Key Points
God's true love needs an object partner to love and care for in a reciprocal relationship. His motive of creation was true love.
Of all the creation, man and woman are the closest object partners of God’s love. He is the True Parent of humanity.
To teach others that the relationship between God and human beings is that of parents and children is the shortcut to achieving world peace and an ideal world.
The key to world peace is true love, living for the sake of others.
Mother-son co-operation is essential to restoration.
The principled order of family restoration is to restore the mother, then the children and finally the father.
A family in which there is mother-son co-operation, is easier to restore because the children grow up receiving much love from their mother and therefore relate well with others
To recreate fallen human beings, the messiah comes with God’s seed free of Satan’s accusation and the fall, to change our lineage. To accomplish this, he and True Mother offer us the Blessing.
Now the era of love is the time to restore women's original value and position as equal to that of men in terms of true love.
A daughter is a candidate for a future loving mother.
When a woman who is the center of love and harmony takes central position, the family is very peaceful.
A woman should naturally subdue a man with love, not force, and be served by him. Then that couple can give birth to a filial child.
A wife who subdues her husband naturally will have a different lineage internally.

I already came back to Sidney. This speech is a recording.
Today I’d like to talk about “The Ideal Home and World Peace” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 2.
<This speech was given at the 2nd International Convention of the Women's Federation for World Peace, held on August 23, 1995, at Hotel Lotte World, Seoul, Korea > Honored guests, distinguished representatives and members of the Women’s Federation for World Peace, and women leaders from diverse fields: I am confident that our long-cherished wish for world peace will be brought one step closer to realization by this conference today. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your tireless efforts, in every corner of the globe, in building a more peaceful society and world. True world peace has never been accomplished on this earth, and yet this has been the one constant dream of all humanity throughout history. In order for this dream to be realized, a peaceful nation and society must be realized first. A peaceful nation and society can only grow out of the premise of a peaceful home. In this light, a peaceful and ideal home is the very starting point and the basic unit for a peaceful world.
What is the ideal home? As recorded in the book of Genesis, God's plan for the human family was for Adam and Eve to become a good husband and a good wife, thereby becoming good parents, and creating an ideal home. After that, God planned that their descendants would continue to duplicate the tradition of their parents' ideal home, and pass on their love, generation after generation. According to the teachings of my husband, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, God is the origin of true love. The very act of creation was prompted by God’s original nature, stemming from true love. God's true love needs an object partner to love and care for in a reciprocal relationship. God's motive of creation was true love. The creation, therefore, is God's object partner of love in physical form. Among all of creation, however, man and woman are the closest object partners of God’s love. God is the True Parent of humanity, and all men and women were created as His sons and daughters. God and humankind are True Parent and children.

God is the True Parent of humanity, and all men and women were created as His sons and daughters. God and humankind are True Parent and children.
The most important thing in achieving peace for mankind is to teach others that the relationship between God and human beings is that of parents and children. You must know that realizing this truth is the shortcut to achieving world peace and an ideal world.
This is the most important and fundamental principle. Everybody should truly understand the identity of God, who he is, and all humankind should understand the identity of each human being, and (understand) that the relationship between God and human beings is a parent-child relationship. (If) everybody really understands this fundamental truth, this is the shortcut way to achieve world peace and the ideal world.
If we do not realize the truth that God is the parent of all mankind, world peace is out of reach.
Character education is not enough. Discussing living for the sake of others is not enough. The most important thing, the fundamental truth, is the parent-child relationship. If we know this fundamental truth: You are my brother, you are my sister – (despite) different nationality and color and background – if you and I really realize we are children of God, how can we kill each other and fight each other? We need to teach who God is, his identity, and the identity of each human being.
Second, in establishing a world of peace, what mankind needs to know is that the principle of achieving world peace is the principle of true love. What is the main content of true love? Living for the sake of others. Centering on true love we need to teach living for the sake of others, and then the most important thing is what? The parent-child relationship beteen God and human beings. If we (all) know these two things, we can create world peace and we can achieve the ideal world. We need to teach this point.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: The Human Fall 13 - The Physical Fall
• Eve then seduced Adam with the hope that by uniting with him, she could rid herself of the dread and stand before God once again. This was Eve's motivation which led to the physical fall.
• Seeing Adam as her only hope of returning to God,
• Eve turned to Adam and tempted him, playing the same role as the Archangel had played when he had tempted her.
• Adam responded and formed a common base with Eve, and they began give and take action with each other. The power of the unprincipled love generated in their relationship induced Adam to abandon his original position and brought them together in an illicit physical relationship of sexual love.
• When Adam united in oneness with Eve, he inherited all the elements Eve had received from the Archangel. These elements in turn have been passed down to all subsequent generations without interruption.
• What if Adam had reached perfection without having yielded to fallen Eve's temptation? The providence to restore Eve would have been relatively easy.
Based on this content, let’s study Father’s word.
The Principle of Restoration is the 180 Degrees Reverse Way to That of This (Satanic) World
<277-202> There was mother-son co-operation in Noah’s age, but the genuine standard of mother-son co-operation started from Rebekah and Jacob. The human fall was committed by 3 beings: Adam, Eve and the archangel. The archangel seduced Eve and they committed the spiritual fall. Then, fallen Eve seduced Adam and they committed the physical fall thus going against God. The fallen archangel became Satan. The providence of salvation is that of restoration. Thus, the principle of restoration takes the 180 degree opposite (reverse) way.
In the providence of restoration, God's will could not be fulfilled without mother-son co-operation. If someone enters the Way of God's Will first, the first thing to do is to restore their physical mother.
Conversely, if the mother was restored first, she must restore her children before anything else. The principled order of family restoration is to restore the children after the mother. And the last thing is to restore the father who is the archangel.
A family in which there is mother-son co-operation, is easy to restore. As children grow up, they must first of all become one with their mother and grow up receiving much love from their mother. A child who has grown up without a mother's love has great limitations in human relationships.
This is my own testimony. When I joined our church and signed to become a Unificationist, what happened? Exactly one week(?) later my mother’s ancestors appeared to her to help me. Wow! I cannot deny how much the spiritual world helped me. I restored my mother; it took one week. She supported me. That means my mother’s ancestral background is quite good. I feel that. Otherwise, how would ancestors have appeared to her to support her son? This is mother-son cooperation. Without noticing it, I followed that order of restoration. I restored my mother, then my younger brother and sister. And then finally I restored my father. It took a long time to do that. I exactly followed the pattern. The Divine Principle is really amazing! This is what Father was talking about.
For example, if the mother is restored, she needs to restore her children first, then her husband. This is the Principle order.
Looking at Adam's family, Cain and Abel had to become one centering on their mother. Abel in particular, had to become one with his mother, and Abel, who was loved by his mother, had to embrace Cain, his older brother.
Joseph received a lot of love from his parents. As a result, he was able to forgive all his brothers who tried to kill him.
If Joseph had not received proper love from his mother, he would not have had that kind of heart to forgive his brothers.
Joseph's capacity of love was cultivated through the plentiful love that he received from his parents, especially his mother. That is why mother-son cooperation is really important.
Also, the reason Isaac absolutely obeyed Abraham when he offered him as a sacrifice was because Isaac grew up receiving enough love from his mother, Sarah.
Mother’s son is really important. Why can’t I restore my elder son or younger son? There is a relationship problem between mother and son. ...
Looking at these results, a mother's love determines everything.
Mother-son cooperation is really important.
God, who lost Adam who had the seed of true love and true life must seek for a son who has a new seed who cannot be accused by Satan. Since God created Adam first, He has to find a son who is not relating to the fall in the providence of restoration which is the providence of recreation. This is the fundamental Messianic thought. The Messiah is the true one who denies the lives of the people with fallen lineage subjugated by Satan and engrafts the new seed of life. The Messiah should eradicate the things committed by Adam as a second Adam, although his root is in God. This is why God cannot send just anyone with godly power to this world.
God must seek for and establish a son who has a new seed of God's lineage and who is free from Satan's accusation. Therefore, the Messiah must recreate fallen human beings from a position unrelated to the Fall.
Therefore, the standard by which True Parents blessed us was based on a standard that had nothing to do with the Fall.
If True Father had not settled this issue, how could he have given the Blessing? If Father had original sin, how could he have given the Blessing? He could not have. True Father has come without original sin. You need to know this clearly.
The purpose for the Messiah to come to this earth was for the changing of lineage. So you don't know how important the Blessing is.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: The Secret to Birthing a Filial Son and Daughter
This is also very important. We can know the secret of how to give birth to a filial son and daughter.
The Daughter Is a Candidate for a Future Loving Mother
1. A daughter's position in each family is a candidate for a future loving mother. In a way, the daughter is in the position of Abel rather than the son because she has to play the role of mediator of love. Until now, it was the age of the male-centered archangel. Now, in the age of love, the age of women is more precious. If you look at it centering on love, a woman is more valuable in a family. In the future, if a daughter is raised well at home, a man will marry into a woman's house. The era of daughters marrying into the groom's house, as was the tradition of the past in Korea, is over. In the age of the male-centered archangel, women were in the same position as being sold to a man's house. Now is the age of love. The woman is the center of love, and the husband must instead come to the woman's house and serve her. When a woman gets married, it is not the woman who goes to live in the man's house, but rather the man has to come and live in the woman's house. A man must come and serve his father-in-law and mother-in-law well. Then the father and mother-in-law values her son-in-law more than her own son.
This is based on Korean tradition and history. It is a little different now.
Until now, it was the age of the era of the male-centered archangelic realm. Now, in the age of love, women are more precious. Of course, women and men are equal in terms of true love.
Up until now, women had suffered indemnity and suffering because of Eve's fall. Now is the time to restore women's original value and position in the era of love. Therefore, in the era of restoration of love, it is time for women to be treated more preciously.
A daughter's position in each family is (as) a candidate for a future loving mother. In a way, the daughter has to play the role of a mediator of love, so she can be seen as being in the position of Abel rather than the son.
In the era of the male-centered archangelic realm, women were in the same position as being sold to a man's house in the past. Now, in the era of love, the opposite has happened.
Since the woman is the center of love, the time has come for the man to come and live in the woman's house.
Of course, now the man can live in a woman’s house, and the woman can come to the man’s house. I am talking about Korean tradition. What I am talking about now is a different era and situation.
When a woman gets married, it is not the woman who goes to live in the man's house in the past. It is different now. But rather the man has to come and live in the woman's house.
The Present Era Is Not the Era of the Male-Centered Archangelic Realm
2. In the olden day of Korea, if you birthed a daughter, it was tradition to unconditionally marry her. The era of the realm of the archangel centered on men is over and now is the era of love centered on women. From now on, each family should raise their daughters in a precious way. Then it means that it is the age when men come looking for women. Instead of the women going into the men's home, it is the age where the man must go to the woman's house and serve her. When a woman, who is the center of love and harmony, takes central position, the family is very peaceful. Do you know that there was a time in the past of Eastern societies when daughters were raised and sold to thieve-like men? There was a time when people were sold for money. And there was a time when a groom would come and spend all his possessions to take his wife.
Many Japanese female members of our Unification Church are now going out to the whole world receiving international blessings. They were not forced out, but left voluntarily. They were the people that True Parents paid the price for with their blood, sweat, and tears, brought them to Satan, and sent them out to the whole world.
The era of the realm of the archangel centered on men is over, and now is the era of love centered on women. From now on, each family should raise their daughters in a precious way. Then it means that it is the age when men come looking for women. Instead of the women going into the men's home, it is the age where the man must go to the woman's house and serve her. This is a story centered on the existing traditions of Korea.
When a woman who is the center of love and harmony takes central position, the family is very peaceful. Therefore, in a family, the mother is the queen of love and peace. Now, the time has come for men in each family to serve their mother in order to make them happy, not dominate the family.
The Secret to Birthing Filial Children
3. True Father often said that men are like thieves. It is because they steal God's love like the archangel. However, True Parents sent Japanese women all over the world with the mission to subdue men in the position of thieve-like archangels.
Then, True Father asked them to subdue men in the position of archangels with love. And, he told us never to be dominated by men in the position of the archangel like how Eve fell. He said that if a woman receives dominion from a man who is in the position of an archangel, that woman becomes a dead person.
He said that a woman should naturally subdue a man with love and be served by him. He said that when a woman makes a man surrender naturally with love and gives birth to a child, a filial child will be born in that family.
When a woman becomes pregnant, her parents-in-law, husband, and all family members must take good care of the pregnant mother and support her. It should be the custom of the Cheon Il Guk era to support the pregnant woman well and give birth to a filial child.
True Father often said that men are like thieves. He said this often. This is because men, like archangels, steal God's love.
True Parents sent Japanese women all over the world with the mission to naturally subjugate men in the position of thieve-like archangels.
Then, True Father asked them to subdue men in the position of archangels with love, not by force. And, he told them never to be dominated by men in the position of the archangel like how Eve fell.
He said that a woman should naturally subdue a man with love and be served by him.
How to conquer a man? Not by force. How can we create natural surrender with love?
He said that when a woman makes a man surrender naturally with love and gives birth to a child, a filial child will be born in that family.
How can one have a filial child? Even though she may have a terrible husband, if she serves, attends and loves him, naturally he will completely surrender to that woman. What is the outcome? Father said a filial son will be born in the family.
What is the secret to birthing a filial child? It is by naturally subjugating the husband, who is in the archangel position, by loving him. So by looking at the children, we can quickly know whether or not the wife has naturally subdued her husband.
Sarah, who naturally subdued Abraham, had Isaac who was a filial son. Rachel, who naturally subdued Jacob, had Joseph who was a filial son.
And Joseph could forgive his brothers. Why? And finally at the end Rachel who served Jacob faithfully, the quality and level of her love was upgraded. And finally she became pregnant and gave birth to Joseph who became an incredible filial son.
A wife who subdues her husband naturally will have a different lineage internally.
Father was talking about the position of the mother and the wife (whose role) is very important. They(?) completely changed the blood lineage.
Father said woman is more important than man because man is in the archangel position. If the woman has that kind of love, really loving the husband, naturally surrendering to him, based on that result, God will bless her to give birth to filial sons and daughters. It is incredible!
Today I spoke about ”The Secret to Birthing Filial Children.”
