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)

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)

Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity
Chapter 1
Fundamentals of Indemnification and the Principle of Restoration
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.
If Adam and Eve had fulfilled their portion of responsibility their descendants would not have been burdened with the responsibility for restoration. They would have entered into an era of family ethics that would have been like sovereign law. True Parents would have been on earth on the same horizontal plane at that time and they would have been able to teach everyone instantly. However, until today, although God could move through 360 degrees on that same level plane, He could not teach us directly and we have been waiting for the emergence of a central figure. That is why difficulties arose. You must understand things like this clearly. (136-316, 1985.12.29)
The True Parents had to pass through an indemnity course on the level of the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world and cosmos. Love is restored by separating from Satan and by fulfilling man’s portion of responsibility that was lost because of him. Satan cannot invade those who love their enemies and love their enemies’ countries. But that does not work with self-centered love. Satan began to love centered on himself; we cannot counter this with a love that is centered on ourselves. (137-113, 1985.12.24)
Restoration through indemnity exists to create a realm where you are free from having to fulfill the portion of responsibility. It exists to restore the original environment where you are free from having to fulfill your portion of responsibility. This is logical. I am also wrapped up in this responsibility. That is why I receive worldwide opposition. I receive persecution and an attacked on the world level. By undergoing this worldwide persecution, I can separate myself from Satan on the world level. (148-199, 1986.10.9)
Restoration through indemnity cannot be avoided. Why do we have to go the course of restoration through indemnity? Why do we need to separate from Satan? It is because we need to fulfill the original portion of responsibility and build the foundation for a free environment. Then, Satan cannot accuse us and we will come to stand upon a base where Satan cannot have any relationship with us. That is why restoration through indemnity and fulfilling our portion of responsibility cannot be avoided, logically speaking. That is why we must separate from Satan. Thus, we must have the thinking that even if we are going without meals we will have no relationship with the satanic world. That is the dividing point, the borderline. (148204, 1986.10.9)
