Living Just for Self is Evil

How should we spend the rest of our lives?

We should follow this road of tribulation from now on indemnifying the sinful past.

The important issue when you manage your life is whether you live your life individualistically or for the public.

For whom do you eat, wear or buy and sell things in your daily life?  For just yourself or for God’s Will?

The issue is whether you live your life publicly or privately.

Pledge to go the public way. 

Anyone placed with the responsibility to indemnify or reverse history’s past mistakes must advance to the stage which everyone desires to go.

Therefore, throughout your daily life we must transcend the feelings that are very selfish and private and embody public feelings. This is the important issue which all people of faith must be concerned with.

What is sin?

Sin comes into existence when private matters exist.  Ruin appears within the sphere of private matters.  Evil act in the same way.

When we pursue private matters, they manifest as evil

There is a limit to private matters.

When it is in excess, then sin, evil and ruin result.

Then where is eternal good come, eternal prosperity and eternal fortune?

What position must we be in where we can prevent sin, evil and ruin?  The position where we are protected from such matters is when we pursue public matters.

When you work, work from a public standpoint.

When you speak, be able to digest any situation by using public words.

Then, through this way, live your life connected with matters which are public.

Such people who live a public life cannot go to hell even if they try.


Experience love

Do you live your lives only thinking that you are the only one?  Are you just limited to just yourself?

It is easy to think in this way, but if all the elements our parents and creation were removed, then we would disappear.

Then what is this being we call ‘self’?

We are in a position to represent our mother and father.

We inherit our mother and father’s blood and flesh through the period in the womb and they provide for us.

The terms Mother Earth and Mother Nature come into being because the earth is our mother who provides us with elements at different levels.

We breath through an umbilical cord while in our mother’s womb.  This hose links us to our mother’s body.

The moment of our first cry we are connected to this second world of air.

Our nostrils are the absolute supply line.

We will die if both or our nostrils are blocked.  Have you ever thought of this?
It is made with a dual structure.

When a baby comes out from the womb to connect to the world of air, the umbilical cord, the amniotic sac and the placenta that it depended on for its life in the womb are destroyed and die.

What appears at that same moment of death? The baby comes out into the universe, to Mother Earth, and comes to live by the supply of elements through its mouth.

After coming out of the womb, what must our body do? While we are breathing through the umbilical cord in the womb, we are also preparing the nostrils as the airway. Then, when we emerge from the womb, we switch the use of the organ and begin to breathe.

Just as this natural process of human development in the womb, we must love, inhaling the love while on earth from our mother and father.

We must undergo all processes of life by the supply of the air of love. 

Once we are born in a family, we go up and down the cycles of life along a sine curve.

We grow, we age and then we die and dissolve returning to the stage of being a baby.

What happens when we die?

We leave the second ‘womb’ and connect to the third breathing organ of love.

We leave parental love and fraternal love and enter the world of love that is harmonious with God of the great cosmos.

The spirit world is filled with the air of love.

We must prepare now so we can breathe in the air of love in the next world

We are only immortal when we become people who feel spiritual love and breathe the air of love.

When we kick away the womb of Mother Earth, we breathe with the respiratory organs of love.

We can gain eternal life only when we inherit the third love.

After we are connected with love, then we return to God and are linked to the respiratory organ of love.

Those who do not give love while on the earth have not developed their love organ and will be unable to breathe in the other world - this is hell.

Since the seed was initiated by the Original Being, it must bear fruit and return to Him.

We are on a traveler’s journey through this course of life.

Even though our life here is just a passing moment, we should experience love.

The Fall meant that we could not receive our Parent’s love.

We must form a family that is centered on true parental love, true fraternal love, true conjugal love and true filial love.

We also establish many families in the north, south, east and west. Then these families should form true families that are linked to the other families, tribe, people, nation and world. When this world is bound by love, this is called the Kingdom of Heaven, world peace will be established.

A Loving Family Expands to Loving World

The ideal family alone can serve as the building block of the Kingdom of God.

—Sun Myung Moon

What if every human was raised in a godly, ideal home? 

Where brothers and sisters respected each other, mother and father were devoted to another and were the examples of true love? Abuse, fighting and separation did not exist?

We can easily see that this would mature into the Kingdom of Heaven. Such people raised in a family would understand how to love others in the world based on the teachings of exemplary love within their own family.

When they encountered younger people their sisters and brother's age they would treat them just the same. When they encountered the elderly who are their grandparents' age, they would treat them just like their own flesh and blood.

The family is the primary means through which most people learn about love.

Unfortunately, this is also how evil entered the world.

Through the first family of Adam and Eve, thousands of generations later followed in their footsteps. What if Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel were to have followed in God's ways? 

What kind of society would we be born into in this day and age?

In order to cultivate true love over a lifetime, we need to establish loving relationships and family. The family packs a double punch in a life of love more than any other relationship.

The way one was raised in their family trains him or her in love as a child and sibling. This leads them to their own personal growth and maturity. 

Then, each individual based on their upbringing, takes what they learn to cultivate love in a new family with a spouse and children.

All of these experiences come full circle to educate a person in true love.

Many religions and moral traditions equate a loving relationship in the family as a template for a person's relationship with God.

In the Talmud, for instance, it is written, “When a man honors his father and mother, God says, ‘I regard it as though I had dwelt among them and they had honored me” Kiddushin, 30b

Jesus was the first to encourage his followers to think and relate with God as their father.

Confucius said, “Surely proper behavior toward parents and elder brothers is the trunk of goodness,” Analects 1.2 and “Filial piety is the root of all virtue” Classic of Filial Piety

Hinduism, Shinto, Buddhism, Islam and the traditional Native American and African faiths also echoes this sentiment.

Family life may be seen as a vocation for growing closer to God and allowing Him/Her to manifest and dwell in true love.

A Buddhist master stated that the family is demanding of members responsibilities as any monastery.

From this viewpoint, the family can be a vehicle of holiness and an instrument of salvation.

People within a community of faith refer to one another as 'brothers and sisters' or 'brethren.' Priests lead the members of the Catholic Church and they call him 'Father', and the title of the head of the Catholic Church is the “Holy Father.” 

Such communities are led by nuns who are called 'Sister' and sometimes 'Mother'.

The importance of the family in raising good human beings is corroborated by the findings of social scientists.

Family enhances human and moral development in numerous and positive ways.

Social scientists and policymakers uphold the family as the crucial factor in the physical as well as the mental, emotional, and moral well-being of the children. Therefore, the family is the backbone of social order.

Unfortunately, the status of the family in society in our times have come into question.

Even though times have changed, the fundamental patterns of father, mother and children are still in place showing that the members of the family has basic need for its structure.

Couples live together and raise their children even if they are from previous relationships. Even though there are are the non traditional relationships of same-sex couples, there is still a masculine and feminine role in each relationship. 

Many still want to have their union recognized through a traditional marriage and even adopt children.

Those who do not have a family form surrogate and substitute families. Gangs are joined by youngsters in order to get the same strength and protection they get from the feeling of a family from their 'home boys'.

A convicted criminal leader of the L.A. Crips notorious gang had said in an interview that he turned toward the streets because he did not have a proper family upbringing. 

The same with homeless children, or teenagers of the street, they also form 'families' and band together.

Still, none of these substitutes for the missing qualities in their own homes can fulfill the same benefits as a basic family structure of a father, mother with their biological children.

As far back as our knowledge takes us, anthropologist Margaret Mead affirmed about the centrality of the traditional family, human beings have always lived in families. There is no period where this was not so.

Even though modern society has made proposals for change and there have been actual experiments to dissolve the family or displace the traditional roles, human society still reaffirms their dependence on the family as the basic unit of human living. This is a family with a father, mother and children.

Whispers of Love can Cool Hatred in the World

The invisible God is precious because invisible love is precious.



Reverend Sun Myung Moon







In order to find God, we have to enter a state of complete absence of ego.



God lives deeply and quietly in the invisible world rather than in the visible world where we live.

If we were to observe the love in America, we can say it looks very hot, but it is actually lukewarm.


Americans kiss each other every morning like a fly touching the skin and then it flies away.


Traditionally, Oriental couples on the other hand stare at each other before kissing and then they both drop their head slightly due to shyness.


This is a beautiful scene that is comparable to one of the greatest masterpieces.


It is a mysterious scene when a wife carries a husband's suitcase with her loving heart to see him off before a business trip. But most American women do not even turn their heads or leave the room to see their husband's off.


This is why many Orientals who know the Western lifestyle do not want to marry an American woman.


The conversation between a loving couple is more beautiful than any poem or picture in the world.


Words have such beauty such as, “between lovers,” “between ourselves,” or “you and me”!


When God blesses human beings, He creates an environment where the couple can be happy. A couple who enters the door of such prepared blessing don't fight with one another right away.



Once they enter the door of love, they are too busy exchanging whispers such as, “I've been waiting to meet you for a long time. 

My life will bloom with the blossom of value through you. I was born to love you and waited to love you until this moment.” There is nothing sweeter than the confidential talk of love.


A loving married couple's whispers of love are more effective to cool off any fatigue and the hatred in the world.

A couple shouldn't demand love forcibly from each other.

Love is natural, so the talk of love in confidence is soft and beautiful.


Once the wife knows such a love, she is stimulated to take a nap in her husband's lap because she is so addicted to this happiness. She will not be able to control her heart.


But before the wife married her husband, the man looked creepy and scary, but her heart changes rapidly after marriage.


She will do whatever it takes to be as much with her husband as she can. For example, she will encourage him to come home to see her during his lunch break. 

 Likewise, once a man knows such a love, he also wants to sleep in his wife's lap whenever he finds leisure time. So, he rushes home during his coffee break or at lunch time.



After a couple of love marries, the man will do whatever the wife wants without hesitation - even things he formerly thought traditional were the duties of women.


How do a woman and man who meet through God as the mediator express their love?


This is the developmental process of love: love is first expressed by the mouth, second by the breasts and third through the sexual organ.


Before making love, the woman hides her mouth because of her shyness because love starts from kissing.

As love matures, sons and daughters are born as the fruit of love.

The woman's holy place of love is her sexual organ.


The husband should hold the only key to the door of his wife's love. If the husband holds two keys to the holy place, then he is Satan. A wife's holy place should only be opened by her husband. If it can be opened by any other key, then the woman is Satan.


When a husband opens his wife's holy place of love, then the most precious and valuable children will be born from there.

The children are the crystals of love.

When human beings have a child, they are able to have the same experience which God exhibited during the process of creating Adam and Eve, His first children.


Because the baby is the incarnation of both their parent's flesh and love, a baby looks cute all of the time.


It doesn't matter if the child has a runny nose, is urinating or defecating, all of these actions are soaked in love.

A couple whose relationship is based on a strong force of love, no matter what action they take, it looks joyful and lovely.



If a woman complains about her husband's body smell or the husband complains about his wife's gestures, we can tell that this is not a perfect love between this couple. Such a couple relate to one another based on what the other can gain from the relationship.

Truly Help Our "Lost" Brothers and Sisters

If you are a person that walks the way of faith of any religion, you see that the current world we live in does not literally follow God's Kingdom.  We learn through looking at the Bible from the Principle point of view, we learn that human history started on the wrong foot which is the evil side.

This is why the Bible states that the god of this earthly world is Satan.

Due to the human fall, Satan abides in each us, through the sin circulating through our blood with every heartbeat.

In other words, we as humans are the incarnation of Satan.  Biding Satan's will and giving Satan's love. 

We are born in the lineage of Satan - not God's no matter how religious we are. 

This is against God's law of creation.

This is why He created the religious world where there were many martyrs that had to lay a foundation to bring His dream of World Peace closer to fruition.

The first religions, which were primitive, people of faith were sometimes killed as offerings or sacrifices.

This represented in a devilish way the impulse to shed the satanic blood.

From God's point of view, with this flow of stained blood in our veins, we are not human beings or part of His pure creation.  We are seen as just satanic beings in the position of His enemies of love. 

We became Satan's children through following his low standard of 'love' and will and God's enemy.

Yet, God has worked thousands of years to help to change this tragic position of humanity.

This world of hell came about not as part of God's world, but from human's not following God's plan of flourishing blessings.

This is why Jesus cursed the people and said, "You are of your father, the Devil" John 8:44.

Our first ancestors went against God's desire and entered into an unchaste, sexual relationship before God's love was able to grow and mature within them.

True Parents are needed in order for us to have perfect restoration.  We must be able to change this stained blood lineage through the process of true rebirth.


In the Bible we read that when Nicodemus visited Jesus and heard him talk about rebirth, he asked, "How can we go back into our mother's womb?" Jesus reportedly said to him, "You are a leader of Israel and still you don't know what rebirth means?" In conclusion, he said, "If you are not born again, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God."


To be 'born again' means to become part of God's pure lineage such as Jesus was, because we are men and women of the satanic lineage, this is our destination.

To change our satanic lineage into God's, we must live a true ascetic life such as we observe those in the convents.  Such a life of faith presents difficulties and hardships in a world of such free sex and loose morals, but to begin the process of a pure lineage, we must follow God's true laws in order to restore our sinful blood.

What does changing our sinful blood have to do with World Peace?

Wouldn't a world of people who are not born into sin less likely to cause war and harm to others, yet live for others?

Imagine a world full of Jesus'.  Wouldn't such a world be more at peace than this world full of Judases and Cains.



Q. How did sin come into the world if God didn't create it as part of humanity?

God gave the warning of do not delve in the fruit of love before the right time and Satan gave his word of it is okay to eat.  Adam and Eve both believed Satan's world more than God just as children do with their earthly parents.

God said do as I say and there will be blessings, but if you go against my laws expect curses.

How can we in this day and age still believe that God created hell when He is our Father and He wanted to give us a world of blessings. HUMANITY chose curses over a world of God's love and laws.

This was the first stage of the fall.  During the course of restorations, we must have the conviction to believe in God's words strongly and absolutely.  The result of our not having faith in God's words and carrying them out was the satanic lineage through believing in Satan's words.

Jesus shed his blood in order to connect our satanic, sinful blood to his pure unstained lineage.

The wine during the Holy Communion symbolizes the shedding and sharing of Jesus' pure blood that is connected to God's.  All of humanity was meant to be born as Jesus was without sin.

The wine thus symbolizes godly lineage.

When we partake in the bread and wine, it signifies the blood of God's lineage and we are removed in that manner from the satanic lineage to divine lineage.

We can look at the tragedy of the sin becoming part of God's children tainting His pure bloodline as a burden to humanity who owes a debt of blood, sweat and tears in order to clean this stain.

God's only story is experiences since the fall filled with nothing but tears, sweat and blood.

This is His only history.  When we see the true history of God's painful, torn heart due to His children's disobedience, we see that people of faith and Christians truly don't know what God is all about.

They sing about Him sitting on this glorious throne enjoying life and His rule over His Kingdom.

Through the Divine Principle, we see that this is not true at all.



"Someone has to liberate God and He cannot do it Himself The agony of parents, or of husband and wife, cannot be solved by themselves alone.

The agony of parents can only be solved by children; the agony of a husband can only be solved by his wife, and the agony of a wife by her husband. The only way to liberate God from His sorrow is by becoming a son or daughter of filial piety to take over His agony.

God wanted to forgive Adam and Eve, but He was not in the position to forgive them, because they were in no state to be forgiven.

We must imagine this: suppose there was another person who did not fall-a brother of Adam, who, standing intact from the fall, would go to the Father and beg Him to forgive his brother and sister; what would have happened?

If that man, without having fallen, would go to God and ask Him to forgive his brother for the fall, and if he would tell the Father that he would help by taking on any responsibility himself-, he would be willing to be beaten or anything else for the sake of the fall of his brother and sister, God could have forgiven them.

This was supposed to be the way of forgiveness, or salvation of the fallen people.

A person who has not fallen can be said to have nothing to do with Satan.

If God has that kind of individual, He can develop His providence of salvation with that one in the center.

This type of person is "Abel," or one who is in the position of Abel in the place of Cain who symbolized the satanic bloodline.

Abel is supposed to be the person who can receive perfect love from God. He or she must be able to be triumphant over Satan. Abel must be able to sacrifice him or herself for humankind. In other words there should be one who is willing to be sacrificed in place of the fallen brother and sister in order to liberate them.

That sacrificial brother will become the Christ. What is the mission of Christ, the Messiah? He is the one who bears your burden and your indemnity.

That is why he is the savior."


Reverend Sun Myung Moon


In today's society, we see many leaders and celebrities who want to be in the position of a god, saint or Messiah.

Once we see the heavy burden of such a title and responsibility, we see that the rightful owner of such a title is the one and only God.

If you take over the burden of someone else's life then you are that person's savior.  Just on your condition of standing in the place of your fallen, sinful brother, they can be liberated.

The tears you shed for them will be the gateway of salvation to open and to relieve God's sorrow and the human sorrow.

God's Providence in Scriptures - God's Warning to the World message from prison

Mankind's Godly Responsibility

This speech was given in 1992 in Seoul, Korea by Reverend Sun Myung Moon's wife:

Distinguished guests, representatives of the Women's Federation for World Peace from seventy countries, women leaders and members of the Women's Federation for Peace in Asia:

By your presence, you bring many blessings to our Federation's future, and inspire us to multiply our determination to achieve world peace.  

This may be the first time that women have taken the initiative by bringing so many women together in one place.

I am certain that from this day forward, women around the world will come to understand their noble role which has been ordained by God, and that a road will be opened for us to build an ideal world filled with peace, happiness and freedom.

Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon

The following declaration is based upon the heart of God that transcends the past, present and future.

These words are a declaration before heaven and earth, with history as a witness.  The following words may seem unfamiliar to some, but they deal with the secrets of heaven that all women today need to understand in order to usher in the new era of peace, not only for their own family, but for the world.

History Began in a Diseased State


We have come to live in a diseased world whose destruction of its evil is inevitable.

This is the true meaning of 'The Last Days'.

Every day we hear the ugly sounds of its final death rattle.

We can trace the origin of this disease to the original ancestors who had the responsibility to lay a tradition in paradise that would lead the rest of their descendants directly to Heaven on earth.

Instead of following God's Words, they followed another.

Our original ancestors thus contracted a serious disease.  In religious terms, this even is referred to as the human fall.

This disease caused by Satan, who told our ancestors to follow his word instead of God's, has been the focus of human history in restoring the world back to its original position of heaven on earth.

The tragedy of human history was that it originated with Satan's will.

The lord of evil stole the central position to God's ideal of creation.

Adam and Eve's union resulted in children of evil, instead of children of goodness bearing God's original pure blood lineage.

We inherited Satan's love, Satan's life and Satan's lineage.  Our reproductive organs were intended to join together in virtue, to be the temples of true love, true life and true lineage.

Love was supposed to be experienced betwen a husband and wife in a virtuous union to procreate children who carry on the pure lineage.   The center of life is love.  The human lineage is transmitted by means of the love and life of a husband and wife.

The connecting line of love, life and blood lineage is what continues throughout history.  We have been held as prisoners by satanic love, satanic life and satanic lineage bearing any link to God's pure love, life and lineage.  Adam and Eve were in their youth when they sowed the seeds of this false love, false life and false lineage.  

Therefore, in these Last Days, we see a decline in morality among the young people around the globe.  

Satan uses his fallen love as a way to create a den of sin where a blow struck against God's ideal of true love.    

Standards were relaxed concerning sexual behavior, the plague of drug addiction and the decline of the family structure and traditional values have turned this world into an earthly hell.

It is impossible to find a true man, true woman, true brothers and sister, true husband and wife or true parents anywhere.

Before this age, there was no hope of creating a true society, true nation or a true world.

Mankind Must Engraft Onto God and True Parents

Adam and Eve formed a trinity of evil.

It is up to us to restore Adam and Eve that is in accordance with the ideal of creation.

In order to resolve this historical disease, someone has to testify to the fact that Satan committed sin and be able to explain the fundamental truths concerning the sin which our original human ancestors committed.

Satan and God have known the details of the fall which has been hidden from humanity and repeated to this day.

Adam was still young and did not understand many things about his environment.

In the Last Days, when Adam and Eve will finally reach perfection and discover this information and share it with the world is the biblical account of Revelations to how God will surely reveal all secrets in the Last Days.

Thus the exact crime which Satan created throughout history will be revealed.

Then it will be possible to expel Satan from the world.

For the first time, humanity will be able to make a fundamental change in direction toward hope, peace, happiness and freedom.

For us to be able to break free form false love, false life and false lineage we inherited from Satan, it is necessary that we leave behind our wild olive roots and engraft onto the true olive tree of the Messiah.

This will make it possible for our blood lineage to return to God's unstained, pure blood lineage and rebuild a heaven on earth and in spiritual world.

This is God's final purpose of God's providence of salvation, restoration and recreation.  Therefore, this is the era where the True Parents come to earth to reverse the mistake of the first parents.  

This is of the greatest historical importance.  The True Parents, who reverse the fall of our first parents, represent the final fruit of human history.

True Parents embody the completed form of human cultural history.

They signify the victory of religious efforts and philosophy within history.  Before True Parents could come, there was a period of indemnity and restoration through sacrifice, suffering and blood.

God's Providential History of Restoration

I would like to speak for a while about this historical period, based on the biblical record, to illustrate the difficulties. By understanding this, we can understand how important it is that we fulfill our responsibility today.

In the Old Testament, history worked through indemnity such as an eye for eye, tooth for tooth and life for life.  This responsibility of the fall passed from Eve to Adam.

Satan was at the center of that union.  From Eve's standpoint, after she had received the seed of false life and love from Satan, the fall occurred where Satan took over God's position.

Satan became Eve's father.  Eve placed the archangel in the position of father and Adam in the position of her son.  

Women who stand in the position of Eve in the course of restoring the world through indemnity, they have had to risk their lives in order to assure God's will would pass to the next generation.

When we look at the historical record in the Bible, we see a number of events that seem to defy explanation.

God's original intention in His creation was that Eve would become one with God.

Because Eve followed Satan's command, she became one with him.

Immediately after the Fall, God began the work through the family of Adam in order to undo the wrong course of history by going through the reverse course.

God worked through Adam's family because by them not linking to God, the fall deprived members of this family of eternity which they were given this privilege at their creation.

This is the process God used to bring about restoration of the first parents:

Cain was the very first fruit of love linked to Satan who took Eve which was on the side of evil.  Abel who was the second fruit of love, was placed to resemble the side of heaven.

This was the beginning of the history of struggle between good and evil which was aimed at the fundamental restoration through indemnity.

Cain and Abel made offerings to God at the same time, but God received only the offering from Abel, the second son, who represented God's side.

Cain represented Satan's side and God refused his offering.

The reason for this was that the second son should restore the birthright of the first son who represented Satan who was the first 'son' in relation to Adam.

Cain was to make his offering through Abel.  This is the orderly path of restoring the mistake of their parents.  This would have restored their mistake.

But because Cain could not humble to Abel and killed his brother, heaven thus worked through Seth who worked on behalf of Abel.  This providence was extended to his descendants.

Because of their failure to restore the Fall, while outside of their mother's womb, God had to accomplish His dispensation beginning within the womb.

Once we know this simple fact, we understand when Rebecca asked God why Esau and Jacob fought within her womb, God said, "Two nations are in your womb..the elder shall serve the younger." Genesis 25:23

After she understood the providence of God's will to return the mistake of Cain and Abel, she came to take greater care of the second son, Jacob.

Jacob had the responsibility to restore through indemnity the birthright of his brother Esau, emulating Adam and Abel to take back the birthright of God from Satan and Cain and bringing it back to the correct position.

That leaves one position left for this to be successful.  Rebecca needed to fulfill her responsibility in the position of Eve.

Now, we can understand the biblical account of why the firstborn was struck in Egypt during the course of Israelites' exodus and Jacob's switching of his hands over Manasseh and Ephraim at the time of their blessing.

These all contained the hidden will of heaven in order to bring about the reversal of the mistake of the first and second sons.

God's Providence to Send the Messiah


Eve deceived, God, her Father and Adam, in her fall.  To restore this, Rebecca stood on heaven's side and deceived the father Isaac and her son Esau so that Jacob could receive the blessing.

Jacob bought the birthright of the first born and initiated the lineage of Israelites on this victory which was won with the cooperation of a mother and her son.

However, when Jacob was successful in fulfilling God's will of taking full control of the birthright of the firstborn, he was already forty years old.

Therefore those who were forty and older were in the realm of victory over Satan.

But those under forty did not have a condition that gave them victory over the control of Satan on that level.

Therefore, a new dispensation was carried out for the purpose of gaining victory within the womb.  Tarmar and her twins Zerah and Perez.  Perez was the younger brother, but he pushed Zerah aside in order to become be the first born.  In fact, the word "Perez" is derived from this event.

At the beginning of history, Satan's lineage was planted within the mother's womb.

How was this possible when humanity was created by God?

We saw in the previous post that the misuse of the sexual organs was the actual cause of the Fall.

The archangel had tempted Eve with fallen love that was outside of God's dominion.  Through a sexual relationship passed on this sin to Adam, thus bearing children that were connected to Satan's blood.

The only way that the blood lineage passes from one to the other is through the action of a sexual encounter.

This mother's womb was restored to the side of God through Tamar following the will of God. Therefore, heaven took control over the first-son realm and the second son realm to God's original lineage which had caused the fall.

This was the way that the tribe of Judah formed a pure foundation where the Messiah could be born through that lineage.

This was not a simple reversal.

Tamar, as a woman fulfilling Eve's mistake, had to place herself in the position of deceiving her father and son.   She had to deny her father-in-law and his sons, whom she eventually would marry, in order to separate the position of Eve from Satan.

After this was accomplished, a basic tradition was established where God's children could be conceived without the original sin. The womb was purified from Satan's invasion.

Then it was up to the Israelites and Judaism to carry on this standard of victory in the womb until the time of the Messiah could be sent.

But by then , Satan had already had an established nation in the world.  Therefore, to send the Messiah at that time, there was not a safe national foundation for him to stand where the dispensation for restoring the world.

God had to wait 2,000 years until there was enough of this national foundation, where a woman could stand in the position of Eve, for Him to carry out His providence.

This finally took place through Mary who was Jesus' mother.

When Adam and Eve created the fall, they were engaged at that time, but they were not married by God yet.

In the same way, Mary and Joseph were betrothed to each other centered on God.  Just as Rebecca and Tamar, Mary was a revolutionary woman.  She was called by God to take part in the process of recreating Adam.

Since, Eve had deceived God and Adam, Mary had to place herself in a position to reverse Eve's mistake by deceiving her father and son.

This is the process where Jesus was conceived.  Therefore, Satan could not invade Mary's womb during the time of Jesus.

Jesus was born of a womb that belonged to a victorious woman who reveresed the reverse is the first fruit of the first love.

This was the first time in history that the bond to love Satan's children was established.

During the time that Jesus was in Mary's womb, Satan could make no invasion through lineage.  Even though saints dedicated their lives as individuals.

This is true today.  There, the Christian point of view was able to be used and was able to spread.

Finally, God has worked to use the victory in the Second War and the Christian cultural sphere to be able to accomplish unification of the world.

What to Leave Behind Before Death

The process of dying for people is no different than the process for animals.

Even if a person lived an exemplary life and were honored for their patriotism with a monument, it would disappear when America perishes.

Even if the monument was to stand for centuries during the time of the country's prosperity, it can later be viewed as bad during the period of decline.

Leave a tomb of love behind.

God's purpose is to have His posterity populate the earth.

Do we live in such a world?

Therefore, when we go before God at the end of our life, we also come to stand in His position after leaving behind children of the living God on the earth.

"Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth," in the Bible describes this.

So, how will you live your life?

Do you only want to leave a tomb behind and a lot of debt and the regret in how we have lived?

Let us leave a tomb of love behind.

If you live inside a tomb of love, you will feel no bitter sorrow. 

Of course, you would feel stifled living in a tomb, but you will not feel any sadness if you live in love.

If you live within love and then die, Go will bring His sons and daughters to welcome you in the spirit world.

If you do not have any fancy clothes, He will dress you in the richest apparel fit for royalty in Heaven.

Property rights in the spirit world are determined through witnessing

How much property you can own in the spirit world is determined by how many citizen you bring to the Kingdom of Heaven.

The time will come when millions of people will be witnessed to the new truth in one day.  We have such tremendous potential at this moment.

When we look in the world, we see many people wandering around like lunatics in agony over whether to live or die through ending their own sad existence.  Suicide has become an option to a difficult time in one's life.

The bigger your heart is when you enter the spirit world, the more the people will line up to be with you.

Such a person of heart will be respected in the spirit world.  If millions were to wish to live with him, he would become wealthy with extensive domains.

What kind of person would find wealth in the next world?

The one who invests for the sake of love is rich.

To witness to brothers and sisters is the way to collect the blessings of love.

With love, we as owners are able to recover the property of heaven which was stolen by the satanic world.

We live in a world where those who do the most evil are able to prosper, but we are in an age where those who center their lives on God will prosper.

If we approach those we witness with the heart of love more than their mother and father have for them, then we are able to bring in all of the blessings related to love.

Even if you are mistreated along the way, you will not perish.  Myriads of saints and all of the things of creation will follow you.

Thereby, you will become wealthy naturally.

Therefore, take care of Satan's children.  Each of us are to look after more than 120 people.  The Kingdom of Heaven lost all of its citizens, but by engrafting them, we establish a condition for them not to be lost any longer.

Once you enter the spirit world you leave money, treasure behind.  The people you bring to Heaven is all you can bring to spirit world.  You leave behind everything that is physical.

In order to pass through the twelve pearly gates in spirit world, you must recover the citizens of heaven from Satan through witnessing them to God's word on earth.

This path of faith is not an easy one.

You must shed tears, sweat and blood.  With the heart of love for restoration of the world, invest your heart more than any father, mother, sister, brother husband, wife, sons and daughters in the satanic world.

Then through shedding your tears, sweat and blood bring about the transitional process to bring satanic children back into God's bosom.

If you are unable to do so, you cannot become the citizen of heaven.

Based on the number of citizens you win to heaven, your position of glory and your closeness to God in the other world will be established.

You are unable to take possessions or positions of earthly glory to the spirit world.

So, what should you do from now on in life to prepare for the next life?

It is to recreate as many sons and daughters of God to love.

We can bring our own children, but there is only a certain amount of babies one can procreate while on earth.

By recovering many sons and daughters whom God can love from the satanic world, your deeds will be linked to your ancestors and serve to help liberate them as well.

This is the greatest gift you can obtain in the course of restoring the world.

If you were a regional director, but you have not witnessed one person to come to God, you will go to the spirit world empty handed because you will not have even one person attached to you.

Position and grandeur enjoyed on earth do not pas on to the next world if it was not based on bringing people to the heavenly Kingdom.

Heaven is an infinite world requiring bridges linking up with the heart of love. 

The more people you witness over the world, the more you will be able to move around in the spirit world because everyone will want to be be linked to you.

By resolving relationship problems on earth creates a vast base for the relationships you are able to resolve in heaven.  Therefore, your sphere of activity will spread out to the entire spirit world based upon this standard.

If you are unable to create this base, you will be pushed into a corner and will be restricted.  After learning how important our activities are on earth, there is no spare time to be idle or rest.

Eating, living and raising children are no issue in the spirit world.

We must recover heavenly citizens; they become your assets there. We must digest all of the human problems and the world.

If we are able to restore much of the problems humanity faces today, all the spirits in the next world will undergo returning resurrection.

If the satanic foundation which stole the birthright returns to God's foundation, the archangel will listen to us and follow.

If we stand in the absolute position of obedience, the archangel enters the realm of Adam's love together with God's love.

Thereby, naturally he enters heaven following Adam.  This is the principle and was heaven's original plan before the Fall.

People on earth even those of any faith, have been unable to fulfill this responsibility which caused a mess they must clean up, not God.

We must understand the tremendous power of witnessing.

The way to restore the world through indemnity, paying for past wrongs has been opened up.

Jesus paid for the initial way for spiritual salvation but lost his physical body in the process, and we enter the era of bringing about full and complete physical salvation.

Just singing empty praises and going to church is useless in terms of salvation.

We must bear actual fruit.

The question is how many people can you bring in for registration into the realm of eternal life.

When Jesus approached a fig tree to see if it had any fruit, he cursed it when he found it to be fruitless.  Thus, it withered and died.  This is how judgement will be.

What is the use in keeping appearances of having a successful witnessing campaign if when you reach heaven you find yourself without a harvest?

You need to bring 120 people, even hundreds to Heaven.  The number 120 represents the nations of the world at the time of Jesus.

The 430 families are equivalent to all the surnames in one nation. The 430 families represent 4,300 years of Korean history. Through them, I opened the gate for the citizens represented by these surnames to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Although I have opened it, it does not mean they have actually entered. This is not empty talk; it is logical. 


Once you are able to raise sons and daughters will you be able to leave to your descendants a foundation to be proud of.

Only after your children become great people can you stand proud before history.

To rise to the national level, you need actual results that can be passed on as a tradition.  This is why everyone desires to leave something behind for the nation, the world and heaven and earth.

This principle applies to you as well.

You must set a clear life-long goal of purpose to establish your domain of ownership.  Therefore, do not think of giving up on the way of God's will even if you do not like it and there is tremendous suffering along the way.

"Why would I take on that responsibility even if it means I have to go to prison and suffer there alone to save people from suffering in such circumstances. People in suffering circumstances will follow if it can benefit them.

By following, they are harvested. When I go to the spirit world, because all I have done will be welcomed as something public, I will go to the highest position of the heavenly kingdom.

If citizens are well educated, the nation prospers. The same principle applies to you. It is a question of how much you can reason with people, straighten out their attitudes, and leave behind the achievement of your ideals centering on the realm of life of the heavenly kingdom.

If this is done, the world will be restored quickly. That is why you have to devotedly raise them.

It is the same with me. When I give sermons, I speak for five or six hours at a time. I do not do that because I like to.

The gist of a sermon is simple and does not even require a fifteen minute talk. I speak that long because I try to make it easy for different types of people, for those who have come to hear, to understand the gist by explaining to them using many examples, and to have them participate within that sphere.

The purpose is to sow as many seeds as possible in the spring season. If I sow many seeds, many plants will grow."

Reverend Sun Myung Moon


Then where must you sow your seeds?

In an unspoiled place.  Where would that be?

In adolescents.  Once you sow your seeds in them, they will last a lifetimes.  They will not be uprooted.  People are more sensitive in elementary school.  Peoples' senses are dull as they advance to middle and high school.

Once they go to university, this is like passing through a neighboring village, an excursion of activity.  The most difficult time is during elementary school.

Where must you sow the seeds, then? It must be an unspoiled place. Where is that? Adolescents. Once you sow seeds in them, they will last a lifetime. They will not be uprooted.

As time goes by, the sensitivity dulls.  We must sow seeds of life accordingly.

If in Sunday school, you teach children songs and read stories, such things will become external assests for your future.

Whenever you meet elderly people, testify to God's Word. 

May church leaders are not laying these seeds well.

Even when you have time on the bus, you can talk to ten people and ask them where they are going so you can get to know them.

You can arrange to see them again so you can introduce the Divine Principle to them.  There are enough materials to witness them as much as you like.

It is much better to witness on the bus and the subway instead of driving alone in your car.  If you commute routinely for twelve months a year, you will get to know people simply by their faces.  By greeting them, you are tapping into an interactive network of people.  Such paths have been cleared, but we are wasting our time on just individual, superficial things.

More important than eating is harvesting the citizens of heaven.

We are not sowing seeds well.

This should be our main occupation as people of faith.  This is or principle activity while we live on earth.

Among all of the work you do in your lifetime, the most important thing is to sow seeds for citizens of haven.  Getting a good job, being promoted, making money is all just water under the bridge.

Money quickly becomes useless in the other world.  Materials, and knowledge are also unnecessary in the life after here.

There, you do not have to be taught many things, you mind can know things within a week.




Return for Tomorrow's Post: The Nobility of Life on Earth


This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook Cheon Seong Gyeong Book 5

Crossing the Border to Victory

As the saying goes, there are few guarantees in life other than death and taxes.  This is far from the original world which God had bestowed to us.

Everyone on earth has thought about or feared at one moment about the point we cross the last border.

No matter how much we avoid it, we will each die in our lifetime.

This is each human's final destination on earth. We should pass the line even if we have to brave the fiercest storm.  Where is the value in doing well most of the way and then collapsing just before you are to cross the finish line?

On the other hand, what is the use in living the good life if we end up living it in a secular way?  You chose to live the right way by joining and following this way of life.

You can think of yourself as a motley crew.

It is good that you joined.  Even though we are totally focused, we still have doubts that we can make it all the way on this difficult course where many have sacrificed and died to see the day of World Peace. Yet, after thousands years of sacrifice, we the day of peace still has not dawned.

Be encouraged and don't give up in the middle of the battle.

We win victory only as we dash toward the finish line at the last border.

Every human that is born on earth should make this effort to walk this path.

No matter how much opposition or persecution you receive, it is worth continuing on your path.

Opposition is not our concern.

A person that is able to work hard and walk his destined path one step at a time, even if he has to crawl, will eventually cross the final border.

Everyone from the President to the farmer must go this way.  If everyone was to live this way for the cause, then world peace would appear in one generation.

Modeling ourselves after God's external form, heart and divine character

Everyone will eventually shed their physical body and move on to the spirit world, no matter how healthy or wealthy they have lived.

As human beings who are born into this world, we must be prepared for our inevitable death.

We endure through the suffering so we can form our good self into the second self we will be in the eternal world.

Once a mother receives good prenatal education and care while she is pregnant, then the baby will be born as a good and healthy baby.  In this way, your life on earth is similar to the same care and attention you received while in the mother's womb.

We should grow by modeling ourselves after God's external perfect form with His heart and divine character.

As we grow, we should risk our lives in overcoming obstacles in order to achieve this goal of perfection.

Do not sin

Of course if it was as easy as making an effort to never sin again, maybe world peace would have been founded on religious efforts alone.

But when we talk about the mind must be straight, we see why people walk upright; they must be vertical.  We should make our mind completely vertical as God is.  Your body will from the horizontal line.

Accordingly, you must find your true self.

When you say that you have finally found yourself which is in line with God's standard, then God
should be able to agree and the Messiah must agree.

Your relatives, your tribe, nation must also be able to say that is right.  The one who is accused by any one of these is the problem.

In the future, the continents will be divided not based on superficial borders, but between frigid zones and temperate zones.

There will be a time when those who continue to sin a lot despite the world becoming united centered on God's true way, they will be sent to the North Pole.  This is the same as patients who have contagious diseases and are quarantined.

Live and die for the world

We have gone from an era where saints, sages and people of faith walked a blood path to see the day of glory where God standard would shine as the rising sun to an era of individualism.


I did not work hard for the sake of the Asian situation or the Korean people. Think about how to fulfill your responsibilities in the global field and be willing to die for this cause.


When you think upon these things, you must live and die for the sake of the world.  Once you stand on the global level and die for people of the world while embracing your loving spouse, family and race, this is the position you should reach when you die.

We have formed tribes and are now forming a race.

When the founder of the Unification Church dies, he will die for the sake of the world while he embraces Korea, also.  If the Korean people unite and die for the sake of the world, there will be a paht for them to be able to live with the world.  This is how Reverend Moon went forward seeking that path.

Work hard

This is the territory where you work: If you need money, make it; if you need people, work hard without eating or sleeping to raise them.

Do not ask anyone for help.  Do not rely on the church headquarters to help; you should help them with what they need instead.

Work three times harder than ordinary people to make it through this difficult path.

That is why, if I were to live for 70 years, my life content would actually be equivalent to 210 years. Likewise, don't think of living for 100 years; instead, think of working three times harder than others. If you were to live that way for 70 years, it would be worth 210 years. 


Only when you live to this standard can you bear fruit and increase your ownership of love in the spirit world.

When you live that way, you can bear fruit and increase your ownership of love in the spirit world.  That way of life yields a life of freedom in the spirit world.  Your fortune of love will grow.  Your ownership will grow and your sphere of activities will expand.

Work for the public good

Society has moved away from the idea of living beyond the family for the good of the public purpose.  Private matters belong to Satan and public matter belong to God.

What are the laws of heaven which we abide by?  They are to promote the public righteousness.

Even if you are opposed as you walk this course, if you are not disturbed by the opposition but go the way of hardship with vitality, you will become a person of heaven who will welcome spring.

If you notice a greedy shopkeeper, you'll see that that there will not be many customers who will buy from him.  The world does not have a need for a greedy person.

Everyone has the innate knowledge of what is the secrets of managing one's life in terms of distinguishing between private and public matters.

Therefore, if you are unable to go to heaven because you lived a selfish way of life, there will be no excuse that you did not know how to manage your life in the true way.  Why?

You already know the distinction between what is a private matter and what is a public matter without the need to be taught.

Let's say that you and your brother or sister were dividing rice crispy treats equally and you eat your share, but your sister keeps hers without eating it.  Then you wake up at night and you secretly eat your sister's half which she had her heart set on.

Before you can eat it, your conscience will warn you, "You devil you!"  If you are unable to feel this in your consciences, you are not a true human being.

Some people have suppressed their good conscience by so much of their evil deeds that they are numb to its calls of warning.  You should feel this.  Why?

Because your conscience was created to pursue public matters.  Your subconscious is God.

If you follow private desires you will perish.

In the world that originally existed, when you follow the laws of heaven, a mind defends and protects them from destruction.

What does it mean 'originally" existed?

God originally had such a mind and human beings came to have the same mind from the start of our creation.  This is not a man-made law.

Is anyone able to change their conscience's standard by commanding it to follow the way he chooses?
Where does our conscience receive its orders?

We do not know the origin, we do know that it does not originate from us, but outside ourselves.

When we see that our conscience guides feelings that control us, we can understand that they do so over public and private matters.

People struggle internally and externally at the crossroads between good and evil and between their public and private lives daily.

In many cases, people struggle between the two before they settle for a self-centered private lifestyle that does not expand outside the realm of his individual self or family life.

Those who live in this way will perish.

Therefore, in order to go in the right direction, we must repent for our past self-centered, private lives.  They should grit their teeth and push toward living publicly  and end up distancing themselves from the public good.

This has been your life of faith until today.  Therefore, all of those who live a private life, must repent.

Everyone wishes to receive good fortune and to live forever.

In order to live in this way, you must become a public person.

This means in educating your children, don't just love them as your own, but become parents who love their children as offerings for the sake of the people of the world.

Teach them to live for the sake of others.

When you hold your baby to your breast and nurse them, think of yourselves and your baby as representatives of the entire human race on earth.

Become a woman who can nurse your babies with such a heart.

Instead of caring only for your children and how they appear in front of others, cherish other people's children as your own with a loving heart.  Babies who are suckled by such mothers will certainly grow up to become great people.

Of course, you will not be able to see such a result right away in your family, but after the first and second generations among your descendants, there will be born great figures who can rule the world.  This is the formula.

Which would you prefer to dedicate your life toward, a life indemnifying private matters or public matters.  Both are devoted to some purpose.

Such people who are able to risk their entire lives for the good of the public will become great people.

A group like this will set up a new history toward a better world.

This is the course of tribulation which we must follow from now on.  When you manage your life, the issue is whether you can live your life individualistically as much of the world or publicly.

For whom do you eat, wear, buy sell things in your daily life?  Is it for yourself or for the purpose of God?

This is the issue: whether your life is a private or public life.  Do you have a private or a public mind in all these activities?

You should pledge to go the public way.  If you are supposed to indemnify the sinful, wrong history which humanity has gone, you must advance to the stage that everyone desires.

During each day, you must make effort to transcend private feelings and embody public feelings. This is the important issue that all people of faith must concern themselves with.

What is sin?

Sin came into the world from a private standpoint.  Therefore, ruin comes along through the private way of living.  Evil is the same.  When one pursues private matters just for their own life to a certain degree, they manifest evil.  Private matters only go to a certain limits.  When you reach the limit of a private life, sin, evil and ruin are the result.

Where will be in a position to be eternally good, prosperous and fortunate for eternity?  How do we get to the point where we can prevent sin,evil and ruin?  That position is a public standpoint.  When you speak, you should digest the situation with public words and not from a private mind.  In this way, live connecting all aspects of your lives with public matters.

Such people are not able to go to hell even if they try.

Experience love

Do you live your life only concerned about yourself?  Do you think, "I am the only one."

If everything that your parents and elements supplied by creation were removed from you, you would disappear. So, how can anyone claim that they belong to themselves.

We are each in a position to represent our mother and father.

You live through your mother and father by going through the period in the womb, inherit their blood and flesh and are provided for by them.

In the modern age, the term Mother Earth and Mother Nature are used.

This planet is our mother which provides us with elements at different levels.  What do we breathe while we are in the mother's womb?

e breathe in the womb through the umbilical cord.  This is a hose that is linked to the mother's body.

Now we are connected to this second world, the world of air.  As we emerge from life in the womb, we cause destruction.

Thus, the moment from our first cry, we are connected with the world of air where we breathe air through the nostrils.  Our nostrils are the absolute supply line.

Can we live if our nostrils are all the sudden both blocked?  Any human who is unable to breathe will die.  It is made with a dual structure.

The umblical cord and the placenta which the baby depended on to live is destroyed once he comes from the womb.  So, what appears at the point of death when we are being born into the spirit world?  The baby comes out into the universe, to the Mother Earth and come to live by the supply of elements through its mouth.  Our nostrils are prepared as the airway while we are breathing through the umbilical cord in the womb.

Once we emerge from the womb, we switch the use of the organ and begin to breathe.  Likewise, what must we do in this world to prepare for the next world now?

We must experience love, inhale the air of love from our mother and father and undergo all processes by the supply of the air of love.  Once we are born in a family as a baby, then we go up and then come down along a sine curve.  After we are born as a baby, we grow and age, then we die and are dissolved back into the earth.

We are born as a baby and return to the stage of being a baby again in our old age.  What will happen when we die?
We have to kick away the second womb and be connected to the thrid breathing organ of love which is the air we breathe in the next world.

We kick away parental love and fraternal love and enter teh world of love which is in total harmony with the Original Being of the great cosmos, God.

The spirit world is filled with the air of love.

Therefore, we should prepare our life here on earth as a pipe-like device for breathing love.

We need to experience the spirit world.  We become immortal only when we become people who feel spiritual love and then breathe the air of love.

Then when we kick away this womb we call Mother Earth and come out, we breathe with the respiratory organs of love.  We can gain eternal life only when we inherit the third love.  Where do we go after being connected with love?

We then return to God.

We return to the spirit world by being linked to teh respiratory organ of love.  yet there remains the way to go to God.

Since God is the originator of the seed, it must bear fruit and return to Him.  The course of life being a traveler's journey, then what must we take with us here?  We must go this path of experiencing love.

The Fall meant that we could not receive parental love, we must form the vertical family centering on true parental love, true brotherly love, true conjugal love and true filial love.

Families should be formed in the north, south, east and west.  These families should form true families that can link the vertical with the horizontal.  When this is linked to the realm of tribe, people, nation and world which is bound by love.  This is called the Kingdom of Heaven.

Leave a Tomb of Love Behind

When we think of eternal life, we don't think in terms of years or centuries, we think in millennia or
eons.  When people die, they are no different from animals at that point -  their bodies return to the earth.

What is the use in leaving something behind? Even atheists and agnostics say that they want to leave a name behind for themselves.

What's the use in leaving behind a good name.  Even if you are able to become a patriot or are honored with a monument, it would disappear when that country perishes.

Even if you were to leave your name behind, a name is only able to be considered good during a period os prosperity, but it can later be viewed as bad during a period that the country experiences a period of decline.

God's purpose is to have His posterity populate the earth. 

When we enter spirit world and go before God in the spirit world after leaving behind children who live for God on earth, we also come to stand in His position.

Therefore, how will you live on earth?

Leave a tomb of love behind.

If you live inside a tomb of love, then you will feel no bitter sorrow.

You may get tired living within this tomb, but will feel no bitter sorrow if you live in love.  If you are able to live in a tomb of love in your lifetime, your life will be a success for eternity.

If you are able to live and die living in this way, God will bring His sons and daughters to welcome you in the spirit world.  If there's no ring yet on your hand, God will put a diamond ring of the Kingdom of Heaven on your finger.

If you are not well-dressed, God will dress you in the richest apparel fit for royalty of the Kingdom of Heaven.
