"Everything he has done so far, and every foundation he has laid, he has done all by himself, and he will do it again and still more. Nothing is done by chance; everything has very complicated yet very solid reasoning behind it. Although you cannot see it, it is there. It is not only talk, but it is all reality, that he has achieved.
If you happen to witness the work of some individual or group which excels this, then you can go ahead and oppose him; but not until. Can you understand?"
Someone who thought about this first, and worked on it, and achieved it before any other individual or organization, is Master Moon. We have to acknowledge this because it is a fact. The conscientious and intellectuals will perceive this.
There is no teacher to him, but God is the sole teacher. He didn't consult in other individuals before taking action, because he wasn't working with mankind. He consults with God directly. God is alive; God is here. Therefore, you can talk to God about any matter and get the solution, you don't have to consult with individuals.
One country needs to act as a mediator between the East and the West and Japan is the one. As far as God's dispensation, Japan's existence is for this sole purpose.
Now, the Japanese must stand fast against losing pride and becoming shaky. Japanese families and people can open up the future of the world for them.
Koreans will see the Japanese called for certain mission and wonder why this is so. It is God's strategy to sacrifice the ones closest to Him and bring the farthest ones closer. Therefore Japanese students must be grateful for God's benevolence.
The Japanese members of the Unification Church already know this; so no matter how hard the work they go through and the hardships they experience, they never complain. There is not one single word of complaint. They obey. This is their culture.
That's the only difference between the godly people and ungodly people.
Never forget, behind all of these events there have been mass labors and sufferings. You must never forget that today the fruit of all the sacrifice -- significant and small -- in the history, is all combined.
The culture of the East and the West must become one. Through whom?
Through God.
We must open our conscience and mind wide and observe this heaven-given knowledge. Eastern people and Western people together should make a determination for the work of the future. We should build the world of eternity where the world will be one in the Unification realm.
An ideal young person that has perfected themselves and met the perfect mate, such a man and wife and family will want to have everybody in the world as their friend. In this sense, the world will become a happy multitude which will be happy just looking at all their brothers and sisters in the world.
When such people become friends it will be such a beautiful sight to see.
"Those are the multitudes who will make their credo to love God more than their own nation. It will be those people who can love their God-centered brothers and sisters more than anything else they have in the world. Wouldn't that be the highest ideal for which youth can aim."
When a person extends his love beyond his own spouse and family and on to his sisters and brothers of the entire world, he will be a successful person; the only successful person. He must be centered around God because without God, we do not exist.
If you condense man to a seed, what would that seed be? Before the child were the parents, so the parents are your origin or seed. From the origin you are born.
What is the origin of your parents? Parent, parent, parent and so on...then it goes back to the ultimate cause and that is God.
The only hope and purpose of every living being's life is to resemble its own source. Let us examine a seed.
When we observe a seed, we notice that it is surrounded by a pouch and always splits into two. No matter how small a seed is, it is always divided into two. This resembles the ultimate cause. The ultimate cause is God; God has a dual capacity or essentiality as one character. Everything else in creation also because it takes after the origin the principle which is God.
To take another example, even an individual has two elements: the body or flesh and the conscience. That's the plus entity and minus entity. When they go against each other they perish. When you take the example of the seed, do the two elements within the seed fight each other? They never fight. If they did there would be no plant.
What about mankind? Are we one as an individual? Are we perfected. If not, then you have no life.
This is because we haven't even become a seed yet. A perfected man or woman must become on.
When man and woman become one, then they are truly happy. Why are they happy together? Because in that way, they resemble and come closer to God; this is why they are happy.
All seeds contain all the elements of a plant. So when you plant a seed, a root comes. It comes from something, because there is something in it. The trunk comes because a trunk was already there, and it has leaves. The leaves come because there already have been leaves.
We as individuals each have a root, and a trunk...then this means we must have leaves. These three will comprise a tree. Who is your root? Your parents are your root. Are you a perfect trunk? This is your problem.
When you look at a tree, it resembles a closed circle. Why?
Because God is like that. God is round, so it becomes round. The base is round, the trunk is round, the branches are round. Round things rotate. They run easier anywhere.
A tree resembles a closed circle...why is this?
Because God is like that. God is round, so the base is round, the trunk is round, the branches are round. Round things rotate. It is like a ball. If you kick it, it will go very easily in any direction and anywhere.
This is why we need something round and complete in our character and why everybody resembles this round shape. Everybody is working and living these patterns. Those who are very athletic can make himself very round.
We see these three steps: root, trunk and leaves because that is the principle of God. When you live in conformity with these three elements, the world can be yours and God will not protest.
Even the finger has three steps or joints, the arm has a hand and upper and lower arms and the head and body and trunk.Are American people precious individually or as a collective unit. Collective. Is your own value temporary or eternal? Eternal. Is it an absolute value or something that can be diminished? Absolute. Everyone has ambition as if he was a thief trying to rob everything from God. But God doesn't mind. As long as you live withing principle, He doesn't mind.
