From "Selected Speeches of Reverend Sun Myung Moon"
Absolute obedience means you have no concept of self at all times. Thus, you don't have a concept of your own existence. This is because you invest all of you and forget what you have given away. An unlimited low pressure causes an unlimited high pressure. An absolutely unlimited low pressure meets an absolute unlimited high pressure at perpendicular. At the spot, the two become one naturally. Great power is born there. When you invest completely and forget completely, unlimited power continually exists. Why is this? Your concept of invest and forget completely is linked to God's love and heart that practice giving everything, forgetting what He gave. Because of this, the universe exists without depleting and wearing down.
The path that true love follows does not get smaller because of a burden of wearing down or depleting. The world of the concept that desires to invest more than what you invested before is at work; thus there are no phenomena of wearing down or depleting yourself. In the world of true love, the more this force is operated, the greater the world becomes.
The word, "Absolute Obedience" does not imply the concept of self. As long as the concept of self exists, it is just being passive. Being obedient means there is no concept of self. When God created, God Himself forgot about His own existence. Then, He invested Himself from the position of nothingness -- in a complete vacuum. Therefore, He is able to look for His object of love in the realm of absolute high atmospheric pressure. This is logical.
Although God thinks like we do, His thought is much larger. God owns love. But His love is much bigger. We should call something that lives for the greater being as a "subject." However, we who are fallen think we are subject centered on little being we. There is no mutual agreement.
Therefore, fallen people must deal with the proposition -- absolute obedience. While God is the absolutely great subject, a small subject acts repulsively as plus repulses another plus. You must deny yourself absolutely before god who is your absolute subject. Be a minus. This is the meaning of being obedient. If you become an absolute minus, you connect to the plus in one instance. This is the principle of Heaven and earth.
