2) The True Owner of All Things

All things wants to say, "I belong to this person, and the first ancestor of that family loved me in this way. The second ancestor loved me more in addition to that, and the third ancestor added more and loved me." Do they want that or not? If you want to become true owner of these things, you should take care of all things on behalf of God and love them. You should not only love them; you should educate your descendants so that they may love them even more. The people who do that become the true owners of all things.

Let's think about your value. Because you are a valuable existence, the things you have also come to have value as your objects. This is the Principle of Creation.

When a thing appears as an object in front of the subject, subject and object become one by giving and receiving mutually. Then the object is given value equivalent to that of the subject. That is the teaching of the Principle. Therefore, those people who don't take good care of the things which belong to them cannot last.

You should love what you own. You have to think everything you own is precious, from even a sheet of paper to all the properties of your house. It goes without saying that you should also save them and not waste them.

No matter how small a thing may be, if I pick it up, it comes to have value as my object. That way it is precious. Therefore, all the things that a famous person used are kept as the very precious antiques of the nation. No matter how old they become, they remain national property, part of the national treasure; right or wrong? Those things have value as the object of the central figures, who have a value equivalent to the whole nation. All people come to cherish them.

The things which are in accord with the traditional thought of the nation will lead people in the aspect of emotions and feelings. The world was formed when those things gathered. Do you understand? The true owner is a representative of God. The true owner should be the true owner of true things and true material.(46-273)

As members of the Church, you are in the position of becoming the sons and daughters of the True Parents. In order for you to be able to inherit the generation of the parents, you should love the things which belong to Father more than Father did. You should love them by putting your unique individual love into them; you should love them more than Father loves them.(46-272)
