1. THE PURPOSE OF GOD'S CREATION OF MAN Then why did God create man? The first reason is for God Himself to be able to stand in the position of parents. In the incorporeal realm beings cannot procreate. Therefore, in order to become parents of human beings with bodies, God must have a "body." Otherwise, He cannot be their Creator. Second, in the vertical world of spirit, even if a there is a line perpendicular to a vertical line, no area is produced. This is a metaphor to indicate that in the spiritual world there is no multiplication of beings. However, to develop the metaphor, when this perpendicular line is moved on the horizontal. world and then turned 360 degrees to create a sphere, a lot of space is produced. In that space, a base of substantial beings can be produced in order that citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven can be multiplied. Do you understand? The third reason is to maintain within man the characteristics of eternity, within the realm of the object of love. What this means is that it is not only Adam and Eve who are to be the objects of God's love. In the same way that Adam and Eve stand in the position of the object of God, so do their children. Therefore, God created man in order to eternally preserve this position of God's object. Do you understand what this is about? Both Adam and Eve call God Father. Then how will their children call God: uncle or grandpa? (They'll call God Father.) Yes, they will call God Father. To recapitulate: First, a form is needed. There must be a form of Parents. God must acquire the form of Adam's Father spiritually to show, "This is Parents." Second, the production center is needed to produce the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, husband and wife are the factory. If they are the factory, which is better, mass production or a little production? (Mass production is better.) Mass production is better. Then how many dozens would you like to produce? The more the better? The fewer the better? You women, how many dozens are you going to bear? When God sees birth control, He grimaces. Then what are you going to do? If the factory automates mass production and there comes to be mass production everywhere, the Kingdom of Heaven will be full. That's why women are created to bear many children.
