Do you know why I have proclaimed tribal messiahship to both Korea and the world? It is because I have returned to Korea and have now connected Korea to all the nations. Imagine the mobilization of spirits in the spirit world, whose eyes are wide open in anticipation of liberation and who are saying that it’s the right time to return to earth to indemnify thousands or tens of thousands of years of history. So if I do not lay down all these bridges to connect the spirit world to earth, would that be right? Because everything has collapsed, there is no place for me to stand. In order to create a place, I had to send out Blessed Families as tribal messiahs and have them set up three-generation ancestral standards: perfection of Jesus, perfection of oneself, and perfection of Adam. This foundation created an environment upon which I could stand. This is why I have proclaimed tribal messiahship. The unification of North and South Korea does not just happen automatically. It is possible only after all these things are tied together. Since all these things are connected to the family level and the tribal level, they will then bond to the national level, and the Unification Church and the government should then become one.

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 964 Book 6 • Our Life and the Spiritual Realm 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.

Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity
Chapter 1
Fundamentals of Indemnification and the Principle of Restoration
Section 1. The Realms of Indirect and Direct Dominion
1.2. The realm of direct dominion
Summary:
The realm of direct dominion is absolutely necessary because it is the only place where we can connect to God’s love, which is the essential foundation required to inherit the universe from Him. True Father emphasizes that he did not invent these spiritual concepts or terms on a whim, but rather discovered them through a lifetime of extreme hardship, prison, and persecution that only God could fully understand. Once we receive the Blessing and enter this higher dimension, denying it is a terrifying sin worse than Satan’s fall, meaning members must faithfully establish a strict heavenly tradition. To cross over from the indirect dominion into this new dimension, men and women must reach spiritual maturity by loving God first above all else, which fulfills their human portion of responsibility. Ultimately, living in this direct dominion means directly sensing True Parents in daily life and bubbling over with so much joyful emotion that we can instantly feel the character of others and experience the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Why is the realm of direct dominion necessary? Without entering the realm of direct dominion, we cannot connect in love to God. If this love is not linked to us, we cannot inherit the universe from God. Inheritance is only possible based on love. Thus, all nations and all families try to bequeath things to their children based on a relationship of love. That is the Principle. (135-324, 1985.12.15)
The words “portion of responsibility” appeared first in Father’s era. Some might say, “The terms ‘realm of indirect dominion’ and ‘realm of direct dominion’ were invented by Rev. Moon to suit his own teaching because he is smart.” If so, then why would I go through hardships? If I had made this up on a whim, why would I suffer as I have throughout my life, going in and out of prison? Do not even think of saying that. If I had made it up, why would I not be able to take it easy? I could have taken a much easier path, so why would I sacrifice my youth, a period comparable to a flower in bloom, wearing ragged clothes and living like this? It makes no sense that I would have made this up. Before coining these terms, I knew there was something beyond and that is why I voluntarily went the way of death and persecution. Who in the world likes the way of persecution? Only God could understand these circumstances. (139-247, 1986.1.31)
To deny the Blessing after you have received it is to do worse than Satan. Satan will accuse you. This is the same as entering into the realm of direct dominion and then falling. You have not known this, but I am telling you that this principle, the law of Heaven, is operating. Thus, you must do well. The important thing is how all of you are going to establish the heavenly tradition. (128-110, 1983.6.5)
The world of attendance is not the obscure place you might imagine. You have to feel Father and Mother directly in your daily life and with your spirit. If you feel deeply moved in your heart and you are bubbling over with joyful emotion and stimulation, you are already living in the Kingdom of Heaven. If you reach that state, on meeting someone you can immediately intuit whether he has good or bad character. You will discover that you have entered a realm of direct dominion of unimaginably high dimension. This is the Principle perspective. You should live in this way. (78- 35, 1975.5.1)
You must fulfill your portion of responsibility so that you can connect the realms of indirect and direct dominion. In order to fulfill their portion of responsibility both man and woman must reach maturity.
What does the perfection of man and woman mean? It means that they only know the perfect God in the Garden of Eden. They must love God first. Then, man can think of woman second and woman can think of man second. You must become that kind of person. When you do and when you have completed your portion of responsibility, you cross from the realm of indirect dominion into the realm of direct dominion. You enter into a new dimension.
