Creation or Evolution?

The greatest question or debate in the scientific world today is whether the universe is the result of evolution or created by someone's will.  People want to know what is the purpose of life and whether they evolved through random mutation haphazardly.

Then, if evolution is true, who determines its direction?

Evolution heads towards a higher state of development. Does each element determine its own goal?

Does each being know where it is going to advance next? Evolution needs the input of new energy to develop into a higher state. How does the process of evolution obtain its energy?

Today's science is totally deadlocked in this area. Even if the level of development is different, all things-grass, rocks, trees, etc. aspire in some way to be like God, who exists in dual essentialities.

All the things of creation focus on one center and are concentrated into one microcosm-human beings. All the elements of the entire universe were assembled and compacted into one little shape: a human being.

Each smaller plus and minus combines into bigger elements, forming higher and greater existences. The basic qualification for being absorbed or harmonized by a higher being is absolute internal harmony and balance between plus and minus. A harmonized plus and minus resembles God, who is perfect harmony.

The Principle states that wherever a perfect plus exists, it will automatically attract a perfect minus.

When a greater plus appears, the smaller minus becomes a greater minus in order to become worthy of complementing the greater plus.

The minus thus grows to create balance.  Suppose the minus is not large enough to balance a very large plus, how will it create balance?  Balance is created through another small minus, and with it will grow in stature.

Evolution is a theory that is an external observation of internal processes within creation.  It analyzes phenomena after the fact, but it cannot show internally that there is always a will and a goal at work.  Through give and take action, a new higher being is created.

All the elements of the universe revolve around God.

Even in our own body, one cell does not remain in one organ, but it circulates all over the body, from toe to brain.

Blood is a harmonizer.  It travels throughout the body and blends with all its elements.  Also, the nerves bring all the cells and organs into harmony.

We can compare the process of spiritual growth to the educational process.  We start in life as a little being who wants to become higher and larger since we want to resemble God, who is the highest being of all.

Children go through elementary school, but they are not satisfied with just that level.

They want to continue through high school and perhaps go to college and graduate school.

When he finally gets his Ph.D., he might turn around and put down his 'lower-level' education and say it was a waste of time.  He wouldn't be able to do this because his experiences at the earlier levels, formed  the foundation for his Ph.D. work.  They harmonious with the higher education.

From balance comes harmony, cooperation and advancement.

Communism proclaims that development comes about through struggle and confrontation, but this is a lie.
This is exactly opposite of God's ideal.

How is it possible for higher beings to develop through such disharmony and struggle?

Only balance, cooperation and harmony can bring about growth and development.

With this simple principle, we are able to evaluate the errors in the evolution theory.  We can also show that the ideology of communism, birthed from evolution theory, is based upon falsehood.

The Divine Principle stresses that God exists with dual essentialities.  This sounds very simple, but nothing grows without the interaction of a subject and object, a pair system.

The greatest historical question has just been answered whether the world was created or is the result of evolution.

The universe was created is the most logical answer.

Since everything in creation has a direction and goal, when one aspires toward their goal and takes action, energy arises that enables them to reach that goal.

Thus, it is logical to conclude that the entire universe is heading in a certain direction and there is a will which determines that direction.

Once one sets the goal, movement has direction and all existence has a goal.

People of religion speak of a heaven on earth.

Communist also speak of an Utopia as the inevitable goal of an ideal world.  Except this world will run according to their 'law' of materialism and regulated through force. But that is pure fabrication.  The basic human right under God is freedom of choice.  Even God does not force His principle on His children.

How can unity be reached through violence and struggle and constant conflict?

The clear answer is that history has been the struggle between good and evil, not between plus and minus or complementary elements of male and female.

History is filled with examples of confrontations and struggle, but between good and evil.  When communists say that struggle between the classes is necessary for growth, this is false.

We can see the clear evidence of this through the conflict we experience within our own hearts.

There are two processes operating within all creation: action and reaction.

When we only look at the reaction process, everything appears to be a struggle, but through action, a parallel reaction automatically appears.

The authors of communism look at such phenomenon and come to a different conclusion.  They believe that a new element or creation comes into being when two elements continually war with each other. This is their view of existence according to dialectical materialism.

There are active and reactive elements.  There are two very different ways of explaining them: communism or Principle.

A repelling energy exists in the universe, but God is complete harmony between plus and minus.  he is a perfect being.

If there was a foreign element, like within a healthy body, this perfect element repels it.

Even in our own experiences we repel threats to our life and being even unconsciously.  When an insect flies toward your eye, you automatically sway it away.

If someone came to you in a threatening manner, you would crouch down making yourself smaller, ready to burst into action.  You repel any external invasions and defend yourself against foreign elements.

Why does the human body shrink first before it strikes out?  It is because the universe is like that.  Once you achieve perfect harmony, you want to maintain it for eternity.

Everything aims for eternal existence; therefore, you have the built-in power to repel any threat. 

You have your own defense department within you!  Likewise, all of creation also seeks to protect itself for the sake of preserving harmony.  This is the beauty of the universe!


The Principle teaches that when plus and minus come together, God is able to dwell within us.

This is because harmony reflects God's own characteristics.

Once we have this base, God can dwell within us.  Blood flows toward healthy cells and the nervous system serves them.

A perfectly functioning cell automatically sends an invitation to the circulatory and nervous systems and the life force flows into it.

When the plus and minus elements completely harmonize, God comes to dwell there.

Therefore, both a harmonizing or comforting force and a repelling force exists.

The harmonizing force brings everything into oneness like glue. The repelling force rebuffs any threats to that perfect harmony.

It springs into action and yells, "Get out of here!"

A rapport is established between plus and minus, but a foreign element that is not a perfect plus or minus is unwelcomed.

Of course you would rather talk to a loving person with whom you have a complete rapport, rather than with someone you dislike.

You rather not have them around.  The universe operates in two ways: by harmonizing and by repelling.   Both activities needs energy.

If you are not able to observe the whole picture, you will only notice the small elements and the repelling action.  You will see the struggle and wonder how such things are able to develop into something greater.

For instance, Darwin observed the conflicts within nature and came to his conclusion from only external observations.

But when  you are able to view the whole, you will see the repelling force and the harmonizing and unifying force - not just the repelling force.

Whenever you seek after a greater object or subject, the uniting force becomes greater than the repelling force and it draws you forward.

If you know something about elementary electricity, you realize that two circuits are required in an electrical current: a plus circuit and a minus circuit.

Do plus and minus attract or repel each other? They attract.

However, two pluses and two minuses repel each other. When plus and minus unite, they resemble God, but plus and plus together do not.

If you observe a thunderstorm, there are great masses of plus energy that collides with masses of minus energy in the air.  When they come together, they produce a joyful spark and an incredible sound.

But, if the plus repels plus and minus repels minus, how is it possible to amass such a huge plus and huge minus?


I was studying electrical engineering, and I was going to write my dissertation on this topic. However, I changed my studies to religion and never wrote the dissertation, but I still have a theory about this question. Engineers and physicists do not deal with philosophical questions; they usually just study the phenomena. I worked out a beautiful theory to show why plus and plus do not always repel but also unite under certain circumstances. 


If there is no minus element present, then the plus and plus will join.  As soon as a plus does spot a minus-a potential 'mate'-then he exclaims that this is what he has been hunting for a long time!

The plus will then reject the plus and goes to the minus.

We can take another example.  When boys are young they are best friends with each other.  In this case, plus and plus are united.

But once men meets the woman who will become his spouse, he does not want other men around anymore.

When a plus discovers a minus, it is drawn to its object.  This is because their unity will make them more like the image of God.  No matter how closely plus and plus are united, it does not reflect the image of God.

On the other hand, when plus and minus unite and repel others, they are actually giving them a loving push away.

This is an encouragement to go and find their own mate and create their own eternal harmony.  The repelling action is a stimulant for others to become the harmonized image of God.

When plus unites with another plus, forming a higher pluses, universal, eternal beauty is created.  Ultimately the super plus and super minus are destined to meet to create the ultimate universal, eternal beauty.

On one magnetic pole is mankind, which is the supreme creation, and on the other magnetic pole is the universe and the rest is creation.

When mankind unites with the universe and energy flows between them, they give birth to incredible beauty and the ideal world.

However, this is not the end of the journey.  As we continue our quest to reach our destination, our subject, God, we find complete, ultimate harmony, with God as the plus and mankind as the minus.

Once men and women join in perfect harmony, the repelling forces will push away any foreign element that tries to invade it telling it to go and find its own mate.

Your body tells you that the normal harmony or balance is broken somewhere through sickness and pain.  You feel pain because something invaded and upset it.

The universal repelling force operates in your body to drive away the foreign invasion and sickness.  The struggle between the two produces pain.

If someone hits you, of course you feel pain from that invasion.  Pain motivates you do something to protect yourself.

Pain is necessary as a warning signal, or else the invasion will continue unabated and can destroy your body.  Even a newborn baby feels pain whenever there is an imbalance within his body.  A baby is sensitive to any abnormal situations.

In conclusion, we are the result of the act of creation, not evolution.

You and I are the fruit of harmony, not division or struggle.

Communists claim to have the ultimate truth and enforce its laws through violence and force.  But it only analyzes the world in little bits and lacks the whole perspective.

In order to produce complete harmony, the universe needs to compose plus and minus elements with their intricate interactions forming all the beauty of the universe.

There is always give and take between plus and minus.  In a big plus there are lots of smaller pluses and minuses.

Isn't this true even within the human body to the atom?  A big minus includes lots of pluses and minuses as well.  Each plus and minus unites, something greater is created.

We have spoken about all these levels of duality, but you too are also a dual existent being.  Within you there is the internal and external, mind and body, right?  If there is no harmony between the internal, spirit body and the external physical body, you feel the pain of conscience.

In order to create harmony, you need God.

Human efforts alone will never bring about unity to the world.

God brings you the power of life.

When He dwells with you, you will never lack energy.  Thus, as the dwelling of God, you become a powerhouse, able to continue day and night without running out of energy for His will.

When you do your mission work or fundraise all day in the heat or the cold weather, there is a constant battle between your mind and body.  You will feel fatigued and powerless once your mind and body are united.

God can dwell in you and you feel abundant energy and vitality.

Therefore, each individual is like a factory with all of the machines running and you don't have to worry about going on strike from overworking.

Some people of faith wonder what is wrong with a little drinking, smoking, or taking drugs.

Liquor, for example invades your body and upsets your balance with the ability to make you commit some mistake before God.

Once you achieve perfect harmony within you, liquor, cigarette and marijuana will not distract you from your course.  But while you are in the process of growing, you tend to look in all direction and the wrong elements try to woo you to it.

Once you pay attention to them while you are spiritually immature, you will be drawn into their sphere.


Take another example: although there is no line between you and me, you feel some pulling power from me, don't you? I may try to chase you away, but you come right back, just like a rubber band! You may think about me day and night, and you feel good because of the invisible link pulling on you. That is the power of life. All living things orient themselves toward the power of life; plants, for example, grow toward the sunlight.



No one can replace Father.

His position cannot be appointed.  It is the same with you.  Can anyone replace your mate or loved one and swap them for someone else?

Certainly not.

We should not be satisfied with just doing well as an individual, you need a family.  The family and its members are essential.

By uniting with them, you are able to enlarge yourself.  In a way, family is your larger self.  Your society and nation are still larger selves.

The world can be your larger self.  Through unity, each person wants and becomes a greater and better being.  Without this principle, the standards of value in society cannot be determined.

Home Church, witnessing to 360 homes in your area and caring for them, is the greatest contribution Father has given to the world.  It is the base for becoming a larger self, transforming the individual into the greater world self.

According to the Principle, a perfect plus automatically brings forth a perfect minus.

If you make yourself the perfect minus, then perfect harmony will result.

God is the perfect plus of the universe.

If there is a negative force that tries to threaten that perfect pair, universal power will shatter it.  If this is not true, then the law of the Principle, universal law is false.

If God is the perfect plus, then the rest of creation, the world, spirit world should be in the perfect minus position in relation to God.

Therefore, we become the perfect object.  If the Messiah is the perfect minus to God, if the whole United States tries to harm him, the universal force will make it stop.

This is how the truth and philosophical conclusion must operate.

Father has seen proof of this statement:


"Representative Donald Fraser, with the overwhelming power of the US Congress behind him, came against me and our movement. I gave Bo Hi Pak instructions to go out fearlessly and fight. Knowing this truth, I took the position of a perfect minus and Bo Hi Pak was united with me. No power under the sun, not even the universal power, can shatter such a relationship.

Anything that tries to break the harmony between God and me will be repelled by universal power. History proves this.

Who was defeated in the battle with Congressman Fraser? Who was defeated in the battle with the Carter administration? Was I defeated? I ran a beautiful test of this theory-like a laboratory experiment- with Fraser and Carter and I proved that it works.

The same principle is behind my announcement of a rally in Moscow. Everybody said, "A Moscow rally? How could we?" But if this principle is true, the Moscow rally will become a reality when you unite with me and the absolute minus.

Yes or no? This is a logical theory and I am not acting blindly. There is logic and philosophy behind my actions. By following this principle, we will ultimately bring the universe and the world into unity(world peace). That is our ultimate goal."


Reverend Sun Myung Moon


We we talk about winning over the world, we are not speaking of physical means.

Winning over people with love and enveloping them with love is the goal.  Father urges members to become bigger people and take greater challenges.  You only win people through loving them.

Loving them more than their own family, giving them greater and deeper service.  By loving and serving the world, you create a vacuum or a perfect minus from which to work.

High pressure is drawn to a vacuum, so when you become a perfect vacuum, God moves in.  No power under the sun can stop Him from dwelling with you as His perfect object.

Please become like perfect, low pressure air. God is the world's ultimate high pressure air.

But there has never been corresponding low pressure air to be the dwelling place for God on earth.

If you become the lowest of all air pressures, practicing humility, you are a perfect minus.  Then God's high pressure will flow into you and fill you.

This is a natural law and principle.

You are sent out daily to suffer and endure hardships as people of faith, not because God hates you, but so you can rid yourself of your fallen, sinful ways and become a perfect minus to God.

Opposing elements look for their perfect mate for the achievement of perfect harmony.

This universal repelling power was not created to destroy someone, but guide them into their complete harmony.

Universal power is not a destructive power.  This is why we love our enemy.  By loving the worst opposing force, you are actually guiding it into a greater harmony.



Return for Tomorrow's Post: Can We Build World Peace?

This post was rewritten and derived from the speech The Realm of Existence

Our Original Nature, Not Animal-like

We as people of faith have ideals, but everyone else has ideals, too.  Americans, Germans and people of all nations have ideals.  People of the past, as well as people of the present have ideals as well as those in the future.

Does the animal kingdom appreciate such things as morality and justice?

Animals only are concerned with their immediate desire which correspond with their environment and circumstances.  Their instinct is the guiding force, just like the mole who knows how to dig holes and eat insects.

The mole lives underground and has very small eyes.  They never even think about circumstances. Instinct is the guiding force of the animal world, like the mole who knows only how to dig holes and eat insects.

Moles live underground and have very small eyes, but they never think of the possibility that there are larger eyes, or that living in the light is enjoyed all over the world more than the dark.

Humans, however, do have the ability to imagine such things as swimming underwater and flying through the sky even though we were born on the land.

Humanity has built things such as automobiles and airplanes in order to travel faster than our body can carry us.  Everyone without exception wants to enjoy the best experiences that life can give.

What is the 'best'?

In relation to our bodies, it simply means that it is normal and functioning properly.

Therefore, the ideal is not anything less than the best.  To achieve an ideal, you often have to go beyond your own normal capacities and limitations.

If a short person wants to see something up high for instance, he has to stretch himself up in order to do so.

We are living in a time of confusion.  Everyone has different opinions of what is right.  Some follow the life of leisure and purely sensual way of self-fulfillment.  Others do not know what path to take for their lives.

Sadly enough, there is a widespread attitude Americans young people have that the older generations and traditions have no value.  Students dislike the teachers position and do not see why they have to respect them or even listen to them.

This basic attitude disregards other people and only seeks self-gratification just for the present moment.

Is this more a godly behavior or another?

Satan promotes such behavior and those who live such a live of just living for themselves find that they are constantly blocked and frustrated.

On the other hand, God is always encouraging actions that enable people to move freely throughout the universe.

People of goodness and righteousness are always happy for their actions to stand out while those who live a shady lifestyle, literally try to hide themselves in the shadows.  Satan's only criteria for goodness is his own benefit. God's criterion is the benefit of all.

This strong line that divides the realms of evil and goodness means that there is much conflict between them.

When one person from one side tries to enter the domain of the other, he becomes very uncomfortable.  He will be pushed to conform to the wrongful standards of that realm.

Those in the communistic and democratic systems try to relate to one another, but neither is able to approve of the other.  They are not able to live side-by-side peacefully.  There is always hostility between them.

People are very complex beings, having dimensions of both mind and body. 

No one is able to see his own mind and say where it is precisely located. But no one can deny that their mind exists!

The mind and body have different dimensions and substances, but they form components of yourself.

This is where the individual exists, at the point of intersection between mind and the body.

If we were to draw on a graph a horizontal line representing the body and a vertical line intersecting it representing the mind, we see the shape of the individual is determined depending on the angle at which the mind-line and body-line intersects.

Communism asserts that mind and spirit are just the by products of his body's actions.  They believe that matter came into existence before the spirit or thought.  That there was no thought necessary for matter to come into being.

This is wrong thinking is important to clarify and point out as false because it is the beginning of 'self' and denial of God's existence.

This means that the mind and body on the graph are running parallel to each other.  This distorted shape typifies the communistic way of think and is far from balanced or harmonious.

The universe seeks for circular motion and shape in everything.  The cells of the body, the planets in the solar system, even the shape of the universe are all rounded and circular in shape.

Without the balanced intersection of two equal lines, a circle cannot exist on the basis of the central point.

What does this have to do with the life of an individual?

When a baby is born, he is not aware that he has something called a mind and a body.  As his mind continues to grow, it will either develop in the ideal vertical direction or it will be misdirected.

If all the aspects are to be balanced, his mind's path of growth must be perfectly vertical.

For the child to grow along the perfect vertical path he must fully depend upon the guidance and direction of his parents.  Within twenty years, his body will finally achieve maturity,  Even though the body may be physically mature, the mind is still capable of being deflected from its proper path.

A child needs the direction of both his father and his mother in order to become a completed, mature individual. 

It is common in America to marry, have children, divorce and remarry, sometimes several times.

Some homes have children who were raised by several step-parents.  Therefore, it is not easy or natural for the children to accept discipline from a step-parent.

We know that many people still have resentments throughout their lives for the way they were treated by their step-parents while they were growing up.

Who can deny that this is generally a sad situation?  Those who praise the American lifestyle, should also praise the mixed-up family life that many children experience.

It is natural for a loving father and mother to discipline their child.  It is their responsibility to direct his vertical growth.  If they see him going off the path, they must set him straight.  Most children will complain, but without their parents' discipline, they would have no chance of achieving a healthy, vertical line of growth.

This is the simplest answer to why parents should guide their children.

Parents are responsible for the child successfully connecting their mind and body.  Even the most hardened of criminal understands this and will strive to make their children good, happy people.

 It is human nature to seek the ideal for our children.

If mankind had followed God's direction in the beginning and the fall had never happened, mankind would never have needed a Messiah or True Parents to come to earth.

Every parent would have already reached perfection as individuals and be of perfected love.  Unfortunately, all natural parents have been born to a sinful lineage of the first parents.  As fruit of their fallen love, all mankind has not known the true love of God.

We really cannot blame our parents for not being able to give perfect love, because no one has truly received it.

This is why the mistake of the first parents should be reversed by the first True Parents on the earth.
They must accomplish what all earthly parents have not been able to do, which is, to guide children along the proper, godly vertical path of growth.

The very beginning of evil was just the opposite of that.  It was the misdirected desire of an archangel and a woman to possess someone for themselves.

Eve and her love belonged to God, Adam and the universe.  But the archangel filled with jealousy, wanted Eve's love for his own gratification and comfort.  This is where the True Parents in the Last Days begin to restore the fallen bloodline.

People must learn to change their fallen, selfish desire to want to possess and turn it into the proper direction.

The point where we desire something centered on ourselves and not God is each person's arch-enemy.

The very source of evil is the selfish, desire to possess for oneself.

How do we eliminate this selfish 'I'?

Only through learning to love God and the world more than anything else we want to possess. You should be able to say that the only thing you want to possess or be possessed by is the true love of God.

When you go out on your mission, you are receiving the best, most practical way of training in redirecting your sense of possession.  You take all the earnings each day through fundraising and giving it to God and His purposes.

You do not even keep a penny for yourself.  When you are able to endure persecution, you are being transformed more into God's image more quickly.

Then this means that suffering from this viewpoint is good.

True Parents are absolutely necessary in fully eradicating the fall completely from man's lineage.  

The ideal way is to begin life all over again in the womb.  How is this accomplished?

In order to be born, of course, one needs to have both a mother and a father.  The parents must be totally united, supporting each other giving perfect love to the child.

Yes, there has been love in the world, but after the fall, this love is not centered on God.

When we did not follow God's word, we have been severed from God's direct love and blood line.  Therefore True Parents must be born on the earth with a love which is pure and stems directly from God alone, not having any satanic ties.

True Parent's purpose is to re-educate all people to become sons and daughter of God worthy to stand before Him without shame.  They would never exploit anyone for their own sake.

He would only want to sacrifice himself for the people there and raise them to a better position.

The sons and daughters of God must rise above distinctions of nationality and culture and learn to love the entire world, since God loves the entire world.


Have I been doing the right thing to send American young people out to do fund raising? Through fund raising experiences, you can liquidate the root of the original sin, the desire for possession centered upon oneself. Once you understand that, you can feel great joy and commitment in your work.


Many times you may ask why you should walk this path of faith being persecuted.

You may think that if this work is so good, then why are you treated so badly.  But once you re-examine your reasons and continue, you will then discover how close you are to the heart of God and how much your work means to him.

Some people are able to do this work for years, because they have the understanding by going this path, they are restoring the world through dedicating their energy and materials.

What a noble life to work for those reasons.

Those who give to you during your fundraising activities are also participating in God's providence.

They and their children will be able to dedicate their lives totally to God because you gave them the chance to start building a bridge back to God.

You must understand while you are dedicating your lives in this way, there is far more significance than simply giving cents you receive.  This kind of dedication has brought the church to the point where it is today.

There was plenty of opposition to this movement, but that is gradually dwindling and ultimately step-by-step, we will be able to see the world turn back to Heaven's side.

Now, you understand that the ultimate purpose is far greater than the money you earn in your activities. Through your mission experiences, you can learn to look at things with eyes that the world and even God can share.

These are very basic points of the Divine Principle.

God's ideal at the time of creation was for unity of the four-position foundation (God, parents, siblings, spouse relationship) be established on earth.

Instead, the first parents united with Satan following his direction.  We have not been able to accomplish this in the past, but for the first time in history, there is the possibility for the ideal to exist.

This is the purpose of the Lord of the Second Advent.

This is the first time in history that God's ideal has the chance to be fulfilled which is heaven on earth and children born of His true love free from sin.

Do you understand the value of the time which you are living?

When night time passes, day time begins.  Just as persecution must pass, the time of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth will begin.

People all over the world would appreciate this news if they had a chance to hear it.  We are living in the times that the saints have prayed for.



Return for Tomorrow's post:  Witnessing Teaches True Love


This post rewritten and derived from the speech Total Completion of the Ideal

History Going Toward Good

The history of humanity has been filled with chaos and upheaval.  The world was filled with the most violence since World War I.

Many think that these occurrences in history are random happenings, but through the Divine Principle we understand God's careful planning during His providence.  This is based on the period of indemnity.

We are now in a point of drastic history where it is changing.  Where is history headed from here?

Christianity has been built in Western civilization, but as we know that has been crumbling.  By looking at the way the world is, people think that this chaos will only get worse and deteriorate further.  This decline in the Western civilization has become very obvious.

The result of this is that the strong structure of Western families and nations have also been crumbling.  In this environment, it is easy to be pessimistic about the future, but we must remember that God is almighty and He surely has a plan for turning this drastic decline around.

There are two paths which people are going: one path leads toward destruction; the second path, which is of God, is headed toward reconstruction and hope.

God has been working hard for thousands of years with people, so He must be making a great effort to bring each of us to His side.

The world is full of chaos, but when we look back in history, we see that we are moving toward a more heavenly way on earth.

There are two points of view opposing each other in the world - one "atheistic" or man­-centered, and the other "theistic" or God-­centered.

In the past, people thought that science could provide all the answers for the world, but that hope is diminishing today.

Thinking people are realizing that a solution can only come through religion, or a God­-centered ideology.

Those who have centered solutions to problems based on man's theory are now losing hope.  The alternative is to place God on top; above everything.

God has used religion as a tool to reveal His will to man.  Then science was born to be in the position to serve God's purpose.  Instead of following God's purpose of unity, religion and science have been like oil and water.

Throughout history, it has not been easy for man and God to meet in harmony.  There was not a medium in order for this to take place.

Ultimately, there will be one kind of civilization that will dominate: Will it be man-centered or God-centered?

If God does exist, then the future of civilization is headed toward the God-centered culture and it must prevail.

If the primary goal is for the world to head toward world peace, then we know that God has been working hard in the background to bring a solution to man's problems today.

After World War I, two opposing ideologies existed in the world.  People can not avoid making a choice which camp they should follow.  As the Western civilization crumbles, God prepares the solution to this problem in the Eastern world.

Just like our planet turns, so history is turning.

Western civilization has passed through its golden age and now dusk and sundown are coming. Logically, then, the other side of the planet must be receiving sunshine now.

You can see that this is the fact in the latest trend of many Westerners searching the East for answers to their spiritual questions.  America has attracted the best, the essence of the whole Western civilization.  Within its short two hundred years, America has experienced a golden age and become a superpower in such a short time span.

Even with its great history of triumph, are there many Americans that truly honor their heritage or care about their families?

Instead, many are abandoning their families and trying to separate from this country.

Young people are trapped.  They have lost their world, nation, society and even their families which used to be a safe haven.

The youth in America are like a great fish that are caught in a net that holds them fast.  They are lonely, suffer depression and confusion because their nation and family do not have the answers to rescue them from their sadness.

You probably have noticed that many wish to go to the West Coast, which is the closest to the East. God knew such a trend would begin here in America, so He prepared some solution to come from the East.

God is helping people to cut the net that traps them and find new power.

God also teaches them that the reason why they were caught was because they were trying to find a selfish solution to their problems and escape being linked to anyone else.  Instead, one must link to the world, nation and home with parents and become firmly anchored in those systems.

This is the new concept of family, nation and world which God is teaching them.

God has been planning the re­-education of America and its young people but the teacher must come from elsewhere.

God has been planning this re-education of America, but the teacher must not come from within the walls of this nation.

American education is not fit to answer the world's problems.  In order to revolutionize life in this nation, there needs to be a champion for God.  America is not qualified to provide this kind of person or saint.

Therefore, God will look for a person that comes from the Eastern culture which is linked to America and send a teacher from there.


What Eastern nation has unbreakable ties to America?

Korea does.

You must know that the relationship between America and Korea did not come by accident, but is a providential relationship.  If there is a policymaker that tries to break this historical bond between America and Korea, he will not succeed.  Those who have tried to victimize Korea have been destroyed.


The people who plotted to destroy Korea and the Unification Church were themselves destroyed, while our movement is still spreading around the world. We fought a battle in the House of Representatives, and now in the last several days we have fought a battle in the Senate as well, meeting every senator.


In any situation, there is the Cain side representing Satan and the Abel side which is closer to God that blocks the path for the heavenly cause.  This includes the religious world.

Satan waged a war against the Unification Church, with the Completed Testament that reveals Satan's secrets, and tried to persecute it as a cult.  Fortunately, God also used this cause to uplift the church as a major religion and separate it from the category of a cult.

Before Christianity was an established religion, as Jesus was walking the path of persecution, his movement was also seen as a cult with a truth that was not widely accepted in its time.

Now, other religions see the value of the teachings and how the messages come directly from God to lead the world toward peace and don't want to see the church be destroyed.

Now we see it happening in the unity of the major religions around the Unification Church.

Great events on earth always precede great events in God's dispensation.

Three years after World War I, an important heavenly birth took place. Now you accept this explanation, but in those days, no one even thought about interpreting history in that way. At that time, Korea was occupied by Japan and in 1919 they stood up to declare independence.

They failed and thousands of Koreans were killed in the uprisings. It was as though Korea was trying to turn itself around before the great event of 1920. The greatest sacrifice was made by Korean Christians, many of whom were martyred.

Then in 1920, Rev. Sun Myung Moon who wrote the contents of the Completed Testament, was born.

The reverend speaks about his upbringing:

"My home town was Chungju, in what is now North Korea; it was a very Christian town. As a result of the uprisings, the Japanese allowed the Christians to gather to worship in the largest church and then they set it on fire, trapping everyone inside and killing them.

I was born one year after the independence uprising. Chungju was the town where the most Christians were martyred.

The Second World War erupted as I reached 16 years of age, beginning with the war between Japan and China. In 1945, when I was 25, the war ended.

When I was 30, the Korean War broke out, lasting three years. That was a worldwide event with 16 nations sending troops to fight in Korea and combat communism. There is no parallel to this in all of history.

That was one event which all the free world could rally around in the fight against the God-denying ideology of communism.

This was one truly, "holy war" because God mobilized all colors of skin to die side by side.

This was a greater event than even the martyrdom of first century Christians, because America, in the position of the Roman Empire, took the initiative to invite all free people to participate in the defense of Korea. It was as though the Roman Empire had invited 16 nations to come defend Israel 2,000 years ago.

Colonialism before World War I was a struggle for land.  After World War I, the nationalistic movements fought a war focused on human beings. For instance, the Germans and Japanese declared they were superior races.

One war remains and that is the war for God-to decide who will possess Him."

To win this war for God, you must be super-denominational, transcending national barriers and race. In this respect, the Unification Church has great dimension; we think of all races as one family, all nations as one nation of God and all religions as one under God.

The one to win this war for God will have to transcend national barriers, denominations, and race.  The church has great dimension embracing all races and nations as one family.  The Unification Church performs international and inter-racial marriages centered on the ideology of everyone is part of the human family.

All nations, races and religion are one under God.

On the other hand, you witness many battles between other religions that say that God is only with them and all others will perish.  This is the ultimate war where the Unification Church is on one side and all other religions are on another side.


Our battle in America is a religious one because all other religions have joined to try to discredit us in the past. But our goal is to awaken the conscience and righteousness of the people.



This is like a guerrilla warfare, where our brains and hard work are the weapons to convey the truth to the entire world.

God sent Jesus in order to save the world, but the people of his time had limited thinking.  They believed the Messiah came to just save them and their country from the tyranny of the Roman Empire.


We represent the absolute goodness of heaven and we have been oppressed by evil, but the heavenly power will keep pounding and turn evil around. 


We are at the turning point in history.  Just as God chose Christianity as the forefront of his spiritual war, he uses the Unification Church to turn evil toward goodness.  To reach this level, the Messiah had to go through to the bottom of human misery of the world and work from there.

God will not let history be controlled solely by people.  North Korea thought in the past that it could conquer South Korea easily, but it could not.  Communism, also tried to make America turn Korea into another Vietnam, but thankfully another greater power prevented this tragedy.

Now, we see a tug-o-war between those on the communist side and America, Korea, and Japan puling on the other side.  There needs to be a stronger champion that is pulling on the side of righteousness.

Communism has always had the goal of their godless ideology to dominate the whole world.  All of the communist nations are united on this one purpose.  On the other hand, all of the nation's on God's side are divided and are not certain which way to go.

God would not allow this situation to continue, so He has raised up a force in the free world that wins over communism.  When we take a look, it seems that the communist side is winning people and land everyday, but we are winning more on the spiritual side.

We are not alone, the entire spirit world is working and fighting on our side alongside with us.

Which has more, those in the spiritual world who have lived on earth and passed away or the people who reside on earth right now?

God watches this tug-o-war and will determine who is the winner.  Aren't you glad that we are on good speaking terms with the judge?  In order to win, God wants us to prove that we love mankind and show Him that this love is greater than that of the communists.

God gives us the mission to go to the very family units of the communists who are trying to destroy us and witness them to the truth.  Through this, we are making the home the building block of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Therefore, the communists know that their best targets: the church and the family order.  Through destroying these two foundations, they can conquer all of society and dominate it centered on Satan.

But God's side is the champion for both home and church in our witnessing structure.

Home church is your launching pad. If you are a powerful rocket, but you have a weak launching pad, you cannot take off. 

You should be grateful to receive persecution because it strengthens your foundation to launch millions of pounds.

Our world needs to quickly turn around 30 degrees, but what will be the axis?  Witnessing in the home church area.

God has the greatest sense of humor.  He uses the most persecuted to relay His timely message of salvation.  However, good news always begins within the boundaries of the enemy territory.  That is when World War II ended, when good news came from the enemy territory and Japan surrendered.

Once the critics from the government, media, and the established Christian churches say that they surrender that is when our territory can be guaranteed.


We have seen how important the external world is. In my entire life there has not been one truly good day when there was no torture, no plot or conspiracy against me, but I have overcome all the typhoons in my life and now the entire world has to recognize me as a giant spiritual power. 

I know you would agree that I could not do this all alone; was God or Satan assisting me? I fulfilled God's internal dispensation all by myself and the corresponding external dispensation has proceeded up through this recent battle with Congress. This is the time in which the internal and external victories must be united.


The church is like a multi-layered eruption.  Starting at the individual at the center, then the family, society, nation and so forth.  The inner two layers must unite in order for the next layer to erupt.  God's love is the igniting power.

When each layer is ignited by true love, it then ignites the next layer.

When the individual and family are united and ignited by love, they burst through the entire society. When the family and society are united and ignited in love, the entire nation can be ignited and reborn. Finally, the unity in love of all those levels, of all races and nations, can bring rebirth to the entire world.


I came to America because it is like a museum of the world, containing all races and all kinds of people. If it could be ignited by the love of God, then the impact would certainly reach throughout the world. Such a change of this world would be enough to change the entire spirit world.


When one moves closer to the central point, eventually they reach to the core.  God works through individuals who are absolutely united with Him.  These individuals suffer more and do more because they have to fulfill the highest possible position.

If the earth's axis moves, then the entire world will move. Real energy must be added there to make that happen.

Those who are summoned by God to work for His dispensation are asked to do more and show the greatest devotion.  This has always been true throughout history.  God's people have suffered the greatest sacrifices in history.

At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus had a showdown with Satan during his forty day fast in the wilderness.  Of course, Jesus was victorious over the three temptations, but this was just temporarily.  Original, the Jesus was intended to find a bride and start a family.

It would be there that Satan would plan to attack Jesus on the family level on the way to the tribal level.  Finally, Satan won on the national-level through the crucifixion which was not God's original plan.  Many Christians do not understand that Jesus' death was secondary.

Jesus was the only one who carried God's sinless seed, through holy marriage he would have sinless children.  Only when his people denied him as leader and God's son, and did not follow him did he have no other way to save us but through his shedding his pure blood.

Satan was able to destroy Jesus' body, but God was able to resurrect him spiritually.  This is how God works.

As a person of faith, are you taught to just enjoy life and have only the best of everything, or do you the hardest most difficult work?

The satanic side also has the goal of mobilizing and uniting people, but they do it at gunpoint.   They force people to sacrifice themselves and their families for their own selfish cause.  God on the other hand, wants His people to work voluntarily, by taking up the cup of sacrifice on their own.

Does someone have to force you to do your church work or mission?  Satan always tries to encourage us to run away, but if someone was to steal you away, you would just run back to this way of life?

Satan offers people of faith all sorts of bait to entice you through the love of your parents, your friends, children and loves.  We face this sort of temptation everyday.  This is why the Bible warns us that those who have the burden of families will suffer more in the Last Days.  This is because through the multiplication of family, Satan has more bait to offer to tempt them away from doing God's work.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: Even God Prays


This post was rewritten and derived from the speech The First Day and Our Lifetime

The Age of Godism

Surely when we look through the history books, we must evaluate that even though Democracy is the closest political stance standing on God's side in comparison to communism, it still has never been able to solve all of the social problems of the world.  Communism has proclaimed salvation, peace and happiness through orders and materials.

Left or right wing still have never been able to bring true peace to the nation or solve the juvenile problems and religion has only been able to cause more separation among its members not finding unity and peace within its confines.

God never created the world to have such divisions or even religion.  Humanity was to already know and converse with God on a substantial level without the idea of a fallen blood lineage.  Therefore, religions only purpose is to bring God's ideals and practices to His children to restore the world to its original idea before the fall.

Therefore, we are headed not for more political barriers, but the idea of Godism and love.


The Era of Godism

Let's examine what religion truly teaches.

It teaches discipline and control of our fallen desires through fasting, abstaining from fallen sex and to serve and sacrifice.  These are things that no one wants to do and seems unnatural to fight these urges.

Why does each religion focus on these attributes?  Because the founders of these religions understood that satan influenced us to center on our own thinking and not God's way of life.

The only way for arrogant people to become Godly people is through sacrifice and serving others.  Religion also teaches us to make ourselves as an offering to God.  This means to make a condition in which we divide our-self  one side representing good and the other evil.  The body does not want to do anything that does not allow it to be comfortable.

However, the mind is willing to go that way of sacrifice for the sake of heaven. 

Then the mind rises up higher and higher towards heaven in the spiritual world.

Once the mind goes toward the heavenly way, it will rise higher and higher toward heaven in the spiritual world.  We are living in the age where our conscience is being liberated.  The conscientious people will rise in power around the world, because they will be connected to God's love and will receive God's grace, power and opportunity.

Adam and Eve were to be the first perfected parents bearing God's direct lineage without the trace of sin.  We have entered the era of True Parents which embody the true lineage of God.

Humanity lost their parents in the beginning and to return to God we absolutely need True Parents.  Jesus came to be a True Parent and reverse the mistake of Adam and Eve in his time, but went the way of the cross when no one could ultimately follow him and understand the fullness of his teachings.

Why are True Parents so absolutely necessary? Because they help us to cut the ties with evil and to embrace all the individuals and families of Godly attributes. Also to embrace all the tribes and nations of the world and have them belong to God, True Parents are necessary.

When every family follows True Parent's family's ideal, they will become ideal families.  If God is a good God would He have created a hell for His children?  God intended for all of His children to go to heaven as families.  We must live our lives centering upon True Parents' family for the first time in human history.  Your life becomes an offering.

Suppose Father requests you, as an offering, to go to poor suffering Africa. Then you should invite the poor people of Africa to come and live in this affluent nation of America and inherit it from you. That is an offering.

Love is the entity that flows, just like air and water. If they stagnate they become rotten. 

Does the high pressure follow the low pressure or vice versa? (High goes to low.) How about air and water? Same direction.  In the same way love follows this same principle.

If we are to look at the world as a whole, we can say that it is stagnant.  The affluent nations demand to stay on the top level while the poorer nations remain poor.  Air flows freely as love so who created this distinction in class?  The ideal of living for oneself, a self-centered concept caused this stagnation.  This thinking centers on Satan.

Wealth must flow down to the low just as high water flows down.  When we see this happen, the "world problems" will cease to exist.  Does this sound like a solution or not? All problems began in humanity when individualism came into being.  America is the king of individualism and God has nothing to do with individual thinking.  It will all fall down in the Last Days prophesied in Revelations.

Air flows through even the smallest crevice, as does water. Then so should love. Wherever love is needed then there it should seep in. If True Love wants to seep into your mind do you resist or welcome it?

We must find our True Self, our original minds that are linked to God.  How far have we deviated from our true self?

Our mind represents heaven and our body represents hell. 

This is why every religion teaches to dominate the body with the god-like mind.  It is our purpose in life to dominate our bodily, fleshly desires and liberate the conscience.  Just believing in religious text and attending sermons does not qualify one to go to heaven.  When every human lives together harmoniously, religion would have fulfilled its purpose and will no longer be needed.

At the fall we lost everything and the sad point is, we don't even know what we have lost.


Satan Loves Separatism

When God created the world, did He create borderlines between nations or different denominations in religions?  God did not create this division, man did.  We are living in hell on earth where there is no true everlasting peace.  So we must go the opposite way of this individualistic world.  Which way is this, it is the whole, the public way of living.

What determines if a person is good?  A good person is a public person and a bad person is an individualistic person.  We need to know this definition clearly.  In this age where conscience is being liberated.  Those who have been born with a good brain have come to rule the world, but at the beginning, we were ruled by Godism.

At the beginning God was at the center and during medieval times, man became the center.  As we live in the Last Days, we see that materialism and individualism has become central.  During the medieval dark ages, God was part of their world, but there was great confusion where the cause and the result was.  People just blindly followed God and this blindness eventually led to corruption.  We are living in the time where man has become central rather than God.

Father explains very clearly who and what God is and Godism is no longer unclear. We know now, for the first time in history, clearly about God. We understand very clearly today man's relationship with God.

People came to realize that no matter how great a man became, there was a limit to his power as they would die after 100 years at the most.  We lived during an age of materialism and science which denies God and the human spirit.  We are currently back to Godism again.  This time is different than any other time before in human history.

That is the headwing thought.  We have left wing and right wing, but we are leading toward the headwing thought when the two come together.

As well as Godism, we also uphold humanism.  God originally created human beings' mind and body to b connected directly to Him and the things of creation.  Therefore, human beings are the central connection of the entire universe.  Adam, Jesus and the Lord of the Second Advent all come into one unified realms of Parents.

From Adam's time to Jesus' time and the time of the Second Advent, all connect with God [indicating to the board]. Centering upon Parents, the right and left wing bring into unity and bring God and humanity back into oneness. Godism is the vertical viewpoint and headwing is the horizontal viewpoint centering upon True Parents.

From Godism to humanism to materialism, now all are brought into unity. Godism represents the brain, humanism the power, and materialism the body. At this time Satan works to have people believe that God is dead. Now humanity may return to God and Satan is very afraid and so he is trying to proclaim that God does not exist.

Satan tries everything he can to separate people from understanding the concept that humanity can be restored back to their original sinless condition in which God created Adam and Eve.  We have gardnered the concept in society that bad people do well in gaining material wealth whereas good people are always at the bottom.  We should be grateful to be living in the time of liberation where good people will gain God's power and help.

We are living in the time where people of conscience will rise up and turn this world right side up.  We prepare for this season by uniting our mind and body and prepare for this day.  The Fall caused our mind and body to struggle for domination, between husband and wife and the conflict among children.  The right and nations.  Individualism brought about these conflicts.

When the Christian culture that represents the bride unifies the right and left wing then the Lord of the Second Advent arrives.  Such a world will bring unity between husband and wife and the process will be multiplied from individual liberation to the world.

Once spouses unify centering on True Parents, this will restore the family.  Then the individual will be restored and enter into heaven. Unless our mind and body become one, and unless our family become united and we become one with the True Parents we become families who can represent the whole world.

Each family will represent the world, just as Adam's family did.  Just as one man brought about the fall which spread to the whole human society, the family can go in the opposite direction and save the world.  We have come into a culture where good people are welcomed anywhere by anyone.

This did not come about automatically.  Throughout history, God poured His very being into the restoration of His ideal and for His children to return.  We must ask ourselves in our daily action are we going in this direction to unite with God?  this is the natural human desire of the original mind to go this way.

Don't all women have the desire to marry the greatest man on earth?  Not to the second greatest, but to the greatest man in all of history, but this man would disappear after one generation from earth.

Throughout the past, present and in the future who would be the greatest of all?  God. Jesus was great in his time but left the earth with his mission incomplete to return through the Second Coming.  The returned messiah would be qualified as the greatest man on earth.

"How do you distinguish man from a woman or woman from a man? Through the physical characteristics. One is indented and one is protruded. Do you think that God has the physical characteristics of man? Does He or does He not? He is your own Father. (Yes.) You know more than me."

All women must become wives of God.  What will you need to qualify as God's wife?  Women already possess it within themselves.  They will need True Love.  If God was able to connect directly to Adam and Eve instead of them connecting to satan's ideas, He would have dwelled in their three children in an equal way without any amount of sin.

Even though the generation may be different, the fruit is the same. First, second, third generation -- it does not matter. God dwells within each fruit in each generation. God dwells within all of His children in the same way.

The value of the fruit is the same. No matter how many millions of years may pass, the fruit will always be of the same value. This grand pattern God created, guarantees that all of the descendants would have passed into the Kingdom of Heaven no matter how many generation the same as their True Parents.

God created everyone the same and each generation has the same value in God's sight. Adam and Eve naturally represented the entire world, even though they were individuals. Our marriage is not just one among five billion. Rather, each couple represents the whole world.

We each represent couples like Adam and Eve.  We are on the same level representing  the whole itself, not a fraction of the whole.  What does this mean?  That every child bears the same value as Adam and Even themselves.

When a husband and wife come together to pledge before God to marry representing God Himself this i our marriage.  Our marriage represents the whole world.  When Adam and Eve were perfected, married centered on God they would have followed this absolute pattern of goodness.  We would be living our lives centered on Godism throughout the world.



Return for Tomorrow's Post: Sex Education Focus on Purity

This Post was rewritten and taken from the speech Let Us Find Our True Self.

Control Fleshly Desire, Gain the Universe

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

The mind that is governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh/body cannot please God.

Romans Chapter 8:5-8



Mind and Body Unity

There was a time that man could communicate directly to God.  This was the state of sinlessness that we witnessed before the Fall.  This is the state of having mind and body unity; a state of the spirit leading the body or flesh.

Is it possible for us to have mind and body unity - for the flesh and spirit to unite into one?  If so, when and where will this happen?  It's not really a question of if it will happen because man must absolutely return to the state of sinlessness.

If the mind and body are moving in different directions they will never find unity.  On the other hand, if the mind and body can welcome each other and move in the same direction, then they will work in harmony instead of be in conflict.

Many ask why God does not make our mind and body unify if He is such a powerful God.

The author of the Divine Principle which this blog is based on discussed about his time in prison for teaching about God during the Japanese occupation in Korea which he relied on this principle of mind and body unity:

"I have experienced the harshest life in a prison labor camp and I found that actually the greatest suffering is not found in prison but in the conflict between mind and body. Sinful man always regrets the consequences of his body struggling against his mind.

I ultimately came to the conclusion that my enemy is not the world or even the communists but my own body. Your worst enemy is your body. 

Do you believe it? I established one very firm principle for myself, that I must conquer myself before having dominion over anything else.

Each of you is also committed to a ruthless battle of subjugating your own body. Your job is to have your body surrender to your mind and then bring it in the same direction. That is why a religious life is the pursuit of conquering your body.

If you have not conquered your own body then you haven't reached the standard yet.

Religion teaches the importance of a life of penance; when your body wants to rest then you should wake up and pray. Your body wants to eat delicious meals but religion teaches the value of fasting.

What the body wants the mind rejects.

What is gained by living that way?

By giving up your body you can receive the entire universe, so it's a very good deal in a way. By giving up a little bit of your flesh you can gain the entire universe.

This is absolutely true.

Why is it that you cannot feel the love of God all the time?

Your body is the barrier preventing the love of God from reaching you. God's love is shining forth but your body is blocking it, so by sacrificing your body and liquidating the barrier so the shining love of God can freely reach you.

Once this happens nothing will be in your way and the total unity between God and man and mind and body can become a living reality. Once you can receive God's love, God will certainly dwell with you. God needs true love and cannot leave it once He has found it.

Do you really understand this now?

What you ultimately need the most is the love of God. Do you know how beautiful and how powerful the love of God is?

In this world men and women have romances and say they could die for love of each other, but suppose they were to fall in love with God first. 

That's the key.

I searched and found how that love of God can be reached. I not only found the answer but have experienced how the love of God can reach man. With the love of God the mind and body can unite in total oneness.

The love of God needs an object in order to manifest; man is that object. When will this become reality? Religions have been teaching that the end of the world will occur when one central figure comes, or in Christian terms the Lord of the Second Advent.

The love of God will be seen where the Messiah and his bride meet for the heavenly wedding ceremony.

Is that place a horrible scene of judgment or a scene of cosmic spring and the fulfillment of love? God works logically and through your own mind you know that the first heavenly family will bring the cosmic spring."SMM

The Messiah will first reconcile the body and mind

The family is the building block of the kingdom of heaven on earth first.  We believe the road to world peace will begin through the nation or on the world-wide level, but it starts with the husband and wife.  The ideal of the heavenly four realms of heart or four-position foundation is a strong point that should be taught: God, man and woman and heavenly children centered on God's love.

When the four realms create a relationship centered on God's love, this completes the circuit for the expression of His love.  This is where the perfection of love is born and the heavenly kingdom will expand over time.  This four-position relationship in each family is duplicated and expands.

What is the Lord of the Second Advent or the second messiah's mission when he returns?

Jesus Christ was to realize a physical Heaven on Earth, not just a spiritual path to Heaven.  Are we currently able to live in a Utopia?

No, Christians surmount that we can only have true peace once we shed our bodies and enter the realm of spirit.  This is why the Messiah returns.  To bring physical salvation.

When he comes it is asked in the bible, will he find faith?

So, will he be spending his time visiting countries to heal people with cancer and feed the poor?  In a way he will be.  He will be giving spiritual food to humanity in order to unite their mind and body with the fire of God's love.

That's the job of the Messiah. If he can ignite the love of God in your heart so that your body and mind can become one, then he has done his job. 

After the mind and body are united you can follow his pattern and create a family, tribe nation and world and ultimately the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven. If that is indeed possible the world will see salvation. If God is really God and if His love is really burning then that must all take place here on earth.

God would not create such a world to only be recognized and loved in the world of spirit only and He has never given up the fight to bring restoration back to earth and His children.

He cannot build the Kingdom of Heaven without reconciling the body and mind's contradictory elements.  Jesus said we join him in Paradise which is not Heaven.  The Messiah will give the word to teach us how to subjugate the body which is blocking God's love.

What else does God really need from man?

God has lots of love within Himself so why should He need more?  Is He greedy?


"I am a man so I have love in my heart and in my body, but can I say that I don't need any more love, that I have enough love to be happy? It is a profound truth that love will never become real love until it finds an object."


Even though God is almighty, He still cannot activate love without having an object in which He can have a give and take relationship.

An object ignites love.  

Who is the highest object of God's love?  A monkey?

What else but man can be qualified as God's object of deep love?  Then, does the universal God choose to love just any kind of mind or does He long to deal with one who has a universal mind? Is the mind or body God's real object?  Which one does He relate with love?

Your mind is so big that you can even trap God inside.

Your mind feels like it is big enough to challenge the world.  Every human has the qualification to be the object of God because we are endowed with such a mind that God can deal with.  When God loves you, will He complain how dirty you are after you dealt with the satanic world and push you aside?  Is God's love conditional, partial or total and unreserved?

When God fervently embraces you, this burns away all your sinful past in order to try to give you all of His love.

One who is enraptured in the total love of God, every cell will be filled and there will not be a want for anything further.  You feel totally intoxicated in this state and do not want this goodness to end.  This is the real world in which we live.  Every human is supposed to be host to such a love.  Don't we want to have even a taste of such a world now?

This is why we desire and long for World Peace.

The teachings of Reverend Moon is for the purpose to lead humanity toward such a world of peace and love.  But many people believe him to be a hustler or that he is deluding members and people to a beautiful idea in order to enslave everybody for his own selfish purpose.

How do you know this is not so?

Even if he is a swindler, a better solution has never been found in all of history in order to bring about Heaven on Earth.  He is like the plus pole trying to put a fire under the cold and sleepy minus world.

Plus and minus instantly spark when they first unite, but this world has become so numb that this connection has been lost.  It takes a lot of effort to wake up this sleepy world and put a spark that will jump us awake.

Both God and man are in the same tragic situation because their common purpose has not been fulfilled.

What kind of God is He, and why does He approach man?

God and man definitely need one another so there is a common goal or purpose that they both want to achieve to seal this bond where we can meet or else we cannot unite.  We need to know the importance of the relationship of God and man.

Man have used money, knowledge and experience to be able to survive on this earthly plane.  But, does God need these things from man?

No.

There has to exist a common purpose where God needs man and man needs God.  This common purpose has somehow not been fulfilled.  This is the tragedy of both God and man.

Where can we find a remedy for the conflict between our mind and our body trying to dominate the other.  There must be something wrong in our hearts to cause this conflict.  In the original world before sin sprouted, there was a place where both God and man dwell, but somewhere along the way man separated himself from this place and lost connection to God in the process.


Concluding that there is a perfect God and realizing the imperfect state of man today we must come to one logical conclusion: Man is the one who is out of order, not God. Man deviated from his original state and is thus prevented from reaching perfection.


If we reconcile this imperfection of man we can soon connect to the perfection of God.

When we acknowledge the repercussions of the Fall of man, we realize the existence and perfection of God.

This information is very precious.

Many blame God for the situation and state of the world today, but the fault does not lie within God, but in man.  At the same time, through this knowledge we can explain the imperfection and the self-contradiction dwelling in man.

God lives in a perfected state while after we lost our direct connection to God we experienced struggle between our mind and body.  Once we know the true fault of the fall, we can logically justify the existence of a perfected loving God and sinful man.

It is from this point that two worlds came into being instead of just the original pure one God intended.

The world of goodness is governed by God and the world of evil is the result of the fall. 

We cannot accept the premise of atheists that there is no God due to the imperfection of man. We know the Principle. After knowing this we can recognize how the God of perfection has been making efforts throughout history to restore the corrupted world into goodness. Religion testifies to God's efforts.

What is the purpose of religion?

Religion is God's tool to communicate to this imperfect world and raise up good men.  In other words, religion strives to bring this fallen world closer to God.

So, what is goodness?

Anything that tries to bring unity between God and man is good.  People are in the dark about how to define goodness.  

Is hard work, eloquent speech, fasting an example of goodness?

Good springs from love. 

All religion teaches love as the source because it is the common purpose shared by God and man.  Religion has been making effort toward unity between God and man by stressing the common purpose of love.

God's search for men of goodness has love as the ultimate goal and man is searching for God for the very same reason.

The text today is rewritten and based on the speech Core of Unification.

God Needs Liberation, Too

"No matter how many times I may have said that I want to liberate God, God says, 'All right. Before you consider liberating me, please take care of the problems of the world first. Then come and tell me that you want to liberate me.' This is why I have sought out the most difficult problems of the world and taken them upon my shoulders."

Many people and nations may wonder how such a country with such a young government ever came to power as America in a few short hundred years.  America was started with the founding heart of rebels.  People who left their country who wanted to serve God and not the church on a new land.  Their reference to God and the Bible in their laws and in their way of life is directly correlated to the country's rapid growth and dominance in world. 

Fast forward not too far into the future and America's biggest problem is the loss of the order and discipline of love and the lack of a guiding clear philosophy of life.  True Love has been downgraded in our ways of life and through the media.  There are many religions, but no guiding principle of how individuals express their love on a brother, matrimonial and parental level.  In order for every person to experience true, lawful love, we need to restore its discipline and order.  In addition, the majority of the population lack a superior philosophy of life, and thus life their life day to day without a central, guiding principle.

The other problem in the world today is communism.  The walls came tumbling down, but communism still spreads its atheistic viewpoint like a poison to the world.  We live in a free country that practices freedom of speech and faith, but everyday we lose religious freedom in all facets of life as the atheistic viewpoint takes over our country.

Satan's vehicle is communism, and he must be driven out.  The faithful must reestablish the order of love and restore the eternal unchanging ideology which is the central theme of all human life.  This is not an easy task. 

The only way for change is for the Messiah to return and guide humanity to solve these problems.  That's right, for us to pick up our plows and begin the work of recreation.  If restoring the world was easy with the snap of God's finger, the world would have been restored in the garden of Eden and God would have never given us free will to choose to live by His rules.

Because God gave His children freedom to choose His way or the satanic way, when we chose satan's words over His in the garden and to this day, it essentially placed God in a prison not of his own making.  A prison where he watches His children get murdered, become reckless and live individual lives without His purpose and die and go to hell.

So, God is all powerful, but gave His children 5% responsibility to go after that power. 


The Order of Love

When the Messiah returns, his first task is to restore the central ideology which will lead humanity to reestablish the order and discipline of love.  Then humanity will be able to return to the true, lawful love.

The second responsibility to return order to the world is to chase out satan. 

What about you? Are you restoring the order and discipline of love within the realm of your life and activity? You need the Marriage Blessing given directly by God in order to do begin the true work of recreation of your lineage. The Blessing is the pinnacle in your course of restoring love.

These are not my ideals and concepts, but those taught by the Returned Messiah.  These teachings explain what the world should be like, what the nation should be like, and how society should function and how each of us should live. 

These teachings of the Divine Principle which is based on the bible is the basis of each of Achieve World Peace blogs.   The central theme is the ideal pattern for individuals, societies, nations, the world and even the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.  Each of these facets has a clear-cut formula to follow to return to true love.

Right now, religion is trying to banish Satan from this world, day in and day out.  You and others are waging a "Knock Out Satan" campaign whenever you restore the order of love and the ideology of God.  On the other side of that, satan is always trying to promote illicit and abnormal love.  Abnormal is when objects just float around without following any principle and is confusing front and back, right and left.

What is abnormal love?

The evidence is evident in our nation when it is 'normal' for a gentleman to sleep with one woman one night and prowls for another every night.  Also, when one has sexual relations with a family member or homosexuality tendencies.  These are just a few examples of abnormal illicit love that has nothing to do with God's original love.  Even though these practices have become the norm, it goes against God's purpose of creation and ideal of love.

How many of us desire and hope for any type of these loves?  Does society agree that these few examples are abnormal type of love or normal?  Society has deemed that temporary, illicit love is in fact normal behavior. 

If one is not clear on the distinction of abnormal and normal love, satan will keep following them until they fully practice the normal way of love.  Once true normal love is practiced which begins with living for the sake of others, then satan can no longer follow that person.  How can he follow someone who does not have his traits?

When we live for a selfish purpose, only looking out for ourselves, we make it easy for satan to always be right behind us.  There is a remedy for anyone following the wrong path.  Once we start living for the sake of others, satan must retreat.  This is the dividing line. 

Satan can not claim someone who is living for the sake of the whole and for others.  Once you are living for the sake of all people of the world, the entire world will welcome you and satan will have to go away.

Since the world is entrenched deeply in sin, how do we save the world and then release God from the prison in which we have placed Him?  We have been discussing about the two principal needs of mankind: liberation from illicit love and liberation from the bondage of false ideology. 

When mankind is liberated, satan will leave completely.  He will not have a source to attach and have give and take relations to exist.  The presence and existence of satan who was formerly the good angel Lucifer is the main cause of God's imprisonment.

How is it possible for God to be imprisoned?  Because God gave you and I free will to follow Him or not, we chose to not follow God and satan has complete control over God's creation.  Does this sound like freedom for either humanity or God?  It look as if the only winner is satan.

As soon as Satan leaves, God will stand up and slowly walk out to greet us. "Finally I'm free!" He will say. "I have no more worries in the world! Who did it? The Messiah, the Second Advent did. He liberated me!"

Liberation

Until now, you didn't fully comprehend what I meant by the liberation of God and mankind or even knew that God required to be rescued from slavery as well. You didn't know the definition of liberation. By establishing the central ideology that restores the discipline of love and expels Satan, you are liberating mankind and liberating God. Is the task easy or difficult?



When every individual receives this ideology and puts it into practice, there will be no room for Satan. God will be welcomed everywhere. That is how liberation will take place. So to liberate mankind means to liberate God. The two liberations are simultaneous; they are not separate events. One solution will suffice.

Therefore, why do you go out to witness? It is to accomplish this very task. You witness for the liberation of mankind and the liberation of God. Who is working hard and daily for the direct liberation of God, those who accept and practice the words of the Returned Messiah who reveals the hidden truth that the disciples of Jesus' time did not have the ears to hear or the heart to believe.


Digest Everything Through Love

There are many wars, but the world is embroiled in an ideological war. There is a conflict between the God-accepting ideology and the God-denying ideology, between democracy and communism. What is the ideology of the Returned Messiah? Completely on the opposite spectrum, it  is Unificationism. We are bringing everything into harmony and unity. The role of our ideology is to digest everything; it is a "melting pot" ideology.

Reverend Moon the author of the Divine Principle said, "I have a healthy stomach: I can take in everything and digest it. I can eat hot pepper sauce and Korean kimchee, and at the same time I can eat cheese and bread. It makes no difference; everything can be digested into one stomach. Such a stomach is ideal, isn't it? You must be able to digest everything to be an ideal person. What kind of person are you?"
