The most important task for our VOC activities is to prove the reality of God's existence. Although as VOC members our hard work is important and appreciated, we should show the real existence of God to Communists who deny it. However, unless we strongly feel His existence ourselves, we shall not be able to have the conviction that we can defeat Communism. Let me give you an interesting example in order to explain to you the existence of God. Before I do, first, I would like to ask you a question: what part of your body do you love the most? I am asking you this question, dealing with visible things since mind is invisible. Then what is it? Is this not an interesting question? Someone might say it is his ears, saying that they are "ears of fortune" in the belief that they will bring fortune to him or her. Someone else, for the same reason, however, might say that it is his or her nose. Also, another person might say it is his or her eyes, saying that they are like that of a Chinese phoenix, etc. There will be all kinds of people who will come up with all kinds of reasons as to their preferences.

Actually, the most important part of our body is our face. That is why people normally do not talk about someone's body as to whether it is handsome or ugly, but do talk about his or her face in terms of its beauty or ugliness. The reason is that it is the most important part of human body. However, what is most important in a human face is the eyes. This is because, although all other parts are fixed and cannot move, eyes can move in all directions, while engaging themselves in various activities. Further, the first part that comes into being, even with animals, are the eyes. If you pay a close attention to a tadpole that is being born, you will notice that the first part that is being made is eyes.

What does this mean? This means that, in this universe, there is a central being who has been existing, like these eyes, even before any other beings came to exist. That is why our eyes symbolize God. On the other hand, the nose symbolizes humans. It is the last to develop of all of the body parts of human beings. A baby's nose is kind of flat, but as he or she grows, it grows big and protrudes around the age of his or her teens. The reason is that at the time of God's creation, humans, which are symbolized by the nose, were created last. The nose was created last. When a human inhales, air goes in through two nostrils, but later, it goes through only one nostril, meeting at one point.

Here, two nostrils symbolize a man and a woman, respectively; like the nostrils, they eventually become one. Then, what does a mouth symbolize? It symbolizes all things. That is why humans have 32 teeth, which symbolize the entire world, which consists of four directions and eight directions (4 x 8). That is, it symbolizes all things in the universe. Then what about ears? They can communicate with the four directions of north, south, east and west. From this viewpoint, we can understand that the closest and the most familiar organ of the human body is our face. That is why we look into our face after washing it in the morning, at which time, people normally think only of the external look of their face.

However, let us, for a moment set aside the external look, and think about the root of eyes in particular. The eyes did not know the existence of the sun before they were born. If any ancestors of humans or other creations with eyes are asked whether they knew the existence of the sun before their births, they will be unable to answer this question. Thus, eyes themselves were born into this world without knowing that sun exists. Also, when you look at eyelashes, why were they made? I personally think that they were made to prevent dust from getting into the eyes, already knowing that there is dust in the air. Then, when eyelashes first came into being, did they know that air and dust exist in the world? We cannot say so.

Nevertheless, how did they come into being? Furthermore, we have tear ducts in our eyes. Do you think that the eyes knew in advance that the water in the eyes will evaporate due to the sunlight? They did not know. Nevertheless, as if a water-pipe was installed for a water faucet, our eyes have tear ducts. If we didn't, within 30 minutes our eyes would have turned red. Even if we think of only one part of body, the eyes in our face that we look at on a daily basis, we find them a palace of mystery. But come to think of it, the fact that eyes were made in preparation for the sun, without even knowing that the sun exists in the universe, and the fact that eyelashes came into being even without knowing that air exists and dust exists in the air is truly amazing. Further, when eyes blink in order to prevent the dryness of the eyes, the fact that a tear duct is attached, is truly remarkable as well.

Today, Communists assert that the universe exists naturally. However, when you look at the universe, existing so scientifically, no matter how minute some part of it may be, we cannot say that it just exists automatically. Even if we yield to them 100 percent, yet their assertion "natural or automatic" is not a blind "natural or automatic." Then we cannot help but to come to a conclusion that the "natural or automatic" is a result of a nature with an inherent sense of direction and purpose. From this perspective, it is sure that someone must have known that the sun exists even before eyes came into being. Likewise, even before eyes came into being, someone must have known that there is air, and that in the air, dust exists. We cannot say that they came into being automatically when no one knew about it. Then who could know it? Ladies and gentlemen, who claims the superiority of humankind? Could it be the eyes themselves? Our eyes, nose, and ears, are considered to be palaces of mystery. But do you believe that they came into being automatically as evolutionists say?

They say that living things came to be as they are according to the laws of mutation. But that is nothing but a theory that is used as a means to defend their evolutionism with its many contradictions. It is a serious matter for us to understand this question. Before I and my eyes knew it, someone first knew that sun and dust exist in this world and prepared us with eyes and eyelashes, with an unimaginable knowledge. Then, who can that being be? When seen from this perspective, it is only logical that we arrive at a conclusion that a central being, a subject, who can have dominion over humans, exists in the universe. It is all right to say that the subject is a concept, a thought, or a cognition, as put in today's academic language. However, because such subject created humans through knowledge with unimaginable depth that goes beyond the material dimension, humans came to have systematic forms and relations. This, we cannot deny.

In order to exist, nothing comes into being without a purpose. It just does not happen. Then, why does direction exist? Direction exists where there is a purpose. Otherwise, we can come to a conclusion that it does not exist. Ladies and gentlemen, you came to Belvedere early this morning. Why? Did you say to yourself, "Just go in that direction," without a reason or a purpose? Because of your intention to listen to the words of Rev. Moon you came to visit Belvedere. Then we can conclude that a direction comes only with a purpose. Well, let me ask you the question whether or not an amoeba has an ability to invest power or energy beyond its own ability, and to present a direction and a purpose? What do you think? [No.] It is impossible. It is illogical. It is just nonsense. Nevertheless, Communists try to justify their theory of dialectics. But it just does not work. The theory of dialectics cannot be logical because it teaches that a direction can be presented even without a purpose. Without a purpose, everything is destroyed.

Still, such a question is asked, and people do not know. So, since it cannot be done within itself, we can say that something was added or invested in it. That is what happened. When viewed from this perspective, it is only sensible to think that there is a motivating being in existence. Such a theory is scientific. Then what do you mean by "scientific?" When something hypothetical fits with reality, it is called "scientific." If someone says that energy comes into being automatically, it is not scientific. In order for energy to be generated, either heat or an injection should be given. Then, it works. A magnet is turned to the south, it is directed to the north. What has that directional nature? Why? Can matter itself, nature itself possess such an active inclination or characteristic? No. It cannot.

Being scientific means that it fits a theory and the theory should be in line with its hypothesis, proof, and reality. They should be based on the same principle. From this view, God is the causal being of the universe. He is the causal being of all of these functions. He is the causal being who adds such energy. He is the causal being who gives direction and purpose. Therefore, it is inevitable to come to the conclusion that such a causal being exists. Further, we call him the being of character. Why? Because He presents a purpose with a direction always centered on a motivation, and because He keeps this position without wavering. That is why one can say that we travel to the realm of purpose via a direction from a cause. When viewed from such a perspective, the causal being of the whole is called God.

Why do we lead a life of faith? It is to get greater and higher-dimensional energy. Then, where is that direction headed? Towards the world of higher realm, not the fallen world in which we are now living. Isn't that right? That is why a theory that God does not exist is groundless. The cause and the effect always match. Right? [Yes.] The more complicated the process is, the more complicated the cause and the purpose are. That is why it is more valuable. The broader the width the more valuable the process is. (89-74)

Even when seen from the perspective of how the conscience works, we cannot say that God does not exist. God exists. Those who absolutely deny the existence of God must also deny the function of conscience. By the same token, as long as we absolutely admit conscience, God absolutely exists. For this reason, we cannot deny the existence of God. (56-166)

Our belief in the existence of God is not merely a theory. When viewing it from the principled relationship of subject and object, our position is not only that it is inevitable that God must exist, but that even before I came into being, and even before I was able to think, God existed first. Did God not have dominion over everything about me including my senses? Coming to realize this point is more important than anything else. Is it not a principle that we come to understand after first recognizing? It is not the other way around. We do not know this cold climate first before feeling it, but we feel the cold weather first, and next we understand the feeling of being cold. Likewise, if God exists, we should feel his existence first, with our own cells. At what level we feel Him is the question. In other words, the question is how we can confirm our actual experiences.
