When God made a plan to create the world, He first began from the model of a man and a woman. Evolution believes that humanity happened from chance of the smallest of cells without realizing that there was a First Cause - God.
This God has an intellect, emotion and will. Would this loving God want a world full of misbehaving entities or one that centered on His own love and characteristics?
We understand that somewhere in history, the line of love between God's direct blood lineage has been severed. In order to return to God, we must deny our fallen birth and blood lineage and make a new relationship with God.
We cannot return this world into a peaceful one without going back to the origin. In other words, in order to be reborn from this fallen dead world, we have to return our life and center it on God and become resurrected. Being reborn is not the conclusion where many religions may stop.
We then must go through a growth period to reach the perfection level where God resides.
During this growth period, it is a time where we restore what has been lost through indemnity conditions or what we call redemption. It is the individual's responsibility to make an indemnity condition to return what is rightfully God's back to its original position. This is not just on the individudal level, but is the national mission and world mission together at the same time.
As one comes closer to the truth of God's will more and more, one is awakened to how our bodies have become dirty through Satan. We feel like burning off any part of our fallen body and cut off the filthy blood of Satan that flows through our body that causes us to do what we wish not to do.
When we realize our body is filled with sin and is our enemy, we feel like throwing away our hands, feet and even our whole body which is used by Satan.
Those who wish to believe that they are great and perfect and want to preserve their sinful, fallen selves through the ego are not very smart.
Since humans cannot remain dead in this state, we need to set up conditions which God can grab onto to eliminate our past relating with Satan.
This is different from the theory that, just by believing in God and the Messiah that all our sins fall away, yet we still bore children of sin. Once we recognize there is a method to make the indemnity condition and it is not just by faith but through putting faith into action will we become perfected and closer to God.
There is no business in the world as great as that. In the Bible it says, "What good is it if you gain the whole world and lose your life?" Life is that precious. We must know the correct method for the indemnity condition, which results in your own precious life.
The way to restore oneself is to pay indemnity by going the opposite way of what occurred at the Fall. Also, by going where Satan and evil cannot follow. Evil cannot be humble, follow their conscience or sacrifice for love. This is why saints and religious founders in the past recognized the importance of practicing this method of faith daily in order to have a clear mind and become closer in oneness to God.
Teacher established all the historical indemnity conditions, then he won victory. It should not be a problem even if Satan attacks with all of his methods and ways, as Satan has done to goodness until now.
When it gets tough, we can imagine using the same method that Stalin used to liquidate all religious people and use it against Satan when we carry out maneuvers. Teacher even has that side.
Perfection does not happen automatically but is established through indemnity.
What does it mean to be perfected? We falsely have grown to believe that it means a person who doesn't make mistakes and obtains knowledge without learning it first. This is superficial definition. We obtain perfection when we unite our conscience which is close to God and subdue our body. This brings us a clear path to lead a life centered on God without falling prey to Satan's traps and temptations. This being is said to have restored themselves and are perfected.
No matter how great a person is in the fallen world, they absolutely are unable to perfect themselves without going over the hills of indemnity condition. Self-perfection is accomplished through the perfection of indemnity.
God thinks of this perfection of the individual self as restoration of the self. Perfection of indemnity could be called the perfection of restoration. That is why it is restoration through indemnity. Therefore, we can never separate these two words: indemnity and restoration.
When we say "perfection through indemnity," it means "indemnity for restoration."
Centering on perfection, reach perfection through the course of restoration through indemnity. After indemnity, then restoration. After being restored, then go the way of perfection. Therefore, you can think of indemnity and restoration as one.
The Indemnity Condition Has To Be Established By Myself
What was lost due to the fall?
First when Adam and Eve made love before the time of maturity, the angelic world and God were chased out of the human world and then we lost the world of all things in creation. Next, the indiviidual, family, clan, nation and world foundational base were lost through Adam and Eve choosing Satan's words over God's.
Who has the responsibility for that?
The responsibility to reverse this mistake does not belong to God, the angelic world or creation. It is human responsibility. We must take responsibility for this tragedy and go the course of reversing this mistake.
Humanity will not be able to go this path alone, but with the help of the spirit world. God created the angelic world before He created human beings. The angels helped God create all things and through all things as material.
Because human beings caused the disruption and broke away from God's way, man must restore through indemnity or pay back condition. Since the first parents became fallen parents, we must establish a True Parent to indemnify the past or else, we have no hope of returning our lineage back to God. Thus, the one who can resolve the mistake in the Garden of Eden is the True Parent centered on God holding God's blood lineage.
The Principle is that the one who committed the sin should indemnify it.
Indemnity conditions must be established by your own self. Another person cannot substitute for you. The fall means the loss of the authority of subjectivity. In restoration, no matter who interferes, you must be confident of yourself and go with the clear subjectivity.
When we find the True Parent, we will not be able to compare their value to ten million dollars or even billions of lives.
When we find the True Parents in the Last Days, we should want to follow with our own life the traditions they set to reverse the Fall.
Jesus said, "Those who want to live will die and those who want to die will live," because that describes the way, the beginning point of restoration through indemnity.
No matter where others are going, I must be busy going my way. At night, there is no time to sleep, there is no time to find a place to sit comfortably and eat a meal. Without having a heart this serious, you cannot go the way of restoration.
In Order To Eliminate The Satanic Sovereignty
When we allow something we do to lay a condition for Satan to invade our lives, it is evil.
What is sin?
Whatever you do, say or any content you have that allows Satan to attack is sin.
Therefore, Christians more than anyone must clearly know the root of sin. Evil is Satan himself, needless to say, and in Eve evil starts with, "Let me be the subject, let me be the center." God's original principle of creation is, "Live for the other (spouse)," while "Live for myself" is the satanic fallen nature.
What is the origin of good and evil?
Many people wrongly theorize that evil always existed and is part of creation. This is not true. Humanity left its position due to the Fall. In order to fix this broken past, we must return to the path of the Principle that existed before we broke down. Then we must go through the course of recreation in order to become one with the principle of creation.
Evil people say that we should live for myself; God and Jesus want to break down this evil tradition. This is why Jesus taught us to fight our arrogance and live for and serve others. By going the opposite way of evil, we are doing the work of restoration.
Eve was motivated that someone else exist to invest in her, not that she exist to invest in others. If she thought about Adam, she would have not tempted him. This is why religions teach to sacrifice the self for others. We must do the opposite from the world and invest in others.
After the fall of Adam and Eve, what kind of illness did the human race contract?
You have heard of lovesickness? Through the sickness of love, we could not connect to God's true blood lineage and the blood lineage of Satan has multiplied. This illness was infused from Satan's blood and bore satanic children through his blood lineage. Where did this sickness directly begin?
It first began with the thinking of one self and centering on oneself and leaving God out. By denying God's words and order and centering on oneself, the sickness of the fall was born and has continued throughout history centering on selfishness.
In order to heal and reverse this matter, we must deny ourselves and live absolutely centering on God leaving our own thinking out.
If the archangel, Adam and Eve, were hoping centering on God, they would not have fallen but would have established the ideal world.
Heaven is where we live a life attending God absolutely and make the relation of love through Him. God has been leading this providence of restoring the past and straightening out this origin. When you are too proud of your fallen self, this cannot happen. You will not be able to separate from what holds you back from returning fully back to God.
We must have a God-centered living if we want to begin to come out of the self-centered, fallen sovereignty we currently witness in the world. There is no other way to separated from this self-centered, satanic world. We all must take this way inevitably.
While you are doing witnessing or business activities, do you ever happen to say, "It is too hard and I can not do this"? That cannot be God-centered but is centered on your own self.
In light of this principle, if you complain while you are doing mission work, and deny the work, you must know clearly that your work is unqualified. He who works the Godly missions centering upon himself will complain within a short time when hardship comes. He will claim that all the work he has done in the church is his own.
The way I must go might be difficult, but I must think: God is going in front of me, my friends are beside me, and our brothers and sisters are there. Also, we must think that the fate of all humankind's future remains in front of us. I must think that I will go until I give my life. By having this thinking, you can overcome the self-centered fallen standard.
Not me centered; by thinking centered on God, you can overcome the fallen sovereignty. During our most difficult times mean we are kicking out the most difficult fallen sovereignty and getting closer to the day of liberation.
The Fall brought us into a horrific place of death and sadness. In order to return to God, we must run into this place of death with a joyful heart as a real man and woman. Every human must go through this fate no matter what.
As more people do the will of God, the world will go in a new direction.
In your heart, do you have the faith to go beyond the limit of life and death?
The author of the Divine Principle speaks on this point:
"Teacher has been watching many dozens, many hundreds, many thousands, many tens of thousands of life and death situations, and has fought with Satan. Although the countless situations of difficulties come like waves, the goal that Teacher made has not changed.
Even if my legs are broken or my eyes are popped out or my neck is being cut, I do not change from the beginning point of determination. Therefore, I'm victorious as long as I'm alive.
How could we get out of the love of the fallen sovereignty and the blood lineage of the satanic sovereignty? Whenever you think about only yourself and loving yourself. Satan can take you away.
If I do the opposite, denying myself and thinking centered on God, and live this way, Satan cannot manage me and God abides in and manages me. By doing this, you can be liberated from the archangel in the satanic world. From the position of fallen archangel you can climb to the unfallen archangel's position." SMM
Adam fell away from God on the individual level because he was the center of the whole and he must restore the world and turn them to the right direction. This restoration process does not all at once, but stage by stage. First the position of individual, the family environment, clan, nation and world then the cosmic environments must be restored.
All together there are eight stages or levels which we must pass through. When we solve these problems, human beings who are looking for the ideal world will be able to freely meet with God who is the subject of love.
While doing that, if some level is blocked, one may pass the lower levels but one cannot pass the level above. That means that one cannot continue on the way to be one with God.
If you are only able to reach a certain level of restoration and your path is blocked, you will be able to go freely to the lower levels you have conquered, but you will not be allowed to pass the levels above. This means that you cannot continue the path to connect directly to God.
You will get help from spirit people on that level, but you will not be able to communicate with God. God worries about fallen men and women and how we can expand the environment from the individual level to Him that allows us to directly communicate with Him. God did not have these worries before the Fall and Adam and Eve were talking directly with Him.
Absolute denial must be established in the beginning on the individual, then to the family, clan, society, nation world, cosmos and ultimately to God. This is how the world of peace will come about. Are we as a society exhibiting a life of denial and living for others? How about the individual or family. Without the sacrifice of one own's thinking, a world of peace will never come about.\
Then the eight levels are completed and connected to the ideal direction. Level by level, unless we pass through the course of denial, we cannot be connected to God.
One who desires the absolutely unique subject must fulfill the condition by denying reality.
Men and women fell through taking the orders of the archangel. In order to reverse this past we must deny ourselves first. When we pursue the absolute subject, God, we must do so through the position of absolute denial. This is what every major religion teaches.
God appears in front of an unfallen Adam and Eve. This is where we find God. Each of us must return to the position of sinless Adam and Eve before the fall. This tradition begins with unfall True Parents where we can make a true individual, true family, clan, nation and true world.
World peace begins with the unfallen Adam and Eve who become True Parents.
The Divine Principle is the only thought that makes this claim. To reach this level of perfection, we must go through the opposite side from the fall. Our indemnity course naturally appears for us fallen people and we must each overcome this fallen past. Without overcoming our ancestor's past, we cannot go back to the origin of a sinless Adam and Eve. How can we restore the eight stages? We begin with a clear ideology that gives us God's direction.
