First Man & Woman Mistake Was Love

This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.  Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. 

Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there He put the man He had formed.  The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.  And the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when  you eat from it you will certainly die."  The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone.  I will make a helper suitable for him."

Genesis 2: 4, 7-8, 15

What do you think God's purpose was when He decided to create human beings?  For wealth?  For power to control another under His dominion?

God is the essence and source of true love.  The only way joy is felt in the heart is through the context of a relationship.  This means a being that is alone cannot experience the joy of love.

Noone knows how long God harbored alone before he decide to create the universe.

"Even God could not experience any stimulation as long as He existed all alone. Alone, He could not love. For His love to blossom, God needed objects to love. For this reason, God created human beings to be His children, partners in His true love."

God is the Father of all humankind, and we are God’s sons and daughters. In creating us, God invested everything -- the bone of His bone, the flesh of His flesh, and the marrow of His marrow.

When a couple become parents, they raise their children with the hope to reach the central point, the most exalted place where their loves and ideals unite.  By God being our parent and not our commander in chief or master per se, the omniscient and omnipotent God allowed us to grow into a position on par with Him and equal to Him in rank when we fulfill the purpose of creation.

How do we fulfill the purpose for God's creation?  How is it possible for God to need humans beings as co-creators to complete the ideal world? 

Beyond what God can do, there is the human element that is needed.  God created human beings with the ideal they would unite.  Thus, God does not reach complete perfection until his counterparts, man and woman reach perfection.

With this knowledge now at hand, you can imagine how much God yearned for the first ancestors Adam and Eve to reach maturity and unite as husband and wife completely centered on God.  Then they would become beings that reflected God's perfected image and be beings of infinite value. 

When Adam and Eve chose to follow the archangel's command to "eat" God lost His own true sons and daughters.  When the first ancestors of mankind fell, God could not establish a true family capable of creating deep bonds of true love, propagating a divine lineage centered on Him. 

Instead, Adam and Eve became false parents centered on the false parent, Lucifer.  They bore children and their family became engrafted to Satan's false love, false life, and false lineage bearing children of Satan's bloodline instead of God's holy lineage. 

This is where sin was born.  As a consequence, you and I and all of humanity after the fall of the first ancestors, suffer from a constant struggle between our godly mind and our satanic body or flesh.

"Adam and Eve fought constantly, and so did their children, resulting in murder. They did not become the exalted beings that God could relate to as His eternal son and daughter. God could not glorify them as the true ancestors and true parents of humanity. Yet with their fall, God lost the only son and daughter He had."

What happened between Adam and Eve that caused them to fall? Was it, as the Bible literally says, that they ate the "fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil"? Could merely eating a piece of fruit be the original sin?

Also, read any version of the bible and you will see that it never says, do not eat of the FRUIT tree but some other kind of tree. 

Even still could our ancestors’eating of a physical piece of fruit doom thousands of generations of their descendants to be sinners?

No.

How do certain attributes get passed down from generation to generation?  Could something that is physical be passed on unceasingly from parent to child?  The root of sin continuously follows the laws of inheritance.  Sin was planted into the lineage of the first ancestors.  How does one pass on traits to their children?

The only way is through having sexual relations.  This is the only transgression that can have a lasting impact.  The misuse of love committed between two people of the opposite sex.

Eve committed adultery with the archangel Lucifer, and they became one. When Eve then joined with Adam, she bound him in that same oneness. Through this mistake, Adam and Eve had a conjugal relationship that was not centered on God, meaning their family was tied to Satan, the fallen archangel.  Thus, every human being that descend from the first ancestors inherited this same lineage of Satan nonstop. Thus creating a world of hell on earth.

"According to the Principle of Creation, love determines the right of ownership. In a relationship of love the partners possess a right of ownership with respect to each other. By this principle, Satan used his ties of illicit love to claim ownership over fallen human beings."

Jesus said, "You belong to your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire." John 8:44

These are pretty harsh words!  You're like your father and he is Satan himself?  This is because Eve had a sexual spiritual relationship with Satan and passed this sin through the blood relationship of her husband Adam.  Satan became the false father and ruler of humanity.  God is our True Father.

Christians believe God is some almighty king practicing happily on his throne giving out orders to His peasants and that He can do as he pleases and have everything His heart desires.  What God desires is to have his True Children back in His bosom. 

What parent, even an earthly father, would be happy over seeing their daughter raped by the servant, who kill His only son and bear grandchildren that He could never fully enjoy without a mediator?  In reality, God is in tremendous grief and wretchedness!

Looking at God's ideal of Creation for Adam and Eve to be perfected counterparts of His pure, essential love, you can see He experiences infinite sorrow and disappoint after they fell.  God lost everything!  He had to carry His grieving heart and cut a path of blood to pursue the path of restoration throughout history in order to restore His children.

There is nothing vague or ambiguous about God. He possesses a definite character. He desires to form a relationship of the highest true love with human beings. He desires to share with each of us the most exalted love and joy eternally. But God lost the starting point for this, due to the mistake of our first ancestors. The fall of Adam and Eve caused such damage.

God is the original True Parent, yet He was robbed of His rightful parental position. How heartbroken He is over this! God looks upon His fallen children, who inherited the lineage of the enemy Satan-children who refuse to even recognize that He exists. How excruciating must the pain in God’s heart be each and every moment, as He observes humanity’s wretched condition!

Just as any parent who has the infinite ideal of how joyful their children will be in the future, God wanted nothing more precious than to have flesh and blood counterparts to interact with His true love.  God would not have traded His beloved children for the entire universe. His sorrow upon losing them was as equal to what it would have been had He lost the entire creation. He felt that His entire purpose for creating the universe had collapsed.

During the time of creating the universe, God invested His love completely, yet He was robbed of His children and all of creation by His enemy-a thief in the night robbed God of His cosmic throne.  God kept the laws of the principle with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience which makes the result of His creation's disobedience even more devastating.

Even though God is Almighty, we have His characteristics: Emotion, will and intellect.  God has emotions.  What father could continue for thousands of years watching His children be born in a prison occupied by his enemy, watch His children be raped and murdered and detached from His lineage?  This has been God's situation and noone knew except the Messiah who had God's heart. 

Seeing the history of lamentation that befell the world following the Fall, the Book of Genesis says that God grieved in His heart.

The Apostle Paul said, "Creation groans, our ancestors groan, and all humanity groans, waiting in eager anticipation for the appearance of the sons and daughters of God." All creatures desire to escape this realm of lamentation.

God's innermost heart has been tortured and broken as He surveys human beings struggle.  We lead lives of which has little value in comparison to the glorious ideal God had planned for His absolute children and creation. 

God knows the value that was lost after the fall.  He cries out in agony saying, "You were supposed to be My children of my direct lineage possessing My absolute love, My life and My lineage.  You are supposed to be enjoying the fruits of the glory of the Kingdom of the Heaven on Earth.  My heart is in the deepest of pain to see you wearing the mask of the defeated struggling and lamentation until the end of your meaningless lives."

Do you think that God, omniscient and omnipotent, seated on His glorious throne, would say to His children, "Come on up here. I’m not going to leave this seat?" Or is it more likely that He would kick His throne out of the way and come down to where we are? 

Due to our disobedience, we have not only placed God in prison, but we have placed Him in our hell on earth.

People may wonder how is it possible for an almighty God that created the universe and humanity be pained by its very existence.  God has a heart and He cannot get over the shock of losing His beloved sons and daughters.  If God could have clapped His hands and automatically erased the fall and solved all of the world's problems on His own without any human effort, He would not have suffered all of these thousands of years while traveling a lonely path of the providence of restoration.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Ideal True Husband and Wife

This post was taken rewritten from the speech: Filial Children Of God Are Patriots Who Strive To Liberate His Heart given by Dr. Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the author of the Divine Principle.

Liberation of the World's Women

What kind of woman was God's ideal before the fall?

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

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


All Creation Exists in Pairs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Consider America

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

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

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

How does one connect mind and body?

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

When you roll like this, you are dancing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


True prosperity

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

Why? Because God exists and God is like that.

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

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

All women will want to marry that man.

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


Return for Tomorrow's Post: First Man and Woman's Mistake Was Love

This text was rewritten and taken from one of Reverend Sun Myung Moon's speeches which is based on his book: The Divine Principle.

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."
