Moon’s words from his Autobiography:
Money earned honorably, used prayerfully
Funds accumulated through business operations are sacred. For business profits to be sacred, however, it is important not to lie or to take excessive profit. When conducting business, we must always be honest and we should never take a profit of more than thirty percent. Money earned in this honorable manner must, of course, be spent prayerfully. It must be spent with a clear purpose and intent. This is the principle of business management that I have promoted throughout my life. I believe the purpose of business is not simply to make money. It is also to support the missionary work, which is the work of God.
Autobiography page 148
Everything We Have is Borrowed from Heaven
People say I am one of the richest people in the world, but they don’t know what they are talking about. I have worked hard all my life, but I don’t own so much as a single house in my name. [In an earlier edition of the Autobiography but then edited out of later editions: ‘Neither do I have property that I have placed in my wife’s name or in the names of my children so as to conceal its true ownership.'] Everything is for the public. Virtually every adult Korean has his official stamp that he registers with the government and uses to sign legal documents. I don’t have such a stamp.
You may wonder, then, what benefit I have received from working hard and not eating or sleeping while others ate and slept. I didn’t work so I could be rich. Money has no meaning to me. Any money not used for the sake of humanity, or for the sake of my neighbor who is dying in poverty, is nothing more than a piece of paper. Money earned through hard work should always be used to love the world and carry out projects that benefit the world.

Father's words in Alaska about Hyun Jin Moon [and about businesses]
by Michael Lamson and Taekon Lee
August 3, 2011
Dear families,
As you are aware True Parents have been really hurt by the actions of their son Hyun Jin Nim and the Kwak family. True Parents have always hoped that their son would return but his actions have shown clearly that this will not happen. Hyun Jin Nim and the Kwak family have been selling assets that are providentially important and that were developed and paid for by True Parents and members.
A few months ago I heard that Hyun Jin Nim is now in the process of selling True World Foods (TWF). TWG (True World Group) was Father's life dream and one that he has invested countless prayers and resources into. This will cause many problems as members will most likely lose jobs that they have held for many years. I would suggest that members who work in TWF seriously look for new jobs if possible. Those who need to work for TWG or UCI (Unification Church International) companies should continue to do so but should be clear about where they stand spiritually when it comes up at work and start saving money for when those companies fall apart during the coming law suits.
These are notes from Fathers words over the last few days [in August, 2011] in Alaska
by Taekon Lee
[Some notes omitted here. There is a link to the full notes below.]
Father: Are these members all?
All company members receive payroll? Who is giving that salary? Who is the owner? Who is true owner? True Parents or Hyun Jin? (Father is yelling: Clearly answer.)
Kwak Family and Hyun Jin should not be involved in any business. Even when this company was in trouble, I invested million dollars. This company belongs to True Parents, not somebody else. Without True Parents, there is no ISA. The company belongs to True Parents or somebody else? If you think it belongs to somebody else, you should leave Kodiak, ISA.
Anyone belong to the Kwak family, you should leave. I have nothing to do with the Kwak family and Hyun Jin. True Parents no longer related to Kwak family and Hyun Jin family.
Everybody should belong to True Parents. Otherwise you are legally in trouble.
If True Parents sue ISA and leadership, you will be in big trouble. If you are not united with Father’s direction, you will go to prison.
Who is True Parents?
That is outcome. Every property belongs to True Parents and the Unification Church.
So, the Kwak family will go to jail because they are against True Parents and they are stealing money and property which belong to True Parents.
Anybody in any country who is trying to steal True Parents’ belongings and property like the Kwak family will go to jail. They are not even afraid of secular law. If True Parents sue them, they will be in trouble.
No one can decide even small property sale without True Parents’ approval.
As an owner, Savior, and Messiah, True Parents can control all the earth and property. You should have clear faith related to this small company.
True Parents is the center of all things. You should understand who True Parents are. Father’s memory about even small things is very clear. Father remembers small things forever.
Three leaders face to True Parents! Take out your cell phones and bring them to me!
Everything belongs to True Parents. Father just reminds you that this is not a new fact. Everything belongs to True Parents.
This moment is the evidence you have made a commitment. So take pictures! If the Judge asks whether you have any evidence for this property, you should bring this picture as an evidence.
Is somebody recording my words? If anybody checks my words, they will know whether Father is right or wrong. Everybody take picture of this moment.
From today, since you understand everything clearly, you will follow Father’s direction. Answer clearly.
(Yes).
Do you agree on True Parents’ direction and message today? You will testify from today. We will be on True Parents side. And testify everywhere even in court. If you agree, raise your hands and clap.
Three representatives can sit down. All the members call your children.
ISA belongs to True Parents, the founder and all property belongs to Unification Church. Restaurant also belongs to True Parents and the church.
Please cut off any relationship with UCI. Clearly know you belong to Unification Church, not ISA and UCI.
If you are not clear about this, you will be very confused in the spirit world.
