How to Breakthrough Hell

Have you ever wondered how the first human beings were created?

If God used clay, such as the biblical account in Genesis, what kind was it?   From which point did our first ancestor begin?  Did we truly evolve from monkeys?

Of course, they were not created as adults.

If we do not have some kind of notion of a Creator such as a pregnant mother who subsequently gave birth to, nourished and nurtured a baby, we cannot logically explain the formation of all existence.

We are just left with a theory that we sprung from monkeys, just because it is one animal that has similar habits and body parts as humans.

Infancy and the three orderly stages of the growing period

It is logical to say that Adam and Eve passed through their infancy before they entered the growth and completion stages. This is heavenly law.  What was the time period of infancy like?

We begin from the concept that God nurtured a baby who began in the spirit world, the world without  form, and passed through the course into the physical realm.

Without a concept of an original being who created all of creation, the concept of how humans came to be cannot be logically explained.

Our life path

We live in a "every man for himself" society, nation and world.  We live far from God's original ideal which He had way before Adam and Eve came into being.

What kind of God would He be if this world we live in was the world He intended from the start?

Our days are not victorious if we do not have more drive and determination for the results in our everyday lives.

Because of constant struggles within our circumstances, we all acutely lack the confidence to complete the day's work as we planned in the early morning.

Such days turn into months and then into years.  Our environments also are lacking in encouraging us to meet our monthly goals.

We need to go beyond in order to breakthrough the details and complexities of that month.  Without them, we cannot conclude our month with success.

One has to have a fighting spirit or a driving force to have a successful year, then we can celebrate.  The years add up as we continue in that vein until it eventually becomes our life pattern of being defeated by daily circumstances.

Have you ever wondered if this is the way it is supposed to be?

Is this what God placed all of His efforts into creating man for was to struggle and fight through each day constantly trying to reach one's goals put in place.

Individuals, families, tribes, people, nations and world all move within the realm of time; throughout history no one can escape the constraints of time.

Wherever people exist, there is always some goal to attain. 

Unless we are determined to maintain such a goal for ten, twenty, seventy years - our entire lives, the goal will be unattainable.

The greater the goal, the stronger our internal commitment and determination needs to be.

The original homeland that we must seek

You may not know of the reality of the spirit world, but I enjoy the special benefit from God of having a clear insight into that unknown world. Digging into the root of that world, I found its principles to be quite simple. 

Contrary to popular Christian belief of only needing to know Christ as God's son, in reality, only those who were able to live by God's universal principles, can enter the higher realms in the spirit world.

That world would be the ideal heavenly kingdom; the original homeland that humankind must seek.

Even though we were exiled out of our homeland and live a fallen, sinful life, we are all destined to return to that homeland.

This does not come by automatically.

Throughout history, God had to create a path for a course for His children to return to Him because we could not do so by our own efforts.

This is the reason why God raised many different religions all over the world.  These teachings are a training ground where He has been directing all the people along this path, whether through race, cultural background, customs and traditions.

Religion was created as a training ground to make people eligible to return to their original homeland.

God took in account all the different backgrounds around the four corners of the earth and led humanity toward an unified religion that will progress up toward a higher ground.

What does religion culturally teach?

It teaches people of faith to live for the sake of others.

A religion that is developed tends to emphasis this principle: to be gentle, meek, elevate others, serve them sacrificially and live for them.

This serves to discipline us to abide by these same rules observed in the Kingdom of heaven.

Our highest path in life

What should be our life path?

It is a path where we possess God's love.  This is life's highest and final destination.

Every person, men and women alike, must go this way.

Our path in life should lead us to the eternal love of God.  

The greatest path consists of finding God's love through crossing over the peaks of death tens and even hundreds of times, while continuing in that search even after death.

Where is the end point of our desires? Possession of God's love.

We need to possess only God's love, then it would be all right even if He were not present.  If we posses a love that is more precious than our own, God cannot be ours.

When His love becomes mine and mine becomes His, then the internal and external unite for the first time.

If a nation is based on such love as this, then it will become the ideal homeland without observing an upper or lower class of society.

When we can live in that place of love, we feel there is nothing under the sun that does not appear good or that exists for our sake.

Since God's love has this quality, the heavenly world which is all of mankind's destination, is filled with true love.

The wrong standard of birth

People today take glory in their degrees, and their family lineage as marks of social distinction from the rest of society unaware that they were born with the love, life and lineage of Satan, who is God's enemy.

This arrogance is a serious problem.

We should be aware that we still carry the bloodline connected directly to the characteristics of Satan - not God's original blood.  Jesus was the first to obtain that standard.

Due to the Fall, people have been born from Satan's love which was passed down from their parents. 

This sinful blood has made its way down through the lives of our mothers fathers to us in the present day.  The fruit of Satan, Eve and Adam's fall is you and me.  You belong to the satanic lineage.

You can probably feel that Satan's love is flowing through your veins.

Therefore, after stealing God's position, Satan bears his fallen fruit automatically while God strives since the Fall to redeem those very men and women and transform them into originally pure, perfect people.

You all began from Satan's love and are born from his lineage.

Since we have a wrong start from birth, you must return to the original point, the root of goodness.

Since we originated from false parents, we should return and start anew from true parents.

It is imperative to inherit God's love, life and His lineage.

This is why you undergo the ceremony for changing the blood lineage here from Satan's to engraft to God's pure lineage.

This was long hoped for by Jesus who was not able to become a true parent due to no one believing he was the chosen one to restore the world to Heaven on Earth.

The changing of blood lineage is not the same ordinary ritual, it is like an antidote to restore the dead back to life.  

Our ancestor's error was so grave that countless people fell victim to the after effects throughout the course of human history.

Knowing this, we cannot tread that same path away from God again.

Ever.

We had to pay a horrible price throughout history for this fallen illicit love which brought about the fallen spiritual and physical world.  This had far-reaching consequences for individuals, families, societies, nations and world.

The standard of life

When I say life here, I mean eternal life. I am not referring only to the spirit world, but to a life to live for eternity. Each individual was created to be an object of God's love. You are the object partner of the absolute God, and the partner in His love. 


God cherishes the notion of true love more than He values Himself.

He is the absolute and eternal center of life.  His ideal is more eternal and the center of that ideal is true love.

The partner of that love is you.

The attributes of love promotes unity between partners. 

This love has the power to unite a nation.

Therefore, through love, a partner can accompany the other in any position and follow unconditionally.  Through love, you inherit God's entire fortune and even His entire heart.


I went through a miserable course to discover this and now stand on that foundation. It is sublime and lofty and cannot be exchanged for anything: it is an amazing grace. For that reason, I stand in the same position with God. I share the eternal position of true love. 



The spirit world is in a different dimension from the earthly world where we reside.

We are limited in movement withing the constraints of earthly laws, but the spirit world is a higher dimension where you can do anything, anytime and anywhere there.

God created us originally as eternal beings.

We can think of earth as a classroom on how to love and breathe the air of love in the next world.

If we are able to become beings of true love while on earth and then we go to the spirit world, we will enjoy freedom there.

The first standard of life is the standard of good and evil.  The second is the original starting point. The third standard is eternal life.

We Are Brothers, Sisters Without Parents

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

People had no way to truly and eternally unite.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everyone needs True Parents no matter what position they hold.

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

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

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

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

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

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

What kind of people are the True Parents?

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

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

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

Therefore, the content is very different.

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

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

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

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

True Parents give birth to humankind through true love

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why do we need True Parents?

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

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

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

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

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

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

What do we all desire?

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

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

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

Once false love disappears, infidelity, divorce will disappear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You should first long for the Parents.

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

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

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

Why do you need spiritual parents?

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

What do false parents teach?

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

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

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

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

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

True Parents teach you the true way of God.

Why God Can't Punish Satan

There is a theological debate whether Satan existed from the very outset.  This has caused a big problem.

If Satan had always existed and was part of God's plan for creation, his existence defies and hinders God's providence of restoring the world of peace for thousands of years.

Who is the one to subjugate and eliminate him?

This is the true issue.  Christianity upholds that Jesus liquidates all the sins of the past and the future that was to come, but even Jesus lost his physical body to Satan even though he was able to resurrect and bring a foundation for spiritual salvation.

Yet, every human being since has still been born with the original sin in his blood lineage.  Who will be able to finally accuse the one who brought sin to earth?

If Satan was not part of the creation of a perfect being, then where did he come from?

Satan caused our original ancestors to fall away from the true purpose of God which was to develop heaven on earth from the outset.

If Satan was part of the creation, then there is no way to get rid of him and have complete salvation.  This would create dualism forever.  People thus conclude that a world with two opposing purposes would continue forever.  Fortunately, this is not the case.

The reasons for Satan's accusations

The original will for the ideal world of creation was never fulfilled due to the Fall. However, since God has absolute authority, even though the whole world might change, He can never change.

Even though the devil took Adam, Eve and all creation away from God, the Absolute Being must subjugate Satan, who was originally an archangel, naturally rather than by force. 

Although God exists, it is as if He does not when we witness the chaos in the world. He has to re-establish His absolute authority. God cannot strike first. The good God cannot strike the evil Satan. 

Why is it God is tied from taking out Satan in one stroke?

Because if He was to do so, that act would end up also extinguishing Adam, Eve and the creation who are linked to him.  Through Adam and Eve obeying Satan's will instead of God's, they became connected to Satan in blood ties.

Thus, destroying Satan also destroys the ideal sphere of love.  That would be against God's own principle.

This is why God is prevented from doing so.

As absolute Lord, He must absolutely fulfill His will and do as He says would do.  Despite Satan's arrogance, attacks and tenacious persecution, still the Lord endured throughout history in order to recover His established principles.

Nobody has known of this almighty God.

If God cannot destroy Satan, why did He allow Satan to infringe upon human beings?  Why did He let His children be sacrificed and crushed under Satan's foot?

Why doesn't He stop the suffering Satan causes humanity?

Why was God unable to exalt His full power to such an extent that humanity does not recognize His existence?

This is a serious question.  The truth is, because humanity did not follow Him, He had no people, no nation, no world which to govern freely.

Therefore, no one has qualified to officially be recognized by Him as a true individual, family nation or world.

If such an individual, family nation or world was established, then God would be able to directly strike the evil people, nations and world.

Before this time, because humanity suffered through following Satan's will, to work with humanity, He had to face Satan's accusations of His children and work indirectly through angels and central figures.

Only this way will lead to goodness, and only then will God have His authority.

Will you completely conquer Satan in your life?

Wasn't event he almighty King of Wisdom immobilized by Satan's accusations?

It is the same situation with the President.  If his citizens decided to march and demonstrate against his laws, can he just cut off their heads for their behavior?

Even the almighty God is unable to make this move.  Any government official found to be at fault, they would be fired in an instant.

This is why your actions should not leave any condition for Satan's accusation.
This is a matter of life and death.

How you develop that protection is extremely challenging problem in your life of faith.

Since the human race are connected to Satan's, lineage, false love and will, God cannot not be present during those circumstances.  This is the problem.

What did Satan take away from God in the beginning of human history?

Satan trampled on God's pure love and crushed God's true life, love and lineage.  We should always be aware of these facts and protect ourselves.

Satan was created originally as an archangel without any trace of the fall.

Satan goes to God and accuses Him, "You are the almighty, omnipotent, all-powerful God, even you have to solve all the problems according to the principles you set up even though I became evil.   Even though I became Satan and brought about the Fall, You must abide by the rules and principles which You set up.  Isn't this true?'

I am going to explain why we cannot proceed on our way without loving our enemy. 

It is very important for you to know this truth,

Although the archangel fell and accuses God, God must still observe the principles He has established because He is the absolute God.

No matter how the archangel behaves, God is compelled to rule over His creation according to His rules and principles He laid down.

Therefore, God is obliged to act in the same manner to the archangel before and after the Fall.  This is why Satan taunts God and tells Him, "You are supposed to love me until I'm perfected and beyond."

Adam was supposed to originally, command three archangels.  In turn, they were to obey and love him absolutely.

As long as the heavenly law demands absolute obedience and submission, Satan is not able to do as he pleases with the laws and principles.

Even though he does not absolutely obey and submit to God, he knows that eventually he has to follow the same principle

If Satan violates the principle and God's law, then He can remove him.

It would be the same as the president exercising his authority through the constitutional law.  If it is not in the constitution, the president is not able to act as he wishes.

The author of the Divine Principle, the Completed Testament, dealt with such serious issues such as the existence of God and why He did not eliminate Satan as soon as he fell.

In the book of Job, you may ask why God was so powerless.

I had to understand all this. How serious I was to do so! I have placed myself on the gallows and struggled for these truths at the risk of my life. We have to retrieve our original life. 

If you are not familiar with the Book of Job, Satan accused God that Job was a faithful servant because He gave him everything.

Satan challenged God that if He took everything away from Job and made him suffer that he would curse God in return.

God gave Satan everything he asked for and told him he could take Job's life.  Why would the almighty God respond to Satan?

God cannot respond with the same behavior as Satan because God is the essence of love for others.

God is the essence of truth. 

God does not try to subjugate Satan with His mysterious, creative power.  God makes Satan yield voluntarily to His will.

Satan has used promiscuous sex, selfishness and so on and brought ruin in the world in order to prevent the world from returning to God.

How many people indulge in incest in America?

A father left alone with his daughters will molest and sleep with his daughters.  Because of the degradation of morals, the father's brother sleeps with the mother or a son sleeps with his mother.

American's lifestyle is closer to that of the animals.  Therefore, Satan laughs at God and says, "How do you even think about having an ideal world or world of love under these circumstances?"

God abides by the law

What kind of being can you say God is?

God is like the mind of the universe; the universe is like His body. 

However, the devil has plagued this body.

Satan has stolen the powers of the heavens and thus also controls the universe.  What does God need to do in order to digest this problem?  God is unable to strike Satan with force.

The essential quality in the process of creating the universe was love.  Thus, God maintains that principle, even if there are those that violate it.

Therefore, God unceasingly maintains His original standard He set up for creating, for the sake of restoring the fallen universe back to its original purpose of love.

Thus, fulfilling the ideal of true love.  If He is unable to accomplish this, then He cannot regain His authority as the Absolute Being.

This point has been so frustrating for God.

The Fall established a wrongful bond of love centered on Satan who took the position of parents.  Much interpretations have been said about the fruit of good and evil.

The descendants of Adam and Eve have carried on Satan's love through blood ties.  Satan's life, false love and blood lineage has passed on through our ancestors unceasingly.  The only relationship of love that can pass sin through the blood line is a sexual relationship.

Thus, as long as the root of the fall, false love, is not rooted out, it remains.  

Satan is the enemy of love. 

Satan fractured God's dream for an ideal world of love.

The servant forcibly took away the King's daughter and violated her.  Thus, she lost her position as the Lord's daughter.

Thus she had to be driven out of the King's establishment.  This wrongful act was an derailment from the original track of the great principle of heaven and earth.  This fact cannot be denied.

God cannot achieve the original ideal of an ideal world, unless He is able to love the children of evil just as much or even more than His own children.

Satan asserts, "I have fallen and become who I am.  My lineage even revolts against you,. Yet, don't You God have to uphold the way of the heavenly law?"  This is where God is caught.

Satan accuses God further saying, Since You are the substance of truth, love and principles, You cannot change for any reason, although I am fallen, don't you have to practice Your own principles which You established?

"Therefore, as a Being of principle, You cannot bring your children to the original world without loving the fallen angel.  The plans you placed for the archangels before the Fall do not allow Your children to enter the heavenly kingdom unless they and You Yourself love me. Although I fell and caused many calamities, You should love me or else You cannot be the true God and Your son and daughter cannot be true children without loving me."

Existing Doctrines of God Contradictory

Throughout the history of religion, there have been many question that have been raised such as does God exists and many questions about the doctrines each religion upholds.

These teachings have brought much division, and wars between the people of faith and sometimes within the same faith separating into several different denominations.  How did we come to such a position?

We commonly say that God is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent who possesses the utmost goodness and beauty.

He is said to be a being of love, the Lord of judgment and the Father of humankind.  Yet, how do we make sure that this description is correct.  Why did God create the universe?  God could have lived by Himself for life.

God is absolute goodness, so where did the phenomenon of the law of the jungle appear in this world He created?

We know that the Fall has led to the world of sin, but why did beings created by a perfect God develop so many problems?

God has many problems which humanity has caused since the beginning.  Many ask that if God exists, why did an all-knowing and all-powerful being allow Jesus to be nailed to the cross?

If Jesus did not go to the cross would it have been possible for salvation?

If God is almighty, yet He is still unable to save perfect Jesus from dying on the cross, is such a God a cruel God we should chase away?

How could we believe and trust in such a God who seems to not be able to save humanity, who are also His children, from their misery?

There has been no one before who sought to dig at the root of the cause of God's grief after the Fall.

The relationship between God and human beings has become impotent. Although theologians and spiritual mediums know about Satan's existence, they have not been able to understand why the almighty God could not prevent Satan from opposing Him and stealing His position.  

This same problem is mimicked in the spirit world.  Whenever you try to go to God's side, Satan surely interferes.  Satan opposes us from many directions, not just one.

Why is God unable to intervene and punish the devil who perpetrated cause of sin?

This has been a riddle to humanity until now that it has been revealed.

God has been leading humankind throughout the tens of thousands of years of history toward a better world, but why have we not established a world where goodness is realized?

Instead, humanity has ended up heading toward a world of despair and hopelessness?

This problem has never been truly or satisfactorily been answered. It is the leading reason people conclude that a good God does not exist.

If a God or Creator did not exist, would it be possible for humankind to have the possibility to dream of the ideals we long for which is the peaceful world and Utopia we seek for the future?

In the past, thinking people and philosophers have failed in their pursuit of such a world.  Their answers and efforts have left the world in its present state.

When we look at the history of struggle and wars to bring about a better world, how do we assume that such a world of hope can come about in the future?

Why would the all-knowing God leave Satan alone to do as he pleases humanity?  God could just execute him one night, but He leaves him be.  Why?

This is the most difficult question which religion failed to answer in the past.  Is it a simple matter?

Many people visualize God as a God of glory sitting on His throne everyday.  This concept is why we believe that God does not have anything to do with suffering or sorrow or any kind of emotions.

If Christians were asked what kind of being God was, they would say that He was our Father.  They would further say that those who call Him Father should repent and live a life of faith in this sinful world.

God and man are constantly said to relate as parent and child, yet they are said to be in contradiction of each other.

Christianity pronounces that God is all-knowing, omnipotent, the Judge who sits on His throne as the righteous Lord of judgment who judges all people.

Do any of you like judges?

Judges sometimes pass death sentences, but their verdicts cannot be absolutely right.  There are many different ways and angles to see a situation, yet a judge measures whether someone lives or dies.  

If a judge serves for ten years, he will get sick and die; if he does not die, he will at least become seriously ill. Human judgment of universal law often misses the true mark.  For this reason, a righteous person would get sick after being judge for ten years.

We should ask God about this.

Christians also say that he sends bad people to hell and good people to heaven, but if God were joyful to see this, then He would be a crazy God.

God dwells in the place of absolute goodness, which transcends good and evil. 

Would it be interesting to have such a God that sits on His throne all day like pastors say?

Try sitting for three days straight doing nothing.

So, what is it God could be doing?

According to Christianity, God is sitting on a throne of glory while humanity suffers on earth.  If God is alone, then what kind of glory is that?

Do we truly believe that God sits in one spot for eternity, singing, "Oh, I have so much power, omniscience.  I'm so mysterious and..." Really?  What use is that kind of power?

God, too has always been living centering on love.  This logic is undeniable.

Why is it that God is unable to do as He pleases when He holds such power?  It is because He is constrained by circumstances.

Is World Peace Possible?

Everyone has the hope and dream that one day the world will experience peace and the days of war and conflict will be long gone.

Is World Peace possible?

Did God create the world with the idea of unity?

If the earth was not derived from a unified source, then it will never be possible to be unified.  The good news is if it was created from a unified source, then all individuals, families, tribes and nations will be able to be unified.

We find that this world is not unified, that nations are not unified, and tribes and families are not unified. And even this world is divided into two worlds. Even within each nation, there are different polarities, families experience division among members, and the individual mind and body are divided within.

We cannot deny this division.

If this world began from a perfect entity, then why is the world divided?

It is most important to investigate the cause of the division throughout the world on the individual, family, national and world levels.

If God is an absolute god then why does such a divide exist?

We have to conclude that God is not the source of such division in the world.  Then what is the cause?  We must know that the cause of evil was not derived from a good source, then it must be evil.


The Mission of Religion

The mission of religion is to destroy all of the problems caused by evil to bring about a unified world.  The most important thing is to find the root of the cause of these conflicts.

By finding the evil cause in ourselves we can solve all the problems.

The most important thing is to find one person whose mind and body is not struggling with each other and is fully centered and become one with God. Their every action in unity with God.  Have you known anyone who has completely made his mind and body one with his every action centered on God?

If that thought makes you laugh, then this means that no one has been able to attain this state of being beside the Messiah.

Then the most important thing is to find the self which is not divided and does not struggle with evil.  If God exists, we must know that He will show us the way to restore us to our original godly state.  This is the purpose of religious discipline.

A person who is determined to follow God's will, will be taught strong lessons on how to become an ideal individual.

God is on the search for individuals who cannot be destroyed by anyone or anything in this world, no matter how difficult the situation is.  God's champion cannot be beat by anything and can be eternally unified with God.  Throughout the course of history, God seeks such a man.

God's providence was designed to take out such a man among the evil society.  Even though God searches for such a high-quality person, man lives among his family, he lives in the material world and in his nation.

In order for God to restore His nation, His family, His individuals and the material world, He does not in the literal sense take these things back.

Even though God is Almighty, He needs a condition if He is to take things back from the evil environment.  Evil that possess what God wants to restore will try to retain all of these things, therefore, the ways of good and evil must not be equal; they must be different.

If evil goes this way, then God must go the other way.  

If one goes to the right, then the other must go to the left.  All people wish for a unified world of peace, but this is not obtained simply.

Evil wants to go ahead and good wants to go backward.  You as one walking on the path of God's will stands in the central position in the struggle between good and evil.

Which do you think is most serious: the fall of a nation or the fall of one individual.  For man, the worst would be for him to perish.  We all have a slight tendency to not sacrifice ourselves for other people.

We all have the mind to center everything on ourselves and not God.

If we continue this way, then world peace will never be realized.  We must first surpass the obstacles in our mind which try to stand in our way of the path toward God in order to reach the world which our mind wants and desires.



How Will World Peace Happen?

Will we be able to bring about a world of peace through fighting other nations?  Is this the true way to a peaceful happy world?  A peaceful world will not come about through the control of others.

Since God knows this, He goes the opposite way of evil.  God is the first to lead the path toward world peace.  If we go this way, the leader is God, if we go the other way, the leader is Satan.  If God was to go in the same direction, He would destroy all the people who are one with Satan.  Since God wants to save every last child, He goes backwards.
This explains the mysterious ways God asks His prophet to set a condition for Him.  For instance, Noah was asked to place a boat on a mountain away from the ocean.  What seems to not make since outside His providence is a way for God to get only the most faithful to follow His path.

Evil does not come from other-centered motives, it comes from self interest. 

There are two kinds of people.

Evil also wants to make the world one, but through beating other people.  God does not and goes the opposite way.  Evil let man fall and made man deny that God existed.  Adam and Eve thus brought about destruction through uniting with Satan.

The fall began when Satan left the path of the servant and planned everything for his own self.  This initiated evil desire far from God's will.  So through the history of fallen man, he has tried to sacrifice others for its own interest.

When you look at the history of nations and wars, you will see that there has always been a struggle between  where the stronger always sacrifices the weaker. This struggle spread from the individual, family, to the nation and in these Last Days to the world.

Now history is at the stage when the two, worlds, which tried to overcome by sacrificing the other are tired.

The Democratic and Communist worlds want to dominate the world, but both have given up.

These two worlds cannot unify the world.  All people of every nation want to enjoy a peaceful, happy world, but there has not been a way to bring an ideal world.

There are two ways to surpass the obstacles of the past:  jump or go around it.  If a nation places its own interest first, then it cannot jump over the obstacle.  

We can achieve the ideal world with the thought that for the interest of the, whole world, we are willing to sacrifice our own nation.

The Communist world centered around its nation and struggle against the Democratic world could not fulfill her role because she, too, thought of her own interests more than those of other nations.

God blessed America to share its blessing, but instead, it turned toward the nation's own self-interest.

During the Cold War, if Russia had supported the world then Russia and the Communist world would be united.  On the same token, if the U.S. sacrificed herself to share the prosperity of the Democratic world, then she would not have declined.

Just taking a look through history, we see that unless we find those who want to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the whole world, then the ideal world will never be reached.  Is there such a nation in the world willing to sacrifice itself for the world?

Instead, the Democratic and Communist worlds are willing to throw away the whole world just to save and uplift themselves.

When we find such a nation that is willing to sacrifice her country and her people for the establishment of the ideal world, there is hope that we will see the glory of one ideal world.

A sacrificial nation does not exist for her own benefit, but for the interests of the whole world.

God went a different course from these worlds.  God's number priority is to find someone who is completely one with Him and cannot be broken away from Him.  He must go to the position where he can unify the world.  God has been teaching the religious people two teachings: to love God and to sacrifice oneself for the world.

The one who can unify the world must sacrifice himself for the whole world.  Since man is in the evil position due to the fall, he cannot go straight to God, therefore, he must turn around and go back toward the original direction.

The opposite direction from the evil world which religion teaches is to leave the fallen world, his family his material wealth and even his fallen self.  This is how to love God and return to the original position which He seeks.

When man really loves God, then He must love him.  Then as man receives the love of God, he must sacrifice himself for the world.  This is the most important; this is the core of God's providence.

This post was rewritten and derived from the speech  How Will the Unified World Be Unified on Earth?

March Forth, Heavenly Soldiers!!

The Bible warns to be careful in every moment because the devil is couching at the door waiting for you to make a misstep and let him in to destroy your life.

Where is the boundary of Satan?  We must be able to reanimate the people of this nation.  In this way, we please God who is longing for his children who are lost.  Our point of victory must be there.

This is similar to a rope in tug-a-war with you pulling the rope on this end and whoever is on the other side will be dragged toward the winning side.  On one end, there are the presidents of major companies and famous political figures and behind them are thousands of people connected to them. You can wind the winch and those on the other side will be pulled toward you.

If you can win and pull a college dean or university president to your side, behind them will be even more top-level people pulled along.  You must think as the Bible states that you are fisher of men that have cast anchors and hooks to grab hold of men and pull them toward heaven.

The most important thing in this struggle is to stay strong and never waver. This is where the boundary point of victory lies.  It is right here in front of us.  There are many who are so weak that they can be easily persuaded and compromise their value by the opposition.

When you are active, you seem to be strong, but at times you are defeated. 

We all have hooks that the opposition knows about and pulls them in order to pull you in the wrong direction.  Our innermost self compares our situation to those of our friends.  If we are running forward on a mission and see one of our old friends and see that they are dressed nicely and have great success in a worldly way, we will in that moment lose courage to go forward as we look at our humble dress and lifestyle.

When you work hard at your mission witnessing in the streets or fundraising and doing many activities many people will say that it is no different from being a beggar.  But Heaven knows.  Before this work, you didn't dream about doing such things.

Wait until ten years later, and we will be far excelling those people. If we endure for ten more years, we will soar up and be conspicuous in the human scene, while other people will decline and be corrupted.

The fruit of the labor will be evident in the future.

In other words, even though it looks like working hard for God's providence may seem like you are defeated, but you will win the game.  Along the way you may be screamed at, called many vile names and even be spit in the face, but you must endure. You must have the resolve in those moments that you will have success in 10 years and if not 10 years you will see success in 20 years. You can scream this out in your mind when you face such difficulty.

"I took every rebuff as a challenge and because of the opposition coming from those people I had more courage to fight against them and win over them. I would sometimes feel like retreating, but because of the enemy, because of the opposition, I could never retire. More than anything else, the vow I took before God is always with me. When I took my oath before God, He was confident I could do the job. I took the vow when I was at the zenith of my zeal and enthusiasm."

Reverend Sun Myung Moon


Even though you know that God is there helping you out, you must be confident to think that without God's help you are going to carry out the mission.  When you encounter hunger, think of a situation where you could be more hungry and then you can endure the hunger and continue on the path.  When faced with these situations, you can look at those who are in a more poor condition than your own.

In face of any difficulties, you must be able to say, "Come what may, I can have my courage doubled and tripled in face of more difficulties. "

When your dignity is offended you must imagine a time when you were more offended and degraded.  If you can realize a purpose in five years time where it took others 10 years, then you are determined to endure the double efforts.  If you want to shorten the time period first imagined, then you must triple, and quadruple the effort to compensate for that time.  You should be ready to do twice as many obstacles and encounter twice as tough situations if you are going to shorten the time.

Youth is a dynamic power. 

If your friends, relatives, neighbors, and nation oppose you and are against you, you can cut them all off and do the divine job and fight.

Set the goal that you can be triumphant to the point where God cannot not follow the difficult path.  At every moment of our lives, the question where do you put that goal?

For instance, if you have to do your work at a certain time, but you determined to get up two hours early and you arrive an hour early, some would feel that while waiting they will doze off. If those people are situated where they have to fight through a fierce battle without sleep, it would mean defeat for them. This is the point that will determine your success or failure.

Victory means that you have more power over other people.

Every moment of our lives, where there's any event, you will determine for yourself whether you are going to be victorious or defeated.

Whenever there's a new event in your nation, you must be resolved to participate in it and win over other people, to be patient, and to be confident. You must throw away the old way of thinking: "Well, God is there, and if I pray hard, He will help me. "

God does not work in this way and it will not happen.  You must make the effort to do your utmost best.  When you work hard toward the goal, for the part that you cannot carry out, you can pray before God and then He will help you.

This is the way to pray before God when there is a difficult task.  Resolve to accomplish the goal even if you might not be able to get adequate sleep.  If you were to start getting sick, you can say that this was happening because you wished it, then the disease would be fearful of such a person and back away.

When  you endure many sleepless nights, your brain may become brighter and brighter.  Have the insight to pierce through the future and determine with your utmost as this is what most people do not do.

From this viewpoint, can you really be resolved to take responsibility for this nation? You must beat against the nation, until the nation resounds and echoes to the call. Stir up the nation so that you rouse the Christians. We are not talking about shooting your enemies with pistols.

Shoot the hearts of the people with love.

The question is, where is the boundary point of our victory?

If you are as confident as that, and if a man of that confidence and a woman of that confidence were to be marry, they would find perfect balance in their marriage.   When you are blessed in holy matrimony you shouldn't think that your happiness as a family will be everything.

It is the woman's way of life to feel happy deep in her heart after actually making her husband happy first.

Your job is to make your spouse happier than you, without his or her being conscious of it.
 

After thinking of the husband's happiness first, then the wife can express her happiness.  There was a married couple where the woman expressed her happiness everywhere and would even scream she was so happy.  After awhile the husband grew to dislike her.

It is natural for a married woman to want to be well dressed and have the best jewelry because she is married, but before doing that, you should want your spouse to glitter and shine.  This is the way a couple helps one another in a partnership.

Divine Principle ideology profess that when you are made a couple, you are one, and with the magnetic power of love created between the two, they can attract other families and end their disunity.  This is the way to win more and more families to God's side.

The ideal couple will have such influence more not when they are living the luxurious life, wearing glittery clothing, eating the best foods or driving the best cars.  The ideal couple that lives in poor conditions that experiences misery and many difficulties yet they still shine, other families will know that you have an ideal family life.

Your exemplary family should be like a lighthouse for those in the corrupted world where families are disunited.  Your family must become the norm for corrupted families. Your family should become the norm for the secular family.

You must never complain about your spouse, saying, "Oh, she's an Oriental girl, she's shorter, she's not beautiful, she's not smart," because God chose her. However ugly he or she may be, whatever defects he or she may have, in God's eyes he or she has a certain place.

When one lives this type of life working hard for the mission moving from place to place, they will see that there are not too many places that are tidy and clean.  By living in such ugly and dirty places, it is to one's advantage and practical  to have an ugly spouse rather than a glamorous, tidy girl who might not like the place.

If there is disunity in the family, everything will be shattered into pieces and there is no way to influence other people.  There is a saying "How can one rule the nation if they cannot keep their own household in order?".

Next comes the church as a whole. The Unification Church is a unified family with couples of various types and nationalities.  If one thinks that it is easy to unite all the various couples, they are deceiving themselves.

You deal with different faces and different backgrounds.  There is Oriental, Occidental, black, white and yellow where there are vast differences not only in culture but ideals.  So, what is the secret to handle this group?  Money, power?  Is this an everlasting way to unity?  Then what?

It is the power of True Love.

Womens' Tragic Life

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.  My optimism, then does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.

Helen Keller





When we look at the situation of women throughout history, we can see how tragic and victimized life has been.  At least 95% of criminal assaults have been committed by men against women. Women's heart has always some regret and resentment. 

Many women ask why this inequality still prevails. That is a big question. If God is a good God, why has He not solved this problem? Maybe it is because God is not able to resolve the problem or if He is able to resolve it when will He do it? Or maybe there is no God at all? We must understand the answer to all these questions clearly.

There is no man or woman who is perfect thus they can't come under the direct dominion of God. Because of the Fall of Man there is not perfection and God cannot interfere with man directly without the aid of a mediator. Satan totally destroyed man's value.

Women are born for men and vice versa. Why is it that way? It is for the purpose and fulfillment of love! There can be no perfection centered on the self. The Fall took place because of Adam's and Eve's self centered action. They did it for self gratification. This is 180 degrees opposite from God's ideal.

We read in the Bible that humans fell away from God by eating an actual fruit.  This was written in symbolic form and does not show the consequences of the Fall of Man.  Adam and Eve hid their lower parts when God asked of them because the Fall was the act of defiling the sexual organs.  In these Last Days, free sex and swapping partners is the norm.  The whole universe will collapse if we continue this way.

God lives for the sake of other's and satan is 180 degrees opposite living only to please one self. God gives and creates by giving totally. Self centered love will take you into hell.

 

"Salvation = Restoration = Recreation. We must totally indemnify the past. The Old Testament is an age of equal indemnity. With such a law, restoration is not possible."

Three things need to be restored: 1. Environment 2. Objects 3 Reciprocal Relationships between Subject and Object.


Only One Way

Dr. Reverend Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church and author of the Divine Principle, explains more to his congregation:

"Everything exists in Subject and Object relationships. When you enter the Unification Church this will come into effect immediately. Father is the subject and you are the object. There is only one way.

The Unification Church is the training ground for True Love. The family is in the center position of this training. All five colors of the races of the world are present here. Everyone is organized in subject and object relationships. We always look for a greater subject.

We are also structured into two layers, Subject and Object and Mind and Body, vertical and horizontal. The vertical and the horizontal must meet at a 90 degree angle. True Love travels the shortest line. The True Love lines always meet at a 90 degree angle. Perverted love lines never meet at that angle.

Your conscience is born out of your vertical parents while your body is born out of your horizontal parents. With this scale you can evaluate the whole world.

Your facial features and your body reflect the horizontal and vertical. When you see someone's face off balance (eyes, nose, mouth) it is a reflection of the internal state.

Your sex organs are on the vertical line. Man represents the vertical. Life originates in man. No matter how great you women are, you do not have the seed of life to bring forth children.


Digest And Convert

Can you answer me this question?

Does God have to live under the law of true Love?

(Dr. Grant in the audience blushing a bit answered that God was the origin and essence of love.)

Father told him that he was half right and proceeded to answer the question. Even God comes under the law of True Love. When God created man and woman He wanted them to relate to Him in True Love. Thus God has to live under the same law.

When a father asks his children to live according to a certain law the children will ask him "what about you father, will you live by that law also?" He will answer "of course I will live by the same law!" If he does not, his children will also not live by the law.


Unification Is Everything

Without unity and hope, joy and freedom cannot come. Unification is everything that is why we are the Unification Church. Everything is harmonious and has balance in the Universe. True Love is most important. True Love incredibly focuses your senses. You become totally blind to other things. This is especially true when teenagers date.

Those who do not need love raise your hands. You live for love don't you? Men and women hold each other's sex organ. This is a tradition passed down from generation to generation. When you get married you do not marry a face but the love organ. If someone does not have this organ you put him into the trash.

The Love Palace is very powerful. It is also the Life and Blood lineage Palace. When God has total control over these three palaces the world will be in Heaven. The three Palaces are the most precious but satan made them the most low.


Ministers Don't Know Basics

Through the Fall we became victims of satanic love which is the enemy of God. Christian ministers teach every Sunday but they do not know the basics.

Did Adam and Eve have children after they were kicked out to the Garden of Eden? (Question directed to the ministers) YES! How long after? Almost immediately! Did God bless them? NO! satan did! Adam and Eve were kicked into the realm of satanic love, life and lineage.

This was not God's plan but His ideal still remains and we must restore it. Mother Eve took two children into the satanic world and God will have to claim them back.

Worse than WW I and WW II is WW III. This is the battle between God and satan for the mind of man. This mind battle can not be won unless the world unites with Rev. Moon.

God is going through a growth process together and in relationship with man. God the "Love Subject" needs an object, man, to fulfill His ideal.

If you are not fallen you bring children of God into the world. Then there is no religious life, no prayer and no church needed. We are born for True Love. A couple is as one not two.

The will of satan is to keep all mankind under his rule in hell permanently. But God wants to take men to Heaven so that satan can not take them. Heaven and hell are 180 different from each other. How can we make these two contradictory camps into one?

The fallen world has no way to do it. It needs the Messiah. He comes with the power, authority, truth and love of God. He unites Mind and Body, the family, all levels and converts the world of false love into a world of True Love, Life and Lineage. Thus the Messiah cannot come on the clouds.


Your Body The Monster

Here is the formula for salvation:

You have in your body the environment of + and -. The mind is + and the Body is -. However, the Fall reversed this set-up. All the saints of the past have failed to point out the core of salvation. Your body is the monster, more fearful than WW II. We must resolve this problem here on earth before we die.

The Archangel must receive the love of Adam and Eve then he can go to Heaven. You are in the position of Adam and Eve. When you go to Heaven, satan will be there at the gate and ask you if you have loved him as an unfallen angel. If you have not done that, you can not go through the gate.

Profound Teaching

This is why Jesus taught to love your enemy. This is a profound teaching. No matter how great a minister you are and how many sermon's you give, unless you love the enemy you can't go to Heaven.

My enemies are America and Christianity. How am I going to win over those enemies. God's way is to get hit and win. Everybody opposed Father but I do not hate those who opposed me. It is natural for the world to go against me.


Tales Of Deception

God's ideal was destroyed by satan. Now God wants to cleanse the lineage of Adam and Eve and Lucifer. Eve deceived Adam and both went to satan's side. Eve the mother deceived God the Father and Adam his son.

Rebecca in the position of Eve also deceived father and son (Isaac and Esau). Her action restored Eve's action. Later the children Jacob and Esau united.

This whole formula was repeated with Tamar. She deceived her Father in law and his son. to have a child. She had twins and this whole process of the elder serving the younger was accomplished right in the womb by the second child being born first.

Much later Tamar's foundation was passed on to Mary the mother of Jesus. She also deceived her father (=God=Father) and her fiancee Jacob (=Adam=Son). Because of Mary's obedience Jesus could be born a sinless man.

Jesus is the true olive tree and Christians are saved by engrafting into that tree. But because of the crucifixion there was no physical salvation and thus the Second Coming became necessary.

Jesus was supposed to be married and then go to Rome. He should have converted Rome and if that had happened there would not have been a Pope, Catholicism, Protestantism and Churches etc.

Because Jesus lost His body there is no nation for the Christians in the New Testament Age. After WW II England was in the position of mother, America in the position of Abel and France in the position of Cain. If Cain and Abel had united they could have found the Messiah, True Parents.

American women must educate the children properly and bring them to Heaven. The American family must be totally united. There are eight barriers and when all are broken down anyone can come freely to God by uniting with the True Family. When that is done everything is accomplished and nothing else needs to be done. For this purpose Father has set up Tribal Messiah's everywhere."
