The awareness that God exists is more important than anything else

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.

God in Buddhism

Furthermore, since Buddhism teaches that all Dharma is constantly changing, while the truth is found in the "Suchness" (眞如) behind the Dharma, we can say that "Suchness" in Buddhism represents the absolute essence. (122-300, 25.11.1982)

The spiritual world is praying for the physical world

25. During the third seven-year course, you need to head toward the world level, no matter what it takes.
Not only God but also Jesus and the numerous saints in the spirit world are saying, "You have come this
far, so please take one more step. You can go on to the next level with just this one more step." To this
end, just as we pray in support of the spiritual world, the spiritual world is praying for the physical world.

That is the reason unification will be realized. Until now, we have worked to help the spirit world, but

God feels to an even greater extent than we do.

Can the absolute God be sad? Can the all-knowing and all-powerful God avoid sadness? Can He understand sorrow? These are serious questions that I cannot take lightly. We cannot maintain the belief that the absolute God can be the Father of humanity and yet never experience sorrow. Here, there would be a logical contradiction, as this would fundamentally distance God, the Father, from His children who possess intellect, feeling, and will, and who experience feelings of joy, anger, suffering, and pleasure.

State of empathy with God

The path of following Heaven’s Will in a state of empathy with God is not one that many people can find through common sense. I would like to tell you, however, that a person who opens his or her original mind and exercises keen insight can discover a new consciousness by which to perceive the spirit world and the Will of God, who is alive and carries out His work in the world of reality.

The revolution of heart

The second part of shedding the fallen nature comes from the fact that, by no fault of our own, we are descendants of the Fall and have inherited fallen nature from birth. Therefore, it is the urgent task of each of us to bring about three great revolutions in our individual lives. I refer to the revolution of atonement, the revolution of conscience, and the revolution of heart.

God needs you

Each of you, as individual truth bodies created by God, needs to cultivate your own character through applying the Principle and, with a fervent, passionate and pure mind, clear up and overthrow unrighteousness and evil. Although your body may be living in this fallen world, don’t allow Satan to influence you. Transcending the sorrows of the past, you have to become a model of hope. Don’t be depressed when you experience hardships; instead, look toward the future with a vision of hope. God does not need your particular skills or knowledge.
