Look. There were people who joined the Unification Church who said, "I graduated from a certain college, and coming from the intellectual class I am intelligent and wise; therefore I do not wish to suffer like Rev. Moon." But who is the more intelligent, knowledgeable and wise one? Seeing the result now, all of them fell down and became those fallen leaves, but Rev. Moon, who they thought would fall down, became the branch at the top that bore fruits. Although they fell down, Rev. Moon became someone that the world admires. How did this come about? It is because I know that there exists the subject-object relationship in any environment, and because I go through the process of development that can benefit both subject and object. Because I have this philosophical perspective on life and perspective on the way that the universe operates, although I may seem to be declining I am actually making progress. I can only progress. Unless my theory is wrong, I will surely advance. Therefore, the original mind knows. God is the powerful plus. For this reason, if Rev. Moon is destined to become the medium through whom one can seek God, then one's conscience will naturally be drawn to him and think of him. It will approach him continuously. The body will move toward me continuously. This is the action that will take place. (131-222) No one will oppose religious leaders such as me for going to a bar. In order to take care of all the people there, you must first deal with the subject there. Moreover, since what the subject needs is the object, in order to lure them out you have to excel the best person there in doing something; this is the way to lure them out naturally. Viewing from, shall we say, the perspective of the philosophy of social science, how did the Unification Church develop so greatly? You have to understand it has been making progress by applying this type of principle. Since God connects subject and object through the work of re-creation, when you stand as a subjective person at the place representing God, then you have to recreate. You must recreate centering on these principles. Then, what do you have to do? You have to recreate a realm of reciprocity. As you meet someone, if you pour all your heart and effort to create the realm of object in the environment that accords with your own field, then you can stand on the theoretical foundation of eternal existence. Then, in the process of doing that, what do you center on? You are not to center on Rev. Moon. You are to do it from the position of subject centering on the heart of God during the creation, the standard of heart that seeks to complete the ideals of love and purpose of love. When this can be done, despite the Fall the person of original nature can obtain the natural power that can be absorbed in the realm of the subject's heart. This is how all will be connected. Do you understand? In order to create such a realm of object in that environment, you have to pour out all of your main effort and energy twenty four hours a day, just as when God was carrying on the creation process. In this way, you are to create the realm of reciprocity on the individual level, and then on the family level. This is the original way. The environment on the family level I am talking about is not that of the family in the realm of the Fall during the history of the world, but the family that was to be created centering on God. If you stand as the subject in the position of the standard centering on the family, this will allow the formation of the realm of object and environmental sphere based on the foundation of the family centered on God, and establish the domain of the tribe. (135-177) The way to safeguard the battlefront of unification is not that of elevating oneself and making it possible for God to help. In other words, it is not having the force of Heaven be put into oneself, but it is creating the conditions for the force to be put into the object on one's own account; you must understand that this is how the protection of the environment that you are in is secured. For this reason, you have to believe that you are always one with God. You should think that when you go out witnessing you should go with God, and when you speak you should speak together with God. When you are eating meals or sleeping, or whatever you do, you must have the mind-set that you are living intimately with God. If one lives such life, then when one meets a sad person, one will automatically become sad. One can feel what God is feeling. This is having the actual experience of God. You have to enter this realm of experience. So, when you go to certain town or village, you can immediately sense what the village is like. When you go to a high place in the village to pray and sing, people from the village will come to find you. The fundamental Principle is that whenever there is perfect plus, the perfect minus will emerge. When you do business, sell flowers, or whatever you do, even witnessing, if you do it with prayer and a devotional heart, then things will be revealed to you. You will be shown what kind of person you will meet. When you set out witnessing, you will mysteriously want to go to a place that you have not even thought about before. If you go there, you will meet someone whom God loves. You cannot deny the existence of God when you are having this kind of experience. (69-288)
