If you are liberated, God will be liberated. Is that right? (Yes.) If our family is liberated, the family in heaven will be liberated. If this world is liberated, heaven will be liberated. Therefore, the theory in the Bible that whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever you free on earth will be freed in heaven will be made clear by such an understanding of the unity of two structures. We should know that our physical life is really precious. We can conclude that we can liberate God and the universe and unite heaven and earth only while we are on earth. Even if we sum up God and all things, we can't exchange our physical body for them. Why is it so? God can not perfect creation alone, without physical man. Therefore, our physical body is so precious. Isn't it wonderful! Man has desire. What does God want man to have before desire? This is what God wants man to have: Love your physical body. Our physical body can't be exchanged for the universe. The Bible says, "Even though you gain the whole world, if you lose your life, what can you gain?" (91:191) When we restore this world and spiritual world, we bring them back to the original position. It costs the 70 to 80 years of our life to restore the spirit world as well as the world of earth. There is no greater business than this. I spent my entire youth trying to accomplish it. As you know the truth now, you are happy people. (15:146) Today, man lives for only 70 to 80 years. Our heart knows that it has taken more than a million years to restore a historical sphere of goodness that we are supposed to be connected to for a short 70 to 80 years. We have to make a connection to the sphere of goodness for the short 70 to 80 years. Our conscience becomes desperate, knowing how immense this task is. We mustn't die without accomplishing it. While we are alive, we can make a connection to a sphere of goodness, restore the sovereignty of the Fatherland, serve a heavenly sovereign, and live with the people in the nation. Then you can go to heaven in the spiritual world. If we can't go there and can't look there, how anxious our heart will be! (155:27) In the unlimited spiritual realm, where time is eternal, once we see something, we can't help seeing it eternally. Do you understand? Once we do something there, it will be eternal. When we go to such a place, and if a million people happen to know how to live well there, how do we deal with ourselves? Have you even thought about such a thing? The only way to realize it is through our physical life. This is the only time to straighten out our life. There is no way to realize it by living for the sake of ourselves. Do you understand? Rev. Moon and the Unification Church didn't have to go through such a suffering course for the last 50 years if there was any way to realize it by living for the sake of ourselves. (59:50) Man should follow the way of living according to the Unification Principle even after 1,000 years have passed. You can go this way within 60 or 70 years, or even 40 years. If you fail, you may have to face judgment in the spirit world for thousands of years. You know the existence of the spirit world, don't you? If I didn't know about the spirit world, you would have no way to know these things. No other theologian or religious leader in the world knows how the spirit world works and how it relates to the physical world. Everyone has to learn from me. Do you understand that you have such a privilege? (135:297)
