God Becomes the Internal Father, and Adam and Eve Become the External Parents

When these unite as the inner and the outer, the realm of direct dominion is established for the first time.

    Without love, oneness cannot be achieved. When uniting two into one, words alone will not work. What should there be in order for two to become united? If they became one through material things, they would separate once the material things were gone. If they became one through the introduction of a third party for a specific reason, they would separate once that person disappears. In order for two to be one eternally, there has to be love. It will not work without love. (51-75, 1971.11.1)

    Mother had to be less than 20 years of age. Why was that? It was because Adam and Eve fell when they were teenagers; they were younger than 20 years old. Since they fell at that age, Mother had to be of a similar age. How difficult that was! Moving the Unification Church was a difficult task in itself. On top of that, when I had to choose Mother, there were a number of young ladies in the Unification Church who were university graduates and some even held doctorates. With their eyes burning they were making all kinds of maneuvers to become my mate. While keeping an eye on this situation, I actually had to look for an innocent, unworldly teenage girl. That was not a fate to be enjoyed, but I had no choice. Because of the principle of restoration through indemnity, I could not do as I pleased. (145-161, 1986.5.1)

Section 1. The Realms of Indirect and Direct Dominion

1.1. The realm of indirect dominion

Summary:
If Adam and Eve had not fallen, they would have completed their portion of responsibility in the indirect dominion and married to establish the direct dominion, creating a perfect focal point where God, humanity, and the spiritual and physical worlds harmonized in true love. Because of the Fall, a perfect photograph of love has never been taken, nobody has entered the true Kingdom of Heaven, and Satan has blocked the path to God’s love. To correct this, a marriage between a perfected Adam and his bride is absolutely necessary, as an individual cannot enter the direct dominion alone. True Parents have spent their lives establishing a global standard of indemnity to help fallen human beings overcome these spiritual barriers and fulfill their responsibilities. Ultimately, by creating families centered on true love that unite all directions, members can connect the heavenly and earthly worlds, securely leap into God’s direct dominion, and finally expand the true Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

Do Not Taste Love During the Indirect Dominion

It means that until you reach maturity you should never have a love relationship.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1999

    Once we establish God’s nation, we will be able to see the traditions we should hand down to our descendants for thousands of generations to come. We will see the efforts we have made, shedding blood and sweat, as well as God’s monument that celebrates His victory and all traces of glory on the earth eternally. Without a nation, all our work will be in vain. The crucifix, culture and institutions of today’s Christianity, which have all been handed down from the earliest days, should be thrown in the river or burnt to ashes if they cannot create a nation desired by God. Christians should understand they are being mocked and ridiculed by Satan. Therefore, you should realize that the real issue at hand is building the nation of God. (55-339, 1972.5.9)   

    The holy wine ceremony is carried out in the reverse order of the Fall of Adam and Eve. Before you can get married, you need to be engaged. Then there is the holy wine ceremony. Only then can you attend the holy wedding ceremony. You could not become the original Adam and Eve because of the Fall. Through the engagement ceremony, you present yourselves before God and True Parents, who are trying to reclaim their children, saying, “We will become a better Adam and Eve, who are better than your fallen children.” Adam and Eve were still in the state of engagement. Through the engagement, a new world is created. You must therefore understand that the holy wine ceremony establishes the conditions that restore all these relationships. (120-167, 1982.10.13)

Receiving the holy wine is pat of the Blessing.

1.1. The realm of indirect dominion

Summary:
According to the Principle of the Unification Church, God created the realm of indirect dominion as a necessary boundary line for human beings to safely grow and mature from adolescence into adulthood through the stages of formation, growth, and completion. Within this realm of indirect dominion, God cannot interfere in immature love, meaning that individuals must fulfill their own portion of responsibility by remaining pure and avoiding any romantic or sexual relationships until they reach absolute spiritual maturity. Because Adam and Eve failed to follow God’s warning to wait, humanity fell into a state that is disconnected from God’s love, which has prolonged the process of restoration. Ultimately, the purpose of the Principle is to clearly define this border between immature growth and adulthood so that human beings can successfully fulfill their responsibilities, overcome the Fall, and finally enter the realm of direct dominion where they can connect fully with God’s absolute love.
