Become Ideal People for Liberation

It has been reported to me that there is a great deal of communist activity on college campuses. When our CARP teams stage counter demonstrations, all the communists usually retreat.

You applaud when you hear this because you are excited. CARP pushed the communists to take cover so you feel good, but you don't want to exert the discipline that would give you the power to do that.

You have to accept the discipline that will make you powerful enough to drive communism back. If with bare hands we can gather the resources to lay the foundation that can save the world, then if we have enough tools and money could we do it easily?


Reverend Sun Myung Moon


If we have already become such people, then the world has no way to compete with Father.  What we can accomplish is so above their own standards, that they cannot even imagine how to compete with us.

In the fishing industry, Father set a standard that no competitor could outdo him.  He would be able to be out on the boat fishing with his crew at 4 am and not return until almost midnight.  Sometimes they would spend 24 hours on the boat.

Once he would proclaim something, that would echo throughout the entire country and world.

"People cannot help but listen. I operate on a simple principle and I have a plan."

Don't look for the easy way out in the Unification Church.

Before you are thirty, I will push you down to the dungeon. In that hell you will have to persevere and survive. The rest of the world is looking for the easiest direction, looking for another way to have a good time, but we don't care that those things exist. By following my discipline you can all become saints by the time you are thirty. After that, go ahead and have a good time. You can even grow your hair until it reaches your toes. You can braid it into a rope and connect yourselves together and have a big parade, but only after you reach that saintly plateau.


Once you become ideal men of God, you shall enjoy true liberation.  No matter how much you enjoy this liberation, you must always be within the Principle.  This is what perfection is.

The most precious and important thing is God.

We might take God's presence for granted throughout our daily lives.  Imagine a life without God's existence, or God decided to abandon the human race?

What comes into existence first: spirit or matter?

You cannot show spirit to someone, but the communist place such importance on matter.  When you wake up in the morning, usually the first thing you think about is breakfast, correct?

Are you able to prove that the invisible world of the mind exists?

What about the eye for example?  Does the eye understand that it needed to tear in order to keep it clean and wet enough to function?  Was the eye aware that it needed to develop eyelashes to help keep the dust away?

Did the eyebrows automatically develop to keep the sweat and rain from running into the eye?

When communists, Marxists and evolutionist cry that matter came about haphazardly or automatically, then how did the hair know to come out of the forehead and not the eyes.  Even after a baby is born, it has no clue or knowledge about the atmosphere.

Would the eye know anything about itself in the mother's womb and develop on its own accord?

Of course not.

There was a designer of the eye that knew about the related environment with sunshine and dust and rain.  The point is that someone knew in advance that the eye would have to cooperate with the environment.  Therefore, the designer would also plan for hair, eyebrows, ears and so forth that would unite with the rest of creation.

What if no one was born with hair that lived in the hot tropics?

Imagine being bald on a hot fierce beaming sun day.  There was an universal mind that figured out all of these things in advance.  Since no material in creation could haphazardly bring itself about into existence, material did not come into being first. Therefore, spirit existed before there was any material world.

Why is there such a debate over this?

It is like a debate between the religious and god-denying world of communism that denies the world of spirit.

If material just came into exist by happen chance and thought came as an effect of material, then there is no set standard to live by.  If there are no standards, if gives rise to lose behavior and live however bringing about chaos.

As a person of faith, you live by the principles set by God that brings about peace.

Even the best eye doctor a hundred years from now, still would not be able to discover all the secrets and complexities of the formation of the eye.

It is completely illogical to say matter comes first.

Even though the spirit is invisible, it comes before any material comes into being.  The conclusion is that all of the beauty we observe in the universe was designed by a universal consciousness which is spirit.  From that spirit, the visible world was created.

You are an effect, not a cause, therefore, you need to know this cause.  The vertical subject.

You live in a material reality as men and women with horizontal relationships.  When you connect to the vertical power, the vertical and horizontal turn around together.  Then existence is permanent.

Mechanical principles work the same way in physics.  The motor has four poles; one pair of plus and minus is not enough.  Even the visible universe has a spirit, like the visible body has a spirit.

If there is a subject, that designed man, then does this mean that that spirit is superior to you?

That universal spirit would thus have give and take with all the things of the universe.

The center that designed all things is who we call God.  No one can deny that there is a divine knowledge, emotion and will in the universe.

If God exists in our universe what would be the most important for Him of all?  Is it true love?

Where did true love originate?

First, there must be life, for without life nothing can happen.  You must come into existence before you are able to do something.

For God, the most important thing is life.

He does not want a temporary existence but eternal.

After there is life, then we can speak about true love, which is the culminating point. Therefore, a temporal life is not enough.

Love is not a stationary subject, but is only generated out of a complimentary relationship.

Nothing can be perfect independently.

There has to be a subject and object together to make a pair that creates a circuit which generates love.  The pair system is the beauty of the universe.  

Men and women both have life, and God is the same.  Without life, nothing is able to begin.  Love cannot be activated outside of the pair system, so, in order to fulfill love, you need the pair system.  

Each individual also exists within the pair system which is called dual essentialities.  This is needed to create a circuit for give and take of love.

What if you take one of your arms and link it to your other one to make one long arm and hand.  Is this utilitarian?  This would not pass the love examination.

Even your teeth are part of the pair system.  There is an upper and lower set of teeth.  They snap at each other.

But they must behave this way within Principle.  Love is only activated within a complimentary, reciprocal circuit.  Each finger on one hand represent a season, and has three segments which the total of twelve represents twelve months.  The thumbs have two segments, so they represent duality.

You have two types of nervous systems, plus two types of blood vessels.

A baby is able to make a fist with his hands, with the thumb inside while he is still in his mother's womb.  The thumb is the number one finger representing God.

The center, or subject, should be inside. 

The messiah is the center of God's dispensation to bring about a world of peace, with members surrounding him.  All of these relationships derive from the pair system, in order to fulfill love.

Do you think that insects have a pair system, too?

What about the grass and flowers?

Everything exists in pairs and they all like love. 

There is no exception, because God's main goal is to fulfill love.

God needs eternal life and eternal love.  In order to fulfill this eternal love, God is in search for His eternal object, so He can live in an eternal pair.

Who would be God's permanent object?   Only a perfect man.

Eternal life is your goal.

Many fables speak of ways to obtain eternal life or immortality on earth through dreams of vampires and the fountain of youth.  Why is it necessary to live forever?

Because God is an eternal being that lives forever.  Therefore, He gave us eternal life to pursue eternal permanent love through the subject-object circuit system.

Therefore, we are God's objects.  Just as much as God is eternal, we shall be eternal.  As a person of faith, you can be sure you are living for eternity.

Many people just live their life everyday for the purpose of fun, but from here on out, have complete conviction that you will live forever.  Upon this foundation, our next concern will be ideals.

Does God have ideals?

If you love someone, then you want to be proud of him or her?  You want to shower him with gifts, and tell people about him.  You want to be able to demonstrate every capability and be recognized by your lover?

In the same way, when God loves someone, He also wants to show off what He has done for them.  "Look at the creation I made, look what I created."  He would say look not just at the ocean and mountains, but the small planet Earth, the stars and the galaxies.

He would want to give it all to you.  Then His child would be proud and say that God was number one.  They would embrace and become one.

What if God only created His children with nothing to show and they just sat together in the empty sky, looking at each other for eternity?  That would be no fun.

We need an ideal, something to aspire to.  God has an ideal that He wished to accomplish after created humanity.  To fulfill that ideal, we have a vast universe in which to travel.  We need to enjoy the world and ideal things.

With this clumsy body you can't even travel to one planet, yet God has created millions of planets. 

In order to travel around God's big world, you have to travel faster than the speed of light, faster than electricity.  Without this idea of speed, you are unable to travel throughout the universe.  Did you know that you have the ability to travel as fast as the thoughts that come?

We have already traveled to the moon.

That's why God can control the universe.

With love's power, He can travel even faster.  Therefore, even God needs an ideal.

We need the four seasons and the changing weather, the great beauty of the universe to praise God for.

Some people may complain about spring, and like only autumn.  Other people say they hate winter or summer.  If you want to be in the image of God, you will go through all these seasons.  You may like winter, but you have to go through spring, summer and fall.

Would God only like comedy and not a serious drama?

Does God have a sense of humor and joke with loved ones?

If God was to disappear briefly, you become sad.  This sadness is not bad, because it gives additional stimulation when your loved one returns.  Love is never boring.

Over the course of history all peoples will be treated fairly. 

History does not flow in a straight line, but in waves.

A person may have a tragic history, but will experience glory at some time.  Stronger nations may conquer smaller nations, but at another time, the smaller nations and oppressed people will conquer the great nations.


That is why I do not come from a big country. I came from the small country of Korea to bring to America the ideology which can conquer. So far in the materialistic, scientific world, America has led the way. But the small country of Korea has a new spiritual ideology that will control the world. It is only fair. History is turning around.



These events are not happening separate from the rules of the principle.

Most of the problems that are occurring today, began because American society is very wealthy.

American homes enjoy so much that they do not appreciate it.  In essence, family members are not experiencing true spiritual love between each other.  Therefore, there must be a change that comes about throughout the nation.

Our planet earth even breathes.  It also expands and contracts.

This amount of change that comes about is very small compared to the size of the planet.  Still the earth swells and shrinks.  Do you think your cells in your body also breathe?

Scientists today are trying to prove that you do not need love to create a human being through a test tube, but every cell carries life.  Would you like to live on this clumsy earth forever as many dream, or would you want to become the central element of love and live forever without any limitation?

Well, does that mean you want to go to spirit world immediately?

Even with the Concorde, it would be difficult to stay up with the speed of God with our clumsy bodies.
 Does that mean you want to go to the spirit world very quickly?

Our real, true body is our spirit body, and our real world is spirit world.  This is reality.

God who is a spirit, created the body only to help the spirit become perfected while on earth, following Him looking over the universe enjoying eternal life.

God created man in spirit and body.  This is how God designed it.

Then you may wonder why would God need to make the external world and our clumsy, fragile bodies in the first place.

God's creation is the manifestation of spirit through the visible material.  God is the ultimate spirit like the north pole, and creation is the south pole.  That's man.

In other words, man is the visible image of God.

The central line where God can look down to the other extreme is the line of love.  God dwells in the center.  There, life, love and God's ideal world are all concentrated on this line.  That is the axis which turns.

You also want to live forever.  You want to have love.

You also want to have ideals which these things you crave are concentrated on this line.  This is the universal center for everyone.  It does not matter whether you are yellow, white or black.

God will be proud of His creation when man also rejoices over it. 

When you look at grass, you know that God made each beautiful green blade for you.  When you hear birds singing, you can think, "God created them for me.  Thank you God."

If you do not have this fundamental understanding about God's creation, you will not have gratitude.  \

Once you understand that everything was created in the pair system, God is the subject looking for His true object, and all the universe is the object to man, then you know that things are created for you.

Then you will understand that the central spirit behind all of creation is love.

Who is God and what is God?

God is the one who created life as a foundation.  He is searching after perfection in love, and he has a great ideal.

You and I are God's object, so therefore you pursue the same thing God pursues.  First of all, I must be an eternal being because my Creator is one.  Once you have eternal life, then what?

You fulfill love.

God's ideal is to fulfill love, therefore you want to make that circuit of love with God.  God is sacrificial and unselfish.  You want to truly give everything to God and God wants to give all He has to you.

In this respect, you want to own the entire world.  Within the spirit of love, you are able to do that.

God has a desire to love men, but how is that possible with men who do not possess love?

Man has the possibility to give and take in love, and then God can freely exchange His love with man.  The blessing will only come after a man or woman learn the true value of love and experience that love.

From this point of view, we know that the fall of man meant that man became numb to love when they did not follow God's word.  They did not grow to understand true, Godly love.

Christians always speak about being saved and how they want to have their little corner in heaven.  Most of them do not care about the world or about loving all people.  Being comfortable in their own lives and the few people they may meet, they do not waste their energy on world affairs.

Heaven is not a place. Heaven is love. 

It is a popular notion that heaven is a place in the sky and just by mere belief in Jesus as God's son you will enter the pearly gates.  Preachers may tell members of their congregation that when they pass on, all of their sins are automatically cleansed and they become perfect to live with God for eternity.

If you do not perfect your love or possess God's ideal and practice it on earth, you cannot speak about heaven.  Salvation becomes a visible image of God from the extreme of the material world.

If you yearn to go somewhere, you do not get there by just lying down and sleeping or hoping to get there.  God's desire is to perfect His visible image of man.

Therefore, we are not the subject, but the object.  Do you want to live by your own will and fallen ideals?  Live by your own motivation?

Americans practices too much individualism where each does not worry about others except their own position, situations and happiness.

How can they be harmonized with the universe with that kind of mindset?

With that kind of selfish motivation, the more you move, the more you become distant from the universe and further from unity.  You are separate from the universe and do not harmonize.  Is the American ideal a step forward or backward from establishing world peace?


Every day I am working to cut out all the old ideas and give you clean new ideas. But the old ideas tend to creep back in again! Think about yourself-how many times do you have to keep cleaning out the old ideas? You want me to do things the American way. If the American method would build the Kingdom of Heaven at once, I would be happy to do that. I am a logical person. I look at the truth, and if there is a better and faster way to achieve it, I would take it. 


Our problem is that we never threw out the old way of thinking that came with sin.  We just keep carrying them around.


But I devised a new way to get rid of them: It will be you a very narrow gate and a crooked road, and as you go along your luggage will get worn out and you will throw it away. I will push you faster and faster, and soon you will lose your old ideas.


Honestly, have you had to keep re-examining your old ideals?  To go God's way toward world restoration, you must be pushed out the narrow gate in order to be hardened and disciplined.

You will be tested and you can thank those who persecute you because you will find out how tough you are.

People come from all over the world with big bundles of ideas.  Satan would excuse if we just leave them alone or cut them from the dispensation.

The best way is to leave your luggage behind on your own.  We should make a pledge among ourselves to get rid of our baggage.

When you fundraise door-to-door, you can think of it like visiting another planet for the day.  Some planets will give you the cold shoulder and some people may shout or accuse you.  When you visit such a planet, you can think of that house as the winter season.

When you get a hot welcome, think of it as summertime house.

Through this type of work, you can rehearse everything in your life.  You should be able to be a rounded character that can like all season, weather and atmosphere.  This is your goal while you are here on earth.

By digesting with love everything happening here on earth, you become successful in your life.

Satan will naturally surrender in competition of love and has no defense when you practice intense love.

Love is your best offense and your best defense.  You can make love wider and wider because it has no limit and can break all barriers.  This is the original concept of God's creation.

For the first time in history, the concept of creation which is God's ideal is being followed.

Through the fall, man lost the knowledge of true love and love's order.  Man has remained in the dark of self-centeredness.  We must liberate mankind from its selfish lifestyle and behavior.  Wherever you go, you should be the crossroads where love, life and ideal are concentrated.

With it, there is nothing you cannot win.  Without it, there is nothing you can win.  Therefore, you must always defend these three points.  This is what God's strategy has been all of this time.

Is it right to refuse to go to a home because they are atheists and do not believe there is a God?  You should embrace such a family and be sacrificial toward them.

God always sacrifices Abel for the sake of restoring Cain.

For this reason, you are pushed strongly.

As people of faith, you are in the position of Abel, so you must demonstrate sacrificial love to save those in the Cain world.  The more you practice this greater love, the wider your horizon becomes.


 I have lived this principle all my life. I always forgave the people who mistreated me, and sacrificially loved them. Eventually they were conquered by love, and my own horizons became wider. Do you think I am very tough, or vulnerable and easy to break? I will never break. 


You, too should also have that kind of toughness that Father has that nothing can stop your life power.  If you are not able to demonstrate that power of life, love and ideal, God will not be able to have a good rapport with you.

God is eternal and tough.  When you resemble the Messiah, God will know He can trust you and deal with you.


When I issue a direction, how do you answer? Pushing you out and making you hard does not benefit me; it only brings criticism to me. I don't need your fund raising because I do not spend American money for my purpose. I can take care of myself. It is not for my own benefit that I push you.


If someone was trying to take your life power away from you, would you just give up in defeat?  What if your former boyfriend or girlfriend wants you to come back to them, will you just say, "To heck with eternal life, I just want to have fun"?

Do not do things that cheapen your life.

You are not able to swap the extreme value of your life for even the whole universe.  Your life is connected to God and is there for eternity.

Your life should be full of give and take with God.  Would you give up this pure relationship over a girl nagging you?

Are you able to sell your life cheaply?

Even if millions of Americans were to come against you, you still cannot sell it.  Even if the entire earth came after you, still you cannot sell it because it is more precious than the entire cosmos, equal to God.

Ungodly love brought about the fall of man below God's ideal and brought death and misery.  Through restoration, we have found true life.  Eternal life.

In order to restore the original love before it was lost through the fall, you should not hesitate to do anything that will bring you closer to the ideal.  Therefore, it is your pride to be persecuted, condemned and spit upon for the sake of restoration of true love.  Many saints, people of faith and conscientious people went this way of love for the world.

God created original love and now you are restoring it into wholeness.  You are doing the things that are as important as God is doing.  How great is this sacred work we are doing?


 Until God and the world are united in rejoicing over God's one principle, I shall not relax one minute. No matter what, you must defend the central point where life, love and ideal all come into the center.


We are pursuing that kind of eternal life here in the church and that kind of God-centered love and ideal.  The world is our stage.  If we are not victorious on earth, we shall never prevail eternally.  We have not been able to win the ultimate victory yet.

Instead of running many races, just think about being victorious all at once.  Think how to condense everything into one race.  You'd want to participate in that kind of game and that is why you become a champion for all seasons, in all areas.


I have a good brain and I am always thinking about what the one game is in which I can win everything. God wants to see His son win that kind of certificate. 


Think of that one game where you can win the championship.  That game is Home Church.  That is the place where you can run with your life, love and ideal.

No matter what people will say about you will not make a difference.  Go ahead and run in all directions with this principle.

If others sleep for five hours, you will sleep for four hours.  If they sleep four, you sleep three.  If they sleep for one hour, then you get no sleep at all.  You  must have strong life power.

Father lived by that high standard.  Many people think that he is like superman with an iron body as he was was in his 80s giving 10-hour speeches, playing sports and talking with leaders from around the world all day and night.

He may not be Superman, but he has an iron spirit.

Our mind tends to be unfocused and jump all around, but his mind is like a rock that stays firmly in place, period.  Once he set a goal and marched forward, there was nothing under the sun that could move him away from it.  He is determined that no matter what hits him, he would not shatter.

 I will not slow down at all. That is the kind of teacher and leader you have.

Whether you go to Africa, South America or Asia it does not make a difference where you are persecuted, how can you forget what you represent?

Wherever you go in the world, you stand on Principle.  God gave you Home Church as the stage to practice the principle with the people there representing the world.

Therefore, season your life with life power, love power and ideal power in your home church.

If you want to get a Ph.D, you have to work day and night.  Sometimes people may spend many years on their dissertation.

This work cannot be done in your own way,  it must be accomplished based on the Principle, in God's way.  You want to meet the three criteria of life, love and ideal.

When you think you have passed, then you will be given an exam to test how you did.  Then God will examine it and add the final signature.  Unless your certificate is signed and completed, it will not be accepted anywhere.

Go ahead and create the power of life, love and ideal so that your cup will completely overflow.

If you say this task is easy to do, then you are faking.  Life, love and ideal are important to us.


I know that it is not easy because I have been suffering all my life. What I had to obtain was so important that there was nothing I could not endure. I have already graduated, and now the next seven years are your course. I have become the school principal and now I can put my signature upon your certificate.


From the bottom of your heart, do you believe that this is the most important thing to practice?  Would you do this work of restoration if you were blinded, and your ears were cut off and you could not hear?

The Bible uses very severe language such as if your arm or leg hinders your work for God to cut it off because sin is detrimental.  With sin there is no way out.

If you pledge that today is a new day to begin practicing the Principle raise your hands.  Let us pray.

Return for Tomorrows Post: Even an Atom Has Aspirations

This post was rewritten from the speech Things That are Important to You

We Must Get Rid of Barriers

When we speak of heaven, we speak of God; when we say earth, we speak of human beings. If God is all alone, He cannot be fulfilled, so He needs to come together with human beings. The purpose of creation can be fulfilled only when love is fulfilled, and love cannot be fulfilled by one alone; there must be two, in the relationship of subject and object.


Rev. Sun Myung Moon


When love is fulfilled, both the upper and lower areas are fulfilled equally.

This was God's ideal for the world, but because of the fall true love could not be completed.  Therefore there are several different barriers and walls which separate heaven and earth. When the highest point comes down and the lowest point comes up, they can meet in the middle.

In Oriental philosophy, the word 'heaven' connotes huge noble aspects, while 'earth' connotes small, lowly things.  The distinction between the two only came about through man's selfish love.

If the fall did not occur, there would not have been a difference between heaven and earth.  Heaven would thus be on earth; world peace would have been established from the beginning if the seed of misused love had not been planted.

Even though man fell, God cannot go down to the point of the fall.  Therefore, man must bring himself by uniting mind and body.  The most important thing is for man to know God and to conquer the ignorance of the fall and his horrible situation.

God has worked thousands of years to bring people out of darkness so we can know God's true nature.  Yet, wherever God goes, Satan plants his seeds of hate, doubt and lust to trip up God's people.  Therefore, God uses alternative means to reach His children.

God had made two major efforts throughout history to do this.  He used science, which is the external level, and religion is on the internal level.  When we know the purposes of both, then we know where would science and religion be headed.

The two  will meet at the point where love is fulfilled.  This would not be the level of human love standard, but the pure, high standard of God's love.  Any effort to find and discover God will ultimately reach the one point of the true love of God.

Every entity has two aspects: internal and an external.

The two must meet at one point. This means that the mind and body should share the knowledge each possess and unite.  To become one, the two should know each other.

In order for science and religion to unite, they both must understand each other.  Everyone possesses a mind and body which is in a horizontal alignment, side by side.  God also has a mind and body which are in the same position.

Here on earth man should have unity between his mind and body.

We can meet God, not only through religion, but also through science.

This fact may be hard to take in, for both sides, that unity is imminent between science and religion.

Have you noticed that you are at your happiest when your plans or ideals are finally fulfilled?  This realization is not enough, it is the coming into oneness with a subject or object in reciprocal give and take that creates happiness.

Then what makes God happy and what is the work of God?

God's work after the fall has been in perfection of human beings.  This has been God's goal and true masterpiece.  When that goal is met, that will be the point of ultimate joy and goodness.  This would not be the point of secular, lustful love, but the original pure love of God.

I want you to understand that unless your mind and body are united, you are not eligible to meet God. 

We have two eyes that do not work independently, but they both have one focus that produces one image, not two.  The same with ears, the nervous system coordinates those impulses into one sound.  This focus is between the two, not in front of one or the other.

When two different focal points meet, they will discover that they are actually alike.  When they discover their likeness, they will be able to stimulate each other in give and take and fellowship.

When your mind and body no longer war for domination and are totally united with the godly mind at the center, then that focus is upon God.

God's united mind and body is united into one and people would be the focus of these two.

The common goal that excites them both would be true love.

Therefore, unless God finds love, He cannot find completion; and unless man finds his ultimate goal, which is the true love of God, he cannot achieve completion either.  When God focuses upon man and man focuses upon God, and the two are united, the entire universe is united.


In human love, the nervous system focuses to transfer sensation to the whole system. If the mind is willing to live this way, but the body is lethargic and doesn't obey, then the mind/body alignment is askew. Then the person is crippled, just as if he were missing an arm.

It is most important that we focus our life. 

The focus of the entire spirit world is God, and the focus of the physical world is man.

We see many horrors in these days, but you must understand that God would not arrange His creation in a sloppy manner.  God being perfect and of love, God must have organized the creation to focus upon one point on both earth and in spirit world.


There are two aspects to everything in the physical world: positive and negative. Within those positive and negative aspects, there are also internal and external elements, or mind and body. Once positive and negative electrical charges meet, you can't tell which is which. Likewise, you can't tell where positive starts and negative ends in a magnetic field. But there is action in the magnetic field and energy is created.


Men and women are different, but they are not enemies.

Instead, each focuses on the other to win his or her love.  Every senses focuses on love.  Even in the nonreligious world today, people see the fact that men and women meet and love each other, but this is only the beginning point.

Just like energy from the power plant works wonders, men and women work wonders together to tap God's power plant.  When you understand this, then living becomes a joy.

Even electricity follows this Principle.

Would electricity refuse to the light up the house of a smelly country bathroom?  Electricity works universally, once it is hooked up.  Do your nerves refuse to provide sensation to your smelly, dirty feet?  Does your blood refuse to circulate through arteries and veins there?

The oceans of the world are really one body of water even though sections of it are given different names depending on location.  In the same way, once love is activated, it is able to go anywhere in the universe.

Young people would like to travel the entire world with their husband and wife, and then along with their children thereafter.  Wouldn't a true king also like to see all of the beauties of the world accompanied by all of his subjects?

Don't you envy the birds who have the freedom to fly off to any parts of the world without a passport?  Humanity has such senseless barriers such as immigration restrictions and hangups about nationalities which are man-made barriers.

Once we are able to get rid of all of these barriers, we will be able to live in a world as free as the birds.  

Do ducks from the north discriminate against ducks from the south?

Would they refuse to marry and mate with one another just because they are from different parts of the world?

Nature in this respect has a higher standard than humanity by following this basic principle of the universe.  To ducks, it does not matter whom they marry just as long as they are ducks!

You are constantly told that you should serve others and focus your love and attention on other people because by living in this way you create unity.

A good athlete focuses all of his energy and distributes it perfectly in the pursuit of his sport. If 1, 000 people were able to do this, they would generate great energy and power.  This pushing and pulling force must harmonize to create tremendous power.

The greater the power of give and take, the greater the wonder it can create. 

God can stretch His arms from one pole to the other pole while embracing the entire universe in give and take.  If God is great, then it is logical that His creation which is man is also great.

Your ears "focus" within your brain, but actually you want to hear sounds that are universal, not selfish.

We take exhaling and inhaling for granted, but have you ever thought that the air we breathe travels all around the world linking you to it?

In daily life we are dealing with one universe, one air, one water, one sunlight and one land.

Do you focus all of your attention just on your husband or wife without taking interest in your society, nation and world?

When man and woman attain unity, they would then focus on the larger entities such as society, nation and world.

The greater the vision and the greater the distance this couple focuses on together, the greater your life becomes.

Has anyone else ever thought like this?  We know that as individuals we represent the entire universe, and furthermore you think that God looks like you, not that you look like Him?  Is this pompous thinking?

Through the teachings of the Divine Principle, which this blog is based upon, a small person would think that he was big enough to embrace all of America and the world.  This would not be possible through any physical means, of course.  But through love he would be able to do it.

There is no nationality in the world of love because love travels all over, like air. 

Can love reach all the way to God? Love will penetrate God's system and reach His heart.

If someone was to lock God's love in a vault, your love would be able to penetrate even that wall.  This means that your love is the greatest secret key of all.  Everyone no matter what their status is focused upon love, even God hangs onto it.

All things cling to love as well.

Everyone, young or old, Eastern or Western wants to be in possession of beautiful things.  If we were to think what the most precious thing in the universe would be, it would have to be love.

Even all of the spirits in spirit world would have to agree.

7 days of Holy Sex`Day 3 - Original Moral Code

“The owner of a husband’s sexual organ is his wife, and the owner of a wife’s sexual organ is her husband,” teaches Reverend Moon. "Marriage is finding the rightful master of one’s most holy place of love.”

In the previous post, we spoke about 8 points of the benefits of sex in a marriage.  These are the basics of sexual codes: An individual's sexual expression was meant to be reserved for only his or her spouse.

The only priest or priestess allowed to enter the Holy of Holies in the temple of the body is the married partner.

 The Qur’an concurs: “The believers are . . . those who guard their private parts except with their spouses”

When it comes to conjugal love, partners already have this sense of belonging to their beloved. "You own my heart,” they profess to each other.

In the Song of Solomon, the young woman says, “My beloved is mine and I am his”.

Couples promise their undying commitment, share their fortunes and futures and give all they have and what they will acquire to one another.  The greatest gift of this love is the exclusive affection and trust in an exclusive sexual relationship.  This is why it is natural for a husband and wife to claim their spouse on their beloved's love and his or her sexual expression.

Legal codes have historically recognized this expectation as “conjugal rights.

St. Paul, for example, speaks of this standard when he states, “The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.”

1 Corinthians 7:4


This means that each of us is a caretaker of our reproductive organs, attending them as a treasure for the sake of the true owner our spouse and the Creator.  This sense of entitlement or proprietorship, of course, is necessarily in the spirit of respect and care.

Again, the Bible goes on to say that, “Even so, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.”

Spouses are to love one another even as god loves and sacrifices for each of them.  Each denying themselves  for the other and the duty to satisfy each other sexually is part of the larger promise within a marriage.  The world's major religious traditions for thousands of years have been consistent and of one accord in affirming commitment in a sexual union as the norm.


Religion Teaches Sexual Sacredness

Rev. Sun Myung Moon has used his 93 years of knowledge of the spirit world and different religions to bring about the truth of absolute, pure sex in the following speech:

All religions share the strict prohibition against sex outside of marriage, especially against infidelity within marriage. “You shall not commit adultery,” is among the Ten Commandments recognized recognized by Christians and Jews Exodus 20:14 and affirmed by Muslims Qur’an 6.151-53.

Among the ten precepts recognized by Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism is the charge of chastity.

This uncompromising norm will never change or become outdated. It is everlasting, having originated in the Creator and conforming to the very design and purpose of human creation.

Reverend Moon calls it the absolute sex standard. This is the standard “in the beginning” to which

Jesus was referring when he commented about matters of marriage Matthew 19:8.

The gold standard of sexual morality This norm is indeed latent within people’s consciences and “written on their hearts” Romans 2:15.

Common sense tells us abiding by this simple standard establishes the safety and security necessary for the greatest sexual satisfaction for both partners, and only these conditions will contain all the potential consequences of sexual union for the partners, their families and society.

Those involved with public health policy call it the “gold standard” of sexual morality, because it averts all the myriad negative health, social and other consequences of sexual behavior.



Confronting the Permissive Standard

However self-evident this original standard that links sexuality to marriage might be, reaffirming and reinvigorating this is sorely needed in contemporary times.

The developed nations remain in— and developing countries continue to fall under the thrall of—the sexual revolution that broke down traditional taboos in the 1960s.  Men and women relate in a 'low-commitment culture of ‘sex without strings, relationship without rings'.

Popular sexual morality has evolved since the blatant hedonism and promiscuity of the early days of the sexual revolution, but the basic “free sex” ideology still persists among many people of influence.

This is an outlook that sees sex apart from marriage as an act of liberation against unfair restrictions and that physical involvement is no one’s business except the partners.

Fun is considered justification enough for sexual relations; lovers should expect to be discarded when someone new comes along, and marriage and parenthood are unnecessary constraints on personal freedom.

In the aftermath of rampant unwed pregnancies, divorce, disease and heartbreak, this “free sex” philosophy of sex for pleasure has progressed to what is called the “ethic of intimacy", the belief in sex for love.

Warm feelings are now the acceptable reason for men and women to enter into a physical relationship. “Loveless” or “meaningless” sex is the only kind that might be condemned. Sexual activity itself is still regarded as morally neutral; it is its motivation that determines whether it is good or not.

Such an ethic of intimacy represents a moral advance in the many cases where sexual relations are brutally selfish and exploitative.

Yet it is a far cry from the authentic standard and remains just a variation of the older idea. Mutual consent, tolerance and a loose definition of love and intimacy easily legitimate temporary liaisons based on fickle feelings.

“We were crazy about each other,” recalls one young man. “I thought, ‘This is the one.’ We even discussed marriage. I gave my virginity to her. Well, so much for ‘undying love'. Now I don’t even know where she lives.”

Such an ethic does not protect partners from agreeing to use each other and inflict harm on one another and innocent parties beyond themselves, however this might go undetected at the time.

Whether the old free sex perspective or the newer ethic of intimacy, sexuality is regarded as a domain with its own rules, a unique impulse that cannot and must not be overly controlled. Sex is seen as a need to be addressed like that of food and sleep, and thus vital to mental and physical health. More than this, it is an entitlement, a right that cannot be denied.

In popular culture, sex is the universal gateway to joy, love, wisdom, transcendent experience, personal growth and discovery, worthy of endless participation, depiction and discussion. It has taken on mythic dimensions, like the Holy Grail or fountain of youth, and is almost an object of worship, as mentioned above.

This is a well-worn detour from the truth.

History abounds with examples of societies exalting sex out of all proportion and outside its rightful boundaries. Fertility worship in ancient Israel is a Biblical illustration.

History also testifies to the fact that whenever a society allows this to happen, destruction follows. Anthropologist Carl Zimmerman and others have discovered that the acceptance and practice of adultery and other aspects of sexual license are reliable predictors of the disintegration of a civilization.


Addressing Flawed Premises

The original sexual norm represents the enlightened and responsible standard, because it respects the realities of the heart and conscience as well as the body and harmonizes unselfish love and passion according to the human nature endowed by the Creator. The absolute sex standard confronts the flawed premises of the old “free sex” ethic: Absolute Sex Morality

The primary human motive and need is to give and receive love.

Sexual love is one dimension of this need and, while conjugal companionship and sexual intimacy are both good and healthy conditions, neither is a necessity, especially genital sexual relations. Sexual restraint is expected of any mature person.  Sexuality has intrinsic moral, spiritual, psychological and social dimensions.  Sexual love is a feature solely of the marital relationship.

It is responsible only in the context of this commitment and it is enriching only when accompanied by both love and commitment. Sexual expression is a responsibility and both a personal and public
matter.


“Free Sex” Morality

Sex is the primary human motive and need. As such, regular sexual outlets are a necessity. Too much sexual restraint is unhealthy and destructive.

Sexuality can be simply physical pleasure; it has no necessary moral, spiritual, psychological and social dimensions.  Sexual love can be a feature of any relationship; all sexual behavior is either normal or a variation.

Sex can be enriching free of love and commitment, while mutual consent and the use of birth- and disease control make it responsible. Sexual expression is an entitlement and a wholly personal matter."SMM

The Way of True Freedom

When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things which you are now ashamed?  

Those things result in death!  But now that you have been set free from sin and you have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

Romans 6:20-22


Necessity of the Proper Conception of Freedom


There is a limit.


Everyone speaks about wanting peace, happiness and freedom, but on a deeper level, what actually is freedom that regular people call freedom?  We can say that freedom is doing whatever you want.  But how far does doing whatever you want go?

It has a limit.

We can only live a little beyond one hundred years.  Is it freedom if an individual just lives their whole life doing things their own way even against the law?  If God didn't give us freedom to do whatever we wished within His principles, what kind of freedom would we have?

A human being cannot live much longer than one hundred years. Is it freedom if I spend that one hundred years going my own way living however I want to my minds desires? If there were no law and freedom to do whatever one wished, what kind of freedom is that? Today, the world of civilized culture has expanded greatly, so is it easy or difficult to do research and study?

Here's an example.

 Is it freedom or restriction to to study all day if you do not like to study?  Being stuck in a study room all day when you rather be somewhere else is confinement.   The question is, even though there are imposed restrictions, we have to see why we have the desire to do it?  The problem has been our understanding of the concept of freedom.

Freedom is not doing whatever one wishes.   

Then, what does freedom mean to a woman? What does freedom mean to a man? What is freedom for any person?

What is freedom for a family? For a society? For a nation? That is the issue. Can we, as individuals, do whatever we wish?  Isn't this how society is being led in our times?  People living how ever they want based on their own desires without care for any other individual feelings have led to disastrous results and multiplied throughout history.

If it is freedom to do whatever you want, then when you say you don't want to eat another meal, you will die no matter what because your body lives by a standard of needing food.

That is the reason Western society is perishing. They do not know the definition of freedom.

Do we obtain freedom from our happiness or do we get happiness from experiencing freedom?  Which would you whether have?  Freedom in happiness.  We might think that happiness is in freedom, but we have not been aware that this is not the case.  Freedom desires to live within happiness not the other way around.

Therefore, freedom is an action with a directional characteristic. It cannot be a decisive action.

Since freedom wishes to dwell within happiness, it is secondary not primary.

2) The Three Great Principles Freedom Must Have

Freedom cannot exist outside of the Principle or the law and everything has been analyzed and the rules have already been set.

There is no freedom outside of the Principle.

Just because you have the freedom to choose to stop eating and you decide to do so just because you have chose - this is not freedom.  You will become hungry and your body will start to show ill effects and eventually you will die.

When we look at it this way, all the workings of the universe exercise the power of freedom.

The greatest freedom is that the earth revolves on its axis once a day. Also, the moon goes around the earth once a month, and, of course, the earth goes around the sun based on a 360-day cycle.

What if the earth all of the sudden decided that it didn't want to rotate.  This means the value of the whole in which it serves would be lost.  The logical conclusion is that there is no freedom apart from the Principle.  Every entity exists in this way.

When we pursue freedom in a world that forgoes its principles and laws will eventually fail.  An elderly person must follow the rules for the elderly.  Is it suitable for a 80 year old to date a 20 year old?  Everyone would laugh at such a relationship and spit on them when they see them in public.  Everything has to coincide with the Principle.


With Freedom Comes Responsibility

Have you noticed that with freedom comes responsibility?  You have heard this in the famous comics in reference to power.  When we act in a position of responsibility, we should do it for something good and not take responsibility for something bad.  All of creation will respect you when you take responsibility for your actions.  Also, where you have acted based on responsibility, good results will be left behind.

Aren't these the three great fundamental rules?

Someone might wonder what kind of freedom is there when you have to follow the rules and while catering to responsibility.  A teen might not want to be dominated by their parents. They want to to do whatever they wish so they can assert that as freedom.

Let's compare this analogy with the branches and twigs.  Does a twig say that it does not want to have anything to do with the branch?  Without the branch, the twig would not have protection and cannot manage by itself.

Can anything manage alone? The north, south, east and west have to join in four directions. 

If there is a tree-branch facing the east, then there will inevitably be branches facing west, south and north. There must also be buds and roots. It is in such a case that freedom can be guaranteed.

Without this principle, the tree does not grow upright and it will be out of shape.  Is the growth of a tree an example of freedom?  It is its purpose...to grow.  Therefore, there is not freedom outside the Principle - the fundamental rules of the Principle.  There also, is no freedom without responsibility.  When we act, good results must inevitably come about.


3) The Devil's Easy-Going Freedom

When we look at the behavior of students these days destroying school equipment, breaking things, they can be called villains.  They are satan's dogmatists.  This is self-indulgence - not freedom as they may think.  They may believe that doing whatever they want including harming property as long as they do whatever they feel like doing is freedom.  This selfish way of life can only decrease.  One only can prosper with the aid of everything in creation. Isn't this true?

As in the world of nature, each of us must absorb nutrients in order for our bodies to grow healthy. But if we deny our bodies the proper nourishment thinking this is freedom, our health will go down and all is lost.  That is a big painful problem.

"You must know this: there is definitely no freedom outside the Principle. When fathers and mothers give birth to sons and daughters, those sons and daughters cannot deny the principle of being born as children of their parents, can they?"

Only doing what I want to do and prefer is satan's easy going way of freedom.  It is a free action which is based on untruth, unprincipled things and will lead to failure.  It is outside the principle.

A person has to accept their father and mother are their origin and must come into harmony with them in order to do so.  They must care for each other and not just care for only themselves.  To be good to ones mother and father and yourself is freedom.

4) Women's Freedom



Should it be acceptable for a woman to say because of freedom, she will do everything a man does even though she was born as a woman.  As a woman she was not born with a beard so how can she claim freedom to grow a beard as a man?

Is this the way of the principle for those born as a woman.

Can a woman who has a monthly period, just claim that it is too annoying and she will just give up.  Can she just give up this responsibility just because she feels like it.

Each one of us has to adapt to the fundamental principles of womanhood.  A woman hast to take responsibility for being born a a woman.  She takes responsibility of bearing and raising the children as her breasts get large.

This is freedom. Giving birth and raising children is the highest freedom. 

A woman who does not give birth feels that she is only half a woman and is not counted as a woman.

Even if a chestnut burr is big and good, if it does not ripen properly then it will decay.  It will not be able to ripen and open and the whole part will fall off and rot.  The burr is attached firmly so the chestnut must not decay.

However, the chestnut burrs bearing chestnuts will come to fruition in the autumn. If the burr is carrying a chestnut, the nut should drop off. Before the chestnuts drop, the burr opens up automatically. No matter how big they are, those that don't have fruit will drop off the tree and decay.

When autumn arrives, the ones that are ripe open their mouths and have the responsibility to protect the fruit. It is the Principle. It is Principle based reasoning. There is no freedom outside of this logic. Do you understand?

The American concept of freedom has led to its decay.

We each have to take responsibility in all facets of life.  Why?  If we give birth to a child we would never say, "Hey, you're free.  Grow in any way you wish, do whatever you want."  this is a collective responsibility.  Because my parents raised me with responsibility, I must do the same for my children.

That is where freedom is.

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."

Robots Bring Peace, Not Fear

Robots Role in Bringing a World of Peace

People fear that having robots will take away our jobs.

Robots will play a significant role in our freedom and bring us greater peace - but not in the way you expect. Already robots play a significant role in our lives. Instead of humans performing dangerous industrial work in constructing and other livelihoods, robots are used. For instance, something as common as a forklift carries heavy equipment to a high rise, and we have robots flying to distant planets such as Mars without risking lives to collect data.

On a more practical note, in our everyday lives we are freer to do many things because of common appliances, that can be considered robots, taking away the daily chores humans once did. Your dishwasher, for example, takes away the need for large volume of dishes to be hand washed.

But in the near future, most of the minimal jobs that take human effort will be replaced entirely by robots.  Physical jobs in the future will be managed by one person or two in the future who runs the plant with just the push of a button.  Then there will be more time for God's children to enjoy the fruits of the creation and each other as brothers and sisters.  This is God's plan, how can we deny that we are living in an archaic system of hard labor, stressful type of world?

Must we forget that in the beginning when God gave Adam and Eve a choice of blessing and curses, one of the curses was that people would have to work the ground for their survival.  At that time, Adam and Eve didn't have to till the land for food, the earth yielded its fruit willingly.  But after the fall of humans, the ground was cursed. 

People may worry that robots will put millions out of work, but the world will evolve to create a whole new culture of work as it always has.

Just fifty years ago, the movie industry only dreamed of computer special effects and when the technology cornered the market, animators worried it would take away their jobs. What happened when computers could create fake objects and humans, there was more need for human input and imagination, so that fear has quickly been replaced with better quality of movies.

Farmers would attest that the use of farm equipment, compared to how our ancestors used to farm, has been one of the reasons we enjoy a better time than in the 1800s. In other words, humanity experiences less suffering because of the use of robots and will only improve our lives.

You might think of your car as a robot, but they are sort of becoming that way. They talk to you, tell you when your gas is getting low and tell you how to get to your next destination.

So, the idea that humans should turn into robots to create the perfect human being seems to be a hellish reality with our current situations in society. The only way to peace is with humanity heading toward God's ideals of a peaceful world. 

Work relief robots, perfect humans, a World of Peace will happen as humanity accepts God's principles as a way of life. Thank God He gave us 5% responsibility from the beginning to enjoy freedom to be ourselves and to explore the world in which He endowed us ownership. As we come closer to returning to His ideal of Creation, we will see these blessing bear fruit.



Today's topic is based on Dr. Rev. Sun Myung Moon's autobiography, "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen." Dr. Rev. Sun Myung Moon studied the bible deeply for nine years before writing the Divine Principle that is mainly a decoder of how God worked behind the scenes for the victory to bring His children back to the original ideal.

No Freedom Without Responsibility

Yesterday's post focused on the fact that God gave us a choice through free will to choose his world of peace or to go a separate way.  Through choosing God's way, we can save the world and bring it back to God's original purpose.

To do this takes power to go where God's enemy dare not follow you, and with that power, comes responsibility.

We also discussed why communism and democracy will always fall short in the pursuit of world peace because both ideologies center around the limits of human judgement and biases.

Another Ideology Centered on God Bring Peace

It is clear that neither democracy nor communism provides the means to cure the ailments of any society. Originally, both democracy and communism developed out of the desire to solve humanity's common problems.

Yes, even communism had a central idea of world peace, but without the guidance of God's ideals.

Yet, not only has democracy been unsuccessful at this task, but it has also proven itself unable to resist and overcome the destructiveness of communism.  Communism, on the other hand, also is completely unable to solve the world's problems, and ironically, it creates even more problems for the human race than it claims to solve.

Thus the world is at an crossroads.

Why, then, are Democracy and Communism not the answer? Both systems show that neither has truth as its core. Democracy is the basis for a political system, but it has only a national-level view and does not have a world view.

Communism does have a systematic world view, but it is based on false assumptions and distorted facts. How will this be solved? There is a third choice, a new understanding of truth should emerge. One which presents a new vision of a World Society. We have the left wing, the right wing a new head wing should come which will be Godism.

First of all, communists do not realize that God is alive and works behind the scenes. Secondly, they do not understand religion and that people's original mind is only satisfied by God's truth and True Love. Every law that is created to force peace further degrades the people. Only God's laws govern the spiritual world and the physical universe. These laws do not work in accordance with the ideal of materialism. This is the idea that matter is more important, and that the spirit does not exist.

When someone is a slave, they still have character and emotion, sooner or later people of a slave society will revolt. But, when one becomes a robot, such as in a communistic society, there is no humanity and no will to revolt. Communism wishes to take the humanity out of men and achieve robotization of men.


No Freedom Outside of Natural Law

There is no freedom outside of God's law. Looking at it this way, every movement and work of the universe is free because they move in accordance to God's law.

The greatest freedom is that the earth revolves on its axis once a day and the moon revolves around the earth once a month, and the earth revolves around the sun.

What if the earth said, "I don't want to do that no more"? It would then lose the value of the whole. Every being exists in this way.

Well, then, do I have freedom?

It is the same for you and me. Pursuing freedom in a world that has abandoned its principles, the laws of God, is doomed to failure.

Also, there is responsibility in freedom.

Responsibility?

You should certainly not act in a position of responsibility for something bad. You must act from a position of taking responsibility for something good. On seeing how much you have been able to take responsibility for your actions, all creation should be able to respect you based on this. Teens might say, "I'm not going to let my parents tell me what to do! I'm going to do whatever I want."

This is not freedom.

Even nature follows the natural law of order. Does a twig on a tree claim it will not associate with the branch. Without the branch, the twig is left unprotected. Can a twig be without the branch? Can anything manage alone? Therefore, there cannot be freedom outside of God's law and there cannot be freedom without responsibility.


No Freedom Outside Principle

When fathers and mothers give birth to sons and daughters, those sons and daughters cannot deny the principle of being born as children of their parents, can they?

If it is true that those are their father and mother, they have to accept that reality. In order to do so, they must be in harmony with their father and mother. They have to care for each other.

They cannot care only for themselves. To be good to your mother, your father, and yourself -- that is freedom, isn't it? "Only what I want is important!" This is Satan's easy-going way of freedom. It is a free action based on a lie that will lead to failure because it is outside the Principle of God's law.


Without Free Will We Are Robots

Why did God give us Free Will and not just make us automatically perfect?

If we were to look at Free Will in percentage, we can say that maybe God has a huge portion of responsibility when it comes to creation. Man has no doubt that the rising sun, the air, the organization of living things acts in accordance to God's law.

We must look back when God was creating. Here you have an absolute, eternal, all encompassing being. How would his object partners be? Would He make them inferior to Him?

God gave us free will in order for us to mature and GROW to a position as Himself. This solves a great mystery. Plainly, God has 95% responsibility, and He gave us 5% responsibility to perfect our character and truly become like Him. That means you must push forward in order to over come Satan and the satanic world.

If God had 100% responsibility, whenever man makes a mistake He can use His authority and stop it. Instead He gave us a portion of responsibility over ourselves and creation in order to share in the process of His creation with us.

In other words, God gave us freedom to choose how to carry out His Will so he can have an object partner of love that once they grow to perfection we will be His equal partner in true dominion over the earth.

Yet, humanity chose a different way away from God's direct direction.

This sounds blasphemous to the religious, but why else would an all mighty being give his objects a choice? All He had to do was to create us 100% to follow Him in every way and World Peace would have happened from the get go.

This is a glorious matter. Right away we must be grateful to God that He gave us that choice. The other choice is to have an eternal being that was a dictator over us for eternity without choices. Many people have been raised to believe that is what God is - an almighty dictator ruling over the earth practicing His almighty power.

This is absolutely not true. God, a spiritual being, in creating human beings wanted an physical object to experience love through. One can not experience love without an object, and God is no different. In creating man, He decided to give him a part of the world through having the means to be co-creators of the physical world.

What happened?

Instead, we chose another pathway with our 5% and still choose a path that is far from God. Why doesn't He just create World Peace and make us unite and stop fighting as global brothers and sisters?

Because He gave us choice - He gave us freedom. With that Freedom we chose Satan's way over His. Don't despair, God is in the background giving all His energy to open up ways for His children throughout history. Bringing us Jesus and a multitude of saints is proof of His work to restore the world to His original idea which is a World of Peace

God risked His own ideal and Will by giving us a choice instead of making us robots. This should attest to the awesomeness of God's love for us and His great work to give us equal work in bringing the human world back to an ideal world experienced in the Garden of Eden.
