The Right Way - Just Do It!

Sacrifice and service are the cardinal rules of life even though nobody really likes those words. Fallen people hate a sacrificial and serving way of life, but that is the only way to reach the ultimate goal of human life.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon





Who can deny that the sacrificial life is the only way of human life and dignity?

If you are a person who only thinks of themselves and lives for your own purpose, do you think that others will like you and want to help you?

To live a sacrificial way, you need somebody to assist you.  If you live the sacrificial way of life and practice serving others, then everybody will want to help you.

Such a way of life will raise you up to the spirit world and beyond, to God.  Everyone wants to assist a sacrificial person and accompany him.

This is a universal truth.


All these years, I have been teaching you how to be sacrificial, dedicated, and serving people. Is that a great teaching?  Why do you answer yes? It is because you are living this way. You know it. Because I have always practiced this way of life, people have followed me. 


It is an incredible fact that Father, who is Korean, came to the United States and all around the world and people are following him at the cost of their lives.

Why would people do this?

He has a tough spirit and could have become a selfish person, but a self-centered person faces constant difficulties and obstacles because of the way they treat others.

The greatest teaching is how to live in harmony with others.

Someone who truly practices a sacrificial way of life is totally free. 

A person who lives for other's sake is able to overcome any obstacle and pass freely in every direction.  He will be welcomed everywhere.  When such a person returns home, his whole town may give him a hero's welcome.

Once he leaves, he will be given a farewell party.  Such a person will freely come and go with honor any time he wishes.

This is the goal for an ideal way of life.

Of course, living in this way is not easy.  Every part of our fallen sinful bodies wants to do everything only for oneself.  Our unselfishness has been ingrained in us.

A person who lives unselfishly is able to dedicate himself to bigger goals.  He is able to sacrifice himself for his family, society, nation, the world,, and God.  This is the most ideal way to live.  This is God's original pattern for life, but most people do not follow this path.  Then it is a truly special gift to be receiving such teachings.

Our way of life is very clear: we learn to sacrifice ourselves for our family, society, nation and world and God.  Is there anything wrong with this life?

These teachings are given so you can be a truly great person.

At first, the Divine Principle, the Completed Testament, was met with opposition, but people are changing their attitude about these teachings and Father.  Why is that?

It is because everyone understands the value of the truth.  They realize that he is living for the highest ideal and is leading mankind toward a new hope and goal prophesied in the Bible.

How do you show that you are living the sacrificial life and serving others?  Well, what is the content of sacrifice and service?  Is it in just giving away money?  You need to give the very best you have.

The sacrificial and serving way of life is a reflection of the heart of God. 

Many religious people and leaders strive to emulate the saints and the spirit of their founders.

Christians follow the lifestyle of Jesus.

When you were growing up, you learn the heart of a parent.  In relation to your nation, you exhibit a patriotic heart.  Toward the world you embody a saintly attitude.

Someone who lives God's way of life and expresses His heart is living the most dramatic lifestyle.

There are no loopholes to be found in this theory.  You should strive with everything possible to reach this goal. Father freely teaches this making your job easier.

You are pursuing a "Ph.D. degree" in God's heart, which is the greatest knowledge one can seek. 

A doctor's degree from Harvard does not even compare to obtaining a signature from the Messiah telling you "job well done" for the sacrificial work you have done for humanity.

Are you doing everything possible to obtain such a signature or are you doing whatever you wish everyday expecting to be praised as a person of faith?

Even if this is difficult, you have to live the right way.

Every person, even the President of Harvard must go this way, also.  It seems we are living such a lowly life, but we have been given the greatest gift in having a chance to live God's original way.  We don't deeply realize in our hearts the Messiah's value.

Father has been treated with less respect than those in the secular world.  You give more honor to government officials, you admire senators, movie stars and think that congressmen are great people.

When Father was very young, he discovered the universal truth of the Principle which he teaches.  He asked God many questions that even scholars and religious could not answer for them.

After he read that a local young student had committed suicide, he asked why was there so much suffering in the world?  Why didn't God help to stop so much evil and where did evil originate?


I have sacrificed everything to pursue this truth and bring it to fulfillment. I never gave up and I gained a triumphant victory.


Why is being self-centered wrong?  We are individuals given free will, so we should live however we want, correct?

When you live just for yourself, you cause division.

That way of life never succeeds.

It isolates you  and holds you back.  On the other hand, when you are able to live a life for others with the heart of God, you encounter no barriers.  You just move on, advancing with total freedom.

You may think that these ideals are crazy, but it is more important that we follow this way of life no matter what.  If you are not able to follow this way, somebody else will.

If "white" people don't follow, "black" people will. If "black" people don't follow, "yellow" people will. If "yellow" people don't follow, somebody will.

One way or another, this way of life will certainly influence the entire world.

Even if this sermon was given a hundred years from now to your descendants, do you think that they will be able to agree with it?

Yes, because it truly describes the best, and most righteous way of life which God had purposed.  This is the eternal way of the Principle.

You will not be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven without being able to go on this broad super-highway.

Now you understand clearly the purpose of living such a way, do you like this way?  It is not a easy way or well accepted in society, but it is the true way.  The universe protects such a person.

After hearing this standard, do you think that America is headed in the right direction?

What does God think about the American way of life or the family?  We must stop the direction in which America is headed and turn it around.  Even though Americans put up a fight and want to continue to live in destructive ways, we have to do it.

Do you think we can do it?

Does a fighter or champion sit at their desk all day mulling things over or when they encounter barriers they break through it?

You may be at a point where you hit your head against something for so many years, trying to overcome the obstacle and you may think that your head will break into pieces.

Actually, the stone wall will break when you are strong and armed with the truth. That is why you should be strong, bold and courageous.


I am fearless in this court battle, standing up to the fight. An incredible conspiracy has been at work, but I will shatter it. They can go ahead and put me in jail, but I know that the jail door itself cannot defeat me. I am tough and strong and I am not acting blindly. My actions are based on commitment as well as logic.


Father has been imprisoned 6 times for his beliefs and working hard to spread the truth even being thrown out in the snow and left for dead.

People will call such people crazy, but if you are living in a disciplined fashion going the true axis, you are not crazy.

When people move about without  a central point, or any axis, then they are truly what is called crazy.  But we have a disciplined craziness.

Be centered on the axis and never waver from the center even one iota.  No matter how many turns you make the axis remains firm, like a rock.

But the problem is that as we turn, our axis moves.  In other words, instead of sticking steadfast to the Principle, we let the worldly matters move us instead of breaking through those obstacles.

Do you think you made a mistake by living this way; do you think that you have sacrificed a lot for this life?  If you say no, you are better than even the Messiah!  To live a true, absolute course for others, denying your worldly desires is the hardest even for the Messiah.


The only reason I stay in this position is that I have accepted the responsibility. No matter how I evaluate the situation, this is the only right way. I cannot leave it. What about you? I know exactly how you feel. 


To make a long story short, this is the only way period.

Even the top-level student does not really like to work hard to prepare for an exam, but he still has to do it.  Students need to discipline themselves to get good grades.

Learning this teaching is a tough school; this is a lifestyle test.

No one really wants to live our way of life every day.  However, no matter how much we struggle against our fallen selves, this is the only way.

We must live this way of life to reach the eternal heaven.

Are you going to pack up now and go home?  We are standing on a solid foundation now, built by many saint's tears and sacrifices.  Have you laid your own foundation?

Americans hate cowards, but are you a coward?

You admire the brave character and the courageous spirit.

In Westerns, we applaud the strong hero and boo the cowardly characters, right?  Do we want to be cowardly people of faith?

The title of this speech is, "Everyone is Heading Somewhere".

There are two basic ways to go: the selfish way, or the unselfish way.

Which way are we going as a movement?

Is it selfish or unselfish to make your fiancee wait?

If you have the time or energy to party with them, then you have time to think about your mom, nation, world and God.  Your fiancee can wait.  If they are a good person, they will not be corrupted and can wait.   On the other hand, this nation's morals are crumbling, society is crumbling and is in an emergency situation.

You are the spiritual fire fighter and doctors that can save this nation.  Then is what we are doing right or wrong?

Some members are engaged and in the meantime, they fight for the salvation of this nation.  You sacrifice yourself, but you know that God will directly preside over your marriage and that you will have a better wedding.


I have no reservations about letting you suffer for the sake of the nation and the world. When you do that, the entire earth, spirit world, and God Himself will embrace you. This movement will be the guide for America to follow. You will automatically become leaders of the nation.


By living this way, following God's will ignoring fallen desires, we are going the right way.

We are headed in the proper direction, so we must march forth with courage.   Even though you may be spat upon as you do this work of restoration, this is truly the most prestigious and distinguished way of life.

You should be proud of this fact.

In whatever you do, do it with pride.

I have lived a truly remarkable life -- one filled with great drama. I may appear to be a normal person, doing nothing and knowing nothing, but I have special penetrating vision. I have super-sensitivity to the heart of other people, so I know many things about each of you. My way of life is to sacrifice myself, my family, my wife and children for the greater purpose.


Now you should clearly know which direction you should head.

Those who make a determination to follow this unselfish way of life raise you hands and show me.  May God bless you.

God's Purpose Not to Satisfy Public Opinion

Someone might ask, "Reverend Moon, what kind of person are you? You confuse me. You came to America and you disapproved of many things here. You spoke against the Carter administration and now you are criticizing the young people here. You just don't make sense to the American mentality."

How would I answer that? It is no secret that our movement is strictly based upon God's principles; we are a religious movement. Every position I have taken has been as a leader of a religious organization which was initiated by God. I have never said anything for the purpose of
pleasing other people, including Americans.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon



God definitely does not do things for the sole purpose of satisfying the public opinion.

God is above everyone.  He is able to see everything in America, so He is in the best position to give advice and direction from that vantage point.

If your viewpoint is only inside a situation, then it is limited.

This country was born out of the desire to seek God without limit.  Thus, it has no reason to disregard God's will in these Last Days.

The United States must be in accord with God's direction. 

The American youth are experiencing drugs, drinking, club dancing, free-sex, but these are not tools or instruments of God.  How do these thing help advance humanity to a world of peace?

We should focus the excess energy of young people for the sake of mankind and God.

Since we are not able to influence others directly, we set up our own framework within the movement.  The young members are then chased out to do the work of restoration through fundraising and witnessing.

This is not done for Father's sake, but for a special motivation - the sake of America and the world.

Why do you follow this way?

It is because Father has never refrained from what God wanted him to say.  He has worked from the very beginning to teach about the orderliness of nature and the universe.

People of faith should be able to see clearly that the American behavior is against God's will.

The post before this mentioned that children should listen to their parents, yet when the parents tell them not to follow this path of restoration in the movement, we know that the parents are wrong.

What principle should we use in order to determine what is right or wrong?

We must always consider what will maintain the right order of the universe and then we will always come out the victors.

Father is looked down upon as a failure by virtually everyone in the world, but because he has cleared a path for full restoration, he is successful.

We can say our parents look like victors because they have a steady income, are respected and are not persecuted by the community.  But eventually they may end up on the defeated side, while those walking this bloody path of restoration will end up successful.

We may appear as outcasts and losers just as Jesus and his disciples did in his lifetime, but we will become the true victors in the future.  That is as certain as daylight.

Members are constantly faced with sensitive and confusing situations in their daily life, but the Principle prevails always.

We should understand people in all kinds of situations or else we can't reach out to them.  Don't you think God knows all about club dancing?  To know about such thing is never bad.


It really doesn't bother my conscience to go to any place. I even visited the homes of prostitutes when I was younger in order to understand their society and why they did what they did. At that time, I thought, "There is no assurance that even after the Unification Church becomes prosperous, some of the members won't end up in this situation, even among the married couples."


Would it be wrong to educate about drinking by inviting members to drink from a big keg of beer?

If you are able to understand the problems of drinkers by doing that and thus help them, it is not wrong.  However, this does not mean to say you should go out and visit every dreadful place of the world just to see how they operate.  There is too much risk in that.

Members are urged to be clean cut and cut the long hair such as the hippies wear.  There is nothing wrong in this hairstyle, but right behind the well-meaning of peace hippies want, there are evil elements of free-sex and even gangs and communism.

It does not matter to God how long one's hair is.  In the real world a man with long hair is considered to be a hippie living without any responsibilities or rules.

If we are to distance ourselves spiritually from the standards of the world, we have to keep ourselves clean cut and different in appearance.

Established Christian churches tell their congregation, "Don't drink. Period." But if you were to gently ask them why, they would not have an answer.  They would say that it causes bad behavior and fights and loose morals.

If a minister was to pass by such a brawl, he would say, "Poor souls," and continue on.  But if Father was to see such a scene, he would take off his shirt and try to break it up.

"I have always tried to mediate and judge who was right and who was wrong. That is the true role of a minister." 

Who else would break up such a fight?

This sort of toughness is necessary.  It is good to join all sorts of games and sports, becoming not only friends of the players but even a leader among them!  This is why a karate gymnasium was set up in the Unification Theological Seminary.

Where else in the world does such a sport exist in a seminary?

The students of the seminary were asked if they wanted a karate gymnasium and it was explained why it would be a good idea and they each agreed.

The gymnasium was not built in order to become a threat to anybody, but in order to protect ourselves and to be able to preserve the orderliness of society and the world.

There are a lot of evil people who do not understand any language other than strength.

Many people wondered why religious people should take an aggressive stance against communism.  No one was taking a positive approach to ending Communism - not the American government, the FBI or the CI and certainly there were no students taking a stand before the Reagan administration.
Therefore, Victory Over Communism program took up the course.

What is wrong with aggressively stopping Satan? 

If God said that it was wrong for people of faith to fight communism, then we would not do it.  No one else could do it, so we cannot hold back out of fear.

Thus, we launched many demonstrations on college campuses.  Established churches have not been able to tackle the true social problems in America or even understand the true nature of them.

Not many people understand how religion should eliminate the problems of the world.  Would God look down upon such people and say that they were an embarrassment to Heaven?

This may be hard to understand, but the more experience you accumulate, the more you will realize its truth.

Some graduating students are embarking upon careers in the world of art and dance in the future.  In that world, there are no clear-cut strict society and discipline as in religion.  You have to be able to discern with sensitivity and subtlety what is good and bad in those areas.

We must pursue love, but only in its legitimate and orderly form. 

We are all born for the purpose of love, but engaging in the improper order of love is wrong.

The proper order of love:

First, we must try to love our parents and God as our masters.

Whether God and my parents approve of me is indicated by my orderliness.  The most important area is love.  Two people who are about to get married are entering a love relationship for eternity.

Should that person say that they don't care what God, their parents or anyone else says?

This is not the harmonious way.  No matter how strongly you feel that you have found the perfect mate, if God withholds His blessing upon it, will that union be possible to last?

People have come to believe that just because they believe someone is ideal that their family will love them, too.

This is the American pattern to choose someone and present them in front of the family demanding their approval, but this is the wrong way.

Just like in the olden days, majority followed the tradition of order where they present their possible mate first for approval before going on a date or parents chose for their children whom to marry.


I didn't come into being first and then my parents later, and then God. First, it was God, then my parents, and then me, in that order. So in making an important decision about getting married, it should be done according to the right order. Is that right or wrong?


One fiancee told a member that he needed her to come to him now and disregard her parents and if she loved him that she would go.

The girl asked Father whether she should go see her fiancee or he may let her go.  God established the true order of relationships.  A  leader does not have the authority to go beyond God's proper order and give instructions to just go give love at the improper time and say they do not know what the results will be.

A true leader would advise the woman that her fiancee will have to overcome his own desires.  Is that the wrong way or the right way?

Preserving and restoring right love order must be our main concern. 

Our lives themselves are secondary to the maintenance of this principle.

The most important thing in our individual lives is to establish order.  It would be better if we lose our life than to live with a confused standard of order and then later have to pay the consequences.

Dr. Durst has many members who come to him with problems asking for advice.  How can he answer them?

Of course it is natural to be on each person's side and he is concerned with each.  However, he must think about the proper order.

Even though he wants to side with someone he cares about, if his answer violates the principle of love's proper order he cannot do so.

Why are you special Americans?

Because you know these simplistic principles and are following God consistently with your whole heart.  Would you like to be ordinary citizens?

The ordinary way of marriage is to get married right away after your engagement.  The special way is to wait two years and wait to consummate the relationship when you are married.

If you are able to see that this is a valuable principle and apply them in all situations, you will be an eternal victor.  Just like a long-range shot that enters past the goalie in a soccer game,  you will be the victors in the end.

If you have the kind of thinking that as long as you master the principles set forth by God, then you know you can go nowhere else but Heaven.


Every single decision I have made in my life was done according to the principle of proper order. I have come up through many levels to this successful realm and so should you.  That is why I have been teaching you to apply this rule in your own life.

Let us pray.



Return for Tomorrow's Post:  The Right Way -  Just Do It!


This post was rewritten from the speech The Victorious Person and the Defeated Person

The Age of Godism

Surely when we look through the history books, we must evaluate that even though Democracy is the closest political stance standing on God's side in comparison to communism, it still has never been able to solve all of the social problems of the world.  Communism has proclaimed salvation, peace and happiness through orders and materials.

Left or right wing still have never been able to bring true peace to the nation or solve the juvenile problems and religion has only been able to cause more separation among its members not finding unity and peace within its confines.

God never created the world to have such divisions or even religion.  Humanity was to already know and converse with God on a substantial level without the idea of a fallen blood lineage.  Therefore, religions only purpose is to bring God's ideals and practices to His children to restore the world to its original idea before the fall.

Therefore, we are headed not for more political barriers, but the idea of Godism and love.


The Era of Godism

Let's examine what religion truly teaches.

It teaches discipline and control of our fallen desires through fasting, abstaining from fallen sex and to serve and sacrifice.  These are things that no one wants to do and seems unnatural to fight these urges.

Why does each religion focus on these attributes?  Because the founders of these religions understood that satan influenced us to center on our own thinking and not God's way of life.

The only way for arrogant people to become Godly people is through sacrifice and serving others.  Religion also teaches us to make ourselves as an offering to God.  This means to make a condition in which we divide our-self  one side representing good and the other evil.  The body does not want to do anything that does not allow it to be comfortable.

However, the mind is willing to go that way of sacrifice for the sake of heaven. 

Then the mind rises up higher and higher towards heaven in the spiritual world.

Once the mind goes toward the heavenly way, it will rise higher and higher toward heaven in the spiritual world.  We are living in the age where our conscience is being liberated.  The conscientious people will rise in power around the world, because they will be connected to God's love and will receive God's grace, power and opportunity.

Adam and Eve were to be the first perfected parents bearing God's direct lineage without the trace of sin.  We have entered the era of True Parents which embody the true lineage of God.

Humanity lost their parents in the beginning and to return to God we absolutely need True Parents.  Jesus came to be a True Parent and reverse the mistake of Adam and Eve in his time, but went the way of the cross when no one could ultimately follow him and understand the fullness of his teachings.

Why are True Parents so absolutely necessary? Because they help us to cut the ties with evil and to embrace all the individuals and families of Godly attributes. Also to embrace all the tribes and nations of the world and have them belong to God, True Parents are necessary.

When every family follows True Parent's family's ideal, they will become ideal families.  If God is a good God would He have created a hell for His children?  God intended for all of His children to go to heaven as families.  We must live our lives centering upon True Parents' family for the first time in human history.  Your life becomes an offering.

Suppose Father requests you, as an offering, to go to poor suffering Africa. Then you should invite the poor people of Africa to come and live in this affluent nation of America and inherit it from you. That is an offering.

Love is the entity that flows, just like air and water. If they stagnate they become rotten. 

Does the high pressure follow the low pressure or vice versa? (High goes to low.) How about air and water? Same direction.  In the same way love follows this same principle.

If we are to look at the world as a whole, we can say that it is stagnant.  The affluent nations demand to stay on the top level while the poorer nations remain poor.  Air flows freely as love so who created this distinction in class?  The ideal of living for oneself, a self-centered concept caused this stagnation.  This thinking centers on Satan.

Wealth must flow down to the low just as high water flows down.  When we see this happen, the "world problems" will cease to exist.  Does this sound like a solution or not? All problems began in humanity when individualism came into being.  America is the king of individualism and God has nothing to do with individual thinking.  It will all fall down in the Last Days prophesied in Revelations.

Air flows through even the smallest crevice, as does water. Then so should love. Wherever love is needed then there it should seep in. If True Love wants to seep into your mind do you resist or welcome it?

We must find our True Self, our original minds that are linked to God.  How far have we deviated from our true self?

Our mind represents heaven and our body represents hell. 

This is why every religion teaches to dominate the body with the god-like mind.  It is our purpose in life to dominate our bodily, fleshly desires and liberate the conscience.  Just believing in religious text and attending sermons does not qualify one to go to heaven.  When every human lives together harmoniously, religion would have fulfilled its purpose and will no longer be needed.

At the fall we lost everything and the sad point is, we don't even know what we have lost.


Satan Loves Separatism

When God created the world, did He create borderlines between nations or different denominations in religions?  God did not create this division, man did.  We are living in hell on earth where there is no true everlasting peace.  So we must go the opposite way of this individualistic world.  Which way is this, it is the whole, the public way of living.

What determines if a person is good?  A good person is a public person and a bad person is an individualistic person.  We need to know this definition clearly.  In this age where conscience is being liberated.  Those who have been born with a good brain have come to rule the world, but at the beginning, we were ruled by Godism.

At the beginning God was at the center and during medieval times, man became the center.  As we live in the Last Days, we see that materialism and individualism has become central.  During the medieval dark ages, God was part of their world, but there was great confusion where the cause and the result was.  People just blindly followed God and this blindness eventually led to corruption.  We are living in the time where man has become central rather than God.

Father explains very clearly who and what God is and Godism is no longer unclear. We know now, for the first time in history, clearly about God. We understand very clearly today man's relationship with God.

People came to realize that no matter how great a man became, there was a limit to his power as they would die after 100 years at the most.  We lived during an age of materialism and science which denies God and the human spirit.  We are currently back to Godism again.  This time is different than any other time before in human history.

That is the headwing thought.  We have left wing and right wing, but we are leading toward the headwing thought when the two come together.

As well as Godism, we also uphold humanism.  God originally created human beings' mind and body to b connected directly to Him and the things of creation.  Therefore, human beings are the central connection of the entire universe.  Adam, Jesus and the Lord of the Second Advent all come into one unified realms of Parents.

From Adam's time to Jesus' time and the time of the Second Advent, all connect with God [indicating to the board]. Centering upon Parents, the right and left wing bring into unity and bring God and humanity back into oneness. Godism is the vertical viewpoint and headwing is the horizontal viewpoint centering upon True Parents.

From Godism to humanism to materialism, now all are brought into unity. Godism represents the brain, humanism the power, and materialism the body. At this time Satan works to have people believe that God is dead. Now humanity may return to God and Satan is very afraid and so he is trying to proclaim that God does not exist.

Satan tries everything he can to separate people from understanding the concept that humanity can be restored back to their original sinless condition in which God created Adam and Eve.  We have gardnered the concept in society that bad people do well in gaining material wealth whereas good people are always at the bottom.  We should be grateful to be living in the time of liberation where good people will gain God's power and help.

We are living in the time where people of conscience will rise up and turn this world right side up.  We prepare for this season by uniting our mind and body and prepare for this day.  The Fall caused our mind and body to struggle for domination, between husband and wife and the conflict among children.  The right and nations.  Individualism brought about these conflicts.

When the Christian culture that represents the bride unifies the right and left wing then the Lord of the Second Advent arrives.  Such a world will bring unity between husband and wife and the process will be multiplied from individual liberation to the world.

Once spouses unify centering on True Parents, this will restore the family.  Then the individual will be restored and enter into heaven. Unless our mind and body become one, and unless our family become united and we become one with the True Parents we become families who can represent the whole world.

Each family will represent the world, just as Adam's family did.  Just as one man brought about the fall which spread to the whole human society, the family can go in the opposite direction and save the world.  We have come into a culture where good people are welcomed anywhere by anyone.

This did not come about automatically.  Throughout history, God poured His very being into the restoration of His ideal and for His children to return.  We must ask ourselves in our daily action are we going in this direction to unite with God?  this is the natural human desire of the original mind to go this way.

Don't all women have the desire to marry the greatest man on earth?  Not to the second greatest, but to the greatest man in all of history, but this man would disappear after one generation from earth.

Throughout the past, present and in the future who would be the greatest of all?  God. Jesus was great in his time but left the earth with his mission incomplete to return through the Second Coming.  The returned messiah would be qualified as the greatest man on earth.

"How do you distinguish man from a woman or woman from a man? Through the physical characteristics. One is indented and one is protruded. Do you think that God has the physical characteristics of man? Does He or does He not? He is your own Father. (Yes.) You know more than me."

All women must become wives of God.  What will you need to qualify as God's wife?  Women already possess it within themselves.  They will need True Love.  If God was able to connect directly to Adam and Eve instead of them connecting to satan's ideas, He would have dwelled in their three children in an equal way without any amount of sin.

Even though the generation may be different, the fruit is the same. First, second, third generation -- it does not matter. God dwells within each fruit in each generation. God dwells within all of His children in the same way.

The value of the fruit is the same. No matter how many millions of years may pass, the fruit will always be of the same value. This grand pattern God created, guarantees that all of the descendants would have passed into the Kingdom of Heaven no matter how many generation the same as their True Parents.

God created everyone the same and each generation has the same value in God's sight. Adam and Eve naturally represented the entire world, even though they were individuals. Our marriage is not just one among five billion. Rather, each couple represents the whole world.

We each represent couples like Adam and Eve.  We are on the same level representing  the whole itself, not a fraction of the whole.  What does this mean?  That every child bears the same value as Adam and Even themselves.

When a husband and wife come together to pledge before God to marry representing God Himself this i our marriage.  Our marriage represents the whole world.  When Adam and Eve were perfected, married centered on God they would have followed this absolute pattern of goodness.  We would be living our lives centered on Godism throughout the world.

Many problems in the world can be traced back to the Garden of Eden.  Even in jest there are thousands of jokes that "the devil made me do it" or "all the problems in the world began with a woman."  Good jokes always have a little truth at its root somewhere hidden in it.

God does not sit idly by on His throne watching His children suffer on earth as He merely rules the earth with all mighty power.  Any ruler such as this that would place His own dominion and position over love would be a false god.

That false god would be the one who has perpetuated this lie in the first place, and has stood in God's place pretending to be Him.  This god would be the one Jesus said was the ruler of this earth and the true father of the people who disobeyed him.

 The fall was initiated by the archangel Lucifer, and followed by Eve, which has pained God's heart.  In order for God to return His children to the state before the Fall, the mistake has to be indemnified and reversed.  To indemnify is to pay back for a wrong done.

God told Adam and Eve if they chose His words, "do not eat" that they would receive the three great blessings, on the other hand, if they followed Lucifer's teachings "do eat for you will not die" they would receive curses. 

Since God's children chose Lucifer's words, they all received curses.  Lucifer was thrown down to earth, Adam would have to work to gather food after the ground was cursed, Eve was to have Adam (men) as her master for all her days, and childbirth was going to be painful. 

Even though it was the archangel who defied God and tricked Eve, who did God give the responsibility to follow the commandment? 

Herein lies where the pain of women began in all facets of life.  Our first ancestors endowed with God's spirit were given the responsibility to choose to follow God's word in order to become mature and share in God's authority over the earth and receive the three great blessings.       

Lucifer was a servant, and was angered that God loved His children more, on the other hand, he was never given the commandment.  Lucifer was only told to return to his position as a servant.  It was up to Adam and Eve to trust God's command, follow and become subject to Lucifer.

Eve instead followed Lucifer, and then tempted Adam to do the same by following her.  Eve chose curses, therefore as Eve's descendants, all women thereafter would inherit her fallen characteristics.

God introduced religion to break us free from these curses, but this was not to last forever, there will be a point in history when all people will no longer need a Messiah to connect directly to Him.  That will be the Last Days.

Does God plan to keep these curses over His children forever?  God never placed these curses on us, we chose them.  Ever since the fall, God has been working hard to bring us back toward blessings and on His path.  If you look throughout history at women's course you see that women have gone from being shunned, having men as their masters, to burning bras and demanding equality and getting it in these Last Days.  This did not happen with human power alone, this is the mighty works that God is behind the scenes to bring all facets of life destroyed in the garden back toward His ideal.

A woman is for sure to live for her husband, but the man is to live for the woman as well.  The man is to be subject over his household, but does not mean master.  A true household is where a husband lives for the wife and wife for the husband. This has to be restored.  Instead, in the Garden of Eden, Eve chose to live for her own desire and she reversed the roles and dominated Adam to follow her fallen ways.  The situation in marriages where women absolutely follow their husbands must change toward this direction of husband and wife living for the other's sake, thus they live for the family.

We can see such types of marriages in the 1800s.  Women's roles were suppressed yes and not ideal to modern women who rather stay single, but this is closer to God's ideal for the family than today's marriages of wife swapping, single motherhood and other alternative lifestyles.  Men only became the master to women after the fall. 

Women are the central point for the love, peace and spirit of service which protects our families. It is the healthy family that must be the starting point in our work to build world peace. The establishment of God-centered family ethics and the education of our children lie at the innermost core of the Divine Principle teachings that is expressed on this blog. The family is the holy sanctuary that must cleanse this defiled world.

We must establish not only a true concept of manhood, but also the true concept of what it means to be a mother, a wife and a daughter, in the context of a new society, nation and world. People must become forerunners in inheriting the tradition of the True Parents and harvesting the victory. Adam and Eve were to follow God's direction and become True Parents. 

Women have the mission to give proper guidance to men who lead lives of moral decadence and disorder so that the tragedy of the destruction of Adam and Eve may be resolved within the context of history.

In the age of women that is now dawning, women must embrace their husbands and properly educate their children so that they may be a model movement for practicing true love throughout the world.  Women must gain the active cooperation of husbands and children.  This women's movement is not for women alone. First, a movement of true love for husbands and children must bear fruit in ideal families.

The ideal families formed in this manner will come together to form ideal nations and an ideal world.  For the sake of world peace, women must take the lead in government, finance, culture and society. The basic values women should uphold in this federation of women are found in Headwing, no longer the left or the right wing, philosophy can bring world peace,  but Godism.

These values are what unite left and right, and overcome atheistic materialism. They are certain to be the guiding ideas of the world of the 21st century. As women, remember our forbearers, Rebecca, Tamar and Mary, who fulfilled major responsibilities in the history of God's salvation process to bring forth the lineage of Jesus. Let us inherit the strength of will by which these historic women overcame life threatening dangers and difficulties to fulfill their missions.

Let us establish our families as homes for true parents, true husbands and wives and true children, so that we may join in the holy cause of changing this world of evil into a heavenly world. Let us march forward toward a world of peace centered on the True Parents, who are the center of true love.
