4) Three-stage Organization

Father has been doing this so far, but despite the fact that we have the president of the church, Father gives directions to the regional directors or the state leaders. This the president of the church must understand.

Father has a three-stage system of communication. Do you understand? This is a system of a heavenly nation. What did I say about this? [Action system.] It is not a management or administration system. A management system requires only the passive role of following the leader, but an action system demands you to be aggressive.

What is this for? It is for the public Will to protect the survival realm. Everything works out that way. Let us take the example of a leaf of a tree. If a worm invades it, the branch and other leaves protect it. That is how a system works. Do you understand what I am saying?

It is the same as a tree growing. A system of branches and leaves centered on the trunk, that is an action system. (173-196)

What I said earlier is regarding the three-stage organization. That is what you should understand. Where did the three-stage theory come from? If we look into the essence of it... do you understand? You must have heard this for the first time. Right? [Yes.]

The three-stage theory comes from this. In the Unification Church, above Rev. Moon, exists God. Therefore, I cannot do anything I please. I am at the center of the three stages. If I did things at will, I should be in trouble. All the cells of love are assembled in the center. If the center of a globe moves, the entire heaven and earth will melt. That is why I cannot do things as I desire. The higher and lower should be always tuned to each other. So should it be horizontally. Through these, the vertical and horizontal should meet in perpendicular.

What is the center like? It is pushed from above, and pulled from below. Then, how difficult it must be. At least, that is what I think. Therefore, the center should be an example. From above, it should be praised, and, at the same time, it should be exemplary seen from below. From this perspective, I am not sure whether I am qualified to become the leader of the Unification Church. Professor Lee, what do you think? [You are qualified more than anyone else.] No. I am not. [You are too humble.] It is a difficult position to be in. I should be praised from above and be exemplary seen from below as well. That is why I have no time to rest 24 hours a day. A person in the east can take it easy until he or she comes to the center. The same is true with the one in the south, or any other direction, until he or she comes to the center. But I cannot, since I am already at the center.

Therefore, since a person with such a responsibility, the one responsible for the family or for the nation, is closer to the center... I exist centered on God, and within me, exist all of the worldwide Unification Church members. This is one system. For this reason, I cannot transfer the position of the president of the church as I desire. I can do it only according to the directions from above. That is different from in the secular world. Do you understand?

With me as the center, there are the president of the church and the people on the level of department leaders, who can be compared with the president and general managers at a company in the outside world. These three stages centered on me are one system. That is the reason why, unlike in the company structure of the outside world, I can give directions to department leaders directly, not necessarily going through the president of the church. Also, those department leaders should always report to me immediately if there is anything that is wrong or against the Will of God. If not, problems will arise.

Why? If a trunk, is grown, branches will grow on it. This vertical trunk should be in line with Heaven. This is a three-stage process. The root as the center multiplies small roots, and centered on those small roots, more minute roots will grow. That is the formation stage. This is a three-stage system, which is one system. This is the difference.

That is why, as was stated earlier, the Unification Church is not an administrative organization, but is a progress organization, an action organization. That is why the president of the church cannot ask other leaders not to report certain matters to Father. Okay? Nevertheless, you might have already done it.

You should report to Father. You should protect the center from four directions. For that, you should keep in line with the vertical pole. You should push people, saying: "You should not go this way or that way. You should go this way." The push will not be given by the top. You from below should do it. This is the method throughout the organization. You must immediately report. (173-216)
