In essence

  1. 소명적인 책임 · Somyeongjeok-in Chaegim — The calling-bound responsibilityBehind every life Father has touched lie thousands of millions of others whose destinies are bound to that single soul’s answer to its calling.
  2. 한 분밖에 없는 임 · Han Bunbakke Eomneun Im — The one and only MasterSpoken quickly, “the one and only Master” becomes “Hananim” — the Korean tongue itself confesses that there is only one Lord and that He is Father to the Han people.
  3. The grafting cannot failA graft takes only when the cutting comes from a pine to a pine, a juniper to a juniper — God’s restoration runs by the same botanical law that no rotten state can override.
  4. The kindling matters more than the woodpileA mountain of firewood will not burn without one piece of kindling and a single match — the awakening of a nation depends on who carries the small flame.
  5. The spirit world is already oneConfucius, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, the founders of the five great religions, every American president, Stalin and Mao — all have been re-educated by Unification truth and now wait on earth to act.
  6. CIA and KGB are surpassableA new information corps trained in Las Vegas is to stand publicly above both Cold War intelligence agencies as Heaven’s own network of envoys.
  7. Distribute the 430 volumesHand out ten, fifty, a hundred volumes of the autobiography a day and manage the recipients like brothers — lineage liberation begins with the page that enters the home.
  8. 286 surnames, ten clans enoughKorea has 286 surname-clans, but liberating ten of them already reaches tens of millions — the math of tribal messiahship is small enough to be done.
  9. 흥신소 · Heungsinso — The Faith-Quickening OfficeWhat the world calls a private investigation bureau, Father reads as the office where excited faith ripens into harvested fruit through the laborers of Heaven.
  10. Three years, then thirtyThe tribulation lasts three years if humanity moves now, but stretches to thirty if it does not — nothing is more dreadful than a delayed exit from this hour.

Central Training Center, Guri, Gyeonggi, Korea

2

We have entered the era of great tribulation. “Who is to take responsibility for the lives of these people being sacrificed? I have liberated God; if you are in a position that accords with the way of liberation, you must become my witness.

3

Will you take responsibility, or will you not?” — and the reply is, “Do not worry about taking responsibility. I know that path as much as anyone. I know it more than ten times over — do not worry! Cleanly settle the duty that is yours to do.”

4

The answer to the secret method of cleanly settling it is this. What is this? It is the teaching material.

01The Korean people are a people that attends the one and only Lord-Master

5

My grandfather knew the history of Christianity well. He said, “In our household, there is no one to hope in but you.” He meant that all the others had become empty husks. “Until the very path you walk, there is not a single person who will lift a flag for you.

6

As you see me now shedding tears and in misery, how will you endure and pass through?” — So saying, my grandfather seized me, the unknowing child, and gave his exhortation through tears. I cannot forget him. His figure appears before me even now.

7

If I continue to think of that grandfather, I am moved to weep aloud. I am not a person who ever wants to show such things outwardly. Even if one becomes a patriot, can one go forth before his people and boast of his patriotic tradition?

8

Until now, there has been no foundation of a nation upon which one could boast, nor any foundation of the Moon clan. There was not one person who could stand for me.

9

There is no famous person I do not know. I visited every revival preacher in Korea. I met all those who carried on spiritual works.

10

So, centered on a woman called Kang Hyeon-sil, I made her suffer so that she could bear witness that what I was saying was not a lie. She was the twenty-two-year-old daughter of Elder Kang of the Presbyterian Church, and having received a revelation from Heaven, she came forward of her own accord. Having come forward thus, she was one who, with the fluency of flowing water, could move a thousand or ten thousand to tears.

11

It was because of Heaven's direction that we met. The point was that she was to open her mouth and clearly testify whether True Father was a bad man or a good man. I went about pioneering, resolved upon death. To testify to all such things, there is no time.

12

So I have a few representative people speak to use it as medicine, a compounded remedy by which the young can be awakened.

13

A few of the officers boast of themselves — but where is there anything to boast of beyond me?

14

When I do not boast, is there something for them to boast of? I know all that history; I know plainly what their ancestors did — yet I think to use it as a stimulant by which the young people can be awakened.

15

I have known from long ago that the Korean people are a people that attends the one and only Lord-Master. Try saying it: "The one and only Lord!” “The one and only Lord!” Said quickly, it becomes Hananim — God. That God becomes the Father of the Korean people and their Seed. I have known this.

16

I had said that only those up to age thirty-eight who were graduate-school alumni should gather, but they say there are no graduate-school graduates among us. I understand that 288 or 289 people are gathered here. I thought, “Ah, had there been a foundation like the present one fifty years ago, tens of thousands would have gathered.” What is “Reverend Moon, founder of a religion”? Do not boast.

17

What achievement has been made?

18

It is nothing. If the nation wants to crush me, I am set to sink under the water. It is a nation that cannot even act as the substitute of the archangel who might lift me and blow the trumpet from on high.

19

Presidents and cabinet ministers have passed by, but none of them knew how to blow the trumpet. They tried to use me. I let myself be used a great deal — yet they did not invite me to a funeral or to the wedding of a son or daughter. Such was the cold treatment I received. With this faction that remains, what must be done?

20

Since they are smoldering without burning up, I light the charcoal and make it so that the fire can catch upon them. So I had hoped they would become ripe persimmons of kindled light, but they have not become ripe persimmons.

21

Of all the people I told to meet so-and-so and do such-and-such, there is not one who did as I said.

02A crucial process in the Providence of Restoration

22

The Gangwon Province group has come! Introduce yourself. (Park Won-geun reports: “…From January 15 through February 12, I met about 200 Korean expatriates and Korean church pastors, delivered True Father's autobiography, and bore witness to True Father before returning. At a certain juncture, I wrote a letter together with the autobiography to President Lee Myung-bak and sent it from Las Vegas to the Blue House.”)

23

You must do such work. You must do it without regard to saving face. Dying is not the issue, dignity is not the issue, and the household is not the issue. One's own academic credentials and renown — these in themselves are of no use to God. They are a calamity.

24

Even if it means “I will be dropped from the workplace where I am employed,” you must do it. Even True Father cast aside the whole nation and went forth stripped bare. I have made it so that you can have food to eat and a family to live in — will you continue this way?

25

What will you do with a rotten spirit?

26

Before you, there is no nation but such a nation, a rotten nation. To do grafting, one takes the branch of a pine or a Korean pine — a branch from a tree whose needles have not fallen — and attaches it to a root. The method by which this can be done is a crucial process in God's Providence of Restoration — yet they do not know it at all.

27

If, following spring, summer, autumn, and winter, you cut a branch from the tree that can be the model of the orchard, graft it, and raise it as you would raise your child, a bud emerges from it. I have done this.

28

So I know that the seed is not bad. The only place where the one and only Lord-Master is attended, and where the seedbed of that Lord-Master can be made, is Korea. I cannot tell you how much I have emphasized this from boyhood.

29

My fate is harsh; however, I might flee, but I could not escape that gorge. There are not just one or two hooks but eight hooks. The point was, “Even I could not escape—how will you escape? Cooperate with me! Then even if you cannot become my son, you can become my servant or my friend or even a relative by marriage; otherwise, anyone of the kin.

30

You must become at least the errand runner who carries out that work in my stead.” “Then let us go together until that time.” So I have come this far.

31

What is the secret method by which to solve this?

32

In this new era, what is True Father's secret method? Have you read yesterday's prayer? I prayed for everything in it. Not one thing was left out. You must memorize it fluently and interpret it.

33

Pyeong Hwa Gyeong is composed as a conclusion centered on the content of the textbook and teaching materials of the one and only God. What is to be done now is all there.

34

It takes thirteen minutes to read the address of the sixth day of the first month. When holding a rally, one cannot speak for nine, ten, or thirteen hours and more. I compressed it to thirteen minutes — and everything is there. There is not a single one who asks me about it. They said, “Teacher, things like this cannot be,” and I said, “If they cannot be, then leave it. I will remain.” With that, I have come.

03One must know how the world stands

35

Our sons and daughters, too, could have graduated from Harvard and risen in the world. Even before graduating, they were offered salaries from 140,000 to 170,000 dollars. “Father, how shall I do? I know that I should go this way, but the Unification Church itself has no hope.” “

36

If the Unification Church itself has no hope, does the Father also have no hope?” “I shall have to see about you, Father.” It is a fitting answer. I have never held my sons and daughters before me, as I do with you, and educated them.

37

I have never sat down and laid my circumstances before them in speech. Had such a thing happened, the root of the Unification Church would not have come into being.

38

They cannot discern the color of the tree. I alone, before dying, must do this work. The people have closed their eyes and become as one with cataracts — and I must make teaching materials by which their eyes can be opened.

39

True Father has spoken many words over the years, and now he is ninety-one. I am one who began this work at fourteen. When famous people held revival meetings, I went anywhere and assessed them. They were all unusable people. There was no one to use.

40

So I came thus far, saying, “Even if I alone must take responsibility, in accordance with God's promise, I shall go alone!” I have made an autobiography, and through a first, second, and third installment, it should come out to twelve volumes and more. I said, “Even if I am cursed by the world, this is the only path I can walk; if I walk this path, I shall survive.” I have lived biting my tongue so as not to leave a stain upon the name of the True Parents.

41

You too—be honest and upright. Before coming to this place, True Father did not sleep even an hour. Does sleep come when one lies down? What words shall I speak? Shall I offer praise?

42

When I praise, I do it well. I am one who, staying up through the night, encourages, praises, and listens to people's words.

43

While listening to the parents' words, how many nights have you stayed up? Whatever doctorate or scholarly certificate the nation has publicly acknowledged has no connection with me. I am not their errand runner.

44

I have made every kind of teaching textbook by which anyone can be educated.

45

How much of these materials is needed?

46

When you see the teaching material, am I one who shall pass away or one who shall remain? I shall remain eternally. He must remain eternally. There is content that will remain eternally, content that can awaken. The autobiography is my confession. So do not let it leave your hand; stack it into every chamber of your marrow.

47

Even the swallow makes a truly elegant nest. Going to South America, I saw an anthill, and it was built like a fortress. “Ah, even the sons and daughters of our Unification Church, who are to build a fortress for the sake of the nation, must do it ten times better than the ant's fortress!” — So I looked upon it. But there is no one who says he will. At the slightest difficulty, they say, “Teacher, I shall have to quit. I need money. I must go to school.”

48

I went to Japan and did not even study for one year. The period was two years and six months, but that was not the point. Such things I could grasp instantly. One must know how the world stands. Living in the world, even if one cannot become the friend or accomplice of an evil person, one must have the leadership ability to teach them.

49

I was a ssireum wrestler and a soccer player. I was also a champion in fighting. About these teeth that have fallen out, I do not speak. About prison life, I do not speak either.

50

Even now, I cannot forget. My blood boils. I must, even up to the moment of dying, pour it forth and teach and go. To go to the spirit world without having done this will not do.

51

It is my responsibility to set the spirit world straight; my responsibility is to be able to guide it once I go there — so how can I go to the spirit world without having established the condition upon earth? I live saying, “You cannot take me, Father!”

52

When my legs hurt, I pray, “You wretch! Who is going to make you walk the thousand-ri expedition to your hometown? These legs must go!” — and then the spirit people come and hold me up.

53

There was not one or two times that I collapsed on the road or while crossing a mountain ridge. But because I cannot deny the history of being so protected, even past the age of ninety, I am here, forgetting the time when others may rest, playing this game. God is many times more pitiful than this.

54

So I, more than anyone, volunteer to suffer more than the Father and walk any path.

04A kindling for the stimulant is needed

55

Do you love True Father or long for him?

56

“We love.” Then try loving. Even when one looks at husbands, fathers, the president of the nation, or the meritorious subjects of the nation, there is in him a banner of love that cannot be found in them — of this much there is no doubt. And the name “True Parents” is what I hated most. I thought, “Can there be such a thing as True Parents?”

57

Before my thirties, before the age of twenty-eight, all my preparation was finished. By thirty, the preparation by which to receive the nation and lead it was all complete. All this I spoke of then. Look. It is not something I am saying now. It is what I said before age thirty. How greatly I must have suffered.

58

A young bachelor, I suffered without even marrying. I married at twenty-five. At that time, many married at sixteen. There were all manner of factions around me, but I listened to no one. When Heaven said, “The time has come — prepare!” I prepared instantly.

59

Are the teaching materials needed, or not?

60

“They are needed.” When I close my eyes, those who say they are not needed, raise your hand. Those who need them, raise the right hand; those who do not, raise the left hand. Put your hands down.

61

Cain and Abel were told to become brothers, were they not?

62

Good and evil were told to become brothers. Even going to the Satanic world, one must do the work of a king. These days, I often hear that True Father should become the president of the Republic of Korea. Had I been in an environment to hear such words in my youth, I would have done it all then.

63

Then who will untie the painful tale of seventy lost years?

64

I lost the prime of my youth. The historical tradition of such True Parents is not always present. If I lie down now, I may go at that hour. When I was admitted to the hospital this time, I went with such resolve. “If it does not suit my heart, I will go.”

65

I have made every teaching textbook. So if I remain on the earth from now on, what would I do? There has been no fence by which today's young people could be raised with tears.

66

So I prepared an economic foundation and a foundation of the nation, by which you can play the role of father and mother. Because there was that foundation, victorious through Heaven's merit, the people remain, and the church remains. From now on, the church will vanish, and the nation will vanish.

67

I must announce it before next year. In place of national assemblymen of the country, becoming candidates for assemblymen of the Unification Church, let us work together for three years in the position of an errand-running servant or adjutant.

68

The question is, who is the teacher, and who becomes the responsible figure? There are world-renowned people, people who command attention in Korea. At the mention of their name, they are known at once.

69

Seven years ago, True Father called such a man and spoke with him. I told him to draw up and report the names of 2,800 figures known worldwide, since there are acquaintances and friends of religious bodies in every nation.

70

Why did I do that?

71

I thought we must revive the Republic of Korea. But when I went to set my hand to it, there was not one such person. To be content with that, to think of bringing it to an end there, was outrageous.

72

So three years ago, saying he could not do it, he left. I am bringing forward the substitute to do that work.

73

I should rest rather than stand and speak more. Shall I keep standing and continue, or shall I not? “Please rest.” Those who want me to rest, raise your hands. What grateful people! Most of those in the back, not knowing what I was saying, did not raise their hands. Therefore, a kindling for the stimulant by which to awaken those who do not know is needed.

74

The oak tree, once the fire catches it well, is fearsome. I have experimented with all such things. I do not know how greatly I loved trees. I would gaze upon a great tree, and if there was a bird's nest in it, I would make it so that the nest could be protected. Within three weeks, the young hatch and fly away. Until that time, the nest must not be destroyed.

05A multitude that can make a flower garden is needed

75

So, I have told the Unification Church members to save the nation — what will remain?

76

Do you think anything can remain?

77

People who originally could not remain are to be made into people who can remain. The one who, knowing the fearsome principle of being a younger brother who saves Cain, has so offered his life is the True Parents, the Father.

78

I dislike the name “Father.” I have seen many women weep streams of tears when, putting Mother forward, I gave them stern discipline. Must I continue this game, unable to love a wife as a husband should love her? I dislike it. I dislike it, but someone must do it.

79

If I do not, then if among my descendants, even of some generation, such a mother is not raised, the house of Moon must also vanish. Because the theory is so, there is no helping it.

80

Knowing such a True Father, with a heart of renewed repentance, hoping that you become princes and princesses of submission, I am watching — those who welcome this, raise your hands high and applaud. (Applause.) I ask that you resolve to become princes and princesses who hold up Heaven, attend it, and love it. That is True Father's one thought, and I see it as the flower of the purpose for which I have made the teaching materials.

81

After three years, how many of those flowers will have bloomed?

82

How much seed will the flowers blooming in that field be able to gather? A multitude is needed that, sown in any garden, can carry on the history of the True Parents who raise the people of the heavenly kingdom and make a garden of flowers. Before I go, I have completed that preparation. It took thirty years.

83

Because the material was needed for those thirty years, walking that path without complaint, I have come to this point. Now the time of going has entered the dominion of an era in which the days can be counted.

84

The achievements I have set in place are needed upon the earth and needed in Heaven. The period in which conditions can be set upon the earth is the next three years. Even before then, if I pray, I go at once.

85

The people for whom I have prayed — I asked them to put things in order. If they do not do as I said, I must do all the ordering myself and then go. Having put it all in order, I go and must re-educate those people. There is the path of the descendants remaining. Is True Father, who lives this way, worth your sympathy, or is he not? “He is.”

86

So it is with mothers and fathers and with anyone who loves his country. The only thing of which there can be no doubt — and you must know this when you go to that other world — is that True Father is working as the representative figure of a banner, striving to raise sons and daughters who can revere the one and only God and to make them His heirs and His representatives.

87

So even when you go to that other world and say, “I was such-and-such — why am I here?” they will say, “Ah, is that so? Let us look.” Press the button, and the answer comes out at once. “He is caught upon such-and-such a condition.”

88

Knowing such a fearsome background, my point is to make you not be caught up in it and to make you people who can bear up in Heaven and attend and love God. (Yu Jong-yeong reports on the providence in Malaysia.)

89

A word. What time is it now? “It is 7:10.” So it is not yet 8. Hoon Dok Hae will go for fifteen minutes. This is needed. There must be kindling that can start the fire, and if there is no match, one's own fundamental ability to make even a candle flame must be there, or everything is in vain. Even with firewood piled like a mountain, you cannot light the fire. You must know that kindling and a match are needed.

90

We, Unification Church members, all know the skill of starting a fire. The life that can move others is only living for the sake of others. So the banner is clear and simple. It is to live for the sake of others.

91

Therefore, even though one has been to university, one wears a hat in the manner of a lowly fellow and goes and becomes a friend of the laborers, and at night goes and teaches them to read. He teaches reading to those who have not completed middle or high school. He teaches Chinese characters; he teaches English.

92

As he does so, his eyes open, and as the course unfolds, the very people there come to feel that one who had seemed nothing has had a great influence upon them. (Park Won-geun reports on the activities in Las Vegas.)

06One must think upon the mission-bound responsibility for the Will

93

The time has gone on too long! Let us extend the Hoon Dok Hae time by thirty minutes. Now then, let us begin, Hoon Dok Hae. Two persons—Yang Chang-sik and Ju Dong-mun — representing the rest, speak of your testimonial content at the end of the public time. You must know it. The elder brothers and sisters have done such-and-such; the ancestors have done such-and-such — and for us to do such work and for our descendants to do it, living testimony is needed.

94

So those in high office, many of them,them must present testimonial content. We will publish them in volumes hereafter.

95

In the autobiography, taking up precious topics, you must teach where the spirit and soul of the people, on a national scale, is flowing. Is that not the mission-bound conclusion of those of us who have been entrusted with the propagation of the autobiography?

96

Do not use this for your advancement and renown. You must think upon the mission-bound responsibility for the Will. Those who have served as members of the National Assembly or who have held offices greater than that — I ask that, representing the dignity of the state, you frankly leave behind, before our young people, many foundational discourses, and traditional accounts before returning home.

97

For that reason, I have made plain even this matter — the activities in Las Vegas, the matter of the base. Do not think it a coincidence. The fact of coincidence becomes any number of times the motive of fixed history that awakens history.

98

In proportion, it exceeds seventy percent. Within a coincidental environment, in the flowing of revelations carried on the wind and the heart of comrades who love, the mission-bound responsibility to awaken to a new historical fact is grave and weighty.

99

For that reason, I have established an intelligence bureau. The CIA and the KGB have the history of two opposing worlds — and going into those worlds, the question is how many people True Father can leave behind while he is alive, as those who, with confidence, declare, “We can become representatives surpassing the CIA and the KGB,” will be the responsible figures of the world's national intelligence agencies. That is the crucial task. Please keep in mind, and take interest in the fact that we are now beginning such a work.

100

I have spoken of Las Vegas because I think that the history of the autobiography can be the swiftest single foothold in sowing the seed for such work. There is no other time but now to make this plain. You know the inner content well.

101

In the work of intelligence, how much one expands the background environment by oneself depends upon one's technique and ability.

102

If, through that ability, the descendants of later generations can greet a bright Heaven and earth into their daily sphere of life, this earth cannot but become the nation of God. Because I know such a conclusion comes, I ask that you understand what True Father is directing — not to let it slip past as something amusing, but to receive it with solemnity.

07An era in which the whole spirit world can be mobilized to the earth

103

I shall introduce a few representative people from such a world. At the very end of Pyeong Hwa Gyeong, the records appear of how the representatives of the religious world were educated and moved.

104

The Confucian representative appears, the Christian representative appears, and they all appear. Introducing about five of them should take less than fifteen minutes. By introducing them, you can know in outline what standard Las Vegas and the background of True Father's life have been built upon.

105

The basic knowledge and the actual tactical content of it, the fact that one's own country and the world have moved and combined in the spirit world — you must know this. The footing of that should be the land of Korea.

106

So in the earthly world, we must hasten to lay the foundation. Because it is needed for a new awakening, I tell you to read this. (Hoon Dok Hae begins with “Appendix: Report from the Spirit World — God Is the Parent of Humanity” in Pyeong Hwa Gyeong.)

107

The reason they did not go to hell is that they studied the Unification Principle. They could not deny what they themselves heard and learned about who God is and the historical-providential ages to which they contributed.

108

What I am emphasizing to you is that the era has come in which the whole spirit world can be mobilized to the earth. And the leaders of the Unification Church — you — have become the principal members of the group whom the founders of the five great religious bodies, or seven, or thirteen, bear witness to.

109

For that reason, when you pray, in the relationship of inyeon, the entire religious sphere and the founders of religions in the heavenly world are connected, and there is nothing that does not pass through. Because they know this is the era of dividing up the apportioned responsibility for the earthly world, the responsibility is being handed over, in step with this. What they did not complete upon the earth, the future land of pioneering they longed for — this is being connected.

110

So in the free and open garden of God, the new seed, the seed of God's life, must be planted, and the sons and daughters of God must be raised.

111

The original homeland Earth, can come into being. You must know clearly that, beyond this, there is no hope upon earth or in Heaven. One can consult them. So if you say, “Stalin, come out!” Stalin is set to come out.

112

The influence of the communist world, which once occupied as much as one-third of humanity, remains. From Marx to Lenin, Engels, and then Stalin — they have borne witness. Those who have carried on the anti-communist movement through the doctrine of the Unification Church will all know this well. Mr. Lee Sang-heon, who understood their longings and, with theoretical aptitude, educated them with the words of Heaven, has had what he taught recorded in detail in this volume. The people who do not know this can yet be brought to enlightenment.

113

I am no fool. Read these testimonies. They place their hope in me. I ask that conditions be set upon Earth. Therefore, pray. When you pray, what you pray is fulfilled. If you pray over someone at the stake of your life, then if that person does not believe, the spirit world takes him away. (Hoon Dok Hae continues.)

114

We have educated the representatives of the Communist Party and the founders of religions. So among your ancestors, too, those who left a record in history have all been educated. It is finished. Now, such words of the Unification Church have all been proclaimed. This book cannot but enter every household. If, even having read it, one does not understand, the path for such people is wholly blocked.

08To escape the era of tribulation, textbooks, and teaching materials are needed

115

The era of tribulation continues for three years, and the remaining period — we must escape this swiftly. What if it stretches from three years to thirty years? There is nothing more dreadful.

116

What is our mission?

117

At a crucial crossroads, the teaching materials and textbooks that can light up the right direction are needed. Since we have the textbook and teaching materials, you can go and read them; even if your kin and in-laws will not listen, gather them and have your sons-in-law or daughters-in-law emphasize them. With such content of education, things can be set in order.

118

The fruit has already borne out. The spirit world is so difficult a place, and yet this has been done. Knowing this, with confidence, you must from now on resolve that the earthly world cannot block the grip of my hand or the steps of my action, and press forward.

119

I mean, take up in my stead the battles I would fight, and fight. (Hoon Dok Hae continues: “True Father, Sun Myung Moon, you who have revealed that God is the Parent of humanity, True Parents, please save our communist world! Endless thanks for the devotion and love of the True Parents, who, by God's special command, labor night and day to save humanity right up to the brink of destruction. Now that you have saved me, I shall live thoroughly by Godism. I am truly grateful. Mao Zedong — April 20, 2002…”)

120

Those who had opposed have become this after receiving three days of Unification Principle education — so if we hand them even this textbook and can explain the teaching materials, there will not be one person who remains in opposition. Do you know how many people are dying in one hour, in this hour right now? Do you know how many die in one year? Tens of millions are dying. Those people must be educated swiftly.

121

To liberate God, the words of True Father must enter every house, and if this content is reported every day and no one knows it, then the world will go in one direction and become either farmers who can gather the fruit in the field of a decisive conclusion or masters who sow the seed. Why would I sit still?

122

So inside and outside, up-down, front-back, and left-right must match in rhythm, and Cain and Abel must be made one. Among the families of enemies, twelve families must be digested. That is the formula. Why can it not be done? How many friends do you have? (Hoon Dok Hae continues through section 6.) The conclusion is simple. The spirit world is already united.

123

This time, the content and words True Father has confidently taught you are facts beyond doubt. If you doubt, summon them and say, “Reveal where the book you left upon the earth is now!”

124

You can receive the reports of officers who were once communist activists. When their kin learn the outcome of their own religious founders and the officers who guided them, can the underlings fail to follow?

125

So it is with Christianity and the entire religious sphere. The five great sages and all the U.S. presidents, the communist world, to be sure, and even the democratic world — it is so. They are all preparing themselves here, and they wish that Unification Church people would open the door for their descendants — but if you do not say a word and just lie there dead, what then?

126

Behind the one person of yourself hang the lives and deaths of tens of millions. From your ancestors to the realm of the nation, even God Himself is suffering. From the earth up to Heaven, mobilizing them, bringing them down, you can prepare an army of the heavenly kingdom that can sweep through that whole kindred in a single stroke. The army of peace, the police of peace — they are all in place. The path you are to walk has been completely prepared.

127

A four-month workshop is too long.

128

So, deploying from here, just bringing in your kin and relatives — how many would that be? If there are classmates, write letters or otherwise have them come. If each one brings ten people, how much is that? If 700, or more than 1,000, gather, what then?

129

So, knowing that the world will tumble down instantly, do not idle away your time. When I think of the seventy years True Father has lost, I cannot tell you how indignant I feel.

130

You have been entrusted with the realm of liberation by which all that can be indemnified and restored in your single generation. Tens of millions have been apportioned to each one of you.

131

When those who have so longed for it ask of you, after you have died and gone, what will you say? Those who have entered the Unification Church bearing a mission-bound responsibility yet are still dozing and do not know the world — they are taken away. They are taken to the spirit world.

09Distribute 430 volumes of the autobiography

132

So, to escape the condition swiftly, what must be done? Distribute the 430 volumes and manage them daily as brothers. Management is simple. Centered on ten volumes a day, you can do fifty, even more than a hundred. Yet are you to sit still?

133

You must receive the tradition handed down by the responsible figures of education, make a flower of heart (심정) bloom without fail, and resolve to till the new field of my temple.

134

It must begin with the liberation of your kin. There are 286 clan surnames in Korea. If you do just 20 surnames, what then? You do not need to go that far. Even if you do just 10 surnames, it comes to tens of millions. If, knowing this, you idle away your time, I will not leave such a person alone.

135

It is an intelligence organization. That is what an “inquiry agency” (heungshinso) is. How much have you become a foundational headquarters of motives that can extend an influential sphere by your standard of faith? Heungshinso! It can also be the “faith” (信). Be soldiers of the harvest who can gather the fruit of an excited faith.

136

You must reap with a sickle and an axe. The Communist Party boasts of the sickle and hammer—do you know what that is? Reaping even down to the roots and using them as fertilizer in our field, we can develop the world.

137

Through my breath, my lips, and the blood-sweat of my efforts, what is done to that which had been prolonged for several thousand or several tens of thousands of years? There is no doubt that I can harvest the seed I have planted.

138

But if you dislike it, do as you will.

139

Will you do as True Father says, or will you not? “We will do it!”

140

If you say you will not, ask back. If you have questions, ask. I have answered every question. Then I ask that you receive the education well until it ends. Three times four is twelve (3×4=12)—the 120 days are decisive—and within that period, you must also distribute the regions. Distribute a certain number of families to certain districts and organize them.

141

You will each set up classes of twelve or thirteen, drawing lots once a month to set up the responsible figure in each. Since it is four months, regard the four responsible figures as more than your parents, more than your brothers.

142

Then you can fashion the key that can open the blocked foundation of filial sons between parent and child, the foundation of loyal subjects between nation and citizen, and the foundation of sages between God and the founder of the Way. You hold the key, inside and out, that can open it.

143

I am now ninety-one.

144

If I lie down now, the time of going may be near. So I must go to my hometown and come back, and I must also meet the throngs of enemies of the world.

145

If you cannot do it, I will have someone do it. In Las Vegas, presidents of nations and anyone else can be mobilized. It is a good foundation.

146

In Las Vegas, the executives of corporations of every nation and the central business entities of nations are all gathered. No nation is left out. I have investigated all of it.

147

So, gathering presidents and those who have held public office, while utilizing the historical material of one's own being, I ask that you become masters who can be embraced in the bosom of God's love.
