SPEAKS ON
THE DISPENSATIONAL ERA
OF THE UNIFICATION
OF THE FIRST, SECOND
AND THIRD GENERATIONS

Translator - Col. Sang Kil Han
Father's topic this morning is The Dispensational Era of the Unification
of the First, Second and Third Generations. In dispensational human
history who falls in the category of the first generation? What generation is
God? The original, the zero generation? Zero cannot be a start. So we can
see that centering on God, the first generation exists. Who is the second
generation? Unfallen Adam and Eve become the second generation. Then who
is the third generation? [Their children.] Adam and Eve's children. Can the
second generation be different from the first generation? No, the vertical
relationship with God makes them the same.
[Father draws on the board.] As we have already learned, everything that
exists wants to form a sphere and become round. Centering on these dividing
lines, there is an upper hemisphere, a lower hemisphere, a right and a left
hemisphere and a front and a rear hemisphere. Each one can readily be divided
into two, for example the upper hemisphere can be divided into two to make
a quarter sphere. So the circle can easily be divided into twelve equal
parts. Twelve objective purposes can be derived from this. That twelve can
still be divided by two, so altogether twenty four can be formed. The number
twenty four can be obtained by multiplying three times eight, four times
six or twelve times two. As you know, in the Oriental world we follow the
lunar calendar. The lunar calendar is divided into twenty four distinctly
individual seasons. Likewise the spirit world is also divided into twenty
four, centering on twelve disciples.
This number of twenty four can be derived that way. How can the individual
pieces of twenty four be unified? Centered on what can they be unified? That
is the question. Knowledge? Can you unify them because you develop your
brain? Are there any sons and daughters who do not recognize their parents? Or
any parents who do not recognize their own children? Can children deny their
parents? Or can parents deny their children? In American culture today,
parents take children seriously and worry about them constantly, but children
never worry about their parents. They never give any concern. What do you
make of that? What is the meaning? It is the result of the fallen world. In
other words, the children and their generation are dragged in unknown
directions by somebody making the root fuzzy and ambiguous. They are taught,
"Forget about the root, don't worry about that." The children are
then led in the wrong direction. The result is that they want to go to a
certain objective but without the root. This is unthinkable intellectually,
but that is what is happening. They are about to arrive somewhere without a
root. But if the world had not fallen, what would have been manifested today?
Children would be concerned about their parents even more than parents are
concerned about their children.
Why is this happening? It is because Satan took the parents' position.
In the Western world parents are following in the wake of their children. Where
the children are going, the parents are following behind. Whereas in the
Orient it is the parents who go forward and the children always try to
follow. Since there is no center their sense of proper relationship does
not exist. Man and woman exist on each side, but they do not keep the
proper horizontal level. Man and woman do not stand around the center as
they should. There is no center and no horizontal line because there is no
vertical line. Originally they were designed to revolve around the center,
but when they are off balance like this, the more they revolve the more
confused they become because of the lack of the vertical and horizontal
line. They don't know exactly where they should stand. The terminal point
becomes very complicated. This is what we are experiencing today.
America belongs to the Christian culture. What is the root of America?
You might answer freedom or democracy. Do you think that freedom should be
the tradition of America? Does freedom guarantee love and is love an essential
part of freedom? No, in the freedom we know, it does not. At best the center
of freedom refers only to the individual. Whatever he wants to do he can do.
That is the way most think about freedom. What about the environment? That
individual just influences the environment as he wills. If he is the center
then he definitely needs a good object. So if he is an absolute center then
his object should also be an absolute object. He does not have that. So we see
historically that humankind started from a God centered concept, then a human
centered concept and now it went even lower to a material centered concept. We
have already lost the dignity and actual meaning of human existence. So the
concept of man and woman is not there. People are holding onto material but
don't know where this material centered life is leading to. The concern for
the character within a human being is not even there anymore. Character is
not there. Is the character of a human being above material or below material
now? It looks as if people are even below material. Is that true? Going after
freedom constantly people have lost sight of God and humankind. People have
descended to live like animals. They eat, they seek physical gratification
and don't think about spiritual things. After they become like an animal,
character and God do not exist there anymore. This is a result of freedom. This
is what the freedom of the Western world has brought.
Hippies and Yippies and homosexuals and lesbians have come to a point
of men denying women and women denying men. This is the straightforward
destruction of the relations among human beings. All they have is animalistic
behavior or satanic behavior. They can't take part in anything loftier
than that. Things that a basic human being would never even think about,
those things they do without guilt. Then they think, "We are the great
nation. No other country enjoys freedom more than America. We are a free
people with democracy." That democracy that Americans are fostering,
is that democracy in the ideal sense? No, this is a form of democracy
that only Americans follow, centering on white people. White people and
black people have a considerable difference. The word democracy is directly
translated into an Oriental language as "people centered ideal."
That is what democracy is. When we center on people, what idea can come about?
Only something equal to or less than humankind. Certainly not God or anything
higher than human beings.
[Referring back to board.] So, these twenty four divisions, can anyone
unify these by means of freedom? Can democracy unify them or can we use
a democratic idea to unify them? No, because under democracy these twenty
four distinct positions will be thought of as equal. Here, the direction or
position is very clear, like up and down, or right and left, front and rear
centering on one point. When we say front, it goes without saying that rear
is also there. That's a pair which you can never separate, like two sides
of a coin. Like left leg and right leg and left foot and right foot. That
is the four position foundation idea. Having this center we have to keep
the balance or the unit will topple. If that happens then the center
goes directly to hell. Hell is where we find the center that has lost its
position. Heaven is where the individual occupies the center. When we say
man, what does that mean? When we say man, we already have woman in mind.
The concept is there. When we say woman, we already have man in mind. The same
is true with left and right. So of course this is a philosophical question
as to the concept and reality, but without this concept the reality cannot
come. Concept is always first.
When we say man, what else do we have in mind automatically? God, yes,
that is the way it should be. Where does man come from, who is his parent,
who is the origin and cause of the concept of man? Communist thinking says
man and material are first. What about evolution? There are male and female
beings. Did one evolve from the other? We find plus and minus everywhere,
is it the result of evolution? Flowers have a male part and female part. Is
there any flower that blooms just from one side? Even the insect world is
distinctly divided into a male part and a female part. Could there be any
evolutionary process that when carried out a male could become a female or
a female become a male? Never! Can a woman become a man? The big saying is
that a monkey finally evolved into a man, so how about male and female? From
amoeba to a high and complicated being like man, male and female exist on
every different level. Could an amoeba become one without the action of male
and female? That means that an amoeba could mate with a flower, and a flower
could mate with insects? Can they do that? It is definitely the devil that
brought this concept. Satan is trying to confuse man.
The most fundamental duty is to keep the dignity of male elements and
female elements within animals, plants and even in the mineral kingdom.
All of these have to keep their position. No matter how much a strong woman
here may exert herself or claim herself, can she ever become a man? Women must
always have breasts. That's the way they are and they cannot change it. Do
you know why women are shorter than men? It's because some women have thin
chests and hips. If her height was tall she could easily be mistaken for
a man! It's because of women's breasts and hips that their height became
short. That is a very practical explanation for why women are generally
shorter than men! Are a woman's bosom and hips just for herself? Then women
might really worry about what she has to do with them. But you don't have to
worry, women have a path that women should go. Women always notice as they
are growing up that their breasts are becoming bigger and bigger. That is a
main target of her concern. She becomes concerned thinking, "How much
bigger are they going to be?" They are always concerned about that.
It is your privilege and dignity to be born as women. And it is your
privilege and dignity to be born as men. We have to preserve that. We should
not mix that up. What kind of women can claim, "Yes, I am born for my
own sake. Women are born for women's sake absolutely." Those who think
that raise your hands. How about American women? That is the surest way to
doom humankind to destruction. That means dignity is gone and their value has
become lower than that of animals. They are less worthy than an animal, even
lower than the mineral kingdom where the plus ions and minus ions distinctly
keep their position. Men and women have to make sure to preserve their dignity.
People always ask the question, "Why was I born as a man?"
or "Why was I born as a woman?" Those who are proud to be born as
women, raise their hands. [Hands go up very slowly.] After you get all the
answers from Father you make the right answer but before you are not sure. For
women, no doubt, there was a lot of conflict and thinking going on, "Why
was I not born as a stronger being? Why was I not born as a man?" Women
always struggle with this. Women are built in such a way that they are small
so they can fit into something, not fit everything into her. She can't wrap
around everything, but rather she can't be wrapped around by something else.
Sometimes in an extreme case a woman is standing like a needle with hardly
any space and nothing can go on top of her. She won't let it. She says,
"Don't touch me, don't come near me." That is a needle-like woman.
Is there any man here who thinks, "I wish I could have been born as
a woman"? [No!] Here the men are satisfied, but here the women are not
satisfied. It's slanted, how can we keep a right balance? If you go around
focused on a center then a balance can be obtained. Who should be the center,
man or woman, in order to go around? American women, what do you think? Who
should be the center? If you have two pieces or parts and one is heavier
and set in place and the other is not, which should be the center? A heavier
and stable man or lighter and unstable woman? This is not what Reverend Moon
muses about some mornings. No, this is the way nature is. When they go around
as they should, then everything is balanced. There is no man and no woman.
There is no difference when the two have become one. If you go to a dancing
party which is more exciting, the fastest step or the step of a grandma who is
just about to die? In the beginning, maybe you start out slow, but as you go
on. . . If you turn around like in dancing, do you think you can turn around
without the center? Without a center the two will tumble down. What is the
conclusion? Should a man cling to a woman and live or should a woman cling
to a man and live? I don't know, but you American women know well. Without
question the woman should hold onto a man and continue to live. But what about
in America, has this been true? Or do men hang on to women and exercise caution
and live? That can do a lot of damage to mankind and eventually the world.
Throughout human culture, which country has the highest rate of
divorce? America or African countries? [America.] Yes, America. As a result
of who's actions, who is responsible for divorce? Man or woman? There are
a lot of statistics coming out. Women are at fault seventy percent of the
time. [Father draws M over W on the board.] Who is in the upper position? W
is deeper and M is higher. M has the protruding part. W has the receiving
part. When this [M over W] becomes upside down and stays that way, it is a
catastrophe. It's a bad thing. Right here in the center is a zero point, it
is level. So long as it is going around fast it is okay, whoever is on top
or bottom doesn't matter. But if you do not move and what should be below
stays up and stays there, then that is bad. It's an absolutely necessary
position to have this right side up when it is standing still. Those who deny
this, who disapprove of this and wonder why Father brings it up, raise your
hands. When you walk down the street, the man should walk down the center of
the road and the woman should stay on either side of that center. That is
more normal in walking. Will women welcome that too? That is the optimum
position for a man to protect a woman. The man has to stand in the center
and when need be he can reach the woman and protect her this way. If the
man stands on the side and the woman stands in the center and the man has
to protect her on this side, he would have to move all the way down to this
way. Everything about the truth stands to reason. It stands to reason that
the man should walk down the center more than stand on the sides.
Every morning Mother asks Father, "How long are you going to
speak. Father I need to go to a horseback competition." Naturally,
no matter how difficult or complicated a subject Father may bring up in
the sermon, believe Father, he can finish in three minutes. Already Father
has in essence spoken about everything he needs to mention about the first,
second and third generation. He doesn't need to linger. But if he wants to
or if Father is enthused he can even speak for years about this subject. Not
hours, but years. Some highly acclaimed scholar could maybe spend one hour
and he would have a difficult time to continue, but Father could go on for
a year with no problem. This has always been so, with any subject. Father
has to speak in such a way that he can accommodate every nationality's
thought so Germans, Koreans, French, English can all make sense of it.
Father can put things in such a way that everyone can understand it. So when
Father comes to start speaking he is drawn to this subject or drawn to that
area and can continue on to make each one understand. One day Father gave
a sermon for sixteen hours and thirty minutes. It was about ten or fifteen
years ago. One, two, three hours is nothing. Father had enough to talk about
for sixteen hours and more. That day Father did not go to the bathroom. How
is that possible? Through perspiration the moisture just goes out. So Father
doesn't need to go to the bathroom for sixteen hours because his body adjusts
and controls itself.
The second generation should be better than the first generation, yes
or no? [Yes.] Father never missed a sermon in his entire life. No matter
where he went he traveled to a church center and delivered a sermon. Father
also ordered every leader to do that, but does every leader give sermons
without fail? What if he does not have an environment where people gather
together? Then Father speaks to the spirit world. All by himself he shouts out
God's name and gives a sermon to spirit world. What is your guess, even though
you don't see the spirit world, when Father is about to give them a sermon,
do you think spirit men gather around Father or not? [Yes.] There are lots
of people, even some so funny looking that others wonder what they are doing
at Father's sermon, but they all want to come. It's like an avalanche. If we
stampeded like that a lot of people would be hurt, but in spirit world that
doesn't happen. Literally millions of spirit people swarm around Father to
listen but nobody gets hurt because they don't have bodies. What about the
American church? Do American men and women want to make a stampede to come
and listen to Father? Someone reported to Father last week that "today
everybody goes fundraising so there will be a very small number of people at
Belvedere. So why don't you make an exception this Sunday and let everyone
go to fundraising?" What about the spirit world? Do they ask for an
exemption from the sermon schedule? In the spirit world do we need to do
fundraising too? Yes or no? In the spirit world do you think there is a food
factory? How about automobiles or clothing manufacturers? What do they do
then, they have a million years, not just a few years! What do they do to pass
time? There are no airplanes and if you are to dance for all eternity even
that would be tiring. How could you do nothing but dance all the time? Your
legs would become huge and how unstylish you would be. Think about it, what
is the main topic or main theme in the spirit world? It is harmonizing,
balancing, unifying. Centering on what? Can you think, "Because I am
beautiful like an actress everyone should pay attention to me and harmonize
with my beauty"? In the spirit world everyone has the ability to see a
real view of each individual. Here we only see the front side, and if your
front side is beautiful people call you beautiful, but in the spirit world
you can be seen with an added dimension. If you are not beautiful in the
front, maybe you are very beautiful from the rear. In the spirit world they
look at you and say, "You are very beautiful but elsewhere you are very
empty. You don't have any heart or anything." Another woman may not be
so beautiful, but she has a warm heart and a round-about beauty. There is
such a thing as symmetrical beauty. If you change your angle to view her,
you will find the most beautiful view of her. If you boast of facial beauty,
it's not so all around. It is flat, you cannot make any more beauty out of
it. That's the end of it. But if you're beautiful in heart. . . Once you
become flat in the spirit world all you can do is go down, which means go
behind. You can never advance. Since everyone is moving the same direction
in the spirit world, if somebody kicks you, they kick you ahead, they don't
kick you back. This is how the spirit world is. The one who has the round
personality never gets mad or aggravated no matter what you do to him. He has
a round personality and doesn't pay so much attention. What about American
women? So you want a flat personality or a deep and round personality? [Deep
and round.] Father is saying "Yes, that's what you always say."
So who is the first generation? [God.] Who is the second generation?
[Adam and Eve.] Third generation? [Their children.] Does God have grandsons
and granddaughters? [Yes.] Who are they? After the world fell, who could
be God's children? Fallen man became Satan's children. There was no third
generation. [Father draws on the board three levels of grandparents, parents
and children.] So this third position is not married yet, they are boy and
girl children. When they get married then the vertical line extends to their
level. Then the horizontal line is connected between the husband and wife. All
existence is comprised of male and female elements like so. Even this dot in
the center is divided into plus and minus. That point is where the vertical
line passes through. When we look at all existence in the universe, from
where do all things come? They come from dirt, they come from earth, don't
they? Finer particles of rocks or pebbles become dirt. Isn't that true? That
center, even including man, let alone minerals and plants, from that very
origin extends one vertical line. That center comes from God. The origin starts
here and it develops like this. After that exactly the same thing happens in
the other direction. When that happens centering on God, that is the spirit
world. Whatever we have here, we also have in the spirit world. The center
of all these and the vertical line absolutely never change. That vertical
line is the blood lineage. Should blood lineage change or not change?
What can guarantee that unchanging lineage? An unchanging lineage comes from
absolutely unchanging love and unchanging life. Plus life and minus life,
represented by man's life and woman's life. That horizontal love does not
change ever. Living with unchanging love is the realm of indirect dominion
or the realm of principle. Centering on that you then reach the direct
dominion. Centering on that there is up and down, right and left and front
and rear. Those need to be unified, by what? With what can you unify and
maintain unity? We say God's love, but that is too ambiguous. God's love is
the love of parents and the love of children. We certainly can't attain this
with knowledge or power, even spiritual power. We can only do this through
love. What kind of love? True love. We should be able to just simply say,
"love", so why do we say "true love"? It means that we
already know there is false love. To distinguish that we say true love. True
love is original love. True love means absolute love. Absolute means eternal,
unchangeable, unique love. That's it! Every woman, every man wants that kind
of love. It is something we have never seen, but it is what we want.
If someone gives you the absolute right to do anything, would you pick up
one of your best girlfriends and live together forever happily? Or would you
rather get a man, though not necessarily a handsome man and live happily and
beautifully forever and ever? Which one? Another woman or a man? Why? It's
simple. That's the way you are created. The origin is that way. Woman came
into being certainly not for the sake of other women or even for herself,
but for man. Her love and ideal can be found only in a man. There is no way
she can find it in another woman or anywhere else. What she wants is a man who
has all dimensions, up, down, left, right, front and rear. She needs all these
things. By the same token a man needs a woman with all dimensions as well.
What does, "The dispensational era of the unification of the
first, second and third generations" mean? Centering on what can we
unify? Unification is the key word here. Unification by what? Man and
woman will unify, that is the key of all unification. True? When she
becomes one with man in all his six directions, you have accomplished your
goal. The universe has accomplished its goal. That is the recognition of
perfection that each one of us must perfect centered on love. That is what
is happening. It's simple enough, isn't it? All throughout the history of
mankind no one has realized this simple thing.
A grandfather and grandmother want to follow where their son is going.
What about children centering on their parents? Do children want to follow
their parents too? Yes, they would. And if there are brothers and sisters,
would they want to follow each other too? That perfect model is a family. In
the family everything good that Father has described can be found. In that
household, you are born as the youngest daughter. You assert yourself
saying, "I am representative of my elder sisters." Also you
think you represent your own mother. All you have to think is that you are
the one who represents your grandmother. Then wherever you go you are all
set for the journey of finding love. So when this kind of girl goes and
finds her brother and says, "I came in search of your love",
of course he will embrace her. Everyone will embrace her and later on
even God will embrace her. God will come down and hug and kiss her for the
first time. How happy she will be! The same thing is true for man as well.
Each one represents the whole family, so you don't care which particular one,
so long as he represents the whole family, all you have to do is respect
that representation. By loving him, you're loving everybody. All members
of the family don't have to speak at the same time. When the grandmother is
speaking, she is speaking on behalf of the whole family, even a family as big
as Father's with forty members. Grandmother is the representative center
of the whole family. You can recognize her at any time. That means each
one enthusiastically represents his entire family, no matter how big. Even
in our church, if each individual wants to represent the whole family and
always tries to adjust his or her angle to God, it is all we need in love.
Father, representing the entire Unification Church family, comes and
says, "Let's go!" Let's go where? Let's go suffering. Father will
say this to you. But each one of you answers, "Yes" and joyfully
follows in his wake. That is where you can find intertwining love.
No matter how much of a good thing you have, there is a limit to it and
once you go up, you must come down. Let's say you started here [nine o'clock
position on a circle] and you reached up to achieve this goal [twelve o'clock
position] then you have to come down to here [six o'clock position]. When
you get down here and lose power and cannot go up then you die. It doesn't
matter where you might have been before. So you have to continue revolving.
You have to find a way to connect to where you first started. Then it
becomes a permanent and perpetual ideal. How exactly do you get this kind of
training? In the family. Father already told you the family is the training
center where we get training to go to heaven. All we have to do is extend
that family that Father just described to a bigger realm, because after
the family is clan, society, nation, world and spirit world. The nucleus
is always the same. We're just repeating the same pattern. Are there two
centers or one center? What is that center? The original family. That is
the very center where each member of the family wants to dwell. This is
the place you can rest, this is where you can be happiest. This is where
"I" can be recognized. This is where I can do whatever I want to
do and be understood. This is simply the happiest point.
What is the answer to Father's question, should we or shouldn't we love
and respect our grandparents? What about God? Should we love God more than
our grandparents or not? Why? Because God is the root. Grandparents are
the trunk, parents are the big branch and you yourself are a leaf on that
big tree. Each part represents the entire tree. Each cell of these parts, no
matter where you take it from, the branch, root or leaf, still legitimately
represents the whole tree. We all want to become number in the world, don't
we? We want to excel. Have you ever become number one? With this concept to
represent our familyhood, we can go to America and say, "We must listen to
Reverend Moon's teaching before America can live. Otherwise America is doomed
to perish." All we have to do is teach this. We should listen to them
well and teach them well. That is give and take, as necessary as inhaling
and exhaling. [Father demonstrates give and take in the way we walk.] When
a man claims that he is more excellent than you, all you have to do is say,
"Yes, this man who is my subject is excellent. I am ready for that"
and you harmonize with him. That is better than you claiming your excellence
as well. That means you will be pulled up and not down. Everybody wants to
be on the right side, nobody on the left side. Everybody wants to get in
the front, but not the back. In this way, no matter where you search for
your happiness, you cannot find happiness. No matter how unfriendly your
mission country may be, even if they are a dire enemy, we cannot treat them
as an enemy. We still have to treat them with love and even though you may
know they are wrong, still listen to them. Still in prayer, you want them to
become good people. Even if it doesn't work here, but you carry on your effort
here, in heaven it will be a success. Like Father comes into this country
and finds a grandfather and grandmother, no matter how they are, friendly
or enemy-like, Father wants to love them just like his own grandparents in
his own hometown. Who can object to that? Not only grandparents, but if
he finds someone his own parent's age, he wants to treat them like his own
parents and the same with someone his brother and sister's age. Young people
always stand up on the subway and bus to let elders sit down because they
remind them of their own grandparents or parents. The universe from all four
corners will welcome you. No one will be able to resist you. Do you think
what Father has spoken is just overextended imagination or is this reality?
Let's ask a simple question. Do you American men and women, especially
women, like grandmothers and grandfathers in the American family? Father
would like to see the face of a woman who says, "In the future when I
get married, I want to live with and serve my husband's father and mother. I
will serve them like my own father and mother." No American woman likes
that. Depending on how you feel towards them you can predict whether you
will go to heaven or hell in the spirit world. It is obvious. If you do not
serve them will you go to heaven or hell? It will be hell because you cannot
communicate in love. Hell is a place filled with walls, where you cannot
go or advance. With this mind and this practice of life, it doesn't matter
where we go, to east or west, Russia or wherever, you don't have anything
to fear. Heaven is where you serve those people who lived thousands of years
before you just like you would serve your own grandparents. That is heaven. No
matter how many people are in the spirit world in the same age group as your
parents, you treat them as your own parents. No matter how many different
situations you may encounter in your environment, there is still only one
pattern which always works. That is the formula that applies everywhere.
The ideal formula is family. No one will deter God from coming in. In the
center which is the best place, there is one special chair. That is where
you will usher God and ask Him to sit. This is not only a good concept,
it is true in reality.
Heaven begins in the perfected love between man and woman. That's all.
At the place where vertical and horizontal love meet is the place of original
heaven.
Can you separate your mind and body? No it is impossible. Your mind
is the vertical me. Your body is the horizontal me. Your mind represents
your vertical parents and your body represents your horizontal parents.
Through you they can become one. Have you seen your mind? Have you ever seen
God? The body is visible and horizontal.
We see an almost automatic conclusion; now is the day or the era of
unification of the three generations. [Father draws a circle on the board and
divides it into four.] I like ninety degrees. How about American women? When
American men are excited and elated to see ninety degrees maybe we can have
hope. They think, "Father's teaching is good for me, for man."
Family is the microcosm of the huge cosmos. Is spirit world inside a physical
individual or not? Yes. Your mind represents your entire spirit world. Your
physical body is representing the entire physical world. First you must
unite your mind and body to create a true love core. That is the ideal
individual perfection of a man or woman. That is the starting point to reach
completion. So we have the spirit world and the physical world connecting in
me. How can we unite those two? With what? True love. What kind of true love?
Vertical true love and horizontal true love. We need two kinds of love.
The vertical true love which I inherit from God, His love and His lineage
and His life are what we inherit. Also horizontally we inherit the same life,
love and lineage from the physical parents. To become a core you accomplish
this. True love always travels the shortest route. The shortest line is a
vertical line. We know mathematically this is true. The straight line is
shortest and if there is even a slight degree of deviation, it creates a
longer line.
A child starts from here and as they go along they learn that this is
the way that life goes. As they grow they see all the happenings within a
family. Each one learns the things that go with each age. By the time this
child goes around, a girl will find that her purpose is to find a man. At the
onset of puberty she discovers that. It's like a balloon that she has just
inflated. The world is at her command and she wants to embrace everything
and put it into her big bag of love. With that, where does she find that
subject of love? She does not find this in her parents or her teachers, but
she knows that she has to find a man to become ideal. She knows that this is
the point where she has to come after fulfilling in all this other area. This
is the only place where they can practically meet. There is only one point
where a line can intersect another at ninety degrees. These four elements,
man's mind and body and woman's mind and body, will come together following
the short route of true love and that is when a new baby is conceived. When
this kind of unity takes place in these dual aspects of mind and body, a new
baby is created who also has a mind and body. It is the fruit of the unity
of its parents' minds and bodies.
Where do they meet? In concept at least we can describe it as the place
where all men and God want to meet. That is the one point where we should
meet. If there is even one degree of deviation, it is not the right position,
not a perfect right angle. Why does this connote something right, while
this one connotes something wrong? Centering on this ideal, this is always
opposite. It starts from zero. Different languages, the tools of human
communication didn't just happen. They all come from the interaction of
mind and body. The straight vertical line always passes through the sexual
organ because that is the vertical terminal point. That terminal point of
the vertical line is God's own hope. It is here that we have to make sure
we maintain a ninety degree angle. Until now mankind has not known what
mind is or what body is, but now we know my mind is vertical me and my body
is horizontal me. Both mind and body is me, but one is vertical and one is
horizontal centering on true love. You are the center of the universe because
you represent the love of the center of the universe. We should understand,
"I am a being of central love with horizontal and vertical combined into
one. That is me." Do you understand that? When you say "me"
and think about yourself, immediately you represent the entire universe, both
the vertical and horizontal heritage. You want to be the top of everything,
don't you. Each person should feel this. Centering on love I represent the
whole universe, both horizontal and vertical. All things must recognize your
claim and say "Yes." Are your ancestors represented within you
or not? Your forty billion cells are representative. Since they married
horizontally, all the cells of all mankind are represented within you
too. Through unchanging true love we can unify that mind and body. Even in
scientific research we find a unit and use a formula to do that. Man and
woman is the unit to use a formula means to combine into one. This is an
absolute formula. That kind of formula has always existed in the universe. It
is clear. How can you make that classic theory? From there we can make a
foundation. Without a theory we cannot make anything into a perfect reality.
When you know the immense cosmos, do you feel good or only so and so?
[Father makes a big shout.] Isn't this the way you feel? Your yell should
echo. Your echo and original shout shall echo with each other and go around
to form the ideal world of happiness.
Within me, the past is represented as well as the future and the
present. [Father draws two more circles connected to the first but they all
share one point in common.] This circle is the past, this one is the present
and this is the future. In the family, the ancestors are here too. The past
is represented by the grandparents. Those who take the root lightly have no
way to prosper. The roots of all five billion population are from parents
aren't they? They all came from parents that also existed in pairs. The
children represent the future. The family is a model which includes the
past, present and future. The mother in a family represents the mother of
five billion people. Assuming half of the population is woman, that is 2.5
billion representatives. That woman can be the queen of 2.5 women in that
position. The first centers are king and queen. All fathers are represented
by the king. The tribe holds the future's king and queen. How wonderful
the family is! That's true!
So this is the world's number one house, the family of love where they
treat the grandparents like God, their own physical father and mother
are king and queen of the whole five billion population and the children
represent the whole five billion as princes and princesses of the world. This
is the greatest house of love. You literally wish that your own father and
mother would be king and queen don't you? And you wish your grandfather and
grandmother could be equal to God, don't you? There is no place that type
of formula does not work; it will work anywhere. To form a kingship family
is the very purpose of our blessed couples. When you live like this and
you shout out "God, our father", will God answer, "I don't
know you"? No, He will answer, "I have been waiting for you. Come
this way." God will look at you and say, "You are like me."
He will usher us into an embrace. We know that everything mankind wants,
their highest ideal and their highest happiness, begins and ends right
here in the family. We now know. The purpose of our life here is to find a
man and woman. The most valuable thing for woman is man. The greatest and
most valuable being for a man is woman. Why? A woman who perfectly wins the
perfect love of man and the man who can perfectly win the love of a woman can
conquer the world and conquer the universe. No matter what you do in your
uncontrollable love, even if you pinch your lover's cheek so that she need
stitches, the following morning she would never sue you. Is that true? The
stronger your expression of love the better. Even by physical hurting,
Father even says maiming, maybe you would lose one arm by doing that, still
it would be a source of eternal pride, not a source of regret. In that theory
maybe when you die in love, maybe it is even better. Is there any American,
either man or woman, who determines to themselves, "I am going to get
married so that I can die!"? Does anyone think, "My goal is to
die and then I'll be the happiest being" or "I may die in bed,
but I'll bet my life for marriage"? Is there such a man or woman in
America? Father would like to see just one. What about among Unification
Church members? Could Father find one or many? [Many.] So when you are
matched and married together you are perfectly handsome and beautiful,
but after a while you lose an eye. Then you lose your nose. Would you then
say, "Oh now we have to divorce"? Can you ever say that? Do you
think that if you lose one eye here on earth that in spirit world you will
be without an eye? No, you would have an eye, in fact, a more perfect eye
because it is unused! It's like a brand new eye. So when curious people ask,
"Why do you have only one eye?", you can answer, "I really
tried to educate my spouse as the best bride in the whole world and in the
course of doing that I lost my eye." That means you are a champion in
the spirit world. He will win the number one prize in the spirit world.
Suppose there was a couple where one of the loving spouses was missing
all four limbs, they only had a torso and head but they made a perfect
marriage. They will occupy the number one place in the museum of love in
heaven. So whatever is difficult here, in the course of principle, will
become that much higher a glory in the spirit world. What about Father? He
is the man with the record of having done everything to find a perfect woman,
and after finding her, made her a perfect woman. And in doing so he suffered
more than anyone else. He is a number one man, how about that?
Now we know the theoretical principle how we can bring one, two, three
generations into unification. Grandparents are the first generation, parents
are the second generation and children are the third generation. They
combine into one atmosphere following true love. That is the complete
settlement place. That is the ideal. It's clear, right? We should make that
accomplishment everywhere centered on true love.
With this clear firm idea in your head, from this morning, from this
point on resolve, "I am a queen who is about to set off on the journey
to find the greatest king on earth-my husband. I will make him one."
How much toil you have to go through to accomplish that! We have to simply
determine ourselves that "I will go to the bottom of hell, the lowest
place where no one has ever been." Even God will tell you, "No,
I can't do it. You go there and become God yourself." God may say that
but even to that point, we as Unification Church blessed couples must be
ready to travel.
[Father matches his hands fingertip to fingertip with one sister in
the audience.] Man is trying to match up so to become eternally connected.
Likewise, forehead to forehead, nose to nose, eyes to eyes, mouth to mouth
and navel to navel, all the way down we have to align ourselves to each
other. The mans arms and hands will form the outer rim and women will be
the inner rim. Since it is all men and all women's wish to become like this
and live as kings and queens representing the whole world, even to go to
the position of God, since this is every single individual human being's
desire and wish, Reverend Moon is now showing them the prototype, teaching
them the formula to become so. Amen!
Those who do not have grandparents, raise your hands? What happened,
did you chase them away? Did you disown them or did they disown you?
What happened? What about your own parents, do you have your own physical
parents? What about your own brothers and sisters? Unfortunately in America
it is all horizontal. There is just the very lonely couple. What position do
they represent? If that nuclear couple who do not have their parents, do not
have grandparents, and don't even want children, but they just get old and
go to spirit world, what happens to them? Because they do not go along with
this type of happiness they end up in a shady place where no one notices them.
The fact that we all have eyes, a nose and mouth already tells us that we
are all connected to an internal body and that each one of us represents all
the world. That fact is announced by the mere existence of our faces. All
throughout the body we see the construction of three stages. This is not
Reverend Moon's eloquent invention. This is the truth evident in the very
existence of the world. But even if Reverend Moon invented this as the
greatest invention, I think that it deserves the applause of the entire
historical world. No one has come to reveal this before. God is the grand
king and our parents are the nation's king. "I" am the modern king.
The conclusion of Father's sermon this morning, of the unification of
three generations, already becomes apparent. The answer is right here in
itself. Without family there is no way to unify these three generations. With
family they automatically are unified. What about Americans? Are Americans
the exception? Americans don't have grandparents. Americanism is couple-ism.
That means they didn't have parents. Where can they get the parents level
and grandparents level? You cannot make those two. Without these factors
and ingredients in your family, you cannot make perfection. What if we have
an adoption campaign? All the American families who do not have grandparents
now-you can even kidnap them by love. We will tell them, "Please stay
here in the throne of God's position and the king and queen position in our
family." Those people who are maybe out of a job, those who are at your
parents age level, you can bring them in as a parent. You can say, "Yes,
you're my grandfather now, you're my grandmother now. Even though you are
adopted, I will serve you as my real grandparents and father and mother,
even more than my own." If you can say that, any country will welcome
you. Even the spirit world will say Amen! So Father is asking again, those
wives of blessed couples who say, "I don't care about my father and
mother-in-law, or grandparents-in-law, they're not a part of my family",
raise your hands. We must be well connected with our ancestors. Father has
another question; those who want to eventually live in a senior citizens home,
raise your hands. There are polls done in senior citizen's homes. People say
they're unhappy, but by secret ballot they say, "I am here as the result
of my daughter-in-law." They say, "Because of my daughter-in-law
I am here rather than in my own family." Daughter-in-law means American
women. After Reverend Moon speaks like this 120 million American women hear
about this, "Yes Reverend Moon, you are right. Nobody told us like this,
but I will follow your teaching"-then will America flourish or perish?
Now it is the darkest hell, but they will see the dawn coming up and it will
become lighter and lighter eventually becoming heaven in this country. Dawn and
a glorious morning are coming. Will America prosper or perish? [Prosper!] They
have treated Reverend Moon like a spy, like someone who has been trying to
hurt this country. Would Reverend Moon hurt this country by teaching this?
Now they are beginning to understand Father's standard and turn around,
saying, "I am sorry Reverend Moon. We've persecuted you too much."
Now they come to bow down to him, the one who knew ahead of time that
history is moving in this direction. Now the Western civilization and
Eastern civilization are changing roles, centering on true love. Following
the teaching of Reverend Moon, this Western civilization will be overtaken
by the Eastern civilization, which the West have to follow in order to live
in principle. All America should thank Reverend Moon for revealing this truth.
Those who say, "Father I not only received your message clearly,
but I will live like this for the rest of my life!", those who pledge
this raise your hands.
