Notes From True Father's Speech To UTS Faculty - Original Document

[These notes are an unofficial summary of the talk Father gave following dinner at East Garden to the UTS Faculty.]
There are many different schools of Theology, but the essential contents are all the same. Unification Theology must be different from traditional Christian Theology. Unification Theology must be able to unite all different schools of Theology-as its name implies. Without the foundation of Unificationism as the platform, concepts like peace, freedom and happiness cannot be achieved. Unificationism is the prerequisite. On the family level the concept of filial piety can be applied to any relationship-children-grandchildren, children-parents, between brothers, etc.-it is a universal concept which leads to freedom , peace and happiness because it brings total oneness among family members . A true patriot sets the standard for a country-so he has total freedom there-wherever he goes he is the center. On the world level the saint is the standard. Throughout history the teaching of saints has always been for the sake of the world, not just the nation. The final level is Holy Son-freedom in Spirit World and Physical World. Of course there are laws in the Spirit World and this world, but the Holy Son is beyond the level of laws. There are two distinct laws-Heavenly Law and Law of the Heavenly Palace-but for the Holy Son it doesn’ t matter. The Palace in Heaven is in the position of mind in Spirit World, which dominates all laws in Spirit World. To qualify as Holy Son you need a blood lineage relationship with God directly-you should be children of God. Then love and life also get united with God. What category of person do you want to become? To be a Holy Son you have to pass all levels from filial piety in the family. How can we pass all these steps? The key is to be in the original position where we invest 100% for eternity and then forget-just like God has been doing. God is the center root-connect to the center root, God. If we are not in that position then if we find and connect to someone in that position we get connected-like through a medium. Do you understand the change of blood lineage at the Holy Wine Ceremony? Because of the Fall we had false lineage, life and love centered on false parents. We have to graft to True Parents through True Love and receive true life and true lineage. At the time of the Holy Wine Ceremony we are reborn into the infant stage, where we know only father and mother-so no matter what is around , just pay attention to True Parents. Blessed Couples should live with True Parents’ words and True Parents ’ family . We have to be completely under True Parents ’ dominion. In 40 years True Parents expanded dominion to the world level-just stick with True Parents. We are not supposed to speak English here-only True Parents ’ language. True Parents are here in history just once in the entire history for the sake of the whole of humanity-think of their value. There are millions of parents and children, but True Parents are totally different-only once in history. God wouldn ‘t exchange True Parents for any of those millions
of parents . “Blood is thicker than water.” Once connected in blood lineage invisible power connects us . Children resemble parents because of blood lineage. Father trained members on boats for 20 years to save people in Africa, but Father doesn ’ t see any UTS PhD ‘s joining Father for fishing. Have you thought of being a true filial son to True Parents and catching better fish than Father to serve the world; better than Peter did for Jesus? Restoration of 6,000 years history means restoring the family-True Parents established 160 families which Satan cannot invade. Satan came into our body and mind at the Fall but Satan cannot infiltrate this foundation-Satan will have to retreat and then God ‘s work is complete. Humankind has suffered under Satan, but no more. As an analogy think of a country which establishes a national sovereignty. The people may not know what the cabinet is doing but when they make good laws they are influenced. If people stay within the law they are safe-they can claim the laws as their laws , the country as their country. They didn’ t come up with the laws themselves but can claim them if they follow the laws. It is like an election-there are many candidates , but once one is elected President he is everybody’s president, other countries recognize him too. Father won the victory on all levels so Father has sovereignty but Father is not the only one who claims it-neighboring countries recognize it, all members under Father claim it is my victory too because Father is the victor. From God down to Satan and Hell Father is recognized as the victor, and we belong to the team of the victor. When Father came to UTS on April 25th, he said that to declare the Completed Testament Age he had to challenge God and get God ‘s approval and the approval of all saints and sages in Spirit World-they all challenged Father as a heretic, even God tested him and he received seal of victor from God. Then he came down to this level and pushes the world up to that level. Since Father laid such a foundation in Spirit \\’orld and Physical World we receive blessings from Father. We take them for-granted-so many members say God speaks to them , but they have no seal of approval from God. The Completed Testament Age is the time to unify Spirit World and Physical World together. Even the Satanic world has people who oppose Rev. Moon, but they can’t make a big noise-their mouth can’ t open! When Father visited 50 states and True Mother travelled the world there was no opposition because the program in Spirit World and Physical World match. Because of that unseen power behind True Parents it was possible for Mother to speak at Capitol Hill, the UN , Japanese Diet, Korean Parliament. On that victorious foundation Father announced to the world that he won victory in the Spirit World and Physical World. If you want to be famous you have to be a good diplomat and politician. Theology is supposed to be on top-knowing God . Strictly speaking, God has been a politician to win this world. So you have to be a politician and diplomat on God ‘s side. Until now all diplomats have been on Satan’s side. That’s why Father has been interested in politics-he saw the battle between democracy and communism was not good. You need a Japanese samurai sword-if something is not right cut it in half! Father came to America and held it by the necktie and wrestled with it-you need that kind of guts . You all should become revolutionary soldiers . You have the names of PhD’s from Harvard, etc. , but you can’t open your mouth in front of President Kim . Did any of you challenge President Kim to take his position and take care of UTS? Or launch a revolution
against the old seniors? If we truly had Unification Theologians at UTS for 20 years you would have witnessed and influenced Dutchess County by now. Suppose you stay at UTS another 20 years and join Spirit World and your neighbors go to Spirit World. They will challenge you as UTS professors who knew True Parents and didn’t teach them. Can you say “I didn’t have a mouth, a tongue, I couldn’t talk!” Father has been going to each corner of the country; you sat and enjoyed a comfortable life. You are in the position of students; Father is the teacher. Students should follow the teacher. It’s a big problem. Even a small travelling circus moving from town to town marches downtown with clowns and advertise. We have UTS to teach God’s message, but you didn’t make that effort. For example, you could have a debate every week in downtown Poughkeepsie between UTS students and local ministers and theologians. If you did that for the last 20 years, all the Christians would have given in by now. While you neglected your mission Father went to jail and came out on top of America victorious-Father did it single-handed. Father spent 1.2 billion dollars on America. If you had that money you would live comfortably. Don’t you feel anger you were labelled “Moonies” by family and friends? Yet do you want to continue your life as it is and join Spirit World? Are you satisfied to stay at UTS or go back and rule your country? [To Dr. Seidel] Are you preparing for that? If you see students from Europe you should plant so much love in them which will grow when they go back to Europe. You shouldn’t miss any European student. Write to them back in Europe-then you will be the hero of Europe. You would have a long list if you did this for 20 years. American professors should also put more effort into taking care of graduates to save America. Do graduates say thank you to you? But you thought of your own situations more, not about saving this country. Writing a letter i”. a piece of cake now with computers-just change the name and send 50 letters. Just send a letter 3 or 4 times a year and you will be connected. If a graduate received 70 or 80 letters from you, he would consider you as God caring about him. There are some crazy members sending letters all the time, even to True Children; but you don’t write any good letters. You should have the attitude to come here and report to True Children what is happening at UTS any time. Father has a strong foundation in America. If you were truly centered on the public mission you would contact people in your hometown and talk about Divine Principle with them. You are American-same language, same living style as them. They are your foundation. If you lose your foundation then you lose your country. It is time to clean up 20 years mess. If you visited our states and hometowns and dealt with all the leaders and Unification Church leaders there you could have done a lot to give input there. Since Mother’s speech at Capitol Hill in July, 1993 we had 219 congressmen sign the declaration for Parents’ Day. When they signed they knew what Father was doing. When Father went to Danbury ministers mobilized-going to prison was a campaign to save the nation. Father prepared video tapes and books for 350,000 ministers with 98 10-ton trucks to transport them. Father set the condition like that so every Christian minister would know what was happening and why. Some Christian ministers opposed Father and hid the package-because it was too big to just throw away-but later they brought it out and watched the tapes. They remember the time they received that big package. As Father’s name got around and they heard of his activities they looked for those tapes as a treasure and watched them and repented. That is also heavenly
strategy. How can they say they didn’t have tapes-Father sent them everywhere. Our company Future Productions emerged out of that time-they can produce 300,000 copies a day now. As long as we are alive we must leave something behind. You are people with big heads. Within 5 years you should be able to figure everything out, make your foundation and move on somewhere else. Don’t settle at UTS with no goal, but come out of UTS and prove yourself to alumni and your hometown. When Father was your age he went to prison, challenged all obstacles and won victories. Are you proud of Father, or do you want to do more than Father so you don’t have to be proud of Father? You don’t have confidence, purpose in your life, not clear. Without clear set goals you waste your life. When Father comes to UTS after a long absence you feel afraid-what’s going on! At the beginning Father came all the time, made fishing nets at night, went fishing in the lagoon. Nobody came to Father and said “I caught bigger fish than you, come and join us.” No-one said “I can catch fish in your place, stay at home.” If anyone had come 5 times like that Father would have replaced President Kim long ago. If President Kim stayed 7 days a week at UTS it would be a big job, but he comes 1 day a week-how can you manage! Other schools have a president on campus 7 days a week and it’s a big challenge to develop the school. If President Kim brought 12 professors here and challenged Father to go fishing with them, he might stay as president until he is 100 years old. At 80 years Father can be anything-farmer, fisherman, boxer, etc. Father made a soccer team in Korea-it became champion and 4 members of Father’s team were chosen for Korean team in the World Cup here this year. You have big heads but no action-Mother said “weak legs!” Father does exercise every day even now. Father goes fishing all day. You need that spirit to save a big strong country like America. Every time at Belvedere people raise their hands, but don’t do anything. Father said the next UTS president will be Japanese-first is Korean (Adam), second Japanese (Eve), third Western-British, German or American-(Child). That way True Parents’s tradition will be inherited. The Adam and Eve country traditions should be combined and inherited. Adam and Eve were enemies as individuals; Korea and Japan were enemy nations and must now unite. Only Dr. Shimmyo and Dr. Masuda are Japanese professors at UTS-both graduates of Tokyo University, the top university in Japan. Also Mr. Furuta is a graduate of Tokyo University. If Father combines these three brains he can move Japan. If Dr. Shimmyo is president of UTS for 3 years then he can go back and be president of Tokyo University. Do you think it is better for UTS to have a Japanese or Western president? The trend is for Oriental students. Father has a new plan for UTS. UTS graduates didn’t do a good job. So, until the year 2000 Father wants to see Oriental students trained and utilized to save America directly under Father’s influence and dominion. When Oriental students who are potential leaders graduate from UTS Father will marry them with Western wives to save America. They can become senators and congressmen in America. Father made this pledge before he came to America. Now before he leaves permanently to Korea he is leaving this kind of direction to UTS. Those who sided with Communism in the past lost their center, but when they find Father they will follow, raising the flag. The young generation is not contaminated by false accusation against True Parents-we can mobilize them against negative groups such as CAN. Young
people will tell them they know what’s really going on: Rev. Moon is acting for the sake of American, you Christians are just paying lip service. Father gave direction to launch declaration of True Parents at 3,000 college campuses. UTS professors, are you going to live comfortably or take responsibility for this campaign? Every Saturday and Sunday you should give lectures, even if you have to drive 24 hours each way you must do it. Father travelled back and forth across America by car giving speeches. The fruits of Father’s hard work are you-are you worst fruits or famous fruits? You may be needed by 100 UTS students, but the country needs you, the world needs you. Do you want to devote your life to 100 students or the country or the world? Have you been thinking that way? If you want to leave some good result, if you just stay at UTS you can’t. You have to inherit good potential to your country. Think about Father-at the podium he is a great speaker, on the boat he is the best fisherman. Yesterday Father caught all 8 fish on his boat; today he caught 4 and came back early because of you. It is a miracle-Father catches all the fish, although others try hard, it takes expertise. You have to become a crazy person with total concentration to reach that level. Because of training in every area Father can see what’s happening in the entire universe. You have to have confidence, determination to achieve it-that’s the first step. - In 3 years Father will raise UTS to famous international level, bringing brilliant students. Father will choose them, not leftover members. Once the new President comes a new cabinet will be formed-he has the right to assign anyone in UTS. The leaders of UTS should voluntarily submit their resignation so the new President can choose new people for the positions. Unless there is difficulty, students should come as single people not living with their wife and children-study and pray together as students. Faculty members have to practice living together with 3 families in the same house, sharing kitchen, rooms, children, etc. as a kind of training. Father’s plan is Korean, Japanese and German families living together in the same condominium complex, to unify. If you can’t cope with this training and system you can go out and find a job on your own. That way saves living expenses. We are deeply indebted to Japanese members who sacrificed to give money-they stay single until 33 years, Jesus’ age. But now Father reduced the age to 30 because of the grace of True Parents. After the year 2000 normal age will come back-no limit for married life. With only American people Father can’t accomplish. Father can use a baseball bat on Asian leaders and they won’t complain; Americans would sue Father. You are the ones who witnessed Father’s persecution. Dr. Shimmyo, can you do a better job than President Kim? Mr. Joo tried to escape when Father re-organized the Washington Times, but Father told him the break even point was coming. Now the Washington Post takes the Washington Time seriously; our circulation is increasing. Be totally naked again and wear new clothes; otherwise pack and leave quietly. Until the place sinks under the sea Father will never give up. You need determination to succeed and return to your own country and become the president of a seminary in your own country. Father doesn’t plan to see you get old at UTS and waste your life-become presidents of Harvard Divinity School and Yale, etc. Father is the only one who can save this country. In every field at UTS the Divine Principle should be the center-UTS should be the center of every field in the world. In that sense Unification teaching is in subject position, all
other views are in object position. Centering on the subject as nucleus with everything revolving around Unification Theology as the center, all else is supplementary materials to support our position-Christian Theology, etc. As you continue doing this project you can read Father’s speeches to find answers to all questions in the entire world. Professors should teach students how outstanding Father’s view is compared to other views. Even when teaching Church History set the goal following the Divine Principle book and put Christian events as supplementary events for students to understand Divine Principle more clearly. That is the purpose of establishing the new curriculum to be used from September. Father’s goal and direction is UTS graduates will return after graduation as qualified leaders in and out of the Unification Church wherever they go. If UTS fails to do that, Father will utilize Sun Moon University and have a Divinity School there. But Father started UTS first and Father supported you so you have the first chance. Tighten your belts; before you think of eating, sleeping, taking care of your family, think of making UTS most famous campus in the world. Father spent many years catching carp there. In the future Father will run a ferry service from New York up the Hudson River-it has the most beautiful scenery in the world. You have to learn to drive boats too-the boats being built now for 160 countries. Mother toured 40 nations last year with 4 countries working together= 160 nations. Don’t you want to travel with Father and drive those boats! Many heads of state want Father to visit their country. UTS should prepare to take care of boats. It is time to create a new movement, new UTS. The boat is part of new UTS. Father will build 40 luxurious yachts and send them to the countries Mother visited-hobby industry, means make industry attached to your hobby. When you see blood gush from the fish all your stress disappears at the shock! At the ocean you have to fish, in the mountain hunt. Father has no fear of supporting life-can catch -~ish, shoot animals, it’s very convenient. Because of his training Father can do many things now in any field. When Dr. Pak encounters big shots he can’t control he brings them here and sits them down and Father controls them. Father is a very practical person. You have big heads and rely on speaking not action. Father does action first, and on that foundation he talks.
[Father asked Mr. Joo to give a report on the Washington Times]
Are you making a foundation to become president of a university? You have to run like at the Washington Times, make such a busy atmosphere, crazy, not the normal way. You need someone to give you direction all the time or you can’t move-after 10 years of that you can be a real leader. Now Book 1 is closed at UTS. Make a new determination for Book 2.
