(partial notes)
(In Father’s dining room) Father asks how many students are from foreign countries? FRther is here - are you happy? (Yes!) Every time Father comes to the Seminary he gives you a party, but you ,need a scold- ing sometimes, no? (Too much studying - laugh) Those students who are the oldest in the group, raise your hands.
Do any of you~haye 4 question? (Stephen Stacey, “I want to knew more about “c hange of :rfneage I Father”). (Father smiles) To 6 tart I you have to cut off the old lineage. Just like you cut the tree to graft. If you cut - do you cut high or low? You h.’.lve “cut across the neck” in man (separate the brain from the body parts). The Bible says, “Anyone who follows me has to cut off past lineage or they cannot reach true love.”
We have to separate good from evil. Why do you have to have that kind of “Cain/Abel” cut? (For restoration through indemnity). Cod created the original world and our first ancestors were to reach true love. But vi.th the bad archangel and the fall with Eve then came about bad lineage vi.th the false god, Satan. Then after that, the individual, family, tribal, and world levels vere all fallen. So we have to cut off on all those levels and it’s very complicated. Do you understand?
(Father is speaking in English) Originally, the whole cosmic world
.. vas for the ideal man (and woman). So you have 2 eyes, 2 arms, 2 feet, etc. • all the parts of our bodies are in var with evil. How can we under- stand that kind of evil? Unity ia vhere there is one “speaking,” one action, and one “thinking,’’• that’s _the ideal, But in history, nevertheless, ve have a problem? Why? How about all of you· do you know that kind of content already?
It’s belief, not knowledge, but action. What did Paul say? “Wretch· ed man I am • mind follow Cod • body death.” So how are you? (To Stephen . Stacey) What do you think - do you have a good situation or not? (Yes, Father· blessed). Do you think Father’s like Apostle Paul? (No -different) Is Father’s situation different from Jesus’? How? (You have True Parents)
… after When the tree is still growing the fruit is not yet ripened. But the tree has fulfilled all the conditions with the surrounding nature, then the tree becomes mature to bear fruit. How about Adam - was he a tree of life to bear fruit? (No!) What .,bout Jesus? (No) The cross -he could not yet marry and have children. How about ~ath~r? Different? (Yes ·different) How about Father did he have a one or two-way fight? If you experi~nce evil, what about Father did he have to go through all the steps (of restor- ation)? {Yes).
When Father’s hungry, does he vant food or is he a “perfec_t man” . and h’e- doesn:’ t” need° to eat? ( laugh) The “difference 1s· when Father is hun• t I r-.,
gry he does not just go ahead and eat; he 1tudie1 or prays, and after fu l· filling all conditions then he eats. If Father were hungry or sleepy and he would just give into those things, then many problems would start. When does Father .sleep or eat? When the food wants to be eaten by Father, and when the “sleep” wants to be taken by rather. (laugh)
Ia Father a wo man or a man? (True man!) Han is born for the sake of woman, and woman for the sake of man; you know that, Father has said that many times. Should a man follow a woman? (No) . So would Father want to have a beautiful woman to marry? (Yea· Mother). In the Garden of Eden how many beautiful women were there? (One!) You must know - Eve was gor· geoua. \olhat made Eve so gorgeous and beautiful? Cod’s love in her made her so beautiful. What is your guess • do True Parents always get along well• all the time, or sometimes not? (laugh - always).
So, the (metaphysical) center has a certain direction: vertical and horizontal. The relationship between the two is a right angle, a 90 degrees between the two. Once you know about that vertical relationship then you can find the horizontal relationship. Once man and woman are oriented to the vertical (relationship with Cod) then they can express their horizon· tal direction. Wh~t does that horizontal direction mean? One thing it can only mean· love.
You have to go the straight horizontal way. But some men may be more intelligent or strong than their spouse, or the woman may be more intel· ligent or more athletic than her husband. But with the horizontal level ~ of love, it is always the same. All the body parts move on the horizontal love level toward each other and so they must come together into the right place. Just like the moon starts out small and then becomes fuller, then the woman’s breasts become fuller. All parts of the body show the time, and she knows this is the time to have a baby - everything becomes swollen.
.. For you women, is that true - Father cannot know? (laughter) •
Like cows or horses the female comes into season or “heat” and you ‘) cannot stop her way. So when Spring comes then everything in creation moves and is in action. So we have to move in order to come into the right posi· tion. We can never do that by just standing still. So when you see birds and insects moving around, then you know that everything is in action, coming to ‘life. Why do birds migrate to the south? Why don’t they just stay here? The food (worms) grow in the warm area, but in a cold place the food changes. So we see the migrating birds• on one told them to do this - fly from the north to the south. In a warmer area their offspring grow stronger,
So we can see an analogy in the Unification Church. Members migrate from many parts of the world. Then Father matches them together from many p’aYts of .the universe. So when many persons from different races come to- gether this brings children of genius. So these offspring of these blessed· marriages. :.. from these many future lc.1<fors will be born. father feels if there are many serious white people that . arc anxious to cct m~rried .wilh black people and they come to the Blessing then when Father matches them, he knows that the offspring will be geniuses.
At thls time of history white people are becoming like “night” and black people are becoming like “day.” in America whHe peopl~ always wa.nt to rest or sleep and so they are going ·11 aovn.” The species of fish that
growa in the aalt water muat come to clear water to breed - salmon or shad. So you aee here - Western and Eaatern civilitation are aa different as night ----- and day, But when they come together there will be a tre mendous unified civiliza-t..ion, ,,
So ia persecution good? Not so good - true or fals~7 (Good!) So Father came to this tract (point) so he can come back to where he started. So where there’• action there’• life, Love is so important. Do you think Jesus wanted to get married or not? (Yea!) No matter how much noise Chris- tian theologians make, they don’t atand a chance. If Jesus could have found a woman that was suitable for him· the world could have been transformed at that time. Do you think Jesus was like that? (Yes!) Di~ Jesus have to use a knife and fork to eat? (Yes), Did he go to the bathroom? (Yes)
So what is holiness (divinity)? Everything is holy~ Cod created everything~ we should know that kind of concept, Anything that is.in the “original position” is holy, The historical “I” (human being)) was to have been holy. How about the “I” in mosqultos • is that holy? Why isn’t every- one holy? If they are too lazy then the mosquitos bite them! (laugh) It’s true - take a poisonous snake even· everything was created “holy.”
Then if in the natural world there ls so much “lUe” action, then the Messiah too wants to get married, doesn’t he? In fact, for the Messiah the number one goal to to find a bride· is that true? Who snatched away the bride of Adam? (Lucifer/Satan) The very bride that the Messiah wants ia the one that Satan wants too, no? (To destroy). So the Messiah needs to become “True Parente” in order to restore historically the fallen posi- tion of Adam and Eve.
The Messiah came to find a wife - to chose one bride - for holy matri- mony. Should he find the right one and get married right away? (No). When the Messiah comes again which is more important first: finding the bride … or restoring bad children? (fallen humankind) So if “Cain and Abel” chil- dren exist, then centering on “Abel” they cannot have marriage until they restore the archangel position and “Cain” children. Do you understand? (Yes).
So the Messiah comes as the perfect Adam and takes a bride in holy matrimony. Do you understand why we have “elders”? So Adam can find hie wife and have true children born, So you must restore 3 “archangel” mem- bers or you cannot have blessed children born. Now do you understa~d the purpose of the “Cain/Abel-” ·struggle? (Yes) Understand (Yes!) You have to understand this truth!! (Father pounds on table)
… past - ofSo mind if you know all these things that Father has discovered in the and body unity centered on Cod’s love - _nothing can change that; it is equal to the original state of birth. So to change your blood lineage ls your lifrl So the Bible s~ys, “You must lose yourself (kill your old self) and you will live - we must cut out the evil lineage; to “die” to live.
So how are you, doctor? (Dietrich Seidel, Ph.D.) Do you have true love? (iaughter) So throughout 6,000 yeara of old history Cod is search- ing for one “true man ·.” How can the historical “I” survive? Today in our a9cie .~y they say; “Don.’t- JG.ill· don’t go to the Unifi.c :ation Churc:h!” But . \
after the older parents aee their blessed gr.andchlldren, they eay, “ •• ,it’, not eo bad ••• “ You have to experience aomething to cake it \olork, So from this ve can know the sovereign po…,er of Cod. If Father had not appeared on the earth, what would you have? (No hope), •• . [Father apeaks softly to brothers and sisters in English patting them on the head - speaking about “true love.”)
Ia it easy or difficult for Cod to find that kind of true love? (Dif- ficult). Cod has absolute power but through “true love” you can have “love pover.” The vertical relationship of am.an and \oli!e with God in the “center” is “absolute love power” • absolute vertical love. Love is, internal and life is external. Through the vertical relationship centered on Cod and true love \le can make the physical and spiritual worlds “one.” Only true love ls the way to unite the spiritual \11th the physical. ~t’s only “love power” that can make everything unified. True love can break through even time and apace• nothing can separate true love. Ho._. \o/Onderful, \IOnderful true love isl How valuable, you can find out - it ._.ill last forever• it’s the most precious thing! True love can go over any complicated situation; no matter how high a mountaintop true love can go over it.
So this is the conclusion· if you’ve got true love you can go over any situation - you can’t even escape, cannot go out - it that a happy or unhappy situation? (Happy!) True love can dwell everyvhere, true? (Yes) I don’t know •• ,.(Yes!) True love can possess and have everything! How about that - is it good? (Yes!!) If l possess true love I am “rich” - I have everything. Then Cod can have sovereignty of the \olhole univeroe if there’s true love. (Even chimpanzees have true love if they can sit and clean their mates, eating lice, they don’t mind ••• ) “Forsaking all else” for true love ••• your family, your possessions for your nation, for people.
Can you see homosexuality in any other species except humans? (No) .. Why? Because it is such an unnatural act - terrible. It could wipe out the human race. Cod created woman like a triangle: small shoulders, \lide hips, and man like an inverted triangle: \lide shoulders, small hips, no? (laugh) But when you put them together you have a “whole” being (complete aquare).
woman =••V \lhole being lZr Foraaking £alee love, that is true love ••• forsaking all else ••• foraaking all other for true love. Why do you love me? True Parents ia the embodi· ment of true love. So to fulfill the ideal of the true love purpose there
… is so much persecution and pressure. If you compress carbon, for instance, under great pressure (or through time) you have diamond. So even under pressure and persecu;ion, are \le happy or not? (Yes!)
· Now you arc UTS students forsaking all - getting tr~ining for higher living. ·What can Unfication students do? From here you can !ind the unified world. Forsaking all~ •• AdaM and Eve are the most precious couple, all value ia there - from here is the center for unifying the ideal \IOrld - this is the moat . important place. Absolute true love ls “forever” - you must know that law. So the religious \lord: “forsaking” all else la precious. Rev. Moon is the “t~ue love philo&opher” - t way true · love can mult{phy ind go · anyvhere - everything is attracted to the absolute true love center - so that is the highest~position in history! (clapping) . -.., :’
Don’t complain about the “Corsaldng” concept; for some people “for• aaking” is a problem· they cannot receive lt. But Father’s a “smart guy” you don-’ t know how you can follow “prosperity” if you have to do that but following Father, lt 1e clear. Amerlc_ans are taking the .materialistic situation and perishing· they have a superior attitude in the world, but in other countries people say ‘’Yankee go home.” But you have to understand, “ ••• forsaking all other •• ,” How can one guy from such a acall country lead the Western world? Ask in China. If my eon Hyo Jin follows my way he can do more than Father.
How great le America? So they have True Parents, Unification thought, or the “forsaking formula”? America is perishing • you have to repent. Rev. Moon came to this country as a firefighter, now you have to be. You have to be strong and fight • not with “gun power” but Father says with “love power”! We are a true church centered on Cod!! (Raise your hands and pledge).
Everyone pledges and all sing “Tan Shin Ca.” (After lunch Father goes on a tour of the Seminary]
