What Kind of Place is Spirit World?

What is the center of the spirit world and physical world? One may questions why worry about a place many people do not believe exists?

But we must be concerned about the spirit world.

There are many religions that take the path to search the world where we live eternally in relation to the spirit world.

The next world is a world where we will live eternally with God.  

This is religion;s destination and purpose.

However, do religions of today teach such a standard of living?

Religions around the world are on the decline.

We have entered the era in which people think of religion as weak and unnecessary. Or they believe that it was created by people as an idea to help in their times of troubles.

Even the central religion has declined.

America represents the Christian nations of the world. Those who grew up in Christian homes have now lost their faith and are living according to their own faith and rules outside of God will.

Heaven, the dwelling place of God, has been idealized by Christianity which is now being abandoned.  There are three reasons.

First, this is happening because they do not have a clear understanding of the existence of the life hereafter.

We favor, of course, a better situation than a bad one.

Through an innate capacity, we are ever in search of a higher dimensional realm of greater value.

This is the original human nature.  Second, it is because they do not truly know God.  Third, it is because they do not know that love is central and binds us to both God and spirit world.

These three points are not known.

Even though people of faith might know of God and the spirit world, they do not fully understand that it is a world which is centered on love.

When you are in a place of love, you will be happy whether you go up or down or stay in the middle.

Does a true wife dislike her beloved husband if he is in a higher position in society than she lives?  Does a husband dislike his beloved wife because she is in a lower position than he shares?

When you live in unity, you can go anywhere from below to above, and vice versa - even stay in the middle.  In that state, there are no restraints.

Thus, many people in the world want one unified world of peace.

This also holds true for spiritual and physical worlds and for spiritual and physical beings.

God and His love are both central to both worlds.

Fallen people on the other hand usually do not see God in this way in their mind.

Our mind and body exist in different dimensions.

The mind differs from the spirit world.

We speak of these two worlds in terms of God's love.  In order for spirit world and physical world to be united, God must be involved.

Without God's love being involved, the spirit world cannot exist.  Spirit world is linked to God.

How does our conscience differ from the spirit world?

Many people may be confused at how the mind and the spirit world differ.  They may think that the mind is in spirit.

Because of the Fall, the mind does not have anything to do with the spiritual world.

In other words, the mind of a fallen person is like a boneless body.  

This gives a realistic picture of what kind of form the mind has.

The spirit has a spirit body and a spirit mind.

It requires spiritual food in order to stay healthy and grow just like the physical body.  The spirit mind corresponds to the spiritual world.

It definitely relates to God.  Therefore, if we do not have a relationship with God, then this spirit mind will not come into being.

We must clearly understand that the spirit and mind are two different things.

Each of our fallen minds does not have a relationship with God.  

God has left that.  He cannot either relate or control our mind directly.

Your mind changes, by going one way and then it goes in another direction.  But the spiritual world and spirit beings do not.  They are able to set an eternal goal and them constantly move in that direction.  Why is this so?  Because they stand on the side of God.

Our mind that lives within each human vacillates.

What is the spirit mind?

It is the mind and the spirit uniting.

It is moving toward its new goal.  It is a motivational mind which has the ability to direct us to become our ideal selves by uniting with our conscience centered upon God.

Well, if we were not created with a spirit mind, we would not be able to search for its origin which connects us to the spirit world and to true love.

When our spirit mind sprouts, then our body experiences joy and everything follows after it.  There, everything starts to unite automatically.

Humanity's biggest problem is the separation of the mind and the body.

Our mind and body naturally become one when spiritual good energy comes into the body and creates the origin of our spirit mind.

Unless there is a revolution that occurs at the root and we discover the origin that rectifies everything from the root then there is no way to find the ideal.

How can there be result if there is not a motivating cause?

Religion's purpose is to implant within us a spirit mind.  There are several forms of religions that are centered on the spirit mind.  

Unity of the spiritual and physical worlds

If God is such a majestic being and His creation takes after His qualities, then the spiritual and physical world must be unified and not separated.

Because true love was absent, these two worlds had no substance on which to unite.

Our minds and bodies became separate; also, between religion and politics.

When we center upon love, all things become united.  This includes individuals, family, society, nation, world and cosmos can all be united.  But the work of this unification must be created with our own hands.  Otherwise, we will not be able to inherit God's original kingdom in heaven and on earth.

So, how will we be able to unify the spiritual and physical worlds?  Only through true love. Nothing else can bind the two for eternity.  Love has such a power.

The spirit world clearly exists

Unfortunately, the reality of the spirit world is not known for sure by 80% of the world's population.  Even believers, people of faith are unsure of its existence and even of God's existence.  But it is for sure there.

Without having this knowledge or ability to unify and work with the good spirit world, unification of the world is at a standstill.  We are limited at best.

We can think of a person who has a lot of money who is prepared to invest all of their assets into creating the most beautiful architectural garden of happiness.

Then we can see how God, who created the beautiful heaven and earth, created such a dwelling place.

Spirit world is such a world of beauty and depth and beyond human imagination.

One can never get tired of experiencing it or gazing upon it.  The most prized possession on earth cannot compare to even a corner of the spirit world.

Therefore, I do not want to own this earth, that is to say, I would rather go back because it does not conform to my purpose.


But, many people do not even know about or think about the world in the hereafter, and even fear such a place.  People just continue to live their life just because they were taught to follow this ungodly way.

What is the center of such a mundane lifestyle?

People are born to think that food, shelter, clothing is the most important elements of life.  These issues have become the central reason for living.

Of course, there are some elements in human relationships such as morals and morality that enable people to improve, develop and find satisfaction with one another.

But the standard of each person's morality varies, just as the races and nations.

Moral standards and social systems all vary in accordance with the world's diverse cultural backgrounds.

Because of the standards we each adopt in our lives are different from the original standard which God set forth, the existing moral and ethical standards are scattered in all directions.

These standards we have away from God's standard have not been systematized into a whole, causing much confusion and disunity among humanity.

So where are we headed?

We are not clear about this, therefore, secular people do not know whether the spirit world and God exist.

However, we are clear on the point that spirit world exists.

We not only believe it, we know it.  How?  Because since coming to the truth of the Divine Principle, you each have had spiritual experiences.  Therefore, we are in no position to deny the existence of the spirit world.

So, what path should we take?  We must follow the path which God desires.  We should follow the path of God's will, but what is His will?

There is the path of God's will that individuals must go, and the path of God's will that families must go, and also the path for the society, nation, world, and spirit world. I am the specialist. The spirit world definitely exists. 

What consequences arise from the existence of God and the spirit world?

Some people try to have nothing to do with God even though they think He exists, but this is wrong.

When we deny the spirit world and just live the worldly way, it is the same as denying the family, the nation, or the world despite if a person is a part of these.

Therefore, we desire to enter into a relationship with the greater God and the greater spirit world.  Instead of just being a part of their existence, we should strive for unity with God and spirit world.  We are moving forward toward this single purpose.

The spirit world is the driving force for faith (Saint Paul's vision of the third heaven)

Paul explains in the Bible, how he gained experience for fourteen years to see the third heaven.

After he walked a path of 14 years, he was able to know more about what he was talking about when he spoke about the third heaven.

His experience in seeing the third heaven in spirit world became the driving force which empowered him to do his missionary activities for fourteen years.  We also must have such experiences.



That also holds true for me.  I do not fear death. What made this possible? Love did. I can digest even being put in jail. Thus, I must digest and conquer today's adverse circumstances. I will conquer everything with my own hands.

When God created the spirit world

Spirit world is the equivalent to the angelic world.  The world today is in the same position as that of Adam and Eve.

God created the spirit world and angelic world before He crated His children.

Since the satanic world came to exist through our choosing to follow the archangel Lucifer's words and deeds, the spirit world also went against God's will.

Therefore, that world can only be restored after the spirit world welcomes God's will.

Also, the Lord of the Second Coming could not come to the earth until this world was able to subjugate the evil spirit world which was dominating humanity until now.

This is why we have worked until today to subjugate the spirit world and consequently, the spirit world has helped us in our mission for unification with the spirit world and physical world toward a world of peace.

Where is the spirit world?

Spirit world is in your bodies.  Therefore, you cannot escape it.

The spirit world exists.

You attend it.

Spirit world exists for this world, this world exists for the sake of the eternal world.  People may ask where is God in the world.

Some people wonder if there could be a god that exists in such an evil world.  God lives in the spirit world.

What kind of place is the spirit world?

If life only exists where we live for only eighty or hundred year on earth, then we wouldn't have to worry about problems.

But since we live eternally, this is a different story.

We have no idea how much of an unchanging world it is.

We experience racial discrimination, cultural clashes and other issues, despite these problems, we maintain values which do not pass away.  These values continue on vividly into spirit world.

Scientific advances and space exploration act like lubricants which will create the ideal world of love.

In this same way, the world is filled with the electricity of love.

There is nothing we cannot do with the electricity of love. 

We can govern the realm of spirit world through our way of thinking.

Then what is the spirit world?

It is a place that desires eternal elements.  It is the world of harmony, where everything is filled with love.

Thus, the universe gets into operative mode through just a push of a love button.

Then what is God's kingdom on earth?

Heaven is a place where all the love bulbs light up.  What about God's Kingdom on earth?  It is a place where these love bulbs light up completely.

As long as you keep a loving heart and pull the rope of love, everything else will follow.

When you pull love back, it goes back, when you pull it sideways, it moves sideways.  You can steer it however you like it.

Love does not resist, but moves automatically.

Thus, we find this concept where the spirit world is filled with the air of love.

If God's love wants to feed all of humanity at once and says in order to make them happy "Let there be food", then food will appear.

You eat the food of love in the spirit world.

The more you hear, the more you want to hear.  Within spirit world, there is no concept of being sleepy or tired there.

You look at each other with the eyes of love there.

No words have been created that can express the mystery of the spirit world.  People today try to link everything to love.

Why?

This is to be in sync with the spirit world.

Since the spirit world operates in this way, all of creation cannot help but respond to that.  They cannot abandon that position.

When you see me in your dreams, I appear to you through the waves of God's love. 


For you to have such experiences, you have to let go of ego there.  You have to sacrifice yourselves and create a vacuum.

In this vacuum, there is no memories of the fallen past, regrets or ideas of revenge or hate of another.

Once you create this vacuum, you have to become like pure gold.  Gold does not contain any other element; it is pure in itself.
