True Parents East-West (Global) Victory

What Is God’s Ideal for the Family?

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2194

    A true parent will never say to their child, “You have become a filial child, so, you do not need to become a patriot. Do not go the way of a patriot.” A true parent must teach that filial child, “You have to sacrifice your family and walk the path of a patriot. You must serve your country, fulfill the duty of a saint, and you have to sacrifice your duty as a saint in order to go the way that Heaven desires.
And beyond this, you have to sacrifice Heaven and Earth to find God.”
    People become filial children only by sacrificing themselves for their families. Further, in order to become patriots, people must be willing to sacrifice their entire families in order to save their nation. Only in this way can they become patriots.
    Saints are people who are willing to sacrifice their country in order to save the world. Divine children must be willing to sacrifice the world in order to realize God’s Nation and Land, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Humankind has been ignorant of this truth. You need to invest and sacrifice yourselves. If not, then the ideal of one world or one country will never be accomplished. (285-218, 1997.5.19)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 687

Before the Messiah – in other words, the True Parents – comes on the earth, the entire spirit world is completely divided, similar to this divided world.
The True Parents in corporeal form must tear down the many walls that have been built up. Only then will the two worlds be connected. In that connection, the True Parents not only represent the physical world but also the spirit world.
By attending the True Parents and by means of absolute love, for the first time you are able to pave a road that connects to the spirit world. By demonstrating absolute loyalty before the messiah, you establish the precondition of having demonstrated absolute loyalty before even the greatest of all spirit people. You establish the condition of having demonstrated absolute loyalty to God’s commands. You have to demonstrate absolute loyalty to the True Parents in the place of God. Why is that? It is so that 687
you can establish a tradition that enables you to become one with the citizens of heaven.
Why do you need to attend the True Parents? Because they represent the spirit world and God. It is so that you can form a bond of heart with the True Parents and be qualified to participate in the realm of the victory of heart that True Parents sealed with love. (105-112, 1979.9.30)

TRUE FAMILY

Chapter 11

The Family Is the Eternal Foundation of Happiness

Section 2. The Family Is the Base of Eternal Happiness

In our daily life, on what basis would you say someone is a happy person? Can people be called happy because they possess some external ability, power or authority? They cannot. Also, are people happy because they have enough money to keep them from envying others? No. Furthermore, can people become happy through acquiring global knowledge or attaining a position from which to control the world at will? It is absolutely not the case that people become truly happy with just those things. (23‐11, 1969.5.11) Continue reading “What Is God’s Ideal for the Family?”

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1879

The Unification Church must become the main stream of the world and resemble the Black Current in the Pacific Ocean. The circulation of the Black Current through four thousand miles in the Pacific enables the waters in the five great oceans to circulate. To generate the life energy of the world from the universe, a source must be created that can turn and move the deepest of places. Through this, we must purify the tarnished world. (275-32, 1995.10.30)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 670

If two-thirds of your life of seventy or eighty years were sorrowful, how would you handle that period? You should make it a joyful life centering on God. You should make it the Kingdom of Heaven where one gives and gives again. God also has to give. Parents must give to their children. Wanting to give and give again when you have something better to give is the heart of a parent. (34- 141, 1970.8.30)

TRUE LOVE

Chapter 3

Love and Marriage

Section 2. The Love that Man and Woman Desire

No matter how pretty a girl may be, there is a time after emerging from adolescence, which is the most special time. This is when her beauty truly flowers, the most precious time of her life. Nevertheless, is there any woman who would say that she would rather live alone? This is not a woman. Also, is there any man who has a fine body and yet says that he would rather live alone during such a lovely time of youth? At such times you are bound to look for your partner. Why do you do this? It is because you resemble God. During young adulthood, the most precious time of your life, you seek out your life partner. This is true for men and women alike. (32-248, 1970.7.19)

Why do men exist? Men often say they are not interested in such issues because they can usually live alone, but men are born for the sake of women. Without women, men have no reason to be here. There is nothing that has come into being for its own sake. (285-220, 1997.5.19) When we look at our five senses; eyes, nose, ears, mouth and hands are all there for the sake of my partner. Do our eyes exist to look into our own eyes? True love can fully mobilize and concentrate the five senses. Eyes, nose, ears, mouth and hands are tools of true love, created for the sake of true love. (299-119, 1999.2.7) Continue reading “Give Your Utmost Heart as a Truthful and Genuine Person”

The Fall Was the Most Crucial Problem that Occurred in History

Happy Day of All True Things, Celebration of True Parents East-West (Global) Victory, Founding of HSA-UWC (1954) and Prayerful Memorial Day!

Today we share a special reading for the holidays.

35th Day of All True Things, Sheraton National Galaxy Room Washington, D.C. May 31, 2003

The fall was the most crucial problem that occurred in history. Your mind and body, when will they become one. Have you thought about that. Hana Nim means one. Unified. Even though there are millions of things in the universe they are all harmonized and unified in God.

No matter how wonderful and incredible a being is, without love there is no value. Without love there is nothing. Even if your mind and body were united there must be love. This is the highest ideal. To have true happiness we must be brought together in True Love. That is the logic of God. That is the true creation. This absolute, unique and unchanging.

This Day of all True Things. I’m 83 now. I was half my age when we established the True Day of All Things. What is that existence that God has longed for. What is the direction process and purpose of God’s will. Centering on what God can harvest the fruit must be love. There are many American women here. There are many beautiful American women here. But God doesn’t care about that. Some will say I want to control man and everything. But that is not God’s way. The ideal of God is that the fruit must be ripened centered on love. Even though the fallen world is as it is, God’s truth and core love centers on the family. God wants to harvest that ripened fruit centering on love. Why? From now the hopeful attitude is centering on True Love.
