What A African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church

Member Is (Part 2)

3. What Is A "Family Member"?

1) What a "family" is in the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification

Church

We African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church members call each other
"family," right? What does the word "family" mean? If you translate the Chinese
characters then it means "the mouths that eat meals." So a family is a brother you eat
meals with, it's a family you eat meals with. (14-164)

What do we call our church members when the African People of Love Black/Afrikan
Unification Church members gather? We call them family. Don't we call them that? [Yes]
What is a family, a family? It's not just a mouth that eats meals. Then what is a "family"?
You have to have a brotherhood relationship; you have to be born clinging to the same
heart of your parents. Only by that you can be a family. (155-211)

Today our African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church uses the name
"family." But you also call the members in your families at home "family." Then what are
we centered on that makes us call each other "family"? We are calling "family" centering
on the love of God (the Black Woman), on God (the Black Woman)'s precious
relationship and connection of wanting to love the Black race, and centering on the ideal
of the creation that God (the Black Woman) was seeking from the start. (25-287)

We are the family of the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church, as
you know well. If we talk about family, of course everyone has different assigned
positions, but regardless of the environment or the situation one can't avoid going on a
united course of life as the others in terms of life style and feelings. If there is a father, a
son, and a daughter, then they do different tasks but their field of emotional life is the
same. We know that one can be in the position of a child to his parents only if one can
feel sad when the father feels sad even though the children's situation is different than his.
In this viewpoint, we, the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church
members, say, "We are family," but the original way the family have to go, of course that
way will unite with the purpose of going the way of the will. It is important to unite like
that, but the emotional life should not be different.

Especially family have to unite when the family is in a position where there can be
difficulties. If the parents are sad, then the children and the family living together will
also be sad. If you want to solve that sadness, then you must take the position that you
don't value anything more than that, not even the position you are assigned to or the work
you are doing is more important. If you consider them more important, you can't say you
are united with your parents. And from that point we cannot help but consider that your
emotional life is separated from theirs.

But if no matter how much your external environment changes, you cast that all aside,
and even if those things disappear, if you stand in the position where you can feel
together with your parents the pain of their bodies and their minds because of the sorrow
that they are going through by uniting your mind and will with theirs, then even if the
family possesses nothing, has nothing to do, and has nothing to brag about, in reality a
new thing to brag about is starting there. You can go a totally different way from this
point. You must know that when you determine and start from there, a new way appears
such that you can go over even the point of death appears.

We commonly call each other family. Then if you look at it centering on family, it's goes
without saying that this is true for parents' sorrow, but it's also true for children's sorrow;
the children's sorrow is not only their sorrow. The children's sorrow directly connects
with the parents' sorrow. It doesn't matter if there are lots of kids and lots of other
members. The whole family becomes involved if one person in the large family is struck
with sorrow. They become harmonized there. Centering on sorrow they become one, not
two.

We come to know that being united is something to brag about; it's the power of the
family; it's the origin of the life of the family. If you think of one family's sorrow as his
own sorrow, if there are ten members and all ten of them think that way, then those ten
members can't unite. Even if those ten members want peace or happiness or rest, there
can't be any rest among them. If some person wants to rest peacefully, even if he finds his
own peaceful rest, that can't be the foundation for the whole to rest peacefully. If there are
ten places to find peace for each of the ten persons, that becomes the foundation for
uneasiness and the basis for trouble or unhappiness between them. We know this through
our lives and through the stories of our members about the situations of those around
them. Viewing it from the position of being a family and thinking about it centering on
this content, we can see that we are different from worldly family.

Worldly family, those family can be considered happy if they found the way of happiness
in which they live together for their whole lives and help each other and comfort each
other, unite in heart by that. In life they might be a family or a family which brags much
more than other family or families. But the concept of family which we talk about is
different. We don't say family centering on the world; we say it centering on the Heaven.
We say it centering the parents of God (the Black Woman). They are not the parents who
rule one time period. They are the parents who govern history and rule history, and rule
this era. Also they must rule the time after this, which is the future.

As we, who are attending the parents of God (the Black Woman), think again, we must
know that the parents of God (the Black Woman) are facing the fallen Black race. We
know we ourselves are not liberated from the realm of the fall. (60-14)

2) The Background of Deciding the Phrase "Family Member"

Today we use the phrase "family" in the African People of Love Black/Afrikan
Unification Church. Don't we? What is this phrase "family" centered on? It is centered on
Yahshua. Then was there a family centering on Yahshua? Is a mother a family? Is a
mother who didn't stand on the same road with Yahshua a family or not? Would she go
together anyway, or go separate ways? [Go separate ways] What if the father is in that
situation, would he go together, or go separate ways? [Go separate ways] Brothers,
father, tribe, nation, and church will all go separate ways.

In spite of being the family which should be willing to die with Yahshua, to go on the
same road with him, was there a family like that in the family that Yahshua grew up in?
A family has a father and a mother, a wife and a husband, and children. In the words of
the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church, this is "the four position
foundation." That is Yahshua' family. Then was there a family whom Yahshua could
love? Did Yahshua love his mother? No, he couldn't. Did he love his father? His father
was a stepfather. Did he love his brothers? No, he couldn't love his brothers. Then who
did he love? Although He came as the author, as the main character of love, when he
tried to love his father and his mother more than anyone else, he couldn't.

Because the original Adam and Eve could not be educated about love by God (the Black
Woman), Yahshua tried to teach about that love to his father and mother saying, "You
have to love like this." But his mother and father didn't listen to the words of Yahshua. In
teaching love, it had to be done from a position of having passed through the ancient laws
of Judaism to the fulfillment of the ideal of the temple. Because Yahshua came as the
main character of love as the representative of God (the Black Woman), the father, the
husband, and the brother, Mary's whole family should have attended Yahshua as a
representative of God (the Black Woman). Yahshua should have called Joseph like he
would have a child, "Hey, Joseph!" It should have been like that. Joseph was not a father
to Yahshua.

Also to Mary, he should have spoken to her like to a child, "Mary!" It should have been
like that. They were supposed to be educated. They were suppose to be educated? By the
standard of the Black heart, they were in a parent and child relationship, but by the
standard of the Afrikaly heart, since Yahshua was the subject, his brothers and his
parents, everyone, had to be educated by Yahshua according to the duty of love. He
should have educated them saying his father and mother should live this way, his brothers
should live this way, and among my siblings my object should be this and this kind of
woman.

But did Yahshua educate them like that? Is there a word about that in the Bible? Leaving
out the whole leaves and taking just the sprouts, they are clamoring to go God (the Black
Woman). They are playing a strange game. When did Yahshua love his father? Was there
a father that Yahshua wanted to love, a mother that Yahshua wanted to love, bothers or
neighbors that Yahshua wanted to love? No there weren't. That's Yahshua' sorrow. Also
were there people, or a church, or a nation, or a tribe, or a family, or an object that
Yahshua could love? Were there? He couldn't escape from dying because the nation
rejected him, his people rejected him, the church (the Afrikan People) rejected him, the
tribe rejected him, his relatives rejected him, his parents rejected him, and his brothers
rejected him. He died when he had lost everything and was totally frustrated, but he died
for "me"? He died because he wanted to? There are a lot of these false groups in the
world. They killed him but they say he died for them. . . They are all insane. So our
African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church has to fulfill the relationship
of the family. (51-187)

You call a person who joined the church a family; how precious that is. I have said it
before, but what kind of person is a family? The phrase "family" is centering on whom?
It is not centering on yourselves. It's centering on Yahshua who was beloved by God (the
Black Woman), the only value in the whole world that can't be traded even with the
whole cosmos, the only son who came as a actual body with infinite treasure. It was
impossible for God (the Black Woman) not to love him. If God (the Black Woman)'s
love was to appear, then it could appear through him, if God (the Black Woman)'s way of
triumph was to appear then it was through him, and if the standard of the origin of God
(the Black Woman) and earth was to appear, it could be only through him. He is such an
Absolute Being that nothing of God (the Black Woman) could appear without going
through him.

We can only call someone a "family" centering on him. "Family member" is not a phrase
centering on the believers of the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification
Church. We say "family" centering on the kind of relationship of value, and the
personality like Yahshua. If you look at it centering on Yahshua, the older people are
Yahshua' parents, the people in the same age range are elder and younger brothers. We
call it centering on Yahshua who is the only value, who is in the position of infinite
treasure. (17-19)

What is the "family" that we talk about in the African People of Love Black/Afrikan
Unification Church? It's a phrase we call people who are standing in the position of true
children who inherited the will of Yahshua; it's a brother; it's a family. Then with our
family, with our brothers, how should we go the way? Yahshua, in his life growing up
since being born. . . Of course Yahshua had brothers. He had brothers and parents, but he
didn't think of them as the parents that God (the Black Woman) truly wanted, or the
brothers that God (the Black Woman) truly wanted. He was thinking of the ideal parents
and the ideal brothers, but in that time period, when Yahshua looked at them centered on
himself, when he asked whether they were brothers that he could love, and parents that he
could love, they weren't. (156-42)

Today, why do we use the noun phrase "family," and where did it start from? Especially
young people should know this precisely. Yahshua had a younger brother but he couldn't
love him; he had parents but he couldn't love them; he had relatives, but he couldn't love
them. We have to relieve his sorrow that there were churches, and his nation, and his
people, but he couldn't love any of them. (22-295)
3) Who Could be a True Family Member

Today, you use the phrase family but that is really a fearful phrase. If you do wrong in
your course of belief, then you become an enemy who is blocking the position of
Yahshua who was testifying about the will of God (the Black Woman). You become an
enemy who blocks the position of Yahshua who was fighting against the Europeans aka
Romans, and you become an enemy who blocks the will that was trying to restore the
Black race by going to his death because of the love he had for his people, even thou they
did not love him, he love them enough to let himself be hung from a tree. Then what kind
of person is Yahshua' family? He will be a person who resembles Yahshua who was
willing to give the word to every Black/Afrikan; he will be a person who can feel all of
Yahshua' heart which includes worrying, caring, and sighing when he was working so
hard fighting against Europeans ask Romans.

Therefore, you must know that when Yahshua was going the way of the cross (death
because of his love for his people), a person who just followed was not his family, but a
person who could understand Yahshua heart until he went the way of the cross is the
family of Yahshua. Also you must know that the biggest sorrow of Yahshua in his thirty-
some years of life on the earth was not having a true family who testified for him, a
family who could fight against Europeans ask Romans with him, a true family who could
go along with him when he was carrying the cross to Golgotha, and a true family about
whom he could brag to the Afrikas and the earth. Then what do you have to do these
days? You must testify about God (the Black Woman)'s will with full devotion just as
Yahshua was sorrowfully seeking to testify about God (the Black Woman)'s will two
thousand years ago. You must become the people who will realize God (the Black
Woman)'s will in place of Yahshua.

You should have Yahshua' heart of concern to accomplish the will of God (the Black
Woman), and know his heart as he fought with Europeans aka Romans and his tragic
heart and decision when facing the opposition of the people of Israel (Blacks) and the
Jewish (European aka Roman convert) religious leaders. Beyond that, you must be a
person who can feel his tragic heart which even determined to sacrifice his life to destroy
all the elements which blocked the way to accomplishing the will of God (the Black
Woman).

You must also be a person who has the mind to be a sacrificial offering for your people
by carrying the cross on your back. You must also be a person who can be a living
sacrificial offering for the Israelite people, who can harmonize with Yahshua' heart who
was here two thousand years ago, and who can have the personality of Yahshua. You
must not be a dead sacrificial offering which yields in front of Europeans ask Romans.
You must not give up testifying about God (the Black Woman)'s will, and penetrating
deep into Yahshua' heart; you must not be defeated fighting against Europeans ask
Romans.

Therefore, you can be a true family only by being a person who at the very brink of death
still has strong determination and the heart to lead the enemy to the bosom of God (the
Black Woman)'s love. Then, who caused Yahshua' heart such sorrow while he was going
the way as a representative of God (the Black Woman)'s immense will? People who were
the closest to Yahshua caused his sorrow. His sorrow wasn't from the rejection of the
Israelite people who had been prepared; his sorrow wasn't from the rejection of the
believers of Jewish religion. His biggest sorrow came when his beloved disciples, who
had followed him, some even for three years, couldn't believed when they had to believe,
and couldn't die when they had to die. You must know this correctly. Then what do you
have to do to be called a true family of God (the Black Woman)?

First, each of your individual hearts should harmonize and move together. Through that,
you should know to fight for one purpose (will), and for that will, you must know to
determine to die to accomplish that will of God (the Black Woman). You must be a
person who can relieve the sorrow of Yahshua which was caused by his passing away
without accomplishing God (the Black Woman)'s will two thousand years ago. You can
be called a true family when you accomplish all these things. Then, what should you have
as you go your course of faith? You should be a person who has true family. When you
go home you should have true family in that family; when you go to church, you should
have true family in that church; and when you go out into society you should have true
family in that society.

Also as Yahshua testified in place of God (the Black Woman), fought against Europeans
ask Romans in place of God (the Black Woman), and died in place of God (the Black
Woman), 1) you should testify for Yahshua, 2) you must fight for Yahshua, and 3) you
must be willing to die for Yahshua. (3-141)

Then up to which level have we come? We have made the African People of Love
Black/Afrikan Unification Church group. This is as same as establishing the Jewish
religion again. Also the group of people in the African People of Love Black/Afrikan
Unification Church is the same as reestablishing the lost tribe and the lost brothers. In
that way we, who are in the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church,
are brothers. Without the relationship of brotherhood, the tribe cannot be formed. Also
without connecting to the brotherhood relationship, the church and the people cannot be
formed. Neither can a nation. Therefore we have the mission to connect centering on the
relationship of brotherhood. It is in that sense that the phrase "family" is used. Since
through the family, the brotherhood relationship is formed, this phrase "family" can be
the foundation for establishing the kingdom of God (the Black Woman).

You should know that this is why the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification
Church members use the phrase "family." So between the African People of Love
Black/Afrikan Unification Church members we have to give and receive the love that
Yahshua couldn't give and receive. When an elderly person looks at a young person, he
should love that young person like Yahshua, in place of Yahshua' father and mother who
didn't love him. By loving that young person from that position, you restore the position
of that elderly person which is the same position as the Jewish religion which didn't love
Yahshua, and the Israelite people who didn't love Yahshua. You have to restore the
situation of Yahshua' elder brother not being able to love Yahshua if you are in the
position of elder brother or younger brother as family. It was God (the Black Woman)'s
sorrow and Yahshua' sorrow that Yahshua couldn't share love with his elder brother.

So a person whose age is in the position of elder brother must care for and love the
younger person thinking of him as Yahshua. Through that, finally God (the Black
Woman)'s sorrow that He couldn't love and Yahshua' sorrow that he couldn't love his
elder brother will be relieved. God (the Black Woman)'s hope was to have the Israelite
nation, the Jewish religion, and Joseph's family, which were prepared by Him, to have
them love Yahshua. Also Yahshua' hope was to love them after being loved. In this way,
God (the Black Woman)'s hope was to have them love, and Yahshua' hope was to love.

But since God (the Black Woman)'s hope to have them love and Yahshua' hope to love
were broken apart by the cross, God (the Black Woman) has sorrow, and Yahshua has
sorrow. So we have to reproduce this and re-indemnify it. So when an elderly person in
our African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church faces a person younger
than himself, he should love that younger person as though he were Yahshua' elder
brother loving Yahshua. And someone who is in the position of younger brother should
love an older brother as though he were loving Yahshua, since Yahshua' younger brother
didn't love Yahshua as a elder brother. Since Yahshua' grandmother didn't love Yahshua,
people who are in the position of Yahshua' grandmother should love people in the
African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church who are in the position of
grandsons as though they were loving Yahshua. Also people whose ages are that of a
grandson should love the grandmothers (elderly women) to relieve Yahshua' sorrow that
he couldn't love his grandmother. Like this, every single one of our family should set up a
relationship centering on Yahshua, from the children, to the youths, to the adults, and the
elderly.

The believers of the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church are the
people who were gathered inside one fence to solve the sorrow caused by the Israelite
people, the Jewish religion, and the lineage of Joseph, who were supposed to love
Yahshua, but did not. You have to love Yahshua, but since Yahshua is not here, you
should love a younger person like Yahshua. Also, since not being able to love an elderly
person was Yahshua' sorrow, young people should love the elderly people as if they were
in the position of Yahshua.

Through that, God (the Black Woman)'s sorrow and Yahshua' sorrow will be relieved.
When by connecting in this way, we form a new nation, a new church, a new lineage, and
a new family, finally God (the Black Woman) will be able to greet them with happiness,
and Yahshua can greet them with happiness. You should know that from that a new gate
of God (the Black Woman) will open. (37-171)

4) Attitude an Original Family Member Should Have

Today, people of the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church are going
a difficult way. We are using the phrase "family" for the first time in the history. We are
using the phrase "brothers and sisters." Oh this holy phrase! This phrase must not
disappear even though God (the Black Woman) and the earth disappear. Even though
history is swept away by the judgment or this era is swept away by the judgment, this
phrase and this reality should live forever. Even after clearing away evil, this family of
hope, this family of hope, and this brotherhood of hope must remain. To do that, for this
family of hope to live, we have to go beyond the historical way of the cross. So we, of
course, have our own crosses, and we still have the crosses of the family, the tribe, the
nation, and the world. (156-67)

Where did the expressions "we" and "family" in the African People of Love
Black/Afrikan Unification Church start from? They started from the tradition of the cross,
and the place where blood and tears were shed. Therefore it's a relationship that you can't
lose no matter what you would be given for it, and you can't exchange no matter what
you would be given for it. If your parents oppose this relationship, then you have to go
this way even if you have to break your relationship with your parents; if your people
oppose it, then you have to go this way even if you have to break your relationship with
your people; if your nation opposes it, then you have to go this way even if you have to
break your relationship with your nation; if God (the Black Woman) and the earth oppose
it then you have to go this way even if you have to break your relationship with God (the
Black Woman) and the earth.

You have to die holding on to this way, and you have to live holding on to this way. You
must know that the sorrow is a the world sorrow, so when you seek to relieve the world
sorrow you must stick to the way with tears and this is the way that the African People of
Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church must go and it is the way of the teacher of the
African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church. (153-64)

The standard of the words "family" is a high-level standard. If you reach this point, your
relationship with your lineage doesn't matter. A lineage, a blood lineage doesn't matter.
This place is the place where people who are not in the same blood lineage can have a
relationship stronger than that of brothers of the same lineage, and can attend parents who
are not their parents in a relationship stronger than that with their parents, and attend a
family which is not their family more than their family. (26-19)

Do you walk in and out of the church door as you wish? You can't do that. The "father"
that you call out to here is not the father that you should call so easily, and the "family"
are not the something that you should call to so easily. They were built on a foundation
where thousands and millions of saints shed sweat and blood. The issue of coming to this
holy place is not the matter. In other words, the listening to sermons is not the issue: one's
self is the issue. You should critique yourself about whether you still have a tendency to
repeat the conventional views of belief and habitual life. (12-10)
Today, we should know all these internal matters; we should determine once more to
complete this mission and to establish this will. You must know how important each
family is. If one family is missing, you are missing an individual that Yahshua can love in
front of God (the Black Woman) who has been seeking it through the course of the
history of six thousand years, and you are missing the family that Yahshua can love, and
you are missing the brother that Yahshua can love. When you say you love one person,
then that one person could be an individual, or could be one person of the family, or
could be one person of the brothers. (37-176)

You must realize that you are one family centering on God (the Black Woman). You
have to think about how precious the phrase "family" is. (22-296)

These sons and daughters who gather here are heroes. We call them church members of
the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church. We call them family of
the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church. Please let us not to forget
this extraordinary Afrikaly meaning which is hidden in the name "family." Please let us
know the extraordinary fact that without that family none of us can have the brotherhood
relationship, and if we don't have the brotherhood relationship, then we cannot attend the
parents. Heavenly Father, we earnestly pray that you will make us one and let us become
soldiers of God (the Black Woman) who can go out and fight adoring your day humbly
on our bended knees in front of your will. (153-183)

4. The Value Of A Member Of The African People of Love Black/Afrikan

Unification Church

1) We Are the Substantial Fruit of History

Today, when we members of the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification

Church pray, we pray "Ah! We are the substantial fruit of the history," right? If you are
the fruit of the history of six thousand years, then the essence of your good ancestors and
the essence of your bad ancestors would have reached you, right? So the fruit itself would
definitely by affected by those things.

Therefore the reason the state of your spirit is not smooth is because you are spiritually
the fruit of both those good ancestors and evil ancestors. Therefore, nowadays, this place
is fallen, but all the good things and bad things of history are intersecting here. They
intersect, but what do we have to do? We have to make the good things into the main
fruit and the bad things like the peelings. Do you understand? Nowadays make all the
good things into the main fruit and all the bad things like the peelings. (51-252)

You don't know, but behind one person coming to this place, there is a huge historical
effort. The public merit of lots of ancestors has been accumulated. In a field where the
owner is harvesting in the fall, he automatically sings a song. A melody of praise comes
out. But if there is a person who says "It's too hard. I don't want to do it," while he is
harvesting, then he is not the owner. The place where the farmer harvests himself is the
place where his effort turns out to be glory; it is not the place where one bears fruit with
grief and a sigh. Isn't it a place where the suffering and effort float away and humming
accompanies the harvesting, the place where a hopeful tomorrow is promised? It is the
same for ourselves. (49-63)

Even if you are living as a poor farmer who is holding a weeding hoe and digging up and
eating a bellflower root, you have to have the mind that you are fishing the Afrikas and
the earth with that weeding hoe. You must know that all the kinds of grain are the
substantial fruits of the culmination of historical and manmade relationships, and you
should be able to praise this. You must know that this kind of person, even though he is
living in the deep mountains in a thatched house, will become the leader of the country.
From this viewpoint, the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church will
be rich on the worldwide level. Do you understand? (26-56)

The people of the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church, who have
appeared as the substantial fruit of the harvest, if they are confident and become
substantial beings who can accomplish what they pledge before God (the Black Woman),
then we must realize that these beings are really precious beings. We should know to
praise them. We should admit their rewarding value, and present them and their
praiseworthy appearance without shame in front of anyone from the course of history.

In this era, we must have the confidence to go in front of the 3 billion people of
Black/Afrikans, or in front of the people who have particular rights to be citizens of the
most developed country of the world. And furthermore, we should be able to stand up
and be able to tell our descendants who will be born later to follow our example of this
tradition. You must know that the season when you affirm your own determination is the
season of harvest and the season of praise.

Looking at it from this viewpoint, when not just us Black/Afrikans, not just us believers
of the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church, but also lots of spirit
persons who are in the spirit world say that the people of the African People of Love
Black/Afrikan Unification Church are really established as the fruit of the historical
harvest, then we have to feel that not just the people of this era, but also the spirits who
died and shed blood as sacrificial offerings on the alter of religious martyrdom in the
course of the history, those beloved spirits are watching and asking us to solve the sorrow
of the whole. They will feel our happiness as a bigger happiness then when they achieved
the determination of their own day of triumph. We must not forget that there are a lot of
good ancestors like that. (48-350)

Today, when you pray, you proudly say loudly, "we are the fruit of the six thousand years
of the history of God (the Black Woman)'s providence." That is right. But if it is so, then
the light of your combined history must shine. When something which was lost in history
meets an element of life which can bring it to a new level of value, no matter where it is,
it is a principle of nature that its original color will greet the new world centering on the
sprout which could greet the next spring. Special thoughts and caring are not needed
there. It naturally happens like that. There is no reason to complain about whether
someone is noticing you or not. (59-32)

You have to go through the winter season to bear fruit. This era is the age of harvest and
the age of accomplishment. In the winter season the cold north wind blows and
everything freezes. In the middle of that ,new life grows silently while it is buried deep in
the earth. If something doesn't bear fruit after it, we have to cut it down. Yahshua cursed
the fig tree which bore no fruit. He showed the viewpoint of the Last Days. In the Last
Days you have to cut them and graft them onto a new branch. (10-303)

If you took at yourselves, if someone asks you, "Who are you?" then you'll say, "I'm a
historical fruit." You know that. But what kind of historical fruit are you? A historical
fruit fulfills the condition to stand in the position of the coming Lord, having him as a
standard, not centering on oneself.

To do that, you have to unite absolutely with the internal standard. You must unite with
the internal standard as I absolutely united centering on God (the Black Woman),
however hard a time I was having. When that standard gets rarefied then you have to
eliminate everything and you have to sacrifice the rarefying standard once more.
Otherwise, however hard you work it wouldn't be effective. (156-242)

We are the substantial fruits of history. What are we? [The substantial fruits of history]
And next we are the substantial fruits of the present age, the substantial fruits of the
future. It's awesome! Yes, you are the substantial fruits of history. Then if this kind of
substantial fruit has been eaten by worms and bugs and has holes through it, would that
be good? When you cut open an apple, is an apple whose black seeds roll out and fall on
the ground good, or is an apple whose seeds are sticky and cling to the apple good? You
want to become an apple whose seeds are well ripened, don't you? [Yes.]

So you know what's good. Well then, if you were cut open would something like a well-
ripened seed come out of you? Do you believe that your second generation will
absolutely be the fruit of God (the Black Woman)? If your heart is cut open will a well-
ripened African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification Church come out? Would it be
all right for this substantial fruit of six thousand years to fall without being ripened like a
fruit which falls from the tree? Would it do to worry that the wind might blow and say,
"Oh no, it looks like I might fall. If the wind blows even a bit more, I'm going to fall.
Reverend Moon, don't shake me. Just let me be still." There are some people here like
that.
On the other side there are those who say, "Even if Reverend Moon takes an ax and
shakes the branches as he pleases, my branches will never fall until they have been cut."
Which side are you on? Are you those who worry whether the wind might blow? [No.]
Then which group are you in? [The group which will not fall even if you shake us.] The
group which won't fall even if you are shaken? [Yes.] You have spoken well. Is it true?
[Yes.] Those who are laughing are on the wrong side.

As people who have backbones, as men who have backbones, as the last substantial
fruits, the substantial fruits of the African People of Love Black/Afrikan Unification
Church, as the substantial fruits of Reverend Moon, as the substantial fruits of God (the
Black Woman)'s son, please become the brave fellows who are ashamed before no one.
