Matthew 19:28-30

The Absolute Being and I, Seen Through Motive and Result

Here, many people are gathered and seated, but any being whatever, without fail, has a motive by which it came into being. There can be no being of reality that departs from the content of that motive.

In other words, we cannot deny the fact that we, who are beings of result, are without fail directly connected to a motive. Even looking at yourselves, one can vividly observe from your appearance what your parents’ appearance must be like and from your build what your parents’ build must be like.

Just as it is with us as individuals, because this world of result is a wretched world of result, this world that becomes the cause cannot but likewise be wretched.

We know that this world of ours now cannot be the place of peace we picture and cannot be a base of happiness. When we acknowledge that this is a world of results, there will without fail be a motive here. Because there can be no result apart from some motive and starting base, it means that that motive too will without fail have held such wretched content. This is a simple matter that can be thought out even by common sense.

From this viewpoint, whether we look at ourselves, or look at the family, or look at the world, it is an unmistakable fact that this result is wrong. Therefore, it goes without saying that the departure of our human ancestors was not a departure that could sing of happiness and could not be a departure as central beings who, immersed in the ideal, could make all things picture a posture of glory. So the conclusion emerges that we cannot but pursue the fallen ancestors of humankind spoken of in religion.

If we thus pursue upward the motive that can become the root of humankind, there will be the ancestors of humankind. Speaking centering on the Bible, there will be Adam and Eve. But because Adam and Eve too are beings of result, one must go back up beyond them. Doing so, one will be able to acknowledge the existence of an Absolute Being.

The human being is equipped with the whole realm of dominion over all things.

Even looking at the workings of your mind, or at your organs of consciousness, the human being is made subtly. We come to know that we human beings are subject beings who, if we develop the ability to observe in one direction, can observe even to the end of the world.

The God who made such human beings is not a God who can be reached within the sphere of our thought. He is such a being as cannot be investigated by our thought and for whom no standard can be set. Therefore, if one pursues Him, the concept of an Absolute Being comes forth automatically. Even when we look at the content of the creation of heaven and earth, if we acknowledge that we were created, it means there is also a Creator.

Then, if the ancestors of humankind became the motive that could produce such a result as we have today, what kind of being would God be, who could become the origin of those ancestors of humankind? Could the One who made this world, which is incomplete as it is today and holds requisites that must be pioneered and must be corrected, indeed be the Absolute Being? He could not be.

When we look at the structure of our human body, this is a kingdom of mystery. It means it is composed of mystery itself more than any other being. If there is an Absolute Being who connected all such elements of mystery and made one living being called the human being, He is undoubtedly the protagonist of infinite ability.

Then, though He is the source of all existence, could He go wrong?

If He could go wrong, then in the human world there could be no such things as the ideal or happiness or hope or peace. Such things are no more than a dream. If it began with something that could go wrong, and that became the result and ended with that, the conclusion that there is no Heaven emerges automatically.

But the tendency of our human mind is to pursue a perfect origin beyond an imperfect origin. This is the fact that it is leaping within our human minds until now, crossing over the environments of history and crossing over the fierce waves of the ages. When we see the fact that such a stimulus of power and source of power remains, that original ground, which can be the subject of that power, or that substance, or that causal being, cannot but be an absolute being. Through such a direction of the mind, human beings always come to pursue what is new, what is always ideal, what is always peaceful and happy.

How did it come about that we thus come to pursue content of another result? It is because, although the origin of such a motive has not formed a direct relationship with us human beings today and has not formed a relationship in our living environment or in the worldwide environment, it has formed a relationship in the deep valleys of our minds. You must know the fact that this raised a stimulus and developed a new historical age and a new cultural age.

The Matrix of the Power That Impels the Human Mind

Therefore, the world we must pursue hereafter is one world. That world and that humankind must become a world beyond the present world and a humankind beyond present humankind. The one people that forms that world must become a people beyond the one people formed by the gathering of the countless peoples that have existed until now.

So there must come forth one sovereignty that can stand in place of countless sovereignties, a sovereignty beyond the countless sovereignties that appeared in the course of history. There must come forth a citizenry that can love the world with a mind of love beyond that with which countless citizens loved their nations. Human beings are pursuing such things.

Thus the content of the motive that can be so is being presented even today as a stimulating motive that has not yet disappeared from the ground of our minds and that makes us face tomorrow. Then where has such a fact come to be grounded? It means there is a matrix that makes it possible.

All of you, power without fail, comes out where subject and object give and receive. Every stimulating sensation you feel too cannot be felt by you alone. It can be felt without fail through the requisite of an object. It means one comes to feel it by the working of the power of the object. Working is precisely power, and what is called power cannot arise without subject and object.

From where does the working of our human conscience come, that is, all such working of power by which one is urged on for tomorrow’s hope and makes tomorrow a stage of hope and comes to pursue a character of ever greater value? It comes without fail from a place where there is a relationship of subject and object.

Otherwise, such working of power does not arise. It is so even when we look at chemical action. Unless the elements of subject and object are each prepared, it absolutely does not act. It means it does not act where there is loss. It absolutely does not perform an action that brings loss.

When you came seeking this place of the Unification Church too, if we ask whether you came to suffer loss, it will absolutely not be so. You will have come seeking something that could become a plus for yourself, having formed some relationship of subject and object. Even looking at the action of physics or chemistry, it means there can be nothing that acts to suffer loss.

Seen thus, it means every being is made to perform an action of pursuing a position that can be an addition to itself, that holds ever more precious value, that can shine all the more; it does not perform an action for the sake of its loss.

When you now say you are going to Myeong-dong, is there anyone who would say, “Today I am going to Myeong-dong to lose a few tens of won”? There will not be. The purpose that every being pursues is, without fail, to set out seeking requisites that can be a plus there, centering on a relationship of subject and object.

It is the same with the working of the minds of all human beings. Since the actual state of this world in which we are living is such, that which works in the world of the human mind too without fail has a subject. Though one does not know what that subject is, it means there is one. It means that for that power to act, it cannot do so alone. That is why, even within my one individual self, subject and object give and receive. When subject and object give and receive, there is joy there. And happiness comes, and love sprouts, and hope sprouts.

From this viewpoint, if we pursue the working of our mind, there will without fail be a being there that becomes the substance of the mind. Because my resultant self cannot exist transcending an originating being, we cannot but acknowledge one complete plus-form that can be the source of all existence. Then what kind of being is that being? The name of that being is of no consequence. But that being is an absolute subject, a supreme being whom no one can match, a central being who allows no reciprocal requisite.

God’s Purpose in Creating Heaven and Earth

Your mind is pursuing that tomorrow be better and happier than today. This means pursuing an ever more precious result and pursuing content of ever more precious value. Then what is the end of that pursuit? Will it be a world of fighting? It means it is not.

What kind of consummation of this world does the Absolute Being who created this heaven and earth, that absolute protagonist, require? He requires one sovereign nation, a humankind of the world that can hold one national character, one garden, such a world that can become the foundation of one sovereignty, such a globe. That is why, although countless people until now have been divided among themselves and fought centering on countless nations, in the end they come to develop toward one world.

In developing, one cannot do it alone. Therefore, in unfolding a new ideal world hereafter, human beings cannot do it alone either. It means that a reciprocal being cannot do it by itself. Only by adding here the relationship of the motive of the subject can it be done. Though human beings themselves do not know it, one must clearly know the fact that in this going forth toward one world now, the power of the subject is added. When one knows what the value of that added subject is, and then comes to know what the value of that object is, the human being at last comes to know what the harvested fruit is. Then from there the value of the human being will appear.

If there is an Absolute Being, did that Absolute Being create all things of heaven and earth with a sorrowful mind? No. It means He created with a joyful mind. God, the Absolute Being, would have rejoiced while watching the process of creation unfold.

Then how greatly would He have rejoiced?

How greatly would He have delighted? And with how great a value would He have made everything? Human beings until now have not known the content of such value as God endorsed. It cannot be otherwise, for human beings until now are in the process of seeking God; they cannot investigate that value and cannot define that value.

So if God made the human being with true joy, how great a content of value did He bestow upon that human being, and how great an object of joy did He make him? This is the question.

What kind of being did God seek to make us human beings?

When we look at the workings of our human mind, the mind of anyone at all pursues the supreme value. It means everyone seeks to become the foremost being in the world. However ill-favored a woman may be, they all want to become the foremost wife in the world. Is it so, or is it not? It means it is so. Anyone who says it is not so is entirely a fake. It is the same with men. One’s own appearance cannot be helped, but it means that in the mind at least everyone wants to be first in the world.

Then is that wanting to become so a lie? It is a fact. Then from where did it come? It means there is a ground. Then did that ground come into being to deceive us human beings? It means it did not. It is legitimate.

So when human beings hereafter appear as the fruit of the harvest, what will that figure be like? If we conclude a single word, it is the original figure in which God can rejoice at the sight. Speaking in terms of the Principle of the Unification Church, it is the figure restored to the world of the ideal of creation.

Then, since God made Adam and Eve to rejoice, in what position did He seek to place them and rejoice? This cannot but be the question. Did He make them play with them like some object? Our human mind desires the highest.

When we look at such a human original nature, which pursues the supreme value, in what position indeed must one place a human being for him to be satisfied? If there is an Absolute Being, one must place him in the most precious position of that Absolute Being. There can be no position above that. This is a position God desires and, at the same time, a position the human being desires. There are not two there. Cause and result become one body in that position.

Then what kind of position would that position be?

Is it a position where there is money? It means it is not. That a person is more precious than money is generally known by all. Amid this, religion speaks of love, however vaguely. It says, “God is love, is love.” Then what kind of love is that love? Today they cry out globalism and cry out philanthropy, and one may say, “Ah, is that not love too?” but such things are far too paltry a love.

But just as when plus electricity and minus electricity collide, an electric light comes on, just as lightning flashes; there will be such a position where love can explode. Where would such a position be? Since God, too, to rejoice, goes up seeking the supreme position, what position must we human beings go seeking? Is it the position of a citizen of the heavenly kingdom? It means that becoming God’s citizen and living as a citizen of the heavenly kingdom is trivial.

When we look at the view of faith of Christian believers today, it is a simple thing: to go to heaven is best, so let us believe in Jesus and go to heaven. But in going to heaven, there will be all sorts of things. Even looking at the Republic of Korea, are there not all sorts of things?

The substance of love that Heaven goes seeking, this which can be the supreme motive and the supreme result, at what point will it come into accord? They ought to be joined, but in what position will they be joined? They become one precisely in the position of subject and object. For that, the two purposes of subject and object must coincide. If there is a plus and a minus here, these two purposes must coincide.

The Position of Recovering the Relationship of Parent and Child

Then what is that position where the two purposes can eternally coincide and can bloom as a flower of love?

God too has come seeking that through human beings. Because, compared to a tree, this corresponds to the fruit; leaves and branches and trunk are all unnecessary. Then through what can that one fruit, that one harvest, be completely gathered? What is it? Members of the Unification Church will know well. What is it? Think about it once.

It is so even when we consider your eyes. Right now your eyes do not feel pain, do they? That is because the focus is right. But what if this focus goes astray? One comes to feel pain, does one not? And what about your nose when one side is blocked? What is it like at the beginning of a cold? Pain comes. Even if only one side is blocked, one wheezes. So it means that if in the relationship of subject and object one does not reach a point of coincidence in a common purpose, suffocation occurs there.

Then what must be done for there to be a common motive and result for God and the human being, and where would such a position be? Pursuing such things and searching for the supreme term means there is nothing but the words the relationship of parent and child (부자관계 父子關係). There is no word apart from the relationship of parent and child. Is there a word above that?

If you ask children, “Whom among the family do you like best?” they say, “My mama and papa.” Would there be anything more than that? That is why religious people who pursue Heaven call God Father, and it means that religious people who thus pursue Heaven with religion must without fail become one.

God made Adam and Eve as a relationship of subject and object, and in making them, He made them center on love. Then where is the point of union, the point of coincidence, in which He made them centering on love? Motive and result must without fail be moved by one pulse. Is that not so? The heart must make the pulse beat regularly. If the pulse is not even, it is wrong. It is a sign of illness.

It is so with your mind and body as well. When the mind says “Snap!” centering on the body, what does the body do? It means it steps forth opposing the mind, saying, “You scoundrel!” This is the Fall. So it means one must remodel it. When the mind says “Snap!”, the body too must say “Snap!”; when the mind says “Click!”, the body too must say “Click!”; when the mind says, “Let us go this way,” the body must say, “Yes,” and follow. But this body and mind, which ought to be so, are now in two camps fighting. Is this well done or badly done? It is badly done. It is a sign of ruin. It is the retribution of the Fall; because the relationship of mind and body went wrong in this way, the whole went wrong.

Then what is it that God the Father has been seeking until now in this fallen human world? What must He find? What is it He wishes to find? What is it? “Children.” Children; but in the word children, too, there are various kinds, are there not? There are one’s own children, stepchildren, and other people’s children. It is the same with Father. There is a stepfather, another’s father, and one’s own father.

But have the parents of this world until now become parents holding a true name? Have the children become fellows holding a true name? It means they have not. If they had become true sons and daughters, God would have been truly pleased. If one becomes a true son or daughter, body and mind become completely one.

When you first entered the Unification Church, you would have had experiences like the body floating up. You had such experiences, did you not? One feels good for no reason. It means one feels good without cause. Do you know why that is? It is because a foundation was made on which your mind and body could give and receive with each other. Seen by our Principle, when subject and object become one, God, who is the greater subject, makes them His object and gives and receives. Because there is such a high-level working of power, an emotional and sensory working that one did not feel before comes powerfully. Because the power of that strong working is ideal, a feeling of joy comes. It is not something merely vague. It is entirely principled. It is principled.

Let Us Restore the Ideal of Creation

Seen thus, do you yourselves have a signboard by which you can be called God’s sons and daughters?

It means, have you become the result itself that can completely attest to the content of the motive, holding the conviction that it is so? Because you have not become so, you are another’s children. You are Satan’s children. Because you have not become so, it means your bloodline is different. It means you were born wrongly. You were born wrongly. You are selves who cannot stand before God.

When we look at such individuals, we cannot but be selves toward whom God feels sorrow. That is why this must be restored to its original state, and in restoring, there are various conditions. Because restoration does not come about without knowing what those conditions are and establishing them, you fellows have been caught and drawn into the Unification Church. After coming to know, there is nowhere else to go.

Now then, for what did God create heaven and earth?

To play? Or as an object of some amusement? No. It means He created gazing upon one fruit that could be harvested. So it means He made the human ancestors Adam and Eve as the supreme result God Himself desired, as the supreme fruit. But did Adam and Eve indeed become a fruit that could be in accord with God’s original mind? It means they did not. That is precisely the Fall.

Do you yourselves today have the possibility of bearing such fruit, or not? When you say you do, you can become sons and daughters of hope, but when you say you do not, you become sons and daughters of despair.

Then why could God not plant joy in this human world?

Though He pursued the fruit of a harvest, why could He not plant a perfect fruit that could be harvested as a complete and unchanging substance? From this viewpoint we can know that Adam and Eve died before becoming a complete fruit.

If Adam and Eve had unfolded God’s ideal a hundred percent and had become selves who could appear as the final fruit and could emerge as the matrix of life, they would have become objects in whom God could rejoice, standing in place of this earth and in place of humankind. They would have become one signpost that could assert, “All heaven and earth, model yourselves upon my happiness and follow my joy.”

Until now, there have been many historical isms and ideas that human beings assert as requisites of happiness. But nothing has appeared as a complete fruit centered on the ancestors of humankind.

If Adam and Eve had become such as could boast of being happiness among happiness and value among all values, that world would have set out with happiness. That world would have become a world that need not cross a pass of hope. But in the present world, where is God’s love, the ideal, the wish, and where is the origin of happiness? Because human beings fell, they lost those things. That is why we would reproduce and restore what was lost. That is, let us restore the ideal of creation.

When we look at the great undertaking of the creation of heaven and earth, God sought to pluck an Adam who had been formed as a complete fruit and plant him again, but He could not do so. It means He sought to harvest Adam as a fruit into which the driving force of God’s love had been infused but could not harvest him.

If God had planted such a fruit, sons and daughters like that would have been born. Is that not so? Where beans are planted, beans come up, and where red beans are planted, red beans come up. Even if one tells them not to come up, they come up. However much the direction of history may be pushed upward, it means there is no one who can take possession of this essence and original nature and break it apart. Here it has become a foundation that allows no revolution.

Wrong Love Must Be Set Right with Love

What does it mean that revolution can be allowed today?

It means we are in a process of pursuing the original world again. In such a process, if only some condition that can be better is presented, the old can retreat, and the new can appear. So it looks as if history passes through stages of a phenomenon of development. This is unavoidable in the process of the Providence of Restoration.

Seen thus, it becomes that God planted the fruit wrongly upon this earth. It means that the person God planted, centering on the ideal of creation, was planted wrongly. Then one may say, “He is God, so why did He do that? What is there for a human being to revere in such a God?”; but there the question arises, “Who made it so? Who made it be planted wrongly? Who is the enemy of God who made it so?” Let us leave such talk aside; in any case, it means the human being was planted wrongly. He was not planted as an ideal existing substance in which cause and result could coincide; the cause was holy, but the result was planted as a fruit that could not escape a destiny of lamentation and sorrow. It is a fruit of lamentation, a fruit of lamentation.

Then what must be done about this?

Here one must raise a cosmic revolution and recreate. The human being is less than a lump of earth. He is less than the earth and water and air, that very substance, at the time when Adam and Eve were made. So one must make him again. It means one must dissect ruthlessly and burn ruthlessly. For that, one must raise a change of the body from a change of the mind, and make a transformation of living occur.

That is why a true religion comes forth holding a subject force of revolution. It means that rather than being swept along in the current of that society, it appears as a subject force that can confront that society and revolutionize it. That is why Jesus too said, “I will come again,” and departed. It means that he will come again and judge. What kind of judgment is that judgment? It is to strike what is wrong. It means he appears with such subject authority. That is a possible statement.

What ought to have been planted was planted wrongly, and God could not intervene in that. Then through whom was it planted wrongly? It was planted wrongly through Satan. So in that good soil, tares and barnyard grass (피) were planted. Rice that could yield grain ought to have been planted, but it means tares and barnyard grass were planted. Then what shall be done about this? One must pull them out. Since this false thing is now taking root and stirring in the world, it means all this must be pulled out.

Therefore, you must become princes of revolution in such a world. Receiving Heaven’s call again, you must become sons and daughters who stand in place of Heaven’s Will before Heaven’s original standard.

If God is the sovereign who is the great ruler of heaven and earth, then at that time you become His princes and princesses. Would it not be so?

If He owns heaven and earth, is He not the king of kings?

So if one becomes His son or daughter, one becomes a prince and a princess. Even though one is formed like this, one becomes a prince. Here, this one is handsome. It means that if one only makes it in, one can become a princess. Because there is a road by which one can become so, human beings, without knowing it themselves, come groping in the dark along that road. It means the mind is urging one to appear in a place that can shine all the more, as a worldwide being of ever greater value.

Now then, does it seem it will simply flow on as it was wrongly planted?

Does it seem it will simply flow on as it is? It must be torn apart and remade. That is why Jesus too said, “Do you think that I have come to give peace to the world? It is not so; I have come to give a sword. For I have come to set a man at variance against his father and mother, and a daughter, and a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law; and a man’s foes shall be those of his household.” Because one seeks to tread upon and rise above the whole emotional side of the satanic world and carry out a revolution, a confrontation unfolds from what is nearest. What is nearest becomes the problem. It means father and mother, wife and children, are the problem.

Then in planting, centering on what did He plant?

Centering on what did He set out? It means that rather than planting centering on love, love was denied. If some young man is loving a village maiden one-sidedly, and out of nowhere another young man appears and comes to love that maiden, the young man who loved one-sidedly is denied, is he not? It means he is denied without recourse.

Even without bringing forward the Principle of the Unification Church that they fell through lewdness, if one pursues such facts, the answer to that question comes out automatically. What is the only thing that can wreck the relationship of love of a subject? It means there is nothing but love.

Now Is the Harvest Period of Six Thousand Years of History

Therefore, the human being should not depart from love in which God could delight but a departure of love in which Satan could delight. It means it was not a departure of love that the father and mother liked but a departure of love that the servant fellow liked. This is the Fall. The father and mother raised that word carefully, seeking to make her the queen of that nation, but before she had fully grown, she was paired with a farmhand. Then what happens? Is the future queen dragged off by the farmhand, or not? Women here, answer. “She is dragged off.” She is certainly dragged off. If she had completely held the farmhand in check, if she had become completely one with God, the word dragged off would not have been established.

Then how did you come into being?

Through what did you come into being? You came into being through a bloodline. In this way, six thousand years have passed. Countless ancestors until now, no different from us today, disappeared without being able to get out of such a destiny of lamentation. They planted and harvested such fruit and planted and harvested again. Thus, they became countless nations and countless humankind. So there cannot be happiness in the human world.

To pioneer such a road of destiny centering on myself is my life today. The “I” here is precisely the body. The human being has two worlds: mind and body. Because the mind still holds elements of eternity and because it can be the ground of God’s original nature, it pursues a good world. Just as an iron object is drawn to a magnet, the mind is drawn to God, the absolute subject. But this body, which received the enemy’s bloodline and formed a relationship of lineage with him, keeps trying to go elsewhere.

Groaning between these two is the figure of the human being. And how to pass through this valley is the problem of life. Countless saints and wise men of history too died without breaking open this pass. It means that life is being born on this battlefield, in the midst of that fight in which the world drags the body and another world drags the mind, and eating and sleeping and living and dying without ending this fight.

Then how shall this fight be settled?

Here the right side is Heaven’s side, and the left side is Satan’s side. And a person who lives centering on the body goes the road of death, so he is one paired with Satan; and a person who lives centering on the mind goes the road of life, so he is one paired with Heaven. Because humankind was born holding these elements of a fight that would divide into two forks, when the Last Days draw near, a fight breaks out in which these two collide. That is why the fight between these two worlds, democratic and communist, is now sweeping over us. Since the result of what was wrongly planted has borne fruit in a worldwide field, could it be more than that? In other words, now is the harvest period of six thousand years of history of fallen human beings. Because sin was planted like that at that time, it is reaped just so.

Then where shall one go from here?

It means there is nowhere to go, however one would go. And yet young people sit about like this. People like me regard even a ticking moment as busy because there is no time, but when I go out in the morning, they are sitting like this, and when I return at three in the afternoon, they are still sitting there holding out. There has to be somewhere to go; since going only makes it worse and more complicated, it means it is better to be simple.

You, too, may run into such a destiny in the not-so-distant future. Look at the people who boast of being fine in the world, the so-called intellectual class. Even in a nation like Japan, is there not the incident of a university professor committing suicide? Because the communists are now running riot and there is no way at all to gather that nation and people, he chose that road, saying it was better to die. It means there is no way to gather it up.

How shall we break open and cross over such an end-of-the-century phenomenon? There is no footing by which one can climb over. It means there is no such road. Now we do not need democracy either. We do not need communism either. It means that only the idealism the mind desires is necessary. What one calls an “ism” or a thought is a gateway one must pass through, or something that plays the role of a walking stick, to go seeking that; the “ism” or thought itself is not the truth. An ism or a thought is a walking stick and a bridge for introducing the truth. One must cross that bridge.

Then, having crossed the bridge, what does one do?

One must find a self centered on God’s eternal love and become a core of infinite value that cannot be exchanged even for a nation, even for the world, even for this heaven and earth.

If one can live there singing of happiness, that person becomes the supreme fruit who has built the supreme altar of happiness as a human being. In other words, it means one is the supreme fruit in harvesting the whole of history.

Who Is the Owner of This World?

Now, seen worldwide, America too is blocking the road the world must go, centering on democracy. The Soviet Union too is blocking the road the world must go, centering on communism. So what is the problem here? The world is not the problem; you yourselves are the problem.

Because this world became so through a contradiction of the motive, the point of resolution of this problem lies not in the result but in the motive. That is why the question is what became of the starting base of the ancestors of humankind. Where did they set out? It means they took the wrong road from the beginning. Then why did such a thing unfold from the very beginning? It means that to resolve such a question, the Unification Church of today is necessary.

The fruit borne from being so wrongly planted is now spread over this earth. Then who indeed is the owner of such a world? Is it God? Is the owner of this world God? Who is it? Is it you? Those who ought to become the owners are people, but now people have not become the owners. All of you, have you become owners? Are you the owner of the world? Are you the owner of the Republic of Korea? Because the people of this world have not even become servants, all the more they have not become owners. Have you seen anyone who asserts, “This world is my world”? It means there is nothing whatsoever on which to assert it.

Yet the mind is seeking to come into contact with that world. Though the people living in this fallen world cannot step forth asserting so, in their minds they always seek to become the representative of the world. It means the mind seeks to try doing something by which one could say, “It is my world.” It means the problem lies here.

Then who owns this fallen world?

Are human beings the true owners just because they were born into this world and are living? Having come to know this, it means the human being has not even become a servant. That is why the Unification Church calls fallen human beings the servant of a servant. All of you, can you play the owner? If one cannot do so, it means the problem is great. It means there is nothing by which to assert that one is the owner. It means one has not held the fundamental by which one could call this world one’s own.

To hold the fundamental by which one can assert so, one must be born together with God. It means one cannot but be born as a fruit of love through the relationship of the lineal bloodline of God, who is the owner. That is why you have not even become servants. A servant holds an owner he can serve, but because you have not held even such an owner, it means you are the servant of a servant. Seen thus, the Principle of the Unification Church is truly apt. Because the human being is the servant of a servant, one must be restored from being the servant of a servant. One is not yet a child of a person. One was not born with a bloodline by which one can enter the sphere of Heaven’s tribe. It means one is the servant of a servant. Such a crowd, of whom one does not know where they have knocked about.

Though the human being lives in this world, he has not become its owner. It means that from a position of having been born as the fruit of the seed sown in the satanic world, he cannot even govern this satanic world as he pleases. Are there not sovereigns, you say? By no means. Is that sovereignty eternally one’s own? It means it is not. Then who is the one who can eternally be the owner of this world? Some politician of the world? No. Such people are all people who are playing at being servants. They are like people who plunder what belongs to others and pile it up as their own and are pleased. Because they wrongly meddled with what belongs to another, they will go to that world and receive punishment corresponding to that price.

Now, at such a present point, what will you do? You are fruit. You are the harvest. Though one does not know what kind of fruit, fruit is fruit. Now what will you do? You women here, will you not even be married, but live alone and grow old and die? And you men too, will you not marry, but live alone and grow old and die?

If one lives so and dies, that would be the end of it; but then one must plant this dreary thing again. It means one must plant a bundle of rags again.

If one plants beans, beans come up; if one plants red beans, red beans come up; if one plants barley, barley comes up, does it not? If one plants fallen human beings like you, what does it seem will come out? What does it seem will come out, I say? “Fallen human beings come out.” What else could come out but fallen human beings?

That is why we carry on a movement of grafting. Because the human beings of this earth are wild olive trees, the Son of Heaven must come as a true olive tree and carry on a movement of grafting. Without receiving grafting here, there is no road to live.

Jesus too said, “You are wild olive trees, and I am the true olive tree.”

If in a field of wild olive trees there is but one true olive tree, one can make all the wild olive trees of that field into true olive trees. One need only receive grafting. Do you understand? Then what must one do to receive grafting?

One must deny one’s own lineage. To deny the lineage is to deny the relationship of love with which one was born, and since it is to deny that relationship of love, it becomes a denial even of all the standards of human ethics and morality of the fallen world.

The Greatest Purpose of Religion

That is why true religion has come, denying everything completely. Is it not truly appalling? What is true religion, you say? “It is a world of complete denial.” Then have you denied? Have you, or have you not? Can there be denial while one carries this bundle on one’s back and wears it at one’s side and holds it in one’s arms and goes about? Now then, those who wish to receive grafting, raise your hands. Since everyone will raise them, put them down. The grandmother seems to be trying to raise hers first.

Then what happens if one receives grafting?

To receive grafting, must one cut off the neck? No. It is to change everything of the feelings and thoughts I have held until now for a new thought, a new view of life, a new view of the universe. What is the content by which one can do so? It is a view of the family centered on the relationship of parent and child. It means a view of the family. It is nothing else.

When we look at such content, though the person called Teacher Moon of the Unification Church has done nothing else, and however much he is criticized, I consider that he did one thing well. It is that he discovered the point of resolution of the Cosmos centering on the family. This is Cosmos-ism. One who does not hold this cannot form a heavenly family, cannot form a heavenly tribe, cannot form a heavenly nation, and cannot form a heavenly world. Only by forming the relationship of parent and child centered on God’s love can one form them.

Then what kind of figure would the Adam be that God the Father originally wished to plant? We must know this. Adam was planted as something God did not wish to plant. So God lamented; then what kind of figure was the Adam God wished to plant? It is an Adam of a parent-child relationship who is one body with God. It was an Adam who had formed a relationship in which father and son could be completely one body, with no boundary line.

Then how shall such a relationship be unfolded again in this human world today, in this sphere of living of the satanic world? This question cannot but be the greatest purpose of religion. On the day this is presented, God’s han too is resolved, and the human being’s wish too is accomplished, and all the problems of history too will be resolved. The point of resolution of the problem does not lie in another world. In other words, it means the point of resolution lies not in the world of result but in the world of the origin. That is why what the mind of a person of several thousand years ago and the mind of a person today alike long for? It means they go pursuing a world of happiness of the mind. At the same time as pursuing a world of happiness of the mind, they go pursuing an ideal partner of the mind, an ideal family of the mind, an ideal world of the mind.

From such a position, what must our Unification Church do today?

What must be done for unification to come about? One need only present the possibility that the ideal world the mind pictures can be realized. It is not the unification of the Unification Church but the unification of the world. The question here is what I shall plant in planting. Furthermore, one must have become a complete fruit that can be planted again, and one must enter the position of planting oneself. You yourselves must become sons and daughters of God, centering on Him who is the subject of love. The sons and daughters of God are the true seed.

Who is the one who must first become a son or daughter of God?

It is the human ancestors. The human ancestors are the parents of humankind. What has been inherited from those parents on a plain level is the countless families of today. Then who owns this world? At the same time as it is Adam and Eve, it is also we human beings who received the plain inheritance. One cannot become an owner alone. One must be husband and wife. The owners are husband and wife. That is why in Christianity too they come seeking bridegroom and bride. It cannot be helped. One must come seeking bridegroom and bride. What that is is becoming sons and daughters of God who can be in accord with this standard. Now that you have come to know such things, you must become one with God.

God’s Providence to Find Fallen Human Beings as Sons and Daughters

In what position must God have been, who has come seeking fallen human beings until now? Would He have been a joyful God? Would He have been a sorrowful God?

He was a sorrowful God. God sought to make human beings into His own sons and daughters. But the human beings fell and became Satan’s sons and daughters. So restoring this has taken as much as six thousand years. He is an unspeakably sorrowful God. Proportionally, the height of the ideal at the time of creation, He felt the blow caused by the Fall of the human being. That conflict always made Him feel pain. How can one dissolve about God, who is placed amid such heavy pain and sorrow? That cannot be done without holding circumstances that can again unbind all the content of Adam and Eve’s unfilial conduct and betrayal before God.

That is why in our Unification Church we say to find a restored Adam family centering on Cain, Abel, and Seth. You sons and daughters of faith, you children of faith, must be able to cast away your parents and follow me. There have been many people who died for their parents and died for their brothers and sisters, but the question is whether there are today sons and daughters who can offer their lives before the road of truly going seeking God.

When we look at Jesus, Peter, James, and John too fled from the place of death (사지 死地). Even looking at the relationship of parent and child in the fallen world, when parents are placed in a position of dying, the children seek to die in their stead. Even in this world that must perish, it is so; then how were Peter, James, and John before Jesus, who came seeking to form the relationship of parent and child of Heaven that could remain eternally? Did they step forth into a position of being able to die first, before Jesus died? It means they could not. They fled.

It is the same with Teacher Moon of the Unification Church today. If, centering on God’s Will, he had retreated at once when there was a scene at which God could be sorrowful and had appeared squarely in a position where I could profit, it means he could not have become Teacher Moon of the Unification Church today. Here one must be foolish. One must be without private interest (사리 私利). Otherwise, if one thinks only of the work itself, one cannot endure. Can you do that?

Though you who have come following the Unification Church speak of the relationship of True Parents, of a new heavenly family, of the Blessing, that Blessing is not within the line of death. The Blessing does not unfold within the realm of indemnity, below the line of death. It is the sphere of not having fallen in the Garden of Eden. This is the Blessing.

Then when did you cross the line of death?

Jesus said, “Abba Father, if it be possible, let this cup be removed from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as the Father wills.”

It means he said he would cross over the pass of the cross. You, too, must, in such a position, kill your old self and find a self that can be resurrected through a new relationship centered on God. And thus, when one comes to see a departure of hope holding leading authority in a new heaven and earth, one can see there a departure of a new life.

From this viewpoint, we would become the owner of the fruit, the owner of the harvest. God has been sowing for six thousand years until now. Though one does not know what, He has been sowing. And through Christianity, He scattered the blood of countless people and came seeking the fruit of that harvest. Yet God could not become the owner of that fruit.

Then was there one perfect seed centered on subject consciousness?

Was there a seed of which God could select again and say, “This alone is a perfect seed, so centering on this I will establish a new lineage of humankind and found a new world”? Who is the person who became such a seed? It means there was none. So it means you must become those who can be so. Have you become such people? You have not.

Then, in God’s coming seeking this earth, it is certain that He will prepare such a seed and send it to this earth. To send it, one must first prepare a field in which such a seed can be planted, and that is the thought of the chosen people of Israel. God, four thousand years after Adam fell, established one person and sought to plant, centering on the family, centering on the world, centering on the people of Israel. This is good soil. It means it is one perfect foundation. Here, centering on God’s love, one comes to hold a new view of character, a new view of the family, a new view of society, a new view of the nation, a new view of the world, and to set out toward a new ideal world.

Become a Perfect Seed That Can Be Planted in Good Soil

To plant such a seed, He sent Jesus to this earth. Although this field ought to have become a foundation on which the historic Jesus could grow and ought to have been absorbed as the elements of life necessary for Jesus to grow, the people of Israel, as the field, raised the banner of revolt. It became a seed without good soil, without land. That is why Christianity has no footing upon this earth. As a people without a nation, receiving contempt and being driven, it has developed by paying the price entirely in blood. It is not a seed planted in good soil but is the same as a seed planted in the air. What is called spiritual salvation is the human being. It means one lives only in content but has not lived as substance.

That is why the time of the Second Advent will without fail come upon this earth. It means that a seed that can again find that field, that good soil, and be planted here appears anew upon this earth. This is the thought of the Second Advent.

Then have you become good soil?

Has the Christianity of the whole world today become such good soil? How much persecution did Christianity inflict until the Unification Church developed this far? It inflicted persecution greater than that with which Judaism persecuted Jesus in Jesus’ day. It persecuted us wretchedly.

God is conducting a providence of making this land good soil and planting a seed here. But what will happen if these people cannot pave a ground in which that seed can be planted? Where will the foundation of God’s six thousand years of labor go? Unknown to you, God has labored to make this land holy, good soil, and to plant a seed here and harvest a holy fruit a hundredfold, a thousandfold. It was said that one who forsakes for my sake the fields of parents or brothers will be repaid a hundredfold. To be repaid here means that one has become a perfect seed.

Whatever price of the world one pays, becoming a perfect seed is the greater matter. If only one becomes a perfect seed, one can be planted in prepared good soil and bring a fruit a thousandfold, ten-thousandfold.

Then have you become a seed that can be planted in good soil?

Have you, or have you not? You have not. And yet you seek to be treated better than a fruited seed. It means that one perishes. If one has not become such a seed, what must one do? What must be done? If a planted seed does not bear fruit again as a seed, can one plant it? Can one, or can one not? “One cannot.” So there is nothing but the road of being reborn.

Who is the person who fought during these seven years, set up as the Unification Church’s seven-year course, God’s course of Restoration, and bore fruit as a perfect seed that can remain? Are there people who, holding their own subject consciousness, could say that they are the possessors of this land even if the Unification Church should disappear?

If the Unification Church disappears, how many people would remain here? How many people? Are you confident here? Are you confident, or not? “We are confident.” What are you confident about? Even the Teacher disappears. Well, are you confident?

Since that seed of several thousand years ago was handed down generation after generation until now, if one plants that seed now, it will without fail bear that fruit, will it not? Then if Teacher Moon of the Unification Church is one seed, have you become fruits like Teacher Moon, planted by Teacher Moon of the Unification Church? Facing the Will, has it become so or not? Has it, or has it not? “It has not.” Since it has not, just die. Then when will it be so? If it is not so until death, one perishes. The problem lies here. Now then, what must members of the Unification Church become? They must become the ripe grain of the Unification Church. Is that not so? If one calls oneself a member of the Unification Church, one must in the future become a father and mother of the Unification Church. Is that not so? In other words, one must become a fruit that can be harvested.

In human history today, in the satanic world, upon this fallen earth, the fruit gathered into the storehouse must, even without an owner, bear its fruit if only anyone takes it and plants it. That is why the question is whether you have become such selves, unchanging fruit that can bring a harvest before Heaven.

The Road of Prospering

So what the Teacher has asserted until now is that you inherit the traditional thought. That is, motive and result must become one. In the Unification Church, who is the motive? Who is the motive?

If one simply says Teacher Moon, I feel bad. It is the Teacher centered on God who is the motive. On the vertical standard, God is the motive, but on the plane standard, that is, on the horizontal standard, centering on the human beings of this earth, Teacher Moon of the Unification Church is the motive. If so, what must you become? What must you become? “We must become the result.” But if the result does not coincide with the motive, it means one perishes.

Look. A moment ago I said that although you were born holding the motive of the satanic world, and although you set out with Satan as your owner, you did not become the owner of this world, did I not?

If one becomes the owner, one remains. But since one has not even become the owner, one must perish. If on the plane, the standard Teacher Moon of the Unification Church is the motive, what must you become on the plane standard? “We must become the result.” Then what happens on the day one fails to become the result? “One perishes.” Then will you perish, or will you prosper? “We will prosper.”

The road to prospering does not lie elsewhere. One must follow the marrow of this church. One must go over carrying Heaven on one’s back and must go over carrying the Teacher on one’s back. That is why I say inherit the tradition. It means the question is how the origin of that motive came to be formed. One must inherit all my twists at the time when that motive set out. One must grasp through experience that grievous fact as a fact piercing my very marrow. One must struggle against all the sorrowful conditions of history. Until that struggle ends, one cannot go forth into the position of result. Without passing through such a position, there can be no harvest of the Unification Church, no fruit of the Unification Church.

Then, did you come in here to harvest the fruit of the Unification Church? Or did you come in to harvest your fruit? Let us ask. If you came to harvest your fruit, it means you perished. You came in to resemble the fruit of the Unification Church and harvest that. Is that not so? “Yes.” Did you come in here to resemble those Unification Church members who only speak ill of others and who, being worthless people, go out and witness and admonish others about being for the people and for the world?

Must you become a person who is criticized or a person who criticizes? “We must become people who are criticized.” One must become a person who is criticized, must one not? Then what must one do to be criticized so? One must run at the head. One must not sleep at night and must make things hard for people. The Teacher has been playing that game until now. He makes things hard. If there is a gathering, though it passes twelve o’clock and lunchtime goes by, the Message shows no sign of ending. He seems about to pummel and crush and not let them be. Is that all right even so? “Yes.”

Look. All of you, what must be given for grain to grow?

For a person, one can pour out a whole gourd of honey and give good meat broth and bring a table of food; but what is it one pours out for grain? “Fertilizer.” Fertilizer is necessary. If one pours out fertilizer, will the grain like it or dislike it? “It will like it.” What do you mean it likes it? How dreadful it must be for those leaves! Fertilizer must not touch the leaves. It means that though the root likes fertilizer, the leaf dislikes it.

It is the same. In the Unification Church, if I say I will apply manure, the mind dislikes it. That manure must be received by the body. The body is made to need manure. If the body absorbs the manure well, that person grows well. But a person whose body does not absorb the manure well grows scrawny. Then is it a good thing to make the body undergo the business of being covered with manure? What is it to cover it with a gourd of honey, with something sweet? It is to make it perish. Then must one put a gourd of dung on the body, or must one not? “One must put it on.”

Has Teacher Moon of the Unification Church worn a gourd of dung, or has he not? If he has worn it, I will not perish. By wearing it, I will prosper. Now, even if the newspapers of the Republic of Korea run banner headlines across a whole page, I do not even blink. Those called ministers and the like fear the newspapers most. But the one who does not fear the newspapers is Teacher Moon of the Unification Church. Why? Because I have worn the gourd of dung to the utmost. It means there is nothing more to wear. Having worn it well in advance and settled firmly into place, all things went smoothly. Look. That is why, even if I go wrong, people will think, “In the old days he was reviled like that, and it turned out so after all,” so in the end that too becomes an escape route by which one can get out. It can be so. So do not get angry at wearing a gourd of dung.

Though one wore it with the body, the mind is different. Though the wave that drew near was fierce, the resolve to press through this and go forth was strong. Teacher Moon of the Unification Church has paved a worldwide foundation today while wearing such a gourd of dung. Was that well done or badly done? “It was well done.” Will you model yourselves upon that manner, or will you not? “We will model ourselves upon it.” Your words are fine, but when I ask whether you will model yourselves upon it or not, why do you do that? Are such people a seed that will perish or a seed that will prosper? “A seed that will perish.” They are a seed that will perish. That is why the question is how much you digest. The problem lies here.

The Ism and the People That Can Gather the World

Then will you today become the protagonist of the harvest, the protagonist of the fruit, of which we speak here?

Human history has come to its harvest period. Is that not so? In this harvest period, who will become the owner? Anyone at all in the human world? It means it will not do. Nixon of America? Kosygin of the Soviet Union? It means it will not do. Then who is the person who can become the owner in this harvest period hereafter? It is the person who, in that world where the waves of death sweep over, has taken responsibility and fought to harvest together with the Will of Heaven. It means that apart from such a person, it will not do.

This does not come about by a view of the nation centered on any nationalism. Nor does it come about by a worldview set up centering on any particular people. One must hold a family-ist ideal that can boast of a relationship beyond the relationship of brothers, from an ideal base where all people are equal, centering on God’s love. It means that without that, it will not do. In other words, it means there is no way to gather the world except by such an ism and thought as can inspire this centering on the relationship of parent and child.

Just as parents sympathize more with a worthless child, God, who gazes upon this world, likewise sympathizes more the more pitiful a people is. If there is a person who can guide the world today, he must hold an ism and thought that can love the pitiful peoples first.

If it is such an ism, it will be able to gather the world hereafter. That ism is not one centered on the nations of the satanic world. One must deny the satanic world entirely. It means that an ism centered on the ideal of a new world, centering on that new world, must be manifested upon the earth.

There is no group but the Unification Church that pursues such an ism. There can be no other group in this world. Is there any besides the Unification Church? It means there is none. However much one searches, there is only one place. It means there is nowhere at all that has presented the direction of the ideal that the truth of the Unification Church teaches.

Seen thus, we must become the owner of the harvested fruit before this world of a new age. Do you understand? “Yes.” Having become such an owner, next one must without fail become a perfect fruit so that, when planted in good soil, a sprout comes up without fail every time. Do you understand? “Yes.”

However much one plants it in a gravel field, it must without fail reveal its figure and bloom and bear fruit. Even if the number is small, the fruit harvested must without fail appear in the figure of the Unification Church. It must, without fail, be what Teacher Moon asserted.

And if Teacher Moon too is the substance of the result that God asserts, he must resemble the figure God asserts. It means it must be so. If there is a first result taking God as the motive, this result must again be made the motive and become one. In other words, centering on one motive produced from the first motive, you as the horizontal must become the result and become one with this motive.

If so, on the road the Teacher goes facing the Will, you must be standing in a position where your lives can coincide. Now are your lives coinciding, or are they not? Do you have lives that coincide with the Will? Are you of that one mind alone? If you become two, it means you perish. It means one becomes tares. Though similar to foxtail millet, one becomes tares. It means one does not become the fruit the owner awaits.

Being similar to rice does not make it rice. It is barnyard grass, barnyard grass. All of you know barnyard grass, do you not? If one plants this in a seedbed together with rice, one cannot tell. Unless one is an expert, one cannot tell whether it is genuine or false. But if one gropes between the furrows and looks at the stalk at the base of the rice, one can tell. I am good at picking such things out. The stalk of rice is hollowed in, and barnyard grass stands out.

All of you, not everyone who says he is a member of the Unification Church is a member of the Unification Church. Among these, there are people like barnyard grass. It means there are people like tares. And there are people who, as tares, carry themselves in the manner of foxtail millet and who, being like barnyard grass, carry themselves in the manner of rice. Such people will all perish hereafter. In the end, their true colors are revealed. If the result and cause do not coincide, their true colors come to be revealed.

If God set something out centering on pure content as the motive but its result was knotted as something impure, or if He set it out centering on a public standard but the result became private, it means that it perishes.

God is, in every respect, a public being. Because He is public, He values the family more than the individual and the clan more than the family. That is why He says, Sacrifice the clan and find the people; sacrifice the people and find the nation; sacrifice the nation and find the world.

In these Last Days, Heaven’s history for finding the world is precisely this. Then is there a nation or a people that awaits in the process of the Providence of Restoration and seeks to sacrifice its nation and find the world? If there are, those people will govern the world. Seeking to make such a people is the ism of the Unification Church.

God’s Wish Toward This People in the 1970s

In other words, that one perishes oneself, that one disappears oneself, and pursues a harvest a hundredfold and a thousandfold, is Godism. It is God’s thought. This is the traditional thought of Heaven that has remained until now. Therefore, now let us be struck and undergo suffering and establish a perfect fruit.

To come seeking a self of fruit that can overcome trial and suffering with vital power, that can digest any difficult environment, is God’s Providence of Restoration of six thousand years until now.

Then, if what has appeared as the fruit of that Providence of Restoration is the Unification Church of today, is there among these an individual who can stand in place of such a fruit? Is there such a fruit?

If there be, that one can without fail bear fruit wherever it is planted and can without fail settle and make a household. To it will be attached a signboard saying, “That one is made to live like that.” Have you become so? That is a public matter. It is public. Such a one knows nothing but the public. Yet if one brings it forward here, one perishes.

Why does the Republic of Korea become corrupt?

It is because the people who have held public office in the Republic of Korea until now have sold the nation and been for their families. When it becomes so, that nation perishes. When one nation perishes, who is driven out as a traitor? Those who sold the nation for the sake of their families are driven out as traitors. Such people are made to perish first.

What is unification thought today?

It is that even if I perish, and my family suffers, and my relatives suffer, let us play the game of becoming fertilizer on the road of saving me and of sprouting the bud of life before these people and making a perfect fruit. This is unification thought. Now, all of you, will you go such a road, or will you not? “We will go.” Those who say they will go, raise your hands. Let us see. Why do you raise your hands and lower your faces? Put them down.

Then from now on you must do so. The first seven-year course began in 1960, and now we are walking the second seven-year course. Ten years are about to flow by. It has been said that in ten years the mountains and rivers change. Now, wherever one goes, no one can make the Unification Church perish.

However much the Republic of Korea mobilizes the national army and does something, the Unification Church will not perish. Because a worldwide foundation has been paved, it means it will not perish now.

The period in which the Teacher was anxious while struggling to pave the foundation of the church has completely passed. Now, even if the Teacher dies, unification thought will remain. The time of being anxious, centering on the church in this way, has passed. So now one must be anxious for the nation. But do not think that we intend to do something politically. No. We must educate.

We must give ideological education, and we must give education for living. In this respect, in the 1970s we must carry on a movement of re-educating the thirty million people. You must know that this is the wish God desires. Do you understand?

If One Would Become a Victor of Restoration

In the old days we were driven out while receiving much opposition and persecution to be educated, so this must be restored again through indemnity.

That is why, in giving education, one must give education centering, in the second stage, on the people who opposed. One must not regard those people as enemies. Seen centering on the Will of the Unification Church, what did those people who opposed the Unification Church become? They became Cain. What did they become, you say? “Cain.” They became Cain. Do you understand? Then what does a person who was opposed become, you say? Abel. Thus the positions of Cain and Abel were determined, and the fight has continued until now.

Now, because we have taken the Abel position, we must subjugate Cain. Otherwise, one cannot become a victor of Restoration. Is this not the teaching of the Principle?

That is why now, if you leave alone those Cain-type people who in the old days, when you were witnessing, looked upon you with antagonism and jealousy, or who opposed and expelled you, those people who have remained as objects of God’s curse, the Republic of Korea cannot receive blessing.

So you must go seeking them and make them naturally submit and stand in a position where they can welcome the Unification Church. By doing so, a new chapter of history will arrive in the Republic of Korea. Do you understand? “Yes.” Now the time has come when this can be so environmentally, and there is material by which such content can be explained before the thirty million populace, and we have achievements that the majority of people can publicly acknowledge.

Then with whom do you think lies the responsibility of tearing down the Cain-type wall that treated the people as an enemy? Cain cannot do it. Do you understand? Cain cannot do it. Abel, who was killed by Cain, must not die but be resurrected and come seeking Cain again and forgive him. Through Jesus’ death, the Abel-type standard was determined. And thus Peter, James, and John, who betrayed him, became the Cain-type representatives; but the resurrected Jesus went seeking them and reconciled with them. Through that, a new providence of Christianity came to set out upon the earth. Is this not Christian thought? Is it not the fundamental content our Principle has taught?

From this viewpoint, if the Unification Church has now prepared the posture it ought to prepare, it will not do to repay an enemy as an enemy. Then it means the Unification Church cannot go the road it must go. One must unbind everything that has been knotted as enmity until now and go. And one must prepare for them too a relationship of blessing in which they can participate. When it becomes so, they will silently kneel and repent of having persecuted in the old days.

If you see such a figure of repentance, know that the heavenly kingdom of Restoration is beginning upon the three-thousand-li peninsula. When it becomes so, an age will draw near before us in which we can hold a new leading role in Asia and raise the flag of God’s providence and go forth to the world.

When we come to know such things, how shall we now tear down all the Cain-type foundations that were knotted against you in the past? You must know that this is what is required at this point of sending off 1969 and welcoming the 1970s. Do you understand? “Yes.”

Thus we have welcomed a time when what could not be planted, the harvested fruit of God’s side upon the foundation of the satanic world, the Cain-type foundation, can be supplemented again and planted. So you must add to that mind of 1960, when you set out on the Will, to that mind when you devoted your whole sincerity, a mind pierced through for the Will, and now at last make that ground good soil and plant a new seed. It means the time has come when one cannot but gather sincerity and plant.

There, all the enemies as tares will be transformed and become fertilizer for the new seed. Do you understand? The people who opposed will become a foundation on which you can grow. Their having repented will become a condition and will become a stimulating motive for your development. When a new sprout comes up there and appears as the figure of a Unification Church equipped with a system, the time will draw near when we can cross over that world of persecution, that Cain-type world, against which the Teacher fought for fifty years of his life, and march toward a new Abel-type age.

The Work We Must Do as Abel

That is why the Teacher said, “Year 1969, be gone! Go quickly. Do not harm the workers of unification; go quickly.” The year 1969 now has seventeen days remaining. By the lunar calendar, about two months remain. Some fifty days remain. On the day this passes, a time of hope comes in which, in place of a history of bitter resentment, a national foundation of indemnity can be paved; then who must do this work? The son must do it. It is not the father who does it. Do you understand? “Yes.” And among the sons, who must do it? Abel must do it. The people of the Unification Church must do it. Then who among the people of the Unification Church is Abel? Who is close to the Teacher? It is the band of worthless families, dreary families. So one must set such people to a tremendous work.

The position of the Teacher is pitiful: this heartless person who had to put forward those close to him and take up the whip and drive them onto a long road of sacrifice, who must unavoidably take up the whip again to incur the debt of the history of misfortune hidden from God. It is the same as the position of Adam, who must restore through Abel, being pitiful.

Because in these people the established religious bodies have not fulfilled their responsibility, one must sort out the Cain and Abel positions within the Unification Church itself and prepare a battlefield on which one can fight a second time in place of the people. Otherwise, it means the road we must go is blocked. Because we are placed at such a point, the Teacher knew in advance how urgent our present responsibility is and has been praying about it from long ago.

From the time we entered 1969, we have stood in such a serious position. In the midst of such turmoil, Hui-jin died, but he went well. He went well. To build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, to find the day of God’s wish, I came to stand in the same position as the Father who set Jesus in a place of death. It fit exactly with the Principle. For the sake of the Will, one must go holding back tears.

Last summer vacation, I commanded that the families be mobilized in their entirety, but who was mobilized? Who was mobilized, I say? Because they were not mobilized, Hui-jin stepped forth. When he spoke, saying, “Since no one follows as the Father has said, must I not at least go?” I could not stop him. At that time Hui-jin ought not to have gone. He ought not to have been sent on a far road of more than three hundred li.

From such a position, one must indemnify the historic course and unbind it and go. Even so, did I shed tears? I did not shed a single drop. One born in the street is pitiful. Hui-jin too, like Jesus, was born in the street. It is the same destiny as Jesus. But whereas Jesus went in his thirties from a position of being driven by the people, from a position without a foundation of Israel, Hui-jin went not from a position of being driven but from a position centered on parents who had a foundation. Because he went from a position where he could be welcomed, rather than the position of a Jesus who was driven, a Jesus in the grievous position of being opposed by the family of Joseph together with John the Baptist, it means he went well. Furthermore, that came to resolve the han of Jesus’ adolescence.

And thus we have come to be able to enter a new age in which the whole can be mobilized, centering on the spiritual world. It means that not only young people but the whole can consolidate upon the earth a spiritual foundation for mobilization. It means such a foundation has been prepared. Amid such an urgent aspect of the age, when we asked who would today tear down this Cain-type wall centering on God’s Will, it meant Abel must come and tear it down.

Because Adam fell, Jesus must come as Adam. That is why the Bible called Jesus the second Adam. And the one who comes as the third Adam is the Lord at the Second Advent. But this Lord at the Second Advent comes riding on the clouds? It means, you people with rotting lungs, do not dream. Does he come riding on clouds? No. Because He sought to plant from Adam and could not plant, He must plant again through Adam. So he must come with the name of Adam. He must come with the same content as well.

When there appears a third Adam who crosses over the pass of the han of falling and inherits the Father’s heart (심정), who was anxious lest they fall, and holds the mind of God that can prevent the Fall, then upon this earth an origin for the creation of a new age and a new history is prepared, and he makes a historic departure as a new ancestor.

From there at last, in this world caused by Adam’s fall, a second Adam comes, and the first Adam stands in the position of Cain and the latter Adam in the position of Abel, and it is indemnified worldwide. The mission that the world too must go now lies here.

If so, who must tear down the Cain-type wall set before these people, who must go to the world? Who tears it down? Must the Teacher tear it down? Did Cain strike the father, or did he strike the younger brother? He struck the younger brother. Have the people of the Republic of Korea until now struck you as members of the Unification Church, or not? They struck you. So you must restore. That is why the second seven-year course came to be.

By the end of 1974, the destiny of Korea is decided. However loudly Kim Il Sung of the North boasts, once 1974 is passed, ten years of study will come to nothing.

Then how shall we overcome and cross over this period? How shall we cross over? The world situation centering on Asia is changing rapidly. Before such a providential foundation, how shall we prepare to go by a smooth highway? Now we must look at you. The Teacher, anticipating that, is now preparing for that fight.

He is now making preparations to enter that gate. Hereafter we must also hold an Asian assembly and a worldwide assembly, so we are going forward with such preparation.

It Is Enough to Dance to the Teacher’s Beat

Then, since the responsibility of tearing down the wall blocked through Cain lies with Abel, will you fulfill this responsibility or not?

In other words, here there is barnyard grass among the rice; will you pull out that barnyard grass, or leave it be? As long as that barnyard grass remains, the fight that contends for the right of survival cannot end. If the fight continues, the heavenly kingdom cannot be built. Is that not so? You are placed at such a point. Then if the Teacher says go, will you go, or will you not? Must you go, or must you not? “We must go.”

Centering on the Unification Church, who is in the Abel position before the Teacher, you say? It is the families. Among the family, who is in the Abel position? Who among the family? Is it the man? Is it the woman? It is the woman. It means it is, unluckily, the woman. It means I have been made to suffer because of women. So one must restore that through indemnity. Did the seed called woman cause Teacher Moon of the Unification Church to be reviled, or not? “She did.” So one must unbind it. Since the Principle is made so, one must unbind it. That is why we mobilize the women.

Now then, it means that a man who has a woman must take hold of the woman’s skirt hem and follow. Do you understand? Our Blessed Families, when did you restore Adam’s family through indemnity? Did you, or did you not? If you did, at that time did you try the business of obeying before the woman, centering on her, or did you not? That is being led along, having formed a relationship centering on love.

You have borne many sons and daughters until now, have you not? That is why we have you play this game of theory. You may say, “At one time you gave the Blessing and told us to live well, and now again you separate us; to whose beat on earth are we to dance?”But it is enough to dance to the Teacher’s beat. Will you do so, or will you not? Answer. Will you, or will you not? Those men who can do so, raise your hands. It means that without doing so, there is no road for your sons and daughters to live. It means that without the Teacher indemnifying it, there is no road to live. You must think well about what this means.

Now then, will you wives go, or will you not?

Now Cain and Abel have come to exist before the wives too; will you love Cain, or will you love Abel? The sons and daughters you bore are Abel. Those to whom you will now go out and witness are Cain. What did Eve bear as fruit? Whom did she bear as fruit? Eve’s fall bore fruit through Cain. Who caused Eve’s fruit to be borne, you say? It means Cain. Then who must restore this fruit of Eve through indemnity? The woman must restore it through indemnity. Then what must one do? It means one must play the game of making Cain submit before Abel. Do you understand?

Holding the Heart of a Parent and Wearing the Body of a Servant

Before such indemnity of yours, the Teacher goes casting away everything. He goes, casting away all his sons and daughters. But because you have a second tactic by which you can indemnify while leaving them in that place without casting them away, it means you are in a happier position than the Teacher. Is it so, or is it not?

That Eve thus bore fruit and the root of sin was determined was through Cain.

That is why, if one stands in a position of striking Abel, one perishes. Now the sons and daughters to whom you go out and witness must be able to serve Abel well. And you must make them into sons and daughters who can worship before Abel and who, when Abel is married, can come with gold and frankincense and myrrh and invoke every blessing. For that, you must devote sincerity. Otherwise, all your having loved the sons and daughters you bore until now will be held against you. This is the secret method.

Now, must you love Cain, or must you love Abel?

Whom must you love? Men, listen too. Whom must you love? Abel or Cain? “Cain.” It means love Cain more than your son. God, desiring that, set Cain in a mortifying position. It means God, holding such a heart (심정), set Cain in a position where he could be loved first.

That is why the question is whether you can love the enemies who opposed you until now more than your sons and daughters. This will decide whether you are newly entered into the family register before God or not. Now one enters the register as a family. The Unification Church too must now finish the Blessing. One must stand on the standard of having resolved this problem completely and having completely indemnified it. The Principle is made so. That is why the Teacher too is going that road. He goes casting everything away.

If you live without doing such work, it cannot be helped. All of you, will you do it, or will you not? Blessed Families, will you do it, or will you not? “We will do it.” Those who say they will do it, raise your hands. Put them down. It must be done.

When one does this, only then does one become the fruit of the harvest, the owner of the harvest. Only then can the fruit that was planted, having fallen as a family in history, be trodden upon and rise above the history of han and prepare the qualification of an owner and appear as a true parent before heavenly law (천륜), before heaven and earth. That is, one becomes the messiah of a new tribe. One becomes the ancestor of a new tribe.

Just as Abraham was called the ancestor of faith, one becomes the messiah before the clan of Kim if one is a Kim. Now the many ancestors who came and went in the past are not ancestors. Such ancestors will become grandchildren of tens of millions of generations to you.

That is why we say heaven and earth are opened anew. Since the father becomes the son and the grandfather becomes the grandson, one cannot but call it the opening of a new heaven and earth (천지개벽). Furthermore, the mother becomes the daughter, and the daughter becomes the mother. It means it is reversed.

Therefore, you have now clearly come to know that in the new historical age, the opening gate of the opening of heaven and earth unfolds not elsewhere but only through the gateway of the Principle of the Unification Church. Now, is this an exciting matter or an unexciting matter? “It is an exciting matter.” One must say, “My, such a thing is unfolding!”

And one must say, “You are the historic protagonist! I prayed for six thousand years to meet you. Since I have sought and sought for six thousand years and met you, I will devote all the sincerity I have to you.” So, holding the heart (심정) of a parent and wearing the body of a servant, tears for what? For humankind, sweat for what? For the earth; blood for what? One must shed it for Heaven. Toward whom? It means let us do that work toward Cain.

If one settles such things, you will without fail become the fruit of the harvest. You will become victorious princes and princesses who can unconditionally inherit all the content of heavenly value that the Teacher has pursued as the mission of his whole life.

Now, in words, one can say it simply, but it is difficult to practice. Here, the shackles of the enemy bar the way, and the guns and swords of the enemy bar the way. One will collide with a crossroads of death. When you face such scenes, think of how Jesus prayed. Jesus, who can be an elder brother to you, walked such a road as well. Therefore, you must say, “I will keep and go by the fidelity my elder brother went by. I will keep and go by the fidelity my elder brother went by.”

At the crossroads of death, Jesus said, “Not as I will, but as the Father wills.

Accomplish the heavenly kingdom of hope through me. Today I die as an individual, but through this I bear fruit before the world. Though I was sacrificed before the family I desired, bear fruit before the world through that family. Though I die as an object of the clan’s reverence, bring about a result of worldwide reverence.”

Because Jesus thus died holding the origin of a motive that could cross over the world and longing for the world of result, motive, and result could coincide.

Because a true seed planted on such a standard brings a true fruit, he could found a world of results centered on Jesus in name and in reality. Jesus scattered that motive on the cross, at the crossroads of death. It means he scattered it, centering on death, from a position of loving God.

We Are in the Position of a Shell Already Fired

Therefore now you too must go that road. The Teacher too has walked such a road until now. Yet until I reached the age of fifty, I had never once prayed before God, “Why dost Thou make me undergo such hardship?” You must model that as a tradition. Even in a position of being struck with a fierce beating and fainting and collapsing, going back and forth several times across the boundary line of life and death, the Teacher did not think such a thing even in a dream. “This is only natural. Strike! How great is the power of death! This death that devoured the Apostle Paul and destroyed Peter, James, and John, that ground of bitter resentment, strike so that it comes seeking me! Beat me. I am not a man who will retreat before this barrier called death.” Saying this, I have fought until now. I do not grow weary. Are you weary, or are you not? Are you weary, or not? Those who are not weary, raise your hands. That road is a road on which one can be resurrected. Put your hands down.

When one fights, a shell must go to its target and explode. You are the same as shells already fired. So one must run. One must go straight toward the target. The larger the shell, the more it makes a roaring sound and announces the direction in which it goes. When such a shell explodes, the matter is not ordinary. The Unification Church is now going toward the point of explosion. Do you understand? On the day that bursts in the middle of Asia, the world will move. Though the shell that was fired is simple, it holds content that can emit tremendous power. You must go forth in the position of such a shell.

Now, is there a road of death before the Unification Church, or is there not? “There is not.” Is there persecution, or is there not? “There is not.” I came resolved even upon a road of death. Yet now, when there is not even persecution, can you not go this road? It is out of the question. If you would talk such nonsense, do not even think of the Teacher. Now from here it divides into two roads. Will you go, or will you not? Let us declare it once again. Those who say they will go, raise your hands. The men need only follow the women.

If one only does as the woman says, one is restored. It is the same as Adam being restored. Because a woman opposed the Teacher, the Blessed Families must restore that through indemnity. Do you understand? Seong-jin’s mother opposed so fiercely, did she not? You must restore that through indemnity.

When we see that such compounded providential content dwells here, one must overflow with hope, saying, “Year 1960s! Go well! I will here become a base from which an artificial satellite can fly. Light the fire! On the day the fire catches, it will fly.” Do you understand? Toward tomorrow’s world, toward tomorrow’s world of wishes, stride forth with the strength you have prepared, under a focal point on which all the people of the world fix their eyes! “Amen.”

That Armstrong; I would have liked to be the first to go to the moon, but that person went first. How unpleasant. However much he did so, it means he went no further than the moon. The moon is nothing. It is a desolate waste. It means I am a man who moves the world of thought in the human world and has staked the outcome at the highest cutting edge of the universal world. One holds such a feeling. A time will come when whatever doctor and whatever president fix their eyes upon my procession. Let us wait and see whether such a time comes or not. Let us wait and see who perishes. The time when I remain will without fail come. I think so.

The Prime Mover of the Creation of History

I speak dignified and splendid words well, do I not?

It means an age has come when it can be so. It is not a dreamlike story. Think of several decades ago. If one spoke such a story then, they would say, “That madman, sitting there talking so grandly; what a holy sight…” These days I ride in a car and come out wearing a suit like this and go about, but in those days I wore a jumper, with a dyed rubber shoe on the right foot and a white rubber shoe on the left, dressed one way Korean and one way Western, and sat there, so that state of mine was truly a holy sight. The beard had grown as it would, and the hair was as it would be, and yet he speaks impressively! He unifies the Cosmos. God goes back and forth beside him. History turns upside down. Even so, would there be anyone to believe? Because in those days their minds were dazed and turned, there are a few who have stuck and remained until now.

If their heads had not turned, they were not made to remain. Until now, whatever one said seemed like a lie, but now the time when it can truly be so has drawn near before our eyes.

If one looks at the Teacher’s movements, one will be able to know that now a fine state of things is unfolding in which one can walk upon the great sea and can run upon a highway. A good time is coming when one can rest one’s legs here. It means a time is coming when you can go with your mind at ease. Will it be so, or will it not? “It will be so.” Think about it. You have slept when you wanted to sleep and eaten when you wanted to eat and done everything, but the Teacher could not do so. You must know that. I have never done what I wanted to do. To go the road Heaven commanded, I am living as a servant of Heaven. Is the road of living as a servant a road of perishing? No. It is a road of inheriting the position of the owner’s sons and daughters. The formalities of inheriting will take that long. One has come up inheriting the individual of the heavenly kingdom, inheriting the family of the heavenly kingdom, inheriting the clan of the heavenly kingdom, and inheriting the people of the heavenly kingdom.

That is why in Korean society hereafter the Unification Church cannot but become an issue. Just wait and see. There will be more and more people who study about the Teacher. Then together with the Teacher’s name, a history of the Teacher will remain, will it not? Will a biography of a certain Moon of the Unification Church remain, or will it not? “It will remain.” Hereafter, even if the history of Japan disappears and the history of America disappears, the history of Teacher Moon of the Unification Church will remain. It is made to remain. Here too it is written, “Teacher Moon.” Well done.

On the first page of that history book, it will begin, “Master Moon of the Unification Church…” Then, saying, “He went to Yeongdo in Busan,” Yoo Hyo-won, the limping cripple of an Association president, will appear. Would it not be so? And then it will all come out: how the 36 Families married in such and such a way, and a brawl broke out, and there was an uproar of demanding, “Give me back my father.” The figures who appear there are historic figures.

Then the question is whether one must establish the authority of a historic figure, the value of a historic figure, the dignity of a historic figure. It is because I have stood in a position of creating history, and because I am the prime mover of the creation of history.

Did you hear or not hear the word that the 36 Families, 72 Families, and 120 Families must all gather on Wednesday evening and Sunday evening?

All of this is the business of cleaning up after a baby has soiled itself. Suppose one bought a child expensive clothes to wear on a holiday; what does the child know of holidays? Delighted, he wears them every day and runs about, and they all become dirty. Even so, one cannot let him wear them just so on the holiday, so what must be done? One must wash them and dress him. One washes them again and dresses him. You are in a position where I must wash them again and dress you. Do you understand what this means?

So you must clearly know that in the year 1970, you yourselves cannot but become beings in whom God can hope. Do you understand, or do you not? “We understand.” Men, do not talk big. Women, do you understand, or do you not? “We understand.” These women, to indemnify, I must make them suffer wretchedly. Those who feel aggrieved at this, raise your hands! I will explain it to you. Those who think, “Teacher, is it not too much to disregard women so? Women too have human rights, and these days the thought of equality of men and women has come to the fore; why do you do so? ”Raise your hands! I will explain it so that you cannot budge. You, too, know well the content of why the Teacher does this, do you not? “Yes.” Since you know it, you must put it into practice. A person who knows and yet does not practice cannot appeal even if he is punished. Will you, having entered the sulphurous fire of hell, cry, “Teacher! Teacher!”? What kind of teacher is a teacher there? He will tell you to perish utterly. If one does not do it though it was told so, one deserves the punishment.

The Secret of Going to Heaven

Has Grandmother Park Bong-sik come here? Where is she?

There will be no one here who has come for the first time. Let us speak without reserve. You are all friends with Teacher Moon of the Unification Church, are you not? Are you all close to Teacher Moon of the Unification Church? “Yes.”

Grandmother Park Bong-sik, has it not been rumored that you go about with an unmarried man?

In fact, you are indeed closer to me than to your husband, are you not? Even a grandmother is so; it means. But do not say, Let us live together. It means we are close indeed. Between father and mother and the bridegroom, who is one closer to? Is the bridegroom closer? The bridegroom is closer, but when there is no bridegroom, one is closest to father and mother. It is the same. It is made so. Your husband died, but he appears occasionally, does he not? It is so for everyone who has entered the Unification Church. He has not died but has gone to the spiritual world. So when one dies, one meets again and lives together and keeps house. It is a dreamlike story, but it is a fact. Park Gong-seo, do you understand? “Yes.” What do you mean you understand? You understand only in words but do not in fact.

Grandmother Bong-sik, does your husband come now and then? “Yes.” Coming, what does he tell you to do? What did he say? “He spoke of the Four Position Foundation.” It means that old man came to know. Having gone to the spiritual world, one is made to be caught. He is rushing and in great trouble. He cannot go the road he must go. Is that not so? It means the Principle is made so. It means one absolutely cannot enter the heavenly kingdom without establishing and indemnifying the Four Position Foundation. Jesus too is laboring until now because of this. The Teacher too suffered for forty years of his life because of this. He suffered to sort this out. The reason for the suffering does not lie elsewhere. It is because of the restoration of the Four Position Foundation. In Jesus’ day, the three disciples Peter, John, and James were also necessary to establish that.

Therefore, from where can one enter the heavenly kingdom? It means it is simple. Where was the heavenly kingdom lost? Since it was lost in Adam’s family, one must restore it from the family. Adam and Eve fell through an illicit love, did they not? It was lost there. To restore this, one must find and establish the lost Cain, Abel, and Seth. Without becoming parents in place of Adam and Eve and establishing these three sons, one cannot achieve the Four Position Foundation. This is a formula.

Do they not say that Jesus too is in Paradise until now?

Without finding this Four Position Foundation, one cannot enter the heavenly kingdom. One cannot enter. That is why Jesus too established Peter, James, and John as sons of faith. They were his chief disciples. That is why he said as many as three times, “Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?” It means he indemnified three times. What does this mean? Because Peter was in the position of eldest son among the three disciples, asking Peter three times was asking once for Peter, once for John, and once again for James.

If the elder brother Peter had died, would the two younger brothers not have died following him? Yet Peter feared death most. He said three times that he did not know Jesus, did he not?

If the lost family comes down repeatedly, it is the world of death. Because Satan took away the three sons, the Son of Heaven must take them back from the satanic world for the sake of the heavenly parent. That is why, centering on Noah’s family, He sought again the eight family members lost in Adam’s family. In Noah’s day, He judged centering on eight family members, did He not? The eight family members are important. Three sons and their wives, then eight family members were judged, were they not? The eight family members are important. Three sons and their wives, then eight family members, is right. It is the same with Teacher Moon of the Unification Church today. In the Unification Church too, there are three families, are there not? Without three families, one cannot attend the Mother. That is why one lives, staking one’s neck on this. It cannot be helped.

What is the secret of going to heaven? It is restoring the Four Position Foundation. The sixty-six books of the Bible all hang upon this. It means the wish of six thousand years of history all hangs upon this. It is the same with the resolution of han and its accomplishment for humankind. It would be good to speak of it in more detail, but there is no time now. Is the Four Position Foundation absolute, or not? It means it is absolute.

If one does not achieve this, one is in great trouble. One cannot enter the heavenly kingdom. One cannot enter. If one cannot enter, what shall one do? If it becomes so, your Blessed sons and daughters will lament for a thousand and ten thousand years. Will one make it so because the parents did not fulfill their responsibility?

If it becomes so, they cannot become completely restored descendants. The spiritual world spoken of in the Unification Church is such. It means nothing can be done about it.

Become the Fruit of the Harvest of the World of Life

That is why from now on you must not love your sons and daughters. But because the Teacher is one stage ahead, the Teacher can love his sons and daughters. He must love sons and daughters in your stead. But for you, it is not yet the time for that. It is a time when this must be indemnified.

Now, when the three-year course is crossed, we enter the year 1970, and we must conclude this and cross over. That is why we seek to resolve this by June of next year. Seen by the Will of the Providence of Restoration, the time has come when we can welcome a new fortune of the Unification Church together with the resolution of han and its accomplishment for the people.

People who have spiritual communication are saying, “Now Heaven’s time is fully come. It has fully come.” But they do not know from what center that talk comes. But you know, do you not? So at such a holy time, you must not miss this historic period, which comes but once, and must certainly become victorious people, centering on Heaven. Women, mothers, must do this work. Do you understand? Beginning with the 430 Families, there are now some eight hundred families, but there are many families that do not fulfill their responsibility. If it becomes so, they cannot be recorded in the genealogy.

Therefore, now you must become the fruit of the harvest. This is the fruit of the harvest, is it not? One must become not the fruit of the harvest of the world of death but the fruit of the harvest of the world of life. When it becomes so, one will at last become the owner of Eden and the protagonist who can inherit the heavenly kingdom. You must, without fail, accomplish this. To establish three people, one must draw them out from among twelve. One draws them out, centering on the Four Position Foundation. Is three times four not twelve? It must be so. One need only witness three people. Then one will without fail become a citizen of the heavenly kingdom. Now, all of you, will you go, or will you not? Those who say they will go, raise both hands.
