What would have happened if man did not have his portion of responsibility? Why was man given his portion of responsibility? You lecturers don't even know that? Why was the human portion of responsibility set? [In order to realize Father's will on the earth] It originally concerns the purpose of creation. Originally, why was man given a portion of responsibility? In order to have man participate in the great creative undertaking. What is next? [In order to have dominion over all things.] Then? [In order to qualify him as the governor of the creation by having him take after God's creativity] Next? [For the absoluteness and the completeness and flawlessness of the truth] It is these three contents.

You must participate in God's great creative undertaking. Even if there were no Fall initially, such responsibility would still exist. The human portion of responsibility was not established by the Fall, but even without the Fall man still has this responsibility. Even if one is equipped with God's 95% ideal form necessary to reach perfection, one must still complete the remaining 5% as his own responsibility. The perfection of man cannot be brought about by God alone, but man has the responsibility to make a contribution in perfecting himself. This is true even if there were no Fall.

Moreover, there is the absoluteness of the principle. The Principle does not know forgiveness. It must be obeyed. You must go the Principle way even after you are dead. It must be adhered to forever. If God would do as he pleased, then there would be no need for the path of suffering that He has been walking during the course of the providence for restoration. But because God set it up in this way, because there is a limit in the way that the responsibility has been apportioned, God is unable to escape this fact and thus has been going through the course of countless tribulations in order to restore man. Responsibility does not lie only in God. Man shares the responsibility. This is true even if there were no Fall. Isn't this so?

Looking at it from this perspective, what has fallen man become today? The human portion of responsibility is not the only thing that fallen man is accountable for. 97% of the creation has been infringed upon. This is the reason that re-creation must be brought about, yet what is re-creation? It is not something that can cross over the limit of the portion of responsibility. The entire course of creation has been devastated. So, how difficult it is. Therefore, without fulfilling his responsibility for the 95%, man has no way eternally to complete his portion of responsibility. It must be recreated. The providence for restoration is a work of re-creation, but why is re-creation absolutely necessary? It is because of the human portion of responsibility. Even just to fulfill the human portion of responsibility and proceed toward the position, the re-creation process must be passed through. In order to pass through the process of re-creation, indemnity must be paid. The condition for indemnification must be set. The path of suffering must be walked.

God has been dealing with the human world from the position that surpasses the domain of the human portion of responsibility. However, all those who fell below this must somehow bridge the gap and climb up. All of humanity and history are caught by that realm. All who went to the spirit world in the past, all of humanity in the present world, and all of the descendants who are to come cannot escape that realm. This is the dreadful realm of the Fall.

So, in the re-creation process how must it be done? The process of conflict must be passed through. With whom? With Satan. What is all this? In other words, who dominates over the domain that is necessary for the creative process? It is Satan. Satan dominates over 95% of the domain, and after 95% God dominates over it. This is how it should be seen. (115-66)

In the portion of responsibility, there is the domain of individual's portion of responsibility, the domains of the family's level portion of responsibility, of the tribe's, of the people's, of the nations', of the world's of the cosmos's portion of responsibility, and the domain of the heaven-and-earth-level portion of responsibility. Why? Isn't it a fallen world? Because it is fallen world, there is no door. The door will not come into being without the domain of love centering on the portion of responsibility. The individual will oppose it, and family and tribe will also oppose this. (162-92)

What will be accomplished after the completion of the human portion of responsibility? What this means is that with the completion of the human portion of responsibility, man enters the realm of God's direct dominion. (speaks while writing on the board) You have to understand this. This is how the Principle is, right? [Yes]

Once you enter the realm of direct dominion, what does God center on to exercise the direct dominion? Centering on money? Centering on one's outstanding talent? Centering on what would He govern? [Love] That's correct. It is love. At that moment, Adam and Eve will receive God's Blessing and enter the realm of God's love. You have to understand that the time when Adam and Even can go into the realm of love and after having become one in that realm of love practice and manifest the love of God in the horizontal world is the foundation of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. (124-306)

Satan cannot appear anymore when there is centering on the love of God; the complete love of God can be manifested. This is the completion of the portion of responsibility. If the portion of responsibility is completed, the connection of love can link the realm of indirect dominion and the realm of direct dominion. There the vertical love and horizontal love are connected together. (173-286)

You have to understand that the Unification Church's discovery of the human portion of responsibility today is a universal discovery. The invention of the nuclear bomb, or Einstein's discovery of the theory of relativity cannot even compare with it. The question is why righteous people in history have been sacrificed? Only after their time has passed by do they become famous. There is no way that even historians or philosophers can solve this kind of problem. (124-303)

All the contradictions and all the sorrowful and unfortunate events in history were caused by man's ignorance of his portion of responsibility. You have to understand this fact. You have to understand how important portion of responsibility is. You have been interpreting the meaning of the portion of responsibility in the way you see fit. You have been thinking, "The portion of responsibility is a concept that the Principle teaches, so it has nothing to do with us. We can live our life in the world in any way that we like."

Seeing from this perspective, you have to understand how great Rev. Moon's discovery of the word "portion of responsibility" is. Have you understood how important the portion of responsibility is? How seriously have you tried to understand it? Around this issue of the portion of responsibility, the whole universe revolves. God cannot be liberated, the universe also cannot be liberated, and the door to hell cannot be opened freely, and all the unrighteous and contradictory things plague society could not be crossed over because of this wall of portion of responsibility. (124-94)

Do you now understand what the portion of responsibility is? [Yes] How many times a day have you thought about the portion of responsibility? You are to memorize the words "portion of responsibility" whenever you are having a meal, picking up a spoon, washing dishes, going to the bathroom, or even as you are walking. Adam and Eve met their doom because they did not think about their portion of responsibility. You will also perish if you do not fulfill your portion of responsibility. In order to become a victorious person through restoration, you must take to heart and think about the portion of responsibility twenty-four hours a day. (124-103)
