If we say ideal (isang), we mean true... The Chinese character "yi" means the king's neighborhood. It's a neighborhood where kings live. Then what kind of beings are kings? "Kings take responsibility only for the best things in the country." Is that it? Or is it the following: "Kings take responsibility for all the worst things in the country." Which makes someone a king? [Taking responsibility for the worst things..]

Then what's a good king? Not caring for good things and taking responsibility for the bad things; living like that makes a good king in my opinion. Then in this universe, who is the king of kings? It's God. What kind of being is God? He is not someone who will only be responsible for what is good. He is the king who has taken responsibility for the worst things in history. Therefore God is the king of kings. Before such a king we should not say I only like good things. Do you understand what I mean? [Yes] In order to be able to go into the neighborhood where the king lives ("yi"), you have to be a person who takes responsibility for such things.

Then the "sang" character of ideal (isang) means that there is an eye up in a tree and in the midst of the eye of the tree is your thought. Up high, you can see in any of the other directions. Think one time that you have the mind which thinks from the eyes of the trees. It's not thinking about something other than the whole; it's thinking about the whole.

The ideal then means "It is the house of the neighborhood where the King thinks of the whole." That's the ideal home. What does that mean? If God exists, He is that kind of being. Then what on earth does our Unification Church do? The goal of our Unification Church is "Let's realize an ideal home." The goal of the Unification Church is finding the ideal home; it is trying to build the ideal home. (169-18)

Then what has our Unification Church been seeking? You should know that we have been seeking the family centered on heavenly fortune. Furthermore, according to the laws of the universe, after realizing a family centered on heavenly fortune the Lord who is to come at the Second Advent will stand in the position of heading towards the world. Furthermore, all people must realize such a family.

That family is not for one's tribe. It is not moved centering on one's family relationships or relatives; because it moves following heavenly fortune, its direction is different than theirs. That's why its critics get upset. Because the direction the nation is going is different, struggles occur. It is ostracized by the nation, ostracized by relatives, ostracized by the teachers who taught them. But even so they are not destroyed, because there remains the direction of uniting with heavenly fortune. You should know this. (24-229)
