Sun Myung Moon

Sun Myung Moon (1920–2012) was a Korean religious leader who, together with his wife Hak Ja Han, founded the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, formerly known as the Unification Church.

At the age of 16, on Easter morning in 1936, Moon experienced a mystical encounter with Jesus during deep prayer. In this vision, he was instructed to take up Jesus' unfinished work and establish the Kingdom of God on earth. Over the years that followed, Moon had numerous spiritual experiences in which he received revelations of the Divine Principle, a text that illuminates God's nature, his purpose of creation, and his work throughout history up to the present day.

Moon's teachings, centered on the Divine Principle, emphasize the importance of family, marriage, and restoring divine order. He is particularly known for the mass marriage ceremonies he conducted, uniting couples from diverse cultures in a symbolic act of promoting peace and unity.

In the late 1990s, the Unification Church officially became the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, refocusing its mission on global peace, human development, and interfaith dialogue. Moon also founded several NGOs, such as the Universal Peace Federation and the Women's Federation for World Peace, which hold consultative status with the United Nations and work on peace initiatives aligned with his vision.

Despite facing criticism during his lifetime, Moon's teachings and organizations continue to influence global peace efforts today.

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's First Blessing - Personal Perfection

The key to God's first blessing is the perfection of the individual character. The mind and body of an individual are separate formations and object partners of God's polar attributes. If an individual wants to perfect their character, they must realize a four-position foundation within themselves, with their mind and body becoming one with God at the center through give and take. Such individuals become temples of God18, reach full unity with Him19, and develop a divine nature.

Religion requires a lifestyle of denying the desires of the body

Religion requires a lifestyle of denying the desires of the body and following the dictates of the mind

Humankind consists of men and women. And each of them has two sides, mind and body. In believing in a religion, do you believe in it with your mind and body or with only your mind? It would be ideal for you to believe in it with your mind and body united. When they are not united, God centers first on the mind, which is the subject partner, in order to bring them into oneness.

When they unite, you have not five but ten sense organs.

What is the relationship between mind and body? There is a partnership between subject and object. They should both exist for the good of their partner. The mind lives for the body and the body for the mind. When they unite, you have not five but ten sense organs. You can then see the heavenly spiritual world and understand it. Everyone will hear the music that comes from heaven.

The Human Mind

html

The human mind consists of the spiritual mind and the physical mind. The relationship between the two minds corresponds to that of Sông Sang and Hyông Sang. When they become one by giving and receiving with God at the center, they form a unified entity that guides the Spiritual Self and the Physical Self to enter into a harmonious relationship and realize the purpose of creation. We refer to this united entity as the mind of a person.

While our spiritual and physical minds remain under Satan's slavery

As long as our mental and physical temperament is subject to the bondage of Satan, the functional being, which is formed in giving and receiving, must be called an evil temperament. The evil temperament incessantly drives man to do evil. Our original temperament and our conscience prompt us to reject the evil temperament. They lead us, with desperate effort, to deny evil desire and to hold on to good, tearing apart the shackles of Satan and turning to God.
