A person who has matured through the three stages of formation, growth and finally reaches perfection, can not fall away from God. Perfection is eternal. Perfection was God's ultimate goal for humanity and to unite with Him to fulfill the purpose of creation through their ideal family.
Where does this world of fighting have a root?
That's correct. Lucifer. But we must first have enough steps that lead to that conclusion. There must have been a being whom God, Adam and Eve loved very much. That being is the Adam and Eve who perfected themselves as God desired.
Since they did not yet perfect themselves, there was not a complete relationship between God and Adam and Eve yet. What if there was no fall and Adam and Eve had reached the perfection stage manifesting God's image? They would have built an ideal family centered on God and spread this foundation into an ideal world of peace.
What is it that God desires the most? Just as us, He wants a True Love counterpart. God is very lonely, all by Himself.
Because we are made in God's image, God has five senses just as we do. But what good are His five senses if He does not have an object? All of the five sense are for the sake of the love partner and are all the same. For instance, your eyes exist to see your spouse, not for see yourself.
God was not looking for a knowledge partner in His children; He was looking for a True Love partner. Aren't we the same? True Love is everlasting and unchanging. True Love is the reason God created the whole of creation. God absolutely needs love.
The crucial question is, does God have His love partner or not?
God has not found His love partner in the creation.
Would this make God happy or miserable and pitiful? This would make God sad and miserable to not have a true, ideal object partner in love. The mere fact that God chased Adam and Eve out of the Garden and everything became chaotic means everything in creation went away from God's original purpose.
When we observe the creation, we can see like an artist that it is the most magnificent, including His partner, and yet we know that He has lost everything. God has nothing left from the original creation He created and had high hopes for.
Then, this pitiful God who lost even His own children He awaited millions of years to unite, must listen to people of faith plead with God to save them individually. These are the unfair acts that men of religion are pursuing today.
Therefore there is not anything that God can have a smallest attachment to and God wants to sweep everything away. There is nothing left after the Fall that He wants to look at or think about.
We know that God had an ideal different from the world we come to live in and accept as the true way of life. This is the opposite reality to what He originally desired in these Last Days. If Adam and Eve had not fallen, then God's absolute love would have been ours today.
What type of people would occupy this ideal world?
It would consist of individuals who are united in mind and body. They would create loving and ideal families throughout the world. We need to understand where the origin of the fight between mind and body began. This is the root.
Where does life begin? Where did your life begin? From parents and more particularly from the love between parents.
If this love between the parents would have been God-like, then fighting would never have taken place.
Adam wanted love, but after Eve was seduced by Satan, she seduced Adam. This was the root and beginning of this conflict. We can conclude that the origin was not True Love, but conflict began from false love. The motivation was the origin of the fighting.
This origin of the first parents' false love gave rise to all the conflicts thereafter. The result is that everyone in existence is different from God's ideal. God had a desire far away from the current world, but due to some accident, we live opposite of the original desire.
Humanity truly does not know God, we do not know our own origin and root.
God's children's false love resulted in false love, false life, and false lineage. The lineage changed and does not have anything to do with God. God's lineage would have resulted in True Love, True Life and True lineage.
Now these two are in conflict with one another. The false direction wages war against any power that is trying to go in the true direction. There is an insurmountable wall here.
In order to rediscover our true self, how many steps have we lost?
The false life of humanity expanded through eight different stages: the individual, the individual within the family, the individual within society and so forth. We lost eight stages of our true selves.
Just by one person restoring themselves toward the original path as an individual will not suffice. Even if you are restored to God's original ideal, but your family is not, it won't do. Therefore, we have to repair ourselves at eight stages and win over that before we can move from false to true domain.
How do you intend to accomplish this in your lifetime?
Who is the subject of false love? Satan. Then this means that he is God's love enemy. Satan is the destroyer of God's love. This is his main work. There are also eight stages in God's world.
We have to reach to each point in order to penetrate to the next point past each stage of boundaries and walls. You cannot jump from one stage to another.
Barriers cause a natural prison within ourselves.
As you rise up, it becomes more difficult and the wall gets higher and higher. Its difficult from the individual level to the family level, but it is even more difficult from the clan to the national level. How do we liberate this?
In order to enter into a true realm, it takes a life and death venture in order to escape from one level and gain entry to the next level. This path toward perfection is so difficult that it requires risking one's life to make it possible.
This is why the Bible says that those who are unwilling to die for God in fact die and those who are willing to die will live.
Who in history has ever addressed this problem? No one.
Before you can restore the family level, you must first liberate yourself as an individual. Religion today focuses only on individual salvation, but doesn't teach about perfection and taking that victory to the family level and beyond.
Before you can belong to the nation, world, spiritual world and God you must first liberate your own self.
Even if you were to rise up to each level, if you did not first liberate yourself it does not have meaning to God. Since the fall, we have spread the satanic blood lineage from the family, nation to now the worldwide, universal level.
Once you enter the spirit world it is even more difficult to liberate oneself as individual perfection can only happen here on earth. Therefore, spirit men must ascend to someone on earth to assist on the same level and restore through them. This is more limited and takes longer than restoring one self completely on earth through all the different levels.
Christianity is teaching that through belief alone you will be saved. That is completely unreasonable. That does not amount to anything. Because the Divine Principle teaches the Completed Testament content of God, people call the author a heretic.
Satan, the super destroyer, is rampant.
The Bible forewarns that such signs mean that the end of the world is approaching. We are living in such times. Once a prosperous Godly nation, America is now riddled with immoral activities, uncontrollable diseases and the family unit hangs in threads.
Nobody has time to pay respect to the nation any more because they are too busy paying attention to the individual. Satan has truly devastated this country.
The whole world will sink to destruction in the Last Days, but a few will rise up. There is hope. Once there is complete destruction, then, there will be a new bud of life that will emerge from the rubble.
Those who fight alongside the Messiah at the Second Coming will aspire to not just save themselves alone, but will have the desire to save the whole world and even the imprisoned God also.
Satan as the love enemy of God, ensured that he turn every aspect of human life in the opposite direction and destroy everything that is ideal.
Have hope, my brothers and sisters. The same world that Satan destroyed, God is recreating before your very eyes.
In the Last Days, what is right will be seen as wrong and bad and what is wrong will be seen as right and beautiful. These times will be confusing, but we should not fall into confusion during this transition time and know clearly God's direction.
For God to set the foundation for the Messiah to come back to the earth to restore the earth to its original purpose, it took thousands of years of preparation. He awaited for Satan's foundation to finally crumble to where they stand today.
The root of the whole problem was the sexual behavior. Satan's world is an immoral world. Satan is the God of immorality. God is the God of holiness and purity (soonkyul ).
The word means 'the clean lineage', but in English, there is no clear concept of having a clean lineage.
The Fall needs to be clearly taught to help teach about the cause of the confusion and how immorality today came from the sexual union of two spiritually immature people outside of God's dominion.
Once we know that Satan caused the rift within our being, we can closely examine why the mind and body fight desperately against each other.
We know that man has a mind and body. Within his mind dwells his conscience, which because of Satan, is unprincipled. The mind originates from God and our fallen bodies originate from Satan who tries to dominate it with all unprincipled objects.
Since God originated our conscience, it knows that the body must follow the good mind and ignore the evil mind. The conscience is vertical. There is only one ideal vertical and in God's world that is plus.
The conscience, which is an absolutely vertical line, enables us to decipher right from wrong. However
even though the mind is more connected to God, it still dwells in an unprincipled fallen body. The body belongs to Satan on the horizontal plane, which the spirit must live within it while on earth. Mind and body.
If God was in the subject, plus position and Satan in the minus, object position, then there would be no problems because this is the Principle. However, the body has turned into the subject leading the mind to do evil things.
The body now is the root of false love. Therefore the mind and body are in conflict.
The question is how to nullify this reality. Originally mind and body were to have been subject and object. Had that happened then, just like a tuning fork, if one had sounded there would have been a resonance. That is how harmoniously sensitized mind and body were supposed to have been.
Because of this reversal, the mind and body are always in conflict to take the subject position. Has your good conscience always been the victor over the evil body's desires or is the conscience always vanquished by the evil body in your experience?
Our mind plays a small part in our daily activities, whereas the body seems to dictate everything else in our lives. The conscience is being dragged around by the evil body constantly and because it knows which world it is destined to go it is saddened by the situation of man.
Even though we live in this hellish reality far from God's Heaven on Earth status, the good mind still knows that it is to dwell in heaven.
Even Hitler began his domain determined to bring about world unity, yet he centered this ideal on himself without a concept of God his notion failed.
This is what our conscience continuously reminds us, but the body continuously tries to drag the conscience to do unprincipled things and whatever pleases it. There needs to be a revolution of the fettered mind in this day and age. We need to liberate our conscience so it may do as it pleases instead of following the orders and dictates of the body.
We are fine tuned now that we know that man's problem began with the body. Adam and Eve were not already perfect, they were growing towards perfection when they fell below the growth stage. If they had reached the perfection stage uniting with God, then the fall would have been impossible. Once man reaches the perfection stage, then he has nowhere else to go, but heaven.
Heaven is Adam and Eve reaching oneness with God.
How was it possible for the evil body to get the better of the good mind? At the time right before Adam and Eve reached perfection, in their immaturity, the power of the false love was stronger than the power of the conscience that was not fully developed.
We see the power of how strong false love is all of the time. Even though it originated from Satan and is not pure, false love is still a powerful love.
False love is so strong and powerful, that two people who are in love and are forbidden to be with one another may kill themselves willing to die together than live without the other.
This is the problem: overcoming the power of false love and following the original way of God.
We need to have a strong conscience to be able to counteract this and have a clear understanding of the boundaries of the evil world and where is God's destination. This way we prevent from being trapped by going the opposite direction.
The moment that one feels the powerful surge of false love, they should simply destroy the temptation. We must destroy the false love power which is stronger than our good mind until we reach the perfection level and are united with God in everything we do.
This is what the religious life is all about: to deny the desires of the body so that the conscience will rise up stronger.
The purpose of religion has been to destroy the bodily desires and uphold the conscience.
This is the main reason that God introduced religion into human life giving an individual the power to suppress their bodily desires and strengthen the mind or conscience.
So, the notion that we can be saved by just believing in religion will not save anyone. Religion is not how one is saved, it only gives us the tools. The only way to be saved and go to heaven is to connect with Gods love.
Religion was not God's original purpose.
If the first parents had followed God's word instead of Satan's, then religion would not be necessary. If Adam and Eve had united with God and reached perfection, they would automatically have connected with God's True Love. Instead, they connected to Satan's false love.
Without connecting with that True Love of God we cannot enter into heaven.
It is more important to understand how to destroy the urge of the evil body than religion itself. Just believing in the church will not get us to heaven. The only way to heaven is to connect to God's True Love and overcome our bodily desires.
