Let Us Live in Attendance to God

Cheonghae Garden, Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, Korea

What is it that the Japanese members are to do in Korea?

Labor is hard for them, and the environment is not safe enough for them to work.

But what about the fisheries industry or matters concerning the mountains?

Whether hunting, catching fish, or exercising, they can do these. The point is to have the Japanese members, centering on moving the body, set an example professionally. They must leave behind at least one thing in which they can be a better example than the Korean people and only then go. Do you understand?

All Work Must Begin from the Sea

And so I will deposit from two hundred forty million won up to two billion four hundred million won. With that, boats can be built. Now this cannot be abandoned.

So those who have not attended here this time, send them back to Japan. I mean that those who could not attend will be sent back. It will be difficult for them to return to their home country. The point is for them to go to Okinawa, or Kyushu, or Kyoto, where there are many Korean people. After that, there are Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo, Kobe, and Yokohama.

People with an aptitude for marine bases centered on the sea must go. A maritime college must also be established there. The point is to study the fisheries industry comprehensively at a university. Thus, those who have graduated cannot go elsewhere. They must go there and, after accumulating experience for ten years—ten full years—then, even if they go elsewhere, they may go.

We laid the world's foundation through the fisheries industry, and we sent missionaries to forty-seven nations as ocean missionaries, but they all ran away. They all failed. What Heaven has begun cannot fail. Do you understand? (Yes.)

When a person is born, they must hold the rebirth ceremony, the resurrection ceremony, and the Seung Hwa ceremony. Jesus could not hold a wedding and could not have a family. You are married and have a family as well. The people of Israel failed to prepare the foundation of Jesus' life. That is why, until now, I have helped you. Now, from here, I must take my hands off. Have I not passed the age of ninety?

Indeed, you must work under an absolute goal that sets success as the standard. I will help with what I can, with all my strength, but whether one becomes a leader here this time or not is decided by drawing lots. I intend to assign positions centering on those leaders.

Now the leaders must build boats and, with a focus on keeping those boats cleanly repaired and maintained, do so thoroughly. It must be professionalized. And with that, you must compete with the Korean people and must compete even with the Japanese and American people. You must go and teach them.

In more than one hundred twenty nations of the world, you must establish a tradition of standardization so that, in carrying out the marine providence centered on the boats, you can be an example. That is what we are beginning.

Even if success does not come at once, since I have begun it, it must be brought to an end.

Centering on the True Parents, the King of kings, and then what else?

Your ancestor. From such a position, the tradition could not be made for you, and so all work is begun from the sea. The sea's water, air, and sunlight, and then what? There is vegetation centered on the mountains and fields. Everything is included. Water nurtures it. It raises the trees and the vegetation. Air, and then the sun's light, comes forth and raises life. All things can grow in that space between.

Let Us Make What God's Own Is

For what did you come to Korea in marriage?

It was not to come to Korea, bear sons and daughters, and go back. By raising them as the sons and daughters of Korea, one person must turn ten people, ten families, a hundred families, a thousand families of the satanic world into heavenly families.

Since we have made one hundred twenty nations centering on the twelve tribes, what will you do?

One hundred ninety-four nations and one hundred ninety-three nations are arranged as the nations of Cain and Abel.

If you add the two together, how many does it make? It makes three hundred eighty-seven nations.

The three hundred eighty-seven families must become one. After that come the four hundred thirty families.

What are the four hundred thirty families?

They are the three vertical stages. How does a tree grow? Centering on water and air and the sun's light, the roots grow in the ground. From now on, the fundamental form of all things that exist must be made in the new world and sown as seed upon the earth.

Hell must disappear. Because no one has grown as a seed of Heaven, even when they go to the spirit world, they can go only as far as Paradise. They must go to the Kingdom of Heaven. I have nothing. Having nothing, I have left things behind with all my strength. The Japanese people came to Korea and received the Blessing. “Now, from here on, you must make it.” That is the point.

God has never had the chance to make what is God's own. So the point is that we are to make the entire maritime realm into God's own.

From whom does that begin?

From Adam. Adam fell and was made to submit to the woman. Therefore, the one who, centering on the women of the world, becomes the representation of the husband and the representative of the man is the Messiah—the Savior. He is the King of kings, of whom there is only one in all nations.

Among parents, how many are the True Parents?

There are all sorts of parents, but the True Parents are one. When I conclude and complete the whole entirety, it all comes to an end.

Why did I tell the Blessed Families to come, centering on eight days?

Three times eight is twenty-four (3 × 8 = 24). The three ages are the Old Testament Age, the New Testament Age, and the Completed Testament Age; and only when the fourth age, the age of the liberation of Adam, comes does one pass beyond the number twenty-four—three times eight (3 × 8 = 24)—and go to another world.

In this way, the earthly world and the heavenly world are formed in the shape of the character “ten” (十), a cross. The national flag of Britain is formed that way as well. I conducted exchange marriages (교체결혼).

How many couples of Japanese and Korean people did I join?

I conducted exchange marriages, and Japanese people and Korean people are different. They say, “Japanese fellow, Korean person,” and then, “Korean fellow, Japanese person.” When Japan and Korea—enemies though they are—are thus set in swapped positions and turned a hundred eighty degrees around, it becomes the foundation of the Kingdom of Heaven.

What kind of character is the “yeong” in “Yeongguk” (England, 영국)? Is it the “yeong” of glory (榮), or the “yeong” of flower-calyx (英)? (It is the “yeong” of flower-calyx (英).)

The flower-calyx “yeong” (英) is the grass radical (艹, cho-du) placed above the character for “center” (央, ang). And within it, the character for “person” (人, in) is contained. Looking at the character itself, one can tell, “Ah, this is the mother's nation!” When Japan develops in Asia, it becomes one with Britain.

The earth is like the shadow of Heaven, and the body is what reflects the form of the mind as a shadow. The Fall, then, means that the body came to the center and devoured the mind.

So Heaven () disappeared. What I expound is not something that happens to fit by being attached at random. It fits because the fact is so. It is correct because it cannot be otherwise. It is correct because it cannot fail to be correct.

When the eyes blink, does the upper eyelid come down, or does the lower eyelid go up? (The upper eyelid comes down.) Is the upper lid wider or the lower lid? (The upper lid is wider.) The upper lid is the one that covers. Even when you sweat, with a blink, it flows from above to below. Everything falls from above.

Anything heavy falls from above. In what vessel would you hold what falls from above—something more precious than anything in all the world's affairs? It must be held in an unchanging vessel more precious than gold, more precious than platinum, more precious than cobalt—the very best vessel.

Where is such a vessel?

What would it mean if, in the end, even God were to dwell in that vessel and then come forth from it?

The principle of heaven and earth has entered fully into my body. “Where is God?” “I don't know.” “Hey, you fellow! I am right here—why are you searching?” Such a voice arises from within the belly. Thinking God is somewhere on high, one calls out, “God!”—because one needs Him. While one thinks God is up high, He says, “No! You fellow, where are you looking?” The point is that He is at the very bottom.

So, what must one do to find God?

If you do not know the bottom, you cannot know Heaven. I sat centering on the Original Text of the Principle (원리원본) and cultivated the Way—sitting down.

Where did the eyes come from?

Say, “Eyes!” (Eyes!) Are the eyes set lying down or standing up? (They are lying down.) Is the nose set lying down, or standing up? (It is set standing up.)

What Does Not Form a Pair Disappears

Do you know what the woman's concave is?

Without knowing how it is formed, the man wishes to see it. He wishes to know, that is. One must turn it inside out, turn it east and west, turn it north and south, and then turn it front and back, left and right.

Does the woman have many secrets, or does the man?

The man is all revealed. He has no secrets. What is there about a man that one would not know?

What about today's children?

When a boy turns twelve, his eyes open. Once he passes ten, he tries to open his eyes and look out. It is the same with girls. The whole of everything is Won-Hyeong-I-Jeong (元亨利貞).

What is the general thesis of Confucianism?

Won-Hyeong-I-Jeong (元亨利貞): The fundamental I-Jeong is called Cheon-do-ji-sang (天道之常) means that heaven and earth remain ever as they are. It was said, “Won-Hyeong-I-Jeong (元亨利貞)—origination, flourishing, benefit, and firmness—is the constancy of the Way of Heaven (天道之常); and In-Ui-Ye-Ji (仁義禮智)—benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom—is the bond of human nature (人性之綱).”

Anything that does not form a pair of subject and object disappears. There is only one family—there is a father and a mother—yet if there are only daughters, it disappears.

If there are only sons, it disappears. So, are both sons and daughters needed, or are only daughters needed?

What happens if the mother says only daughters are needed?

Even if there are a hundred daughters, that family disappears. Does it disappear, or not? If there are a hundred women and not a single man, they all disappear. Ten thousand women cannot be exchanged for one man. That is the conclusion that follows.

Why did you come to Korea?

Close to ten thousand people came to Korea and live here. If it were well over nine thousand couples, eighteen thousand should have come. The women came alone, leaving the men, leaving their families.

So how many Korean men did you come looking for?

Did you come looking for ten thousand? It is not ten thousand. You came looking for one person, one ten-thousandth of that. That one person is Reverend Moon.

Thus, you came to Korea looking to Reverend Moon; you did not come seeking your bridegroom or your mother and father. Is that so, or not? Whom did you come seeking? (We came seeking Father.) Is only the man needed? The woman is needed too.

If a man and a woman are needed, then parents are needed, and sons and daughters are needed too.

If there is our family, the uncle's family is needed as well; and if there is the uncle's family, the families of first cousins and second cousins are needed too. After that come the kin of the seventh, eighth, and ninth degrees.

For this reason, what kind of marriage is it?

(Exchange marriage.) Is it cross marriage (교차결혼) or exchange marriage (교체결혼)? (Exchange marriage.) Exchange marriage is the marrying of clan with clan, nation with nation, Heaven with earth. For this reason, heaven and hell disappear. It is a simple thing.

Korea and America Are Blood-Allied Nations to Be Brought to the Kingdom of Heaven Together

Reverend Moon becomes the King of kings and, among the myriad parents, becomes the True Parent.

Once the True Parents and the King of kings have become one, the civil realm and the royal authority are rounded into one, and the Satan of the world is cleared away without a trace. As for the crowds who held any possessions in the satanic realm, even if they are members of the Unification Church, they are burned up. Such crowds cannot but go into the fire and burn.

Yet true love does not burn even in fire.

What is true love?

Even if it enters into a fire burning at three hundred million degrees, true love does not burn. Like a ripe persimmon, it only displays the firelight as it is, while the heat comes out as heat and a fragrance arises. Even a person far away, a thousand li off, can be drawn in—what was about to die, what was frozen, can turn to water and flow. It does not burn, that is.

Reverend Moon's name cannot be burned away. Nor can the substance be seized and killed. Now, even if they try to bury the name and bury even the clothing, they cannot bury it. It cannot be burned, that is. In this way, the company of true love remains. Those who become garish, seven-colored heads go to hell, but the company of Reverend Moon, which can be the tail and is said to be the worst—people like us—rises to the top and becomes the horizontal.

A world in which exchange marriage cannot be done disappears. It is cleanly cleared away.

How is an exchange marriage done?

If only the Soviet Union and America were to exchange marriages, within three years, it would become the Kingdom of Heaven.

How simple is that?

The head of the exchange marriage is none other than me. The Soviet Union cannot do it, and America cannot do it. As for the road into the Kingdom of Heaven, there is no owner but me. A person who has not done an exchange marriage cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

What is the Message that is to be read in Hoon Dok from here on?

(It is a Message given on November 22, 1959, at the Former Headquarters Church.)

What is the title?

(The title is “The Place Where God Wishes to Dwell Together.”) It is my home, the land of my origin. Then it is all done. And so you too are to prepare so that you can return to your hometown. Though the field may differ, since I have taken responsibility and laid down something like a foundational framework, if you work hard there—having learned the model entirely—you will succeed more than enough, beyond the success I achieved while being driven about.

For this reason, undoubtedly, I will help you. Aju, it is good! What is our “amen”? (“Aju.”) “Aju,” what? (“Aju, joh-da.”) It is not “joh-da (좋다)”; “joh-a (좋아)” is correct. The point is to open your mouth with “Ah, joh-a (it is good)!” and sing once—your tongue dancing as it pleases until the sound of your teeth rings out. Open your mouth and perform with all the myriad strains of music.

When a train of a hundred cars runs along the track, you hear the sound, “da-da-da-dak, da-da-da-dak-dak,” do you not? It goes along keeping the beat like that.

The sound of the waves and the blowing of a typhoon, too, keep the beat. It goes “tung-tung, tang-tang,” twice. In that way—” eating and sleeping, going and coming, the good and the bad”—the living of a life is all completed.

There is a reciprocal voice. There must always be a mountain echo.

Do you know what a mountain echo is called in English?

It is called “echo” (에코; a reverberation). It is, “Oh dear, the nose (코, ko) has run off. Oh dear, my nose! The nose is gone.” Whether in English or in Korean, that word holds.

You must understand that Korea and America are blood-allied nations that must be brought to the Kingdom of Heaven together. That is why I served as a servant in America for more than forty years.

There Must Be a Partner

I have crossed the hill of fifty, and not all can follow.

So, only when one knows how to make this hill on the earth—going from ten to eleven, twelve—does one return. That too works out entirely by the principle.

There is no place for odd numbers. Because it is even, it belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven. God is the Absolute Being—can He be both the source of life and the master of judgment? Can he do the two at once? There must be a partner.

For this reason, what does it mean to be called absolute?

For Heaven to be called absolute, a unique earth is needed. An attendant partner, a partner-realm of the heart, is needed. The absolute, the unique, the unchanging, and the eternal cannot be separated.

Only then can judgment be carried out and the role of owner of the three ages be fulfilled. People live without knowing that the unique, the unchanging, and the eternal must always accompany the absolute. They have no such concept. Only Reverend Moon knows it.

This absolute summit has nothing but what will disappear. Without a partner, it disappears. Unable to come down upon the earth, it merely drifts up there—what becomes of it? It searches for a partner in midair and vanishes.

If the owner says, “Hey!” and there comes to be no answer that can say, “Yes,” what happens? If it goes round and round, comes out, and shoves me aside, it disappears.

I loved Uruguay. I made for Uruguay, all the foundation by which a welfare paradise could be built. As for the embassy in Argentina, I built it finer than a palace. With money that could build a palace in Korea, I built it well there. There, there are endless plains. When you are there, you hear all of it—the cry of wolves, the cry of lions, the cry of wild boars. There is a river there, and farming centered on that river's water yields a bountiful harvest for ten thousand years, a hundred years. It is a place where the water does not run dry.

What is the village where our palace is?

The place where the Inner Geumgang of Mt. Geumgang is—what Seorak was that? (Seorak-myeon.) It is Seorak-myeon. In Seorak, there are the inner palace and the outer palace. Centering on Birobong of Mt. Geumgang, there are Inner Seorak and Outer Seorak, and Outer Seorak, more than Inner Seorak, has become a pleasure resort that more than one hundred fifty thousand tourists can visit.

Do you know Misiryeong—Misiryeong? It is a pass of seventy li, eighty li, and ninety li. They built it after crossing more than halfway up the slope of Misiryeong. The question is why they made it so, instead of boring through from the bottom. As one climbs there, to go this way, a single pine tree serves as a marker. The point is that after going just a few kilometers, you should rest to cross Misiryeong. You should eat your evening meal in the shade or sleep in a small house. Otherwise, while crossing over, you get devoured by a tiger.

That landmark too ought to have been relocated and a tunnel bored, but since now there is no tiger and nothing of the sort at Misiryeong, they crossed over and bored it. It is only 3.7 kilometers. It would have been better to bore through the bottom at more than four kilometers, more than five kilometers, or even more than six kilometers. To travel 3.7 kilometers takes less than three minutes. It must be made not four lanes but eight lanes.

The way into our palace from Seoul is two lanes. They give no thought to making it eight lanes. Already, the four lanes are all complete. Centering on the garden of our palace, we must make an interchange and carry out the work of laying, beside it, an airfield from which one can fly from Seoul to Busan, Masan, Wonsan, and Pyongyang.

From Seoul, our hometown, home is some five hundred seventy li, or seven hundred fifty li. It is a three-day journey. My uncle used to go to Seoul and back within three days. Five hundred seventy li would be right! At five hundred seventy li, one reaches our hometown within two or three hours. Centering on Mt. Geumgang, roads must be made radiating in every direction.

Centering on Mt. Geumgang, the distances to London, Washington, New York, Moscow, or Beijing are the same. Do you know that an airfield is connected to our land in Kodiak? It is Anchorage. The Anchorage airfield is connected to our land. To go from Anchorage to Kodiak takes forty-five minutes by plane.

In a week, for three days, you cannot get out of Kodiak. It is a highland region, yet it borders the sea, so the weather changes often. It changes three times a day. It rains in the morning, rains at midday, rains in the evening, and rains at dawn. You cannot see a clear sky all day long. And yet during the period when I go and come, it does not rain even for a week.

In Las Vegas, it has not rained for several years, and then it rains when I go. A flood comes. They say, “Is Reverend Moon not coming? He ought to come…” It rains the day before Reverend Moon arrives. It is strange. And because they wish for rain again, they are waiting for Reverend Moon. (Beginning of the Hoon Dok reading of the Message titled “The Place Where Father Wishes to Dwell Together” from Volume 8 of Sun Myung Moon's Collected Sermons; We know that there is one place that our heart longs for and yearns for……)

The point is, let us live attending to God. Is this not the last? I say I will set you in that position—will you do as the Message says, or not? I have established the Wongu Peace Cup (원구피스컵). Now I must become the head of football. I must become the head of liberation as well.

Since I liberate even God, there is no Great King who can grant a reward but me. And so, because I treat it all as already accomplished, I abolish even hell, make a single storehouse, and make it into one Kingdom of Heaven. The point is that I will bring you into the Kingdom of Heaven without even weighing you.

All things prosper—it is the liberation of all, of the whole, of full authority, and of omnipotence. It is the whole and the entirety. It liberates even the God who is all, whole, of full authority, and of omnipotence. One cannot steal. One cannot go digging a pit in the ground to steal. The point is that one cannot go into hiding. One goes boldly, shoulders thrown back, speaking loudly, making a sound greater than a thunderbolt.

What would happen if I were not here? The father kills the son and the son kills the father; the husband kills the wife and the wife kills the husband; the elder brother kills the younger and the younger kills the elder; the sister kills the brother and the brother kills the sister. Why? It is free sex. When that fails, there is coercion. In America, I heard, a father, through coercion, had ruined his nine daughters. Seeing that news, I wept aloud. I said, “God, how am I to liberate this nation?”

What have I come here to do, carrying on this work?

It is because I must take responsibility that I have come to Yeosu and Suncheon. Suncheon must be made. The point is that it must become a Suncheon (순천) that can follow (順, sun) the will of Heaven (天, cheon). And as for Yeosu—is it dung-water or clear water? (Clear water.)

I understand that only when the three factions that have fought until now become one does it reach eight hundred thousand—is that so? (Yes, that is so. Suncheon, Gwangmyeong, and Yeosu are so. You do know, after all!

Turning dung-water into clear water—that I will resolve. It is simple. What if one were to build a seven-story cesspit? For God to drink that water, He would have to drink it from the eighth story. It is clearer than the water on the earth, you see.

Do you understand?

If, after a person dies, the elements decompose and become water, it becomes like fertilizer for the vegetation. Because that fertilizer-water is precious, the devil draws it up and drinks it, saying, “Hey, hand that water over to me! I, too, get to drink your water—and even God lives by getting a share to drink. You are hearing such words for the first time, are you not?

For this reason, I went to South America and chose the Primal Holy Ground. They are the Primal Holy Ground (원초성지), the Holy Ground of Restoration (복귀성지), and the Holy Ground of the Origin (근원성지). I made the three great holy grounds at the site of the Hotel Americana. I bought the Hotel Americana.

Where is it?

It is the foremost strategic point of the Pantanal. What is there? A great serpent appeared—they call it the sucuri snake. A pair, up to seven ja long, had made a nest and were about to lay eggs, but rather than killing them, I found them a place and moved them.

A New Nation and a New Heaven and Earth

More fearsome than Namu Amita Bul (나무아미타불) is “na-ke-mu-a (나케무아).” Try saying it. (Na-ke-mu-a!) Which is better—na-ke-mu-a or Namu Amita Bul? (Na-ke-mu-a is better.) Why is na-ke-mu-a better? What do you get when you say na-ke-mu-a backward? (A-mu-ke-na (아무케나).) A-mu-ke-na! Why a-mu-ke-na? Within the character for “nation” (國) sits the character for “doubt” (惑). “Well, whether it will become a nation, one thinks of it any-old-way (아무케나). Even if one is deceived as though it were a nation, one interprets it any old way.” That is what it means.

What happens when you dig out the “I” (나, na) and become no-self (무아, 無我, mua)? God appears. The God of the night appears. It is a-mu-kae-na (아무캐나). It means that, having dug it out, one no longer knows that an “I” exists.

Since the “I” too vanishes once it is dug out, who then becomes the owner?

When the human being himself vanishes of his own accord, the one who becomes my owner is not I, but God. “Why do you search? I am right here.” “Then I will attend You,” it comes to be.

One must become the king of the family, the king of the nation, the king of all under heaven. One must become the filial son of the family, the loyal subject of the nation, and the son or daughter of the world.

Only where there is a family does the Kingdom of Heaven come into being. Because there has been no family in the heavenly kingdom, there has been no Kingdom of Heaven either.

Did Jesus have a wife? Did he have sons and daughters?

(He did not.) What about Reverend Moon? Until now, I have met with opposition. Not only the religious sphere but the presidential candidates of nations latched on and declared they would kill Reverend Moon. And so they put me in prison.

At such times, I said, “If you would kill me, go ahead and kill me. I will come back to life.” Go ahead and kill. I have fully prepared the path I am to walk. On the day I am killed and come back to life, it is they who will die. I can die and come back to life, but as for you—do you die and come back to life, or not?

Even one who is simply alive, once buried, cannot come back to life. Since neither the dead nor the living can come back to life, the point is that the satanic world must be cleanly done away with.

It is a-mu-ke-na, na-ke-mu. You dig out the “I” and become the very substance of no-self (무아). When the “I” vanishes completely, what happens? God steps forth and declares that He will seek His sons and daughters.

Automatically, I come alive and am resurrected, and because I become the son of God who owns all under heaven, up and down, front and back, left and right become one, and only the Kingdom of Heaven can remain. Aju, it is good. Aju, it is good; it is good! (The Hoon Dok reading continues; Father, please take charge of everything! I have prayed in the name of the Lord…

One cannot pray beyond that. The content of the prayer, matching this very day, has become one Message with me. Since it is beyond doubt that the owner of the Alpha and the Omega, of the beginning and the end, is Sun Myung Moon, that whole course fits as an unerring course.

What was spoken nearly fifty years ago has become words spoken with a view to the place of conclusion reached today. Now that it has all reached its end, has it not crossed beyond the very limit of what was hoped for, with something to spare? Do you believe it, or do you not?

Is it not strange?

Yesterday it fit too, and it has fit straight on down. Is it a lie or the truth? (It is the truth.) I have forgotten it all. The point is that that person too can be given life. (Thank you.) There is no need to thank me. The point is to say, “In place of the formless God, I will set You at the fore, and I will follow without a word for thousands and tens of thousands of years.”

Now, with no impurity and no shadow, becoming one body, one becomes a luminous full moon—not a lunar halo, but the full moon itself. A nucleus forms, and the seed of God's sperm takes its place. So it cannot but be a new nation and a new heaven and earth.

The Kingdom of Heaven of Liberation and Release Is My Home

There is also the Message about “the journey of God's sperm.” Is there, or is there not? (There is.) When I came to know that, I wept aloud. The path of God's sperm! Where is the woman?

Who is to make the woman?

One must know the absolute man, the absolute woman, the absolute children, the absolute family. The point is that it is not a family that can live with God left out. Wherever one goes, it is a path of going about attending God, and so one does not come to ruin.

“The settlement of the Abel UN and the completion of Cheon Il Guk is Korea.” I am letting you know the two places—that the head of the Abel UN and the completion of Cheon Il Guk are in Korea—but since you came from foreign countries, what do you have? You have no mother and father, do you? You have no nation either. Since you all scattered and did not exchange marriage, you have no nation, no in-laws to help you; you are alone.

Now, what will you do if I help you?

What happens if, together with the fortune of the times, you are offered up as an offering, and you come into accord with that condition?

You enter an age in which even Satan can be attended. Then there remain only the sons and daughters who are absolute royal descendants, able to live in the absolute royal palace. This place is beneath Bonghwasan. Would it be good to dig a tunnel, install electricity beneath Bonghwasan, and build an elevator to the summit—or to dig from the seven-tenths ridge and build it? It stands at a place more than five stories up.

What would happen if one were to build a five-story house here and simply cover it with steel plating cut to fit?

At last, it becomes a palace beneath this mountain where God can come in and dwell! With cobalt steel plating, it is made so that neither water nor anything else can come in, so that only we can absorb it. No sound is heard outside either.

The members of the Unification Church are those who live holding the telephone line of a world in which God alone can communicate with the vertical world, and the horizontal world can communicate in all four directions.

The song sung on the boat yesterday was truly moving—did you hear it?

Sing once what was sung at the boat's side yesterday. I have forgotten what I heard, since I am old. (Singing of “Ulsan Arirang.”) (Bowing in reverence.) Bow in reverence! Do not die in the midst of performing the rite of love! You must go on for thousands and tens of thousands of years and live eternally. (Yes.)

When I was thirteen, knowing where Mogyo Island (목요도) is, the workplace of the black-pearl world awaited me. I was a person who studied to make a diving suit.

Did you receive the black pearl that was recently made into an award?

I left things to be given to four people who are graduates of Ewha University. To two of them, I have still not been able to give it, and of one, I heard a report that she had died. Should I throw it away on the ground, or what should I do with it?

The time has come when people, through their skill, can make both black pearls and white pearls. Platinum will be blended into the black pearl, and the form of the pearl in which black and white can unite is what we call papa and mama, sons and daughters, husband and wife, kin and kindred. Since all these meanings go into it, if you do not let go of it and it goes into my pocket, it can belong to the representative gift.

What is an earring?

What hangs on the ear refers to the man's reproductive organ. The woman likes a necklace and likes the ring of promise. And in the end, what? She must become the owner. It is the woman who goes about wearing something resembling the man's reproductive organ. The tokens one comes to possess upon registering a marriage are such things.

If one possesses these three things—by night or by day, in youth or in old age, in the eternal world—and lives in joy and merriment, then there is nothing that cannot be done through the prospering of all things, and the Kingdom of Heaven of liberation and release cannot but be my home. Aju, it is good! (Aju!) (Applause.) I will part from you and live loving the Mother in the secret room of the palace, so do no longer seek me. I must not come out again, must I?

The point is that you too are to prepare, beside the room where the Father and Mother of the heavenly world sleep, a room where the 6.5 billion of humanity can come in and dwell.

If you make that preparation quickly, I will arrange the same place for you as well. The point is to wait even thousands and tens of thousands of years, never losing the heart of loving the Parents, and to make a place of the Parents' love embroidered over thousands and tens of thousands of years, and to live even better than the Parents.

Make our home such that the Parents could envy it—make a bed, or a throne, where God can lie down and sleep in our inner room.

When you become one who can do so, there is nothing—is there not, is there not, is there not—that cannot be accomplished! It is Aju. (Aju!)
