In the spirit world, if you have an upright relationship with God, you will fit perfectly wherever you go, to the north, south, east, and west. Any society comprising many associations, and having so many different characteristics…. How many people are here in this room? If there are five hundred, then there are five hundred types of people. Everyone is different, right? In the spirit world, people of similar nature come together in groups. This occurs more precisely than if it was arranged by a computer. You can tell your own disposition just by walking past others. Within a week, you will be able to see through everything, behind everyone and even into the inner reaches of a person’s secret world. Words are not necessary. You can sense what a person’s heart is trying to tell you. It is an all-knowing world, like a grandfather computer. (211-244, 1990.12.30)

To this day, no one has been registered into the heavenly kingdom. The kingdom did not have a nation. It did not have a family or nation. When you go to the spirit world, your parents, and – if there are ten people in your family – all ten of your family members would be separated. However, from now on it will not be that way. You should know that originally, if human beings had not fallen, heaven would be the place where you enter with your mother, father and clan.
If your grandparents, mother and father, couple, and children, become one based on true love, and inherit God’s true love that lives for others, then even God would be absolutely obedient to that. In the world that strives to live for others – a world that moves according to the love that submits to the tradition of living for others – the basis for peace would surely emerge even if it resisted being formed. (210-354, 1990.12.27)

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:
Restoration through indemnity creates the environment needed for humanity to fulfill its portion of responsibility and overcome Satan by choosing to love God and humanity selflessly. Because Adam and Eve failed their original responsibility, all of humanity and the spirit world became trapped in suffering, causing God continuous anguish throughout history. To resolve this, True Father voluntarily endured extreme suffering and indemnity to fulfill this responsibility on a global scale and open the door to liberation. Through this sacrifice, the right of ownership can be reclaimed from Satan and returned to God, establishing a world of peace and true love on earth.
You have all lived until now without knowing how important your portion of responsibility is. What is restoration through indemnity? It creates an environment in which we can freely fulfill our portion of responsibility. Satan seeks to invade, so we must protect ourselves against Satan. What must we do to protect ourselves against Satan? We must love God and humankind more than Satan hates them.
Satan hates God and humankind, but we must be able to say, “We will love God more and we will love humankind more.” We cannot separate from Satan unless we stand in the position of unfallen human beings with the standard of having fulfilled our portion of responsibility. (148154, 1986.10.8)
To fulfill our human portion of responsibility a condition of indemnity is necessary. True Father has made indemnity conditions and if all of you appear proudly as the flag bearers of the nation – as those who have inherited my viewpoint on the purpose of life – you will become patriots. For the family, you will be a filial child. As a couple you will become faithful men and women of fidelity. In the world you will go the way of sainthood and you will attain the position of a prince who lives in accordance with the laws of the heavenly palace. There is only one way that we can safely proceed and that is through a life of offering everything for the sake of love – living for the sake of others. This is an amazing fact. (169-94, 1987.10.25)
The five billion people in the world are all bound by the portion of responsibility left unfulfilled by Adam and Eve and the ocean of resentment that has given God continuous anguish. The innumerable ancestors who passed on to the spirit world are also all caught there. How can God, who has to watch all this, restore the original standard before the Fall? This is the reason why God is a God to be pitied.
Thus, I very swiftly volunteered to go the way of indemnity and walked the path along which I fulfilled my portion of responsibility in order to open the way through which all of humankind could be liberated, saying, “Time, go by quickly! Months and years, go by quickly! Day of liberation, come quickly!” (197104, 1990.1.7)
Right up until the present time God has not changed His outlook. He has persevered through the interminable process of restoration through indemnity. Fulfilling the ideal of love is the final summit. He has endured and is proclaiming this clearly before all humankind to the sound of the bells of liberation. God maintained the heart to endure until the returning Lord was able to come to the earth to tearfully fulfill the mission of restoration, fulfill God’s will, inherit the right of ownership of the entire satanic world and return it all to God, and establish a world of peace and unity here on the earth. This is not coercion. The right of ownership must be taken back from Satan and returned to God. (197-96, 1990.1.7)
