1. THERE IS ORDER IN THE UNIVERSE A new ontology of a new religion must reveal that all the absolute beings worshipped in the past were not separate but were one and the same God. It also has to be able to reveal God's view of each religion so that each can grasp the Creator's attributes and understand properly all His aspects. All religions are brother religions established by one God. At the same time that a new religion reveals God's attributes, its new ontology must reveal the cause, purpose, and principles of the creation. It must convey the feeling that purpose and principles govern the movement of all things in the universe. Further, it must explain that the rules human beings have to follow are in accord with the rules of the universe, namely natural law. \It must be revealed that there is a system of vertical order, formed by the rules of the creation, of the sun, the moon, and the stars of the universe. This natural law appears within the family as the vertical order formed by grandparents, parents, and children. The horizontal order formed by brothers and sisters is established and simultaneously a corresponding sense of value and norms are formed. (122-304) When you go out to work in a farming village, you won't be working just by yourself. The husband and wife go out and start working after reporting the duties of the day to God. When they finish and return they will eat only after reporting to God. You have to know how strict is God's standard, which regulates all things. There are rules of family life that a woman must keep, and there are rules that a man must keep. (31-276) In Korean society, during the three-year mourning time after parents have passed away, their children offer meals to the departed spirits of their parents every morning and evening. Also, whenever they go out or return home, they perform a greeting toward the altar of their parents. Aren't there such rules in Korean society? You have to do better than that. Does what you do now adapt exactly to the formalities of Heaven from the viewpoint of the Will? No, it does not. Far from it. (31-275)
