You Must Live a Life That Can Leave Something Behind

June 3, 2010 (Thursday) · Cheonghae Garden, Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, Korea

What is the title of the Message to be read in Hoon Dok today? (“All beings exist to attend the Father.”) Indeed, only when the Father is attended does the Mother come into being.

Today is the last day. It is the eighth day. I have had three generations of the family board my boat. In boarding the boats, there must be no overcrowding.

The boarding must respect the rules. Over the two days of yesterday and today, I had three generations board my boat, and in place of two boats, the boarding of the Mother's and Father's boats was supplemented. The most fish were caught on the Father's boat.

In Human History There Has Been No Nation of God

Walking the path of the Will is fearful to me. It is fearful, I say.

What does the word “fearful” (무섭다, museopda) mean? It is the character for “none” (無, mu) joined with the character for “to cross” (涉, seop). “You must not cross over”—that is what “fearful” means. I have come out here today to draw that conclusion. America and Korea, East and West, the North-South problem hangs in the balance. The North-South problem is again at stake. The East-West problem hangs in the balance as well.

Everyone, say, “Cheonan!” (Cheonan!) This is neither for the sake of North Korea nor for the sake of South Korea. It is for the sake of God. The age of forty-five is half of ninety, and at forty-six, one crosses over, centering on ninety. The Cheonan (천안함) is the vessel by which Heaven can be at ease. Sealed within the forty-sixth of that vessel, an offering was made to heaven and earth.

I performed the Seung Hwa Ceremony. The Republic of Korea made an uproar, and America and indeed the whole world made an uproar.

Why did the whole world make an uproar?

It is a matter that, since all the people of Britain, the United States, and France, together with Japan, Germany, and Italy, could not but be mobilized, must be observed and brought to a conclusion. Did North Korea do well, or not? North Korea says of itself that it did well, but it did not do well. They tried to seal off the Will of Reverend Moon entirely.

There is no fatherland of God, and no hometown of God. Why? Because human beings fell. Because the Father's sons and daughters fell, the Father, the very root, all disappeared. Who took it away? Say, “Crow (까마귀, kkamagwi)!" (Crow!) It means the crow of the pitch-black night. What is the syllable “ma”? What kind of “grass” is the greatest problem these days? It is cannabis (대마초, daemacho). It means the grass of the great devil (마귀, magwi).

When a person dies and is buried, at how many joints is the body bound? You do not know any of it! Into how many pieces was Yu Gwan-sun cut? (Into six pieces.) She was cut into six pieces and killed. Why was her name Yu Gwan-sun? It was the character for “willow” (柳, yu). When spring comes, it is the willow tree that most loves to dance and to display its form.

Do you know that even among willows there are true willows and false willows?

Among mullet, there are true mullet and false mullet. The ones who know this best are the people of Jeolla. Before the people of Jeolla become like the true mullet, what are they? The people of Jeolla are better at adorning themselves outwardly than inwardly. The people of Jeolla are diplomatic.

Everyone, why was the character for “doubt” (或, hok) placed inside the character for “nation” (國)?

It is because one does not know whether it is my nation or another's nation, the nation of a servant or the nation of a king, the mother's nation or the elder sister's nation. That is why the character "hok” was inserted.

The point is, why was the character “doubt, doubt” enclosed by being walled in on all four sides? In seven thousand years of human history, there has been no nation of God. Not only that, but there was no house of the Father and no house of the mother and the sons and daughters either.

Among the Korean folk songs, there is “Moon, moon, bright moon, the moon where Li Bai played; there, there, within that moon a cassia tree is lodged, so let us hew it out with a jade axe and trim it with a golden axe…”—and thereafter, what was said?

It is, “Let us build a humble cottage of a few rooms, bring both our parents to dwell there, and live for thousands and tens of thousands of years.” It means living on, crossing the beginning and the end of the world of numbers, for thousands and tens of thousands of years.

There Is No Owner of the Nation

What is Japan?

Why was “root” (本) joined to the character for “sun/day” (日)? As for where the sunlight appears, it appears in the midst of the eastern sea. That is Japan, lying beside Korea. Korea was Joseon (朝鮮).

Why was Korea Joseon?

Look at the character “jo” (朝). It centers the “sun/day” (日) upon the character “ten” (十). The “sun/day” bears a cross above and rides upon a cross below. When will it be set down? Attached is the character “moon” (月). The character “moon” (月) refers to the bride.

Can a prince be born without a mother?

Korean men do not know their mother. These fellows of men do not know the mother, that is. When they go philandering, they go about seeking gisaeng houses and the brothels at the crossroads. They embrace even a woman like a grandmother, and then a middle-aged woman too. He is not her bridegroom. She wishes him to serve as a pillar-husband. There is no betrothed man. They do not know the baby. Knowing nothing of the age of infancy, nothing of the age of boyhood, nothing of the age of youth, and nothing of the age of old age, the men of Korea loved to mount and trample every woman there is!

In the Last Days, the nation with the most suicides is Korea. Do more women die, or more men? Many maidens die, and women who married and became widows when their husbands came to ruin die as well. And so many take their lives among maidens and among widows. As it turns out, there are neither maidens nor widows—neither mothers nor daughters—and since it becomes a world where both the daughter and the mother die, Korea's suicide rate becomes the highest.

When a Korean man becomes something like a member of the National Assembly, he sets off to steal women around the world. When you look at the assemblymen who go gadding about overseas, the saying is, “How many flags have you planted and come back with?” Among them, there is no Taegeukgi. The point is that there is no Taegeukgi by which one could expound the eight trigrams that are its root.

If they are Korean, they say, “Where is saju? Where is Satan? Where is the death messenger that would carry me off?”

Those who count themselves clever make an uproar, saying such things do not exist—but they all exist. When you ask, “You—do you know the death messenger? Do you know what has become of the Kingdom of Heaven, or not?” they say they do not.

I knew it all before the age of eight. Heaven taught me. It said, “When you become a distinguished man hereafter, know the Hunminjeongeum (훈민정음)!” It was before I was eight.

What is the Hunminjeongeum?

My third-generation ancestor was the head of that field. It was my grandfather who could expound on the prophetic books of Eastern history. While expounding on Eastern history, he was astonished to see the historical figures. He was astonished, saying, “There is a divine spirit, yet there is no owner of a divine nation!”

There is no owner of the nation. That is why the character “hok” (或)—” well, it might be so”—was placed inside the character for “nation.” I expounded it as “na-ke-mu-a (나케무아).” Say it. (Na-ke-mu-a!) Say, “Namu-a-bul!” (Namu-a-bul!) Which is better—Namu-a-bul or na-ke-mu-a? Na-ke-mu-a is better than Namu Amita Bul. The point is that, becoming the true Maitreya King, at the same moment I strike myself—ta-bul—I behold the end.

If there is an owner of this universe, that owner strikes it down—strikes down the Buddha (불, bul)—and it disappears.

So, between Buddhism and Christianity, which is better?

Buddhism is better. While chanting “Namu Amita Bul,” one beats down, smashes down, the Buddha (불) that is the supreme head. Become Namu-a-bul and burn away! Our grandfathers were renowned. The first grandfather's name was Mun Chi-guk. The next was Mun Sin-guk, and the next was Mun Yun-guk. Our grandfathers knew everything without ever having gone to the village school to learn letters.

How many years are more than the fourth ancestral generation?

It is more than a hundred years. It came down to the fifth, sixth, and seventh ancestral generations.

Before Adam and Eve Were Divided, They Existed as a Twin Pair

Pictographs are the Chinese script.

What kind of Chinese character?

When you say “han,” it speaks of the end. It is a word that ends. Say, “Cheonjamun (천자문)!” (Cheonjamun!) What is “cheonja”? It means “the writing of the Son of Heaven; it surpasses a thousand.” It is units, tens, hundreds, thousands. One must cross the four hills, the four directions.

Do you know Samcheon-gapja Dongbangsak?

I mean, do you know that meaning? The point is whether you know whether there was a Dongbangsak who lived for three thousand years. In “Moon, moon, bright moon,” the cassia tree spoke of my hometown. He spoke words like a riddle.

I have coined many words in English. The term “True Parents” is one I coined. In the West, there are no True Parents.

In the East as well, it was I who coined the term Chambumo (참부모). I spoke of the middle of upper, middle, and lower—the nucleus.

In Confucian thought, it was said, “Won-Hyeong-I-Jeong (元亨利貞) is the constancy of the Way of Heaven (天道之常); In-Ui-Ye-Ji (仁義禮智) is the bond of human nature (人性之綱).” Is it “between father and son there is affection” (父子有親)? They knew only the horizontal. Is it “between husband and wife there is distinction” (夫婦有別)?

Saying, “From the age of seven, boys and girls do not share a seat” (男女七歲不同席), they said that men and women must not even sit in the same place.

What would it have been like in the Garden of Eden, before the Fall?

Would a man and woman not have shared a seat? They were a twin pair. The point is that originally, before Adam and Eve were divided, they existed as a twin pair.

When a child is born, the feet do not come out first. But with boys, at the slightest mishap, the feet come out first. Ordinarily, when a baby is born, it cannot come out feet-first but comes head-first; and if it comes out turned around, it emerges with the umbilical cord caught about its neck, so without fail it cannot cry.

When the baby comes out feet-first like that, for it to be set right, what must the angle be? It must be a hundred eighty degrees.

How does it come out?

Either the mother dies, or the like. When it is born, the baby is strangled and cannot cry. After just thirty minutes, after just thirty-four minutes, it dies. For this reason, one must have a knife ready and, the moment it is born, cut the umbilical cord.

Pictographs explain their meaning just as they are. My name was formerly Mun Yong-myeong (문용명). In the lineage of our family, the character “yong” (龍, dragon) was not used, so why was it given so?

The word came from my fourth- and fifth-generation grandfathers. They said, “Having held only official posts, we received all the offices of the royal house, and now we have drowned in the sea and come to have no name. We must build a palace in the sea!”

In the sea, there is a fish like a person—what kind of fish do they call that? (A mermaid.) Is it a mermaid, or what? Is it a female deity or a male deity? (A female deity.)

Why a female deity?

What did they call the prow of a ship? I do not know. I learned it and forgot it. The spirit world taught me, but the point is that once it is past, it must be treated as though it does not exist. The point is to leave no history behind either.

Since my mind is good, what happens once I hear something even once—for thousands and tens of thousands of years? A computer may break down, but what I have committed to my mind I do not forget.

When I studied English, I went about carrying a theology book in English, this thick. Because I spoke Japanese during the Japanese colonial period, I could not trust the English pronunciation taught in Japanese.

If you trusted a Japanese person's English pronunciation, wherever you went, you could get neither food nor water. If you spoke English with such pronunciation, no one could understand you.

The Place Called Jeongju in Pyeongan Province

Even if Japanese people live in America for ten years, it is hard for them to get food and difficult to get water. Say, “McDonald's!” (McDonald's!) They cannot do it. They say “Makudonarudo.” The point is to become a door (문, mun) that has been slammed shut. Lock the door—that is the meaning.

The point is that Japanese people should not go about with their mouths open, and should not go about thrusting out their bellies. Go about with your mouth open and you come to ruin; go about thrusting out your belly and you come to ruin.

Did they themselves give birth to Korea? Did Japan give birth to Asia?

Well, the point is, go ahead and try to make a meal of it. Trying to make a meal of it, they gave birth only to the island of Hawaii. Hawaii (하와이) is “Do the work and come!” (일을 해와!) They tried to swallow even the island of Hawaii and came to ruin. Why did they try to occupy Hawaii? They were struck by a thunderbolt. The nation of Japan was burned in the fire of the atomic bomb. They said they would not burn, but they were burned up in the fire—Japan, were they not?

Russia's Baltic Fleet entered the South Sea of Korea—and to whom did it lose?

It was Tōgō Heihachirō. What does it mean to say Tōgō-hachirō (東向八郞)? It is the eighth groom of the eastern direction. He is the eighth new groom in the East. There is the word Saburō (三郞). Is there no word Ichirō (一郞)? (There is.) There is, but it is used only occasionally. None but the imperial family may use it. Do you know that?

Which is more precious—Nagoya (나고야) Castle or Osaka (오사카) Castle? Nagoya is a castle in the garden of an old home. It refers to the "ya” of “It is my home, it is my hometown (nae gohyang-iya)!”

Because Japan is an island country, there were many cases in which Japanese women met and lived with men who had fled by boat from the mainland. And then boatmen, trying to cross the Pacific but not knowing the direction, would go to the island country of Japan and rest there.

They called it Japan. They called it Japan (日本), the root of the sun. That is why they made their flag the sun. What is the “bon” (本) of Japan? It is the character “tree” (木) with a stroke drawn across it. It is floating in space. There at the boundary line of day and night, what is foremost? There is Tsushima. Among horses, there are three kinds: the black horse, the ochre-colored horse, and the white horse.

The white horse is the horse the prince of the heavenly kingdom rides; the ochre horse is the horse the prince's son rides; and the black horse—what of it?

It always picks up and eats whatever has been thrown away. It is so because there is nothing to eat. Because it is given no hospitality at all, it cannot eat tasty things and even tries to dig up roots to eat.

Such is Reverend Moon, who knows how to discern the principles of how the world goes. What would have become of me had I studied astronomy? I memorized the Thousand Character Classic, the “Untitled Poems,” and the Myeongsim Bogam in full. I memorized them all before I turned twelve, but Heaven told me to forget them entirely.

Did you come seeking a man, or seeking a woman? Japanese women! (Yes.) Japanese women, all raise your hands. Now, the women of Jeolla here, raise your hands. There are only a few. They cannot compete. They cannot compete in ability or in a fight.

Now, what will happen when foreign women make up one-third?

From now on, when there are three generations and someone asks, “Grandmother, of what nation are you a person?” she will say, “I am Japanese.”

The place called Jeongju in Pyeongan Province in Korea is where farming methods were tested. It was our Mun clan that laid the bridge of a new culture centered on classical Chinese studies.

The “mun” of the Mun surname is the “mun” of ancestral rites. Pillars were set up in the four directions. With four in each of the four directions, five apiece, it is four times five, twenty (4 × 5 = 20). If you set up twenty pillars, no matter what, it will not topple. Even if a couple of strongmen push it, it will not topple. That refers to the altar.

I have inquired into things since I was a child. A voice teaching me would sound from the air, and when I kept my eyes closed, it would touch my hand. When I opened my eyes, I could not see it. The point is, where does such a being exist?

What is “jaesu” (fortune)?

To say one has jaesu means that a fortune by which one can receive blessing has come. To say one has no jaesu is to say, “A streak of doom has set in!”

What is jaesu?

It means there is life. There is life, yet it is not seen. That is what it means to have no jaesu. I love to see, yet it is not seen, so there is no jaesu—the point is, do not boast. Boast, and you die. You are beaten to death. People say all manner of senseless words. Everyone's mouth must be struck by a thunderbolt, and the breast must be burned away all at once.

Where Shall We Leave a Record That Can Endure in History?

Centering on a single day in Las Vegas, I held the coronation and the golden-wedding ceremony, and even held the Seung Hwa Ceremony. It is not the Seung Hwa Ceremony (승화식). It is the Seung Hwa Rite (승화제). It is the most precious of all. It is more precious than a wedding, more precious than the rebirth ceremony.

For this reason, when one sets out on the path of death, people more than three times those of my home, my county, and my nation must gather and set out. When I was born, the clansmen gathered to celebrate, but when I go to the other world, the people of the nation will come and celebrate.

What must anyone do after death?

When one puts the precious objects of one's household into a museum, the question is to what degree they rise. According to that grade, the descendants are moved up. So it is with Reverend Moon.

When I enter some village, after just three days, the grandmothers and grandfathers bring chickens they have slaughtered, and after just a month, they bring me the very best of what they are preparing for a sixtieth-birthday feast.

Whatever it is, when I say, “Bring it!” and they cannot bring it, they offer up even the eggplant seeds they had sown in the field. Do you know the eggplant? Say, “Eggplant (가지)!” (Eggplant!) The eggplant is called “eggplant” in English. It means egg-tree. What is the color of the eggplant? The eggplant's color is the color of nobility—the color of nobility.

Do you know the halmikkot, the grandmother flower? Say, “On the back hill, the grandmother flower!” It goes, “On the back hill the grandmother flower, the thorn-studded grandmother flower; was it already old when it sprouted?

The hoary, white-haired grandmother flower. Of the ten million kinds of flowers, what flower could it not become, that it became the thorn-studded, hunch-backed grandmother flower? Ha-ha-ha-ha, how funny. In youth, a grandmother flower, in old age a grandmother flower…” Isn't that how it goes? (Singing the song together.)

There are many flowers in the world, but I am the king among flowers.

What flower?

The grandmother flower is the one that blooms in early spring as a flower upon the grave where a grandmother died. I knew such an interpretation when I was a child. Heaven taught it to me. “The grandmother flower you must know and never forget all your life.” “Why?” “You must love your grandmother more than your mother.

When the grandmother dies, she becomes the great-grandmother and raises you, so you are not unfortunate.” That is what was said. Our Shin-jun gave me the name “King-Daddy.” I did not coin it.

When Americans reach the age to die, they choose an adopted son. They cannot trust their sons. In less than three years, in less than seven years, they sell off all the property. But what of the adopted son? The point is that he inherits the foundation for becoming a filial son and stands in for a filial son.

For this reason, even those who have no sons or daughters of their own choose an adopted son. I have seen a certain person who, having not a single son or daughter of his own, was raising as many as twelve adopted sons. I said, “Why, these are people better than our ancestors of several generations.”

Then, where shall we leave a record that can endure in history?

The point is to bring in Japanese people and make them daughters-in-law, to bequeath a thought that can surpass the will of the fatherland, pouring in three or four times more devotion than the Korean people.

Such daughters-in-law are regarded as more than daughters. The point is, those who have not married and have been running about, if they wish to come in marriage, are to follow me. I say, “The Father is about to die, so will you marry, or not?”

I have many sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters. I can make even my sons and grandsons your bridegrooms. The woman must resolve, “I will give birth to my bridegroom and raise him.”

One must be able to attend a man for whom one could die. Those who love their mother-in-law, raise your hands. If you do not love your mother-in-law, you will be done away with.

Ownership Must Be Offered Up as God's Own

Now I have come to feed and sustain the people of Jeolla. A throne where the Heavenly Parent can be attended must be made in Jeolla.

So where is Bonghwasan?

Why did Reverend Moon come and settle beneath Bonghwasan?

There are the breathing hole, the nostril, the navel, and the genitals. It is like the very source where the hen pairs with the rooster and lays a fertilized egg. Because Jeolla is a place spread wide open, it can lay a fertilized egg anywhere. The point is to turn what were unfertilized eggs into companies of fertilized eggs.

Here, the Japanese women received training up to the forty-eighth session. Crossing the hill of the time of youth is the age of forty-eight.

Why does Reverend Moon, needing forty-eight sessions, make such an uncanny commotion?

It is difficult to keep it all. You must sell your land, and even if there is a certificate of appointment with a congratulatory address from the president, along with the standing of your household, you must offer up even that. The point is to bring and offer up all your bank interest and your inheritance rights. You are not the owner, and it is not the True Parents' either. It must be offered up as God's own. Only then does the word “ownership” arise.

I give everything, keeping not one thing. I have given it all. I even fell into debt. I have fulfilled my responsibility. As the True Husband, as the True Mother, as the True God, one must fulfill the responsibility.

There was no wife of God—so what becomes of it, centering on the True Mother?

What was divided in spirit and body must be united. There are the spiritual mother and father, and the physical mother and father. One must become the King of kings. Countless kings ruined all the women and tore them apart. There is no way to set that right.

Free sex and incestuous relations among kin break out.

What do those who count themselves clever do?

When evening comes, they exchange wives and sleep with them. What is that called? (It is called swapping.) The point is, “Let us live exchanging wives every evening.” “There is the flower among flowers!

The high becomes level, and the level rises and falls, and what was low rises and falls again—is this not utopia? Since a man cannot be one and a woman cannot be one, let us try swapping!”—this has become their etiquette.

After swapping, whom do you trust as you live?

If sons and daughters were born by way of countless women, they are not one's own sons and daughters. They cannot trust the Korean woman, and cannot trust the Chinese woman. The Chinese woman, so that she would not run away, had her feet bound from the age of seven.

Until now, they kept her from removing it, and so she grew old and died. The one who liberates such women is me.

Since I will not come to Jeolla again now, I ought to set up a golden tower here before I go—what if I set up a small golden tower?

When I go to Brazil in South America, what shall I set up in a place like a mountain?

When I went to Uruguay, the white people had killed the one remaining black man on a mountain and set up a cross as a marker. Because the white people, unless they can attend the black man as king and attend the yellow race, cannot resolve the han (한) of their dead ancestors, the spirits of the black people come and seize and destroy the white people. I set up that shield for them.

I caught the fish in the rivers thereabouts and offered a sacrifice. And so, with a fine boat, I made the One Hope. Its name is One Hope. It means the number-one boat, the first boat of hope.

What is fishing?

Fishing is the angling at the right time. It is not to catch and eat the fish, but to give them life. I breed the tasty species and send them to the five oceans and six continents. Setting up a statue of an extinct species and praying, I say, “Receive what I have given life to, raising the fish of the seventh and eighth degrees of kinship tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold!”

If You Eat the Fruits in Their Season, You Live Free of Illness Until You Die

From Heaven, it was said, “When Mun Yong-myeong becomes Mun Seon-myeong (Sun Myung Moon) and, as the True Parent who is the King of kings, can serve as a lighthouse in the dark world and the world of light, I will grant everything you say.” Even God must bow in greeting to me—for three years. That is why I have attended Shin-jun for more than three years.

On the world tour, going to America and traveling about Europe, what did the two-year-old child do?

Sitting on the right, when the Mother came out and cried Mansei, he would spring up and cry Mansei. That child went around the world. Shin-jun is the one who, as a young child, has flown on planes the most.

He coined the names, and it was he who taught me that the grandfather and grandmother become King-Daddy and King-Mommy. He called the mother and father who gave birth to him “book mommy” and “book daddy.” There is nothing he does not know about the fish of the sea.

When you go into his room, there are the famous figures that appear in the cartoons made in America and Europe. There are even films made centering on the names of the continents.

If there is a tale of Sim Cheong, he shows the film of Sim Cheong.

Watching that, I study anew. I said, “Why, I heard it in a dream, but you get to see it in a film—how good for you. This is the real thing.” What is a photograph? What is set upon the platform when one dies is the photograph.

It says, “This is a substance that lives and does not die.” A photograph is what proclaims that a dead person lives for hundreds of millions of years.

Do the peach blossoms bloom first, or the apple blossoms?

Which flower blooms first? (The peach blossoms bloom first.) The apple grows in cold places. The peach grows in summer. Since the peach blossom is of summer, it blooms before the apple, which grows in the cold.

Do figs grow in the north, or do figs grow in the south?

(They grow in the south.) When spring comes, the flower blooms and bears fruit, but in the north, the fig does not take. The fig is a fruit without a flower, they say. The fig blooms inside, and one eats that.

Indeed, one must love the fruit of the south and the fruit of the north. A person who loves figs and loves apples does not contract lung disease or heart disease.

Lung disease is a fatal disease. It is the lungs, the lungs. It is a disease of the leaf. The disease of the round kernel is heart disease, and that is cancer (캔서; am).

What you pick and eat in May is the mulberry. What about the persimmon? It does not fall even after October has passed. Only when the ice begins to form and the juice oozes does it fall.

After the mulberry, the fruit you then pick and eat in May is the cherry. Eating cherries, picking and eating mulberries, picking and eating figs too—and then what?

What would happen if you ate, in turn, the flowers of all eight provinces according to the season?

If you make one circuit every four years and pick and eat the fruits in their season, you live free of illness until you die. I, too, have never managed to do so, but it would be good to try from now on.

For what did the Japanese women come to Korea in marriage?

Why did Taiwanese people come to Korea in marriage? What would it be like if Taiwanese people, people from Harbin, people from Hong Kong, and Western and American women came merrily to Korea in marriage?

Let the people of eight nations, of twelve nations, live peacefully in one house without quarreling. Since that house is the house of the ancestors of heaven and earth, the sons and daughters of God are born and become the people of God's fatherland.

At the fifth generation, the land changes. There is no house where five generations live together. Up to four generations live together. Have you ever attended the fifth ancestral generation? The fourth ancestral generation is what everyone knows. The fifth ancestral generation is different.

We performed ancestral rites even at the grave of the fifth ancestral generation on New Year's Day, on Samjinnal of the third month, and on the ninth day of the ninth month.

While visiting the grave of the fifth ancestral generation, I forgot it. The maternal house of the fifth ancestral generation was the wealthiest in Unjeon. The point is that I forgot that house, where I had lived so well.

Let us find out how many nations the people gathered here have come from. Korean people, raise your hands. People from Pyeongan Province, raise your hands. There is only me! (Laughter.) There is no one from Hamgyeong Province. There will be people from Hwanghae Province.

Hwanghae Province, raise your hands. Among the people of Jeolla, some came from Hwanghae Province. The point is that all became mixed because of the wartime displacement. Have I not become the head of Jeolla? I have come here to attend the ancestors of Nampyeong. Before going to Jeongju, my hometown, I have come to a place near Nampyeong.

The Eternal Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven

(Looking at his notebook.) It is May 4 and 6 of 2009. Beyond this, it is written, “the Age of the Free Fruition of Blessed Families.” It ends with what was written in May of 2009.

After this, I wrote nothing. Centering on May 4, 5, and 6, I omitted the fifth. It is Dano of the fifth month. The point is that the fifth month is the end. It means the shadow disappears. There is neither above nor below.

After May of '09, I left everything out and wrote, “Welcoming the Tenth Year of Cheon Il Guk.” It has crossed over. This no one knows. Even God does not know it. It is the record book of the secret document that liberates God. And then here there are all sorts of things. Now, from here on, I must write.

How many hours have you worked?

If the satanic world works eight hours, I work not ten hours but twelve. If you keep that up for ten years, how far ahead will you be? You get five years ahead. One cannot do the work with the left hand alone.

If you still do not know the right hand even after ten years, you too will die and be done away with. It will not do to remain unmarried.

Did you come to marry, or did you come not to marry?

(We came to marry.) If you are to marry, with whom? Did you think to marry me, or to marry a scarecrow like me? You came in order not to marry. Is that so? Did you come to marry, or not to marry? Well over nine thousand, ten thousand Japanese women have come and lived here.

What is the Blessing (축복)?

The character “chuk” (祝) is the “elder brother” (兄) beside the “to show” radical (示). The character “bok” (福) is the “to show” radical (示) with a big mouth and a big field. The big mouth refers to the Word of God, and the big field is what surrounds the character “ten” (十). It shows the Word of God and God Himself.

The elder brother took away the younger brother's blessing, Abel's blessing, but Cain now returns all that he received. The point is that, by your receiving this, God can find us. That God, the God of night and day, had come to a state of having to live gazing upon the earth that had become a world of hell and praying—but such a thing cannot be. So the point is that I need not rise to the position of the elder brother.

When the fathers and grandfathers of the world say they will attend me and set right the original, unfallen order, where is there an elder brother who would refuse, and where is there a younger brother who would say he is unwilling?

Even if they had killed me a hundred times, if I live a hundred and first time, I can attend to my elder brother as my elder brother. It is not that the offering of blood was not received, and the offering of grain was received. Since Cain and Abel failed to become one and made the path of death, what must be done to fill in that path?

When the younger brother fulfills the elder brother's blessing entirely and bids him receive the blessing, what will even Satan do?

Even Satan, who had tried to destroy the elder brother together with the younger, can have that original place filled in, centering on Abel; and so, breaking free of having hated the elder brother and the younger brother, he grants the inheritance, in God's place, together with the sons and daughters.

Though the wish is to place the elder brother in his original position before the younger brother receives the inheritance, since he does not receive the blessing of that position, Reverend Moon too has no choice but to set up the gate that goes from earth to the heavenly kingdom and, through a freedom and liberation in which—by the completion of liberation, the completion of peace, and the exercise of all, of the whole, of omnipotence—there is nothing that cannot be done and all things prosper, to make the eternal Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven. Aju, it is good! (Aju!)

You Must Know That the Trainees Are Precious

You must know that the trainees are precious. Looking at your faces, you are good-looking. There is no one short either.

So, having come this far, you must ride over the chin and cross the hill of the face. That is the heavenly kingdom. You must not fail to rise higher than this. The body dies. Because when you die, your head must not rot.

Do you know that the hair does not rot?

In the grave you turn to dust, and at a puff of breath, it all flies away and is gone, but the hair, it is said, remains intact.

What is so important is the hair and the beard, and what else?

The hair is pitch-black, but it must turn white. And so white hair has begun to come in! Greedy and high-spirited, until one crosses the hill of one's forties or fifties, one follows along with whatever anyone does; but once one crosses the hill of fifty, one must gaze upon the ground and pour out devotion.

It is so when one gives the Message. Some like it, and some do not. The question is, at a glance, whether more of those dozing are men or women. If it is talk that women do not like, the women doze; if it is talk that men do not like, the men doze.

So, when there are many women, if you tell an interesting story about the bridegroom, or about the grandfather or the father, they treat you well, saying, “My bridegroom is like that—my father is like that—why, a friend like my father has come!”

The point is that, for you to be treated well by a man, you should love the grandfather first. If you know and speak of “what our grandfather liked and what he enjoyed eating,” you are treated well. Discerning that, I give my hospitality.

Should one live for the household's living, or live for the nation, or else live for the village? The question is what manner of living one prefers. If the grandfather is of such a character, the point is to speak according to that character. Then you are treated well.

If you say to the grandfather, “Grandfather, let us go somewhere for lunch or dinner today. I will buy you the wild boar dish you like." How pleased he will be! Delighted, saying, “This is better than a sixtieth-birthday feast!” he stretches out all four limbs, loosens his belt, and eats. He usually eats a bowl or two. He even eats three or four bowls. The point is, do not take offense at that. He has even five or six bowls packed up to take away and feeds his grandsons and granddaughters with them too.

I am hungry. (Laughter.) Since I am candid, will you set out a meal for this candid Father—or, since he eats well putting it in his pocket, will you give him the scorched essence of the rice in place of lunch?

If there is only the scorched essence of the rice, one does not eat the rice. The scorched essence of the rice is tastier than the rice. Eating sungnyung-rice (숭늉) becomes medicine. There are even those who lived thirty years abroad and fell ill from being unable to drink sungnyung. One falls ill from being unable to drink sungnyung-rice. The scorched essence of the rice—because we drink that confection-water, we recover. (Bowing in reverence.)

Did you bow in reverence to God or to the True Parents? (We did so to God and to the True Parents.)

When I come here and pray, I too pray to the Father. Praying that the sons and daughters of this age may prosper, I look up and pray, drawing three breaths.

Looking up, I breathe out; looking down, I breathe in. The beat must match. It is chobudeuk-sam (初不得三)—” failing the first, try until the third.” Because the third time I must bestow a blessing before I go, I say, “Grant such a blessing!”

(Throwing flowers.) Now, here is a bellflower. This is the flower of God, and this is the flower of Abel. What flower is this? It is the flower of Cain. This is the bride's flower. This is the flower of the eldest son, the father. This weed is mine. “Dwaetji (it's done)” and “dwaeji (pig)” are cousins. The point is, do not cheat the pig.

When you say “dwaetji,” it means it has come to the point where you can say, “Father, now it need not be done (doeji), need it?” The pig (dwaeji) and “it's done” (dwaetji) are in a father-son relationship. Do you understand? (Yes.)

What must one do to gather money?

Wherever you go, if you become the head who can serve as a servant, money will naturally gather to you! Reverend Moon, too, was driven out. The first- and second-wealthiest men of North Jeolla Province came to me and then fled. You must measure out rightly. The point is, do not think of the way to live. Shave yourself down and measure out! Do you understand? (Yes.)

Try measuring out by shaving yourself down like that. Though you have only half a measure of one measure, you take that half-measure and fill someone's pocket and send them off. Such people become wealthy.

One who lives that way never comes to ruin. Because I have lived testing such facts through experience, I tell you of them. The point is to become an owner like me. Wherever you go, live according to this book.

Then you will say, “Why, the Father did the very thing I was about to do!” For this reason, what book is it beneath the autobiography? Beneath the autobiography, what is it? It is God's manual and teaching material. The point is, beneath the autobiography, the manual, and the teaching material.

Whatever it is, you must leave something behind. You must live a life that can leave something behind. You must not live carelessly. The point is that you must not live any-old-way (아무케나).

Say, “Na-ke-mu-a!" (Na-ke-mu-a!) I said the very character for “nation” used the character “doubt” (或). Namu Amita Bul means to do away with the self and, as the representative of ami, the tombstone, to attain enlightenment—ta-bul—and shatter it. Na-ke-mu-a means that you dig out the self, and as the self disappears, God comes and protects you, raises you, and gives you life. Na-ke-mu-a comes to be better than the father, the grandfather, of Buddhism. Just wait and see whether it does not turn out so. (Aju!)

There is Namu Amita Bul of ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, but with na-ke-mu-a, God appears within seven years. I speak this having experienced it. Have you met God? (We have.)

How did you meet Him?

(Even now we are looking upon His face-to-face.) When you cry out, “I am dead!” and, ak!, you put forth your strength, there is a crashing collision. Afterward, you come to your senses, and at once, if you had committed theft, a thief appears, and if you had played the robber, a robber appears.

If you seek God, then God appears. These are all words I speak from experience. Truly splendid, vivid words. Do you understand?

You must do the act of momentarily dying and coming back to life once or twice a day to become an upright person.

Do not follow the high, and do not favor the low! Do not favor the high, and do not exalt the low! Having experienced it for yourself, you must grasp what is to be grasped and not grasp what is not to be grasped.

Because, when I entered the brink of mortal peril and cried out ak! that I was dying, I heard that very cry, and upon opening my eyes, I had come back to life—and so one comes to be able to see the other world and to hear the voices of the other world. That you must know.
