We Are Brothers, Sisters Without Parents

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

People had no way to truly and eternally unite.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everyone needs True Parents no matter what position they hold.

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

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

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

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

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

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

What kind of people are the True Parents?

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

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

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

Therefore, the content is very different.

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

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

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

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

True Parents give birth to humankind through true love

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why do we need True Parents?

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

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

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

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

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

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

What do we all desire?

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

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

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

Once false love disappears, infidelity, divorce will disappear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You should first long for the Parents.

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

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

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

Why do you need spiritual parents?

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

What do false parents teach?

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

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

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

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

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

True Parents teach you the true way of God.

We Need Brothers and Sisters

Everyone wants to be loved.  The ideal manifestation of that love is parents.

Orphans do not have a relationship with their original parents.  We can say that a person who neither receives parental love from his parents even though he wants to, he is very miserable.

Suppose someone is much less attractive than someone who did not grow up with their parents.  Even still, just as long as that person can serve and devote himself to his parents, he can feel very fortunate by comparison.

He might think that someone is handsome, but if he or she does not even have parents, what does that benefit?  He might think, "I may be ugly and disabled,  but at least I am fortunate to have a mother and father."

Parents are the Origin of Love

What are parents?

Why is it that even the most strongest and intelligent son could never ignore their parents even if they were a burden?  Why can he not control them with one finger?  Since he has such credentials, he could challenge them with his wit, but he wouldn't want to do that.

Where does love come from?

Does it come from yourself?  No.  Love comes from parents.

This is because the origin of love is not you, but your parents.

There can be no result without a cause.  

When it comes to love, you are not the owner of it.  When you come before your parents, you should say, "Yes, Mother and Father, you are right."

Your parents may say that no matter how established, wealthy or intelligent you are, you cannot deviate from your duty to your mother and father.  Then you can reply as above.

You do this because of love.  Parents are the subject partners, and children are the object partners.  The subject partner serves the object partner, and the object partner follows the subject partner.

This is the principle of Heaven.

When this principle is breached, that house will collapse and end up worthless.  Because a person is born in accordance with heavenly nature, however uneducated he is, he knows the Principle of Heaven.  Therefore, even the strongest champion has to bow his head to his parents.

Humankind continues to be plagued by conflicts based on power or knowledge.  When the end of the world comes, the power of the fist and the power of knowledge will pass away.  Don't you realize that we are living in such times?

We are currently living in the war of love.

That is why religious leaders say that their time is coming. In the end, only the power of love will remain.

These are the Last Days, the final age of worldly supremacy.

Can a strong elder brother come home and become the boss of the house with his parents there?  No matter how strong a world champion he is in the ring, he cannot be the boss at home.  Even if the elder brother has hundreds of doctorates, when he returns home, he cannot be boss because his parents are there.

The Reason We Need Brothers and Sisters

Why do we need brothers and sisters?

Because boys can watch their younger brothers and sisters and learn how their mothers grew up.  Girls can watch their naughty elder brothers and see how their father grew up.

This is called the love of brothers and sisters.

Therefore, you should love your siblings.  Also, you should learn to love your siblings as you love your father and mother.

You cannot love our brothers and sister of the world if you do not learn how to within the family.  So, therefore, through observing your siblings you can learn how our parents grew up and come to love them as your parents do.

In this way, you will be able to love your mother and father when you go to the next world.

You need your brothers and sisters in order to be an owner of love without shame. 

Would it be better for siblings to love each other more than they love their parents, or less than their parents?

It is better if they love each other more.  Why is this so?

Because watching and loving your brothers and sisters is the same as watching and loving your father and mother when they were growing up.  When you do this, it fulfills the condition of loving  your parents from their birth to their death.

Thus, brothers and sisters are connected to each other through such love.  That's why we think this way.  In the case of the parents, the more children they have, the more they can learn about their spouses.

For example, the wife might see her son act in a certain way and she can think, "Oh, this is probably how my husband was growing up."

So, loving the children is the same as loving the spouse the way he or she was before they met.

The husband can watch and learn from the daughter and say, 'Oh, she is showing me how my wife would have been when she was young."

Through loving the children, the husband fulfills the condition of loving every aspect of the wife.  The mother and father do not say, "Love only the boys, not the girls."

Loving parents love their sons and daughters equally, without discrimination.

So by having sons and daughters, a beautiful circle of love in the family is formed. 

Parents will treat the children equally.  All parents are like this.

The first rule in family education: hating your brother or sister is a greater sin than hating your mother.

Suppose after you have a fight with your brothers or sisters you leave the house.  The least you can do when  you return is to hold a party so that you can make them happy again.

Ask them for forgiveness and tell them that you should love one another as you love your parents.

Brothers and sisters represent your father and mother.

If they were poor, then help them and serve them as you would serve your mother.  There would be nothing more beautiful than this. This is where the Kingdom of Heaven begins.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Family Was Created as a Good Place

True Family Cheon Seong Gyeong Book Four Chapter 2

Even God Prays

As a person of faith, you should create a good problem: be a heavenly troublemaker for God.  That is what Father did when he came to America.

America has reached first class status in the world and has built a prosperous society and culture in the world.

However, I came to shake this nation up, as with karate chops and kicks. Americans resent my disturbing their "peace". But I did not come to destroy America, only to warn this nation that there is danger ahead. If there will be a dam break, someone has to warn the people and bring them out of disaster. You know there is a big battle coming, so you must ready yourself in body and spirit.

You must prepare you mind, body and spirit readying it for battle, have you done that yet?

If you go, you can ask God to fill in the areas which you lack and He will come and help you fill in any gaps you have in order to complete the mission.  He will say, "I'm right behind you, child."  He will think that you are resolute and totally committed to the mission.

For, if God is assured and confident about you, an avalanche of help will come to you. 

You should build up a basic attitude and atmosphere for prayer.  If you do not do this, your prayers will not bear fruit.


In my case, by just thinking about some problem and not even praying about it, already God knew my thoughts and fulfilled what I was thinking. I have such experiences. God went one step or several steps ahead of me. When I discovered that my thinking had been fulfilled, He smiled and said, "See what I did?"

What is better than sitting in a dark room praying for hours?  Knocking on one more door of your Home Church area, in order to save one person even if they spit on you with contempt.

You only need prayer when you have exhausted all of your energy and it still was not enough.  Then, you can pray to God, "I gave all I have. Please come help me."  When you come to the point where you can do that, then you don't have to ask God, but you can tell Him to relax.  

What about God?  Do you think He prays sometimes, too?

We can think a little deeper about this. A father or mother can sometimes talk to themselves, "Oh, I wish my son would do this, or be this or that way." This is kind of a prayer.  God does that, too.

This is the same prayer that He has.  God murmurs about, you, about me and the church.  He will say, "How is everyone in the church today?" He would say, "Oh, my son and daughter, be bold and strong and keep going in the battle today.  I am always behind you."  This is God's prayer.

We are living in an emergent time, and He is engrossed in His concern.  This is the same for you.  You don't have to sit down and pray, you can just talk to your yourself.  You can whisper to God that you know that we are living in a time of emergency and you know what you must do and you should do more for the time which you are living.  This is a prayer.

In practice, you may pray first, and then go out for action. But, in my view, prayer and action are one. 

This is your case, praying and doing at the same time is your life.

Praying and waiting for the answer should not be your life.  If you live the life of unconsciously praying, then you are without a doubt becoming sons and daughters of prayer.  When you give your last ounce of energy and it is not enough, then ask God for assistance and your prayer will be answered.

If this was not true, then how will it be possible to subjugate Satan?  There is an end to the suffering and anguish that Satan has caused God for thousands of years.  There is a way to finally subjugate him.  

You can test the power of prayer.  Take one person, pray for them fervently, constantly, but don't tell them that you are doing this.  Pray, with tears for their well being and then that person will feel the magnetic attraction to you and they won't know why they feel so drawn to you.

If you pray for a person with this kind of heart, for sure, when you go out, that person will come to you.  If you do this with seriousness, then these things will happen.

We know that someone under hypnosis can place a person in another state of consciousness, but how much more powerful prayer can change lives.  There is no limit to the power of prayer.

Prayer is not limited by distance, or have limited influence, because the power of thought travels everywhere in the universe.  With this, you can mobilize the entire spirit world just through the power of prayer.

When you have the right attitude toward prayer, then miracle after miracle will happen.

The most important part of the launching pad for a rocket is the foundation.  When it is time for take-off, it must be strong enough not to break under the heat and pressure.

Your prayer is the same way.  It is like firing a missile; you need a solid foundation.  

You must not pray from greed for yourself. 

When you pray with a public purpose, this prayer will cleanse you and elevate your spirit higher and higher.  When you acquire this sensitivity to spirit world, you will be able to sense the events that are about to happen.  Your perception will become keen and you will be able to prepare better for the future.

You should know that you are actually two people in one body.  Your inner man is like a mirror, it is clean and bright.  Therefore, you will feel anguish when your inner man and external man are not in harmony.  But when they are perfectly aligned, you feel joy and power.

This battle is happening everyday within you.  Immediately, when you see a person, your inner man will be able to tell you what kind of person he is.  When you hear someone's report about something, your inner man will be able to tell you how truthful it is.

As soon as someone walks into a room, your inner man will be able to tell you whether that person is here to bring good news or bad news.  This is what happens when the two men interact as one.

Don't neglect your inner man, but consult him all the time.

You inner man always wants to talk to your physical man.

You inner person and physical self are united once you are higher spiritually.  Here, they have a clear communication with one another.  You will find that you may not intend to say anything, but all of the sudden you find that your mouth is moving.  That is not you, but your inner self speaking on  your behalf.

Even rats of a ship can sense when the ship is in trouble and they run away.  How much more should man, which is God's supreme creation know about life or death situations that are about to come?

Wouldn't God create within man some alert system when a certain fate is coming?  Isn't man superior to a rat?  Through practicing prayer, you will gain such spiritual sensitivity.

For your inner and outer man to become one, you need the power of prayer.

Everyone should experience these phenomena spiritually.  Don't pray prayers that do not have meaning.

Now you have an understanding of the power of prayer.  You body is just like the receiver of an radio.

Then you know whether you will succeed or fail.  You know when something you want to pursue will succeed, because you will feel pulled in that direction and you will be eager to go ahead.

Once you are able to free yourself from your own thinking centered on yourself, you will be filled with a mighty power.  You must be able to win such spiritual battles.  Once you do, you will be entitled to ask for God's power as you pray for the sake of God's righteousness and His Kingdom. Then He will come to you.

Pray and act. As you act, you will know the power of prayer. 

With this kind of foundation, you will discover yourself being different from yesterday.

Make a showdown with God everyday.  When you get home at night and you were unable to accomplish what you prayer, you must pray, "God, I worked hard today, but it still was not enough.  I need Your help."

This is absolutely necessary.  This routine should become second nature, and without you being aware of it.  You can live that kind of life all of the time.

The Love Man and Woman Desire

"In your life's journey, the loveliest and most beautiful time is your youth. In youth, your looks are like the most precious flower. Someone who can love fully can be invited into God's living room. A man and a woman who have such love can receive God's blessings and be invited into His living room." 

What is the definition of human happiness?

Can we say someone is happy because they have a lot of money or diamonds and jewelry?

The only way to happiness is to experience the joy of your partner whispering in your ear while you are both enraptured in love.  This is a truly happy couple that can do this.  A couple that enjoys a partner softly whispering in their ear while caressing their earlobe would think that they were dreaming.

Our youth is the happiest time of our life.  It is the time we are still blooming radiantly and bursting virtually with love.  This is also the time to unite in love with another.

An ideal person does not search for someone who is just absorbed into the love of a man and woman relationship.  Rather, this person would search for a partner that first loves God, the world and then loves you with his or her remaining love.

When we look at this principle of the universe, we see that we have fallen away from this idea. We mostly look for a love that can fulfill only our needs, but true love wants to give unceasingly to the other and the world.

True happiness for a woman is to meet her true subject partner in love. 

If a man searches with seriousness for a love while he is single, others will only view him as a crazy man.  No matter how talented or handsome this man or woman may be, it is of no use to anyone if there is no love to be found.

Men and women have opposite attributes and personalities to the other.

Women are uni-directional, while men are multi-directional.  Mostly the man travels around the world while women stay home.   What can unite men and women as subject and object partners?  They unite through love.  This love also unites humankind and God.

The reason God created humankind was for the perfection of the ideal of love.  Therefore, the relationship between God and humankind is the highest example of love to be found between a subject and an object partner.

So, when will humankind reach this perfection of love?

It will only happen when man and woman reach a point where they will make a connection of love and understand the extreme value of this love and cherish it.

Even though a man may be very handsome and healthy, this does not carry any meaning if he does not have a woman.  A man who is only occupied with his great looks and the health of his body is useless.

Many men have caused our tragic history because of their self-centered lives.  God's providence of restoration to lead the world back into His direct dominion has been to transform this self-centered world back into his ideal world or Utopia.

Therefore, the best idea in the world is a man for a woman and a woman for a man.  So, the love that charms a man won't be found in another man or a woman won't be enchanted by the love of another woman.  It may have seem this way in our revolutionary lifestyles of America, but we are speaking of the absolute true love of God.

Do you long for love when you are alone?

When a man loves a woman with God's love, he should be able to say, "I love her inside and out.  We share a love that will not change from beginning to end".

A woman should preserve and keep her body sealed to reveal and share such a love.  She should close it like a peony flower that is wrapped in many layers.  This way, the couple will be able to experience the harmony of heaven and earth in spring and start a new life in unity and do this well.

Dr. Reverend Sun Myung Moon highlights this point during his speech:

"Among the flowers, which do you think is the most beautiful?

I don't know what kind of flowers you like, but I like flowers that look like a trumpet. The reason is that trumpet-looking flowers send their fragrances far away.

Trumpet-looking flowers represent deep love. Flowers must look like a trumpet if their fragrances are to spread far. For this reason, the more a flower resembles a trumpet, the more fragrance it has.

So if women are like flowers, they should have a deep heart of love. Flowers with beautiful fragrances are loved by all people. 

Lilies, for example, are loved for their simplicity and elegance. I think the clear and elegant lilies are aesthetically and emotionally rich flowers because their stems aid leaves have the same color so it is difficult to distinguish which is which.

Likewise, ladies should be like morning glories and lilies. They should be clear and elegant flowers."SMM

Every girl, no matter how pretty, after adolescence has a most precious time of her life when her beauty truly flowers.  Is there any woman who can say she is happy and rather be alone than to be with the ideal man?

This is not the definition of a woman.  What about a man?  Is there any during this time of youth that rather live alone than share love with an ideal woman?  At that time, they are more likely to look for a partner.

Why?

It is because we resemble God.  During our adolescence, it is the best time to look for a life partner.  This is true for both men and women alike.  There is nothing of creation that was brought about for its own sake.

Why do men exist?

Men would say they are not interested in questions or discussions about relationships and they rather live alone, but man was born for the sake of women.  Without women, there is no reason for man to exist. 

When we look at the five senses of our ears, nose, mouth, eyes, and hands and truly observe, we can see that they are there for the sake of our partner?  Can we look into our own eyes without looking in a mirror?

Our five senses are tools of true love, created for the sake of true love.

Some American women might not want to hear this, but the most precious thing for a woman is a man.  It doesn't matter if he is plain, crippled, talented or not.  What matters is which man she can find a love that has value.

God will rejoice over a relationship where a man loved by God lives in the heart of a woman and a woman loved by God lives in the heart of a man.  When this couple cherishes each other God and all things will be happy together.

Their joyful embrace will be of great importance in bringing joy to heaven and earth.  Such a couple that embraces in mutual adoration is a meeting point where the universe becomes one.  This was the original ideal which God had wanted to realize with Adam and Eve.

Woman is not born for the sake of another woman just as man was born for the sake of a woman.  The problem occurs when a woman convinces herself that she does not need or is not born for the sake of a man.

Women and men can protests and argue all day and night that they do not need the opposite sex, but God, the great master of the creation made this as an original rule.  You and I will not be able to enter the true, joyful and peaceful world of love without following this rule.

Women should be careful not to give sidelong glances at the countless men in the world.

Fidelity is more precious than your life.

Have you noticed that the most horrendous crimes have started because of the passion from the misuse of love?

Women in this new era will open up a path that will resonate throughout history.  This path will be loved by the husband, sons and daughters, by the nation, even loved by the world.

Women should undertake the solemn task of establishing a basis from which the beauty, nobility, and emotional tradition of women can shine forth. In order to accomplish this, you should give your utmost heart as a truthful and genuine person. 

The most beautiful time in life is young adulthood when the flower is in full bloom.  This period is from the age of eighteen to twenty-four.  This precious time will never be repeated in your life when the beautiful flower of your love will blossom.  

A peony is a type of flower that the buds are wrapped tightly in dozens of layers so they cannot be up easily.  This is true for both men and women.  When is the best time to reveal this bud of love that blossoms?

The time of youth is the best time to reveal your beauty within the harmony of heaven and earth.  This is when the blossoms are at their peak and you shine as the centerpiece of God's great work of art.  This is the time when you will be in full bloom under God's blessings.

Do not defile your purity of heart during this time of youth.  This time is the time to reverse the selfish love of Adam and Eve who lost their heart of pure love in their youth.

Your determination should be firm enough to say that even if you have to wait thousands of years for love you will absolutely keep it pure and not abuse this gift.  If you are able to not defile your holy pure heart by the dirtied, stained fallen world, where would be the best place to place your heart?  Place it on the altar that brings God the greatest joy.

This holy ground where a man and woman both with a pure heart meet can become bound as one.  This is a place where the bride and groom meet.

Return for Tomorrow's Post:  Sacrifice 4 Love

This text was rewritten and taken from the textbook Cheon Seong Gyeong Book Three - True Love written by the founder of the Family Federation

Chapter Three - Love and Marriage

What is True Love?

"The more love we have the happier we become. Love is such that once it is in our hand; we never want to let it go. 

The source of life cannot be governed by human will. Only true love can influence our motivation, our course, or the end of our life. Human beings were born of love, so they must live for love and even die for love at the end of their lives."

In some places, today couples will be celebrating Valentine's Day in respect to love for that special someone in their lives.  

Do we really know what the definition of true love is?

Does the quote sound like the kind of love that we experience in our daily life at work, home or in our communities?  This is the purest form and most ideal standard of love we all wish to reach.  God planned the creation not only to function for the purpose of love, but so He can receive love through the creation.


Owe no one anything except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

Romans 13:8

If love had a color, what color would it be?  Black at night, white in the daytime and yellow in the evening?

The world will be able to experience peace, unity and equality when the central color of love can be found.  Yet in the situation today, we use love in anyway.  Love is the most holy place and when it is misused, we are judged by fire.

Love has the power to give life when used for the purpose God intended and it also has the power of destruction when it is used for selfish purposes.

Love is the cardinal point of happiness, the invisible order, and the peace that serves the common good. It is the common asset of all humanity and the symbol of God's will and power.

Even the strongest toughest man's face will radiant when he finds a woman to love.

How is this possible?  Through the power of a gun, simple threats?  No.  Through the power of love. There are two types of love...which kind of love has this lasting power?

Only True love that is the center and owner of the universe.


True Love is the Original Fountain of the Universe

True love holds supreme power.  Once you possess true love, the world, everyone and even God will follow you.  Once you stand in love's purest position, all of creation will follow you.

"True love is the kind of love that makes you and another feel good even if you stay together forever. It is the kind of love that makes you feel good, even though you just stay together, live together, watch together, talk together, feel things together and listen together."

Love has such a high quality that it is welcomed and liked by all people.  No matter how old, rich or powerful one is, we desire to live and die surrounded by love.  To test if this is true, you probably know someone who holds a high position or is very successful in their trade, but struggle in their love relationships and yearn to find their true love.

Yet, one who has found the person whom God gives to them, they are extremely happy no matter what situation they find themselves.

Love is perceptive that if we think of it as small, it becomes small, and if we think of love as infinitely large it is very large;if you think you can see it, you can see it and vice versa.  Such a principle is that when a loved one winks at you it will make you feel as if heaven and earth are being turned upside down and heaven and earth lived within your heart.

Love alone can break down the barriers people put up. People in love are completely possessed by it and each word they venture to speak will be based on the love that claims them.

An atomic bomb brings only death, but the power of love is greater and more powerful.  Atomic bombs do not have the power to create;they only bring judgement and destruction. True love has the power to save people from death and give new life.

True Love is the only power that can unite the world into one - not brute force.  True love is the only weapon that can break down differences in cultural backgrounds, national borders and a nation's customs.

Love's Saving Power

All of the world's problems on the level of political, economic and culture which humankind face today can basically be solved through the PERFECTION of true love.

Even on the individual level, all conflicts and disputes can eventually become a worldwide problem through multiplication of society and national levels.  These problems can be resolved through God's love.

We must have our heart open for true love, but where can we encounter it?

True love lives for the public purpose.

True love has an eternal quality which does not change whether it is day or night.  True Love does not belong to one person - it belongs to everyone and the creation.  Love is shared by the universe and has the power to connect the family, society, nation and the world.

What can make God truly happy?  When we perfect love, He will rejoice and be completely happy to be immersed in a world where people live in a world of true love.  God would be happy to see His suffering children now enjoying the love He bequeathed at the beginning.  His children would live in true happiness without any regrets throughout their lives.

In this type of world, there would be no war, discontentment or suffering.  This can be described as Heaven on Earth or a Utopia.

"Even all things of creation will shower blessings upon those who devote their lives for the purpose of love. Flowers will want to bloom in their gardens, and even birds will want to build their nests in the backyard and sing their songs. This is because those people know the value of all things of creation and truly love them."

The author of the Divine Principle explains the quality of True Love:


"Even God yearns for love. Because love is so expansive, even God is engulfed in love.  It is only logical. What God is wishing for more than anything else is love. That is why love is greater than He is.   Love occupies the center of ideal circumstances, and is in unity with God. Therefore, as long as God exists, there is love.

You can find money, knowledge and power in the midst of love. The power of love is eternal. Those who know real love do not have to learn anything in the spirit world (we breathe love as air in spirit world).

What is true love?

At the intersection of vertical and horizontal, true love forms a ninety-degree angle and must fit in anywhere it goes. It should fit in Eastern homes and in Western homes alike. True love can fit in anywhere and everywhere, regardless of whether there are differences in racial, cultural and religious backgrounds.

In Science, we learn that the universe consistently contracts and expands.

In other words, it breathes in and out. It is not political power that controls the contraction and the expansion of the universe. Neither is it knowledge or money. It is the giving of love.

When you look at the world with eyes filled with love, you would say of a bird flying past you, "Why is that bird chirping? Oh, he must be missing his beloved."

When we think of this standard of love, we may think automatically of love songs or poems.  The history of our everyday lives is meant to harmonize with nature and be reproduced in the symphony of love. That is why a breath of love, a caress of love, a song of love and a whisper of love are all pleasing to our heart.

The most evil of forces dissolves in the presence of true love. Though one just looks at or passes by true love that is enough.  Love is certainly the element that forms the essential part of a person. It is at work before that person is given life, and it is the source of life itself.

A life lived for love is a productive and fruitful one, and a life lived without knowing love leads to exhaustion and destruction.

God, humankind, and even the universe desire to live for the sake of love.

This is the original way of life.

Love in its original form is perfect, unchanging, eternal and absolute.  The love attained in a natural setting and in the most natural atmosphere is real love.

Once someone opens his or her eyes to love, the body and mind of that person will want to form multi-dimensional relationships within the universe. That person will thus come to understand the order of nature from the leaves falling in the autumn wind.

He will smile to himself, wishing even to become a flower blossom in order to appreciate the beauty of a flower blooming in a spring garden.

The fastest action in the world is the action of love. If two people located at opposite ends of the earth were to fall in love with each other, their love would pull them together, overcoming the distance between them. 

Love has such power.

A person who has received grace and is receiving love from God looks beautiful.

When we reach the state in which we can feel the love of God, we can relate with and transcend everything. We can have everything when we are centered on the emotions of original love. Even the organs of our bodies were created for just one purpose, love.

God formed the eyes to seek for love, the nose to smell love, and the ears to listen to the sounds of love. Of all the words we hear, the words that we never tire of, that we always like to hear, are the words, "I love you."

Love is the only topic that all beings enjoy. That kind of love is the true love that the entire universe welcomes.

The attributes of love do not lead us to love only things that are good. It is only logical to define true love as that which loves the very lowest thing more than something high.

Love is such that even God is bound by its authority. This means that even God is weak before love. The all-powerful God cannot prevent a smile from spreading across His face when He sniffs the scent of the love of humankind. Even God likes to hear love stories.

What is the most holy thing in the world?

 It is true love. True love starts from God. What God truly wants is the path of true love. You must understand that if you do not follow the path of true love you cannot become close to God. Through love, God desires to see, hear, eat, and touch."


True Love and World Peace

How and when will happiness begin in the world?

When people live every aspect of their lives based on love.  The ideals people want to bring forth into fruition and their own perfection cannot be achieved without true love.  God based all creation to exist centered on true love and the original love of God

When we give away material possessions or money, they are gone for good, but when it comes to love, the more we give, the more we will receive in return.  This is why we all want to live in the overflow in love.

The more love you give out, you will never be overfilled, you will continually be filled in love.  This is how you become joyful and happy.  We might to be in a high position, but this runs out.  In the case of love, all humans possess an unlimited supply.


What is True Love?

Once you get a glimpse of true love, you find that you cannot live without it.  This is the truth for all men, women, children young and old.  We all delight in love and it can never be relinquished by grandmothers and grandfathers even in death.

After tasting love, would a grandfather ever say, "Oh, I am tired of the taste of the love I knew in the past! It is different from the aroma in our civilization today. I don't like it! I would rather smell something other than the scent of love!"?

The taste of good food stimulates every cell in the body and invigorates it to say, "This taste pretty good!"  This is how love becomes the nucleus the core of all things.

"Love is the essence of everything. When you treat anything and anyone with that kind of love, a path will open up along which you can freely go anywhere."

True Love is unchanging love and lasts forever:  true love in the spring, summer, autumn and winter; true love when you are in your teens, adulthood and old age; and true love even when you go to the eternal spirit world.

Who owns love?  Is it man or woman?

It is God Himself.  God and human beings only become one through centering on love.  Why?  Because love is essential to both God and human beings.  Yes, God even relies on an object partner to experience love.  God made love greater than Himself.  Whenever there is harmony, a circular motion takes place.

God can come down to human beings through love and human beings go up and meet God at the midway position.  Many imagine God sitting on His throne refusing to come to His children...this would not describe a god of love.

God then becomes the center of the sphere and spherical motion occurs. The central point is where harmony in love is established and the place where life first stirs.  This point is where equality and sharing together begins because the power of love is there.  Love is a power that embraces everything in the universe.

Love can never be felt by one entity alone.  Happiness and even the concept of peace does not work for only just one nation alone.  Only when you can love based on a relationship made with someone on an equal footing can you feel true happiness.

Peace describes a relationship formed between one country and another.  The same truth applies to freedom.  One does not create true freedom by oneself.

The freedom that you acquire within love, together with love, is true freedom. 

When true love is present and someone proclaims their absolute authority over those exhibiting true love, even if they are whipped, they will not hold back.  Instead to this type of person, persecution will bring them a richer joy and happiness.  How is that possible?  Because true love only works when it is given out for another's benefit, through someone sacrificing himself to save others.

Love sets the standard, it is like a pillar that stands at the center.  At this central point, the mind and body automatically unite into one.  The central point never moves.  This is how true love becomes the eternal place of settlement.  The individual, family, tribe, nation, world, universe and even God are all situated at the central point where love resides.

"Jesus once said, "I am the way and the truth and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by me." However, he left one thing out, the most important thing of all; love. He should have said "I am the way and the truth and the life and the love..." but he left out "love."

These words should be inserted into the Bible.

When Christians hear me saying such things, they will exclaim, 'How blasphemous!' But if you ask God about this, He will reply, 'Of course!' From this we can see that God really likes love, but He likes true love the best of all."
