The basis for getting closer to God

The phrase “God exists” is not an empty one. It is not that we deduce the necessity of God's existence by understanding the subject-object partner relationship through the Principle. It is that God existed before we came into existence, that He existed before we could think, and that He leads our senses and our whole beings. This awareness is more important than anything else. The basic point is that awareness precedes knowledge, not the other way around.

No man is worthy of heavenly consolation who has not first practiced diligently in the school of holy contrition. If your hard mind is to be softened / your closed heart is to be opened again / then go into your chamber and do not let the tumult of the world in. As the Scripture says: in your chambers speak to your heart / until it becomes sore and soft.

Here is the English translation of the text you provided:

Since I was a monk, I believed I must be lost if I felt any carnal desire, such as lust, anger, hatred, envy, and the like, toward a brother. I tried many things, confessing every day, but it did not help; for such desires kept returning.

No one can be enlightened unless he is first purified, purified and completed; nor can anyone be united with God unless he is first enlightened, so there are these three ways: purification, enlightenment, union.

Anyone who follows the teachings of Rev. Moon can make their body submit and unite with their mind one hundred percent. When you have done so and your mind and body are united, you can become the eternal object partner of God, the partner of His love.

Because God is the subject partner of love, life and lineage, He sought true sons and daughters who would live eternally with a complete and unbreakable standard.
