In the Future, Only Religious Thinking can Lead this World

An eternal life is not just a lifetime, but a life that continues eternally.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1770

What is the most precious part of the body for people? What is the most precious thing for men and women? Woman became woman centered on and by virtue of one thing. Which place is that one place? It is the sexual organ, the organ of love, the organ that implants life. What a good name that is! Isn’t it the sexual organ? It sounds more real than calling it the love organ. It is self-explanatory. The tool that implants life is the sexual organ. Don’t be ashamed of the sexual organ. What is the sexual organ in Korean? What do you call it in Korean? Those who are embarrassed to say it are living with shame. If you are embarrassed to say it in Korean itself, you don’t qualify as Koreans. Shouldn’t you be proud of it! (260-73, 1994.4.11)

When God’s beloved woman lives in a man’s heart and God’s beloved man lives in a woman’s heart as well, these two become his object partners, and when they love each other, God will be delighted to see this love and all things will rejoice. Heaven and earth will rejoice to see a man and woman with these values embrace. When man and woman embrace each other in mutual fondness, this mutual fondness becomes the point where the universe unifies. This is how the original image unfolds in God’s ideal.

2.6.1. The importance of eternal life

    Everyone wants to live his life in his own way. “Living” comes down to every- day life. “Lifetime” means your entire life. Furthermore, religious people use the words “eternal life.” An eternal life is not just a lifetime, but a life that continues eternally. How you connect your life course to the eternal reality is important for your eternal life. This becomes your lifelong responsibility.

Whoever Is Willing to Die for God’s Will Shall Live

You should die in the highest position centered on the nation of God’s heart, which penetrates heaven and earth.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2042

You must sow the seeds of life. With your utmost sincerity you should dig up the earth and level it, and then scatter the seeds of life. In ten or twenty years, that will become your branch, and suddenly you will notice that a nest has been built. As this grows bigger and bears fruit, enabling you to go to the heavenly nation, you will be able to go to the high- est place in that nation, the place near- est to God! Amen. This is why we must breakthrough at the local level. (210-98, 1990.12.1)

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. (143-277, 1986.3.20

2.5. Our attitude in the face of death

   In general, people throughout history, when focusing on the eternal nature of life, have tended to think not only in terms of ten or a hundred years, but of thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of billions of years. Yet when a person dies, it’s the same as when an animal dies; what use are the remains? Nowadays, even people who do not believe in God say, “Ah, I have to leave behind an honorable legacy,” but what use is it to leave that behind?

When People Die, Who Do They First Call On?

Can you as a parent tell your children to do something that you yourself never practiced?

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1725

    Where is the origin of love of the universe? It is God. The question here is how to put in logical order the idea of where God’s love will settle. For God to become the harmonious being whose dual characteristics are separately represented in the form of Adam and Eve, created by Him, what should the harmonious being center upon? He should center on love and be in the masculine position of the Subject in relation to all. Centered on what? Centered on love. You must know this.
    Then what would God be like? Adam and Eve are the subjects with dual characteristics, and so their bodies are external and their minds are internal.
Therefore, God desires to reside in their minds.
    If that is the case, when Adam’s and Eve’s bodies as well as their minds unite, would or would not that which is at the bottom of their bodies unite too? What would that be? Would God unite with them or not? Where would He unite with them? Since He created the organs for love, where would He come to unite with human beings? Where would that place be? It would be the place of love. (194-64, 1989.10.15)

Why do we respect parents’ love? It is because they sacrifice without expecting anything. They do not want any return from it. They are satisfied with loving, and happy just with that. They are hap- py just with giving. Receiving every- thing does not always make you happy. One who gives has more blessing than one who receives. Why is he blessed? It is because he can represent God’s side. (46-35, 1971.7.18)

2.5. Our attitude in the face of death

    When people die, who do they first call upon? They call out to God. The ultimate reality is that people will seek God when they find themselves in the most difficult position. The way to forgiveness can be opened for those who sincerely call upon God at the time of death. Why is that so? It is because such is the way of death. If you can die keeping close to this principle, then the path to resurrection will be opened.
    That is why when death comes to people, they all seek God saying, “O my God!” This is the truest of all lessons. When a person dies, he usually dies at least saying the right thing. When we observe this, we can see that the person was properly educated, though we may not know who taught him. Nothing truer than this can be said.

Raise the Flag of Heaven Amidst the Trumpet Call for Liberation

Our departure to the spirit world is not a sad occasion. Raise the flag of heaven amidst the trumpet call for liberation.

    People of filial piety will think of their parents first when something good happens in their lives. In the fallen world people think of their spouse first when they see something good. However, unless you buy something precious for your parents first, you cannot buy something for your spouse.
    In the same way, a man should first buy clothes for his parents, and then for his wife and children, before buying clothes for himself. He should attend and serve his parents when they eat. Even in the satanic world, it was the custom in Korea for people to attend their parents for a three-year period of mourning after their death. In the old days, was it not Korean etiquette for a devoted son to be in mourning for his deceased parents by building a mud hut next to their grave and living there for three years in order to fulfill his filial duty? Therefore, in Korea, if people did not attend their parents with devotion for at least three years, then when they went to the spirit world, they would not be able to say that they are descendants of Korea.
    We must surpass this standard. Our Blessed Families must enlarge themselves with good points from each other, and live their lives serving and caring for their parents. (26-299, 1969.11.10)

    The holy wine contains elements of all the things of creation, which cannot be accused by Satan. After drinking the holy wine and becoming one with True Parents, if you commit any acts that defile your body, you will be worse off than Satan himself. Satan defiled and violated the completion stage of the growing period, but if someone who has received the Blessing commits a sin, he defiles the substantial body of God in the perfection level of the completion stage and so cannot ever be forgiven. This is a truly a terrifying thought. (God’s Will – 543) Continue reading “Raise the Flag of Heaven Amidst the Trumpet Call for Liberation”

Death Is Not a Sorrowful Occasion

If human beings had not fallen, someone’s passing would have been a happy occasion.

    Every person, regardless of who he may be, needs to live in his own nation. This is the absolute condition that all human beings must fulfill. Everyone without exception needs to lead a purposeful life, full of hopes for such a nation and such a righteous goal. In their hearts they need to envision utopia and strive to live for their nation and ultimate goal by establishing laws of righteousness and complying with them.
    Do you have a nation of God? Since you don’t have one, you need to establish one, don’t you? What would that nation be like? It would be an ideal nation, a unified nation. It would be a nation where anyone and everyone can enter. No one is excluded from the responsibility of building such a nation. Families, tribes, nations and the world have to cooperate in its establishment. That is how individuals, families, tribes, people, nations and the whole world can become united. (18-213, 1967.6.8)

    First of all, you should go through adolescence in the right way. If you want to live, the adolescence containing the character for thinking (思春期) is for you. If you want to die, the adolescence containing the character for death (死春期) is for you. If you earnestly seek to overcome adolescence containing the character for death, then, turn it upside down. If you turn it over 180 degrees, the adolescence containing the character for death (死) transforms into the adolescence containing the character for thinking (思). Therefore, by overcoming the adolescence of death, Jesus moved toward the young adulthood of the bride and bridegroom, which was like a spring day of hope and of new life. That is what the Christian history of the bride and bridegroom is all about. (57-159, 1972.5.31)

2.4. Death is an ascension (seunghwa) to a higher dimension

    If human beings had not fallen, someone’s passing would have been a happy occasion. That is why I have taught the Unification Church not to greet death in sorrow. Hence, we speak of death as seunghwa (ascension). (199-353, 1990.2.21) Continue reading “Death Is Not a Sorrowful Occasion”
