Adam is the ancestor of all males and
Eve the ancestress of all females. In oth-
er words, they are the seeds of man and
woman. They are two halves. Everything
is made up of two halves enclosed in a
single shell, symbolizing God and the
universe. Within the unified God are
dual characteristics, and within them
the embryo, seed and nucleus. (253-249,
1994.1.30)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 629

What is the center of the spirit world?
It is a world structured and centered on
the One Absolute God, the originator of
the universe from the beginning. There
is nothing He has not created. Since all
things belong to Him, they feel as He
feels and exist in relationship to Him.
For example, the human body consists
of one hundred trillion cells. When any
of the cells at any part of the body feels
something, it directly relays it to the
brain. It is the same for all creatures that
have been connected to their Creator
since the universe was created.
What is more, we are born and live
with consciousness, pursuing goodness
and higher value as well as experiencing
the grief of others? All these attributes
did not originate from human beings
but from the origin of humankind. We
can say that human life is a process of
going towards the resultant world which
leads us to the origin. (140-121, 1986.2.9)

The Judgement

2. The Sorting, for Heaven or Hell

The hour is coming when all who are in the
tombs will hear his voice and come forth, those
who have done good, to the resurrection of life,
and those who have done evil, to the resurrec-
tion of judgment.
John 5.28-29

Towards the wicked man and the righteous one
And him in whom right and wrong meet
Shall the Judge act in upright manner,
According to the laws of the present existence.
Avesta, Yasna 33.1 (Zoroastrianism)

He, having effected an activity of body that
is harmful, effected an activity of speech that
is harmful, effected an activity of mind that
is harmful, arises in a world that is harmful.
Because he has uprisen in a world that is harm-
ful, harmful sensory impingements assail him.
He, being assailed by harmful sensory impinge-
ments, experiences a harmful feeling, without
exception painful, even as do creatures in Niraya
Hell. In this way, there is the uprising of a being
from what he has come to be; he uprises accord-
ing to what he does; when he has uprisen sen-
sory impingements assail him. So I speak thus:
Creatures are heir to deeds.
Majjhima Nikaya 1.389-90, Kukkuravatikasutta
(Buddhism)

For the Son of man is to come with his angels
in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay
every man for what he has done.
Matthew 16.27

Naturally every Hopi wants to join the spirits
of his loved ones who have passed beyond. To
that end he keeps his heart pure and is kind and
generous to other people.
     When a bad person, one who is known
as “not-Hopi,” dies, his fate is very different.
Witches called the “Two Hearts” take him by
the hand as soon as the breath is out of his body,
and they lead him away to their own country.
The country of the Two Hearts is as bad as they
are themselves.
Hopi Tradition (Native American Religions)

The Trumpet will be sounded, and whoever is in
heaven and whoever is on earth will be stunned,
except for someone God may wish. Then another
[blast] will be blown and behold, they will stand
there watching! The earth will shine through
its Lord’s light and the Book will be laid open.
Prophets and witnesses will be brought in, and
judgment will be pronounced among them for-
mally, and they will not be harmed. Every soul
will be repaid for whatever it has done; He is
quite aware of what they are doing.
     The ones who disbelieve will be driven
along to hell in throngs until, just as they come
up to it, its gates will swing open and its keepers
will say to them, “Did not messengers come to
you from among yourselves reciting your Lord’s
verses to you and warning you about meeting
[Him] on this day of yours?” They will say, “Of
course!” But the Sentence about torment has
still come due for disbelievers. Someone else will
say, “Enter hell’s gates to remain there. What an
awful lodging will it be for the overbearing!”
     The ones who have heeded their Lord will be
driven along to the Garden in throngs until just
as they come up to it, its gates will swing open
and its keepers will tell them, “Peace be upon
you! You have been good, so enter it to remain
there.” They will say, “Praise be to God who has
held true to His promise for us and let us inherit
the earth! We shall settle down anywhere we
wish to in the Garden. How favored are such
workers’ wages!”
Qur’an 39.68-74

At the gates of the land of the dead
You will pass before a searching Judge.
His justice is true and He will examine your
     feet,
He will know how to find every stain,
Whether visible or hidden under the skin;
If you have fallen on the way He will know.
If the Judge finds no stains on your feet
Open your belly to joy, for you have overcome
And your belly is clean.

All North Korean citizens are
equipped with Kim Il-sung’s Juche ide-
ology. We must equip ourselves with the
ideology of true love that is capable of
assimilating them. North Korea is a part
of northern civilization which has been
influenced by the cold winds of soviet
civilization. We must work to naturally
melt them with our temperate zone civi-
lization. Otherwise, both our countries
will come to ruin. Thus, we must thor-
oughly equip ourselves with the ideol-
ogy of true love. This ideology must not
be one that seeks the fulfillment of indi-
vidual desires, but must rather seek the
salvation of all humanity. It must not
be self-centered, but instead serve the
greater good. Communists have the idea
that everyone should work for the sake
of a few top party leaders. This is why
they eliminate any person who stands
out as a potential rival. We are not that
way. Our idea is to unite with the cor-
responding environment in order to
establish a higher reciprocal standard,
that is, for Cain and Abel to unite so
as to receive their parents who are on
a higher level. In other words, we must
become able to impress them with how
we live. We must be able to amaze those
people equipped with communist ideol-
ogy in terms of our view of life and our
standard of character.

If you have the opportunity to attend
a Blessing Ceremony, you should not go
thinking you are just a man or a wom-
an and there is nothing else to it. When
you attend the ceremony, you are there
representing men and women who have
come and gone in the world over the past
six thousand years. You must under-
stand that you have been invited as such.
You should experience this reality deep
in your heart. (30-169, 1970. 3.22)

The Judgement

After the initial passage into the afterlife, there is another, less comfortable event. each individual undergoes a judgment where he must review his life with unsparing honesty. there is a ledger recording every deed, and its consequences on the people it affected. now that book is opened and read. the movie that re-corded the person’s life is projected onto the screen of his mind. everything comes to light.
     The main criterion of judgment seems to be the deeds. Did the person live more to benefit others, or did he use others to benefit himself? scriptures describe a trial scene, with God as judge, Jesus or Muhammad as defense attorney, and sometimes the devil as prosecutor. God is bound to pass sentence based upon the evi-dence. on this point, Father Moon offers a unique insight: to overcome satan’s accusation at the judgment, we should win over the person or persons who most hate and accuse us on earth. he calls it loving ‘Cain.’
     Scriptures describe a gate that only the righteous may enter, a “bridge of the separator” that only the righteous may cross, and a fire that burns up all falsehood and leaves only what is genuine. the spirit world has various abodes, heavens and hells, welcoming the soul according to its condition. spirits are sorted out, and each goes to its appropriate place. no guards are required to keep out the unworthy; no policemen to direct traffic, for each person naturally goes to the place most fitting to his or her character and past life.

  1. The Life Review

For God will bring every deed into judgment,
with every secret thing, whether good or evil.
Ecclesiastes 12.14

For nothing is covered that will not be revealed,
or hidden that will not be known.
Matthew 10.26

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who
sat upon it; from His presence earth and sky
fled away, and no place was found for them.
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing
before the throne, and books were opened. Also
another book was opened, which is the book
of life. And the dead were judged by what was
written in the books, by what they had done.
Revelation 20.11-12

When the earth is shaken with her earthquake
And the earth yields up her burdens,
And man says, “What ails her?”
That day she will relate her chronicles
Because your Lord inspires her.
That day mankind will issue forth in scattered
groups to be shown their deeds.
And whoever has done good, an atom’s weight
will see it then,
And whoever has done ill, an atom’s weight
will see it then.
Qur’an 99

And every man’s augury have We fastened to
his own neck, and We shall bring forth for him
on the Day of Resurrection a book which he will
find wide open. “Read your book! Your soul suf-
fices as a reckoner against you this day.”
Qur’an 17.13-14

After you depart this life, God shall demand a
reckoning of your deeds
That in His ledger are recorded.
Those that are rebellious, shall be summoned.
Azrael, the angel of death, will hover over
them,
And trapped in a blind alley they will know not
any escape.
Saith Nanak, Falsehood must be destroyed;
Truth in the end shall prevail.
Adi Granth, Ramkali-ki-Var 13, M.1, p. 953 (Sikhism)

On the day when man’s time arrives to depart
from the world, when the body is broken and
the soul seeks to leave it, on that day man is
privileged to see things that he was not permit-
ted to see before, when the body was in full vigor.
Three messengers stand over him and take an
account of his life and of all that he has done
in this world, and he admits all with his mouth
and signs the account with his hand… as it is
written, “that every man should acknowledge
his works.” (Job 37:7)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2233

The depth of true love incorporates
everything, going all the way back to the
beginning – when God was born. You
have no idea how deep it is! It started at
the very origin of His existence. Even
after a lifetime, we can never get there,
and even after going to the next world,
we will continue developing toward that
goal for eternity. So it is inconceivable
that husbands and wives would fight
and separate from each other.

Cheong Seong Gyeong 1378

To the extent that all the 30,000 Cou-
ples stood on an equal footing at the
time of their Blessing, the True Parents
assumed the responsibility of elevating
all humankind to a liberated position.
Anyone can be included in the Blessing
as long as they have attended a seven-
day workshop; pledged to convert their
lineage, right of ownership and realm
of heart; and understood that human
beings fell and that through the Bless-
ing, the True Parents can indemnify
all of human history and liberate them.

The Passage Beyond

2.First Moments in the Afterlife

The body which you have now is called the
thought-body of propensities. Since you do not
have a material body of flesh and blood, what-
ever may come—sounds, lights, or rays—are, all
three, unable to harm you; you are incapable of
dying. It is quite sufficient for you to know that
these apparitions are your own thought-forms.
Recognize this to be the Bardo (the intermedi-
ate state after death).
Tibetan Book of the Dead (Buddhism)

When the soul departs from this world she
knows not by what path she will be made to
travel; for it is not granted to all souls to ascend
by the way that leads to the realm of radiance
where the choicest souls shine forth. For it is the
path taken by man in this world that determines
the path of the soul on her departure. Thus, if a
man is drawn towards the Holy One, and is filled
with longing for Him in this world, the soul in
departing from him is carried upward towards
the higher realms by the impetus given her each
day in this world.
Zohar 1.99a-b (Judaism)

If we do not improve our time while in this life,
then comes the night of darkness wherein there
can be no labor performed. You cannot say,
when you are brought to that awful crisis, that
I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay,
you cannot say this; for that same spirit which
possesses your bodies at the time that you go out
of this life, that same spirit will have power to
possess your body in that eternal world.
Book of Mormon, Alma 34.33-35 (Latter-day Saints)

Those who remember me at the time of death
will come to me. Do not doubt this. Whatever
occupies the mind at the time of death deter-
mines the destiny of the dying; always they
will tend toward that state of being. Therefore,
remember me at all times…
Remembering me at the time of death, close
down the doors of the senses and place the
mind in the heart. Then, while absorbed in
meditation, focus all energy upwards towards the
head. Repeating in this state the divine Name,
the syllable OM that represents the changeless
Brahman, you will go forth from the body and
attain the supreme goal. 16

The Universe is an Expansion of the Family

Cheon Seong Gyeong 441

What is the universe? It is an expan-
sion of the family. If you look at a fam-
ily that has completely realized the ideal
of family love, it has a top, middle and
bottom (parents, husband and wife, and
children), left and right, and front and
back. This is the principle. So when we
talk about top and bottom we mean the
parents and children, when we talk about
left and right we mean the husband and
wife, and when we talk about front and
back we mean the brothers and sisters.
Through what do they all become one? It
doesn’t happen through power, knowl-
edge or money. Then what can bring
it about? It is love. This is an absolute
truth. Otherwise the sphere cannot be
formed. Then what are the top, middle
and bottom in our family? They are a
textbook of love. They are a textbook of
love through which we can encounter
universal love. Go out into society and
put it into practice. How should we love?
Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as your-
self.” How should we follow this teach-
ing? We are not sure. When you go out
into the world and meet a grandfather,
treat him as your own grandfather. Treat
people like your own mothers, like your
own fathers or like your own sons. When
you go out into the world you should all
live like this. The people of the top, mid-
dle and bottom, front and back, and left
and right are all displayed in the exhibi-
tion hall of the world. You should know
that the world is an exhibition of people.
If you can love everyone with such love,
God will dwell in the midst of that love.
(128-22, 1983.5.29)

Cheong Seong Gyeong 1300

The Blessed Families that are unit-
ed with my family make up a new tribe.
As time progresses, they will grow in
number and form a new race. Further
expansion will bring forth a new nation,
and finally a new world. In other words,
a new race, the race of the third Israel
will be formed. For example, it is part
of the work of the Unification Church
to enable Japanese people to become
those who will inherit the new realm
of the lineage of God, instead of merely
remaining as those who inherit the lin-
eage of their historical Japanese ances-
tors. (22-197, 1969.2.2)

The Passage Beyond

  1. The Second Birth

The Teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon

It is natural to want to resemble God, and for God to want His children to resemble Him. Therefore, there should be a way for God to bring us to where He is. It is inevitable that humans should be reborn as beings that resemble God. Both God and human beings look forward to that day of our rebirth. How does that happen? Through death.
     Then, shouldn’t human beings welcome death? We die to experience God’s true love. Discarding the physical body enables us to participate in the infinite realm of God’s activity, and contribute to the world of God’s love.
     Death is to be born in the midst of God’s love! Yet earthly people grieve over death. Does this make God laugh or cry? You should understand that death is the moment of your second birth. It is a joyful moment when you leave the finite realm of love and enter the infinite realm of love.
     On which day is God happier, the day of your physical birth or the day when you are born as God’s son or daughter to live and love in the infinite world? Why am I saying this? Unless you are liberated from the fear of death, you cannot establish a relationship with God. (116:172, January 1, 1982)
 
Humans grow through three stages: formation, growth and completion. Likewise, they pass through three different worlds: the water world where they float in the mother’s womb, the earth world where they walk, and the air world where they can fly. Hence, we live three lives: 10 months in the womb, 100 years of life on earth, and eternal life in the spirit world. (297:257, December 19, 1998)
 
While in the womb you breathed through the umbilical cord. Meanwhile, your nostrils, a pipeline to the air, were being prepared so that you could breathe after you were born into the physical world. Likewise, while you live in the earthly world, what should you do to prepare for the next? You should experience love. You should breathe the ‘air’ of love from your father and mother. As you grow, you should pass through all the stages of love as a sibling, husband and wife, parent and grandparent.
     The moment you were born, your life was destined to end. When it does, the body will be dissolved. Then, just as you were born as an infant, on the day you die you will experience a new birth as an infant.
     What happens in that birth? You are pushed out of the world of the second womb and connected to the breathing organ for your third life, to breathe love. You are pushed out of the womb, a world where you experienced the love of your parents and siblings, to enter a new world of love where you will harmonize with the original Being, the God of the great universe.
     The spirit world is filled with the air of love. The air of love! That is why, while you live on earth, you should be installing that pipeline you will depend upon to breathe love. Know that if you have spiritual experiences and feel spiritual love—if you are able to breathe the air of love—you shall not die. (139:213-14, January 31, 1986)
 
We cannot remember how difficult it was for our mother to give birth to us. Why did God make birthing so difficult? Why isn’t it as easy as speaking or eating? The reason why God made giving birth a life-risking experience for the mother is because He wants her to see His radiant love.
     In electricity, there is something called a current spike. The instant a switch is turned on, a twenty or thirty-fold burst of electricity flows through the circuit. By the same token, the moment when human beings are desperate, they generate an explosive amount of energy. A mother gives birth a death-like state with her eyes popping out, as if heaven and earth were being destroyed. Then the baby utters its first loud cry, and her eyes open wide; she totally forgets her pain. Having given birth in such pain, the mother naturally loves her child more than anything.
     How difficult is it to be born? The amniotic sack that was our home breaks. The placenta that had nourished us is cast off. Yet these events are not disastrous; they are rather fortunate, for the sake of our happiness. Yet we do not realize that it was a new beginning of life until after the birth was over…
     Again the time comes, after living our earthly life, to kick away from this physical plane and depart for a new world. Nevertheless, as a fetus does not want to leave the safety of its mother’s womb, we would rather continue to live on earth. We do not want to die. Death comes, and once again we go through a big tumult.
     Yet we will be born into the spirit world, an infinite world. We will escape from the bounds of time and space, able to travel instantly from one end of the spirit world to the other, faster than the speed of light. (107:42, January 20, 1980)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 491

f I were to ask those of you who are
middle-aged or older, “When you were
young and looking for a spouse, did you
want to find someone better or worse
than you?” you would all give the same
answer: “Someone better”. No matter
whom you ask, in the East or West, you
will hear the same response. Similarly,
in the relationship between parents and
children, parents never want their chil-
dren to be second-rate. For example, if a
good-looking couple marries and has a
baby who is nowhere near as good-look-
ing as the parents, the couple still wants
to hear praise about the appearance of
their child. (77-102, 1975.4.1)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1272

In what way can you connect to
the heart of God? You cannot connect
with His heart through logic. It is only
through the lineage that you can con-
nect with Him. Have you all inherited
the lineage of the heart of God? You
didn’t know about that until now. That
is why before you have to go through
the ceremony of converting the lineage
to receive the Blessing. At the time of
the ceremony, you must reach a state of
nothingness, feeling that you have noth-
ing. You have to reach the state where
you feel you do not have a body. You
should have a firm conviction that the
point where the blood and flesh of the
True Parents can be inherited begins
with yourself. (180-159, 1988.8.22)

Dreams

Dreams are one means that God uses to reveal Himself. Hence, dreams may give important revelations… some dreams are correct and come true.
     Because of the Human Fall, we belong to the satanic lineage or bloodline. As we move about, that satanic blood circulates through our bodies. It stirs up like muddy water in a glass tube. However, when we sleep the body is at rest, and the blood circulation slows. It can be compared to the sediment settling to the bottom of the tube and clear water rising to the top. Then our original, clear mind can be touched by Heaven. This is why revelations usually come through dreams. At that time, God may teach us using images and symbols.
     How do you distinguish whether a particular dream is just a random dream, a revelation from God or an image from Satan? Satanic dreams do not have a clear picture, direction, or central theme. They are jumbled, and when you get up you easily forget them. In contrast, a heavenly dream is coherent and contains a clear theme. It often continues a message from one dream to the next. If you have consistent dreams three nights in a row, then you should recognize it as a revelation from God. A heavenly dream will be so clear in your mind that you will recall it vividly when you wake up. You do not forget it, because God and human beings are meant to be united for eternity.
     On the other hand, satanic dreams are quickly forgotten because any relationship with Satan is temporary. They do not sway those of you who remain in constant contact with the good spirit world, because you have experienced heavenly dreams and know how to recognize them. Still, you are beset by nightmares and temptations from Satan’s world. Psychologists call them manifestations of the subconscious. Still, they are easily forgotten. They are not like dreams from God, which are vivid, unexpected and unforgettable. (91:272-75, February 27, 1977)
 
Don’t ignore revelations or dreams. Pray and make sincere devoted efforts to receive such experi-ences. How to adapt them to our real lives, and how to apply them to the practical reality: this is most important in a life of faith. (76:153, February 2, 1975)
 
First you may have a premonition (amshi). For instance, while casually walking down the street, you see a sitting bird on the wall of a house suddenly fly away in front of you. You sense something unusual; it is an indirect hint that something special is about to happen.
     The next stage is to have unusual dreams (mongshi). They are not like the dreams you normally have in a deep sleep. Saint Paul experienced the third heaven in a dream-like state. Never let such an experience slip by. You should, instead, put it all together and analyze it from a scientific perspective, seeking to understand its meaning for you. When it can speak to you about what direction you should take, you will definitely see a result. These unforgettable dreams are 100 percent accurate. Have such experiences in your life.
     If you reach that level, what will happen next? You will receive a revelation (gyeshi) or a direction (jishi). Revelations require interpretation but directions do not; that is the difference between the two. God can teach you through a voice or a vision. You may have a vision of a pair of deer drinking water at a brook and looking at the distant mountains on a beautiful spring day; this is a very good sign that something good might happen. Soon after you have the vision, a corresponding event will occur; it is never a coincidence. Through this, God is cultivating the field of your heart.
     Beyond the stage of revelations, you will reach the stage of trance (mookshi).14 A trance is like traveling to the spirit world and experiencing its wonders. When you can connect to that world, you can even arrive at the realm of God’s feelings. Treasure all these experiences, and apply their lessons to your life. Your life of faith is precious, and you should cultivate it.
     Finally, you reach the point where you can experience the great resultant world of God in your daily life. At this stage, God’s instructions will be in your mind. You try to talk pleasantries to someone, but you cannot speak. You want to say a few words of encouragement, but instead you utter a reproach. When such incomprehensible phenomena take place, you must learn to control the situation. Otherwise, people might think you are insane. (76:130-35, February 2, 1975)
