Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares? Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers. May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
A loving doe, a graceful deer-- may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love. Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife? For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths. The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin hold him fast. He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly.
Proverbs 5 15-23
What is the definition of good fortune? We may think it is when we obtain a great sum of money and status in society. Good fortune does not have anything to do with eating well or living well. Meeting a good partner well is good fortune. The greatest blessing one can obtain is to pave a way for a relationship that follows the relationships that engulf heaven and earth and the law of the natural relationship of human beings. There is not a greater blessing.
By this standard, are those of America following this heavenly tradition? We seem to value not our marriages and families, but what we can show to the outside world and what material wealth we can render.
No matter how famous or prestigious a family is, if a person does not meet the right wife, then he will become miserable. Even if one is a great athlete or have a masters and a great academic background, he will not be happy if he marries a bad wife.
I think we see this evidence many times by powerful and talented people in the entertainment industry yet, they cannot seem to get their love lives in a stable position. Many celebrities lose years of their wealth anyway during the proceedings of a divorce, isn't this correct? So, for someone to meet a husband or wife who is willing to follow the heavenly path and lend their family life to God will meet a great fortune.
This is the same for women as well. A great tennis player or a woman who stands well in society, if she meets a bad husband who takes her for granted or uses her for her fame the results are the same. Therefore, the greatest of fortunes is meeting your partner well. This is the greatest blessing.
By meeting the right partner specifically catered to unite with you, you will have good children.
It Is Inevitable That Your Partner Is Somewhere
Therefore it is the Principle that they love each other absolutely. When they feel the taste of love, those details are no problem.
Let's visit the Garden of Eden once more. When God created Adam as His ideal of creation, did Adam have many other humans designed with His divine nature from which to choose? Adam did not have this chose. god had designed Eve just for him. Have you ever wondered if Eve was a beautiful woman or a wreck with oily hair? Whether she was unattractive or not, Adam was to absolutely love her. Even is she was big or too short, she was the sole, unique being created for Adam.
It is the Principle that they absolutely love one another because then these small details that normally could cause a break in love will not be a problem.
"True love fills and over-fills what is imperfect."
You might think that Adam was handsome and Eve was beautiful, but you cannot know that. Whether a man is handsome or ugly cannot be a real problem. These days there are women who don't like to look at themselves in the mirror or take pictures because they think they are so ugly, but this is totally unnecessary.
We are talking about finding the person who is your ideal partner for lifetime. What is the ideal when it comes to choosing a spouse? It is the same standard as when there was only one woman and one man in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were supposed to be True Parents centered on their absolute loyalty to God. So, were the True Parents to have roaming eyes looking around for the 'right' woman?
When lightning strikes from the sky, it does not first look where it is to land. When plus and minus meet they will always strike. At the moment the minus appears, they both become one. Centering on the love of God, we each must become like this.
Do people worry that when one girl is born in the world and there are ten boys, that they say that the other nine shall die because they do not have a partner?
When a girl and boy are born in this world they do not look for a mate. It is not right for them to look because the mate is inevitably somewhere. It is unnecessary to give birth or to have birth control or abortions to even out the population of girls to boys.
If there is a man, there is a woman. If there is a female, a male will be born.
All men and women of this world are in the position of the fallen Adam and fallen Eve. Fallen Adam and Eve became the son and daughter of Satan. Therefore, going into this world of Satan, the problem is how to find, win, and establish God's son and daughter.
This is fulfilled through the Divine Principle.
It is the fundamental rule of creation that when a perfect Adam exists, then the perfect Eve is restored. Accordingly, if a perfect plus appears, the minus will automatically come into existence. If a perfect minus appears, a perfect plus will likewise come into existence. The universe is absolutely fair.
There is no need for population control because there is not much difference between the numbers of men and women when we look at the global level. No matter how much the air moves around in all direction, the pressure will achieve a balance.
This is symbolic in the Bible in Genesis when it states that Eve was created out of a man, Adam.
The ideal of "I" is not what caused the fall. When we look at the viewpoint of God's providence to restore man back to His original ideal before the fall, it is the relationship to the other, the partner that is the problem. The fall was created when two people entered into an inappropriate relationship away from God.
They united centered on the Archangel's word to eat. Since we are in the process of recreation, we should rebuild heaven on Earth through the will of God and not the satanic way as humanity has been charging forward since the fall.
The way to reverse the actions of the fall is to establish a correct relationship with an object or partner that is to become your companion. Everyone wishes that their partner was better than they were, but this type of thinking is impossible when it comes to the providence of restoring the world.
Because of the fall, when we expect that our partner from the beginning of the relationship is going to be better than 'I' this is not the right kind of thinking. To expect in this fallen world that the person will appear before us already better than ourselves is wrong. If we desire a good partner, we should manifest this quality in ourselves by investing more effort than our partner.
It is because there has to be recreation. It is through the merit of investing myself that my partner is moved and comes to appear as an object with value. God created heaven and earth not just to see them as they are.
He created in order to love, with heart as the basis. In the same way the only thing that matters in recreation is acting with the heart as the guide. Even though Adam and Eve are small, in the world of the heart, they are not seen as small but big.
A relationship that is based on this misconception and thought of imperfect people that when we get married our partner will be better than ourselves will not be successful. A couple like this is fake. How can one survive in a relationship when they have the thought that to be in a relationship, their partner must be perfect?
It will not survive once the other makes a mistake. We are fallen being s in an unideal world. The thinking that the other must be better is not related to God. The partner must always be in a position lower than 'I'?
Let's look at why.
Since the world is imperfect, we start from a point of recreation. This means that a fallen being will be restored to its original position before God through investing themselves so much that their partner is moved and they themselves will invest in recreating themselves to become a partner of value. God created heaven and earth in order to love with heart at the base.
Therefore, in order to restore the foundation of the ideal world, our actions must be guided by our heart. Even though in the world of heart Adam and Eve may seem to have a small heart, but it is actually big.
Man And Woman Are Created In Relation To Each Other
Human beings are either man or woman. "I" am an extension of Adam and Eve who are created by God. When we say "human being," substance already exists in there. How many kinds of things are included in "human being"? Such things reside in the earth, in human beings and in God.
When we look from God's viewpoint and not fallen man, all people of creation are actually beautiful. Therefore heaven will punish a person that makes fun the way a man looks or looks down upon a woman with big hips. That is not looking the true way.
No matter how seemingly ugly, that man or woman is the Creator's greatest masterpiece.
It is better for a man and more handsome when he wears a mustache. There are times when growing a beard is good when one is playing around.
The Japanese make gardens and trim them into all kinds of shapes, but Americans grow their gardens wild and natural. Americans love natural things not artificial things. If you like the natural way which is principle, in the future they may start paying people to grow their natural beards.
God saw how Adam's beard did not make Him feel good so he created Eve without a beard but with soft smooth skin.
What is the greatest masterpiece in all of creation?
It is the woman. Women might be excited to hear this. For whom are women masterpieces? For men. You cannot help that it makes you feel good.
A soft and tender woman likes a strong man. That's how it is. If there still is a woman who likes the kind of man who has skin like woman, she should be dead! And if there is a man who likes a woman who is as rough and awkward as a man, that man should be dead!
God made these masterpieces to receive a rare stimulation. Men and women complement one another. Women are soft and tender and men are rough and tough. Therefore, a rough strong man is best suited for a soft woman. Think about it logically.
A man has strong hands like concrete floor. Is this kind of texture great to hold with another strong hand? Have you ever noticed that you are not sensitive to your own touch and you cannot tickle yourself. What kind of stimulation would a soft woman's hand feel against a rough man's hand?
Everything in the universe is created to be in harmony.
When looking at a motor you see the turning armature, the solid metal, but there is a stationary contact surface made of soft, flat brass. This kind of arrangement does not wear out easily. But if this piece was made of steel, each time the motor turned, the more deterioration grinding with sparks. The law of heaven and earth has all things relate in a reciprocal relationship.
Through this law, we can see that God is a professional.
Which seems to have more stimulation? A strong man putting his hand over another strong man's hand or placing a woman's hand over his? The natural law of the universe has the soft and the hard come into one. If they are not, neither is complete.
"If a man's hand is over another man's hand, he should feel really bad, but if a woman's hand comes and touches him, he should feel good. If that does not happen, it means the law of the universe is not applied."
This is why it is natural for a woman's hand to be soft and a man's hand to be thick and heavy. Men have a beard that stimulates a soft surface. What if God placed mustaches on both men and women, what purpose does this serve? Then, we can conclude that it is good that a man was born and look like a man and a woman born to look like a woman.
