5. Introduction
Everyone is struggling to attain happiness and
avoid misfortune.
From the commonplace affairs of individuals to the
great events that shape the course of history,
each is at root an expression
of the human aspiration for ever greater happiness.
/Intro Divine Principle

6. Introduction
• Why we need to know about the issue of eternal life
Why are families in this world being destroyed?
Why are mothers, fathers and children becoming
enemies? It is because there is no true love.
The most important thing is eternal life,
but people do not know that the spirit world exists.

7. Introduction
If you knew clearly that you live for eternity, you
would not commit a crime even if others told you to.
You would not live for yourself even if others told
you to.
Without knowing this, whether you believe in
Christianity or any other religion, you could never go
to heaven, God’s ideal world.
You cannot go there without investing
true love and life.

14. Analogy: Life in the Physical Body is like bicycling
You are the Spirit Body, not the bicycle (Physical Body)
You need it to get far and fast (spiritual development)
Once you discard the bike (die)
It takes so much longer/slower to travel (develop spiritually)
You can borrow another bicycle (returning resurrection)
but now you are two people on the same bicycle = slower!

15. The path of faith is not preparation for life on earth
but for that in the eternal world.
People having this conviction can take care of themselves.
As people pass the ages of forty and fifty,
and the day of their death draws closer,
the more serious they become about the issue of eternal life.
The older they get, the more serious they become.

16. Physical Life
Spiritual Life

17. The standard of original nature, as it was before
the Fall applies fully before the age of sixteen.
Since the years leading up to the age at which Adam
and Eve fell were unaffected, the standard of original
nature remains intact.
Therefore, you should acquaint yourselves with God in
your adolescence.
In so doing, you will realize your inseparable relationship
with Him.
For this to happen, the concept of eternal life needs to
be implanted.

18. If only this were done, our second generation in the
Unification Church would go no other way,
even if we told them to.
Therefore we must save the world quickly and bring
everybody to the heavenly nation.
The result becomes your possession.
Your rank in the other world will be determined
according to the number of people you bring in there.
That is why heaven is completely empty now.

Parents Earth Heavenly
Parent

22. Your first parents are the parents who gave birth to you.
Your second parent is planet earth, this earth.
The earth supplies you with all the essential elements
for your physical growth.
The earth is the second parent of your physical body.
Through the second parent, you return to
your third parent which means our physical death.
However, you cannot go to the third parent as you are.
In order to return to the third parent you have to resemble
God, who is the original parent.

23. Since man and woman are the divided expression of
God’s dual characteristics, they have to unite as one
body, become like seeds and return to God’s position
of original character.
However, because we must go the way of love in order
to be linked to that seed, we must be born in love,
set love as our goal while growing, live centering on love,
and walk this path in order to return to love.
You will go off in the wrong direction unless you follow
the path centering on the goal of living for the sake of others.
/SMM 1986.1.19

24. How long do you think you’ll live?
Everyone probably thinks they’ll live up to
the age of about seventy or eighty;
they don’t think that they’ll die before then.
You just want everything.
Even though you may believe you’ll die when you’re
eighty or a hundred, there’s no knowing if you’ll die
tomorrow or even today.

25. You may think because you’re young, you will live at
least another forty to fifty years.
You may want that.
Did God guarantee that to you?
You should think that you might possibly die soon,
perhaps within a year.
Therefore, you should make all preparations during
this short time.
You should live with such thoughts.
The shorter the time you think you have,
the happier you will be, and the less you have to lose.

26. Your sincere preparations during this time become
the building blocks of your home for your eternal life.
Have you ever loved God with such a short time in mind?
You want to become one with Him and love Him,
but you can not.
God says to you, “Love Me!”
If you die after having lived this way, then you will become
the master of eternal life.

27. In the future, only a religious ideology can lead this world.
Regardless of the frequently changing circumstances and
ups and downs we face in life, as long as we maintain an
absolute concept of eternal life, nothing would be a problem.

28. People should live together with the universe during
their life. ‘
Even though life is short, amounting only to about one
hundred years, it does not just disappear at the end of
one’s life.
Once you overcome that boundary line, you can continue
to live in a transcendental realm and go beyond the
bounds of the global village that once defined our limits.
/SMM 1987.4.17

30. Ultimately, human beings must return to eternal life
You should dissolve the anguish of the Fall by establishing
the way of True Parents’ love, this new wave and tide,
and establish a family of true love over which God can reign.
Only then can you go straight to heaven.
The rails of God’s Kingdom on earth and in heaven must
be the same.
A train can run only when the rails are the same.
In the same way, the rails on earth and in the heavenly
world must be the same.

31. Everything a person does in his lifetime is permanently
fastened to his rear end as a record of his performances
done for the sake of true love.
Thus, when a person goes to the spirit world, he naturally
comes to dwell at the level corresponding to the meritorious
achievements he left behind in his lifetime.
/SMM 1990.12.30

32. If a large ship sailing across the ocean faces the danger
of destruction, the rats inside the ship try to escape
to dry land.
Even though they are nothing but small animals,
they can distinguish which is the right way to take and
go in that direction when faced with matters of life and death.

33. How would it be in the case of human beings who
should be the lords of all creation?
Why have they become the way they are?
It was because of the Fall. How will you remove the
mask of the Fall or free yourself from
the devil’s love, life, and lineage?
To free yourself means to break away from something.
It means to completely break away from and stand in
an autonomous position with no relation to Satan.
/SMM 1991.2.6

34. Artist
Benny Andersson

35. I intend to have the Unification Church members go
through many hardships.
They do not run away even though I make them go
through hardships.
Why do they not escape?
It is because they know there is eternal life.
The reason that they cannot leave the Unification Church
is because there is eternal life.

42. True love and eternal life What is true love?
When you marry, you want your marriage partner to
be better than you are.
All parents wish for their children to be better than they are.
Who do they resemble in this?
They resemble God.
God wishes for His object of love to be better than He.

43. Human beings were to observe, administer and lead
the universe from a lofty and exalted position.
They were not to be dragged around and made to obey.
Your mind, a liberated mind is like that.
No one wants to be controlled.
This is equally true for everybody.

44. Once you acquire the position of true love,
you can go freely to God’s position and to His throne
in the heavenly nation.
You can become God’s friend.
God created humankind for the sake of love.
Therefore, since God is eternal and absolute,
human beings have eternal life themselves.
We automatically come to this logic.
For this reason, true love is eternal.
To attain eternal life, you must live in that realm of true love.
/SMM 1990.12.30

46. What is true love?
It requires an investment of more than all of one’s life.
True love cannot exist where such investment is not made.
It materializes from a place where an investment greater
than one’s life is made.
Without true love coming into being, eternal life cannot exist.
This is because you were all born from satanic blood,
from Satan’s lineage.

47. Hence the biblical injunction,
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and first commandment.”
What does this mean?
It means to love with all your heart and with all your will
and with all your life. This is the First Commandment.

48. The Second Commandment is,
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
What does it mean to love your neighbor as yourself?
It means to love with your life.
You have to invest your whole life.
You have to invest your whole life because otherwise,
first, you would not be able to make Satan surrender
and second, you would not be able to free yourself
from satanic circumstances and third,
you would not be able to rid yourself of the satanic lineage.

49. Even if you are able to free yourself from satanic
circumstances, there is nothing you can do about
the satanic lineage.
True love goes beyond life.

50. Who is to be the owner in your home?
One who lives one’s entire life for the sake of the whole
family will be the central figure representing God and the
parents.
One who has a hundred friends and lives for their sake
during one’s lifetime will earn the respect of those hundred
people and will be their center.
So an owner who eternally lives for the sake of others
in the eternal world will be the eternal owner.

51. That person is God.
Incidentally, God is our father and therefore He
declares that He wishes to be together with us
and the entire universe.
There eternal life can be found.
Eternal life does not exist in any other place.
The scripture, “He who seeks to gain his life will lose it,
but he who is willing to lose his life for my sake will gain
eternal life” means that you have to overcome death.
Without overcoming death you cannot truly live.
/SMM 1990.9.9

53. King James 2000 Bible
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
you shall not eat of it: for
in the day that you eat thereof
you shall surely die. Gen. 2:17
DAY = same D A Y!
After Seth was born,
Adam lived 800 years
and had other sons and daughters. Gen 5:4

54. Regardless how we interpret the 900 years
still Adam & Eve, existed,
breathed heart pumping, eating sleeping
AFTER the Fall.
Clear conclusion:
The Fall did not effect the
Biological corruption = Aging…
of the human BODY!

55. And then no need for dead bones either at
the Resurrection = to bring mans SPIRIT back to LIFE.
Like a ripen fruit falls from the tree
NEVER to return to the same tree (human physical body)

57. The providence of resurrection is the providence of restoration,
and thus the providence of re-creation. Thus, the providence of
resurrection is carried out in accordance with the Principle of
Creation (p. 138):

84. Leave a tomb of love behind
What will you do in your life?
Let us leave a tomb of love behind!
You may get tired of living in a place like a tomb, but will
feel no bitter sorrow if you live in love.
If we leave a tomb of love behind in our lifetime, our life will
be a success for eternity.
If you live like that and die, God will bring His sons and
daughters to welcome you in the spirit world.
God will dress you in the richest apparel fit for the royalty
of the Kingdom of Heaven. /SMM 1978.3.12

85. What must we undergo in the restoration process?
By recovering from the satanic world many sons and
daughters whom God can love, your meritorious deeds
will be linked to your ancestors and serve to liberate them.
This is the greatest gift you can obtain in the course of
restoration.
