If the spirit world is not unified, the world of earth cannot be unified. If there exists a Lord who can unify the spirit world, what would be the problem to unify the world of earth? It is not difficult. Nations are critical. From now on we even have to guide spiritualists. The people who are spiritually open are all under my charge now. I am the head of spiritualists, so you should follow my words, not their words. You should know this: they must come here to learn from me. They know only a one-way direction.

For that reason, even if you receive messages from the spirit world, you shouldn't think they are absolute information. If the spiritualists don't interpret their messages according to the Divine Principle and select the right direction, it will be easy for them to be on Satan's side. Do you understand? [Yes.] The spirit world is testifying to Father and is following me now. Because I know about the spirit world as a specialist, I can distinguish Satan's doing and I have been able to accomplish this much. That's why I haven't been destroyed. I am still here.

Think how many zillions of spirits are in the spirit world. Compared to that, the population of three billion on earth is much smaller. Three billion people are not such a big deal. If only we go over the national level, we will be able to mobilize the spirit world. When that happens, our time will be near. You should know that. With this kind of view, we can see the outlines for the future of the free world and Communist world. Do you understand? [Yes.] (154-233)

Do you know what the Lord is at the Second Advent? [The King of Kings.] I asked you what the Lord is and you are telling me it's the King of Kings.

When Jesus was dying, he said that he would come back. Isn't it true that people are making noise because I came on behalf of Jesus? Am I better than or inferior to Jesus? [You are far better.] Yet, do Christians say that Rev. Moon is better than Jesus? Have they ever been in the spirit world? I have seen everything and I talk about it. I talk on that foundation, but those who don't know about the spirit world are making such a noise! Well, when I said that Buddha was my disciple, Buddhists also made a noise. They are pretty quiet recently (laughter). I brought leaders of Buddhism to the United States and showed them around. When they went back, they said, "Wow, we misunderstood. He is better than Lord Jesus and Lord Buddha." That's what they say now. Am I inferior to Buddha? Inferior to Jesus? Do you know how contemptuously Jesus was treated while he roamed around at the waterfront of Galilee for three years like a beggar? He was treated with contempt and died.

Am I dead or alive? [Alive.] I was treated contemptuously but I have stomped on the whole world to overcome. Am I great or not great? [Great.] How great am I? (laughter) The entire world's people are so wretched. If people are not good enough and there is someone like Father, they should be grateful to receive seeds from that person. It means that to be in-laws, that they should receive seeds from my family, doesn't it. Do you understand? [Yes.] (186-183)

If you go to the other side of the spirit world, how will it be? Do you think you will see people being happy, or people opposing each other? Murderers and their victims are all staying together there. Don't you think they are ready to fight, waving knives around for their revenge? However, there are many walls there. The many walls are blocking them. For that reason, evil spirits go to the descendants of their enemies and cause sudden deaths by accidents in order to fetch them to the spirit world. Things like this happen. They should all be freed.

In order to free them, the world of earth should be freed. For that freedom, something good should be offered. If something better than dying or having enemies is not offered, they cannot be freed. What could it be? With what is the spirit world liberated? With what is God liberated? All the bad relationships were tied by human ancestors and they have made such a mess in the spirit world. Therefore, the descendants now confront their ancestors' mistakes.

However, if a person has inherited the proper tradition to be a filial son, he should pay back his parents' debts. Do you understand? In that light, who must knock down all the walls of the ancestors in the spirit world? We have to work on it. In doing this work, we have to make our ancestors come down to meet us directly and make them teach us. This sounds like a dream but it's real. We are not people who live alone. Not alone. If I look around at you, I know what kind of people your ancestors are, what they did. If I start doing that, it gets dark. The faces of ancestors appear bluntly and disappear. At that time I can tell if the situation is good or bad. That' is why I say we must unite religions.

If the owner of a store comes to the customer to discuss the customer's party but the customer sleeps instead of being interested in the party, do you think the party will ever be successful? Well, that's why the World Federation has to be connected with the spirit world. If you cannot control the spirit world, you cannot control the physical world. The root of heavenly fortune is the spirit world. If you cannot control the spirit world, how can you bring the results from there to earth in order to unify earth? For that reason, we have to unify the spirit world before we unify the physical world.

In the spirit world, I fought and took dominion over everything. People are getting upset because I said that Jesus was my disciple, Buddha was my disciple and Confucius was my disciple. Have you ever heard that their followers said, "Rev. Moon is saying that Buddha is his disciple, Jesus is his disciple and Confucius is his disciple"? It's true! These fellows met me and had discussions with me. I said, "You didn't know these things, did you?" You have already met me. They have surrendered to me and they are trying to unify religions with unificationism. That's why Buddha is bringing his disciples to me. Also Confucius is guiding his disciples to me. You don't know such things, do you? That's why you are immature. (laughter) I guess you felt bad because I said that you were immature. (191-205)

Every one of you who has ever met me in your dream, raise your hands. Everybody should meet me there. Oh, it's good! (laughter) There is no other organization like this in the world. Why has the Unification Church been able to accomplish worldwide growth centering on Father? No matter where our missionaries go, they can know things by feelings. I have told you a little about this, haven't I? I speak in many places every day and it causes me some confusion. (laughter) If I repeat to you the same story and you feel embarrassed, it's such bad manners.

There are many brothers and sisters who make their moves by receiving such orders from revelations. The Communist world says that there is no God and they oppose the existence of God. Regardless of the country, the Communist party tries to eradicate all religions. Under such circumstances, God has to prepare. For example, God has told similar things to one woman in a Communist country and one man in another Communist country. For several years, God told the woman, "The man you will meet in the future is so and so. The place and the time to meet him is so and so." When she followed the direction to go to the place, she met him. She was told that she would meet him five years later in some place and the two of them met each other.

There are many such fairly-tale-like stories. If people have such experiences, no one will say that there is no God. If you experience deep emotions along with experiencing such facts, the feelings stay forever, transcending physical life. Do you understand? [Yes.] The experience of having passed through your life while loving God and longing for True Parents will leave an impression that will be kept forever. It is the center of our lives. Then, at the border of the spirit world, walls and partitions will instantly disappear. We can go there directly.

Do you know that God exists, do you believe it? [We believe it.] Does believing come first, or knowing come first? [Believing comes first.] Which is better? [Knowing is better.] You should know. Believing is far from the facts and knowing is identical to facts. Well, talking about the religious life, do you actualize religion in your life? Your realm of realization should be expressed in your religious life. How proud we can be to live in connection with the substantial realm that is actually expressed, not internalized! We should be thankful. There is such a state.

Raise your hand if you think that the spirit world doesn't exist. (laughter) There is no mistaking that the spirit world exists. God exists for sure. It is so powerful when your entire feeling is controlled by the realization that God exists, no matter who denies it. That is the heart that belongs to the world of God. No matter how much hardship that person goes through on earth, the person with that heart belongs to the nation of God. That person is His child. Everyone, ask yourself if you are in such a state that you would never change your heart, no matter how difficult things may be. What do you think? Are you in that state or are you not in that state? [We are in that state.] You should reach there. It is a hard task.

When you climb over Satan's ramparts and enter God's substantial world, everything will be proven. If you cannot accomplish it, it will be like going across the bridge of a castle but not entering the castle. Unless you enter inside, you won't know anything. No matter how many times you look at it, it won't do. Entering into it surpasses millions of dreams. (224-108)
