1. Noon settlement is possible when there is no shadow. When the mind and body become one, the shadow disappears. When a couple becomes one, the shadow disappears. When the sun is in the east, the shadow is cast toward the west. When the sun is in the west, the shadow is cast toward the east.
Likewise, when the sun is to the south, a shadow will be cast toward the north and vice versa. A shadow can be cast in any of the four directions. However, at noon, when you stand at the very center, there is no shadow. You should have such relationships with your parents, spouse, children, and siblings.
Only then can God be positioned as the owner of the eight stages of love. If you are unable to establish a noon position, the amount of devotion you offer is not relevant.
Without establishing this noon position free of shadows, you cannot be with or go to God, who has no sliver of a shadow, because you are not in a perpendicular position. You should establish such a position in which you cast no shadow for all eternity. (333-155, 2000.09.26)
2. Noon settlement! For this, there should not be any shadow in the four-position foundation. If we can achieve such a state, God will descend and everyone will rejoice. No matter how vast the area is, everyone in it will be happy.
Thus, you should each become a mother or father, husband or wife, and son or daughter who can find a noon settlement. If you cast a shadow in any of those positions, you will bring all the misfortunes of heaven and earth to take root in your family. These are terrifying words.
This is the one formula and model to which we all have to conform. Everything exists in pairs, as part of a four-position foundation. For example, even when you see things with your eyes, you consciously grasp them only when they come into focus through your optic nerves.
This is the structure of a four-position foundation. The same can be said of your mouth and your hearing. You can hear sounds only when sound waves resonate through the three semicircular canals in your ears.
If there is a gap there that blocks the resonance, you will not hear what is being said. Thus, we need to uphold the life philosophy of noon settlement as we go forward. (333-106, 2000.09.25)
3. God's throne is currently in the middle of hell on earth, and it must rise like the sun. When it does, all creation will enter the era of noon settlement, where there is no shadow. The phrase “noon settlement” means there is no shadow for all eternity.
When you go to the spirit world, you will see the sun high up at the center of the sky all the time. You will not see any shadows. If a shadow were to appear, all the good spirits would immediately come and blow it away. It would vanish. In the same way, good spirits will come to the earth and punish this world of shadows.

4. When do your body and mind resonate? When you reach maturity centered on God's love, the mind naturally attunes itself to the wavelength of God's love. With the mind tuned to that wavelength, the body completely unites with God's love.
This can be likened to the union of particles with plus and minus electrical charges. If that were to happen, our body, mind, and ideals would be completely engrafted into God. But we lost the position where that can take place.
Hence, we need to discover the standard that enables the body and mind to engraft to God, centered on His love. If you skip that step, you cannot discover it in your family. You cannot bring the matter to the national level and discover it in the nation.
Then where should you look for it? You should look for it within yourself as an individual. That is why religion has sought the perfection of the individual. Yet people have been ignorant of the fact that you can be perfected only when you attain this realm of resonance. (141-113, 1986.02.19)
5. When a person is perfected as the Absolute Being's object partner, what kind of state will he or she have reached? The Absolute Being is the subject partner of love and perfect harmony.
Therefore, the condition that an object partner must satisfy in His presence is the perfect harmony and oneness of his or her own internal subject and object parts.
When a person achieves complete oneness of mind and body, by maturing his or her character centered on the Absolute Being, he or she can establish the foundation of absolute love.
At that time, he or she resonates in love with the Absolute Being. That is, when your mind and body harmonize completely, without the slightest conflict, a responsive realm of love comes to life and, like a tuning fork, automatically begins to resonate with the Absolute Being.
This is the minimum standard required of you, within the relative world, to connect with the absolute state. (102-058, 1978.11.25)
6. Where did human beings begin? We originated from love. Then what is our purpose? Since our beginning point was love, our purpose is to attain and connect to the endpoint of love.
Since we began in love, our purpose has surely been attained through love. To achieve that purpose, we need to create a framework of love with people all around us – front, back, left, right, to,p and bottom. Once you are completely fused at the core in love, you enter a realm of resonance.
This is because you will have completely harmonized your mind and body, your whole body, your five spiritual senses, and your five physical senses. When you attain this maturity of mind and body and enter this realm of resonance, you are like an original, unfallen human being, and you can embark on the path toward individual perfection. (137-210, 1986.01.03)
7. Once you enter a state of love, you will find that every being exists as the only, unique being.
When the Buddha said, "In heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one, " he was not speaking casually. In a state of unity between his mind and body, he was saying, "As it is now and was in the past, heaven and earth are in harmony.
Gazing into myself and at everything in motion, having entered the realm of resonance of true love, I can see that God resides within me, all things of creation are within me, and all things are my friends and brothers and sisters.
Since I am the subject partner, I am like their owner. Since I am the subject partner, in the entire cosmos, I alone am the honored one. (166-052, 1987.05.28)
8. If you enter the realm of resonance of true love, you will be able to see heaven and earth.
The Buddha said, "In heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one."
He said so because when he entered the core of that realm of resonance, he found the entire world in his hands, God residing within him, and heavenly law connected to him. That is why he could say this.
Once you enter the realm where true love resonates, you do not need faith. Since you live with God, you do not need a savior. You are free. Everything is finished. (201-166, 1990.03.30)
9. When a person reaches perfection, his or her spirit self and physical self are configured for the first time to resonate with the realm of the heart. In the human world, what is it that resonates with the spirit self and the physical self?
It is not knowledge. It is not an idea or joy. Furthermore, it is not the pleasure of satisfying worldly desires. Only love resonates with them. (172-085, 1988.01.09)
10. When you act with the power of love, you can be a partner of great power, connected to the essence that gave God the ability to create the universe. This is possible only with love. You cannot do this with knowledge; you cannot do it with money or authority. Have you ever tried to live that way?
How hard have you struggled to correct the misalignment between your mind and body, to perfect your character harmonizing with the realm that resonates with Heaven's love? To stop you from doing this, the nation is latching onto you and bending you to its angle; the world is latching onto you.
The issue is how you are going to sever all those ties, correct the angle,e and move forward to reach the original realm of the heart. Without getting to that place you will never be free. (178-115, 1988.06.01)
11. Love strives to bring the mind and body into perfect resonance so they can move forward together in oneness. Love does not go toward only one side. When the conscience and the physical mind move forward with a single purpose, love rushes along in the same direction, toward the same destination.
This means that love can be found in the realm of resonance that binds the mind and body together, the place that is oriented toward the absolute direction.
Therefore, to be happy, your physical mind and conscience must resonate with each other. If you do not attain that resonance, love does not emerge. Thus, we need to pay attention to whether the conscience and the physical mind stand within the eternal realm of resonance. (183-050, 1988.10.29)
