4. The Four-Position Foundation (True Parents)

1997. 7. 31

1) What is the Four-Position Foundation?

The Four Position Foundation means a foundation where a subject and an object are united and multiply their children centering on God. Human beings who are created as children of God based upon His purpose of creation and who are supposed to follow His ideal of 'subject and object' should grow up within the sphere of God's love and fulfill the ideal of creation God originally intended.

However, Satan became the dominator of this world. So, the ideal world can be built when the world under the Satan's dominion is restored and completely turns into under the dominion of God. God has been looking for the human beings to build Heaven on earth through His providence of restoration. Therefore, when the people on earth come back to God's bosom, the eternal 'Kingdom of Heaven' in spiritual world centering on God will be built.

2) True Parents of Heaven and Earth

The ideal world God wanted to build became evil world due to the human fall, and the process of 'history of restoration' got entangled. The history of restoration is supposed to untie knots of resentments and sorrows in history one by one, and by doing so, the world should be under the dominion of God. A master who should end this providence of restoration should come to this world, and from then, it can be started to build Heaven. The one is True Parent.

The 'History of Salvation' for humankind initiated by True Parents has greatly contributed to the development of human history. Through this fundamental providence, a eternal ideal world can be settled down here (spiritual world). Since True Parents who are now in physical world are True Parents not only for physical world but also for spiritual world, they are the masters of eternal Sabbath of spiritual world and they are the masters of the ideal Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, spirit men in all different levels have lived with the hope of the day when True Parents come to the spiritual world and build the ideal world. The spirit men in high level know the coming world of hope, but spirit men in low level don't know how such a scary world of punishment will change. For them, there is no hope and no waiting. There is only continuous pain and suffering.

Therefore, if there are many earthly men going to hell, the spiritual world will be complicate, and the True Parents have to put more efforts and their suffering will be longer after they come to spiritual world. Even if the external blessing looks like given freely, the destiny of earthly men bounded to go to hell will change. So, let's become a pioneer who build the eternal world. That's the way to fulfill our filial piety. Therefore, completion of the 'Four Position Foundation' is the completion of the Kingdom of Heaven. The completion of the ideal Kingdom of Heaven is to show our filial devotion to True Parents.

5. The Ideal of Heaven (The Gateway Of Heaven)

1997. 8. 7

1) Heaven

Heaven is the place where people who received recognition as God's children gather. They are the owners of Heaven. Ideal Heaven is realized by those who live for the sake of others, not thinking or behaving for themselves. What is the proper behavior in Heaven? In Heaven, people's behavior is motivated by their humble attitude not by someone else.

Is there a fence in Heaven? It is not a place where someone asks you to come or go out. It is not the place where someone makes an order. Rather, it is the place where people act by knowing and feeling God's breathing. There is no class in Heaven. There is no such level that someone is higher or lower than others. This place doesn't care about people's social position. The one at the highest position and the one at the lowest position are united into one with their loving each other. In Heaven, there is no such a gruesome scene of earth where the lower washes his hands in invisible soap in front of the higher. Therefore, the one who accomplishes the ideal of Kingdom of Heaven is the one who knows God's ideal and the one realizes God's fundamental will and lives following it. Also, the laws of spiritual world is very strict. Examination is strict like computer. The earthly men should try to live looking forward to living in the ideal of Kingdom of Heaven.

2) The Principle of Relativity and Ideal Kingdom of Heaven.

The principle of relativity can be explained through the principle of 'give and take action'. The meaning of the 'give and take action' is not only to give and take well. They also should know whom the action is centered on. A subject and an object shouldn't pursue their own ideals centering on themselves. They should realize that it is the right guide to ideal of heaven toward God when they live in the direction of which a owner of the such a fundamental power pursues through the circuit of 'give and take action'.

The subjective force in the principle of relativity is generated when it is for the sake of its object, and the objective power is generated when it is for the sake of its subject. These forces are the fundamental forces of the principle of relativity, which direct the forces to be forwarded to God. I'd like to say realization of heaven is the main issue of the 'principle of relativity'.

3) Gateways to Heaven

There are many gateways until you enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Heaven is the garage where you collect all your fruits of your life. Here, they measure the weight of your bundle and see how much award you can get. In other words, they compare the weights of the Good and Evil.

What was your earthly life? 1) Was it for God? 2) Was it for yourself? 3) What were your view of world and view of country? What did you leave on earth? These things are taken into consideration. Other than the fact that there are so many such examinations, they examine your life in full detail. It is like a water finally coming to your dinner table after sterilizing and filtering so many times since it is collected from a river.

It is not done in the way that a guard asks you and takes you to a certain gates. I myself, go to this gateway and that gateway like being attracted by a magnet, and pass each of the them. The pain when you get to a certain gateway and you are rejected because of your sins is beyond description. It is so shameful and fearful.

There are so many levels at each gateway. There are much more places than heaven, paradise and hell as discussed on earth. Then how could we go to heaven safely passing all gateways? If there are some gateways you cannot pass due to your sins, you will spend a certain time of indemnity (based on the condition of God's special blessing, achievements of your descendants, prayer, offering, service, and so on.) Spirit men are waiting for True Parents to come to spiritual world and to build new standard of passing of each gateway. I am really worried that there will be more work for True Parents.

6. Formation of Four Position Foundation and Dual Characteristics (Ideal Of Unity In Love)

1) Formation of Four Position Foundation and Dual Characteristics

Four Position Foundation is the core of the divine principle, which says a couple should be united centering on their love and multiply their children. However, the formation of Four Position Foundation reviewed in spiritual world is much more exciting and mysterious. Four Position Foundation means a husband and a wife are united and multiply their children centering on God, but when they are in love and united with each other, there is no distinction between a subject and an object. They completely become one body. More than that, God's love covers their love, so the only visible thing to us is resplendent light. The beauty itself is the only thing that can be seen.

2) Ideal of Unity in Love

Then how does the children's love look like? The children's love become a unity just like a couple' love does so. Being differently explained, it is the time when parents and children are united into one with their love. In other easy words, they are distinct three people, father, mother and a child, but they don't look separately when they are united in love. The unity could be seen as father's figure, mother's figure, or children's figure. However once they start to talk to each other, they look different three people, again.

The formation of 'Four Position Foundation' means that if we are united centering on God, we will be one body with God. If so, it doesn't look like there are four status of existence (including God) as it is seen on earth. Therefore, a couple united with God live just like they are forming one body even though they are two different people. This is how the spirit men at top level look like. However, a subject and an object who are not united with each other don't look embodied into one. God's resplendent light cannot be seen, either. The only people who pass the all gateways to Heaven can achieve such unity. Therefore, the basis of the Four Position of Foundation is that a dual characteristics called a couple is embodied with their love for God. That is, the Four Position Foundation is God's fundamental purpose, and it is the foundation of fundamental power (love) for God where He can exist and operate the world with the power (love).

7. Universal Prime Energy, Give and Take Action, and Principle of Relativity Reviewed by Principle of Dual Characteristics. (Oh! My Dear God) August 4, 1997

Dual Characteristics' means the figure of created world that resemble God's characteristics. These characteristics are given by God. The fundamental force of it is 'Universal Prime Energy' and 'Give and Take Action' is the action between these two forces. Then what is the 'Principle of Relativity'? When a subject and an object do 'give and take action', the force of 'Give and Take Action' (Universal Prime Energy) makes them give and take with each other. In other words, this force is like the one attracted by a magnet. Divine Principle describes this the utmost fundamental energy as 'a subject consisting of the dual characteristics, or universal prime energy or give and take action. However, the origin is same. It can be simply said and understood if we say 'God's fundamental energy'.

The fundamental force of seasons' change (spring, summer, fall and winter) is not formed by human beings. Like this, the original force of all energy used by the created world and human beings stems from only one force given by Him. We cannot explain the fundamental force that is described in many ways in Divine Principle. That is the energy of existence of the eternal God. That is the energy of God, my Father, who is sole creator of humankind. God is the master of the spiritual world, which is unlimitedly wide, which our reason cannot understand, which we cannot see all with our visual sense, and which you cannot grasp or explain. You cannot describe God no matter how you study Him. He is the One who cannot be described nor explained with our senses or emotions.

I, Sang-Hun Lee like logical reasoning and analysis, but God is the master of the eternal light that cannot be divided nor analyzed. God is the One who runs the providence and leads people profoundly with His resplendent light.

2) Oh! My God

I thought I could analyze God if I came to spiritual world. However after I came to spiritual world, I am just full of admiration for its huge scale, and my expectation to analyze the spiritual world sounds stupid. 'My God, pleas forgive this son. You are the One cannot be compared with anything else in anywhere. The value and existence of You is the one and only, Heavenly Father. There is no other way to express my feeling other than 'Oh! My God, Oh! My God, Oh! My God, Please forgive me'.

Therefore, one who tries to analyze and study God is the most stupid person. The wisest man only says 'My Heavenly Father' and thinks the fundamental source of all energy is the expression of the Heavenly Father's prime energy, which is explained in Divine Principle.

8. Human Structure based on Subject and Object Relationship (Life for the Spouse) August 4, 1997

1) Human Structure

In light of human structure, a man isn't supposed to live individually. He/she is supposed to live for the subjective/objective existence. When a subject and object perform give and take actions well and become one, God can work on the foundation and they become the ultimate object of joy of God. Most of people are living with thinking that they simply live for themselves. However, living individually does not agree with the original Will of God. For that reason, a person pursue a single life is not filial child of God and is one of the people who are ashamed in the spiritual world. If the human structure was to live single, God's creation with highest intelligence would be called failure.

2) Life for the Spouse

If a man is the God's ultimate creation, the man should possess an element which God desires. It is the heart with which a man can't help care for the spouse. Therefore:

a) Double structure of external appearance (needs the object)

b) Internal character is formed with the heart of caring the object

Fore example, it can be examined by the shapes of sexual organs (reproductive organs). A man is supposed to live according to the direction (to live for others) given by God. If a man goes against the direction, it will be a crime in front of God and he will have no home in the spiritual world as a man is not supposed to live on earth forever. He will be lost there. For that reason, a man should appreciate the value of life given by God and live a life to serve God and others.

9. Medium of Love (Human Perfection) August, 4 1997

1) Man is the Center Of Love

As a man has double structure, he should be the center of love to be completed in front of God. In other words, a man was created by God with highest intelligence not like other creation. For that reason, a man should become more valuable existence than other creation. Because of the fall, a man could not do that and he must fulfill his responsibility as a true son with following the direction to go back to the original position. What does it mean? The creation is simply made by God. It's value is merely to offer its beauty and growth to God.

2) Man is Medium of Love

God has provided a value of love to a man, which other creation doesn't possess. The love can't be generated by single existence. It's value can emerge when a subject and object are united and become one. A man, which is a medium of love, becomes the center of love and he leads God to the ultimate joy being qualified to be a true son. For that reason, a man should be the medium of love to offer the ultimate love to God and leads God to His joy. A man should reach the standard of value that God provided. A man should do his best to live his life in order to make God joyful. For that, a man should love with his object. They should become one to be His children returning glory to God. It is the perfection of a man.

10. True Love (Luminous Body)

August 7, 1997

1) True Love

True love is the original love which was lost in the garden of Eden and which we try to find in order to live with God. It can be call true love only when it's standard of value is centered on God. There is no true love without God. Because Adam and Eve didn't offer the first fruit of love to God, God and men have lived in sadness as parents and children. Because the first fruit of love is taken away by Satan, God had to work in order to take back the first one again. However, since countless seeds of sin are planted on the earth already, God is working to collect the pure grain from the separation of empty heads of grain after the harvest of fruit of sin.

In here, God needs the strategy of bringing back the first fruit that was taken away by Satan. This is the indemnity condition. Since True Parents came to the earth, this formula has finally been solving. This is because the ultimate purpose of God restoring the providence is to seek the lost children. Humankind must realize the origin of True Love and return the True Love back to God. Only those who have been selected through True Parents' standard of rebirth (Blessing) can appear as True Children of God. For this reason, those who had not passed the procedure of Blessing are not qualified to be the first fruit.

In order to be guided to God by the original True Love, the couple who received the Blessing from True Parents (in other words, the Blessed couple) must love each other, multiply children and establish four position foundation. True Love is the sight of a couple becoming one, the parents and children becoming through loving each other centering on God.

2) The Appearance of the True Love is A Luminary of the Light

In the spirit world, the appearance of the True Love radiates as a perfected appearance (it is an incredible bright luster). The light of a luster at this time can be seen as an appearance of children and can be seen as an appearance of parents. The original luminary of the light is the true incarnation of True Love, and the True Love that God has given to us. If a husband and a wife cannot become one, and children cannot become one, the light of True Love cannot be radiated completely. In general, we image the True Love as a love of agape that we give and receive eternally. However, True Love is that established the four position foundation of complete oneness centering on God.

Therefore, those who have not reborn (who have not received the Blessing) cannot join the line of True Love. Also, they are those who do not have ticket to come to the Kingdom of Heaven (spirit world). Everyone must do ones best to participate in the line of the Blessing.
