Section 1. National Federation For The Unification Of North And South
(Part 1)

1. The Message Of The National Federation For The Unification Of North
And South

1) Introduction

My Dear Countrymen who are patriotic and who are wishing for
unification! Today we are here attending an event that every Korean
deeply longs for, the Inauguration of the National Federation Movement
for the Unification of North and South.

We are the "Korean People"; we are brothers of this word; we are a
single people. We have the history of 5,000 everlasting years, a
brilliant culture and tradition and an excellent language, and we use
these things for love and peace.

We are of the same form, same destiny. We have inherited the same
blood lineage and have the same beautiful nature. However, this is
already the 42nd year of the historical division of North and South,
something that no one welcomed; not even nature desired it. The great
and joyful independence which was paid for by the blood of sincere
patriots 40 years ago was lost instantly, and so miserably; amidst
their suffering the division of our people and the emergence of North
and South occurred.

How long will the miserable tragedy of our people continue? Should we
abandon the hope of unifying the fatherland, of unifying our people,
since there seems to be no sign of unifying North and South? (May 15,
1987 at the Little Angels Art Hall, Seoul, Korea)

2) The Reason to Organize The National Federation

My fellow countrymen, here today, I am proclaiming that the
unification of our Fatherland will be achieved absolutely and that the
time is imminent. Today, we are here to kindle this disposition by
establishing the National Foundation for the Unification of North and
South.

Ever since 1945, we have sought how we can brightly achieve the
restoration of our homeland. The independence and clear restoration of
our great homeland this century was accomplished by two factors.

One is the movement for independence by patriots inside Korea and
abroad who for 36 years had shed their blood in defiance of Japanese
imperialism. The other factor is the defeat of Japanese Imperialism at
the end of World War II, which brought world peace. Suddenly, because
of these two factors, our homeland was established.

In a similar fashion, the unification of North and South will be
accomplished. The corruption in the Communist world centered on the
USSR, which lasted for almost 70 years, is drawing near its end. Its
70-year history of failure has not hidden the fact that it is a farce
and a deception. The decline of the Communist ideology is connected
with the fate of Kim Il Sung in North Korea and this will be the
element that will influence the unification of North and South
worldwide.

Because of the changes in the world situation, we need to have faith;
we need a movement inside our nation and abroad that will work for the
unification of North and South Korea. We must burn with the fire of
wishing for our unification. There is an old Korean proverb, "Where
there is a will there is a way"; also, another wise Korean maxim,
"Sincerity reaches to Heaven." How can we desire unification without
wishing and being determined more than heaven and earth, more than
North Korea? We must be burning with the desire for unification. This
is the reason why we are here today-to establish the "National
Federation Movement for the Unification of North and South."

3) The 38th Parallel

Today, first of all, we need to realize that the 38th Parallel is not
just a geographical division but that the 38th Parallel is a resentful
dividing line of blood lineage and of ideologies that are contrary to
each other.

During the Korean War we killed one another while belonging to the
same people; it was not that we did not know that we were not of
different people, not of different blood lineage. This happened due to
the differing views of value that could not meet half-way. This
severed our nation's ties and blood lineage. This then became a
terrible, fearful wall that separated relations between father and
son.

4) Confrontation of Theism and Atheism

So, what is the basic difference between these viewpoints of value
that are against each other?

The basic confrontation of these views of value that is similar to the
confrontation centered on the 38th parallel is the confrontation
between theism and atheism. First of all, the Communist ideology
starts with the absolute denial of God's existence. Since God is
non-existent, the concept of absolute value and the standard of good
and evil are also non-existent. Therefore in the principle of
Communist revolution, achievement of its purpose is justified by any
means.

Through science, Communism denied the existence of God. Also, they
believed that the development of science prescribed the existence of
Communism and that God and religion are just some form of superstition
or myth. After Communism declared that religion is the opiate of the
masses, did 20th-century science deny God and religion as myths?

No, it didn't. Though Communism is proud of science, even 20th-century
science itself started to prove the existence of God and conquered
over the 19th-century notion that God is only superstition.

Let us look at one example. Based on 19th-century science, dialectical
materialism, which declares that material was original in the cosmos,
states that the cosmos is absolute and cannot further divide; but in
the 20th century new physics is overturning this view of the cosmos.

This is because it was proven as an undeniable truth that the material
produced by energy, which is invisible, is transforming and has
reciprocity.

This new physics, which is leading the 20th century, is affirming that
the formation of the universe was not established without some form of
will present in the cosmos and, through scientific principles, it is
also making clear that the existence of the first cause in the
universe was not itself an accidental product originating from the
cosmos.

Science is asserting that man and the cosmos where created by a
"causal being," which in religion we call God. This Being has
intellect, emotion and will, and the creation of man is an expression
of His personality. His purpose of creation is to receive joy from man
and to give love to man who resembles Him. Therefore, to say that "God
is not existing" is similar to stating that children have no parents.

The view of value which recognizes the Creator and the relation ship
man has with Him will harmonize all the different groups in human
society. Communism, which tried to erase God from this earth, became
exposed as falsehood by the science that Communists so strongly
believed in. It has been exposed that the Communist view of value must
be eradicated from this world.

5) Communism's Mistaken View of Man

Communism treats man as some higher form of animal and like some
physical material similar to a machine. This is their proper
conclusion since Communism denies the existence of God. Communism
declares that man evolved from the apes and reason and language
developed as tools for production. Since production is treated as a
god, they then assert that man is only some higher form of animal.

Since this Communist view of man is the basic problem, it leads to
terrible consequences for man. When man is just a higher form of
animal, man has no reason to assert his rights. When man degenerates
to the level of a machine, man has no foundation to aspire for
freedom, love and creativity. In this Communist society, man is just a
short distance away from violence.

Naturally, man only has human value when he is coincident with the
purpose of Communism. Only at that time. At any other time man has no
persistent value. This is the reason that in the Communist world man
is treated insignificantly like an insect. During the 60 years of the
Communist regime in Russia, the French magazine, Rue Figaro (Nov. 18,
1978 edition) exposed the finding that at least 150 million humans who
were against Communism were exterminated. This is the result of the
Communist view of man. This is very evident.

6) The True View of Man

Man's divinity and human life originated from man being the child of
God, his creator. Man's human value comes from having the same divine
nature as God's. If anyone harms another, it is similar to harming
God. If a man loves another, it is the same as loving God. Each human
is created by God as a true individual entity. Being the substantial
expression of God, man's life is as eternal as God's. The worst crime
of Communism was not just the denial of God but with that the
treatment of man as an animal. Communism considers man as a higher
form of animal and as a living matter similar to a machine. Thus, the
structure of the Communist system denies man his dignity. The
confrontation of these two views of value which are contrary to each
other does not occur exclusively in the Korean peninsula but presently
occurs in every place in the world.

This is now the era of the battle of the views of value of North and
South on a global level. Without resolving the confrontation of the
views of value, the unification of North and South will fade like an
illusion; furthermore, without finding a solution to Korea we cannot
offer a solution to the problem of the world. The same formula that
will solve the problem of Korea can solve the problem of the world.

7) View of Value Through Godism

Ladies and Gentlemen, the solution to the inaccurate attitude towards
the view of value is to advocate Godism. Godism is the ideology of
liberation from materialism, from worldly humanism; in explaining the
existence of God and the sanctity of human life, the Communist world
and Western civilization, which are declining, can be liberated. With
this ideology we can liberate and save North Korea. The reason for
this movement of Unification of North and South is to begin the
establishment of this view of value.

Only unification with freedom is true freedom.

When we see first the confrontation of the views of value which are
against each other, we should be deeply impressed that only
unification in freedom is true unification.

Our unification must be the base for God, freedom and democracy. Any
other kind of unification is not true unification.

The rights and privileges of our North Korean brothers have been
plundered for 42 years. Like us, they also desire to enjoy freedom.
This is true unification.

We have to team an important lesson from Vietnam. Vietnam was not
unified. It became the slave of Russia. It did not achieve true
unification. During twelve years of Communism in Vietnam, people who
wanted to pursue freedom became "boat people" -- a couple of hundreds
of thousands -- and many died in the ocean. Another couple million
people were massacred. Communist Vietnam, which was called "unified,
deteriorated to become the worst and poorest nation in the world,
having a GNP of not even a hundred dollars. No one would label this is
as "true unification."

Our North Korean brothers need a true revolution. The revolution that
they have waited patiently for is only possible when we stand and lead
to bring them world peace and prosperity. For us South Koreans, who
have lived a prosperous life, this is our sacred duty towards our
North Korean brothers.

For 40 years till now the only policy of unification that the
Communist Party in North Korea has had is one of polarization, and
they have been ceaselessly waiting for the realization of this
opportunity. Their final goal of revolution is that "South Korea
should be liberated from the occupation of American Imperialism and be
made a unified Fatherland where the South Korean people will have the
same ideology as the North Korean people." To make the South Korean
people believe in the same ideology, in other words "to arm them with
Kim Il Sung's unique thought," means to absolutely obey and be
occupied under the doctrine of Kim Il Sung's "Father-Son." It means
being a slave to Kim Il Sung.

Using their bitter experiences of defeat in the Korean war, North
Korea has been ceaselessly attempting for more than 30 years to invade
South Korea with the pretext of liberating the oppressed people of
South Korea; therefore, this present time is very precarious.

Even though the tension between North and South Korea is at a high
level, South Korea has earned worldwide admiration for its financial
and economic development and has improved its international stature.

Indeed, based on the 1985 GNP, the difference between South Korea and
North Korea is respectively 5.5 against 1, and South Korea has
evidently achieved a record of attaining 20th place as a developed
country and 12th place as a world trading partner.

After the 1988 Seoul Olympics it will be as clear as fire that South
Korea has attained an undeniably favorable position economically and
militarily. Thus, any military maneuvers are due to the realization by
Kim Il Sung's party that the opportunity to achieve their goal through
polarization by military means will be eliminated forever and they
want to prevent this from happening before it's too late.

From now until one or two years later there is a possibility that
North Korea in a desperate effort will choose military adventurism;
further, any news or information of deterioration and chaos in South
Korean politics can only serve as an explosive to hinder the
commencement of the Seoul Olympics.

The establishment of the National Federation Movement for the
Unification of North and South comes at a very historical and
important time.

8) Let's Arm with Ideology

What should the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South do at this time?

First of all, we need to arm ourselves with the true view of value
towards our nation, so that peaceful settlement and agreement can
occur. The weak point of the "free countries" such as America is the
existence of emptiness in their ideology. Excessive materialism and
the misuse of freedom brings chaos to their view of value and promotes
worldly humanism. This is the reason the Communist world will not give
up its ambition for world Bolshevization until the very end.

World War III is the war of ideologies. We cannot triumph over
Communism solely through military means. For Communism to be defeated,
we need to have a better ideology than the Communists. This ideology
can only be an ideology based on truth. There is no such ideology
other than Godism!

Without changing its ideology, without arming with the Unification
Thought of Godism, the free world will find it impossible to triumph
over Communism. The National Federation Movement for the Unification
of North and South must take the offensive as the movement of
pan-nationalism.

Godism serves not only to liberate our North Korean brothers but also
gives salvation to the world from Communism. This ideology will serve
as an opportunity to create a huge awakening in the Western world from
its corruption through disillusion and immorality.

For this reason in 1976, I initiated the historical conference of the
Declaration of Godism, in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United
States of America.

I did this because I have faith and confidence that through Godism the
Communist world can be liberated. The original reason why Communism
did not decline rapidly is that up until now we didn't have any clear
ideology. We were not armed with a better ideology. Therefore, from
now on, let us start to extend Godism to overcome Communism and its
movement from South Korea. How can we wish for unification without
having an ideological offensive to overwhelm Kim Il Sung's solitary
dogma that is full of unjust demands and lies?

9) Godism Is the Movement of Headwing

Unification Thought, Godism, is also the idea of Headwing. Headwing,
which is neither right-wing nor left-wing, can realize real human
peace which cannot be accomplished by either the right wing or the
left wing. The reason for this is that both right wing and left wing
cannot escape their original initiation from "selfishism"; their
pursuit centering only on their own countries and on their own selves
is an eternal battle of self-interests which cannot result in peace
and unification. Now a new global "ism" has to appear which can break
down "selfishism."

"Unselfishism," which is living for the sake of others more than one's
own self, appears only with God's ideal. No other doctrine can have
this kind of unselfishness-one that can bring life-because God is the
substance of love, the essence of love-one that sacrifices one's self.
Love is the essence of Godism; this is the central ideal which is
similar to the physical "head" which give orders to move the whole
physical body. This is the Headwing ideology. The right hand and the
left hand accompany one single body. If the body has no head, then
they will fight each other like strangers; but if the head occupies
the central position, then the right hand and the left hand obey the
orders from the heart, working cooperatively for the whole body.

Therefore, the unification of North and South has to be accomplished
through the Headwing ideology. This will in effect cause North Korea
not to make unification through polarization and at the same time
cause South Korea not to invade North Korea. By "Headism," which is
the Headwing ideology of interdependence through mutual prosperity and
the universal sharing of values found in God, the unification of North
and South can be accomplished.

10) Lets Face the Unification of North and South

Secondly, we need to have a continuous desire for unification. Without
that desire, its fulfillment cannot come. This National Federation
Movement needs to make a commitment for the unification of North and
South Korea. Unification is not just solely our national aspiration
but also inevitably our destiny. When our intellect follows up on
unification, I believe God is achieving this.

At this point it is not enough to say that we need to defeat North
Korea. They have a stronger desire to liberate South Korea. They have
the sacrificial attitude to invest wholeheartedly in order to achieve
this. Without acquiring a stronger sacrificial desire to absolutely
liberate our unfortunate brothers in North Korea, unification would
only be a dream. Therefore, I am planning to inspire desire through
the establishment, by this National Federation, of "unification prayer
centers" and "unification training centers" near the 38th Parallel in
order to instill in the hearts of our 40 million countrymen an intense
desire for unification with North Korea.

11) Let's Develop Our Capability

Thirdly, we have to cultivate and raise our capability. The idea of
unification necessitates the development of our capability in every
field for this very purpose. We have to force Kim Il Sung to abandon
his ambition of polarization and his plan to invade South Korea, and
open the closed society of North Korea. In order for Kim Il Sung to
abandon his ideology, we have to overcome his Party in any kind of
field and direction.

So, as I have already said, the establishment of the view of value and
arming ourselves with that ideology is a very important goal. Then we
must extend and improve our country in terms of international
position. The most important capability is to establish an advanced
democratic society for our nation.

Only true democracy can triumph over dictatorship. Only through the
development of an ideal democratic government is it possible to defeat
any dictatorial group centered on worshipping individuals. The
statement made by Abraham Lincoln, "A government of the people, for
the people, and by the people," is true. Democracy should be our
national conscience's highest priority, having historical proportions.

12) Encourage International Support for Unification

For the sake of the unification of North and South Korea, an important
issue is to develop a worldwide disposition for the urgency of
unification. Centered on the United States and the nations around the
Korean Peninsula such as Japan and China, we need to be armed with an
ideology focused in a positive direction. We hope to make them realize
that eventually North Korea cannot continue to exist in isolation, by
mobilizing Russia to influence North Korea to open up its closed
society. We have to create the situation of international pressure so
that they themselves will want to be free from Communism and will
think of cooperating for the nation.

Kim Il Sung's organization, which seems formidable but is really an
illusion, will soon collapse and fall down because it is rooted in
deception.

With the establishment of The Washington Times in America we initiated
a worldwide movement of ideally educating the free world, an intention
that I had for a long time; we are also organizing around the globe to
form many newspapers, to educate the world media, to give direction to
university professors worldwide, to guide student movements in every
nation, to bring about cooperation among various South American
countries and to form understanding among the world religions.
Already, I have devoted myself to build the foundation to induce North
Korean liberation by trying to influence America, Japan, Europe and
South America, and, finally, China.

Korea is in a very delicate position, geographically and politically.
America, Japan, Russia, and China, have deep interests in the Korean
peninsula; therefore, the great achievement of our unification will be
to guide in a profitable direction the influences of these four strong
world powers. I accomplished this influence and this ability through
the movement of education of ideology on the world level; without
doing this, the unification of the Fatherland will never be
accomplished.

The "National Federation Movement for the Unification of North and
South" cannot start without the foundation of individual Korean
effort, and cannot start without other countries in Asia as well as
with the United Nations, which has a deep connection with each nation
of the world. Thus, our National Federation should develop to an Asian
National Federation and then to a World National Federation. This is
the desire of all humanity and also the desire of God.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Now we have to accept that the great work
nationwide and worldwide begins here. You who are gathered here are
offering a helping hand to those saints that are gathered in this
place and are receiving this historical responsibility of unification
by organizing the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South.

Our national spirit has to be liberated to an ideology of "respect
heaven and love the people" which is similar to that of our national
ancestor King Dan. Today our noble nation elevates the ideology of
saving the world from the chaos of the views of value to the salvation
of all things; it will mean that "Godism was born in this place."

Since I believe that Korea is a microcosm of the world, the world's
problem is inseparably related to the resolution of the Korean
problem. Another way of looking at it is to say the method that can
solve the world problem was born in Korea. It was! We explained that
Godism, which is the method of unifying North and South, became the
method to solve secular humanism and save the world from Communism.

Ladies and Gentlemen. We are establishing this view of value for each
other. Let us rouse ourselves to action with the weapon of the
national ideology. Together, we earnestly wish for the unification of
North and South. Let us have faith. Let us burn with the zeal that can
penetrate the impregnable.

Let us establish the worldwide foundation by acting through this
National Foundation Movement for the Unification of North and South
with the determination to achieve God's Will by our own hands and with
the confidence to heroically work on the front line, on the place of
unification of North and South, as the eternal historical people!

Ladies and Gentlemen. Let us pledge with clenched fists and with
determination in our minds in this sacred place where we are gathered
to be the battle group for unification! Let us go forward united until
our dream, the unification of North and South, is achieved.

May God bless you and your family. This is the message of the National
Federation Movement of the Unification of North and South.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the solution to the inaccurate attitude towards
the view of value is to advocate Godism. Godism is the ideology of
liberation from materialism, from worldly humanism; in explaining the
existence of God and the sanctity of human life, the Communist world
and Western civilization, which are declining, can be liberated. With
this ideology we can liberate and save North Korea. The reason for
this movement of Unification of North and South is to begin the
establishment of this view of value.

Only unification with freedom is true freedom.

When we see first the confrontation of the views of value which are
against each other, we should be deeply impressed that only
unification in freedom is true unification.

Our unification must be the base for God, freedom and democracy. Any
other kind of unification is not true unification.

The rights and privileges of our North Korean brothers have been
plundered for 42 years. Like us, they also desire to enjoy freedom.
This is true unification.

We have to team an important lesson from Vietnam. Vietnam was not
unified. It became the slave of Russia. It did not achieve true
unification. During twelve years of Communism in Vietnam, people who
wanted to pursue freedom became "boat people" -- a couple of hundreds
of thousands -- and many died in the ocean. Another couple million
people were massacred. Communist Vietnam, which was called "unified,
deteriorated to become the worst and poorest nation in the world,
having a GNP of not even a hundred dollars. No one would label this is
as "true unification."

Our North Korean brothers need a true revolution. The revolution that
they have waited patiently for is only possible when we stand and lead
to bring them world peace and prosperity. For us South Koreans, who
have lived a prosperous life, this is our sacred duty towards our
North Korean brothers.

For 40 years till now the only policy of unification that the
Communist Party in North Korea has had is one of polarization, and
they have been ceaselessly waiting for the realization of this
opportunity. Their final goal of revolution is that "South Korea
should be liberated from the occupation of American Imperialism and be
made a unified Fatherland where the South Korean people will have the
same ideology as the North Korean people." To make the South Korean
people believe in the same ideology, in other words "to arm them with
Kim Il Sung's unique thought," means to absolutely obey and be
occupied under the doctrine of Kim Il Sung's "Father-Son." It means
being a slave to Kim Il Sung.

Using their bitter experiences of defeat in the Korean war, North
Korea has been ceaselessly attempting for more than 30 years to invade
South Korea with the pretext of liberating the oppressed people of
South Korea; therefore, this present time is very precarious.

Even though the tension between North and South Korea is at a high
level, South Korea has earned worldwide admiration for its financial
and economic development and has improved its international stature.

Indeed, based on the 1985 GNP, the difference between South Korea and
North Korea is respectively 5.5 against 1, and South Korea has
evidently achieved a record of attaining 20th place as a developed
country and 12th place as a world trading partner.

After the 1988 Seoul Olympics it will be as clear as fire that South
Korea has attained an undeniably favorable position economically and
militarily. Thus, any military maneuvers are due to the realization by
Kim Il Sung's party that the opportunity to achieve their goal through
polarization by military means will be eliminated forever and they
want to prevent this from happening before it's too late.

From now until one or two years later there is a possibility that
North Korea in a desperate effort will choose military adventurism;
further, any news or information of deterioration and chaos in South
Korean politics can only serve as an explosive to hinder the
commencement of the Seoul Olympics.

The establishment of the National Federation Movement for the
Unification of North and South comes at a very historical and
important time.

8) Let's Arm with Ideology

What should the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South do at this time?

First of all, we need to arm ourselves with the true view of value
towards our nation, so that peaceful settlement and agreement can
occur. The weak point of the "free countries" such as America is the
existence of emptiness in their ideology. Excessive materialism and
the misuse of freedom brings chaos to their view of value and promotes
worldly humanism. This is the reason the Communist world will not give
up its ambition for world Bolshevization until the very end.

World War III is the war of ideologies. We cannot triumph over
Communism solely through military means. For Communism to be defeated,
we need to have a better ideology than the Communists. This ideology
can only be an ideology based on truth. There is no such ideology
other than Godism!

Without changing its ideology, without arming with the Unification
Thought of Godism, the free world will find it impossible to triumph
over Communism. The National Federation Movement for the Unification
of North and South must take the offensive as the movement of
pan-nationalism.

Godism serves not only to liberate our North Korean brothers but also
gives salvation to the world from Communism. This ideology will serve
as an opportunity to create a huge awakening in the Western world from
its corruption through disillusion and immorality.

For this reason in 1976, I initiated the historical conference of the
Declaration of Godism, in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United
States of America.

I did this because I have faith and confidence that through Godism the
Communist world can be liberated. The original reason why Communism
did not decline rapidly is that up until now we didn't have any clear
ideology. We were not armed with a better ideology. Therefore, from
now on, let us start to extend Godism to overcome Communism and its
movement from South Korea. How can we wish for unification without
having an ideological offensive to overwhelm Kim Il Sung's solitary
dogma that is full of unjust demands and lies?

9) Godism Is the Movement of Headwing

Unification Thought, Godism, is also the idea of Headwing. Headwing,
which is neither right-wing nor left-wing, can realize real human
peace which cannot be accomplished by either the right wing or the
left wing. The reason for this is that both right wing and left wing
cannot escape their original initiation from "selfishism"; their
pursuit centering only on their own countries and on their own selves
is an eternal battle of self-interests which cannot result in peace
and unification. Now a new global "ism" has to appear which can break
down "selfishism."

"Unselfishism," which is living for the sake of others more than one's
own self, appears only with God's ideal. No other doctrine can have
this kind of unselfishness-one that can bring life-because God is the
substance of love, the essence of love-one that sacrifices one's self.
Love is the essence of Godism; this is the central ideal which is
similar to the physical "head" which give orders to move the whole
physical body. This is the Headwing ideology. The right hand and the
left hand accompany one single body. If the body has no head, then
they will fight each other like strangers; but if the head occupies
the central position, then the right hand and the left hand obey the
orders from the heart, working cooperatively for the whole body.

Therefore, the unification of North and South has to be accomplished
through the Headwing ideology. This will in effect cause North Korea
not to make unification through polarization and at the same time
cause South Korea not to invade North Korea. By "Headism," which is
the Headwing ideology of interdependence through mutual prosperity and
the universal sharing of values found in God, the unification of North
and South can be accomplished.

10) Lets Face the Unification of North and South

Secondly, we need to have a continuous desire for unification. Without
that desire, its fulfillment cannot come. This National Federation
Movement needs to make a commitment for the unification of North and
South Korea. Unification is not just solely our national aspiration
but also inevitably our destiny. When our intellect follows up on
unification, I believe God is achieving this.

At this point it is not enough to say that we need to defeat North
Korea. They have a stronger desire to liberate South Korea. They have
the sacrificial attitude to invest wholeheartedly in order to achieve
this. Without acquiring a stronger sacrificial desire to absolutely
liberate our unfortunate brothers in North Korea, unification would
only be a dream. Therefore, I am planning to inspire desire through
the establishment, by this National Federation, of "unification prayer
centers" and "unification training centers" near the 38th Parallel in
order to instill in the hearts of our 40 million countrymen an intense
desire for unification with North Korea.

11) Let's Develop Our Capability

Thirdly, we have to cultivate and raise our capability. The idea of
unification necessitates the development of our capability in every
field for this very purpose. We have to force Kim Il Sung to abandon
his ambition of polarization and his plan to invade South Korea, and
open the closed society of North Korea. In order for Kim Il Sung to
abandon his ideology, we have to overcome his Party in any kind of
field and direction.

So, as I have already said, the establishment of the view of value and
arming ourselves with that ideology is a very important goal. Then we
must extend and improve our country in terms of international
position. The most important capability is to establish an advanced
democratic society for our nation.

Only true democracy can triumph over dictatorship. Only through the
development of an ideal democratic government is it possible to defeat
any dictatorial group centered on worshipping individuals. The
statement made by Abraham Lincoln, "A government of the people, for
the people, and by the people," is true. Democracy should be our
national conscience's highest priority, having historical proportions.

12) Encourage International Support for Unification

For the sake of the unification of North and South Korea, an important
issue is to develop a worldwide disposition for the urgency of
unification. Centered on the United States and the nations around the
Korean Peninsula such as Japan and China, we need to be armed with an
ideology focused in a positive direction. We hope to make them realize
that eventually North Korea cannot continue to exist in isolation, by
mobilizing Russia to influence North Korea to open up its closed
society. We have to create the situation of international pressure so
that they themselves will want to be free from Communism and will
think of cooperating for the nation.

Kim Il Sung's organization, which seems formidable but is really an
illusion, will soon collapse and fall down because it is rooted in
deception.

With the establishment of The Washington Times in America we initiated
a worldwide movement of ideally educating the free world, an intention
that I had for a long time; we are also organizing around the globe to
form many newspapers, to educate the world media, to give direction to
university professors worldwide, to guide student movements in every
nation, to bring about cooperation among various South American
countries and to form understanding among the world religions.
Already, I have devoted myself to build the foundation to induce North
Korean liberation by trying to influence America, Japan, Europe and
South America, and, finally, China.

Korea is in a very delicate position, geographically and politically.
America, Japan, Russia, and China, have deep interests in the Korean
peninsula; therefore, the great achievement of our unification will be
to guide in a profitable direction the influences of these four strong
world powers. I accomplished this influence and this ability through
the movement of education of ideology on the world level; without
doing this, the unification of the Fatherland will never be
accomplished.

The "National Federation Movement for the Unification of North and
South" cannot start without the foundation of individual Korean
effort, and cannot start without other countries in Asia as well as
with the United Nations, which has a deep connection with each nation
of the world. Thus, our National Federation should develop to an Asian
National Federation and then to a World National Federation. This is
the desire of all humanity and also the desire of God.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Now we have to accept that the great work
nationwide and worldwide begins here. You who are gathered here are
offering a helping hand to those saints that are gathered in this
place and are receiving this historical responsibility of unification
by organizing the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South.

Our national spirit has to be liberated to an ideology of "respect
heaven and love the people" which is similar to that of our national
ancestor King Dan. Today our noble nation elevates the ideology of
saving the world from the chaos of the views of value to the salvation
of all things; it will mean that "Godism was born in this place."

Since I believe that Korea is a microcosm of the world, the world's
problem is inseparably related to the resolution of the Korean
problem. Another way of looking at it is to say the method that can
solve the world problem was born in Korea. It was! We explained that
Godism, which is the method of unifying North and South, became the
method to solve secular humanism and save the world from Communism.

Ladies and Gentlemen. We are establishing this view of value for each
other. Let us rouse ourselves to action with the weapon of the
national ideology. Together, we earnestly wish for the unification of
North and South. Let us have faith. Let us burn with the zeal that can
penetrate the impregnable.

Let us establish the worldwide foundation by acting through this
National Foundation Movement for the Unification of North and South
with the determination to achieve God's Will by our own hands and with
the confidence to heroically work on the front line, on the place of
unification of North and South, as the eternal historical people!

Ladies and Gentlemen. Let us pledge with clenched fists and with
determination in our minds in this sacred place where we are gathered
to be the battle group for unification! Let us go forward united until
our dream, the unification of North and South, is achieved.

May God bless you and your family. This is the message of the National
Federation Movement of the Unification of North and South.

Way Of Unification (Part 2)

by Rev. Sun Myung Moon

Section 1. National Federation For The Unification Of North And South
(Part 1)

1. The Message Of The National Federation For The Unification Of North
And South

1) Introduction

My Dear Countrymen who are patriotic and who are wishing for
unification! Today we are here attending an event that every Korean
deeply longs for, the Inauguration of the National Federation Movement
for the Unification of North and South.

We are the "Korean People"; we are brothers of this word; we are a
single people. We have the history of 5,000 everlasting years, a
brilliant culture and tradition and an excellent language, and we use
these things for love and peace.

We are of the same form, same destiny. We have inherited the same
blood lineage and have the same beautiful nature. However, this is
already the 42nd year of the historical division of North and South,
something that no one welcomed; not even nature desired it. The great
and joyful independence which was paid for by the blood of sincere
patriots 40 years ago was lost instantly, and so miserably; amidst
their suffering the division of our people and the emergence of North
and South occurred.

How long will the miserable tragedy of our people continue? Should we
abandon the hope of unifying the fatherland, of unifying our people,
since there seems to be no sign of unifying North and South? (May 15,
1987 at the Little Angels Art Hall, Seoul, Korea)

2) The Reason to Organize The National Federation

My fellow countrymen, here today, I am proclaiming that the
unification of our Fatherland will be achieved absolutely and that the
time is imminent. Today, we are here to kindle this disposition by
establishing the National Foundation for the Unification of North and
South.

Ever since 1945, we have sought how we can brightly achieve the
restoration of our homeland. The independence and clear restoration of
our great homeland this century was accomplished by two factors.

One is the movement for independence by patriots inside Korea and
abroad who for 36 years had shed their blood in defiance of Japanese
imperialism. The other factor is the defeat of Japanese Imperialism at
the end of World War II, which brought world peace. Suddenly, because
of these two factors, our homeland was established.

In a similar fashion, the unification of North and South will be
accomplished. The corruption in the Communist world centered on the
USSR, which lasted for almost 70 years, is drawing near its end. Its
70-year history of failure has not hidden the fact that it is a farce
and a deception. The decline of the Communist ideology is connected
with the fate of Kim Il Sung in North Korea and this will be the
element that will influence the unification of North and South
worldwide.

Because of the changes in the world situation, we need to have faith;
we need a movement inside our nation and abroad that will work for the
unification of North and South Korea. We must burn with the fire of
wishing for our unification. There is an old Korean proverb, "Where
there is a will there is a way"; also, another wise Korean maxim,
"Sincerity reaches to Heaven." How can we desire unification without
wishing and being determined more than heaven and earth, more than
North Korea? We must be burning with the desire for unification. This
is the reason why we are here today-to establish the "National
Federation Movement for the Unification of North and South."

3) The 38th Parallel

Today, first of all, we need to realize that the 38th Parallel is not
just a geographical division but that the 38th Parallel is a resentful
dividing line of blood lineage and of ideologies that are contrary to
each other.

During the Korean War we killed one another while belonging to the
same people; it was not that we did not know that we were not of
different people, not of different blood lineage. This happened due to
the differing views of value that could not meet half-way. This
severed our nation's ties and blood lineage. This then became a
terrible, fearful wall that separated relations between father and
son.

4) Confrontation of Theism and Atheism

So, what is the basic difference between these viewpoints of value
that are against each other?

The basic confrontation of these views of value that is similar to the
confrontation centered on the 38th parallel is the confrontation
between theism and atheism. First of all, the Communist ideology
starts with the absolute denial of God's existence. Since God is
non-existent, the concept of absolute value and the standard of good
and evil are also non-existent. Therefore in the principle of
Communist revolution, achievement of its purpose is justified by any
means.

Through science, Communism denied the existence of God. Also, they
believed that the development of science prescribed the existence of
Communism and that God and religion are just some form of superstition
or myth. After Communism declared that religion is the opiate of the
masses, did 20th-century science deny God and religion as myths?

No, it didn't. Though Communism is proud of science, even 20th-century
science itself started to prove the existence of God and conquered
over the 19th-century notion that God is only superstition.

Let us look at one example. Based on 19th-century science, dialectical
materialism, which declares that material was original in the cosmos,
states that the cosmos is absolute and cannot further divide; but in
the 20th century new physics is overturning this view of the cosmos.

This is because it was proven as an undeniable truth that the material
produced by energy, which is invisible, is transforming and has
reciprocity.

This new physics, which is leading the 20th century, is affirming that
the formation of the universe was not established without some form of
will present in the cosmos and, through scientific principles, it is
also making clear that the existence of the first cause in the
universe was not itself an accidental product originating from the
cosmos.

Science is asserting that man and the cosmos where created by a
"causal being," which in religion we call God. This Being has
intellect, emotion and will, and the creation of man is an expression
of His personality. His purpose of creation is to receive joy from man
and to give love to man who resembles Him. Therefore, to say that "God
is not existing" is similar to stating that children have no parents.

The view of value which recognizes the Creator and the relation ship
man has with Him will harmonize all the different groups in human
society. Communism, which tried to erase God from this earth, became
exposed as falsehood by the science that Communists so strongly
believed in. It has been exposed that the Communist view of value must
be eradicated from this world.

5) Communism's Mistaken View of Man

Communism treats man as some higher form of animal and like some
physical material similar to a machine. This is their proper
conclusion since Communism denies the existence of God. Communism
declares that man evolved from the apes and reason and language
developed as tools for production. Since production is treated as a
god, they then assert that man is only some higher form of animal.

Since this Communist view of man is the basic problem, it leads to
terrible consequences for man. When man is just a higher form of
animal, man has no reason to assert his rights. When man degenerates
to the level of a machine, man has no foundation to aspire for
freedom, love and creativity. In this Communist society, man is just a
short distance away from violence.

Naturally, man only has human value when he is coincident with the
purpose of Communism. Only at that time. At any other time man has no
persistent value. This is the reason that in the Communist world man
is treated insignificantly like an insect. During the 60 years of the
Communist regime in Russia, the French magazine, Rue Figaro (Nov. 18,
1978 edition) exposed the finding that at least 150 million humans who
were against Communism were exterminated. This is the result of the
Communist view of man. This is very evident.

6) The True View of Man

Man's divinity and human life originated from man being the child of
God, his creator. Man's human value comes from having the same divine
nature as God's. If anyone harms another, it is similar to harming
God. If a man loves another, it is the same as loving God. Each human
is created by God as a true individual entity. Being the substantial
expression of God, man's life is as eternal as God's. The worst crime
of Communism was not just the denial of God but with that the
treatment of man as an animal. Communism considers man as a higher
form of animal and as a living matter similar to a machine. Thus, the
structure of the Communist system denies man his dignity. The
confrontation of these two views of value which are contrary to each
other does not occur exclusively in the Korean peninsula but presently
occurs in every place in the world.

This is now the era of the battle of the views of value of North and
South on a global level. Without resolving the confrontation of the
views of value, the unification of North and South will fade like an
illusion; furthermore, without finding a solution to Korea we cannot
offer a solution to the problem of the world. The same formula that
will solve the problem of Korea can solve the problem of the world.

7) View of Value Through Godism

Ladies and Gentlemen, the solution to the inaccurate attitude towards
the view of value is to advocate Godism. Godism is the ideology of
liberation from materialism, from worldly humanism; in explaining the
existence of God and the sanctity of human life, the Communist world
and Western civilization, which are declining, can be liberated. With
this ideology we can liberate and save North Korea. The reason for

South Korea with the pretext of liberating the oppressed people of
South Korea; therefore, this present time is very precarious.

Even though the tension between North and South Korea is at a high

and economic development and has improved its international stature.

Indeed, based on the 1985 GNP, the difference between South Korea and
North Korea is respectively 5.5 against 1, and South Korea has
evidently achieved a record of attaining 20th place as a developed
country and 12th place as a world trading partner.

From now until one or two years later there is a possibility that
North Korea in a desperate effort will choose military adventurism;
further, any news or information of deterioration and chaos in South
Korean politics can only serve as an explosive to hinder the
commencement of the Seoul Olympics.

The establishment of the National Federation Movement for the
Unification of North and South comes at a very historical and
important time.

8) Let's Arm with Ideology

What should the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South do at this time?

First of all, we need to arm ourselves with the true view of value

existence of emptiness in their ideology. Excessive materialism and
the misuse of freedom brings chaos to their view of value and promotes
worldly humanism. This is the reason the Communist world will not give

pan-nationalism.

Godism serves not only to liberate our North Korean brothers but also
gives salvation to the world from Communism. This ideology will serve
as an opportunity to create a huge awakening in the Western world from

Only true democracy can triumph over dictatorship. Only through the
development of an ideal democratic government is it possible to defeat
any dictatorial group centered on worshipping individuals. The
statement made by Abraham Lincoln, "A government of the people, for
the people, and by the people," is true. Democracy should be our
national conscience's highest priority, having historical proportions.

12) Encourage International Support for Unification

For the sake of the unification of North and South Korea, an important
issue is to develop a worldwide disposition for the urgency of
unification. Centered on the United States and the nations around the
Korean Peninsula such as Japan and China, we need to be armed with an
ideology focused in a positive direction. We hope to make them realize
that eventually North Korea cannot continue to exist in isolation, by
mobilizing Russia to influence North Korea to open up its closed
society. We have to create the situation of international pressure so
that they themselves will want to be free from Communism and will
think of cooperating for the nation.

Kim Il Sung's organization, which seems formidable but is really an
illusion, will soon collapse and fall down because it is rooted in
deception.

With the establishment of The Washington Times in America we initiated
a worldwide movement of ideally educating the free world, an intention
that I had for a long time; we are also organizing around the globe to
form many newspapers, to educate the world media, to give direction to
university professors worldwide, to guide student movements in every
nation, to bring about cooperation among various South American
countries and to form understanding among the world religions.
Already, I have devoted myself to build the foundation to induce North
Korean liberation by trying to influence America, Japan, Europe and
South America, and, finally, China.

Korea is in a very delicate position, geographically and politically.
America, Japan, Russia, and China, have deep interests in the Korean
peninsula; therefore, the great achievement of our unification will be
to guide in a profitable direction the influences of these four strong
world powers. I accomplished this influence and this ability through
the movement of education of ideology on the world level; without
doing this, the unification of the Fatherland will never be
accomplished.

The "National Federation Movement for the Unification of North and
South" cannot start without the foundation of individual Korean
effort, and cannot start without other countries in Asia as well as
with the United Nations, which has a deep connection with each nation
of the world. Thus, our National Federation should develop to an Asian
National Federation and then to a World National Federation. This is
the desire of all humanity and also the desire of God.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Now we have to accept that the great work
nationwide and worldwide begins here. You who are gathered here are
offering a helping hand to those saints that are gathered in this
place and are receiving this historical responsibility of unification
by organizing the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South.

Our national spirit has to be liberated to an ideology of "respect
heaven and love the people" which is similar to that of our national
ancestor King Dan. Today our noble nation elevates the ideology of
saving the world from the chaos of the views of value to the salvation
of all things; it will mean that "Godism was born in this place."

Since I believe that Korea is a microcosm of the world, the world's
problem is inseparably related to the resolution of the Korean
problem. Another way of looking at it is to say the method that can
solve the world problem was born in Korea. It was! We explained that
Godism, which is the method of unifying North and South, became the
method to solve secular humanism and save the world from Communism.

Ladies and Gentlemen. We are establishing this view of value for each
other. Let us rouse ourselves to action with the weapon of the
national ideology. Together, we earnestly wish for the unification of
North and South. Let us have faith. Let us burn with the zeal that can
penetrate the impregnable.

Let us establish the worldwide foundation by acting through this
National Foundation Movement for the Unification of North and South
with the determination to achieve God's Will by our own hands and with
the confidence to heroically work on the front line, on the place of
unification of North and South, as the eternal historical people!

Ladies and Gentlemen. Let us pledge with clenched fists and with
determination in our minds in this sacred place where we are gathered
to be the battle group for unification! Let us go forward united until
our dream, the unification of North and South, is achieved.

May God bless you and your family. This is the message of the National
Federation Movement of the Unification of North and South.

Way Of Unification (Part 2)

by Rev. Sun Myung Moon

Section 1. National Federation For The Unification Of North And South
(Part 1)

1. The Message Of The National Federation For The Unification Of North
And South

1) Introduction

My Dear Countrymen who are patriotic and who are wishing for
unification! Today we are here attending an event that every Korean
deeply longs for, the Inauguration of the National Federation Movement
for the Unification of North and South.

We are the "Korean People"; we are brothers of this word; we are a
single people. We have the history of 5,000 everlasting years, a
brilliant culture and tradition and an excellent language, and we use
these things for love and peace.

We are of the same form, same destiny. We have inherited the same
blood lineage and have the same beautiful nature. However, this is
already the 42nd year of the historical division of North and South,
something that no one welcomed; not even nature desired it. The great
and joyful independence which was paid for by the blood of sincere
patriots 40 years ago was lost instantly, and so miserably; amidst
their suffering the division of our people and the emergence of North
and South occurred.

How long will the miserable tragedy of our people continue? Should we
abandon the hope of unifying the fatherland, of unifying our people,
since there seems to be no sign of unifying North and South? (May 15,
1987 at the Little Angels Art Hall, Seoul, Korea)

2) The Reason to Organize The National Federation

My fellow countrymen, here today, I am proclaiming that the
unification of our Fatherland will be achieved absolutely and that the
time is imminent. Today, we are here to kindle this disposition by
establishing the National Foundation for the Unification of North and
South.

Ever since 1945, we have sought how we can brightly achieve the
restoration of our homeland. The independence and clear restoration of
our great homeland this century was accomplished by two factors.

One is the movement for independence by patriots inside Korea and
abroad who for 36 years had shed their blood in defiance of Japanese
imperialism. The other factor is the defeat of Japanese Imperialism at
the end of World War II, which brought world peace. Suddenly, because
of these two factors, our homeland was established.

In a similar fashion, the unification of North and South will be
accomplished. The corruption in the Communist world centered on the
USSR, which lasted for almost 70 years, is drawing near its end. Its
70-year history of failure has not hidden the fact that it is a farce
and a deception. The decline of the Communist ideology is connected
with the fate of Kim Il Sung in North Korea and this will be the
element that will influence the unification of North and South
worldwide.

Because of the changes in the world situation, we need to have faith;
we need a movement inside our nation and abroad that will work for the
unification of North and South Korea. We must burn with the fire of
wishing for our unification. There is an old Korean proverb, "Where
there is a will there is a way"; also, another wise Korean maxim,
"Sincerity reaches to Heaven." How can we desire unification without
wishing and being determined more than heaven and earth, more than
North Korea? We must be burning with the desire for unification. This
is the reason why we are here today-to establish the "National
Federation Movement for the Unification of North and South."

3) The 38th Parallel

Today, first of all, we need to realize that the 38th Parallel is not
just a geographical division but that the 38th Parallel is a resentful
dividing line of blood lineage and of ideologies that are contrary to
each other.

During the Korean War we killed one another while belonging to the
same people; it was not that we did not know that we were not of
different people, not of different blood lineage. This happened due to
the differing views of value that could not meet half-way. This
severed our nation's ties and blood lineage. This then became a
terrible, fearful wall that separated relations between father and
son.

4) Confrontation of Theism and Atheism

So, what is the basic difference between these viewpoints of value
that are against each other?

The basic confrontation of these views of value that is similar to the
confrontation centered on the 38th parallel is the confrontation
between theism and atheism. First of all, the Communist ideology
starts with the absolute denial of God's existence. Since God is
non-existent, the concept of absolute value and the standard of good
and evil are also non-existent. Therefore in the principle of
Communist revolution, achievement of its purpose is justified by any
means.

Through science, Communism denied the existence of God. Also, they
believed that the development of science prescribed the existence of
Communism and that God and religion are just some form of superstition
or myth. After Communism declared that religion is the opiate of the
masses, did 20th-century science deny God and religion as myths?

No, it didn't. Though Communism is proud of science, even 20th-century
science itself started to prove the existence of God and conquered
over the 19th-century notion that God is only superstition.

Let us look at one example. Based on 19th-century science, dialectical
materialism, which declares that material was original in the cosmos,
states that the cosmos is absolute and cannot further divide; but in
the 20th century new physics is overturning this view of the cosmos.

This is because it was proven as an undeniable truth that the material
produced by energy, which is invisible, is transforming and has
reciprocity.

This new physics, which is leading the 20th century, is affirming that
the formation of the universe was not established without some form of
will present in the cosmos and, through scientific principles, it is
also making clear that the existence of the first cause in the
universe was not itself an accidental product originating from the
cosmos.

Science is asserting that man and the cosmos where created by a
"causal being," which in religion we call God. This Being has
intellect, emotion and will, and the creation of man is an expression
of His personality. His purpose of creation is to receive joy from man
and to give love to man who resembles Him. Therefore, to say that "God
is not existing" is similar to stating that children have no parents.

The view of value which recognizes the Creator and the relation ship
man has with Him will harmonize all the different groups in human
society. Communism, which tried to erase God from this earth, became
exposed as falsehood by the science that Communists so strongly
believed in. It has been exposed that the Communist view of value must
be eradicated from this world.

5) Communism's Mistaken View of Man

Communism treats man as some higher form of animal and like some
physical material similar to a machine. This is their proper
conclusion since Communism denies the existence of God. Communism
declares that man evolved from the apes and reason and language
developed as tools for production. Since production is treated as a
god, they then assert that man is only some higher form of animal.

Since this Communist view of man is the basic problem, it leads to
terrible consequences for man. When man is just a higher form of
animal, man has no reason to assert his rights. When man degenerates
to the level of a machine, man has no foundation to aspire for
freedom, love and creativity. In this Communist society, man is just a
short distance away from violence.

Naturally, man only has human value when he is coincident with the
purpose of Communism. Only at that time. At any other time man has no
persistent value. This is the reason that in the Communist world man
is treated insignificantly like an insect. During the 60 years of the
Communist regime in Russia, the French magazine, Rue Figaro (Nov. 18,
1978 edition) exposed the finding that at least 150 million humans who
were against Communism were exterminated. This is the result of the
Communist view of man. This is very evident.

6) The True View of Man

Man's divinity and human life originated from man being the child of
God, his creator. Man's human value comes from having the same divine
nature as God's. If anyone harms another, it is similar to harming
God. If a man loves another, it is the same as loving God. Each human
is created by God as a true individual entity. Being the substantial
expression of God, man's life is as eternal as God's. The worst crime
of Communism was not just the denial of God but with that the
treatment of man as an animal. Communism considers man as a higher
form of animal and as a living matter similar to a machine. Thus, the
structure of the Communist system denies man his dignity. The
confrontation of these two views of value which are contrary to each
other does not occur exclusively in the Korean peninsula but presently
occurs in every place in the world.

This is now the era of the battle of the views of value of North and
South on a global level. Without resolving the confrontation of the
views of value, the unification of North and South will fade like an
illusion; furthermore, without finding a solution to Korea we cannot
offer a solution to the problem of the world. The same formula that
will solve the problem of Korea can solve the problem of the world.

7) View of Value Through Godism

Ladies and Gentlemen, the solution to the inaccurate attitude towards
the view of value is to advocate Godism. Godism is the ideology of
liberation from materialism, from worldly humanism; in explaining the
existence of God and the sanctity of human life, the Communist world
and Western civilization, which are declining, can be liberated. With
this ideology we can liberate and save North Korea. The reason for
this movement of Unification of North and South is to begin the
establishment of this view of value.

Only unification with freedom is true freedom.

When we see first the confrontation of the views of value which are
against each other, we should be deeply impressed that only
unification in freedom is true unification.

Our unification must be the base for God, freedom and democracy. Any
other kind of unification is not true unification.

The rights and privileges of our North Korean brothers have been
plundered for 42 years. Like us, they also desire to enjoy freedom.
This is true unification.

We have to team an important lesson from Vietnam. Vietnam was not
unified. It became the slave of Russia. It did not achieve true
unification. During twelve years of Communism in Vietnam, people who
wanted to pursue freedom became "boat people" -- a couple of hundreds
of thousands -- and many died in the ocean. Another couple million
people were massacred. Communist Vietnam, which was called "unified,
deteriorated to become the worst and poorest nation in the world,
having a GNP of not even a hundred dollars. No one would label this is
as "true unification."

Our North Korean brothers need a true revolution. The revolution that
they have waited patiently for is only possible when we stand and lead
to bring them world peace and prosperity. For us South Koreans, who
have lived a prosperous life, this is our sacred duty towards our
North Korean brothers.

For 40 years till now the only policy of unification that the
Communist Party in North Korea has had is one of polarization, and
they have been ceaselessly waiting for the realization of this
opportunity. Their final goal of revolution is that "South Korea
should be liberated from the occupation of American Imperialism and be
made a unified Fatherland where the South Korean people will have the
same ideology as the North Korean people." To make the South Korean
people believe in the same ideology, in other words "to arm them with
Kim Il Sung's unique thought," means to absolutely obey and be
occupied under the doctrine of Kim Il Sung's "Father-Son." It means
being a slave to Kim Il Sung.

Using their bitter experiences of defeat in the Korean war, North
Korea has been ceaselessly attempting for more than 30 years to invade
South Korea with the pretext of liberating the oppressed people of
South Korea; therefore, this present time is very precarious.

Even though the tension between North and South Korea is at a high
level, South Korea has earned worldwide admiration for its financial
and economic development and has improved its international stature.

Indeed, based on the 1985 GNP, the difference between South Korea and
North Korea is respectively 5.5 against 1, and South Korea has
evidently achieved a record of attaining 20th place as a developed
country and 12th place as a world trading partner.

After the 1988 Seoul Olympics it will be as clear as fire that South
Korea has attained an undeniably favorable position economically and
militarily. Thus, any military maneuvers are due to the realization by
Kim Il Sung's party that the opportunity to achieve their goal through
polarization by military means will be eliminated forever and they
want to prevent this from happening before it's too late.

From now until one or two years later there is a possibility that
North Korea in a desperate effort will choose military adventurism;
further, any news or information of deterioration and chaos in South
Korean politics can only serve as an explosive to hinder the
commencement of the Seoul Olympics.

The establishment of the National Federation Movement for the
Unification of North and South comes at a very historical and
important time.

8) Let's Arm with Ideology

What should the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South do at this time?

First of all, we need to arm ourselves with the true view of value
towards our nation, so that peaceful settlement and agreement can
occur. The weak point of the "free countries" such as America is the
existence of emptiness in their ideology. Excessive materialism and
the misuse of freedom brings chaos to their view of value and promotes
worldly humanism. This is the reason the Communist world will not give
up its ambition for world Bolshevization until the very end.

World War III is the war of ideologies. We cannot triumph over
Communism solely through military means. For Communism to be defeated,
we need to have a better ideology than the Communists. This ideology
can only be an ideology based on truth. There is no such ideology
other than Godism!

Without changing its ideology, without arming with the Unification
Thought of Godism, the free world will find it impossible to triumph
over Communism. The National Federation Movement for the Unification
of North and South must take the offensive as the movement of
pan-nationalism.

Godism serves not only to liberate our North Korean brothers but also
gives salvation to the world from Communism. This ideology will serve
as an opportunity to create a huge awakening in the Western world from
its corruption through disillusion and immorality.

For this reason in 1976, I initiated the historical conference of the
Declaration of Godism, in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United
States of America.

I did this because I have faith and confidence that through Godism the
Communist world can be liberated. The original reason why Communism
did not decline rapidly is that up until now we didn't have any clear
ideology. We were not armed with a better ideology. Therefore, from
now on, let us start to extend Godism to overcome Communism and its
movement from South Korea. How can we wish for unification without
having an ideological offensive to overwhelm Kim Il Sung's solitary
dogma that is full of unjust demands and lies?

9) Godism Is the Movement of Headwing

Unification Thought, Godism, is also the idea of Headwing. Headwing,
which is neither right-wing nor left-wing, can realize real human
peace which cannot be accomplished by either the right wing or the
left wing. The reason for this is that both right wing and left wing
cannot escape their original initiation from "selfishism"; their
pursuit centering only on their own countries and on their own selves
is an eternal battle of self-interests which cannot result in peace
and unification. Now a new global "ism" has to appear which can break
down "selfishism."

"Unselfishism," which is living for the sake of others more than one's
own self, appears only with God's ideal. No other doctrine can have
this kind of unselfishness-one that can bring life-because God is the
substance of love, the essence of love-one that sacrifices one's self.
Love is the essence of Godism; this is the central ideal which is
similar to the physical "head" which give orders to move the whole
physical body. This is the Headwing ideology. The right hand and the
left hand accompany one single body. If the body has no head, then
they will fight each other like strangers; but if the head occupies
the central position, then the right hand and the left hand obey the
orders from the heart, working cooperatively for the whole body.

Therefore, the unification of North and South has to be accomplished
through the Headwing ideology. This will in effect cause North Korea
not to make unification through polarization and at the same time
cause South Korea not to invade North Korea. By "Headism," which is
the Headwing ideology of interdependence through mutual prosperity and
the universal sharing of values found in God, the unification of North
and South can be accomplished.

10) Lets Face the Unification of North and South

Secondly, we need to have a continuous desire for unification. Without
that desire, its fulfillment cannot come. This National Federation
Movement needs to make a commitment for the unification of North and
South Korea. Unification is not just solely our national aspiration
but also inevitably our destiny. When our intellect follows up on
unification, I believe God is achieving this.

At this point it is not enough to say that we need to defeat North
Korea. They have a stronger desire to liberate South Korea. They have
the sacrificial attitude to invest wholeheartedly in order to achieve
this. Without acquiring a stronger sacrificial desire to absolutely
liberate our unfortunate brothers in North Korea, unification would
only be a dream. Therefore, I am planning to inspire desire through
the establishment, by this National Federation, of "unification prayer
centers" and "unification training centers" near the 38th Parallel in
order to instill in the hearts of our 40 million countrymen an intense
desire for unification with North Korea.

11) Let's Develop Our Capability

Thirdly, we have to cultivate and raise our capability. The idea of
unification necessitates the development of our capability in every
field for this very purpose. We have to force Kim Il Sung to abandon
his ambition of polarization and his plan to invade South Korea, and
open the closed society of North Korea. In order for Kim Il Sung to
abandon his ideology, we have to overcome his Party in any kind of
field and direction.

So, as I have already said, the establishment of the view of value and
arming ourselves with that ideology is a very important goal. Then we
must extend and improve our country in terms of international
position. The most important capability is to establish an advanced
democratic society for our nation.

Only true democracy can triumph over dictatorship. Only through the
development of an ideal democratic government is it possible to defeat
any dictatorial group centered on worshipping individuals. The
statement made by Abraham Lincoln, "A government of the people, for
the people, and by the people," is true. Democracy should be our
national conscience's highest priority, having historical proportions.

12) Encourage International Support for Unification

For the sake of the unification of North and South Korea, an important
issue is to develop a worldwide disposition for the urgency of
unification. Centered on the United States and the nations around the
Korean Peninsula such as Japan and China, we need to be armed with an
ideology focused in a positive direction. We hope to make them realize
that eventually North Korea cannot continue to exist in isolation, by
mobilizing Russia to influence North Korea to open up its closed
society. We have to create the situation of international pressure so
that they themselves will want to be free from Communism and will
think of cooperating for the nation.

Kim Il Sung's organization, which seems formidable but is really an
illusion, will soon collapse and fall down because it is rooted in
deception.

With the establishment of The Washington Times in America we initiated
a worldwide movement of ideally educating the free world, an intention
that I had for a long time; we are also organizing around the globe to
form many newspapers, to educate the world media, to give direction to
university professors worldwide, to guide student movements in every
nation, to bring about cooperation among various South American
countries and to form understanding among the world religions.
Already, I have devoted myself to build the foundation to induce North
Korean liberation by trying to influence America, Japan, Europe and
South America, and, finally, China.

Korea is in a very delicate position, geographically and politically.
America, Japan, Russia, and China, have deep interests in the Korean
peninsula; therefore, the great achievement of our unification will be
to guide in a profitable direction the influences of these four strong
world powers. I accomplished this influence and this ability through
the movement of education of ideology on the world level; without
doing this, the unification of the Fatherland will never be
accomplished.

The "National Federation Movement for the Unification of North and
South" cannot start without the foundation of individual Korean
effort, and cannot start without other countries in Asia as well as
with the United Nations, which has a deep connection with each nation
of the world. Thus, our National Federation should develop to an Asian
National Federation and then to a World National Federation. This is
the desire of all humanity and also the desire of God.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Now we have to accept that the great work
nationwide and worldwide begins here. You who are gathered here are
offering a helping hand to those saints that are gathered in this
place and are receiving this historical responsibility of unification
by organizing the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South.

Our national spirit has to be liberated to an ideology of "respect
heaven and love the people" which is similar to that of our national
ancestor King Dan. Today our noble nation elevates the ideology of
saving the world from the chaos of the views of value to the salvation
of all things; it will mean that "Godism was born in this place."

Since I believe that Korea is a microcosm of the world, the world's
problem is inseparably related to the resolution of the Korean
problem. Another way of looking at it is to say the method that can
solve the world problem was born in Korea. It was! We explained that
Godism, which is the method of unifying North and South, became the
method to solve secular humanism and save the world from Communism.

Ladies and Gentlemen. We are establishing this view of value for each
other. Let us rouse ourselves to action with the weapon of the
national ideology. Together, we earnestly wish for the unification of
North and South. Let us have faith. Let us burn with the zeal that can
penetrate the impregnable.

Let us establish the worldwide foundation by acting through this
National Foundation Movement for the Unification of North and South
with the determination to achieve God's Will by our own hands and with
the confidence to heroically work on the front line, on the place of
unification of North and South, as the eternal historical people!

Ladies and Gentlemen. Let us pledge with clenched fists and with
determination in our minds in this sacred place where we are gathered
to be the battle group for unification! Let us go forward united until
our dream, the unification of North and South, is achieved.

May God bless you and your family. This is the message of the National

Today, first of all, we need to realize that the 38th Parallel is not

dividing line of blood lineage and of ideologies that are contrary to
each other.

During the Korean War we killed one another while belonging to the
same people; it was not that we did not know that we were not of
different people, not of different blood lineage. This happened due to
the differing views of value that could not meet half-way. This
severed our nation's ties and blood lineage. This then became a
terrible, fearful wall that separated relations between father and
son.

4) Confrontation of Theism and Atheism

So, what is the basic difference between these viewpoints of value
that are against each other?

The basic confrontation of these views of value that is similar to the
confrontation centered on the 38th parallel is the confrontation
between theism and atheism. First of all, the Communist ideology
starts with the absolute denial of God's existence. Since God is
non-existent, the concept of absolute value and the standard of good
and evil are also non-existent. Therefore in the principle of
Communist revolution, achievement of its purpose is justified by any
means.

Through science, Communism denied the existence of God. Also, they
believed that the development of science prescribed the existence of
Communism and that God and religion are just some form of superstition
or myth. After Communism declared that religion is the opiate of the
masses, did 20th-century science deny God and religion as myths?

No, it didn't. Though Communism is proud of science, even 20th-century
science itself started to prove the existence of God and conquered
over the 19th-century notion that God is only superstition.

Let us look at one example. Based on 19th-century science, dialectical
materialism, which declares that material was original in the cosmos,
states that the cosmos is absolute and cannot further divide; but in
the 20th century new physics is overturning this view of the cosmos.

This is because it was proven as an undeniable truth that the material
produced by energy, which is invisible, is transforming and has
reciprocity.

This new physics, which is leading the 20th century, is affirming that
the formation of the universe was not established without some form of
will present in the cosmos and, through scientific principles, it is
also making clear that the existence of the first cause in the
universe was not itself an accidental product originating from the
cosmos.

Science is asserting that man and the cosmos where created by a
"causal being," which in religion we call God. This Being has
intellect, emotion and will, and the creation of man is an expression
of His personality. His purpose of creation is to receive joy from man
and to give love to man who resembles Him. Therefore, to say that "God
is not existing" is similar to stating that children have no parents.

The view of value which recognizes the Creator and the relation ship
man has with Him will harmonize all the different groups in human
society. Communism, which tried to erase God from this earth, became
exposed as falsehood by the science that Communists so strongly
believed in. It has been exposed that the Communist view of value must
be eradicated from this world.

5) Communism's Mistaken View of Man

Communism treats man as some higher form of animal and like some
physical material similar to a machine. This is their proper
conclusion since Communism denies the existence of God. Communism
declares that man evolved from the apes and reason and language
developed as tools for production. Since production is treated as a
god, they then assert that man is only some higher form of animal.

Since this Communist view of man is the basic problem, it leads to
terrible consequences for man. When man is just a higher form of
animal, man has no reason to assert his rights. When man degenerates
to the level of a machine, man has no foundation to aspire for
freedom, love and creativity. In this Communist society, man is just a
short distance away from violence.

Naturally, man only has human value when he is coincident with the
purpose of Communism. Only at that time. At any other time man has no
persistent value. This is the reason that in the Communist world man
is treated insignificantly like an insect. During the 60 years of the
Communist regime in Russia, the French magazine, Rue Figaro (Nov. 18,
1978 edition) exposed the finding that at least 150 million humans who
were against Communism were exterminated. This is the result of the
Communist view of man. This is very evident.

6) The True View of Man

Man's divinity and human life originated from man being the child of
God, his creator. Man's human value comes from having the same divine
nature as God's. If anyone harms another, it is similar to harming
God. If a man loves another, it is the same as loving God. Each human
is created by God as a true individual entity. Being the substantial
expression of God, man's life is as eternal as God's. The worst crime
of Communism was not just the denial of God but with that the
treatment of man as an animal. Communism considers man as a higher
form of animal and as a living matter similar to a machine. Thus, the
structure of the Communist system denies man his dignity. The
confrontation of these two views of value which are contrary to each
other does not occur exclusively in the Korean peninsula but presently
occurs in every place in the world.

This is now the era of the battle of the views of value of North and
South on a global level. Without resolving the confrontation of the
views of value, the unification of North and South will fade like an
illusion; furthermore, without finding a solution to Korea we cannot
offer a solution to the problem of the world. The same formula that
will solve the problem of Korea can solve the problem of the world.

7) View of Value Through Godism

Ladies and Gentlemen, the solution to the inaccurate attitude towards
the view of value is to advocate Godism. Godism is the ideology of
liberation from materialism, from worldly humanism; in explaining the
existence of God and the sanctity of human life, the Communist world
and Western civilization, which are declining, can be liberated. With
this ideology we can liberate and save North Korea. The reason for
this movement of Unification of North and South is to begin the
establishment of this view of value.

Only unification with freedom is true freedom.

When we see first the confrontation of the views of value which are
against each other, we should be deeply impressed that only
unification in freedom is true unification.

Our unification must be the base for God, freedom and democracy. Any
other kind of unification is not true unification.

The rights and privileges of our North Korean brothers have been
plundered for 42 years. Like us, they also desire to enjoy freedom.
This is true unification.

We have to team an important lesson from Vietnam. Vietnam was not
unified. It became the slave of Russia. It did not achieve true
unification. During twelve years of Communism in Vietnam, people who
wanted to pursue freedom became "boat people" -- a couple of hundreds
of thousands -- and many died in the ocean. Another couple million
people were massacred. Communist Vietnam, which was called "unified,
deteriorated to become the worst and poorest nation in the world,
having a GNP of not even a hundred dollars. No one would label this is
as "true unification."

Our North Korean brothers need a true revolution. The revolution that
they have waited patiently for is only possible when we stand and lead
to bring them world peace and prosperity. For us South Koreans, who
have lived a prosperous life, this is our sacred duty towards our
North Korean brothers.

For 40 years till now the only policy of unification that the
Communist Party in North Korea has had is one of polarization, and
they have been ceaselessly waiting for the realization of this
opportunity. Their final goal of revolution is that "South Korea
should be liberated from the occupation of American Imperialism and be
made a unified Fatherland where the South Korean people will have the
same ideology as the North Korean people." To make the South Korean
people believe in the same ideology, in other words "to arm them with
Kim Il Sung's unique thought," means to absolutely obey and be
occupied under the doctrine of Kim Il Sung's "Father-Son." It means
being a slave to Kim Il Sung.

Using their bitter experiences of defeat in the Korean war, North
Korea has been ceaselessly attempting for more than 30 years to invade
South Korea with the pretext of liberating the oppressed people of
South Korea; therefore, this present time is very precarious.

Even though the tension between North and South Korea is at a high
level, South Korea has earned worldwide admiration for its financial
and economic development and has improved its international stature.

Indeed, based on the 1985 GNP, the difference between South Korea and
North Korea is respectively 5.5 against 1, and South Korea has
evidently achieved a record of attaining 20th place as a developed
country and 12th place as a world trading partner.

After the 1988 Seoul Olympics it will be as clear as fire that South
Korea has attained an undeniably favorable position economically and
militarily. Thus, any military maneuvers are due to the realization by
Kim Il Sung's party that the opportunity to achieve their goal through
polarization by military means will be eliminated forever and they
want to prevent this from happening before it's too late.

From now until one or two years later there is a possibility that
North Korea in a desperate effort will choose military adventurism;
further, any news or information of deterioration and chaos in South
Korean politics can only serve as an explosive to hinder the
commencement of the Seoul Olympics.

The establishment of the National Federation Movement for the
Unification of North and South comes at a very historical and
important time.

8) Let's Arm with Ideology

What should the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South do at this time?

First of all, we need to arm ourselves with the true view of value
towards our nation, so that peaceful settlement and agreement can
occur. The weak point of the "free countries" such as America is the
existence of emptiness in their ideology. Excessive materialism and
the misuse of freedom brings chaos to their view of value and promotes
worldly humanism. This is the reason the Communist world will not give
up its ambition for world Bolshevization until the very end.

World War III is the war of ideologies. We cannot triumph over
Communism solely through military means. For Communism to be defeated,
we need to have a better ideology than the Communists. This ideology
can only be an ideology based on truth. There is no such ideology
other than Godism!

Without changing its ideology, without arming with the Unification
Thought of Godism, the free world will find it impossible to triumph
over Communism. The National Federation Movement for the Unification
of North and South must take the offensive as the movement of
pan-nationalism.

Godism serves not only to liberate our North Korean brothers but also
gives salvation to the world from Communism. This ideology will serve
as an opportunity to create a huge awakening in the Western world from
its corruption through disillusion and immorality.

For this reason in 1976, I initiated the historical conference of the
Declaration of Godism, in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United
States of America.

I did this because I have faith and confidence that through Godism the
Communist world can be liberated. The original reason why Communism
did not decline rapidly is that up until now we didn't have any clear
ideology. We were not armed with a better ideology. Therefore, from
now on, let us start to extend Godism to overcome Communism and its
movement from South Korea. How can we wish for unification without
having an ideological offensive to overwhelm Kim Il Sung's solitary
dogma that is full of unjust demands and lies?

9) Godism Is the Movement of Headwing

Unification Thought, Godism, is also the idea of Headwing. Headwing,
which is neither right-wing nor left-wing, can realize real human
peace which cannot be accomplished by either the right wing or the
left wing. The reason for this is that both right wing and left wing
cannot escape their original initiation from "selfishism"; their
pursuit centering only on their own countries and on their own selves
is an eternal battle of self-interests which cannot result in peace
and unification. Now a new global "ism" has to appear which can break
down "selfishism."

"Unselfishism," which is living for the sake of others more than one's
own self, appears only with God's ideal. No other doctrine can have
this kind of unselfishness-one that can bring life-because God is the
substance of love, the essence of love-one that sacrifices one's self.
Love is the essence of Godism; this is the central ideal which is
similar to the physical "head" which give orders to move the whole
physical body. This is the Headwing ideology. The right hand and the
left hand accompany one single body. If the body has no head, then
they will fight each other like strangers; but if the head occupies
the central position, then the right hand and the left hand obey the
orders from the heart, working cooperatively for the whole body.

Therefore, the unification of North and South has to be accomplished
through the Headwing ideology. This will in effect cause North Korea
not to make unification through polarization and at the same time
cause South Korea not to invade North Korea. By "Headism," which is
the Headwing ideology of interdependence through mutual prosperity and
the universal sharing of values found in God, the unification of North
and South can be accomplished.

10) Lets Face the Unification of North and South

Secondly, we need to have a continuous desire for unification. Without
that desire, its fulfillment cannot come. This National Federation
Movement needs to make a commitment for the unification of North and
South Korea. Unification is not just solely our national aspiration
but also inevitably our destiny. When our intellect follows up on
unification, I believe God is achieving this.

At this point it is not enough to say that we need to defeat North
Korea. They have a stronger desire to liberate South Korea. They have
the sacrificial attitude to invest wholeheartedly in order to achieve
this. Without acquiring a stronger sacrificial desire to absolutely
liberate our unfortunate brothers in North Korea, unification would
only be a dream. Therefore, I am planning to inspire desire through
the establishment, by this National Federation, of "unification prayer
centers" and "unification training centers" near the 38th Parallel in
order to instill in the hearts of our 40 million countrymen an intense
desire for unification with North Korea.

11) Let's Develop Our Capability

Thirdly, we have to cultivate and raise our capability. The idea of
unification necessitates the development of our capability in every
field for this very purpose. We have to force Kim Il Sung to abandon
his ambition of polarization and his plan to invade South Korea, and
open the closed society of North Korea. In order for Kim Il Sung to
abandon his ideology, we have to overcome his Party in any kind of
field and direction.

So, as I have already said, the establishment of the view of value and
arming ourselves with that ideology is a very important goal. Then we
must extend and improve our country in terms of international
position. The most important capability is to establish an advanced
democratic society for our nation.

Only true democracy can triumph over dictatorship. Only through the
development of an ideal democratic government is it possible to defeat
any dictatorial group centered on worshipping individuals. The
statement made by Abraham Lincoln, "A government of the people, for
the people, and by the people," is true. Democracy should be our
national conscience's highest priority, having historical proportions.

12) Encourage International Support for Unification

For the sake of the unification of North and South Korea, an important
issue is to develop a worldwide disposition for the urgency of
unification. Centered on the United States and the nations around the
Korean Peninsula such as Japan and China, we need to be armed with an
ideology focused in a positive direction. We hope to make them realize
that eventually North Korea cannot continue to exist in isolation, by
mobilizing Russia to influence North Korea to open up its closed
society. We have to create the situation of international pressure so
that they themselves will want to be free from Communism and will
think of cooperating for the nation.

Kim Il Sung's organization, which seems formidable but is really an
illusion, will soon collapse and fall down because it is rooted in
deception.

With the establishment of The Washington Times in America we initiated
a worldwide movement of ideally educating the free world, an intention
that I had for a long time; we are also organizing around the globe to
form many newspapers, to educate the world media, to give direction to
university professors worldwide, to guide student movements in every
nation, to bring about cooperation among various South American
countries and to form understanding among the world religions.
Already, I have devoted myself to build the foundation to induce North
Korean liberation by trying to influence America, Japan, Europe and
South America, and, finally, China.

Korea is in a very delicate position, geographically and politically.
America, Japan, Russia, and China, have deep interests in the Korean
peninsula; therefore, the great achievement of our unification will be
to guide in a profitable direction the influences of these four strong
world powers. I accomplished this influence and this ability through
the movement of education of ideology on the world level; without
doing this, the unification of the Fatherland will never be
accomplished.

The "National Federation Movement for the Unification of North and
South" cannot start without the foundation of individual Korean
effort, and cannot start without other countries in Asia as well as
with the United Nations, which has a deep connection with each nation
of the world. Thus, our National Federation should develop to an Asian
National Federation and then to a World National Federation. This is
the desire of all humanity and also the desire of God.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Now we have to accept that the great work
nationwide and worldwide begins here. You who are gathered here are
offering a helping hand to those saints that are gathered in this
place and are receiving this historical responsibility of unification
by organizing the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South.

Our national spirit has to be liberated to an ideology of "respect
heaven and love the people" which is similar to that of our national
ancestor King Dan. Today our noble nation elevates the ideology of
saving the world from the chaos of the views of value to the salvation
of all things; it will mean that "Godism was born in this place."

Since I believe that Korea is a microcosm of the world, the world's
problem is inseparably related to the resolution of the Korean
problem. Another way of looking at it is to say the method that can
solve the world problem was born in Korea. It was! We explained that
Godism, which is the method of unifying North and South, became the
method to solve secular humanism and save the world from Communism.

Ladies and Gentlemen. We are establishing this view of value for each
other. Let us rouse ourselves to action with the weapon of the
national ideology. Together, we earnestly wish for the unification of
North and South. Let us have faith. Let us burn with the zeal that can
penetrate the impregnable.

Let us establish the worldwide foundation by acting through this
National Foundation Movement for the Unification of North and South
with the determination to achieve God's Will by our own hands and with
the confidence to heroically work on the front line, on the place of
unification of North and South, as the eternal historical people!

Ladies and Gentlemen. Let us pledge with clenched fists and with
determination in our minds in this sacred place where we are gathered
to be the battle group for unification! Let us go forward united until
our dream, the unification of North and South, is achieved.

May God bless you and your family. This is the message of the National
Federation Movement of the Unification of North and South.

Way Of Unification (Part 2)

by Rev. Sun Myung Moon

Section 1. National Federation For The Unification Of North And South
(Part 1)

1. The Message Of The National Federation For The Unification Of North
And South

1) Introduction

My Dear Countrymen who are patriotic and who are wishing for
unification! Today we are here attending an event that every Korean
deeply longs for, the Inauguration of the National Federation Movement
for the Unification of North and South.

We are the "Korean People"; we are brothers of this word; we are a
single people. We have the history of 5,000 everlasting years, a
brilliant culture and tradition and an excellent language, and we use
these things for love and peace.

We are of the same form, same destiny. We have inherited the same
blood lineage and have the same beautiful nature. However, this is
already the 42nd year of the historical division of North and South,
something that no one welcomed; not even nature desired it. The great
and joyful independence which was paid for by the blood of sincere
patriots 40 years ago was lost instantly, and so miserably; amidst
their suffering the division of our people and the emergence of North
and South occurred.

How long will the miserable tragedy of our people continue? Should we
abandon the hope of unifying the fatherland, of unifying our people,
since there seems to be no sign of unifying North and South? (May 15,
1987 at the Little Angels Art Hall, Seoul, Korea)

2) The Reason to Organize The National Federation

My fellow countrymen, here today, I am proclaiming that the
unification of our Fatherland will be achieved absolutely and that the
time is imminent. Today, we are here to kindle this disposition by
establishing the National Foundation for the Unification of North and
South.

Ever since 1945, we have sought how we can brightly achieve the
restoration of our homeland. The independence and clear restoration of
our great homeland this century was accomplished by two factors.

One is the movement for independence by patriots inside Korea and
abroad who for 36 years had shed their blood in defiance of Japanese
imperialism. The other factor is the defeat of Japanese Imperialism at
the end of World War II, which brought world peace. Suddenly, because
of these two factors, our homeland was established.

In a similar fashion, the unification of North and South will be
accomplished. The corruption in the Communist world centered on the
USSR, which lasted for almost 70 years, is drawing near its end. Its
70-year history of failure has not hidden the fact that it is a farce
and a deception. The decline of the Communist ideology is connected
with the fate of Kim Il Sung in North Korea and this will be the
element that will influence the unification of North and South
worldwide.

Because of the changes in the world situation, we need to have faith;
we need a movement inside our nation and abroad that will work for the
unification of North and South Korea. We must burn with the fire of
wishing for our unification. There is an old Korean proverb, "Where
there is a will there is a way"; also, another wise Korean maxim,
"Sincerity reaches to Heaven." How can we desire unification without
wishing and being determined more than heaven and earth, more than
North Korea? We must be burning with the desire for unification. This
is the reason why we are here today-to establish the "National
Federation Movement for the Unification of North and South."

3) The 38th Parallel

Today, first of all, we need to realize that the 38th Parallel is not
just a geographical division but that the 38th Parallel is a resentful
dividing line of blood lineage and of ideologies that are contrary to
each other.

During the Korean War we killed one another while belonging to the
same people; it was not that we did not know that we were not of
different people, not of different blood lineage. This happened due to
the differing views of value that could not meet half-way. This
severed our nation's ties and blood lineage. This then became a
terrible, fearful wall that separated relations between father and
son.

4) Confrontation of Theism and Atheism

So, what is the basic difference between these viewpoints of value
that are against each other?

The basic confrontation of these views of value that is similar to the
confrontation centered on the 38th parallel is the confrontation
between theism and atheism. First of all, the Communist ideology
starts with the absolute denial of God's existence. Since God is

society. Communism, which tried to erase God from this earth, became
exposed as falsehood by the science that Communists so strongly

be eradicated from this world.

5) Communism's Mistaken View of Man

Communism treats man as some higher form of animal and like some
physical material similar to a machine. This is their proper
conclusion since Communism denies the existence of God. Communism
declares that man evolved from the apes and reason and language
developed as tools for production. Since production is treated as a
god, they then assert that man is only some higher form of animal.

Since this Communist view of man is the basic problem, it leads to

offer a solution to the problem of the world. The same formula that
will solve the problem of Korea can solve the problem of the world.

7) View of Value Through Godism

Ladies and Gentlemen, the solution to the inaccurate attitude towards

8) Let's Arm with Ideology

What should the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South do at this time?

First of all, we need to arm ourselves with the true view of value
towards our nation, so that peaceful settlement and agreement can
occur. The weak point of the "free countries" such as America is the
existence of emptiness in their ideology. Excessive materialism and
the misuse of freedom brings chaos to their view of value and promotes
worldly humanism. This is the reason the Communist world will not give
up its ambition for world Bolshevization until the very end.

World War III is the war of ideologies. We cannot triumph over
Communism solely through military means. For Communism to be defeated,
we need to have a better ideology than the Communists. This ideology
can only be an ideology based on truth. There is no such ideology
other than Godism!

Without changing its ideology, without arming with the Unification
Thought of Godism, the free world will find it impossible to triumph
over Communism. The National Federation Movement for the Unification
of North and South must take the offensive as the movement of
pan-nationalism.

Godism serves not only to liberate our North Korean brothers but also
gives salvation to the world from Communism. This ideology will serve
as an opportunity to create a huge awakening in the Western world from
its corruption through disillusion and immorality.

For this reason in 1976, I initiated the historical conference of the
Declaration of Godism, in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United
States of America.

I did this because I have faith and confidence that through Godism the
Communist world can be liberated. The original reason why Communism
did not decline rapidly is that up until now we didn't have any clear
ideology. We were not armed with a better ideology. Therefore, from
now on, let us start to extend Godism to overcome Communism and its
movement from South Korea. How can we wish for unification without
having an ideological offensive to overwhelm Kim Il Sung's solitary
dogma that is full of unjust demands and lies?

9) Godism Is the Movement of Headwing

Unification Thought, Godism, is also the idea of Headwing. Headwing,
which is neither right-wing nor left-wing, can realize real human
peace which cannot be accomplished by either the right wing or the
left wing. The reason for this is that both right wing and left wing
cannot escape their original initiation from "selfishism"; their
pursuit centering only on their own countries and on their own selves
is an eternal battle of self-interests which cannot result in peace
and unification. Now a new global "ism" has to appear which can break
down "selfishism."

"Unselfishism," which is living for the sake of others more than one's
own self, appears only with God's ideal. No other doctrine can have
this kind of unselfishness-one that can bring life-because God is the
substance of love, the essence of love-one that sacrifices one's self.
Love is the essence of Godism; this is the central ideal which is
similar to the physical "head" which give orders to move the whole
physical body. This is the Headwing ideology. The right hand and the
left hand accompany one single body. If the body has no head, then
they will fight each other like strangers; but if the head occupies
the central position, then the right hand and the left hand obey the
orders from the heart, working cooperatively for the whole body.

Therefore, the unification of North and South has to be accomplished
through the Headwing ideology. This will in effect cause North Korea
not to make unification through polarization and at the same time
cause South Korea not to invade North Korea. By "Headism," which is
the Headwing ideology of interdependence through mutual prosperity and
the universal sharing of values found in God, the unification of North
and South can be accomplished.

10) Lets Face the Unification of North and South

Secondly, we need to have a continuous desire for unification. Without
that desire, its fulfillment cannot come. This National Federation
Movement needs to make a commitment for the unification of North and
South Korea. Unification is not just solely our national aspiration
but also inevitably our destiny. When our intellect follows up on
unification, I believe God is achieving this.

At this point it is not enough to say that we need to defeat North
Korea. They have a stronger desire to liberate South Korea. They have
the sacrificial attitude to invest wholeheartedly in order to achieve
this. Without acquiring a stronger sacrificial desire to absolutely
liberate our unfortunate brothers in North Korea, unification would
only be a dream. Therefore, I am planning to inspire desire through
the establishment, by this National Federation, of "unification prayer
centers" and "unification training centers" near the 38th Parallel in
order to instill in the hearts of our 40 million countrymen an intense
desire for unification with North Korea.

11) Let's Develop Our Capability

Thirdly, we have to cultivate and raise our capability. The idea of
unification necessitates the development of our capability in every
field for this very purpose. We have to force Kim Il Sung to abandon
his ambition of polarization and his plan to invade South Korea, and
open the closed society of North Korea. In order for Kim Il Sung to
abandon his ideology, we have to overcome his Party in any kind of
field and direction.

So, as I have already said, the establishment of the view of value and
arming ourselves with that ideology is a very important goal. Then we
must extend and improve our country in terms of international
position. The most important capability is to establish an advanced
democratic society for our nation.

Only true democracy can triumph over dictatorship. Only through the
development of an ideal democratic government is it possible to defeat
any dictatorial group centered on worshipping individuals. The
statement made by Abraham Lincoln, "A government of the people, for
the people, and by the people," is true. Democracy should be our
national conscience's highest priority, having historical proportions.

12) Encourage International Support for Unification

For the sake of the unification of North and South Korea, an important
issue is to develop a worldwide disposition for the urgency of
unification. Centered on the United States and the nations around the
Korean Peninsula such as Japan and China, we need to be armed with an
ideology focused in a positive direction. We hope to make them realize
that eventually North Korea cannot continue to exist in isolation, by
mobilizing Russia to influence North Korea to open up its closed
society. We have to create the situation of international pressure so
that they themselves will want to be free from Communism and will
think of cooperating for the nation.

Kim Il Sung's organization, which seems formidable but is really an
illusion, will soon collapse and fall down because it is rooted in
deception.

With the establishment of The Washington Times in America we initiated
a worldwide movement of ideally educating the free world, an intention
that I had for a long time; we are also organizing around the globe to
form many newspapers, to educate the world media, to give direction to
university professors worldwide, to guide student movements in every
nation, to bring about cooperation among various South American
countries and to form understanding among the world religions.
Already, I have devoted myself to build the foundation to induce North
Korean liberation by trying to influence America, Japan, Europe and
South America, and, finally, China.

Korea is in a very delicate position, geographically and politically.
America, Japan, Russia, and China, have deep interests in the Korean
peninsula; therefore, the great achievement of our unification will be
to guide in a profitable direction the influences of these four strong
world powers. I accomplished this influence and this ability through
the movement of education of ideology on the world level; without
doing this, the unification of the Fatherland will never be
accomplished.

The "National Federation Movement for the Unification of North and
South" cannot start without the foundation of individual Korean
effort, and cannot start without other countries in Asia as well as
with the United Nations, which has a deep connection with each nation
of the world. Thus, our National Federation should develop to an Asian
National Federation and then to a World National Federation. This is
the desire of all humanity and also the desire of God.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Now we have to accept that the great work
nationwide and worldwide begins here. You who are gathered here are
offering a helping hand to those saints that are gathered in this
place and are receiving this historical responsibility of unification
by organizing the National Federation Movement for the Unification of
North and South.

Our national spirit has to be liberated to an ideology of "respect
heaven and love the people" which is similar to that of our national
ancestor King Dan. Today our noble nation elevates the ideology of
saving the world from the chaos of the views of value to the salvation
of all things; it will mean that "Godism was born in this place."

Since I believe that Korea is a microcosm of the world, the world's
problem is inseparably related to the resolution of the Korean
problem. Another way of looking at it is to say the method that can
solve the world problem was born in Korea. It was! We explained that
Godism, which is the method of unifying North and South, became the
method to solve secular humanism and save the world from Communism.

Ladies and Gentlemen. We are establishing this view of value for each
other. Let us rouse ourselves to action with the weapon of the
national ideology. Together, we earnestly wish for the unification of
North and South. Let us have faith. Let us burn with the zeal that can
penetrate the impregnable.

Let us establish the worldwide foundation by acting through this
National Foundation Movement for the Unification of North and South
with the determination to achieve God's Will by our own hands and with
the confidence to heroically work on the front line, on the place of
unification of North and South, as the eternal historical people!

Ladies and Gentlemen. Let us pledge with clenched fists and with
determination in our minds in this sacred place where we are gathered
to be the battle group for unification! Let us go forward united until
our dream, the unification of North and South, is achieved.

May God bless you and your family. This is the message of the National
Federation Movement of the Unification of North and South.

"The American people must return to God. In Jesus' time John the Baptist,

standing in the wilderness, proclaimed, "Repent, and return to God!" First

of all, you have to repent! What kind of sins do you have? Individual sin,

family sin, tribal sin, all the way up to the world and universal sin. We are

all that heavily laden. America has no hope now, so someone is standing out

in the wilderness, just as at the time of the Israelites, proclaiming loudly,

"Repent!" Reverend Moon is that person. I am telling you Moonies first of

all to repent. You have to repent!

Marching off to WAR Damian? Or simply taking up everybody elses bandwidth?

People obviously don't understand Moon and his wacko's..
...it's all or nothing for them! Moon and his agenda is not something
you can be objective about. You have to take subject, or you lose out.
Anybody wanna try and sweet talk moon or negotiate anything other than
total and absolute surrender can forget about it. He will smile and say yes,
all the while plotting his next move against free thought of any kind.
His propoganda machines are whirling 24/7 nonstop. While you answer
with objectiions, he is slowly subverting everybody. For all we know this
very columnist, may already have been bought by Moon and his payola
bribes men. Getting some kickback on the side. People that are evil and
selfish LOVE MOON, cause he gives them what they want. Just like a
sugar daddy.

My apologies for any grievances, but as the *moonies* are quick to
point out. "this is war", and *they* are the agressors where ever they
may be hiding at. Apologists as well, get rid of the apathy breeders
asap or else. Ya'll think i'm kidding, but it's true how would you like
a thousand years with Moon's Church running the show, even if he
ain't here to run it for you?!?

Moon is proving how dumb (numb) people are. To just sit there
and take it. Apathy ****s lets get with it.. ..we gotta fight to preserve
our liberties, and freedom. If not Moon and his henchmen will take
them from us.
