Father's speech in lecture hall 2, Unification Theological Seminary - Original Document

(in lecture hall 2, Unification Theological Seminary)

(I took these notes in English by directly translating the words of father at the very moment that speech was given, rather than by transcribing the words of the translator, and later made further corrections by referring to the notes taken by another brother in Korean. So, this should be quite accurate and comprehensive.)

When I first founded this school, I came here every day. I founded it for the purpose of saving America, but I worry whether or not it has reached that state yet. Twenty years ago, I never thought that the future of America would be this serious and miserable. You all probably know that this nation cannot be saved by the power of men. The only way is to revive Christianity, but in the conventional way or tradition, it cannot be done. Young people today have been contaminated by communism, the pursuit for physical and material pleasures, and secular humanism, and they are heading toward physical destruction. For this reason, we must not try to bring the solution with the human power. Or with man and money alone. You will hit a dead end if you boast the power of human beings; it does not last in history. This principle applies also to money. You cannot save thr. world with just man’s power, money or with the attitude that you can solve all problems with gold. People are going the opposite way; they do not live for the cause of nation or dignity of the nation, but their own selfish cause and glory. Although it has been twenty years since the founding of UTS, the graduates are far from being prepared to save the nation. The fundamental mission of theology is how to employ absolute faith to generate the power that can transcend the power of individual men, and use it for the sake of saving nation. More than the individual, you must think about the nation and the whole. You have to be trained spiritually to go in the opposite direction as the secular world, which asserts that the way of money is the supreme way and advocates secular humanism. When I see the graduates of UTS, I am greatly disheartened to see them become secularized. The graduates of UTS also have an arrogant attitude that they are part of the elite and educated group. You must become exemplary, and you must pioneer and overcome the difficulties in Li.e front-lines. If you think that because you are college graduates you do not have to do this kind of dirty work, then you are making grave mistakes. The Unification Church (UC) should have gone down below the ground, but on the contrary, it has tried to rise upward. They are to go back down and ‘:urn the whole thing upside down, but instead, they went to the top. Many of them deviated because they thought that the UC way is not in line with their own path. They thuught that they can save this nation in a glorious manner, but the path that opened before them was just the opposite. I have ushered in a great transition on the world level during the time that I have spent in America, proclaiming True Parents and the Comp Testament Age. You must know that the night has passed and the new morning has dawned upon us. Although UC

has been persecutecl, such history of tribulation has passed behind us. I have ordered the Japanese movement to send good first class students, but they sent third and forth rate students here. The leaders do not send their top leaders. Since it is the seminary of the UC, it must prepare for the future of UC, but they did not do this. The students did not make any necessary preparation here, and they failed to accumulate the ammunition and energy, whic~ having been pressurized, can explode upon graduation and propel them forward in their providential mission; all they did was just study. After the graduation, you are to prepare for the mission of pioneering churches. The mistake they made is to have the conventional mentality of the outside world, which led them to focus on their family. When you graduate, you might not want to pioneer because you are too proud of being a graduate of the seminary. In order to revive Christianity, th.ere must be those who sacrifice. There must be people who are different from the people of the past in quality and quantity. The reason that I come here after one year and four months is because I do not have much hop(; for this place. Many of those before me here will fade away. Many of the UTS graduates have been ruining this nation and the UC. There is not one professor here who is truly united with me and my vision for this place. They have not tried to establish a solid foundation in ideology to save the nation and the world. In the future, for UTS to have a fresh beginning, there must be a revival in life of faith initiated by the students, and there must take place a new restructuring to create a better spiritual and study atmosphere. There must be help from the spirit world. If you do not have the support of the spirit world like at the time of God’s creation, you will not be able to do anything. Spiritual power does not come through words, but through practice. Those who pray a lot and exert themselves tremendously appear differently to me. In order to enter that realm, you must pray like a crazy person and do things like a crazy person. I am training thousands of Japanese members now. In the three day period, I completely transform these Japanese women. I have finished educating 80,000 women leaders so far. At one time, I had as many as five thousand people receiving training together. Some have never heard Divine Principle, but they were receptive, and they were completely transformed in three days. In order to perform this kind of works, you cannot lead an ordinary life. The atmosphere of the spirit world and of the earth must be snatched in a tight fist and be properly balanced. This is the only way; knowledge cannot do this. During that time, even when I was sleeping at night, I was speaking Japanese in my dream. I have grabbed onto the atmosphere even when I was asleep. If you do not do that, there is no way that life can be resurrected. Life cannot be resurrected with knowledge. If you do not link with the power of life that stand on the level higher than the that at the present, new life cannot be given. When Father was standing before the crowd of Japanese trainees, he could not see the end of the cro~ d because it is too numerous, so I moved up and down the isles like this. Half of them are new people; non-members. All kinds of people come there. When I pass by them, they do not look at me straight, because previously they have opposed me. After three days, they look at me straight attentively. Just like how father is doing, when you give life to people, you will feel the same type of enormous excitement and joy that

you can never feel and experience otherwise. When you go to spirit world, this is the only things that will become your asset. Money, prestige, and power will only make your life in the spirit world more miserable. Since you have been through the seminary, you should focus on collecting the true assets of the spiritual world. Those who graduate from here and still betray God, father, and the church are the worst. You should never use UTS as a stepping stone for your success. I have founded this institution for the sake of saving America and reviving Christianity. In the last days, Christianity will become secularized because they cannot become connected to the pinnacle and form an intimate relationship with GJd, so if you want to prevent this from happening to you, you must mobilize the spiritual power and become absolutely impeccable in your theories and beliefs, and experience. You have to fill in all the blank spots. God has an opinion toward how America is doing. Our view must never be different from God·s view. When the present situation of America deviates from the will of God, then it will decline. But, what you plan to do after you graduate from here must be absolutely the same as what I and God want; yet do these two visions match? What do you think? Should you adjust your view to God’s, or should God adjust His view to fit yours? Are you doing this? Have you become the absolute object of True Parents and God? You have not been. The path that I am taking is not perfect or most ideal; God’s expectation is even higher than this. Because I have to deal with this world in the midway position, I must make compromises in regards to the path that I take, and go the round about ways. So, who is going to pay indemnity for the resulting gap and discrepancy? It is I and the members of my direct lineage. (We must pay the indemnity.) So, if you cannot even reach my standard, then your future will be completely buried. Do not think that your being here is a blessing. This may become a fearful condition of great indemnity before God. I do not think that you have met my expectations; I do not think that you are prepared enough to go out and become the leaders of this movement. Nations fall because their young generation fail. Society and nation must become the extensions of family. There is always a center in a family, a society, or a nation. The parents in the family must become the center and the rest must become objects. They must become united. Communism and Satan try to reverse this order to destroy it. Dispensation of restoration is dispensation of restoration through indemnity, which is dispensation of recreation. How does it then take place? God first creates an environment, and then establishes order of subject and object in it. This is the formula. So, why are there men and women? It is because of this set of principles of creation. Everything is in pairs. This is the actual situation of the existing world. Even in UTS, there must be subject and object relationship. There must be a subject - object action that multiplies from one point to span over a much greater area. You must head tow ud the highest. This is the reason that men want to become the top, and the top is God. From the top one seed is sown, and the seed grows and eventually returns by becoming a tree. This is the way that harvest is reaped. People want to grow and expand centering on oneself, and then through the growing up process, our scope becomes greater in ever expanding circles, and eventually we become connected to the

world. Is this the way it is? What are you to do when you grow up? You are to expand the perfected found’:ltion. Then, God is to become the big plus, and you are to become the big minus. Mei1 want to become the greatest king, and women want to become the greatest queen. By doing so, you will become united with God. The fundamental point is that the universe exists for the sake of love. God also exists for the sake of love. Do you think God want$ money, power, or knowledge? He already has them all. Then what does God want? does God really need love? God also feels lonely. He is in a lonely position. How do you think it is like for me? When I am alone, am I lonely? The same is true for God: He must be feeling lonely. He also needs to find objects of love. Who are the objects of G0d? It should have been Adam and Eve. Perfected Adam and Eve are the objected of God. Do you think this is true? Then do you think God possesses love, life, lineage, ideal, joy, etc.? All of these exist on the basis of reciprocal relationship; they cannot exist in one being. You cannot see love. It can only be felt. Do you have love? Feeling comes from the relationship between subject and object. You can call this philosophy of relationship. Relationships between people, parents-children, political relationships, economic relationship. etc. The goal of our life is how to cultivate our relationships and harmonize them with the universal relationships. If you think that you are great, that you are the best, then you cannot form relationship with someone greater than you. You must therefore become humble. Water seeps into the earth, and at times it can even shoot up to the sky. This is the reason that it can be seen as the source of life. It can penetrate into the cells in the body. As soon as there is any tiny room or crack, it makes its ways into it. Water does not have form, but there is not one form that it does not take on. ~Aren’t you 3/4 water? You are a water bag. But, you do not have your individuality. You are full of arrogance. You do not like to be insulted. Because of the form that you have created, you cannot freely fit into things. Do you understand? Air is the same. Does air enter earth? Does it have a form? How about you? Everyone has a shape, and that is the problem. If you have a shape, then you cannot connect to the source of life. Because they (water and air) do not have form, it can go anywhere, and form life. It can protect by covering it all around, and it can even nurture it. Do you understand? You must become like water. You must be able to penetrate into anywhere, into any crack and room. Does nature welcome water or reject it? They welcome it because it helps them grow and develop. Arrogant people are the most miserable people. Suppose you are shaped like a star with many sharp points. How can you adjust yourself to fit into different situations? Thus, they talk about the Holy Spirit as being like water, wind, and oil. They are the source of life. Thw what about love? It has the same characteristics. Hence, love can become life. Does anything impede love? Everything welcomes it. Then how is God like? God’s mind can enter any place. God’s mind can connect with any place in the universe. Do you want to resemble God? Is your mind like God? Do you want to enter my mind? How about the minds of the prisoners in prison? Even for a criminal sentenced to death, God will grieve over his death more than his own father and mother. Do you understand? have you ever thought about how it would be if the

entire universe enters and exits your mind? If all of the hundred odd people here come into your mind, then how would it be? You have to be at least like that to qualify as the child of God. I planned to stop you for a short moment. So, God also needs objects. Men are the objects of God. If God breathes in, then man is supposed to breath out. This is how mind and body behave. There is such circular motion. So, think about how it m¥5t have been when God lost His objects. He does not have anyone to share His love with; it was like being in a vacuum, completely unable to breath air. God will follow you around, because you are His breathing partner. This is the way that you can control God. This is not just empty words, but this is reality. That is why you must experience it. “Che-hul” (a Korean word that means to experience, to feel, and to understand through intuition) is like how when a twin brother is sick, the other one feels the same pain. This is the relationship that you must have with God. This is the only way that you can know the direction and the needs of His dispensation. When you are in that realm, you will cry aloud. In such state, you will be able to know the future and events that lie before you. This is like how a mother sometimes senses the danger that her child is facing. This is che-hul. If there is no such experience in your life of fai~ then you cannot connect to the spiritual life. This is the only way to engraft to the new life. This is a very serious problem. You have become worthless ones who know nothing else but eating. In a few days, it will be the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the church. It was very hard, and I had to adjust it to fit the schedule and program of heaven. I have proclaimed True Parents and the Completed Testament Age and the Safe Settlement. All is done. To what standard have I reached? Adam’s family failed within one family and Jesus failed on the national level, but the Lord of the Second Advent succeeded on the world level. In my lifetime, I have dealt with all major leaders of the world and steered them. They now understand that opposing me will bring negative consequence to them. Do you think I have laid this foundation only through words? I had to mobilize the entire spirit world and the physical world. This applies to you, as you try to unite your mind and body. How to combine your physical and the spiritual is your homework. You must restore your original nature. You must turn it around 180 degrees. To what extent are you going to become the partner of God? You must continue for eternity the process of investing and forgetting about it. If you invest yourself and then forget, then there will be a vacuum. So, from higher pressure zone, air will rush toward the lower pressure zone. Then, the incredible rush will generate great force. True love requires repeating at least three times the process of investing and forgetting completely. Invest life and repeat it more than three times. For a straight line to exist, there must first be two points. But there is no variety and changes in the straight line. At the time of the creation, God first drew a straight line, but He then drew a circle that encircled the line. You cannot divide the relationships between parent and child, among couples, and among brothers and sisters. The number three is absolutely necessary. The three things must be connected. Number three brings unity. Horizontal, vertical and the thi.td axis (that form three dimentionality). When you are born, you must

become the child of someone, spouse of someone, and brother/ sister of someone, and parents of someone. Adam and Eve were a brother and a sister, and they were to become couples, and finally parents. You cannot neglect any one of the four steps (the fourth being God). This .is the ideal model. It will fit everywhere. Have you created such families? Hell has been created. Satan built this hell. In order to possess True Love, you must put your life at stake for the sake of a person three times, and overcome this life- threatening situation. Have you ever thought about offering your life to someone? You must have this kind of determination if you want to save this nation. When I first came to this nation, I foresaw that I will go to prison. I was determined to save America even if it entailed going to prison. I have now proclaimed True Parents and the Completed Testament Age, and everyone welcomed it. Normally, this would have taken two, three years, but we have done it much faster. I made enormous amount of preparation for this cause. Things did not happen accidentally; I made them happen. This is the truth. This was the only way to save America. I have already opened the door to America’s survival. Think about the opposition and persecution that I have received. America can resurrect if the three thousand colleges and high schools can be united centering on True Parents. Because we have risen to the perfection stage, Satan cannot touch us. You must be responsible for the three thousand college campus tours. How many are you willing to cover? You should at least do three times the number that True children have done. Among them, the one who did the most spoke in 22 campuses. Seminary members are to take responsibility for the tours. WFWP and CARP will coordinate the tours, and True children will do 1 every fifty campuses. Mother and children must cooperate. YFWP (Youth Federation For World Peace) is being formed right now for this purpose. We are to cope with the situation centering on God. All is done. UN (politic world, Cain, and Satan’s side), federation of religions (religious world, Abel, God’s side), and WFWP (women’s world) - in this way, Eve, Cain and Abel must tum around 180 degrees. Centering on mother, Cain and Abel must become one and follow mother. UN and WFWP must become united representing mind and body, and since mother was divided, there must be a mother type organization and a youth organization, so when these three realms become one, they will be able to save the world. We need an organization like UN that is internal. Subject and object are created, but they have not become one. The accomplishment of peace of the world is simple; all it takes is the unity between mind and body. Religious world promotes practices that negate the flesh; fasting, sacrificing, etc. You don’t like chw ch activity. But your body is occupied by Satan. You stand in the mid way position between God and Satan. You must cross over to God’s side and never look behind. When there is unity between mind and body, that will create balance. If you do not maintain the right angle, then Satan will infiltrate. The power of the flesh is stronger than the power of the mind and spirit. Believe in God and you can do anything. You must clearly understand the mind.

You must have the confidence. Mind and body must then be united. Then, couples must become one, and then the children must become one. This is the way to bring about the world peace. Are you going to doze off or stay awake and alert? How are you going to remain awake? You must see yourself as the representative of the 5 billion people, and including all the people that ever lived in history. You cannot possess True Love unless you represent the entire heaven and earth. Perfecting love requires man; God cannot do it by Himself. You mqst always see yourself as the representative and the center of the universe. You are to become one with God; you are to marry with God. In order for God to become perfect and in order for His love to become perfect, man is absolutely needed. This is a revolutionary statement. You are always a representative and the center. True Love will bear fruit only under such circumstance. When you go to the spirit world after having achieved this, you will find that everyone is brother and sister. Everyone is a prince or princess. This is a privilege. God is the father. Because of the fall, we have lost the mind-set that we are the representative and the center. If you invest yourself and then forget, heaven will certainly be created in your environment. Strike individualistic America. Why did God create the object of love? When He was alone, He could not feel (love). Do I have love? But why is it that I cannot feel it? It is because we have become completely one. If you become one, you will become zero. You will be zero, but you will also be eternal . If you become one, you won’t be aware of each other’s presence. You do not know how many times your eyes blink. This is also because you are one. You must make it 100 % zero. You cannot draw your own face because it is one with you. You should not be able to recognize the face of your beloved husband or wife. It should be that every time you look at him/ her, you feel unexplainable joy. Love is truly great. True love is to be consummated in the highest and the most central position. When a husband enters the bedroom of his wife, he should enter the room as a king would enter the room of a queen. It is eternal. Husband, wife, and children whose minds and bodies have become one are the beginning of the heaven on earth and in heaven, and they are the beginning of everything. The love on the first night after the wedding ceremony is the palace of true lineage, life, and love. It is the beginning point of true happiness. How precious is true love!
