What is our goal? What is the goal that the Unification Church is heading for? It is the realization of the Kingdom of Heaven. Realizing the Kingdom of Heaven on earth is the goal of all the Unification Church members. When we say the Kingdom of Heaven, this is not just any random kingdom. We must know precisely what kind of kingdom we are talking about.

What relationships do I have to the Kingdom of Heaven? Around me, there is my family. Around my family, are my tribe, then the people and then the nation. We must know how the world around the nation is reached. Our Unification Church members know that at the same time that they are on this earth, they are also living in the spiritual world.

Then what is the relationship between the Kingdom of Heaven and the spiritual world? After the Kingdom of Heaven is established on earth and the Kingdom of Heaven is realized in the spirit world, then what will happen? It doesn't finish there. What is the relationship with God? This cannot help but be an important issue with people who are seeking to realize the Kingdom of Heaven. That is to say, it is content which must be realized. If that content is not clear, in reality we cannot accomplish that content. Therefore we must know that.

What is one important standard for realizing the Kingdom of Heaven? What is an important element which can realize the Kingdom of Heaven? It is unification. Without going through the basic rule or process of unification, the Kingdom of Heaven cannot be realized. It's like that. The Kingdom of Heaven is realized only where unity is achieved. The peace and joy that people are looking for today, the place where peace and joy can be realized, is the place of unity. As we know, when my mind and body are not unified, no matter how I try to be happy I cannot be happy. No matter how we try to keep a standard of peace, we cannot do it. Therefore we must understand that becoming one is more important that anything else. (82-271)

I know that you love me. And I love you. I love you, but I love you centered on God through God's love. This love of God is a love which dwells in the midst of the people of the world; it is not a love which remains in the Unification Church. In order to plant that love in the world, to leave it in the world, I cannot help but send you out. Sacrificing you and putting you through difficulties, making you into those who can contribute to this love, contributing to bring about the fruits of love which represent the world, is all to make you into a Unification Church member who can receive God's love and who can receive the love of humankind. You must know that we are such a movement. The goal of the Unification Church is to create people who receive the love of God, people who receive the love of humankind. Man's love and God's love... (82-53)

What's the goal of the Unification Church? It is to relate to man, and with God and with the Messiah to dance together here on earth and even try to have Satan receive a blessing. This is the way of the Unification Church. It's great, isn't it? [Yes] How great it is! That is the Unification Church. Until now the one saying, "Let's go!" was the Unification Church. Well, when we hear that, we discover that the Unification Church is an attractive place. Is it a lowly place? [It's a great place]

Really? People of the world say the Unification church is such and such, heretical, and so on, but we don't even bother to snort at that. Holy people are going on their way and the neighborhood dogs bark; we think of it like that. (laughter) (80-257)

We all know the hometown where we were born and live. But the original hometown which humankind must find has not yet appeared. If our human ancestors had not fallen, where would that hometown be? Without a doubt, it would be the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve lived, in that village, by those mountains and streams.

Today's people, who were born receiving the blood lineage of their fallen parents, think of the place where they were born when they hear the word "original hometown." But the original hometown ideal which the people of today are longing for and seeking is so false. What is the highest goal that our Unification Church is looking for? We must go out and find the original hometown which was lost. In that original hometown, our parents are there, our brothers and sisters are there, and our relatives are there. We must look for the original place where they will greet us not in sadness but rather will greet us in eternal happiness and joy, and that joy will not last just a moment but rather forever. (23-74)
