Become Ideal People for Liberation

It has been reported to me that there is a great deal of communist activity on college campuses. When our CARP teams stage counter demonstrations, all the communists usually retreat.

You applaud when you hear this because you are excited. CARP pushed the communists to take cover so you feel good, but you don't want to exert the discipline that would give you the power to do that.

You have to accept the discipline that will make you powerful enough to drive communism back. If with bare hands we can gather the resources to lay the foundation that can save the world, then if we have enough tools and money could we do it easily?


Reverend Sun Myung Moon


If we have already become such people, then the world has no way to compete with Father.  What we can accomplish is so above their own standards, that they cannot even imagine how to compete with us.

In the fishing industry, Father set a standard that no competitor could outdo him.  He would be able to be out on the boat fishing with his crew at 4 am and not return until almost midnight.  Sometimes they would spend 24 hours on the boat.

Once he would proclaim something, that would echo throughout the entire country and world.

"People cannot help but listen. I operate on a simple principle and I have a plan."

Don't look for the easy way out in the Unification Church.

Before you are thirty, I will push you down to the dungeon. In that hell you will have to persevere and survive. The rest of the world is looking for the easiest direction, looking for another way to have a good time, but we don't care that those things exist. By following my discipline you can all become saints by the time you are thirty. After that, go ahead and have a good time. You can even grow your hair until it reaches your toes. You can braid it into a rope and connect yourselves together and have a big parade, but only after you reach that saintly plateau.


Once you become ideal men of God, you shall enjoy true liberation.  No matter how much you enjoy this liberation, you must always be within the Principle.  This is what perfection is.

The most precious and important thing is God.

We might take God's presence for granted throughout our daily lives.  Imagine a life without God's existence, or God decided to abandon the human race?

What comes into existence first: spirit or matter?

You cannot show spirit to someone, but the communist place such importance on matter.  When you wake up in the morning, usually the first thing you think about is breakfast, correct?

Are you able to prove that the invisible world of the mind exists?

What about the eye for example?  Does the eye understand that it needed to tear in order to keep it clean and wet enough to function?  Was the eye aware that it needed to develop eyelashes to help keep the dust away?

Did the eyebrows automatically develop to keep the sweat and rain from running into the eye?

When communists, Marxists and evolutionist cry that matter came about haphazardly or automatically, then how did the hair know to come out of the forehead and not the eyes.  Even after a baby is born, it has no clue or knowledge about the atmosphere.

Would the eye know anything about itself in the mother's womb and develop on its own accord?

Of course not.

There was a designer of the eye that knew about the related environment with sunshine and dust and rain.  The point is that someone knew in advance that the eye would have to cooperate with the environment.  Therefore, the designer would also plan for hair, eyebrows, ears and so forth that would unite with the rest of creation.

What if no one was born with hair that lived in the hot tropics?

Imagine being bald on a hot fierce beaming sun day.  There was an universal mind that figured out all of these things in advance.  Since no material in creation could haphazardly bring itself about into existence, material did not come into being first. Therefore, spirit existed before there was any material world.

Why is there such a debate over this?

It is like a debate between the religious and god-denying world of communism that denies the world of spirit.

If material just came into exist by happen chance and thought came as an effect of material, then there is no set standard to live by.  If there are no standards, if gives rise to lose behavior and live however bringing about chaos.

As a person of faith, you live by the principles set by God that brings about peace.

Even the best eye doctor a hundred years from now, still would not be able to discover all the secrets and complexities of the formation of the eye.

It is completely illogical to say matter comes first.

Even though the spirit is invisible, it comes before any material comes into being.  The conclusion is that all of the beauty we observe in the universe was designed by a universal consciousness which is spirit.  From that spirit, the visible world was created.

You are an effect, not a cause, therefore, you need to know this cause.  The vertical subject.

You live in a material reality as men and women with horizontal relationships.  When you connect to the vertical power, the vertical and horizontal turn around together.  Then existence is permanent.

Mechanical principles work the same way in physics.  The motor has four poles; one pair of plus and minus is not enough.  Even the visible universe has a spirit, like the visible body has a spirit.

If there is a subject, that designed man, then does this mean that that spirit is superior to you?

That universal spirit would thus have give and take with all the things of the universe.

The center that designed all things is who we call God.  No one can deny that there is a divine knowledge, emotion and will in the universe.

If God exists in our universe what would be the most important for Him of all?  Is it true love?

Where did true love originate?

First, there must be life, for without life nothing can happen.  You must come into existence before you are able to do something.

For God, the most important thing is life.

He does not want a temporary existence but eternal.

After there is life, then we can speak about true love, which is the culminating point. Therefore, a temporal life is not enough.

Love is not a stationary subject, but is only generated out of a complimentary relationship.

Nothing can be perfect independently.

There has to be a subject and object together to make a pair that creates a circuit which generates love.  The pair system is the beauty of the universe.  

Men and women both have life, and God is the same.  Without life, nothing is able to begin.  Love cannot be activated outside of the pair system, so, in order to fulfill love, you need the pair system.  

Each individual also exists within the pair system which is called dual essentialities.  This is needed to create a circuit for give and take of love.

What if you take one of your arms and link it to your other one to make one long arm and hand.  Is this utilitarian?  This would not pass the love examination.

Even your teeth are part of the pair system.  There is an upper and lower set of teeth.  They snap at each other.

But they must behave this way within Principle.  Love is only activated within a complimentary, reciprocal circuit.  Each finger on one hand represent a season, and has three segments which the total of twelve represents twelve months.  The thumbs have two segments, so they represent duality.

You have two types of nervous systems, plus two types of blood vessels.

A baby is able to make a fist with his hands, with the thumb inside while he is still in his mother's womb.  The thumb is the number one finger representing God.

The center, or subject, should be inside. 

The messiah is the center of God's dispensation to bring about a world of peace, with members surrounding him.  All of these relationships derive from the pair system, in order to fulfill love.

Do you think that insects have a pair system, too?

What about the grass and flowers?

Everything exists in pairs and they all like love. 

There is no exception, because God's main goal is to fulfill love.

God needs eternal life and eternal love.  In order to fulfill this eternal love, God is in search for His eternal object, so He can live in an eternal pair.

Who would be God's permanent object?   Only a perfect man.

Eternal life is your goal.

Many fables speak of ways to obtain eternal life or immortality on earth through dreams of vampires and the fountain of youth.  Why is it necessary to live forever?

Because God is an eternal being that lives forever.  Therefore, He gave us eternal life to pursue eternal permanent love through the subject-object circuit system.

Therefore, we are God's objects.  Just as much as God is eternal, we shall be eternal.  As a person of faith, you can be sure you are living for eternity.

Many people just live their life everyday for the purpose of fun, but from here on out, have complete conviction that you will live forever.  Upon this foundation, our next concern will be ideals.

Does God have ideals?

If you love someone, then you want to be proud of him or her?  You want to shower him with gifts, and tell people about him.  You want to be able to demonstrate every capability and be recognized by your lover?

In the same way, when God loves someone, He also wants to show off what He has done for them.  "Look at the creation I made, look what I created."  He would say look not just at the ocean and mountains, but the small planet Earth, the stars and the galaxies.

He would want to give it all to you.  Then His child would be proud and say that God was number one.  They would embrace and become one.

What if God only created His children with nothing to show and they just sat together in the empty sky, looking at each other for eternity?  That would be no fun.

We need an ideal, something to aspire to.  God has an ideal that He wished to accomplish after created humanity.  To fulfill that ideal, we have a vast universe in which to travel.  We need to enjoy the world and ideal things.

With this clumsy body you can't even travel to one planet, yet God has created millions of planets. 

In order to travel around God's big world, you have to travel faster than the speed of light, faster than electricity.  Without this idea of speed, you are unable to travel throughout the universe.  Did you know that you have the ability to travel as fast as the thoughts that come?

We have already traveled to the moon.

That's why God can control the universe.

With love's power, He can travel even faster.  Therefore, even God needs an ideal.

We need the four seasons and the changing weather, the great beauty of the universe to praise God for.

Some people may complain about spring, and like only autumn.  Other people say they hate winter or summer.  If you want to be in the image of God, you will go through all these seasons.  You may like winter, but you have to go through spring, summer and fall.

Would God only like comedy and not a serious drama?

Does God have a sense of humor and joke with loved ones?

If God was to disappear briefly, you become sad.  This sadness is not bad, because it gives additional stimulation when your loved one returns.  Love is never boring.

Over the course of history all peoples will be treated fairly. 

History does not flow in a straight line, but in waves.

A person may have a tragic history, but will experience glory at some time.  Stronger nations may conquer smaller nations, but at another time, the smaller nations and oppressed people will conquer the great nations.


That is why I do not come from a big country. I came from the small country of Korea to bring to America the ideology which can conquer. So far in the materialistic, scientific world, America has led the way. But the small country of Korea has a new spiritual ideology that will control the world. It is only fair. History is turning around.



These events are not happening separate from the rules of the principle.

Most of the problems that are occurring today, began because American society is very wealthy.

American homes enjoy so much that they do not appreciate it.  In essence, family members are not experiencing true spiritual love between each other.  Therefore, there must be a change that comes about throughout the nation.

Our planet earth even breathes.  It also expands and contracts.

This amount of change that comes about is very small compared to the size of the planet.  Still the earth swells and shrinks.  Do you think your cells in your body also breathe?

Scientists today are trying to prove that you do not need love to create a human being through a test tube, but every cell carries life.  Would you like to live on this clumsy earth forever as many dream, or would you want to become the central element of love and live forever without any limitation?

Well, does that mean you want to go to spirit world immediately?

Even with the Concorde, it would be difficult to stay up with the speed of God with our clumsy bodies.
 Does that mean you want to go to the spirit world very quickly?

Our real, true body is our spirit body, and our real world is spirit world.  This is reality.

God who is a spirit, created the body only to help the spirit become perfected while on earth, following Him looking over the universe enjoying eternal life.

God created man in spirit and body.  This is how God designed it.

Then you may wonder why would God need to make the external world and our clumsy, fragile bodies in the first place.

God's creation is the manifestation of spirit through the visible material.  God is the ultimate spirit like the north pole, and creation is the south pole.  That's man.

In other words, man is the visible image of God.

The central line where God can look down to the other extreme is the line of love.  God dwells in the center.  There, life, love and God's ideal world are all concentrated on this line.  That is the axis which turns.

You also want to live forever.  You want to have love.

You also want to have ideals which these things you crave are concentrated on this line.  This is the universal center for everyone.  It does not matter whether you are yellow, white or black.

God will be proud of His creation when man also rejoices over it. 

When you look at grass, you know that God made each beautiful green blade for you.  When you hear birds singing, you can think, "God created them for me.  Thank you God."

If you do not have this fundamental understanding about God's creation, you will not have gratitude.  \

Once you understand that everything was created in the pair system, God is the subject looking for His true object, and all the universe is the object to man, then you know that things are created for you.

Then you will understand that the central spirit behind all of creation is love.

Who is God and what is God?

God is the one who created life as a foundation.  He is searching after perfection in love, and he has a great ideal.

You and I are God's object, so therefore you pursue the same thing God pursues.  First of all, I must be an eternal being because my Creator is one.  Once you have eternal life, then what?

You fulfill love.

God's ideal is to fulfill love, therefore you want to make that circuit of love with God.  God is sacrificial and unselfish.  You want to truly give everything to God and God wants to give all He has to you.

In this respect, you want to own the entire world.  Within the spirit of love, you are able to do that.

God has a desire to love men, but how is that possible with men who do not possess love?

Man has the possibility to give and take in love, and then God can freely exchange His love with man.  The blessing will only come after a man or woman learn the true value of love and experience that love.

From this point of view, we know that the fall of man meant that man became numb to love when they did not follow God's word.  They did not grow to understand true, Godly love.

Christians always speak about being saved and how they want to have their little corner in heaven.  Most of them do not care about the world or about loving all people.  Being comfortable in their own lives and the few people they may meet, they do not waste their energy on world affairs.

Heaven is not a place. Heaven is love. 

It is a popular notion that heaven is a place in the sky and just by mere belief in Jesus as God's son you will enter the pearly gates.  Preachers may tell members of their congregation that when they pass on, all of their sins are automatically cleansed and they become perfect to live with God for eternity.

If you do not perfect your love or possess God's ideal and practice it on earth, you cannot speak about heaven.  Salvation becomes a visible image of God from the extreme of the material world.

If you yearn to go somewhere, you do not get there by just lying down and sleeping or hoping to get there.  God's desire is to perfect His visible image of man.

Therefore, we are not the subject, but the object.  Do you want to live by your own will and fallen ideals?  Live by your own motivation?

Americans practices too much individualism where each does not worry about others except their own position, situations and happiness.

How can they be harmonized with the universe with that kind of mindset?

With that kind of selfish motivation, the more you move, the more you become distant from the universe and further from unity.  You are separate from the universe and do not harmonize.  Is the American ideal a step forward or backward from establishing world peace?


Every day I am working to cut out all the old ideas and give you clean new ideas. But the old ideas tend to creep back in again! Think about yourself-how many times do you have to keep cleaning out the old ideas? You want me to do things the American way. If the American method would build the Kingdom of Heaven at once, I would be happy to do that. I am a logical person. I look at the truth, and if there is a better and faster way to achieve it, I would take it. 


Our problem is that we never threw out the old way of thinking that came with sin.  We just keep carrying them around.


But I devised a new way to get rid of them: It will be you a very narrow gate and a crooked road, and as you go along your luggage will get worn out and you will throw it away. I will push you faster and faster, and soon you will lose your old ideas.


Honestly, have you had to keep re-examining your old ideals?  To go God's way toward world restoration, you must be pushed out the narrow gate in order to be hardened and disciplined.

You will be tested and you can thank those who persecute you because you will find out how tough you are.

People come from all over the world with big bundles of ideas.  Satan would excuse if we just leave them alone or cut them from the dispensation.

The best way is to leave your luggage behind on your own.  We should make a pledge among ourselves to get rid of our baggage.

When you fundraise door-to-door, you can think of it like visiting another planet for the day.  Some planets will give you the cold shoulder and some people may shout or accuse you.  When you visit such a planet, you can think of that house as the winter season.

When you get a hot welcome, think of it as summertime house.

Through this type of work, you can rehearse everything in your life.  You should be able to be a rounded character that can like all season, weather and atmosphere.  This is your goal while you are here on earth.

By digesting with love everything happening here on earth, you become successful in your life.

Satan will naturally surrender in competition of love and has no defense when you practice intense love.

Love is your best offense and your best defense.  You can make love wider and wider because it has no limit and can break all barriers.  This is the original concept of God's creation.

For the first time in history, the concept of creation which is God's ideal is being followed.

Through the fall, man lost the knowledge of true love and love's order.  Man has remained in the dark of self-centeredness.  We must liberate mankind from its selfish lifestyle and behavior.  Wherever you go, you should be the crossroads where love, life and ideal are concentrated.

With it, there is nothing you cannot win.  Without it, there is nothing you can win.  Therefore, you must always defend these three points.  This is what God's strategy has been all of this time.

Is it right to refuse to go to a home because they are atheists and do not believe there is a God?  You should embrace such a family and be sacrificial toward them.

God always sacrifices Abel for the sake of restoring Cain.

For this reason, you are pushed strongly.

As people of faith, you are in the position of Abel, so you must demonstrate sacrificial love to save those in the Cain world.  The more you practice this greater love, the wider your horizon becomes.


 I have lived this principle all my life. I always forgave the people who mistreated me, and sacrificially loved them. Eventually they were conquered by love, and my own horizons became wider. Do you think I am very tough, or vulnerable and easy to break? I will never break. 


You, too should also have that kind of toughness that Father has that nothing can stop your life power.  If you are not able to demonstrate that power of life, love and ideal, God will not be able to have a good rapport with you.

God is eternal and tough.  When you resemble the Messiah, God will know He can trust you and deal with you.


When I issue a direction, how do you answer? Pushing you out and making you hard does not benefit me; it only brings criticism to me. I don't need your fund raising because I do not spend American money for my purpose. I can take care of myself. It is not for my own benefit that I push you.


If someone was trying to take your life power away from you, would you just give up in defeat?  What if your former boyfriend or girlfriend wants you to come back to them, will you just say, "To heck with eternal life, I just want to have fun"?

Do not do things that cheapen your life.

You are not able to swap the extreme value of your life for even the whole universe.  Your life is connected to God and is there for eternity.

Your life should be full of give and take with God.  Would you give up this pure relationship over a girl nagging you?

Are you able to sell your life cheaply?

Even if millions of Americans were to come against you, you still cannot sell it.  Even if the entire earth came after you, still you cannot sell it because it is more precious than the entire cosmos, equal to God.

Ungodly love brought about the fall of man below God's ideal and brought death and misery.  Through restoration, we have found true life.  Eternal life.

In order to restore the original love before it was lost through the fall, you should not hesitate to do anything that will bring you closer to the ideal.  Therefore, it is your pride to be persecuted, condemned and spit upon for the sake of restoration of true love.  Many saints, people of faith and conscientious people went this way of love for the world.

God created original love and now you are restoring it into wholeness.  You are doing the things that are as important as God is doing.  How great is this sacred work we are doing?


 Until God and the world are united in rejoicing over God's one principle, I shall not relax one minute. No matter what, you must defend the central point where life, love and ideal all come into the center.


We are pursuing that kind of eternal life here in the church and that kind of God-centered love and ideal.  The world is our stage.  If we are not victorious on earth, we shall never prevail eternally.  We have not been able to win the ultimate victory yet.

Instead of running many races, just think about being victorious all at once.  Think how to condense everything into one race.  You'd want to participate in that kind of game and that is why you become a champion for all seasons, in all areas.


I have a good brain and I am always thinking about what the one game is in which I can win everything. God wants to see His son win that kind of certificate. 


Think of that one game where you can win the championship.  That game is Home Church.  That is the place where you can run with your life, love and ideal.

No matter what people will say about you will not make a difference.  Go ahead and run in all directions with this principle.

If others sleep for five hours, you will sleep for four hours.  If they sleep four, you sleep three.  If they sleep for one hour, then you get no sleep at all.  You  must have strong life power.

Father lived by that high standard.  Many people think that he is like superman with an iron body as he was was in his 80s giving 10-hour speeches, playing sports and talking with leaders from around the world all day and night.

He may not be Superman, but he has an iron spirit.

Our mind tends to be unfocused and jump all around, but his mind is like a rock that stays firmly in place, period.  Once he set a goal and marched forward, there was nothing under the sun that could move him away from it.  He is determined that no matter what hits him, he would not shatter.

 I will not slow down at all. That is the kind of teacher and leader you have.

Whether you go to Africa, South America or Asia it does not make a difference where you are persecuted, how can you forget what you represent?

Wherever you go in the world, you stand on Principle.  God gave you Home Church as the stage to practice the principle with the people there representing the world.

Therefore, season your life with life power, love power and ideal power in your home church.

If you want to get a Ph.D, you have to work day and night.  Sometimes people may spend many years on their dissertation.

This work cannot be done in your own way,  it must be accomplished based on the Principle, in God's way.  You want to meet the three criteria of life, love and ideal.

When you think you have passed, then you will be given an exam to test how you did.  Then God will examine it and add the final signature.  Unless your certificate is signed and completed, it will not be accepted anywhere.

Go ahead and create the power of life, love and ideal so that your cup will completely overflow.

If you say this task is easy to do, then you are faking.  Life, love and ideal are important to us.


I know that it is not easy because I have been suffering all my life. What I had to obtain was so important that there was nothing I could not endure. I have already graduated, and now the next seven years are your course. I have become the school principal and now I can put my signature upon your certificate.


From the bottom of your heart, do you believe that this is the most important thing to practice?  Would you do this work of restoration if you were blinded, and your ears were cut off and you could not hear?

The Bible uses very severe language such as if your arm or leg hinders your work for God to cut it off because sin is detrimental.  With sin there is no way out.

If you pledge that today is a new day to begin practicing the Principle raise your hands.  Let us pray.

Return for Tomorrows Post: Even an Atom Has Aspirations

This post was rewritten from the speech Things That are Important to You

Utopia is Possible

I have investigated during my entire life the best way to accomplish the ideal, and there is one unfailing formula: that of sacrifice, suffering and receiving persecution for the sake of goodness, and serving others with true love.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon



What do you believe is the ideal world?

The ideal world is a world or Utopia is where you can go anywhere in the universe freely, without any blocks or barriers.  This is including national and racial boundaries.

There is no person so contented with himself that can resist a person who brings true love to him.

Whether they are white, black or yellow, or atheists or communists, all people are attracted to the person who is genuinely trying to sacrifice himself for their sake.

Thus, total freedom comes to such a person.

These are satanic characteristics: jealousy, arrogance, self-promotion, and sacrifice of the whole purpose just for one's sake.

The "I" viewpoint is the center of the satanic mentality. 

This viewpoint, however, will never bring a person total happiness.  Such a person finds himself alone and rejected by everyone, including his own spouse and family.

Clearly, then you can see that God's way is superior to Satan's way.

Even the most selfish person wants to see a kind of Utopia, but the road to that ideal is only brought about through a  life of service and sacrifice for the sake of others.  The true ideal will never be achieved in a dreamy, unrealistic way.

The principle of service and sacrifice will never change.  The past, present and the future are within its realm.

Not just this world, but the spirit world is also guided by this principle.  Therefore, you cannot just work diligently in your home church area with an attitude that you just wait to earn your certificate to go to Heaven.

The purpose of Home Church is to send the people there to Heaven first.

In that way, you go to Heaven yourself.  Only having an attitude of true love can enable you to do this.   You should desire to pass along the blessings you have received along this pathway.

You then are able to achieve victory through the heart of sacrifice and service and true love.  This is the Principle.

Few know the fact that we must first be welcomed on earth before we are welcomed in the spirit world.  Therefore, the statement, whatever is loosed on earth is loosed in heaven.  We must do the work of restoration here on earth.

To do this work in spirit world takes thousands of years.


If you went to spirit world right now, you would know that what I am saying is absolutely true. People can serve God in many ways; perhaps a great architect might dedicate a beautiful building to God.  But when you dedicate yourself to working in your home church area, that is the offering God is most eager to accept at this time. 


The greatest pain God suffered was when He lost Adam and Eve through the fall.  Therefore, God's greatest joy comes when you offer your Home Church of witnessing constantly to 360 homes in your area back to Him.

Through your work of home church, you are restoring yourself back to the position of Adam and Eve before the Fall.

It may seem small to you when you are witnessing, but it has the greatest meaning of all to God.

From this time forward, true family trees of goodness will begin. 

By restoring your family back to the original position, your name will be at the top of the family tree and from that point, your new family history will begin.  To bring the ideal in a tangible way has never been presented before in history.

You, certainly, must have a plan before you go for the goal based upon valid reasoning and the confidence to carry it out.

Now that you have a strong and clear understanding of how restoration works, you will encounter stronger opposition from the people wherever you go.

This opposition will be short-lived and  you will be able to accomplish the same level of restoration as the Messiah did in a much shorter time.

We must head forward toward that goal of restoration; it is truly all that matters.  Of course tending to your family matters and your children are important, but the most significance is home church work in God's dispensation.

You must do this work of Home Church to receive the free pass to Heaven.  If if you do home church all of your life and you were not able to marry, once you go into spirit world, you would be would be able to go to Heaven.


I want to teach you all the things you need to know to get to Heaven; I don't want you to blame me later. No one can force you to do home church. God would like to take you to Heaven regardless of what you do, but Satan will not let you go without some condition.


Therefore, let us all move forward together in unity to the total completion of God's ideal world.

Since you recognize the Messiah in this age and are connected to him, you are related to him.  Even though we all look different - some of us are blond, some have dark hair and others black hair - every part of you is related to the Messiah.

Now, that you understand the importance of Home Church, please raise your hand if you are determined to do it.  God Bless you.




Return for Tomorrow's Post:  Even Evil People Want to Possess Good

This speech was rewritten and given by Reverend Sun Myung Moon based upon the Completed Testament caled the Divine Principle which reveals the truth of the Bible from God's point of view.

Witnessing Teaches True Love

Many Americans believe that the times which we are living are much better than the olden days, but the truth is the days of the past are much purer and better.

Of course there was much blood shed and many wrongs of the past, but from the viewpoint of values, we must restore this to the present time because this opposite direction leads to destruction.

But Americans will not just simply accept such statements.  We must be able to clearly explain why we must live a purer way.  We must do so quickly because the time is short and unless we cand do this, America cannot be saved.


There have been many changes in public opinion taking place without you even realizing it. Righteous Americans have joined the staff of the Washington Times, even taking a cut in salary, because they felt inspired to join the new conservative movement.


How responsible do you feel for following these words?

Many speeches speak about witnessing to the home church providence in your area comprising of 360 homes.  How many homes in the past week did you visit in your home church area?

Throughout history, many religious people have made tremendous sacrifices and millions have been martyred for their belief in God.  Because of this collective merit of sacrifice and blood, home church is now possible.

There is a value and meaning to this providence because the 360 homes in your area represent all the people in the world.

By witnessing to them, you are doing the same work as working with people all over the world.  Through this, you are able to restore your  family.

If you are not able to do the work of home church, you will be severely judged later.

On the church level, we have not been able to go beyond the family level.  There are many families, but in comparison to the ultimate goal this accomplishment is small.  Unless we are able to go to the larger levels of society nation and world, our level of freedom will not be complete in the spirit world. We will have limited movement there.

As we do the work of restoration every day, corresponding areas in spirit world open and are created at the same time.  At best we have the freedom, right now, to move about at the community level.

There are many borders and boundaries in areas of the spirit world just as there are here on earth.

We witness to people on a one-to-one basis, but at this rate how will be able to expand to the world level?

Your responsibility is to expand to the highest levels.

This is for the sake of your clan.  When you do home church and the people there understand God and His will through the Completed Testament, Divine Principle, then they will be able to educate your clan.  They will become better teachers than you are.

You can think of it in relation to Cain and Abel in your clan.  Your responsibility in the Abel position is to stand on the central point guiding others, living the heavenly, vertical standard yourself.

When you are able to do that, you are able to inherit the position of a true parent.  By standing int hat position, you receive God's love directly, Father love.  Mother's love and the love of brothers and sisters.

If we were able to see with a spiritual microscope, we would be able to see that every one of your cells reflects one of those kinds of love.

They would not be able to just see you alone in your cells, but that you have achieved unity and selflessness.  You can then confidently claim that your 'I' now is different from the 'I' before, because it is reflecting the love of God, parents and brothers and sisters.

Have you thought before about your cells carrying all these different elements of love?

People will automatically like such a person when they see him.  When a person lives only for himself, however, it is hard for anyone to like him. It is even more difficult for God to be pleased with him..

But when you are full of love of others, God will love everything about your eyes, nose and everything else that belongs to you.

Your parents would love you more than you love yourself and will want to share everything they have with you.


Whenever anyone comes to visit me, I try to show love to that person and treat him better than anyone has ever treated him in the past. This is the attitude I want to teach you; whenever you take any position, you should take it with the most loving heart. If you become the president of some organization, be the most loving president that group ever had.


When it is time for the blessing, arranged marriage, many may wonder why they were given the spouse that was picked for them and they want a better one.  If you think that your fiancee is very difficult to love, then when you are able to love them, you will be the king and queen of love.

Do you think God would like such a complaint and think you should have a different fiancee and will change you around?

We each have an endless realm of love to connect with if you make a success out of your relationship.  Certainly, then, God will want to fill you with everything you need.

Every bridegroom should think of his bride as more precious than royalty as if she was his queen and  vice-versa.

The blessing is given to reverse the position of the fall and connect man and wife to the direct blood lineage of God.  How tragic would it be if you knowingly or unknowingly stopped it?  Your ancestors and all of creation will accuse you if you prevent them from being connected to God.

Sometimes, people join the movement with such zeal, but after a few years of hard work, their enthusiasm diminishes.  On the other hand, there is the member that doesn't get much attention at first but gradually build up his accomplishments.

Which member would you like to be?

Naturally, you want to go up, not down, but if you do not follow simple directions like working for the home church providence, you are going down.  You may say that you will carry out your responsibilities as a person of faith, but how much have you actually carried out?

Maybe the American youth have not lived up to all their promises, but another country will.  If the time comes when the white people fail to complete God's time table, then the black people will rise up and become the leaders of the world.

We must realize that America has been helped because it is at the center of God's providence for restoring the world.

If America is not able to do as much as they can and fulfill this mission of world salvation, there will be accusations by your ancestors and all the white people there.

Americans have been taught this material through public speeches and lectures more than any other country and any other religion.  The consequences of missing this opportunity will be much more serious than you think!


This morning I am dressed in a suit and tie because of Sunday Service; normally, however, I prefer to wear less expensive clothing. I have trained myself to conserve water which is so plentiful here in America, because I know how little clean water is available in other parts of the world, especially Africa. If you consistently try to look at things from God's viewpoint, these things are very basic ways of living.


This is why other members from poorer countries do not accuse Father or believe negative information even though they have suffered deprived lives and he is living in comfortable surroundings.

He doesn't feel proud of those things and always thinks that he will see to it that everyone around the world has this kind of environment.

Each of us must live according to the true vertical standard and continuously widen the sphere of influence.  You mustn't think, "Just let the world take care of itself. I am satisfied just as long as my family is doing fine."

The idea is to expand in all four directions, so you need to be moving from the East to the West securing both ends.  Maybe in the future, Western students will want to travel to the Eastern Universities and vice-versa.

If these students' desire is to truly learn from another culture, they can't just have a few small experiences just for purpose of reference and take it back to their native culture.  They can only expand themselves by taking the culture seriously trying to learn from it.

Families that have lived a sacrificial lifestyle for God, should be proud of their sons and daughter going to the remote parts of the world because in this way, cultures of the world can be linked to the families of the highest vertical love of God.

They will also be linked to the deepest horizontal love between people.

Thoughtful and conscientious people around the world will agree with this.

Americans should be the first to reach out and learn from people around the world.  Some Americans are only able to think that the Western way is only good way.

Once America is able to exhibit such an universal attitude, then the rest of the world will follow.

We should not just form and focus only on our family becoming comfortable with our way of life.  You should understand that if you only have a small influence, then your level of freedom to mobility in spirit world will be also small.


In Korea today, people from all professions have come to respect me, while in America I am still treated as an outcast. Since I fought a legal battle in the Orient, I feel that it is right to face a similar battle here in the West. I will never be exhausted; even though every kind of person may oppose me, I must carry out what is necessary.


Is it ideal to say that only blonde, light-skinned people are the standard for mankind?  Of course not.  Within each single individual, there are all different colors of materials.

The different species of geese, such as the Canadian and Alaskan, do not fight with each other when they cross the border.

They do not fight over color or nationality.  If a geese was to lay a colored egg, the mother would not abandon him.

Geese are not aware of color and do not base their decision off of them.  However, the person who is conscious of his own color and other people's coloring creates barriers and obstacles in his life.

Even though many people may shout for you to go home and you receive much persecution as you walk this pathway, you must recognize your true value.

One day you will be sought after by the whole world.

The earth is divided into the North and South pole.  But, human civilization is divided between the Eastern world and the West.

The two poles of the earth are the vertical line and the East-West is on horizontal line.  When humanity is able to finally unite globally with harmony between the East and the West, Heaven on Earth will be achieved.

Americans have been opposed to Reverend Moon without actually knowing anything about Reverend Moon. Soon, however, the time will come when Americans will quickly change their minds.

Would you like to go to the other part of the world?

The person who refuses to budge becomes stagnant and eventually will decline.  We must widened the individual influence to all the higher levels to the clan, nation and world.

If you are not able to literally expand to the highest levels, then you can connect yourself with the Messiah and follow him.

This ideology of the Divine Principle, the Completed Testament, which this blog is based upon has been persecuted on the worldwide level because it has reached to that position.  Any conscientious person who hears this teaching will see the greatness of its ideology.

You each recognize this, but sometimes you say you wish this path was easier and less difficult and you would be more motivated.  However, if the hardship was eliminated, the there could not be any true restoration accomplished.

The normal course for a champion is to go through many hardships. 

To become a world champion boxer or a supreme martial artist, would you expect to do it without fighting or any amount of training?

You would not be able to win the moment you stepped into the ring just from the first blow of your opponent if you ran out.

The normal course of a champion is to get beaten, to bleed and to have many scars.  But just when things look the worst for him, he is able to stand up and knock out his opponent.  This is the way the champion must go.

Our work on this path of faith is a real challenge as well.

At the time of difficulty, serious people stay and weak, uncommitted people fall away. 

If you are able to continue this endeavor and keep running all the way to the goal, no matter what happens, you are assured of being a true winner and champion.

The Messiah's true work of world restoration is so arduous, those who know his path would not be hungry for that central position.

No one is willing to take over that position.  Actually, within the world of love, there is nobody who can take the position.

Was God's position elected through popular vote?  What about the Messiah?

Certain positions were created before there was a political process conceived.  Likewise, you did not have any decision or chose in who was your parents, brothers or sisters.

Some things in human society will never be changed.

Through the election process, it is possible that a communist is elected president of this country.  If that was possible, Satan would be able to win tremendous influence over the earth.  God has been fighting Satan's influence throughout history and now we are at the culmination point.

The Messiah's responsibility is to achieve and protect the vertical position of love.

We already know that no military power will be able to stop the spread of communism completely.  The battle must be won within the communities and families, where the ideology has been implanted and embraced.

Home church of witnessing to 360 people in your area is the way to fight the influence of communism.

Communism is the enemy of God because it believes salvation through material gain and not through God.  If you have built a strong foundation in your area, you will be able to know if someone enters the community preaching communism.

You will then be able to prevent such unwholesome ideas from invading your area.

New York is in a pivotal position for the world; if it turns toward goodness, the world will follow. If it turns toward evil, so will the whole world.

The movement has focused energies and resources to New York for decades for this reason while others were deserting the city and giving up on it.  We went against the tide at that time.

The young people of the movement have been pushed to be humble and deny themselves to reverse the fallen ways of the secular world.  Even fiancees do not hold hands while other kiss and express their love publicly.

In secular society, people often live together before becoming husband and wife, but we get married and wait a time to do mission work before we consummate as husband and wife.

When you are able to go this way, you go beyond your physical appetites in order to achieve a greater goal.

We may appear to be the lowest people and continue to deny our worldly pleasures, but we are actually becoming greater and greater people.

Those who constantly indulge their appetites will discover that they have not gone up, but down in value.

Likewise, those without the strength and determination will not be able to persevere through the most difficult times.

The Power of Witnessing

Why do you want to witness? Once you have a successful experience, no one can keep you from witnessing.

When you witness, you open the way for others to be connected back to God who is their cause.  You help people find the correct path toward health and perfection.

Could there possibly be anything more valuable that you can give a person than the gift to connect directly to God?

A traffic cop directs the traffic when the street lights are not working properly and does so in an efficient way.  This is your function, too, when you witness the words of God.

You are in the position to tell people which direction they should go.

People would be grateful that they found someone like you who can guide them through the wilderness of this world!

You are the spiritual 'traffic cop' that understands the great power of the universal law.  You realize that this law is about to collide with America's sinful ways.

Of course, you want to tell the citizens of this country as if you were telling them that a large asteroid was headed toward them.

You want to tell them to stop moving in the wrong direction, however people are ignorant to this fact and don't see what is about to happen.  Therefore, they just continue heading in the wrong direction.

You must explain to them why they have to stop and then show them sufficient reasons.

You have to explain to them, "If you go to the left, you will come to a decrepit bridge. If you go to the right, you will find a good highway."

People seek out those who really know which direction they should take.  

This could explain the phenomenon of celebrity.  People place celebrities on a pedestal just because it looks like they are headed in the right direction.

When people see that you know what you are talking about, they value you more.

If you guide people, you should do so with love.  Love them more than their own parents love them.  Once you love in this way, you find yourself in the center of love.  This is the greatest and most wonderful way to live.

When you live this pure way of life, you find yourself getting closer and closer to the central point, which is God.

Our original nature has the desire to return to the center, our cause.  The center is God's realm of love where we can live for eternity.  You were born for the purpose of returning to the center.  Every single person, whether they realize it or not, has a deep desire within him to return to God.

Unfortunately, people are constantly stopped by the influence's from the world which gradually distances them from the path toward God.  This is why those of conscience live in agony.  They want to go 'somewhere', but they don't know where or how to get there.

All most people know is that they are not fulfilled and they have a hole within them that cannot be filled with materials or false love.  It is a very painful existence.

Those who work hard with their mission everyday, may feel that their central figures may not realize their value.  That person should be aware that God and the universe do recognize his value, even better than his leaders.

The same is true of you.  You may work hard for the sake of others forgetting your own desires, but no one may acknowledge it.  Parents understand that feeling.  Still, you should know that God understands your situation and He appreciates what you do for His will.

The year's motto is "Victory of Home Church".  Home church is witnessing to 360 homes in your area and loving them as your own children.  The people in that area represent the people of the world, and as you shed tears and sweat for them, it is the same as doing the work for the world.

This foundation was laid by the 6,000 years of religious history.

When home church is done successfully, it enables us to launch ourselves like a rocket back to our source, God.

If it wasn't for this superhighway reaching toward God's heart, it would take thousands of years to retrace the steps through Biblical history to restore that foundation.

Instead, you are guaranteed by going in this direction, you can get back to God in a shorter time.  If it is not done here, it takes thousands of years once you enter spirit world to fulfill this mission.

Even though you may be yelled at or have doors slammed in your face, the value of this work is priceless.  The more tears you shed, even though others may not see your value, brings you closer to God.

This is the value of home church.


I have been pushing you in a certain direction, and I recognize that it is difficult for you in the Western culture to change yourselves.  Nevertheless, I push you forcefully to go a certain way. Why do you think I do this? Judged from a personal standpoint, I am losing much more than I am gaining. If I were living for my own benefit, I would never live in this way. I live this way because I know that I can teach you the solution to all the problems in life.


There is always a conflict between the true nature we inherited from God and the fallen, human nature we acquired by disobeying God.  You know deeply that your original, godly natural desires is to be with God.

Once you realize this fact, you don't say that you do not want to go that way because it is too difficult and let others do it.

Once you fully understand that your purpose is to go in the direction of God, it is normal to want someone to push you in that direction because we each have our weaknesses.  But someone who has to be constantly pushed to go in the right direction will never get there.

No matter the difficulty and the challenges to go the opposite way of our sinful selves, it is of the utmost importance to achieve our purpose and goal of returning to God.  Now, that we understand this, there should be less reason to complain.

Thus, you would not look for approval for your witnessing efforts.

God and the universe know that you are still far away from perfection.

You shouldn't want to hear a lot of praise.  You don't want to complain about your situation either.

You only want to go toward the goal, hoping to achieve it during your lifetime bringing others with you on this pathway toward world peace and restoration.

World peace begins with the individual.

This is really all you want if you understand how important it is to reach your perfection.

Those who resolve to go toward that goal, raise your hands. Thank you.



Return for Tomorrow's Post: America Must Change Direction

This post rewritten from the speech Our Deep Desire of Our Original Nature

Persecution of Home church

Home church is witnessing to 360 homes in your area and bringing them to the The Completed Testament and the true way of life. This way their families can join in the dispensation of the new era of Heaven on Earth upon the work of the Messiah of the Second Coming.

Your ultimate destination is God's heart, and home church is your grammar school.  

When you accomplish this, you will have finished grade school level.  Then, when you bring America to the truth, you will have finished high school.

When the communist world tags along, you will have an MA.  When all of spirit world is reorganized, you will have a Ph. D.  After you finish your work in home church, everything that follows after is easy.  It will take just a few hours of work.

First, you must lay the foundation.

Before, we were persecuted in the past when we did this work.  Now, we must work in a wide area and stir up people.  We are sowing seeds in various places.  These seeds will be harvested one day.

This harvest belongs to the world.

You have a definite area in which your seeds will grow and can harvest as your own.  You do home church for yourself, because you need a foundation on which to stand for your family.  Home church does this.

God has been collecting all of the blessings accumulated from the persecution of His faithful children.  So, even though you are persecuted, we are harvesting the seeds we sow now.  This work is worth doing.

Where do you sow your seeds?

You sow seeds everywhere you can.  If you follow the providence of restoration led by the Messiah and like him, then  your home church people will like you and want to go everywhere you go.  You become the ancestor of a new tribe.

We have always been aware that God is a God of love, but now we understand clearly why God allows His people to be persecuted through yesterday's post.

Persecution is not for just your own sake. Now that we understand the standard of liberation through suffering and persecution, we have to run even faster.

We need to educate people what type of world this should be and the kind of work God has been building throughout history.  Now that you have been educated on these principles, you can discern who are the good and bad leaders and educate them with this same content.

You are living in a great time built upon the sacrifices of millions of saints and people of faith.  Even if you were to stumble along the way, when  you look up, you will see that you still have gained fruit from all of your work and effort.

You have to have strong determination.  Wherever you go doing this heavenly work, you will be followed by spirits of the Old Testament.

Without working through you on earth, they are not able to get anywhere.

You are also the resurrection of the New Testament spirits and all of the worthy people in spirit world.  You are the key to their liberation and they must follow you.

God is charmed by you.

No one will be able to bother you wherever you go.

Even if your path were to end in death, or to happiness you will be able to go toward persecution happily because you go voluntarily knowing you are not only liberating fallen history but God's sorrow.

If you go this way, because someone forces you and chases you down, then you will not be a victor.  If all of America was to persecute you because they do not understand, yet you still go this way, then victory is ahead.

Do you feel happy or powerless as you go this true way of life?

You mostly feel powerless.  When you are witnessing and working for the mission, you should not feel like a loser who does this work, but a king.

When I found myself in prison, I felt I was king of all the prisoners and everyone would come under me. Now you have a reason to feel that.  Who would God love, a person like me or like you? Father and son should be the same, not different. 


Now you have knowledge how this dispensation of restoration works, are you really going to go this way now?  Grit your teeth and determine you are going to do this for future generations.
