Cheon Seong Gyeong Ⅱ - 412. The family ideology of the global village
22 Who is leading history? The people who create history are those who are pursued and driven. History develops by going through stages. As we go forward, let us bear in mind that we are promoting an ideology of world peace. Therefore, we must not move forward by putting our own people at the center. Instead, we need to put all the people of the world at the center. As we advance, we need to explain that we are working for global equality. A group of people such as this will never fail. This thought was Christianity’s contribution toward the development of history. Christianity has advocated ideas such as the equality of all people, the brotherhood of all the world’s peoples, and humanity as one great family. For this it has been attacked throughout the ages.

23 The United Nations of the political world needs to unite with a UN of Religions and a Women’s UN: these three need to unite as Cain, Abel and Eve. If they become one with the True Father and True Mother, then all of humanity will enter the realm of one family. Moving in this direction, all the nations and their leaders can enter a peaceful world. A single nation will emerge, with God at its center. The world is composed of family systems. Therefore, the family is where this process begins. With that in place, no one will fight as we naturally move to the tribal foundation. In the same way, we will advance to a nation, the world, the cosmos and God. (254-315, 1994.02.16)
24 Many religions have the concept of a Messiah or Lord of the Second Advent. This tells us that there is a single common purpose for the establishment of religion. That single purpose is world peace and unity. Why should this be so? It is because there is one owner. The idea of God, the absolute being, is one, not two. Then what is the one thought behind the ideology of oneness? It is to make the world into one. It is to realize a world of peace, a united world. God’s Will is for brotherly and sisterly love to harmonize the world as a single family with love at its center, to realize a realm of oneness. (249-171, 1993.10.10)
25 All of humankind is one family. I am saying that we are a family. We are one family, connected through true love. Humankind is one tree. Your family is made up of many families living together. In your family, there are babies, boys, young men, middle-aged men and elderly men. Your family is a training ground where you educate others by example. You educate your children to connect them to the family of the world and the great universe. People who have been trained in your family fall into four categories: your grandfather and grandmother, mother and father, elder brother and sister, and you. Thus, training in your family is the way you graft onto the world family. You invest in your family in order to connect it to the world family. I am saying that you need this investment to accomplish the larger purpose. (289-209, 1998.01.02) |
