Utopia is Possible

I have investigated during my entire life the best way to accomplish the ideal, and there is one unfailing formula: that of sacrifice, suffering and receiving persecution for the sake of goodness, and serving others with true love.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon



What do you believe is the ideal world?

The ideal world is a world or Utopia is where you can go anywhere in the universe freely, without any blocks or barriers.  This is including national and racial boundaries.

There is no person so contented with himself that can resist a person who brings true love to him.

Whether they are white, black or yellow, or atheists or communists, all people are attracted to the person who is genuinely trying to sacrifice himself for their sake.

Thus, total freedom comes to such a person.

These are satanic characteristics: jealousy, arrogance, self-promotion, and sacrifice of the whole purpose just for one's sake.

The "I" viewpoint is the center of the satanic mentality. 

This viewpoint, however, will never bring a person total happiness.  Such a person finds himself alone and rejected by everyone, including his own spouse and family.

Clearly, then you can see that God's way is superior to Satan's way.

Even the most selfish person wants to see a kind of Utopia, but the road to that ideal is only brought about through a  life of service and sacrifice for the sake of others.  The true ideal will never be achieved in a dreamy, unrealistic way.

The principle of service and sacrifice will never change.  The past, present and the future are within its realm.

Not just this world, but the spirit world is also guided by this principle.  Therefore, you cannot just work diligently in your home church area with an attitude that you just wait to earn your certificate to go to Heaven.

The purpose of Home Church is to send the people there to Heaven first.

In that way, you go to Heaven yourself.  Only having an attitude of true love can enable you to do this.   You should desire to pass along the blessings you have received along this pathway.

You then are able to achieve victory through the heart of sacrifice and service and true love.  This is the Principle.

Few know the fact that we must first be welcomed on earth before we are welcomed in the spirit world.  Therefore, the statement, whatever is loosed on earth is loosed in heaven.  We must do the work of restoration here on earth.

To do this work in spirit world takes thousands of years.


If you went to spirit world right now, you would know that what I am saying is absolutely true. People can serve God in many ways; perhaps a great architect might dedicate a beautiful building to God.  But when you dedicate yourself to working in your home church area, that is the offering God is most eager to accept at this time. 


The greatest pain God suffered was when He lost Adam and Eve through the fall.  Therefore, God's greatest joy comes when you offer your Home Church of witnessing constantly to 360 homes in your area back to Him.

Through your work of home church, you are restoring yourself back to the position of Adam and Eve before the Fall.

It may seem small to you when you are witnessing, but it has the greatest meaning of all to God.

From this time forward, true family trees of goodness will begin. 

By restoring your family back to the original position, your name will be at the top of the family tree and from that point, your new family history will begin.  To bring the ideal in a tangible way has never been presented before in history.

You, certainly, must have a plan before you go for the goal based upon valid reasoning and the confidence to carry it out.

Now that you have a strong and clear understanding of how restoration works, you will encounter stronger opposition from the people wherever you go.

This opposition will be short-lived and  you will be able to accomplish the same level of restoration as the Messiah did in a much shorter time.

We must head forward toward that goal of restoration; it is truly all that matters.  Of course tending to your family matters and your children are important, but the most significance is home church work in God's dispensation.

You must do this work of Home Church to receive the free pass to Heaven.  If if you do home church all of your life and you were not able to marry, once you go into spirit world, you would be would be able to go to Heaven.


I want to teach you all the things you need to know to get to Heaven; I don't want you to blame me later. No one can force you to do home church. God would like to take you to Heaven regardless of what you do, but Satan will not let you go without some condition.


Therefore, let us all move forward together in unity to the total completion of God's ideal world.

Since you recognize the Messiah in this age and are connected to him, you are related to him.  Even though we all look different - some of us are blond, some have dark hair and others black hair - every part of you is related to the Messiah.

Now, that you understand the importance of Home Church, please raise your hand if you are determined to do it.  God Bless you.




Return for Tomorrow's Post:  Even Evil People Want to Possess Good

This speech was rewritten and given by Reverend Sun Myung Moon based upon the Completed Testament caled the Divine Principle which reveals the truth of the Bible from God's point of view.

Love Your Enemy = Nations Loving Nation

We all heard of the idea to love our enemy from many saints, religious leaders and prophets. Why did God make efforts to teach us that loving our enemy is important? Satan says to God, "In order for You to be God, You must always maintain the standard of ideal, eternal love."

 God replies, "Yes, that is true." Then Satan says, "God, when You made me the archangel, did You do so just in order to love me temporarily, or to love me forever?" And God says, "Forever." If God loved only temporarily, then He would be like Satan. By the same token, if one has no standard of loving forever, he cannot show God's dignity to Satan. In order for God to be God, He must love Satan no matter how much Satan is opposed to Him.

Satan says, "I fell and became evil, but You who are good can never change, and You can never do the things I do. I enjoy attacking and fighting, but You hate fighting. You must be silent even if You are beaten." Hence, God cannot forcibly resist Satan's aggression. Why? God cannot crush Satan just like that. He must love him unchangingly so that Satan will finally come to say, "Oh, indeed You are God. I surrender to You."


Centered on True Love

No matter how much suffering you may have to experience, you have to love the archangel and even your worst enemy who attacks you daily until the ideal of heaven is completely established in this world. God's hands are tied by that demand. As you go on your way to the Heavenly Kingdom, Satan will test you. Just as God must love Satan and let Satan surrender to Him in that way, so should God's children love the archangel if they want to go to the Heavenly Kingdom.

How much love would that take?

Jesus demonstrated this exact act through his words and finally through his actions when he was spat upon, kicked, tortured on his way to the cross.  Jesus did not have one moment of revengeful thought or hate as he went on his wretched walk to the cross.  He then was ridiculed to the end as he told God to forgive the lost for they did not have any way to overcome being dominated by Satan and I give my body in place of their way to be freed from him.

Even though you are persecuted by all of this world, which is the realm of the enemy, you must love the evildoer with your whole heart. That is the condition you have to fulfill.

God is most concerned about that condition.  Those people who are striving to be God's children should also be most concerned about it. This standard of loving might appear simple, but it is the very boundary line between God and Satan. No one has fully understood this before. In order to go beyond this boundary, God cannot even regard His enemy as an enemy, and He must not take revenge.

The conclusion for us is to love our enemy. When Jesus prayed for those people who were killing him, it was the greatest victory. If he had hated his enemies when he was about to die, then the providence of God would not have been successful.

But as Jesus overcame his difficulties through love, Satan began surrendering, thus Jesus obtained the qualification of God's perfected child. You have to come to the point where you are able to say, "Satan, don't you agree that I am a child of God?" and have Satan concede, "Yes, that's true."

You must be able to say confidently, "I'm following God's direction, expanding His sphere of love from the individual level through the family, clan and nation, to the worldwide level. You have no objection to that. Right, Satan?" And Satan must say, "I have to agree with you because it's the Principle."

In this way the individual spreads this type of altruistic love to the family and children, then to the society and to the nation.  Nations with citizens who love like this will love other nations as they global brothers and sisters.

This is the way God has proceeded with His dispensation, centering upon Christianity. It has been the path of sacrifice and martyrdom and, through its bloody history, Christianity has been a movement to expand God's love to the family level, the societal level, the national level, all the way to the worldwide level. Through the standard of Christian love, which loves the enemy, enemy nations can be conquered; the enemy is won over.
