01Existence Of God

1

One of the agonies that people throughout the world in the latter part of the 20th century are faced with is whether or not God truly exists. The majority of people insist that God does not exist.

2

For this reason, half of these people are praising mammonism centered on humanism, and the other half are praising communism centered on materialism. We need to have a clear understanding of God. Please do not forget what I am saying right now. Certainly, God is alive. (4/26/1981)

3

Had humans not fallen, it would not have been necessary to ask the question whether or not God is alive because one would know the answer through his or her original mind. In other words, had the human ancestors not fallen, but instead had established a true family as the parents of goodness in this universe, multiplying that family in this world, such a discussion would not have been necessary.

4

Because they would have been connected to God through their blood lineage, they would have known God's existence immediately, even through their bodies. Like a tree, no explanation would have been required.

5

Had God created humans in a way that they could understand Him only through explanations, one could say that something is wrong with His creation of humans.

6

Originally, humans did not need an explanation. But the humans who should have started their history, transcending explanations, due to the fall, started history alienated from God on the level of an individual, a family, a tribe, a nation, and the world. They ended up living in a world where they discuss whether or not God exists.

7

Without the fall, had humans been born from good parents with their original nature fully developed, it would not have been necessary to question whether or not God truly exists. From their birth, they would have known it naturally.

8

Isn't a baby in the womb born knowing how to suck its mother's breast? As soon as a baby is born, if breasts are shown in front of its eyes, it knows how to suck automatically.

9

Likewise, had humans not fallen, they could have known their relationship with God, and they could have known how to resolve any problems, and could have understood the right path to follow.

10

However, due to the fall, they forgot all about this. As a result, they came to the point where they created a world in which they doubt the existence of God. This is indeed a miserable situation. (120-306)

11

The most serious problem that took place on Earth is the appearance of communism. Why is this such a serious event? It is so because it states that God is dead, although God is truly alive.

12

What is the most serious sin or crime?

13

It is to lie, saying that someone does not exist when he or she does. When a certain person is alive, if someone tells a lie that he or she is dead, that person will become his or her greatest enemy. If your parents are alive, if you say that they are not, there is no greater sin. (22-126)

14

At an early age, I experienced the essence of all religions. The first issue of all religions is whether or not the absolute God truly exists, and this is the most important question for humans.

15

Does God exist?

16

His existence as a being with absolute value determines the value of humans, who are finite and are in a relative position. Therefore, we must resolve this matter.

17

However, none of the saints and sages, philosophers, and religious people who came to the earth and passed away resolved this matter clearly before humanity.

18

Today, humans cannot find an ultimate solution to the challenge of communism, which states that God does not exist. Even that problem is due to the failure of democracy, which cannot answer the questions related to God.

19

Furthermore, all the phenomena taking place at the end of this century are also due to the failure of religions today, which cannot resolve the same questions related to God. (4/25/1981)

20

Many people are living in this world. In today's world, problems do not remain strangers but are our own. Such is the world where we are now living. Whether we are living in the world of democracy or of communism, people are anxious to realize the world of God, and they seek the world of peace.

21

Yet, to establish such a world, we come to realize that humans cannot do it alone. We know that we have come to a point where we cannot, in the true sense, build a unified world of peace, with power, wisdom, culture, or anything else done by humans alone.

22

From this perspective, what is the central issue for resolving all problems of the world? To answer this question clearly, the issue of the existence of God is more important than anything else.

23

If all humans come to clearly understand that God truly exists, they will come to understand where His will is heading, and then this world will become one unified world of peace, an ideal world.

24

Once people come to know God's existence, both the democratic world and the communist world will be able to find solutions for all the problems that they face.

25

Once they know God's existence and His will, all humanity will have no choice but to follow God and His will.

26

Until the present time, numerous religions have existed, but no religion could present evidence of God's existence, the most fundamental question of all mankind. Nor could philosophy do it, although that is what they have been trying to pursue.

27

Therefore, rather than pursuing God in a vague and ambiguous position, Rev. Moon believes that we should deal with the questions of God from a practical viewpoint. (151-131)

28

What will the Unification Church do in front of all humanity who are groaning at the limit line of this despair? One of the things that the Unification Church should do for them is to answer the question of God's existence. (33-226 )

Proving God's Existence

29

The most important task for our VOC activities is to prove the reality of God's existence. Although, as VOC members, our hard work is important and appreciated, we should show the real existence of God to communists who deny it. However, unless we strongly feel His existence ourselves, we shall not be able to have the conviction that we can defeat communism.

30

Let me give you an interesting example to explain to you the existence of God. Before I do, first, I would like to ask you a question: what part of your body do you love the most? I am asking you this question, dealing with visible things, since the mind is invisible. Then what is it? Is this not an interesting question?

31

Someone might say it is his ears, saying that they are "ears of fortune" in the belief that they will bring fortune to him or her. Someone else, for the same reason, however, might say that it is his or her nose.

32

Also, another person might say it is his or her eyes, saying that they are like those of a Chinese phoenix, etc. There will be all kinds of people who will come up with all kinds of reasons as to their preferences.

33

However, the most important part of our body is our face. That is why people normally do not talk about someone's body, whether it is handsome or ugly, but do talk about his or her face in terms of its beauty or ugliness.

34

The reason is that it is the most important part of the human body. However, what is most important in a human face is the eyes. This is because, although all other parts are fixed and cannot move, the eyes can move in all directions while engaging in various activities.

35

Further, the first part that comes into being, even with animals, is the eyes. If you pay close attention to a tadpole that is being born, you will notice that the first part that is being made is the eyes.

36

What does this mean?

37

This means that, in this universe, there is a central being who has been existing, like these eyes, even before any other beings came to exist. That is why our eyes symbolize God. On the other hand, our noses symbolize humans. It is the last to develop of all the body parts of human beings.

38

When a baby's nose is kind of flat, but as he or she grows, it grows big and protrudes around the age of his or her teens. The reason is that at the time of God's creation, humans, who are symbolized by the nose, were created last.

39

The nose was created last. When a human inhales, air goes in through two nostrils, but later, it goes through only one nostril, meeting at one point.

40

Here, two nostrils symbolize a man and a woman, respectively, and like a nose, they eventually become one. Then, what does a mouth symbolize? It symbolizes all things. That is why humans have 32 teeth, which symbolize the entire world, which consists of four directions and eight directions (4 x 8).

41

That is, it symbolizes all things in the universe. Then what about ears?

42

They can communicate with the four directions of north, south, east, and west. From this viewpoint, we can understand that the closest and most familiar organ of the human body is our face. That is why we look into our face after washing it in the morning, at which time, people normally only think of their external look of their face.

43

However, let us, for a moment, set aside the external look and think about the root of the eyes in particular. The eyes did not know the existence of the sun before they were born.

44

If any ancestors of humans or other creations with eyes are asked a question whether they knew the existence of the sun before their births, they will be unable to answer this question. Thus, eyes themselves were born into this world without knowing that the sun exists.

45

Also, when you look at eyelashes, why were they made?

46

I think that they were made to prevent dust from getting into the eyes, already knowing that there is dust in the air. Then, when eyelashes first came into being, did they know that air and dust exist in the world? We cannot say so.

47

Nevertheless, how did they come into being?

48

Furthermore, we have tear ducts in our eyes. Do you think that the eyes knew in advance that the water in the eyes would evaporate due to the sunlight? They did not know. Nevertheless, as if a water-pipe was installed for a water faucet, our eyes have tear ducts.

49

If we didn't, within 30 minutes our eyes would have turned red. Even if we think of only one part of the body, the eyes, in our face that we look at daily, we find them a palace of mystery. But come to think of it, the fact that eyes were made in preparation for the sun, without even knowing that the sun exists in the universe, and the fact that eyelashes came into being even without knowing that air exists, and that dust exists in the air, is truly amazing.

50

Further, when the eyes blink to prevent the dryness of the eyes, the fact that a tear duct is attached is truly remarkable as well.

51

Today, communists assert that the universe exists naturally. However, when you look at the universe, existing so scientifically, no matter how minute some part of it may be, we cannot say that it just exists automatically.

52

Let us yield to them 100 percent. Yet their assertion "natural or automatic" is not a blind "natural or automatic." Then we cannot help but conclude that the "natural or automatic" is a result of nature with an inherent sense of direction and purpose.

53

From this perspective, someone must certainly have known that the sun exists even before eyes came into being.

54

Likewise, even before eyes came into being, someone must have known that there is air, and in the air, dust exists. We cannot say that they came into being automatically when no one knew about them. Then, who could know it?

55

Ladies and gentlemen, who claims the superiority of humankind?

56

Could it be the eyes themselves? Our eyes, nose, and ears, respectively, are considered to be a palace of mystery. But, as evolutionists say, do you believe that they came into being automatically based on such an unscientific theory? They say that living things came to be as they are according to the laws of mutation.

57

But that is nothing but a theory that is used as a means to defend their evolutionism with its many contradictions. It is a serious matter for us to understand this question.

58

Before my eyes knew, the fact is that someone first knew that the sun and dust exist in this world and prepared us with eyes and eyelashes, with incredible knowledge. Then, who can that being be?

59

When seen from this perspective, it is only logical that we can conclude that a central being, a subject, who can have dominion over humans, exists in the universe. It is all right to say that the subject is a concept, a thought, or a cognition, as put in today's academic language.

60

However, because such a subject created humans with knowledge with incredible depth that goes beyond the material dimension, humans came to have systematic forms and relations. This, we cannot deny.

61

To exist, nothing comes into being without a purpose. It just does not happen.

62

Then, why does direction exist? Direction exists where there is a purpose. Otherwise, we can conclude that it does not exist.

63

Ladies and gentlemen, you came to Belvedere early this morning. Why? Did you say to yourself, "Just go in that direction, without a reason or a purpose?" Because you intended to listen to the words of Rev. Moon, you came to visit Belvedere.

64

Then we can conclude that a direction comes only with a purpose. Well, let me ask you the question whether or not an amoeba can invest power or energy beyond its ability, and to present a direction and a purpose? What do you think? [No.] It is impossible. It is illogical. It is just nonsense.

65

Nevertheless, communists try to justify their theory of dialectics. But it just does not work. The theory of dialectics cannot be logical because it teaches that a direction can be presented even without a purpose. Without a purpose, everything is destroyed.

66

Still, such a question is asked, and people do not know. So, since it cannot be done within itself, we can say that something was added or invested in it. That is what happened. When viewed from this perspective, it is only sensible to think that there is a motivating being in existence. Such a theory is scientific.

67

Then what do you mean by "scientific?" When something hypothetical fits with reality, it is called "scientific." If someone says that energy comes into being automatically, it is not scientific.

68

For energy to be generated, either heat or an injection should be given. Then, it works. A magnet is turned to the south, and it is directed to the north. What has that directional nature? Why? Can material itself, nature itself, possess such an active inclination or characteristic? No. It cannot.

69

Being scientific means that it fits a theory. And the theory should be in line with its hypothesis, proof, and reality. They should be based on the same principle. From this view, God is the causal being of the universe. He is the causal being of all of these functions. He is the causal being who adds such energy. He is the causal being who gives direction and purpose.

70

Therefore, it is inevitable to conclude that such a causal being exists. Further, we call him the being of character. Why? Because He presents a purpose with a direction always centered on a motivation, and because He keeps this position without wavering.

71

That is why one can say that we travel to the world of purpose via a direction through a cause. When viewed from such a perspective, the causal being of the whole is called God.

72

Why do we lead a life of faith?

73

It is to invest a higher form of energy that transcends ourselves as individuals.

74

Then, where is that direction headed? Towards the world of the higher realm, not the fallen world in which we are now living. Isn't that right?

75

That is why a theory that God does not exist is groundless. The cause and the effect always match. Right? [Yes.] The more complicated the process is, the more complicated the cause and the purpose are. That is why it is more valuable. The broader the width, the more valuable the process is. (89-74)

76

Even when seen from the perspective of how the conscience works, we cannot say that God does not exist. God exists. Those who deny the existence of God must also deny the function of conscience. By the same token, as long as we admit it, God exists. For this reason, we cannot deny the existence of God. (56-166)

77

Our belief in the existence of God is not merely a theory. When viewing it from the principled relationship of subject and object, our position is not only that it is inevitable that God must exist, but that even before I came into being, and even before I was able to think, did not God exist first?

78

Did God not have dominion over everything about me, including my senses? Coming to realize this point is more important than anything else. Is it not a principle that we come to understand after recognizing it first?

79

It is not the other way around. We do not know this cold climate before feeling it, but we feel the cold weather first, and next we understand the feeling of being cold.

80

Likewise, if God exists, we should feel his existence first, with our cells. The level of feeling Him is the question. In other words, the question is how we can confirm our actual experiences. (58-29)

God Should Be Invisible

81

The question of whether or not God exists is a complicated one. If God exists, would you be happy or not if He were visible to everyone's eyes, and could be met by anyone whenever he or she desires to? [We would be unhappy.]

82

God is absolute, unique, and remains at the very top. Therefore, people would like to possess Him alone.

83

Nevertheless, if He is visible, what will happen?

84

From this view, if God is in the midst of us, do you think that there will be anyone who would dislike God or not? [No one.] Of course, everyone would like Him. But since He is the only being, will there be competitions or not? [There will be.]

85

Then, the one who has the strongest fist will possess God alone. [Laughter.] Then, the head gangster or a wrestling champion will make God his own. Have you ever thought of it? And when you look at the world, would the U.S.A. like God or not?

86

[They would.] Then, would a communist country, such as Russia, like God or not? [They would.] Then each nation would fight to possess God on their side, wouldn't they? [They would.] They would fight even with an atomic bomb.

87

Then, who will stop the fight? Who can? If a handsome-looking God is in front of our eyes, everyone will continue fighting to keep Him on his or her side. Such a war will not be compared with the wars taking place in today's world, but will be much fiercer. Would God have thought about it or not? (39-154)

88

Is it good for God to be visible or invisible?

89

It is good not to be visible. If God had been visible, how could He be free to act as God?

90

Have you ever thought of it? For many thousands of years, how many times have nations fought to gain more territory for themselves on such a small planet as Earth?

91

Further, these days, they are fighting to keep more people on their side. If a political party, such as Republicans or others, finds someone useful, it fights to take such a person into its party. Right?

92

If God, the master of the whole universe, is visible, would people not fight to keep Him on their side? There is no way of stopping such fights. It is good for God not to be visible to people.

93

If God had been visible, would there not be fights between the U.S.A. and Russia?

94

There would. Then, who could stop them from fighting against each other? God is omnipotent, and knowing that such things will take place, He remains invisible. Is it good? [Yes.] For God to desire to be visible would be absurd.

95

It is good for Him to remain invisible. If God dwells in your mind, would you know it or not? You surely do. If God dwells in your mind, you will be able to see through a wall. So, will you see the inside of the Pacific Ocean? Such ability can be given to a human being. (41-387)

96

Who will deny the existence of God? They will be stricken by lightning. It is impossible to deny God's existence. If they do, they are Communists. (71-77)

02Unification Thought

97

Today, in the world where we live, we are faced with problems from the democratic world and the communist world. We are witnessing right in front of our eyes a worldwide political climate that is confrontational, conflicting, and opposite each other. Then, what will be the ideology that will become the center of the world? This is the question. (66-19)

98

What is an ideology?

99

It is not material. It is not visible, but it is a thought. An "ism" is brought about based upon an ideology. Therefore, the term ideology cannot be applicable to materialism. For this reason, an ideology that can replace it should appear.

100

In other words, an ideology that is based on complete truth should appear, and should connect human ethics and religion, bringing unity between them. That truth should transcend time and space.

101

And that truth should be in accord with what has been sought by all prophets, saints and sages, patriots, and should also be in accord with what has been sought by all philosophers, politicians, and economists.

102

Otherwise, we cannot build one unified world. Until now, such a system was externally established, but internally, the truth that can substantiate it has not appeared. In other words, no revolution took place centered around the ideology that can bring forth the unification of the world.

103

When Jesus was crucified, the thief on his right side wanted to serve Heaven, but the thief on his left took a position of disbelief in Heaven.

104

Likewise, today, the world is divided into two: There is a right-wing world that takes the position of the thief on the right side and a leftwing world that takes the position of the thief on the left side.

105

That is why the left-wing world became a world that claims it does not know God. Then, what should be witnessed in such a world? It is true love. As people witnessed love in the name of Jesus, a religious country that seeks Heaven should come and witness true love. (4:247)

Unification Thought is the Love ideology

106

The tests for democracy and communism are already over. Then what is Moonism, Unificationism, or Godism?

107

Man should exist as a being of love based on the ideal relationship with love as a vertical axis and with the principle of existence on the horizontal. It should not be only a theory, but such should be done in reality. (12/12/85)

108

What is Godism? It is love-ism. People in the Unification Church are people who strive to achieve Godism, centered on God's love. (163-89)

109

You should understand that the reason why the world opposed the Unification Church is due to such a providential background.

110

To deal with the opposition of nations and the world against the Unification Church, the Unification Church should come up with an "ism," which is Godism.

111

Godism is the ideal of love centered on God. Such is the reason why the Unification Church has been fighting for Godism before the two worlds. (1/4/85)

112

What is Unification Thought?

113

It is a thought that can possess God and His love, and then True Parents, the true family, the true tribe, the true nation, and even the true world. (4/15/80)

114

When you look at the nations of the world, the diplomats who represent their nation think that they should cheat other nations into performing their duties well.

115

Then, what will happen to the world?

116

The future of the world will be hopeless. The Unification Church teaches that an individual sacrifices himself or herself to protect his or her family, a family for his or her tribe, a tribe for his or her society, a people for their nation, a nation for the world, and the world for God. This thought is to protect God by sacrificing the world.

117

When that happens, will you perish?

118

Will this branch perish? Will this trunk perish? No. Everyone will remain alive. Then what comes out of it? There will be prosperity, and the source of happiness will appear. That is our view in Unification Thought.

119

That is the way we can achieve the unification of North Korea and South Korea. Otherwise, there is no other way of uniting the world. That is where the Unification Thought stems from, and that is the reason why I am asking you to return to your family, your family to your tribe, and ultimately to your original root. Let us return to it as quickly as possible. (79-224)

120

This is one of the differences between other churches and our Unification Church.

121

The Unification Church teaches that we should love our brothers and sisters as our parents, and our tribe, our people, and our nation as our brothers and sisters. Even if we should abandon our parents, we should love our own country.

122

However, to love the world, we should be willing to abandon even our own country. Likewise, to love God, we should be willing to sacrifice the world. For the sake of something more distant and greater, we should be willing to sacrifice something closer to us and smaller, to find the path to true love. This is the main thought of the Unification Church. It is simple. Do you understand? [Yes.]

123

However, what is that thought?

124

It is not Rev. Moon's. What is being said in America is not Rev. Moon's idea. It is originally from God and therefore God's. When we look at God, we can see that He is a being who loves others more than Himself.

125

By loving the others more than Himself, He desires to bring two people together so that He can create a greater scope of love through their oneness.

126

That is the movement that God desires to cultivate. Since this is the essence of God's thought, God sends the one closest to Him to the world and sacrifices that person for the sake of all humanity. That is God's thought. (100-30)

127

What is the ideology of the Unification Church or Rev. Moon? Rev. Moon's ideology is not for the sake of a nation, but for the world. The purpose of the Republic of Korea is to love the world.

128

Likewise, the purpose of Christian churches is to love Korea, and by building a bridge, to eventually love the world, heaven, and earth. Then, what should be done? The closest one should be sacrificed.

129

What is the ideology of God who has been toiling to restore this world until the present? To save the evil world and to save the pitiful and the poor, God has been leading a dispensation for salvation by sacrificing the one closest to Him. (33-298)

Unification Thought is a God-Centered ideology

130

Today, if the democratic world asks for the third liberation, the communist world will ask for the second liberation, wouldn't they?

131

From this perspective, where will a new ideology and thought that can be a flag-bearer of the second and third liberations, and that can be their source, stem from?

132

It cannot stem from the human world. Humans have been striving to achieve liberation for many thousands of years, but they could not come up with the right content. Therefore, liberation cannot take place centered on humans. (13-225)

133

Would you become a nationalist who lives only for your nation or a person who lives for the world? [The world.] Religions are not only for the people who live in the world, but also for God.

134

Their purpose is not to benefit only humans but also God.

135

Which ideology is better: the one that benefits both God and humans, or the one that benefits only humans?

136

In other words, is the ideology that serves both God and humans the best, or the one that pursues the happiness of humans alone, abandoning their original master? [The former.] Your answer tells me that you know the right thing. Religions are good.

137

Then, will it be all right for the ideology to be pleasing only to God?

138

From the principled viewpoint, it should not be so. It should be pleasing both to God and humans. Communists assert that God does not exist and that matter is life itself. They would not want to go to hell.

139

However, communism will eventually perish. Even religions that exist only for the sake of God will perish. Likewise, religions or ideologies that exist only for humans will perish as well.

140

If not, I will make it happen with my own hands. Then, will the ideology that serves and benefits both God and humans be welcomed in the world of God or not? Also, will that be welcomed in the world of humans or not? It will be welcomed by both worlds. (43-44)

141

What is the cosmic ideology?

142

Our ideology is superior and one step further advanced than communism?

143

Its purpose is not only to liberate all mankind but also God. Therefore, without a heart, it cannot be done.

144

Since parents are connected to children with chains of the heart, unless children are liberated, parents cannot be liberated. Therefore, let us create a history of the heart. Let us establish the tradition of the heart. Let us create a world of the heart. We should be different from others. Let us liberate God. (55-50)

145

What ideology does the Unification Church uphold?

146

It is Godism. That is our view. Anyone who lives by Godism is communicating in the world of the heart. It is so because they do not attend to God conceptually, but in actual life. In the Unification Church, we discuss God's heart.

147

Today, "theology" teaches about God. But we do not know the heart by obtaining knowledge from learning. That is what you should understand. You would not know by understanding. People would not know me in the true sense, even if they meet me and say, "Ah, that is Rev. Moon. His eyes are such and such, his nose is such and such, etc."

148

To know a person well, you should live with him or her. Do you understand? No matter how great he or she may appear to be, if you live with that person, you will discover something that you did not expect. Right? [Yes.] So, you should go ahead and do it. Yet, when you live, you should not live blindly, but should live well. (59-101)

Unification Thought

149

Communism and democracy are confronting each other, centering on their truth, that is, their doctrines. Yet, from now on, Chun-joo's ideology, transcending national boundaries, should appear.

150

Still, its purpose is not the ideology itself. In the last days on the worldwide level, the democratic world and communist world will be entirely invaded. Therefore, an ideology that can absorb both democracy and communism should appear. That is, there should be an ideology that can connect the whole centered on the individual.

151

As the last days approach, what is it that we need?

152

God's character, heart, and value. That is, the question is hope, situation, and heart. Today, all prevalent ideologies and those gaining power in the world are related to God. (16-273)

153

With what did the Unification Church appear?

154

In short, the goal of Unification Thought is to terminate a tragic human history and to start a new, hopeful history for all mankind. It is equipped with content that can reach that goal.

155

The Unification Thought is an ideology that strives to connect the spirit world and the physical, phenomenal world into one.

156

Further, even if the entire world comes into this ideology of Unification Thought, since only a portion of it can be filled, we can say that the greatness and vastness of the Unification Thought are beyond the limits of human imagination.

157

We should understand that ideology is a thought that can connect not only the world but also the entire universe, the spirit world, and even God as one. (10/21/86)

158

When we walk with a greater thought, a greater will, the standard that is lower than that will be included. For this reason, humans should hold a high thought.

159

From this viewpoint, has there been any other thought that is greater than Unification Thought throughout human history? In this sense, we can say that the Unification Thought is the greatest of all thoughts. (49-51)

160

Who is God? He is the subject of heaven and earth. Since he has the highest ideal, He can also become the standard of our purpose and motivation.

161

For this reason, the motivation and purpose of our existence is God.

162

Then, where can we find that motivation and purpose?

163

That motivation is a family centered on God's will, and that family is to realize that purpose on the worldwide level.

164

This is Unification Thought. This is the supreme standard that you, young people, should understand as the thought that can bring the world to one point. The cosmic ideology is a thought with a content that no other thoughts that have existed throughout all human history can ever reach.

165

This is a new thought that can exceed any other world thought, and its distinctive nature lies in the character, "joo," which signifies "house" from "Chun-jo.... ideology. (25-83)

166

The ideology of the Unification Church is the "Chun-joo" ideology. Of course, this is an ideology that strives to bring heaven and earth into one, but "joo" from "Chun-joo" signifies a "house." In other words, it is the ideology of a family. Man is heaven, and woman is earth.

167

If they are united into one, heaven and earth are united into one. Right? What does that mean? It means that centering on the heart, you should tie your family like a steel castle, transcending a tribe, a people, a nation, and the world.

168

The question is not a tribe, nor people, nor race. If they can be united, the world can be one. (37-77)

169

What is "Chun" from "Chun-joo" ideology?

170

It is an ideology in which a person's mind and body become one with God, both internally and externally. In this case, the mind symbolizes heaven, and the body, earth.

171

Originally, in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, as individuals, should have had mind and body unity, and then they should have become one centered on God. By so doing, they would have built a God-centered family. God would have dwelt in their family.

172

Then, they would have become the root of hope for all humanity. But this original plan was shattered. As a result, while humans have been struggling in ignorance, God has been leading His providence for salvation until the Last Days.

173

Unification Thought teaches the standard of original life to humanity living in this era. For this reason, you are gathered here. (20-309)

174

The ideology that we are promoting is neither communism nor democracy. It is an ideology that is more important than that, which is the cosmic ideology. This ideology is the standard of the final hope and the final ideology that Adam and Eve needed to attain in the Garden of Eden.

175

Through this ideology, both God and humans can be united as one. That is, God and you can be one. Only when this is fulfilled will all the problems of the world be resolved. (20-310)

176

The question is how we can reach the position of a true person. Suppose that, with such an ability, we overcame all social vices and problems, and were able to achieve happiness in the position of subject, in which we can erect the standard of good.

177

Then, it will bring worldwide attention. Truly, this will become a historic event in the world. In this sense, the path that we shall be walking will draw attention from the world even after we enter the latter part of the 21st century. If not, I will make it so. This is the thought of this ideology. (21-18)

Unification Thought Is An Ideology That Pursues Communalism, Mutual Prosperity, And Righteous Justice

178

In the Unification Church, what does that mean to be saved through attendance? It is not alone eating, but with parents. Isn't it remarkable?

179

Even when you go sightseeing, you do not go alone, but with your parents. You must understand how great but fearful it is to live a life in the presence of heaven and earth. On the day when you come to realize this vividly, there will be no one who will not surrender or give up.

180

Those who truly believe with conviction through life experiences will never give up on anything. Even if they surrendered, because they should go back to the original principle, one cannot say that they fully surrendered.

181

For this reason, the Unification Church teaches us to experience the truth and surrender to it to the end. Then, you will not be conquered by anyone under the sun and thus will be saved through attendance.

182

That is why the Unification Church teaches people that we can be saved through the life of attendance. Do you understand? A religion with such conviction can go over any obstacles in the world.

183

From this perspective, you must understand how great Unification Thought is. What else could there be for humans to be grateful for other than this? This has been the hope of our ancestors. This is the hope that numerous men have been waiting for, and women have been waiting for.

184

Therefore, had such a man and a woman come together and established a family, they could have become a nuclear center that could be approved by the public.

185

The time when such a man and a woman can open a door to the new world with a heavenly heart will be when the Kingdom of Heaven for which we have been waiting in hope will start.

186

Then, finally, the last days of heaven and earth will begin from there, and a settlement point of purpose and hope that humans have been awaiting will be formed. When that time comes, an individual will not be able to insist on his or her views alone, saying that he or she is the best.

187

From then on, it will be a communal world. That is, that will be a world of communalism, mutual prosperity, and communal justice. That is why the Unification Church is teaching communalism, mutual prosperity, and communal righteousness. That world cannot be built alone. Do you understand? (24-298)

188

The world of communalism, mutual prosperity, and communal justice is the ideal world, the Kingdom of Heaven. That world can never be built alone. For this reason, that world is not a place where you can be alone.

189

When we talk about "I," we are implying that there is another party, subject, or object. There is also a family. This should not end just as a concept, but should be substantiated in actual life.

190

The world where it can be substantialized in reality is the world of the Kingdom of Heaven. Is it not so?

191

Ladies and gentlemen, are your left eye and right eye placed on the same level?

192

This is for mutual prosperity, living for one common purpose. Everything consists of such. We have two nostrils as well.

193

Yet, if one of them is clogged, do you feel pleasant or not? Likewise, what if the same happens to one of your ears? Would you be happy to be a disabled person or not? Suppose that one of your arms or legs was amputated. You will not be happy at all.

194

For this reason, all the existing beings are in a relationship of counterparts, proving the existence of heaven and earth. The maxim: "People's hearts are Heaven's heart. .is related to this. The terms parental love, conjugal love, and brother/sister love do not exist in the Western world.

195

Therefore, in terms of the heart, Oriental thought is one step higher than Western thought. And on that foundation, the Unification Church is crying out for communalism, mutual prosperity, and communal righteousness. Therefore, apart from this perspective, "I" cannot exist. We can never be victorious alone. This, you should know well.

196

Then, why are you asked to live for the church?

197

It is to make you grow more. Will it be good enough for you to become a captain in the family? To live for the church is to help you grow. The same goes for the nation, the world, heaven, and earth. It is all to help you grow more. To what extent? To the maximum level.

198

When I say that you should grow, I am not talking about physical growth, but internal maturity to a supreme degree. Then, you can finally become a son or daughter of God. From such a perspective, all of you must understand that we still have a long way to go ahead of us.

199

The starting point for this path was already set by the Unification Church. As you have already started, you should be able to arrive at the final destination.

200

For this reason, you are asked to go out witnessing for the nation, become a missionary of the world, or fight communists for the sake of heaven and earth, etc. At this point, I hope that you understand the value of yourself and live according to the will of God. (24-300)

Unification Thought will Endure

201

What is the final thought that will last until the end? Let us conclude. For the sake of the world, the movement or ideology that can love the world more than the nation, and the movement that can love God more than anything in the world, will remain until the end.

202

Therefore, the question is how an international movement that can transcend its country can be presented on the worldwide level, and how an "ism" can seek methods through which we can prepare Heaven or the world to freely go to places and love beyond people. (53-24)

203

Let us find out what is being done in the Unification Church. The Unification Church has a special connection to human history, with the truth that has never been discovered in the world of religions and cultures.

204

That is something that we alone have and something that we can be proud of, along with our history. What has been sought throughout the history of struggle? It is the truth and the haven of truth, the world of truth.

205

To find the haven of truth, the world of truth, based on the foundation of truth, a system of thought that can represent truth and that can realize the world of truth is required. That is what we have. Truly, that is an absolute truth.

206

At the place where this truth appears, Heaven will be brought together, and at the place where this truth travels, there will be no enemies. This truth is the final proclamation and the expression of final judgment. (64-254)

207

In the future, what is the ideology or thought that can inherit the world?

208

It is the one that teaches people to willingly sacrifice his or her nation to save the world.

209

When such a nation with such thought, or when a nation and a people that are centered on such a new movement are realized, a new world of hope will make an appearance in this world.

210

Thereupon, a new world of unification, an ideal world, will appear. A national view, a historical view that cannot transcend its nation, cannot inherit the ideal world of God. (51-64)

211

What is the thought that can bring all religions and ideas into one?

212

It is not a self-centered world view, but is a world-centered and all-nation-centered world view. This is a thought that can bring them to one purpose. This is not a world view that is only proud of its people in a position that is alienated from the world, but is a thought that loves humans themselves. Any human being looks for a world that is built with such a thought. (36,175)

213

Even if all humanity perishes and the entire human history changes, Unification Thought is something that they have no choice but to keep. And even if I perish as an individual and so does my own family, it is only appropriate to leave this thought behind. (79-226)

214

Because humans could not overcome the barrier of their nationalism, rather than marching towards the world of democracy, their lives became that of an intolerant man.

215

The same is applied to communism. It is now denying international communism, and has degraded to the level of national communism. In the future, it will continue to be degraded to the levels of tribe and family.

216

This is clear when seeing that the term "founderism" is constantly being repeated.

217

If an "ism" sacrifices its people and nation for the sake of the world, that is an "ism" of God.

218

That is the reason why God sacrificed His closest sons and daughters for the sake of the world. And that is the reason why Christianity has been building an altar of blood. Because God prepared a foundation to love the world by sacrificing His closest children, eventually, only Godism will remain. (126-236)

03Unificationism is a headwing Ideology

219

Headwing Ideology

220

You do not need to worry about how this world, entangled with complicated environments and circumstances, will become a world of goodness. In the fast-paced world where things are taking place in urgency and where the right and the left are in confrontation, your right foot is standing on the right wing, and your left foot on the left wing.

221

Your right hand is holding the right wing, and your left hand is holding the left wing. These are fighting against each other. When fighting, you do not hit the chest of your opponent, but his or her head. In such a case, you should not do so without God.

222

We, who are looking at such a world, should clarify the purpose of the fighting. It is not because humans want to fight. The leg of a compass goes around without even knowing the one who is turning it. The head of the compass is elsewhere. Humans only see the lines that are being drawn.

223

Therefore, such things keep on taking place in the last days. If God is present in all of those situations, we feel relieved. On the contrary, if God is not, we feel worried.

224

If God is there to mediate everything that is taking place, to achieve a certain purpose, and to resolve, He would have to lead the meeting to suit his purpose. Otherwise, we just cannot feel safe. If God is not there, we would be concerned, but if He is there, we shall have some time to think about the situation.

225

However, when God attempts to resolve problems, He always does it through people. If God could make His plan and execute it alone, He would not have needed to create humans.

226

God's will can never be done alone, but can always be done only through humans in the position of His object, thus connecting heaven and earth. Such is the principle.

227

Therefore, as long as God is alive, in the last days on the worldwide level, He would need people who are intimately connected to Him. Then what kind of people will they be? The question is how to resolve the problems between the supreme good, God, and the supreme evil, Satan. (10-197)

The Need for Headwing Ideology

228

Neither left-wing ideology nor right-wing ideology will work. Both in the left-wing world and the right-wing world, Cain and Abel came into being. Who can bring unity there?

229

The left-wing cannot do it, nor can the right-wing. Therefore, we can conclude that we need a movement through which a new, advanced right-wing type that can be supported by the left-wing, and a new, advanced left-wing type that can be supported by the right-wing, should be brought together.

230

That is why some mysteries of the olden days are necessary for the youth. Then we go over to the age in which we come to think, "Well, this humanism based on materialism is not good enough.

231

How wonderful it would be if God could be above it." When looking at the entire history of humankind, a God-centered ideology centering on the Vatican failed, and so did human-centered democracy.

232

The same is true for communism centered on materialism. Therefore, we came to think: "What about an international, inter-ideal world that combines God-centered ideology, humanism, and materialism?"

233

We need a system of thought in which all of these are combined, and at the same time, we need a way that can be harmonious with a religious system. That is, we need a thought, but we also need a religious ideology.

234

We need something God-centered that goes beyond something human. Humans alone cannot resolve problems. Humans will only fight among themselves. Hence, the worldwide political inclination is flowing in this direction.

235

For this, the Unification Church researched, and presents as an alternative: the Headwing ideology. Humans need a spirit, a body and material.

236

However, throughout human history, seen from a vertical perspective, by undergoing the ages of God-centered ideology led by spiritual leadership, body-centered humanism, and material-centered materialism, humans reached their limit. Then what can unify these? The body cannot unify spirit, nor can material bring unity to spirit through the body.

237

That task should be done through spirit. Mind should do that job. Then, what part of that mind can do it? The supreme mind and the supreme standard of spirit should be perfect. That mind should not be mine, but should be a system of thought that can go and operate beyond history.

238

It should be connected to God's providential age, transcending human history, but as a non-limited thought, not belonging to a limited thought system. That thought also should not be time-limited, but should transcend time. Nor should it be a thought that seeks an ideal centered on physical life, but rather a thought that seeks an ideal centered on eternity.

239

Through this, it is only logical for us to conclude that a standard that can finally bring us, thinking people, to settle in peace, can come about. From this view, the most serious question that we are faced with is how we can connect humanism that represents a body and God-centered ideology, such as religion, that represents the spirit.

240

In other words, the question is how we can connect humanism and religions. Otherwise, secular humanism or nationalism, for example, America or France, that promotes its own country to be the best, cannot be overcome.

241

Through this, what conclusion do we arrive at?

242

Communism should absorb the idealism that accepts spirit, and humanism should also pursue world-ism or an ism that is higher than that, transcending a nation, and religions should also transcend their denominations and participate in harmonizing all humanity, by bringing them to one religion for all humankind, not for religions themselves.

243

Without such content, we cannot cope with and resolve the world's problems. That is why it will be natural to say that an ideology that can deal with and resolve such issues, being connected to the supreme spirit, that is to say, the Headwing ideology, will be necessary. (162-100)

Left-wing, Right-wing, and Headwing

244

These days, Father often speaks about a head due to the Headwing issue. When we talk about the Headwing, centered on God, that is, centered on the head, we are saying that it is connected to all limbs of the human body through all nerve systems.

245

Where did the right-wing and left-wing ideas originate from?

246

They came from the right thief and the left thief with Jesus at the center. From the viewpoint of the Principle, we understand that it started from the foundation of the providence for restoration through indemnity, centered on the historical separation of Cain and Abel.

247

Also, even if the right wing embraced the entire world of democracy, if a left hand does not cover it or become one with it as its partner, it cannot embrace the left wing. This, we must understand. (162-97)

248

Although both the right and the left are exhausted, as long as the head is right and the spine is straight, once normal energy is applied and a direction is set, hands and legs will start to move. It is only natural.

249

That is why Father is talking about the new term, "Headwing," these days. We can understand this when thinking of Jesus. The term right-wing" originated from the time of Jesus to start a process of separation from the national level to the worldwide level, and the terms right-wing and left-wing were created.

250

From there, the right-wing and the left-wing came to bear fruit worldwide. They are, however, fighting, divided into the right and the left. Who comes there? It is the Lord of the Second Advent. (163-168)

251

The Unification Church is working on a movement to unify thought. When we talk about the right-wing and the left-wing, we are talking about wings.

252

But is the head from the Headwing a wing?

253

No. As the left refers to the left side and the right refers to the right side, when we talk about "Headwing," we are talking about the head. That started with Jesus. Jesus started the providence of separation for the world on the cross.

254

Centered on Jesus, the world was divided into three realms: the right thief, the left thief, and Barrabas. Another one that should be added is Satan's realm. In the last days, there will be the right and the left like this, and like Jesus, a head will be here, and Barrabas will be here.

255

What is Barrabas?

256

It is neither the Communist world nor the democratic world, but the Islamic world. It is not a religious group, nor is it a political group. Such is the Islamic world and the Barrabas civilization. Do you understand?

257

It will benefit more, as the right-wing and the leftwing fight more aggressively. That is why the Middle East problems cannot be resolved among them. It can be resolved only through the Lord of the Second Advent.

258

Since the last days were to come, the world has been divided into the right and the left, and the Third World, and Barrabas' world also came into being. Then what is the third world? It is the foot-wing. The foot-wing.

259

People say that the feet are the ugliest. They live such a carefree life. This is the world of the dark. This cannot be resolved by humans. It cannot be either a man or a woman.

260

Then, can it be done by God?

261

It cannot be done by God alone either. Only the realization of God's love that is His ideal can make it possible.

262

If God truly exists, a new religion should come with love that represents such thoughts from the right-wing, the left-wing, the third world, and the Barrabas world, with an ideology of love that can transcend time and space throughout human history and unify all religions of the world, even with the world of science, and should initiate a movement that can achieve the realization of such love.

263

Only through it will there be hope for humans in the last days. Otherwise, there will be nothing but despair and destruction for all existing beings and humanity. (166-55)

Headwing Ideology is that of the Parents

264

Presently, democracy and communism are the thoughts (sa sang) of the right and the left.

265

What are the thoughts of the right and the left?

266

They are from Cain and Abel. But a new thought that should come from the Orient is a thought of parents.

267

Centering on parents and centering on Asia, the right and the left should be united.

268

This is called the Headwing ideology. By so doing, if one says to both of them, "You are wrong for this," they should be able to say, "Correct."

269

And if the former says, "You'd better listen to me," the latter should be able to answer, "Yes." That is all we need. It is simple. In other words, if they agree to follow their parents since their parents' views are better than their own, that is all that matters.

270

Next, even though we have the parents, we have the differences of opinion between the North and the South. Well, they are brothers.

271

If the East and the West, in the positions of communism and democracy, listen to their parents, the problems between the North and the South will be resolved within a short time. It is because if parents call them and give them direction as to what they need to do, it is natural for them to say, "As you please, mother and father." (168-81)

272

As you are already aware, today, Western civilization is the one that is centered on the third son of Noah, Japheth, among the three sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. This we should understand.

273

Why was the third son blessed?

274

It is because Shem failed to fulfill his mission. That is why Western culture is governing the world. This is for sure. The third son has been controlling the world.

275

However, he took things from yellow people in Asia and black people in Africa. Thus, he failed to bring unity among them.

276

Yet, from the providential viewpoint, Korea is, as a third child, given a mission to bring unification to the world by forming the general cultural sphere. Brothers alone cannot bring unity among themselves. Then who can do it? It can be done when their parents come.

277

The unification is possible only with parental love, which surpasses brotherly love. For this reason, in the Unification Church, we are proud of the True Parents, of their love, and of being children of the True Parents. [Applause.]

278

Even of brotherly love. By so doing, can we resolve problems between the white and the black? The yellow are in the position of the first son, the black (in the position of) the second son, and the white (in the position of) the third son, and they are fighting. Yet Korea can unite them through Unification Thought.

279

Through this, an ideal nation, the fatherland, centered on God, will be established.

280

Thereupon, in the world of peace, one unified world, and the world of victory will finally embark, and centered on God, the Kingdom of Heaven will be eventually built on earth and in heaven.

281

This is the mission of the Unification Church members, and they need to live for this and fulfill this. This, we should clearly understand. Only on such a foundation, by becoming one with the Parents, will life in the Kingdom of Heaven, with peace on earth will begin. (79-83)

Godism and Unificationism

282

Now, what we should uphold is the Headwing, not the left-wing or the right-wing.

283

Then what is the Headwing?

284

It is under Godism. That is what you should understand. Under Godism, the Headwing exists.

285

Because Godism is added on top of the Headwing, through the spirit world, and the Headwing of the earthly world, they are completely connected. That is why the word, Headwing, is needed for humanists whose life is based on materialism.

286

They cannot oppose once they are presented with the Headwing as their substitute.

287

Next, what is Godism?

288

If religious people are confronted with Godism, they cannot dispute. These two words, "Godism" and the "Headwing" a, are extremely persuasive to two different types of people: religious people and secular people. This, you should understand.

289

From now on, one of the most powerful words that we can proclaim to society is " Headwing." That is a body-centered ideology and is necessary for humans to live in this world. Then, what is Godism?

290

It is an ideology that is based on the spirit. If questioned regarding Unificationism, it makes these two, the Headwing and Godism, into one, making a wholesome person. For this, a clear distinction should be made. Therefore, the Unificationist should be welcomed before God while living on earth, and also, wherever they go, in whatever position or situation they may be, they should be able to cope.

291

How can unification be achieved?

292

You now understand Headwing and Godism. Right? [Yes.] You also understand Unificationism. You bring unification through the true spirit of God. That is logical. Why?

293

Since humans came from the origin, God, as a motivation for the subject being, to bring total unity, we should connect that origin to our physical body. Otherwise, we can conclude that such unity is not complete. (162-104)

The Role and Mission of the Unification Church

294

What is the Unification Church?

295

Where is it heading, embracing both the right and the left? Its purpose is to guide people to the world of happiness, which transcends the struggles of the world. Then, you should not live only a two-dimensional life.

296

Even if it comes down vertically, all of this should go together. Even if this is done like this, it should be able to go further. What that means is that the Unification Church should be equipped with a theoretical system that can restore all of the failures that were brought by other ideological and thought systems of the past.

297

But at the same time, it should embrace them and move them horizontally. By so doing, from the vertical standard centered on religions, it should also pursue an inter-substantial being based on the foundation of spiritual experiences that can be mobilized.

298

Unification Thought should theorize systematically both human-centered humanism and material-centered materialism from humanistic views and all God-centered ideologies from the past to the present, with a content that can unify all of them.

299

At the same time, from a vertical perspective, it should become an inter-natural religious thought that can be experienced and can connect religious denominations, transcending them.

300

This we must understand. What do I mean by that? First, it means that we should become a person who can be told by materialists and communists: "That Unification Church member is more committed to their work than we, communists.

301

Further, so are they internally in terms of their character and conscience. The Communist Party needs someone like him or her."

302

Second, we should also be told by secular humanists, "We wish to have someone like him or her in our world as well." Third, we should be told by Christians, "Wow! The Unification Church members are remarkable people, although they do not belong to our denomination.

303

I wish we could have such a person in our church." Fourth, we should be told by God as well: "Truly, this person is someone whom I need, no matter what." That is, we should become a person who meets all qualifications in these four aspects.

304

Then, all problems will be solved. Such a person can be complimented by the communist world, by the secular humanists, by the denominationists, and even in the spirit world.

305

Since no one who lived on earth and passed away has gone through such a process, they can be proud even in the spirit world. What does that mean? It means that such a person has a perfect brain, perfect feet, perfect hands, and perfect internal organs.

306

Throughout human history, if there is a museum for a perfect man and a perfect woman to be chosen and exhibited, such a type of man and woman will be chosen only from among Unification Church members. We can digest communists. We can digest secular humanism, Christianity, and even God. With what? With true love. With true love. (162-102)

307

Since the Unification Church belongs to the Headwing, it can control both the right-wing and the left-wing. In the secular world, there is no Headwing. That is why the two sides are fighting. (181-245)

308

The right is right-wing, and the left is left-wing. They are fighting. Right? But now, they should become one, centered on Rev. Moon. The same goes with Russia and the U.S.A. The Headwing thought comes from this.

309

"Yoo" in Chinese characters means ad. To become a head, centered on God, it should be connected here. If these two worlds of mind and body are connected, centered on love, everything will be finished. (164-191)

Unification Thought Embraces the World

310

What is Unification Thought?

311

As to the fundamental questions of the universe, there are two schools of thought: historical materialism and historical spiritualism.

312

Therefore, Unification Thought has been systematized as a means to seek an answer to the question and to resolve this problem. We should understand that this is a thought that was newly organized and systematized to present a new world view and a new philosophy of life. (165-337)

313

Today, centered on the different thoughts of both camps, democracy and communism, we see that world views on history are crossing each other. Under the circumstances, we are in a position where we cannot hope for anything, nor can we trust in anything.

314

However, with content that can critique this and present an alternative, Unification Thought can stand in a position that can show hope to all humanity on a higher level.

315

Therefore, with this thought, we should go over democracy and communism. Even the barriers that cannot be overcome by democracy and communism should be overcome by Unification Church members. (49-91)

316

Unification Thought came to present two missions to fulfill: to awaken the world of religions and thoughts worldwide to their unity. Unification Thought does not take a vague position. It is going towards the vertical direction, centering on God. What is that vertical direction? It is the foundation of the heart. (51-70)

317

What will be the thought that can become a historical core, a time-era core, and a future core? In other words, what will be at the center of the worldwide thought that can become the historical fruit when viewing history, the center of the time era, when viewing the time era, and the origin of the future, when viewing the future? It is a true man and a true woman.

318

Then what is their view of life?

319

It is to live a fruitful life for the world. The reason for the two to love each other is for the sake of the world, and the reason why they have children is also to create a motivation to love the world more deeply. Such is the ideal that we are now striving to realize.

320

I am not sure whether you know such content in detail, but as far as I know, when viewing the world both from horizontal and vertical perspectives, we conclude that history must be explained from such a standard. (25-147)

321

Where is the world going from now on?

322

Communism is wrong, and so is democracy. Now the only home that we have is Godism alone. I started a dreamlike mission about 40 years ago.

323

When looking back after working hard on it, I see myself standing on the summit of the world. I laid the foundation so that people cannot accomplish a worldwide task unless they go through the Unification Church.

324

The same is applied to the Republic of Korea. The same goes for the education of leadership. They appeared to be so inspired with a sense of righteousness, studying books and taking notes for five hours.

325

Whoever saw the scene could not help but be moved. Even if their head was made out of raw steel, it is supposed to be melted. If they are the same humans as we are, they will respond to us.

326

Father has been accomplishing a mission that no one could ever do in the past, despite the countless persecutions on the cross throughout his life. There are three ideologies in the world: Communism, Democracy, and Godism. Among those three, democracy is the right-wing, and therefore, it should be carried on the right side.

327

On the other hand, since communism is the left wing, it should be carried by the left hand. And if it is swung around once, everything should be finished. Then, does Godism have such power to hold both democracy and communism and swing them around once?

328

Rev. Moon does not have such power, but God does. Nevertheless, Rev. Moon's foundation is so strong that it cannot be separated from God, as God is going around. (11/2/86)

329

To catch many thousands of fish at a time, you should throw a net, keeping it loose until many of them flock together. Then you pull and roll the net. Such is Father's strategy. If you do it, all the fish inside the net are supposed to be pulled to God. Everyone is supposed to go to God. (4/3/83)

330

Father's idea is that if, centering on Unification Thought and the Unification Church, if worldwide economy, worldwide mass communication, and worldwide universities are moved, the entire world will be moved as well. (196-257)

331

The confrontation between the Communist world and the free world is, in short, a confrontation of ideology. It is a confrontation of philosophy, and ultimately, a confrontation of ideology and thought.

332

If God truly exists, atheism is a lie, and if God does not exist, materialism becomes the truth. Both of these ideologies, which have different views as to the existence of God, cannot be true.

333

One of them will be false, leaving only one to be the truth. For this reason, we who believe in the existence of God should be able to see real evidence of His existence in our daily life and know Him as a God who cannot be defeated by the world.

334

The ideology that denies the existence of God can be overcome only through clear evidence that can prove His existence. Then, the matter of Communism will be destroyed on its fundamental basis. The movement that started with such a mission is the Unification Movement in the Unification Church. (10/8/82)

335

The Unification Movement, which was initiated by the Unification Church, attempts to bring solutions to the problems of the world and humanity. First, the Unification Movement is a movement that can bring an aggressive solution to the issues raised by Communism.

336

For this to be done, the free world should first have a spiritual realization and repentance. Based on this spiritual realization and repentance, all solutions for human problems will be derived.

337

Second, the Unification Movement is a movement that attempts to establish a foothold through which all religions of the world can help each other and cooperate.

338

All religions of the world should be united as one power in the faith of God. The original mind of humans is to recognize God, our creator, and the Father of all humanity. From attending to one God as the Father of all humanity, one Unification Family can be realized.

339

Third, the Unification Movement is a movement to build a moral world. This is rather important for today's youth. Since there is no absolute standard of morality, immorality is prevalent.

340

An avaricious and selfish lifestyle in which they seek their self-interest, disregarding whatever happens to others, even using others for their own sake, is encouraged and is rampant.

341

If this continues, our society shall not be able to avoid self-destruction. For the sake of building a world of goodness, the absolute standard of morality cannot be seen apart from the creator, God, based on His views on the right values, because He is the only one who is eternal and unchanging.

342

He is not a conceptual God, but should dwell within us every day. If all men and women of the world are always living with God in communication with Him, there can be no immorality. This is a solemn truth.

343

In front of truth, lies are dissolved, and even if the lies are supported by a great political power, financial power, and social power, in the end, that power will not be able to overcome truth.

344

Even though communism is now powerful and influential, since it is not based on the truth, the day when communism will be destroyed will arrive. (10/5/82)
