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.

The Homeland the True God Desires

Have you ever thought that God has a dream just as we have been given one?  If we are made in God's image and likeness, then He should too have dreams for a better future for creation and humanity, correct?

When we look through the events of history from God's point of view, we see God's handiwork through His people to restore the world through their works.

Jesus came to establish God's homeland.

Prophets and patriots of history worked hard as well in order to build this same dream of a Godly homeland.

Each generation tag teams in order to see a better world come.  In order for us to establish heaven on earth, a perfect man like Jesus must appear and complete Jesus' mission of bringing heaven on earth, not just in spirit world.

This man must be recognized by heaven and earth beginning with establishing a heavenly family through having children and establish a tribe, a people and a true nation.

He must reverse the fallen relationship of the brothers Cain and Abel and engraft them to His pure lineage.  Then, build the true homeland where God has dominion in the world and evil must flee.

Prophets, saints and patriots of history all had the same desire to see a world exempt of evil - an Utopian or heaven on earth.

However, they were not able to build this heaven on earth where individuals, families, nations and world could be connected as true brothers and sisters centered on God.

Therefore, we must abandon the path along which humankind is headed in the wrong direction and go in God's direction.


Q. What if Adam and Eve had followed God's direction and did not fall?

Adam would have become the true leader of his tribe.

He would have been the leader of his people.  In addition, he would have been the representative of the nation.

Adam would have become the first true king.

Thus the world would have automatically have been united without a trace of conflict or wars.

They would have operated under one philosophy set by Adam.

Any other trivial and worthless philosophies and doctrines would have been cast aside.

Unfortunately, this did not happen.

We currently live where myriads of doctrines have brought about great confusion to the world.  This problem must be exposed at the root and eliminated.

Humanity's process of thought should have been based on the unfallen, perfect Adam.

Our language would have been Adam's language, our cultural would have been set based on Adam's culture, our tradition should have been Adam's tradition, our lifestyle would have been Adam's way of living and our political systems would have been Adam's systems.

Everything should have come under the system of thought of Adam's nation. 

The philosophy behind a true Adam is called Godism.

Everyone must become one with God, centering on His heart. It was suppose to be the only philosophy humankind would have lived by.

Everyone has a longing to live in the heavenly kingdom in heaven and on earth.

Do you think there are boundaries within heaven with heavy walls and sections?  Do they have many different languages?  No.

What does the heavenly kingdom look like?

Since all people were born in the bosom of God, then God sees us as His sons and daughters, brothers and sisters in the family of God.

From heaven's perspective, we are one people, all citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

Our goal is to build a unified world and one nation under God. 

Our goal is to build a nation with one sovereignty, one people, one land, and one culture that is connected to God's lineage through the True Parents who appeared and reversed the first parents' fallen mistake.

In that nation, everyone is determined to inherit God's realm of heart and fulfill the biblical idea of 'love your enemy."

The world God created cannot have national boundaries or problems between races. 

People believe that evil and darkness is eternal and is a necessary part of humanity and the creation.

Even teaching that evil is necessary and was created by our good God to balance out and be the opposite to goodness.

Even though evil was created and is in the world, does not mean it was intended or created at the beginning of creation.

If we followed God's command at the beginning, there would be no need for the struggle between good and evil.

We grew up in a world where borders divide the nation and there are problems between people of different races.

There are even barriers between husband and wife, parents and children and between siblings.

There is a struggle between good people and evil people.

How can we continue to believe that this is part of a creation that God would create for His own children?

What father would create anything bad for their children?  If God is the beginning and end, wouldn't He only create a beautiful environment that would ripen for His own people?

Evil was created when His first children delved into a part of creation before it was ripened. If you have ever tried to eat an unripened fruit such as an apple or banana, you understand how undesirable it is or inedible it is for human consumption.

This is the understanding of the symbolic 'fruit' in the garden of Eden.  We know it to be the sexual organ - the fruit of God's children where the seeds of children are planted.

The returning Lord's task is to transcend racial problems and create one nation without borders, unite the divided families and bring the kingdom of peace to this world where good and evil are fighting.


Q. Where is the original land, original homeland of our unfallen ancestors?

Will it be logical that this homeland will be established based on the standard of one specific nation?

What is the homeland which God and humankind have been searching for, the answer is.... the whole of planet Earth.


Q. How can we create this Godly homeland?

Earth is the homeland which we have longed.  Our ancestors and past generations walked the path of sacrifice, so what was it they desired and begged from Heaven the most to achieve?

This was their cry: "Please quickly bring the era of the Godly Homeland without a trace of evil!"

To establish a nation of God, we establish on earth the peaceful Kingdom of Heaven that places good as the standard above all else.

This eliminates evil and judges its ringleader Satan, who has been the enemy of Heaven.

Please understand that this is has been the desire of our ancestors who have contributed enormously to the course of the providence as well as Jesus and God.

Don't you desire to have a nation where God is ruler, a heaven on earth, or have you settled for this Kingdom of Hell perpetrated from the beginning by Lucifer?

There must be a country that is able to encompass a family a tribe and a people.

Six thousand years of history and God has followed countless nations, longing and seeking this one country where He could establish the heavenly nation on this earth.

He also has been searching for His loyal subjects and virtuous men and women to build such a nation.  We must reorganize families, people, and nations with God as humanity's center.

Our responsibility as people of faith is to bring about this day of liberation, the restoration of our homeland.

The mission of religious people in every religion has been the creation of this homeland.

Yet, ironically, often the selfish desires within people of faith to achieve their own personal salvation has prevented them from uniting on this purpose from across the spectrum of the different religions.

We have set the standard on the individual level, a people and a nation, so now we mobilize and seek the day of freedom, equality and happiness for all God's people.

We seek the day of the restoration of our God-given homeland as well.

Inevitably we must go this way, but, through difficulty.

This is my perspective and the standard that God is seeking. It was this standard that Jesus was trying to establish up until the time of his death.


When we move forward in the process of restoring our homeland, we will suffer and sacrifice in the process.

We will stand on the frontline, the time will come when everyone will say it cannot be done without our working in faith for the goal.

We must work hard for three years to set that standard.  We have to establish this heavenly tradition through shedding blood, sweat, and tears until all people inherit everything from us.

We have to clearly understand that there are still conditions of indemnity to be offered.

God isn't sitting in glory on His throne, He is a miserable God, a lonely God and an unspeakably sad God.  What father could idly watch his children suffer as he ate a king's meal?

God's joy begins when His children become soldiers on the front line, who have the conviction to fight and restore our homeland even if we are bleeding and fall down from the loss of blood.  Even if we have to lose all worldly possessions in the process.

When the ranks of these brave soldiers who fight to restore our homeland and unite the world increase, then God's true joy will begin.

Do you know about God's providence to the present time?

The first goal is to have the foundation on which we can bring about the restoration of God's homeland in heaven's nation and liberate God's Kingdom on earth.

This must be accomplished even if you have to sacrifice your time spent with your family.  Even if you end up as a refugee, a gypsy, this must be done.

We have to set up a country that is under the dominion of God. 

When we look at how communist countries force unity and loyalty to the government - think of this being given freely by the people centered on God?

We are at the time where those of genuine authority and dedication to God work alongside the Messiah and offer their financial foundation necessary for the restoration of our homeland on earth.

This foundation will bring about the nation that will bring world unity.



I should not help you either as a group or as individuals with the money from my own wallet. We have to follow the will of Heaven. Korea must be responsible for Korea; Japan must be responsible for Japan, and America for America. Providentially, these three countries are one. They are the countries of the parents and the eldest son.



We must create an impetus for one unified language.

We Must Find Our Homeland

We long for the nation of God, because it is the place of love.

God's nation is a place where, instead of temporary, corrupted love, we have an eternal love transcendent of time to continually exist.

It is also a place where you can elevate yourself and become 100 percent of your value.

God's nation is where you are eternally happy.

This is why all people are yearning for the heavenly nation.

You should go to the spirit world only after bringing giid results under the realm of God's dominion on earth.

This is the original standard of creation.

Instead, not only do we fear death, but we go after planting many bad seeds and enter into an ungodly realm for eternity.  This is far from God's original plan.  He did not create hell, our ways created it.

If you are unable to restore a heavenly nation on earth during your lifetime, when you go to spirit world, you do not have the value to belong to a heavenly nation in spirit world.

What is bound on earth is bound in heaven.

Our faith's goal is to become citizens of God's country. 

A person without a country, a homeland is always attacked.

Such a person stands in a miserable position.  He may often feel hopeless after suffering an affront.


Q. So, where can we find the country God desires?  

Which nation can become God's foothold?

God's eternal Kingdom on earth will be established based on our bloody sweat we shed for these people and country.

Such a country will create the blessed land that can be praised by our descendants in the thousands of years and generations to come.

God's country is composed of His direct blood descendants who receive Heaven's command and in His place will govern under God's kingship.  This was God's original Homeland before the fall.

There would be neither communism nor democracy in such an ideal country.  Once established, that nation will remain forever.

When we imagine such a nation, we should feel mortified that we are unable to be a citizen of such a heavenly country at the present moment.

We should lament that we have not become such a heavenly person, living in such a nation.

We must grieve over the fact that we do not have such an unchanging sovereignty.

During this process of building sovereignties, nations and territories, the human race has established sovereign nations.  We must remember and honor the fact that during this process millions died, many were sacrificed, many nations fell and sovereignties changed hands.

All these people who sacrificed, died, shed blood, and sad people did so to see a heavenly nation and world on earth.  They want to see such a nation come.

In this era, God sent His beloved true son and true daughter to the earth to establish one, absolute nation.

Until the present time, He could not prepare the foundation after Jesus' death to restore one nation.  This attempt has failed every time.

Thus God has worked throughout history to send His people to earth to manage, advance and accomplish this work.

It is sad to be a citizen of a country with no sovereignty. 

Jesus was concerned about this point.

He told others not to worry about where their food, drink, or clothes would come from.

He said that these small matters are what the ungodly worry about.

"Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. Instead, above everything else, be concerned with His Kingdom and with what He requires, and He will provide you with all these other things."

Jesus said to save your nation first.

The nation that God is seeking.  Jesus waits in paradise, not heaven.  Paradise is the waiting room to go to heaven. You enter heaven only with your family, not as an individual.

Jesus was unable to stand before God on the basis of establishing a national sovereignty that had the power to communicate directly between heaven and earth.

You cannot go to heaven alone.  Heaven is designed as the place where if Adam and Eve had not fallen, their sons and daughters would have gone to live together eternally as a family in heaven.

Why has it been so difficult until now for religious people to preserve their lives and had to sacrifice?

It was because they did not have a heavenly nation as a protective foundation.  There was no family, society, or nation that would help religious people.

If they had only found a nation with a sovereign, heavenly leader that would stand up and shout "Hey, you good for nothing, this is the right way!" then the people would respond, "Yes sir".

However kings and leaders who were centered completely on the heavenly law did not come forth.

There has been no heavenly leader or nation.

That is why these problems have occurred.

Religious people who hold the standard of the heavenly kingdom could not establish a nation and go beyond their own individual selves and problems.

Without a nation, no matter how good or happy your family is, evil people can destroy it. 

This is why we need to create or find a nation on which to stand.

Religious people have not been able to understand this.

We must find a nation of goodness.  This is the purpose of religion.

If you do not have a country that can uphold the standard of God, then there is no basis upon which to register.

We have to have a new registration after becoming one people centered on God's standard.

We need to establish heaven's nation on earth. 

Then, as victorious sons and daughters who are the citizens of that country, we must live together and care for our families and clans.

We become people who love that country and its people, and who receive the lineage of the Messiah.  This is how we enter heaven in spirit world.

This is the way of the Principle.

We need such a nation in order for the blood, sweat and tears we shed and our tradition to be bequeathed for the first time to our descendants for thousands of generations to come.

Thus, when it is established, a monument that will celebrate Heaven's efforts and glory will be erected on this ground.

If we are unable to establish such a nation, then all our efforts to restore the world will be in vain.

Because this nation has not been fully established, then the Christian world and all civilizations will be sent down the river and burned up.

Aren't you seeing such a trend among the religious foundations that have been established for thousands of years?  How effective have they been toward a world of peace?

This is how they have succumbed to Satan's game.  You must understand that the issue here is to establish a heavenly nation.

We will not find such a homeland in an existing nation which already has established its traditions and cultures centered on the fallen, material ways.

The nation which we seek is fundamentally a different dimension.

In order to qualify to inherit such a nation, we have to embrace an ideology that enables us to take on the subject role.

The underlying thought that will govern such a place has to be perfectly aligned with the absolute thought of the Creator.

God desires a nation whose citizens desire to unite under its sovereignty.  

Each citizen must have these characteristics and embody the form and shape of that nation to be a citizen.

To form a nation, there needs to be a territory, a people and a sovereignty.

Q. What is a sovereignty? 

It is the creation of a relationship with the original God.

The leadership of the nation must connect with God and then conduct the work of governing the nation.

When America could follow God's law it flourished above other countries in its infancy.

The sovereign leader must completely unite with the citizens of the nation.  There is no dictatorship in this nation.

By becoming one with the people, the sovereign leader can no longer think of anything as being for his own sake alone.

He must instead see everything as being for the sake of the nation.

Once this standard of leader is achieved, that nation will prosper and flourish.

To form a heavenly nation, you need a people, a territory: in place of the sovereignty is the parents, in place of the people are the sons and daughter, in place of the territory is the nation.

It is absolute principle that all these elements have to be present.

To establish a nation, there must be a sovereignty.

All people are included in this nation.

Q. Therefore, who will be the owner of heaven and the sovereign ruler when this heavenly nation on earth is established?

Without a doubt, God is the sovereign ruler.

Where will this territory be?  Will it be in heaven?

It will be built on planet earth.

All of your activities should be for the sake of seeking such a nation.

You should focus on being its founding loyal patriots, and restore our homeland.  Your mindset should be to shoulder such a mission.

You should think that you are part of the secret envoys of Heaven who receive such instructions to come to this evil world to fulfill this mission of building a heavenly nation.

If you do not do this, you will not be able to establish your prestige or dignity as a citizen of the nation we have been seeking.

Even though Satan sees that he is losing ground everyday on earth, do you think that he will just give up and turn around and automatically bow his head toward God's people who have passionately fought for God?

He has been playing havoc with God for thousands of years, he is not going to retreat easily.

He will doggedly fight to the end.

This is why we must not be distracted in these last days and stay focused on the central point.


If I, Rev. Moon of the Unification Church, stray from the center, I will be broken. If you do not set the right direction, there can be no development.


We must go out with barefeet if necessary to create the homeland.

Your left over resources are not enough to save this nation.

You do not save this nation by focusing on what food you are going to eat, what clothes to wear and what car to drive.

Therefore, we determine to pioneer with our bare hands and feet.  That is the type of work our church is doing.


Return for Tomorrow's Post:

This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook -  Cheon Seong Gyeong Book 13, Chapter 1, Section 1, 2

We Are Brothers, Sisters Without Parents

Throughout history, mankind has exerted all kinds of efforts to bring about world peace through war, religion, philosophy and political powers to no avail.

People had no way to truly and eternally unite.

This is because they were all brothers and sisters who were like orphans who have lost their parents to teach the true way of how one should be.

Humankind lost their parents when the first parents of humankind followed the wrong direction and could not pass down God's true path for living to their descendants on to us.

There was no way to unite our own minds and bodies centered on God without any trace of sin.  Therefore, there was not a path to unite with one another.

If parents had truly followed God and had sinless children, everything in history would have developed through the unconditional love of the original parents.

The first brothers and sister, Cain and Abel, would have united centered on their parents' love, but this could not be achieved.

Adam and Eve were unable to show their family the true love of God through example.

Everyone needs True Parents no matter what position they hold.

The reason God established the nation of Israel and the Jewish faith was in order to build a sturdy foundation of protection to receive the Messiah.

When the Jewish people could not follow Jesus to the end and could not follow him as God's son, God created Christianity in order to receive the Lord of the Second Advent.

The returning Lord will be called the True Parents because they will reverse the mistake of the fall of the first parents who brought sin into the bloodline.

For True Parents to appear is the hope of humankind, is the hope of history, the hope of the nations, the hope of philosophy, and the hope of the providence.

The True Parents coming to earth is what all of history has hoped for to reverse the sins of humanity and will only happen once.

You are alive to witness and breathe the same air as the True Parents.

What kind of people are the True Parents?

Do you think your parents are the same as True Parents without a trace of sin?

In terms of love, your parents have a different concept.

Your parents' love is centered on the earthly realm of living, while the love of True Parents teaches about love that is centered on the spiritual ream.

Therefore, the content is very different.

Democracy is an ideology of brotherhood.  Above that ideology is the parent-centered ideology.

Do you decide who will be your parents through an election?  You cannot.

Democracy has the basis to foster atmosphere of distrust.  Why?

Because people in politics have done all kinds of things for their own profit.  They use their money to mobilize manpower, plot against each other, slander them and so forth.

True Parents give birth to humankind through true love

You have been born with the sinful blood lineage of false parents who were chased away from Heaven with no connection to God or true parents.

In order to go in the opposite direction and cleanse this fallen lineage, you must trample that lineage again and again and pull it out again and again.

Without changing your satanic lineage at the most basic level in this way, you cannot enter the heavenly world.

In transforming the lineage, unless the condition for victory is fulfilled through binding God's love to the seed of the children of the future, God's child cannot be born in the future.  This is a logical certainty.

What kind of savior is the savior who is demanded by the fallen people?

He should be one with God's will and receive God's love and blessing in the position of unfallen parent.  He must be the savior who is able to give birth to humankind, otherwise people will not be able to disconnect to the original sin with him as the model to follow.

Even though the Messiah can change your lineage, you yourself have to attend, act and walk the bloody path in order to change it.

If you do not have such a standard, we cannot reach the path of salvation.  This is not achieved easily, but only in a situation where your life is at stake.

This change of blood lineage is possible only when you fulfill a forty-day fasting and prayer condition or experience a state of death in which you are vomiting blood - a cleansing of the sinful blood.

Why do we need True Parents?

We need to take root in the realm of the heart.

Now, there is a different root.  Through the Fall, the trunks and branches become different.  Now a new root of history has emerged.  A trunk and branches grew, and you are being engrafted to this true tree.

Therefore, in order to be recreated without traces of the fall, you should cut yourself down, reject your fallen acts and become engrafted.

You must remove everything from the satanic world down to the root.

Because history did not have the example of a perfected person, a person without the trace of the fall, there was no way for humanity to go in the right direction or see that their ways were fallen.

They needed an example of the true way to follow and that is through the coming of the True Parents.

What do we all desire?

We all want to welcome the True Parents who will establish a global nation.  Your sons and daughters would want to be born in the lineage of True Parents, not your own fallen, sinful lineage full of abuse, lies, disease problems and such.

Therefore, True Parents become the starting point of the new future.

True Parents should correct the false lineage, the root of the satanic world, reverse the false life which we live everyday, and open the true path away from the path of false love.

Once false love disappears, infidelity, divorce will disappear.

What does the paradox in the Bible mean, those who wish to die will live, and those who wish to live will die?

This is because as you walk this path of ridding yourself of the satanic blood lineage you must die, your humanistic, sinful self must die. But through this 'death', you live.

Those who cling to their fallen ways and live, ultimately die in spirit.  The world is full of people who are zombies without a soul enriched in God's love.

True Parents walked a tremendous path of suffering to lay a foundation for you and I to follow out of hell.

Complete salvation, which is no connection to satan or sin, is only possibly through True Parents.  Complete salvation is both spiritual and physical.

Jesus could only accomplish the spiritual realm of salvation, but he himself lost his own physical body to satan.

True Parents have brought salvation to our bodies as well, where we can have complete mind and body unity centered on God where Satan cannot invade.

No one can sever the relationship between True Parents and their True Children.

It is eternal and unchanging destiny.  There is only one path toward God, there is no secret method.  All of humanity from the President to the homeless man, must walk this path.

True Parents bring people of the world together who have walked this path to cleanse their fallen blood lineage and marry them together.

Therefore, they transcend racial differences, cultural differences and good people marry bad people.

True Parents deny evil love, evil life, and evil lineage, but they do not abandon Cain who disobeyed God and killed Abel, rather they bless him at the same level.

Therefore, 'bad' people as well will join in this dispensation, thereby completely expelling Satan from this earth.

The Fall occurred through the false marriage in the Garden of Eden. So, True Parents reverse this by marrying people in the proper way approved directly by God.

They sweep away the bad deeds of the false parents and abolish hell and carry out the work to bless billions of ancestors in the spirit world through the foundation of the earthly descendants which is based on true love.

Furthermore, through the foundation of such families, East and West form a connection.

We as God's adopted sons and daughters should connect to God's true son.

We must cut off the wild olive tree and engraft a bud from the true olive tree.  Then create a movement of wild olive trees becoming true olive trees.

You should first long for the Parents.

You receive salvation by attending the Parents based on their being your motivation for life, the entirety of your hope and the root of all your ideals and happiness.

You should have the conviction that you are a son or daughter who can become eternally one with True Parents.  Otherwise rebirth will not come.

You might think that you have your natural parents and you are fine?

Why do you need spiritual parents?

It is because you are fallen and you have no direct relationship or blood ties with God, thus passing on the fallen blood lineage of Satan.

What do false parents teach?

They have taught you the way to continuously deteriorate centered on yourself.

They have helped you chase away the better part, more than half of yourself.  This creates a clear line that keep you eternally bonded to the satanic world based on the false love of your parents.

There is no other way to cut this off other than attending the True Parents.

On the other hand, True Parents teach you greater and greater things on this foundation so that you can be fit for the heavenly kingdom.

They equip you with the tools so that you can keep in rhythm after you go to the eternal kingdom.  They teach you so that you will be able to breathe the air of love which is the atmosphere in the spirit world.

True Parents teach you the true way of God.

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.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: We Are Brothers, Sisters Without Parents

True God Cheon Seong Gyeong Book one Chapter One, section 7

The Three Great Loves

Has there been anyone in history who has practiced true love focused on parents, true love focused on husband and wife, and true love focused on brothers and sisters?

True love is absolute.

We express God's love through parental love, love of husband and wife and children's love.  These three great loves make it possible for human beings to exist forever.

These great loves are able to transcend even the loftiest human view of love.

When these loves are perfected without any traces of the fall, then happiness will be perfected.  Once these loves are lacking, then misfortunes sets in.

This is why we are happy when these three loves unite.  Can a motherless person feel true happiness?  Also for the person who does not have parents, the misery is equal to the emptiness he or she feels from that loss.

God's Laws of Love Centering on the Family

Can a fatherless person feel completely happy?

A person who grew up without a father will envy those who have a father.

Happiness leaves no room for envy.

This is true for love.

How can you say you are happy if you are wishing you had something someone else has?  You cannot be happy without a father and mother.

On the same token, no matter how great a man is or how much he has accomplished, he needs a woman.  He needs a wife.

When a husband and wife have lived happily together and then the husband suddenly passes, the wife will of course shed tears.

A woman cannot live without a man, and a man cannot live without a woman.  Also, no matter how happy a husband and wife may be together, they will be miserable if they do not have children.

But what if the parents have only one son and one daughter?  A son needs an elder sister and an elder brother.  A daughter needs an elder brother and an elder sister.  Furthermore, they each need a younger brother and sister.

Everyone needs elder and younger siblings.

Without having elder and younger siblings, the individual would be unhappy.  A family where the younger brother and sister and the elder brother and sister are all united will be protected by God.

This is because this family becomes the origin of the clan, which becomes a people of a nation.

My father, mother, elder brother, elder sister, younger brother, younger sister and me total seven people. This underlies the significance of the number seven as the number of perfection. You should know that I am talking here about perfection in reference to love. 

Why does seven represent perfection?

Why is it that creation of heaven and earth taught in Christianity also was completed based on the number seven?

It is because of this.

It is said that the number three is the number of heaven and four is the number of earth.  The number three establishes the father, mother and me.

Then what does the number four represent?  The number four refers to brothers and sisters.

The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit refer to Adam, Eve with God at the center.

The Father refers to the connection of top and bottom which is the vertical relationship.  Parents' love represents heaven and earth.

Your elder brothers and sisters refer to east and west.  Your younger brothers and sisters refer to north and south.

When these unite, a three-dimensional relationship is formed. 

This is the law of love.

All laws of science adhere to these mathematical principles because of this.  From God's laws of love is where the fundamental concepts of the Principle of Creation arise.  Once such laws of love are firmly established, then peace is realized.

The Reason Three Generations Must Co-exist in the Family

I am proposing that the grandfather, grandmother, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sisters-in-law and grandchildren all live together. Living together with God, the three generations of formation, growth and completion will settle down. 

You can love God only when you know how to love your grandfather - not just your father and mother.  Actually, you will love God when you can love your grandfather more than your father and mother.

Why is the husband, parents and children indispensable?  

It is because you can only attend God when you have all the members of your family.  The Principle states that you need to have parents to have sons and daughters.  Next a married couple and then a baby.  Why is all of this necessary.  Why can't we just attend God without family?

It is only logical that we need parents, a spouse, and children in order to form a relationship with God.  You have to know this clearly.  You have to form a relationship with someone.  Sometimes we're in the center.

Sometimes I must go above the other person, and sometimes we're on the same level with each other. In other words, I must form relationships in all four directions. Even in the case of a grandson, when he relates to his grandfather with love, his grandfather will say, "Oh, good! Very good!" 

We have been working hard to build such families based on this standard that focuses original love in order to establish the original world, heaven on earth.  It is amazing that this is being taught for the first time throughout the religious world.

Why does a wife cry when her husband dies?  Why do people weep because they do not have children?

They do not cry from disappointment.  They cry from the fundamental principle of the universe that makes it necessary to have relationships in all directions: east, west, north, south.

Everything is engaged in give in take.  The force of existence in the universe supports the ideal of reciprocation, interaction of two beings.

When one of these elements are missing, that give and take cannot happen.  Just as the North Pole and the South Pole interrelate with one another.

Nothing can exist without a partner. 

Ideal beings that have become completely one with each other, are supported by this universe.  It is a principle that heavenly fortune embraces such entities so that they can continue forever.

Everything cooperates in this give-and-take action.

That is why you need sons and daughters.

Today, Westerners accept the idea that having children is not necessary, but we can wait and see who is right in that department.  You will find out in the spirit world.

From the position where you stand, there is someone both above and below you.  You need the number three; you have to go through three stages.

This is why everything is made of three stages.  You need to have parents, your couple and children.  Not having children does not agree with the Principle of Heaven or God's purpose for creating the universe.

When this is divided into two, there are three stages for men and three corresponding stages for women.

When the two are united, an ideal world of peace can then be established with the unified number three.  In other words, it is an ideal that includes grandfather and grandmother.  Father and mother and me.

The family in the Church stems from this core belief.

We Imprisoned God's Heart

My own pain and grief are nothing. God has not been able to fulfill His role as God. You must understand that God's bitter tears which melt the marrow of His bones and His bloodstains which spread throughout the course of history are crying out from the ground.

I have been doing this work because I know that the mission remains to liberate God from His anguish.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon

Since humanity caused God such grief, we must liberate God who is confined by love.  It is the same as Him being in prison.

God has to be set free.

God intended for the ideal world to be established based on love, but it was snatched away by Satan.  Thus, God could not be liberated in heart from losing His ideal.  It is the same as a Father who prepares a beautiful nursery and life for his child, only for a the servant to run away with the newborn baby.

God lost His rightful position

How can God''s heart and mind be at rest when His beloved children have died?  With our own efforts, we should liberate God.  He is not free.  He is in confinement after He lost His sons and daughters.

Even if one has ten times the filial piety of the lost filial son, he cannot easily free the original heart of the the parent who lost His sons and daughter.  The situation is worse if he suffered the death of His son of filial piety.

I am going to liberate God.

Why is all-knowing, all powerful God full of grief and distress?

Those who work hard in this world during their youth are assured to enjoy a hopeful future.  God has painstakingly invested all of His efforts since the beginning of history, but when did He ever have hope in the world of peace He envisioned?

When has his dream ever been fulfilled?

How old do you think God is?  God transcends the universe, so He does not have an age.  God is beyond the solar system.  What is there to calculate?

God, who is our Parent, is unable to free Himself from lamentation unless all His children are free from lamentation.  How is it possible for even a human parent to live comfortably while their loving children live in anxiety?

This is why we should liberate God who is stuck in such a situation.

How is it possible to liberate God?

We are responsible to find the realm of liberation where God can freely love all of humankind.  Since humankind was corrupted through the Fall, we must liberate God by becoming children who are victorious over the Fall.

What happened because of the Fall?

After the first parents went against God's ideal, He was shackled and restrained and so were the first ancestors of the human race and the realm of angels.  Countless religious people and saints have struggled against these shackles along with all of humankind.

A child who does not demonstrate filial piety restrict their parents.  How can a parent have absolute freedom with their child who is not a true object partner of love?

The parents can only be liberated when the child displays filial piety that is greater than his impiety.  He also must be officially recognized by the general public.  Only then will he be able to cleanse himself from his past sins.

This is heavenly law.


By the same principle, I do not need people who say, "I will live only for you, Father." The neighbors, this nation, this people -- they are all a pitiable lot.  I am glad they will attend both parents, but why live in a small cottage for tens of thousands of years for parents? They are a pitiable people. 


We must guide those pitiable people who are penniless and poor.  Also those who have failed to obtain God's blessings, where will they go and live without someone to care for their well-being?

God could not function as God

We must persist on this path to restore humanity's pitiful situation to an ideal world until the planet Earth, the spirit world, and ultimately the heart of God is liberated.

We must ultimately liberate humankind, the spirit world and God. 

If loving parents have a rebellious son, their hearts will not be liberated until they see that child rise to a position where he freely fills his parents' expectation of a filial child.

This is probably the first time you are hearing this.  We throughout religious history have sought God to liberate us from our dire situations, but in fact, we have to liberate God.

We should know and understand that God's true heart has been restrained and needs to be freed.

God had created Adam and Eve as His greatest partners of love.  Humanity is God's partners of love.  In the vertical position they have a parent-child relationship with God.  Horizontally they were created to become husband and wife centered on God.

Then God would have been able to practice all the ideals of love in heaven and on earth.  Yet, when Adam and Eve did not center their love on God, He lost everything and ended up in prison.

How is that possible?

God is a being of love, without His object partners to give and take with love, He is kept from truly expressing the desires of His heart.  It is the same as a spouse who has run away from their responsibilities.

If one has not established a base of heaven while on earth, there is no foundation for him to go to heaven in spirit world.  As the Bible says, what is loosed on earth is also loosed in Heaven.  You must experience the four realms of heart while of earth before entering spirit world.

Father Moon speaks of His heartfelt experiences with God while imprisoned in North Korea for teaching Christianity:

"Even when I went to prison and manacles were placed on my wrists, they could not restrain me because I had love. When I was in a cramped position that made it hard to sleep, I woke up at night to find light shining from my hand. Why was there light? It was because God was embracing me. I discovered His love.

That is why light could shine even in that dark room. If I sat quietly and reverently in the corner of a prison cell after hearing someone groaning and crying, the following day people would give me packets of rice powder. 

They had heard a distant voice, 'If you don't give this food to this particular prisoner, all the prisoners and even your family will be uncomfortable.'  Therefore they followed."

Rev. Moon

God is a God of love.

Members, therefore should not be an ungrateful group of people who persecute such a God, during the times of suffering.

God has searched for thousands of years for a people that thirst for faith and hope burning with love that want to unshackle God on the account of humankind.

He looked for people who say, "God was accused by Satan because of me; He was imprisoned because of me; Jesus died on the cross because of me; the Holy Spirit went through a bloody history of struggle on my behalf.

God please give me strength.  I will bring rest and liberation to the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit."

God had no foundation on which to stand because there was not a devoted son through which people could uphold the heavenly kingdom by fulfilling the way of a loyal subject, saint and divine son or daughter.

If God and Satan were fighting, who would stop the fight?  Would the fight just automatically end between the two?

Is it possible that just one day Satan will surrender on his own and the world would automatically enjoy peace?

God has carried the sorrow in His heart from the situation of the heavenly kingdom.  God has been incarcerated and confined from exalting His absolute love and authority upon the earth.

Do you know of any grandfather or grandmother which God has been seeking for thousands of years?  What about a mother or father, a wife or husband who God has searched for?  Have you ever met a true son or a daughter whom God is seeking?

Because of the fall, you have not met such a person.  Who can sever the chains which have bound this heart?  How will we be able to dissolve the bitterness of this quest?

God can do anything at will, but because of the reality of unprincipled love His hands have been tied. 

Who has ever known how much He has suffered under lasting regret and sorrow?  Who understands how unimaginably weary he is?

People in the church pews cry out for the God of glory to give them blessings.  But God is not that kind of God.  On the contrary, God is a miserable God.

God's sorrowful situation can be liberated through the birth of a son.

Hence, you must liberate God.

If you are not able to free God from the pains of humanity's fall, then there is no way to create the heavenly path and make straight a way for the ideal world to be established on earth.  This is the history and the mission of the Unification movement to rectify this fallen history.

These core teachings, sermons and words can liberate God's heart.  God is suffering in grief because of the Fall.

From the outset, the history of such lamentation has been a global one.

Thus, Paul has said that all of the creation, our ancestors and each of us wait in eager longing for the appearance of God's true sons and daughters.

We are living in the age where the truth which the Book of Revelations speaks about is being revealed.  Through the practice of these teachings we will separate ourselves and God from that realm of grieving.

How to Become the Central Figure

The person who sacrifices the most becomes the central figure.

Today's young people do not understand or realize this simple truth.  The one who sacrifices the most in the family becomes the filial son.

A patriot will become the central figure to the nation because he sacrifices more.  A sage that sacrifices more than the others will become the central figure of the sages.

This is the heavenly law.  Youth who can harmonize with heaven, humankind, and all things, new sprouts of hope will appear wherever this kind of youth goes.

Youth is the place where God's hope builds a nest.  

These youth is the place where God's power of love increases.  We must know this amazing fact.

Young people are the persons in the subject position that can carry out the reformation for God. University students who are to do the work of restoring universities cannot be blessed in the fallen state that they are currently living.

The wife will compete with the husband after he says just one word.  She will say that she can do everything just as well as men.  This is not good.  This behavior in the marriage only hurts you.

We study God's word to become better people in order to meet a true man and to become a true wife and mother.  To become a true mother, you should study for the sake of the nation.  You must serve your husband as a true husband and you must become a true wife who serves a true husband.

Do we see these kind of marriages these days or do we see the wife and husband constantly in competition for who should be served?

A woman who cannot serve a true husband centered on God, you will not bare a true son.  

Women should become true wives.  As a housewife of a family, you must live together with your husband till old age.  If you are studying how to be a true wife, when you graduate, you could stay with your husband until your old age.

Do many people in America live until they are elderly as husband and wives or do they divorce?  Without doing any research, we can clearly see that those that don't have degrees or are illiterate seem to live together with their spouses longer.


The Standard Sung Hwa Students Must Maintain

The reason why university campuses are falling into immorality like Adam and Eve fell when they were teenagers is we are living in the time of harvest.  Humanity is reaping the fruits of fallen history and not a true history which God intended.  This is why you are witnessing the destruction of adolescence.

The Messiah returns in these days to restore the fall according to heavenly law.

Once students go away to university, there are many temptations.  It is easy for them to be pushed around in different directions. This is why young men should not readily hold hands with young women.

Even by just sitting still, you must become a group that cannot be ignored by the environment.

There once was a time when it was announced on the radio that young people had to go home before 10 o'clock, right?

If you are a university student, you must be the central person who will take responsibility in the future and lead the nation.

In order to lead toward a world of goodness, there must be a standard to follow.  By centering yourself on the Principle, universal law,  you can move freely backwards and forward.

Which side do you think you are on?  The good side or the evil side?

When you look at the word 'satan' in Korean, sa means 'to buy' and tan means 'to ride'.  Who buys?  You are the people who are going to be bought.  If you are stolen by Satan, how can you raise your head to a high position and stand tall?

Sung Hwa students already know their destination has been set after graduation.  It is best to not think of other things.  You should not use your hands, eyes, nose, body and mind recklessly.  You will stand in the vanguard holding a beacon for the salvation of the nation. From there, a new history begins.


Restoration of the Nation

How can the morality of this nation be restored instantly?

The male and female university students must become one and stand at the forefront of the nation.  When you view the principle, you know which direction you should go.  You should go in the place of your elder and younger brother from a long time ago.

Jesus came to bring not just Heaven in Heaven, but to bring Heaven on Earth.  This means salvation not just only in spirit, but also the flesh will be liberated which carries the blood lineage of sin.  This was Jesus' hope. But instead, he lost his physical body and could not bring salvation except in spirit only.

This explains why Jesus asked God at first to let the cup of death pass him, because he was very aware of how Israel and people of faith would be persecuted and walk a bloody path until his return in our time.

We must dissolve Jesus' sorrowful resentment deep in his heart which he experienced during his adolescence due to the faithlessness of the prepared  people of Israel.

As you walk the path which the Messiah laid, you must overcome Jesus' lonely and miserable situation when he was persecuted and kicked out alone.

When you are able to do this, it will be like you are triumphant in the boxing ring going against Satan.

This is Heaven's law to accomplish indemnity and resolve the historical resentment.Those who oppose going this way will perish;those of you who are receiving that opposition will not perish. If you just believe and go forward, you will never be forced out. Just overcome for three years treading forward.


After Graduation, the Way of the Will Is More Important than Finding a Job


Let us sit and think for a moment about the existence of 'I'.  Let us think about ourselves for awhile.  Where did this existence of 'I' come from?  How have I lived from the past until now?

You attended kindergarten, primary school, junior high, high school and university, but where are you headed?  From this point, there is a course which tells from where and to where we are to go.  This course we must go by any means.

The general goal of university graduates its to get a great position in a company or a bank and make a pretty good salary.  This is their final goal.   Once that foundation is solid, the next step is they think they want to meet a beautiful partner and have children.

In this process, there are no concerns for humankind or for anything higher.  What would you become if you live like this?

Thoughts about salary and receiving so much money is actually trivial things that doesn't amount to blowing your nose.  Do you want to become a slave of money after graduation:?

If you don't want to be a man chasing after a salary or a slave of money, what are you going to do?  Wouldn't you become a boss?

You cannot be included in the group of humanity if you say you cannot go the Way of the Will because of a job opportunity.

The youth of today are very concerned about money, making this much dollars, jobs this, jobs that.  To them, getting and having a job is more important than anything else.  Can you relate to this mentality?

Young people, especially those who attend university think only centering upon their own ideas of how to succeed in their own country and how to realize a happy life.

Those who follow God's will must not be like that.

You must think for the sake of the people and the world based on the moral ethic of a higher dimension more than your own happiness.  From the Principle viewpoint, you must have the consciousness to carry out a central mission.

You must broaden your view of happiness beyond obtaining material and view it from that higher dimension and practice it.  This follows the principle of living for the sake of others.
