Forward
It is important for those that read these speeches in the future to understand something about the context in which they were given.
Hyo-Jin-nim’s son, Shin-Gil-nim died in a traffic accident on 28 December 2005. Hyo-Jin-nim began speaking at Belvedere four days later on 01 January 2006.
Hyo-Jin-nim spoke every Sunday that he was available and delivered his final speech 09 March 2008.
These speeches began with the passing of Hyo-Jin-nim’s son and ended with his own passing, March 17th 2008.
Hyo-Jin-nim chose to deliver his words from the same stage at Belvedere where True Father spoke in the seventies, eighties, and into the nineties.
Hyo-Jin-nim’s speeches were attended by a relatively small group of those who loved him and appreciated the significance of True Father’s eldest son speaking again after an absence of several years.
There were members young and old, first and second generation, American, Korean, Japanese, European, and many other countries including the international leadership trainees who attended regularly.
In the beginning we were unknown to each other, but we became close brothers and sisters who loved our elder brother and each other.
After a few months Hyo-Jin-nim could recognize most of the regular attendees and he often expressed affection to us in his own way. It was very special.
Recording and transcribing his speeches every Sunday was a privilege and a blessing that I am unworthy of and will thank God for forever.
Nearly all the speeches in this volume are verbatim transcriptions from recordings. The first speeches are from Todd Kurylowicz who transcribed them from a video DVD. Next Hyang-Hwa Oh’s recordings provided the resource. By August 2006 I was recording and transcribing. When I couldn’t understand something, I would ask Hyo-Jin-nim’s assistant Janine Takahashi to ask him for clarification.
Hyo-Jin-nim and his staff were aware that these notes were being sent all over the world and Hyo-Jin-nim was pleased that they were.
Hyo-Jin-nim’s speeches were brief, but intense. He spoke straight from the heart. His words and directly experiencing these speeches changed all of us forever. I hope that by prayerfully studying these notes you can be changed forever too.

After the Passing of Shin-Gil-nim January 1, 2006 Belvedere
“It’s been a while. Seems like ten years since meeting members. Among the members here, I am sorry for not remembering the faces of some of the member. When hearing the communication about Shin Gil, I could not understand that as itself. The phone call was from my older sister. “Shin Gil was in a car accident. Did you hear?” I was in the midst of taking a shower.
Unfortunately, I have become a parent in a world where the child passes first. What is a person’s life? What kind of life makes it a meaningful life? The important thing is how to go through the final stage and how to go to the spirit world. Shin Gil only went to spirit world a bit before everyone else. At the time of the accident, the driver’s license read “Moon Shin Gil” and that made me at ease and peace. I called the cell phones of my other children and no one answered. However, no matter what others say, it does not change the fact that Shin Gil is my son, and the grandchild of my Father. The spirit world that Shin Gil went Heung Jin Nim is, and I know He will take care of him. Therefore it is okay that people not worry about Shin Gil going to the spirit world, and okay not to worry about me.
Honestly, I don’t know how it is going to be from now on. However, I know that Shin Gil is going to a good place. I don’t think I will talk long today. I will end briefly. Shin Gil has changed me to an even better human being. That phone call from the time of Shin Gil’s passing to the spirit world, my life has become a better life than before. From today onward, I wish to become a good human being. Shin Gil made me that way. Thank you very much”

“What is Father Doing?” January 8, 2006
How are you doing? Good… I’m doing fine
It’s been a while…it’s been, what…10 years, something like that
I didn’t come here to talk about me, that’s my problem. So I want to talk about what Father’s doing. And I’m here to help you.
So having said that, where should I start? Have you been attending Father’s speeches...Father’s rallies? What do you think is His main point? Why does He think that’s necessary? Do you feel it? Do you feel it in your heart? Do you feel it in your gut? Do you feel it in your body? (Audience responds….Yes) Well, I don’t think so.
Well let’s just start with the building a bridge over the Bering Strait. It’s like almost fifty miles long and wretched waters. I don’t know, it’s like forty-eight mile or something like that. They did some kind of feasibility study on a documentary ten years ago, still gets aired on one of those learning channel stuff. They always constantly update the money, in terms of the cost, but it’s doable, it is doable. If you can tunnel your way between England and continental Europe, it is doable, sure. We do have technology, it’s just tremendous, astronomically expensive. How do you afford it, so many countries have to come into play and basically between the Bering Straits your talking about America and the Soviet Union and trying to have get them to play and all those stuff. It’s a big, big, big responsibility. And I think, unless you have some kind of where with all in terms of practicality in terms of politics, economics, it’s very difficult, okay? But it’s doable, that’s where we start.
How do you start anything, when you haven’t done anything, and when it’s never been done before? Where do you start from? So, okay, you know, in order to understand Father’s reality, you have to understand a very simple concept, why is He here?!! What is He here to restore?! And who the hell are you? What are you made of?
When you look at yourself is there some kind of universality that we can all say, in unison, regardless of what cultural, in other words, you know kind of influential background that you come from based on thought and whatever environmental kind of happenings or whatever. Is there something that is universal? (Yes) So what is that? (couple of answers) How are you made of? If you have to define yourself, if you have to define yourself, how would you define yourself? (children of God…child of God).
Okay, well let’s put all that together, simply put, how many levels do you think you got? One, two, three…ten…twenty…million? Simply put, look at yourself first. You think you’re a spiritual being right? You struggle to be one. Okay, well talk about spirit. And you want to be intelligent right? You want to be smarter than the guy sitting next to you right? And you’re a physical being. However it plays out whether you want to be tougher than the other guy next to you or whatever. It becomes apparent that that matters to everybody. You measure each other based on those conditions.
Very simply three conditions…spirit, mind and body. I think that’s universal. If you’re going to start anything, if you’re going to try to reason anything and try to communicate to the rest of the world beyond yourself you have to find some kind of basic commonality where you can create a focus in which you can create some kind of uniformity in the end. Some reason some rationality. Without that basis there is no rationality, there’s not even a breath of it. It doesn’t matter, even if you want to sell an icicle to an Eskimo, you have to have something like that.
So having said that, what’s Father’s condition? What’s Father’s life? What’s Father’s course? And when you look at it, to me, it’s very simple. It echoes that kind of stuff. It basically echoes that individual manifestation and just on a larger scale, that’s about it. So all you need to do is always focus on what that is. What that individual responsibility is that magnifies to whatever level. That’s the key point of understanding what the hell He’s doing. Don’t look at it any other way, because you are and idiot if you do.
So all this historical stuff, what is, what does it represent? It’s just preparing the way for the Messiah? Do you believe in the Messiah? Okay, let’s say, I’m talking to this in-crowd here, you believe that shit, so be it. Excuse my language. (laughter) So be it. Okay, all of that is there to receive that spiritual entity, spiritual, that entity that represents that spirit, initially. And His course goes opposite, restoration is opposite. So it has to restore the intellect and the body, right? And that’s plainly been seen in history. So ideologically, there’s ideological wars, horizontally it’s just if you put Cain and Abel picture into the scene. WHY? BECAUSE IT’S A CONFLICT!!!
And we went through Cold War, right? Ideologically, yeah? That kind of stuff, that kind of stuff. And, that’s the intellectual stuff, crazy intellectual stuff, right? Now it’s coming down to the physical stuff, that’s about it. China will be the riches nation on earth in about over a decade. Everybody knows that. And that’s potentially conflicting to American presence. But it’s something and, something similar nature, right? They all want to be rich. It’s not like “I don’t believe in God, and you believe in God…I’m going to kill you mother…some bla, bla” You know I would always say it, but since I’ve been here, and since I’ve, It’s been a while, I’m going to try to hold back as much as I can. (audience laughter) That’s about it.
And when that happens, when that happens it’s a great time for us. Why? Because now we have something to work with, as long as there’s a conflict of interest, Parents can always put it right. (laughter) Isn’t that sad, but true. Then what?
It’s interesting because it will be connecting pretty much every archangel nation; America, Soviet Union, and your China. Any you talk about amenities and prices and of course that interest is there. Why? Because of oil. Why do you think you’re rich. Because you’re rich, you have the money to buy that stuff and you can spend it as much and you want. And of course in those areas there some kind of just backward kind of places, however they know your weaknesses. They know the nature of the indulgence of capitalism. That’s basically what they’re feeding on. And it doesn’t matter if it’s theocracy or dictatorship, it doesn’t matter. Because ultimately in the end they have to play to the people…that’s what they feed on. And whether you like it or not there’s no way you can stop that anymore. I mean even ten years ago, like fifteen years ago there wasn’t stuff to buy, they’re very expensive, but now it’s cheaper and it’s global, you know? You’re talking about tens of millions of dollars and they’re so god damn, excuse my language. It’s available to all. All those things, knowing what the nature is, it’s doable. It’s not that difficult. As long as you believe in what you are.
How many Christians out there want to see Father as the messiah? I remember a long time ago, about seventeen years ago, I was watching the 700 channel, and I talked about it to you, and he said actually on television “how can that little yellow man be the Messiah” What the…,What does he look like then? Blonde hair, blue eyes? They got some TV show on that said that least he’s not blonde haired at least not brunette haired. That’s funny. Do you think they really want to be judge, they want the Messiah to come and judge them? What’s he going to look like? What does the Messiah look like?
There’s a simple kind of step even to Father’s course, to when it comes to Father’s course. And he had to start with, kind of, spirit, mind and kind of body stuff, and kind of put it…teacher, parent, and now what do you say? It’s very difficult for some of you to understand.
Teacher is the body stuff, you understand me? I mean for many parents, I’m sure all of you had that parental experience, you don’t even feel like you’re a parent when you’re dealing with little monkeys, you know what I’m saying? They’re little monkey, they’re not even humans. And you try to teach them stuff, you know, you can’t even try to be a parent to them, they don’t understand what that stuff is. You’re basically dealing with physical monkeys.
And look just think about it, you understand, you have this church hierarchy, he used to be a president of UnificationChurch and he goes around to these seminaries and he’s trying to make a point. After all this time, you know he’s come to this realization that…of his success, you know, his understanding and why others who’s not here who’s thirty-six couple and who are thirty-six couple who were he’s from have failed. And talk about that kind of birth stuff…birth and children one, that conflict. The reason they fail, his conclusion is, the reason that they fail was because they believe in the children’s concept even to Father, even to the nature of Father. He was chose somehow, so they somehow ultimately can be chosen one too. That’s not of birth.
Why do you think, what do, even Christians think about birth rite anyway? Why don’t you play that to the man himself. You don’t want to put that just up on elder son crap. You know what I mean, you want to be a messiah, go ahead and be you. Why would anyone in their right mind want to be that miserable? But misery is relative, right?
Pain is relative, right? So is the opposite, right? Who gives a… What do you want? So it’s up to you too, that’s relative too. So, I didn’t come here to… I’ve really have seen a lot of crap these days, just recently, I mean unthinkable crap. And I don’t really give a… You know why, because I’m going to let someone else judge that…not me. I’ll move on forget it. I’ll try my best to find some forgiveness in my heart to do…Look…Okay…
So how can we help America? (laughter) Or god damn move on, okay. How can we help America? What the hell is America anyway? You know, there’s so much, you know, all my brothers have kind of gone to school and they got high education stuff. If only if we could use that kind of funds, all the blessings that we had in the past used it in a certain way and as well could be so much, okay, sure, but that’s in the past. And Father did it for His reasons, not yours. I mean I have more sympathy when it comes to that when it comes to the Japanese members than American members, that’s for sure. Because I deal with those interesting types, I like colorful things, colorful stuff. Even dealing with colorful, I don’t mind. I think that’s interesting, it’s exciting, it’s stimulating. Yeah, sometimes it’s the absolute opposite and it’s a pain in the, but that’s the stuff, that’s reality. So be it.
