Chambumo Gyeong - 472. The purpose of profit
An enormous amount of money flows through Las Vegas. True Parents plan to transform Las Vegas into a sound and wholesome place centered on God, and use the immense amount of economic profit generated there for the education of talented people in poor countries, and for projects focused on relieving hunger. They also invested in raising leaders who can implement these plans. True Parents purchased a building in Las Vegas as a providential base and named it Cheon Hwa Gung.
7 I know all too well how evil Los Angeles and Las Vegas are. Las Vegas is the landing pad of the kingdom of lust, and it must be defeated. To defeat it, you have to go to the casino and dominate it like a king. If you are ignorant, you will be deceived when you go into this promiscuous world. The mafia always has you on camera; they have set up an environment to prevent anyone from taking advantage of them. We have to dominate this environment and use half its profits to educate the children of the Cain-type world and the other half to convert it into a stronghold for peace that can save the 20 million people in the world who starve to death each year. This will establish a foundation to support God's Will in this land. (589-056, 2008/04/28)
8 I will have you participate in a fundraising campaign at the United Nations. You will raise funds from wealthy people. You should calculate how many rich people there are in Korea and the average value of their assets. Then you can encourage them to contribute accordingly. We will use half of that money to educate the children of the Cain-type world who are living in difficult circumstances. We will use the other half to save the 20 million people who live as refugees and are dying of starvation.
For this purpose, heaven seeks to elevate the moral and ethical standards of the gambling places and casinos of the world, including Las Vegas. We will give the owners only the interest, and use half of the profits to educate the poor of the Cain-type world. We should provide educational opportunities to highly-gifted people beyond the barriers of race and nation, so that they can perfect their innate talents in the coming age. I am interested in Las Vegas on behalf of the 20 million people worldwide who suffer from malnutrition. (590-115, 2008/05/19)
9 I cannot take responsibility for the world all by myself, but if I can gather people and train them to become leaders, together we will be able to take responsibility. Wherever I go, as long as I stand in a subject position, I can select like-minded people from the world, and embrace and guide them. I can create many methods for doing this. You still have not attained this ability, so I plan to convene a special education program for you again. Once I train people in the west, focusing on the four main cities, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, I will have them gain leadership experience in the tourism and leisure industries. I will train them while taking them to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. Once this is done, they will become influential people, second to none in the world. This is what you will become if I train you. There is nothing you will not be able to do. (609-328, 2009/04/09)
10 I bought a house in Las Vegas and named it Cheon Hwa Gung, the heavenly palace of harmony. The Chinese character hwa ( 和 ) means "harmony." It consists of two characters, hwa ( 禾) meaning "rice" and gu ( 口 ) meaning "mouth." As these characters imply, we should provide meals for those who come to this palace and cannot afford to eat three meals a day. Those who want to pay money can do so; those who do not wish to pay need not do so, but they may eat before they go. (611-103, 2009/05/06)
11 The issue is how to connect the leisure industry in Las Vegas with Asia. In my travels, I stop here to think about how to connect this place with the development of Asia. I contemplate how to renew this place so it can become an attraction for the Asian tourism industry. No one thought of this. People of the world think that everything here is part of an ephemeral culture that is going to disappear, but they should not think like that. (615-238, 2009/08/24) |
