"There is no proper arrangement for the words of Father's speech. You cannot find this arrangement in the dictionary. But love imagination perspective makes acute sense for our life. It is Unification terminology."
Oftentimes we will see someone bearing a Chinese character for the beauty of its appearance without knowing the meaning or creating no meaning at all when coupled with a non-related character.
The author of the Divine Principle who was born in Korea speaks more on this topic of Korean characters in relation to the language of Love:
"As you know the oriental language is symbolic. The characters are actually pictures that explain what they mean. In English, the letters L O V E in themselves do not mean anything.
But the character for the word love in Korean has lines and shapes representing heaven, the three stages, a house (meaning embraced by) and mind and other lines representing the original two people.
All these concepts come together to make one word, love. This is very revealing. A revelatory character. "Heaven" is written with the sign for two persons. "Righteous" means "sheep like myself". "Goodness" also has a sheep and two people who support each other. Each word itself teaches us something.
Love Imagination
You cannot omit even one stroke in the word "love" and feel that it is right. What about the character for "imagination?" It is a tree. Man resembles a tree more than he resembles grass. A tree always grows to be round. The shape starts out long but altogether has a round effect with the leaves and branches.
The history of a tree very much resembles the history of man.
It starts from a root, then the trunk starts growing, and then the branches and leaves. Man is the same but inverted. His roots are up in heaven with the leaves reaching to the ground. We do not exist haphazardly, but in a balanced way.
A tree has water and man has blood. Blood and love is what makes us go.
Love is an important ingredient of life leading us to bear fruit. We love with the result or the fruit in mind. Synthesis, division and synthesis is the process. Man and woman are brought together with love to bear fruit.
We unite and divide for the sake of love. All functions are for love. Communists take the same way but explain it as unity and antagonism. But antagonized beings can never come together to unite again.
In love we do not make so much noise.
All five senses go numb in love. Only love is active in every cell. Unless we can explain human life like this, we cannot explain who we are.
We embrace with our eyes closed. If you don't, you are either a spy or not really in love. That spy can only represent evil existing to hurt their partner. It is a simple explanation, but is half of what human beings are.
What about Moonies?
Do we keep our eyes open when we think about serious things? No, we meditate with our eyes closed. If you hate someone you keep your eyes open. Antagonism does not bring fruit. A crucial concept is the understanding of unity, division and synthesis.
Through it we can explain humanity. The Korean character for "tree" looks like a cross with a man next to it. There are vertical and horizontal lines. The eyes represent three stages meaning we see in three stages or in total.
No one knows how these characters were developed. But when Father analyzes them they fit completely. If you draw two big persons and two small persons, it looks like a family. Next to the tree are lots of eyes. These characters combined together mean "imagination".
"Thought" the Korean character is two words. Vertical and horizontal lines together. This shows a mind that can reach all four directions.
Other languages based only on phonetics cannot compare with this. Compare the characteristics of oriental and western minds. Westerners are concrete. They want to take everything apart. Orientals are deep in thought, embracing and more round.
If you meet three different westerners you can predict exactly what they will be like. They are all very similar. In the orient people are all different. Westerners are simple and easy to fathom, but not Orientals.
Now the west is coming to search for the east, but not so much the other way around. The Orientals already know what they can gain from the west.
White people represent the north pole and blacks represent the south pole.
For whites to reach the warm climate they must embrace the other extreme.
The twentieth century is a warm climate civilization. England and Asia are in moderate climate zones. Without embracing blacks, whites cannot stay in the warm climate. Even the sun moves, it does not stay in just one place.
The law of the universe is that there are four season. It does not matter if you like them or not, they still come. God likes them that way.
Western civilization is in an "exhaling" time in history. Next is the "inhaling" time, the time of embracing. Exhaling means giving everything away. We have exhaled everything and are now in a deadlock. There is nothing left.
Which way should we go?
Next, the inhaling time comes to draw all back in. So western people should not refuse to go the other way now. If white people say "I do not like Koreans, Reverend Moon or black people, they cannot continue. The wise man will want to quickly inhale as much as possible. Moonies are like that."SMM
We are being shown that this is the time for embracing all races, cultures, religions and countries. Whether the white people with a history of dominating and intolerance for differences like it or not they cannot stop history from going forward.
Reverend Moon teaches which direction history should go away from the fallen historical problems of the world and help others to become just as healthy and prosperous. Those who follow his teachings always feel good and have hope for a bright future full of peace.
When people listen to any of his speeches they cannot deny this is true.
We cannot embrace just what we like. We have to embrace everything. With eyes of love we can see that everything is so precious. We do not want to miss even one hair on a person's head!
A small grasping American hand cannot grab Father. It takes a big net and would be like catching the whole world.
We have to embrace everything with the eyes of love and we will see that all is precious. When we embrace, we do not even want to miss one strand of hair on a person's head. This is how God loves.
God spent 4,000 years preparing the Israelites to accept Jesus Christ and prepare a land and people for his coming. Since Jesus' mission was left incomplete, God prepared America as the second Israel.
When we look at the history and foundation of America, we see it was built upon sacrifice and the word of God. Then America began to turn toward an individualistic country losing its vigor for God and its people. Americans still do sacrifice, but only in one direction. Now all three directions of the world are coming against America saying they do not want to deal with them.
Those who sacrifice for God may be kicked down. Father has been kicked from behind by all people so he had determination to advance. Those who oppose those of faith cannot move forward, so they must kick the enemy forward.
All devices have been used to kick Reverend Moon down from his heavenly mission of bringing about the mission of the Messiah and the Completed Testament Age. Arrows and bullets have been used to try to stop him from victory.
"He has scars everywhere, but still no arrow could penetrate. Father feels like he is an entity on display in a museum entitled "The Most Attacked Human Being". He endured that for the sake of God in order to represent God and His ideal and to create a God-loving world."
God cannot stay away from such a museum. He wants to visit such a man. All of spirit world follows God's way, so they too are concerned for Rev. Moon's situation. Then all of the world will be paying attention to the teachings of Father because all of spirit world is in which we are connected.
If we are rich and well established we should next humble ourselves.
But if we as Americans do not undertake this task, we will repeat the downfall of the Romans and Sodom and Gomorrah that were societies that lived in decadence and fell from within its own social immorality.
Americans need to embrace all of humanity, the cosmos and even nature. Then we will be welcomed once more.
Father has already taken a long time to speak, but who is counting time? Mother is! For our sake she tells Father not to speak too long. But in love, the longer it takes the better! You do not care. So as long as Mother watches the clock with love, we love her more.
These aren't just the ideology of Rev. Moon or his words; the universe protects the righteous man forever. The universe have eyes and ears and it is sensitive and will protect you.
Reverend Moon explains the word Perspective in relation to Korean Characters:
 |
| Korean word for "love" |
Women use makeup in order to be noticed by others. We feel good if others pay attention to us. When it is with much love and respect we are even happier!
But if someone sees you and tried to lead you the wrong way and use you, you do not like them at all.
Many times the word "perspective" is abbreviated in Korean characters. People use a character that means "moon" - literally Father's family name.
The original mind of man already knew that one day we would look to Moon for the answers! This character literally says "Look at Moon". This is actually history and all humankind's terminal purpose."SMM
Father sweats from the heat, but feels good to explain this concept of love imagination(language) perspective means. Now there is enough foundation to fly, but travelling by boat, air and train is the best. Great men are said to travel on boats.
Man and Woman's Love
What is the most important element to man? Life.
It means man's and woman's life. Which one is most important? [Both.] What is the center if you say both? How can man and woman be the same?
Our parents' life started our life and we eventually return to our parents. When the parents love their children equally, then they are all the same.
The measurement of the angle has to be ninety degrees. No matter how big or how small it is, they must have the same ninety degree angle.
The women's movement began in the 1920s and exploded in the 1970s with women wanting to be equal in every facet of life. But there is a limit to this equality. We spoke about this in a previous post that no matter how much a woman protests to be exactly equal to a man, can she claim to grow a beard or stop her menses just because she doesn't like it anymore?
Man and woman were not born to compete with one another, but to be complementary to the other. If we women continue to demand to be just like a man, in a century no more children will be born. Women would soon protest, "Men don't have to go through the labor and pain of carrying a child, so why should we women, let's stop having them".
This behavior is a shame to the animal, plants and fish kingdom. There is no power in the women's movement.
Man and woman were born to come into unity. They were both born for the sake of love. Once they embrace in love, they would be able to occupy each others position and change places. In this original context of the Principle, we see that there would not be any room for competition between man and woman. This is only accomplished through love and after love has been established. There is no other explanation for the unity of man and woman.
Men were born for the sake of women and love and the reverse is also true.
Religious people say heaven and Secular humanists would say man. The democratic world stands in that position now.
How does Heaven function? Does it use power and calamity or impose its will on others? Heaven also uses the rules through love. True love reaches north, south, east and west allowing everything to be equal.
The most basic question is does God exist and what is man. We can observe the relationship between God and man. Love is the center of everything and is the origin of life itself. Only love has the ability to open up our eyes, ears and mouth in the happiest of excitement.
Why does God exist? Is it to sit on His throne forever and never move from it exalting His power and Will upon His children? Does God search for diamonds, silver and gold like humans? No, he can create those things - His search is of of a true object.
"This is the kind of time Father longs for the sea, then the breeze would be blowing and I would not be sweating. Father is so tanned, he is becoming a cousin to black people! Father will start painting his face with black paint when the winter comes.
He will visit the white blessed couples in the middle of the night, without calling them first. He will sneak in and wake you and ask for something to eat! Father will check to see what kind of person you have become."
It is normal for men to use their right hand. The universe welcomes right-handed people more than left-handed.
Why is this?
God is on the right side, so man wants to grasp heaven with the right side. Man needs his right hand to protect the woman who stands on his left. Man is always on the right side. The Oriental civilization makes clear the sense of right and left.
God and Man Living Together
In America, loving couples fight over money and famous female stars get richer through marrying and divorcing richer men.
The worst person is that who cheats on their spouse. Such a person will be accused by the universe, heaven, spouse, children and all of the spirit world. If we see that we have done this kind of thing in the past, we have to repent to God, heaven, husband, children and the entire universe.
You should ask God how He would like to live. He would answer, "I want to live with all mankind". Instead when we look at the religious world, we see that everyone only prays for their heaven, for their own blessing.
We should pray, "If the country is going to die, please take my me and my husband instead and let the country survive in our place". This is a Moonie prayer of daily sacrifice for the whole and how we become the center of this country.
This person's children will prosper. This kind of love is 10, 000 times stronger than others.
Is God the kind of God that distinguishes good and bad people and send the 'bad' ones off to prison? Even on the earthly plane, no one wants to be a judge.
All things want to follow a loving master.
God wants to live by love. If we separate from love, then we separate from God. Even a dog understands this principle by wanting his master to love him more than he loves his wife. even if they are a loving couple, when the master shows love to his wife the dog will sit on the wife's lap and share in their love.
A preacher's wife might not really want her husband to speak softly to other women, but all women want their husbands to use what is necessary to teach other people.
Any textbook Father chooses to teach a certain point is okay. We all want to be used as textbook material! Father can touch and give a kiss and for the point of teaching it is okay. Centering on love what can you not do?
If God lives for the sake of love, what does He need first? He needs an object. This is the purpose for all creation. From our standpoint, with all the different levels of creation - man, plant, and animals - God's life looks very complicated.
God created all levels of creation to work together harmoniously. Each level lives for the sake of the other level. In this way, the opposite side is the center not the 'me'. God does not even love centered on Himself.
God is the love king that dwells here to live for the sake of His love partner who is man. This is the ideal of the equalization of love. In this context, it is okay to be either a subject or an object just for the sake of love. There is no dominance, cry for equality or room for competition in this reality.
Why am I born?
We are born with love imagination perspective. I represent life and parents centering on true love. Mother represents Father and woman represents man. Do not say your life is not connected to me. God's love connects parents and children.
God had in mind that we would embrace the whole world like a radio station broadcasting love. He knew this from the beginning. He is the king of wisdom. Each created being lives for the sake of each other and thus expand the area of love. We must go the center way. We have to reach the origin.
Our conclusion is that the universe is centered on love.
There are three very important points to remember:
One is love which is most important, two is life and three is blood. The blood is the blood connecting parents and children in one lineage.
The family has a lot of value. We have everything. We have God and we have parents.
All men on earth have a family consisting of grandparents, parents and children. Our families represent all humanity past (grandparents), present (parents) and future (children). God and parents with love at the center.
We have everything. The blood lineage connects us. First we must inherit the tradition in order to go in this precious path. You should know that you always represent love, life and blood lineage. By following we gain resurrection.
Reverend Moon came to America in 1973 and he spoke about his observations of the city and the self-centered lifestyles. He said then that the country would soon began to go down, but no one believed him and said he didn't know what he was talking about.
Especially since America was the most prosperous country in the world. But now we can surely witness that America even with its wealth is diminishing and going to the bottom. There is hope it will start back up and then things can equalize on a worldwide level.
The shortest way for America to regain its vision is through true love with God on top with His vertical love going down. Reverend Moon feels like the most lonely man painfully pushing forward as he completely makes a highway all alone. But when he looks back, he sees a mountain of love accumulating that is growing bigger and bigger.
We shouldn't think that the Messiah is the only one who can go this way. This was the disciples mistake during Jesus' time.
In our mind, we can think we can go this difficult way, too, forsaking our lives to build the best foundation to bring the world back to God's bosom. Satan forced his way to dominate man's mind, but we have to gain it back naturally through love.
Even business people learn they need to go through the way of investing.
Embrace love thinking about Father and parents. We have the desire to be the best love champion by following the footsteps of our parents. Unite with your spouse centering on your mind and go forward in the parents' way.
