The foundations of the mind are love. So, if we could connect this explosive power with God, it would multiply a hundredfold or a thousandfold. We can achieve our long-held wishes and possess eternal life and heaven on earth. The secret is love. Love is the elevator to unity and its absolute secret solution.

Mothers and fathers cannot achieve unity without children. Why do we prefer love? We cannot help it. The mutual love of parents together is much stronger than their love individually. It's the rope of love that binds mothers and fathers into one. A chain made of iron eventually rusts, but the one made of love lasts forever. Neither banquets nor money can bind parents and children. Only love can bind them.

Only love binds brothers. Only love binds brothers, families, clans, tribes, peoples, and eventually the world. Love binds humanity with God as one.

The reason we prefer love is because it is the foundation that unifies all things. You don't understand completely why love is such a wonderful thing. That is why Teacher brings out the issue of love now.

Without love, oneness is not possible. Words cannot bind two people. What is needed to make two people one? If material substance could do it, what if the material substances left them? If a third agent could do it, what if the third agent disappeared? What is needed to bind two people forever? It is love, without which nothing is possible.

How does love work? How does it work? Does it make things farther apart or closer together? [Closer together.] Why is love good? You must understand this. Love brings far-apart things closer. Can political power, military power, or cultural power unite Westerners and Easterners? [No.] Neither cultural power, economic power, nor any other kind of power would do it. So, what could accomplish this?"

Love can make two sworn enemies become one and reconcile two extreme opposites. What are men and women? [They're extreme opposites.] Do women prefer women? What if they meet and one says to the other, "I really like you, I really like you." [laughter] Why are you laughing? Would the woman feel good about this show of affection?

If love is true, you can get into God's bosom, pull him by the nose or anything else, to anywhere in the world, even heaven and hell, without boundaries. You can go anywhere, anywhere.

IsnOt the world like that? Does it take a Ph.D. to be America's First Lady? Even a peanut farmer can leap into greatness if he is loved enough. Can there be a one-eyed first lady? What do you think? Realistically, can there be? Even with a gimpy leg, if the president loves her enough, couldnOt she be? [Yes, she could be.] Really? [Yes.] I canOt believe that. [Laughter].

How is it possible? Love unites and transcends all things, there being nothing irreconcilable through love. No matter what kind of sin you might have committed, God's love can... DonOt you believe that? Is that true? This is always possible. If Rev. Moon didnOt know this, he would have faded a long time ago.
