Hobbies Industry is the Future

The future world is the age of hobby life Many wonder that if this new millenium is just the beginning of a life lived for God's Will, what kind of life and world will that be? Will it be like the Jetsons, with flying cars and push-button jobs or will we return to living off the earth finding alternatives ways to use the earth's energy as a resource? However, the new world may come, everyone envisions a world of incredible development and a better economic way of living. Human beings will be able to have enough time to enjoy their leisurely pleasures and have enough wealth spread among them to do so because of technology. As a result, humankind will learn and understand about the greatness of nature. We will have more appreciation for God as we will try to overcome the differences of culture, race and national borders. Isn't that the kind of world we are enjoying at the moment among the accounts of chaos? We are at the crux of a new era as the world of evil and destruction of the world falls away. After we have gone through this process in the world, then the ideal world will come.  We will enjoy the true life, a life of loving and caring for one another. The leisure industry will be the big enterprise of the future. The technological industrial age is an age where people do not have the need to suffer the need of hard labor due to automated technology. It is even almost that way now. Just like the Jetsons, machines work once the person pushes a button.  A time will come when there will be three or four machines that can produce products day and night where before it took thousands of people to do the same labor. Then what kind of industry will flourish in that age? It would be such things as the entertainment and fashion industry which both fall under the category of the industry of leisure. We have already entered this age. It has influenced the world already in not such a great way.  If these industries were centered on God, the world could be quickly influenced by His standards. This will be the time to build an economic foundation. The leisure and tourist industry are bound to develop and flourish. We have already passed the age of the slave labor where the president of a company worked at the desk in the office. The computer age has already made it where we can work anywhere outside of the country using man-made satellites. Orders are given while the executive is fishing on a boat while on vacation.  We are getting closer to a heaven on earth step by step. The boss can run the business from a position of freedom where he can enjoy his hobbies  and get rid of stress. The coming age where more countries, races and communities will unite, will need to have a way for families to travel around the world by car. An international highway is in the works to connect the four continents around the world.  This project seems impossible like the Panama Canal in its day and age, but is a necessary link to physically unite the world. This leisure industry will help people to feel God's happiness toward creation.  Artists will be influenced by the good spirit world to uplift the beauty of God's creation in their works. There is a system in development that will bring farmers who live close to nature to unite with those who live far from nature in order to develop and educate them.  We see this happening in many established corporations. People in urban areas can support them both through the best scientific technology. This is why developing the hobby business is important in order to enjoy many hobbies around the world. God did not create the world for His children to suffer, but for them to enjoy all the luxuries of His creation. The hobby culture will be able to help in that development. A life of leisure is the kind of life God likes.  You probably didn't know that your hobbies are connected to the creation. So many different hobbies are waiting for me. I never get exhausted. By enjoying one hobby after another, I automatically come closer to God's world. This is the best life that men can hope for. The hobby industry is the shortcut leading to the world of peace We must enjoy leisurely pursuits.  God did not create the world for His children in reluctance; He made creations so that He could feel its excitement. We also must experience this same joy when we experience God's creation. We should not do hobbies because someone tells us to do so, but we should do so because we enjoy them. All of these industries - leisure time, the hobby industry and hobby research and so on - should be centered on God. Only then can those be things that belong to God and used regularly by the beloved sons and daughters of God.  Otherwise, they become Satan's possession to destroy and distort away from God's purpose. I am not doing this for the money; in fact, I am investing a lot of money in order to develop these ideas. We have a lot of preparation to do in order to enter the spirit world. At the age of sixty you should go back to the farming area of your hometown and prepare by digging the land and exert yourself with devotion. Through fulfilling your responsibility in guiding the farming areas you fulfill the purpose of the hobby industry and leisure time iself. You then become a caring, warm-hearted person who is able to live in the upper level of the spirit world and make good use of your time there. We must develop the hobby industry not leisure industry from now on.  We have normally thought of the leisure industry based on how much profit can be returned. Fishing and hunting can be pursued for profits and commercial interests. That is what makes the leisure industry different from the hobby industry.  The hobby industry can spread to the smaller cities where people can enjoy themselves in each of the four seasons. We each have our own path and different tasks in which to fulfill. There are people who work at a factory, company and such with various jobs. There can be groups from 100 to 360 that are assigned to various jobs, in this way, different groups would do this work. Then fifty percent will be returned, therefore, the entertainment business is the best. The leisure industry is for profit while the hobby industry puts the hobby itself as its purpose. People say that people without money can't enjoy a hobby, but that is not true.  You can enjoy going on vacation once or twice a year; this is what the hobby industry would be able to do in the future. I believe that being the first to make such a worldwide organization is the short-cut in leading to peace in all fields, including the world's money market and human resources. That is why I have been preparing this ocean plan for twenty years.  So along with this hobby industry, I am thinking of doing farming as a hobby.  Back a hundred years ago, people spent most of their time surviving, cultivating and finding food and such.  This day and age, the youth and people have a more free time - this can be a problem as well for the world. Now, is the time to encourage people to live off of their hobby. Our job in the Completed Testament Age is to mobilize a great number of people.  In order to create this hobby industry, a large number of people will be needed. Which industry is best for interconnecting all of the people of the world which will be able to transcend the national boundaries and go beyond our cultural differences we experience coming from around the world. We will have the need for church activities. The only industry that can connect people of different background is the hobby industry, the industry of enjoying God's creation. We must prepare for the age of the hobby industry The hobby business is a term that has recently developed in the last three decades.  The age of urbanization will soon end and people will disperse out more widely. Men are made to live centering on hobbies. The hobby industry includes sports, hunting and fishing.  These were enjoyed at the World Culture and Sports Festival. We are opening up the tourist business worldwide. I am preparing the worldwide tourist business now. The establishment of our American bus company "Go Tour" was an essential link in the preparation for this.  From now on, the tour-leisure business will develop worldwide.  In the future, people will ride on our boats at tourist attractions around the world. We will attract tourists from any country and guide them with lots of money because we have a worldwide organization.  This is possible. Let us travel around the world while working and distributing goods. We can develop tourist areas and make a fishing ground. This area will be beautifully landscaped and kept free by making sure people do not throw cigarette butts or trash anywhere. This place will be a place free from environmental pollution. We will also make an area where people can sight see and enjoy their hobbies well.  We will create a tourist area that anyone will love instantly and wish to come and visit. By building such a heavenly place, then all the 7 billion people on earth would visit even compete to be among the first to get there. When have we as people of faith who work hard for the dispensation taken a vacation? I have made the foundation for you to have vacations in the warmer areas when it is cold, and in the colder areas when it is hot. The time has come now to do so. This is what is referred to as the hobby industry. I have climbed up to this position by receiving much persecution, but you will not be persecuted. Father Moon has prepared a foundation in South America. You can take responsibility, and take your tribe there and train them.  All fo the families in that country and their ancestors will come based on that foundation. All the families and the ancestors in spirit world can unite based on that kind of tribal foundation. I am preparing sites in Alaska and in Texas, and trying to make fishing areas and hunting grounds in 160 countries. Fishing and hunting are hobbies. They are hobbies of the upper class, of the people who live well. That is why I am promoting the hobby industry. I am going to lead it directly, by making a tourism organization. This is not just a dream, but if we are thinking of achieving God's dream of a heaven on earth, the hobby industry is the best industry to bring this to reality. We will connect these sites to the tourist industry that is already established around the world in order to create a people that can harmonize with one another. If you can influence the people, you can influence the world.  Instead of living within a small circle of relationships, you should live as champions of the diplomatic world who can relate with prominent people. All people need to have a hobby. In the future, people will no longer have global food problems.  In this future world of enjoying the creation, would you spend your time in fighting one another? Of course, when God created the world He did not envision disunity and suffering, but he had dreamed that we would all enjoy life having fun. You should be able to ride on the river on a boat with friends fishing and diving in the world of water.  Yet, majority of the world has yet to do these simple activities. This is why the hobby industry is necessary to broaden. We do not spend our time enjoying casinos, but we will organize a group and visit the casinos for two or three days. Historically, casinos are considered evil because of the crime rings that have secretly controlled them in Las Vegas. Those who have lost tens of thousands of dollars have brought ruin to their families, so if a person was to receive a lottery ticket worth 30% of that amount they can turn that misfortune around.  Those who visit the casinos should be given ideological education for a third of that time. The Messiah has turned the casinos into instruments that are able to draw on the dreams of others by centering it on the hobby industry. Those who are not turned in the right direction, they will continue to gamble even if their own fingers were cut off and even after making a determination not to gamble. Academic education represents the mind, while physical education represents the body. The hobby business was opened to lead the future direction toward the perfection of love. The world went in the wrong direction due to the wrong use of love and in the future we will enjoy our lives with fun activities. The world of the ideal family has evolved into the hobby industry. You can view everything of creation as a hobby. When you go where there are mountains, where there are rocks and trees, those are all of great interest.  For whom was all of this world created? God created so He would be able to embrace everything.  God created an environment for us that was an ideal place to live. The entire world today is a world of science, in which through the best technology, people are moving the world. For this reason, people take a serious view of the production process, calling it the hobby industry, whereas I call it the hobby life. There are several kinds of hobbies: the hobby for your eyes, for your nose, for you mouth, for your ears, to touch, for your body, for your mind, your love and so on. The ocean, land, animal preserves -  all of these will be connected to the hobby business.  Instead of killing animals in the wild, we will raise them. This foundation will become the blood, the body and bones of God's true son. As fallen men, we are like thieves robbing everything for our own blood, bones and skin.  This has to stop in this new era of living for God. The hobby business will be able to unite the original love in accordance with the highest turning point in history which is the blessing marriage of 3.6 million couples. The value of the arts continues to exist.  The hobby business is external because of this. Families should be fun as well. We are able to continue to live because of joy.  A hobby refers to certain conditions of joy. Fun is something that is possible to take root in the ideal love between a subject and an object partner. Have you ever been able to have fun all by yourself?  If you are able to do so, then you are out of your mind. There must be a subject of love.  God created everything in relationship within the realm of love. God created everything in order to be the fuel for the Subject of love.  This is why you must love all things of creation. We have come to live in an environment of pollution and contaminated food.   We need to create an environment where the individual can live with everything necessary to grow healthy. Five family members can do their own farming and eat the food you have worked to harvest. You will be able to grow your own vegetables and crops.  Otherwise the world will perish due to pollution. The time will come when the biggest issue is to develop the tourism industry. The distribution channels of the tourism industry will move quickly and circulate all the time. It will expand to stretch to include all places.  Everything is being prepared for the distant future to make all of this possible for a better world. When you think that one hundred years ago, our ancestors and forefathers were dreaming of a world where it was easier to go from either side of the the country or world and to be able to take care of themselves with better medicine. What we dream will be the norm in a hundred years as well, but we have to put in the work of recreation of this world. Unfortunately, there are not many people who have such a futuristic way of thinking. Return for Tomorrow's Post: Why Did God Create Night/Day, Seasons?

The Character of Human Beings

For the last few posts, we have tackled the question of why an all-powerful God would need to create humanity.

First, it was so He could stand in the position as a true Parent, however God is invisible even in the spirit world.

God must have form to govern the physical world and to be the center.

In order to become the parent, He created humans who have form.

Once they unite, God could govern the world through his unity with God through love.

Secondly, reproduction cannot take place in the spirit world.

The vertical line is only one dimension, but a large area can unfold horizontally based on the vertical axis with a 360-degree perpendicular rotation.

Third, it was to maintain a position for His partner to have an eternal realm of love.

Adam and Eve would not have been God's only partners.

Their children would have stood in the same position of God's partners as their parents did.

Therefore, God produced people in order to preserve His partners in perpetuity.

God's purpose in creating humankind

Since Adam and Eve called their Father, then would their children call Him uncle or grandfather?

They, too would call Him Father.

The word 'partner' implies some kind of quality.  We must multiply God's love on the horizontally plane and perfect the value of perfected love which is one.  That is equality.

First, God needed a form or shape, He chose that of a parent.  He acquired that form in order to manifest Himself as Adam's spiritual father.

Second, God needed a center to build the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven.  In that case, husbands and wives are factories.  With this analogy, would a mass production or small-scale production be best?  Mass production is best.

Through these factories of husbands and wives who are able to produce massive products for the Kingdom of Heaven, women were created to bear many children.

Human beings as the interface between spiritual and physical worlds

All of creation began with God at the center.  God made all things including mankind.  Through His creation of humankind, He wanted to be in oneness with them and all of creation in equilibrium.

God was to stand in the middle between humankind and the created world.  Therefore, perfected human beings would interface between the spiritual and physical worlds.

Body and mind, and spirit self

All beings exist according to this principle of objects revolving around the subject which is similar to the give and take action between the mind and body.

We must reset this axis in line when we go the way of restoration.  The cosmos consists of an invisible and visible axis.

What is the center of your body?

Your good mind.

We have both a mind and a body.

The body is supposed to revolve around the mind and it moves according to its commands.  When the mind directs the body to move swiftly, it will do so.

Likewise, it will move in the opposite direction.  The body should not move on its own whim and fancy.

But we see today, that the majority of the population is focused on catering to just the needs of their body's desires. We see how this leads to destruction.

Above our mind is our spirit and above our spirit is God. 

The only way we can perfect ourselves is to be completely one with God's will.

We must heed our mind's direction when they are searching for their destiny.  This is heavenly law.  Even though our bodies are finite, we represent all of history and the destinies of the future.  Therefore we possess cosmic value.

God strikes those who disobey their good mind's dictates.

All throughout history, God has been teaching us to conform to our conscience and not be ensnared by the evils of the materialism.

Does our conscience correspond to heavenly law absolutely 100 percent?  It does not because there are innumerable barriers that block it.

Before we can go through the gateway of heaven is a labyrinth of challenges.  The Chrisitianity terms this as the time of judgment.

We live where the current trend of thought is ushering a time of fear, insecurity and chaos seemingly without any solutions.  We should not allow material things to encumber us.  When God created humanity, He created us with a physical self and a spirit self. The spirit was supposed to be the center.

Complete motion and resonance

When two entities vibrate at the same frequency, this creates resonance.  Our internal self, which lives for eternity, plus our external self which is to live in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, should be able to resonate centered on love.

In resonance, sound waves coincide and become intertwined while circling the center core.  Likewise, when the spirit self and the physical self harmonize with each other centered on God's love, the spiritual cells and physical cells engage in perfect motion together.

Therefore, when this resonance is created, our eyes become operational and can see everything in heaven and on earth.  This is because they are engaged in perfect motion.  A microphone's capacity is good and will resonate a hundred percent.  On the same token, if the physical self and the spirit self become one and attain a volatile state through love, then heaven and earth, God and everything else must resonate.




This mind and body unity applies to both men and women.





Since the mand and woman both have a physical and spirit self, together, they represent four entities.

On the other hand, when man and woman are divided and cannot come into unity, then they become four separate people.  Why would God create four people this way when there is such difficulty in their union?

Because originally, man and woman were to center on God's true love and they would achieve perfect unity.

We all possess a spirit self and a physical self.  The spirit self is invisible to our eyes, but it does exist. Then when do these two selves become one?  This is the problem.

It is the same with the tuning fork.  When you strike one of its prongs, then the other prongs vibrate at the same frequency.  When God's love acts upon our good mind, our body will automatically respond like the tuning fork's prongs. If this is how it is once mind and body unity is achieved, it is not God's wisdom, power, or might that will bring the two in resonance, but only through love.

What benchmark is your physical and spiritual senses longing to reach?

It is definitely not God's might nor His wisdom.  His love is the focus for everything.

Live as if You May Die In a Year

Q. Why is it important we need to know about the issue of eternal life?

Shouldn't we just worry about the end of life when we get there?

Don't we have enough issues on earth to deal with before thinking about life in the other world?

Then we can switch to a more earthly base.

Why are families throughout the world being destroyed?  Why do husbands and wives become enemies and children cannot trust their parents?

It is because there is no true love.

The most important thing is eternal life.

There we go again.  We are connecting problems of the world back to the basis of an earthly life.

Why do religions seem to focus more on the after life than the here and now?  The life we can prove exist.

The first question is how are people to understand the the importance of the next world if they do not even believe that it exists?

If a person headed in the wrong direction was to clearly know that he lives for eternity, would he want to commit a crime if he knew he would pay for that misdeed for for eternity?

Yes, everyone at the base has the basic knowledge that they will 'reap what they sow' or believe in some kind of law of Karma.  But what if people were brought the true fact that every deed they do, or seed they plant manifest forever in the other life?

If humanity was to feel this simple truth to the core of their being, we would not be able to just live only for our own selfish ways  in this world even if you were instructed to do so.

If you are not able to invest in true love or a true life while you are here on earth, it doesn't matter if you practice a religion or are a Christian, you will not be able to live in heaven, God's ideal world.

Heaven begins first how we live on earth.

If our church is armed with the truth of the Principle, the issue of eternal life will become clear. 

If we could not connect to the basic issue of eternal life, then the idea of a social revolution of future change would be impossible.

Issues on earth can be connected to eternal life.  Unfortunately, what was a basic human truth was severed when humanity turned in the wrong direction, to an evil path.

If we are to approach such issues as poverty from the perspective of eternal life, we will be able to overcome environmental conditions. This is why the principles which religion teaches are so great which connect to eternal life.

Before religions could digest the cultural differences and background.  This was because they could not establish a true concept of eternal life and how to apply it to our daily circumstances.

You may see that even the faithful and Christians are shaken when their circumstances are changed.  This is because of they do not have any confidence in regard tot he concept of the after life.  When we place our whole focus on goals for the here and now or our life on earth, it is easy to not be focused on eternal issues.  Christianity built its foundation on the back of saints and a people who sacrificed their lives to push God's dispensation forward.

Can Christians now lay down their lives in order to overcome their circumstances?  They now are backsliding into living to satisfy their present needs on earth and their social obligations which leave no roots or traditions for future generations.  They experience distractions coming from all directions.  unless the proper concept of eternal life is well planted in these people, they will fall away from this difficult path of attendance to God and the Messiah.

What can turn this wrong path people of faith are taking?

Only love alone can do this.  We are are the ones who can completely accomplish this task.  We understand that our path of faith is not preparation for life on earth, but for a life in the eternal world.  People who have this conviction to set their life path to live the correct way for the next world can take care of themselves in this world.

After we pass the age of 40 and fifty, the day that we will die draws closer and the more serious people become about the issues of eternal life.  Some may become serious about how they have wrongfully spent their time on temporary things and have not yet left anything behind.

The older people get, the more serious they become.  As we get older, the thinking becomes dim, but when one has a strong concept about the eternal world, they will become more serious with age instead.  In the future, only those who have have a religious ideology can lead this world.  Those who are able to maintain an absolute concept about the eternal world will be able to face changing circumstances and the ups and downs of life without any problems.

Our lifetime and the issue of eternal life

Have you ever wondered how long you think you will live?

Everyone may think that they will live to the age of seventy or eighty and don't think about dying before then.  Yet, we may have these feelings, but we really do not know whether we will die tomorrow or even later today.

Young people may think that they will live at least to forty or fifty years old.  Did God guarantee that you would live to a certain age?

You should live as if you might possibly die soon or perhaps within a year.  Therefore, you should make all the necessary preparations during this short time and live with such a thought.  The shorter the time you think you have, the happier you will be and the less you will have to lose in life.

Your sincere preparations during this time become the building blocks of your home for your eternal life. 

Have you ever loved God in such a way that you thought you only had a short time in mind to do so?

If you are able to live this way, then you will become the master of eternal life when you die.  If you had the thought that you will die in two years, how serious would you make plans or live from day to day?

You would start visiting cemeteries and attending funeral services.

In our life of faith, it is absolutely necessary to do prepare in this way.  This is where the Principle applies.  If you are able to think about dying for God's will and for heaven during this short time that we spend on earth, you will thus live eternally.  This is where the Principle applies.

Wouldn't a man who once believed that he would die single and unmarried, suddenly received a loving life before he died, how grateful would he be?

You should leave something behind that God can praise, while you go forward to immediate death under God's order.  You would feel that your time on earth is too precious to spend just sleeping and eating.

You would not waste your time worrying, even if you wanted to.  You will be able to live your lives with greater value the more you think that you only have a short time to live.

What value is there in loving someone, a family or a tribe?

Loving others creates a textbook for loving all of humankind.

Love is a textbook to loving everybody in the spirit world that transcends time and space.

How do you plant the concept of eternal life?

God created Adam and Eve to be His objects of love, therefore, we should live as objects of God's love.  We do not just talk about it, but feel it and experience it deeply.

Once you know the great power of true love, you would willingly go this way even if someone told you not to do so.

When you plant the idea of life after this one, that there is another life after this one, everything will be complete.  This idea will vibrate through your mind and your body will resonate harmony with the mind to the same level.  Adolescence is when such things happen.


The Fall occurred at the age of adolescence, so the years leading up to the age of 16 are unaffected.  The age before 16 is the standard of original nature and remains intact.

Therefore, you should get acquainted with God during your adolescence.

In doing so, you will become inseparable with Him.  This happens based on the your understanding that this life is not the end and there is an eternal life we live based on how we lived on earth.

Our descendants would follow no other path but this if they went this way even if they were told not to do so.

Therefore, we must save the world and quickly bring about a heavenly nation.

This becomes your possession in the other world.

Also, your rank is determined in proportion to how many people you have witnessed and brought there.  That is why heaven is empty right now and the rest of the lower spirit world is being filled daily.

Humankind seeks eternal life

What is the purpose of living this way of life?

A life of faith consists of seeking the world of eternal life.  Our faith involves us seeking God's eternal love.  To unite with eternal life along with eternal love, we must seek where God's joy can be felt as our own joy. This is the way of faith.

The most important thing in this life of faith, the degree to which we can live life with a progressive love and vitality.

Your value as a human is determined by how much you perceive sensations through your five senses in relation to life and love.

Therefore, we should think about whether we have lived in society with an added heart of love.

If you are not standing in such a position, then you are at a standstill or in a position in retreat.

Eternal life and religion

Human beings have the gift of eternal life.

Religion has expanded throughout the entire world and passes through all kinds of circumstances, which include different cultural backgrounds and customs.

That is the central issue concerning eternal life moreso than a person's earthly lifetime.

 

People should live together with the universe during their life.

 

 

 

 

Life is short, amounting only to one hundred years.

Your life does not disappear after your life on earth ends.  Once you are able to overcome that boundary, you can continue to live in the realm going beyond the bounds of the global village that once defined our limits here on earth.

An eternal life sympathizes with and helps humankind who have lived in suffering until now.  Religion is necessary.   We have to resolve the issue of God in matters of eternal life.

All of these matters are interconnected.

A Prayer for Your Life of Faith

Beloved Heavenly, Father, I thank You for Your grace, and for shielding me while I experience struggle from my childhood until now.  During those years, I have been apprehensive of any humiliation or shame that Heaven might suffer.

There is nothing among all the good things on this earth more precious than connecting to Your original heart.

Knowing this, we should eternally have a longing for that relationship with You.

We should keep in mind that those who experience Your love will have no regrets, even if they forget about all the things of this world.

We must now seek the ideal world which You created, the original homeland where we live by Your love.

We must prepare today while on earth for our third life as liberated children endowed with the authority of freedom.

Just as we needed to be healthy in the womb in order to be born with a healthy life on earth, we need a wholesome earthly life to have a wholesome life in heaven.

The world today is a world of conflict dominated by evil.  

We must be resolved to fight to the death in order to be blessed with the cooperation of heaven and earth and to keep in step with the dynamics of fortunes of the universe.

We must resolve that our descendants will never have to be placed in such a sorrowful position as we have been suffering under the dominion of sin.

Beloved Father, when we reflect on how you have toiled to usher in a new spring, we should become Your infinitely grateful and joyous daughter and sons who lament over the fact we could not offer our entire life and love to You.

In our predestined relationship with You, our lives were meant to be harmonized, and completed by You so that we too may greet the new spring.

Only when we greet spring for the first time is when the flowers bloom.  Just as flowers go through summer and autumn before bearing fruit and blooming, we too are to undergo a similar process to bear fruit.

For a tree to bear any fruit, it absorbs life elements through the roots, trunk and branches in the summer.

There, it concentrates a perfect life to bring forth a second life.

Similarly, we must become sons and daughters who are introspective and determine whether we have a life for which swells up in our hearts capable of rebirth in a new world even if our bodies should die.

No matter how much time passes or how much the storm rages, our inner life force must withstand the intrusions of the environment and persevere persistently on the path of growth.

Only in this way, can we welcome the new spring and become a seed, that is the original source of a second life, which can be planted again.

Even though we may look pathetic externally, if we maintain our value as the original essence that can enhance the spiritual life force as a seed that can be planted in the eternal world, we are no longer miserable people even though we may think we are.

Please allow us to realize that the more miserable we appear, the more the value of our internal selves becomes complete and guaranteed..

Father, we realize that if we do not have the desire to serve and bow humbly before You, we can have no relationship with You in the eternal world.

Please, open the doors of our heart to feel Your heart and hear Your voice welling up from the depths of our hearts.  Guide us to regain our lost bodies today.

Father, help us to appreciate Your historical course of toil and trouble to find each of us that we can then humbly bow our heads before You.

Why We Should Live Eternally

Do you believe that we will live for eternity after we shed our bodies on earth? Many movies about vampires is appealing to those who have the desire to live eternally on earth.

But who wants such restrictions of a non-living body that can only come out at night and feed off of the blood of others?

For those who are religious, it is commonly accepted that there is a life after this one, and has a much better ideal than a night creature tale.

What kind of creature did God create human beings?

He created us as the objects of His love who is able to posses His absolute and unique value.  This is an amazing fact, unfortunately, how much value is placed on a person these days?  We have practically been reduced to a worth of a few pennies.

Originally, God's children were to have much more worth.  Their value was so precious that life could not be exchanged even for the entire universe.

People are born from, live in, and die in love. However, they do not just disappear.

Since God as the subject being is eternal, thus, human beings who are his objects of love who stand in front of Him should also live eternally.  From this point, the theory of life after death, or eternal life originated; it did not begin with life.

What kind of person is a true person?

A true person receives love completely in the position of God's child by becoming one with Him inside and out.

We can say that the way of life of people in step with God is the way of a true life.

All people desire the best, no matter what position they have.

When  you are able to reach the highest position, God belongs to you, and you belong to Him.  Then you become God's child and you become God Himself, thus, even the universe belongs to you.

If there is something that God loves and treasure most, would God have made it where it was easily thrown away after 100 years or spent just a day with it?  God invested all of Himself in humanity because we were to live with Him eternally.

We are the object partners of God who can feel joy from us in absolute love.  If God were to have such a liking for them for one or two days, or hundred years and throw them away thereafter never to think of them again, this is not true love.

The more you love someone, the more you want to be with that person.

Is there a man who will remain single for life after his wife died.  He would carry her handkerchief in remembrance.  Nehru of India had lost his wife when she was young. He wore a rose the rest of his life because his wife loved roses.

Since God did not create such complex beings to be cast away out of existence, there must be a basic principle that human beings live eternally.

We must stand on the foundation of an action where a stronger power can , in order to live eternally emitted.

The more love is given as the days pass, the more love that is given back and received, rather than depleting.  The power of love becomes stronger and greater.

Life will not end only in happiness but can expand to an unlimited happiness.

This world is the nation that we have come to idealize where God dwells.

Do you want eternal life?

Perhaps you only mildly wish for eternal life.  If you have something precious, you will bring it with you when you seek refuge.  You would not stop being proud of it after a day or two.

When it is time for you to pass onto the next world, you will want to leave this precious treasure to your descendants for eternity.  That is the same for God.

Since God is an absolute, eternal being, then His object partner He can love should also live eternally.  That is why people have longed for eternal life since time cannot remember.  Therefore, the Absolute Being cannot help, but look for a loving son and daughter who possess the value of eternal life.  We humans resemble God as His masterpiece.

Since God is eternal and we also have an eternal nature, our heart does not become old.  Have you ever thought about your heart aging or not?

Therefore, human beings should live eternally. Only when they can live eternally, can they have the value of existence as that masterpiece.

Therefore, human beings are the lords of creation.  Spirit comes from this place.  Human beings should live eternally, therefore, we cannot just think of our existence ends after 100 years.

Living for the sake of eternal life

People live however they want in their own way centered on their own thinking, not God's

Living means your everyday life.

Lifetime means your entire life.  Furthermore, religious people use the same word 'eternal life'.  Eternal life means not a lifetime but a life that continues eternally.

Eternal life means a life that continues eternally.  Then it is important how you connect on your life course with eternal life.  Doing so is your life responsibility.  A lifetime determines through linking each day to the next.  Your entire life is the sum of continuous days in your life.

What content determines if your whole entire life was determined to be value?  It is not determined after you have gone through all your life well?  This means we purposely live the days which represent the entire course of your life.  If you say you have lived life well today, it means that it was memorable day in your life, that you can be proud of.  When you say that you lived well, tat day would surely be the most valuable day in your entire life course.  If you were to see a day that you could live with value, it would be an unforgettable day in your life as well.

What is the theory of eternal life?

God is wise.  If God did not create the ideology for love, He would be alone and depressed for eternity; He would be a god who could not feel joy, anger, sorrow or happiness.

God, who has lost this absolute love through the fall has stood in a serious, appalling and absolutely miserable position that no one has ever experienced throughout history.  No one was there to comfort Him the moment that all of His creation and children were taken from Him.

God is not satisfied with just recreating an ideal shape and form of His dreams and then resurrecting His original son and daughter whom He desires.  He should be able to decorate the ideal more brilliantly and express it beautifully as He travels great distances while embracing that ideal.  That is how He created the entire universe.

When the atmosphere falls into an absolute low pressure area, then a high pressure area is automatically created which brings about a circulatory movement. God is the King of wisdom, and greatest scientist.

The theory of eternal life is an logically foundation, because the eternal circulation beings through that principle of automatic circulation.  When you invest, invest, and invest some more, the theory of eternal life will begin.

Those who live for the sake of others will not perish.

God's eternal object partner we allude to the ancient saying, "Among all creation, human beings are the most precious."  This brings about the longing for the partner of love who unites with the Creator's eternal love where He lives forever.

Eternal life is the natural product of this theory.  Eternal life begins from this point.  Based on the relationship of love, how to establish a theory of eternal life is the problem which sets up an precious debate in religion.
Eternal life cannot be found in either the man or the woman.  Eternal life is not even found in God, but it is only found in love.

The most important issue of eternal life

Modern Christianity states that if you just believe in Jesus, then you automatically attain eternal life.

In order for one to be able to live for eternity, one must carry on with a continuous action.  In order to walk the path of life eternally, the circulation system such as the veins and arteries of the heart should function normally.

Also, all of the nervous system and all the actions of the cerebrum should also function normally.  This requires a tremendous amount of consumption to keep this in working order.

When it is time for you to go to bed after you take off your shoes, are you confident that you will be there to put them back on again in the morning?  No matter how busy you say you are, there is nothing in this world that is more important than the issue of eternal life.

Only, we have been inundated throughout our entire lives with unnecessary trivial happenings that we  do not place much importance on the life hereafter.

Either way, there is not quest in this material world that is more serious than to resolve the problem of eternal life.

Ultimately, human beings must return to eternal life

We each has the responsibility to dissolve the problems of the Fall by establishing the way of True Parents' love who have laid a strong foundation based on Jesus' path, who have reversed the mistakes of the Fall and passing it on to humanity.

Only after we establish a family of true love over which God can reign, can you go straight to heaven.  When we see the reality of the path of restoration, we do not spend our life on earth wasted on trivial matters.

The rails of God's Kingdom on earth and in heaven must all be the same.  A train can run only when the rails are the same.  In the same way, in the heavenly world, there must be the path which connects God's Kingdom on earth with His kingdom in heave; this is the path of true love.

Consequently, the path of an individual takes, and then the path of a family takes.  These two should be connected and then their direction be consistent with each other.

Therefore, everything we do in our lifetime, becomes a permanent fastened to his rear end as a record of how well we have performed for the sake of true love.  Thus, when a person passes to the spirit world, he comes to dwell at the same level which corresponds to the achievements he left behind in his lifetime.

Faith and the issue of eternal life

How does one live for eternity?

You can only be saved through love.  Only a true woman can be God's partner in love.  Therefore, if someone has true love, he must be able to live for eternity.  Once you enter the realm of that love, whether you are in the spirit world or on earth, you must come to know where you should live.

Even rats of a ship know to escape to dry land.  Even though they are small creatures, they can distinguish which is the right way to take and go in that direction when faced with matter of life and death.

Why have humans who were created to become the lords of all creation, come to be as corrupt as they are?  It was because of the Fall.

How are you going to remove this mask of the Fall or free yourself from the devil's love, life and lineage?

To free yourself means to break free from something holding you back from life.

We need to completely break free from and stand in the position to have no relations or common base with Satan.

A mother in her nineties will tell her seventy year old son to be careful of the cars, and be safe.  She can say this until she reaches the ripe age of ninety.  She will not get tired of saying it even if she were to continue for eternity.

What is the motivating power behind a mother's careful warnings?  It is love. If parental  love is like that between fallen people, what would our life be like if we were able to belong to God's true highest love in His original world?

When we are able to reach the state, then the realm belonging to the true object of God can be established for the first time.  When we come to know that God's love is eternal and unchanging, we can validate the theory of eternal life centering on our human love.  We live eternally centering on love.

 

Return for Tomorrow's Post: How to Breakthrough Hell

This post was derived from the book Cheon Seong Gyeong Book Five, Chapter One The Existence of Human Beings, Section 5

The Nobility of Life on Earth

We all know the tale about the beginning of the world from the creation of light to the first breath of the human being from the earth.  But we have taken these Bible verses themselves in the wrong context.

The Bible account of God creating the world shows that God said the world was good after creating Adam and Eve.

It was the same as placing His signature after the completion of a project. This means that it was the way He had wanted the world to be.

At that time Heaven and Earth were not separated and evil did not exist.

Therefore, God intended that humanity would not fight among themselves and that we would not be separated from the spiritual world or heaven.

Instead, humanity has inherited a mind and body that fights for the number one position - to be subject the human.  Therefore, God created religion to teach us to strike our body and make it submit to the direction of our good mind.

We must cross over from the evil realm into goodness.

The complete victory of our body means that Satan will be completely extinguished and uprooted from our bodies and life.

That day of victory has been fought for by thousands of saints, sages and people of faith.

We will finally subjugate Satan.  We can only go to heaven through conquering Satan.

We are unable to conquer Satan once we pass on to the next world.  The evils that are bound here on earth will also be bound in heaven.

The original world, earth and heaven would be one in the same.

This means that we would be able to see a person who passed into the spirit world because this was God's original plan.  There would have been no earthquakes, floods and such if we just obey our creator's word over the evil one.

Because of the Fall where we separated from heaven and God while on earth, the problem of sin must be remedied while we have a body on earth.

Therefore, we cannot subjugate Satan without a physical body.

If we do not accomplish our designated tasks while on the earth where the problems were created, then we will end up in eternal hell.

On the other hand, when you triumph on earth and stand on the heavenly side of goodness, you can go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Life on earth is to prepare us for life in the spirit world

You must understand how short a time we have on earth compared to the eternal life that awaits us.

Which would be more fruitful to sacrifice for: the world of the temporary here and now, or the one that will last unto eternity?

Once you realize this fact, your hours become precious when not spent as much on eating and sleeping and worrying about the temporal.

The more you live realizing each moment is precious and live it for other's sake, the more the blessing you will receive - more than anyone else in the whole wide world.

Even though we have a limited time on earth of possibly eighty to a hundred years, our possessions which represent the creation, thus, belong to the world.  Can you assert that you will be able to take your possessions or any notoriety into the next world?

Our bodies are the bodies of all the people of the world, and our minds are the minds of all the people of the world.  All of these combine to make an altar before God. Such a heart that lives this way is one with God.

Things do not happen by chance. Preparation is never easy. 

When we look at a life as a whole, we see that childhood is the time to prepare for adolescence, the prime of our life is to prepare for old age, which in turn is the time to prepare to go to the spirit world.

Therefore, we can see that our life is a training course that prepares us to acquire an universal personality.

We live in this world; yet it is not the only world that exists. 

We live on earth, but our spirit bodies live in the spirit world at the same time.

That is right.  As you are sitting and reading this, your spiritual body is interacting with the spirit world of spirit even though you live on the solid earth.

The world of spirit should be integrated together rather than in two separate worlds which was caused by the disobedience of our first ancestors.

Where do we go and live for eternity after the shedding of our bodies?

While living physically on earth, we proceed into the eternal world.

Ordinarily, people are born into this world, go through the time of youth, reach their prime and then enter old age.

Life passes like the setting sun.

Those who know the reality of the spirit world know that their lifetime is but a fleeting moment compared to eternal life after death.

Knowing this, our lifetime prepares us to welcome the world of eternity with God.

A student's performance is measured by the schools set standards based on the credits they are expected to take in an academic year.

If students do not get a high grade, they fail in accordance with the standard of merit which the school sets.

Everything can be measured by means of some norm.

Life on the physical world is parallel to the period which we prepare ourselves to meet the standard of 'credits' throughout life.

During our lifetime, we are ever striving to accumulate achievements.  The measure stick determines to what extent we have been able to fulfill our responsibility.

Do not do the hard task of digesting problems for just your own sake, rather for the sake of God, your nation, tribe, family and spouse.

Self-centered living is fraught with worries.

Conversely, if you constantly devote yourself to the welfare of others to the point you empty yourself out, you become a vacuum, and the truth will come into you.

Our pride is we have true love and secondly, we have True Parents who have reversed the mistake of the fall of the first false parents Adam and Eve.

We are the only ones to have this term, it is not in the dictionary.  Third is true children and fourth is a true tribe.  These relate to the four main goals of life of faith.

The preciousness of our life on earth

If you are liberated, God will be liberated.

Also, if your family is liberated, so is the heavenly family. It is the same with earth and heaven.  Accordingly,  the biblical statement, "Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven," refers to being able to liberate problems while on earth or wasting your life and keeping the problems which will stay with you when you get to heaven.

We must truly understand the preciousness of life on earth where you can make use of your body to restore back to its original God-given nature.

Our body gives us the opportunity to resurrect God and the universe and to unite the world.

God and the creation as a whole can never be exchanged for the value of life on earth.

Because if humankind did not exist physically on earth, God and the universe would be incomplete.

We must realize how precious the body is.

We cannot trade our physical selves even for the universe.  The biblical verse speaks about using your time on earth wisely, "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his eternal life?

What can a man give in exchange for his life?"

What has equal value to a human life?  Right now, it seems like material goods such as phones and sneakers have taken over the value of a human life.

The average lifespan does not exceed hundred years.

Within that short time which has been allotted to us, we must grip the historical realms of goodness which were entangled in history.

When we see the realm of goodness we are suppose to bond with during our time on earth, our mind and conscience must move forward to align to that standard.

Once we die and pass to the spirit world, we cannot do the work of restoring ourselves without the aid of a person who possesses a  physical body.

It may be difficult to get rid of a sin or a habit on earth and it is even 10, 000 times difficult once it is bound to you after death.

We can find the original homeland of God and serve the heavenly sovereignty and live in His nation, then we can enter God's Kingdom of heaven.

The spirit world is infinite and eternal.

How should we manage how we live in order to live in the heavenly realm?

We must put our life in order while we still have a physical body, once we enter spirit world, there is no opportunity to straighten things out.

A self-centered way of restoration does not exist, if so, then suffering would not exist.  Even a millenia from now, God's principle is the one and only way to go to heaven.

Those failing to fulfill in this way during their lifetimes, will have to make up for it in the spirit world which can take thousands of years.

Imagine if someone had a problem with women or killing people with words, they get anger management classes or go to AA meetings and still struggle.  It is thousands of times harder to rid a sin in spirit world as restoration only takes place through a human body.

Habitually doing things in life is important

Let us make a pledge today to renounce the awful habits of the satanic world and usher in God's new order centered on the sake of living for others.

It is very difficult to break a habit.  While we live in the satanic world now, you have come to enjoy self-centered habits, living individually for only yourself and your small circle of family and friends.

These habits harden like cement attaching to the body, becoming even more deeply ingrained into our lives more than any addiction such as cigarette smoking.  Continuously interrupting and hating people

Since the devil has emerged, our habits have become very deeply rooted in our lives.  Even if we want to stop a certain behavior, it takes much effort to do so.

How will we be able to eradicate these hardcore habits we've acquired?                                                                                              
No matter how deep you dig a pit, you still cannot get to the root of this serious problem.

In order to go to heaven, you need to replace all your bad habits with God-centered habits.

The standard of life on earth

My life is for the sake of God and the world. Do not think of living for yourselves. Live for God, True Parents and humanity. True love is indispensable for you in forming a four-position foundation with God, True Parents and humanity. They all desire true love. You should become people who can inherit this true universe centered on true love. We need to bear this in mind constantly.


We, therefore, should evaluate how much we have lived conformed to the heavenly standard until now.

You should become people who represent humanity, the True Parents and God.

If you are able to live this way, you will not be restricted by borderlines and will be able to move freely between the spirit world and anywhere on earth. This is closer to the ideal of Heaven on earth which God envisioned in the beginning.

If you wish to dine with a thousand friends, such an experience is possible in the world of love.

When God exercised His power as the Creator, He did centered on love.  In the spirit world, once you connect with true love, you are able to regulate and create everything.

This is our ideal hometown.  Unless you make a connection with true love, everything will be in vain.

Everything will be recorded through the physical body

If you lived two-thirds of your life in an unspeakably miserable position, will you be able to erase that?

You cannot.  These experience stay with you.  In order to restore the problems and sins of the past, we need indemnity. Indemnity or redemption is how we pay back for a wrong done. Restoration is also re-creation.

You should leave behind a life of value. 

Some people want to enjoy themselves and have a good time. They say that they will believe in Jesus when they get older so when they die they can go to heaven.

But it is more difficult to change bad behavior or habits the older one gets.  Therefore, the younger the better: it is more valuable to know the truth when you are fifteen rather than twenty.  It is even more so to grow up knowing the truth from infancy.

Is the water that is inside your bodies, pure or dirty?

After a heavy seasonal rainfall, rivers and streams become dirty, likewise you are full of all kind of impurities.

Thus, you need to go through the stirring and straining process like a filtration system.

We should not become egoistical, otherwise we build a blockage.

If our bodies accumulate excessive dirt, then even the filter can be clogged up and the water will be unable to flow completely.

Did you know that you would be inspected with a system like an X-ray machine when you go to the spirit world?

God needs people that have already passed through the filtration system.

Life on earth is so important

If you are unable to fulfill your responsibilities while on earth, you will enter a probation realm in the spirit world where you will live for some millennia.

You go to the place in spirit world which is consistent to the level which you stay for a long time.

Then your ancestors and your sons and daughters will come to you and accuse you why did you live a certain way when you could have lived better.  The time you spend in that place depends on the level you have accomplished while on earth.

This is not an easy task, this is why you have to do everything through the Principle while on earth.

A bolt requires an matching nut in order for it be fastened properly.  Only when the nut fits can it be fastened, understand?  This is the same with your life and activities on earth and the different levels in spirit world.

How important is life on this earth?

It is just a spark of a moment that comes only once when compared to eternity. This moment is insignificant, therefore, you have to go beyond your physical life and prepare for the spirit world.

You must always be able to control and conquer everything by standing in the center upholding the standard of the Principle.  Without being able to do so, you cannot achieve individual perfection.

Using our physical selves to fulfill our portion of responsibility

You should think about God and the standard of  True Parents in your daily life.

By doings so, your mind and body can stand within a harmonious, stable and fulfilled sphere of love.

Those who are able to live in such a realm of love, naturally do the same in the spirit world.  The level of the expansion of your internal life will come out on the surface in the spirit world.

God and human beings are like one cell of the body since our love is internalized.

The spirit world is the world, where you become one of those cells, where God will come inside your heart.

When you call out, "God!", He will surely answer in your heart, "What is it?"  In other words, spirit world is the world, where you live with God unlimited by the body for eternity.

Therefore, your responsibility while on earth is very important.

That is why I established the principle of the portions of responsibility for restoration. Whenever you look at yourself in the mirror in the morning, you should consider how you, as a man or woman, are going to fulfill your portion of responsibility. It is a serious matter.


All five senses are enraptured in the love which is gained after accomplishing your portion of responsibility.

All your senses operate within a substantial realm of love.

What should you do to accomplish your portion of responsibility?  What do you do to become such people?

You should be able to stand in a position to deny everything that was born of the satanic world of emotional ties with Satan.

We live in a world where the lines are blurred of what is good, godly behavior and what is satanic.  We should learn what behaviors draws us closer to God.

What happens once a person passes to the spirit world?

He becomes God's body.  Adam becomes God's body once he unites with God.  This is what Jesus meant when he said, "The Father is in me."  This does not mean that they were one being, but they had become united through Jesus becoming perfected in God's love.

First Corinthians, "Do you know that you are Father's temple," confirms that the body is the holy temple where God is suppose to dwell.  Our body is meant to be God's house, not a house for Satan's deceitful deeds and behaviors.

How can one come to resemble God?

When you are able to reach the stage where you complete your portion of responsibility, then God dwells within you, creating a oneness between you and God.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Jesus and Spirit World This post was rewritten and derived from the book Cheong Seong   Gyeong Book Five, Chapter one, Section 4

We Must Understand Death, Not Fear It

Many people fear death because they do no know where they may end up.

They do not know what to expect on the other side.  Once we are able to have a clear understanding, then we can prepare for life in the coming spirit world.

There is no doubt that the spirit world exists and once we shed our physical bodies, we will go there for eternity.

Since we were born from the spirit world, we must return there.

The meaning of the Korean word toraganda

The Korean word toraganda (literally means to return, to die).  This is interesting.

Where do we return?

Some people literally believe that our final destination is literally to just return to the soil and nothing else is waiting us after death.

Our purpose in life is not to end up in a cemetery as many have come to believe.  Someone who is born in Korea, for example, does not return on that path as one.

Then we return to the original world that brought forth our ancestors.

This means, we will return to the place where the Creator is.  

That is where we came from, so that is where we return.

The universe is always engaged in circular motion.

The snow covering the mountains melt in the spring time and flows down through the small valleys into the ocean and through many streams and rivers.

Later, the flow enters the ocean where it evaporates and returns to complete the cycle once more.

Everything in creation circulates.  When one returns, where do they go?

We all wish to return to a place where we can be higher and better.  No one wants to dwindle and become smaller, however, all the laws of motion in the natural world dictate that everything diminishes through action.

When we roll something, it does not roll for eternity.  First, it rolls rapidly, then decelerates and finally stops.

The place to which we must go

Even though we live in this world, it is not the only world in which we exist.

We also currently live in the spirit world.

Not many understand this outstanding fact. As you are living on earth, you also have a spirit body living within your physical body which also lives in spirit world.

The world of spirit should not have become two separate worlds, they should be integrated.

Then where is the place in which we are to go and finally live?

Everyday where we live physically on earth we are proceeding toward the eternal world.

Ordinarily, people are simply born into this world, pass through their teen years and then reach their prime and enter old age.  This end of one's life is like the setting sun rising on the horizon and settling on the other side.

Those who do know the reality of the spirit world, know that this lifetime is but a breath in comparison to the eternal life after death.

This being said, our lifetime serves to prepare us to welcome the world of eternity, not to settle here forever.

The day we pass on is a precious day

If Adam and Eve were able to follow God, a world of peace would have developed and their family would have set the tradition for that world.

If humanity was able to become a global unified world, then special days such as Adam's birthday, wedding day and the day he returns to the spirit world would have been holidays where humanity would celebrate as a unified brotherhood of one people.

They would have become a people that lived in one world where heaven and earth did not separate because they would have become one with God instead of being banished from heaven.

If this had happened, Adam's family life would have been inherited by all of humanity.  His family would set the tone for the culture formed at that time and we would inherit this tradition eternally.

The spiritual connection of life and death

No matter how hard you try to avoid death or however rich you are, we each will die when our time comes.  People enter the spirit world in different stages.

Some go in their ripe old age, while others die tragic, untimely deaths.

Among the latter are those who die due to punishment or to pay indemnity for their ancestors' or the sins of the people of the world.

For example, if three prominent young people that live in one city die all at once, a good fortune will come to that city.  If three youth who had great promise for the future of one clan die, good fortune will come to that clan.

In other words, indemnity must be paid for past sins in order for humanity to go forward, just like any bank account.

Even though Jesus paved a way for salvation from our sins on the cross, humanity still sin.  Therefore, we must on an individual and societal level pay for these sins and eradicate them from earth once and for all.

This principle applies everywhere and to all.

If God chooses a central figure such as Moses who has the equal value to that of a thousand people, he will let him walk the path of death.

If those thousand people are able to follow him while inspired by his grace and virtue, their entire race will enter the same blessed realm as he.

The reason people try to discover the thoughts of patriots and sages and follow them is to enter the same realm of their blessing.

Last year, several members went to the spirit world. This year, several more will go there. Although I have not talked about it, I know of this already. Why does this happen? Because when we go up one stage, we cannot avoid paying indemnity for past sins. 


Of all the people who have been born on earth, there are those who live with hope and those who live without being able to have hope.

There are two kind of hope: humanistic hope and God-centered hope.

From the first day we are born, we grow up thinking that our mother's bosom are the best thing in the world.

But once we leave her bosom and come to have friends, then we think our friends are the best thing.  Nevertheless, we end up parting even from our friends.

As we grow older, neither loving parents, nor a loving spouse, nor loving children can completely satisfy our hopes.

We all have hopes for many thing, but eventually all those hopes will vanish.

We have hopes for our family, our country, or even the world, however, as we get older, our hopes fade away.

There are many on earth who live with a firm conviction that their entire hope, the hope which they cannot live apart from, is worth losing their lives to bring to fruition.

People are destined to have to fight and go beyond death after living life as it is known.

People entertain all kinds of hope in their lives.

Only, when they face death toward the end and pass away, they abandon all the hopes they had fostered.

They wandered about seeking this hope they cherished, wishing to live today and tomorrow to see it come to fruition.

Once they come upon death, though, all their hopes fade away, then they fall into despair as they see their final path before them.

From a person's own viewpoint, they seem to have hope for a bright future, but they are unable to have a hope which they can go over the summit of death.  They disappear without having such a hope no matter how hard they worked for the cause.

Should we die understanding this pattern of life, or will we seek a hope that lasts where we laugh even in the face of death?  These questions are important for all people on earth to think about these days..

All things of this world will pass away. 

Our families, nations and even the world itself will pass away.  Ideologies and philosophies, too, will pass away.

Then what remains?

It is the hope where we can fight and win over death.  If we are unable to have this hope,  we might see ourselves as failures in life.

If there is a group of people who since their birth, reject all the hopes that satanic, secular people desire including all humanistic wants, and they are able to live embracing heavenly hope, they should not live embracing earthly hope.

They should live dreaming of and cherishing the eternal world of that can conquer even death, not this earthly life which is only a breath in comparison.

Death in relation to the value of life

Those who seek to live do not, those who seek to die seeking the value of life clinging to God while at the crossroads of life and death will not.

The word 'death' invites an understanding of the meaning of life.

Who knows the value of life very well?

In today's world, there are many who end their own lives by taking sleeping pills. Do more women commit suicide or more men?

More women.  Why?

Because women tend to have an one-track mind.

No matter how ugly a man may be, he is able to approach a problem from different perspectives.

Women can only see one way out of a problem, but men avoid death by finding all viable alternatives as a solution.

As such,  they have a lower suicide rate then women.

Death is a process to link three worlds

It is only natural that we want to resemble our Father God.  God also wants us to resemble His characteristics.  This is why we want to resemble God and He wants to take us with Him.

We are searching in the dark looking for a way to make this union possible with God.

Therefore, we must be reborn into a pure body that allows us to resemble God.

Both God and humankind are waiting and hoping for this day of rebirth.

Such a day is necessary.  What day would this be?  It would be the day of one's death.

If the day of death is the day that we resemble God, would this be a day to welcome or a day of sadness?

First, what is the purpose of death?  We die for the sake of True Love.

Originally, God purposed death not for us to live a life of sadness, but as a rebirth to welcome His children to eternally live with Him.

At that time, we discard our physical body in order to participate in God's realm of infinite love.

Our bodies are very limited, but in the spirit there are no limits to how one takes in the experience of God's fullness of love.

We go to spirit world for the sake of God's world of love.

Death is a time of rebirth from the world of air, to the world of love.

But in the world today, we clamor in our death and scream out, "Oh, I'm dying!"

Death is supposed to be the moment you can welcome the joy you feel by being able to leave the realm of limited love and enter the realm of infinite love.

The moment of death, is the moment of your rebirth.

Therefore, God would be joyful about the day of birth from your physical body.

He would react joyfully upon the hour you are born as His true son who is to act with a heart of infinite love in the second world.

You might wonder why I talk about such things that are 'depressing'. You cannot establish a relationship with God without liberating yourself from the fear of death.


Death was not part of the creation in order to bring fear, but to bring His children closer to Him for eternity.  Why do we come to fear such a natural process?  This fear of death came about after we left our heavenly position as God's true children and created hell centered on Satan's will and words.

As humans, we go through three stages: formation, growth and completion.  We begin in the realm of water in our mother's womb, then the realm of air on planet earth, and finally the realm of flying in love in heaven.

The period within the womb is the time the fetus floats in the depths of water.  We draw in and expel this water and live by the cord attached to the stomach.

The fetus is nourished through the navel which functions as a mouth.

We should be disdainful of the navel for taken such pains for us in the past.  If you pat your navel several times, your health will improve.  If you sleep in a cold room, but you cover your navel, you won't get diarrhea.

During the time of the womb, your navel functioned as your mouth and as the breathing organ.

When we are born, we must detach the cord.  In the world of spirit world, we are attached to the physical self, like the embryo which feeds off the physical body.  Therefore, we have two bodies: a spirit body, and a physical body.

As the physical body grows old, the spirit self comes out and eventually discards the physical body.

When we are about to be born, we become the object of love of the mother and father.  Likewise, the spirit self must be reborn as a person who can relate to God who is our spiritual True Father.

This is in accordance with fundamental principles and laws.

The earthly world is where the embryo can become friends with its father and mother after it is born.

We are born on the earthly plane and share love with our mother and father.

Likewise, when we are born in the spirit world, there we can share love with God, the Parent by whom we connect ourselves with the infinite world.

Those who did not live a life connected to God while on earth will find it hard to breathe the air of love in the spirit world.

We go through a period of water, the period of land and finally settle in the period of flying.

How many thousands of years have people longed for the time we would see a human fly?  Such a person would be the world's greatest attraction.

Those who breathe in love on the earth are not dead but alive. 

Once we abandon the placenta which is connected to the navel, we are born to a new, higher dimensional world.

Air is supplied on this larger plane.  We come out and immediately receive a supply of air.  Even a baby screams at leaving the comfortable world of water into an unknown world.  Just the same we fear the unknown world that lays before us.

Then what will you develop after coming out of the womb?  It is not air, but love you receive elements of love.

Therefore, you should not just live your life for eating, that is the way of death.

When you just live to eat and drink and sustain that kind of living, it is only living for the sake filling a bag, a water bag in your physical body.

This kind of living is part of being on the path of death.  It is a secondary existence.

Then what should your life be filled with?

It is not air but love; you receive elements of love while on earth. 

You must form a character of love during your period of growth.

What everyone on earth needs is love, just like the Beatles song.  Why is a child who does not live with parental love called an orphan?

Because he is unable to receive the love that will enable him to be eternally be connected to the next world of love.

Therefore, those who are unmarried people who live on alone are pitiful.

Death means to inherit the elements of love after the destruction of the physical organ through which the body has engaged in breathing through the secondary type of respiratory organ.

Love is invisible.

Just as an embryo is required to grow in order to be normal in the womb, the baby must grow properly once he is born on the earth, as God's laws require.

His internal self will develop based on the parental love they receive and then the conjugal love of their spouse once they have matured into adulthood.

There are many insects that go through three stages in life.

The dragonfly develops in water during their larval stage at first but then they creep on the earth and then fly.
They are then able to prey on bugs that they would have never been able to imagine eating before they had reached that stage.

They are able to flutter freely throughout the universe which they think is their stage.

Insects have wings in general and go through life in the water, on land and in the air.  This time period of swimming in the womb is equal to the time period as humans.

We as humans are supposed to be the lords over creation, but we do not have wings.

Once we pass through the stage of water in the womb, grow during the period of air on the earth, we will receive a set of wings of a higher dimension.

God gave death as the blessed gateway to our second birth.

What is the true meaning of death?

Earthly life, which is the time of living in air, parallels to the time we were once living in the womb.

We are currently living in a wrapping cloth of air.

Death itself is not unique, but only our rebirth into the third life is, because that is the time of transition in which we call death.
