The Closest Siblings Are Not Natural Siblings

When you trace the vertical line all the way up, who is the last grandparent? God.

    The Chinese population is about 1.2 billion. There are 240 million people in the United States, and 270 million in the Soviet Union. There are many developed and prosperous nations leading the world. Yet compared to them, how wretched has Korea been until now. Korea was a weak and miserable nation, even beyond being wretched. However, during its five-thousand-year history, Korea owned large parts of the vast lands of present-day China.
    The Korean people do not like strife. They are a peace-loving people. Isn’t there a historical record of the Balhae race? So far, hasn’t this been an issue in academic circles? They were called the Dongi people and were said to have Chapter 5 • All Civilizations Will Come to Fruition on the Peninsula 1979 flowed into the Korean peninsula. They were people who, weary of the life on the barren plains of mainland China, where numerous tribes were in confrontation with one another, sought refuge on the Korean peninsula by crossing the Tumen River and Yalu River. (172-279, 1988.1.24)

If you can claim, “I love the fruits of the love of two billion people on earth more than I love the mother and father who gave birth to me. I love those four billion people more than I love my parents”, then you are able to love humankind in a unified position within the realm of God’s love. Thus, you stand in a position that has no relation to the satanic world. (140-56, 1986.2.1).

1.4. The lives and relationships of people in spirit world

    Who are the closest siblings in the spirit world? The closest siblings are not natural siblings. In this world, is the relationship between a parent and child or that between siblings closer? Since the relationship between a parent and child is closer, you will be closest to your father, then to your grandfather, and then great-grandfather and so on.

Grandmothers and Grandfathers are Pitiful in the West

Have we perceived that, in reproduction, there has been a process of development in the relational world of plus and minus, and that the concept of male and female was there before evolution was theoretically possible? Since, in terms of love, the distinction between species is strict, a third party cannot intervene. According to evolutionary theory, one must cross over the several thousand stages from the amoeba to the monkey; however, there is no way this can be done. Given that only after passing through thousands of gates of love can that seed of development be connected, is it possible for an amoeba to give rise to a monkey? That is absolutely impossible. (245-62, 1993.2.28)

In the present era, we are heading towards the completion stage, having passed through the formation and growth stages. This is the era in which history has to move horizontally after developing vertically. In other words, it is the era in which the boundary of the six-thousand-year long history of indemnification is crossed. That is why you need to escape from the dominion of Satan. Then what is the Blessing? It is the gate you have to pass through to leave the realm Satan has dominated throughout history. (18-209, 1967.6.8)

Section 7. The Heavenly Way People Should Go in the Family

    People should love their neighbors’ parents, grandparents and children just as they love their own. Only then will the relationships of above and below, left and right, and front and back arise. Only when they arise will the vertical standard of heart be established and the heavenly way emerge. Continue reading “Grandmothers and Grandfathers are Pitiful in the West”

All Goes Well if there is True Harmony in the Family

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1747

By giving birth to sons and daughters and taking on the position of parents, a couple can experience how joyful God felt when He was creating human beings. Through the experience of having sons and daughters we are initiated into the world where we can inherit all God’s powers, the Great Subject of heaven and earth. The responsibility of the mother and father entails producing sons and daughters, raising them well and marrying them off. God was to raise Adam and Eve and marry them, but He could not do so. Adam and Eve also failed to give birth to sons and daughters and have them married. This deplorable failure must be resolved. These become the principles of education. (223-196, 1991.11.10)

Richard: Parents have a crucial role to play in helping their chilldren find their eternal match. UnionStation.love can help.

Since Heung-jin left behind the condition of having loved the whole world on behalf of the True Parents by offering his life, you are also linked to that destiny of loving the world with your life. Heungjin went instead of the True Parents. For that reason, loving Heung-jin becomes a condition for loving the True Parents. Your love for Heung-jin is linked to your love for the True Parents.
In the spirit world, there has been no center until now. There was no center to be able to connect to the spirit world; but because of Heung-jin, all spirits who love him can be connected to the condition of loving the Father. They can connect to the Unification Church. For the Unification Church, Heung-jin set the standard on earth by fighting at the cost of his life. For the spirit world, he is its first representative in history to be connected with love. On earth, he has set an example to Unification Church members of loving God’s will even at the sacrifice of his life. What he is telling you to do is to love the True Parents. You must go on loving True Parents for the sake of the world. By Heung-jin going to the spirit world, the spirit world came to love him, and by doing so, the relationship of love with the True Parents on earth was established.

Richard: Heung-jin is the second son of Rev. and Mrs. Moon. He died in an automobile accident at age 17.

Section 6. The Relationship Between Grandparents and Grandchildren

    f a young grandchild comes home and asks in a bossy voice, “Hey, where did Grandpa and Grandma go?” how would you feel? Is it proper for him to demand, as soon as arrives, and in front of his mother and father and his brothers and sisters, to know, “Where are Grandpa and Grandma?” This is improper because he is speaking in an impolite manner. Here the grandparents are now over eighty years old, and this little brat audaciously stands firm in front of his father and mother and elder brothers and elder sisters, who are superior to him, demanding to know, “Where have Grandpa and Grandma gone?” Would any of them be shocked and scold him saying, “Where are your manners?” Continue reading “All Goes Well if there is True Harmony in the Family”

The Grandfather Stands in the Position of God

The last chance for the UN has now come. If the UN rejects my proposal, I will turn away from the UN and create an Abel-type UN. I have created the Federation of Island Nations, the Federation of Peninsular Nations, and even the Federation of Continental Nations. People are saying, “Don’t trust the UN. Let’s create an Abel-type UN!” Which side do you think the world will follow? The purpose of this is to educate the youth and families. (299-273, 1999.2.18)

Richard: Urban Life Training has as its mission raising youth leaders who model and teach about the benefits of sexual abstinence before marriage.
Learn more about the World Peace King Bridge and Tunnel project, part of the Peace King International Highway that will link Russia and the United States via a bridge and tunnel crossing the Bering Strait. This is a project of the Universal Peace Federation, the Abel-type UN referenced in the reading above. Here is the founding speech for the Universal Peace Federation, also available in audio format.
Building the Bering Strait Bridge and Tunnel will be a very specific way to promote peace between Russia and the United States, now more relevant than ever, with the Russia-Ukraine war raging.

What should you do to prosper? You must be selfless. The Unification Church practices absolute selflessness – living for the sake of others. This is the dividing line. One side will fall to hell; the other side will go to heaven. That is how it is in the spirit world. You will know immediately. You will know the place where people who lived for others will go. For that reason, you should live for others, accept the way of thinking of the saints, the teachings of the Savior, and God’s way of thinking. What is God’s way of thinking? It is to live absolutely for the sake of others. (299-217, 1999.2.16)

Section 5. The Grandfather is in the Position of God in the Family

Today, the American system is a paradise for the young but not a paradise for the elderly. Because the American system is a paradise for young men and women – yet neither a paradise for children nor a paradise for grandfathers and grandmothers – everyone there is digging pits of hell that will lead them to ruin. This is happening because the American system does not fit the original form. (107-328, 1980.6.8) Continue reading “The Grandfather Stands in the Position of God”

Father Carried Jeong Hwa Park on His Back

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2452

    Because of the Fall of Adam and Eve, God was unable to stand in the position of three generations. Only two generations were established when the Fall occurred. What, then, is the most miserable thing about American families these days? The worst thing is that grandparents virtually cannot meet their own grandchildren. All grandparents start out as babies and finally reach the stage of grandparenthood, so they naturally should return to a babylike state. Who are their “baby friends”? This is their grandchildren.
    Once we grow old, we start to become senile, don’t we? Once we get senile, we become like babies. Once we become senile, we even lose the ability to speak. Isn’t that true? That is why grandparents and grandchildren should come together. Once I have become a grandfather, I find my grandchildren even more lovable than my own children. And the people I long for the most are not my children, but my grandchildren. That’s how it is. From this point of view, old people in America are really to be pitied. (266-147, 1994.12.22)

Do you think that Satan, who has given God such a hard time for six thousand years, is just going to quietly say, “Oh boy, I have had it. I think I will just give up,” then lower his eyes and crawl away? Don’t you yourselves value even a wash cloth too much to just throw it away? Before you throw it out, you will probably turn it over, inspect it, and even smell it. What I am saying is that Satan will not just give up and go away like that. That is why he keeps on putting up such a stubborn fight. So, we have to fit with and match up with the center. Even Rev. Moon of the Unification Church will be broken the day he deviates from the center. If the direction is not right, then you cannot make any progress.

God’s Providence of Restoration

    True Father walked to Pyeongyang in North Korea after leaving prison.  He did not stop at his hometown.  He searched for his disciples and was able to find one, Jeong Hwa Park.  He carried him on a bicycle, and later on his back, across the 38th parallel to South Korea. 
    Father traveled to Pusan and wrote the first Principle book at a mud-walled hut that he constructed.  It was completed on May 11, 1952.  The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity was founded on May 1, 1954 in Seoul, Korea.
    Father chose Hak Ja Han and wedded her in holy marriage on April 11, 1960 (March 16 by the lunar calendar).  Mother has the mission to become one with True Father, love the True Children, love Cain, love the families if the great saints (love the wives who are part of the families of the six great saints) and to release the historical anguish of all women that resulted from Eve’s mistake.  She had to be recreated as the True Mother inside of the The True Father.
