God’s Nature Chapter 4

Why can’t we See God? God is invisible. There are things we cannot see with our physical senses. Eyes: Only Visible Light (Not: X-rays, radio waves, etc.) Ears: Cannot hear ultra sound wave. Things that are more precious are invisible (air, love, etc.) 2

All this visible universe comes from my invisible Being. Bhagavad Gita 9:4 4 God’s Nature in Creation

“Since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, in the things that have been made…” Romans 1:20 5

God’s Nature in Creation “Verily, in the alternation of the Night and Day, and in all that Allah hath created, in the heavens and the earth, are signs for those who fear Him.” Quran 10:6 6

God’s Nature in Creation “As fragrance dwells in a flower, and reflection in a mirror; So God dwells inside everything; Seek Him, therefore, in your heart.” Adi Granth, pg 684 7

God’s Nature in Creation “Buddha manifests his body in immense size to cover all the sky... He also manifests Himself in the infinitesimals of nature… Amitayur-dhyana-sutra (T. of Buddha, pg. 108) 8

God is the Original Body of the Principle Heart 10

Why Can’t we Feel God? 1. Because of the nature of oneness. ① Heart beat, blinking eyes, breathing. ② The smell of one’s own stool on the toilet. ③ We don’t feel air pressure (plastic bottle at 14,000, 9,000 & 1,000 ft.) 2. Because of the Fall. ① We lost our spiritual sensitivity. ② Our environment is so immorality. 11

Peace Message #1 Do you think that when the omniscient and omnipotent God created our first ancestors, He secretly reserved the highest position for Himself and made them to be only second best? We cannot imagine that God would do that to His children, to His partners who share absolute love with Him… con’t. GOD’S IDEAL FAMILY AND THE KINGDOM OF THE PEACEFUL, IDEAL WORLD – I, at the founding of the Universal Peace Federation on September 12,

Peace Message #1 … As our eternal True Parent, God invested Himself 100 percent in the creation of human beings and endowed us with the right to equal status with Him, to participate in His work as equals, to live with Him, and to inherit from Him. God bestowed upon human beings all of His attributes. GOD’S IDEAL FAMILY AND THE KINGDOM OF THE PEACEFUL, IDEAL WORLD – I, at the founding of the Universal Peace Federation on September 12,

We should “see” God in Other People Our nobility, dignity, divinity, absoluteness of individual character comes from God. God’s Nature 14

Why is God our Original True Parent? Children are formed through their parent’s love Children are complete substantiation of the parents. They are formed belonging to their parents. They are formed for their partner (either boy of girl). They are formed to live eternally (spiritual world). Masculinity is subject  we can call God “Father.” 15

Father ① All beings exist because they have parents. ② Couples need children to become parents. Husband Groom Brother Wife Bride Sister 16 The Greatest Desire of Man is to Become True Parents Mother SonDaughter

Purpose for Man’s Creation ① To take dominion over the physical world. ② To experience love substantially. (Love is felt and experienced through an object-partner.) ③ To multiply children of Goodness. 17
