統一教英文證道範例:愛之美-費波那契數列的奇妙現象
「哥林多前書第13章（13節）說「如今常存的有信、有望、有愛、這三樣、其中最大的是愛。」但是眾生卻不瞭解愛是什麼。什麼又是盡心、盡性與盡意去愛？那表示甚至付出生命地去愛。阿主！」
And as Father commented on that core scripture, let us move in to the Biblical scripture, upon that scripture, First Corinthians 13:
就像真父親對這段核心經節的闡述，讓我們來奉讀聖經哥林多前書第13章：
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Aju!
「愛是恆久忍耐、又有恩慈．愛是不嫉妒．愛是不自誇．不張狂．不作害羞的事．不求自己的益處．不輕易發怒．不計算人的惡．不喜歡不義．只喜歡真理．凡事包容．凡事相信．凡事盼望．凡事忍耐。」阿主！
When we look at Christian traditions, we see that the description of the love we see is the description of the love of Christ. Yes! It is the love of Christ. And Christians really explain the predicament of man in a simple way, but in a clear way. Number one, God created man to be with Him. That is number one. Number two, because of sin – that can be anything from the betrayal of Lucifer all the way to the smaller sins we accumulate every day – we are divided or separated from God. That is number two. And number three, Jesus Christ paid the price so we can walk on the bridge that is the cross to go over the deep chasm and get back to God.
當我們看基督教時，我們看到了他們對愛的描就是對基督之愛的描述。是的！那就是基督之愛。基督徒真的用很簡單，但是卻很清楚的方式來解釋了predicament。第一，神創造人類是要與祂在一起。這是第一點。第二，因為罪---可以從路西華的背叛到我們每天生活中累積的各種小---我們與神隔絕或分開了。這是第二點。第三，耶穌基督為我們贖了罪，因此我們能夠通過那座橋而越過那道深淵，並且回到神面前。
Now as Unificationists, we also agree on this. From the Principle perspective, we know that the path of Christ to go on the cross was not the intended pathway, but through that pathway, by having faith on that pathway, we can actually find spiritual salvation through the love of Christ. God created man to be with Him; we are separated from Him because of sin, divided from Him; Jesus paid the price at the individual level so that we can cross that bridge. I like the metaphor, ‘cross the bridge’, that is the cross over a deep chasm, so to speak. But we also know that Christ was also be able to liberate the families, the tribes, societies, nations and world, even the spirit world, back to God. And he eventually needed to liberate God as the True Parent.
現在，做為統一會員，我們也同意這些講法。但是從原理的觀點來看，我們知道基督走上十字架不是他原本要行走的道路，但是通過十字架的道路，通過對那條道路的信仰，我們可以著實地通過基督的愛而得到靈的拯救。神創造人類的目的是要讓人類與祂在一起；我們卻因為罪而與祂分離了，離開了祂；耶穌在個人的基準上付出了代價，讓我們可以越過那座橋。我喜歡這種比喻：「走過橋」，這麼說吧，就是越過深淵。但是，我們也知道基督也能夠解放家庭、氏族、社會、國家與世界，甚至靈界，並且讓他們都回到神面前。而他最終要解放神成為我們的真父母。
The Christ himself was to become the True Parent. When we look at True Parents’ course and life, we can see that as the continuer of the mission of Christ, who has received the mission of Christ the returning Lord, we can see in True Parents life course many tribulations, we can see seven great tribulations; the different imprisonments and tortures that True Father had to endure through his life. We call this, in short, the Seven Deaths and Resurrections. That through these tribulations, physically he was tortured and beaten and bruised and scorned, but spiritually also; just like Jesus descended into hell, True Parents had to fight, even in this world, thousands of Satan, thousands of evil forces and even descended into hell.
基督他自己也本要成為真父母的。當我們研究真父母路程與生活時，我們可以看到他們是基督使命的延續者，他們已經接受了再臨基督的使命，我們看到真父母的路程歷經了許多苦難，我們看到了七次的大苦難；真父親在他的一生歷經了不同的入監服刑與酷刑虐待。簡單地說，我們稱這些為「七死復活」。通過這些苦難，在肉體上他受了酷刑虐待、痛毆、全身烏青、全身都是傷疤，但是在靈裡，就像耶穌下到陰間一樣，真父母也必須爭戰，就在在這個世界一樣，他們與成千上萬的撒但與邪惡勢力爭戰，甚至要下到陰間。
With that kind of heart, he went through those deaths and resurrections. And those signify the different levels of crosses, from the individual level to the family level, to the tribe, society, nation, world, and the cosmos including the spirit world, that he had to hold, so that we could cross the chasm, not only ourselves but with our children. That we could cross the chasm with our clans, that we could cross the chasm with our societies, the nation, eventually even with our spiritual world and get back to God. Eventually, to the point where God Himself can see all of humanity in oneness with Him, in give and receive action with Him, be liberated from the cross.
通過那樣的心情，他經過了這些死亡與復活。這些象徵了不同階段的十字架，從個人的基準到家庭基準、氏族、社會、國家、世界，甚至到包括靈界的天宙，那是他必須堅持的，所以我們能夠越過深淵，不僅我們自己，甚至包括我們的子女。我們可以隨同我們的族人一起越過，我們可以跟我們的社會、國家甚至與靈界一起越過，並且回到神面前。最後，進入到一個神祂自己能夠看到全人類與祂合而為一的程度，與祂進行授受作用，從十字架上被解放出來。
When we praise and sing songs of praise, we are doing it with this motivation, with this type of heart; when we are talking about the name of True Parents, the holy name, that even True Parents said thousands of times, “Do you know how much suffering God had to shed to even find the name?” We can see that we are praising and we are reflecting on the immense love that allows us to get back over the chasm of sin and death and return into eternal life with God and True Parents. If we understand this love, if we understand this grace, then we understand that the only rational response is to return gratitude and glory, to praise that name, to have a sense of responsibility for True Parents; for their health, for their well-being, for their victory, for their glory, for their happiness [and for] God, of course, being the un-manifested True Parents, and the manifest True Parents being the True Parents of Heaven and Earth.
當我們讚美與頌唱讚美詩時，我們是帶著這樣的動機、這樣的心情在進行；當我們頌唱真父母的聖名時，甚至真父母都不知說了幾千次：「你們可知道神必須歷經多大的痛苦才能夠樹立起真父母的聖名？」我們看到我們在頌讚，我們在思想那深厚的愛，能夠讓我們越過那罪與死亡的深淵，並且回到與神與真父母一起的永生生活。如果我們瞭解這樣的愛，明白這樣的恩惠，那麼我們瞭解到對那份愛的唯一合理的回應就是報以感激與榮耀，頌讚他們的聖名，並且為真父母負起一定的責任；為他們的健康、他們的幸福、他們的勝利、他們的榮耀、他們的喜悅，當然也包括無形的真父母---神，彰顯天地人真父母。
When we are able to fulfill this kind of give and receive action, then we can feel joy. That is not temporary. But that grows overtime; that can grow everlasting as filial sons and daughters. See, in our life, we have to live for something and many people in our lives, many people in this world, live for money and power, fame, these kinds of things. We have to choose to live for something in our lives. But living for God and living for the One who paid the price for us to reach God once again, when we are able to live with that purpose and move with that purpose, then we are accumulating the stuff, the merit, the good works, the good deeds, the heartistic accumulation, that even when we pass does not stop at the grave like other material things. And this is the motivation out of which we chant and praise and worship and sing worship songs.
當我們能夠實現這樣的授受作用時，那麼我們就能夠感受到喜悅。這不是暫時的。而是歷久彌新；可以讓我們像孝子孝女般地永遠地成長。明白嗎，在我們的生活中，我們必須為生活中的許多事與眾生而活，為世人而活，為金錢與權利而活、為名位等等這些事。我們的一生中我們必須選擇五項來活。但是為神而活，為那位為我們付出了代價以讓我們能再次回到神面前的那一位而活，當我們能夠為那目的而活時，為那目的而前進時，那我們就會累積一些實績、善工、善行，這是心情的積累，那是在我們死後都不會像那些其他世俗的物質停止的內容。而這正是我們頌唱、頌讚與高唱那些聖詩背後的理由。
It is very important to understand that when we are praising God, when we are praising True Parents, it is not because they have some inadequacy within, or they are weak and they need some encourangement as human beings. It is not because of that. God asks us to praise a higher power. It is for us that God asks us to praise His goodness. Because God knows when we focus on higher things, then the everyday natures of our lives, which are filled with obstacles and challenges and people who are getting in our way are put into perspective. And by focusing on the higher goodness, we are able to overcome those things with a greater grace and a greater power. In the end, God asks us to praise Him not for His own sake, but for ours.
很重要的是我們要瞭解：當我們頌讚神，我們頌讚真父母時，不是因為他們像人類一樣有什麼不足，或他們軟弱，及需要一些鼓勵。不是因為這樣。神要求我們頌讚更高的力量。神要我們頌讚祂的良善是為了我們好。因為神知道當我們聚集在更高的事物時，那麼我們生活中的各位面向，充滿著各種的阻礙與挑戰，某些人衝撞到我們的道路，我們這時都會看清。而通過聚集在更高的良善，我們就能以更大的恩惠與力量來克服這些事。到最後，神是為了我們的好而讓我們來頌讚祂。
In times of difficulties, when we try to face these endless obstacles that come into our lives, then we can face them one by one. We can try to face them one by one, fight them one by one. Use different methods to get over them one by one. But when we are able to work to focus on the higher purpose, the purpose that truly means something in the afterlife, is how much we have served God as our creator and how much we have served the one that He has sent as His representative. And this is the heart by which we praise, this is the heart by which we worship and have the practice of singing praise. You see, by praising the name of Chambumonim, even Chambumonim Eog mansei, we are moving into that power that overcame the tribulations of the tortures and the different prisons that True Father had to go through in his lifetime for the nations and for the world. We are tapping into that power that is unseen that is beyond our power.
在困難的時刻，當我們試著面對那些衝撞我們生活中的各種阻難時，我們就能一一地對應。我們能夠試著一一地面對它們，一一地克服它們。使用不同的方式來一一地解決他們。但是，當我們能夠努力為更大的目的生活時，是對我們的來生有目的的，就是我們在活著的時候侍奉我們的造物主---神有多少，我們侍奉祂所差遣的代表有多少。這才是我們頌讚的心情，正是以這樣的心情來敬拜，是我們在實踐頌讚時的心情。你們明白嗎，通過頌讚真父母Nim的聖名，甚至真父母Nim億萬歲的聖名，我們就會進入那股力量，那是真父親在不同的國家為了這世界而藉以克服不同試煉、酷刑虐待與不同監獄裡的力量。我們正銜接那股看不見的力量，那是超越我們力量的。
In the 13th century, there was a man, by the name of Leonardo Fibonacci. He was the one who introduced arabic numeral system to the western world. He was the first one who brought the Hindu-Arabic system that we all use in the western world. In this numerical system, he also discovered a sequence that is also consistent in nature, which is known as the Fibonacci sequence. That is incredible, it is very simple. You know, 1 + 1 = 2, and from 2 + 1 = 3, 3 + 2 = 5, 5 + 3 = 8, 8 + 5 = 13, etc. This sequence is called the Fibonacci sequence. And this sequence revolutionizes the mathematical world. Totally changed! He discovered something incredible about the natural world and its creator.
在13世紀，有一個叫李奧納多.費波那契的人。他是把阿拉伯數字引入西方世界的那個人。他也是第一位把印度-阿拉伯系統引入西方世界。在這個數位系統中，他也發現一種有穩定特性的數列，也就是眾所周知的費波那契數列。這實在是很了不起，那數列很簡單。你們都知道1+1=2, 3+2=5, 5+3=8, 8+5=13等。這個數列叫做費波那契數列。這個數列造成數學世界的革命。完全地改變了！他發現了自然界與造物主的很了不起的事。
Let us take a look at this very interesting video presentation.

The Fibonacci Series
天地人真父母
Back in the thirteenth century there was a mathematician by the name of Fibonacci. Fibonacci constructed what is called ‘The Fibonacci series’. Now you can see this on the screen, It’s a very simple thing. In the Fibonacci series you add one number to the next number to get the next number.
在13世紀，有一位叫費波那契的數學家。費波那契構建了所謂「費波那契數列」。你們現在可以在銀幕上看到，非常的簡單。在費氏數列人，你們把相鄰的兩個數字相加，以得到下一數字。
1 + 2 = 3,
2 + 3 = 5,
3 + 5 = 8,
5 + 8 = 13,
8 + 13 = 21,
13 + 21 = 34, and on and on and on. You can follow the sequence across.
13 + 21 = 34, 以繼續下去。你們可以依序往下走。
Fibonacci pointed out some interesting things there; that if you divide for instance 144 by 233 you get the number 0.618034 and if you divide 55 by 89 you get the same ratio. What’s interesting about this is that architects took Fibonacci’s material and they started constructing various kinds of objects; buildings, things that have particular design features and one of the things they found was you get what is called pleasing rectangles if you use the Fibonacci scale. So if you look at the rectangle at the bottom of this screen you’ll notice that the length and width of it have a certain ratio and, for instance, if you made the length of the thing 13 and made the width of it (or the height of it as you are looking at the screen) 8 feet you would have Fibonacci numbers and this would be called a ‘Fibonacci rectangle’.
費氏數列在這裡點出了很有趣的內容；如果你們把144除以233，你們會得到0.618034，如果你們把55除以89，你們會得到相同的數字。有趣的是建築師運用了費氏數列，然後構建了不同的計劃；建築物，擁有特別設計特性的東西，其中你們會發現的，如果你們使用費氏比率，你們會得到一種被稱做愉悅矩形。因此，當你們著銀幕底部的矩形時，你們會發現矩形的長寬有一定的比例，例如，如果你們使用13做為長度，讓它的寬或高為8，那麼你們就會得到費氏數列，而這種矩形就被稱做「費氏矩形」。
Now, if you are like a lot of my high school students they say ‘so what?’ Well, that leads to some interesting things. For instance, if you cut a square off a Fibonacci rectangle what’s left is another Fibonacci rectangle. Mathematicians love this kind of stuff. So you see all kinds of things written about how the Fibonacci sequence works.
現在，如果你們也像其他的高中生看過一樣，「又怎樣？」這麼說吧，費氏數列會引導我們進入一些有趣的事。例如，如果你們把費氏矩形切掉一個正方形，那麼留下來的是另一個費氏矩形。數學家喜歡這種東西。因此，你們會看到各式各樣關於費氏數列的文章。
You can also construct what is called a Fibonacci spiral and what architects have found is that people not only find the Fibonacci rectangle aesthetically appealing but they also found that the spiral that you can construct off a Fibonacci rectangle is aesthetically appealing and we build staircases out of Fibonacci spirals. We use Fibonacci spirals for decorations on things. We have all kinds of artistic things in which Fibonacci spirals have been used because people like and enjoy Fibonacci spirals; but do you know who else apparently enjoys Fibonacci spirals?
你們也可以構建所謂的費氏螺旋，建築師發現不單單是費氏矩形的建築物令人愉悅，他們也發現費氏螺旋也討人喜歡，因此我們使用了費氏螺旋來建造樓梯。我們使用費氏螺旋來做裝飾。我們在各式各樣的藝術品中都看得到費氏螺旋，因為公眾喜歡，他們享受費氏螺旋帶來的視覺感觸；但是各位知道嗎，很明顯的還有誰也喜歡費氏螺旋呢？
Apparently God does, because the Fibonacci spiral occurs over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over (sic) in nature. We see curves in nature that match the equation that you see now on the screen. Let me give you some illustrations of this. When you go out into space and you look at a galaxy, and in this picture what you are looking at is called a ‘spiral galaxy’, what you find is that the arms of this galaxy curve with exactly the same curvature that you saw in the Fibonacci spiral in the last frame. The mathematical equation which describes the arms of this galaxy fit the equations of the Fibonacci curve perfectly.
顯然神也很喜歡，因為在自然界中，費氏螺旋一再又一再，一再又一再地出現。我們可以在自然界中看到滿足出現在銀幕上的方程式的弧形。讓我跟各位說明一下。如果你們進入太空，你們看看銀河，你們現在看到的叫做「螺旋宇宙」，你們會發現到，你們看到這張銀河弧形手臂的曲率，跟我們前一張投影片看到的費氏螺旋的曲率完全一樣。用來描述銀河手臂的數學方程式，與費氏弧形完全吻合。
When you look at a wave you find that the curl of the wave matches the Fibonacci spiral perfectly. You watch water go down the drain, counter clock wise in the northern hemisphere, clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Do you know what the first thing I did was when I got to Australia? I went into a men’s rest room and pulled the plug. Sure enough the water went down the drain the wrong way; but actually that force is too weak for it to be reliable but nonetheless the point is that water goes down the drain in a Fibonacci spiral. The equation describes perfectly what’s happening.
當你們看著波浪時，你們會發現波浪的曲度與費氏螺旋完全吻合。當你們注視著水流進下水道時，在北半球你們會看到左旋，在南半球看到右旋。你們知道我在澳大利亞我注意到的第一件事嗎？我上洗手間後，拔起塞子。沒錯，水朝著相反的方向排掉；但事實上，那股力量太小了，不太可靠，但重點是流水係以費氏螺旋排掉。這個方程式完美地描述了排水的方式。
And somebody says, ‘Alright you got a gravitational something or other going on here’. No, no, no, no, because when you have zero gravity and you have sub atomic particles they curl with a Fibonacci spiral. When you balance gravity by buoyancy like in sea shells the curve of the shell is a Fibonacci curve. The equation describes it perfectly. That’s true in fossil forms; it’s also true in modern living forms. As a matter of fact in your own garden you can go out and see Fibonacci spirals in the snails in your garden. You see Fibonacci spirals in the horns of every living thing you can imagine. All of the different animals that inhabit the Earth use Fibonacci spirals for the curvature of their horns and that’s also been true of the past because fossil horns show the very same thing. When you take a look at the curl of the teeth of a Ground Hog it curls with a Fibonacci spiral. When you look at the beak of every bird you can imagine, they all curve with a Fibonacci spiral. When you look at the tail of a Chameleon it curls with a Fibonacci spiral. When you look at vines of pumpkins, potatoes and tomatoes they all curl with a Fibonacci spiral. When you take a look at the petals of a Magnolia they curl with a Fibonacci spiral. When you look at Sunflower seeds they curl with a Fibonacci spiral. When you look at the back of a Pine Cone it curls with a Fibonacci spiral. When you look at a finger print, the pattern of the finger print, curls with a Fibonacci spiral.
有些人會說：「好吧，這不過是重力或其他力量的作用罷了。」不、不、不，不是，因為在零重力，在次原子粒子情況下，它們仍然擁有費氏螺旋的曲度。當你們用浮力來平衡重力，像海螺，它的外殼的曲率也是費氏螺旋。那方程式可以完美地來描述。事實上，在你們自己的花園中，你們可以去找找看蝸牛，牠們的螺旋也是費氏螺旋。你們可以想像的到的每一種活物，牠們的角都是費氏螺旋。生活在地上界的各種不同的動物，牠們都是用費氏螺旋來做牠們的螺旋，這在過去也是一樣，因為化石中的螺旋也是一樣。你們去看看土撥鼠的牙齒的曲度，你們會發現牠也是使用費氏螺旋。當你們去看看你們可以想得到的所有鳥類的鳥嘴，牠們也是使用費氏螺旋做弧度。你們去看看變色龍的尾巴，它也是以費氏螺旋旋轉。你們去看看南瓜、馬鈴薯與蕃茄的藤蔓，它們也是使用費氏螺旋。當你們去看木蘭花的花瓣時，你們會發現它也是以費氏螺旋旋轉。當你們看向日葵時，你們會發現葵花子也是以費氏螺旋旋轉。當你們看松果的底座時，它也是以費氏螺旋旋轉。當你們去看看自己的指紋時，指紋的圖案也是以費氏螺旋旋轉。
On the floor of the ocean there is a living thing called a Christmas Tree Worm and its plankton straining mechanism spiral up with Fibonacci spirals. The proboscis of a moth curls with a Fibonacci spiral. A spider web curls with a Fibonacci spiral. The brain has Fibonacci curvature in it. Cortalla algae, inside the little algae fragments, have Fibonacci spirals. The DNA helix has a Fibonacci spiral. We see the Fibonacci spiral in the cochlea of the inner ear. We see the Fibonacci spiral in the umbilical cord of a baby. Are you picking up a pattern?
在海洋底部，有一種叫聖誕樹蟲的活物，而牠的有一排補捉機構，也是以費氏螺旋盤上。一隻蛾的象鼻口器，也是以費氏螺旋捲縮起來。蜘蛛網也是以費氏螺旋構成。我們的腦也擁有費氏曲度。Cortalla藻，在它的細小的架構內，也擁有費氏螺旋。DNA螺旋也擁有費氏螺旋。門在內耳的耳蝸，也是費氏螺旋。我們在嬰兒的臍帶上，也可以看到費氏螺旋。各位是否發現一種模式？
You see when you look at the natural world, Fibonacci discovered that this sequence occurs everywhere, everywhere in the universe. It occurs how the branches emerge from a tree and even how your heart veins spread out. The interesting thing is that there is no evolutionary advantage to having these shapes. You are no more fit in having Fibonacci spirals on your fingertips than if you had square fingertips and fingerprints. So there is no practical purpose for these shapes other than that they’re balanced, they’re beautiful and they’re aesthetically pleasing; that they have balanced proportions. Through this mathematical perspective we can see in nature that the Creator of the Universe also enjoys beauty, enjoys balance and proportion. He enjoys this because we see it through all of our natures; from the petals, of a tree, of plants, to the different fine textures of the plants, etc. In chapter 1 section 4.2 of the Divine Principle we see that the mind has emotion, intellect and will. Let’s read this together. ‘When the body responds to the mind’s emotion, intellect and will, its actions pursue the values of beauty, truth and goodness, respectively’.
你明白嗎，當你們看著自然世界時，費波那契發現了這個數列處處可見，宇宙中處處都有。它發生在樹要長出枝芽之處，甚至你們心臟的靜脈也都是用這種方式盤出。有趣的是，這些形狀在進化上沒有任何優點。再也沒有任何紋路，例如正方形螺旋，能比費氏螺旋更貼切地構建在我們的手指與指尖。除了平衡之外，這些形狀沒有任何實用的目的，它們長的很美，它們也呈現討喜的美感；它們擁有平衡的比例。通過這樣的數學觀點，我們可以在自然中明白，天宙的造物主也喜歡美，也喜歡平衡與比例。祂喜歡這樣的模式，因為在自然中處處可見；從花瓣到樹，到植物，到植物的不同細微構造等等。在「原理講論」第1章第4.2節說到，我們明白心也有知情意。讓我們一起來奉讀。「肉身即成為情知意的感應體，並以追求美真善價值的行動顯現出來。」（肉身會相對於情知意反應，肉身的動作會分別地追求美、真與善的價值。）
Now when a give and receive action is occurring in the Principle perspective between subject and object, then [through] the love the subject returns, the object will return beauty. Between spouses: of course in Korea they mistakenly call the husband always subject and the wife object. That’s not true from a Principle perspective. They can switch! Don’t mix this up, husbands, very important. But when we reciprocate love to our spouse, then we receive beauty, either both ways. When parents reciprocate love to their children, they receive beauty in the form of filial piety; that is the beauty that children can return back to their parents. When we reciprocate with nature then we can find beauty in nature just like Fibonacci did in the natural world. So God would feel the greatest joy and experience the greatest beauty; beauty which He seeks, because God is not only a powerful intellect, an organizer that created the universe and all the different factors that had to be incorporated there, but He is also artistic; He seeks beauty.
如今，從原理的觀點來看，當主體與對象之間發生了授受作用，那通過主體付予的愛，對象會回報以美。在夫婦之間：當然，當然韓國人錯誤地總是稱丈夫為主體，妻子為對象。從原理的觀點來看，這不是正確的。主體與對象間的關係可以互換！丈夫們，別搞混了，這很重要。但是，當我們與對象間以受授受時，我們會得到美，授與受都同得美。當父母以愛與子女授受時，他們則以孝行領受了美，這是子女能夠獻給父母的美。當我們與自然授受時，我們就可以在自然中找到美，就像費氏數列在自然界中所做的一樣。如此，神會感受到最大的喜悅，經驗到至高的美；祂在尋求美，因為神不僅是一位全智全能的存在，是一個創造天宙的組織者，所有不同的因素都必須相互的授受，但是祂也非常地有藝術感；祂尋求美。
When He would see His children, freely out of free choice, choose to inherit His true love, not selfish love but selfless love, love of the parent, He then would see reciprocated to Him the greatest beauty. He would enjoy and feel joy from the greatest beauty, from His beautiful creation. When we look at the principles of beauty, truth and goodness, what is the greatest beauty, what is the greatest truth, what is the greatest goodness, out of all things? The most beautiful thing, of course we know the answer to what is the most beautiful thing, is true love. The most true thing is true love, when one acts selflessly for the greater purpose. What is the most good thing, when one lives in accordance with that? To live for the greater purpose, that’s the greatest good as we see it.
當祂會看到祂的子女，出於自由意志地選擇，選擇繼承祂的真愛，不是自私的愛，而是無私的愛，父母之愛，那麼祂會看到與祂授受的是最美的事物。祂會從至美中享受與感受到喜悅，從祂的美麗被造萬物中。當我們看著美、真與善的原理時，萬物中什麼是至美、至真與至善？最美的事物，當然我們知道最美的事物的答案就是：真愛。至真的也是真愛，那是一個人無私地為更偉大的目的而活。什麼是至善的事？一個人要根據什麼而活？為更偉大的目的而活，那就是我們所看到的至善。
Love is the center of all these aspects because it is the essence of God Himself. This essence was never described in theology; thousands of years of theology. God is transcendent, unknowable, and in the end, a mystery. His essence cannot be known. But the Principle and True Parents reveal to us the essence of God’s nature. This is essential from a mathematical scientific standpoint, because if you cannot define something, you cannot approach it. You cannot approach it. So when we look at the history of the world, then what is the greatest example of God’s Love for the world and the universe? Of course up to this point we could see that it was the love of Christ, the love that would sacrifice; the love that He talked about in John 14, the love that would sacrifice His life for His friends. The greatest love He said.
愛是所有面向的中心，因為愛是神的精髓。幾千年來的神學從來沒有描述神的精髓。神是超越時間空間、是不可知的，到最後，神是神秘的。祂的精髓是不可知的。但是「原理」與真父母揭示出神的精髓的本質。這種科學數學的觀點來看是非常重要的，因為如果你們無法定義出什麼內容，那麼你們就無法接近它。你們無法接近。因此當我們研究世界歷史時，神對這世界、這天宙的愛最偉大的例子是什麼？當然，到現在我們知道那是基督的愛，那是犧牲的愛；那是基督在約翰福音第14章談到的愛，為朋友犧牲生命的愛。那是耶穌說的最偉大的愛。
But we can see the greatest love in the life of our True Parents. We can see the greatest love that was manifested for us, for our families, etc. We can ride that cross, get on the cross as a bridge to get back to God. In mathematics, there is something called an asymptote. I know that you all have studied math very diligently and you all love math and there is something called an asymptote. So the question is: we see in the Principle, very clear, the Messiah is not God. He is not the Creator; whereas in Christianity, Jesus is God the Creator of the whole universe. He’s actually the creator God; He’s not just the Messiah. He is actually God. But in the Principle, we’re very clear on this point, the Messiah is not God. He’s not the creator God. He’s not God, He is a man. This is very important because right now we see True Parents become one with God. We also hear the substantial representation of God on Earth. The manifested True Parents. God is the un-manifested True Parents. True Parents are the manifested True Parents. And one would say then, “Well then they’re God.” We can ask this question. But this is why understanding math and an asymptote is very important. Look at the right side corner; we see that the curve goes up toward the Y axis and it goes right up all the way.
但是，我們也可以看到我們的真父母一生中最偉大的愛。我們可以看到向我們、我們的家庭等等所彰顯的最偉大的愛。我們騎著那十字架，乘著那十字架渡過橋樑而回到神面前。在數自中，有一種叫asymptote。我道你們都非常努力地研讀數學，你們都喜愛數學，而數自中有一種叫漸近線的東西。因此，問題是：我們從原理中清楚地看到，彌賽亞不是神。彌賽亞不是造物主，在基督教中，耶穌是神，是天宙的造物主。他就是造物主神本身。他就是神。但是根本據原理，我們清楚地知道，彌賽亞不是神。他不是造物主神。他不是神，他是人。這是非常重要的，因為我們現在明白真父母與神合而為一。我們也聽到真父母是神在地上的實體代表。彰顯的真父母。神是未彰顯的真父母。真父母是彰顯的真父母。這時有人會說：「那麼他們是神囉？」我們可以問這個問題。但是這是為什麼我們要來瞭解數學，而漸近線是非常的重要。看看右邊的角落。我們看到一條曲線向上趨近Y軸，並且一直向上趨進。
Now when you look at this curve, you are going to assume at some point, because the curve and the Y axis becomes closer and closer and closer…to infinity, at some point it’s going to touch, right? It seems like it’s going to touch. They are going to get so close that they are finally going to touch. They are going for a long time so finally they are going to touch. But those two lines will never touch. They will infinitely get closer, but they will never touch! They will never touch each other. They will not become one line. This is very important. You’ll say, “Wait, when I look at this, it feels like they are going to touch.” But when you do it mathematically, we can use a simple equation; 1 divided by 2 is 0.5, 0.5 divided by 2 is 0.25, 0.25 divided by 2 is 0.125, 0.125 divided by 2 is 0.0625, etc.; we can do this for infinity. It will never reach zero.
現在，當你們看著這條曲線時，你們可以假設在某一點，因為曲線與Y軸會愈來愈近，愈來愈近，近到無限近，到了某一點，幾乎要接觸了。他們靠的很近很近，到最後幾乎要接觸了。但是曲線與Y軸卻永遠不會接觸。它們一起併行了很久，因此最後幾乎要接觸了。但是這兩條線永遠不會接觸。他們不會形成一條線。它們會變的無限靠近，但是卻永遠不會接觸。它們永遠不會彼此接觸。它們不會成為一條線。這是非常重要的。你們會說，「等等，當我看到這點時，我覺得它們就要接觸了。」但是，當你們做數學時，我們可以舉一個簡單的方程式；1除以2等於0.5，0.5除以2等於0.25，0.25除以2等於0.125，0.125再除以2等於0.0625，等等；我們可以一直除到無限小。但是永遠不會等於零。
In the same way, when we go up that curve, it’s never going to actually be the Y axis. It’s going to get infinitely and microscopically closer forever ad infinitum. But it will never actually be the Y axis. In the same way, when we understand math, we understand Principle is very mathematical, very mathematical. Our theology is extremely scientific, mathematical. In the same way, True Parents have inherited God’s essence, His true love. So much so that they can come infinitely closer to God and become so close just like that curve to the Y axis, they are still two, but basically indistinguishable; so close, continuously, that they’re basically indistinguishable. They basically look the same, but they’re still two. When we understand that this curve is being pioneered by True Parents, the curve itself is being pioneered by True Parents, in resembling God, in getting closer and closer and becoming God’s representative. Getting closer, infinitely closer but of course remaining two.
同樣的，當我們沿著曲線朝上逼進時，那條曲線是永遠不會融入Y軸。那條曲線會進入無限近，微觀上的接近，無止盡。同樣的，當我們瞭解數學時，我們就瞭解「原理」是非常地符合數學，非常的數學化。我們的神學也是非常的科學，非常地數學。同樣的，真父母已經繼承了神的精髓---祂的真愛。他們繼承的非常地完整，使他們能夠無限地接近神，近到就好像那條曲線接近Y軸一樣，但是他們仍然是二個不同的個體，但是實際上是不可分的；非常地接近，持續不斷，他們基本上是不可分的。他們基本上看起來很像，但是仍然是二個獨立的存在。當我們瞭解這條曲線就是真父母所開拓的道路，這條曲線的本身就是由真父母開拓的，相似於神，愈來愈親近神，並且成為神的代表。愈來愈接近，但是當然他們仍然是不同的個體。
Then we also understand that through this path, through following True Parents, through also understanding their path through praising, adoring the love that they shed upon us, to save the world, then we too can start walking this path like the curve. Now we won’t become True Parents, we won’t become God but we will be able to become infinitely closer, when we walk in a path of True Love. This is not possible in other systems of theology because God and man, for example in Christian theology, are completely separate. God is perfect and man is imperfect, he is sinful in his nature, God is totally pure. So we can approach God through Christ but we can never resemble God, we can never become God-like. But mathematically that’s wrong. Because in this perspective, we can see even in this asymptote, although we don’t become that Y axis, we can walk so close, we can get so close. If we throw away our own ego self, we get so close, everything we act, do, think is just how God would act, do or think. It is just how True Parents would act, do or think in that situation; in total selfless, sacrificial True Love. You see how amazing the Principle is when we understand its depth. It has so much incredible…it’s so mathematical and scientific. I was never a math fan myself but this is exciting for me to see this. I hated math, I hated math, but now I love it!
於是，我們也同時瞭解到，通過這條道路，通過跟隨真父母，通過瞭解他們的道路，通過頌讚、渴慕他們為我們付出的愛，拯救世界，於是我們也能夠開始行走像這條曲線一樣的道路。如今，我們不會成為真父母，我們不會成為神，但是我們當我們行走這條道路時，我們能夠無限地接近他們。這在其他的宗教系統裡面是不可能的，例如，在基督教神學中，神與人是完全分隔的。神是完美的，人是不完美的，人在本性上是罪惡的，神則是完全地純潔。因此我們能夠通過基督接近神，但是我們永遠無法相似於神，我們永遠不會像神一樣。但是從數學上來看，那是錯的。因為在這樣的觀點中，我們可以看到甚至在這條曲線中，雖然我們無法成為Y軸，但是我們能夠趨近，我們可以愈來愈趨近。如果我們拋棄我們的自我，我們會非常地親近神，親近到不論我們做什麼事，我們都會想要如果是神，祂會怎麼做，祂會怎麼想。這正是真父母在那種情況下在做，在想或行事的；在完全地無私與犧牲的愛中。你們可以看到，當我們瞭解這麼深入時，我們會看到「原理」是多麼地奇妙。「原理」有許多玄妙之處。非常地符合數學與科學。我自己從來不是非常地喜歡數學，但是看到這樣的內容仍然令我興奮。我討厭數學，我討厭數學，但是現在我愛上數學了！
Through the seven deaths and resurrections like that True Love of True Parents, that will die, give itself up, die, die, die over and over for the sake that the children will be free. We will do that as our parents maybe once or twice but this is endless, this is the endless love of God. This is the type of love that we talk about in the Unification tradition when we talk about True Love. We’re not just talking about, you know, saying nice words all the time, this kind of thing. We are talking about a phenomenal, heroic love that is beyond imagination, beyond what we normally perceive as friendly love. It is a heroic love and this love as we see from the True Parents is beautiful; this is the most beautiful thing in God’s eyes.
通過像真父母的真愛---七死復活，那就是為了讓他們的子女自由，他們願意受死，願意放棄自己的一切，死了又死，一而再地為子女受死。我們也許會為我們的父母死個一次或二次，但是這是無止盡的，這是神的無盡的愛。這就是我們統一教在談到真愛時的那種愛。我們不是只說說而已，你們要知道，我們不是時時在說好聽的話，說人愛聽的話。我們在談的是一種現象，超越想像的英勇的愛，超越我們平常能想像的朋友之愛。這是英勇的愛，這是我們看到來自真父母的愛，是最美的愛；這在神的眼中是最美的。
The most true thing when His creation, when His sons and daughters try to inherit this love. The most good thing, the most true thing, the most beautiful thing, this is what God seeks. This was the purpose of creation to find the one, the reciprocal partner through which He could give and receive love; it’s essentially very simply to find the True Parents. That’s the purpose of creation. So when we sing the name True Parents, when we praise the name True Parents, when we say cham-bu-mo-nim og mansei, when we’re doing some event and everybody’s very tired and it’s been going on for three hours and we’re sleeping, many of us are nodding off, but then at the end we get up and we do an og mansei, then everybody feels totally refreshed. Are you ready, lets og mansei. (Hyung-jin nim leads three cheers of og mansei for God, True Parents and Cheon Il Guk) Oh Lord have mercy because now you move with a different vibration (applause).
這是當祂的被造萬物，當祂的兒子與女試著要去繼承真愛時，這就是最美的事物。這是最至善的事、這也是最真實的事物、最美的事物，這正是神所尋求的。這就是創造的目的，要去尋找一位授受的夥伴，能夠與祂授受愛；簡單的說就是去尋找真父母。這就是創造的目的。因此當我們在頌唱真父母的聖名時，當我們在頌讚真父母的聖名時，當我們在頌唱cham-bu-mo-nim og mansei時，當我們在進行一些活動，並且每個人都很疲累時，進行了三小時，且我們都要睡了，我們當中許多人都在打瞌睡，但是到最後我們突然醒了，我們開始頌唱og mansei，當下每個人又感到精力充沛了。各位準備好了嗎，讓我們進行og mansei。（亨進Nim主領了三唱神、真父母與天一國og mansei）願主慈悲，因為現在你們是在不同的振動頻率上了（會眾鼓掌）。
Immediately we feel different because there’s a different vibration there, different sequence. When we receive this love and grace with humility and praise, then we can also become more beautiful. Just like God seeks the beauty of the Fibonacci Spiral, then also our love that manifests can be like that, beautiful like a Fibonacci Spiral. Beautiful, aesthetically pleasing, balanced love that returns, that comes back to God. That gives Him joy in the purpose of creation, feeling the goodness of His creation. It is with this heart that we want to practice love and when we go to Yeosu we’ll have the time every night to practice on the meditation of Cham…mansei. This can be done at fast speed or slow speed, but let’s all get back to one more time understanding the universe itself is all energy, quantum energy. You are quantum energy; everything is vibrating in and out of existence, although you cannot see it. Just like the light spectrum, we cannot see the entire light spectrum, we can only see a little bit. What we can’t see is more manifest, is more the reality of what the universe can experience.
我們立馬感到不一樣了，因為這是不同的頻率，不同的數列。當我們帶著頌讚與謙卑的心情領受這份愛與恩惠時，我們也因此會變的愈來愈美。就像神在費氏螺旋中尋找美一樣，我們的愛也能夠像那樣地彰顯，像費氏螺旋一樣地美。美麗、愉悅美麗，平衡的愛，又歸回到我們的父神。這會帶給祂創造目的中的喜悅，感受到祂創造的善美。是在這樣的心情下我們想要實踐愛，當我們去濟洲時，我們每天晚上都會有時間來練習cham-bu-mo-nim og mansei冥想。我們可以做快動作或慢動作，但是讓我們再來一次，瞭解到整個天宙都是能量，量子能量。你們都是量子能量；萬物都在振動以保持存在，雖然你們無法看到。就像光譜一樣，我們無法看到全部的光譜，我們只能看到其中的一段。而我們無法看到的，才是更彰顯的，才是宇宙間能夠體驗到的最真實的部份。
When we understand that the purpose of creation was the reciprocal partner of True Love, basically True Parents; what Adam had to do, what Jesus had to do. Basically what we understand, it is True Parents. Then when we connect ourselves with the name of True Parents, with the heart of gratitude and offering praise, then we start changing our vibration. We can start changing what is coming out of us. We can start changing our frequency. We can start connecting to the frequency that moves towards the purpose of creation. Thus we become different. So let’s now enter into our brief [meditation]; not a long time, usually we do a little longer time in our morning practice. Let’s do it a very short time. Let’s all prepare ourselves. Let’s close our eyes and straighten our back. I want to ask you to put your hands on your heart, on your chest. Lay two hands on your heart. Let’s gently close our eyes and let’s feel, first of all our heart beating, the warmth of our heart, the hands.
當我們瞭解到創造的目的，就是尋找真愛授受的對象，基本上就是真父母；也就是亞當與耶穌本來應該成就的。基本上，我們所瞭解的是，就是真父母。於是，當我們帶著感激的心情與獻上頌讚，來把我們自己連結到真父母的聖名時，我們能開始改變我們的振動頻率。我們開始改變我們發出的頻率。我們開始改變我們的頻率。我們開始連結到能夠朝向創造目的移動的頻率。於是讓我們變的不同。因此，現在讓我們進行簡短的冥想；時間不長，通常我們在晨更時會進行時間長一點的冥想。因此我們現在做簡短的冥想。讓我們大家預備自己。讓我們閉起眼睛，挺直背。我要各位把手放在胸前，按在心口上。把手按在心上。讓我們緩慢地閉上眼睛，讓我們來感覺，先感覺自己的心跳，感受到胸口與手掌的熱量。
Then we will also begin to chant the vibration, chant Cham Bo Mo Nim ok mansei. We are going to chant together with the Hoonsa Nims. Let’s sing together with that type of mindset. (Singing begins) Feel the vibration moving through you. Together we sing. Chambonim ok mansei….feel the heartbeat…feel the energy…you can feel it moving through all your body…focus on the sound, the beautiful vibration of the sound, the waves…one more time…one voice, one voice, altogether, one frequency…one more time…move with the flow of the universe…ride with the sound of the universe…focus on the higher power…one more time…spiral…your thoughts…7 deaths and resurrections, the love of the parent…praise Him…last time, one more time…change your vibration, change your sound…feel the vibration on your heart…(singing ends) Aju.
接下來，我們開始頌唱那振動頻率，cham-bu-mo-nim og mansei。我們要跟我們的訓師Nim一起來頌唱。讓我們一起用那樣的心情來頌唱。（頌唱開始）感覺振動穿過自己。讓我們一起頌唱。cham-bu-mo-nim og mansei，感受心跳…感受能量…你們可以感受到能量流過全身…專注在聲音上，聲音美好的振動，振波…再來一次…一個聲音，一個聲音，一起來，一個頻率…再來一次…與宇宙的洪流一起移動…與天宙的聲音一起移動…專注在更高的能量上…再來一次…螺旋…你們的思想…七死復活，父母之愛…頌讚祂…最後一次，再來一次…改變你們的振動，改變你們的聲音…感覺到你們心臟的振動…（頌唱結束）。阿主！
Let’s finish by reading the last collection of words from True Parent’s words Pyunghwa Shingyeong Peace messages 125. Let’s read together:
最後，讓我們一起來奉讀真父母聖言集---「和平訊息」第125頁。讓我們一起來奉讀。
“True love is the well spring of the universe. Once a person possesses it, true love makes that person the center and the owner of the universe. True love is the root of God and a symbol of His will and power. When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually increasing in the joy of each other’s company. The attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet. Even God will come to dwell with us.” Aju.
「真愛就是天宙中的泉水。一但一個人擁有了真愛之後，真愛會讓那個人成為中心，成為天宙的主人。真愛是神的根源，是祂的旨意與力量的象徵。當我們在真愛中凝聚在一起時，我們能夠永遠地在一起，在每個人的陪伴下繼續地成長。真愛的吸引力把天宙中的萬物都帶到我們的腳前。甚至神也會來與我們住在一起。」阿主！
Let’s all stand and let us all rise and let’s lift up our hands as we pray a final prayer. And really as we’re praying let’s muster our energy as if we’re sending our strength to True Parents. Let’s pray.
讓我們一起起立，讓我們高舉雙手，一起進行我們的結束禱告。當我們禱告時，讓我們一起匯集我們的能量，就像我們在把我們的力量傳給真父母一樣。讓我們一起禱告。
Dearest most beloved Heavenly Father, thank you so much for all that you have done. For Father, this day, we want to come to know you. Father, we want to come endlessly closer to you, like we saw True Parents, Father, through the endless love that they bestowed upon us; to save us, our families, tribes, nations, world and cosmos to get back to you, to come back to you over the deep chasm that has separated us from you with sin and death; but now, Father, bringing us back into eternal life, a life that we can be together with our family in your presence. Father, this day we want you to know that we want to muster our strength; we want to change our frequency, Father.
最親愛的天父，感謝您為我們所做的一切。父神啊，今天我們要來認識您。父神啊，我們想要無止盡地親近您，就像我們看到真父母一樣，父神啊，通過他們賜給我們的那無盡的愛；來拯救我們、我們的家庭、氏族、國家、世界與天宙，使他們回到您的面前，回到您深深的懷抱裡，那是因為我們的罪與死亡使我們與您隔離；父神啊，但是現在，又賜給了我們永生的生命，一種我們能與我們的家庭一起在您面前擁有的生命。父神啊，今天們要您知道，我們想要匯集我們的力量；父神啊，我們想要改變我們的頻率。
We want to change our energy; we want to connect with the energy of the purpose of your creation, the reciprocal partner that you sought for. Father, we want to move with the flow of the universe, the heavenly blessing of the universe that moves towards True Parents spiritually. We want to connect with that power, Father; use us in a great way. Father, we pray that today we can send this energy, this heart of devotion. Let it spiral out from us in beautiful sounds resonating through the universe and give True Parents strength. Father we pray for True Parent’s health. We want to have a sense of responsibility for their health, for their victory and for their glory.
我們想要改變我們的頻率；我們想要與您的創造目的的能量連結起來，我們想要成為您所尋找的夥伴。父神啊，我們想要與天宙的能量一起移動，想要與在靈裡流向真父母的天運祝福連結在一起。父神啊，我們想要與那股力量連結，請您把我們用在更偉的的地方。父神啊，我們祈求我們能夠送出這股能量，這份精誠的心情。讓這股心情以美麗的聲音通過與天宙一起共振而從我們身上發出，來帶給真父母力量。父神啊，我們為真父母的健康禱告。我們要他們的健康負責，他們的勝利與他們的榮耀負責。
We want to be those types of children that can return that beauty and love to them. Father, please anoint us this day so we can come forth as a new creation. We can emerge from this sanctuary with a totally different tone and a totally different sound. We can, through our lives and in difficulties allow the power of calling Chambumonim ok mansei to melt away any fear, any hesitation, any distress, any suffering so that once again we can connect back to you and your songs that you sing to us as your children. Father, we can come back to you eternally and return to your bosom. We pray and are grateful; we follow the path of True Parents. We want to endlessly come closer to you, forever and ever, in our names. Aju.
我們想要成為這樣的子女，能夠把美與愛呈獻給他們。父神啊，請您在今天就恩膏我們，好讓我們能像新人一樣向前邁進。我們能夠以完全不同的聲調、完全不同的聲音從這聖殿走出去。我們能夠通過我們的生活，在困難中用頌唱Chambumonim ok mansei的力量來化解任何恐懼、任何遲滯、任何沮喪、任何痛苦，好讓我們能夠再一次地連結到您與您的聖詩，那是您對您的子女唱的歌。父神啊，我們能夠永遠地回到您面前，回到您的胸懷裡。我們祈求，我們非常地感恩；我們要跟隨真父母的道路。我們想要無止盡地親近您，永永遠遠，奉我們的名報告。阿主！
Thank you.
謝謝各位。
