Even Evil People Wants to Possess Good

We must always remember that daily life is a continuous struggle. There are many kinds of struggles and therefore we have to determine what kind we are going through at any particular time. Many people struggle daily in order to make a living and receive a salary.

We all face all kinds of continuous struggle in our daily life.  There are many different kinds of struggles, therefore, we must determine what kind we are going through at any particular time.

Some people struggle to earn money, but some people are more worthy of receiving their salary than other because they do better work.  Therefore, those who do inferior work can be criticized.

Then there are those people who work just for themselves and do not receive a salary.  In this case, the quality of their work determines whether they will be a success or not.  According to the work one does, they are also subject to judgment or criticism.

There are some Americans who better the country and are liked and respected, and there are the citizens that do not contribute to the country in any way.  Within every group, this kind of difference can be found.

There are the people who are looked up to and we want to emulate and then there are the people who are not well respected.  Only the person himself can criticize himself because he knows himself better than anyone else.

Each person knows where his or her weaknesses lies and he knows how he needs to change.  Within an individual, every element knows whether it is being used for something good or something bad.  Your own eyes know if you are looking at good things or bad things.

Also, your ears can distinguish between good things and bad.

You may feel inspired when you hear these words because you recognize them as true.  Someone else might think that this is too general and is not inspired.

Would you want to be on the good side, exhibiting only good qualities or would you be content to remain on the bad side of everything?

Everyone, naturally, would want to experience the good qualities.

At the national level, some nations are criticized by the other nations because they damage the rest of the world.  Each nation can judge and criticize other nations.  We see that God must be evaluating the nations of the world according to how they are performing for the total benefit of the world.

God certainly desires goodness. 

If there is also an evil god in existence, he would also want something good.

We may think that an evil god would want evil things, but an evil being desires good things.  If the evil god was not able to get good things, he would go and plunder good things from others.

The good God just wants to stay with goodness.  He wants to have good things all the time and wants to cherish them eternally.  But the evil god would try to snatch the good things away from God the first chance he gets.

Isn't this true?  This is how the fall began with Lucifer wanting to possess the good Eve for himself taking her and humanity away from God.

In all levels of life there is struggle between good and evil. 

Do you think that you are a good person or a bad one?

Truthfully, you said you are only good in a half-hearted way, you must not have much confidence.  You are right to answer in that way, because if you completely good, you would not have to struggle or restore yourself back to your original position.

If you are already a completely good person, there would be no struggle with evil.

Where there is something good, both bad and good people want it.  What do you think is the best thing in the world?

You might say 'true love', but even before true love exists a person must exist first.  If many good people exist, then there would not be so much struggle in the pursuit of true love.  It would be found freely flowing everywhere.

The main question is, did human history start from an evil or good foundation?

Is it possible that man was good in nature but gradually became evil after he was born or it was the other way around?  Were we created to be evil and then to gradually struggle to be good?  Would a perfected, good god create such a contradictory being?

This does not make sense.  If people were born to be evil, then we could never have the possibility to to improve ourselves or root it out because it would be forever part of our being.

Is there a possibility that you can become completely good, almost perfected?  Then we can say confidently that we were not born in a hopelessly bad condition.  We know for a fact we were born relatively good, but not perfected.

Even though one is born with a good nature, if he is surrounded by a bad situation, he will struggle hard to come back to his good state.  This is logical.

Therefore, we can conclude that man's original nature was created good, but something happened after he was born.  The Principle explains that human beings were created for goodness, but were corrupted and fell into a bad situation.

What is the element that influenced humans to become evil and have to struggle to go toward goodness?  Many would say 'self-centeredness'.

What is that exactly?  It is placing yourself ahead of God and everybody else.

When this first occurred, people began the path of false self-centered love.  We can surely see that self-centeredness and false love put human beings on the wrong path in history.

When mankind fell, it was as if he received injections: one was self-centeredness and the other was false love.

These evil elements began to circulate in the human body.  Have you been able to cleanse from this fallen blood?  No.  In fact, evil renews itself with each new individual.

If you were to get food poisoning, you then a need an antidote.  Therefore, because we were poisoned by self-centeredness and false love, we need an antidote to cure it.

What do you think that would be?  We easily say 'true love'.  But where do you find it?

Let's examine ourselves.

Have you been able to cleanse this evil blood from your system or is it still circulating within you?

You know it is still there and you can feel it easily.  Where are you going to eliminate this poison?  Do you just do nothing and think that it will go away automatically through time?

This is what many people of faith believe to be true.  The belief is that by simply believing in the Messiah and sitting in pews and being nice to people that their fallen blood is somehow cleansed.

Jesus died for our sins, but how do we explain that we are still born into sin and no matter how devout we are, we still bear children with the fallen blood lineage?

There are different stages of awareness.  There are some people who don't even know they are doing evil.  There are others who know when they are doing bad things and want to become good and struggle to do so.

Those who want to become very, very good must go through tremendous struggles.

To whom does love rightfully belong?

Love itself is a common possession.  True love is owned by everyone at the same time, but there should be a master or subject of love.  Who would that be?

God is the master of love.

To fulfill the purpose of love, there must be a man and woman who practice and appreciates true love.

The first two people who come into contact with love for the first time would think that they would like to have that.  There is nothing bad about that.  This is very natural.

People were born to appreciate good things.

What then is the difference between a good person and a bad person?

Both good people and bad want good things.

Everyone was meant to experience love at the proper time.  We see that love belongs to everybody.  But there is a proper order to achieving everything.  First things come first, second things come second and so forth.

The order of love was God was to receive it first, then man and woman were to have it, then it was to pass love to the angels.  This is the correct order for true love.  Any other order is false love.

Thus it is the orderliness, the right order, that made the difference in love.

When man did not abide by the right order, false love came into being and then the distinction between true love and false love came into existence.

Let's look at a family of brothers and sisters for an example.  Each are born in a certain order, one after the other.  There is the first child, a second child, a third and so forth.  Even if there is only a difference of a year in their ages there still is an order.

If it became necessary, the first-born child could take responsibility for the second-born.  The second could do the same for the third and so forth.

Suppose the elder brother said to the younger one, "Do this," and he replies, "OK, but I must do something else first." That would be the proper way for him to reply, rather than to shout, "No, I Won't do it," without giving any ounce of obedience or explanation.

Violating the rules of conduct in regard to order is wrong. 

In America, this concept is strange.  They may wonder why the elder brother has more authority than the younger one.

But when you observe more closely, even in America, it is natural to give difference to an elder.  Let's suppose there are five brothers lined up in order of age.  The eldest is first, the next one is second and so forth.

In America, would they line up at random?

What about the parents; would the parents go in line in front of the children?  No.  The parents would go first and then the children.  So, even in America, that would seem logical.

When the parents give direction to the children, they are expected to obey.

Unlike what we see in American homes today, the child shouldn't say that they don't have to listen to their parents.

This is not acceptable.

Even if the parents were to give a wrong direction, the child should say, "But if I do it now, it would create a bad situation.  Could you please reconsider?"

Then a good mother or father would think about it and answer, "I guess you are right, so you don't have to do that."  Through this mutual respect and understanding, the parent and child can come to resolve any differences properly.

In any situation, parents should not stubbornly cling to their 'authority' and demand the child do what they have to say.  If a parent did that, then any child would rightly be forced to rebel against the parent's unreasonableness.  Then the parent would have to yield to the children if the children are in the right.

When parents ask their son to do something That he is sure will turn out badly, then he should not be demanded to blindly follow their instructions.  He should explain his thoughts to his mother or father  so that the correct course of action will bring forth good results.

You may wonder how this relates to human history and mankind's problems and think this may seem too simple of analysis of the problems experienced between children and parents.

This actually describes the basic element of human history from the beginning point of mankind's problems and the solution.

You Are God's Miracle

I look at you, your faces are so beautiful. Many times when I look at the beauty of men and women I wonder whether there was any way that Heavenly Father could have created us better than we are.
What would make a man more handsome or a woman more beautiful?

I have imagined making the two eyes totally round, the nose square, the ears upside down, and wondered whether that would make a person more beautiful. But every time I come to the conclusion that no one can improve upon the way God made men and women.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon



Truly each one of you is a masterpiece of God's creation.

Some men and women look in the mirror and wonder why they couldn't have been more pretty or created handsome.  But we shouldn't look that way.  You are God's masterpiece.  We should know that God worked very hard to make you just the way you are.

Even if everyone has condemned a certain person as ugly, there is surely an special characteristic that nobody else has.

When you think about it, God only has four basic objects for which to work.  He has the eyes, nose, mouth and ears.  On top of that, He has to place them in the same area, so there is a limited realm, yet God created an infinite variety of faces!

With only a limited number of items, God created billions of human faces, but no two of them are identical.  Each of our faces are unique.

There is an incredible mysterious beauty among the four billion people out there. 

Even though each face has the same four components, each is different.

Is there any better miracle than the God's construction of the human anatomy?

What if someone gave you the task to take the eyes, nose, mouth and ears and come up with a combination for four different billion faces?  Would you be able to do it?

Just thinking of the four billions faces leaves a feeling of awe.  The mystery of the face is so great.

Each face is different, although it has the same four components.

There is no way to avoid feeling gratitude and awe, surprise and shock at this fact. I always feel that it is our duty to live with confidence and pride in being a masterpiece of God's creation.

What if the world was only filled with women lacking even one male.

It would be a 'no-man's land'.  No matter how beautiful or how well-dressed a woman might be in that land, without men around, she has no flavor or joy in her living.

There is an guarantee that if there were no men around, no matter how much you were pressured, you wouldn't put on make up because there would be no incentive.

There is a popular saying that women dress nicely and put on make up for other women.  But if women is all that existed, there would be no need.

There would be a great disaster if the world was filled with only women and no man.

Or even worse, there were a billion women and only one man.  The women would definitely start a war over him.  There would be nothing, but constant struggle, battles, and conspiracies all focused upon the one goal to occupy the heart of this one man.

Women naturally do not like war, but if there was only one man, would the women just sit still or start a war over who is best suited for him?  On the other hand, if it was all men in the world and just one women the same situation would happen.

It is our good fortune that God distributed men and women evenly throughout the world.

There is a misinformed belief that there is a shortage of men, but as there are constantly men dying and being born all over the world, the numbers do even out.  There are enough men for the women and enough women for the men on the earth as a whole.

What if one entire country was populated only by men and another only by women?

Through Eastern philosophy, which is male-centered, the Asian culture looks forward to have a baby boy.

Even in China with the restrictions on how many children one can have per household, baby girls are either discarded or given to other countries for adoption.  What if God was to answer everyone's prayers and give them nothing but sons?

Even in America, the women would want a son first and also American men want sons.  But what if God answered all those prayers around the world?  What would happen?

A wise man knows that this is a useless prayer.  Women give birth, but God controls the balance.  Around the world , the population of men and women is about the same.  This is a great phenomenon.

It is the greatest of all miracles that we are alive today. 

Life is mysterious and the mysterious element is beyond man's control; somebody else must be controlling it.

Those who possess high goals and high ideals look for some mystic or mysterious element.

People look for and want miracles to happen.  But the greatest miracle of all is the seven billion people who are living on the earth.  When you look at a person, look at him individually as a source of wonder.  You are an eyewitness to God's creation, a miracle.

Everyone of you are born with a broadcasting station which is your brain.

You are emitting waves at all times.  But these color of waves vary from one person to another.  The harmony comes from the variety of different waves coming from each of us.  They don't repel each other, but rather create a universal harmony with one another.

The colors of our vibrations are not narrow.  They go around the whole world and try to embrace all the other colors of vibrations around the world and everything God created.  This vibration will visit the Orient, a white and go after a black person and embrace them as well.

But throughout history, man has blocked and chopped off this harmonious vibration.  This separation has been the greatest of all human crimes.

You emit waves all the time, but the colors of waves vary from one person to another. The variety of these waves makes for harmony; they don't repel each other but rather create a universal harmony.

Religious people accuse each other of being heretics and much more. Nationalism is another example. There is a Japanese way of life, a German way of life and a Korean way of life without flexibility.

People are boxing themselves in, blocking themselves off from infinite possibility.

Is this the kind of history that God wanted to witness?

He wants to see a history where there are endless amounts of possibilities in which each vibration goes out and encircles the world and embraces everybody.  This is the way God created His history, but man blocked this beautiful history.

We must search and discover a kind of people that lives in true freedom and true vibrations.

Where in the world today can we find people whose vibrations are not just in the physical world, but also int he spiritual world?  What teachings could fathom how to break down these man-made barriers?

True Father gives his speeches to a room full of Westerners, and Easterners shining out in all different colors and vibrations.  This man from the Orient gives out his vibrations which encompasses the Western world, the Western mind and the Western people.

What organization outside of religion has a history such as this phenomenon?  Even in the field of religion this has not occurred very often.


Everybody has heard about major newspapers collapsing, for example the Washington Star and the Philadelphia Bulletin. Every day we hear that the Daily News, the greatest tabloid paper in New York City, is dying. Then people hear that Reverend Moon is trying to create a new newspaper in the face of all these newspaper failures.


The companies that collapsed focused strictly with a business-minded enterprise with concerns about the destiny of the company and the fortunes of the members that helped build it.  These companies with this self-centered ideal have no way to link their purpose to the nation or to the world.

Therefore, with this as a foundation, no matter how big the company becomes they can only grow within the realm of the individual enterprise and only have company success.  Their business philosophy is that when their enterprise or fortunes are damaged they will soon fold.

An universal mind has a far different starting point for a business.


We are not beginning a new newspaper for any person's or any organization's glory. We are doing this for the purpose of God, the purpose of the nation and the purpose of the world. Therefore, hard work and sacrifice can be made in order to achieve the higher goal.



Today the Western world has their focus based on materialism such as Communist nations.

That world has now hit a stone wall.  Western civilization has filed for bankruptcy.  In order to stop this, a new philosophy and civilization must begin and carry on.  We are standing at that crossroad in Western history.

People are facing all kinds of bankruptcy, even moral bankruptcy, business bankruptcy, and family bankruptcy.   But the Unification Church has a new goal and a new motivation.

The movement knows that the world needs help and must turn around and reverse its direction.

We are moving forward no matter the difficulties or obstacles that try to stop us.  We bring salvation to the rest of the world.  This is our standard.

We impart one vibration to encompass this nation and other nations around the world in order to bring about a positive change and head toward a world God envisioned from the beginning of creation.
We must be proud and confident of our position in relation to restoration and our standard.
