We Choose Heaven or Hell

Religious people who tell those who drink that they are going to hell have no peace of mind.

“I am weary of them. When I see them saying, ‘That goes against the Bible, Matthew chapter so-and-so. You're going to hell,’ really, those rascals. If killing someone could save a nation, then don't you think they would pass a law to free the person who had killed for the sake of saving the (whole) nation?”

You decide whether you go to heaven or hell.

“I do not decide. God does not decide. You are the one who decides. If you complain, it is hell. If you go with a grateful heart to places where you would have complained, it is heaven.”

God did not make hell out of jealousy or envy. Since false people appeared, God made hell as a warehouse in which to manage them.

For example, if you bought a cabbage to make coleslaw, but while making it you discovered the outer leaves had been eaten by worms, you would dump it into a rubbish bin.

This is the concept behind the creation of hell.

Since humanity committed the crime of the Fall, therefore, to remove sin from existence, someone who is qualified must emerge to reverse this problem.

Before the Second Coming, all people who were born on earth were destined to go to hell because there was no true condition for God to save them.

The highest level was paradise which was a waiting room for the creation of heaven.

Humanity has been born of a fallen lineage.  There has not been a moment when all of humankind has bowed down and attended God with all of its heart.

Adam and Eve grew according to the ideal of creation before they fell.

But they never attended God from a relationship of the heart.  How do we know this?  Because if Adam and

Eve truly could feel God’s heart and pain, they would have never crossed the boundaries of love which ultimately separated them from their Parent.

What is hell?

Hell is a place that has no relation to God or His love, life or lineage.

No matter how well you do while on the earth, the situation after the Fall is such that you cannot establish a relationship with Heaven or the realm of the Fall.

This is a bitter tragedy we find on earth.

It is a fact that human beings who were created by God fell from a good position where they can not relate to Him.

We were to lovingly attend Him, but He was left deserted by His children who followed His servant.  No one believed in Him or knew Him.

The bitter grief of heaven and earth is that no one attended and related with God in heart.

You have to hate your fallen, imperfect self.

You should hate your body.  Your enemy’s sinful blood pumps through your very veins.  You should understand that you cannot cut this line with a knife or burn it away.

You have become a waste factory that just consumes things of the creation and cannot receive God’s complete protection.

What determines the division between heaven and hell?

Just knowing or preaching the Bible is not enough.  It is decided through acting upon the original heart.

The boundary line between heaven and hell is determined by the heart.

When you cannot conform to the ideal of love, a reaction comes against you.

No one tells you to go to hell or sends you there.  This is why the Bible states “Love your enemy!” Genuine love gives its influence on the enemy.

If one sends love to his enemy once, twice, thrice and four times, the enemy disappears or is absorbed by this love for sure.  It is because love has such a great power that Jesus said to love the enemy.

How do you think God feels when He sees His children suffering in hell?  Would He sit joyfully on the throne happy with just a few praising His glorious name?

He is desperate trying to give them eternal life.

This is the only way that His responsibility as a parent will be fulfilled.

If after the Fall God eliminated every false thing then He could not stand in the position of a parent.

This is why God even has to eventually liberate hell no matter how hard the situation.

When a rebellious child sees his parents desperately trying to save him he will recognize how much they are doing for him and shout this out thousands of times for his sins.

A son will repent till his bones melt and his flesh falls away.  The parents’ heart is such as this.

Not even Satan can accuse God for His love in trying to save humanity.

No rule prevents forgiveness for a person who repents based on the love of his parents.

From this kind of heart, hell must also be liberated.  This is the way of a true devoted child.  Therefore, members believe that we must liberate even hell.

Why?

Because God has such a parental heart for His children, for us who have suffered from the Fall.

Once one is caught in hell, it is a place one can never escape.

Despite the fact that we feel that our mother, father and relatives are going to hell, you do not really feel the desperation to save them.  You think that it will somehow work out.

However, let’s think seriously about our beloved family members going to hell.

Human nature is such that if your parents were to go to prison, you would cry.  You would do all sorts of things to get them released.

Then, if you knew that your own sons and daughter, parents, and relatives, brothers and sisters were going to an eternal prison, would you just think casually about their fate?

The 'Self' is the Ticket to Hell

What is the greatest obstacle to entering heaven?

Yourself is your greatest enemy.

Hell and the satanic world were created when humanity became aware of ‘self’.  Lucifer took actions centered on himself.  He intensely thought of himself and gratifications only.

What is a traitor?

A person who puts himself before his nation is called a traitor to the nation.  Same with a family member before his family.

This path leads to hell and leads a person to ruin.

This foundation called the self, and centered on the self, leads to death.

Wanting to receive love is the path to hell and belongs to Satan's side. 

On the other hand, the path that wants to give love is the path to heaven and belongs to heaven’s side.
Parental love is on the side of heaven.  It continues to give even when the child refuses to receive.

Though all humankind is fallen, the true path still remains through parental love.

Because God is a parent, and we are His children, that kind of love still remains in fallen human beings.
Where are you headed?

“I will go to the spirit world and stay at the highest point of all kinds of love. Just as there is a North Pole and a South Pole, there is a Love Pole. No matter how hard you try searching at the half way point, or however much you go around, you will not find me.

“Since you cannot find me, you might say, "Rev. Moon went to hell." Would it be easy to stay at the highest point? "I will not freeze to death at the North Pole. I will be like a fireball of love!"

This is a great ideal and a great system of thought. So, everything will be fulfilled. Even God is inside me. The people of the world are inside me. Those who say that they will inherit love are of my tribe! You're not offended?”

If God was to visit hell, all of the satans there would bow their heads to Him.

Even Satan cannot oppose absolute love. 

All the gates of hell would open for God.

This is the basic rule for all relationships of all creation.  The mind has no boundaries.  God is like this; He does not have any boundaries in His mind.

If God wants to go to heaven, He can go there; if He wants to go to hell He can go there, too.  This means there are no walls in the mind of God.

A person who is on his way to his own execution would detest any clothes they wear no matter how elegant they are.

But if someone’s clothes were made by loving hands of his wife, no matter how ugly they might be, the clothes would shine extremely brightly.

We can conclude that anything done out of the essence of love will be welcomed by God wherever it goes. 

Even if something made out of love was to go to hell, God would go and be there with it.

People who go to prison for the person they love, they are not really in prison.

They are in a place that deepens the bond between them.  Therefore, true love can both control God at the highest of hell and at the lowest level.

This principle is the same throughout creation in the earth and in the world of plants and animals.  They all like the song of love.

When you wake up in the morning, would you like to hear the sound of birds singing love songs or the sound of them fighting one another?

Of course, you would like to hear their song of love.

In this universe there are no borders in places that have true love. 

Those who live with true love have what it takes to pass through any place.

They have the ingredients to control God and hell.  Love has the strength to break down barriers and go anywhere.

Love became the pillar that let this universe come into being. 

In the same way, love, false love became the pillar that supports hell.

How difficult it is to make this right after something like this went so wrong.  Even if you wash it with a powerful bleach, because love makes up its root, it becomes tainted again.

Only the strength of true love can make total unity. 

Words of love would even make Satan in hell and the entire world say “Mmmm”.

The power of love makes everything become one. Is there anyone who can deny this?

Our work of restoration is building a cable car from the human world that is in the depths of hell to the highest summit where God is.

What is that cable made of?

If we made this connection with just money, it would snap in an instant.  What about with just knowledge?  Even a cable made with authority will not be enough.

A cable made of love that transcends the top and the bottom should be used to hang the cable-car so it can run smoothly on the cable.

What is a clown’s major job?

It is to make people happy and dance around.  If you cannot dance, at least keep up with the time.

If God was to see church members dancing in such a place, He is not so stingy to say, “Oh, dear, you as the founder of the Unification Church are found keeping time with a clown, then you go to hell.”

God is amazing.  But we have limited Him to our simple thinking.

God’s mind is not small like the leg of an ant.  We haven’t really realized that He is such a great God that if He opens His mouth to inhale all the air in the universe, He still have room to spare.

When we look at God’s providence throughout history, do you think that He send people in the spirit world to hell and only works to restore those on earth?

Since God is love in the highest sense, wouldn’t He desire that His providence of salvation be completed even if it crosses the borderlines of hell? Or He would not recognize those in hell and not mind they suffer for eternity?

The human mind is not like crystal but like ice. 

The mind has all sorts of odds and ends frozen within it after the Fall.

We work to melt it to get rid of these odds and ends and make it into a lump of pure ice that God could suck.

You can only be restored into a lump of ice that belongs to heaven rather than hell once you think you will become pure ice that God likes.


Return for tomorrow’s  Post: We Choose to go to Heaven or Hell

Hell Has no Relationship w/God's Love

Truly, what was the Fall?

Humanity fell into the darkest of nights because of the Fall, transforming our ticket to heaven to a ticket to hell.

Hell is a place that has no relationship to God's love, life or lineage or even to God Himself.

Hell is a place where you are alone and you are shut of from everything.

You have a longing for what you cannot attain.  You will feel the happiness in the large realm of this universe, but you will not be able to move one inch.

“So what is it that I am doing? I am initiating a movement to love God, heaven and earth, based on a universal system of thought: the Principle.

“This is so that from now on, you have to prepare the way you will take when you go to the spirit world. You are doing great things by making such preparations.”

Do you know how vast the spirit world is?  Since it is such an infinite world, you must have a global and universal mind to keep up with the pace of that world.  Therefore, you are making that world the stage for your activities while you are here on earth.

This is impossible if you are individualistic and worry only about your own needs.

If you are not able to connect to the whole, what greater hell is there than that?  It would be the same as catching an eagle and locking him in a dark hole where he could not move or feed.

The eagle symbolizes America.  Wouldn’t it be miserable to live just to eat and satisfy the stomach?  Is that happiness or unhappiness?

To commit suicide is the worst sin of all sins. It is an atrocity that destroys the universe. 

A person who commit’s the crime of killing themselves will go to the lowest of hells.

What if one of your nostrils was plugged and you could only breathe just a little bit through your other nostril?  That would be hell.

Hell is where you are unable to receive when you want.  It is also when you cannot give when you want to.

How long can you endure holding your breath?  How long can you go without exhaling or inhale when you need to?  That is hell.

You cannot eat without God's love in the spirit world. 

Without God’s love in the spirit world, you do not have the right to eat.

Hell is a place where you watch others eat, but cannot eat.  Only those who have experienced the life of heaven on earth with their mind and body united can take ownership in the Kingdom of Heaven.

What do you do when you are in spirit world?  Do you still eat?

You eat food based on love.  Therefore, a person who doesn’t have love will not be able to open his mouth no matter how much he wants to eat.  The food will jump from his face.  This is his punishment.

The world on earth is in chaos.  What about spirit world?  Since humans go to the spirit world in confusion, then the spirit world ends up in chaos as well.

Stealing something becomes a habit.  Once a person who steals a lot on earth goes to spirit world, he naturally wants to get something for nothing on the other side.  Since it is difficult to deal with an unprincipled person such as this, hell was created to separate them.

God did not create hell.  It is a storage place for waste and has nothing to do with God’s love.  All of humanity who begins from false love inevitably go to hell.

God also does not send people to hell, people go to hell on their own accord.

If a person who lived an evil, selfish life on earth was to go to heaven, they would not be able to breathe because the air there is God’s love.

Since they were not able to exercise their love lung while on earth, they will have to go to the lower parts of spirit world where they are comfortable.

Therefore, the person who goes to heaven lives with God eternally.

Since God’s mind and body are united, if a man and woman and their family can do the same and live together in front of God, and become His object partners, they will naturally go to the Kingdom of Heaven in spirit world after leaving the earth.

Those who lived a life with God while on earth could not live in hell.  They would not be able to breathe and the smell and taste would be repulsive.

If you reach heaven, you would be able to freely come and go from there even visit hell.  Would you rather be a person who is limited to a space in hell or a liberated person who is free?

You have to think of difficult people as the gate keeper and think that you are going to touch and melt their heart so they will guide you when you reach those gates.

Hell is a place without a future. 

Heaven has a future.

The Fall began in the place where there is no future in the public sense.  The self became the center and living for humanity’s own sake forsaking god is the way to hell.

Living for others is the way to heaven. That is the concept of heaven and hell. 

A flattened balloon slowly rises when it is filled with hydrogen.  It seems that the balloon can rise to any height, but it has limits.

A balloon stops at the place where it finds a balance with its own weight and remains at the same level of atmospheric pressure.

This is the same case in the spirit world.

Those who are greedy go down. They are heavy. 

For that reason, hell is where heavy things gather and collide with one another.

What if a racist white person went to the spirit world and the gate keeper to heaven was black?

If a person was blocked from entering heaven and made to go back, he might cling to the gatekeeper at that time and cry out for them to have mercy on them.

He would experience a living hell that is hundreds and thousands of times greater than any suffering they caused the black people in his lifetime.

“If I were God, I would also put such keepers by the gates. “

Everyone lives under the rule of the universal law.  No one can free themselves from this law.  This affects the order of love and morality from the family level to universal and then God.

One who has violated heavenly law is not free to go anywhere in the universe.

There is nowhere to run or go where you wish.

To attain a life that is supported by all the laws including the laws of nature, the true path is the one giving love and living for the sake of others.

You should realize that hell does exist. Hell is a place one goes who does not follow the way of carrying the banner of love.

“I hope that you can stand in court and be victorious.”

When you do not have the discipline to practice love, when you go to spirit world a reaction comes against you from everyone there, nobody will tell you or send you to hell.


Public or Private

Being public means living for the greater good, doesn't it? Being private means putting yourself first. Living for your own sake leads to hell. Public-mindedness leads to heaven.

Unification Church members are not without value.

We may look simple, but we are not a simple group that believes that we go to heaven by just going to church on Sunday or through just holding a Bible under our arm or giving tithing every now and then.

As a people, once we believe in something, we do it till the end.

Even if our spouse grabs us from following this path we are intense and follow the path of faith even at the risk of divorce.

The reason you suffer now is for the sake of finding the freedom of heaven. 

Even if you go to hell, after living such a courageous life on earth, no one in hell can hold you there after they have judged your life.

Going down to a lower position is something that would never happen in a society of brothers, but is only possible within the realm of the parental heart.

God can go to the bottom of hell where His children suffer; this is the example of a parent - a true parent.


Return for Tomorrow’s Post: The Self is Ticket to Hell

This post was rewritten and derived from the religious book Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book Six, Chapter two, Section 2.

People Serve Each Other in Heaven

If there is a member of the church whose children wear poorer clothes than their own children, you should not be able to sleep and want to give him clothes.

This is the heart of God, of a parent.

The leading thought of the Unification Church is to have the heart of a parent, wear the clothes of a servant, shed sweat for the earth, tears for humankind and blood for heaven.

Heaven is the world of love where you bring your children.  You receive love and give it out to the universe.

“I love God. I know everything right through from the spirit world to the physical world.”

The heavenly spirit world is mystery it is a place where people go who live according to the principles of existence that God established.

This means living for the sake of others. The ideal heaven is a world that is built based on such heaven.

What should you do in order to prosper?

You must be selfless.

We practice selflessness living for the sake of others. This is the dividing line between heaven and hell.

This is how spirit world is.

You know the dwelling place where people lived for others and for this reason you need to live for others and live the way of thinking of the saints, the teachings of the Savior, and God's way of thinking.

God thinking is to live absolutely for the sake of others.

Smaller things are invested for the greater good.

This is why the family should sacrifice itself for the sake of the tribe; the tribe sacrifice for the people; and the people for the nation; and the nation for the world;

Those who take national property and give it to their families will suffer in hell and will perish.  If they do not go to ruin while here on earth, they will hang upside down in spirit world.

Life on earth and heaven are opposites.

People on earth spend their whole lives centered and lived for their own purposes.

Spirit world is a place where people are supposed to live for the sake of the whole, therefore, by becoming people who can become an object partner to God can say ’amen’ for eternity.

Those who live on earth for their own sake cannot go to heaven. 

What is an evil person?

It is a person who unites everything through himself - not God.

Such a person may seem good by human standards, but is a dictator and a villain.  He goes directly to hell. This is not allowed in the Church.

“The individual must live for the family; the family for the tribe; the tribe for the people; the people for the nation; the nation for the world; the world for the universe; the universe for the cosmos; and the cosmos for
God. Then who does God live for? He lives for you.”

Religion must teach them to live for the sake of others.

The higher the level of the religion, the more strongly it places emphasis on living for  others.  Therefore, we must be meek and lift up many people and live for their sake.

Religion teaches to sacrifice and serve because it is training to conform to the rules of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Once people live on earth, they enter the spirit world.

A person who can go to other countries and live for the people in that country with a heart of a mother, and a heart of a saint to save the world from evil will go to a higher place.

“I think in that way. ‘I am one man, a general who represents sons of filial piety of the historical ages, a general of patriots and of saints.

“Although everyone else who had the name of God's son failed, I was born as a victorious son: There is only one thing that will enable you to say that. It is to live absolutely for others.”

It is simple: those who give and serve others and forget what they have given can digest the fallen world.
There is no one born who can avoid death.

After 80 to 100 years living on earth, people will die.  People who lived on for their own interests, when they go to spirit world they enter hell.  On the other hand, those who lived for others go to heaven.

These two worlds are separated at death.

There is a long line of people, the longest line in the world of people who give their property to heaven.

Therefore, everyone should become penniless and offer everything leaving only tears, mucus and blood to offer only.

“I was like that. There was nothing else left to offer. I offered all my life and property. If you have a savings bankbook for your sons and daughters, should you use that for them? Or should you use it for the salvation of the world?

“Only if you think in that way and act upon it can you participate in the ranks of the Messiah's chosen ones. You should live for others. Live for the whole and for the greater good. Live for the world, for God, and for the liberation of humankind.

"You have to motivate people to change to the new lineage through your efforts.”

In the future, there will be a competition to live for the sake of other people.  Why?  Because those who live for others go to the highest position in the Kingdom of Heaven.  Also, when you live for such a person, you can raise up by using them as your foothold.

Just like a launch pad, you will be launched and fly into the sky.

If you live for the sake of someone, you demonstrate the same motivation that God had in creating His partner in love. 

You stand in the position of loving counterpart to that person

For that reason, follow someone and live for others.

“You work following me, don't you? Aren't you trying to occupy God by leaping upwards to become the object of my love? Is it true, or not? Satellites should be launched towards a destination, shouldn't they? It is the same idea. Satellites are symbolic of today's believers trying to jump up towards the Kingdom of Heaven, crossing thousands and tens of thousands of miles.”

"In the spirit world, people live not just for themselves, but for the whole.  A person who lives for others 100 percent says, ‘Walk over me and go on.”

Even though America is big, if there is someone who lives more for the nation than he, everyone will welcome him even if he steps on the president to do so.  But if someone only lives for themselves, everyone becomes his enemy.

It is the same in the spirit world. If someone lives for a greater cause, he can pass along freely

To go beyond the family level, it is to follow the way of true love by living for other people.

If you are fifty years old and lived for the sake of the salvation of the universe and heaven’s principle for over twenty-five years, you can go to heaven.  You will live in the better part of the spirit world.

But the ones who lived their whole lives centered on their own ideas and own thinking go to the original homeland of evil called hell.

By knowing these facts, you can liquidate your own sinful, fallen past way of living for your own being.

If you make effort to live the rest of your life to live for the sake of others, nation, the world, heaven and earth and God, this follows the path to the ideal world of heaven.

Even when Jesus was about to die, he did not protest but told God as He willed even though Jesus asked for the cup to pass from him.  Jesus was ready without question to offer himself as a complete sacrifice for God’s will.
This attitude brought Jesus closest to God because it enabled him to go deeper.

The one who strikes such a person will be instantly destroyed.  God would personally inflict punishment upon that person.

The person who lives self-centered life can never occupy heaven - he will be in hell.  Even if he was a great minister he will find out how such a life leads to death when he gets to spirit world.

The Unification Church tries to save its enemies and even the communists, but the communists try to torture members.

So, what kind of love should have dominion over the world.  You should not become strong by becoming an evil person.  But, if we become strong based on love that lives for other people, it will be enough to save the world.

Heaven is where you live a life of giving. 

Even God has to give and parents give to their children.

A parent’s mind is such that they want to give and give again when you have something good.

“If I can give one thousand things and forget that I gave, in front of God who gives a hundred things and forgets, God will surely become my partner. Do you know this?”

If a person tries to live for goodness more than God would such a person go to hell or heaven?  He would be in the position to sit with God at the supper table and share meals of love with Him.

“I have experienced the reality of the spirit world more than anyone else.”

Heaven is our original homeland.  The spirit world is a major special field of study.


Return for Tomorrow’s Post: Heaven in Spirit World Emerges from Heaven on Earth

This post was rewritten and derived from the religious book Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book Six, Chapter two, Section 2.

What Kind of Place is Heaven?

What kind of place is Heaven?

It is a place where God’s love dwells at the core.  It is the realm where the environment of God’s love is established.

The kind of person that lives here is one who can harmonize with His love.

Since heaven is the world where we live for the sake of other people, you have to go based on this concept.

If you only want to be served, you will be destroyed. 

Heaven is filled with God’s love.

Heaven is different from the secular world.  We are taught by religion to live for the sake of others, be obedient to sacrifice and serve.  The secular world does not have such teachings.

This was God’s secret strategy against Satan so people could receive a good fortune, even though they are unaware of the heavenly law.

You go to heaven on the tracks of love. 

Love is not like elastic, so when it is pulled, it will not be thinned.

The more the line of love is pulled, the thicker it becomes.  Therefore, when one becomes the king of suffering for the sake of God’s will, this is a secret weapon to occupy the world.

What kind of world is heaven?

It is not a world where people treat each other with animosity, jealousy or turn green over another’s fortune or happiness.



One person's success represents the success of the whole.


A person’s joy is not for himself only, but can be shared by the whole.

Heaven is such a place where people can be pleased over other’s happiness and everyone can join in and rejoices in other’s rejoices.

In heaven, you smell through the air of love.  There is no place in heaven that does not throb with life.
   
Since people in heaven would be from God’s pure lineage, when God is sad, then the entire spirit world living as a cell would feel sad.  Also, when God feels joy, everyone would feel the same.

This is how God’s love moves throughout the Kingdom of Heaven.  The world responds to this love and becomes artistically beautiful through the relationship between the elements of creation which are all connected by lineage.

If God is happy, you are happy; if God is sad, you are sad. 

Will we struggle in heaven?

Wouldn’t that world be boring?  What would we do there?  When you eat, you should do so feeling love.

 You should wear clothes feeling love -live feeling love and travel embodying God’s essential love.

If we do not live in this way daily feeling God’s love, there will be no harmony.

A person who lives in this way where they occupy God’s essential love, they will occupy a high place in spirit world.

Why does God exist?

He came into being and lives through true love.  For this reason, we were born and live because of true love.

True love expressed through human beings is the blossoming of absolute value. 

God and human beings do not have a reason to complain when we live in this way.

Human beings are the flower of the universe; with true love as the center, both sides become one.

The right and left sides will both scream out in joy with their hands in the air. Everyone unites and releases a fragrance.

While we are on earth, we train to attend God.  We should attune with other peoples’ minds.

Siblings with the same mind live together in the spirit world. If  you aren't trained to live like that in this world, there will be a collision in the next world.

God is absolute; there is no forgiveness if you deviate from the Principle.

You should be in accord with peoples’ minds and harmonize with them.

When one perfects his character, he makes friends wherever he goes and can be at hoe anywhere including God’s throne.

How do you go to heaven?

You have to be crazy for God’s love. You have to love God more than Adam and Eve, love Jesus more than Peter.

If you are not able to reach this level of loving, then the realm where God can love cannot be restore.


Do not worry that you have no money. Do not worry that you have no children. If you continuously follow this path for ten or twenty years, you will be able to scale very high and steep mountains.

You may feel when you walk this religious path that you only go through hardships and gradually decline, but actually, you are moving higher and higher.

By being persecuted, the church becomes bigger.

One in the family who is being constantly persecuted for the common good, can become the master of that family.  In other words, he becomes an owner in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Seven Principles for Loving Relationships Part I

 

We speak upon having mind and body unity often. Once one is able to center their fallen body upon their godly mind, this principle fosters and furthers the flow of true love.

This is one of the following seven principles.

Why does religion emphasize principles or rules?

Because principles underpin both the natural and human worlds.

A Confucian philosopher, Chu his writes, “There is not a single thing that lacks an inherent principle.”

This is the same observation behind the idea of natural law, that there are invariable principles that govern the nature of everything in existence.

Even though we were endowed with free will and we can choose to live in accordance with these laws or not, the principles of the natural world and human world have many parallels to one another. This is because they both have the same origin, God.

We can also see that these principles reveal much about the Creator to us as well.

Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made

Romans 1.19-20

Reverend Sun Myung Moon gives us insight that the principles or laws for true love not only have counterparts in the created world, but they also tell us much about God.

The following is a summary of all of the principles. They are first briefly defined and then described within the larger universe.

Principles for True Love

1. Maturing Through Responsibility

We each grow to our fullness when we fulfill the responsibility to give out true love. 

Everything in creation automatically reaches maturity without effort except for humans. Our mind reaches its potential only through our exercise of our responsibilities.

God dwells where there is unity of mind and body. 

Due to the Fall, maturity does not maintain or come easily to us. We are disunited between our godly mind and our sinful, flesh or body. Humans do many things that they know they should not do and immediately regret them.

Saint Paul wrote about this state of disunity. He said that there was a war between his 'members' or body and his mind. Those who sought to have unity with their mind, they often had to walk a difficult path of self-denial and sacrifice in order to restore the natural relationship between their mind and body centered on God.

If we observe those who have good moral stature, these are people that the world deems as extraordinary

people who are pure-hearted, passionate for truth and righteousness, and morally advanced.

Such people have overcome selfish desires and attachment to worldly concerns such as lusts, obtaining possessions, influence, or even status in society.

Instead, they follow the dictates of what is good and true and beautiful even at the great sacrifices of themselves and their comfort. Jesus said they have 'overcome the world,” but they have overcome the influences of the world within themselves that are far from God in order to follow Him and the imperatives of true love.

Such people are called saints, sages and the enlightened ones.

We can say they are the incarnations of God's ideal.

When a person does attain unity between their mind and body, there is an affinity with the divine where He influences the person directly and bestows His extraordinary love and power to him or her.

When a person achieves this unity with God, he or she is able to manifest the divine nature out into the world and serve as a clear messenger or reflection of God.

Jesus boldly declared to the people, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” John 14.9

2. Mind and Body Unity

Mind and body unity allows us to give true love. This is where the mind leads the fallen body of the flesh. Everything is composed of external and internal dimensions where the external follow the internal. 

Our body, which leads humanity in the wrong direction, must obey the mind, but when humanity ignored God's will, the sinful body ended up dominating the godly mind.

All animals have natural harmony between their mental and physical aspects. Their inner instinctive impulses direct their body's behavior toward a purposeful action. This is how we come to admire the dignified beauty and elegant efficacy of even the simple house cat. Every single movement embodies grace. Nothing it does betrays its essential God-given feline nature.

Isn't every inch of an oak tree's trunk, branches, roots, leaves, acorn or bark true to its own nature?

We rely on the absolute integrity of the created world as part of our basic security.

The absolute integrity within the creation is a reflection of its Creator.

St. Paul write of God's “eternal power and divine nature” which is expressed and seen through the crated world. Romans 1. 20

The 'divine nature' represents His character while His 'power' represents His manifestation throughout the world. In other words, the divine Word and His deeds are one.

God is the ultimate example of harmony of word and deed, character and expression; the equivalent of mind and body unity. Because God has such a character and we as humans are created in His image, we also can manifest this kind of integrity. When we a person does, we see a authentic human and likeness of divinity.

Such individuals as a government official who speaks out against a tyrant even though he may be killed or persecuted, or the Oxford graduate who sets up his medical practice in a slum are people acting in a way that is true to their deepest heart and conscience.

These are examples of unity of mind and body in service to love.

For Reverend Moon, this mind and body unity is a prerequisite to altruistic loving. Thus it comprises a principle of true love.

3 Giving and Receiving

Through giving and taking, True Love is generated and sustained. When one initiates and invests love continually, then receives well

True love gives completely. It is total giving, to the degree that we ultimately reach a point where there is nothing left to give. After we reach that ‘zero point,’ we will have the capacity to receive much more than we gave. This process of giving and receiving will achieve a balance that continues forever. Relationships of giving and receiving will produce a world where people live for the sake of others centering on true love.

—Sun Myung Moon

Youngsters love to play catch with their fathers, teenagers enjoy talking to each other and young lovers delight in dancing together.

The commonality between all these activities: basic give and take between people. These small gifts comprise our lives.

Give and take is the substance of all relationships.

Conversation is basically just an exchange of words, and marriage is an exchange of concern and support. Through that exchange, the heart is transmitted back and forth.

Giving and receiving is a second universal principle which comprises and sustains true love.

Just like everything else, love depends on give and take, communication, support, working and playing together. The genesis of love depends on it.

Interaction inspires affection.

A patron who exchanges a few words with a bus driver everyday can create such a bond that the commuter misses her when she changes routes. A daughter-in-law can feel surprised at how she misses the cantankerous, complaining mother-in-law she cared for until her death.

We develop a bond when we are given enough dealings with just about anything or anyone. Reverend Moon observed this give and receiving action as a principle of true love.



Return for Tomorrow's Post: Seven Principles for Loving Relationships Part II


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

Will Jesus Return in the Flesh?

In light of those things, do you think the Messiah should come in the flesh or just in spirit?





In the ideal world we are going to build, we will be liberated from sin both on the physical and spiritual levels, under the actual guidance of God as our parent.



The Lord must come again in the flesh to accomplish his mission of saving the physical world.

The fall began by one physical man and woman on earth and can only be rectified through man on earth.

If he comes on the clouds of Heaven, spiritually, he cannot accomplish his mission of restoring the whole world both on the spiritual and physical levels. The problem is the sin and corruption of this world, and not of heaven.



 Q. How will the Lord come at the Second Advent?

We can see through the parallels of history repeating itself that Christianity is in the same position as the elders, scribes and priests at the time of Jesus.

At that time, the people were waiting for the return of Elijah in the sky.

Why did they hold onto this kind of belief?

They were simply following the Bible prophecy written down in Daniel 7:13:

"I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him."


Because of the great prophet Daniel, the people of Israel had every reason to expect the arrival of the Messiah to return on clouds of heaven. Christians are expecting the arrival of the Lord in the same way today, in a majestic show on the clouds.

Many people were denying Jesus as this Messiah because he was in the flesh - to them an ordinary man.

John condemened these people as the anti-christ in II John 7 "...many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the decevier and the anti-christ."

How, then will Jesus in our day and age if Elijah returned through the works of Jesus?  Still today the Jewish people wait for such an arrival and deem this second coming as the first coming of Elijah.

Unless we know the whole truth, we like the people of Jesus' time may fall victim of the words of the Bible by taking them in the literal sense.

In Jesus' time, the people were waiting for the return of Elijah upon the clouds and could not accept Jesus as the Son of God.  They would say that he had a mother and father, Joseph and Mary, how could he be the Son of God?

The disciples and the faithful of Israel argued this point all of the time.

Those who believed in the letter of the Old Testament and not the spirit would miss the Messiah.


Q: Then how will the Lord appear in the last days?

Believe it or not, we are in the exact same parallel to that of the time of Jesus Christ.  If we become slaves to the letter of the New Testament, we will commit the same crime that the elders, scribes and Pharisees committed 2,000 years ago.

What would you do if the Lord did return in the flesh?  If one told you that the Son of Man already returned with flesh and bones?  You would say I was a heretic.

It does not matter how one looks at the world, a man's views, or what one thinks, what matters is how God looks at the world.

The Bible states two prophecies: arrival of the Lord on the clouds and another that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

What do you do with these two prophecies?


If the Lord comes on the clouds, then he surely can't appear like a thief  unseen in the world.  There would be a lot of attention around his arrival on the clouds and could not be hidden from anyone's eyes.




When you see the signs of the Last Days, the Bible urges you to go into a dark room and pray. Who can tell you the time of the Last Days?

The angels do not know that day. Jesus said not even the Son of man knew when that day would arrive. Only God knows the time of the Last Days.

"That is why we have our answer from God. I am not saying you must believe me. I am just revealing what I know to be the truth, but you must verify this truth with God."

Christians simply believe in the words of the Bible and that Jesus will return on the clouds and only true Christians will be lifted in the air.


That is horrendous, empty, hollow. Religion is not out there, up in the stratosphere.

I am testifying that the Lord cannot appear in that kind of supernatural fashion. Jesus Christ could not return that way because the work of God is to be done here on earth.

The mission of the Messiah is a physical, realistic one. As a man he must come up from the bottom of human misery just as Jesus had done.



He must come to the most miserable nation and lift the human status from the slave position, to the servant position, to the adopted child position and to the direct child position by physically putting together the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. That is the mission of the Messiah.

Do not rely on anyone's answer.

In the Last Days, the Bible says, do not just believe anybody. Do not believe me, and do not believe someone just because of his or her official status in church or society.

Famous leaders will not necessarily give you the guidance God would want for you. Heaven is so near, and you can be lifted up by the spirit so high, that you can speak with God and receive the answer directly from Him if you are earnest enough.

 Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (Matt. 11:15) And he said to his disciples, "But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear." (Matt. 13:16) He was not referring to physical sense organs.

When you use your spiritual senses and listen for the Word of God, you will find His direction and guidance. But it is not easy to become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.

It is very difficult for a foreigner to go through the process to become a citizen of the United States.

How much more difficult it is to remove ourselves from our corrupt life and transfer ourselves into the Kingdom of Heaven. But we can achieve this very thing.

We know that even after Adam and Eve fell in the garden of Eden, they still were able to communicate directly with God.
The only way we might miss that day is if we look for the Lord to come from one direction, and he appears from another direction in an entirely unexpected manner, just as Elijah did at the time of Jesus.

This is the reason you may not see the Lord at the time of his second coming.

Another mysterious prediction was given by Jesus Christ himself He declared about the Lord at the second coming: "But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation." (Luke 17:25) If Christ at his Second Coming appears in the glory of the clouds of heaven, who would deny him?

Nobody would cause him suffering and pain. The only way this prophecy can be fulfilled is if people expect his return from the clouds and he suddenly appears as a humble man in the flesh.

Do you think that Christian leaders of today would make the same mistake that the priests and scribes and elders committed at the time of Jesus? Yes! They may very well deny him and reject him, because the manner of his coming would be very difficult for Christian leaders to accept. However, in this way the Bible will be fulfilled. He will first suffer and be rejected by this generation.

Jesus once asked a most important question: "When the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8)

Although we do have faith today, it may be mistaken faith based on a belief which expects the Lord must come on the clouds of heaven.

There are few men or women on earth with the kind of faith ready to accept the Son of Man appearing in the flesh.

If this were not the situation, the Bible prophecy we are discussing here would not be fulfilled. Please note that Jesus did not say there would be no believers, but he said there would be no FAITH.

Jesus also said: "Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them. 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.' " (Matt. 7:21-23)
This prophecy cannot be realized if his second coming is on the clouds of heaven.

At the time of the second advent, people again will be crying out, "Lord, Lord." At the same time they may be in the process of trying to crucify the Messiah if he appears in a manner different from their expectations. They will then be the worst evildoers.

This is the Bible. Those who truly have eyes will see Those who truly have ears will hear. Throughout history God has sent His prophets before the time of fulfillment. He warns the people of His plan. No matter how devout Christian faith is today, no matter how many millions of people are in the Christian churches, they and their churches and their world will decline once they fail to accept the Lord, however he may appear.

This was the tragic fate of Israel and the Roman Empire when they denied Jesus Christ, regardless of their righteousness otherwise.

We must therefore also be open to a new message. Jesus Christ did not come to repeat the Mosaic Law.

Just as Jesus revealed himself with the new expression of truth, the Lord at the second advent will reveal himself with God's truth for our time.

That truth will not be simply a repetition of the New Testament.

I hope that you consider these ideas seriously, and pray to God. He will answer you.



Return for Tomorrow's post: What Truly is Good, What is Evil?

Jesus Forgave Without Shedding His Blood

We hear often about the blood Christ without truly understanding the significance.  On day of Communion, many people of faith take in the drink of wine and bread as Jesus did with his disciples at the final supper to indicate the drinking of his blood and bread.  How much of a controversy this would have caused to many believers then.

What is the importance of Jesus' blood and why is it so misunderstood by many?

Many Christians place salvation exclusively from the blood of Jesus. This is a mistake in the sight of God.

Even before Jesus shed his blood, he already forgave others for their sins and transgressions.

Therefore, it was not necessary for Jesus to die shedding his blood to bring about salvation - it was an alternative route from God's original plan.

The Bible records the account of the prostitute who was about to be stoned.  Jesus told anyone who felt they were without sin to throw the stone at her.  In everyone's hearts, they knew they could not condemn her and they drifted away in shame.  Then Jesus spoke to the woman who was accused and told her that no one condemned her and he would not condemn her either and not to sin no more.

What does this mean scripture truly mean? By his own words Jesus offered forgiveness.

Therefore, to bring about salvation to the earth, it was not necessary for Jesus to die before completing his mission.  Jesus didn't give anyone a raincheck to come back for his forgiveness after his death.

 

 

Jesus could open the way to salvation to everyone by the Word of God.

 

God's plan of salvation does not require bloodshed by necessity.

Q. What does salvation mean?

Salvation means that living men, women and families on earth will enjoy the garden of Eden as God had intended from the beginning.

We need to realize the love that Jesus brought to this earth - not the alienation, bloodshed and his death.  His love and forgiveness should be told more often than his end.

Death came when human beings departed from God when they misused the love of God.

After the first parents fell away from God, human physical bodies remained alive.  Resurrection means to accept the word of God and to become the possessor of God's love.

What if Jesus was to appear on earth for the first time right now or on television?

Would you like to have spiritual salvation only through him being murdered and shedding his blood or would you want to have Jesus bringing about salvation with his should and body raising an exemplary Godly family to which to follow?

 

You have to reach the point where you are one with Jesus in flesh and blood.

That's why he set up the condition of the sacrament: Christians must feel they are actually eating Jesus' flesh and blood.

They should actually feel Jesus' life and love more than just eating a piece of bread.  Then they should also feel they are drinking his blood.

Salvation will not come about until that moment. 

This was Jesus' method to bring humankind out of Satan's world into God's uniting the believer through this real sense experience.

This means that Satan is cut off and humanity is engrafted to Jesus and we can feel this oneness.

There is a further vision for Christianity: people go through total salvation on the spiritual AND physical level.  What does this mean?  Jesus' body was attacked and lost by Satan, but he must return again to bring about salvation of our physical body leaving it un-attacked by Satan.  In other words, Satan attacks our body through diseases, mental illnesses and accidents. 

This is the prophecy which will be fulfilled at the time of the Lord of the Second Advent.

If this is hard to grasp, please ask seriously in your prayers guidance on these matters. Ask either Jesus Christ or God himself.

If Jesus had lived and fulfilled his primary mission of bringing the Kingdom of God on earth, Christianity would never have been what it is today.

The purpose of Jesus' coming was for the salvation of the world. The chosen people were to be God's instruments. However, salvation was not intended only for God's chosen people.

For every soul upon the face of the earth, Jesus is the savior.

He is the savior of all humankind.

Should the Messiah come to the Christian world alone, or to the whole world? What God, together with the Christians, must do is cover the whole world both on the spiritual and physical levels.

Hobbies Industry is the Future

The future world is the age of hobby life Many wonder that if this new millenium is just the beginning of a life lived for God's Will, what kind of life and world will that be? Will it be like the Jetsons, with flying cars and push-button jobs or will we return to living off the earth finding alternatives ways to use the earth's energy as a resource? However, the new world may come, everyone envisions a world of incredible development and a better economic way of living. Human beings will be able to have enough time to enjoy their leisurely pleasures and have enough wealth spread among them to do so because of technology. As a result, humankind will learn and understand about the greatness of nature. We will have more appreciation for God as we will try to overcome the differences of culture, race and national borders. Isn't that the kind of world we are enjoying at the moment among the accounts of chaos? We are at the crux of a new era as the world of evil and destruction of the world falls away. After we have gone through this process in the world, then the ideal world will come.  We will enjoy the true life, a life of loving and caring for one another. The leisure industry will be the big enterprise of the future. The technological industrial age is an age where people do not have the need to suffer the need of hard labor due to automated technology. It is even almost that way now. Just like the Jetsons, machines work once the person pushes a button.  A time will come when there will be three or four machines that can produce products day and night where before it took thousands of people to do the same labor. Then what kind of industry will flourish in that age? It would be such things as the entertainment and fashion industry which both fall under the category of the industry of leisure. We have already entered this age. It has influenced the world already in not such a great way.  If these industries were centered on God, the world could be quickly influenced by His standards. This will be the time to build an economic foundation. The leisure and tourist industry are bound to develop and flourish. We have already passed the age of the slave labor where the president of a company worked at the desk in the office. The computer age has already made it where we can work anywhere outside of the country using man-made satellites. Orders are given while the executive is fishing on a boat while on vacation.  We are getting closer to a heaven on earth step by step. The boss can run the business from a position of freedom where he can enjoy his hobbies  and get rid of stress. The coming age where more countries, races and communities will unite, will need to have a way for families to travel around the world by car. An international highway is in the works to connect the four continents around the world.  This project seems impossible like the Panama Canal in its day and age, but is a necessary link to physically unite the world. This leisure industry will help people to feel God's happiness toward creation.  Artists will be influenced by the good spirit world to uplift the beauty of God's creation in their works. There is a system in development that will bring farmers who live close to nature to unite with those who live far from nature in order to develop and educate them.  We see this happening in many established corporations. People in urban areas can support them both through the best scientific technology. This is why developing the hobby business is important in order to enjoy many hobbies around the world. God did not create the world for His children to suffer, but for them to enjoy all the luxuries of His creation. The hobby culture will be able to help in that development. A life of leisure is the kind of life God likes.  You probably didn't know that your hobbies are connected to the creation. So many different hobbies are waiting for me. I never get exhausted. By enjoying one hobby after another, I automatically come closer to God's world. This is the best life that men can hope for. The hobby industry is the shortcut leading to the world of peace We must enjoy leisurely pursuits.  God did not create the world for His children in reluctance; He made creations so that He could feel its excitement. We also must experience this same joy when we experience God's creation. We should not do hobbies because someone tells us to do so, but we should do so because we enjoy them. All of these industries - leisure time, the hobby industry and hobby research and so on - should be centered on God. Only then can those be things that belong to God and used regularly by the beloved sons and daughters of God.  Otherwise, they become Satan's possession to destroy and distort away from God's purpose. I am not doing this for the money; in fact, I am investing a lot of money in order to develop these ideas. We have a lot of preparation to do in order to enter the spirit world. At the age of sixty you should go back to the farming area of your hometown and prepare by digging the land and exert yourself with devotion. Through fulfilling your responsibility in guiding the farming areas you fulfill the purpose of the hobby industry and leisure time iself. You then become a caring, warm-hearted person who is able to live in the upper level of the spirit world and make good use of your time there. We must develop the hobby industry not leisure industry from now on.  We have normally thought of the leisure industry based on how much profit can be returned. Fishing and hunting can be pursued for profits and commercial interests. That is what makes the leisure industry different from the hobby industry.  The hobby industry can spread to the smaller cities where people can enjoy themselves in each of the four seasons. We each have our own path and different tasks in which to fulfill. There are people who work at a factory, company and such with various jobs. There can be groups from 100 to 360 that are assigned to various jobs, in this way, different groups would do this work. Then fifty percent will be returned, therefore, the entertainment business is the best. The leisure industry is for profit while the hobby industry puts the hobby itself as its purpose. People say that people without money can't enjoy a hobby, but that is not true.  You can enjoy going on vacation once or twice a year; this is what the hobby industry would be able to do in the future. I believe that being the first to make such a worldwide organization is the short-cut in leading to peace in all fields, including the world's money market and human resources. That is why I have been preparing this ocean plan for twenty years.  So along with this hobby industry, I am thinking of doing farming as a hobby.  Back a hundred years ago, people spent most of their time surviving, cultivating and finding food and such.  This day and age, the youth and people have a more free time - this can be a problem as well for the world. Now, is the time to encourage people to live off of their hobby. Our job in the Completed Testament Age is to mobilize a great number of people.  In order to create this hobby industry, a large number of people will be needed. Which industry is best for interconnecting all of the people of the world which will be able to transcend the national boundaries and go beyond our cultural differences we experience coming from around the world. We will have the need for church activities. The only industry that can connect people of different background is the hobby industry, the industry of enjoying God's creation. We must prepare for the age of the hobby industry The hobby business is a term that has recently developed in the last three decades.  The age of urbanization will soon end and people will disperse out more widely. Men are made to live centering on hobbies. The hobby industry includes sports, hunting and fishing.  These were enjoyed at the World Culture and Sports Festival. We are opening up the tourist business worldwide. I am preparing the worldwide tourist business now. The establishment of our American bus company "Go Tour" was an essential link in the preparation for this.  From now on, the tour-leisure business will develop worldwide.  In the future, people will ride on our boats at tourist attractions around the world. We will attract tourists from any country and guide them with lots of money because we have a worldwide organization.  This is possible. Let us travel around the world while working and distributing goods. We can develop tourist areas and make a fishing ground. This area will be beautifully landscaped and kept free by making sure people do not throw cigarette butts or trash anywhere. This place will be a place free from environmental pollution. We will also make an area where people can sight see and enjoy their hobbies well.  We will create a tourist area that anyone will love instantly and wish to come and visit. By building such a heavenly place, then all the 7 billion people on earth would visit even compete to be among the first to get there. When have we as people of faith who work hard for the dispensation taken a vacation? I have made the foundation for you to have vacations in the warmer areas when it is cold, and in the colder areas when it is hot. The time has come now to do so. This is what is referred to as the hobby industry. I have climbed up to this position by receiving much persecution, but you will not be persecuted. Father Moon has prepared a foundation in South America. You can take responsibility, and take your tribe there and train them.  All fo the families in that country and their ancestors will come based on that foundation. All the families and the ancestors in spirit world can unite based on that kind of tribal foundation. I am preparing sites in Alaska and in Texas, and trying to make fishing areas and hunting grounds in 160 countries. Fishing and hunting are hobbies. They are hobbies of the upper class, of the people who live well. That is why I am promoting the hobby industry. I am going to lead it directly, by making a tourism organization. This is not just a dream, but if we are thinking of achieving God's dream of a heaven on earth, the hobby industry is the best industry to bring this to reality. We will connect these sites to the tourist industry that is already established around the world in order to create a people that can harmonize with one another. If you can influence the people, you can influence the world.  Instead of living within a small circle of relationships, you should live as champions of the diplomatic world who can relate with prominent people. All people need to have a hobby. In the future, people will no longer have global food problems.  In this future world of enjoying the creation, would you spend your time in fighting one another? Of course, when God created the world He did not envision disunity and suffering, but he had dreamed that we would all enjoy life having fun. You should be able to ride on the river on a boat with friends fishing and diving in the world of water.  Yet, majority of the world has yet to do these simple activities. This is why the hobby industry is necessary to broaden. We do not spend our time enjoying casinos, but we will organize a group and visit the casinos for two or three days. Historically, casinos are considered evil because of the crime rings that have secretly controlled them in Las Vegas. Those who have lost tens of thousands of dollars have brought ruin to their families, so if a person was to receive a lottery ticket worth 30% of that amount they can turn that misfortune around.  Those who visit the casinos should be given ideological education for a third of that time. The Messiah has turned the casinos into instruments that are able to draw on the dreams of others by centering it on the hobby industry. Those who are not turned in the right direction, they will continue to gamble even if their own fingers were cut off and even after making a determination not to gamble. Academic education represents the mind, while physical education represents the body. The hobby business was opened to lead the future direction toward the perfection of love. The world went in the wrong direction due to the wrong use of love and in the future we will enjoy our lives with fun activities. The world of the ideal family has evolved into the hobby industry. You can view everything of creation as a hobby. When you go where there are mountains, where there are rocks and trees, those are all of great interest.  For whom was all of this world created? God created so He would be able to embrace everything.  God created an environment for us that was an ideal place to live. The entire world today is a world of science, in which through the best technology, people are moving the world. For this reason, people take a serious view of the production process, calling it the hobby industry, whereas I call it the hobby life. There are several kinds of hobbies: the hobby for your eyes, for your nose, for you mouth, for your ears, to touch, for your body, for your mind, your love and so on. The ocean, land, animal preserves -  all of these will be connected to the hobby business.  Instead of killing animals in the wild, we will raise them. This foundation will become the blood, the body and bones of God's true son. As fallen men, we are like thieves robbing everything for our own blood, bones and skin.  This has to stop in this new era of living for God. The hobby business will be able to unite the original love in accordance with the highest turning point in history which is the blessing marriage of 3.6 million couples. The value of the arts continues to exist.  The hobby business is external because of this. Families should be fun as well. We are able to continue to live because of joy.  A hobby refers to certain conditions of joy. Fun is something that is possible to take root in the ideal love between a subject and an object partner. Have you ever been able to have fun all by yourself?  If you are able to do so, then you are out of your mind. There must be a subject of love.  God created everything in relationship within the realm of love. God created everything in order to be the fuel for the Subject of love.  This is why you must love all things of creation. We have come to live in an environment of pollution and contaminated food.   We need to create an environment where the individual can live with everything necessary to grow healthy. Five family members can do their own farming and eat the food you have worked to harvest. You will be able to grow your own vegetables and crops.  Otherwise the world will perish due to pollution. The time will come when the biggest issue is to develop the tourism industry. The distribution channels of the tourism industry will move quickly and circulate all the time. It will expand to stretch to include all places.  Everything is being prepared for the distant future to make all of this possible for a better world. When you think that one hundred years ago, our ancestors and forefathers were dreaming of a world where it was easier to go from either side of the the country or world and to be able to take care of themselves with better medicine. What we dream will be the norm in a hundred years as well, but we have to put in the work of recreation of this world. Unfortunately, there are not many people who have such a futuristic way of thinking. Return for Tomorrow's Post: Why Did God Create Night/Day, Seasons?
