The History of the True Parents Has Begun

It means that a foundation has been established upon which the origin of the heavenly kingdom can be connected to this earth.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1839

We need to build processing factories in the western, southern, and eastern areas of Alaska, handling all aspects of the business. Though the fish are numerous, we have no capacity to process them. That is why I will now build a fish powder factory. Why do we need to make powder? It solves the storage problem. No matter how good a fish might be, it does not last more than eight months. Even frozen fish must be supplied with water again after eight months. Even though it is iced, air seeps into the ice because of the differences in climate. When air seeps in, the vapor from the fish goes out through the ice. Then the entire fish must be submerged in water again, frozen and then stored. But that should not be done. If you take the fish out and refreeze it a couple of times, a regular temperature cannot be maintained. Therefore, that produce will be discarded. (122-80, 1982.10.31)

The Fall changed Adam and Eve’s lineage. Whose love changed it? They became the embodiments of Satan through his love as God’s adulterous enemy. The living body of the man and the living body of the woman entered the realm of Satan’s love and united based on that; the fruit of this was their children who inherited Satan’s love, life and lineage. (227-41, 1992.2.10)

Section 4. The Discovery of the Portion of Responsibility and its Significance

Summary:
In Unification Movement teaching, understanding the “portion of responsibility” ⚖️ and “restoration through indemnity” is considered a discovery of universal importance—even greater than major scientific breakthroughs—because these concepts unlock the true cause of history’s tragic conflicts. Because no human throughout history fulfilled their original responsibility, evil prevailed and good people suffered under Satan’s influence. By realizing and fulfilling this responsibility, conditions of goodness can finally overcome evil and resolve historical suffering. Ultimately, human ideals and the Kingdom of Heaven 👑 cannot be established through scholars or human intellect alone, but only through the True Parents 👨‍👩‍👧, who construct the foundation on earth to reconnect humanity with God’s true love 💖.

Adam and Eve were to Be the Body of God

They were to be the horizontal parents, while God was the vertical Parent.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1426

Once South and North Korea are reunited, and the nation is filled with Blessed people, we will enter the era of registration. Once you have inherited the lineage of True Parents, the era of registration will be imminent. Through the worldwide expansion of the Blessing and subsequent registration of the five billion people in the world, the ancestral generations they will assume will be decided. Though they may all have received the Blessing at the same time, some will be thousands of generations higher than others. A very frightful era is coming. (252-246, 1994.1.1)

Is it not wonderful when the young- er sibling in a family does something wrong, and the other siblings support him and the parents love him? The mother and father would say, “He is our future God!” Why is that so? It is the same when you connect to God’s love. You should know that in a family with that kind of love, where the elder siblings love the younger ones like a mother and where the mother displays love when serving the father, God will be with that family and the children will become God’s representatives in the future.

3.2. Perfection is a family that has unified heaven and earth

Summary:
By fulfilling their portion of responsibility ⚖️, mature men and women unite through true love 👩‍❤️‍👨 to establish a secure root for God’s love, life, and lineage 🌳 on earth. Adam and Eve were meant to serve as God’s physical body, attaining the positions of true parents 👨‍👩‍👧, first sonship 👦, and kingship 👑 to connect the spiritual and physical worlds. Because the Fall destroyed this original ideal, humanity must undergo a rigorous path of restoration through indemnity ⚖️ to separate from the satanic world, change their lineage, and restore God’s true love 💖.

God Is Our Parent

This will result in the creation of a family united with heaven and earth.

As you are doing your tong ban breakthrough activities, you should gain the support of 12 families. When you go to a district, you should gain the support of 12 local communities, and when you go to a local community you should integrate twelve home neighborhoods. There are twelve stages. For the most part, haven’t the cities, counties and boroughs harmonized with us? There isn’t anyone, including the heads of organizations, who doesn’t respect Rev. Moon, right? All of you are also respected, right? We have become influential, right? So, you are people of influence, but are you the central figure of influence or not? We’re the only ones who can prevail over the communists, right? So we have become the central figures of influence. (204-245, 1990.7.11)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1342

Each person is the fruit of the past, the center of the present, and the beginning of the future, and is therefore the meeting point of three eras. When you multiply the three separate eras by the number twelve, you get the number 36. Thus, you arrive at the 36 Couples and since the children in the position of Cain and Abel must be restored centering on these 36 Couples, it follows that the 72 Couples must come next.

Section 3. Fulfilling Our Portion of Responsibility

3.2. Perfection is a family that has unified heaven and earth

Summary:
Inheriting the realm of God’s heart requires human beings to fulfill their portion of responsibility ⚖️ by uniting around God’s vertical love ↕️, which creates a pure divine lineage 🌳 and connects heaven and earth. Because the Fall severed this original bond, restoring humanity’s lineage demands fundamental, deep true love 💖 rather than just surface-level or conditional offerings. When people fulfill their responsibility, a three-dimensional framework of love 🌐—vertical between heaven and earth, horizontal between spouses, and front-to-back among siblings—is established within the family, allowing God to dwell on earth as the true parent of humankind.

Man and Woman are the Concentrated Nucleus of Heaven and Earth

When a husband and wife are united through true love the entire universe is involved.

    If a young grandchild comes home and asks in a bossy voice, “Hey, where did Grandpa and Grandma go?” how would you feel? Is it proper for him to demand, as soon as arrives, and in front of his mother and father and his brothers and sisters, to know, “Where are Grandpa and Grandma?” This is improper because he is speaking in an impolite manner. Here the grandparents are now over eighty years old, and this little brat audaciously stands firm in front of his father and mother and elder brothers and elder sisters, who are superior to him, demanding to know, “Where have Grandpa and Grandma gone?” Would any of them be shocked and scold him saying, “Where are your manners?”
    Why do you think this happens? Normally, if someone did the same thing in another situation, you would scold him or her saying, “How can you treat Grandpa like this?” But if the grandchild stands firm and asks again, you will be pleased. You will reply, “Okay, okay, so you want to see your grandfather, do you?” When he asks where his grand- father is, is he asking for rice cakes or some food? What does he have on his mind? He misses his grandfather. So is it good or bad to miss him? It is a good thing!

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1694

    With regard to the mainstream ideologies of the world today, conceptualism and realism have become the two mainstreams of the philosophical world, giving rise to the conflict between theism and materialism, right and left wings, which has inflicted great damage on the world. Left-wing ideology, in particular, has attained world- wide supremacy through evolutionary theory. What comes first: the existence of man and woman or the existence of love? Before there was man and woman, there existed the concept of love. Since love preexisted them, man and woman were created to be prepared for it, that is, to be in accord with the concept of love. Hence, conceptualism and realism are not separate. What communism did not know was that conceptualism and realism can be unified through love in such a manner. (228-162, 1992.3.27)

3.2. Perfection is a family that has unified heaven and earth

Summary:
By fulfilling their portion of responsibility, human beings connect God’s vertical love with a husband and wife’s horizontal love, uniting the mind, body, earth, and spirit world on a central axis of true love. This growth process guides individuals step-by-step to become true children, siblings, couples, and finally parents who share in God’s original joy of creation. Once this unified love expands across every level—from the individual to the entire cosmos—God’s eternal love, life, and divine lineage are permanently established, bringing the spiritual and physical realms together as one.

True Father Volunteered to Go the Way of Indemnity

And walked the path along which he fulfilled his portion of responsibility in order to open the way through which all of humankind could be liberated.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 837

    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)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 963

    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.

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.
