5. THE THOUGHT OF THE UNIFICATION CHURCH

1) The Source of Unification Thought

Unification thought does not take a vague position. Centered on God it goes forward assuming a vertical starting point. What is that vertical starting point? It is the site of heart. (51-70)

Our Unification Church thought is the thought of the four-position foundation. What is the prerequisite for that thought? It is God's heart. At the same time that it is the beginning, it is the process; and at the same time that it is the process, it is the conclusion. That conclusion cannot be a bad conclusion but must be a joyful conclusion. (50-24)

The Unification Church is teaching the history of heart, and the world of heart. The reason it is the history of heart is that the vertical world of heart is spreading out to the horizontal world of heart. You should know that this is the Unification thought.

Thought unification is the unification of what thought? Is it referring to the thought of the Unification Church? What does Rev. Moon of the Unification Church say about that? Thought unification refers to thought unification centered on heart. There's a footnote attached to that. It is thought unification centered on love. That's something different. Do you understand? So we say, "Hey, that's a great conclusion!" I'm not saying that to advertise the Unification Church; it's just true. Do you understand? Thought is thought, and unification is unification, but only the thought unification which is centered on the heart is a term in the Unification Church. Only thought unification centered on the heart of absolute love can build the Kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of peace. It can perfect the Kingdom of Heaven on earth which is the utopia for which humankind longs. (109-134)

Our Unification Church asserts Unification thought. This thought did not come from man. What is the main point of that thought? It is love. We are showing love. It is a love which goes beyond any one people. It is not for a movement to unify one's family centered on oneself. It is stressing a love of a higher level than any family on earth has ever loved. If this becomes possible, through it a new moral system centered on the family will be formed. A moral system which never existed in history will be formed. From the moral system united by strong love, the family relationship will expand horizontally. It will go beyond the family, tribe and nation. It will appear as an origin of heartistic, subjective love which will influence the world. It is sure that the whole world will recognize it. It is with that meaning that we put forth the world of heart. (60-266)

Today, we see that centered on the Unification Church a new concept of Unification Culture is developing. Where is the originating point of this thought tradition? It is God's Day. How hard did Heavenly Father work to find God's Day? How hard did He work to find me? We must communicate with His historical heart, His heart in the present age, and His future heart. In order to become filial sons and daughters who can relate without any lack to our Father who worked so hard, we must know our Father's heart and content, and we must comfort Him, and beyond that we must be able to take responsibility for all of it.

Accordingly, where will the ideological root of the Unification Church be in the future? It will be in God's Day, Parents' Day, Children's Day and the Day of All Things. For 6,000 years until now creation has lamented, and God's sons and daughters and the many ancestors of humankind moaned and worked for 6,000 years. (22-24)
