Even an Atom Has Aspirations

The message of today's post is the realm of existence.  The balance of human life is so fragile that it can be compared to hanging on the thread of a spiders web.

Could you imagine inhaling ten times without exhaling?  Even to try to inhale three consecutive times in a row is not easy.  You can try it.

The natural inhaling and exhaling are one simple example of the beautiful balance that characterizes all of existence.  Balance and harmony exists on a very thin line.  In addition to the respiratory system, our body also has a nervous system and a cardiovascular system.

They maintain a tight, narrow balancing act to sustain the life of the human body.  For example, if you close one nostril, of course it becomes difficult to breathe.

If you close one eye, then your vision is incomplete and your face is not symmetrical.  Through just these examples we conclude that pairs are necessary, or complementary aspects, in our life.

Where does human life originate?

It starts from a base or foundation that is harmonized.  Common logic concludes that everything has its origin in harmony.

Since we come from harmony and balance, there must be some element that generates this equilibrium.  From studying the Principle, you learn that God exists in dual essentialities.

Then it is possible to determine the subject and object elements within God.  This is one of the truly great discoveries in human history.

A subject and an object is needed to form a pair or circuit.

Everything in existence participates as a subject or in an object role.  God is the ultimate subject of the universe and created all things in the objective role to Him.

Within any subject, a minus or objects also exists.  In other words, the subject also contains dual elements.

The plus, which is subject and minus are supposed to form a circuit of give and take, interacting in a complementary manner.  This basic truth of the relationship of God and creation is seen in the cosmos.  The universe is divided into small entities trillions of subject and object.

But the relationship is always subject or plus, and object or minus, and each of these always contains complementary elements.

Chemistry has identified over 100 elements.  An element consists of atoms of only one kind and cannot be broken down into simpler particles by ordinary or physical means.  Each element is identified by the number of plus and minus particles it contains.

The relationship of plus-minus is marvelously complex and sophisticated and can be seen in all the beautiful aspects of the universe.  The variations throughout the universe come from different combinations and angles of plus and minus.

If we take an individual for example, he may have a very large plus element and a small minus element.  There are many variation, but the basic principle will stay the same.  Each being encompasses 360 degrees and includes various plus and minuses while its composition is unique.

Imagine drawing a line through a circle.  The two complementary halves which are formed match if you go directly through the center and balance is created.

Every atom can be broken down into protons, electrons and neutrons.  Even within the small atom, there are two kinds of electrical charges of plus and minus.  

We can compare the atom with a heavenly body: there is always a center with elements that are revolving around it.  Even the smallest of atoms has an electron revolving around the nucleus.  It is like a miniature solar system.

All the elements of existence can be contracted into a tiny atom or expanded to the solar system and the universe.  The microcosm and the macrocosm reflect one another.

Today, scientist say that the universe arises from energy, but what is energy and how does it exist?

Energy operates only within the bound of universal law.

Which is the first cause: energy or action?  This is like the question which came first, the "chicken or the egg".

I already stated that energy is no exception to the law of existence. Neither energy nor action can be permanent or solid without the fundamental elements of plus and minus. In other words, energy and action are like the effect, or the shadow; the complementary elements of plus and minus are prerequisites to both of them. 

When we look at the law of existence and say that thought, spirit comes before matter, then that means that energy or action cannot be the origin of the universe.  What created this energy; where did it come from?

Within God there is plus and minus and that relationship is found everywhere. 

When plus and minus create a circuit, the action of give and take immediately arises.

Action creates energy just as flowing water through a power plant produces energy.  How much energy you exert depends on the size of your object. 

An extraordinary object calls forth extraordinary energy.

For example, would you use the same amount of energy to pick up a piece of chalk that you use lifting a rock?  To relate to a small object, you only need a small amount of energy, while a large object requires greater energy.

This is the most logical universal truth:  existence begins with plus and minus forming a reciprocal relationship of subject and object producing give and take action.  Energy is generated through such action.

Scientist use examples of energy so much because it is something that they can see and study.

But science must recognize that before there is energy there are two deeper elements which may not be recognizable by the scientific method of research.

Plus and minus are invisible and often impossible to study in a laboratory.  Energy has a prerequisite which scientists do not study that far.  They are content to conclude that the universe originated with energy and that is that.

However, energy is unable to produce action if it does not have the two elements of plus and minus, in other words a subject and an object.

Do you have love?

Can you pinpoint where it is and show it to someone?

You are not able to see the love within you or show it.  However, once you have an object of love, you will feel a certain power moving within you through the relationship of give and take.  You then feel love growing.  

On the same token, people may not know whether or not God exists.  God is invisible like love.  You cannot pinpoint His location, but as soon as we become an object to Him, we are able to feel His power moving within us.

This method is very scientific, even though scientists do not recognize it.

All action in the universe springs from the dual natures of subject and object.

Apart from subject and object, action cannot take place and energy cannot be generated.  

We each have hopes and dreams that must have a direction or goal as their subject.  Our aspirations and goals, thus must work together as a hand in a glove, as plus and minus.  People naturally want to fulfill their aspirations and reach their goals, because we long to resemble God.

Our ultimate goal is to unite subject and object.  We then become perfect objects to God and can have direct give and take with Him.

Just as humans have hopes, all things of creation do, too, although on a different level.

The aspiration and goal of all the elements was the creation of the universe.

Without that hope, they cannot connect to God.  Without unity or love, the universe would not have come into existence. All things of creation ultimately aspire to resemble God.

The Starting Point of Love

At the beginning of this blog about 9 months ago, I brought up the notion of perfection.  Is it possible for one to be perfected?  Originally, God created Adam and Eve to reach perfection through full maturity before they consummated in the giving of their fruits of love.

Wouldn't an absolute, almighty being want to have an absolute, perfect being in which to have relations or a corrupted being?  Of course, if God had planned for humanity to live in the perfect world known as the Garden of Eden and had no other choice, but to throw us out after humanity's mistake, would He give up His dream and desire to fulfill the ideal of His creation?

I don't think God would give up.  Therefore, throughout history, God strives to bring humanity back to their original position before the Fall.  He brought religion, countless saints, and the Messiah to turn humanity away from the fallen path we have inherited.

Since our first ancestors misused love away from God, what is the starting point of true love?


The Perfection of the individual

An individual cannot attain perfection by knowledge, power or money.

Rather, perfection is realized through love -- not vulgar love, but the original love. By this love everything is perfected.

Perfection can only be realized through love.  Not just any kind of love but the original love.  Through this love, everything is perfected.  We each are born with five senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell.  Each senses should be centered on perfected love.  This means that every sensation of our eyes, nose, mouth, hands and so forth should be perfected centering on love.

One cannot abide in that state by oneself. One must be relating ever more closely with a counterpart. One's counterpart is ever changing, and the feelings coming from one's counterpart are ever changing.

When our five senses become one centering on love we then experience the world in a state of ecstasy.  We would be enraptured by our surroundings and lovingly take in the world around us.

God created the mind and body based on love. 

For an individual to become perfect, these must become one. An individual grows to maturity through their eternal give and take action.

The quality of love can fill an enlarged space or shrink to an infinitely small point.  This is heavenly love.  Through the eyes of love, it does not matter if something is big or small.  Small things have their value in small packages and large things have their value in a big package.  This is God's desire to create such a world of love.

To begin the process of perfecting an individual one must start from love then mature centering on love.  This process resembles a bud growing into fruit. Then when the person attains the proper standard of love, God will dwell in his future marriage.  Until his love has matured, there is no basis upon which to bear good fruit.

Everything is created and sustained based upon the law of love. 

Fruit is produced after a flower blooms, the stamen and pistil within the flower engage in give and take action creating a circular motion.  This is the same in the animal world and among human beings.  Everything in creation can only reach completion through the relationship of love, therefore, every entity can become perfect only through love.

When you become one with the core of the realm of God's love, mind and body can be united and become mature.  This is the process how a person who has not fallen grows toward individual perfection.

The perfection of an individual means the unification of mind and body. 

When the mind in the subject position engages in give and take action with the body in the object position, then this unified mind and body becomes the object of God. 

The mind should be unchanging forever.  The mind tends to focus on heaven and the body tends toward the world.

This is based upon the Cosmic Teaching and calls upon us to unite the incorporeal and corporeal worlds.  If a person wants to rule the cosmos, shouldn't they have a united mind and body?  Without a united mind and body, that person will perish.

what should they center on?  The mind and body should unite centered on God and then you become the external God reflecting His inner and outer nature.  How does one unite the mind to a fallen body?  We should center this unity upon love.


You can be your own worst enemy if you cannot unite your mind and body.

The perfection of an individual starts from the point where he or she makes a vertical relationship with God.  It is faith of the parent-child relationship.

What is individual perfection in this day?  As God loves us, this is the law of the Principle. We must also love God because love is only realized when subject and object give and take, there is no separation between God and His children.  This is the starting point for individual perfection.

We should establish a tradition of mutual love, respect and attendance of God as the vertical center.  Then we receive his love as His sons and daughters.

One should fulfill their individual responsibility on their way to individual perfection.  Before God can fully display His love for fallen, unclean man and woman, we must first perfect our character.

What do you think perfection of character means? It means to become a person who can fulfill his or her responsibility. That is to say, one must first be restored to one's original position before the Fall and then reach perfection, finally capable of fulfilling one's responsibility. This process involves a revolutionary change in character.

Since God is the subject partner to love, He requires an absolute object partner in which to have give and take action of love.

Individual perfection means the perfection of character. 

Once you clearly understand that you can obtain true love only after you have perfected your character, you must bear in mind that there is no other way to go besides the way of perfecting your character.

Once a person fulfills their responsibility and become mature people before God in a position to praise and love Him, he or she realizes the perfection of character.    The only way to obtain true love is by perfecting our fallen, sinful character.

People who live externally only in the satanic world has no connection to the realm of heart.

Once you have gone through a revolution of character, then and only then will you be led to true love.  One will never be able to reach perfection as long as they remain selfish, self-centered, have worldly greed, attachment to children, and having cultural superiority.  These are Satan's traps.

To become mature in character we must deny everything in the satanic world, by denying every worldly thing and bear much persecution.  Those who think centered on themselves and not God remain tied to the satanic realm.  Once you inherit God's heart and reached a perfected character, then you can connect with God's standard of character.

We must become people who can meet the standard of the original perfected character by continuously reforming ourselves and fulfilling our given responsibilities.

The Divine Principle, Unification Thought can make you reform and perfect yourself delving into the depths, pains and truths of God's heart.

To reform this world, we must perfect our character one hundred percent. Otherwise, we cannot reach the level of perfect joy.

What if war ended and there was peace all over the world.  Each one of us would not experience perfect joy as long as memories of the Fall remain in us.  How can we call it World Peace if when we go home we cannot be happy or love our wife or children fully because of sin?  We must erase the notion that human beings fell and become beings who are more than one hundred percent perfect.

Where is love's embarkation point, love's encampment, and the place of love's safe settlement?

Among you, some might hope that it is your mind and body. In fact, if your mind and body become the place where God's love can settle safely, then you will become the perfect encampment for unification.

God can safely settle in the mind and body then you become the perfect encampment for unification.  You become the object of God's love and become God's direct son who will inherit the family business which is the enterprise of heaven and earth.  When God witnesses this day wouldn't He cry tears of gratitude welcoming you proudly, "Oh, my son!"?


Where does love start?

We must be able to correspond with the harmony of heaven and earth and carry out our responsibility.

Love begins from a perfected individual after going through adolescence and become qualified to love the opposite sex.  We must correspond to heaven and earth and carry out our responsibility.  However, Adam and Eve did not begin their family in this way.  Their love could not happen where heaven and earth could unite.

They did not have the destined love, but united centered on satanic love.  Every human descended from the first parents who never tasted God's true love.  We do not even understand the concept of a world of true love.  We must each prepare a foundation of true love centered on God, then he comes down for the first time with His love.

God looks down at humans as His masterpiece and cannot help but loving them when He sees them love each other and makes a way for people to join in relationships of love.  God existed first as the Word and thereafter creating all things, created human beings on the last day.  God created Adam as His object partner and the female Eve as Adam''s object partner.

Centering on God, Adam and Eve in the position of subject and object partners are to make a relationship of love. At the same time, God and the two human beings, Adam and Eve, would make a relationship of subject and object partners.

Were Adam to make a subject-object relationship with God, without making a subject-object relationship with Eve, he would not be able to possess God's eternal love, nor could he exist eternally. By only making a relationship with God, Adam would only be able to move in a straight line. The same would apply if he related only with Eve.

Eternity and perfection are obtained not from linear motion, but require spherical motion. To change from linear motion to spherical motion, Adam also needs to make a relationship with Eve as his object partner. Adam alone cannot establish the harmony of life and love.

Everything in creation exists based on movement through three points or it will not be perfect or eternal.    Adam was to approach God through His object Eve and Eve through Adam, not through a straight line.  This way, they would proceed in a spherical movement.  To approach Eve, they would have to have a love relationship, because by himself he does not have the strength to approach God.

We know that Adam and Eve chose love outside of God's realm, but what if they had reached perfection and had completely matured as man and woman to receive the marriage blessing of God instead of getting kicked out.

They would have centered on one love and become Mother and unite with the entire universe.  We see the opposite in our environment in these Last Days.  They would have united with God and have initiated a new beginning in the universe, in heaven and earth.

How could this begin.  The starting point of a cosmos of peace was to be God's love.

Where would be the origin of this God-centered unified love?

God had originally intended that Adam and Eve would mature and embrace all things in heaven and earth.   Their hearts would have overflowed with happiness, enraptured in God's love.    Their love would have hope for tomorrow and be big enough to embrace all future generations.  This would be the starting point for true love to appear uniting man and woman centering on God's love.  By not reaching this level, the starting point of unified love does not appear.

After an individual achieves perfection as a spouse in the conjugal relationship, we should receive public recognition center on God's love to establish the true ideal.

Seven Principles for Loving Relationships

We speak a lot about the importance of one obtaining mind and body unity.  This principle fosters and furthers true love when it is centered on God.  It is one of seven such principles that underpin both the natural and human worlds.

“There is not a single thing that lacks an inherent principle,” writes the Confucian philosopher Chu Hsi

The Great Learning 5


There are principles and a natural law that govern the nature of each existence.

The principles that govern the natural world and the human world have many parallels to one another.  This is because they both have a single origin, God.  The difference is that humanity has been given free will in order to choose to live in accordance with their own God-given natures or not.

From a different perspective, these principles also reveal much about the Creator to us:

Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.

Romans 1:19-20


The Divine Principle gives insight about how true love has a counterpart in the world which tells us a lot about God's characteristics.  We will first define these principles and the general principle that is active within the larger universe.


Principles for True Love

1. Maturing Through Responsibility

As each person fulfills the responsibility of true love, they grow into the fullness of humanity.

Everything in the universe automatically grows in maturity ... except humans.  A person's reaches the mind's potential when the individual exercises his own portion of responsibility.  This portion or free will has been equated to 5% where God's responsibility is 95%.  Human's portion though greatly smaller than God's, take 100% effort in order to fulfill.

Responsibility is a rudder to steer a person into a life of goodness and morality. 

Character educator Thomas Lickona boiled virtues education down to the two major ones of “Respect” and "Responsibility".

He said that educators had found over and over again that respect and responsibility covered all of the virtues.  Responsibility is the major umbrella virtue and is pivotal to a fulfilled life.  It encompasses the development of most other virtues needed for growth of an individual.

When we look at responsibility from the Principle point-of-view, we see that it is a gift from God.  This allows man to become participants in their own creation instead of being born 'ready made'.  God gave us chose in responsibility for the enhancement of human beings instead of making everything automatic which is found in nature.

Reverend Moon has said that if God intervened too much in humankind’s responsibility, their
"honor and dignity would be nullified".  It would be like a mother or father that held onto did all of their child's homework or never let go of the handlebars as their child learns to ride a bike holding them up instead of learning on their own eventually.

As the common saying goes, “What you are is God’s gift to you. What you become is your gift to God.”

We have a responsibility together with God to create and shape ourselves into the types of people we want and are meant to be.  We will do better with our growth when we take responsibility and participate in creating our own destinies.


2. Mind and Body Unity

The previous two posts give a more focused point on how to obtain Mind and Body Unity.

Mind and body unity—the mind leading the body—permits a person to give true love.

All things are composed of external and internal dimensions, with the external following the internal. In the case of humans, the body is to obey the mind.


3. Giving and Receiving

In the universe, all new forces and things arise from two entities forming a relationship and solidifying it through giving and receiving elements of themselves.

We generate and sustain true love through give and take action.  When we give first, investing continually and receiving, true love can come through.

Interaction is an amazing phenomenon.  When we observe nature entities from the subatomic particle to the solar system from male to female animals to symbiotic plants, we see that they all form a relationship and solidify it through giving and receiving of elements of themselves.

From a large nuclear reaction in the heart of the sun to biochemical reaction in a small living cell, what powers all movement is development and reproduction.

Even the very existence of things depends on give and take; the raging drama of a summer storm would not exist except for the intense give and take between hot and cold, high pressure and low, positively and negatively charged.

“All God’s creations borrow from each other,” reads a Jewish Midrash, “day borrows from night and night from day . . . the sky borrows from the earth, and the earth from the sky”

Exodus Rabbah 31.15

Interrelatedness and interdependence abound.



4. Subject and Object Partnership

When a person respects their role in a relationship and fulfills their responsibility, true love flows.  This is true whether they are initiating or responding, leading or supporting.  Every entity establishes one of these position in the course of every interaction in the universe.

People in the subject mode may provide leadership or impart knowledge; those in the object mode may offer support or receive instruction.  For instance, in the role of a family, the parents are in the subject partner role and the children are in the object partner position.

A physician is subject, patient is object, the quarterback is the subject partner in certain football plays while the teammates are his object partners.  A manager and the rest of the employees are also in a subject-object relationship.

Then what would the ultimate subject and object partnership be?  This would be between the Creator and His creation.  When God initiates in the relationship, His object partner which is humanity is to respond.

This is the import of the Christian declaration, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

John 3.16

 God inspires prophets with His Word; humankind responds by heeding it.



5. Masculine and Feminine Harmony 

All entities in nature exist in a paired structure—male and female or positively
and negatively charged—and each attracts its complementary opposite to form
productive relationships.

The harmony between men and women creates a base for true love to develop and become deeper.  Therefore, men and women need each other for support.

Masculine and feminine trying to find balance in order to unite expresses a principle that runs throughout all of existence.  When these two polarities harmonize and give off a beautiful tension, it fills the universe with energy, structure, life, beauty and joy.

We see this exampled in a white frosty mountain overlooking a green valley, a peacock with colorful long tail feathers on display to attract a peahen who in turn will bear his young.  An electron weighs less than a thousandth of a proton, yet they precisely balance to comprise an atom.

Reverend Moon has said, “Beauty arises from the fusion of extremes into a harmonious oneness".


6. Investing Towards Oneness

There is an innate want for unity between complementary partner which initiates the effort needed to realize true love.  Complementarities like male and female begin as separate beings in the world but are drawn into oneness.

We see these natural uninhibited occurrences arise between polarities in nature, but when we look in the human world of man, we see various conflicts.  In real life, men and women are meant to unite their opposite attributes, but do not easily get along.  At times they may seem to be enemies.

If you were to put a group of men and women together in the same room, you will find that the conversation will lean toward the differences and confusion between men and women and possibly their relationships.

“Women talk too much,” “men are so insensitive,” “females are just a heap of emotions,” “all men think about is sex”—the complaints are predictable.

The history of men and women is fret with misunderstandings, mistrust, abuse and exploitation.  One gender has taken advantage of the other's need and natural dependence and used their gifts to overpower the other for eons.

Men have bullied women with their physical strength, women have controlled men through their sexual allure cause this clash between the sexes. This evil legacy began in the very first family at the beginning of history which has been taught in all the great traditions.

This disunity between men and women is also due to the different "culture" that each gender shares. Tons of books speak about the fact that women and men live, think and communicate differently from the other.

From God's point of view this was not meant for disharmony or for power struggle between the two genders, but for them to unite and naturally arises during the course of each gender's development.


7. Unity Around a Higher Purpose

Unity between people when they focus on a higher purpose creates the basis for true love.  When beings have a shared purpose, this will lead toward unity.  In hierarchies, individual purposes serve the whole.

The most basic of shared projects is the relationship itself.

Family members, teammates and business partners may often wisely make substantial sacrifices for the sake of their alliance, what psychologist Terry Hargrave calls “we-ness.”

The vitality of this “we-ness” depends on how much the participants can favor the interest of the relationship over their own interests, and seek to reach their personal goals and meet their individual needs through the relationship instead of around or in spite of it.

Any good sports team knows this.

“In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity,” says legendary University of Alabama Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. “Every player must put the team first—ahead of personal glory.”

Long wed couples know this too and make many sacrifices for the marriage. Lovemaking within a caring marriage is a metaphor for this idea:

Each partner seeks to satisfy the other and ultimately comes to surrender to their union.  Ego can get in the way of this union, but one should recognize that rather than losing anything in this surrender, each self gains deep joy and a meaningful connection.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: Where Does Love Begin

Text rewritten and derived from the textbook: True Love, Chapter Mind and Body Unity

God Loves the Wife the Most

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

God is fair.

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

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

A wife should never be indebted to her husband.

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

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

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

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

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

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

You should feel the family standard keenly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Man has an active and conquering nature.

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

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

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

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

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

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


All Creation Exists in Pairs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Consider America

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

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

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

How does one connect mind and body?

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

When you roll like this, you are dancing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


True prosperity

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

Why? Because God exists and God is like that.

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

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

All women will want to marry that man.

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