"Cutting Off Satan's Lineage,
Which Is the Origin of this Most Evil World"
Blood lineage is a matter of love. Centering on love, the good
history which God intended was reversed to become the evil
history we have witnessed. While growing in the physical world,
we need parental love. If the parental love is incomplete, we will
not grow to maturity. Restoration begins from true parental love,
and it is elevated by stages. As you are elevated, you build from
what you established before, for instance, from the family level
to the tribal level. The history of restoration has reached the
world level now.
If the fall had not happened, a true man and woman each
representing God would have stood at the center of each level.
Unfallen Adam's family would have been the center of every level
reaching the world. On each level, they would have been the
public center. In the family, parents. In the village, the mayor.
The center serves as the bridge through which the entire group
reaches the higher level. That's how we progress. As long as the
bridge figure exists, we can access every corner on every level,
because all people would have a flat, horizontal relationship, like
one family, with all people as brothers and sisters. Then we all
climb up together to higher levels.
As you are being elevated, you will pay indemnity on the
horizontal level, then advance more. In the fallen world,
however, there is no such formula. Thus there is no real progress,
no elevation. We are stalemated.
Restoring the Order of Love
The teaching here is that the individual sacrifice for the family,
the family for the tribe, and so on. The lower is the material with
which to build the higher. We can be proud of ourselves for
being the center of each level, because we are the material
building the higher level. Once we reach the world level, circular
motion begins. This motion includes myself.
Contrary to all this, the origin of the satanic world is the person
centering himself on his own selfish purpose. Such a person will
try to eliminate others. Each person, in their conscience, wants to
become the center of the world, and to create circular motion
centering on himself. But the bridge should be centered on true
love. To be that center, one invests and invests oneself on each
level. That means to sacrifice oneself for the higher level. The
concept of selfish individualism and the exaltation of privacy
have no place here.
The world has been built on selfishness, which has created war
and division. God, however, did not abandon this fallen world.
He sent a new Adam, to restore the true order. The world is
divided into left and right, battling each other. In order to unite
them, we need the original world ideology. Right and left always
oppose each other, but through Godism, centering on true love,
we see the light at the end of the tunnel. Godism offers a rope of
true love, a true love pillar. Through true love we can reverse the
left-right relationship.
The left represents the body, the right represents the mind. We
can reverse the body's domination of the mind. We make the
same reversal, by analogy, on each stage up to the world level, at
which point the proper relationship of spirit and material will
come about, and the evil world will be gone. The fallen history of
six thousand years has brought us to the point at which this is
possible. At this return to the original point, upon which the
human beings were supposed to reach the ideal, we follow God's
word, not Satan's, and, by living for others rather than ourselves,
cut off the satanic lineage. Then we can fill up the vacuum
created by the lack of people above that line, and this creates the
kingdom of heaven. Once we cut off the satanic lineage through
True Parents, we can fill this vacant area, bringing restored
people, all humanity who lost everything because of the fall.
That will complete the history of restoration through indemnity.
That is the clean-up job.
Between man and woman, there should be only "conjugalism," or
"husband-wife-ism," there is no room for individualism. Through
living for each other, you can become parents, and as such invest
yourselves 100% to build your family, tribe, and reach the world
and God. Beginning from the original point, you pass through
eight stages.
The Last Days
>From the returned lost Adam, the lost true family can be found.
God comes down to the individual level to find that lost Adam.
Centering on Adam as plus, Eve is created as minus. This was the
order of creation, and it is followed in recreation. How old is the
human race? [Various figures are suggested.] It is a pure guess.
The biblical record can be multiplied by 10, by 100, or by 1,000.
Human history could be as long as 30 million years. The Bible
says there have been three periods of 2,000 years, but you can
multiply that by 10, 100 or 1000. So let's say more than 20 million
years. How many generations is that? To restore the lost Adam,
God has taken this long.
It represents so much human effort. For all of history, men and
women worked hard, but they spun in one place, going nowhere,
and finally the spinning stopped and they died. We have lost so
many ancestors. Think of God's heart and how much pain He has
endured. All that sacrifice for no result. Therefore, all those
ancestors are anxiously waiting in the spirit world, waiting for
their descendants to fulfill their unfinished mission. And what a
lot of resentment their ancestors have toward Adam and Eve. The
ancestors' sacrifice brought no immediate result; it was just like
fertilizer, at best. What was it all for? It was to find the true Adam
and Eve. This is why religions emphasize the life of asceticism,
not just as a concept, but as reality.
After this lapse of time, the Lord of the Second Advent arrived as
True Parents to restore humankind to God. The world was full of
cursing and opposition, but he overcame it all and won the
victory. But the first point is that God won. Two thousand years
ago God found one champion and sent him, His only begotten
son, to the world. But Israel killed the one who came as its own
parents. The spiritual archangel, Lucifer, destroyed Adam; the
physical nation killed the second Adam. So humankind lost Adam
spiritually and physically. This is the only way to understand the
suffering of history. This suffering was necessary for us today to
reach the world level. There was a gap, and the suffering of
God's people filled it.
Suppose the world opposes the Lord of the Second Advent and
eliminates him. At the time of Adam, there was space to save
him, because he was the formation stage. But the Lord today
comes in the completion stage, so there is no room for
restoration, no more time in the growth stage. Everything will be
lost if we cannot bring humankind to God; humankind will have
nowhere to go. We can see the self-destructive trends. This is
reasonable. God chased Adam out of the Garden. The third
Adam came down and gave the truth to this world. The world
could have united centering on this truth. But the allied world
opposed the Lord of the Second Advent.
If there are mistakes from now, they cannot be restored; those
who commit mistakes are like wasted fruit. The time is as when
Jesus cursed the fig tree; it is a fearful time. Father and God
cannot intervene to save anyone. The law of indemnity applies
to everyone. Suffering inevitably comes to those who deny God's
obvious and common sense truth, written in the conscience. So it
is from great love that Father gives the Blessing, to save the fallen
descendants. We all are fallen descendants; there are no
exceptions. All receive the Blessing in order to be reborn. All
humanity can go through the ceremony of restoration. Then we
can grow up to spiritual maturity and enjoy the heavenly
kingdom.
Reborn to Unite Mind and Body
The first stage of new life is in the mother's womb; this means
rebirth through the Blessing. The second stage is our growth in
the physical world, and the third stage is heaven in the spirit
world. We are now in the mother's womb stage worldwide. The
infants receive the holy wine, as do the children. Ideally, we
receive it in the womb.
These are the last days. God cannot wait another 2,000 years. He
wants to bring restoration and purification around the world at
once. The fetus receives life through the mother. Also all the
family members participate. All are connected to the ceremony of
restoration. Then they all will enjoy eternal life.
>From now, Father is launching this new campaign. All people,
from the womb forward in age, drink the holy wine to be
restored. If it is not done, Satan can interfere with your family for
seven generations. The holy wine ceremony, therefore, is so
precious and fearful. It is the turning point dividing the paths to
heaven and to hell.
You are not reborn yet, because your mind and body are not
united. Our courses are zig-zag. But we now can find the center,
straighten out our path and create circular motion. The
centripetal and centrifugal forces, in balance, create circular
motion. The unity of mind and body defines a heavenly person.
Selfishness brings disunity of mind and body.
If blessed couples are not perfect, we need a repair shop in the
spirit world. What caret gold are you? 36? 18? Less than zero?
God is serious when He watches us, and so is Satan. The body
controls the mind, leading the person into the world of free sex.
The archangel has no partner, so people who follow that way
cannot enter into a true partnership. People who practice free
sex risk contracting AIDS. God's power is exercised spiritually
and physically.
Adam and Eve were to have been the eternal ancestors. But when
they fell, God chased them out instantly. Do you think God will
act differently today? The fallen world is heading in the direction
of destruction. When Father came here, he stepped on the brake
to slow down our careening toward self-destruction. But people
resisted his putting on the brake. So Father built his own
foundation. Now he can turn the world in the right direction
through the international, interreligious Blessing. Everything is
being united in the Blessing. If your family is not related to an
international blessing, you will be in the back. Don't you think
so? I'm not an international blessing, so I don't know.
Blessing and Restoration
Originally, true marriage was to have started in Adam's family.
But they fell as brother and sister. There resulted a disorder of
love, with adultery, incest, etc. But now God is bringing the
world out of hell.
After World War II, restoration could have happened in seven
years. Many billions have died since then. They are resentful
toward the Christians who rejected Father back then. We can
stop this war in the spirit world. We accomplished this by
restoring the physical world. Then Father can allow Blessings in
the spirit world. So the Blessing is the key to open the physical
world and spirit world. Also it is international, interracial and
interreligious in the spirit world. Thus, as Father has conducted
the Blessing in the physical world, he has also done so in the
spirit world. First he blessed his own immediate relatives. Then
he brought the Blessing to the Christian realm, centering on
Heung Jin Nim and Daemonim.
Christianity only had a spiritual foundation. To connect all
Unification Church members to this, we attended the workshops
at Chung Pyung Lake. Then the physical world and spirit world
will be equal, harmonized and united. To do that, we transcend
the realm of Satan's lineage and receive the Blessing.
Beyond the third Adam's course, there is no indemnity, and we
will be in the realm of the fourth Adam. All families are in the
condition of Adam's family in the Garden. Father will be able to
embrace and bless all families and bring them into the Garden by
the year 2000. Moses was eighty when he brought the Israelites
out of Egypt. We are on the world level now.
When Father blessed 124 couples, there were 120 nations in the
UN. The 430 couples blessing took place in the 4,300th year of
Korean history. It was the national level blessing. Father opened
the gates for Koreans to enter the Kingdom of God. Then they
had to prepare to open Korea to the world. The blessed couples
were the plus and the Korean people were the minus. Then the
43 couples blessing in Japan, Europe and America reached the
world level. They initiated the process for all the tribes of the
world to enter the kingdom.
Then the 777 couples blessing took place, involving 10 nations
representing all people. Then 1,800 couples, which is 3 X 6. Six
is the number in the growth period Satan claimed, and 18 years
old is the borderline between the teenage years and adulthood.
This is where free sex can begin. Satan acts from that time.
Man is in the archangel position. It is awkward for men to serve
women, opening the door for them, etc., but God trained the
archangelic man this way, so that we would be able to serve the
bride. He is to serve the queen of Adam. This began after World
War I. But women took advantage of this to sit back and boast.
That is okay only if you have a baby in your arms.
Laws reflect the ruling conscience of the society. So the modern
divorce laws send the children with the mother. If they sent the
children with the father and had no alimony clause, would so
many divorces take place? No. The status of bride is over when
you become a wife.
Male and Female
God created all things for Adam and Eve to use. He invested
every ounce of His energy. Adam was created as the pinnacle of
all things. Adam and Eve unite not through the noses connecting
together, but through the sexual organs connecting. When
people kiss, they have to move their noses out of the way. And
the man is always on top, except for playboys depicted by
Hollywood.
You cannot make love by yourself. Centering on love, man and
woman become one, and lineage is created. In Korea the saying
is that the first stage of a boy and girl in love is the eyes meeting,
then the mouths meeting. If the girl took the initiative, the boy
will be controlled by her. If he takes the initiative, she will follow
him. Who usually takes the kissing initiative in the modern
world? Woman.
Husbands like to touch their wife's hips, which are round and
soft. She feels happy when he rubs against her hips. In the
original world, the male is considered more attractive and
beautiful than the female. Consider the rooster, the peacock and
the turkey. The male attracts the female. Males sing and females
respond. They approach each other, and become quiet. Love is
the magnet that takes you to God. Convex and concave should
become one. If another force interferes at that moment, you will
throw your house against it. This is true among all races.
Anyone who can see only their own race is colorblind. In each
day, there are many colors--dawn, midday, etc. Cows don't care
about each other's colors. If we eat the same thing every meal,
we become tired of it. When opposites meet, there is
stimulation. Hot water poured into ice water creates noise and
steam. The vibration created by corresponding entities is greater
the more distance there is between them. Perfection comes
through the interplay of plus and minus.
They call Rev. Moon a playboy, believing he seduces women and
that this is why he has so many female followers. Father shares
deep teachings about true love of husband and wife. Do all
female Unification Church members fall in love with Father? If
you say yes, your husband may attack Father. This is why men
want to be rid of Father. The stronger the male persecution, the
stronger the female attachment. Therefore, Rev. Moon is called
the king of the playboys. It is ironic that we, who are teaching
absolute sex, are deemed worse than homosexuals.
But the time is different. In the past, the media was against me.
Now it is just the Washington Post. They added great excitement
to the Blessing. By studying us, however, they will eventually
realize that what we are doing is healthy.
Uniting Plus and Minus
I have been teaching directly about love for five years, but I still
have more content in storage. If you practice true love, people
will say, "Yankee don't go home!" You are happy now. But in
general, as a Unification member, are you happy? (Yes.) If you
had plenty of money, cars, airplanes, wouldn't you be happier?
(No.) To describe one aspect of the true husband-wife
relationship, you want to possess everything in order to give it to
your spouse. And you extend your love beyond your spouse to
your in-laws.
Rev. Moon wants to offer everything to God; all things follow me
because I am a true owner. A true owner is defined by constant
giving. Brazil has 160 million people, and Father wants to give
blessings to all of them. He doesn't count what he gives to others.
Heavenly fate supports this. One grows when one becomes a
minus to heaven. Heavenly fate protects your life. Heaven works
to balance the pair system, to harmonize partners. The one who
gives, therefore, becomes the minus which is filled by heaven.
You think you want to dress up and be in the best restaurant with
the most admired, beautiful or handsome member of the
opposite sex. But better than that is to be there with your
beloved. If you are even in the lowest place, and are tempted by
beautiful women, you will shake them off them for the sake of
your wife. All people respect this. Even fallen people will give
you a standing ovation. This humble person will receive the
standing ovation, and then, on stage, he will take off his shabby
coat to reveal a suit of gold.
Unification is best when it unites entities from far distances,
including east and west. [Father speaks on the eastern and
western ways of putting on one's coat and eating. Fingers and
knuckles. Printing text. Calling to others. Revealing oneself.]
Everything goes through a formula to reach true love. In the
Orient, silence is valued, silent meditation, because the universe
began in silence and tranquillity. God has been absolutely silent
for thousands of years, yet no one has noticed. To receive from
God, we should be more patient and quiet than He is.
A New Start
[On the problems created because the world has many
languages.] The quality of a language is based not on how well it
conveys science, technology, or economics, but on how well it
expresses love. True love emerges from the unification of God
and true parents. To learn true love teaching, we all will want to
learn Korean. To spread true love teachings, Father has
published 200 volumes.
Father has been teaching constantly for several days, and he had
long meetings yesterday. I didn't expect you to be here; I
expected to pray alone, because it takes time for you to get back
from the DC mobilization. But by the fact that you are here to
meet me, means we have a new start, and we have already won
the 360 million couples blessing victory.
Let us complete the 360 Million couples blessing by the end of
May, '98. That is six months away. We will celebrate it in three
locations. The entire world will be watching, and the world will
be eager to join in. The world will recognize the value of blessed
couples. At first we appeared before the world as beggars, but
now they see us to be loving and serving. The whole world will
respect, follow and resemble blessed couples. Thus we embrace
the world.
360 million couples equals 720 million adults. If we connect four
relatives on the wife's side and four more on the husband's side,
plus children, the total is three billion, which is over half the
world population. When we reach this level, we will build a
world tribe, world nation and true world.
Children are good at the Internet. They will learn about the
Blessing through the Internet. They will find their true love
spouse on the Internet. So, send the news of the 39.6 million
couples blessing out on the Internet. Everyone will know of it.
>From this perspective, we are happy the Washington Post stood
in opposition to the Blessing. Youth with clear thinking will see
the reality and follow the truth, rejecting the Washington Post.
They will demand that the Post print the truth. Thus the world
will change.
At that level, we can free the world so that all races together can
build the Kingdom of God on earth. It will center not on
democracy or communism but upon headwing ideology and
Godism. Even slow-witted intellectuals will begin to
comprehend.
Love Creators
We begin the new era. Rebirth by holy wine is the formation
stage. The growth stage is the restoration process. The
completion stage is eternal life. We connect to eternal life by
eternal love. There are three levels of blessing for Unification
Church members: church, nation and world. The world level is
the kingdom of heaven on earth. We can open the nation by
reaching the world level. These are parts of the growth stage,
which requires indemnity through eight stages. We progress by
investing and forgetting.
This center of investment for the sake of others can go over every
obstacle, everywhere. In that center, God and True Parents are
liberated, and we are forever free. In the near future, we do not
need any prayer. Instead of praying, read and study Father's
lifelong victorious record, which is recorded in Father's speeches.
That content is the plus axis. Follow Father's standard of love
with absolute faith, love and obedience. The universe was
created through absolute faith, love and obedience. Absolute
faith opens everything, every creature in the Pantenau.
The 360 million couples will clean up everything. Then
everything will be flat ("the valleys will rise up, and the high
places brought down"). The center point of this plane is God and
True Parents. This is meaning of the realm of the cosmic Sabbath
and parents of heaven and earth. God can come down to that
plane. He will bring the restored archangel and connect with
saints and sages in the spirit world, completing Adam's position.
This is the complete foundation for all the human race, centering
on your family.
Heavenly fate will come to children of filial piety, patriots, saints
and divine sons and daughters in that place. God will dwell in
our bodies, as will the entire angelic world. Billions of people will
come into our bodies. Our conscience should embrace them. Our
conscience will even go beyond God if there is something
greater we can grasp.
Even one of your forty billion cells is the seed for an unlimited
number of new cells. This is why our desire is unlimited. The
conscience does not want to be filled with money, but with
saints and sages who resemble God. Then it expands and
embraces all the saints and wants more, and they come to the
earth and embrace everyone here. You can say, I am a love
creator. You can love others everywhere. You will challenge God
to be a love creator greater than Him.
Tour of Spirit World
I will walk across the world and jump into the kingdom of
heaven. I will reach the "True Love Huge World Center." You
can cut off Satan's blood lineage day and night, wherever you
may be, by giving the Blessing. Fallen people stole everything
from God, and used this stolen property as thieves. So they
should return everything to God. The wealth was taken by Satan;
this means that everything will return through the True Parents.
True Parents bring a natural, prosperous and just structure to this
entire world. Absolute ownership comes through absolute love.
To whom does America belong? There is more to be done before
we can say that America belongs to God. God's world is a world
of absolute, unchanging love.
Establish the three generations of goodness in your family. Then
we can climb up the ladder and create one world under God.
This true family is the world in microcosm, in which all are equal.
Without this we will not be able to make any progress in spirit
world. If we achieve this, we can call our ancestors up to our
level in the spirit world.
When Father takes a tour of spirit world, where will we go? We
will face Father, but what if you are in chains and you cannot go
to Father? You may not be able to reach Father. You will be
ashamed that on earth you did not work with Father more
actively. Father will not be able to liberate you there; if he tried
to he would be violating his own teachings. Everyone else is in
heaven, but what if you are chained in hell? What will you do?
That's why we need this physical world. Life on earth is brief
compared with the spirit world.
Perhaps you would like to wear a coat made from diamonds. You
can do it in spirit world, and stand in it overlooking the kingdom
of heaven. You can travel with Father and God in spirit world. But
if you live as an aloof and selfish person, it will not come to pass.
This is not a lie. The added value necessary is true love.
The True Love Highway
All the universe is a highway, centering on love. Insects, flowers,
all entities have an electricity which connects when you put the
plug in the socket. It's natural, not inconvenient. Time and space
are no problem. If you want to travel a million miles, when your
mind goes there, you arrive. When you say something, it is
substantialized. You can visit a diamond moon, and live there a
thousand years if you like. But eventually you will return to your
husband, your wife, which is the most valuable love. You will
have a true love bed, true love floor, true love furniture, it is all
made of true love. This is the place of eternal excitement.
The most evil thing is Satan's lineage. It brings the separation of
mind and body, man and woman, parents and children. This
means we lost everything at the beginning. If we unite them, we
can welcome God and cross the boundary to the Kingdom of
Heaven. When everything is connected with ideal love, it can be
perfected.
The national messiahs are king of their land if they fulfill this
principle. They want to make a home for Father in each county.
You are different from me, but what is the same color is true love.
Everything belongs to true love.
Once we clean up Satan's blood lineage, this is how the new
world is born. When the time comes for us all to move there, are
you going to carry your satanic blood-stained body and
possessions? Become new! Your eyes, ears, nose, and all senses
will face heaven.
[We recite Pledge #5.] This means that everyday, we bring the
360 million couples blessing. We will make the round circle
smooth in a short time if we make a successful completion. So
don't be separated from True Parents. Drop the baggage you are
carrying from the satanic world. Just wear gym shoes. When you
arrive in the new world, everything is there for you, waiting.
There are no boundaries. You can have a big house, land, a
hundred cows.
Oneness with Nature
In North America, the Pilgrims came and divided everything, but
many parts of South America are untouched. The Amazon and
the Pantenau have many resources. There are 30 million species
of insects in the Pantenau, 1,500 species of birds and 3,300
species of fish. Father wants to preserve and protect them, not to
lose anything.
Different villages will be responsible for specific species of
insects. There will be more and more entomology Ph.D.'s. We
won't need a formal school. We will utilize the Internet, video
tapes, and so forth. Professors will guide the students' reading
and answer questions. Specialists will raise the insects, birds,
fish and animals, and all families will take care of them, feeling
the joy God felt at creation. Businessmen will remember that they
have to feed their insects and will jump on the next plane home.
There is no qualitative difference between loving an insect and
an elephant.
Your entire family will enjoy it. There will be swimming pools
and all kinds of recreation. Like they did to St. Francis, all the
creatures will come to you. You can train them to follow you, sit
on your shoulder, and so forth. Each family member will study a
different set of creatures, and you will exchange information.
You can set up automated feeding. Each family member will
have their favorites in their room. Towns will be named after the
type of creature they take care of, like "Birdtown."
God poured His love into insects. They are male and female.
Even bacteria is male and female. Do they have a sex organ? We
can see it through a strong microscope. Also we can see their
eyes, ears and nose and nerve system. They have something like
that, albeit on a lesser degree than higher creatures.
Study God's Word
One CD can contain 500 volumes of Father's words. You can
carry a library in your pocket. Father's talk today can be sent to
the world today, by Internet. This will surpass the interest people
have in politicians. The world and spirit world will be full of
Father's words. Even in bed you can hear Father's words. Father
knows the Internet. If it had a desire, what would it like to
transmit? True love, not cheap messages. Headquarters can
transmit a daily Principle exam to the world by Internet. The
computer also can grade the exams, checking for the presence of
the key words. The present-day school system will be outmoded.
This will be a project of the University Federation for World
Peace.
The University of Bridgeport is creating distance learning. Our
members' company repaired the Hubble telescope. Members are
developing cutting-edge media. The Washington Times was the
first newspaper to set up a web site. Father predicted these
things years ago, and no one believed him.
At 6 am everyday, have a "Gathering for Teaching and
Reading"(Hoon Doh Quai) at your home. There will be tests in
the future, centering on the Completed Testament Age
teachings. Those who pass will be qualified to travel around the
world and teach families.
Instead of Father, you do the 360 million couples blessing.
[Everyone responded: "I will do it. I have complete confidence."
Rev. Peter Kim gave the closing prayer.]
