We are now facing an extremely confused world. Moreover, we know that this world is filled with antagonism, jealousy, and disbelief. Regarding this present situation, people call this the age of post-ideology or the age of the destruction of all views of value. On the other hand, religious people call this world the end of the world. Such negative tendency is spread from the individual, to the family, nation, and world. In this sense, humankind is confronted by a despairing worldwide situation. In this present situation, in order to pursue the new world of hope, a new central thought has to emerge which can be welcomed by the individual, family, society, nation, and world. When we briefly look at church history, the uncertain trend of thought centered on God led the Medieval Age for a while, but as that thought declined, the humanistic world began to emerge. However, as the trend of humanistic thought also did not fulfill its mission, this world is now facing the extremely dangerous situation in which materialism has dominion over the world. Since materialism is fundamentally based on the value of matter, materialism can be said to be the thought of the end of the world. That is, we are now facing the thought of the end of the world. (78-98)

The present age is called the age of post-ideology and the age of uncertainty. Nobody knows the fundamental cause of this age being called that. Only through the manifested phenomena do people say that today's world is the age of the destruction of views of value. Today's young people, who are living in the cultural realm of the free world are wandering because they don't know exactly where they should go. The destruction of views of value is derived from the loss of confidence in the future. The wandering of the young generation, which is spreading like a febrile disease, leans toward the destruction of human society in the future. As the age of uncertainty, which was caused by lack of ideology, continues, humankind will not escape despair. Intellectuals and religious persons, as well as leaders, will not climb out of this swamp of despair. Academic institutes and universities also will not escape the hot wind of this destruction. (March 7, 1982)

The present society we are facing can be called the age of disbelief and uncertainty. People are living with anxiety, worrying about an uncertain future, because the present situation is one of disbelief as various problems conflict with one another. (March 7, 1982)

The Communist Party had a dream to unify the world centering on worldwide Communism, but now Communism has fallen down from the worldwide level to the national level. When Communism falls down from the national level to tribal level, Communism will meet its end. The democratic world also is falling down from the worldwide realm centering on America to the national realm which can provide support only for America. America abandoned the world, and now people of America are fighting among themselves. Likewise, when the democratic world falls down from the worldwide level to national level, the democratic world will meet its end. Therefore, today's world is called the age of post-ideology. What view of value does humankind have?

What is the value of a human? Today's human seems to have only the value of an animal. Because today's human becomes secularized and pursues only actual value, the value of his life is lowered to the value of an animal. Accordingly, today's human has nothing valuable. such a despairing result was fundamentally derived from false humanism, which had been raised against the blind faith of Christianity. Then humanism came not to know the spiritual human, but only the animal human. Through denying humanism, which denied the existence of God, we have to go toward the new stage which can affirm God again. Then, based on God, we have to establish humanism again. That is the law of the negation of the negation. When rediscovered, the denied God is not the same God as the God of the past. This God is not the same concept of God which Christianity had insisted on in the past. The rediscovered concept of God should be the new idea of higher-level Christianity. (83-310)

As you know, you are facing the confused phenomena of the world. Some people call this time the age of post-ideology and of the destruction of value. When we see the present age groan owing to the desperate situation, we can feel that this is the age of revolutionary change. This is true for people of Korea as well as for people of America who are leading the democratic world. The Soviet Union which is leading the Communistic world is also groaning internally owing to such phenomena. Although people don't know exactly what it is, individual and nation are equally looking for a new start for the future. Because all people of the world share the same destiny, the whole world is expecting to come into the age of revolutionary change. (86-60)

This world is at the edge of a cliff. So, a worldwide breakthrough and worldwide leaders are needed in this world. A true leadership organization and a true leader are not yet in this world. Your mind does not become the true leader of yourself, and your parents do not become the true leaders of your family, and responsible persons do not become the true leaders of your country, and people who are leading this world do not become the true leaders of this world. All people are not true leaders, but merely wage earners. Wage earners! Such wage earners exploit people and are doing everything for the sake of their own benefit. This world is filled with such poor people who are committing wrongs against the heavenly will. (84-207)

Where would humankind go? There is nowhere to go. Because of that, young people are sitting and hesitating without attempting anything. People like us are moving busily at every second because we have no time. On the other hand, these young people were sitting there when we went out in the morning, and when we come back at 3 p.m., they will still be sitting there, because there is no place where they want to go. You may be confronted by such a destiny sooner or later. True Father will see what will happen to the proud person, the proud intellectual person. In Japan, a professor committed suicide. Because the Communist Party made a disturbance in his country, and people of the nation did not manage that, he committed suicide. Nobody can handle that. How can this be overcome? Humankind does not have a foundation to be able to overcome. There is no such way. Now, we do not need either democracy or Communism. Only the ideal thought which the mind desires is needed. In order to go out to find that ideal thought, some thought or theory is needed. However, such theory and thought are not truth itself. They are just a bridge and a road to introduce truth. Humankind has to go over that bridge. (27-232)

Today's people make a clamor with theories such as the destruction of the view of value or the age of post-ideology. Therefore, now, the leader, who would lead the world by a subjective and certain thought, is needed. Economic, political, and scientific problems are not important. A true person is like a treasure that must be discovered and that person has to raise a new revolution. If that person becomes the leader of the world and creates new value from the individual level and family level up through the worldwide level, how wonderful it will be. That is the anticipation of thoughtful people at this present time. (85-100)
