Excerpts
The fulfillment of our portion of responsibility is to unite the earthly and spiritual worlds, to unite mind and body. The vertical God and the horizontal True Parents are one. The goal is unified love, the love that connects heaven and earth, the love in which body and mind are one, and in which man and woman are one. Having built the foundation of a unified love, then the love, life and lineage of God can be connected to that point for the first time. And when that is expanded and developed horizontally in all directions, the right of kingship is created. This is a straightforward matter.
…
The love of heaven is vertical and the love of the earth is horizontal. The love between brothers is a love between front and back. It is all three-dimensional. That is why, when there is unity between parents and children, a foundation is laid that allows God to reside on earth. In this way, God can stand in the position of the ancestor of humankind. He stands in the position of the parent. Human beings have to connect to God as His children and this will result in the creation of a family united with heaven and earth. This can only take place after you have fulfilled the human portion of responsibility. The love of heaven and earth must be connected. It is that simple.
…
Sexual organs are so precious for they are the royal palace of life, love and lineage. But if you treat them like libertines, as if they were bull's balls, how are you going to pay the price of that sin? Isn't this a serious problem? This is a holy place. It is the most holy place, which God created as the most precious organ. What happens when it is defiled? In Moses' course, were not those who defiled the Ark of the Covenant killed on the spot? This is the same. Defiling the stronghold of love, which is the same as the most holy place, cannot be forgiven. Man and woman embrace each other. Loving each other is a cosmic act. It is the touchstone for forming the realm of oneness of God and humankind. In this moment man and woman are granted the relationship that connects the finite to the infinite.
…
Man and woman are the concentrated nucleus of heaven and earth. When a husband and wife are united through true love the entire universe is involved. Man and woman were born for the sake of love. They were created to have both vertical and horizontal relationships. By fulfilling their portion of responsibility, the vertical owner of love comes into being and then the horizontal owner can come into being. This is accomplished through true love.
…
When Adam and Eve fulfill their portion of responsibility God becomes the vertical being in relation to them, and Adam and Eve become horizontal beings. They are united through true love. In this way, the vertical is joined for the first time with the horizontal and the point of their union becomes the foundation to implant the root of love. Unless this happens, this axis cannot stand correctly. If the ideology upholding the Messiah and upholding parents becomes the axis, what do you think will happen? When they unite with that axis they will multiply automatically. Then the love, life and lineage of God will become firmly fixed for eternity.
…
First and foremost, you must accomplish your own portion of responsibility. Then, everything in heaven and earth resonates around a unified love. The relationships between father and son, husband and wife, and brothers and sisters are all unified centering on the point of their union becomes the foundation to implant the root of love. Unless this happens, this axis cannot stand correctly. If the ideology upholding the Messiah and upholding parents becomes the axis, what do you think will happen? When they unite with that axis they will multiply automatically. Then the love, life and lineage of God will become firmly fixed for eternity.
