Can We Build World Peace?

God is the high pressure air and when we become humble as low pressure air of the nation, you are the best patriots.  Everybody will pay respect to you, including the president.  How do you become the lowest pressure air; go live for others; serve others to create low pressure air.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon


We know the core beliefs of communism and democracy.

What is Unificationism? It is the harmony of everything through the power of love.


My children know the universal truth and they pray according to it. You, too, know what to pray for. Then God will heed your prayer. Otherwise, your prayers are just mumbling and bumbling-beating around the bush, in God's opinion. People say many things about me, but one thing is absolutely true, I am the one religious leader who will make you suffer the most! 


You may protest to Father's instructions, but this is why he pushes us out to suffer for the cause.

If you are able to work harder than everyone else, with a loving heart of suffering for the sake of the family, even your parents will come and bow down to you and thank you from the bottom of their heart.

Through living that way, you become the child of God.

When you are truly one with God, living with Him, you attain God's position in your family.  As members that understand Unification Thought, you shoulder the worst problems of the United States with a loving heart, then the entire country will eventually bow down to you.

This is heavenly law.

You become the patriots of patriots when you live this way.  But in order to become that standard, you must suffer for the sake of the nation, with a loving heart more than anyone else in history.

There are quite a number of patriots in every country, but only a few saints. 

The realm of the saint is different from that of the patriot: he works for the universe and for God.

There are three levels of spiritual advancement: children of filial piety, or good members of the family; patriots; and saints or holy people.  How high is Father's ambition for the members?

He isn't just teaching merely how to be children of filial piety, but how to be saints.


I am ambitiously seeking to take on the worst problems of the universe, asking to bear the universal burden. Is that good? People have had high ambitions and have tried to establish Utopian ideals, but no one has been able to accomplish them.


Why haven't we been able to bring about a better world of peace?

Father sought out to understand the greatest problems in the world.

God's worst headaches are the expansion of communism, the rapid decline in religion and the degradation of the youth and collapse of morals in the nation.  These are the major problems of the world that have to be tackled.

God has been working day in and day out through people of faith to solve these problems.  Father volunteered telling God not to worry that he was going to take away His heavy burden and solve the problems for Him.  He came up with a source and method with the quality of hope to unify the world and establish a true Utopia.


This was the motivation behind the International Conferences for the Unity of the Sciences. God's original plan was for people to be perfected within approximately 20 years. I am thinking that if I lead these scientists and eminent scholars for 20 years, they will have reached a pretty good level. Every year they give their unflagging attention to absolute values. When they could find no answer to a certain question, they decided to ask me about it!


Father had many accusations and criticisms thrown at him, but he continued on moving forward able to digest anything that came to hinder his mission.  We are engaged in a war against communism, confronting face to face.

He is opposed by many established churches in the Catholic and Christian communities, but he just tells them that they are not able to digest him and they need him if there is any hope for the future of the world to become the ideal world God envisioned in the beginning of creation.

Father was not only able to digest opposition along the way, but he created a logical explanation for all these phenomena without any hazy areas.


I can be calm even in the midst of suffering. If I am sentenced to prison and have to face hardships, I am filled with peace even as I enter jail. I can sleep well, eat well, and even digest sand if necessary. There is never a cause for worry once you know universal truth. I am absolutely confident of my destination, the heavenly world, and I want to take as many people along as I can. I can invite you to accompany me without any doubts, since I know our goal and destination.



To the degree that I am a perfect minus to God, I am a perfect plus to you. Whenever you create the perfect minus position, I will be with you.

The Unification Church is grounded in the truth of this principle. We see throughout history that any new truth that emerged and outshone the current truth that the other one would fade away.

Unless there is a greater truth that emerges higher than the Divine Principle, there is no way anyone can push us back or put us on the defensive.

We should be the ones resolved to suffer more than anybody else.  The principle does not change whether you have a Ph.D or are a famous actor or actress.

I am setting a new tradition, and those who give themselves to the best of their abilities for the sake of others with a loving heart shall form the mainstream.

It does not matter if one does not like this way or not, it is truth.

You are pushed out to live for the sake of others because the results will be glorious.

Great blessings await you at the end of your course.

Then you will be grateful.

Is this just to win you with cunning and sugarcoated promises?  This is the absolute truth.

So many people have wanted me to disappear, to be taken to heaven or hell-or wherever! Many people have actually prayed for my life to be taken away, so why does God keep me here on earth? Regardless of what the entire world might think or pray for, God needs me and the members of the Unification Church.

You should have no fear going this way, as God has the power to protect you.  So, you should move forward with a bold and strong heart.  You are a living being and should have the powerful life force that can move the whole universe.

Once you are fortified with this ideology, no challenge is big to you.  When Father first came to the US, do you think that he was overwhelmed?

Once you become the perfect object to God, you then can act independently.  In that case, you might say, "Father, I don't need your help or the church.  I will take responsibility for this country."

You can pledge that you will become perfected then reach out to bring along the rest of the church because that is your goal and destiny.

Opposition is a test to see whether you can do these things on your own.  If you cannot overcome opposition, you have nothing to be truly proud of.

But because you have learned to withstand and overcome opposition, this is proof that you can accomplish great things on your own.  This is beautiful and dynamic.

During the heaviest of battles, Father never was afraid. He never prayed to God that he was perishing and help him.

He told God to let him do the work and sit back and enjoy the show and take delight in the accomplishment to come.  This is the way he teaches us to be.

You shall become people of dynamic boldness and strength. 

We shouldn't lose motivation, become discouraged over our chose of spouse or lose our energy. With such thinking, you will not go far.

Those who pledge, "Yes, Father I will follow your principle, become a dynamo and perfect myself on my own, helping to create the nation, world which God desires,' raise your hands, please.

Let us Pray.



Return for Tomorrow's Post: Prisoner of God's Love



This Post was rewritten and derived from the speech The Realm of Existence

Womens' Tragic Life

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

Helen Keller





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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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


Only One Way

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Digest And Convert

Can you answer me this question?

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

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

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

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


Unification Is Everything

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

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

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


Ministers Don't Know Basics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Your Body The Monster

Here is the formula for salvation:

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

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

Profound Teaching

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

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


Tales Of Deception

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

From the text "Victorious True Parents"

God Needs Liberation, Too

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


The Order of Love

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is abnormal love?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Liberation

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



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

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


Digest Everything Through Love

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

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