Everything and everyone can become a friend through true love. Even rocks can speak in a certain way; they will talk about how they came into existence at the time of creation, their mode of life, and much else. Of course God is aware of all this. No matter how majestic and unyielding mountains may seem, they will want to receive love from God. If He were to cast His eyes upon a mountain and ask, “How did you come to be so big?” would He reprimand the mountain if it replied, “I became so big to give joy to You”? Each and every being in the world is affected by love; all of them have become objects of love. (183-49, 1988.10.29)

What is my one and only hope? How will God treat me when I enter the spirit world? When I come into His presence, God will be sitting on His throne, but will jump down in an instant in spite of Himself. He will embrace me and kiss me for my labors and say, “May eternal blessings be upon you.” My wish is to see that day. I cannot die, even if I want to, without leaving those works behind on earth. You must understand that these are the circumstances of the True Parent. (264-63, 1994.10.9)

Section 3. For Human Beings, the Eternal
Element of Life is Love

You shouldn’t forget that while you lived as an embryo, you not
only received nutrition from your mother but you also received
love from her. Likewise, people living on earth are not only
receiving physical nutrition from the universe but also love from
God, who is the essential element of life. (Blessed Family -1062)

Just as all plants absorb sunlight as an element of life, love is an
element of life for people. Our hope is that the Kingdom of
Heaven on earth or the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven be built
where we can live eternally in love and in adoration. (Blessed
Family -1062)

Human beings are born through love and grow through their
childhood while receiving love. After a certain stage of growth,
parental love is not enough, and their love expands horizontally
through the love among brothers and sisters and the love of the tribe.
In other words, they grow to maturity while receiving all kinds of love
in heaven and earth. When they reach young adulthood, they
particularly thirst for love with the opposite sex. Engaging in this love
leads them to a more comprehensive love, through which they finally
find the center of love. (Blessed Family -1062)

The paths that man and woman walk exist because of love and for
the sake of love. My path is the path of love. I move in order to
attain love, keep love, and form an environment of love. It is also
for the sake of love that women put on cosmetics and receive
massages. Wanting something and doing work are all for the sake
of love. We overcome hardship and move on in order to attain
precious love. (Blessed Family -1066)

From the time we are born, we are receiving parental love. As long
as our parents are alive, they love us at any stage of life, be it the
period of childhood, the period of youth, or the period of middle
age. When we grow up receiving parental love, horizontal love of
husband and wife is bound to happen to each of us. (Blessed
Family -1062)

What do you think marriage is? It is a school, a place where the men
learn something they did not know about women, and women learn
something they did not know about men. All their grades should be
A’s in order for the husband and wife to be pleased. You have sons
and daughters for the sake of learning how to love the world.
Without them, you cannot be connected to the future.

Your sons and daughters are given to you as educational materials
through which you can be connected to the future world.
Fulfilling your filial duties to your ancestors and grandfather and
grandmother is like receiving education from the spirit world. All
these things are connected through love. The grandfather and
grandmother, husband and wife, and sons and daughters are all
connected through love. Just like the blood vessels in the human
body flow up and down, you can go up and down all the way to
your ancestors of 10 million generations in the spirit world and
also reach your distant descendants through this. So you should
know that this is how spirit world and the universe are organized.
All things will be governed in this way. We can say that becoming
a servant of love and a slave of love is the greatest happiness.
(Blessed Family -1062)

    For this reason, you should go through a process of passing the fearful judgment of substance. That is the law. On that day, a foundation of heart will automatically come into being. When you work hard fundraising and witnessing, why do people persecute and accuse you? That experience allows you to find heart, a heart you did not have, and to find love. It happens so that you can love such people.
    Without undergoing such a training course, however much you try to become heavenly people, you will not make it. In other words, you should find love greater than that in the satanic world. Otherwise you cannot go to heaven. We are trying to go to heaven by finding love and only those who have found love can go there.
    Who will be the Lords of judgment at that time? God, Jesus, and I will be the Lords of Judgment. Therefore you should put these things into practice. You should know that this is the task we are confronting and it is God’s command. (103-236, 1979.3.1)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1566

Now that the vertical and horizontal eight-stage indemnity has all been completed, the Ceremony of the Settlement of the Eight Stages could be performed on August 31, 1989, in Alaska, the most northerly location in the West. It is the northernmost place. On the first day of September, I declared “the ideology centered on the Heavenly Father” at the same place. The ideology centered on the Heavenly Father is simultaneously the ideology of salvation by love as well as the ideology of parental love. This parent-centered ideology is all about a life lived by giving love. Satan cannot oppose anything based on love. If he cannot oppose the path taken by the Unification Church, we can rapidly expand worldwide. (199-157, 1990.2.16)

Section 2. Life in its Original Form

What do you think is the cause of human existence? The cause of
human existence is love. Then where do you think the purpose of
human existence lies? The purpose of human existence lies in
completing the ideal of love. Human beings came into being
through love, and so their purpose is to perfect love by forming a
foundation of love and expanding and connecting it. In other
words, since the beginning is love, the purpose has to be reached
through love as well. For this, a man and a woman in partnership
must become one in love and connect front and back, left and
right, and above and below. (Blessed Family -1062)

When you enter the spirit world, you will not need to farm but rather you will 834 Book 6 • Our Life and the Spiritual Realm just eat and be at leisure. Then how will you enjoy yourself? You have to think about this. Do you think you would become bored? How would you enjoy your life if you were not involved in any disputes? How can you enjoy life without something that you would never tire of, even in a thousand years, something you would enjoy touching and listening to for thousands of years, even for billions of years? Food, you can eat everyday. Spirit world is a place where you easily can find anything you wish to eat and do anything you like. (279-21, 1996.6.9)

Because you received the precious thing called the Blessing, the door is open for you, but you cannot enter because you are not dressed in formal attire. You must go to the banquet house in formal attire. Can a groomsman go to a wedding in work clothes? Think about it. You have to dress appropriately for the occasion in order to go there and be welcomed into that environment. Otherwise you will be thrown out. People will say to you, “Get lost, blockhead!”

CHAPTER THREE

Our Course of Life
Centered on Love

Section 1. Why Are Human Beings Born?

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.
043-277, 1986.3.20)

When we examine where life comes from, we must ask the
question as to which comes first, life or love. Until now we have
not been able to discern this clearly. Love comes first, then life.
Because what comes second must meekly surrender to what
comes first, it is natural that we offer our lives for the sake of love.
This is the way things are. This then provides an answer as to the
true course for our life. Since our life is born in love, the
conclusion is that we must walk the way of love and die for love.

The purpose of human life is to find the love that the macrocosm,
not the microcosm, is able to welcome. It is to be born, to love and
to die in the midst of the great universal love that God, creation,
our parents, and the angelic world all acknowledge. This is how I
see it. (Blessed Family – 1062)

Human beings are not born based on their own choice. Then, are
they born due to their parents’ wishes? No. They are born due to
God’s desire. They are born through the love of their parents,
which represents God’s love. The person, who is born as a new life
through parental love, representing God’s love, is I. Love has the
power to create everything. The one who is born as the center of
the whole universe by receiving all the love of the universe is none
other than I. The highest purpose of life is to be born through
love, be raised in love, live by love, and to leave love behind. The
most valuable thing to do is to fulfill, in the family, the rules of
love that lie at the center of the universe. (Blessed Family – 1062)

You should understand why human beings are born. They are not
born for the sake of knowledge or political power. They are born
because of love and from love. Then what makes love so great? It
is the fact that love is the original source of life. You are born in
the midst of your parents’ love.

You are not born out of your parents’ desire for money or
knowledge. Since you are born in love like this, you should bear
fruits of love. This is why you need children. A husband and wife
become complete when they become one and have sons and
daughters as their object partners. (Blessed Family – 1062)

Human beings cannot exist apart from love. Therefore, we can say that
“I” live on the foundation of love. All things also originate in God’s love.
The existence of all things began on the foundation of love, so it is
undeniable that human beings, as the center of the created universe,
must also have begun in love. (Blessed Family – 1062)

Since human beings begin in love and mature through love, they cannot
live separated from the standard of love. (Blessed Family -1062)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 387

If a beautiful man and a beautiful woman, each created as God’s greatest work of art, were to make love centering on God, this would be a sublime expression of the highest, most transcendental love, rather than worldly love. This love is the most beautiful and representative love, the kind of love that will shine for all of eternity. (26-153, 1969.10.25)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 717

In order to be registered, we must go to the original homeland. But this is not a simple thing to do. We must follow procedures completely. In any country or land you visit and at any place in the Republic of Korea there is an area where you must register. Whoever you find seated at that counter, be it a man or woman, from whatever walk of life, they must stamp your passport. (177-310, 1988.5.22)
Richard: True Father, Rev. Moon has stated that we need to register by studying the Word (Hoon Dok Hae). In this analogy, you could say that True Father is the person seated behind the counter. We register by studying his words. The other necessary condition is to be Blessed.

Chapter Two

The Family Is the Model for the
Kingdom of Heaven

Section 8. The Family Is the Final Standard for
Completing the Cosmos-centered Ideology

From where is the Kingdom of Heaven realized? It is realized
from our families. Then what kind of ideology do we have? We
have a family-centered ideology. The word cosmos-ism (cosmos-
centered ideology) contains cheon meaning heaven
and ju meaning house; so it means the ideology of heaven’s house.
Only then does the meaning of the cosmos (cheon ju) become
clear. The sixty-six books of the Bible are filled with words that
desire an ideal family. Furthermore what is it that all men desire?
It is to have an ideal wife. Also the greatest desire of a woman is to
meet an ideal husband. No matter how proud and famous a
woman who has a doctorate may be, her desire is to meet an ideal
man, an ideal man she can love and with whom she can have her
beloved sons and daughters. This is the root of happiness. The
ideal of the Unification Church does not lie somewhere else. The
beginning is the family and the conclusion is the family. (26-102,
1969.10.18)
What kind of ideology is the cosmos-centered ideology? It is the
true parent-centered ideology. After all, these are both ideologies
upholding parents. This is the ideology of our house, the ideology
of our nation, and the ideology of your individual self. Had
human beings not fallen, whose ideology would rule the world? It
would be the Adam-centered ideology. This ideology is none
other than the way of true parents. It is the ideology of the mother
and father. There cannot be an ideology higher than this. Hence
the Unification Church should link matters of the heart with
heavenly ideology through the way of true parents within the
boundary of the original ideal family. As long as families that have
internalized such an ideology remain, the Unification Church will
not perish. (26-201, 1969.10.25)

I Made a Textbook that Teaches Everything

    People must heed their minds in seeking their destinies. This is heavenly law; God strikes those who disobey their minds’ dictates. All throughout history, God has been teaching us to live in conformity with our conscience and not be ensnared by the evils of materialism. Then does our conscience correspond to heavenly law one hundred percent? It does not, due to the innumerable barriers that obstruct it. Before the gateway to heaven are entrances into a labyrinth of challenges. In Christian terms, they are the gates of judgment. The current trend of thought is ushering in a time of fear, insecurity and chaos. It is a time in which people cannot hold on to the center however how hard they try.
    We should not allow ourselves to be encumbered by material things. Why not? When God created humankind with a physical self and a spirit self, the spirit was the center. (4-269, 1958.8.3)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 717

    We human beings were born because of God. The motive for our birth comes through the Creator. We are made by Him, but for what? This is the question. Did He create us because He wanted to leave diamonds to us because He likes them? Did He create us because he wants to bequeath His power, or to pass on all His knowledge because He likes knowledge? What is our origin, our beginning? This is the question. Even if we were to assert ourselves as having originated from the absolute God and being born out of an internal bond with Him, if we do not clearly understand the process for returning to the original homeland in the future, everything now underway will remain unfinished.
    The motive for our birth comes from our mother and father. We were born because the lives of our father and mother intertwined. But the inheritance of the characteristics of both parents was not the result of their lives colliding. Beforehand, the fundamental action and motive that connected these two lives together, was love. When we consider the preciousness of life and love, life is in second place, and love is in first place. (177-305, 1988.5.22)

Owner of Peace, Owner of Lineage

Rev. Sun Myung Moon
July 7, 2009

The sea has such capability; that is why the sea is important. The sea is able to process and digest not only sewage and other stuff that pours into it, but also an entire country. Therefore, the Pacific Rim era is what kind of era? It is the era of refuge.

When it was time for the people of Israel to return to the land of Canaan, God gave Moses His special order, “Now, go back to the land of your ancestors! Go back to your hometown, to Jerusalem!” Had Moses been able to enter Canaan, he was then supposed to gather the 31 kings and chieftains of that area and instruct them about following the Law centering on the Ark of the Covenant. They were to understand clearly that if even one person violated the Law, the whole country would be fundamentally ruined. After the whole nation, including each individual comprising it, had returned the homeland, each individual’s mistake would mean a failure of the whole nation.

God gave Moses a family-type standard: the deeds of a father and a mother would determine the rise or fall of the whole nation. As fathers and mothers of their tribes, all the thirty-one kings of the land were supposed to display proper etiquette and make tens of thousands of bows in front of the Ark of the Covenant as it passed by, all the while repenting of their past sins. Nobody could pass the judgment without exhibiting such standard. Any group of people that would not submit itself because of pride and ambition would be excluded. If one person failed to submit, his clan and the nation to which he belonged would be expelled.

Look at the Second World War. It was a confrontation between England, America, and France on one side, and Japan, Germany, and Italy on the other. England is the mother-country and America is her child, isn’t she? What is France, then? It is a furnace that holds seeds of fire ready to burst at any moment. France is a country ready to burst with fire. Japan and Asia were to become a central region based on the three nations of England, America, and France, subjugating the three nations of Japan, Germany, Italy. They represented the three generations of the whole world — formation, growth, and completion. This was to prepare for the settlement of the era of the Fourth Adam, which comes on the foundation of the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Completed Testament Ages. Did you know this? Of course you did not!

Precisely because you were not aware of these things, I made a textbook that teaches everything. Those of you who are parents should buy this book (True Families; Gateway to Heaven) for each of your children. If you have twelve sons, you should buy twelve copies of the book and educate your children to achieve the unity of the number thirteen, counting you, as parents, in the center. Have absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience! Based on the content of this textbook, your sons and daughters will become one and never separate from God.

Twelve sons represent twelve branches and form the number thirteen when you include Jesus. Jesus needed twelve disciples come before he could form the number thirteen. But because the number thirteen was not established, the twelve sons sold and denied their father. Did they not kill him?

The sinful lineage that was left behind and that destroyed the universe can be traced back in history to Arctic hunters. Since there is not much food in the Arctic, Cain occupied the plains and the land along the rivers. Originally, citizens of the Heavenly Kingdom were supposed to arrive; however, this did not happen. Instead, the land was taken by hunters. To cope with a hard life, they made guns. Hunters are thieves. Hunters like to see blood spilled.

If four people start out on a hunting expedition in the fall, only one will return in the spring. Why? Each of the men knows some good spots to catch animals such as tigers or wolves, so together they traverse peaks and valleys in the mountain forests to make their kill. At some point, they decide among the four, “This fellow is weak and won’t make it. Let’s kill him and take his share!” One person would be killed in December, one in January, and one in March. In the end, the last person remaining would take everything for himself. He would have all the prey that the four of them had hunted down since they started the previous fall.

When the hunters return, they have no friends, no sons and daughters, and no relatives to share the proceeds after they sell their booty. They are alone with no siblings, no father and son, and no other relatives. If they were lucky enough to catch a lion, they might need to return early. Since they arrive back by spring, they could plow the land and plant crops, but can hunters do farming? So instead they wander off to seek higher mountains, higher domains, and higher fishing places. A fishing place has no owner. Even if people are judged for killing animals, what harm is there in catching fish at a fishing place?

Do you know that Sweden and Norway were pirate bases? If countries could come together on a hunting trip, there would ultimately remain only one country. So, white people studied firearms and invented the machine gun.
