Earthly Life and Spirit World (Part 1) - 126 [3] The Spirit World 2. What Kind Of Place Is The Spirit World? 1) The Spirit World And The Physical World
① The Center of the Spirit World and the Physical World - 1
Do you understand the existence of the spirit world? (Yes!) Those who understand its existence, raise your hand. How about those who have experienced the spirit world instead of understanding it? (Some raise hands.) Wow! (Father laughed.)
You must have thought seriously about the spirit world. Today there are many religions in the world, but their path is to search out the world where we can live together with God.
By having a relationship with the spirit world, religions search for the world of eternal life where we can live forever. You have understood it as a concept; that is, that the world of eternal life is the destination of religions.
Nowadays, however, religion has been declining, and many people are saying, "Only weak people need religion. It is not necessary for the rest of us." Or, "It was created by man as a moral idea." We have entered into such an era. just took at Christianity alone, which is the center of all religions.
America represents all the Christian nations of the world, and you grew up in an American family. You once believed in Christianity, but you lost your faith and lived in your own way. You are here because you could not find anything, even though you wandered around. (Smile.) You might leave again after you wander around here! (No!) Not so many people would say "No!"
Then why did you leave Christianity, if the ideal of Christianity could be described as centered upon the spirit world where God dwells, and if Christianity is the center of the world?
First, it is because you did not understand clearly about eternity, or the existence of the spirit world. Since we have the capability to compare with our intellect, we go to better places, getting rid of less appealing elements and seeking higher, more valuable realms.
This is the original human nature. Is it so? (Yes!) It may be true for women rather than for men. (Smile.) Is it true for men, too? (Yes!) It is the same for both.
Second, it is because you did not know God. Third, it is because you did not know that love is the center of God and is the central element of the spirit world.
Even though you might have known God and the spirit world, without connecting the two with love, they are so dry and it seems to be nothing different from the human world.
You were only aware of your uncomfortable feelings because of the control of the absolute God. You did not understand the existence of such a world centering on love.
