Woman is only one half of a whole. She completes her personality by loving a man and being able to embrace and digest all difficulties that come up. Do you understand? (Yes) You women, you should not open your mouths, but stay silent. Women have no weapon except for their mouths. Your mouth is your only weapon. Next is your facial expression. Once again, your mouth is a weapon. Do you understand? That is why women perish because of what they say. You will see that even in movies, when a woman endures without speaking a word she is able to digest all difficulties. But if she says, "Gosh, I am going out," then she packs up and goes; later, of course, she cannot return. Children would think, "My father's persecution of my mother is reasonable." You should not just pack up and leave; things must be worked out. Even though you may be hit by your husband, don't pack up and leave. Instead, lie in bed and pretend to be sick. It is better to have revenge. Don't eat food for a week, but pretend that you are sick. When he comes back home, say, "Oh, you are back now?" Do it in such a natural way. Then when your husband sees that you are not eating, he will watch you for a week and then will raise the white flag of surrender; then harmony will come. What wonderful revenge. (laughter) You can get revenge in a way that is for his sake. If you say, "My husband is bad, he is worse than me," then you are a woman of no value. Even though he is an evil husband, with little ability, have the attitude that "this gentleman has come to find me, at this historical time. He has come out, holding a flag through the many struggles that men go through to find a woman like me." You should think like this. You then meet to build the kingdom of peace and the kingdom of love together, holding the flag of peace. This is the way of husband and wife. Love should remain alive. Forgetting the pledge you have made, "Oh, you damn man!"--this kind of behavior should not occur. Woman is half a circle, half a circle. Do you understand? Half a globe is what you are. The way women should go is from the left side to the right, to complete the circle, yet not stepping over the man. How does a woman go upward? By making the man come down, and getting a piggyback-ride from her husband. So, when the husband goes up, she can go together with him. A wife who works for her husband is naturally lifted by the people of the village. She can even be raised up on the back of her grandfather. In that kind of a good family, because she has a big loving mind, before the three generations pass she can give birth to a good heir who can inherit the eldersonship of the clan. What principle is this? The principle of three generations is working to keep things revolving. Things which revolve can have dominion over the whole. As you go through three revolutions, a new world of hope is found. By doing this, you grow through spiral form and become greater. (187-85) A woman has her house of love, a man has his house of love. But the house that the woman has is not for her, the house of love is for a man. The house of love that a man has is not for the man, it is the house of love for a woman. Do you understand? Do you know this or not? If you do not know this, it will be a disaster. Traffic accidents will happen. Where is the house of love for woman? The woman does not have it. Do you understand? The houses of love are exchanged. Then why are they exchanged? By going through the process of exchange this universe is connected. To connect this universe, it should go through exchange. It should be bound together. It is possible only by love. It is not possible by any other way. It is not possible by your way. Who do these eyes belong to? (They're mine) You would say that your body is also yours, but love is not yours. It is your partner's. It is exchanged. Because the possession of love is exchanged, the couples' ideal situation develops. If you enlarge the point of exchanging love, it becomes an ideal sphere. When you read the Old Testament, aren't there the Holy of Holies and the Holy Place? What do they mean? The Holy Place symbolizes a human being, while the Holy of Holies symbolizes the house of love. Do you understand this meaning? This is the first time you have heard it, isn't it? Everybody has a Holy Place and a Holy of Holies. The Holy Place is the place you can attend God. Then, what is the Holy of Holies? It is the place you can encounter God, because only God has the special dominion over love. The Holy of Holies is the place you can connect with God directly. Then where is it in the man? It is in woman's sexual organ. No one else can touch this place. There are not two men who can see this Holy of Holies. There is only one, isn't there? The one who keeps the Holy of Holies must be the one to open it, but if it is stained, the one who touched it will die. In ancient times, if a different person touched it, he was put to death. That meant that the place was contaminated. Do you understand? That is why for women, Adam is the person who has the key. Eve was only keeping the key for Adam. You must know this. Do you understand? For you to make unity you must believe in and love God and have a loving and united relationship while attending God, do you understand? It is not merely the meeting of man and woman. When man and woman come together, representing the heavenly law you should say, "To accomplish the ideal of creation, we would like to attend God's love. Please come here, and let us have the sons and daughters you hope to have the through us." Do you understand? (132-246)
