Education is necessary to save humanity. Education is necessary. Man's ancestors fell because of ignorance. I will be brief since you already know about the Principle. Adam and Eve remained ignorant as they moved to take over the dominion of this world. As they were growing up, they had not understood God's teachings. They fell not because they knew what it was, but because they didn't. Our ancestors didn't know the path of righteousness, and their descendants could not surpass their ancestors in this knowledge.

We have had many great historical figures and religious leaders, but none were able to provide the correct path that God had taught. No religion, no philosopher, no statesman, was able to illuminate the path. Because of this, our history continued the heritage of our ignorant ancestors, deviating from God's principles. This is what I see. So, we must educate the ignorant humanity. This is a problem. A good education can restore God's knowledge but a bad education has prevailed. That's our current state.

Because of the Fall, we need a Messiah. Without the Fall, we would not need one. Because of the Fall, we lost our God. Because of the Fall, we lost our basic human character. Without the fall, we would have retained the basic knowledge of God. That condition was already established for us. We would need no more. If we were one with God, we would not lack this knowledge. We would not need any education dealing with the fundamentals of man.

What are the basic needs of man? First, food and survival. Then, after those two are taken care of, it's love. Did you learn to eat after you were born? We were born with the natural ability to eat. We must eat. When our mouth touches something, we naturally want to eat it. Therefore we naturally seek to fulfill more than eating, surviving, and loving. We should move from these goals, on to the world of solid feelings, then on to the world of solid values in order to avoid the fall. However, because we have fallen, everything is in reverse. We must make right what is in reverse. When a baby is born, he comes head first, his buttocks last. We look like humans but we are not. It's our dilemma, all because of the Fall. Therefore we must struggle against fallen thoughts. What must we realize in order to reverse this state of being? Controlling fallen thoughts is more important than wanting a Messiah. We must fight fallen thoughts. Our strength gets stronger as we increase our struggle.

The individual is a product of history, as are the family, the nation, and the world. Among all the products, how much is the product of goodness? How much good has the world produced altogether? I want to know. In your own environment, what percent consists of goodness? In your own personal character, what percent consists of goodness? I want to know. When we consider how much evilness and how much goodness there are, we recognize that goodness is surrounded by evilness. There is no education needed to do evil. It's easy to do evil; no education needed. Our history began with evil so that no one needs to learn to do evil. Do you need to learn to do evilness? We need to learn to return to human morality and the dictates of conscience as our standards. What kind of education? Even with one that centers on goodness and on conscience, how many of us live up to the standards? Anyone can do evil without any learning. Anyone can pass that course.

Do we need an education for evilness? Do we? No need to learn about evil. No need to teach to do evil. If you just leave people alone, they naturally turn evil. Just follow the body and evil takes over. Isn't that so? [Yes] Hey, you grandpa there, if you follow your body, is that good or evil? [We become evil] You surely become evil.
