President Nixon Meeting Father.

Speech by Colonel Pak at Rowlane Farmhouse. 2nd February 1974.

First of all, more than anything else, I am very happy to reveal the great victory and the great news to you all. Yesterday, Father departed from America to Europe with the greatest victory. That is, the President of the United States of America, Richard Nixon, invited Father to the Presidential Oval Office in the White House, and two great leaders embraced each other. Father represents Heaven. The President of the United States represents Earth. Heaven and Earth joined together in this fashion. ot only once, but twice. We do not know, really, how great this historical impact is. I was there. I was greatly honoured to escort the Father, there at the Oval Office. But even I really do not know what great historic things really happened. The future can only tell. Don’t you think? Just think of it this way. Two thousand years ago Jesus Christ came upon the earth, in Israel. At that time the big nation, known as the ‘hub of the world’, was the Roman Empire, centred on Rome. Can you imagine Jesus going up to Rome, red carpet treatment? Emperor’s special assistant comes down, leading the way to the steps. Then finally, suppose you imagine, Jesus is now in the office of the Emperor and there two men, one from Heaven, one from Earth, one with the power of God, one with the power of the Earth, embrace together and become one? Can you think of it? Two thousand years ago Jesus Christ did not come even near to Rome, did not take even one step out of the country. However, Jesus and his own people met the Roman Governor. Pontius Pilate endured with them. But this law official, compared to the Emperor, is nothing, a load of minor potato really. But there Jesus was tried whether guilty or innocent. He was tried as a criminal, a sinner, though his own people were there, the elders, the chief priests, scribes, everybody brought before him. Pontius Pilate, seeing the goodness in the heart of Jesus Christ, really did not want to kill him. The Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, said , “I do not find any fault in him. Take him away! I do not want him. Judge him? I am not in a position to judge him.” Then his own people, Israeli people, went down and shouted, “ CRUCIFY HIM! CRUCIFY HIM!” This was the treatment Jesus Christ received two thousand years ago. Now, at the moment I talk, can you see how God has worked so hard for two thousand years not to repeat the same crime of the time of Jesus Christ. First of all, God prepared America. America is truly a Godly nation. In this respect, God worked so hard to create a Democracy. Actually, Democracy is the base of our operations. Democracy was solely created for the Unification Church. Would you believe it? Democracy has guaranteed us freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of organisation, freedom of worship. Beautiful! tse.m111 · ul! These are the essential weapons that the disciples of Jesus Christ needed at that time. IHnW’P’n-r. there were none of these freedoms in those days. Particularly with Church and State ul’!~..irie:r-. ‘hy did God separate the Church and the State? Only so that the Unification Church can the Oiurch and the State are not separated, because this light and corrupt church exercises po er judicious power, forever power, we have no chance to win. Separate! Beautiful! fo the work of God. Democracy blossomed in America, and here in a Democratic · freedom was guaranteed. er ground, our Unification Church members worked so hard, day in and day out, ha beautiful strategy, you know, there is always the main 95%. Unless Father i - -. .U”.m•• strategy this would never have come true. Then the historical day has come.

- , Father was escorted into the White House. He was met by the representative at

the gate and escorted to the West Wing, Oval Office. Here all the big people come and go. We even met Dr. Kissinger there. Then the personal secretary escorted the Father in and President Nixon, walking out of his desk at the door, met him. One moment in history, two most significant men met and shook hands. This was truly an historical moment, historical moment. The President was so shining and white, and then he escorted Father into his office. There was a flag. There was the flag of the army, the flag of the navy, the flag of all the entire armed forces, U.S. flag and so forth, the Presidential flag. He was Commander-in-Chief, and he escorted him there and there they shook hands once again. There was a White House photographer there. Then this time the two men lined up side by side and another photograph was taken. Then I was invited. I was there. President Nixon with Father and I completely surrounding him. President Nixon was completely surrounded by us, by Heavenly power. Then President Nixon invited Father to a special chair. He was sitting in his desk, not in an armchair. The honourable person was ready to listen to advice. This was the kind of atmosphere. ‘I need your advice.’ This was the type of atmosphere. Father was treated to a special chair. He was almost ready to make a note and I was sitting right next to Father. There was an assistant, another person of our group. So four people were there, and you know history was made once again. You know what Father did first when we had all sat down? Father said, “Every thing happened in the will of God. Therefore, we must thank Him for everything first. I believe in God, believe in the power of prayer. LET US PRAY!’ He commanded, beautifully; he commanded the President to pray and Father showed an example how to pray. Deeply silent for 20-30 seconds. Father, in his almost pouring heart, almost in tears now, he began to pray the most beautiful prayer in history, in Korean. I am sure President Nixon did not hear each word Father spoke, but I am sure he knows more than enough about the spirit that was there. “What extraordinary man has come to my office and has commanded me to pray, setting an example?” I think this is the first time in history that the office of the President has ever had anything like this in the entire two hundred years of merican history. Don’t you think? I do not think anybody has done this. Everybody going there is so busy, busy to talk to the President, busy to ask him something, a favour, asking him to listen to your own thing. As soon as they get in there they start talking about this, that and the other. But Father dedicated this hour, not to President Nixon, not for any other purpose but for God. He dedicated that meeting for God. I am not going into everything that President Nixon talked about and what Father spoke because there were some important matters and it is so much to reveal. Yet I could say this, that President Nixon believed in him. Father speaks about America, the American President, and why the • Unification Church began to pray and fast for the President of the United States, not only in

- I America but also in Japan, in Korea, all over the world. Particularly Father said, “This morning at five o’clock February the first, I was here in the White House ground.” There was a garden behind the White House. There was a Holy Ground. “I prayed for thi~ nation at five o’clock.’’ By this time I can see President Nixon cannot speak. His mouth is numb , like this. His eyes are melting in tears. I felt, in his heart, he was weeping. President · Nixon read the Watergate Declaration, discovered the Watergate Declaration, not by means of his aids, but it was discovered by himself at the breakfast table and he was so surprised to · see the Watergate Declaration. According to his aids he completely forgot to eat, given up his breakfast, he literally cri~d in tears, “Do you know about this? Do you know about this?” But Father did not inf9nn them, because Father said, “Do not tell the White House wha_t we do, because we are doing it for the will of God. We want to serve God, not the White House. Don’t even tell them.” So we did not even tell them and they saw it i,n the ‘Washington Post’ and the ‘New York Times’. They had never heard about this movement. They had never heard about the National Prayer and Fast. President Nixon said that that fime he was deeply touched and it was at the worst time for President Nixon’s political career, “November 30th,1973. I am sure if there were no aids, no other

person there, only President Nixon and Father sitting there, in that case I am sure President Nixon would have stood up and embraced once again. This was on February 1st. The previous day was January 31st. The previous day was January 30th. During these three days, January 30th, January 31st and February 1st, really important history was made in America. The three days were like a special three day period in the Divine Principle, in the time period where the resurrection comes. After three days there was the resurrection of Jesus. January 30th,1974 was the date for President Nixon to deliver a State of Union message at the Congress. So 1,500 of our brothers and sisters, including our European brothers and sisters, from all over the country encircled the Capitol Hill and we had such a beautiful demonstration and prayer in support of the President. But our support of the President, I want you to clearly understand this, is not any political support. Even here in Europe it is very sensitive. I want you to know the spirit behind it. It is not a political campaign. It is a campaign for God. Sometimes the newspaper said that Reverend Moon’s group is a pro-Nixon group and Father a couple of times has said, “How could I be pro-Nixon? I am not interested in a party. I am not interested in the President. I am not interested in any office or political gain. I am only interested in God. Therefore this is a pro-God movement, pro-God movement. I want you to remember this. I want to say this. Our movement is not a pro-Nixon movement. It is a pro-God movement. “At the close junction of human history, God commanded us to ‘Forgive. Love. Unite.’ and God commanded us to demonstrate this Spirit of Christianity so that this is the only healing power of our wounds. This is our movement, pro-God movement.” Therefore, our demonstration is different, different from any other demonstration, because our demonstration is for Prayer. On the 21st December •e met on Capitol Hill on a rainy day .• ore than one thousand brothers and sisters gathered together for prayer, national prayer. Really this was the movement of prayer and fast. So on this day the 30th, ·ith President 1 ixon delivering the speech inside, our brothers and sisters were outside really praying and Father was listening to President ixon’s words, every word , on television. So this first day is something like the meeting of the two great leaders in symbolic way. It is almost equivalent to the Old Testament in that we meet God in symbolic way, not really knowing who he is, not really knowing He is our Father and so forth. But symbolically we meet God. This is something like symbolic union, because two leaders meet each other through the television tube, with our members, our brothers and sisters, surrounding the Capitol. This was the day of January 30th, 1973. The very next day Father met the President. This was the 31st, not yesterday. There was a National Prayer Breakfast Banquet. About three thousand leaders of Christianity gathered together from all over the world in Washington to pray. This was an annual customary event and President ixon was the guest speaker. Father was invited to that meeting. So President Nixon knew that Reverend Sun Myung Moon, Mrs. Sun Myung Moon and his party were there, because of all the reporters. In America, don’t you think this is wonderful. Whenever prayer is mentioned they always mention Reverend Sun Myung Moon. Without exception, there is always the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. Three thousand people, many distinguished people from all over the world, Ambassadors, Congres.gnen, ministers, Prime Ministers, everybody, came from all over the world . About one hundred and fifty came. But in a newspaper no other name was mentioned except the Reverend Sun fyung Moon. There Father sat at the table, with President Nixon standing at the podium. So there two leaders met ph “cally but still with a distance. This is equivalent to New Testament, because in the New Testament we know that God is our Father but we are not sure, still distant. Isn’t that right? It is almo ch a beautiful analogy. We meet physically face to face but still with a distance, not sure. This the second day. On the third day, it is equivalent to the Complete Testament. This is equivalent to the time and era of the Divine Principle. ow physically this time the realisation of that first night took place,

when the two leaders as I described, not only meet but embrace in one and Heaven and Earth became one. So the three days history is almost like the sharp repetition of the entire Biblical history of Old Testament era, New Testament era and Completed Testament era. This was the meeting between what is the physical champion of God and the champion of earth, between two Super, Super actors, acting out a role for God. This was a great day. Another great hand for Father. The second day when the prayer breakfast was being conducted at the Hilton Hotel, our young members, our brothers and sisters, gathered together around the White House Lafayette Park. When our Father was in the White House I joked to the special assistant at the White House, “Now they issue the demonstration permit or assembly permit at Lafayette Park anytime. They say, ‘Unification Church. Oh, Unification Church! Are you from the Unification Church?’ BAM! Sometimes we go over with the paper and even before we submit the paper, ‘You want to demonstrate again?’ BAM!” So I say to the White House aids, “The Lafayette Park, you own half, we own half, fifty-fifty. You know it is almost our park.” Lafayette in a way is very intersting to you. The Lafayette is your park, is a European park. Why? It is named after a great French general, Lafayette, who came to America to assist in the Independence. So it is very historically symbolic. You see, the European brothers and sisters and Japanese brothers and sisters now at the age of two hundred years of American history have come there to Lafayette. The spirit of Lafayette, there must be a greater spirit than the spirit of Lafayette, since we are helping America. When the President’s party, the breakfast meeting, was over, we went into the White House. Everybody saw our young people cheering. Then soon the President had another engagement. Then Tricia, the first daughter of the President, and her husband, Edward Cox, came out from the White House and mingled with our young people, shaking hands with every one of them. There were newspaper men, camera men and a television crew there. Everybody, the entire nation, knows about us. Look at it! It is very difficult to make anything the front page picture, it is top treatment. Unless you have something very important politically, socially whatever and can make a worldwide impact, they do not put the picture on the front page. This is top Washington Sun News. Here, Tricia Nixon is meeting our beautiful members at the flags, in the front page and it says, “Edward and Tricia Cox meet chanting, flag-waving followers of the Evangelist Sun Myung Moon.” Always Sun Myung Moon. This is important. People are now printing and publishing our Father’s name in the front page of the newspapers. Front page! It then said , “The Evangelist Sun Myung , oon in Lafayette Park, story on page 8.” They indicate where the story is. Then it says, • “Edward and Tricia mingle with eight hundred Nixon well-wishers.” Top headline all about us. Then underneath there is a picture of President Nixon, Tricia Cox, I Mrs. Nixon, and Billy Graham. So everything ties together. This shows we are now elevated to the

• prominence of the national press in America. Everybody knew, everybody knew in America, fantastically every single one knew, “Who is Reverend Sun Myung Moon.” There was another occasion that our efforts made front page news. That is the Washington Sun News in Washington D.C. on Friday January 25th, 1974. This was a great big picture that a demonstration was held in Japan and appeared in all the major newspapers in America. Front page! American flag, Japanese flag, it is symbolic. America and Japan fought in World War II. Now the Japanese people, young people are carrying American flag and Japanese flag side by side. They are really praying for America, under the leadership of Reverend Sun Myung Moon, and front picture of the Washington Sun Post carries the news, on the front page. This is the kind of treatment we are getting. Father, I understand, entrusted you to have one prayer meeting and march, one prayer meeting and demonstration tomorrow for the Watergate Affair in the spirit of Reverend Sun Myung Moon and in London here you are going to ~o it. I hope, I am sure that you are determined to make a grand show. Thank you. So Japanese brothers and sisters did that. So European brothers and sisters you must do a little better. Right! Much

better! Alright we will see. We will see what happens tomorrow. It is a prayer meeting. I must emphasize it is not a political meeting, but a prayer meeting, lots of spirit, lots of discipline and lots of chanting. ow I will show you one example of a San Francisco Chronicle, most important newspaper in the West. When the 1972 tour was conducted, we worked so hard but the San Francisco Chronicle gave us one paragraph, small paragraph, of news about Reverend Sun Myung Moon, very small. But this time when Father brought our crusade to San Francisco, you know what the San Francisco Chronicle did? I will show you. ENTIRE PAGE! Really beautiful! Father in this picture, you will la er, if you look a little closely, Father has a finger, one finger, like this. It is ready to explode no . Beautiful picture! Furthermore the headline is so beautiful. I just fell in love with this headline. RE D MOON COSMIC TRUTH” rutb! This headline said, “I LOVE EACH ONE OF YOU”. You see, American people strong feeling when somebody says, “I love each one of you dearly. God loves you and I

eauntutl! Oh, it· so beautiful! . picture from the poster and the big sign was “NEW HOPE FOR AMERICA.” F ther is a ew Hope for America. It is beautiful! Then smiling, happy here and she was very, very happy. This is the entire clippings all over h in America. It is so much it is simply impossible to see every one ch type and this is on the Day of Hope Tour, every city. I am sure quarters are sending all the clippings to you so that I am sure you this · eri This is the t)’Ee of coverage in four months. Think

of it. Each article went into millions of homes among Americans. The major newspapers published many millions of copies in America. This is what is happening in America. We are truly shaking the world. We are the invincible army. I want to conclude. In the glory to the Father and the True Parents I want to conclude my report by saying, “You and I have gathered together as an invincible army. We do not have weapons. We do not have guns. We do not have knives. We do not need them. Our hands are bare. However, this is an army invincible in history. Nobody can defeat this army. Do you know why? Because we are armed with love and truth of God first. Second, we are committed unto our life. , othing will stop us. Nothing will deter us, even unto death. This was the army of Jesus, who fought under the adverse condition in Rome. Today this army is even stronger, fighting, not in the ad erse conditions of Rome, but in the favourable condition of today’s Rome in America. How can ·e fail? NEVER! We together, united in the spirit of our True Parents, we can win the grea vi ory in America, in Europe, everywhere in the world for the glory of the Father, glory of the True Parents.” Thank you very much.

MASTER SPEAKS February 2nd, 1974 Rowlane Farmhouse

Just like the electricity, the source of power was not there so we could not do anything, nothing moves. By the same token, our source of power comes from the spirit world and once this vertical communication is broken, nothing really happens here on earth. The Unification Church is no exception in that same connection. The Unification Church works like a big electric power plant and God is the source of power. Here on earth we have the True Parents. Father is the source of the power, electricity and light, and each one of you is an outlet line. Each one of you is shining, receiving the power from the source and your individuality, your different characteristics and your size of faith is determining the size of light which is shining in this world. Each electric bulb in the house, all outlets can be replaced, can be changed, but when the source of power is not working, nothing can replace it. So when you see this, from this example, we see that the position of the leader, the responsibility of the leadership position, is that critical and important. So this stoppage of electricity gave me the opportunity to express this. We are living on the face of the earth. Upon this earth we have all the plants, all the animals and all the minerals. Then there was man and man lived on the face of the earth. Then there is a Master who created all these things above us and we call him God. So we have God, man and all things of creation. It is a cosmic principle that we are attracted to someone who loves us. Even animals react in that way. Not only animals, but in a different stage even plants, the grass and trees react to love, although we might not recognise it. When you think of water, let us say “the water” then you feel something refreshing and cold. Without water no life can be sustained on the face of the earth. Two thirds of our body content consists of water and when we say that something is made out of water, people do not feel too good. But on the other hand, when we think of the sun, then we immediately associate our thinking to some warmth or heat. The sun represents heaven and water represents earth. Sun represents warmth, water represents cold and by the harmony of these two elements, the Creator made up the universe. And who is going to harmonise the two? Not cold element, but warm. The warm heat that will bring two elements into one. When you are cold and shivering, freezing, as long as you are freezing, there is no oneness, no melting. In the physical sense all these are true. But in the metaphysical sense or spiritual sense the truth is the same, too. In other words, the harmonising of the spiritual life of men is not done by cool substance. It must be done by warm substance. In our way of life, in our society, what is represented by that warmth? What is warmth? Where is that warmth? That is lo ·e. Love is that warmth. What is cold? Arrogance, arrogance is cool, cold. Therefore, the central and most important element in our life that brings us to harmony, oneness, union is the power of lo e. fiv..e organs, eyes to see, ears to hear, mouth to speak or eat, nose to smell and skin to ese have their specific area of responsibility. your ear, “What would you like to hear without being bored, from eternity

song but song of love. Song of love, never get tired of it.” Eye, what would you like to see without being bored, from eternity to eternity . “Person of lo pe n, your lover. “ You ask: o d yo u like to smell without being bored, from eternity to eternity?’

Your nose will answer, “Atmosphere of love. Atmosphere of love.” Skin and touch work the same. Don’t you agree with me? Then you ask your entire body, “Who would you want to stay with without being bored , from eternity to eternity?” “Your lover. Somebody of love.” In love there is no limit of time, no limit of distance. Also when your ear is pleased because of the song of love, then that particular originator of the song of love is a loving person. In this case, your entire organ is embraced and you would like him, would want to stay with him from eternity to eternity. Sometimes your eye gets hold of a loving person, then your whole body, knowing this sense, all harmonises to obey the order of the eye because eye catches some beautiful loving thing, which the whole body wants to rejoice over. The nose is the same, the mouth is the same and our touch, skin is the same. Do you agree with me? So for you, for all men. hat is most precious and important? I am sure we come to the clear conclusion, that is love, po •er of lo e. Is it true? When we feel that way, that means God must feel that way too and all the rest of the creation must share that same feeling. However, the history, the past in this earth has been covered not by love, but by many tragic and cold things. So then you also know tha things of creation, the plants, animals, the mountains and all the phenonema of the universe “ting eagerly for the appearance of the Master of love, so that they can participate in their e o in subjugation to futility. Then, has there been anyone, so far , to truly pose as the • aster of lo e to all things of creation, anybody whom the whole creation can look up to truly as the _ e ample of love. When you touch the tree, the tree responds to you with love and you o bing in loving heart. You do not feel this in this earth, but in the spiritual sense you e with trees. You can talk to trees then they are better to respond to your love. We ask all things of creation, “Have you met through the cent you met your warmth of love? Have you met your Master of love in this universe?’’ All things of creation will say, “No. We never met who truly loves All things in this universe are anxiously waiting for the appe aster of love, who truly bestows upon them the tender love. All things of creation are wan111r.! e someone who, as the true extent of tender heart, tender hand , expression of love oome a Master. They want to be influenced . They want to become under the domain of though the centre of love was not existing. Because of the fall of man, we have lost the power of commun·1cat:J010 creation. We shall know that all things of creation are waitin.::: fo living in love, extending their love towards all things of creatio na e and all things of creation have been exploited and persecuted by men, ruthl cold men. Though, if the water had freedom of action, I am sure they would have demonstra _ainst men, these cold, ruthless men. “We will not stand these people. No, let’s wipe them out. They would flood the whole world or part of the world. So e must be thankful for the water not revolting against us, even though we are not treating · f · Jy. Every morning you break your bread for breakfast and you are eating your bread without mu h feeling but that bread was in the same position. Suppose we give all these things, vegetables, b ead. ater a mouth so that they could speak out. Then you can hear every day around you all · ds of accusations. But we must realise all things of creation have been waiting, and they are patient. They are still waiting without complaining because power of love is suppressing them. e must also realise how grateful we are for the sunlight and warmth of the sun. Suppose you gave the mout h to the sun or gave the world power to the sun. “So these men never appreciate me. So I want to take a vacation for twenty-four hours.” Then, once the sun takes a vacation, the entire earth will become a freezer. So when we think deeply of all these things, you must be humble yourself and say, “ Sun, I thank you. “ In history there has been much idol-worshipping. Some worship the sun. Some worship the mountain. Some worship the river and seas. But these are in a way humble people. In a way they humble themselves to nature. This . is better than nothing. What is the motivation of this

idol-worshipping? When you search down to the bottom, then you know these motivations come from the source of love. Love, love is the motivation. Why do we believe in God? Because we somehow sense that God is, in a sense, a source of love. So then we are attracted like a magnet. We are attracted to Him. So the more we are near to Him the more we feel joy. This is why. All things of creation are craving for love and so are you. All things of creation are craving for love. They want to receive love. They want to reflect love. This is the purpose of life, and here in western civilisation, western culture, we all talk about love. (First of all would you raise your hands those who are seeing our Father for the first time? Would you raise your hands everyone? Thank you.) Love is essential. Now there are three ways we can live centring upon love. One way is to become a person to love, to become a person to be loved, second and to become a person of love itself, three ways. Which one would you want? Third one? Some say, “All three.” Well, you are very greedy. You want to have everything, all goodies. Right? But if you only have one choice, which one? First one, second one or third one? (THIRD O E!) I think you made the right choice. Everybody thinks that way. You want to become love itself, radiating love itself. Then let us examine for a moment the position to love and to be loved. Which one is nearer to the source of love, love itself? The position to love, to give love or to receive love? To give love? (YES!) You are very clever. So the next closest thing to the source of love is the person who can love, who can give love. That means you can become one with the source of love when you become a person who gives love. You are the closest one. Then what happens to the person who wants to receive love? The person who wants to receive love is on the other side of the dial, not on the side of the source. No matter how much you talk about love on the other side of the dial, when you only want to receive love you never can become one with the source of love. It is quite easy to say, “Well we want to give love.” But in most of your hearts you say, “I want to have someone to love me.” Isn’t that true? But where are you standing? Are you standing in giving or receiving? Where are you? You ask your heart right now at this present time. Where are you? Your position now is the position to receive. As long as you are staying there, that eternal love, that unchanging quality of love and a real joy of love will not be emerging, will not come out. If you want love just to be desired, to be received, then that is not the way really you can receive love. I think all this has resulted from the Fall of Man. Because of the Fall of Man we are separated from the source. Actually if each one of us truly is radiating in the spirit, has the desire to give love and everybody has a stronger desire to give love instead of to receive love, then what kind of world are we going to have? We are not in a position to give love because we do not know about love. If you become a true perfected love, source of love, and then give love automatically, then your objects, to return your love, are automatically created. In this world, what happened after the Fall of Man? There was no-one who could perfect his love and could truly give love, love of perfection. On the other hand there is no-one who is ready to receive that perfect love. Nobody has confidence to receive that . of perfection. Are you confident you can receive perfected love? Nobody has the confidence to recer:-e that love of perfection. So there is no instrument or tool in a person who can truly digest the e love and give to those who can have a capacity to receive. None of these things are existing. on of them are there. Therefore the true way of life cannot emerge in our way of life. of a magnet. Let us say this is a magnet. You put your magnet to the metal and really and forth. Then the metal will be becoming another magnet. The magnet produces So really the perfected magnet is creating another magnet, bringing another one e po er of a magnet is going around pulling all the surroundings into it. Then r..,…,, ••1”,~ po er is going around, even though it attracts and pulls many metals, does this e · power is weakened? Not at all. No, it will pull more metal and create a itself. Do you agree? Do you see the point? For what I am trying to say here is give and receive in perfection, no power is lessened by giving. You are not ou are peally adding up. In other words, its value will not diminish. Only give · ulation. This is hat it will bring. So addition of love is not dead. Love e. Therefore only by give and take can eternity be born. Because

there is no diminishing power of love, they will continue eternally. When you give someone a precious gift, the most precious thing of your life, if you are giving that gift to someone not arrogantly or boastfully but instead very humbly and if in your giving you always feel that you wish you could do more, then this humble heart in your giving and receiving presents, seeing the true heart of giving, is more precious than the actual giving itself. However, on the other hand, if you are boastful, “Well, you don’t deserve this but I am giving to you,” then the receiving person is resistant, negative. You really do not want to receive that kind of love, that kind of giving. Therefore, true love is giving, giving unselfishly in humble, joyful heart and actually you give certain values to certain person in loving heart. Your heart, your de ire of giving is bigger than the actual material that you are giving. Then this relationship will remain for eternity, never diminishing. Where can we find such a beautiful relationship in our way of life? ‘e f”Ind ch love even in the fallen world in the love of the parents. The love of the parents is the ne e and parental love for their children is unselfish, unconditional and always the parent o o more. Parents are not boastful in giving. Some parents wish to give more love, more thin · children, but they are not capable or they cannot afford to do it but their heart is so The · have never been boastful, so humble, unselfish, beautiful and here the children respon tiful love. Suppose if any husband had such a devotional wife, unselfish wife of love, he ·- Any wife, who has such an unselfish devotional husband, is a happy person. So far, we men have been looking at the things of creation al to subj ugate all of these things for our own benefit. This has been the t hinking. · … ,r-r …-.. is trying to subjugate others and to subjugate our surroundings for our o ‘ll n:nMT111CPd a human society of the same pattern. We look at each other in that way. So fellow man even worse than the things of creation, even worse than the animals. What is God? God is always compassionate. God is always sacrifi - never boasts. He is always humble and He wants us to be the things of creation. The power of love, of God is such that since man has failed to lo eation, God is in a position to comfort them, “I love you, I love you.” Skippin God has dealt with them directly. Now if you are really men of God, feeling like ean t hat God feels feeling, then you must teach all things of creation, “You must God feels towards you.” When you contact nature, when you go out to the field t all the trees are welcoming you? Then when you try to go away from the piCIJi They are almost saying, “Don’t go. Stay a little longer.” When you go towards the east, even at sundown the sun · tay a little longer. I want to see you longer.” Have you thought that? Then have you ever whispered to nature, “ Well, I’ll com ‘i o rait. I’ll come back. I love you.” Have you ever whispered that? Have you ever held NY!~=tion ·th nature? That kind of a man is really living the feeling of God. So God is appo,rt11·:me~ o hat man and that woman very very closely. That person is becoming nearer to God. Christians have a tradition before the meal in that e e grace. Then t he food is my food. I am nourished by the food. On the other hand all the me all the fish, vegetables have become a sacrifice, merely our sacrifice. They die for us. You o so e imes in the kitchen, they bring out an entire fish that has been well grilled or baked in an o They bring it up on a baked dish to come on the table. Then when I look at it, I feel sometim that it is actually living and it is actually moving. I can see through them the created life before it death, before becoming my food . Then I am asking, “What is it? The fish itself or something else? There must be some universal truth that is working here on my table.” There was a very dishearting testimony behind the fish. Then the fish is saying, “But I have never been loved. People never recognised me and now I have simply become the sacrifice. You know I want to be loved.”

So all the things of creation, all the animals, all the fishes and all the birds in the air are in a position to protest against man, that man has lots of apathy, complete apathy towards them. I love nature. I truly love nature. I like nature. In Korea I created some area set aside as a heavenly sanctuary. Here I created a sanctuary known as ‘Chung Chang.’ Water, mountains and trees are there. This is the place where I canhold a conversation with nature. I talk to nature. Nature talks back to me. I went to that place for a three hours drive back and forth. It is a long long drive and people say, “Why are you going there every day?” But I have a purpose. I have lovers waiting for me there. So I want you to know all nature are, in a way, our friends. They are waiting for their true sanction, that is, love from us. Sometimes I am really intoxicated by the beauty of nature. When I am talking and conversing with all the beauty of nature, I forget the time is passing. So far I have talked about nature but at the moment let us talk about men. Even nature is willing to receive love and be truly recognised by the Master, true Master. How much more of men? Men were born solely to love and to be loved. So our lives have not been fulfilled because our love has not been fulfilled . We must become like God and live like God’s own pattern, his way of life, that is, giving and receiving in his pattern. This has been our work. For it has been the tragedy of humanity that man did not know true love, because he was separated from the source of love. When God is looking down on this kind of man, He is grieved in His heart. So God has been pioneering the way, to give love in mending the relationship between God and man so that we could become a recipient of love. So God raised many righteous people who can be exemplary, who can become like spokesmen of God and heralding the truth to the world so that people might live. The true position of realisation of love is not the position to give, not the position to receive, but to become source of love itself and you are giving your love and you always feel that you are not doing enough, always feel humble. You are even more compassionate and merciful. This is truly the ideal pattern of love. Therefore, those people in the history of God who practise the pattern and way of life of God, are in a position to be persecuted, to become a sacrifice and to suffer the untold tribulation while they are practising this love, giving love. any great men have come in history to many nations and those great righteous people are common. They lived in one common way of life. They gave their life in total unselfish living for the betterment of the nation, their society and their fellow men and in many cases the person who gave themselves completely for the purpose of the nation is regarded as patriot of the country. In their life time many righteous people were rejected, not recognised, persecuted but by the passing of time, the passing of history, the people recognised the beautiful, sun-like, shining beauty of love which those people demonstrated and gave for humanity. Now Mankind is far away from this. So what we need is the movement of revolution of love, where the changing concept is the love in all humanity. The subject of love must be God. With the true love in the centre, we need the subjects who can exercise and give their love. We need objects, who are in a position to receive, entitled to receive, their love. For the person who receives love, receiving is not the end of it. The person who receives love must be ready to return it. So that means when you give love, say ‘love of ten’, and that ‘love of ten’ is always returning, the value of ‘love of ten’ never diminishes. It is always increasing because it brings back the stimulation and more joy. Why does it become bigger? My purpose of love is that I give, let us say, ‘love of ten’ to the objects, then these objects receive the ‘love of ten’ and return it. So actually as far as the effect goes, it produces ‘love of twenty’ instead of ‘love of ten’. So dual purpose is fulfilled. Love is giving. You create all it has. The one purpose is this. Receiving and returning is another purpose. It is al ays double-fold. t is the realistic problem? What is the best way? What is the fastest short cut to reach that goal? All humanity is now only seeking to receive love. They want to receive it. They have to deny this Bib the teaching that you must be a source of love and you must sacrifice yourself first. So God can tum around and break down the selfish point of view of love and bringing into it unselfish love. Therefore the noble teaching of God is letting us know that sacrifice is not a losing way. You sacrifice in lo . ou sacrifice yourself. Then God will return much greater than you gave. This is the Principle, the Cosmic Principle. Also objects, who receive from the subject sacrificial love, always feel they ant to return more to the subject, than the love he received. Knowing that

sacrificial love is received, he wants to give himself in a sacrificial · ·. o =- be n n •rT-•.. TT o achieve and revolutionise the pattern of love from selfish to unselfish is the way of sacrifice. o other way can go faster. Can you think of it and find it? When God is looking down on the entire earth and looking down the goal to reach, God finds no other way. But this is the short-cut, that you sacrifice yourself for the purpose of humanity. That will fulfull the goal quicker and faster. You know patriarchs, usually a patriarch is a sacrifice of one man for a nation. Because of the one man’s sacrifice the whole nation was resurrected. There are many cases in history. This is a new order of love, the origin of true love and the pattern of love. However, Christianity today is declining because it does not understand the true meaning of love and they are trying to be self-centred. They said, “I believe in Jesus because I want to go to my heaven. I want to go and have my small home in heaven.” Then the next thing they think, “When I’m thinking of my heaven I would like to have a little hole there for my son, my daughter, my family.” When you go to hear the many prayers of the church, they ask what God has to do. They are always praying, “God, give me this. Give me that. Why don’t you do this? Why don’t you do that?” It is almost just begging an answer and when God gave to them, they ask for more. It is a one way street. There is no give and take. Suppose you believe in Jesus Christ in order to send other people from hell to heaven. “I, with the power of Christ, want to bring out the unfortunate humanity from hell to heaven and I myself want to go to their place in hell. I shall replace them.” Do you think what will happen then? Somebody, because of you, entered heaven. Their life indebted to you. So for eternity, let’s say that three people in heaven are just begging and crying for you. You are the target. You are going to be the one they are going to humble themselves to to pull you out of hell to the same heaven. Isn’t that true? It is human trait. Suppose you are a Christian, you will say, “Well, I want to go to heaven, but there is somebody else who deserves heaven before me. So I want to be a sacrifice for that man. So let him go to heaven first instead of me.” Do you think that that person, that really good man, who, because of yourself, was going to heaven and you volunteered hell, stays here just to live his own life and forget about you? Not at all. That is not the way heaven works. The man never sits a moment until he brings you out of hell into an ever higher position than himself. So I come to the conclusion that present conventional Christian faith will not bring, in no way, God’s Kingdom upon the face of the earth. When the

- II religious people, the devout Christians and other religious people are self-centred that way, how much more so outside of the world who do not even recognise this trait. So everybody today lives like a thief, lives like a robber who is armed, in trying to threaten other people, trying to usurp other people’s fortune, power, knowledge, everything for their own benefit. This is the kind of

• world in which you would live. So by having this world, our society, as it is, without changing, we cannot bring God’s kingdom upon the face of the earth. ever! ever in eternity can that be realised. Then what is the purpose of the Unification Church? Why are we here? To make money, to have a good life, to get the power of the government or the society, to be boastful. No, that’s not the purpose. Our purpose is in bringing new unity, new sensible realisation of the value of love. Have you ever, truly mobilizing your heart and soul, loved your nearest one, your sister, your brother, your uncle, your aunt, your nephew, your grandmother and grandfather, your father and mother? How many times? How much are you really burning like an oven, burning with enthusiasm and willingness to love and to serve? You must become that person. Since this love, the realisation of love, is the ultimate goal, by even sacrificing yourself, you want to achieve that goal. In other words, you want to give up your life to achieve that goal. In the world of love nothing else is important, nothing else including your life, is important but love itself. Have you ever been really fearful at the thought that you may lose that love, that precious love, somebody might take away that love. When you think of the world without love then you are thinking that very moment of

hell. That is the hell. Whe n you have that deep love always in your position, your bubbling enthusiasm, the zeal that you have, that precious love within yourself, you are living in heaven. Then the whole universe is craving for love and love is the proclaimant of life. Then in order to fulfill your life and the life of all things of creation, how much are you willing to give up yourself, forgetting your meal? How many times were you truly crazy about the love of God forgetting your own daily life, eating, sleeping, having fun or having relaxation or thought whatever? How many times are you truly concentrating, that you are seeking after the love of God? From your love of your own relative, close member of your family, you realise that, “The more I love, the more I should be in a position to direct my love towards others more than I do with my immediate family, my friends but more than my friends but for strangers and so forth to expand my love into the horizon of the universe.” How many times have you ever made a true effort as if pretending, “I am God, a love of God and I receive the love of God.” Then I must ask “If God is in me. Then He must act this way.” So pretend you are God and you ask, “How can I now give that love of God towards my fellow man.” How many times have you been conscious of this, God being present in your heart. We must love life and serve this body and soul, life and soul. When I say life is eternal life, I mean the soul, not the physical body, then that person’s thought, ideal. Then you can love the person’s action, the person’s own doing. Two thousand years ago Jesus Christ came and he proclaimed, “God is Spirit” and “God is your Father” and “God loves you.” Since the value of love of God is so great Jesus Christ did not reserve anything. He was in a position of absolute giving, even giving his own life to persue the goal knowing that love is greater than his own life. So if you truly want to give your unselfish I 00% to others, then God will pour upon you the creative power or power of creation. The creation is none other than the manifestion of the object, the world of objects. So when you give, really pour out your energy and love towards your object, there is always the new creative power. e creation is possible. ew creation is always there. When Jesus Christ looked at the twelve apostle around Him, I am sure he already said to himself, “I can really give unselfish love indeed to our people.” For three years the primary purpose of Jesus was to love those twelve disciples so that they can become one, become united. But at the crucifixion all disciples betrayed Jesus. There was no disciples, no followers at the side of the crucifixion. But Jesus Christ, since he is symbol of the love of God, he cannot change. He is the only who has not changed, still loving them. So there is always the power of resurrection. When there is unselfish, continuous, unchanging giving love of God. The power of God intervenes and the power of resurrection begins. In many movie dramas, I am sure you have seen the dramatic scene where somebody, because someone loves someone very dearly, without being noticed he sacrificed himself for the life of his lover or somebody. Then once this beautiful sacrificial love is recognised by that man, that person wants to give his life plus more in return for the person who died for him. When you learn somebody really dearly loves you, in that he sacrifices his life for yourself, then the very moment you learn about it, you want to do more than the person who did it to you. Because this is human nature. This is God built, a resemblance of God. The whole human race is a remembrance of God. God has the principle pattern of life, which is giving love,unselfish love and he never changes. No matter how many times God is betrayed, he never changes position, continually seeking to sacrifice His people. But He does not leave His people just in sacrifice. He always resurrects His people. This is a much greater victory of life. This is God. There is no other way we can change this world unless we practise the principle of love of God. This is one way. Do you Jo e me? [Yes!] . Isn’t it funny? Why do you love me? I am from the orient. I have nothing to do with you. I have black eyes and black hair, different from you. Why do you love me? Because I have talked about and I am practising the love of God. I have always been persecuted by my fello Koreans. They were very nasty to me, unkind, very cruel to me. When I went to America or the estem orld I was sun- that they would persecute me even more.

Among Korean people there is a cultural background and all the tradition of a cultural way of life. We have a mutual understanding, we don’t have to talk, we have a spiritual understanding of each other. But when I come to the Western world I come to totally different surroundings. Your cultural background is entirely different from mine. I am sure all the leaders here sitting in the front have tasted many times God’s heart and love. Then suddenly that has turned around, and betrayed you, and you think that God is trying to crucify you, trying to persecute you. But, however, don’t turn away from God, damning and punishing. You must not curse him. No, this is not God’s way. The other person may betray you, change and tum away, but you should never turn away. This is what the Bible teaches: ‘Pray for your enemy’. Leaders have to know how to practise this life. I tasted this so many times in my own lifetime .• {any times people who have been following me faithfully and pledge loyalty to me and to God suddenly weaken as some suspicion comes into their hearts. They tum around and betray me. When they are going away I always pray. I never betrayed them. I can still love them even more than before. Then do you know what happens? Either that man comes back in time, or God sends somebody even greater than that man, even with a resemblance in the voice, and a resemblance in appearance. That man comes to his place. God never loses. You know what happened when the Korean people persecuted me and rejected me. I never cursed Korean people. I still love them. I pour my intensive lo e upo my fellow people in Korea. Then God knows that he must raise the rest of the world d let them love me so that the Korean people will be shamed. This is how I think. I in a way? Why do you people from the twenty-nine different nationalities come he e and listen to me even more than to your parents, your own president? Why? B e mething special. Because your original heart knows who I am. Because your h ·ou that you want to dwell in truth, not falsehoods. You want to dwell with truth,. yo o e drawn into true love. That is why you are pulled by me. I always feel that if I o towards you, towards people, then no people will betray vcc …au;)IC; in a way all human conscience and our original trait is good. That human trait co God. It always wants more than you receive. This is basic human reaction. In this ost logical that God has a way to restore all mankind, because, even though we are ennost in the hearts of men there is this human trait which is the trait of God. This o · · · d is still living. So God can hook and pull. Here about four hundred people are gathered in this rOODL · ·- a great many, in a way, because if each one of you goes out into the world and pra · God unselfish giving, love and way of life, then you will be like me. The multitude of the ioe0Plle o the world will be pulled towards you. You are the magnet. You pull the people. Just raise your hand those who have experienced rearin ·e a small dog, cats, and so forth, at home. Thank you. When I went to America the first thing I noticed was tha American people love their dog. That is all right. To love a dog is O.K., but it did no much good feeling. Do you know why? Because in many cases they love their dog mo their fellow man. They are so apathetic towards the black people but they are so fond o e! o n dog. For this person, I thought, if those people continue looking in a narro a . th y have no hope. How do you think? Suppose somebody has some important jewel or some precious stone. What’s the difference between this material and the life of man? ‘hi h one is greater, which one is more precious? In many cases people think that their own precio thing is greater than human life, so our thinking pattern should be re-adjusted. In many cases ha e you thought that other people were paying more attention towards your own dress or your o n suit than to you. People at the time of Jesus knew that life is the most precious. They ere going to revive and resurrect the lives of so many multitudes of people. Therefore they decided to go out, sell their things, and become penniless and bring all these things for the salvation and the life of the people. Some writers and reporters, particularly in the Time Magazine in America, reported to the public that I am a very wealthy person, a millionaire. Our movement needs money and I have money. But it is not for me, not at all. I work very hard for the material restoration, because we

need those things, but I don’t even k now where that money is. I couldn’t care less. I always felt that I worked so hard , sweated and laboured to create a fortune to save the world. That is the only purpose I do this. Then if some thief or some cunning swindler came and took our fortune away from us, I would not worry, because I do not think they are lost. Since they were restored in the name of God and by my sweat and labour, wherever they go they work as seed, eventually bringing in more fruit towards the centre. Nobody can take things away from God. So even though sometimes many swindlers have tried to cheat and trick our business and tried to take away a great fortune from us, I do not worry. Since our movement started from penniless scratch, I always feel that God has a way and even though he may bring us down once again to pennilessness, I do not worry. I have to worry about something else. Since I poured out my heart and love, if the entire energy was for the purpose of loving others with unselfish giving, if that was the motivation, then let’s say if some mischief happened, somebody took the fortune away, I would not worry, because that is not the end of it. The end of it is in a further chapter, which is coming, and I look forward to seeing the exciting future chapter. Don’t you think it more exciting and God’s work is very thrilling and exciting? So, for the same reason, when I was pushed into jail, chained, I felt calm and peaceful because I only felt God and nothing disturbed me. So one time I was tortured and I was bleeding. I was so hit by a club that I had broken bones. I could not stand or walk. I was just crawling along the floor. But innermost in my heart, I felt this is not the final chapter. I have something exciting coming in a future chapter. What is the standard of happiness? What is the criteria of happiness? Eating well? Dressing well? Dwelling in a large house? Is that happiness? Who said that is the criteria of happiness? Who told you that you must eat three meals a day?\ ell, it does not bother me if I have one meal a day. Who told you you must wear a different dress for spring fall summer and winter? I have a pretty good suit now, but before I came upon this suit, I started in rags, a very lowly costume. I started as a labourer. I was not ashamed there. Because as long as I have a guarantee that I am doing the work of God and practising his unselfish giving of love I am not ashamed. When you go to Korea, you look at the Korean headquarters of our church. It is miserable in a way. You know, I can rebuild that miserable church building into a mammoth building at once if I want to. But I don’t do it, because that sight, that building, that room and that floor is a part of history. I sweated, I shed tears, I was tortured. I was persecuted. Many people were unkind. So much history has transpired in that building that I want it to remain in history. If I ever have further difficulties in my future days, do you know what I want to do? I want to go back to my ancient prison in which I suffered and I w.ant to go back to that spirit, that fighting spirit over there. Then recharge myself and come back and face the difficulties, whatever they may be. I will be in hope. I am sure I will be burning in hope when I go back to that prison and see the cell in which I suffered, in which I overcame. I was not weakened. I did not give up. I was not disillusioned at that time. By overcoming that tribulation, today we have achieved this. If I overcome this tribulation, how much greater hope can we expect? So no matter how great the tribulation that hit me, it never bothered me. So I do not defend myself. I have no sort of fence around me. When you go out, shout all over the world for the Unification Church. There may be a time when the entire world stands up and comes against us. Let us suppose that one time you are all disillusioned in me. You betray me. All people round the world who profess to be Unification Church members, tum against me. Then, if I overcome that difficulty, there will be even greater victory to be won. Love, you don’t want to have more love . You want to have an endless vast ocean of love. This is what our human ambition is drawing into. If you want to be in a position, if you want to love and recei ·e that great love, you must become capable of, or a container of, great love I see young people, they are so bubbling with enthusiasm that they try to do anything they can. But in less than three years they are so disillusioned. They get so old and after three years they sho no power. Then I look at them and I pay much attention to them, and they become my study material en I look at them, if I were in their position, even if somebody asked me to just do a little ting, I ouldn’t do it. How could man feel that way? I want to study man’s position, man’s heart must solemnly realise why we gather together, what power brought you here. You are

here to become a true Master, true host of the entire universe and creation. We are gathered here together as the example of the pattern of true human life, that is centred upon faith, love and hope. We shall become truly the light of the world. When you sow good seed don’t try to reap right away. When you take Buddhism as an example you see that in the area and country where Buddha was born, Buddhism was not flourishing there. Jesus Christ is the same. Christ’s country was not flourishing in the place where Jesus was born. Look at Israel. How many real, good, devout Christians are there? They still deny him. This is why Jesus said ‘the prophet is never welcome in his own country’. Isn’t that true? Unification Church is the same, and I would think that Korea is the least appreciative country of the work I am doing. Many people who came to visit the United States go back to Korea and they proclaim ‘Reverend Moon, we never heard his name in the country of Korea. But when I go into America his name is all over. So when a tree is bigger, the bigger the tree, the more distant the fruit is away from the ground. Sometimes also in a comical way, I pray something like this. ‘Father, after a thousand years and even after ten thousand years, don’t give us fulfilment. I want to have our fruit far in the distance’. Then that means we shall see the record of goodness here in our time. The tree grows a thousand years, ten thousand years, and you can imagine how big that tree becomes. Then it is the best fruit. Then you can see how much more fruit you can bring. That means the Unification Church will never never be destroyed. All shall be flourishing. Christianity did not have a clear purpose, clear goal and destination. This is what was wrong. ‘Only my heaven, my own salvation’ is the very narrow goal of Christianity. In other words. ‘I sow in me. I want to bear fruit in me’. He wants to have fruit right there in him. But our goal is the liberation of God. Our fruit is now the liberation of God. So please do not think that your effort today must be recognised in the next hour, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. Do not become a small person on a short scale. You just continue your duty, your true way of life, in a wholehearted way for ten years, for twenty years continuously; without thinking of the fruit. So when you look at mankind, the people in the street, in your community, look at them with a compassionate heart, the merciful heart, and think of those very poor people. Why are they poor? Because they are like orphans. Because they do not know God. They do not know their true Father. They do not know the love of the Father. For they are really poor people. You have to be compassionate for them. So the problem is whether you can become a person to love, and how you can give your total self as an investment and give yourself in a sacrificial way. If you commit yourself, and if you pour out and invest your total self, then more than your total self will be given back. This is a principle of God. So how many years can you continue as an individual member? Just ask yourself how much can you devote yourself for your family. How much can you give yourself? For how many years can you love your nation? (For the world, for fellow man). How many years can you serve? For God and the spirit world how many years can you sustain your own selfless life? Tell me. [Forever!]. We have not done it. We have not done it. For 6,000 years God has wanted to pour out His love upon the face of the earth and his goal is one man at the beginning, one Messiah. How many years did he take? How many years in Biblical history? God has been patient just to find one man and to love one man. God has been patient 6,000 years in Biblical history. However in actuality the symbolic figure means many tens of thousands of years. If you knew this was the truth then everything would be solved. God will continue to love. He does not mind waiting and even being patient for tens of thousands of years in order to see one true Heavenly family being born on the face of the earth. If there is a truly Godly family created on this earth in object to God, God will just bend his back and follow. He will not want to be separated from them. Every Morning is just excitement, joy to God. This is such a precious thing. So God can do anything just bending his back and following. There is nothing to reserve. For the creation of one nation of God, God is patient. He can wait for many tens of thousands of years for the restoration of the entire world; World salvation God can sustain for eternity. He can be patient. So when we know God’s hope, we cannot be disappointed. Do not say ‘The world is helpless’. We must not say that. God was waiting for the appearance of a true Son, family, nation and world. Then you just shout ‘God give me my heaven! Where is my heaven? Where are my credentials for the Kingdom of Heaven?’ Have you

loved one man continuously in an untiring way for an entire year. Think of it. How many years have you been with someone whom you really love? Those who do not have an ability to love others but are trying to receive more love than anybody else are like thieves and have the minds of robbers. This is the theory and concept of robbery. God through the Bible is teaching us to love our fellow men. God through Jesus is saying ‘If you recognise me in front of others, I will recognise you. If you love me in front of others, I will love you’. I represent history. I am the fruit of history. The Messiah is the fruit of history. The person who recognises him, really recognises history and recognises God. Without a Messiah, that person, no matter how much he wants to relate himself to God, will find it impossible. If you have a husband or wife whom you really love and respect, even to the point of worship, but you are not honest and truthful with your brothers and sisters, and your own parents, then you are false. Here many different nationalities are gathered together. Historically some people were enemies of each other. They were fighting. Then if you have a little bit of ill-feeling, a hostile feeling, still remaining in most of your hearts you are not worthy of me. Mankind is thirsty for love, dying for love. God is seeking somebody to represent him to give love to the people, his cham pion, family, clan and nation. This is what God has been seeking. If there is a true representative of God’s love, all thirty billion people will like to come under his domain or his influence. They will just be dying to be included in that group. Unification Church is intended to be the powerhouse of love. This is where we learn how to love and how to be loved . So we can truly organise and create the family of love, society of love, nation of love. This is our mission. Jesus Christ is the centre and core of love, but there is no record that Jesus loved his own brother. There is no record that Jesus showed love towards his parents. There is no record that Jesus loved his own relatives. Jesus was not selfish towards his own church or his own synagogue. He did come for his people but there was no record of him loving his people in a selfish sense. In many cases Jesus was cursing his people ‘Woe to you’ he said. Seven times - there were seven cursings in the Bible. Why? Because Jesus came to give love but people acted absolutely like a stone wall to his love. There’s no way his love could penetrate into his people. Jesus cursed his people. Woe to you’ he said, seven times. But before he could say that, there was his desperate effort to open up the heart of the Israel people. So that he could pour out his love towards them. If Jesus just cursed, without having this preceding effort, then he just came as the Lord of judgment. This is not really the Lord of love. The cursing of his people is almost like an emergency measure, an emergency operation for the patient. The normal message did not work. Jesus wanted to shake them up. Many of them came against him, but of these Jesus knew that some of them would be really shaken in their hearts, to love. You have your home, your nation, your relatives and everything. How much do you love them? How much have you loved? How much are you loving? How much will you love? There is no guarantee how much you can do. If you have a guarantee that you can do this, then you can really and truly represent God. Then happiness truly dwells with you and the people you are trying to influence come under your domain. Suppose such a nation, centred upon God, was born upon the face of the earth. Then that nation is where Jesus can really pour out his love and ask the people to respond to it. But Jesus cannot pour out his love, because there is no nation, no sovereignty, that comes under the love of Jesus. Without that sovereignty, no matter how much he pours out his love, it will be wasted. He was not able to secure our nation one sovereignty, under his influence. Therefore, nobody really can see that he was truly giving his love - towards individual, family, tribe, and people because there was no base. A foundation was not there. After two thousand years of Christian history, God ordained the Unification Church to do this final chapter of fulfilment of God’s will. We must be in a position to prepare to accept the Lord, the coming Messiah and to be in a position to receive his love and to love him. Then you will be in a position to love someone without reservation from eternity to eternity and you can receive the same love from that source. Don’t you want to see the entire mankind overwhelmed by the love of God. So that God can really embrace mankind and God’s suffering in his heart can be over. We can liberate His sorrowful heart so that in the first time in history, this earth and people become a source of joy of God. Then God becomes the eternal, electric power plant of love. You are all

electric wires connected together. You are the major power lines, that connect to the source of the electric power of God. You are illuminated in each end, shining like a sun, an electric bulb. You become each light of the world but the strength of light is different and the thickness and pureness of the line leading towards the source of power is also different. Do you know what sensitivity is? What is pureness? Pureness is absolute super sensitivity. The mo re you are pure, the more sensitive you are to conduct the electric power more sensibly and beautifully. The pure person responds to human sorrow quickly. If somebody really suffers, you suffer too. If someone is really joyful, you are happy together. If someone is really in anguish you are in anguish together. So we are to restore our working relationship with God. The separation of men fro m God is to be mended. Then you become yourself on a small scale, the extended power plant of God and you are going to be master of love to all things of creation. Then the world will be filled with joy. All things of nature will be filled with joy. All people will be filled with joy. Therefore God has to be filled with joy. To fulfil this mission, the divine purpose and mission, our group is gathered and that group name is the Unification Church. There is one mysterious thing about me that you will never kno in depth. The more you love me, the more you like me, the more you want to become close to me. Isn’t it funny, the more you become sensitive, the more you shine in power and the whole spirit world moves behind you. The more you love me, the more strange things will happen to you. tho gh you are far distant across the ocean, we very seldom meet; however, I am so close to you that I can appear in your dreams, I can appear in your vision. I can be so close in many ways. If you really have fellowship with me to the same spiritual level then, all of a sudden your spiritual eye will be ope ed. Even though I am in New York, Washington, or somewhere going around, if you feel just like me we have super communication all the time. Then if you further develop in that way you always feel the presen o me in front of you, you can even sit down with me and talk. Real fellowship togeth r. Th in that level if you are neglecting certain things a little bit I am so near you that you ha or I’ll hit you. It seems an impossible dream but in our day this is possible. When you are uni .in heart and mind with me, at that level the entire mankind will come and embrace with you, be mankind will become part of your own body. This has a very deep meaning. Can you folio m meaning? I hope you can. Those of you who have seen me in dream or in prayer before me those who have had that kind of experience please raise your hand Thank you. But everybod · capable, every single one of you is capable of doing so. You have a responsibility to be dire tly led by me for three years. What is the fastest way to become one with me, that is, to become · po ·tion to love me and to be loved? I’m not here for my own sake, but I am here for m… for God, selfless being, selfless existence. Once you have made up your mind that way, from unselfish point of view, if you really have one man that you want to bring into our moveme you persevere and give out the same love continuously and no matter how stubborn, tha man be turned around. In other words you become a magnet. You become a magnet of love and ou move around and people will be pulled, you will pull the people. This is a new hope. This is a new movement, the new revol tio and this must happen upon the face of the earth. Because of this new faith, transcending all nationality, the boundary of the nation, the boundary of the language, we gather together for a common purpose, uniting a selfless love, there in the hope of the world. If we don’t ever start it, this world is in despair, and has no hope. Jesus said to his own disciples, ‘You who love me most, unless you love me more than your own mother and father, your own children, your own family, you are not worthy of me’. We still can go one step further. I feel it is my teaching, that you may not love Jesus, love God in that fashion, but if you truly practise your selfless love with your fellow man, then your position is ever greater. God is in the position of the parents. Parents always feel happier when they see that their son and daughter really embrace each other and love each other. The parent truly feels joy when his children have a true fellowship of love with each other. This is the parental position. This is the formula for getting to heaven quickly. The fastest short-cut is that you believe God as your Father and you serve your fellow man more than you serve your own father. This is the criteria. This is not just in

thought. This is real truth that if you practise that you believe in your heart that the living God is your living father, and serve your fellow men and mankind more than you serve your own father, then the whole world will be transformed into a world : to love and be loved. This is where the ideal of creation, that God intended, will be realised. In order to love the greater goal you must go beyond the small obstacle. This is why if you preach and witness to your own people your own nationality, when you go to other lands like America and you work for the other land and for the other people , just like you love your own people, then your deeds and fruit will be greater. It is the same thing in our society: Somebody who really sacrifices himself for his own family is regarded as a good man and a very righteous person for the family. If the whole family sacrifices for the purpose of another society then they will be even more respected. So a wise man in order to bring his limited effort to fruition, (human effort is limited to 24 hours) in order to bring greater truth you must have a universal target. Do not think on an individual level, family level, tribe level, national level, but rather on the worldwide level. But even greater than that, if you are sacrificing yourself for Father and all mankind, your deed is truly greatest. If you really take this message to your heart, practising your way of life, then no matter how much persecution comes to you, even when a person is trying harder for the negative side while you work for the positive side, they still cannot knock you out. So when you come here from all different places, I want you to think now about how much you loved your fellow man in an unselfish way? Particularly those who are in the mission field, pioneering the mission in foreign countries, where because of the hardship and tribulation that you cannot bear yourself, you are tempted to escape from the responsibility. You give up and go away. It’s a crime but not only for one nation, but for two. So when you go beyond your own nation, becoming a missionary to other lands, it is a divine and a difficult task and a great responsibility. You represent the national honour of your own people. But when you have truly become the embodiment of love then the period of your suffering and tribulation is much shorter. Your hardship is like bringing two big forces together. I know it is difficult but the goal is one, united just like this. Then nothing can deter you. othing can separate us. Even until now you worked so hard that you were almost at the point where you wanted to give up, but now you must expect unexpectedness all the time. Under any circumstances, under any conditions, if you have the love of God, love of the nation, love of people, and you really appeal to and plead with people and if those tremendous efforts, the value of the sacrifice, is not recognised by the people, then that people, that nation, picked the punishment, not you. Maybe some people, coming from all differen t parts of Europe, are paying so much expense and say, ‘Why Father? Why did not Master come to Germany? Why did he not come to France? Italy? Why does he always come to London and ask us to come?’ You suffer more in a way. You make more effort and work harder. You will be more blessed. The people who are here in this area happen to be here listening to Father’s message tonight, then that is O.K. You are listening to the same message. But the person who came many hundreds, or thousands of miles to hear Father’s message tonight, even though it is the same message, the value and blessing is different. So in their respect it is fair, very fair. Thought is a powerful thing. Thought is the power force in this Universe. Your thinking pattern is powerful and love is the most powerful of all. It is so powerful that you can really dominate and really make the entire world as you wish. The world is at your disposal. You came here for a . purpose. We must bring back the fruit, and we are certain of satisfaction. If you really love someone three times you should expect to be loved by him before that three times is over. So this was a good afternoon. We spent a wonderful afternoon here in London, and I’m very glad to see you. Let us close this meeting in prayer.

MASTER SPEAKS Rowlane Farmhouse February 3rd 1974

The Necessity of Religious Life

Those who did not have any religious experience before, in other words, were not a member of a church or anything like that but have just come into our church to become a member of our church for the first time in their lives would you raise your hand please - those who first came into our church without any affiliation to another church before. Thank you. I would like to talk to you this morning on the topic of ‘The ecessity of Religious Life’. We were all born not for our own will; we were born for some other will. As soon as we · were born then we realised we have a certain goal to fulfil. I myself am always in the passive position. I am in a passive position. So you are born in a passive fashion but as soon as you are born you come into a positive position. In other words you are in a position to take initiative for your own life. That means as soon as you realise you have a certain goal to fulfil and are taking the initiative, that means you have to have specific goals. In order to reach that goal you need some relationship with others. There are differences between those people who do not have faith and those who have faith, or those people - one with religious life, the other without religious life. The basic difference is that the person who has no religion relates everything to himself - in other words everything originates in himself and ends up in himself. However those who have faith or religion do not relate to themselves for a goal, but to God as the source of a goal. The people, those who do not believe, normally do not have to think about anything else except themselves and everything comes from their self-centred interest. But once you realise that we are resultant beings then you must recognise the position of the subject or the cause beyond us. Once you recognise first the cause and once you recognise the subject then you also realise your life cannot be separated from that source, the origin. Everybody believes in certain fate but the real fate is that a person is directed to the same as that of the goal or origin. Let’s say a certain technician is designing a certain machine. That machine has a purpose to fulfil and the designer has the total project and total goal in his mind. But a small part of that machine, even though that particular part does not know what it is really all about, is contributing towards that entire goal. Even though from the point of view of this part it seems to have no connection with the original concept or idea, in actuality the original concept of the designer, his idea, is permeated or runs through all the way down to the end of that particular small part. So that part, is in a way indirectly connected to the source. Today we can put God in a position of designer. He designs certain things for specific goals. We are like a part. Therefore the designer’s will is permeated, running through and manifested in us even though it apparently does not look as if we have any connection with the source. So all men have a life to live with a direction. We have a directional life. There are two directions. One is the direction of the general goal towards the original purpose, ultimate purpose. There is also a secondary goal of relating each part with some other part in its own horizontal relationship. Let’s say the machine has almost all the parts turning right but certain parts are turning left. It is almost contradicting each other and it seems as if it is not from the original point of view because each direction is serving its specific purpose. However the entire purpose is moving to the right and the turning movement to the left is contributing in such a way that the total entire machine or entire goal is moving to the right. So no individual can survive all by himself, the individual is needed as an integral part of our society. So we must belong to society in a certain fulfilling role, a special role that is our role. By the same token this can be said in the level of society, in the nation and world. And all societies and nations move in the direction that the source is pulling. Everybody

has to go to that goal. But meantime each area of responsibility has a special characteristic. Each society has a special characteristic. But the two directions are not separated. Everybody is moving towards a common goal. Meantime you exercise your specific mission in your particular area, and all that service in your own specific area is generally for the purpose of contributing towards the common goal, the central goal. In this world we can find two types of people. One type of person sees the common goal as the ultimate goal and tries to sacrifice his own immediate interest to fit into the fulfilment of that ultimate goal. The other type of person does not think about tomorrow, or the future, he does not care less for tomorrow, for life after life. He is just interested in and concentrates on his own benefit in life in the reality of the world today. From these different standpoints, viewpoints of life, we can see that there are two types of people. One type who is seeking after religion; one who does not go for religion - the people who are blinded and do not see the future and tomorrow. These are the people who usually do not feel the necessity for religion. So at this time we would like to re-examine ourselves where we are standing. All of you have different characteristics. There are several hundred people here. Of all the faces not even two are the same; all are different. Your eyes have the same purpose, but each eye is different. All the organs and senses are fulfilling the same common purpose, such as vision, such as hearing, and so forth, but all their appearances are unique. So our position is compared to the vast common direction of the life of mankind or humanity. We are creating a very little bit of muck, a little bit of disturbance in our lives, compared to the entire stream. But the main stream is towards the common goal and whether you like it or not you will go in the direction of the main stream. This is destiny; human destiny is moving constantly. So there is a tide, a tide of life, the tide of history, moving towards a common goal, whether you like it or not, whether you agree with it or not. So therefore t he wise man finds the tide of history, and hitch-hiking he becomes a part and runs together with the tide. Foolish people run against, try to run against and go against this great tide. The person who is self-centred tries to go against the tide of history, the common goal, the goal towards which God is pulling. God is the source and he is leading this history to the selfless goal, and therefore the person who is self-centred has to go against that tide. Why do we need the law in this society? Because, individually, all people are so self-centred and think of bringing all benefits only for themselves. Therefore if we leave man alone, we are going to have many clashes, so many clashes, so in order to regulate our self-centred society we need the law. If there is no law and we leave all the self-centred to clash, the selfish interest that’s running in all different directions will cause so many head-on collisions, and fighting, killing and stealing will be the result. Because they have no other goal so such a society will move into self-extinction or self-destruction. Therefore the nation, each nation has a distinct purpose and national life but no nation can afford to clash against the world’s common goal. Each nation has to be an integral part of the entire community of nations. So today I feel that we come to the moment in history that a nation can never sustain or survive for a national purpose alone. We must be an integral part of the world community. For example the oil-crisis, the energy-crisis. One nation pushed a button. A few groups of nations in Arab nations merely pushed a button. They took some action. They affected practically every individual life in the world and in particular I can find their effect in Great Britain is so great. Even though you do not like it, even though you disagree with it, you have to go along in a certain direction, so there is a new law. This is how history has been formulated: in adapting to new circumstances. By the same token all nations, whether you like it or not, have taken the energy crisis as a reality. You have to live with it. By the same token in this universe there is one central will pulling and organizing human destiny in search of a common goal. Then, whether you like it or not, you have to live in that will. You have to either co-operate with just part of it or go against it. But those persons who go against it are going to have a hard time. Then let me ask you whether the universal purpose is existing for me or whether I am existing to serve that universal purpose. This universal purpose and myself can be described as the subject and object, and both are existing to complement each other, so really both subject and object exist for each other. So they are like subject and object on a horizontal

level with give and take. This way the two are existing in a complementary give and take relationship, a reciprocal relationship. Where the universal purpose is moving in one direction our horizontal purpose is going in this direction. So even though we have give and take on a horizontal level this whole circular motion of give and take action is following the lead of the pulling direction of the Universal purpose. We are pulled towards the ultimate direction We know the direction with give and take horizontally in one way, but should not stay in the same motion, rather we should constantly change direction and adjust or adapt ourselves toward that universal goal. If you have give and take on a horizontal level, only in one place, then you may achieve one purpose at that particular level but no more, and then come to an end. What is knowledge? Those who have knowledge, great knowledge, those people have a vision, see through the future and plan from their position to achieve that future goal. This is a wise man. So in our life we have two distinctive purposes or goals. One is a common goal, one is an individual goal and two must be parallel and not clash with each other. I must come to this conclusion that my own individual purpose is not to distract or destroy the common purpose but to add or contribute to that common goal. If there is only one Master in this universe then there cannot be two contradictory purposes. There can only be one purpose and one purpose alone. You must recognise the eventual one unity, the one unification; one world, not two. Throughout history there were so many religions of this world. A different religion is something like a part of a great machine, therefore fulfilling certain roles, contributing towards a central purpose or common purpose. Nations are the same. How can we make ourselves a better religion or how can our nation become better in sight of these relationships, so that we can prosper. Religion is dealing with internal matters of man, whereas the nation is dealing with the external life of man. The internal life of man, which is spiritual life, inner life, is trying to serve the total goal, common goal. My body, my physical elements are required to seek after immediate visible impact or visible benefit. So the inner, my inner man, your inner man, represents the central common purpose. How can we harmonize these two distinct lives: inner and outer? The purpose of life is the matter of deciding your level of personality and your inner man is dealing with a vast, vast area, the vast abstract universal scope that is tremendous and limitless. But your physical body is dealing with a limited area of the world or limited circumstances. So your body in a way is very easy to satisfy because you have five senses. All you have to do is satisfy your five senses. Good food can satisfy the mouth. The eye can see the good things and the ear can hear the good music and all these then make your physical body happy. Today what we call the materialistic world is the process which satisfies the physical body, the physical requirements. But by this you cannot control the inner man. Inner man does not come under that control, physical control or materialistic control. So this is the limit of the materialistic civilisation. Therefore the materialistic scientific society finds that being centred upon the physical elements has got to come to an end, and is declining right now. So in Western civilisation, many noted scholars are predicting that western civilisation, as it is based on physical elements, is going to end. Then where can we find the better and newer purpose? As long as your philosophy begins from you and ends up in you, then you get no progress, no further, no newer thing. So you have to elevate your vision and move towards the source, the universal source. In the past religion gave man a very hazy concept of the universal goal. Spiritual matters seemed very hazy and people were in many cases confused. But today we have come to the time when the spiritual element is very clear and distinct. There is one cause and one effect. There is only one straight line between the two points. It is true that there is only one straight line not two. So far we have been taking up various directions, a longer way, a shorter way, and various ways, but going towards one and the same goal. To that end we have to start through one small gate and have to end up at one point of conclusion In past history, while the cause was travelling towards the effect, between the two there was a great deal of room to manoeuvre, so there was no problem. But when you come close to a particular goal, then everything has to be moved into a narrow gate. All these elements come to be so narrow and close th~t you have to be aware that the entire world is moving in you. So this is the end of the world. When the last

day comes, therefore, everything will come into one area and will clash and become confused. Many people who seek for money, when they obtain it, will find that money does not give them satisfaction. And the same thing with knowledge. All these things, whatever you have thought would give you happiness, will give you no happiness when you obtain them. You cannot really get happiness that way. That time I am talking about is now: now that state of confusion exists. So actually the entire movement is summarized, summed up in one arrow, one straight direction, and one goal. Even though many people cannot see a clear direction, there is one arro summing up the direction of history. When you come to this end then this direction will change. With this direction there are two areas. There is the spiritual area and the phy ·ca1 area, the mind and the body. When they become one then what will they do? All united ogether in one they begin the circular motion because they achieved the goal. You see the go • achieved so they do not have to go further. And there at that point the spirit world, ph · and both go together, and turn in the same direction. So the physical ·or position to revolt again; to collide with the spiritual, because the spiritual · subject to physical world, and the physical world is in a position to co-opera direction of spiritual. So we must be very thankful in our heart that our min - minds, have innate built-in nature to obey the greater will, the divine will. and the same direction. So we must realise that between cause and effect the that shows the direction of goal. The religions of mankind, the religio always been trying to reveal the direction of the providence of God direc _ to show that people’s conscience is drawn in that direction. This has bee It is my conclusion that when the direction comes to an end, we may y fulfilment in which the spirit world meets with the physical world purpose. They harmonize into one harmonized body and take up a ne make a circular m·otion of eternity. This is from a philosophical standpoin . The word ‘Unification’ or ‘Unity’ is going to be the theme of th concepts of history, one based on the spiritual element, and the o on a physical element, materialism, come together into one harmony. So in ord niz these two major parts of the elements of men we need a new religion and tha ust have the power or the capacity to embrace the entire universal phenomena, ;oh\’Sical That purpose also has a realism, a reality. In other words it does o but embraces the reality of the world. But the spiritual power · subject takes up the control tower so that it directs the entire ;ph1~nc,m,~na physical part of life and world. Then in order to unite all these spirit and physical, what will be the binding force? There philosophy, some principle in which we can find the providence define the spiritual world clearly. It is not money. It is not 1rn,nu:r1- , … power of love, power of love. In love alone all three differe fulfilment. The spirit is seeking for love. Our physical life is seeim~ So in love we find that everything is fulfilled. Our conscience of God and this direction represents hope because this goal · - at one point the cross junction where subject and object unite in o God or the dwelling of God. The central point becomes a co .• harmonize in complete oneness and unity. Spirit and phy · without repelling each other. This is the world of heart, this · in Korean ‘shimjung’ and this has really no equivalent ord · central point. In the heart all elements are melted into o spirit in heart can be physical as well as spirit, physical beco heart is a melting place, it is a melting pot, and the purpo of God · thing is melted into one element of fulfilment. So far people and philosophers and religions are trying to ind e solution having these two worlds separated. There has been the materialistic world, seeking · solution only in the material way. Here there can be no ultimate solution. And the spirit odd · seeking a olution only on a

spiritual level and here there is no probable solution. In one man, spirit and body harmonize. In one man the spirit and physical body exist together in harmony. The universal solution, therefore, must consider these two elements as one instead of dividing them. In order to make a circular motion there are always the two energies which must be active. One is the centrifugal and the other centripetal, and the two forces are interacting together to create the circular motion. One is pulling, and one is rejecting, and balance, the beautiful balance of these two forces creates the circular motion. If you have a centre, one force is trying to push out in one direction, the other force is trying to push in the other direction. So actually circular motion is one great big continuous give and take action between the two forces. Existence cannot be without having the two forces interacting together. This is our symbol and it shows the interacting two forces in eternal circular motion. But in order to make this circular motion possible there must be a pulling centre or holding centre. Unless this centre exists there will not be a circular motion. This centre can be said to be as subject and the circular motion can be said to be an object and if we are in action without relating to the centre cause nothing can truly exist. Let us say one line represents man and the other line represents woman. As you move faster turning speed is faster, and you become one. You cannot see two elements, there is only one element, one circle which you see and it becomes one by circular motion. The ideal is the speed, the speed of action, and this is the ay we become one and harmonize and unify. Peace we call in Korean ‘Pyung Ha . It h a deeper symbolic meaning in Chinese characters. Peace without harmony is no peace. Unle you have a core, a central point, it is going to be so disorderly that there is no motion at all. There is no circular motion. So in our life as I mentioned earlier we have a circular motion on the horizontal level, on the human level. We have give and take between subject and object on a human level and at the same time at the centre is the spiritual level, the central purpose of the l.lllrerse. So everything is made in circular motion. Everything has resemblance to moving in circular motion. From this principle, without circular motion, there is no eternity. Those who do not have a religion deny this concept of eternity. Also since a part of the circular motion is the spirit world, they deny the existence of spirit world, and they only recognise the body, the physical. Actuall tho who are without religion, without church, without faith, recognise less than fifty percent of the •orld. It is almost like being a woman, and all mankind consists of women. It is ridiculous · it not? They do not see the other half. So it is a pity they cannot see the full universe. It’ a pity. o we must come to this conclusion that there are two purposes for which we live. One is the vertical purpose, which is the universal and God-centred and a spiritual purpose, and the other is horizontal purpose. Let’s say that a line represents the horizontal purpose and the vertical line represents vertical purpose. Where do the two purposes connect with each other; cross each other? They have no way to meet. You know even though they cross, actually the two directions never meet unless they make up one circular motion. Unless we have circular motion these two purposes will never meet each other and fulfil the same purpose. So man and woman must have give and take together around a centre and this is how we meet, this is how we create a circular motion. So whenever two persons, man and woman, or even at work, two men as subject and object, together give and take in a reciprocal relationship, there is always God in action. We together make up the object for God as the subject. When you make up the absolute minus, automatically the absolute plus comes into being. On earth if you as man and woman together united in harmony and love you become one complete minus, then God, as a plus, automatically comes into being, comes into your life. The purpose of life, your life, is love. God’s purpose of life is love, the same for man and woman. The purpose of man, the purpose of woman is also love. In love everything harmonizes, everything joins together. When man and woman mature in the sight of God and they become one in a love that has no way to deteriorate, a beautiful and pure and perfected love. Love of God, will automatically come and dwell there. In order to make this entire world into one unity, then, we must give and take. This is turning, when you turn this 90° then horizontal lines become vertical lines, vertical lines become horizontal lines.

They can be exchangeable. In the end the national purpose must be parallel with the vertical heavenly common purpose. This is a result we are heading towards. The national goal is heading towards a universal goal, also the national purpose, and the religious purpose must be one instead of two. So I come to the conclusion that God is the centre of the nation, and religion and the nation must be united. This is the world of heart. There is no way to create the world of heart unless we go through the power of love. So when we are relying on the materialistic civilization or materialistic outlook this is very dangerous and very carnal, very shallow. So therefore self-centred way of life, material based way of life, is the way of life that leads you to extinction or self-destruction. You have to recognise the essential universal goal. Then set your personal and individual goal towards that direction, hitch-hiking on the big tide, the tide of human history, instead of trying to disregard the universal goal. Trying to make yourself happy in your own world of individual self-centred selfishness will never work. Therefore in the Unification Church, in the Divine Principle, you learn the four position foundation. When you are there, automatically you are realising the universal purpose. You have body and spirit, and the centre is always the position of God. So do not think. that you are all by yourself. You are three persons. Your spirit, your body and God. You have to discuss with the other two and not make a decision all by yourself. If you are trying to mo e thinking you can do anything you want, and move towards one direction, then soon you will realise you are making a grave mistake. So when you decide to draw the direction in which to o or hen you decide what to do, take a vote, a majority vote. So, in the Unification Church, fulfilment of our heaven is done by creating a foundation of four positions - God, subject and o ~ and children. When you discuss with someone on some matter, already you have a four position foundation, because you and your partner become subject and object which means that tomatica.lly God is the centre and there is a purpose in the centre. So four positions are there: God you, partner and purpose. When you deny the source, the centre, it does not become o position, and it will only become triangular - you, your partner and your purpose. So something · eking. You have only half when you don’t recognise the central source, God. From this principle of the four position foundation the entire u.ni,e em can be described. Everything fits into this principle. What is the purpose of tio The purpose o f creation of God is to complete or fulfil the foundation of four positio also orks in this fashion; we have two eyes but they actually fulfil one purpose. o e might be different things, but there is one purpose. And two noses; you have two nostrils ey combine in one central purpose. And the mouth; the upper and lower lips work o e er. Two ears, two arms; we hold something with both arms, we already have subject and obje the purpose and central nerve moving you. Two legs. From this principle we can solve all e problems of the universe because this is the basic truth. The position of the Unification Church today is to meet this historical requirement at this particular cross junction in hum history. This new religion therefore is not another duplication of the church. So in the philosophy and concept of the Unification Church we have the capacity to embrace all the elemen of life. We have a concept of national life. We have a concept of spiritual life and these harmonize in the purpose of God ; all these three in one element of the Unification Church, harmonized in one concept. So when you dwell in that purpose then you are living with God, living your national life and living your eternal spiritual life too. All three are one in the Church, in our Principle. I want you to know therefore that we cannot deny our life in religion because that is just like a man denying the existence of woman. Religion although it is spiritual has also to be scientific. So far, metaphysics has been handled in a hazy way. This is no longer permitted. Just as the physical world is scientifically organized so the spiritual world is scientific. So from this same point I want you to take a pride, to be joined, to be summoned by God int o the Unification Church. Whenever you walk, you don’t walk with each foot going in a different way, do you? There is harmony when you move each leg. Life in the Unification Church is one step in the spirit world, another step in the physical world. One arm with the will of God, the other arm with the purpose of mankind. The beauty of this universe is the beauty of nature. Beauty of structure cannot come unless

there are two lines, vertical line and horizontal line, and circular motion or circular shape. Everything even in this tent has an angle line and vertical horizontal line and then circular shape. These make up the beauty of the universe. Do not think religion is just a hobby, a privilege to have. Just like the meal religion is an absolute necessity. Do you understand? Then in religious life we have to move towards harmony, one great big harmony. That is our way of life. In the Bible it said ‘Those people who harmonize become the true sons and daughters of God’. This is so beautiful to Father. So actually, in order to harmonize, you, as a centre, are harmonizing the two persons or t wo elements. You are in the centre harmonizing two elements, so three elements are already there, centred on the will of God. So a four position foundation is established with God as subject, you are in the position of object, and you are moving, you are taking the initiative to harmonize - brothers and sisters. So we must recognise the value of religion. Our philosophy, our concept of the world must be different. You are now living a vertical way of life as well as a horizontal way of life. You are a vertical man. If you recognise this and live the truth then you won’t have to say that you want to go to live in heaven. You are already in heaven! That happens. So the extension of yourself becomes the universe. You are in the position of microcosm where the universe is the macrocosm. So join hands with your fellow man and make up this great big brotherhood. When you breathe please feel that you are breathing the entire universe, even God. While you are breathing, God is coming in and out; you are breathing God. When you move do not think ‘I just move myself. Think that ‘the whole universe that is upon me is moving’. Think big. Think big. This has to be permeated and manifested in every day’s way of life. o of all the things of creation, nature is the symbolic object and our fellow man is our direct object. God is our subject. Everything is related. God, fellow man, and things of creation. All things of creation are like your hair. The people are like your own body, and the spirit world is something like your heart or your mind and God is the centre. The whole thing harmonizing, moving, and turning. Of course you do not feel the sensation from your hair if you cut the hair, but still your hair line is connec ed into your body. The hair grows deeply and connects to your heart. Today science is developed in such a way that scientists discuss and analyse the contents of the hair and come up with the beautiful inner nature of that man, you know that? You also , you are always fond of looking at your own picture. When a group picture is taken, then you always find your own face first. . . . hy? Because you are looking for somebody close to you, resembling you. The entire universe re embles you. It is almost like an extended picture of your individual portrait. Do you kno that? And even little insects, little plants, flowers; look at them as an extension of your own life. It is the symbolic manifestation of your own self. We resemble God and God looking at his own likeness everywhere always feels joy. This is why you feel joy in looking at your own picture. So look at the world from that angle. Do not isolate yourself from the world. Unite yourself with the world. The body is reflected when you look at the tree. Please look at trees as almost symbolic brothers. You know, our heart is like a trunk, our stomach is like a root, and our lungs are like leaves. The function is the same. My body consists of water, my body cannot sustain without water. So do the trees, trees cannot sustain without water. From that standpoint look at your own world. It is so interesting, so much fun and lots of joy and excitement and you must feel it so that it becomes a part of your automatic life. You must feel it that way and this is a life of religion. If you live life like that you are already the fulfilment of the religion. Common people, outside people can talk, thinking about self-centred, narrow points of view of life, but here we are the all-embracing, with the universal concept of a way of life, in which the three major areas - spirit world, physical world, and purpose of God, are united. Great, you are in a position of greatness. You are so great that if the entire world will be moved you are an axis, you are turning the world, you are the centre, core. When you see this great value in the universe in sight of God you cannot permit yourself to become a slave to material things. You are not going to be passive. Always directed: do that, do that, go there, work this way, that way. You have more illumination than light. Therefore in our world nothing must be forced. It must be voluntary, willing participation, and you make your own judgment and harmonize in a common purpose. This is the beauty of

heaven. This morning I gave this teaching and this message because I am sure that even though you have studied the Principle you did not have the concept that day in, day out, your daily life, you were dealing with your own environment, that is a part of y ou. You did not have that realistic feeling. You have to start today. You are a son and daughter of God, true sons and daughters of God. Everything in this universe belongs to you. You have to relate yourself to all things and have God in the centre. All your organs, your vision, your hearing, your everything, touch all your senses, are available to you so that you can testify, you can truly communicate with the rest of the world. So our life must be a joyful one. You have to live in smiles. And when you smile all five senses move together. When you smile your eyes laugh, t he mouth laughs, your nose laughs, your ears laugh, the hand laughs, everything laughs, everything is in harmony. When you laugh all by yourself then there is something wrong. You ha e to have something to laugh at, something to feel joyful about so you need an object. So in order to have your object to give you a lot of cause to laugh then you have to be a person willing to give, you have to give perfected love. In other words in order to receive, your duty · to gtv~. If you give in perfection you are going to receive in perfection. So don’t just sit and •ait to be given. Begin to give. This is the whole scheme of creation. God created man so that God can give His total self to man so that he can expect the total return to Him. When you are trying o ceive something and you fail to receive then you feel very bad, it is a disappointment. But rhen you are trying to give somebody and the object does not receive but instead rejects. ·ou are not disappointed. You are still there and you still felt the joy of giving anyway, because our original motivation was just in giving. This is why: ‘Blessed are those who give.’ This is he happiness begins. Blessed are those who give, for they are all fitting into one basic. common, fundamental principle of the universe. I want to feel that. This is my conclusion. ·ant to feel important in the sight of God. I am a valuable person in the sight of God. To be aluable I have a valuable mission to fulfil. In order to give this blessing to you, history, and God have been mo · History has paid so much sacrifice, so much giving, so much effort, so that we all can realise this goal of life. I am proof of that history. History has paid so great a price for your life for ·ou to realise this great truth. So do not cheapen yourself. I am sure you understand, at east you have concrete understanding, of how important it is to have a life of religion, partictila:r y life in the Unification Church. When you love, this is the central purpose and will of God. ‘hen you love an individual you make up this triangle. When you love the family, when you lo e people, when you love the nation, when you love the world, then you truly love Goel Your value as an individual is increased many times over. It is all up to you: you decide your own capacity. So when you are in a,position to love, the more you love, the better you feel, and the more real are your feelings. Everybody wants to have a certain position, respected, and wants to have something to control. Well in an evil way we do it in a power struggle. But in a heavenly way we do it with love. Every man has to go to reach that goal. All mankind has to experience this joy in true alignment with the purpose of God. In order to give that kind of blessing to all men, you should always feel that your body, representing my body, can be a sacrifice. I was always willing to be a sacrifice. I had always been a volunteer that God may use as a sacrifice to achieve this goal. When you are very hungry sometimes, you forget about everything, you just try to satisfy your stomach, just eating. But once you understand this great concept you must be ashamed because even eating itself has a purpose. It is how you think, how you think about your own world that is going to determine your own world. The size of your value, your life, everything, depends on your thought. So we must be thankful we are blessed. We have gathered together here knowing this great truth of the universe, and we are the light of the world. Once you realise your own value then you realise your value as an object, so you pay respect and love to the subject. Suppose - our female members, I am asking you - suppose you have to create your own husband. Your husband is not there so you have to make one up. Your husband is all of your own making. You make the eyes, you make hair, sewing together

and putting together and coming up with a husband. How much, then, every time you look at him you are intoxicated with joy, for you are looking at your own creation. Suppose men this time think of your own wife and you make every bit of her, every bit of your wife. You make your own patchwork then it becomes so precious to you. So when you put yourself in the position of God that feeling becomes very real, because God created you. God created your wife. So in our human relationship we find all elements in a relationship with God; in other words the vertical relationship between God and man was horizontally expanded. In our human relationship, the true living human relationship, you learn everything about the vertical relationship. So when you only see the good things, a good life, and good results of good work, then you see the quality of God because God planted all good things in this world. When you gather all these things, that is the quality of God. That is, love, life and ideal. Religious life, devotional life, spiritual life, that is to live. Just carrying a Bible in your arm and going to church because people say ‘I go to church with a Bible, then I will be admitted into heaven. I am going to heaven.’ This is very simple too naive, too blind. You must know you are a part of heaven. Don’t wait for someone to send you to heaven. Create your own heaven. So in the future the more the knowledge of people grows, people with wisdom and intellect will be attracted by the Unification Church because our concept of the world is a future concept. Human history is not going to move any other way. This direction we have already pioneered and we are far ahead of mankind. o are you truly thankful? How much are you thankful to Father and the Unification Church? So when you have a complaint to make always direct that complaint to yourself. Do not put the finger to others but always towards yourself. Once you become a person, having God’s personality, you must live this personality of God, and nothing, nothing is impossible. You cannot complain. Once you live this life you become a source of happiness, a source of life, and a source of joy, a source of love, everything originates in you. You are a dynamo. You are a light giving the warmth. armth of love is permeated from you, surrounding all the circumstances that you control by your life. So this is why the kingdom of heaven is in the midst of you, as the Bible says. Have you created and completed the building of your own heaven in your o\Vll heart or are you doing it? We always are going to make excuses. We always want to pass the buck to others. ot me but somebody else.’ So when you really see this universal truth then our p t actions are so shameful you have just no place to put your own body. Expose yourself. Expo the shortcomings. Let it be known you have shortcomings in the sight of God and say Father, I am going to be like you Every day I am trying.’ When you really live this way of life, when you begin to pray and ask people to join you in praying, then actually you are representing the entire heaven and earth. You are in a position to bless them. You can even share the ble ing. That is not unhappiness, that is a fortune. That is really a fantastic fortune. I am sure that many people gathered together here meet me for the first time. I know, and may I tell you, you really do not know me. All you saw yesterday and today; how Father looks; his eyes, his face, his expression and his voice: that’s what you see. But the inner man of Father you never know. I am the subject of study. If you study me you are studying God. I am the material, God’s material. For your research material, you research upon me. Then you truly know God better. There are many unbelievable things that I do, many strange things that I do. But you do not see why I am doing them because your eyes are so narrow, so small. Actually if you open your eyes and see the universe and God clearly, then you can see clearly that what I am doing is not the strangest thing at all. How many of you British Family members have the courage to say ‘Well I will take care of this nation, this small island nation. I myself can take care of it. You all go somewhere else and work.’ Think big. Think big. Think real big and think in a great way and look at this nation as a very small task. I can step on the island of England, Great Britain, and I can shout out and the whole nation can hear. If it does not listen to me I can even punch and awaken it. If you listen to me I will give you love. I am the host and owner of Great Britain. Do you think God will say ‘You rascal.’ Not at all. ‘Boy, you are just like me, you know.’ God will say to you ‘What a big thinking man here. Big man. I like you because you are just like me.’ So far you did not think that way, but from this time on, today on, you must

look at the whole thing differently. Would you do that? [YES] So it is a competition. Each of you will have a goal to achieve. So really too many people are not necessary to move the world , to move the universe. In the sight of God you are on a scale. Let us say this 1s me weight of Great Britain. You are an individual here, but in the sight of God your faith, your universal understanding, your commitment, your dedication and love, the size of extraordinary love, are the heavier. You, one man, can really turn Great Britain upside down. Man will wake up. But today our weight is so lightweight and you are so pushed, and you are screaming, ‘What can I do?’ and sometimes you say ‘Oh boy, this road of life. Why should I live this hard way?’ Well you are a creator and without putting in your entire energy and your hard work how can you create? Now we are at the heart of the battle. The harder we work now, the greater joy you will have when you see the end result of your creation. The greater the hardship, the greater the joy at the end of it, at the end result. Some members might say, some female members might say ‘Well I am already 29. What can I do? I am already getting old. When, how in the world do I get married? When I look round at Father’s face, and all the news from headquarters, there is no mention of marriage. When in the world am I going to get married?’ Some men might say ‘I am almost approaching the age of 40. I am an old bachelor.’ So I will give you a secret to comfort you. Would you like that? Would you like to hear? Very simple. Let’s say you married at a young age, then suppose that your husband died. What would happen? You would become a widow. Then you have grief in your heart, and tears in your eyes, and you remain sorrowful for the remainder of your life. There is no hope. But instead, I give you greater hope. Think ‘Now I am looking forward to the great marriage. That God will give me a great man. I will fulfil the marriage in the purpose of God. I am going to have a great life.’ Every day you should wake up in hope and think this way. ‘My ideal husband is so ideal: God made us with such perfection, and he is coming here from so long a distance, that he will take time to get here.’ Such a positive thinker will be the winner. You have eternity to live, so do not be desperate. You know marriage is not going to be easy. Even with two men together, they have many differences, and it is not an easy task. So do you think you are ready to meet your ideal husband, ideal wife? Let’s say 10 years pass. In the meantime there is a more heavenly atmosphere, everybody will have perfected themselves, so we are much better prepared to become better husbands and wives. So do you grab just anyone to live with or do you let God perfect the world a little better? So do not worry about your husband. Do not worry about your wife. Prepare to go into the sight of God, becoming an exemplary character with the personality of God so that you are admired, respected and loved by people. So when the time comes, there are many candidates to be your ideal husband, or ideal wife. The person who is really recognised by the Father has a universal value. Maybe he is not quite so handsome. Maybe she is not quite that beautiful. But I look at a person’s inner mind, inner beauty, and I will assign the best possible husband, the best possible wife. Do you want to go out and search for your own mate, or do you want me to search and match you to your ideal mate? Which way do you want? [YOU! YOU!]. So if you want me to be a matchmaker, to bring you a good husband or wife, there is only one duty to perform - to be recognised by the Father. Of course I am going to have you get married, that day will come, but then I will be thinking of many people, from all nations. Therefore I am looking for a very exemplary sort of person, who can form an exemplary couple on a world wide scale. In order to find the worth of a man, I have to test him. Sometimes the best test is giving hardship. The people who only just complain will be shaken and will run away. Before you worry about your own affairs, I want you to worry about your fellow man, God, the world. You must be devoted to these things, to what happens in the entire universe, not just worry about your personal affairs. Do you think, when you pray to Father ‘I am in a position to succeed or to fail. How much am I succeeding?’ Suppose there is a great mission, and someone must die for that mission. There are thousands of volunteers, and they say ‘Yes Father. I’m going.’ Are you part of that group?’ [YES]. ‘Why? Why do you want to die for me?’ Because everyone knows that this is not the losing way. All the things I have taught you are not just theory and concept. I am living

that way of life. So do not worry about others, do not complain. The important thing to you is how much you can really live up to that exemplary pattern of God’s way. I am sure many of you came to England to test me, to find out about me, saying ‘I will make a decision after I go and look at him, listen to him. Then I will make my judgment.’ I am sorry that I did not come to be weighed by your scale. (Everyone brought their own scale). Leave your scale right here because it is too small to weigh me. I know you love me, but there are a multitude of people in the spirit world who love me more than you do. You don’t see this with your physical eyes. Life is short compared to eternity. I would like you to obey me completely still in your lifetime. Life is short, so I am not sure how much you can accomplish . If you are sceptical, however, you deviate, you go back and forth, and this is no good. When I went to America for the first time, I revealed my plan that I must be lifted up in America. I wanted to make an impact on America. I talked to some Senators and Congressmen of my plan, and they said ‘Well, this is a dreamer, a day-dreamer.’ They never trusted and believed me. So many Senators have worked so hard for so many decades, but how many of them are remembered by Americans? But I work in America for one year and seven months, and truly all America has heard about me. That’s for sure. When the subject makes a decision, it will be fulfilled whether the earth is ready or not. When you pray, make the decision to walk with your legs and feet in obedience. So in order to be known, for the sake of God, and because it is God’s decision, I know the quickest way. I want to solve the most grave problem of America. That is the quickest way. Solve the worst problem - the Watergate problem. I took that crisis on my shoulders. The second worst problem is the problem of young people, juvenile delinquency. So I thought that if I moved the American youth to a life of enthusiasm, vision, and purpose, all America would have to look at me, and think that my succe is a miracle. I want to create a small town or city that is completely populated by our youth. I want to mobilise not only the American youth, but young people from all over the world to make an international ideal city. The blessed couples here in Europe I am sure you are working hard in your way but I would like to mobilize everybody every couple, to America to that ideal city. I want them to have nice homes, beautiful hoo Let’s have many children to send to school to be educated as children of God. I ant o create an ideal city that is unique, having no comparison, no other example in the odd. en the entire world will take a look at this city. I am sure many people will come to me begging me o become their mayor. So I will have a great problem running away from the e requests. d hen our movement is larger, with more young people gathered together, we can even produce our own candidate for Senate and Congress. I want you to know that the Unification Church will definitely make an impact on the life of any nation. Then the time will come when I will mobilize (for example) 5000 Americans to come to England , find some beautiful land, and create one model city here in England. The time will come when I will bring many thousands of the International Mobile team from America to England. I think that England will be completely clobbered. I think 3,000 Unification Church members will completely overwhelm Great Britain. Every street will be flooded by us. This is not just a joke for me. This is the actual plan. This will happen. Do you think I can do that? [YES]. I want you to answer once again after you ask yourself ‘Can I obey Father 100%?’ Do you think you can do it? [YES]. One hundred percent. Are you ready to obey Father I 00%? That is the only way Father can achieve those goals, because he is depending on you. Can you do it? [YES]. We are the group of power. We are the group of hope. Whatever you wear, however trivial the work you are doing, this is the truth. If you suffer for your own self, you are ashamed. You want to hide the suffering. But when you suffer for the public purpose, for a greater purpose, you want to expose your suffering with great pride. Isn’t that right? So let’s say sometimes you beg for food. If you beg for food not for your own self, but to save the nation, save the world, then later someone will write this in your biography, and this biography will become your pride, your asset. Do you understand that? For the right cause, the more you suffer, the more willing you are to go the hard way, that is the right way. Whether it is an organization, or a nation,

they always pay respect to and admire the person who has suffered most for the purpose of that society. I do not know if you will understand this kind of story because in your own way of life it is unthinkable, but in Korea, when our members had nothing to eat, they were so hungry sometimes that they would go into the animal area, push aside the dog, and take the dog food for their own nourishment. And our members would say to the dog ‘I am sorry dog, but I have to do a better job than you do. You don’t know the will of God, but I am here to serve God, and he needs me, so let me have your food first’. All these kinds o f stories are part of the history of the Unification Church. If someone is incapable and foolish and idle that he could not sustain his own physical life and eat dog food, I think that person had better die. Actually, our young people in Korea are so capable that they can go out and really earn for themselves. They can do anything, give up everything, take every opportunity for God. They go out witnessing and preaching in the street, and while they are doing this, sometimes it is an absolute necessity that they eat dog food. When you hear an actual person saying this with his heart, I think that no-one can listen without tears. God, sitting on his throne must remember such instances; the suffering and even begging for the divine purpose. The divine purpose of God is not your shame; it becomes your pride. When I heard about hippies, and saw the hippy movement in America (I am sure there are some in Great Britain too), I thought that since they ~ so humbly, and they have nothing, having completely rejected the present world, they had the greater purpose of God living in their hearts co motivate them. If the purpose and motivation is righ they will be respected. People will say ‘America’s future rests upon these young people’. Don you hink so? I want you to become spiritual hippies, centred on the will of God. You mUSI There is nothing I cannot do’. Your suffering in your youth for the greater purpose of God shall be recorded in archives and museums. Your humble dress, your humble dwelling, your suffering will all be recorded in the museum one day. Have you ever thought that you are ch n an ancestor in your area, and in the future, tens of thousands, millions of people will folio your pattern, remember your name, read what you have done. And they will want to recreate the ork you have done. Like an actor or actress in the movies, you are the model for the future. Many movie actors and actresses will act out the pattern of your life, so you must m e your life dramatic. So that the actors will have something substantial to act out. If I really tell you how I lived in my younger days, I am sure that every single one of you could not listen without tears. If I suffered and did all th thin for myself they have no value. And why would you have to listen to someone’s o of suffering? But once your purpose is so genuine, so noble, so eternal, so great, then the more you suffer, the more you experience hardship, the greater you are. If your tears, your eat every ounce of your energy is given for the purpose of serving God and your fellow man, then indeed you are a hero in heaven. And without God you will never be great - without ide and faith in God. Those of you who have entered into the most central and most beautiful pattern of life; those who recognise the existence of God please raise your hands. Are you sure? [YES ]. If you really know that God is there and that God is living in your heart, then everything is solved. There is no problem any more. God is pioneering, he is still a pioneer, opening up the ay for the salvation of mankind. He is suffering. If you know that God Almighty is your father? if you know this concept clearly in your heart, then everything is solved, and there is no problem any more. If you know this, that almighty God, heavenly Father, is suffering for you, is orking for you, is sweating blood for you, then nothing can stop you. When you know this, then you must be humble. You are still not humble enough. This is where truth, true achievement, and a true goal that will not deteriorate wi.th the passing of time are found, shining from eternity to eternity. This morning I am very happy to spend this hour, several hours with you, but I do not want to take up any more of your time, and I have many other things to do. So shall we pray.

Our Heavenly Father, We are deeply grateful for this great message given by our Heavenly Father, by True Parents. Father, we are so insignificant, we are small, we are nothing; we are sinners, imperfect. However, Father, you have a great plan for us. You have a great love in store. You want to love us. You want to live with us. Father, we realise this morning that you have been suffering, working, pioneering to reach out to our lives; to lift up our souls so that we can be whole in your sight. So that we can be your sons and daughters eternally. Father when we learn this greatest love of all, then how great we become! We are chosen as the true sons and daughters of almighty God. You are our Father. No other blessing in the Universe can compare to the blessing of knowing you as our Father. Your great message this morning has overwhelmed our hearts. Father, let us this morning solemnly rededicate ourselves so that we shall not let you down. We will live up to your expectations. We will not lead a self-centred life. We shall live your way of life. You have already worked so hard, we will bring you comfort and glory. So that we can let you rest, Father, please give us your task, and take your rest. We will take it over. True Parents came upon the earth to show us a clear pattern of how we must serve; how we should serve God and mankind. We want to give glory and joy to True Parents. So let them take a moment of rest so that we can be the foremost champions of God at this time of human history. Father, European brothers and sisters have come here from all over Europe. Twenty-nine nations are gathered together in this room. Father, at this time of human history, the European nations are suffering the ungodly ideology of communism. Communism is encroaching everywhere, and demoralisation and moral degradation, and that old crime, human self-centredness, are spreading. Father, we are a small group gathered together, but we know, after hearing your great message this morning that numbers are insignificant. Only the quality is significant. Father, our faith and determination and our selfless giving should become worthy in your sight so that you can restore the whole of Europe using us as a handle, as a base and as a foothold. Father, we shall not let this Godless ideology trap the whole of Europe. We will bring hope to our country. We will bring hope and new realisation to our people. e shall be the force that shall turn the tide in the other direction. Father, we shall truly turn this continent upside down and right side up. The wrong side has been the ‘up’ side, but e must bring he righ ’ ‘de up. Father, our life is short. o matter ho loo e live, compared to eternity, it is nothing. This movement is a spark of light. Father, you us this life for greater purpose, asking us to become the sacrifice for your Kingdom. Father e ill respond to you. We say to you that it is a great honour to give this life for your Kingdom, for True Parents, for our Father in Heaven. We have only one regret - that we have less than 100 years to serve. Father we have only one life to give. If we had a thousand lives to give, Father, e would not hesitate to commit all 1,000 lives for the fulfilment of your will so that we could liberate your heart from grief. Father, we are grateful that True Parents have come to Europe to meet us in spite of their busy schedule. God bless our True Parents. Bless the European family and bless this continent so that we can mark a new age, a new era of fulfilment. On this holy day, Father, we give our solemn pledge, and all these things we pray in the beloved name of our True Parents. Amen.

Strategy for Spreading the Gospel around the World

Tonight will be my final appearance to you in this European Conference. You have been out in the city of London and I understand that you had a very exciting time in the demonstration for God this afternoon. I would like to give you, this evening, a general rundown of my strategy in spreading the gospel around the world. Throughout history, one thing stands out: that the world always recognises achievements. First we must have the potential, and then our potential must be developed into actual achievement, and that achievement is action which speaks louder than anything else. o matter how good a plan you have, in order to make that plan a reality you have to work and apply yourself diligently to the end. For example, the ideal of democracy is flourishing, but in the history of democracy there has been a tremendous effort made by many people to make that ideal a reality. But when you move forward with zeal and enthusiasm toward a new future and vision there is always some resistance because the establishment does not want to change. This is the basic attitude of society. Therefore when you move forward aggressively with new zeal, new ideal and vision you always encounter a certain resistance. The establishment will try to hamper and persecute you. Therefore a sort of sacrifice must be paid. Without payment of the sacrifice, no great ork can be achieved. Throughout history one truth shines out: that whate er the ideology, a group of people banded together in dedication, giving themselves totally for the benefit of others form an invincible force. And history has not found any ay to deter completely such people’s determination. The system of democracy flourishes only because it · founded on a Christian tradition. Only in the Christian tradition of giving, loving and serving could democracy have flourished. On the other hand the opposing ideology Communism has also been ;:,u~~,,..ful . Communism has a strong weapon: it is an attractive ideology based on economic theo , and is attracting the hearts of the people, particularly poor people. The theory of Marxism is clear cHt and appealing, and is winning the people’s hearts. Since economic life is inseparable from our daily lives, an attractive economic pattern naturally attracts power and attracts people all over the world. Within half a century, this formidable theory of Marx has brought down half the world. If communism has achieved everything through willing dedication and a sacrificial spirit of love, then there should be no power under the sun that could stop the spread of communism. In such a case, it could be predicted that it would take over the whole world in the foreseeable future. However, communism has a great deficiency. Communists have made their success at gun point; in other words, they operate through fear. Fear has been the motive for their work, not the dedication of love. These systems cannot hope to last long. With one dictator after another, people are really getting tired. It is the people who always have the final word, and they can never be completely satisfied generation after generation because people were not created to live that way. know communism very well. I have experienced what it really is, having been tortured and treated brutally by it. I have had a chance to study the ‘inner’ system of communism. It appears to me that communists have an inner discontent. They complain, causing a division which is not yet seen by the world. They have the beautiful ideal to unify the world. So they talk of International Communism. However if we look back from this ideal, we see that the conflict in their own camp is so great that the international goal is no longer attractive to them. Then within their own countries there is division. For example in Soviet Russia, Stalin was at one time an absolute dictator. He was a God in their society. When his power faltered, a new force tried to suppress the power of Stalin. In other words, new power tried to oppress the old power, keeping an atmosphere of constant friction

and division. The internal power struggle is so great that the true Communist tradition is breaking down. They talk about heaven, I mean about a certain ideal world, Utopia, but this has become an ideal on paper only, and the true nature of Communism is being exposed. They have failed to create a tradition in which the conscience of man responds willingly to total dedication and love. This false teaching is like a cancer. Now it seems attractive to young people, but soon, when its true nature is revealed, young people will no longer be attracted by it. What is the problem of the democratic system? The Democratic Society was established on the foundation of Christian Principles, and democracy has flourished due to the Christian spirit. However the Christian Spirit of giving oneself, and of love, have become self-centred. People could not look beyond the national boundary. So the Christian tradition never had a world wide following. What is the problem facing us today? It is the discovery of a new ideology that will truly bring God closer to man’s heart, and will wipe out the hazy conceptual ideas of his existence. An ideology which makes the living God more logical and more attractive in theory and reality than in past history. We do have a Christian background but we did not have a clear-cut understanding of God and the doctrines of Christianity. For this reason, there are so many divisions in the church, and the power of the church has been declining. So the leading position of the Christian world has been decreasing because there is no emergence of a ne ideology, a new concept of history which will embrace the whole world. There is no strong positive power. So both camps, the communist block and the free orld, both have advantages and disadvantages. One has a strong theory, but does not have willing personal dedication of love; the other does not have a clear cut ideology that encompa s the whole world. If the Christian world could come up with a strong ideology which ould make God an absolute truth and would show that the ideal of creation is God’s Kingdom here on earth, it would have a great opportunity to unify the world. Who is going to do this job? Today when you look around the world and the world churches, you see that each of them has had their golden age, yet none came up with this ultimate ideal. The Christian churches, regardless of where they are, are generally declining and are not in a position to accomplish the final work. There must emerge a new power and new spirit. The emergence of a church or movement that will put all the pieces together into one working dynamo that will move the entire world, and positively embrace every facet of human life. Who is going to do that job? The division between the Communist world and the free world is based on different ideology. One is based on materialism, the other on a God accepting ideology. We must come up with a new source of ideology. Who is going to bring this new thought. ew hope will be born with the birth of a new positive ideology centred on God. God and man must meet face to face. This ideology has appeared, and it is going to be the spiritual leadership of the free world. The decline of Western civilisation and democracy is due to the decline of the Christian spirit. The more the Christian spirit declines, the more will the democratic society be corrupted and lose its power. Also, the world is in fear of Communism, and in their minds, the people of the free world are already defeated by Communism. They think that in theory we cannot compete with Communism. The free world and the Christian world have been taking a defensive position instead of a positive and aggressive position. Of course the people in the free world do not want to lose the foundation which they erected so many years ago, and for which so many generations worked so hard. We would like to defend all this, but the passive way, retreating, and on the defensive, while the Communist world is taking every opportunity to exploit the free world, will not work. What we need is a new Christian movement that will turn the tide from defensive to offensive, from retreat to advancement. If such a movement is found, its power will be greater than that of the Communists, and it will overcome their ideology. The whole world will come under the new ideology. If any nation in the free world is mobilised and armed in the concept of God, a new way of life centred on God, and makes it clear to the world that it will be responsible for winning the victory over Communism, then the God centred ideology must win. Today no nation has yet chosen itself to be a champion for God and for this mission. The free world does not have a champion that says ‘I will be the one!’ Therefore if any organisation, or any group, or any movement, is going to come up with an ideology stronger than Communism, then this

group will be the master of future history. I make it clear that the Unification Church, led by me, will take up the challenge and the task. We will be one. Ones known as the task force for God, which will turn the tide of history. The entire world will be overwhelmed by a God accepting ideolog¼ and the living God. The Bible has been known as a mysterious book. No matter how much you study it you will not discover its true meaning, because it is written in symbols and parables. But the Divine Principle, and the Unification Thought have brought out the entire meaning, penetrating the hidden depths of the Bible, and bringing the entire plan of God’s history to light. We now have the basic weapon - new truth - and all we have to do is prove that the truth works and produces achievements. So far we have been pioneers, moving step by step. The pioneering path is not easy. We started under very adverse conditions and severe persecution. The last few decades, particularly the last two decades in Korea, Japan and China, have tested our worthiness, and our level of achievement has been proven on a national level. Now the main centre of activities is in America, and during the last year and a half we have been making an impact on America. At first, people violently objected to us and were critical of us. But now people stop and ask what gives the Unification Church so much power. What makes so many young people gather together? What makes them go like that so that they do not fear even for their own lives? What makes them so strong? Those countries who are facing the Communist regime continually like Korea now come to our movement to train their Government officials. It is now becoming common knowledge that the only way to stop Communism, and win over Communism, is the ideology of the Unification Church. The Christian churches in Korea have regarded us as heretics and outcasts, so the established churches have done their best to destroy us. They realise now that their persecution could never produce the desired result. They cannot compete with the Unification Church. Also, particularly nowadays, many intellectuals such as college professors and philosophers and scientists, have joined in the study of the Divine Principle from philosophic and scientific points of view. They are saying that this is the future human ideology, the big hope of mankind. So not only the churches, but also the academics recognize Unification Thought as the new ideology which is greater than Communism. Now many testimonies are given by college professors and famous philosophers in Korea and Japan, which say that the hope for the future rests on Unification Thought. There is no other way in which we can positively counter Communism and build our own Kingdom except through the ideology of Unification Thought. Yet still many clergymen and ministers are going to the professors and saying, ‘Do you know what this Unification Church really is? It is heretic’. Everybody laughs at them now so we do not have to defend our position. That is beautiful. We do not have to defend, because there are many others who will defend for us. I must say that the existing, conventional Korean church has been the worst kind of church as far as we are concerned. Their persecution of us was incredible. They were the worst in trying to stop the new emerging power because they knew that faith in the Unification Church would mean their doom. This is the ay they fought. However, we ignored all the persecution by the churches because we knew that the final sho down would not be with the churches, but with Communism. Politically, economically, religiously, morally, people are seeking a solution and in spite of desperate search no answer could be found. ow, however, the answer is found in the Unification Church. Korea was attacked by the Communists in 1950, and still their ambition to take over South Korea is prevalent in their thinking. The Government and the people alike know that only the Unification Church has the power and the truth to unify all the Christian world. Also it has the power to unify the world in peace and harmony because it makes the concept of God and the Kingdom of Heaven so clear. It has the philosophic answer to philosophy. Thirdly, it has a beautiful theory of history that will overcome the Communist theory. So since we have these basic powers of spirit and truth, once we have established a world wide organisation, a nation will come under our ideology, and whether the world likes it or not, God is pushing us to a position of leadership in the world. This is the ideology you and I have. This is the inner power which we have. When we are armed with the Truth, Divine Principle and Unification Thought, then no matter what the circumstances;

even in a debate with the highest possible philosophers and college professors, you have the strongest weapon at your side. Since we have this basic inner truth, all we have to do is to express this truth so that it can be manifested into visible achievement - something that all people must respect. In order to make such a visible achievement in our society, we have already been working for about 20 years. We do not force, we do not threaten, we do not operate on fear, but in twenty years we have created the tradition that those who come to know our ideology have the desire to devote themselves totally. They dedicate themselves, live a sacrificial life, and are even willing to give up their lives for the cause. All we need is the manifestation of their spirit on a world-wide scale. Then we will be in a position to mobilise all men and women of conscience, so that they can be our power. We are already getting such a reputation in Korea, Japan and China. The days of persecution are over, and people have to come under our influence. They are already seeking our guidance, and this has been very useful to our Church. They say, ‘These dedicated young people will save our nation. They are our hope’. The success I have made in America will become fantastic news in Korea and Japan; you wait and hear! Now in America I am covering all 50 States. The Unification Church is known in all 50 States, and reports and mass media are entirely mobilized to let the people know about our movement. We are winning co-operation from the leaders of the American nation in each State. Mayors and governors are sending their representatives, and sometimes they even show that they themselves are willing to support us by proclaiming a ‘Day of Hope and Unification’ in their State. The whole of America was deeply impressed by our Movement. Do you know why? Because only this Movement can deal with the ‘impossible’ young people of America, giving them new vision and direction in life, and making them into new people who are willing to dedicate themselves to a cause in a way unprecedented in American history. And all American leaders are just stunned ; they open their eyes in amazement and wonder at the power that can make our people like that . Throughout the Watergate crisis, America’s spiritual decline was very severe, and I made the declaration on the Watergate affair which said that America was being tested. America can only survive in the Christian spirit of ‘Forgive, love and unite! ’ As our young people spread this message over the country, there were many people of good conscience who joined in the ational Prayer and Fast led by Reverend Sun Myung Moon. The leaders of America including President ixon were deeply impressed by the organisation we have. When Reverend Moon made a decision, and pushed a button, then things happened within 48 hours. This is never seen in America. And people said ‘How is it that a orean preacher could move American young people, whereas Billy Graham could not mo e them! And they are constantly amazed at the productivity of our Movement. They ask ’ ere do they think that they can get money? They must be spending 200,000 dollars at least in each city. ctually we don’t spend that much money. We work in such a way that one dollar is worth IO dollars in our Movement. This is how we create miracles. Other people do not realise this, and h ere can they get money?’ Where in the world is the golden tree where they have it?’ What our Father is doing in America is something that has never happened in American history. No American Evangelist, no American crusader, no American religious leader has done such things, even in political campaigns. This campaign is unprecedented in every respect. Therefore everybody just shouts ‘STOP’. I am going around putting questions in the minds of American leaders. How did this thing happen? What is the source of his power?’ The F .B.I. send their agent, CJ.A. send their agent, the government sends its agent. They just want to know, ’ here is the source of his power?’ Isn’t it amazing that American people have no way to understand us because they have never seen such dedication in their history. They have never known that people can do so much. Therefore for them it is a mystery. But one day they will suddenly realise that our young people’s blood, sweat, hard work, prayer and fasting have produced this kind of result. I am sure that the whole nation will be deeply touched, and the whole world will be shaken. In the Day of Hope Tour, our German brothers and sisters were going street by street, and people were so impressed. ‘You come from Germany and you are working for America, my country, and in such a way!’ And a Japanese preacher was .so surprised to see Japanese young men and women come and work for a Korean preacher!

People look at us with suspicion saying that we get money from the Government, that we get money from rich men, that we get money from somewhere because they do not see the possibility that young people could do so much. The time will come, however, when the truth will be revealed to the American people, and then America will be truly moved. Suppose we come to a time when we have 600,000 people. What happens if God wants us to move into Germany. I push a button, and I know that within 48 hours 600,000 people will all go to one country. I say ‘Let’s assemble in Germany’. Then 600 ,000 come together in Germany and demonstrate in Germany. But our army will not go with a knife or a gun or a rifle. They go in Love and Truth. People will know that this invincible army has done so much good work in Japan and in the United States, so they cannot stop us. So once we are in that country, with our image and past record , 600,000 can turn a nation right side up in a moment. Let’s say 600,000 are gathered together in Germany. If each member is responsible for one home, to truly and unselfishly serve that home, then within a year, 600,000 German homes will be really upside down and right side up. But if each member is willing to serve more than one family, say five families, then within a year that will be 3 million German homes. There is no boundary of nation, no boundary of language, no barrier of race or colour. Speaking of the strength of this army;God’s army; it will be much more powerful than the armies of Hitler and Great Britain in the second world war, and the army of apoleon in France. So I want you to have confidence in your heart that we have such tremendous power. God has given the Truth, and God has given the power of Love. He has planted them in my heart, and has made me an invincible man of God. And you must have confidence that your ancestors are helping you. These people have already practised this way of life, and proved that it really works and produces results. Therefore you should feel that this is now your tum to do the job. Therefore you need to be disciplined, directed and trained. We here are brothers and sisters. There is no difference in nationality. We are truly world citizens, and one nation. We have to know how to work together. Under this ideology alone we can truly mingle together as brothers and sisters. By faith e are united into one. In the future we will also become one family by intermarriage. That wor has already begun. Let’s say that we will have our Unified Family all over the world with a membership of 50 million. If all 50 million come to England, we would be in the majority here. The reason I tell you this is that I want you to have some perspective so that you can see through the future. Today, the Unification Church all over the world is still in a minority. But do you kno that the formidable Communist world fears our Church? As a Communist leader, the Premier Kim 11-Sung of North Korea is the prototype of the worst kind of Communist dictator. orth Korea is desperately trying to cause war between the Government of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Unification Church because they see the threat of our Church to themselves is so great. They know that they must suppress our Church, and so they are criticizing us more than they criticize the South Korean Government. We take this as a compliment because they consider us to be so powerful, even though we are so small in numbers. Many people in South Korea who said unkind things about us, are now united with us because they know that the Communists are attacking us so much and that we have the power to overcome Communism. A time will come when everybody will say that the Unification Church is the defender of freedom. The reason I come to say all this to you is that my desire and ambition is to train each one of you not just to be a national leader, or a European leader, but to become a world leader. But first of all, to become a leader of the world, you must be armed with our truth. The truth is your eapon. In any circumstances when you represent the truth you should not be in a defensive position. You are in a positive position to give out the truth. You must start from the firm realiza ion tha e have a unique truth which is so powerful that God has revealed it only to us, and that this · th light and hope of the world. This kind of conviction must come to you. Are you feeling this? [ ‘] . You kno I am Tr orean. In the Golden e of estern civilization, the Asian people did not have much say in bing and in many cases ere treated differently than Europeans. But when I come here to Europe ants to do their best. Day in, day out, you want to do something more for m ot because I am handsome. It is because you know in your

analytical mind (the Western mind is very analytic - you analyse the situation before you come to a conclusion) that something very powerful is dwelling and working within me, and that if you join with me you will not lose by it. Right? [Yes! 1 My age is now going over fifty, and I know that I am successful in my career, not for myself, but for God. Jesus had a great mission to fulfil, but the people did not give him a chance. He died at the age of 33 - a young man. He had no fulfilmen t. Buddha and many other saints in religious history had only limited achievements in their time. But now God has given the opportunity to move East and West, North and South, so that I can start a new era in History. I am really succeeding. We are a new race of people. Once you join with me, you no longer retain the citizenship of your country. God knows that He needs us, and God summoned me, and I called you. Together we become one. God is the centre of wisdom, the king of knowledge. In His wisdom, God has chosen me to be his partner. He in Heaven and I on earth become partners in the great task of God. More and more in the passage of time, as the Twentieth Century turns into the twenty first , Reverend Sun Myung Moon will be a mysterious person. People will want to know me, but they will never know me. We are committed to an extraordinary task which will stun the whole world. Our Unification Church is the champion of God, so e will move into any Communist country as long as they leave the door open, and even if they shut the door, we will still move in. We are going there to force a show-<lown, and to shake the world. I have a beautiful plan. The Unification Movement will have its own territory. Soon we will have our own society, even our own nation, and I will declare to the Communist s ‘Let’s swop countries. Your people come to our country, and we will go to your country. We’ll live like this for three years, and see which system is better. Let the entire world judge and decide. That is our goal. We will give them an open invitation and you will be t he ones to show and prove to them the value of the life which we are living. The Communists always woo the labourers,the poor people -what they call the proletarians. But when ego to the Communist countries and talk to the labourers, they will sense more love and dedication and service from us than from their own Communist leaders. In order to achieve this goal hich has so many different aspects, I have to train you to be able to adapt to many different missions. When people are disillusioned, when they are disappointed, despondent, they are suffering and lonely. I want you to e perience the worst kind of sorrow that any human being has ever experienced. Yo u must be trained in experiencing this suffering. You must be trained to feel the worst kind of loneline~ that any human being has ever felt. Then when you deal with these despondent, disappointed and disillusioned people, since you will have had even deeper experiences than them, you will be in a position to truly comfort them, and win them over to your heart. Do you know what I am saying? [Yes!]. Paying lip service is cheap, but actually ‘doing’ is a real accomplishment. Unless you feel in your bones the meaning of sorrow and a t ragic life, you cannot comfort a person who is stricken by sorrow. If you want to comfort a man who has suffered , you will not be able to do that job very well unless you have felt, and know all about suffering. If you have felt true loneliness yourself you will not be able to bear seeing a lonely man without comforting him, lifting his spirit, and bringing him to God. This is my standard and criterion in life. I have experienced all things to the worst degree. So at one time I was t he most lonely man in the world. I was the most sorrowful man in this universe. I have suffered more than anyone else in the world. I was not lonely for myself, or for its own sake, but for God and mankind. This is how I laid my foundation. This hand is a relatively small hand. Yet with this hand there is no labour that I have not done. I was the best farmer. I was a fisherman. Wherever I have gone, whatever kind of work or profession, I know precisely what it is all about. At one time I was begging for food. Why? Because I knew that in my mission I would have to deal with all kinds of people, including beggars. During that time, my loving friends abandoned me. My relatives all abandoned me. Nobody welcomed me. The only home l found was jail. Do you think that I can destroy the people that once abandoned me? Now they cannot hold their heads high. This is the tradition set by me, and set by the early Unification Church, and this is the tradition which you are going to accept and uphold. We are going to deal with many kinds of people, particularly with the most tragic and lonely people of the world . We are

going to give them hope, salvation, and something to hold on to. In order to do this, you must be trained in that tradition. Put yourse·lf in the position of God. God wants such a man, such a woman, as his champion and co-worker. Don’t you think so? You will not be destroyed. You will not perish. Maybe some relatives or friends today point their fingers at you, and say, ‘You miserable wretch. You are crazy’. But tell them ‘You will never understand me. You will never understand my mission. But wait for ten years and you will see me in an entirely different way. I don’t have to invite you, because in ten years you yourself will come, and in your heart you will apologise for what you said today’. I am sure that some of you who attend this meeting will be despondent and will become disillusioned, and will run away. I know that some of you will do that, and I assure you that you are completely free to do this. The decision is yours. However, go where you like, but you will not find a better way of life. I have seen so many examples in the past. I want you to know that your participation in the Unification Church today is a historical event, and you are making history. The event of your joining the Church was a historical event. Today the world is despondent and has no hope. Do you have hope? [Yes!] .Yes, you have hope, even though today you have to survive on only a hard piece of bread. You have hope no matter how miserable you appear in the eyes of other people. I never complain. I am never disappointed. I will never be discouraged under any circumstances. ot because I am stupid, but because I know that my brain is working to a much greater degree. It is my ambition to make everyone of you greater than myself. When I look at your young faces, I always wish that I could be your age, still having my conviction and know-how. I know that I could shake the world. There would be no days or nights for me. If I pushed you to that degree I am sure no-one could stand it, and you would run away. Do you know Mr. Eu, former president of the Unification Church International who came to visit England a few years ago, and has now passed away. He had a bad lung and a disabled leg, and that man gave Divine Principle lectures for 10 hours every day. I told him to give his entire heart and soul in the teaching, not just giving or reading the book. ‘You must sweat.’ In the early days there were not many people who came to listen to Principle - sometimes there was only one man and one woman. ‘You must think that even that one man or woman represents the entire mankind, and you must give out your entire energy as you would do to the whole of mankind.’ Every day he continued his tough schedule. Sometimes he was so tired that he could not even go home. He just collapsed right there and fell asleep. I went up to him and kicked him. ‘It’s time for another lecture. Stand up and teach!’ I know inside my heart that I was cruel. For two years, six months I was like that towards him. I said ‘I will treat you as though I am a person with cold blood. I am going to do this. Whether you win and come out or not is your decision’. Why did I do that? Because I wanted to start a glowing tradition for our Church through that man. Today the Korean followers could not say anything like ‘I am tired so I can’t teach any more.’ Because that man overcame and fulfilled that mission, he became a hero. By the same token, all of you must live up to that standard. I want you to be heros in the sight of God. You are the representatives of heaven starting up the tradition for our Movement in your respective area. There will be tens of thousands, and millions of people who will follow your pattern. You are a forerunner of history. At this point in the history of the Unification Church, we do not need millions of members. We need leaders who are capable of setting up the beautiful tradition of our Movement. You, as a missionary in a foreign country, are putting in that country the footprint of God. I want you to know that that footprint must be regarded reflected, admired, and loved by the future generations of that country. For three years at least you may not be able even to take off your tie and clothes. You will be on a battlefield. You will just e up and run. ow I am wearing a good suit, but before I wore this suit, I wore that of labourers appearing in humble shoes and dress for many years, I wore some Korean trousers and a Western ja e and almo looked like a clo n. I appeared like a clo n and in that humble dress I stood up on a podium and g e really soul-searching Sunday sermons. any guests who heard about our Church came to listen o my sermon, and then afterwards asked ‘Is that your leader? Is that your Founder? The couJd hard beli . e it. Some ime I worshipped side by side, sitting on the floor with guests ·ho came, and hey ne. er kne me. They did not even have the faintest idea that

they were sitting next to the Founder of the Unification Church. One day when our Church was known all over the world, an American magazine reporter was sent by headquarters to Korea, to request an interview with me. He came several times but he could not see me. His desire to see me was so great that he even stood at the gate to grab me as I came in and out. On Sunday he came to attend the sermon and service, awaiting the appearance of Reverend Sun Myung Moon. I was sitting next to him. After two hours of a long service he was so anxious to see me that he went out. In the end he he never saw me, and was disappointed that he never interviewed me. It is not you who make yourself great. If you serve the world, then the world will lift you up, and God will lift you up. When God recognize you that is real recognition. Don’t just say words but rather resort to your deeds because actions speak louder than words. Patience is a virtue in our Church. Some people can be patient for 10 years. Others for 20, still others can be patient for an entire lifetime. Others not only sustain their patience for an entire life but teach their sons and daughters to add to their own achievement. Would you like to? [Yes!]. One of the characteristics of our Movement is that e are going to be mobile. We will be recognized for our mobility. Today it was an easy trip for you to come to London. Who knows, but next time I might go to Iceland. Then everybody will come to Iceland, or I may go to Greenland or the North Pole, and everybody must go there. We are =,oing to set that tradition. This is the Movement that is capable of one hundred percent mobility ·thout paying anything. We will not pay salaries, we will not pay for gas or cars, we will not p _ · f: es. I am sure that even Hitler paid some salaries. So we must go beyond that standard. e will come a totally selfless organization mobilized for one great purpose: moving to one nation to that nation. Next year I am going to bring 1,000 Western members to Japan. Let’s think o .. o e picture. Think of one Jumbo 747 carrying hundreds of members. But think of mobilizing j one Jumbo 747, but two, three, a whole fleet of Jumbo 747s. They will have our sign and ult one nation. We are assaulting that country to serve it. When we land , the whole coun be moved by our young members who will show love and sacrificial duty. Other nations · ir ministers to Rev. Sun Myung Moon and ask ‘Could you please send the next 747 flee country?’. That day is not as far away as you think. Therefore we must learn, we must exp · y things, and we must become models of how to serve others. That is why so many · are being sent out. You must prepare your respective nations so that they can welcome - ..·-·’”ional Mobile Crusade. An exciting day is coming, and let America pay the expeJ?:;es.

Why do we have to be humble and meek? · in the Day of Hope tour in America. We need the theoretical truth. We must kno e mi ion of true goodness and evil. Good is with God and evil is with Satan. In order to be wi God em be in the likeness of God, we must bear a resemblance to him. The result of your ;ud e ( hether you belong on the side of good or of evil) depends on you. Even if you are tronger on the side of goodness, then you belong in the Kingdom of Heaven. So far there have been many definitions of good and evil en a new King or Ruler establishes his justice, he decides what is good and evil in that society. But we are not interested in rulers or any human view of good and evil. There is only one definition of good and evil that is eternal, unchanging, and absolute. That is the definition of God. There was a time when God was all by himself before the creation of man and the universe, and so God had nobody to care for but himself. What is the creation? The creation is nothing but the manifestation of God’s object. As a symbolic manifestation of God’s object, God created the visible universe, and then as a direct image of his object, God created man as the centre of the universe. If God is almighty and all powerful, then when he dreams and plans his object, I am sure he creates it in the best possible way. There is no limit to his power so his entire dream can become reality in his object. Therefore the purpose of the creation is to manifest the ideal object of God.

Before the creation of man, God was self-centred because he had no one else to care for. But the moment he created his son and daughter, Adam and Eve, God’s life completely changed. God began to live for his object, and this became the purpose of God’s life. An ideal existence can only come about when the subject is living solely for his object. This relationship comes to have absolute value when the object exists solely for his partner. In other words, selfless existence is the ideal in this world. Therefore, who is the ideal husband? The husband who thinks that his purpose is to serve, love, and make his wife happy. What is an ideal wife? The woman who thinks that the sole purpose of her existence is for her husband. That means complete giving. Absolute, unselfish giving. True parents are the parents who think that their sole existence is for the well-being, and happiness, and love of their children. True children think that the sole purpose of their existence is to return love and glory to their parents. The true patriot is the person who lives a selfless life for the purpose and well-being of a nation. Who is t he saint? He is the man who lives a completely selfless life for the well-being of his fellows. So God planned the universe in such a way that the right way of life is a selfless life for others. God gives out 100% of his energy and love, and as the object receives that 100% of energy it grows into maturity and returns more than 100% of love to the origin. When you give selflessly, you receive in joy, and complete harmony and unity come into being. What is the Kingdom of Heaven? The Kingdom of Heaven is the way of life in which everyone thinks that they are living selflessly for others. When you give absolutely, an absolute return is guaranteed. When God created his object, do you think that he would have his object weighed down in something trivial? No! God wants His object to be even better than Himself; There are many young men and women here. Some day you are going to get married. When you look for your mate, your husband or wife, you always look for something ideal, something better th:in yourself. Where does this human characteristic come from? From God. We all resemble God, and that kind of pattern of thinking comes from God. When God created His own object, He not only wanted His object to be the best; He wanted it to be better than Himself. If God only projected 90% of His energy, He could only expect a return of 90%. But God did not want imperfection. He wanted more than 100% in love. Suppose you are loved by someone 100%. How many of you would be stingy, just returning only 80% and keeping 20% to yourselves? Human character does not work that way. Don’t you feel that if you were loved l 00% by someone, you would want to give more love than you received. Isn’t that right? Because 9f this quality of the original human mind, the restoration of the world is possible. This is why all the religions of the world have been teaching a giving and a serving way of life. A life of investing your whole self. When you invest your whole self, heart and soul, a return many times more than your investment is guaranteed. This is the source of the definition of goodness - from the way of life of God . When you know the truth and you read the Bible, all sixty-six books of it, it all becomes meaningful. You can understand why Jesus said ‘He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it’. At first this almost seems like a paradox.· However, this is the way of life of God . Therefore those who pa~tern t~eir lives after the life of God will be remembered by Him, and· w_ill be prosperous, because the creative energy of God is working in them. · If you have ten friends and serve . them unselfishly day in, day out, you automatically become centred on ten people. If on the other hand you ask them to serve you and to take ·from them for your own benefit, everybody will run away. ·when you serve others you become prosperous because all ten people go out and try to get more people to be under your 1nfluence. Evil self-centred existence will eventually bring you to self-destruction. We must know this. When you are determined to serv·e other~, they will return your service, and this is the direction of good E ii is precisely the opposite of goodness, that is evil is taking from your surroundings for your o benefit If amo · h and and ife the husband says ‘Wife, you must serve me’ and the wife says ‘No! e me.· then there is a distance, a separation between them. There is no unity or ch re tionsh.ip. If-centred individuals, self-centred families, self-centred societies, all represen evil So oday I ant you to know clearly the definition of good hl yo can · God is by practising His ay of life, a life ·o f service and self!~ o~ hich you can make God yours. This is the power of

Unification, and of the truth that will unify the world. For the salvation of the world in the name of God we must invest our whole selves. Then God exists solely for you. Isn’t that great? Evil says ‘You serve me’ and ‘Mine is mine, of course, but yours is mine too’. This will eventually lead to self-extinction. This is the secret of how I have become a prophet. If you follow my example, you too will know the future. If this does not work then my entire teaching is false; but it has been proven and tested over and over again. This is the only way in which we can take the world, the only way we can own God , and become one with God. God has been teaching this principle throughout history. Europe is your stage, and you are going to give your entire life, heart, soul and mind for the benefit of the whole of Europe. From this extraordinary point of view, you can confront everything, even the evil ideology of Communism, and know that it will retreat before you. All men were born for women, and all women were born for men. Some might think that they don’t feel too good and want to live for themselves. But you must not think that way because the fulfilment of life is in love and ideals, and if these words cannot give fulfilment then it is you yourselves who have failed. Love is not yours. The ideal is not yours. The words love and ideal only come alive when you have someone to love, someone to share with, someone to hold. Love comes from your object and to make your life fulfilling you must make sure that you are the first to initiate action. Love does not belong to man and woman. Love comes from your object. And you need an object to fulfil your ideal. The value of life, centred on this unselfish love, is greater than that of the universe. In the universe there is nothing you can give in return for such a life. So the size of the goal for which you commit yourself will determine the size of your value. You need a really universal purpose in your life, and if you commit your life for that greater purpose, then the value of your life will be elevated to that level. The greatness of man is determined by the size of his love. We love God, we love mankind. This is the Unification Church. As long as you uphold the truth, no matter what persecution, no matter what obstacles you come across, then your position in posterity is guaranteed because no-one can knock the Principle of God down. Do you understand that? [Yes!]. The entire universe is your stage, presenting a great opportunity and challenge. God has given you the greatest blessing of all, but that blessing does not come alone. It comes with responsibility. You have a sacred mission to fulfil for the sake of others, for the sake of other nations, Europe, and the rest of the world. Be patient, persevere, always be hopeful and optimistic. Will you do that? [Yes!] In order to do that, our way of life must be superior to the Communist way of life, to the traditions of all the religions which history has evolved. We must create our own Church to practise this way of life. We must create our own nation. We must create our own atmosphere and environment. This is the road for Unification Church members to follow. The whole of Europe, no matter what happens, will come under your leadership because for Europe to survive, it needs you. You have been chosen for a historical mission: to be a champion for God at the Cross-roads of human history . When you go back to your missions tomorrow, don’t forget what you heard tonight, and always refresh your memory. March forward to bring back great glory to God. If even I falter, don’t worry. As long as we have a feeling of love between God and man, and a goal for mankind , God will never let you falter. No matter how painful things are, how much persecution you receive, or how anguished you become, do not be deterred by those things, and do not let them hinder your progress. I trust you. I have come here to talk to you this evening for the last time before the Conference ends, and I really trust you, love you, and know that you will never let God down. I have to go to the next destination on my busy sched ule. That is my job because I must lay the foundation on which you can achieve more. God, our Father in Heaven ; may God the Father bless everyone abundantly and forever.

Oh loving Heavenly Father, All this evening You have given to us, Father. You have wanted to say these things for 6,000 years to mankind, but could not say it because the people were not ready, and there was no champion who could truly represent You. Father, in the embodiment of True Parents now, You have found your champion on the earth, truly representing Your heart and grief, and telling us what to do. This is the only way of life, not only for ourselves, but also for the world. This way of life will liberate You from your grief which has been so great. Father, we have heard Your message, and we give You our pledge that we will live every word that You have spoken, and never let one word go. We will reap from this truth in every area of our mission and bring greater victory to You. Trust us. I know that throughout history You have been disappointed by man so many times, by man’s distrust, lack of faith, dishonesty, wickedness and futility. Father, we shall become examples. Even though we may not be as wise as the wise men in the past. Even though we may not be as courageous as the courageous men of the past. Even though we may not be as diligent as the diligent men of the past, but Father, trust us for one thing. That we will never betray Your heart. This we pledge and swear. Father, the representatives of 29 nations came here and spent a beautiful three days with our Heavenly Parents. Let us go back armed with a great and strong weapon, that of truth and love, so that we shall serve the people we are responsible for So that we can become an example, not only for Europe, but for the entire world. Father, we humbly give You our deep thanks for being chosen by You to be your champions, to accomplish the greatest task of all - the fulfilment of human history. Father, we thank You very ~ much. Our hearts are ready, our bodies are ready, our minds are clicking. Father, we will mobilize them all together for the greater victory of our True Parents. So Father, give us Your blessing. Give us Your heart. With that heart, nothing is imposstole. We shall become an invincible army. Father, we proclaim our thanks, we proclaim our joy, we proclaim our rededication to You. We shall become Your sons and daughters, and shall remain Your sons and daughters from here to eternity. Thank You very much, Father. We pray these things in the name of our True Parents. Amen.
