God's Plan for the Human Family

We may not realize God. One thing we can be sure of is that the entire universe consists of plus-minus or subject-and-object relationships. Male and female.

The Words of True Parents from 1996

God's Plan for the Human Family

This is an excerpt from the speech given on August 1st after the inauguration of the FFWP.

In our world, there are only two different kinds of humankind, man, and woman.

When it comes to human beings again, there are two kinds, man and woman. Can we change a man into a woman or a woman into a man? Well then that is the question, are you born as a man because you wanted to be born as a man or vice versa?

Woman, what about woman?

Well, we didn't even know that we would be born. We didn't even think about it.

We don't know the cause or process or purpose of man, yet one day we are born as a man or as a woman. No matter how great or famous you may be, we are the result, not the cause.

However, we may call ourselves, the second case, not the first cause. If that is the case, there must be the first cause.

Who do you think is the first cause, a man or a woman?

Well, we are not certain about it, yet there should be the first cause. Don't you agree? You may call that the first cause God or storm or tree, regardless of what name you may put on that first cause, we all agree that there should be the first cause.

Well, many of you are from all over the world, who are famous and well-known people, therefore some of you may think well where is God? Show me God then I will believe in God.

However, please take my advice, don't go that far. Therefore, tonight my topic is searching for the origin. If we keep searching deeper and deeper to find our origin our root.

What can we find? The origin must be one.

The Path, its Purpose and its Value
For human beings, there is a path we must walk as individuals. At the same time, we also must walk a path as a group, a society, a nation and the world.

However, since man and woman two different characters originated from the origin. This origin should have a man character and a woman character.

Then what do you think is the origin of the universe?

Even if we don't see God. We may not realize God. One thing we can be sure of is that the entire universe consists of plus-minus or subject-and-object relationships. Male and female.

Even when we look at the mineral kingdom, there is a plus ion and a minus ion.

Plant kingdom we all see the stamen and pistil. And the animal kingdom, there are male animals and female animals. Even when it comes to mankind, there are men and women. All male and female characters.

Furthermore, when we look at the world of existence. There is a certain formula that the higher beings always absorb the lower beings. For example, the animals and plants exist for the sake of mankind. Mineral kingdoms exist for the sake of the plant kingdom, animal kingdom, and human kingdom.

What is that for?

In other words, all these existing things besides humankind exist for the sake of mankind. Man is the Lord of Creation. Even when we look at the mineral kingdom, there is a plus ion and a minus ion. Always they have this reciprocal relationship.

Then why do they have that kind of relationship there, it is because of the power of love? The level of power may be lower than that of human beings, but there is a love that keeps them having this reciprocal relationship between plus ion and minus ion.

In the same taken when we look at the plant kingdom, again there is a pistil and a stamen, they work as a plus and a minus in this kind of reciprocal relationship. Again, they function based on love on the power of love.

Modern technology found out that even when it comes to germs, there is always a plus kind of germ and a minus kind of germ.

In Search of the Origin of the Universe
In this world, there are two kinds of human beings: men and women. Can they decide to exchange positions?

Well, that plus kind of germs and minus kind of germs have to be united to become one centered on what do you think they have to become one?

Centered on kissing? Embracing?

What should be the central force to make them one? Love. Love is not a concept. Love is a reality. When you say love, love is a concept, love is not a reality. What is the sight upon which love can be settled? Can anybody answer?

Well, you are right family. Then centered on what?

Your family has to be settled. Well, you are all famous scholars and leaders of the world and through this convention during the last three days, you have heard from President Ford, President Bush, and many other dignitaries and even tonight those famous entertainers praised the theme Family Federation for World Peace. Then from what our family should start.

Well then let me ask you, what distinguished man and woman?

What is the unique part of yourself distinguishing yourself as a man or as a woman?

Sexual organ. I have heard wonderful things. Does anybody like sexual organs Is there anybody who doesn't like it? So what is your position? Do you like it, or you don't like it? The audience likes it.

How much do you like it? Do you like it because you don't dislike it? Or do you like it, At what point do you like it? How much do you like it?

Well, you may say I didn't like sexual organs until now. Butt now from tonight on, I am determined to like sexual organs because our future depends on how much we like sexual organs. That is not a joke.

When God first created mankind, what part of ourselves did God consider creating?

Our eyes? Our ears? Our heart? Our sexual organs? (audience: sexual organ) If we only had brains, humankind would have been extinguished a long time ago. A long time ago.

This is true. Is there anybody who disagrees with Reverend Moon about that point? That means you all admit it.

Well, we are here to inaugurate the Family Federation for World Peace here, however, let us think about the time that we are all united through a sexual organ.

There is an absolute sex standard, then God even joins us and rejoices with us together, then what kind of world can we create? Well, we are created as a man and a woman, and we have different organs between man and woman. Do man's organs belong to man or woman?

What abo women's organs? Do they belong only to women or to men? Another part of your body may belong to you. However, when it comes to your sexual organ man's sexual organ belongs to his wife.

A man's sexual organ's owner is a woman. A woman's sexual organ owner is the man. It is a simple truth nobody can deny it.

No matter how many tens of billions of history history may continue, this truth will never change. Look at the world out there it is all decaying and going down the drain because the main reason is that all men think their sexual organs only belong to them and all women think their sexual organs belong only to women not to their husbands not to their wives.

We all say love is eternal, unchanging, and unique, that is God's character, however, if humankind had known the real owner of our sexual organs our true spouse, the world would have been in a different shape by now.

The Family is Rooted in Absolute Sexual Ethics, Which is the Model for God’s Absoluteness, Peace, and Ideal, and the Global Kingdom
Ladies and gentlemen, throughout history, people have worked continuously for peace, based upon human effort alone.

There are millions and millions of PhDs and scholars all over the world, yet none of you has thought about it. Can anybody deny this fact? Even if we start tracing back back to our ancestors, even to God. When we ask this same question they will all answer the same yes. Do you agree?

If there is anybody who doesn't agree, that means that person has something wrong up here, crazy like, crazy. Since this is the absolute formula given by God from the beginning of human history, when we reach the spirit world and stand in front of God. Depending on this very formula, we will be decided one way or another.

The fall of man, at the time of Adam and Eve, took place because they didn't realize the ownership of their sexual organs. Well, you all heard Mrs. Moon's speech, that the fall of Adam and Eve didn't, was not caused by the eating of the fruits, real fruits, but because of their illicit sex, illicit love, and love relationship.

Think about it, God is the God of love. If they were God's children, his children at least actual fruit, God wouldn't kick them out of the Garden of Eden, but they went against this universal formula, love formula, that is why God kicked them out of the Garden of Eden.

From the mineral kingdom, and plant kingdom, all the way up to human life, the partners between subject and object, partners always possess their sexual organs for the sake of their other partner.

Then what is the ultimate purpose of possessing sexual organs in our bodies?

Because of love. Love is at the end of the tunnel of our sexual organs. That is why the entire world exists between male characters and female characters.

We all say God's attributes are absolute, unchanging, unique,e and eternal. And who owns love? Not man, not woman, absolutely not.

To whom does love belong? Who owns love? God.

God is not two, only one God. Love is the only mediator that can make God and man united. Because God needs love as well as man needs love. Through love, God, and man can meet. God needs absolute love.

What about us?

Do you need love?

God needs absolute love, unique, eternal, and unchanging love. We as children of God, also need absolute love, unique, unchanging, eternal love. Since God is a dual characteristic.

God has plus and minus characteristics, so when God created man, man was a manifestation of his dual characteristics plus males, minus females, therefore by the completion of the creation of man and woman, God wanted to see this horizontal love relationship completed as well as the vertical relationship established centering on this horizontal love relationship completed relationship between man and woman. Because man has to deal with this horizontal space, this physical world, that is the way man wears this physical body.

However, we all have a conscience, which deals with the vertical God. This is the vertical axis for man because God's absolute love always travels through this vertical axis, not through horizontal relationships.

Therefore, the meeting point of a horizontal love relationship between a man and a woman is the same That is the point to be created when a man grows from childhood stage up to adulthood, and when they become adult adult men and women they become one through marriage at this point also man can meet God through establishing this vertical axis. This is the same point where we can find happiness, freedom, and unification.

Only centered on this absolute love absolute God can be happy. Furthermore, the object of absolute love to God can be happy. This very centpointntis where God and man and husband and wife, brother and brother, sister and sister meet. This very point is the center point which can create spherical movement.

In oriental tradition, we call the relationship between parents and children one, parents and children are one husband and wife are one, and brothers and brothers and sisters and sisters are one based on what?

Centered on based on this very true love, love point. The relationship between God and man is father and son, parents and children centering on what? True love.

How big is man's desire ambition?

Is your ambition greater than that of God?

Well, your ambition may be smaller than that God, how, very, no matter how shabby-looking you may be. Your ambition can become greater than anybody else's in the world, do you agree?

Suppose you are the blood son of God, then when you are loved by God, if you want to call God with your pinkie, do you think God will follow you?

If God purely loves you. By the same token, your wife may be ugly looking, tiny, and ugly looking, however, if you truly love your wife, when your wife calls you with her pinkie, don't you want to go to her, don't you want to follow her wherever she goes?

What Reverend Moon is saying is that God loves me, but can you see that?

How can you prove it? Well, you say the entire world loves Reverend Moon, but Reverend Moon is talking about God's love. God's love first, then father, mother, and the children, this is love's order.

Don't you think that God would feel lonely when he is all alone? Have you seen it? How can you say that? You dignified-looking gentlemen, do you all possess love within yourself?

What about life? Do you have a life? What about lineage?

What about conscience?

Do you all have your conscience?

Have you seen love? What about life? What about lineage? What about conscience? Have you touched them? They all exist, yet you cannot touch them or see them.

Only through our mind, we can recognize them, we can feel them. What about the existence of Go? Have you seen God? Have you touched God? No. Yet, we cannot deny God's existence. Usually, what is more precious and important the visible things or the invisible things? Invisible.

But we all ordinarily consider visible things more precious, money, and power. These are the visible kinds, we can touch them, and we can use them. Yet, we cannot see, nor touch our love, life, lineage, and conscience.

We all have them. Yet, why can't we feel them all the? Why, because they are totally one with us. There is no separation between ourselves and those elements.

As we continue our daily lives, do you always realize how many times our eyes are blinking? If you keep counting how many times your eyes are blinking for three days, you will get fainted.

Fight On Using Your Conscience As Your Teacher
You came from all different provinces to attend this 40-day workshop here at headquarters and we have already come to the end.

Do you always count how many times we breathe?

Could you all if your right arm and put your right hand on top of your left chest here? So what do you feel, and what do you hear?

Do you hear something like the big ship's horn blowing? How many times do you hear your heartbeat a day? Occasionally when we are totally busy we forget about it for months, even a year.

But why don't you borrow a stethoscope from a medical doctor and put it right on top of your heart and try to hear how noisy it is, how big the sound you can hear? It is like an explosion. Even when a small fly bites our forehead, we immediately feel the difference, and we try to kill it or chase it away.

If somebody pulls one strand of your hair you feel pain, yet when this size of noise, and explosion constantly takes place in your body, why can't we feel it all the time? Because they are totally one with us.

You have to excuse me for this kind of explanation, but this is more vivid and realistic, so I want to use an example here. Every morning, don't you go to your bathroom and sit on top of the toilet bowl?

When you do your number two, do you always wear a mask?

It is a serious matter don't just laugh. Well, if somebody does it right inside your bathroom, then probably you may hold your nose and run out of the bathroom, but when you are doing your own, you don't smell it, you can even read the newspaper there.

Why can't you the difference because that is totally one with your body?

When we are young children, we usually pick our nose and pick some wax and make a wax ball and usually taste it. Was it sweet or salty? You say salty, that means you tried. And why didn't we real dirty? Because that was part of our body.

Nobody in human history revealed this kind of secret which Reverend Moon is now giving you. But Reverend Moon may be able to go into a more profound explanation of this kind of relationship, yet, we already spent thirty minutes you know, time is running out.

You distinguished presidents and guests, when you cough, you have a cold sometimes, you feel some kind of sputum, do you always spit it out, or sometimes you swallow it? You don't feel dirty even if you swallow it, why? Because that is part of you.

Ordinarily, we all take three meals a day, but after each meal, what's happening, about a foot below our mouth, where we put our food, is the fertilizer factory here.

Otherwise, eating a meal means we are providing raw materials for this fertilizer factory, a factory resource.

If you truly think about only that aspect of it, providing resources for the fertilizer factory, even if you want to eat something, can you continue?

Or will you just drop it? If you truly look at your stomach as a fertilizer factory, would you feel good when you put food into your mouth to food your factory?

But why don't we feel that even though that is a reality in a way? Do you understand? Even if we have life, love, lineage, and conscience by ourselves we cannot feel them. By the same token even though God has life, love, lineage, and conscience, God himself, cannot feel them. Because they are totally one with God with them. That is why.

That is what feel their love, life, lineage, and conscience, even God needs his object of love. By the same token, man alone cannot feel all these four lives, love, lineage, get, and conscience. However, as soon as his love object appears, a beautiful woman. Then all of these four elements start functioning right away, being pulled like a magnet. Isn't it true?

Mankind didn't know that even God needed his love object. Then who do you think is in the position of object of love to God? If the monkey is our ancestor you may call a man the second generation of monkey. Monkey cannot be the cause.

Well, there is an evolution there, however, from the amoebae to the human level, there can be thousands of different doors of love to travel out. Can amoebae travel along through all these different stages to reach human beings by themselves? Nobody can change species.

They have their species. Suppose there is a very hairy man here and put him with a female monkey and have them live for a hundred years together, do you think they will produce something out of them? No. No means never okay.

God has dual characteristics; male and female, however, to be in the position of Father, Father God, God's male characteristics is in the position of subject.

Therefore, what kind of partner, or object do you think God needs?

Partner and object to deal with God's hand or God's foot, or God's head or what? What do you think? Do you think God needs a love partner too? Then, in the world of creation who or what can be in the position, of a partner of love to God?

Then can you say that only man can be the partner of love to God? Woman? God doesn't need a partner for his hand, his head, or his foot, whatsoever. But God needs a partner of love.

Therefore, where God dwells is the place where man and man's love and woman's love meet and become harmonized. That is the place where God's love dwells. Because love is absolute. When man and woman, these two loves become absolute at one point. Then and only then God can come down to that point.

Horizontally man is the position of plus woman minus. In God, there are dual characteristics of plus and minus, therefore, when this horizontal plus and minus man and women become totally one, they form another large size minus towards God.

Therefore, God who is the plus subject being comes down and becomes one with this human being, the minus. So when does it take place? Why is our marriage important? Because through our marriage we find love. We learn love. We find our life there. Through marriage man's life and woman's life become one.

The New Future of Christianity
Since this message came from God, and since it is from God’s standpoint, the content naturally may be different from human understanding.

That is where, through marriage the lineage, the lineage of your family tree takes place. Only through that, you can be your individual, your family, your nation, and your world.

Therefore, it is a universal formula that centers on love parents and children and husband and wife, brothers and brothers and sisters and sisters they all have to become absolutely one in your family, then only then God will come down to your family level and dwell in your family, with your family.

Then, when you all pass into the spirit world, you will go to the spirit world with God, which will become the kingdom of God in heaven.

But because this world is lacking, there is no absolute unity centered on love in your family, in your society, in your nation in your world, that is why the kingdom of God in Heaven is still vacant. All the people who have passed away in the past human history ended up in hell.

That is why when Jesus cried, was passing into the spirit world, he said, “I will stay in paradise, not in the Kingdom of Heaven”. You cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven as an individual. The prerequisite is your family, a united family. Then you will be qualified to enter into the kingdom of God.

Even Jesus Christ was not exceptional in this formula. Because of Jesus Christ, he was supposed to form his family and build an absolute family so that his family could enter into the kingdom of God. But he could not.

That is what he says when the Bible says, “If it is tied in this world it will be tied up in the heaven, if it opens here it will be untied in heaven.

That is, we all have to solve whatever problem we may have in this physical world.

Because of the fall of man, we humankind all live under the level of the fall; therefore, we must penetrate this cut line and enter into the new realm.

It may be almost impossible to penetrate this barrier, to enter another realm, that is why even the Bible says, "Those who seek to live will lose their life and on the other hand those who are willing to give up their life, will find their life."

The world we are living in right now is a fallen family, fallen society, fallen nation, fallen world. That is why this world is rampant with wars and battles.

At that time, Adam's family turned upside down. Were Adam and Eve kicked out of the Garden of Eden after they produced their children or before?

Did God chase Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden or Adam and Eve's entire family with the children?

If you do not even know that simple fact, how can you claim that you are a Christian and you are preparing yourself to enter into the kingdom? Ignorance is not accepted.

Well, you may call Reverend Moon a six-times convict. Ordinarily, when you meet a six-time convict, you will run away. However, because Reverend Moon has been working hard to change people from the wrong side to the right side throughout his life and therefore people labeled him as brainwashed, and therefore he had to go through incarceration many times.

Throughout history, those communists always felt that Reverend Moon's teaching was superior to their teaching, which is why they all mobilized their forces to destroy Reverend Moon's movement.

At the same time, those Christians, thought Reverend Moon's teaching was different from what they had been teaching, which is why they labeled the Unification Church as heretics, however, who are heretics? Who has the truth?

Nobody knows. Maybe what Satan likes most is what God doesn't like most. And what Satan doesn't like most is what God likes most.

Development of Civilization Seen from the Viewpoint of the Principle
As human beings created by God, we were born with an innate hope to attain our dreams and realize an ideal world in relationship with God.
