Father visits Unification Theological Seminary, Barrytown, New York - Original document

- How do you like school? Is it easy or bard? (Challenging). You a.re the !1.rst that Father is sending to complete education.

Everyone before you in the U.S., Korea and Japan had to build the church.

Why is Father sending you to school? Is it just a whim? You must know

Before there was so much disappointment and despair — everything

is settled down -now, as compared to before. But instead of saying,

“Thank you — you are saying ‘\lhy am I here~- you remember those old days when you were dating”.

So Father knows everything — what it is like to be in school.

Father tells David Kim not to let you sleep,to be very strict on you.

Do you think Grandpa Kim is too old? (No: — you should see him play tennis:) Is he too strict on you? (No!) Well, he says you say he’s

too strict — shall I tell him to be more strict? “ Ik> you think God is easy going and loving or ts he str’ict? (Strict.) A teacher who is liked all the time is not a good teacher. U be is

11lted, yet he is strict - he is a good teacher. If a teacher only gives all good marks and no homework — is he a good teacher? But it be is . strict . and still talks after the bell rings and gives you much home-

work? , But (No!) - I have learned the oppo_site from you. Ib you want me

to be like that teacher? You say you like :Father, but do yOJ. r~ally like Ft:l ther’l (:__Yes!) · But 1.f you real.ly find out what kind of person Father · really 1s, will you still ,

11.ke Father (Yes!)

Acro’Ss the river 1n Kingston they are say1fl8 UTS is a tearful

school and there 1a brain\18.sbing going on. (laughter). ~

Why did Father really bring you here to this Seminary? (To study). ’ You have been waiting to see Father, but Father likes that kind of student that is so busy thl\t he bas no time to see Father.

I! there are some academic classes going on now and you have

“cut” class to come and listen to Father, then Father does not welcome that so much. (several students got up and left).

When you join the Unification Church your friends and family may or may not see a change· in you. But after you come to UTS you may like

to give commands, respected by everyone, instead of serving. If this happens in your 2 years here then Father’s expectation of YoU will very much be betrayed. But if a.f’ter you graduate, you are willing to do any hard work on command, strongly goal-orlented, tqen I -want you to be like that. You

. must realize bow much strictness you have to go through in order to be

like that. Look at Yale and Harvard, they are getting less and less

strict. When you grad~te from here then you need to lead the Harvard

and Yale students. Actual.ly those students are smarter than you (in

grades), but bow do you lead them? By getting smar~ter than them?

( No). By learning the tradition ot Father which is strictness. I - To you going without a meal once a day or week (fasting), _J;bat should be a. natural thing. If you \ilere only given .9ne mea; a. day

you should be quite prepared to a~cept that and continue working~ Our school should deserve a vacation but when the norma.l vacation ,

’ ti.me comes.you should say okay, I will go fund.raising tor the sake ot this country. Why” are you waiting tor an Oriental, Rev. Moon, who even bas

cheap clothes on? Everyone vlll say )’9u a.re doi08 the ‘Wl’Ong th~.

The trouble 1s with those people who oppose Father and Unification Church,

they a.re not thinking or the actual welfare of their own sons and

daughters, but they are only concerned about their own welfare — keep-

ing their own children around themselves.

But Father is . serving as a bridge to the new future world. King- dom of Heaven on Earth. Maybe tbl\t is why you are waiting for Father.

So you can use him tor that way or bridge to get to that new world,

But if you are only doi08 this for your own sake, you are on the

decllni08 side. But you are actually preparing yourself tor the future,

studying so you can build your future and help the world.

So you have to make sure ot the strictness all the way in paving

the path. Never, never can you emphasize too much strictness, • The higher level the world rlll be the more ‘strict it will ‘be.

Things don’t come about by accident — the person that thinks that & rose is beautif”ul. and gives out a beaut1.1’ul. scent just by accident

then that 1s the wrong vay to think. The r9se has actually passed

through a rig~d growth process !ran nature to be so beautU’ul.

The same with you. Only after you have passed through the rigid

trials and paths or .lite do you come to the -point where you can be

f’ree and easy.

What about the student who not only goes the strict and rigid way

him.sell, but g_ives outslde himsel.t to help others go that way — that ,

.. student is doing right, isln•t he? ’ In missing morning service, tor instance, 1.f both students are

present loo:,L — bow can you compare the two? I t one student misses

only once or from class goes to the bathroom just once, that one

bas to take second place to the one who is 1~.

Even 1.f President 1C1..m has to punch or bit a student to make him obey, and that student smiles, then there is the student that it Mr.

K 1m just looks bad at him or says a strict word then he complains. Which should you be like? (The first). If the water is so cold when you go c=arp fishing, still you

should be willing to jw:::p in. When Father stayed up all night in

the rain at trrS some students stayed up (only a few), and all the others

disappeared. Father did not know where (laughter). When Father is in the

spiritual world, those vbo stayed up all night long with Father will be the Chairman to stand up and speak about Father. What Father did,

and what were bis intentions. Those who did not stay up with Father

will compla.in”Oh Father, if y-ou had only told ~e to do that clearly

I would have obeyed!” But what they did not understand, is that Fat 11er did not say anything or tell the ones who stuck by him either, they just te1t or knew to help.

In the comp1eted world, the traces ot sanitary napkins, ot a

- woman’s menses will never be visible in restrooms. There will be so much clean1iness·and strictness. You will never see U.C. sisters - in on+Y bikinis with n.2.vels and thighs hanging_ out. That is why Father did not send sisters to the Seminary at . first. The neighbors

, -would complaiq th.at Rev. Moon is too strict, because sisters -would not be -wearing shorts and bathing suits in summer.

One brotl:rer -went into the Unisex ba.rberstiop and asked tor a

“M oonie cut”. The hair s tylls t said, “You said it, ok”. And she

gave him a. very short cut (laughter). • So you a.re getting famous,

you mu.st think about yotll” hair styles.

Someday people rlll beg and want to be married or blessed ‘’Moonie” style. There will be carriers (ships) by the oceans and airplanes celebrating the ceremony — everyone -will want to see those weddings so bad..l.y.

The future is sure to come, individual, family, country and world — so we must pay more attention to the future. It is more

important for you to becane the head of’ your family — of’ the America of’ the future, not ot today. It you visualize yoursel.t’ as future

Americf)s, then you have to go through many strict trials and tests. You see toda.y’sdisco dancing and f’ree sex — you have already passed

through that. Today’s America everybody hates, they just can’t do a.ny-

thin8 a.bout it. But it doesn’t attract us — nothing we a.re drawn to, thl.s will pass away and no trace will remain. But we will dis- cipline and prepare ourselves tor the tuture. So how nice it is to become a man of’ the future. No matter how -many persecute Rev. Moon today, they will come, change, and sac-

rifice themselves tomorrow. Father knows the people in the America. of theifuture· will definitP.ly do .that. A11 the people that oppose UC and Rev. Moon and bis thought

- v1.ll be wiped out. But the tuture they will be suprised Our

Ocean Churches, etc. they “1ll see and hear about.

So e.1.l you tbembers must in the next 3 yea.rs, discipline

yourselves and do a1wa:y with all temptations or even th008hts against

the Principle. It sane ot yru find 1 t extremely dif ficu.lt, so much the better.

You no longer have to pay any attention to those things that

are fashionable or senseless. Then how importa.n’t it is to look

for the future American family •.

Today’s families are all working for and going in the direction

or corruption and hell — but you will be good people yes? ( Yes.)

So during your school days will you complain or will you be

happy if David Kim is more ·strict, even if he asks you to fast?

( Yes). Maybe if Mr. Kim fas ts along with you? (laughter) •

I! all of you tasted for example for 30 days, what would

happen? All the media would rush to see somebody before all dies. ,, (laughter). But they would find you playing tennis, catching

carp, etc. Could you do this? (Yes!) No! Yes! No! Vr<’II .i.~ ••

Should Father trust you that~ won’t quit hal.f’ way? Yea! Thank you, Thank you.

Should David Kim be gratetul to Father now? Should he use a baseball bat, or d6es 1le ba.ve to speak? (no). Do you like

that way? Yes8 Maybe IJlvid 1{J..m can just say, “October 10!”

and that will remind you. - Father has many things to do so he cannot s\ay in Barryto,!n

very long. But your success or t’ailure in the future is what . .,,.-…_, Father has talked about today. Your bands~ ha~, the walls, noor will. be the vitness that you have heard. I

Yoo,sisters mu.st work toward b~coming wives of.the President, I .__

Congressman, s,uiators or Professors. Work for a glorious future.

Make sure your beautiful faces are for the sake of God. Spirit

world will bow down and be gratef.’ul to you. This isI correct forever. It is not going to be easy. You have to become more strict. Choose the more strict way. Not the easy way.
