If history has been a process of history heading towards one center, it is acceptable; but if that is not so, history should be broken up and cast away. If you are in such a process it is fortunate; but if not, it is reason for despair. Our conscience orders us to find one center to lead it. It is pushing us. Then if you find a center to lead it, will it be at an acceptable level where it can lead in the way you want it to? The goal must be God.

The conscience is heading towards one goal, but because the body is going in the opposite direction the difference is felt as pain. If there is a purpose for heaven and earth, who is the lord of that purpose? You should know that the lord of that purpose is pulling you along. Then who is the lord of that purpose? There must be one place where the consciences of all humankind can reside. That center must be a being on a higher level than humankind. The center of that purpose does not accept evil. If it is not good, it cannot lead. If it is not good it cannot become one. You who are heading towards the goal, are you good or are you evil? What percent of you is good and what percent evil? We are intermediate beings who are fighting between good and evil.

Now, in the world of humankind, is there a person who qualifies as good? No, there is none. Therefore all humankind must be led. Giving up everything you have and wanting to go together with another person is goodness, and keeping everything you have and wanting to go alone is evil. Our spirits want and like goodness, but our bodies dislike it. As we head along the way to goodness, our greatest enemy is the body. If there is a creator of goodness, he should struggle for the salvation of humankind. Also, he must be a being who works in addition to humankind's conscience. Only then does he qualify as the creator. The traces of power coming into history adding to humankind's conscience remain, and that is religion.

Religion! The historical traces that the God of goodness worked His providence by moving the consciences of weak humankind are religion. Therefore, although history changed, and the world was transformed, the basic center of goodness did not change. If we look at the developing history of the civilized world, we can see that the creator of goodness exists. Since the beginning of history there have been many culture spheres centered on religions. According to the flow of history they were developing towards one goal. Now there are the Christian sphere, the Muslim sphere, the Hindu sphere and the Buddhist sphere, and these all are in the process of uniting centered on the Christian sphere. This fact cannot be denied. (12-103)
