Cheonghae Garden, Yeosu, South Jeolla, Korea
(Father begins Hoon Dok Hae on the Message titled “I, Who Face Two Worlds,” from Sun Myung Moon Seonsaengnim Malsseom Seonjip, volume 7; though they love God's love, they stand in a place of darkness where they cannot receive that love. Humankind is placed in a destiny where it must, by its mind, surely pioneer such a place—so how shall it pioneer this? Now the path you are to go has been made clear.)
Here is the textbook. The Unification Church has the textbook and the teaching materials.
Until what day will the one who boasted to the world continue that boast?
This textbook and teaching materials are the textbook and teaching materials even in the spirit world, and the world where this cannot disappear is naturally the place where God can dwell.
The place where God can dwell cannot but be the one unified world, the world of peace, the world of happiness, the unrestrained world, my world. Aju! That is how it goes.
Why does Father suffer?
Because Korea persecuted, Japan persecuted; when persecution in Japan ended, America persecuted; when persecution in America ended, the UN persecuted; and now that the UN has come to welcome me, the devils gathered from the heavenly world and the earthly world seek to strike me. But the world of the devils has ended, so how will it turn out?
God looks only to me, and I am a person who knows nothing but God. Since those two have met, you must know that peace begins in such a world that no one can oppose. Among yourselves as couples, you have not become a standard of peace. God and True Parents, the King of Kings and True Parents, must become one. There are many kings in the world.
Does the Republic of Korea have a king or a president?
“It has a president.” Did it fall from king to president or rise? “It fell.” There is democracy and communism, and communism is something that appeared after the Industrial Revolution. It is not a humanism of the person. It is not human-centered but matter-centered, and they hold this and stake their lives on it. Since they hope that matter can rise above the Creator, they are mad.
In the future, when they appear by the roadside, they will try to wipe out everything, from the animals to all the masses of people. Why is that? Because they tried to wipe out God's people and could not, that is what it comes to. But the heavenly person says he will digest the whole of the evil and the good.
The Chinese Communist Party is President Moon's enemy, yet I am striving to save them. Christianity and the religions regard President Moon as an enemy, yet I think to save them. For whom did I make these teaching materials here? They were not made only for the members of the Unification Church. I made them, but they are not for me, nor only for my sons and daughters.
I made them for the people of the world, and when those people read these teaching materials, they work for their sons and daughters, and how will those sons and daughters act—for the people of the world? When those two combine, they work for God, and since God, the sons and daughters, and the master become one and work for one another, there is no family but that one.
Our family and nation! Our family and nation, and at the same time, my nation, my family, my people, my husband, and my wife.
Unless one becomes a person who can hold to that and live regarding it as the representative of the world, such a master, then what becomes of the world of peace forever? The world of peace that can rise upon the universally valid cosmos does not come. That is theoretical.
President Moon Is the One Who Would Liberate God
Yet, regarding President Moon as the enemy of the Republic of Korea, they curse and oppose him, saying, “President Moon, die!” Japan, too, is saying, “President Moon, die!” The nation of Japan says it will wipe out the Unification Church, but the Japanese women who have come here are bright people.
The ones receiving training these days are all young people who have finished university and above and are bright—so why do they undergo forty days of maritime training?
Not forty days, but forty years, four hundred years, even four thousand years must be passed through, yet these days they say, “What is forty days? If we had only fulfilled the condition by doing four days, we would have done it first—why was it set at forty days?” They say even four days is unwelcome, and if it is that unwelcome, then quit. I am telling you to do as you wish.
Did President Moon pierce your noses and drag you, telling you to follow me? You followed of your own accord. You followed, but where did you go?
You came here, but President Moon passed through Japan and went to America. He sought America and stayed in America and sought out the UN. Having sought the UN, the task remained that he must rise over it, centering on heaven and earth.
In rising over that, President Moon does not sit and ask others to rise over it; he himself rose over all of it at the head. He came having risen over the whole Abel UN. Because the entity called the Abel UN has come forth, just leave it to Father. He settles it all within a single day. He does it with the Message. I am telling you to live this way.
That is one, fair, and impartial. The people of the past love it, the people of the present love it, the people of the spirit world love it, the people of the earth love it, God loves it, and True Parents love it. That God and True Parents loved was when there was no fall in the Garden of Eden, and there it was not only God and the unfallen Adam and Eve who loved it; the archangel also loved it, and Adam and Eve lived within the archangel's realm of management.
Satan, too, loves President Moon. So the pastors and elders who opposed the Unification Church now say they will get ahead of you, the members of the Unification Church. Ahead of you, I say. They are pastors of churches who came forth dreaming not of the family of the church but of the family of the nation. Yet you, dreaming not even of the family of the world, abandon the world, saying you are the best because my family received the Blessing.
You were blessed to work for the world, to save the world, yet, setting aside the saving of the world and saying you will save yourself, you are judged first. What did I come here to do? Do I love Jeolla Province? What was the name of this region? I forget this house and this region entirely. Jeolla Province is at stake, is it not? This region and its mountains and streams remain, but the people of Jeolla do not remain. They flow away.
It is not that I love or dislike anyone. I am neither a teacher of Jeolla nor a teacher of Gyeongsang.
What kind of person is President Moon?
He is the one who would liberate God. Something like Jeolla is no problem. If Jeolla would only listen to my word, in a week it would all be finished. It comes to pass according to the Message. Live this way. Surely, since the whole of what I have accomplished has set up a ladder, no matter how high a tower you are in, what will become of it?
Do you call it an elevator or a helicopter? A helicopter goes up, and an elevator goes up. Will you ride a helicopter up, or an elevator up? An elevator is confined, but a helicopter can go up from anywhere.
Why do you call it a helicopter?
When you ride an elevator, you do not bend and straighten your waist, but that one bends and straightens the waist, so it is a helicopter. From wherever you are, you can go up.
You Must Go with God Attended Before You
Do you love Father? “Yes.” How much do you love him? “We love him a lot.” It is a bright red lie. (Laughter) Because it is redder than a Red, it is bright red. When what is white becomes red, it is bright red. What is white becomes red. The Reds came out of red, but they make even the whites into Reds, I say. The Reds are trying to make the whites into Reds, centering on white people. It is the reverse.
The Christian, being a white person, ought to make the Reds white, but who won? In the Last Days, Christianity perished before the Communist Party. President Moon smashed what brought about that ruin.
Do you know that Gorbachev of the Soviet Union is Father's disciple?
Do you also know the fact that there are Father's disciples in the royal palace of England?
Where is that person living?
Why did a Gyeongsang person go and live on Jeju Island? After living on Jeju Island, he has come to Yeosu and lives here. After taking responsibility on Jeju Island, he has come to Yeosu and Suncheon and is responsible for the training center.
If tomorrow he is told to go to the Soviet Union, he goes to the Soviet Union. In going, there is no boundary line. Since there is no boundary line in going and working, the Unification Church is fearsome.
A Unification Church member knows how to live wherever you set him down. And President Moon too—what becomes of him when he goes to an unknown world? At first, those people put up a wall, telling him not to come, but once I went and passed just one year, the wall all disappeared. And they follow along behind Father. Saying, “If you would go to catch fish, I will go where the fish are caught. If you go to the hunting ground, I will go to the hunting ground,” they try to follow along every day, so it is the death of me.
In Yeosu and Suncheon, there are sea bass and mullet, and my mullet-catching here is finished. Among the mullet, there is the gasung'eo (false mullet), and when you catch a gasung'eo, you release it. When you catch a true mullet, you bring it home. Why is that? Satan cannot even be eaten. The gasung'eo, if eaten, has many bones, and the flesh tastes bad, so you fall ill, but the true mullet, even eaten from a sickbed, heals the illness. The gasung'eo has a blunt head, but the true mullet has a slim head and is made to leap well.
This batch of trainees is like a school of mullet. Why, like a school of mullet? They leaped over and came. Thinking that, becoming the very last stragglers, the water would run out and the air would run out, they came; but on coming, there was water and there was air too. There is an end to the water, and the air too has an end.
This training center, too, has an end. There were close to three hundred or four hundred, but now it is forty-three. “It is forty-five.” Where did the four hundred and thirty go, that it is forty-five?
Do you have ten times the ability, ten times the worth?
In eating, you are all equal, so you eat a tenth of what was eaten before—would you take and eat a portion of food ten times yours? Where is anything to boast of? Why did the young people stay hidden until the very last? There are people under thirty as well.
So, who is it that knows the person called Teacher Moon?
Raise your hand. What kind of person is that? Is he a person who would smash your house, smash your hometown, smash your nation, smash your world, and smash the world that God cares about? If he were, God too would be challenged.
What is it that the Christians and the religious people hope for? Even President Moon himself is doubting. “Going on like this, if I die, I will simply disappear!” they think—so whom do you believe?
He is a person God cannot believe in either. Leave it and watch, and when he crosses the seventy-two ridges and crosses the hundred and twenty ridges and crosses the hundred and thirty ridges, so that even God follows behind me, what must be done? Only by going with God, who attended before you, does the world of peace come.
In the Garden of Eden, were they not driven out, with God left behind? Only when the time comes that you can set God in front and follow Him—only when it becomes the reverse of the time of being driven out—is it restored, is it not? That is simple.
What becomes of you if you do not know how to liberate God?
A prodigal, a ruffian who stirs up discord in the family, came forth, and because of one person, the household was ruined. Yet if one person becomes more loyal than the eldest son and the eldest daughter, the king of that nation visits the family of such a person, and the king of the world can visit too. That is theoretical.
Among Men, President Moon Is the Best
Father's fist is smaller than the Japanese woman's, and his feet are small too. Let us look at the feet. They are like a goblin's feet, but it was said, “Large feet make a thief” (足大曰賊) and “a large head makes a king” (頭大曰王). The head must be large, and the hands and feet must be small.
The hands and feet that were this large wore down and down and became small. And Father's backside is large—why is the backside large? Going about day and night without rest, since the backside longs to sit on the ground, it sagged and grew large.
Hearing such words is more interesting than the Message of Hoon Dok Hae—is Hoon Dok Hae the problem?
They say that if Father can blink his eyes and talk while laughing, it is more interesting, so just throw it all away and follow Father alone. But what about Father's eating? He lives even without eating and lives even without sleeping. I went to Alaska and rode the boat for twenty-five years. Rising at three in the morning and returning at midnight, there were only three hours to spare.
Why did Father take an interest in Jeolla and Gyeongsang?
I had Jeolla people and Gyeongsang people marry in exchange, and the Gyeongsang person dislikes the Jeolla person, and the Jeolla person dislikes the Gyeongsang person. Yet when they bear sons and daughters, they become one. A Jeolla woman of the chatty sort met a Gyeongsang husband, and the Gyeongsang husband is blunt and just like a one-horned rhinoceros. Being like this, once he starts to charge, he knows only one furrow.
Gyeongsang people and Hamgyong people are a match. The one more fearsome than the Gyeongsang person is the Hamgyong person. It is because they are up north. When Kim Il-sung came to Pyongyang, the people of where did he bring in to build the Communist Party. The Pyongan person is “a fierce tiger emerging from the forest” (猛虎出林) and is good at counterstriking. If there is a person who claims to be great, he absolutely will not listen.
Even though I came to Jeolla and cursed a great deal, those Jeolla people who were cursed all loved me. The Japanese hussies are the same. Those hussies of “Did she cross the mountain, did she cross the courtyard, did she go off to marry, did she go to philander?” follow President Moon and say, “If President Moon builds one house in the garden, I came to surround it like a tree and guard President Moon for my whole life.” They say they came to meet a man to marry, but the only man is President Moon.
Why is that? It is President Moon who is better than the kings of the world, President Moon who is better than the grandfathers, President Moon who is better than the fathers, President Moon who is better than one's own husband, President Moon who is better than the brothers of Cain and Abel—so among men, President Moon is the best, I say. He is the best.
Why is that? When the eyes are large, there is much fear, but mine are small. Among Korean people, I am the only one who has a nose descending like a great mountain, becoming an aquiline nose. It overawes the Jews. It is because the will is strong. After four thousand years, Jesus came, and having killed Jesus off, they say they will meet again after eight thousand years pass.
By cho bu deuk sam (初不得三), it is twelve thousand years. Since by cho bu deuk sam four thousand years passed, it is eight thousand, and then twelve thousand years. Cho bu deuk sam means that since it was not obtained the first time, it is obtained on the third try. There is the high place, the low place, and the level ground, and by cho bu deuk sam, one goes to the level ground to live.
If you live in the valley, you can die when the flood comes, and if you live on the mountain, you can be devoured by the tiger, but on the level ground, there is only the venomous snake. If you only watch out for the snake, you survive.
Among snakes, are there many kinds of venomous snakes?
There are only three or four kinds of venomous snakes, differing in color. The snake that lives in the forest catches frogs at will and drinks the dew at will, but the snake that grows in the gravel field naturally becomes a venomous snake.
In the gravel field, going along, the body gets wounded, and there are all manner of things, but the snake that grows in the open field, when it is hot, climbs a tree and lives taking the breeze.
The Meaning of the Character “Mun” (文)
In the poorest places of South America, there is nowhere I have not been. Wherever anyone said they could not go, I went. On going there, there were many gentle people. Those people are good, so even when the village robs them, they let it all be taken, and having nowhere to go, they live in the valley where they can become friends with the venomous snake. The Indians are like that. People live as they were born.
I taught those people to catch and eat fish. They do not even know how to catch and eat animals and live by gathering grass. They should live by catching and eating the animals that gather grass. Cattle, sheep, and goats gather grass. The things that gather grass migrate. They migrate through the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, seeking what to eat.
None but a ruminating animal can be an offering. Why is that?
Adam and Eve, too, befriended the ruminating animals—the sheep and the cattle, I mean. I, too, milked the cow and drank. Adam and Eve, centering on the ruminating animals, packed their bundles and migrated, and they were the ancestors of humankind.
Father is of the Nampyeong Mun clan, and the character “Mun” is the character for “writing” (文), but this refers to the altar. The character “Mun” itself speaks of the offering table. On the level surface, centering on God, four pillars are braced in an X (⨉). Being an X (⨉), it holds firm even when you try to topple it.
If there were no ground, what would become of this table? Such a table is used as a sacrificial table. So upon the sacrificial table, the offerings are piled high.
They are the things of the sea, the things of the mountains, the things of the fields, bearing fruit through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The things people need have been handled by the ancestors, and since we have eaten them and lived and are all in their debt, we must set down what we so owe and offer the sacrifice before the master of heaven and earth. It is such a sacrificial table.
On the sacrificial table, there is one, and God is set there. That is why the nation that knows how to attend to the one God is the nation of Korea. There is such a saying here, too.
This book, I alone understand. If you tell anyone to interpret it, they interpret it as they please, and a thousand people, ten thousand people, are all different. You must learn from me. It would be good if I read this once for you! (True Father conducts Hoon Dok Hae on a portion of the address titled “The Settlement of the Abel UN and the Completion of Cheon Il Guk Is Korea”; the Korean people are a heavenly-lineage people who, from of old, have revered God as the highest and supreme ancestor among their ancestors and lived accordingly. They have called Him the one and only ancestor of all, the One Being—that is, God……)
When you say “the One Being,” there is none but God. To become the one master, the single master—that, in our language, is God (Hananim). I am saying they know nothing but that. (Hoon Dok Hae continues; and attended Him as their master (the Creator of night and day), and therefore the root of all numbers too began from one and two……)
“Absolute” Means There Is Only One
What does God do alone?
Can the absolute God be the master of life and the master of love too? Can he qualify for two master's degrees, the qualification of a hundred master's degrees? “Absolute” means there is only one. (Hoon Dok Hae continues; and attended Him as their master (the Creator of night and day), and therefore the root of all numbers too began from one and two…)
They do not know that He is the master who created night and day. Is the God of the night God, or is the God who began creation in the daytime God? Which would have existed first?
Would the God who is the master of the night have existed first, or that God who, so that the day could become the world of creation, made the created things under the sunlight—which would have existed first?
Of the two, which would have existed first? “The God of the night.” They do not know the Creator of night and day. (Hoon Dok Hae continues; and attended Him as their master (the Creator of night and day), and therefore the root of all numbers too began from one and two……)
How does the absolute God do anything alone?
Being the one Being, He has no wife either. They know the one God, God the Father, but they do not know God's wife. Where is there a father with no wife?
Asked this, they cannot answer. Such facts are packed full. No matter how great a learned doctor one has become—a world-class doctor of literature, a doctor of science and technology, or a doctor of physics—what about this book? “The Settlement of the Abel UN and the Completion of Cheon Il Guk Is Korea”—how will you interpret this title? It is all contained in it.
When you ask Korean people, “Who would it be good to make the master of our nation?” there is Admiral Yi Sun-sin and all the loyal subjects, but lately they say, “President Moon must be set up as the God of Korea. It is too good to set him up as the God of Korea; President Moon is the one who must become the God of the world.” Korean people think that way.
A strange village has come into being. Among the established churches, several factions have arisen. They are the Presbyterian, the Methodist, the Holiness, and so on, becoming hundreds of factions, and now that a President Moon faction has arisen among them, they have increased further. They have increased, not to split apart entirely, but to become one. I am giving them the delicious rice cake of becoming one, I say. And what is that rice cake? It is the Message.
It is all the things prepared as meals in God's royal palace, the treasures of the world of every kind, and the food made by gathering grain and fruit. Going to the kingdom and eating, you eat with relish for about a week, but after a week, you cannot keep eating it. It is because it is too rich. A lean person puts on flesh. The hand that was like this grows soft and supple, so one becomes like a man of leisure.
Is a woman's hand soft and supple, or a man's hand soft and supple? Father's hand, being of great age, is a hand that would be like this, but it goes like this. The fingertips all lie this way. In the old days, these all touched. The thumb still all touches now. Father was good at kicking the ball too, and for anyone, if the angle of the foot differs only a little, the direction the ball flies differs. Kick the ball this way and it goes this way; kick it this way and it goes this way. I know that. In hooking the leg at ssireum too, when Father braced firmly like this and bore down, no one could pull it free.
What kind of exercise did Father do?
I did exercises bracing firmly like this, with only the end joints of the hand. I still have that strength now. When I do the palm this way, it lifts. If I bear down and scratch, blood comes. I know such techniques.
What is a pastor (moksa)?
“Pastor” means the eye is dead (the characters can read 目死, “eye-dead”). It is because he does not know the eye of the world. I am not a pastor with a dead eye but a living viper (saengsa, 生蛇).
When you say saengsa, it is a living snake, and a venomous snake, when it rears up, can lift two-thirds of its body, the trunk side, centering on one-third, the tail side. When this settles down and then snaps, it flies two or three meters. And so it strikes and bites. I have seen a venomous snake fly as far as three meters.
When I went about the palace site at our Cheongpyeong, whether gravel field or wherever, I traveled it all and there was nowhere I did not go, and on looking, I found there were venomous snakes. A small fellow was looking this way, its head trying to climb the mountain, and when I went past to the side, it slowly turned its head. If it meant to harm me, I would not leave it alone, I say.
I went about carrying a bamboo staff and a venomous snake, even one sitting still; I caught it at will, kicking it with a booted foot.
If you press only the tail, the venomous snake cannot rise and bite. But that fellow, before even the morning sun had risen, was sitting there from dawn, intending to catch and eat some animal. Once it strikes and bites, the prey collapses, and it is meant to drag it to the valley, bury it, and dig it up to eat.
It lay there on the path going up like that, and when I went up, I looked to the side. With the staff, I said, “If you stay like that, you are in for it. Get away over there!” and as I told it not to lie there on the path but to get away, doing this with the pole, it flew about three meters here. Because Father is quick-witted, I struck it with the pole. That is how fearsome it is. Such an instinctive worker knows how to protect its own over life and death.
The Unification Church Looks Bound to Perish, but It Will Not Perish
It is the same here too. Look at the beginning. (Hoon Dok Hae continues; respected leaders of the nations of the world, and distinguished guests from home and abroad…!) Then the greeting is all done. The men and the women, the splendid people, all enter. When greeting, I am telling you not to claim to be great and speak loudly. My greeting is clear. With this, all enter. The ancestors enter, the descendants enter, and all enter.
(Hoon Dok Hae continues; in 194 nations of the world, millions of good men and women attend and uphold us, this couple, as the King of Peace—the True Parents…)
What will you do? You would rather not be left out of the count, would you? You do not want to lose to President Moon's family, do you?
If you become President Moon's sons and daughters, will you follow such a nobleman who hopes you become a family more splendid than President Moon's family, or will you not? Will you listen, or not? These are words spoken while sitting you down and driving them home. From the spirit world, they are told to each grab one person, take responsibility, and lead them along.
Who is there that holds a rally while raising such a movement?
This means that the spirit world President Moon moves is all alive. Whether a hundred years pass or a thousand years pass, when, from a place that can respond to this Message, the call comes, “Now, let us go to such-and-such a place!” the hundreds of billions of ancestors who have gone to the spirit world come and drive them all into one corner.
Instantly, it becomes Unification Church territory. (Hoon Dok Hae continues; the worldwide-scale organizations and institutions that we, this couple, have founded and operated for world peace throughout our lives number in the hundreds.
We have made astronomical investments in many fields—religion, society, culture, athletics, education, the media, and so on—and are successfully developing them for the salvation of humankind and the advancement of peace…
The Unification Church looks bound to perish, but it will not perish. By what skill does it take root and develop in every corner of the world, I say? With human conception and strength, it cannot be done, and I am foretelling that it goes forward this way by Heaven's help. This book is needed.
So there are three kinds of books. Western history must be burned up, and the notebooks they recorded to educate later generations must all be burned up. This book will do—it is all contained in here.
