5) Godism and Unificationism
Now what we should uphold is the Headwing, not the left-wing or the right-wing. Then what is the Headwing? It is under Godism. That is what you should understand. Under Godism, the Headwing exists. Because Godism is added on top of the Headwing, through the spirit world, and the Headwing of the earthly world, they are completely connected. That is why the word, Headwing, is needed for humanists whose life is based on materialism. They cannot oppose once they are presented with the Headwing as their substitute. Next, what is Godism? If religious people are confronted with Godism, they cannot dispute it. These two words, “Godism” and the “Headwing” are extremely persuasive to two different types of people who are religious people and secular people. This, you should understand.
From now on, one of the most powerful words that we can proclaim to society is ” Headwing.” That is a body-centered ideology and is necessary for humans to live in this world. Then, what is Godism? It is an ideology that is based on spirit. If questioned regarding Unificationism, it makes these two, the Headwing and Godism into one, making a wholesome person. For this, a clear distinction should be made. Therefore, the Unificationist should be welcomed before God while living on earth, and also, wherever they go, in whatever position or situation they may be, they should be able to cope.
How can unification be achieved? You now understand Headwing and Godism. Right? [Yes.] You also understand Unificationism. You bring unification through the true spirit of God. That is logical. Why? Since humans came from the origin, God, as a motivation of the subject being, to bring total unity, we should connect that origin to our physical body. Otherwise, we can conclude that such unity is not complete. (162-104)
6) The Role and Mission of the Unification Church
What is the Unification Church? Where is it heading, embracing both the right and the left? Its purpose is to guide people to the world of happiness, that transcends the struggles of the world. Then, you should not live only a two-dimensional life.
Even if it comes down vertically, all of this should go together. Even if this is done like this, it should be able to go down further. What that means is that the Unification Church should be equipped with a theoretical system that can restore all of the failures that were brought by other ideological and thought systems of the past. But at the same time, it should embrace them and move them horizontally. By so doing, from the vertical standard centered on religions, it should also pursue an inter-substantial being based on the foundation of spiritual experiences that can be mobilized.
Unification Thought should theorize systematically both human-centered humanism and material-centered materialism from humanistic views and all God-centered ideologies from the past to the present, with a content that can unify all of them. At the same time, from a vertical perspective, it should become an inter-natural religious thought that can be experienced and can connect religious denominations, transcending them. This we must understand. What do I mean by that? First, it means that we should become a person who can be told by materialists and communists: “That Unification Church member is more committed to their work than we, communists. Further, so are they internally in terms of their character and conscience. The Communist Party needs someone like him or her.”
Second, we should also be told by secular humanists, “We wish to have someone like him or her in our world as well.” Third, we should be told by Christians, “Wow! The Unification Church members are remarkable people although they do not belong to our denomination. I wish we could have such a person in our church.” Fourth, we should be told by God as well: “Truly, this person is someone whom I need, no matter what.” That is, we should become a person who meets all qualifications in these four aspects. Then, all problems will be solved. Such a person can be complimented by the communist world, by the secular humanists, by the denominationists, and even in the spirit world.
Since no one who lived on earth and passed away has gone through such a process, they can be proud even in the spirit world. What does that mean? It means that such a person has a perfect brain, perfect feet, perfect hands, and perfect internal organs. Throughout human history, if there is a museum for a perfect man and a perfect woman to be chosen and exhibited, such a type of man and woman will be chosen only from among Unification Church members. We can digest communists. We can digest secular humanism, Christianity, and even God. With what? With true love. With true love. (162-102)
Since the Unification Church belongs to the Headwing, it can control both the right-wing and the left-wing. In the secular world, there is no Headwing. That is why the two sides are fighting. (181-245)
The right is right-wing, and the left is left-wing. They are fighting. Right? But now, they should become one, centered on Rev. Moon. The same goes with Russia and U.S.A. The Headwing thought comes from this. “Yoo” in Chinese character means a head. In order to become a head, centered on God, it should be connected here. If these two worlds of mind and body are connected centered on love, everything will be finished. (164-191)
7) Unification Thought Embraces the World
What is Unification Thought? As to the fundamental questions of the universe, there are two schools of thought: historical materialism and historical spiritualism. Therefore, Unification Thought has been systematized as a means to seek for an answer to the question and to resolve this problem. We should understand that this is a thought that was newly organized and systematized for a purpose of presenting a new world view and a new philosophy of life. (165-337)
Today, centered on the different thoughts of both camps, democracy and communism, we see that world views on history are crossing each other. Under the circumstances, we are in the standpoint where we cannot hope for anything, nor can we trust in anything. However, with a content that can critique this and present an alternative, Unification Thought can stand in the position that can show hope to all humanity on the higher level. Therefore, with this thought, we should go over democracy and communism. Even the barriers that cannot be overcome by democracy and communism should be overcome by Unification Church members. (49-91)
Unification Thought came to present two missions to fulfill: to awaken the world of religions and thoughts worldwide for their unity. Unification Thought does not take a vague position. It is going towards the vertical direction centering on God. What is that vertical direction? It is the foundation of heart. (51-70)
What will be the thought that can become a historical core, a time-era core, and a future core? In other words, what will be at the center of the worldwide thought that can become the historical fruit when viewing history, the center of time-era, when viewing the time-era, and the origin of the future, when viewing the future? It is a true man and a true woman. Then what is their view of life? It is to live a fruitful life for the world. The reason for the two to love each other is for the sake of the world, and the reason why they have children is also to create a motivation to love the world more deeply. Such is the ideal that we are now striving to realize. I am not sure whether you know such a content in detail, but as far as I know, when viewing the world both from horizontal and vertical perspectives, we arrive at a conclusion that history must be explained from such a standard. (25-147)
Where is the world going from now on? Communism is wrong, and so is democracy. Now the only home that we have is Godism alone. I started a dreamlike mission about 40 years ago. When looking back after working hard on it, I see myself standing on the summit of the world. I laid the foundation so that people cannot accomplish a worldwide task unless they go through the Unification Church. The same is applied to the Republic of Korea. The same goes with the education of leadership. They appeared to be so inspired with a sense of righteousness, studying books and taking notes for five hours.
Whoever saw the scene, could not help but to be moved. Even if their head was made out of raw steel, it is supposed to be melted. If they are the same humans as we are, they will respond to us. Father has been accomplishing a mission that no one could ever do in the past, despite countless persecutions on the cross throughout his life. There are three ideologies in the world: Communism, Democracy, and Godism. Among those three, democracy is the right-wing, and therefore, it should be carried on the right side. On the other hand, since communism is the left, wing, it should be carried by a left hand. And if it is swung around once, everything should be finished. Then, does Godism have such power to hold both democracy and communism and swing them around once?
Rev. Moon does not have such power, but God does. Nevertheless, Rev. Moon’s foundation is so strong that it cannot be separated from God as God is going around. (11/2/86)
In order to catch many thousands of fish at a time, you should throw a net, keeping it loosened until many of them flock together. Then you pull and roll the net. Such is Father’s strategy. If you do it, all the fish inside the net are supposed to be pulled to God. Everyone is supposed to go to God. (4/3/83)
Father’s idea is that if, centering on Unification Thought and the Unification Church, if worldwide economy, worldwide mass communication, and worldwide universities are moved, the entire world will be moved as well. (196-257)
The confrontation between the Communist world and the free world is, in short, a confrontation of ideology. It is a confrontation of philosophy, and ultimately, a confrontation of ideology and thought. If God truly exists, atheism is a lie, and if God does not exist, materialism becomes the truth. Both of these ideologies, which have different views as to the existence of God cannot be true. One of them will be false, leaving only one to be the truth. For this reason, we who believe in the existence of God should be able to see real evidence of His existence in our daily life and know Him as a God who cannot be defeated by the world. The ideology that denies the existence of God can be overcome only through clear evidence that can prove His existence. Then, the matter of Communism will be destroyed on its fundamental basis. The movement that started with such a mission is the Unification Movement in the Unification Church. (10/8/82)
The Unification Movement that was initiated by the Unification Church attempts to bring solutions to the problems of the world and humanity. First, the Unification Movement is a movement that can bring an aggressive solution to the issues raised by Communism. For this to be done, the free world should first have a spiritual realization and repentance. Based on this spiritual realization and repentance, all solutions for the human problems will be derived. Second, the Unification Movement is a movement that attempts to establish a foothold through which all religions of the world can help each other and cooperate with one another. All religions of the world should be united as one power in the faith of God. The original mind of humans is to recognize God, our creator and the Father of all humanity. From attending one God as the Father of all humanity, one Unification Family can be realized. Third, the Unification Movement is a movement to build a moral world. This is rather important for today’s youth. Since there is no absolute standard of morality, immorality is prevalent. An avaricious and selfish lifestyle in which they seek their own self-interest, disregarding whatever happens to others, and even using others for their own sake is encouraged and is rampant.
If this continues, our society will not be able to avoid self-destruction. For the sake of building a world of goodness, the absolute standard of morality cannot be seen apart from the creator, God, based on His views on the right values because He is the only one who is eternal and unchanging. He is not conceptual God but should dwell within us every day. If all men and women of the world are always living with God in communication with Him, there can be no immorality. This is a solemn truth. In front of the truth, lies are dissolved, and even if the lies are supported by a great political power, financial power, and social power, in the end, that power will not be able to overcome the truth. Even though communism is now powerful and influential, since it is not based on the truth, the day when communism will be destroyed will arrive. (10/5/82)
