By cutting off the wild olive tree at the base and engrafting the true olive tree on to it, all wild olive trees will disappear. The field where they used to be will become a field of true olive trees. Now that I am ready to carry out this task, many are raising uproar. They are scared of the pain they will feel when their bodies are cut off at the roots. They are worried that I may be an incompetent gardener. The spring of providential history has come and with it the task of engrafting the sprouts on to the wild olive trees has begun. (Blessed Family – 510)

What is the occasion of the Blessing? It is the very best place in the entire world. With whom should you establish a relationship at the place of Blessing? You cannot perfect yourself on your own. You are perfected through True Parents’ love. When a child is born from its parents’ bosom, regardless of whether it is good-looking or not, the child takes after its parents. In the same way, in the Unification Church, members are taught the way of the true parent. For you, that is the greatest blessing of all blessings. (35-236, 1970.10.19)

Section 7. Love Is Realized in a Completely
Natural Setting

This is a story from my youth. One day, I caught a pair of birds
and tried to make them kiss each other’s beaks. To see them kiss I
put them in a cage, fed them, and watched them. I did it out of a
child’s desire to see them love each other and sing happily
together. This was an experiment, out of curiosity, to understand
the principles of nature. I continued this experiment, which I now
understand to have been quite naughty. It was only after a long
while that I finally understood that love is realized only in a
natural setting. Sincere love is realized naturally, in an atmosphere
that is natural to the highest degree. Through a long journey of
experiments I came to the correct understanding of love. (Blessed
Family – 353)

When someone loses love, will having a university education help
him to regain love? He will only accumulate knowledge, become
individualistic, and come to worship materialism. Just as Korean
bean soup tastes right only when it is served in a thick Korean
bowl, character training can reach its purpose only when it is
based on love.

The flower of world civilization should blossom on the basis of
artistic harmony. In this sense, roasted ribs should be served on a
heavy platter and Korean bean paste soup should be served in a
thick, Korean earthenware bowl to bring out their proper tastes.
Once you have become used to the rough, deep, and refreshing
taste of Korean bean paste soup, you will never forget it no matter
where you may go.

Likewise, once people have become used to the earthy, deep,
relaxing taste of love, they will not change. Just as one easily tires
of instant foods that are usually heavily sweetened, if one could
obtain love easily and anywhere like instant food, we would be
unable to call it true love. (Blessed Family – 353)

There are people everywhere today who taste love as if they were
eating instant food. This is the problem. Love does not deepen
because you bathe in a fragrant bath. I would say that the love of a
couple living in the countryside that washes themselves in cold water
before going to bed is purer, longer lasting, and ever deepening. A
couple that has to brush their teeth before kissing is not experiencing
natural love. The toothpaste smell will prevent them from tasting the
unique smell of the other. When I look at people who brush their
teeth before kissing, I don’t know whether they are trying to taste love
or taste toothpaste. (Blessed Family – 353)

When you meet with someone you like and love, you want to
embrace and kiss that person. This is a natural instinct between
the sexes. You can think you are meeting your partner in order to
love your surroundings — the universe. Finding a partner and
establishing a relationship is a natural human behavior.

When man relates to woman and woman relates to man under the
ideal of partnership, there will be no acts or incidents that violate
the order of love. The true order of love emerges only when man
and woman meet on the basis of the ideal of partnership. (Blessed
Family – 353)

    Members of the Unification Church will be able to register their names in the not too distant future. The day when North and South Korea are united as one nation, in which God can take delight, will be the day on which you can be registered. When such a day dawns, even if you are blind or have an impaired voice or a deformed arm, if you were blessed first, you would be considered the elder. You would be the elder sister-in-law. If you were blessed later, you would have to serve a person with an impaired voice and deformed arm as your elder, even if you are older and a college graduate.
    Such a day is coming. Therefore, when that time comes, all these special conditions of attendance will become important factors that will decide between success and failure. (58-113, 1972.6.6)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1189

As God carried out the dispensation for restoration, His grief lay in the fact that the firstborn son was on Satan’s side. That is why human history is diseased. What kind of disease does it suffer from? It has a love related disease. The first son was born after humankind went astray due to the disease of love. If we are not aware of this fact, we won’t reach the time when we are able to ascend to the individual position where we can again achieve harmony, even if we spend billions of years in search of the principled standard.

Section 6. Original Human Beings Are Enraptured
with True Love

What is the holiest thing in the world? True love is the holiest
thing in world. True love originates with God. If God exists, there
is no other way than the way of true love. God truly desires the
way of true love, and without traversing the way of true love, we
cannot go before God. We have to know this point.
God wants to see, hear, eat, and touch through love. As for human
beings, if they receive a kiss of love from God, their joy will make
them feel as if they are going to explode from inside. This is where
God’s desire lies. God does not rejoice because He has diamonds
or jewelry. (Blessed Family – 380)

The human body has five senses and every human being feels and
confirms true love through the sensations of the five senses. If the
eyes are directed toward true love, they will be colored by and
intoxicated with true love. How beautifully those colorful,
intoxicated eyes will shine! Think about how enchanting the
smiling lips of a person immersed in true love are. Try to imagine
the intense beauty of the five senses moving in intoxication with
true love and the harmony of the five senses moving toward God.

Alone, God cannot experience the joy of such beauty. He can
experience such beauty only when He has a partner, and this is the
reason God created human beings. How would God feel as He
observed a beautiful man and woman absorbed into one another
through true love-intoxicated eyes, or kissing with true love-
intoxicated lips, and playing the melody of a heart of true love? If
there is an Eve of true love, God would want to completely traverse
her world of heart. God would have an impulsive desire to explore
the breadth and depth of this beautiful Eve’s world of heart.
God would want to traverse both Adam’s and Eve’s world of heart,
a world more beautiful than the created heaven and earth. It is
certain that God would rather travel within the world of the heart
of a person of true love than the universe. God would never want
to leave Adam’s and Eve’s world of heart and true love. If, after
God created human beings, He fell into their true love and became
a child lost in that love, what kind of world would we have? Since
God would dwell in their midst, the world formed by God and
human beings becoming one would be a world filled with joy and
beauty. (Blessed Family – 380)

If the true love of God had been perfected, the God of
responsiveness would have no regrets at being totally absorbed by
true love. God’s nature is such that He would be totally happy
with anything that happened within the realm of true love. If
human beings were to live in this world of true love, they would
live a happy life free from regret. Moreover, this world would be
without war and free of complaint and misfortune. (Blessed
Family – 380)

    The individual perfection we speak of today is not the absolute and complete perfection of the individual. It is conditional. You must understand that this perfection is a conditional perfection in the process of restoration. That is why, though they stand in the position of parents, they do not truly know about God’s realm of heart. They have not experienced the great power of loving each other so much that the husband cannot give up his wife and the wife cannot give up her husband even in exchange for the universe. The love they share is so strong that it can hold heaven and earth together.
    That is why those families who have received the Blessing must bear in mind that until they cross over from this fallen realm, they are only in the realm of conditional perfection. They are not in the realm of the perfected Kingdom of Heaven. Since they are only living in that conditional realm of perfection, once they pass on to the spirit world, they need to go through certain formalities. Only after they go through due formalities and reach complete perfection can they receive their passports and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (100-144, 1978.10.9)

Now, through the Sa-Sa Jeol (4.4. Day) declaration, which represents the number four, the southern hemisphere can be connected to the northern hemisphere and the heart of the Parents to the oceans. Although the great judgment of Noah’s time took place on the sea, based on the sea that did not face judgment and the principle of giving and receiving by all created beings, then all national messiahs and Blessed Families were called to gather here in Jardim in order to symbolize the coming together of all creation to the place of liberation. I have disclosed to all those who are here that, in the form of the global messiah, national messiahs, tribal and family messiahs, they should return following the Parents.
Richard:  Victory is ours, as Blessed families, if we claim it.  First we have to understand what a Blessed family is, and we have to practice true love and absolute sexual ethics within our Blessed family and exemplify those values to our family and neighbors.
Join us on November 19th for the Unification Principle Study, which is a great place to begin your journey as a Blessed family.  Peaceful families build a peaceful world.

True Family; Gateway to Heaven
Chapter Four

The Love of Man and Woman
in the Original Creation

Section 5. Men and Women Harmonize in Love

Man symbolizes heaven and woman, earth. The two must unite and
realize harmony. Men and women are different. Men’s muscles are
rugged and women’s are smooth. Men have beards while women do
not. Their voices are also different. If we compare men and women,
we see their contrasting features fit together well. Harmony unfolds
between them. When we look at the physical structure of human
beings, their left and right sides form a correlative pair. These two
halves are bound tightly together.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you like only high things or only low
things? You like things that create harmony. Judging from the line
formed by the horizon, fish live below and mammals, birds, and
other creatures live above. Women menstruate once a month, like
tidal variations based on the moon. Breathing is similar. A man
and a woman establish a line of balance and create harmony.
People like Disneyland, with its rides that go up and down,
because Disneyland duplicates the motions of the universe.

Which do you think will be more pleasing, a man harmonizing
with another man or a man harmonizing with a woman? A man
harmonizing with a woman is better because that reflects the
harmony of the universe. We should live in step with the beat of
the universe, the universe that promotes harmony through the
harmony of yin and yang. (Blessed Family – 344)

When man and woman create harmony, they initiate circular
movement. When man and woman become one body through
love and bear the fruits of love, God comes down and they go up
and they meet in the middle. God becomes the center of this
sphere, and spherical movement begins. The center of the sphere
is the place where harmony of love is realized. It is the place where
life emerges and moves, and it is the starting point of human
equality and communal philosophy. This is so because the power
of love is there. Thus, the force that embraces all interactions of
the universe is love. (Blessed Family – 344)

For human beings love is eternal. It is one and never divided. Once
a man and a woman are joined in love they are to live together for a
lifetime and then eternally even after death. They are two bodies
that become one body by uniting and revolving together. When the
two bodies become one, they revolve as God does and form a four-
position foundation of love, the expression of the ideal world of
love. Only true love dwells there and false love cannot invade. When
man and woman become blessed by God and achieve perfection,
God comes to them freely. When they form a four-position
foundation of love, they will come to love each other’s mind
through each other’s body, and when they come to love the mind
their body will follow. (Blessed Family – 344)

For what purpose does God designate Abel? He does it to establish the rights of the firstborn son and to correct the tradition within the family, not in order to save Abel’s children. Unification Church members don’t understand this point. You say, “Ahem! I am Abel,” but you leaders must remember that you cannot say, “Because we are in the position of Abel, that’s it!” The reason all of you are placed in your positions is to restore a tribe that holds the right of the eldest son. If you want to receive blessings, earn the right of the firstborn son and share the blessings, then you can receive some of them. The right of the firstborn son is not for you. Focused on the Lord who is to come, you must develop a connection with the vertical heavenly world. This will not happen with only the horizontal physical world. I was going to explain this last point in more detail in terms of the Principle but, as I believe you understand this, I am putting it in simple terms. Since I, the founder of the Unification Church, came to know this path, I could not help but establish the logic of “living for the sake of others.” We were born for the sake of others. You must also realize that man was born for the sake of woman. There is no such thing as “I”. (136-130, 1985.12.22)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1429

There is no doubt that the Kingdom of God is a place that is governed according to the will of God, whose sovereignty is inherited by His children of direct descent, who follow the commands issued by Him as their center. In such a place, democracy or communism cannot exist. Once it is established, the kingdom would retain its system of governance eternally. Taking all this into consideration, how truly lamentable it is that you cannot be a citizen of such a nation. Therefore, you should lament the fact that you are not a resident of that nation. You should lament the fact that you are not qualified to be a part of it. We should all lament the fact that we do not have such an unchanging sovereignty anywhere. (72-292, 1974.9.1)

Chapter Four

The Love of Man and Woman

Section 4. Love Comes from One’s Partner

Love cannot be realized by oneself. Where does love come from?
Love does not come from me but from my spouse. Since love
comes from my spouse, I must bow my head and serve her. This is
where the heavenly principle of living for the sake of others
originates. When something highly noble comes to me, I must
honor and serve it in order to receive it. We must live the
philosophy of living for the sake of others. (143-277, 1986.3.30)
When we are alone, love cannot manifest itself. Love does not
appear when man is alone, but only when woman appears as his
object of love. Only when the object of love appears, does love
finally spring forth. (Blessed Family – 342)

If the world had listened to the words of True Father, a world of peace, the Kingdom of Heaven, would have been established on earth in 1952. Then, what I am teaching you about now, namely, the tribal messiahs, would have been dispatched across the world. Since there are 800 million Christians in the world, 800 million people would have stood on True Father’s side, and tribal messiahs would have emerged from towns of every description, with three generations from each family all being tribal messiahs. If this had taken place, the satanic world would have completely come to an end. Then a constitution, which would dictate how the world of the future should be governed would have been enacted and followed. That is why I have not yet taught you in detail the direction you have to take with your family. One thing you must remember is that the era of the great exodus is coming. The families who have followed the words of True Father, and have become tribal messiahs and blessed 160 families, are eligible for registration. Father will then decide the ancestors; who will be the first generation, the second, third, or fourth. Once the ancestors are established, kingship will exist. Therefore, we need to establish the family belonging to the kingship. (273-46, 1995.10.21)

    The spiritual and physical worlds must be equalized, even hell. The path should be pioneered all the way to the foundations of the kingdom of peace, in order to break down the gates of hell and open the gates of heaven. God will then be able to traverse freely anywhere in the earthly world and spirit world…. The threshold of grief that is hell is of no use to God. It should all be broken down. No one knows that.
    Then, what is it that I have done? Down as far as hell, I have broken down the gates of the individual and all the things that have blocked the physical and spirit worlds…. I must create a highway. I have to make equalization. This is not only for the earth. The spirit world must all be leveled. The family, tribe, people, nation, world and cosmos must be leveled. How is this possible? It is possible by a man and a woman forming a family…. (302-226, 1999.6.14)

Chapter Four

The Love of Man and Woman
in the Original Creation

Section 3. Men and Women Absolutely Need
Each Other

Love is something you absolutely need, isn’t it? Is that right?
Human beings, a man and a woman, are an absolutely necessary
element for love. Man needs woman and woman needs man. How
much do they need each other? They need each other more than
Korea, more than the world, and even more than God. Also, if
there were no women, the entire human race would perish within
a hundred years. No matter how much man boasts of unifying the
world, all would be gone within one hundred years if there were
no women. Therefore, women are absolutely necessary. (25-180,
1969.10.4)

When we say “human beings,” we mean man and woman. When
we look at a man, he has to be with a woman, and when we look at
a woman, she has to be with a man. Man is not born through his
own desire, nor is woman born through her own desire. Both
need each other. After their birth, they discover they are either a
man or a woman. (67-267, 1973.7.22)

When you were born as a man, were you born with or without the
knowledge that there are women? If a man were born and found
out that there are only men, would he not feel bad? And if a
woman were born and found out that there are only women, she
would feel bad, wouldn’t she? So when a woman is born, is she
born with or without the knowledge that there are men? Although
I was born without knowing it, the one who gave birth to me
knew it. The reason one is born as a woman is that there is a man
who needs her. Likewise, the reason I am born as a man like this is
that there is a woman who needs me. Isn’t that right? We are all
born like this, with God’s knowledge. (37-19, 1970.12.22)

Man absolutely needs woman. Man absolutely needs God, but
before this he needs a partner called woman. Human history has
been miserable because men have failed to correctly understand
the absolute need for women. Conversely, women have not
understood that they absolutely need men. Tasting true love
requires a realm of ideal, and for this man needs woman and
woman needs man. You should know that an absolute man and
absolute woman pursuing true love are joined through their
efforts of becoming one in heart. When such a man and woman
are joined as one, God comes and dwells with them. (Blessed
Family – 340)

God does not like to see a couple joined by true love separate;
therefore, the love of an absolute man and woman is eternal.
Although God is omniscient and omnipotent, God’s existence
absolutely has no meaning when He is alone. Similarly, no matter
how handsome and healthy a man may be, these things have no
meaning if he is without a woman. A man living in fascination with
his own good looks and health leads an ugly existence and has no
value before God. The problem is that there are many men in the
world who have sunk into such narcissism and this constitutes a
reason why history has moved toward tragedy. You have to know
that God’s providence works to change and improve the world
immersed in such self-centeredness. (Blessed Family -340)
