Love Nation, World, Humankind = World Peace

Just like God, love is not flat.  Once you are united with God in oneness, a circular motion manifests in all kinds of forms and figures.

This is why the older sibling must love the younger by following the examples of their parents who love them as well.

Love will blossom within a family that is united in this way.

That love becomes the love within a society and then the love within a nation.  In this this expansion of heart, it will later become the love of the whole world.  This is how world peace will be established - through the family.








Love of the Nation, Love of the World, and Love of Humankind








When you look at the world it is composed of many nations. Nations are composed of societies.  Societies are made of of tribes.

These tribes are made up of families which are two individuals coming together.

Those who sacrifice their lives to live for the public purpose of humankind will come together centering on their love for humankind.

Likewise, have a love for their homeland, they will unite based on patriotic ideas.

As their patriotic feelings grow stronger, the citizens will unite through their patriotism in order to establish a nation.

You must build relationship and gather people of like mind together once you know you have the responsibility to work on the patriotic movement. 










The base where genuine love can settle down is the family.










Therefore, the original family that embodies the love of the universe will expand the domain of love in the universe and be protected by the universe.

We should go beyond the family level and walk the patriotic path of loving the nation.  Furthermore, we must go beyond race and nation and go toward the path of loving the world.

Those who love their family are children of filial piety and virtuous wives.  Those who love their nation are patriots.  What do we call those who love the world?  We call them saints.




The path of children of filial piety, patriots, saints, and divine sons and daughters


How do you become a global figure?

You cannot become one by just human morality or making people your central concern.

If you are only concerned with human beings, then you will not be able to go beyond the national level.

It is that which is of heaven that will enable you to step beyond the national level.

If you do not have a philosophy that embraces heaven and earth, then you cannot go beyond the national level.

If you look at the ranks of the saints, they revered God or did they not revere him?  Is there any saint that did not have God?  They all upheld God's will as their standard way of living.

Thus, the saints have spoken about God tremendously, not just about humankind.  Moreover, the saints have taught not only the way of morality, but the path of the heavenly law.

Children of filial piety serve and love their parents in a family.  Those who serve and love the nation are patriot.

Those who love the world are saints.


Then, what is it that I teach? It is to be a divine son or daughter who loves God, the world, and the universe. Which will you be? Will you be a divine son or daughter, or a dutiful son or daughter? 



Love is the essence that moves reality.

It cannot be omitted from daily life or from history.  Love provides the internal power which moves everything from a parent's body to our social institutions.

This is why, when you are educated, you are taught to love your country. You are taught, brotherly love, parental love, conjugal love and worldwide philanthropy of your country.

All of these contain love.

What does this mean?  It means that we cannot connect to history without including love which is the realm of people's daily lives and the course of history.

What do you have to become?

You must become a patriot.  A patriot devotes one's effort to serve the people as they would serve the nation's ruler.  What is a child of filial piety?  They are those who devote all their efforts toward their parents.

Those who devote themselves to their brothers and sisters as they would serve their parents are children of filial piety.

Saints are people who have sacrificed themselves until now and died for the sake of all humankind.

What is a divine son or daughter?  Those who reach out to the world centering on God and serve mankind as they would serve God are divine sons and daughters.

Historical saints are those who have died for the sake of the people of the world.  Divine sons and daughters are loyal to God, but as they live for God they also live for the sake of all people.  Being a saint does not make you a divine son and daughter or God's child.

What is next level after you become a child of filial piety, a patriot and a saint?  No matter how much you have loved the nation's ruler and its people, you have to know the laws of the heavenly royal palace to be a divine son and daughter.  You have to live in the rhythm with the palace law.

A filial child's heart goes straight to his parents without changing.

The same goes for the patriot whose heart goes straight to the king.  The saint, likewise, has a heart that goes straight toward God without changing.

In other words, you can be a child of filial piety, a patriot and saint only when your heart goes straight without changing even in a situation where you may face death.

A filial child serves and loves the parents in the family.  The one who serves and loves the country is the patriot and the one who serves and loves the world is the saint.








You should be divine sons and daughters who love the world and universe. 









Once you have such a broaden love, you must have as much love as God.

The child of filial piety lives on even when his household perishes.  This is why there are epitaphs of children of filial piety, patriot and saints.

Divine sons and daughters are people who know how to observe not only national laws, but also the laws of the heavenly royal palace.

Thus, that which can connect straight to the path of children of filial piety, patriots and the path of saints is the path of the divine sons and daughters.

Our life course can be condensed into the life paths walked by filial children, patriots, saints and divine sons and daughters.

Would they be paths driven by the heart of wanting to be together and live together regardless of the upper and the lower, transcending front and back, left and right, and day and night, and going beyond one's own life?

This is the conclusion that has emerged.







No matter how outstanding a person may be, he is of no use if he has no love.  








Also, happiness becomes connected based on love.

The medium that connects brothers and sisters, friends, countrymen, all humankind and heaven on earth is love.  Love is like yeast.

God created the universe and established its law.  What kind of being is He?

He is the Being who stands as the representative caring for others more than anyone else.  This is God.

Therefore, if you want to meet God, you have to live for the sake of others.  God is the king of knowledge, but he will not tell you to come to Him with knowledge.

Although He is the king of capability, He would not tell you to approach Him with capability.

God is the king of money, power and knowledge, He does not need these things.

God would tell you that anyone can come to Him that lives for the sake of others.  God exists in front of human beings for their own sake.

This is why we want to follow God forever.  If you want to maintain your own position of existence living within the natural law, you must exist for the sake of others as the universe does.

Through serving others, you connect to the East and the West, and to the past and the present.  God has the same love in the past that He has now in the present.

God can overcome the East and the West and overcome the past and the present, and even the future. Therefore He is able to unify them into one.  How is He able to do this?

He unifies them only in love.
