The Assembled People - 100-Day Training Session At Belvedere

100-DAY TRAINING SESSION AT BELVEDERE March 25, 1973

TI-IE ASSEMBLED PEOPLE

I am going to address you are the people assembled here today. You have formed

some kind of chronic habits, so it is difficult to change those things, but we are going

to restart our way of living in this place. Centering on what is good and what is evil,

you can well define whether your ancestry has been, in a ,way, either good or evil. Some

must have been good while others must have been bad. But you can say that you ancestry

is either more onthe side of good or more on the side of evil. Your ancestry can be

described as something like a mountain range - some have recorded high peaks, while

others low peaks or valleys. So, your ancestry can form a mountain range. On the line

of someone’s ancestry, you will go up making the peaks still higher and higher. In other

cases, your ancient ancestors have erected high peaks, but from then on the peaks are

becoming lower. Some of you here are situated on the high peak which your a ncestry has

built up, and some others are situated on the lower peaks. We want to start right here and

are going to go through the same standard of living, but since your ancestry is different

with each individual, the conditions of indemnity which you each have to go through are

You are the totalization of the traits of your ancestry. Yrn r ancestry formed a certain

complicated lineage to reach down to you. So, everyone, from that viewpoint is different

from each other. You must realize that you are not yourself - that means you do not belong

to yourself. You are the heritage of your ancestry, and the totalization or fruit of your

ancestry. You claimed equality between yourselves, but what does that really mean?

Can you really be equal to each other? In order for us to make this group into a real and

The Assembled People

harmonious oneness, we must tear down the high peaks to bury the low valley to make it

level. We want to totalize all your past and make it level ground so that we can work from

there on. You must kn ow how to liquidate your past or make your ancestry a level ground

on which to start your mission. You must tear down arrogance, height and pride for the

sake of those of a lower standing.

By totalizing all your ancestry and making it even ground, we can start from that

point on. We must bring down the members who are situated on the high peak, while aiding

or helping those on the lower standing to come up to the same level. In doing that we must

cooperate with each other, and you cannot take too much pride in yourself and in what you

are. When God would tell us how to be saved, He doesn’t say that you can be saved if you go on like

this, and salvation is at your own disposal, but He says different things. We have almost

to go contrary to our will and zeal. On the reverse way of restoration, we must go hand in hand

w ith each other not separately. If you are situated on a high peak because of your ancestry,

you should want to go down , and for the first interval (first few months or few years) you

are unbalanced and trying to come down. But you are now going to shout out on the high

peak of your ancestry and say, “I an contented and I am going to start out from here. “

Then, you will find a force dragging you down, and you want to lift with your left hand

those who are situated on the lower standing.

After you have made your right and left on level ground, you still have your front and

rear. You have your up and down or above and below. You must straighten out all those

things to make your ground really level. If you are all from the same nationality, it may

be easier for you to call to each other, “Why don’t you come down or why don’t you come

up?” But you are from different nationalities and this will make it harder for you to do

that. Some are disobedient and want to go up while they are told to go down, and some

The Assembled People

are not willing to come up and stay on the lower level. Sometimes like the ocean tide

the time element and God’s will would come to rub off the edge of your personality and mingle

the edge stone pebbles together to make those really round and perfect. Between us some-

times we cooperate with each other and mingle - even in collision we want to make ourselves

rounded in personality. But sometimes those who are more powerful in spirit would come

to round the edges of other people, and these types of people would remain and be willing

to be corrected in personality or in traits. Here we need the term “humility” or “obedience.”

Sacrifice is the most important element or factor in our life here. With obedience, cooperation

and humbleness, we want to remain prepared to receive the edge - rounding trails which come

upon us. In doing this, somehow we are headed for somewhere, and we are going and

changing every moment. But we must be headed for the same goal; it would be awful if we

are going in different directions.

You must go in absolute obedience to your commander, even if you may have to go across

the mountain, go through ditches, go across dark valleys. If I leave everything in your hands,

and you could do things at random, what would happen? The greater our project, the

broader our scope, the more difficult our path becomes. So you would need sacrifice and

obedience. In order to make our group look good and look like the kingdom of heaven on

earth to other people, we must be perservering, forgiving, and cooperative with each other.

When we start our group action, there will come about central figures - the leading personalities.

Those who ar more sacrificial and coopeative will be leading figures - always. If each one

of you 50 or more members here is so sacrificial as to want to raise the other people at d the sacrifice of yourselves, our movement will prosper and evelop very soon.

Do you want to be sacrificial for the sake of the whole? Do you want to go through

difficulties for the good of the whole group? In order for God to make you as a whole group

The Assembled People

good, sane and wholesome, He cannot leave you to do whate ver you want to do, but for the

first time, He wants to make you obey Him, so that under His command you can do the same

thing under the same thought. Then, when you put things into action, you can develop to the

next stage. In order to make level ground here, those who are of higher standard of ancestry

must not be complaining or unwilling to tear down their position to fill up the lowr valleys.

But those who have been on a lower position must be grateful to those people. Members from

America, members from Germany, memebers from France and elsewhere, you must not

insist that what you have had is the most desireable.

If you are not willing to discard what you have had up till now, you cannot become one

with other people. I am going to mix you and mingle you like this. In being mixed, you will

want to stay in the middle. Not everyone can stand in the middle. It is wise for you to leave

everything in Master’s hands, so you will be re-created and made as he would have you. In

the Bible we read that we must become as innocent as tender as lambs. We hay e a boy here, Chris

from Booneville, wh ere he has had the experience of raising sheep. What do the sheep do?

He would shout “hey-up” and in his own way, and then they would recognize his voice. Even

if the whole group of sheep were grazing on the meadow, at his shout they would lend their

attentive ears, and would come gathering around him. They wouldn’t calculate things before-

hand and say, “If I go to him, he would give me humble food like yesterday.” At the sound

of his voice, they would rush to meet him and gather around him. They are so obedient and

That is well said in the Bible by the parables of sheep gathering around the Lord.

Even if they are in the process of lovemaking, they would dash to their master - the

shepherd. That’s what Master imagines, and it’s true. Then I would think that the parables

of the sheep in the Bible are the best ones. Some sheep must be high on the mountain peak,

some in the lower valleys all scattered, but they would just gather around the shepherd at

The Assembled People

mountain, would they complain? They never complain. They may look innocent or naive,

but they are wise animals to act as they are led by their shepherd. Even though they may

have to cross the desert, they would not complain in absolute obedience to their shepherd.

Are we like the sheep? Are we as obedient as they are? The more obedient the sheep are

to the voice of the master or shepherd, the faster they can go. Isn’t that true? (Yes!) If

you are all going to be disobedient and insist on what you think is the best, it will be very

difficult to unite you into oneness. The sheep gathered around the shepherd must not be

stubborn. You must be receptive and obedient to the Master’s voice.

We have learned that Jesus was the lamb. In other cases we are told that he is the

shepherd. Only those who have the experience of having obeyed God or obeyed the seniors

to them can lead the group under them. Jesus said that he came not to be served, but to serve

the people. When you want to obey or follow your leader, then you must first of all know that

he has had the same experience of obeying of following someone his own senior. If you are

led by the hands of the false shepherd, his purpose of leading you is different from the

purpose of the real one. The evil shepherd would want to lead you into the place of death.

You must know how to distinguish the voice of the good one from the bad. The good

shepherd is difficult or opposite from the former. You can totally rely on him and even

thought you may have to go across the valley of death, you are sure that you are going to be

led to the peak of goodness. The whole group of sheep is so obedient that they don’t complain

on the way and wouldn’t leave the shepherd. They would just follow him wherever he goes

to the final terminal point. If any of them complain and would leave the group, these are

the goats - not the sheep. In order for you to be connected with the truth or become one

with the truth, you must be receptive and obedient to the voice of your leader. You must

become so sacrificial as to leave behind your past traits of arrogance, pride and everything

The Assembled People

else. . You are not going to be forced to do that, but you are going to obey him from your

In the Bible we are told to be humble rather than arrogant, obedient rather than

disobedient, sacrificial rather than stubborn, sticking to your own way. It’s the maxim and

the most important discipline coming from God. If you believe in and trust the leader, and

you want to blindly obey him, that’s the wisest way. In doing that, too, if you say, “I will not follow him anyway and at the end if I find it wrong, I will leave him.” That’s/khe attitude

either. Even at the first stop you may find it not wholesome or desireable, but you still

want to obey him because you are sure that he is going to lead you to the safest place. But

on the way, something terrible could happen. The shepherd who is responsible for leading

the whole group may be starving to death, and he may have to kill one of the sheep and feed

himself. In that case would the sheep on the altar of sacrifice complain against his shepherd?

“What have I done, I shouldn’t have followed this shepherd. After I have gone through such

difficulty, he’s going to eat me.” Then, what would happen if the rest of the sheep made a

demonstration against the shepherd? (Laughter) When the road is so bumpy and long, to get

strengthened to lead the final couple female and male sheep, he could keep these safe and

sane to the last point. Then what would happen there? Even though that mfr have to happen,

the lea der, the shepherd, must go to the ideal place. If he didn’t do that, he would starve

to death with the rest of the sheep in danger, and be faced with death. Then, the rest of the

sheep would do that. If you were he, what would you have done? God, too, even though

He would have to sacrifice all mankind, He would like to keep the central personage, male and

female at least, to lead the future descendants having nothing to do with sin. We hope things

are not that bad, but anyway, if the whole world is against God, God will keep His son and :Bis

The Assembled People

bride intact from satanic invasion, and from thenon they would want to multiply their

descendants.

Up to the present moment, all Christians have followed Jesus’ teachings very faithfully -

at least they thought they followed in the right way. But on the threshhold of the next era

or the next project of God, if they fail to recognize the new age, they are doomed to fall

away. God is compelled to throw them away. If the voice of the new shepherd appears, those

sheep must be able to distinguish his voice, and they must not be like in the case of Lot’s wife in

the time of Abraham but they must leave everything away. You don’t want to look back to your

past, clinging to what you have had, but come and joing your shepherd. Your shepherd would

tell you to follow you while you would want to leave and you would complain, saying, “He

doesn’t know my heart. This man must not know sleepiness.” If you are so sleepy as to not

hear the voice of your shepherd, you are in the midst of the whole flock of sheep and the one

next to you will push you forward and you must even walk in your sleep. You must remember

those who complain cannot go forward. You may be complaining, saying, “This shepherd of

mine a month ago led us to green meadows, but now we are on the desert,” or you may have

to swim across a river or you may have to go down a cliff. You must follow him.

Would you choose to be sheep or a mountain goat? Mountain goats don’t know their

shepherd. They are not used to the calling of the shepherd. Even though they may look free

on the mountainside without having their shepherd, they are doomed to be sacrificed to the

vulture or any stronger animal. They are faced with danger at every moment, but the sheep

who have their shepherd are not in danger. They would lend their attentive ears to the ice of thei.

shepherd. This flock of sheep will be led to the place of the ideal in the end. The chosen

nation of the Israelities was like a flock of sheep following their master - their shepherd.

If the Israelites under the guidance and leadership of Moses, were like a flock of sheep under

his guidance, they could not have died in the wilderness. They were on their mission to

The Assembled People

establish the foundation of a nation. But we are on the way to lay the foundation on the

world-wide level. We have the people at the time of Exocus. We are coming out of the land of Egy~

under the guidance of our leader. On the way, your attention must not be distracted. No

complaint must be there. If you complain you will be sacrificed to the wolves.

Complaint, stubborness to carry out your will is the most dangeroud thing. In making

complaints you will fall away and you will be prey to wolves. If you are in the position of

the young, and you have your own mother sheep, if she is disobedient to the shepherd, she

will lead you to the darkness and to the valley of death. If you are going to follow her instead

of the shepherd, you are going to fall to destruction. If you arein that position, you have to

leave your own mother sheep and want to follow the shepherd.

You have your own state representative, and the SR should obey the president of the

nation, and he is under our Master. But if you find your SR disobedient to the senior, then

you don’t have to follow him. The same thing applies to the people of our nation. The

governor takes control over the people in that state, but if he is not obedient to his presdient,

something awful will happen. Even the President, if he goes against God’s will, that will

endanger the people under him. In our world, we are a flock of sheep, and we are going to

transmigrate into a new world. We have migrated into the U. S., bu after our work here we

are going to move to other places. We have a long way to go, but if the way is long and our

w ork is great and difficult, we must be more obedient to the leader. We have gone only a short

How much do you think we have covered? Out of the whole population of the world we

are only several hundred. Then, you are the leader to how many under you? It means that each onE

of you has under him or her the whole population of a nation, perhaps. At the time of Exodus,

when the Israelites had left the land of Egypt, they conveyed the message to reach out to every

one of the Israelites in the enemy country. The time and place is set, and then, at the sound

The Assembled People

of the drum or the trumpet call, they would come out at an instant. We have the mission

of letting people know from corner to corner. You must let them know when and where

we are going to move out of this evil land, and those who are dedicated will come out without

fail. Then, we can even let them know by broadcasting, and they will be willing to come.

Our ground to work is the whole nation and the whole world.

Maybe in the nearest future we are going to have a demonstration from every corner of the

world, and the satanic people will be surprised at that. Are you not willing to do that? (Yes!)

Maybe we are going to have a radio station of our own, and Master would be here, and would

broadcast and let you km w that at a certain day and at a certain place, you are going to

have a world-wide demonstration. Where we are going to go is the question. Through the

broadcast, you may be told to come to a certain place leading your flocks. Even though it

may be across the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean, you are going to come to the place. You must

be at least as serious as Moses to lead your people. Or you must be so serious as one of

the people of the Israelites who was guided by Moses at that time.

If Moses and his people were like that on the providence of God and on the national

level, how much more we have to do if we have to carry out our mission on the world-wide

level. Our mission is greater than that of the Israelites in Moses’ time. God is more

serious to help us - obeying the command that is coming from above. Your depth of faith,

you r attitude of obeying the senior commander, is always the problem. You must be able

to distinguish whether or not it is coming from the central commander.

It’s a simple question, but can I ask you, would you want to follow me, or me to follow

you? (To follow you!) Would you want me to leave everything in your hands so you can do

everything as you please? Here in our group there is no such thing as democracy. Democracy

is the system that can be applied until people can find the true leader. If you find a true

leader you are safe to obey him. Can democracy be applied to God? Would you vote for

The Assembled People

the Messiah in a democratic way? Canyou choose your parents by voting? Democracy is

the system that can be applied on the way, but at the very beginning, at the source there can

be only one in the position of the true leader. Those who are assembled here must be obedient,

humble and attentive to the voice of your shepherd, your leader. If you are going to follow

him, even a tx almost blindly, then you are going to be led to the ideal world.

At the time of the chosen nation of the Israelites, after they have attained the goal, they

knew that they were going to have their share. At the terminal, they were going to have the

ideal nation or the kingdom, and there too, they had to organize a government, a system.

They had to have a new law - a constitution. If I may have to die before setting up the

constitution, what will happen? Then your future descendants will still have to wander in the

wilderness - without enjoying the kingdom of God as citizens, where they enjoy freedom under

the law. You are going to leave your descendants still in the place of death - still in the darkness

without kowing where to go and what to do. While Master is still alive, we have to reach the

place and set up the constitution there, so that your future descendants and you can enjoy divine

freedom under the divine law. On the way, I cannot let you know of the lay, or the way of living

in the ideal world. You must be obeying me - that’s all you have to do to accelerate our way.

You must be obedient, you must be humble and sacrificial.

You are going to be like that and you are going to do that not for the sake of your own

self, but for the sake of your family, your nation and the whole world. We are people going

somehwere - going to immigarte to somewhere else. So, day and night we must be walking on

the right path ahead. There is allays time element involved. When you are told that you

are going to be destroyed by the enemy, if you do not go across the valley or river by a certain

time, if you knww that, then you are going to be really serious and you are going to dash to

the line at full speed. Our purpose is to go across the obstacles at the soonest possible dat e.

If you are sure of my being the leader of our group, and being the leader of the whole

world tinder the divine will. iron can ralcnlate the time alamPnt_ Wes haves ant to male 111

The Assembled People

it a success while Master is alive. From the standpoint of God’s heart, even if we have

to sacrifice a certain number of people, Master has to make this project a success while

he’s alive. He cannot be slow in advancement on the hurried way, even though many people

will slow down and fall away and fall back. He has got to go across a certain way to reach

a desired place while alive - that’s a most serious problem.

You have seen that I have brought the Japanese members, and would just drive them

out with hard work from morning till night. You see they are so obedient to me, but some of

you may say amonst yourselves, “Well, let’s wait and see how long they can be like that. “

There are many American members who have been here before they came - Steve and several

others - and I know they are watching the Japanese members. Instead of being cooperative

with the Japanese brothers and sisters, they are sort of reluctant to do that. Is it is a wise

attitude? The Japanese are from the far east - having come here, they are going to help the

providence in this country. You must be cooperative with them. If you don’t have that attitude,

there will be a personnel shift made. I have brought them here, so I am responsible for them.

I have brought the Euro pean members to the U. S. They have left their beloved ones, they

have left their Unified Pam lies in their own countries. So, I am more sympathetic with them,

and they are with me in spirit in mind more than with anyone else. That’s natural isn’t it?

When they are in difficulty, they would feel like coming to me and appealing to me. They is are more attentive than others in knowing where Master/and what he does. Wouldn’t that

be true? They would miss me all the more, they would pray more than all the others. So,

if the American members don’t struggle harder, they will be defeated by the members from

other countries.

There is a providential significance there. I have first brought 120 members from the

European nations, snd 120 from the far east. In bringing those people over to the U. S., I

The Assembled People

meant to arouse their attention and awaken the American members towork harder than they,

and in cooperation with them to carry out their mission in this country. But if you fail to do

this, I will take those people back at that time, together with your blessings. When you

look at the Japanese brothers, you must not think of the national boundary. You must not say,

“They are from Japan. “ You must transcend the national boundary in our group. After a

certain period of time, if I find our project a failure in this country, I will wrap up my belongings

and take the people somewhere else.

In that case, the Ame ican members too must migrate to another part of the world. You

must be prepared for that. Then you are going to be transferred to another part of the world,

and there you are going to be the strangers. As in the case of the “J” brothers and the

European brothers, you must be working harder than ever there. So, why don’t you work

hard here to compete with them and to really be working harder than those people from other

nations. My desire, my ambition is to make the American members stronger than those I

have brought from elsewhere. I meant to stimulate you, arouse your zeal and courage.

Wouldn’t you expect that? Then do as the Japanese and European brothers do - or do more

than they do.

Even though I don’t stop by too often, I know that Phyllis and Darlene are working so

hard in this corner. David Kim has kept telling Master that they need more people helping

them, but I wouldn’t answer him. I would leave them to work to the maximum. At that time,

or just before the time they would collapse, I would give them a helping hand. This is my

method of guiding people - the others would be sympathetic with them and be aroused to more

zeal. I late the idea of anyone’s wanting assistance from others without doing their very

best to the last moment. Can I, in my position, want God to give me a helping hand, when I

have not done my part to the utmost degree? If you do a certain work by the help of other

people, it means that you have to share the fruits with them. Then you will lose more.

The Assembled People

You would want to do it by yourself if possible.

You have still a long way to go. There are so many things to be done by you, aid not

having done your part to the maximum degree, how can you desire to have a helping hand?

Then, what you have done will partly be someone elses. You wouldn’t want to have help

in that way. From now on, I want you to have the attitude of not wanting any help until

you have done your part to the very best. You may, at intervals, find that you have tried,

but still you have not done it quite properly, or done all that is expected from you. But

you can still try harder, and there are many other ways you can test or try. So, as long

as there is more work and more possibilities and more ways to be applied there, you must

go on trying that. How many cycles or rounds of D. P. lecture have you had? Two cycles?

We have assembled here not for the sake of the individual self, but for the sake of the

whole group, for the sake of this nation, this whole world, and for the sake of God. We are

not going to spend any single moment without doing this - without having this idea. This is a

horrible place in a sense. In order to make it possible for you to go through training, the

Japanese brothers are visiting door to door to raise money. The european brothers are on

the mobile teams, crying out to the people of an unkown land. This is a horrible place, you must

know that. Therefore, you must be different from what you have been. The people from the

east are helping the western people here. You must be able to work harder than the Japanese

~x brothers, at least.

Since we are assembled here, what is the purpose of our being here? You must

accomplish this while he is still young. Without me, it would be much more difficult. Even

your future descendants will have to go through difficulties. We have still a long way left

before us, but you do not know what it’ll be like without me. You are going with me under

The Assembled People

my direct guidance, but without me on the earth your future descendants will have to know

the providence of God directly through prayer - not being directly instructed by me. Don’t

you remember in Jesus’ days, if the people had obeyed him, they could have attained their

mission in 20 years, but the Christian peoplek have had to spend 2, 000 years, and they have

not attained the goal, in the direct guidance of Jesus. You are going to do greater things

than the disciples of Jesus and than Jesus himself, if you are going to do what I am going to

tell you to do, and if you are prepared to do it. You must know that clearly. There is only a

short time that I am going to be in the U. S. The greater our mission is, the more serious

you must become. You must realize that we are in the final battlefield, where we have to pour

out our whole energy - our whole beings. Don’t you remember the case of the Jewish people?

They did not follow Jesus, even though they had been prepared.to work with Jesus. Because of

this, they faced a bitter destiny, and they have been scattered all round the world going through

untold difficulties and misery. If the U. S. wu uld fall in carrying out its mission, I am afraid

the same thing would happen. I am not interested in what you achieved here in the U. S. in

the external sense. I don’t take interest in the material or scientific world and achievene nts.

You have seen that I was ;decorating the whole house and spending so much money on that.

I have not done that for my sake, and there is a puip ose for that.

If you American members would fail to carry out your mission within a certain period

of time, I will leave you with any feeling of reservedness - it is nothing to me at that time. Don’t

ever think that if you fail to do this this year, it will continue until next year, or if you fail

to do it next year then there are so mzny years left to accomplish it. Don’t ever think that

way! There are certain time elements involved. I am looking for one member out of so

many members whom I can order to do anything and who would obey me. Who is going to be

that person? But it is not so simple as it may sound. You can never imagine how much and how

many times God had tested me until he chose me. At that time, to me, God was not a loving

The Assembled People

God, but He was a cruel God. But I knew the reason for His having to do that to me, and

in doing that He wanted me to be the person qualified for the mission to have nothing to do with

accusation from the people. He knoews that I had gone through so much difficulty, and even in time

of trial that no one else could overcome. Anybody else would have complained in that position.

Sometimes He was so changeable, I could not grasp what He would want me to do. He

did that to such a point that anybody would be skeptical about that coming from God, and

sometimes they would think that it might be coming from the Devil. It is only having gone

through that kind of difficulty and hardship that I gained the qualifications as the leader. In the

future, I am going to bring the whole of mankind as a sacrifice on the altar before God. But

before that, I must play the role of the sacrifice myself.

If any one of european members who are now here would like to go back to their nation

before accomplishing their mission, their whole nation and their whole country will be put to

shame. In that case, that person is blind and ignorant of God’s will, and with his failure, the

whole nation would be put to shame. If our mission is going to be a failure in this nation, which

we have thought to be the leading nation of the whole world, then we are going to take away all

the people, and go with all the blessing to another country (e. g. to Africa), and if we are more

successful there, we can influence the world more easily, perhaps. In that case, we are

going to bring more people from more nations to put the manpower in that nation, and

concentrate our efforts on that nation. Then, we can influence the whole world with our

success there. Heaven can judge the rest of the people with the sword held high.

We are in the most dreadful position and Master is reluctant to judge the people with

by wielding a sword, but you don’t know what it is. He is not only a loving father to you, but

he is going to be a judge. At a certain point he has to leave those on the right side, but has

to cut off all belonging to the left. You must know that I have the fearful side. Sometimes I

am in such a hurry and so impatient, and I want my order to be carried out right away without

The Assembled People

losing a moment. Sometimes I feel like forgiving you, but most of the time I feel like

scolding and punishing you. As we near the terminal point, the nearer we are, the iw re

impatient I get. I would not leave you alone like this, but I would just put you in hardship

and in trial. When I have to do that, I am not going to do that for you as individuals, but

for the whole group and for the whole world - I am serious. You must be prepared and

willing to do that before ordered. You are history makers, so you must have paid time and

energy to that degree.

More than anything else, I would want you to obey me on the absolute base. I want you

to be humble in obedience. With you like that, I can lead you faster towards the goal. Now

you can meet me, you can see me in Belvedere, but I want you to work in the frontline as

soon as possible, so by the end of April I wo uld want to see you in the frontline as soon as

possible. By the end of April I will have been here for 6 months. After my 6 months stay here, I

would want to visit from place to place, instead of being here. I have so far met so many

Senators and Congressmen whom I wanted to meet. Now I am going to meet world-renowned

scholars. I want to finish th at somewhere in the middle of April, then I am going to visit the

mobile teams in the frontline. Even though you may have to continue your training here, I

will leave you and go out to visit the mobile team members.

But on the iritual level you must always be thinking of God, thinking of me, thinking of

your nation aid of your mission. Back in Korea, too, the members were sort of slumbering

while I was there, but when I am here, having left them, they are awakened and anxious to

carry out their mission. They are anxious to bear fruit to show me when I return. They hear

the news of what is taking place in the U. S. , and as time goes by they are skeptical about

Master’s coming back to them, and they become anxious to have him back. Even those who

The Assembled People

were reluctant to obey him while he was there, would want him back, and would think that

they would want to obey him when he comes back.

Bhnt it may be too late. I think and I feel that I have done my part in Korea. If the proejct

here will be a success, I can bring my children over to the U. S. All that is left for me is to order t

them to do whatever I have been doing. Until then, they are going to be without my direct

guidance. Would you rather be under my direct guidance or would you like to be left alone without

my being with you? If I am going to go back to Korea, there are many people whom I am going

to take with me. If the mobile teams members from the european nations would like to go

with me, I may be taking them - some of them at least. In that case, the Korean members must

be ready to receive them. Due to the circumstances surrounding you, you must be prepared.

The reason for my saying this to you is to awaken you people of the U. S., to warn you

not to lose your blessing. Some of you are thinking of getting blessed around Parent’s Day.

But I cannot do that at this time. To bless several persons is not the problem. I cannot

remain sympathetic with individuals, but with the whole world. When I last blessed the

members, you should have been to that standard at that time. I don’t bless people every

year. We are in the front of the battlefield. We have no time for anything else. I want you

to be really obedient, humble and sacrificial in this final war. That’s why we are assembled

here. But we are not going to stay in the U. S. forever. For you, this period is most important

amd if you fail to have something to do with me, to be remembered by me, your fate will be

miserable. I am not going to be always with you, but on the spiritual level, if you have attained

a certain amount of thngs you are always remembered.

I have brought so many from other nations, and what am I going to do here with those

people moved over? I don’t want to sacrifice. What I want is to gain something out of the

people. With the cooperation of those people, I know we can attain things of higher level

The Assembled People

things of more val ue. When we want to have something more valueable, we want to

leave everything else. We are changing every moment; we are changing to the good, to the

better, so don’t complain about changing every moment. As to how many hours we should

be working in a day, I have no limit. Even 24 hours will not be enough. Every time when I

go to bed I apologize before God that I have to sleep for energy to be used the following day.

I would fall asleep while praying, and when I jump up from bed the following day, I still

have to apologize before God. I know too well that God was not resting while I slept. On

the battlefield you have no time to sleep, and don’t complain that Master is putting you to

work without you having faull sleep.

I have the experience of having spoken 10 hours in succession, even in the U. S. In that case

the audience who are sitting on comfortable chairs have fatigue and irritation expressed on

their faces. People are just the same everywhere. If you are really absorbed in the talk,

and if you really realize that he is going this for your sake, you must be receptive. You

must be like that, I have the record of having spoken 13 hours ;in succession. When you are

going to be leaders, you must be like that. Having spoken 13 or more hours, don’t you imagine my

legs are stiffened, swollen? That’s no problem to me. Sometkfimes I feel my legs are

paralyzed, numbed. It’s a battle to me. After giving lectures 2 or 3 hours, you say you

feel tired. That;s just nothing to my standard. Once you are on the platform talking with the

people, you must be absorbed in what you are doing. So intoxicated that you forget the passing

of time, and you must perspire in high zeal. You must inherit what I have done, and this is the

tradition set before you.

You are going to set the tradition before your descendants. You are assembled here for

training, and after having gone through the training, you must be a different person. While in

Washington, I heard Neil Salonen oonfess to me: “You were right Master, if I go on perservering,

The Assembled People

doing more than the members, sleeping less, eating more humble food, they will follow

me and I am qualified in that way to be the leader.” He found things were going on in

better ways in proportion to the time he would devote to the members. If he would sleep

two hours less than the members, the work would advance, and he would gain confidence

and respect from the members. He would try being more harsh on himself, and when

he would sit up the whole night talking to the people and planning things for the next day,

he found it very successful. From that we can come to the conclusion that sacrifice alone

can make you a success.

I am a busy man always. When I was meeting with the senators and congressmen I

regreted very much that I had to use the interpreter. I would say to myself, “If I can speak directl

to them, I can persuade them.” From my early days I knew that this kind of thing was going

to happen. But I had no time to study the language, because I have always been busy. Before

the problems of life or death, and when I had been so very serious about so many questions

and problems, I could not afford to study the language. I think I have a good brain. When

I was in the 6th grade in primary school I have the record of memorizing 180 pages of

a book in one night. My memory is good. Once I concentrate, I can remember every bit

of things written in the book. But nothing like language study is of such value that I would

concentrate on that one thing alone. You can freely speak the language, so I must use you.

If you are going to be used by me, you must want to be used to the full extent. If I am going

to use you during the night time, would you be reluctant? Day and night I would do the same.

We are assembled here for that purpose. Don’t ever think that you came on your own

will. There have been guiding hands which have led you here your ancestry and all those

spirit world, including God, have wanted you to come here and have led you here. Your

The Assembled People

ancestry and future descendants expect much of you. You must remember that, and try

to carry out your mission here. You want to have things under your possession, but in order

to save things for your descendants, ancestry and people of the world, you must work

harder thane you are doing now. If I am going to work easily, I can do a certain portion for

myself, but there can be nothing left to be given to other people.

We know that all through human history so many people have been accusing Adam and

Eve because of their fall. Now you are the new ancestors to the future generations.

Would you want to be ancestors to your future generations whom they can accuse? (No!)

If Adam and Eve had not fallen and had been so sacrificial for the later generations as to

obey God and carry out their part of the mission, they could not have been accused by later

gene ations. Likewise, you must not fail in carrying out your mission. You must always

remember that you are representing three generations. So, the whole spirit world will

depend on you, “Your ancestry depends on you. The spirit world representing your parents would

join here and rely on you, and your future generations will rely on you. You are bringing

those to lead then to the new world. You are with a mission of such greatness.
