You Must be Struck and Still Survive

And manage to subjugate those who strike you, [or] restoration will not begin.

    What is the Unification Church? Where is it heading, with the right and left wings in its arms? It is guiding us to pass through this world of struggle and strife and enter a world of happiness, that of utopia, and to follow the path shown by God. This path is not a level one. What that means is that the Unification Church should not be equipped only with a logical system that can take responsibility for all the failures and wreckage caused by various ideological systems. At the same time, the Unification Church should also be able to take all these failures into its arms and strive for a transcendent form of existence, based on a spiritual awareness that can move them vertically, centering on religion.
    You need to understand that the Unification Church should have the capacity to systematically theorize humanistic ideologies such as humanism and materialism, as well as all the theisms of the past until now, and integrate all these ideologies into one. At the same time, its members should embody the one theology which incorporates spiritual reality and experience and can connect all religions transcending denomination from the vertical perspective. (162-102, 1987.3.30)

Richard:  Right now, with different people talking about WW III, we should rather focus on this unifying teaching and see what God’s ideal is and how left and right, Jews, Christians, Muslims and all religions can be harmonized centered on God.  
The necessary thought and teaching is already here.  Will we listen?

Study the Unification Principle here.

    Essentially, what have we been trying to do during the Old Testament, New Testament, and Completed Testament Ages? We have been trying to bring God inside us. Who is the root? God is. God is the root of humankind. Originally, True Parents were not the root. True Parents also came from God, who is the root. Before Adam and Eve fell, they were in the position of God’s son and daughter. But after their Fall, all things of creation came to be in a higher position than Adam and Eve. This happened because Adam and Eve fell. Through the Fall, they sunk lower than all things. Since all things became higher than people, they have given their lives for humankind. They have shed blood in our place and through this, have worked to reverse the positions. This is why, in the Old Testament Age, offerings were sacrificed to pave the pathway for the sons and daughters to travel on.
    In the New Testament Age, Jesus came and sacrificed himself as a child to pave the way for Parents. Through martyrs shedding a great quantity of blood, Christians paved the road for the coming of the Parents in the age of the Second Coming.
    What is the relationship between Jesus and True Parents? Jesus is in the position of the Son, while True Parents are in the position of the Parents. I have said that Buddha is my disciple, Jesus is my disciple and Confucius is my disciple. Spiritual people can know everything if they pray. Wait and see. The Unification Church will be the center of religious unification in the end, correcting the standard for presidents, prime ministers, and all the proud politicians of the nations. This is my work, to accomplish this not by force, but by natural submission. (211-312, 1991.1.1

Summary:
The overall goal across the Old, New, and Completed Testament Ages has been to bring God—the true root of humankind—inside us 🌳. Because Adam and Eve fell lower than the creation, countless offerings and sacrifices (including Jesus and Christian martyrs) were made throughout history to reverse these positions and pave the way for the arrival of the True Parents ✨.

You Must Receive a Graft from the Messiah

By receiving the graft you can become a true olive tree, even though in the past you were a wild one.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1721

What organ do man and woman need as partners? Is it located where they kiss? Is it accessed by touching each other’s bodies? What organ is it? It is the genitals. Genitals in Korean mean the vessel wherein life is planted. That is just what the genitals are. The female organ is the tool that can occupy the man. The sexual organ is the tool to be used in seeking love; the owner of the tool, however, is not the woman herself. Through it, she becomes qualified as the owner of love. This is true for both woman and man. (301-74, 1999.4.16)

    Water symbolizes the age of the womb. Your nose symbolizes the age of air. After coming out of your mother’s womb you live in the age of air. Afterwards, it becomes the age of the eyes, the age of the sun and the age of light. Love is also called light. It is said that love lights everything up, isn’t it? It is the world of light.
    Life goes through three periods. Even a dragonfly spends time in the water, on land and then, after discarding its shell, it flies about feeding on other bugs. It goes through three stages. It is the same with human beings, the lords of creation. After the age of the womb, when you emerge from your mother’s womb, do you come out with your arms full of household goods or do you come out destroying and cutting everything away? It would cause serious trouble if you came out with even one item.
    You used to eat and breathe through your umbilical cord. Wouldn’t you expect to die if you cut it? Yet you need to cut it in order to come out of the mother’s womb. You have to cut it ruthlessly. You have to destroy everything as you come out. (299-37, 1999.2.1)

2.1. The Foundation for the Messiah

Summary:
Because humans inherited Satan’s lineage, even reaching personal perfection is not enough to purify our bloodline, making the arrival and acceptance of the Messiah completely essential 🌳. People must first establish the foundation of faith and the foundation of substance—moving upward through spiritual stages from servants to adopted children—so they can receive a spiritual “graft” from the Messiah, change their lineage from evil to goodness, and finally become true children of God ✨.

For Whom Do People Live?

If you were to answer, “For myself,” you would get a failing mark.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1471

For whom do people live? If you were to answer, “For myself,” you would get a failing mark. Could a family sustain itself through those who live only for themselves? They could not form a family of hope. Could a nation sustain itself through them? It could not. Can the world sustain itself through them? It could not. There would be no place for the world in their lives. The public mind of heaven and earth would reprimand them, “You individualistic villains! Get out of here!” If people always put themselves first, will there be a place for their families? Would there be a place for an ideal nation? Could they enter through a hole that is even narrower than the tip of a knife? However much they tried, they could never enter through such a small space. (57-66, 1972.5.28)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1542

The place we wish to inhabit is heaven. Would there be borders in it? Of course not. Would there be more than one language in it? Surely not. Would there be racial discrimination? Not in the least. Then, what would heaven be like? Since all human beings were originally born from God’s bosom, they are all brothers and sisters. From God’s viewpoint, since all of us are His children, it naturally follows that we are all siblings; from the viewpoint of His kingdom on earth, we are all citizens of the same kingdom. Every one of us is a citizen, a subject of this kingdom. (66-281, 1973.5.16)

2.1. The Foundation for the Messiah

Summary:
Preparing a foundation for the Messiah requires establishing a foundation of faith (through sacrificial offerings) and a foundation of substance (by uniting Cain and Abel and completely overcoming fallen nature through absolute obedience) 🌳. Because humans inherited a fallen lineage from Satan, they must go through a spiritual “grafting” process—like changing a wild olive tree into a true one—to remove original sin and enter God’s realm of life and love ✨.

Perfection is Achieved through the Completion of Indemnity

Without climbing over the ridge of indemnity, there is no way for you to reach perfection.

Chicago and Los Angeles are the same as New York. All of America’s big cities are the same. Satan thinks that if he can totally ruin the family, which is central to Christianity, by corrupting sexual morals through sexual liberation, then the foundation that has been established globally until now will collapse. So he injects everyone with free sex, and in that way people all become little satans. (87-137, 1976.5.23)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 940
When I prayed, I would weep so deeply that my cotton trousers would be drenched with tears, even in the depths of winter. Yet, how have you treated the Principle I found through such labors? When you come to find out about this reality in the spirit world, how will you approach me? Even Mother should be careful in dealing with me. There are many things that you do not know. Once you do know, you must join me on this path. When you go through the pass of deep sorrow, and even resolve to die wherever you are, with a loving heart, only then can your death be accepted as a heavenly death. That is how you can overcome death. It is a realm where death does not intervene. (253-325, 1994.1.30

1.2. The Reason We Must Go the Way of Indemnity

Summary:
Repairing or re-creating something broken takes more effort than creating it in the first place, which is why humans must use the condition of indemnity to cleanse themselves from the effects of the Fall and return to their original, sinless state 🔄. Because people cannot walk this difficult path of restoration alone, they must work in cooperation with God and the spirit world to overcome self-centeredness, clear away evil, and ultimately build a true world centered on God’s love ✨.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1730

In pursuing fundamental problems, I thought a great deal about where on earth the realm of oneness of God and humankind would be. This is a very important question. If it were not answered, the starting point and the final destination would not be in accord. In the pursuit of this question, an awakening like a flashing thunderbolt came to me: that true love passes through the shortest route. That one realization solved everything. If heaven and earth were connected through true love, it would be through the shortest distance. In other words, there is only one perpendicular. It is always at ninety degrees to the horizontal. That is the shortest possible distance. (250-153, 1993.10.14)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1353

The path through which everyone can pass through the door of the Blessing and come together in one place should be opened for all people of faith, even if they live at the very ends of the earth. Such is the significance of the Unification Church’s large weddings: by forging global connections through the 430 Couples, it has developed into a worldwide race of people. It is not just for Koreans. The fact that I connected the 430 Couples to the 43 Couples on the foundation of the family on the world level signifies the birth of a new race transcending ethnicity and nationality. That is how I see it. (100-171, 1978.10.14)

1.1. Restoration through indemnity is the way of re-creation

Summary:
Indemnity is essential for spiritual re-creation because humans were born with a fallen nature 🔄 caused by Adam’s disbelief, ego, and self-centered love. Walking the path of indemnity willingly—even through suffering or hardship—is the only way to reverse the Fall, restore our original status before God, and achieve true salvation ✨.
