Millennium Hall, Central City, Seoul, Korea
Where is this place? Is it Seoul or the provinces? It is Seoul. What building in Seoul is it? This is a building Chairman Moon knows well, and on this building, Chairman Moon's name is also attached. It is our house, our nation, our world, our God. When we say “our,” the nearest — my house, my nation, my world — can be connected.
So, because it is my house, nearer than our house, the one who knows it as my house and can become the owner of my house should appear as a young and gallant person; but since a person over ninety years old has appeared, you must not think it does damage to the honor of the building.
A Final, Fateful Admonition
The age of the person standing here is over ninety, but his vigor and spirit are the same as in that time of his twenties, when he negotiated and settled accounts with God. That is why all the people in the spirit world and all the blessed people of the Unification Church on earth wait, holding a han of a thousand years, to meet Chairman Moon. You—your average age is all over fifty, is it not? 「Yes.」 Those under fifty, raise your hands. There are none!
So, since I have stood on this platform as a gallant young person under fifty, shall I speak with a loud voice, or how shall I do it? Shall I speak not for ten hours but for over a hundred hours, or speak for just a moment? I will do as you welcome.
The one standing here has held many rallies through renowned halls in renowned places of the world. When I hold a rally, I can generally catch at a glance what kind of people have gathered and what age standard it is. But looking here, those over fifty are the majority. Those people are people who have experienced and passed through everything, so what story shall I tell?
If they had experienced nothing, it would be worth speaking, but since they have experienced it all — since, in the years I have lived, I too have passed through all the ages above fifty — there is no content to speak of.
But what is the content I appear and speak of here today?
You — what kind of rally is this today? It is the Unification Seonghwa Festival Capital Region Commemorative Rally. I am the representative person there, so do not think that an aged person is speaking. Seen from the unifying standard of the spirit world and the physical world, the youngest person cannot but be Chairman Moon, standing here.
Though my age is greater than your father's or grandfather's, I dislike such an age. I can speak before this world of being the True Parents, the proxy of God, as a fresh mother and father before you were born, as a blossoming couple of such an era who can love — but to be worn out and old and speak such words is something I dislike. So, holding such a thought, know it as the speaking of a chief of an age that is utterly young, utterly gallant, utterly outstanding, and utterly beautiful.
The people who have received the Blessing of the Unification Church number up to several hundred billion in the spirit world. On earth, too, there are several hundred million, and that you hear such a Message in this place, which those people look upon as a single focal point, is utterly happy. What is this? It is the final, fateful declaration that the one who came as the True Parents makes as he lives on this earth and departs.
It is a time when Chairman Moon, having passed his life from his youth to ninety, can go to the spirit world and live forever, and it is the time of proclaiming the declaration needed even in that world, so it is a solemn and holy time.
So, because celebration is significant today, I know how to speak with a loud voice, but even if I speak quietly so it cannot be heard, open wide the door of the mind that can solemnly digest it, and even if you listen, shining a magnifying glass on it, it would be good if you would listen, taking a time of keeping it deep in your heart. You will make such a promise, will you not? Yes.
The God of Night Is Not Known
I should greet you from the start, but if the greeting is too long, you may say, “What kind of greeting is that?” It is a place where, standing at the focal point of heaven and earth, even the baby to be born in the womb and the people who have lived a thousand, ten thousand years until now and do not wish to live longer take part. So, doing it large and doing it small, I will speak so that you understand, and I hope you understand well.
Do not assess whether that content is large or small, but speak, hoping to become the owners of the content. (True Father reads aloud the lecture text “The Settlement of the Abel UN and the Completion of Cheon Il Guk Are in Korea”: In the 194 nations of the world, several million good men and women attend and uphold us, this couple, as the King of kings, the True Parents.)
How about you? (Applause.) You understand! You uphold, but you must uphold even better. Even the foreign people say they uphold us so that things go well for a thousand, ten thousand years in the Kingdom of Heaven, but one must uphold even better. (Reading continues: But the life of us, this couple, is not a life of such a dimension as seen with secular eyes.
We, this couple, who must receive the seal of God, the vertical True Parents of humanity, and fulfill the mission of the substantial True Parents, are now living days more grave than at any time, with the last three years remaining until the completion of substantial Cheon Il Guk……)
So, because you came here and waited, I think it is great that you did not forget but came seeking, and let us applaud once. (Applause.) Thank you. Can my face be seen even from the back there? Yes! Am I a young person or an old person? You are young. An outstanding man or an unsightly man? You are handsome. A splendid person or a foolish person? You are splendid.
It is an astonishing place where heaven and earth take note and the focal point that all nations praise is gathered. Since I think you, the owners of this astonishing place, are more splendid than I, I will think it a great honor and listen. (Reading continues: For the sake of this will, I alone broke through ten thousand hardships and was victorious, and, leading the ignorant and benighted humanity that had fallen to the plight of orphans who lost their parents, walked the path of this world's salvation……)
Is that a believable word? My! Hundreds of millions of people are in the spirit world, and there are 6.5 billion people in the world, too, and the point is that one person walked the path to save them. Do you believe that or not? We believe. Let the people who do not believe stay still, and let the people who believe applaud. (Applause.) Then I am astonished and cannot speak, standing here. From receiving too great an impulse of emotion, you see. When astonished, that can happen. (Reading continues: Now, the end period of history having come, Reverend Moon, who came as the True Parents of humanity, has at last revealed that heavenly secret……)
Where is that person? He is in front. It is the old grandfather standing here. Is it not appalling? It would have been good if you had known about escaping the fetus before becoming one, two, three, ten, or twenty years old — but how is it? Having become ninety, I do not know how many days are left, but I must go to the spirit world as I am called. Meeting that one who has left an endless future before him, must you wait, holding what wish? Must you find out?
If there is no content that you can leave with or find out from Chairman Moon, great trouble comes. Chairman Moon is struck by a thunderbolt.
So, it is the work of leaving that behind that I prepared for over thirty years and that I am telling you today. You do not know that there is a God who came forth holding the ideal of creation even at night. The point is, you do not know the God of Night.
The God after the first human ancestors fell was known, but the God before that is not known. The point is that, in the world after the fall, He is all known by the name of God, but the God before is not known. Is night first, or is day first? Is the father first, or the son first?
Since the father is first, one must attend to the father, who is first, like Heaven, and know him as honorable.
They are ignorant, benighted factions who did not recognize that the night is precious. The God of Night dreamed of the world of creation but could not become the Owner of the world's creation. They do not even know the fact that the God who played the role of the God of night appeared and could not create the visible world. It is a word you hear for the first time, is it not? Did day come from night, or did night come from day? It came from the night. Do you say “night and day” or “day and night”? We say 'night and day.
Because the elder brother came forth first, how is it with the elder brother and the younger brother? Before the son, what comes forth first is the father. What comes forth first that way is the father, and what exists first is the elder brother—so what does it mean that in Adam's family the elder brother beat the younger brother to death? It was a family without love! It becomes like this. The elder brother killed the younger brother because he did not know love.
Who it was that made that ignorant, benighted energy, I do not know. It is a question. So, will you live with confidence in your life, which leaves many questions? Would it be good for me to do it as I please? Then what would become of it? (Reading continues: You — the word “death” is sacred. It is not a synonym for sorrow and pain. So Reverend Moon revised and announced that word as “Seonghwa”……)
The one who said Seonghwa is only me. Did I announce it well, or not? 「You did well.」 Why did I announce it without your permission, without your father knowing, without your God knowing? You do not know what that means, do you? It is a word that crosses over. So you must overturn everything you knew in your life and re-examine it. You must discern the right thing, the wrong thing, what goes before, what goes behind, what goes above, and what goes below.
To determine the top, a prerequisite is needed. Unless one has determined the bottom, one does not know where the top is. It is confusion and chaos. The person who does not determine the bottom before determining the top is a mad person. He is a fool out of his mind. That is why one lives not knowing that there is a fundamental posture of the principle of heaven, that one must determine the bottom as a prerequisite before determining the top. It is a grave word.
What that crossed-over fact is, Chairman Moon, not letting it go, has walked his life searching out, and it has still not ended. (Reading continues: The moment of entering the spirit world is the time of blossoming the life of the earthly realm, bearing fruit, holding the ripe grain, and entering the world of rapture and victory. It is a moment to rejoice. It is a time to celebrate to one's heart's content and see oneself off. It is a time to shed not tears of sorrow but tears of joy. The Seonghwa ceremony is this holy and sublime a rite……)
Who knew that? When it is said Chairman Moon holds many rallies, why does he do this noisily, day and night? And, having told us to gather, what does he mean to say? We did not gather to say words unpleasant to hear, words one cannot know. The point is that we gathered to become fellow workers and comrades who, if a path that can be taught can be found, strive to open and develop that path together, cooperating among ourselves. It is a grateful word.
It is said that Chairman Moon is the first, the teacher, but I do not wish for that. (Reading continues: It is because it is the first step of returning to and attending God's bosom and going to enjoy eternal life. It is a time when one should tremble and be more excited at heart than when a bride comes to marry…
That which occurs only once in history, in hundreds of millions of ages, is the time of death. You—that time of death does not come twice. What will you do if you greet the time that everyone greets once, not knowing whether it is the most precious thing or a bad thing? I mean, what becomes of it if one prepares for a feast day not knowing whether it is a feast day or a funeral day, not knowing whether one's younger sister is marrying or the brother-in-law is coming seeking the younger sister? It becomes a problem.
To Save Korea
This is a rite. (Reading continues: To open the gate to such precious eternal life, I held a Seonghwa ceremony this past March 18 at the UN headquarters in New York for the world leaders who recently fell into eternal sleep……)
What is this again? If one held it, one held it—what relation does it have here that one comes all the way here and makes a fuss? It is no ordinary matter. Because there is a connection, I cannot cut it off either. That is why, to connect it, I cannot but do it even if I am cursed.
Even if the matter of dying and living hangs on it, if the nation prospers and the world develops because of the matter of one person dying and living that way, there remains a missional responsibility of having to do that work even if I die a hundred times.
If one cannot believe that, one is not even a person. (Reading continues: Beginning with former U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig, who once, during the Korean War, even saved my life by bombing the prison in which I was confined, and former President Kim Dae-jung of Korea, who received the Nobel Peace Prize……)
I had that person do it; the day before the encoffining, I said, “Go at once, stop the mourners, do the Seonghwa ceremony, and come back!” Had I not so commanded, he could not go up here.
Among national events, depending on personal circumstances, I even attended the Seonghwa ceremony as I pleased. I asked them to block it for even fifteen minutes and let me do the rite. Why did I do so? It was to save Korea.
Where do the Korean people go?
Where must I go? If even I cannot open the foundation that the nation cannot welcome, I am driven out and must flee. To save even the Unification Church, what must I unavoidably do, regardless of face? I am not an ignorant person. I am a clever person. Though it was being done as a national event, as a responsible religious person, I took responsibility, blocked it, and did that work. (Reading continues: Hédi Annabi, head of the UN service corps, and some hundred corps members who died in the line of duty in the recent great earthquake catastrophe in Haiti……)
That too — when I said, “The will of Heaven is thus, so if you wish, I will do a Seonghwa ceremony,” and they said to do it, so I hung up the signboard. Otherwise, if I hung up the UN's signboard and said a word, where would Chairman Moon go? They might throw me in prison, and a rumor might spread that all the peoples of the world should rise and beat Chairman Moon to death, so that I could not come out to this place and might vanish. I am doing such a fearsome antic. (Reading continues: Carazo, former president of Costa Rica, widely known to the world as the president of peace……)
This person is close to me. Carazo comes if told to come and goes if told to go. (Reading continues: Former President Wahid, who devoted his body all his life to Indonesia, a great nation of over two hundred million people, even with a disabled body……) This person too is so, is he not? As a religious person, he is one who respected and heard my words more than the words of Muhammad.
They are not people I met just casually. (Reading continues: They are former Iceland Prime Minister Hermannsson, who arranged the meeting of former Soviet President Gorbachev and former U.S. President Reagan and together rendered merit in ending the Cold War; Hassan Cissé of Senegal, who was respected as a representative scholar of the Islamic realm; and Ambassador Singhvi, who was praised by 1.1 billion Indians as an “ambassador of reconciliation and peace”……)
A Grave Story
However many there are, I cannot summon and set them up here and do as I please, can I?
Only after fitting everything front and back did I summon and respond, so I set them up here. You must know what kind of place this is. This is the only place where the five great saints are present and the meritorious subjects of nation after nation take part; this time they are greeted once in several thousand or several tens of thousands of years — one cannot invite just anyone.
So, it is not a place where, sitting, you can stretch your legs because it is uncomfortable or cross your legs and treat it carelessly. So, Chairman Moon is a grave person. (Reading continues: Leaders……)
Since it said “leaders,” do not be sorry that such people are remembered, but because they are especially people renowned in Korea, you must think it is grateful that Chairman Moon summoned them.
If money were received, it is a place one cannot attend even if given several tens of thousands of dollars.
If you were told to offer several thousand dollars each in this place, would you? There is no answer! (Laughter.) Are you not a cheap lot? In my case, I could have given several hundred thousand dollars, or several hundred million, or several ten billion, but what use is a lot that bows its head in fear that it might be said to be a thousand dollars or several thousand dollars? What use is a lot that cannot furnish a confident posture of raising the head, thrusting out the chest, and saying, “Look at me!” — This is the point.
Now that it has passed, forget the past time, and let us, with the gumption that can be of use even at this time, thrust out our chests and boast once! At this point, applaud. (Applause.) Even mobilizing the masses this way, do you know that the people who attend and receive a reward enter the position of patriot and that their names are recorded when patriotic meritorious subjects are sought? (Reading continues: True Parents, who came holding the “Heavenly Person” who will take responsibility for the eternal life of 6.5 billion humankind—the time has come when there is no path to live without following Reverend Moon's teaching……)
The point is, since all die, now try dying. They say the word that the path to the spirit world is blocked is not a fact, so the point is, try dying.
If it is actually so, what will you do?
Before dying, one must take notice, and if that work has not been done, one must correct it. To do so, only by being thankful even if one gives up all one's property and right of possession and falls to being a nameless person — only by being able to be thankful even if one becomes the chief of beggars — can one cross over such a place.
The point is, try dying to see whether that is a lie. When you die and find it is a fact, what will you do? Will you, at that time, say, “Chairman Moon's words are right”? At that time, you cannot even meet me. It is a finished matter. It is such a grave story. (Reading continues: All of you — it is a time to bring out Reverend Moon's name to all under heaven, to boast and praise it……)
There are many people who, coming here, come glancing about, wondering whether anyone is watching me, whether there is anyone from the denomination or the party watching and taking note. The point is that they are walking a path without confidence.
If anyone can raise a hand and say, “Chairman Moon, do not say such words! I am dignified,” let him speak. If I ask a question, he will not be able to answer even three words.
Does it seem that Reverend Moon, who survived even being cursed in the advanced nations of the world, like Britain, America, France, Japan, Germany, and Italy, would shrink fearing you, Korea? I am telling you openly. If there is anything to say, say it. (Reading continues: All of you — it is a time to bring out Reverend Moon's name to all under heaven, to boast and praise it……)
The point is to bring out and boast of anything. Can you not speak fearing the opposition party or the ruling party?
I went to America's Republican and Democratic parties and did all manner of things. The point is to test the words I said: “If you do not heed my words and cannot repent, when you die, you go to hell. Try dying in this place and see whether you go directly to hell or not!” One goes to hell.
The point is, can you, going there at that time, say, “Oh dear, I did not know”? The law does not permit it. (Reading continues: Respecting and being handed down the tradition and spirit of the Korean people, in whom the True Parents appeared, establishing the tradition of Heaven so that the UN and 6.5 billion of humankind become one, raising high the banner of handing down the ideology of the holy citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven to everyone through the Seonghwa ceremony, the liberation of God……)
One Must Boast of the Liberation of God
One must boast of the liberation of God. Not to mention the liberation of humanity — how can those who could not even save their mother and father liberate God and liberate their family? They cannot. The point is that it is not simple. (Reading continues: May it become a holy rite celebrating the liberation of humanity……)
Who is wishing it? Chairman Moon, who becomes God and the True Parents, is doing it. He prays again to do it this way. The point is that he is praying, hoping you will strive more. (Reading continues: And so, completing the family ideal rooted in true love, one must open the world of an age of great peace and tranquility, in which God and the human being, and the heavenly spirit world and the earthly physical world, are completely unified……)
It is an age of great peace and tranquility with no obstruction anywhere. However wide all under heaven is said to be, it refers to a world that has become a level ground, a single horizontal road. Since it said, “One must open the world to an age of great peace and tranquility,” the point is to spread one's hand over all under heaven without difficulty, as one pleases, and shout so that the mountain echo does not end at the far end. I did so.
The eighty million people could heed it if they would and not if they would not, but I shouted, devoting a twenty-four-hour life. Today, too, when I prayed, I prayed with the authority over life and death. Bathing in sweat and praying until my breath choked, I do not know how many thousands of times I negotiated and settled accounts. I said Korea would not perish, and having believed it and seen it, it did not perish. (Reading continues: Shall we not all offer applause of gratitude to God the Father, who bestowed such precious life upon us, without cost, as grace……?) (Applause.)
It is not that I ask you to applaud gratefully for Chairman Moon. It is God. God has not yet been liberated. The point is that the God who governs night and day, the one Owner, has not been liberated. It is of that that I speak. (Reading continues: Looking around at any field — religion, politics, education, culture, thought — not only individuals but even groups are sunk in the swamp of extreme egoistic obstinacy, thoroughly shutting and barring their doors. The point is that it has fallen into a world of non-communication, with no communication……)
Chairman Moon is making a fuss in Korea to make communication, but there is not a single person who comes seeking me and asks. There is not a single person who, even paying a tuition of several hundred million won or several tens of millions of won, would hear my words, who, anxious for the nation and anxious for humanity, asks. So they are good-for-nothing people responsible. If anyone resists that, let him oppose me. Now I will not leave it be.
I have all manner of power. I receive reports on the top secrets of the Japanese army. I simply do not speak of it; I receive reports even on the secrets of the CIA, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and the KGB, the State Security Committee of the former Soviet Union. Shall I speak of that? The point is to know that I am not a fellow who flows along dreaming. (Reading continues: In the end, all the problems of humanity can only be solved by the thought of “one family under God,” that is, the teaching of true love that we, this couple, received from Heaven and advocated and taught all our lives……)
There is no other path. If there were another path, would I tell such a story? Knowing it is a discourtesy to tell such a story in a public setting, I bring it out and do it because there is no other path. Now it is the final round. (Reading continues: This thought alone can find the path of peace and happiness for humanity……) Do you understand?
Even the people who were indifferent to this path, having an interest from today—let those who wish to study, staking their lives, raise their hands and applaud while I close my eyes. (Applause.) Try it. Before you know it, Chairman Moon goes seeking you and teaches you. That one whom you do not know comes seeking, day and night, and teaches. The formless God did not know Chairman Moon, but having later come to know him, He showed all the work Chairman Moon is to do. He teaches until before death.
True Love, Even When Burned, Does Not Burn
The God I know is the Owner of true love, and there is nowhere in this world a being that can burn true love. The God of true love does not burn even in the burning of several hundred billion degrees.
The God who is the Owner of true love can breathe and live for hundreds of millions of generations, even at a temperature several hundred times that of the sun. This I say for the first time. I must reveal this work today, in my house.
What becomes of Chairman Moon even if he goes into the midst of the sun, which is several hundred billion degrees?
There one prepares the path by which one can, naked, eat and live together with God. So he teaches it all, even to people who do not know Chairman Moon. The point is, though one did not try to know, he goes seeking and teaches. Why is that?
The angels, too, helped God's work, and a being that can become the elder brother and father better than the archangel can create the world. It is because he has learned it all, you see. The invisible God became a harmonized being of dual characteristics, and what happened?
Adam and Eve themselves were born as a twin pair. Furnishing the form of a person, borrowing the body of the True Parents, the true sperm of God and the egg of the true wife of God join, and the seed comes into being. But from the day God's sperm set out, it has never yet settled.
The temperature when the archangel loves and the temperature when Adam loves differ. Furthermore, the speed differs. So Chairman Moon's seeing and hearing the invisible world differs from yours. It is because the temperature and the speed differ. The temperature of the archangel's position and Adam's position, and again of Adam's position and God's position, differ.
Until everyone receives the Blessing and those sons and daughters command all the people, the temperature differs. You must know that true love does not burn up in the fire of creation.
That is why, if one holds a mind that yearns for and loves Chairman Moon, one forgets to eat, forgets to sleep, and it all becomes visible.
So, what is it that is great about the Unification Church?
It does not heed anyone's word. Even if the nation opposes, even if Satan comes for hundreds of millions of ages, one kicks him away with the foot. If one kicks with the foot, he goes to the place that kicking force reaches and vanishes.
True love cannot burn any object of creation. The objects of creation must follow it. Chairman Moon, too, even going to a place of several hundred quintillion degrees, a hundred times, a thousand times higher than the temperature of the sun of more than three hundred million degrees, does not burn when he becomes the incarnate body of true love. So he exists eternally.
So, going to any world as he pleases, he can live holding his posture and discerning all the ways of the principle of heaven. So the logic that one lives eternally fits.
In Buddhism, too, one speaks of completion, but it is impossible before cutting the source of the fallen bloodline and lifeline. Holding the right of possession, you think yourself the foremost, do you not? That will not do. Say “Na-ke-mu-a!” Rather than “Namu Amita Bul,” it is “Na-ke-mu-a.” Why is the character “or (或)” written inside a square (囗) in the character “nation (國)”? The point is, think of it however you like.
That “Na-ke-mu-”a”—digging out oneself, entering the state of selflessness, and opening one's eyes—all the world is seen. Say “Na-ke-mu-a!” Na-ke-mu-a! One must reach that state. So even being in prison is hard, one says, “Na-ke-mu-a!” — The point is to invest oneself and dig.
If one discovers oneself and crosses into the state of selflessness, one does not burn. The things that burned all burned up and vanished, and because only I remained, when I, before God, say “Father!” and that Father asks, “So, how did you come here?” one can only explain, “Coming along, I came this far.” One must enter that world of saying, “You know why you ask.” The point is that true love, even when burned, does not burn.
One Must Put In Sincere Devotion
Today I said an important word. (Reading continues: In the end, all the problems of humanity can only be solved by the thought of “one family under God,” that is, the teaching of true love that we, this couple, received from Heaven and advocated and taught all our lives. This thought alone can find the path of peace and happiness for humanity……)
Why is that? It is because, though created objects all burn, what I have found can emit light even in the midst of darkness. (Reading continues: You—this era we live in today is a great turning point of history. It is a great revolutionary period in which we must change history, make the spirit world and the earthly realm one, and found the ideal heaven God wished for from the very beginning. There is no time to postpone or extend any longer. I have proclaimed January 13, 2013, as “Foundation Day”……)
It is made by the one God, who becomes the Owner of night and day, and the True Parents, who become the True Parents, becoming one. (Reading continues: All the good spirits of the spirit world are mobilized in full and are running a step ahead of you……)
So that the descendants do not perish, from now on, everyone resolves firmly, and what must be done about those who do not heed? However much they believe in the Unification Church, when the ancestors see, they open the door of the path of the Unification Church and cooperate; if one blocks their cooperation, they take one away.
Watch from now on. Many dreamlike things happen. (Reading continues: You—God raised and prepared the Korean people through several thousand years. Two thousand years ago, He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth, and you too will know well the history by which He sought to save humanity again through him.
The point is that because the ancestors who lived in the spirit world come and cooperate, they all know. They are not ignorant. They all know. The point is that the time to know has come. One must put in sincere devotion. That is why, when Chuseok comes, you hear the news that up to thirty million are mobilized, do you not? It is more than half. More than half are mobilized and making a stir.
That much is the matter of the grave. (Reading continues: But the result ended all too wretchedly. The leaders of Judaism and the people of Israel, who should have accepted Jesus as the Messiah and gone the path of absolute faith and absolute obedience, rather drove him onto the path of the cross, did they not? Did they kill him, or did he die? 「They killed him.」
When he took the three disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane and prayed three times, how was it? When he prayed three times, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me! Yet not as I will, but as You will,” the disciples dozed.
What relation did they have to Jesus?
Peter also denied him three times. They all fled, and not one remained. (Reading continues: The Korean people are a heaven-descended people who have lived from of old, revering God as the highest, supreme ancestor among ancestors……)
Korean people do not perish. Chairman Moon was victorious in the Communist world and the democratic world. He swallowed both at once. (Reading continues: Such sublime traditions are not mere events that appeared in history by chance.
They were the providence of the foundation for Heaven to prepare this people and to set up the Messiah upon that tradition. And so at last, riding the spirit of this Korean peninsula, the manifestation of Reverend Moon, who was sealed from Heaven as the True Parents of humanity and the King of Kings, was realized……) (Applause.)
Even Things of Creation Have Heart
It is not that Reverend Moon, being outstanding, became this way. The point is that God made it this way. I, too, am a person like you. Until today, I am one who has opposed myself for not having done my responsibility that Heaven told me to do. “Do you know that all the things you have passed through were not left as historical prophecy but were practiced as fact?” “I know. I have seen.” “Since you have seen, I know that you too, when you come to die, cannot die departing from a place like His—so what will you do?” Even so, can I not make the declaration at the last?
I came forth to declare today. There is nothing to hide. The point is to bring it out and question and answer openly. I answer everything. (Reading continues: If one examines the flow of human history with a providential eye, the change of eras is broadly divided into three stages.
The first is the era of the heart of material……) Objects, even the things of creation, have heart, it said. They have heart. The stamen (oshibe) and the pistil (meshibe) — do you know that they match a pair with each other and hold a wedding ceremony?
Even objects have a heart. Even things like a dog or a horse do not mate with the fourth cousin or the eighth cousin. Find that out. Heaven taught me so, you see. (Reading continues: What is there to hesitate over? Upon the heaven of your creation, the blessing will be with you……)
The character “celebrate (祝)” of blessing shows the elder brother, and the character “blessing (福)” refers, on the side of the “show radical (示),” to the great mouth above the universe of east, west, south, and north. It is horizontal. The point is that in the age of great peace and tranquility, it is horizontal everywhere.
That is why, when anyone is to build a three-dimensional building, one must fit the vertical and horizontal and build. Otherwise, one cannot build. When building a house, when laying out the house lot, does one fit the vertical standard first or the horizontal standard first? Looking at that, one can know. (Reading continues: That is, it is the era of the priority of material in a material-centered manner. And second is the era of the heart of man, that is, the era of human-centeredness, which governed the world by putting forward human knowledge and emotion……)
It is emotion. The character “feel (感)” of emotion is a mind (心) below the character “all/complete (咸),” a mind that does its utmost. (Reading continues: The era of putting up an absolute standard upon the foundation sanctified in both inner and outer aspects through the Blessing, and of having to go the path of a life of living for the sake of others, the last-stage era, is the era of the heart of Heaven……) No one can cut off the position of the parent and the position of the son, which can only give and give again, give and give eternally. It is of that that I speak.
When the parents go to that world and pray before God to save their sons and daughters, God is not one to kick that away. Even in death, wherever the sons and daughters are, He goes seeking, and, if there is God or anyone better, He grasps them and asks them to save them. That is why in the Unification Church, there is a path that saves even Satan; the devil opens here.
It is the heart of Heaven. With the heart of man, it will not do. (Reading continues: That is, please bear in mind, and bear in mind again, that the very era we live in today is the time that is opening the era of Cheon Il Guk, which returns to the heart (심정) of the one God……) One adds while turning. You come into the Unification Church and say you will lean on the Unification Church, do you not? You say you will detract from Chairman Moon; there is no one who says they will help Chairman Moon. That will not do.
From now on, one must follow to add. (Reading continues: When the era of substantial Cheon Il Guk unfolds, the “Yeong-Yeon-Se Association” stands on this earth in the position of the central axis……) The “Yeong-Yeon-Se Association,” in which the spirit world and the world are connected, unfolds.
The character “cooperate (協)” of association has, beside the cross (十), a great force (力) and two small forces (力) set as a pair. It is that, beside the cross, the great force, God, and Cain and Abel have become one, and the point is that such a “Yeong-Yeon-Se Association” comes forth. I announced it when that time came. (Reading continues: It will at last govern all creation……)
If One Holds True Love, One Does Not Burn
The point is that one enters at last an era in which God can furnish His posture and govern all things of heaven and earth. One changes abruptly into an unimaginable world of change. (Reading continues: You must now live a life of carving Reverend Moon's teaching into your bones and practicing it. There is no room for choice. It is because, if you do not prepare from now, you will surely become a straggler……)
At the time of Noah, all eight household members were judged. In Sodom and Gomorrah, because there were not five righteous people, all vanished into the pit of fire. And it is the same as Moses's twelve disciples, who entered Canaan holding the dream of settlement, spied it out, and came back, but only two survived. (Reading continues: We too must learn the courage and spirit of the demoiselle crane, which crosses back and forth over the Himalaya range of more than seven thousand meters and winters there……)
The thing called the demoiselle crane fits the climate within the year and crosses over in a flock. Among them, there are old demoiselle cranes and young demoiselle cranes, and when one falls behind, the eagle catches and eats that falling demoiselle crane. The point is that one must fit that time, wait, and then cross over. The members of the Unification Church are exactly so now.
Because one does not know when such a time will come, one must fit that, and one must not but move fitting that time. (Reading continues: “Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Collected Speeches,” “Exposition of the Divine Principle,” “Cheon Seong Gyeong,” “Family Pledge,” “Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong,” “True Family, the Gate to Heaven,” “The Owner of Peace, the Owner of Lineage,” and “World Scripture”—the eight kinds of books. These textbooks are books you must read and study even after entering the spirit world. They are not words or teachings that came out of the human brain……)
That Chairman Moon now speaks unaware is because my body knows. I know whether the spirit is speaking, whether it is speaking spiritually. I know at once. The point is that I know without fail. So I am not an ordinary person. The point is that I know it from the standard of one who has attained the Way. (Reading continues: You must now first establish the tradition of the Hoon Dok Hae centering on your family. It is to establish the tradition in which one family, three generations, as it begins a new day, first does Hoon Dok of the Word of Heaven and, with a new mind, practices a life of Hoon Dok. It is to make a world in which the spirit world and the physical world, simultaneously attending the True Parents, do Hoon Dok of the same Word of the heavenly way……)
The Hoon Dok Hae I do at Cheon Jeong Gung is set to be heard from anywhere in the world. Now, within a month, that work will all be finished. It is set so that one cannot help but hear it. And so, in any nation, the people who have heard this must pass the test when they sit for a worldwide test.
(Reading continues: You — last year, my autobiography, which contains my life with candor, was published. Through this book, I show in detail where the will of Heaven for humanity is and where the path we human beings, as children, must walk. Cho Bu Deuk Sam……)
The point is that if one does not succeed the first time, one succeeds the third time. Because of the fall, what would have become this way became this way, so that one corrects this the third time is Cho Bu Deuk Sam (初不得三). (Reading continues: I said that the life of settlement at noon is a life that makes no shadow.
If all of us become light-emitting bodies and live a life of giving light, there is no gap for a shadow to form. The one who receives is the one who incurs debt. All of you must now live a life that has become the light-emitting body of eternal true love, wiping the tears of the pitiful and the poor and brightening dark places……)
The point is that you do not become a person who enters where created things burn and burn up, as it is said, “Please live a life that has become a light-emitting body.” I hope you become a person who emits light in the midst of it and does not burn. (Reading continues: Please be in good health and live a life that receives the love of Heaven, so that when we meet again, we may return greater honor and glory to God. I wish that the blessing of God, the King of kings, be with you and your families and your nation. Thank you.) (Applause.)
Even entering the midst of the fire of several hundred million degrees, if one holds true love, one does not burn. Likewise, naked, body to body that does not burn—having been unclothed in the Garden of Eden and then, having fallen, having put on clothes, throwing off what was put on, one must be able to live together for hundreds of millions of years in that place. One must live the life of such a Kingdom of Heaven, in which three generations live unclothed together and yet do not know shame. The point is that one must not burn.
