and it isSunday. Tomorrow is the first of October. What you have so
far done in the city of New York will be fruitful tomorrow. According has beenuggefhe control of satanic world. to the Principle up to number 9
Number 10 is always the pea,k~ and when you go beyond that there wi,ll be . I
another epoch. Each of the 3 stages have 3 subdivisions . In Korea, number
9 is thought to be very bad . Number 4 is also among the bad numbers ,
According to the Principle number 4 and number 9 are good ~ In the Principle
number 4 is the formation of four positions which is the basis for anything
to work. It is very important because everything starts on that foundation.
Number 9 is the number 3 multiplied by three, so it includes the whole
thing. But because of the human fall the two very good numbers have
come into satanic control. We must know that satan is always there unless
we have not completed the meaning and significane of number 4 and number
9. This year, 1973 is a historical year in the providence of God. We
are about to cross over the peak - over the boundary. In the political
field, too, the situation in the world is at the peak . Both in the democrati
and communist world - especially in the democratic world the Watergate
problem arising in the U.S. is the peak of problems . And we know that in
the borderline between the Soviet Union and Red China there are some
million military powers mobilized. In the Communist world there is coming
about the rupture of Soviet Union and Red China - they are at war with
each other in a sense. In the democratic world the Watergate problem is
at the peak and in both worlds it is a historical and crucial time. After
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
That’s what is happening in the outside world on the external level. But
in the internal world too - in the religious world - there are many
grave questions arising. People are faced with difficulties to find good
and real religious men and real communists or real democrats. What is the
true something the communist people are trying to find. What is the true
something which the democratic world is trying to find. What is the true
man or something which the religious world is trying to find? That’s
the true men in the best sense. In other words they are trying to find
one, but they cannot find the real man in the communist, democratic or
religious world. But the truth - the standard of truth cannot be two or
more. It must be one! What is the true can apply to any world. What is
true in the U.S. will be true in Korea and in other Oriental countries
too. When what is true comes, what is not true will vanish. Anything less
true will be abolished when the truest one comes. The hope for the true
thing is now come to the end. What does that end mean? It does not mean
the end to everything. We must again say that there must come truth or
the truest being. This thing of truth, or man of truth comes in conformity
with beginning and end. Centered on a good man we find that this body and
mind are in conformity with each other. In that case we can call him a
good or righteous man. This man started at the point of righteousness and
will end up at the point of righteousness. So all through human history
the beginning and end will be the same. But when we talk about a true man
we know that he is not in a subjective position, that he is the cause, but
he is the resultant being.The cause is somewhere else. But we don’t know
the cause ourselves or the motivating power that brought us about. We
don’t know ourselves,too, as resultant beings, so we cannot be true men.
But we know only too well that we must have come from a cause. That there
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
is a cause of our life. If the cause being is not the truest one, then
the resultant being cannot be the truest being, nor can it be restored into
the truest one. Though we may not look or be true, the very cause of our
life must a righteous and truest one. There is no doubt such a one causing
the truest being to be - and we call Him God. Truth is eternal, unchangeable,
and it must be unique. Then the causal being must be also unique, unchangeab:
and eternal. We call Him God. We are the resultant being created by
the great cause, and we must come in accordance with His truth. Or else
we can assume that something must have happened to us. We must be able to
grasp the picture of what God is like in order for us to be restored to the
original position of resembling God.When you look at the trees they have
different kinds of leaves. What is the cause of the trees? Before God,
what is the cause or the beginning of the trees? Seeds. Then we can safely
say that in the seed itself there are root, branches and the tree itself
or the elements of those. What will become of the seed in the end? It
will result again in more seeds. It will begin from the seed and end up
in the seed. The cause is seed and the result is seed. The very root, trunk
branches and leaves - those are the things in the process of making the
seeds. They are a system to make the seeds. All those things: trunks,
branches, leaves are like the process of history to reach the end to be
fruitful again. What began in God as the seed must end up in seed. When
you closely watch a seed, you find there are two parts included in one
skin. That is something like God in whom the two essentialities are in
existence. In one God there are two values. It is something like God is
planted and the result is the same as Himself. The seed, when it sprouts
out to be a tree there comes about a trunk and all those things, but they
play the role of male and female too. Like in the case of men when they
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73 maturity will be were created were male and female. That male and female being after/united
into one. They’ll become one with each other in the skin of love. Then they
resemble God and God is the cause of that being, which comes in resemblance
of God. He, as the subject, will perform the action of give and take with
those in the objective position. It means only when the male and female
are in oneness alone can God operate. In a man himself, there are two parts:
right and left. When a child comes into existence in a mother’s womb,
two parts are being formed and then united into one. So, in us as a single
man, there are two parts in unity. If those two parts are united into one
in harmony alone we can call him or her beautiful or handsome. So, in a
family, in a couple, if a husband and wife are entirely one with each
other, then the family is beautiful in God’s sight. When we talk about man
male and female are both always included. We call man, but man is not male
being alone but female being together we call man. How many are there?
How man kinds? (Two) Up to the present moment, when we talked about man
you, individually, have thought of single persons. But no. That has been
the concept of the people in general. More than women we have been stressing
on men. That, alone, is good proof that there has never been a single
perfect man (meaning humanity). Woman was created in the image of man. Then
if there is no perfect man, can there be any perfect woman? If there is a
being which is the cause to everybody, He must be looking for a true man.
If it is not true, we cannot but deny God.In that sense we know that God
has been looking for a true and perfect man all throughout history. The
man of perfect standard and conviction is the man we call the Messiah. Why
do we need a Messiah. It is because man fell and we are in need of a savior
who is the Messiah. So this means that the Messiah should come in place of
Adam in perfection.If the man in perfection comes, you must be like branches
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
and be engrafted to the main tree. He comes as the pattern of perfect man,
and he builds his own family with his own bride, centering on his family
as a pattern, others families will be there. Then according to that
standard, our families will resemble them. Then, alone, we can become ideal
men. The”ideal” cannot be talked about of any individual by himself.
If you are all alone in the whole world can you say that you are an ideal
person? You cannot exercize your idealism and more than anything else, as
a man you need a woman. However ideal you may think, the females need men.
No one can deny that. Then we can say that ideal comes not from us but
from the objective person. The same thing applies to God. God is there all
alone by Himself, no ideal can come about. He, too, needs someone in the
objective position. When we talk about God’s ideal, that must be realized
through the objective person. Then we are privileged to think that without
us God cannot do anything - He cannot realize His ideal . So there is the
value of our being. Even though I am an ugly person, God needs me - without
me God cannot do anything. You can be confident. This is the value of
humanity in the truest of sense. With God as the ultimate subject, we are
all in the position of the object. This absolute God needs us in the objecti~
position, so we are absolute too. Without us, He cannot do anything.God
is eternal and we are eternal too. It is natural logic and we know that
we cn live through eternity on the spiritual level. Some here may think
it’s strange that Master began to talk about the number 4 and number 9 and
came to say that we are in the objective position and God needs us, I am
telling you that we are in the last days now and that what is lost in the reaped beginning must be found or repeated in the end. God needs us now.
We are now in the month of September. Parabolically speaking, history began
in the Spring and the seed would grow and there have been many difficulties
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
and then we - the seeds multiplied are coming into harvest time. We don’t
mind if the leaves are all gone, but the fruits are what we need. When
the true seed…(change tape) all the fruit will fall and maybe it may
tumble and tread down upon (be), but unless the flesh part is corrupted
it cannot be planted and multipled. The pine seeds will fall down, but would
it be better for it to fall down and remain where it is fallen, or tumble
around and scattered out? (Scattered!) We must kick at it - for instance
chestnuts - we must tread down upon them and throw them as far as we
can so that we can spread the seeds. These seeds bearing their own life,
will be trodden down upon and many bad thingswill happen to it, but it will
still bear life. It will accept and welcome all those difficulties.When
winter comes the hard shell will begin to open and crack out. The crack
comes because it was sort of swollen big during the summer months and then
it becomes to shrink. In doing that it cracks open. So, does the seed need
winter or not? (Yes!) Does it need to be trodden upon? (YES!) In any time
in human history, when the revolution was needed, that kind of thing
happened. Satan is used to crack open the seed to be planted and multipled.
The seed which can survive the difficulties alone can become fruit. If
you were one of the seeds, would you like to be planted in one place where
all the rest of the seeds are crowded, or be scattered to great distances?
(Scattered!) However poor you may be as a seed, if it is crowded then
Master must weed out the poor ones because there must grow one wholesome
and healthy. So you must want to be thrown far away or kicked far away.
Are you good seeds and do you want to be good seeds? (Yes!) Have you already
become good seeds? Are you on the way. Going through training, you will
become good seeds. To those who have reached a certain standard I will be
harsh and a little later I will drive you out far away. Those who think
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
they are not needed in the providence of God, hold up your hands. If you
are resolved not to be changed - not to change our minds in the will of
God, hold up your hands. If you are that kind it means that you are the
fruit with life in you. But if you are not confident you are the lifeless
seeds which comes into shrunk form. You will find skinny chestnuts without
life. Unless you will never change even under the wind or under any
difficulties you cannot say that you bear life in you. If you cling to the
branch of the tree until you are ripened, then you will bear life. Even
during the summer months there will be stormy weather, so you must cling
to the tree until you get ripe. If you have the will - that seed of yours
has the will and just cling to the branch very unwillingly, then you are
apt to be blown away. You must be despearte to cling to the branch. Are
there any such persons who are apt to fall away, because you cling to the
branch unwillingly or reluctantly? In this fallen world in the latter days
both in the democratic and communist world - even in the relgious world
unity cannot come about. The people have tested the possible ways and failed
to effect unity. We are a group who is going to be the true fruit of God -
which God would need in the latter days.When a seed is going to be planted
does it have to be in a very dirty place or very clean place. The dirt will
become the fertilizer. If God was the master of the seed, where would He
plant you? (In the dirtiest place!) If any one of you is the truest and
most precious seed, He will plant you in the dirtiest place. Isn’t it true?
(Yes!) Where is the dirtiest place in the world? (New York!) It was wonder-
ful of Master to have chosen the city of New York! (applause) an the
dirtiest place there are many hardships and persecutions coming to you.
You must survive all those because you bear true life. How wonderful
it must be when you sprout out to see the sun and the stem part of you
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
comes out. Then the one who pinted - God will watch over you with full
enthusiasm and care. You have already been planted and you are going through in the satanic world going through number 9 and/entering number 10 - the first of October.
Your endeavor will be fruitful. You will see your work. Tomorrow you will
see the new world. Today you are situated in the last day of the ninth
month entering into the tenth. You will see the new world coming about.
Whe a seed is planted you must pound on the soil. If we do care for the it seed and just hate to plant on it and step on it, will not grow. All through
30 days you have been trodden upon and pounded upon, but what do you find?
Has it been a good way to do or a bad way? (good!) I scattered you all
over the city. I would tell you if possible don’t go two by two - by go
by yourself. This is the worst and most satanic city. Here I scattered
my seeds all over the city and you have been bearing the life power and
come out and see the whole world. You would cling to the people - you would
want to chase them and when they escape try to escape from you. Up to the
present, righteous men have been chased by satanic people, but now righteous
people are chasing after the evil ones. If we become a little stronger,
then our power cannot be resisted by the opposite powers. Then the enemy
will escape and we can occupy the whole city without fighting. We will
keep on doing this until we occupy the whole city. On the way you must eithe]
fight on, escape from it or die. You cannot die, I know! It’s a shame for
you to escape. More than anything else you have no place to escape. So
you will cling to me and just do anything with me. We must do that out of
our will - not forced or compelled. Are you confident. (Yes!) What if
this war would not end even in 10 years? 100 years? (Go on!) Then you
will say if possible I will shorten the period and make it realized within
10 years. ouldn’t you do that? (Yesl) You have only one life to live and
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73 do s job why not do it within 10 years or die. So when you are°aoingethi°
less then 10 years time, even though you might have to be disabled. One
eye might be plucked out. Suppose we open - we hold a citizens’ rally in
a big square in New York City and demonstrate how loyal we are for God’s
cause. We are going to donate one eye each - we will put our eyeballs
into the donation box. People will be appaled and frightened. They will
either escape or join us. Then unconditional occupation will come about.
We can occupy the whole city without having to witness to 10 people or more.
That’s true. Are you ready for that? Can you pluck out one eye for that?
to restore the whole city for that. If you are ready, hold up your hands.
Is it true? Why don’t we that right now.Wait a little longer. That is the
only secret to occupy the satanic city. It’s very simple. You e afraid
of gangsters, but that is nothing to be afraid of. A little longer I will
train you into such a person that in a second you can do away with any
evil spirit. Praying will be needed there. We must be a strong physical
too. In order for our life not to be invaded or us victimized, we must be
strong. We must be wholesome and healthy both on the internal and external
levels. In that way we are going to be used by God’s hands. That is our
desire.There is a reason for my having to say this to you, because you
are apt to be lax and after the third day you might say “the work is finishec
That is the very moment when Satan can come. You must struggle harder - even
harder than this - after our campaign this time and you must expand New
York City’s project. I want to put you in more difficulties and hardships
to expand our movement in the city. Will you do that? (Yes!) You have
been selling 5 tickets, but these few days you must sell more and more.
After this you will do some works harder than selling tickets. Are you
ready for that? (Yes!) I am not forcing you to, but if you are ready to
you must do that.Since we are in the battlefield, why not fight and win the
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
victory in the soonest possible date? Would you want that? (Yes!) This
year I will speak in Carnegie Hall, but for next year what place would you
choose? (Madison Suare Garden) Would you prefer better and more difficult
work? (More difficult!) You are almost exhausted after this battle and
your eyes are deep and drawn back. But next time, when you work harder,
your eyes may be drawn like… Would that be all right? (Yes!) If you
want that, then I willhave you do that. I will close my eyes, so those
who are prepared to do that will you hold up your hands. I didn’t see you,
God did. Then what must I do on my part. I must be ev rn more harsh to
drive you on the way. If I am sympathic with you telling you not to work
too hard will it come true? Then you are all ready to do that. If you
want, I will let you do that.So far we have been feeding you 3 meals,
though they may have been humble, but at that time we will have no time
to lose and we will have only one meal. Would that be all right? (Yes!)
What if you have to go without meals? (Yes!) You are all trained to fast
one week. But if that happens, on the third day you can be sure you’ll eat
something. - on the eighth day. If you are ready for that our fight is
al most like having already won the victory. If you are that ready, the spiry
world will be mobilized to help you. When the strongest in the spirit side
want to help us, they want us to be on that level. Or else God will not
send the strongest to help us out. Even the President of the nation, when
he looks for the men to help him, doesn’t he look for the strongest and
mos efficient men? We will crack open the city of New York to be the new
world where we find only beautiful people - rightoues and wholesome. Shall
we do that? (YES!) I have already instructed them to rent Madison Square
Garden for next years’ speech. More than apTause coming from you, I need
your determination welling up from the bottom of your “belly”! Are
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
you determined? (Yes!) Your answer does not convince me as it now is.
Are ou really confident?Then you must calculate, how many times more must
you fight harder. You must fight more than 10 times as hard as
The New -t Moon rented AliceTully Hall at Lincolnenter l r .
which accommodates only 1,000 people and only a few hundred people
assembled. Now he is going to speak in Carnegie Hall. Can they fill up
the place. After that the rumor will spread that he is going to speak in
Mdison Square Garden and they will be frightened and skeptical. He may
be insane to say so - that he can fill up the hall. Wouldn’t they think
that way? YES!) It is solely in your hands whether or not their skepticism
will prove true or prove false. Are you confident? (YES!) In selling ticket
for next years’ speech, you must not only sell tickets you must sell you
eyes, nose, mouth and limbs and sell your whole self. If you have to sell
20 times as many tickets as this year it means with one hand you sell a
ticket to this person and with the other reach out to another and with your
eyes you must motion the third man to come. If you are ready for that, our
project will be successful. There will be nothing like dignity. If you are
going to be hurt, injured or if anything is going to happen to you… before greeting him you must set forth Your old friends and teachers and etc.the tickets. If you feel shameful,
you must not look at their face, but just sell the tickets. You must
begin to plow right now after this project and you must get to know many
eople and come on good terms with your relatives and friends and your own
family. You must remember we have made up our minds to do that. Isn’t that
true? Some of the German members will go back to their own country. After
the third day of my speech, I will decide on what to do for New York City.
We are going to make four centers in New York City - with 50 members each.
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
These 50 members must multiply to be 500 - one person per day each.
New York members please stand up. Are you confident to do that? (YES!)
I will bring more members from the European countries and from Japan.
They will arrive by the fourth. The seating capacity of Madison Square
Garden is 70,000. So, all through 3 days we have to sell 210,000 tickets
if we are going to sell 3 x as many as the capacity. Are you confident?
If we calculate the population of New York City 8 million, that means we
have to sell one ticket to 38 persons - which excludes children - we have
to sell tickets for everyone. Is this easy or not? (Easy!) Easy? (Yes!)
Then shall we do that? (YES!!) If you are successful in filling up the
hall and I give a poor speech, you will try to kill me. Then will you
excuse me in that case? (No!) If that happens, will you really not excuse
him? Will you excuse me or not? (YES!) If you will excuse me, it means
we have to have the fourth speech tour. You must excuse me at least 3 times
then it means I have to have the fourth one. Are you going to be that
generous as to forgive me 3 times. Yes!) Then will the fourth speech be
within a year or even earlier? (Earlier!) In that case I am in the most
wretched position and I will try my desperate best not to fail. It’s
something like a golfer to hit the ball to go into the ball which cannot
be seen by him. This golfer is not a trained golfer either. Do you see any
possibility of his winning the game? (Yes!) Can you answer yes? I know my-
self but do you know? (We are confident that you will give the greatest
speech!) What if I am all scattered and scared and cannot utter even a
word? Who kows, there will gather so many types of people - some will out
of just curiosity and some will come with skeptical eyes and some would
come even with pistols to shoot at me. Then I will tremble won’t I. (No!)
What I am most fearful of is your discontentment. So, if you are ready to
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
forgive me, I will be reassured and give a good speech. (YES!) (applause)
If you sell a ticket at the price of $3.00 then it will be 700,000 dollars.
Then we don’t have to use any money from our own pockets. We can do that
without using even a penny. Strong determination and confidence is the only
problem. With those, we will do anything. You must have iron club set in
your minds - solid determination. Then you will win the goal. Can you do
that? All the rest is already solved. I feel that God is overjoyed at us.
He must be proud of you and will say to Satan - here are my proud sons
and daughters. In a sense it is natural for you as His proud sons and
daughters to do that much. You must feel as though you can push the Empire
State building and it will collapse. You have that kind of iron detrmination,
With you will hit the persons and hit anything and it will fall down.
That kind of feeling you must have. But don’t be as foolish as really to
hit the Empire State building unless you are sure that God is working with
you. So, we are determined to do the project for next year! The time is
not always here. So, within 3 years’ time we must occupy this city and lay
the foundation to occupy the whole world - or else we cannot be proud of
ourselves to be the sons and daughters and to be the winners of the arenas
of the democratic, communist and religious worlds.Originally I planned to
give the speech in 70 cities next year. But since we are going to rent such
a big place in New York, it can be reduced to 7 great cities instead. Would
you want me to choose only 7 instead of 70? (Yes!) Tomorrow will be the
starting point of our great mission this year. The result of this years’
project will determine whether or not I will choose more cities or just 7
cities, starting from Madison Square Garden. Let’s go back to the main point
God is trying to find true persons. The true one mus be like the true seed
bearing life. It must be planted and trodden upon and we must prefer the
New York Holy Ground 9/30/73
dirtiest and prefer the farthest possible place to be planted. What is
planted here cannot be reaped - that is what we plant in our world cannot
be reaped in this world. But in the outside world - in the satanic world.
You have seen pine cones with nuts. If the nuts must come out of the shells
to be scattered. If you are really ripe bearing life, then you must be
scattered and play the role of Master himself. He will not always be with
you, but on the individual base you must be spread outto the world to be
planted and nourished and grow. Even though yu are situated in the tip
of Africa - or anywhere - you must bear the essentiality or characteristics
of the Divine Principle seed If we are scattered to the extrmity to
extremity, those in between will be included in the soonest possible date.
If you are ready to be scattered and bear your own life and multiply, hold
up your hands.
