When human beings reach perfection, God’s internal nature enters the mind of man, and God’s external form enters the mind of woman. The substantial marriage ceremony for Adam and Eve becomes God’s marriage ceremony. You will know this clearly when you go to the spirit world. This incomprehensible theory is correct. So, where is God? Where can He be found in relation to the couple? He is in the womb. This is where God is found. This is where the root of love is. I have revealed, for the first time in history, the systematic arrangement of the spirit world and its composition. If you think about a royal palace of love, there is a royal palace in the spirit world and a royal palace on the earth. Where do these palaces make contact? That is the question. In other words, where do human beings and God meet? The sexual organs that bring the unity of true love are the original land. Since this is the original land, in terms of palaces, it becomes the original palace. This is the palace that God initiates, and it is the first thing He initiates. It is the original palace.

Global civilizations have been born on peninsulas. The most representative of those places is Rome. The features of the Mediterranean Sea look just like a conjugal relationship between a man and a woman. That is why today, even after two thousand years, Rome still has a position as a central world power. The Roman code of law in particular is wide- ly used. This explains how the saying “Civilization comes from Rome” came about. World unification should have begun from Rome, but Rome was unable to fulfill that mission. (229-69, 1992.4.9)

Section 2. Human Beings Have a Portion of Responsibility
2.1. The reason God gave us a portion of responsibility
Summary
When human beings fulfill their five percent portion of responsibility, they join with God’s ninety-five percent contribution to reach total perfection, completing God’s creation and allowing human beings to stand on an equal footing with God as His living embodiments of true love. Had Adam and Eve not fallen, this process would have occurred naturally and easily through adolescence, enabling God to live inside Adam’s heart as one body and connecting the realms of direct and indirect dominion without any separation. However, because the first ancestors failed, false love created a deep realm of death and expanded Satan’s control, making human responsibility much more difficult. Ultimately, true love is the central core needed to inherit God’s creation, and by manifesting absolute, eternal love to complete your responsibility, you completely remove any grounds for Satan to accuse you, forcing evil to retreat and securing your entry into the Kingdom of Heaven.
What would human beings who were in the position of having fulfilled their portion of responsibility be like? They would be like God. God contributes 95 percent towards humankind’s perfection. Human beings stand in the position where they reach the status of having achieved 100 percent perfection jointly with God. This means the fulfillment of human beings’ perfection and the perfection of God’s creation. Completing the great work of creation means, at the same time, the completion of God’s will, which in turn allows for the perfection of God Himself. This is the appropriate conclusion. (130-20, 1983.12.11)
Due to the sin of our first ancestors, who could not fulfill their portion of responsibility, the abyss, the deep realm of death was created. The domain of Satan’s love was expanded right to the boundary of Heaven and brought about a separation between the realms of direct and indirect dominion. (137-251, 1986.1.3)
If you complete your portion of responsibility, Satan, the devil, retreats. There is no one to accuse you. Unless we reach that standard, there will still be a condition for accusation so that even if we try to enter the Kingdom of Heaven we would not be allowed to do so. If there is a condition for accusation, you will not be able to enter. If you reach the standard of connecting to God’s love through manifesting absolute, unchanging, unique and eternal love, Satan has no grounds to accuse you. If you remain in such a position, Satan is unable to stay there. In maintaining that state, wherever you go, Satan will have to run away. (169-84, 1987.10.25)
If Adam and Eve had not fallen they would have harmonized with God, perfected themselves as His embodiments on earth and become the king and queen of love. They would have fulfilled the human portion of responsibility which connects the realms of direct and indirect dominion through God’s love. Then, God would have resided in Adam’s heart and the spirit of Adam would have become the body of God. They would have become one body. They would have shared and breathed the love of God and humankind eternally. (213-190, 1991.1.20)
Human beings are meant to fulfill their portion of responsibility so that they can stand on an equal footing with God in giving and receiving true love – that is, equal love. They would become the center, standing in the same position, giving and receiving from that position. (119-125, 1982.7.11)
If human beings had not fallen, fulfilling their portion of responsibility would have been easy. They would have grown up, passed through adolescence naturally, and easily fulfilled their portion of responsibility. This would have happened naturally and without difficulty. Our portion of responsibility became difficult due to false love. Then, what is the center of our portion of responsibility? God fulfills ninety-five percent of the total responsibility while human beings only have to fulfill five percent to inherit the great work of God’s creation. Then, what is the center for inheriting this? It is true love. (124-94, 1983.1.30)
