Where is the School of Love?

Why is it that something as love which is vital to human life as breathing, the ability to give and receive does not come to us naturally?

Rather, true love must be taught, learned and practiced. Humans spend many years as immature, dependent children who have to learn how to act in the world and then provide for themselves.

Schools, teachers, masters of trades and parents teach them skills, but there is no formal school or system that teach people how to love and be loved.

Left without instruction on the proper way to love centered on God, people are left floundering, having to learn about love through painful trial and error.

We have witnessed science and the arts flourish rapidly throughout the centuries, yet our wisdom about love and relationships grows slowly at best and unevenly.

Pitirim Sorokin, a sociologist at Harvard, expressed his chagrin at “our enormous ignorance of love’s properties, of the efficient way of its production, accumulation, and distribution.”

We are living the era to remedy all the love ails by studying about and educating for true love.

Even though to love and be loved properly is one of life's most daunting challenges =, it is essential more than any other aspect of life people work hard to achieve.

Psychiatrists have been visited by high-powered professional people who break down in their offices because they are at a complete loss when it comes to their most important personal relationships. 

Despite all of their qualifications and accomplishments politicians, business executives and celebrities find that their wealth, power and talent fail when they are faced with the demands of love.

Therefore, to study the true way of life begins with a life lived in true love. Only after people are well-versed in the nature and practices of true love will they find a path to follow that will satisfy the human longing for true love.

The most precious philosophy is to live for the sake of others.

—Sun Myung Moon

For people to live in love, they need to understand it.

It is utterly difficult to define love.

The ancient Greeks divided love into different categories, describing features of each.

For example, 'eros' was an impassioned romantic attraction; 'eunoia' stood for general benevolence or good will; 'xenlike' represented kindness to the guest or stranger; and 'agape' love which defined as an unselfish affection for others. 

Agape love became a keystone of Christianity. It is recognized by all the faiths of the world. Buddhism calls agape love 'compassion', Hinduism and 'human-hearedness' or jen in Confucian thought.

Additionally, there are all kinds of love found within the family:

There is devotion of parents toward their children, the children's affection which is reciprocated. Siblings care about one another in a unique special way, and there is the love between spouses which is a world in itself.

Grandparents have a profound regard for their grandchildren.

All these types of love have their distinct features.

There should be an all-around definition for love that encompasses all types of loves and form.

Reverend Moon states that true love is to live for the sake of other people. Within this definition, love that is not true is weeded out. Love that is deceptive and lead people to despair rather than joy are left out when defining what true love is.

True love is other-centered.

Why was humanity necessary?

We were created to completely fulfill His love. Love is the reason that humanity are the supreme creation.

True love only happens in relationship to others. Even God required an 'other' in order to fulfill His love.

God created humanity as His love partners who will share in the glory of His creation.

Even though God is almighty, He needed an object, someone to share in the creation with. God also needs a relationship in order to experience love fully.

If God is so, so must be His creatures.

As author Sherwood Anderson said, “Two oddly sensitive human atoms” find one another, cling together and think, “Here is this other.”

A love that satisfies is only possible when in the presence of another person. The Bible emphasizes the love others in the presence of others. The Old Testament testifies to the greatest commandments which were to love God and love one's neighbor as one loves themselves.

Jesus echoed this truth by telling his followers to not come to the altar of God if they quarrel with their brother in their heart. They had to set things right between their 'brother' before approaching God.

Jesus later pronounced that God only forgives those who forgives others.

Jesus told his people that when two or more were gathered in his name he would be present. He was implying the need for believers to seek communion not only with God, but with one another as well.

Loving others is always in couplet with loving God well.

The prophet Muhammad stated that on the day of judgment, God the most high will say, “Son of Adam, I was sick and you did not visit Me.” 

The son replied how could he visit the Lord when he was the Lord of the Universe. God replied, “Did you not know that My servant such and such was ill and yet you did not visit him? Did you not know that if you had visited him you would have found Me with him?”

Russian thinker Vladimir Solovyov said that love “forces us with all our being to acknowledge for another the same absolute central significance which, because of the power of our egoism, we are conscious of only in our selves . . . shifting the very center of our personal lives.”

Reverend Moon refers this shifting of center from self to others as a 'revolution'. He holds that such a revolution toward true love is necessary for happiness and peace in the world.

Modern culture says that love is a spontaneous feeling within a person's heart toward one another when in fact, ethics figure prominently in successful and loving relationships.

Upon further examination, it is shown that ethics enable true love and love that is based on feelings alone is dangerous.

If a man feels that he has truly fallen in love with another woman, he will leave his wife and children for her. He will leave emotional devastation in his wake in the pursuit of false feelings.

A teacher may feel that they are romantically attracted to a young student and end up causing psychological damage to the student for life when they approach them sexually.

Psychologist M. Scott Peck points out, “Many, many people possessing a feeling of love and even acting in response to that feeling act in all manner of unloving and destructive ways.”

In order to benefit the other, true love adheres to ethical principles.

Even though a truly loving person does not feel benevolent feelings toward another person, he will behave benevolently to someone based upon principles.

Such a person will be kind to a spouse even when the other is being surly because the person believes in kindness even when the other is not evoking such feelings.

Such a person believes in preserving and protecting marriage itself.

A person who helps a homeless man on the street is a person who believes in treating one's fellow human beings with compassion even if society does not see such a person as reputable.

To love a person who has harmed others means having a belief that all people can be redeemed, including the reprobate.

Return for Tomorrow’s Post: True Love is ...




This post was rewritten and derived from the religious textbook, Educating for True Love, Chapter 1 written by a team of writers to explaining Dr. Rev. Sun Myung Moon's thoughts on morality, society and Family.

We Must Understand Death, Not Fear It

Many people fear death because they do no know where they may end up.

They do not know what to expect on the other side.  Once we are able to have a clear understanding, then we can prepare for life in the coming spirit world.

There is no doubt that the spirit world exists and once we shed our physical bodies, we will go there for eternity.

Since we were born from the spirit world, we must return there.

The meaning of the Korean word toraganda

The Korean word toraganda (literally means to return, to die).  This is interesting.

Where do we return?

Some people literally believe that our final destination is literally to just return to the soil and nothing else is waiting us after death.

Our purpose in life is not to end up in a cemetery as many have come to believe.  Someone who is born in Korea, for example, does not return on that path as one.

Then we return to the original world that brought forth our ancestors.

This means, we will return to the place where the Creator is.  

That is where we came from, so that is where we return.

The universe is always engaged in circular motion.

The snow covering the mountains melt in the spring time and flows down through the small valleys into the ocean and through many streams and rivers.

Later, the flow enters the ocean where it evaporates and returns to complete the cycle once more.

Everything in creation circulates.  When one returns, where do they go?

We all wish to return to a place where we can be higher and better.  No one wants to dwindle and become smaller, however, all the laws of motion in the natural world dictate that everything diminishes through action.

When we roll something, it does not roll for eternity.  First, it rolls rapidly, then decelerates and finally stops.

The place to which we must go

Even though we live in this world, it is not the only world in which we exist.

We also currently live in the spirit world.

Not many understand this outstanding fact. As you are living on earth, you also have a spirit body living within your physical body which also lives in spirit world.

The world of spirit should not have become two separate worlds, they should be integrated.

Then where is the place in which we are to go and finally live?

Everyday where we live physically on earth we are proceeding toward the eternal world.

Ordinarily, people are simply born into this world, pass through their teen years and then reach their prime and enter old age.  This end of one's life is like the setting sun rising on the horizon and settling on the other side.

Those who do know the reality of the spirit world, know that this lifetime is but a breath in comparison to the eternal life after death.

This being said, our lifetime serves to prepare us to welcome the world of eternity, not to settle here forever.

The day we pass on is a precious day

If Adam and Eve were able to follow God, a world of peace would have developed and their family would have set the tradition for that world.

If humanity was able to become a global unified world, then special days such as Adam's birthday, wedding day and the day he returns to the spirit world would have been holidays where humanity would celebrate as a unified brotherhood of one people.

They would have become a people that lived in one world where heaven and earth did not separate because they would have become one with God instead of being banished from heaven.

If this had happened, Adam's family life would have been inherited by all of humanity.  His family would set the tone for the culture formed at that time and we would inherit this tradition eternally.

The spiritual connection of life and death

No matter how hard you try to avoid death or however rich you are, we each will die when our time comes.  People enter the spirit world in different stages.

Some go in their ripe old age, while others die tragic, untimely deaths.

Among the latter are those who die due to punishment or to pay indemnity for their ancestors' or the sins of the people of the world.

For example, if three prominent young people that live in one city die all at once, a good fortune will come to that city.  If three youth who had great promise for the future of one clan die, good fortune will come to that clan.

In other words, indemnity must be paid for past sins in order for humanity to go forward, just like any bank account.

Even though Jesus paved a way for salvation from our sins on the cross, humanity still sin.  Therefore, we must on an individual and societal level pay for these sins and eradicate them from earth once and for all.

This principle applies everywhere and to all.

If God chooses a central figure such as Moses who has the equal value to that of a thousand people, he will let him walk the path of death.

If those thousand people are able to follow him while inspired by his grace and virtue, their entire race will enter the same blessed realm as he.

The reason people try to discover the thoughts of patriots and sages and follow them is to enter the same realm of their blessing.

Last year, several members went to the spirit world. This year, several more will go there. Although I have not talked about it, I know of this already. Why does this happen? Because when we go up one stage, we cannot avoid paying indemnity for past sins. 


Of all the people who have been born on earth, there are those who live with hope and those who live without being able to have hope.

There are two kind of hope: humanistic hope and God-centered hope.

From the first day we are born, we grow up thinking that our mother's bosom are the best thing in the world.

But once we leave her bosom and come to have friends, then we think our friends are the best thing.  Nevertheless, we end up parting even from our friends.

As we grow older, neither loving parents, nor a loving spouse, nor loving children can completely satisfy our hopes.

We all have hopes for many thing, but eventually all those hopes will vanish.

We have hopes for our family, our country, or even the world, however, as we get older, our hopes fade away.

There are many on earth who live with a firm conviction that their entire hope, the hope which they cannot live apart from, is worth losing their lives to bring to fruition.

People are destined to have to fight and go beyond death after living life as it is known.

People entertain all kinds of hope in their lives.

Only, when they face death toward the end and pass away, they abandon all the hopes they had fostered.

They wandered about seeking this hope they cherished, wishing to live today and tomorrow to see it come to fruition.

Once they come upon death, though, all their hopes fade away, then they fall into despair as they see their final path before them.

From a person's own viewpoint, they seem to have hope for a bright future, but they are unable to have a hope which they can go over the summit of death.  They disappear without having such a hope no matter how hard they worked for the cause.

Should we die understanding this pattern of life, or will we seek a hope that lasts where we laugh even in the face of death?  These questions are important for all people on earth to think about these days..

All things of this world will pass away. 

Our families, nations and even the world itself will pass away.  Ideologies and philosophies, too, will pass away.

Then what remains?

It is the hope where we can fight and win over death.  If we are unable to have this hope,  we might see ourselves as failures in life.

If there is a group of people who since their birth, reject all the hopes that satanic, secular people desire including all humanistic wants, and they are able to live embracing heavenly hope, they should not live embracing earthly hope.

They should live dreaming of and cherishing the eternal world of that can conquer even death, not this earthly life which is only a breath in comparison.

Death in relation to the value of life

Those who seek to live do not, those who seek to die seeking the value of life clinging to God while at the crossroads of life and death will not.

The word 'death' invites an understanding of the meaning of life.

Who knows the value of life very well?

In today's world, there are many who end their own lives by taking sleeping pills. Do more women commit suicide or more men?

More women.  Why?

Because women tend to have an one-track mind.

No matter how ugly a man may be, he is able to approach a problem from different perspectives.

Women can only see one way out of a problem, but men avoid death by finding all viable alternatives as a solution.

As such,  they have a lower suicide rate then women.

Death is a process to link three worlds

It is only natural that we want to resemble our Father God.  God also wants us to resemble His characteristics.  This is why we want to resemble God and He wants to take us with Him.

We are searching in the dark looking for a way to make this union possible with God.

Therefore, we must be reborn into a pure body that allows us to resemble God.

Both God and humankind are waiting and hoping for this day of rebirth.

Such a day is necessary.  What day would this be?  It would be the day of one's death.

If the day of death is the day that we resemble God, would this be a day to welcome or a day of sadness?

First, what is the purpose of death?  We die for the sake of True Love.

Originally, God purposed death not for us to live a life of sadness, but as a rebirth to welcome His children to eternally live with Him.

At that time, we discard our physical body in order to participate in God's realm of infinite love.

Our bodies are very limited, but in the spirit there are no limits to how one takes in the experience of God's fullness of love.

We go to spirit world for the sake of God's world of love.

Death is a time of rebirth from the world of air, to the world of love.

But in the world today, we clamor in our death and scream out, "Oh, I'm dying!"

Death is supposed to be the moment you can welcome the joy you feel by being able to leave the realm of limited love and enter the realm of infinite love.

The moment of death, is the moment of your rebirth.

Therefore, God would be joyful about the day of birth from your physical body.

He would react joyfully upon the hour you are born as His true son who is to act with a heart of infinite love in the second world.

You might wonder why I talk about such things that are 'depressing'. You cannot establish a relationship with God without liberating yourself from the fear of death.


Death was not part of the creation in order to bring fear, but to bring His children closer to Him for eternity.  Why do we come to fear such a natural process?  This fear of death came about after we left our heavenly position as God's true children and created hell centered on Satan's will and words.

As humans, we go through three stages: formation, growth and completion.  We begin in the realm of water in our mother's womb, then the realm of air on planet earth, and finally the realm of flying in love in heaven.

The period within the womb is the time the fetus floats in the depths of water.  We draw in and expel this water and live by the cord attached to the stomach.

The fetus is nourished through the navel which functions as a mouth.

We should be disdainful of the navel for taken such pains for us in the past.  If you pat your navel several times, your health will improve.  If you sleep in a cold room, but you cover your navel, you won't get diarrhea.

During the time of the womb, your navel functioned as your mouth and as the breathing organ.

When we are born, we must detach the cord.  In the world of spirit world, we are attached to the physical self, like the embryo which feeds off the physical body.  Therefore, we have two bodies: a spirit body, and a physical body.

As the physical body grows old, the spirit self comes out and eventually discards the physical body.

When we are about to be born, we become the object of love of the mother and father.  Likewise, the spirit self must be reborn as a person who can relate to God who is our spiritual True Father.

This is in accordance with fundamental principles and laws.

The earthly world is where the embryo can become friends with its father and mother after it is born.

We are born on the earthly plane and share love with our mother and father.

Likewise, when we are born in the spirit world, there we can share love with God, the Parent by whom we connect ourselves with the infinite world.

Those who did not live a life connected to God while on earth will find it hard to breathe the air of love in the spirit world.

We go through a period of water, the period of land and finally settle in the period of flying.

How many thousands of years have people longed for the time we would see a human fly?  Such a person would be the world's greatest attraction.

Those who breathe in love on the earth are not dead but alive. 

Once we abandon the placenta which is connected to the navel, we are born to a new, higher dimensional world.

Air is supplied on this larger plane.  We come out and immediately receive a supply of air.  Even a baby screams at leaving the comfortable world of water into an unknown world.  Just the same we fear the unknown world that lays before us.

Then what will you develop after coming out of the womb?  It is not air, but love you receive elements of love.

Therefore, you should not just live your life for eating, that is the way of death.

When you just live to eat and drink and sustain that kind of living, it is only living for the sake filling a bag, a water bag in your physical body.

This kind of living is part of being on the path of death.  It is a secondary existence.

Then what should your life be filled with?

It is not air but love; you receive elements of love while on earth. 

You must form a character of love during your period of growth.

What everyone on earth needs is love, just like the Beatles song.  Why is a child who does not live with parental love called an orphan?

Because he is unable to receive the love that will enable him to be eternally be connected to the next world of love.

Therefore, those who are unmarried people who live on alone are pitiful.

Death means to inherit the elements of love after the destruction of the physical organ through which the body has engaged in breathing through the secondary type of respiratory organ.

Love is invisible.

Just as an embryo is required to grow in order to be normal in the womb, the baby must grow properly once he is born on the earth, as God's laws require.

His internal self will develop based on the parental love they receive and then the conjugal love of their spouse once they have matured into adulthood.

There are many insects that go through three stages in life.

The dragonfly develops in water during their larval stage at first but then they creep on the earth and then fly.
They are then able to prey on bugs that they would have never been able to imagine eating before they had reached that stage.

They are able to flutter freely throughout the universe which they think is their stage.

Insects have wings in general and go through life in the water, on land and in the air.  This time period of swimming in the womb is equal to the time period as humans.

We as humans are supposed to be the lords over creation, but we do not have wings.

Once we pass through the stage of water in the womb, grow during the period of air on the earth, we will receive a set of wings of a higher dimension.

God gave death as the blessed gateway to our second birth.

What is the true meaning of death?

Earthly life, which is the time of living in air, parallels to the time we were once living in the womb.

We are currently living in a wrapping cloth of air.

Death itself is not unique, but only our rebirth into the third life is, because that is the time of transition in which we call death.

 

Return for Tomorrow's Post: What To Leave Behind After Death

This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook Cheon Seong Gyeong Book Five, chapter two, section 1

 

Does God Exist Part II

Everyone deserves happiness, just for the simple fact we are all born human.

The human body is composed of many different kinds of cells. Also the different races of man can be represented in the cells of one body. An example would be the cells in the whites of the eyes, representing white people.

Our body is composed of many different kinds of cells.  If we look at humanity as a whole, we can view the different races of man represented in the cells of one body.

For example, the cells of the whites of the eyes can represent white people.  The dark cells on the sole of the foot might represent "black" people.  Every person is simply in a different location making up one body.  Can one proclaim that the cells of the whites of the eye are more superior than the cells in the sole of the foot?

All human cells are equally valuable, working for the same purpose and serving a joint will. 

A husband and wife are like two cells that are next to each other and have great, close give and take. They virtually become one living cell through their interactions.  From this universal point-of-view, all human beings are equal then.

As humans, we are each born with a common nature among ourselves which belongs to the same universal consciousness.  Among the billions of human 'cells', there must be something that can harmonize and bring the people together peacefully.

Harmonization between the different peoples, nations and organizations in the world can only come through one source.  That is the through the power of love.

The power of love is like a thread between every cell making smoothness and harmony. 

In this way, love becomes a glue, binding and cementing together all the cells of humanity.

This is why love has a universal quality and is good.  When love is in action it is ultimate.  Therefore, without love, everything falls apart.

Love has the power to unite subject and object, and mind and body together.  Without love, the interaction between a subject and object is very clumsy.

Let's look at this in real-world context.  The communist countries believes in unity, but they believe in doing so through force and the lesser sacrificing for an greater, evil cause.  A teacher is subject to a student, but without love the interaction of education is less effective.

Through the power of love, we are able to experience total freedom of action and freedom of movement between all the four directions.

In a way love is a shocking intoxication which can make everybody drunk. 

Anyone who has been caught up in the action of true love knows the power.

That is why love is good.  We can achieve a high which comes from drugs or alcohol, but this is merely artificial and a momentary intoxication.  After a while the user gains a certain tolerance for the drug and must acquire more dosage just to obtain the same effect.

Love does not have a fading quality and through more give and take between subject and object love only becomes greater and larger.

This power of love differs between individuals which pulls them together.  Men love women and women love men.

Through this interaction of love, there is no way anyone can stay dulled.  This interaction is like connecting an electric circuit.

One becomes totally electrified through love. 

Love goes to the nucleus, because once the nucleus is activated, the whole self becomes excited.  Once love comes to the center, then the whole body is activated.

True man is the center of true love.  This true love will turn you on and true love will turn you on truly.  If one wants to pursue this kind of true love action, he must first recognize the nucleus first.

Love first goes to the nucleus which turns on every cell.  Thus, in order to fulfill true love action, we must first recognize the existence of the nucleus, the center.

Within existence, the internal character, the nucleus, is created.

Love must first go through the nucleus turning on every cell. Therefore. in order to fulfill and consummate love, we first have to recognize the existence of the nucleus, the center.

When we are pursuing ideals we must recognize the nucleus.  Consciousness comes first, will, ideal and thought come before there was anything material.

A true man is a person who realizes true love.  Without true love we cannot think of a true man.

Therefore, dictators of Communism who base their philosophy on materialism, can never become a true man leading a true nation without exhibiting love for the whole.

An ideal world will not come until we can become true men and women with true love.  

To become a true man, you must connect with the truth of the universe.

This person then becomes like a magnet pulling all things from all directions.  Then he has a relationship with the rest of the world.

This interaction of true love explains God very plainly and beautifully.

God can be explained as the center and nucleus of true love.  He is not separate from it.

God also has a personality.

Since God is a personal God, I have a relationship with Him as my personal God.  In this way, I can become one with the universe.  As you can see, we cannot talk about unification if we do not have this core of the love of God.

God is the subject of  love.

He spreads out His wings, which all of His creation can gather in His embrace.  Through this force of His love, all of creation in the universe is pulled towards Him as if by a magnet.

Why do we exist?

We exist for the fulfillment of love.

Through this love, we become a perfect object before the perfect subject.  If we see the universal circle, God would be the center where the nucleus, God's will and love exist.

God's love radiates in all directions, all 360 degrees.

The amazing fact is that if God does not have His object mankind, He cannot fulfill His ideal and goal of love.  Yes, even though God is almighty, if He is not able to interact with true love with His object, man, then He cannot feel love.  In this light, your existence is indispensable in the sight of God.

Love is a magnetic force. 

Once you recognize love, you are immediately pulled towards it.


Your eyes become crazy at the sight of love; your nose becomes excited at the smell of love. In other words, love turns your eyes on. it turns your nose on, it turns your ears on. But usually when people talk about love they only talk about horizontal love between men and women. However. that is not the ultimate love which we are talking about. We are talking about the love which connects us to the nucleus center, God, and the true love of God.


Our ultimate goal in life is that central nucleus of love.

If we were created to just go to work and chase money all day, then love would not be necessary and every person who obtains a successful career would automatically be happy.  Instead, without love in our daily lives, people feel, incomplete trying to fill up the hole within them.

In order to ultimately reach the center of love, we need the horizontal love between the husband and wife.  This is why the love between the husband and wife is precious, since it brings unity into a relationship with that universal love.

The ultimate purpose of life is a living relationship with the nucleus, which is God. 

We have to love as husband and wife in order to link up with that nucleus of love.

The Divine Principle, which this blog is based upon, speaks about the universal prime force that has the power to link you to the central nucleus of love.

This is how the universe was created and has been developing.

The essence of love comes through the center and touches all the substances of phenomena.  People may ask you to prove this because they cannot see this interaction.



"You can use the analogy which I use all the time, the eye: who created the eye? Your father had an eye, your grandfather had an eye, your great-grandfather and so on. Somewhere in your family tree, there must have been a first eye somewhere.

Do you think that particular eye must have thought, 'I want to be this shape, this color?'

Maybe the first eye was such a genius that it designed itself, thinking, 'I must be capable of turning. I will be very sensitive, so I need some kind of covering. There might be water coming down, so I need an eyebrow to divert it.  Maybe there will be dust in the air, so I need eyelashes.'

Do you think the eye recognized that it would be living in an atmosphere with dust so it would need eyelashes?

The eye must have been designed by someone who realized that the eye was going to be functioning in this particular atmosphere.

But whether by its own will or not, the eye is designed in such a way to adjust to an atmosphere where there is wind and rain and dust. Do you think the eye could have calculated all that?

What about the tail of a cow out in the pasture?  Did it just have knowledge that the cow would need to swat at flies all day?

If it didn't, there must be some other will which knows more than the eye, which designed everything for the eye.

There must be some consciousness in the universe which already knew that moisture would evaporate from the surface of the eye, so there had to be some liquid which would lubricate the surface. Do you think the eye knew all that and determined everything?

Thus before the creation of the eye. there was a will. a consciousness, and a purpose which determined exactly the environment in which the eye would be functioning and how the eye should be made.

Do you recognize that there must have been such a will before existence?

In my student days, there was a lot of discussion about God and my opponents said, 'There is no God. Existence came first; I believe in evolution.'

I would counter such arguments. When I got to the eye argument and used these analogies, everyone would surrender.

Why is there hair inside your nostrils and ears?

Somebody thought this out. In other words, there is some universal mind or consciousness capable of figuring out things in advance and making a blueprint in order to coordinate everything." SMM



Even with this incredible evidence of man being created through careful planning, some will still shout out 'No, everything was created by accident."  Do you accept this argument?

Before any complex object is made, coordination and planning is done beforehand, or thought comes before matter can into existence.

Thought comes before everything.

True love being fulfilled is the purpose of thoughts.  We have truly penetrated to the depths of this universal truth.  This is a joy!

Where does our true existence come from?

God's ideal is the universal subject; the center of that ideal is true love. The purpose of creation is the fulfillment of true love.

Therefore, God designed everything under this plan for the fulfillment of love. This is why men and women are designed and this is why we were created.

This is our true purpose in life.  Once humanity recognizes the simple fact we were born to give love, then all major problems caused through selfishness will breed a world of peace automatically.

Why is it natural for a man to be attracted to women?

Because this is the step to reach the ideal of love.  It is the same reason women are attracted to men.  It is the inevitable step in the search for the ideal of love.

Those who have animalistic behavior of marrying and divorcing, freely moving from one person to the next has no way to connect to the eternal nature of the love of God.

Everything God has created is based upon the eternal quality of love. 

Some people live just to have physical love, love which is temporary and ''just for fun".  They use their bodies just to obtain false love.

This is catastrophic and is infesting the whole world in this tragedy.  This catastrophic lower-level, love should be removed from mankind.

If you had a choice, would you choose to have just temporary love or eternal love?

Everyone wants eternal love.

You can connect to that center through eternal love.  Therefore, only love remains throughout eternity.  Your physical body does not last for eternity, but love endures through all times.

Have you noticed that the masterpieces of literature that lasted throughout history has been about love?

We are not the by products of an evolutionary automatic process, but we are created beings and ideal creatures harmonized with all creation.  Isn't that fact better than being the sons of monkeys.

Wouldn't you rather be the children of God? Why?

If you are to be linked directly to the monkey, you would be linked to a being that does not know true love, but only physical love.

Does anyone go visit the monkeys at the zoo and bow down to them thanking them for being their ancestors?

So why do we teach that we are their direct descendants?  Just because we have similar characteristics?

It is clear now that the origin of all existence is thought and mind.

The universe is heading toward the fulfillment of true love.

God is the subject that wants to fulfill this ideal of love throughout the universe.  Not monkeys.  This is not superstition or mystical facts.  No one can deny the fact that we are reaching together toward God.

We must recognize that we need a subject that is greater than ourselves in thought to which we can all relate as humans.  Isn't this the solution to all of man's desires and problems that are in the world?

Man has used philosophy and all forms of thought outside God to come up with solutions to man's problems, to no avail.

Therefore we must pray to God, believe in God, know God and be a part of God.  This must be our way of thinking.  God is the subject and we are His objects.  We can be thought of as  God's cells in His universal body.

When we truly become God's objects, we unite in an inseparable relationship.

You cannot have a better life than a relationship with God.  When you unite yourself with the subject, you fulfill the ideal aspiration that all men have in common for the greatest goodness.

This nobility of goodness and the fulfillment of highest virtue can only come through the fulfillment of love. 

What is your answer now, is there a God or not?

Persecution of Home church

Home church is witnessing to 360 homes in your area and bringing them to the The Completed Testament and the true way of life. This way their families can join in the dispensation of the new era of Heaven on Earth upon the work of the Messiah of the Second Coming.

Your ultimate destination is God's heart, and home church is your grammar school.  

When you accomplish this, you will have finished grade school level.  Then, when you bring America to the truth, you will have finished high school.

When the communist world tags along, you will have an MA.  When all of spirit world is reorganized, you will have a Ph. D.  After you finish your work in home church, everything that follows after is easy.  It will take just a few hours of work.

First, you must lay the foundation.

Before, we were persecuted in the past when we did this work.  Now, we must work in a wide area and stir up people.  We are sowing seeds in various places.  These seeds will be harvested one day.

This harvest belongs to the world.

You have a definite area in which your seeds will grow and can harvest as your own.  You do home church for yourself, because you need a foundation on which to stand for your family.  Home church does this.

God has been collecting all of the blessings accumulated from the persecution of His faithful children.  So, even though you are persecuted, we are harvesting the seeds we sow now.  This work is worth doing.

Where do you sow your seeds?

You sow seeds everywhere you can.  If you follow the providence of restoration led by the Messiah and like him, then  your home church people will like you and want to go everywhere you go.  You become the ancestor of a new tribe.

We have always been aware that God is a God of love, but now we understand clearly why God allows His people to be persecuted through yesterday's post.

Persecution is not for just your own sake. Now that we understand the standard of liberation through suffering and persecution, we have to run even faster.

We need to educate people what type of world this should be and the kind of work God has been building throughout history.  Now that you have been educated on these principles, you can discern who are the good and bad leaders and educate them with this same content.

You are living in a great time built upon the sacrifices of millions of saints and people of faith.  Even if you were to stumble along the way, when  you look up, you will see that you still have gained fruit from all of your work and effort.

You have to have strong determination.  Wherever you go doing this heavenly work, you will be followed by spirits of the Old Testament.

Without working through you on earth, they are not able to get anywhere.

You are also the resurrection of the New Testament spirits and all of the worthy people in spirit world.  You are the key to their liberation and they must follow you.

God is charmed by you.

No one will be able to bother you wherever you go.

Even if your path were to end in death, or to happiness you will be able to go toward persecution happily because you go voluntarily knowing you are not only liberating fallen history but God's sorrow.

If you go this way, because someone forces you and chases you down, then you will not be a victor.  If all of America was to persecute you because they do not understand, yet you still go this way, then victory is ahead.

Do you feel happy or powerless as you go this true way of life?

You mostly feel powerless.  When you are witnessing and working for the mission, you should not feel like a loser who does this work, but a king.

When I found myself in prison, I felt I was king of all the prisoners and everyone would come under me. Now you have a reason to feel that.  Who would God love, a person like me or like you? Father and son should be the same, not different. 


Now you have knowledge how this dispensation of restoration works, are you really going to go this way now?  Grit your teeth and determine you are going to do this for future generations.
