-The Parent-child Relationship 1. The Root of the universe is the Relationship of PARENT and CHILD What is the center and the foundation of the universe? A son reached the realm of mystery and prayed to God and asked this question. He answered, it is the relationship between a father and his children, in other words the parent-child relationship. People who do not understand might think we are talking about relationship of our fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, but we mean the relationship of God and man. (19-160) So I have, within my prayers, reached the deep realm and struggled and fought to find out the secret of the universe, the root of the mystery of the universe. What is the foundation of the universe? It is simple. The answer turns out to be the parent-child relationship. So what is the parent-child relationship? We cannot explain it leaving love out. What are we talking about? We cannot explain the parent-child relationship without talking about love. Ordinary people would think it is simply about the parent-child among humans, but since I knew it was about God and man I have found the answer and the theory. (144-250) When you enter the land of the deep and pray, man is the center of the creation; but what is the center of the universe. You will find that the answer is the parent-child relationship. What is the center of the universe? In one word, the parent-child relationship. But ordinary people think it is about their own parents. They think it is about their own father and mother, centering on moral principles. It is wrong. When we look at it from a solid point of view, the conclusion is that the place where God and man becomes one centering on the deep heart of the parent-child relationship is the center of the universe. (48-209) What is the root of the universe? Parents and children. Parents and I, the parent-child relationship, is the foundation of the universe. God is the father and I am the son. Sons and daughters. The last foundation is the parent-child relationship, and the last goal is the same. That is why we must find it. I have overcome even the way of suffering in order to find it. Even when put to Satan's test, the parent-child relationship can win over it in seconds. Even when we enter the satanic world and sleep there, we must not forget the parent-child relationship. So you must understand the fact that since we lost this relationship we are resentful and furious. (12-258) You do not know the spirit world, but you must go into the mysterious realm and say to God, "What is the truth of the universe? If you have created man to destroy them, you are a cruel and evil God." When you ask him seriously, the answer will be different. When you ask what is the basic point of the great Principle, the truth of the universe is, it is the parent-child relationship. That relationship is not about your parents who gave birth to you in the fallen world. When the horizontal love of husband and wife becomes absolutely one with God's ideal love and flourishes, and when heaven and earth shakes with the fragrance of that love and adds God's love, the position of sons and daughters are completed. Sons and daughters can sing of happiness, and sing of a love which can praise the hope and everything else of sons and daughters. It will not end there, but a three-dimensional love will be added to a precious gift of love you own, and the whole universe will swell up. You know balloons? As when you blow up a flat balloon it will grow big, so in the same way the universe swells up, and even if all things go in it, it will become a universe that all people can be happy with. A power of love emerges that can satisfy all things. When you think about it, doesn't it feel good? (101-34)
