New History of Love

If you told your hand that it could not participate in a family feast, the hand would protest loudly. All your senses would insist on participating in that love.

When a young couple feel the rush of their first love, their whole bodies concentrate on this, day and night.

This should not be the high point of their love experience.  It is easy for a couple to get lost in the romance, but the intensity of their love should become even greater over time

Have you experienced such a total concentration of love?

How is it possible to get 100 percent concentration of God's love?  God wants to come to you and touch every part of you.

When you possess love, then everything sparkles with love once God comes to touch you.  So far, no one has been able to place all their five senses into that genuine love, therefore, we are making a new history.

All five senses were created to be intoxicated in love, thus you become a total chunk of love.

God sees such delicious love, He swallows the whole thing without peeling it.  Even though God is very hygiene-oriented, whenever He sees love, He would not stop to wipe anything clean; He would just swallow it.

When are the five senses able to unite through love?  When you are intoxicated in true love, then with that love you are able to love your husband or wife, your children, neighbors, and nation.

This is the perfection of man which God sought in the beginning of creation.

Where can we find such love today?

The heavenly order of loving God first, then love between man and woman who then love humanity and creation, has been destroyed by the fallen world.  They don't like the heavenly principle and resists its restrictions.

People often misuse the freedoms in this country.  Therefore, love also has become perverted.

Is it really freedom if one just lives only for themselves?

Freedom can only blossom as true freedom through the discipline of heavenly principle.

Maybe men and women go to the club for the evening.

It will be all right for the husband to dance with one of the girls if his wife is there, since then nothing is hidden.  But if a man goes there deceiving his wife while leaving her at home, then doing an unprincipled act with another woman, that is totally wrong.

In love, there must be strict discipline, a strict principle to follow.

After the presidential inauguration there were several inaugural balls. Many men and women were dancing and socializing.  How many of them were thinking about the true order of love?  In many cases, such events help to split up families.


Celebrating in dance is beautiful. I have nothing against it, but it should come under the Principle. Otherwise, such things can be destructive to homes and society. 


It is truly beautiful to witness a husband and wife going out together and rejoicing while they dance and love one another.  If a wife introduces another woman to her husband and then they dance this is fine if it is not initiated by the husband.

However, most times, the man will disregard his wife and look for another sexy woman to dance with or be with.  This is not principled.

God is the master of Principle and He dwells in love.

Love blossoms through the Principle way.  Therefore, when a man and woman marries within the Principled realm, they are building a principled foundation upon which true love can blossom.  This love must be public-minded and unselfish.

Why?

Because no one is able to possess love.  Love is activated only when there is an object which it can relate.  So, without an object, love is impossible.  Even God must obey this law.

Love needs an object in all four directions.

The object completes a circuit that can channel love to you.  In order to receive love, you have to activate it by giving love.  Once you are able to love and serve someone or something, that love will return to you.  Selfish love dictates, "You must love me.  I am here to receive love."

Satan works in this way.  He works through selfish love.  That kind of love always drags you down like an anchor.  In most cases in America, women marry because they want the man to love and serve them.  The women are ready to receive love once they marry.

This thinking is wrong and should change.  You should think, "I want to marry so I can have an object to give my fervent love to."

No matter how big and strong a man is, he will be melted by true love. 

Your giving love will melt him.

Unfortunately, American women are often good about speaking about their love, but are not good at showing it.

Love is an action and deed.

A good woman acts out her love and speaks praise with her mouth.  That's the way it is supposed to be.  If there is love, if it is not public-minded, then it is destructive love.

Which do you think should be more important to a couple?

A savings account or their love?

In homes today, there are two savings account, one for the husband and one for the wife.  If one was to borrow from the other, they would even write a receipt!  If the son asks for money, he would have to pay back with interest.

Is love cheaper than a paper or a piece of money?

When a husband and wife are truly in love, they are one body.  When your whole body becomes sacrificial, a bank account is nothing.  The husband's money is the wife's money, and the wife's money is his money.

God's love dwells in the public place, in the public-minded person. 

The Church promotes the public minded action and love.

When you fundraise, this is with a public mind and is a public deed which you do for the sake of America and mankind.  At the end of the day, you do not even save a penny for yourself, but give it as an offering for the restoration of the world.

Through your blood, sweat and tears, you are able to restore that money from the world and the people by offering it back to God and His will.

You want to set this tradition that we live our entire lives for the public purpose.  What reward do you get for doing this?

Your reward is receiving God's love which is the public love.

People stand back from this public-minded living because they believe that they will lose everything including their sense of self.

Actually, by sacrificing your carnal desires, you get no better deal than this because you gain everything.  Everyone thinks the one who lives such a life for others is a loser, but we are not at all.

Through practicing it, you have become more and more prosperous and closer to the center of love, God.  We know there are many well-educated, good-looking people who come from good families.  In comparison, we look like lowly merchants who do not have anything.

Yes, by the worldly standard, they appear to be far better than Father, but once they determine to stop their worldly ways and go this true way of life, they try to live up to this standard.

Once you are able to practice this public-minded love, you get a taste of real love.  If you need proof, then leave the religious way of life and then compare what you get in the world with the life of a true person of faith.

Then when  you look back at all of the experiences you had in witnessing and touching other's life and bringing them to God's true love, then you will really know what an exciting and rewarding life you have been living.


I have a pretty sharp mind. Do you think I have not thought of this point? By living with public-minded love you gain everything, including the love of God. I will be practicing this the rest of my life. When money comes to me, I don't think about putting it into my children's bank account. I want to spend it for the public purpose. I even want to borrow as much money as possible in my lifetime to spend for the public purpose.  If you know my attitude, then when I tell you to raise funds, no one will complain. Instead, everyone will respond, "You can depend on us."


This true way of life is just and righteous for the past, present and the future.  When you live in this principled way, even though your circumstances seems meager, you feel good.

You are not able to explain it, but your conscience is clear and you are able to sleep well at night without any worries.

The difference is, this is a public-minded place.

We pursue public-minded love because that is where God comes to dwell. 

If we want to attract God to us, we have to live in a public-minded lifestyle

Once a former Harvard professor came to hear Father at East Garden.  He told father that he was the first professor to join such a movement and asked what he should do for God's dispensation.

Father answered him, "I'll tell you.  You can go out into the world, get persecuted, cursed and and give out your life for the dying world."  Without reservation Father sends out members in this manner to suffer.

This is the Principle way of life.

Such a professor with a glorious track record may have been looking for praise and a complement instead.  This is the heavenly declaration: to go out and receive persecution, be condemned and live for the sake of the world.

This principle is the same for the President and prestigious professor.  Father would give the same answer if the President of the United States asked the same question.

The tombs of those who had died for the sake for God and mankind would never be dry.  Generations of people to come will lay flowers and shed tears there in their honor.

God loves not just America, but the whole world.

He is experiencing many problems that only people of faith can solve.  A faithful person can go to God and tell Him that they will take on the worst problem and solve it for Him.

Right now, God's greatest headache is communism.

The other problem is the decline in the true Christian spirit.  We are to go out in the world and revive this once thriving Christianity.

Another great headache for God is the moral decline around the world, in particular the young people.

So, we must go out to the world and assure God that you will take away His headache by restoring the young people.

Americans have become individualistic and have become selfish.  You should become a good example by serving the world, suffering for the sake of others.  Because you have dedicated your life for this cause foregoing the secular way of materialism, you are told that you are brainwashed.

How should you reply?

You can reply, "We are the new breed of people who hate injustice."

No one wants to suffer, that is human nature.

But you are asked to go down into suffering.  Do you think the Messiah has an easy task to fulfill of world restoration?  We would soon to believe that the Messiah returns and at the snap of the finger restore the world to a peaceful and beautiful existence.

The reality is, it is far more difficult for him, than for the person who gets his instruction.

Many people think that the Principle is wonderful, but they want to go about it in the American way.  This idea is rejected.  By following the principle order in an American way, then we become part of the declining America and then God would say goodbye. There would be nothing left to work with.

The third principle we must practice is sacrifice.  Why is this so when no one naturally sacrifices oneself for the whole after the fall?

The love of God dwells with you when you sacrifice.

Sacrifice with love; give yourself to others with love; then you shall win everything there is. 

When we look at Jesus' situation from just a human viewpoint, he looked miserable and defeated.

Jesus was pounded to a cross, ridiculed by soldiers, yet, the same Jesus was able to eventually conquer the world because he sacrificed with love.

Even though there are more people who have a more miserable death than Jesus, their death was not able to bring anyone to salvation before God.  This is because they died for their own individual cause, or for their own crime.

Plus, Jesus had grown to a perfected being without sin, and through his death, he died for the sake of the world, with love.  That is what true sacrifice is.  That love has the power to conquer the world.  When you are conquered by this love, you don't mind that conquest.  When you become a prisoner of true love, you sing and dance.

These are the three principles that are points that a noble religious teaching always emphasizes.

One: You should follow the heavenly Principle.
Two: You should be public-minded.
Three: You should be sacrificed.

This is because that is where God comes to dwell.  That is the only way you attract the infinite love of God.

Through the fall we severed our connection to God.

As fallen human beings, it was not natural for the pure, perfect God to embrace and love the children of sin.  Through our suffering and repentful spirit, God is willing to forgive and love us as his adopted children.

You are bound by your own will.  There is no need for someone to look over your shoulders and check to see if you are doing it or not.


My life was so hard many times that I wanted to quit, but I couldn't. No one else forced me to go on, but I kept going because I had tasted the love of God. When you experience the deeper love of God, you can't for one moment go away from it.  In a way, I miss the vicious persecution and life in the communist prison because there I tasted the love of God the most. 


Within God's love, nothing is impossible.

Because of this love, God was able to endure and be patient through the thousands of years since the fall.  He was able to be patient after many saints and people were martyred, persecuted and suffered to bring about this world of peace.

You would want to experience this total overwhelming love don't you?

If you are able to practice the sacrificial way of life, then you become the central person in your home.

First, become Principle-minded.

That means that you respect your parents because they are your parents.  This is the Principle.  Be sacrificial for the sake of the whole household.  Then the family will naturally want you in that position.

Whoever can truly put this to practice for the nation, they shall become the leader and master of the nation.  The same Principle applies to America and to the world.

Who is God and Who Am I?

God Wants World Peace

If God is almighty, He is thinking of peace that is ever lasting and eternal.  He would also think and create elements that would not be a danger or threat to human tranquility and life.  So, what would be the most important thing in life?

Conscience is the most precious, because conscience is the origin of life. 

When we center upon conscience, we can talk about love.  Then a new element of love enters.  Conscience is also connected to the blood lineage we inherit from our ancestors.  We do not realize how much of a precious treasure the conscience is for human lives.

No one can see conscience, because it is invisible.  You each have a life. Does your life belong to you, is it your own private life?  Does it belong to God as a universal life?

We each share the root with the universe.  The mind and body, especially the conscience, belongs to the universe even though we believe our mind belongs to us privately.

Let's say we were to ask our conscience, "Would you rather have your own ancestors, your grandfather, father, the country or nation which would be better to have?  You would like to have an universal ancestor.   Your conscience will propel you to like to have the universal ancestor.

If you do not, then the conscience will wonder why it does not belong to the universe as an universal being.



Everyone competes for the number one position.  In sports, in life we all want to be number one.  This is human nature.  But when we examine the body, we see that the billions of cells and every cell is number one. Each cell is trying to be number one and has certain characteristics.  For example, when you exercise, a particular cell that is number for for exercising will begin to move to fulfill that task.

If conscience is in the number one position, what is in the number two position?  The next most important element is love.  In a sense, both conscience and love are virtually one, because conscience exists in love and love exist in the conscience.  They work together in harmony trying to be number one.

Have you ever seen love?  Do you know how much love you need?  No one has seen the essence of love because love action is a phenomenon.  Only love can be identified through the phenomenon. Love is likened to a shaft, center or axis.  When the wheel is turned, everything revolves around the axis.  On the same token, everything in the universe revolves around love.

Love appears through certain actions of love, then it manifests.  

Where does love travel?

Is it up on the surface or at the deepest depths?  Yes, at the deepest depths. Sometimes we need something high as well.

Even though our original mind or conscience is of noble character, at the same time, each man and woman have developed different types of conscience and therefore makes it hard to unite.  For this reason, God created a central element that enables them to become one, which is love.

Love brings everything into unity like a superglue.  So therefore conscience's ultimate direction and ultimate goal has to be love.

Conscience is driving man toward love as their ultimate goal.

This kind of love is the most powerful and inspiring and can step over any obstacle.  Love can create a bridge all over the area.  Where love is present, there can be no gap created.  Love fills everything, every gap and hole.

When you step on the love staircase, you will go to the highest possible realm.  This is greater than any emperor, king or any power.

Love creates incredible virtues: toward the parents, love creates filial piety; between brothers; it creates brotherhood; it also creates patriotism and the next level of sainthood.

What else can bridge all of these things besides the action of love?

Any material or wealth that brings this about, once these things are lost, so is the unity.  Love is the only element that has the power to bridge the gaps from the level of pious son all the way to saint.

What is the root of conscience?  The root is the Almighty God and the ultimate goal of the conscience is love.

Love creates all kinds of harmony, beauty, goodness and happiness.

Love is so flexible that it can turn and bring the front and rear into one, left and right into one, up and down into one, it's almost like Disneyland. There is so much turning, riding, going in all kinds of directions with everybody riding in and enjoying the many different kinds of rides.

Conscience and love are like that.

We all enjoy riding a rollercoaster because of the experience of the highs and the lows with everyone screaming together.  Are you the type that screams out, "stop, don't yell, I need silence?".  No, even the old grandparents will scream, laugh and smile at the same time with everyone. This feeling is one and harmonious.

On a rollercoster everyone is united.

Grandparents will hold on to their grandchildren, or a stranger or a cool teenager when they are frightened on a rollercoaster it doesn't matter.  When everyone is on a rollercoaster it doesn't matter who that person is, you could kiss them and nobody will blame you.

The same could be said for an energetic concert or an ultra exciting soccer game. The crowd is so excited and united during the performance.  White one kiss black one, black one kiss white one, white one kiss yellow one, yellow kiss red one-it doesn't make any difference-go ahead. Everything is good!

In order to give humanity the ultimate gift, God Almighty created love.  

God made love the ultimate gift from the root of the conscience.  To make love work, God created man and woman, which are plus and minus, to center on love they connect as one for love to blossom.  If we were to take out love, everything would become miserable.

There is a famous quote that if love was taken out of the world it would take less than a day for the whole world to no longer exist.  Love is that important to sustain life on earth.  All of creation begins from the seed of love.

In spirit world, one does not breathe air, they breathe the true love of God.

No one not, even Satan, can deny that the greatest gift of all the Creator endowed upon human beings is love. So, would the correct way for love to travel would be the straight way, up and down or the crooked way?  Would it concern a lot of confusion?

Love travels in a straight line and the shortest distance just like electricity travels through a power line.

The fastest speed of all is true love; the shortest distance and the fastest way.

Love always hits at a straight 90 degrees because a 90-degree impact is the strongest and most powerful.  In this perfect 90 degrees that matches in any direction, there is no loss or no waste because it fits perfectly everywhere.

Sound comes in a straight line into your ears.  Power comes this way, and stops right here. It is here where it becomes zero.

"With love, normally it doesn't matter what day it is; love is universal and today is one of the universal days. So love is the ultimate gift from the root of conscience which is the Creator. The conscience's root is true and works in that same fashion, by the same principle.

So therefore, whatever the root of conscience pursues, the goal and direction is one, not two. So therefore, in order to have love manifest more perfectly, there shall be subject and object, there shall be plus and minus, there shall be men and women-that's how the creation has been made.

Which is the subject: the love root or the conscience root? Love is the subject and your conscience is in the object position.  This is the ideal purpose.  You can connect with the purpose through the love circle.  This concept, no matter how difficult to achieve, cannot be denied by anyone.  It is the principle.

When Father hears the translation, he realizes there are so many important parts missing, and I realize it.

The original speech given from which this post is derived, is given in Korean.  Father knows that because his speeches are translated that there are many important parts missing.  This doesn't make him feel good and he wants to give the speech in English.  This can be likened to a really good steak that you are about to eat, but someone puts sand and flour on top of it.  Would you be able to eat this steak after this?  Translation is like eating a very bad steak.

So the most important thing for human beings are conscience and love. 

The unchangeable conscience looks forward to uniting with the unchangeable quality of love.  Most people oppose

Our mind wants to do everything with unchangeable love.  This is the formula way.  What about American love?  Right, it is very changeable.  American love does not have a center or a base, so the ground is shakeable.  Any place where it is hit will break down the family, nation and society.  This is the American love system.  The problem is that not every American conscience wants to unite with love.

The American love world needs reformation, revolution and action. 

How will we be able to import the true love world?  Would we be able to buy true love just because we have a million dollars?  Are all millionaires happily delving in true love?

There needs to be a revolution started in the American love world.  Don't you think it needs to be reformed and action taken?  The misuse of love is a problem, an epidemic in America.  How can we import that kind of true love?

What we witness today in America is not God-centerd love, but perverted un-centered love.  The whimsical floating satanic love prevails in our society and our true  conscience rejects this kind of love.

As believers we have started a revolution that brings love back to its pure original state.  The only way to solve the love problem in America is through the Messiah at his Second Coming.  Through the Messiah, the solution to the world's problem will be given to mankind.



Return for Since we flowing toward one world, what is the one language that you are going to use in the future?  Learning this language will be more important than learning English, Chinese or Japanese?  Within the Korean language, you can find the deepest thought in the world of religion.  The ideal and the deepest thoughts are all combined into one.

That precious understanding is found in the Korean language.

Right now, the world does not know this, but the world is evolving and moving to the other side.

The high will go down, and the low will go up. And the lowest will go to the highest point. 

This happens automatically, not by force. From this perspective, should Father have taught us and led us differently than he did? Or did Father do well? (Did well. Applause.)


Wise Use

We took fundraising seriously, more seriously than our professions. In the future, property ownership will move from purely individual ownership into group ownership, possibly ownership by family or extended family.

The vertical relationship will be one, but the horizontal relationships can vary greatly. Vertically, it is a "world property" concept. Horizontally, it is group, 360 degrees group property, not individual ownership.
In the future the world inevitably will use resources frugally, not wastefully. We will save resources; they are not unlimited.

There need not be cooking in every house. There can be a village bakery, utilizing minimal resources for maximum product. You can make your own particular dish, but make a lot to share with other people. If everyone does that, then no one has to cook every day.

In fact you would have to cook only a few days a year. And there would be a system by which a hot meal would be on your table within fifteen minutes of your ordering it. You would just enter your order into a computer, and it would be delivered to your doorstep.

This system is useful for ordering clothes. That doesn't mean you have to wear a uniform. There will be hundreds of different styles, colors, materials, and all you have to do is state your size and preference with a number. That day is very near. You say, "Oh Father, that day will be very slow in arriving." No, Father will hasten it. (Laughter and applause.)

Why? Father has manpower and organization power. Moving out is no problem. Now we are making that foundation, connecting every area. Father not only prophesies it, but he has been preparing for it. America doesn't think about making that kind of preparation. China, too, no matter how big it is, will crumble down if it does not prepare. So, is it likely to happen? (Yes.) One reason we can be sure is that spirit world is like that. Spirit world is our original hometown.

The earth is our body's original hometown. Spirit world is the mind's original home town. From here, the only way we can go is toward the mind's world. Americans have to eat hamburger and cheese. Koreans can't do without kimchee. Trends here on earth must follow the pattern set in spirit world. That place is better than here; it is heaven.

No matter how long your life on earth may be, it is only a dot in eternity, one second, compared to the eternal life we are going to lead. So long as we are human beings and not animals, we cannot deny that point. Once everyone understands the spirit world, everyone will understand the way of life we should lead on earth.

We will practice the same kind of life we expect in the spirit world. Father has been educating us to be kings of the market system in the future. Then we can become responsible people in important world organizations. You cannot occupy important positions without training.

What is your guess: is Father's thought practical and powerful enough to bring the spirit world and physical world into unification? ­(Yes.) That is a dual structure. That doesn't mean a relationship between two things that are the same. One is vertical, the other is horizontal. In that sense it is dual.

All existence has to follow this 90­degree relationship. When a tree stands, it orients itself vertically. It doesn't take the horizontal line into consideration; it doesn't matter what slope it is on. The tree is not dumb. It is smart! What about man? Man is dumb, still making 90 degrees according to the horizontal line, the fallen thought world.

We should bow down to trees, because they are better than us, always standing at 90 degrees based upon the vertical line. And birds always take the 90 degrees based upon the vertical line. Only humankind takes the different degree. Dumb. In Korean, dum dum hada means "he is not so smart."

Now it is high time for us to know that what Father has been doing is toward a real goal which will be realized in the near future, as well as the distant future. Fundraising without this vision might be difficult, but if you know why you are doing it, isn't it a hopeful activity? (Yes.)

You may think that political elections are a real activity, but fundraising is more real, because if you fundraise well, you will be able to win election campaigns. Worldly people concentrate on the elections only when they arise, every four years. But we do that always, every day, our whole life.

If black people were to take Father's words seriously and put them into action, they would set the trend and be the leaders. There are two ways to follow. One is to really see the objective; the other is when you don't want to go but you have to. In the latter, you will not go fast; automatically you will slow down, get behind and be defeated.
