White is a symbol of peace

One single flower is a more superb masterpiece than the greatest
painting in a museum. There is no comparing their value. A masterpiece
will result when all five racial colors are put together. If all
colors in the spectrum are combined, white results. White is symbolic
of peace; for example, a white flag in wartime means truce. Actually,
white people should be the symbol of peace, but according to past
history they have never brought peace, only exploitation. Always other
races had to submit to white invaders.

Very soon the time will come when those black people who worship God
will have a chance to receive a great blessing, on the condition that
they unite with goodness and are entirely loyal to God. Blacks who
worship God, and are not lazy, have hope. God has to work through the
restoration providence, and the reason white people have been able to
dominate the world in the past is because they had Christianity.
Without Christianity they would be nothing. Black people shouldn't
become discouraged or disappointed, because in reality they have a
great hope ahead. In the past white people have been aggressive and
conquered other countries, but that must end. Orientals are very
religiously and philosophically inclined. When they eat the fruit from
trees they meditate about life, while white people are used to killing
animals for survival when they get hungry. I am not implying that one
is superior or inferior, but I'm interested in the kind of tradition
each race has. Tradition is what determines inferiority and
superiority.

The Unification movement will bring the hope of spring to all mankind.
You have to seriously think about what it means for us to be the
spring branch of the whole world. Do you have that kind of pride?. Are
you growing as branches and leaves, or just sitting and doing nothing?
Do the buds only grow when the sun is shining and not at night? If you
ask the buds whether they only grow in the daytime, they will answer
that they grow during both the day and night. Buds will say they
prefer to go forward instead of backward; they would prefer being
transplanted to a place where they can grow big, rather than stay
small. They would rather be a total tree, not just branches.

If you are an entire tree, then you have everything -- limbs and
roots, leaves and flowers. In order to be a whole tree you have to
separate from the parent tree. Is there any other way to be a perfect
tree? Would you rather be cut off quickly or slowly? That is why I
kick you out. The first step in being transplanted is to get out of
the World Mission Center and go form a home church. You may agree with
the philosophy of this, but in your hearts you feel a little pain.
Maybe you will resent the idea, but by doing it you will form a better
tree. Multiplication is mobile in nature.

This personnel change won't take place in winter or autumn but in
springtime. Spring, rather than autumn or winter, is a good time to
transfer to another mission. The whole universe is changing in
springtime, and according to that law our personnel change should also
occur then. We don't need heavy coats when spring comes. If I
elaborated on this point, I could go on endlessly.

Does spring bring only goodness, or hardship and sacrifice as well? It
is not just a time of sitting, but of hard work and moving. Spring is
a hopeful time, but only those who are moving have hope. The
adventurous person has great hope and desire, which is why he is
moving, but without that hope he has no motivation. History advances
through that kind of person. Do Unification people fit into that
category? We have a great, adventurous nature. Do you want sweet
adventure, or do you have grave, noble, high ambition? Adventure
fascinates young people, but some young people talk about sweetness,
while others talk about great feats. Which is better? A man and woman
can talk about romance in a flower garden, but instead they could work
together with a bulldozer. Which is better? We are working together.
