-- … CELEBRATION OF___,THE BIRTH OF YOUNG JIN MOON 22nd June, 1978
Mr . Orme: The programme is that we have to announce the birth of Father’s son. Father had a son today, 10 lbs . 3ozs . (Everyone cheers and much applause). 41 kilos, for those who work in kilos . We have also a minor thing - compared with that great event - that is a successf’11l press conference given by Col. Pak in Washington this morning, subjugation of’ the Fraser Committee completely. (Much cheering and applause). · Father says that Mother is doing wonderfully well and we hope Father is too , Yes, the Band have a little music they would like to play for us •••••••• •; • •••
Band Leader: We want to present as a great celebration one song that was composed about the birth of a great New Age child, and actually the first rehearsal of this band was 20 minutes befpre 11 . So we had 20 minutes of practising and we composed a new song, in honour _of Father’s new child. You heard that the child weighed 10 lbs. 3 •Ozs., this song is dedicated to the great power and beauty of God, because it 1 s a Perfect Baby, dedicated to Heavenly Father .
The Band _plays : “He’ll be coming round the mountain when He comes” •• • •
Band Leader: Father, we are sorry we could not rehearse longer, but we didn •t know the concert was going to take place ,mt il Heaven announced the victory.
Mr. Orme: I’d like to remind you of how historic this day is, you know, every time you celebrate a birthday, it’s really an anniversary . Isn’t that right? You never celebrate a birthday, because you celebrate the anniversary of it, but today we have the unique opport,mity of celebrating the birth of Young Jin Moon . (Much cheering and applause).
Father: Father knows that you are interested in the children as much as in Father. Each one has a name and the name in Chinese characters, has a meaning, Ye-Jin, who is sitting there, Jin means “marching on” and Ye means “honour” . Do you 1mderstand? Moon by the way means “literature” . That’s the first meaning of “Moon” . So, she has lots of talent for writing poems and literature. This is In Jin . “In” means to be bene- volent, to do something good to other people. Each one has such a striking personality as in their name . The character matches the name. In Jin sings well, she also draws well, paints and writes well too. Father and everyone else feel, that they grow up to fit their names perfectly, of course, the name given by Heaven. “Jin” means always marching on and “Un” means grace, so grace, j ust like her name . While she was very young, 2 or 3 years old, she was just sitting alone on the stairs thinking all by herself and Father asked her: “What are you think- ing?” She answered: “I am thinking of God . “ She is very proud of attending Pledge Service every s,mday morning . The children are very sleepy, but when nobody wakes her up, because they think she is too tired and too young, she gets really mad . Even Father is amazed at that. So she grows to be like her name too .
The youngest daughter is Sim-Jin . “Sim” means”goodness” . She is only 1½ years old now but when she sees Koreans she speaks Korean, when she sees Americans, she speaks English . That’s very difficult for grownup people to do, but she does that, so perfectly . On the telephone even now, she says: “I want to see you, do you come home soon?” And Father talks to her for a long time .
llyo Jin means “filiel”. HG is very aotivc and outgoing• he is always thinking about Father, he says: “I am filial, you seet I always think about Father,”he says that to himself, and he is growing into that tendency.
The second one is Heung-Jin, this means marching on prosperity. After his birth the church started becoming prosperous on a world-wide scale. 1·lhea he was born it was a most difficult time for our Church,· but after he was born, then the Church started going up. The next is g-y;ung-Jin and “Hyung” means to appear. After his birth the Unification Church and Father started to become known to the world, and many people .came to know and understand the Unification Church.
The next is Kook-Jin_, “Kook” means country. There is no other meaning .~ when you say “Kook” that means country in Chinese characters, and after his birth the nation, the country began to recognise the .Unification Church and Father.
The ne:,rt child is ID·: on-Jin and “Kwon” means authority and power. The Unification Church became powerful. and more and more authoritive.
· Then Young-Jin, that means glorious. When we become glorious it is just like the morning sun rising. The whole world will know that we are right instead. of wrong. People will start recogn:i:sing us • . The Fraser Committee and others thought, wi~nout reason, that there was -something really wrong with us, but when they i :ivestigated , utilising all their resources, they found nothing • . — Today it is exactly the fortieth day since Father arrived in England. (Applause). Like all important events, it all happens as if it is coincidence.
So today is a day that we make a pact on our side, so far Satan attacked us for no reason, and we were in defensive posi~ion. Every- body thought we were wrong, which we were not, but there was 11ot much we could do about it. Now , we have gone over the hill, and then people begin to realise that there was nothing wrong with us. Father met many ne,-:spaper people in the Hilton Hotel in Washington and he told them, that from now on, we will not sit silent, but r ather we will attack. We will issue writs against the unjust people who have done so much damage to others, for instance we will sue the”New York Times”for many millions dollars for the damage they have caused. Then we will sue the State Department because they try to stop our religious activity. They know that they have no right to do that. As for Fraser, he disclosed secret informationo So with that ma~erial, we found out that the State Department has been trying to discoura~ and not only discourage -ibut slander, the Ohurch. Also this Fraser Committee tried to damage us, congressmen have no right to do that, no American ever imagined that congressmen would do such a thing. Fraser spent 2,000 dollars bribing a bad man and said that if he testified against us, he would give him that money. He actually hired f our people to testify against us. Fraser paid them 2 7 000 Dollars (, each. 8 9 000 dollars altogether. Can you imagine that? Of course, he did I that secre-ttr but Col Pak found out and as a result he is suing the congressmen in the High Court (Applause).
Actually, the baby was nc.--1:: o-u.p-poc:,P,d_ t n be \Jori: t oda.y - he was due on the 6th or 7th of June. Almost two weeks ago, but he had to wait until thie right day and the right time and so he was born today. The hospital was surprised because he was so big. They gave him a nick-name, 11 Wrestler”.
So as the Dispensation progresses and our Church history is formed year after year, Heaven gave a name to each child, as Father has just explained, and so we must understand the meaning before we can appreciate and be grateful for them.
So this year every country in the world goes over the hill, we have come to the peak of the oppositbn, you might say. Opposition comes because of lack of understanding, which comes because they are dark in- side. But this year they got over that, like in Korea, now they under- stand that Father is doing something good for the world. They don’t know exactly what but still it is something good for the world, and they know it is good for the country of Korea, so they say “Our Reverend Moon” now, they never used to say that, but now they say n0ur Reverend Moon”. (Applause).
In Japan, for instance, they have got Communists. I talked to Mr. Oyamada and he said when they attack us in theory then we counter-attack them by pointing out their wrong theory, but then they attack us again in another way, then we correct it once more, so now as Mr. Oyamada said, the Communists in Japan are on the defensive and they are retreating. For 60 years the Communists were very confident that absolutely nothing would beat them, and the Free World went lower and lower and the Communists were spreading widely so they h.n.ve many members now. So far nobody has beaten them by disc’llSsion and ideals, but this year, 18.’. the first time in history that anybody has challenged them like that. Also the Free World, as well as Japan, now knows that Father is doing good work. In America especially, many religions, many ·. Christian denominations, are opposed to Father. They say:”He is a heretic, he is unorthodox. “But now all Christians know that Rev. Moon is by far the biggest boss in Christianity. (Laughter, applause and cheering). When they say nchristian”, then they think: “Oh, Reverend Moon”. When the Communists hear about the Unifi cat ion Church, they immediately think: “Oh, then it •s the Reverend Moon.” The Communists begin to feel that. He is now in a position over Communism. This is a transition - going over the hill, then when we go over the hill, this starts happening. All the people in the Free World may oppose Father so far, but actually they have no reason to. They only oppose because other people do, they just go along with it that’s all. Nevertheless, even though they oppose, they are great- ly’ interested in Father. “What is he doing? Why do people oppose him? Why I am opposing him?” They put these questions to themselves. Especiall7 the young people are fascinated by him. They carry his
picture in their wallet because they think Father is a hero.
The young people especially are interested in Father because they are more sensitive than anybody else to the things that Father does. They hear that the Reverend Moon is a millionaire, so they are interested in him, because everyone wants to share his money. American people especially have a respect for wealthy people, like the Rockefeller, t~ey think it is a big name, they don’t question whether he is a good Christian or not, but they hear that Father is a millionaire so they are interested in Him. He is well known for social work and academic work. He has political activities, a powerful organisation. Many young people are in hie organisation, so people are sometimes puzzled, sometimes very curious. Everyone knows that he is basically religious, but then he has a Go World Brass Band which is a cultural group. The New York Symphony, which has~ high reputation in New York, and also the Little Angels, the children’s dancing group that now enjoys much fame in the world. So they start wondering just what he really is. Father built the Little Angels’ School, Grammar School, Middle School and High School, Father has them spending about 12 Million dollars - that is a lot of money, especially in Korea. The Little Angels’ s chool ie the very best school in Korea. Actually, the very best school in the whole of Asia. So, the Royal Ballet came from London to Korea to perform 2 months ago, they said that the way they teach in the School in Korea is better in some respects, than the Royal Ballet in London, they were so impressed at the efficient working and teaching. So Father has made by far the best school, Christian schools are devoting much money to education, but they can never come anywhere near to the Little Angels’ School, it is the best one. Father did all that while the whole world was opposing and persecuting us. A University will come soon. Christians have universities in Korea but they .c annot be compared with the university we conceive. Do you follow?
We began to break the ground for the HQ building which, by the time it is completed, will cost a total of 120 million dollars. Every year we will spend 20 million dollars or more. The target day is four years. On average we have to spend 30 million dollars a year to build it. Do you understand? When Mr. Aum was here 2 days ago, he completed the plans. Father is here, leading a busy life, but he is reaching out to them and giving all the directions for building the Headquarters.
We have a big fishing business in the north of Virginia _ it is now seven months since Father set that up at a cost of 3 ~ million dollars. then during the next two months, the same amount againj a total of 7 million dollars in 9 months. That’s a fantastic thing. Father does that for our future, so that the business becomes prosperous and successful. It all has a direct meaning for our future. When we invest that much money, it will increase to 50 million dollars of business by next year by 1980, and within three years, it will have become 100 million dollars of business. Then Father feels that all the expenses of the Unification Church can be an adequate source of income. In other words, all the
money that is needed will be raised through the businesses. In Korea, it is no secret any more, that IDa¥J.Y companies are yielding much profit now. One Machine company.only one part of the whole enterprise, yields about 80 million dollars in profit. It makes any machine, even tanks.
It’s like a dream, Pather never paid any attention to money until 15 years ago. · Before that, Father was f’undraising like you, every evening. For seven years Father has been really serious about investing in businesses. So from now on, the projected business volumes cannot even be imagined, we don’t know how big they will grow. Do you understand?
Now, as you know, you are working sometimes in impossible situations, but always have good faith and pray and you can go over the difficulties and become more and more victorious and get deeper understanding, you grow, in other words. Father feels the only meaning is so that you will survive - other people may not survive, they will decline, but you will never decline, in fact you will survive to become a leader in the future world. In 5 years, in 1980 society will demand some kind of personality, you are being trained to meet that need. That’s what Father sees in you. You are not just doing today’s work, the next day’s work, it is only a training process so that when the New Age comes, you will be the qualified person for the New Age.
A passport says: “Whoever bears this book, wherever he goes please help him and treat him well.” In the same way, when Father w»ites you some note saying “whoever carries this piece of paper, please give them lodging, give them clothing, make sure that they do not go hungry, give them something to eat. Then wherever you go in the world, the church will take care of you, Father will see to that. So recently Father called all the African leaders and then Father laid the foundation for the economic growth in African countries. Do you understand?
Father looks like an ordinary person, but in one generation • 1.Father has done so much in a cultural way, in a philosophical way, in a religious way, he has done so much, in invisible ways, as well as in a material way. We can understand that, can’t we?
Spirit world and this world will have such a miraculous union, a high degree of union is possible. Can you imagine? Do you understand that?
So how do you feel joining the church, as a Church member? (Great). It’s a very amazing thing too, when many people are here, some Unification Church members thought they were very smart and other people were really not so smart, why do they think like that, they criticise the members, but those who they thought were dumb, were very stable, and now almost all in a leadership position. Those who thought they were very smart and criticised other people, soon found themselves in a very low position and must follow those other people. Everything will become like that in about 10 yeareA time. So we can imagine that if the past 10 years were like that how much will change in the future. Do you understand? Those people who thought they were smart, could not stand the life, they dropped away, but now they see that those who they thought were dumb stayed in the Unification Church and have all got into leadership position. Those who thought they were smart and dropped away,
come back in again, and without questionning, without challenging they are satisfied with the lowest position. So what Father is asking you to do now is never drop away. Do you understand? No matter how difficult it is. The Reverend Moon, as the world calls him, is not an. incapable man, he is not an idealist man who does not know reality, but on the contrary, quite the other way. He always expects the worst, and makes plans on that basis.
You must take an example from Father. Even if the whole world criticises Father as a dumb, and incapable man, a bad man, Father does not say one word, but still goes on. Take his example and be dumb like that, like one who never thinks just like a big ox who does his duty faithfully, that what we ought to do as a religious person, we do the heavenly work, without even paying attention to what other people are saying about us. Do you understand?
So Father gave you an example tonight about the 10 children. As they were born, year after year, the Dispensation has been carried out, the name and personality has indicated the Unification Church’s future their s~bolic names were so appropriateo Like- wise, you have a name, as a member of the Unification Church. What is the Unification Church? It is the Holy Spirit Association, that means that every one of you is a Holy Spirit, and an Association of the World Christianity. Right? That’s our name, that’s the meaning. Do you think that Father gave it that name without deep thought. Did he think whimsically? Father thought deeply before giving each child a name, of course he did, so Father thought even more deeply when he named the Unification Churcho Isn’t that so? Then what will the Unification Church do? Will it actually be able to unify the entire Christian world? Without question? Nobody can question that because it is so obvious that the Unification Church will unify the whole Christian world and under one God and one Christ. Nobody will raise a question because it is a iw.tt cr of fact. Do you understand? We are already beginning to see that. You see that Christians now have many denominationst i.e. Methodist or Salvation Army. There are many different pnes. They all have a b ~ of directors. In some famous denominations in Korea 5 out of 7 members are Unification Church members. Did you know that? In other words, they are the ones who know the Unification Chruch is right, and trust and believe that the Unification Church will unit e the entire Christian world. So the ones who think deeply, who have a brain, under- stand the meaning of the Unification Church, those who are not like that oppose us.
So Father talked to the Boston Leader today, Boston has Harvard University and he reported to Father that Harvard University is really paying attention to Father now. They are serious about our meaning. If the people exercise a reasonable understanding towards Father, and if they listen to Father when Father gives the directives to do this or that, then even England can achieve tremendous improvement in a very short period of time. Do you understand? So when Father gives us the direction, let•s all do it this way. We must really devote ourselves to that direction,. without so . much thinld:n~ or criticising, but if we do it with full force then that guarantees the best result.
Do you understand? We don’t even ha.ve to try very hard because we already have a name and, if we are reasonably faithful, and obedient, then we will become like our own name.
One day we will be the people who can unify all Christianity, but i~ somebody has doubt then he should be confident that if he doesn’t become like that automatically then” “By my power, by my efforts I will make it that way”. You can do that. You might say, she is only a little girl, with no power, or money~ no social standing, do you think that she can do it? (Answer: Yes;. Yes, and we have very good reasons - it is not she who does it, but it is God who does the worko Actually ten or 15 years ago the Reverend Moon was not very different from her now. What was different? Only one thine and that was that Father had complete and absolute faith in God, .· . in the name of fod and doing His work, Father undertook all kinds of adventures all kinds of gambles Father took them without doubting - without thinking that something would happen to him that he could be hurt, or bad consequences, could come, Father never thought like that. If you are ordered to do something like striking the wall with your head, then if you feel ‘my head will break’ then it will break, but if you know that God has ordered that and if you re~lly do it then by the time your realise that your head is not broken, the wall is broken (Laughter). Do you understand? And not only one time, not four times, but many , many times, consistently all the time. That is the difference between her and the ordinary girl in the street and Father and the ordinary man in the world. Do you understand? And that is exactly the .. same for you. How are you different? And how much can you do? You can actually do what thousands and millions of people can do. Father understands that you don’t have very much to eat, sometimes you even go hungry, you can’t eat on time, and you can’t sleep so well and sometimes you really feel that you can never survive, don’t you? In fact, sometimes you feel as it your joints are coming off (Laughter) but even if you feel that, you can be different and you can be confident that other people will never make it in your situation, but you will - no matter what happens you will make it - you will go over, you must think that way.
That is definitely new tooo Your attitude is positive and different to other people. Do you understand? (Yes) Father “Yes, Yes” As long as you have that confidence you will become Unification Church, as your name implies. Even if you do not do that, and all of you drop away Father has confidence that he can do it alone, and because he has that confidence he will continue. Later the people will protest to Father: “Why are you doing that all by yourself. Why don’t you let other people help you?” Then Father might say: “You are right, I shouldn •t do . everything by myself, you can join me and help me, if you want to. · Are you going to do well or badly’? (Hell)Whcn you say “Yes” your eyes must be sparkling, not having a far away look. (Much laughter as Father demonstrates his next points). If you are a happy woman then then you have to walk like a whale, with extreme motions, and _when you laugh you must break the record. When you laugh tell God: “I am going to laugh this wa::,, and you like it, don’t you? “Then laugh until you can hear God laughing just like you. Father promises that you can actually hea~ Him laugh. Have faith and try it and see if it works - Father knows that it will. When lunchtime, or dinner-
time comes, eat with big mouthfulls, like a man who has not eaten . for ten days. It does not matter if you eat hard bread, eat it as though it is the tastiest thing in the world. When you are sleeping it is the same, always think that your bed is better than in any palace, you are really sleeping on an expensive bed. That is because God would like to be with you when you sleep, so you have to think that yourbedroom is fit for a king, fit for God, otherwise He cannot come. How can God come to a miserable place to visit you? You have to think that the place where you sleep is better than a palace. Isn’t that so? (Yes) Even if you have to sleep sitting up, because there is a lack of space, snore when you sleep, to show that you are having a good sleep (Laughter). If you practise this will you see blessings coming or not? (Blessingscoming)
If you are coming back from witnessing in the night time and you are terribly lonely, take big steps and make much noise with your heels on the concrete, and sing a song which has a deep melody. Walk like that and sing from the bottom of your heart and that will make you a powerful being. When you cross the threshold of your house you will say to yourself “today was a wonderful day.” Then demand that God visit you, because you had such a wonderful and fruitful day, ask God to sleep right beside you. Sometimes you are so tired that you snore and wake yourself up. Then you realise: 11 I must have chased God away that was a failure on my part.” So always, inch by inch, minute by minute, we must learn to live with God. Do you understand?
When you are looking in the mirror, in the morning, you must be fascinated by your nose, your mouth, every part of your body; so since you like it so much, God must like it. “God must be with me too,” we have to be as confident as that. Women must really be proud of their assets. “God will really like this, because it is in His image. “Men don •t have , that big hip, or big boss om, you must be proud of them. If you have no expensive jewellery t wear make paper jewellery,but say that it is more precious than any other jewellry, and ask God if He doesn’t think so, too. If you make a habit of such a way of life, you don’t have to spend extra hours in praying in the bathroom because your life itself is a prayer. Nobody can bear to see a woman with a miserable face. She can never be successful in witnessing, nobody will look at the paper she gives out. You must be happy in yourself and you must always have the smell of unity around you, you must feel that whereever you go unity occurs, the mind and body of man will have instant unity whenever you pass through. You have to be confident that your eyes, your nose, your whole body will emit that good fragrance of unification.
Sometimes when everything else fails, you can take off your shoes and carry them. Then people will wonder, you look perfectly normal so they will come and ask you: “What are you doing?” You can reply: “You thought I was crazy, didn’t you? Actually I did that because I want to speak to you.” There are many ways of witnessing, don’t just have one. If a man’s necktie is not straight go and correct it yourself, and say to the stranger: “This is one thing I can’t stand because it reminds me of my Father, who was an alcololic. He always wore his necktie like that.” (Laughter) Then, J.I r1e is curious to find out about your Father, ask him to sit down and
talk with him. Sometimes you read a very exciting novel. You are so fascinat P-d by the story that you cannot forget it. But, you know, these stories are man made, fiction. The person who wrote the book had great imagination, and when you read it, you are fascinated • . When the man dies you cry, and when he laughs you laugh. So if a man stretches his imagination to write a good novel like that, what if your practise the story? You will be much more powerful than the author, because you are the actors and the act·:resses.
We have to become good actors and actresses. You can actually kick a person who is walking past and, whilst mending the relationship, you can witness to him. Don’t try to present yourself formally, don’t introduce yourself in the British way. Take all sorts of unusual ways if you cannot approach them in the normal way. It is necessary, you know. You can do many things, humour, jokes, impromptu acts, when you have confidence in what you are doing. You laJ.ow sometimes dogs, and especially puppies, play around in the park, it is so natural and becoming. When two dogs meet each other they do not look to see what the other is thinking, like man, the first thing they do is smell each other. They rub and lick each other and then they toss each other around. They become so close to each other in five minutes, they really become friends, isn’t that so? (Yes) Even if you invent stories to impress a person, he will not protest, as long as you have some connection to him and you are doing it to bring him towards God not for yourself. There is no set method, you can try everything. Do you understand?
Have you visited many Christian churches? You can write a beau- tiful prayer and recite it in the Christian Church. “If England con- tinues like this it will be destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah, but as soon as this country returns to God it will experience prosperity once more.” You can make predi ctions like that. Other people are mimicing when they pray, they are not serious; so, when you pray seriously, they will listen to you. They will forget their own prayer and listen to you, if you have a very strong prayer.
You must act on the spot, impromptu, decide immediately and be dramatic, since life itself is one long drama. Do you understand? (Yes) So sometimes you even have to manipulate two men into fighting each other. Father has a good reason for saying this. When two men fight each other you would like to stop the fight, wouldn’t you? Everyone feels that it is foolish for two men to fight each other and wants to stop them, but you only stop them fighting if you made them start figating in the first place. You see? (Laughter) It is psychology. If you do not have the ability to make two people fight each other, you will never be able to stop them fighting; it is not easy to make them stop fighting each other. When you have experience then, sometimes, your presence makes them stop fighting. This is why Father urges you to try it. Once in her life a woman would like to provoke a man. The man is sitting or standing there, minding his own business, and you say: “What a silly nose you have.” Or words to that effect. He will be dumbfounded (Laughter). There are a few courses of action you can expect. He may get totally mad at you, or he will ignore you, because you are a crazy, insane woman, or he will be curious as to why you are saying that. So you have to plan beforehand what you will do if he gets mad etc. Your purpose is to make him sufficiently inter-
asted in you and what you. are saying, beoa.use you have such an important thing to say to him that the ends justify the means. This is why you have to study a man, don’t do the same for every contact.
You have to get interested in witnessing, you have to be fascinated with your work, then it becomes really interesting to wit- ness to people and you are very effective. If you are not excited how can other people become excited in you? There is no law like that, nothing works like that. If you work out of duty then they will talk to you out of duty, and, when the duty ends, they will leave.
When Father was young and he witnessed he spoke until four or five o’clock in the morning, it dia.n’t matter. Then how did he do that? Well Father studied the situation all the time, if the guest wanted to go home Father knew immediately: “Oh, if I tell him this he will be sufficiently interested and will not want to leave”. He tried this a few times and found that it always worked. The guest was about to go but then he sat down again because he found it interesting. Father was really satisfied at his success in making him stay. If you do that many times with many people then you know what to say to keep someone’s interest, and you can easily go throughout the night without sleeping. So you nmst really be fascinated by Divine Principle, so that, when you talk, other people will also be fascinated. But if you are not excited when you talk then nobody will listen to you. Do you understand? (Yes) You have the potential to unify everyone. You cannot just sit down and do nothing and expect everything to come into unity. You must study. When you give a talk you have to get excited.
If somebody ordered a meal you have to have the guts to walk in, sit down beside him, and start eating it yourself. Imagine why you have to do that. What if you are being chased by the police or the communists, and he is looking for someone who just walked into the restaurant; if you are sitting waiting he will see you immediately, but if you have already started eating he will never know that you have juat come in. He could never unterstand that someone could eat immediately he goes into the restaurant. (Laughter) • You just have to beg that man to keep silent while you are eating and, later, when the policeman goes away, you can explain the situation to him. Do you understand?
Father always studies different sit-uations because we never know what we must do in order to fulfill the dispensation. We must even train ourselves so that, when we are really sleepy, we walk into somebo~ else’s home and have a sleep and then, at the same time,be able to explain away the situation wt.en we wake up. You might call it the navigation of a lifetime. During your life you have many, many experiences. You have to go th.rough many unusual situations, sometimes very crude or oppressed situations. You must be a good automobile driver, the automobile of your life. You have to staer your ceu.rse very skillfully in your life. So Father always urges Unification Church members not to be stereotyped.
Even though people may feel that you are insane and crazy and may get mad at you: have enough guts to do wh, tever you have to do, explain in normal terms, without budging, and with lots
Page 11) of confidence. Thie ie very neoeecie:ry. We must train ourselves in a eveey way in the capabilities of unification. It demands a lot of extra.ordinaey skill to overcome various situations. You must do that before you are 30 and preferable before you are 25, because after 30 it becomes more and more difficult to act in an unusual way. But at your age, and unmarried, you can do anything and get away with it, as long as you have confidence. When you are trained like that then, wherever you go, you can stand up and sing a solo for any audience, in a most natural way and natural singing is the best.
When you think of it, the fact that you don’t speak the language is an advantage, because you don 1 t have to observe all the courtesies. You are exempt. Well, if you don’t speak the language and you happen to love someone how you are going to express that to him? Singing, dliyou say1 So we have to study many ways, singing, by expression, and so forth. When you do that then you are able to evaluate the man very quickly. If you know many things about ma.n’s nature then you can evaluate the man very quickly. As Father assured you, you will grow up to be just like your name, that is Unification, you will be a man of unification. You cannot do that automatically, you have to train yourself, you have to think about unifying and you have to become qualified by training. No matter how perfect and how nice smelling a flower is, if it is absolutely still and no wind blows, then nothing happens, it does not even smell, but when a proper wind blows, the flower moves slightly and the fragrance drifts and reaches the man’s nose. In the same way even though you are perfect by your name and by your perso- nality etc, you have to train yourself - you have to do your own moving. Father now urges you wherever you go, to emit the fragrance of unification. Do you understand? Well, actually Father started out by introducing all the names of the children and then ended up with your name. (Applause). Ice cream and cake was then served and In Jin Nim opened the programme of entertainment by singing “Somewhere over the Rainbow.” Then several other membersmng Solos. At the close of the evening Father sang for members.
