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.
The fulfillment of our portion of responsibility is to unite the earthly and spiritual worlds, to unite mind and body. The vertical God and the horizontal True Parents are one. The goal is unified love, the love that connects heaven and earth, the love in which body and mind are one, and in which man and woman are one. Having built the foundation of a unified love, then the love, life and lineage of God can be connected to that point for the first time. And when that is expanded and developed horizontally in all directions, the right of kingship is created. This is a straightforward matter. (218-124, 1991.7.14)
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. Man and woman were born for the sake of love. They were created to have both vertical and horizontal relationships. By fulfilling their portion of responsibility, the vertical owner of love comes into being and then the horizontal owner can come into being. This is accomplished through true love. (218-136, 1991.7.14)
When Adam and Eve fulfill their portion of responsibility God becomes the vertical being in relation to them, and Adam and Eve become horizontal beings. They are united through true love. In this way, the vertical is joined for the first time with the horizontal and the point of their union becomes the foundation to implant the root of love. Unless this happens, this axis cannot stand correctly. If the ideology upholding the Messiah and upholding parents becomes the axis, what do you think will happen? When they unite with that axis they will multiply automatically. Then the love, life and lineage of God will become firmly fixed for eternity. (218-136, 1991.7.14)
The portion of responsibility is directed firstly at becoming true children. Secondly, at becoming true siblings. Thirdly, at becoming true couples. Fourthly, at becoming true parents. You are born as babies and then become children, siblings, couples and parents. As parents you can create children on behalf of God. You will experience, spiritually and physically, the reality of God’s happiness at the time He created Adam and Eve. Do you realize how precious that is? (225-126, 1992.1.5)
The realm of the victory of True Parents comes respectively on the individual, family, national, world and cosmic levels and then on the level of God’s true love. Next is the realization of the unified ideal where all of these things come into oneness through true love. God is the owner of true love and through this love everything is connected. Through the realization of ideal oneness, God’s love connects to the unified ideal. No family or individual is separated. Having achieved the unified ideal, the spirit and physical worlds become one. When the restored Adam and Eve acquired the right of the first son the spirit world has to follow the earth. This must be done, based on love, through true love. In terms of the Principle, it means to fulfill the human portion of responsibility. (212-137, 1991.1.2)
