Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han 1976
You who are living during the last days, when you must dissolve the sorrow and pain caused by the fall, must now represent God's heart. Thus, we must grieve in place of God, who has grieved and received pain for 6,000 years. We must receive beatings and endure pains, ourselves, instead of God. We, human beings are placed in such a position in the last days. However, most humans have no comprehension of this. You should know this is why Heaven has unfolded the dispensation in the name of "Heaven's judgment," while at the same time, shedding tears and crying out for humanity.
Where is the path you can go that avoids judgment? It is not a path where you cry holding onto your bodies or over your own pains. You must know the pain of God, who has been bearing a much greater pain in order to save you. You must recognize that God's sorrows are greater than your sorrows; and His agonies are much greater than your agonies.
You must deny everything about yourselves, and then dissolve all the pains that penetrated deep into the heart of God, as He guided history from behind the scenes. Today's humanity is destined to be wandering around in search of such a self who can carry out this mission.
Viewed from this standpoint, in order for fallen humans to break out of their miserable selves, what must they do? What can move your mind and body and all physical materials that you own? That is the Shim Jung of perfect love. Therefore, you must become a person who can sense that your spirit loves your mind by holding it close, and that your mind loves your body by embracing it, and that your body loves all creation by holding it. Such a person is the very destination and terminal point for which humanity has been searching.
However, no one could feel the fact that his mind loves his body by holding it close -- even though everyone has a mind -- or that his spirit loves his mind by embracing it. Although God loves our spirits, our minds and our bodies by holding them, there was no one who could feel and appreciate this fact.
If God loves and embraces your spirit, your spirit loves your mind, your mind loves your body, and your body loves all of creation, your Shim Jung would then be unified. In such a world, the Shim Jung that loves all creation will be connected to the body; the Shim Jung that loves the body will be connected to the mind; the Shim Jung that loves the mind will be connected to the spirit; and the Shim Jung that loves the spirit will be connected to God. This is the terminal point which humanity must reach.
There is no one who grabs hold of you and asks, "Do you know what your mission is?" Yet, while you are not aware of it, there is a Being who stands in your way and reminds you what you should do in your life by asking questions, such as "Who are you?" "Where are you going?" or "What will you accomplish?" But, you did not realize this fact.
Humanity lost God's love due to falling. Losing God's love caused all human lamentation. Therefore, human history has been a historical course of lamentation for the lost love of God. Do you understand that?
God's love is the foothold to the eternal ideology of the heavenly kingdom that will enable the building of the substantial heavenly kingdom on earth. However, humankind lost God's love, the ideological foundation of the eternal world, because of the fall. Because humanity lost this love of God, God had to walk away from humanity. Thus, God's love, which can build the heavenly kingdom on earth, has gradually become more and more distanced from man.
