On the foundation of having fulfilled your portion of responsibility centered on God, you can become united with His love and heavenly fortune is set in motion. Once this starts who can knock it off its course? Satan will not even be able to show his face. If this kind of foundation is made, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth will automatically appear.

What attracts God most is the culture of love. Would He require money, power, knowledge or things like that? In order to design and build a nice house, one would need bricks, doors, and various other materials, but most important of all would be the overall beauty of perfection that gives the finishing touch to it. The greatest hope God cherishes for humankind is not for us to be wealthy or to become academics. As it is stated in the Bible, you should love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. This is the First Commandment. The Second Commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. These are amazing words. (143-273, 1986.3.20)

Core concept 57:  True Parents are the origin of the founding of a new world.

Reading:  Pledge Number 8

Our family, the Owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges, having entered the Completed Testament Age, to achieve the ideal of God and human beings united in love through absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, and to perfect the realm of liberation and complete freedom in the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, by centering on true love.

8.1. As we enter the Completed Testament Age

8.1.1. What is the Completed Testament Age?

The Completed Testament Age refers to a new age that begins now. It refers to the time when we can establish one unified world of peace through the oneness of families, tribes, peoples, nations and the world. This represents everyone, not only the family. By uniting the world, and uniting the whole universe, we enter the Completed Testament Age. When we establish a world that befits the Completed Testament Age, after uniting the present world through the new families based on the four realms of heart and the three kingships, we will finally have one world of peace. (243-262, 1993.1.17)

 What is the Completed Testament Age? Serving and caring for the True Parents and the True God, centering on the relationships of love, life and lineage, we are returning to the period when human beings have dominion with which they can act on behalf of God’s authority, representing the subject being of the whole world, and standing there in the center position. An age full of hope is coming. I would like you to quickly prepare for this before it is too late. (245-160, 1993.2.28) p. 2511

Since the creation, God’s providence of restoration has gone through tens of millions of years of history, but its standard has not yet been established. Rev. Moon finally arrived, established the Unification Church and revealed this truth, making this possible. That is why he announced the Completed Testament Age and the True Parents. This is an event that has a great effect on world  history. Yet, rather than calling it an event, it serves as an origin to found a new world. The philosophy of the True Parents and the expression Completed Testament Age embrace such a meaning. What promise is being fulfilled in the Completed Testament Age? It is the promise that God made to human beings at the time of creation. It is not the age of the providence of restoration or the age of the providence of salvation, but is the world of the ideal of creation that is to be realized. God thought of the words “True Parents” even before human beings did. God’s ideal of creation is the appearance of the True Parents. In that word is found the core of the ideal that God created from the beginning. Thus, Heaven cannot remain still. We are entering the age of the great transformation or change throughout the world. (248-188, 1993.9.30) pp. 2511-2512

God is the Vertical Parent and Perfected Adam & Eve Are the Horizontal Parents

We’ll see you at the Peaceful Families; Peaceful World workshop this coming weekend!

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1506

The cosmos-centered ideology is for the sake of achieving mind-body unity. It is to establish the family as the embodiment of God’s love, and to implement these ideas in the spiritual and physical worlds. The Chinese character for ju (宙) in cheon-ju (cosmos) means “house.” That’s why the term “cosmos-centered ideology” is being used. The cosmos is the combination of the incorporeal and corporeal worlds. How does this relate to us? We need a family. If you cannot achieve oneness on the family level, the cosmos-centered ideology will have nothing to do with you. The God-centered family is the ultimate standard to complete the ideal about which such a cosmos-centered ideology teaches. If you cannot sing the song of peace and praise happiness in the family on earth, you will be unhappy in the spirit world. (26-190, 1969.10.25)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1315

The year 1970 saw the beginning of a great mobilization. The Blessed Families from ten nations around the world were called to Korea, in order to restore Canaan. They were called to Korea and became completely united while over here. You must know that this was after the Blessing of the 777 Couples. Wasn’t that Blessing held in 1970? In making such a foundation, the Unification tribe from across the world representing ten nations came to participate. Going beyond the number nine, which signifies formation, growth and completion, the number ten is the number of God, and it also corresponds to the number twelve. That is why the ten nations must be connected providentially. (69-237, 1974.1.1)

The longer you take to achieve this, the longer your ancestors will have to wait, tapping their feet impatiently in the spirit world, and exclaiming, “You dimwits! What’s taking you so long?” They want to be liberated as soon as possible, and so the liberation of the realm of the archangel will take place quickly. Since we are blessing the realm of the archangel on earth, we should also bless those in the spirit world. That is why as soon as we have accomplished the Blessing of 3.6 million couples, I can bequeath to Heung-jin and Dae Mo Nim the power to bless those in the spirit world. (284-164, 1997.4.16)

When God began creation, do you think He started by first creating the color He liked the most or the color He disliked the most? If that’s the question, then what color is the flower that blooms in early spring? It is a purple color. The color purple includes red and pink, and what other colors? It has all the colors in it. You like the color purple, don’t you? Elegant things are in purple. In the spirit world, the most beautiful color is purple. (197-49, 1990.1.7)

CHAPTER THREE

Our Course of Life
Centered on Love

Section 8. Earthly Life is Training to be in
Rhythm with the Spirit World

I have a depth of spiritual experience. The spirit world is a place
enveloped in the elements of love. On the earth, we breathe air,
but in the spirit world, people live by inhaling love. The love you
share in the spirit world is not secular human love but true love.
(145.267, 1986.5.15)

When you go to spirit world, you will find that those who have fully
loved their parents, brothers and sisters, spouse, and children — that
is, those who have experienced deep love in their family life — will
be able to enjoy great freedom. They can go everywhere without
restriction. Conversely, those in the spirit world who have no
experience of love are narrow-minded; they find themselves isolated
and alone, with no freedom whatsoever. The love between parents
and children is a vertical relationship, the love between husband
and wife is a horizontal relationship, and the love among brothers
and sisters is a relationship that circles and surrounds.

These three relationships differ from one another. Therefore, only
when you experience deep love through these three mutually
distinct interactions on earth can you circulate freely vertically,
horizontally, and in a circle. Those who have not tasted parental
love because their parents died early are in a rather tragic position
because they are missing an important experience of love.
Likewise, those who have not experienced the conjugal love
relationship of husband and wife as well as love in the family,
become poor people in the spirit world because they lack a crucial
experience of life. Those who have no brothers and sisters will also
be in a poor position in the spirit world because they lack this
experience. (Blessed Family – 1062)

The reason to marry is to deeply experience parental love, conjugal
love, and children’s love. We need these experiences because the
spirit world is filled with the air of such love. You need to have a
family to train yourself to be in rhythm with the spirit world. Those
who go to the spirit world without these experiences of love cannot
follow the rhythm there. They will be as one without a nose to
inhale such air of love. (Blessed Family -1062)

You are born from your father and mother. What is more
fundamental is the fact that you are born from God by having
borrowed your mother’s womb. You find true parents through the
universal parents and through your physical parents. Your
physical parents are temporary, so the moment of your death is a
time of jubilation when you go to meet the True Parents. The true
love of the true parents is there. This is the Kingdom of Heaven in
heaven, where the atmosphere is composed of love and filled with
parental love. That love is not for me; it is a love that is in keeping
with the unilateral law under the principle of service and sacrifice.
In accord with this principle, you must love the universe and
humankind. Your life on earth is the training ground for the
development of such love. (105-108, 1979.9.30)

How important is your life on earth? You only live it once. It is a
short moment that only comes once. When compared to eternal
life, the earthly life is but a point. It is too short a moment. At this
moment, we must go beyond our physical life and make
preparation for the spirit world. (207-99, 1990.11.1)

The Heavenly Constitution Begins through Us

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2207

    We are bound together by the destiny resulting from the unfolding history of God’s providence, in which He has been pursuing His long-cherished goal of dissolving the anguish He has accumulated over six millennia. Accordingly, even though we have different surnames, we should live with greater love than blood brothers and sisters.
    Although you are attending parents who are not your natural parents, you are the people that seek to attend the Parents, centering on God, even more sincerely than you would your natural parents. On top of that, despite having our own country, we are the people that seek to live for the sake of God’s nation with loyalty, filial piety, and virtue. (47- 81, 1971.8.19)

    Now the final time has come. Parents must find “my country.” To do that, all Blessed Families are to stand in a circle horizontally around Father and Mother and represent them by progressively fulfilling the duties of filial children, patriots, saints, and divine children. You will thereupon occupy those positions and proceed to observe the laws of the palace and uphold the laws of God’s nation. You should understand that the Heavenly Constitution actually begins through us. This is what “my country” means. (197-87, 1990.1.7)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1399

I also needed to surmount twelve peaks after crossing over ten at first. The Blessing of 3.6 Million Couples is the twelfth peak. We must surmount them all. In the song ‘Arirang’, the word ‘arirang’ is a composite of ‘Ae,’ meaning love, ‘Ri,’ meaning village, and ‘Ryeong’ meaning hill. I understand that the word signifies the search for the village you love. In the song, the lyrics go on to say, “If you leave me, you won’t have gone ten ri (about 2.5 miles) before you become footsore.” That song also mentions the twelve peaks of arirang. At present, I am undergoing all manner of hardship to cross over the twelfth peaks. After this is accomplished, everything will be equalized, and we will all be able to go anywhere we wish. (289-263, 1998.1.21)

Chapter Two

The Family Is the Model for the
Kingdom of Heaven

Section 5. The Family Brings Together the Love
of Three Generations

The family encompasses history, the present and the future. So
what is the ultimate point that God has sought for six thousand
years? It is the family — the family where love is interconnected
and where all are united in love. Everything that exists comes
under its dominion.
We cannot cut our relationship with this absolute source of love.
The establishment of such a family was the original mission that
God gave Adam and Eve at the time of creation. God did not want
them to merely end up as a man, Adam, and a woman, Eve, but
instead dreamed of a new family where they would be united. This
is the first starting point towards establishing men and women.
Thus to be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven safely, you have
to find a family and within the realm of that family in this world,
enter and live in a place where you can feel satisfied in God’s love.
Only then can you go beyond this world as well. (30-85,
1970.3.17)
In order to form the family realm of love you have to be
unconditional. The parents represent the past, the husband and
wife represent the present, and the children represent the future.
Loving one partner during your lifetime is the equivalent to God
loving the world. It is a place where in oneness the parents, a
couple, and the children offer their love as an example
representing heaven and earth and tell their descendants to follow
them. The original homeland of the heart, the place where
heavenly affection is felt will be remembered in heaven and earth.
(30-78, 1970.3.17)
What has God been looking for up until now? He has not been
seeking a subject partner; rather He has been looking for an ideal
object partner. He has been looking for those who resemble God
What is the starting point that leads to such a result? It is the
family. There is nothing that can represent the universe better
than the family. To be one with the parents is for past and present
to meet. Here, you can love the past by loving your parents, love
the present by loving your partner, and love the future by loving
your children. Therefore, you can deeply experience the love of
three generations. The place where these three kinds of love are
concentrated is the family. (30-80, 1970.3.17)
Then where does life in the Kingdom of Heaven begin? It is the
family. It does not unfold somewhere else. The Kingdom of
Heaven is just a three-dimensional expansion of the family and
not something that goes beyond the family realm. Therefore when
you embrace your husband or wife, you should think that this is a
man of the world becoming one with a woman of the world. The
place where you can make the condition of having loved mankind
is none other than the family.
You should live your life this way. To love your parents is to
connect history with the present and to pave the road for God to
come to you. Therefore you have to love your parents. To love
your parents is to connect the human beings of history with
yourself as an inhabitant of the present, that is to unite the past
and the present. Furthermore loving your children centering on
yourself is to connect the present with the future. And the
philosophy that practices and sings the praise of such love for a
thousand and tens of thousands of years is Unification thought.
(30-82, 1970.3.17)

    Then, is it enough just to attend True Parents? It is not. After attending True Parents, you need to restore a true family, a tribe, a people, a nation, and the world. The people of Israel was prepared for this. To stand before True Parents as true children, the children’s course of individual-level restoration, course of family-level restoration, course of tribal-level restoration, course of ethnic-level restoration and course of national-level restoration are to be accomplished. Through the completion of the parents’ course of restoration for the individual, family, tribe, people and nation and the children’s course of restoration for the individual, family, tribe, people and nation, the standard of parents and children having become one and victorious is established. Only after this can we finally conclude national-level restoration and make a fresh start toward the global level.
    Then, what is the mission of the Unification Church and in what kind of position are you who have joined the church? You have been called into the Unification Church, of which I am the central figure. You are in the position of having to horizontally and physically develop what has been a sorrowful six thousand years of vertical history. What kind of resolution do we have to make? What is the goal we must aim for? We must establish the nation of True Parents on a worldwide foundation. We must establish the world-level nation of True Parents.

While the fruit is growing, its essential elements should never be severed. It should be left undisturbed to grow continuously. From the day its life began until the time it is harvested by the owner and kept in storage, the essential elements should never be disconnected, not even once. Whether it is windy – or worse still, stormy, they must not be disconnected no matter what hardships may come. These essential elements must be retained without interruption, from beginning to end.

So it all leads naturally to a single conclusion. If you welcome this, raise both hands in Mansei twelve times. No matter what you do — what did I say about this? Die if you are told to die; live if you are told to live. You need to become free and liberated people who are free to go, if you are so directed, to sell everything and relocate anywhere. Where are the members of God’s family who, as the inheritors of total release, become God’s princes and princesses and go with Him to the Heavenly Kingdom that is His original homeland? You must keep this law. The new Kingdom of Heaven will begin only if there is a starting point where this law is upheld as the eternal heavenly constitution.

Raise your hand if you say you will not have a copy of this book (True Families; Gateway to Heaven). Buy a copy today, and keep it in your coat pocket. By the time autumn comes, you should become a person who reflects completely the content of this book. You must not become any other type of person. Once you reflect this book, you must not change; you must maintain the same ideology.

Parents should raise their children using this textbook so that they can also attend God as His sons and daughters. Those who were blessed but fell again, those who committed adultery, drank alcohol, or engaged in illicit sex cannot stand on this foundation. This is absolute. You should indicate that you absolutely understand this by raising your hands and clapping twelve times. Clap with your hands and feet — three times, three times, three times, and three times. You have gone up and down and laid a foundation by pledging twelve times that you welcome this, so how will you ever deny this?

If a person can see East, West, North, and South, can see the Big Dipper and the Southern Cross constellations, and is able to feel these, how would such a person engage in a hodgepodge of divorces? You get married only once. This is a revolution. America, too, needs to have a revolution. Give people this book (True Families; Gateway to Heaven). You must create a revolution. People need to read this book and live in accordance with what it says. If they do, they will certainly go to heaven.

This is a standard of testimony that is guaranteed by the person who liberated True Parents, True Teacher, True King, and even God Himself. It is an absolute constitution among all constitutions that can be used by the lawyers of heaven, the prosecutors of heaven, the judges of heaven. So please understand that there can be no excuse for going against this, and live your lives in total accordance with it.

I am grateful that you say you will live this way, and I will return to Korea. Two or three years from now, I will be able to do anything I want in Korea. If the Korea-Japan Tunnel is not built, then Korea will build the Bering Strait Tunnel. I can easily do this alone. If I take charge, it will easily be done. Am I able to gather the plutocrats with a day’s notice or not? Just wait and see.
