1) Indemnity and Restoration Members of the Unification Church today do not like the path of indemnity. What this means is that they do not like restoration. There is no such a thing as, "I like restoration, but do not like indemnity." So, which comes first? Does restoration come first or does indemnity come first? [indemnity] Why do you now say that indemnity comes first? However, which is the one that you like? Let's frankly talk about the thing that you like. [Restoration] You like restoration but do not like indemnity. What is this when we look at it from God's side? It is the opposite. Which side are you on? Are you on the side of God or on the side of Satan? [On God's side] You have to be clear about this. You have to understand this clearly. You like restoration. However, the side of God cannot like restoration. Only after having laid conditions for indemnity, restoration occurs. So, which is the side that likes restoration? It is the side of Satan. And which is the side that dislikes indemnity? [Satan's side] Satan's side. Also, which is the side that likes indemnity? [God's side] You understand now. This Unification Church is also on that side. You didn't know that, right? You understood this now. Then, you must deeply reflect upon yourself and repent. Are you on God's side or Satan's side? You know this well. You should ask yourself. "O" is on the side of God and "X" is on the side of Satan. Which one is on God's side? ["O"] There is only one person who answered and the rest remained silent... You must understand this. Until now, you have been following the Will of God, but now that you have understood that one who likes restoration is Satan and one who likes indemnity is God, which path would you take? [The path of indemnity] (116-127) How did the Fall come about? The Fall came about because of lack of faith. Disbelief was the primary cause. Next, it was because of the assertion of one's own self. The assertion of the ego. It was centered on oneself. The Fall occurred at the place where oneself was being asserted. Next, the realm of love centering on oneself was demanded. These are the three causes of the Fall. Disbelief; then? Assertion of oneself, centering on oneself. Next is desiring the realm of love centering on oneself. This was the basis for Satan. This is what the fallen Archangel has become. Then, in order to restore this through indemnity, in order to negate it, what must be done? The opposite must be carried out. Absolute faith. This is why absolute faith came into the scene. Because disbelief led the ancestors of humankind to the Fall, we must step on it and climb over it. We must go up beyond the line where our ancestors fell. We have to practice absolute faith. What is absolute faith? It is going forward until we die, even after we die, and even while we are dying. You do not understand absolute faith, right? The limit of absolute faith is... When we compare this with ourselves who have a substantial living body, it means that we are to go forward even while we are in the process of dying. It means that even when we are dying we must walk this path. We are trying to go this way even when we are dying. When I die, I will not fall to the side but fall in the front, heading forward. In this sense, if you deny your faith, you are choosing the road of death. What is the second? It is denial of oneself. You must deny this eye one hundred percent. It is the denial of the self. My eyes that want to see, my mouth that wants to eat! Until thirty years of age, I never had even one day that I was not feeling hungry. Even though I am aware of it, I have chosen the path of death. What is the third? Absolute love. This is the absolute love. Only after digesting the enemy... You must forgive. Taking a revenge is not forgiving. The enemy himself must voluntarily hand over his nation, all of his authority, and the birthright as the eldest son. You must receive them from him. (126-35) If people understand the true meaning of the word indemnity, then they will all live it the most. Without indemnity there can be no blessing. Indemnity is the unlimited nugget of gold in the Unification Church. It is a shocking word which can put life on the line, sacrifice everything, and overcome all the difficulties. (1978. 2. 26) The history of restoration is not supposed to be carried out after giving an explanation for it. One is supposed to cope with it only after completing it and winning a victory. If the explanation could have been given beforehand, then there would have been no need for the 66 books in the Old Testament and the New Testament. Why would we need 66 books? It's no big deal. Even ten pages are too much. Everything can be recorded in three pages. (62-126)
