Crossing the Border to Victory

As the saying goes, there are few guarantees in life other than death and taxes.  This is far from the original world which God had bestowed to us.

Everyone on earth has thought about or feared at one moment about the point we cross the last border.

No matter how much we avoid it, we will each die in our lifetime.

This is each human's final destination on earth. We should pass the line even if we have to brave the fiercest storm.  Where is the value in doing well most of the way and then collapsing just before you are to cross the finish line?

On the other hand, what is the use in living the good life if we end up living it in a secular way?  You chose to live the right way by joining and following this way of life.

You can think of yourself as a motley crew.

It is good that you joined.  Even though we are totally focused, we still have doubts that we can make it all the way on this difficult course where many have sacrificed and died to see the day of World Peace. Yet, after thousands years of sacrifice, we the day of peace still has not dawned.

Be encouraged and don't give up in the middle of the battle.

We win victory only as we dash toward the finish line at the last border.

Every human that is born on earth should make this effort to walk this path.

No matter how much opposition or persecution you receive, it is worth continuing on your path.

Opposition is not our concern.

A person that is able to work hard and walk his destined path one step at a time, even if he has to crawl, will eventually cross the final border.

Everyone from the President to the farmer must go this way.  If everyone was to live this way for the cause, then world peace would appear in one generation.

Modeling ourselves after God's external form, heart and divine character

Everyone will eventually shed their physical body and move on to the spirit world, no matter how healthy or wealthy they have lived.

As human beings who are born into this world, we must be prepared for our inevitable death.

We endure through the suffering so we can form our good self into the second self we will be in the eternal world.

Once a mother receives good prenatal education and care while she is pregnant, then the baby will be born as a good and healthy baby.  In this way, your life on earth is similar to the same care and attention you received while in the mother's womb.

We should grow by modeling ourselves after God's external perfect form with His heart and divine character.

As we grow, we should risk our lives in overcoming obstacles in order to achieve this goal of perfection.

Do not sin

Of course if it was as easy as making an effort to never sin again, maybe world peace would have been founded on religious efforts alone.

But when we talk about the mind must be straight, we see why people walk upright; they must be vertical.  We should make our mind completely vertical as God is.  Your body will from the horizontal line.

Accordingly, you must find your true self.

When you say that you have finally found yourself which is in line with God's standard, then God
should be able to agree and the Messiah must agree.

Your relatives, your tribe, nation must also be able to say that is right.  The one who is accused by any one of these is the problem.

In the future, the continents will be divided not based on superficial borders, but between frigid zones and temperate zones.

There will be a time when those who continue to sin a lot despite the world becoming united centered on God's true way, they will be sent to the North Pole.  This is the same as patients who have contagious diseases and are quarantined.

Live and die for the world

We have gone from an era where saints, sages and people of faith walked a blood path to see the day of glory where God standard would shine as the rising sun to an era of individualism.


I did not work hard for the sake of the Asian situation or the Korean people. Think about how to fulfill your responsibilities in the global field and be willing to die for this cause.


When you think upon these things, you must live and die for the sake of the world.  Once you stand on the global level and die for people of the world while embracing your loving spouse, family and race, this is the position you should reach when you die.

We have formed tribes and are now forming a race.

When the founder of the Unification Church dies, he will die for the sake of the world while he embraces Korea, also.  If the Korean people unite and die for the sake of the world, there will be a paht for them to be able to live with the world.  This is how Reverend Moon went forward seeking that path.

Work hard

This is the territory where you work: If you need money, make it; if you need people, work hard without eating or sleeping to raise them.

Do not ask anyone for help.  Do not rely on the church headquarters to help; you should help them with what they need instead.

Work three times harder than ordinary people to make it through this difficult path.

That is why, if I were to live for 70 years, my life content would actually be equivalent to 210 years. Likewise, don't think of living for 100 years; instead, think of working three times harder than others. If you were to live that way for 70 years, it would be worth 210 years. 


Only when you live to this standard can you bear fruit and increase your ownership of love in the spirit world.

When you live that way, you can bear fruit and increase your ownership of love in the spirit world.  That way of life yields a life of freedom in the spirit world.  Your fortune of love will grow.  Your ownership will grow and your sphere of activities will expand.

Work for the public good

Society has moved away from the idea of living beyond the family for the good of the public purpose.  Private matters belong to Satan and public matter belong to God.

What are the laws of heaven which we abide by?  They are to promote the public righteousness.

Even if you are opposed as you walk this course, if you are not disturbed by the opposition but go the way of hardship with vitality, you will become a person of heaven who will welcome spring.

If you notice a greedy shopkeeper, you'll see that that there will not be many customers who will buy from him.  The world does not have a need for a greedy person.

Everyone has the innate knowledge of what is the secrets of managing one's life in terms of distinguishing between private and public matters.

Therefore, if you are unable to go to heaven because you lived a selfish way of life, there will be no excuse that you did not know how to manage your life in the true way.  Why?

You already know the distinction between what is a private matter and what is a public matter without the need to be taught.

Let's say that you and your brother or sister were dividing rice crispy treats equally and you eat your share, but your sister keeps hers without eating it.  Then you wake up at night and you secretly eat your sister's half which she had her heart set on.

Before you can eat it, your conscience will warn you, "You devil you!"  If you are unable to feel this in your consciences, you are not a true human being.

Some people have suppressed their good conscience by so much of their evil deeds that they are numb to its calls of warning.  You should feel this.  Why?

Because your conscience was created to pursue public matters.  Your subconscious is God.

If you follow private desires you will perish.

In the world that originally existed, when you follow the laws of heaven, a mind defends and protects them from destruction.

What does it mean 'originally" existed?

God originally had such a mind and human beings came to have the same mind from the start of our creation.  This is not a man-made law.

Is anyone able to change their conscience's standard by commanding it to follow the way he chooses?
Where does our conscience receive its orders?

We do not know the origin, we do know that it does not originate from us, but outside ourselves.

When we see that our conscience guides feelings that control us, we can understand that they do so over public and private matters.

People struggle internally and externally at the crossroads between good and evil and between their public and private lives daily.

In many cases, people struggle between the two before they settle for a self-centered private lifestyle that does not expand outside the realm of his individual self or family life.

Those who live in this way will perish.

Therefore, in order to go in the right direction, we must repent for our past self-centered, private lives.  They should grit their teeth and push toward living publicly  and end up distancing themselves from the public good.

This has been your life of faith until today.  Therefore, all of those who live a private life, must repent.

Everyone wishes to receive good fortune and to live forever.

In order to live in this way, you must become a public person.

This means in educating your children, don't just love them as your own, but become parents who love their children as offerings for the sake of the people of the world.

Teach them to live for the sake of others.

When you hold your baby to your breast and nurse them, think of yourselves and your baby as representatives of the entire human race on earth.

Become a woman who can nurse your babies with such a heart.

Instead of caring only for your children and how they appear in front of others, cherish other people's children as your own with a loving heart.  Babies who are suckled by such mothers will certainly grow up to become great people.

Of course, you will not be able to see such a result right away in your family, but after the first and second generations among your descendants, there will be born great figures who can rule the world.  This is the formula.

Which would you prefer to dedicate your life toward, a life indemnifying private matters or public matters.  Both are devoted to some purpose.

Such people who are able to risk their entire lives for the good of the public will become great people.

A group like this will set up a new history toward a better world.

This is the course of tribulation which we must follow from now on.  When you manage your life, the issue is whether you can live your life individualistically as much of the world or publicly.

For whom do you eat, wear, buy sell things in your daily life?  Is it for yourself or for the purpose of God?

This is the issue: whether your life is a private or public life.  Do you have a private or a public mind in all these activities?

You should pledge to go the public way.  If you are supposed to indemnify the sinful, wrong history which humanity has gone, you must advance to the stage that everyone desires.

During each day, you must make effort to transcend private feelings and embody public feelings. This is the important issue that all people of faith must concern themselves with.

What is sin?

Sin came into the world from a private standpoint.  Therefore, ruin comes along through the private way of living.  Evil is the same.  When one pursues private matters just for their own life to a certain degree, they manifest evil.  Private matters only go to a certain limits.  When you reach the limit of a private life, sin, evil and ruin are the result.

Where will be in a position to be eternally good, prosperous and fortunate for eternity?  How do we get to the point where we can prevent sin,evil and ruin?  That position is a public standpoint.  When you speak, you should digest the situation with public words and not from a private mind.  In this way, live connecting all aspects of your lives with public matters.

Such people are not able to go to hell even if they try.

Experience love

Do you live your life only concerned about yourself?  Do you think, "I am the only one."

If everything that your parents and elements supplied by creation were removed from you, you would disappear. So, how can anyone claim that they belong to themselves.

We are each in a position to represent our mother and father.

You live through your mother and father by going through the period in the womb, inherit their blood and flesh and are provided for by them.

In the modern age, the term Mother Earth and Mother Nature are used.

This planet is our mother which provides us with elements at different levels.  What do we breathe while we are in the mother's womb?

e breathe in the womb through the umbilical cord.  This is a hose that is linked to the mother's body.

Now we are connected to this second world, the world of air.  As we emerge from life in the womb, we cause destruction.

Thus, the moment from our first cry, we are connected with the world of air where we breathe air through the nostrils.  Our nostrils are the absolute supply line.

Can we live if our nostrils are all the sudden both blocked?  Any human who is unable to breathe will die.  It is made with a dual structure.

The umblical cord and the placenta which the baby depended on to live is destroyed once he comes from the womb.  So, what appears at the point of death when we are being born into the spirit world?  The baby comes out into the universe, to the Mother Earth and come to live by the supply of elements through its mouth.  Our nostrils are prepared as the airway while we are breathing through the umbilical cord in the womb.

Once we emerge from the womb, we switch the use of the organ and begin to breathe.  Likewise, what must we do in this world to prepare for the next world now?

We must experience love, inhale the air of love from our mother and father and undergo all processes by the supply of the air of love.  Once we are born in a family as a baby, then we go up and then come down along a sine curve.  After we are born as a baby, we grow and age, then we die and are dissolved back into the earth.

We are born as a baby and return to the stage of being a baby again in our old age.  What will happen when we die?
We have to kick away the second womb and be connected to the thrid breathing organ of love which is the air we breathe in the next world.

We kick away parental love and fraternal love and enter teh world of love which is in total harmony with the Original Being of the great cosmos, God.

The spirit world is filled with the air of love.

Therefore, we should prepare our life here on earth as a pipe-like device for breathing love.

We need to experience the spirit world.  We become immortal only when we become people who feel spiritual love and then breathe the air of love.

Then when we kick away this womb we call Mother Earth and come out, we breathe with the respiratory organs of love.  We can gain eternal life only when we inherit the third love.  Where do we go after being connected with love?

We then return to God.

We return to the spirit world by being linked to teh respiratory organ of love.  yet there remains the way to go to God.

Since God is the originator of the seed, it must bear fruit and return to Him.  The course of life being a traveler's journey, then what must we take with us here?  We must go this path of experiencing love.

The Fall meant that we could not receive parental love, we must form the vertical family centering on true parental love, true brotherly love, true conjugal love and true filial love.

Families should be formed in the north, south, east and west.  These families should form true families that can link the vertical with the horizontal.  When this is linked to the realm of tribe, people, nation and world which is bound by love.  This is called the Kingdom of Heaven.

Leave a Tomb of Love Behind

When we think of eternal life, we don't think in terms of years or centuries, we think in millennia or
eons.  When people die, they are no different from animals at that point -  their bodies return to the earth.

What is the use in leaving something behind? Even atheists and agnostics say that they want to leave a name behind for themselves.

What's the use in leaving behind a good name.  Even if you are able to become a patriot or are honored with a monument, it would disappear when that country perishes.

Even if you were to leave your name behind, a name is only able to be considered good during a period os prosperity, but it can later be viewed as bad during a period that the country experiences a period of decline.

God's purpose is to have His posterity populate the earth. 

When we enter spirit world and go before God in the spirit world after leaving behind children who live for God on earth, we also come to stand in His position.

Therefore, how will you live on earth?

Leave a tomb of love behind.

If you live inside a tomb of love, then you will feel no bitter sorrow.

You may get tired living within this tomb, but will feel no bitter sorrow if you live in love.  If you are able to live in a tomb of love in your lifetime, your life will be a success for eternity.

If you are able to live and die living in this way, God will bring His sons and daughters to welcome you in the spirit world.  If there's no ring yet on your hand, God will put a diamond ring of the Kingdom of Heaven on your finger.

If you are not well-dressed, God will dress you in the richest apparel fit for royalty of the Kingdom of Heaven.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: We Must Understand Death, Not Fear It

This Post was rewritten and derived from the textbook Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book Five Chapter 2, Section 2

Why Do We Struggle With Sin?

People wonder why good people and religious people throughout history have always been persecuted.  For this reason, many people believe that that there is no God at all.

They wonder if God is a good all-powerful God, why does He allow so much suffering in the world.  Why have the major religions in their beginning been persecuted?

Persecution comes so that movement can receive blessings in the end.

It has always been true that under persecution a good person would become stronger. 

On the other hand, a self-centered individual begins to lean toward the evil side.  This is an age-old pattern where leaning toward the bad side, we feel ourselves weakening.  No matter how smart, rich or famous a person is, once he decides to stand apart from the side of goodness, he will begin to weaken.

Then the question is what would cause a person to turn away from the side of goodness?  Why does it seem that the rich people of the world seem to be the scoundrels causing many problems , not the good people?

Once a person veers toward the bad side, it is very hard to return to the good side.

But, if a person resides on the bad side realizes his lowly position and why good people are persecuted, he can go once more toward the way of goodness.

Looking at the situation of good and bad sides, then we must know there are two kinds of  gods to govern either one.

One god propagates goodness and one who multiplies and glorifies evil by helping evil people to prosper.

Does it seem rational to think that these two gods worked together to create the world, or did one become a creation from the other?

This is the very question that man has wondered: is man originally good or created to be both good and bad?  Some say that man was both good and bad while others feel that originally he was bad, but was made to have a choice to overcome evil by getting better and better day by day.

Where this confusion of origin lies, people don't have the tools to know which way to go.

Logically speaking, if a bad god created this world from the beginning, then the world will be bad and the outcome would be bad.  But on the contrary, man was built with a godly conscience that pushes us to want to do good.

This good conscience struggles against the heavy stream of badness in this hellish world.

If the world was built to be evil, then why does our conscience exist which causes so much internal struggle within each one of us?

If a bad god created the world then he would not have had room to create the conscience.

Can we conclude that conscience came into being after man was created or that it was part of man all along?  How do we think that conscience was part of man all the time?  How can conscience be such a strong force all throughout history and where does it come from?

Is it possible for a light source in the darkness to keep shining if it was not powered from another source somewhere else? We have witnessed that the conscience has immense power and is always present within us.

So, can we conclude that the conscience is powered by energy from somewhere outside itself?

We know God, so we feel that our conscience must be powered by energy from God.  We believe that the conscience continues to fight against the evil in history until evil is finally conquered and dispersed.

As long as evil remains in man, it will always confront the ways of goodness and will not freely let it go on its way.

Even though a person lives by the guidance of their conscience, they are still tempted by evil.  How can these two conflicting ideas come to reside inside of man?

The only thing we can surmise is that along the way to man becoming perfected, some accident outside of God occurred which caused man to come to contain two opposing elements.

When we build a machine, we want it to work and function properly to perform its duties.  It is not necessary for every part of a machine to break down for it to stop working.  If even the smallest part stops working, the whole machine will not work.

When we examine a sinful man, we can see that there must be a part missing within each of us that is broken, yet the conscience is intact.

Something else is amiss.  When we look further, we will see that somehow the body has ceased functioning.   Man's conscience is still in its original state, but the body must be repaired to function correctly.

There are three types of people in the world: one who lives absolutely by his conscience, one who sometimes does and sometimes doesn't, and finally the kind of person who only lives for his own profit, and never thinks about the meaning behind things.

If there are two gods, the evil god would dominate the people in the third category, plus oftentimes dominate the people in the second category.  The god of goodness can only have a connection with people in the first category

The third category places emphasizes on the body's desires, while those in the second category follow the standard of conscience which changes according to how good or bad their circumstances are.

A person in the first category however is so conscientious that love is part of his motivation in whatever he does.

The world is a museum of people, good, bad and in-between. 

Satan battles over who gains people in either category.

Satan constantly invades the second and third groups, whereas God works the other way trying to strengthen the conscience of man.

Every competition has rules to obey.  There is no exception for good and evil.  These rules must be kept.  What kind of rule would be the standard to apply to all the situations in the universe?

When we take a grand look at the nations around the world and their laws, we see laws that are created to protect the citizens.  Laws are intended to protect goodness from being invaded.

A man must have true love before he can be a true man. 

Also, before God can be a true God, He also must have true love.  We can only think of a true rule in these terms.  Every person good, bad or in-between claims that they take every action from the base of true love, but how do we recognize true love?

True love likes and embraces everything, whether it is in man's world, God's world, or the world of the universe.

If true love was to become visible and rise just as the sun in the morning, everything would see and admire it and never take their gaze from it.  Even those in the spirit world will fix their eyes upon it.  Would everyone in the world rush to be the first to reach there?

Even true love has order.

Man's body also has an order.  Each limb and organ always appear in the same place.  Likewise, when love appears, those who are closest to being true should go there first.  Then, true man comes closest to true love.

But when true love does not show itself, heaven is empty.  Until a true man and true love appear, the real heaven is empty.

God is trying to broaden His territory.  This was the Principle of Creation though history's direction went in the opposite direction.  Wouldn't it be better to live in a domain of goodness than the current world of sin?  This realm would include everything.  Man is raised up enough to be included here, and all things will come under him, the three great blessings.

According to this godly standard, are you a true man?

If a good god created man, then why weren't we born as a true man?  Why does it take so much effort to become a true man after we are born?

Because something in the process of building the first family went fundamentally wrong with man.

Do you want to become a true man?

The first man and woman did not follow the true way and every person has inherited this tainted bloodline nonstop.  Therefore, man has come to live in the area where God does not dominate.  Man has been trying to overcome the effects of the fall through religion.

Man's fervent desire is to return to the original area where God dwells, but some material is needed to form a safe bridge.

This material is a true man.  Finally, God forms a bridge to enable man to go right into His heart.

It becomes clear when we know the small set of rules that govern all of history, then it no longer appears complicated.  It is less confusing than when the rules work on every level at the same time.

Every man was created with a conscience, and without being told, they know what is right.  Therefore, every person's mind has a purpose for goodness.  This intense feeling that makes you feel that you have to absolutely do something for goodness is almost a religious feeling.

When you first wake up and you see the sun shining in the morning, don't you automatically think that it is going to be a good day?  Also, if you were to meet someone early in the day, then you feel that the day will be a fruitful day.

On the other hand, when you meet a 'bad' person, maybe you feel it will be a fruitless day.

But, a religious man will think that when he meets a bad person that it will bring him luck.  They understand the difficulty and hardship will help you pay indemnity!

A bad man can not continue the true way of life for even one full day, for he would be too tired.  Religious people who follow the true way also become tired, but not discouraged.

It would be like an ordinary person might take a whole life to walk all the way to Washington, but religious people might walk all the way to the Orient in the same time.  Some people might climb 3, 000 feet high, but a religious person may climb a 30, 000 feet more.

Every man, good or bad, powerful or weak, wants to change the world the way he likes it.  

If a person has true love, anything can be done because everything he does is within the law of the universe.  If a person has the goal to reach true love in his life, no matter how long it takes, he still has to reach his destination.

Imagine a room is the entire earth and one person possesses a tiny speck of territory.  If this person has true love, the whole world is his.  Even God desires to posses this true love.  Each human has that desire, but usually people don't know why they have this desire.  It is natural.  The purpose of that desire is to guide them to find true love.

It is a good thing if a person posses this strong desire, because it will carry him up high toward true love.  Without this intense desire to have true love, a man will go wrong.

Desire can either be good or bad.

This point must be clear or one will become confused about which direction they should go.  Confusion in love causes you to lose power.  Nowadays, people are confused by the rules of love and follow all the wrong directions not knowing which way is up.

We need material to build this bridge whether it is all things, man or spirit world.

Each person's life is going toward the direction of love.  This is the providence of history to return humanity's path away from the fall toward God's heavenly direction.  Everything is fashioned to be directed toward this goal.  God also, must go in this direction, but without man's help, God cannot go there.

What does God's true love look like?

Is it God Himself or some object?  The object of God is a true man which He gives and takes with true love.  True God and true man were meant to live together centering on true love.

If God can do as He pleases, why does he make man suffer?  Why does man have to work so hard to mend broken history?

Without true man, God cannot completely fulfill His true love. We have an equal position in this.  God gave us a portion of responsibility in order for man to have a part of creation.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: Persecution is Necessary

This post was rewritten from the speech Persecution and Blessing

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.

The Tide of the Heart Post:

This post was rewritten and derived from the speech Let Us Inherit the Realm of Victory.

What Determines Good and Evil?

We have reached a population of seven billion people living on the face of the earth and still growing.  But they are confused from the beginning not knowing their true history.  Where has this chaotic situation began and where are we headed?

Human history is unclear which makes the process also unclear, therefore the end is unclear.  With all situations situations, the only thing that is prospering is confusion.  If we clearly knew the beginning, there would not be up or down and no confusion would exist in the world because our destiny would be very clear, therefore our end goal would be clear.

Our history is not like this.

Human history is full of confusion and continues in confusion.  People think certain things are good and certain things are evil.  There are no set standard of good and evil which everyone clearly follows.  The standard is always changing and for this reason there is greater confusion.

In history, there are two major parts that are always engaged in battle and confrontation: good and evil.  This conflict has caused bloodshed creating confusion continuing in our time.

In history many kingdoms and empires have risen and left the earth.  Those empires and kingdoms do not measure their destiny when they're going up or when they are going down; when they're going to be flourishing or when they are going to be demolished. No one knew.

Every ruler that came into power throughout history wanted to stay in power.  They wanted to stay for good and continue their goodness.  However without them knowing a logical reason, they had to perish and had to be killed.  They're kingdom had to be demolished.

Centered on men, there is good and evil in the world.  So who is going to determine what is good and what is evil?

If there happens to be a good sovereignty or an eternal good power, then that power would control and diminish evil and make good to flourish and continue to flourish.  However, there has not been such a power throughout history.

No one was able to recognize an absolute good solution, good principle or good ruler of the universe. Throughout history, rulers from different empires and kingdoms had to shape their own rules and principles to determine what was good and evil.One is different from other sets, thus from one place to the other, everyone is operating under different criteria of good and evil.

Every country has its own definition of good and evil rules and certain way of punishing evil.  In order to maintain sovereignty, each country had to enforce their own standard of good and evil.  Each country has a prison, a system of judgement and even capital punishment.

Therefore the standard of good and evil has been fluctuating up and down, according to the thinking and standards of each kingdom's ruler and sovereignty. Therefore all of humanity is destined to choose one way or the other.

People have a natural desire to take the good road which they feel they can flourish, but they end up going another way to follow the evil road.  But by following this way, they will eventually perish.  This has been the reality in history.

Furthermore, the conscience has the power of judgment; the conscience can tell what level of evil or what level of goodness. Even looking at similar countries, the conscience will see which country is the more evil country and which is the relatively good country.

The conscience has the power of judgment. 

The conscience does not only evaluate and judge matters, but is also moving itself toward the best goodness it can find.  What is the purpose of education?  Is it to educate the body or the conscience?  If the conscience has the power to judge good from evil, but the body is absolute mess far from the will of God, then what needs to be educated is the body.

 The body has to be guided, educated and led into the right direction.

So when you contact a good man one time, then the second time, and third time, your mind will know whether or not that person is good or evil or how good or how bad.  The mind and body, the conscience and body are constantly fighting with each other.  Each person has a lot of contradiction within himself or herself, but conscientious people have more harmony and cooperation between their conscience and body.

The principle states that the spirit world concentrates on the eternal, unchanging qualities of the conscience because the body is changing all of the time it cannot center on the body.

Our conscience is like the spirit world.  It is unseen, unchanging; spirit world and conscience do not change.  The physical body does not receive or communicate with the physical world.  In order to enter the spiritual world, the body is left behind.

Spirit world vibrates together with the conscience, you can harmonize and receive a message from the spirit world. 

The conscience has one standard following the one principle which is unchanging.  On the other hand, our five senses constantly change as they obey the body with ten different variations and different ways they react to the environment.  Evil uses this loophole to perform its evil acts on a playground flying in and out to do as it pleases.

When the body makes a demand, then the mind or conscience responds and rejects the idea.
Actually, there are a lot of loopholes which allow evil to come inside of us.  The eyes can view a picture many different ways.  The body will follow that image and act upon it causing the body to go down toward the road of evil.  The body chases things that will make it comfortable.  It only wants to eat good food, wear and touch soft clothes and take lots of rest.

Mind is trying to find its own place and harmonize.

We have never seen or touched our mind, but we know it is dwelling within us.  Do we know where the origin or root of the mind or original mind:?

The mind is absolutely invisible. The root of the mind has absolutely clear goals, clear direction, clear purpose-no problem there.  This means that our mind is always working toward the way and the better goodness all of the time.

Would you rather be a son and daughter of filial piety, loyal subject or a rebellious son?  What about a patriot?

If you had to choose between being a patriot or saint which would you choose?  You would probably want to be a saint because being a patriot is only limited to one country and is not far reaching.

On the other hand, a saint is a universal person who is eternal and everlasting.  Here, there is a direction and a purpose with a mind direction and purpose the mind's purpose.  The goal would not be changed for ten thousand years even million of years because it sprouts from the root of the mind.  That is the root of the conscience.

If a man absolutely obeys the direction of his conscience, he is not only known as a noble character, but he will automatically enter the kingdom of heaven.  He would be respected and admired.  The root of this noble character is the eternal center of goodness.

The original root of conscience and your conscience's purpose and direction are parallel.  So, you must know about both.  You should clearly know the purpose and goal and then there will be no confusion.

Then what is the conscience's ultimate goal?  Is our goal to gain knowledge or to be able to brag that your head holds so much knowledge and have reached the ultimate goal of goodness?

Our purpose cannot be to gain knowledge, because this quality is not everlasting and is always changing.  For example, science will tell is that vitamin B is good for the body, but then turn around years later and discover that Vitamin B is the worst thing for the body.

One study will see that a treatment for cancer is not good for the body while another thinks it is the best solution. How do you determine which is true?  Knowledge changes and is always moving forward.  What is known in our time could never have been thought of thousands of years ago.

There is no absolute truth that is guiding the academic world. 

Is money or wealth the goal of the conscience?

If you had millions of dollars in your pocket, you might feel a wonderful feeling, but the pocket rather go rest and swim.  The pocket would feel that someone will always be around to steal it and will become worrisome and watch the money.

Would the pocket be happy or feel restless and worried to carry so much wealth?

Money is not everlasting.  If a person was told to take a million dollar check for a week, but was told they would have to give it back on the weekend, at first they would feel jubilation, but would feel sad once they went home. That's money - money plays a lot of tricks.

In order to maintain power, you cannot just act normally or be a good man - you've got to be absolutely savvy and cruel in order to maintain that power. Saddam Hussein is a good example.  It is said that one only needs power to do evil, because all one needs is love as the motivator.

Because when you have sovereignty position and power, there is always someone else aiming at you, trying to topple that power.

Therefore, there are gangsters and organized crime and the coup d'etat, the military and all kinds of saboteurs, and even other political parties, all of whom are just trying to character assassinate you. They try to turn you into a vegetable so that they can take power. That's the real world. Therefore, political power has nothing to do with eternal happiness.  It will carry itself to the people as if it performing works to bring about a nation of happiness, but it is only for the interest of the politicians.

If you are in a position of power, there is always going to be an adversary that will use all their power to try to topple you over.  They will try to take all of you to turn you into a vegetable so they can take your power. This is the reality of the world and the reason why political power is not the cause of human happiness.

Where Does Love Begin?

Where does life begin?  What about love, lineage and conscience?

All of these begin with the joining of the sexual organs of a man and a woman.  Has there ever been a case where two men or two women were able to begin life and start a new lineage?  The only way is through the opening of the secret place and exchanging possession.

Ideals of man cannot be triggered without the sexual organ of a woman.  In the same context, a woman's ideals cannot begin unless a man's sexual organ touches her.  This is an important point.

What is a marriage ceremony?

It is the connection of love, the life connection, lineage connection and the conscience connection.  


Love Begins

Where God and man's love begins should not be separated and should begin at the same point.

With two different starting points, as we witnessed after the Fall, a unified peaceful world will not be possible.  God and man's love should absolutely begin at the same point.

Once a perfected Adam and Eve marry centering upon God as their root, then Adam and Eve become God substantially.  Then, Adam's ceremony would be God's own marriage ceremony.

God being an invisible God, dwells within Adam and Eve who are visible God. 

God is absolutely vertical and man is horizontal creating a ninety degree angle. To obtain this knowledge was not easy.  The author of the Divine Principle agonized over the solution to the question
"Where does God and man's love begin". Then through this pain, he heard a voice from heaven say that God's love travel the shortest distance.

That shortest distance means any vertical line which intersects with a horizontal line at a ninety degree angle. If it is ninety-one degree angle it is too short and if it is eighty-nine degrees it is too long. The path of True Love is an exact ninety degree angle.

Man and woman's love meet in a straight line and so does God's and they intersect at a ninety degree angle.

"This is the very central place where God's and man's love meet [indicating to the board]. Man represents the sun and woman represents the earth. The sun radiates towards earth. When a man becomes a great man, his wife also becomes great. [Father draws on the board.]

This line denotes the father-son relationship, this one the husband and wife relationship and this front and rear line denotes brothers and sisters. This is the formula for the family system, centering upon True Love.

Centering upon True Love brothers and sisters never fight. As a rule of thumb, if you observe brothers and sisters fighting, their parents are not based upon True Love. Family has everything within it; it has parents, spouses, brothers and sisters. Children are equivalent to brothers and sisters. This is the formula and this is the unit." SMM

Each family is a real microcosm of the huge universe. It contains everything of the universe within it.

We learn how to love based on our relationships established within the context of a family.

If we expand this family who possesses true love for one another to the universal level it still has the same formula:

Children's world, brothers' and sisters' world, parents world and spouses' world.  This is the formula to build a peaceful society at every level.

There are four different levels.

When good education takes place within a family, when the children grow up and move into society, then everywhere they go they will behave according to that education. Everywhere they go they will find parent figures and respect them; every woman a man may meet he would treat with the same respect as his own wife, sister and so forth.

This would make such a person welcomed everywhere.

The family contains within itself the universal foundation.  Imagine a society where strangers would treat each other with the same respect and love as the members of their own family.  This would be heaven on earth.


Principles of the Universe

We spoke in previous posts about smaller entities living for the sake of the whole and how communism had used this to their advantage on the societal level and enslaving the smaller for the sake of the whole.  The original way that has been taught through the Completed Testament is that the  individual must live for and be absorbed by the family; the family likewise must live for and be absorbed by the clan.

At each level, there is a principle of the smaller existing for the larger.  The person is willing to live for the sake of the other through love.  Also, in this way, the smaller does not disappear, but becomes just as great as the larger entity - not be ruled by it.  Just as a farm girl who marries the president can become just as great through his love for her.

This was the key of the original creation. Why do we do this? Because a greater being comes to exist for everyone.

We should have the mindset "whatever belongs to me also belongs to my family. Whatever belongs to my family belongs to the tribe; the tribe's property belongs to the nation; the nation's property belongs to the world; the world's property is cosmic property; cosmic property belongs to God".  This was God's original plan.  Everything went in the opposite direction when man decided to take their own path away from God.

Through love, God gives man everything He possesses.  Since human beings are God's True Love partner, eventually whatever belongs to God belongs to me.  This makes a complete circle. God needs a True Love Partner and that love partner is humankind.

We Went Away From Ideal of Creation

The selfish and Communistic viewpoint of creation is that whatever someone else possesses belongs to me and whatever belongs to me is mine.  This is the opposite direction of living for the greater whole.  God created man huge enough to accommodate all of these things mentioned above.

America was founded on the Christian standpoint of the Bible and lived for the sake of others.  So, should America invest in Africa?  Yes, in order to make whatever America has become the property to the world.

This concept is not widely accepted in today's climate of debt and worry of America's great fall, but this is the principle of the universe.

By America following this principle in the past, it became the only country to become the richest country in only a 200-year period.  For a revolving circle to form, the highest should belong to the lowest.

Haven't you noticed that when a politician is found to have misused public money or encountered scandals that people lose hope in this individual.  It is because they were not following the principles of living for the sake of the whole - the universe protects an individual who lives for love.

Everybody wants to remain in the highest position possible forever, but nothing in existence operates properly in this way.

When we look at man and woman from a scientific viewpoint, they are created as a plus and a minus circuit.  God has male and female characteristics.  Which part of the body makes these two separate entities into one body?  It is the sexual organ.

There has been much criticism for a religious leader that continuously mentions man's sexual organs.  But God created it as the most important and holy, holy place.  After Adam and Eve's misuse of their sexual organs before maturity, it became the most evil and worst place.  If they had waited until the blessing of God's marriage, it would have become an object of praise as true life, lineage and love begin here.

But after the Fall, this holy place became something to avoid, to hide and became vulgar.  However, we must recognize that the key to true happiness, hope and freedom from this hellish world is there.

Therefore, man's hope is a true woman and woman's hope is a true man.

Man's absolute truth being is woman. Woman's absolute truth being is man.

We directly inherited our conscience from God centering upon True Love.  This is why when our body follows the direction of our conscience which is linked to God, and have mind and body unity, we become a perfected being.

Our conscience is the vertical me centering upon God's True Love and the body is the horizontal me.  The vertical love place and the horizontal love place connect the vertical line with the horizontal line at a ninety degree angle which is the sexual organs of man and woman.

This is the only point where love, life, lineage and conscience connect.  The holiest place is the original source of love and the central palace of love.  This is why when Adam and Eve connected sexually without God, everything including heaven turned upside down.

We should understand how blessed a place this is.

Then when we look at the way Americans treat love these day, it is a lifestyle filled with sex with multiple partners and no commitments.  Can this lead the country in the right direction?  What can become of people who misuse this holy place?  Those in the Roman times went down the same dirty road of behavior and met their end.

Would God like to see the holy place misused through homosexuality, lesbianism and free sex?  America has been able to spread this misuse all over the world through media and Hollywood making it look glamorous and free to do whatever you please with love.  This is a false culture which America lives, far from its founding Christian principles of family.

Looking through many posts about how world peace will be achieved on the individual level, it may seem that love is overemphasized.  But if we cannot maintain this sacred place securely, then we cannot keep our love, life, lineage and conscience.  What kind of world is it if it contains individuals who have neither of these?  It is the opposite of a world of peace.

True Love, True Life, True Lineage and true conscience can never be obtained without going through the joining of sexual organs centered on God.

This is why the husband and wife are so important.  God's enemy of love knew this and focused on damaging the man and woman relationship and destroyed God's original path for mankind.

We must clearly understand that the beginning of the world problems begins with the misuse of the sexual organs.

History attests to nations going to war over the loss of love.

What loving wife would gladly lose her husband to the bed of another woman?  What true spouse would be grateful to share their loved one with multiple partners?

Seventy percent of divorce in America is said to originate from women. Women take part actively in free sex here. This is unthinkable. Sometimes by force, and sometimes voluntarily, it all comes from ignorance. Women are worse than men in this regard.

Even though the original world or Utopia has faded away in history, within each fallen person there is still the desire to live in such a place inside of the conscience.  This is a hopeful light for salvation from this hellish reality far from God's plan in which we live.

There may seem like there is no hope for man to live in a peaceful world, but only in the conscience is this life still remaining within us. 

We can look at the different levels we must restore like a ladder.  There is an individual ladder, a family ladder a clan-level ladder and so forth.  We cannot jump over the different levels.  

The shortest way is the only way in which you can travel up a ladder. Going up step by step, this is the ladder of conscience.

We already know how this misery occurred through the Fall. The remedy for this is to suppress our bodily desires and give rise to our conscience. That conscience is very much bound and gagged right now.

The way to restore the misery caused by the fallen misuse of the sexual organs is to suppress our bodily desires and give rise to our conscience.  Right now, our conscience is bound and gagged in the secular world.

God gave us religion in order to teach us how to overpower our fallen bodies and follow our God-like conscience.  The day of liberation of our conscience will arrive very soon.

Which is larger, a sack of conscience or a sack of love?  The sack of love.  What kind of love?  True Love.

This is because conscience is born out of love.  Conscience is in the minus position to love.  When you place True Love into the bag of conscience, everything becomes so filled up that it does not desire anything else.

When the conscience is filled with great love one can feel like they can dance, sing and enjoy life and enjoy any position they may be in even if they fall and hurt themselves they will remain happy filled with this love.

This is how we subjugate the body and make it submit to its master, conscience.

Let us march forward towards the era of the liberation of conscience. In order to do so we have to accomplish these three points.

No one realized how important our conscience was into bringing down the world of evil and transforming it into a world of good.  Our conscience has always been with God.

The conscience remains the same constantly. 

My parents are only connected to me by one generation before me. Therefore, conscience is more important than my parents. My conscience is my utmost teacher because it is directly connected with God. When you follow your good conscience absolutely, you don't need a teacher.


God is an absolute teacher. Conscience existed before life itself, and it is my best teacher.


If Adam and Eve united first with God through His marriage, we would not have to pray to God because we would be God and dwell with Him.  Because of conscience we can be higher than God Himself in this respect.  This is the original plan.

The first time this point was realized it was a shock.

God gave us the three blessings based on this principle of the smaller becoming greater by being absorbed by the larger entity.  Therefore, God bequeath even Himself to us to make his counterpart greater.

When we understand this point, we see that many religious leaders have taught many things throughout history bringing more confusion and war.  Now we live in a time where our conscience is being liberated and everything is becoming God-oriented.

When we fully understand that we are God's partner and not his slave, we want to make the world a world of conscience.  We want to make a world of peace.

God would help us in our efforts for a peaceful world and has been through all of history.  When we exert our power in order to restore this fallen world it is possible with God to have a world of peace.
Then we understand how precious man's value is.

When we compare this original value of man, we see that we have been reduced to appear as maggots in comparison.  How sad a situation for God who knew our greater worth.

Conscience is higher even than parents. The conscience exists before the teacher himself. This means that the conscience is ahead of the teacher.

Do you think that God or your conscience knows first what you do? Clearly your conscience knows first.

Your conscience knows whatever you have done good or bad in your life thus far. It is like your heavenly computer. 

When you ascend to the spiritual world your tape will be played back to you in one minute reviewing your whole life's deeds.  It is important to know these things.

Even the most loving parents, because they are older than you, cannot stay with you and protect you forever.  However, your conscience will.  When the daughter marries, the protection of the daughter ends.  However, that daughter's conscience will protect her life always from going astray.

Before God knows our actions, our conscience already knows what we are going to do.  This is why it is important to follow our mind and subdue the body.

Conscience exists even before God. 

If we understand this part of the teaching then our style of prayer will change. Where does the infinite God live?  He lives in the True Love dwelling place.  Where is this place?  It is in the most holy, holy place.

The sexual organ of man and woman.   We must restore this place and protect it forever.  Now that we see the importance of our holy place, our lives should be conducted accordingly to protect it.


"Therefore, when you wake up and throughout the day you have to give thanks to your holy place. Actually we should bow down to one another as husband and wife for each other's holy place. Do you understand? (Yes.)

That place is the starting place of heaven on earth and in heaven. Without this the Kingdom of Heaven on earth cannot come into existence.

Happiness, hope, peace and freedom all want to live on that base. But without this holy place none of these ideal concepts can come into being. Are you clear? (Yes, Father.) This place is the universal ideal center. Now you understand how precious is that place.

Do you understand or not? (Yes.)

Through the Fall we lost everything -- the True Self, True Family, nation, world, and universe. All things were lost, including God Himself.

Centering upon True Love the vertical Father is God. Now we understand everything.

You have to realize just how great and joyful is our position. We should feel pride and gratitude to be in such a position. If you share this with the world you can instantly create a revival of such a strong magnitude.

It depends whether or not you decide to keep your mouth closed or open it and share this content. You have to open your mouths and share this truth in order to help your brothers and sisters to resurrect. Can you do this? (Yes, Father.)

Those of us who feel that we can do this let us raise both of our hands.

God bless you. (Applause.)"SMM

Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 

All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. 

Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.  But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions -  it is by grace you have been saved...through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. 

For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.


Ephesians 2:2-5, 8-10


Establishment of Clear Goals While Young


You should know in which direction you are going in your life. One who does not know what they want to do in their life is like a ship on a voyage, yet does not have its latitude and longitude mapped.

How can one who does not have a blueprint for their life lead it successfully?  When we are in our 20s, this is the best time to invest our energy and heart into establishing precise goals for the future.  Those who have a clear purpose in their youth can possibly become a historical figure or they can leave behind something memorable for the world.

Once you have decided to do something, you have to have the courage to fight to accomplish your goal, no matter what kind of difficulties lie ahead. You should have the courage to digest all obstacles rather than merely to dislike them.

Everything in this world is in competition. You must go the road in which you avoid personal mistakes that lead to your downfall, and don't lose a year or even a month. There is even competition in working out which way to go. If you lose one year, you will not be able to keep up.

Once your goals have been set, you have to make a strong determination and build courage to fight to accomplish your goal no matter what obstacles or setbacks lie ahead.

A person who just accepts his environment and situation will pass away in history.

We must set a goal in our youth how we are to spend the year and follow through to fulfill it.

Imagine you slept for a year and other families had babies and their lives went forward during that time.  They will be one step ahead and it would be hard for you to keep up.  Just the same as an arrow that is shot with the same power.

If one is released before the other, it will reach the target faster.  In order to catch up, one needs to possess many times more driving force in order to regain the ground.  But there aren't such people with that much drive.

Therefore, it is very important to know how to spend one year during your youth. You must set a certain goal and follow through to fulfill it. It is like the dial and compass. 

Before each voyage, navigators must decide which course and direction the ship will set course precisely measuring the settings with a compass.  The propeller must turn once the engine starts; if it turns back on the way, it becomes so much harder.

Once you choose a direction, you should go forward investing your whole energy and heart centering on that direction.  Even if you are at your most tired that you can't hear or even open your eyes, you still must invest your best.

From now on, you should make a clear determination, and uniting mind and body, invest everything 24 hours a day, even during your sleep. 

When you open your eyes when you first wake, you study everything that is related to your goal and make a comparison.  You make your own world in this way dedicating your whole heart and will.  Wherever you go, you should go with a rope that is bound to such a world.  Then you become someone who leaves a mark on the world.

2) Decide Your Direction According to Your Original Mind


The most important time is from age 18 to 24. By the age of 24, you have to have established your life goals. You can know the direction of your life if you cultivate and dedicate yourselves.

The most important time to establish these goals is from 18 to 24, with your life goals established at 24.  When you cultivate and dedicate yourself, you can know the direction your life should go.  However, those whose lives and every action is only centered on their own thinking and not led by God they cannot know a clear direction or path to lead.

Even rats on a ship know when the ship is going to wreck during rough seas.



But people do not know such things. Those who lead a life of faith centered and devoted to pleasing God will have a clearer goal of where they are headed.  You must know where you are going.

"You should know the way to go. Even the ant knows that the rainy season will set in. Have you ever seen ants moving from one place to another in a line? Because you are given to useless daydreaming, you do not know. Not knowing one's own problems is a serious matter. You have to seriously consult with heaven about the problems in your life. You must adapt to your environmental situation. This is your own responsibility.

You have to confer with your deep original mind after discussing with heaven in deciding your special field in life. You yourself know well what kind of talent you have. Then, you have to listen carefully to where your mind tries to pull you.

You have to listen to that. Nobody can pull a ship unless the direction has been decided upon. Therefore, even though someone may pull on you then release you, you have to have your own direction to find for yourself.

Most of you have said that you are going to study business. From my viewpoint, people who are majoring in business are like thieves. You have to find your own way to go. Is it enough just to have money?

No.

There are times when you need money, and there are times when you have to go your own way or a different way as a person. You must therefore decide by yourselves the way to go. Without asking your parents you should decide by yourself, harmonizing, with God's guidance, the essence of your original self deep within your heart towards your future purpose.

You have to decide what kind of person you will be in the future around the age of 18 to 20 years. You must know about this yourself through your prayer and meditation. You may feel you need to enter Seoul National University, but I don't know if that is a good thing or not.

Nobody knows his fate. If you die after receiving your Ph.D., all your efforts over ten years will have been in vain.

Everybody has his inherent talent. Human beings have various unique characteristics. Therefore, people go in different directions within the 360-degree spectrum.

However, if all of you were trying to go the same direction, say, 90 degrees or 60 degrees, it would be a serious problem.

When I studied, my major was electrical engineering. Although I studied science, I knew the way I would go in the future. The reason I studied electrical engineering was because I needed the mathematical ability to accomplish a great task in the future.

In some sense, since electrical engineering deals with invisible things, it is connected to religion. For example, if you look at the world of phenomena, you can know that there is always an electrical aspect to every movement. This means that every action of the universe has something to do with the reciprocity between subject and object.

Then, how is it that a magnet can counter the gravitational pull of the earth? What kind of action does that make possible? The magnet bypasses the earth's gravity with a lesser power. Do you understand what this means?

Therefore, our conscience is the same. Once you are born in this world, the background to your birth is already precisely known. However, you should make the decision about your path by yourself according to your conscience. If you cannot sense or determine this matter, you will not be able to accomplish something great in the future." Dr. Reverend Sun Myung Moon

3) Adjusting to the Direction of the Original Mind

If those of you become those who can fit the substance and essence of the teachings of the Completed Testament age or Divine Principle, everything will go well for you in the future.

Even those who are in their twenties and attending prestigious colleges, in reality they do not have knowledge.  In the olden days of Korea, those who would search the mountains for wild ginseng possessed some sort of spiritual ability or sixth sense.  Through this spiritual "antennae" they were able to find the wild ginseng.


Such things are possible.  Why is it necessary to have this awareness?  With such abilities, we can escape being victimized and we instead gain in a way.  Therefore, it is not a waste of time to seek such a way.

Being born on a strong foundation of your parents' faith, youth should decide by the age of ten or twenty which direction they want to go in life.  When one has such a resolve for their life at a young age, even though you may go in a different direction than you planned, your body will turn towards the proper way.

Everything will be guided.

"For example, although you are sleeping facing the east and thinking to go east the next morning, if it is wrong to go east your body will turn toward the south. Your body itself knows that. It is very sensitive." 

If you do not reach such a spiritual level, you cannot be a great leader in the future.

 We are near the  time when your spiritual level will be evaluated automatically.  Ten people in a village, three people will have spiritual power. They will all know what the others are thinking. Right now is the time to set the right attitude and devote yourself.

If you were born on a foundation of parents that devoted themselves to God's mission and you devote yourself as well, you will be able to clearly make plans for the future through your own deep mediation and prayer at the same level.  This is the normal position. If this cannot be accomplished, nothing will be successful.


If you adjust the direction of your original mind, little by little, your life will enter a narrow valley.  If you go in the northern direction when you are supposed to go in the eastern direction, it will not work.

If you follow the way of the original mind, the universe will show one way to you. That is faster and more powerful than a bullet. 

This is a sense we all should have. When we reach this level, you can speak with your own mind.  As soon as you think about what to do, the answer will come to you immediately.  The examinations questions, the page number to study will just come to your mind and out your mouth.  You can advance to this stage of spiritually.

Don't people at such a stage know the way to go? Because they have clarified their way, all the power of the universe comes to help. When you enter the examination hall, your writing hand and all things will cooperate with you. If this is so, you will be able to achieve something great.

A true person can live based on such a background of power and be supported by infinite power which enables him to go in the direction he is moving.  When he begins to go in the wrong direction, he will come to know this immediately.

The church which teaches the Completed Testament is not the same as the Old and new Testament.  I has a deep and high foundation a framework of great strength.

Everything can be solved once we reach such a spiritual state with your own effort and work.  First, you as an individual must make a decision in which direction you are headed and where you would like to end up.  You know yourselves the best which way this is.
