Prepare for the Future

Cheon Jeong Gung, Gapyeong, Gyeonggi, Korea

Begin the Hoon Dok Hae. (Hoon Dok of the Message titled “The Sorrowful Heart of Jesus Going to Seek the Mountain,” in Volume 5 of Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Collected Speeches.)

Through One Person There Is a Path by Which Heaven and Earth Can Die and Live

Park Won-geun, centering on Jesus's circumstances at that time, my circumstances today, and the circumstances of Korea, feeling the difference of the situation realized in heaven and earth, speaks of what kind of owner of heart one must become. Was I driven out of Gangwon Province, or what happened? Driven out of Korea and driven out of Las Vegas too, where will I go? Thinking now of the figure of me going about with such a mind in an era like that, content, how is it?

If I had followed behind him, I would have attended him beyond God, but was there anyone to embrace and console that heart of mine, my body, and mind divided?

God, too, probably could not console! So who could have guarded Jesus's lonely final steps when he could only die? It would have been good to be a shield, saying it must not be so in that place—but it was I who had lost all such things! One must think of that. (Park Won-geun, a sharing and a report on the distribution of the autobiography.)

Listening to this person's sharing, comparing it with you, what did you think? Speak of it once. The life of one person is great, and when Heaven is moved to emotion through one person, there is a path by which Heaven and earth can die and live. The point is that I, born as the son of a farmer who lived in the countryside, have come this far today, held the golden wedding ceremony, and departed to take overall responsibility for the work of Las Vegas.

Centering on May 9, in that land, one cannot go and speak freely or even advise as one pleases — so what rally is to be held by going there?

I declared that I would proclaim four rallies. That is not a passing rumor. As substantial content, we go fitting the ratification, staking our lives; if one has felt the fact that, standing there, one is in the blessed place of being able to live for the sake of my heaven and my earth, our nation, and our world, where would there be a happier person than that?

The former president of Sun Moon University and people like Kang Hyun-sil are here, but how do you live?

If you have lived not even dreaming of one record-worthy aspect, such as Park Won-geun's living like that, do you not think the thought that you cannot follow to the Kingdom of Heaven where Park Won-geun goes and cannot even come here?

You are people who can compare, so if you have the intelligence of comparison, if one says that the hopeful Kingdom of Heaven follows to Korea only when, centering on that contrast about the difference of intelligence, one at least strives to fill in one's own insufficiency of today, do you not try the thought that that Kingdom of Heaven of hope can visit me and notify me?

I think it must become this time when one can become aware of the shameful figure of living, having cut off the path of direct bond by which not so much others as I and my sons and daughters can be moved to emotion. This person had a thought like that, and if the 130 people here move that way in a day, how much would it be in a year?

If it becomes 360 times, how thick would the cord be that can give emotion to the people of the world so that not only Korea but even Asia would be drawn in and toppled over.

A person who, knowing such a thing, cannot act — must he die, or must he be raised in the spirit world?

If one settles the accounts of such people and cleanly does away with them, those beside them, seeing that vanishing, come to their senses and can be awakened by Heaven's warning.

Why do you not think of dying, leaving even that stimulus?

If one simply forgets even after hearing such words, one is not a person.

One Must Do Heaven's Mission in Place of the Heaven That Entrusted the Responsibility

Today, Japanese people and continental chairmen have attended, but one must not think that, to rise in the world, attaching a color that can elevate one's name value, one will receive my praise. I do not think such a thought. I do not think such a thought. The path to walk is busy. There is much work to do. At this time today, you greet me and pass by quickly, but the point is that I cannot greet you, looking at you.

Reprimanding such a shameful self, I hope that they will console those people before Heaven in my stead. Praying even that, am I a human being who can be cursed? If there is Heaven, when I think that, before I am cursed, He would curse these countless people, it is fearsome. Do you understand what I am saying? I live that way.

I carry this book out every day. In it are submerged my laughter and my sorrow. I carry this notebook too. Can the content written here falsely accuse me, or not? If it can accuse me, it must accuse me.

Can the Message here falsely accuse me?

It can accuse me, and if I cannot fulfill that work, the Unification Church must perish. The point is that if one does not do Heaven's mission in place of Heaven that entrusted the responsibility, the Unification Church must vanish. It is a grave word.

How are birds, because they fly?

Because they have wings, they are birds. They can cross over the garden and can cross even the sea they look upon. You, too, should have wings that can fly over the sea of hell and heaven, but you have no wings. I now keep and watch a pair of parrots at our house, and when I come back from somewhere, they chirp and greet me. When I come back from somewhere, I come forgetting you, but the point is that those things chirp and greet, saying the owner is coming.

I bring them watermelon seeds too, but do you know how hard it is for them to bite and crack and eat them?

While struggling to peel the husk and eat, even the inside within the husk falls together with it. When the husk falls too and the inside falls, watching me and waiting, saying, “Will you give more?” I learn, thinking, “A growing life knows the owner like that and longs for what it can request before the owner, but what is it that I can pray for and wish before God? Am I not one who cannot even pray for what I wish?” So I think those parrots are grateful.

So, when I come back from somewhere and open the door of that room, I greet them first, saying, “Hey, have you been well?” and go in. Seeing such a thing, the point is, I say, “Before that which has had sincere devotion put in, there is no such word as 'submission,' and even any strong one automatically sprouts the way of compliance there! I learn from you.”

What is it that Chairman Moon can leave before he goes?

If you leave in the Unification Church a history beyond that of the owner who waits in the spirit world, there is no need to summon a person like Park Won-geun here and have him speak.

If I teach beyond myself so that one can do a human-worthy act, I would leave a hundred times, a thousand times my own, and go, and the Unification Church would not die but could live forever in God's bosom of love. Aju! I come to pray such a prayer.

Park Won-geun, seen one way, is an uneducated person. What is there that comes of doing what I tell him to do? Living this way rather than idling away time as in past days, when one sees that in the period of a few months that have passed, facts gained that one could not imagine in a lifetime can be harvested, and bonds of blessing one cannot imagine are connected, the point is that I warn that the one who goes attending Heaven must not forget that he is in a blessed place.

Going about hanging up the signboard of one responsible in the Unification Church, how does Heaven see it, and how do the angels of the spirit world see it?

All the people who believed in the Unification Church and went, and the juniors, in the spirit world, wish and pray for this—how will those spirit people see it? Will they help the path one goes, or block that path and do away with it?

I am too. The point is, if you do not wish it, do away with it. I pray such a prayer. If the parents have gone to the spirit world and one's own sons and daughters have gone, they take one away.

Taking one away, what will they do?

As parents who departed, leaving children bound to earthly life, if they fulfilled not one of what they wished, what would they say, taking one away, setting one before them, and driving one?

The Person Who Likes to Boast Perishes

Here it said, “The Settlement of the Abel UN, the Coronation, the Golden Wedding Ceremony, and the Seonghwa Festival,” but what is the conclusion?

Is it the Seonghwa ceremony, the coronation, or what ceremony?

Overall, it said the Seonghwa Festival. Seonghwa is the most important. That word “festival” I entered yesterday. More precious than any other word is “festival.” It is the Seonghwa Festival, and if anyone greeting that day's festival has no people around who can hold the festival or hold the rite, the festival is not a festival.

You say you will henceforth attend to me, but if you have no conditions by which you can leave a record in the history of attending to me, what would those conditions say about you? And what would they say about this Korea? These shameless people, the people who, to feed off the Unification Church, say they will lean on me! Leaning and not even repaying, and leaning again?

Do you not know that the people of merit, even among your ancestors, plant such people upside down?

Does one set up the ratification of the balance-beam that can render the verdict of heaven and earth, or not? Does the balance beam go up or down? The authority over life and death hangs on it.

Does Chairman Moon suffer for your sake to receive your praise?

Is he one who strives, coming upon this earth, to set up the authority of the True Parents and the King of Kings for that purpose? He is not such a person who can pass by.

I toiled to make this autobiography and these textbooks. It took thirty-three years. That is why, as spoken in my history in my thirties, think of the desolate content of Jesus going into the mountain.

If that Message were in the Bible, how much would it have made all the people repent? Do you not try to think how much Jesus would have made them repent if he had spoken those words?

If one is a person, one has the ability of comparison, so if one knows good and bad, if one knows the good, what must one do? Regardless of knowing or not knowing, the person who says they will live for themselves vanishes.

Do you wish to be praised somewhere, wish to be commended, and feel sorry if one does not recognize you?

Where are you people who lived?

Are you a lot to ruin the village, or what kind of lot? Before the garden where the owl hoots day and night and the migratory birds return and sing, I must set it ablaze so that it becomes a flower garden and guard it day and night.

One must not forget that there is such a path for the owner. The person who likes to boast perishes.

I poured in all the property I had in America. Even the reserve funds of over a billion dollars, I spent all in this period, with not a penny left. What are you? The person called Sun Myung Moon means to make your arm and my arm, my sea and your sea, into God's arm and God's sea. Now, speak. (Song Yeong-seok, a report and a prayer.)

The Realm of Rest of the Parents of Heaven and Earth and the Cosmos: Absoluteness, True Love, True Life

Among the titles of this lecture text, it is set as “The Settlement of the Abel UN,” but where is the Abel UN? Does it exist or not?

You do not do the work by which it can settle, so does it seem the Abel UN will arise?

Secure settlement and settlement differ. Even if one is securely settled, what happens if one cannot settle? Doing it in one or two worlds is a secure settlement, too, but settlement is not one or two worlds. The whole determined it.

It is one-sided; there is no relative standard. It ends with that alone.

If it is “The Settlement of the Abel UN,” it all ends with settlement, and then what? It is “The Completion of Cheon Il Guk Is in Korea.”

The completion of Cheon Il Guk is not Cain and Abel but Korea. Looking at what is written in this notebook, it is October 3, 2001. Centering on the period of thirteen years, I announce the era of the kingship of Cheon Il Guk, and I make October 3, 2001, the origin.

October 3, 2001, is the Founding Day of the World Unification Nation, but do you know that that day is the National Foundation Day of the nation of Korea? October 3, 2001, the Founding Day of the World Unification Nation! The title is so.

The first is “God's Coronation Ceremony of Kingship and the Departure of the New Heaven and New Earth.” The point is that thirteen years of new history depart. There are ten subsections set out in a row there. I recorded them all.

Entering the second, it is set as “The Founding Day of the World Unification Nation and We,” and the first is the complete liberation of the blessed families. The third is “The Era of the Confirmation of the Return of the Whole for the Unification of the Spirit and Physical Worlds.” The fourth is “The Distinguishing Report of the 120, Centering on the Four Great Sages of the Spirit World,” and the fifth is “The Completion of the Hobby Industry,” the hobby industry.

The family must have fun and must be joyful, and that refers to hobbies. What the man and woman are doing in married life is—the point is that it is to be joyful. The sixth is “Victoria Cultural Farm and the UN Problem.” It is all here.

Entering the very last, it is the 2009 New Year's motto, and centering on the realm of rest of the Parents of heaven and earth and the cosmos, the first is absoluteness, and the second, centering on the relationship of true love and the true Father, is the journey of the sperm. It is spoken of from the time when, at the age of seventeen, becoming an adult centered on God, Jesus came and handed over to the Parents. Entering the era of absoluteness, it is the journey of the sperm, centering on the relationship of true love and the true Father. That sperm, because there was no woman, has never settled.

The first is absoluteness, and even if the second, the journey of the sperm centering on the relationship of true love and the true Father, began from then, it could not land. The point is that there was no true woman. The point is that there was no wife of God. The point is that there was no bride of Jesus.

The motto is “The Realm of Rest of the Parents of Heaven and Earth and the Cosmos.” The first here is absoluteness, and the second, centering on the relationship of true love and the true Father, is the secure settlement of the sperm, and the point is that it is impossible.

Even I become a problem.

If I had been born within the egg of fallen Eve, I could not become the Savior. Because I escaped the linear relationship of the fallen world, which is revealed here. The point in these words is that the returning Lord did not appear within the bloodline of a sperm that has no relationship with God. The seed of the unfallen father's sperm, that seed, has never yet sown seed.

You say that the Unification Church's Chairman Moon also came out of the fallen bloodline, but by no means. The point is that he did not fall. God raised him, holding the spirit of the Parents in His bosom. Even if there are six Marys or a hundred Marys, none can form a love relationship. The one who forms a love relationship is the one representative being.

So, crossing over centering on the 2009 New Year's motto, the fourth is the realm of the unification of the three conditions into one body, the era of the departure of new children, and the completion of fruition! All things go well, and the point is that the Kingdom of Heaven has newly departed. Before that, it is not the Kingdom of Heaven. There is no father. However much they yearn for me and make a fuss about dying, the point is that one cannot love carelessly and leave seed.

The fifth is the directive of the era of fruition! Individual completion, family completion, national completion, world completion, cosmic completion, God completion, the era of the consummation of the cosmos. It is all directed.

What is the very last conclusion here?

Omitting May 4 and May 5, 2009, and writing down May 6, from then on, there is nothing here. As directives, the era of the unification of the days, the era of the family party, the era of the Abel party, the era of the Parents party, the era of the absolutely unified, stable party, the era of the completion of the unity of God and Adam, Aju! It all ends. After that, there is nothing.

“Festival” Is a Word Meaning to Commemorate Every Year

This time is the 51st Parents' Day, and the 51st means crossing over the rise. Because it has become such an era, it is “Distinctive Matters in Greeting Cheon Il Guk Year 10, the Era of Unifying the New and Old Calendars.” It has all already passed. I announced it all. Then it is "Centering on the left hand; one calculates by discerning the vertical and horizontal.”

Looking here, after “The Message of the True Parents, the 51st True Parents' Day, the True Parents' Golden Wedding Ceremony,” comes the Seonghwa ceremony. What did you say that ceremony was? 「It is the Seonghwa Festival.」 It is a festival.

“Festival” is a word meaning to commemorate every year. It must not pass once. Like a birthday, the point is to remember it. That is why commemorating it as “True Parents' Day, the True Parents' Golden Wedding Ceremony, the Seonghwa Festival” is the feast to be held in Las Vegas on the 9th. Once the Abel UN settles, centering on that, I will assemble the conglomerates and government officials and begin education.

We are now educating in Seoul, having passed sixty days, it was said, but it cannot be finished. The point is to do it for up to one hundred and twenty days. There remains a missional responsibility of having to bring the president, people of bureau-director rank and above, and people who have graduated from graduate school and above to our Yongsan education site, re-educate them, and place them as personnel of the Unification Church, as people responsible for training personnel who transcend the nation.

It said the realm of rest of the Parents of heaven and earth and the cosmos, but heaven and earth, the parents, and the realm of rest have no relation to the heavenly house. There is nothing bound to the journey of the sperm.

If it were only “heaven, earth, man,” it would become one, but when one says “man” (人), it is the father, so what becomes the father of heaven and earth? Centering on the sperm, there is no connection. The Parents of Heaven and Earth also have no relation to the earth. As “heaven, earth, man,” man has not become the center.

So, because the thing called the realm of rest of the cosmos is incomplete, because the realm of rest of the cosmos too is insufficient, one must keep absoluteness, and the point is that the journey of the sperm, which represents love, has never yet rested. I am not a man who lives carelessly. That is why the Unification Church's Chairman Moon is great.

Even if not 6.5 billion but a thousand times that many women come, they cannot seduce Chairman Moon. Without discovering a starting point that can accord with the principle and rule, however one tries, it does not connect.

But people regard me as having committed many sins. The point is, why do I keep women within an enclosure and have them about, having them attend even on feast days or birthdays? It is because they do not know all such things that they speak so. I have crossed beyond all of that.

From the time I passed seventeen years of age, they said they would make me a son-in-law. The point is that the renowned households of Jeongju County made a fuss, a competition over who would make Chairman Moon a son-in-law.

But they could not treat me carelessly, who knew the tradition and history of Korea, knew the tradition and history of Japan, and knew the history of the colony. Even the police station chief was so. I was a man of consequence. In the village I was connected with, even a tiger came and could not toy with it. It is only that I do not speak of it; there was such a history.

When I, on a quiet and still moonlit night, went seeking the mountain and entered a place where the round moonlight shone, you cannot know how mysterious it was. It was an environment in which all the things around could rejoice. When I entered that place, I did not know it, but coming to my senses, the point is that it was mysterious. As soon as I entered that place and sat, I dozed.

It was a moonlit night in the very midst of summer. In the midst of falling asleep, intoxicated with the full moon, the wind blew from all sides. In the midst of that dreaming, how would my mood have been, looking upon the reality of the spirit world?

Think about it. The mysteriousness of the sound of the wind — it was a place where, harmonizing on all sides, an environment of joy could blossom, so even breathing in, I could not breathe out and tried to breathe in again.

You do not know such a world. So Chairman Moon was different from birth. Our mother knew it. Mother said to me, “You must grow up this way, live this way, and die — so even if I go first and die without learning all that I must learn from you, you know and endure, and endure for the sake of the world beyond!” And I keep that word.

One Must Prepare for the Future

Do the women love me or yearn for me?

Which is it?

As for yearning, one can do it not for a hundred or a thousand days but even after death. One can do it even after dying, but the thing called love cannot be done once one dies. To say one will love after dying is a madwoman.

Without knowing whether I'm going hungry or eating, whether I went to prison, what is love? Loving, when one cannot even yearn? They yearn and say they love as they please. I am not Chairman Moon, who is played about by that. I am the husband of Heaven and the father of Heaven.

I, who put up “Sincere Devotion Moves Heaven” on the wall that I see going in and out, and who, every day, put in sincere devotion by the principle that sincere devotion moves Heaven, have never lived carelessly as I pleased. Ask.

Do you know that there was a period when I was locked on several pieces of iron?

It was because of the women that I did so. The point was that it was fearsome. If one is bent and drawn into that, one never escapes forever.

That is why you must write even the testament that you will put even one object I hold into your coffin and prop your head upon it instead of a pillow and die. If one does as one pleases, one thinks it all works out, but it is not so.

One must know what the gate by which Heaven can go is, what the fortress site is, and what the resting site is regarding the future and prepare to take possession of each one.

To people who are not so prepared, Heaven does not introduce the foundation that can become such a resting site, such a welfare foundation. Becoming like dry, barren marble and spewing out only cold air, not even a bird comes to perch. In such a place, even the birds do not lay eggs.
