Those who have completed restoration through indemnity, raise your hands. You no-goods! You fickle scoundrels! You ought to be beaten with a club; you have to be cursed! You should by struck by lightning! If you haven’t done it, even I cannot help you. I taught you everything clearly. The spirit world is transformed according to what I say. If you go there without doing that, you’ll be trapped. No matter how much husband and wife say they have loved their children, when they go to the spirit world that will all stop.
    Just as paradise has emerged in the spirit world, for the families in the Unification Church there will be a paradise where they stay before entering the Kingdom of Heaven. You won’t even be able to love there. How can you love each other? You won’t be able to love your own child, no matter how much you may want to. What will you do? Even though wives may tell their husbands, “You used to love me, so why do you act differently after coming here?” husbands won’t be able to love them. You won’t be able to love. In the position you are in, you are not supposed to love. (148-168, 1986.10.8)

    Today is November 5 in the second year of Cheon Il Guk, the forty-third True Children’s Day. We have brought together God’s Day, Children’s Day and the Day of All Things to announce the era of equalization for peace and unity centered on Cheon Il Guk which was not achieved in the family in the Garden of Eden. This era can bring to a conclusion the perfection of the family of Eden centered on humanity that expands to the heavenly world.
    After the completion of the Holy Burning Ceremony for the Peace, Unity and Liberation of Heaven and Earth, we are now in an age when God can freely and easily visit each family and live together with them in joy. I fervently pray that You bless us so that we can be in the same sphere of life. The hopes of the heavenly world can be found on earth and the hopes of the earthly world can be found in heaven. May the hopes of heaven and earth become one, forming a standard where the two are in balance. May the liberated path of loyalty and filial piety remain, and may the ancestors centered on heaven remain on earth.
    Today I have announced the arrival of Era of Equalization for Peace and Unity in Cheon Il Guk. We have now entered an age when we can build and officially create the initial stage of the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, let the anguish of the spirit world be dissolved and let the ancestors come down to earth to assist their descendants. Let the heads of denominations cooperate within this world through their followers. May they be free to take action in completely resolving and fully unblocking any unrighteous thing that had given concern to Heaven. (396-158, 2002.11.5)

Summary:

The only way to leave a lasting legacy in history is by living an unselfish life of sacrifice for the sake of others, just as all great saints and patriots have done throughout time. God’s ultimate love extends to everyone from the past, present, and future—even working to rescue spirits from hell—and anyone who mirrors this selflessness will naturally become a true leader. While selfish living leads to nothing, the philosophy of living for others will inevitably become the guiding hope for the world in the twenty-first century and beyond. Ultimately, global unification and the healing of the world cannot be achieved through force, money, or knowledge, but only through true love and the practice of living for the benefit of others.

Section 3. A Life of Living with True Love

3.1. Living for the sake of others

    What achievements can we leave behind in history as our tradition? Only those achievements that were attained through living an altruistic life with the spirit of sacrifice have survived in this world to this day. Such people have been remembered as saints, historical figures, and patriots. Only with such a spirit of sacrifice does our legacy survive. Hence, you should know that only by living a life of sacrifice can you leave behind a worthy legacy. (82-239, 1976.1.31)

    God’s love is to love not only all the things of creation and all humankind but all the people of the past, present, and future. Therefore, God is working to liberate even the spirits of people who have passed into hell. Human beings must go the way of truth, life, and love. No matter how great you may be, if you do not have a foundation of living for the sake of others, nothing will follow you. On the other hand, someone who lives for the sake of others will naturally become the subject being. He will become a person of true life. (133-30, 1984.7.1)

    The reason True Parents’ ideas will emerge in the twenty-first century as the mainstream thought is because they oppose the “live for myself” model in favor of the “live for others” philosophy that I have discovered. From a logical point of view, it is inevitable that the world will go in this latter direction. That is why the only hope resides with the Unification Church. Tens of thousands of years after the twenty-first century, the world will follow the ideal of living for the sake of others, rather than the live-for-myself philosophy. People will not follow or like the live-for-myself way of thinking. (169-88, 1987.10.25)

    How is unification possible? How will I accomplish unification? Through physical aggression? By force? With money, power, or knowledge? Everything is solved at the point of living for others, based on true love. The conclusion is simple, isn’t it? By living for others centering on true love, the satanic world will be re-created as a heavenly world. That is a logical conclusion. (182-134, 1988.10.16)
