We All Inherited a Self-Centered Nature

That is why fallen people may call God “Father,” but they do not actually feel that He is their Father.

    There will be a time when thousands and tens of thousands of families can live on one lake. Those fish are all ours if we just know how to fish. Who should fish? Women should do it. Why? It is because women have large, cushion-like hips. They are comfortable. Thus, they can sit for a long time. Men feel pain after sitting for just three hours. Therefore, if one woman catches three fish, she can feed three children, and if she catches four, then she can feed even the father as well. When she goes to the fishing area, she can catch ten fish and perhaps even a couple of dozen fish within one hour.
    Say there are one hundred families in a village. If they form groups of a hundred women and they decide to catch one hundred or two hundred fish, there would be no problem. It will work by mobilizing a small number of people. The mobilization of all people is not necessary. We can feed them by mobilizing a small group to fish once a month. (262-251, 1994.8.1)

    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)

The Internal Meaning of Sin and the Fall

Section 2. Through the Fall Our Lineage Changed to that of Satan

2.2. Original sin is inherited through lineage

Summary:
The Fall occurred when Eve entered into an illicit relationship with the archangel 🐍 and then joined with Adam, causing humanity to inherit Satan’s lineage instead of God’s. This false origin created an evil foundation for families, nations, and cultures characterized by self-centeredness 💔, division, and disbelief in God. Because humanity contracted a deep “disease” affecting its bloodline, God could not fix the world instantly without destroying it, requiring a six-thousand-year process of restoration ⏳ to untangle this complex history.

Declaration of the Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath for the Parents of Heaven and Earth

You should know the sacredness of the name, “True Parents.”

Happy Declaration of the Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath for the Parents of Heaven and Earth! (established 1997).

Please enjoy the special reading for the Holiday, below.

Rev. Sun Myung Moon
Seoul, Korea

You should know the sacredness of the name, “True Parents.” All creation was made for True Parents substantial realm. True Parents’ ideal realm must be realized even if it is at the cost of all that was created. The creation exists to achieve this realm. God created all things [Gen. 1–25] with this concept, which he had before the Creation. The name “True Parents,” which God had sought for thousands of years, will cut off all tumultuous things happening in the world and will achieve an ideal world, which is nothing less than the globalization of blessed families.

Satan Is an Adulterer

I clarified this matter, but can you go to heaven if you close your eyes to this fact?

What have all the religions of history been doing until now? They have been seeking one man. They have encouraged celibacy. They did not allow for new things. If they continue like this, they will perish. Yet when they reach the lev- el at which they can say they have found that man in their historical search for him, they will have to seek the woman after that. What kind of place is the Unification Church? It is a church seeking to restore the family. (30-218, 1970.3.23)

The history of restoration is that of Cain and Abel. Consequently, if two people representing Cain and Abel are placed before representatives of the first ancestors, the condition can be set through which all mistakes committed by our ancestors can be indemnified. What was the fundamental mistake? It was that Cain and Abel failed to unite. Originally, the foundation of faith and the foundation of substance were to be laid by Cain and Abel. As they failed to do this, the conditional offering through which it can be completed and brought into line with the expanding horizontal foundation on earth was the Blessing of the 72 Couples. (75-148, 1975.1.2)

Section 2. Through the Fall Our Lineage Changed to that of Satan

2.1. We have inherited the lineage of an enemy

Summary:
Human history and personal suffering are rooted in the original Fall, which occurred when an underage Eve entered into an adulterous relationship with Satan rather than literal fruit-eating 🍎. This illicit act defiled humanity’s spiritual lineage, replacing God’s ideal of love with Satan’s bloodline and placing human beings under the influence of an adulterous false father 💔. Because God cannot compromise the fundamental law of love to accept this corrupted lineage, human beings must discipline themselves, acknowledge this hidden truth, and undergo a process to change their lineage to break free from Satan’s control and restore their relationship with God 🕊️.

Satan Cannot be Forgiven

It is because he defiled the lineage of humankind.

In Asia, the Korean peninsula symbolizes the sexual organ of the continent; it is the male sexual organ. The Japanese archipelago has Hokkaido as its head. The group of islands below look like a woman with all her limbs spread out. That is why Japan is the Eve nation. The base of Japanese trade is located in Shimonoseki and Shikoku. Western culture spread out from the waterway by Shimonoseki with the Pacific Ocean in the background. It was the seaway for importing culture, where a woman spreads her legs and begins a relationhip. However, with the earth in the background, I am unifying the Pacific culture and the American culture into the culture of the Korean peninsula, centering on heavenly culture. (295-223, 1998.8.28)

The Holy Wedding Blessing Ceremony is not simply a wedding through which a man and woman come together and form a family. Until now, all weddings were centered on the people getting married, but our wedding ceremony is a significant condition necessary to indemnify history. Therefore, in returning joy to God, we conduct the ceremony solemnly and splendidly. The Divine Principle clearly explains to us that our wedding ceremonies alleviate the grief of God caused by the Fall of Adam and Eve, and establish the true standard of husband and wife, which Jesus was not able to achieve. (22-212, 1969.2.4)

2.1. We have inherited the lineage of an enemy

Summary:
Because of the Fall, Adam and Eve united through Satan’s false love rather than God’s love, causing humanity to inherit Satan’s love, life, and lineage 🌳 instead of becoming God’s true children. The text explains that eating the “fruit” was not about literal fruit, but represented an act of illicit love that defiled human lineage, which is why Satan cannot be forgiven 💔. Had Adam and Eve obeyed God’s commandment and matured, God would have blessed their marriage 💍, establishing them and their descendants as the royal family 👑 of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

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).

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 💔.
