You enter the spirit world without money. Take care of Satan’s children. Each of you is to look after more than 120 people. The Kingdom of Heaven lost all its citizens. By engrafting them, we establish a condition for them not to be lost.
In order to go through the twelve pearly gates in the spirit world, you must, while on earth, recover the citizens of heaven from Satan. To do so, you must shed tears, sweat and blood. With the heart of true love for re-creation, invest your heart more than that of the fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, and sons and daughters of the satanic world, and bring about that transitional process by shedding your tears, sweat and blood. Without doing so, you cannot claim any heavenly citizens as your own. In proportion to this number, the conditions for your position of glory and your proximity to God in the other world will be established. (211-352, 1991.1.1)

It was fourteen years after the liberation of Korea that I received Mother. It was in 1960. Why was it fourteen years? It was because our first ancestors fell at the completion level of the growth stage when they were still passing through their second seven-year course; they fell in the very end of this seven-year course, before the beginning of the third seven-year course. Therefore, according to the principle of restoration through indemnity, I settled in Korea through a course of fourteen years of persecution, built the altar called the Unification Church, and chose Mother and raised her to this position while battling the established churches and the nation of South Korea. From that point, when Mother was chosen and designated to her position, God’s providence could settle on earth for the first time. (143-178, 1986.3.18)

Section 1. The Realms of Indirect and Direct Dominion
1.2. The realm of direct dominion
Summary:
Fulfilling your human portion of responsibility allows you to move from the indirect dominion into the direct dominion of God’s love, where your heart becomes completely one with His. In this direct dominion, vertical and horizontal love connect to create a pure divine lineage that completely locks out Satan and allows you to travel freely between the physical and spirit worlds. Because the fallen world has struggled to reach this state, it desperately needs True Parents, who have already completed their responsibility, overcome the Fall, and established a perfect foundation of absolute love. When families follow this path and unite with God’s love, heavenly fortune is set in motion and the Kingdom of Heaven automatically appears on earth. Ultimately, entering the direct dominion means belonging entirely to God’s heart and living under His perfect, eternal guidance where no evil can ever interfere.
Humankind’s portion of responsibility means to pass through the realm of indirect dominion and enter the direct dominion of God’s love. You must enter the realm where God’s heart and your heart become one centering on God’s love in order to pass freely between the earthly and spirit worlds. Once you establish a horizontal position that can represent the vertical Parent centering on God’s love, Satan is eliminated. That is the realm of direct dominion. The situation is problematic because you have not yet passed beyond the realm of the human portion of responsibility. (185-126, 1989.1.3)
What is most needed in the fallen world are the True Parents who have gone beyond the realm of the Fall. According to the Principle, they are the ones who have completed their portion of responsibility and have transcended that sphere. They have entered the realm of direct dominion, having left the realm of indirect dominion. What is the realm of direct dominion? It is a world united in love. At this stage, the other master cannot appear. This is absolute. If you are completely united in love you will not follow two masters. God Himself does not desire to see another master and neither does humankind. Achieving this stage establishes an eternal foundation. If this is extended to a family, a tribe, a people and a nation, then the heavenly fortune will rotate centered on that axis of love. (149-154, 1986.11.21)
On the foundation of having fulfilled your portion of responsibility centered on God, you can become united with His love and heavenly fortune is set in motion. Once this starts who can knock it off its course? Satan will not even be able to show his face. If this kind of foundation is made, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth will automatically appear. (149- 172, 1986.11.21)
You pass through the realm of dominion based on accomplishments through the Principle and by fulfilling your portion of responsibility as a human being you are connected in love. You thereby enter the realm of direct dominion. Then, the vertical dispensation can be realized horizontally and horizontal dispensation can be realized vertically. If you push it down, it becomes horizontal and if you pull it, it becomes vertical. That is why you can have dominion vertically and horizontally. (193-217, 1989.10.4)
When the perfect love of God manifests, Satan cannot appear. That comes with the completion of one’s portion of responsibility. When that is fulfilled, a connection of love is made between the realms of indirect and direct dominion. This is where vertical and horizontal love is connected. When that occurs, relations based on God’s lineage and flesh and blood are formed through that vertical and horizontal love. A lineage is born. Satan cannot interfere with that lineage which is initiated through the love of God, through the connection with vertical and horizontal love. There is no connection with Satan. Thus, in order to inherit the heart of God, you must inherit the pure original lineage centered on the love of God. That is the issue. (173-285, 1988.2.21)
Only with the love of ideal parents will the realm of the direct dominion and the fulfillment of humankind’s portion of responsibility converge. (137- 254, 1986.1.3)
Fulfilling one’s portion of responsibility applies in both the realm of dominion based on accomplishments through the Principle and in the realm of direct dominion. On that basis you become one in love and enter directly into the realm of God’s governance. To enter into the realm of direct dominion means to belong to the realm of God’s heart.

Does being in the Direct Dominion mean that you no longer have to fulfill your portion of responsibility?

That’s a really interesting way to look at it – it makes sense that those who truly fulfilled their obligations would be vital in a broken world.
