FATHER BPEAKB TO UTB GRADUATES <unofficial ..L. ’ excerp-r::>) Grand Ballroom,Hew Yorker Ja:uuary 29, 1993

Father would like to speak especially to UTS graduates - stand up please. How much do you know Father? You are trying to understand in your own way, but how much do you really know him? You know Father according to your own experiences, your own observations and concepts. This is the same with your perception of Divine Principle and of true love too. The True Children also each understand Father in their own way. Therefore, how can we come up with one concept? This is a very, very important matter. There are two sides to human beings - the difficult and the joyful. People generally pursue the joyful side. If you go out with your friend, you want to have fun. But you don’t really know the depth of that person. When you observe that person in difficulty, the true side of that person will emerge. The most noble person will not compromise his principles in the face of great adversity. In this way he can show his divineness. If there is a God, He must be looking for that kind of person. In pursuing that ideal of God, incredible danger may come to your family - will you back off and turn around? God will never retreat or change His mind. He is looking for people with similar character. God goes beyond death. There is no failure, everything is perfection. Even in the fallen world, if a person has unchanging commitment he will never fail. That person will eventually succeed. God’s way is the public way. Satan faces death centered on himself. He can retreat and give up. The satanic world has limits, especially in the moment Satan sees himself in danger. That is the difference between God and Satan.

Father feels a special affinity towards UTS graduates. In the beginning, Father drove 2 1/2 hours everyday to see you. If one day h~ didn’t see you he felt something was missing. Father went so often to Barrytown in order to teach the right tradition to the first classes. Father was thinking he has to create path finders with whom he can set up the proper tradition. Now Father doesn’t go everyday. The first graduating class has unforgettable memories of Father pushing them into the water to go carp fishing! Father stayed up all night with the students, making the nets by hand. Father created Ocean Church with the most important purpose of giving you an unforgettable memory, to teach you something about tradition. “Father was with me - in the cold, late at night, making nets with roe.” A new tradition for the sake of posterity. How many of you alumni really value those days? Father was thinking that he had to prepare for the day to provide leadership for a declining America. America today is now in a very miserable situation but still it roust be saved. The young people ar1:e dying. One time Jesus went through a grove of trees, cursing the fruitless tree. Father thinks the same way, walking down the street - cursing the lack of leadership in this country. Father’s 21 years in America cannot have been spent in vain. When Father leaves America how many of you will bear fruit in America? There is a cer~a~~ -~rice and sacrifice needed to eave this country. Father c~nnot b~ ~Rl·R penn&nently. He must go to Asia, there are 3.2 billion people waiting to be saved. Father wants to know, how many of you will say “Father go. We will become like Rev. Moon and save the U.S.” Father’s purpose in coming here today is to bundle you up, to bind you together in word, promise and deed.

Father spent the prime of his life in the America - 21 years. Father must show the world how to live and prosper. Everyone must be ready . Strive today to be prepared. If you are lifted up to heaven you will find everything Father said to be true. But if you did not live it how would you feel? Are you thinking “Father is an Asian man with an interesting teaching”? Did you shed tears for the sake of your country? You inherit those tears. If you as the children inherit Father’s tradition, you will not be outcast. Tears are the best way to inherit that tradition. Father has picked this time to meet with you because Clinton is in the Vhite House. It is an emergency time - you must invest your bones and flesh for the sake of this tradition. This country is in trouble, the cultural sphere has no direction. The only hope is Father. No one can take responsibility except Unificationist s . In order to prepare for this day I raised you. You are the defenders of this tradition. It is the time for action. Ve have to rouse thi s country with a new spirit of life and restoration. Last year Father initiated United to Serve America and completed 2,500 rallies. This year Father wants to reach young people with correct moral values. We have to win the high schools. When the Jewish people left Egypt they should have each taken 1 Eygptian with them. The 600,000 would hav e become 1.2 million. If they had done so it would have been a co111pletely different exodus. All of you under the age of 47 are in the: chosen, second son position. In 1968 Father installed God’s Day, he was 47 years old. He felt so young with so much power then.

To become an Olympic champion you need rigorous training. The same is true for spiritual Olympic champions. Would you like intense or mediocre training? You’re not stupid! Let’s train ourselves. Father wants to mobilize high level people, knitting them into an organization, in all different areas - media, politics, universities. Father wants to create a flying IOWC using a 727. But first you must become champions. Father would like to have an explosive conference where this truth is spoken. We have to fight back the drug culture, the homosexual culture. Homosexuality is the worst crime in God’s eyes. Father already has a great network with political, educational, religious leaders. Many are awaiting Father’s order. As soon as they hear a UTS graduate trained by Father is coming they will be excited. Father has a special place for the workshop - the Diamond Mountains in North Korea! Kim Il Sung asked Father to create an elegant resort there. At first Father said he would think about it, but then signed papers and said YES! So he will do it. Maybe Kim Il Sung will come and give the opening remarks and talk on how to become a spy! He’s an expert! We can use his knowledge for good.
