The Schengen ban against the entry of Father and Mother did not apply to the entire True Family, who flew in from both Canada and New York, led by Hyun Jin Nim. After an overnight "red eye" from JFK to Vienna, they landed mid morning only to disperse immediately to cities throughout Austria. In Vienna, Dr. and Mrs. Yong Cheol Song and Dr. and Mrs. Joong Hyun Pak, Rev. Peter, and Mr. Peter Haider, and staff welcomed and took good care of all the staff.

Mr. Peter Heider was emcee for the main event. Reuben Silverbird gave the welcoming remarks, speaking of being thrilled that Hyun Jin Moon was in Vienna, and lamenting the prejudicial barrier that was keeping True Parents from entering Austria. The Vienna Peace Choir, a 2nd generation choir performed; they are an excellent, well-trained choir. Dr. Walsh led the Holy Wine and read the Chairman’s Address. Rev. and Mrs. Joong Hyun Pak officiated the Blessing.

Hyun Jin Nim (HJN) presented the Founder’s Address at the main event in Vienna. Prior to giving his address, HJN had a chance to take a walk through the main parts of the old city of Vienna, seeing palaces and gardens, monuments to Hapsburg Emperors and musical "emperors like Mozart and Strauss. When he entered the stage, he began by speaking about how much he liked Vienna, noting the 250 anniversary of celebrating the genius and talent or Mozart, and stating that God’s dream and True Parents dream was a symphony of true love, and that was what was expressed in this message. He spoke passionately and dynamically. The audience was enthusiastic, warm-hearted and very receptive to the message.

In the evening reports came in from the other cities. According to Peter Zohrer, the city leaders were all very inspired by the events in their cities.

In Vienna, when he was not leading the main event, HJN was continually, from morning to night, speaking to, guiding, and inspiring the leaders and members.

Before I go I want to say a few words. We don’t have much time this morning. I didn’t realize the Austrians create so much beautiful music. The most beautiful music of all is a symphony of true love, bringing together all people from all races, nationalities, religions, in true love. This is the greatest music of all.

What was the dream that God had? It was for the realization of the ideal family. From the time of Adam and Eve, God wanted to create the ideal family. The ideal that God wanted to substantiate through that family was not realized. The history we have now is not the history God wanted. The history of Israel even was not God’s ideal, but a result of the Fall. God’s original ideal of history was to expand his family of true love. To expand the realm of cosmic peace. To build God’s kingdom. The ideal of God’s kingdom was an original homeland, this was to be a palace of the true family.

The tree of life and the tree of knowledge were in the garden. The Tree of Knowledge can be either good or evil, depending on the quality of love. God’s essence is true love. God created humanity because of his own absolute faith, love and obedience toward his ideal of creation. It Adam and Eve had reciprocated that love, they would have risen to the level of individual perfection … a level of perfection was a beginning point for God to dwell with them and build on that foundation. On the foundation of their perfection, God would bless them in marriage and they would multiply and have dominion.

What do we mean by lineage? Transfer from one generation to the next. This is seen in the Four Position Foundation. But for so many, beginning with 36 couples, we did not know this ideal so well. The focus was on building the foundation to allow the age of Cheon Il Guk. We came through the restoration era. With the Coronation Ceremony of God, we start a new history. This history centers on the ideal family of God.

Adam and Eve did not get kicked out, but as their heart deviated from God, they naturally became distant. The parent child relationship is to essential in all the universe, but is based on true love and heart. The essence of the Fall was rooted in false love, self-centered love, and this created distance. Satan, who was the helper of God, initiated this taint in Adam and Eve.

Therefore in the next generation of Adam and Eve, we sea the fruit, reaping what was sown, and we see Cain kill Abel.

This is a time when the original ideal of God’s family must be realized. As we look at 3 generations of God’s family, we see this coming to be. In three generations we have past, present and the future united. As these three are centered on God and true love.

Yesterday’s event was the spreading of God’s word and blessing through 3 generations. This is historical, providential. Thus the realization of God’s dream can be realized in this age.

Each of you central Blessed families must also follow this model. As Austrian Blessed Central Families you develop this pattern. In the future we will no longer think I am Austrian, German, French, American, or Korea … but as citizens of Cheon Il Guk. Amen? No man?

I see 2nd generation here. The best form of marriage or Blessing is inter-cultural exchange marriage, blending of the races. Within one two or three generations there is no distinction, one family under God.

Each Blessed family should seek a daughter-in-law or son-in-law from every continent. Carry on the tradition.

Yesterday was a truly historical and providential event. Now is the time for you to take ownership of the dream of God. That has to be your dream. Inheritance is not an inheritance of property, position or power, is to inherit the dream that God had. As Blessed Central Families, extended family members of True Family, you must carry on God’s dream, True Parents' dream.

To close, I want to sing a song that is appropriate to this tour. It’s entitled, "If I Can Dream, Tom, Young Jun these are my backup singers … come on up.?
