1) The Power of Love

Both the spirit world and the physical world operate by the force of love. Centering on the vertical axis of true love, all the elements of the environment come to interconnect with each other automatically. Just as man and woman join together, all the elements combine exactly like this. (Father clasps his hands together.) (185:20)

Even if you try to put a beard on a woman's face, it doesn't grow. If you want to try, you can. I don't think it will work. How can a plus possibly become a minus? It must be a plus eternally. What is the common denominator? What is the qualification for people in the past and present to live together eternally? What is the primary desire of all humanity? It is love. And not just any love, but true love.

Then what is true love? It must be a love that forms a 90-degree angle between the vertical and the horizontal. This must be the same angle anywhere. It fits into Oriental homes. It fits into Western homes. It fits into northern- or southern-type homes. This angle fits into all homes, no matter what kind of cultural or religious background or skin color they have. It's the same everywhere. That is true love. (180:86)

Today more than six billion people live in this world. But only a few understand the meaning of the Blessing, which the Unification Church teaches about. The Unification Church initiated the term, "Blessing", and has performed Blessing ceremonies centering on this word.

Where should humanity go from now? No human being can go to the Kingdom of Heaven without going through the gate of the Blessing. Many people worship in the established churches. But even the established churches themselves cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven unless they go through the gate of the Blessing.

If I tell them this, they complain that Rev. Moon of the Unification Church speaks arbitrarily. That is their opinion. Nevertheless, all fallen human beings must go through the Blessing. No matter how seriously they oppose it, the Blessing is the most significant thing, and we must enter it in order to join together the spiritual realm and the physical realm.

Today the people who believe in religion think that salvation means individual salvation. They think that they can enter the Kingdom of God if they just have good faith individually. But God's original ideal is not like that. Only a loving husband and wife, a loving family, can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (143:235)
