Sun Myung Moon Speaks to Unification Theological Seminary Students - 1986
. · .. . .. ..
Distinguished faculty, members of the graduating class, ladies and gentlemen: I am truly grateful that once again I have come to this sacred institution ,, of higher learning to give this commencement address. I wo~ld like to give my heartfelt congratulations to the 41 me mbers of the grad uat i ng class, out of which 18 have completed the three year divinity course, for your outstanding accomplish- ment and achievement during your years of study here.
I would like to also congratulate the parents and families , of the graduating students for bringing up such wonderful sons and daughters. They have been through a very unique course of study and have accomplished a difficult standard . to be receiving this recognition today. I would like to congratulate the faculty members for th’e ir meritorious work and dedicated teaching in order to produce such outstanding young leaders.
I am especially grateful to God Almighty that this institution could celebrate its Tenth Commencement. During this time, tremendous blessing has been bestowed, and we have witnessed the steady development of the Unification Theological Seminary into one of the most extraordinary institutions of higher learning in our world today.
In the first decade, we have built the tradition and laid the foundation. We are now embarked upon the second decade, and we are reaching for the stars.
God Created One Family of Man
In the beginning, God had an ideal. That ideal was the creation of one world inhabited by one family of man. If our human ancestors had been truly obedient to God, this would have come about. We would be living in a perfect world--a world of one family of man, sharing one language and culture, in which every member of the human race would be knit together as brothers and sisters. This family of man would have been united, achieving a perfect harmony and peace centered upon the true love of God.
The world we find today is far from that world of God ’ s ideal. Instead, we have at hand a world of division. One brother is turned against another, one nation is turned against another. Human history has been stained by unspeakable bloodshed; and the tragedy of struggle has been the human reality.
The Unification . . Church, . . however, . . is. . based. .. . .on .,the .knowl_ . . . edge. that t_he wi..11 of. God ‘is to bring ab~ut the ulti;ate ·restoration of his original ideal. That is ,•
- 2 - ,-.. also, therefore, the only hope of humanity.Furthermore, Unification teaching clearly states that we are living in the last days. This does not mean that we, riill all perish, however, but rather that human history has come to the end of its long, tortuous journey. The nightmare of fallen history will soon come to an end. The new day of fulfillment of the ideal of God is large on the horizon.
The Unification Church is heralding to the world the message of hope. We are the harbingers, and also the pioneers. We are the advance p9rty of history. Out of chaos, a new world order is on the horizon. The day of the dwelling of God among men is here, and every man and woman can share in this ~ransformation. We are here to\ ignite a spiritual .. revolution--the . . - remaking of the individual, the community, the nation and the world in accordance with the original ideal of God.
For this, we need leadership. Without leaders, very little can be achieved, even with the highest ideal. We need an institution where we can train the leadership for the new age. That is the purpose of the Unification Theological Seminary. For that purpose I founded this institution. We have graduated a large ---------,umber of excellent individuals who are presently in the field, working tirelessly o meet the standard of new age leadership.
Today we are adding to that cadre of leadership a distinguished group of 41 upright men and women. They will join the crusade of kingdom building. I am deeply satisfied on this occasion.
The Mission of America
I believe that the history of America is closely intertwined with Divine Providence. This nation has a destiny ~n God’s will. The Pilgrim Fathers of America came to this new land seeking religious freedom. They acknowledged God as the central authority of their lives.
These founding fathers made a covenant with God that America would truly become “One nation, under God, with liberty and Justice for all.” I believe that God heard their prayers, accepted their commitment, and gave His abundant bless- ings to this country.
America’s blessings, however, are not for the sake of America alone; they are for the sake of the world. America is playing a great role in the dispen- ; sation of God’s providence today to make possible one world ~nder God. Know i ng that this is the will of God, I came to America, even though I knew I would be persecuted and suffer, even possibly going to prison. This is what has come to pass.
Today America is facing two Goliaths. One is certainly communism. Comffiunism I is the enemy of God and humankind. The evil of communism stems out of its militant denial of God and its militant persecution of religi~n. Communism has set its sights on world conquest by any means possible, and has spread totali- 1 tarianism and terrorism to every corner of the globe, even on this very cont i nent. In this century, the human cost of communism has already been 150 million lives, and the spread of this God-denying ideology has deprived countless millions more of spiritual life.
Who shall stop this enemy if not America, the nation which God has raised up as He raised up David? America is the hope of freedom-loving people everywhere. What shall be our strength? Our strength shall be that of David; we must confront the enemy fearlessly with faith in God. I fervently ask you to take the role of David in America and in the world.
America at the same time faces another Goliath. The second Goliath is even more difficult to fight against. That second Goliath is the internal decay which has afflicted this nation and our Western society.
America is under spiritual attack today. I have heard that soon over half of the children in this country will be raised in single parent families. Drug use and crime are at. record levels. . Material success has become much more important than spiritual principles. All this is happening because God has been forgotten. He is no longer the central authority in American life.
Let me ask you: Who is God counting on to turn the tide of evil to good? ls it the President? The Congress? The courts? It is you, God’s shepherds, who must bravely and faithfully stand up to this awesome challenge of two Goliaths.
America is at the Brink ;
America is at the very brink. Her future as God’s champion ·for goodness, rig hteousness and freedom are at stake. America mu st repent. As God told the Israelites, “If my people, who are called by _my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” America has bro ken its covenant with God. Who shall renew that covenant~ It must be you, the Unification Theological Seminary graduates. You must go down on your knees before our Heavenly Father and once again renew the covenant which America has made with God.
This is the very message God told me to take to the shores of America. As you know from the story of Jonah, it is very difficult to take the message of God to a foreign land. For the last 15 years I have given everything I have for .. the sake of the salvation of this country. As a result, thousands of young people’s lives have been turned toward God. Millions of dollars have been spent -:.,-..,_ on ecumenical, educational and service projects. The entire Unification Church movement exists in this country not for itself but to help America fulfill her mission in front of God.
What greater challenge to America than the call to sacrifice, unity, and hard work? When has the world embraced the message of sacrifice, and when has religion prospered without sacrifice? But which shall we heed, the world or God?
The people of Nineveh listened to the word of God and humbled themselves. Let America be a modern day Nineveh rather than a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. Let - a great, new and powerful spiritual awakening sweep this nation. Let this nation be a model of true Christian love and service to the world. Let us stand strong against the destructive forces of totalitarianism and terrorism. Let us begin together. Let us begin today.
. •. .. ’ .··· . ·. ~
This is my message to you today, when you are about to undertake a great challenge in the world. You are my hope. You are my champions. Our world will be brighter because of you. I want each one of you to become a leader who will bring joy and comfort to God and be counted as a citizen of heaven.
May God bless you and your work.
Thank you very much .

FATHER SPEAKS TOUTS GRADUATES
[Everyone stood up and gave Father and Mother a standing ovatio n ] Father is concerned about the past UTS graduates who didn’t res pond to the call to Belvedere. Please raise your hands those who are not graduates. I see some of you are Church leaders and department heads. Do you kno w why Father founded the Unification Theological Se minary? By what has it contributed to the Unification Church? ~A plus factor or a minus f a ctor?
There was much work and headaches to create UTS. To make the first clas- ses it caused a leadership vacancy in the Church. Then the ones who studied also at the Seminary began too much pondering and thinking. Was this a minus factor? Many of the members in the Church field felt inside, “How come those students are studying and are not on the front lines?”
So instead of UTS graduates bringing the standard or level of the providence up, they somehow brought it down. Why is Father saying these things? It’s very important what Father is saying. When the UTS graduates were studying, then the Church members were supporting them. Father expected the graduates would come out as “models” or examples for the Church. But instead the seminarians took a side-step and tried to go the easy way. They ended up living in a kind of indep- endent and secular-life manner. Do you agree with this, or do you disagree? (no answer)
The problem we are facing here is what is the true tradition of the Seminary? What is the mainline or core tradition of the Unification Church? So therefore, we have to clearly analyze and define, “What is the tradition of the Unification Church?’’ Many UTS graduates, since they have learned Christian theology, their eyes are opened and they are wiser; and their ability to critique mostly critically has increased.
The main point is this: looking at the present lifestyle of the graduates, how we can accomplish victory and save America? Can your present attitude and lifestyle defeat Satan and save America and the world? These are serious ·questions to be answered. The most important quality of a whole person of high character is the ability to know themselves. What your responsibility is - do you need to know now or in the future? You have to know now, today.
What are the signs in America today? It this country growing upward or declining· in corruption? (Declining). So what can - straighten this country out so it can move forward? The question is, “Can UTS graduates be a cadre to ignite a religious revolution in this nation and in the world? So what a r e ~ doing now? You joined the Unification Church some years ago full of zealousness. Then you graduated from the Seminary. Now where are your results - what have you accom- plished?
Look at this nation of America of 240 million people and 20,000 towns. Not one of you has done anything to turn even one vill°age or town around. What do you think? Suppose there were 500 UTS graduates, then each graduate should be able to reach 800,000 people in this country. That means each person should be standing up and shouting, “Let’s go in this direction!” Have you even thought of that? What kind of influence do you need -to muster to start a revolution? What. are the pos.sibi-~iti_es·? ·These. a-r.E!; the quesl!~ons.. ,
Father remembers very vividly a talk he gave to the first class at UTS: that by 1985 they needed to “move” America. The UTS Administration today reported to Father that there are 48 graduates that they don’t even know where they are. Where would they be if they never went to the Seminary? But those of you that are remaining, are you thinking day in and day out about saving the world? (Silence). Do you think building a Kingdom of Heaven on earth is easy er far more difficult than you ever imagined? (More difficult).
That means that you yourselves should become the “trouble solvers” and be looking forward to overcoming all those adverse conditions. You should always think, “I will lick the difficult problems today and everyday.” You should have !he kind of attitude that you will pick up the most difficult task and fulfill it. What do you think, the rest of you, that we should just follow those kinds of graduates? You have to be entirely different so others will say, “I have never seen that kind of person!”
We were born to be different; that is our heritage. We are recognized by being a different “breed of people.” So this alone should be a starting point for uniting a revival or revolution. So you should become a model; a hero. Then that kind of young person could be multiplied. You become dynamos and your influence will expand! Wherever you stand you should become a life-giving element.
So why has UTS been created? Father would like that the American high-level society be influenced by our UTS graduates. So you should be superior in reasoning and logic, but also you must have action and achievement. This meets the standard of the Unification Church. How many people are surrounding you - looking at you? How much impact and infuence have you~?
Father’s “time” for action in this country has already happened. Father’s name is well-known in this nation and the world, is it not? How is he known, as famous or notorious? (Controversial). If Father has a “bad reputation” then that’s o.k. - all you have to do is turn that reputation around. Are you a proud Moonie or hiding and ashamed of being a Moonie? (Proud!) What were you ashamed of in the past - today you’ve got to be proud.
Now everyone sees Father as such a “giant” and that will cause the government and the world to be afraid. But Father is like a “Phoenix bird,” never giving up. The time will come when the undying “Phoenix bird” will be victorious, and so his image will be reversed. Father has become a giant and is shaking the world. But look at you - what have you done? You look tired and your eyes just wander around looking at the blue sky. Is this true? (No!)
But look at what Father has done: he has built up a media empire and businesse s spreading to other _nations, etc, The, who-le universe is now “blossoming and taking seed.” For 13 or 14 years our seed in America has been growing - we are no longer singularly isolated and alone. Rev. Moon is turning the world into “green.” Every direction you turn there is “Rev. Moon.”
Father is pushing you so hard, but none of you are moving. So with that kind of UTS graduates do you think you can transform America into the Kingdom of Heaven? But that is the kind of expectation that Father has in you. Father is the one that has been jailed and persecuted, but still he looks “fresh.” Can you still do this? How old is Father? (66). He is past retirement age - should he be in an “old people’s home” somewhere? (No!) Instead Father is sitting here challenging you young people.
So Father initiated the Seminary in 1975, and he sent there the brightest :y’1!.mg p~opl·e •from ·,th-e Unifi-cation Chu”rch, e-ven piel<.ing tbem .oui: o-f the .Ct1nrch
3. leadership. It was actually in 1976 when it was the most critical year for wor king and planning for the Yankee Stadium and Washington Monument rallies. But Father sacrificed and sent the best ones in hope of bringing out the best leadership. Instead, there has been a “watered-down versions” of UTS graduates that are cooi ng out, graduates that are just looking for the best salaries. Does Father ever get a salary? (No). Like others, do you think that Father ~as just been taking money somewhere out of the country? (Nol)
Today we have President Reagan in office and have revived right-wing c onse r- vatism. But back in 1977 there was “liberalism” in power. But Father all by himself made a showdown. Pres. Carter knew that Rev. Moon was his “enemy.” Fa ch er also defeated Congressman Donald Fraser who tried to ruin the Unification Chur ch . Even today without “our media” would Reagan have passed the Nicaraguan bill? No. Father was in prison but he revived the bill to help the “contras.” Now the mainstream of America knows that Father is the real power behind the bill to save this part of the world and Central America. By himself, Father is doi ng it. People ask, “Why did Rev. Moon wager a fight against <:;arter?” America today would be virtually “gone” if Carter had stayed in office.
So there is nothing that Father cannot really do; he’s in the front line from the “day one” to save this country. Even Bo Hi Pak did not understand why Father was sending him to strange places in South America. Father wanted to test the CAUSA program there. Now CAUSA has become a new “political party” and culture. So it spread and has landed in the United States and since then CAUSA has reached to religious, then political, and now military leaders. Now even the US Gover n.cent recognizes all of this and what Rev. Moon is doing. “The greater the patriotism,· the greater will be the awakening!” We have just completed a third CAUSA Conf e rence at the White House! There was a 11 Cain 11 and “Abel” battle going on in the White House over CAUSA, but the “Abel-type” side won and they have decided they will embrace and support an ongoing CAUSA program all the time! (Clapping).
One UTS graduate, at the risk of his life, went into Nicaragua and shot a film of the Mesquito Indians and their terrible plight. The White House saw the film and have now featured it on CBS with CAUSA and Rev. Moon’s names on it! (Clapping). This is Father’s achievement and no one in the world can tear it down! So the world thought that when Rev. Moon went to prison that he would be vanished and completely demolished. Is that true? (No!).
Look at the reality of the United States today: those pitiful young people on drugs and trapped in immorality. With that situation out there, how can you eat or sleep? This is the real battle and war. Father will never retreat without ultimate victory. Well, what about all of you? Are you like True Parents? What’s the difference between carbon and a diamond? It’s not the substance that is d i ffer e n : but the quality. So you Moonies, are you different? (Yes!) NO - I have seen s~me of you 11 hen-pecked 11 husbands; if you really become quality husbands, no matter how ma ny time you kick your wife she will never leave you! (Laughter). You ha ve to have respect for yourselves and be high-quality; become a pastor and become realistic. If you are praying and the “evil guy 11 interrupts you, then grab that guy and “smack him down 11 and say, “This is my prayer!” (Laughter).
America needs that kind of pragmatism. You have to be realistic; you must be ready to knock the 11 bad guy 11 down. The person who may mistreat you will later respect you if you have that kind of determination and zeal. You have to have guts and be bold against evil! Between good and evil, make the standard clear. That kind of men and women are needed in the villages, towns, and cities wherever you go.
, Fat·her has ~ducated y,ou . to,-lJT’S so·tha.i ·you ·c,an d-eal with minist;e-rs; scholars·,
4. and high-level officials. But look at you, you are “dish rags” just fooling around and people kicking you around. Father doesn’t want to have that kind of lazy, human trash! He wants you to be “shining”! Is Father right or wrong? (Right!) Ten years ago Father wanted you to go to the mayors, religious leaders and high- level governors, but you were too afraid. When Father was in Korea this last time, civic leaders and congressmen came to Father and pleadtd, “Why do you have to go back to that country? (U.S.) They put you in jail and mistreated you, please stay in Korea, Rev. Moon, and we will give you prestige!”
We have lost ten years of failure from UTS that we have to restore! Do you recognize that? (Yes, Father). If you recognize that failure then there is hope; we can repent and we can turn around in an entirely different direction. Actually mankind is born only once and then they die. Father doesn’t want your tombstone to “make people happy you are in the ground.” But your tombstone should read, “God Bless John Doe, he has done something great!” One thing Father wants to be proud of and to be a historical place in this country is Unification Theo- logical Seminary. Our continuing Ph.D. graduates have been studying for 10 years, but for what purpose? Before you die you will want to leave some “right footsteps” for posterity, for your children.
So Father has been thinking that if I die I still have 500 “little Sun Myung Moons” out there in the world witnessing, working and doing my mission. Father has been looking forward to the day that you will represent Rev. Moon’s spirit. Don’t forget Father is hoping that UTS will spread the message to thou- sands. So all the young people will continue in Father’s “battle.” Younger people than yourselves should be affected by you. So when you are a State Leader if you know the top leadership in your state, and if the young people in your region adore you, then that’s what Father wants. That will be a consolation to Father; a comfort and a joy! That’s the way you can save this nation.
We are living in a satanic and evil world and we have got to transform this into a good world. If you “lift up” the spirit world then you can return to earth. This is not an empty dream; this is reality. It in not temporal, but it is for eternity. You know the Divine Principle; you have to come back to this world if you don’t finish the task, but it should be for joy. The Unification Church Blessing comes at the perfection level of the growth stage. Then in seven years time you have to travel so that the world becomes your “nation.” You have to become a _world citizen before you are . “elevated up” into the spirit world.
“Money should follow Moonies; Moonies should not go after or follow money or dollars.” When you go to the Seminary you have not wasted your time, but in going after the dollar remember Jesus’ quote: “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and then all these things shall be added … “ Father was never concerned with the mundane thinge·of this world - what to eat and what to wear. You too should become good-example “grandfathers” to your grandchildren. Should you worry about money, have self-centered thinking, and have mundane worries about yourself and your family? No! So what are you going to leave behind? The “right path.” Even if you don’t leave any children behind but at least have the “right path” then it’s o.k. Wake up and shake up America into that right path! It’s not good enough to say, “Come on over here” - that’s not good enough. You have to go and grab them! Those are the real heretics who just sit and wait for things to happen.
You are already “an historical figure” simply because you are born at the same time in history as Father and you are educated in the Principle. We accuse Adam and Eve all the time, but by the same token you will be evaluated. Some incredible precious moments are waiting for you in the future! You have to be
s. “single-minded.” (What about Hugh Spurgin, are you going to follow Father?). Those who recognize that you have failed, raise your hands. But I want you to understand that we are living in the most important moment in human history. Throughout 1986, 1987, and 1988, for the next three years, starting from August 17, 1986, will be a “high peak” in our dispensation; we are “crossing the Jordan River.” After this 3-year period is over Father may be returning and staying permanently in Korea.
Within the ranks of the Israelites, 2000 years ago, who opposed Jesus? The Lawma kers and the Senate. So the President, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, all these should become transformed and should welcome the “coming of the Messiah.” That’s our responsibility - so we are educa~_ing our members to accomplish this purpose. Here in America victory must be b’ound by Christianity and they must be part of the major role in influencing politics and saving America. The political situation in America can be compared to the right-hand and left-hand thieves on Jesus’ cross: the United States Senate represents the “right” and the Christian Churches the “left.” All along Christian Churches have been talking about the “body of Christ” and that they must return to God. Now the Christian Church must really become the body of Christ; it must break with the left and support the right and “consume Communism.”
There is an “Abel-type” political party and a “Cain-type” political party in America, but God only needs one party: “a God-type party” centered on true love. Human history so far is like a “man without a head” - we have to restore the central nervous system. The Republi _c an and Democratic parties are always “fighting” each other, but they should come to realize that they really. belong to the same “body.” Neither American Democracy nor Soviet Communism can ever revive their own countries; so “Cain” is finished, and “Abel” is trying to keep going a little farther.
The Unification Movement is the “new hope” for today - new leaves are coming out of the tree. If Father “anointed” the President of the United States, that President would become “God’s President.” You can’t call True Parent’s ideology “Parentism” because American young people wouldn’t like that, would they? (Laughter It’s simpler just to say “Godism.” (Bo Hi Pak said, “Moonism”) Father has described why he founded UTS: it is for the future “Americanization” of Godism and Parentism. There should be a clear-cut understanding of Unification thought. After graduation from the Seminary your job is to Americanize “Godism” and “True Parentism.” It doesn’t matter if it “rains or shines” you will proceed toward the this goal!
In the spiritual world you have to have “registration.” You have to have registration of your names in the Book of Life to enter the spirit world. How well you have known and followed “Godism” and “True Parentism” will determine your re~istration into the spirit world. That world is organized around the number “12, 11 representing the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, the Unification Church will eventually be organized in 12 different tribes. It is by each tribe that you will enter the “Pearly Gates.” America has not yet reached that goal or level.
Everyone thought that Rev. Moon’s Church represented “hell,” but after the CAUSA lectures they are visibly moved and realize that Rev. Moon is “good,” and that Godism, religious anti-Communism, is the only hope for the world. This is the one time that Father wants to use you tQ capitalize on your best talents. You should not be concerned about the mundane problems of what you are going to eat, what you’re going to wear, and where you sleep. No, Father’s direction is a kind of opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime. Jesus said, “ … My yoke is easy, give me your burden,” but if Father steps on your shoulders you ! • .
6. like it, don’t you? (Clapping). Raise your hands, how many of you can teach the Divine Principle or CAUSA lectures. (Many).
This is a fallen, satanic world and the “trees are dying.” New leaves should spring out upon those dead branches - that is you. All Father needs now is small roots (seeds) that can be planted on top of the soil and then those seeds can grow by “leaps and bounds.” If you can become that kind . of dynamic leader, then only one leader for one country would be enough!
You now know about the world and you know the Divine Principle, so can you tell exactly where we are? Well, the Unification Church has been in the middle of a classic struggle between mind and boqy. But we have come to the final goal now. We are “crossing the Jordan River, and we are all centered on one God.” So far there has been incredible confusion in our movement, but in the future only those “elite,” members with their mind and body together, shall inspire others. Even Jesus, among his own disciples, selected one person like Judas Iscariot because Jesus could have taken care of and “melted” even that kind of person. Jesus 1o1as a parent and washed his children’s feet. American Unification Church leaders have failed Father over and over again, but Father has kept on embracing them like a father.
Your most valuable and important training is experience with people. You have to experience all kinds of people. It is very difficult, but if you can handle that, it is a very important accomplishment. Church leaders are “people leaders”; it is the .most difficult job. Today in America many ministers are not respected by the people, but in the future our ministers will be the most revered and respected. In the future people will come to the churches, not to the civic courts to be judged. There will be 12 different tribes in 4 different directions, so you will have to be able to build and handle any direction. If you know the Divine Priniciple then you have the ultimate truth and knowledge. But if you know the truth and you didn’t follow it, then that’s the ultimate judgment.
Those who want to become “Godly” men and women, raise your hands. (All raise hands). I want you to make one fina 1 pledge: “Father, I wi 11 re late with the leadership of America and I will let them know the True Parents!” “Abel” is in the mind position, and “Cain” represents the body position. Of congressmen and senators we have 535 lawmakers in this country. If we could “grab” them, “convert” them (to Godism) then -we -would have it made! Can you do it? (Yes!)
If each UTS graduate multiplied themsleves with the response of one lawmaker with the highest honor, then it -would take 88 seminarians plus those repentant graduates, then Father could “anoint” a President of the United States! That doesn’t mean that each one of you should become a congressman or a senator, it means you just “turn them around” so that they will become united with yc;>U.
The United States of America is the leader of the free world. When this free world has a righteous and good leadership, then this evil world will come crumbling down. If you can do what I’ve said then Father’s mission is all over. Will you do it? (Yes!) Will you do it? (Yes!) Will you really do it? (Yes, Father!). O.K., the time is ripe; the time is ~ I The only thing we need is your commitment and pledge to be bold and strong. You know history from the Divine Principle; but they do not . know where we_ are going in history. THE TIME IS NOW! THE TIME IS HERE!
Father all alone has been laying the steps all by himself. Only God and True Father know the plan; not even Mother knows, she just simply follows. TODAY, FATHER HAS GIVEN YOU GOD’S PLAN. Today is July 1, 1986, and Father has invited .. .. …
you, especially you UTS graduates, to Belvedere. For 10 years Father has raised you up - now Father wants his “cash return” back. I hope that to you “Kingdom building” has now become a more realistic picture. So far you have wasted so much time. You should have sacrificed and worked harder than your Japanese brothers and sisters. The Japanese members came here to this nation to assist you, but you must become “masters” and serve and suffer more than thty. The more you suffer and the more you sacrifice is the only way you become “masters.” Father so far has let the Japanese suffer in this country, but now it’s your turn. Those who work the most and serve the most, around the house or the center, are the ones that will become the “master” and leader. It’s that simple I
Father is a real fried of American women, he wants to straighten them out. (Laugher). He wants to make American women true women to true husbands. It’s very clear - today Father has spoken “clearly to you.” So who will give Father liberation? You will. Here is your new mission: You must meet and convert those political and religious leaders of America - become their younger brothers and sisters. Are you going to run for the Senate or the Congress? Not necessarily; you are the “mind.” In your mind, think this way, “I’m going to target this certain person for conversion!” You can now have a target, but U.S. Senators and Congress- men represent a “microcosm” of the United States, there are good and bad elements. But who shall be the ones to clean it up? (We will!) Yes, these Hoonies will, it’s our clear duty! If you just leave it alone, America will get worse. So we have to add “creative energy” to make it get better. We have to stop evil and “apply the brakes.” We will voluntarily make it happen through education! “All those without vision will perish!”
[After lunch, 4:00 p.m., Father again spoke to the UTS graduates and assigned the “new” 1986 graduates to go to Gloucester, Massachusetts, for tuna fishing! Father continued speaking on “fishing.” Later reports were given from the Japan- ese Family and from Bo Hi Pak].
