Through my son, Heung Jin, going to the spirit world, Abel and the angels – who had been completely separated like earth and heaven – were bound together like twins. Upon that unified foundation, parents could be mobilized. This is the view of the Unification Principle.

Heung Jin is the Abel-type son who went to the spirit world on the basis of establishing conditions of indemnification for the realm of dominion of the Principle, which was established through True Parents' love. He went to the spirit world from the position of having conquered the realm of Satan's dominion and having realized the realm of God's direct dominion. He attained the state of being the son who went to heaven with the qualification of having perfected himself for the first time since the Fall.

Originally, if people had not fallen, they would have passed into the spirit world with the qualification of owners or sons centered on love based on the family foundation. That is where the realm of dominion based on accomplishments through the Principle and the realm of direct dominion are unified with that of True Parents' heart. By the Principle one cannot go to heaven without this foundation.

Since Jesus and Christians went to spirit world without reaching that point, until now they have all remained in the middle realm of the spirit world. With Heung Jin passing, however, a central point was established where they could be engrafted to God. Since Heung Jin received the Blessing and his spouse is still on earth, he can stand in the same position as having a family in his lifetime.

Thus, centering on Heung Jin's family, the spiritual foundation on which one can visit one's family on earth has been established. This is precious. The establishment of Heung Jin's family is precious.

If such work could have been done, despite Jesus' death, Christianity would not have needed to sacrifice as it did until now. Yet there has been no other way. Why? Jesus had to go to the other world and return because, within the realm of True Parents' heart, separation from Satan could not be done within the realm of dominion based on accomplishments through the Principle; and because the foundation of love was not established within the realm of direct dominion.

Yet Heung Jin does not need to come again. Heung Jin lives both in the spirit world and on earth. That being so, what will happen? The spiritual and physical worlds have become like twins from the standpoint of the realm of heart. The parents are in the eldest son position. From the viewpoint of generations, vertically the parents are above and Heung Jin of the second generation is below.

Yet in the spirit world this is reversed. In terms of our birth on earth, I am in the position of the elder brother and Heung Jin in that of the younger brother. I am in Cain's position and Heung Jin in Abel's position. In the spirit world, Heung Jin becomes the eldest son. He is in the position of the elder brother and all the other spirits are in the position of younger siblings. Based on the realm of heart, that is how it is. From God's standpoint, He is the Father, I am the elder son and Heung Jin is the younger son.

In the spirit world, Heung Jin is the eldest son based on the realm of love and all others in the spirit world stand in the position of younger siblings. There is a reversal. Thus, we reach the conclusion that the standard of heart for the right of the eldest son finds its correct position and settles there. You must teach this well when giving a Principle lecture. Now, in accordance with the realm of heart, before all the people in the spirit world, including even Jesus and all the good saints, Heung Jin is first to be born as the eldest son. From the viewpoint of the realm of heart, Heung Jin is the first son and the others are the second sons who are next to be born.

Consequently, Heung Jin can let the realm of the second son inherit the blessings of the right of the first son. Satan tried to prevent this from happening by plundering the inheritance. But Heung Jin, who now stands in the realm of the first son, delivered all the blessings he received while on earth. So there is a connection being made. Heung Jin unceasingly endeavors to pass these blessings on, whereas the satanic world resists doing do.
