The history of God’s providence was a bloody path of restoration from
Adam’s family all the way through Jesus' family as the second Adam and
up to the present to the third Adam. This suffering course of God was
to create a true owner, true teacher, and true parent. To accomplish
this in our own families, we have to absolutely risk our lives. You
have just met True Parents. Today is the 49th True Parents Day. The
key to establishing your family as a true owner of Cheon Il Guk is to
start with the unity of the mind and body. Mother and I overcame in
this area and now the temptations of the world – money, power, or
misuse of love—have all been overcome. We are impregnable to them. You
must do the same and establish your family as a True Parent family.
Sung Jin nim’s mother [Father’s first wife] opposed me directly. Sung
Jin nim, however, continued to follow me, even though it was
impossible and he was lonely and in a position in which God could not
support him directly. He got a Ph.D.and he and his wife became a
wonderful blessed couple in our movement. However, his mother should
have educated him and overcome all obstacles in fulfilling mother–son
cooperation and unity. Because of that failure, so much indemnity came
to True Mother and the sons of True Parents. The mother’s role is the
key.
Although the root of Christianity began in the Middle East, it
developed through Europe and finally flourished in America. We need to
realize that the substantialized embodiment of history is now
centering on the Pacific Rim era on the basis of America and all the
Pacific Rim nations. Mother and I came here to Hawaii because of this.
If all clans and families can overcome and unite, all can be forgiven.
The Pacific Rim era centering on America is particularly connected to
the West Coast cities of Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Some
indemnity condition was set up through the Seattle district because
one of our brothers died who has a Korean wife. Actually, because of
the course of indemnity, several Korean wives who were married to
Americans also passed away.
In San Francisco the wrong lifestyle has been promoted that is not
consistent with the Principle of Creation. The homosexual lifestyle
has no lineage, no future. Los Angeles is an important city, but it
also can be understood to be a city that needs to change and become
united with God. Actresses and actors are influencing the world from
Los Angeles. They need to be educated and blessed and establish a true
standard that can influence the world toward the true family ideal.
All can be forgiven if we can unite. When we look at the history of
America, we can truly say that there was a history of many good things
but also many things that were not part of God’s plan. The mass
destruction of the Native Americans was not God’s plan. They actually
were cooperating together with the Pilgrims in the beginning, but the
European settlers killed the Indians, took their land, and stole many
things that had been established through the first people here.
In European history we can see that Spain was in the position of the
first son. Spain, Portugal, and England settled much of the Americas,
but in the process they killed many of the indigenous peoples. It is
interesting from this perspective that Brazil is now the leading
nation of South America and has a population that is mixed in race.
The fact that black people are prospering so much in Brazil and are
rising up in America is due to the law of indemnity. Because things
were taken from them in the beginning, then the universe will lift
them up if they unite with God.
With the coming of True Parents, we can understand the providential
history of God. In a way, America became a nation where people could
go to escape the oppressive environments of Europe and other nations.
In a sense, America became a nation of runaways. Yet the nation of
runaways became the one most blessed by God and chosen by God to lead
the providence to develop the world. The same is true of Hawaii. Many
runaways came to Hawaii to escape the oppressive environments of the
world. Yet God has blessed this land to be a central point of the
Pacific Rim era. This is the center of the ocean culture, which
centers on True Mother, the era of women. That’s why love and healing
can emanate from this place. Through the ocean culture, all can be
healed and cured. Hawaii is unique in all the world. All the climates
of the world exist in Hawaii. We can say that the fourth realm of
heart is settled in this island of runaways.
In the ocean there are deep undercurrents of extremely cold water from
the polar ice caps, currents that flow all the way to Hawaii, creating
currents that cause circulation throughout the world. Those deep
undercurrents are as cold as 13 degrees Centigrade, and very special
fish grow in that area. Some of our members are creating fish farms in
Hawaii that actually pump in cold water from the ocean floor, more
than 10,000 feet deep. The oceans of America and Asia are connected
together, and therefore through this central point the East and the
West can be unified.
The president of Koryo University came to me and confirmed what I had
been teaching, that the people from this district of Dong-hee-cho came
to develop a real cultural root of Korea that was universal. No matter
how many times this area was conquered by other nations, they
eventually emerged again, free of the oppressor or barbarian nations.
From this universal culture of the homeland the world can be unified.
We have to understand that the way of sacrifice is the way of the
second Adam’s and third Adam’s family. If you study Jesus’ family, you
will discover that seven generations were eliminated through death and
destruction as indemnity so that Jesus could emerge. That’s why many
times those who persecute the Lord can then be called upon to give the
most to God’s providence. This is the case with Japan, which is being
asked to be the mother nation of the whole world and sacrifice
everything to give life to all nations.
We have to educate and bless even the members of criminal
organizations in order to neutralize evil and bring them into harmony
with God’s blessing. All have to be blessed. In the next three years
they should come to our conferences and be educated and blessed and
liberated from the past. They can become great leaders for God if they
turn their lives over to goodness. That’s why Hawaii also becomes the
center of reconciliation between the East and the West.
Hoover Dam was constructed using the most excellent technology
available 70 years ago. It dams the Colorado River, which has flowed
for millions of years, and provides water to millions of acres of
land. In its time, Hoover Dam was a modern miracle and combined
technologies from Europe and America. The deserts could become green
land because of this. Seven states of the West have a major water
problem, and the Hoover Dam could address this problem.
When I saw the great turbines operating at Hoover Dam, I could feel
the whir of the giant spindles. I still felt how amazing this
technology is that God gave us, that we could harness the powers of
creation to create a modern world. That’s why Las Vegas has become a
center of conferences and technological conventions, in which all the
world’s technology can be displayed. However, it is also a place of
sin and degradation. I also am committed to transforming Las Vegas
into what it should be—a special vacation spot for families, a special
technological conference center for all the world. The richest people
of the world’s races and nations come to Las Vegas.
I am setting conditions that will allow the cultures of the fallen
world to emerge into cultures of Cheon Il Guk. The center of this
transition point is in the ocean culture. The Pacific Rim era centers
on the culture of women, the culture of the mother. That’s why the
culture of Hawaii in many ways is very gentle. I pioneered and
developed a foundation in Hawaii so that this could be a center of
harmonizing the world. Also it’s a beautiful center of all creation.
For the same reason, because the creation is so beautiful there, I
have made a foundation in Kodiak.
My course for 34 years has been to set the condition to win the second
Israel. The problem of individualism is still strong in America,
causing people to take things from others instead of giving everything
for the sake of others. Also the family problem in America is severe.
The problems of incest and misuse of love are destroying the family.
Free sex and adultery destroy the family, and the only way to cure
this is to change the lineage and educate the people about
faithfulness in marriage and fidelity to one spouse.
Who is responsible to set up this tradition and culture of God? This
is the work of the messiah. That’s why we have created an
interreligious and international movement; it has to embrace all
people, with the family as the core. We must create one family under
God. In the Old Testament era and New Testament there was a lot of
killing and destruction. Because the kingdom could not be built during
Jesus’ lifetime, much indemnity was paid through bloodshed and
sacrifice. This was also true in Korea, which paid an enormous
sacrifice to be the land that welcomed the Second Coming.
On March 17th one year ago, True Mother and I launched the Pacific Rim
era. Centering on America, the Pacific Rim era was initiated, and from
here Ambassadors for Peace went throughout the world with True Mother
and the True Family, proclaiming the 13th Peace Message of the Pacific
Rim era. I have set the foundation for the world to be united and to
have heavenly dominion over creation. We must master the environment
and completely eliminate pollution and the misuse of nature. When I go
fishing, I’m praying and setting conditions to love all of creation.
The ocean is the source of food that can solve the problem of hunger.
I didn’t just direct other people to do this; I myself have mastered
the ocean.
Standing as a world power over the ocean, America can protect God’s
providence and secure peace for the world. We have to understand that
America is in grave danger because the lineage is being defiled
through the misuse of love. Our crucial mission at this time is to
bless families and engraft them into the tree of life, establishing
their lineage. There are religious leaders now supporting me in
America who can lead this blessing movement. But we should also
understand that there are other religious leaders who are taking my
teachings and claiming them as their own and trying to prosper for
themselves. All this will be made clear over time.
The leader of the ocean culture and realm is True Mother. Our grandson
Shin Joon Nim now calls us King Father and King Mother. (He calls Rev.
Peter Kim “Nemo” because Peter Kim always plays with him with the Nemo
stuffed animal.) Shin Joon Nim has a totally pure heart and speaks the
truth. Sometimes his purity and clarity even make me tremble because I
know what he says is true. Recently some people gave a wonderful
greeting to us, and Shin Joon nim said to them, why didn’t you greet
me? He is courageous and says exactly what he thinks, even to True
Parents.
Through the providence and victorious course of the True Parents, we
are setting the foundation in America for all parties to end the era
of squabbling and struggle and to be united for the sake of the nation
and world. Therefore, Republicans and Democrats should harmonize and
cooperate for the benefit of the nation. If not, then the nation
becomes divided, which leads to death and destruction.
How can we stand with our heads held high when actually the early
history of America was one in which the indigenous people were killed,
robbed. and destroyed? Indemnity conditions must be set to reverse
this bad condition in history. If Americans can unite among all races
and faiths, they can rise up to indemnify past mistakes and lead the
world to resolve fallen history.
Many projects are underway here in Hawaii to develop the creation,
with members now farming fish and also cultivating special seaweed.
Also we are developing the Kona coffee. It’s a tremendous blessed
culture.
Now is the time for people of conscience and faith to exercise their
civic duty and lead this nation, not only as ethical and moral people
but also by taking responsibility as civic leaders of the community,
state, and nation. One minister from Hawaii who’s an ACLC member may
run for office. This is a good idea. Moral and ethical leaders among
the blessed families should take responsibility in business, religion,
the arts, sports, in law and in civic office.
Hawaii is a special place in which over 60 percent of the population
is of Japanese descent. Truly it’s a bridge between the mother country
and the elder son nation. God made this foundation and planted this
seed. However, America’s history in Hawaii is not all rosy. Things
were done in Hawaii that were not correct, especially toward the
native peoples. That’s why this whole history has to be transformed
through this era of cooperating together, establishing blessed
families, and helping to inspire America to fulfill its responsibility
as the elder son nation.
All nations should raise money for those in poverty. All the people of
the world should become one family, but because of the fall of Adam
and Eve, the lineage was broken and therefore all families became
disconnected from God. Only through becoming one lineage through the
blessing is it possible to become one family.
We have to establish this lineage for three generations within our own
tribe for our family to be stable. This is the era when we should cast
no shadow, and the only way to do this is by establishing three
generations of the blessed family. This era centers on the Pacific Rim
era, which is the era of women. Women will take the leadership role in
all the parliaments of the world and will lead the way to peace,
centering on True Mother.
Centering on the unity of Muslims, Christians, Jews, and all faith
traditions, the power of America should be used totally for peace.
America should lead the way as a nation blessed by God to support the
way to peace through interfaith activity. Modern civilization emanated
from the island nations like the United Kingdom, passed through
America as a continental nation, and now has come to Japan. That’s why
the Pacific Rim era will be greatly enhanced by Japan as the mother
nation. The center of Japan and America’s unity is in Hawaii. Sixty
percent of the population of Hawaii is of Japanese descent. That’s why
a new dispensational era began on March 17, 2007, with the coming of
the Pacific Rim era.
America is moving from the West to the East, toward Asia. From April
30th we must emphasize more development in Hawaii as a central area of
the world, centering on America, to bring peace through the unity of
East and West. The key leaders in this will be Rev. Peter Kim, Rev.
Yu, Dr. Chang Shik Yang, and Mr. Joe Tully. They should form a
committee for the development of Hawaii for the Pacific Rim era.
This is the era when all should be forgiven and Cain and Abel should
unite. We should all go before God to ask for forgiveness and turn
everything over from Satan’s side to God’s side. Happiness should be
settled substantially in this world in the family and in the unity of
all faiths and religions. That’s why we all have to come to love the
ocean. The ocean is the central area through which all nations can
flow and exchange. The ocean culture is the culture of women, and it
is the culture of which all cultures can converge. All the
relationships of every nation, race and religion should become one in
heart. Brothers should not fight. They should understand that when
they fight, they actually are hurting their own father.
We created the palace of peace for bringing about the unity of all
families and religions. We must establish palaces of peace in three
locations—Korea, Geneva, and in the Hawaiian Islands.

I don't know how much I want to believe the above, but it sure is
compelling. On the other hand what about the lies, that are
continually
served up by Sun Myung Moon and company? Is it just the fault of
*moonies*, or did Sun Myung Moon have something to do with it?
Is Sun Myung Moon turning over a new leaf, or will he continue to
be a mystery? Only time will tell.
Peace be with you..
They call me Bruce
