00:00

Speaker A

Yes. Hello, everyone. Yes. Can you hear me well? Yes. I’ve set up a monitor here to see all of you. Sometimes, while I’m lecturing, I need to look at the camera, but when I want to see your faces, I will look over here and

00:20

Speaker A

continue together. Yes. I would like to offer my congratulations and thanks to everyone who came to the True Parents lecture today. Today’s True Parents lecture, well... It is based on a ten-lecture series recently created by the association. We will use that as a

00:41

Speaker A

standard, but there are parts that need to incorporate the existing lectures by professors, as well as the Divine Principle. So, you can think of it as learning about the True Parents by combining those contents together. I think that’s how you can look at it.

00:55

Speaker A

Yes. Without further ado, before I begin the lecture, I would like to briefly introduce myself. Some of you may know me well through the life course education in September and October, especially last month, but since there may be some who are seeing

01:15

Speaker A

me for the first time, I have prepared a short self-introduction. When I introduce myself in a fun way, I sometimes use this story. Once upon a time... There was a Christian pastor.

01:31

Speaker A

That pastor had two beloved disciples. One of the disciples was a man and the other was a woman, and they were the same age. He would take them along to church revivals, and they were the type of disciples who would diligently

01:50

Speaker A

follow him, pray, and receive training; and looking at them, the pastor thought, "They seem to be a good match." So, in terms of our Family Federation, since they looked good together, he essentially matched them up. He suggested they meet, and after they

02:11

Speaker A

talked and got to know each other, they realized they were great people; they fell in love, got married, and the pastor even officiated the wedding.

02:26

Speaker A

Those people are, well, they are my parents. Yes. So, my parents met in a Protestant church. I was born into that Christian family, where their marriage was officiated by a pastor. So, from when I don't really have memories—or

02:51

Speaker A

let's say from when I started having memories— From that time on, I was naturally attending church. Growing up attending church through nursery, kindergarten, elementary, and middle school, the culture of believing in God and Jesus became a very natural part of

03:12

Speaker A

my life. In that sense, I think I practiced my faith as a second-generation Christian, much like the blessed children of the Family Federation. Then, when I turned 20, I entered Sun Moon University. Upon starting school there, I attended a

03:35

Speaker A

three-day Divine Principle workshop, and I was so deeply moved that I wrote a pledge and became a first-generation member. I graduated from Sun Moon University with a bachelor's degree in English. After that, I went to Sunhak UPA Graduate School and earned a

03:54

Speaker A

master's degree in theology. Yes. I've brought some photos of my time in the organization, and this foreign gentleman in the bottom right corner is my father of faith. He is a professor from the UK, and he worked hard to

04:14

Speaker A

evangelize to me, which is how I came to know the Family Church and the True Parents. After graduating and completing my military service, I had a strong desire to enter public service, so I became a member of the 3rd class

04:29

Speaker A

of the Sunjeon program. While I was serving in public ministry as the dormitory director at Sun Moon University, the church leader at the time, Leader Geon-seung Gu, matched me with my current wife. He asked, "Would you like to receive the Blessing?" I

04:49

Speaker A

replied, "Of course I would." He told me to come to his office, and when I arrived, she was there. That was our first meeting. Since she had to go to Albania, we kept in touch online, and after being introduced that way, we

05:08

Speaker A

ultimately received the Blessing in 2018. Yes. My wife is from the first class of Cheonhak. While working as a dormitory director, I thought, "I want to go to UPA, too," so I ended up attending UPA in the middle of my

05:26

Speaker A

career. As a 7th-class UPA graduate, I am serving with a great senior, and she is actually one year older than me. So, I am currently serving in public ministry together with my wife. As for my previous pastoral work, I served as

05:44

Speaker A

a dormitory director at Sun Moon University, and until the year before last, I was involved in planting the Gwanghwamun Youth Church. I did youth ministry there for three years, and since moving to Gwangju this past May, I have been working on another church

06:00

Speaker A

plant as the leader of the Gwangju Youth Center Church. Yes. Actually, I didn't just do pastoral work. I also had a role in business-related public ministry. So, after I graduated from UPA, when I was assigned as a business

06:17

Speaker A

special envoy, I had no choice in the matter. In fact, there’s an expectation of absolute obedience to every assignment, so as a special envoy starting my first official post, I was told to try working in business. While business was the start, I actually

06:40

Speaker A

began by doing an internship at the Security Bureau. Then, I moved into the business side and tried being a barista. I also tried being a cook, and you can see me riding a four-wheeled motorcycle over there. It's also called

06:55

Speaker A

an ATV, yes. It's that type of motorcycle, and I even worked as an instructor for those. After engaging in many different activities for three years, I’ve now returned to ministry.

07:10

Speaker A

While doing these various activities and working in business, I realized how incredibly important management is.

07:18

Speaker A

Especially while starting a business, I learned firsthand how difficult it is to actually earn money. There was a time when I learned a lot about business skills and how to build relationships with people. Well, this is just a side story, but since I was

07:38

Speaker A

mainly in the service industry... I ended up in a job where I had to work the hardest on Saturdays and Sundays.

07:49

Speaker A

Because of that, I ended up in the unfortunate situation of not being able to attend Sunday services, so when I went to church on weekdays, it was just enough to meet the pastor. Since I couldn't attend services on weekends, I

08:04

Speaker A

found myself drifting away from the church without realizing it, and I felt that quite deeply at the time. I thought, "When I become a pastor later, I must become someone who provides education on weekdays and holds services on weekdays." I wanted to

08:21

Speaker A

create opportunities for people who have difficulty attending on weekends to hear the Word, fellowship together, and love our Heavenly Parent. I had that thought, and thanks to the promotion of this good program by our Shin-Aju family department head, we

08:41

Speaker A

were able to proceed with this together. So, today is a weekday evening; it was originally Thursday, but it was changed to Wednesday. I am very grateful that you all gathered together this evening to listen to the Word and

08:59

Speaker A

share stories with one another. Yes, I will finish my brief introduction here. Today’s lecture will be the ten-part series on the True Parents that I mentioned earlier. Among those, we will go through the prologue and the first lecture today. And for the remaining 6

09:20

Speaker A

sessions, we plan to condense them a bit and proceed by covering sessions 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 together, all the way up to session 10. So, regarding this content... For those of you who would like to study the PPT again, the

09:39

Speaker A

content is all available, so I will share the PDF or PPT files. Please don't worry, and I hope you will join us in listening together. We often describe this era as one where we attend Heavenly Parent and actually

09:55

Speaker A

live with Them. Yes. The term "to worship" can also mean to pay homage or to bow down, but the expression "to attend" is deeply embedded in these words. So we must always approach with a heart of worship, and both Jesus and

10:17

Speaker A

True Parents have given us the expression to "worship in spirit and in truth." I’ve heard the phrase "spirit and truth" many times, but what does it really mean to communicate with and learn from Heavenly Parent in spirit and truth while attending Them? I have

10:40

Speaker A

thought about this personally. I’ve brought some words from

10:55

Speaker A

I interpreted the aspect of truth as corresponding to the Word. And the aspect of spirit, I believe, is where our spirituality and heart reside.

11:08

Speaker A

Actually, in order for us to know Heavenly Parent and True Parents, and to attend and live with Them, we must first know Them well. That is why we study the Word diligently to understand Them, and there are people who do that.

11:24

Speaker A

They study the Word very diligently. For our professors, researching the Word every single day is their profession. However, they study and research hard, but there was one professor—I won't say who—who said, "I don't think I'm very spiritual.""I haven't been able to feel those new

11:47

Speaker A

revelations or things that people talk about at the Holy Ground." There are professors like that as well. In fact, spirit and truth must go together. If we only know the truth, if we only know the Word but lack the spiritual aspect

12:04

Speaker A

—that connection with Heavenly Parent , the true spirituality and the heart of love—then that content is like a plant with only roots, which might be meaningless. Because a tree, in the end , must reach the conclusion of bearing

12:22

Speaker A

fruit; if it only has roots and nothing on top, then it isn't fulfilling its proper role. On the other hand, there are people in our church who are very spiritual. For instance, when I was at the Gwanghwamun Church in Northern

12:39

Speaker A

Seoul, there was a Cheonseung Church nearby, and there were people who came to us after receiving revelations there . They would wake up after having a dream where their grandfather appeared and told them, "You should go to that

12:52

Speaker A

Unification Church," so they would come and say, "My grandfather told me to come to the Unification Church, so I'm here." They are very spiritual people who come saying, "I heard you teach the Word here, could you please teach me?"

13:07

Speaker A

You can see such people truly receiving revelations from Heavenly Parent and walking with Him, and sometimes that happens as well. They receive such great love and spiritual revelation from Heavenly Parent, feel that "Oh, this is what Heavenly Parent's love is

13:30

Speaker A

really like," and are so moved that they come to church and work hard for two or three months with the heart to serve God diligently. But as you walk the path of faith, while God does give us His great love, there may also be

13:50

Speaker A

times when He gives us trials to refine us, just as the regional pastor mentioned today. However, if we cannot properly discern those difficulties and temptations, if we don't understand their true meaning, and if we don't know the Word properly, we end up

14:15

Speaker A

doubting ourselves every time we face a trial. "I thought I had received such a revelation, so why is it so hard?""Why is it so difficult?" As the thought that perhaps what they felt so strongly was just an illusion grows, you can

14:38

Speaker A

sometimes see people whose faith gets completely uprooted by these harsh trials. That is why the Word must be our foundation; we learn through the Word the substance that allows us to discern and stand firm despite various difficulties. When we practice that

15:06

Speaker A

Word, pray with Heavenly Parent, and strive to always feel Him through our actions, devotion, and practice, it will eventually become a fruit of your faith as you serve Heavenly Parent. So, as I study diligently and put it into

15:27

Speaker A

practice, if I can feel that spirituality, I can also create the outcome of becoming the one and only son or daughter of Heavenly Parent.

15:39

Speaker A

Also, if we work hard and engage in outreach activities, new fruit will emerge from that. That could become our children of faith. And when we receive the blessing and have children, our actual children can be born, creating that lineage, so as we talk about going

15:59

Speaker A

forward with spirit and truth together, today we are focusing a bit more on the aspect of truth. Therefore, I hope you understand that today we are learning about these parts, because we must accurately know the status and value

16:17

Speaker A

that the True Parents have so that we can also know our own value. Yes. So, I have brought some words from True Mother. This is content from the message she gave during the gratitude report assembly on July 20, 2025. Even

16:31

Speaker A

now, she is emphasizing the True Parents 'theory very importantly and telling us that we must become one through the True Parents' theory in terms of order. So, regarding this True Parents 'theory education, there might be people who are curious about where

16:51

Speaker A

this education came from, so I have some points that I have organized myself regarding how this True Parents' theory is different from existing teachings. I would like to share that with you. Especially when it first came out, there were people who were very

17:11

Speaker A

confused. Isn't the True Parents ' theory the same as the life course? Some people would say that. Yes. And we originally had the doctrine called the Exposition of the Divine Principle, so I brought this because there might be

17:25

Speaker A

those who are confused about why we are now asked to learn the True Parents' theory as a new doctrine. First, I would like to briefly touch upon the difference between the True Parents ' theory and the Exposition of the Divine

17:39

Speaker A

Principle. Some people say, "Don't we already know everything about True Parents through the Divine Principle?" But when asked why we should learn the True Parents' theory, well, the first part of the Exposition of the Divine Principle consists of a total of seven

17:55

Speaker A

chapters. Yes. The second part consists of a total of eight chapters. However, just like in the Exposition of the Divine Principle, the conclusion of any book is important, isn't it? What is the last chapter of the second part?

18:10

Speaker A

Yes. Those who know are saying it out loud, it is the Theory of the Second Advent. Yes. The Theory of the Second Advent. The last chapter, Chapter 6 of the second part, is the Theory of the Second Advent. So, the question of when

18:22

Speaker A

, how, and where the Lord of the Second Advent will come is considered very important, and based on that content, we establish the starting point of our faith; the final chapter of the Exposition of the Divine Principle serves as the foundation for us to

18:39

Speaker A

uphold and serve Father as the Lord of the Second Advent. But in reality, God's dream cannot be fulfilled by the Lord of the Second Advent alone. To conclude, this will come up during today's lecture as well. For this dream

18:56

Speaker A

of God, it cannot be just the Lord of the Second Advent; the Only Begotten Daughter must also be present. It means not just the man, but the woman must also be there. That is what this is about. Therefore, because God’s dream

19:06

Speaker A

is realized through the appearance of True Parents, where this man and woman become one, the content in this Principle lacks information regarding the Only Begotten Daughter. And there is also a limitation in that God is expressed only as a masculine,

19:23

Speaker A

subjective Father. Also, saying that the perfected Eve is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Actually, many theology professors now evaluate this as containing a very significant error. If God created the Garden of Eden, and God is said to be an

19:41

Speaker A

absolutely good God, why would He create the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, a being of evil? The very claim that the perfected Eve is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is completely contradictory. And

19:57

Speaker A

there is content in the Principle suggesting that if this perfected Eve meets a good man, she bears good fruit, and if she meets a bad man, she bears bad fruit. The Principle teaches this, but it places women in a very passive

20:10

Speaker A

position with the concept that they must meet a good man. In the new era of Cheon Il Guk, there are True Parents ' words that indicate such content needs to be organized and clarified. There is also a teaching that the tree of life

20:28

Speaker A

does not refer only to Adam, but to the perfected Adam and Eve together. However, when considering that the Exposition of the Divine Principle still contains such parts, we must overcome the limitations of this male-centered interpretation of the Principle; we need words that

20:47

Speaker A

supplement what was missing regarding women and complete the content as True Parents. Therefore, the True Parents' Principle provides a full understanding of God, a new understanding of the Only Begotten Son, the Lord of the Second Advent, the Only Begotten Daughter, and

21:05

Speaker A

furthermore, a new understanding of the True Parents. That is why I can say that we must study the True Parents ' Principle. Then, some people ask, "Is the True Parents' Principle an entirely new Divine Principle?" There are people

21:21

Speaker A

who ask questions like that. Yes. That is not the case. The Divine Principle is also contained within the True Parents 'discourse. True Mother also instructs us to focus on the True Parents' discourse in our education.

21:32

Speaker A

Does that mean we are not teaching the Divine Principle anymore? That is not it, either. If you go to our Cheonbo Training Center, they are still diligently giving lectures on the Divine Principle. So, when we look at that content, I think we should

21:46

Speaker A

interpret it as prioritizing the True Parents 'discourse as our standard, and then re-interpreting and studying the Principle from that perspective.

21:59

Speaker A

Therefore, new concepts also appear in the True Parents' discourse. However, they are not entirely new concepts.

22:06

Speaker A

Since they emerge as a new concept of truth that encompasses even the content from the past, it can be compared to a lantern and the sun; when the sun rises , you no longer need the lantern. In the same way, when a new truth emerges,

22:25

Speaker A

I think we should understand it as content that encompasses the teachings of the past as well. Also, the Exposition of the Divine Principle was compiled in 1966. Yes. When was the True Parents 'discourse compiled? When was it compiled? Is it 2015, perhaps?

22:46

Speaker A

Yes. I am not sure of the exact year, but it is certain that it was compiled after Foundation Day. Therefore, just as we must put new wine into new wineskins, we should see the new word given after Foundation Day as a means

23:04

Speaker A

to gain a new understanding of the past teachings. Now, when you learn the True Parents' discourse, in the latter part, you receive education about the Second Advent, True Father, and the Only Begotten Daughter, True Mother. But if you look at that content, it overlaps

23:23

Speaker A

to some extent with the course of their lives. You might ask, "Can't we just learn one of them?" but the purpose may be slightly different. While there are overlapping parts, the True Parents ' life course details how, as the Only

23:39

Speaker A

Begotten Son and the returning Messiah, they were born on earth, went through the process to become True Parents, and managed the providence year by year. It covers the ideal of oneness between God and human beings, and as we learn about

23:58

Speaker A

the process and heart-centered contents of how the first True Parents became one with God in love, we can learn how to overcome our own difficulties just as True Father or True Mother did. If that is what the life course is about,

24:16

Speaker A

True Parentology corresponds to a more theoretical and systematic concept of how they became True Parents. Therefore , just as our Heavenly Parent does not conduct the providence outside of the Principle, True Parents are also beings who must follow the path of the

24:31

Speaker A

Principle. In that context, it is best to view True Parentology as a theory that reinterprets the existing Principle and explains the precise legitimacy of how these True Parents became the true father and true mother of humanity. So, you know the purple

24:56

Speaker A

book on True Parentology, right? I didn't bring it today, it's at the office, but the original title of that book is—you've heard of it, right, as seen through the heavenly providence?

25:09

Speaker A

Yes. It is titled "The Status and Value of True Parents Seen Through Heavenly Providence." And it comes in a purple cover. Knowing the status and value of True Parents is not simply about learning to worship them because they

25:27

Speaker A

are truly amazing. Aren't we the direct children of True Parents and blessed families? That means it is also content that teaches us about our own status and value as we attend our Heavenly Parent and serve True Parents in every

25:44

Speaker A

step of our lives. If True Parents are that great and are the greatest dream and fruit for our Heavenly Parent, then we, as their children, can feel and realize that we are also fruits with immense value and status. In other

26:05

Speaker A

words, it is a passage that allows us to understand not only the status and value of our families but also our own.

26:12

Speaker A

Furthermore, I believe this education allows us to feel that having received such blessings means we are also beings who bear corresponding responsibilities . So, through True Parentology, we can accurately understand the absolute status and value of True Parents, and

26:33

Speaker A

centering on them, who are our roots, we can contemplate what kind of lives we, who have received the blessing, should live. I believe this content helps us learn about how valuable we are, what kind of life Heavenly Parent

26:51

Speaker A

desires for us, and how to become living parents. So, I have briefly provided an introduction like this.

27:00

Speaker A

First, in our opening lecture, we will begin to delve into the topic of Heavenly Parent's dream. Yes. Members, yes. The PPT asks, "Did you have a dream when you were young?" You are still dreaming even now, right? Yes.

27:21

Speaker A

What kind of dream are you dreaming? Children might dream about what kind of parent they will become when they reach the parent generation. And parents, in fact, can also dream even bigger dreams . Yes. Dreams are not limited by age.

27:40

Speaker A

So, later on, it would be good for parents and children to share what kind of dreams they are dreaming. So, it is okay if you do not have a dream yet.

27:51

Speaker A

Yes. Since dreams are something we always seek out, I think it is important not to lose sight of that dream and to move forward together. Now , the title of the lecture is "Heavenly Parent's Dream." Does Heavenly Parent

28:04

Speaker A

even have a dream? There is a point that True Mother mentions in the first paragraph when speaking to world peace leaders. "In the beginning, the Creator , Heavenly Parent, had a dream." She says this. Actually, I would like to

28:25

Speaker A

interpret this from a Christian perspective for a moment. When we hear that God has a dream, it might sound like a blasphemous statement to some.

28:40

Speaker A

From the Christian perspective, this is because God is already an omnipotent and omniscient being. Perhaps we can express it metaphorically, like a human . If we express it as if God has a dream like a human, a goal or ideal

28:56

Speaker A

that has not yet been achieved, and that He is a being who constantly strives to fulfill that ultimate ideal —if we say He is a being who tries to achieve His dream just like a human because there are things He wants but

29:14

Speaker A

has not yet realized—then to Christians, this could sound like a very blasphemous statement. Why?

29:24

Speaker A

Because since He is omnipotent, if God has a dream, He would achieve it instantly. Yes. From that Christian concept, there may be parts that are difficult to understand. However, in our Family Federation, it is also taught that God is omnipotent. But we

29:44

Speaker A

are taught that even an omnipotent being has one thing He cannot do alone. What could it be? Yes. Love. Yes. I think you said it like this. Our family member. Yes. Love. It is love. I brought some scripture passages, and I

30:05

Speaker A

think it would be good if we could read them together. I will read them aloud from the top. Start. Because God is omnipotent, He can achieve whatever He wants and do whatever He desires.

30:20

Speaker A

Therefore, there cannot be anything that God finds to be an ideal. Only one thing is needed, and that is love. No matter how absolute God is, He cannot possess love alone. Love must be found only in a relative relationship. Even

30:38

Speaker A

for an almighty being, God cannot possess love by Himself. Of course, He has the attributes of love, but the stimulation and signals of love are only realized through a partner; they cannot manifest on their own. This is love. It is the power of love. Right?

30:59

Speaker A

What love is. Uh, you cannot do love alone. While there is the love of the original source, in order for that love to truly manifest and for one to feel its signals and stimulation, there must be an object, a partner with whom one

31:13

Speaker A

can give and take. It is the content through which that love can be felt and achieved. If I were to go somewhere alone and hug myself while saying, "Oh, I love myself," wouldn't that be very strange? Yes. There must be a partner.

31:30

Speaker A

Love does. Since even Heavenly Parent could not be happy alone, we can see that He created His children to be the objects with whom He could truly share His love and be happy forever. Actually , saying that God is omnipotent is not

31:53

Speaker A

a difficult concept for us either. Yes. Shall we close our eyes for a moment?

32:01

Speaker A

And let's think about the food you really want to eat at this very moment.

32:07

Speaker A

What kind of food do you like? I really like sushi quite a lot. I like Western food and many other things, but today I want to eat sushi. I want to eat sushi, like salmon sushi, tuna sushi, fatty

32:22

Speaker A

tuna, and many other types dipped in soy sauce and a touch of wasabi; perhaps some people don't like sushi, but anyway, let's imagine I have imagined that. So, if you have a favorite food, I think it would be good

32:40

Speaker A

to imagine eating or drinking it. And let's also imagine places we want to visit. I have been to the United States once, and it remains a very good memory for me. So I want to go to the U.S.

32:53

Speaker A

again. I also want to go to my wife's country, Albania. I want to go to Europe and Africa, and let's imagine going here and there. Yes. Now, feeling those contents, let us open our eyes once again. Hmm. How do you feel? Are

33:10

Speaker A

you all full now? I personally ate too much. Yes. I see one of our family members saying no. Right. In truth, in our imagination and in our thoughts, everything is possible. Yes. We can go anywhere, anytime. Right now, food can

33:30

Speaker A

appear, and I can eat it heartily through my imagination. How is it while you are eating? The deeper you go into that imagination, thinking about the seasoning and the savory taste, the more that joy overflows. But with just

33:46

Speaker A

these thoughts and images, the moment the imagination ends, what happens? That joy becomes momentary. Since there is no substance, the joy felt through it is momentary and cannot be eternal.

34:04

Speaker A

To be eternal, that substance is necessary. That is why Heavenly Parent also had the heart and desire to rejoice eternally through that love; that became the motive, and thus humans were created as the object of love to whom He could give everything and still

34:23

Speaker A

have more to give. Therefore, the fact that Heavenly Parent created out of that love is expressed in Unification Thought as "Heart" being the motive of creation. And Heart is also described as an emotional impulse to want to rejoice through love. It would be good

34:46

Speaker A

to interpret this impulse as a heart that even God cannot hold back. So, there is a very, very big difference from Christian theology. That is, for us, creation occurred inevitably because of Heart. God was also so eager to love that because of that burning

35:09

Speaker A

desire to love, He conceived the idea of creating humans, but He couldn't just create humans immediately. He had to create the environmental sphere for humans to live in first. So, looking at the Bible from day one to day seven, He

35:25

Speaker A

created light, water, and various environments, because humans actually need a lot of things. We need light, water, and land, we have to eat food, drink water, and sleep; if the temperature goes up a little, we feel like we are dying—we are extremely

35:42

Speaker A

sensitive beings. Yet, there is the concept that He is a Parent who created the entire environmental sphere, including plants and animals, that could sustain all those things, and finally created humans to give them all authority as masters; and the reason I

36:02

Speaker A

strongly emphasize that this creation was inevitable is because this part is very different when compared to Christian theology. In Christian theology, God is already perfect and complete. You could add any prefix meaning "perfect" or "complete" to describe God, and He is also someone

36:28

Speaker A

whose love already overflows. So, He thought, "I will show this overflowing love to humans," and in His glory, God used all His power to say "Let there be light," and light was created in just a day. Then, the Bible shows God's

36:47

Speaker A

absolute power through acts like dividing the waters above and below. That is why God's creation is described as something He chose to do. It was out of a sense of mercy, to show His love to humanity. He simply created humans

37:05

Speaker A

to reveal His glory to them. How does that sound to you? He is a truly great Creator, and before the Genesis account , He created the Garden of Eden, but what else did He put there? He placed the tree of the knowledge of good and

37:24

Speaker A

evil there and said, "If you eat from it, you will die," and then what happens? God tests them. Why? Because I am the master. Even though I created humans and gave you freedom, I will test whether you truly believe in my

37:40

Speaker A

words or not. This is completely the mindset of a master. They interpret the entire history of the Bible based on that concept. That is why one of the most important aspects of Christian theology is obedience. Obedience. They talk about how unconditional obedience

37:58

Speaker A

to God's word, and through that, believing in Jesus's words and accepting Him as the Messiah, is the way to avoid God's judgment and the path to enjoy glory and prosperity according to the Creator's plan, but it is truly hard to find a personal God

38:19

Speaker A

there. Of course, Christianity refers to God as "Father," but the more you study theology, the harder it is to feel that parental connection; even Christian theologians have jokingly said that the more you study theology, the more your faith declines. There is

38:40

Speaker A

even an expression like that, which shows the duality of how people view God, but in reality, that is not the truth. God truly invested everything for His beloved children in this universe and all things, and although He possesses the authority of the Owner

39:01

Speaker A

who invested it all, He even gave that authority to humans, His children, telling them to be fruitful, multiply, and become masters who govern all things. Because it is God's heart to bestow that authority, we must be able to feel the heart of God, who is our

39:21

Speaker A

Parent, through this. I would like to emphasize that we must be able to know that truth. So, as Father also said, this creation did not just come into being all at once because He said "Let there be light," as it appears in the

39:39

Speaker A

Bible; if we express it through the Word, it is said that humans were made by investing His utmost devotion, being the blood of His blood, the flesh of His flesh, the bone of His bone, and the marrow of His marrow. Yes. Okay. I

39:58

Speaker A

understand. We were able to understand why God created humans, in that there was a desire to find joy through love and to create a world of love, but then why did our Heavenly Parent...when creating the world, why did He create

40:20

Speaker A

the earthly world and the spirit world separately? If our Heavenly Parent’s purpose was to create a world of love and to love eternally, couldn't one think that He could have just created the angelic world, and together with the spirit world—since it is said

40:35

Speaker A

that God is also a spiritual being— couldn't they have just continued to give and receive infinite love? For example, there is also an expression in the Bible that God exists as an infinite Spirit. However, True Father once expressed it this way while giving

40:56

Speaker A

a lecture. He once used the expression that the earthly world is like a line and the spirit world is like a circle.

41:02

Speaker A

He spoke about it while drawing it on a blackboard. Since I don't have a blackboard, I drew it here on a PPT slide. Can this straight line be drawn forever? Can it? It cannot be drawn forever. It has a beginning and an end.

41:19

Speaker A

Therefore, this is said to symbolize this earthly world. Having a beginning and an end allows us to think about the meaning of being finite. And being finite means that we are limited by time and space. Right? If we want to go

41:37

Speaker A

somewhere, we must use time and effort to travel to that space, through which we can realize that these things are limited. Also, there is the concept of a process. That also implies that there is an inherent possibility for growth.

41:53

Speaker A

And on earth, we are also able to procreate. But on the other hand, let's look at a circle. If you look at this circle, can you try to find a starting point and an ending point? Where would they be? Yes, it's meaningless. You

42:11

Speaker A

could mark the same point and say this is the start. And you could also say that this is the end. Like that, having no beginning or end can be seen as symbolizing an infinite world. Also, those who have read True Parents' words

42:27

Speaker A

extensively must have come across such teachings. It is said that the spirit world transcends time and space. As soon as I think, "I want to eat this," that food appears right in front of me.

42:39

Speaker A

There is also the idea that it is a world transcending time and space, where as soon as I say, "I want to meet this person," that person is right beside me. The spirit world is already a perfected world, so in the original

42:53

Speaker A

text of the teachings, it is even expressed that there is no development because it is already a completed world . What does that mean? So, one might say there is no development, but in other original texts, it states that it

43:09

Speaker A

is a place where there is development of love, as the investment of love keeps growing while exchanging it with true love. Anyway, despite that, since there is no growth process, the spirit world is a world for beings who are

43:29

Speaker A

already perfected to enjoy, not a space for growing. So, what happens when we learn about the Theory of Resurrection in the Divine Principle? I have died.

43:41

Speaker A

Ah, the spirit body has gone to the spirit world, and I see, "Oh, I haven't reached perfection.""Oh, I need to mature more.""I need to grow." Then what should I do? To perfect this spirit body, I must return to the

43:57

Speaker A

descendants who are on earth. And there is the point that through that return and cooperation, we can perfect the remaining spirit body. You cannot reach perfection in the spirit world. There is the teaching that by coming down to

44:10

Speaker A

earth and cooperating with descendants, we can grow through that benefit. Actually, the reason I compared the earthly world and the spirit world like this is because of the nature of love.

44:21

Speaker A

Is it love if I say, "Hey, you, you're all grown up now, so since I gave you a hundred, you give me back a hundred?" No, it's not. That's just a trade, a transaction. Love is the heart to want

44:45

Speaker A

to give; like how I prepare hard and give something to our department head. The manager was so touched by receiving that ten, that next time he prepared and suddenly gave me a hundred. And I was so moved by that, that I decided to

45:00

Speaker A

repay him even more, so I added ten to that hundred and gave it back. Because of that, love continues to develop and grow larger through this reciprocal action. Like that, love is not something that can be taught just with

45:15

Speaker A

words. Love requires going through a process of growth, patience, and such experiences. A growth process is necessary. Maturity is required. So, there are no babies who, as soon as they are born, say, "Since I was born with the grace of God and my parents, I

45:35

Speaker A

will now be a truly devoted child." For one, I am currently raising a one-year-old and a three-year-old. Even the one-year-old will wake up in the middle of the night and suddenly cry because they are hungry. Yes. When my

45:52

Speaker A

daughter asks me to buy her a toy, saying, "Buy me this," even when I say, "We don't have money right now, so no," that's how it is. Looking at those things, children also need a growth process where the vessel of their love

46:08

Speaker A

gradually expands, from the heart of a child to the heart of a sibling, a spouse, and a parent. Therefore, because there is a world that must be perfected through this earthly realm in order for us to perfect love through

46:25

Speaker A

that growth process, we can see that Heavenly Parent wished to create a connection to this earth, build a kingdom of heaven on earth, and see that earthly heaven realized. So, when we look at the words of True Mother, as

46:42

Speaker A

well. She expresses that Heavenly Parent’s dream was, in fact, to be the parent of humanity. Therefore, God wanted to become True Parents who wear a visible physical form through human beings. That was God's wish and dream.

46:57

Speaker A

She says that is God's purpose of creation. That means Adam, the first son whom He could call "my son," and Eve, the first daughter whom He could call "my daughter," are the ancestors of humanity. If Adam and Eve had grown

47:13

Speaker A

well and received the blessing together at the time God desired and permitted, they would have had the form of a couple united just like God, and that would have been the first parents becoming the True Parents. Therefore, if we call parents on this earth

47:32

Speaker A

parents of heaven and earth, True Parents describe the Creator who made this entire universe as the Parent of the Cosmos. Then, what are the parents who have become one in love as the Parent of the Cosmos and the parents of

47:47

Speaker A

heaven and earth? They are the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind . So, we call that ideal, where Heavenly Parent and True Parents have become one, the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind. Thus, when we offer bows, we call it bowing to the

48:02

Speaker A

True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind; although we are bowing to the True Parents, we are also bowing to the Heavenly Parent who is one with them. We are offering greetings. We should be able to view it in that way.

48:18

Speaker A

So, if children are born on the foundation of a family that has realized this ideal of unity between the Heavenly Parent and the True Parents, whose children are they? They are the children of the True Parents and, at the same time, the children of

48:33

Speaker A

the Heavenly Parent. Yes. Therefore, when this family of the Heavenly Parent is established and expands to the tribe , people, nation, world, and cosmos, it becomes the Kingdom of God. In our terms, it becomes Cheon Il Guk. Where

48:54

Speaker A

does the dream of God begin to be realized? It begins from this True Parent ideal. Thus, we can see that it expands from the ideal family to the ideal world, and the core of the True Parent philosophy is that if True

49:12

Speaker A

Parents appear, Heavenly Parent's dream is automatically realized. Yes. However , unfortunately, when we look at human history, because Adam and Eve fell, they created a world completely unrelated to the Heavenly Parent.

49:33

Speaker A

Religiously speaking, an earthly hell was created, and the people who lived in that earthly hell then created a hell in the spiritual world, resulting in a spiritual hell. Even though the Heavenly Parent's dream was frustrated, the Heavenly Parent is absolute, unique

49:50

Speaker A

, and unchanging, so the Will is also absolute, unique, and unchanging. Some express it that way, but I would like to express it like this. The expression "absolute" means that the Heavenly Parent says, "All of this is my

50:04

Speaker A

responsibility." I believe we can interpret it heartistically as the Heavenly Parent's sense of mission and responsibility to surely save this situation again, and the determination to take responsibility even for the fall caused by humans and save it all.

50:28

Speaker A

Yes. So, what must we do to realize the dream of the Heavenly Parent once again in such a system? Yes. We must send another son and daughter. He must send an only begotten son and daughter who can again be called His son and

50:46

Speaker A

daughter, and through them, True Parents must be established. We can say that it is from there that the Heavenly Parent's dream is realized. In this way , the ideal we have reached, centering on True Parents, of expanding to the

51:00

Speaker A

tribe, people, nation, world, and cosmos, is what we must see as the ideal of Cheon Il Guk. Therefore, this True Parent—this Heavenly Parent's dream—is the theological point where the ideal world of creation is first established through these True Parents.

51:24

Speaker A

So, through those True Parents, we can become the children of the Heavenly Parent, and through that, we can reach the process where we, too, like the True Parents, can achieve the ideal of unity between God and man. Yes. So,

51:44

Speaker A

this is the final slide of Lecture 1 today. Yes. I have brought some of these words with me. I will briefly read them aloud together. The Heavenly Parent is always ready to help us.

51:57

Speaker A

Everything depends on us. We must awaken our conscience. Conscience is the Heavenly Parent within us. If we are always awake, praying, and living with spirit and truth, we will hear the voice of the Heavenly Parent and feel the thrill of inspiration. Therefore,

52:13

Speaker A

if we were to express the Heavenly Parent in just one word, it would be True Love. That is why the Heavenly Parent, who is True Love and truly wants to love His children, always wants to help us, and because He loves

52:33

Speaker A

each one of you who have come as children of blessed families so dearly, that heart of love is always surrounding us. We must be able to feel and experience these aspects. So, as we learn through today’s words, I hope

52:53

Speaker A

we will always live with this spirit and truth, staying awake and praying, and become blessed families and children who receive the love of the Heavenly Parent, and with that, we will conclude Lecture 1. Thank you. In Lecture 2, we would like to share a

53:15

Speaker A

story about the Heavenly Parent. In the world, there are various terms used to refer to God. In Christianity, there is Yahweh or Jehovah, and in Islam, they say Allah, while in Catholicism, they express it as God (Haneunim). In the

53:37

Speaker A

East, there are records of expressions such as Cheonju (Heavenly Lord), Sangje (Supreme Ruler), or Okhwang Sangje. So, in fact, although there are various names, we can see that they all ultimately refer to the original existence, the Creator, who created

53:53

Speaker A

this world. Yes. What do we call God in our Family Federation? We call Him Heavenly Parent. Actually, it hasn't been that long since we started calling Him that. The history. Well, it has been 13 years. Just as it has been 13

54:13

Speaker A

years now since 2013. Looking at the content, True Mother proclaimed and opened the gates on Foundation Day, January 13th, and this was the message she gave a week before opening those gates. We change God to Heavenly Parent . When praying, we change Heavenly God

54:33

Speaker A

to Heavenly Parent. It is "Heavenly Parent." It is "Heavenly Parent," which sounds soft in English and has significant meaning in Korean. So, the first words that should come out when we pray are "Heavenly Parent," followed by "Beloved Heavenly True Parents."

54:48

Speaker A

True Mother said, "Let's start by changing that." So why, when we have referred to God as Father like in Christianity until now, did she have us change it to Heavenly Parent? We will explore that content throughout this lecture. Yes. I have brought photos of

55:13

Speaker A

this actor and his daughter. This is actor Kim Soo and his daughter. They look very similar, don't they? There are features where, just by looking, you can tell, "Ah, this is his daughter ." Do you happen to know what this is

55:28

Speaker A

about? There is a mixed martial arts fighter named Kim Dong-hyun. They say this shows three generations: Kim Dong-hyun's father, himself, and his son. If I didn't explain it, you might think it's Kim Dong-hyun when he was young versus when he got older, but you

55:49

Speaker A

can see they look exactly the same. Oh, what is this suddenly? Yes, this is my daughter. And this is a photo of me when I entered university. Looking at these photos, I also found myself wondering, "Why do we look so much

56:07

Speaker A

alike?" Just like that, there is an expression in philosophy. Cause and effect are not entirely new concepts or completely unrelated, but are bound to resemble each other. This is sometimes referred to as the law of resemblance.

56:24

Speaker A

Just like that, we not only resemble our parents in terms of physical appearance, but we also resemble them in our personality and heart. So, for those parents and children listening to this education together, it would be good to share these things. For

56:44

Speaker A

instance, "I think I resemble my father more in appearance, but I think I take after my mother's personality." Things like that can certainly come up. Yes.

56:51

Speaker A

It would also be a fun conversation starter to share the traits you think you share with your parents, and the traits your children think they share with you. I brought this up because parents and children are bound to

57:07

Speaker A

resemble one another. In the same way, when we say the Creator created everything, the resulting created beings must naturally resemble their Cause. So, when that happens, the Principle expresses it like this. There must be something common to all things

57:28

Speaker A

in the universe, nature, mountains, and seas. Through that, let’s try to understand the divinity of God. We go into a study that looks at how, though invisible, we can perceive His nature —the nature of the Divine. What do

57:44

Speaker A

the universe, nature, mountains, water, wind, fire, people, air, and gravity all have in common? Yes. Yes. If you look at the Bible, you can see that God created man in His own image, creating them as male and female. Likewise, if

58:03

Speaker A

you look at all things in nature, you can see that they are all composed of plus and minus. This is expressed as being created in pairs. Starting from the smallest components, matter is made of positive and negative charges, and

58:19

Speaker A

elementary particles consist of anions and cations. Plants also have stamen and pistils. Animals have males and females. And humans are men and women.

58:30

Speaker A

When we see that all these things were created in such a way, we can infer that God must also consist of a plus and a minus. This is the way it was expressed in the former Exposition of the Divine Principle. But in the study

58:43

Speaker A

of the Principle, we go a bit deeper. If we talk about the being that most resembles God, what would it be most like? Yes. It would be the human beings He created as His children. Yes.

59:00

Speaker A

Therefore, men and women were created as the beings who most resemble God. So we can infer that God possesses both masculine and feminine attributes. We can see that man was created in the image of God’s masculinity, and woman

59:22

Speaker A

was created in the image of God’s femininity. So, while God was previously described in the Divine Principle as a harmonious being with Original Internal Nature and Original External Form, plus and minus are simply attributes of that nature and

59:41

Speaker A

form. We taught it that way, and it is also correct. It is not wrong. But now, we are taught even more essential content. And what is that? If we say that God exists as a single being with a dual original internal nature and

59:57

Speaker A

original external form, there must be masculine aspects corresponding to that original nature and form. So, when we look at those original nature and form through only those masculine aspects, since they are the being that gave birth to us, what do we call them? We

60:16

Speaker A

could perceive them as, "Ah, it is God the Father." However, if we think in reverse, there must also be feminine aspects within God's original nature and original form. So, when we look at those feminine aspects, we can say, "Ah

60:31

Speaker A

, God also exists as the Mother who gave birth to me," and express it as God the Mother. Therefore, having a personality, or human-like character, only exists as either a man or a woman.

60:47

Speaker A

In reality, we cannot imagine a being where man and woman are completely mixed into one. That is why we can perceive God as either Father or Mother , but because they are one, we can interpret them as our Heavenly Parents.

61:10

Speaker A

When we see that the masculine substance of God manifested as man, and the feminine substance of God manifested as woman, this is where the foundation for gender equality begins.

61:29

Speaker A

Yes. And while explaining these parts, one of the most important keys is that when we speak of God as Father and Mother, we are interpreting it as a personal character, not as the actual physical body of God. That is a

61:47

Speaker A

difficult point. It means that there are not two Gods. God is one. Suppose, for example, that there were two Gods.

61:56

Speaker A

There is a God the Father and a God the Mother. Then what happens? If men were born from God the Father and women from God the Mother, could this man and woman become one with each other?

62:06

Speaker A

Through love? No. If God is not one, how can a man and a woman become one?

62:13

Speaker A

Because God exists as one whole being, the concept that man and woman can become one centered on God's love can arise from that. Theologically, dualism is actually a very dangerous ideology.

62:29

Speaker A

Should I say dangerous? Actually, dualism ultimately suggests that two entities existed at the very beginning, but those would have been born from some other being. You would eventually have to find the cause of that new entity, and if you keep asking, "Who is

62:46

Speaker A

God's God? Who is that God's God?" you end up falling into nihilism, which is why we must see that God exists as one.

62:55

Speaker A

This argument can be seen as a very important point. That is why True Parents spoke about it directly. " Parent." In English, the distinction between singular and plural is very important. Usually, it’s "parents" with an "s." Yes, because there are two

63:16

Speaker A

parents. But to make it clear that there is only one, in English, we remove the "s" from "parents." We express it that way. It is not a non-existent word, however. In English, if one parent passes away, we sometimes

63:31

Speaker A

refer to the remaining parent as just " parent," without the "s." But that is not the meaning here; you should understand that we express it this way to clarify that God is one. Yes. So, among True Parents 'words, they also

63:53

Speaker A

express that man and woman are each half of God. Since a man comes as the substance of the Heavenly Father and a woman exists as the substance of the Heavenly Mother, we can see here that for us to fully resemble the Heavenly

64:10

Speaker A

Parent, a man and a woman must become one through marriage. Thus, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother exist as one within God, and when looking at their relationship in terms of attributes, it is a horizontal and mutually complementary relationship. It is not a

64:29

Speaker A

relationship where one is higher or lower, or a subject-object hierarchy. That is why, when talking about couples , we also refer to True Parents as left and right. Yes. It is like the left hand and the right hand; you cannot say

64:41

Speaker A

one is better than the other. They exist as two equal entities that help one another. Therefore, just as neither the Heavenly Father nor Mother precedes the other or acts as the cause for the other, and just as they exist as

64:57

Speaker A

horizontal and mutually complementary within the Heavenly Parent, man and woman must also have that kind of mutually complementary relationship. So , how should we understand True Parents ? Is True Mother higher? Is True Father higher? True Mother is higher. Don't

65:15

Speaker A

raise your hand. "I am on True Mother's side." Yes. You should not raise your hand. We must believe True Mother and True Father are equal. They are one.

65:27

Speaker A

That is effectively the conclusion of the theory of True Parents. The content that we should head towards, that the Three Heavenly Parents are one, is also something we can see through the lectures on the Heavenly Parents. Yes.

65:40

Speaker A

That is what I mentioned earlier. Heavenly Parents, who exist with dual characteristics of internal nature and external form, have true love as the motive for heart-to-heart resonance at their core, so just as God is united in true love, how can we men and women

66:00

Speaker A

also become one? This is what we can see, the part about becoming one through love. So, this is the words of the Parents. Why do we get married? It is to resemble God. God is a being of dual characteristics, possessing the

66:16

Speaker A

invisible nature of both man and woman; He is a being of synthesis and unity, and since men and women are the analytical embodiments of God's personality, they must synthesize and unify to become like a seed and return to the place of God's original nature.

66:32

Speaker A

Yes. The words are a bit difficult, but in the end, we can see this kind of expression. Just as Heavenly Parents have the attributes of a Heavenly Father and Mother, through marriage, we men and women become one, which makes

66:47

Speaker A

us look like the Heavenly Parents; through this, we can experience the heart of the Heavenly Parents' love and become one with that heart, and because this is the ideal of God and man becoming one through love, we can

67:04

Speaker A

interpret this to mean that in order to resemble God, we must diligently build families, receive the blessing, and have children. Yes. I brought up the word "Hyojeong" because I wanted to talk about it for a moment. You have

67:20

Speaker A

all heard a lot about Hyojeong, haven't you? What does Hyojeong mean? Yes. What could it be? They say it is written like this in Hanja (Chinese characters) . The character for 'filial piety' and the character for 'heart'. Yes. But

67:36

Speaker A

this is not a word that exists in the Korean language. It is still not in the Korean dictionary. There are other words that sound like Hyojeong with different characters, but this Hyojeong , which uses the characters for filial

67:49

Speaker A

piety and heart, can be described as a word newly created by True Mother. So, theologians are working very hard, reading about it, writing academic papers, and doing research. But to put it very simply, we could express it as

68:04

Speaker A

"the heart of filial piety." However, we have learned about the four great realms of heart until now. Then, where in the four great realms of heart does this word "Hyojeong," or the heart of filial piety, belong? Where should it

68:20

Speaker A

go? Yes. Since I marked it with a red pen, it seems like it should go into the realm of the children's heart, right? Ah, that is also correct. Yes.

68:31

Speaker A

In fact, this "Hyojeong" serves as a compass, a standard that perfects all the hearts that permeate the four great realms of heart. What does that mean?

68:44

Speaker A

In all four great realms of heart, we must feel that filial heart—that Hyojeong—of our Heavenly Parent's love. What does that mean? Well, during the realm of the children's heart, it is very easy. As a child, I feel that

68:57

Speaker A

unconditional love from my parents. Even though we cannot see our Heavenly Parent, through our physical parents, we can feel what parental love is like and realize that our Heavenly Parent's love is truly unconditional and like that of a real parent who loves us so

69:18

Speaker A

dearly; that is how we can feel Hyojeong in the realm of the child's heart. What about the realm of the sibling's heart, everyone? Can you feel God in the heart of siblings? Yes. You must be able to feel it. Yes. How do

69:34

Speaker A

you feel it? I am the only child of our Heavenly Parent, a truly beloved child, and there are brothers and sisters beside me, and they are also the children of the same Heavenly Parent.

69:47

Speaker A

But they are so different from me. Just as I am a unique individual, there are older brothers like this. There are older sisters like that, there are older brothers and sisters, some who are great, some with very strong

70:03

Speaker A

personalities, some who are gentle— the world is full of many diverse people. Looking at them, what should we feel? Ah, the infinite creativity of our Heavenly Parent is truly vast. Ah, there is a Heavenly Parent like this.

70:18

Speaker A

And there is a Heavenly Parent like that. Even if I don't understand it yet , I realize that there is a Heavenly Parent who is like this too. I can see what makes them happy and what they enjoy when we do these things. By

70:29

Speaker A

feeling such things, we must cultivate a heart that can perceive the diverse nature of our Heavenly Parent through our brothers and sisters. Through that, we can see it as a way to find a new aspect of our Heavenly Parent. What

70:42

Speaker A

about the realm of the conjugal heart? As I mentioned earlier, right? A man can never 100%understand a woman's heart on his own. The same goes for the opposite. How can a woman 100% understand a man on her own? Only when

70:59

Speaker A

a man and a woman meet and become one can I, as a husband, see my wife and realize, "Ah, this is what moves Heavenly Mother and what she likes."" This is what a woman loves." We can feel what makes her happy when we do

71:16

Speaker A

things this way. Ah, so through that heaven, through my wife, I can truly feel the love of this woman and also the love of the Heavenly Mother. Since we are children of the Heavenly Parent, but also, as husband and wife, I must

71:31

Speaker A

see the other as the embodiment of the Heavenly Mother, how should we treat each other? While respecting and loving each other, we must reach the final stage where we can truly serve one another with filial piety. Only then

71:48

Speaker A

can we be one in the heart of a married couple. By experiencing this, we can learn and embody the Heavenly Parent— the male Heavenly Parent and the female Heavenly Parent—through our hearts as a couple. That, too, can be a form of

72:06

Speaker A

filial heart. The last, parents, isn't it very simple? Even you, while raising one-or three-year-old babies these days , feel indirectly, "Oh, my mom and dad suffered this much to raise me," and your heart of filial piety grows even

72:23

Speaker A

larger. And as you feel that love for your children flows automatically, you realize, "Ah, this is truly what parental love is," and conversely, you can feel how much the Heavenly Parent must love you. That is the filial heart

72:42

Speaker A

. So, if we live our entire lives from birth until death with the heart of filial piety, seeking to serve Heaven, we can complete the four great realms of heart and reach the point where we can become one, sharing in the same

73:00

Speaker A

heart of love as the Heavenly Parent. So, why must we get married? Well, it is because the Heavenly Parent exists as male and female, so we must become one; but by creating that family and completing the four great realms of

73:17

Speaker A

heart within it, we can become one in love with the Heavenly Parent. That is why we must receive the Blessing and create a family that lives while serving Heaven through that Blessing.

73:32

Speaker A

Then, why does Christianity refer to God as "Heavenly Father"? One might ask , why is it expressed only as Father and not as Mother? Some emerging Protestant denominations do speak of a Heavenly Mother. However, even in those places, they still do not refer to the

73:55

Speaker A

Heavenly Parent as a whole. Regardless, traditional Christianity still confesses God as "Heavenly Father"— why would that be? That is something we can interpret in this way. When Jesus came, he arrived on this earth as the Only Begotten Son, the one who could

74:18

Speaker A

show the masculine reality of God, allowing God to say, "This is my son." So when they spoke of God, the Jewish people usually confessed God as Jehovah or Yahweh, in a relationship like that of a master and a servant. However,

74:40

Speaker A

Christianity—Jesus—confessed God as "my Father," and Christians began to address God as Father, but unfortunately, the Only Begotten Daughter, who could represent God’s feminine aspect and be called "my daughter," was not born. Therefore, we can say that we were unable to know the

75:04

Speaker A

full image of God, specifically the feminine aspect of God and the Heavenly Parent. In the same way, since the Only Begotten Son Jesus confessed God as Father, what was the gender of his twelve disciples? They were all men.

75:26

Speaker A

Yes. It is said that Christianity was founded through those disciples, and in Catholicism, only men can become priests. Women can only be nuns. This man acts as a representative of Jesus, becoming a channel through which one can establish a relationship with God.

75:44

Speaker A

Women must go through men. The more traditional the Christianity, the more this is the case. Because the man is considered the glory and substance of God, I once spoke about this with a Christian pastor at an institution, and

76:00

Speaker A

I found that the more traditional the Christianity, the more they emphasize it. They ask, "How can you say that, when woman was made from Adam's rib?" But in reality, because we did not properly know the Heavenly Parent and

76:21

Speaker A

could not know the Heavenly Mother, women's authority and human rights were historically very low. In fact, we had slavery in the past, and it is said that slaves were able to participate in politics earlier than women were. It is

76:41

Speaker A

only within the last few hundred years that women's human rights have improved to the point where they can suddenly be active in society together. Before that , there were many very difficult circumstances. However, when we look at the words of the True Parents regarding

76:59

Speaker A

the conditions of goodness, is the word "man" valuable if there are only men? No, it isn't. Just as a man exists because there is a woman, a place where there is only a woman without a man, or vice versa, has no value. Well, a woman

77:16

Speaker A

exists under the condition that a man also exists. Just like that, when we establish the premise that man and woman must exist together as a prior condition, the concept that the only begotten Son, Jesus, appeared means that the only begotten Daughter should

77:38

Speaker A

naturally have appeared as well; we interpret this as a concept we should have naturally known, but in the past, we could not interpret it this way.

77:52

Speaker A

Even in Christianity today, they believe in the only begotten Son, Jesus , very well, but that an only begotten Daughter must appear—They haven't thought about the concept of an only begotten Daughter at all. Because of such circumstances, the only begotten

78:08

Speaker A

Daughter, the female entity, could not be born, and as a result, God's feminine nature remained hidden.

78:15

Speaker A

Therefore, in this era, as the returning Messiah, the True Father, and the True Mother, the only begotten Daughter of the first coming, become one, we can interpret this current era as the time when we have come to know

78:32

Speaker A

God's identity not just as God the Father or God the Mother, but as our Heavenly Parent. Thus, the dream of our Heavenly Parent is to wear the body of human True Parents, form a great universal family, and live eternally

78:48

Speaker A

while enjoying true love and joy. So, if I were to exaggerate a little, I think I once mentioned during the birthday course that God's dream was to become human. Yes. Because God truly wanted to become human, to become one

79:07

Speaker A

with humanity, and to desire a world of eternal love where He could eat, drink, and live eternally with His children, we can see that He created True Parents for that purpose and wished to fulfill the Heavenly Parent's dream through the

79:24

Speaker A

ideal of those True Parents. Yes. Since this is the ultimate identity that our Heavenly Parent wishes to achieve, and because we are in an era where we serve the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, who have achieved the final

79:41

Speaker A

oneness in the Cheon Il Guk era since Foundation Day, it is fitting for the spirit of the Cheon Il Guk era that we call God "Heavenly Parent." So, although God is an unchanging existence and can be described in many ways, in

79:57

Speaker A

this final era, the Cheon Il Guk era, we must be able to understand heartistically that God is revealing Himself as our Parent. Yes. Therefore, you are the one and only children of our Heavenly Parent, who truly wanted to give birth to and love children who

80:20

Speaker A

resemble Himself as a parent. Yes. For Heavenly Parent's dream to be realized, the True Parents 'ideal is necessary, but in the end, it is not just achieving the True Parents' ideal that is Heavenly Parent's dream; we must deeply internalize that God desires for

80:39

Speaker A

His system of love to be completed through the blessed families who have achieved that True Parents 'ideal, and through the children of these blessed families. So, as I have been studying the teachings in the past, I think I

80:54

Speaker A

talked about this a lot even during the birthday labor sessions. The many sacrificial efforts and hardships until the True Parents opened Cheon Il Guk were, in fact, to resolve the sorrow and resentment of Heavenly Parent; to liberate Heavenly Parent, to become the

81:15

Speaker A

Heavenly True Parents, and to establish Heavenly Parent as the owner of this Earth, all these reasons involved much sacrifice and pain. Yes, there were contents that were heavily focused on resolving that resentment. Since the opening of Cheon Il Guk, the providence

81:37

Speaker A

has been unfolding with True Mother at the center; while resolving Heavenly Parent's resentment is important, because this is an era where the True Parents' ideal has been manifested and Cheon Il Guk has been firmly established, they are now speaking more

81:53

Speaker A

about future-oriented contents that fulfill Heavenly Parent's dream. Therefore, we ourselves—we, the children of blessed families—are the very crystallization and ideal of Heavenly Parent's dream. The dreams you have are Heavenly Parent's dreams. So, in order to fulfill those dreams, as

82:17

Speaker A

children whom He loves, as children of Heavenly Parent, each of you possesses at least one talent given by Heavenly Parent. When you take that Heavenly talent, that genius, and use what you like and what you are good at to serve

82:36

Speaker A

the world with a heart of devotion, I believe that becomes Heavenly Parent's history and the contents that fulfill Heavenly Parent's dream. Therefore, I hope that all our family members will always be blessed children living with Heavenly Parent, and that every blessed

82:56

Speaker A

family will be one that serves Heavenly Parent. Yes. I will conclude today's second lecture with this. I will offer a prayer and then wrap things up.

83:10

Speaker A

Precious Heavenly Parent, beloved Heavenly True Parents, thank you. I love you. Heavenly Parent, out of an unstoppable emotional impulse and heart to find joy through love, created this world with absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, pouring all of His energy into it. Under that

83:41

Speaker A

absolute obedience, believing that Heavenly Parent’s dream and the dream of humanity would surely be realized to build Cheon Il Guk, where the ideal of oneness with the Creator is achieved, we know that Heavenly Parent created this world and bestowed all His

84:09

Speaker A

authority, love, and essence upon humanity, His sons and daughters. However, when we look at human history, we know that because of the Fall, Heavenly Parent’s dream was frustrated and we faced hardships. Now, through the True Father, the Lord of

84:35

Speaker A

the Second Advent who attained the True Parent ideal, and the Only Begotten Daughter, True Mother, the era of Cheon Il Guk has arrived. As we reflect on the fact that we, as blessed families born in this 6,000-year history through

84:57

Speaker A

the True Parent ideal, possess the immense love of Heavenly Parent and the highest value and status, we must fulfill our responsibility to always serve Heavenly Parent with our mind and body and reveal that highest value and status. To ensure that these blessings

85:24

Speaker A

manifest in the wonderful image of our blessed families, we must become blessed families and children who always move forward in unity with True Parents 'words and in oneness of love with True Parents. Please guide us so that we may always pray and live in

85:48

Speaker A

faith to become children of filial heart who can further realize Heavenly Parent’s dream. Through this study of the True Parent theory today, may we better understand Heavenly Parent’s value and status, and as His children, may we reaffirm our own status and

86:12

Speaker A

value, and lead us to become loyal and filial sons and daughters who can move forward. We sincerely, sincerely thank You for presiding over and guiding us from the beginning to the end of today's time. Offering all these words,

86:31

Speaker A

we have prayed in the name of the Blessed Family Central Headquarters, who serve Heaven. Aju.

86:41

Speaker A

Aju. Thank you.
