Father Speaks To The Couples Before (The Matching) Ceremony - Original Document
1978-09-15 · Source: tparents.org
Don’t you know what we are doing? Matching, Match- making, The overall conclusion of the Divine Principle is that the road of restoration will be completed through the family - the completion of the family. Let’s think about what the will of God is. What is it? Can you answer me? What . is the will of God? The consummation or completion of the ideal of creation. Then what is the consummation or completion of the ideal of creation? That is the completion of the four heavenly positions. Then what is the completion of the four heavenly positions? That is that, centering upon God, Adam (man) and Eve (woman), united in one gave their children birth. By what? How can they be united, how can they become one? By what? By what should they bec~me one? Can you answer me? (‘Love’). What kind of love? True lovet What is true love? True love is love of God. So the completion of the heavenly four positions, uniting upon love. United by love. When you remove love of the heavenly four positions then the four positions will be separated in four different positions. We must not forget that which is always the focal point of unity - the unity of the heavenly four positions, Love. Love is like glue bringing all four parts together. Where does that love come from? Love - certainly we are talking of the love of God, But how can the love of God be generated? When you are encountering your perfect subject or object - in other words - your partner. So the love is coming from your object or subject. No matter how great the love God has, that love will not manifest unless God finds some objects to have give and take with. Now let me ask you •••• all men - good men here - do you have love? Do you have love? (‘Yest•). Where do you have love? In your head, your stomach or your cheat? So, where? In your arm, your legs or what? Actually, you do have love, but you do not know where. You do not realise that you have love because your love has never been activated. So far you have not had your object to have give and take with. God is love and God is the subject of love. However, this love will not manifest until you find the partner to have give and take with. No matter how perfect God might be, unless God finds men and women or subjects and objects to have give and take with, love cannot be manifested. Therefore, you men and women are growing from childhood to adolescence or later teens. When you are in the later teens you feel that you possess the world. You feel that you possess the entire world. Don’t you feel that? When you are growing up as young men and women you feel that the entire world belongs· to you. Ar e you in that stage or is that stage over? Haaa? ••••••• (laughter), Alright t Answer Father! Are you in that stage? Do you feel that you possess the world, that the entire world is yours? (‘Yea•).
Think. Who are you - all you men who have a woman sitting beside you. Who are you? Sitting together now aide by side, do you feel great or miserable? Why do you feel great? Some electricity is passing through you? And the women beside you? Do you feel some sensation? Yea? It is funny 1 isn’t it? A very strange feeling, right? It’s an entirely different world which you never experienced so far. The first time you met probably - sitting like this - the first time in your life. But gradually you feel like you are pulled toward your woman and your man. Your hand is going out trying to reach out to your neighbour’s hand now. Your mind is walking in that direction? Yes? Alright, you feel: “Well, what an impossible creature sitting beside me, I don 1 t want to even be near him or herl” Which one? (First onet 1 ) . First one? That’s what you mean by ‘great • - rightl
Where are those feelings coming from? Who do we resemble? \vhere do we get that feeling from? What is the origin of that feeling? (•God’). Yes, the resemblance is to God . God feels that way - that 1 s why you feel that way . Think of it. With Adam and Eve - the children near to God - don’t you think God wants to touch them? God just wants to pull them and be nearer to them, Yes? The same thing. God certainly wants to hug Adam and Eve, embrace them and even bite a little bit - in love. Often, when Mother was taking care of the baby, she just couldn’t contain her joy and showed her l ove so the baby got hurt. She loved so much. But that is not the punishment; that is the expression of love. Sometimes, the Parents, Father and Mother kiss their children so much so that a blue spot comes up on their cheeks, Then do you think the son will say, “You, Daddy, you Mummy, you hurt me, I’m gonna bring you to the court room. Let’s have a trialt”
-2- Yes, love has this kind of power, Well, husband and wife somtimes are in love to such ·-an intense degree, Sometimes -they kiss e0,ch other, Sometimes they bite the lips and cut them. Sometimes they even bite through the lips. The expression of such an intense love that you have even been bitten so that it hurts, However, that scar is a sign of glory, a sign of happiness, a sign of tremendous love, Do you understand? Sometimes you feel you want to carry your wife around on your back all the time, You would have a rope tying you together, You just want to walk with your woman, And nobody will criticize you, God will lo.c k at it and God will love it , because that’s the way-:- that’s how God’s overflowing love works. Do you follow? Dq you understand Father? ( 1 Yes 1 ) ,
Therefore, the original love is God. But, actually, the manifestation, the starting point of love is us. You, men and women ••• they ure the starting point. After you joined the Unification Church, did you love Father? Did you love him? ( ‘Yes 1 ) . Do yoµ love him? (Yes I) And how did you love him? You hacJ. never even seen him sometimes I You never even knew him, Did you still love him? Your love is even greater than the hunk of land of Great Britain? ( 1 Yes 1 ) .
Here is a white man; here is a black man; here is a yellow man. Why do you feel so close to each other. \-lhy don’t you feel anymore the strangeness between men and women, What is the true secret about it? What kind of disease are you suffering from? What kind of sickness are you suffering? What would you call that disease? Moon-sicknes s? Alright , let •s name it, It’s the Moon-sickness, Ucon-disease , or Moon-feverl You just love Reverend Moon. You love Father more than anybody else. Moon-fever - we have all caught Moon-fever, haven’t we? You never thought of meeting Reverend I-loon even in your dreams. An amazing thing actually happened to you, You never even thought you would meet Reverend Moon , You met F’ather through the Divine Principle. Then all of a. sudden some change came into your life, A change came about in your heart and all of a sudden you loved Father. All of a sudden Father is more valuable than anything else under the sun . Why is that? What is the reason? Because there was the power of love or the current of love flowing, You know, you learned the Divine Principle through the word of God, You learned Father. Then all of a sudden there was a flowing current - the circuit of love was connected - some power of love was flowing through you. Always this is a principle, When there is a perfect subject there a perfect obje·ct has to be, This is the power of Principle, The Reverend Moon - as you see - well, he is not the handsome ;nan . Do you think so, yes or no? ( 1 Yes 1 ) , You think he is handsome, right? (Yes), But Father thinks he is ugly. Is it true? (‘Nol’). Thank you, But the most important thing is not whether Father is handsome or ugly. That doesn’t matter . But some power is flowing through him, He is a perfect subject. Some power is going out from him and reaching out to you. Some power wave is going out from him so that you are 0<.1.ught in that wave. You have been caught within that wave. Then all of a sudden you’ve been activated, Some power, some wave , some strange wave is activating each one of you, so you feel like giving everything you’ve got to Father, Everything you ‘ve got , including your love, including your life, You just dedicated everything you’ve got for the sake of Father, knowing that this power is the ultimate and eternal value. Do you follow? When you feel that, then you feel spiritually so close to Father even though you seldom meet Father. But you feel so close spiritually. You get closer and closer every day when your fervent love develops. At a certain point the intensity of that love is becoming greater and greater and the moment comes for 1 spot 1 - you just confront •spot ‘. You feel the entire universe is remade. All of us - at that point you saw spirit world, The new world opened up to you. That Father calls explosion of love. \-lhen you reach trot point there is nothing you cannot see , The entire 1miverse you can see through eternally, You can reach the centre, the cent r al truth. You just,all of a sudden realise, you a re the son of the universe, When you act 11nd move in that centre, you know the entire universe responds to you. Even God responds t o you. You reach this tremendous power of love - you reach there and become totally intoxicated. You become drunken in that love. Every cell in your body is drimk and trembles ••• is jumping around and de.ncing, Every part of your body is just dancing around, You feel that sensation.
The amazing thing is this: Everything in this world, when it clashes, it shatters. Destruction comes. But whon great , intense love and love clash there is such a great cre.’.ltivity, creation, ne.1 phenomena and such a great construction is made, when love and love clash. The greatest of all creation and construction. This is truly the kingdom of mystery. The mysterious world has come to open to you. You would never have imagined that this entirely, totally mysterious world would come to open to you. So we are bound to walk that road of truth to reach that ultimate power of love. And you are beginning, you are initiating that joy so that you can become older in that journey 30 1 40, 50 1 60 1 70. The intensity of the realisation of that love gets greater and higher so that ultimately you can totally dissolve in that love. You arc just completely circled by thc~t love. Finally death comes - the end of my life comes, That ‘s the most beautiful dissolution of your body in love. You just totally disappear in love, or you have been swallowed by love. That’s what the worldly people oall death. Actually , in that case death is the absolute beauty, the absolute mystery and absolute fantasy. How can we live that kind of life? Because of true l ove , because we started out our life and based our life on true love, that is the 3.nswer . Do you follow Father? Unification Church is based on that true love. We can lea.p and bound - we can develop ourselves into the ultimate height of success. A wor,ldly couple - there are many husbands and wives out there - yes, there are couples too; but they don’t have that true foundation. So when they unite, they seem to be loving but there is no lasting power of love. They lose the power. It is dissolved and washed away . There is no consummation. There is no ultimate blossoming of that love. You all have actually the choice to go this way based on true love or the other way based on false love. Do you follow? So your basic beginning point is where? How rm10h you love Fatherl That is the beginning . That is the relationship where you begin. Now Father, ‘priceless ‘, asks you: ‘How much do you love Father’? How much? A 1 dime-worth 1 1 or ‘’impossible to even explain’? In the Unification Church, once the members real ise such a depth of love, developing true love - once -, they taste that love, then after that their life is no longer a problem. Nothing stops them. Somebody will beat you to death, but you will not surrender. Somebody will throw you in jail , you will not surrender. Some- body will push you dovm 1 jumping on you, you will not surrender , because you found ultimate and priceless love in the Unification Church, But what we are tnlking about here should not be empty words . It should be the actual way of life evecy day. Evecy day we should feel that sensation. In other words, your base should be: Before you love your man, before you love your woman, you must have a basis fo1.mdation to love your parents first. The love of parents should be a fo,md.at ion. You must connect yourself to the strongest love. You must connect yourself to parents. From parents you learn the history of love. So the husbcmd becomes the representative of the father, The wife becomes the representative of the mother , That’s the way it is designed to be. Furthermore, your husband is in the elder brother’s role as well - your elder brother, That was God’s original scheme. Your wife is also in the role of your younger sister - in a sister’s role . Think of it. When you feel your husband is your elder brother; when you feel your wife is your younger sister , how can you ever separate? It is a destiny, you two are 1.mited in destiny, Nothing under the sun can separate you, Women have to walk this r oad , You women, you must realise the love of God 1 and with that love, love your father and elde r brother who is your husband, That is the women’s role, Love Father and love your elder brother, Men , vice versa. Men receive the love of God. Love your mother, In other words, love your wife as mother , also as a younger sister, Your wife is a representative of both - Mother and younger sister. So God will not be jealous, As long as this love is one love there is no separation , no jealousy. One love, tho same love goes to the mother and to the sister. Then Mother will not become jenlous when you love your wife more because
-4- that wife is the mother’s represent::i.tive. ,\dually, loving your wife is loving your mother. Same thing! So there is no jealousy as soon as one love connects you. Do you follow? So, what is the fall of man? The fall of man is the separation from the love of God; separation from the Fathe r’s love; separ ation from the alder brother’s love. All three disconnected by the fall. That is the fall of man. Do you follow? How would you rest ore that ? So we have to come back in a rebirth process. We have to restore the brother first. First of all, you develop the love of brothers, brothers and sisters; brothers’ and sisters’ love comes first, So that you love each other more than your own brother, more than your own sister because you are connected by God. Do you follow? That is the one endeavour, Initially , men and women getting to know each other, have to be in a brother and sister relationship , We met as brothers and sisters , didn 1 t we? So far we have been living as brothers and sisters, From this point on , a strange feeling is developing in your heart. Well, that is, what would you call it, the feeling of love. lioman , all of ::i. sudden becomes a mysterious creature that is even prettier than the beautiful flying bird, even prettier than the blossom of a flower. Also , there is such a fragrance. The smell of women is just of heaven. Some- how you feel the universe in your woman, By meeting just one person you feel you met the entire universe. Just ‘cloud 9’ 1 just flying upl You thought that only you feel that way, but then you soon realise that ::i.lso the woman feels the same thing towards the man , It 1 s almost like electricity charges in two great batteries, Then all of a sudden the two batteries come together and crash - it sparks - they explode . At once 1 they melt into one , dissolved into one, melted into one thing, There was no separation anymore. Well, just thinking of it 1 do you feel gre::i.t? ( 1 Yes1 1 ) ,
So when you look at each other, there is nothing dir ty , nothing 1mGodly. From the top of your hair do~m to your feet there is nothing toot is 1mdesirable, Everything is desirable. You must feel that l So, when you are in love, you can taste everywhere the body of your loving one, Uormally , the dirty and the smelly place, you just don ’ t feel itl When true love manifests in a relationship even that becomes so sacred, so divine. What is the taste of love? The taste of love is the lk~rmony of taste - a harmonious taste, Then in the c::i.se that the woman is limping or h?.s a hunch-back or wh::i.tever 1 it doesn ‘t make any difference . Whatever the manner you walk, it doesn’t matter! vlhatever you do , however you move , it turns out to be heaven. That is supposed to be the power of love. The next room - can you hear Father? ( 1 Yes’). Do you feel that same hot love? (‘Yes 1 ) . Yes? ( ‘Yes’), Can you see me? ( 1 No 1 ) , Can you hear me? ( 1Yes 1 ) , (laughter). Love is mysterious, Actually , there is no end to describing love. But Father has already described it so well that there is no more to say, Everything is mixed up in one ;:irrow shooting for one heart - your eyes 1 your nose, your mouth, your sensation, your touch - all mixed up with your love becomes one arrow shooting out of you. You shoot that a rrow . Let 1 s name it the arrow of love . When you men and women shoot each other with arrows of love - an arrow is normally painful , it kills you , but the arrow of love is so tasty , you want to get more, So you quickly digest that ::i.rrow. Instead of pulling it out from the front, you pull it out from the back because you want to taste more . When the arrow of love has hit you, the power is so great . Through the momentum of that love - I mean the travelling arrow of love - you want to travel together ;:ill the way up to the heart of God. The arrow will hit the bosom of To.ther God up in he::i.ven, Alright? The nrrow will hit Him, You do not kill God, but God also loves that arr ow so much. He will pull it out from the bnck. What would God do ::i.f’ter that? There woulcl be music; there would be a dance; there would be a total h.:i.rmony of the universe surrounding God, surrounding Father, Gou will jump and dance. You see? Great Britain is
too small an island. Even God’s one foot cannot rest there. God is jumping around in all of the world - one continent to another. This continent and the entire world is God’s stage.
You know, God has a definite purpose iil ,creating man - in order to enjoy that kind of dance and music some day. Otherwise why would God take so much trouble to create you - you troublesome child! Why? Do you follow? So men and women together - if the arrow of love is flying out and hitting the woman first, the same arrow penetrates the man - all in one arrow like this, The woman is just 1u.shing in the arrow of love further and the husband will pull it out. There is no rejection!
io 1 what is most priceless in this world? Money is priceless, most important, right? (‘Not’) How about knowledge? Knowledge is important. ( 1 No 1 ) How about power? For man the woman is most important I right? ( 1 No 1 ) 1-.hat would be the good of the woman unless this woman has love - A woman with love, that’s prenious •• A woman without love is a chunk of meatball. Man with love, that is preoious. Again - a man without that love is a big, ugly chunk of meatball.
What is the center of the family? Lovet Love dwelling in the family, that is precious. If a family does not have this love, that family is like a desert. llhich nation is most important and priceless? A nation with love? A world with love\ A universe with love.
We men are supposed to be born in love, to grow up in love and taste and live in love. We consummate our life in love. Do you follow me? (‘Yes’) How do you feel now? (‘Great•) Great. Today is the first day to discover that process and beside you some strange creature is sitting, you have never met. A strange and mysterious creature is sitting beside yoµ which you never disco- vered before. Then all of a sudden - I am sure many of you did’ t have enough time to eat or anything, Your stomach may be empty, but you don’t feel empty. You feel full. I don’t know, all of a sudden you feel full, happy and some exciting motion has come over your body, So when the power of love is activated, there is no such sensation of feeling of hunger. Gonet The sensation of sleep - gonet The activation of the power of love makes your life so exciting in a way. Do you follow Father? So who is sitting beside you? Some strange mysterious animal is sitting beside you who imparts a strange power. That strange animal is known as your so-called husband, The name of this animal is husband, the name of that animal is wife. When that animal becomes a man, when you truly manifest the taste of love, when you become a love-character - in other words, when you manifest men and women of love, than that animal turns into a man or woman. Until you show love you are animal, Do you follow?
So, in the future when you make a home and live as husband and wife - how would you live? Would you live crying every day or would you love and smile every day’? (‘Love and smile•). Your laughter, your smile should be a sound greater than the sound of sorrow, the sound of crying. You must overcome, Your laughter, your smile should be the strongest of all in your family, in your home, in y011r life, You just conquer love. You know the pigeon? Pigeons or doves communicate with each other. They go: “Guh 1 guh 1 gu gugugugugu”. That’s the sound of lovet They are talking with each other.
so, when you live with each other later on - as husband and wife - it’s far greater than pigeon or dove. Your Gu gugu-sound is so loud, that all the neighbours have to run away. They say: “I cannot stand that couplet Their loving sound is so great, I mean so loud, you know, I cannot be a neighbour to them\ “I mean the satanic world! It’s good. It’s policing up the entire neighbourhood that way\ But your true love - no matter how intense you manifest it as man and woman - no matter who you bother, the police will not come , the fire-engine will not come, because you are supposed to live inten~ly in the manifestation of love. Don’t you want to live like this? Don’t you want to
create a home like that? Yes or not ( ‘Ye·s’) Do you know how to laugh? Do you have the capability to laugh? (‘Yes’) Your mouth, your lips are rolled back, so that you are entirely different. When you laugh, you just laugh out loud. Go ahead and don 1 t hesitate to laugh. Do you have the capability to laugh? Yes or no. (‘Yes’) Even thinking of it you feel excitement. What about then actually doing it? You are just standing upside down 1 walking on your hands instead of your feet and still you feel joy, you feel go~d. Don’t you war_it to live with that exciting and bubbling enthusiasm, that dazzling and romantic outflow of love. Don’t you want to live like that? (‘Yes’)
However, that life does r.ot begin today. Don’t misunderstand. That life will begin in three years. The three years are preparation. You just prepare your- self for total ooncluctability of love, so that you become a total chunk of gold or chunk of iron. So that the circuit and energy of love can flow through you a hundred per cent. In other words you make yourself available one hundred per cent for the conductability of your future love.
Right now you go and dream. You become a day-dreamer - you dream for the future. Alrightt Three years of day-dreamingt You are going to write a long novel, an exciting novel. Yes? You day-dream and write a novel, Then three years later - live it, do itt Your novel, your dream is so fantastic - so even God will come down and say: “Let me see your fantasy, Let me read your novel l” God will say “Let me see it, let me read itt 11 Do you follow?
So from this time on everybody will start to write a diary - a diary of love - and a diary in form of letters: “My dear Lover” or 11 My dear husband” 1 “My dear wife” - trying to mobilize every beautiful word you have learned so far. Describe your husbandt Describe your wifet Your novel, your diary is going to be far more fantastic than the Disney World. Do you follow? Even in your diary if the word is not enough then go ahead and draw your wife’s eyes - big eyes. “My wife has very special eyes t She has tlilis kind of shape I this kind of ball, this kind of shade - boy , this is like a small beautiful heavenly lake in her eye~t You become a poet, a great poett Write a poem about your wife, about your husband - of course your future wife and husband - longing for each other for three years writing about the dreams and even about the tears. “My wife’s tears dropping down - and my tears join together. It creates a lake, evaporates, and goes up to heaven.” Your creativity, your capability must be fully mobilized to describe, to praise your wife, to praise your husband.
But sometimes you describe romantically you know, not always gloriously, Some- times describe your most pitiful situation like becoming a beggar. And there- even under that miserable life, there you describe true love - even that which won the world in the darkness. Think of it: “My wife comes even as a beggar. She comes to my bosom, sleeping beside me. For ordinary people she smells like the devil 1 but it becomes a fragrance to me . I will embrace her, my love will be consummated and make her so divine and holy. I will lift her up into heaven, You have no limitation to what you can dream . Love manifests everywhere. Love even manifests so beautifully in the bathroom. You are sitting on the toilet and you are giving energy t6 push out your waste. Even that moment and that smell you can describe in terms of love. Even in these circumstances you can be a poett A great poem comes out of it.
When you go out and work for God and True Parents and Unification Church all kinds of people will persa cute you. They’ 11 say: “You Moonie I you Sunny, you Kingy - you know I all kinds\ But that does not bother you any more. “I have love. I have my husband, I have my wife. Not Nothing 1mder the sun bothers met” Even if somebody pierced me in the side , blood will come out. That will be blood of level I can sprinkle my blood of love all over the world. I have that capability. I can give my life, Do you follow?
Then from this time on what will you write? What would you say? What are you going to do? What is Father asking you to do now? From this time on you are supposed to write what? To write down a diary. A diary of love. “My dear Husband,” and “My dear Wife,” - that’s the way you start writing, alright? Then you write such a beautiful novel, beautifi1l poem and forty days before the final wedding you exchange the novel and read each others novel, Then you read
each other’s novel. Then you really appreciate and understand: “Boy, what a wife I’ve gotl What a husband I’ve got t Oh, my deu.r l” And unite. So that you come to the day of husband and wife consummated in a holy wedding. Then you just embrace each other, you know. You just lift her up and embrace so tight your arm will be moved out of joint, On that wedding day you get two arms out of joint, you become a disabled man, liell I then Father will say: “That Is a, sign of great love - immortal love,” And Father will enshrine him: “Look, the hero of love,” Don’t worry about itl If you become a disabled man like that because of the sickness of love, Father will take care of it,
Everybody has big dreams, Day-dreamer, night-dreamer, 24-hours-a-day- dreamerl Do you follow? You see? You must feel that much, that big, that gigantict Think big and hight
Suppose, your husband is not so handsome, “I wish, my husband would be little more handsomel” Well , then there is a way , Don’t look at him st r aight in the front. Look from the back first. Then there is some attraction of animal - as a man . Man has a man’s dignity and charm, You start to know the man ‘s world from the backl That’s al rightl He is still man , You should love your husband from the back. Yes, that’s very importantl There should be some attractiveness from the back. Alright l If you graduate in looking at him from the back, then the next step is to look at him from the side, So you learn the beauty of the side of man , Then gradually and slowly you come to the front and you look at him straight from the front, Then you find gradually you like it. There is some beauty in him. “I did 1 t know itl There is some beauty in himl” No matter how ugly your man might be, you cannot compare that masterpiece of man to Great Britain’s most famous museum - some sculpture there, But your man is a thousand - a million times greater than any of the world’s masterpie ces in that museum, Alright, you go to the museum and there is a sculpture of man, You just talk to him 1 bite him 1 flap him 1 embrace him, Did he react to you? No reactionl But no matter how ugly your husband might be, if you bite him, he’ll say: 11 0 och11 - reaction. That means that your husband is capable to react to love, too. Right? Who can say 11 oooh” 1 can say “love”.
The important thing is to get out of the concept the preprogrammed concept: “Oh, my man is short. My man is fat and my man is ugly.” Get out of that concept!
So , when you look at the pictures drawn by the elementary school students , there is a beauty, an incredibly naive picture, But there is a beauty, Nobody else can describe that beauty than elementary school students. Adults cannot imitate the children I s pictures I can they\ We just cannot do that. Only children can create the same thing,
The clothes you wear - you bought the material, you designed to your own liking, However other people might look at it, for you it is most precious. For you each othe r is like an unstained cloth , So you are going to determine how you love him how you love her. It ’ s not by the world ’ s standard , it is going by your sta~dard\ Even you feel certain attachment to clothes and your jacket and whatever you wea r, How much more to a living man and woman - no matter what, no matter how uneducated, no matter how ugly-looking\ Who says , this is an ugly manl Who says that! The women generally have three beauties , No, 1 woman’s beauty is this area., (Father points to the hips). You have never heard it before, have yo~. The . women have such beautiful hips - in many cases. Don’t look at your wife straight in the face: 11 0h, my wife ‘s face is so and so. 11 No l Look at her body! Hips, then bosom. In some cases the f ace is not that spectacular, but the bosom in many cases is very spectacula.r,
When you say: “Ugly woman.” What would you imagine? Is it a thin or a fat woman? Heavy. The face looks like a pot ato, so you say ugly. But in most cases those women whom you genera lly call ugly, they have the most gorgeous bosom, For man not o~ly a beautiful face is .i mportant, but woman ’ s body , specifically the bosom is most important, So , when you touch a woman, there should be some floppiness,
They shouldn’t be like a dry wall. Touching a wom:m 1 s chest you must not feel you are touching a dry wall, where the little fly is stopping on the wall and claps Nothing\ That 1 s no good.
Father admires the western culture in one way. The western cultuxe is a women’s culture. Woman wants to be proud of her body, There are only two places: bosom - .they expose the bosom , right? And the hip, They are trying to make their waist tighter and tighter, Why do you make your waist tighter? So that you have you hip extraordinarily exposed, In order to expose your beautiful hip very well, you want to make your waist tight, When man and woman walk , the woman’s hip is touching man ’ s side. So, you know, man is like this, woman is this way. So, when man a.nd woman go together is just fits perfectly. There is no wasted room. That 1 s the way God designed. The hips a.re very important for the women’s good health, The women - unless you have a good side here, you would not bear too many children. But when the woman has a strong body with a good hip 1 good bosom, she could be a good mother because she’ll have one child after the other and be a beautiful home-maker, beautiful ma.nagement and take care of her husband very well. There is an old saying in the oriental philosophy that the beautiful woman has very poor fortune. A beautiful face has a poor fortune - they go together. Why? When you see a normally beautifully woman - thin face, very classic looking, misty eyes and very thin body - this kind of woman will probably one time be extinguished, will not last, Do you follow? Third beauty: the face, When you look at the face , the important part are the eyes, nose and ears. The important thing is not just in the front part of the face, but the entire proportion of the face - side, back, etc. Do you follow? So actually, a woman has three beauties , hip 1 bosom and face. Face comes as the third point, Next I beauty is the walking beauty. Moving the hip is no good, Thi-s is the most sacred area. Keep it wellt Those who move the hip while walking too much - that woman always needs more than one husband. They always change husband. That’s kind of characteristic, So she is wandering around the world to meet another man - man after man. Next the appearance of hand and foot is very important, So when you look at your foot, Father sees, that person will have a hard time 1 a hard life, suffering life, fortunate, Hand tells a lot. You normally look just at the front, You look at a man like looking at a doll: full face or good face - oh, pretty ••• oh , not pretty. Just simple, You want to measure man or woman in simple fashion, No good l No matter how ugly the woman, how ugly the man, there is a beauty. There is beauty and a special feature, a special characteristic in that woman and man. Man and woman are entirely different - two different features, but going together, making perfect harmony, Do you follow Father? Also, you should not look at man just from the appearance. liomen, you must look at man from his body, structure , build, Women, you have no way to really appreciate men , do you? You have not learned that art yet. without even knowing man~ how could you say: ’ Oh, my husband is not that perfect!’, or ‘That man is not so and so, so and so ••• ’ You have no right to say itl Everybody will feel: ’ Why Father picked this woman as my wife? why Father picked this particular man as my husband?’ I am sure you want to know , don’t yout But I wont tell you - but three years later Father doesn’t even have to tell you, you’ll discover it yourself, Three years later you will start to know; after the third child is born, you will know it fullyl “Fully” means 1 Oh 1 boy, my husband is just absolutely perfect I’ ’ My wife is absolutely perfect\ Father, how did you know it?’ Do you follow? So you know each other , discover each other - not in one month , not in two months, it takes about eight years , because three years l ater you begin to know each other truly. Then after four years - because you need actually four years to give birth to three children, right\ Until then, you’ll never really know each other. But it takes about seven or eight years to really know each other fully. Sometimes Father will allow husband and wife to fight, That ’ s al right some- times, Under one condition: in order to love more , you fight, There is no other reason, You have to compete how much love you give each other - for that reason you can fight, “Yes, I am not going to be defeated by my husband.
-9- I •m gonna win my husband in loving him”. “No, no, my wife never will beat me, I will love her more than she loves met” That kind of fightl That’s the fight Father allows, Alright, that kind of fight you must fight 24 hours a day. That’s a good fight, When you hear Father now, don’t you feel excited? (•Yest•) Alright, Let’s draw the conclusion, In order to realise the Kingdom’ of God on earth or ful- fil the will of God here on earth, what is the centre? The true family . we must restore Adam’s family, Noah’s frunily, How many people are there in Adam’s family’? Eight members. You are going to be Adam ’ s family, That means, after your full wedding three years later , or it may come earlier as Father decides, from that point on, you are supposed to create eight members of your family. That is the minimum mandate. Alright? These three couples - three sons and three daughters -they also represent the three major disciples of Jesus Christ. Winning and restoring them, that will become the restored Noah’s family. That was Jesus ’ plan in his time, Do you follow? Father wants you to know, you are supposed to be the Adam of modern days , Noah of modern days. You have to surpo.ss them. In order to do that 1 ·after your wedding is conducted, you create at least eight members of fo.mily and more. When Jesus was born three wise men came from the East, praised the birth of Jesus and presented the gifts. By the same token when you ’ re giving birth to your children, there must be spirutual children who are in the position of the wise men from the East. You must win three spiritual children at least, and they come with their wives together. Actually, two thousand years ago the wise men should have come with their wives, tool Do you follow? In other words, Father is stressing you must have spiritual ohildrent At least threet There were three archangels in heaven. They were supposed to bow down to Adam and they failed because Lucifer failed. When Adam and Eve give birth to a child that’s the moment the whole angelic world - starting with the three archangels - are supposed to be dancing around and rejoicing over the birth of the child. They failed. When Adam and Eve complete their family and give birth to a child, that is a day of joy of the entire universe. Because the angelic world is happy, God will be happy, Of course, Adam’ s f.amily is happy. Do you follow? You are the central figure now. So you have to walk that path, I want you to know that when you make up your family, when you give birth to a child 1 that will bring the universe joy, Therefore, this three year period from this time on to the wedding, this is the time to prepare your archangels, your wise men from the East. That means spiritual children. Without having spiritual children you have no right to get together. If you get together and give birth to a child, you must be ashamed. You are not privileged to have your child at your bosom and love him. You have no right to do thatt Without spiritual children, and you have your own children, Satan will always accuse you: “You are not entitled to have a child. No , that’s not a heavenly child, I will take itl” Satan always invades. So your spiritual children are like a shield always surrounding you, protecting you, Satan is out- side of the spiritual children because they are in the satanic world - the satanic world is behind them. So your spiritual children are always protecting you. So, when you have three spiritual children surrounding you , you are like Jacob ’ s 12-member family. In other words, like Jacob ’ s tribe, By the same token you are creating Jacob ’ s tribe in a way, With your spir itual children, with your own family , you are making up the tribe - your own tribe. There will be 12 members of your family as well as spiritual children , making up Jacob’s tribe, then moving on to become united into one and moving on to 70 members, which is the national level, When Moses was leading the Isro.el people out of Egypt, the 72 tribe leaders surrounding him were like the commanders of 600,000 Israel pe ople. When you become a tribe of 70 1 which is the national level, then you can move on to 120 1 which is the world- wide level. The tribe will grow into the world-wide level. I want you to know that Jesus was supposed to have the 70 disciples 1 120 disciples and move on to the world-wide level of dispenso.tion. But the crucifixion stopped it, Therefore after the crucifixion and resurrect i on Jesus was organized spiritually, The 70 and 120 disciples came after that.
-10- There are different levels of heaven. lihen you come to the church, it’s the brother’s heaven ••• brother and sister relationshipc are there. Initially, there is the ‘brother-heaven’ 1 the brother level. Then it is elevated into the family level. You are going now into that level. And then tribal level, national level, world-wide level - different levels of. heaven. And you are going to succeed to each level. Do you understand now? Do you ‘follow? Brother-heaven, family-heaven, what is after that? There is tribal-heaven, national-heaven, then the world-heaven. That’s the way we open up the stage. And what is the building block? The family. The f amily is the building block of each level. Anyone in this room, anyone under the sun, who is trying to destroy the family, is the enemy of all levels in heaven because he is actually destroying the building block of the Heavenly Kingdom. The family is the building block, When you destroy or separate it, this is the worst crime under the sun, because that is actually destroying heaven, destroying the world, nation tribe and family - everything, The family is the centre of everything. When Adam and Eve fell the family broke down. There is no more nation, no more tribe. By the same token, you are in the same position. so, your position is a very formidable, responsible position, Ea ch one of you, Do you follow Father? What kind of road is Father walk.ing’? The same one I Father is wa lking the same road of Principle, starting all by himself. Fa ther · also is the one who installed the Holy Wedding in 1960, Then Father blessed immediately his three disciples - just like the same pattern Father described._ After that the 36 families were given the blessing, That actually represented 12 for forma- tion, 12 for growth, 12 for perfection - all in all, 36. If there were no fall, everything was supposed to have been perfected at once - Old Test ament era, New Testament era, Completed Testament era, This is why 12-12-12 make up 36 families blessing, Then 72, then 120. That’s the way Father progressed, Next 430, 430 couples’ blessing represent 430 years of struggle of Israel in Egypt, also Korea’s history was 4300 years, 430 couples restore t-hat, So,we have gone already out of world-wide Egypt, In other words, we have gone through the wilderness. We are in the cons=tion era. The period of Exodus of the Israel people is comparable to that history. When you read the Exodus 1 there was manna and quail coming down from heaven and a ll the 600 1 000 people were fed. By the same token, fundraising is the equivalent to that activity. We are in the wilderness today, We all together represent the Third Israel. So we are walking through the wilderness. However, through the MFT 1 s or fundraising activities God is giving us quails and manne in abundant degree. We will not suffer. We are not going to be h1.lllgry, We will not be tired out until we reach our Canaan. Then a.ctually, the people will come and see tha.t Unification Church is booming in every way, not only spiritu.ally but a lso physically. Our industries are booming, our businesses are booming, So everybody wants to take advantage of Father. But coming in, they could not do that. God will never allow it, In many cases the people are coming in for the materialistic success with the Unification Church. It would not workl This is a very serious analogy: Let 1 s say we are coming out of Egypt. We are all hungry. Everybody starves to death, In order to survive we have to kill each other and eat each other. What would you do? You kill the black man first to feed the white people? Or you kill the white person to feed the black people and let the black people survive. Wh.~.t would you · do? Who shall become a sacrifice first? Reverend Moon was part of that h1mgry s tarved a rm;r, or journey. What would Reverend Moon do, don’t you want to know that? Father is from the yellow raoe, So Father will sacrifice the yellow race to feed the white people and black peoole 1 so tha.t white and bla ck can. survive, That’s what Reverend Moon would do, So right now Father is actually doing it in Unification Church, Who is becoming the greatest sacrifice in our movement? Yellow people. Japanese, Koreans, they are rea lly squeezed to death. They a re giving their utmost sacrifice for the sake of Africa, for the sake of Europe, for the sake of America. Did you know that? Let’s say now, Reverend Moon is turning the commanding post ovor to you, . You white people now have the hegemonyl What would you do? Would ~ou still sacrifice the Japanese, the Asian people for the sake of the survival of the white people and the black people? Would you do tha.t? ( 1 Nol 1 ) What would
-11- you do then? (White people!) Truel You a re white people! Then you sacrifice the white people in order to let the yellow r ace survive let the blaok people survive. What about black people? Black people shouid sacrifice their own r ace in order to have Asian people sur•1ive , in order to have white people survive. That is the way of justice of God. That’s the way justice of God is going to be done. Do you follow? So many people are asking Father, “Father, could you come and give me my ideal husband and wife, Asian man and woman?” So many people requested Father. Why? Because your heart kr.owsl Because Asian people have given so far more sacrifice than anybody else for our movement. So, you know, your conscience knows, your heart in moving towards those people, the Asian people. Do you follow? This is the kind of movement Father is leading. When Father comes to England he does not think: “Dennis , what are you doing? Doris, what are you doing? Why can’t you make more money , why can’ t you raise more fUnds? Alright I I want to take some more money out of you when I go back to Asia or America. I need your moneY”. That ’ s not the way Father works . When Father came to England , Father was trying to bring every benefit from other parts of the world for the sake of England. Instead of taking something away from England , Father is giving and giving and giving to this country , leaving everything behind here and he will go with empty hands . Going out of England with empty hands, that’s Father ’ s way. Do you follow? French prosperity should not be for the French people alone. No , for the sake of Asia, Africa , Germany, for example. Beyond your national interest you are really serving the entire Europe - then Germany would become the central point of the European nati ons . That’s the way it works. That ’ s God’s principle. This is the way to survive in the sight of God . Service ! Sacrifice l Giving yourself for the sake of others! That ’ s the only way you can survive in God’s world . Do you follow? When you have the wedding, when you create a home , try to serve your husband. Even give some head massage too. Your husband might have a headache because of a lot of Divine Principle lectures probably, Then , in the bathroom , you wash the back. And then man vice versa . The wife must be like a servant to the home. Man should be like the king of the home , actually. That means all the bigger responsibilities are man’ s - responsibility of man. Man takes up the responsibility, don’t shy away from the responsibility! llhich one is easier: to become a good king or a good servant? Which one is more difficult? Which one do you choose? Which way would you choose? Way of servant or way of king? Which one is easier to become? ( ’ Servant 1 ) True . Woman is easier . The way of servant is easier than the ,my of man becoming a king . King means r~sponsibility. Man will take up the responsibility , take up the fight , take up the ultimate destiny. Do you follow? In the western culture a ll these things a re upside down . It ’ s a woman ’ s world here. Every woman is like a queen. She just sits and the man is working like a beaver and like a servant. That 1 s upside down. That family will not last, Its tradition must be changed , You woman l Do you know clearly? ( 1 Yesl’) Alright , then you have a peaceful home . The Japanese woman is most ideal - ideal for the heavenly wife. They are the God-made heavenly wife. Japanese women really serve as a s ervant, Probably that 1 s why men like Japanese women , do youl You greedy men t However , man ’ s role is even more severe and difficult. The man should be a man who takes up the fightl That ’ s the man ’ s job . Take up the responsibilityl That 1 s the man ’ s job . So, wife try to make your husband king , nor servant l Try to jump down your husband as a servant . Mnn tired out from the outside fight is coming home , really tired out , knocked out . At home , woman receives that man, Cheer him upl Encourage him l Mnke him feel like a king again , so that he can go and fight o.gain. That’s the wife ’ s role . In many , many cases , however, mnn is going out , working hard , earning money and fighting all kinds of battles and responsibilities , and when he comes home he needs some comfort. Then the woman , waiting a ll day long, “Y ou camel Come in , come in , come in t I need your love . You rub my back. You do the washing , you do the la1mdry 1 you do the cooking! So many women ar e doing it right now, Men a re becoming r11ined by women.
- 12- So , women, make him king l Let him be like a. king, feel like a king , feel the responsibility, every cell charaed with energy at home and send him out for the greater job outside, Let him really fulfil a heroic job l S-0 1 in other words , actun.lly , the important thing is this: l-fhen you make your husband king, you are automatically his 1-;ife , therefore , you are queen l By making him king you becorae a queen! Do you see? tlor:ian , if you chop your husband’s neck down or trample him as a servant and you try to be a queen - how can you be a queen? That • s not a queen , that ~ a r asoal t Apparently, men feel so good now. Fc1.ther , thank you , don •t you l But women do you feel bad? Did you lose? Nothingl Father is making man actual ly king and makes you queen, Reverend Moon matched you , brought men and women together as man and womc1.n , husband and wife. Father really wants you to become a successful home , a heavenly home. Would you do it? ( ’ Yesl ’ ) Would you live up to Father ’ s expectation? Those who say: “Father , trust us , we shall not let you down , We will live up to your expectation , r{e ’ ll become a heavenly husband and wife, we ’ ll create the heavenly home; we ’ ll create a heavenly kingdom here on earth”, Would you swear that? ( ’ Yes I’ ) Then as a sign, men , l ift up your right arm, Women , lift up left arm, And sit close to each other , Arms , reach out to each other . Don ’ t reach at somebody else ’ s wife l Your own wife , alright? Hold tight, tight , tight 1 tight 1 tightl ~lhose hand is not tight? Women ’ s hand inside l Good , good l Man on the top. Automatically you like that , That ’ s the automatic truth because mG.n is the subject , woman is object, Man is external , outside, Worno.n is inside . That•s the na tural way . Do yru folJm.f?(Dennis: “Everybody is standing up in this room l” ) They didn ’ t? Still do itl Lookl They are still doing it l What are you doing? Keep going , keep going! Sit devm and do itl You stay like that the whole night , don ’ t you l Would you say to Father , 1 Yes 1 ? Alright , loud and. clear l (Yes l ) ( 1 Yeees l’ ) ( 1 Yeees l’ ) One more l ( ’ Yeees l’ ) One more l ( •Ycees l’ ) One more l ( 1 Yeees l 1 ) Alright, thank you , (Applause), It ’ s a joyful day. For you it is an infinitely joyful d2,y , In oriental tradition , we normally kill a chicken, kill the hog, kill the cow , kill e verything , Sometimes you feel like kill ing the wife , killing the husband , and eating it up , However, tonight there are so mcl.IlY happy couples , so many infinitely happy couples , there is no time to kill the chicken , no tir:ie to kill the cow, no time _to kill the hog , So Father said: “Alright , Father wants to feed you invisible food, spiritual food , So , you have been bilving a banquet , the word of God, the word of Father, That ’ s the banquet food. Did you have that? (‘”Test ’ ) (Applause) . So you know how you start your family , then go on and move 011 to the nation and the world, You know a clear concept. You have a clear concept of your frunily life, Father wants you to be emperor , king and queen , ~nd become a Messiah - Messiah in your own area. What is the Messiah? The Messiah is the representative of the Parents , You represent Father and Mother , That ’ s the Mess i ah, Do you follow? From now on , we have to move on to the Engagement Ceremony, Engagement is the Promise . Promise not just between man and woman , No l That kind of promise will break , It ’ s a promise between , God 1 True Parents a,-,.d you I The three levels ’ names together make one promise. That • s the eng.:i.gement, In love God will allow and approve your engc’,gement, True Pa rents in love approve your engagement, You men and women approve each other ’ s engagement in love, Love is the key- word of the Engagement Ceremony . Do you follow? ( 1Yes 1 Father! 1 ) When you get into o.n engagement and finish the enG’agernent , actual ly , you open the door to the Kingdom of God , You have not entered yet , but :rou open the door, When you are trying to get into the Kingdom of Heaven , you will all of a sudden find your two feet are chained, you cannot move; everything is just hanging behind you so that it is holding y ou up, You cannot move on to that gate ! All history will say: “Now look , you represent my tradition . You represent my tradition and so forth, In other words , they are trying to use you. Also , Satan will say: 11 Mmml You ronnot enter heaven , because your blood is my blood , Satan’ s blood l This Satc.n is your father , You don ’ t come out of True Parents I blood yet”, Sn tan will accuse you there,
-13- Sa.tan’s illicit and evil blood comes through the illicit love between man and woman. Man and woman united to,;ether with Satan. They received Satan’s blood, Heaven is chopped off, So now in restoration man and woman united together see for the first time God and True Parents united together, then you united together. This t irne you receive the True Parents ’ blood, so that in the eyes of God and Satan you shall become True Parents’ generation, So we have to go through one more ceremony. It’s almost like a blood transfusion, Your own blood is moved out of your body - totally moved out, This stained blood - outl Then True Parents’ blood is transfused into your body - syr.1bolically. After that ceremony is done, then you men and women stand on the side of Godl Then you a.re capable to receive the true love of God 1 true love of True Parents and all of a sudden your chain is gone. No more oho.in on your footl That must be conducted at the perfection of the growth level where Adam and Eve fell. At that particular position the Change- of Blood Ceremony must take place. In other words, you must be born again, spiritually, as well as physically. By being through certain conditions you must be born again and receive the new blood, becoming heavenly citizens - externally and internally , Then move on from the family to the tribe, nation and the world. All the way up into Heaven. After that you actually exercise the love of God 1 love of True Parents. United with True Parents , you can go through the wedding . You can marry as man and woman, husbn.nd c..nd wife. Before your wedding, two conditions must be met:- 1, Your blood must be changed from the satanic lineage to heavenly lineage; 2. You must resurrect yourself . You must become a resurrected body. You must become a living person before you get married , mustn ’ t you? A dead person cannot marry . So from the sight of God you must come to life again, Then to through the wedding. Then form a family, Then the most important qualification is this: After you go through thnt I you DI11St demonstrate your absolute commitment and loyalty to God and True Parents. So that even if Satan chops your neck off 1 you would not surrender , You must demonstrate your steadfastedness, That ’ s the key. By doing so you are restoring the failure of Adam, you are restoring the failure of Jesus and subjating Satan, Then you become the victorious sons and daughters of God . That ’ s the way it goes. At that point you are going through the wedding- march, You are walking through the 6000-year old history. So you are walking into the temple of God, Then everything becomes yours , because you become totally God’s sons and daughters , So everything that belongs to God , belongs to you - all in one , Do you follow? so, Engagement Ceremony is what? What did Father say? It ’ s the promise and opening the door. That’s the Engagement, Then, what should we go through? One more condition? One more Ceremony? That is the Change- of- Blood Cer emony , or Cho.nge-of-Lineage Ceremony. But even though you go through those conditions , your body is actually stained, remaining in the satanic world, So you have three years to live and to demonstrate. You have to become a born-again child , starting all over again from the child: Adam’ s position, Jesus’ position, etc., coming up in resurrection. Who shall give you rebirth? Women l Women alwo.ys give the birth , Women have that rolel Do you follow? That’s why women in tho initial three years will have a leading role. Woman is more like a mother - mother ’ s role. The woman is giving birth to the husband, So women must be representing three elements: mother, elder sister and wife, The wife ’ s position comes later, on the third level, But first of all 1 she has the mother ’ s role , elder sister ’ s role, then wife ’ s role. You follow? But tonight the three ceremonies you are going through will give you the condition that Satan hn.s no right to prevail over you unless you surrender to Satan, So 1 actually , all needed ceremonies will be conducted tonight and only a formality of 1o% remain as the wedding, You follow? Realistically speaking, internally speaking, tonight ’ s ceremony is mor e important. At the wedding in condition you walk through the Old Testament era, New Testament era and the Completed Testament era. At the Wedding Ceremony, you will be given the True Parents• love, You will be given their blessing. That’s what we call Blessing, At that point you shall become the branches of the True Parents. You follow? Engagement Ceremony connected
-14- with the Change-of-Lineage Ceremony, then nesurrection Ceremony . Do you follow? (‘Yest’). So rie;ht now this is the finc1l chance when you cnn say: “Father, I just cannot accept this man or this woman as my husband or wife”. Before you go through this ceremony. If you want to speak up 1 Father will give you one cha.nee now. Speak upt Th<m this person should be moved out of this ceremony because you have no right ·to go through this ceremony and say something else later . Impossible l Because it is scaled off in the sight of God - you are engaged man and woman , husband and wife . Afte r that_, no more recourset Nobody so far . Do you all accept? 1\.re you all lmppy men and women, husband and wife? ( 1 Yes l’ ) Once more l ( 1 Yes 11 ) Once mor e l ( 1 Yes•) Alright. Acclamation donet (Applause) .
