Pyeong Hwa Gyeong (067) - The Role of Unified Science in the Moral Orientation of the World
6. The world desired by God and humanity
Since the ideal world is the realization of God’s purpose of creation and is the world that reflects God, people always seek to have a harmonious and peaceful life filled with God’s love and also seek to improve their environment by continually creating new things.
Here creation does not mean mere production; rather, it includes all creative actions, such as originating new ideas, planning and improving as well as producing.
Since God is a unified being, human beings and societal life must also be unified. This means people must love while they live a creative life and must live a creative life while they love. Such people are unified people, and the world they live in is the unified world. As repeatedly mentioned, people have come to reflect God’s creativity through outstanding scientific progress yet so far have not learned His love. So this world is still filled with sorrow, pain and distress.
Since harmony is the essential nature of love, harmony cannot exist where there is no love. Likewise, peace and happiness cannot exist where there is no harmony. Thus, humankind’s present suffering continues because of the lack of love.
Therefore, it is natural that both God and humanity have been longing for the ideal life and world that would resemble God. In other words, the ideal human being sought by God and people’s original mind is a creative and good person practicing God-centered love. The ideal world is the world filled with creative actions to improve the environment and is one filled with love between individuals and between nations.
When this new type of person comes to live in this new, unified world, all the sorrows, pains and hostilities that have plagued humanity throughout history will be eliminated forever.
