We call ourselves the Unification Church. OUnification ChurchO is a beautiful phrase. What do we need in order to unify the Unification Church? Some would say, OYou need unified principles." But unified principles would be useless without feelings of emotion. This is the issue. Religious people can try to unite with one another on unified principles, but they need feelings of love. There must be the love that emotionally demands to see the other, that demands that one cannot live without the other. You cannot tear into each other in rage, arguing who is better, and expect to become one with one another. Can you argue who is better and still unite? Can the mother and father argue who is better than the other and still unite? They canOt.

What is then the solution for unity? It's mutual love. Love can come from pity, it can come from preference. Few couples love each other from the start. Love grows with time. A woman meets a man who is absolutely stubborn, and thinks the man is totally unlovable. Then the woman takes pity on him for the many obstacles that he must confront because of the stubbornness. So, when pity turns to love, the man seeks solace in the woman. That's how it works. The woman might even find the man's stubbornness useful because she is not stubborn enough herself, and this way turns his stubbornness to a mutual advantage. So, love can bloom in affection as well as in pity, and eventually lead to unity.

If one feels strongly enough for the other person in pity it can naturally find a way to unity. What about when a parent spanks a child in anger? WouldnOt the parent regret it immediately? The effect would exactly be opposite if the parent shed tears and showed love for the child. DonOt you think? So, if the parent does not give into her anger, she can always triumph over and control her children. Spanking is not as effective. An older brother who hates his brother can be brought to his knees this way. IsnOt that possible? [Yes, it is.] So, what do we say we need for unity? We must have feelings. There is no happiness where there is no unity. When we say, Ounity comes, or unity is possible,." we mean unity with love as its substance.

The Unification Church desires to unite Christianity. Could we ever unify all the denominations and sects of the Christian world if we just limit ourselves to the Unificationist brothers and sisters? We must love all the denominations and sects. Once in this frame of mind, we can forgive all their human faults. Do you think it possible for God, who has already forgiven us our sins, to forgive us if He still thought that we are sinners? He forgives us because He looks at us with this forgiving mind. You must understand that forgiveness leads to unity.

Do you understand that nothing is possible without this feeling of love? The world is merely a desert without friendship, without love for the country, without love between parents and children, without love among siblings. Is unity possible in this environment? Is there any happiness without love?"

How do we bring about our Unificationist ideals? Through loveNpupils shedding tears of love for teachers, teachers for pupils, children for parents, sisters for sisters, brothers for brothers, siblings for siblings, tribes for tribes.

You would never be able to forgive yourself if you had to die tomorrow without accomplishing this act of love. This is the demand of unity. This is the path Teacher has chosen, not just mine, but God's. You must underhand this.

Why do we seek unity through love's foundation? Because without love everything is temporary, and love makes it eternal. Does the wife's love end when her husband dies? No, her love for her husband burns even more strongly after her husband's death.

Where does unity materialize? You might think, "Well, unity will come wherever it may,." but that's wrong. What is needed as its foundation before it comes? We must have love connections, yes, love connections. There will be no unity without love connections. The connections are mutually honored and obeyed. DonOt you think so? In such connections, one recognizes the other, which is returned in mutual recognition.

What is the foundation of this mutual recognition? There must be a mutually-recognized goal. Their mutually-recognized goal makes their unity possible. Unity cannot allow two different goals. The goal must be one and will become one if love is mutually given.
