In his March 1 speech, “Proclaiming True Parents”, Father announced that True Parents had been proclaimed throughout Korea in his five city public speaking tour held there during February, 1990. After his return to America, Father announced he would speak to Koreans in America during a similar five city tour from March 18 through March 30, 1990. The following is a translation of the speech which Father gave to Korean residents in New York at the Manhattan Center on March 30, 1990. He gave very similar addresses to the Korean communities in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, DC. Following this speech are testimonies from brothers and sisters who participated in this five city speaking tour.
If there should be a title for my talk this evening, it is “True Unification and One World.” “Unification” is what every man wants and it will remain our desire for as long as humankind continues to exist. Not only man wants unification, but God as well.
What people accept as truth tends to change. Many prominent philosophers and thinkers have defined “truth”, but they are constantly challenged by their students who strive to surpass their teachers.
Every man, whether he is from the East or West, has a desire so large as to want even God to follow him. Every being in the world wants to represent God, who is the center of the universe. There is no way of denying that this is true.
What is the truth that all people want, regardless of their differing and extensive desires? For man, it is woman and for woman, it is man. What is true for God is human beings and what is true for human beings is God. Only through true man and true woman can unified true love be found. Unification of God and man is achieved only with true love at the center. The absolute value of man and woman lies in true love. They want to follow love’s dictates, even forsaking life itself. God, who is an absolute being, placed true love in the most precious position as the center of absolute value. Therefore, even God absolutely follows true love. Marriage is to achieve true love between man and woman, whose unity is the expression of absolute value horizontally in order to occupy God’s absolute vertical love. Here lies the purpose of man’s life. The solution to all problems lies in man, woman and God coming together in complete oneness centered on true love. When we search for the limit of human desire, we find that true love is the ultimate want. Men will seek no more after they possess it. My desire is to become, among all religious leaders, the religious leader who most notably conveys true love.
HEAVENLY SECRETS
I know the spiritual world very well, so I view the whole world in perspective. Only with the coming of this age have the secrets of heaven come to be known. These are things which only God and Satan knew. I now bring these heavenly secrets to the attention of the whole world. The teaching of the Unification Church is the truth of salvation, the words of life and true love which humankind needs.
When the savior comes to save the world, he should not judge it with an iron rod for he will not be able to subjugate even one person. The most disloyal sons and daughters can be revived only by the long labor of calloused hands and tears of love of a suffering mother. Even God, the great king of judgment and Will, could not unify the cosmos without true love. For it is in true love that we find the power to go forward, even forsaking our lives.
Throughout history, many people have sought true unification and a unified world. Heaven also worked hard to find true love. Because of the human fall, there is no true unification, unified world or an individual who has true love. No one has known what should be the key for true unification. It must be revealed that the key for unification is within “myself”.
God’s strategy and Satan’s strategy have always been completely opposite. God’s strategy is to take a beating and later make a claim for damages. Satan’s strategy is to strike first. In both the First and Second World Wars, the side which initiated the offensive lost the war. The Third World War is the war of ideology and thought. God does not want to destroy His enemy and forcibly take back what was stolen, even though He is the legitimate owner and has the right to reclaim what is His. He let Himself be beaten so as the parent, He may bring His disloyal sons and daughters to repentance through His own suffering.
STRATEGY OF BEING BEATEN
To erect the universal way of the Heavenly Principle, God Himself goes to people with much perseverance and teaches them how to conduct themselves. When a great teacher arrived, Satan repeatedly rebelled. The master tried to help the people understand, but they beat him. Do you know what came after the beating? The teacher received a further claim.
I am a public person and have received many beatings in this public position. But look back at history. All great teachers have terminated their lives in misery; but as the ages of history flowed on, their recognition gradually increased. The longer the lapse in time, the more perfectly their claim enveloped the world. If the claim perseveres for thousands of years, the interest over such an immense time period compounds to an enormous sum, enough to buy the bank itself. God is the person who uses the strategy of being beaten and then restoring. At the complete downfall of the evil world, goodness will suddenly inherit many things. Through many spiritual experiences, God has taught me the principle that to receive persecution is another way of inheriting what the enemy has owned. The person God really loves always receives the protection of the heavenly flow of fortune.
True love is something we cannot see, yet it is the most precious of jewels. People love jewels because of their unchangeable, eternal nature: gold for its unchanging color, diamonds for their unchanging hardness, pearls for their unchanging harmony of colors. Who are the jewels among men? If you think about it, they are the saints. The teaching of a saint should endure as an unchanging principle in the spiritual world. Even if a saint claims that his teaching is unchangeable on earth, if the teaching is not upheld by the spiritual world, he will be branded as an impostor. Then who is the saint of all saints? The one who wants to be God’s own son to receive the greatest love from God would be the hero to win first place. True love is all that matters.
Among the major religious leaders, Jesus said he was the only begotten son. But Jesus also said that he would have to come again to consummate God’s Will. He had proclaimed His love but could not substantiate that love. I also spent my entire life trying to substantiate that love. Even Jesus had to recognize me in this respect. Some Christians may feel strange to hear this, but it is because they do not know how the water flows, what is the origin and what is heavenly law.
I am from a patriot’s household. I have a grandfather who was a friend of the late Dr. Syngman Rhee and of Nam Sun Choi. My grandfather was very well versed in Confucian studies, graduated from theological school, knew good English and was better looking than I am. He had such a dignified bearing that I thought he had the look of a President. It was when I was a child, perhaps seven or eight years old, that grandfather was imprisoned by the Japanese for three years or so. While grandfather was in prison, the underground independence army had great financial difficulties, and when they heard that my grandfather had been released, soldiers came to my home to see him in the middle of the night, in heavy snow. My parents pushed us children into bed and covered us with quilts so we could not see. They cooked noodles and boiled chickens to serve them. I remember this as if it were but a few days ago.
At that time, I thought to myself, “Such a great grandfather, but why did he have to go to prison when he was doing such good for the country? Had Korea only been stronger than Japan, such an injustice would not have been allowed.” I thought further, “Since we cannot trust the powerful countries of this human world, we should trust God who is the great Lord of the Heaven and Earth.” It was then that I began to explore the existence of God. “If only I could know the real existence of God, I could surely solve the basic problems of human existence,” I thought.
That is how I became the leader of the Unification Church. How often has my clothing become drenched in sweat and tears and how greatly have my elbows and knees become calloused! I had to spend more than 12 hours a day praying. I never ate before I had finished, nor could I sleep before a problem was solved.
Why did I suffer so much? It was to discover true love. But then, I had to ask, which was first, love or life? To discover the root of the universe, I found that love was the first to exist. Where did your life come from? It came from your parents’ love and finally it will one day return to God. The absolute God wants to live centering on true love which He can follow absolutely.
GOD FOLLOWS TRUE LOVE
God is our Father. Can a father ever make his son practice something which he has not first practiced himself? It would be theoretically absurd. Therefore, before God orders me to follow something absolutely, God Himself first follows it absolutely. True love, which God can absolutely follow, is worthy of becoming a foundation to occupy even hell. The only way by which you can become happy is true love. When you have true love you can even digest sorrow. Because true love is man’s original and ultimate desire, it is true love which bestows absolute authority rather than any individual power, knowledge or wealth.
True love comes from the true love of God which is its origin. The girl who is about to marry, hopes that her husband-to-be is better than herself. The same is true of a husband’s desire for his wife and parents’ desire for their children. Such a mind comes from God. Since the desire of the causal being comes directly from the origin (God) transcending the individual self, “I” who am a mere recipient, can never deny this reality. Because God is the origin, we conclude that God wants the objects of His true love to become greater than Himself. This is the very origin of the true nature of all beings.
A sculptor spends many sleepless nights, consumes his youth and invests everything he has in order to create a masterpiece. Where does that mind come from? Doesn’t it come from the origin, God, who created His objects of love in order to experience happiness through them? The creation of man was as an object of God’s true love, for even God needed a partner of love. Likewise, all of creation was created after the pattern of man, to be harmonized and comprehended by man; all for the sake of ideal love.
If two beings cannot have give and take action, God cannot compel it. On the other hand, if they are made to be pairs, even God cannot stop it. Minerals, plants and animals are designed to function as correlatives, according to the ideal model of creation. Centering on the true nature of true love, there is a consistent flow from God’s heart to the original human heart to the heart of all things in the world of minerals, plants and animals. If you enter into that world you can even speak to the rocks. Humanity’s problem is that they have never known that world. When I enter into that realm of mystic circumstances, every creation around me is a friend. When I enter into the realm of love I am filled with ecstasy; when I laugh all things and even God harmonize.
CREATED IN PAIRS
In God’s universe, He created the most precious being as His partner of love, placed him in the position of master among all other creations, all of which exist in pairs, male and female. Who do you think is the masterpiece? Man.
Man is to live with both the horizontal and vertical connection to true love. When a carpenter builds a house, does he check the horizontal line first or the vertical line? When he checks the horizontal line he necessarily already has recognized the vertical line. Likewise, the concept of woman presupposes the existence of man. By the same token, to think about a man presupposes the existence of a woman. When we say “up”, we already have “down” in our mind, and when we say “right” we are already recognizing “left” before we say it. Horizontal can be expressed only after the vertical is correctly determined. Thus, to recognize the preexistence of a correlative is evidence of the partnership in which the two correlatives exist for the sake of each other.
God’s true love is to invest His love and keep no memory of having given. So long as He remembers having given to someone, He cannot give endlessly. Love is moving ahead endlessly, so it should not stop at the memory of what has already been given. God, in the father’s position, has given man this priceless love of limitless value, but forgets that He has given. Even though His sons and daughters who have received this love do not recognize it and rebel against God, He still continues to give. Only through endless giving on God’s part are you able to sit here.
You, too, have loving sons and daughters. When you buy clothing for your children, and have to settle for something less expensive, this hurts your heart. You wish that you could buy better clothes that is your heart as a parent. That parental heart in its depth has its root in heavenly Principle, for the path of true love is not the way of receiving but rather of service and giving. This is a matter of conclusive fact. Therefore, God, in creating His own partner of love, wants to stand in the position to serve and give, to invest everything He has, and still desires to give more. This is God, who is the original center of existence and who created heaven and earth.
When a person with true love gives 100% or more, a vacuum is created. It is just as in the atmosphere: when there arises an area of low pressure another high pressure automatically fills its place and generates circulatory movement.
Therefore, where there is a will to serve absolutely, you will be connected to the source of unlimited power. God wants to exist for the sake of a man who lives in such a manner. To start from that position and continue endlessly giving in accordance with the original nature means that it becomes possible to exist forever. Thus in the way of true love one can easily find the principle of eternal existence.
Since God is the origin of true love, had man, who was created as His partner of true love, matured and inherited absolutely unchanging true love from God, human history would have developed as a history of unification. There would have been no war or tragic bloodshed.
THE GREAT WAY OF TRUE LOVE
The reason why God does not punish even though He may see an enemy and have the urge to kill him in revenge, is that he is thinking of the enemy’s parents, wife and children who all love him. Knowing their unparalleled love towards that person, God cannot strike him. When you really understand such a heart of God, could you take revenge on your enemy? Knowing these things, you would go and help that person. In this manner one comes closer to the Great Way of heavenly Principle, that Great Way which tries to embrace everything centering on love. When this happens earth will shake and induce even God to shed tears and exclaim, “You truly resemble me; how happy I am!” God always looks at things in that perspective. This is how we should understand the teaching to love one’s enemy. The source of such a power to love your enemy lies not in knowledge, money or earthly power. It is only in true love. Consequently, you must look at the unification of North and South Korea in that true love perspective, for the sake of the loving sons and daughters and parents. Then you can go over the high hurdles of antagonism between the two sides.
The unification of Korea is the wish of parents, brothers, sisters and all 60 million Koreans. Each has a part of the responsibility for bringing it about. To deny this would be to deny the common wish and be a traitor to the whole. For what is our desire to live? It is not for the sake of money or even for country; it is for God’s true love which is the absolute origin of unification.
I have loved every one of five different colors of skin, loved more than my own beloved sons and daughters, wife or parents; loved them more than any patriot loved his country, or more than any loyal citizen, more than a deeply dedicated wife. I have loved everyone with God’s love; thus I represent God, the source of vertical love.
The fundamental nature of God’s true love is to serve others, whereas love in our human society is fundamentally for the purpose of making others serve oneself. This is the result of the human fall. A doctrine which says that others must serve only me cannot lead to unification. A man who follows this unprincipled course will sacrifice others for his own sake and bring those around him to destruction. For this reason, a dictator is never supported by the universe.
Since the Unification Church was entrusted with the mission of salvation, its teaching has to conform to reason. The Unification Church teaches about true love; what is its ground? First God existed, and then Adam and Eve. Adam walked ahead of Eve and Eve followed him. It seemed that Adam was to find God first. However, there is no unification where there is self-assertion. When Adam would say, “The reason I want to catch God first is for your sake” then Eve would say “Go ahead.” Likewise, when the woman would say, “The reason I want to catch God first is for your sake” then Adam would happily say, “You go ahead.” God looking down at this scene would say “Where did you learn that?” They would answer, “Why do we have to learn? You have originally created us in such a manner that we already know that this is the way true love goes, according to the ideal of creation. So we are simply following it.” God will jump to grasp their hands and exclaim, “Indeed you are my son and my daughter.”
OUR CONSCIENCEA PRECIOUS GUIDE
There is no country where I have not sent an emissary. I have sent them to major cities in the Soviet Union, and to the satellite countries which took the position of my enemies. How much blood and tears did our missionaries have to shed! When I heard that some of them were sentenced to death, how could I, who am the head of the Unification Church, spend the night without tears? I thought, “How pitiful. If he had not met me, he would not have had to go through such a course. He did not even have a chance to meet his teacher or to see the fulfillment of his mission, dying in the loneliness of a strange country. He would face the East, to Korea, and bid his farewell.”
Here was I, unable to hold his hands or help him or save his life; can you imagine my heart? I simply had to continue to march forward day and night even though I knew how much pity heaven felt over him who became a prisoner and suffered in Satan’s dungeon. I have waited and waited also because I knew according to the heavenly Principle that communism could not last more than 73 years.
It is important that our movement is of such large scale. But the more imminent task is to establish harmony within each individual self. To do this, we have first to realize we are the pitiful prisoners of sin, totally ignorant of the most precious and intimate being and master whom we could never trade for everything in heaven and earth. That master is one’s own conscience. How often has this conscience given us advice, and while we were immersed in sinful thinking day and night it tirelessly helped us to cross the river to safety.
Thus, our mind presents itself as a true master and tries to protect ourself; but our body constantly rebels against this mind, which was sent to us from the universe as a precious teacher. This body time and time again has betrayed our conscience, which was acting in a parental role, and which is the only link to the original, parental mind of love.
Should I cherish and protect this body, which has repeated ly belittled and mistreated my conscience which is in the position of master, teacher and parent, and has always tried to correct me and bring me to unity with God who is the great Parent of heaven and earth, the greatest Teacher and the greatest Master of the whole universe? Should this body be protected as it is, or should it be tamed and occupied? The question of how to deal with this powerful body remains to be settled.
I am the one who has been most serious about this matter, and have shed much blood and sweat for the solution. “Before you dominate the world, first dominate yourself” is the appropriate maxim for the Great Way. Before you ever hope to dominate the world, or hope even to have any connection with any affairs of the world, you must first perfect dominion over yourself. Conscience and mind are great entities; they represent to you your master, teacher and parents whom you could serve for thousands of years and still not have served enough. When you rediscover your conscience in such terms, for the first time heavenly fortune will come closer to you.
THE MINDGOD’S ALLY
Our mind wants to serve our body but the body does not want to serve the mind. The problem lies in myself and not in society! When there is a problem in my household, it is not because the problem lies in my brother or sister or father, but it is due to me. First I must set myself straight, and then I may set up a standard for criticizing the second and third person. Only after I attain unity in myself do I become qualified to live in a unified world. Unless I do so, how could I live in a perfect society where everyone else had already become a unified self? I could only retreat from it. We must know that we should never become a permissive master of our body, allowing this body to constantly ignore, damage, fatigue, or worry our mind. When we conquer and tame our body so that our mind and body can live for the sake of each other, happiness will visit us. God will come down to us, too.
Though it is the mind who should be in the plus position representing God, the body has become another plus and opposed the mind. To correct this disorder is our lifelong duty. God is very much aware of it, and for this, religion came into being as a repair shop. This is why Heaven is advising, centering on the mind, to subjugate the relatively evil body by disciplining it with a strong rod. From this comes fasting, sacrifice and humility. By so doing, you weaken your body so that it eventually follows as the mind dictates. It takes three to five years to condition that body so that it grows accustomed to the new way. This is the purpose of the religious life.
Then, we are also to live a life of prayer. The devil can wage his activities through our body 24 hours a day. To the contrary, God exists only in a vertical position, so he can work only through the mind. Satan is all around and is capable of working from every angle, anytime; so he tends to win every time. The mind can stand only in the vertical position and being vertical, cannot exert influence widely. Thus it is always susceptible to being pulled here and there as the body wills. By heartfelt prayer, three to four times more power can be drawn to the mind with which to balance the power of the body. Prayer gives power for the reconditioning during the three to five years required until new customs have been firmly established. There are absolutely no other ways to repair the self except through prayer and conditioning the body. Without going through the religious gate, there is no way to get onto the path originally intended for humans. The ways of philosophy, knowledge and conscience alone are never enough. Body and mind must become one.
Love has three great rights: the right to inherit, the right to live together and the right to participate. In love with God, we can close our eyes and still see God and be able to shed tears with Him. Those who have experienced God’s grieving heart may suddenly stop walking in the street and burst into uncontrollable tears. That world of experience can now be with us.
A GODCENTERED TRUE LOVE ROOT
When I will have equipped myself with the same qualities as God His original love which wants to live for the sake of others for tens of thousands of years and still wants to do more my mind will have grown a strong God centered true love root. My mind will feel everything that God feels, automatically resonating. Therefore, we have the task of winning God’s original love before we can prepare a unified sphere of our mind and body.
When we enter such a realm of resonance of true love, it is as if God’s love becomes my love, God’s life my life, God’s lineage my lineage. We come to have the mind of a father and mother who embrace the universe.
I know very well that this is humanity’s purpose. To bring this salvation to humankind, I go over every obstacle. I love all people of all different colors of skin more than I loved my own parents and brothers and sisters. This is the reason why members of the Unification church live like me. Knowing their teacher’s incredible difficulty, and shedding tears in spite of themselves, they are taught directly by spirit world.
It is not easy to reach this spiritual level. Even if you have been a good Christian for over forty years, dedicating yourself with many fasts and all night prayer vigils, you cannot attain it. Whereas, when you believe in the Unification Church, shed tears and feel deep empathy with me, you can jump to that level almost instantaneously. Do you know what change will take place then? You come to experience true happiness, and you feel as if you are walking on a cloud. Even if you work day and night without sleep, you do not feel drowsy. Even if you do not eat, you do not feel hungry. Spiritually you become very bright.
Look, ladies and gentlemen! Ten thousand educated young men and women from the advanced countries, people from Africa and the Americas, from East and West, of all five skin colors, gather together in one place and want to be matched and married by Reverend Moon. You know how serious a matter marriage is. One can never be sure that he or she has chosen correctly. But these people are all willing to entrust the choice to me.
Adam and Eve were growing to maturity and were about to become God’s perfect objects of love and partners of love. The very next day would have been the day of marriage when the couple would promise 100 years of faithful life together. But on that night a thief invaded the house and raped and snatched the bride-to-be. If years later, she realized who was to originally have been her husband and visited him with her whole family, would he say, “Oh, I welcome you”? No, he would be furious. How would our ancestor God respond in a situation like this? God only suppresses an aching heart, since evil is already planted in us. He can only wait until all the evil has run its course and He can harvest as He planted.
HARVEST OF IMMORALITY
That evil seed sown by the first couple has now reached the season of harvest, and we find youth’s immorality prevailing in all cities of the world. The devil says to God, “Your lineage of love created for the absolute ideal of Your creation is now facing total destruction. Yet are You still trying to say that the ideal of the principle of the creation yet applies?” He is sneering now. How would God answer him? He really does not know where to begin. Originally mankind was to be a child of the Lord, but now is suffering as a child of the enemy. Whoever understood the misery of God?
Since it is a principle that before one can enter into heaven, one must love the archangel just as God and perfected Adam and Eve would have, Jesus too had to elevate himself to the position of a perfected Adam by establishing that condition. I too suffered half of my life from this same predicament. All standards of victory are established where oneness with God in the father son relationship is achieved.
Grounded on this true love standard, Adam and Eve were to have lived and learned by observing love in nature, where everything is created in pairs. As they grew, Adam and Eve would realize that when they matured one would represent love in the plus side, as a prince, and one would become the princess representing the minus side of love.
The place of true love is the meeting point where vertical and horizontal intersect at a 90-degree angle. This is because love travels the shortest possible distance. Adam and Eve would be connected by a straight horizontal line, and connected to God by the shortest, straight vertical line. However, before Adam and Eve reached maturity, the angle became deviated because of the archangel. This is the Fall itself. Mankind received the devil’s lineage through the Fall. The attitude of putting myself foremost and my egoistic awareness are handed down through this satanic action.
God is not an individualist: He lives for the whole. Those who take after God think for the sake of all, and those who take after Satan think only about themselves. This point divides heaven from hell, good person from bad, public person from private.
THE ROLE OF THE MESSIAH
The satanic side people are like wild olive trees. People whom God separated and restored are the wild olive trees within God’s orchard, so God should be able to do with them as He pleases. God prepared them so that when the Messiah comes, He will cut all of them at one time and graft them into the true olive tree so that they regain their original state. Therefore, even religious people must also find a Messiah, a True Father. This is because they failed to receive the true seed of life from their fathers. The Messiah will teach all men how to create the 90-degree angle crossing with God. When you enter into the resonance realm of true love, heaven and earth become clearly visible. It is no longer necessary to keep faith. True Parents receive flowers at Los Angeles rally.
There is no longer any need for a Savior. This is liberation. All has ended. Then who are Adam and Eve? They are God’s body. In I Cor. 3:16 it is written: “Do you not know you are the temple of God?” You too, when you pray in a deep, spiritual atmosphere and call upon God in your prayer, “God!”, will hear His answer “Why did you call Me?” through a deep inner voice. Thus, the reason God undertook the dispensation of creation is first to find His object of love and second to obtain His own body. The form of God’s body is the inner form of Adam and Eve’s body.
God is the Parent of vertical true love, and Adam and Eve are the parents centering on horizontal true love. When I inherit the love, life and lineage of these two sets of parents, my mind becomes a vertical self and my body becomes a horizontal self, and I become God’s eternal partner in true love.
Then where exactly is the precise point where true love, true life and true lineage originate? It is the sexual organ. But the sexual organ has become a temple of evil. Through this organ false love, life and lineage have been planted. What was to have become a most sacred place now has become the primary evil in heaven and earth.
Why has such a precious thing become degraded, vulgar and despised? It is because it destroyed the heavenly principle. This is the very reason why cities and nations which are immoral in the sight of God always perish. America is on its way to ruin because of sexual immorality.
You must know clearly. If you become sons and daughters of God who inherit God’s love, life and lineage, and True Parents’ love, life and lineage, you too, like God, can secure for yourself the original root of the unified world where body and mind will never fight.
But today, when we ask a young woman why she is getting married, she will answer that she does so in order that she be loved. This needs to be corrected. Rather, she should say that she gets married so that she can love the father and mother and brothers and sisters of her husband, his whole clan and even country. When she does that, she will be raised up to occupy the position of mother of that household, certainly more than a mere daughter-in-law.
GOD’S TRUE FAMILY
Ladies and gentlemen, if you live such a life for the sake of others, you will go over the standard of all your ancestors in past history and will become an invincible victor who is worthy to be called God’s son or daughter. When you finally become a man who can control yourself, a perfect man, then you can recreate your wife. By investing two or three years and serving her, loving her for her own sake, and praying that she come to resemble you, embracing her again and again as if you were rearing your own baby, your wife will never betray you. Only this way can you expect the unification of the family. In such a family, parents will render love to their children for their sake for ten, even one hundred years without even saying words.
Then what am I teaching to all members of the Unification Church around the world? I am teaching the principle to serve others and serve again, according to the principle of creation.
Let us all carry on in ourselves the heart of parents, the body of a servant, and let us shed sweat for the sake of earth, tears for the sake of mankind, and blood for the sake of heaven. Let us never forget that we carry on our shoulders the historical cross: the responsibility to remove the grief and heartache of our Parent, the Great Lord\ of all creation. Let us all move forward to the way of salvation of the world.
When people see the shininess of the minds of Unification Church members who are following the heavenly Principle, they cannot help but take an object’s position. As naturally as the good fragrance of flowers makes us happy, to meet Unification Church members who labor on the way of original love, people simply cannot help but feel joy and delight.
Ladies and gentlemen, will such a group perish or flourish? When this group crosses the borders and spreads around the whole world, people of all five skin colors will work for the sake of the whole planet earth, and bequeath this tradition to many generations, increasing by the tens and hundreds their banners in every village, receiving cheers of joy. Then this world will certainly become heaven.
After becoming a member of Unification Church, you will naturally know what is right and wrong. Thus true unification begins from such a movement, and the true world is inevitably to be realized. With this knowledge, let us march forward toward the eternal, true way which both heavenly fortune and God will joyously protect. You are not alone. Those who pledge that you and your whole family and your clan are willing to go forward on this amazing way, along with me, raise both hands! Let us pledge again.
May God bless you. Wishing you to become true masters of true unification and one world, I conclude my talk.
