In pursuing fundamental problems, I thought a great deal about where on earth the realm of oneness of God and humankind would be. This is a very important question. If it were not answered, the starting point and the final destination would not be in accord. In the pursuit of this question, an awakening like a flashing thunderbolt came to me: that true love passes through the shortest route. That one realization solved everything. If heaven and earth were connected through true love, it would be through the shortest distance. In other words, there is only one perpendicular. It is always at ninety degrees to the horizontal. That is the shortest possible distance. (250-153, 1993.10.14)

The path through which everyone can pass through the door of the Blessing and come together in one place should be opened for all people of faith, even if they live at the very ends of the earth. Such is the significance of the Unification Church’s large weddings: by forging global connections through the 430 Couples, it has developed into a worldwide race of people. It is not just for Koreans. The fact that I connected the 430 Couples to the 43 Couples on the foundation of the family on the world level signifies the birth of a new race transcending ethnicity and nationality. That is how I see it. (100-171, 1978.10.14)

Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity
Chapter 4
The Course of Indemnity and Our Life
Section 1. The Way of Restoration Is the Inevitable Course for Humankind
1.1. Restoration through indemnity is the way of re-creation
Summary:
Indemnity is essential for spiritual re-creation because humans were born with a fallen nature 🔄 caused by Adam’s disbelief, ego, and self-centered love. Walking the path of indemnity willingly—even through suffering or hardship—is the only way to reverse the Fall, restore our original status before God, and achieve true salvation ✨.
The concept of indemnity is necessary for the sake of re-creation. That is why we need indemnity for re-creation. Indemnity is essential in order to be re-created as an original human being. Only when an original human being appears will other persons appear who can go the original way of God’s will. So, are you the original people? No. You are of the fallen blood. Therefore, you must be re-created through indemnity. (133-69, 1984.7.8)
How did Adam fall? He fell due to his disbelief. Disbelief was the primary reason. Next, Adam fell because he asserted himself. He put himself, his ego in the center of everything. Adam fell because he took a self-centered position. Next, Adam demanded a realm of self-centered love. These are the three major elements of the Fall: disbelief, self-assertion or self-centeredness, and finally dreams of self-centered love. These are the footholds of Satan. The fallen angels were like this. (126-34, 1983.4.10)
Why am I giving you a suffering course? It is because you have to go the way of indemnity. I, too, intend to walk the way of indemnity my whole life. I am not reluctant to do it. One should walk this path willingly. You must understand that. Even when I go to prison, I do it willingly. I have to go there for the sake of indemnity. If I complain, my actions cannot be considered as indemnity. (13369, 1984.7.8)
The way of indemnity is necessary for us. In order to save this world, you walk the way of indemnity. Even though Jesus was born as the original son of God, he still needed to go the way of indemnity in order to save this world. Since the world could not do so, and since the people who were supposed to go the way of indemnity opposed him, Jesus himself had to walk that path and had no choice but to take responsibility. (133-69, 1984.7.8)
The way of restoration requires you to cut your way through in the direction opposite to that of the Fall. Walking the way of indemnity is a basic rule for fallen people. Unless you surmount this path, you cannot restore your original status. Therefore, you must clean up yourselves. You must possess a sound theoretical system explaining how to restore the individual, family, tribe, ethnic people, nation, and world. (God’s Will 354)
