As you a.lre,~:dy k:10w very well throur;h the Divine PrinciDJ.e i-ie It is our u.~<~ c:cstir;,::-d to fight a.[:ainst world wide Co;:1.rnu..i1isrn. job> noLody else 1 s job. The evil religion of CoJrJ.:i.mi::.:;m can be countered by the right r·eligion, but religious people are the ones who a::.-·e supposed to be on the f or 2front in the battle but they are 1
not c1oing i-t.
If in Korea Christianity did not come against our movement at its outset, even Communism would not have had a chance to grow in this world. Thirty years ago then our movement would have been so strong; the world wide impact would have been felt at that time.
We can deter the spread of Coinmunism. We can Peally push their power to the corners of the world. So at that time, then, God wanted to have America united together with Father 1 s ideology to bring the end of Communism. But since i t was not done due to the failure of Chri~tianity, or by the failure of the United States, now on Fath~r’s o~m aole shoulder has the entire nation come.
It’s the Principle that when the nation failed and when Christianity fc_iled, no-vv the Unifica-tion Church and Fa·ther’ s leader- ship is laying the foundation from the very bottom and bringing i-t up. Fa:ther 1 s in a position to restore the church, r•esto_r-,2: t:2e nation; and ·then resto:ce the Cor;1J:rn.:nist world. That I s Father: s mission. That is the Unification Church’s mission. That 1 G Hhy the Crnrununists all over the world have as the target of hatred, our Father. Because that’s Principle again. Father is the ultimate targe.t of Communists.
Right ·now three elements are coming against Father. First~ The Christian churches; second, the American public or American na-tion; third of course Communists.
So therefore, we are reversing the trend one by one. By having the Yankee Stadium and Washington Honument rallies, He are going to win over the hca.rt of America so that the Christians will become different. t\nd the attitude of the American people and governments toward our .movei:1•2nt will become different. Then to get united together with these elements. The U.S. and our movement together will be in a posi·tion to really deter and fight against Communism. They will swing together.
The Corn. munists .know our true potential power. They fear us most that I s why they know this is the right tir:ie to crush us. They are behind all those accusations and plots instigating all those liber’al fr onts t}1at: are. trying to reaJ.ly clobber Father’s 1
movement at this p~rticular t~ne. They are all out to get us.
So in all diff’erent areas of f.J11c..rica, Father would like before YankEc Stadium, to lay the foundation of good relationships with the local lead~rs. The most import211t relationship we would like to make is with the police force, prir::a.Pily police elements; also the intcllcctua.ls and younr; peopJ.e. So getting ·the cooperati.on
). C of the police is very important. 8et tin[; the understc.1nd.in[; of th(! police is important, because once th~y understand our motives th~y are in a position to truly welcome our movement. 11.7.kc them w,dco1.:2.
Go to college c~1puses as much as possible, and contact professors and young people. Then we lecture to them What is Con~unism? We should teach them a.bout Communism, the ·threat of Co.rn.r:11.mism. 1·7hat is the true entity of Cor:ununism? So then with the Comnunist Critique coning, with that point getting deeper and deeper with the Unific0tion Ideology, then going to Divine Principle itself, then they can becor;;e our meI;1bers. I’m su1°e you must study more so that you can become a teacher of Unification Ideology plus Divine Principle. When you can lecture the Unification Ideology then you become respected in the university circle. Together its the most beautiful and dynaJnic academic theory. It 1 s a philosophy. You are on the top. You are the rev~lator of the most giant philosophy.
Cooperate wi·th the pioneers, so that whatever they are good at you like them; whatever you are good at you will help them. Collaborate to work top;ether as pioneers. Since you completed 120 day training, which includes all aspects of life in our movement you know Divine Principle, Unification Ideology, and fundraising. So you are like a pioneer on a different level. So please have an established foundation in the state. Use the foundation as your base and work out of it. Later on we will have an independent general organization. You will have your independent place and different activities. But right now until you establish your own foundation, work together.
So you must be specialized in Unification Ideology for Victory Over Communism. People will corne to see you. You will contact or start from a different approach. You will start with Victory Over Communism. Other pioneers start right out with Divine Principle. You approach such people who have a more politically or-iented ideology, so that with Victory Over Communisri-1 Unification Ideology you can bring them into Divine Principle. So wherever the people enter they end up with the same results. They start with the Unification Ideology, I mean sta1.,t with Victory Over CoTP.rnunism then they go through and end up in Divine Principe. . Arid when they start and learn Divine Principle, then they end up learning Unification Ideology and Victory Over Communism theory. Sq all come together.
The Unification Chruch Divine Principle is in the position of of the inner mind of man. Arid your activities are external. So this is in conjunction between mind and body going hand and hand together to accomplish Father’s will. In the future your activities will be more politic~l. So you can be in a position to lead the politicians and statemen and government officials. Ycu must have the power and ability to deal with these people and influence them. The church is giving internal spiritual Euidance and teachings but you are giving some external ideology that is really making an impact in society and vertical life.
3 AJ.so, you must p2cpu:C e your-:;,~lf welJ. for both 2.reas. 1 Unl.css you are very int,2rni!Jly good ycu cannot be good e:-:ter;1alJ.y. So if you a.re externally good 2ad i.:1te1’nolly \-1cll, teaching th-::! Divine Priincip1c, you can ccrt2inJ.y l.10 s2J.eclf~d fori state J.cc1dcr and c?runander. You can occupy such a position in the fut~re. People w.111 be o.ttracted to you. prin,n’ily for political ideology. Sut . they end up learnin~ Divine Principle eventually, because yot..:r conclusion is always — without God our truth is nonexistence, or right life if God-ccnter’ed, or without knowing God how can we be a good anti--comr:rnnist. So, the God denying ideology c2n only be ovcrco1ne successfully by God accepting ideology. Making God real in the human heart that’s ~~1at you are doing. That’s-the relationship between the·church and your work .
. But right now you’ll come under the church leader until you make up your complete independent operation. In other words don 1 t be in a position to struggle for subject position. Let him be in overall subject position until you are in your specialized position. Because cooperating with state leaders is a very essential asset for you because there are so many church members coming in our cl1urch you need those people for your crusade don’t you? You need help from them. So just think one is inside and one is outside like one person with one mind and one body. The mind is always subject.
When worship time comes on Sunday morning you must always come as a devout member and contribute to the church service. Sorr,etimes the church leader may ask you to teach Divine Principle. Don’t say, I didn’t come to teach Divine Principle. Don’t say that. You cooper ate., put yourself in -’-che position to ·teach the Pri:.-iciple 1
all the t:u;ie. You can evaluate the person you contact. If tha.i: person is more religiously oriented, then bring that person to Divine Princip).e. And if that person. is more vertically oriented then start from Victory Over Conununism. Do you understand? (Yes)
This is a critical time in American history so i;-;re do not have too much time -to work. No relaxation is permitted be.cause time is so crucial. Actually Father has a plan to dispatch to all 50 states; with you i t will be 24 or about 50%. Later on you are part of the backbone to even create our political party. Lay the foundation bebome friends with the congressmen, friends with senators. So aJ…m high dontt shoot for the little guy shoot high for the big guy.
Don’t go to the janitor of the college go to the president of the college. You have to go to the thinking person. You have such a dynamic ideology, such a beautiful tru--’ch; nothing to fear, aim . high. Even to the president those who really have a heart and intellectual mind. In your.beautiful theory they’ll be intoxicated. They laid the social foundation. College presidents and adults, congress~en and senators, by becoming one with them your already on their level. Use their foundation as your foundation, aim high and shoot high. So use them as a stepping stone, so that you can move faster.
.l{ It is far better to contact the influential person who has certain or 6 2.nizations s1.1ch as a group. Once you infh:cnce tlli.s pe!’.’son then under hin there are so many people, and you can have a flroup. So if you are friends with the university professor and the college president, for example, then thrqugh his influence you c2.n meet the most famous important professors you can say, would you introduce your professors, would you introduce your faculty mc~bers, don’t you think it is so vital, that everybdoy should have a right to know about this. Let me have a chance to speak to your faculty group or your student body on all kinds of big occassions, any big event. So you should shoot high, aim high, do big things.
Also say; I don’t want to ask you to give me money. I am going to lecture not for money. So don’t worry about paying your money. Don’t you see this nation is needing this movement? Don’t you see our country our national heritage could be greater by know- ing this truth? So why don’t you have even an hour at lunch time. Won’t you gather some of the members of the faculty and have some special occassion for me to come to give some briefing, instructions of what I know, what I want to present. Without knowing Corar:iunism, their true entity, how can we overcome them? We speak of young people as truly knm-Jing nothing about Communism, so we must educate them, we must let them know.
By 1977 Father thinks if we will lay the ground work, lay the foundation by 1977 successfully, then it is ce~tain we will have the FBI and CIA, those who are involved with national security, recognize our movement. They will rally with us because they need us then. So when you become a friend of the mayor of a city, then you can do all kinds of things. You can have special seminar on the Threat of Soviet Russia, their attitude, and we can make a ~pecial demonstration and rally, conference so forth. Police and school, Father says, University and college are_ important.
The next target is the labor union. This labor union is a good channel where the Communism can be nurtured. Labor union is more liable to become dependent and more under the influence through the Communist ideology, so there we must pay extreme a·ttention and collaborate with the police and education in the universities so we should have a certain impact. So always we.are going ·forth with unions and police. Father has proven this in ~orea and Japan, that is why he is emphasizing this point. The police cooperation is very important, and also colleges and universities. Because we.need that manpower young people and youth. That’s how the Communists work. Disrupt college and unive1~sity· ca,,,puses that’s cmnr.mnis•t bloc; so we go there we biock the entrance. Also for the Corrununiss revolution in a police state they always aim at the police. They nullify the police or they destroy the police. They know that everything will fall into their hands. So we must become friends with the police.
In rna~y cases in the world the Co~muni.st revolution started in the under~round. Then they grew end tltey successfully won the national power. We don’t have tc go undcr~round we do it in broad dayl:i r;lit. How much aclvanta.ge do we have? The Cor;1rn1!1ists are working 24 hours a day so that they can see some little bit of room to go in and they make it straight co~ing in. They al~ays look for the weukness and check. This is how the co:rmnunists ~wrk. We must even outdo them, this is our mission. There is. no time to think about this courtesy and that courtesy. You just go forward. Under those circt:mstances you would never i:12.ke a breakthroug:-,. When you think the chance is here, then the best thing is to go straight for0ard, get the advantages.
All human beings are basically the sa.Jne when you take off your clothes 2,nd go to the bathroom; everybody looks just alike Even if they’re senators, governors or mayors, all the same. So’think of them not as a mayor or senator, but as my brother. Say this is my uncle then your heart is very easy on them. They ceptain become friends. I like you, you can say, you are like my uncle and I love him.very much, I miss him very much. Your just like my uncle so can I call jou uncle? You are like my old teacher, boy that teacher was so good to me, now you’re just like him. I really like you. Even if they’re a governor and mayor it doesn’t make a difference. Use those kind r2marks, truth remarks. They must have sons your age ·(the older politicians), well rtm like your son, I’m your son’s f1,iend, I want to become a friend to your son, become your f ainily member. So through the children, of congressLlen and senators the father becomes a close friend, it is easy to cooperate with their father.
So everybody J.ooks for friends and a f:::-iiend is very precious. You want ·to become a good friend you don I t have to have much persuasive work to do. Just you are already there, inside their family. People evaluate from two angles; whether I lose by· associating with the man or whether I receive something from this man, you put yourself in a position to benefit them. Give them something.
If you think, there are many, many things you can do. Say if there is a very important person in the co:rarnunity who is sick, then there is a very good reason to t2ke flowers and visit with them, comfort them. You present yourself if hets in.the sick bed. You never met that man for example, the governor, then you.come at a. .certain time and you go there with flowers and present yourself. Say, I am an interested person. Many persons have such a good opinion of you and I respe.ct you veI’y much. But you ar•e in a sick bed, and. I certainly want to pay my respects and since you’re such a wonderful leader I really want to pray for your.fast recovery.
So all people, their \·:hole body is nothing but ego, so, pacify the ego put them up in cloud nine. You see then they will .iJnmedia·tely open the door> for you. Also, youi, message has to be very tactful. The other person is always trying to analyze the other 1Jerson to see if the person has an impression. Let them enjoy lt, do not try to blast them. If you don’t listen to me and you don I t know about “this then you’ re~ goir..g to die. You’ r•e ~oing to end up in hell, and that’s the end of it, you’re never going to see hirn again with no second chance. But the important thing is
r;ood fr-ic.nd c1lw2.ys develops the seco.nd ch,:rnce, thir·d cha.nc,;, fourth ch2-ncc. A better ch2nce, the frcquen·t chances, that I s the successful one.
The study of .17la.n is the most ·profound subject of study. I f in your mission if you really work hard to become a Ph.Don man you will become an absolutely zreat leader. There 1 s nothing you can’t do, nothinz; you Hill face all and succeed. You know the Principle, you know the art of dealing with man. Certain principles, you use that fo::.~;riula, expanding it so that you can get ou·t of a situation the maxi.r:1um give and take.
So you are like.a painter. Think you have a canvas. Here you are painting, you are trying to create certain area. A certain man and certain face and so forth and so forth. You have a total scheme you don’t have to rush. The whole comes sometimes, one by one, segment by segment, you know what you:re building there. ,What you are ultimately getting out of that canvas. You know your own strongpoint and weakness. I’m good at certain things I’m not too good at this thing. So if you like certain things becau~e you have a tendency you can do, you can accomplish certain things better. If you like certain areas, go ahead with what you like. But then you have to go a step further. You must develop the taste -that you are fond of things in other people you don’t like. In other words those negative areas you can make them positive so that you develop a t~ste to like them. So you must not say I don’t like this man I don’t like him. I just don’t care about him. It’s no good. There must be some good in him so I must develop ray taste to like him.
The .important thing of a· great leader’ is not to be choosy about man. If you are picky or choosy about man_ saying, I don’t like this man or I cannot choose this man well or this man is no good, no potential this is not the great leader. The great.leader has to draw the best out of men. So if you want to b~come a great leader you must be learning from everyone. You must associate with everyone, you must be able to use everyone. What you don’t have in your ovm character you must get from other~s. Since that part is lacking you must receive it from others.
What about you? Spending money is fun isn~t it? How about the opposite, earning money? Everybodj loves to spend money, everybody knows it’s fun. So knowing that everybody likes that, you develop and learn the opposite one. Yes, I will like to earn money. I do not hate to work. The person who is despera·te and who is fond of earning, that person will grow. The person who hates his work and is always trying to get a few dollars here and there and spend it that person doesn’t_ grow and everything deteriorates.
Divine Principle is the same thing. You say, I cannot understand this area. I do not want to deal with this. Tha·t person will not grow. But your good area and successful side, I already knew you. Tackle and be persistant about difficult area, then you grow. (Is it true, yes) Even witnessing is the same thing. You go to the most favorable situation and witness under favorable conditions. Everybody can do this. But under adverse conditions and adverse situations you still can witness, -tha t 7 s the man i,·ho can r,ea.lly produce.
While teaching Vic·tory Over Co1rununism lecture, the per~on who 7 r’(.;Spor:cJs to you is easy to teach. But the ncrson who is desnerate to r;ct a1-:ay from you, ·s·omchow > you must win. his heurt over and try to p~rsu.c.1.dc him to listen. That’s the hero. So i-:hcn ‘. hose who co1:1e to o;,pose you ·will give you the most nasty questiuns. You see, trying to r:!akc and erabarra~-;s you under those circumstances, you 1 11 learn mostly your getting the most arrogant ones.
So finally you can say I will bring over the crimson red cormnunists and I will give tliem my lecture. I will turn them around. You must have that kind of confidence. Until they do really turn the Communists around, I will not stop until you see that kind of determination.
You cannot be tired, no time to be tired. You must be bubbling with enthusiasm. This is the way you become a social leader. You can be someday the mayor, congressman, or senator. Why not? Who said no? God didn’t say no. You will become an influencial person by what you are doin’g. You become instant influential person in your assigned area. You grow in this capacity. They will recognize your ability. The governor, the police chief, and opinion makers will recognize your ability. You will be in the m~in circle of that society.
So let the mayor say good things about you. If the governor and congressmen are saying something very nice about you then you will have a good inroad. So aim high, shoot high. Thatts how Father’s strategy was. He shot at high men at the top, leaders and senators, and very important congressmen. When He met them He found that they arc ordinary human beings there saying all these things. Father has confidence that He can influence them, He can get them to follow. They will be in a listening position because we have something different. We have something new.
When you come to your fate you must swear on heaven and earth, in history,· I’m the first one ever to come upon this land assigned by God. To speak out forcibly for His PPinciple which nobody has. spoken upon this land. I come a~ a pioneer of this virgin land in the name of God. As long as I aJn prospering in this state no Communist has room to come into my territory. With that kind of conviction you should step upon your assigned land. Do you have that kind of conviction (Yes) wonderful. Be patient. Sometimes if you are hungry and you are tired) you can still go on if you have a stack of convictions. You must enjoy the responsible part to go on to b~ patient to withstand.
Say you are meeting someone during the day and you are intoxicated in teaching. You are so enthused about teaching the Theory of Victory Over CoI:’,rnunism you stay and teach all night or until 12 otclock with nothing to eat. Everything is closed and you lie down on an empty stomach. Then you feel so good. I had a most wonderful day even though my stomach is very empty. You feel its dramatic not pessimistic. Hell how wonderful I made that clay. This is so good an empty stomach :i_.s spiritually giving you so much food. All your life when you were hungry you’re very sad for your own hunger but now I am hungry because of my action of helping others. And I am huppy. All day I was hungry for myself and I was miserable now I’m hungry for others and I am happy.
g In all of heaven and earth you have a new heavenly pcrso:1,:1.lity, positive personality. When you come into your room in the old dc1ys you say whu.t a r1iscra.ble tine. But you ,mn I t r;ay this c::.ny:nore. No1-: my body has been completely :inves·ted in heavenly work. IIm.; i:.-;,onclerful to co1:’.e. back •,?ith. a tired body) b•~cause I invested so much great fortune for God’s work. The positive way of thinking is all up here in the mind. You invest in joy.
Father from every second of his life and throughout His entire life is enjoying every minute. Father has been doing this eve11 today from very early in the morning. He’s been talking all day and it’s nearly one o’clock and it still has not ended. And if Father is thinking oh boy how miser2.ble I am. Why has God put me in this position? How much more would you pay Heavenly Father, if we were counting the paycheck? If He’s waiting for some kind of reward He wouldn’t do this. But instead He is bubbling with enthusiasm. He doesn’t know where the time goes.- .
Early in the morninv when you( get up and go someplace, and everybody has shining eJes, waiti~g for the lecture w~iting for you to come, how wonderful you feel. Joy and excitement is right there. No matter how great a fortune or treasury you have in your own store, looking at them every day that joy of fortune would not compete with this joy. Everyday by you~ sweat and your hard work new life will be born. Eyes will begin shining into new horizons. New purpose, new definition of life, that is the joy and real ·t1~easure. to watch ..
When you go out into your new assignment some days you might not have a person to teach. You think, well today I don’t have anybody to teach at all so let me take it easy. Don 1 t do that. Go out! Get the people! Even though nobody responds to you. Get the children of the village. Play with them a little while and sing and jump with them. Play ttig of war. In time you will mak~ friends. Not only the children but their parents. That’s the way the parents come. They see the way you are paying attention to their children. The parents notice that this young man is really friendly to their children. Then the next day you meet and say hello. You know their names 11 Hello :Mr. and Hrs. Jones 11 • For this reason Father is an expert in child psychology.
Father is an expert in making children cry! Not by spanking them but by moving their hearts, by letting them be estatic in joy, by talking to them. It’s all the study of psychology, human psychology. Thro.ugh the children is the best way to make friends with the.parents. Really get\interested in friends of their children and you become a teacher knowing that their children are learning something from you.
Through the children you can learn alot about their home~. What is the name of the. father and mother, oldc:r.• brother, young sister. Memorize this and when you pass by say hello to them. Say may I speak to you for a moment. How is your family? How is your sen Joe doing? You already know Joe’s na..r:1e, so they say, how do you know my son’s name? I have a way to know. How is your youngest daughter Susan doing? This r11an startles them, really. This P:-rson~ loves to hear kind words and you have abundant kind words. They are free
no one lias to buy the kind words, even ·though they coine the expensive Huy, fpo::: your heart. 1:Ilien I r:1ct your son, he -is so ha.ndsome and so intelligent and a very good boy, I started to think that his dad r:.ust be: c1 grec1t one too. And when I met you indeed my cxpcc-cations Here correct. He will grin from ear to ear. Th2.t’s the study of :n.an, hurnan psychology.
So Father would never never be alone in any strange village. Within three days, ~ithin a few hours, he always makes friends. He aJ.w2,ys has a place to stay. There is always somebody to give Hirn food. He’s never out of food or out of a place to stay.· Every place Ile goes He knows hov: to make Himself at home. Be natural. So when you are. real hun~ry and somebody is eating lunch, naturally sit down as a family member and say, you know I just came to taste your good food. Your so natural, so bold, so kind looking in a way, they just enjoy you. Completely flabergasted by the way you act, you get a good meal. You heed certain guff, certain trend through J-n.unan -psycholor;y. That ts the r..-1ay of life. So you owe somebody. Help somebody out you give and then receive that’s the world. Helping out is a way of life we give to benefit others, others will benefit you.
You must know how to harmonize people. Then, you are not just harimonizing, this is one thing very different in our movement. You are possessed with having some special conviction and purpose of life, un ideology and something you have to sha·re with them. In other words your harmony of people is not just for harmony’s sake. You have the ultimate goal to influence them with a newer and greater ideology.
So when you go to the field and you say oh ther•e I s no people to talk ~o you can change the whole situation in a way that there are always ample people to talk to, ample friends out there. All’you have to do is go and get them and reap them. The absolutely worse time is when there is no one to talk to. So you go ·out and get the work, give them your labor in the factory or in farming area or ·whatever; do chores for them and then you may give them the chance to convert. People everywhere are waiting·for you. Do not think it is impossible or difficult. Get rid of s~ch thoughts.
The college carnpus is the ideal place, a really beautiful place. You go w.i th confidence the next three years. In America we are passing through a critical period. In this period we must win a. substantial victory and lay a substantial folmda·tion upon which our movement will blossom to an infinite degree. This nation shall “be saved. The world will s~e hope.
When you ar_e young like you are, unless you taJ~e hardships now, when \•:ould you stc:1rt with the willing accep·tance of suffering? When you get married and have your own children that is not the. time to suffer>. Now is the •time of suffering, right now. The experience and knowledge you gain·in hardship later on in family life hardship will be no problem then. Later on you will always have confidence.
/0 · At your age is the perfect time to even volunteer to get the hard task to r•::ach advc:r’se concli tions) you must be Hilling to face This. If you train to harden yourself in the next three years at your age, then the rest of your life you have nothing to fear. Nothing can stop you . · But if your going to. easy r.•1ay nm~’, ~c1ter on some storm co;nes upo!1 your life then you have su.f f e1’inB and no way open. By then you are not alone; your wife and your children everybody will suffer together. You don’t want that. You want that everything now. The most precious moment for you is the training period when you are really disciplined, trained.
Ko1’ean elder members, who are now important members, in the past when they followed ·in the early days of the movement they really suffered; really, really suffered. Father says that finally he could not stand it anymore. But now they all say, Father, I’m thankful for that time. Because of that previous training 0e have nothing to fear, nothing to be afraid of. With wives and children we must have such a strong confidence we can live a most worthy life. The same thing applies to you. When Father was your age, father was suffering in untold degree, not the kind of suffering you are going to face. He was tortured and thrown out of jail because they thought he was dead. They gave up, they tortured him so much. Under that suffering he survived. Because of those experiences now in the entire United States of America they are trying to throw all kinds of bombs, hot water, and this persecution and that persecution, this doesn’t even bother Father at all because ·of His past experiences. Those who are trained hard, they will inevitably be able to succeed. But those who are weak will be defeated. That’s the truth.
Fundraising, those who are working so hard, morning to night, but in the evening th~y give every penny, every penny to the church. Can you conceive which American youth would consider that in ‘”this day and age? I-t’s impossible. But how gr’eat they are. How they have such a great and gene1~ous life, so beautiful and dramatic in the sight of God; principle actor and actress in heavenly role. So they need money, everybody needs money, .that’s the -truth. But even after giving their money each evening, the next day they become rich again; and that evening penniless again, rich and penniless. Money doesn’t make happiness, they are so intoxicated in·the purpose of life, each day they know Father is walking with them, every step. Without money or with money, it doesn’t make ariy difference, they will be happy. They are happy people. But the people thre are in the other world, with or without money they worry day and night. People earn so much money for their own luxury. We are wo1’king so hard and earning so much money but not keeping for myself one penny. How noble to give everything to Father.
So you teach the Victory Over Corrununism or Unification Ideology. You know, of course, the people don’t know the Cora:munists c,re corning -’co chop off their neck. They don I t feel -that danger here in Arrter-ica. But now you are preparing this nation for one day and the people are sleening, but you ire awakened. You arc shaking them up and soraeday ;.1hen the ti1r.e comes, they will be deeply grateful, Ar:1e1’ica will be deeply indebted to yori. Those who are prepared, awakened first, bcco;ne. the first hope when the time cor:i.es. So those who are disciplines and trained become the leaders first that mean Unification Church.
II We will be hope of tl1c futupe world and we’ 11 be the first who will be the leaders. Leading this world because we are doing while others ar’e. sleeping. We’ J.l ctwa.kcn and train ourselves. Wise men only can be engaged in a movement like this. You go this race and continue for ten years, then the difference between you and other people are miles apart.
In Korea, ten years ago, people dropped us and they thought they were wise. Oh no, I just cannot live like that in the Unification Church. Old members are becoming heads of the departIBents, heads of the company, factories, the most reputable and socialable ways. Then others come back and say how unwise I am, why didn’t I have the courage to stick to it? It’s too late. Undoubtedly there are some dropouts but we’ll see those dropouts ten years later and compare.
America is a big country and proud to be the number one country in the world. If Reverend Moon keeps pushi~g this country for ten years, rocking the boat, but those that won’t look at him not pay attention to him now in ten years they will change their opinion. He knows this so He’s busy going forward in positive way.
So Father is returning to Korea once again. By the time He returns from Korea then maybe a thousand things can happen. You nevE;r know world can tur’n. overnight. Whole \·Wrld can turn overnight. When Fath~r will return then you will know. Be dramatic and be bubbling and enthusiastic. The road that ·man walks, you don’t expect it to be smooth and easy. Don’t ask for happiness to come. First ask for the hard and rugged path to come to you. You will be seasoned and most trained and hardened. Then no matter how rough the destiny of J.ife may be, you’ll never be terrified or ha1npered by it.
Now you afe growing in a greenhouse. You know in a very soft sunshine you never face the ruggedness of the world. What kind of person would you like to be? Tough and rugged? (Yes) That is the most beautiful ambition of youth. In the orient the suffering of youth cannot be bought even by gold. Even those who have a Ph.d, who suffered, who worked so hard as young people. So those who accomplish something in this life that must be a person who works desperately when they were young.
What about Father? Father is a su6cess or failure? (Success.) Because He suffered most in His youth. If He avoided His personal suffering and all kinds of harships came upon~ and He said I don’t want this, we would not have a day like this. There is no ~eal miracle, ·we create the miracles. Those who invested every ounce of energy, every droR of blood, they will reap that much more then. Triumph and power.· Time and you, these are the investments we are making for the life.
The Christian Church is the. same for two thousand years. It has been given so much suffering so much investment, already, that was the result of Christianity on the worldwide scale. Christianity i’s no longer> investing all the young people. ChPistian youth arc no longer investing so those down to earth really serious men are fewer
that’s why Christianity .Lu ., c-• duindling . I J- Tlv~ Unifica-:::icn Chu::,ch your1r; people corning in, they don I t mind sufferin~. They welco~e and go after suffering. Then this church movement will indeed engulf the.world. Truly the world will live through us.
Father saying in a very frank stateme.n-t “You go out to the wor-ld and suffer, be hwnble and you will learn more. And with more suffering and more persecution or more beating you then will become more loving and Lurn with enthusiasm and justice for God and man.”
You must have pride in those pe;ple who oppose you and who have you persecuted. I am a greater person because I belong to someone greater. I belong to an ideology that is greater. Those who oppose me I’m now better then them because even now I live a more worthwhile life. I would never swap my life with them. God will always be with you, God is always with such a person all the time it is the Principle of the cosmos. You understand? (Yes).
So Reverend Moon thinks Rev. Moon is shaking entire United States, small Rev. Moon, go shake your small state. Did I tell you to go and rob someone or rob a bank? tt’s not the teaching of Rev. Moon. Rev. Moon is teaching you to go and serve and give your sacrificial duty to humanity for the sake of God. Then people persecute.you and naturally God is going to side with you. His teaching is for righteousness. If still you are persecuted, then God will be the judge. No-thing to -;.mrry aobut, you l1ave the most righteous cause. So what should you worry about?
No natter what Lupossible situation develops, you have faith and conviction, you 1-. .ave calm and tranquility in your heart. God will take care of you. You are God’s banner. You go and create events, make it happen, so that yo’…l can truly ere.ate anti--cOi:r:nunist world. Without this ungodly ideology we can truly create a society that is God centered~ You are the second group to go out for this mission. More people will come in the future, but those people will see what has been done by you. They will say the second group is becoming r~al st~ong. They are a different breed. The first will say we must ri.:n ahead of them. Let them feel that. They will ask why is the second group better? They would not be jealous, they will say wonderful, it is a sign of prosperity.
In the Unification Church later and further spiritual fruit are getting better a_11c. better results as they go. We 1aust rejoice ii:’ s a phenor.:.ena. So you must think I am setting the standard I am per- forming~ Set the new standard. So you go and be a strong, courageous fighter. So F&ther would like to see you get together once every two months. You_.must create reports to show Father. Father this is victory I won. Understand. Go and really do. fight. Let’s pray ..
