Your Conscience is Second God

This following speech was given at the World Media Conference in 1990 in the city of Moscow, the capital of the former Soviet Union:


"I feel there is no place more appropriate to gather for these discussions than right here in the Soviet Union.

We developed two excellent organizations which are also committed to the quest for world peace.  For me to come to Moscow is an emotional experience. I would like to express my appreciation to the Soviet government, especially the officials of Novosti Press Agency.

You have welcomed us to your great capital in a most hospitable manner. My wife and I, and our entire family, are moved by your kindness.

I am sure that all of the guests in this room who have come from every corner of the world, including former heads of state and government, will join with me in expressing our deep gratitude to our hosts in this country. Would you join with me in giving them a round of applause?"


Reverend Sun Myung Moon

True Unification and One World 

Father Moon was asked by Soviet media what his views was on the importance of spiritual renaissance as the foundation to social, economic and political progress.  He elaborated on these views:

Such a spiritual renaissance is vitally important.

In order to achieve such a goal, there needs to be a deeper understanding of the human situation.

Therefore, there needs to be some reflection on philosophical and religious topics.  It may not concern the media, but it is the fundamental understanding necessary to secure true peace in the world.

Furthermore, it is the essence of the Reverend's lifelong search, discovery and teaching God's original ideal for the world which is opposite of the world we live in now.

When we observe the universe, we see that every being exists through the pair system or union of elements.  This is true on every level beginning even with the mineral realm.  

Molecules are made from the union of a positive ion and a negative ion.  On the level of plants, existence and reproduction require the union of stamen and pistil.  Even though this is at a different level, it represents male and female aspects.

This pair system is more obvious beginning on the levels of animals.

Fish, birds, mammals and all animals exist as male and female.  Finally, the supreme creations of God, human beings, are either men or women.

The first man Adam and the first woman Eve, were the original ancestors of mankind.

Why was the pair system created?  Why did God create in this way?

The Creator made all of creation as male or female so they might unite through their action of give and take in love.

Through this action, each species multiplies and extends its lineage through their union.  Human ambition is limitless and eternal. 

What is man's infinite desire and goal?

For woman it is man; for man it is woman.  Both man and woman can find true love only through interaction of each other.  In history, the differing views of life, the universe and God have presented unresolved problems.

These problems are to be found when true man and true woman unite centered on God in true love, creating absolute oneness.  This is the source of absolute value.  

Man exists for the sake of woman. Woman exists for the sake of man. 

Man and woman each are the object of love of the other.

Because God is a being of absolute love, He wanted to create objects of love which He can pour out His love. 

In doing this, He naturally looks forward to His love returning from men and women.

In this way, God would feel infinite joy.

To become perfect objects of love for God, we must be united in love first.

We have to go through a growth period and maturity of our spirit just as we have to mature our physical body, before we can stand as a mature human couple that resembles God, receive and return His love.  Have we seen such a mature couple throughout society?

The pattern of true love is not that of being served; it is to serve others. 

When God initially created His object of love, He invested every ounce of His energy - 100 percent of His being.

Based on this standard God had during creation, thus, this established the pattern of true love.  This tradition of true love as total investment was established by God.

This is where true love became the center of the universe and even almighty God chooses to be obedient to it.

Once God spent all of Himself, He made Himself a vacuum.  

In the atmosphere, when there is a low pressure area, the high pressure air is automatically attracted.

On the same token, when someone serves another to the absolute degree, energy rushes in to fill that person up.All the love that God has given to create the perfect objects must be returned to Him by men and women.

Only love transcends all barriers. 

When you unite with God in true love, you have dominion over all of God's creation both physical and spiritual.

When you can live completely for others, you are reaching the very essence of God's own being who invested Himself for others.

God's vibrations become your vibrations once you obtain unity with Him.

Then God's feelings are naturally transmitting to you.  Through living this way, you become a resonant body of God's heart and love.  As much as two tuning forks resonating together, you and God always resonate together.

This unity describes the original state of human beings.

Once you achieve that state, the love of God becomes your love, God's life becomes your life, and the blood lineage of God becomes your blood lineage.

This world which God created then becomes your world.  We were meant to share the love of God with all things in heaven and earth.

We are to be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven with the heart of parents.

Man's separation from God

The law of cause and effects is clearly evident in history.

Whatever you sow, you will eventually reap.

Adam and Eve sowed a seed of sexual immorality and the abuse of love while they are still growing.

This was the Fall of man.

God wanted humanity to grow in purity until He blessed them in heavenly matrimony, thus becoming the foundation of God's true love, true life, and true blood lineage.

Humanity would naturally have become true son and daughters of God living in the kingdom of Heaven on earth and in spirit world, once the first human ancestors reached perfection and were blessed in marriage directly by God.

However, while Adam and Eve were teenagers, the archangel tempted Eve away from God.  He engaged in spiritual fornication with her.

In this way, Lucifer became Satan, God's enemy of His love.  Eve had then passed on this fallen blood lineage to Adam through engaging in physical sex.

This is how our history as humans was sown.  

Today, we reaped  consequences: immorality is rampant.  Teenagers in particular are the victims of widespread sexual degradation.  Modern society in the advanced nations is different from Sodom and Gomorrah in the biblical times.

God abhors this immoral behavior.

We must fear the wrath of God and live according to His will.  The punishment is imminent.  The struggle of God and the evil god is the center of goodness.

Satan is the center of evil.  

The history of humanity has been that of struggle between good and evil between God, and Satan through working through men and women.

The history of humanity is a constant struggle between good or bad.

Satan, being arrogant and greedy, always attacks the side of goodness. 

God's camp is always hit and suffer, but God is able to have the opportunity to bring justice.

For example, World war II had the Axis powers after initially attacking. Every exploiting power will ultimately decline, while those who suffer under persecution for the sake of good will ultimately be raised up by God.

The side of good is vindicated and occupies new territory.  Then Satan's side must withdraw and decline.    

\

My own life is representative of this. I have been struggling for the sake of good and the cause of God, but the opposition has been relentless. Years ago, I was tortured and beaten, and I have been imprisoned numerous times. One would think that my movement would die out and be forgotten, but the opposite has occurred. I have built a worldwide foundation, and have continuously advanced and prospered.

Conscience: Teacher and Parent

Every human being has experienced at least one most precious teacher.

That teacher has been beaten upon, mistreated.  That teacher is the human conscience.  Your conscience always speaks out for your own benefit trying to connect you to true love.

Like a parent, your conscience urges you to be a good, unselfish individual, and guides you to do the will of God.

But within each person there is also a rebel who always goes against the conscience. That rebel is the physical body.

The leader of such a thought is Satan.

The body has trampled and abused the conscience miserably. When one becomes aware of this, can he take the side of the body which has been the enemy of his own conscience, which has greatly damaged his own life and true personality?

Your conscience should be your constant internal teacher and parent. 

It will lead you to complete unity with the ultimate parent of mankind, God.

The conscience, then, is the agent of God within you, and may even be called a "second God."

Do you think you should be sympathetic and protective of your body, the enemy of the conscience? Or do you think you should control and confine your body and vindicate your conscience?

Your body only goes after carnal desire.

When it is hungry, it steals and satisfies itself. It always seeks for comfort, and wants to take advantage of others.

The body or flesh has its own realm. To conquer the realm of the body is an awesome responsibility which every person must undertake.

When this is achieved, the mind as the vertical self and the body as the horizontal self are completely harmonized into oneness.  Thus a person reaches perfection, united in love with God for eternity.

The Role of Religion

God is the source of true love, true life, and true blood lineage.

Since we human beings originate from this source, we must also have true love, true life and true blood lineage.

However, because of the fall of man, tragically, man never achieved the position of being the child of God.

Instead, men and women have received love, life and lineage from Satan.

Due to the fall of man, love today is basically self-centered. That self-centered love does not originate from the mind, but is centered upon the body.

The body is where Satan's main activities are conducted. 

The body is Satan's dancing place, the mooring post of Satan.

The mind represents God's position the plus position. But the body, which should assume the object or minus position, tries to make itself another plus, and continuously teases or fools the mind.

In human life, it is crucial to correct this fallen relationship between mind and body.

Therefore, God established religion to rehabilitate fallen man. Through religion, God is teaching people how to strengthen their God- centered mind, and reverse the body's domination of their life and personality.

That is why religion oftentimes demands fasting, sacrificial service and a meek and humble attitude. These are methods for reducing the power of the body and causing the body to submit to the more godly mind.

Normally, in religious life, it takes about 3 to 5 years to change from the habit of a body-centered life, and create a new spirit-centered way of life.

Furthermore, the Bible says, you must pray without ceasing.

This is vitally important because Satan controls the environment of the fallen world. Satan tempts and distracts fallen man from all directions 24 hours a day, while God is only able to work from one direction, the vertical direction of the mind.

The Restoration of God's Ideal

In the eyes of God, the fallen world we embrace is the world of spiritual death.

His will is the restoration of that world of death into the world of life.

Restoration is another way of saying salvation. When the original ideal state has been lost, it must be restored. When a healthy man becomes sick, a physician must come and bring him back to his original health. By the same token, the God-intended original ideal was lost.

Therefore, the work of God is to restore this fallen world to the original sinless state.

In order to accomplish that task, God sends the Messiah. But before the Messiah comes, God prepares a certain chosen group of people to be ready for the Messiah. This is what the Bible calls the orchard of wild olive trees.

The orchard of wild olive trees represents a certain sphere in the fallen realm which God can still direct and control. After this has been prepared, the Messiah comes.

The Messiah then cuts all the wild olive trees in the orchard of God, and grafts into them the true branch of life. In this way, the wild olive trees all become true olive trees. They are returned to the original state of man.

The religious people of today are these wild olive trees in God's orchard, but even the most devout religious person must still seek the Messiah because he has not yet received the true lineage of God.

The Messiah comes as the True Parents of mankind, restoring the position of fallen parents Adam and Eve.

Therefore, in order to be connected to the true lineage of God, each person must unite with the True Parents in these Last Days, and become a recipient of true love. By doing so, each person can become a true son or daughter of God. In this way, the Messiah brings salvation to humankind.

The Messiah, in the position of True Parents, must root out the trees which have grown from false seeds, subjugate Satan and connect mankind into oneness with God in true love, making all people true sons and daughters of God.

In this way, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth can be created, where men and women will finally be able to enjoy true freedom.

What is the way of unification? Let us consider the first human family.

First of all, there is God. Second, there is Adam and Eve. Adam is masculine, and Eve is feminine. They compete with one another to secure the love of God first.

If they are selfishly motivated, there will be no unity. However, if they are unselfishly motivated, Adam will say, "I want to reach God first solely for you, Eve." The woman will be overjoyed. She, in turn, will say, "I only want to reach God for your sake, Adam." Then the husband will be fully satisfied. There is no struggle; there is unity even in their competition.

This is not only the way husband and wife can be happily united; it is more than that. It is the very key to the unification of all people.

God-Centered World View

Throughout history, God has been working through the human conscience. In spite of God's efforts, however, every attempt made thus far to restore man into the original starting point -- the heart of God -- has failed.

It still remains for someone to liberate humankind from this satanic environment and lead a successful search for truth and true love. That is the mission of the Unification movement.

Godism is a God-centered world view, whose essence is the ideal of true love. Godism has two distinct missions: Bring unity between God and man, and bring unity between mind and body.

Since I have discovered the solution to these two fundamental problems the unity of mind and body, and the unity of man and God -- I must proclaim this truth as clearly and effectively as possible without any hesitation.  When you follow this teaching, I assure you that you can definitely conquer the carnal desires of your body. You can become 100 percent united with your mind. Then you are eligible to become the true object of God and establish a true love partnership with God.

Whenever two people are bound together by true love, they are entitled to three important rights: First, the right of inheritance. Second, the right of dwelling together. Third, the right of participation.

Take for example the relationship of husband and wife. The husband might be the president of a great nation, while his wife might be a woman of very humble origin and very little education. If they truly love each other, however, they are equals. They own all things in common, live together, and participate on an equal level.

In the same way, when man and woman are connected to God through true love, they will also enjoy the rights of inheritance, participation and living together eternally with God. When you reach this depth of heart, you will constantly experience the presence of God, and God will truly dwell among men.

True Parents

True love always travels the shortest distance at the greatest speed. Therefore, true love coming from God to the earth travels the shortest distance -- a vertical line.

The love between man and woman also travels the shortest distance, forming a horizontal line. When the vertical true love meets with the horizontal true love, the crossing point must absolutely be 90 degrees. There is no other way these love lines can intersect.

Who is God? God is the vertical True Parents centered on true love. He is intimately close to each of us because He is our vertical parents.

When we welcome the perfected human ancestors -- perfected Adam and Eve -- as True Parents, we create a 90 degree crossing point between the vertical true love of God and the horizontal true love of True Parents. We have two sets of True Parents. From them we receive true love, true life and true blood lineage. This creates one world totally resonating with true love.

The Soviet Union

Ladies and gentlemen, I am very grateful to have the opportunity to share with you these reflections on the nature of God and humanity. I am also very happy to be here in the Soviet Union. My heart truly goes out to the people of the Soviet Union. Many of you have gone through unbearable suffering, and that saddens me.

I love your country and your people very much. I clearly envision a moral and economic renaissance for the Soviet Union that will dramatically affect the entire world. I will do all I can to encourage and support that renaissance.

You are undertaking a new Soviet revolution, but this should be a revolution without blood or bullets -- a revolution of the heart and soul.

I have been speaking about the importance of the family. But I want to tell you that in the depths of my heart, I feel that the Soviet people are a part of my family. I assure you that my wife and children feel the same.

Also, I assure you that members of the Unification movement worldwide will do their utmost to work together with you for the future prosperity and well being of all humanity.

Father believed the former Soviet Union played a key role in returning God's ideal into a world of lasting true peace This vast union of nation he return to roost.

We must regard ourselves as being members of one global family living in one global house.



Return for Tomorrow's Post:  Mankind's Godly Responsibility



This post was rewritten and derived from the Textbook for World Peace Chapter 1

Love of Husband and Wife Flower of Universe

You have probably seen the yin and yang symbols before and know their meaning.

Man is a being having God's yang image and the woman is a being that has God's yin image.

When a couple comes together in marriage, they become the wrapping of heaven and earth in a cloth.  They can then feel the heart of God's ideal love.

God is a being who has dual characteristics.  Human beings are physical being with dual characteristics.

As such, the ideal of husband and wife is so the two can become one and form a completely rounded apple shape.

This would serve as a parent body that is able to pull and attach the ideal of love in the four directions having the form of their four characteristics.

Conjugal love is the flower of the whole universe

When a husband and wife love each other explosively on the basis of the heart of loving God and loving humankind, then God and the universe will also be enraptured by this couple.

This love is for the sake of God and humankind. Any other kind of love is false and is outside of God's realm.  Where is the root of this love?

God is the source of love for humankind, but the root does not lie within Himself.

What is an ideal married couple?

It is a couple who is able to create the highest art and the highest literature.

When we come upon this high world of culture, we can thus see the sweet love that is shared by a husband and wife is the highest love and the most sublime work of art in the world.

The life of a husband and wife should be a most sublime work of literature.  It should become the subject of a literary work.

We always need stimulation.  Happiness does not come without stimulation.

Just as food tastes better when you are hungry, a husband and wife's love should always be fresh.  The more they see each other the more they want to be together all day.

In light of this, you need to do a study on me and do a study on God.


The world desires to establish a family that exhibits God's love where love can blossom together.  This is the desire of humankind and the desire of the future.

The pure love of a husband and wife is so precious and beautiful that it can finally spread the fragrances of history in front of the principles of heaven and earth and appear as a spring flower.

Love is eternal.  

There are not two kinds of such love.  There is only one. When a man and a woman join together in true love, they must live together on earth for a hundred years.

Even after they die, they are to live together eternally in spirit world together.

Even though they have two bodies, they become one body rotating together creating oneness.  When their two bodies become one, they come to rotate with God and establish a four-position foundation of love.

This becomes the ideal world.  False love has no way to invade, only true love will be able to dwell there.

A husband and wife who are able to unite through the love in their hearts should create a family.

The members of such a family, who will share mutual affection, sure go beyond the sphere of their own daily lives.

That love should merge without fail into oneness with God's purpose.

If this kind of family is not established, then they cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

When a man and woman perfect themselves, then the universe becomes perfected.  The day this love is broken, then the order of the universe will also be destroyed and the entire vertical world collapse as well.

When a husband and wife become one through love, a couple attains the capacity to create in the same position as God.

Their child is the result of that attainment, a gift that brings hope to the future.

Heaven is looking for a husband and a wife who bound together as a pure man and a woman who can represent heaven and earth with a passionate, crimson-red heart of love.

You should have such a love as a husband and wife and raise your sons and daughters in this love.

The scene of such a couple hugging and kissing is one of the opposite poles of a flat plane; colliding and generating the light that is to illuminate the path to finding love.

When a white light appears there, then the colors should be added to create a light of colorful brilliance.
When these lights mix through the love of God, they will be transformed into a splendid, ideal world of brightness.

It would be like the colors of the rainbow.

In this time, we are engaged in love that is like instant food or microwaved food. Love gurus give temporary external answers to internal problems between a couple.

Magazines suggest naughty sexual favors and tricks to bring excitement back into the marriage. None give the solution that true love can give.

Love does not deepen just because you take a bath in a bathtub filled with is fragrance.


I would say that the love shared by a couple from the countryside who wash in cold water before going to bed, is purer and becomes deeper with the passing of time. 


A bride and bridegroom should not unite on the foundation of money, honor or power, but through the original love of God.

Today's trend is to mostly focus on the outside successes and appearance rather than the character and heart of another.

Each couple should create a family that loves God, with the wife living for the sake of her husband and the husband loving his wife.

A man is an incarnation of the True Father and a woman an incarnation of the True Mother.

When the husband looks down on his wife as if she was in a lower position, he also looks down on True Mother.

When the wife deceives her husband, she also deceives True Father.

The power where the woman can have dominion over the man and the man can have dominion over the woman is only through the power of love.

The only power that can enable them to have dominion over each other is love.

Only love has dominion.

In regards to physical strength, women cannot match men, but when you place love in the mix, the wife and the husband push and pull each other and become one.

If a person becomes the object partner of love before God, will God like this?  He will.

The melody God likes to hear most is the laughter of a husband wife that are so happy in their love for each other.

When such a couple lives a life with the heart to embrace the world and accommodate the universe then that laughter will spring forth naturally.

In God's sight, a couple such as this one would look like a blooming flower.  This is not just an ideal or abstraction.

We are talking about the original world which God intended to flourish.  When you hear a conversation between a loving husband and wife, it would be more beautiful than any poem or painting in the world.

Moreover, all things that are in harmony come into being through a couple's love. They are like fragrances to God.

God would dwell here as he wants to live surrounded by such beautiful fragrances.

The place of such harmony where God's love enter is the place of love between husband and wife.

Conjugal love cannot be fulfilled if it is shared with another person.


According to every person's original nature, we do not want our partner's love to be divided.

No matter how rich or intelligent a person is, we all want to have harmony with our partner.

The completeness of the husband and wife's love relationship is destroyed if that love is shared with another other than their spouse.

This is not so with the parent-child relationship.

This is because the Principle of Creation mandates that the husband and wife attain absolute oneness in love.

In love, people have the responsibility to absolutely care for and love their partners.

If you are bonded to your spouse by the strong power of love, you should feel joy and have love for your partner no matter what he or she does.

If a wife complains about her husbands smelly feet or the husband doesn't like how the wife has put on a few pounds, this couple has not yet realized complete love.

A couple like this comes together for purposes that are only for their own benefit and not to benefit the other.

A husband and wife are happier if they experience the hurricanes and rain storms as part of the up and downs of life rather than living comfortably throughout their whole life while in pursuit of the ideal love.

Rather than money or knowledge, we need love in order to solve the problems between man and woman.

When you observe voices, you will notice that women's voices are a higher pitch than men's.  Why did God make it this way?

In terms of physical strength, women are weaker than men, but in terms of heart and affection women are higher.

What about men?

Men love broadly.  Women are higher in terms of the love for their husband.

Women are higher in terms of love for their husbands and children, but men have a deeper heart of love for their relatives and country.

This is why we learn from our mother how to love our sons and daughters.

In this way, a balance is struck by linking these two kinds of loves together.

The first three years, a couple will not fit together.

How is it possible for a man and woman with different family backgrounds, customs and norms fit together?

They should  make an effort to fit together until they become one.

Only through love is it possible for greater things to come forth and unite.  This level increases only through a love that is for the sake and benefit of the other.

Therefore, a couple that is fighting will produce children who will lead the nation to destruction. 

Therefore the family is the model for the ideal world.

If a loving couple lives and sacrifices for the sake of others, they will produce God-like princesses and princes who have the full essence of heaven and earth.

Why do a husband and wife fight?  It is because each of them tries to receive love from the other.  Those groups whose members try to receive love and never give love for others benefit will not last long.

Also, the family where everyone tries to receive love will shatter.

On the other hand, a family where everyone has the capacity to love others will not shatter no matter how much one devotes himself to bring that family to ruin.

The love of the family that each tries to give to others is eternal.

Love is simple and foolish.

It does not have a care for any situation.  If I truly love someone, I am not concerned whether someone is watching us from the side.

But a love that is conscious about whether others are watching is a love that will only expand to a certain limit.

How simple and foolish is the love that does not care whether someone is watching how they look or not.

Economic difficulties will not be able to put a rift between a true husband and wife relationship.

Heaven searches for a husband and wife who are bound together as a pure man and woman and can represent heaven and earth with a passionate love.

Would such a couple who love each other could ever think about divorce?

When you see the fact that those who have divorced or are thinking about divorce once had a loving relationship that transcended life and death.  Somewhere something went wrong.

Why is this so?

If a couple loves each other enough to marry what happens to make them want to separate and fight in court?

There can be many reasons for a couple to separate or divorce, but it ultimately signifies that something is lost or has changed between a couple.

One thing is sure is that is happens because they failed to maintain and cultivate their love.  Their love stopped developing and growing at some point.

Love itself does not change, so it is not the reason for a couple to fall apart.  But hearts change.  In marriages throughout the world, power comes from a husband who earns and brings home money.

Therefore, the wife naturally finds strength from seeing her husband bringing in a paycheck.

He gets strength from seeing his wife empowered.  But once the money is reduced, it places a strain on the marriage because it was the glue that bound them.

A true husband and wife would create oneness in love with God at the center.

Some men will wish that when they see a pretty woman that she was their wife or that their wife could be as pretty.  A man who has two minds, we would say that he was a thief.

Satan started out with two minds, it is not wrong to call a man with two minds 'Satan'.  If there is such a man, he is no different from Satan.

Haven't we seen an increase in such behavior?

The Western world lives in a culture of never having enough, of always needing to fill such a great void within themselves that can only be filled by the love of God.

They replace it through the stimulation of women who are not their wives.

A husband and wife can be considered a pair.  Everything in creation exists in a pair system.

Just as everyone has a unique face that differs from others, we all also have different destinies in life.

If a husband has a bad destiny, if his wife has a good destiny then her destiny can change the husband's destiny for the better.

Conversely, if the wife has a bad destiny her husband's good destiny can change hers for the better.

Therefore, we can say that the husband and wife's destiny is like creating a level ground by tearing down mountains and filling up valleys.

After creating this level ground, they can plant trees, plow fields and make plans for their love as they keep the ideals of husband and wife.

Once you know this fact, then you should not judge the external appearance when you find your souse.  Marriage is a fearsome thing.

We think that it is such a happy time when you meet your husband, but it is also a bad time as well.

At this time is not the time to hope for good things only.  Just like would it be good to bathed in the sunlight continuously for twenty-four hours?

Therefore, even in a relationship, there should be a nighttime.

Isn't it natural that something that is high will come down?  Isn't that the law of nature?  A happy family is one where as the husband returns home he discusses with his wife everything that happened to him that day while he was out.

A happy family can be seen as one where they join their strengths and share each other's experiences.

Once the parents do this, the children will contribute their strengths and join in with them, expressing their hope to build such a family.

A loving husband and wife should not fix in their minds what their spouses face should look like.  If you already imagine the face of your partner as having only one appearance how boring would this be to see every day?

When you look at your partner's face with joy, then your partner's face will appear to be joyful.

Haven't you ever noticed that your partner's face does not  look the same from day to day and sometimes from one moment to the next?  If you look upon it with a loving heart, it will look beautiful.

You should always look at your partner's face as new, like that of water which swirls and flows with new shapes appearing every time it turns.

Humanity's beauty does not reside in the face.  As we get older we realize this.

It can be seen and felt from all directions.  Beauty is a three-dimensional form like a ball.  Whether you look at it from above, see it from the side or in any direction, a person has his or her own perfect beauty - everyone.

You should not be careless to evaluate your wife's face.

Many beautiful women are poor, but women who have virtue or good fortune are of a different type.  We often see that a woman who has a pretty face, it seems strange after having just two or three children.  Isn't this true?

Those women who can maintain their beauty even after childbirth are beautiful women. When a husband and wife love each other, they should be able to love their spouse as a representative of God.

Before the woman thinks of her husband as her man she should first think of him as God's son.

When a man and woman love each other from only a humanistic perspective without the viewpoint of God, then they only see their shortcomings on both sides.  This may eventually lead to divorce.

True love has value when people miss each other.

When asking for love, one should use his or her mouth to speak and watch with the eyes wide open so that they can please the one who gives love.

You should know that if you remain dull, love will turn back on the path and run away from you.

If the person who is giving love is passive and does not have a serious attitude, how offended would the other be?

If a husband and wife have to brush their teeth every time before they share a kiss, this is not natural ,loving behavior.

The toothpaste smell will keep them from being able to savor the unique human body smell of their loved one.


When I look at those people who brush their teeth before kissing, I don't know whether they are trying to taste love or taste toothpaste! When we look at the world these days, it is full of calculating, artificial, and hypocritical love to the point that we are confused about what human happiness is; such love is the main culprit leading the world to ruin. 



Soup tastes better when it is served in an earthen bowl, isn't this true?

The rough and thick taste of the certain soups is something you can never forget once you have developed a liking for it.  Likewise, when people develop a liking for the rough and thick flavor of love they will never change.

Just like you get tired of instant or unhealthy food, if you could get love easily anywhere, you would not be able to call it true love.

Who do you think were able to see Adam and Eve dancing naked in the Garden of Eden?  Should we be concerned when a husband and wife dance naked in the room?  It does not matter when they are alon.

The loving words of a husband and wife whispering to each other while they rest in bed would become a tonic to dissolve all the fatigue and hatred from the world.

Among those words spoken, you cannot say, "You have to love me."  Just as love is natural, the secret words of love should be tender and beautiful.

When a husband and wife make love, they should make everyone in the local village know about their love so they will say, "That couple is so much in love and what funny sounds they make at night.  Even the neighborhood rats are shocked and roosters stop crowing at that time."

When someone asks why do the rats and the roosters act in such a way and one can answer because of the shouts of love that shakes heaven and earth.

The place of true conjugal love is a flower of the whole universe.

It is the place where a newly married husband and wife appear as an encapsulation of the historical ages and become one.

God comes and settles down in such a place.

How solemn and fearsome an occasion is the first meeting of a bride and groom that is in the midst of love.  

After you create a cozy environment where you have created a path to God and take on the role of a complete object in love, this is where the heat produced from the love of heaven and earth begins to increase.

After you create such a cozy environment in your life, the environment for your ideas, then you should go to your wife's room.

A husband may wear the same socks days on end, until there are holes and his toes stick out.  Then it begins to accumulate all kinds of odor.

But the loving wife's nose will smell those odors as if they were better than a nice fragrance.

Smelly feet between a loving couple would taste crisp, sweet , sour and intriguing.  When you are able to measure like this using an antennae of love, how much you like it will rise way above the extent of how much you dislike it.

Is it easy to re-create your sons and daughters?

A woman has to go through many extreme things to give birth to new sons and daughters.

Would the spit of your loving husband be dirty?  If some of your spit was to get our your palm would you be willing to lick the spit off your palm or not?  Be honest.

For it to be true love, you would want to lick it and swallow it.  Love knows no dirty things.

When conjugal love catches fire, then two lives become one and then the lineages unite and start boiling in love.

During that time, the owner plants the seed.  When the male essence and the female essence meets in this way, everything will turn.  Things go up and things go down.

When a seed sprouts in an upward spot, it becomes a son, and when it sprouts in a downward spot, it becomes a daughter.

This is a theory, but I do not know if it is really true or not. Since this idea resonates with the theory, if you study it and find out whether it is really true or not, you will be a candidate for a doctorate or a Nobel Prize. 

Having children is the act of conquering the upper realm of God. 

Through the experience of having children, this event leads you to love your child from God's position.

This way you will feel the inner heart of God and how much He loved human beings after the Creation.  A life that is centered on love will solve everything.

Even the tiger eyes of a greedy old man when he is in love will take the shape of the moon as it is in a painting, his stiff mouth will break into a smile and his frozen heart will melt.

Love completely melts down something that has been frozen and love can freeze something that is melted.  Love has the capability to contain two extremes and still go even further.

If you look carefully at the Chinese characters for "to like" it combines the characters for 'man' and 'woman'.  There is a saying that a fight between a husband and wife is the the same as cutting water with a knife.

When you cut water does it leave a trace?  No, it does not.

Even after fighting, a couple, will put their foreheads together and smile.  Peace then returns between them.

The love of husband and wife is for the sake of reaching up to God.

Genuine love is to love with the entire body as one and with the heart and lineage as a husband and wife who can love like this.  If there was no husband and wife in the world, would there be any excitement in life?

What would people want to achieve if such an union did not exist?

Even in the fallen world, when a man and woman fall in love they say that they feel electricity that was initiated from the archangel, the satanic love.

This kind of spark is unicellular.

The electricity of love that arises in the original world of God is like a lightning of the love of the universe.

It surpasses the former in strength several thousand times.

Moreover, the sound of the movements of human organs is like the sound of thunder. The principle view of love is that the man and woman that are engaged in true love from the original world of God can only meet once they concentrate all their might towards where the lightning of love meets.

This will be the completion of God' purpose of creation - for love.  Do you think God sees you making love with your husband or not?

If God is all-knowing and omniscient, would He close His eyes when the five billion people in the world make love?  How would He feel when He sees such couples?

Well, how many true or good husband and wives that follow God with all their hearts are in the world?  Think about it.

A wife that is reluctant to play the wife's role, reluctant being dragged along to please her spouse.  You should not live like that.  That is not love.

How wonderful would the world be if it turned into an environment where all the butterflies and bees could fly around indoors and outdoors and we could live in harmony within heaven and earth according to God's ideal for a world of peace.  It would be like living in the Garden of Eden before the fall.

Would God fall asleep in bliss?  Why don't we just try living like this already?

God saw how Adam looked with a beard and decided He would make Eve without a beard.  So, what is the greatest masterpiece among all God's creation?  It is a woman.  Women are God's greatest masterpiece.  But who are they created for? They are a great work of art for men. Think in this way.

God Resembles More Than a Man

People of faith have regarded God as their father. But has anyone ever thought that God has more to the equation?

Why would God only resemble a man if He fashioned us as Himself?  Wouldn't God also resemble a woman? This is a good question.

God has dual characteristics of plus and minus.  The plus manifests as Adam and the minus manifests as Eve.

This means that one son and one daughter are the substantial object partners to God.  Therefore, a true man, represents God's plus characteristics and a woman represents God's minus characteristics.

God's internal nature is divided into two characteristics: Man and woman each resemble one characteristic of God when they are born.

God brings the two characteristics together in harmony and reunites them in a form that resembles His internal nature.

Since a man and woman who have reached perfection are the union of God's plus and minus characteristics, they become a harmonious being like God.

This is why a united husband and wife represents the whole of God.

The man becomes an incarnation of the true father's body by representing God's plus characteristics, and the woman becomes an incarnation of the true mother's body by representing the minus characteristics. 

Each man and woman is a representative of God.

Therefore, when a husband and wife come one through love, this is the same as embracing heaven and earth.  This is an encounter on the universal level.

In today's society, love relationships hardly resemble all the directions a true relationship encompass.  At the least a couple may relate to each other only on the level of man and woman, but the true relationship relates to one another on many different levels. 

The husband resembles all men, therefore he occupies more than just the husband position.

He is the representative of the father, elder brother at the same time as he is the husband; since the wife represents all women, she is a representative of the mother, elder sister at the same time as she is the wife.

Thus, this true couple cannot help but love and respect one another.  The man is the yang (plus) image of God and the woman is the yin (minus) image of God.

The coming together of a husband and wife is the same as wrapping heaven and earth in a wrapping cloth.Therefore, the husband and wife feel God's ideal heart of love when they come into oneness.

The man symbolizes heaven, and the woman symbolizes earth. 

The man and woman must unite forming harmony and parallel lines.

The relationship of husband and wife is not just limited to itself, but it represents heaven and earth.  When a man and woman perfect their love, it is the same as the perfection of the universe.

On the other hand, if this love was to shatter, then the order of the universe would be destroyed.  The vertical would would also be utterly demolished.

Which direction did the first husband and wife go?  They were disunited and did not resemble God, therefore, we inherited this kind of conflict which has developed on the universal level.

When a true man and true woman embrace in a loving manner, this is an occasion where the universe becomes one.  This was how God's true nature would have been realized in the human world.

Human beings are born as man and woman because of love.  Love bears fruit when a man and woman become husband and wife.

Thus becoming one.  Men and women are the substantial manifestations of God's love through the dual characteristics.  The two separate characteristics must find God's love in order to unite into one.

For a man and woman to encounter God's love, they must become one in love.  

Therefore, once we are able to meet God's love, we are able to live on the exact same level equal to God.

Modern religion teaches us that God is almighty, above all, all-knowing and all powerful and human beings cannot think to come near to Him except in a lowly position.  This is not the original plan.

It would be blasphemy to think otherwise. But human beings only came to this position after they had chosen another route outside of God's ideal.

Surely God would not give up on His ideal bearing fruit.  Therefore, God has cut a path where humanity can rise to a position where we can stand next to God. This was the original idea for creation.

When a husband and wife become one in God's love after they have become completely one in love, then they can advance all the way to God's position.

Therefore, after fulfilling God's ideal, whatever God possesses, then His children possess.  This is the three great blessings.

God's power is so amazing that He allows His children the authority to participate as co-creators.  At the same time, they inherit the entire ownership of God.

Adam's desire was to dominate heaven and earth.

The value of a true husband and wife would represent the central value of the whole world.  God valued that relationship.  We should see how holy and valuable the original love of a husband and wife is who are untainted by the Fall.  This is the original man and the original woman.

The Reason We Need Conjugal Love

What kind of place is the Kingdom of Heaven?

Simply put, heaven is a place where perfected people, who have true love, enter and live.

Okay, then what kind of people would they be?

Human beings are either man or woman, therefore the perfection of God's ideal love cannot be realized on earth without men or women.

God's love cannot be completed without perfected men and women who possess the ownership of love.

True families must be built in the nation and realize a family Kingdom of Heaven.

Based on this family, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth will be established.  Why is that so?

In order to feel and live in this Kingdom of Heaven in the future, you absolutely need a partner.  You receive stimulation in your family through your partner.

The previous posts speak about how heaven on earth is the extension of a family that has lived in and practiced love on the four relationships of husband and wife, sister and brother, parents and children and mother and father centered on God.

Through your daily life experience within this familial relationships, you can deeply learn the ideal of the future heavenly kingdom.

In order to deeply learn how to live in the heavenly realm, a husband and wife need each other.  Through this stimulation, the husband and wife will learn how to live eternally.

Progress does not move without stimulation.  Conjugal love pulls all the loves of the future into the realm of the present, gives stimulation, supplies the driving force, and brings them to that place.  The love of husband and wife contains the love for the nation, love for the world, and God's love.

Therefore, that love is able to pass freely anywhere.  Only a husband and wife who are united and love one another are able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

This is why a married couple that loves each other while they are on earth are always living in the heavenly kingdom.

Jesus was asked where the Kingdom of Heaven was and he answered that it was in your mind, didn't he?

But today, based on the teachings of the Divine Principle realize Jesus was to take it to the next level. We say that the Kingdom of Heaven is in the family.

If the Kingdom of Heaven is realized in the family, then our purpose will be fulfilled in the Church.  When you look at it this way, you should find and walk the right path centering on the Principle.

In order to realize the Kingdom of Heaven, a married man should be able to love all the women of the world with a heart with which he loves his own wife.

You should think that you selected your wife as the representative partner of all the women of the world.

Likewise, you should not think that your husband is just a husband.  You should think he has been selected as a representative from among all the men of the world.  

This is how women should behave: you should love one man not as one person, but as a representative of all men of the world; that man represents the father, the elder brother and the husband.

This means that a woman should think of her husband as her grandfather, father as well as her elder brother and younger brother.

Through this pure connection, a woman should be able to love her father, grandfather, her elder brother and younger brother.

Only such women can have a partner.

If a woman was to only like her husband, but did not like her father, grandfather, elder brother, younger brother and everyone else, this would be in violation of God's commitment to the greater good.
Therefore, you should carry the heart that is able to love all the men of the world and have a greater outlook that your husband, whom you embrace and love, is a man who is like a fruit of all these relations.

Therefore, if you develop a heart that can love your partner as your parents and brothers by transcending all nations and border, you will be regarded as God's son and daughter.  This is our philosophy.

An Ideal Conjugal Relationship

A true husband is able to say, "Since I was born for your sake, I will live for you and die for you."  This is the same with a true wife.

They are well-suited for each other and live for each other's sake, going beyond their own selves. If such a couple has a family, this family will inevitably become an ideal family, a family of happiness and a family of peace.

No matter how rich, talented or capable a man may be, the motivation of his birth does not lie within himself, because he is born for the sake of a woman.

Can a man be born without a woman?

In the same way, even if a woman can boast about being an America wearing the best makeup, she is still not born for her own sake.  Hence, a man should have broad shoulders and a woman should have broad hips so that they can fit together well.

Where are the ideal husband and wife of true love found?

An ideal husband and wife appear when they converge into one and serve one another, rather than their own interest.   

Can we find ideal people in a place where everyone just lives for themselves in a private manner?  No, we find such people in a place where they try to live for the sake of others.  The husband should be able to give his life for his wife and the wife should be able to give her life for her husband.

A couple who sacrifices in this way will be connected to the realm of God's love and receive direct protection, therefore, they will never fall.

A man should love his wife more than any other man in the world loves her.  Also, when a woman loves her husband, she should love him more than any other woman in the world loves him.  This is the ethics of love which a husband and wife should follow in order to realize a true family.

True parents live and die for the sake of their children. This is because love is established there in the family.

Likewise a couple that lives in true love appear only when they live for each other's sake and become one in love.  This is an ideal married couple.

A bride and bridegroom should become one through God's original love, not through money, lust, political power or honor.  

In secular relationships, we see that the wife receives energy from her husband when he makes a lot of money.

She receives energy when she sees the success and the money he has made.  He, thus, receives energy when he sees her receiving energy.

Then what happens when the money stops flowing in abundance?

Such a couple becomes anxious and their relationship begins to break down.  Haven't you witnessed this yourself?

A true married couple should become one in love based on God.

Such a couple should gradually progress in their love.  Through the wife loving her husband and the husband loving his wife, a couple should create a family that loves God.  

People should love their spouse as God's representative. 

If a couple loves each other based on just their human viewpoint, then when they see all of their faults and shortcomings, they will not be able to fully accept it and love as God does.

They might soon seek a divorce.

Today's society, husband and wives have separate bank accounts and keep tabs of how much money they give their husbands.

This is quite a strange couple, isn't it?  They distinguish their own money and their husband's money.  They also claim crisp bills as their own and the wrinkled bills as the man's, this does not look like love.

Wives should be willing to open up their purse and use the money for good purposes.  They should put their money to good use and use more.  This is how it should be.

But a wife that gets angry and spouts that her husband has spent more money than she has, she is in error.

You are happy when you are able to give without limit.  When you are able to give and take at any time you please, whether it is in a deep place, low place or whether it is night or day, you will be happy.

Hence, you will be miserable if you are unable to give even if you want to give, and unable to receive even if you want to receive.
