2. THE WAY OF LIFE WE MUST ADOPT

What have I been emphasizing to you? The vague way of life that you have been living in the past must change into a concrete way of life. (18-178) We certainly must inquire about the way of life to be led as an individual and also as a family. (24-29)

What will remain at the very end? It will not be any of the philosophies or outlooks on life formulated by humans. It will be a way of life concerning God. God must be the main view of life; it must be a worldview that unites God and humans. It is not a place where humans have a vague degree of understanding about God, but rather a place where man can never fall away, no matter what. Why? Since the human fall from God occurred at the place where it was not supposed to have happened, man has to reach a place higher than that. We have to come forward and claim a worldwide stage of life, where God and man are one. (65-127)

Where have you presently been placed in the Unification Church? Unification Church members must act in concert with me, wherever or whenever they may go. Until now, I haven't managed only by myself. I have lived with God and walked in the same direction with Him and in step with Him, investing my life completely.

Now, we three, God, you and I, must become one. We have to act in concert. Since this is a decisive question of life and death, three must unite at the point where they come together. In other words, the realm of resurrection of life is at that very point. It is the connecting point where the Father and I become one and you and I become one and unite. There the unification for one heart takes place. Therefore, you must lead a life of oneness with the Will. (31-321)

For you, it is a question of how to lead your lives while becoming one in heart with God's Will, your will and the will of your future spiritual children, all three at the place where time, a person, and the direction, become one by day or by month. It is a question of how to bring a whole year into such a standard. (24-133, 28-80)

You have to check yourselves. Have I become one with the cause, the goal, and the subject? When I find myself not being one with the cause and the goal, and not being able to stand in an object position in front of a subject, I must continuously keep in mind the need to become one with the cause, the goal, and the subject. After establishing the subject/object relationship and the direction, then the purpose must be clear. Have you been thinking this way until now? (66-257, 108-83)

What kind of life does God want? It is not a self-centered life. I say to you, it is not a self-centered life. Therefore, you Unification Church members should hang a map of the world or the terrestrial globe on the wall of your room and always think, "Where would God go today?" I have set up my mind here, but could God, who created heaven and earth, be looking only at me?" You have to think about it. (155-248)

A monotonous life becomes like a habit. A person who thinks that this is the way of human life is nothing but a worldly person. We have to lead a life that is capable of improving the common living circumstances and of bringing higher value. Only in that way can the position of goodness be determined in the evil world. A person cannot be called a religious person if he or she is not able to dominate external life. He or she cannot be called a heavenly person.

Therefore, everybody needs character-building. It is not enough just to do activities. We have to live in a way such that after our activities, when we sit down quietly, we are able to hold and match the directions of above and below, left and right. \Without a doubt this is the way a person will stay, based on the substantial standard in a the position of the vertical axis.(185-182)
