Life in the Spirit World

1. Just as God the Creator made all sorts of things based on His concept of true love, in the spirit world we too can create anything by exerting our original power based on love. Based on love, when you desire this or that, it will appear in its finished form.

If you say, “Let such and such a tool appear!” it will be created at once. How wonderful is that? And when you have tens of thousands or millions of people present at a banquet hall, and you wishfully think, “I will prepare such and such kinds of food,” the meal will appear easily.

If you wish even for a suit of gold, one will appear instantly. (217-293, 1991.06.02)

2. Because the spirit world transcends time and space, you can travel billions of miles in a second. That vast world exists beyond time and space. You can look back a thousand or even tens of thousands of years.

What would you wish to see? Whom would you wish to meet? If you are a man, you would want to meet your wife, and if you are a woman, you would wish to meet your husband. (209-017, 1990.11.24)

Life in which thoughts become reality

3. In the spirit world, when you think, “I want to do such and such a thing,” it becomes a reality. That is why in the next world, whenever you wish for something with an earnest heart of love, it is made possible.

It is a place where if you desire to make ten million beautiful outfits and dress your loved ones in them all at once, you can do that. If you like to dress your beloved in clothes woven of gold thread that clothing will appear just as you imagined it. It will appear right before your eyes. And when you think, “I want to wear the same thing!” you will already be wearing the same clothes.

Then all spirits in the heavenly world will dance to the one-two-three, one-two-three rhythm of a waltz, and a banquet will be held in heaven. This spirit world of glory is where the people with the greatest love can go. It is a wonderful world. All created things become our objects of harmony in that glorious place.
(215-109, 1991.02.06)

4. Everything sustains its life through cyclical movement. That which no longer circulates returns to the earth. What kind of being is God? God is like the mind of the existing universe. Now, you know who God is, do you not? He is the mind of the universe. Can you see your mind?

The spirit world is a world of life where the mind manifests as form. It is a place that transcends time and space. In the spirit world, you can freely eat whatever you want. There is no need to worry about food or water. There is no need to worry about what to drink or what to wear.

It transcends everything, be it food, clothing, or shelter. Would you need a car there? Would there be car factories, food factories, or clothing factories? There would be no such things.

In the spirit world, you can go back and forth covering billions of miles instantly. You can do so with the power of love. If you wish to see someone you love, that person will appear immediately before you. (210-226, 1990.12.23)

5. How is life in the next world? You will not worry about what to eat. You will not worry about where to live. You will not worry about what to wear. This is because, according to your spiritual state, everything you wish for will become possible. We will eat in the next world too.

We will also be able to feel the flow of our blood and the beat of our pulse. It is the same. Though we will have spirit bodies, they will work the same way. When I say I want to eat something, it will appear at once.

Whatever you want to eat, when you say you want such and such a thing, it will appear right away. Where do these things come from?

The spirit world is the world where we will be able to mobilize the original world, the world where we can work actively on our initiative. It is thus not power, knowledge, or money that gives us the authority to mobilize anything. It is love. (194-042, 1989.10.15)

6. In the spirit world, food, clothing, and shelter are not a problem. You can do as you like about them all. When you stand in the realm of the oneness of love in the position of God's object partner, you can do the things that God does. You can do anything.

You can transcend billions of years instantly. Love moves at an extraordinary speed. When you visit the place where your loved one is, it will take no time at all. You can come and go quickly, so you can instantly meet your object partner of love.

There are no obstacles in this absolute realm. It is a world that goes beyond limitations and transcends time and space. Such an infinite world has been prepared for humanity. (259-058, 1994.03.27)

7. What will you do in the spirit world? Will you try to earn money there? Will you need clothes and a house? Everything you want will be instantly provided. The spirit world is a place in which you can resolve everything at your level.

If you desire something and order it to appear, it will appear right away. However, if you ask for something just for yourself, it will not appear even if you cause a huge commotion and uproar.

Conversely, if you speak from the position of the heavenly prince who loves God and loves the world and says, “I need it to attend the King,” everything will appear instantly. The spirit world is a world in which anything imaginable is possible. (129-101, 1983.10.01)

8. Would Adam and Eve have paid for the food they ate in the Garden of Eden? It was all free. Because God, who created the environment and everything in it, bestowed infinite value upon human beings, when we go to the spirit world we are naturally provided with things of infinite value.

The spirit world where God dwells is our original homeland. We do not pay for the food we eat there. We will be provided with everything, beyond our imagination. (263-079, 1994.08.21)

9. You have no idea how immense the spirit world is. It is an infinite world that transcends time and space. If you call out, “Whoever lived on earth with such and such a heart at such and such a time before coming here, show yourself!” that person will appear in the twinkling of an eye. It is a world in which intuitive feelings become real.

If you say that you wish to host a banquet for a million people at once, it will not be a problem. Food and fruit will not pose a problem. They will appear instantaneously according to your wishes. There are no kitchens there. You do not need to worry about anything in that place.

There are no food-processing plants or car factories. There are all kinds of flowers. You can create your own house in any way you like, corresponding to the level of your heart of love. (224-106, 1991.11.23)

10. Nothing can stop our activity in the spirit world. Everything is connected. That world transcends time and space, so people who lived eons ago can be with you. Everyone can appear young; they can appear any age they like.

You can meet anyone freely as you wish, so explanations and excuses will not be necessary. You will know everything at a glance. You will know right away whether someone is ranked below, besides, or above you in love.

When you meet men who were grandfathers in past ages, you will know their rank of love right away. Those rankings are absolute. Highly ranked people naturally stand in a place that matches their rank; they do not act carelessly. It is different from the physical world. (194-133, 1989.10.17)

Your earthly life determines your place in the spirit world

11. When you go to the spirit world you will find that your life has been recorded one hundred percent in a spirit world “computer.” Everything that has been recorded will be revealed.

The conscience is like a computer's hard drive, the contents of which will be exhibited in the eternal world. Everything is contained in it. With the click of a button, all the recorded details of your life, starting from when you were a baby being held and breastfed by your mother, will be known through the images of your mind.

Every day, that computer is recording your life to carry out a complete appraisal of your being. The day this appraisal happens is the day you die. No one can tell a lie in the presence of that all-powerful computer that appraises people.

The images in the spirit world appear as a world of shadows. Everything is recorded. (246-189, 1993.04.16)

12. You cannot deceive your conscience. It records everything about you as if on a videotape. The detailed record of your life is assigned a number and stored in the spirit world. Someone will receive you and guide you when you go to the spirit world according to the brightness of your spirit.

After you are ushered in, your number will be pressed and everything will be shown right away. Everything from the time of your birth to that moment will be revealed instantly.

It cannot be helped. Your conscience will weep bitterly. The ratio of your good versus evil thoughts, words, and deeds will determine whether you end up on this or that side of the boundary between heaven and hell.

The spirit world does not move at random. It is a mathematical world. It moves according to logic. God is the King of scientists. Heaven is not operating arbitrarily. (284-024, 1997.04.15)

13. Whether human beings like it or not, as fallen descendants of Adam and Eve we each have to surmount the steep pass of indemnity even risking death. No one can avoid this. You must traverse this path. If you go to the spirit world without going through this in your lifetime, there is no way to know how many millions of years it will take you in the spirit world.

There is no indemnity in the spirit world. Since it is a liberated realm of perfection, it is filled with the waves of love. There is no indemnity or re-creation. There is no reproduction either. Since there are no such opportunities, once you are fixed in a position, that is the end of it.

Knowing these things, God sent the Messiah to the earth. There remains the path of indemnity through the eight stages of the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, cosmos, and God. You cannot, however, go through that path all at once.

That is why God has led history through the era of indemnity on the individual level, the era of indemnity on the family level, and then, passing through the four-thousand-year history of Israel, all the way to the era of indemnity on the world level of the Christian cultural realm. (229-245, 1992.04.12)

14. In the spirit world love comes first. Our foremost wish is to go before God, the subject of love. Since I know this, even though I have had to go all my life bearing the cross and shedding blood and sweat, I never worry. I know very well where I will end up.

My only concern is that the spirit world is such that once you go you can never come back here. Once you have gone there, you cannot return. In that world, if you come to know things about cleaning your spirit and then try to resolve your issues, it will take billions of years. In that place, there is no way to clean up such things.

In this physical world, however, there are many difficulties and ups and downs, aren't there? Even in one day, you encounter various troubles, and the more troubles you meet, the more skin you can shed, like a snake.

On the other hand, in the next world, the spirit world, though there is the stimulus of love, there is no indemnity that can rid you of your sins, so it takes countless eons to do that. (243-179, 1993.01.03)

15. Losing God is like losing the great supervisor of the entire universe and losing our father. That Father is not the one we call father only during the short period of a hundred years or so that we live in the flesh. He is the Father we will call Father eternally and endlessly.

For all eternity, when He rejoices, we should rejoice with Him, and when He grieves, we should grieve with Him. This is determined on the earth. That is why the people who have lived their lives on earth in a place where God can rejoice and have upheld and followed the way of principle, the way of faith, can go to the kingdom of heaven, and the people who have lived in a place where God grieves go to hell. We, however, are living in a place where God grieves. These circumstances were brought about through the Fall. (9-136, 1960.05.01)

16. People do not give birth to babies in the spirit world. It is a vertical world. It is a spherical world with God at the center. There is no need to give birth to babies there. Because God needed a horizontal foundation, He created physical human beings. The physical world is a field of reproduction.

All citizens of the spirit world will come from this planet. Then why are people on Earth practicing birth control at present? This is by Heaven's decree that the wrong lineage not be multiplied further. What about the blessed families of the Unification Church?

For you, the question of how many citizens of heaven you can multiply determines your wealth. Your children are more valuable than spiritual children. Spiritual children are not related to your Blessing. Your position in heaven will be determined by how many children you leave behind. (205-099, 1990.07.07)

17. When your heart stops, it is said you have died. The heart of a spirit self, however, never stops. The root of that heart is God. Because we have received the root of God, as a person resembling God we harvest the fruit of the heart when we enter the spirit world.

Then what will it be like when you go to the spirit world? The spirit world is the same as the physical world. Your spirit self is a better and more divine version of yourself. Its senses are more multidimensional than your five sensory organs.

On earth, we can feel the pulse of life through the horizontal or vertical elements or the relationships of up and down and front and back, but in the spirit world that pulse of life will be cosmic. It will be that much greater. (306-261, 1998.10.01)

18. What is the center of all value of life in the spirit world? Among those living in the spirit world, each individual belongs to a certain society. Just like on earth, the spirit world also has families, tribes, and nations and is connected to the world.

The spirit world is the place where everyone now living on earth, whether they like it or not, will one day reside. From uncivilized to civilized, all sorts of people who came and went throughout history congregate there.

However, people who live on Earth cannot suddenly change their nature in the spirit world. There is a saying, “What is learned in the cradle is carried to the grave.” It is difficult to correct your personality problems. So, would the spirits in the other world be noticeably different from people today?

Would they suddenly change? That is not possible. You are harvested in the same form in which you lived here on earth. All the spirits in the spirit world are, after all, just the spirit selves of those who lived on earth.

In this regard, the spirit world is not very different from the world people live in today. (141-268, 1986.03.02)

The life where husband and wife live as one in flesh and spirit

19. If a couple is truly one in heart when they go to the spirit world, the man can become the woman and the woman can become Taman at any time. If you look into a woman, there is something of a man inside, and when you look into a man, there is something of a woman inside.

It is very much the same as God's dual characteristics. Since internal character and external form became divided, to return to the original being, they must ascend the ladder of love. As the standard of creation originated from love, one must ascend this ladder to return. In the end, our final destination is to be with God.
(205-099, 1990.07.07)

20. Mothers and fathers also go to the world of death. I must go there too. For a being created through the organ of love, violating that organ leads straight to death. There is no way to forgive that.

We should firmly implant this principle in ourselves. Based on that love, God harmonizes with human beings, and human beings become one with Him through love. In other words, they become God-like.

When the divided dual characteristics of God are completely united through love, you will see when you go to the spirit world that two people are joined as one. At first glance, you will see that someone is certainly a man – but inside resides a woman harmonizing with him.

Everything is united when seen through the eyes of love. Even those who are superficially ugly look beautiful, and of course, those who are beautiful also look beautiful. (205-342, 1990.10.02)

21. When you go to the heavenly kingdom, you must go through a wedding ceremony. Dressed in ceremonial garments, you enter, stand before God, and greet Him with love. Husband and wife have a love relationship in front of God. When they make love, God Himself rejoices.

At the same time, He envelops them from the vertical position. Not only the feelings of the horizontal couple but those of the entire universe flow and intoxicate them. They thus enter an unimaginable world that is like a kaleidoscope.

When they love, something amazing happens: two invisible streams of energy come together and unite completely as one and are assimilated in the world of light. This way of life is brought about with true love. (306-218, 1998.09.23)

22. When you go to the spirit world, you will see that there is not only the Heavenly Father but the Heavenly Mother. Can a living being come to exist without both a mother and father?

Just like that mother and father, behind Adam and Eve, you can find God, who has been divided and then united. That is why the way to heaven comes through the mother as well as the father. If this ideal had come to pass, who would have been the central figure in the spirit world, the kingdom of heaven in heaven?

When your mother and father, who lived here in substantial form, went to the next world, they would have become the king and queen of the eternal kingdom of heaven. (90-196, 1977.01.01)

The coexistence of good and evil spirits

23. The spirit world can be divided into two: the good spirit world and the evil spirit world. Spirit world exists, even though people living on Earth do not know it. Even in the spirit world, good and evil spirits are fighting each other.

There are battles even in the spirit world. Evil spirits are connected to Satan, and people living on Earth today are living in the realm of their rule. Why is that? Regardless of whether they were good or evil, all our ancestors passed away to the spirit world.

Good spirits stand on the good side only because they have set the condition while living on the earth of having separated themselves from the fallen world. But from God's standpoint, they cannot stand in the position of perfect goodness.

On the way toward God's original ideal world – an ideal realm of goodness to which original humankind can go – good spirits are trying to advance, and evil spirits are blocking the way.

The evil spirit world and the evil earthly world are connected at all times. They are in constant communication. Good spirits are those who on earth were confronted by the evil world and who faced opposition in their lives but surmounted it before passing on. They are the spirits who passed away as religious believers.
(134-009, 1985.01.01)

24. Since all kinds of people are gathered in the spirit world, including those who killed and those who were killed, sometimes such things as knife fights and vendettas break out there. This is why there are so many divisions and barriers blocking the way to the ideal.

Evil spirits sometimes go to their enemies' descendants on earth and cause them to have fatal accidents. All such resentment must be resolved. For this to happen, they must first be resolved on earth.

To do so, you need to provide a better option. Unless you give such spirits a better way than that which brought about the enmity – something nobler than killing in retaliation – they cannot be appeased. (191-205, 1989.06.24)

25. The spirit world is the storehouse where our numerous ancestors from throughout history reside. It is where the countless people on earth today and the myriads to come in the future will all go and live. In the spirit world, there are good and evil realms.

If everyone died and went into oblivion, then that would be the end of the story. However, if the spirit world gathers all humankind with at least some ability to relate with God, then the spirit world is inevitably divided into two parts: that of goodness and that of evil.

The question arises as to what the evil part is and what the good part is. God would wish for good and evil to harmonize in both the spirit world and the human world. Therefore, He will pursue the way for both sides to reach the fulfillment of their purposes, and at the same time fulfill the purpose of the whole.
(126-083, 1983.04.12)

26. If the fruit of love had been harvested and stored in God's warehouse, heaven would have been secured. We would have become the family, nation, and citizens of heaven. But instead, this fruit went bad midway and fell to the ground. Thus, we became the family and citizens of hell.

This tragedy is called the Fall. In other words, we fell. We have to acknowledge the fact that the place we are living in is the hell we have fallen into; this cannot be logically denied.

Even if we hate to do so, we need to acknowledge these two facts: that we have fallen and that we are living in hell. We were supposed to bear the fruit of love and go to the storehouse of the kingdom of heaven, but instead, we are rotting in the warehouse of hell because of the Fall. (282-016, 1997.02.16)
