Connect to a World of Happiness through Nature

A Buddhist monk or nun who does not know conjugal love is sadly disqualified from the kingdom.

What do we call funerals in the Unification Church? What is a Seunghwa Ceremony? It means to be transformed and go up to a higher stage. I did not cry when grandmother Hong passed away. I did not cry because I was busy paving the way for her to ascend. Where else can you find a greater filial son than this? (196-55, 1989.12.24)

Live forever together. Even though the house which is built may only be a small cottage, the song expresses the desire to live forever together with True Parents! It coincides perfectly with the ideal of the children’s songs of Korea. Then what would they do next? A half-moon! It is all right even if the moon is not a full moon. Although the family does not begin with perfection, this world is like a half-moon, and we are heading towards a nation of clouds in the sky, on a satellite like the boat mentioned in the song. Though we have neither mast nor paddle, we are moving swiftly to both the East and West. The sun rises in the East and shines westward. Man symbolizes East and woman West, and all women will receive the light of the sun from the east and be on an equal status with men. Then a world of equality and agreement between East and West will be realized! Amen! How wonderful that people will be! (286-114, 1997.8.9)

Father Moon is referring to a traditional Korean folk song.

But however many women there are, even if there are 2.5 billion women, and if there is not one single man, what would happen? Could they feel, “Oh, my love!”? If we look at the melodies of songs these days, all of them are about ”my loves” or about loving someone, all of them are like that, but can the 2.5 billion women of humanity say, “Oh, my love,” about one man? That’s a lie, a lie.

The word love, even if you open your eyes, what do you open them to see? You don’t need your eyes. You don’t need to smell, and you don’t need your mouth. If God is mumbling all alone, how could the flavor of whispering come about? He thinks in his mind and says everything, but he can’t feel it. The issue is that a companion is needed which can give rise to excitement and stimulation and relative JOY. If there is wind, the high and the lows of the water come about. Through that there is stimul~1 ion there. Everything is made like that. Everything that is stimulating, the creation of heaven and earth for the sake of feeling joy, is possible for the first time through the object partner being in front of the subject partner.

Even if God is the mighty Lord of heaven and earth, since He doesn’t have an object partner, He is frustrated. With what shall he look? Would God have eyes or not? No? Would God have had eyes before the creation of the world or not? [He would have.] Did you see that? [laughter] A person who says he didn’t have eyes, isn’t he crazy? He had eyes; he had ears; he had a nose; he had hands, and he had all of the five organs of sense. But however great he was, and even though he was the God who created heaven and earth, if he just laughs “Ha, ha, ha,” all alone, he is crazy. If without a companion I said, “Oh my beloved,” and laughed, “Ho, ho,” and danced around, I’d be crazy. It’s the same for God. Do you understand?
