Man and Woman are the Concentrated Nucleus of Heaven and Earth

When a husband and wife are united through true love the entire universe is involved.

    If a young grandchild comes home and asks in a bossy voice, “Hey, where did Grandpa and Grandma go?” how would you feel? Is it proper for him to demand, as soon as arrives, and in front of his mother and father and his brothers and sisters, to know, “Where are Grandpa and Grandma?” This is improper because he is speaking in an impolite manner. Here the grandparents are now over eighty years old, and this little brat audaciously stands firm in front of his father and mother and elder brothers and elder sisters, who are superior to him, demanding to know, “Where have Grandpa and Grandma gone?” Would any of them be shocked and scold him saying, “Where are your manners?”
    Why do you think this happens? Normally, if someone did the same thing in another situation, you would scold him or her saying, “How can you treat Grandpa like this?” But if the grandchild stands firm and asks again, you will be pleased. You will reply, “Okay, okay, so you want to see your grandfather, do you?” When he asks where his grand- father is, is he asking for rice cakes or some food? What does he have on his mind? He misses his grandfather. So is it good or bad to miss him? It is a good thing!

    With regard to the mainstream ideologies of the world today, conceptualism and realism have become the two mainstreams of the philosophical world, giving rise to the conflict between theism and materialism, right and left wings, which has inflicted great damage on the world. Left-wing ideology, in particular, has attained world- wide supremacy through evolutionary theory. What comes first: the existence of man and woman or the existence of love? Before there was man and woman, there existed the concept of love. Since love preexisted them, man and woman were created to be prepared for it, that is, to be in accord with the concept of love. Hence, conceptualism and realism are not separate. What communism did not know was that conceptualism and realism can be unified through love in such a manner. (228-162, 1992.3.27)

Section 3. Fulfilling Our Portion of Responsibility

3.2. Perfection is a family that has unified heaven and earth

Summary:
By fulfilling their portion of responsibility, human beings connect God’s vertical love with a husband and wife’s horizontal love, uniting the mind, body, earth, and spirit world on a central axis of true love. This growth process guides individuals step-by-step to become true children, siblings, couples, and finally parents who share in God’s original joy of creation. Once this unified love expands across every level—from the individual to the entire cosmos—God’s eternal love, life, and divine lineage are permanently established, bringing the spiritual and physical realms together as one.

True Father Volunteered to Go the Way of Indemnity

And walked the path along which he fulfilled his portion of responsibility in order to open the way through which all of humankind could be liberated.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 837

    In the spirit world, if you have an upright relationship with God, you will fit perfectly wherever you go, to the north, south, east, and west. Any society comprising many associations, and having so many different characteristics…. How many people are here in this room? If there are five hundred, then there are five hundred types of people. Everyone is different, right? In the spirit world, people of similar nature come together in groups. This occurs more precisely than if it was arranged by a computer. You can tell your own disposition just by walking past others. Within a week, you will be able to see through everything, behind everyone and even into the inner reaches of a person’s secret world. Words are not necessary. You can sense what a person’s heart is trying to tell you. It is an all-knowing world, like a grandfather computer. (211-244, 1990.12.30)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 963

    To this day, no one has been registered into the heavenly kingdom. The kingdom did not have a nation. It did not have a family or nation. When you go to the spirit world, your parents, and – if there are ten people in your family – all ten of your family members would be separated. However, from now on it will not be that way. You should know that originally, if human beings had not fallen, heaven would be the place where you enter with your mother, father and clan.
    If your grandparents, mother and father, couple, and children, become one based on true love, and inherit God’s true love that lives for others, then even God would be absolutely obedient to that. In the world that strives to live for others – a world that moves according to the love that submits to the tradition of living for others – the basis for peace would surely emerge even if it resisted being formed.

Section 3. Fulfilling Our Portion of Responsibility

3.1. Freedom from the portion of responsibility in relation to restoration

Summary:
Restoration through indemnity creates the environment needed for humanity to fulfill its portion of responsibility and overcome Satan by choosing to love God and humanity selflessly. Because Adam and Eve failed their original responsibility, all of humanity and the spirit world became trapped in suffering, causing God continuous anguish throughout history. To resolve this, True Father voluntarily endured extreme suffering and indemnity to fulfill this responsibility on a global scale and open the door to liberation. Through this sacrifice, the right of ownership can be reclaimed from Satan and returned to God, establishing a world of peace and true love on earth.

Today, God Can Teach Us Directly

We have been waiting for the emergence of a central figure.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1804

    The hope of humankind is to remove the mask of the Fall, which refers to the lineage that was changed. What is the fall of the lineage? That refers to man and woman engaging in an illicit sexual relationship. Centering on whom? Satan.
    If we ask whether Adam and Eve gave birth to sons and daughters before or after the Fall, nobody would say they gave birth before the Fall. Who took responsibility for their marriage for the sake of those sons and daughters? God cannot take responsibility for people whom He drove out. There is no doubt the marriage was conducted by Satan the devil.
    Thus, Satan occupied the place, where God would have entered Adam’s mind and where Adam and Eve would have fulfilled their conjugality, and planted his lineage there. Didn’t they conceal their sexual parts after the Fall? If they had eaten with their mouths, they would have concealed their mouths and hands, but they did not do so. Those sexual parts became the basis of lineal resentment. (302-220, 1999.6.14)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1262

    What! You think the Fall was brought about by eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil? This fruit refers to the sexual organ of a woman. When a woman meets a good husband, she becomes a good mother, but if it meets with an evil husband, she becomes an evil mother. There is no one who can logically deny what the founder of the Unification Church is saying. The mind and body are in constant conflict because history began with a conflict of love between the husband and wife. You cannot deny this logically. (267-240, 1995.1.8)

Section 3. Fulfilling Our Portion of Responsibility

3.1. Freedom from the portion of responsibility in relation to restoration

Summary:
If Adam and Eve had fulfilled their original portion of responsibility, humanity would have naturally lived under divine family ethics directly guided by True Parents, who would have been on earth in the person of Adam and Eve, free from the burden of restoration. Instead, True Parents had to endure a grueling indemnity course across every level—from individual to cosmos—by loving their enemies and standing above self-centered love. Restoration through indemnity is logical and unavoidable because it exists to separate us from Satan, eliminate his right to accuse, and restore the original, free environment where the human portion of responsibility can finally be accomplished. Therefore, True Father endured worldwide opposition to clear this path on a global scale, showing that members must maintain a total separation from the satanic world in order to cross the borderline into absolute spiritual freedom.

Eve’s role in Restoration Has Been Especially Harsh

The course of women in human history has been a miserable.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 671

    In the face of death, Jesus cried out, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.” Even as he died, he did not protest to God, but was ready to offer a greater sacrifice without question because his will was great for the sake of God’s will. Jesus’ attitude brought him to a closer position to God because it enabled him to go deeper. In front of such a per- son, God is melted. Whoever would strike such a person would be instantly destroyed. God would personally punish that person. Hence it is said, “Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.”

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1435

    There are conditions to be met in order to pass into the Kingdom of Heaven. You cannot enter it unless you have a family of your own. As long as you are the sons and daughters of God, you have missions to fulfill. After fulfilling those missions, you are destined to meet True Parents in the world of eternity. If you do not complete this formula, it is not possible to meet them. When you are blessed, the gates to the Kingdom of Heaven are opened before you, but you cannot just walk in like that. First, you need to do everything according to True Father’s instructions and be registered in the position of having completed the mission of tribal messiahs. (250-112, 1993.10.12)

2.2. The consequences of failing to fulfill our portion of responsibility

Summary:
Fallen humanity did not just fail their five percent portion of responsibility, but effectively damaged ninety-seven percent of the entire creation, making the path of restoration a difficult process of complete re-creation through suffering and indemnity. Because this responsibility remains unfulfilled, God’s heart has been filled with bitter grief throughout history, and numerous spiritual and physical walls were created that must now be broken down. Throughout history, women have endured an exceptionally miserable and painful path to restore the position of Eve, whose name in Korean reflects the task to restore what was lost and return, unlike Adam whose name evokes the barriers created by their failure. Ultimately, fallen human beings must overcome this peak of deep pain by setting up indemnity conditions, completing liberation, and finally fulfilling their original human responsibility so that history’s sorrow can come to an end.

Satan Appeared as Another Parent

You must know this clearly.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1203

    America was born from Britain, so it is in the son’s position. Before becoming an archangel, the son is in the position of Abel. When the son is born, he has the right of the eldest son. Since he has this right, he must become the first son on God’s side and in this capacity he must attend a mother on God’s side, but this position was lost. When the island nation of Britain separated from Rome, it was in the position of archangel before it received the position of Eve. It was in the position of the restored archangel rather than the fallen archangel. It was in the position of Abel. America must become a nation able to inherit the right of the eldest son so that it can accomplish restoration through indemnity. (138-308, 1986.1.24)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 837

   You should not stain your Blessing lineage. All of you should be fully aware of this. Your lineage is your asset that will enable you to succeed to and inherit heaven. It is like a document of your blood relatives, or deed papers to your lineage. It is the equivalent of your genealogy. The issue is how you protect your purity. (263-62, 1994.8.16)

2.2. The consequences of failing to fulfill our portion of responsibility

Summary:
In the Unification Church, the concept of “our portion of responsibility” is deeply significant because human beings have not yet fulfilled it, causing the entire world, history, and all past, present, and future generations to be trapped in a realm of bitter misfortune under evil sovereignty. The realm of Satan began precisely because Adam and Eve failed to fulfill their responsibility through self-centered love, making them a fallen root that passed this failure down as another parent to all human descendants. Because humanity fell below the line of responsibility, God has had to endure a long, painful path of suffering while waiting for us to bridge the gap and raise ourselves back up. Ultimately, good sovereignty exists above the fulfillment of human responsibility, meaning humankind must exert every effort to overcome Satan’s domain and restore what was lost.
