1. People on Earth and Spirits

This world is the world of devils. We must restore it. You don't know when you will die, right? Everybody dies. The heavenly kingdom on earth will not be established unless we prepare a foundation on the earth through which we can move between physical and spirit worlds, beyond the limitation of death. Without the heavenly kingdom on earth, there will be no heavenly kingdom in spirit world. You should arrange things in such a way that after you go to spirit world, you can come back to earth at will. Only then can we live in the heavenly kingdom on earth, and create the heavenly kingdom in heaven.

After you go to spirit world, you should be able freely to come back. Without establishing the heavenly kingdom on earth, you cannot freely come back, however. This is not a vain thought. It just happens this way, OK? We should work on it even until eternity. Ancestors, when they went to spirit world, were found guilty. Unable to find their way in spirit world, they come to earth and pay indemnity again. But you should not follow the same steps. If the Divine Principle is true, you are all blameworthy. What would you do? (146-223)

There is a high wall blocking the path of religion and way of the world. How can unbelievers harmonize themselves with the faithful, and how can believers find harmony among themselves in the Last Days? Without resolving this problem, humankind will be divided in two and fail to reach a new unified world. If the divided parts reach a unified world, this is not acceptable for the absolute God. So they cannot arrive at God's ideal world, which must be one. For this reason, the problem is not the complicated world affairs, but how I can find the self that can unify the mind and body and leap towards the goal. This problem remains, do you understand?

Considering that the unification of religion and world must come from myself, the question is what the Unification Church is trying to do today. The Unification Church is not just working for religion. The Unification Church should achieve solidarity with the world, finding ways in which the religious foundation can cooperate with the social foundation, and also ways in which the world can seek the religious path, thereby bringing the two into oneness. There is a big wall here, though, blocking bringing religion and society together. The wall stands blocking individual, family, nation, country, world, and even spirit world. You should know this.

So how can we demolish this wall? Where did the trouble start? Not from the world, but from the individual. What happened as a result of the individual going out of order? Mind and body came apart and pursued their own separate purposes. Then what is the problem here? It is how to converge different purposes into one, and then how to bring mind and body into one.

God and Satan are at work. God is leading the providence of salvation for humankind, and Satan is working in opposition to God. God, on the side of goodness, is advancing daily towards the purpose of the ideal world, and Satan is opposing it and trying to turn it back. At each border line and wall, God says, "Turn to the right," and Satan says, "Turn to the left." This is how we are divided. On the worldwide level, the rightward pursuit resulted in the right wing, and leftward movement the left wing. Now we are faced with the historical age of the Last Days for the right wing and left wing. Right and left wings represent the struggle of mind and body.

The question is how to bring this into one. Is it through the unity of world, country, tribe, and family that the individual is united? The beginning should be made from an individual. So putting aside the world for a while, we should make a movement for unity within individuals. With religion and reality connected, we should discover the self that neither of them can deny.

The problem here, however, is that evil spirits are dominating the body. Evil spirits are rooted in my body, and good spirits are rooted in my mind. This way the division of materialism and idealism comes. As the time comes, sinners should confess their sins. Unity among people on earth is influenced by the confrontation of good and evil spirits. Good and evil spirits are fighting on the worldwide level, although we do not feel that we are a part of it.
