The false parents' betrayal of the heavenly principle of love has brought ruin. Since the True Parents have reversed that, we have been able to return to our original hometown. The age has dawned in which all accounts will be settled, and we may once again travel together on the proper course. Everything will see its end.

2

Everything, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Confucianism, will come to an end, as will politics. So, by bringing all these together, I have established the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace (IRFWP) for the sphere of religion and the Federation for World Peace (FWP) for the political sphere.

3

The divided mind is being made one, and its worldwide fruits are being harvested.

4

Upon what basis are they being harvested?

5

Based on the love of True Parents. True parent, true teacher, and true owner are the essence of the Three Subjects Principle. With this three-subject philosophy, even prominent people in the world are certain to kneel before me, saying, “Please teach us!”

6

The politicians of the world who used to claim to be owners and false owners all have some connection with me. The Three Subjects Principle refers to me.

01Then, where is it that I live?

7

I do not stand only in the teacher's position or only in the owner's position. Even the president of a university returns home as a parent in the evening, and even the president of Korea returns to the Blue House. Even the one who commands the royal courtiers must go home to sleep, and there he becomes a father, a parent.

8

When we see these things, we realize that parents are the center. The school is based on parents, and the position of owner is based on parents. Everyone may go out, but they will eventually return to their parents. The place where you can live without having to return is the place where your parents are.

9

That is how it works with all things involving true love. The saying that the king, the teacher, and the parents are equal has its basis there. I am now conveying a true teaching to you. This is why I am the best of all teachers.

10

Among rulers, there has been none who ruled with love. This is why your mind's and body's desire to live forever resonates with me and the way I am going. Those who rove the Unification Church and those in the Unification Church who have the heart to love God, love humankind, and love the fundamental essence of human beings are unable to leave me.

11

This is because I have the heart of a parent, the heart of a teacher, and the heart of an owner. Through me, you can become parents, you can become owners, and you can become teachers.
