The Love of Siblings Teaches Love of Parent

The ideal of family has changed over the last decades beginning after World War II. You can even see the change in ideals from the 'Leave to Beaver' family structure of mother cooking at home raising the children and the father as the overseer of the family. There are significant reasons why this is so.   God fought a hard battle with Satan in the second world war in order to bring about a world where He could substantially rule. Instead, after winning the battle, Satan was able to claim that foundation because there was no unity with the returning Messiah and the Christian world. In fact, he suffered greatly and was rejected by the established churches. Therefore, he had to walk his own path of 40 years of suffering to establish God's foundation on the earth. If the religious world had followed his directions given from God at that time, based on the teachings of the Divine Principle, the world of peace would have been established in that time. At that time the world of family tradition still followed the ways of God compared to the times of today where divorce, wife swapping and second/third husbands is the new trend. Now we stand on a solid foundation where God can truly come directly to do His work through the foundation of families. Why did God give us family, our brothers and sisters?   Why did He make such a unit? We need brothers and sisters so we can look at them and realize that our mother and father must have been like that when they were younger. Children can see through his brothers and sisters the process of his mother grew up. Sisters can observe elder brothers and understand how her father grew up and lived.  You should know that this is the love among siblings.  You can become one by growing up in this environment.  Should you love your brothers and sisters or not? What if parents have only one son and only one daughter? Then the son needs an elder sister and an elder brother doesn't he? The daughter needs an elder brother and an elder sister. Furthermore, they need a younger brother and young sister. Through them you come to appreciate and love who your parents are. It is unfortunate if you do not have them. What if parents have only one son and one daughter? The son needs an elder sister and an elder brother, doesn't he? Also the daughter needs an elder brother and elder sister. Furthermore, they need a younger brother and younger sister. There needs to be an elder brother, an elder sister, a younger brother, and a younger sister. It is unfortunate if you do not have them. Brotherly love is a model of love for all the people of the world. A family that has a younger sister, younger brother, elder sister and elder brother has achieved complete unity and will receive God's protection. America has moved away from the tradition of larger families and some have even forsook marriage or having children at all. The elder brother and elder sister means east and west, and the younger brother and younger sister mean north and south.  When this pattern is completed there will be three dimensions. This family becomes the origin of a clan, a people, and a nation upon expansion.  When such a principle of love takes root, the origin of peace will be established. When an elder brother loves his younger sister, and the younger sister loves her elder brother, they cannot just love one another, they must also involve their parents in that love. They can cherish their childhood experiences of growing up in the bosom of their parents. They should be a brother and sister who are connected on the basis of parent and child of oneness. Only then will they be able to ascend as they grow up. They should grow up like this all the way through elementary and middle school. However far you go in your travels around the world and throughout life, nothing will be able to replace the love of your brothers and sisters in a family who share the same blood from their birth. When you go out to society, is there anyone who is closer to you than your brother or sister? Although some people may be close, they will eventually drift away from you. Why do you need brothers and sisters? They are those who are connected to the vertical (spiritual) and horizontal (physical) plane. If Adam and Eve are horizontal, then God and Adam and Eve are vertical.  At this intersection it creates a plane. This is why both a horizontal setting and the front and back are needed. Through their unification, a sphere is formed. Therefore, when the love of brothers and sisters expand to a love for all the people of the world, then sibling love transcends family. Only when we can embrace the world and love all people with sibling love,will we join everything together in an ideal sphere of love. When this occurs, no mishap will severely shock us; all the substance of God's thought finally bear fruit. God's ideal of children unites and bears fruit there: the fruit of children's love, the fruit of siblings' love, the fruit of the love of husband and wife and the fruit of parents' love, the fruit of siblings' love, the fruit of the love of husband and wife, and the fruit of parents' love. When God's original world of creation is finally manifested on earth, upper and lower, front and rear, and left and right will be merged with Him. Through brothers and sisters, a nation arises and all humankind arises. The brother and sister relationship signifies front and back like a flat surface, but when flesh is added then a sphere is formed. So, it is brothers and sisters and the people of the nation who from this sphere. Brothers and sisters expand to become a people, and the love of brothers and sisters is connected with the love of the world. A family where there are many brothers and sisters growing up is like a model to embrace all people of the world. This family creates an ideal Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven. Hence, brothers and sisters expand in number.  When there are many siblings, two may have to share a plate at mealtime. They do not fight because there is only one plate of rice. Even if there are many siblings and they have to suffer to live in hardship, if they have such a heart of love that says, "Although I may starve, I will give this to my elder sister," or "I have to give this to my younger brother or sister," then everything will work out very well.

We Imprisoned God's Heart

My own pain and grief are nothing. God has not been able to fulfill His role as God. You must understand that God's bitter tears which melt the marrow of His bones and His bloodstains which spread throughout the course of history are crying out from the ground.

I have been doing this work because I know that the mission remains to liberate God from His anguish.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon

Since humanity caused God such grief, we must liberate God who is confined by love.  It is the same as Him being in prison.

God has to be set free.

God intended for the ideal world to be established based on love, but it was snatched away by Satan.  Thus, God could not be liberated in heart from losing His ideal.  It is the same as a Father who prepares a beautiful nursery and life for his child, only for a the servant to run away with the newborn baby.

God lost His rightful position

How can God''s heart and mind be at rest when His beloved children have died?  With our own efforts, we should liberate God.  He is not free.  He is in confinement after He lost His sons and daughters.

Even if one has ten times the filial piety of the lost filial son, he cannot easily free the original heart of the the parent who lost His sons and daughter.  The situation is worse if he suffered the death of His son of filial piety.

I am going to liberate God.

Why is all-knowing, all powerful God full of grief and distress?

Those who work hard in this world during their youth are assured to enjoy a hopeful future.  God has painstakingly invested all of His efforts since the beginning of history, but when did He ever have hope in the world of peace He envisioned?

When has his dream ever been fulfilled?

How old do you think God is?  God transcends the universe, so He does not have an age.  God is beyond the solar system.  What is there to calculate?

God, who is our Parent, is unable to free Himself from lamentation unless all His children are free from lamentation.  How is it possible for even a human parent to live comfortably while their loving children live in anxiety?

This is why we should liberate God who is stuck in such a situation.

How is it possible to liberate God?

We are responsible to find the realm of liberation where God can freely love all of humankind.  Since humankind was corrupted through the Fall, we must liberate God by becoming children who are victorious over the Fall.

What happened because of the Fall?

After the first parents went against God's ideal, He was shackled and restrained and so were the first ancestors of the human race and the realm of angels.  Countless religious people and saints have struggled against these shackles along with all of humankind.

A child who does not demonstrate filial piety restrict their parents.  How can a parent have absolute freedom with their child who is not a true object partner of love?

The parents can only be liberated when the child displays filial piety that is greater than his impiety.  He also must be officially recognized by the general public.  Only then will he be able to cleanse himself from his past sins.

This is heavenly law.


By the same principle, I do not need people who say, "I will live only for you, Father." The neighbors, this nation, this people -- they are all a pitiable lot.  I am glad they will attend both parents, but why live in a small cottage for tens of thousands of years for parents? They are a pitiable people. 


We must guide those pitiable people who are penniless and poor.  Also those who have failed to obtain God's blessings, where will they go and live without someone to care for their well-being?

God could not function as God

We must persist on this path to restore humanity's pitiful situation to an ideal world until the planet Earth, the spirit world, and ultimately the heart of God is liberated.

We must ultimately liberate humankind, the spirit world and God. 

If loving parents have a rebellious son, their hearts will not be liberated until they see that child rise to a position where he freely fills his parents' expectation of a filial child.

This is probably the first time you are hearing this.  We throughout religious history have sought God to liberate us from our dire situations, but in fact, we have to liberate God.

We should know and understand that God's true heart has been restrained and needs to be freed.

God had created Adam and Eve as His greatest partners of love.  Humanity is God's partners of love.  In the vertical position they have a parent-child relationship with God.  Horizontally they were created to become husband and wife centered on God.

Then God would have been able to practice all the ideals of love in heaven and on earth.  Yet, when Adam and Eve did not center their love on God, He lost everything and ended up in prison.

How is that possible?

God is a being of love, without His object partners to give and take with love, He is kept from truly expressing the desires of His heart.  It is the same as a spouse who has run away from their responsibilities.

If one has not established a base of heaven while on earth, there is no foundation for him to go to heaven in spirit world.  As the Bible says, what is loosed on earth is also loosed in Heaven.  You must experience the four realms of heart while of earth before entering spirit world.

Father Moon speaks of His heartfelt experiences with God while imprisoned in North Korea for teaching Christianity:

"Even when I went to prison and manacles were placed on my wrists, they could not restrain me because I had love. When I was in a cramped position that made it hard to sleep, I woke up at night to find light shining from my hand. Why was there light? It was because God was embracing me. I discovered His love.

That is why light could shine even in that dark room. If I sat quietly and reverently in the corner of a prison cell after hearing someone groaning and crying, the following day people would give me packets of rice powder. 

They had heard a distant voice, 'If you don't give this food to this particular prisoner, all the prisoners and even your family will be uncomfortable.'  Therefore they followed."

Rev. Moon

God is a God of love.

Members, therefore should not be an ungrateful group of people who persecute such a God, during the times of suffering.

God has searched for thousands of years for a people that thirst for faith and hope burning with love that want to unshackle God on the account of humankind.

He looked for people who say, "God was accused by Satan because of me; He was imprisoned because of me; Jesus died on the cross because of me; the Holy Spirit went through a bloody history of struggle on my behalf.

God please give me strength.  I will bring rest and liberation to the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit."

God had no foundation on which to stand because there was not a devoted son through which people could uphold the heavenly kingdom by fulfilling the way of a loyal subject, saint and divine son or daughter.

If God and Satan were fighting, who would stop the fight?  Would the fight just automatically end between the two?

Is it possible that just one day Satan will surrender on his own and the world would automatically enjoy peace?

God has carried the sorrow in His heart from the situation of the heavenly kingdom.  God has been incarcerated and confined from exalting His absolute love and authority upon the earth.

Do you know of any grandfather or grandmother which God has been seeking for thousands of years?  What about a mother or father, a wife or husband who God has searched for?  Have you ever met a true son or a daughter whom God is seeking?

Because of the fall, you have not met such a person.  Who can sever the chains which have bound this heart?  How will we be able to dissolve the bitterness of this quest?

God can do anything at will, but because of the reality of unprincipled love His hands have been tied. 

Who has ever known how much He has suffered under lasting regret and sorrow?  Who understands how unimaginably weary he is?

People in the church pews cry out for the God of glory to give them blessings.  But God is not that kind of God.  On the contrary, God is a miserable God.

God's sorrowful situation can be liberated through the birth of a son.

Hence, you must liberate God.

If you are not able to free God from the pains of humanity's fall, then there is no way to create the heavenly path and make straight a way for the ideal world to be established on earth.  This is the history and the mission of the Unification movement to rectify this fallen history.

These core teachings, sermons and words can liberate God's heart.  God is suffering in grief because of the Fall.

From the outset, the history of such lamentation has been a global one.

Thus, Paul has said that all of the creation, our ancestors and each of us wait in eager longing for the appearance of God's true sons and daughters.

We are living in the age where the truth which the Book of Revelations speaks about is being revealed.  Through the practice of these teachings we will separate ourselves and God from that realm of grieving.

A Prayer: Allow Us to Discover Where Our Hearts Lie

Anything that is absolute has qualities that are unchanging and are everlasting.  Prayers are the same. True Father, as Rev. Sun Myung Moon is called by his followers, has set records with 20-hour speeches and strong fervent prayers where he not only sweat blood but also tears.  The following prayer was given in 1965.  One can feel the Father's heart from the deep path he had laid out on earth for God and His children to be set free:

"Father, please allow us to discover the condition in which our hearts now lie. We are aware that although our bodies have gathered together, each heart moves in its own direction. We are aware that we who were created by You should move only according to Your desire, and just as You created Adam, so too our hearts should be molded according to Your desire. Now our bodies have come together to form one altar, but we are concerned as to whether the true natures and essential natures of our hearts have become the temples in which You may dwell.

Please forgive us that even with such hearts we yearn for You, our precious Father. We are painfully aware of how much we need to feel the sensation that comes when our insufficient hearts brush against Your internal character and are suddenly lifted up.

We cannot but consider within the depths of our hearts how through Your history of restoration You have sought joy through calm discussion and have sought to manifest our missions solemnly. No one ever welcomed our Father solemnly or stood in a position for You to express Your hidden secrets. Through this moment we have taken to heart how it was only our Father who cried, and only our Father who suffered. Our Heavenly Father should be the True Father of all mankind, and our Heavenly Father and we ourselves must establish a three-dimensional relationship centered on eternal life.

Although we must become sons and daughters who realize these facts, if such a realization does not sprout from deep within our hearts, how can we call ourselves Your sons? How can we call ourselves Your daughters? When we realize that no ties or connections bind us together, we see that we also have no relationship with the Kingdom of Heaven which You would give us. Neither have we anything to do with the place for Your rest after You have suffered through the long history of resentment. Our suffering Father, our loving Father! Should You forsake our pitiful selves, we can only be buried in eternal death. What abilities do we have? We are so weak and so lacking in every way. We feel nothing but fear, and with such hearts receive Your love; turning our eyes toward heaven, we desperately await the hand of salvation.

Oh Father, we pray from deep within our hearts: please save our pitiful selves. History has reached its consummation. Father, You are surely aware of how the surging waves of death attack us from every direction and threaten to swallow us up. Because You have maintained a heart of concern for us and have kept the will to sacrifice for us, when You see us in our present situation, Your heart must rend asunder. Father, we beg that You may pity us and fulfill this moment.

Father, in this moment, we would like to confess our lonesome hearts before You and exchange them for Your heart. Surely You are aware of the pitiful situation we are in. We cannot live unless we can exchange our inexpressibly sad and grieving hearts for Your heart of joy and life. We pray, Father, that You may forgive us. Father even though You have sacrificed Yourself for us and taken upon Yourself all our suffering, still, because we are so fallen, we must again seek Your salvation.

Oh Father! Please let it be that the hearts of all gathered here may flow freely among themselves. Although we once were stumbling now we are all gathered here as brothers and sisters. We have gathered here to turn toward heaven, yearning for the Heavenly Word of restoration that will allow us to reach for Your original idea. So we beg that You take pity on us and raise us up. But who among us can stand before You in confidence?

Because, Father, You are confident, we have sought to be confident, and because You have told us how it must become, we have sought to believe this way. But if there is even the smallest mistake here, You will have to forgive us again, so we beg that You will give us direct guidance.

Father, we pray that You take pity on the race of thirty thousand. Without knowing the proper road to follow, our brothers can only wander aimless, crying and screaming on the road of life or death. We know, Father, that Satan is hunting for them and his power is increasing.

We must become people capable of feeling grief over this reality and testify to the road they must follow and decrease the power of Satan over them. In this way, we must raise the foundation of victory.

Oh Father! If our strength is not sufficient, please give us Your courage. Just as You directed Joshua and Caleb to be strong and of good courage, we beg that You may grant us Your words at this time. We pray that we may become heavenly sons and daughters who will offer the fate of the race of thirty thousand before our Father's altar, link them to Your life, and pay any sacrifice and fight to the end when Satan attacks trying to sever this precious lifeline.

Even today Your sons and daughters are scattered across the country. Father, they are bowing down before You and in tears they cry out with their sad hearts. On this tragic course where men are not able to comfort one another, but must live in a bitter, lonely environment, please take pity on Your sons and daughters who have so few brothers and sisters to whom they can confess their sorrow.

In this moment, by softly caressing each other's hearts we have seen how the world of Your heart moves beyond space and time. Because in this moment our hearts may be struck by Your guidance, we may experience a moment of the joy of being submerged in Your heart. If it may be allowed for this one brief moment, we beg that You may bring us Your word and hope that You may somehow spend this moment in our midst.

We do not ask for words of blessing. We only need the awareness that now is the time when we must know how we are lacking, and now is the time to know the heart that fears having to come to judgment without having wiped away the lineage of sin.

We pray that with such a body and mind, we may be able to approach the word that is permitted to us. We pray that the heart of he who speaks the word and the hearts of those who are about to receive the word may not be separated, but will become one heart and be able to touch Your heart that overflows in deep truth and love.

We pray that in this moment, we may take on our Father's internal character and humbly bow before You, and that this may be a moment in which the heart of respect and honor may flow among us and that there may not even be the smallest opening through which Satan may invade. We pray in the name of our precious Lord. Amen.

Father, please allow us to discover the condition in which our hearts now lie. We are aware that although our bodies have gathered together, each heart moves in its own direction.

God Loves the Wife the Most

"A wife shouldn't be sad because she cannot wear nice clothes or because her household is poor. Your husband already knows your heart. Deep love and priceless treasures are hidden in his heart of feeling sorry for you."

Could it be possible that God loves woman more than man?  Man's body is like God's body as His physical representative after perfection.  Woman is the utmost masterpiece of God's creation, because at the last moment to receive love from God and eventually she is to become a mother.

Isn't it true that children mostly prefer their mothers?  Raising children is the hardest job on earth.  When a woman is pregnant she loves her taste for food and suffers.  Because of this suffering, God acknowledges her.

During the difficult period of pregnancy and delivery, God gives her deeper love.  God made this process of giving life difficult so a woman could understand love.  If having a child was easy, there would be less of a bond between mother and child.

When she goes through the excruciating pain of giving birth, she can understand the heart of God in the process of His own creation.  She will cherish her baby;woman is created as God's object of love.

Why does God make a pregnant woman lose her appetite? If his wife doesn't lose her taste for food, the man will be indifferent even though she is pregnant. A woman also grabs God's attention more when she is pregnant.

"Father thinks of something in the far distance and Mother thinks of things close at hand. Woman is the realist."

In bearing a child, a woman gets to know parental love, husband's love and child's love. Woman is so precious because she, more than man, is connected to love.

A father cannot compete with a mother when it comes to loving a child.  The mother already pours out all of her power and herself more than anyone else in the world and suffers when bearing a child.  She will love this child more than anyone else.

Woman should make the fragrance of love spread out to the far distance like the morning-glory flower.

In the realm of emotion who in the family holds the precious position?  It would be woman.  No matter how much a man loves his baby, it cannot match the love of the mother.  When women understand this, they can see that it is not bad to be born a woman.  Therefore, woman will go to the Kingdom of Heaven of heart.

God is fair.

Even though a husband tells his wife not to intervene in his business, should she not intervene at all? A wife can stand as equal in position to her husband. If the husband is absent, his wife should be able to replace him.

A husband usually tells the wife not to intervene in his work, but should a wife intervene or stay behind him?  When a man marries, no matter what position his wife is in, she stands equal to her husband.  When the husband is absent, the wife should be able to stand in his place.  When establishing the family, the woman's role is important and she should try with utmost effort to do her best job.

A wife should never be indebted to her husband.

A woman should follow where her husband goes or she cannot qualify as a wife at all.  She should have the attitude to be ready to accept her husband's opinion, which is centered on God, 100%.  Her internal bond to her husband should be so strong that she should go east when her husbands needs her to go.

Women should be careful how they speak at the first moment they offer their life to their husband.  If a sister offers her obedience to her her husband with a serious heart, she will surely receive his love.  Such a quality is necessary.  The wife should be a person who is responsive for the sake of her husband.

A wife's ear should be trained to go over the rugged mountains.  How can a woman survive if she is married to a man who curses daily?  She should be able to say to her husband who curses her during breakfast to say, "Please wait until after lunch to curse me."

Then when it is lunch time when he is cursing the wife she should respond without negativity, "Why don't you curse me after we finish dinner."  Then if he continues after dinner say, "Okay, just wait until we wake up in the morning then you can curse me later."  Then Satan will go away in forty days because there's no fun in trying to make this kind of woman mad who responds gently.

"You are not supposed to expect only good things. Can you bathe in the sun 24 hours? No. You need the night, don't you? It is Principle that the high is followed by the low."

Wives should wake their sleeping husband and ask, "Why are you always sleeping?" Wives want their husband's happiness more than their own because it determines their mutual relationship. Woman is born to welcome man and man is born to welcome woman.

You should feel the family standard keenly.

Man is subject and he should stand in the center. Western women do not want to hear this, but this is the Principle. The subject should stand in the position of subject, not that of object. The center should be protected and it shouldn't be at an odd angle. He is in the position representing God.

Motive and cause start from the subject. Happiness and joy originate from the subject. The man is responsible if there is family discord. See this balance?

The responsibility for the fall is assigned to God first, to Jesus second, and to the Holy Spirit third.

Ideally, men in the subject position would not have created war or have made women and the earth struggle.  In the ideal world that is to come, man and woman must become equal.  So who will be the subject then?  The subject does not press the object hard to take responsibility;when we eternally take absolute responsibility, equality is possible.

After fulfilling his responsibility as a subject, he can call the object to account. God doesn't call human beings to account until they become perfect. In other words, He is tolerant until the perfection of human beings.

In this respect man as the subject is responsible for everything good or bad.  Whoever can inherit the responsibility and fulfill the public commitment becomes the subject.

Man has an active and conquering nature.

Humans are called the Lords of creation which the word 'Lord' sounds like it refers to man doesn't it?  Man has the responsibility of pioneer work.  How does it sound if a woman with a small stature and slender face screams out "I am the Lord of all Creation?"

Think about it. No matter how many times she shouted, her voice would sound feminine. What if a man with a somewhat thick voice shouted, "I am the Lord of all creation." How would you feel?

Even all the women and the feminists would agree with his claim after hearing his voice.

When men are fighting, if a woman tries to intervene, saying, "Go away," how do you feel? But when a man with his fist clenched firmly says, "Hey! Beat it; get outta here," at least it sounds authentic.

Liberation of the World's Women

What kind of woman was God's ideal before the fall?

Eve tempted Adam who still enjoyed God's direct dominion out of fear and wanting to be closer to God through Adam.  Ever since, our first ancestors fell away from God's commandment and law, women have been cursed away from their original position.

Afterward, God said that woman would be under the rule of her husband and he was to rule over her as a master.  If this is the curse given after Eve's disobedience, what is God's original ideal for women in this context?


All Creation Exists in Pairs

Everything that exist has a partner.  The pair system is very important.  If we find ourselves in the upper position, we must think about the lower position.  If we are on the right side, we must consider the left side.  We consider the other side because we want to harmonize.  This concept is a must: whatever position you have, you must keep the other in mind.

Everything in creation lives for the sake of the other.  When you say up, you must first recognize down, before you recognize up.  When you say right, first recognize left then recognize right.  Even when in circular motion, one moves for the sake of the other.  The person that is down lives for the person that is up.  Without this you do not have motion.

When an individual does not keep the other person in mind, this is the beginning of destruction.

"Everything we see, including motion, is the expression of the desire to serve the other. So the more we move, the greater we serve. Here we see the principle of God's creation."

Satan's way is opposite of the true way.  He says, "Live for the sake of me".  Who are women born for.  Are they born for the sake of themselves?  No.  This cannot be.  When we mention 'women' we automatically think of a man.  Women are born absolutely for man.  And men absolutely need women.  This principle does not only work for men and women, but everything in all of creation works this way.  Because of this principle, we see that the universe was able to develop.

What if a grandfather in a family starts to say to his relative, "Live for the sake of me"?  Harmony would not be possible only destruction and separation.  Instead, when we live for the sake of the other, the more we move forward, the greater the other becomes.

In a situation, if the object and the subject each demand they be treated best by the other, they will fight constantly and begin to decline.  This situation is turned around when they say, "I should live more for the sake of the other" and the greater the good will come to the whole.  If each says, "I will live more for the sake of the other", this creates a circular motion and they will rotate faster and grow.  Is this true or not?


Consider America

When we consider today's situation of America with its deep roots built upon sacrifice of the people and a Christian foundation, we see now that it has become a country of individualism.  Yet, the citizens do not think twice about the country's position and think is fine.  But, this defies the principle, the law of the universe which spits at America. 

The law proclaims that those who say, "You live for me", will perish.  Those who live for others are protected. This fate and outcome is connected to the cosmos and is eternal.  When the universe sees one living for the other, it is good.

When your mind and body is centered and united on God's will and live for the other, this is good.  This base will grow larger and larger connecting to the universe. 

How does one connect mind and body?

The first principle is to deny oneself and get rid of ego. The rule of living for the sake of the other is cardinal and when it is practiced, you will feel good and universal fate will support you.

When you roll like this, you are dancing.

But look at dancers today: are they dancing for the other or are they trying to pull others to themselves? If someone drinks a lot of wine in order to give money to another, that is good, but there is no such drunkard. They all drink for themselves. If there was a drunkard who drank to give money to others, there would be lines of people following him.

The situation of individualism, living for oneself, is the worst disease and is America's unfortunate reality. 

Women reading this, do you consider man's appearance or his mind to be more important?  Even the most handsomest man who is empty will be rejected over a man of heart.  The man's mind and soul is important.  Can we see the mind?  How do we distinguish if someones mind is good or evil? 

We can see if the mind is living for the sake of the other.  One who lives and sacrifices for another is a good man.  Don't you think if you find such a man and marry him that both of your future will be good? 

The true champion of the world's women would want to live for the sake of the world.  This woman would not have to make up her face.  No one can deny that living for the world and others is the best policy.

What constitutes a truthful woman?  When a man loves a woman with intensity and the woman tries to return this love, this is a truthful woman and vice versa.  What happens in a relationship where the two partners cannot out do each other when loving the other?  True love will grow.  There is an infinite potential which breeds infinite prosperity.

America's way of living is to sue the company if they work for less, but this is not God's way or how He thinks.  If you are willing to work for your company for less, you will become the head. 

What if God decided to sue humanity for not paying him?  The whole human race would be wiped out. 


True prosperity

Everyone in the world wishes for a peaceful planet.  This will not happen without this principle stated above.  Everyone wants to be the center and the top of the world.  When the one appears who is the representative from the level of the individual to that of the universe, then the universe will be saved.

Why? Because God exists and God is like that.

Even if that is only invisible or a dream and only exists in the mind, it will come about, because God will create it for us. How wonderful.

The awesome conclusion is that each person wants to become the best. To do that, each must think, "I represent the entire world and live for the sake of the world." If you think that, then you think that you represent the past, present and future. Such a man loves woman the best, and can come to the conclusion that there is no woman who does not love him.

All women will want to marry that man.

In order for you to have that kind of husband, you must be that kind of woman.  In that way you can be the best. When you learn about this, you say to God, "I will do not only that but better." If you are anxious to do better than God, you can climb on top of God's head and God will say, "That feels good."


Return for Tomorrow's Post: First Man and Woman's Mistake Was Love

This text was rewritten and taken from one of Reverend Sun Myung Moon's speeches which is based on his book: The Divine Principle.

Womens' Tragic Life

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

Helen Keller





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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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


Only One Way

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Digest And Convert

Can you answer me this question?

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

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

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

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


Unification Is Everything

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

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

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


Ministers Don't Know Basics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Your Body The Monster

Here is the formula for salvation:

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

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

Profound Teaching

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

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


Tales Of Deception

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Return for Tomorrow's Post:  Liberation of the World's Women

From the text "Victorious True Parents"

God Has Been In Prison

"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman, "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."  When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.  She also gave some to Adam who was with her, and he ate it.  Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked;so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.  Then the man and woman heard the sound of the Lord God as he was was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.  But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?" He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked;so I hid."

Two points here that show that after the act of Adam and Eve following the lie of Satan instead of following God's commandment of not eating the fruit which was the symbol of immature sex, indicate that this act brought sorrow to God.

The first is that God can see all of creation, yet for the first time we see the account that God could not find Adam.  This means that when Adam followed God, he had the characteristics of God, but once he followed Satan, the inherited impurity covered Adam where God could no longer see or relate with him as his child any longer.  Then afterward, God cursed Adam and Eve and banished them from the Garden representing Heaven on Earth.

God lost His rightful position

"My own pain and grief are nothing. God has not been able to fulfill His role as God. You must understand that God's bitter tears which melt the marrow of His bones and His bloodstains which spread throughout the course of history are crying out from the ground. I have been doing this work because I know that the mission remains to liberate God from His anguish." Rev. Sun Myung Moon


God must be liberated.  How is it the all knowing and almighty God, the Creator of the universe can be said to be held in bondage when he created the world?  Due to the fall, God and man were separated as Satan claimed dominion over His children.  God is confined by His love for His original children, so in essence, God is in prison. and has not been set free to this day. 

God had intended for the ideal world and universe to be based on love to be formed with Adam and Eve centering their relationship solely on God's dominion leaving Satan out of the equation.  Thus God could not be foundation for liberating God's heart has not emerged leaving God confined without any person as His direct object partner. 

How can God's heart and mind be at ease when His stolen children's original selves have been murdered?  What human father would stand happily by as His children suffered?

The originator of heart would have more suffering when looking at the creation and His lost children than a human father would.

It is possible that we can liberate God with our own effort from His bondage which our original placed Him through their selfish act of the Fall.  Through the Fall, God lost His first sons and daughters. 

It will not be easy to release a parent who has suffered from the tragic death of His son of filial piety.  Even if one of His children had tens times more obedience than the lost filial son, it will not be simple to restore the original heart of the parent that was lost.  Yet, the Messiah at the Second Coming will liberate God from His suffering and restore His dominion.

God has painstakingly invested millions and billions of years of effort to create the world and His children since the beginning.  In respect, those who work from the time of their youth are assured to enjoy the fruits of their labor in their old age.  Yet, God is full of grief and distress when He looks upon His beautiful creation and cannot enjoy even a second of Glory with His children.

Young children may ask if God is young or old, but God does not have an age.  He is transcends beyond the universe and time.  God has suffered beyond billions of years to see His hopes realized and His ideal of creation He had at the beginning.

In order for God to free Himself from lamentation, He must first free His children, you and I, from the bondage of sin and Satan's dominion returning us back to the original position before the fall.  This explains why we should liberate God who is in such a situation.

How will we be able to liberate the Supreme God?  Since we were corrupted beyond having relations with the perfect Being, we must become children who stand against Satan and become victorious over our Fallen state.  God's purpose for creation was to be able to freely love His children and have give and take with them.  We must find a path of liberation for God to be able to freely love His people.

What happened due to the Fall? God was shackled and restrained and so were the first ancestors of the human race and the realm of angels. Countless religious people in history have struggled against these shackles. It is the same for all humankind.

A rebellious child restricts the parents and in order to liberate the parents, the child must go in the opposite direction.  The child must display filial piety greater than his rebellious behavior and be officially recognized by the general public as a child demonstrating loyalty to his parents.  This is absolute heavenly law. 

One should not just live for the parent, alone, for his neighbors, nation and people are all suffering.  Only then can the lost child restore to his original position and cleanse his past sins.

For five thousand years we have sung, "I will build a small cottage and attend both parents for tens of thousands of years." I am glad they will attend both parents, but why live in a small cottage for tens of thousands of years? They are a pitiable people. We must guide them. If these people, who are penniless and poor, also fail to obtain God's blessings, where will they go and live?

God Could Not Function as Supreme God

The church that practices the Complete Testament truth in this age must persist until it liberates our planet Earth, the spirit world, and, ultimately, with a heart of love, God. We must ultimately liberate humankind, the spirit world and God.

I am sure you are hearing this for the first time. So far we have looked to God to liberate us, begging God to save us from our meager situations, but in fact, we have to liberate God. You should know that God's heart has been restrained.

If loving parents have a child who does not show filial piety, their hearts cannot be liberated until they see that child rise to the position where he can freely fulfill the parents' expectation. In the same way, God created Adam and Eve with the high expectations that they would be His greatest partners of love.

There are four realms of heart or love: love of the child, love of siblings, love of parent, love of spouse.  These four realms are learned and practice in relationship of family.

We are God's parner in love.  We relate vertically with God through the parent-child relationship and horizontally through our relationship with our spouse.  All these ideals of love and heart would have been realized and enjoyed by God creating ideal love and heaven on earth.  Only, God lost this ideal through the fall and God was confined from His greatest love.

All Christians speak about going to heaven, but in reality, until one reaches heaven on earth they will not enjoy heaven in the spirit world.  When an innocent person finds himself in prison and in shackles under persecution, they will be free as long as they have love. 

Rev. Moon, author of the Divine Principle found himself imprisoned 6 times, yet when he was in cramped quarters at night and could not sleep he saw light emulating from his hand.  He said that it was God embracing him. That was when he discovered His pure immense love.

He said that the light would shine in the dark and the following day people would give him packets of rice powder. They had heard a distant voice, "If you don't give this food to this particular prisoner, all the prisoners and even your family will be uncomfortable." Our God is a God of love.

God searched endlessly for tens of thousands of years for the people who thirst for faith, hope and a burning desire with love who could say, "Because of humankind, God is in shackles and was accused by satan;Jesus died for me;the Holy Spirit witnessed a bloody history of struggle because of me.  God give me strength for I will liberate You and give you rest.  I will also liberate Jesus and the Holy Spirit."

If God and Satan fight each other, who will stop them from fighting? Would the fight just end? There has been no place for God to stand, because He did not have a devoted son or a system of love through which people could uphold the heavenly kingdom by fulfilling the way of a loyal subject, saint and divine son or daughter. Until now, God has been incarcerated and confined. The heavenly kingdom became an empty ruin. God has carried this sorrow in His heart.

Have you ever met a grandfather or grandmother whom God is seeking? Because of the Fall, you have not. Have you ever met a mother or father whom God is searching for?  Who can sever the chains that bind this heart? Nothing except the love of God. Nothing except God's essential love can do this.

Yes, essentially God has the ability to do as He pleases, but because of unprincipled love His hands are tied.  Throughout history, God has suffered Satan's accusations alone while no one on earth knew of His unimaginable agony of regret and sorrow He experienced.

In the established churches people shout out in excitement and joy, "Oh! Holy, holy God! Oh! God of glory! Give me blessings." But God is not that kind of God sitting high on the throne joyfully ruling over the deserted earth. On the contrary, He is a miserable God, suffering in confinement. He can be liberated from His sorrowful situation only through the birth of a son. Hence, you must liberate God.

Unless you do so, the heavenly path cannot be made straight, and thus the ideal world cannot be established on earth. It has been the history and the mission of the Unification Church founded by the Messiah to rectify this.

What lies within the sermons, core teachings and the words you hear from the Divine Principle? Its teachings can liberate God, whose heart is in confinement. God is lamenting in grief because of the Fall. From the outset, the history of such lamentation has been a global one.

Thus, Paul said that all creation, our ancestors and we ourselves wait with eager longing for the appearance of God's true sons and daughters. It is because they long to free and separate themselves from that realm of grieving.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: Women's Tragic Life

This text is rewritten from the original Text book:
Cheon Seong Gyeong Book One - True God
Chapter Four - True Father's Insights on God
Section 3. A God Confined and Incarcerated

God Needs Liberation, Too

"No matter how many times I may have said that I want to liberate God, God says, 'All right. Before you consider liberating me, please take care of the problems of the world first. Then come and tell me that you want to liberate me.' This is why I have sought out the most difficult problems of the world and taken them upon my shoulders."

Many people and nations may wonder how such a country with such a young government ever came to power as America in a few short hundred years.  America was started with the founding heart of rebels.  People who left their country who wanted to serve God and not the church on a new land.  Their reference to God and the Bible in their laws and in their way of life is directly correlated to the country's rapid growth and dominance in world. 

Fast forward not too far into the future and America's biggest problem is the loss of the order and discipline of love and the lack of a guiding clear philosophy of life.  True Love has been downgraded in our ways of life and through the media.  There are many religions, but no guiding principle of how individuals express their love on a brother, matrimonial and parental level.  In order for every person to experience true, lawful love, we need to restore its discipline and order.  In addition, the majority of the population lack a superior philosophy of life, and thus life their life day to day without a central, guiding principle.

The other problem in the world today is communism.  The walls came tumbling down, but communism still spreads its atheistic viewpoint like a poison to the world.  We live in a free country that practices freedom of speech and faith, but everyday we lose religious freedom in all facets of life as the atheistic viewpoint takes over our country.

Satan's vehicle is communism, and he must be driven out.  The faithful must reestablish the order of love and restore the eternal unchanging ideology which is the central theme of all human life.  This is not an easy task. 

The only way for change is for the Messiah to return and guide humanity to solve these problems.  That's right, for us to pick up our plows and begin the work of recreation.  If restoring the world was easy with the snap of God's finger, the world would have been restored in the garden of Eden and God would have never given us free will to choose to live by His rules.

Because God gave His children freedom to choose His way or the satanic way, when we chose satan's words over His in the garden and to this day, it essentially placed God in a prison not of his own making.  A prison where he watches His children get murdered, become reckless and live individual lives without His purpose and die and go to hell.

So, God is all powerful, but gave His children 5% responsibility to go after that power. 


The Order of Love

When the Messiah returns, his first task is to restore the central ideology which will lead humanity to reestablish the order and discipline of love.  Then humanity will be able to return to the true, lawful love.

The second responsibility to return order to the world is to chase out satan. 

What about you? Are you restoring the order and discipline of love within the realm of your life and activity? You need the Marriage Blessing given directly by God in order to do begin the true work of recreation of your lineage. The Blessing is the pinnacle in your course of restoring love.

These are not my ideals and concepts, but those taught by the Returned Messiah.  These teachings explain what the world should be like, what the nation should be like, and how society should function and how each of us should live. 

These teachings of the Divine Principle which is based on the bible is the basis of each of Achieve World Peace blogs.   The central theme is the ideal pattern for individuals, societies, nations, the world and even the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.  Each of these facets has a clear-cut formula to follow to return to true love.

Right now, religion is trying to banish Satan from this world, day in and day out.  You and others are waging a "Knock Out Satan" campaign whenever you restore the order of love and the ideology of God.  On the other side of that, satan is always trying to promote illicit and abnormal love.  Abnormal is when objects just float around without following any principle and is confusing front and back, right and left.

What is abnormal love?

The evidence is evident in our nation when it is 'normal' for a gentleman to sleep with one woman one night and prowls for another every night.  Also, when one has sexual relations with a family member or homosexuality tendencies.  These are just a few examples of abnormal illicit love that has nothing to do with God's original love.  Even though these practices have become the norm, it goes against God's purpose of creation and ideal of love.

How many of us desire and hope for any type of these loves?  Does society agree that these few examples are abnormal type of love or normal?  Society has deemed that temporary, illicit love is in fact normal behavior. 

If one is not clear on the distinction of abnormal and normal love, satan will keep following them until they fully practice the normal way of love.  Once true normal love is practiced which begins with living for the sake of others, then satan can no longer follow that person.  How can he follow someone who does not have his traits?

When we live for a selfish purpose, only looking out for ourselves, we make it easy for satan to always be right behind us.  There is a remedy for anyone following the wrong path.  Once we start living for the sake of others, satan must retreat.  This is the dividing line. 

Satan can not claim someone who is living for the sake of the whole and for others.  Once you are living for the sake of all people of the world, the entire world will welcome you and satan will have to go away.

Since the world is entrenched deeply in sin, how do we save the world and then release God from the prison in which we have placed Him?  We have been discussing about the two principal needs of mankind: liberation from illicit love and liberation from the bondage of false ideology. 

When mankind is liberated, satan will leave completely.  He will not have a source to attach and have give and take relations to exist.  The presence and existence of satan who was formerly the good angel Lucifer is the main cause of God's imprisonment.

How is it possible for God to be imprisoned?  Because God gave you and I free will to follow Him or not, we chose to not follow God and satan has complete control over God's creation.  Does this sound like freedom for either humanity or God?  It look as if the only winner is satan.

As soon as Satan leaves, God will stand up and slowly walk out to greet us. "Finally I'm free!" He will say. "I have no more worries in the world! Who did it? The Messiah, the Second Advent did. He liberated me!"

Liberation

Until now, you didn't fully comprehend what I meant by the liberation of God and mankind or even knew that God required to be rescued from slavery as well. You didn't know the definition of liberation. By establishing the central ideology that restores the discipline of love and expels Satan, you are liberating mankind and liberating God. Is the task easy or difficult?



When every individual receives this ideology and puts it into practice, there will be no room for Satan. God will be welcomed everywhere. That is how liberation will take place. So to liberate mankind means to liberate God. The two liberations are simultaneous; they are not separate events. One solution will suffice.

Therefore, why do you go out to witness? It is to accomplish this very task. You witness for the liberation of mankind and the liberation of God. Who is working hard and daily for the direct liberation of God, those who accept and practice the words of the Returned Messiah who reveals the hidden truth that the disciples of Jesus' time did not have the ears to hear or the heart to believe.


Digest Everything Through Love

There are many wars, but the world is embroiled in an ideological war. There is a conflict between the God-accepting ideology and the God-denying ideology, between democracy and communism. What is the ideology of the Returned Messiah? Completely on the opposite spectrum, it  is Unificationism. We are bringing everything into harmony and unity. The role of our ideology is to digest everything; it is a "melting pot" ideology.

Reverend Moon the author of the Divine Principle said, "I have a healthy stomach: I can take in everything and digest it. I can eat hot pepper sauce and Korean kimchee, and at the same time I can eat cheese and bread. It makes no difference; everything can be digested into one stomach. Such a stomach is ideal, isn't it? You must be able to digest everything to be an ideal person. What kind of person are you?"
