Love is the Source of Peace and Happiness

The more love we have, the happier we become. Love is such that once it is in our hand; we never want to let it go.

Our human will does not govern the source of life.

Only true love can influence our motivation, our course or the end of our life.

We were born in love, therefore, we should live and die for love at the end of our lives.

What do you think the color of love would be?

Would it be a murky black color at night, white in the daytime and yellow in the evening?

The central color of love is where we will find the power to achieve peace, unity and equality for all.  However, if you happen to carelessly venture into love's most holy place, the sexual organs, then you will be judged.

When you find someone to love, your face becomes radiant. 

Only love has the power to bring such light.

Guns and threats can not bring about such beauty, only love.  What kind of love is this?

That love is true love, the love that is the owner of the universe, the center of the universe, and the original fountain of the universe.

Love is the main point of happiness.  It is the invisible order and the peace that serves the common good.  It is the common asset of all humanity and the symbol of God's will and power.

Love holds supreme value which cannot be measured.

Once you have true love, even God will follow you.

When you possess true love, the world will follow you, everyone will follow you.  Once you stand in love's place, all of creation will follow you.

True love has the power that makes you and another feel good even if you stay together forever.  

You will still feel good even though you stay together, live together, talk together, eat together and listen together.

We cannot deny that love is liked and welcomed by all people.

Everyone wants to be born, live and die surrounded by true love.  Such a person has a fulfilling life and is a happy person.

Getting a wink from a loved one can make you feel that heaven and earth were turning upside down.  If you get a smile from the one you love, then you feel all of heaven and earth and the cosmos live within your heart.

People in love become completely possessed by it.  Each word they utter will be based on the love which claims them.

Therefore, love has the power to break down all barriers which humanity builds.

If you think it is small, it is small; if you think it is big, it is big; if you think you can see it, you can see it; if you think you cannot see it, you cannot see it.  Love has a perceptive quality.

The power of love is greater and mightier than the power of an atomic bomb.

An atomic bomb only has the power to leave destruction in its path, but love has even more power to save people and give them new life.

We all dream of a world of peace, where nation is no longer against nation and the people treat each as brothers and sisters of a common family under God.

The only power that can bring this about is not through war or force, but through true love.

Each nation observes their own traditions, have their own cultural backgrounds and customs.  The only way to transcend the multitudes of barriers we face on every level from the individual to the family level is through true love.

As we continue on this path of restoration and love is perfected, you will see that the political, economic and cultural problems, basically all human disputes, will be fully resolved.

Every problem that humankind face today can be fundamentally resolved through the perfection of true love.  Humanity has gone in the opposite direction of this path with give and take of false love.

True love has an unchanging quality and is the same whether it is night or day.  It is not possessed by just one person.

True love belongs to everybody.

Imagine a world where true love is shared freely.  True love has the power to connect to the family, nation, world and the universe.

We must seek this true love.

God became a sorrowful and regretful God for creating humanity that went in the opposite direction of His will.

But, if we were to perfect our love centered on God, He would become a responsive God.  He would experience no regrets once He was immersed in it.

God will rejoice over anything that happens in the world if He is surrounded by true love.

If people could live in a world of true love, they would all live happily, without regret.

If we were able to reach this level of love, there would be no war, resentment or suffering in the world.

All of creation will shower blessings upon the ones that devote their lives centered on love.

Flowers will flourish and bloom in their gardens, birds will sing and want to live in the trees of their back yard.  This is because people who live centered on God's love know the value of all things of creation and truly love and embrace them.

Love is so big that even God yearns for it and is engulfed in love.  Therefore, what God wishes for more than anything is for love, because love is even greater than He is.

Did you know such a fact?  Even God bows down to true love.

Love is in unity with God and occupies the center of ideal circumstances and situations. So, as long as God exists, there is love to be experienced.  

You can find money, knowledge and power in the midst of love. 

Love's power is eternal.

Those who experience true love while living on earth, do not have to learn anything in the spirit world.

What is true love?

On the intersection of the vertical and horizontal line, true love forms a ninety-degree angle.  It must fit wherever it goes.  Love should fit in Eastern homes and in Western homes alike.

True love can fit in anywhere and everywhere regardless of whether there are difference in race, cultural or religious backgrounds.

The universe breathes in and out.  Political power can never control the expansion of the universe.  Neither can all the money in the world or knowledge.  Only through the giving of love.

When you are able to look at the world through eyes filled with true love, when you see a bird flying in the air, you will think that he is chirping because he is missing his beloved.

With eyes of love, poetry and prose come naturally to mind.

Our lives harmonize with nature and reproduce the symphony of love.  That is why a breath of love, a caress of love, a song of love and a whisper of love are all pleasing.

The most evil of forces dissolves in the presence of true love. 

Even if you just pass by or only look at true love, that is enough.

Love is the element that forms the essential part of you.  Before you are given life, love is at work.  It is the source of life itself.  A life that is lived for love is a productive and fruitful one.

On the other hand, a life that does not know love leads to exhaustion and destruction.  You have probably witnessed this phenom in your lifetime.

God, humankind and even the universe have a desire to live for the sake of love.

This is the original way of life.  True love is absolute, unchanging and eternal.  It can not be revolutionized, or developed.  Love's original form is eternal, unchanging and absolute.

The love attained in a natural setting and in the most natural atmosphere is real love.

Once someone opens his or her eyes to love, that person's mind and body will want to form better and multi-dimensional relationships within the universe.  They come to understand the order of nature from the leaves falling in autumn wind.

They will smile and want to become a flower blossom in order to appreciate the beauty of a flower in a spring garden.

The fastest action in the world is the action of love. 

If two people who lived on opposite ends of the earth were to fall in love with each other, their love would pull them together, therefore overcoming the distance between them.

Love has such power.

A person who receives love and receives grace from God looks beautiful.  When we are able to reach the state to feel God's love, we can thus relate and transcend everything in the universe.

When we are centered on the emotions of God's original love, we can have everything.

Our organs and our bodies were created for the one purpose, love.

The eyes were formed to seek for love, the nose to smell love, and the ears to listen to the sounds of love.

Of all the words we hear in the English language, there are words we never tire of and always like to hear and that are the words, "I love you."

That kind of love is true love that the entire universe welcomes. Love is the only topic which all beings enjoy.

True love doesn't lead us to only love those things that are good and beautiful.  We can define true love as that which can love the very lowest thing more than something high.

Love has such a power and quality that even God is bound by its authority.  This means that even the almighty God becomes weak before true love.

Even God wouldn't be able to prevent himself from smiling when He sniffs the scent of love emanating from humankind.  God likes to hear love stories.

What is the most holy element in the world?

It is true love.

True love starts from God. 

What God desires is the path of true love.

You must understand that if you do not follow the path of true love that you cannot have a close relationship with God.

God wants to see, hear, eat and touch through love.  That is where happiness will begin in the world, when people can live fully based on love.

We all want to reach perfection and realize the ideals of our dream, but we can never achieve these things without love.  Everything in the universe exists on the basis of love.

Everything in the creation began life through the original love of God.  

In this world, when you give something away, it is gone.  But in the case of love, the more you give, the more you receive in return.

This is why when we find true love, we delight in it.  No matter how much your give, it will be returned to you.  Then you can always be happy and joyful.

We all like money, but once you buy something, that money is gone for good.  However much you might like power, once you use it, it runs out.  But, the more you give love the more unlimited a supply you will have.

So, what exactly is true love?

It is something that even grandmothers and grandfathers can never relinquish, even in death.

Once you get a taste of true love, you delight in it so much that you can never live without it after that.  This is the same for all people: men and women, young and old, those from the East or the West.

Would a grandfather who receives love from his grand child exclaim that he doesn't like that kind of love.  That he was not used to that smell of love from where he is from.  Would he say that he rather smell something other than the scent of love?

Fresh baked bread or rice stimulates every cell in your body.  The cells respond that it tastes very good.

Love is like the essence of everything.  When you can treat anything and anyone with that kind of love, a path will open up along which you can freely go anywhere without restrictions.

True love lasts forever.  

Love is unchanging: in the spring, summer, autumn and winter; true love when you are in your teens, adulthood and old age; and true love even when you go to eternal spirit world.

Who owns love?

Not man or woman, but God Himself.  True love is the only way for God and human beings to become one, because love is absolutely essential to both God and human beings.

Wherever there is the harmony of love, circular motion takes place.

When humans and God unite centered on love, God can come down, and human beings can go up, and they will meet midway.

Thus God becomes the center of the sphere and then there is a spherical motion occurring with this give and take.

This is where the central point is.  This point is where harmony in love is established and is the place where life first stirs.  This is the starting point for equality and sharing together.

That is because the power of love is there.

The power that acts on and embraces everything in the universe is love. 

Love's quality can never be felt by yourself.

This can be said of happiness as well.  Even the concept of peace cannot be applied to just one nation if the rest of the world is at war or suffering.

You can only feel true happiness, when you can love based on a relationship with another on an equal footing.  It is the same for freedom.  You don't experience freedom on your own.  True freedom is acquired within love, together with love.

Even if a dictator was to give out true love and wield absolute authority over everyone, even with a whip, it would not hold the people back, Instead, it would bring richer joy and happiness.

This is because it is something that is given to others for their benefit, through which someone sacrifices himself to save others.

Love is the pillar that stands at the center where the mind and body automatically unite.

The individual, family nation, world and universe are all situated at the central point at that one pillar.

Since this central point does not move, this is why true love is the eternal place of settlement.

Jesus told the people that he was the way, the truth and the life and no one could come to the Father but by him.  However, he left one thing out, the most important aspect of all, love.

He should have said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life and the love.  Those words should be inserted into the Bible.

When Christians hear such a speech, they will say that it is blasphemous.  But if you ask God or if you just simply think about it, you know that Jesus, God's true son, was love.

From this, we can see that God really likes love, but he likes true love the best of all.

Family Members Should Not Live For Self

Once a person reaches the world level, he must come back and make contact with the lower levels of the nation, society, tribe, family, and his spouse, then he is ready to move out toward the world level again. Such a person will be welcomed everywhere around the world, no matter where he goes. He will be sought after by all other peoples and cultures.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon


We know deeply in our minds that this principle is the true way for a person to advance to his fullest potential.

Surely, you want to go in the direction which Father wants to go, but since we cannot all go to the same place at the same time, we are spread out all over the world constantly changing positions with each other.

Why do you witness and do missionary work with such enthusiasm?

You desire to get good results, but you also want to return home with a proud report.

In that sense, you return to the reason of your activity and don't stay at the same level of result.  This is how you unite the result with the cause.

We know that man is not a causal being but a resultant being. 

Can anyone boast that they brought themselves into being?  Did they created themselves?

It would be natural that a being of result will want to know and become one with the world.  Eventually, he will desire to unite with God, who is the ultimate causal being, and report both his good and bad experiences to Him.

The resultant being wants to share his life with the causal being.

Every part of the process goes back to our cause, which is God.

Is this fact made up or is it true that returning to God is the ultimate path for all mankind?

You are right if you said yes.

Every pair in existence has two tendencies: to move toward the center and to move toward the center and to move toward the outer expression.

Nothing is randomly in motion.

Two controlling factors determine the way everything moves: one pushes the object in a certain way, the other in a certain way.

These two direction always exist to ensure the purposefulness of the object's motion. In this manner the motion of going from the causal point to the resultant point is continually repeated.

This is the way the universe moves.

Your mind and body delights in having good give and take during your lifetime.  A person that has good give and take is a happy person.

A man that has this kind of harmony, wants and needs to meet a woman with that harmony.

Together they want to have good give and take that they achieve between their individual minds and bodies.

You receive direction from Father and you work hard to achieve your goals.

We have the idea within the church to achieve a good give and take relationship between the subject and object.  Then you return to Father with good result.

Through living this way, we expand the influence of goodness to the largest level.  A person may live according to this ideal for a while, but then will start to criticize and complain with the direction that is given.

We can use the illustration of baseball.

Imagine that the catcher stands behind the batter to catch every ball the pitcher throws.  Do you think that the catcher is judging which ball he wants to catch and which one he wants to let pass him?

No, he is determined to catch every ball that is pitched.

Even if the pitcher was to throw a curve ball, the catcher would still reach out and may even turn all the way around in a circle as he catches it.

There is not one catcher that would just stand still in front of a fast ball and try to stop its motion with a stiff arm.  He will catch it with a turning motion, and absorb the strength of the pitch.  Thus, his actions contains a quality of beauty.

You should change your thinking to when you make some motion, even raising your hand, that you are moving with the universe.

This principle of motion applies to everything in a person's life.

Today, many American young people think they have such a great life enjoying their time with their friends while ignoring their homes and their families.

If they were truly experiencing a great time, they would naturally come back home and have an equally great time with their parents and family.  Unfortunately, the trend is for young people not to see their parents as valuable.

They say that they are part of the 'older generation' and then ignore them completely.  Could this be called a complete and great life?

The truly natural way of enjoying life for a teen is for them to go out, have a great time and then return home and share his experience with his grandparents and the whole family.

It is unnatural to go out have a good time and then go home and isolate yourself from the rest of the family.

Would a grandparent or parent want to have such a child come back home?  To live in the family that does not interact would be a painful existence.  If the youngster lives in his own world without sharing his life in a positive way, the family will feel offended.

Most people do not understand the universal reasons why it is good for the child to share his experiences with the family.

Now you know that going out and coming back in harmony is the law of the universe, and no one can live happily in violation of this law. 

A person who lives according to this law is a person of health, and a natural person.

Others will seek him out and desire to learn from him the proper way to live.  He will naturally become a teacher to the people who don't know how to live naturally and harmoniously.  This is the principle standard for what a man should be.

Do we see this in our American families, where each are able to speak freely sharing their experiences with one another on a daily basis?

The person who lives according to the law and standard of harmony should become the natural center and leader.  He will be welcomed by everybody, not only in his own country, but the rest of the world will embrace him.

This is the criterion God uses.  It is all the standard of all things in the universe.  All creation already lives by this standard even if man chooses not to do so.

Then it is natural that those who leave this protective boundary of this principle of harmony will gradually lose power.

As we grow up, we gather and absorb all the elements of our environment.  But once we are grown and physically mature, we start giving ourselves to our surroundings.  As we age, we become physically smaller not bigger.  When a person dies, his body returns to the earth completely.

Whether it is invisible or visible, everything is guided by this cycle.

When we look in history, it is clear that those people who are still recognized hundreds of years later are those who lived for the sake of the world.  It does not matter whether the person lived in the east or the west, or if he was white or black.

The person who lives for something greater than himself becomes an eternal being.

The one who can give the most for the sake of the world is the person the world wants to remember most.  Look at a few examples before thinking that this is just a hasty conclusion.  Everything in principle can be applicable to your own life.

Even the physical world of mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms and the spirit world are all guided by the same principles which we have been discussing in this blog.  God Himself is guided by these principles.  We can begin to relate with God in an intimate way.

We can talk and have a deep personal relationship of give and take with Him.  We can even dance with God.

All men want to perfect their character and their natures because they need to come back to that cause, God.

What if there was a meeting of all of the superior people from each part of the world.  Would there be a struggle among them to figure out who is the best of the best?  Can such fighting bring about a decision?  

In fact, such a decision would have to be agreed upon unanimously by all on their own volition.
The greatest person there would be the one that everyone recognizes having something the rest of them want or lack.

Naturally, they would want him to become their leader.  A person who has an universal characteristic of every direction is the one who is acknowledged by those from every direction of east, west, north and south.  This is simple logic.

You have been trained to become such an universal person.  Even well-educated western members have willingly gone to poor countries to offer their time and effort to help the people raise their standard of living.

In the past, Western countries gave out their best people to lesser developed nations only to gain dominion over them.  We have reversed this.

We take the best person and send him to a backward country in order to live in the worst conditions.  This person though is to raise up the people to a better position instead of raising himself over them and thus keeping them in a miserable position.

Do we do this because we try to be different?

No, we go this way because this is the original, true way no matter how many people have gone in the opposite direction.

This is the law of the universe, and if anyone goes against it, he will eventually perish.

We have sent missionaries from America, Germany, and Japan because they can represent the developed nations.  They each come from nations with a history of never wanting to bow down to others.  Among them, the most willing to sacrifice for the sake of others should be the leader.

If America was to continue along her current path, she will be despised by the poorer nations.  The black people of Africa who are struggling in poverty and misery will turn against the predominantly white America.

We see the trend now where all the people around the world are beginning to wish bad things would happen to America.

Recently the royal baby was condemned by many people sometimes showing side-by-side pictures of a poor child in Africa next to the royal couple holding the new baby.

When you compare this to when Prince William was a baby and was well accepted worldwide we see that the Western society is losing ground.  At that time, America and Europe were looked toward as the ideal nations.

As this resentment toward the developed countries continues to spread, the voices of negativity will become stronger and stronger.

According to the principle of the universe, if there are many, many people who wish you to decline, then there is no way to avoid that decline.

If a person, nation or entity boasts about their great success, if it does not connect itself back to its cause, that entity cannot continue to exist.  This is happening everywhere.

The once jubilant American family is breaking down in relationships between the younger and the  older generations.

Also, there is rarely a good give and take between the American president and the citizens.

Somehow people have come to use an economic standard as the measure of their success. 

Economic concerns and money are only a result.

If this nation continues to only be concerned with money, which does not connect itself with the causal element, the consequences for this nation will be terrible.  

Of course, there is nothing wrong with having money or economic success, but why is money necessary?  

If we only desire to have money so we can live well, then this is the wrong attitude.

Money is the result of a fruitful cause and is meant to serve the purpose of that cause.  The purpose behind wealth is to make God happy when He is able to look at a healthy, good world.

America needs its money only in order to make the world a better place, the way God intended it to be.

Once you understand the purpose of having money, then it is fine for you to acquire it.

Even if you were to only be concerned for the nation, you still want to use your money in order to reverse the destructive trends in America.

What if someone wanted to use their money to make their parents' lives more comfortable and easy.

Everyone will approve such a person having and spending their money for the sake of a larger purpose than just himself.

If a person clings to his money for his own selfish purposes, even his own parents will not approve of him.

A person who lives for the sake of the whole world is welcomed in any place and has unlimited freedom of movement around the world.

However, if a person wants to live in a small self-centered way, all the elements of the universe will wish him ill.

Self-made millionaires who only live to acquire their wealth for themselves will never be truly loved or welcomed by the world, especially if he hurts others in his quest for money.  Such people are violators of the universal law.

Therefore, their success is not seen as a virtue, but as a manifestation of their sinfulness.

Money is not the only thing that falls under this principle.  Also, knowledge can be used improperly depending on whether one uses it for the sake of others or just to take advantage for his own personal goals.

The same can be said of position and prestige.  All of these things listed must be guided by the principle of harmony, then there is nothing wrong with wanting to obtain them.

When a person is in violation of this principle, someone else who doesn't seem to have much power may start to criticize the unrighteous one.  Eventually, the unrighteous person will become the loser, not the one who is in a 'lesser' position than him.

Now, we have a clearer picture of how to live, we need not to criticize others.  The only thing we need to do is go the right way.

We will continue to make money and spend it for the sake of the sake of the world.

If you see that someone else does not want to spend their money for a greater purpose, just leave him alone.  Certainly, it will not benefit him to live that way.

Don't despair, it does not matter who is great, powerful and wealthy today.  Those who live by the Principle actually are becoming the great people of the future.   The way of non-Principle is the way of decline.

The way of the Principle is the way of success.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: The Power of Witnessing

This Post was rewritten and derived from the speech The Deep Desire of Our Original Nature

Does God Need Love?

Does God need true love?  We know that humanity has been in search of the purest love, but God has total authority, why would He need love?

Actually, the fact that God is almighty and absolute means that God also needs love more than anyone else in the universe.  Everything on earth only can work through the power of love.

Is it possible for God to have love without humanity or creation?  Is He able to experience joy all by Himself?

Love needs an object to complete a circuit, and even God cannot violate this law. 

God needs someone in which to love and be loved by; but is humanity equipped to give love to God? If so, would it be men and women together or separately?  Will love hit two people at the same time or one at a time?

What is the order of this love?  Who would be the first in this love crusade?

It is impossible to go in two different directions at the same time so there must be an order.  Would you be able to love your mother and husband with the same intensity, or would you love one more than the other?

Can you kiss them or embrace them both at the same time?

In this day and age, the feminist movement wants men and women to be equal, but there should be an order or discipline between them.

Equality and fairness are two different things.

Having blind equality does not equal fairness.  God loves both men and women equally as His children like any father, but there is always priority or sequence that follows.

Who would be the first to love God?  Women would say men come first.

When you make a circular motion based on this external layer, it goes in all different directions and ultimately is self-destructing.  Lasting, peaceful circular motion is always set up around an axis.

In everything, we need this central axis.  If you use this central line, then there will be no destruction no matter how fast or long you turn there. The more responsibility one has, the farther he advances toward the central position.

Who is designed more for greater responsibility, men or women?

The biblical tradition was for men to be given the blessing, because men are ultimately responsible.  Man is the subject in that central responsibility.

Blessing always accompanies responsibility. 

Throughout history, mankind has traditionally lived in this way, with women leaving their family homes to get married and taking their husband's name.  During war time and pioneering times, the women assisted behind the men in their work.

Men are in the subject mode and women are in the object mode.

Would you rather have a feminine man or a masculine man?

Women rather have a masculine man because this is a quality they do not have.  God created men and women in a complementary relationship.

Women are created for conquest of love by men.

This is not offensive when it is genuine, unselfish love that conquers you.  You will be intoxicated by it instead of repulsed by it.  At a certain point you will be a prisoner of love and give everything you have for the sake of your husband.

This is how God designed women.

The more you are conquered by love, the more you want to give. 

This is the spirit of true love.


I am a tough and rugged man who cannot stand any injustice, but even though I have a fiery temper I was conquered by the love of God and became totally helpless. In that love, I was made a lamb. If I weren't caught up in the love of God then I could not stand all the criticism that has come to me, but because of the love of God, the more people criticize the more I like it. In the name of God, I can be persecuted and tortured.


Father said in his speech that God would test him by allowing persecution to come.  When he would overcome, he would be completely intoxicated by God's love.  Then God recognizes him as His son, the living proof of His love.

God gives more tribulation as a condition where He can give him more love.

If Father is able to absorb the criticism and welcome the persecution he receives, then within the realm of God's love, there is nothing he cannot do.

Love is the central theme.  Would you like the kind of love where God allows persecution to come to you?  You would endure it because of love.

Equality is good, but not with blinders. 

Because you are not losing anything, you don't take exception to this, do you?

God created Adam first to be next to Him.

Women are built as objects, not subject.  If a woman was to go out late at night, it is natural for her to ask for a man to accompany her to the dark parking lot or to her car.

But even her youngest brother would be able to go out alone at night without asking for his sister's help.

This is the complimentary order of subject and object relationship which God established.

Father's family is the same way.  His first born was his daughter who is next to him, and then his second oldest is his son who is next to her.  Just because he is the first son does not mean he assumes the first position in the family.

He would not complain that his eldest sister is given first treatment.

Why is this so?

This is the order of love, flowing to the first fruits, then the second fruits.

There is a certain flow and timing which remains as the universal order.  God created one at a time in order, not two at once.  God would not complain about this because it is God's universal order.

This order is established in subject and object relationship.

If all of creation was a Boeing 747, then true love would be the compass and navigator.  True love love guides the whole plane with all its passengers riding in the correct direction.


I have been called all kinds of things, such as a dictator worse than Hitler. Do you think I have the power to do everything at random according to my will? Am I without principles and law? What is guiding me? True love. 


Father is obedient to the law of true love more than anyone else.  He upholds this law and gives his entire life for it.

Does true love have color of white, black or yellow?  True love is all colors.  All colors have come to follow Father, why is that?  They each have a common goal.  We are not just talking about it, we're creating it.

A good example is we have all colors and races under one fatherhood and bound by true love.

Could this be the result of a dictatorship?

You work hard at your mission and it seems like  a thankless, miserable life, but underneath is a burning desire to be a central person of true love.


You bring meaning to hard work.  You do not do it because someone forces your, but you do it because you have desire that is burning, you have peace within you.

This is true love.

When you are activated by true love, everything you do shall have beauty and glory.  If you communicate with God, then you could never leave him.  Even if you were to receive persecution from the whole world, you are able to sustain your ground, because true love of God upholds us.

This love is invincible because this true love is what mankind needs. 

Because those who you witness have to receive that love through you, they have to come.

Once you reach the level of total oneness with God in His true love, then you can enjoy absolute freedom and do anything with God.  In this love of God, there is no deed that is ungodly.  Even if you do things that seem nasty on the outside, they will bring you closer to God.

No deed done in true love is ugly.

What if God was angry about something, but in that moment His three-year old grandson came over and said, "Grandpa".  He would not be able to help but smile despite His anger, because that one word came from the child's true love.

Maybe God was in the middle of making a life or death decision for the universe, but even at that moment that one word of true love melted His heart.

If you have ever seen a moon launch, the moon may be in one direction in the sky, but the rocket will go in the opposite direction.  The spectators do not think that this makes any sense.

Those living in the world would say the same of the movement, that we were crazy and going in the wrong direction to the Kingdom of Heaven.  But our compass has a clear direction.  It is a spiritual compass leading ultimately to heaven.

If that compass leading your heart is true love then you are bound to reach heaven. 

Even though the rocket looks like it is doing unnecessary maneuvers, if it is led by the compass of true love, it will definitely take you right into heaven.

When that rocket led by true love lands in God's love, that love will explode and rock the entire universe.

When this happens, God will be activated in true love and begin to dance.  When God dances, all of creation will harmonize with Him and begin to dance, too.  Even if God stepped on someone's head in His excitement, that person would not complain, and probably ask for more.

This is the power of true love.

The contest of giving true love is the ultimate competition between husband and wife. 

If you are able to say that you love your partner with the true love of God, then no matter how wealthy or handsome or beautiful he or she is, he has to bow down.

True love is the ultimate gauge of value, not appearance or social standing.

If a wife measures how her husband has given true love to his family, if he is defeated in the competition of true love, he has to bow down to her.  If the subject is defeated in true love, then he must humbly come under his object.

This works on every level, as between a head of state and the people.  If a child is on tour of the White House and asks the President if he loves the people as much as he love his parents and he answers yes, then he is a great President.

If he cannot love the people more than his own parents, he is a failure.

Just as the Bible states that even though you may move mountains, without love it does not have value.  What is the expression of this true love?  Unselfish giving in everyday life is the true expression of that love.

This is the way parents have been living for their children and also the way God has been living for mankind.

Any subject demonstrating unselfish love toward his object is living true love.

When a man stands in the center of true love, the Kingdom of Heaven shall be there.  That love will go beyond any power that is on earth and win over it.  Then the power of unity will bind everything together into oneness like glue.

This is our goal on the road toward an ideal world.  Our direction is true love.

When we manifest that true love in our daily life, it is unselfish giving everyday.  You will also always remember your position.

When you get closer and closer to that goal, many burdens and responsibilities will come to you because the time of fulfillment of God's wish for an ideal world  is near.



Return for Tomorrow's post:  All Creation Has Purpose


This post was rewritten and derived from the speech Mankind and the Ideal World

Two Sides to Man

Did you know man has two layers?

There is the mind's side which is God's side and then there is the body which has been stolen by Satan and riddled with sin.  Therefore, if it wasn't for Satan, your mind and body would be united as one with God.

Instead, the satanic body dominates the godly mind.  However, because of Satan this second part becomes another dominate plus. So a double plus has been formed.

Originally, the unfallen body would have followed the godly plus mind.  This is the ultimate goal of the Messiah, to bring the original unity of mind and body.  The seed of the original plus and minus will be generated.

So basically the coming of the Messiah is to bring men and women into the original state where there was no Fall of Man. 

To bring them back to that original state is the purpose.  The worst situation of humanity is that Satan dominated the body of men with his satanic sinful blood lineage.  Through tempting Eve, he multiplied his own fallen children through Cain and Abel which thus led to humanity we see today.

Your blood is stained with the satanic lineage leaving behind God's pure blood lineage.  Satan was in the minus, servants position.  After he dominated God's children, he came into the plus position on earth.  We should then knock Satan's plus down and create a major plus which is the Messiah.

We become the minus in front of the Messiah.  This is the kind of man the Messiah searches for.  Within one seed, there is the plus and minus part, the subject/object part.  This is the love cover.

Man is supposed to be love's universal representative.

When the plus and minus are united within the cover of love, if another plus tries to invade the original godly plus would repel it.  The Universal power would repel the illicit plus.

If Adam and Eve in the object position had united with God the plus, then when Satan came as another plus he would have been repelled.

Love covers such a union to protect the seed from invasion.

The universe is our best policeman, because the universe always protects the righteous thing.  Therefore, when the plus and minus become harmonious and united, with the universe protecting it, illicit love attempts from another minus will be expelled.

During a thunderstorm, you hear the effects of billions volts of plus and minus clashing in the sky resulting in thunder and lightning.  How does the gigantic plus and minus create themselves?  The minus and pluses unite themselves becoming one giant plus and minus.

As long as there is no object formed, the subject always increase itself-uniting plus and plus and plus. 

Minus also increases itself by adding minus, minus and minus.

The iron rule stated in physic books in school is that plus always repels plus electricity and minus always repels minus. This is not found true from the Principle point of view, they do not want to repel.  They would rather unite until each found an object and subject, at which time they repel.

But until then, they unite with each other.

The universal law is that when a plus and minus unite, nobody wants a third party to invade.  Even in the plant kingdom, the insect kingdom or anywhere does not want a third party to invade the union.

This is the same with humans.  When we are young before we get married or get to know the opposite sex, the boy naturally are big bundles of joy and energy together.  On the same token, girls create joy together.

But when it is time for the boys to marry, if the unmarried one say, "Boys, lets play!" the bridegroom will say to them, "Get out of here! Get behind me, Satan!"

If a woman was married, she would push away her friends who are prettier than she is.  No one wants any invasion of their union.  The universal law comes into action to protect a couple harmonized into one.


So men you have two eyes, don't you? You have two ears? But you're not hearing two different words-they are harmonized and equalized. As long as the two eyes, two nostrils, and two ears are harmonized, they only receive the one image.  This is harmony. 



The universe protects the unified weight of subject and object.  If Satan wants to infiltrate a harmonized, unified place, he cannot do that.

Another universal law is that when the perfect plus or perfect subject and the perfect minus comes into existence, the perfect plus creates a perfect minus.  This is the Divine Principles evolution theory.  Darwin's theory says that the plus dominates the minus.

It looks good on the surface the theory of the strong survive, but it does not get to the root problem.  In reality, plus and minus unite, then become either a greater plus to attract a greater minus or a greater plus, then united into an even greater minus or greater plus.

This is  how progress is made.  For instance, in man, the mind is supposed to be in the plus place and the body in the minus position.  When these two unite, they make a perfected man.  This is the big plus that appears in man.  Instead, after the fall, the body became the dominate sinful plus leading to destruction.

The same with God's dispensation.

The Messiah is the perfect plus, the pure subject.  

If another plus was to hit him, they would shatter into pieces, be destroyed, or they become a minus to unite to the Messiah's mission.  This was Jesus' desire to have his disciples to unite with him, instead, they fled. Without a solid foundation, Jesus went the way of the cross alone.

The Messiah who came as a firefighter to reverse the immorality was opposed by America as absolute subject and plus.  This is how the United States was shattered by the Universal Law.

The conscientious and people of faith should unite and follow the Messiah, and become an incredible force of the universe, spreading all over the world.  Ironically, as America opposed Reverend Moon, the satanic nations welcomed him and became a big minus to his mission.

The Messiah gives the Holy marriage Blessing as a True Parent, which the husband and wife become a heavenly plus.  Thus, they will receive all kinds of attacks from minor pluses.  But when you stand strong and take position as the absolute plus to these minuses, they will either be shattered or join you.

When you become a giant plus united with God, you can even challenge invasions on the national level and worldwide level.  This is the Messiah's way of life.  He began the battle on the individual level, family level all the way to the universal level.  The United States has fallen from its great position it observed almost 200 years ago, but the good conscientious Americans rose up in the rubble.


I would like to add that Father wrote two letters to President Bush before the Persian Gulf War and during the war itself. In the first letter that Father wrote he said, "George Bush, President of the United States, you cannot win this battle without the help of God Almighty." George Bush stated the very words that Father had written to him in his own proclamation-quoted verbatim what Father had said in that letter. I was amazed. Father said, "Don't promote it too much".


If we look at human history, there is not much to be proud when we look at it from God's point of view.
  History began when Adam and Eve fell away from heaven.  They were only teenagers and had not been blessed in marriage by God.

Even people of faith mistakenly believe that they were approved by God to start a family and that they carry God's blood lineage after the fall.  Instead, we followed Satan's words and were linked to his blood lineage - not God's true pure lineage.  This has been a tragedy and the origin of chaos and mischievousness of our world.

Satan knows that one day he will have to give back the world he stole to God, so he uses certain strategies to prolong his reign. First, he destroyed all of the evidence of his deed.  He thus was able to make it appear that the way of the world today is the original world and it was meant to center on the body.

Through the fallen body Satan has been able to dominate humanity.  

The other weapon is he created a perversion of sex-the misuse of sex.

God's weapon is the conscience, and for this reason He created religion to reach the mind of his children.  Thus, Satan is always trying to have power of the body making it stronger in order to obscure the power of the conscience.  Satan makes much effort to destroy you and me through our body.  This is the reason why so much immorality is flourishing in this country: the conscience has been diminished by Satan's tactics.

Satan uses rich and materialistic people.  he blesses them with wealth. In order to make extreme amounts of money, you must kill the conscience.  From the standard of God, if you have a conscience, you cannot be a                                
rich person very well.

Money has been another of Satan's weapons to create this immoral culture.  Other weapons is through the destruction of the body.

There are many artificial intoxicants: tobacco is one, alcohol is another, worse is all the different kinds of drugs. Then through sexual promiscuity, homosexuality and lesbianism, satanic weapons obscure the work of the conscience.

Through all of the tools used to dominate the body, Satan's rule has been prolonged, but will undoubtedly end in these Last Days.

God warns through the Divine Principle which this blog is based upon that you must find the way of life where your conscience is happy and satisfied.  You must live this way of life.  That is God's warning.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: The Country to Lead the Future


This post was derived and rewritten from a speech of Dr. Reverend Sun Myung Moon centered on the Bible.

Adam and Eve Were the Seed

When you look at the first children of God, you can view them as the seed of the universe.  

They contained the initiation of the ideal of one family, one tribe, one nation and one world.  When the first parents fell away from God, that seed was contaminated as they followed Satan's words and spread a family of evil.

It is now very difficult to cleanse this world.  It's not just one man, one family, but billions of men are infected by the disease of sin.

We are no longer dealing with the original seed and containing the contamination is not that easy. We have the work to change everyone one by one into the form of the original cell, the original seed of Adam.  We are to restore our lineage through individually becoming a seed with that original, God-centered core.  Then that core will multiply in a chain reaction.

In order for us to embody truth or perfection, we must reach out and draw vitality from all over the world, just like fruit on a tree. 

Like this fruit, we are at the end of world.  That fruit at the end of a branch draws energy not only from that little branch but from the entire tree in order to be perfected.  Our energy must come from the entire world not just one area of the universe.

When we speak of restoration, we deal with the entire universe in order to become perfected.   Then we recreate our own family, society, nation and world out of our own core, our own seed not having anything to do with sin.

We will tackle the world's problems and make them ours.

We must have the pride to say, "The world will be perfected because of me since I am a branch of the Messiah; I am one important component of the Messiah's work."

Do you have that kind of conviction and pride?

Doing this work, you can be like God.  You can then see God's will as your will, and God's work as your work, God's ambition and anxiety as your own.  When God looks at this world, do you think he sees it as small or big?

God views the world as the size of a ping pong ball that he can put in his pocket. He can toss it, grab it and do whatever He wants with it.  This is the way you should feel while doing God's work in the providence.

You can look at this world and say, " I can put this world in my pocket. I can claim it; I can cleanse it; I can toss it around."

Since you view the world from God's point-of-view, you perceive Gods will and ideal as your own.  You can think that the world moves because of you and you can move the universe.  When such speeches are given they are misconstrued to say that one can conquer the universe.

We cannot move this world or any mountain without having this conviction.  Even if God did not exist, we would still need a concept even in hypothesis of one God, one creator in order to unite the world into one. But because we know that one God exists, we can be even more confident that unity is going to be fulfilled.

Our real joy is in knowing there is a God.  If we truly perceive His ideal on earth, then there is no way to fail in the mission.

If God is real, then you just go ahead because what needs to be done is obvious without instruction. 

Anybody can leave at any time during their hard work and run away, but because God is really there, they do not want to be separated from Him and lose this wonderful opportunity to do His Will.

You have only one opportunity, one life time to employ your all here on earth.  How can one waste even one second of their life when they realize the seriousness and reality of God's providence to restore every man back to their original form?

Billions of people are waiting in the wide world.  Time is so precious and everything must be done now.

There is much negativity toward those who do the greatest work of restoration for God.  

Some are greedy and in another way they are ambitious.  Ambitious people are actually needed in this work if they know how to do the right thing.  It is actually God's strategy to spread negative rumors and allegation so that only those people who are genuine and determined to give even their lives for the sake of God come to do His work.

When outside people say, "Don't do the work for a certain group, you will ruin your life," it is like advertising for the movement.

Good people have heard many good publicity about things in this world and are later disappointed by things in this world.  Then when they hear bad things about people like Reverend Moon whose followers believe he is the Second Coming of Christ, they say that there must be something there or otherwise people wouldn't oppose him so much like a fan club against him.

They will then want to weigh in for themselves in the face of adversaries that try to discredit him. Such negativity will be like a challenge to God and he will then prove to the world that Reverend Moon is good since they try to make him look bad. Then God will make an extra effort to polish His own commodity and show it to the world.

Then we can conclude that someone who is truly searching for the truth of God in these last days, they should go and knock on the door of the group that receives a lot of persecution for no reason.

"My life here on earth is very limited, and in this short span of time I have tremendous work to do so I do not want to waste even a split second. I just run, run, run. I am responsible not only for America, but also for Europe, Africa, South America, the Middle East, and Asia. I am worrying about the whole communist world. I have the whole world to worry about in the short span of one lifetime, so I am always running.

Because my physical body is limited I sent out missionaries to 120 nations. The people in the physical world and the spirit world have a right to protest or complain to me if I do not visit their countries for at least three months. They can say to me, "You have the mission to bring salvation to us and to the universe. Why did you stay in America for so long? Why didn't you come to visit my country just once?".

However, here on earth I have physical limitations.

If I were to visit 120 nations of the world for three months each, it would take 360 months to come back to the United States. Just to make one visit around the world with three months in each country would take 30 years! Is it realistically possible?

I had to tell spirit world, "You know it would take 30 years to visit each country, and I have to finish an important ministry in certain places."

Then spirit world said, "You are right. You cannot make such a tour, but then at least send your representatives."

I accepted that offer from spirit world and sent the missionaries out to 127 nations. However, some of these nations instead of welcoming them, persecuted our missionaries and put them in jail. But the fact remains that my representatives have been sent.

If those nations did not accept them, that is their responsibility. Now no one can accuse me of being unconcerned about those nations.

Furthermore, I am well-known, not only here in America, but all over the world. Even though I was not physically in every nation to proclaim the truth, my name and work has still been spread all over the world, fulfilling the necessary condition.

Now, I am in a position to accuse those nations.

I sent my ambassadors, my representative, to those countries, and they have heard about me. If those people never even listened to us, how can they say that we have not done our part? They must not judge us without investigating the situation, listening only to allegations and rumors. They must draw their own conclusions. If people just accept rumors without investigating us, they are in the wrong.

Whether as good or bad, whether as controversial or not, I am known all over the world.

Now, I can say that I have done my job, and I am free from any accusation of the people. Now, I am putting responsibility into their hands. They cannot complain to God that I did not declare the truth to them. There is no condition for accusation existing.

Satan has no way to accuse and the people have no way to accuse. If they come to oppose me even more, the condition exist for God to let us reap more and more blessings. They must pay the penalty. I am in a position to bring a libel suit against Satan, "What you have done is character assassination, and now you must pay the penalty.".

The amazing thing is that the people who oppose me, including the media, are actually helping the Unification Church to receive greater blessing. If 1 had not been opposed in the most horrendous way by the Washington Post and the New York Times, we would not have created our own newspaper, the News World. We would not have needed it.

Therefore, they brought us the blessing of the News World.  Accusation coming from the white community in America gives a chance to all the minority groups to come, which is a blessing.

Any accusation or opposition is matched by equal blessing. 

Because most of the white community is opposing me, the black people are coming to take my side in indignation at my being mistreated. But actually, as far as I am concerned, white and black are the same in the sight of God."

Reverend Sun Myung Moon

Now that you understand God's will and individual perfection, then who would be your enemy to oppose this?  It is not Satan who is your enemy.  It would be you yourself that is your own enemy.

Is your mind and body one in serving God?  Would it be more difficult to unite the entire universe or your own mind and body?

Unity must first begin between each of our minds and body.  This is the principle that can unify the rest of the world.  The key to unification of the entire universe is not the universe itself or spirit world, but the key is you yourself.  Then who is your true enemy?  Your own eyes and ears, your nose, mouth, thoughts are your true enemy.

Thus it is imperative to recreate your five senses and your arms and legs to work centered on God so you can live entirely for God and His providence of restoration. That is your revolution.


War Within

Did you know that there is a borderline within yourself that divides the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of hell?

These two world meet in you.

If you move to the left, you end up in hell; if you move to the right, you end up in the Kingdom of God. Many people begin on the borderline where they are neither with God or Satan's kingdom, but then they shift to the left and fall all the way down to the dungeons of hell.

Then there are some people who make effort and keep pushing themselves to the right until they are entirely dwelling on the side of God.  Then the there is the third type of person who does not know which side they will reside and  wander along the line with one foot always on the other side.

Your conscience knows well which type you are.

If it was easy to become the right type then the world would be easy to restore within one generation following the true way of life. In order to follow the true way, your own eyes must be revolutionized, because they see something beautiful and you have lustful thoughts wandering around.

Your new eyes will see straight to the will of God.  Your ears need to be revolutionized along with your mouth, nose, hands to focus only true things - your whole body must become entirely different.  This is why the true religions teach about ruthlessly disciplining the fallen body.  In a way, this is cruel.

Religion teaches the self-sacrificial way of life, because Satan must separate when you are cruel to your own fallen self and worldly ways. The most important question is can you do it?

In order to build the Kingdom of God on earth, you first start by going down to the dungeons of human misery. There in hell, you create your own spring, your own heaven.

In this way, your own heaven is guaranteed.  Many people of faith have become selfish praying for their salvation, their small corner in heaven.  The true way is to work for world salvation.  Are we living in a world of paradise or a world of misery?

If this world of misery is to change into the world of the Heaven on earth, will it be brought by singing and dancing only, having picnics only laughing and having a good time with the best foods?  Is relaxing only going to make the world less miserable?

To bring some hope and happiness to this unhappy, chaotic world, you have to conquer misery and unhappiness.

To transform the world of misery, you must begin at the bottom of human misery leading an even more miserable life for the sake of happiness, for the sake of God.  This is the only way to liberate the misery out of the world: transform the bottom of hell on earth into the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

If one was to work hard in the lowest place on earth to transform it back to God and the principle does not work, then there is nothing more to worry about.

In that case, no victory after following this heavenly principle means there is no God, no spirit world and no hope.

"I came to this conclusion a long time ago and I determined to liberate this unhappy world. In order to do that I determined to bring myself down to the most miserable life, and to bring about the liberation there.

What can bring hope and light and some promise for the future down to that miserable world? The person who can live a real life down on the bottom himself is the person who can bring real happiness that people can rely on. People can trust that kind of life."


Return for Tomorrow's Post:  We Were Created to be Perfect Not Fallen


The Will of God and the Individual

If Nature Protests Humanity's Behavior

We don't think much about the natural occurrences in our lives.  We don't think about our heart beating, the sun rising or the fact that nature exists outside our very home building nests, flying south and giving birth.

 What is the purpose of creation, why do any of these things exist?  They exist for one purpose.  For the love obtained from humanity and God.


So, what if you woke up one morning and trees decided to return back into the ground, all of creation went to the north pole and decided to stop living for humanity?  We would then be aware how much a gift is the creation.

There is an Alfred Hitchcock movie called "The Birds" that exercises this point very well.  I think one of the characters mentions that when you see one or two crows it does not make a big difference.  But then when you see the amount of crows that covers the rooftops, playgrounds, cars and the sky, then you start to become alarmed and have stepped into a horror movie.

What if nature decided they had enough with how humanity has treated the gifts it gives everyday and decided to go on the offensive?  Then we would realize how perfect and glorious, God's ideal for creation really is in its giving of itself to His children and in everyday functioning.

All of creation exhibits God's dual characteristics and are connected to Him through the vertical and horizontal position.

God is Spirit and the created world is material. 

The substantial world is horizontal while God and the spirit world are vertical. God's invisible dual essentialities were manifested in visible form, so everything is made in the image of God.

So, where does this place humanity?

Each man is the microcosm of the universe.

Each of us are made of every element that is seen in creation.  This places us near God, but we must not forget to look at it in this way as well: Nature supplied each ingredient that makes us who we are which means that without the universe, humanity could not exist.  How can we be arrogant toward the creation when it is essentially a parent to humanity?

What if nature all the sudden, like the birds in the horror movie, demanded you repay everything that they loaned you.  What would be left of you?  We can feel that the universe gave birth and made us.

Therefore, nature is your first parent.  All the universal formats or formulas can be found in you. You could accurately say that you are a small walking universe that can move, whereas the cosmic universe is stationary. 

In this way, God had planned for humanity to govern the universe which in return the universe would want you to dominate it.  But would nature want to be abused, overused and misused as we are witnessing in the world to this day?  The universe would reject such behavior.

This is why the first duty for humanity to truly achieve the three great blessings is to love nature.  This means, that wherever you are, you will love the creation and appreciate it.

Then, because you love the grass, trees, flowers, birds and running water you would then love your fellow man who is made of these elements as well.

There is this quote that is spreading across the internet that humanity has fallen in love with man-made material things instead of loving man and this is the cause of humanities turmoil.  Another example is when someone drops their phone it seems to affect everyone to the core as a valuable thing of use, but when a young person falls on a crack in the street and lands on their knees we are more apt to laugh at this person.

This is the situation in which society has found itself.

God had such a mind that when man lies on the beach, you can feel that you are lying in the bosom of your parent, or that when leaning against a tree you are leaning against your own brother.

Would nature protest you for living in this manner?

Or, would it sense that you truly love and appreciate it?  Did you know that all things exist for you?  When you observe it, you can take pleasure in them for that reason.  As a man, you are the only begotten son of the universe, and as a woman you are the only begotten daughter of the universe. Then how much love would be possible between the two?

How many songs and words of love have been given to the sun?  Even still, these poems and songs are superficial when compared to the truth of how much nature has given to humanity as a parent.

Love the entire nature as your parent

If nature is your first parent, your second parents are your own father and mother. They represent the universe and labored to bring your life into being.  They, too, gave of themselves in the process of creating you.

Our parents who are representatives of the universe gave us a physical life on this earth, thus we can feel that we are the center of the universe.  Isn't this what every toddler feels in retrospect?

Our parents represent more than just a father and mother.  They represent all of mankind, so when we honor and respect our parents, we are serving mankind, not just these two particular people.  Then when you love and respect your parents, you will be loved by all mankind.

This is the historical background each of us stands on to serve our parents as a filial son and daughter.  When you look at the dynamic of a family, it represents the microcosm of humanity: your sister represents all women, your brothers all men.  

A true person would treat every stranger and look at them in the same way as they do their own family members.  As a true man or woman, you would view every senior citizen as your own parent or grandparent.  You would see other young men and women as your own brothers and sisters.

If you are a true man, then you love not only your own family but also all mankind.

It is against the Principle to care only for your family and not the rest of the world. 

If you happen to be white, then it is a most exciting adventure to become a member of your black family, or to find senior citizens and young men and women whom you love as much as your own grandparents and brothers and sisters.

When you see someone who is in need of help, you want to help them not because they are a fellow man, but because you see them as a brother and sister.  In America, when our parents become old, do go to their childrens' home or to a senior citizens' home?

Which is the more ideal choice when looking at the ideal of the original creation?  Would a grandmother be happier to live where her grandchildren reside or be visited by them in a senior citizens' home?

Are you willing to accept your grandmother into your home?

Would you do it in reality, or are you only saying yes because you are here? As a new wife, would you rather go to live with your husband's family with many in-laws, or to live only with him?

If you want to live up to the public law of the universe, then you want to go live with his family.  American homes before the 50s consisted of grandparents, parents and grandchildren.  This is more like God's ideal.  Many answers to society's problem can be solved in a family of three generations.

Families now consist of barely both father and mother, grandparents live far away.  Grandparents represent the past, parents the present and children the future.  You have your own physical parents, but ultimately you have one most important parent who created you -- God.

Your parents were the instruments that God used to create you. 

Before we search for the original True Parents for humanity, we must first start by loving nature our first parent.  Then we love our physical parents and then we love the ultimate parent which is God our creator.  God is the ultimate destination and eternal Parent.

When we live our lives in the right way, we can't help but end up at the common Parent.  Then the moment of death which we all now fear, was actually meant to be a fulfillment like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon to live in the air.  God did not create this moment for sadness but for liberation to live with Him for eternity.  We were meant to live for eternity with our family and human brothers in sisters and God.  God is the True Parent to us all where His true love never ends.

This life with God is called the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven.

Why distinction?

Because the original world of creation was meant to begin with Heaven on Earth which we have called the Garden of Eden or Utopia.  In this world, the atmosphere would be supreme love, a love that is not self-centered, but based on sacrifice and service. Supreme love flourishes in this environment because it is based on the universal law.


Ideal Public Life

You must become people who can manage all things in a public manner. How do you handle the situation if all grains of rice in the world were to organize a demonstration against you because you eat a bowl of rice without gratitude or waste it.

What if creation had a strike and not go into the mouth of any human being because of not exhibiting love?

We should live a public life of gratitude.  When we eat, we should appreciate the grains of rice and think of it as becoming part of your bone, flesh and energy.  Grains of rice and a leaf of a vegetable are alive, so would they want to be part of a greedy person or one who serves the highest purpose?

Do you think grains of rice want to be eaten by evil people?

In fact, creation does protest those who do not follow the heavenly order.  One who is constantly angry or causes pain to others, the food would protest in his stomach or make him sick.  Isn't this the case?

Every grain of rice wishes to be eaten by good people. 

In other words, all things including humanity wishes to be a part of a public person.  What if the air decided to strike humanity and stop providing itself for five minutes?  Then the entire population of humanity would probably begin to obey its demands to love and have appreciation, wouldn't it?

If God decided that He was tired of waiting for humanity to love one another and wants to force their loyalty, He would definitely do so through sucking all of the air out of the earth.  Everyone in the world would surrender to God then - air is this precious.

The air is such a precious thing to all of you.

You hear people are saying that we must not pollute the air in urban areas. Of course, we must not pollute air. Your health will be affected if we don't clean the air. The same is true for water surrounding us. As you see, all created things are public goods.

We are told not to pollute the air or the water systems because it is a life sustainer.  This means that all of nature is for the public's use - not for one greedy individual.  Also, we enjoy the source of life which the sun provides.  The sun has unlimited value and does not demand for us to give anything in return.  What if we had to pay for the nourishment and illumination of the sunlight?

You would buy it even if you have to give your own life for it.  Humanity must not think of nature as it private possession from which to purchase.


What kind of person does God prefer?

God wants to see a person who has and lives for the public purpose.

One  who manages how they use the resources of nature from a public position.  Also, all things of creation loves such a person because this is the Heavenly logic and Heavenly law.  Isn't it true that people love public figures in society for this reason, but the moment they use public goods or funds or live a very self-centered life their life crumbles away from the public?

Therefore, a person who lives such a public life will never perish.  To become such a person, you should handle all things of creation publicly, deal with people from a public position and attend Heaven with a public attitude.

What if every person in society managed all things and people with a public mind?

When people who live a public life come together and form families, this would become the ideal world which God envisioned from the beginning of His model for creation.  It would become a new race of humanity centered on such public-loving families.  Thus, you must be such a person who lives this kind of public life.

We Cannot Deny God's Existence

Did the chicken or the egg come into being first?   A debate easily begins from this simple question. This actually fits in with the post today.  When one speaks about evolution, Darwinism, Creationism, Intelligent Design, it seems fitting to compare these theories to how an egg or chicken came into being.

Let's first look at the origin of the universe through the eyes of the Divine Principle.

Had Adam and Eve married with that genuine heart then their marriage would have been the marriage of God also. For example, the closer an object comes to your eyes, the less and less you see. Why? Because you are fusing into one with it.

Likewise, with God, you are already one with Him and so there is no need to see because you are no longer the object. When you were children did you ever taste the mucous from your nose? (Salty.) That means that you have tried it.

It does not seem dirty to you, because it is part of you and are totally one with it, not divided or separate.  Do you feel the atmospheric pressure which is a tremendous weight?  No, because we are one with it.

Do you know how many times you blink in one day?  It blinks thousands of times, but you are not aware of it because you are one with it. If you try to count how many times you blink it might drive you crazy. It is important that we do not care about these small details as it is a part of us.

If you feel your left chest, you can feel your heartbeat. Are we conscious of how many times our heartbeats in a day?  Even for a year, we do not notice our heart is beating.  But if one other person touches even just a strand of your hair, you feel it.  Then why can't we feel our heartbeat which is much stronger?  We are one with our heartbeat.  We are one with every aspect of ourselves.

God has all of the five senses and, like us, He does not feel them either. Just like us.

We all have love, life and lineage within us. We also have our conscience within us, don't we? Have we ever seen, heard or touched love and life? We may have seen a body filled with life, but we have not seen life itself. We cannot touch life either.

Can we see and touch our conscience? Even with our five senses we are unable to sense love, life and lineage. We cannot even see our own seed that goes to create a baby.

God is no different from us in this regard. Where is God?

This question also applies to love, life and lineage. We cannot see and feel them but, nevertheless, they all exist in a very real sense. God is part of us just as love, life and lineage are.

One can never experience love by one's self. 

Even though love exists within us we are unable to feel it by our own selves. God is the origin of love and the root of the love, life and lineage within me.

This we cannot deny.

God is within the root of our conscience, life, love and lineage. When we expand the love, life and lineage within us, then God will come to the surface.

How do we do that?

We can experience love and life when we invest our whole selves for the sake of others in a completely selfless way.  When we experience this total investment then we can come close to God.  This is why all religions teach sacrifice, humility and giving to others.

Religion and science both place the origin of the universe in different ways.  No matter what teaching denies it, the birth of the universe originated with God.  He invested everything of Himself for the sake of His creation.  The Big Bang Theory can be said to be God giving of Himself to all of creation.  The universe began with God's total investment.  For what did He invest everything?

God had one goal and that was to have a True Love partner: man and woman.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon has written several books about Evolution and Origin of the universe, here he speaks more on the wrong direction of this theory:

"God's partner of love is not a monkey. The evolution theory claims that we originate from monkeys. No matter how wonderful an amoeba might be, it cannot give rise to life that is in a higher form than itself. This is simply impossible unless somebody puts in additional power.

Do you think that the amoebae would be a more likely origin to creation, or the concept of plus and minus, male and female? (Plus and minus.) Even within the mineral kingdom there is the existence of motion. This implies that the plus and minus relationship is in existence; otherwise, motion cannot come into being.

And the amoebae came into being after that.

If there are 108 different kinds of elements, they cannot merge into one another. No matter how they may try, by themselves they simply cannot interact. Do you understand? Even the amoebae must have the plus and minus element within it.

Darwin tried to claim that an amoebae is neutral gender, but this is not so. For example, in the daytime there are both sunlight and shadow.

However, at high noon there is no shadow. It does not mean that shadow does not exist, it simply means that the shadow exists within a person's perimeter. In the same way, even though it may not be clearly visible within the amoebae as with other forms of creation, without the plus/minus concept, no living being exists. 

Certainly without the plus and minus element they cannot fuse together and give rise to a third being.

There are forty-seven differences in construction between a monkey and a man. Suppose we find the most handsome monkey in the whole of the ape kingdom, and we find the ugliest woman in the world and then everybody prays for them to produce offspring.

Do you think that they will produce new offspring?

No. Absolutely, forever no. Whatever gave Darwin the idea that man came from the monkeys? Different species maybe, but how can monkeys give rise to man?

The same family of vegetable kingdom or animal kingdom can give rise to offspring. But if they are different species they cannot reproduce. When you are sleeping with your husband together do you want a third party to come and intervene between you? (No.) Absolutely not.

Male and female elements can horizontally connect very closely, but they can never rise up vertically. Vertically means they cannot elevate their status.

The greatest flaw in Darwinism is the idea that different species can give rise to human beings.

What he tries to do is to deny the element of love in giving rise to the human beings. This is the most devastating thing, because love is the origin of mankind, not monkeys. Just because monkeys bear a physical similarity to man does not mean that a monkey is a man.

In perspective they may appear somewhat similar, but never in essence." SMM


How big is the aspiration of human beings?

God must have an object partner in which to relate who He wants to be greater than He is.  Since humans are God's object partner in love, He knew the need to give human beings limitless desire.  We must recognize this strong desire to be greater within each of us, this is the action of conscience.  Desire inherently is good.

"You can imagine your conscience as a large bag which you are able to put many things into. How big is your conscience bag? You can put God Himself into your conscience bag. Does that make your conscience bag full with no more room for anything else?

If your conscience bag becomes full, then you would like to put more in your other pockets. Once everything is absolutely full then you want to open your mouth and bring it in there. That much. No limit. Do you have that kind of greedy desire or not? (Yes, Father.)

There is no limit to your good greed. In Korean we say yokshim but there is no word that is equivalent in the English language. Greedy usually means something bad. But this means a good greed. Therefore you have to make up a word in English for this.

Such attributes of mankind began thousands of years ago when Adam and Eve were born. Do you think that during this time this has changed? (No.)

Scientists tell us that the universe is made up of energy.

Did energy suddenly arise without any prerequisite or is it generated? (Generated.) You have such immense love within you. Do you think that it suddenly rose up just like that?

In order for love to arise first your eyes have to meet the eyes of either your subject or object. Some kind of action occurs. Your five senses will further accelerate that action. It then explodes in the power of love. In order for power to occur is action necessary? (Yes.)

Before action occurs, first there has to be a subject and object in order for action to begin. Then action takes place and power occurs. The scientists say that before power there is action and prior to that there is an element of action, or subject and object.

The action of the conscience for example, means the conscience has to be touched off, as it were, or evoked. That means there is an action, which in turn means it must have a subject and object relationship. This is logical. Without this no action can take place.

Even if we may not have thought this way, we can now have it in our mind that subject and object has to be very much there before our conscience or our love is evoked. That is plus and minus centering upon God.

We cannot deny the existence of God when we observe the same trait from millions of years ago, flowing down in an unchanging way through mankind. It will eternally continue because there is a subject and object existing within the conscience. We therefore cannot deny that God is present there. Before we consider the theory of evolution, we understand the Principle of Creation.

We cannot deny or do away with God.

Within creation we can conclude that God must be present; within the subject and object relationship we can conclude that God must be present. Do you understand? That conscious action has been unchanging all throughout human history.

Therefore we cannot deny God. Looking at the root of love, life and lineage we also cannot deny God. [Father has drawn a diagram depicting all of this on the board.] Looking at this we cannot deny God.

Conscience is very much present, but we are not conscious of it all the time. God is the root of our conscience, our love, life and lineage. The philosophical concept of, "I think and so therefore I am" has given a great deal of confusion to mankind.


Did the Chicken or the Egg Come First?

We have eyes, [Father draws on the board] eyebrows, nose and mouth. (Laughter.) Before that eye came into being do you think the eye itself knew that there was an object for it to see? Do you think that eye knew that there would be air, sunlight, and dust? (Somebody knew.)

Not somebody, the eye itself?

The eye itself did not know these things. Why did the eye come into being? Eyes came into being in order to see things. Eyes are equipped to look at the sun. Even though the material eye is unaware, the creator behind that eye knows.

Is that true? (Yes.)

Did the somebody who knew come first or did the eye, not knowing, come first? (Somebody who knew.) That's right. Somebody knew that there would be dust and air and so the eyelashes were created, like a fine screen. Somebody knew that dust would exist. Also the eye is constantly bathed in liquid.

Therefore, somebody knew that there would be heat that would dry the eye and that it would need constant bathing in its own liquid. The eye did not know this.

Now we come to the solution of this age-old question: did the chicken come before the egg or vice versa? (Laughter.) Which came first, the entity or the concept? (Concept.) Concept came first. We also have eyebrows to prevent sweat rolling into our eyes.

Therefore it seems reasonable to conclude that somebody knew that there might be sweat on the face. Don't take everything for granted; every day when we wash our face let us give thanks to God. All the wondrous design of the human body God created. Remind yourself daily that God made everything with us and our comfort in mind.

With this evidence can we say that material came first? (No.) Why do you insist on denying it?

Because it is not true. How close is God to us? Knowing all of this we can see how close God is to each one of us.

God is the closest to each of us and that is why we don't feel Him. If we feel only thirty percent of love, life and lineage and our partner comes along with 100 percent of all of these, we naturally feel seventy percent lacking.

We should in fact not feel love until our subject or object appears. Until then we should be at zero point. Then 100 percent give and take can occur. We should not feel love when we are alone.

If God is alone He doesn't feel love. If man and woman are by themselves they also don't feel love. But when they meet each other, then suddenly God will jump like electricity because He feels 100 percent of love towards them.

Do you understand? (Yes.) With the sudden appearance of your spouse or your lover, then your heart pounds, you become short of breath and you perspire until you crash into one another. Thunder and lighting which involves water and electric current are symbolic of love between spouses. That's nature's love in action." SMM
