Love, Live or Lineage? There is nothing more important to us than love, life and lineage. But among these, which do you think has the most value?... Sun Myung Moon, “God is Our King and True Parent (V.1)” May 8, 2001, Canaan Baptist Church, Harlem, NY at:

Love, Live or Lineage? … Many people think that it is love. However, no matter how valuable love and life are, they are horizontal in nature. They appear and conclude within one generation. On the other hand, lineage is vertical in nature and continues forever, generation after generation.

The Fall of Man

Did God Create Human Beings to be Conflicted?

God is only good ! God is a Being of Peace and Harmony, not the origin of human conflict.

…but human beings are conflicted.

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.” Romans 7: Double Mindedness: Good & Evil

It is easy to do what is wrong, to do what is bad for oneself; but very difficult to do what is right, to do what is good for oneself. Dhammapada 12: but the mind often flies from what it knows is right and chases after evil reluctantly. Majjhima Nikaya 4-35, Culasaccaka-sutra Teaching of Buddha pg. 46 ‑ Double Mindedness: Good & Evil

42 “... But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you… God knows, and you do not.” Quran 2:216 Double Mindedness: Good & Evil

43 … the mind is the best of friends… [or] the mind will remain the greatest enemy. Bhagavad Gita 6:6 Double Mindedness: Good & Evil

…but human beings are conflicted. Where did Evil come from? Where did Evil come from?

The Process of the Fall F.N.

Fallen Natures Archangel’s Four Fallen Natures 1.Jealous Not loving from God’s viewpoint. 2.Confused Leaving ones proper position. 3.Revengeful Reversing the order of authority. 4.Unrepentant Multiplying evil. 53 F.N.

Unprincipled Happiness The attitude of the AA was, “I want my own happiness and joy more than anything else; I’m even willing to violate God’s principles to get it.” 54 F.N.

The Process of the Fall F.N.

The essence of true love is to cast aside any thought of having others live for one’s self; it is to live for the sake of others and give for the whole. Love gives, but then forgets even the fact that it has given and continues to give without ceasing. This is a love that gives in joy. p. 214 Principled Happiness

God’s Painful Heart Do you know what has pained God’s heart most, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage. And with the loss of His lineage, He lost His right of ownership. Inaugural Address of the Universal Peace Federation, September

The Principle of Restoration

The family is the space in which God’s ideal is realized and the place where we can see the completion of God’s work. God’s will is to bring about a world in which love is made real, and the family is the place where God’s love overflows. The Family & World Peace In As A Peace-Loving Global Citizen, True Families Create True People, p. 214.
