The Nobility of Life on Earth

We all know the tale about the beginning of the world from the creation of light to the first breath of the human being from the earth.  But we have taken these Bible verses themselves in the wrong context.

The Bible account of God creating the world shows that God said the world was good after creating Adam and Eve.

It was the same as placing His signature after the completion of a project. This means that it was the way He had wanted the world to be.

At that time Heaven and Earth were not separated and evil did not exist.

Therefore, God intended that humanity would not fight among themselves and that we would not be separated from the spiritual world or heaven.

Instead, humanity has inherited a mind and body that fights for the number one position - to be subject the human.  Therefore, God created religion to teach us to strike our body and make it submit to the direction of our good mind.

We must cross over from the evil realm into goodness.

The complete victory of our body means that Satan will be completely extinguished and uprooted from our bodies and life.

That day of victory has been fought for by thousands of saints, sages and people of faith.

We will finally subjugate Satan.  We can only go to heaven through conquering Satan.

We are unable to conquer Satan once we pass on to the next world.  The evils that are bound here on earth will also be bound in heaven.

The original world, earth and heaven would be one in the same.

This means that we would be able to see a person who passed into the spirit world because this was God's original plan.  There would have been no earthquakes, floods and such if we just obey our creator's word over the evil one.

Because of the Fall where we separated from heaven and God while on earth, the problem of sin must be remedied while we have a body on earth.

Therefore, we cannot subjugate Satan without a physical body.

If we do not accomplish our designated tasks while on the earth where the problems were created, then we will end up in eternal hell.

On the other hand, when you triumph on earth and stand on the heavenly side of goodness, you can go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Life on earth is to prepare us for life in the spirit world

You must understand how short a time we have on earth compared to the eternal life that awaits us.

Which would be more fruitful to sacrifice for: the world of the temporary here and now, or the one that will last unto eternity?

Once you realize this fact, your hours become precious when not spent as much on eating and sleeping and worrying about the temporal.

The more you live realizing each moment is precious and live it for other's sake, the more the blessing you will receive - more than anyone else in the whole wide world.

Even though we have a limited time on earth of possibly eighty to a hundred years, our possessions which represent the creation, thus, belong to the world.  Can you assert that you will be able to take your possessions or any notoriety into the next world?

Our bodies are the bodies of all the people of the world, and our minds are the minds of all the people of the world.  All of these combine to make an altar before God. Such a heart that lives this way is one with God.

Things do not happen by chance. Preparation is never easy. 

When we look at a life as a whole, we see that childhood is the time to prepare for adolescence, the prime of our life is to prepare for old age, which in turn is the time to prepare to go to the spirit world.

Therefore, we can see that our life is a training course that prepares us to acquire an universal personality.

We live in this world; yet it is not the only world that exists. 

We live on earth, but our spirit bodies live in the spirit world at the same time.

That is right.  As you are sitting and reading this, your spiritual body is interacting with the spirit world of spirit even though you live on the solid earth.

The world of spirit should be integrated together rather than in two separate worlds which was caused by the disobedience of our first ancestors.

Where do we go and live for eternity after the shedding of our bodies?

While living physically on earth, we proceed into the eternal world.

Ordinarily, people are born into this world, go through the time of youth, reach their prime and then enter old age.

Life passes like the setting sun.

Those who know the reality of the spirit world know that their lifetime is but a fleeting moment compared to eternal life after death.

Knowing this, our lifetime prepares us to welcome the world of eternity with God.

A student's performance is measured by the schools set standards based on the credits they are expected to take in an academic year.

If students do not get a high grade, they fail in accordance with the standard of merit which the school sets.

Everything can be measured by means of some norm.

Life on the physical world is parallel to the period which we prepare ourselves to meet the standard of 'credits' throughout life.

During our lifetime, we are ever striving to accumulate achievements.  The measure stick determines to what extent we have been able to fulfill our responsibility.

Do not do the hard task of digesting problems for just your own sake, rather for the sake of God, your nation, tribe, family and spouse.

Self-centered living is fraught with worries.

Conversely, if you constantly devote yourself to the welfare of others to the point you empty yourself out, you become a vacuum, and the truth will come into you.

Our pride is we have true love and secondly, we have True Parents who have reversed the mistake of the fall of the first false parents Adam and Eve.

We are the only ones to have this term, it is not in the dictionary.  Third is true children and fourth is a true tribe.  These relate to the four main goals of life of faith.

The preciousness of our life on earth

If you are liberated, God will be liberated.

Also, if your family is liberated, so is the heavenly family. It is the same with earth and heaven.  Accordingly,  the biblical statement, "Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven," refers to being able to liberate problems while on earth or wasting your life and keeping the problems which will stay with you when you get to heaven.

We must truly understand the preciousness of life on earth where you can make use of your body to restore back to its original God-given nature.

Our body gives us the opportunity to resurrect God and the universe and to unite the world.

God and the creation as a whole can never be exchanged for the value of life on earth.

Because if humankind did not exist physically on earth, God and the universe would be incomplete.

We must realize how precious the body is.

We cannot trade our physical selves even for the universe.  The biblical verse speaks about using your time on earth wisely, "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his eternal life?

What can a man give in exchange for his life?"

What has equal value to a human life?  Right now, it seems like material goods such as phones and sneakers have taken over the value of a human life.

The average lifespan does not exceed hundred years.

Within that short time which has been allotted to us, we must grip the historical realms of goodness which were entangled in history.

When we see the realm of goodness we are suppose to bond with during our time on earth, our mind and conscience must move forward to align to that standard.

Once we die and pass to the spirit world, we cannot do the work of restoring ourselves without the aid of a person who possesses a  physical body.

It may be difficult to get rid of a sin or a habit on earth and it is even 10, 000 times difficult once it is bound to you after death.

We can find the original homeland of God and serve the heavenly sovereignty and live in His nation, then we can enter God's Kingdom of heaven.

The spirit world is infinite and eternal.

How should we manage how we live in order to live in the heavenly realm?

We must put our life in order while we still have a physical body, once we enter spirit world, there is no opportunity to straighten things out.

A self-centered way of restoration does not exist, if so, then suffering would not exist.  Even a millenia from now, God's principle is the one and only way to go to heaven.

Those failing to fulfill in this way during their lifetimes, will have to make up for it in the spirit world which can take thousands of years.

Imagine if someone had a problem with women or killing people with words, they get anger management classes or go to AA meetings and still struggle.  It is thousands of times harder to rid a sin in spirit world as restoration only takes place through a human body.

Habitually doing things in life is important

Let us make a pledge today to renounce the awful habits of the satanic world and usher in God's new order centered on the sake of living for others.

It is very difficult to break a habit.  While we live in the satanic world now, you have come to enjoy self-centered habits, living individually for only yourself and your small circle of family and friends.

These habits harden like cement attaching to the body, becoming even more deeply ingrained into our lives more than any addiction such as cigarette smoking.  Continuously interrupting and hating people

Since the devil has emerged, our habits have become very deeply rooted in our lives.  Even if we want to stop a certain behavior, it takes much effort to do so.

How will we be able to eradicate these hardcore habits we've acquired?                                                                                              
No matter how deep you dig a pit, you still cannot get to the root of this serious problem.

In order to go to heaven, you need to replace all your bad habits with God-centered habits.

The standard of life on earth

My life is for the sake of God and the world. Do not think of living for yourselves. Live for God, True Parents and humanity. True love is indispensable for you in forming a four-position foundation with God, True Parents and humanity. They all desire true love. You should become people who can inherit this true universe centered on true love. We need to bear this in mind constantly.


We, therefore, should evaluate how much we have lived conformed to the heavenly standard until now.

You should become people who represent humanity, the True Parents and God.

If you are able to live this way, you will not be restricted by borderlines and will be able to move freely between the spirit world and anywhere on earth. This is closer to the ideal of Heaven on earth which God envisioned in the beginning.

If you wish to dine with a thousand friends, such an experience is possible in the world of love.

When God exercised His power as the Creator, He did centered on love.  In the spirit world, once you connect with true love, you are able to regulate and create everything.

This is our ideal hometown.  Unless you make a connection with true love, everything will be in vain.

Everything will be recorded through the physical body

If you lived two-thirds of your life in an unspeakably miserable position, will you be able to erase that?

You cannot.  These experience stay with you.  In order to restore the problems and sins of the past, we need indemnity. Indemnity or redemption is how we pay back for a wrong done. Restoration is also re-creation.

You should leave behind a life of value. 

Some people want to enjoy themselves and have a good time. They say that they will believe in Jesus when they get older so when they die they can go to heaven.

But it is more difficult to change bad behavior or habits the older one gets.  Therefore, the younger the better: it is more valuable to know the truth when you are fifteen rather than twenty.  It is even more so to grow up knowing the truth from infancy.

Is the water that is inside your bodies, pure or dirty?

After a heavy seasonal rainfall, rivers and streams become dirty, likewise you are full of all kind of impurities.

Thus, you need to go through the stirring and straining process like a filtration system.

We should not become egoistical, otherwise we build a blockage.

If our bodies accumulate excessive dirt, then even the filter can be clogged up and the water will be unable to flow completely.

Did you know that you would be inspected with a system like an X-ray machine when you go to the spirit world?

God needs people that have already passed through the filtration system.

Life on earth is so important

If you are unable to fulfill your responsibilities while on earth, you will enter a probation realm in the spirit world where you will live for some millennia.

You go to the place in spirit world which is consistent to the level which you stay for a long time.

Then your ancestors and your sons and daughters will come to you and accuse you why did you live a certain way when you could have lived better.  The time you spend in that place depends on the level you have accomplished while on earth.

This is not an easy task, this is why you have to do everything through the Principle while on earth.

A bolt requires an matching nut in order for it be fastened properly.  Only when the nut fits can it be fastened, understand?  This is the same with your life and activities on earth and the different levels in spirit world.

How important is life on this earth?

It is just a spark of a moment that comes only once when compared to eternity. This moment is insignificant, therefore, you have to go beyond your physical life and prepare for the spirit world.

You must always be able to control and conquer everything by standing in the center upholding the standard of the Principle.  Without being able to do so, you cannot achieve individual perfection.

Using our physical selves to fulfill our portion of responsibility

You should think about God and the standard of  True Parents in your daily life.

By doings so, your mind and body can stand within a harmonious, stable and fulfilled sphere of love.

Those who are able to live in such a realm of love, naturally do the same in the spirit world.  The level of the expansion of your internal life will come out on the surface in the spirit world.

God and human beings are like one cell of the body since our love is internalized.

The spirit world is the world, where you become one of those cells, where God will come inside your heart.

When you call out, "God!", He will surely answer in your heart, "What is it?"  In other words, spirit world is the world, where you live with God unlimited by the body for eternity.

Therefore, your responsibility while on earth is very important.

That is why I established the principle of the portions of responsibility for restoration. Whenever you look at yourself in the mirror in the morning, you should consider how you, as a man or woman, are going to fulfill your portion of responsibility. It is a serious matter.


All five senses are enraptured in the love which is gained after accomplishing your portion of responsibility.

All your senses operate within a substantial realm of love.

What should you do to accomplish your portion of responsibility?  What do you do to become such people?

You should be able to stand in a position to deny everything that was born of the satanic world of emotional ties with Satan.

We live in a world where the lines are blurred of what is good, godly behavior and what is satanic.  We should learn what behaviors draws us closer to God.

What happens once a person passes to the spirit world?

He becomes God's body.  Adam becomes God's body once he unites with God.  This is what Jesus meant when he said, "The Father is in me."  This does not mean that they were one being, but they had become united through Jesus becoming perfected in God's love.

First Corinthians, "Do you know that you are Father's temple," confirms that the body is the holy temple where God is suppose to dwell.  Our body is meant to be God's house, not a house for Satan's deceitful deeds and behaviors.

How can one come to resemble God?

When you are able to reach the stage where you complete your portion of responsibility, then God dwells within you, creating a oneness between you and God.
