Adam Would Have Been the Center of an Ideal World

If this family had developed into a tribe, people, nation and the world, it would be one family-like society attending God.

When men and women uphold and preserve chastity, they are protecting the universe because the discipline of love between them constitutes its fundamentals. We must not misuse love as if we were animals. Our love can have but one owner. The word ‘true’ in ‘true love’ does not allow for the possibility of two but absolutely only one. Not just anyone can say they have ‘true love.’ Only God can really love with true love, and only He absolutely owns it. His true life, lineage, and conscience require true love, which is, in this way, His most fundamental essence.

    I have established Parents’ Day, Children’s Day, Day of All Things and God’s Day. Having gone through the seven-year course in the 1960s, I was able to establish God’s Day in 1968 based on the realm of unified heart. Mother also had to go through a seven-year course from the completion level of the growth stage to the completion level of the completion stage. Without doing so, she could not have stood in the same realm of heart as me. Thus, although I married in 1960, it was only after seven years that I established God’s Day, on January 1, 1968. This is according to the Principle.
    Everyone must undergo a seven-year course, including the blessed couples. There are no exceptions; everyone must go. If Blessed Families are unable to go through this course, they cannot enter heaven. The paradise realm for the Blessed Families of the Unification Church is emerging in the spirit world. This is all logical. (139-311, 1986.1.31)

In the Unification Movement, there is a seven-year course, through which each person prepares to receive the Messiah (True Father/True Parents).  This has traditionally consisted of restoring the Foundation of Faith through a three and one half year course of restoring all things (fundraising).  Next there is a three and one half year course of restoring the Foundation of Substance, which involves restoring relationships through restoring the relationship of Cain and Abel(witnessing).  On this foundation we can receive the Blessing (of marriage).  More recently, couples could be Blessed after having received the equivalent of a seven day workshop education.  This can be accomplished through the Blessing Preparation Course at UnionStation.love.
    Once you have received the Blessing, there is a seven year course to complete as a couple to attain perfect oneness with God (CSG p. 1414)   The place to make this offering is in your Home Church area (CSG, p. 2022).

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:
God created Adam and Eve to share every form of love—from family affection to global harmony—and to build an ideal world centered on divine tradition 💖. However, before reaching maturity, Adam and Eve fell by misusing love in an illicit relationship with the archangel 🐍. Because they were the foundational root of humanity, their failure transformed potential “good parents” into evil ones, spreading sorrow, conflict, and a corrupted lineage throughout all of human history 💔.

Humankind and The Creator Would be Joined as One

The palace of God where He could dwell forever.

    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.

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.

God Created Adam and Even in order to Assume Physical Form

And secondly, in order to fulfill love.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1869


Everybody hopes to receive blessings, but to do so you need to prepare to receive such blessings. Blessings would just pass by those who are not prepared. I had hoped that the provincial government would have carried out their plans. If the people in Seongsanpo had done that quickly, then I would have built a refrigeration company and built them an 8,000 ton or 10,000 ton ship. But the provincial government did not support our purchase of the land. People there did all sorts of things to prevent the sale of their land and they collaborated to sell it at an inflated price. (188-9, 1989.2.16)

I matched the 30,000 Couples using their photographs before proceeding to bless them. This is amazing. Such a thing does not exist in the satanic world. It means to stand at the point of being absolutely zero when getting married; that is, those couples stood in the position of having absolute faith. Eve was unable to have absolute love because she fell, but those couples receiving the Blessing crossed national boundaries in seeking the path of love, the like of which can never ever be found in the satanic world. They have shown that they love me absolutely. To indemnify Eve’s inability to love God absolutely, they had to stand in the position of loving me absolutely. It must be recognized that they stood in the position of having totally denied themselves. (277-131, 1996.4.7

1.2. If the Fall had not occurred

Summary:
After the Fall, God grieved and suffered the most because, unlike the young and unknowing Adam and Eve, He fully understood the tragic loss of all heaven and earth 💔. God originally created human beings with dual masculine and feminine characteristics so He could take on a physical form, fulfill perfect love, and connect the physical and spiritual realms 🌐. Had Adam and Eve reached perfection, God would have lived within them as the substantial True Parent of humanity, but this original ideal was destroyed by the Fall 🚪.

God Detests Lewdness

It is because the human beings turned heaven and earth upside down with their illicit love. Nothing can be done about that evil blood.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1275

Before receiving the Blessing of marriage in the Unification Church, you need to go through the ceremony of changing the lineage. All of you went through that, didn’t you? The indemnity stick ceremony and the three-day ceremony make it seem very complicated, don’t they? During these ceremonies, Satan cannot intrude. These rituals signify that the gates of the Kingdom of Heaven have been opened by virtue of the laws of God and True Parents; and that liberation has been proclaimed. Therefore, Satan, who has been particularly active on the perfection level of the growth stage, cannot interfere. Do you all know that Blessed Families went through the ceremony of changing the lineage? They had to pass through this ceremony before they could receive the Blessing. (235-215, 1992.9.20)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 222


You cannot bring about the Kingdom of Heaven on your own. It requires the coming of the True Parents. You need to become one with the Holy Spirit and harmonize with the love of Jesus. Only then will you have the possibility to engraft to the olive tree on God’s side. However, since this is a spiritual engrafting, it is only partial; a complete engrafting cannot take place until the True Parents come in the era of the Second Coming and fully engraft you.

1.1. Satan, the devil, is our father

Summary:
Rev. Moon teaches that the Fall was not a literal eating of fruit , but the illicit seduction of an underage Eve by the archangel Lucifer while Adam was distracted . God could not directly intervene to prevent this because human love must be governed by human partners rather than forced by divine control . As a result, humanity inherited an impure lineage, which religions traditionally countered through celibacy . Uncovering these hidden truths is essential to resolving God’s deep grief and restoring the original ideal of love. Continue reading “God Detests Lewdness”

Adam and Eve Married Outside of God’s Blessing

When God cast them out, did He instruct them to marry and have sons and daughters or did He not say such a thing?

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1453

Even when I was lying down, I always had thoughts of God’s homeland in mind. Since this house is not located in the nation of God, I have no particular affection for it. I am only attached to this place, having children and leading my life here, because I do not have any other choice.
How much would God and the spirits in the other world yearn for the unification of the homeland! How much would they yearn for it! Wouldn’t they hope in their hearts, “Even though I am in hell, even though I am at the lowest level of the spirit world, I wish our homeland will be established soon…”? Only when the homeland is manifested on earth would they receive liberation. Therefore, if so, they should be granted an amnesty. Such is the work I carried out during my imprisonment. I had the gates opened wide. I made a highway both in the spiritual and physical worlds. I am hoping and praying, “The whole spirit world should face in the same direction True Parents are going, and march forward towards the one nation of God!”
The spirit world is praying for the physical world, encouraging True Parents in their work. You must know this. Isn’t that what God desires? “True Parents on earth, please fight well and be victorious, and relieve the spirit world of its grief and lamentation!” You should be ashamed of the fact that you were neither born nor raised in the nation of God, but instead have lived to your current age in the satanic world. (164-218, 1987.5.16)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 202

Originally, when God as the Parent created Adam and Eve, He reaped the benefit of having children. At the same time, He enabled the children to benefit by having parents. God’s hope was to raise His children to perfection. Had this happened, it would be possible to say that God would have harvested both Adam and Eve.
Then, why do we need parents and why do we need children? God is spiritual and human beings are physical. The parent-child relationship is also like this. The invisible God bears fruit through the visible child and then enters into the heart of the child to reveal His value as the visible God.
The invisible God bears fruit within the child’s heart and the fruit of the child is then produced. It is possible to transfer the fruit of the father to the child. And thus, for God, both His fruit and the parent’s fruit are produced. They have equal value.
Then, why are parents and children needed? Even though God possesses love, He needs a partner to share His love. We as children also need a partner to share our love. This partner relationship between parents and children is like the relationship of heaven and earth. It is a vertical relationship.
This world is made up of two spheres, one is a world of spirit and the other is the physical world. Since we are born as sons and daughters of the invisible God, God and we are at relational poles. We are born at one pole and grow up. As we grow up, we long to find the invisible God. Finally we become bride and bridegroom and we become one in love that unites the upper spiritual hemisphere and the lower physical hemisphere.
The parental heart is the heart of Heaven. We need parents to take over the heavenly nation and parents want children’s love in order to occupy the earth. When do we come to know this heavenly heart? We cannot understand it as children. We have to be parents to know the parental heavenly heart.

1.1. Satan, the devil, is our father

Summary:
The story of the Garden of Eden is a symbolic metaphor.,  The “tree of life” and the “tree of knowledge of good and evil” represent the male and female sexual organs rather than physical trees. Adam and Eve’s original sin involved a misuse of these sexual organs, which is why they covered their lower bodies out of shame after falling rather than their hands or mouths. Finally, the passage notes that God expelled Adam and Eve from Eden before they had any children , meaning their offspring were born outside of God’s direct realm after they married at their own discretion.
