Key Points
Parents' love for their children does not diminish or change its perfection even when it is shared among several children. That is why one parent can have multiple children and love them.
It is because of this principle that the one God loves all humankind as His children.
However, love between husband and wife cannot become perfect love if either spouse loves another person. When conjugal love is shared, its wholeness is destroyed. Original nature does not allow a third party in conjugal love.
When a husband and wife take responsibility for their committed, eternal love relationship, there is peace at home.
When those who have joined our movement earlier and played an important role observe someone who has joined later who is superior to them and who receives more love and attention, they should be wary of envy and jealousy, and should think of that younger person as Abel whom they should attend.
Because the internet exposes young people to sex and love before the time is ripe and encourages illicit relationships, it should be more carefully regulated.
We should educate young people about the value of true love and purity.
We must turn the Internet into a tool for spreading the Divine Principle and heavenly culture.
The ten months in the womb determine the life of a person.
The entire family should offer sincere devotion for the birth of God's lineage.
Heart and blood are the same.
We must live a life of purifying blood through studying God’s word, attendance and service.
When we understand God’s and Jesus’ lonely heart, non-stop tears come down. This is the way our blood lineage upgrades.
Blessed couples’ sex life is God's wish.
If God says “Do,” do it, and if God says “Don't,” don't do it.
Our spouse is our God.
Absolute sex means our sex life should not be centered on our desires, but absolutely centered on God.
The sexual organs are the Holy of Holies, the original birthplace where God gives birth to children of love.
When your partner wants to have a sexual relationship, you must know that it is God's wish and always be prepared to accept it. When our spouse wants it and we reject it, we reject God!
In order to purify the blood, the sound of holy songs and praise sung by the mother must always be heard.
If the mother offers the utmost sincere devotion, the children will voluntarily follow.
When parents sincerely do Kyungbae in front of Heaven, their children are bound to want to Kyungbae together with them.
The mother should offer kyungbae with her children on waking up, before going to school, after returning from school and before going to bed.
The purpose of Kyungbae worship in front of Heaven is training to connect with God vertically and to respect and treat our parents, the other person, and children with a holy mind.
Children should not be forced to Kyungbae worship, but should be allowed to participate voluntarily.

Today is Christmas Eve. In Australia it is almost over. I wish you a merry Christmas Eve with your family. My family is going to have a Christmas family service tomorrow on Sunday. I am planning to become Santa Claus and give presents to all our family members and to have fun and have us all have an enjoyable time.
My brothers and sisters, Merry Christmas!
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 > Within the four relationships of heart, vertical love, such as a parent's love for children, does not diminish or change as it goes from one child to the next. That is why one parent can love many children. Because of this principle, one God can love all humanity as His children. As God's children, human beings, unlike the animals, were given total freedom to love between husband and wife. A human being's love is fundamentally different from that of an animal, which mates only to procreate. However, this freedom, if it involved no responsibility, could not be freedom in the truest sense. Love between a husband and wife requires responsibility. When a husband and wife are committed to sacred, everlasting love, and take responsibility for their relationship, there is peace at home.
This home will be a nest of happiness. It is heavenly law that children come from the indivisible and faithful love between a husband and wife. Men and women originally were created by God to grow to become true individuals, then to become true husbands and wives, sharing indivisible love with their spouses. By having children together, they would then become true parents. From the Bible we know that the ancestors of humankind did not have a marriage blessed by God, nor did they bear God's loving sons and daughters. Adam and Eve committed sin against their original parent and were kicked out of the garden of Eden. Outside the garden they had children that have multiplied through the generations. Because Adam and Eve became neither the true husband and wife nor the true parents that God desired, we as their descendants were not born in the lineage of true parents, as members of God's true family.
Parents' love for their children does not diminish or change its perfection even when it is shared among several children. That is why one parent can have multiple children and love them. It is because of this principle that the one God loves all mankind as His children.
However, love between husband and wife, which is the representative horizontal love, cannot become perfect love if you love another person. When conjugal love is shared, its wholeness is destroyed. The original nature of everyone does not allow a third party to intervene in conjugal love.
If a husband and wife share their love, the entire order of love will collapse. According to God’s principle of creation, the couple’s love was not (to be) shared with a third party. If anyone does not follow this principle, the family will be destroyed, and furthermore, the society, nation and world will be destroyed. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to keep conjugal fidelity.
Freedom without responsibility is not true freedom. Love between a husband and wife requires responsibility. When a husband and wife are committed to sacred, everlasting love, and take responsibility for their relationship, there is peace at home.
There is true freedom where the principles are absolutely followed.
If we ignore God's principle of true love and the principle of the universe, there will only be destruction and unhappiness.
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.
Things to be Careful About in our Life of Faith
• Thirdly: In our lives of faith, we should look closely at the motivation and process of the fall so that we do not go wrong. When those who joined our movement earlier and played an important role observe someone who joined later who is superior to them and who receives more love and attention, such members might have a lot of fallen nature and cause trouble in the church. We might observe that some central members who have been loyal to our church are apt to become an instrument of the devil because they might not have overcome their fallen nature even though they should resemble God by offering devotion throughout their whole life.
• Instead, you should be able to love and attend someone who’s closer to God and greater than you standing in the position of God when you feel jealousy, arrogance and anger toward that person so that you don’t go wrong on the eternal path of your life of faith.
One of the things to be wary of in the life of faith is envy and jealousy. If the other person is greater than I am, think of him as Abel.
If my leader really praises someone, think of him as my Abel whom I must attend.
The principle teaches that we are supposed to move forward through Abel.
Therefore, if you think the other person is better than you, you should think of him as your Abel and serve him. Think that the fact that Abel is loved more than you means that he is closer to Heaven.
We need to think this way.
We Should not let Today’s Teenagers be Exposed to Illicit Love Before the Time is Ripe
• Since we are living in an age when Satan uses the strategy of exposing people to illicit sex through provocative internet sites, etc., we observe lots of dreadful incidents of children falling these days just as Adam and Eve opened up their eyes through their fallen deeds.
• For instance, it has even been reported that an elementary school student was running a porno site and it caused serious social problems.
• That is why the laws and regulations curbing immorality shown in the mass media must be strengthened so that young children are not exposed to illicit sex before their time is ripe. Furthermore, they need to receive education about the value of true love and purity so they can have a healthy school life and be brought up well.
In the present world, Satan is using the internet as his tool. Through the internet, countless people are seduced and committing crimes. However, Heaven must turn the Internet into a tool for spreading the Divine Principle and preventing all obscenities.
We need to turn the Internet into a heavenly weapon. All mass media, including the phones people use, must be changed to a heaven-centered culture. In the final battle, all battles are unfolded through the Internet.
That is why our movement must study how to use the Internet effectively. This final war is being fought on the Internet. If we use it very well, it can become God’s instrument. This kind of era has come already.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Living to Purify The Blood
This is a critical point.
Change of Heart and Lineage
1. It is said that the birth of great children depends not on the father, but on the mother. You need to know that the blood of a baby in the mother's womb changes. In fact, if you look closer, you can see that heart and blood are the same thing. In the end, the heart of serving and attendance purifies the blood. Therefore, we must purify our blood by attending and serving. We must recreate the blood centered on our fallen nature through the blood of God's word. The blood centered on the fallen nature must be eliminated and converted into the blood of God. This is the change of lineage. Therefore, in order for this change of lineage to take place, there must first be a change of heart. Until now, we didn't know specifically where and how the conversion took place.
It is said that the birth of great children depends not on the father, but on the mother. Many people do not know that the blood of a baby changes in the mother's womb. Once a baby is born, nearly all of its destiny is decided already.
Therefore, the quality of the baby's lineage depends on how the mother internally converts the lineage from conception to birth. In that sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that the 10 months in the womb determine the life of a person.
Therefore, blessed families should understand that the 10-month period when a baby is in the mother's womb is a period in which the quality of the lineage changes, and the couple and the entire family should really work together and offer sincere devotion for the birth of God's lineage.
In fact, if you look closer, you can see that heart and blood are the same thing. You must know that when a mother's heart changes, her blood changes at the same time. In the end, the heart of attending Heaven and the heart of serving purify the blood. Therefore, we must live a life of purifying blood through attendance and service.
We must recreate the blood centered on our fallen nature through the Words of God and attendance. Therefore, in order for this change of lineage to take place, there must first be a change of heart. Until now, we didn't know specifically where and how the conversion took place.
How much have we changed our heart? The (extent to which) we have changed our heart, we can change our blood lineage. Actually blood lineage and the heart are the same thing. Our blood lineage can be changed according to the level of our heart. When we upgrade the level of our heart, (to that extent) our blood lineage will be purified and changed.
(Concerning) the mother’s heart, now we are living in the era of love. The woman is the center of love at home. If the woman upgrades the level of her heart, her blood lineage will change (to that extent). The change of her blood lineage directly connects to the baby in her womb.
The father, brother or sister, parent-in-law, (all of them) really need to protect the woman who has a baby in her womb. This is very important.
I realized that when we receive the Blessing, drink holy wine, do the 40-day separation and the 3-day ceremony, these are very external ceremonies. The internal ceremony is how to change the blood lineage. What is the best way to change our blood lineage? We need to change our heart. Our heart can really understand God’s sorrowful heart. Then we cannot go back to the fallen world any more. When we understand God’s and Jesus’ lonely heart, automatically non-stop tears come down. When our heart is cultivated and upgraded that much, this is the way to change the blood lineage.
When the mother changes her blood lineage, this can change the husband’s blood lineage and that of her children, her baby. That is why Father often emphasized that the mother is so important. She is the love center of the family.
Do you understand what the internal change of blood lineage means? How to cultivate our heart (is the issue). How we can understand the heart of God, of True Parents.
So, heart and blood lineage are the same thing. As I study I really understand that the Foundation of Faith and Foundation of Substance and finally foundation of heart, in order to change our heart, we need to begin with our spouse. How do we change the blood lineage? Through changing our heart.
This is really detailed. What content is more detailed than this?
Couples Should Know that Their Sex Life is God's Wish
2. Until now, it was unknown how the lineage was specifically changed. In order for the lineage to change, you must know your husband as the son of God or your wife as the daughter of God. Couples should know that their sex life is God's wish. You shouldn't think that you have sex because you desire it. It should be a sex life by God.
So if God says “Do,” do it, and if God says “Don't,” don't do it. You must absolutely obey God. That is God-centered absolute sex. What ‘absolute sex’ means is that my sex life should not be centered on my desires, but should be absolutely centered on God.
Until now, it was unknown how the lineage was specifically changed. In order for the lineage to change, you must know your spouse as the son or daughter of God and serve and attend them.
And the sex life of a couple is very important. Many people misunderstand this. The sex life of a couple should not be a sex life to satisfy their own desires. The couple must live their sex lives knowing that it is what God desires. You shouldn't think that I have a sex life because I wish. It should be a sexual life by God.
When our spouse wants sex, think that God wants it. We should not think that our spouse wants it. If God wants it, how can I refuse? – except when I am not feeling well. I have to... my spouse when she wants to.
So if God says “Do,” do it, and if God says “Don't,” don't do it. Then, after receiving the Blessing, who is God in my life? Your spouse is your God.
That is why if our spouse wants it, we need to think God wants it.
Therefore, you must absolutely obey your spouse who is your God. If the spouse makes sexual requests, it must be assumed that is what God desires. This is God-centered absolute sex.
What Absolute sex means is that my sex life should not be centered on my desires, but absolutely centered on God.
Living to Purify the Blood
3. The concave and convex areas of the body, the sexual organs of men and women, are what God most wants to use as the Holy of Holies. That is why the Holy of Holies is called the original birth place where God gives birth to children of love. Therefore, from now on you must know what it means to purify the blood. In order to purify the blood, the sound of holy songs and praise sung by mother must always be heard in the house. When a mother is alone in her family, she must always have sincere devotion for God in her worship so that her heart does not flow horizontally. If the mother offers the utmost sincere devotion, the children will voluntarily follow and obey the mother worship and sincere devotion. You shouldn't try to make the pledge service only for the children.
The concave and convex areas of the body, the sexual organs of men and women, are what God most wants to use as the Holy of Holies. That is why the Holy of Holies is called the original birth place where God gives birth to children of love.
When your partner wants to have a sex life, you must know that it is God's wish and always be prepared to accept it. If you live a sex life centered on the desires of the flesh, your child will not be able to escape the physical level of their parents. They are born without being able to change their lineage.
That is why when our spouse wants it and we reject it, we reject God! Why do you reject God?
There are many problems between husband and wife. One of the main problems is sexual relationships. We do not know the value of our spouse. The husband is really God’s son; the wife is really God’s daughter. If God’s son wants it, “I need to prepare to have give-and-take with my spouse. How can I reject?” Of course there are some (potential issues): woman’s time period or she has some kind of inner condition; (in that case) you cannot do it. Except for those situations, if your spouse really wants it, prepare your heart: “God wants it.” When the man’s sperm(?) comes out, (the woman) needs to think that “I am receiving God’s seed.” The woman needs to be ready to receive God’s seed. Man is the representative of heaven, and woman is the representative of earth. Then man, when your sperm comes out, you need to think, “I am planting God’s seed in the earth.”
Truly the education of Absolute Sex is so beautiful and powerful. Who can teach like that? Only True Parents.
(When) outside people have a sexual relation with their spouse or another woman or man, do they think like that?
When man’s... sperm comes out, he needs to think, “I am really planting God’s seed in the earth centering on my wife.” And the woman is happily waiting, “I am receiving God’s seed.” Think that way. How sacred! How beautiful!
Fallen man just has a relationship according to the desire of the flesh. That is why our baby’s blood lineage never changes. They just inherit their father and mother’s DNA. They never change.
When man and woman have that kind of holy, absolute sex and respect each other, treat each other as God’s representative, how beautiful!
In order to purify the blood, the sound of holy songs and praise sung by the mother must always be heard in the house. When a mother is alone in her family, she must always have sincere devotion towards God in worship so that her heart does not flow horizontally.
That is why if it is possible, a woman needs to pay some debt(?) condition. The woman bows down to heaven, “I respect God, my True Parents.” She has the same mindset toward her spouse. “I truly respect my husband, my children, my own brothers and sisters.”
Kyungbei training is very important. Don’t just do conditional kyungbei, but with utmost sincerity. Apply it to your horizontal relationships. Then they become holy.
If the mother offers the utmost sincere devotion, the children will voluntarily follow and obey the mother’s worship and sincere devotion.
The Purpose and Attitude of the Pledge
Service
4. When parents worship with sincere devotion, their children also want to worship together. Mothers should set an example first with their own subjectivity and as Abel, and have their children follow suit. You can't just let the kids do it when the mother doesn't do it either. During the morning Hoon Dok Hae at home, make sure to thoroughly conduct at least a pledge service. When children wake up in the morning, the mother must start her life by making her children worship first. And they must make it a habit to worship before going to bed. Mothers should create this environment well. The father must also cooperate closely by the side so that the mother and the children can give worship well. If it is not a worship atmosphere where the children can join together, the mother alone should give worship and move forward. Children should not be forced to worship, but should be allowed to participate voluntarily. Worship is important. The purpose of worshiping in front of Heaven is to respect and treat our parents, the other person, and children with a holy mind, with the same attitude of devotion as we worship before Heaven.
Here worship means kyungbae.
When parents sincerely do Kyungbae in front of Heaven, their children are bound to want to Kyungbae together. If my heart is true and faithful, it will surely stimulate the other person. So the power of truth is terrifying.
During the morning Hoon Dok Hae at home, make sure to thoroughly conduct at least Kyungbae. When children wake up in the morning, the mother must start her life by making her children Kyungbae first.
We must make it a habit to worship Kyungbae before going to school, worship Kyungbae when we return, and worship Kyungbae before going to bed. The training to worship Kyungbae is the training to connect with God vertically. If you do well in worship Kyungbae, your children's outlook on life will change and they will be settled vertically.
Kyungbae is really important. If we are thorough about the tradition of kyungbei, our family atmosphere is different.
I have come home and checked on this. I tell my daughter-in-law, when the grandchild, even though small, wakes up, bring him to me in our prayer room and kyungbei to True Parents first. Then bring him to me to greet me. (The same) before sleeping.
(Our children) need to have the habit of kyungbei to True Parents before going to school and after returning from school. Then come to the father and mother to do kyungbei. Kyungbei is really important.
When our children at least follow that kind of kyungbei tradition, they will become... vertical.
When I was young and came home from school, my mother told me (to greet) my father (who) was farming in a (field) about 300 or 400 meters from our home. (I went to him and said,) “Hi Daddy, I came back from school” and greeted him. Then my mother said, “Well done.” My mother educated me to always offer a greeting.
When I wake up, (I) greet God with a kyungbei.
If all children follow this simple kyungbei tradition, I am telling you, your education is 60% or 70% done.
When the mother has a baby in her womb, whenever you have time,... even a half-bow. Anyone doing kyungbei well always his or her situation becomes vertical.
If it is not a Kyungbae worship atmosphere where the children can join together, the mother alone should give Kyungbae worship and move forward. Children should not be forced to Kyungbae worship, but should be allowed to participate voluntarily.
Kyungbae Worship is critical and important. The purpose of Kyungbase worshiping in front of Heaven is to respect and treat our parents, the other person, and children with a holy mind, with the same attitude of devotion as we worship before Heaven.
We should listen to this content over and over again. The tradition of kyungbei and sexual relationship between husband and wife, what kind of attitude we should have. Ths is critical.
