"살아있는 제물이 되기 위해" 에서

아담과 하와가 자기들을 창조하기 위하여 하나님이 얼마나 신경 써주셨는지, 수고 하셨는지. 자기들 위에 하나님의 희망이 있다. 하나님의 소원, 하나님의 창조 목적을 완성하기 위해서는 아담 해와가 없어서는 안된다는 거지. 그저 하나님의 목적을 중심으로 하나님 자체를 해방시켜 드릴 입장에 있는 자는 누구인가 하면 아담과 해와였어. 그리고 자기는 혼자가 아니라 자기는 횡적 이 세계를 대표하고 있다는 것을 잊었고, 횡적 만민을 위한 중심 위치에 서 있는 것을 잊었고, 평면적 존재 소위 피조세계를 대표하는 중심물인 것을 잊었고, 그리고 자신의 억 천만 명의 자녀가 번식될 것을 잊었어. 그래서 자기는 혼자라도 하나님의 이상을 알고 달성해야 완성 할 존재이며, 자신은 피조세계 모든 것을 대표하는 입장에 서 있으며, 또한 만민인 후손에 대해서는 조상에 입장에 있다는 것을 잊었고 그것을 잊고 오직 자기 혼자만 있다고 생각한 결과, 그러한 입장에서 타락해 버린 것이다. 만약 이런 인연, 이런 관계를 가진 입장이라는 것을 분명히 알고 있었더라면, 아담과 해와는 그런 생생한 행동을 하지 못했을 것이다. 자신의 걸음 자신의 일거수 일투족에 충실하게 생각해야 해. 하나님보다 더 이상 생각해야 하는 입장이 아담과 해와의 입장이었던데도 불구하고 그것을 생각하지 않고 자기 혼자의 입장처럼 생각한 그 기준에서 타락이 시작됐단 말이야.

우리가 원리를 배우고 복귀 목표를 완성한다는 입장에서 생각해 보면, 이것은 아담 하와의 입장을 대신으로 서야 한다는 것은 물론 것이다. 그런 관점에서 보면, 우리 자신에게 하나님의 소원은 물론이지만, 타락 한 결과, 지금까지 이것을 복귀하기 위해 수많은 조상들이 영계에 가서 지상에 있는 목적의 실체가 드러나고 자신의 미래 목표의 해방을 바라고 있는 수많은 영혼들이 남아 있다는 거야. 그것을 생각하면, 아담 해와보다 더 심각한 입장에 서 있다는 거야. 그리고, 자기 혼자를 중심으로 세계적으로 횡적인 36억 이상의 인류가 관계를 이루고 있다는 거구나. 지금부터 자신을 중심으로 새로운 세계의 조상이 되어 새로운 국가가 될 수 있는 지상 천국의 시민, 소위 국민을 번식해야 할 중요한 위치에 서 있어. 이것을 무엇보다도 자기자신보다도 귀하게 생각하고 자기자신의 모든 가치보다도 귀하다는 것을 알고 이것을 유지해야 돼. 이것을 유지하기 위해서는 어떠한 희생을 치르더라도 이것을 지켜야 한다는 그 확신을 가져야 해. 그러한 입장에 선 자신이라는 것을 여러분들은 원리를 배우고 명확하게 알고 그 사명을 이루겠다는 결심을 해야 한다는 결론이야.

アダム・エバの身代わり

原理大修練会終了時　

「生きた祭物となるために」より抜粋

1967年6月30日

　アダムとエバが自分たちを造るために神がいかに心を懸けられたか、御苦労なさったか。自分たちの上に神の希望がある。神の願い、神の創造目的を完成するためにはアダム・エバがなくてはならないというんだね。ただひたすらに、神の目的を中心として神自体を解放してさしあげる立場の者は誰かというとアダムとエバであった。それから自分は自分ひとりではなく、自分は横的この世界を代表しているということを忘れ、横的万民のための中心なる位置に立っていることを忘れた、この平面的存在、いわゆる被造世界を代表しての中心物たることを忘れた、それから、自分から億千万人の子女が繁殖されることを忘れた。だから自分は独りであっても神の理想を知って達成すべき、完成すべき存在であり、自分は被造世界すべてのことを代表した立場に立っており、且つ万民である後孫に対しては、先祖たる立場にいるということを忘れ、それを忘れて、ただ自分独りのみおると思った結果、そういう立場から堕落をなしていったというんだね。もしも、こういう因縁、こういう関係を持った自分の立場であるということがはっきりわかったならば、アダムとエバはそういう生々しい行動はできなかったはずである。自分の一歩、自分の一挙手一投足においてこれは忠実に考えなければならない。神より以上にもっと考えなければならない立場が、アダムとエバの立場であったのにも拘らず、そういうことを考えず、自分独りの立場のように考えたその基準から堕落が始まったというんだね。

　我々が原理を学んで復帰目的を完成するという立場から考えてみると、これはアダム・エバの立場の身代わりとして立たなければならないという事はもちろんの事である。そういう見地から見れば、我々自身にとっては神の願いはもちろんだけど、堕落した結果、今までこれを復帰するために数多くの先祖たちが霊界に行って、地上にある目的の実体が現われてきて、自分の未来の目的の解放を願っている数多くの霊人たちが残っておるというんだね。それを思うと、アダム・エバよりもっと重大な立場に立っておる。それから、自分独りを中心として世界的横的な三十六億以上の人類が関係をなしているというんだね。今から自分を中心として新しい世界の先祖となって、新しい国家となり得る地上天国の市民、いわゆるその国民を繁殖しなければならない重要な位置に立っている。これを何よりも、自分自体よりも尊く思い、自分自体のあらゆる価値よりも尊いということをわかって、これを維持する。これを保つにはいかなる犠牲を払ってもこれを保たなければならないというその確信を持たなければならない。そういう立場に立った自分ということを、君たちは原理を学んで、はっきりと知って、その使命をなすという決心をしなければならないという結論になるんだね。

In order to Become a Living Sacrifice(2)

June 30, 1967

Tokyo, Japan

Closing Remarks at the Conclusion of the Major Workshop on the Divine Principle

What is your position? A sacrifice to be offered. You must be offered both spirit and body. So, we cannot insist on our own position, saying, "I am so and so. I am a college graduate. I graduated from Tokyo University. Look, I am in a higher social status than you." You must forego such a concept.

You must not have consciousness of your own self. You must not have class-consciousness.

Who is the leader who is tasked with the greater responsibility? He is a sacrifice for the whole who will climb on the altar. President Kuboki is a sacrifice that is offered on the altar representing Japan. On the altar, there is no more consciousness of self. No class-consciousness. You offer yourself for the whole. You are an offering for a miserable person or a person with high social status -- beyond all classes. You are offered for redemption of all people. Do you follow? ("Yes") First, you should not keep consciousness of your own existence. Second, you should let go of class-consciousness. Unless you are able to do these, you can never be a sacrifice to be offered to God.

From this perspective, let me give you my critique. You are leaders of different districts. So a district leader should give an order confidently as a representative of God. "Hey!" Who are the people who gather to our church? They are the people needed to be redeemed by the church leader as a sacrifice. Namely, they are the people who gather for the ceremony of redemption. What should you do at the ceremony? People are gathered to be redeemed of their sins. Therefore, the leader, who is a sacrifice to be used to redeem them, stands in the position to give an order to and resurrect them. At such a time, you must prepare yourself to receive the order first. Without this attitude, if you give the order, you will violate the law. Do you understand?

Even Jesus had to win the twelve disciples to natural surrender and redeem their sins so that the disciples were grateful to him as being saved by him. With gratitude, all disciples confessed their eternal purpose expressing, "Even though we face death thousands of times, we will be grateful. Please lead us in order to do God's Will." With receiving this confession, Jesus was able to give an order to them. Until such a time, he could not give any orders. Do you understand clearly? ("Yes")

If you inherit this tradition and work at your district according to this spirit, you will witness never ending tears of gratitude of being redeemed of sins wherever you go. This is the conclusion. "We are grateful to our district leader who acted as a true sacrifice for redeeming our sins." The members are always respectful before such a leader. Do you know what I am talking about? Do you? ("Yes") But, if you mishandle this, the development of our movement in Japan will be greatly hindered.

Therefore, the leader who is given greater responsibility is a sacrifice. Because you are a sacrifice for a great many people, unless you accomplish your mission as an intermediary -- providing God's grace through you as a sacrifice, you are not qualified to give any order to people. For example, if their sins amount to 100, only after you redeem the sins equivalent to 100, you are allowed to give the order equivalent of 90. However, despite there are 100 sins to be redeemed, you only forgive the equivalent of 10 sins, but you give the order which is equivalent to 20; then, both the leader and the people following will be claimed by Satan. Do you follow? ("Yes")

All sacrifices including Jesus in the past were offered by shedding the blood as an indemnity condition. However, today what we need to do is to go forth with determination to offer our life -- shedding our blood -- instead, we shed our sweat and tears as replacement for blood. We must go through this. Why? In order to set up indemnity condition, the offering must be cut in two. It is the iron-clad rule that the sacrifice must be divided in two. But, instead you must shed tears centered on God's Heart and stand in the realm of God's Heart in place of God. This was the situation of Jesus. While standing in the same place as Jesus, you give all you have as a living sacrifice for the redemption of people shedding tears. Otherwise, Kingdom of God will not be built on earth. Do you follow? ("Yes") Do you understand? ("Yes")

Firstly, a sacrifice does not have any concept of self. If you understand this clearly and go back to your district, you will be able to fulfill your responsibility as a leader. Secondly, you must not have any class- consciousness. Reflect your attitude in the past from this new understanding, were you humble as a leader? Or were you arrogant? What would have been your score from this point of view? But, from now on, if you practice these points, people will follow you while shedding tears of gratitude. That is a logical consequence. They feel that they will be saved by you. Then, their conscience will know it and follow the goodness. Their original minds will follow God. Once you set this eternal standard, you will be a true sacrifice. Both heaven and earth will bow their heads.

Rev. Moon is determined to keep this standard in my life even risking my own life. This is how I live. When you welcome me, saying, "Thank you, Rev. Moon, for gracing us with your presence." But, I don't allow myself to indulge in good feelings. On the contrary, I know I have a very important task to provide salvation to them. Their original mind would be moved to tears. So, I am prepared to receive people with the heart of giving. Thinking this way, no matter how hard I give myself, I don't feel it is hard or arduous. The more I do, the more I want to do. Your heart is wired this way without being taught by anyone.

This is how parents live for their children. Loving parents will sacrifice themselves for the sake of their children even if they wear rags. They never seek for any reward or being appreciated. They do not have any concept of themselves or class-consciousness. Some leader wants to give an order even though he did not give birth to this person (child), "Hey! You must offer filial piety to me." Many leaders are like this. This goes against the Principle. You should be aware that you have such a tendency. You have a very strong tendency! I can see it in your eyes, tip of nose, ears, and mouth. You are full of it. Do you understand? You must change for the better.

Do you look at your own face on the mirror when you wash your face in the morning or not? Of course, you look at your face, right? ("Yes") If your facial expression‎ is tense and stiff, you must smile at the mirror. You must recreate yourself starting from your physiognomy. (Laughter) You, whose face is stiff, should try as hard as you can to show a facial expression‎ that you are happy to see a person from your heart when you see people. If you try this, the person who sees you doesn't see you as stiff and tense. This is the heart makeup! You do the makeup from your original mind. Do you understand what I am saying? ("Yes") This should not be a superficial technique but should come from your original mind. So, from now when you look at your face, you should think, "Why my face is this way? If I change this part to look like that, I will be more handsome than anyone." If you heart becomes beautiful, your face will be beautiful as well. This is true. For ten, 20, 30 years, if you make effort to smile with the heart of cheerfulness, it becomes your second nature. Your body resembles your heart. So, if you live with this habit or tradition, your external appearance will change to match your heart. It's true. Try it. It works for you. You must study this type of things.

Leaders are such sacrifices! It is my hope that you will fulfill your mission, so I give this talk today. Please keep this in your heart.
