The Age of Godism

Surely when we look through the history books, we must evaluate that even though Democracy is the closest political stance standing on God's side in comparison to communism, it still has never been able to solve all of the social problems of the world.  Communism has proclaimed salvation, peace and happiness through orders and materials.

Left or right wing still have never been able to bring true peace to the nation or solve the juvenile problems and religion has only been able to cause more separation among its members not finding unity and peace within its confines.

God never created the world to have such divisions or even religion.  Humanity was to already know and converse with God on a substantial level without the idea of a fallen blood lineage.  Therefore, religions only purpose is to bring God's ideals and practices to His children to restore the world to its original idea before the fall.

Therefore, we are headed not for more political barriers, but the idea of Godism and love.


The Era of Godism

Let's examine what religion truly teaches.

It teaches discipline and control of our fallen desires through fasting, abstaining from fallen sex and to serve and sacrifice.  These are things that no one wants to do and seems unnatural to fight these urges.

Why does each religion focus on these attributes?  Because the founders of these religions understood that satan influenced us to center on our own thinking and not God's way of life.

The only way for arrogant people to become Godly people is through sacrifice and serving others.  Religion also teaches us to make ourselves as an offering to God.  This means to make a condition in which we divide our-self  one side representing good and the other evil.  The body does not want to do anything that does not allow it to be comfortable.

However, the mind is willing to go that way of sacrifice for the sake of heaven. 

Then the mind rises up higher and higher towards heaven in the spiritual world.

Once the mind goes toward the heavenly way, it will rise higher and higher toward heaven in the spiritual world.  We are living in the age where our conscience is being liberated.  The conscientious people will rise in power around the world, because they will be connected to God's love and will receive God's grace, power and opportunity.

Adam and Eve were to be the first perfected parents bearing God's direct lineage without the trace of sin.  We have entered the era of True Parents which embody the true lineage of God.

Humanity lost their parents in the beginning and to return to God we absolutely need True Parents.  Jesus came to be a True Parent and reverse the mistake of Adam and Eve in his time, but went the way of the cross when no one could ultimately follow him and understand the fullness of his teachings.

Why are True Parents so absolutely necessary? Because they help us to cut the ties with evil and to embrace all the individuals and families of Godly attributes. Also to embrace all the tribes and nations of the world and have them belong to God, True Parents are necessary.

When every family follows True Parent's family's ideal, they will become ideal families.  If God is a good God would He have created a hell for His children?  God intended for all of His children to go to heaven as families.  We must live our lives centering upon True Parents' family for the first time in human history.  Your life becomes an offering.

Suppose Father requests you, as an offering, to go to poor suffering Africa. Then you should invite the poor people of Africa to come and live in this affluent nation of America and inherit it from you. That is an offering.

Love is the entity that flows, just like air and water. If they stagnate they become rotten. 

Does the high pressure follow the low pressure or vice versa? (High goes to low.) How about air and water? Same direction.  In the same way love follows this same principle.

If we are to look at the world as a whole, we can say that it is stagnant.  The affluent nations demand to stay on the top level while the poorer nations remain poor.  Air flows freely as love so who created this distinction in class?  The ideal of living for oneself, a self-centered concept caused this stagnation.  This thinking centers on Satan.

Wealth must flow down to the low just as high water flows down.  When we see this happen, the "world problems" will cease to exist.  Does this sound like a solution or not? All problems began in humanity when individualism came into being.  America is the king of individualism and God has nothing to do with individual thinking.  It will all fall down in the Last Days prophesied in Revelations.

Air flows through even the smallest crevice, as does water. Then so should love. Wherever love is needed then there it should seep in. If True Love wants to seep into your mind do you resist or welcome it?

We must find our True Self, our original minds that are linked to God.  How far have we deviated from our true self?

Our mind represents heaven and our body represents hell. 

This is why every religion teaches to dominate the body with the god-like mind.  It is our purpose in life to dominate our bodily, fleshly desires and liberate the conscience.  Just believing in religious text and attending sermons does not qualify one to go to heaven.  When every human lives together harmoniously, religion would have fulfilled its purpose and will no longer be needed.

At the fall we lost everything and the sad point is, we don't even know what we have lost.


Satan Loves Separatism

When God created the world, did He create borderlines between nations or different denominations in religions?  God did not create this division, man did.  We are living in hell on earth where there is no true everlasting peace.  So we must go the opposite way of this individualistic world.  Which way is this, it is the whole, the public way of living.

What determines if a person is good?  A good person is a public person and a bad person is an individualistic person.  We need to know this definition clearly.  In this age where conscience is being liberated.  Those who have been born with a good brain have come to rule the world, but at the beginning, we were ruled by Godism.

At the beginning God was at the center and during medieval times, man became the center.  As we live in the Last Days, we see that materialism and individualism has become central.  During the medieval dark ages, God was part of their world, but there was great confusion where the cause and the result was.  People just blindly followed God and this blindness eventually led to corruption.  We are living in the time where man has become central rather than God.

Father explains very clearly who and what God is and Godism is no longer unclear. We know now, for the first time in history, clearly about God. We understand very clearly today man's relationship with God.

People came to realize that no matter how great a man became, there was a limit to his power as they would die after 100 years at the most.  We lived during an age of materialism and science which denies God and the human spirit.  We are currently back to Godism again.  This time is different than any other time before in human history.

That is the headwing thought.  We have left wing and right wing, but we are leading toward the headwing thought when the two come together.

As well as Godism, we also uphold humanism.  God originally created human beings' mind and body to b connected directly to Him and the things of creation.  Therefore, human beings are the central connection of the entire universe.  Adam, Jesus and the Lord of the Second Advent all come into one unified realms of Parents.

From Adam's time to Jesus' time and the time of the Second Advent, all connect with God [indicating to the board]. Centering upon Parents, the right and left wing bring into unity and bring God and humanity back into oneness. Godism is the vertical viewpoint and headwing is the horizontal viewpoint centering upon True Parents.

From Godism to humanism to materialism, now all are brought into unity. Godism represents the brain, humanism the power, and materialism the body. At this time Satan works to have people believe that God is dead. Now humanity may return to God and Satan is very afraid and so he is trying to proclaim that God does not exist.

Satan tries everything he can to separate people from understanding the concept that humanity can be restored back to their original sinless condition in which God created Adam and Eve.  We have gardnered the concept in society that bad people do well in gaining material wealth whereas good people are always at the bottom.  We should be grateful to be living in the time of liberation where good people will gain God's power and help.

We are living in the time where people of conscience will rise up and turn this world right side up.  We prepare for this season by uniting our mind and body and prepare for this day.  The Fall caused our mind and body to struggle for domination, between husband and wife and the conflict among children.  The right and nations.  Individualism brought about these conflicts.

When the Christian culture that represents the bride unifies the right and left wing then the Lord of the Second Advent arrives.  Such a world will bring unity between husband and wife and the process will be multiplied from individual liberation to the world.

Once spouses unify centering on True Parents, this will restore the family.  Then the individual will be restored and enter into heaven. Unless our mind and body become one, and unless our family become united and we become one with the True Parents we become families who can represent the whole world.

Each family will represent the world, just as Adam's family did.  Just as one man brought about the fall which spread to the whole human society, the family can go in the opposite direction and save the world.  We have come into a culture where good people are welcomed anywhere by anyone.

This did not come about automatically.  Throughout history, God poured His very being into the restoration of His ideal and for His children to return.  We must ask ourselves in our daily action are we going in this direction to unite with God?  this is the natural human desire of the original mind to go this way.

Don't all women have the desire to marry the greatest man on earth?  Not to the second greatest, but to the greatest man in all of history, but this man would disappear after one generation from earth.

Throughout the past, present and in the future who would be the greatest of all?  God. Jesus was great in his time but left the earth with his mission incomplete to return through the Second Coming.  The returned messiah would be qualified as the greatest man on earth.

"How do you distinguish man from a woman or woman from a man? Through the physical characteristics. One is indented and one is protruded. Do you think that God has the physical characteristics of man? Does He or does He not? He is your own Father. (Yes.) You know more than me."

All women must become wives of God.  What will you need to qualify as God's wife?  Women already possess it within themselves.  They will need True Love.  If God was able to connect directly to Adam and Eve instead of them connecting to satan's ideas, He would have dwelled in their three children in an equal way without any amount of sin.

Even though the generation may be different, the fruit is the same. First, second, third generation -- it does not matter. God dwells within each fruit in each generation. God dwells within all of His children in the same way.

The value of the fruit is the same. No matter how many millions of years may pass, the fruit will always be of the same value. This grand pattern God created, guarantees that all of the descendants would have passed into the Kingdom of Heaven no matter how many generation the same as their True Parents.

God created everyone the same and each generation has the same value in God's sight. Adam and Eve naturally represented the entire world, even though they were individuals. Our marriage is not just one among five billion. Rather, each couple represents the whole world.

We each represent couples like Adam and Eve.  We are on the same level representing  the whole itself, not a fraction of the whole.  What does this mean?  That every child bears the same value as Adam and Even themselves.

When a husband and wife come together to pledge before God to marry representing God Himself this i our marriage.  Our marriage represents the whole world.  When Adam and Eve were perfected, married centered on God they would have followed this absolute pattern of goodness.  We would be living our lives centered on Godism throughout the world.

What Is Cause of Human Disunity w/God? Part II

If you have already read Part one of the Cause of Human Disunity w/God, then you already know what the fall entailed.  In short, the fall of the first ancestors of human beings was not a literal fruit, but the symbol for a physical act.  An act in which we as humans continuously partake in to keep God from truly relating with us and multiplying this disease. 

This video gives a short explanation of what the fruit in the Garden of Eden was and how this sin has been passed down generation to generation as an inheritance from satan.

 

The enemy of love; the bitter pain caused by the Fall

The Garden of Eden is a symbol for Heaven on Earth.  When the eldest son and daughter of humankind were expelled from the Garden, it was because of the act of Adam and Eve leaving the dominion of God and choosing to follow the archangel.  The first daughter, Eve, was the only daughter.  Adam and Eve were the first daughter and son to be parents of billions of generations.  If we truly think about this, the first son and daughter were kicked out of Heaven after they ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Think about a parent of an only child.  What if this only son or daughter died, how great would the pain of this elder parent be?  There is a Korean saying that if an only son of an only son for seven generations dies, the entire neighborhood and surrounding villages will mourn for him.  The pain is so great therefore all the families in the areas, all parents, children, brothers and sisters will sympathize with this couple. 

When we consider this scenario, when we reflect on the situation of Adam and Eve, the only son and daughter of God, we see that God lost the only sons and daughter of billions of generations.  Yes, we call God our father, but in the true sense, the Parent and child relationship was not consummated between God and man.  If it was, we would not need a middle man, a savior  who had God's characteristics to connect us to God.

In essence, even though people of faith call God Father, we have not known that the only way to find that son again is to overcome the pain lasting for billions of generations.  We did not know this about our Heavenly Parent.

Who is Lucifer.  The angel meant to care for Adam and Eve, yet became the adulterer of God's  love and the enemy of God.  Even still, God had to listen to Satan's accusations for tens of thousands of years and yet has to love him.  This is God's sorrowful position.  Did you know how difficult God's path has been, or do we still hold onto the belief that God is sitting joyfully on his throne watching His creation and children in their pitiful state?  We should know that God's heart of difficulty about the fall is millions times more difficult than the man who lets his wife be sexually assaulted by the enemy and yet had to pray for that's enemy's happiness after stealing his wife.

Could you or I be that humble or that loving to do this? 

Satan is the adulterer who seduced Eve. Therefore, he is the enemy of God's love. Even though that enemy of love has been coming to God and making accusations for thousands of years, until today God has been fulfilling His role as the true Master without a single sign of displeasure on His face. Therefore, until God sets up one central base on the earth, no matter who comes to Him with complaints He cannot oppose that person. The reason for this is the existence of the archangel.

We have known Satan in theology as a snake as a deceiver, but who has ever revealed that Satan is the adulterer who stole God's love and seduced Eve?  Only Rev. Moon, the author of the Divine Principle has announced this to the earth.

Who is Satan?  He is a servant who left his position through a fallen desire to seduce and violated Adam's wife to be and take her as his own.  It is written in the Bible, in I Corinthians, "Do you not know that you are God's temple...?" (1 Con 3:16) We are God's house. The Bible says that whatever Adam called each living creature that was its name. What does that mean? It means that God entered his soul and dwelt there. This means that not only did Satan defile Adam's wife, but he also took God's wife since He lives within Eve.

From God's point of view Satan is the adulterer. Eve is an adulteress and Satan is an adulterer. God has to consider such a wife, such a daughter, a pure woman, a pure daughter. Otherwise, He cannot restore her to her original state. That is the realm of heart God is in, but no one knows His miserable state of mind; no one except Rev. Moon.

Jesus wanted to tell this information to his disciples, but he told them constantly that because they could not understand the simple earthly teachings that he was bequeathing to the masses, there was still yet much that he wanted to teach but they did not have the ears to hear.  So, Jesus had to go the way of the cross and wait until the Second Coming to reveal this information through Rev. Moon that you are reading today.



When Eve chose to follow Satan's words instead of God, when she had a sexual relationship with Satan, she inherited all of the fallen natures of Satan. When she seduced Adam, after they were kicked out of the garden, she bore a child that had the sin and fallen nature of Eve inherited from Satan.

Then because of this, she and you and I must return to her original husband and he must welcome her and her child with the same pure heart he had for her before their marriage. She is the enemy of love, the adulteress of love. That is exactly the situation of fallen Adam and Eve.

"The world of peace will not come about however unless God overcomes that ridge in the realm of heart. Only when that standard is established will Satan naturally surrender."

God would not have the absolute qualities of God if he treated the sons and daughters of His enemy of love the devil as if they were the children of the enemy.  God had to set up a condition to be able to love the sinful children in the same way as if they had not fallen from grace.  Did you know or even think about how miserable God's situation is, that he is held in bondage and can only love in this limited way?

Christianity and all religions hold up a standard to love even your enemy.  God also abides by this law and Principle.  Therefore, God must love His enemy of love Satan as much as He loved Adam and Eve before they had fell.  Why?  God must love Eve's children born with the blood of Satan when she returns to Him or else, there is no path or way for Eve to return and restore her original position before the fall.

We can reach the conclusion after this information that one cannot become God's child without the whole heart of a man that could pray for the happiness of his enemy even after his wife went into the bosom of the enemy.

Eve was to be the wife of God, but she became an adulteress whom Satan has been kicking around and playing around with her billions of generations of children until today!

In reality it was not six thousand years. but several tens of thousands of years. Don't they say that the history of humankind has lasted for some ten million years? Who knows the deep valleys of God's aching heart as He dealt with Satan's accusations throughout that time! That is why someone who has not experienced the heart of a man who let his beloved wife go to the bosom of his enemy and yet prayed for the happiness of that enemy cannot know the heart of God.

Eve abandoned God on the day prior to her Godly wedding to Adam and went to His enemy. She became an adulteress; she lived with God's enemy and gave birth to the enemy's children. Yet God had to accept her again as if she were an original and untainted person in order that she and her children could restore this fallen act.

"Considering the heart of God who had to do this, I reflected that I needed to make Mother into a great mother. Only by making Mother a mother greater than Eve could I remove the scar from God's heart that was wounded, mortified and grievous over Eve. The family of True Parents(who A/E would have become if followed God's commandment) must do this. Do you understand what I mean?" Rev. Moon

In order to walk this path, I must have the heart able to bless the monstrous Satan even after letting my beloved wife go to his bosom. Do you understand what I mean? God has stood in such a position. The devil is the adulterer and the enemy of love, but in the Last Days the person qualified to be the Messiah cannot liberate God without the resolve to sacrifice even his own bride for this purpose and hand her over to Satan.

Why Women Had to Fight Equality Throughout History

Many problems in the world can be traced back to the Garden of Eden.  Even in jest there are thousands of jokes that "the devil made me do it" or "all the problems in the world began with a woman."  Good jokes always have a little truth at its root somewhere hidden in it.

God does not sit idly by on His throne watching His children suffer on earth as He merely rules the earth with all mighty power.  Any ruler such as this that would place His own dominion and position over love would be a false god.

That false god would be the one who has perpetuated this lie in the first place, and has stood in God's place pretending to be Him.  This god would be the one Jesus said was the ruler of this earth and the true father of the people who disobeyed him.

 The fall was initiated by the archangel Lucifer, and followed by Eve, which has pained God's heart.  In order for God to return His children to the state before the Fall, the mistake has to be indemnified and reversed.  To indemnify is to pay back for a wrong done.

God told Adam and Eve if they chose His words, "do not eat" that they would receive the three great blessings, on the other hand, if they followed Lucifer's teachings "do eat for you will not die" they would receive curses. 

Since God's children chose Lucifer's words, they all received curses.  Lucifer was thrown down to earth, Adam would have to work to gather food after the ground was cursed, Eve was to have Adam (men) as her master for all her days, and childbirth was going to be painful. 

Even though it was the archangel who defied God and tricked Eve, who did God give the responsibility to follow the commandment? 

Herein lies where the pain of women began in all facets of life.  Our first ancestors endowed with God's spirit were given the responsibility to choose to follow God's word in order to become mature and share in God's authority over the earth and receive the three great blessings.       

Lucifer was a servant, and was angered that God loved His children more, on the other hand, he was never given the commandment.  Lucifer was only told to return to his position as a servant.  It was up to Adam and Eve to trust God's command, follow and become subject to Lucifer.

Eve instead followed Lucifer, and then tempted Adam to do the same by following her.  Eve chose curses, therefore as Eve's descendants, all women thereafter would inherit her fallen characteristics.

God introduced religion to break us free from these curses, but this was not to last forever, there will be a point in history when all people will no longer need a Messiah to connect directly to Him.  That will be the Last Days.

Does God plan to keep these curses over His children forever?  God never placed these curses on us, we chose them.  Ever since the fall, God has been working hard to bring us back toward blessings and on His path.  If you look throughout history at women's course you see that women have gone from being shunned, having men as their masters, to burning bras and demanding equality and getting it in these Last Days.  This did not happen with human power alone, this is the mighty works that God is behind the scenes to bring all facets of life destroyed in the garden back toward His ideal.

A woman is for sure to live for her husband, but the man is to live for the woman as well.  The man is to be subject over his household, but does not mean master.  A true household is where a husband lives for the wife and wife for the husband. This has to be restored.  Instead, in the Garden of Eden, Eve chose to live for her own desire and she reversed the roles and dominated Adam to follow her fallen ways.  The situation in marriages where women absolutely follow their husbands must change toward this direction of husband and wife living for the other's sake, thus they live for the family.

We can see such types of marriages in the 1800s.  Women's roles were suppressed yes and not ideal to modern women who rather stay single, but this is closer to God's ideal for the family than today's marriages of wife swapping, single motherhood and other alternative lifestyles.  Men only became the master to women after the fall. 

Women are the central point for the love, peace and spirit of service which protects our families. It is the healthy family that must be the starting point in our work to build world peace. The establishment of God-centered family ethics and the education of our children lie at the innermost core of the Divine Principle teachings that is expressed on this blog. The family is the holy sanctuary that must cleanse this defiled world.

We must establish not only a true concept of manhood, but also the true concept of what it means to be a mother, a wife and a daughter, in the context of a new society, nation and world. People must become forerunners in inheriting the tradition of the True Parents and harvesting the victory. Adam and Eve were to follow God's direction and become True Parents. 

Women have the mission to give proper guidance to men who lead lives of moral decadence and disorder so that the tragedy of the destruction of Adam and Eve may be resolved within the context of history.

In the age of women that is now dawning, women must embrace their husbands and properly educate their children so that they may be a model movement for practicing true love throughout the world.  Women must gain the active cooperation of husbands and children.  This women's movement is not for women alone. First, a movement of true love for husbands and children must bear fruit in ideal families.

The ideal families formed in this manner will come together to form ideal nations and an ideal world.  For the sake of world peace, women must take the lead in government, finance, culture and society. The basic values women should uphold in this federation of women are found in Headwing, no longer the left or the right wing, philosophy can bring world peace,  but Godism.

These values are what unite left and right, and overcome atheistic materialism. They are certain to be the guiding ideas of the world of the 21st century. As women, remember our forbearers, Rebecca, Tamar and Mary, who fulfilled major responsibilities in the history of God's salvation process to bring forth the lineage of Jesus. Let us inherit the strength of will by which these historic women overcame life threatening dangers and difficulties to fulfill their missions.

Let us establish our families as homes for true parents, true husbands and wives and true children, so that we may join in the holy cause of changing this world of evil into a heavenly world. Let us march forward toward a world of peace centered on the True Parents, who are the center of true love.
