What is the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students?

When the teachers and the students become united, what do they do? It's unification. What kind of unification? (It's the unification for South and North) Centered on what? By sticks? By clubs? (It's by love!)

By organizing the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students we need to educate the students to catch the Communist party. Through the Principle and through action.... do you understand? By having the arm of the right side and the head of the right side we have to hit the arm of the left side and the head of the left side. You have to defeat the Communist Party through ideology and theory. Absolutely, we must not retreat. We need this kind of strategy. If we expel the left-wing elements and the reactionary elements in the educational institutions, the nation will move ahead. If we did this, the nation would be grateful and the people in authority would also be appreciative.

This mission of the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students is enormous. We need to breathe in deeply, fire rapidly and have a broad mind. This is an amazing thing! The fact that the students and the professors will join together, will come out to unify North and South, is in itself enough revolutionary substance. Therefore if someone says anything, a revolution can happen. It is wonderfully amazing!

Once the meetings are held in the universities and the "fire starts to burn," our movement can observe who are the students of the left-wing groups. Even though some do not attend, we can still observe them. Except for a few, once they speak, we can see through their appearance. We need to strongly establish everything and move ahead. The time is like this now.

We have to influence the professors to be active. Then what activities do we need to start? We have to hold public speeches for the National Federation Movement for the Unification of North and South in the eight provinces. The professors should mobilize the local hero and the students should mobilize the local youth. This is their mission. You and the professors can give lectures on the campuses, but to entice people to go and hear the lectures and drive away opposition-influenced groups, we need the local champion.

We need to put emphasis on the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students for the accomplishment of God's Will. What the IFVOC needs to do through the Unification Church is to have a rally of the Second Generation. Do you understand? Organization can happen later, but the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students should take the lead. How come? We have to try to influence the Second Generation and the intellectual people of the nation. This is the point.

The first thing we need to do is center the movement of winning over the academic world on the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students. The problem is how to unite the universities centered on the National Federation. Next is the movement of society through the things that are connected centered on the university. We have to bring together the local hero, the local administrative officers and the local political leaders. The professors have to coordinate these public meetings, gathering these distinguished people together while the students gather together the local youth. At the same time you are having conferences in the main cities do the same in the district and the neighborhood This is the winning over of the district and the neighborhood.

If you were in my place, you would think to have the IFVOC at the front line and as the base organization of the National Movement. However, Rev. Moon doesn't think like this. No!

We have to put the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students in the front. Where is the subject? (The Federation of Unification of Professors and Students) It is the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students! I need the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students. Once the nation becomes united with the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students the nation will start to move ahead.

If the professors cannot correct the universities, it would start to decrease. It is this serious. So I tried to make the Federation of Unification of Professors and Students in record time. Is it easy?

Nowhere in history can you find that the university professors and the students got together. This is revolutionary. Last year in March the preparation for the big conference as the three-point foundation centering on the professors was a lesson for them from me.

To change the historical level, I became the motivating power so that this will expand to the intellectual world. Last year I asked the president of Seoul University to invite all university presidents is in the metropolitan area. I thought that I had to meet and persuade him to do this. Because the professors didn't have any national influence, I held the conference of professors. When did you grasp the academic world strongly by its collar and say, "Listen to what I am saying. You have to do this!" I organized the National Federation for the Unification of North and South in this manner.

Also this time we need to prepare this movement before the entrance examinations to the universities. You don't understand, do you? Doing the conference together with professors and students is unlike any event in history. The concept of placing power on the professors' elegant shoulders is worse than putting the mouth in front of the tiger. However, cooperate with those scholars in order to save this nation. Centered on patriotism they can compromise with parents on an equal level; then for them to be working and cooperating together would be an amazing event. Then who will be leading? The professors will lead. It's not the students. We need to go through the vertical course! When we think that South Korea itself is where Abel is, then the professors and the students are in the realm of Abel. However, these people are doing Satan's work. Everybody needs to be put together; people have to be united. We have to do like this, don't we? (Yes!)

In the future, there will be no other way. There is no way South Korea can survive if we cannot influence professors and students in the academic circle; not by political party, not by religious organization, not by its founder, and not by the IFVOC. All the nations in Europe have become like this. Rationality is collapsing everywhere. All the authority on the earth is collapsing. There is no way to recover. Now you realize how tragic this kind of destiny is, don't you?

The teachers' union in the university has a vertical relationship in it. There is a relationship with the board of directors and there is a relationship with the students. I really want to live with the board of directors and the students together. I want to live this way even if you don't! If there is a student who has this kind of conviction, even though his intelligence is feeble or he has some other weak point, we can say that he is a "teacher of the professors." And to the student who truly wants to be together with teachers and wants to lead together we can say that he is a true student. And anyone in the board of directors who feels that "I want to live together with professors and students" and wouldn't feel ashamed of the groups they represent, can love the school more than anybody else.

How much effort does a professor exert so that his system in his field of study can be made worldwide? It is necessary to have an appreciative heart, shedding tears while holding and reading his book, tearfully feeling his suffering as mine.

Due to the heart, the bone marrow spreads, comes together, divides and goes forward inside the body.

All of you, how much do you love the students? The point is to be able to say in a dignified way that he and I have the relationship of teacher and pupil; that you are both connected heartistically in a kind of relationship where you cannot leave each other for long without looking back, without trying to hold and catch the student. This kind of feeling sinks deeply into the bones. Don't care about how difficult it is. Don't care about the owner. (October 11, 1986)

The professor shouldn't tell himself that he is great. He should live for the sake of the students; likewise, the students should live for the sake of the professor. So the movement of living for the sake of others should be diffused in the schools. (Sept. 29, 1986)
