The Mountaintop, or the Summit as it may be called, may be viewed from the North, East, South or West; from above, below, or from within.

Each view looks different; yet each viewer looks at the same Mountaintop. So it is with religions of man — Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Taoism, and so forth.

How do they apply to you right now in your life? To what degree have you incorporated each one?

Each created its own principles that follow some of the Divine Principles of Truth. In the end, it all comes back to the Relationship of "THE ONE GOD WITHIN."

In our life, each of us searches for Truth within our heart. Go through the following Divine Principles, and carefully consider each one.

Page 16: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

The real spiritual starting point of preparation for a Unification Churchwas the sad answer to Jesus prayer 2000 years ago in Israel!

Go the Way of the Cross!That led to a need for 2nd Advent of Christ!

Only God new the plan (=Korea), according to Jesus

Gethsemane (Mk. 14:36)

C.T. (Core teaching) “Love God and your neighbor”• “Forgive and love your

enemies”

Page 20: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Some 13 Core Teachings of Jesus:

Initial Message "This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."

The Golden Rule: "Do to others whatever you would have them do to you." 

The Greatest Commandment: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength... You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 

Love of Enemies: "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." 

Repentance & Forgiveness: "If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

Page 21: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Judging Others: "Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.“

Faith & Prayer: "Have faith in God... Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours." 

Jesus' Destiny: "The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days.

Jesus' Identity: "Again the high priest asked him and said to him, 'Are you the Messiah, the son of the Blessed One?' Then Jesus answered, 'I am; and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.' " 

Page 22: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Jesus and the Father: "After Jesus was baptized... a voice came from the heavens, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.' me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.“

Jesus and the Holy Spirit: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.“

Healing: "And these signs (casting out) shall follow them that believe (Christians) in My name (Jesus) shall they "cast out 'devils'." Mark 16

Follower: “Take up your cross and follow Me” (Matth 16; Mark 8; Luke 9)"

Some 13 Core Teachings of True Father Moon:

Initial Message:  The Messiah, Christ, LSA, 3rd Adam - will be born in Korea as a man, - and marry in Holy Marriage - and Bless others in Holy Marriage. /DP

The Golden Rule: "Do to others whatever you would have them do to you." 

The Greatest Commandment: Fulfill the 3 Blessings.Whatever the time or place, love is most important. God was searching for a person who would live with a heart of love and who, when faced with suffering, could cut off its effects with love. /TF Biography  

Page 24: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

…Core Teachings of True Father Moon:

Love of Enemies: "When you love your enemies rather than seeking revenge, you create the condition for winning them over and eventually leading them. All the world religions- Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, etc.-that are persecuting me are actually signing over their blessings to me in the process. That is the inevitable consequence of their opposition.”

“This is universal truth. Therefore, persecution is not really a bad thing; in fact, it is almost a necessity. Throughout history religions have been persecuted, but still they have flourished. Persecution does not necessarily bring destruction.”

“This operates like a balance scale. If you push one end all the way down, the other end will rise all the way up. When Western culture and Western people persecute me, the Oriental, black and colored people will rise and acknowledge me as their champion. They

will support me. "  /23 Jan 1983

“Historians will record that Reverend Moon truly exemplified the command of Jesus: Love your enemies. Reverend Moon has been loving his enemies through every circumstance, including this recent court indictment and trial. I inspired the creation of the Inchon film for the purpose of awakening of the American public. Likewise I inaugurated the creation of The Washington Times to inspire righteous public opinion for the sake of America. These deeds will be recorded by future historians as manifestations of loving

one's enemies.” /1 May 1984

...Core Teachings of True Father Moon:

Repentance & Forgiveness: Law of Indemnity + The Blessing

Judging Others: "Stop judging each other” /DaeMoNim

Faith & Prayer: Pray for the sake of all humanity, or for the heart of God and the cosmic dispensation.History is looking forward to another epoch, and such paryings, the coming of the Lord of the Second Advent. /SMM 16Oct 77

TF Destiny: Not to die (Prophetic, 3 dove in Noahs Ark) Marriage of the Lamb Fulfill the 3 Great Blessings

Page 26: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

...Core Teachings of True Father Moon:

TF' Identity: At a meeting held in the eastern part of the United States on the occasion of his first visit to the U.S.A., a questioner bluntly asked him: "Are you Christ?" In reply Sun Myung Moon raised his hand and pointed to various members of the audience in turn, saying: "and so are you... and you... and you also, if you can accept it.The purpose of the coming Lord is that some day all shall be like him – like Christ.“In a way then, the Divine Principle, this new revelation, is the documentary of my life. It is my own life experience. The Divine Principle is in me, and I am in the Divine Principle.

Page 27: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

...Core Teachings of True Father Moon:

TF and the Heavenly Father: My every action is to liberate God from his sorrow.God has been following Reverend Moon all these silent, lonely years.

TF and the Holy Spirit: TF + TM = True Parents “New Holy Trinity”

Healing: CP Providence since 1995…Ancestor Liberation

Following:  We have to make sure that we are very strict in following True Parents and ensure that all of humanity will eventually follow our footsteps. In order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven after the year 2000, we have to enter as families, as Blessed couples.

We cannot enter the Kingdom of God without True Parents' grace. No matter how difficult your situation may be, you have to follow behind the Lord of the Second Advent. You have to follow completely. /IS MY TRUE SON'S DAY April 18, 1996

Apostle Paul

• 1962: I bear witness to the fact that the Old Testament and the New Testamentcombined are not sufficient to live by in the New Cosmic Age we have ascended into.To be saved, every man, woman and child must commence their mission before they leave this earth plane. And before they can do this they must find the reason for the original sin and what original sin is. Perfection and resurrection can only be achieved through work and that work must be done in the body, the spirit of Truth demands it.

… through the original sin none is righteous, NOT ONE PERSON. Rom. 3:10It means that all have a common guilt, a common sin.

Page 30: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Apostle Paul

Paul 9.11.2001 "I recognize the importance of human responsibility."

Now after learning the Principle, I became even more confident that the Apostle Paul's traditional view of God was very mistaken. We necessarily should have attended God, the resurrected Jesus and the Messiah.

Individual responsibility of 100% is of tremendous importance for God's providence.I promise to study the Principle and lead Christian believers here in the right direction. I have been making thorough preparation for accomplishing my assigned mission.

Page 31: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Da Vinci Code

Page 32: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

God wanted to have Jesus marry and have a home and children. Together with his children he could have expanded to a society and nation and world which was one family of God. Then the praise of God would have been heard from the entire earth; that sound would have echoed and resounded in the spirit world, and the spirit world and physical world together would have been joyful in celebration.

After the Messiah fulfills God's will, he will have a day of celebration and dancing. The Messiah will dance and the whole universe will dance with him. Even God will come down and be everyone's partner, dancing together. That's the way God wants it done on God's Day. /SMM 1 Jan 1978

Page 33: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Because Joseph took this kind of action the bible refers to him as a righteous man. It was God's desire that Zachariah, Elizabeth and John the Baptist surround and protect the Messiah no matter how difficult their family situation might be.

None of them wanted to protect Jesus. Zachariah, Elizabeth and John the Baptist all knew how Jesus was conceived.

They all were opposed to Jesus marrying their younger daughter. This family secret phenomena became the basis for the problem of incest. / SMM19 Apr 1996

Luther on Islam

As early as 1518, Dr. Martin Luther had identified the Islamic faith as the"scourge of God." *For the rest of his life Luther believed that the Muslims were God's punishment upon a sinful Christendom who had, among other sins (ingratitude, toleration of wicked sects, worship of the god Mammon, drunkenness, greed, and the split of Christendom which had provoked His wrath), tolerated the papal abomination. ___________________________________________________________

Say, "We believe in God, and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in what was given to Moses, Jesus, and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to God do we submit.“/WS1, Islam.Qur'an 3.84

Page 37: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

As discussed in the Principle, Ishmael, the elder of Abraham's two sons, could not receive God's blessing when Abrahams position a father of faith was passed to Isaac, the second son. Abraham had made a mistake in the sacrifice of birds and animals but through his determination to restore that mistake he offered his son as sacrifice. In the original dispensation, Abraham was to lay a foundation of faith after which Ishmael and Isaac would lay a foundation of substance. God's blessing would then have been given to Isaac and Ishmael.

DP and Islam

Page 38: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

As shown in the Principle, the church did not succeed in establishing a purified foundation for true parents in its first 400 years. Consequently, by the end of the fourth century Christianity could not be confined as the global Abel and therefore entered a long history of wandering in the wilderness of the fallen world in a prolonged providence. These shortcomings in Christianity meant that it could not restore the errors of the Israelites and was not able to embrace the Ishmaelites. Thus the stage was set for God to send Mohammed as a prophet to the Ishmaelites.

The Fall of Man is described in Sexual terms exactly like the novel (?) Divine Principle by Dr Sun Myung Moon

Book IX: Satan returns to Eden and enters into the body of a sleepingserpent. The serpent tempts Eve to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. She eats and takes some fruit for Adam. Adam realizes that Eve hasbeen tricked, but eats of the fruit, deciding that he would rather die with Eve than live without her.

John Milton Paradise Lost

1667

Page 42: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

At first the two become intoxicated by the fruit, and both become lustful and sleep together;

afterwards, in their loss of innocence Adam and Eve cover their nakedness and fall into despair:

"They sat them down to weep, nor only tears/ Rained at their eyes, but high winds worse within/ Began to rise, high passions, anger, hate,/ Mistrust, suspicion, discord, and shook greatly/ Their inward state of mind."

John Milton Paradise Lost

SpiritualVibration: Evil spirit World Good Paradise KoH True Love & God

Page 49: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

DP: Christ conceusness is a matter of mental warfare against the lower evil thoughts (vibrations)

• That’s why Jesus as Christ was controversial

• That’s why DP (Divine Principle) and LSA (Lord of Second Advent) are controversial!

Eph 6:12: “For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities (rulers), against the powers, against the world-rulers of thisdarkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

Apostle Paul instructs us to put on our spiritual armour because our battle in this world is a "spiritual" one. A warfare that involves the trickery and power of the devil, as opposed to a human battle.

Page 50: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

2000 year preparationProphecies

Dr. Young Oon Kim:

For me, Divine Principle's idea of the polarity in Godsounded like Swedenborg's idea of God's dual essentialities: divine wisdom and divine love.

Since man is a representative image of wisdom and woman is a representative image of love, there is need for them to have a reciprocal relationship. Isn't this like our Unification theologies emphasis upon the polarity of man and woman and the need for give and take?  

Swedenborg 1688-1772

2000 year preparationProphecies

Dr. Young Oon Kim:

There are two worlds, the spiritual and the natural. These are distinct, yet similar. Spirit world has trees, mountains, cities and societies, just as does the natural world.

2000 year preparationProphecies

Dr. Young Oon Kim:Swedenborg also corrects the traditional doctrine of the resurrection.Jesus' physical body was not resurrected. By overcoming the last trial -the crucifixion- Jesus was completely glorified.

He "made the very corporeal in Himself Divine." That is, he no longer had a human body like ours.

Swedenborg 1688-1772

Därefter så uppenbarade dom under en följd av år, ett enormt tidsschema som omfattade hela historiens struktur och mening, tolkat som ett komplicerat mönster av 2000-års perioder.

Tre år senare, så hade Yeats femtio anteckningsböcker fulla av nedskrivet material.

Han omarbetade dessa och publicerade det hela i en 300 sidors bok kallad "En Vision". ”A Vision” Efter att freden mellan västmakterna och Tyskland undertecknats i Versaillesfördraget den 28 juni 1919,så publicerade W.B. Yeats ett poem med titeln "Återkomsten" (1920). ”The Second Coming” (1920)

p. 66 The works and teachings of Christ will be difficult to accept for the christian world, but in spite of this still be accepted in the Orient.

He will be a World teacher and not just a christian teacher.

p. 69 "the time of decision", as it is called in hierarchical circles, was in the time of full moon in June 1936 and full moon in june 1945.

The time of decision covered only 9 years ( a relatively short time period);

and resulted in the decision that Christ should return or become visible on Earth as soon as possible, and much earlier that planned.

R. Steiner, Austrian

• Nature is like a huge life womb for Man• Life is like a plant, with the potential future budding inside of it.

• Comment: 1. Life in water = the womb 2. life in the air = Earth 3. life in Love = Spirit World

Page 60: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• Steiner regarded the same spiritual forces working in nature as in mans mind.

• Nature is all the time (naturally) developing its possibilities

Page 61: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• S. was greatly influenced by Goethes Colour-theory, "S: a total experience of the colour without the form“

• The internal and external are always in a rel. ship (compare Swedenborg “Law of Correspondence")

• Founder of Waldorf School

Page 62: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Goetheneum

Steiner founded The School of Spiritual Science, intended as an "organ of initiative" for research and study and as "the soul of the Anthroposophical Society"

Steiner believed that through freely chosen ethical disciplines and meditative training, anyone could develop the ability to experience the spiritual world, including the higher nature of oneself and others.

Page 63: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Goetheneum

Steiner believed that such discipline and training would help a person to become a more moral, creative and free individual – free in the sense of being capable of actions motivated solely by love.

He believed in equality of human rights for political life, individual freedom in cultural life, and voluntary, uncoerced cooperation between organizations of producers, distributors and consumers to provide solidarity in economic life.

Comment: Compare with Unfication Thoughts theoryof new Economics and Culture.

Page 64: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Goetheneum

Science has come to understand the distinction between the optical spectrum, as observed by Newton, and the phenomenon of human colour perception as presented by Goethe

According to Goethe, "Newton's error... was trusting math over the sensations of his eye."

Pre-Raphaelites. and J. M. W. Turner studied it comprehensively.

Page 65: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Goetheneum

Steiner describes Christ's being and mission on earth as having a central place in human evolution:The being of Christ is central to all religions, though called by different names by each.

Every religion is valid and true for the time and cultural context in which it was born.

Christ Second Coming would become manifest in non-physical form, in the "etheric realm" — i.e. visible to spiritual vision and apparent in community life

Page 69: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• Hitler; The book is a Satanic Bible. It is based on racial hatred and love of violence. Hitler wrote that God had given him the commission to eradicate the Jew and raise up a new race of men, "Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator by defending against the Jew; I am fighting for the Lord." Of course, the Lord is Satan who rules this earth. Hitler had total confidence in himself. He is a Satanic Christ.

• Archangel Russia; The following is a few notes about Archangel, Russia. In time, we will complete this section of the book. For now, we want to mention the amazing historical fact that Lenin's Red Army marched into the city of Archangel in February 3 days before Sun Myung Moon was born. Coincidence? The most evil, godless empire known to man was born 3 days before the Messiah was born. Three is the number of separation. Satan struck first with his evil ideology and its spokesman, Lenin. Three days later, God gave the world His spokesman for truth, Sun Myung Moon.

• Billy & Ruth Graham, I would like to tell the importance of a person who was born in 1920. It is the story of a girl born and raised in China. Her name was Ruth Bell. When she was 15, she was, as amazing as it sounds, living a few miles from the spot Jesus gave his mission to a 15 year old boy on Easter morning, 1935. By growing up in China, she learned to love oriental people. She was not corrupted by the West. By going to school in Korea she was groomed to be a bridge between the young, humble Korean messiah and the rich, powerful white nations. She would have been invaluable as a helpmate to her husband who would have to grapple with the heresy and the skin color of someone so different than the John the Baptist. Her acceptance of the young Christ from the East would have been as important as her husband's. Christians have been waiting for 2000 years for the return of Jesus. They needed Ruth Graham to help them make the jump to accepting what looked like a blasphemer of God.

• 1920 William Butler Yeats was one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. He and his wife were very interested in things spiritual. He published one of the most famous poems of the 20th century, The Second Coming, in 1920. There is no coincidence that he published this in the same year that Sun Myung Moon was born.

Rev. Moon is the Second Coming of Christ. Spirit world was working to prepare mankind for the new messiah,from the very day of his birth 1920!

Moon taught that Korea was the second Israel and that the return of Jesus would take place in Korea. But, he said, the return would not happen in either the spiritual or supernatural way that Christians tended to expect.He said that, just as the mission of the Old Testament prophet Elijah passed in the time of Jesus to John the Baptist, sothe mission of Jesus would pass to another.

Pyongyang in 1946 was still a dynamic center for Korean Christianity. Denominations which had been banned by the Japanese had re-established themselves. There were churches everywhere. Christians called the city the Jerusalem of the East. But the writing was on the wall, as the Soviet-backed authorities began breaking up Christian power.l

Hungnam after US bombing raids (Imperial War Museum, London)

"Weren't you hurt?" Pak asked Moon after it was over. Moon had been working in the area where empty sacks were stored when the bombing began.

"God said that no one would be hurt within a twelve-meter radius of me. While the bombing was going on, I was praying and communicating with the saints in the spiritual world," Moon replied. Pak, elated that they had both survived, began singing the 'Garden of Restoration' song.

After a body count, the guards announced that two hundred and seventy people had been killed during the raid. /The Early Years, 1920-53 - Michael Breen

Korea also became independent in 1948. However, Korea was liberated from Japanese colonization, in contrast to modern Israel's situation. Conceivably both countries may have become independent at the same time because the physical Israel inherited something from the spiritual Israel, Korea.

The fact that the Jewish people, who had been wandering for 2,000 years, found their nation, shows that all their sins had been forgiven.

Because Jesus' death was indemnified, mankind was able to receive forgiveness and the Lord of the Second Advent could come.

"Holy Spirit" here is not the same as the Holy Spirit

who is part of the trinity of God.

A more accurate translation would have been

"divine spirit"

because the first of the two Chinese characters

that make up the term,

"Shin" means divinity or God,

while the second character, "Ryeng,"

means ghost or spirit. Moreover, divine spirit is the way that the dictionaries translate the word.

Page 85: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

However, because the official translation has always been "Holy Spirit," it will be left as it is despite the obvious confusion.

But keep in mind that "Holy Spirit" in this section refers not to the third member of the trinity of God and that it is identical to the term, "Divine Spirit," which is used interchangeably hereto convey more accurate meaning.

The Korean flag is called taegukki. Its appearance symbolizes the principles of yin and yang in Oriental philosophy. The circle in the center is divided into two equal parts. 

The upper red section represents the ”positive” cosmic energy yang. Similarly, the lower blue section symbolizes, the ”negative” cosmic forces yin. 

The two forces together embody the concept of perpetual motion and balance and harmony that characterize the eternal realm. (KoH)

Page 90: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

The circle is surrounded by four trigram, one in each corner, from the ancient Chinese wisdom book I Ching 

Confucius and Lao-tse has commented on this important book of wisdom!

• *12 can be divided by 3.

• *As the key word for number 3 is harmony (at least outwardly), this implies that the number 12 will also contain within itself certain harmony. However, because we are dealing with the level 4 of spirit manifestation, this is a different kind of harmony, as it is connected with the cosmos. • *In other words, the number 12 implies some kind of a cosmic harmony.

• *Life is experienced (at least outwardly) as harmonious (12 is divisible by 3) and the individual feels his or her connection with the global plan for humanity and the cosmic karma.• *On a very high level, the person of the number 12 is able to withstand with

easy the intensity of very high vibrations, thus willingly cooperating and collaborating with the spiritual world on variety of earthly problems, which ultimately leads to the minimizing of their negative karma and impact on the people

Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed - we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.

This will be the day, this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty,of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!"

Mr. Moon reminded me that in the Book of Revelation there is a picture of the New Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down out of the heavens.

And there was a door on the east and a door on the south, a door on the north and a door on the west –and when the teacher comes, he always has to come through the eastern gate.

In the Holy City of Jerusalem there is an eastern gate long since sealed and blocked. It will never be opened until the new teacher comes. /Arthur Ford sitting 1965

The character of Unification Thought, (Godism)which is the philosophical systematization of this truth received as revelation by Reverend Moon, is described by Dr. Lee as:

A philosophical theory dealing with questions of being, logic, cognition, value, art, history, and practice; a theory assuming theological nature in that it deals with the attributes of God, creation, providence, etc.;

Dr. Lee 1973

Page 126: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Dr. Lee 1973

a theory of standards for settling actual problems; a reform theory which is aimed at restoration to the original world; a complementary theory which recognizes the truth in existing philosophies and theologies; a theory for cultural revolution which provides the basis for the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven; and the true liberation theory which aims to liberate all humankind from Satan and thus to liberate God. /Lee

Karl Heinrich Marx (1818 – 1883)

a German philosopher, political economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, and communist revolutionary, whose ideas played a significant role in the development of modern communism and socialism.

Marx summarized his approach in the first line of chapter one of The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." Marx argued that capitalism, like previous socioeconomic systems, would inevitably produce internal tensions which would lead to its destruction. Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, he believed socialism would, in its turn, replace capitalism, and lead to a stateless, classless society called pure communism.

Marx, April 18, 2002

I, Marx, affirm God's existence and that He is the Parent of all humankind. I denied God and shouted loudly with confidence to the extent that people believed me more than God.

Now I'd like to reveal my experience with God to the whole world. I felt that my theoretical paradigm was crumbling as I listened to the Godism lecture. At the same time my pride was damaged severely.

Page 129: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

When I listened to Godism, I thought it was a dream, but it was not. Then a beam of light came into my heart like a red-hot bullet.

I, Marx, have met God. I have found that He is the Parent of humankind. I have felt the greatness of God's love. I clearly convey to you who God is. He is the Parent of humankind. Reverend Sun Myung Moon, who is on the Earth, brought this fact to light.

The Divine Principle and Unification Thought express the original standards that open the way to salvation, so you must read them! . I ask this of you seriously. I clearly say that I apologize for my past to God and True Parents and love them and am proud of them. Marx, April 18, 2002

I. Comment on Evolution by Dr. Moon 1 Febr 1982

Many people believe that man came into being through an evolutionary process.This is an expedient explanation but it cannot actually be the fundamental one.

Even evolution must have had an origin somewhere. Did the animal become a human through an evolutionary process? Where is the origin of man's spirit, mind, and thought within the animal? Where did human thought begin in the evolutionary process? Did animals have any spiritual ancestors?

Evolution

Page 133: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

I. Comment on Evolution by Dr. Moon 1 Febr 1982

Does the amoebae, the beginning point of the evolutionary theory, contain theenergy necessary to propel itself forward into a higher form of being? If not, that extra energy must be supplied from the outside. Who is in a position to supply the energy necessary to make one object into another object? Observers of the phenomenon of evolutionary development do not try to figure out this question. They only observe the end result and call it evolution.

But if we look more deeply into the internal aspect, we conclude that there must be some additional source of energy besides the object which is

changing.

Evolution

Page 134: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

II. Comment on Evolution by Dr. Moon

Communism And Falsehood1. Evolutionism

For thousands of years, or hundreds of millions of years, has any energy been added to monkeys? Can the monkey have that kind of original

character? So we can conclude that, unlike the monkey, a great original energy hasbeen given to humans. The reason why an unchanging element, not changeable element, has been added into humans, is so they can becomea substantial object to the unchanging Subject. This logic is, right!

We have that kind of original character, which means that there must be a

Subjective real being who also has that kind of original character.

Comment & conclusion: God exist!

Excerpts from intervue of Sun Myung Moonby Frederik Sonntag

Moon: The Divine Principle is not a philosophy, not a theory; it is a principle. It is an unchanging truth of God.

Once that truth is revealed, then that principle must be lived, acted upon. At least a foundation for its accomplishment must be laid. Then Satan cannot invade.

When a person is completely united with the truth, then Satan cannot take him away from God.

1977

Page 141: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

For instance, if God and Adam and Eve had been completely united with truth, then there would have been no room for Satan to infiltrate.

Truth must become incarnate. It must be lived or fulfilled within a living person. (Jesus, LSA)Otherwise it can be taken away and misused by Satan.

This is why I do not reveal truth until the conditions are all met or the truth is embodied to a certain point. In a way then, the Divine Principle, this new revelation, is the documentary of my life. It is my own life experience.

The Divine Principle is in me, and I am in the Divine Principle.

1977

Page 142: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Who sees me frequently in their dreams? Sometimes you may find yourself crying when you are missing me. If you are out fund raising and all of a sudden you are struck with such love for me that you start crying and missing me, then a few steps ahead of you I will be standing there, even carrying the same kind of fund raising product you have and going ahead of you fund raising. This is happening all over, particularly in Japan. There are many mysterious spiritual things happening to our Japanese members, especially to those selling the marble vases door-to-door. All kinds of spiritual assistance are coming to them and other members themselves are completely flabbergasted at how much money they are earning. The secret is that God comes down and helps them.

Who Is He?by Sung Mo Koo

The Messiah down to earth in secret

The Korean Books of Prophecy

Online

1998

Page 150: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Introduction

For the last twenty years I have immersed myself in the many books of prophecy found in Korea. These books of prophecy, some thirty in number, appeared five hundred to one thousand years ago.

In a sense it is not an exaggeration to call Korea a nation of prophecies. Often called secret communications, prophecies have their human authors.

Page 151: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Nonetheless, as we delve more and more deeply into these texts, we come to realize that they are not created through individual decisions.

Rather, they are messages revealing the plans of the Creator, transmitted to the earth through living human beings.

In this book, I have selected seven major prophecies and treated as concisely as possible those parts relating directly to Korea and Japan.

Page 152: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

This is a perilous time of great change on the earth, a time unprecedented since the universe came to be. At this time I pray deeply that we will avoid the path ofdeath and find the path of life, entering into Heaven on earth and coming into the realm of protection of the heavenly God/Buddha. August 1998 Sung Mo Koo

Page 153: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

The Messiah. Then who is he? When heaven sent him down to earth in secret,his surname was Moon.

Born north of the 38th parallel, going through the suffering of prison life, receiving ridicule and rejection and giving matchings and the blessing of marriage to those who believe in God.

Page 154: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Who is he? Is he not the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, whom all humankind is to attend as the True Parents?All secret messages and prophecies are meant to testify to this very moment and to this hitherto hidden heavenly secret.

Oh, God! Oh, our protector! Thank you, we can only thank you!The Lord's Prayer…

In my own way, I was on a spiritual search. I hungeredand thirsted for the truth.

Then, one day, a letter was delivered to me. The senderwas someone with whom I was not directly acquainted, aMiss Young Oon Kim who "worked as a secretary in theKMAG chaplain's office, which was located in the same compound where I worked.

The letter's contents were quite short, saying only, "There is a place where they discuss matters that are important to human life. Would you like to go there with me sometime?

There was no blackboard available, so Miss Kim placeda white piece of paper on a table and wrote in large letters,"Principle of Creation.

In her extraordinary lecture that first evening, Young OonKim explained the hidden meanings of the Bible to me one byone. Her words were like the warm spring sun falling on theHan River, melting away the thick ice of winter without asound. She told me that these words represented the fulfillmentof Jesus' prophesy in John 16:25.

• are they agents from the North, or could they be acting under orders from the Soviet KGB? If so, then I'm a dead man for certain. If it's political, there's no way to get out of it. It's the end of the line for me! I have no choice but to face the grim reality.

• The driver shouted,"Blindfold him!" The youths promptly carried out the instructions, then pushed me down on the floor. They placed theirfeet on me and held me down with their shoes.

• At my Office: The one person most alarmed was Hak Ja Han Moon. She immediately telephoned Danbury, where Reverend Moon was incarcerated at the time.When he heard that I had gone missing, Reverend Moon immediately curled up with both knees underneath himand entered into deep prayer. I later found out that he was awakeand in deep prayer the whole time I was kidnapped.

• You've got two choices. Either you kill me, or you take my word andsend me to the airport. Make your choice.“

It took a little more than one hour to get to La Guardia airport. At the airport, the driver mumbled, "I'm very sorry,“ over and over again. It was quite a contrast from the day before, to say the least. When I left to board the plane, he kept saying, "Thank you. Please give it your best." He alsomanaged to bow a full ninety degrees. (In Korea, such a deep bow indicates deep respect or obeisance.) The next moment I was free.

Latin American heads of state expressed an interest in hearing an ideological response to Marxism.

Heartened by the genuine interest expressed by Latin American governmental, religious, and civic leaders, Reverend Moon established CAUSA International. The first nation to express an interest in the CAUSA program was Bolivia. The first CAUSA seminar took place there in December 1980.

POST-COMMUNIST ERA

Since the demise of the Soviet Union, the American Leadership Conference continues to hold seminars for state legislators and religious and civic leaders; however, their major focus is no longer communism but rather strengthening the family and ethical values.

Gorbachev with (many ethnical roots (maybe also korean roots!)

A melting pot of religions, Russia’s Stavropol region is home to 14 ethnicities, which makes its diverse culture truly unique.The Caucasus has been home to a multitude of ethnic groups for centuries.

Whether it’s a traditional Russian song, the serenity of prayer within an Armenian church, or even the simplicity of daily conversation around the dinner table in an Islamic home, the cultural, religious and ethnic diversity in the region is special.“There are Christians, Muslims and Jewish people here. We even have Catholics, but we try not to consider the religious differences. We consider ourselves people of our town who live together,” says Sultan Temirov, who is the head of the Cherkess Society in the resort city of Pyatigorsk.

Koryo-saram is the name which ethnic Koreans in the post-Soviet states use to refer to themselves. Approximately 500,000 ethnic Koreans reside in the former Soviet Union, primarily in the now-independent states of Central Asia.

There are also large Korean communities in southern Russia (around Volgograd), the Caucasus, and southern Ukraine. These communities can be traced back to the Koreans who were living in the Russian Far East during the late 19th century.

Written in a down-to-earth, familiar style, Ellanson’s book has a noteworthy rhythm. It leads the reader from amazing spiritual experiences to heart-stopping dangers he faced to joyful times to deep experiences of the Divine Principle, God, and the marriage tradition of the church. Lowell artfully weaves together all of these elements to create a volume that notonly fascinates but naturally educates any reader in the exciting basics of the theology of the Unification Church and the Marriage Blessing for which it is famous.

2010Lowell C. Ellanson

Page 191: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

I realized at one point that the 12 points that are mentioned in Understanding Marriage are all part of the Principle of Creation (in Divine Principle) – so I rearranged them into their rightful place within the PofC and then I could see what was missing from the course –

the section on Mind/body unity and the section on growth and the role of vitality elements. 

They come together as a whole philosophy when you understand that our mind and heart should embody the positions of a true parent, true child, and true brother/sister.

The 12 points are all part of achieving those three positions - If you fulfil all the 3 positions, you embody the 12 points and more.

Comparing Science and Human Love

Protective Parent (more masculine qualities + ve): Providing protective boundaries and rules, ensuring effective discipline, contracts, protecting the organism from outside threats etc

Nurturing Parent (more feminine qualities - ve): Offering encouragement, support, praise, growth, empathy, education, and a desire to offer yourself for the benefit of something larger 

Adult (Neutral): Making sure the work gets done, planning, problem solving, day to day running of the organism

Free child (Neutral): Creativity, ability to express needs, fun, laughter, celebration, honesty

Adapted child (neutral): Responds to requests, lives within rules, loyalty, respectful behaviour, sense of fairness

TF:You can tell people, "If you want to know about the Moonies, comewith me and live with us for three days. You will learn a lot."

Let them taste the water (spiritual) and taste the Divine Principle.

What is the power that makes you so strong and what makes youso sure that God's kingdom on earth can be a reality?

Let them learn about this. Divine Principle enters your body and cleanses it of all kinds of ingredients that clog you up. We call it Moon-wash. /Mainstream of the Dispensation of God Sun Myung Moon November 19, 1978 

Page 202: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• (“Moonies”) labeled in the violent 70’s

…(all) members of the Church in the 70s were very immature; the leaders of the Church were very critical and jealous of each others and they were condemning many members as Cains and Satan inspired.

Because of this condemnation of leaders such members were isolated from others because other members were afraid of being friends to Satan inspired members. And members were believing what their leaders said. In my opinion this kind of behaviour toward other human beings is irresponsible and really psychological terror. It can be considered a crime.

Loss of spirit

In outside jobs or physical missions in the Church you can keep yourselves constantly busy, and become highly skilled and highly admired, but Satan takes your spirit away.

So this is what Satan has done to man, and what Father is trying to restore and put back: the foundation of spiritual and principled thought.

Page 223: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Loss of spirit…

You are going to need this kind of guidance in your lives, i.e., thought consistent with a broader Principle.

The more ideal way, of course, would be to stick to one job, the longer the better, but there first needs to be the spiritual discipline and thought. Just working day after day for the sake of "bread winning" makes no sense at all. /SM840712

• Chinese 12 animal years: From Chinese tradition each year has an animal tradition. Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Cow, Dog, Pig

These 12 animal years have a subject and object relationship.

• Even the Greek Philosophy was created based on the principle of these animals. Based on the nature of these animals - characteristics were adapted to describe human life. If you look at the animal world carefully, there is a natural enemy, tiger, deer, lion, sheep and whatever there is always a subject object position. One dominates the other. /SMM Sept 27, 2003

• The center of that symbol is God’s essence, and that essence is true love. When we begin, we always like to draw the symbol with our hands. I want to ask you all to join me in drawing the symbol with our hands. We’re going to first draw the circle, that is, give and receive action, then the Four Position Foundation, and then receiving or inheriting the true love of God. Aju.

1970sCARP

Born on February 9, 1939, Rev. Chong Goo Park joined our church on January 20, 1956, during his second year of high school, and was blessed in 1961 among the 36 couples. His early missions in the church included serving as itinerary worker for a province and witnessing leader at the headquarters church in Seoul. In 1964, he set up a school to teach English and other subjects, receiving an award for his efforts from the Korean Ministry of Education five years later. In 1968, Father presented him with an award for outstanding work during the first seven-year course and six years later gave him the title of Rev. Park. During 1976 and 1977, he served as an itinerary worker for world missions in Asia, and from 1977 until his death of cancer in 1982, he worked tirelessly to build up CARP throughout the United States and, most recently, in Europe.

Tithing

We should understand that mind, body, and material belong to the public, but not without a purpose to it.

The purpose is to bring a total oneness between a subject and an object centered on God in order to have a right ownership. Then, we eventually come to own God ourselves. If we own God instead of material, not only shall we come to own everything, not to mention material, but also shall we become a perfect subject towards the material. /SMM 1/6/75

One of the main teachings of the Unification Thought is: Mine is yours, and yours is a nation's, and a nation's is the world's, and the world's is God's, and God's is mine. /SMM /6/4/72

Full BowMeaning

• First, it is a very symbolic act. You bow down with four limbs, meaning that you are standing on the four- position foundation. This bow also reflects the proper subject and object relationship, because, as you bow, you move from high to low, which symbolizes the vertical relationship between heaven and earth.

Belvedere ca 1980

Page 263: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• Stand naturally, not in a stiff way, with one foot slightly ahead of the other. The right foot symbolizes man and the left foot symbolizes woman. The right foot should go slightly ahead of the left, symbolizing also the subject

and object relationship between man and woman.

• Then, as you bow, all parts of the body come closer together, and this symbolizes how the four-position foundation becomes one.

Belvedere ca 1980

Full BowMeaning

Page 264: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• The head symbolizes God, and both arms symbolize man and woman and the relationship that they have.

• The feet represent earth.

• So, when we raise our arms to touch our head, this shows the subject and object becoming one with each other and one with God, then coming down to

be one with the earth.

Belvedere ca 1980

Full BowMeaning

Page 265: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• Even the face symbolizes this whole relationship. • The eyes symbolize God, • the nose symbolizes man and woman -- one but with two parts – • and the mouth symbolizes earth. • The eyes look out and see; this represents heaven. • 'Me torso’, the body symbolizes the universe.

Full BowMeaning

Page 266: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• The universe stands on the foundation of the four-position relationship. It's very appropriate to greet and respect God, and those who represent God,

in this way.

• In Korea (and Japan), this custom has existed for thousands of years. However, we do it, not because of the Korean custom, but because it coincides with the Principle.

This is the way children greet their parents every day, every morning.

Full BowMeaning

Page 267: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• This is the most proper way to show respect because it reminds us in a very meaningful way of who we truly are in front of God and in front of one another.

• This is also very important to Pledge each week, each month, and each year.

Full BowMeaning

Page 268: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• At these times, the man and wife, if they are blessed, should bow down in an easterly direction, because that is where the sun rises and this too symbolizes God. • The North is another direction you can bow towards because the highest point, the North Pole, is in that direction. Also, the North Star, which has been

the guiding point for mankind throughout history, is in the northern sky.

Divine Principle I.2.2.2:

Eve, having become one body with the archangel through their illicit sexual relationship, was in the position of the archangel to Adam.

Adam, by becoming one body with Eve, inherited all the elements Eve had received from Lucifer, in the same manner she did. These elements were then transmitted to their descendants... and mankind has multiplied sin to the present day, thus perpetuating the lineage of Satan.

Tang GamIndemnity

Because the providence of God's salvation is the providence of restorationthrough indemnity (Tang gam), that is, to let man, who has lost his value through the fall, regain it through a course which reverses that of the fall.

The fall occurred due to the fact that man did not fulfill his responsibility for growth.

It is necessary, therefore, to fulfill this responsibility by subjective determination(reject sleep, sex, food and welcome prayer, fasting, FR, witnessing)in order to return to the original self through indemnity.

Page 289: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Tang Gam

Throughout this course, man must be exposed to uneasiness, despair or suffering. Also, since the fall occurred due to lack of faith in God's word, man is askedto compensate for this by believing unconditionally. But this belief must not be a superstition. It is for this reason that the paradox of faith (being unconditional). But such a paradoxical faith is requested only until the Second Advent.

Page 290: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Tang Gam

Starting from the Second Advent, faith stands on the base of the new wordsof God; therefore it is no longer paradoxical, because the absolute truth isrevealed by the new words.

Thus faith until eternity is not necessary. After having restored the original self and the world compleely, through the Second Advent, we will not need faith nor prayer.

The right way to deal with sin.

1. Realization of sin. But this time first we must realize the extent of God’s forgiving love. If we don’t understand the forgiving nature of God, we have no place to take our sin. If we don’t let God deal with our sin then Satan will deal with it, and will surely use it against us to destroy us.

2. Guilt. True guilt leads us to the strong desire to take responsibility for our sins. We have realized how our sins have hurt God, how our sins have hurt ourselves. Guilt gives us the strength to handle the course of restitution under God’s love and forgiveness. Guilt brings us into submission, humbly before God. It brings us to the place where God can deal with us.

Page 295: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

3. Repentance. Now we can repent with all our heart! Why does repentance free the sinner from Satan? Because it is one thing that Satan cannot do! He is the father of false pride. Satan hates to hear the voice of the repenter, just as God rejoices (Luke 15:7) over the repentance of even one sinner.

4. New determination. Take up the cross and follow. Go and sin no more. (Based on their understanding, some explanation of the need to lay an indemnity condition or Tang Gam.) Now we must go the reverse way of sin. Instead of replacing the love of God with self gratification, we become the second self of God and Jesus by sacrificing ourselves for the sake and benefit of others. We connect to the true source of love by becoming a temple of God and letting his spirit dwell in us. As we connect to the true source of love, then our desire for false love (sin) will decrease.

We are free and have LIFE!

The UM Blessing of Marriage

Page 299: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Due to the Fall, all humanity came to remain in the realm of indirect dominion, disconnected from the realm of direct dominion. This resulted from Adam and Eve's failure to fulfill their portion of responsibility, and consequently the providence of restoration has been prolonged.

We have not understood this. What is it that we need to do in the realm of indirect dominion in order to reach the realm of direct dominion where we can be connected to the realm of God's love?

We must fulfill our portion of responsibility. /SMM (1976.1.31)

Page 300: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

What do the words "Principle of the Unification Church" mean? Why is it called the Principle? The purpose of the Principle is to show clearly the borderline between the realm of dominion based upon accomplishments through the Principle and the realm of direct dominion. /SMM (1986.1.3)

The realm of direct dominion is a place where Adam and Eve can participate together, united in love. Thus, the realm of indirect dominion is the realm in which their portion of responsibility has yet to be completed. When the portion of responsibility is fulfilled and Adam and Eve become husband and wife centered on love, God becomes the internal Father and Adam and Eve become the external parents. When these unite as the inner and the outer, the realm of direct dominion is established for the first time.

In this process, marriage is therefore absolutely necessary. You cannot enter this realm as a single person. /SMM (1986.1.31)

To humankind's great loss, communism raised its head during this century. Reverend Moon perceived that without overcoming communism, humankind could not achieve eternal peace.

He therefore revealed Unification Thought as an ideological alternative to communism, and established an influential organization, the International Federation for Victory Over Communism (IFVOC), on January 13, 1968.

Unification Thought Institute

The Unification Thought Institute was established on August 7, 1971, with the purpose of unifying religion, science and philosophy centered on the Unification Principle.

Its goals include overcoming and eradicating communism, and finally systematizing the God-centered ideal which will bring the Kingdom of Heaven on the foundation of a unified and harmonized human civilization.

Heung Jin Moon - from the book The Victory Of Love

Preface: One day in the beginning of 1984, on a somewhatchilly morning in Cairo, Egypt, I was having breakfast with Rev. Walter Gottesman. At the time, I was the International Itinerary Worker in Africa. Rev. Gottesman, an 1800 Couple, who was the missionary to Egypt,and I were seated at a table which was covered by very thick glass. All of a sudden, one corner of this glass cover cracked, and the line of the crack formed a small letter "h".

We had not put any hot dish on that corner; in fact, all the food we were eating for breakfast was cold. But when I touched the place where the glass cracked, it was very hot. Both Walter and I were certain that it was some kind ofspiritual phenomenon.

Soon after that, we received the sorrowful news of Heung Jin Nim's Seung Hwa. /Dr. Zin Moon Kim (visited Finland 2000)

The Importance of Prayer Reverend Sun Myung Moon April 15, 1979

Prayer is an absolute necessity. You may kneel down all the way to pray, but the most important thing is that you create an environment of commitment first. Unless your basic attitude is ready, no amount of prayer will be useful. In the Christian world today many people pray every day, but do you think they pray to destroy the Christian churches? No, they pray for prosperity, but the churches are crumbling nevertheless. Do you pray for the sake of the Unification Church? You don't have to pray for the Unification Church; pray for the big things: the nation, the world, the liberation of God. What you are really doing then is praying for a cross even bigger than the Unification Church.

Prayer

Page 322: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

A Life of Prayer, April 15, 1979 Prayers of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon.

The most important thing in prayer is the attitude of the person who is praying. The most essential thing is your commitment to go forward without reservation. If anything wants to block you, you have to be decided that it will never stop you. Unless you have that commitment first, God will not waste His time trying to help you. He has always been deceived in history, so what God needs to see is proof of what you are and how strong your commitment is. You may tell God you are totally committed, but He will shake His head and think, "I have to wait three more years and see." If God sees that something isn't quite right in you, He will wait before sending down His help. God needs to be sure.

Prayer

Page 323: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Do you think I made a commitment to God that I would never change, not for fifty years or the rest of my life? I prayed first for the absolute faith which could say, "Even if not a single person in this world can believe, I will believe and follow in whatever incredible course You give me." Second, I asked for absolute knowledge and wisdom. Third, I asked for absolute love.

Prayer

Page 324: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

In order to fulfill bigger things you need an adventurous mind and be willing to take risks.

Then God will tell you not to worry, that He is right behind you. If you throw yourself into overcoming the stone walls and persecution before you, God will take up your battle for He knows who is just and who is unjust.

But first God will watch, giving you a chance to knock your opponent down with your own capability. This is the same thing a father and mother would do. If you come running to God to ask for help before you even confront your enemy.

He, like any parent, will be ashamed to hear you and will send you back out again. Create a good problem: be a heavenly troublemaker instead.

The power of prayer

The younger Rev. Hyung Jin Moon had wondered what the real power behind his father’s success was. He was sure it was due to the power of his prayer life and he suggested that his audience study Jesus' teaching on prayer.

Matthew, Chapter 6 records Jesus giving The Lord's Prayer, and Rev. Moon suggested that he was not simply teaching his disciples a prayer to recite by routine, but was giving his disciples a pattern or formula for prayer.

After asking everyone to say the prayer with him, Rev. Moon noted that it started with “Hallowed be Thy Name,” then “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done." We needed to first praise God, then pray that His will be done. A relationship with God was a gift and could only be effective on God's terms.

After we have started this way, we could pray for "our daily bread" and to be forgiven and able to forgive others, and not to be led into evil, he explained.

2. From 1960 TF and all members prayed

3. From 1999 we pray in our own Holy Blessed names…Aju! (IMN In My Name)

"Aju" means "My Lord" in Chinese characters.

Used instead of "Amen"

Prayer

Page 328: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• On September 14, 1999, Rev. Moon opened the era in which blessed families could pray in their own names [i.e. conclude their prayers by offering it in their names]. At the time of the commemoration of the 14th True Children’s Day on October 27, 2000, he established a new format for the prayer ending.

4. On New Year’s Day, 2001, he instructed that our communication with God should be in the form of a report rather than a prayer.

Prayer

Page 329: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

• As you all know, whenever we pray, we end with the word Aju.

• It’s important to understand the meaning of Aju. It is from Chinese characters. The character for Ah is for me, myself, or my. It can also be possessive, mine. Then Ju is the character for lord or owner.

So every time Unificationists pray and say, “Amen, Aju,” what we’re saying in Aju is that we’re praising God, saying, “My Lord.” It’s very important to understand how we end our prayers and how we can understand what Father Moon has guided us to report to heaven. /HyJN

Prayer

Page 330: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

He also taught his listeners that people often thought of God as a vending machine, to be kicked a couple of times if the candy didn't come, but that didn't work.

And, he asserted, Father Sun Myung Moon's heart and teaching went even further: after praise, he prayed for the world, nations, others, before self.

Prayer

Page 331: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

He had once been in an airplane in the middle of a violent storm (S. America small plane) and started praying "save me, save me", but then he remembered he had recently given a sermon on prayer, and that this was not the right way to pray! He started praising God, and the fear went away.

We needed to pray not for what we wished but to trust God. Our lives would change if we came before God in the way He expected.

History: According to the lunar calendar, March 16, 1960, is the date of our True Parents' Holy Blessing. This was also the day Father created and used Holy Salt for the first time.

He used it to sanctify the church hall before the ceremony, and taught its importance at the meeting he held afterward.

After the ceremony, he distributed Holy Salt to those in attendance. He asked those individuals to pass on Holy Salt to members throughout the world.

Biblically the number 7 = earthly perfectionExodus 25:37 And thou shalt make the lamps thereof, seven;

and they shall light the lamps thereof, to give light over against it. 

Page 337: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Comment from Christian tradition:

We have a priest that does the blessing with the exorcism prayers.

Not many priest do that anymore. He also does oil and water at the same time.

I carry a small amount of salt and water with me all the time. we have used it in motel rooms and on camping trips. When I know we will be in contact with someone who is confrontational about the faith I bless myself and the kids. I have slipped all three into whatever I am cooking, especially when it just seems like the devil is making my house crazy with little spats and tiffs. I never use it without also saying a short prayer also.

Oh and to avoid vacuuming it up I place it in corners where the vacuum doesn't reach. I have even slipped it into the holy water font at Catholic Churches that have lots of abuses.

Holy Candles drive away Satan and there are several kinds that we will not enumerate here. Their creation, use, and bequeathing is the subject of an elaborate and detailed ritual. Families will store their “seed” candle by which they can sanctify more candles and matches for their own or others’ use.

1. Shimjung Candles 2. Birth Candles 3. Ae Chun Candles

Holy Candles

Page 340: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Significance: Shimjung Candles* have the ability to diminish Satan's power. As they burn, the spiritual atmosphere changes, becoming more pure and holy. When we use them, we comfort God's heart. He recognizes that we are striving to become His true sons and daughters and to help Him ultimately to fulfill His original will.

History: On January 5, 1966, True Father gathered the president and nine regional leaders. of the Korean church and, after explaining their significance, bequeathed one candle and one box of matches to each. Father referred to these as Shimjung Candles.

1. Shimjung Candles Holy Candles

Page 341: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Significance: According to the Principle, blessed children should be born in a godly environment; during this period of restoration they are still born in impure, ungodly environments. The use of these candles makes a condition for a holy environment to be created during the birth of the blessed child.

History: The Birth Candle tradition originated at the time of Ye Jin Nim's birth. After the 36 Couples started married life, True Father be- queathed one Birth Candle and one box or book of Birth Matches to each couple. Since that time, they have traditionally endowed Birth Candles to other couples.

1. 2. Birth Candles 3.

Holy Candles

Page 342: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Holy Candles

Significance: The English translation of Ae Chun Cho is Love of God Candles, referring to the love that God has for humankind. Unlike Shimjung or Birth Candles, Ae Chun Candles are a pair of candles. One is referred to as a "Father" candle and the other, a "Mother" candle. As they represent the harmony and love of the True Parents, these candles must always be burned together. The candlelight is a symbol to ward off all satanic infiltration; it gives a spiritual shield of protection from Satan.

God and True Parents are present each time the Ae Chun Candles are lit. As Father began this tradition with Mother, when we light the Ae Chun Candles we are allowed to share the tradition of our True Parents. Whenever these candles are lit, the authority of true love is present. The speech which Father gave at Belvedere on May 20, 1984, in which he explains the significance of the Ae Chun Candles, was published in the August 1984 issue of Today's World and is excerpted below.

Holy Robes

Holy robes The design of these white garments was given by a medium, who said they are the customary dress in the Kingdom of Heaven. They “symbolically purify us externally.” Their design and use is highly prescribed, although in recent years their use for holy days is diminishing.

Page 345: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Images Pictures of True Parents and True Family serve as protection, like the blood on the Hebrews’ doors that spared them from the angel of death. By them, with our sincere faith, angels and good ancestors protect the home. A church flag fulfills a similar function.

Holy Pictures

Page 346: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Holy Pictures

True Father is quoted as saying:

From now on (1984), we are going to stress the value of carrying my picture. Without the protection of God, I could never have survived the untold hardships and difficulties I have faced. So for anybody who carries my picture from now on, it will serve as protection for them. At the time of the Jewish Exodus, God sent a plague upon the houses of the Egyptians which killed all their firstborn sons. All the houses which had the blood of the lamb on their doorway were spared that tragedy.

Page 347: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Holy Pictures

Therefore, the Israelites were spared. By the same token, isn't it possible that during some modern-day calamity, those who are carrying my picture would be spared? That is the way the spirit world looks at it.Now that Heung Jin Nim has passed into heaven, the spirit world is intervening more and more with worldly affairs. So those who are carrying the True Parents' picture will unquestionably be given protection by angels and good spirit world. If you could open your spiritual eyes, you would see the same kind of phenomenon occurring even now, here in this room.

That is why we have the motto of 1-1-1.

Each member should restore at least one spiritual child per month. This is the essence of the standard for the restoration of the world.

• If your religious life declines, then you will have absolutely no assistance from the spirit world, and eventually, you will have no relationship with the spirit world, either.

• It is essential for you to seek spiritual assistance whenever you gather together.According to the principle of creation, the relationship between the spirit world and the physical world is like the relationship between parents and children.

• Without three spiritual children, you cannot stand in the position of having complete support from three archangels; your position remains in the fallen realm and you are liable to Satan's claim at any moment. • Also, the three archangels should attend Adam and Eve for three years, in such total unity that they would sacrifice everything to see the day of your Blessing.

• When that three-year period is over, Adam should receive God's approval and say to the archangels, with God's heart, "Please let me receive the Blessing with my spouse-to-be, since I have grown to maturity." This is the principle of the Unification Church. It is logical that you cannot receive the Blessing without three spiritual children; it is absolutely impermissible.

• Whoever becomes married without three spiritual children will remain in the fallen realm.

• Why did three wise men from the East visit Jesus at his birth? As the minimum condition for Jesus to be connected with the standard of the world, men of high spirit came and offered gifts to him.

These wise men were the ones who had longed for the Savior even before Jesus was conceived. Once they found out about his birth, they sacrificed everything and traveled any distance so that they could attend him. The appearance of the three wise men from the East is in accordance with the Principle.

• Even Jesus, who was followed by three main disciples, had to walk this path, regardless of life or death, because of this principle of spiritual children.

• Since people have not comprehended this principle so far, Satan has been dominating this world, bringing all things of creation into disgrace. In order to restore an archangelic realm, spiritual children should love Adam and Eve, who are spiritual parents, and their child, even when it is still in the mother's womb. /SMM 13 May 1983 Single-Mindedness at the Risk of Your Life July 8, 1973

Question: What are the requirements and qualifications for a person to be blessed in Marriage? What are the requirements for already married couples?

Answer: To be blessed, you need be a pure virgin or a bachelor.That’s the first requirement. But this is not enough.

Since we are all fallen we need to go opposite direction first to be restored.You must first find and lead spiritual children.

You must guide and teach three people to a level where they also can receive a blessed marriage.

Then you yourself can receive a blessed marriage and be their spiritual parents.

This is eight restored people, representing the eight members of Adam and Noah's family. Then you must restore all things, the whole world to God.Noah's eight family members performed the Judgement and renewed the entire world to God.

You must create a victorious foundation in the satanic world. God must recognize you as the victor in this world, "Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and have dominion over all things." These words must be fulfilled by you.

For the already married people: Because marriage in the satanic world is not recognized by God, the man and woman must go their separate ways as brother and sister. /TF 1965

Controversials:About Homosexuality from 224 speeches

Homosexuality is unnatural, against God's law of creation. Homosexuals are growing in number, they bring the question of Homosexual rights even to the Congress. Then can we leave things as they are? (No!) Or do something about it? What shall we do with this problem? We will try to persuade and convince those people. But if they don't listen to me, or listen to us, what would we do? Shall we beat on them? (No.) … /SMM 750307

Where is your enemy? Our real enemy is the internal enemies of drug use and tree sex and immorality,plus the infiltration of evil ideologies such as homosexuality. /SMM 800221

Universal law when people grow up, they naturally seek the opposite sex for companionship. This is the natural way for remedying loneliness. if everyone in the world were to live as homosexuals for one century. All humanity would simply cease to exist! Homosexuality is a satanic force which is exactly opposite universal law. It brings destruction rather than creation. /SMM 820919

Page 371: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Controversials:About Homosexuality contin.

Men and women who practice homosexuality may feel strong sensations from

that, but it has no resonance in truth; ultimately it is hollow. But when two people experience true love, it resonates throughout the universe. There is a special feeling in a room when husband and wife are there together; it creates a natural atmosphere of love. While a deviated experience may be comentarily exciting, an icy cold feeling of despair and destruction follows it. True love has a warmth and a fragrance unknown to deviated love.

What is the mission of the spirit world? They are the assistants or supporters to make this world right. Spirit world is assisting in God's program. American culture today is centered upon sensational and physical experiences such as drugs and promiscuity. Furthermore, there is a growing subculture promoting the perverted sexual behavior of homosexuality and lesbianism. They are trying to make it legitimate. These things have their roots in a satanic origin and the American culture is buying it, absorbing it. Satan's love culture is an evil love culture. Satan is promoting it and America is buying it./SMM 820919

The problem is not with me or the Unification Church, nor with the Principle. Many abnormal things are being encouraged, including homosexuality and so forth. Even if you research and study forever, you will not find that kind of relationship in the animal kingdom. Only human beings have that kind of problem. /SMM 870823

A phenomenon of America for the past two decades has been free sex, with promiscuity, wife-swapping, blatant homosexuality, and so forth. Now the consequences of such practices are being seen in the form of widespread divorce, as well as the spread of diseases like AIDS, which is incurable. Why is that disease incurable? God always has mercy upon man, except for this one cardinal sin against love. /SMM 870823

Ingredients: 21 What is inside the holy wine? It has an ingredient that symbolizes parents’ love. Also, it has to have something in it that symbolizes blood. Accordingly, when you drink that, you become one body with parents’ love and one body with parents’ blood. Then how is the holy wine made? It is wine which is madefrom ingredients that symbolize the earth, the seas,and heaven, and that symbolize the whole cosmos.

In the holy wine there are three kinds of alcohol. Besides that, it has an ingredient which symbolizes all things.The fact of drinking this means that one is being born spiritually and physically.If this ceremony did not exist, original sin could not be removed and the lineagecould not be converted. Without converting the blood lineage, one cannot become one body with God’s love by passing through the standard of perfection.The holy wine ceremony is the ceremony which indemnifies all of this.

3 Day CeremonyOnly for 1st Gen.

The Spiritual Basis Of The 3-Day Ceremony's Procedure

During the first two days of the Three-Day ceremony, the woman is in the position of the "Bride of the Messiah" and "mother" to her spouse. Therefore, she initiates each part of the ceremony.

Through the ceremony of the first day, the man is raised from his position of archangel (being reborn as the son of the Messiah and his wife) to the position of sinless Adam in the formation stage.

Through the ceremony of the second day the man is raised from the position of "Newborn Adam" to the "Adam before the fall" position.

Each part of the ceremony of the third day is therefore initiated by the man in his position of Adam. The man takes the leadership role to restore dominion. Through this ceremony, they become one as the eternal ideal couple and husband and wife.

Holy Songs

Significance

Holy Songs are an important part of the Unification life of faith. Even though a congregation may come from various religious backgrounds or have different daily schedules, people can more easily feel united centering on Holy Songs.

Although they are usually sung during prayer, Pledge, Sunday services, or meetings, it is not unusual to hear members sing or play them when alone or even in small groups.

Page 390: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Holy Songs

Purposes

Holy Songs actually have several purposes. Whenever members gather and sing Holy Songs, the environment can change and unity can be generated. Satanic power diminishes; the spiritual atmosphere of the gathering can become clear, pure, and godly. When members sing Holy Songs, they often feel more purified internally.

Whether one desires to become more joyful or more serious, Holy Songs can help one to focus upon finding a deeper relationship to God. Holy Songs, therefore, are very important in preparing the atmosphere.

History

The tradition of the Seung Hwa Ceremony for blessed members was taught by our True Parents after the death of their son, Heung Jin Moon, on January 2, 1984. World level Seung Hwa Ceremonies for Heung Jin were heldboth in Tarrytown, New York (Belvedere), and Seoul, Korea (the Little Angels School).

Even though many funeral ceremonies have been held for members of the Unification Church, it is only because of Heung Jin Nim's sacrifice for True Parents that the tradition of the Seung Hwa Ceremony could begin.

Originally, this could not have been begun until the True Parents went to the spiritual world. Yet based on Heung Jin Nim's dedication and organization of the spiritual world, blessed members can now receive the foundation of the Seung Hwa Ceremony.

Number 40: Examples include: Noah's forty-day flood judgment, Moses' forty-day fasts, the forty-day mission to spy out the land of Canaan, Jesus' forty-day fast, and the forty days of the ministry of the resurrected Jesus.

Numerology3,4,12,40 …

DP Quote: To understand how the number forty is fulfilled in the growing period, we must first study the significance of the number ten.

If we divide each of the three stages of the growing period into three sub-stages, we arrive at a total of nine levels. Herein lies the significance of the number nine in the Principle.

As a numerical unfolding of the dual characteristics of the invisible God, each of God's creations passes through the nine levels of the growing period. Each then fulfills its purpose of creation when it becomes one with God in the realm of His direct dominion, which constitutes the tenth level. For this reason, we call the number ten the number of unity.

4 Position Foundation x 10 = 40

In the four position foundation which Adam and Eve should have established, each position was to pass through the ten levels in their course to maturity, fulfilling in total the number forty

Case in point is the mysterious existence of myths obviously describing precession in the ancient verses of the Kalevala, the Finnish National Epic. These myths were relayed from the earliest times by way of singers. 

Many of these stories are thoroughly magical and are filled with sky lore. The Finnish language is not of Indo- European origin and up until the late 19th century peasants in Finland and northwestern Russia had little contact with Europe. Indeed, their heritage suggests more contact with Central Asia than Europe.…

2012 • Kalevala, Finnish national epos

…Some of the Kalevala stories describe a sacred Mill called the Sampo (derived from sanskrit Skambha = pillar or pole) with a "many ciphered cover". 

This spinning Mill is a metaphor for a Golden Age of plenty and the starry sky spinning around the Pole Star (known as the Nail of the North), which in the Far North is almost straight over head. The Mill at some point is disturbed, its pillar being pulled out of itspeg, and a new one - a new "age" - must be constructed. This becomes the chore of Ilmarinen, the primeval smith. In this legend, ancient knowledge of precession among unsophisticated "peasants" who were nonetheless astute skywatchers, was preserved via oral tradition almost down to modern times.

Other predictions were about dramatic changes in the Earth's surface in the period of 1958 to 1998. The cause of these he put down to a tilting in the Earth's rotational axis which he said would begin in 1936. 

The first sign of this change in the Earth's core would be the "breaking up of  some conditions" in the South Pacific and "sinking or rising" in the  Mediterranean or Etna area. Cayce forecast that, by the end of the century, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco would be destroyed. 

He said that "the greater portion of Japan must go into the sea" at this time, and that northern Europe would be "changed as in the twinkling of an eye." In 1941, Cayce predicted that lands would appear in the Atlantic and the Pacific in the coming years, and that "the coastline now of many a land will be the bed of the ocean.

Ancestor Liberation:

With deep gratitude for Heavenly Father and True ParentsI like to share my testimony On Saturday the 3rd of December 2011, we welcomed home our 210 generations of blessed ancestors of 8 lineages.Present were our daughter Christabel and her husband Robert, Petra’s cousin Monika, and Petra and myself.

Page 453: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Ancestor Liberation:

The whole week before the event we prepared ourselves and our home to welcome our ancestors.We made a beautiful poster. we bought roses in the exact colour of the poster: pink and we prepared food from the regions our 8 tribes were coming from: Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Far East.

Page 454: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Ancestor Liberation:

At 1 pm exactly we started our ceremony to welcome our blessed ancestors.We bowed, recited the Pledge and then Petra prayed.And it is during her prayer that I could see the spirit world around us.

Please look at your Blessing ring. There is a centre and this centre was an altar with beautiful offerings. I could see exactly the same dishes on the altar which we had on our altar, just a lot bigger.

Page 455: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Ancestor Liberation:4 plates filled with food (1 plate for 2 tribes), chopsticks and fork as well as four glasses of water.Above the altar, in the air, was True Parents’ picture. It was multi-dimensional. Where ever you stood around the altar you could see the picture. And above the picture was the a huge “ball” of white sparkling and translucent energy. It was God in all His might.

Page 456: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Ancestor Liberation:The whole scene was overwhelming. I looked again and I saw (please look again at your Blessing ring) 4 huge lines of ancestors. two of our tribes together, coming from the 4 corners of the ring, representing East and West, North and South.Interesting was also that the couples we recently blessed were at the front, closest to the altar.Our whole little flat was packed with our ancestors, so was the compound of surrounding flats, the gardens, the parking area and beyond.

Page 457: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Ancestor Liberation:210 generations of ancestors of 8 lineages are altogether 1680 couples.As they were standing facing the altar in the middle everyone was praying.When Petra finished her prayer we sang Tongil. The ancestors joined in.I looked at our blessed ancestors who usually wear white Holy Gowns, now they were wearing golden robes.The atmosphere was highly charged.

Page 458: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Ancestor Liberation:At the end of our introduction to the ancestors and to over 20 collateral couples (many we knew personally) we raised our glasses, when I heardvery loud, harmonious and powerful music. It was the music when True Parents enter the room for a Blessing ceremony.

When we gently shouted “welcome home our ancestors”, everyone of the tribes had a glass and cheered.

Page 459: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Ancestor Liberation:As we were also celebrating Christabel, Robert’s and my birthday we had 3 cakes and Baklava sweets. Everyone likes sweet things, including our ancestors.My wife asked me every hour till we went to bed “what are they doing now?”. the answer was always the same. They were still talking and they were still eating.

Page 460: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Ancestor Liberation:You may ask, can we feel a difference since our blessed ancestors came home. Yes, we do. There is an atmosphere of giving and receiving. Not individual giving and then someone receives. No, it is like a constant and it seems never ending flow of spiritual energy and love.

Our biggest concern is, that we have the capacity to receive all this Heavenly Fortune our ancestors brought with them. Philip Hill 3.December 2011 in Shaw

The Age of Hon Dok HaeIs completed and perfected. /TF

What does that mean:By doing HonDoHaeWe can make our Spirit Man grow to perfection.

Page 467: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

Because God created Man with His words, we fail with the loss of God's words.

By reading God's words daily, our spirit man can grow and finally can become perfected.

By this you can understand the importance of Hoon Dok Hwe.

Page 468: Unification Church Symbols & Traditions Introduction

This declaration here is a signed contract between Heavenly Father and Father, not just a declaration.

When Father said this, God's guarantee was behind it. Father is not just saying it, but it is approved by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Father guaranteed this.

Therefore if we do Hoon Dok Hwe as Father is emphasizing, results will come. /Yong Whi Kim

All of a sudden, something in the form of a soft light appeared at the foot of my bed. It did not speak and I was not afraid, but I had a strongfeeling that it was a spiritual manifestation of Jesus. I believed he was trying to tell me something, but I wasn’t sure what it was. After the vision faded, astrong conviction came to me that this “appearance” was a confirmation that the revelation from Sun Myung Moon, which I had been studying, was notfalse prophecy or heresy, but a new truth from God!

Think of the last 2,000 years in which we just had the Bible. Now with True Parents, we have the path to Cheon Il Guk clear ahead of us, and the foundation that True Father has given us is his word.

There are three core books in preparation that are a summary of Father’s words: • the Cheon Seong Gyeong, • Pyeonghwa Gyeong (Peace Messages) and a third • the Champumo Gyeong, or True Parents life story
