Adam fell because his thinking was centered on himself. Abraham, too, was ruined while dreaming of his own blessings, and the people of Israel were ruined while they were dreaming of their own people's blessings. Today in this world, Christianity is dreaming centered only on itself and it is falling into ruin. We must create a new culture which can walk on the earth, take its stand, and on that foundation find prosperity. For that we must make a volcanic crater which can begin this work. This is what the Unification Church is heading for. The time when the world can unite will come. That time is the Last Days. (16-169)

The Unification Church must fulfill the mission of being a bridge connecting the Eastern and Western culture spheres. The Unification Church has sufficient content to do that. To prepare for that time, which will absolutely come, we must prepare our subjective nature. We must prepare a kind of parent body which can spread out to the nations and the world. This is the reason we must strengthen the system of our activities. (27-200)

What is the Unification Church? We place matter below the spirit. Although the West and the East are different, they should become one. They are opposites. How can they become one? They have been divided; how can they become one? Well then, should the East, which has represented the spiritual side, go and carry the West on its back, or should the West, which has represented the external things, go to the East and carry it on its back? Which should it be? [The West has to go to the East and carry it on its back.]

Why should it be that way? The mind is the center. Centered on the mind, the body must follow the mind. The body must unite with the mind. The mind is the center; it would be destructive for the center to go and carry the body on its back. The center stays still, and the body comes and becomes one with it, and centered on the center must revolve around it. Is that right? [Yes.] Am I saying this because I'm from the East and want to subjugate the West, or am I saying it because it stands to reason? [It stands to reason.] (147-90)

Then ultimately, owing to what does a civilization bear fruit? It is through religion that it bears fruit. It is not owing to politics. It is not owing to economics or anything else that it bears fruit. Because culture definitely develops on the foundation of religious thought, it is owing to religion that it must bear fruit. (78-312)

Only after the Unification Church digests the four great culture spheres can it come into the center. That is what the Unification Church means by the center culture civilization, the center culture civilization which Rev. Moon is asserting. The center culture civilization is the central civilization. It matches the degrees of the four directions and it means the realm which has the subjective ability to control the four directions from the subject position. Do you understand what this means? [Yes.] The conclusion can be made. What's the method of heaven? [Being struck and then taking things.] It's taking things. (113-143)
