Cheonghae Garden, Yeosu, South Jeolla, Korea
Everyone, say “Las Vegas!” “Las Vegas!” What kind of place is Las Vegas? “It is a gambling den.” What is gambling (도박, dobak)? It is stripping away the thief (도적, dojeok). It is dobak, meaning the evil one has stripped away everything. It means it was stolen. What was stolen?
In the world, money is precious, is it not?
Character is precious, but if you hold money and then take it away, where does character go? Since they go after money, they even try to steal a beggar's wallet.
After stealing God's wallet and then after stealing even the beggar's wallet, where will they go? The way to go is blocked.
In Las Vegas, there are said to be from five hundred to three thousand bands of beggars living underground.
Have you heard such a rumor?
In a single day, even five hundred of them groan in underground caverns, and their crying is heard in the morning or at dawn. “I'm starving to death, my meal!” the cry is heard, they say.
My meal must be prepared, but if I cannot prepare it, who will do it for me? If there is a father, he prepares it; if there is a mother, she prepares it; if there is an elder brother, he prepares it—but I have no father, no mother, no elder brother. So the family is needed.
What is in Las Vegas? There is Caesars Palace, which calls Rome to mind. What is si (씨)? It is not a fake fruit but a seed (씨). It is Si-jeo (Caesar). There is Caesars Palace, I say.
What is there in it?
What is in it—the precious things of the six continents are all gathered there. What are the most precious gifts of the six continents? They are that of the woman and that of the man. They are the most precious things. To form a family, the man and the woman must be joined eternally and move.
What is a woman (여자, yeoja)?
Ja-yeo! When you say, “Ja-yeo, take my hand!” who takes it? It is God and God's son. The father of the mind and the son of the body. That was split apart. Your body and mind fight, do they not? Do they fight, or not? “They fight.” Having borne a child, you say, “You son of a thing, you son of a brat!” do you not? It is “son of a thing.” Have you borne a son of whom you can say, “Son-king, son-master”? God's sons and daughters are princes and princesses who can govern the nation of Heaven and the earth.
When you say “offspring” (자식, jasik), does the woman go in, or not? Does the character “ja” speak of the man or the woman? “It speaks of the man.” Why do the Japanese women go “cluck, cluck, cluck…”? The hen goes “cluck, cluck, cluck…,” does it not? For the woman to go “cluck, cluck, cluck…” means she needs a groom. How must the woman live? Must she suck in or blow out and give? Since she is concave, she must keep sucking in.
If, having the strength to blow out more than a hundred meters into the air from the ground, she sucks, the flesh is drawn in and goes in from the soles of the feet up to the head. To close the mouth, what happens?
You must go “aagh” and spit it out. Unless you spit out the breath you drew in within an instant, there is no way to close the mouth. To live, you must spit it out instantly, within one second. If you only know how to keep eating, you die. You must know how to keep giving.
The marathon runners went along, centering on the course like this, but the point is who treads more powerfully, centering on the marker for turning back, and crosses over first.
If ten thousand run, the one who returns first, ahead of the 9,999, rises to a higher stage. Having breathed out once with a “whoo,” how do you breathe out again? You breathe out only if it is stronger than the first, but if it is lower than the first, you die.
Say “day one!” “Day one!” If you cannot work from day one, you cannot work on day two either. If you love to play on day one, you will love to play even more on day two. The one must work for the two, the two must work for the three, the three must work for the four. The more numerous they become, the more they must entangle, centering on the center.
If they cannot entangle at the center, they all disappear with a pop. So, the discovery of the universe, too, can all be done from within myself. The material is packed full, I say.
So we say we breathe (숨, sum), but what is breath? “Whoo, huheup” is breath. When we say it rests (swinda), what does that mean? It means it begins to rot.
Unless you breathe, you die; you begin to die! It begins to smell. It grows distant. When you see a corpse, are you afraid, or do you laugh? Do you say, “Aigo, how nice!”? You say, “Aigo, how sad.” Unless the things moving within me can go the way of harmony, they die.
You Must Keep Step with the Principle of Heaven
Hair grows on the man, but hair does not grow on the woman.
Is God a man or a woman?
God is a man. Does a man have a beard, or not? There is a mustache, and it is in two strands. This mustache goes up this way, and this one stretches from here and goes down this way.
So when sweat comes, it guides it, and it goes this way. Going this way, since it must not drip when it comes here, of the two strands, one goes up this way and one goes down. The upper mustache goes up this way, and the lower beard must go down.
What is the heavenly principle (천리, cheolli)? It is to keep step with the principle of Heaven. What is human ethics (인륜, illyun)? Human ethics is to keep step with God's principle.
If you cannot keep step that way, you fall off and roll. If you roll, you grow smaller and smaller, and in the end, disappear. Since you have flown away, having left your hometown, there is no way to return. President Moon knew the principle of heaven and earth, all without learning it from a mother or father.
What kind of beings are mother and father?
What is like the shadow of God is the body of a woman and a man. God is not seen. Have you seen the mind? “I have not.” But is there a mind? “Yes, there is.” Where is it? When the mind feels good, why does it feel good? You do not know. It is made to feel good. It is made one. Why? Because it is made as one of my own.
Is this nose my own?
What protrudes like a mountain in the middle of Sun Myung Moon's face is the nose, and this is the authority of self-rule. The authority of self-rule is the authority that stands in God's place. The eyes too stand in God's place, the mouth too in God's place, and the forehead and the hair too stand in God's place. Small as they are, they hold absoluteness, I say.
What is it like when children go to kindergarten?
The kindergarten teacher is different from the mother or father. Mother and father give food and hold me, and whatever they do, they keep me close, but in kindergarten, eating and sleeping and the basic things are different. If one is rising, the other is coming down to the ground.
That is why we say we bear a child. Do we say we bear a child onto the ground, or that we bear it to heaven and offer it up? The man too is said to bear, and the woman too is said to bear. Bearing it, who rises? You know, at the time of marriage. The man rises, and the woman goes down. The woman's eyes must not be angular. They must become like a half-moon. There is no straight line.
It must become a full moon for the north and south to turn over. The crescent moon is the shape of women's eyes and the shape of the lashes (eyelashes). The woman's lashes wrap around her eyes prettily. When sweat flows, it must start from here and come to here and flow off.
If sweat goes in, it is a great fuss. If dust goes in the eye, it is a fuss, and if sweat goes in, it is a fuss. When the eyes are open and the wind blows, do you close them or keep them open?
When dust comes, what then?
The nose is important, and since dust goes in, you put on a mask. You must put on an eye mask too. The eyes can be covered and opened. Even opened to slits, everything is seen.
It Is the Mind That Transcends Time and Space
The twelve vessels of the blood vessels are all connected. The artery and the vein, the heart-vessel and the lung-vessel cross and become partners and connect.
Having breathed out with a “whoo,” you must draw in with a “huheup.” The air must flow. The air flows, and the water flows too. What about the sunlight? Water digs even into the ground and flows.
What is it like when the eyes cannot see?
Among the disabled, the most pitiful is the blind one (소경, sogyeong). It means a mirror with iron set into it (the play is on 쇠, “iron,” + 경, “mirror/lens”).
The blind one is Soegyeong. Since iron is set in so that one cannot see, it is soegyeong, they say. What is the nose? You speak of putting a ring through the nose, do you not? Making something do as you please, like a calf, is called putting a ring through its nose.
Become level ground! Level ground—since it is flat ground, even going at night, it is the same, so you can just walk along, but if it is uneven, your leg breaks. You thought it was high here, but if it is a low place, treading on it, you tread wrong and topple over.
So, the beat must match. Say “beat!” “Beat!” You say the word “beat” (박자, bakja), but why do you not say bangnyeo? Match the bangnyeo (a coined wordplay on bakja)! You must match the feet (bal). (Laughs) When you applaud, you must know there is hand-applause and foot-applause.
Say “a thousand-li journey!” “A thousand-li journey!” The wife who longs for her husband, even if the husband is on a thousand-li journey, feels him within one footstep. In a dream, she can touch her husband's face with her hand, kiss him, and touch his whole body. In the mind, it is so. It is the mind that transcends time and space.
When you come to know all this, the principle of heaven and earth begins with me. From the man or from the woman? When I was born, I was born from my mother's body. The mother's body—the bones, the flesh, and even the skin—I inherited it all. It is 99.999 percent. One percent is different, and that is the man's sperm. Sperm (정자, jeongja) means the right seed (바른 씨). The ovum (난자, nanja) is the egg.
Then is the fact of breathing for the sake of dying or for the sake of living?
It is for the sake of living. If you can keep breathing, you do not die. To have died is to have had the breath cut off. To be alive is for the way by which the heart and the lungs can give and receive, to be open. If you open that hole, it comes to life. It is simple.
That is why in the world there is a tiny hole that passes through the gap. What is it that came out, seeking that gap? It is water. When you say “it is water” (물이다, muri-da), it is, “Aigo, not just anyone can do it. It is muri (an impossibility).”
If there is only a crack, water digs in. Even if the tree's height is a hundred meters, a water droplet, centering on the root, clings to the gap and goes all the way to the top, and then rides over to the far side and comes down on this side. Circling round and round that way, the tree grows. The tree's branches widen, and the leaves grow many.
The grandfathers and grandmothers of the village who are seventy or eighty come and gather beneath that tree. People whose husband or wife has died may fall in love. They say, “When we go to the spirit world, let us go holding hands, the two of us.” Gathering beneath the zelkova tree like that, what do they do every day?
If there is rice cake from a feast day or a sixtieth-birthday day, the grandfather wants to give the rice cake he brought to the grandmother, and the grandmother wants to give the rice cake she brought to the grandfather, and if there are children, they say, “Children of the village, come. We will give you the rice cake left over from what grandfather and grandmother ate—come!”
An orphanage is needed, but a home for the aged is needed too. As for which is more needed, it is the home for the aged. They are grandfathers and grandmothers who have experienced every kind of thing. They show God. “There is an unseen father,” they say, and that unseen father is all-knowing and all-capable in the world.
Why did the Way (도, do) come into being?
It came into being because of me. Because of whom did good and bad come into being? They came into being because of me. Leave me out, and they are all things of no use.
Na-kae-mu-a
When a woman sits, does the left leg go up on this side, or the right leg go up on this side?
Answer! American women do this well, do they not? Korean people do not know this. Korean women, when they sit, sit this way. Must the right foot go inside this way, or must one wrap the left foot and sit this way? The man sits this way, and the woman must sit this way. She must embrace the right foot.
Is the woman's waist thick or slender? Why is it slender? It is to grow large in the future.
When she bears sons and daughters, does the waist grow large, or grow small?
Four times eight is thirty-two (4×8=32)—do you know that when she reaches thirty-two, the woman's body grows round and full? She must bear three or more children. She can bear up to four or five. When she reaches thirty-two, because there are four or more people, because she has fully equipped east, west, south, north, and the center, she is dignified as the master of the family.
Say “na-kae-mu-a!" “Na-kae-mu-a!” Reversed, it is amu-kae-na. Why was the character “perhaps, or” (或) used in the character for “nation” (國)? It means this is wrong. When I write the character for “nation,” I use not the character “king” (王) but the character “jade” (玉). So, you say Namu Amita Bul, do you not? Namu—eliminate the self; ta-bul—after striking it so it disappears, who is it that comes forth?
Between na-kae-mu-a and Namu Amita Bul, which is good? Namu—eliminate the self; ta-bul—strike it and make it disappear. So what is the master of the world that is not? What is not is what is, and what is is what is not. They attach the explanation that way. More than that, Father, one stage ahead, says he will set himself right by na-kae-mu-a.
Eliminating the self and doing what, you say?
Breaking free, they say. What is that? It is haetal (deliverance). In Buddhism, they say that if you do Namu Amita Bul for just a thousand years, you attain Buddhahood—but what about the Unification Church?
Doubtful as it may be, na-kae-mu-a: when you dig out the self and discover that the self is not, God comes and teaches you.
So, between Namu Amita Bul and na-kae-mu-a, which is easier? “Na-kae-mu-a is easier.” For na-kae-mu-a, whether woman or man, no one fails to understand once they hear it just once. When you ask what na-kae-mu-a" is—reversed, it is amu-kae-na. It means: think nothing of it; treat me too as anything-at-all and do not think of me but forget me. Then a new self comes forth, and a master arises, I say.
Is na-kae-mu-a good, or Namu Amita Bul good? “Na-kae-mu-a is good.” What is na-kae-mu-a? In the Unification Church, without God, there is no attainment of Buddhahood. Do you understand? You cannot attain haetal. In Buddhism, they say they will attain haetal without God.
Even in a hundred million years, it does not happen. So, you must come to the Unification Church and learn, I say. Because the Unification Church knows that God exists, if you leave it and watch, you will know, I say. Watch, and watch again, I say.
The God of the Night and the God of the Day
(True Father conducts Hoon Dok Hae on the address titled “The Settlement of the Abel UN and the Completion of Cheon Il Guk Is Korea”; once again, I extend my deep gratitude to all of you who have graced this providential event to make it shine.
I pray that you remain in good health and live a life that receives Heaven's love, so that when we meet again, we may render even greater honor and glory to God. I invoke God's blessing upon you, upon your families, and upon your nations……)
When today's rally ends and I say I am leaving, I am not leaving. It means that, having promised, I will govern, rule, and lead you along together until the promise is fulfilled. It means, let us live together. Is it not the saying that I will save you all to live together? “God and you too, let us live together. And so, thank you.” That was said as the relationship of father and son and daughter that no one can split apart, so that we meet even in death. There is nothing that splits it apart. Do you understand?
Look. You must read this knowing such things. (Hoon Dok Hae continues; the Korean people are a people of heavenly lineage who from of old have revered God as the highest and supreme ancestor among their ancestors and lived accordingly…) It means the people of the God of Heaven. It means the grandchild-nation of God. Until now, since God drove out the son, there have been no grandchildren.
The one God who came seeking the heavenly-lineage people, the God of the night and the God of the day, split in two, body and mind not made one—they have kept the position of such a God, I say. (Hoon Dok Hae continues; the one and only ancestor of all, calling Him the One Being—that is, God, God—and attending Him as their master……)
What is within “master”—we put in, in parentheses, “the Creator of night and day.” The Creator of night and day—that they do not know. They know only “master.”
The master is one. The King of kings and the Parent of parents is only one. Since I say there is only one family, here it cannot be understood. The Creator, becoming night and day, is not an odd number. It speaks of the partner-number.
What is the character “ju” (主) of the master?
It is the character “king” (王) with a dot (`) placed on top. The master there is the God of whom there is only one. (Hoon Dok Hae continues) Having gone to Washington, in a place where more than three thousand distinguished guests, from presidents on down, were gathered, I drove it home as I spoke.
What was the lecture title at that time?
It was “In Search of the Origin of the Universe.” Is the origin of the universe not the concave and the convex? I expounded it well. Did they know the Creator of day and night? They did not.
Did you marry well into Korea, or not?
Whom did you follow here? Did you follow President Moon?
What is the groom's name? Even if the surnames of the forty-three gathered here are all different, they all love President Moon. Why? Because they are daughters. Because they are sons and daughters. A married couple must connect the bloodline and bear sons and daughters who resemble them. When marriage reaches the third generation, since the bloodline is the same, unless they bear sons and daughters, the bloodline disappears.
So I made teaching materials that they can resemble. It is the declaration in which they say they will attend to President Moon as a teacher and attend to him as a father. I educated them. I educated the most famous people. In the spirit world, it is all finished.
Since it is unified now, when I call them and ask them to concentrate on one nation in one place and drive in, what will happen? The loyal subjects of the Unification Church do not die, but I take away the people who oppose.
Since they opposed the way of the loyal subject, what must be done with the path President Moon, who was opposed, is to go, whatever the difficulty? It is to seize their goblin-spawn and set them to work.
The ancestors come down and take away the people who oppose them from among the kin. The people who love it stay alive, and all the rest who do not, I take away entirely. The time has come for me to offer such a prayer. Does it seem Father's prayer will be fulfilled, or not?
The Village School That Rears the Descendants of Later Generations
Today is the seventeenth day of the lunar month, the Sabbath. What was the title of today's Hoon Dok Hae Message? It was “Let Us Become Those Who Know It Is a Gift.” Looking at that, Father's head is no ordinary head.
The point is, how was it possible to leave behind words that could match this time?
The things spoken then all match now. The past I forget. Father will not work again. I do not go seeking. You must remember. You must rear your sons and daughters, I say.
You are Father's sons and daughters. Not only must you recite as Father has taught, but you must teach your sons and daughters, I say.
If you do not do so, those sons and daughters go to hell. Going to hell, in God's sorrowful place, there is a history of difficulty thousands of times greater again for liberation, so the parents come to wish that their sons and daughters be killed. A wretched situation unfolds in which they say, “I cannot bear it either, so kill me and strike the descendants dead too.”
Right from the start, going to the gate of hell, loading them onto a ship drifting mid-air, what must be done?
Having confined them in a wretched hell-realm like a communal cemetery, when they leave, they leave to the far side. Then they can find their place to go. I say I will grant such liberation among liberations.
If you dislike it, then quit, I say. Is your property not stolen from what is God's? I am saying to pay damages and repay principal and interest. (Hoon Dok Hae continues)
The five great saints of the spirit world are saying, “Father, give any command whatsoever! It is absolute obedience.”
On such a system, the spirit world is all being put in order. More than seventy percent is put in order, the spirit world. Now the thirty percent I must put in order. So when I go, I carry out a revolution instantly.
If Father had had a nation, I would already have settled the whole world. I could make the ambassadors in our nation into servants. I could bring the tributary kings of that nation too and make them servants. I could have done work that could bring about several changes within ten years—but what is this? Up to the age of ninety, Father does not have a single scrap of land.
This is not my house. It is a village school, a place of education, that rears the descendants of the Unification Church's later generations. Is Father good or bad? “Good.” Do you long for Father? Do you love him? “We love him.” What do you do about your father, mother, and husband? What do you do about your sons and daughters, and then say you love Father?
Jesus could not marry. Where is his nation, where are his grandchildren, where are his people? There are none. You must cut the satanic world and graft it.
Do you know that if you cut a wild rose and graft a rose onto it, it becomes a rose?
You harvest not the seed of the wild rose but the seed of the rose. It is a great revolution. If you leave the root of the wild rose and graft a rose onto it, what bears fruit is not the seed of the wild rose but the seed of the rose, I say.
In the master's position, the position of kingly authority, which can be changed 180 degrees that way, the wild rose blooms. From the position of that ancestor's ancestor, it holds the root, and even if you cut the stem of the main root and take a cutting, it lives without fail. Since you have come to know such a thing, there is no need even to speak of forming an ideal family.
The formless God, the formless God's wife, the substantial God, the substantial God's wife, True Parents, and True Parents' wife—combined, they are six. Thereafter, True Parents' sons and daughters. Then they are eight. It is God's three-generational realm. Centering on the three-generational realm, up to True Parents' sons and daughters, it is eight ridges. Unless you cross those eight ridges, you have no family of your own.
If you knew that and could not go, how would you cross over to the other world? If you go without knowing it, you go to the very bottom of hell.
So, having made a bridge, the era has come before us when, centering on stages one, two, three, on through stages seven and eight, what would take thousands of years can all be paid in indemnity within a few years, within a few weeks.
The First-Rank Princess and Prince of the Museum of the Heavenly Nation
If, receiving the fire, you see what was unseen and hear what was unheard, and go forth to a place where you can speak in tongues, what will become of the whole universe? What would it be like if there were a friend a thousand years ahead?
Crossing over a thousand years, you call a friend. “Hey, how far are you from where I am?” you ask, and the satanic world of this world is tens of millions of li. Going by airplane, it takes even several weeks. You are speaking with a friend from such a far distance.
How does the human being come to be one who can digest such an ever-changing environment all at once?
Father went about seeking the way to digest a thousand times, a hundred times more than that. So there is nothing Father cannot do. I am not in anyone's debt. Rather, anyone ought to be in Father's debt.
When about two years and eight months pass, it becomes D-day. Within eighty days, within eight weeks, you can cross over. In contrition, you must shed everything—tears, snot, the water of the mouth, and even the pus from water that has entered the eardrum.
The tears and the snot are entangled together. When you sniff the snot with a “hm,” it catches here. And then when you go “mm,” what was caught flows out as water from the eye. Try it.
Block the nose and blow. There is a “jjik” sound, is there not? It all connects. How far does it go? From the breathing hole, the large intestine, the lung, the heart, and the artery and vein that give and receive are connected into one. There is a thing called the pulse vessel (맥, maek), is there not?
The maek is what connects. In Las Vegas, I performed the rite of rebirth, the rite of resurrection, and the rite of seunghwa (ascension).
Did Jesus perform the rite of rebirth, or not? “He did not.”
If he had had a family and a tribe, he would have become an ancestor, but he could not.
Jesus had no family. Did he have a wife? He had no younger sister either. How could he have married? Who could have become the bride? Were you not an elder of a Christian church? “Yes.” These days, you come eagerly and listen to the Message with shining eyes, but before President Moon, a shameful feeling arises. “Why did I do that?” you say, do you not? You repent so. Even going to the other world, you repent. There is no way to escape it.
Yet if you hear rightly, you repent, and it is cleared. It becomes a blank page, I say. On such a blank page, whether a Kim or a Park, it is inscribed as the master writes. You enter the Kingdom of Heaven according to your surname. You must change the surname up to three times. In the Old Testament Age, the New Testament Age, the Completed Testament Age, and the era of the Fourth Adam's realm, the three nations must become one and receive the Blessing.
Even receiving the Blessing at that time, being a people of eight nations, a fourth of the twelve tribes—what is it?
In the realm of the twelve tribes, dividing east, west, south, and north by three months each and going, unless you form in-law ties to connect the three nations, you cannot marry Father's sons and daughters.
Now I have given the people all there is to give and done for them all there is to do. What becomes of being able to die having received the blessing?
If you save the couple who were lying on the deathbed and were going to die and rear their sons and daughters as princes and princesses, what will happen?
You can boast that they became the first-rank princess and prince of the museum of the heavenly nation. Because you can boast to the satanic world or to Heaven, the people of the heavenly world come seeking, and the people of the hell world come seeking too, so it does not become a place of strife.
Toward the younger sibling too, the elder brother says, “I am the elder brother, but in my place you go to that high position!” He does not complain. He does not, as in the world, say, “Why set that fellow up without any merit?”
Even if you set up a descendant of the hundredth generation as an ancestor, it is the same. For the fulfillment of the wish to cross over the foundation of the bitter sorrow (원한, wonhan) of Cain and Abel, even if you do that not with a descendant of the hundredth generation but of the thousandth, one can be grateful.
