SPEECH FOR THE THIRD ASSEMBLY OF THE
MONGOLIAN PEOPLE’S FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE
The True Owners in Establishing the Kingdom
of Peace and Unity in Heaven and on Earth
April 10, 2006
Seoul, Korea

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