Recreate the Ideal World

Moonies today have indisputable notoriety; realizing that the communist cause will ultimately lose to the Moonies, communists urge people not to even meet us by making them afraid of being brainwashed. In Asia it is rumored that a person can be brainwashed by merely looking at a Moonie. That is really a satanic idea.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon

The purpose of creation is God's ideal and you should be teaching the people God's ideal by your action. 

God always had His true ideal for creation since the beginning, but man fell away from this ideal of God.  Now we are living in the age of recreating it.

When we teach the ideal way of living and world, then we can recreate other people.

When the ideal is complete,  you can claim your share of the credit before God.  As co-creator, you can insist God bring you everywhere He goes and He will have to agree.

This is how we truly claim sonship and daughtership of God.  Are you satisfied with just adopted son and daughter after the fall?  If you are not content with this relationship status, then you must work harder than the son to qualify as His true daughter.

When you look through the Bible, you can surmise that Jesus really only taught a few points.

You might think it is nice to have the ideal world, but you may dislike the activity which is involved.  Would you move quietly or with a loud bang?

When a steam locomotive whizzes through town, everybody cannot help but hear it.  Would you move slow or swiftly.  When you move fast you cannot help but make noise.

Also, though it becomes danger and someone is bound to say slow down, but others will say there is no other way to get something done in this country, so those people will follow you.  Then the youth will be encouraged to move faster than you. This is the way it ought to be.

We really have to move ahead, not thinking so much of peripheral things. 

First, we must get the work done.

When God investigates the earth, He would see if you were moving faster than Jesus did 2,000 years ago and doing more.  God would be fascinated by such people.

Until now, without such people, God has only been hearing prayers and request from people who never took such action.  God is plugging His ears to such selfish prayers.

God has heard many people talking, but not seen them doing true work of restoring the world.  When He looks out and observes the world and He see that someone is moving really fast, His eyes will pop open and He will take notice.

Moonies don't spend that much time praying to find out what their next move is, because they already know, therefore, they are constantly on the move.

When God looks at them, He will be inspired to unplug His ears and to listen to such urgent prayers.

When you prove that you really run, God will be on the alert to listen to your sincere prayer.

Although you are moving quickly now, will you be successful or not in the end?

God has heard many sincere prayers, but every one of them failed.

If you were God, would you have such unreserved confidence for a new group to succeed where everyone else has failed?

God has had many hopes in the past and his saints have failed in fully completing their mission of restoring the world.

You must determine to think that you will never disappoint God, and do much to gain His attention.

You can tell God that He can unplug His ears and open His eyes, because you will make it and win victory for His cause.

We have to give God that confidence.  Wouldn't those in spirit world want to help you out when they see you working hard in this manner for the public purpose?

You have promised so many things in the past, and are confident right now to finish the job, but soon you revert back to your old thinking and ways, wouldn't you?

Of course everyone has their ups and downs, but the ups should be higher than ever before and your lows should not be as low as before.

When you first joined you were full of enthusiasm and hope, but when someone hurts you doesn't your enthusiasm dwindle a little?  By the time they hit you, don't you yell at them no matter how religious you are?

Because we have a sinful, fallen nature, you are bound to respond in a fallen manner.

If you never experience such behavior, then you are a saint and have no need of God or for religious teachings anymore.  But, don't you need these teachings to a certain extent?

Even people who were so determined to follow this path that they wrote a pledge in their own blood, fell away when their expectations were not met.

For instance, when it came time to be matched with a spouse in the church, they did not care so much for that person and may hope the person die so they could chose another.

You must learn first to fight against the untrustworthy self which is inside.

Especially young beautiful people who worry about their figure.

A good figure could be your worst enemy. Satan loves this kind of behavior and will keep dwelling in such things.  That is really true, but our society is unaware of how this works.

Especially beautiful young people worry about working too hard and spoiling their figure and Satan will keep dwelling on these things. That is really true. That is absolutely true!

Even having a great talent or a degree from a school can be as hooks to reel you away from God.

Within each of us, there are many obstacles which we have to overcome to come closer to God.

One rule helps: forget yourself.

Any concept of our own thinking will only hinder God's will.  We have to go along with His ideal.  We have to be able to digest any kind of personality we meet.

You will prosper if you can digest any kind of person and situation that can be seen as a barrier.

God supports such a mind; when God pays attention to what you do, then you can only prosper.

Centering on your mind, the fallen body can be digested. 

Once you can say that your mind and body are one, you can say you have a God-­centered personality and God will stay with you.

When you finally have unity of your good mind directing your body, then you can say that you have a God-centered personality and then God can stay with you.  Then other kinds of unity will come easily and will be possible centering around you.

Unless we have unity of our mind and body, there is no hope for anything greater.

Before we can talk about conquering the world, we need to first conquer the war within ourselves.

We can observe, digest and make unity even though some tasks will be incredibly difficult.

These things go hand and hand for prosperous people.

If we don't seriously overcome these situation, dreadful things will happen.

A racial war can erupt and a whole race can be wiped out.  But if a strong group can offer a solution to humanity's problems, then God would have to support that group.

The master of all things will be the first person to observe the situation, digest it and make unity. 

Before unity can come, we must first observe and digest the matter.  We have to see both sides and understand this.

There are two ways to obtain unity:  first, you have a clear understanding and clearly teach someone, you are observing and digesting them.  Second, if your thinking is clear, you can serve him and later be accepted by him.

When you are finally recognized as being better than others, people will start to follow you.  This is the main reason Jesus taught to serve and sacrifice for others.  By doing this, you do not go down, but you become the subject instead of the object.

In obedience, service and sacrifice, you will become subject of all things and be on the rise all the time.

But this teaching of service and sacrifice isn't enough to bring world peace.

Before, we could only serve and sacrifice, but if you teach someone the truth and yet they do not follow, you can show them through action.

Better yet, if he doesn't accept the truth then you are able to serve and sacrifice. This is the Principle.

You want to prosper, but there is no other way to rise other than uniting into one.

So, how do you attain unity?

Through observing and digesting.

Sometimes bitterness is felt before something is digested and then indigestion follows.  Then you try again.  Before you can develop, you have to have unity, so we should be desperate to find unity in this work.

Adam and Eve fell when they did not observe and digest the situation.

We are each in a similar situation today as we are on the verge of being restored to God's ideal position from our fallen selves.

Just because someone opposes you, do you have to oppose him?  You must digest any problems this person presents.  When you can overcome that type of person, this is when the complete foundation of your true personality is being laid.

When you witness and knock on the door, you may be persecuted, but that time comes after you knock and they open the door so don't worry about knocking.

The people might welcome you into their home and invite you to dinner, or they may have had spiritual messages from spirit world about your coming.  If you are afraid to knock on the door, then knock with your feet.

Even the best people in any area experience all of these emotions, too, not just people who have difficulty in their mission.

When you train yourself in fund raising you can think of your fist as a flower. When you train yourself this way then when you have real flowers you will do very well when you sell flowers as a fundraising campaign..

This is how we develop.

When we are presented with an ideal that is great and too high, it is more difficult to digest.

You will have to open you mouth wide to digest and you may die.  But at least it is better than dying and never having swallowed a difficult situation.

The world of men is unknown to the women and they cannot hope to understand it, so as brides, they should just obey.  On the same matter, if black and whites can digest each other, America will really prosper.

By making unity in this difficult situation you develop; love comes with unity and prosperity will follow 

People wonder why uniting is necessary.  Why can't each race unite separately and report to God?  God is not this way.  God will only give his approval when whites can say that they love blacks and Asians.

If there is a group that can make this kind of unity, He will dwell with this group.  This church would be eternal in His sight.

If you don't become one then you will perish.

God wants to bring everything into unity, while Satan wants you to think only of yourself.  A person who cannot observe and digest other people, they cannot go beyond the starting point, but will stay in one place and decline from there.

We should know clearly that our number one mission is to unify; before we can do this, we must observe and digest.  This law applies on every level of family, society, nation and world.

You should become this type of character and become subject of the whole world, being appreciated by God and respected by all mankind.  This is done through your foundation of witnessing 360 homes in your area.

Would you do this kind of work with intensity or slowly and gradually over the years?  This is a simple principle that applies at every level and by applying it you will do your mission.

When the brain gives a direction to the foot or hand, the rest of the body focuses there.

If the hands are the first to digest the situation then the rest of the body will focus on them. The first one to achieve that unity will be the subject of everyone else.

This person will meet God and God's love sooner than others.  Because we are the pioneers to meet God first we go this difficult path.

If it is raining when you have to do your mission, it should not matter.  You must observe the rainy situation and digest it.  How much encouragement and consolation can you find in this kind of thinking!

You become subject of all mankind who can work in this kind of weather, then working in rainy weather becomes very nice.

If you don't have enough clothes to wear throughout the week, then you digest this situation and feel the same as if you had nice things.

When you have less food, instead of complaining you can handle the situation.

When you can practice this all the time, you will bring unity in a wide area.  Then you will receive a reward from God.  What a sight it would be to see white people cry as they see black people off on their trip, missing them.

Also, it would be beautiful to see black people missing white brothers and sisters.

God's attention could not draw anywhere else but this dramatic scene.  All of His attention, would focus there, hoping it would last.

Depending on how much we can observe and digest difficult situations, we can attain much unity.

When the day comes on earth when we experience happiness and God can rest for the first time, mankind will experience true happiness.

Are we able to do this?  Let us pray.

Why God Made Men/Women Opposites

Men are from Mars and women are from Venus.  He is heavy into sports, is a doer and doesn't like to talk about feelings and women are - well majority are just the opposite.  Yet, God built these two entities to forever live together within love.

Can you see the ideal love that God wished for in the beginning with your eyes?  Do you look at a well-built man and think that he has the ideal love God has been wanting?  We naturally say no, but don't we women naturally see a handsome and attractive man and think that he possesses a greater love to give to someone else just based upon his looks? 

What about an attractive woman, does she possess more love than an unattractive woman?  God is fair and does not give all qualities to one person.  An attractive person has a flat love while others have a round type of love.  Chances are an attractive woman has considerably less love to give than a woman who is not beautiful.  A less attractive woman more likely has more pure and true love to give than a beautiful woman.

If opposites attract, how ideal is it when two people with similar qualities marry?  The best match in marriage is between two people with different qualities.  This couple will encompass the qualities of different varieties of people and when they unite in oneness, they will be able to relate to more people. 

For instance, if two musicians marry, this is a flat relationship compared to a musician and a scientist marrying who can relate to more fields of people by learning and gaining qualities from one another.  We all desire to see and be a part of an ideal couple.  What about a tall attractive man and a short round plain woman, how can such people have to harmonize centered on one quality.  Would this be wealth and fame?  The only element that can unify two opposites is True Love.

There are much more important qualities of a woman to which a man can pay attention than her eyes, nose, hip or hair.  What kind of of mate does everyone prefer?  Everyone wants the most attractive and successful.  God is ideal and He rather see a beautiful woman marry an ugly man. 
 

"Actually, if a woman marries a very handsome man, she will probably have to endure a lot of worries! She might wonder, "Will some other woman be chasing after him?" and she will not be able to relax!"

Women in the secular world pursue the most handsome men and will do anything to get their love. When a woman marries a handsome man, she will constantly worry when he is late coming home that he might not be faithful.

A handsome who marries a beautiful woman can have the same worries, especially if she spends much time preparing her make-up, clothes and hair.  He might wonder, "Who is she trying to impress?". And he will worry more when she goes out without him looking fancy.  Men and women are more attracted to a person who takes care of their looks especially men who are more physically oriented, therefore, the world is full of dangers for the beautiful woman and man.

The man with a beautiful wife may start out with a lot of affection for her, but his worries will increase the longer they are married.  However, the spouse who marries an average looking person are free from such worries.  If their homely-looking spouse leaves for two or three days, they will not worry so much and think there is a reason for their absence.

On the other hand, the man with an average-looking wife may only have to worry in the beginning about how he will learn to love her. But then, as they continue their life together that worry diminishes to nothing.

An attractive woman will worry her husband over the little things.  Every move she makes will be a source for his suspicion and he will wrestle with these thoughts endlessly.  Even if she buys a new pack of pens, he will wonder what her ulterior motive was for buying that many pens. 

The smallest difference in any action such as beginning to polish her toenails or spending an extra five minutes in front of mirror before leaving for work.  A nagging fear will build inside of him, "She never used to spend so much time in the mirror.  What made her change?"

Here is the lesson:

"We must be able to distinguish true value within a person regardless of what that person looks like...  Certainly, we are striving for ideal families but what is the definition of that ideal? Is the marriage of a white man with a white woman necessarily the most ideal way? Actually, the most ideal way would be for a beautiful white American to go to Africa and find his or her spouse there. Such a bringing together of contrasts would be closest to the ideal." SMM

We stand on earth looking up to the highest ideals of Heaven which is the ideal husband and wife.  A woman shouldn't look down on a man and a man shouldn't look down on a woman because a woman is an absolute necessity for a man to reach perfection.  What do we see as the world trend as men and women go opposite of this natural law and challenging it. Men try to legally marry other men, isn't this true?

Why did God make it where men need women?

It is the way men and women grow and the way we were created;it is beyond your choice.  Women were created with certain indentations, while men have certain protrusions. 

What is marriage?  It is where these two differing shapes and characters of man and woman come together within unity under God's direction.  We see this in nature without exception and this is the way God created the world no matter how much man tries to change this direction.

As said before, God is fair in the attributions He gives His creation.  The man protrudes in one place and the woman protrudes in another.  The man's shoulder are broader up high while the woman's hips are broader beneath.  This balance in nature is attractive.  This harmony which God originated is displayed throughout the entire universe.

The waves on the ocean do not follow a straight line but rather a curved one. However, the wind blows in a straight, simple direction. People enjoy seeing the leaves on a tree swaying in the wind; when a tree is stark still, it is not as stimulating to look at.

Air density varies in different places. When a sparse area of air hits a dense area, it is pushed up or down. It is natural that there be a certain amount of wind on the earth; when the air is perfectly still, it doesn't feel natural or comfortable.

When we ask whether you prefer to live in a high, lofty place or a deep low place the women would answer "deep" and the men would answer "high". 

Simply, how are men and women different?  One side is "protruded" and the other is "indented".  Who is the one who is truly determined that man is the subject and the woman is object in relation to one another?  God is the one who decided that man is the subject.

Why did God position woman as the object?  She is in the position to receive like a "receptacle".  If a woman is not in that position, babies cannot grow inside of her.  The rain falls and the earth receives it- the sky in the high position does not receive the rain, it gives it. 

This is why woman represents earth and man the sky and heaven.  The most natural position for a loving man and woman is for the man to be above the woman and the woman naturally receives from the man.   

Since we are all part of the created universe, we need to begin to understand the laws of the universe and begin to follow and align to it.  The man naturally gives to the woman, however, the woman should always think about the man's welfare in order to harmonize with the universe.  Without a man, the woman cannot achieve that harmony.

What makes a mountain more famous to climb than an average mountain? 

First, famous mountains tend to be very high, then it would be well that it has a variety of slopes making it a challenge for even the most seasoned climbers to tackle.  Which man do women prefer most? 

A man who is fun and versatile, or a simple man who is predictable?  Women are naturally attracted to variety.  Men naturally prefer a woman of simplicity.  It is important that a woman be simplistic, yet has various qualities.  This simplicity in a woman is her best virtue.  A woman should be deep, but be uncomplicated.

"Why is the Unification Church a good and high religion? If you compared it with our description of a famous mountain, you could say the same-it has lots of variety. To go through the way of faith of the Unification Church is a difficult thing. You may sit here listening to me for several hours but once you stand up, you have to run back to your mission. There is no in-between."

When you come in contact with a Moonie, or Unification Church member founded by Rev. Moon, you will see that similar characteristics whether you meet a member in Bangkok or America. 

This Eastern concept may be looked down upon by many in America who fight for their individuality and leaders would say, "I have my own style so I don't need anyone else's."  Americans may look down upon the Oriental way of life as inferior to the American one.  Yet, the Western way of individuality can not be embraced by the whole world, only the Eastern way must be incorporated together with it.  Then the whole world will be covered.

Mass Weddings: World Peace Through Marriage

What is the distinction of God-given marriages and current ones?  Simply, the first marriage was outside of God's dominion and has been ever since.  We are blessed to our spouses in a 'conditional' marriage before God.  A True God-Given marriage sanctified and given approval by God will cleanse the blood lineage of the children and they will be born free of sin. 

Who has been in a marriage that has such a blessing? Every human was born into the bloodline of Satan's lineage, whose word we followed instead of God's, except Jesus.  Also, we have stated in several posts that Jesus was to plant God's seed substantially on earth through his holy blessed marriage directly sanctified by God and produce - Holy Sinless Children.  This was God's first choice. 

These two paragraphs alone explain a considerable amount about biblical history: why Jesus begged to stay on earth if it was God's will, why God dispersed the Israelites after they murdered Jesus and why Jesus returned in our time.

Since Jesus could not marry, he could only set the foundation for spiritual salvation, Jesus returned to the earth in our time to complete his mission to cleanse the bloodline through his holy children leaving the foundation for humanity to have physical salvation.  Who can deny that Jesus, no matter how holy, lost the battle of his body to satan.  This has to be reversed.

God’s desire is to end human suffering and build a world of true, peaceful families. God needs for us to take care of our portion of responsibility. If humankind receives and acts decisively upon God’s message, the achievement of God’s Kingdom will be relatively swift and joyful. If not, God’s and humanity’s suffering will be prolonged, and the misery and needless deaths will continue.

 
Blessing of Marriage by True Love

Then how can God’s headache be solved? How can families become fundamentally healthy? How can divided religions reconcile and cooperate under God? That answer is in the international Marriage Blessing Ceremony. The Messiah upon his return, Dr. Reverend Sun Myung Moon and his wife, began officiating blessing of marriage ceremonies starting with three couples in 1960.

With God’s help and going beyond nation, race, and religion, the blessing ceremony of 39.6 million couples, promising purity and fidelity, was carried out in Korea at one time.  This phenom has been titled Mass Wedding or Moonie Wedding ceremonies.



Here is an excerpt from one blessing ceremony:

"Respected leaders! I only want to stress once again that, through the Marriage Blessing, the world’s families can stabilize and finally fulfill their original role. For true family to be restored, we have to establish true love character, we have to attend God, and we have to seriously pledge to become true couples and true parents. Those harmonious families that are restored to the ideal through the Marriage Blessing Ceremony can create a peaceful society, nations, and world.
"This Marriage Blessing that encompasses all nations, races, and religions and goes beyond all boundaries is itself the foundation for world peace. Is this not God’s desire? That this miraculous number of families – almost 40 million! – can participate in this blessing of marriage is because of the active support of the world’s religious leaders. It was also made possible because many national leaders agreed that this true family movement can cure the fundamental teenage problems and the breakdown of families, and they have actively supported it. I would like once again to thank all the volunteers.

"The Marriage Blessing Ceremony can awaken people, especially young people, to the value of true love, and it can become the motive and catalyst for them to realize the necessity of absolute purity. All the world’s good young men and women who are awakened through this movement should gather together to stand up for a true love revolution, establishing themselves as eternal couples under God’s blessing.

"All these new families can receive support from already married couples who have renewed their vows before God and practice right ethics, and they can all become examples of moral citizens and build an ideal family, society, nation, and world – the fruit of true love.

"The Marriage Blessing Ceremony eradicates the connection to false (satan's) love and brings to life the holy content and value of marriage centered on absoluteness. This ceremony recovers true couples’ love, true parents’ love, and true children’s love. Therefore, those who participate in the Marriage Blessing Ceremony value purity and trust as highly as they do their lives and promise unchanging couple’s love.

"On the foundation of that true love, they can establish a true family, raise true children, and pledge to sacrifice themselves to build a true nation and peaceful world. In the world of the future, God, humankind, and creation are in harmony, living in a new culture of heart, a culture of love centered on true family.

"In the world of the future, true love means living for the sake of others in a world of interdependence, mutual prosperity, universally shared values, and cooperation. In the future, the natural desire of young people to live in a world of true brothers and sisters, one family of mankind, will be realized by centering on true love, true parents, and true family.

"Esteemed world leaders, the Marriage Blessing is the most precious gift that God is giving to us. My wife and I devoutly hope that you will participate in this historic ceremony to receive God’s blessing of marriage. From now on, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification will expand the true family movement. By the year 2001 we will carry out the 360 million couples blessing in three different events. Because of immorality and the loss of values, our young people are falling into moral decadence, and the family is being utterly destroyed.

"Is there anything more important than saving humanity from plunging into ruin? My effort to globalize and universalize the True Family Movement and the Marriage Blessing Ceremony, which are the fundamental solutions to save humanity, needs the active support from respected leaders like you.

 "Those who understand the fundamental problem and the solution God is offering should band together within their country and form a True Family Marriage Blessing support group and create a movement to save your nation. I ask that you put yourselves at the center of this great work to restore humankind to its original ideal. We have to quickly educate all men and women so they can establish true families and enter into the age of God-centered kingship on earth and heaven, centered on true love, and live in the victorious world of freedom, peace, and unity."

World Peace Leader Fights For Life, Dies Today at 92

Yes, the very one who broke several records marrying millions of couples at one time, gave over 20-hour speeches without even a water or bathroom break, and has grown the largest religious movement during the time of the founder.

The well-loved Dr. Reverend Sun Young Myung passed early today near his home in Korea.

He is also, the very one whom I write this entire blog based on his teachings.  I will continue to release aticles because he lived his entire life desperate to get God's message of the Completed Testament out to us all.  Thanks for your prayers and learn more about him at Unifiication News
