,, (laughter). But they would find you playing tennis, catching
carp, etc. Could you do this? (Yes!) No! Yes! No! Vr<’II .i.~ ••
Should Father trust you that~ won’t quit hal.f’ way? Yea! Thank you, Thank you.
Should David Kim be gratetul to Father now? Should he use a baseball bat, or d6es 1le ba.ve to speak? (no). Do you like
that way? Yes8 Maybe IJlvid 1{J..m can just say, “October 10!”
and that will remind you. - Father has many things to do so he cannot s\ay in Barryto,!n
very long. But your success or t’ailure in the future is what . .,,.-…_, Father has talked about today. Your bands~ ha~, the walls, noor will. be the vitness that you have heard. I
Yoo,sisters mu.st work toward b~coming wives of.the President, I .__
Congressman, s,uiators or Professors. Work for a glorious future.
Make sure your beautiful faces are for the sake of God. Spirit
world will bow down and be gratef.’ul to you. This isI correct forever. It is not going to be easy. You have to become more strict. Choose the more strict way. Not the easy way.
