Be Like God and His Heart

We are modeled after God’s heart and heavenly character

Even the healthiest and richest person has to one day discard their physical body and move on to the spirit world.

Therefore, since death is inevitable, we must all prepare and be ready for it.  We should endure the hardships on earth in order to form a good character that will live in the eternal world.

While in the womb, we need good prenatal care in order to be born healthy.  In the same way, our life on earth is like the womb.

As we grow, we risk our lives to overcome obstacles that hinder us from becoming like God’s form, heart and character.

Do not sin

An electrical pole stands upright just as the mind is straight.  This is why people walk upright - to make your mind completely vertical.

The body forms a horizontal line. The perpendicular force and the force of rotation must be balanced. Accordingly, you must find yourself.

When you say that you are yourself, God should agree with you.  Then your relatives, your clan, and the nation must also agree that what you say is right.

The one who is accused by them is the problem.

In the future, continents will not be as segregated by borders as it is now, but divided between frigid zones and temperate zones.

The time will come when Heaven on Earth will become a reality. Those who want to continue to sin will be sent to the North Pole just like patients with contagious diseases are quarantined.


Live and die for the world

“I did not work hard for the sake of the Asian situation or the Korean people. Think about how to fulfill your responsibilities in the global field and be willing to die for this cause.”

Reverend Sun Myung Moon

We must live and die for the sake of the world and go beyond the individual and family level and stand on the global level.

What position should we leave the earth?  We should die while embracing our loving spouse, family, tribe and nation.

How will the founder of the Unification Church die?

“I will die for the sake of the world, while embracing its people and the Republic of Korea also. If the Korean people unite and die for the sake of the world, there will be a path for them to be able to live with the world. That is why I go forward seeking that path.”

Work hard

“If you need money, make it. If you need people, work hard without eating and sleeping to raise them on this path.

“Never ask anyone for help. Do not rely on the church headquarters for help; you should help them instead. Work more than three times harder than ordinary people.

“That is why, if I were to live for 70 years, my life content would actually be equivalent to 210 years. Likewise, don't think of living for I00 years; instead, think of working three times harder than others.

“If you were to live that way for 70 years, it would be worth 210 years. Think this way: if you worked ten times harder, you would live 700 years; if you worked twenty times harder, you would live 1400 years.

“You should work twenty-four hours a day throughout your entire life. Only when you live that way can you bear fruit and increase your ownership of love in the spirit world.

“Your fortune of love will grow. Your ownership will grow and your sphere of activities will expand.”
Work for the public good

All the laws of heaven promote public righteousness.

Private matters belong to Satan, and public matters belong to God. 

Go the way of public righteousness.
If everyone opposes you while you stand this course and you are not disturbed by the opposition and go the way of hardship with vitality, you will become a person whom heaven will welcome.
You can observe this principle yourself.  If you see a shopkeeper who is greedy, you will notice that the customers will not buy things from him.


No one likes a greedy person.


Everyone naturally knows how to manage one’s life when it comes to public and private matters.

If you do not make it to heaven, you cannot make the excuse that you did not know how to properly manage your life.

Why?

We already know the distinction between matter that are public and private without being taught.

Let’s say you had a delicious snack that was equally split between you and your sister.  You already ate your share, but your sister keeps her share.

You wake up late at night hungry and you secretly eat your sister’s cake which she had her heart set on to eat maybe with breakfast.

Just before you eat it, or while you are thinking about eating it, your own conscience will cry out, “You devil!”

You should be able to feel your conscience protest before you do an evil act.

Why? Because your conscience pursues public matters. If you follow private desires you will perish.

A mind that follows the laws of heaven is a mind that defends and protects a person from falling into destruction.

God originally had such a mind, human beings came to have the same mind from the start.

This law is not made by man.

Can you reason with your mind that you want to do an unlawful deed because that is the way you think or the way you are?  Would the mind surrender and follow your way?

We may not know directly where the conscience receives its instructions from, but we know it is not from us.

Our mind chooses public over private matters.

When people struggle at they come to the crossroads between good and evil, and public and private matters, they finally fall into a self-centered private life.

Those who fall into a selfish lifestyle will eventually perish no matter how successful they become.

Therefore, they should repent for their past, private lives and push themselves back into a public way of life.

People waver between going the way of a private life to a more other-centered lifestyle.

But after the Fall, people are more inclined to live a private life where they only concern with themselves and distance themselves from the public good.

This is how you have lived your life of faith until today, so therefore, you should repent for living a private life-style.

We all want good fortune and to live forever.

But in order to do so you must become public people.

Become people who don’t just love your children only as your own, but become people who love their children as an offering for the sake of the people in the world who are suffering.




When holding your babies to your breasts and nursing them, think of yourselves and your babies as representatives of the entire human race on earth.




Nurse your babies with such a heart.

Instead of just caring for your own children’s wellbeing, cherish other people’s children as if they were your children with a loving heart.

Babies who are raised by such mothers will certainly become great people.

Such a result may not come to the surface right away, but after the first and second generation of
descendants, great figures who can rule the world will be born in that family.

This is the formula.

Which lifestyle do you prefer to  live to indemnify the past: private or public?

Both have a purpose.

But those who stand up at the risk of their lives to devote themselves for the public good will become great people.

A new history will be created by a group of people like this.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Living Just for Self is Evil

This post was rewritten and derived from the religious textbook Cheong Seong Gyeong written by Reverend Sun Myung Moon.

Will Jesus Return in the Flesh?

In light of those things, do you think the Messiah should come in the flesh or just in spirit?





In the ideal world we are going to build, we will be liberated from sin both on the physical and spiritual levels, under the actual guidance of God as our parent.



The Lord must come again in the flesh to accomplish his mission of saving the physical world.

The fall began by one physical man and woman on earth and can only be rectified through man on earth.

If he comes on the clouds of Heaven, spiritually, he cannot accomplish his mission of restoring the whole world both on the spiritual and physical levels. The problem is the sin and corruption of this world, and not of heaven.



 Q. How will the Lord come at the Second Advent?

We can see through the parallels of history repeating itself that Christianity is in the same position as the elders, scribes and priests at the time of Jesus.

At that time, the people were waiting for the return of Elijah in the sky.

Why did they hold onto this kind of belief?

They were simply following the Bible prophecy written down in Daniel 7:13:

"I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him."


Because of the great prophet Daniel, the people of Israel had every reason to expect the arrival of the Messiah to return on clouds of heaven. Christians are expecting the arrival of the Lord in the same way today, in a majestic show on the clouds.

Many people were denying Jesus as this Messiah because he was in the flesh - to them an ordinary man.

John condemened these people as the anti-christ in II John 7 "...many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the decevier and the anti-christ."

How, then will Jesus in our day and age if Elijah returned through the works of Jesus?  Still today the Jewish people wait for such an arrival and deem this second coming as the first coming of Elijah.

Unless we know the whole truth, we like the people of Jesus' time may fall victim of the words of the Bible by taking them in the literal sense.

In Jesus' time, the people were waiting for the return of Elijah upon the clouds and could not accept Jesus as the Son of God.  They would say that he had a mother and father, Joseph and Mary, how could he be the Son of God?

The disciples and the faithful of Israel argued this point all of the time.

Those who believed in the letter of the Old Testament and not the spirit would miss the Messiah.


Q: Then how will the Lord appear in the last days?

Believe it or not, we are in the exact same parallel to that of the time of Jesus Christ.  If we become slaves to the letter of the New Testament, we will commit the same crime that the elders, scribes and Pharisees committed 2,000 years ago.

What would you do if the Lord did return in the flesh?  If one told you that the Son of Man already returned with flesh and bones?  You would say I was a heretic.

It does not matter how one looks at the world, a man's views, or what one thinks, what matters is how God looks at the world.

The Bible states two prophecies: arrival of the Lord on the clouds and another that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

What do you do with these two prophecies?


If the Lord comes on the clouds, then he surely can't appear like a thief  unseen in the world.  There would be a lot of attention around his arrival on the clouds and could not be hidden from anyone's eyes.




When you see the signs of the Last Days, the Bible urges you to go into a dark room and pray. Who can tell you the time of the Last Days?

The angels do not know that day. Jesus said not even the Son of man knew when that day would arrive. Only God knows the time of the Last Days.

"That is why we have our answer from God. I am not saying you must believe me. I am just revealing what I know to be the truth, but you must verify this truth with God."

Christians simply believe in the words of the Bible and that Jesus will return on the clouds and only true Christians will be lifted in the air.


That is horrendous, empty, hollow. Religion is not out there, up in the stratosphere.

I am testifying that the Lord cannot appear in that kind of supernatural fashion. Jesus Christ could not return that way because the work of God is to be done here on earth.

The mission of the Messiah is a physical, realistic one. As a man he must come up from the bottom of human misery just as Jesus had done.



He must come to the most miserable nation and lift the human status from the slave position, to the servant position, to the adopted child position and to the direct child position by physically putting together the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. That is the mission of the Messiah.

Do not rely on anyone's answer.

In the Last Days, the Bible says, do not just believe anybody. Do not believe me, and do not believe someone just because of his or her official status in church or society.

Famous leaders will not necessarily give you the guidance God would want for you. Heaven is so near, and you can be lifted up by the spirit so high, that you can speak with God and receive the answer directly from Him if you are earnest enough.

 Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (Matt. 11:15) And he said to his disciples, "But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear." (Matt. 13:16) He was not referring to physical sense organs.

When you use your spiritual senses and listen for the Word of God, you will find His direction and guidance. But it is not easy to become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.

It is very difficult for a foreigner to go through the process to become a citizen of the United States.

How much more difficult it is to remove ourselves from our corrupt life and transfer ourselves into the Kingdom of Heaven. But we can achieve this very thing.

We know that even after Adam and Eve fell in the garden of Eden, they still were able to communicate directly with God.
The only way we might miss that day is if we look for the Lord to come from one direction, and he appears from another direction in an entirely unexpected manner, just as Elijah did at the time of Jesus.

This is the reason you may not see the Lord at the time of his second coming.

Another mysterious prediction was given by Jesus Christ himself He declared about the Lord at the second coming: "But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation." (Luke 17:25) If Christ at his Second Coming appears in the glory of the clouds of heaven, who would deny him?

Nobody would cause him suffering and pain. The only way this prophecy can be fulfilled is if people expect his return from the clouds and he suddenly appears as a humble man in the flesh.

Do you think that Christian leaders of today would make the same mistake that the priests and scribes and elders committed at the time of Jesus? Yes! They may very well deny him and reject him, because the manner of his coming would be very difficult for Christian leaders to accept. However, in this way the Bible will be fulfilled. He will first suffer and be rejected by this generation.

Jesus once asked a most important question: "When the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8)

Although we do have faith today, it may be mistaken faith based on a belief which expects the Lord must come on the clouds of heaven.

There are few men or women on earth with the kind of faith ready to accept the Son of Man appearing in the flesh.

If this were not the situation, the Bible prophecy we are discussing here would not be fulfilled. Please note that Jesus did not say there would be no believers, but he said there would be no FAITH.

Jesus also said: "Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them. 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.' " (Matt. 7:21-23)
This prophecy cannot be realized if his second coming is on the clouds of heaven.

At the time of the second advent, people again will be crying out, "Lord, Lord." At the same time they may be in the process of trying to crucify the Messiah if he appears in a manner different from their expectations. They will then be the worst evildoers.

This is the Bible. Those who truly have eyes will see Those who truly have ears will hear. Throughout history God has sent His prophets before the time of fulfillment. He warns the people of His plan. No matter how devout Christian faith is today, no matter how many millions of people are in the Christian churches, they and their churches and their world will decline once they fail to accept the Lord, however he may appear.

This was the tragic fate of Israel and the Roman Empire when they denied Jesus Christ, regardless of their righteousness otherwise.

We must therefore also be open to a new message. Jesus Christ did not come to repeat the Mosaic Law.

Just as Jesus revealed himself with the new expression of truth, the Lord at the second advent will reveal himself with God's truth for our time.

That truth will not be simply a repetition of the New Testament.

I hope that you consider these ideas seriously, and pray to God. He will answer you.



Return for Tomorrow's post: What Truly is Good, What is Evil?


This post was rewritten and derived from the text, Jesus and the Second Coming God's Warning to the World -message from prison

Everything Can Be Lost in a Moment

You could build a foundation of faith that is very strong like many ministers and saints of the past, but it can all be lost within one moment.  Once we realize this fact, we are ever striving to be careful with our words and decisions in every moment.

There is no better way to learn this simple fact than through the record of religious accounts.  The Bible alone can be thought of as a record of God's work to bring His children back to His bosom after we disobeyed through numerous saints, sages and people of faith.

Account after accounts, shows how God had planned victory through His people only for in one single moment of selfishness or lack of faith lost 40, hundreds and thousands of years of foundation laid for such a victorious moment.

Through the people of Israel following Jesus as God's son and raising him as a true king, God planned to bring about heaven on earth through His people conquering Rome during Jesus' life.

Instead, through countless mistakes, this victory would take place 400 years later with thousnds of Christian lives and sacrifices to pay for Jesus' death on the cross.

The purpose that people desire

God does not have a physical body.

Therefore, He manifests through Adam as His body, showing His face through him.

This is the ideal of creation.

God is the original spiritual(vertical) center and Adam is the original physical (horizontal) center.  When these two meet, they generate a 90-degree perpendicular angle.

This was God's purpose for the creation and it is people's desire to have this unity with God.

Had Adam and Eve had chosen to follow God's direction, they would have occupied the positions of true father and true mother eternally in the spirit world.

Yet due to their mistake in following the archangel's desires, this was not possible.  Had there been no Fall, everyone could have gone to Heaven just by simply attending the True Parents, perfect Adam and perfect Eve, just as if they were attending God.

The reason for birth

Everything is round in the created world: the sun, the earth, and the stars.  Even our mouth upon further analysis is round.

No matter what, everything is created that way.  Then the universe makes relationships by going round and round in circular, cyclical movements.

Even if one individual thing has a round shape, it does not exist on its own, but makes a connection with the whole.

This helps explain why we are born?

We are born to beat in rhythm with this vast universe.

The ocean waves that lap against the shore, lap against our hearts as well.  Gentle breezes softly and serenely lull our hearts into serenity.

The flowers which bloom release rich fragrances and stir the fragrance in our hearts.

If we are born, raised, live and die in love, then we can be grateful for our birth, life and death.

Since you were born through your parents love and treasure each other exceedingly, you consider yourselves born as the flags planted through your parents' love.

You are participants in this love.

Being born from that place of your parents' love, you consider yourselves born as the flags planted through your parents' love.  These flags flutter to express love.

God created humanity to live for the sake of love throughout their entire lives.  So, you should wave the flag of love for you mother, your father and for your siblings.

The relationship between a moment and a lifetime

The crossroads of life do not occur over a long drawn out period over time, but it happens in a single moment.

Your living body cannot be perfected unless your entire existence becomes a foundation for absorbing nutrients.  This phenom occurs in the natural world.

People who ignore such a moment, fail to obtain something precious.

Thus, they cannot become great people, nor inherit God's throne and crown.

For the sake of one bright, shining moment, exercise care with each of the words you speak, the action you take, and even each thought you entertain.

You should believe that the content of your family daily life will remain in the relationship to the world as you deal with life and solve problems.

In this way, the realm of victory or failure is determined in such a moment.

It is the same with the historical ream of victory on the cosmic realm.  Those who are able to understand the infinite value of such a bright moment and live accordingly, can become great people, saint, or more importantly, God's sons and daughters.

This point where life and death meet, is just a single moment.

It is necessary to first desire the coming of heaven continuously with faith and wish for His will to be done.

What is more important, is how we become one with God's ideal.

Attitude is the problem.

Of course, first, we must desire for the coming heaven on earth and wish for the Will to be done.  Yet, what is important is how we can personally become one with God's will and take it as our own desire.

We must create environments as individuals, and people that will enable us to inherit God's will.  This is where we can then proceed to establish, a relationship with Heaven.

Throughout the history of God's providence, there were three thousand years beginning from Adam's family  through Noah's Abraham's and Moses families down to Jesus.

In the Adam's family, the fall was not explained just because the fall was not something planned out.  This plan was to be put into action over the span of a year.

If you were given an hour, when centered on God, we make a relationship with His Will.  This is an important issue.

When you look at this failure, we see that, no matter what is presented, it did not occur over the course of a year.

It was not something that was planned to put in action over the span a year, five years or a decade.

Their mistake happened in a flash.

When we think about how that failure of only one moment has been perpetuated over eons of times within humanity, we can understand the fearfulness and dread of repeating that instant in our own life of faith.

Even if we live 40 years as a saint, we can fail God's will in just one moment of weakness.  When you look at the biblical story accounts of many people of faith, it is a record of many failures of God's people to restore God's heaven on earth.

The point Adam and Eve believed in the archangel's words over God's, these became the origin of a humanity needing to make a tremendous offering of indemnity or redemption for this mistake.

When we understand this importance, a single hour that we ordinarily live so casually within our daily lives can become just as fearful for such a mistake to take away years of foundation.

Even moreso, we have to feel how fearful even a moment is, even one second of one hour that goes by as the clock continuously tick.

Even eternal heaven has to exist having an integral relationship with the single moment.

We mistakenly believe that eternity begins when we die, but it begins at the moment we come to know God's will.

Eternity will be interrupted if there is even a short jump in time even if it was just a moment, then eternity will be interrupted.

We should, therefore, not procrastinate while walking this path of faith in the course of our lives.

Do  not procrastinate by deferring your responsibility.  A person such as this will die without ever having spent a day of being one with the Will over the course of their lifetimes.

Then they cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.  However good your country of residence may be, you cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

If you are unable to live even one day by a victorious standard, you will not enter the eternal world if you fail to live even one day out of the year for God's providence.

Since we cannot stop and must move forward, believers go forth dreaming of eternity. It is important for believers to go forth dreaming of eternity.

What is even more important for believers is how much evil can be eradicated and whether they have become the standard of goodness.

This is very crucial.

When we look from this perspective, Adam's momentary lapse in judgment led to thousands years of anguish.  God, thus planned for Cain and Abel to dissolve this anguish of their parents and demolish the wall that exists between brothers and create the origin of one true family.

Yet, Abel's murder was also an instantaneous incident that changed God's plan.

During Noah's 120-year course, he toiled to build the ark.  In only a brief moment, God gave the command to board the ship.

Those who followed this order were able to receive the blessings of the eternal God.  Those who did not were buried within the eternal judgment.

The same with Abraham: God's promise that His descendants would be numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. Gen. 22:17

This was bestowed in a twinkling of an eye.

Abraham's sacrificial offering did not require decades, but rather a mere day's work.  The time it took him to cut the offering and place it on the altar, was not an hour, yet that single hour historically bore the seeds of all life and death, or curses and blessings within it.

Today, believers should not dread the visitation of judgment in the Last Days, but the question of how they will harmonize their daily activities and face life's crossroads with God's will.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Home is the Beginning of World Peace

This post was rewritten and derived from the book Cheon Seong Gyeong Book Five, Chapter One, Section 1, 1-4

Become Part of God's Direct Lineage

We have spoken in many posts about how Adam and Eve were suppose to become true parents. They were to attain true oneness centered on God and pass their pure blood lineage on generation after generation.

These true sons and true daughters who are born into God's direct blood lineage would fulfill God's ideal world full of peace.

As we know from the biblical account, the first ancestors formed a bond with Satan and thus became the satanic ringleaders giving birth to children of death born into sin.

Therefore, you and I are fallen ancestors.


If we are not true parents, this means we are false parents still passing on the lineage of the fall nonstop.

We are in the point of history where humankind must deny this false lineage of false parents and find the true parents who do not have any trace of the fall.

They carry God's direct lineage.  This has been God's Providence of Restoration, restoring the fallen world, since the moment of the Fall.

The Hope of Fallen People

Even if they are not aware of it, all fallen people have a deep desire to meet God's true son.

Even the communist nation had the notion of a world of peace; we all have a deep desire for peace.

They lament that they were born as Cain's children through a fallen blood ties with Satan.  We each can feel the internal conflict between our separated minds and bodies.

Imagine if Abel and Cain had united in their offering and Abel or even Jesus was to have children.

They would have been born on God's side.  Yet, mankind has suffered greatly while seeking God's true son at the individual level and family level.

God sent the Messiah; if people had received the Messiah they could have found God's son.  The time of the Messiah was to convey the joyful news that humankind could finally meet God's son up to the national level.

You and I were born with sinful, fallen blood inherited from Satan.  We have to meet God's son who can transcend all of the accusations of Satan which holds each of us down.

Then we would meet him as our parent after he fulfilled Messiahship on the individual level.  We have been raised by fallen, sinful parents, not true parents no matter how well they are, they carry the fallen bloodline of Satan.

Therefore, we seek true parents whom God directly loves and is connected in lineage.

Next, we must seek the family that those parents create.

After that, we must seek God's love upon finding it, we can meet God.  So, when the Messiah returns, he will perfect himself on the individual level, find a true bride, create a true family of true children that carry the direct lineage of God without any trace of the fall.

We should be aware that this is the pathway of humankind.  If parents and children who live a life worthy of God's love form families, they automatically prosper.

They will sing songs of love in a setting that can bring success to everything through harmonized families.  When this happens, a race centering on God's love will automatically be formed.

Is this a dream or is this where humankind is headed?  Will this standard of world peace be found through political ties, force, war, science or philosophy?

This standard must be found through religion.

If a true family becomes the model for the world to live is not established, then an ideal family, tribe, people nation and world will not be established.

Humanity needs a model of how to live such as shown through religions such as Jesus, Buddah who accomplished much on the individual level.

What is our ideal desire and hope?

This is the conclusion: first, attend God as our Father is our greatest hope; second, we are to become His beloved sons and daughters; and third, we are to inherit everything He owns.

What other human hope is greater than this?

The Goal of Restoration is Adam's Family

Our goal as we walk the path of restoring the world of peace, is to establish Adam's true family.

Immediately after Adam and Eve fell, God launched His providence to restore them through their children Cain and Abel.

That foundation was lost when Cain (representing Satan's side) killed Abel (representing God's side).

Therefore, the providence passed from Adam's family to Noah's family, building a foundation for His providence by annihilating all humankind through the flood judgment establishing a family that transcended above Satan's accusations.

Noah lost that foundation of building the Ark through his sons not completely following him and doubting him and covering his naked body when he was drunk after his successfully accomplished God's will.  

Again, this task was passed on through several saints: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and Jesus down to the Second Coming.

Through each age, a condition failed to be completely set in order to eradicate sin from the earth.  This caused each time period to elongate and the conditions were of a greater indemnity each time.

What has God sought until now?  He has been seeking an ideal object partner, not a subject partner.

God has been searching for one who resembles Him and has the same inner and outer qualities of the world He created.

What is the starting point?  The family.

Nothing else can represent the universe better than the family.

Then where will history conclude?

With substantial true children and true parents; it concludes at the level of the family.  This is the basics of the universe.

Without parents, then children cannot be born.  Children should inherit and have dominion over all things centering on the parents.  Adam and Eve were meant to rule over all things.

This principle applies to everything.

Through the six thousand years of God's Providence He has sought to establish a family through which they would be His true object partner.

Family is indispensable in the formation of a nation.

The basis of everything is the family.

Since the first family was destroyed, it is our responsibility to restore it.

Jesus had been born on earth as the unfallen Adam. Therefore , he was the second Adam.  Since Adam, who was the first ancestor of humankind, became a fallen ancestor, God sent Jesus who was the true ancestor to reverse Adam's mistake and start anew.  

We must establish Adam's family centering on such true ancestors. 

The Bible testifies of the Fall of the first human ancestors. 

This occurred between two people, Adam and Eve.

If after Eve and the archangel gave into the fruit of evil, Adam had refused to eat the fruit, then the problem would have been simple to reverse.  In such a case, God as the Creator would have re-created her.

Why did God have to restore the world starting from a family?  Because this is where everything went wrong.  

Evil began in the human world from the first human ancestor's family.

Humanity experienced a loss of God, the expulsion of the angelic world, the loss of the perfect world of creation and the loss of the value and love of humankind.  This all occurred through an unprincipled union of a man and woman in Adam's family.

All religions show a way to individual salvation, especially Christianity, but they do not represent perfection.

This is just a rudimentary form of salvation that is just the beginning, the very first step on the road to complete spiritual and physical salvation.  

The goal of salvation has family salvation as its unit; individual salvation is the beginning.  These families can lead the world and bear responsibility even for world salvation.  

Our life of faith should have the highest ideal of realizing families with such a realm of heart is firmly established.

The Restored Family Was to Be Realized by Jesus

What was Jesus' main purpose for being born?

He came to establish a true family centered on God.

This history of salvation from Cain and Abel to Jesus is the history of restoration.

This is where those who are sick need to be healed.  Jesus came in order to save fallen people and open  a pathway directly to heaven.  

What is salvation?  Since the family was destroyed, it must be restored.

How do we restore the fallen family?  We must return to the original position that was lost because the original family was destroyed.  

Humankind is sick and needs healing.

God absolutely conducts Himself according to principles and laws.

Since Adam was lost, he must be recovered from the satanic world.  Adam had the responsibility to dominate and possess Eve, but he failed his role as a husband and she was taken by Satan.

Thus, she must be recovered from the satanic world.

Will this be done easily without a struggle?

God worked throughout the ages to lay family, religious and national foundations to restore Adam and Eve.

He established Joseph's and Zechariah's families.  

Then if Jesus, who was from Joseph's family and John the Baptist from Zechariah's family had united, God's will would have been fulfilled in a short time.

What if John the Baptist would not have questioned later on that Jesus was the one they were looking for and followed him?

Also, what if Jesus was to receive Zachariah's daughter as a bride and they start a true family with God's direct blood lineage reversing the sinful blood lineage on earth?  Jesus would have become True Father bearing True Children of God's blood lineage.

Then the will of God would have been fulfilled.

Such fundamental facts such as these are immediately opposed by Christians.  They cry and argue over it.  But it will be to no avail.

Those who oppose these facts will realize that this is the truth when they pass on to the spirit world.

God planned for Adam and Eve to achieve unity as substantial father and mother and complete the perfection of a family of love, which is God's ideal of creation.

God did not create this world to be full of evil, struggle and broken families.  To conceive of such an ideal for a perfect God is hurtful to the work of restoring the world.

Yet, since this was not accomplished, Jesus had to come in order to complete it.

Jesus came as the bridegroom to receive his bride.  Then, if the Israelites  had united with God and restored the position of the perfected Adam in the Garden of Eden and bonded in that love, then nobody could have made them repeat the Fall.

What was God's will?

It was for Adam and Eve to establish the standard of perfection of man and woman and establish God's family based on love.  Was this accomplished in Adam and Jesus' time?

God's family was not established.

Jesus understood and believed in this aspect of God's will.  But because the Jewish people could not follow and believe that Jesus was the son of God, Israel's four-thousand year foundation for Jesus collapsed.

Therefore, Jesus died a miserably death on the cross as God's second path toward only half salvation - spiritual not physical.  Even Jesus lost his physical body to Satan, but brought spiritual salvation to earth.

If death was God's first and only choice, Jesus would have gladly went the way of the cross, instead he asked God if it was His will to let this cup pass and he lamented to forgive them for they know not what they do.

If the Jewish people accepted Jesus and God's will, he would have lived to start a family and pass on God's true blood lineage through true children.  Followers would have been able to engraft to Jesus' true blood lineage and start true families.  Heaven on Earth would follow thereafter.

Through the cross, Jesus lost his physical body to Satan, but was able to bring spiritual salvation to mankind.  This was not God's original intention for bringing Jesus to that time.

Until now, who has been able to truly understand this heart-wrenching situation?

No one!

Since this is the case, how glad Jesus must be to witness this being taught for the first time.

Without Jesus' family being established, the will of God remained unfulfilled.

Without a God-centered family carrying God's pure blood lineage, neither the nation nor the world could be restored.

As a bridegroom, Jesus must find his bride.

This is the reason Jesus' mission must be returned to this earth to center the providence on one man that true parents, true couples and true siblings can emerge.

This will be decisively fulfilled through the prophesied Marriage of the Supper of the lamb in the Last Days.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: The Love of a True Parent

This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook Cheon Seon Gyeong Book Four, "True Family", Chapter 10, Section 3-5

We Should Attend the Lord of Second Advent

Everyday we wake up, we may already be burdened by things of the past or debts we have to face even before we brush our teeth.  But we must remember, that we are not living in the original world in which God planned for us to live.

God's ideal was for us to live our lives completely for Him.

In God's original world of love, we would live and die surrounded by love.  Thankfully, God never abandoned humanity at the point where humanity separated from God, but has dedicated all His knowledge and energy into restoring man to their original position before the fall.

All our activities would be in reverence to bring joy to God.  Therefore, we are all destined to live in attendance to God.

Therefore, how great would it be to attend God and receive His joy and love that we exclaim, "I want to live for thousands of years!"

A verse in a Korean poem reads:

"Moon, Oh moon, you bright moon, moon
loved by the poet Lee Tae-baek!
Oh moon, on you grow a laurel tree.
I want to chop it down with a jade axe and
trim the branches with a gold axe
to build a thatched cottage to bring my parents to..."

These words sound nice, but we must think, where are the Parents in this scene?  Isn't this like the current situation of the world - just brothers and sisters without parents on the worldwide level?

If these parents base everything on their own desire, they will completely disappear.

We need Parents who can reveal the straight path to create Heaven on earth and plant the tradition for future generations to follow.

This was Adam and Eve's task, but they fell away from laying a tradition to lead toward heaven.  Therefore, parents have only laid a foundation to continue the path toward hell on earth.


My life's purpose, until I die, is creating the way for the world that is like that folk song.   Religious leaders prostrate themselves and pray in an effort to receive blessings, but I have never prayed to receive any blessing. 

When we look at the Testaments in the book, we can see how God worked through the saints of history in order to lay a foundation for future generations to prepare for the coming of True Parents who reverse the fallen mistake of the first human parents.

The Old Testament Age was the age of finding God's people through the sacrifice of material; the New Testament Age was the age of sacrificing the sons and daughters such as in the Roman times through countless religious people shedding blood;  the Completed Testament Age is the age of liberating God by sacrificing the Parents' (the Messiah and True Wife) own family.

This was the foundation for the True Parents to be born to the earth where we would live with them for thousands of years.

The Last Days is the time we receive the True Parents who will lay a straight pathway for heaven on earth.  The Lord of the Second Advent, the Messiah, returns to take a bride, known as the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and become True Parents of humankind reversing the acts of the fall of the first parents, Adam and Eve.

The poem above is about the moon and the laurel tree singing of bringing parents and living with them for tens of thousands of years.

If you look closely, the tale has a revelation within it: "..wanting to bring the heavenly parents to earth and live with them for tens of thousands of years..."

Whenever I think about this song, I cannot escape the intense longing in my heart. Don't ever feel bad about having been born as a Korean. In the past, you might have felt pity for yourself for having been born Korean, saying "How is it that I was born in a thatched-roof among these poor Korean people, although Korea boasts of its five-thousand-year history?" 

Father does not feel happy when he hears the song that sings of building a thatched cottage. 

The Korean song that goes "Moon, Oh moon, you bright moon" sings of building a thatched cottage and living there for thousands of years.

How can we bring True Parents to a home with only a thatched roof?  This song connects with the Christian belief of the Second Coming and with the belief in a savior to come that is present among all people and nations.

The son about the moon, tells us about attending the parents.  Which parents?  Your neighbors' parents, your own parents?

This is about attending the parents and the grandparents on both the father's and the mother's side.

This song sing praises of the people's long cherished desires.  This is why we even have a concept of True Parents.  True love that can bring us to live together for thousands of years comes from and is taught by the True Parents.

We have a desire to live with both sets of parents. 

Parents symbolize masculinity and femininity with God as the highest authority.

The authority of their sons and daughter should be at least as high as their shadow.  You should not seek to join the movement and keep your old habits and greed which you acquired in the satanic world.

Our church is different from the established churches. It is a place where we wage a battle of life and death, building an altar of love and prepare the arrows of love. We do not go to the Heavenly Kingdom to be judged by God above. 

God is here with us and judges our lives every day.

By attending God with the Messiah, we are able to share in God's pain and in His joy in our daily lives.

Because we attend the True Parents with such a heart, we have not come to ruin through this age of tribulation.  We received many blessings and protection in these Last Days of turmoil.

Can God die?

No, God is alive.

Today, having achieved global victory, I have returned to this nation. Our nation is divided and I must reunite it. While we build a unified nation of North and South Korea, you must also establish your own nation, people, tribe and family. It is simple now for Unification Church members, because your Parents have completed the entire indemnity mission.

Once you are able to know the real God and True Parents, then everything will be finished. You can become true husband and wife, and real, true sons and daughters by attending and connect to the True Parents' true lineage like a wild olive tree engrafting to a pure tree.

You must be able to love them.  Once you have loved them and liberate your brothers sisters, the twelve apostles, and 120 disciples on the satanic side, then you can love your owns sons and daughters, and bring them to live with you forever. 

"Moon, Oh Moon, you bright Moon, Moon loved by the poet Lee Tae-baek!
Oh Moon, on you grows a laurel tree.
I want to chop it down with a jade axe and trim the branches
with a gold axe to build a thatched cottage.  I want to bring my parents
and live with them there for thousands of years"

The Korean people can receive this song as the chosen people.

This song is a prayer that sings praise for eternity.  The meaning behind it is about attending one's parents for thousands of years in a thatched house.  You probably don't know what that is.  This means you have to start at the bottom from the individual level to restore the ancestor's path of the fall.

Without serving your parents in a thatched cottage you cannot find the royal parents. 

You then organize a tribe and then a people from the tribe.  

Where is the base where God's love and human love harmonizes?

God created human beings because of love.  Even God is lonely by Himself.

God created people because He wanted to live in love for thousands of years.  Even if we only live in a meager cottage, we still want to live with parents forever.

This is the same with the ideal God.  It is amazing that God is infinitely big, but He can enter a small cottage and still embrace Heaven and earth there and breathe love and live.

Therefore, is this a small house?

If God is there, even a thatched cottage is a palace of the Heavenly Kingdom, a universal palace.

This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook  Cheon Seong Gyeong Book 2, True Parents and us chapter 7

Only One Path to Heaven on Earth

As people of faith what should we focus our lives upon?

God's love, God's life and God's lineage.  These three roots are the standard we should live by.

What should we be grateful for?

You must be grateful for bearing the cross.

You thought that winning would become smooth and nice, only to find you have to bear a bigger cross.

Who will make the funeral arrangements of a defeated army?  Who will train them and turn them into a regular army?

Also, if there is nothing to eat, what should be done?  Should they just be killed off or placed in prison?

Your time will come only after you have resolved this conflict and have rebuilt it.

You can live happily only after you have established a new family that is centered on God.  A new nation and a new world of peace.

How is there any true settlement in a world of chaos?

If there is a way to the eternal world, which is the original good hometown, it may be difficult but this same gauge must be the way of your life on earth.  It must be the same as the way going to the spirit world.

If you examine your lifestyle, do you think that your current life is the same as the railway in the spirit world?  Can you run straight to God's heart just as you are in your fallen state?

True Parents(the Messiah and Pure Wife) who reverse the fallen lineage of the first fallen parents who disobeyed God are needed in order to make the railway the same.

.

Our connection with True Parents is destiny

Human beings are one hundred percent foolish, except God.

God is more than one hundred percent wise.  He is our friend, our ancestors in the infinite spirit world our companions and supporting army.


I am grateful to think about this.  I know very well the feeling of taking risks on the frontline, like the time David stood in front of Goliath. It is the feeling of courage and confidence. If I fight a hundred wars, I can win a hundred wars because God is protecting me.  I have actually become this kind of person because I thought all along, "If you hit me, it is you rather than I who will be shattered." Just as God raised me like this, I have the responsibility to raise you this way.



This is why you must inherit the destiny to become a wise person through the teachings of God's word.

This is not a task which you acquired, but it is your destiny.  Our destiny is to be perfected and engraft to the bloodline of the True Parent.  This fact does not change for eternity.  No one, not even the President or richest man in the world can separate from this destiny.

We must go this path for a thousand years.  Even ten thousand years.

There are not two ways toward the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, a world of peace: only one way.  There is no other method or some secret way.  We all must walk this path.

We must carry out our responsibilities

What must we do to enter the 12 pearly gates of the spirit world?

The main question is how many people can we rescue from Satan's grip on earth and help become heavenly citizens before we enter the spirit world.

 We must shed blood, sweat and tears based on the heart of true love for the sake of recreation.  In order to bring  your own people to the heavenly kingdom, you must invest a higher heart than that of satanic parents, husband, wife and children while walking the course of shedding blood, sweat and tears.

You lay conditions that will enable you to come close to God and to rise to a position of glory in the spirit world based on the number of people you have rescued from Satan and return to God.

Father Moon speaks about his own bloody path toward laying a foundation for world restoration:

"Throughout my life, I have lived not only for the nation but also for the world. Why? Even those who are in the spirit world should receive benefits from True Parents.  On the first of February, while I was in Danbury prison, I conducted a ceremony to open the gates of hell and heaven. I had to prepare everything for opening those gates.

This is why I also had to go to prison(equivalent to Jesus going to prison). In this way, I have to go through great suffering and pain and climb over the hill of bitter sorrow.  No matter how vast the ocean, I must swim across it.

No matter how high the mountains, I have to cross over them, even if they are the snow-covered Himalayas and I have to walk with bare feet. In the same way, I established all the foundations for victory by reaching beyond the misery of history itself.

I went through a path of suffering so great that the devil himself could not follow me, and so he had to fall away."


Reverend Sun Myung Moon

In your own homes, your own sons and daughters hold a solemn position as a second God.

The grandfather and grandmother represent the past on behalf of God.  The mother and father represent the present age, and the sons and daughters represent the future.

We should serve these representatives of the three ages as past, present and future manifestations of God.  Those who deceive their children, their wives, their husbands and deceive their parents will go to hell.

The family, nation, and heaven and earth are supposed to be linked through the core of love that lives for the sake of others.

This is the kind of love which one invests even his life and forgets about it by living for others.

There is no other way.  To see a heavenly world of peace, we must restore many people that have a high standard of heart that is connected with such a core of love.

This is the secret to accomplishing the unification of the country of North and South Korea, which is the last puzzle piece to world restoration.

When you go to another nation, you must devote all of your efforts for that nation, as if you were unifying your own country, so it does not fall behind other nations.

You should offer that nation first to heaven.

The Old Testament Age, all possessions and things were offered; the New Testament Age, sons and daughters were offered through sacrifice.

Now, we are in the Completed Testament Age, restored couples are sacrificed.

The Fall severed our direct connection to God's sinless blood lineage.  We served Satan and separated from God.  We should now bring God and connect everything back together.  Your possessions are not your own.

Possessions correspond to the Old Testament Age, and sons and daughters correspond to the New Testament Age.

Things were sacrificed in the Old Testament Age to pave the road for the sons and daughters.  Today, the returning Lord, or True Parents, has suffered in order to bring God to this earth.

Since humanity served and brought Satan to earth, we ourselves must bring God back to earth and serve him.  We should link to God through true love and be acknowledged as possessions of God.

When these are connected to true love, you will then be connected to the age of children's possessions again.  Then these will be distributed for ownership to mother, father and children.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Unity Arises From Love

This post was rewritten and derived from, True Parents and Us from Cheon Seong Gyeong 

The Atmosphere in Spirit World is Love

Have you ever wondered what the atmosphere in spirit world is? Do you breathe there and if so do you breathe air?

We are each born in love which represents God, live in love and reach the destination of love by having sons and daughters.  Then we return to God and live with Him eternally.

In other words, our life begins with love, matures in love and then becomes the fruit of love.  Thus, a person's death is the point at which the fruit of love is harvested.

Death denotes a second birth at the end of our physical life. 

The place where our second birth occurs, or the place we go after death,  is spirit world.

Once we enter that world, we receive a supply of true love, which represents the entire universe, from God who is the third Parent.

The spirit world is a world where we breathe love and live in love. 

If you fail to develop a character of complete true love while you are on earth, your travel will be restricted, and you will not be able to pass through all four directions in spirit world.

Even if you were able to get past the gate of your confinement, you will not be able to go any further.

As the previous post discussed, you must then develop your character of loving completely during your life on earth.  This is the way to be qualified to live in rhythm with the four seasons regardless of time and place.

To die is to be reborn in God's love.

Even though death is a new birth, people make a big fuss screaming out that they are dying.  God laughs loudly at this.

It is the equivalent to a baby who cries as he is being born unaware of the new life of air which he will live.  He cries as he leaves the world of water, fearful there is no other way to live.

Going to the spirit world is leaving the world of limited love to one of unlimited love.  

The moment of death is the moment of a second birth.  That path is the path of ascension.

We should overcome death.

Death is not meant to be a sad occasion.  It is a leap into a new world.  An ascension.

Death is the process of change opening the way to a second life.

The secular world views death as the end of life.  But death really means to be born anew into another world.  Therefore, you should not be depressed, sad, or anxious when you think of death.

We should rejoice of this passage to the new world, with the idea of people being reborn in spiritual triumph after having lived a life for the sake of God's mission.

If you become immersed in sorrow or grief, this will only pull the spirit of a person who was on the way to heaven back down to earth.

This occasion of entering the spirit world is like a person being born to another world through the womb of the second mother which is the universe.

This also can be compared to a wedding ceremony.  How could this then be a sorrowful moment?  It is like an insect emerging from its cocoon, throwing away its hard shell and taking on a new form, becoming a new being, or a new essence.

The reason we must die is that our body's ability to love is limited. 

Our life on earth was meant for us to grow into maturity of love centered on God.

As God's true object partner in true love, to possess His God's true authority, our limited bodies will not suffice.  This is why we have to make the transformation to being an incorporeal spirit

Through this process, we are able to share the ideal of love equally with all of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the moment of death is not a path of pain, but instead it is the starting point of opening the gate of happiness, through which we can possess universal true love.

We must collect all of God's love that has been strewn all over our lifetime and take it with us to the spirit world.

That is what we received from our parents' love, shared the love of husband and wife and loved our children.

When a husband and wife unite and realize the three stages of love, when they go to spirit world, they become the eternal object partner to the God.  God is the ultimate subject partner.

This will take place when a husband and wife of true love pass away.  They begin with God and end with God.

Life on earth and the life in the spirit world are not separate.

Life in the spirit world is connected to earthly life.  Both are important.  But the people who live on earth today are not aware of eternal life.

Thus, they believe that this life on earth is so important.  That is the problem and situation of today's society.

Even after being taught this through Divine Principle, many people still do not deeply understand how greatly their actions on earth affect their eternal life.

Normally, humans stay in the mother's womb for nine months, are born and live on earth for a certain time then they die.

Therefore, lacking knowledge about the world after death, they fear death as they grow older.  This fear and anxiety grows as they age.

The spirit world is a place that is totally covered with the ingredients of love. 

The earth is immersed in air, but the spirit world is covered with love.

While we live on earth, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.  In the spirit world they live inhaling love.  The love they give and receive in the spirit world is true love.

Once a person dies, they are to live in the spirit world for eternity.

As soon as a baby is born and breathes through his nose, this connects it to the second world.  That is the world of air.  In order to come into the world of air, we have to destroy the umbilical cord and the water bag where we lived in the womb.

At the time of death to the world of the womb, the baby is born to mother earth.

Then we eat with our mouth and breath with our noses.  The food that we eat on earth is just for the nutrition for the life of the physical body.  Food is not an essential element of spiritual life.

The key element of life is none other than love. 

Therefore, while we have our earthly life, we should inhale the air called love.

We should breathe the air of love we receive from our mother and father.

Since the first parents did not fulfill the requirements of building a palace of love, True Parents must open this palace in spirit world.  Then all beings in the entire spirit world will take their positions around it.

Once Adam and Eve, you and I, reach perfection and go to the spirit world, they will be God's body and God will be their mind.

Therefore, God will be invisible even in the spirit world.

God produced humanity as a way to reflect the mind and body of creation, the substantial world.

After looking around even the back streets of the spirit world, I found the principle of heaven and earth was something simple. In other words, the truth is simple. 

God enters where two things form a vacuum after uniting through the power of absolute energy.

He comes in and becomes the core of the bone marrow.   Here, man's love and woman's love strongly unite.  This is the core of the universe.  The ideal embodiments of love join together and form the axis of love.

Earthly and spirit world move facing each other.  When the earthly world goes up, so does the spirit world and vice versa.  When one side turns, the other side turns also.

We should live life deeply, feel these things and use them to benefit our eternal life.

Our eternal life and our present life are not divided.

Where do we eventually end up?

Spirit world has been called the world after death.

But in reality, it is not the world after death because it is a world related to love.


The spirit world began with true love; therefore, although I stand in the position of true love here and now, it is the same as being in the spirit world. This is why love is great. 

Thankfully, God created human beings in such a way that they can live forever intoxicated in true love.  Once we purely know this, then aging is not our enemy.  People begin with love, live with love and then harvest the fruits of love at death.

These are the loves we harvest: parents and children's love, shared conjugal love, loving our children, and together with God's love and all other internal loves, bear the fruit throughout our lives.  These loves we take with us to spirit world.

Have you wondered what the population of the spirit world might be?

When you think of the number of people on our side compared to the number of those in hell, do you think we will lose or win over the world?

When you go to the spirit world countless saints, sages and ancestors will get together to have a discussion.  They will wonder where you came from where did you live on earth?  Your grandfather and tens of thousands of ancestors will meet you.

Think about this: if they yelled at you for living such a dirty life can you feel good?

What will you bring as a special gift to the spirit world?

The martyred saints, loyal servants of God will be lined up in front of you.  Will you be able to confidently offer them anything from your earthly life?

The church has suffered greatly for the sake of the restoring the world into an ideal world of peace.  What kind of hardships for others have you gone through individually?

If you have not gone through as much as the saints have, how can you say that you live for the sake of the nation and the world?

You have indeed suffered, but I do not think of it as suffering. That is reasonable to say. There is a path still ahead of us. We should be able to go to the spirit world, open our bag, and say, "This is the gift I have been preparing my whole life to give. Please accept it." 

When a woman marries, she takes many things from her home to their new home.  Should you go empty-handed when you go to the Kingdom of Heaven?

Even though your body ages as you get older, the longer you live as husband and wife and the more you love one another, the younger your spirit gets.

This means that the longer a person lives, the more his or her spirit becomes a mature and beautiful man or woman of the higher degree.

What is life like in the spirit world?

Why do you think they do not worry about food, living or clothing there?  You do eat in the spirit world as well, did you know that?

Because everything you desire is possible according to the level of your spirit.

Even though you have a spiritual body it is the same.  When you touch yourself in spirit world, you will be able to feel your pulse, feel your blood flowing.

In the spirit world, you will not long for anything because nothing is missing.  You would only long for a true person.

Therefore, the meritorious servants who have made effort in order to raise a true person will naturally become sons and daughters of glory in the heavenly world.

There is nothing you can be proud of except this. 

Are you able to see your mind?  the spirit world is where you mind takes form. As many gurus profess in our time, your thoughts become immediate reality in spirit world.

It is a world that transcends time and space.  There, you can eat whenever you want and you do not have to worry about your food, water or about drinking.  There is no need to worry about clothes.

The spirit world is a place where you rise above the need for clothing, food and shelter. 

There are no car factories or textile factories there.

It is a place where you can move millions of miles in an instant.  What power can do that?  By the force of love.

If you want to see your loved one, he will appear before you.  You can go everywhere in the spirit world at any moment because there will be nothing to block your path there.

If you have the original characteristic of God, you should not be blocked.

Spirit world transcends time and space, therefore those who died millions of years ago are still there now.  They can be any age they choose.

The spirit world resembles a person.

God, who is the Subject, and the spirit world, which resembles a big person, will be united.

When the two unite, the entire spiritual and physical worlds will be euphoric.

When God laughs, the earth laughs, when God jumps, so will the earth.  That is how it should be.

There are no explanations or excuses there.  You will sense what is going on immediately at the slightest indication.  Nothing is hidden in spirit world. You will know the hierarchy of love.

It is different from the earthly world.  Those who have used deceit and slander to succeed will find that the situation is turned around there.

Deceitful people will face failure in the spirit world.  This is why you should follow the right way.

Whoever is in a higher position naturally stands in position according to that hierarchy.  This hierarchy is absolute.

What are you going to do in your lives? Let us leave behind a mound of love. 

If you live in a mound of love while on earth, then you will have no regrets once you pass to the next world.

Such a life will succeed forever.  God will bless you after living in such a way.  His sons and daughters will welcome you.

If the spirit world's atmosphere is true love, then you are unable to eat, breathe, or move if you did not practice true love while on earth.

Hell is the place where you cannot eat even though you see food.  You do not have the right to eat.  Even though you want to take action, you cannot move.

Only those who have led a life while on earth in which the spirit world and body become one in God's love can possess the heavenly kingdom or the eternal world of the ideal.

Those who were able to exercise the highest standard of love will be able to exercise God's authority in that world.  You need to love God more than the world, nation, your spouse or child.

Everything has to be born through love and shall live in love.  You should become filled with love by living for the sake of others.  

Once you have reached this standard, only then will you become the substantial being of God's hope which He has longed for throughout history.  You will be welcomed wherever you go in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Living in a family is preparation for you to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. 

When you expand your family training in four directions, you create a realm in which love is practiced.

By living in this way you will go directly to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Because the spirit world is infinitely vast, you can travel even millions of miles instantly centered on love.

Love is the fastest.

When we compare the spirit world to earthly life, earth is like a speck of dust.  You do not realize how immense the spirit world is.

It is an infinite world that transcends time and space.

It is a world where your intuitive senses become reality.

If you were to say that you wanted such and such a person that was born and lived during such an age with such an heart, he would appear instantly.

God created the spirit world so beautiful, that you will never tire of looking at it even after a thousand years.  Even the best things found on earth are nothing in comparison to even a small corner of the spirit world.  You cannot even imagine it.

So, earth holds no interest for me. Honestly speaking, I want to go back because this earth does not fit my purpose.

If your heart is filled with love, when God looks at you, you shine brighter and brighter.  From God's point of view, this light is more beautiful than the light of a diamond.

The more He looks at it the more He loves it.  This is the reason God uses the term 'love'.

As we now know, the air in spirit world is love.  

Love is the essence of life. 

You do not breathe through your nostrils in that world, but through the top of your head and through all of your cells.

Thus, if you want to live such a free, full life in spirit world, you must first completely develop a character of love during your earthly life.

When you go to spirit world, you find that those who deeply experienced the love in their family between parents, husband and wife, brothers and sisters and children, they enjoy a great deal of freedom there.

They are able to go anywhere in any direction without restrictions.

On the contrary, those who have not had any experience of love, who are narrow-minded, will be isolated in spirit world and have no freedom.

In the spirit world, God's love is law. 

The spirit world is an eternal place that seeks eternal elements.

Thus, a spirit that deeply experienced love will be drawn like a magnet to that world automatically.

What kind of place is the spirit world?

Spirit world is a world or harmony where everything is made of love and packed with love.

Everyone wants a relationship of love.  This is because they desire this in order to be in rhythm with the spirit world.

Every person on the earth is moved by the power of love.

Everyone becomes an object partner to the power of love.  There would be no one who would not answer when asked with love.  Love can call upon everything to make it possible.  Love also has the power to make things reappear.

The spirit world, therefore, is a world of free and unrestricted movement where a heart filled with love makes everything possible.

You must be able to unite the spirit world.  If you are not able to control the spirit world, you cannot unite the earth.  Therefore, world peace is not possible until this is first accomplished on the individual level.

If Heavenly fortune comes from heaven, how can those who are unable to control heaven unite the world?

Before we could ever think about uniting the world, we must first unify spirit world.

You are resurrected human beings of history who have been born from your ancestors, resembling them. 

How long has history gone on?

Science says that human history is hundreds of thousands of years.  All of history has been working hard to create this one person who is you.

If you are a Kim, you can think of all the countless ancestors of the Kim family that have come and gone in order for you to be born.

So, we are the fruit of history.

You should visit your grandparents grave thinking of them as God.  Up to this point in history, people in the spirit world have been divided.

Things do not connect horizontally.  They partly connect vertically.

In the spirit world, a murderer and their murder victims are gathered together glued through the revengeful emotions of the victim.  Even if the victim was a good person, they are tied forever to their murderer out of the need to seek revenge.

They fight with knives against the perpetrators.  This is why there are so many barriers blocking the way.  Sometimes these evil spirits go to their enemies' descendants on earth and cause them to have fatal accidents.

These problems must be resolved in the earthly world.

You on earth have to offer a better solution, a more pleasing offer so the evil spirit with resentment can see it as more important than someone's death.

More important than whatever it was that caused them to have such hate seething with revenge.

People go toward the spirit world.

Spirit world is like the sea.  Everyone has no choice but to go there.

Just as there are currents in the sea, there is unparalleled harmony taking place there.

The tide of the sea bring beings of harmony and change that are not found in the fresh water.  Just as there are countless fish families in the sea, there are countless new families of heaven and earth in the spirit world.  It is the same when you go to the spirit world.
