Everything and everyone can become a friend through true love. Even rocks can speak in a certain way; they will talk about how they came into existence at the time of creation, their mode of life, and much else. Of course God is aware of all this. No matter how majestic and unyielding mountains may seem, they will want to receive love from God. If He were to cast His eyes upon a mountain and ask, “How did you come to be so big?” would He reprimand the mountain if it replied, “I became so big to give joy to You”? Each and every being in the world is affected by love; all of them have become objects of love. (183-49, 1988.10.29)

What is my one and only hope? How will God treat me when I enter the spirit world? When I come into His presence, God will be sitting on His throne, but will jump down in an instant in spite of Himself. He will embrace me and kiss me for my labors and say, “May eternal blessings be upon you.” My wish is to see that day. I cannot die, even if I want to, without leaving those works behind on earth. You must understand that these are the circumstances of the True Parent. (264-63, 1994.10.9)

Section 3. For Human Beings, the Eternal
Element of Life is Love

You shouldn’t forget that while you lived as an embryo, you not
only received nutrition from your mother but you also received
love from her. Likewise, people living on earth are not only
receiving physical nutrition from the universe but also love from
God, who is the essential element of life. (Blessed Family -1062)

Just as all plants absorb sunlight as an element of life, love is an
element of life for people. Our hope is that the Kingdom of
Heaven on earth or the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven be built
where we can live eternally in love and in adoration. (Blessed
Family -1062)

Human beings are born through love and grow through their
childhood while receiving love. After a certain stage of growth,
parental love is not enough, and their love expands horizontally
through the love among brothers and sisters and the love of the tribe.
In other words, they grow to maturity while receiving all kinds of love
in heaven and earth. When they reach young adulthood, they
particularly thirst for love with the opposite sex. Engaging in this love
leads them to a more comprehensive love, through which they finally
find the center of love. (Blessed Family -1062)

The paths that man and woman walk exist because of love and for
the sake of love. My path is the path of love. I move in order to
attain love, keep love, and form an environment of love. It is also
for the sake of love that women put on cosmetics and receive
massages. Wanting something and doing work are all for the sake
of love. We overcome hardship and move on in order to attain
precious love. (Blessed Family -1066)

From the time we are born, we are receiving parental love. As long
as our parents are alive, they love us at any stage of life, be it the
period of childhood, the period of youth, or the period of middle
age. When we grow up receiving parental love, horizontal love of
husband and wife is bound to happen to each of us. (Blessed
Family -1062)

What do you think marriage is? It is a school, a place where the men
learn something they did not know about women, and women learn
something they did not know about men. All their grades should be
A’s in order for the husband and wife to be pleased. You have sons
and daughters for the sake of learning how to love the world.
Without them, you cannot be connected to the future.

Your sons and daughters are given to you as educational materials
through which you can be connected to the future world.
Fulfilling your filial duties to your ancestors and grandfather and
grandmother is like receiving education from the spirit world. All
these things are connected through love. The grandfather and
grandmother, husband and wife, and sons and daughters are all
connected through love. Just like the blood vessels in the human
body flow up and down, you can go up and down all the way to
your ancestors of 10 million generations in the spirit world and
also reach your distant descendants through this. So you should
know that this is how spirit world and the universe are organized.
All things will be governed in this way. We can say that becoming
a servant of love and a slave of love is the greatest happiness.
(Blessed Family -1062)

    For this reason, you should go through a process of passing the fearful judgment of substance. That is the law. On that day, a foundation of heart will automatically come into being. When you work hard fundraising and witnessing, why do people persecute and accuse you? That experience allows you to find heart, a heart you did not have, and to find love. It happens so that you can love such people.
    Without undergoing such a training course, however much you try to become heavenly people, you will not make it. In other words, you should find love greater than that in the satanic world. Otherwise you cannot go to heaven. We are trying to go to heaven by finding love and only those who have found love can go there.
    Who will be the Lords of judgment at that time? God, Jesus, and I will be the Lords of Judgment. Therefore you should put these things into practice. You should know that this is the task we are confronting and it is God’s command. (103-236, 1979.3.1)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1566

Now that the vertical and horizontal eight-stage indemnity has all been completed, the Ceremony of the Settlement of the Eight Stages could be performed on August 31, 1989, in Alaska, the most northerly location in the West. It is the northernmost place. On the first day of September, I declared “the ideology centered on the Heavenly Father” at the same place. The ideology centered on the Heavenly Father is simultaneously the ideology of salvation by love as well as the ideology of parental love. This parent-centered ideology is all about a life lived by giving love. Satan cannot oppose anything based on love. If he cannot oppose the path taken by the Unification Church, we can rapidly expand worldwide. (199-157, 1990.2.16)

Section 2. Life in its Original Form

What do you think is the cause of human existence? The cause of
human existence is love. Then where do you think the purpose of
human existence lies? The purpose of human existence lies in
completing the ideal of love. Human beings came into being
through love, and so their purpose is to perfect love by forming a
foundation of love and expanding and connecting it. In other
words, since the beginning is love, the purpose has to be reached
through love as well. For this, a man and a woman in partnership
must become one in love and connect front and back, left and
right, and above and below. (Blessed Family -1062)

When you enter the spirit world, you will not need to farm but rather you will 834 Book 6 • Our Life and the Spiritual Realm just eat and be at leisure. Then how will you enjoy yourself? You have to think about this. Do you think you would become bored? How would you enjoy your life if you were not involved in any disputes? How can you enjoy life without something that you would never tire of, even in a thousand years, something you would enjoy touching and listening to for thousands of years, even for billions of years? Food, you can eat everyday. Spirit world is a place where you easily can find anything you wish to eat and do anything you like. (279-21, 1996.6.9)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 692

Because you received the precious thing called the Blessing, the door is open for you, but you cannot enter because you are not dressed in formal attire. You must go to the banquet house in formal attire. Can a groomsman go to a wedding in work clothes? Think about it. You have to dress appropriately for the occasion in order to go there and be welcomed into that environment. Otherwise you will be thrown out. People will say to you, “Get lost, blockhead!”

CHAPTER THREE

Our Course of Life
Centered on Love

Section 1. Why Are Human Beings Born?

If we ask ourselves whether life or love is first, we can claim each
to be first. But which do you think really comes first? It is love that
comes first. Relating this to the core of the universe, in order for
something to have value, there must be an original flow of love.
043-277, 1986.3.20)

When we examine where life comes from, we must ask the
question as to which comes first, life or love. Until now we have
not been able to discern this clearly. Love comes first, then life.
Because what comes second must meekly surrender to what
comes first, it is natural that we offer our lives for the sake of love.
This is the way things are. This then provides an answer as to the
true course for our life. Since our life is born in love, the
conclusion is that we must walk the way of love and die for love.

The purpose of human life is to find the love that the macrocosm,
not the microcosm, is able to welcome. It is to be born, to love and
to die in the midst of the great universal love that God, creation,
our parents, and the angelic world all acknowledge. This is how I
see it. (Blessed Family – 1062)

Human beings are not born based on their own choice. Then, are
they born due to their parents’ wishes? No. They are born due to
God’s desire. They are born through the love of their parents,
which represents God’s love. The person, who is born as a new life
through parental love, representing God’s love, is I. Love has the
power to create everything. The one who is born as the center of
the whole universe by receiving all the love of the universe is none
other than I. The highest purpose of life is to be born through
love, be raised in love, live by love, and to leave love behind. The
most valuable thing to do is to fulfill, in the family, the rules of
love that lie at the center of the universe. (Blessed Family – 1062)

You should understand why human beings are born. They are not
born for the sake of knowledge or political power. They are born
because of love and from love. Then what makes love so great? It
is the fact that love is the original source of life. You are born in
the midst of your parents’ love.

You are not born out of your parents’ desire for money or
knowledge. Since you are born in love like this, you should bear
fruits of love. This is why you need children. A husband and wife
become complete when they become one and have sons and
daughters as their object partners. (Blessed Family – 1062)

Human beings cannot exist apart from love. Therefore, we can say that
“I” live on the foundation of love. All things also originate in God’s love.
The existence of all things began on the foundation of love, so it is
undeniable that human beings, as the center of the created universe,
must also have begun in love. (Blessed Family – 1062)

Since human beings begin in love and mature through love, they cannot
live separated from the standard of love. (Blessed Family -1062)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 387

If a beautiful man and a beautiful woman, each created as God’s greatest work of art, were to make love centering on God, this would be a sublime expression of the highest, most transcendental love, rather than worldly love. This love is the most beautiful and representative love, the kind of love that will shine for all of eternity. (26-153, 1969.10.25)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 717

In order to be registered, we must go to the original homeland. But this is not a simple thing to do. We must follow procedures completely. In any country or land you visit and at any place in the Republic of Korea there is an area where you must register. Whoever you find seated at that counter, be it a man or woman, from whatever walk of life, they must stamp your passport. (177-310, 1988.5.22)
Richard: True Father, Rev. Moon has stated that we need to register by studying the Word (Hoon Dok Hae). In this analogy, you could say that True Father is the person seated behind the counter. We register by studying his words. The other necessary condition is to be Blessed.

Chapter Two

The Family Is the Model for the
Kingdom of Heaven

Section 8. The Family Is the Final Standard for
Completing the Cosmos-centered Ideology

From where is the Kingdom of Heaven realized? It is realized
from our families. Then what kind of ideology do we have? We
have a family-centered ideology. The word cosmos-ism (cosmos-
centered ideology) contains cheon meaning heaven
and ju meaning house; so it means the ideology of heaven’s house.
Only then does the meaning of the cosmos (cheon ju) become
clear. The sixty-six books of the Bible are filled with words that
desire an ideal family. Furthermore what is it that all men desire?
It is to have an ideal wife. Also the greatest desire of a woman is to
meet an ideal husband. No matter how proud and famous a
woman who has a doctorate may be, her desire is to meet an ideal
man, an ideal man she can love and with whom she can have her
beloved sons and daughters. This is the root of happiness. The
ideal of the Unification Church does not lie somewhere else. The
beginning is the family and the conclusion is the family. (26-102,
1969.10.18)
What kind of ideology is the cosmos-centered ideology? It is the
true parent-centered ideology. After all, these are both ideologies
upholding parents. This is the ideology of our house, the ideology
of our nation, and the ideology of your individual self. Had
human beings not fallen, whose ideology would rule the world? It
would be the Adam-centered ideology. This ideology is none
other than the way of true parents. It is the ideology of the mother
and father. There cannot be an ideology higher than this. Hence
the Unification Church should link matters of the heart with
heavenly ideology through the way of true parents within the
boundary of the original ideal family. As long as families that have
internalized such an ideology remain, the Unification Church will
not perish. (26-201, 1969.10.25)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1567

We have entered an era when we can come together in harmony through love with no need for indemnification because, after the restoration of the right of the eldest son, it is embraced in the bosom of the parents. War and struggle to restore the right of the eldest son are no longer necessary in the realm of parental love. In order to initiate this, the Ceremony of the Settlement of the Eight Stages must be performed. Through this ceremony, the children in the positions of the first and second sons can be forgiven by those in the position of the parents, and we can enter the next era of forgiveness of parents. (193-173, 1989.10.3)
Richard: Notice that this is not the age for war. We should not fund a war in Ukraine. Think of the tens of thousands of young people on both sides who have been killed. Why is there no effort to end this conflict, no negotiations? All the money being poured out there should be used to build a godly movement for peace. See here and use ‘Ctrl F’ to search for “ploughshares”

Cheon Seong Gyeong 742

   If you keep pace with the Unification Church by way of the principled standard, good spirits and ancestors in the spirit world who used to cooperate with the national fortune will work for you. Externally, you may appear unlucky with a flat face and small ears, but the spirit world sees you as a lucky child. Your ancestors within ten generations are anxious because the history of restoration is realized based on ten generations. Yet when an evil descendant appears, ancestors within ten generations judge him by saying, “Hey you! You are going to ruin us!”
    For this reason, those who have good ancestors will be actively supported by them. You all are standing in such a position. The spirit world will be eternally happy if you, who are in such a position, fight with excitement and style and win every battle wherever you go. Various evil spirits will fall back with surprise even before they show up. So these ancestors will attend you like a king.
    We must prepare a victorious foundation before God’s will with the heart that refuses to defile God’s tradition and dignity. You must pray about what kind of tradition you will establish. Now is a blessed time. (14-19, 1964.4.19)

Chapter Two

The Family Is the Model for the
Kingdom of Heaven

Section 8. The Family Is the Final Standard for
Completing the Cosmos-centered Ideology

Everything divides from one into many, which eventually merge
into a larger whole. In other words, one divides into many and
then unites again into one. From here it divides again and
becomes something even larger. Families exist within this larger
created object. These families all have the same form as each
other. The family is the place where the relationship of husband
and wife is established and the place that unites the husband and
wife. The tribe is a place that unites families, and the race is a place
that unites clans. Races combine to form one nation. Here families
play the central role. (26-189, 1969.10.25)
When the family is expanded, it becomes the horizontal world.
This is why no society can manage without the family. If families
cannot be restored, the world cannot be restored. Next we must
realize the cosmos-centered ideal through these families. The
word cosmos combines heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are
like a person’s mind and body. The mind and body must become
one. Just as a subject partner needs an object partner, one man
needs one woman. The union of a man and a woman leads to a
family. God’s foundation of love will not be attained without
working through this family. (26-189, 1969.10.25)
The cosmos-centered ideology is a philosophy that unites the
mind and body forming a family as the main body of love, and
connects that idea to the spirit world and physical world. The
character ju of cheon ju (cosmos) means a house. This is why we
are using the word cosmos-centered ideology. Cosmos combines
the spirit world and the physical world. What relationship does it
have with us? We need a family. If you fail to be at one in your
family, you have nothing to do with the cosmos-centered
ideology. The family serves as the final standard for completing
the cosmos-centered ideology. Those who cannot sing songs of
peace and sing praise for happiness here will become miserable
people either on this earth or in the spirit world. (26-189,
1969.10.25)
