SPEAKS ON
IN SEARCH OF THE
ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE

Farewell Banquet

Translator -- Peter Kim
istinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen.
With the end of the Cold War, new hope for peace and justice has spread
rapidly across the globe. Leaders unable or unwilling to acknowledge the
new international realities are being swept away by the tidal wave of change.
As we stand at the threshold of the new millennium, I believe it is time
to review our traditional patterns of thinking and boldly seize these new
opportunities. Thus it is my great honor to share with you my life-long
advocacy for world peace and true family values.
In this world there are two kinds of human beings: men and women. Can
they decide to exchange positions? Was your birth as male or female based
upon your personal desire? Or were you born that way irrespective of your
personal preference? The sex that we are given is an absolute and is not
a matter of choice. We did not think it nor did we want it, but without
knowing the cause, result, or process of our birth, we were born a certain way.
Thus it is undeniable that no matter how great a person may be, he or
she is not a causal being, but is a resultant being. Therefore, there must
exist the first causal being. Who is that causal being? Is it male? Is it
female? You can call that first causal being God or any other name, but this
causal being must exist.
Here today are gathered some of the most famous people in the world.
You might say, "Where is God? Show me and then I will believe." But I warn
you not to deny the existence of that causal being.
The topic of today's speech is "In Search of the Origin of the Universe." If
we go deeper and deeper in our search for the origin of the universe, we
arrive at God. We come to know that God possesses dual characteristics of
male and female. How did the universe begin? Let us put aside our discussion
of God for the moment, and consider humankind. It is clear that humankind is
comprised of man and woman, or subject and object. In the mineral kingdom,
molecules are composed of anion and cation. Plants reproduce through stamen
and pistil. Animals live as male and female, and human beings as man and
woman. If we examine creation, whether the mineral kingdom, plant kingdom,
or animal kingdom, we observe that plus and minus on a higher level exists
and develops by absorbing plus and minus from the lower level. Why does this
phenomenon take place? It is because the existing world is responsible to
perfect human beings, who are Lords of all creation. In the mineral kingdom,
plus and minus, that is, subject and object, unite centering on the ideal
of love and thus exist. In the same way, in the plant kingdom, stamen and
pistil, that is, subject and object, unite centering on love and thus also
exist. Medical science today points out that even bacteria exist as plus
and minus.
How do subject and object, or plus and minus unite? By kissing? Love
is not a concept but a substantial reality. What is the reality upon which
love can settle? President Ford, President Bush, who attended the Inaugural
World Convention of the Family Federation for World Peace, and all of you
distinguished guests are famous but there is something that you do not
know. You do not know what makes man man, and woman woman. The answer is:
the sexual organs. Is there anyone here who dislikes the sexual organs? If
you like them, how much do you like them? Until now you may not have thought
it virtuous to value the sexual organs, but from now you must value them.
What will the world be like in the future? If it is a world which values
the sexual organs absolutely, will that world be good or bad? Will it
prosper or perish? This is not a joke. When God was creating human beings,
into which part did He invest the greatest creative effort? The eyes? The
nose? The heart? The brain? All of these organs eventually die, do they not?
What is the purpose of the Family Federation for World Peace? If humanity
were to go beyond the traditional categories of virtue, religion and any
other human norms, but were absolutely in harmony with the sexual organs,
earning the welcoming applause of God, what kind of world would it be?
When we are born as a man or woman, who is the owner of our sexual organ?
Actually the owner of a husband's sexual organ is his wife, and the owner of
a wife's sexual organ is her husband. We did not know that the sexual organ
is owned by the opposite sex. This is a simple truth. We cannot deny this
truth. Even after history progresses for thousands of years, this truth will
not change.
Every man thinks his sexual organ belongs to himself, and each woman
thinks her sexual organ is her own. That is why the world is perishing.
Everyone is mistaken concerning ownership of the sexual organs. We all think
that love is absolute, eternal, and dream-like, but when we come to clearly
understand that the ownership of eternal love lies with the opposite sex,
the world will not remain in its present condition. There are numerous
scholars and Ph.D.s, but none of them have thought about this.
Can any of you deny this? If you ask your parents, your grandparents, your
great-grandparents, the original ancestors, and even God who is the origin
of the universe, they all will agree with this. This is a universal law.
This truth will remain even after the universe continues to exist for billions
of years. The natural conclusion is that when you stand before God, He will
judge you as righteous or unrighteous according to this immutable law.
Even the fall of Adam and Eve originated in the violation of this law.
Adam and Eve both erred by thinking their sexual organ was their own
possession. Think about it. Would God chase Adam and Eve away because they
ate a literal fruit? God is not such a senseless being. God chased them out
because they did not meet the most basic criterion by which the universe
functions. Because of their mistake with the original point of love, they
could not be acknowledged anywhere in the universe. In the mineral kingdom,
plant kingdom and animal kingdom, the positivity and negativity, that is,
the sexual organ, is reserved for the sake of the complimentary partner of
love. Adam and Eve did not know this.
Then why do the sexual organs exist? For love. Male and female exist in
order to find love. What are characteristics of God? God is absolute, unique,
eternal and unchanging. Then who is owner of love? The owner of love is not
man or woman. The owner of love is God. Centering on love and through love,
God and humankind become one. This is because both God and human beings
absolutely need love.
Then, what kind of love does God need? God needs absolute love. What about
you? It is the same for you and for me. Just as God needs absolute, unique,
unchanging and eternal love, we also need absolute, unique, unchanging and
eternal love. It seems that we all resemble God.
God himself has characteristics of masculinity and femininity, or positivity
and negativity. Human beings, who were created as the substantial object of
God, were created as man and woman. When man and woman marry, they become
substantial plus and minus representing God. It is God's will that when we
marry, we completely unite horizontally centering on God's vertical love.
The human body is horizontal, representing the earth. On the other hand,
the conscience always loves the vertical and seeks the higher perspective.
Thus human beings irresistibly seek the point at which they become one
with the vertical standard of God. That point must be the center, and man
and woman must meet each other at that point. Thus when every person,
who is born from that center, grows up through experiencing the love
of a child, the love among brothers and sisters, and conjugal love, the
mature body represents the earth, and the mature mind centers on God. At
this ultimate point, body and mind become one vertically and horizontally,
thus establishing a base for happiness. Only at that place will God, who
is the Absolute Being, rejoice centering on absolute love. In that place,
husband and wife, who are love partners, also will rejoice.
When the relationships of parent and child, husband and wife, and brother
and sister, which represent respectively north and south, east and west,
and front and back, unite perfectly centering on that one point, an ideal,
global shape is created.
Thus in the East, there is a saying that parents and children form
one body. Further, they see husband and wife, and brother and sister,
forming one body. What is the basis for that traditional wisdom? It all
is made possible when the three relationships form a sphere, extending
in all directions centering on true love. Those relationships must form
a sphere with one center. There should be only one center. Unification is
possible because those relationships in reality have the same center. The
relationship between God and human beings is a parent-child relationship.
Thus, God and man must become one, centering on true love.
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, how lofty is human desire? Your
mind wants to reach higher than God. No matter how lowly a person is,
he or she can desire a world even greater than that of God's desire. As a
beloved son or daughter of God, if you say to God, "Father, please come!",
won't He come? No matter how ugly a man's wife is, if he really loves her,
he naturally will follow her when she calls. With unity centering on true
love, the husband will respond to his wife's beckoning, the elder will
follow the younger's call, and the younger will follow the elder's call.
None of them will ever want to separate from the other.
If God is alone, does He feel lonely or not? How can we know that He
feels lonely? Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, do you have love? Do you
have life? Do you have sperm and eggs? Do you have a conscience? You affirm
all these things, but have you seen love? Have you seen life? Have you seen
lineage? Have you seen the conscience? Have you ever touched these things?
You know their existence, but you cannot touch or see them. You know them
only through your mind's intuition. By the same token, even though you have
not seen or touched God, you cannot say that He does not exist. What is
more important, that which is visible or that which is invisible? I am sure
you realize that the invisible is more important than the visible. You can
see and touch money, position and honor, but you cannot see or touch love,
life, lineage and conscience. We all have them, so why can we not see them?
It is because they are one with us. When mind and body maintain absolute
balance, you do not feel them.
Do you feel your eyes blinking? Try counting your blinks for three hours.
Do you count the number of breaths you take everyday? Touch the left side of
your chest with your right hand. Do you feel something beating? You can feel
the beating of your heart. How many times a day do you hear the sound of your
heart beating? Through a stethoscope your heartbeat sounds like the explosion
of a bomb. But when we are busy, we go for weeks and months without feeling
that. Think about it! We immediately feel a small fly sitting on our head,
but cannot feel our heart beating even when the sound of it is a hundred times
greater than the lighting of a fly. It is because we are one with our own body.
You may think it rude if I share this with you, but I would like to
give you an example. You use the bathroom each morning. When you defecate,
do you wear a gas mask? This is not a laughing matter but a serious one. If
you are near someone else defecating, you will quickly move a good distance
away. But when you smell your own feces, you do not even notice it. This is
because that fecal matter is one with your body. Therefore, you do not feel
that it is dirty.
When you were young, did you ever taste the dried mucus from your nose?
Does it taste sweet or salty? It's salty, right? Since you can answer, you
must have tasted it! Why did you not feel that it was dirty? It is because
it was part of your body. Reverend Moon has figured out something that no
one in the world knew.
When you cough up phlegm, you sometimes swallow it, right? What about you
who are here today? Have you ever had that experience? Be honest. Why do you
not feel it is dirty? Because the phlegm was one with your body. We all eat
three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you go about twelve inches
down from your mouth, there is a fertilizer factory. By eating three meals a
day, we are providing raw materials for fertilizer factories. After knowing
that, can you still take food into your mouth with a fork and spoon? We
know that there is a fertilizer factory in our stomach, but we live on
without feeling its presence. Why do we not feel it? It is because we are
one with it. In the same way, we have love, life, lineage and conscience,
but because they are one with us in balance, we do not feel them.
Just like us, God has love, life, lineage and conscience, but He cannot
feel them by Himself. Because they are completely in balance, God cannot
feel them. That is why God also needs an object partner. We understand the
necessity of an object partner from this perspective. When one is alone, one
cannot feel oneself. But when a man appears to a woman and a woman appears
to a man, the stimulation of love and lineage will erupt like lightning and
thunder. You must be fully awakened about this. We have lived without knowing
this truth. Man has not understood that God absolutely needs His love partner.
Then who is God's love partner? Is it a monkey? If human beings are
resultant, can monkeys be the being that caused us? Can monkeys be our
progenitors? Don't even talk such nonsense. In order for life to have
begun from an amoeba and reach the human form, it must pass through the
gates of love on thousands of levels. Does life progress automatically?
Absolutely not. It is the same with all animals. The division of species is
very strict. Nobody can trespass the separation of species.
If materialists who believe that monkeys are our ancestors crossbreed a
human being and a monkey, do you think a new life form will emerge? It will
fail no matter how many thousands of years they attempt it. Why will it not
work? You must think about this.
Then what would God need? What part of your body would God need most?
Your eyes? Hands? Your five senses? Within Him, God has both masculinity
and femininity, but to exist as Father, His being is that of a male subject.
With this in mind, would we say that God needs a love partner?
Then who or what within His creation could be His love partner? Is it man
by himself? Or can woman by herself become God's love partner? What kind of
partner does God want? Does God need a partner with great wealth? Does He
need a partner of knowledge, or one of great authority? No, none of these
things matter. God wants a love partner. Thus, centering on the place where
husband and wife become one through their sexual organs, God wants to appear
and meet us.
Why is that the place where man and woman become one centering on God?
It is because love is absolute, and that place is where man and woman
have the absolute desire to become one. Looking horizontally, man, who is
plus, approaches that center, and woman, who is minus, also approaches
that center. In God also, the masculine characteristic and the feminine
characteristic become one as plus and minus. That union in God, as a bigger
plus, becomes one with a bigger minus, namely, the union of man and woman.
The question turns to the conditions by which that union can come about.
What is marriage? Why is marriage important? Marriage is important because
it is the road to finding love. It is the road to creating life. It is the
road where the life of a man and a woman unite into one. It is the place
where a man's lineage combines with a woman's lineage. History emerges through
marriage, and from marriage nations appear and an ideal world begins. Without
marriage there is no meaning to the existence of individuals, nations, and
an ideal world. This is the formula. Man and woman must become absolutely
one. Parents and children must become absolutely one with God, love God,
and live and die with God. And when they die and go to the spirit world,
that is the place called Heaven. But there has been no individual, family
or nation which has fulfilled that ideal; the world and humankind have not
established that ideal, and for that reason the kingdom of Heaven that God
desires is empty. All people who died until now fell into Hell. No one
entered the Kingdom of Heaven.
From this perspective, we can see that Jesus came as Savior of humankind but
could not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. He instead went to Paradise. In order
to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus would have had to form a family. That
is why Jesus wants to come again. Jesus was to marry, form a family, serve
and live with God in that family, and then enter the Kingdom of Heaven with
that family. He could not enter the Kingdom of Heaven by himself alone. Thus
it is said in the Bible, "What is bound on earth is bound in Heaven, and
what is loosed on earth is loosed in Heaven." We must solve the problems on
earth. Since the disease was contracted on earth, it must be cured on earth.
Humankind descended from the fall. Therefore we dwell in the realm of the
fall and cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven without making a foundation to
rise above that realm. Man in the realm of the fall must destroy that realm
no matter how difficult it is. Thus Jesus said, "Whoever seeks his life will
lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." In order to
traverse this road of death, we must penetrate it and rise above by risking
our entire lives.
Your families are in the realm of the fall. Your tribes and nations are the
same. You must struggle and win. The fall occurred in Adam's family. Did
Adam and Eve have children before or after they were chased out of the
Garden? They had children after they were chased out; they created their
family without any relationship to God. How can you go to the Kingdom of
Heaven without knowing this? It is not conceivable; you cannot achieve the
perfect ideal through ignorance. This is my warning to you.
Pray to find out whether Reverend Moon's words are true. No one knows how
much hardship I endured in order to find this path. Even though I committed
no crime, I suffered through six different prisons to find this path.
Through this truth, I am able to straighten out and educate precious young
people in the matter of an hour. Some people say that I am brainwashing
youth, but in fact I am enlightening them with logical truth. Atheists have
been silenced since they failed to prove scientifically and logically that
God does not exist. On the other side, Christians entrap us, crying heresy
because our doctrines differ, and they try to destroy us. But in this case,
this so-called heretical cult is on the side of truth.
Satan hates whatever is on God's side, and God hates whatever is on
Satan's side. Has anyone in the world liked Reverend Moon? You came here
only on the basis of learning what Reverend Moon is doing. You did not come
without knowing that.
Youth in the former Soviet Union, living in an ideological vacuum, are
equipping themselves intellectually with a unification perspective through
comprehensive ethics texts in middle schools, high schools, universities
and even in prisons. Three thousand six hundred schools in the former Soviet
Union are using such texts. They believe that my teachings provide the only
way to overcome the corrupting influence of the decadent Western culture of
homosexuality and free sex. They are proclaiming, "We must surpass America,
which opposes Reverend Moon!" They want to move ahead of America in attending
Reverend Moon.
Ladies and Gentlemen, do you like God? Would God enjoy watching Reverend
Moon doing these works? Can the teaching of the Vatican harmonize with the
teaching of Reverend Schuller, who also attended the Inaugural Convention
of the Family Federation for World Peace? Their teachings are different.
Then ask God whose teaching is true. What is the benefit of my telling you
that your understanding of Jesus and Mother Mary is wrong? But you must
understand one fact very clearly: Without being loosed on earth, it will
not be loosed in Heaven. Reverend Moon, who knew this at an early age,
has devoted his life to walking this path.
Should Jesus have married? Jesus should have married. Is Jesus a woman or a
man? If there is a woman saint, would Jesus not desire to marry her? During the
creation of Adam and Eve, God granted them their own sexual organs. Why would
He have done that? Would God have married them when they reached maturity,
or not?
The problem lies in their fall. Due to the fall, their blood lineage
switched from God to Satan. Therefore, God chased them out of the Garden of
Eden. Originally, Adam and Eve were to have become God's body, in the position
of God's bride. The fall, in a sense, introduced a disease into God's body
and ideal, as Adam and Eve acted like God's enemies. Can you imagine how
much God's Heart suffered as He watched this taking place? The human fall
is the grave in which you bury yourself. It was an act of expropriation. It
was the root of free sex as well as the origin of individualism.
What kind of nation is America today? It has become a nation of extreme
individualism, a nation whose people are pursuing private interests,
over-indulging themselves, gluttonous, practicing free sex. Does God favor
these things? What is the goal of such extreme individualists? They abandon
Heaven and Earth, the world, the nation, society, their extended family and
even their grandparents. Beyond that, they lose their parents and brothers
and sisters. Therefore they live as gypsies and wander around as hippies,
having no place to go when it rains and snows. So they are driven to end
their lives by suicide. That is the result of individualism.
The original mind does not want to protect this extreme individualism and
ridiculous exaltation of privacy. The original mind wants to live receiving
love from the universe, the nation, our village and our parents. But because
people walk the opposite path, their consciences become dysfunctional and
they feel a contradiction with their own original mind. Thus more and more
people would rather die than live, and commit virtual suicide by taking drugs.
We are witnessing the truth, "You will reap what you have sown," being proven.
What seed did Adam and Eve plant in the Garden of Eden? It was the seed
of free sex. Can that be denied? That is the reason they covered their lower
parts. Is it not true that even children know they must cover up, for example,
after having eaten the cookies hidden by their parents. This is a function
of human nature. If the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
were a literal fruit, then Adam and Eve should have covered their mouths or
their hands. So, why did they hide their lower parts?
Reverend Moon is an intelligent man. I am not doing what I am doing
because I am inferior to you. It cannot be denied that the fall was caused
by fornication. To restore the fall of Adam and Eve, it is very logical to
say that we must take a path 180 degrees different from that of the fall.
We inherited a lineage on the path to Hell, due to the fall. That is why
the Messiah must come.
The Messiah comes as the owner who should form the family in the Garden
of Eden as originally intended by God. We must understand this clearly.
It must be logical. The Messiah first should create a family which serves God.
Through this family, he should establish a nation. Therefore, the family
is the key. Centering on the Messiah's family, there should be an engrafting
process. The problem is, "who can save me from this world of death?" That is
why the opposite path is taken.
Look at the Old Testament era. The indemnification took place centering on
the principle of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Look at Rebekah, the
wife of Isaac. Isn't she the one who stole the blessing for Jacob by cheating
her elder son, Esau, and her own husband, Isaac? Why would God love such a
woman? How can we have faith in such a God? No one until now has answered
these questions. Reverend Moon is the first person to provide the answers,
because Reverend Moon is the only one who knows all the secrets of God.
Now, let us discover the dividing line between Heaven and Hell. Is it up
in the air? Where is it? It is your sexual organ. This is a serious matter.
This has turned Heaven and Earth upside down. Who can deny this? This is
explained in the chapter on the human fall in the Divine Principle, the
teaching of Reverend Moon. If you doubt this, ask God. You cannot reject
Reverend Moon's Divine Principle, which contains content beyond your wildest
dreams presented through logical explanations and in a well-ordered structure.
If you wonder whether Reverend Moon will go to Heaven or Hell, please
die and go to spirit world. There you will find out. If you feel upset by
my talk tonight, you could go ahead and commit suicide, and you will really
find out. You have to realize that Reverend Moon overcame death hundreds of
times in order to find this path. Reverend Moon is the person who brought
God to tears hundreds of times. No one in history has loved God more than
the Reverend Moon has. That is why even if the world tries to destroy me,
the Reverend Moon will never perish. It is because God protects me. If you
step into the realm of the truth Reverend Moon teaches, you also will gain
God's protection.
When a sexual organ is used in the same way a blind person wanders
aimlessly and without direction, it will undoubtedly lead you as its owner
to Hell. By the same token, one will be led high up into Heaven when he or
she uses the sexual organ according to the standard of God's absolute love.
This is a clear conclusion.
Today, we face a serious youth problem, because in the Garden of Eden Adam
and Eve planted the seed of free sex in the shade through their fall during
their youth. In the Last Days, harvest time, there must be the worldwide
phenomenon of rampant free sex among the youth.
Satan knew that the Lord of the Second Advent would come in the Last Days
with the strategy to save humankind, who are in the realm of the fall, by
lifting them up to the realm of absolute love, centered on God's true love.
Satan cannot find any other standard of love other than free sex, as the
archangel introduced in the Garden of Eden. Therefore, we see that the
entire world is stripped naked and being pushed in the direction of death
by free sex. All humanity is being forced to walk this path in the Last
Days as the archangel's descendants. Because today's humankind descended
from Adam and Eve, who fell under Satan's dominion in the Garden of Eden,
Satan can boldly claim in front of God that he has a right to do whatever
he will with all men and women in this world.
God knows what Satan wants. Through free sex, Satan wants to stop every
last person from returning to God. In other words, Satan wants to destroy
all humanity and create Hell on Earth. Is not the world in which we live
today Hell on Earth? Therefore, we will find the road to Heaven by going
180 degrees opposite the direction of this Hell on Earth. When the Lord
of the Second Advent comes, he will show us the 180 degrees opposite path,
as a means to save the world and lead us to Heaven.
Then what is the road that is 180 degrees opposite the way of free sex?
The path of free sex was laid because of the false parents. Therefore, True
Parents have to come to straighten the wrong path. God cannot intervene. No
authority nor any military, economic or political powers can do it. It was
caused by false parents. Therefore, it takes True Parents to cut it open
with a scalpel. True Parents should operate with their scalpel; that is the
only way humanity can be saved.
The one who sinned has to indemnify the sin. It was in the family that a
false marriage took place which corrupted the lineage 180 degrees. Therefore,
True Parents must come and bestow marriage that is in a direction 180 degrees
opposite, in order to open the path to Heaven.
Then, what did God expect from Adam and Eve? God expected absolute sex from
them. You world leaders gathered here tonight, please learn this truth and take
it back to your countries. If you start a campaign to secure absolute sex in
your country, your families and your nation will go straight to Heaven. When
there is absolute sex, an absolute couple will emerge automatically. Words
such as free sex, homosexual and lesbian will naturally disappear.
Reverend Moon has lived an entire life overcoming a suffering path in
order to initiate this kind of movement worldwide. Now the time has come for
Reverend Moon to trumpet the fanfare of victory and move the entire world.
Therefore, I am grateful to God.
The family sets the cornerstone on the road to world peace. The family
also can destroy that road. It was Adam's family in which the destruction of
the foundation of human hope and happiness took place. Therefore, when we
establish the Family Federation for World Peace, the road going 180 degrees
opposite the direction of the satanic world will be open, and for this we
cannot help but give thanks to God. Without following this road, there is
no freedom, happiness or ideal!
I wish that you would center on the absolute sexual organ, unique sexual
organ, unchanging sexual organ and eternal sexual organ, and use this as your
foundation to pursue God. You should realize that this foundation should become
the foundation of love, life, lineage and conscience. We also have to realize
that the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven will begin on this foundation.
If all men and women admit that their sexual organ belongs to their
spouse, we all will bow our heads and become humble when we receive our
spouse's love. Love comes to you only from your partner. There is no love
other than love for the sake of others. We must remember that we can find
absolute love where we absolutely live for the sake of others. When you
return home, you should expect to wage a war against the satanic world.
Wherever you may go, please try to spread Reverend Moon's message
through television or other media. You will never perish. What force can
turn around this world of Hell? It is impossible to achieve this unless our
sexual organ is used in accordance with an absolute, unique, unchanging and
eternal standard centering on God's true love which is absolute, unique,
unchanging and eternal love. God is the original owner of the sexual organs.
Let us go forward all together for this common cause. Let us become the
vanguard which will carry out God's true love. This is the very mission of
the Family Federation for World Peace. Now, please go back to your homes
and affirm with your spouses that your sexual organs are absolute, unique,
unchanging and eternal. Proclaim that yours is truly your spouse's and what
your spouse has protected so well until now is truly yours. And please pledge
that you will live your life with gratitude and in eternal service to your
spouse. In such families, God will dwell eternally and, centering upon them,
the world-level family will begin to multiply. I sincerely hope that each
of you will participate in the next marriage blessing of three million six
hundred thousand couples. By doing so you will form a true family that can
register in the Kingdom of God on earth.
Thank you very much.
Amen.
