When God reaches the point where
He can embrace both vertical and hor-
izontal love, He will finally make the
transition to the age when He can go
beyond the world into the central posi-
tion and reorganize the original, ideal
authority. Then He will say, “Every-
thing is done.” (177-345, 1988.5.22)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1661

Ideally, Adam and Eve as a loving
couple giving birth to a child would
be the same as standing in God’s posi-
tion as the Parent, wherein His invisi-
ble Self, that is His internal nature and
external form, united and lovingly cre-
ated His children. The first Creator, the
invisible God, created Adam and Eve as
the visible second creators, and by their
giving birth to children from the posi-
tion of substantial second gods, they
are elevated to the position of parents.
Through these young children’s growth,
God’s past history is displayed substan-
tially, which also includes Adam and
Eve’s infancy, siblinghood, matrimony
and parenthood. Thus, parents desire
to love and be close to their children
because they are their second selves. (258-
240, 1994.3.20)

Chapter 1
God
Immanent and Dwelling within the Heart

Abiding within the heart, God is near at hand to each of us, if only we would notice. In the Bible, God’s immanence is described in the revelation to Elijah, where instead of a grand manifestation in earthquake and storm, God appeared as “a still small voice.” Through faith and humility we can sense God’s presence within. Yet God is in fact near to all, even though most are blind and deaf to His reality. In the Abrahamic religions, God’s immanence rarely leads to identification with the soul itself, but Eastern traditions teach more thoroughgoing notions of divine immanence. Sufis interpret the qur’anic parable of the Lamp as expressing God’s presence in the heart as a light illuminating the body. In Hinduism, divine immanence is ontological: Ultimate Reality is the Self, the Atman. In Buddhism, it is realization by the mind of its true nature: the Essence of Mind (Tathata) or Buddha-nature. Yet these conceptions in no way make a simple identification of God with the individual soul (jiva), which is beclouded and deluded by an egoistic sense of self; see also Chapter 7: Enlightenment. The complete realization of the God within is a potential and ideal, because that is our God-given purpose. As Father Moon teaches, God created each of us to encompass the universe and correspond with God’s heart.

Behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17.21

We indeed created man; and We know what his soul whispers within him, and We are nearer to him than the jugular vein. Qur’an 50.16

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4.12-13

That mind which gives life to all the people in the world— such is the very mind which nourishes me! Moritake Arakida, One Hundred Poems about the World (Shinto)

Why do you go to the forest in search of God? He lives in all and is yet ever distinct; He abides with you, too, As a fragrance dwells in a flower, And reflection in a mirror; So does God dwell inside everything; Seek Him, therefore, in your heart. Adi Granth, Dhanasri, M.9, p. 684 (Sikhism)

For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.” Isaiah 57.15

In the golden city of the heart dwells The Lord of Love, without parts, without stain. Know him as the radiant light of lights. There shines not the sun, neither moon nor star, Nor flash of lightning, nor fire lit on earth. The Lord is the light reflected by all. He shining, everything shines after him. Mundaka Upanishad 2.2.10-11

God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche, and within it a Lamp; the Lamp enclosed in Glass: The Glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it. Light upon Light! God guides whom He will to His Light: God sets forth parables for men, and God knows all things. Qur’an 24.35

The Lord takes his stand upon hearing, sight, touch, taste, smell, and upon the mind. He enjoys what mind and senses enjoy. Deluded men cannot trace his course. Only the eye of wisdom sees him clothed in the states of existence, going forth, being in the body, or taking in experience. Disciplined men can also make an effort and see his presence in themselves. Bhagavad-Gita 15.9-11 (Hinduism)

I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. John 14.20

Daibai asked Baso, “What is Buddha?” Baso answered, “This very mind is the Buddha.” Mumonkan 30 (Buddhism)

Within our Essence of Mind the Three Bodies of Buddha (Trikaya) are to be found, and they are common to everybody. Because the mind labors under delusions, he knows not his own inner nature; and the result is that he ignores the Trikaya within himself, erroneously believing that they are to be sought from without. Within yourself you will find the Trikaya which, being the manifestation of the Essence of Mind, are not to be sought from without.17 Sutra of Hui Neng 6 (Buddhism)

God said to Elijah… “Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.18 1 Kings 19.11-12

Today, by us celebrating Parents’
Day together, ownership has been con-
nected to you horizontally, in this era of
God’s direct dominion, whereas before
it moved vertically from all things of the
creation to the children. From this place
the seven stages of individual, family,
tribe, people, nation, world and cosmos
must be completed and connected to
the central line. They are all meant to be
connected, seven stages of man and the
seven stages of woman. (137-270, 1986.1.3)

The 36 Couples that have passed to

Didn’t Lee Sang-hun talk about all the

Blessed Couples are in a glorious posi-
tion. But if they did wrong, they will be
walking around wearing tags disclos-
ing this. Hell could be created there, as
well as the middle realm of spirit world.
When the satanic world is eradicated in
the future.…

God and Creation

Chapter 1
God
Omniscient and Omnipresent

Nothing is hidden from God, because He sees everything. He knows our past, our present and our future. There is no place to escape from God, because He is everywhere. Therefore, we should be sincere in our thoughts and careful about our actions. Not only is God aware of what we do; He also sympathizes with our difficulties. He is our companion in every situation; we are never alone. See also Chapter 11: Predestination.

To God belong the East and the West; wherever you turn, there is the Face of God; God is All-embracing, All-knowing. Qur’an 2.115

You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down, and you are acquainted with all my ways. Psalm 139.2-3

Our Lord! Lo! You know that which we hide and that which we proclaim. Nothing in the earth or in heaven is hidden from God. Qur’an 14.38

In The Book of Songs it is said, In your secret chamber even you are judged; See you do nothing to blush for,
Though but the ceiling looks down upon you. Therefore the moral man, even when he is not doing anything, is serious; and, even when he does not speak, is truthful. Doctrine of the Mean 33 (Confucianism)

Mark well three things and you will not fall into the clutches of sin: know what is above you— an eye that sees, an ear that hears, and all your actions recorded in the book. Mishnah, Avot 2.1 (Judaism)

Surely God—He knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it shall earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it shall die. Surely God is All-knowing, All-aware. Qur’an 31.34

The great Ruler of all these worlds, beholds as if from near at hand the man who thinks he acts by stealth: the Gods know all this of him. When one stands or walks or moves in secret, or goes to his lying down or uprising, when two sitting together take secret counsel, King Varuna knows, being there the Third… If one will go away beyond the heavens, still he cannot escape King Varuna; his envoys move about here from the heavens, and, thousand-eyed, they look upon the earth. King Varuna observes all that which lies between heaven and earth and beyond them; the twinklings of men’s eyes have been counted by him; as a dicer the dice, He measures everything. Atharva Veda 4.16.1-8 (Hinduism)

See you not that God knows all that is in the heavens and on earth? There is not a secret consultation between three unless He is their fourth, nor between five unless He is their sixth, nor between fewer or more unless He is in their midst, wherever they be. Qur’an 58.7

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend to heaven, thou art there! If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. Psalm 139.7-10

You who dive down as if under water to steal, Though no earthly king may have seen you, The King of heaven sees. Yoruba Proverb (African Traditional Religions)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2222

We might call Jesus Christ the King
of kings, the Lord of lords, or the main
representative of the Absolute Being.
However, there is no one who can stand
before him and be blessed with the title
of loyal subject or patriot. Please under-
stand this. No loyal subject, filial son,
or virtuous woman of heaven has yet
emerged.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1303

When we consider Korea, we can say
that the people who do not believe in God
correspond to the first Israel, the mem-
bers of existing churches correspond to
the second Israel, and the Unification
Church corresponds to the third Israel.
That is why Satan is attacking the center
of this providence. (19-268, 1968.2.20)

All that are rulers, kings, potentates, lords,

Their will is subject to God’s;
On God are they all dependent.

Then did I recognize Thee in mind,
to be the first and the last, O Lord,
Father of good thought,
when I apprehended Thee in my eye,
True creator of Right,
the Lord over the actions of life!
Avesta, Yasna 31.8 (Zoroastrianism)

Revere the anger of Heaven,
And presume not to make sport or be idle.
Revere the changing moods of Heaven,
And presume not to drive about at your
pleasure.
Great Heaven is intelligent,
And is with you in all your goings.
Great Heaven is clear-seeing,
And is with you in your wanderings and
indulgences.14
Book of Songs, Ode 254 (Confucianism)

The Wise One is the most mindful of the plans,
which, indeed, were wrought in the past,
By demons and by men,
and which will be wrought hereafter!
He, the Lord, is the sole decider,
so may it be unto us as He wills!
Avesta, Yasna 29.4 (Zoroastrianism)

Whoever vows to tyrannize over the humble
and the meek,
The Supreme Lord burns him in flames.
The Creator dispenses perfect justice
And preserves His devotee.
Adi Granth, Gauri, M.5, p. 199 (Sikhism)

Never mind if the people are not intimidated by
your [correct] authority. A mightier Authority
will deal with them in the end.
Tao Te Ching 72 (Taoism)

The great day of the Lord is near,
near and hastening fast;
the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter,
the mighty man cries aloud there.
A day of wrath is that day,15
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and devastation,
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
a day of trumpet blast and battle cry
against the fortified cities
and against the lofty battlements.
I will bring distress on men,
so that they shall walk like the blind,
because they have sinned against the Lord;
their blood shall be poured out like dust,
and their flesh like dung.
Neither their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them
on the day of the wrath of the Lord.
In the fire of his jealous wrath,
all the earth shall be consumed;
for a full, yea, sudden end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
Zephaniah 1.14-18

You will enter God’s original king-
dom if you absolutely go the way of loy-
alty and filial piety, but you will dou-
ble-back one hundred eighty degrees
and then drop straight into hell if you
oppose it.
Everyone must realize that free sex
is Satan’s domain of love filled with
ensnaring evil spirits to bring about the
downfall of humankind and expand
hell on earth. From the viewpoint of
the God of absolute love, the grand-
mother and grandfather are one; they
cannot be separated. They must abso-
lutely become one centering on God,
and centering on love. What is love? It
is fitting convex and concave together
absolutely; mother and father, husband
and wife, son and daughter – all must
unite in this way absolutely. This is what
God wants. (280-135, 1996.11.24)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1298

If a person who loves his or her fam-
ily is called a filial son or daughter, and
a person who loves his or her nation a
patriot, what do we call the person who
loves the world? We call that person a
saint. (Blessed Family – 925)

Chapter 1
God
Sovereign and Omnipotent

God is sovereign over the universe. He rules over the affairs of men and women; He decides their destinies. At the same time, since human beings have freedom whether to submit to God’s sovereignty, the proper course is to recognize God’s authority over our lives and make Him our Lord. This leads to the question of whether God’s sovereignty can be absolute. In this world, the claim that God invariably establishes justice by punishing evil and rewarding goodness is difficult to maintain. Nevertheless, God’s ultimate sovereignty is certain. Father Moon teaches in some depth about this matter. He asserts the principle that God can be sovereign only when people are in a state of perfection where they can freely submit to His dominion, yet due to the Human Fall this condition was not obtained. Instead, the Devil took possession of this world by usurping the human heart. Therefore, it is first necessary to expel the power of evil from the world and make it a domain over which God can reign without limitation. That day, Father Moon asserts, is now at hand.

1. Almighty God

The Creator of the heavens and the earth; and when He decrees a thing, He but says to it “Be,” and it is. Qur’an 2.117

All that is in the heavens and the earth magnifies God; He is the All-mighty, the All-wise. To Him belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life, and He makes to die, and He is powerful over everything. He is the First and the Last, the Outward and the Inward; He has knowledge of everything. It is He that created the heavens and the earth in six days then seated Himself upon the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth, and what comes forth from it, what comes down from heaven, and what goes up into it. He is with you wherever you are; and God sees the things you do. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and unto Him all matters are returned. He makes the night enter into the day and makes the day enter into the night. He knows the thoughts within the breasts. Qur’an 57.1-6

If He so will, He can remove you and put in your place a new creation; that is surely no great matter for God. Qur’an 14.19-20

You are the one imperishable paramount necessary core of knowledge, The world’s ultimate foundation; you never cease to guard the eternal tradition. You are the everlasting Divine Being. There is no telling what is beginning, middle, or end in you. Your power is infinite; your arms reach infinitely far. Sun and moon are your eyes. This is how I see you. Your mouth is a flaming sacrificial fire. You burn up the world with your radiance. For you alone fill the quarters of heaven and the space between heaven and earth. The world above, man’s world, and the world in between are frightened at the awesome sight of you, O mighty being! Bhagavad-Gita 11.18-20

(Hinduism) O mankind! It is you that have need of God: but God is the One Free of all wants, worthy of all praise. Qur’an 35.15

Language is one of the most chal-
lenging problems. When Koreans are
here, those who do not know Korean
have a difficult time. They look pitiful.
How great it would be if language were
unified! When I first came to America,
I only knew “Yes” and “No,” although I
had studied English through books. Can
you imagine how stifled I felt! You need
to know how necessary the unification
of language is. Do you wish to listen to
my speeches through an interpreter or
directly from me? Of course, you want to
listen to them in Korean. Why? Because
Korean is the original language. There-
fore, in studying the Principle, if you
do not know the original language, you
will not understand the meaning of the
words. Furthermore, when you go to
the spirit world in the future, will you
be proud if you can say, “I understood
Father’s speeches directly, without trans-
lation” or if you have to say, “I listened
to his words through an interpreter?”
Which? Moreover, they are words that
express the ideal world of love. Does it
mean anything to whisper words of love
through an interpreter? The fifth para-
graph of our former pledge says, “We are
proud of the one culture.” The question
is how that one culture can come about.
You should know that in the world of
heart you have no choice but to become
one. The one who truly desires one world
of heart cannot go without knowing
this. Now, when you reach out to some-
one because you love them so much,
your feet move first before any thoughts
about love. Your feet move first, and not
the loving thought. How foolish this is! If
you think about eating in the same way,
it is as though you enjoyed eating left-
overs. Without the tradition and spirit
of the ideal family the ideal world can-
not appear.

Originally, amid the greatest joy,
both Adam and Eve should have dis-
played the highest vitality, combined
the greatest energy, and even demon-
strated the power of the ideals of all
creation. In such a place the flower of
love should bloom. Thus, by blossom-
ing like a flower, love’s fragrance would
have overflowed into the entire uni-
verse. God dreamt of such love in which
He could gaze at that flower, smell its
fragrance and be enraptured with it.
(104-44, 1979.3.28)

Chapter 1
God
Transcendent Reality

Transcendence is an essential attribute of the Absolute Being. God’s glory fills the world, but the world cannot exhaust God. God is the Ground of Being and the Source of energy within every atom and the life of all creatures. He is the center of the universe and holds all things together. Yet God’s involvement in the world in no way limits or affects His transcendence and absoluteness. How can finite human beings connect with the transcendent God? Some passages recommend that we apply the principle of transcendence in our daily life, by overcoming the limitations of nation and race in our dealings with others. Others speak of getting in touch with the deepest part of our own mind, where the Absolute Being chooses to make His dwelling place.

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory. Isaiah 6.3

God! there is no God but He, the Living, the Everlasting. Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who is there who shall intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows what lies before them and what is after them, and they comprehend not anything of His knowledge save such as He wills. His throne comprises the heavens and earth; the preserving of them oppresses Him not; He is the All-high, the All-glorious. Qur’an 2.255: The Throne Verse

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or as his counselor has instructed him? Whom did he consult for his enlightenment, and who taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as the dust on the scales… All the nations are as nothing before him, they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness. Isaiah 40.12-17

The Supreme Being is thousand-headed, Thousand eyed, thousand footed; Pervading the earth on all sides, He exists beyond the ten directions. The Supreme Being, indeed, is all this, What has been and what will be, The Lord of immortality As well as of mortal creatures. Such is his magnificence, but The Supreme Being is even greater than this; All beings are a fourth of him, Three-fourths—his immortality—lie in heaven. Three-fourths of the Supreme Being ascended; The fourth part came here again and again, Diversified in form, it moved To the animate and the inanimate world. Rig Veda 10.90.1-4 (Hinduism)

Thou art the fire Thou art the sun Thou art the air Thou art the moon Thou art the starry firmament Thou art Brahman Supreme; Thou art the waters—thou, the Creator of all! Thou art woman, thou art man, Thou art the youth, thou art the maiden, Thou art the old man tottering with his staff; Thou facest everywhere. Thou art the dark butterfly, Thou art the green parrot with red eyes, Thou art the thundercloud, the seasons, the seas. Without beginning art thou, Beyond time and space. Thou art he from whom sprang The three worlds. Svetasvatara Upanishad 4.2-4 (Hinduism)

The Self is one. Ever still, the Self is Swifter than thought, swifter than the senses. Though motionless, He outruns all pursuit. Without the Self, never could life exist. The Self seems to move, but is ever still. He seems far away, but is ever near. He is within all, and He transcends all. The Self is everywhere. Bright is the Self, Indivisible, untouched by sin, wise, Immanent and transcendent. He it is who holds the cosmos together. Isha Upanishad 4-8 (Hinduism )

There was something undifferentiated and yet complete, which existed before heaven and earth. Soundless and formless, it depends on nothing and does not change. It operates everywhere and is free from danger. It may be considered the mother of the universe. I do not know its name; I call it Tao. If forced to give it a name, I shall call it Great. Being great means functioning everywhere. Functioning everywhere means far-reaching. Being far-reaching means returning to the original point. Tao Te Ching 25 (Taoism)

Divinity existed before the appearance of heaven and earth and gives form to them; it surpasses the yin and the yang, yet has the quality of them. Divinity is thus the absolute existence, governing the entire universe. Yet at the same time it dwells within all things, where it is called spirit; omnipresent within human beings, it is called mind. In other words, the human mind communes with Divinity, which is ruler of heaven and earth; mind and Divinity are one and the same. Divinity is the root origin of heaven and earth, the spiritual nature of all things, and the source of human destiny. Itself without form, Divinity nurtures things with form. Kanetomo Yoshida, An Outline of Shinto

Beyond the senses is the mind, beyond the mind is the intellect, higher than the intellect is the Great Atman [the original mind], higher than the Great Atman is the Umanifest. Beyond the Unmanifest is the Person, all-pervading, and imperceptible.11 Katha Upanishad 2.3.7-8 (Hinduism)

Buddha abides in the infinite, the unobstructed, ultimate realm of reality, in the realm of space, in the essence of True Thusness, without birth or death, and in ultimate truth… How should enlightening beings see the body of Buddha? (Dharmakaya) They should see the body of Buddha in infinite places. Why? They should not see Buddha in just one thing, one phenomenon, one body, one land, one being—they should see Buddha everywhere. Just as space is omnipresent, in all places, material or immaterial, yet without either arriving or not arriving there, because space is incorporeal, in the same way Buddha is omnipresent, in all places, in all beings, in all things, in all lands, yet neither arriving nor not arriving there, because Buddha’s body is incorporeal, manifesting a body for the sake of sentient beings.12 Garland Sutra 37 (Buddhism)

The Way is like an empty vessel That yet may be drawn from Without ever needing to be filled. It is bottomless; the very progenitor of all things in the world. In it all sharpness is blunted, All tangles untied, All glare tempered, All dust smoothed. It is like a deep pool that never dries. Tao Te Ching 4 (Taoism)
