Communism and democracy are confronting each other centering on their truths, that is, their doctrines. Yet, from now on, a cosmic ideology, transcending national boundaries should appear. Still, its purpose is not the ideology itself. In the Last Days on the worldwide level, the democratic world and Communist world will be entirely invaded. Therefore, an ideology that can absorb both democracy and Communism should appear. That is, there should be an ideology that can connect the whole centered on the individual. As the Last Days approach, what is it that we need? God's character, heart, and value. That is, the question is hope, situation, and heart. Today, all ideologies that are prevalent and gaining power in the world are related to God. (16-273) With what did the Unification Church appear? In short, the goal of Unification Thought is to terminate a tragic human history and to start a new, hopeful history for all humankind. It is equipped with a content that can reach that goal. Unification Thought is an ideology which strives to connect the spirit world and the physical, phenomenal world into one. Further, even if the entire world comes into this ideology of Unification Thought, since only a portion of it will be filled, we can say that the greatness and vastness of the Unification Thought is beyond the limits of human imagination. We should understand that the ideology is a thought that can connect not only the world but also the entire universe, spirit world, and even God as one. (10/21/86) When we walk with a greater thought, a greater will, the standard that is lower than that will be included. For this reason, humans should hold a high thought. From this viewpoint, has there been throughout human history any thought that is greater than Unification Thought? In this sense, we can say that Unification Thought is the greatest of all thoughts. (49-51) Who is God? He is the subject of heaven and earth. Since He has the highest ideal, He can also become the standard of our purpose and motivation. For this reason, the motivation and purpose of our existence is God. Then, where can we find that motivation and purpose? That motivation is a family centered on God's will, and that family is to realize that purpose on the worldwide level. This is Unification Thought. This is the supreme standard that you young people should understand as the thought that can bring all the world to one point. The cosmic ideology is a thought with a content that no other thoughts that have existed throughout all human history can ever reach. This is a new thought that can exceed any other world thought, and its distinctive nature lies in the character, "joo" which signifies "house" from "chun joo" (cosmic) ideology. (25-83) The ideology of the Unification Church is "chun joo" ideology. Of course, this is an ideology that strives to bring heaven and earth into one, but "joo" from "chun joo" signifies a "house." In other words, it is an ideology of a family. Man is heaven, and woman is earth. If they are united into one, heaven and earth are united into one. Right? What does that mean? It means that centering on heart, , more important than tribe, people, nation and world the family must be like a steel castle. The question is not a tribe, nor people, nor race. If man and woman can be united, the world can be one. (37-77) What is "chun" from "chun joo" ideology? It shows an ideology in which a person's mind and body become one with God both internally and externally. In this case, mind symbolizes heaven, and body, earth. Originally, in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, as individuals, should have had mind and body unity, and then they should have become one centered on God. By so doing, they would have built a God-centered family. God would have dwelt in their family. Then, they would have become the root of hope for all humanity. But this original plan was shattered. As a result, while humans have been struggling in ignorance, God has been leading His providence for salvation toward the Last Days. Unification Thought teaches the standard of original life to humanity living in this era. For this reason, you are gathered here. (20-309) The ideology that we are promoting is neither Communism, nor democracy. It is an ideology that is more important than those, namely, the cosmic ideology. This ideology has the standard of the final hope and the final ideology that Adam and Eve needed to attain in the Garden of Eden. Through this ideology, both God and humans can be united as one. That is, God and you can be one. Only when this is fulfilled, can all the problems of the world be resolved. (20-310) The question is how we can reach the position of a true person. Suppose that, with such an ability, we overcame all social vice and problems, and were able to achieve happiness in the position of subject in which we can erect the standard of good. It will bring worldwide attention. Truly, this will become a historic event in the world. In this sense, the path that we shall be walking will draw attention from the world even after we enter the latter part of the 21st century. If not, I will make it so. This is the thought of this ideology. (21-18)
