How Do we Experience Spirit World?

The spirit world and the present time

What stage have we come to in history?

We are living in the time where the spiritual and physical world will be linked on the global level.

Unification does not take place quietly, but rather both heaven and earth are shaken.

The world tried to stop God from achieving it in a bitter struggle, but He won.

The satanic world can no longer accuse God directly.  Satan may still accuse our ancestors in the spirit world for their wrongdoings, but not God for the situation of the world.

In addition, all the spirits in the spirit world will be mobilized to drive satanic forces from the earth.

The spirit world will guide people to believe in our way.

Jesus, and other great religious leader, and our own ancestors will come to them and push people spiritually through punishing them if they do not to do the will of God.

The spirit world will bring together everything that was divided until now.

A new movement will be initiated that binds together all the divisions of the world today through heart.  It will be a movement that brings together the world representatives based on the standard that is above racial differences to unite their hearts.

Therefore, when spirit world is united and makes contact with the physical world, a light will shine forth and a worldwide movement will begin.

Until now, the East and the West had different spirit worlds.

Then how was it possible to unite them? Through love.

I brought together people from East and West and formed races and tribes centered on God's love through the joint weddings of the Unification Church. I have laid the groundwork on the levels of the individual, family, tribe, people, nation and world. Heaven and the spirit world are completely depending on us.

The future age

Among new members who recently joined the church, there are those who had spiritually met me and were guided by me.  Such people may become kings or presidents in the foreseeable future -- we don't know when and how. 


There are so many people like this throughout the world.

You see the number of people who talk to themselves increase in countries like the US.


The entire spirit world will swoop down upon the earth. Then, who will take supreme command?  It is my responsibility.  The time will come when you can never appear before me beating around the bush. The gate of the spirit world is completely opened up. I will be waiting in front of the gate when such a person comes and I will throw him out, asking, "Why have you come here?"

Now, we will enter the era when we can manage the world professionally.

There are many people in the world that will perform all kinds of things in my place, though God is not forcing them to do so. Some fly in the air while others walk on water. There are many people who cross infinite distances instantaneously. There will be a time for me to call them from the Himalayas and the world of Tao. 


Have you wondered if the world will ever be united into a beautiful world of peace?

God's authority spreads out and anything that is unable to respond to the ideal of love in the history of restoring the world to God will come to naught.  Then we will enter into a new world.

This is my worldview of an extrasensory era hereafter and only love can bring it into reality. 



Once you love something in the extrasensory world, you will simply try to hold onto it. You would try to go beyond your natural limitations. Therefore, we are entering a global era when that can be welcomed on a level only by God's love.

I came to know these things in my prayer. There is something you do not know. I may appear to be unaware of everything because I do not explain much to you, but in fact I know everything.



Since the fall, evil spirits have been doing their will through fallen humanity.  We now live in the era where we are to completely dominate the spirit world while we are in our physical bodies.

Since I know everything about the spirit world and possess the truth and my own body, both Satan and the angelic world must completely surrender to me. Spiritually enlightened Buddhists and Christians, therefore, must surrender to me as well.  When clairvoyants are willing to die at my command, then we accomplish the substantial realm of perfection and open the gates to the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. 

When such a world is created, what more will we have to do?

We are living in the time where people wonder "How did that happen?  Why did I do that?"

Spiritual experiences are also necessary

Go about praying tearfully.

"I cannot go back with this face.  I cannot go back as I am. I cannot go back even if I may die.  This would be more miserable than death."

If you have many spiritual experiences while you pray, then you will be resurrected.

With this heart, you can go forth and think that God will surely help you.  You should be able to feel his heart in everything that you say and teach.

His heart must come before your own words, not behind.

Therefore you must always be humble.

When you go back without a word, you will feel God's heart in front of you.

Why is that?

It will pull you forward at the time.  While you are in this position, you will be able to educate a crowd no matter how many people there are.

When you reach the state where something unknown teaches you everything and you are mystified by what comes out of your mouth, you will feel in tune with your spoken words.  In this state, any movements you make or facial expression during your speech will feel normal.

If you experience such things while you work this dispensation, only then will the movements of life take place.

To experience spirit world means to communicate with the world of the fourth dimension.  When you do this, you can connect with, communicate with or counsel sages and patriots that lived thousands of years ago.

You will feel them directly within the sphere of time in your actual life.

The course of spiritual experience

We as people of faith are set up to worship God as the center, but our own position is unclear.

Where should we look for that position?

Even though we establish God as the subject partner, we really do not feel this.

We do not clearly distinguish spiritual things clearly as we perceive things with our five physical senses; things we see.

When we consider from where we should begin approaching this problem, we understand that we do not start by looking at the subject partner.

We do not start by looking at God Himself.

We should begin looking into ourselves first to that end.  We each have a mind and body.  Although we have both a mind and body, we need to seek within ourselves for this position.  Only when we center everything on our mind, should the examination be carried out.

When we observe fallen people today, whether there are a thousand or ten thousand, will we see that their minds are the same?

Even though the root may be the same, the minds differ depending on the nature of emotions that we feel.

With heaven as the subject partner, we can stand as the object partner.  God has given us the foundation to respond to Him as His object partner, therefore, within the mind there must be a standard for the mind to link to God.

That direction surely exists.

When you look at a horizontal line, it looks like a plane, but when it is perpendicular, the standard will be different for that line.

You have to adjust to the zero point or there will be a counter action.  In a power plant there are different types of meters.

Each meter has something that is similar to the zero point which direction, power and quantity are measured.

There has to be a zero point standard.

This standard exists yet it does not or it is something that does not exist yet it does.  There is such a place.

Those who practice Zen meditation used the word ecstasy to refer to a state of mind that is similar to that. You should approach the spiritual level of this kind.

Once you can reach that standard, you will find something that would surely enable your horizontal standard to respond to that same level.

We have a gate in our mind called the mind's gate which does not open in one direction.  Since our minds rotate, the gate moves as well.  If we do not go through such a gate, we will not be able to establish a true relationship with God or heaven.

When you pray, you get a different feeling depending on the time of your prayer.  When you pray at one o'clock it is different from prayer at thee o'clock.  You will understand this fully when you experience it yourself.

When you pray deeply and in a mysterious state, you will know that your prayers are different depending on when you pray.

What you feel in the morning, at noon, in the early evening, and at night are all different.

The level of our feelings within our state of mind differs in the same way as our physical senses respond to the changes of the four seasons.

This is how it is in the real of our mind.

You should know when is the best time to pray for you, because that time will be the degree of your response to God is the greatest.  When you delve into that sphere, you will then find the gate.

When the gate of God and the gate of mind become perfectly one and revolve around a certain standard, you will find the path to fully experience what God is feeling.

How will you reach this state?

You will cultivate your mind to do so.

Some religions expanded to align their standards with God's providence and others are in step with Satan.

Since religions are intermixed, it is extremely difficult to tell the good from the bad, the false from the true.  This is the same for the realm of the mind.  There are good minds and at the same time there are evil minds.

There are good minds and at the same time there are evil minds.

Your mind may think that you are good, but that thought in itself is not good.  We are formed as a result of the Fall.

There are some whose minds are influenced more by the evil realm of Satan and others by goodness, but we are all born from the Fall, nonetheless.

Then what is of utmost importance?  How you set the gate to your mind is the most important matter in your life of faith.  Therefore, always be alert to those times when the gate of the mind opens and how to tune to God's gate when you walk this path.

Always be prepared to do this.

You need to always have the mindset to seek and adjust your mind to God at any given time in your daily life.

Always be aware of the depth of your mind and try to open the gate of your mind.

Then try to adjust to where the gate of heaven is located.

This is the most precious thing to do in your life of faith.  When you come to stand as a true object, you will experience three-dimensional feelings you have never felt before.

You may have only felt a wintry sensation, but when you reach unity with God's gate, you will also feel autumn, summer and spring as well.

This is because the universe rotates and is in our mind.  Our mind rotates just like the planets which cause the four seasons.

The realm of the mind in motion will naturally allow us to feel the changing degrees of sensitivity.

There are four seasons in a year, however, a day is a year in miniature.

There are four seasons in a day: the morning corresponds to spring, the noon to summer, the early evening to fall and the night to morning which corresponds to spring.

Also, in the morning you can experience, spring, summer, autumn and winter kind of feelings just during the morning.

Our mind is like this.

In other words, the feelings that our mind creates are not fixed.

You should, therefore, you should know how to discern what the present time corresponds to by having a variety of experiences through an abundant life of prayer.

You can understand lessons from a bird that flies away from a beautiful house when you reach such a state of unity with God's mind.

Such phenomena will start to take place in your daily life regularly and the number of these suggestive conditions will increase.

You will derive insight into something as you happen to overhear conversations.  Such experiences will increase.

We may have thought of these as signs or warnings coming by chance, but this is coming from spirit world.

Once you have passed this stage, you will experience revelations in your dreams, and not just during your sleep.

Saint Paul experienced the third heaven when he was have awake or what is deemed as REM.

Compile and analyze the data scientifically to see what the message is these experiences and don't let them pass you by inadvertently.

These revelations that you can hardly forget will turn out true 100 percent in reality.

You will have such experiences.

When you connect to people or things during your half-awake and sleep state, you will see in reality.  This means that your mind has entered a realm where it resonates with the spirit realm like a tuning fork.  When you have such experiences, regard them as precious.

What happens next?  As God exists, where will he appear?  He will appear through your mind.

You haven't experienced this because your mind is not firmly established and you are people who are being dragged around by your body's fallen desires instead of by your good mind.

Once you establish your mind it will form a higher dimension of character that declares it to be another subject.

When you reach this higher level through prayer, you will start talking with your mind.

You state of resonance or tuning fork will be at a higher level and you will physically hear what you are saying in your mind.

During the first stage a hint or suggestion in your daily life will be given.

As believers we should collect these amounts of facts.




Return for Tomorrow's Post:  Crossing the Border to Victory


This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook Cheon Seon Gyeon Book Five Chapter Three Sect 1. 

Are You Moving Forward or Backwards?

All things of creation are preparing to burst forth in springtime. March is the revival month.  This is the season to grow by leaps and bounds; we need to make an extraordinary jump.

Picture an open book on the blackboard.

Do you want to turn over the page?  Once you turn the page, then  you cover the previous one.  If you want to go in the opposite direction, you must turn 180 degrees.


Therefore, to find a new course, you have to turn about-face.

Each of you is in this book.

We each want to get rid of the bad things of the past and become new people.  Now we are turning over a new leaf and beginning a new life.

We use key terms that the rest of the world has not established yet: True Parents and True Children and True Nation and so forth.

We are becoming new people, new family members, new men and women. 

By going this pathway, we have completely turned around toward the greatest ideal.  There have never before been people who have worked for such a grand goal of world salvation.  Most can never dream of where to begin.

We are not just thinking about it, but we have turned around and reach out for it.  When it is Christmas, everyone wants to go to their hometown and visit their family and old friends.  Wouldn't you?


The only reason I don't do it is that it would hold me back instead of helping me advance. I cannot allow myself to retreat; my thinking does not permit it. New horizons and new goals are there waiting. I want to work to fulfill them every moment of the day. Every moment is so precious.


What about you?  Are you able to envision new days ahead?  Do you forsee a new life?

When you go out on your missions, do you go and say, "What is the next goal?  I want to accomplish it."

Or before you go, you go expecting just another tough day?

Sometimes you hate witnessing or fundraising.  Sometimes you feel passive about doing it.  But once you go to a country such as Africa, Asia or Latin America, you will really appreciate such training.

The Messiah's goal is to eliminate immorality in America.

Likewise, he has a desire to also save the Mafia, drug addicts and prostitutes.  Was that not the same level of work Jesus did in his time?

Are you able to do the same work?  Are you determined to accomplish this with your own hands?

Maybe you think that there are millions of Americans who aren't doing much so, you don't see any reason to try.  Maybe you just want to live a comfortable life like everyone else.

By coming to understand Father you have learned about the true value of existence, the meaning of creation, God's will, the true way of life and true love.  But in your heart, how often have you been scorned for doing such work of restoration for the world?

Practically everyone wishes that the church didn't have such fundraising and witnessing activities.

This world is decaying.  Our mission is to go out and save it.

Our responsibility is to apply the brakes and stop the world's decline.

Is what we are doing an easy task?  Of course we know the answer is no.

In the near future, the whole world will know and recognize our good deeds.  Then this is truly a precious way of life.


I heard that the 120-day workshop included some periods of 24-hour lecturing or fundraising. You may protest that it is too much. You all have your opinions about this and that, don't you? You may be right. The United States may not need it, but we have to turn the page.


Do you want to live this way of life or not?

This world is not the limit,  We will be able to go to another world eventually after world peace has been established.  If I was a good, concerned God, I would not want my children spreading their filthy ways to the other parts of the universe.  Once we have world peace, then the universe is the limit.

Once you have reached the spiritual world, your every deed will be judged.  The spirit world is the real, eternal world.

When you get there, will you say, "Man!  I didn't know the truth." But God would reply, "What are you talking about?  Reverend Moon gave my message to the earth.  Through him I told you truth clearly through his sermons."

Then, you would not be able to offer any excuse.

Even though the messages in these posts seem bitter, this kind of instruction is necessary in order to go in the right kind of direction.

We need to make a leap.

Now, we know that unless something drastic happens, this world will crumble under the God-denying communist world.

Once you join the church, did you continue your secular ways making a little change, or did you make a drastic change in your way of life?

After living this way, it is virtually impossible for you to return to your original, selfish way of life.  If you were able to return, you could not live there for even one day.

Then, you would turn around and come back even though it would be difficult at first.

You are a new kind of citizen, not ordinary Americans at all.

Father has dealt with tens of thousands of members.  Many have betrayed him and left.  He would not say a word once they left, but he knew they would eventually return.

When one is doing Gods work, they can face him.  But someone who became a weak solider and turns away cannot face Father and rushes away when they come face-to-face again.

There are many cases where people returned with a bowed head and said, "Father, can you forgive me?  I was weak and was not thinking deeply.  But once I went back to the world, I understood the true value of what you were teaching."

Once you hear the new truth based on the Bible, you came to know God.

You know you have come into contact with a true religion.

Whether you fulfill this mission or not is up to you. Many have failed, but many have succeeded.

You have to take a giant step if you want to be successful.

Those who follow this way of life are transformed people, who are no longer their old selves.

After you learn the Divine Principle, can anybody erase it from your brain?

Even if you went away from this teaching and you won a million dollars living a lavish lifestyle, no one would be able to eradicate this Principle from your mind.

Would becoming a millionaire satisfy you if you know you were not following God's will?  No one can be happy until he lives up to the requirements of the Principle way of life.

Doesn't the truth ring clear in your heart?  It may be raining or murky day where you are, but now you think it is a sun shiny day, correct?


When I came to America  in 1973, I foretold this nation's decline. I declared that the United States must turn around and make a change, but nobody took me seriously. People laughed at me then, but now many of those who mocked me have come to the realization that I was correct. The problems haven't ended-ten years from now you will see people weeping as they realize how right I was.

I have done my duty in the sight of God. 

Father received the mandate from God and has done his best to fulfill that requirement.  He has dealt with the highest possible authorities in this nation, and carried out his mission for the sake of America.

People in the nation have not treated him with courtesy, and have done a lot of wrong to him.  He was able to transcend his personal feelings by acting for the sake of he nation and the world.

Who would be more correct.  The one living in this way for God or the government administration?

History will be the best judge.  There will be a time when people will understand this content and flock to Father's tomb to pay their respects for the great works he has done for this nation.  His tomb will receive homage more than any President that held office.

There is hope for America.

There will be a new generation of people that will crop up and understand the true value of this movement and push forward to bring Heaven on Earth.   People may not be able to understand this today, but in the future, they shall know this content and want to take action.

Wouldn't this be so?

You know this is true in your heart.

The world is moving toward a God-centered culture step-by-step.  You will see that this is true.


I know this like I know the sunlight. I see this truth so clearly. Once we turn America around, the whole world will turn around. Think about it. The United States is a gigantic country, so it's not going to be easy to turn it around. I knew this from the outset.


Where are you?  Are you moving forward or standing still?

Many people think they are moving forward based on certain goals.

There are three people among you: One is indeed moving forward, another is standing still and another is retreating.

Which group do you belong?

You are only fooling yourself if you say you don't know your status.  You do know where you are precisely.

Which person would get the approval rating of 100 percent: the one who just sits around and relaxes, going slowly everyday or the one moving forward constantly without stopping?

Of course, it is the one who is moving and pushing forward beyond any obstacles.  Why don't you give yourself a grade?  Are you 100, 50, 30 or minus 30 percent?  Is anyone below minus 100 percent?

There should be someone who is spying on us from the communist camp to the speech because they believe that this information is very vital.  Maybe the CIA. The communist that participates listening to this speech is really at 100 percent.

To do this work, you have to be at least above the 50 percent mark.  Those of you who think you are above that standard might wonder why you should even march forward since no one else went ahead of you and no one is behind you.

You might think that you should turn around and join everybody else even if they are going in the wrong direction.

Those of you who are above 50 percent are you going forward? Are you 50 and going up or 50 and going down?

After you hear or read these speeches that last for an hour and a half, you are a new person afterward.  You think that you have changed much.  You then feel a great power surging through you that makes you want to shout in agreement.

But when it comes time to do the mission a couple of hours later, you will discover that you have a mountain of work waiting on you.  You will wonder where all your energy went.

Living this way of life living to witness to others the truth of the age, you will find the same old peanut butter and bread when you go in the kitchen.  Once you see that Sunday is not a holiday for you and you do not have time to watch television, you wonder why you are doing this kind of work.

Well, there's one simple solution: quit.

Even the Messiah has the option to quit, as well.  Would anybody volunteer to take his job?  He is confronted with terrible news and difficult situations being told of accidents and problems all of the time.  Then there are campaigns, fundraisers, new developments and problems that need to be solved in every country.

As this movement spreads around the world and members become part of all kinds of intense activities, we suffer casualties the same as people dying in the front line during war time.

Once you are able to face one problem, you wonder how you will handle another.

Father listens so much discouraging, shocking and agonizing things that happen day after day.

Conscientious people, especially young people who are on the side of God, can you say that you are indecisive, mediocre or half-hearted?

If you are at the 50% point, you are 150 points away from the minus 100% point. If 100% on the plus side is the destination, you have only 50 more points to go.

Which direction would you choose if you are wise?  Should you choose the plus or minus?

The most important thing is do not stand still.

You must be constantly moving forward the same as running water.

This world is stagnant corrupt and rotten.  The world's water is too impure for drinking.  But, if you are able to become running water, everybody will come to drink and be nourished.

So, where are you now: standing still or moving forward?  Moving forward or moving backwards?




Return for Tomorrow's Post: Can a Selfish Person Change?


This post was rewritten from the speech Everybody is Headed Somewhere

Even Evil People Wants to Possess Good

We must always remember that daily life is a continuous struggle. There are many kinds of struggles and therefore we have to determine what kind we are going through at any particular time. Many people struggle daily in order to make a living and receive a salary.

We all face all kinds of continuous struggle in our daily life.  There are many different kinds of struggles, therefore, we must determine what kind we are going through at any particular time.

Some people struggle to earn money, but some people are more worthy of receiving their salary than other because they do better work.  Therefore, those who do inferior work can be criticized.

Then there are those people who work just for themselves and do not receive a salary.  In this case, the quality of their work determines whether they will be a success or not.  According to the work one does, they are also subject to judgment or criticism.

There are some Americans who better the country and are liked and respected, and there are the citizens that do not contribute to the country in any way.  Within every group, this kind of difference can be found.

There are the people who are looked up to and we want to emulate and then there are the people who are not well respected.  Only the person himself can criticize himself because he knows himself better than anyone else.

Each person knows where his or her weaknesses lies and he knows how he needs to change.  Within an individual, every element knows whether it is being used for something good or something bad.  Your own eyes know if you are looking at good things or bad things.

Also, your ears can distinguish between good things and bad.

You may feel inspired when you hear these words because you recognize them as true.  Someone else might think that this is too general and is not inspired.

Would you want to be on the good side, exhibiting only good qualities or would you be content to remain on the bad side of everything?

Everyone, naturally, would want to experience the good qualities.

At the national level, some nations are criticized by the other nations because they damage the rest of the world.  Each nation can judge and criticize other nations.  We see that God must be evaluating the nations of the world according to how they are performing for the total benefit of the world.

God certainly desires goodness. 

If there is also an evil god in existence, he would also want something good.

We may think that an evil god would want evil things, but an evil being desires good things.  If the evil god was not able to get good things, he would go and plunder good things from others.

The good God just wants to stay with goodness.  He wants to have good things all the time and wants to cherish them eternally.  But the evil god would try to snatch the good things away from God the first chance he gets.

Isn't this true?  This is how the fall began with Lucifer wanting to possess the good Eve for himself taking her and humanity away from God.

In all levels of life there is struggle between good and evil. 

Do you think that you are a good person or a bad one?

Truthfully, you said you are only good in a half-hearted way, you must not have much confidence.  You are right to answer in that way, because if you completely good, you would not have to struggle or restore yourself back to your original position.

If you are already a completely good person, there would be no struggle with evil.

Where there is something good, both bad and good people want it.  What do you think is the best thing in the world?

You might say 'true love', but even before true love exists a person must exist first.  If many good people exist, then there would not be so much struggle in the pursuit of true love.  It would be found freely flowing everywhere.

The main question is, did human history start from an evil or good foundation?

Is it possible that man was good in nature but gradually became evil after he was born or it was the other way around?  Were we created to be evil and then to gradually struggle to be good?  Would a perfected, good god create such a contradictory being?

This does not make sense.  If people were born to be evil, then we could never have the possibility to to improve ourselves or root it out because it would be forever part of our being.

Is there a possibility that you can become completely good, almost perfected?  Then we can say confidently that we were not born in a hopelessly bad condition.  We know for a fact we were born relatively good, but not perfected.

Even though one is born with a good nature, if he is surrounded by a bad situation, he will struggle hard to come back to his good state.  This is logical.

Therefore, we can conclude that man's original nature was created good, but something happened after he was born.  The Principle explains that human beings were created for goodness, but were corrupted and fell into a bad situation.

What is the element that influenced humans to become evil and have to struggle to go toward goodness?  Many would say 'self-centeredness'.

What is that exactly?  It is placing yourself ahead of God and everybody else.

When this first occurred, people began the path of false self-centered love.  We can surely see that self-centeredness and false love put human beings on the wrong path in history.

When mankind fell, it was as if he received injections: one was self-centeredness and the other was false love.

These evil elements began to circulate in the human body.  Have you been able to cleanse from this fallen blood?  No.  In fact, evil renews itself with each new individual.

If you were to get food poisoning, you then a need an antidote.  Therefore, because we were poisoned by self-centeredness and false love, we need an antidote to cure it.

What do you think that would be?  We easily say 'true love'.  But where do you find it?

Let's examine ourselves.

Have you been able to cleanse this evil blood from your system or is it still circulating within you?

You know it is still there and you can feel it easily.  Where are you going to eliminate this poison?  Do you just do nothing and think that it will go away automatically through time?

This is what many people of faith believe to be true.  The belief is that by simply believing in the Messiah and sitting in pews and being nice to people that their fallen blood is somehow cleansed.

Jesus died for our sins, but how do we explain that we are still born into sin and no matter how devout we are, we still bear children with the fallen blood lineage?

There are different stages of awareness.  There are some people who don't even know they are doing evil.  There are others who know when they are doing bad things and want to become good and struggle to do so.

Those who want to become very, very good must go through tremendous struggles.

To whom does love rightfully belong?

Love itself is a common possession.  True love is owned by everyone at the same time, but there should be a master or subject of love.  Who would that be?

God is the master of love.

To fulfill the purpose of love, there must be a man and woman who practice and appreciates true love.

The first two people who come into contact with love for the first time would think that they would like to have that.  There is nothing bad about that.  This is very natural.

People were born to appreciate good things.

What then is the difference between a good person and a bad person?

Both good people and bad want good things.

Everyone was meant to experience love at the proper time.  We see that love belongs to everybody.  But there is a proper order to achieving everything.  First things come first, second things come second and so forth.

The order of love was God was to receive it first, then man and woman were to have it, then it was to pass love to the angels.  This is the correct order for true love.  Any other order is false love.

Thus it is the orderliness, the right order, that made the difference in love.

When man did not abide by the right order, false love came into being and then the distinction between true love and false love came into existence.

Let's look at a family of brothers and sisters for an example.  Each are born in a certain order, one after the other.  There is the first child, a second child, a third and so forth.  Even if there is only a difference of a year in their ages there still is an order.

If it became necessary, the first-born child could take responsibility for the second-born.  The second could do the same for the third and so forth.

Suppose the elder brother said to the younger one, "Do this," and he replies, "OK, but I must do something else first." That would be the proper way for him to reply, rather than to shout, "No, I Won't do it," without giving any ounce of obedience or explanation.

Violating the rules of conduct in regard to order is wrong. 

In America, this concept is strange.  They may wonder why the elder brother has more authority than the younger one.

But when you observe more closely, even in America, it is natural to give difference to an elder.  Let's suppose there are five brothers lined up in order of age.  The eldest is first, the next one is second and so forth.

In America, would they line up at random?

What about the parents; would the parents go in line in front of the children?  No.  The parents would go first and then the children.  So, even in America, that would seem logical.

When the parents give direction to the children, they are expected to obey.

Unlike what we see in American homes today, the child shouldn't say that they don't have to listen to their parents.

This is not acceptable.

Even if the parents were to give a wrong direction, the child should say, "But if I do it now, it would create a bad situation.  Could you please reconsider?"

Then a good mother or father would think about it and answer, "I guess you are right, so you don't have to do that."  Through this mutual respect and understanding, the parent and child can come to resolve any differences properly.

In any situation, parents should not stubbornly cling to their 'authority' and demand the child do what they have to say.  If a parent did that, then any child would rightly be forced to rebel against the parent's unreasonableness.  Then the parent would have to yield to the children if the children are in the right.

When parents ask their son to do something That he is sure will turn out badly, then he should not be demanded to blindly follow their instructions.  He should explain his thoughts to his mother or father  so that the correct course of action will bring forth good results.

You may wonder how this relates to human history and mankind's problems and think this may seem too simple of analysis of the problems experienced between children and parents.

This actually describes the basic element of human history from the beginning point of mankind's problems and the solution.




Return for Tomorrow's Post:  God's Purpose Not to Satisfy Public Opinion


This post was rewritten from the speech The Victorious Person and the Defeated Person

Is World Peace Possible?

Everyone has the hope and dream that one day the world will experience peace and the days of war and conflict will be long gone.

Is World Peace possible?

Did God create the world with the idea of unity?

If the earth was not derived from a unified source, then it will never be possible to be unified.  The good news is if it was created from a unified source, then all individuals, families, tribes and nations will be able to be unified.

We find that this world is not unified, that nations are not unified, and tribes and families are not unified. And even this world is divided into two worlds. Even within each nation, there are different polarities, families experience division among members, and the individual mind and body are divided within.

We cannot deny this division.

If this world began from a perfect entity, then why is the world divided?

It is most important to investigate the cause of the division throughout the world on the individual, family, national and world levels.

If God is an absolute god then why does such a divide exist?

We have to conclude that God is not the source of such division in the world.  Then what is the cause?  We must know that the cause of evil was not derived from a good source, then it must be evil.


The Mission of Religion

The mission of religion is to destroy all of the problems caused by evil to bring about a unified world.  The most important thing is to find the root of the cause of these conflicts.

By finding the evil cause in ourselves we can solve all the problems.

The most important thing is to find one person whose mind and body is not struggling with each other and is fully centered and become one with God. Their every action in unity with God.  Have you known anyone who has completely made his mind and body one with his every action centered on God?

If that thought makes you laugh, then this means that no one has been able to attain this state of being beside the Messiah.

Then the most important thing is to find the self which is not divided and does not struggle with evil.  If God exists, we must know that He will show us the way to restore us to our original godly state.  This is the purpose of religious discipline.

A person who is determined to follow God's will, will be taught strong lessons on how to become an ideal individual.

God is on the search for individuals who cannot be destroyed by anyone or anything in this world, no matter how difficult the situation is.  God's champion cannot be beat by anything and can be eternally unified with God.  Throughout the course of history, God seeks such a man.

God's providence was designed to take out such a man among the evil society.  Even though God searches for such a high-quality person, man lives among his family, he lives in the material world and in his nation.

In order for God to restore His nation, His family, His individuals and the material world, He does not in the literal sense take these things back.

Even though God is Almighty, He needs a condition if He is to take things back from the evil environment.  Evil that possess what God wants to restore will try to retain all of these things, therefore, the ways of good and evil must not be equal; they must be different.

If evil goes this way, then God must go the other way.  

If one goes to the right, then the other must go to the left.  All people wish for a unified world of peace, but this is not obtained simply.

Evil wants to go ahead and good wants to go backward.  You as one walking on the path of God's will stands in the central position in the struggle between good and evil.

Which do you think is most serious: the fall of a nation or the fall of one individual.  For man, the worst would be for him to perish.  We all have a slight tendency to not sacrifice ourselves for other people.

We all have the mind to center everything on ourselves and not God.

If we continue this way, then world peace will never be realized.  We must first surpass the obstacles in our mind which try to stand in our way of the path toward God in order to reach the world which our mind wants and desires.



How Will World Peace Happen?

Will we be able to bring about a world of peace through fighting other nations?  Is this the true way to a peaceful happy world?  A peaceful world will not come about through the control of others.

Since God knows this, He goes the opposite way of evil.  God is the first to lead the path toward world peace.  If we go this way, the leader is God, if we go the other way, the leader is Satan.  If God was to go in the same direction, He would destroy all the people who are one with Satan.  Since God wants to save every last child, He goes backwards.
This explains the mysterious ways God asks His prophet to set a condition for Him.  For instance, Noah was asked to place a boat on a mountain away from the ocean.  What seems to not make since outside His providence is a way for God to get only the most faithful to follow His path.

Evil does not come from other-centered motives, it comes from self interest. 

There are two kinds of people.

Evil also wants to make the world one, but through beating other people.  God does not and goes the opposite way.  Evil let man fall and made man deny that God existed.  Adam and Eve thus brought about destruction through uniting with Satan.

The fall began when Satan left the path of the servant and planned everything for his own self.  This initiated evil desire far from God's will.  So through the history of fallen man, he has tried to sacrifice others for its own interest.

When you look at the history of nations and wars, you will see that there has always been a struggle between  where the stronger always sacrifices the weaker. This struggle spread from the individual, family, to the nation and in these Last Days to the world.

Now history is at the stage when the two, worlds, which tried to overcome by sacrificing the other are tired.

The Democratic and Communist worlds want to dominate the world, but both have given up.

These two worlds cannot unify the world.  All people of every nation want to enjoy a peaceful, happy world, but there has not been a way to bring an ideal world.

There are two ways to surpass the obstacles of the past:  jump or go around it.  If a nation places its own interest first, then it cannot jump over the obstacle.  

We can achieve the ideal world with the thought that for the interest of the, whole world, we are willing to sacrifice our own nation.

The Communist world centered around its nation and struggle against the Democratic world could not fulfill her role because she, too, thought of her own interests more than those of other nations.

God blessed America to share its blessing, but instead, it turned toward the nation's own self-interest.

During the Cold War, if Russia had supported the world then Russia and the Communist world would be united.  On the same token, if the U.S. sacrificed herself to share the prosperity of the Democratic world, then she would not have declined.

Just taking a look through history, we see that unless we find those who want to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the whole world, then the ideal world will never be reached.  Is there such a nation in the world willing to sacrifice itself for the world?

Instead, the Democratic and Communist worlds are willing to throw away the whole world just to save and uplift themselves.

When we find such a nation that is willing to sacrifice her country and her people for the establishment of the ideal world, there is hope that we will see the glory of one ideal world.

A sacrificial nation does not exist for her own benefit, but for the interests of the whole world.

God went a different course from these worlds.  God's number priority is to find someone who is completely one with Him and cannot be broken away from Him.  He must go to the position where he can unify the world.  God has been teaching the religious people two teachings: to love God and to sacrifice oneself for the world.

The one who can unify the world must sacrifice himself for the whole world.  Since man is in the evil position due to the fall, he cannot go straight to God, therefore, he must turn around and go back toward the original direction.

The opposite direction from the evil world which religion teaches is to leave the fallen world, his family his material wealth and even his fallen self.  This is how to love God and return to the original position which He seeks.

When man really loves God, then He must love him.  Then as man receives the love of God, he must sacrifice himself for the world.  This is the most important; this is the core of God's providence.


Return for Tomorrow's Post:

This post was rewritten and derived from the speech  How Will the Unified World Be Unified on Earth?

Return to God's lineage

Could you have imagined that heaven and hell both exist within each person's mind?  As there exist hell, there also exist heaven in spirit world.  If you live according to your original God-given mind, you are automatically in heaven.  On the other hand, if you solely follow your physical desires, you live in hell. 

In one person lives two people and there are two worlds in this world.

Just as there exist good people, there are evil people, good and evil nations and good and evil worlds.  Two opposing forces are always in conflict.  When the world finally ends struggle and make a complete unified foundation of peace centered on our perfected inner selves, then we will begin to see the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. 

Where do we begin to solve the issue of struggle in the world?

We go back to the beginning of all human struggle.  The origin of sin began with the fall of Adam and Eve.  Their fall caused each person to have two blood lineages. 

The first human ancestor's obeyed the enemy of God and obtained his blood lineage and passed on this fallen lineage unceasingly generation after generation. 

Our original mind is connected to God's lineage.  This is where you hear the old adage, "Let your conscience be your guide". 

One who follows their conscience 100% can become a perfected individual.  Good and evil cannot become one.

Who did Adam and Eve resemble and relate to the most before the fall? 

They resemble God.  God is our father, we say this as people of faith, but is God really our father?  How can a True Father and a True Child  have two different blood lineages?  Does God have a conflict between His mind and body?  The unity between God's mind and body are absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal.

How does man connect to God?  Through one man, we lost our connection to God, through one man, Jesus Christ, man and God can be united.  With a representative of God born on earth, we as adopted sons and daughters can unite with God as our adoptive Father. 

Now in the Completed Testament Age, the Returned Messiah restores God's lineage to mankind lost from the first man and woman who were to become True Parents of all humankind through the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.  In other words, the Messiah takes a true wife and bears True children reversing the mistake of Adam and Eve.

"If you can say that you are one with God, no one should ever be able to separate you from Him. Your body wants to go one way, but your mind wants to go the other way. Which way should you go? You sometimes reach such turning points, don't you? How can God be with someone who is in a chaotic state? Those whose mind and body are in struggle cannot enjoy an eternal relationship with God. That is the decisive conclusion." SMM

We say that we are the son and daughter, but what does that mean?  How does one come into existence?  Through the father's and mother's blood lineage.  The father's life and love and mother's life and love become one together through the children.  You are the product of your parents' love, life and blood lineage. 

You should not live with a complicated heart and mind. No matter how difficult the situation you are in is, you should not complicate your mind by doing things solely for your own benefit and for your own sake.

"Even in the most difficult circumstances, if you try to make others happy and benefit others a hundred times more than yourself, you will be able to find a way to have the situation in hand. I say, "Amen." Does God have a confused and chaotic heart?" 

Do we have such a heart?

No matter what how difficult or confusing the situation is, we should remember God's ultimate goal for us.  He wants to save you and me, make us happy, to always do good for us and give us many blessings.  If we carry the same attitude of God, we will be able to control any situation no matter how hard it may seem.  Each one of us has this ability.  Think Like God should be our new slogan.

We should really see the difference between true love and false love.  Even if the whole world is turned upside down in chaos, you can always find the center of control once you choose the path to live for the sake of others for their sake.  No obstacle will be able to stand in front of you on your path. 

This is why God throughout the thousands of years of turmoil, heartache and pain to bring about world restoration, never was confused or had a chaotic heart.  This is the principle in which we should all adapt.

"When I am busy, I usually visit many places and meet many people in a day. But I can handle meeting various people and visiting various places. How complicated and changing can my situation be? If I were doing all of that for my own sake, I would be really busy calculating how much benefit I get from here and how much I make from there."

Once we live a life of giving and forgetting how much we have invested, everything in our life becomes simple.  We start to live by principle.  Give and forget.  It is that simple.  Imagine how the world would be if every human lived by this principle.  Even the most hectic and complicated lifestyle becomes simple when one lives this way.  Nothing is complicated.  Wherever they go they will find that everything fits in place perfectly.


Blood Lineage

The Western culture has not learned the importance and value of blood lineage. 

Your body's cells are connected directly to generations of your ancestors.  The blood of your ancestors is alive in each and every cell of your body.  We must be proud of our lineage, but can God be proud?

You are linked to your ancestor's fallen bloodline.

You were supposed to be born directly into God's blood lineage, but instead were born as the fruit of the satanic blood lineage. 

The Unification Church testifies to the Messiah returning in our age preparing our heavenly blood lineage.  Evil will not last forever! AMEN!  You should know that the blood lineage which you carry is a satanic blood lineage.  You live in a fallen world born of a hellish lineage.  If you follow your bodily desires, you live in hell, if you follow your conscience, you are in heaven.

We should deny our fallen body and follow our Godly original mind.  Our body desires to eat, sleep, make love with different people and lives only for itself.  The heavenly way tells you to fast, make prayer conditions, serve God, shed blood, sweat and tears for others and make sacrifices.  This seems like death to the fallen body;those who want to die shall live and those who want to live shall die. 

That is the final conclusion.


Your Body's True Owner

Is a woman the owner of her own sexual organ?

This is the answer given by Father Moon:

"No, it exists for her husband. You women must understand this! The owner of a woman's sexual organ is her husband. The eternal owner is her husband. Before, it belongs to her husband, it belongs to her parents. Before, that it belongs to God. Whom does the man's sexual organ belong to? His wife. Without realizing the true owner of your sexual organ, how can you say that it is yours?

So living life without marrying is the greatest among sins because it denies the ancestry; wife denying her husband, husband denying his wife, parents denying their children are the worst of sins. It destroys the heavenly law. It leads to the entire lineage coming to an end in a single generation."

No one truly understands how extremely infinitely large spirit world is.  When we look at the world today, we can think how much hell is filling up and how empty Heaven must be.

God absolutely wants people on earth to create true ideal families and reproduce as much as possible to populate the Heavenly Kingdom.  How can one want to remain single when they know this truth about God. 

God is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal, so His blood lineage has the same quality and will be unending.  The satanic lineage has none of these characteristics and has an end.  Therefore, we should be proud to have the chance to obtain the pure heavenly blood lineage through the Marriage given by the Messiah which is called the Blessing.  On the flip side, the satanic lineage abhors  the heavenly lineage and they can never touch, see or feel it.

The Messiah and his wife are called the True Parents.  They give the blessing to those who follows God directly through the words of the Completed Testament.  Their families are the ones to inherit God's lineage-they do not inherit True Parents' lineage.  They inherit God's direct lineage and then engraft to the True Parents' lineage.  This was Jesus' hope and desire two thousand years ago.

This was the hope God had for Jesus-to find a bride, marry and give the marriage blessing to his disciples spreading good lineages across the world.  By our day and age, we would experience heaven on earth by now. But because his disciples "did not know the time of their visitation" and "could not yet understand things not of this world" Jesus had to go the way of the cross to save humankind. 

If Adam and Eve had obeyed God and waited for the time of their maturity, when and how would they connect to God's love, life and lineage?

 When Adam and Eve were married directly by God.  We have come to believe in modern society that the first man and woman were married before they were banished from the Garden of Eden. This is not so. 

God did not directly give marriage to Adam and Eve.  The fall occurred because man and woman misused their sexual organs without God's permission and were immediately banished.  The original plan was for them to be blessed into marriage by God and unite with Him representing his external form based on God's internal characteristics. 

How were we to unite in this way? 

Through their pure use of their sexual organs as True Husband and True Wife, this is where our first love was to begin.  With this unity of Adam and Eve in love, there would be no way for either of them to be tempted by Satan to fall.  Their pure power of love would have been stronger than Satan's fallen love.

Then when this love base is established, Adam and Eve's children as the third generation would automatically be born with a direct connection to God.
 
No one can deny that.

This is the absolute principle to realize the ideal family. You need to have the third generation. That is the only way, God, Adam and Eve and their children can create the four-position relationship of God-man-woman, husband and wife, parent-child and siblings centered on God.

Even God cannot destroy this four-position foundation. God inevitably has to protect it. But Satan tries to destroy it. With what?

With the greatest power.  Knowledge, money, extreme power?  No...with love.  Satan has false love and engrafted to Adam and Eve when they obeyed his words to use their love, instead of God's word to wait until maturity to partake in love. 

This false love has been inherited by the 7 billion people on this earth, no matter how rich, famous or great their family lineage may seem.  Every person not blessed into Holy Marriage given by the Messiah is under satanic dominion and not connected to the direct lineage of God.

We at best are adopted sons through the life of Jesus.


Mind and Body Unity

When the struggle of your mind wants to go toward the good way, but your body struggles to take you in the wrong direction you should stop and think, "Which is stronger?  My godly mind or my satanic body?" 

Surely our answer should be that our Godly side is stronger than the satanic blood lineage.  Then you should kick and weaken your body.

What tempts our mind to struggle.  It is simple.  Eating, resting and making love outside of God's dominion.  Our desire for these things are the problem.  And making fallen false love is the main enemy.  Our body loves these things the most.  Satan uses these three doors.  To go in the right direction, we should break apart from these selfish desires which does nothing for God.

So, the desire to eat is a problem. Many people are reading this today. All of you like to swing your heads around to look for the food you like.

You are swinging the head of the devil when you do that. The true owner is someone who makes sure everyone else is well fed and then he eats the leftovers. God would eat the leftovers with a satisfied heart. For the sake of your children, do not play around. Do not recklessly engage in self-centered love.

Why is the desire to eat a problem?  Don't you need to eat to live? 

A true owner makes sure that others are well fed and happy and can eat leftovers with a satisfied heart.  This is God's thinking.  Satan watches for people who eat centered on themselves.

"Are you confident enough to follow what I have just said?  If it were officially decided that all the young people in the world should receive the blessing from Rev. Moon, then do you think that everyone should go that way or not? [They should.]"

Why?  That is the only way AIDS can be prevented. That is the best medicine to prevent the collapse of teenage morality and family destruction.  How can AIDS spread if young people wait for marriage and only share their sexual organs with with their partners?

Toward the end of each speech Father Moon gives direction to the congregation to pledge what they learned by raising their hands.  He has said that even if you think it is a difficult responsibility to fulfill, by pledging with your hands to heaven and trying your utmost effort to fulfill, even if you cannot, spirit world will aid you to complete your mission.

This is the last part of the speech in his own words:

"No government can prevent the moral decline of their society.

Even the best education cannot stop it. No economic or military power can stop the problems. Nothing can really solve such complicated problems. Only True Parents. It is not difficult for the True Parents to solve the problems of youth and of families, and it isn't a problem to build the Kingdom of Heaven. [Amen!]

You must raise your hands and say Amen.[Amen!] Now, we know what our families should do. Even God cannot pull us out. Not even True Parents can pull people out of heavenly unity once it is established.

Neither the power of the United States nor that of the world can take anyone away from it. It is the absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal unity. It is better than God is.

True Parents are the best of the king's messengers to pave the way for you to fly up to heaven directly. That is true. Where a bridge is needed, I build the bridge. Where mountains are too high, I give you an airplane. God's angels come and hold you in their bosom and fly with you. True Parents can make such things happen.

Let's say that you will have about a thousand generations of descendants in the future and already have about a thousand generations of ancestors. You can be the number one couple among all of them if you keep your purity absolutely like God, who is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. You must be able to see that God is the first ancestor, and you are the second ancestor. That is what it means by saying that mine is the central family of the blessing."
