European 21-Day Settlement Age Workshop Building a True Culture of Heart
Introduction • The contents of DP from 1950s and 60s • 1993-5 True Father taught Japanese Blessed sisters – Eves of Eve Nation • You and I are like twin brother and sister conceived in our mother’s womb – no secrets – I will disclose all to you at the cost of my life
New Perspective • Understand God who is married to woman • God who loves His beloved children • God who lost His bride and could not consummate His marriage • Satan the enemy of love • God could only forgive – love the enemy
Chapter I The Four Great Realms of Heart, The Three Great Kingships and The Realm of the Royal Family
Sec.1Four Great Realms of Heart Very hard to perceive myself – closest things. e.g. cannot remember his own face - mirror cannot feel the sound of his own heart beating • God cannot perceive Himself or feel joy by Himself. • He needs an object to feel himself and rejoice. • A mirror to reflect Himself and understand His own existence. • God perceives Himself through His children • Human Beings = the substantial object of God Self-evident truth This is the first motivation for creation God is the blueprint – Harmonized body of SS/HS M/F Creation began from the idea of Adam and Eve – cherished in God from the beginning – final point of creation
Adam and Eve Twins within God’s womb Inseparable beings I. Textbook of Children’s Love God • God visualized his children • God’s and human vision should • be the same • All human beings want to • be like God A E Child’s love B/S’s love Conjugal love Husband Wife Adult Completion Youth Growth What you experience As a child affects Your whole life Formation Child Heart and emotion Developed by parents’ love beautiful environment A E Twin children of God
The Four Great Loves • Children’s Love • Brother’s/Sister’s Love • Conjugal Love • Parent’s Love God Settlement point of the Four Great Loves God’s Home M F Father’s Love Mother’s Love Wife’s Love Husband’s Love Brother’s Love Sister’s Love M F Son’s Love Daughter’s Love
Development – good example (parents, elders) - vital God Subject Object Emotion Intellect Heart and emotion are the most Important aspect to develop – to be cherished as a child – feel loved, valued, safe. Children strong curiosity want to learn Will Will develops based on the interaction between emotion and intellect - by adolescence this should form as a correct will and intention
II. Textbook of Brother’s and Sister’s Love • Brother and sister have similar elements (different from the rest of the creation), but are also unique and different from each other. • Not just physically different also in internal nature • Adam – rough, strong, bold – aggressive, intense action - throwing rocks, rushing ahead • Eve – calmer, more sensitive, appreciates the beauty of nature – chasing the butterflies, picking the flowers • As they grow to maturity – Adam begins to feel increasingly protective towards Eve, Eve begins to miss Adam. This is the development from sibling love towards conjugal love – God designed them this way.
Children’s Love (foundation for B/S love) Brother-Sister Love includes children’s love G The double realm of love (inclusiveness of love)
Parents Older Brother Younger Sister • Older brother’s love to his younger sister is an extension of his love • for his parents (because he knows his parents’ heart) • Parents want to see brothers and sisters love each other more than • they love their parents – their greatest hope and joy • Fighting brothers and sisters break their parents’ heart • God desires that we love others more than we love God
The Fall resulted in conflict between siblings because of a lack of parental love (God’s love) To overcome global disputes and wars we need parents First Heart = Children’s love towards parents Second Heart = Brothers’ and sisters’ love (these loves provide the foundation to enter the next realm of love – conjugal love) These two hearts correspond to the perfection of the individual, the First Blessing, and to the right of elder-sonship.
III. Textbook of Conjugal Love Internal – cause One in heart Heart Heart cause Object Subject E The starting point of Conjugal love First Love A Goes to man to receive God’s seed God’s Seed of life Body Body External – effect One in body effect 60 billion cells 5 physical senses 5 spiritual senses 60 billion cells 5 physical senses 5 spiritual senses Intoxicated With love
Heaven = man - 0.001 % seed Earth = woman – 99.99 % True children call out ‘Oma’ when they come home and True Mother brings them to True Father to bow. Mother and sons’ cooperation – the woman brings all the children back to God.
The Triple Realm of Love Children’s Love *Conjugal love= based on the victorious foundation of love for God/parents/bro-sis. G Brother-Sister Love Conjugal love = 3rd heart Sex Education << Character Education
God comes down to the central point where man and woman meet in love for God and each other. The Settlement Point of the Four Great Loves. 2. The central point of First Love A man’s sexual love belongs exclusively to his wife and a woman’s sexual love belongs exclusively to her husband. They are the precious gift of God, the source of true love, life and lineage. God + - 50% of God 50% of God + - M W God’s Palace = sacred The dwelling place of God Under God’s approval and blessing Man and woman become one melted together in love *Sexual relationship hidden from God = sin The Sexual relationship
The Tabernacle Tablets of stone = A & E = Jesus & HS = Male and Female sexual organ The Ark G Only the priest allowed to enter Only your husband / wife The Holy of Holies The most holy place – the Holy of Holies The holy place can be entered by all It is like a person’s face – all can see it. The Holy Place Through the Fall Satan entered the Holy of Holies God was chased out and became homeless
3. The Completion of Human Beings The completion of God is achieved when man and woman become one with God and each other in love + - Settlement point of 4GRH The 4 loves are united as one One centre God’s eternal home 90 Holy Man Holy Woman Children’s Love Brother-Sister 's Love Conjugal Love Parental Love
The Settlement Point of the 4 Great Realms of Heart • The completion of human beings is based on the completion of love – the four realms of heart • The primary loves are like the primary colours All the varieties of love/colour can be made from the primary loves/colours • The 4 loves cannot be separated – they have one centre – they are linked together by one love source, God’s love • Conjugal love is the primary condition for God’s love to come down and meet human love – at that place all 4 loves are consummated and the settlement point of the Four Great Realms of Heart is formed
The Settlement Point of the 4 Great Realms of Heart • The place to settle eternal joy on the earth • The place of true happiness = True Family • The very place God comes down to achieve the absolute, unique, unchanging, eternal love • At this place (settlement point) all 4 loves are consummated • At this point the relationship to God becomes absolute, unique, eternal and unchanging • To make this point the family must be completed / perfected • So what is family? = the place to fulfill life’s purpose = the 3 Blessings = 1st Blessing – Children’s love - B’s/S’s love = 2nd Blessing – Conjugal love - Parents’ love
The Settlement Point of the 4 Great Realms of Heart • We all desire happiness – how to gain happiness? • You need a partner – relationship to another • A single holy man or woman cannot experience this happiness • Happiness occurs where we make oneness – love is the force that makes oneness • The most crucial love is conjugal love • Conjugal love cannot be shared unlike other loves • A True Family – one that achieves the 4GRH • The basic principle of FFWPU • Family relationships are eternal – continue into spirit world
The ideal of God Designed from the beginning Existed together with God First substantiated by True Parents The Quadruple Realm of Love G Children’s love Brother’s and sister’s love Conjugal love Parents’ love
4. The Purpose of Marriage A husband makes his wife perfect. A wife makes her husband perfect. + - God The perfection of 4GRH can be realized only through the foundation of conjugal love – we must marry to attain perfection (1) To accomplish Mutual Perfection God’s love comes down. Husband and wife should cherish each other – without you I cannot perfect the 4GRH and myself - “My spouse is the 2nd messiah.” “My children are the 3rd messiah.” +
God is attracted to and cannot separate from the place where Husband and wife join in love – he cannot help but follow them The Love Organ – the most valuable organ Among all the creation God invested most in human beings and Within our being He invested His utmost effort and sincerity into the creation of the love organs. They are located in a “hidden” place. Without them we cannot attain the purpose of life Ownership: The love organ of the man is for the sake of one woman – his wife The love organ of the woman is for the sake of one man – her husband Before marriage keep your love organ pure and sacred for the sake of your future spouse All the things of creation fulfill their purpose by becoming one with Human beings – want to become part of our body even our love organ Absolute Sex = eternally one spouse (2) To capture God’s love
The growth of God – God grows through experience God experiences through our experience: Baby’s love, Child’s love, adolescent’s love All are aspects of God’s invisible nature. The woman is the substantial expression of the feminine nature of God (3) To perfect God Himself The man is the substantial expression of the masculine nature of God Welcome God into the joy of the sexual relationship
How long did God wait to get married? • Adam and Eve’s time > God wanted to get married, but the Fall • Jesus’ time > a true man who died without marriage and children • True Parent’s time – the first time God could experience conjugal love • True Parents = filial children – made God truly happy • True Father is an artist of conjugal love – he taught so much about love • To establish the husband and wife relationship is the highest • mission of the Blessed Couple. • To meet God in the spiritual world you need to be husband/wife • Finally through us God wants to experience loving His grandchild
The Settlement Age Begin to settle the 4 great realms of heart and include all things That is the fulfillment of the purpose of creation - the 3 Blessings And God and human beings’ joy Which then is completed by expanding to all humanity What is the Age of Settlement? True Family Expand to all humanity
5. The Three Original Palaces + - All 4 loves are combined and completed at the central point of settlement through conjugal love This is True Love The relationship is unchanging, eternal This is the ‘starting point’ Not just a feeling – completely one with God God (1) The Original Palace of True love The Perfection of True Love through completing: - + True Love True Children’s Love True Brother-Sister 's Love True Life True Conjugal Love True Lineage True Parental Love
+ G - • Connected to the origin of life • Life comes out of love • If love is true, life is true • The father’s and mother’s love • are intermingled and their lives • intermingle to create new life • The baby is the most precious • love palace fruit – it is part of • and the fruit of this secret/private • love relationship A E Two loves and lives combine to make new life True Life (2) The Original Palace of True Life If the conjugal relationship is not connected to the origin, God, it is not true and the life that results is false. We are the descendants of false, fallen love and life
Blood linage = The linkage between God – parents – children through the generations Adam and Eve – conjugal relationship nothing to do with God fruit / children nothing to do with God all descendants not belonging to God True lineage = The continuity of True love and True life from generation to generation (3)Original Palace of True Lineage True Love Heavenly Tradition Should have been established by Adam and Eve True Life True Lineage Establish God’s lineage >> start the Kingdom of Heaven Without marriage we cannot enter the K of H
The 4th Heart – parental love begins from the labour pains experienced in child birth – like God who gave 100%+ - at cost of life – beyond life IV. Textbook of Parental Love Standard of goodness = to live for the sake of others - as God has exemplified God A E Father Mother True Love True Life Adam and Eve – 2nd creators = the same value as God A E True Lineage Children have the same value as A/E
Parental realm of heart (The 4th Heart) 1. The meaning of labour pains during childbirth. The peak of the pain of childbirth = investing 100% + At the cost of your life – giving and forgetting and giving again When a woman gives birth, she will inherit the same labour pain as God felt at the time of birth of Adam/Eve. 2. The 2nd Creator Through the birth of our children we become a 2nd creator One couple Adam and Eve = one origin >> multiplication The children have the same value as the parents Adam and Eve are ‘more than God’ because they can bear many children 3. Experience and embody God’s love Selfless love : continuously give and forget - Do not keep a record. We taste the love out of which God created You become the flesh and blood of God’s love – embodiment The more children – the more your heart expands – more variety
Fallen Humans – offer all possessions to God – not qualified Return our ownership to God – total living offering Section II The 3 Great Kingships & the Realm of the Royal Family Inclusive 1st heart Children’s Love 1st blessing 2nd blessing 3rd blessing = dominion 2nd heart Brother-Sister 's Love Eldersonship 3rd heart Conjugal Love Parentship 1. The 3 Great Kingships 4th heart Parental Love Kingship On the foundation of completing the 1st and 2nd Blessing, we receive The 3rd Blessing = Dominion over All Things God wants to give all He has to such a King and Queen of love TF wants to restore Kingship because God’s Kingship can only be established through Adam’s kingship = the goal of creation
The settlement point of the 4GRH The 1st Kingship = God’s/grandparents kingship The Kingship representing the past The Kingship of the Invisible Substantial world +God- The 2nd Kingship = Parents’ kingship The Kingship representing the present The Kingship of the Visible Substantial world A E The 3 Great Kingships – the kingship of 3 generations Children The 3rd Kingship = Children’s KingshipThe Kingship representing the future Kingship of the Invis. & Vis. Substantial worlds Substantial settlement of the Three GreatKingships = Established through 3 generations Continues for eternity
G Settlement point of 4GRH The central root of kingship, and blood lineage A E The central trunk of kingship, and blood lineage C 2. The Realm of the Royal Family The central bud of kingship, and blood lineage Continues from generation to generation for eternity The lineage expands through time and space and fills the Physical and Spiritual Worlds >> The Realm of the Royal Family
The Realm of the Royal Family G A E C Collateral line Collateral line the Royal Family Direct line (Kingship) Registration Blessing = engraft to True Family
Sec.3 Conscience Conscience = original mind (DP explanation) pursues absolute goodness, the purpose of creation (principled, responsible, strives to achieve results that bring happiness to God) Conscience = the 2nd God (everyone has their own conscience) a function of our heart which always pursues the same direction as God the small God inside me that belongs to me (exclusive to me) remains with me eternally (birth to spirit world) 1. What is the Conscience?
True Father was looking everywhere in a search for the right way for human beings. Then he discovered the conscience, which is inside each person, and realized that all the answers are there. He was so happy – ‘Why didn’t I realize before!?’ Your conscience is always at work, talking to you and guiding you towards goodness. You should listen to and follow your conscience. If you have an unrighteous thought your conscience will shout out against it. Your conscience is aware of all your thoughts and feelings. It will never speak to you about evil things. Reflect – can any one of you declare that you never disobeyed the voice of your conscience? If you live a life where you continuously ignore your conscience it becomes difficult to hear and follow.
God God is the root of the conscience The subject being behind the conscience The subject of absolute goodness Conscience 2nd God My conscience can only be satisfied 100% when : I live for the sake of God and others at the risk of my life. This is the standard of True Love and the life-style of True Father. This is the same for all nationalities, races and generations.
1. Our conscience is superior to our parents *Parents can make mistakes, be against goodness. *Parents cannot watch over me all the time. *Loving parents cannot control the physical desires of their children. 2. Our conscience is superior to our teacher *The teacher cannot be with you at all times, but the conscience is continuously present to teach and guide you. *Conscience is not the product of education – even if you are not well educated academically your conscience still works 2. The 3 Propositions of the Conscience
3. Our conscience is superior to God! (Remember that our conscience comes from God Who is the root/subject of our conscience) a. God created us with his heart that we become greater than God. He designed us to be greater than Himself – gave us conscience b. Our conscience is an independent function – we have freedom and responsibility – God does not directly control us. c. Our conscience knows our thoughts and feelings first and has the primary responsibility to lead us to goodness (in the position of God). God is always try to relate to us through our conscience – e.g. At the time of the Fall God asked - ‘Where are you? Why are you hiding?’ – ‘She gave it to me!’ The answer of the evil mind – self-justification. It is very hard for fallen people to repent and take responsibility. d. Our conscience needs to be sharpened – listened to. It has been ignored – wounded - has pain. (TF returns to USA > Danbury)
The conscience exists in an immature state even within the mind of a baby – it grows with us during the growing period. G In God’s Direct Dominion Our conscience is totally free – filled with joy Cannot be wounded (Cannot sin or hurt God) Conscience The fall took place at the top of the growth stage. Eve’s conscience was desperately crying out – ‘Do not do it!’ Through the Fall Eve’s conscience was deeply wounded. Her conscience was overpowered by her self-centered physical desire. Emotion >> reason (Feeling to respond to temptation) Every time our evil mind defeats our conscience it is wounded again. 3. Why is our conscience wounded? Conscience
4. The liberation of our conscience • Repentance • We are so sinful that we are unaware of our sin. • We need time to study and pray deeply, away from our busy daily life. • Realize about our sin and how much our conscience is stained and wounded. • Check my motivation. • Our conscience is covered by fallen nature – like a film of dirt that covers it so that it is not able to function. • It is very hard to correct bad habits • We need to repent – clean up – become a pure container to hold God.
2. Gain victory in the struggle between our conscience and our evil mind The voice (power) of my evil mind (flesh mind) The voice (power) of my conscience Battle – 3 to 5 years How to defeat the evil mind • Strengthen the conscience • By words of truth – some people’s conscience is paralysed – they • can do evil without pangs of conscience. Most people’s conscience • still works but can be defeated by temptation. Strengthen your • conscience by study of God’s word – know God’s heart and truth, • so that you can overcome temptation and trial. • By prayer – see my sin, listen to my conscience – voice of 2nd God. • c. By practice – act upon my realizations – the voice of conscience- live a • life of sacrificial (true) love.
2. Weaken/eradicate the Evil Mind (physical desires) Satan comes into us through this mind. Connects to the desire to sleep, eat and to sexual desire, which should be controlled by our conscience/original mind. Self-discipline - religious discipline – monks, nuns. After 3 to 5 years a good habit is established – to follow my conscience. After 10 years we feel joy through our ability to control our desires. This is the purpose of religion – but we cannot be saved by religion alone – religion prepares us to receive salvation through the Blessing. Cut down the false tree to receive the engrafting from the true olive tree – be a good object to True Parents. Our responsibility – to guide humanity to the top of the growth stage and there to receive the Blessing.
Sec 1. Internal Meaning of the Fall Changed lineage God‘s >>> Satan‘s Fall G To become eldest Son of God Restoration = Reverse Course Cut relationship with Satan Regain realtionship to God as son of His lineage Commandment Original Adam (God‘s lineage) A E AA Changing of the Blood Lineage from God’s side to Satan’s side Physical Fall Satan’s Wife Mother of Fallen Adam Spiritual Fall Fallen Adam Satan = Original Adam died Reborn as Satan‘s son Satan‘s lineage Reborn through the Blessing Restoration of Blood Lineage Central mission of Messiah = Change of Blood lineage =Blessing (and Give God’s word) *Jesus should have been married. (Not intended to be an atonement)
God: In relation to creation Masculine Subject God God’s Joy and Happiness True love True life True lineage Adam: Substantializes The Living God Adam Son Daughter Family World 2. Who is Satan? Lucifer >>>Fallen Archangel = Archenemy of God God wanted to create His own family – 3 Blessings True Family – central aim of the providence Adam’s wife = God’s wife Mother of their children Eve Enemy of love, words, property, sovereignty Satan Eve God became a lonely batchelor, Whose bride and family were stolen By His enemy = pain of broken family Starting point of fallen humanity Satan‘s family / lineage
The Reasons Why God could not directly destroy Satan and his dominion God originally created the AA and Human Beings as eternal beings (Destroy = violate His own creation – become a failure) God originally created them to be His absolute, eternal and unchanging object of True Love (Destroy = God of eternal sorrow) God must restore His children and creation back to their original position >>> restoration through indemnity >>> the providence of restoration
How will Restoration be achieved? Satan said to God: I became an evil being. You should know why I became evil. I became such an evil being because I wanted to have Your love, God! This is the resentment of Lack of Love God had to agree with that. Therefore He loves Satan unconditionally Satan will only surrender to love Therefore loving Satan is the only way to solve the problem Jesus and True Father Mission of Abel = To love Cain
