Unification Theory of Personality: Unification Thought Unification Psycology
The structure of the human mind

By Y. Marianov, Unification Psychology 

Psychology tried to understand how the mind works. Psychology however made one cardinal mistake of limiting it's studies to the physical mind only. Thus psychological studies could mostly observe the fallen nature and could not distinguish what is our true original state.

Religion on the other side was trying to research the mind through spiritual experiences and revelations. Unification Psychology, based on the Unification Thought, uses the structure of the 'Four Position Foundation' to understand the functions of the mind in a more unified way; spiritually and scientifically. As Dr. Moon explains,

"The Kingdom of God, according to the Bible, is in your mind... It is not the mind that has elements of death from the fallen world, but the mind that has waves of the grace of life. This is the mind that can extend the grace of life to the world by removing the elements of death." Sun Myung Moon

To understand why the human mind can tune to vibrate, either with the waves of death or with the light of God, we have to first understand the dual structure of the mind.

The Dual Structure of the Mind

As Unification Thought states, "We may say that a certain individual's mind has a different kind of "structure." ...it is possible to understand the invisible mind by speaking of it as if it were a structured thing." UT p.27

Fig. 1-4. Give-and-Receive Action and the Four-Position Base

The human mind has a dual structure. It consists of Spiritual and Physical parts relating to each other as subject and object partners. We may call them respectively, spirit mind and physical mind. When they become one through give and take action with the Heart as their center, they form a united functioning entity. This united entity is the human mind.

The physical mind corresponds to the brain and the human instincts.  It is mainly concerned with our individual survival; food, sleep and sex. The physical mind is temporal and limited. We may compare it with a radio receiver, which perceives the functions of the spiritual mind; intellect, emotion and will. Thus, even though our physical mind is not much different than that of an animal, we human beings are reasoning, feeling and acting on a completely new and higher level because of the constant give and take action with the spiritual mind.

When man's spiritual mind (Sungsang) and physical mind (Hyungsang) engage in give-and-receive action centering on Heart, they form a "harmonized body," or "union." Through this process, four positions come to be established, namely, the center (i.e., Heart), the subject (Spiritual Mind), the object (Physical Mind), and their harmonized union (The Human Mind). The structure made up of these four positions is called the "four-position base."

This normal functioning of the mind is only possible when the spiritual mind is in subject position over the limited (enamel-like) physical mind. The reverse state is very dysfunctional and leads to selfish and self-destructive behavior. Not only that our spiritual capacity will be imprisoned and blocked by the limitations of the physical mind, but in this reverse state the brain is incapable to recognize the source of any spiritual influence and easily creates give and take action with low spirits, whose life was also dominated by low physical and selfish needs and strives. This inner reversal is the main cause of all the evil, suffering and misuse in human history.

Spiritual Mind
Our spirit self consists of the dual characteristics of the spirit mind (subject partner) and spirit body (object partner). The spirit mind is the center of the spirit self, and it is where God dwells. The spirit mind has the main functions of intellect, emotion and will centered on the impulse of the heart. They are created to directly perceive and respond to God's intellect, emotion and will. In addition, our spirit mind is sensitive to the true feelings, joy and pain of the people around us. Thus it is incapable to lead us towards any evil and selfish acts.

When the physical mind obeys the spirit mind and the physical self acts according to the good purpose of the spirit mind, the physical self receives living spirit elements from the spirit self. In this state, the person is spiritually and psychologically well. When the physical mind subjugates the spirit mind, this reversal of dominion results in numerous spiritual and psychological dysfunctions.

Truth illuminates the innermost desires of the spirit mind. A person must first comprehend his spirit mind's deepest desire through the truth and then put this knowledge into action to fulfill his responsibility. Only then do the living spirit elements and vitality elements reciprocate within him, enabling him to progress toward goodness.

This implies that one's spirit mind always knows right from wrong. It always senses God's truth. When one actually leads a life of goodness, the living spirit elements engage in proper give and take with the vitality elements and are infused into his physical self to make it wholesome. Meaning, our psychological and physical health are enhanced. In fact, living for the sake of others is the only sure way to be well and happy.

The spirit self can attain perfection only during a person's earthly life. The spirit mind guides the spirit self as it grows in the soil of the physical self. The growth of the spirit self toward perfection progresses through the three orderly stages ordained by the Principle of Creation. A spirit in the formation stage of life is called a form spirit; in the growth stage, a life spirit; and in the completion stage, a divine spirit.

A spirit fully matures as a divine spirit when the person's spirit self and physical self unite through perfect give and take action centered on God and form the four-position foundation. A divine spirit can accurately feel and perceive every reality in the spirit world. As these spiritual realities resonate through the body and manifest themselves as physiological phenomena, they can be recognized through the five physical senses. People of a divine spirit, who thus resonate with the spirit world, build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. When they shed their physical bodies, they will make a smooth transition into the Kingdom of Heaven in the spirit world. For this reason, the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven will be realized only after the Kingdom of Heaven on earth has been established.

We can develop sensibilities of our spirit only through the physical self

All the sensibilities of a spirit are cultivated through the reciprocal relationship with the physical self during earthly life. Therefore, only when a person reaches perfection and is totally immersed in the love of God while on earth can he fully delight in the love of God as a spirit after his death. All the qualities of the spirit self are developed while it abides in the physical self: Sinful conduct during earthly life aggravates evil and ugliness in the spirit of a fallen person, while the redemption of sins granted during earthly life opens the way for his spirit to become good. 

Humans are created so that once they reach perfection they will fully breathe the love of God. Those who committed sinful deeds while on earth become crippled spirits who are incapable of fully breathing in the love of God. They find it agonizing to stand before God, the center of true love. Of their own will, they choose to dwell in hell, far removed from the love of God.



Physical Mind
The physical self consists of the dual characteristics of the physical mind (subject partner) and the physical body (object partner). The physical mind directs the physical body to maintain the functions necessary for its survival, protection and reproduction. Instinct, for example, is an aspect of an animal's physical mind. For the physical self to grow in good health, it must have proper nourishment. It must absorb air and sunlight, which are intangible, yang types of nourishment, and must eat and drink food and water, which are tangible, yin types of nourishment. The body has give and take with this nourishment through its digestive and circulatory systems.

Good or evil in the conduct of the physical self is the main determinant of whether the spirit self becomes good or evil. This is because the physical self provides a certain element, which we call the vitality element, to the spirit self. In our everyday experience, our mind rejoices when our physical self performs good deeds but feels anxiety after evil conduct. This is because vitality elements, which can be good or evil according to the deeds of the physical self, are infused into our spirit self.


Heart
The key to God's first blessing is the perfection of individual character and heart. An individual's mind and body are discrete projections and object partners of God's dual characteristics. In order for an individual to perfect his character, he must form a four position foundation within himself whereby his mind and body become one through give and take action with God as their center. Such individuals become the temples of God,^{15(I Cor. 3:16)} achieve complete oneness with Him,^{16(John 14:20)}  and acquire a divine nature.
They experience the Heart of God as if it were their own. Hence, they understand His Will and live fully attuned to it. When a person abides in the state of individual perfection, he lives as a substantial object partner to his mind. Because the center of his mind is God, he also lives as a substantial object partner to God. Both the mind and God rejoice as they experience their internal nature and external form through the stimulation which their object partners give them. Accordingly, when people realize God's first blessing, they become God's beloved who inspires Him with joy. Sharing all the feelings of God as their own, they would never commit any sinful acts that would cause God grief. This means they would never fall. 


Human Mind
The human mind has three faculties: emotion, intellect and will. The human body acts in response to the commands of the mind. When the body responds to the mind's emotion, intellect and will, its actions pursue the values of beauty, truth and goodness respectively. God is the subject partner to the human mind; hence, He is also the subject partner to human emotion, intellect and will. Desiring to realize his original value, a person responds to the perfect emotion, perfect intellect and perfect will of God through his mind, and acts accordingly through his body. Thus, he manifests the values of original beauty, original truth and original goodness. 

Outer and Inner Four-Position Base

The Outer Developmental Four-Position Base: This base produces a new body through give-and-receive action between the Original Sungsang and the Original Hyungsang centering on the Purpose of Creation. In this case, the Sungsang is the same as the Logos produced as a new body through the inner give-and-receive action. The formation of a new body through give-and-receive action between the Original Sungsang and the Original Hyungsang relates to the creation of all things. "Development" here refers to the emergence of a new body through give-and-receive action.

FREE ENERGY IS here: Selfishness is the only obstacle

Free Energy is Here:
Selfishness is the only obstacle

For over 60 years now, the technology to drive a car on water exists and is being used. It's about the time for such technologies to come out. The near future will see a new world, where selfishness will have no place. Energy will be plentiful and free. People will no longer work as slaves, all their lives just for bare survival. Read Rev. Moon's predictions to learn more.

The Era of Water Food is Coming

In addition, Rev. Moon spoke of the future of 'Water Food'. Scientists, he explained will make the water not only give you all the needed nutrients but to also improve your health. Keshe foundation is now teaching humanity how to do just that; get nutritions and health through energizing water.

"The very first era for humans was that of eating raw food. It was followed by the era of eating cooked food. Next will come the era of "water food," inn other words, the time when we take nutrition from water. The time will come in the future when scientific food can serve well to maintain our health. That era when humans effort is needed will pass.

At such a time, what are we going to do? What will remain then will be the culture of art. We will seek the path of beauty and love. This is a good thing." Sermons of Rev. Sun Myung Moon 4, p. 11

Turn waste into energy

FREE ENERGY IS here! You can do this in your own back yard. Take any non-nuclear material containing carbon, and using this process, deliver a diesel quality fuel oil in two short hours!

See Jean pain composting" to learn how you can do this in your own back yard. Stanley Meyers easy to build Tubes also abiotic oil and Fischer--Tropsch process.

It cost the United States 400 billion dollars to import oil "last year", seems a well-rounded number given the barrels of oil imported and the 2007 price of oil.

It has consistently, for many years, been the stated goal of the United States to reduce or eliminate its dependence on foreign oil, therefore, if any alternative energy source seems capable of achieving that goal, it should be pursued with the utmost vigor.

We can take any non-nuclear material containing carbon, and using this process, deliver a diesel quality fuel oil in two short hours! That will not only alleviate our dependence on foreign oil but to do so while contributing to a major degree in cleaning the environment.

*FREE ENERGY IS here!
It's in everything. All the matter contains it; water, earth, air, sun. We have to harness it. It's not a secret anymore that with water we can power our cars, or even produce the heat to disintegrate the nuclear waste, thus producing enough energy to supply the whole planet.

On the internet, you can find people who made energy from the earth or by other simple homemade means. here are some examples:

Do schools kill creativity? TED video by Sir Ken Robinson

TED video by Sir Ken Robinson
Do schools kill creativity?

We see extraordinary evidence of human creativity, in the variety of it and the range of it. But what's gonna happen in the future? All kids have talents and we squander them quite ruthlessly. The education needs a radical change.

Changing Education Paradigms: Do schools destroy creativity?



Everyone is interested in education
Everyone is interested in education. Partly because the education that's meant to take us to the future that we cannot now grasp.

No body has a clue what the world is gonna look like in 5 years, yet we have to educate the kids for the world after 20-30 years.

Every education system in the world has the same subjects. Like if the whole purpose of the education is to produce university professors. Our education system is predicated on our academic ability. They look upon our body as a way to transport our heads.

The reason is, the education is a product of the industrial revolution. There was no system of education before 19 century. Academic ability came to dominate our view of intelligence. And the consequence is that many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they are not.

Creativity is as important in education as literacy
All kids have talents and we squander them quite ruthlessly. Kids are not frightened to be wrong. If we are not prepared to be wrong we cannot be creative. Yet until children grow up we are educating out of this capacity. So until we grow we are educated out of creativity.

Can you imagine if Shakespeare was treated as a child in this way; "Stop speeking like that, it's confusing everybody", "Put down the pencil and go to bad now".

We are put away as children from what we like to do.

We have to rethink the whole education system
We live now in an age were degree is not that important for work. We need to radically rethink our view of intelligence. The whole structure of education is shifting under our feet.

First, Intelligence is diverse. We think of our world in all the ways we are experiencing it. We think visually, we think in sound, we think abstract, we think in movement.

Secondly, intelligence is dynamic - very interactive. Many of the ideas come from interactions even between the different subjects.

The present education system is not gonna serve us for the future. We need to adopt a new conception that will not strip the children of their creativity and imagination. Our task is to educate the whole being and prepare them for the future which we may not live to see, but they will.

Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames - Thich Nhat Hanh and Rev. Moon

Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames
Thich Nhat Hanh and Rev. Sun Myung Moon: Comparison

Fundamentally, to be angry is to suffer. Anger is a handbook not only for transforming anger but for living each moment beautifully. And truly Rev. Moon is the master of that, being the most persecuted religious leader in our recent history, yet being able to transform anger into love, even in the hearts of his enemies.

By Yulian Marianov

Anger. It can not only ruin our health and our spirits, it destroys our relationships. New book of the great spiritual teacher and author of Living Buddha, Living Christ provides real help for transforming the negative force of anger into a positive and useful energy, bringing harmony and healing to all aspects of our lives.

Anger can be one of the most frustrating emotions, carrying us headlong into separation and dismay. Vietnamese monk and world teacher Thich Nhat Hanh tackles this most difficult of emotions in his book, "Anger". Here I would like to make a simple comparison with the Principle way of dealing with that problem.

Fundamentally, to be angry is to suffer. Anger is a handbook not only for transforming anger but for living each moment beautifully. And truly Rev. Moon is the master of that, being the most persecuted religious leader in our recent history, yet being able to transform anger into love, even in the hearts of his enemies.

All human problems, explains Divine Principle, emanate from ignorance. Ignorance about our internal world and purpose of life, as well as the external universe and it's laws.

How ignorance lead us to anger
So how ignorance will lead us to anger? When we don't know someone we are afraid, have prejudices and judge others wrongly. Rev. Moon gives a simple example. If something is part of us we don't feel it strange, even if that's a bad smell. Anger and hatred among different religions, races and cultures was based on not knowing and understanding the other side.

Nostradamus, the Korean Prophecy and the Bible

Rev. Moon became the "Champion of Inter-religious reconciliation" by one simple method, that no one used in the past. He simply brought representatives from all faith to work heart to heart for a common cause. For most, simply the experience of getting to know the other as human beings, observing their sincerity in loving God, brought to a fundamental change in attitude.

This experience was for many stronger then a revelation. From life of anger and resentment against others, they now determined to support Rev. Moon and work for peace and reconciliation together with their brothers and sisters of other faith and religion.

Why past efforts failed
In the past attempts were made to settle these resentments through theological dialogues and tolerance. But such tolerance is like a "Cold War". Such efforts could not bring the culture of love. Instead, more walls and barriers were build between the different parties; be it religions, or different struggling nations.

At the same time, each falsely presumed, that they have to first love themselves, rather then, as Rev. Moon teaches, "forget yourself and live for the sake of others". They could never understand God as a "Loving Parent" as Sun Myung Moon did. In his words, "God is a Parent for all humankind," not just to particular sect or religion.

"God, the Creator of all things under the sun, is the true parent of all humanity. He is not a parent existing only for a certain religion, a certain race, or the residents of a certain region. You may call Him by any name, be it Jehovah, Allah, or any other. He certainly exists, lives as the true parent of all people." Rev. Sun Myung Moon

Rev. Moon revealed, with his life and teachings, yet another vital secret to peace. Never count how much you have invested for others, just "give, forget that you have given and give again." This principle is the key to unconditional love and happiness.

If you count how much you have given, your heart is never free to experience happiness even if others return to you, since you already presume they are obligated. But when we "give and forget", our hearts are free to experience the utmost happiness even from the smallest return.

"True love is to give and give and give; to forget that you have given, and give again." Rev. Sun Myung Moon

This principle is obvious, if we observe the relationship of a mother and a small baby. The mother can toil day and night tirelessly, yet the simple smile of her child will make her feel enormous joy.

Rev. Moon's teachings really bring a revolution in understanding (overcoming ignorance) and a "Revolution of Heart and Conscience". Imagine what would have happened if the world greatest religions; Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism, could practice this kind of serving love towards each other. All barriers and hatred would have be gone long ago. It's only a matter of time for the world to hear, understand and be transformed.

Why Buddhism and no other religion could bring that revolution of heart for thousands of years. Even if we read Thich Nhat Hanh we can distinguish some fundamental gaps in understanding. First, most religious teachings told us to be concerned about ourselves, love ourselves first; yet, this is absolute reversal of the universal principles. We exist for others and our value and happiness depend on how much we can live for others, as Rev. Moon teaches.

Second, religions were concerned mostly with the individual problem and even often renounced married life. Yet, Divine Principle explains that personal growth and development of heart and conscience comes in the family. Family is the school of love and the foundation for healthy society.

Because of their inability to solve from the root human and social problems, religions tended to excuse the existence of evil as immanent part of our life, or simple expect that one day God will solve this problem instead of us. Yet, Divine Principle explains clearly that this is our responsibility and all human and social problems can be solved once we established true, loving and blessed families. These ideals are expressed in the International and Interreligious marriages Rev. Moon had held for millions of couples.

The man who ended Communism, Rev. Moon, is now dedicated to unite the efforts of religions, scientists, politicians and governments and bring a World of lasting Peace and Prosperity. Reed more
