Unification Family Life (071) Chapter 2. The Unification Church Section 2. The Thought And The Assertion Of The Unification Church 5) The Thought Of The Unification Church
⑤ Cosmosism
What does the Unification Church have? It has Unification Thought. That is our pride. How big is it? We have the thought which we call Cosmosism. That is an amazing statement. It is seeking to eternally unify the spirit world and the physical world. Its container is so big that if the whole world were put into it, the world would fill just a comer of it. It is an ideology that can only be filled by putting the spirit world, the whole cosmos into it.
It is not some blind ideology. It is an ideology which is founded on gradually developing laws and connected to a formal process. This content is difficult, so people who have come for the first time may have trouble understanding what's being said. (147-184)
Have you ever heard the term "sonism"? The parents take the viewpoint of "sonism," and the son must take the viewpoint of "sonism," and they must unite. Have you ever heard of anything like this? That "ism" does not fit in the realm of familyism. In familyism, the families are needed in order to unite to form the nation.
This familyism is then absorbed into nationism. And nationism is absorbed into worldism. And worldism is absorbed into cosmosism. And cosmosism is absorbed into heartism. From that viewpoint, what "ism" is today's Unification Church? What "ism"? [heartism].
The "ism" of the Unification Church is heartism. When we say cosmosism (Chunjujuui), which Chinese character is used for "ju" in "Chunju"? In the term cosmosism (Chunjujuui), how is it possible that the "ju" character meaning "home" is used? Why not the characters meaning the great lord of heaven's "ism" (chundaejuui) or the great king of heaven's "ism" (chunwangjuui) or the lord of heaven's "ism" (chunjujuui)?
So why does the word for cosmos (chunju) use the character for home (ju)? The home is the cradle of all joy; it is the beginning point of the world; it is the crux of the matter for all blessings. I mentioned it before, but heaven is the subject and earth is the object.
When we took at things centered on that subject and object, and when we talk abut love in relation to humankind who is in the object position, for instance if it's Adam, centered on Adam, then in front of God, who is the subject to Adam, it is the family which can occupy the place of that point where they can unify perpendicularly at the point of unity. Isn't that so?
Because the family is the place where the center axis of the universe can finally take its place on the earth, without finding the family, the center of the universe cannot be established. That's why it is called cosmosism (Chunjujuui). Now do you understand why the character "home" (ju) is used in cosmos? (24-276, 57-112) |
