God and Humans Relate as Parent and Child

When you think of all of the bonds of relationships, the highest relationship is that of parent and child which is established between God and human beings.

No being can undermine the authority of the heart coming from this bond which is eternal, unchanging, and unique.

This heart's authority is absolute.  Therefore, if you move forth with this authority, all existing beings will bow their heads before you.

Also, when you move with this authority of heart, the entire universe must follow you.  This is an ironclad rule of the universe.

When we establish families which God and humankind unite with, God regards such families as His ideal which He desired with Adam's family and at the time of creation.

Such families are centered on a true and great love where God also can relate with each member in love and become one with people.  If our ancestors had established these ideal families, today we would be living in the Kingdom of Heaven without the worry of hell or sin which would never have been created by the perfected humanity.


Q: Where is the highest place a father and son can meet?

That meeting place will be in the center where their love, lives and ideal intersect and unite.  Then love, life and ideals are in one place where God is love, and so are we.  God is life, and so are we.  God is ideal, and so are we.

Where the parent-child relationship is established is the first bond and first place of unity that determine this.

Love cannot be excluded from the basis of one body between father and son.  Between father and son, love, life and lineage must always be connected there.These factors are essential, and must always be connected there.

When you exert your mind, express your devotion for the Father's will and live for its sake, you can endure even the most excruciating pain that melts the flesh and bone.  When you are able to do this in order to win victory, you are able to restore the parent-child relationship with God

If you were to have a choice of the highest place to receive God's love, where would that position be?

Would the highest position be that of a servant?  The highest position would be in the position of son or the position of daughter.

Did you ever think whether God exudes emotions.  Undoubtedly, they are heavenly emotions.  We have human emotions.

The place where the Absolute Being and human beings long for is the place where we can share love in the position of a son or a daughter centering on a parent.

Originally, Adam and Eve should have combined the greatest joy, energy and even demonstrated the power of teh ideals of all creation with their union.  In such a place, the flower of Eve should bloom where love's fragrance would have overflowed into the universe.

God dreamed of such a love would blossom in which He could gaze at that flower, smell its fragrance and be enraptured with it.

When both Adam and God become one and are overflowing with love, Adam can thus become God.  This sounds like blasphemy, but wouldn't God want His object to eventually mature to have the same quality?  Do we even as humans want an object partner that is greater than we?  This is why God gave us free will instead of dictating that we love and follow Him, so we too can continually grow and be co-creators of creation.

When Adam was to become completely one with God through love, God would dwell inside of Adam eternally.

We have come accustomed to saying that God is within us and is part of us, but truly, when we are full of sin and performing acts which God cannot partake, He must leave us substantially, not in heart.

The Bible states, "Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?" We are God's temple.

You should realize that God exists near you and is concerned about each of you more than anyone that exists.  Because we are in close proximity with others, people believe that the love their family has is the greatest in this world.  However, we should know that God's love is greater and deeper than that love - than any human love in this world.

You should be embraced in God's love and he able to call Him, "Father." 

You each should become such true sons and daughters who are able to deeply experience God's internal heart from the position of saying, "I know Father's sorrow."

If you are able to become such children of God, and posse the Kingdom of Heaven in which you attend God, there is no one who would be able to take that kingdom away from you.  Through logic, when a father and son unite based on love, the father's possessions become the son's and likewise, the husband's belongings become the wife's possessions.

When centering on love, the right of inheritance is guaranteed for eternity.

If you are able to become a true son or daughter who has established the bond of love as the object partners of God's true love, then God's body will become you body, His love will become your love, and everything He created will become yours.  Therefore, within each human, we each have the desire of our original mind to have dominion over the created universe.  From God's point, this was His gift He distributed equally to humankind, the gift that lets you hold the authority to possess the universe as God's sons and daughters.

Living a Life of Oneness

All religions have the common basis of teaching people to look at, listen to, speak to or treat people with care.

This means that you should do everything - look, listen, talk, feel and love - all entered on God.  You should not do so centered on yourself.

When you are happy as people who attend God, how happy do you think this will make God?  When you attend Him, have you ever done so with such gratitude that is greater than the feelings you have after you take your first bite when you are utterly hungry?

We should always feel grateful to God when we eat or wear something that is nice, even when we are sad or facing much difficulties.  It is during these times, we should leave behind good circumstances that can be remembered in God's mind.

My awareness, intuition, and even my sensory organs all belong to the Father. This view must be established that what you feel and perceive all belongs to the Father. You should know clearly that when this is not the case, the Father, who moves in accordance with heart, cannot belong to you.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon





Humans were all created to become one with God in heart.  God as the Father and human beings as the children are supposed to be connected through the heart.

Therefore, everything that we speak, feel, see and perceive through emotions must all be connected to God.  If each individual was to live this way, many social problems would melt away and we would experience heaven on earth quickly.

Because humanity feels such a disconnect from Heavenly Father or feel that His word is too hard to achieve, people have become self-centered leaving God's idea behind.

Living with God should be evident when you are talking and when you are moving about.  You should live a life of attendance whether you are sleeping or awake.  If you are able to live and think to this standard way for twenty-four hours a day, Satan will not be able to invade you.

Live in Attendance to God, Messiah

You should live in attendance to God and True Parents.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon



Offer your first words to Heaven after rising from your bed in the morning.

When you take your first steps outside the home, you should step with your right foot first, dedicating your first steps to Heaven.

Think of it as graduating from a fallen lifestyle which the world glorifies, to a life centered on God.

If you are able to develop such habits, then your life will become a life of attendance.  When we look from this viewpoint, we see the importance of living our every moment in daily attendance to the Father above.

After we have risen for and prepared for the morning, all of our feelings and actions must be unified into a straight line for the course of the day, centering on one goal.

Who can deny that when we lose focus, we will not be able to connect to His will for our day?

Heaven is where you can take pride in your life of attendance.

With this kind of standard with our thoughts and foot set on heaven at the beginning of the day, what kind of person can enter heaven?

Heaven is not the place for those who are only expecting to receive blessings based on the simple fact that they believe in the Lord.

The Unification Church has a belief that Jesus has returned working through the body of Reverend Sun Myung Moon who is the Second Coming.  Even if the whole world was to believe that Reverend Moon was the Messiah, just based  on this faith alone they will not be able to enter heaven.  The Bible states that faith without works is dead.

Q: Who is heaven prepared for?

Heaven is made for those who have prepared their hearts on earth in order to attend Heavenly Parent and His Will.  Such people leave a life behind on earth full of attendance and joyfully move on, even though they may die in the process for the cause.  This is where resurrection is found.





Now, we three -- God, True Parents and you -- must become one.








We have to act in concert to this principle.

All three entities must unite at the point where they come together.  This realm of resurrection is the connecting point where oneness comes, where True Parents and you become one and unite together.
Since this is a decisive question of life and death, all three must unite at the point where they come together.

Therefore, your life should be a life of oneness in line with God's Will.

Within a 24-hour period, you should look, listen to all things for the sake of God.  This principle excludes the world's viewpoint of living for oneself.

Even though our feet are planted here on earth, we have to be connected with life in the heavenly world and live that way.

If you are unable to yearn for God every day, you cannot attend Him.  When you yearn for someone, you should always be immersed in longing.  It concerns God when we say that it is already midnight and it is time to go to bed, because the Kingdom of Heaven does not have a concept of day or night.  Night poses no difficulty when you are living and embracing centering on an unified heart.

In the original world or homeland God had plan, as a rule we were to live, think and love centered on ourselves only AFTER we had attained oneness with God.  We should know this clearly.  Therefore in the originally world, thinking, loving and centering on ourselves would not be selfish or a sin, because we would have centered all of these actions on God.

The extent that you have devoted yourself on earth to attending Heavenly Father will become your asset.

We should each become the sons and daughters who  are able to receive a response after calling for the Father from the situation of having created a valley of tears.  When you call out, "Father", He should reply, "Yes, I am here,"


When you are able to call out to Heavenly Father from a place of piercing pain, shedding blood, sweat and tears, He will reply, "I have endured, so you can, too."  The question then, is how much can you attend the Father, how much can you consult with Him in your pain and live with Him in such situation.

Even if you were to call out to Father from a place o self-centered glory, it would not matter because God has not seen His day of glory.

Seriously think about this: when you are hungry, for whom do you eat?  If you were to say "Oh, I'm Hungry...food, food, food!", you should feel that you are eating for God.  Why should you do this?

It is because you have become a holy temple of God and you should think as God's holy temple, "When I am hungry, God is inside of me telling me to eat."  If you are able to eat in this way, that meal will become a sacred and holy meal.



Establishing a heavenly life through attendance
No matter how much humanity squabbles over if God exists or not, He is not a fantasy or a conceptual God.  Nor is Heavenly parent an abstract God.





With His leadership in our daily life, He is always with us as the master of our daily circumstances.








He does not just receive our attendance, but He lives with us together by sharing love.  This is God's dream for humanity.

If we do not make a beginning point where God is able to enter our mind, and where we are able to become completely one body with God, then there is no way to liquidate the devil's world.

When we are able to look from this higher viewpoint, we then understand that this is the time of the age of attendance as the age of salvation by justification through attendance.


We are saved through attendance.






Christianity has been taught that God is a god that is way up in the sky far removed from creation or humanity.  We should be able to attend God as the master in our daily life.

There is custom in society to glorify those in a higher position such as celebrities even calling them idols, but we should be careful to keep God as the master.

How many times during the day are you aware that God exists?

How many times in a 24-hour period do you feel God’s presence?

Normally, people of faith will attend God during Saturday or Sunday service and the rest of the week will be devoted to work or family.

How is it possible to be truly saved through attendance and attend God through only two hours a week, or even two hours in a day?

How do you attend God?  You should attend Him in your daily activities and with your whole heart.

The problem we face now is how to create a new tradition from the standard of attendance that God wants from the individual, family, church, this nation and this people.

We should feel to the depth of our bones that God is something that you need more desperately then you need air and even more than you need water.

God is more precious than your meals. Yet, do you really feel this?

From now on we should live a life of attendance.  Up until now, salvation has been through faith, but we should attain salvation through attending God in our daily lives.  Originally, if humankind had not left their position we would have followed God’s normal path of attending Him from the beginning.

Even as people of faith who welcome the hope of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth we have not fully welcomed a Kingdom of Heaven where we attend and practiced the words of God.  We have not become aware in our daily lives of God as our subject partner.

What is the purpose of people of faith suffering for six thousands of years if we do not have the hope that God’s original ideal will bear fruit?

We continue to fight for the sake of understanding God’s circumstances He encounter due to our disobedience in the beginning.  Also, to understand His deep heart as the Bible demonstrated and understand that God relates to all peoples of different ethnic groups and nations with a parental heart.

We should understand that God has been wounded, trampled upon and rejected and torn to pieces whenever we choose to not believe in His Will or His words.

We are living in the Completed Testament Age which is the age of love.  Therefore we are able to marry.  Throughout history, higher-level religions highlighted the need for celibacy and solitude and forego marriage because love was not yet sanctified until now.

With the Second Coming, love has been restored and God’s history of pain and true heart full of emotion is being taught for the first time in human history.

God is the center of the universe.  So, when you go near Him, you also want to be governed by Him for even tens of thousands of years and even longer.  This is the way to attend God.  There is no greater happiness.

Why do we seek justification through faith, works and attendance?

If we are not justified, we will not be able to distinguish what is the true standard of the good world and the evil world.  Then the two worlds would not be separated, therefore we need these standards.

Q: What is the standard of righteousness?  It is God and what He believes how He works and attends is the set standard.

Why do you think you cannot accuse righteous people who resemble God?
Satan will not be able to intervene in your works if you create an environment where God’s faith, works and standard live through you.

Even if you were to live within the satanic realm or environment, if you were to establish a righteous standard that enables you to be with God even in that low place, Satan will withdraw from there.

After the Old Testament Age where we could restore through work and the New Testament Age of restoring through faith to our original position there is more that remains after this Completed Testament Age of attendance.

Even in this age, we need to do works, have faith and we also need to lead a life of attendance.
This completes the three stages: formation, growth and completion which cannot be separated.


In the Unification Church, it states that salvation comes through attendance. It is justification through attendance; in other words, salvation through attendance. When men buy suits for each season, they should be doing that for Father as well. Moreover, since He does not have a body, they should combine a monetary offering with their devotion instead.

During these seasons, they should make an offering in the donation box for the sake of the church, with a tearful heart of attending God, regardless of whether anyone is watching. If they can do so, that devotion will accumulate in the Ark of the Covenant. This way of living should be real and expressed; not remain only as a concept.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon




Why should we live a life of attendance? It is to receive God's law.




Up until now, living a life based on faith brought salvation on the spiritual level.  From now on, you attain salvation through attendance. This would have been the normal path of attending God which we would have learn from our perfected, unfallen parents or true parents.

Everything can be restored through leading a life of attendance.


Since the Second Coming, we have passed into the age of the parents.  We are paving the road whereby God can be actually present on earth.   This is why we are able to be saved through attending him when He comes.

Even though we are entering the realm of attendance and bringing about the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, there is only a certain standard we should develop in order to join such an extraordinary age.
We must posses the heart which can understand and comfort a sorrowful God and to experience together with Him His painful circumstances in having devoted Himself and to be rejected by His children.

The principles of restoration reveal this and teach humanity how we are able to set indemnity conditions or restore our individual, family and world sinful history in front of God.
Why is it necessary to live a life of attendance?

We do so in order to receive God’s love.

We see in the world today, many people searching and looking for ways to find love and happiness.  All of these options are not only temporary, but they are without God leaving individuals and the world empty trying to fill a hole only God can fill.

For this reason, we should serve God first.  We should, therefore, attend Him.

Breaking heavenly laws displeases God.

Those who are parents have more of a capacity to understand God’s heart creation and His parental heart in watching His children.

Just as a human father places rules for his own children’s protection, there are laws in attending God.  We must know how to obey these laws in our daily lives.

Heaven demands that you must keep Heaven's ways.

It is not enough just to know Heaven’s ways and laws, but we must live Heaven’s ways.  We must become one with Heaven’s love.

Any person that is able to discern when God is happy or sad would not be able to become evil even if He tried?  Such a person would not be able to go against the law of heaven even if he tried.
This person would never be able to give into the temptation to a beautiful woman and go against God.  He would not be able to be drawn in to something that is not of God.

Today, there are many unhappy young people who escape and run away fro their families because the heavenly law of love has been lost throughout the generations.

Based on this, the parent of heaven and earth must appear and allow God to be seated there.
There can be no complaint where the object partner exists for the subject partner.  Any type of complaint would be an act of rashness and lead to failure.  This complaint is not allowed in any way in a life of faith.
You should only be thankful in that position.  Heaven will always be subject.  There are no rules that or ways of life that moves away from this principle.





Heavenly law is established when the order is properly followed.


When there is a relationship interchanged between the subject and object partners, then God must stand and become the absolute subject.

Any person who ignores the subject cannot become His object partner.

If you main goal is to become the absolute object before the absolute subject then you both will become absolutely one.  Thus, everything that you see, hear and feel, even in your loving relationships in your family are for the sake of God, who stands as the subject partner to you who is His object partner.  Everything in creation works in this way.  A family that can live in this way will never perish.

What can last until the end?

It is God plus man, God and man, God and man’s life, and God and man’s daily outlook.  Also, it is God and man’s view of life, God and man’s world view.  These are not just vague understandings about God.

These represent an eternal bond with Hi where there is no separation.

Why is that?  After the Fall, since God and man were separated, they should never have never have been separate, but reached a higher position than where they were in the beginning through the stages of growth.

In such a place, they should come forward demanding a global stage, a stage for daily life where God and being become one.

In order to be victorious, you must live with God.  You ultimately establish a victorious foundation only by having absolute conviction, and through leading your life in unity with God through attending Him. This is the clear path of restoring man fully back to our original position.

Each Moment, Blessing, Curse

God does not have a physical body, therefore, He manifests through Adam as His body, showing His face through him, Adam.  This is the ideal of creation.

God is the original spiritual(vertical) center and Adam is the original physical (horizontal) center.  When these two meet, they generate a 90-degree perpendicular angle.

This was God's purpose for the creation and it is people's desire to have this altruistic unity with God.

Had Adam and Eve had chosen to follow God's word instead of Satan's, they would have united in oneness with God and accomplished God's original idea of TRUE father and TRUE mother eternally in the spirit world.

Yet due to their mistake in following the archangel's desires, this was not possible since they inherited all of the Fallen blood lineage from Satan.  Had there been no Fall, everyone could have gone to Heaven just by simply attending their True Parents, perfect Adam and perfect Eve, just as if they were attending God, because God would manifest through them.

The reason for birth

Everything is round in the created world: the sun, the earth, and the stars.  Even our mouth upon further analysis is round.

No matter what, everything is created that way.  Then the universe makes relationships by going round and round in circular, cyclical movements.

Even if one individual thing has a round shape, it does not exist on its own, but makes a connection with the whole.

This helps explain why we are born.

We are born to beat in rhythm with this vast universe.

The ocean waves that lap against the shore, lap against our hearts as well.  Gentle breezes softly and serenely lull our hearts into serenity.

The flowers which bloom release rich fragrances and stir the fragrance in our hearts.

If we are born, raised, live and die in love, then we can be grateful for our birth, life and death.

Since you were born through your parents' love and treasure each other exceedingly, you consider yourselves born as the flags planted through your parents' love.

You are participants in this love.

Being born from that place of your parents' love, you consider yourselves born as the flags planted through your parents' love.  These flags flutter to express love.

God created humanity to live for the sake of love throughout their entire lives.  So, you should wave the flag of love for your mother, your father and for your siblings.

The relationship between a moment and a lifetime

The crossroads of life do not occur over a long, drawn out period over time, but it happens in a single moment.

Your living body cannot be perfected unless your entire existence becomes a foundation for absorbing nutrients.  This phenom also occurs in the natural world.

People who ignore such a moment, fail to obtain something precious.

Thus, they cannot become great people, nor inherit God's throne and crown.

For the sake of one bright, shining moment, exercise care with each of the words you speak, the action you ttake, and even each thought you entertain.

You should believe that the content of your family daily life will remain in the relationship to the world as you deal with life and solve problems.

In this way, the realm of victory or failure is determined in such a moment.

It is the same with the historical ream of victory on the cosmic realm.  Those who are able to understand the infinite value of such a bright moment and live accordingly, can become great people, saint, or more importantly, God's sons and daughters.

This point where life and death meet, is just a single moment.

It is necessary to first desire the coming of heaven continuously with faith and wish for His will to be done.

What is more important, is how we become one with God's ideal, which He had from the very beginning of creation.

Attitude is the problem.

Of course, first, we must desire for the coming heaven on earth and wish for the Will to be done.  Yet, what iis s important is how we can personally become one with God's will and take it as our own desire.

We must create environments as individuals, and people that will enable us to inherit God's will.  This is where we can then proceed to establish, a relationship with Heaven.

Throughout the history of God's providence, there were three thousand years beginning from Adam's family  through Noah's Abraham's and Moses families down to Jesus.

   In Adam's family, the Fall was not explained just because the Fall was not something planned out.  This plan was to be put into action over the span of a year.

If you were given an hour, when centered on God, we make a relationship with His Will.  This is an important issue.

When you look at this failure, we see that, no matter what is presented, it did not occur over the course of a year.

It was not something that was planned to put in action over the span a year, five years or a decade.

Their mistake happened in a flash.

When we think about how that failure of only one moment has been perpetuated over eons of times within humanity, we can understand the fearfulness and dread of repeating that instant in our own life of faith.

Adam and Eve were born without sin, but because of a moment Eve believed in Lucifer's word and passed on this dread to Adam, humanity has perpetuated the mistake of sin unceasingly ever since.

Even if we live 40 years as a saint, we can fail God's will in just one moment of weakness.  When you look at the biblical story accounts of many people of faith, it is a record of many failures of God's people's course of  restoring God's original plan on earth.

The point Adam and Eve believed in the archangel's words over God's, these became the origin of a humanity needing to make a tremendous offering of indemnity or redemption for this mistake.

When we understand this importance, a single hour that we ordinarily live so casually within our daily lives can become just as fearful for such a mistake to take away years of a Godly foundation.

Even moreso, we have to feel how fearful even a moment is, even one second of one hour that goes by as the clock continuously tick.

Even eternal heaven has to exist having an integral relationship with the single moment.

We mistakenly believe that eternity begins when we die, but it begins at the moment we come to know God's will and determine to bring it forth through our lives.

Eternity will be interrupted if there is even a short jump in time even if it was just a moment, then eternity will be interrupted.

We should, therefore, not procrastinate while walking this path of faith in the course of our lives.

Do  not procrastinate by deferring your responsibility.  A person such as this will die without ever having spent a day of being one with the Will over the course of their lifetime.

Then they cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.  However good your country of residence may be, you cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

If you are unable to live even one day by a victorious standard, you will not enter the eternal world if you fail to live even one day out of the year for God's providence.

Since we cannot stop and must move forward, believers go forth dreaming of eternity. It is important for believers to go forward and dream of eternity.

What is even more important for believers is how much evil can be eradicated and whether they have become the standard of goodness.

This is very crucial.

When we look from this perspective, Adam's momentary lapse in judgment led to thousands years of anguish.

God, thus planned for Cain and Abel, Adam's sons, to dissolve this anguish of their parents and demolish the wall that exists between brothers and create the origin of one true family.

Yet, Abel's murder was also an instantaneous incident that changed God's plan once again.

During Noah's 120-year course, he toiled to build the ark.  In only a brief moment, God gave the command to board the ship.

Those who followed this order were able to receive the blessings of the eternal God.  Those who did not were buried within the eternal judgment.

The same with Abraham: God's promise that His descendants would be numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. Gen. 22:17

This was bestowed in a twinkling of an eye.

Abraham's sacrificial offering did not require decades, but rather a mere day's work.  The time it took him to cut the offering and place it on the altar, was not an hour, yet that single hour historically bore the seeds of all life and death, or curses and blessings within it.

Today, believers should not dread the visitation of judgment in the Last Days, but the question of how they will harmonize their daily activities and face life's crossroads with God's will and march forward in that direction.
