Opening the way for CARP
To transfer to Korea True Parents' worldwide victorious realm, as well as connect it to the worldwide peace movement and North-South unification, True Mother went on a speaking tour to 40 Korean university campuses from October 4-31, 1993.
This tour alleviated the contentious relationships between CARP and political activist groups on campuses, provided an opportunity for mutual understanding and dialogue, and led to a series of seminars and exchanges of professors and students from both Koreas.
1. The question of who will lead the young people in the future is a global one. The first generation of Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years and died there.
The world has now reached an era similar to the time when the second generation of Israelites entered Canaan and found what they had hoped for. The surviving second generation had to construct a nation and a world with a philosophy of nation-building and world peace and accomplish what the first generation of the Israelite tribes could not.
The Unification Church must restore this through indemnity. All these issues depend on women. They depend on mothers, who play an important role.
(259-287, 1994/04/17)
2. From now on, mothers have to properly educate their children. The Israelite mothers who entered the land of Canaan, as well as their sons and daughters, were influenced by the people who were already there. Unable to preserve their religious traditions, they failed to establish the kingdom in Israel.
To restore this through indemnity, mothers have to imbue the traditional ideas of our church into the second generation so that they will establish heaven on earth instead of being influenced by Satan's world.
This will reverse the failures of the past. After mothers and their children become one, how do they establish the kingdom in Israel? That is their mission. The Israelite mothers failed to think about this.
They, together with their sons and daughters, followed in the footsteps of the seven tribes of Canaan. That was their grave mistake.
We must go the opposite way. Mothers, sons, and daughters must unite in establishing the heavenly kingdom. Mothers have to educate their children so that they can influence their university communities.
Hence, after women of the world become second selves of True Mother, they must turn their children around 180 degrees, even if they have to hold onto them and not let them go.
To achieve that, you have to do the same as True Mother, who went on a speaking tour of 256 venues over the two years following 1992. You have to save your relatives and your nation.
This is not some vague notion but a real problem. What is real is that I fought for 40 years searching for a heavenly nation. I gave speeches in the United States to pass the baton to Mother, who went on to influence the university communities. Mothers have to rescue the second generation, their offspring. (259-327, 1994/04/24)
3. Centering on Mother, CARP is in the position of Abel, and the political activists on university campuses are in the position of Cain. Mother must manage the dispute between Cain and Abel.
The rightwing and leftwing activists of South Korea have to unite and stand in the Abel position, and then unite with North Korean students, who are in Cain's position.
Then all will end well. It does not matter how much people in positions of authority oppose this. On the day when the young people unite with Mother, the fortune of unification will visit this land.
We have no choice but to do this, as herein lies the fortune of heaven. Now is the time to light an unquenchable fire in their young, glowing hearts.
(267-239, 1995/01/08)
4. Mother delivered speeches to the US Congress and the United Nations General Assembly and received resounding ovations. The United Nations is the congress of the free world. She also achieved great victories in the Eve nation, Japan.
On Korean university campuses, political activist groups had kicked out CARP, but Mother turned the situation around all over the country. This was the restoration of the elder son's birthright. Although previously Christians had united with campus activists to defeat the Unification Church, the situation has now been reversed.
The right has become the left, and the left has become the right. By siding with the Unification Church, former communist powers are coming to the heavenly side. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first. (274-291, 1995/11/03)
5. Mother shouldered a great responsibility when she had to stand on the front line for three years, from 1992 until 1995. The number 3 is several separations from Satan. That was the separation period, starting in America and progressing to the United Nations, to Japan, and to the world.
She went on a speaking tour of 40 universities throughout Korea, connecting them to 40 nations in the world. They represented Cain and Abel centering on Parents. Finally, on the world level, Mother stood in a position equal to me. I had passed on all my victories to Mother.
At the end of World War II the world did not welcome me but chased me out, but now in the second course for the dispensation of restoration, the True Family was welcomed worldwide. This restored it through indemnity. (275-278, 1996/01/01)
6. From now on, you have to focus on witnessing your family and relatives, middle and high school students, and college students. Now is the age of the second generation. The people of Israel turned a deaf ear to Moses. Before the landing in Canaan, Moses and all of the first-generation people perished.
However, I have landed together with the second generation. This land belongs to the second generation, so I feel responsible for them. Mother and the sons and daughters of True Parents' family are conducting a speaking tour not only of 100 universities in the United States but also of 3,300 universities throughout the world.
Starting in Japan, I must bring together all the world's students. It is my responsibility to win the hearts of young people from age 16, when Adam and Eve fell, to 21 and, adding another three years, to 24. The time for this has come.
(260-088, 1994/04/11)
7. The Unification Church stands in the position of Abel to other churches. Thus, Christianity cannot invade the victorious Unification Church, which has reclaimed the elder son's birthright.
Their position is similar to that of Esau, who could not strike Jacob because he had wrestled with the angel at the ford of the Jabbok River and subjugated him.
Mother delivered a speech at the US Congress and also reached out to embrace university communities in Korea. CARP had been forcefully expelled from some universities by student activists, but Mother turned this around and CARP was reinstated.
She spoke at 40 universities at a time when the North-South relationship was sour; it was a case of Abel seeking Cain. With the end of opposition to CARP, things began to change on the campuses. Mother knew it was a very difficult task, but she urged CARP members on.
Based on Cain's uniting with Abel, South Korean students saw an opportunity to hold exchange programs with North Korean students. Beginning with the International Student Leaders' Seminar in Moscow, CARP sponsored Korean university student leaders' training seminars in Washington and a North-South Korean university students' seminar in Beijing. Empowered by the name of True Parents,
CARP took the lead in guiding North Korean students, who were in the Cain position, as well as South Korean student activists. (270-206, 1995/06/01)
8. Mother conducted a speaking tour of 40 Korean university campuses to inspire college students. We must educate the political activists on university campuses. I intend to take them to Russia for 21-day workshops. We have many Unification Church members there.
We will take them to Moscow for just three weeks of education and show them around, and then they will all go back home. If we gather students from North Korea, South Korea, Russia, and China, we will be able to form a federation that can confront communist ideology in Asia.
Communism is doomed to collapse, anyway. It has already collapsed in Russia, and that is happening in China as well. We are going to teach them Unification Thought, which is a counterproposal to communism.
We need to pave the way for North Korean students. This will be the quickest way. From the providential viewpoint, students from the Korean Peninsula represent Cain and Abel, and when they unite, their parents will unite as well.
(248-229, 1993/10/01)
9. Mother's speeches at 40 Korean universities were meant to separate the student social activists from the Christians and persuade the activists to unite with us.
From the perspective of providential history, this is required in the indemnity course. With Mother at the center, CARP students and student political activists must lay the foundation again on college campuses.
If student social activists in South Korea are regarded as being in Abel's position, those in North Korea are in Cain's position. South Korean student political activists appear red externally but are white internally. In contrast, North Korean students are ted, inside and out.
We are taking South Korean student political activists and North Korean students to Moscow and training them. Pro-North Korean and pro-South Korean students in Japan will also participate in the workshops.
Students from the United States, China, and the former Soviet Union will band together with the South Korean students, and as a group, they will assimilate the students from North Korea.
We have done our best to inform the North about these workshops. In Moscow, we are organizing the Youth Federation for World Peace. An international youth movement that transcends ideologies is unfolding.
You should not rely on CARP alone to do it. As we do not have a foundation in society, you have to gather and unite college alumni. Alumni and current students have a Cain-Abel relationship.
Things can only progress rapidly if you bind together several groups and set up an organization to undertake large-scale worldwide activity. This is why Mother, the Women's Federation for World Peace, and the Students' Federation need to be in unity. (252-283, 1994/01/01)
Movement on campuses
True Parents continued to spread the teachings of the Unification movement among college students and young people who did not have any experiences of war.
The Student Federation for the Unification of North and South Korea and the Professors and Students Federation for the Unification of North and South Korea were established on May 15, 1986, and October 11, 1986, respectively. They kicked off a vigorous movement for unification with True Parents at the center.
True Parents conveyed to university professors and students the exact ideological map for North-South unification.
10. Now is the time of the second generation, the time to gather the young people together. Who will bring them together and educate them about our new worldview?
Surely there is no organization in Korea to educate them that we can see. This is a realistic fact of history.
This is why we have to mobilize the Professors and Students Federation for the Unification of North and South Korea. This is something that has never before been done. Its purpose is to unite Cain and Abel in vertical relationships.
The teacher-student relationship and the parent-child relationship are vertical Cain-Abel relationships. The time has come for us to push forward with an effective system. (162-148, 1987/04/09)
11. The unification of North and South Korea is impossible without me. After professors and students unite, we must connect them to society's leaders, and solidify the young people of the second generation.
There should be rallies in large convention centers in each area to unite young people. They have to form organizations and become one. This is why I set up the Professors and Students Federation for the Unification of North and South Korea.
I want professors and students around the nation to unite. Never before in human history has such an organization existed, but now one has emerged based on my work. (162-314, 1987/04/17)
12. Professors gathered at the Hannam-dong house on January 24, 1986, and made a new resolution before embarking on this activity of service to society. They left their mark on history by lecturing to the public in 166 locations on February 17 and 18.
Five months later, scholars from around the world joined you to ignite the fire of the historic new truth in 203 regions in Korea. This mobilization of prominent scholars to the front line was an amazing feat that will remain a remarkable record in the history of humankind.
The name of the organization that made this possible is the Professors and Students Federation for the Unification of North and South Korea. I have very high hopes for it. (148-255, 1986/10/11)
13. In February 1986, I held a national-level seminar with professors who were members of the Professors World Peace Academy. It was an event proclaiming that the foremost intellectuals have united with me.
Through these professors, I will educate all the professors in other parts of Korea. When I am teaching them, they should not oppose but rather welcome my teachings. By doing so, everyone from the highly educated professors to the uneducated country folk will stand in unity.
When the country, on the Cain side, stands with the Unification Church, on the Abel side, focusing on the IFVOC, the government will have no choice but to follow the Unification Church. When this is accomplished, the whole world will start helping us unify Korea.
You have to unite as a complete national organization, centering on the Unification Church and the IFVOC, and accomplish the unification of Korea. As we have created the environment in which everything can be united on God's side in South Korea, we have to assimilate the Cain realm on Satan's side.
Now, starting from South Korea, I have set up a protective fence that can encompass America, Japan, and even China. (143-135, 1986/03/17)
14. By establishing the Professors and Students Federation for the Unification of North and South Korea, I have bound professors and students together. Students in Korea were staging demonstrations, demanding democratization and stirring up a commotion.
To resolve this crisis, we delivered lectures on the current situation. We faced fierce opposition from student political activists crying out for democratization, and even Christians joined hands with them to oppose us.
Therefore, the Professors and Students Federation for the Unification of North and South Korea must step forward to educate college students and the general public. The ultimate goal is to reach out to people in every district.
What will determine the outcome of this battle? The young second generation must be mobilized to bring the first-generation people together. This is the same as the Israelites who entered Canaan after 40 years and built a nation centered on the second generation.
That is why the second generation has to take the lead in nation-building. The place for this is on university campuses. The second generation consists of university students and middle and high school students. We have to bring together young adults.
The second generation must unite with their professors. This is the vertical Cain-Abel relationship.
Siblings are in a horizontal Cain-Abel relationship. That is why the Professors and Students Federation for the Unification of North and South Korea has to become one both vertically and horizontally. They will not be able to exert any influence unless they are united. (165-114, 1987/05/20)
15. Since the beginning of 1994, student political activists have been staging demonstrations, influenced by religious circles. We have to counter these political activist groups through CARP, thereby restoring the authority of the elder son. Student political activist groups have recently been helping CARP to register with universities.
I was the one who organized the International Student Leaders Seminar for World Peace in Moscow in February, and in Beijing in June. I was also the one who moved Kim Il-sung to let North Korean students participate so that they could meet South Korean students. Such a meeting could never have taken place without my help. I am the only one making progress toward the unification of Korea.
All this time, attempts by the North Korean students and representatives of the Korean Federation of Student Councils had failed. I was the one who made it possible. I am leading the work of unification.
Now that I have created a foundation transcending the nation on which students can rally to unify Korea, they will have no choice but to support it. CARP branches are being re-registered on 200 more campuses. Our activities are booming even louder than those of the Communist Party. (265-159, 1994/11/20)
Youth Federation for World Peace
With participants from 163 nations, the inaugural assembly of the Youth Federation for World Peace was held in Washington, DC, on July 26, 1994. The Youth Federation for World Peace, which registered as a social organization in Korea on February 22, 1995, transcends leftwing and rightwing viewpoints and aims to build harmony and cultivate altruism.
It made a great contribution to promoting exchanges among young people through activities such as a series of peace seminars in Beijing, where North Korean students participated.
The Federation has branches around the world that carry out activities, including campaigns for youth purity and education on preventing AIDS.
16. It was in February of 1994 that the International Student Leaders Seminar for World Peace was held in Moscow. At that time everyone told me, "It's too cold. We cannot do it until spring." I responded,
"What does it matter if it is winter when the nation is about to perish? The fall of a nation does not stop just because it's winter. It does not matter how cold Moscow is. We must hurry. We must hold the Beijing rally before the 6th month of the lunar calendar.
Otherwise, I foresee great trouble." The establishment of The Youth Federation for World Peace was also scheduled for June of that year, but it was delayed for about one month, until July 26, 1994.
We gave lectures at 3,000 American universities. We brought them into the CARP network. Korea should also work to include its 200 universities in the CARP network.
The goal is the unification of Korea. It will not happen through just the students of North and South Korea. It cannot be accomplished unless we also mobilize the students of America, the Soviet Union, China, and Japan. (262-176, 1994/07/23)
17. Alexander Haig, the former US Secretary of State, gave a speech at the inaugural assembly of the Youth Federation for World Peace. I invited him to my room to have a conversation.
I told him, "I am trying to create a Youth Federation for World Peace by educating students at top American universities and intelligent young scholars from the Soviet Union. Please cooperate with me." He answered like a true soldier, saying that he would be willing to do so.
So now I am making plans for this. I am trying to create parallel youth groups in these nations that represent the free and communist worlds, which have been engaged in an ideological war.
They can spread these teachings to universities around the world during their vacations. If this reaches the world level, and if newspapers in various nations publish their letters of reflection, more college students will flock to this cause. We then will be able to create a world federation of young people and university students in the top universities around the world. (226-241, 1992/02/05)
18. All university students, high school and middle school students, aged 17 and older will join the Youth Federation for World Peace. That is why we are carrying out this work on university campuses.
The Women's Federation members must visit the universities, middle schools, and high schools that their sons and daughters attend, and they must educate the students. They must take care of the second generation.
Accordingly, after the Women's Federation reaches the forefront, they must engage in philosophical education activities in middle and high schools and universities, and reach the entire Christian cultural realm. (255-069, 1994/03/05)
19. There are many prominent figures between the ages of 45 and 50, who have graduated from college and are active in society. When we can win them over, everything will be solved. University students are still tied to their families horizontally.
We now have to bind together students of all ages, making them one vertically. Then members of society and university graduates have to unite on the national level to connect to the world.
In other words, students in elementary, middle, and high schools and universities are still tied to their mothers' bosoms and live within the boundaries of their families.
University graduates are in the bosom of their country. The process is vertical.
Students in elementary, middle, and high schools and universities are the foundation of the nation.
The Youth Federation for World Peace will have to bring them together on a worldwide foundation. In this way, we have to lead the nations of the world.
To achieve this, we must witness second-generation young people. Therefore, members of the Unification Church around the world should focus their witnessing on university campuses. After that, they have to expand their activities to the alumni associations. I believe this is the shortest way for us to save the world. (262-311, 1994/08/01)
20. Members of the Youth Federation for World Peace have to inherit from True Parents the traditions linking the families, nations, world, and cosmos and lay the foundation for building heaven on earth.
They should be exemplary in all environments, thereby preserving the positive development of history. Connecting to the three stages of life, they must establish linear, vertical traditions in their lives.
The three periods of a person's life are referred to as youth, middle age, and old age. You have to gain the trust of the older generation and be a model for the younger generation.
Young people should not abandon their old homes or schools, but as the fruits of a new family and a new system of education, they must take responsibility for their families and society as teachers.
They must fulfill the ideal of heaven in their families and dedicate their lives to substantiating a moral world. By becoming role models whose minds and bodies are united, they must always pursue the public good. (262-320, 1994/08/01)
21. The Youth Federation for World Peace is becoming an important organization. Young people are recent graduates, so they are still close to their schools. When they move out into society, they should be exemplary graduates worthy of praise, and form organizations that their younger college friends can take pride in.
The alumni and CARP members must attain oneness, and reach out to fellow students and alumni. If there is an alum living in their village, they should educate him or her to raise the cultural level and living standard of the village. Thorough education that can confront leftwing ideology must also be implemented. As we are facing a showdown with North Korea, we will be waging ideological warfare.
Ideological struggle is inevitable even after unification. We must prepare. We have to speed up our education to combat communism. (261-253, 1994/06/19)
22. There is no way to renew and develop the nation except through the re-education of its youth and the establishment of family ethics. That is why I am planning to open a UN university.
I am planning to create a university alliance and invite the presidents of the prominent religious-affiliated universities to visit Kodiak at this time, where I will help them organize a consistent educational system. They should
nurture world leaders by conferring degrees in strategic disciplines. The Youth Federation for World Peace aims to produce leaders who represent God and are capable of transcending racial, ethnic, and national boundaries to reform the world. (262-114, 1994/07/23)
23. I founded the Youth Federation for World Peace to stand at the forefront for the cause of the salvation of humankind. I will do my utmost with all my passion to teach young people to love God, their family,y and their country, and to live with the highest moral standards.
More specifically, I will create an international education highway by linking the Professors World Peace Academy by satellite. This will provide the best educational opportunities for all young people in the world. I urge all of you here today, from 164 nations, to join a program that trains young people to restore their spirituality and morality.
On behalf of the Youth Federation for World Peace, let us all devote ourselves to the establishment of a world of love and peace. With your fervent support, I have faith that we can achieve joy and fulfillment in the third millennium, together forever with the blessings of God. (262-235, 1994/07/26)
