The First Love Triangle Was Between...

The original love triangle was between Adam, Eve and the tempter Lucifer.


The corruption which took place in the first family, set the dynamics that wreak havoc in male and female relations to this day.

One of the most agonizing symptoms of the first love triangle is for one’s partner to be attracted to someone else and succumb to infidelity.

The premise of one being torn between two lovers fills many classic literature and films worldwide.

The story of the duchess Anna Karenina all the way to the film “Casablanca” as well as soap operas and many blues and love songs mimic the realities of being betrayed by a lover.

The original Godly family was destroyed by the first illicit sexual encounter.

In this relationship, you can see various attributes of abuse and betrayals.

Since Lucifer was very wise about God’s plan and was thousands if not millions of years older, this was the first sexual abuse by a trusted elder.

Since Adam and Eve were God’s children, they betrayed the parent’s trust and commandment.  Lucifer was a servant to King and rebelled against Him by seducing and taking away the King’s children.

Adam and Eve were the first dysfunctional family.

We may believe that dysfunction we see in today's society was brought into the family by the ‘free love’ movement of the 1960s, but humanity began in this unfortunate way.

Even though the Bible uses metaphors and hidden messages to convey the Fall of humanity, many great cultural narratives, suggest that more than just an illicit sexual relation happened between the first human couple.

Genesis shows that the woman fell under the sway of the Tempter.  She yields to his seduction and then she instigates this betrayal to her betrothed.

This pattern and other deceptive games that may occur in relationships was established from the beginning of humanity.

Christianity also alludes to a double treachery.  Not only do Adam and Eve betray each other, but they betray the Creator.

By disregarding God’s warning and concern, Adam and Eve, and Lucifer initiate sex and parenthood outside of God’s blessing and participation.

This is a heartbreaking scenario which still plays out in many families ever since.

In some depictions of the Fall, the Tempter is depicted as a servant and friend to God.

He has been trusted, but he refuses to respect his Lord’s children because he was jealous of God’s love for them.

He sought revenge by getting God’s children to follow him instead of God through tricking the children into a premature and illicit affair.

Thus, the first children were seduced by their elder and their Parent’s friend.

This is the origin of the tragedy of sexual abuse of children by their caregivers, relatives and even clergymen.

This is also the foundation for those who use sex as a weapon and a way to gain illicit power.


Another Kind of Adultery

If we take the story of our first ancestors tragedy, we can see the basis of many legendary tales.

We can compare God to a King and the woman as His bride or Queen.  Therefore, God was to be her central focus of love and loyalty.

 Thus, when the servant seduces the queen this becomes an adulterous act that betrays the King.

The European story Tristan and Isolde, the heroic Tristan, the beloved of the king, arrives to take Princess Isolde as his wife.

However, the young man and maiden take a love potion and cannot resist their passion for each other. Unfortunately, Tristan and Isolde run off together in betrayal of the king.

Similarly, the British legend of King Arthur revolved around the theme adultery between the King’s first knight, Lancelot, and his Queen.

This one act of treachery brings down the Utopian Camelot.

Folk religions around the world tell of a parallel conflict triad.

Greek myths are full of infidelities.

Oedipus Rex involves not only mortals, but a foretold incident of incest: the son kills his father to win the love of his mother.  Reverend Moon has suggested just this kind of dynamic behind the fatal dysfunction of the first family.

Adam, Eve, and Lucifer all chose to evade the moral challenge before them and misused love.

As the elder Lucifer was to attend to the immature children of God.

His position called to have unconditional love and obedience.  He knew that as Adam and Eve grew that they were destined to receive a special divine love and have authority beyond what he as a servant could ever possess.

He had the moral challenge to be content with his role.

Lucifer could look to have eternal praise and gratitude from his beloved King after he was a good caregiver to the prince and princess and they matured to assume their rightful position as God‘s heirs and Lucifer’s masters.

This duty asked for him to be humble to those who were presumably younger and less experienced than himself.

Also, the royal offspring themselves would have paid him unending respect and admiration as well as their countless descendants.

Instead, Lucifer was not able to trust and remain faithful to his lord or His children.

As he could only focus on his own situation and not see Adam and Eve from God’s point of view, it looked unfair in his eyes.  Therefore, he decided to turn away from God’s guidance and steal the affection of the young girl in order to soothe his own hurt feelings and feeling alone.

Eve, who was lonely as Adam learned about the creation, she was very flattered to have his attention and over time, lost interest in her fiance in favor of the elder more fascinating mentor.

Once Eve replaced Lucifer as her god, he believed that if he could seduce the girl he could possess all her love and beauty for himself.

At the same time he could act out revenge to his ‘unjust’ Creator by stealing the Heavenly Father’s most precious treasure, thus destroying His whole purpose for creating the universe.

As a final nail in the coffin he placed God in a deep grave and he humiliated his would-be master by degrading him through the Fall and become his rival.

Eve gave too much of her heart to the charming elder.

Once Eve succumb to his seduction, she was ridden with extreme guilt and realized that the act was wrong and that her lover had taken advantage of her.

To add to her painful feelings, she had deeply betrayed her loving Father and her mate and violated her own purpose.

Out of desperation and to ease her guilt and fear, she went to Adam for comfort, therefore re-enacting the same selfish act of seduction which Lucifer used to trap and destroy Eve.  Adam also abandoned His Father’s will for the allure of his fiancee’s premature love.


Disastrous Template

These corrupted relationships that happened at the beginning of humanity, explains why infidelity and promiscuous sex has such a hold to enslave humanity to this moment.

Because humanity inherited this fallen history, a relational template so deeply embedded
within the human psyche and soul, people are inclined towards it as second nature.

Reverend Moon teaches that this adulterous relationship in the beginnings of human ancestral family life has set a pattern for the profound and pervasive disorder of love that we have witnessed ever since.

Freud had a sense of this when he proposed that the family tensions which arise from the ‘Oedipus complex’ were based on some primordial event that caused the disorder of  family love.

Research shows that infidelity is indeed passed on from generation to generation: One study found that eight out of ten cheating spouses also had a parent that did the same.

The study may find more such cases because the parent may have kept their indiscretion secret.

Adam and Eve’s mistake implied more than just an act of infidelity.

This act was the remote source of all the destructive patterns of interactions between males and females which plague our society today.

For example, Lucifer and Eve both refused to use their resources of unselfish love and remain faithful to whom they were responsible and entertained their infatuations instead.

Instead, they sought to please their immediate gratification and comforting embrace of the opposite sex.

This plays out in sexual involvements in contemporary society today.

 

Males act like Peter Pan and flee responsibilities in favor of maternal acceptance from girlfriends and gain reassurance through sexual conquests, thus escaping paternal rules and requirements.

Women and girls do the same when they overly indulge in the intoxicant of sex and promise and romance and use the closest male audience.

They do this at the cost of fully maturing into daughters of God.

Because the first couple introduced the disorder of love, this led to another phenomenon - the allure of ‘forbidden love’.

There is an insidious attraction to people who are off-limits or out of reach: another woman’s husband, the sister’s boyfriend, the blossoming daughter, celibate priest, ‘bad boy’, the same-sex friend.

A syndrome that has men honoring the purity of a woman, but at the same time pursue the fallen, loose woman at the bar or have a provocative mistress on the side.


Distorted Gender Relations

Psychologist David Kasbow also sees as Reverend Moon has the negative male-female ‘war of the sexes’ played out in the Genesis story.

He describes the three characters, Lucifer, Adam and Eve, involved are the archetypes of masculine and feminine forms of irresponsibility, exploitative on one hand and the foolishly naive and yielding on the other hand.


Predatory type

Lucifer plays the Don Juan, Playboy role surrounded by the compliant Playboy Bunnies.  He is the immature man who uses and discards the opposite sex in order to prove his worth.

Another dynamic is the man who dominates other men through conquering and winning their women.

This is almost like a parasite, a rapist and the vampire who feeds off of what other people possess.  The Eveic figure is the seductress who uses her sex to dominate men for money, security.  She may be thought of as a man-eater.

Lilith is another myth, the first wife of Adam is portrayed as a demonic feminine.

He is under the influence of the foxy counterpart of the male ‘wolf’, the Siren, Samson’s Delilah.

She is the woman who keeps a list of boy toys for her amusement and delight to show off her power by stealing men from other women.  The incestuous father, the pedophile and the aging man who takes on a younger trophy wife.

Lucifer was the trusted teacher and parental figure who preys on the fresh, virginal individual of the opposite sex in order to compensate for his own failures, frustrations and inner deadness.

Christian writer Sarah Hinckley says the virgin is so attractive to the worldly one because of the “lightness of heart that is the companion of sexual innocence”.


Return for Tomorrow’s Post: The Impact of Sex Without Commitment 


This post was rewritten and derived from the religious textbook “Educating for True Love” written by a team of writers to explain the philosophy of Reverend Sun Myung Moon.

Effects Sex Before Marriage on a Person

We unfortunately live in a society where people no longer wait for the person they are to marry to have sex.  Those who do are ridiculed and thought of as abnormal.

God intended for the fruit of sex to be opened between two marriage partners.

God being of love, would also participate in this event and the children which are born from this activity.

Many young people do not know the devastation from becoming sexually involved too soon has on their mind, spirit and developmental growth.

Therefore, we have listed six effects having sex outside of a secure relationship has on a person.  We continue from our discussion yesterday: Sex Before Marriage Disrupts Growth of Heart and Character


3. Guilt, Regret and Diminished Sense of Worth

In Genesis, Adam and Eve experienced shame after they ate of the fruit which produced the Fall.

Since sexuality is linked to the conscience, it is no surprise that misdirected love commonly yields a harvest of guilt and loss of self-respect.

When people have used the most valuable part of their bodies to gain pleasure or love or security, they cannot but feel degraded, even if they are not conscious of the loss for some time. 

Many experienced teenagers say they regret losing their virginity the way they did.

Both old and young men say that they are haunted with guilt that what was just a pleasurable ride for them was a moving expression of love and commitment for their partner.

Females are more sensitive to how something sacred has been violated with premature sex.

They may feel shame for violating the more of their parent’s or their faith community.

Abortions add weight to the partner’s distress.  Infidelity within marriage creates its own guilt-ridden hell for the cheater.

Once the cheater wakes up to the devastation they have caused to the lives of their loved one, the self-reproach can be crushing.

One counselor compares this guilt to having killed someone while driving.

Self-forgiveness can be a formidable challenge.

When one looks at sexual attractiveness and prowess as the important reason to have a romantic connection with another, this makes one judge people based on looks and not on who they are.  This behavior creates anxiety in their relationships.

When one is concerned on how they can use another just for sex and not the whole person as a criteria for a relationship, this causes one to have fear that there are more attractive people or those who can perform better.

“Do I still look good enough, perform well enough, please you enough?”


This is tragic when adultery brings this insecurity to the one place that should be safe and secure, the marriage bed.

This undermines the ideal that your partner is unique and irreplaceable.

Jennifer, 30, explains her experience: “The acceptance, even encouragement of premarital sex makes it very difficult to sustain the fantasy that we are the sole
object of love.”

Victims of infidelity often feel they have been trashed.

With this lowered self-esteem, one may enter into other sexual involvements just to prove that they are still desirable.

This leads to even more self-disrespect.

Thus, a vicious cycle of reaching approval through sex, not able to attain this, and thereby compounding one’s desperate need.


4. Heartbreak and Destructive Behavior


All infatuations or romantic involvements of some duration are painful when they break up.

But the break up of emotional ties and expectations of where the relationship was going is intensified even more when sex is introduced.

Studies have highlighted the role of certain brain chemicals in sexual bonding.

Even in casual liaisons, sex acts like a powerful glue which has no easy way to release its grip.

Hearts that bond through sex are unlikely to disengage without being ripped apart in some way.

This trauma, for some, can resemble the pain of divorce.

Others are able to numb or deny the pain through alcohol or pills.

Many men have said that they are so afraid of being hurt like that again that they withhold their hearts even though they give their body to another for moments of pleasure.

This is why young people are indifferent to sexual activity which one commentator called, “oddly disengaged—emotionally cool while physically hot.”

The heartbreak that is incurred and the sense that one has given themselves completely and only received a little in return, not including the fallout of diseases and unwanted pregnancies, can cause young people who engage in sex prematurely to live in despair.

The rate of teen suicide has tripled in the past 30 years in the U.S.  This is ths same time period where teenage sexual activity rose sharply.

Statistics show that girls who lose their virginity are more prone to commit suicide than virgins.  Male peers are more likely to be involved in destructive behavior, such as running away from home, drug use and getting arrested.

The emotional explosion that comes when one is sexually betrayed can lead to extreme rage or lead to violence against former or new lovers.

Other emotions can be exhibited from the break-up of a sexual liaisons: stalking, assualt and homicide when jealous lovers become a daily even.  Countless people live in fear of retaliation by an ex-lover.


5. Spiritual Disorientation


Uncommitted sex encourages a distorted spiritual outlook.

Whether one belongs to a certain religion, one may still have a negative outlook.  First, premature sex gives one the belief in one’s own supremacy of his or her ego.

When one has multiple sex partners, it implies that the ego is the ultimate reality.  One may believe that others are just ‘accessories’ to use and do not deserve commitment just come and go.

When one gets involved in a sexual bond while at the same time remain aloof from any emotional ties reflects an attempt to split body and soul.  They choose to ‘have sex’ rather than to be with a whole-person union with another.

This buys into the fiction that one who lives in this way may believe that they are free to express oneself through the body and independent.

This kind of reality is unspiritual and denies the connectedness of spirit and flesh and also of oneself.

This view of reality causes one to be pessimistic about the possibility of being faithful.  It also gives the viewpoint of the unreliability of the universe.

Hebrew prophets pointed out that God was absolutely faithful through His covenant and commitment to His children.

Since, humans are made in God’s likeness, the we should and could be faithful to one another in a lasting relationship.

This is the reason adultery is tied to idolatry - betraying the covenant God and ‘having an affair’ with another god.  Jeremiah 3.6, Hosea 1.2

Moving from partner to partner displays a fickleness that is a far cry from the steadfast divine love and the dependability of the created world.

When one treats the mystery of sexuality as just a plaything is irreverent in the extreme.

Religious people use dishonesty to reconcile their own unprincipled sexual behavior with their religious doctrines and perceptions of God.

This only intensifies the disorientation and damage to the spirit.


6. Degradation of Love, Life and Lineage


If one cannot respect the power of sex which allows humans to take on a divine creativity, then they will view few things as sacred.

When sex is cheapened, it tends to lead to a tainted view of its extensions such as love, life and lineage.

These traditional components seem optional and are disregarded when inconvenient.

Love has been degraded so in the dating scene that love is hardly mentioned when discussing sex.

This represents an anemic definition of love where fickle feelings are the focus.

Even in today’s society, a child conceived outside of marriage is still viewed as a curse rather than a blessing.

This is evidence that life and lineage is cheapened through nonmarital sex.

Now unwanted pregnancies is seen as an inconvenience to be taken care of with an afternoon abortion appointment like it was a dentist appointment.

When love is trivialized then life and lineage is tied in with disrespect for the gravity of sexual relations further reinforcing a person’s disorientation of spiritually. Not taking sex seriously, removes one from the Heart of God.

Carson Daly stated that this lowers one’s self-esteem and the feeling that one has been used.  One feels self-contempt for being an user.

Then there is the embarrassment being sexually active outside of marriage can place one out of the circle of people who exhibit true integrity.

The uneasiness that comes from concealing one’s activities from family members and others.

Also, Daly speaks about the extreme difficulty of trying to break the vicious cycle of compulsive sexual behavior, and the self-hatred that comes after each sexual bond is broken.  Then the cycle begins all over again when one has to seduce another in order to revive one’s fading self-image.


Harvest of Selfishness

Though selfishness has an intuitive link to conflict and evil, it is the selfish abuse of sexuality that gives it its most virulent power.


Egoism and being absorbed into oneself is the very definition of immaturity.

When an individual grows up and builds character, then these selfish traits tend to fade.  The big question is why do so many people fail to fully grow up to the full human potential?

Why do some grow to such maturity while other have shallow hearts and small minds and are enslaved to bad habits showing immature behavior close to an animal.

Adam and Eve’s abuse of sexual love is the most critical cause of the original disruption of human growth in morals.

People throughout the ages believe that there is evil and self-destructiveness within every human heart.

This flaw pulls human godly nature down, making it impossible for one to grow fully into their God-like maturity impossible.

Anthropologist Richard Heinberg has observed: “People of every culture and age have insisted that . . . human nature is not natural at all because it has been distorted by some fundamental mistake or failure that has been perpetuated from generation to
generation.”


Reverend Moon defines this fundamental problem as descent from a poisoned lineage, a family tree rooted in self-centered love that bears only fruit of self-centered love.

The forbidden fruit was a metaphor for sexual love, which was ‘picked’ when it was immature and unripe.  This fruit was toxic in flesh and within the seed.

The first ancestors’ unprincipled liaison fundamentally disrupted the matrix of family life. 

“Humanity lost the standard of true parents, spouses, siblings and children,” explains Reverend Moon.

Opening the sexual fruit in its immature state which all humanity inherited hinders the capacity for us to give the truest love and blindness to the true reality of the heart and spirit.  Also, it gave rise to the extreme difficulty of the mind to lead the fallen body.

Catholics call this tendency original sin.  Buddhism attributes this enslavement to the senses.  Judaism calls it an evil inclination.

Freud deemed it the sexual instinct - the most unruly side of the root of the unconscious.

This inheritance, revolving around the heart and sexual desire, derailed moral and spiritual development.


Return for Tomorrow’s Post: Relationships Need True Love to Work

This post was rewritten and derived from the religious book, “Educating for True Love” written by a team of writers to explain Reverend Sun Myung Moon’s philosophy on love and marriage.

Truly Help Our "Lost" Brothers and Sisters

If you are a person that walks the way of faith of any religion, you see that the current world we live in does not literally follow God's Kingdom.  We learn through looking at the Bible from the Principle point of view, we learn that human history started on the wrong foot which is the evil side.

This is why the Bible states that the god of this earthly world is Satan.

Due to the human fall, Satan abides in each us, through the sin circulating through our blood with every heartbeat.

In other words, we as humans are the incarnation of Satan.  Biding Satan's will and giving Satan's love. 

We are born in the lineage of Satan - not God's no matter how religious we are. 

This is against God's law of creation.

This is why He created the religious world where there were many martyrs that had to lay a foundation to bring His dream of World Peace closer to fruition.

The first religions, which were primitive, people of faith were sometimes killed as offerings or sacrifices.

This represented in a devilish way the impulse to shed the satanic blood.

From God's point of view, with this flow of stained blood in our veins, we are not human beings or part of His pure creation.  We are seen as just satanic beings in the position of His enemies of love. 

We became Satan's children through following his low standard of 'love' and will and God's enemy.

Yet, God has worked thousands of years to help to change this tragic position of humanity.

This world of hell came about not as part of God's world, but from human's not following God's plan of flourishing blessings.

This is why Jesus cursed the people and said, "You are of your father, the Devil" John 8:44.

Our first ancestors went against God's desire and entered into an unchaste, sexual relationship before God's love was able to grow and mature within them.

True Parents are needed in order for us to have perfect restoration.  We must be able to change this stained blood lineage through the process of true rebirth.


In the Bible we read that when Nicodemus visited Jesus and heard him talk about rebirth, he asked, "How can we go back into our mother's womb?" Jesus reportedly said to him, "You are a leader of Israel and still you don't know what rebirth means?" In conclusion, he said, "If you are not born again, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God."


To be 'born again' means to become part of God's pure lineage such as Jesus was, because we are men and women of the satanic lineage, this is our destination.

To change our satanic lineage into God's, we must live a true ascetic life such as we observe those in the convents.  Such a life of faith presents difficulties and hardships in a world of such free sex and loose morals, but to begin the process of a pure lineage, we must follow God's true laws in order to restore our sinful blood.

What does changing our sinful blood have to do with World Peace?

Wouldn't a world of people who are not born into sin less likely to cause war and harm to others, yet live for others?

Imagine a world full of Jesus'.  Wouldn't such a world be more at peace than this world full of Judases and Cains.



Q. How did sin come into the world if God didn't create it as part of humanity?

God gave the warning of do not delve in the fruit of love before the right time and Satan gave his word of it is okay to eat.  Adam and Eve both believed Satan's world more than God just as children do with their earthly parents.

God said do as I say and there will be blessings, but if you go against my laws expect curses.

How can we in this day and age still believe that God created hell when He is our Father and He wanted to give us a world of blessings. HUMANITY chose curses over a world of God's love and laws.

This was the first stage of the fall.  During the course of restorations, we must have the conviction to believe in God's words strongly and absolutely.  The result of our not having faith in God's words and carrying them out was the satanic lineage through believing in Satan's words.

Jesus shed his blood in order to connect our satanic, sinful blood to his pure unstained lineage.

The wine during the Holy Communion symbolizes the shedding and sharing of Jesus' pure blood that is connected to God's.  All of humanity was meant to be born as Jesus was without sin.

The wine thus symbolizes godly lineage.

When we partake in the bread and wine, it signifies the blood of God's lineage and we are removed in that manner from the satanic lineage to divine lineage.

We can look at the tragedy of the sin becoming part of God's children tainting His pure bloodline as a burden to humanity who owes a debt of blood, sweat and tears in order to clean this stain.

God's only story is experiences since the fall filled with nothing but tears, sweat and blood.

This is His only history.  When we see the true history of God's painful, torn heart due to His children's disobedience, we see that people of faith and Christians truly don't know what God is all about.

They sing about Him sitting on this glorious throne enjoying life and His rule over His Kingdom.

Through the Divine Principle, we see that this is not true at all.



"Someone has to liberate God and He cannot do it Himself The agony of parents, or of husband and wife, cannot be solved by themselves alone.

The agony of parents can only be solved by children; the agony of a husband can only be solved by his wife, and the agony of a wife by her husband. The only way to liberate God from His sorrow is by becoming a son or daughter of filial piety to take over His agony.

God wanted to forgive Adam and Eve, but He was not in the position to forgive them, because they were in no state to be forgiven.

We must imagine this: suppose there was another person who did not fall-a brother of Adam, who, standing intact from the fall, would go to the Father and beg Him to forgive his brother and sister; what would have happened?

If that man, without having fallen, would go to God and ask Him to forgive his brother for the fall, and if he would tell the Father that he would help by taking on any responsibility himself-, he would be willing to be beaten or anything else for the sake of the fall of his brother and sister, God could have forgiven them.

This was supposed to be the way of forgiveness, or salvation of the fallen people.

A person who has not fallen can be said to have nothing to do with Satan.

If God has that kind of individual, He can develop His providence of salvation with that one in the center.

This type of person is "Abel," or one who is in the position of Abel in the place of Cain who symbolized the satanic bloodline.

Abel is supposed to be the person who can receive perfect love from God. He or she must be able to be triumphant over Satan. Abel must be able to sacrifice him or herself for humankind. In other words there should be one who is willing to be sacrificed in place of the fallen brother and sister in order to liberate them.

That sacrificial brother will become the Christ. What is the mission of Christ, the Messiah? He is the one who bears your burden and your indemnity.

That is why he is the savior."


Reverend Sun Myung Moon


In today's society, we see many leaders and celebrities who want to be in the position of a god, saint or Messiah.

Once we see the heavy burden of such a title and responsibility, we see that the rightful owner of such a title is the one and only God.

If you take over the burden of someone else's life then you are that person's savior.  Just on your condition of standing in the place of your fallen, sinful brother, they can be liberated.

The tears you shed for them will be the gateway of salvation to open and to relieve God's sorrow and the human sorrow.

God's Providence in Scriptures - God's Warning to the World message from prison

Mankind's Godly Responsibility

This speech was given in 1992 in Seoul, Korea by Reverend Sun Myung Moon's wife:

Distinguished guests, representatives of the Women's Federation for World Peace from seventy countries, women leaders and members of the Women's Federation for Peace in Asia:

By your presence, you bring many blessings to our Federation's future, and inspire us to multiply our determination to achieve world peace.  

This may be the first time that women have taken the initiative by bringing so many women together in one place.

I am certain that from this day forward, women around the world will come to understand their noble role which has been ordained by God, and that a road will be opened for us to build an ideal world filled with peace, happiness and freedom.

Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon

The following declaration is based upon the heart of God that transcends the past, present and future.

These words are a declaration before heaven and earth, with history as a witness.  The following words may seem unfamiliar to some, but they deal with the secrets of heaven that all women today need to understand in order to usher in the new era of peace, not only for their own family, but for the world.

History Began in a Diseased State


We have come to live in a diseased world whose destruction of its evil is inevitable.

This is the true meaning of 'The Last Days'.

Every day we hear the ugly sounds of its final death rattle.

We can trace the origin of this disease to the original ancestors who had the responsibility to lay a tradition in paradise that would lead the rest of their descendants directly to Heaven on earth.

Instead of following God's Words, they followed another.

Our original ancestors thus contracted a serious disease.  In religious terms, this even is referred to as the human fall.

This disease caused by Satan, who told our ancestors to follow his word instead of God's, has been the focus of human history in restoring the world back to its original position of heaven on earth.

The tragedy of human history was that it originated with Satan's will.

The lord of evil stole the central position to God's ideal of creation.

Adam and Eve's union resulted in children of evil, instead of children of goodness bearing God's original pure blood lineage.

We inherited Satan's love, Satan's life and Satan's lineage.  Our reproductive organs were intended to join together in virtue, to be the temples of true love, true life and true lineage.

Love was supposed to be experienced betwen a husband and wife in a virtuous union to procreate children who carry on the pure lineage.   The center of life is love.  The human lineage is transmitted by means of the love and life of a husband and wife.

The connecting line of love, life and blood lineage is what continues throughout history.  We have been held as prisoners by satanic love, satanic life and satanic lineage bearing any link to God's pure love, life and lineage.  Adam and Eve were in their youth when they sowed the seeds of this false love, false life and false lineage.  

Therefore, in these Last Days, we see a decline in morality among the young people around the globe.  

Satan uses his fallen love as a way to create a den of sin where a blow struck against God's ideal of true love.    

Standards were relaxed concerning sexual behavior, the plague of drug addiction and the decline of the family structure and traditional values have turned this world into an earthly hell.

It is impossible to find a true man, true woman, true brothers and sister, true husband and wife or true parents anywhere.

Before this age, there was no hope of creating a true society, true nation or a true world.

Mankind Must Engraft Onto God and True Parents

Adam and Eve formed a trinity of evil.

It is up to us to restore Adam and Eve that is in accordance with the ideal of creation.

In order to resolve this historical disease, someone has to testify to the fact that Satan committed sin and be able to explain the fundamental truths concerning the sin which our original human ancestors committed.

Satan and God have known the details of the fall which has been hidden from humanity and repeated to this day.

Adam was still young and did not understand many things about his environment.

In the Last Days, when Adam and Eve will finally reach perfection and discover this information and share it with the world is the biblical account of Revelations to how God will surely reveal all secrets in the Last Days.

Thus the exact crime which Satan created throughout history will be revealed.

Then it will be possible to expel Satan from the world.

For the first time, humanity will be able to make a fundamental change in direction toward hope, peace, happiness and freedom.

For us to be able to break free form false love, false life and false lineage we inherited from Satan, it is necessary that we leave behind our wild olive roots and engraft onto the true olive tree of the Messiah.

This will make it possible for our blood lineage to return to God's unstained, pure blood lineage and rebuild a heaven on earth and in spiritual world.

This is God's final purpose of God's providence of salvation, restoration and recreation.  Therefore, this is the era where the True Parents come to earth to reverse the mistake of the first parents.  

This is of the greatest historical importance.  The True Parents, who reverse the fall of our first parents, represent the final fruit of human history.

True Parents embody the completed form of human cultural history.

They signify the victory of religious efforts and philosophy within history.  Before True Parents could come, there was a period of indemnity and restoration through sacrifice, suffering and blood.

God's Providential History of Restoration

I would like to speak for a while about this historical period, based on the biblical record, to illustrate the difficulties. By understanding this, we can understand how important it is that we fulfill our responsibility today.

In the Old Testament, history worked through indemnity such as an eye for eye, tooth for tooth and life for life.  This responsibility of the fall passed from Eve to Adam.

Satan was at the center of that union.  From Eve's standpoint, after she had received the seed of false life and love from Satan, the fall occurred where Satan took over God's position.

Satan became Eve's father.  Eve placed the archangel in the position of father and Adam in the position of her son.  

Women who stand in the position of Eve in the course of restoring the world through indemnity, they have had to risk their lives in order to assure God's will would pass to the next generation.

When we look at the historical record in the Bible, we see a number of events that seem to defy explanation.

God's original intention in His creation was that Eve would become one with God.

Because Eve followed Satan's command, she became one with him.

Immediately after the Fall, God began the work through the family of Adam in order to undo the wrong course of history by going through the reverse course.

God worked through Adam's family because by them not linking to God, the fall deprived members of this family of eternity which they were given this privilege at their creation.

This is the process God used to bring about restoration of the first parents:

Cain was the very first fruit of love linked to Satan who took Eve which was on the side of evil.  Abel who was the second fruit of love, was placed to resemble the side of heaven.

This was the beginning of the history of struggle between good and evil which was aimed at the fundamental restoration through indemnity.

Cain and Abel made offerings to God at the same time, but God received only the offering from Abel, the second son, who represented God's side.

Cain represented Satan's side and God refused his offering.

The reason for this was that the second son should restore the birthright of the first son who represented Satan who was the first 'son' in relation to Adam.

Cain was to make his offering through Abel.  This is the orderly path of restoring the mistake of their parents.  This would have restored their mistake.

But because Cain could not humble to Abel and killed his brother, heaven thus worked through Seth who worked on behalf of Abel.  This providence was extended to his descendants.

Because of their failure to restore the Fall, while outside of their mother's womb, God had to accomplish His dispensation beginning within the womb.

Once we know this simple fact, we understand when Rebecca asked God why Esau and Jacob fought within her womb, God said, "Two nations are in your womb..the elder shall serve the younger." Genesis 25:23

After she understood the providence of God's will to return the mistake of Cain and Abel, she came to take greater care of the second son, Jacob.

Jacob had the responsibility to restore through indemnity the birthright of his brother Esau, emulating Adam and Abel to take back the birthright of God from Satan and Cain and bringing it back to the correct position.

That leaves one position left for this to be successful.  Rebecca needed to fulfill her responsibility in the position of Eve.

Now, we can understand the biblical account of why the firstborn was struck in Egypt during the course of Israelites' exodus and Jacob's switching of his hands over Manasseh and Ephraim at the time of their blessing.

These all contained the hidden will of heaven in order to bring about the reversal of the mistake of the first and second sons.

God's Providence to Send the Messiah


Eve deceived, God, her Father and Adam, in her fall.  To restore this, Rebecca stood on heaven's side and deceived the father Isaac and her son Esau so that Jacob could receive the blessing.

Jacob bought the birthright of the first born and initiated the lineage of Israelites on this victory which was won with the cooperation of a mother and her son.

However, when Jacob was successful in fulfilling God's will of taking full control of the birthright of the firstborn, he was already forty years old.

Therefore those who were forty and older were in the realm of victory over Satan.

But those under forty did not have a condition that gave them victory over the control of Satan on that level.

Therefore, a new dispensation was carried out for the purpose of gaining victory within the womb.  Tarmar and her twins Zerah and Perez.  Perez was the younger brother, but he pushed Zerah aside in order to become be the first born.  In fact, the word "Perez" is derived from this event.

At the beginning of history, Satan's lineage was planted within the mother's womb.

How was this possible when humanity was created by God?

We saw in the previous post that the misuse of the sexual organs was the actual cause of the Fall.

The archangel had tempted Eve with fallen love that was outside of God's dominion.  Through a sexual relationship passed on this sin to Adam, thus bearing children that were connected to Satan's blood.

The only way that the blood lineage passes from one to the other is through the action of a sexual encounter.

This mother's womb was restored to the side of God through Tamar following the will of God. Therefore, heaven took control over the first-son realm and the second son realm to God's original lineage which had caused the fall.

This was the way that the tribe of Judah formed a pure foundation where the Messiah could be born through that lineage.

This was not a simple reversal.

Tamar, as a woman fulfilling Eve's mistake, had to place herself in the position of deceiving her father and son.   She had to deny her father-in-law and his sons, whom she eventually would marry, in order to separate the position of Eve from Satan.

After this was accomplished, a basic tradition was established where God's children could be conceived without the original sin. The womb was purified from Satan's invasion.

Then it was up to the Israelites and Judaism to carry on this standard of victory in the womb until the time of the Messiah could be sent.

But by then , Satan had already had an established nation in the world.  Therefore, to send the Messiah at that time, there was not a safe national foundation for him to stand where the dispensation for restoring the world.

God had to wait 2,000 years until there was enough of this national foundation, where a woman could stand in the position of Eve, for Him to carry out His providence.

This finally took place through Mary who was Jesus' mother.

When Adam and Eve created the fall, they were engaged at that time, but they were not married by God yet.

In the same way, Mary and Joseph were betrothed to each other centered on God.  Just as Rebecca and Tamar, Mary was a revolutionary woman.  She was called by God to take part in the process of recreating Adam.

Since, Eve had deceived God and Adam, Mary had to place herself in a position to reverse Eve's mistake by deceiving her father and son.

This is the process where Jesus was conceived.  Therefore, Satan could not invade Mary's womb during the time of Jesus.

Jesus was born of a womb that belonged to a victorious woman who reveresed the reverse is the first fruit of the first love.

This was the first time in history that the bond to love Satan's children was established.

During the time that Jesus was in Mary's womb, Satan could make no invasion through lineage.  Even though saints dedicated their lives as individuals.

This is true today.  There, the Christian point of view was able to be used and was able to spread.

Finally, God has worked to use the victory in the Second War and the Christian cultural sphere to be able to accomplish unification of the world.

Reason Religious Conflict Continues

Have you ever wondered what would have happened if man had not fallen?

What if we chose God's words over Satan's?

The Bible teaches that God is absolute, holy perfect and all-powerful, while we humans which He created are profane.  This is wrong.

Even those who have passed on to the spirit world call God their Father, just as people on the earth do.

Therefore, if you are unable to establish a direct relationship with God without the need for a messenger, how can we come to call Him our Father?

Here we see the logical contradiction at the outset.

God created humans to be His sons and daughters, but do you think throughout human history He has witnessed them dancing and singing while praising God?

Because man was expelled from Heaven on Earth from the outset, God has not been able to experience that day.

Christians do not realize this fact about God.  They see God sitting on His throne in glory, all-knowing, all-powerful happily enjoying the creation.

God is not able to do anything.


Because we fell from His standard, God cannot work freely or to His heart's utmost intention.

Christians must ask why God has not been able to save humanity all these thousands of years.

What is the answer?

Because humanity is the one that committed sin.

They practiced free will in not choosing God's words as absolute.  Then they fell away from God and toward Lucifer as a consequence of that choice.  Since we committed sin, we must be the ones to liquidate it.

What is it that God absolutely wants? 

What do you think that God ultimately wants?  Is it ability?  Power?

Churches today teach that God is the righteous God of judgment.  They say He sends good people to the Kingdom of Heaven and evil people to hell.

Would you like to have that kind of judge or father?

Do you even like judges in the secular world?

What kind of God would want to send people to hell and others to heaven?  This would be unfair.  Christian doctrine claims that God the Creator is holy and the things He created are profane.

This theology contradicts the original purpose of the universe.

The traditional, mainstream idea of Christianity is said to be based on love, even loving one's enemy, but how can the profane sinner and the holy God become one? 

There must be a basis establish to answer this serious question.  Any other conclusion beforehand is futile and false.

God needs a partner to absolutely obey, serve and have relationship with Him at the cost of His own life.

Unfortunately, theological trends have upheld so far the view that created beings are not in equal position to the holy Creator.

Now is the time to re-examine all previous doctrines of God and views of life.

With the old ideals, how can love be given?

Can God share His love with Himself?

God needs an object partner.  

What motivated God to create the world?  Why wasn't He satisfied alone?

God created Heaven and earth because He needed love.

Then based on this, the Christian doctrine is in error.  They say that because God is an absolute power that He can subsist on power alone.  That is why wherever this was taught, blood has been spilled.

Based on this logic, Christian culture will have a devastating impact on the world in the Last Days even though the Western world has developed according to the Christian culture.

History is heading into the age of science. 

We are living in the advent of scientific development where the fundamental roots of everything are investigated.

Our basic origins are pursued through studying the origins of species, religion must keep up the pace.

Religion must explain the reality of the world of creation and prove God's existence.  God prepared the substance of such a religion because He is a living God.

If the Absolute Being created us to practice His love, it is clear that there was a motivation and purpose behind our creation.

In order to explain this motivation and purpose, there needs to be a correct view of God that explains who He is.

Once we acquire the correct understanding of God, it will reveal His purpose and motivation for creation. Therefore, clarifying the reason we practice absolute love for the sake of peace.

If God exists, then we must be able to view the origin of true love, true ideal, true peace and happiness from the new standpoint centering on God.

From there we can secure perspectives of God, life, and material things that are aligned with God's own viewpoint.  Then finally, we will be able to welcome a world of new peace and new happiness.

The reason behind religious conflict lies in the vagueness of the doctrines.  There cannot be two absolute beings, only one.

However the leaders of each religion claim that their absolute being is the true God and the others are false or not true gods.

This results in each religion having their own absolute being even though it is the same God.

This fosters further contradictory ideas of the existence of many absolute beings.

Since this leads to the conclusion that the gods of all religions are nothing but relative gods, the system of absolute values still remains relative.

This should have been developed through religions based on the doctrine concerning God's love and truth.

In other words, we conclude that religions to this day have not established an absolute value system that settles the confusion.

This is because no religion has been able to present the correct explanation about the Absolute Being.  Confusion is the inevitable result.

Each religion has their own absolute being as the basis of its doctrine.

The absolute being in Judaism is Jehovah, in Christianity, God and in Islam, Allah.

Buddhism and Confucianism do not specify an absolute being, but with the basic Confucian virtue, benevolence being connected to heavenly mandate.

Heaven can be taken as the absolute being in Confucianism.

Moreover, since Buddhism teaches that all dharmas constantly change while the truth is found in the "suchness" behind dharmas, we can say that "suchness" constitutes the absolute being in Buddhism. 

This new religion must have a doctrine that reveals the absolute beings of the different religions as not separate gods, but one and the same.

This new religion will reveal that all religions constitute a brotherhood established by God where the theologies of each have embraced one particular aspect of God's attributes.

This new religion will complete the picture of God.

In revealing the attributes of God and His motivation and purpose behind creation, the doctrine must explain that this purpose and these laws govern the movement of everything in the universe.

The doctrine shows that human norms are in the end, in accordance with the universal law, that is the heavenly way.

The Divine Principle, which this blog is based upon, explains that the creativity serves us in our understanding of the process of creation.

Next, it gives a substantial explanation to the true reason behind the Fall and then present a view of history.

It explains how God, rather than abandoning human beings in their fallen state, took responsibility for His children and has been working diligently for their re-creation throughout the course of history.

God has been working hard to bring His original ideal of Heaven on Earth to fruition in our time.

The Principle logically and plainly reveals that through this process of restoration, we will arrive at the world He purposed to achieve.

Sexual Organs the Most Holy Place

Throughout religious history, practically every part of human life has been discussed in the pulpit except one grey area: the sexual organs.

While preacher's may speak about the current world situations, disasters, economy, political views, dispute other faiths and philosophies, still they leave the most important element out of their speeches.

Sex in and of itself is not dirty, but humanity has become ashamed because we have left our position and ate of the fruit without God's permission.

In these Last Days, we have reached a position through the return of the Messiah to reverse this mistake of the Fall and return to our original position before the Fall.

Through the teachings of the Divine Principle, we learn that the world turned into chaos because of Eve and the archangel giving into the fruit which were known to be the sexual organs.  She passed this indiscretion on to Adam and from then on to their descendants up to the present times.

Now, is not the time to hide this information, but to teach about it and speak about it in order for this mistake to no longer be passed down.

If parents or preachers do not teach their children at a younger age, then Satan surely will teach them for us the inappropriate ways of using their sexual organs and without any time period or waiting for just one partner.

Why do we stubbornly hold onto the tradition that speaking about sex in the context of God is a no no when God created absolute, pure sex in the first place?

Where do you think God's most holy place is?  It is the sexual organs of men and women where love dwells.  This is heaven's most holy place.

What is the symbol of the love between a man and woman?  Where is the final destination of love?

The place where man and woman want their love to end up is the sexual organs which make a man and a woman one.  The sexual organs become a channel that can bring their mind and body into complete oneness of love.

Sex is the original palace of love, the most holy place of heaven

What is the difference between men and women?

First, the obvious difference is their external bodies including the sexual organs are different.

For whom is the male sexual organ absolutely necessary?

The male sexual organ exists for a woman.  One sexual organ is concave and the other is convex.  Why are they made like that?

Both of them could point out or be made flat, but why do they look different?  It is all for the sake of the other.  The man's organ is absolutely wanted by the woman's organ, and the woman's organ is wanted by the man.

We have not known that the woman's organ absolutely belongs to the man and the man's organ absolutely belongs to the woman.  Would they belong to several different men or women?  Is God like this?

By the two owning each other's sexual organs, man and woman can come to know true love.

The sexual organs of men and women are the treasure store of the royal palace.

The man and woman's sexual organs are the treasure store of the royal palace of the heavenly nation.

Even God cannot do whatever He wants with her sexual organ.  Only her husband can open the lock to it.

A woman should not get undressed before two men.  She is only allowed to undress herself before her master.  Anyone else is a devil.

The sexual organ is the royal palace of love.

The sexual organ is the royal palace where one receives the blood ties and lineage.  It is where one will inherit heaven. This will never, ever change.

It is a royal palace of true life, a royal palace where true love is found and true lineage.

It is the most precious place.

Therefore, since this is the most holiest of places, then it is also the most fearsome if one lets just anyone open up the key to this place.

As Adam and Eve had done, they destroyed the royal palace of love, life and lineage and invited in the false love, life and lineage inherited from Satan.

You cannot do whatever you want with it.  The sexual organ cannot be open without God's official approval.

No one can even touch this royal palace without your husband or wife who has received approval from God and the universe.

Why did God create the sexual organs?  It is because of love.

The sexual organs come into being in order to find love. What is the sexual organ?

It is the royal palace that is centered on a true lineage where God's direct blood lineage can be born from there.

Then it is the most precious thing in creation. Without it, God's ideal world, God's family and God's will cannot be realized.  The sexual organ is the starting point for the achievement of the perfection of all of these.

If a world existed that absolutely valued the sexual organ, do you think that this would be a good world or a bad world?

Would a world that preserved the sexual organ be a world of prosperity or a world of ruin?

When God created human beings, what part do you think God made with the greatest of concerns? Would it be the eyes?

What about the nose?  The heart or the brain?  These things will disappear when you die, do they not?

The sexual organ is the royal palace of love. 

What has happened to that royal palace of love now?

It is such a precious thing, a holy thing to be cherished.  But the Fall has turned it dirty.

From God's viewpoint it is not something to be viewed as dirty, but something holy.

From there, true life, true love and true lineage are connected to it.  Satan defiled such a holy thing.

Our sexual organ is the original palace of love. Only if love, life and lineage is accomplished can your sexual organ be the royal palace in which God can dwell.  Since God is King of all kings, and the one who is to go to the original palace and reside there, if you attend God you must attain the original palace of love, life and lineage, and the original palace of conscience. Amen!

The sexual organ is the point where two people in love become one as a unified body of life with love at the center.  It is the place where the blood of a man and the blood of a woman blend into one in one melting pot.

You should know that this place is more precious than your own sons and daughters.  More precious than your husband and even more precious than God.

They will say you are a heretic for saying this, but through the sexual organs that remain pure and are approved by God, can create children that are born of God's direct blood lineage - true children.

Without it, your parents would have no value, your couple would have no value.  Your sons and daughters would have no value.

Once humanity lost the royal palace, children thereafter were connected to Satan carrying his dirty blood lineage. This is the point where the view of something of such value as the sexual organ received such a negative connotation.

If we do not inherit the royal palace, there is no value to you as a couple.

Since this place is so precious, it is kept under lock and key as the most precious treasure of your whole life.  In order to keep it from being seen by anyone in the world.

The key to the man's organ is held by the wife and the key to the woman's organ is the husband.  There is only one key for each.

Would you like for your husband to have ten or twenty keys just like those who indulge in free sex?  Do you want it to be like a ruined house without an owner, where the door is open to any passerbyer?

The sexual organ is the original palace with which a man and a woman make love.

Your grandparents and parents have lived revering this place.

You as a couple revere this place, and your sons and daughters to come in the future will also live revering it.  Is this not so?  Is there a woman or a man who has lived truly regarding and safeguarding their royal palace?

If so, then why has it turned into something bad?

The sexual organ is seen as a vulgar word.  Why when it is such a holy place?

It is because of this that eternal love is connected and from this that eternal life and lineage appear.

A man and woman who are able to protect and keep their purity are likewise protected by the universe.  This is because by keeping the order of love between men and women is the fundamental root of the universe.

Why were men and women born on the earth?

They were born in order to love one another.

Since God is a great king of wisdom, He allowed for the exchange of the love organs between men and women.

Despite what people have come to believe, the man's sexual organ does not belong to him and neither does the woman's sexual organ belong to herself.

Behaving according to popular culture, or to your own desire while ignoring the owner will cause you to receive judgement for violating love.

God is a fair being.

Hence, since it is not right for people to fight over who owns what, God designed for the planting of the man's possession within the woman and the woman's possession within the man.  Love may seem wicked, but in reality it is something breathtaking.

Love must create harmony.  There is nothing dirty in love.

Although the sexual organ is the most precious thing, it is also close to the dirtiest area of the human body. Why is this the case?

Since harmony is a principle in the creation of heaven and earth, the male and female sexual organs are the most precious things.  God thus installed them properly in the center of the body.

It is the safest zone, and at the same time it is next to he dirties place. This shows us that God is truly the king of wisdom.

He teaches the human world that love can even rule over something dirty.  

The pathway of urine is also nearby.

Which would you rather cut off: your fingers or your sexual organ?

There should be a vertical standard for the use of the sexual organs. 

All the four limbs are horizontal. This is why the vertical sexual organ is right in the middle.  Isn't this part of a trinity?  It represents God.

Among all of the possession that a man has, two parts of the sexual organ represent the dual characteristics of Adam and Eve.  The one that stands stiff represents God.

You get married in order to be able to meet God.  God does not exist separately from this.

When you enter that place, God is living there.  The sexual organ is more important than your own head?  There is not true love, life or lineage in your head.

Where is the origin?

The sexual organ is the most important than your head.

The root of life also lies here.  It is the same with lineage.  This is the most precious place. Not only in reference to the human body, but also in the world and throughout human history.

Without the sexual organ, the multiplication of humankind would be impossible.

For human beings, the antenna of love is their sexual organ. 

The man is convex and the woman is concave. When the two join together, they become round and disappear.

It is like a negative electrical charge and a positive electrical charge which meet creating a thunder clap, then returning to zero.

If the man had his own sexual organ he would not want to give it away and the woman would not want to give hers away either.

Then the man and woman would stand confronting each other in this way for a thousand or ten thousands years.  However, since they have made this exchange with each other centered on love, they share their sexual organs out of mutual need and give and receive creating a circular motion.

Value occurs only through this exchange.
