Leaders from all over
the world who are working hard for the development
of the Mongolian People’s Federation and the
Universal Peace Federation, which was launched as
the Abel UN!
Hand in hand with the
heavenly fortune, a new spring has finally come to
my fatherland, on the Korean Peninsula. I welcome
you all personally and on behalf of the members of
my family to this meaningful event, which you are
attending despite your busy schedules. I hope you
will fill your hearts with the new spring of
heavenly fortune and take it back with you to your
nations.
Distinguished world
leaders:
This is the third
holding of the Mongolian People’s Federation
Assembly. After inaugurating the Universal Peace
Federation in New York, on September 12, 2005, I
went on to complete a global tour of 120 nations in
order to pass on my inaugural message. The message
expressed that the Universal Peace Federation, in
the position of the Abel UN, should be developed as
a new international peace organization and that at
the same time the United Nations, as a Cain-type
institution, should be reformed by having a Peace
Council—a legislative organization consisting of
global religious leaders of the same rank as members
of the current UN Security Council—established
within it. I am referring to the founding of a Peace
Council that will speak not for the interests of a
particular nation, as the existing UN
representatives do, but which will truly work for
the welfare and peace of humanity from an
interreligious and universal perspective.
The concept of the
Universal Peace Federation, which was launched with
such a grand purpose and objective, could not have
emerged from any human brain. It is the greatest,
the utmost blessing given by Heaven to humanity and
is ushering in the new millennium. It is my hope
that the Mongolian People’s Federation too will
fulfill its duty as a partner of the Universal Peace
Federation in achieving its noble goals.
Toward that end, I
would like to pass on to you today a revelation from
God that is absolutely essential to all 6.5 billion
people comprising humanity. I hope you will all be
wise enough leaders to open your minds and listen to
the voice of Heaven. I will impart to you this
extensive message of Heaven under the title “The
True Owners in Establishing the Kingdom of
Cosmic Peace and Unity.”
Leaders of the world!
God, the Creator of
all things under the sun, is the true parent of all
humanity. He is not a parent in the parochial sense,
existing only for a certain religion, a certain
race, or the residents of a certain region. You may
call Him by any name, be it Jehovah, Allah, or any
other. What is important is that He positively
exists, lives as the true parent of all people, and
is carrying on the great work of creation. In
accordance with the principles and the laws of
nature that He set up at the beginning of time, He
governs everything in the universe, and He has
carried out His providence through history.
The Actually Existing
Spiritual World
Ladies and gentlemen:
The human mind is more
elevated than the human body and the spirit is more
elevated than the mind. In a place more elevated
that the spirit world, to which our spirits are
destined to pass on, resides God. Therefore, only
when we have become completely one with God in true
love are we complete. From this perspective, a
perfected person might be a small individual but
would represent all of history and all potential
future relationships and so could be said to possess
infinite value. Once we became aware of this cosmic
value, we would realize that our lives should be led
by and in service to our minds.
That is why your
conscience knows and remembers not only every action
you have performed but also every thought you have
entertained. Your conscience is aware of these
things before your own teachers, parents or even God
is. Hence, if you were to live in absolute obedience
to the commands of your conscience, which is your
teacher for eternity, you would be absolutely
guaranteed to have eternal life. Such is the way of
God’s creation.
When viewing the
structure of a human being from a different angle,
we can perceive that God created us as dualistic
entities. He created our physical bodies as
miniatures of the corporeal, tangible world and our
spiritual bodies as representatives of and lords of
the incorporeal world. Accordingly, a human being is
intended to live for a hundred years or so in the
physical world and once the physical body ceases
functioning to pass on naturally and automatically
into the incorporeal, spiritual world. In this way,
though it cannot be perceived by the eyes in our
physical bodies, the spiritual world is the
automatic and inevitable extension of our lives on
earth, humankind’s eternal, original homeland,
created by God.
As you can see, the
spiritual world does actually exist. It is not a
world that has been fantasized or imagined into
existence. We do not have the right of choice
concerning it. It is not a world we can go to if we
please or refuse to go to if we would rather not.
Just as God is eternal and unchanging, the spiritual
world created by Him is also eternal and unchanging.
In like manner to our living in the physical world
in our physical bodies and forming all sorts of
relationships with the existing world, even in the
spiritual world we are destined to go on living in
our spiritual bodies, and to form and maintain close
relationships with all phenomena of the spiritual
world.
The
Relationship between the
Spirit and Physical Body
However, in the
relationship between the spirit and the physical
body of a human being, the spirit is the more
important of the two. The physical body lasts for
about a hundred years before it stops functioning,
but the spirit lasts eternally, transcending time
and space. No matter how well a person dresses and
fares in the physical world, he is bound to die.
Therefore, before you pass on to the next world, you
should achieve unity between your physical and
spiritual bodies by living your earthly life in such
a way that you meet the standards of both the
physical and spiritual worlds.
In other words, you
have the responsibility of perfecting your spiritual
selves within your physical bodies based on the
finite life you live in the tangible, physical
world. This does not mean, however, that the
perfection of a spiritual self happens
automatically. Only on the basis of your having
achieved complete unity between your mind and body
during your earthly life by expressing true love
through actions can your spiritual self fully
mature.
Ladies and gentlemen:
In order for fruit to
ripen and be put into storage in autumn, it must
first pass through the process of spring and summer
and be provided with the nutrients supplied by
nature and the tender loving care of its owner.
Fruit raised in an orchard by a lazy and ignorant
owner will be afflicted with all kinds of diseases
and be affected by foul weather. Eventually it will
fall from the tree before it is ripe or be
classified as worm-infested. Though it would be
fruit, it would be different from other fruit since
it would never be good enough to sell in the
market.
Fruit that has fully
matured on the tree will automatically go into the
owner’s storehouse. Similarly, only when the spirit
of a person has reached perfection in his life in
the physical world, which can be likened to the
tree, can it automatically enter the incorporeal
spiritual world of the kingdom of heaven. In other
words, a person will enter the kingdom of God in
heaven automatically only when he has qualified for
and enjoyed the kingdom of heaven on earth by living
a fully matured life in his physical body.
While living on earth,
your every action and movement is recorded on your
spirit self, without exception and with the public
laws of heaven as the standard. Accordingly, you
will enter the spiritual world in the form of your
spirit self, on which are recorded your lives on
earth with 100 percent accuracy. Your spirit will
show plainly whether you have led a ripe life of
goodness, or a wormy, rotten life of sinfulness.
What this means is that God will not judge you; you
will be your own judge. If a person has been made
aware of this astonishing and terrible rule from
Heaven, would the end of that person’s life on earth
be spent in selfishness and immorality, as a descent
into all the temptations of Satan and in pursuit of
nothing but pleasure? You should abstain from
injuring and scarring your spiritual bodies at the
risk of your earthly lives. Please bear this truth
in mind: Whether you are bound for heaven or for
hell is determined by your thoughts, speech and
behavior in each moment.
This does not imply,
though, that the spirit leads its own life or that
it can express true love thorough actions on its
own. Your spirit self grows, matures and finally
becomes perfected only within your physical body,
through an earthly lifetime of having actualized
true love with your mind and body in a smooth
relationship of give and take.
Nevertheless,
undeniably, your outer selves and inner selves are
in a constant relationship of conflict and struggle.
How much longer will you allow this fighting to
continue? Ten years? A hundred years? In contrast,
there is undeniably order for all forms of existence
in the universe. This indicates that God did not
create us human beings in this state of conflicted
disorder. You need to know that it is your duty and
responsibility as a human being to dispel all
temptations directed at your outer self—your
physical body—and achieve victory in life by
following the way of your inner self—your
conscience. Heavenly fortune will be with those who
lead their lives in such a way, and they will attain
the perfection of their spiritual selves.
Bounds of Heaven and
Hell
Ladies and gentlemen:
What kind of places
are heaven and hell? What kind of people enter
heaven? If it really does exist, where would it be?
Would it be outside the galaxy, on the other side of
the skies? Or is it only a product of our
imagination? These are questions that everyone will
have pondered and asked at least once.
In brief, heaven is a
world overflowing with God’s true love and
established with true love at its axis. It is a
world where true love is the external form as well
as the internal content of every environment. It is
a world where true love is consistent at the
beginning and end of life. It is a world full of
people who were all born through true love, who live
in true love, who live in the embrace of true love
and follow the track of true love, and who finally
pass on into the next world, the spiritual world.
Consequently,
antagonism and jealousy cannot be found in that
world, for it is a natural world where each lives
for the sake of the other. It is not a world
governed by money, honor or power. It is a world
wherein the success of a person represents the
success of the whole, the likes of a person
represents the likes of the whole, and the joy of a
person represents the joy of the whole.
Heaven is a world
filled with the air of true love, where all breathe
true love. It is a world where life throbs at any
place at any time. It is a world whose constituent
members are all connected to the true God through
blood ties. It is a place where the whole world is
linked together in an inseparable relationship, like
the cells in our bodies. It is a world that is
governed only by true love, the love that is God’s
essence. Accordingly, God also exists for true
love.
A
Life of
True Love
You should lead a life
that is completely devoted to true love. Your life
should be one in which you love God more than did
Adam, Eve or Jesus. Through thoroughly actualizing
true love, you should perfectly unite your mind and
body and find and establish the realm of the
relationships of true love. To put it another
way, you should perfect a true family on earth, and
at least the three generations of true parents, true
brothers and sisters and children should live
together in true love, because only then will you be
eligible to enter heaven.
What love is true
love? The essence of true love is not having others
serve one but giving and serving for the sake of
others. It is a love that gives and forgets that it
has given and that continues to give endlessly. It
is a love that gives with pleasure. It is the heart
of pleasure. It is the love of a mother holding her
baby to her bosom and breastfeeding it. It is love
expressed through sacrifice as when, with pleasure,
a child acts with filial piety toward his or her
parents. It is a love just like that God expressed
when creating humankind, an act requiring absolute,
unique, unchanging and eternal love that gives
without any conditions or expectations of receiving
anything in return.
Ladies and gentlemen:
True love brings about
the incorporeal order, peace and happiness that
serve the common good. True love is love that
determines the source, center and owner of the
universe. True love is the root, and the symbol of
the will and power of God. Therefore, when bound in
true love, it is enough to be together eternally;
for it is love that can attract not only the
universe but even God. The value of true love lies
in its power, which is strong enough to eradicate
the walls of national boundaries, races, and
furthermore, of religion, created by fallen human
descendents. That is why the absolute condition
necessary to enter the kingdom of heaven is a life
that has been lived for the sake of others, that is,
a life of true love.
Yet look at the world
we are currently living in. The people of the world
are caught in the trap of extreme selfishness,
clamoring for material omnipotence. They have lost
all sense of values and have fallen into the depths
of self-gratification and degeneration. The world is
filled with alcoholics. As if drugs and free sex
were not enough, there are even those who commit
incest—an act not even seen in the animal world—and
still live with their heads held high. This world
has become one wherein beasts with human faces roam
freely even after violating women—queens,
grandmothers, mothers, wives and daughters. This
world has become one wherein the swapping of spouses
between couples is rampant. Such circumstances are
without a doubt the pinnacle of the destruction of
morality and the very last of fallen acts. This
world has become hell on earth, where the perfection
of the world embodying the ideal God envisaged at
the Creation cannot even be dreamed of.
Results of the Fall
We have come to know
that all these problems are rooted in the Fall of
Adam and Eve, our first ancestors. Adam and Eve, who
were at the perfection stage of the growth period,
had a sexual relationship before their rightful
time, due to the temptation of Satan. In this
manner, an illicit sexual union of man and woman
constituted the Fall. This is why people have
continued to commit such indecent acts—traitorous
acts that drive a sharp spike into the heart of
God—over thousands of years. They have been unable
to escape from the realm of the fallen lineage.
Ladies and gentlemen:
A man or woman alone
can only be one-half of the whole. That is how God
created us. For that reason, He has interchanged the
owners of the reproductive organs, the love organs.
The owner of the wife’s reproductive organ is the
husband, and the owner of the husband’s is the wife.
Only when each is rooted in true love for the sake
of the other are they in the position of the owner
of their spouse. In other words, irrespective of who
they are, all human beings can become perfected
individuals—and not just mere halves—only when they
have secured the position of an owner through
marriage.
The human sexual
organs are sacred. They are the palace of life,
where the seed of life is sown, the palace of love,
where the flower of love is made to bloom and the
palace of lineage, where the fruit of lineage is
borne. Through this absolute sexual organ, the
absolute lineage, absolute love and absolute life is
brought forth; and absolute harmony, absolute unity,
absolute liberation and absolute Sabbath brought
about.
For what reason, then,
are we trying to restore the position of the owner
of the reproductive organs? It is to possess God’s
love from that position. He is the subject of three
great loves. As the owner of the universe, He is the
true teacher, true owner, and ture loving parent.
These are the true three great subject ideologies.
All these teachings and truths are created through
the life of a true, model family; and with its
expansion, the society, nation, the world and even
the universe will be transformed into the peace
kingdom of the model, ideal family.
However, because of
the Fall, the first Adam lost the original, true
lineage and consequently failed to form the original
couple and the original family. Adam, who should
have become the true teacher, the true parent and
the true king, inherited the lineage of Satan and
was degraded to a false teacher, false parent and
false king.
When we come to think
of it, the purpose for Jesus’ coming down to earth
did not lie elsewhere. If Jesus, who had come as the
second Adam, had not lost his life on the cross, he
would have been of the original lineage of God,
unrelated to the Fall, and would have reversed the
failure of the first Adam, established the true
family as the Savior of humankind and founded on
earth the original human homeland, the kingdom of
the world embodying the ideal of peace, that is, the
kingdom of heaven on earth. However, the disciples,
the Jewish leaders and the leaders of the nation of
Israel all failed to recognize the Christ, and their
disbelief caused Jesus to end his life in such a
wretched and tragic way. Has there been anyone who
knew of the grievous heart of Jesus, who had to
leave earth at an untimely moment, leaving no child
behind him? Though two thousand years of
Christianity history have passed, has there ever
been any Christian who stopped to imagine Jesus’
sorrowful circumstances? Jesus left suddenly,
leaving behind him few traces other than a promise
to return, and though his physical body has long
been buried and become dust, the will that God had
tried to fulfill through him is finally in the
process of being completed at this time, at the end
of history, through True Parents, who have received
the seal of Heaven and been manifested on earth.
However, the
life of Rev. Moon, whose task it is to complete the
mission of True Parents, has been one of sorrow,
marked by inexpressible suffering and persecution.
The third Adam, the True Parent, needs to restore
through indemnity and completely reverse all the
failures of the first and second Adams. It is True
Parents’ mission to not only complete the mission of
the Savior, Messiah, and Lord at his second coming,
but also the mission of all those major figures on
whom religions are based. With similarities to God’s
creation of the universe, his life has constituted
the great work of the re-creation of humanity, where
not even the smallest error is permitted. It has
been a lonely course that cannot be discussed with
anyone. It has been a course that took him down
thorny paths through the wilderness—paths that he
had to follow while utterly alone. Not even God
could acknowledge him. Hovering many a time between
life and death and vomiting blood, he has still had
to rise again like a phoenix to remain true to his
promise to God. Rev. Moon has had to endure
imprisonment six times, though he was innocent: for
working in the underground independence movement
when he was studying in Japan in his early days; for
propagating the will of God in Pyongyang, which was
under communist rule immediately after Korea’s
colonial independence; during the Syngman Rhee
administration, after Korea had been reborn as a
free nation; and, furthermore, even in the United
States, which proudly presents itself to the world
as a model of democracy. Who on earth can understand
the eventful life of Rev. Moon? His has been a life
of misery, which he has endured by biting his
tongue, for the sake of our God that deserves pity,
and for the salvation of fallen people of the world
who are suffering in the realm of death. Even now,
if one person were to look into my heart and speak a
word of sympathy, my tears would
become an explosive waterfall.
Heaven
Begins from the Family
Ladies and gentlemen:
The sinful era of
restoration through indemnity, the era before the
coming of heaven, has passed and the era of the
constitutional government, ruled by heavenly law,
that is, the time after the coming of heaven, is
upon us. You are now living in an era of grace in
which, after receiving the marriage blessing from
True Parents, completing the conversion of lineage,
and leading a life of the settlement of noon, a life
without shadows, you can automatically enter the
kingdom of heaven. That is to say, if you establish
a true family on earth and lead a heavenly life,
once you die your life will be connected to the
kingdom of heaven in heaven just as you are, and you
will enjoy eternal life.
Therefore, in the
framework of the family, you should serve God as the
Father in the topmost position. Everyone of you
should become His children, entering into a
parent–child relationship with Him and perfecting
yourselves through living together, closely linked
in blood ties. In short, you should form and live in
the realm of a true love relationship with God.
Who would be the
greatest grandfather of the universe? The first
human ancestors, Adam and Eve, call God “Father.”
Should their children call Him “Grandfather”? They
too should call Him “Father.” Why is this so? From
the viewpoint of God, the vertical center, all
object partners of love are equal. His object
partners, which are produced through the horizontal
expansion and multiplication of His love, assume
equal value regardless of who they are, transcending
time and space. Simply put, everyone has equal value
in perfected love.
The kingdom of heaven
must first be achieved on earth. What this means is
that the kingdom of heaven being established in the
corporeal world is prerequisite to establishing the
kingdom of heaven in the incorporeal world.
Therefore, heaven is not a world found in space on
the other side of the galaxy, nor is it the
by-product of imagination existing only in the human
brain. It refers to the substantial kingdom of
heaven on earth, which can only be created when you
have led lives expressive of true love. When you
leave the physical world on that foundation, you
automatically enter the incorporeal kingdom of
heaven in heaven. This means that only when you have
led a heavenly life on earth, can you lead such a
life also in heaven.
Only the fruit that
has fully ripened on the tree is classified while in
storage as a product of the best quality. Herein
lies the reason why your lives should not be ones
bound for hell, devoured by insects on the tree. You
should never forget that you yourselves determine
whether you go to heaven or to hell through your
life on earth.
The Value of
Family
Ladies and gentlemen:
The reason we miss the
family we have left behind is that at home there is
love for one another. It is where the love of mother
and father, the love of elder brothers and sisters
and younger siblings, and the love of one’s spouse
and children and close neighbors are all deeply
embedded. It is a place of mutual affection, where
all relationships and affinities are brought
together through mutual love. This makes you want to
cherish each and every member of your family. It
would be the yearning and desire of a wanderer that
has left his family behind him to appear before his
family once again boldly as a liberated being, and
to embrace mountains, streams and trees, love his
kith and kin, and sing songs of ecstasy. However,
the lot of humankind, descended from the Fall, has
been different: banished from their hometown and
destined to wander around forever in isolation and
defeat, human beings are unable ever to go back, no
matter how much they miss their family, for they
have lost the root of the heart of their original
homeland.
However, with the
ushering in of the era of a new heaven and a new
earth after the coming of heaven, human beings have
been pulled out of the marsh that was sucking them
down, and the way has been opened for them to return
to their hometowns—hometowns that they could not
forget even for a moment—and meet with their family.
Could there ever be a day of greater blessing for
humanity? The time of heavenly power and fortune has
now come for us to reestablish the original family
that was lost through the Fall of Adam and Eve.
A
Family of Three Generations
Living in Harmony
When seeking after the
lost original family, you should set out from the
position of the perfection of Adam, the position of
the perfected Jesus, and the perfected position
representing the Second Coming of the Lord. God will
dwell in such a family. That family would be one of
three generations—grandparents, parents and
children—living in harmony. You need to live in
service and attendance of the grandfather as the
historical root of your ancestors.
The family sets the
pattern for living together in harmony. The home
wherein parents and children love and respect each
other, husband and wife are grounded in mutual trust
and love, and brothers and sisters trust and rely on
each other, and all live together as one, is the
model ideal family. This means that you need to
establish a true family wherein the stem of true
love emerges from the root of true love and bears
the fruit of true love.
In such a family the
root of history is alive, and the root of the
kingdom of heaven extends into it. It is in such a
family that the kingdom of heaven on earth takes
root. It is also where the everlasting root of
kingship is firmly planted. The roots of the past,
present and future are represented by the
grandparents, parents, and grandsons and
granddaughters respectively. The root of the past
represents the spirit world, the root of present is
the palace representing the world today, and the
root of future establishes the grandsons and
granddaughters as princes and princesses, and erects
the palace of peace representing the two worlds, the
spirit world and the physical world.
In such a manner, the
three generations of grandparents, parents, and
grandsons and granddaughters should live together as
one family, serving the eternally existent God. You
should know that to seek after and establish such a
family of Cheon Il Guk, God’s kingdom, is the
responsibility of tribal messiahs, the mission of
the peace ambassadors, and the desire of God.
The movement to
realize a society of mutual existence, prosperity,
and benefit, by making humanity one great family,
breaking down the walls in our hearts and
eliminating even the boundaries between nations,
begins thus from one family. Therefore, we should
bear in mind that to form and establish true
families is our providential calling, advancing the
establishment of the cosmic peace kingdom on earth.
You should form
families that God will miss and yearn to return to
after He has been away. You should raise families to
which He can come freely as a Parent visiting His
children. That is living in the service of God. To
such a family, God becomes the Subject of our
conscience, acting vertically. Following that
vertical Subject, your mind stands in the position
of the vertical subject of yourself, and brings your
mind and body into unity. That is where parental
love, conjugal love, children’s love, and siblings’
love—in short, the four realms of love or the four
realms of heart—are perfected. Only in such a family
can the upper and lower, front and behind, left and
right be connected as one and circular motion
continue.
If the world were
filled with such true families, that world would be
one governed by the heavenly way and heavenly laws,
with no need for lawyers, prosecutors or even
judges. Ponder this for a moment. Who would be most
fully aware of your good and bad deeds? It would be
your grandparents, your parents, your spouse and
your children.
Is there anything that
cannot be resolved within the family? When parents
and children, husband and wife, and elder siblings
and younger siblings set an example of living for
the sake of one another, how could they do anything
unforgivable? What chance would they have to commit
crimes? A world governed by the heavenly way and the
heavenly laws is a natural world, an unobstructed
world of truth and pure reason, and a world of the
settlement of noon, where no shadows are cast.
Esteemed
representatives of the Mongolian People’s
Federation:
We should all return
gratitude and glory to God and True Parents for
enlightening us about the incredible providential
age in which we are living. We should give praise
and thanks for eternity to True Parents for opening
the time after the coming of heaven, which is
unprecedented in history and which will never be
repeated in the future, and for bringing about the
era of the settlement of the realm of true
liberation and complete freedom. Just as the sun
rises with brilliant light in the eastern sky,
heavenly fortune is now shining upon all people. The
curtain of darkness that shrouded us for thousands
and tens of thousands of years is lifting at last.
as Heaven's will is taking root in your hearts. This
is a path of destiny you cannot avoid. Therefore
stand up with courage and shout out, “Whoever wants
to die will live, and whoever wants to live will
die!”
Ladies and gentlemen:
The mission of the
Mongolian People’s Federation has now become clear.
Serving the Universal Peace Federation as the
vertical Abel, and the religious realm and national
realm of the world as the horizontal Abel, it should
be in the position of Cain and work as the central
figure in establishing the global kingdom of the
peace ideal. I hope you also will participate
actively in the Bering Strait Tunnel Project,
currently being promoted as a Universal Peace
Federation construction project. Through the
completion of this project, humanity will become one
great family and the establishment of a war-free
world of the peace ideal, espousing the blessings of
eternal peace will come to be.
Please become true
princes and princesses that can attend and live
together with God, the eternal peace king, as the
true parent of humanity. Let us restore the
Mongolian People’s Federation to the Mongolian
Shared Lineage Federation by receiving the marriage
blessing of True Parents and perfecting the
conversion of our lineage. Please take to heart that
this is the task assigned to you by God and become
the true owners in establishing the Kingdom of Peace
and Unity in Heaven and on Earth.
May God’s grace be
upon you, your family and your nations.
Thank you.
