1) The Attitude for Bodily Restoration

Don't ever follow the body, and don't ever go to an evil place. Human feelings and human norms easily lead to Satan and evil, so we should deny them. You have to go to a repair shop. There you should be quickly disassembled. In this process, you should deny all the thoughts, power, concepts, and position you had before. You have no choice, although it makes you unhappy. Without this, you cannot be repaired. You will be told to stifle the body, to sacrifice, to be humble, and to suppress arrogance. You will be asked to give up your appetites, your sexual desire, and material greed. You should follow the path of fasting and tribulation.

We should pray hard and work hard for the sake of God's Will. If we make all effort with one heart, then the power of the mind will come to us as a matter of course. Today, people talk about self-cultivation and morality, yet this is not enough. Religion helps us be victorious over our physical desires. Therefore, my motto for the whole of my spiritual life is, "Gain domination over the self before you desire to dominate the universe." How difficult this is! (38-271, 39-355, 70-68, 23-166, 52-305, 39-285, 10-66, 52-305, 101-37)

2) The Method for Dominating the Body

Now, how can we conquer this body? What is the method for making it unite with the mind? Simply speaking, there are only two ways. What is the first method? The first method is to conquer the body by force through dismantling its power, and so, cutting off its desires and feelings.

This is why fasting and prayer is recommended. When you fast and pray, the body loses vitality. Then the mind is glad because it can dominate the body. Also, you shooed sacrifice and serve, which is to die to yourself. These are all actions the body dislikes. Thus, true religion starts with denying all relationship with the body. This is the conclusion. Do you understand? Everyone, look at the Scriptures of all religions. Do any of them tell us to eat and live comfortably? None of them do that. Religion tells us to wish blessing upon others even at the point of death. This is impossible following the body. So such things are ways of forcefully bringing down and capturing the body.

What is the second method of dominating the body? The mind and body fight because they are similar in strength, therefore the second method is to reinforce the mind. Do you understand it? You should give strength to the mind. There are only these two methods. Thus, you have to make all kinds of spiritual conditions. Spiritual conditions will open the gate of your mind. When it is open, a strong power comes out and overpowers the body. You don't know this yet. When the mind power becomes three times as strong as that of the body, then dominating the body becomes no problem. The body can even be left alone because it is unable to cause trouble. So you should compress power into the mind and lead the body. This is why you should make spiritual conditions.

You must have heard about being spiritually open. When this happens, great power is produced from the mind. So far, the mind has been beaten by the body because it was weak. However, what if we inject strength to the mind and increase its power twice or three times? Then it can easily take the lead over the body. It can drag it along. Just as car tires swell up with air, what will happen if the mind receives power? It will become strong, right? Then you will be so much with the mind that just thinking about what body wants to do will offend you. A spiritually open man receives great power in his mind, and his body follows his mind almost effortlessly.

The source of the mind's power is love, so if the explosive power of the mind is connected to God, then one can unify huge areas; one can achieve the deepest wishes of humankind and possess the Kingdom of Heaven, to live with God eternally. The secret is love. Love is an elevator and the absolute key to unification.

The power of love should be restored to the mind. Therefore, when you are religious, you experience joy. Crazy people laugh by themselves, right? Even crazy people laugh, and so when you become crazy about God's love, how much you will laugh! You will laugh so much that your lips will roll into your mouth. You are happy whether you close your eyes, open your eyes, or live for tens of thousands of years.

If there is such a person, what will happen? If such love power comes to you, what will happen? All the cells will be focused on this love as if they were electrified, and they will dance in its embrace. Although it may seem like a single dance, actually the whole world will follow the beat. In order to generate such a power, you should form spiritual conditions. Through this, if you go over the limits of the Fall and become a total minus, a perfect plus will come to you, even if you ask him not to come. Apart from these two ways, there is no way to control the body. God is using these strategies to complete the domination of the body. (70-67, 18-328, 65-73, 38-271, 18-327, 35-60)

The Kingdom of Heaven comes only when the fight between the mind and body ceases. Let us try to be people who can lead the body at will. The fight occurs because the power of mind and body are five to five. So pump up the mind with a high pressure and blow it up ten times, thereby raising the ratio up to fifty and five. Then the body will succumb to the mind, as a child to an adult. It will be like an elementary school student matched against a wrestling champion. As with an electric shock, with this power you will receive a strength that makes you feel your cells are bursting.

If you proceed with the conviction that the mind and body can become one within three years, God will come to you and work within you. Our spirits should be a stage on which God can work. (23-166, 39-200, 47-27, 65-74, 69-280, 38-304)

3) God Comes when We Unite Mind and Body

If your body acquires the habit of not following Satan, you will realize that you are a totally new being and moving toward Heaven. God will work for you, and you will feel tremendous power swell up from your spirit. Shall we call this cosmic power? It is a power to unify and dominate the whole. Then there would be no match for you. God will work within us and desire to dwell within us. Then we can feel acutely that we are living with God. Until we arrive at this point, we cannot call ourselves children of God. When all this is realized, the body becomes a holy temple. When you come near a bad smell, you will get a headache; when you try to go to a bad place, your feet will start aching. The body will sense the situation first and inform us.

Originally, humans are not supposed to dominate the earth only, but also the spiritual world. The Divine Principle speaks truly when it says that God comes when the mind and body are united. (52-305, 52-306, 35-59, 10-97, 69-280)

We should realize again that we are in the wrong, and become children and object-partners of the Absolute Being by uniting our minds and bodies, so that we can live eternally in the world of happiness. This I wish for you. This is the true path for human life. (39-357)
