Fruit of Love Has to Mature Before We 'Eat of It'

Everyone by now knows the Biblical account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.  God warned Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit.  The fruit was symbolic of their sexual organs.  He did not tell them this to be mean or keep them from love, but it was because it was not the right time for them to love.

Imagine an apple growing on the tree still has not reached maturity.  But a young person is so hungry they take the unripened fruit and decide to eat it anyway.  Would this fruit be fully developed yet in its immaturity?

Since they were still in the growth stage, God commanded them to wait until they became spiritually mature.

Everyone grows up and thinks and longs for the time when they can pass through their adolescence.

Why is it necessary to wait until after adolescence to be married?

A man and woman can love at anytime and age, so why is it necessary to wait until after adolescence?

Because of love, this is the only course.

We need to pass through adolescence in order to mature.  Once we fulfill certain conditions during that period, then our spirit and body matures.

What should have been Adam's and Eve's attitude toward their education?

Because God is their parent, Adam and Eve should have obeyed Him and followed Him wherever He went.

The Time for Adam's and Eve's First Love

As we learn in Genesis, they did not do so.

God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply.  This does not hold the same context as bearing children.

Fruitful means that after their physical and spiritual bodies had become fully mature, they should have become a loving husband and wife centered on God and had good children.

They instead left their original positions and disobeyed God.  Since God is the Absolute Being, they should have followed and obeyed Him absolutely even if they did not understand why.

As appointed lords of all creation, they should have acted according to Heavenly Father's time table.  In other words, they should have waited until their bodies matured physically and they matured spiritually.
As Adam and Eve grew into maturity, they were always together.

As they were exploring and getting to understand and know creation, there could have been a time when Eve was frightened by something.  She might have felt safe and comforted in Adam's arm.  At the same time they both might have felt strong sexual urges because their bodies were different from the other.

In this situation, who was the first to initiate the sexual actions: Adam or Eve?

From that time on, their sexual contact began to increase gradually.  

God created the universe with love.

Since God created with His love, then we should have made the created world a community of love centering on God's love and connect it to Him.

This was their responsibility.

Adam and Eve should have been careful to think beforehand how and with what attitude they would share the love they had which was permitted by God.

Matters of love are extremely serious: life or death is determined by its giving or misuse.

Where does love begin?

A true world begins from the perfection of the individual.  The Principle view point states that we can only love after we have become perfect.

The relationship of love only begins when one passes through adolescence and become mature spiritually enough to fulfill the responsibility of becoming one in harmony with the universe.

As we know that Adam and Eve did not wait until they were perfect to indulge in their fruit of love.  How do we know Adam and Eve were not perfect?  Because a perfected person completely connected to God cannot fall.

Then what kind of love did they share?

Since their love was not centered on God or did not unified all of creations in the universe, this means their love was not mature.  Their love should have been mature and natural.  However, the sad fact is, the love they did share was unnatural.

All Beings Are Perfected through Love

God had created us to become perfected.

This happens once the good mind and the body interact based on God's love established in the beginning.

Thus, both the mind and body grow to maturity based on the principles or laws God set forth, and then they completely unite.

This means that the mind would only center on things God approves and the body would have no choice but to follow.  Human beings still have a way back through religion.  The mind can subjugate the evil desires of the body and return to God.

Perfection can only be achieved when one's life is rooted in love. 

When your love matures centering on God's love, then that love puts out buds and bears fruit on that foundation.  Once a foundation of love is established in this way, then God comes and resides there.

Therefore, until love fully matures, the foundation to bear its fruit cannot be established.  Adam and Eve are the true examples of what happens when we delve into immature love spreading it generation after generation.

All things were created according to the rules of love, and thus they continue to exist. 

Plants bear fruit based on the give and take action between the stamen and the pistil in the flower blossom.  This is also true for the animal kingdom and the human world.

Everything continues to exist through the circular motion of love.

In this way, all things become perfected only after passing through the relationship of love.  In other words, all beings can be perfected only through love.

Our mind and body can only unite when they are positioned to conform to the nucleus, center of God's love.  Also, human beings can only completely mature when they enter the realm of God's love when they are united in mind and body.

Humanity began with the mind following the selfish desires of the body thus completely severing our relationship with God.

We begin our journey toward individual perfection as we were originally intended at the time of creation before the Fall.

When we observe the mind and body, we see that the mind is geared toward heaven and the body is geared toward earth.

This creates the ideal place where heaven and earth and the visible world can unite into one.

Many want to dominate the world, but what if someone wanted to dominate the cosmos?  If his mind and body are not completely united would that be possible for him to lead the cosmos?

If he is not able to rule his own body centered on God, how can he rule others?

If he is not able to unite his mind centered on God, nothing will be achieved.  We see this in every nation and throughout history where the world was led down a darken path due to the fallen nature and evil desires of leaders.

If his mind and body failed to become one completely, nothing can be achieved. 

When we achieve unity between the mind and body centering on God, then God becomes our internal God.

The person is physically the external representation of God.  Then the mind and body become one centering on love.

Love is the link between man and God.

We are the horizontal representatives of the existing world and God is the vertical representative, and love bonds the two externally.

Once we are united mind and body with God, then our heart and emotions are pouring in infinite joy and happiness.

In the end, God and human beings become one through the bond of love.  Then also, human beings become one with the world through love.  The realization of a world of peace begins from here.

God's purpose of creation begins from there.

Jesus, who had matured into perfection centered on God, was to be the beginning of heaven on earth, or world of peace.  But no one in his time could accept him and follow him to the end.

Adam and Eve begin to notice the opposite sex around the age of sixteen or seventeen.  As they matured, they were drawn to each other like a flower in full blossom.  Even God becomes enraptured in this fragrance.

Therefore, when God and human's mind and body become one, the nucleus of the universe is formed.  Together they can travel the path upon which they can take charge of all kinds of love.

However, we see that they did not follow this true path, but their own desires which they could not overcome.

Had they have been able to make God's desire stronger than their fallen one, then they would unite with God, they would have never been able to leave him.

Then their descendants would have been connected, generation after generation, forming a tribe, people, nation and the world.  This then would have been a world full of peace, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: We Can Accuse Satan's Sins

This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook, True Family Cheon Seong Gyeong Book Four, Chapter 1

What Is Cause of Human Disunity w/God Part III

Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.  The man said, "This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman' for she was taken out of man." 

 

This is why a man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become one flesh.  Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.  Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the other animals which the Lord God made.  He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden?" 

 

The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God said, "You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die."
 

Welcome to the weekend everyone, this Sunday will be a day off for Achieve World Peace blog I will return Monday with the post God is in prison.  Two points here, What was the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil?  And why after Eve believed the snake and saw that the tree was "good for eating and pleasing to the eye" and ate, she and Adam were then ashamed of their nakedness and cover themselves.

One hint to what the fruit and tree symbolized is the fact that Adam and Eve were naked all of this time and were never naked, but after they shared the fruit God asked why do they hide and cover themselves and who had told them they were naked. Every painting of Adam and Eve shows after they were ashamed they are covering their sexual parts yet are naked and not covering their parts before or while they ate the fruit.

If you have not read the previous parts another large hint is that the tree symbolizes the body of Eve.  What is in the middle of the tree or body that you think God holds as off limits until maturity?

Conditions For Satan's Accusations

To God, Satan the devil who once held God's rules above all else, became the adulterer of love by stealing God's love and using it selfishly to obtain Eve who was to be Adam's wife.

So far, God has been dealing with all the accusations the devil has been making. God had to persevere in His heart until today in order to redeem the condition that would enable Him to say in front of all humankind that He loved the devil.

Why is that so?

Had the archangel not fallen, he would have remained an archangel, but could not have entered heaven without being loved by God. God and His sons and daughters enter heaven only after they are able to love the archangel no matter what indecencies and acts he commits.

That is why Satan accuses them, and you and me in front of God. He says, "I did become the devil, but Your principle of creation, the original principled standard remains intact. So isn't it the rule that You and Your children cannot go to heaven unless you and they love me?" When Satan says this, God has to say "yes." Until now, Satan has been grasping God by His neck and accusing Him as well.

Who is Satan?

He is the adulterer of God's love. This evil son of the unholy and all names that come to mind for a wicked beast destroyed the moral principles of heaven and still he is shamelessly holding onto humanity living on the earth, he is gnawing at people, stripping everything from them and abusing them through the use of their bodies to continue his evil deeds.

If humanity was aware that their evil ways were not their 'free acts' as they think, but millions of devils and evil spirits using their body to keep them away from the light of God, they would turn away.


How Humanity Can Return to God

Satan knows that if he does not lie that his way of infidelity, fallen sex, evil words and such is more fun and better than God's pure way or if he leaves humanity alone, they will quickly return to God in an instant because they have an original mind that leads them back to Him.

During the winter, tree branches and buds seem to wither and die, but once the spring time comes, these tree branches start budding in the morning spring sunlight.  In the same way, if you only give freedom and love to a person's heart, his original mind will naturally return toward God. 

This is why Satan tries with his utmost power to do the opposite in order to occupy hell.  Yet, humanity is blind to the fact of this daily spiritual war between God and Satan.  God depends and relies on His soldiers of faith to liberate and unify humanity which is unaware of their destiny and path back to the restoration of God. 

This includes you who has the awareness to read such deep content.  God wishes that people of faith will practice loving their enemy and pray unceasingly to unite with God's will to bring lost brothers and sisters back to the heavenly path.  Instead many of us have separated in our different religions and judge those people in need instead of bringing them to the gates of God.

So, how do we fight this tragic war of God and Satan, Good against evil with evil becoming stronger  throughout the millennium?

At any cost and through any sacrifice we have to settle the score with the adulterer who offended our Father. However we cannot do it with guns and swords. Unless we have a greater love, there is no way to exact repayment from him; that is how I see it. Therefore God can take the position according to the original principle of creation only after He is able to love His enemy.

Why? It is because originally, at the time of creation, the devil, Satan, who is the archangel, was supposed to be loved by God. Since he was meant to receive love eternally, he still has a firm grip on God, and says. "If You want to be God, You must establish the principle that would provide for You to love me, even though I have fallen; otherwise You cannot stand in the position of the Ruler of this universe!" This is where the problem lies. This is truly a stunning truth.

Satan reversed the original Principle of Creation which was God's ideal of a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth with God completely united with His sons and daughters.  Satan knew this plan of God and reversed dominion by taking over God's children becoming the ruler and father of this hellish earth.  God has been fighting this Satan face to face and plans to restore the world back to the original idea.

Until now God has been employing a strategy to prevent the rise of the conditions that lead to Satan's accusation and to take humanity back from him. Christians have had no idea about God's dreadful situation. They think only of the glorious God, saying, "Oh, great God dwelling in the glory of heaven and earth!"

Who is Satan? To God he is the adulterer. Forgiving the adulterer would go against the heavenly principle, so God cannot forgive him. Therefore, even though God can forgive the people of the satanic world a hundred or a thousand times, He absolutely cannot forgive Satan. That is why the great judgment will come.

Who will be judged in the great judgment?

It is wrong to believe that God judges people in the Last Days and sends them to hell or heaven.  It is not human beings, but Satan, who dwells like a master in their souls, who will be judged.

Satan is the enemy who violated love. He is a wretched thief who entered the house while the parents were asleep, murdered the father and raped the mother.

Who is Satan? He is the enemy of love who raped God's beloved Eve, God's partner in substantial form.

Just by forgiving the enemy who has done you wrong this is not love alone.  We must have such a heart for the adulterer that has stolen your wife that you can still love and bless that person without cursing them.  This is the final obstacle to reach heaven, a kind of test of heart.  Yet, people say that the only way to heaven is just believe that Jesus is the Messiah and you will go to heaven.

Christians believe that Adam and Eve fell by eating the fruit, after the serpent incited them with whispered words. They have no idea of the workings of these fundamental principles. You cannot imagine how sad, miserable and frustrated God is because of this misguided reasoning of the account of Adam and Eve's fall.

He is sadder, more frustrated and more miserable than anyone in history. The moment Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil God's heart nearly burst with distress. And yet, God could not help loving them. You must understand this.

Many think that since God did not stop Adam and Eve from disobeying Him that God was ready and forthright to punish them right after or that God knew it was going to happen. When Adam and Eve were about to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, do you think God said, "It is just what I expected. Go ahead!"? Certainly not! His heart withered and all senses focused on that place. God was trembling and bleeding. He felt like crying out "You must not eat the fruit!"

Because of such indescribable sorrow and frustration He was unable to think of anything else.  Do you think God simply watched Adam and Eve eat the fruit of good and evil? If He had a sword, He would have wanted to cut out that history, cut out the whole world, but His position did not allow Him to do that. Even though God created the Principle and laws of the Universe, in order to be an absolute God, He must practice within His own laws.  God cannot have anything to do with evil and He will close his eyes, ears and mouth to these acts.  All He could do was be overwhelmed with grief.

Once humanity realizes how detrimental the fall was, which is a man and woman who are not blessed in marriage by God giving into satanic love relations, they would do all within their power to turn away from temptations.

If Adam and Eve had been able to fathom God's inner heart, they could not have possibly fallen. God loved His children as a Parent, but they did not understand the depth of His parental heart. Of course Adam and Eve fell while they were still young, but their young age itself was not the cause of the Fall. Rather, they fell because they were lacking in heart and were selfish to their own needs forgetting God all together in their union.

If Adam and Eve had truly felt God within their hearts and related to Him and followed Him, knowing He lived for them never being separated, they would never have committed the Fall.

Ultimately Adam and Eve fell because they could not reach unity in heart with God. This dreadful problem occurred because their desires deviated from God's desires and the direction of their thinking was different from the direction of God's thinking.

A robber killed the original father and raped the mother. Fallen human beings today are in the position of children who were born from that relationship.

Who is Satan?

He is the enemy of God's love. Satan is the adulterer who violated the children of God, so even the God of love cannot forgive him. There is no way to forgive the adulterer of love. Others can be forgiven, but Satan cannot. If he is forgiven, the heavenly law will break down.

We are fallen descendants who betrayed God's heart. Do you know what it was that our ancestors betrayed? Do you think that they just ate the fruit of good and evil that God had forbidden them to eat?

No. They betrayed God's heart. That is the problem. What kind of heart did they betray? It was the heart of the ideal of creation, the heart filled with hope.

Some may wonder why can't God just put Satan away once and for all.  If you read the previous posts, you will see how when Eve had a sexual relationship with Lucifer, he passed his insecurities and fallen nature to her which she passed to her husband Adam.  When they had children this entered the bloodline. 

If God tries to remove the lineage all at once, He would end up destroying the whole human race which has the dirty bloodline inherited from Satan.  If God extracted the blood in order to save us from sin at once, human beings would disappear we as fallen human beings each have the fallen blood keeping us alive even in our sinful fallen state.

Love is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. This became the ideal standard. God therefore cannot strike human beings as the object partners of that love. You must understand this.

God had to go through saints, sages and Jesus in order to slowly restore His children back to the original ideal of creation.  Even then, God had to completely depend on the outcome of His chosen ones and work through their countless failures throughout the ages. 

Because man fell, man is the one who must take the responsibility to follow God back to the original position.  We must know that if God could have just magically snapped His fingers, restoration would have happened during the time period that Adam and Eve were on the earth.

How did Satan manage to oppose God for six thousand years? Until now Satan has been holding the Principle in front of God. Satan says. "God, can You punish me? If You want to punish me You must destroy heaven and earth first.  When You created me, didn't You intend to love me with the love belonging to the completion level, even though it would be only a love meant for an archangel?" 

Satan knows that God will not destroy Him and that God must love Satan no matter what even if He cannot forgive him for killing endless numbers of His children.  Satan continuously throughout history would accuse God's children of the sinless acts that they would commit in order to do as he pleases knowing that God is bound by His own law.  That is until the Messiah returned with the words that you have read for the past three days revealing the crime of the archangel.

I know that these last three posts have reached the right people because the two weeks before posting this I had a strong battle with evil physical and spiritual trying to keep me from posting to any of my pages or blogs, an extreme battle against heaviness and extreme hate came toward me to get these posts written.  I had forgotten that this information, the crime of Satan being revealed to hundreds of people about how He had sexual relations with Eve and not just tempted her with a fruit has always been hidden by Satan at all costs. 

Once people understand the magnitude of the fall and that humanity still falls into the hands of Satan's temptation of making fallen sex outside of God's realm look enticing and go they decide to go the opposite way toward purity and saving the key to their sexual organs for their spouse, then slowly Satan loses power.

Jesus taught us the standard of how to be a filial son and brother, but he was not able to show us the proper way to be a husband and father because he never had children.  That is why he said he would return through another in the Last Days to complete his mission, but his disciples and even people of faith to this day could not understand this.

Before the Second Coming, there has been no place for God to stand because He did not have a filial son or a system of love that could uphold the standard of the heavenly kingdom by having people fulfill the way of a patriot, saint and divine son or daughter. Until now, God has been incarcerated and in confinement. The heavenly kingdom became an empty ruin. God has carried this sorrow in His heart until the truth has been revealed and God can finally take back dominion over the earth.
