Do you need love? (Yes) What sees love first? Within your body, what wants to see love first? What wants to touch love first? The point is, what is the antenna of love? The antenna of love in man is man's convex. What about woman? \When convex and concave come together, the united convex and concave appears round, and then gradually the original convex and concave shapes disappear. This is true with everything. What is an example? When a positive electric charge comes together to meet a negative electric charge, they create thunderstorms, but then return to being neutral, to zero. Do you understand? They are going back to what they were. Next, love proceeds in spiral motion. It does not become smaller, but becomes bigger and bigger. In this way, love has the desire to grow into bigger and greater love. Its nature is to seek family-level love rather than individual-level of love. You want the same, don't you? You seek the family level of love rather than individual level of love. You not only need your family, but you need your tribe. Therefore, a spiral action is employed to expand love. This is what we in the Unification Church say: "The individual is for the family...." Why? It is to connect up to the bigger world of love. Do you understand? The nation is for the world, the world is for the cosmos, the cosmos is for God, and God is for love. Did God come to existence for the sake of Himself? He is for the sake of love. That's why all beings that exist on earth want to be absorbed by love. Does even humankind want the same thing? For example, there are two people living together as husband and wife. Even though the husband loves the wife very much, if a greater love comes to the wife, then she will want to go to where there is more love. With greater love you can detach her from the other love. \Although husband and wife are married, if one of them realizes that one can embrace the people and the whole world, it is alright for him or her to leave the family. This will not be a bad thing to do. No matter how much the wife may cry, grabbing on to her husband, saying, "Please stay with me," the husband may leave his wife and children for the sake of bigger love. The people who move forward for bigger love are the people who are closer to God. That is why we call it goodness. Do you understand? (Yes) In comparison, which would you rather take? Would you pick the bigger one or the smaller one? (We want to have the bigger one.) No one wants to have the smaller one. Also, do you want to have a good one or a bad one? There is no human being who wants to have a bad one. Because of this, this is a common universal concept. The concept of ownership. This concept applies equally to everyone. But centered on what? It can only be love. Are American mothers' love for their children different from that of Korean mothers, or the same? Please answer this. Is it the same or different? The original quality is the same. The concept of unification is hard to conceive without love. Then, is the love between American husband and wife different from that between oriental husband and wife? Is it different or the same? If a woman sheds tears for her husband in yearning for him, are one person's tears spotted, while the other person's are bright with true heart? They are the same. The tears of the oriental wife and the tears of the Western wife in yearning to see the husband are the same color. If you taste them, they are salty. If you say sweet, then they are both sweet. Isn't this correct? When you say it is the same color, you mean that it is unchanging. (187-54)
