August 5, 1973 (lunar calendar, July 7), at Chung-Pyung workshop site.

As you have probably learned from the prayer that I just offered, I prayed for the liberation of the tribal family of the Unification Church. Until now, I have never once prayed for the sake of my own family. I have never offered a word of prayer to God in public, "Please help my mother, father, or my ancestors in the spirit world." I never formerly made such a prayer. How my parents have become and how my brothers have become... From now on, we are not to do that but place emphasis on our tribes and kinsmen. I have loved you more than my family whom I have abandoned. I have loved you more than my mother. I have loved you more than my children. You should pray and see if I have really done so or not. Now is the time to reap that love. I am going to harvest it and love the children. I will love them almost to the extent of insanity. If this is not done on the earth, then I will do it in the spirit world.

By doing so, the spiritual standard of the Moon tribe and the standard of liberation will be fulfilled, and what will unfold there in the spirit world is a unified domain of benefit. This relationship will be extended to the countless kinsmen, cousins and distant relatives. Do you understand what this means? When you examine our ancestors, because everyone has been married centering on the Moon tribe or their kinship, the people of the Korean peninsula are linked to this. This event cannot take place where Korea is facing destruction. So, my conviction is to depart after opening the door to spiritual salvation. You have to understand that I have been praying and thinking about these things for a long time. Do you understand what I am saying? [Yes]

You have not been attending me on the spiritual standard satisfactorily, but as you connect to your spiritual tribal foundation and become one centering on the providence, through the internal spiritual standard the external tribes will become linked. (68-271)

For my kinsmen, this is the day that they are receiving blessing. I believe that through this, a way will open for the ancestors of the Moon tribe to return to the earth from now on and cause the Moon tribe members to work for the sake of the providence, and at the same time, together with them all the people of Korea who are related to them through blood ties can also become connected. When we consider the fact that in this way every tribe will become connected, this will become the beginning of the opening of the door of the spirit world. Therefore, I hope that you can remember in your hearts this historical day.

You should understand that this day of 1973 is the day when the spirit world can also reconfirm the victory, and we on the earth can also confirm the victory.

The meaning of the term, "the unfolding of the fortune of the earth," is that the time has come when the foundation that I have laid externally until now can now be linked all the way to America internally. If Jesus and his disciples had been able to become united, the door would have opened through which they could receive all the blessings of the world.

Although there is a quite a distance in between them, just because you are in the land of Korea you should not think of America as another country but as part of the same nation. Although the earth is big, all you have to do is think that it is one nation. You have to think that the Teacher is working in the place where he can serve a greater and more urgent cause for the sake of our nation. You have to understand that I am in the same desperate and earnest position of Jesus who offered the prayer as he ascended to Heaven, "Just as the Father is in me and I am in Father, let them also all become one and be inside us," (John 17:21) and I hope that when I return, you will have become those that I can be proud of.

In order to do that, before you live for the sake of the nation, your family has to first become one. When we talk about Abel, the Abel is those who have become united. In a family, they are people who have become one as a whole family. In this way, on the foundation of the unity of the tribe, the tribe will be liberated. So, the fact that trusting you, and knowing that you can become like that, I perform the work of opening the door to the spirit world, a movement to liberate the spirit world, will bring blessing to you in the future. I know that today is a good day when such things can take place. (69-289)

I performed the ceremony of liberating the Moon tribe in July of last year. Wasn't that so? Without liberating the Moon tribe, just as the path was blocked for Jesus because he could not liberate the relatives of John the Baptist and Joseph, the way could not open up. Accordingly, I also have to liberate my tribes. What caused the deep resentment and sorrow of Jesus was that while the families of Zachariah and Joseph should have united and fulfilled their responsibility on the tribal level, because they did not, Jesus took the ramifications. For this reason, in the Age of Restoration, unless some tribe brings liberation to it in respect to the dispensational will of God, there is no path for the Lord to take. Therefore, we have to conduct the liberation ceremony. (71-237, 1974.5.1)

The reasons that I have chosen my relative, Mr. Moon to be the president:

(1) because of providential history desired by God,

(2) because the Moon tribe is in the position to bestow the benefit of opening on earth the door to the spirit world, even though we see such internal and external situations,

(3) because opening the door of the Moon tribe spiritually is good for members of the Unification Church and for all Korean people. I should not say more about this. I have laid the foundation for the Moon tribe to be accepted positively as the only ones acceptable.

(4) For this reason, from me, there can be a beginning of the fortune of restoration based on both the physical and the spiritual in this land of Korea. (68-295)
