Satan Appeared as Another Parent

You must know this clearly.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1203

    America was born from Britain, so it is in the son’s position. Before becoming an archangel, the son is in the position of Abel. When the son is born, he has the right of the eldest son. Since he has this right, he must become the first son on God’s side and in this capacity he must attend a mother on God’s side, but this position was lost. When the island nation of Britain separated from Rome, it was in the position of archangel before it received the position of Eve. It was in the position of the restored archangel rather than the fallen archangel. It was in the position of Abel. America must become a nation able to inherit the right of the eldest son so that it can accomplish restoration through indemnity. (138-308, 1986.1.24)

   You should not stain your Blessing lineage. All of you should be fully aware of this. Your lineage is your asset that will enable you to succeed to and inherit heaven. It is like a document of your blood relatives, or deed papers to your lineage. It is the equivalent of your genealogy. The issue is how you protect your purity. (263-62, 1994.8.16)

2.2. The consequences of failing to fulfill our portion of responsibility

Summary:
In the Unification Church, the concept of “our portion of responsibility” is deeply significant because human beings have not yet fulfilled it, causing the entire world, history, and all past, present, and future generations to be trapped in a realm of bitter misfortune under evil sovereignty. The realm of Satan began precisely because Adam and Eve failed to fulfill their responsibility through self-centered love, making them a fallen root that passed this failure down as another parent to all human descendants. Because humanity fell below the line of responsibility, God has had to endure a long, painful path of suffering while waiting for us to bridge the gap and raise ourselves back up. Ultimately, good sovereignty exists above the fulfillment of human responsibility, meaning humankind must exert every effort to overcome Satan’s domain and restore what was lost.

God Could Not Do as He Wished

Had God been able to do as He wished, all of this would have been resolved in an instant long ago.

    How happy God, True Parents, and Blessed Families will be with the proclamation of the Family Pledge! “Seek our original homeland!” This earth is the original homeland. It means completing the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, the original ideal of creation, in our original homeland. Through what? Through love. All have followed the path of love that can return to the original homeland. We are to re-create that by seeking and restoring the original love within fallen people. (297-209, 1998.11.20)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 894

    What is your destination? Where will you go and live? I will go to the spirit world and stay at the highest point of all kinds of love. Just as there is a North Pole and a South Pole, there is a Love Pole. No matter how hard you try searching at the half way point, or however much you go around, you will not find me. Since you cannot find me, you might say, “Rev. Moon went to hell.” Would it be easy to stay at the highest point? “I will not freeze to death at the North Pole. I will be like a fireball of love!” This is a great ideal and a great system of thought. So, everything will be fulfilled. Even God is inside me. The people of the world are inside me. Those who say that they will inherit love are of my tribe! You’re not offended? (108-182, 1980.9.28)

Section 2. Human Beings Have a Portion of Responsibility

2.1. The reason God gave us a portion of responsibility

Summary:
Although God is all-powerful, He was unable to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth because human beings fell and left their five percent portion of responsibility unfulfilled. Adam and Eve failed during the necessary process of their growth by making a mistake in the realm of love, proving that no goal can be reached unless an individual successfully completes their portion of responsibility by becoming one with God and the Principle. Because we are descendants of the Fall, humanity faces the painful destiny of needing to change its lineage through a path of indemnity, requiring each person to exert their utmost effort to become true children of God. Even True Father had to pioneer his extremely treacherous path without God directly guiding or protecting him, as God could only watch and wait until a perfected human being fulfilled their responsibility to receive His ultimate love.

Human Responsibility Unlocks the Dominion of Love

However, we must understand that problems arose over the fulfillment of human responsibility and that human beings fell.

    When I speak of rebirth, I do not mean that you must be reborn through the bodies of parents who are the descendants of fallen Adam and Eve, but through those who are not in any way connected to the Fall. Unless you are reborn through such parents, you cannot return to God. The root of sin began from Adam and Eve. Unless you step over this and are reborn in a position not related to the original sin, you can never ever return to the presence of God. (22-269, 1969.5.4)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1056

    Your family should not become secularized or slaves of habit. You should not think, “Things will be better in the future even though it is terrible now.” You are to be perfect now; the present is the problem. When the past and the present are perfected, the future will be perfect. Not having had a perfect day in the Garden of Eden still causes us to suffer the effects of the Fall.
    The ideal is the place where the past, present, and future can be united into one. You should be able to offer up the present. God’s desire is to set up the eternal stepping stone on earth. This is the historical point of synthesis. (21-77, 1968.10.20)

Section 2. Human Beings Have a Portion of Responsibility

2.1. The reason God gave us a portion of responsibility

Summary:
God gave human beings their portion of responsibility to share His highest authority and creative power, allowing them to participate in the work of creation and rise to a position that truly represents God Himself. This responsibility was not created because of the Fall; even in a perfect world, God completes ninety-five percent of the ideal of creation, and human beings must fulfill their own five percent portion to achieve perfection and earn the key to dominate the universe with love. Because this principle is absolute and carries no exceptions, God cannot simply fix everything as He pleases, which is why He has also had to walk a long path of intense hardship to help restore humanity. Ultimately, this five percent responsibility is a grand privilege that gives human beings the value of becoming God’s true partners, meaning that both God and humanity must bear the weight of responsibility together under any circumstances.

Who have gone beyond the realm of the Fall. According to the Principle, they are the ones who have completed their portion of responsibility.

    You enter the spirit world without money. Take care of Satan’s children. Each of you is to look after more than 120 people. The Kingdom of Heaven lost all its citizens. By engrafting them, we establish a condition for them not to be lost.
    In order to go through the twelve pearly gates in the spirit world, you must, while on earth, recover the citizens of heaven from Satan. To do so, you must shed tears, sweat and blood. With the heart of true love for re-creation, invest your heart more than that of the fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, and sons and daughters of the satanic world, and bring about that transitional process by shedding your tears, sweat and blood. Without doing so, you cannot claim any heavenly citizens as your own. In proportion to this number, the conditions for your position of glory and your proximity to God in the other world will be established. (211-352, 1991.1.1)

    It was fourteen years after the liberation of Korea that I received Mother. It was in 1960. Why was it fourteen years? It was because our first ancestors fell at the completion level of the growth stage when they were still passing through their second seven-year course; they fell in the very end of this seven-year course, before the beginning of the third seven-year course. Therefore, according to the principle of restoration through indemnity, I settled in Korea through a course of fourteen years of persecution, built the altar called the Unification Church, and chose Mother and raised her to this position while battling the established churches and the nation of South Korea. From that point, when Mother was chosen and designated to her position, God’s providence could settle on earth for the first time. (143-178, 1986.3.18)

Section 1. The Realms of Indirect and Direct Dominion

1.2. The realm of direct dominion

Summary:
Fulfilling your human portion of responsibility allows you to move from the indirect dominion into the direct dominion of God’s love, where your heart becomes completely one with His. In this direct dominion, vertical and horizontal love connect to create a pure divine lineage that completely locks out Satan and allows you to travel freely between the physical and spirit worlds. Because the fallen world has struggled to reach this state, it desperately needs True Parents, who have already completed their responsibility, overcome the Fall, and established a perfect foundation of absolute love. When families follow this path and unite with God’s love, heavenly fortune is set in motion and the Kingdom of Heaven automatically appears on earth. Ultimately, entering the direct dominion means belonging entirely to God’s heart and living under His perfect, eternal guidance where no evil can ever interfere.

    Do you know why I have proclaimed tribal messiahship to both Korea and the world? It is because I have returned to Korea and have now connected Korea to all the nations. Imagine the mobilization of spirits in the spirit world, whose eyes are wide open in anticipation of liberation and who are saying that it’s the right time to return to earth to indemnify thousands or tens of thousands of years of history. So if I do not lay down all these bridges to connect the spirit world to earth, would that be right? Because everything has collapsed, there is no place for me to stand. In order to create a place, I had to send out Blessed Families as tribal messiahs and have them set up three-generation ancestral standards: perfection of Jesus, perfection of oneself, and perfection of Adam. This foundation created an environment upon which I could stand. This is why I have proclaimed tribal messiahship. The unification of North and South Korea does not just happen automatically. It is possible only after all these things are tied together. Since all these things are connected to the family level and the tribal level, they will then bond to the national level, and the Unification Church and the government should then become one. (219-97, 1991.8.25)

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 964 Book 6 • Our Life and the Spiritual Realm 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.

1.2. The realm of direct dominion

Summary:
The realm of direct dominion is absolutely necessary because it is the only place where we can connect to God’s love, which is the essential foundation required to inherit the universe from Him. True Father emphasizes that he did not invent these spiritual concepts or terms on a whim, but rather discovered them through a lifetime of extreme hardship, prison, and persecution that only God could fully understand. Once we receive the Blessing and enter this higher dimension, denying it is a terrifying sin worse than Satan’s fall, meaning members must faithfully establish a strict heavenly tradition. To cross over from the indirect dominion into this new dimension, men and women must reach spiritual maturity by loving God first above all else, which fulfills their human portion of responsibility. Ultimately, living in this direct dominion means directly sensing True Parents in daily life and bubbling over with so much joyful emotion that we can instantly feel the character of others and experience the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
