Unofficial notes: Michael Jenkins
On the morning of Monday, March 31st, Hoon Dok Hae was held with True Parents at East Garden. Starting at 5 am, Father began to speak:
We are headed toward the settlement, and we must have a new system of the heavenly nation. Centering on God, we are to have the Kingship and liberation of God centering on the Pacific Rim.
(Won Ju McDevitt then read from Father's speech on August 3, 1958, Jesus Who Came with the Destiny of Restoration).
Father then resumed his talk: On the last day, everyone has a responsibility. You cannot avoid it. We need to have a plan and a clear mind on what we are going to do.
The question is what direction we are going in to take for the future. We will have to embrace the enemy. Even for the flight, there can be a good flight or a poor one. The leader must be able to digest any kind of situation. Wherever we go we should make progress constantly. We need to understand that Father isn't following just someone's idea. He is following God's will. He is the only one in history who can know what is needed.
The title is the settlement of the Abel UN. If America doesn't bring about the embrace of the UN it will go down. I will be transparent and clear about America. Moving in that way, we must continue developing. This is the age of settlement. At the top of the observatory, we must make it so that we can fly from this place.
People who lose in a competition cannot go to the place of struggle. They are not qualified.
How can people with different philosophies claim that they are following the truth and come against the Principle?
I want to appoint you as my representative, but you must be getting better each year. What is there to be proud of in America? Many Americans have their own idea, and they think they are better than others. God must bring a Universal Principle to unify everyone on a higher level.
Every human being wants to live in that kind of place where God will dwell. Such a place is so difficult to see I have worked so hard for almost 40 years in America, I spoke in English and then Korean. After living here for three years I wanted to run away. I spent my most precious years in America.
The Honey that Binds Us Together
People from all the developing and developed countries gather here in America.
There should be a special honey that binds us together. That honey taste has to be the sweet taste of God's presence. This sweet spirit of God is what can bring all the different people together. The teachings I give are so precious; if you study you will see how precious they are.
When I hear my teachings I get the feeling that I want to eat the book, it's so delicious! “Amazing Grace” is great, but it is not enough to cover what God is doing now.
When you make your eye minimal, you can see a very exact point. We must be focused because the world is not just fun and games. There are serious things that we must accomplish now. God's Kingship must be expanded. This must start from here and now.
Young Seng means eternal life. We must be liberated in eternal life. God must be liberated. Where is God's hometown? This is a serious issue. The world has been still at night. Where can God stand? He cannot stand in the fallen world. Did day come from night or night from day? Can we say the son is from the father or the father from the son? We cannot choose which way we like. There is a principle and it is universal. There are many colors of God.
Though America has developed so much, it can cause harm to the world if it does not follow God's guidance. In this powerful world of Las Vegas, many powerful businesses are invested there. All these women show themselves there. It used to be a barren desert. There are women there who show their bodies and feel no shame.
Why do they do this? To make money? They could make money to eat in other ways. If their beloved man comes to that place no man can stay with that woman.
I have gone to Las Vegas more than 25 times. It would be something if I went once. Now I have gone many times I am open about it. Why? I go with a hat and among the people. The reason I go there is to build a ladder on which human beings will have a way to God. It is a gigantic ladder from the dungeon of hell that will liberate people. You have to be careful at this time, or that ladder could be blown away.
We have to restore the number 13. We have to overcome every number there. Las Vegas in America is like Monaco in Europe and Macau in Hong Kong. Now in Russia.
All over they have gambling places. Which is the best? They have their world of gambling. Russia has its view of it; China has its view of it. They want to control the money. China can manipulate the stocks and the finances of the world. How will we bring about settlement in this world?
An Abiding Need for Balance
How are we going to digest gambling in this world?
I majored in electrical engineering. I can analyze and understand things quickly. We have to be focused at this time, and then we can do the right job for heaven. If we can't do it the right way, it will go in the wrong direction. We have to see the way to go from the Principle.
Americans may not be persevering like Asians. How are we going to receive the seeds from heaven?
When you want to collect good seeds, you put them in salt water. The bad seeds will float and whatever is solid will be stable and stay on the bottom. The same goes for marriage.
I have seen everything in America incest father-in-law and daughter-in-law, grandmother and grandson, mother and son, father and daughter what kind of life are they living? They are living worse than animals. This must be cleansed.
Koreans generally can move much faster than Westerners. Many leaders of the world like me and trust me, however, many don't like me and are apprehensive about me. I have raised young people from being hippies into good families.
Occasionally, the man has the shape of a woman and a woman is like a man. How can we balance this? Some have blue hair and red hair and strange colors. We need to understand what the heavenly standard should be.
What is the center of the Universe?
In communism, they like the color red. What about a powerhouse? If it has 3,000,000 volts and that is sent out, the power level can be decreased. If it is not balanced, it can create an uneven system that is unstable.
Some people might pressure us with power, but it won't work as far as the people are concerned. It is because of this understanding of the balance of electric flow we could make the happy health machine. If they used it continuously many would be healed. Some may try to claim that they made this, but God revealed it through me.
If you go to different doctors they can have different views and not find the problem. Some judges have different opinions, and so the standards are unstable.
For 90 years I have been working and guiding people in many nations – in 194 countries. Korea, Japan, and America especially. The UN, if it understood its role, it would fulfill. That's why I'm trying to help the UN. Should the world be centered on America?
It is a nation built by immigrants. Wherever we go there is a tendency, like seasonal birds or fish, when we want to return to our home roots.
Who determined the four directions: east west, north, and south?
However, there must become one system for everything. In America, we use inches and the world uses meters. Which is better? Because of so many standards, it is a world of confusion, disunity, and woe. Many nations are watching me closely for the direction to go.
The Heavenly Standard
We need to know the heavenly standard. There must be a different strategy according to the position we are in. We are spending a lot of money in each nation.
I'm the kind of person who follows God's direction. There is a constitution in America, does it promote mind and body unity the selflessness of the individual, or just individualism? Since it promotes individualism, it will not last. It has to develop. So many world leaders respect me.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
Prime Minister Heath of England respected me. When General Haig made his transition, we honored him. Whether it's a Republican or Democrat is not the most important thing. What is most significant is the quality of the character of the person elected.
That is why I have given you the textbooks on how to understand God and His providence of restoration. These books teach you the Way of Character.
Did night come first or day?
First, there was darkness, according to the Bible God beyond the darkness created. If you are courageous, you will not lose anything. Americans like orange juice.
What juice do I like McCol juice?
It came from the cold whereas the orange juice comes from the warm climate. There is a difference. First, there was night. Religions by themselves cannot bring unity. Religions can make things more difficult if a new principle doesn't emerge.
How can America deal with China?
By force or power? No. Only by love. I want to bless the Communist world and liberate theme.
Even when we are talking about suffering and pain then this all must be dissolved and overcome. From this principle, we must bring the East and the West the communist and the free world together. How? Through international blessing. If the father is Russian and the Mother American it will unify the right and the left.
All the arms should be turned into farming tools to protect and cultivate the land.
Those people who committed sins in front of Rev. Moon must ask forgiveness.
If there is fighting between the boar and the ants, who would win? If there is an earthquake, where will it come? Korea is safe. In New York, if we worked on joint development with our assets, we could have made a lot more money. But it wasn't the right way for us.
America is now getting better at soccer. In American football, the game is very fierce, and many get hurt when they use their hands. Americans like tap dance and only use their feet however when you dance, the body should move, the hands should go up, and the opposite. There should be balance. Dr. Seuk is excellent at Martial Arts. Rev. Do Sun I'm is the head of all the martial artists. Name the field that I wasn't involved with. I could be exceptional at any game.
Mr. Park who is responsible for the soccer team now was taught by me. We are working to establish a soccer association at the UN. However, just a large association doesn't mean you are one. In the sports world, I am known to have teams that are number one.
In Las Vegas, you have to understand how to win. You must be able to make more money. The dealer can't stop even if you go to sleep. If I have money, I always give it to others.
(Someone got up to leave) Father said where are you going? If you have to leave, you have to bow down, and go quietly, when you stand up tall and go it looks like you are opposing Father's speech. Go by bowing down.
(Father asked Dr. Yang who the key black leader is that leads the Nation of Islam. Dr. Yang replied, “Minister Farrakhan.”)
Las Vegas sounds like “Lost Beggars”. I have my secret way of working from the corner to the center. It's all done through the Principle.
Although I'm a grandfather, when I grabbed an American, he couldn't get away. I am not afraid in America. I am guided by God. We just need more people.
Dr. Yang, please read my speech.
(Dr. Yang read that Father has 13 children Father said why did you say 13? Its 14 children – Dr. Yang answered '14 Abonim.' Father replied: “What did you read?” Dr. Yang said: “14 Abonim.” Father replied: “Then why did you say 13?” Everyone laughed Father doesn't miss anything.)
With these words, the world will not be able to oppose. Through these contents, all the secrets in the world are revealed and have been walking a path of life and death. Through these words, you can resolve all the problems of your ancestors.
You should have a complete library.
These books exist on different levels and should be for children in grade school through university. Hell on earth and hell in the spirit world can be removed. You can then hoist a flag for the Heavenly Kingdom. You can live for thousands of years and eternity. Aju.
There is nothing more to teach about. You should not live as you please -- you must follow the way of these books. God is guiding you in your life.
In Las Vegas, there is a house called the Cheon Hwa Gung. Is it bigger than East Garden? It's just a regular home to find that, however, there had to be internal preparation because it's very bright light and fresh air there. All we need is a simple tent and God's word.
We can live forever with that. We must study deeply Father's words and then mobilize all of our different relatives. Shall I go to DC? (Yes). All you require is the words I give you.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
