REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON
SPEAKS ON
THE UNIFICATION CHURCH
AND THE LAND
AND THE SEA
June 1, 1991
Belvedere, New York
Translator Col. Sang Kil Han
The topic of Father's speech this morning is The Unification Church
and the Land and the Sea. Where has man gained dominion today, on land
or sea or in space? Yes, on land. How much water is found within the human
body? Two thirds? Three quarters. In a way, man is like a bag of water. He
consists of water. What do we take in the most, food or water? [Water.] All
grains also have lots of water in them. Since we are living on land we are
depending on and exploiting the land. We weren't born with all the nutrition
necessary inside of us. We depend on an outside source. We are born small
but we absorb and absorb and take and take and thus become big. You eat
steaks don't you? When we slaughter cattle and eat their flesh, do we just
eat the cattle itself or are we eating something along with that? It's good
to our taste. It means we are getting the best part of the cattle and making
it a part of myself. Just think about it, in the animal kingdom, do you find
any species of animals that eat as much variety or as much quantity as human
beings do? There is nothing human kind does not eat or absorb. Centering on
man, many forms of the creation exist, for whom were they created? We have a
saying in Korean. We live to eat or we eat to live. It is interchangeable.
Which is the country that pays most attention to the sea even though
they are living on the land? Which do you think is greater, the number of
animals living on land or in the sea? Have you ever counted them? You can
only think about it. Do the fish of the ocean come to the land and eat the
grass and feed on the animals of the land? No. Of course there are a lot
of fearful animals in the ocean like sharks and killer whales and huge
animals. Even though there are a number of fierce animals in the water,
has anyone heard that they come on shore to occupy the land? How grateful
we should be to the ocean then. It is really the source of our life.
Where does the water come from originally? Does it come from the spring or
a river? Where do we get it from? Think about it, unless water is evaporated
into the atmosphere to form clouds, where can we get water? Could the Hudson
River exist without that cycle? Could the Mississippi River, the pride of
America, have come into being? Does the Mississippi belong to America? No,
before it belongs to America, it belongs to the ocean. Where do you think
we get rain? Without water all the conditions on the land by which a man can
live would not exist. If there was only one kind of tree on the face of the
earth, how unhappy we would be! Would animals like only one kind of tree like
evergreens or just deciduous trees? If there was only one kind of grass it
would be so complicated. Is there anyone who feels, "I like the desert,
I don't like greens" or "I don't like rocks"? Sometimes rocks
get in our way but without them it would be very inconvenient for us. Even
rocks serve a purpose. When rocks form a cliff underwater and water swirls
around and all things end up on the bottom, scavenger fish, such as catfish,
come down and vacuum up all the food in that kind of area. Nothing exists
without reason and everything exists for good reason, including things found
in the ocean. In turbulent water with rocky cliffs, small fish will collide
and die there. Bigger fish then come and feed on them. That is what happens
where the current is too swift and the small fish can't maintain control.
In the ocean we see a clear chain, a small fish is eaten by a bigger one
and that fish is eaten by little bigger one and that one is eaten by a still
bigger one. There is a very clear pattern. Do you think they feel sorry or good
when they eat a smaller fish. Good! In the world of fish, anything smaller
than their mouth is gulped down. In a fish, is there any part which he does
not need? Would fish exchange their eyes for even a hundred human eyes which
are supposedly much more precious and valuable? Even if a smaller fish were
offered everything that the ocean has in exchange for it's eyes, it would say,
"No, I will not exchange that for my own eyes." Looking at this
we wonder, did they come into being like that, by themselves, or did someone
plan this and then create it? If a tiger came and ate anything it wanted to
during the daytime, would other animals be able to exist? Surprisingly we see
tigers spend most of the day sleeping. They never prowl around twenty-four
hours a day, eating. They wait until midnight and about two hours from that
time they wake up and go out to find food, whereas smaller animals prowl
around in the daytime and when night comes they go to sleep. Large predatory
animals hide themselves in the daytime and work only a few hours at night.
Man, however, eats everything, even whales. There is nothing on the land
man does not eat. Man goes after all creatures waIking on four legs. Man
also goes after birds that fly in the sky. It is only man who goes after
fish in the deepest part of the ocean, animals that can only tee found in
the highest parts of the mountain and even birds that fly miles high. Man
goes after every one of them. Do any fish, no matter how big or skillful,
hunt for a bird that flies? Eagles and some other species of bird feed on
fish, but if they had plenty of food on land they would prefer that. Which
species has the privilege of eating all other things whether they be from
land, ocean or air? It is only man.
Why are Americans bigger in size and stature? Because they have been
feeding on beef and other animals generation after generation. Those people
who are obese and are getting fatter and fatter until it becomes a problem
are Americans and other meat eaters. See how many cases there are in this
country. For those from the Orient it is a strange and surprising sight to
see a man who is as big as a drum. Father one time saw a big woman who
was sitting on two chairs. Like the biggest animal becomes a king of all
animals, by the same token we can imagine the biggest woman will one day
become a true mother! Vegetarians never get that big. If someone asks you,
"Is there any meat you haven't eaten?" Can you answer, "Yes,
there are many things I haven't tried"? You have seen the movie Shogun,
haven't you? It swept the country in 1978. It showed the Japanese eating raw
fish. The Westerners thought the Japanese were hopeless barbarians, that they
were not civilized. Today a lot of Americans go to Japanese restaurants and
eat sashimi. When they eat sashimi they never use a knife and fork because
it's unsavory. They use chopsticks and carefully hold up the piece of
fish and look at it and say, "Wow, this is expensive!" Then they
gingerly drop it into their mouths and appreciate it. They just drop it in
and the taste of it is something else! You don't eat this with a fork. With
a fork you have to carry your food. You either carry your mouth to the fork
or carry your fork to your mouth. Those who never tried eating sashimi will
never understand. You know when we were young we used to roast soy beans,
toss them up into the air and catch them in our mouths. You will never know
how much fun this is unless you did it yourself. It is exciting so it makes
the taste very good. Father did that a lot. Even now Father misses the roast
beans. If he had some he would toss them in succession so that they land in
his mouth. Sometimes with a mouthful of roast beans, he would stand above a
small pebble and shoot them out. When he hit the pebble he'd feel so good! And
when you go to the bathroom, which is a different type of bathroom than what
we have in America, the kind of bathroom you used to have 100 years ago,
but everyone in Korea still has, you can look down at your droppings. Then
you gather saliva, phlegm if you have it, is better, and you try to drop it
down and hit the droppings without hitting your own body! If it comes down
just the right way and lands on a bull's-eye, you feel good! Sometimes you
try three days to hit on the bull's-eye and smell, oh no, it doesn't smell so
bad at all, but after three days, you feel so good when you finally succeed
in hitting the bull's-eye. So seriously you bomb it. Hit it and after that
you feel so successful. Why is Father telling us this? Depending on how a
man plans and achieves that plan, happiness comes from that. It is a happy
occasion when you plan something and then accomplish it.
When man lives a long life on earth and then goes to spirit world and
calls, "All the flesh I've eaten on earth, now assemble", all
the animals will assemble in front of you. All existence lives for the
sake of something larger than itself, and those things which are larger
exist for someone else still larger. The world is simply not the strong
eat the weak like Charles Darwin said. That is a dead wrong perspective of
life. It is not the strong eat the weak. It is the owner of the universe,
the one who created the universe, created all things for the sake of man,
period. Things were created with that specific purpose in mind.
So has man conquered the ocean or not? Did or didn't man conquer the
land? Of course he did. What about space? He did that too. The flow of
culture or civilization is like a winding river. A river starts from a
trickle and becomes larger, bigger in width and deeper. It looks like a snake
doesn't it? Why does a river wind? What is your answer? In order for it to
become long and wide. That is why the river winds. Which is the longest
river on earth? [Nile.] Which is the widest? The river has to become long
and travel far and then it embraces a large amount of animals. The river
chooses to travel in a winding pattern. When there is a valley, it follows
all the valleys around the mountain. There are many tributaries, smaller
rivers to feed on the large one-. Would American water and Korean water
get married or not? Would Americans put up a fence to keep out clouds
made from evaporated Korean water, saying "You are contaminated,
don't come"? Would it work? No. No matter what a man does, nature
works by itself. Among water there are many elements, but is water dirty or
clean? Think about it, three quarters of an animals mass is water so when
they die, where do they end up? They supply water, don't they? Where does
it end up? In a river under the earth. Water says, "There is nothing
I haven't conquered. Green grass don't be proud of yourself. If I wasn't a
part of you, you would never be as green as that." Is this true or not?
It is. Even in the driest desert, once in a while a big rain comes.
It really is an ideal setting that God provided. When it is hot all
the clouds gather together. Everything is balanced. Even though it is hot
weather and a lot of clouds gather together, when it stays hot, then there
is all kinds of water coming at the same time. But in the evening it cools
down. What would happen to your body if water proclaimed that "By
the great king of water I will concentrate only in one area!" Your
nose would not exist anymore because it is water. If all water came into
a man, he would simply be another big drop of water. Tigers drink water
by lapping. Have you see that? Cattle are too big to do that, they almost
siphon water in, but tigers drink water by a stoke of the tongue. Even big
tigers. They don't drink like human beings do, they can only lap a few drops
at a time. Is there animal you can name which does not take water? There is
no exception. How precious or expensive water is! Which is more precious,
one's life or water? Water is almost as precious. Everything we see beauty
in and see as useful, was made possible through water. Now we want to feel
appreciative towards water.
Today's topic is the Unification Church and the land and the ocean.
Which is more important, the land or the ocean? Have you ever stopped to think
like that? Through Father pointing this out specifically we can come to think,
"Why didn't I think of that before?" If there is no water in an
area of land, it becomes a desert. All the scenic beauty in the United States
and all around the world, like beautiful mountains which boast huge cedar
trees and all greenery, none of them would have ever been possible without
water. All the streams and brooks and waterfalls, how properly they fit in
with the scenery, flowing through it. All are the works of water. Think about
the huge amount of snow up in the north and how it gradually melts to supply
a steady flow of water. All these things are works of art of water. The ocean
has traditionally been nourishing all the living things on earth and creating
all the greens, supplying food for all the animals. That is what the ocean
has been doing, nourishing all creatures including humankind too. Should we
be proud of it or grateful for the fact we have water in our body? Should
America be proud of being the strongest country or should it be the one most
appreciative of water? [Most appreciative.] You should be humble towards
water and very grateful for water.
Water goes as high as it can, all the way up to the sky, but then it
seeps down to the deepest core of the earth as well. It goes not only high
and deep, but also wide. There is no space where living things do not owe
their life to water. There is no where water does not occupy compared to
the human conquering of the world. Wherever water goes all living things
must follow. This is true. Which would be more precious, pure air or pure
water? In this perspective the most necessary thing for human kind is water,
number one. And what is the second most important thing? Air. And what
else do we need? Sunshine. To sustain life these are the three elements
necessary; water, air and sunshine. Why do we go to the beach to get lots
of sunshine? [Father draws on the board.] This is land, this is ocean and
this is the seashore. Why do we have to go to the sea? The man who lives
on land wants to go to the seashore to get in contact with the water and
have lots of good air to inhale. That's what they want to do; get water,
sunshine and air.
[Father writes some Chinese characters on the board.] Depending on which
line is wider, this connotes sunshine, this connotes speaking. Most people use
this one but Father says it has to be this way. This means scenery, which has
sun right here. This 'kyung' means metropolis where a huge concentration of
man can be found. This is where the king lives and the president lives. The
highest being in human society would live right here. This second word is
father. Actually this is the way this word is analyzed. This means father. This
means to reach fatherhood. These two words together is "scenery."
There is no other way to express scenery. It has a "sun" in it,
"metropolis" in it and "reaching to fatherhood" in
it. So when you go to the seashore you have good water, good air and good
sunshine. While you're swimming, do you feel thirsty like you need to drink
McCol or cola or anything like that? Actually as long as you are immersed
in the water, you don't have to drink a drop of water. This is because all
your cells, instead of taking water through your mouth, take it in directly.
Do you remember Father spoke many years ago for sixteen and a half hours?
During that time he never went to the bathroom. You might wonder how this
is possible. It is because the water dissipates through sweat. Likewise the
body absorbs water too. Usually you don't have to take water to the seashore,
but many do just out of habit. They think they are thirsty. If you really are
thirsty just immerse yourself in the water. Like a whale, just stay under a
few seconds there then come up again. If you do that often enough you never
need to drink any water. Maybe you need lots of water because you're sitting
in the sand and the sand absorbs your water, not the other way around!
Again, the most important elements for sustaining human life are water,
air and sunshine. Wherever water goes, air goes too. What about in the ocean,
is there air underwater or not? Yes, there is. Father went to the ocean;
has Father's skin become darker or lighter? Which do you like; lighter or
darker? [Darker.] Do you like white people or black people? One reason you
like darker people is that throughout history, perhaps the race that killed
more people is the white race, not the other way. It's not reasoning, it
is a fact. When you go to spirit world there are not many white people in
heaven. The gigantic universe is fair. It is not unfair. It is fair and
balanced. Which would you prefer, more men than women or more women than
men? You might say, "More women", but what would eventually happen if
you have more women than men? What if there are more men than women? Isn't it
surprising that some families have lots of daughters? All they have is five,
six or seven daughters. But on average there are about the same number of
men and women in the world. Why do you think some people lose their husbands
or wives early? If you become a widow or widower of course you feel sad, but
you never thought, "I am greatly taking part in balancing these numbers
of men and women." When there are too many men, a few men will go to
spirit world so that the number will balance out. It's true. Is there any
better way of explaining it? Have you ever gone into it to determine if this
is really true? Of course you haven't done that, have you? So everything is
working for its own balance. Do you think those who lived the longest on earth
are necessarily the happiest people? Not necessarily. Everything is fair.
If you go to spirit world earlier, it's not necessarily bad because you
sin so much less. You will find that in the spirit world you would have to
work less to offset it and indemnify your life. It's true. You might say,
"It's not fair that old person is still living, he's useless. Why does
he live a long time?" and here is a young person who is very promising
and he dies young. Is it unfair? No. From the big eye of the universe it is
a fair act of balancing.
Those who are dozing off in Father's sermon this morning, how can they
doze? Where else can they get this precious kind of talk? Father wonders to
himself, "Oh, he must have worked very hard last night. What would
he have done? Maybe he went to rob something in the night time. What did
he do?" If he has done something worthwhile and as a result of that he
dozes, fine, he can be forgiven. But if he didn't do nice things, yet he is
dozing off, because this is valuable and precious, the punishment going to him
will be even greater. That's always the way it is. The world is fair. When
Father says this, that very person who was dozing off now feels ashamed and
bows down. Not even reaching that degree of repentance is the person who is
yawning, "Oh, I had a good sleep." That is something we should be
ashamed of. The universe will look down on that kind of person.
When you go to a firing range the focus of your attention is the
target. There is nothing but this point at the center which matters.
When someone hits that everybody is in an uproar. Though we have a small
congregation, this meeting is more important than the Christians of existing
churches, even though millions of them may gather together. Which is more
valuable, a huge church like that or this small handful of Unification Church
members? You already know.
Have you ever heard of or seen any minister who takes the ocean very
seriously and goes out to the ocean every day and explores? What about women,
do you think men love the ocean more than women do? Yes, it is true. Woman
is like an island, men represent land. Women automatically want to see
the land centered on someone. Women do not really care so much about the
ocean. Do they like catching fish or catching anything? No. There are two
very different responses from men and women. If you have an 80 pound striped
bass on the line, the man is so excited he wants to plunge right into the
water and embrace it and catch it. Whereas women look down at it and ask,
"What is it? It is big." They want to retreat. She is afraid of
the teeth. She's even afraid of the splash!
The blackfish like Father caught yesterday have an amazingly strong set
of teeth. They can crush anything, including the hard shell of a clam. There
is all kinds of attention you have to give in catching different species of
fish. To catch blackfish you have to be the most sensitive. We use crate for
bait. [Father draws picture on the board.] Everyone knows what a crab is,
right? Father is showing you all the detail. The eyes stick way out because
he has to see far. They look like an antenna. Take the live crab and cut it
in half and use it as bait. It is attached to the hook like this. This is the
line and the man with the pole is here. The blackfish will come around and
take this bait away. It's really amazing how he does this and then gets away.
You have to time it right. Be careful and when the fish strikes you have
to land it. Father's record catch is a whopping fifty-two blackfish in
one day. Yesterday Father wanted to break that, but he caught forty-two.
If he caught fifty-two fish and each one averages two pounds, that is 104
pounds. If you get five dollars per pound that is $520. Wherever you go,
you can live on fishing; striped bass, tuna, any species. There were seven
men on the boat and altogether they caught sixty-two fish. Father caught
forty-two, so the other six people landed the remaining twenty. This is
usual and always true. Father catches more than two thirds of the total
catch all by himself. Halibut fishing in Alaska is the same.
The highest boat price of tuna is $37 per pound. Can you believe
that? Insane, but true. Eighteen years ago when Father first caught tuna,
the boat price was ten cents a pound. Who brought this increase in the
price? Father did and everyone knows it. The fisherman are very respectful
of that. Fisherman like Reverend Moon. Without that raise in the fish price
they would have gone out of business. This is one example that Father knows
more about the ocean than anyone else, how the fish live, many things. The
only thing Father didn't catch is a whale, of course. It is now forbidden
to catch. If Father was given permission to catch a whale, just imagine
how many whales Father could catch! There are lots of big exotic fish in
the Amazon River. They need to be caught too. Why does Reverend Moon catch
fish? Father simply wants to find out about the species of fish which God
created for us years and years ago. "My own Father who created these,
after millions of years, what is remaining and what do they look like?"
Should Father continue this exploration until he gets old or should he quit
catching fish? If Father catches all these kinds of fish, later on he can say,
"Anybody who catches the same fish as Father caught bring it here."
When Father says, "All Unification Church members who caught the same
species as Father caught, have them stuffed then bring them all to one place
like Seoul". Seoul will be full of all species of fish, a museum. Those
who respect and love and try to become one with Reverend Moon will all come
and appreciate this museum aquarium. When Father catches a fish, do the
leaders here want to take it to the taxidermist and make a trophy? When later
asked, you can say, "This is the original fish which Father caught on
this certain date here in America." In years to come can't you see the
value of that? People will want to come from all over the world to see. If
you have lots of these mounted trophies of the fish that Father caught,
the more you have the more America can be proud of. But if America doesn't
have it, and only says, "I don't know where they went" later on,
then really you lose face and value.
It was 1962 when Father built the first boat. Father sees that the future
food supply of mankind lies in the ocean not on land. Fish will not only be
caught, but bred and farmed in the ocean and fed to man. You can achieve an
endless supply of food from the ocean. Fish farming will bring in thousands
of times more yield than a ranch on land. Here is an example. The biggest tuna
Father caught was 1,273 pounds. Almost a record size. If you catch one tuna
like that it provides one year's wages for a high salaried person. Catch
one fish and you can live off of it for the whole year. If Father was a
professional fisherman and he had to make a living from it, he would make it
a point to follow the tuna. How many do you think he could catch? Many. How
much money could he bring from it? You can figure it out. If it is $38,000
for one fish and you catch 100 fish. . . it is in the millions of dollars. Of
course if you fish seriously for the whole year, you can live comfortably for
your entire life. We see the magnitude and impact of this already. But women
don't see that, they tell their husbands, "Don't go to the ocean like
Father says, don't be a fisherman. Go to college. You have to go to school
and make a good salary. That is better." Look at how much a fisherman
can receive in just one month. That is a problem. Each one wants to be a rich
person, don't you? Everyone wants to be a millionaire. There are many things
you can do. If you have no place else to go and make a good living, all you
have to do is go to the ocean and learn how to make a good catch. Better
yet, you can have an island and build that island to be a better kingdom
than anywhere else. You can do that by catching fish. Its so resourceful.
[Father draws another picture.] This is a small boat with an American
flag. Here is a man and a smaller figure which is a woman. Father has
been out on a boat for sixteen years now, he began in 1976. Father spends
a great deal of time on the boat, but Father never just spends time,
you know that. Father is thinking deeply about many things. What do you
think Father thinks about when he goes to the ocean? Now Father has seen
so many boats out working on the ocean, he can explain what is wrong and
what is good with each boat design. He knows how to make them better. Now
Father can make the most beautiful, most convenient boat for fishing. Do
you understand? That is the most important thing-convenience. That boat
is the One Hope. One Hope boats are the one thing which Father did that I
don't understand so much." Starting from that most beautiful boat of
that size we can go bigger and bigger in size. Father can make any boat
in any size. Father already made a foundation. Recently Father bought a
factory trawler boat where they can do their own canning and processing.
Now we are rebuilding it with our own equipment and techniques. Father can
do anything with a boat as far as shipbuilding is concerned including net
making and distribution of nets. Our company can make any kind of boat,
no problem. We are now researching submarines. In the future five family
members will want to live in a good place. Which is the best place? The
mountain top is not the best. The middle of the sea is, down under the
water. How can you live there? The most useful thing for that is a submarine.
Do you understand? You can go to the most deep, cool place, going down,
where there is no heat. You can look at every kind of fish, day and night.
Surrounded by all those colorful fish swimming and dancing, how wonderful!
Starting here from an American port, there is no boundary, you can go
everywhere freely. What a convenient way of living. What do you think? I
like that. I will live like that until I have to go to spirit world. How
wonderful you are when Father makes that foundation and leaves it for you. For
you, not for me. "For me" means only one man. "For you"
means for everybody. Do you understand? For you I research everywhere.
In doing so Father never relied on anybody. Father pioneered strictly by
himself. How much Father thought about the ocean you can only imagine.
Ordinary fishermen are different. They bring in the fish, just count the
head of the fish and that's all. That's the end of it. But for Father, he
thinks about the future of human kind, the future of the Unification Church
and many things related to that. There is nothing Father didn't contemplate
while fishing.
One day Father went bluefishing all day and through the night. He reeled
in fish after fish. Father knows that no one could possibly catch more
bluefish than he did that night. He caught 400 plus fish. Why did Father do
that? Because Father needs a record. In order to check with God he needs a
record. Don't you think it is strange, from the fish's point of view there
are other hooks and other bait, other people have poles, but the fish come
around and instead of biting them, the fish bite Father's bait. They are
sensitive to smell. There is something different about Father's bait. How
wonderful it is, when Father catches one fish that represents a certain number
of mankind being restored. Otherwise, they will just become expendable.
Do you know how Christians survived by using the fish through Roman
persecution? That's a good fish Father drew. Christians used this symbol and
survived. That's the secret emblem. As soon as the fish submerges, no one can
see the fish. All they see is the horizon. The Roman Empire had such great
prosperity, but the Christian world was like the bottom of the sea. This is how
the Christians survived. All anyone could see was the horizontal water line,
but submerged under that, the strong Christian empire was being built. Once
the Romans come down they cannot go up again. They simply perished. Whereas
the Christians came up, up and up and soon conquered the Roman Empire.
One time in the middle of the night there was a big message letting him
know where to assemble the sea. Father did and Father went to sea in the
greatest storm in the middle of the night. Usually it takes two hours to
reach the tuna grounds, but it took Father eight hours that day because of
the rough, high seas. How tedious that was, but he had to endure. There-in
lies every secret. While Father was cruising to the fishing grounds with
the sea rolling so high, Father knew even the Coast Guard would never like
to come out in that sea. There Father proclaimed ownership of the ocean,
"Here the ocean is mine." Father proclaimed even to God in order to
lay the strongest unswerving foundation for the future world to come and to
make a foundation for ocean and fishing life, "I am doing this, heading
towards that goal." When Father reported that to God, even God said,
"You are doing right, Amen!" He would never say, "It is too
rough, don't go."
So American women, do you all love Father or not? [Yes!] Maybe just the
women here love Father but what about women outside they don't love Father
do they? [One day.] Someday.
Since Father came to America, he has fished in all three oceans and
there is hardly any fish that Father has not caught. Father knows as a fact
that none, not even the most successful person in the fish industry can ever
match Father's deepest heart and dedication that he has given to make his own
foundation in this ocean world. Not talking about members of the Unification
church, but in addition to them, outside people understand Reverend Moons
unusual effort for the ocean. Now they know his high standard.
You all wish you had a boat also, don't you? One day you will have a
house all your own and in front of that there will be one or two cars.
Would you like that or would you like to have a car and at the same time,
a boat along with it? [A boat.] $20,000 is what it takes to get a boat and
for you, through your fundraising, it is not an impossible amount to make. If
Father builds the boat on his own time and money and people and gives it to
you, it isn't your boat. That's Father's boat isn't it? $20,000 is the cost
of the boat with no one making any profit. That is the cost of materials
and labor. With $20,000 you can get a beautiful twenty foot boat. Those who
want to own this boat can come and serve two weeks. Certainly you cannot,
on your own, by yourself with $20,000 build a boat in two weeks. But we
can. Father has already now started a prototype which will cost $20,000 and
take two weeks to build. It has an egg shape, this is typical of the shape
of Father's boat. [Father draws picture.] This is the contour. The bow is
like a wide apron. Can you imagine? No matter how fast it goes, unlike any
other boat, it is pretty dry. It doesn't take on water. All the passengers
sit right here in the stern. When you go slow then you get a little wet,
but when you go fast you never take on any water. The Coast Guard was really
amazed at our boat. They were really praising it, saying they had never seen
a boat like that before. A wave looks like this, there is always a valley
and a peak. But this boat is so fast it goes from one mound to another mound
of the waves so it has no time to take water in.
What is the topic of Father's speech this morning? The Unification Church,
land and sea. Not see, but sea. Scenery and sea, with two eyes you can see
them both. The One Hope boat is number one in catching fish and it is a
very convenient boat too. Everyone acclaims the One Hope boats agreeing they
are number one. This is why Father never sold any boat he built, any of the
hundreds of them. One time there was a serious offer. The Coast Guard wanted
to buy seventy-two of them or they asked if we could build them for them.
Father didn't go for it. When we sell it to other people the ownership
becomes mixed. Father didn't want that to happen. All the boats in the
future belong to the Unification Church automatically no matter who owns it,
because we never sold them. Later we will screen customers carefully, to see
who welcomes the Unification Church and then maybe we will sell it to them.
But Father will sell them to no one else.
Father has pointed to Mr. Pak. Mr. Pak is head of engine maintenance. He
is a very skillful person. He can fix any automobile, any engine, and also
the engine of a boat. So he will prepare. In the future if you have a boat,
at that time that kind of man can be very useful. Do you understand? If he
visits your home you must treat him well. Give him a good lunch and good
dinner. After, you have to learn all about the engine yourself. You should
know how to drive the boat and how to repair it. I have to teach that to all
American Unification Church women. How about that? Great? Mr. Pak's face is
one you have to remember because when your own boat has a problem, you know
you can depend on him. Those who welcome this let's give a hand to Mr. Pak.
So this is your responsibility. First, see to it that the boat is in good
condition, maintaining the engine and the hull. Secondly to prepare completely
for fishing. All the gear and all related things. One time Father went to
New Orleans. I called and they immediately prepared everything. When Father
says to prepare, you should know how to prepare and be completely ready
to go fishing. That way Father can catch a lot of fish. In the future it
will become a good, big business, not just sightseeing, going to different
places and staying on the beach, but fishing. The main activity of going to
the seashore should be fishing. Fishing tourism will become a big business
in the future. What we will develop is a wonderful niche, something other
people don't do. That is, we not only invite them and put them in the best,
safest boat and go to the fishing grounds and catch the fish, but what they
catch we can package and ship by air back to their own home. So the very
fish he caught will arrive at his home. Also, this boat is unsinkable. It
will not sink. One time forty passengers got on the boat and they were
jumping up and down. Even though it took on some water, it never sank. It
cannot sink. That was a twenty-eight foot boat and the twenty foot boat
will be the same. Just looking at it Father feels it is so good, you can
pay $20,000. It's that good. Once we own this we need not worry forever
about how to make a living. With that Father knows you can take any part of
the sea and be able to make your own living. This is why Ocean Church was
designed and this is still necessary. So far, a lot of fishermen catch a
lot of fish, but they cannot sell it. The middlemen exploit the profit. Not
with us. For anything we catch, we have a land force, a strong sales network
for fish all over the world. Don't you know that? We have a huge tank and
we are selling live fish. We've been doing that for tens of years now.
If you can keep the fish alive you can command at least three times the
price over fresh fish which is dead. Blackfish, for instance gets a mere
sixty-seven cents a pound boat price because it is so plentiful. It is
fresh but dead, sixty-seven cents a pound is almost nothing. Whereas if
you keep it alive, bring it to the tank and sell it as live fish, then you
can get five dollars a pound. What a big difference there is. That seven
point five times more money you can get. If you really take this seriously,
all you have to think about is how to get this twenty foot boat. Then take
it seriously and go out to the ocean and catch fish in a timely way and sell
it on land. You can make enough earnings. You don't have to dock it in an
expensive harbor or slip either. This is a portable boat, you can carry
it on a trailer anywhere, to the east coast, west coast, to lakes, down
south, anywhere, including South America. You can cultivate your fishing
sites all over this big land. Do you like that? Really? I didn't know that!
How wonderful Unification members are!
This is what Father thinks; so long as you are a member of the Unification
Church, you have to think about this so seriously. You may say, "Father
I have no money", but even if you have to sell one leg of your wife
or one of your wife's arms, you should. Father is not asking you to sell
everything, just one! You cannot ride on a woman to go to the ocean, you
need a boat. The boat is so necessary! So let's go the democratic way; we
all agree with Father; all blessed couples of the Unification Church should
maintain a boat in the future or else they cannot be in the mainstream of
the Unification Church. How about that? [Yes!] You said "Yes"
and yes means Jesus. That is how we say Jesus in Korean. Here in America,
Christians really love Jesus, don't they? They do. Just as they cannot
forget Jesus, we cannot forget saying, "Yes, yes, we will take on a
boat." Together with Jesus you cannot go to the ocean. But, riding on
a boat, along with Jesus, we can go to the ocean.
Already two hours have passed. Look at American history. One hundred or
two hundred years ago at most, they came and they had nothing. They came
with bare hands. One thing they had in mind was, "I should build in this
land of opportunity, my country, better than Europe where I come from."
That was always in their mind. So they started creating mansions. You see so
many mansions in the United States. They built estates just like the royal
estates in Europe all around this country. "I have a great mansion,
it is so good, I am proud of it." This is the history of America.
America has been doing this the last couple hundred years. Once they built
a main mansion they couldn't walk the distance to their neighbors on foot.
So next what did they create? Carriages. Not just a one horse carriage,
or two, but four or six horse carriages. There was an era right after that.
But today who owns the best made automobile? It evolved. Who goes fastest?
Before the automobile era there was a horse carriage competition. They wanted
to see who could make a better horse carriage, faster and more comfortable
with more dignified looks. Then Ford came and started building automobiles.
So then came the age of the automobile. Since everyone owns an automobile
and they are pretty equal it is nothing to be particularly proud of. So then
people's zeal for a status symbol took them to boats and yachts. If you own
a boat you are better than your neighbor. In the beginning people wanted a
sailboat. Then it developed to a motor boat. This is a real chair and when you
sit on it, it is a very good feeling. Then they talk about how strong their
boat's engine is, how much horsepower it has, how fast it can go, if it is
dry or wet, all these things they discuss and wish they had a better boat.
Many families now own boats. After this it will go to airplanes. Then to
submarines. [Father draws a picture of one.] It looks like a whale doesn't
it? There is nothing which Father did not create. In Korea Father built
this, and built an automobile of course, and built a boat, even built an
airplane. Did you know that? Father actually built a full airplane. It
was one of the first airplanes built solely by Korean hands. Almost ten
years ago now Father went into submarine research. Father can actually
make submarines. This is the way we developed. After that maybe we have to
build something that will shoot like a rocket and take us up to space. All
it takes is getting a ten year supply of food and oxygen and go to space,
travel around for ten years and then come back to your home town. Actually
we are on the threshold of that kind of world. By the time you reach to
your hometown everybody is scattered or dead, and there is nothing exciting
so you pack up again and go another ten or twenty years, virtually living
in space. All mankind wants to go to a higher end wider place. That is how
they accomplish their dreams. During the times of primitive human kind, if
there was a river that was only 100 meters wide, the people could not cross
it. So the villages on each side would always call each other names. This
would go on for ten years and still not be resolved. And they remained as
enemies, starting as a child and remaining to old age. They say the human
mind is not that persevering so they say, "Either they come here or I
go there, we have to settle this thing for once and for all." So they
started building a pontoon, a bridge. That is how they started to develop
and expand. It was in order to fight in the beginning. The village grew to a
country so now the fight is country against country. The separation became
wider than a 100 meter river. They started building a wooden boat, then
an iron boat, trying to make a better boat than the other. They competed
with each other to see who could destroy who first. Then countries tried
to cross the big sea to attack another country and occupy it. After that,
strong nations built galleys and crossed the Atlantic ocean to try to find
America. All of that they did. Human culture and civilization started from
the river and then went to the Mediterranean culture and then to the Atlantic
culture, the Pacific culture and now the space age culture. Space is like
an air ocean. It is the same color, space color is blue, the sea color is
blue. There is meaning there, a connection.
Now is a time in history where if left alone, Americans will be clobbered to
death by other nations. They are about to die either way. So what Reverend
Moon is trying to do is bring them over to Asia to save them. Father is
trying to bring Americans across the ocean and to the East to help them
survive. We all want to go to Asia don't we? At least you have a place to
go, and not just a place to go but a wonderful place to go, whereas other
Americans have no place to go. Space exploration was pioneered by Americans
and Westerners, no question about it, but with the development of faster
and more sophisticated computers, this baton will be handed over to the
Oriental people. Wait and see, they will develop space faster and better
than the pioneers. That is a future trend. It is already showing. There is
more development within the field of electronics in the East. Japan is just
behind and following Korea now. Centering on Father there is no problem. We
can bring all the Americans over there, of course there is no separation of
country. So Father is always paying attention, always checking to see who
achieved what standard in electronics development.
Father is also greatly focusing on the undersea world of submarines as well
as space. That is the future of our lives. Do you understand Wacom? Have
you heard of it? Wacom is unique. It doesn't compare side by side with
other electronic companies. They do what other companies do, but they have
gone beyond it. They are dealing with emotions through machines which is
one step higher. Japan was flabbergasted when they found out. They are
proud because this work started from Japan, but they work under the command
of Father. They are just talking about artificial intelligence, but they
have developed quite a bit in that area. Now when Father says, "Bring
that technology to America", they can do so overnight. Or by the
same token it can be taken to Africa. They can use it to produce what they
need for themselves. Humankind didn't exactly do that. For example North
America developed but they never helped South America to become like that.
Instead they just left that country murky while wanting to bring their raw
materials here and then make lots of money from it.
We will never do anything like that. Father has determined to make Zaire as
rich as Brazil. So we're not going to charge them anything. The secretaries
and ministers and even the president from Zaire hear about this and come to
discuss how they can be aided. All of these things are already taking place. We
will help Zaire to become a better country than Brazil and it won't cost them
anything. But then of course, the advanced nations are jealous, they don't
want that to happen. So they say, "Oh, don't do that. Stop that."
But this is the tide of the world and you cannot stop the tide. Russia too.
America and the Soviet Union combined into one against me. "How can we
reduce Reverend Moon's foundation all over the world?" They are making
that powerful investment, but they weren't successful. At last they were
defeated. Who was the victor? Reverend Moon. Now the Soviet Union knows
that no one can stop Reverend Moon. The Soviet Union was stopped, but not
Reverend Moon. High level Soviets are following him. The KGB welcomed me
for infiltrating the Soviet area. Our influence is already there.
The change during one year is phenomenal. This is reality not
concept. The CIA follows this kind of activity and automatically they welcome
it. "Oh Reverend Moon is teaching the American way" is what they
think. "Americans center on God. This teaching is America's most high
dimension. We didn't know it, but we found out from Reverend Moon. This is the
American way." They say this. What a CIA investigator who participated
in a training course heard had amazing influence. The CIA's last remaining
words are, "That is the American way. This is the only hope for the
future of the American world." These were their own words after hearing
our training session. The great religious leader, the one who did more and
has a larger foundation than a country even though he doesn't own a country
or even a village, is Reverend Moon. He has a higher vision than anybody
else including the area of industry. That Reverend Moon, who has done all
these things, why is he talking about the ocean? Even though we still cannot
fully understand what is in the ocean, we still have to take the ocean very
seriously today. Why else would Reverend Moon emphasize the ocean?
There is one place where there are hundreds of acres of land where the
climate is mild, the water temperature is just right and the clarity and depth
of the water is all ideal for fish farming-Cheju Do, the southern island of
South Korea. You could put a lot of fish in the water to grow. The area could
be divided into many smaller sections and have all kinds of fish. There would
be smaller fish in the shallow places. You can control the temperature and
environment to make it ideal for raising fish. People wouldn't throw the feed
to the fish. Instead everything will be computerized so it is done at the
right time. You simply push a button and all the feed will be distributed.
Eventually Father wants to hatch all species of fish and distribute them
to you in your own country. With one drum can you can literally ship
hundreds of thousands of small fry, the newly hatched eggs. The number
is staggering. Twenty million people die every year of starvation and
malnutrition. That is an average of 60,000 a day dying from starvation and
bad nutrition. America ideally, by God's desire would be responsible for
stopping starvation. But if they don't do that who will be responsible? The
only person remaining is Reverend Moon who is the True Parents of mankind. So
he must do this. No one else can do it.
Forty four people were trained for seven years in Alaska and sent out
around the world. You didn't know that did you? They are all connected
to an American base. When people begin to see their businesses becoming
profitable, the world will turn around and come to work with us. Bankers will
be excited and will come to see and try to work with us and even for us. Do
you understand? Once the people see, it becomes wonderful. In order to do
that Father first has to build a strong cadre, a strong center person. That
kind of person is not trained overnight. Father wants you to start from
scratch to educate yourself as a future leader of the ocean industry. So for
example, you may be in a very adverse situation where there are no boats,
but somehow you get a boat and takes it out to fight against the waves.
Train yourselves in ways such as this.
Catching fish is one thing, and going under water is another technique. CARP
has sent an expeditionary team to the Yang Tze River in China, the widest
river in whole world. Pretty soon they will go to the Mississippi. The other
day Korean television broadcast a story about this and they were amazed that
PWPA and CARP had this capability. They were really praising it. Pretty
soon they will study the Mississippi. In Japan there is no big river so
even the biggest river in Japan is no problem.
In the Mediterranean Father will start to explore and spread to all areas
of the sea,. We too should take interest in underwater techniques. In Spain we
are already beginning there. The basic idea is that a lot of boats surround
the schools of tuna and chase them to a encircled area in a bay. It can be
closed off then sectioned with nets. The fish can be fed and raised on this
farm. There will be a new tuna farm there. In the off season you can get $37
per pound. There is such a demand for this fish. This is not what we will do,
but what we are doing.
In the beginning everybody opposed us because it is not conforming with
their way of doing things for the last ten years or one hundred years. But
we never succumb to that. In the future they will more clearly see that no
other person who has lived, except for Reverend Moon, who stood from the very
first day, pioneering this huge concept, not only is making it a reality,
but he studied it and proved it by becoming a first rate fisherman. For tens
of years in the rough, rough sea, he put in incredible hours. Because of that
now we can see what the future of the fish industry will become. Even the
fish will all come out and say, "I welcome that for Reverend Moon."
They know that Father is the only one who loved fish. Just like Father has
done for sixteen years now, first all you have to do is just go under the
sun and be drenched in the sunshine. Just get sunburned. Start from there
and start leading people. In the beginning, sweat will come dripping down
off the end of your nose here, one, two, three, four, five drops. You count
those drops and they become the taste of your day.
I am going to many coastal nations and areas, so those who follow in my
wake can have lots of hope. "You can start having lots of hope",
that is what we can proclaim to the world. When that happens, the Unification
Church can be worshipped right in the ocean, right in the boat. We don't
need any church building we don't have to be on the land. Those people
who will dedicate their lives in the fish industry thinking about Reverend
Moon and thank God for that is a perfect Unification Church. That is the
church itself.
Do you know that most recently almost two hundred first rate legislators
from all fifteen republics of the USSR came to visit Father. The highest rank
person was a thirty-two year old Minister of Justice. Now they went back home
and they are giving Father the report saying, "Whenever you come to our
home area, we will welcome you. We are doing this as you suggested"
and things like that. When they ask Father to speak, he will speak, one, two,
three hours, no problem. Since they have only one station in their entire
country then that station will broadcast what Father is saying all throughout
the land. Washing their brain will be no problem! Their top leaders will
lift up a banner welcoming Reverend Moon. That kind of phenomena is going
on all over the world. This is reality, not concept. You know more than me!
When twenty million people are dying from starvation and God is
thinking about this, if our True Parents don't think like God, where do
you think they will go? They would be punished by God, isn't that true?
True Parents and those who follow them would only be punished if we cannot
follow God. Father has already accomplished, that is why he is giving us this
conclusion today, but this is about the time where Father has already done
this and you ask, "Oh Father if you told me this ten years ago then I
would have participated in your activity". You might say that. But the
time is already gone. Father is already saying good-bye to this country
and the fishing industry in this country. Father is already seventy-two,
he cannot go on forever like this. Father has to return to his homeland too,
now that he has spent eighteen or twenty years here. This is the one country
where Father has spent so much time.
Father has transferred the baton to his three cousins. They are the three
actual physical brothers of the Moon clan. Elder Moon has been assigned to
the east coast, the middle elder Moon will go to the south coast, the Gulf
of Mexico and the youngest elder Moon will go to the west coast. Father
has instructed them. "You don't have to catch fish, but be there. Be
there long hours even under the sun. Be on the boat rain or shine, rough or
smooth. Be there and be the hope and example for other people". That is
what Father told them. "Do this, live or die". Fishing activity
starts at 5:30 in the morning. When tuna season comes it is three hours
earlier. Father has already decided to train all Unification Church members
in ocean going activity-all the family, not only the husband but the wives
too. This will be our basic training. Those who want to live for a longer
period of time on earth raise your hands. If you want to eat long, your
staple diet should be fish. You eat fish and live longer. Father doesn't
really approve of eating animals of the land like mankind has been doing for
thousands of years. It's simply not good for your health. It's too acid and
later on these cattle and meat will be ground to make fish feed. They will be
fed to fish and we will eat the fish. That's the most convenient way. The
best fish is raw, not processed fish. You can have that for breakfast,
lunch and dinner. You have to use fire now. Fire makes smoke and smoke
makes pollution. Now the ozone layer is breaking, this is a problem for all
humankind. Just imagine what kind of madness is going on here on earth. The
chemicals have been used so much that it has destroyed a big hole in the
ozone layer. This is no imagination, because of this thousands more people
are dying. Of course fossil fuel is coming to an end now. Pretty soon,
we'll be using electric cars. There will be no more pollution to make a
bigger hole in the ozone. The times are changing.
Putting on clothes like this is not good for your health either. The
best way is to have loose clothing with lots of air coming in and out all
throughout the twenty four hours, 365 days, all year round. Air and water
should come freely in contact with your skin. Nylon barriers are no good for
your body. That kind of style of life will change. People have already started
wearing the minimum covering. It is more ideal. If you really follow God's
way of thinking, there is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed by. It's
natural, the way we are born. Once we know it is the most precious thing,
we'll obey. When you obey, you don't keep your eyes wide open do you? You
just close your eyes and bring your head down and obey. Americans will say,
they keep their eyes wide open and bow down, but their eyes will blame them
and say, "Do like the Orientals do." When you become humble you
have to close your eyes. That is the natural way. Once you really come to
know the value of it and respect it, there is nothing wrong or vulgar. You
probably will not even open your eyes to look at it. That's true. That's the
way we should be. Father is not infusing his own idea here or Oriental
thought. Not even Oriental people think this way. This is the natural,
God-given way of thinking.
Wherever there is water, hundreds of thousands of fish can be found.
Wherever you go then food will be no problem. Fish provide a large variety
of taste. You don't have to eat one kind of fish all the time. Do you think
it is possible that we plan the population of various species? Everything
in the tanks will be computerized so that the different stages and sizes of
fish are controlled. Then you can have a steady and uninterrupted supply of a
certain amount of fish for each group of people. In other words your food is
guaranteed no matter where you live on earth. We don't need a national barrier
where you need a passport to cross, or different language. Everywhere you
want to go like a bird or animal, you can go. Why can't human beings do that?
So Father already planned and proclaimed and it has met with some enthusiasm,
the idea of an international highway. The big highway will stretch all the
way around the world. You can travel and a few miles on both sides is a free,
common area. You can pitch a tent and live there. Japan being an island,
their thinking is so narrow, but now they are boring a big tunnel between
Korea and Japan so they can come in and out. The island becomes a continuation
of land, the continent. That is their dream.
Do you think it's God's idea and that God is happy that here in America
people never finish eating what is on their plate, there is so much unused
food that a lot is thrown away, meanwhile there are millions of people
starving the same day? [No.]
Also very quickly the time will come when you don't have to go to
a regular university. You need an education, Father agrees with that,
to discipline yourself. But you won't have to go for so many years to
school everyday. No, you don't have to go to school. Get a video tape of
the most famous professor. Don't go to the third rate professor, but first
rate professor. All you need to do is study a video tape of his lecture
in your own time and in your own place of choice. Your first lesson you
may get on the continent, your second lesson in South America, anywhere you
travel you can study. Later you take a national exam. You will get a graduate
certificate from the university. That day will soon come. It is mind boggling
what you can think about. If you have a specialization you can go to Korea to
study. Koreans can go to other countries to study sometimes in exchange. This
will bring the level of education up higher. You know the telephone can
be used to the maximum. The big telephone directory, each one has a number
where he can be reached, anywhere, anytime. You make this kind of classified
directory. That way you can answer so many questions over the telephone. That
day will certainly come that is why Father is really discouraging you from
settling down in a certain place. You don't have to settle down in a one
place and become a dead spirit there. Be alive and prepared to move around
everywhere and exert a Godly influence. A portable home, where all you have
to do is inflate it with air, is a perfect room. There is plenty of good
air. When you are ready you can move out, fold it up and move on. Everybody
has a car, so carrying your portable home is no problem. Even better have a
bus, why not? A full bus, why not? If you have many children, no problem. A
growing family is no problem, you can feed them fish. School is in the bus by
video and food comes from your fish farm. Father's family for instance, has
forty members, so they will take up a huge bus, but Father will fit everybody
in. Father will drive the bus and go anywhere in the world on the highway.
When Reverend Moon says, "I am coming" do you think any border
will stop him? They will say, "Please come into our country."
When Father passes freely, then who can also pass freely? You. You will be
able to pass freely. Don't you want that? Do you think Father is fantasizing
and this is a dream? No, this is a fact, it will become like that. What if
it doesn't become like that? Father will make it happen. When this becomes
reality, what is the biggest single problem we have to solve? Language is
the problem which no one can solve, not the president of the United States,
not the president of the Soviet Union, not even the president of the strongest
super nation can solve this. Only Reverend Moon. Are you learning Korean or
not? Is Father forcing us to learn Korean or do we think, as a normal human
being, "I must learn Korean." It has the deepest meaning connecting
the Creator's own concept. We are born following that concept. How can this
result deny God's ideal of creation? Even if we want to deny it we cannot,
we are born out of it. If we didn't fall, certainly no one would have to
make any sermon, we would already know. We would have one culture and one
language. We would have one direction in human history, not two. Who made
the two? Satan who is God and humankind's enemy. He wanted to make separation
so he could reign over it. Satan separated everything into a variety of
language. Our ancestors didn't want that. From now we know unification is
the conclusion. From Satan's influence bad parents spread bad words all over
against Reverend Moon. But Reverend Moon survived that and connected the
world that was going down and down to the True Parents concept, making the
high level United States and Soviet leaders follow him. True Parents are
behind. This is modern reality not concept. Otherwise there is no hope.
Unless you follow Reverend Moon's way there is no hope in the future. High
level intelligent people think in their deepest mind, "Reverend Moon
is the hope of the future direction of the world." Can America do
that? No. The Soviet Union cannot do that. They will only perish. Who can
protect this situation? Reverend Moon. Their high level people bow down
and say, "Thank you Reverend Moon. We're forever thankful." I
am making this kind of foundation. They see it is good, looking for God's
perspective. God is saying, "Reverend Moon is good, my child. . .
" not children, only one child. "My child is number one, good,
good, good forever." No matter how proud Americans might be, making
noise over all four corners of the world, that is bad. They will fall down.
Now separation starts. That is the "Inquisition" book. That book
did it. Do you understand? It completely separated America into two parts.
God's strategy has been so great. Look back at what happened through Father's
trial and imprisonment. God has made it so that Americans have no choice
but to bow down. A new America is about to take off, following Reverend
Moon. The New York Times can proclaim Reverend Moon's audacious announcement.
New York Post where are you? Why are they keeping silent? When there is a
small problem they write it on the first page. "Reverend Moon did bad,
bad, bad", they spread it all over the country and the world. But we
don't need it. When the fog is thick you cannot see even one inch, but once
the breeze comes and blows the fog away they will be able to see clearly
for miles. They will say, "That is what Reverend Moon has been doing.
He is the most high level, most precious, most fantastic person." They
will look at everything and understand. Many intelligent people will have
to study Reverend Moon's concept, the 200 volumes of Father's speeches.
Everyone has to be able to read it in the original language. The meaning
becomes different in the translation. Soviet scholars are now doing that.
Korean scholars are doing that too. Think about the future, who will do
that? Many Ph.D's will research Reverend Moon's concept. Millions and millions
of people. Do you understand? What have you been doing until now? "I
didn't know Korean. I didn't know the Divine Principle concept. I didn't
know God's ideal." You can't afford to say that. But this is reality.
We have to think about how can we change the entire intelligent world in only
ten years after the year 2000. Father is making preparation for that time
so they can receive heavenly fate. Otherwise they will miss out. Now the
time is coming to you. So the key is how you can make preparation at this
point. You need a foundation, otherwise there is no way to pass through.
A tide, like that in the ocean is coming. We have to prepare ourselves along
with Father for the oncoming changes in history. Before the time arrives we
have to prepare. Otherwise there is no way.
There are salt water fish and fresh water fish. As you already know,
it is fresh water where the salmon go to spawn. The shad also, in the
Hudson River. Three weeks and ten days, they make the whole transition from
fresh water to sea water. What if we brought sea water up to the top of the
Rocky Mountains? It would never dry up. All you would have to do is have
a huge pipe and a huge pump to pump the sea-water twenty four hours a day,
to the top of the mountain. So long as you can bring the sea-water in, it
means you can raise saltwater fish anywhere in the forty eight states. This
would really equalize everybody in their ability to compete and survive with
respect to food production.
In Hawaii Father saw four distinct seasons in different parts. Of
course the higher you go up, the colder it is, so it is "winter"
there. So you could build a huge, tall fish farm building and according to
the "season" you could farm a different way. No fuel would have to
be burned. Not even as much as a knife end fork, not even a chopstick would
be needed. You can manage by hand. It is that simple. How convenient! Then
what would you do all day? There is only one thing left to do-study how to
love each other better. Wouldn't that be true? Or perhaps you would study
how to eat fish better, how to sleep better and how to live for each other
better. That would be it. Five, ten, or even fifteen children would be no
problem. Heaven controls how many children you will have, it's not by your
control. What is your guess, do you think it is possible or impossible for
that kind of world to come? [Possible.]
When such a person with that vision makes sure that the vision comes true,
who is responsible except for that person? Who would everybody follow, except
for that person who has that vision and who has the ability to perform? Father
is already thinking of adding a fish farming class to the curriculum of this
new university which Father is buying. Wow! Is this just a wild dream,
or haven't all ideals begun with a wild dream, like flying in the sky and
communicating thousands of miles without traveling there? Only ten years ago,
it was a wild dream, but is what Father is talking about still just a wild
dream? This is all possible. For example, a huge computer can now be reduced
down to palm size and able to fit in your pocket. Now you need a magnifier
to look at it, things are the other way around.
The world where we are destined to go is our heavenly fate. You're going
to be a master, no doubt about that, but would you rather be a master of the
land or master of the sea? That is Father's question. [Both.] Father asked
which one do you prefer? Give one choice. That is the typical American way
to say "both" and evade the question!
As a leader, and a religious leader at that, why does Father go to the ocean
and catch a lot of fish? Many people never understand what Father is doing and
why. But look, this is so that Father can dedicate all these fish as food to
mankind, and dedicate the effort to God Himself. What chance does a fish have
to grow to maturity? Literally only one in millions of chances. Millions of
eggs hatch, but only one grows to maturity in a natural habitat. But with
fish farming, we already know the results. A whopping eighty percent will
reach maturity. That means eighty times more fish will be available for
food. The objective: to create a world where there is no need to fight each
other, no need to wage war. To reach that goal is what all humankind wants. In
each home instead of a small patch of garden, you will have a fish farm. You
will have enough fish growing to supply your needs. The best thing for your
health will be to eat raw vegetables and raw fish. You don't need to cook.
Your body can use it to the maximum and it can eliminate all the toxins.
The average length of life for a Japanese woman is seventy eight and seventy
three for men. Isn't that amazing. The question is, why do women live five
years longer than men? Because woman innately keep nutrition which can foster
another life. So women have more of the very basic source of nutrition than
men. This is how they can live longer. Even giving birth to many children,
giving away of themselves, the more you bear, the better. When you give
birth to a child at fifty years of age, that means that woman is still like
a youth. Look at Americans who don't typically have a lot of children.
Even if they give birth it is at a young age and as they get older they
don't want to bear any more. Their menstruation ends much earlier and they
age more quickly. Some Oriental women who give birth naturally, sometimes
even at the age of fifty, go on with their period many years after that.
All the indication is that they live longer and healthier. It is the God-like
way. So Father sees this as the ultimate goal and secret. Father feels that
there will be a lot of medical development in our church too. Women have two
ovaries and each month they send one egg at a time. What does that mean? So
long as you give this egg out and there is a chance to fertilize it, your
life is guaranteed at least for that period. You never get sick. Your life
never runs out until your ovaries run out. Do you know what Father is trying
to explain? That is the way human being were designed and created. So the
more children you bear, the better off you will be. In China today, there is
a strange law that allows each family to have only one baby. How sad this
is. Why do you think this kind of thing happened? Because they killed too
many people. Because of this law, parents kill daughters and continue to
have children until they get a son, and then they stop. They're right in
one sense, that the son is to inherit. They know that.
Father has lots of grandchildren, now thirteen. Father told them to
sing. One shyly came out and started singing. Then a second one. The third
one doesn't want to be outdone, so he will do an even better performance. The
previous ones then want to come back and try again. They sing the same
song but I with a different personality. Father was really fascinated with
this. Each child takes the song in a different way. Later it ended up like an
orchestra. Father really experienced happiness. The family without children
is like a desert. Some say forty family members is a lot, but Father feels
four hundred is still not too many. God is a being who can love millions and
billions of people. In all the years to come, God can still embrace everyone
who will be born. Still God can maintain the subject position centering on
true love. What a wonderful feeling so good! This is how God would feel,
Father felt that too. The family is the most, most happy situation. Don't
you agree? When you dance a really beautiful dance, hundreds of thousands
of people will applaud you.
Who typically lives a longer life, American or Japanese? We thought all
this time that America, which is an affluent country, advanced country and
scientific country, so they have been eating steaks and choice meats, they've
been eating highly nutritious meals and white bread. White people eat white
color bread. They look at Japanese and despise them saying, "They eat
fish and boiled barley three times a day!" But today, looking back, we
know who has been the wisest eater. They were healthier people following
a healthier diet whereas Americans have been eating destructive diets. We
see many people are now trying to imitate the Japanese way of eating. That's
what health food is. For the time being we thought Americans were well off
and Japanese were poor, but how fair God is. It is fair. In the long run
everything is fair and balanced. Once you reach the top, you can only go
down. Father has said this hundreds of times. So we should not be afraid
of going down because that is the only way we can go so we can come up once
more later on.
So you've now caught up with the concept of balancing between the land
and sea. That is the vertical heaven. Father worked so hard on land for
forty years. Now Father has to work as hard for the ocean to balance this
out. In Gloucester they told him, "Reverend Moon, go back home! This
is a white village."
You remember that tremendous persecution, don't you? Now they say,
"Don't go away. If you stay we will make this your territory."
Literally each year, a representative talks to Father, asking, "What
can we do for you? Let's work together." Do you understand balance?
Next time Western people go to the Oriental side, what do they do? The
Orientals will say the same thing, "Yankee go back home! This is
our territory." At that time Reverend Moon will intervene and say,
"The Western world welcomed me, so we will welcome them on the same
horizontal level centering on the vertical world."
What both the Western world and the Oriental world need is the vertical
perspective. If both sides complain, they cannot take the vertical view. Do
you understand? Think about what Father has written on the board. I am in
the vertical position representing God's vertical line. How wonderful to
have all humankind and land and sea centering on this. Both follow me. If on
the right hand you have land and on the left hand, sea, and when you turn
around 180 degrees, they exchange position. That is equalization. That is
the horizontal way. Father means we have to equalize the ocean and land. But
how difficult is it to do this? To get a taste of it you need to ride on a
boat in the winter time. You won't forget the need for vertical balance! You
always have to keep a sense of the vertical on a boat, otherwise you lose your
balance. Father never loses the vertical, no matter how rough it becomes. I
like that. I always want to take the vertical position.
A boat is the best place for training. Sometimes a typhoon comes and blows
around everything. At that time you are moving to the left, right, front
side, but you stay centered. I like that. Pledge to God ten thousand times,
"I'll take this position for the sake of saving all humanity." A
thousand times I pray that way. "God this child prays for you, I will
keep forever that position on the land in any village or on the sea."
How about that? Father is concluding the best training place is on the
ocean. It's balance. When Father brings everyone out on the boat he is very
fussy about keeping an overall boat balance, not individual balance. So if the
boat is slanted, Father will yell out, "There are too many people on this
side." Then immediately each individual knows who has to move where. That
is good training. Everybody is insensitive, so Father finds himself making
balance by himself, but Father wants the members to do it. They don't know
how to do it. Father is coming to a deep realization that this is the way
the world is. When the world slants, going almost upside down and toppling,
Father has to make extra effort to balance the whole world. And Father finds
it's not easy. He always has to be busy here, busy there, worried about this
and that. That is exactly what Father is doing in the world today.
After Father comes from the boat and has dinner, you can imagine how tired
he is. Father sits down and watches the news and one by one other members
retreat silently. Father finds himself alone after twelve o'clock. Then Father
says, "Okay, now I have to indemnify for those who left early,"
so Father goes upstairs, spending a couple of extra hours staying up before
he goes to bed. At 3:00 Father is up. Heaven cannot but be achieved through
that. There is no way heaven cannot be achieved. Father did that.
Americans like to rest, don't they? If you like that, what is your
chance of winning in the Olympics? Do you have a good chance if you love to
rest? You can't make a record by doing that. Who will set a record in the
Olympic stadium, those who take a rest or those who push themselves and work
and work?
When Father goes out to the boat, Father really gives everybody a big whack,
even Kamiyama. Reverend Kamiyama is already working hard but Father finds
strong words even for him. He cannot oppose Father because he knows Father
is working harder than he. But here, among America leaders. . . those people
who Father sent for Ph.D. degrees say, "I want only to get my degree,
I don't like Father's direction as a leader." They only like to hear
the "get a degree" part of Father's direction, they don't want
to hear anything else. If you maintain such an attitude for a long time,
you cannot help but go to the end of the line in the rank and file of the
Unification Church. They cannot stay on top, they have to go way down. That
is a natural conclusion. It's a truth that the person who works for the sake
of one goal steadfastly is the one who will remain as a leader. Not the one
who doesn't want to do that. That is the truthful way.
The whole of America thus far has gone against Father for various
reasons. Today, they all come down and kneel before him. They realize
something that they did was wrong, what Reverend Moon said was right all
along. They are coming to realize that. What did Father do to come to
this point? He didn't speak, he didn't complain, he just took action. What
Father needed was results. No one can take your result away from you. Great
results will make, not a victorious person, Father doesn't like that term,
but a victor. We must become absolute victors. A victorious person can go
in many different directions, but victors will go in only one direction no
matter how many directions there are.
The one who suffered the most on the ocean is Reverend Moon. That is the
conclusion. He did it to assure the survival of each family and for mankind
and their food supply, including the many more to come in the future. Father,
is humbly clothed, dark with a suntan and wind worn, and with an old hat. No
one thinks he is Reverend Moon himself. Everyone thinks Reverend Moon lives
a very plush life with luxury and all that. But Father has been doing this
work very proudly, year in and year out. Since Father goes to the boat
everyday early, the people around the pier ask our members, "Who is
he?" They thought Father was a foreman or someone who Reverend Moon
sent to supervise the activity of ocean business. Many times the members
tell Father, "They asked when Reverend Moon is coming." They didn't
see any helicopter coming, they didn't see any limousine coming to the pier,
so they are waiting and waiting saying, 'When is Reverend Moon coming?"
Then our members answer, "Oh, he is too busy to come." Never one
time did Father say, "I am Reverend Moon." People see him catching
so many fish, they certainly can't think he is Reverend Moon. Whether it be
tuna fishing or striped bass fishing or fishing for blackfish, they all trust
Father's boat now. They watch it and though they can't catch anything,
they see that Father's boat is catching lots of fish. They come around
closer and closer to Father's boat. Father yells out, "Go away!"
because they bother the anchor line. Father moves to a different area and
starts catching again, whereas they cannot catch anything.
Father developed a system in tuna fishing. In the tuna fishing profession
people know Reverend Moon's system. If Father concentrated on drawing, do you
think Father would become a champion in the painters' world? [Yes.] Father
says there is a good reason for that. Even though he hasn't painted so
much, look at Father's children. Invariably they are good. Not only good,
but they take first place prizes in national competitions. Jeung Jin Nim,
in her fourth year, won the top prize in her whole school. Hyung Jin Nim
too. He is going to a good school where eighty to ninety percent of the
graduates automatically go to Harvard. When Hyung Jin Nim was applying for
that school, which was recommended as a special preparatory school in Boston,
and we submitted all the personal data and that his brothers and sisters
all go to Harvard and Columbia, that school was impressed. They wondered,
"Is this a scholar's family?" Father has every aptitude.
Do you believe that Father can do anything? Father means in the professional
area, not just the common area. One time Father took Dr. Pak pheasant hunting
on Cheju Island. Dr. Pak specialized in the area of the M-1 rifle in the
military. He was an instructor; he taught all instructors about the M-1. As
far as the M-1 is concerned he is supposed to be the top. He and Father went
hunting. Father never studied about rifles or shotguns; in fact this was
the first time that he had shot one. Father shot twenty-seven in one day,
around seventy in three days, and Dr. Pak got only six or seven in one day.
Do you know how this happened? Father's concentration and reflexes are far,
far superior to Dr. Pak's. Father has never been to war. If Father were in
a war, lots of people would have been killed! [Laughter.]
When Heavenly Father picks out someone who does the gigantic work for
mankind, do you think he would choose a scholar who can do nothing besides
reading? No, He will choose a champion of all champions. Everything Father
has proclaimed from the podium has happened. If something didn't happen, at
some point Father later made it happen. It's true! We must understand now
that this is the foundation which Father created for the sake of the world
and for the sake of America. The last frontier for America, when they are
having difficulty with everything else, is to go to the ocean. When they
do, they will become successful because Father already made the foundation
there. Father disseminated and distributed all the boats which he built here to
South America and Europe. The foundation has already been spread. Father has
already established this as a fact. There is no question that one person,
Reverend Moon, spent more time on the ocean and made more dedication for
the ocean, more prayer and thinking and planning for the ocean than anyone
else. No one can top Father and he knows that. Of course we don't need
any explanation about Father's work on the land. Father worked for forty
years. Father survived the formidable, impossible situation of the North
Korean jail. The extreme cold, which no one can survive for even a few days,
Father survived for years.
Out of the l 20 holy grounds that cover the globe, how many are in the
United States? That proves something. Father already knew from the very
beginning that this would be the fighting ground. This is where Father has to
make it or break it, right here in America. That is for the future of mankind,
not for the personal level. Did Father win victory here or not? [Yes.] So
Father became a world wide and country level victor. You on the other hand
are expected to be victors in your own family, correct? In your family and
village. The only goal for you to follow in the future is to go back to
your hometown and throw a big feast, a big party. All you have to do is
lead them.
Father is now embracing all the important people on the land. And
Father will embrace all the major species of fish. That is all Father
needs to do. [Father writes on the board.] Do you see how close these
two words are? This is Father's original name. "Moon" means
"letters" or "literature", "scholar".
The character has an altar and God, and Adam and Eve, the four position
foundation. The word "father" is written this way. You see how
close it is to "Moon"? When you write it quickly in writing style,
it looks just like "Father". So people can't tell, "Is this
"Moon" or "Father"?" Just a slight change in the
letter makes the difference.
"Sun" is written like this, in two parts. Isn't it amazing
that this part means fish! One hundred percent that is what it means. There
is no way of interpreting it differently. The other side is sheep. Fish and
sheep together becomes "Sun"-brilliant, light, fresh, all these
meanings. Father is saying all these qualities need to be sacrificed on the
altar. So "Moon" is literature; that means truth. "Myung"
means bright How do you write that? Only with the sun and moon together. There
is only one way of writing sun. This is truly the interpretation of
Father's name. It has a minus and plus position. Sun and moon, which is
"Myung", Father's third name, is plus. And "Sun," which
represents all things, is minus. Together they form a minus to literature,
which is "Moon." Truth is plus. How balanced this name is! It is
very significant. If someone planned a name this way, it couldn't be better.
Moon represents the spirit side, mind side and the name Sun Myung represents
these flesh side. They balance not only the entire world, but the cosmos. His
name says that. It is all in his name. We already discover within Father all
the specifics of the unification which Father has been working on, including
the unification of the land and sea. The whole world came against him to
attack. The name "Moon" is literature. Because of the result Father
has made, they had to retreat. But everybody gave their best shot to crack him.
Everybody tried to destroy him. No matter how many so called top people there
are in Korea, there is no one in comparison to what Father, as an individual,
has accomplished on the world wide scale. So Father can expand quickly and
embrace everything other people did, too. And they know that. Father was
all alone, all by himself from the very beginning. Father was alone to find
out the secrets of human history and God. Father was alone to safeguard that
and so was persecuted all around the world. Father was all by himself to make
this happen and when Father accomplished this now, the sun is rising up.
The sun does not rise up from the East like many think; the sun rises
from the center. The sun comes up from this axis orbit. There is no dark
spot around the sun. Whether it is immediate or far away or angled, it shines
every place equally. Every place becomes light. Similarly, there is no area
the Divine Principle does not cover. It can explain everything in a natural
way. Such a precious Father and teaching. Even God himself wishes He could
be one of the men under who, under Father, can learn this fantastic truth
and give the solution to the most difficult world. "Such a fantastic
thing I would like to learn from him. Love too." Even God is thinking
this way towards our own Father.
Look at the facts. In New York, there is the New York City Symphony. Who is
the owner? Reverend Moon. Everyone knows Father fostered that project. In
Washington there is a ballet troupe in connection with the Kirov, a world
level ballet. Father is balancing these two in order to maintain the American
performance culture. The whole world will follow our path here. White people
are looking at that and they feel ashamed. They lost everything, but the one
whom they hoped would perish gained everything and is now actually occupying
the top of the performance world. Do you think that kind of person could
destroy America? Look at the history of America where there is such a long
history of education. Now they are trying to bail out. Universities are
being sold. What is Reverend Moon going to do with a university? Throw it
out as trash? No, Father wants to revive the university. Period For the sake
of the world, not for the sake of America That way America can be able to
live along with the rest of the world. All of us know Father can do that.
All he has to do is encourage the CARP members to go. We will fill up that
school's 5,000 or 6,000 seats, no problem. The school can become a first
rate profitable operation.
On the land, so-called scientific technology, economy and thought
exist. Already Father proved he is the king of thought. We know that,
the world knows that, even communists know that. In economy too, Father has
the only viable economic concept in the world. The individualistic economy
is no more. In the field of technology, hard technology, through computers
Father is on top of the future. In the ICUS, all the professors that Father
gathered together many years ago steadfastly went for the same goal. There we
find scientists, economists and men of thought. One of them raised a voice,
"The Nobel prize should go to Reverend Moon." Father does not
want it. "I will give the "Moon prize" to other people. I
won't receive a prize from someone else." Who is subject? Let's get
it straight.
What we need is "chun bit" It means preparation. We have to
perpetually, continually prepare ourselves for one day to come. Father made
preparation for the land. Father made preparation for the future of the
ocean. America cannot destroy the Unification Church . The marine authority
cannot take us away. But all Reverend Moon would have to say is, "We
stop today." That's all it takes. Who has more power, the country of
America or Father? [Father.]
When the Bush administration heard about the changes at the Washington
Times, they were worried that we might stop its publication. They don't want
us to stop. We have been spending seven million dollars every single month,
on direct and indirect expense for the Washington Times. How much of that
did you fundraise? Maybe two or three million at the most. And the American
government wanted to get Father for taxes due on the amount of seven thousand
dollars! Father didn't know anything about tax laws and didn't have any time
to care either. What Father did was his very best to recover this country.
Saving this country was the only crime he committed. Besides this seven
million Father spends on the Washington Times, how much more did he spend
elsewhere? Now we are ready to make this known to the world. Now America
had better compensate for the damage they have done. Father doesn't expect
the government to pay him back What they owe to Reverend Moon, Father is
encouraging them to pay back to the American Unification Church. If you are
going to be entitled to receive that compensation, you had better stand
on the same foundation as Father himself. Otherwise how can you qualify
yourself? If someone wants to give lots of benefit to you, but how many
people actually stand on the firm ground where Father can say, "He is
qualified"? How many among us are like that? That is the main point. One
has to pass at least a minimum test to reach this qualification.
Centering on the Unification Church, Father prepares for the land as well
as for the sea, completely. Recently the American government came up with a
set of laws about marine activities. Father already saw that the main points
included things Father has already arranged before them. In an overview,
they now have the world in mind first; until now, they didn't. Do you top
Unification Church leaders think that your Ph.D. is going to qualify you
to receive the streams of people coming in the future? No. A Ph.D. is not
that well respected, it's not that meaningful. It takes more than that. How
much will a Ph.D. title represent in the spirit world? Not anything, but you
say, "I have that title." Father has done all the preparation, the
question is whether the Unification Church and its own members have made any
preparation. That's the whole point. You haven't but you'd better start from
today. Starting today, prepare yourselves. Father had all the proper forms, all
the necessary fundamentals. We'd better stay very close to Father and follow
in Father's wake. Forty or fifty top leaders from Yemen's Muslim community,
including the Grand Mufti himself came for forty days training. They were
humble to Father and they came to understand their own religion much better,
and certainly they developed an understanding about Christianity. Now they
have hope, so they went beck. The Muslim world is the most simple world to
cope with thought-wise. Eventually, even though they understand the forty
days workshop, they just barely understand the basics. They cannot teach
it to others yet. So they are asking Reverend Moon, "Can you please
send us some teacher or leader who can educate our people?" Who should
Father send? Japanese members, Korean members or American members? What do
you think is Father's idea? [American members.] Now like Father predicted
many years ago, we are virtually getting into physically to the time where
you, appointed as representative by Father, go as an Ambassador to Yemen or
some other country. You talk to the Ambassadors in the American embassies
themselves and teach them like primary school students the very fundamentals
of what the future world will be like and how America should adjust. You
should teach them. Is the American embassy in a higher position or are you
in a higher position? You are. You represent the mind position. America
represents the body position. You are the center. You are high level.
If it is upside down it doesn't work. When Reverend Moon okays someone,
people will decide to trust his representative.
America doesn't believe in Father so much or Unification so much, just as
the Japanese may not, but Russia does. From a very objective point of view
they know we make much better sense than anyone else. Do you know that the
president himself invited the new editor-in-chief of the to a White House
luncheon? The same day the president of Germany asked him for a dinner
appointment. The Washington community was in an uproar. They were really
surprised. The luncheon didn't happen in a simple way with just a simple
phone call. It didn't happen like that. President Bush himself found out
there was a transition at the Washington Times. He was concerned about how
things were going. He found out that there was a new editor-in-chief so he
personally asked for him to come to lunch. That message was not received
by the new editor because he had departed for his home for a short leave.
He was on an airplane, so even though the White House and the Times tried
to get in touch with him, which eventually they did, he couldn't come right
back. It took three days to arrange. The president waited for the day and on
the third day the editor returned and they had lunch together. They met at the
editor's convenience, not the president's. This kind of thing is very rare
in the White House. Usually high ranking people stand in line for months or
even years to get an appointment with the president. But the president himself
wanted this appointment. What Washington and the president of Germany both
found out flabbergasted everyone, including the Washington Times members.
They thought, 'indeed we have grown big without even knowing it."
"Moonie" is no longer a disdained name. People will ask, "What's
wrong with Moonies? What's wrong with being a Unification Church member?"
We can express wonder. They understand there is nothing wrong. Today Father
invited all of them, including this new editor-in chief. Father thought it
was an appropriate time to give them an overview of the foundation on which
general direction they had better go for the sake of the whole. Now America
will have to prepare concretely not only to survive but to prosper into the
future. We have to prepare. It doesn't come automatically. Father prepared
his portion, now we have to prepare ours. Father prepared so much against the
event of a communist leader coming in. Through VOC, which was a main part
of our activity, Father prepared for this one day to come for ten, twenty,
thirty years, teaching that communism is wrong. Father has been teaching
this to all the world, even though communists seemed to be on the top of the
world. Now with that preparation he can deal with any leader of communism.
By the same token Christianity needs the same overhaul, the same thing.
Christianity in America alone will never amount to anything and they know
that as well as we do. We have to revive them.
Ron Godwin, Robert Grant and Donald Sills and Dr. Pak formed a
revival group. They all agreed. Last Friday, Father went to Washington and
persuaded them. Each one understood. They will lead the revival of American
Christianity. After that is problem number three, the fundamental solution for
deteriorating American families. As of the first of July, New York, Washington
and San Francisco are the trial cities. We will have a big revival meeting. The
main theme is, "We did not know about Reverend Moon correctly, therefore
we went against him with no reason. Now we repent and now all the churches
would like to receive Reverend Moon's teaching." That is the main theme
of the revival. We will ask them, "Have you read the book Inquisition,
where all the details of what really happened have been revealed?"
Yong Sun Moon, who is the eldest brother of Father's three cousins,
has been appointed as the responsible person for the east coast ocean
activity. Let us give him a warm welcome. The second elder Moon will go
to the south and the youngest of the three brothers will be assigned to
the west coat. It represents how things were developed in this country.
First people settled on the east coast and made a great foundation.
That was disseminated to the south and that's how the south and the north
came to fight each other at one time. Then from there America went west.
From there we will return to the east, back to the Eastern world. Let us give
them all a warm welcome. [Applause.] Father instructed them, "You hardly
have to do anything, I've done everything. You just stay on the boat from
day to night and be there." That is what Father told them and that is
what they are determined to do. And they will teach about Father. They will
talk about Father's own village, about how Father spent his boyhood and young
days. We need to know these relatives and about all these episodes before we
can actually return to our own homeland. They are in the perfect position
to teach us. You have to know the relatives surrounding the True Parents.
After that you can connect your own tribal messiah thought completely into
one. You will know for sure where true history is headed. In a way we can ask
many questions of them, more easily than we can to Father. Father made the
because it is directly linked to the survival and well being of America. That
is Father's portion of responsibility. From this time on, the next important
point is the revival of the Christian church. Father does not regard this as
his own responsibility. This is America's responsibility. To support that
Father created the Washington Times. So even if Father decides to stop the
he still would have fulfilled his own portion of responsibility more than
required. What if the same amount of money spent on the Washington Times
every month, seven million dollars, had been diverted for the sake of the
Soviet Union? How much the Soviet Union could benefit from that! In America
people do not realize the value of money because they always had plenty. In
the Soviet Union they really understand the value of money. We could achieve
much more there. Defending all the free world from communism, Father took
responsibility for many, many years. But from this time on, from reviving
your own church to reviving your own country and solving the family problems,
this is the members' and America's own responsibility. It is not Father's
direct responsibility. This is how Father regards this effort. There is
an incredible amount of wealth in this country, in agricultural goods, even
the ocean resources too. Father feels seventy five to eighty percent of the
total marine resources of the world are in the waters of the United States.
Seventy percent of that eighty percent are all in one area, Alaska. So Father
is thinking about going to Alaska because that is the main center.
When Father established Tong I1 industries, the machine factory, he started
out with one person and one lathe. They moved to a distant place but still
Father went there as many as three times a day. Each time Father went back
and forth he spent three hours on the trip. Father put a lot of heart into
that. What did Father do? He didn't work there as a machinist or anything
like that, but Father put all the heart there is into the effort. Today
it is a huge, gigantic company. Also, with Barrytown. There was hardly
a day Father didn't go there. Everyday Father went there. Went there and
what? Talked to the members. Did they understand? No, but Father still
talked. Father did this for three years making a foundation there.
[Father writes "preparation" on the board.] What if Father
didn't prepare the Washington Times? What if Father didn't activate the
theological seminary? What if Father didn't do many of the things which
he has in preparation? What would we be able to do today? There would be
no foundation and no preparation. Now, what we are asked to do, what we
are supposed to do, is duly inherit that. Is it easy? Yes it is, but it
is also very difficult for America. Why? For one reason only: you cannot
inherit anything horizontally. That is for sure. That is the best they
could think of. Vertical comes first, this is why it took so long. The
tradition of preparation is your duty, not Father's. The preparation for
America is up to you, it is not Father's responsibility. Now the question
is the same: are you prepared, are you qualified, to inherit this precious
inheritance? How about Dr. Spurgin? How about the staff members here? [Yes,
Father we're ready.] You are ready or you will be ready? [We are ready.] Have
you always been ready in America? [No, not always.] You'd better be serious
in answering this and very exact too. If you say "yes" it means
automatically you will be in the position to lead the ocean activity just
like Father has been leading it. Otherwise you are not ready. Father made
some ninety eight organizations. Have you ever been to each and every one
of them? Then you are ready. If you didn't do that, how can you say you are
ready? Actually Father cannot be happy, we haven't even actually shown enough
concern in what Father has been doing, let alone saying, "Yes, Father I
am ready. " From now on Father will never continue to give support or
aid to these business activities. Until 1992, those areas that do not turn
out a profit, become a burden. Father will just disband them. Whether Father
likes it or not, he has no choice. Father has to go back to Korea and stay
there. There is nobody in all of South Korea who can deal with North Korea
or Kim I1 Sung. No one. Father is needed.
Please realize that you are not prepared, but make haste and prepare
yourself very quickly. The Unification Church embraces not only land but the
ocean too. You already agreed with Father that you will buy boats, did you
not? [Yes.] You have to compete to receive boat number one. You send money
to Mr. Kamiyama and register, 'I will take the first one." You have to
make a deposit. We will let the world know, all the Unification Church members
will buy at least one boat and prepare and we'll have group training. Imagine
if you do this very well, buying a boat and becoming successful with the
boat, you can invite Father on the boat. Father will visit sometime. You
have to make complete preparation with your whole family. The wife should
be the driver. The husband has to arrange everything, all the fishing gear
and tackle. How wonderful! When I visit you we can go out to the ocean.
How about that? If I ride on that boat one time, after one century, how much
will that boat be worth? Think about that. It will be a hundred thousand
times more valuable. What number do you want to get, boat number one or two or
number one thousand? [Number one.] It sounds good, but it's not easy. It is
most difficult. After we finish here, you can run to the office of Kamiyama
and say, "I will pay the deposit." Whoever gets there the fastest can
make the down payment for boat number one. Will you do it or not? [Yes.]
You will buy a boat or not? [Yes.] You have to grow your children in a
good way. They are not yours. They are True Parents' children and heavenly
children. After they grow up they will be famous in every variety of ways. They
will be men who can do everything, going out to all four corners like Father.
They can go to the sea and immediately become fishermen. They can go to the
mountain or become a university scholar. Do you understand? Your children
are good. God will use them in the future. This is parents' most hopeful
point isn't it? You know well.
So we need preparation. Step one is to buy a boat. Next, inherit tribal
messiahship. When you go to land and visit your hometown, you will become
their first ancestor. They are like sheep, just waiting for you. You need
to occupy this position. This is restoration tradition, clear. Father has
everything, the professors' world, media world, summit club world. Father
can use high level people, no problem. Do you understand? In the future, your
generation will inherit this. This is the way to make prosperity. Otherwise
we will be going down. This is the natural conclusion. Do you understand? We
have to represent the authority of the Unification Church power. Those who
will never fail, but will for sure become that kind of a future leader in
the Unification Church, raise your hands. Wow! It's a beautiful sight.
