2. THE MAIN POINT OF THE UNIFICATION CHURCH DOCTRINE

What is the main point of the Unification Church doctrine? It is attending God as our Parent, having God as the basic Parent of humankind, and finding him as the source of heart. Next, what do we want to do? We want to find our ancestors. Here we see the concluding point. This is what the Unification Church is hoping. Because we have fallen parents, because we were born as the descendants of false parents, we must reject this actual historical situation, a worldwide situation. With the prayer of love centered on God we must search for the True Parents of humanity who are in the object position for receiving the love of the one God. That is the final goal which the Unification Church must head for. Isn't this what the heartistic life of the Unification Church members is seeking?

When seen from that viewpoint, the Unification Church members are not referring to matters of heart centered on humanity on the earth today. Rather because we are referring to the heartistic history initiated by Heaven, which began with our ancestors, you must realize that we are seeking the world of heart. We are to make a relationship with God's heart. We are to realize the world of heart. It is on a different level. It is different from existing level. It is a revolutionary level, a higher level. In establishing a relationship there is not a flat emotion; it is the beginning of a content with a solid, three-dimensional emotion. (61-25)

Then, what is the main work that Rev. Moon is doing? What is the main thing that Rev. Moon is asking you to do? This is the problem. What on earth is Rev. Moon asking you to do? What on earth is the Unification Church doing? And having done that, what does it do? Does it matter? Does the Unification Church matter? We need to know precisely whether it matters or not. First, what are we trying to do? [Trying to realize God's heart]

The Unification Church teaches the Divine Principle. What is that Principle? That Principle is the original truth. The true Principle we are talking about is not about science. It is about the world of humankind. We must understand that what we are talking about is centered on God's providence.

What is "divine"? Divine refers to God. It's talking about God, a Godly providence, a providential Principle. It's a providential original truth. We are teaching that path, a providential Principle. We must understand that. Then what's a providential Principle? First, there is the original God, then original man, then the original archangel. Then there are all the original things of creation. This is how it is. The original God, original man and the original what? [Archangel] and the original what? [All things of creation] That is it. These original beings must all relate. There must not be anything which does not relate. Everything must relate.

As they act together, owing to love they realize the realm of unification where they can be in harmony yearning for the ideal subject and object and the love of God. God, too, can think about that kind of original ideal. What is that ideal? It is not just relating with one other. Everything must unite. Do you understand what that means? Then in the ideal everything can relate this way and that way. It's okay for your eyes to relate; it's okay for your nose to relate; it's okay for your mind to relate. Everything can relate everywhere. This is the ideal.

If God desires something, then humankind wants it too; the angels want it too; and the things of creation want it too. The levels of the content differ, but it is so. In the Unification Church what is first? [The original God] Then what is next? [People] What are original humankind? They are the True Parents. What's next? [Angels] And next? [The things of creation] Everything is included there. We are talking about meeting God, meeting the angels, meeting all the things of creation at the point before Adam fell. If they all become one, we can do anything we want. We only have to cast out Satan. (117-117)

But today none of the people of the world know about the providence for salvation or providence for restoration. Among them are many religious orders which worship Heaven and are called religions; but the religious orders themselves do not know about the providence for restoration. They don't know that restoration is being carried out and they don't know that the providence for restoration is being carried out according to the Principle of Re-creation.

Today the Unification Church has appeared, and it has made the historic proclamation that because the providence for restoration is the work of re-creation, it is carried out according to the original Principle of Creation, and furthermore, that upon close examination the religious providential history can be seen to be the providence for restoration.

Then where are we returning to? We are returning to the original hometown. We have gone out wandering. Fallen humankind lost the original hometown and the whole world is at the peak of its wandering. If these people do not prepare the road, prepare their ranks and grope to find the way of fortune that they must return on, they will not be able to return. In that sense the Unification Church is proclaiming to the people of the world the new way for returning which people must find. That means that they must find the direction of restoration.

You should know that what the Unification Church movement is proclaiming is an explanation of the principles showing where the peaks and mountains are, and which bridge to take to cross the rivers and the valleys in order to return to the original hometown straight without any accident. When we consider the word "return", we see that the providence for salvation is the providence for restoration. Because the history of restoration came about because of the fall, fallen history is a history of denying God. It is a history of humankind denying the original ideal. Our human ancestors who fell, Adam and Eve, became parents of denial. That is to say they did not become the parents that God desired; they became the parents the devil desired. (144-101)
