The 'Self' is the Ticket to Hell

What is the greatest obstacle to entering heaven?

Yourself is your greatest enemy.

Hell and the satanic world were created when humanity became aware of ‘self’.  Lucifer took actions centered on himself.  He intensely thought of himself and gratifications only.

What is a traitor?

A person who puts himself before his nation is called a traitor to the nation.  Same with a family member before his family.

This path leads to hell and leads a person to ruin.

This foundation called the self, and centered on the self, leads to death.

Wanting to receive love is the path to hell and belongs to Satan's side. 

On the other hand, the path that wants to give love is the path to heaven and belongs to heaven’s side.
Parental love is on the side of heaven.  It continues to give even when the child refuses to receive.

Though all humankind is fallen, the true path still remains through parental love.

Because God is a parent, and we are His children, that kind of love still remains in fallen human beings.
Where are you headed?

“I will go to the spirit world and stay at the highest point of all kinds of love. Just as there is a North Pole and a South Pole, there is a Love Pole. No matter how hard you try searching at the half way point, or however much you go around, you will not find me.

“Since you cannot find me, you might say, "Rev. Moon went to hell." Would it be easy to stay at the highest point? "I will not freeze to death at the North Pole. I will be like a fireball of love!"

This is a great ideal and a great system of thought. So, everything will be fulfilled. Even God is inside me. The people of the world are inside me. Those who say that they will inherit love are of my tribe! You're not offended?”

If God was to visit hell, all of the satans there would bow their heads to Him.

Even Satan cannot oppose absolute love. 

All the gates of hell would open for God.

This is the basic rule for all relationships of all creation.  The mind has no boundaries.  God is like this; He does not have any boundaries in His mind.

If God wants to go to heaven, He can go there; if He wants to go to hell He can go there, too.  This means there are no walls in the mind of God.

A person who is on his way to his own execution would detest any clothes they wear no matter how elegant they are.

But if someone’s clothes were made by loving hands of his wife, no matter how ugly they might be, the clothes would shine extremely brightly.

We can conclude that anything done out of the essence of love will be welcomed by God wherever it goes. 

Even if something made out of love was to go to hell, God would go and be there with it.

People who go to prison for the person they love, they are not really in prison.

They are in a place that deepens the bond between them.  Therefore, true love can both control God at the highest of hell and at the lowest level.

This principle is the same throughout creation in the earth and in the world of plants and animals.  They all like the song of love.

When you wake up in the morning, would you like to hear the sound of birds singing love songs or the sound of them fighting one another?

Of course, you would like to hear their song of love.

In this universe there are no borders in places that have true love. 

Those who live with true love have what it takes to pass through any place.

They have the ingredients to control God and hell.  Love has the strength to break down barriers and go anywhere.

Love became the pillar that let this universe come into being. 

In the same way, love, false love became the pillar that supports hell.

How difficult it is to make this right after something like this went so wrong.  Even if you wash it with a powerful bleach, because love makes up its root, it becomes tainted again.

Only the strength of true love can make total unity. 

Words of love would even make Satan in hell and the entire world say “Mmmm”.

The power of love makes everything become one. Is there anyone who can deny this?

Our work of restoration is building a cable car from the human world that is in the depths of hell to the highest summit where God is.

What is that cable made of?

If we made this connection with just money, it would snap in an instant.  What about with just knowledge?  Even a cable made with authority will not be enough.

A cable made of love that transcends the top and the bottom should be used to hang the cable-car so it can run smoothly on the cable.

What is a clown’s major job?

It is to make people happy and dance around.  If you cannot dance, at least keep up with the time.

If God was to see church members dancing in such a place, He is not so stingy to say, “Oh, dear, you as the founder of the Unification Church are found keeping time with a clown, then you go to hell.”

God is amazing.  But we have limited Him to our simple thinking.

God’s mind is not small like the leg of an ant.  We haven’t really realized that He is such a great God that if He opens His mouth to inhale all the air in the universe, He still have room to spare.

When we look at God’s providence throughout history, do you think that He send people in the spirit world to hell and only works to restore those on earth?

Since God is love in the highest sense, wouldn’t He desire that His providence of salvation be completed even if it crosses the borderlines of hell? Or He would not recognize those in hell and not mind they suffer for eternity?

The human mind is not like crystal but like ice. 

The mind has all sorts of odds and ends frozen within it after the Fall.

We work to melt it to get rid of these odds and ends and make it into a lump of pure ice that God could suck.

You can only be restored into a lump of ice that belongs to heaven rather than hell once you think you will become pure ice that God likes.

Effects Sex Before Marriage on a Person

We unfortunately live in a society where people no longer wait for the person they are to marry to have sex.  Those who do are ridiculed and thought of as abnormal.

God intended for the fruit of sex to be opened between two marriage partners.

God being of love, would also participate in this event and the children which are born from this activity.

Many young people do not know the devastation from becoming sexually involved too soon has on their mind, spirit and developmental growth.

Therefore, we have listed six effects having sex outside of a secure relationship has on a person.  We continue from our discussion yesterday: Sex Before Marriage Disrupts Growth of Heart and Character


3. Guilt, Regret and Diminished Sense of Worth

In Genesis, Adam and Eve experienced shame after they ate of the fruit which produced the Fall.

Since sexuality is linked to the conscience, it is no surprise that misdirected love commonly yields a harvest of guilt and loss of self-respect.

When people have used the most valuable part of their bodies to gain pleasure or love or security, they cannot but feel degraded, even if they are not conscious of the loss for some time. 

Many experienced teenagers say they regret losing their virginity the way they did.

Both old and young men say that they are haunted with guilt that what was just a pleasurable ride for them was a moving expression of love and commitment for their partner.

Females are more sensitive to how something sacred has been violated with premature sex.

They may feel shame for violating the more of their parent’s or their faith community.

Abortions add weight to the partner’s distress.  Infidelity within marriage creates its own guilt-ridden hell for the cheater.

Once the cheater wakes up to the devastation they have caused to the lives of their loved one, the self-reproach can be crushing.

One counselor compares this guilt to having killed someone while driving.

Self-forgiveness can be a formidable challenge.

When one looks at sexual attractiveness and prowess as the important reason to have a romantic connection with another, this makes one judge people based on looks and not on who they are.  This behavior creates anxiety in their relationships.

When one is concerned on how they can use another just for sex and not the whole person as a criteria for a relationship, this causes one to have fear that there are more attractive people or those who can perform better.

“Do I still look good enough, perform well enough, please you enough?”


This is tragic when adultery brings this insecurity to the one place that should be safe and secure, the marriage bed.

This undermines the ideal that your partner is unique and irreplaceable.

Jennifer, 30, explains her experience: “The acceptance, even encouragement of premarital sex makes it very difficult to sustain the fantasy that we are the sole
object of love.”

Victims of infidelity often feel they have been trashed.

With this lowered self-esteem, one may enter into other sexual involvements just to prove that they are still desirable.

This leads to even more self-disrespect.

Thus, a vicious cycle of reaching approval through sex, not able to attain this, and thereby compounding one’s desperate need.


4. Heartbreak and Destructive Behavior


All infatuations or romantic involvements of some duration are painful when they break up.

But the break up of emotional ties and expectations of where the relationship was going is intensified even more when sex is introduced.

Studies have highlighted the role of certain brain chemicals in sexual bonding.

Even in casual liaisons, sex acts like a powerful glue which has no easy way to release its grip.

Hearts that bond through sex are unlikely to disengage without being ripped apart in some way.

This trauma, for some, can resemble the pain of divorce.

Others are able to numb or deny the pain through alcohol or pills.

Many men have said that they are so afraid of being hurt like that again that they withhold their hearts even though they give their body to another for moments of pleasure.

This is why young people are indifferent to sexual activity which one commentator called, “oddly disengaged—emotionally cool while physically hot.”

The heartbreak that is incurred and the sense that one has given themselves completely and only received a little in return, not including the fallout of diseases and unwanted pregnancies, can cause young people who engage in sex prematurely to live in despair.

The rate of teen suicide has tripled in the past 30 years in the U.S.  This is ths same time period where teenage sexual activity rose sharply.

Statistics show that girls who lose their virginity are more prone to commit suicide than virgins.  Male peers are more likely to be involved in destructive behavior, such as running away from home, drug use and getting arrested.

The emotional explosion that comes when one is sexually betrayed can lead to extreme rage or lead to violence against former or new lovers.

Other emotions can be exhibited from the break-up of a sexual liaisons: stalking, assualt and homicide when jealous lovers become a daily even.  Countless people live in fear of retaliation by an ex-lover.


5. Spiritual Disorientation


Uncommitted sex encourages a distorted spiritual outlook.

Whether one belongs to a certain religion, one may still have a negative outlook.  First, premature sex gives one the belief in one’s own supremacy of his or her ego.

When one has multiple sex partners, it implies that the ego is the ultimate reality.  One may believe that others are just ‘accessories’ to use and do not deserve commitment just come and go.

When one gets involved in a sexual bond while at the same time remain aloof from any emotional ties reflects an attempt to split body and soul.  They choose to ‘have sex’ rather than to be with a whole-person union with another.

This buys into the fiction that one who lives in this way may believe that they are free to express oneself through the body and independent.

This kind of reality is unspiritual and denies the connectedness of spirit and flesh and also of oneself.

This view of reality causes one to be pessimistic about the possibility of being faithful.  It also gives the viewpoint of the unreliability of the universe.

Hebrew prophets pointed out that God was absolutely faithful through His covenant and commitment to His children.

Since, humans are made in God’s likeness, the we should and could be faithful to one another in a lasting relationship.

This is the reason adultery is tied to idolatry - betraying the covenant God and ‘having an affair’ with another god.  Jeremiah 3.6, Hosea 1.2

Moving from partner to partner displays a fickleness that is a far cry from the steadfast divine love and the dependability of the created world.

When one treats the mystery of sexuality as just a plaything is irreverent in the extreme.

Religious people use dishonesty to reconcile their own unprincipled sexual behavior with their religious doctrines and perceptions of God.

This only intensifies the disorientation and damage to the spirit.


6. Degradation of Love, Life and Lineage


If one cannot respect the power of sex which allows humans to take on a divine creativity, then they will view few things as sacred.

When sex is cheapened, it tends to lead to a tainted view of its extensions such as love, life and lineage.

These traditional components seem optional and are disregarded when inconvenient.

Love has been degraded so in the dating scene that love is hardly mentioned when discussing sex.

This represents an anemic definition of love where fickle feelings are the focus.

Even in today’s society, a child conceived outside of marriage is still viewed as a curse rather than a blessing.

This is evidence that life and lineage is cheapened through nonmarital sex.

Now unwanted pregnancies is seen as an inconvenience to be taken care of with an afternoon abortion appointment like it was a dentist appointment.

When love is trivialized then life and lineage is tied in with disrespect for the gravity of sexual relations further reinforcing a person’s disorientation of spiritually. Not taking sex seriously, removes one from the Heart of God.

Carson Daly stated that this lowers one’s self-esteem and the feeling that one has been used.  One feels self-contempt for being an user.

Then there is the embarrassment being sexually active outside of marriage can place one out of the circle of people who exhibit true integrity.

The uneasiness that comes from concealing one’s activities from family members and others.

Also, Daly speaks about the extreme difficulty of trying to break the vicious cycle of compulsive sexual behavior, and the self-hatred that comes after each sexual bond is broken.  Then the cycle begins all over again when one has to seduce another in order to revive one’s fading self-image.


Harvest of Selfishness

Though selfishness has an intuitive link to conflict and evil, it is the selfish abuse of sexuality that gives it its most virulent power.


Egoism and being absorbed into oneself is the very definition of immaturity.

When an individual grows up and builds character, then these selfish traits tend to fade.  The big question is why do so many people fail to fully grow up to the full human potential?

Why do some grow to such maturity while other have shallow hearts and small minds and are enslaved to bad habits showing immature behavior close to an animal.

Adam and Eve’s abuse of sexual love is the most critical cause of the original disruption of human growth in morals.

People throughout the ages believe that there is evil and self-destructiveness within every human heart.

This flaw pulls human godly nature down, making it impossible for one to grow fully into their God-like maturity impossible.

Anthropologist Richard Heinberg has observed: “People of every culture and age have insisted that . . . human nature is not natural at all because it has been distorted by some fundamental mistake or failure that has been perpetuated from generation to
generation.”


Reverend Moon defines this fundamental problem as descent from a poisoned lineage, a family tree rooted in self-centered love that bears only fruit of self-centered love.

The forbidden fruit was a metaphor for sexual love, which was ‘picked’ when it was immature and unripe.  This fruit was toxic in flesh and within the seed.

The first ancestors’ unprincipled liaison fundamentally disrupted the matrix of family life. 

“Humanity lost the standard of true parents, spouses, siblings and children,” explains Reverend Moon.

Opening the sexual fruit in its immature state which all humanity inherited hinders the capacity for us to give the truest love and blindness to the true reality of the heart and spirit.  Also, it gave rise to the extreme difficulty of the mind to lead the fallen body.

Catholics call this tendency original sin.  Buddhism attributes this enslavement to the senses.  Judaism calls it an evil inclination.

Freud deemed it the sexual instinct - the most unruly side of the root of the unconscious.

This inheritance, revolving around the heart and sexual desire, derailed moral and spiritual development.


Return for Tomorrow’s Post: Relationships Need True Love to Work

This post was rewritten and derived from the religious book, “Educating for True Love” written by a team of writers to explain Reverend Sun Myung Moon’s philosophy on love and marriage.

Qualities of True Love in Marriage

True love is virtues-based and virtues-driven and a reflection of God’s love.

True love is not selfish, but centered on others.  It is principled, serving, sacrificial and without conditions.

It is unchanging, unique, faithful, obedient and forgiving.

True love is the fuel of all good relationships.  This is even more true in marriage because it is intimate and within close quarters.

1. Other-Centered

Reverend Moon defines true love as living for the sake of others.

Living for the sake of the spouse is the overarching principle of love in marriage.

Dr. Larry Crabbe, author and marriage counselor, concluded that virtually all marital problems boil down to one being self-centered.

Dr. Scott M. Stanley, a prominent marriage researcher explains, “Love is that which will require you at some point to put aside self-interest in favor of the good of the other and the relationship.”

True love is to act for the sake of another. 

Dr. Judith Wallerstein found through her study that couples who were happy “were not envious of what they gave to the other.

They did not dole out kindness with the expectation of immediate reimbursement. They did not weigh their gifts or keep records.


“Supporting and encouraging the other was a given. They accepted this major task not only as fair but as necessary to make the marriage succeed.”


Former First Lady Nancy Reagan revealed to how she had a successful fifty years with Ronald Regan in a BBC interview with Katie Couric.

She mentioned that he was never self-centered, not egotistical and didn’t bring up himself or his stardom, or accomplishments.

Instead, it was each of their selflessness that made their marriage a joy year in and year out.

2. Serving and Sacrificial

Of course it is easy to love when the other loves you back, but it still requires maturity and strength in character to deal with the times when one the emotions are not returned.

This is called sacrifice.

It is a valuable goal when one can love when the personal benefit is not immediately felt.  Such a person hones the art of loving for the sake of the partnership.  This quality is absolutely necessary for growing in love.

Researcher Stanley said, “Love is not remotely possible without sacrifice.”

Mrs. Reagan noted in her interview that giving based on 50-50 or a ’give and take’ relationship is not a realistic option. She said that there are times when one has to give more to the other in order to carry the marriage.

This kind of sacrificial giving in a marriage is needed to develop the spirit and the realtionship through the practice of virtues

Giving to the other should not negate the self or bring about a loss of autonomy.

Nor should giving cause you to become someone’s doormat.

When one can give of themselves it means that one has a self from which to give.

A true love relationship does not exhibit dependency upon the other or codependency.  Rather it is a relationship between two people who are already developed and developing their relationship with God.

Therefore, such people are capable of sacrificing for the other without losing their identity or dignity in the process.

Through this right kind of giving, people become bigger, better and more whole.

Further, they serve and sacrifice to bring down God’s abundance of love.

Reverend Moon says, “God is creator and the originator of the two basic principles of service and sacrifice.”

When a person can sacrifice and give up themselves, he or she attracts the love and energy of God to anything, including marriage, he or she engaged in.

3. Forgiving

Forgiveness is an important part of love.



It is necessary for us to forgive as God forgives because all people fall short of one another’s needs and expectations.

It is inevitable that a spouse will hurt and neglect the other at one point in the marriage, be unable to answer the other’s needs or desires, or fail to live up to the other’s expectations.

If one is not able to forgive, the marriage becomes one full of hurts, grievances and accusations.

Forgiveness is based on the other person’s situation and difficulties and placing oneself “in the other’s shoes.”

Having the sense to forgive arises from empathy.

It may be easier for a spouse to forgive if they can see the reasons behind the other’s less-than-perfect behavior.

One who is humble about their own faults and failings which need to be forgiven as well makes spouses more prone to forgive their erring partners.

4. Unchanging

Even the most stable marriages will enter into turbulent times.  A marriage that is based solely on changeable romantic love feelings alone will not be able to have the foundation to weather the up and downs of marriage.

Every marriage experiences times when the partners need to persevere through the challenges that arise.

Only couples who have a steadfast commitment will be able to persevere when they no longer ‘feel’ like going on, when the disillusionment of marriage sets in - when conflicts are hard to resolve.




Unchanging love is the determination to remain truly loving no matter what, taking responsibility for what one puts into the marriage, good or bad, and seeking to enrich the love within the marriage by following God’s ways.








When one deserts their spouse for selfish reasons, in essence, they also desert God and the blessing and grace that becomes available through such a sacrament.

The major religions of the world condemn those who break their marital covenant.

“I hate divorce . . . do not break faith,” declares the Creator through the prophet Malachi (2.16).



Muhammad said about divorce as “the lawful thing that God hates most” (Hadith of Abu Dawud).

Jesus also said that God allowed those to divorce because their hearts were hardened but it was not part of His original plan from the beginning. Matthew 19.8

Genesis 2.24 states that, “for this reason a man will leave father and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” Then he added, “What God has joined together, let man not separate” (Matthew 19.5-6).


It may be necessary for a couple to separate or divorce, but some couples plainly just give up for far simpler matter than desertion or adultery.

The vast majority of marriages can and should be saved.

Contrary to popular belief, researchers have found that unsatisfactory marriages do not poorly affect children.  The only cases where children are harshly affected was in high-conflict marriages.

Children thrive best when both their parents’ mutual presence are in their lives regardless of how dissatisfied the parents feel.

Children that were raised in high-conflict homes closely resembled children who came from broken homes.

This does not mean that such a couple should divorce for the sake of their children.  On the other hand, they should work to amicably solve their conflicts and possibly seek professional help if needed.

Couples at risk, should arrange times to discuss their problems when the children are not around or in hearing distance.

Gallagher and Waite have shown in their research that many marriages which started out unhappy later their marriages had changed after five years of sticking it out.

Some marriages that started out in conflict were much happier through their commitment.  They were rewarded with satisfactory marriages worth waiting for.

In order to have a committed marriage, it requires each individual to give to the marriage, the partner.

In today’s fast-paced society, there are many ways to find an escape in the marriage such as through the Internet, television, having a preoccupation with work or children or through other hobbies.

These are ways for people to avoid facing the difficult emotions or to avoid intimacy itself which is threatening to many people.  Finding an escape from the hard times of being married may bring only temporary joy, but will not bring long-lasting marital satisfaction.

Sometimes, a couple may not invest in the marriage out of sheer inertia.

For a couple to stay faithful, it requires for them to invest in their relationship, including sexually and save energy in order to face one another on a constant basis.

A relationship thrives when it is built on an unchanging, steadfast love that will provide an emotional safety net.

Commitment soothes relational fears and opens the way for intimacy. 

When the other partner makes a true commitment, it will soothe any fears of abandonment other partner may have.

Such a relationship will gradually make one feel secure and the partner will thrive within the marital bond.

Commitment allows for freedom—the freedom to let go and explore new horizons because the home base is secure.

In order for the couple to grow together, they need to have an unchanging devotion to one another.

Marital therapist Harville Hendrix says, “I want couples to know that, in order to obtain maximum psychological and spiritual growth, they need to stay together not for three months or three years or even three decades, but for all of their remaining years.”

Commitment is the ground that marital love needs in order to blossom.

5. Faithful

Sex is unique to the marital relationship.

Out of all the relationships one has, sex is added to the picture in marital relationships.  Therefore, faithfulness takes on a new dimension of meaning and significance.

To attain oneness, men and women need to be sexually faithful to one another. 

The sexual act causes two to become ‘one flesh’.

This establishes a bond between a man and a woman, therefore, one cannot become one with one person, then one with another, then one with another without physically tearing themselves apart psychically.

Catherine Wallace, author of For Fidelity, maintains that a deep psychological and emotional union is physically enacted in sexual intercourse.

Not only the body is involved. “We cannot split ourselves into parts,” she says. “Body and heart or soul are one.”

A person’s deep emotions and psychological being simply cannot be revealed to anyone other than the spouse.

A person’s sexuality should only be revealed to a person’s spouse because it symbolizes and embodies the intimacy of marriage.


“With my body I thee worship,” say the Anglican wedding vows, putting sexuality in marriage within a framework of worship and holiness. Indeed, Reverend Moon sees the sexual organs of husband and wife as representing the Holy of Holies in the Jewish tradition (Hebrews 9.3).

One’s marital partner is the only “high priest” or “priestess” who is qualified to come  worship in the temple of one’s body.

The sexual act is such a bonding between two people that has no place outside of holy matrimony.

Theologian Derrick Sherwin Bailey calls sexual intercourse “the psychophysical seal” of marriage.

He maintains that when sex is not under the guise of marriage, the seal is irrevocably made.  Even though the two may not have any intentions of fulfilling the other portions that require one to become one, sex bonds two people.

This ‘false’ bond with the wrong person will interfere down the road with their ability to truly become one with the person they eventually choose to share their life with.

God has stringent laws for sexual intercourse because when it is entered with anyone besides one’s lawfully wedded spouse, either before or after marriage, it results in entanglements of soul and psyche and possible interferes with having a clear, godly lineage.

Only if the marriage bed is inviolate can two vulnerable beings meet and become one. 

People long for intimacy with another and oneness, but it is only available on the foundation of deep and abiding trust.

Trust is built upon the virtues inherent in true love, other-centeredness, service, sacrifice, being able to forgive and an unchanging commitment to one another despite any circumstances.



Return for Tomorrow's Post: Redemption Through Marriage


This post was rewritten and derived from the religious textbook, "Educating for True Love" written by a team of writers to explain Reverend Moon's philosophy on love and marriage.

Value of Sexual Organs - More Than U Thought

Even though Communism was defeated officially through the falling of the Berlin Wall, it still exists and is followed wholeheartedly by multitudes of people through force.

The ideals that we find happiness and salvation through the materials we achieve was based upon, not any religion, but the ideology of Communism.

Communism had a mission to bring about world peace but through force and without God.  In fact, under the communistic regime, anyone who pronounces any sort of faith was murdered or persecuted.

We were able to see the trend of this ideology take over the Western world beginning in the 1980s.
\
The 'me generation' was the first generation which alluded to the fact that the trend of materialism was taking over the ideals of spirituality and religion.

The Me generation was the label given to children raised during that era, who were no longer about humanity and their neighbors, but their own joy, suffering and accomplishments.  It was the first generation, raised by the idealist of the 60s, where America truly begin to see the slip in values.

What is the basis of individualism; where does it begin?

No one can claim anything as his own; God owns everything and bequeaths it to His children.

When a child grows up, through the love of his parents, 99.999 percent of his existence springs from the mother's bone, flesh and blood which combines with his father's .001 percent of the father's sperm.

When you break this down, you do not see any concept of "myself alone" in nature.

Nothing Was Created for its Own Sake

No one is born with the concept of "myself".

No matter how great any of us are, we cannot claim that we became great all by ourselves.  Bone, flesh and blood and the important parts of our body are all inherited from within our mother's womb.

Every essential element of our body is included in the egg and sperm.

There is no exception.  Therefore, there is no base or foundation for any self-centered individualism.

When you think of above, you automatically acknowledge below.  Will individualism be able to stand with the concept of above by itself?

There is not a concept of the individual by itself.  

This is not part of the creation which exists in pairs.

When we talk about right, it presupposes the existence of left.  In the relationship between front and back, front presupposes back.  The word man also cannot exist by itself - it presupposes woman.  This is not just the claim of any person, but is a universal fact.

Why did God create man?

Usually a man said that they would be perfectly fine if they live alone by themselves and they do not care why they were created.

Despite this fact, man was created for the sake of the woman.  Without women, there is no need for a man.  Actually, nothing in creation is made for its own sake.

Take our five senses for example.

Are our eyes created for looking at themselves?  In the same way, our nose, ears, mouth and hands were created for the sake of our partner - not for ourselves.

The force that can mobilize and focus the five senses is true love.

 Eyes, nose, ears, mouth and hands are the tools that were created for the sake of true love.

If people take things that do not belong to them without permission for their own use, we call them thieves.

Therefore, any person who uses his five sense and even his body just for his own sake alone is a thief.  This is because these were created for his wife and future descendants, not for his own sake.

What is the main difference between men and women?

Of course, their bodies and the sexual organs in particular.  Then who absolutely needs the male organ?

It exists for the sake of the woman.

One of the sexual organs is concave and the other is convex.  Why are we created in this way?

Because each of them exists for the sake of the other.

You did not know that the female organ absolutely belongs to man.

Who thinks of such a concept in the time of women's equality that says women and man should be equal in every aspect of life.  Women absolutely wants what is man's and vice versa.

Through each occupying each other's sexual organs, man and woman come to know love.

Only through the experience of these two becoming perfect in oneness, will they come to know the highest level of love and not the secular form of love of having different partners every night.

Everyone must acknowledge these facts as truth and not deny them.  Today's popular trend is to date as many people in a week or night as possible, but this is far from the ideal way and is the reason marriages have lost value.

An ideal couple comes into being in the place where the two achieve complete unity.  Absolute love exists in that very place.

God would come to dwell in such a place of unity where love is absolutely unchanging.

Man Owns Woman and Woman Owns Man

How does the subject and object, or yin and yang unite?

Would it be through kissing?

Love is abstract and not concrete.  Do you know what makes a man a man and a woman a woman?  It is none other than their sexual organs.

Who dislikes these organs?

Up until this point, you may have not known the virtue in valuing the sexual organs.  From now on we should cherish them.

What will the world be like in the future?

It will be a world that will not abuse their sexual organs, but will absolutely cherish them.  Will that world be good or bad; will it prosper or perish?

Which part did God invest the greatest creative effort when He was creating human beings?

If humanity was to be able to completely transcend into traditional fields of morality and religion while being absolutely in harmony with the sexual organs, earning welcoming praise from God, then what kind of world would that be?  Who owns the male and female organs?

The organs of the husband's sexual organ belongs to the wife; her sexual organs belongs to the husband.

Have you ever thought that a person's sexual organ is owned by the person of the opposite sex?

This is a simple truth that cannot be denied.  Even after thousands of years of progress, this truth will not change.  Typically, a man thinks that his sexual organs belongs to himself to do however he pleases.

One believes since they think their sexual organs belong to them that it does not hurt anyone else.  But to carelessly misuse this organ does harm not only to the future spouse, but eventually to the whole of society which degrades through such behavior.

A woman thinks her sexual organs belong to her.  This is why the world is perishing due to this individualistic thinking centered on one self and not God.

Everyone has mistaken the ownership of the sexual organs.

People have thought that love is absolute, eternal and dreamlike, but they were unable to grasp the true ownership of the sexual organs which lies with the opposite sex.

If humanity had known this simple fact, it would not have become the hell on earth as today.

Even thousands of PhD recipients and scholars have never thought of this point of the most important part of the human anatomy.

If you could ask your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, the original ancestors, even God who is the origin of the universe, they would all agree that the sexual organs belong to the spouse.

This is an iron-clad rule which will remain as an universal principle even after the universe has existed for billions of years.

The natural conclusion then is that when you stand before God, He will judge you as either righteous or unrighteous according to this law.  In fact, the Fall originated in the violation of this very law.

Adam and Eve, each thought that their sexual organs belonged to themselves to use as they please even before they were mature.

Because of their selfishness in not listening to God's warning, they were driven out and could not be acknowledged anywhere in the universe.

The sexual organs are reserved for the sake of one's partner of love.  Adam and Eve did not know this.

Why do the sexual organs exist?  They exist for love.  Thus the male and female exist in order to find the pure love of God.

All men and women must become humble when they receive their spouse's love.

Love comes to you through your partner.

There is no love that is separate than love for the sake of others.  We must remember, that we find absolute love wherever we absolutely live for the sake of the others.




Return for Tomorrow's Post: Why We Should Live Eternally

This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook cehon Seong Gyeong book four, True Family, chapter Twelve Section 1,3

To Go to a Higher Realm in Spirit World

This sounds like an easy question, but what is truly the difference between those who are religious and those who are not?

Simply put, religious people believe in setting a standard of how they will live in the higher realms of spirit world their entire lives. In other words, they live their to set up a good life in the other world.

Religion begins from making a decision that you will live with God and meet in the future and living a life that leads to this reunion.

All religions teach substance of discipline, but do not dwell deeply in the details of how to live in society.  Content was taught about substance relating to the eternal, spiritual world based on the realm of God's existence.



The determination of proprietary rights in the spirit world

During this speech, Reverend Moon, reminisced about the days when he had to shiver in a cold room and sometimes go without eating even a measly meal.

He said in those days, he was closer to God.  During those times, he and church members, worried about the nation and the world, even though they did not have any position in the world to do so.

As the foundation they laid grew, they begin to care more about how to attract more people to work for the dispensation of bringing about world peace.

Father knew that knowledge, power or money was a means to bring people to hear such things, but these qualities soon wash away and the things they attract with it will disappear as well.

When we die, no matter how much of these things you acquire in life, you have to leave them behind.  All that you can carry with you to the other side is how much you expand God's love to the world.

The only record that remains in the end is how much you loved humankind and God.  This becomes the standard to decide what you own in the next world.

Every person born on earth came to this world alone, but we cannot go alone.

We must take a lot of people with us.  How many people you witness to God decides how much property you own in spirit world when you get there.

There are no signs that you wear that shows that you were a glorious leader on earth.

Love people

What is important to know is that if you did not have God's love while on earth, you cannot eat when you get to spirit world.

Spirit world is based on the life of living for another person.  The selfish individualism we witness here in society is based on the sinful, archangel's false life and false love, not God's original world.

Hell is in the opposite direction of God's ideal.  It is a place where people only can see food and good things but cannot touch or eat them.  They will have knowledge of circumstances, but will not be able to act upon them.

It is a literal eternal prison where limits and boundaries are abundant.

Yet, if one is able to live a life on earth that is centralized on God's love and is able to have a balance of good spirit world and physical world and live heaven on earth, they will automatically enter heaven in spirit world.

Others who do not live this way or do not unite their good mind to command the evil body centered on God, will not be qualified to go there.

What can we be proud of when we go to the spirit world?


When you enter spirit world and God asks you what did you do with your time on earth, would you be able to brag to him that you spent a lot of money while on earth?

Your pride in front of God on that day will be that you have lived longing for and loving people.  You lived for others to reach the temple of God.

Love God even more

The only thing that is necessary in the other world is to love God more than you love the world, nation, your spouse and your children.

This is the Principle.

When you go to spirit world, will you be able to earn a living or do you do nothing but sleep for hundreds of millions of years?

The answer is neither of these.  According to the standard you acquire while on earth, determines how free you will live in spirit world.  Therefore, a life lived for others allows you to move freely throughout spirit world and have the freedom to eat anytime you want.

Establish the family foundation

Why do we need to have children?

Surely because love is present.  Since God exists, man and woman exist, husband and wife exist.

Next, the descendants are born with God's blood, His love blood.  Here the vertical(heavenly) and horizontal(earthly) blood is mixed.  Therefore, if you are not able to have such children, you will not have a place to rest or play in the other world.

Do you think a couple can have true happiness, if they are just staring at each other face to face for 80 years?  There is a limit to this happiness.  They will be unable to live an interesting full life in this way.

It is necessary to be a daughter-in-law and have grandchildren.

There is no greater happiness for grandmothers and grandfathers than holding their grandchildren.  Those who are unable to have grandchildren, they will not be able to achieve harmony with heaven and earth or be able to keep in step with north, south, east and west in spirit world.

Once you experience many delightful experiences in spirit world, life here on earth is dull in comparison.

If you open your eyes to spirit world, you can see it and eat meals there spiritually while you are still on earth. When you reach this standard, you will never go hungry, even if you do not eat all day.  Your body will feel light and you will never get tired even if you run around all day.

So, why did God even create this world, if living in spirit world has no limits that are experienced on earth?

It is necessary to live on earth in order to give birth to children.  Once you reach spirit world, children are no longer born.

Because you are required to take your whole family with you in order to go to heaven, you have no other choice but to stay this way.

Live centered on the tradition of the realm of the heart

Do you think that you will attend church services while in spirit world?  Will the teachings of religion be necessary in the next world?

It will not.  Catholicism, Buddhism, Christianity will not be necessary.

You will be in the realm where you will be living with God, so religion teaches how to live with God and will be unnecessary.

What will be necessary?

The most precious gift is to be able to receive God's love.

We speak a lot about the realm of heart.

Where is the base?

The world of heart is where there is parental love, true conjugal love and true fraternal love centered on God's love where it can be universally expanded.

In the original world, the conjugal love or love of spouse centered on heaven and earth and the cosmos of a husband and wife is primary.  Instead, the husband and wife living for the sake of one another without a center or base became primary.

Conjugal love is important to practice, but it must be centered on the world.  Our most important question is where do we build and find the foundation of love that meets the standard in that world.

We are working to build that foundation in this world because of that.  We are the only place that has started to build this kind of foundation out of all the different religions.

So, what do we teach?

We teach people how to be successful candidates in the coming world of heart.

When you go pass to spirit world you will meet many people who love their race, you will find many couples, patriots and loyal subjects and saints.  But what about those who have lived centered on the tradition of God's original realm of heart.

The pass with which to enter the spirit world

From now on, when you start something, do it based on God.

This is a basic principle.  You are connected to all realms in spirit world based on how much you lived in accord with or have assimilated that principle.  This is from the realm of hell through the middle realm to paradise and heaven.

Does a person go to heaven when he enters spirit world just because he is a world-famous scholar?

No, he cannot.  This is why religions teach how to deny everything and go forward.  You have to give up everything and go the true way of life.  That is the logical way.

Then what is most precious?  What matters most is how much you have suffered for heaven and how much tears you shed for the world.  That is the ticket to pass through to the other world.

From God's point of view, do you think He feels a lot of joy when He sees a couple centering on themselves leaving Him abandoned?  The ones who think such a way do not have the right thinking or any common sense.

The main one that is the most sorrowful about the situation of the world is God.

His tears which He has suffered and shed until now were not for Himself.

God is still shedding tears for the universe which He created to glorify His children.

Why does God suffer?  Because He is a God of heart.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: What Kind of Place is Spirit World?

This post was rewritten and derived from Cheon Seong Gyeong Book Five, Chapter 2, Section 3

Love is Boundless Giving

Love requires one hundred percent devotion.

God invested 100 percent of Himself when He was creating the universe through His love.

God created the world for humanity, so this is why true love begins with living for the sake of others.

Many atheists believe that God is a ruler that demands to be loved.  God is not a dictator.  God gave His all for human beings, His children.

God stays close to us because He wants to live for us.  This is also why we want to follow Him eternally.

The natural law is to live for the sake of others.  If we are to maintain our existence in the world, we must live in this way.

Only when we live our life for others sake can the connection be made between East and West and between past and present.

When you are able to give and then give again for the sake of others, this places you in the same position as God Himself at the time of creation.

By putting everything you have into something, you create a second self.

This is the same as God investing all of Himself during the time of creation.

God has invested Himself in the process of restoring mankind back to their original position.  The course of restoration through indemnity is the process for each of us to recreate ourselves into children before the Fall.

So, only when we invest everything you have can recreation take place.

The idea of eternal life operates solely when one invests again and again.  You will never come to ruin if you live for the sake of others.  From giving small things, you move on to giving bigger things.

Where does this finally lead?

It comes back to you.  

We still are not satisfied after we have given love.  Instead after you give, you want to give more.  Then you feel ashamed when you are unable to.

Those who feel ashamed even after giving truly are the owners of love.

Within the realm of love, the more you give, the more we receive in return.

The more we do this, the more the power of what we gave is exceeded by the power of what comes back.  In this way, you will never perish; rather you prosper.

There is no way to be prosperous without love.

Also, love can never be exhausted.

When it is set in motion, the greater it gets.  In the laws of mechanics, anything that is in constant motion becomes exhausted in time.

But in the case of true love, the more it is in motion,  rather than being used up, the greater it becomes.

This is the essence of love: when you live for the sake of others, your love becomes greater.  But when you want people to live for you, your love diminishes little by little.

So, what is true love?

It is giving, and then forgetting about what you have given.

True love is giving and giving and then giving some more.  This is a characteristic of God.

Even if you give and give and give, the world of love lasts forever.  The word 'love' is truly mighty.

There is a Korean saying, "One well-spoken word can clear away a large debt."  What that means is that with just one word of love, you can indemnify something even if you have a debt of billions of dollars.

The only power that has the authority to govern the universe of infinite magnitude is none other than the house of love.

Love comes from living for the sake of others.  Even God, the great almighty Creator, has to bow His head to  love.

Although God is almighty, He cannot fulfill love alone.  It can only be attained through a relationship with another.

So, where does love begin?

It does not begin from oneself; it grows and develops through a relationship with a partner.

Where is the root of true love kept?

Even the all-powerful God does not keep the root of love within Himself.  Even though He is the central figure of true love, He does not want to keep love within Himself.  He wants love to take root in the person who is the object of His love.

The more love you give, the more love you have.

You will have the reserve to give more love on a larger scale.  It never ends.

Everything else has an end: money, knowledge and authority all come to an end.  Everything that is connected to human circumstances and sentiment in the world comes to an end.

On the other hand, original true love never comes to an end, no matter how much you continue to give.

Love has such an amazing quality that it continues into eternity.  You cannot fulfill love centered on yourself.  Love does not begin from oneself.  Love begins and is fulfilled through one's partner in love.  Therefore, love cannot be fulfilled without a counterpart.

Even the greatest or wealthiest person in the world cannot attain love if he is alone.  Love is only formed in the relationship between a subject partner and an object partner.

Even the omniscient all-knowing God is unable to feel any stimulation if He attempts to achieve love  just for His own sake.  This is why we need a partner, this was the purpose of creation.

Human beings are the core of the universe.

The core of human beings is life.  The root of life is love.  The root of love is God.  But this love cannot be realized by someone all alone.

God is the origin of love. 

The only beings qualified to be partners in that love with God are human beings.

The word 'love, and the word 'hope' cannot be used in reference to someone who is alone.  Even life only comes through the bond of a relationship.

Life cannot come from being on one's own.

Life and love are the two things that lasts for eternity.  Which comes first?  Life or love.  For God, love did not exist before He did.  Love came to exist after God existed.

For God, love did not exist before He did.  Love came into existence after God existed.

For God, life comes first and love comes second.  But for human beings, love comes first and life comes second.

We were created to be the object partners to God's love and to have His absolute and unique value.

He created man and woman to enter with Him into a partnership of love.  Thereby we are given the greater value than that of even the whole universe.

We are born from love, raised in love and live in love until we die in love.

It is not as if they disappear.  Since the subject of love is an eternal being, unchanging and unique, when we stand before God as the object partner, we have to have the same eternal qualities of life.

God's purpose in creating Adam and Eve was to feel joy. 

This was not the kind of joy of just looking at them or touching or speaking with them.  This joy was based on love.  He created it for the attainment of joy.

Even though God is the Absolute Being, He needs another being to be His partner in love.  God of course had the authority and power to create beings that automatically loved and obeyed Him, but God gave the power to humanity to share with Him in the creation through giving them equal value as His partner in love.

Once human beings are perfected in love as His partner in love, then He becomes the God of happiness.  He is the God who has found His ideal of joy.

God's only dream was to realize the ideal of love.  However, God does not accomplish His dream alone.  Love, happiness or joy cannot be achieved by one entity.  These cannot be realized without a partnership.

Love only manifests from your partner.

When you think your partner is ugly, you dislike him or her and want to withdraw from them.  If the partner is beautiful and good, the dynamics of love are set off that much quicker.

In other words, the workings of love are determined by the qualities of those in partnership, such as their words, beauty, fragrance, and flavor.

Since love comes from the partner, we should bow down and live for that person.  This is why the law of nature instructs us to, "Live for the sake of others."

Since this precious and valuable gift comes to us, when we receive it we should practice the philosophy of living for the sake of others.

This means we must revere, value and live for our partner and spouse.

It is not without meaning that I am vibrant and active in many fields; I do so because I have a purpose. That purpose is none other than to realize the world of love. Human beings exist with the aim of realizing and attaining love. 


Since the purpose of life is to realize true love, our value of existence is also decided by this true love.

Everyone hopes that their partner will have thousands times value or infinitely more value than they have.  In the same way, God wishes for human beings, His partners in love to have infinite value.

Once someone reaches perfection, they achieve a divine nature.

Therefore, he becomes a flawless being as the Heavenly Father and attains the same value.  This was God's original ideal for His world of creation.

What is true love?

It is a love that moves you to want to stay with your partner for a thousand years.  That makes you want to love that person forever.  With such a love like this, there is no hell.  Satan will not be able to touch you or dominate you.

Who would God place as His absolute partner in love?  None other than human beings.

One who has become one with the eternal love of the Creator must also live forever.

This is an important issue for religion.

Religions must establish a logical understanding of eternal life based on a relationship of love.  Eternal life does not lie in a man or a woman.

It does not lie in God.  You must clearly understand that eternal life is in the love of God.

If there is no subject partner in love, you feel empty and lonely.  Isn't this true?

If there is a subject partner of love, then everything feels full and you feel infinite joy.

Only when something is filled to the brim with love can everything else be filled up as well.

You can then give out love infinitely and truly.

You give love with others in order to achieve an ideal and to multiply that ideal.  The world of love transcends distance.  Love is so fast that even light is unable to follow it.  It is the fastest thing in the world.  It is also the brightest and the most perfect.

Love is the only thing that fills things up completely.  Who is closer to the center:  one who is willing to sacrifice love to sustain life, or someone who is willing to sacrifice life for the sake of love?

Which person is closer to the truth?

The one who sacrifices his life in order to attain love is the one closer to the center.  He is what is true.

The one willing to sacrifice love for life is self-centered.  Whereas the one willing to sacrifice life for love is not.

As I wandered through the five oceans and the six continents, I preached earnestly about the path of love. I have sought to shine the light of love on all people, who, living without love, are like a desert. 

If we are ultimately headed toward that other world of love, the most important thing for humanity must be the "love beacon".  That beacon of love can lead humanity to the original homeland.

Once you become one with God, a circular motion manifests in all kind of forms and figures.  This is why the older sibling in the family must love the younger following the example of their parents in loving them.

In such a family that is united into loving oneness, the love within the family will blossom.

Then that love expands to  become the love within a society, and then the love within a nation.  This love becomes the love of the whole world.

Lost within the rapture of love, God created man to live forever.  People are born from love, live in love, and finally they are harvested as the fruit of love.

When you die, you are harvested as a fruit of love. 

We have lived receiving the love of our parents and our children.

After experiencing the love of a couple, we have loved our children as their parents.  Therefore, the love of God and everything we have sown in the inner world of love is to be brought to fruition over the course of our lives.

It is said that when you die, you do not take anything with you, but this is not completely true.

When we pass onto the next world, we will reap the fruits of the kind of life we lived on earth and take them with us.

God maintains life on the foundation of true love.

His omniscience and omnipotence should be based on true love.

Only then can He stand as the ideal subject partner for humankind.  He is the subject partner that transcended all history.

If He wants to be the subject partner with only the power of life, then all things of creation will not want to unite together with Him.

Even microscopic animals and plants wish for a master of love to tend to them and take care of them.  They would like to feel the touch of loving hands.

You should not say, "I'm stronger than anyone else, so you have to listen to me."

Only when love is involved is life set in motion.  The root of life begins in love. The basis for God's continued existence is not life, but love.

Mind Wants Principle, Body Pursues Addiction

A constitution is the base of all laws of a nation.  It is the yardstick for determining what is good and what is evil.

You make a judgement based on a standard which you hold within yourself

If you are a person that does not have principle, then when you view something as good or bad, your judgement has no value.

Random judgments are based on self-centeredness.

A true judgment can only come from a basic law or principle within yourself.  The mind has an unchanging quality, while the body always changes.  The mind should have a permanent foundation.

The body follows the direction dictated by your five senses which are always changing direction.  If your eyes see a lovely flower, then your body will walk over to it.

But the mind is not bound by the five senses.  The mind can refuse to obey, and it gives direction to your body.

Your mind tries to bring the body to the place where all the five senses can be contented.  If the mind favored only the eyes, then the other senses would complain.

The mind takes in account all the five senses.  The mind decides how it will respond to the desires of each sense.  The mind can only make these decisions based on principles.

Actually, we should thank God that we have a conscience as a command post for the body.  Before knowing this, you may have felt bothered by the mind limiting your activities.

Americans look for the comfortable and convenient way of doing things in life.  To those who just want to party and enjoy sex, the conscience seems to be an obstacle to those activities.

When it is time to eat, the body craves delicious food.  It prefers to have delicious pleasures all the time.  Why does the mind put certain limits on what the body desires?

Habits and customs are hard to change, no matter how logical it is to change them.

Addiction to drugs, alcohol and sex are hard to cure.

Have you ever thought how we can truly cure these addictions in our society?  Our lives must be planted on a firm foundation of principle.

If we do not already have one, then we have to create one.  Without standards or principles, we will only cause and see destruction around us.

If there are no principles that bind the parents and children or husband and wife, then the family will fall apart.

The mind wants a principled life, but the body pursues all kinds of addictions. 

Don't you feel the war between your good mind and your sinful body?

This contradiction is a terrible burden.

People feel sorry for mentally ill people, but the reality is, those whose mind becomes sick is even harder to restore.  Religion deals with that world.

A grasshopper doesn't plan ahead for the winter, but instead enjoys the warm weather thinking about how sweet his life is.  Spring and summer always come to an end, however.

We must come to a standard law and principle that should be followed by everyone in their homes, society, nation and world standard based on your conscience.

This standard will be acceptable by everyone and it will be unchanging, eternal and unique.

Thus, we conclude that the conscience provides such a standard.

Everyone appreciates material treasure, but would material things like everyone?

If treasure could speak, it would tell you that it would like to be possessed by someone that has a higher standard than it holds.  You feel this way because you yourself are like that.

We like things that are higher and nobler than ourselves. So do material things.  A diamond would like someone who shines brighter and is harder than it is.

Gold's deep color represents peace, and it wants to be loved by someone more peace loving than itself.

A pearl will respect and love someone with a more harmonious color than itself.

Would a diamond like some unworthy person who just grabs it or prefer to be possessed by someone with a moral ethic?

A diamond also has a preference and would resists the thief who reaches to snatch it.

This is also how we would react.

One person does not consider if he is worthy to possess a diamond, while the other considers whether he is really entitled to it.

If you have this quality, then the diamond would have that inclination, too.  This is elementary, but necessary education.

America's problem is that it doesn't really know the power and existence of the world of conscience.

How large do you think that the conscience is?

Seven billion people live in the world today.  So that means there are 7 billion different kinds of conscience.  Then if we were to include people in the spirit world that is billions more.

If you did the work of ten people today, the conscience would not tell you to do the work of nine tomorrow.

There is no such conscience.

The conscience will tell you to do more work the next time.  If you gave ten people ten dollars, would your conscience permit you to give nine people ten dollars the next day and keep the ten for yourself?

Your conscience will tell you to give the money to eleven people instead.  As you can see, the conscience is never satisfied.

Even if the whole planet earth was contained within your conscience, you would want to reach out farther and possess the whole galaxy.  Then if you had the whole galaxy, you will want to have God.

Even then your journey would not end until you owned the heart of God and had His love.

Even if you contained the whole planet earth in your conscience, it would still want to reach out farther and possess the whole galaxy.

Even if it had the whole universe, it would still want to have God. Your journey wouldn't end until you owned the heart of God and had His love.

That is how the conscience works.

When you try to set a standard for this extraordinary kind of conscience, it is not easy.

Who made the conscience so big?

God did.  If He had nothing that He could put into it, He would run away.  He is responsible.  What can fill the conscience?

God knows you like diamonds.  Would He be satisfied by filling everyone's conscience bag with a lot of diamonds?  Why not?

God can make all the diamonds and gold at will, but there is one thing He cannot control.  True love.  True love is only activated in a reciprocal relationship of subject and object.

Without an object, love is not created.

Can you show the love that you have?  Man's love is only activated when he finds a partner.

When you are sitting by yourself, your love cannot be activated.

God has been sitting all by Himself, lonely just like you would be, so can He enjoy His love alone?

Even if He was holding a piece of chalk and can laugh with enjoyment, then it would make a little better sense.

No matter how much potential love God has, by Himself God cannot feel its excitement. 

An object is always needed in order to activate love through give and take.  When a woman has a man to relate to, the vibration of the give and take can begin.  How about between woman to woman?  Even God needs an ideal object.

What was the purpose of God creating the whole universe?

For the perfection of His object.  Since God is gigantic, He needs an equivalent object who can stand side by side with Him.  Therefore, He created man with a conscience as big as God's conscience.

When man completely fills his conscience and starts to laugh, then God can respond.

Then the whole universe can laugh together with them.  That is God's design.

Nothing else except love can fill that conscience, however. Love alone can excite God.

In love, God is an enormous plus and man is an enormous minus, when they come together a giant spark will flash.  How much power do you think that will generate?

The entire universe will jolt at that connection.

Then God, men and women will be totally intoxicated and melt within the power of that love.  From the one-celled amoeba, the insects all the way to the galaxies, all of creation will be affected by the unity of God and man.

You might think that God is too far away for us to unite and cause such a great spark.  Electricity can speak between any distance.

God's electricity travels faster than the electricity we know on earth.

When He is totally happy and intoxicated in love, then all of mankind can respond that they are happy, too.  Then the entire creation will echo around the world that they are happy.


I like the word "too."  The cross bar on the "t" represents the horizontal absolute; the vertical line represents you-you are a pillar of love. The "oo" means everything is OK. Americans say OK; the O means perfection, and K comes from "keep." So OK means that you keep perfection, that everything is going well. You didn't know I had a definition for this!



Conscience is OK, but what is it centered on?  Life?  That is good.  Knowledge?  That is also nice.  Power?

These are nice, but are not the central things.

What is one substance that everyone likes and participates in?  Love alone has that universal character.

When the cornerstone of existence is conscience that is based on true love or true love is based on conscience, then everything is in the right place.  That is the standard.

This is not a temporal standard, but it has an eternal, unique, and unchanging quality.  The essentialities of love is the same, but the components are different from person to person, depending on where love appears.

Each individual is a truth body with unique love and characteristics.

They all share a common essentiality in God.

Each person is a cell of love. 

Each person has love that is unique to them which cannot be duplicated by anyone else.  Yet, it is unchanging and eternal.

If you have true universal love within you, then you have become a standard man or woman of the universe.  The conclusion we have come to is that we need the standard of conscience which is true love.

Through just this standard alone, we can digest the world and bring it into our consciences.  We can even bring in God with our invisible true love.

As long as you have that true love, you can go in any direction.  The world of true love also transcends time and space.

The five senses will cooperate with that standard of true love instead of repelling each other, for they do so out of happiness, not duty.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Search for God in the Conscience 


This Post was rewritten from the speech Our Standard

Man Become Less Valuable Than Material

When we narrow down 'our standard' it becomes 'my standard'.  When we broaden it, then it becomes the 'world standard'.

Where would we find the standard?  In the past, present or future?  What would be the central factor that sets the standard?  Would the standard be set by money, knowledge or power?

Could a person set the standard?

We can say that the standard should be based on the mind.

It would only be natural that the standard be based on the mind, but the mind also varies.

Sometimes it is beautiful and other times it is ugly.  Would the standard be based on a school record, or on religion, or on God?

Through this topic, we need to determine what has value for our lives.

The Korean word for treasure literally means "material treasure".

In talking about value we often are referring to material value; usually a treasure is based on material value.

What determines a standard of value?

First, something of value will last for a long time, has an unique eternal and unchanging quality.  Gold for instance is not easily changed.

These are the quality of value for material things.

People talk about the value of material things, but do not see a person as a treasure.  Minimum wage is still under 9 dollars an hour.  How cheap a man is!

Why haven't people been regarded as treasure?  People will go to war and kill other people to obtain material treasure or territory.  This is a real problem.  How did a human become less valuable than gold?

A pearl has a harmonized color which is beautiful.

Gold and pearls are very soft, while diamonds are very hard. Would you exchange your loved one for gold?

Would you give up your loved one's little finger for an equal amount of diamonds? Is that a good deal?  If someone offered you a diamond as big as your wife or husband, would you trade them in?

Then this means that men and women are more valuable than gems.

What do men have that makes them more valuable than diamonds?

It is his sparkling eyes or his skin?

Do you have the three qualities of value?

Men and women change.  Do you have valuable quality only when  you are young and pretty, or also when you are old?  Why do you prefer a warm, embracing person over an aloof and distant person?

When it is warm, people tend to relax, but when it is cold everyone automatically tries to protect himself.

Warm weather causes people to be more expansive and relaxed.  Do your favorite things change or not?  People are changeable, particularly women!

Changeable women are less liked than more stable women, right? 

Would the changeable quality be true for men also?

The three qualities of value apply to people as well as material things.

Therefore, a person who has a changeable quality has no everlasting value or uniqueness.

Man has two aspects: a mind and body.  Which changes more?  Does your conscience change more than your physical desires?

People who believe in the theory of evolution, say that there is not much difference between the make up of men and animals.

By holding to this belief, one tends to believe that animal behavior and conflict is also inherent in men, is natural and will last forever.  With this kind of ideology, a world of true, everlasting peace where man has freedoms within principle cannot exist.

They also say that the mind's desires are an illusion and that there is no such thing as an absolute standard of conscience.

They feel we are just material and there is no such thing as a permanent ideal.

In other words, if we are no better than animals just existing without a true purpose, then there is no room for a permanent standard for which to live.

Therefore, no permanent quality of value can exist.

If you and I are truly descended from monkeys, then man is also only an animal.  Do you think that monkeys live by moral standards or ethics?

There are no such standards as keeping one's purity in the monkey world.

But man is more advanced culturally, but seems to be changing into more like the monkeys because men and women just have casual sex together like the monkeys.

Those who uphold moral values seem to be losing the debate with evolutionist because they cannot show how men and women are really different from animals.

In order to be able to distinguish men from animals, even though evolutionists do not believe in God, we would have to create even an imaginary God who could be the embodiment of some absolute standard.  Otherwise there is no other way to win the battle.

Without an absolute standard, mankind cannot survive.

God has been neglected by mankind throughout history, but now we have reached a deadlock.

In the animal world, the stronger animal attacks the weaker ones.

Is this natural in the human world?

Do humans naturally need power in order to protect themselves?  There is certain conduct that needs standards.  To determine those standards, we need a foundation.  Would this be formed by the body or the conscience?

Moral quality has to pursue a tangible value, such as justice and honor.

The mind works by combining intelligence, heart and will power.  

 

Human value is based on conscience, which has an everlasting quality.

At the same time, everyone will like and agree on the value of the conscience.

The conscience should be needed morning and night and every moment of our lives.  That is the kind of standard we have to come up with.

The quality that defines a person of treasure, comes from his conscience and mind, which is eternal and unchanging.

In the Orient, when there is a bad person, we say he has a bad mind, we never say he has a bad body.

When you value someone, you value his mind saying his state of mind or thinking is good, not his appearance.

In criminal law, it is important the person's motives to commit the crime, motive is intangible.  Motivation comes from the mind, and the body reacts to that.

Does the conscience pursue good or evil things?

The answer will be the same 1,000 years from now.  If you ask someone from 10,000 years ago, their answer will be the same.

This means that the conscience has an unchanging quality.  Thus, we say that the conscience is at the base of value.

Therefore, the man's unique value comes from his conscience.

Why do we appreciate the three qualities of value in material things?

There must be some corresponding aspect in man which include those qualities.

We appreciate those qualities in certain things because we have them within ourselves.  That reciprocal relationship is the key to determine value.

We can see the same principle in the relationship between man and God.

We are not the universal subject of creation, so we cherish these qualities of values because there is a first cause which initiated this.

Evolution tries to deny the power of the conscience by saying that it is only the by product of material which came about by itself.  That material came into existence first and conscience is like a side effect.

Evolutionists don't accept the idea of a first cause, or God. 

Evolutionist say that conscience is like animal instinct which evolved to a higher status.

Do you feel good to hear that you descended directly from monkeys?

Evolutionists do not have any solutions to the human problems of today.  In order to distinguish ourselves from the animal world, we need to have God and if no real God exists we still have to make an imaginary one.  Otherwise there is no solution to the deep problems of humanity.


For the last ten years I have been spending an incredible amount of money inviting the world's leading scholars to come and think about absolute value, but they don't even want to think about it. Everyone wants to deny there is absolute value, saying there is only relative value; they keep saying they are tired of hearing about absolute value. They are asking me to change the subject of the conference, but I have refused.  I know that, no matter how great these academics are, they cannot find absolute value because it can't be observed in a laboratory or test tube.


Scholars try to determine everything through their physical senses.  They do not recognize anything that does not come their way or is intangible.

The physical senses cannot perceive the spiritual reality or anything beyond the material world like God.

There is no way you can reach conclusions about value and conscience through the analytic method. 

Today's scientific world is confused about what is reality.

There are five senses, but you need to employ one more sense to perceive the complete reality of the universe.

Thinkers say that we must conquer reality if we are to advance.

But there is such confusion of what reality is.  Religiously and philosophically there is confusion.  We have to clarity this confusion by setting the standard.

We need philosophy and religion, but what do 'I' need most of all?

An active conscience.

To determine what is reality, we have to restore our consciences to be true ones.  Have people throughout history lived with true conscience?

All men have the common desire to live with true conscience, but how can that be realized?

An important quality in a moral code is filial piety.

We place value on this, but what is it and why should we exercise it?

Filial piety is loyalty to the unchanging value of the family.

A son that practices filial piety will serve his parents and brothers and sisters even if they do not reciprocate.

Our conscience dictates that this is the right thing to do.  But if you are not able to recognize the value of conscience, you will not recognize the value of filial piety.  You have to have some starting point.

Conscience values your parents' welfare more than your own.

On a larger scale, a patriot follows his conscience by serving his country and caring about its welfare.

There is the common ground that the conscience dictates the benefit of something higher than yourself.  The conscience pursues something of higher value not caring only for the self first.

What is a saint or a holy man?

The saint follows the same principle, but he obeys his conscience for the sake of mankind.  He recognizes that the subject of all is God.  In history, holy men have always been religious leaders.

Like evolutionists, the materialistic communists say that awareness, or consciousness, is merely a by-product of the material world.  So, where can we find the moral code in that?

Communism is destructive because it is based on materialism and recognizes consciousness as only a by-product, not something that has value or needs a standard to follow.

Within communism, there is no ideal of a person of treasure.

Since communists do not place value on the spiritual element, life is expendable in their political system.  Humans are only viewed as material.

We see throughout history that they freely sacrifice people's lives to attain material.

There is no such thing as an everlasting moral standard in the world of communism.

Which is first, consciousness or the material?

How do we determine that consciousness came first?

As stated in earlier posts as an example, the eye is material whether it is in man or some animal.  Would the first eye in existence have known that it would encounter sunlight or dust therefore develop eyelashes and tears itself?

Whoever designed the eye would have understood these phenomena.  Anyone who tries to argue that the eye randomly came about into existence, you can show him his error with this short example.

Are the tear ducts to keep the eye clean and moist a random event?

Then it is logical to say that long before the eye came into being there was an universal conscious that designed the eye according to the environment.  So, we can say that conscious came before the material world.


I don't deny the process of evolution in development, but I am saying that there is a creative process going on behind it. In the theory of evolution there are sudden occurrences called mutations, in which something new comes from its parent body. But we have to say that there must have been some energy or willpower that authorized that occurrence. Could evolution itself create a new awareness and make a new design? Absolutely not.


Then there must be something that is outside evolution that supplies creative energy.

Development occurred between the highest and lowest stages, but it did not just happen automatically.  Each stage was the result of a design and input of additional energy.

Evolutionists do not want to recognize that creative energy.  Evolutionists need to acknowledge an universal consciousness that provided the know-how beforehand.

When you talk about the conscience of man, then you have to recognize that there is an universal truth that ties into it.  Therefore, they must recognize God who is the first cause.

Does conscience also evolve?

If you do not recognize the unchanging quality of conscience within yourself, then you cannot begin to look at the unchanging and unique characteristics within gems.

If you do not have this quality within yourself, then you have no reason to seek it outside  yourself.  You appreciate precious things because you have that quality within yourself.

You cannot compare two things unless you have the capacity to appreciate both.
