Message of Peace |
We long for peace, yet our world remains plagued by war and conflict.
Daily headlines are filled with reports of violence from every corner
of the globe - between nations, within communities, and even in
families. While some despair that genuine peace is possible, still
the yearning for peace burns within the human heart.
Efforts to end conflict and build peace have always been frustrated
and fallen short. It is time for a fresh approach that addresses the
most fundamental issues and root causes.
A compelling and unique "message of peace" is now being shared around
the world in venues big and small - from large arenas to small
neighborhood meetings. Authored by the Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon, this
message reminds us that there is an internal dynamic at work in our
lives and in history, and clarifies our personal role and
responsibility in the unfolding of God's plan for the human family.
The following excerpts provide an overview of some of the central
themes addressed by this profound "Message of Peace":
=B7Peace cannot be achieved through
human effort alone.
"Throughout history, peace movements inevitably reached their limit
and ended in failure because they were carried out by imperfect human
beings. This is why the United Nations, although launched with the
splendid dream of realizing world peace, today has to admit its innate
limitations and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity.
This is simply because the UN was launched during the era prior to the
time when God could directly govern the unfolding of His providence in
history."
=B7The model for genuine peace is found
in the ideal family.
"When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all
men and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they
become owners of true love. Then what was the quickest way for them to
cultivate a character of true love? Simply put, it was to secure a
parent-child relationship with God, whereby they could live in
attendance to God as their Father and form a model family embodying
God's ideal of peace."
"The family sets the pattern for living together in harmony. It is the
model for living together as one. There we have love and respect
between parents and children, mutual fidelity and love between husband
and wife, and trust and mutual reliance among siblings. This means
that you need to establish a true family wherein the stem of true love
emerges from the root of true love and bears the fruit of true love."
=B7Families of true love begin from individuals of Godly character.
Purity before marriage and fidelity within marriage are essential to
such families.
"For people to perfect themselves in resemblance of God and obtain the
stature of people of character who can be called sons and daughters of
the Absolute Being, they must follow the path based on the absolute
standard determined by Heaven. The essence of this path is the
standard of absolute sexual morality."
"Husband and wife are eternal partners given to each other by Heaven.
Through having children, they become the co-creators of true love,
true life, and true lineage, and the original source of that which is
absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. This is because it is a
heavenly principle that people cannot give birth to children by
themselves, even if they live for a thousand years."
"Only within the boundaries of a family upholding absolute sexual
morality is it possible to create relationships based on an ideal
model of sexual ethics for life as it originally should have been."
=B7All people can genuinely be part of the "human family" when God is at
the center - when connected to God's lineage.
"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. With it, God lost the basis of human brotherhood
and even His ownership over the creation."
"The parent-child relationship is the highest and most important of
all relationships, and the model, lineal relationship between parent
and child is the only way through which God's lineage can be
bequeathed and made to last forever."
=B7All people should live with an awareness of spiritual reality - that
the choices we make and the way we live have lasting consequences.
"Though it cannot be perceived by the eyes in our physical bodies, the
spirit world is the automatic and inevitable extension of our lives on
earth, humankind's eternal, original homeland, created by God."
"The spirit world does actually exist. It is not a world that has been
fantasized or imagined into existence. We do not have the right of
choice concerning it. It is not a world we can go to if we please or
refuse to go to if we would rather not. Just as God is eternal and
unchanging, the spirit world He created is also eternal and
unchanging."
"Whether you are bound for heaven or for hell is determined by your
thoughts, speech and behavior in each moment."
=B7The peaceful world of God's ideal is a world of true love, beyond the
boundaries of nation, race or religion.
"Then what is true love? Its essence is to give, to live for the sake
of others and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that
it has given, and continues to give without ceasing."
"Heaven is a world filled with the air of true love, where all breathe
true love. Its life throbs with love, everywhere and all the time. The
citizens of heaven are all linked together through their common
membership in God's lineage. There, the whole world and all its people
are linked together in an inseparable relationship, like the cells in
our bodies. True love, the love that is God's essence, is Heaven's
only governing power. Accordingly, God also exists for true love."
"In God's sight, skin color makes no difference. God does not
recognize national borders. God does not stand behind the barriers of
religion and culture."
"We need a movement to realize a society of interdependence, mutual
prosperity and universally shared values. We need to make humanity one
great family, by breaking down the walls in our hearts and eliminating
even the boundaries between nations. This movement begins from one
family. Therefore, each of us should bear in mind that it is our
providential calling to form and establish a true family. It is the
way we can advance the establishment of the cosmic peace kingdom on
earth."
=B7Now is the time when our human effort can be joined with God's power
to realize a world of true and lasting peace.
"You are now advancing into the era of liberation and complete inner
freedom... The present time...corresponds to the era, prior to Adam's
Fall, of building the original ideal world. It refers to the era of
true love that is all-encompassing, all-powerful and has overall
authority... It is the era of the kingdom of peace and unity in heaven
and on earth."

Absoluteness, Peace and the Ideal Is the Family and Global Kingdom
Upholding Absolute Sexual Morality" by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon. To

Your right! Matter is what matters.
Can't you just imagine that first eye ball that came into existence?
First it thought... "Let's see... there is going to be an atmosphere... so
I'll need a ducting system for moisture to keep from drying out, and
lids to help clean and protect me. I'll need some lashes to help keep
the dust away and eye brows would be good to help channel the sweat
away."
We've been giving to much credit to creative design when the slugs and
bugs of the prehistoric past got it all figured out on their own.
