What would you like me
to talk about today? Many suggestions came in: Father
son relationships, talk about Mother's speaking tour,
Father in Kodiak, Hyun Jin Nim's testimony and learning
at the limits of endurance.
The Human Condition
All your questions
deal with the human condition. Animals do not ask these
kind of questions. They have no idea of what's going on.
Why did you come here today? What am I getting at? You
are all human beings and all the questions you have
asked are related to your being.
Every discipline of
life is trying to understand the human condition.
Whether it's economics, science, culture, religion or
economics, all are seeking for answers about the human
condition.
Why do economics work?
Because people have a self-interest to become rich. But
can you take your money to the Spirit World? We are
seeking higher goals. We have an original mind and we
strive for truth and knowledge of God.
A Landmark Year
This year, 1992 is a
landmark year, a year of reaping the harvest. The sons
and daughters of the True Parents must be responsible to
reap that harvest. After the Olympics in Barcelona I had
a chance to visit many European Churches. I was so
amazed of what I saw. Father has laid an incredible
foundation everywhere. God created man a conscious,
creative being. Why? God created everything in subject
and object relationships and man was to be the object of
God's love, life and lineage. Man is the temple of God
and nothing in the creation compares to man. Man seeks a
vertical relationship with God. The potential of the
Kingdom of God is in us but it was not established. Why?
The Fall of Man caused
man's ignorance about God and himself. Now we must make
a conscious effort to return to God. God has given us a
free will and by our free will we must find God and
unite with Him. Our conscience is the force that
motivates the will and the will moves our body. A
perfect man is moved by God' will alone. We are not a
Christian movement, they believe that just having faith
in Jesus is enough to get to the Kingdom. The Divine
Principle instills action in man's life. And we must
have absolute faith in the DP and True Parents. Adam and
Eve did not have faith in God.
How can humanity be
raised up to a higher level? Unless there is new and
higher input it can not take place. Spirit World
inspires people to a higher way of thinking. Our
intellect connects to the spiritual sense.
When I look at you I
see many different people from all over the world
including all races. I also see many different levels of
faith and standards of life. In the ideal family there
is only one standard. Your conscience should always lead
you in the right direction. I came here to unite your
conscience with the True Parents.
You can not compromise
the Divine Principle and True Parents standard. You
sometimes do things that are directly against the Will
of God and still you say that you are the son or
daughter of God.
Ignorance Is No Excuse
You can not find
freedom and happiness in this fallen world no matter
what you try. Only God can give you stability through
absolute attendance, sacrifice and devotion. Since you
met True Parents have you made a radical change in your
life? Only you can be the judge of that but you can no
longer make excuses and claim ignorance.
You must absolutely
get your priorities right. This is a critical and
momentous year. We must truly unite with True Parents.
Jesus could not find anyone to unite with him. John the
Baptist was the greatest failure. In 1985 the foundation
of restoration was fulfilled and now in 1992, seven
years later, everything has been fulfilled.
Now that everything
has been fulfilled, what are you going to do? Are you
going to go the way of John the Baptist? You are
definitely involved in this providence. What is the
meaning of Tribal Messiah ship and the Blessing? You
must have a deep understanding of this.
God has never been
able to rejoice about the birth of any of the children
that were born after the fall. He could only grieve,
knowing the difficulties the children would have growing
up in satan's world. Heavenly Father poured out his
heart to bring His children out of the realm of satan.
Your Blessing is now
the greatest testimony of True Parents' and God's
victory. Now finally He can claim your children.
However, this is not the end. What does it mean to have
blessed children and raise a family? You are the
building blocks of restoration and the builders of the
Kingdom of God. However, the Kingdom must pass through
the proper tradition.
Adam and Eve fell even
though they were born without original sin. What about
your children? You must raise them well according to the
Heavenly Tradition. It is important that you pass this
tradition on to your children. Your children are your
legacy and you will be judged by what kind of children
you leave behind.
Pass On The True
Tradition
You must inherit and
pass on the tradition of True Love and Sacrifice. That
is most important for you, your children and your
lineage. Your ancestors brought you here and you must be
grateful to them.
Focusing on making
money will separate you from your No. 1 priority to
establish the Kingdom of God. How many wives stay home
with the children? Raise your hands.
You all were
front-line members at one time but just because you are
married and have children you loose your priorities. You
must give your children a piece of God's Kingdom. Those
of you who will not loose your right priorities will
truly be blessed by God. So as a family do not loose the
priorities of God and you will be able to show your
children the Kingdom.
The tradition of
Heaven must become a part of your life. Don't teach your
children false priorities. Teach them the proper
tradition but not just by your word. You must teach them
through your life, through your actions. You must
emulate True Parents.
Those who missed 5:00
am pledge at least once, raise your hands (many). Father
is giving you physical conditions so that you can come
to the zero point and face satan with more confidence.
Father does not need these conditions, He is doing this
for you. Satan always wants to put you down and he loves
mediocrity. Now you have the opportunity to go for the
best and you certainly deserve the best.
Evaluate Your
Situation
Father has been
speaking here for the last 19 years. Did you fully
accept Father's words? Take a look at yourself and
honestly evaluate your situation. If you had listened to
Father this nation would not be in the shape it is in
now. But you just could not receive Father's words.
Father took on this
country all by Himself. He made all kinds of physical
conditions even going to prison to effect spiritual
growth. Father really sacrificed His life for you
expressing His fatherly heart. If you ignore Father's
sacrificial way of life and do not listen to Him and
follow him, then you are almost spitting in His face. I
can not and will not tolerate that. You should not
tolerate it either. You must establish and unshakable
tradition.
Sunday morning pledge
and Sunday Service are most important in that tradition.
Educate your children well so that they will not be
influenced by outside pressures. Assess and re-assess
your situation and make constant conditions to defeat
satan. Make prayer and fasting conditions to help you
eliminate bad habits.
You must learn to pray
unselfishly. Pray to understand Father's needs and live
to fulfill those needs. You must get a true perspective
of who you are in relationship to God. Make conditions
to purify your hearts. You deserve the best. Some of you
are having doubts that you can actually be the best. But
if you have the confidence and conviction than you will
be successful and shape history. You have infinite
potential.
Re-assess your life
and dedicate your life again. How long have I been
speaking? Not long enough! My words are not easy to
listen to but I am speaking to liberate you form your
shackles. My prayer is that my words will address and
draw out your infinite capacity and potential.
Satan will always tell
you that you have no value and that you can not do
anything. But we must have the faith that we can achieve
the highest goals.
Father wants to bless
360 000 couples in three years. How many people will you
bring to the Blessing?
Put Your House In
Order
You must put your
house in order. Unless you do that you can not really
preach or teach the Principle to anyone. If you want to
change the world you first must drastically change your
lives. Father blessed you so that you could dedicate
your family to God. Here lies the deepest meaning of
life..."the dedication of your family to God!"
Then you can save
humanity and your lineage. Pass down your total devotion
to your child and do not worry about the physical
factors, they will be taken care off. Your purity is of
utmost importance and necessity. Don't even think
immoral thoughts even that will influence your children
negatively.
Satan will always try
to de-value you. Please absorb the words that I am
speaking to you. When you do, your conscious will move
your will and your will gets your body moving. That must
be your only desire. This is the true reality of life.
I have the opportunity
to meet the richest people in the world through my
horseback riding. Believe me they are not happy people.
Looking at material wealth is not reality. I went to
Czechoslovakia after Barcelona and spoke to brothers and
sisters there. I was very much moved by their purity and
innocence. Their perception of the True Parents and
Family was so moving to me.
They were very
disciplined and listened well. I had not seen such a
level of discipline before. The Western members do not
have the level of discipline of the oriental members.
One percent of the oriental members break their
Blessings, whereas five percent of the western members
break their Blessing.
Oriental members have
better tradition and discipline in a pure way. They can
truly unite and work together well. You western members
think they are loosing their individuality. But you must
realize that individual identity is defined in
relationship to the whole.
Compare a Japanese car
maker with an American car maker. The Japanese are able
to get new technology on the market after two years. It
takes the Americans four years. The power lies in
working together united as one, for one purpose, the
company. Americans who are much more individualistic do
not care so much about their company or the purpose of
the whole.
Religious Liberator
Some of you think that
I am too subjective. Religious leaders in the past have
been skinny people, meek and mild mannered and with soft
voices like Tyler Hendrix. But now we live in the age of
the True Parents and we do not fit the stereo type of
religion. We have come to liberate.
Do not judge True
Family through your own limited perception. We have so
many problems in our Church because you do not
understand. Do not be judgmental, rather be open to
receive the members of the True Family who are in the
Direct Dominion.
The position of
subject is always to uplift. God set that tradition. He
did this first. That's the expression of True Love.
Father always gives and uplifts even when He is in
prison. Don't do satan's work, don't do evil because of
ignorance. You and your family and God deserve more than
mediocrity. You must adhere to the basic traditions that
Father has set up.
Pledge at 5:00 am and
Sunday Service. Don't lower your standard to the outside
world. Think about the Japanese Brothers and Sisters who
are suffering to financially maintain this movement.
Have you cried for them? The ones that are more
responsible will have to carry the load that are not.
You must be more responsible if you want to save
America. You must do that to alleviate the suffering of
the Japanese Brothers and Sisters. You must put this
into your mind, to alleviate the suffering of your
Brothers and Sisters.
Brothers must become
ideal sons, ideal brothers, ideal husbands and ideal
fathers. Sisters must become ideal daughters, ideal
sisters, ideal wives and ideal mothers. I have spoken
now for almost three hours and I think you have heard
enough today. Husband and Wife and children, the whole
family must rededicate and inherit the tradition of True
Parents. Re-assess the meaning of Messiah ship and be
responsible. Those who pledge to make a new commitment
raise your hands. Lets pray.
