1) No self-assessment When you have gold, but it is in sand or mud, it has to be refined in a melting pot. Then it should be refined again. That is your course. It is the original course, the normal course. Then, do you say "Oh, Good!" even though your body is melting and disappearing in the oven, becoming liquid, or do you say loudly, "Oh! I am going to die." Are you pure or impure? Which do you have more in your body? (Impurity.) Then, which is the subject in your body? Is purity the subject or impurity the subject? (Purity) If you are all pure, you need not worry about anything. You must know that in order to become 100% pure, you have to deny yourself at least 98%. Our own things are only 2%. Which do you like? Which do you have to take? Do we have to take this, do we have to take this? (True Father was pointing at the things which he wrote on the black board.) How miserable is it? The response of men here is faster than women's. Let us consider how much miserable it is. Is the life of a Moonie unhappy or happy? (It is happy.) (Laughing) Then, is Rev. Moon, who is the center of Moonies happy, or unhappy? We have the hope that while it is unhappy in the beginning it is happy in the end. (Clapping) If someone persecutes you, think like this, "I am going to go to the oven, because I'm not perfect enough." We should not be afraid of being persecuted. If you can persecute me, please go ahead. We hope that we will have been in the oven until we become pure gold. It is the fastest way to become pure gold. In America, owing to opposition to Rev. Moon, they threw Rev. Moon into the oven of the world. What's going to happen? They will be surprised saying "Oh!ÓÑeven though they threw 100 people into it, all 100 people came out. (Clapping) Suppose the entire America immediately perishes. All perish. How about that? How will Americans feel? They are going to say, "Uuu." (Laughing) They must lose. Anyway, how about Rev. Moon? He will win. Although he will win, America will be defeated. In that case, how miserable America will see herself? On the other hand, how he will be honored? There is no room for discussion. No one can oppose him. Why will he win and America lose? When the wife says, "Oh! I felt my husband's love!" it means "although I have been living in the inner room [that means she was legal wife in name only, under the control of his mistress], I can live together with my husband from now on". What do you think about it? How about this concept? That is great! Therefore, how patient are those who desire to march forward on the path to becoming 100%-pure gold instead of resigning themselves to being 98%-pure gold? How greatly do they suffer? Nevertheless, they have to be faithful in order to go forward. Even if people may evaluate us as 100%, when God will pick us up and estimate, it is highly uncertain that we will be found to be 100% gold. I am afraid of that. If comparing gold 100% pure according to God's assessment with gold which I so assessed, I wish the latter to be greater than the former. What do you think? I hope gold as I assessed it would be greater. An impure particle which correctly assesses itself cannot exist. Then, God assesses Himself, doesn't He? He originally is inclined to assess Himself. In order to be purified ourselves, we should not assess ourselves. If we do so, we may think we are 100%-pure gold and think ourselves above the condition that God will assess. It is natural that we think in this way. Do you follow me? When there is nothing eternal in our mind we are able to assess regarding ourselves as the center and think we are more-than-100%-pure gold. Anyway what is pure gold? It is only gold having no impurity. Therefore, the nation in which people who are living being intoxicated by the love of completely unselfish, a hundred-or-thousand-of-years love, will be able to be the standard of pure gold in love. What do you think of this concept? Those who have such a love are an honorable Queen and Prince. Sound good? (Fine!) I dare to ask you to be such wives and husbands. If you can be, how wonderful you are! Although you become pure gold, do you need God any more? God already stayed within that one. It is unnecessary to have God. Therefore all of you should be like that. [128-206] Are you true pure gold? Or false? Then what am I? I myself? If you are true, what am I? (laughing) Then if you are true, I am a false, though? Then we will become true! You can say that, but it is trouble only to say, "I am true." I am in the highest position in Unification Church, though? Isn't that right? (laughing) I ought to be called true first, not you. Your right words are, "We are true, too!" That is O.K. It is impolite of you to say only, "I am true." When I see you at first, you are not true. After refining you by beating you and combining three or four together you could be true. I can't sell you as you are at the true market in the shop which I manage with the label, "This item is true." I cannot sell you as you are. Do you follow me? I always look at you in this way. Therefore, I consider that a long process of discipline, trial and refining must to be done. When I say, "Are you pure gold?" that means I don't regard you as pure gold. Because you should have many processes of assignment to be finished, I have to put you into a refinery whether you like it or not. You should not call yourselves Unificationists until you are purified, synthesized into one crystal and possess the form without sides after being refined. (138-200) We need the adjuster which modulates us, the period, the chance, and the time for doing it. You know standard time? We must adjust ourselves to that time. This also is true of scales. We have a standard scale. It is only one, the only one in the world. If we talking about a meter, the meter standard is not two but one. Are there two of that, or one of that? Definitely one. Only one. Furthermore, originally does man have a standard of adjustment or not? Yes, he or she has! Well, are you those to whom, at the zero point, the absolute standard of man naturally matches with the self-standard of man or those to whom it cannot be matched even forcibly? "Forcibly" is an unusual expression for this situation. You should understand, though, that I tried to express my feeling. If we, as fallen people, insisted that we want to be recognized according to the original scale, or, if we are talking about meter, it might be the meter scale, then anyone who agreed would be crazy, wouldn't they? God would say to them, "Hey! You guys! Why did you recognize them even though they look like that? They should have been denied, beaten and jailed." Today, we are a group, a family as the Blessed Family, aren't we! There are many seniors who say they are "family", respect the noun, "family", but, on the other hand, ignore the content of a family.
