Where is the base of love? The base of love is not me. The word love must be used in reciprocal terms. No matter how handsome a man may be, if he has no partner, he is stuck because he cannot love alone.
The base of love is not me. “Love comes from me” are words that Satan has been using. I am not the base of love. You may think that you are the base of love, but there will be no progress in the future unless such a mindset is totally dismantled and transformed.
Until now, wives have put themselves at the center, and husbands have put themselves at the center, with both wanting to be served. This has been destroying relationships. Since the basis of love does Book 4 • True Family464 not come from me, but from my spouse, if I am to possess that love, I must sacrifice myself for that love. Love requires patience and absolutely demands sacrifice. With this viewpoint, there is no place in the cosmos, other than on earth, where we can defeat Satan. God is holding tightly onto love because it can be found only in accordance with the God-centered principle of love. The word compassion (jabi) cannot be expressed in the absence of love. The word benevolence (in) also cannot stand on its own. The words jabi and in are all used only in reciprocal terms. (46-35, 1971.7.18)

The person to whom Jesus comes and directly guides and dwells within calls himself “Jesus.” Seeing only this, a person thinks that Jesus is born again in him, which gives rise to the theory of reincarnation. You must understand such a spirit world well.
People who are supposed to live in God’s direct dominion of goodness live instead in the fallen dominion, and thus must escape from the evil dominion. This is why such things happen. Jesus did it spiritually. So did Christianity.

The Internal Meaning of Sin and the Fall
Section 1. The Fall Means the Father’s Place was Taken by Another
1.2. If the Fall had not occurred
Summary:
Had Adam and Eve not fallen, they would have established the original royal family 👑 of the heavenly kingdom, connecting humanity directly to God’s lineage 🌳. In this ideal design, God serves as the absolute vertical Parent ↕️ and grandfather 👴 of love, while Adam and Eve act as horizontal parents ↔️ who physically bring forth children 👨👩👧👦 in all directions. This three-generation structure—consisting of God, parents, and children—creates a complete, spherical foundation 🌐 where God can dwell permanently on Earth as the ultimate source of true love, kingship, and family life.
If Adam and Eve had not fallen, then the children of the God-centered direct lineage of Adam would have appeared. Adam was the firstborn son, the True Father and the king. He was to be the king of the earthly and heavenly worlds, as well as the True Parent and the true eldest son. Thus, Adam’s family was the royal family of the heavenly kingdom. Then, who was the grandfather in Adam’s family? God was the grandfather. The father and mother were Adam and Eve. From the viewpoint of positions representing the past, the grandfather and grandmother stand in the place of God; and God stands as the Parent.
Looking from the vertical perspective, we can say that God settles in a family consisting of three generations. The first generation is represented on the horizontal plane by a grandfather, the second generation by a father, and the third generation by a son. Thus, the royal family that lasts for myriad of generations starts from sons and daughters. (218-255, 1991.8.19)
The right of true parents, the right of the true king and queen and the right of true eldest son and daughter were supposed to begin with Adam and Eve. God’s palace and His love would have been in that family. Humankind and the Creator would be joined as one, thus forming the basis for true love. That would be the family foundation of the perfected original Adam, the palace of God where He could dwell forever. (218189, 1991.7.28)
What kind of God does the Unification Church speak about? We say that He is the vertical Parent of true love. Then, who are Adam and Eve? The vertical Parent is one. The word “vertical” implies that He is only one. The relationship of love between God and human beings is a vertical one. That vertical love is the center. Then, who are Adam and Eve? In relation to this vertical standard they represent the position of horizontal parents. (189-113, 1989.2.5)
Why was the horizontal dimension necessary? It was necessary for the sake of reproduction. There cannot be reproduction on a vertical basis. Reproduction is necessary and it occurs on a horizontal foundation. Reproduction occurs on the horizontal place through 360 degrees, covering an infinite number. In order to begin reproduction in all four directions: north, south, east and west and thus create a spherical form adjusted to a vertical axis, God created Adam and Eve who assumed bodily form on the basis of God’s love. (187-115, 1989.2.5)
All parents come from Adam and Eve. All forefathers of humankind come from them. The true husbands and wives of humanity originate in Adam and Eve. Through Adam and Eve, sons and daughters were born for the first time. Moreover, the parent-child relationship of God with His sons and daughters also began from Adam and Eve. (188-214, 1989.2.26)
